Interested parties which did not exercise their right to challenge the original Regulation before the European courts could, therefore, not claim that a judgment of the European courts should apply to them in like measure.
Zainteresirane strani, ki niso uveljavljale pravice do izpodbijanja prvotne uredbe pred evropskimi sodišči, zato ne morejo trditi, da bi morala sodba evropskih sodišč zanje veljati v enaki meri.
Finally, CISA and the four Chinese companies claimed that, if the expiry review Regulation was not repealed with erga omnes effects, this would be in breach of the principles of sound administration and good administrative behaviour.
Nazadnje, CISA in štiri kitajske družbe so trdili, da tudi če uredba o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa ni bila razveljavljena z učinki erga omnes, bi bilo to v nasprotju z načeloma dobrega upravljanja in dobrega upravnega ravnanja.
The annulment of an anti-dumping regulation affects only the parties that challenged it before the Court.
Razveljavitev protidampinške uredbe vpliva le na strani, ki so jo izpodbijale pred Sodiščem.
This is also reflected in the common practice of the Commission when implementing judgments.
To se odraža tudi v običajni praksi Komisije pri izvrševanju sodb.
In view of the errors found by the European Courts, and in line with its duty as an independent investigating authority, the Commission decided nonetheless to re-open the investigation in order to determine whether the measures resulting from the expiry review Regulation should be repealed erga omnes.
Komisija je zaradi napak, ki so jih ugotovila evropska sodišča, in v skladu s svojo dolžnostjo kot neodvisen preiskovalni organ kljub temu sklenila, da ponovno začne preiskavo, da bi ugotovila, ali bi bilo treba ukrepe, ki izhajajo iz uredbe o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa, razveljaviti erga omnes.
For the reasons set out in recitals 65 and 66, this examination revealed that any such repeal would, in fact, not be appropriate.
Iz razlogov, navedenih v uvodnih izjavah 65 in 66, je ta preizkus pokazal, da taka razveljavitev ne bi bila primerna.
In any case, the Chinese companies concerned were not able to explain in what way the non-repeal vis-à-vis all Chinese exporting producers would bring about a violation of the principle of sound administration.
V vsakem primeru zadevne kitajske družbe niso mogle pojasniti, na kakšen način bi nerazveljavitev v oziru do vseh kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov pomenila kršitev načela dobrega upravljanja.
Therefore, this claim, too, was rejected.
Tudi ta trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
D. APPROPRIATENESS OF THE REPEAL OF THE MEASURES IN LIGHT OF THE JUDGMENTS OF THE COURT OF JUSTICE AND THE GENERAL COURT
D. USTREZNOST RAZVELJAVITVE UKREPOV V LUČI SODB SODIŠČA EVROPSKE UNIJE IN SPLOŠNEGA SODIŠČA
The Commission examined whether it would be appropriate to repeal the extended anti-dumping duties on imports of SPT from China pursuant to the expiry review Regulation, in so far as those duties were imposed on the Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei.
Komisija je preučila, ali bi bilo ustrezno razveljaviti razširjene protidampinške dajatve na uvoz brezšivnih cevi iz Kitajske v skladu z uredbo o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa, v kolikor so bile navedene dajatve uvedene za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike, razen za družbo Hubei.
First, the Commission examined, in light of the Hubei judgments, the effects of the Hubei judgments on the expiry review Regulation.
Prvič, Komisija je v luči sodb Hubei preučila učinke navedenih sodb na uredbo o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa.
Second, the Commission re-examined the development of the main injury indicators of the Union industry after the investigation period of the original investigation on the basis of the information collected at that time.
Drugič, Komisija je ponovno pregledala razvoj glavnih kazalnikov škode za industrijo Unije po obdobju prvotne preiskave na podlagi informacij, zbranih v tistem času.
Third, the Commission assessed whether the findings of the expiry review would still hold true without considering Hubei's exports.
Tretjič, Komisija je ocenila, ali bi ugotovitve pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa še vedno veljale, če se ne bi upošteval izvoz družbe Hubei.
Fourth, the Commission considered the evidence collected during the expiry review investigation and the findings made on this basis, and determined the effect of a repeal of measures for the Union industry.
Četrtič, Komisija je preučila dokaze, zbrane med pregledom zaradi izteka ukrepa, in ugotovitve, do katerih je prišla na tej podlagi, ter določila učinek razveljavitve ukrepov na industrijo Unije.
The effects of the Hubei judgments on the expiry review Regulation
Učinki sodb Hubei na uredbo o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa
The General Court annulled the original Regulation imposing anti-dumping duties on imports of SPT from China ‘to the extent that it imposes anti-dumping duties on exports of products produced by Hubei Xinyegang Steel Co. Ltd and collects provisional duties imposed on those exports’.
Splošno sodišče je razveljavilo prvotno uredbo o uvedbi protidampinških dajatev na uvoz brezšivnih cevi s poreklom iz Kitajske „v delu, v katerem nalaga protidampinške dajatve na izvoz izdelkov družbe Hubei Xinyegang Steel Co. Ltd in določa pobiranje začasne dajatve, uvedene na ta izvoz“.
Thus, it is clear from the operative part of the judgment, which was explicitly confined to the duty imposed on Hubei, that the annulment was limited to the anti-dumping duties imposed on Hubei alone.
Iz izreka sodbe, ki je bila izrecno omejena na dajatve, naložene družbi Hubei, je torej razvidno, da je bila razveljavitev omejena le na protidampinške dajatve, naložene družbi Hubei.
As set out in recital 6, the Commission implemented the Hubei judgments in June 2016 by removing Hubei from the list of companies listed under the TARIC Additional Code A950, and listing it under a new TARIC Additional Code C129.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 6, je Komisija junija 2016 uveljavila sodbi Hubei z izbrisom družbe Hubei s seznama družb, vpisanih pod dodatno oznako TARIC A950, in jo vpisala pod novo dodatno oznako TARIC C129.
However, contrary to the claims of certain interested parties, the annulment of the original Regulation did not affect the validity of that regulation vis-à-vis Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei.
V nasprotju s trditvami nekaterih zainteresiranih strani razveljavitev prvotne uredbe ni vplivala na veljavnost navedene uredbe v oziru do kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, razen družbe Hubei.
This arises from the fact that anti-dumping regulations contain both measures of general application in that they impose an anti-dumping duty on the imports of the products concerned with a particular provenance on a category of addressees determined in a general and abstract manner, and bundles of individual decisions affecting those addressed by the regulation.
To izvira iz dejstva, da protidampinške uredbe vsebujejo tako ukrepe, ki se splošno uporabljajo, pri čemer uvajajo protidampinške dajatve na uvoz zadevnih proizvodov s posebnim poreklom na kategorijo naslovnikov, opredeljenih na splošno in abstraktno, in svežnje posameznih sklepov, ki zadevajo tiste, ki jih uredba obravnava.
The case-law, accordingly, recognises the possibility of a partial annulment of those regulations.
Sodna praksa zato priznava možnost delne razveljavitve navedenih predpisov.
In such situations, annulment in favour of only those addressees concerned by a judgment leaves in place the contested regulation for all parties which did not, in fact, challenge it.
V takih primerih razveljavitev uredbe v korist samo tistih naslovnikov, ki jih sodba zadeva, izpodbijano uredbo ohranja v veljavi za vse tiste strani, ki uredbe dejansko niso izpodbijale.
It is for those reasons that the Notice specifically spells out that the re-opening would be ‘limited in scope to the repeal of the extended anti-dumping duties … insofar as those duties are imposed on the Chinese exporting producers named in [the expiry review Regulation].’
Iz teh razlogov Obvestilo izrecno navaja, da bi bil ponovni začetek preiskave „po obsegu omejen na razveljavitev razširjenih protidampinških dajatev […] v kolikor so navedene dajatve uvedene za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike iz [uredbe o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa].“
Accordingly, the purpose of the re-opening was, not to examine the validity of the original Regulation for Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei, but rather to assess the impact of the Hubei judgments on the expiry review Regulation and the measures still in place on those other exporting producers.
V skladu s tem namen ponovnega začetka preiskave ni bil preučiti veljavnost prvotne uredbe za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike, razen za Hubei, pač pa oceniti učinek sodb Hubei na uredbo o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa in ukrepe, ki še vedno veljajo za ostale proizvajalce izvoznike.
Those effects are limited as the other Chinese exporting producers did not challenge the original Regulation.
Navedeni učinki so omejeni, saj drugi kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki niso izpodbijali prvotne uredbe.
It follows that, in this case, the expiry review Regulation remains valid in so far as it applies to Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei.
Iz tega sledi, da v tem primeru uredba o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa ostane veljavna v delu, ki se nanaša na kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike, razen za Hubei.
Development of the main injury indicators after the investigation period of the original investigation
Razvoj glavnih kazalnikov škode po obdobju prvotne preiskave
The Hubei judgments annulled the definitive duties insofar as Hubei was concerned on the basis that two factors laid down in Article 3(9) of the basic Regulation to determine a threat of injury (i.e. Chinese import volume and import prices) showed inconsistencies and that one factor (Chinese capacity and risk of re-direction of exports to the Union) was incomplete with respect of the relevant evidence to be taken into account.
S sodbama Hubei so bile razveljavljene dokončne dajatve, kolikor so se nanašale na družbo Hubei, in sicer na osnovi, da sta dva dejavnika iz člena 3(9) osnovne uredbe za določitev nevarnosti škode (tj. obseg kitajskega uvoza in uvozne cene) kazala neskladnosti in da je bil en dejavnik (kitajske zmogljivosti in tveganje preusmeritve izvoza na trg Unije) pomanjkljiv glede upoštevnih elementov.
Regarding the fourth factor laid down in Article 3(9) of the basic Regulation (inventories of the Union industry), the General Court stated that this factor was considered irrelevant by the Commission.
Glede četrtega dejavnika iz člena 3(9) osnovne uredbe (zaloge industrije Unije) je Splošno sodišče navedlo, da je Komisija ta dejavnik štela za nepomembnega.
The Commission considered it appropriate to look into more detail into the development of other main injury indicators in the period after the investigation period of the original investigation.
Komisija je menila, da je primerno, da natančneje preuči razvoj drugih glavnih kazalnikov škode v obdobju po obdobju prvotne preiskave.
The investigation period of the original investigation covered the period from 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008 (‘IP’).
Obdobje prvotne preiskave je zajemalo obdobje od 1. julija 2007 do 30. junija 2008 („OP“).
After the imposition of provisional measures in the original investigation, additional information was collected for the period covering 1 July 2008 to March 2009 (‘Post IP’).
Po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov v prvotni preiskavi so se zbrale dodatne informacije za obdobje od 1. julija 2008 do marca 2009 („obdobje po OP“).
The analysis was done with the purpose of determining whether the Union industry's situation showed a deterioration which could point to an injurious situation after the investigation period.
Analiza je bila izvedena z namenom določitve, ali se je položaj industrije Unije poslabšal, kar bi lahko kazalo na škodljiv položaj po obdobju preiskave.
In this regard, and for comparison purposes, the Commission also took into consideration the trends during the period relevant for the assessment of injury during the original investigation, i.e. the period from 2005 up to the end of the investigation period of that investigation (the ‘period considered’).
Komisija je v zvezi s tem in za primerjavo upoštevala tudi gibanja v obdobju, ki je pomembno za oceno škode v prvotni preiskavi, tj. v obdobju od leta 2005 do konca obdobja navedene preiskave („obravnavano obdobje“).
The indicators in question were Union consumption, production, production capacity, and capacity utilisation, sales volume and market share of the Union industry as well as sales prices of the Union industry and its profitability.
Kazalniki so bili potrošnja Unije, proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, obseg prodaje in tržni delež industrije Unije ter prodajne cene industrije Unije in njena dobičkonosnost.
While Union consumption increased during the period considered by 24 %, it decreased sharply afterwards from 3172866 tons in the investigation period (IP) to 1720968 tons in the period thereafter.
Medtem ko se je potrošnja Unije v obravnavanem obdobju povečala za 24 %, pa se je nato močno zmanjšala s 3172866 ton v obdobju preiskave („OP“) na 1720968 ton v obdobju po tem.
As explained in recital 51 of the original Regulation, the Union consumption contracted by almost 30 % in the post IP period.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 51 prvotne uredbe, se je potrošnja Unije zmanjšala za skoraj 30 % v obdobju po OP.

As shown in Table 2, production volume of the Union industry also showed a significant decrease in the post-IP, reflecting the contraction in consumption.
Kot je razvidno iz preglednice 2, se je obseg proizvodnje industrije Unije prav tako močno zmanjšal v obdobju po OP, kar odraža padec potrošnje.
Likewise, capacity decreased after the investigation period.
Prav tako se je po obdobju preiskave zmanjšala zmogljivost.
However, despite this decrease in capacity, due to the more significant decrease of production volume, the capacity utilisation dropped to a level of 77 % (as compared to 90 % during the IP).
Kljub temu zmanjšanju zmogljivosti pa je zaradi večjega zmanjšanja obsega proizvodnje izkoriščenost zmogljivosti padla na 77 % (v primerjavi z 90 % v OP).
In recital 53 of the original Regulation, it is noted that the capacity utilisation was only 60 % in March 2009.
V uvodni izjavi 53 prvotne uredbe je navedeno, da je bila izkoriščenost zmogljivosti marca 2009 samo 60 %.
Production (tons)
Proizvodnja (v tonah)

As shown in table 3, in line with the decrease in consumption sales volume of the Union industry on the Union market also dropped substantially, so that market share remained stable.
Kot je prikazano v preglednici 3, se je v skladu z zmanjšanjem potrošnje znatno zmanjšal tudi obseg prodaje industrije Unije na trgu Unije, tako da je tržni delež ostal stabilen.
To be noted, as shown in recital 52 of the original Regulation, Chinese exports managed to increase their import volume and keep stable market share in the Union during the same period and in a situation of a strongly declining market.
Opozoriti je treba, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 52 prvotne uredbe, da je kitajskemu izvozu v istem obdobju in ob močnem upadanju trga uspelo povečati svoj obseg uvoza in obdržati stabilen tržni delež v Uniji.
Sales volume (tons)
Obseg prodaje (v tonah)
Sales price and profitability
Prodajne cene in dobičkonosnost
Although sales prices increased during the period considered and continued to increase after that, the profitability dropped significantly.
Čeprav so prodajne cene v obravnavanem obdobju rasle in se je ta trend kasneje še nadaljeval, pa se je dobičkonosnost znatno zmanjšala.
Profitability already slightly decreased in the IP and reached very low levels thereafter.
Dobičkonosnost se je že v OP nekoliko zmanjšala in je pozneje dosegla zelo nizke ravni.
During the original investigation it was established that profitability even reached negative levels in the first quarter of 2009 (– 0,8 %).
Med prvotno preiskavo je bilo ugotovljeno, da je dobičkonosnost v prvem četrtletju leta 2009 dosegla celo negativne ravni (– 0,8 %).
This deterioration of profitability can at least partly be attributed to the significant loss of production and sales volume that had an impact on the capacity utilisation which decreased as well, and which had a negative impact on the average cost of production.
To zmanjšanje dobičkonosnosti je mogoče vsaj delno pripisati precejšnji izgubi obsega proizvodnje in prodaje, ki je vplivala na izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, ki se je prav tako zmanjšala, kar je negativno vplivalo na povprečne stroške proizvodnje.

In summary, all main injury indicators showed a significant downturn after the investigation period.
Na kratko, vsi glavni kazalniki škode so po obdobju preiskave kazali na znatno recesijo.
Production and sales volume dropped significantly with a negative impact on capacity utilisation.
Obseg proizvodnje in prodaje se je znatno zmanjšal, kar je negativno vplivalo na izkoriščenost zmogljivosti.
Market share remained stable, but which was due to the parallel contraction of the Union market.
Tržni delež je ostal stabilen, kar je bila posledica hkratnega krčenja trga Unije.
The increase in sales prices could not alter this downward development.
Ugotovitve pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa ob odsotnosti izvoza družbe Hubei
Therefore, it can be concluded that the Union injury was suffering injury in the period after the IP of the original investigation.
Komisija je ocenila tudi, ali bi ugotovitve pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa še vedno veljale, če se v oceni verjetnosti ponovitve nevarnosti škode ne bi upošteval izvoz družbe Hubei v Unijo.
The findings of the expiry review in the absence of Hubei's exports
V zvezi s tem je treba spomniti, da zato, ker družba Hubei ni sodelovala v preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom zaradi izteka ukrepa, Komisija ni prejela nobenih podatkov v zvezi z uvozom družbe v navedenem obdobju.
The Commission also assessed whether the findings of the expiry review would still hold true without Hubei's exports to the Union in the assessment of the likelihood of a recurrence of a threat of injury.
Posebni podatki o uvozu družbe Hubei niso bili na voljo niti v podatkovni zbirki iz člena 14(6).
In this regard, it is recalled that, because Hubei did not cooperate during the expiry review investigation, the Commission did not receive any data concerning its imports during that period.
Uvoz od družbe Hubei je potekal pod dodatno oznako TARIC A950, ki se je uporabljala za vse družbe, ki so sodelovale pri prvotni preiskavi, vendar niso prejele individualne stopnje dajatve.
Specific import data for Hubei's imports was also not available in the Article 14(6) database.
Komisiji so bili tako na voljo le zbirni podatki o uvozu za 16 kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov (vključno z družbo Hubei), pri čemer je bila vsem dodeljena dodatna oznaka TARIC A950.
Imports from Hubei were made under the TARIC additional code A950, which applied to all companies that cooperated during the original investigation but did not receive an individual duty rate.
Komisija teh zbirnih podatkov o uvozu ni mogla uporabiti za izluščenje podatkov o izvozu družbe Hubei.
Thus, only the aggregated import data for 16 Chinese exporting producers (including Hubei), all of which were attributed the TARIC additional code A950, was available to the Commission.
Komisija je zaradi nesodelovanja in ker ni imela na voljo statističnih podatkov o uvozu družbe Hubei, obseg uvoza družbe Hubei v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom ocenila na podlagi obsega uvoza družbe v obdobju prvotne preiskave.
The Commission could, therefore, not make use of this aggregated import data to distil therefrom Hubei's exports alone.
To informacijo je družba Hubei navedla v svojem odgovoru na vprašalnik v prvotni preiskavi, Komisija pa jo je preverila med preveritvenim obiskom v prostorih družbe Hubei, do katerega je prišlo oktobra 2008.
Accordingly, due to the non-cooperation and in the absence of statistics on Hubei's imports, the Commission estimated Hubei's import volume during the review investigation period on the basis of its import volume during the original investigation.
Naj spomnimo, da je v obdobju prvotne preiskave uvoz družbe Hubei znašal približno [8–13 %] celotnega kitajskega uvoza.
This information was reported by Hubei in its reply to the questionnaire in the original investigation and was verified by the Commission during the on-spot verification visit that occurred at Hubei's premises in October 2008.
Ker družba Hubei v pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa ni sodelovala, je Komisija zato sklepala, da je odstotek celotnega kitajskega uvoza ostal nespremenjen.
To recall, during the original investigation period, imports from Hubei accounted for around [8-13 %] of all Chinese imports.
Iz uredbe o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa izhaja, da je celotni uvoz iz Kitajske v Unijo v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom znašal 67977 ton.
The Commission, accordingly, assumed that this percentage of the total of Chinese imports remained unchanged in the absence of cooperation from Hubei during the expiry review investigation.
Če se ta delež celotnega uvoza družbe Hubei iz LRK (tj. [8–13 %] celotnega uvoza) prenese tudi na ugotovitve iz uredbe o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa, izračun pokaže, da je uvoz družbe Hubei znašal [6000–7500] ton od 67977 ton, zabeleženih v uredbi o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa.
According to the expiry review Regulation, total imports from China into the Union during the review investigation period were 67977 tonnes.
Glede na to, da se približno [87–92 %] uvoza pripisuje kitajskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, brez družbe Hubei, in da člen 3(9) osnovne uredbe zahteva celovito presojo teh kazalnikov, je Komisija ugotovila, da izključitev uvoza družbe Hubei iz celotnega kitajskega uvoza v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom ne bi omajala kvalitativne ocene Komisije iz uredbe o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa.
On this basis, and transposing that same percentage of Hubei in the total imports from the PRC (that is to say [8-13 %] of total imports) also to the findings in the expiry review Regulation, Hubei's imports were calculated to be [6000 to 7500] tonnes out of the 67977 tonnes recorded in the expiry review Regulation.
Ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav 105 do 109 uredbe o pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa so se zato potrdile in se lahko ohranijo brez sprememb, tudi če ne vsebujejo uvoza družbe Hubei.
Given that around [87-92 %] of imports were calculated to be from Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei, and given that Article 3(9) of the basic Regulation requires a global assessment of these indicators, the Commission concluded that the exclusion of Hubei's imports from the total Chinese imports during the review investigation period would not call into question the qualitative assessment of the Commission contained in the expiry review Regulation.
Vpliv razveljavitve ukrepov na industrijo Unije
The findings set out in recitals 105 to 109 of the expiry review Regulation were, therefore, confirmed and can be retained without changes thereto, even in the absence of imports deriving from Hubei.
Komisija je nato ocenila vpliv razveljavitve ukrepov proti Kitajski z učinki erga omnes na položaj industrije Unije.
Impact of a repeal of measures on the Union industry
Tu je treba opozoriti, da so bili upoštevni gospodarski podatki zbrani med pregledom zaradi izteka ukrepa iz uvodne izjave 2.
The Commission, subsequently, assessed the impact of the repeal of the measures against China erga omnes on the situation of the Union industry.
Te ugotovitve so temeljile na dejstvih in dokazih, zbranih v poznejšem obdobju (od julija 2013 do junija 2014), medtem ko so ugotovitve iz prvotne preiskave temeljile na dokazih, zbranih za obdobje od julija 2007 do junija 2008.
