However, the significant majority of purchases of domestically grown soybeans were also delivered to domestic crushing plants.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da se bo ugodnost zagotavljala tudi po obdobju preiskave v skladu z drugim stavkom člena 15(1) osnovne uredbe.
Imports of soybeans represented a significant volume of the sampled exporting producers' purchases, namely 4,6 %.
Argentinska vlada in zbornica CARBIO sta po razkritju informativnega dokumenta trdili, da referenčno merilo uvožene soje ne odraža tržnih pogojev v Argentini.
Those purchases were spread over hundreds of transactions.
Trditev argentinske vlade, da uvozna cena odraža alternativno tržno referenčno merilo, kaže nepravilno razlago dejstev.
Although the sampled exporting producers had different suppliers from several neighbouring countries, the import price was found to be on average at the same level, as described in recital (223).
Dejansko je Komisija kot referenčno merilo uporabila uvozno ceno soje, ki so jo dejansko plačali vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki.
Therefore, the Commission considered that the actual prices paid by the sampled exporting producers for imported soybeans are considered to reflect undistorted market conditions in Argentina, including the generally applicable delivery charges included in the final price.
Komisija je to ceno štela za ustrezno referenčno merilo, ker je odražala tržne pogoje v Argentini, na katere niso vplivali ukrepi argentinske vlade (kot je bilo preverjeno pri primerjavi teh uvoznih cen z mednarodnimi cenami).
At the same time there are no differences in quality between the different soybeans available that would render the imported soybeans not usable for producing biodiesel.
Priznala je, da bi bilo treba pri referenčnem merilu upoštevati morebitno primerjalno prednost prevladujoče države.
Consequently the Commission considered that those purchases constitute an appropriate benchmark.
Vendar niti argentinska vlada niti zbornica CARBIO nista utemeljili trditve, da izbrano referenčno merilo v državi ne odraža tržnih razmer, ki prevladujejo v Argentini, in nista zagotovili dokazov zanjo.
On that basis, the Commission used the actual price at which the sampled exporting producers imported soybeans into Argentina, which all came from neighbouring countries, as the closest possible proxy for undistorted Argentinian domestic prices for these products.
Po dokončnem razkritju se argentinska vlada in zbornica CARBIO nista strinjali, da je cena, ki je bila plačana za uvoženo sojo, predstavljala ustrezno referenčno merilo, saj ni odražala tržnih pogojev v Argentini.
Indeed, those prices were at the same level as world market prices and were at an average price of 6043 ARS/MT during the investigation period.
Komisija je v uvodnih izjavah 220, 232 in 233 podrobno pojasnila, zakaj je menila, da je uvožena soja reprezentativna in kupljena na podlagi prevladujočih tržnih pogojev v Argentini.
The Commission then compared the price paid for domestically grown soybeans by the Argentinian producers with the weighted average actual import price for soybeans on a month-by-month basis.
Ker argentinska vlada ali zbornica CARBIO nista predložili nobenih dokazil za svoje nestrinjanje s to ugotovitvijo, je Komisija trditev zavrnila.
These imports were all done under a temporary importation regime and were therefore not subject to import duties and the actual price paid by the sampled exporting producers is considered to be adequate in the prevailing market terms and conditions in Argentina.
Vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki so po razkritju informativnega dokumenta trdili, da je referenčna cena, ki temelji na ceni enakega primarnega proizvoda v popolnoma drugačni regiji, nezanesljiva.
The total amount of the difference represents the ‘savings’ obtained by the Argentinian producers of biodiesel which purchase soybeans in the Argentinian distorted market compared to the price which they would have paid in the absence of distortions.
Komisija je ugotovila, da so vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki sojo uvažali samo iz sosednjih držav.
Ultimately, this total amount represents the benefit conferred on the Argentinian producers by the GOA during the investigation period.
Zato so bili ti podatki najboljše merilo za neizkrivljeno ceno v Argentini brez podpore argentinske vlade, razen tega so bili najbolj zanesljivi.
In accordance with Article 7(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission allocated those subsidy amounts over the total turnover of the soybean-based production of the sampled exporting producers during the investigation period as appropriate denominator, because the subsidy granted a benefit to the entire production of soybean-based products and not only to the product concerned or the production destined to exports.
Zbornica CARBIO je po razkritju informativnega dokumenta nadalje trdila, da zaradi znižanja izvoznega davka na sojo s 30 % na 18 % ugodnost ne obstaja več.
For the period after the investigation period, the GOA adopted Decree 1343/2016 which sets the rate of the export tax on soybeans and soybean oil.
Komisija je ugotovila, da je razumevanje stopnje izvoznega davka s strani zbornice CARBIO napačno.
The rate will be reduced as from 1 January 2018 until 31 December 2019 every month by 0,5 %.
Z Odlokom št. 793/2018 je bila stopnja izvoznega davka določena na 18 %, vendar je bil uveden tudi dodatni 12-odstotni izvozni davek z omejitvijo 4 ARS na USD izvoza.
As a result, the export tax for soybeans will be reduced to 18 % at the end of 2019.
Dejansko to pomeni, da je bil izvozni davek določen na približno 28 % v primerjavi s 30 % v obdobju preiskave.
On 3 September 2018 the GOA adopted Decree 793/2018, setting the rate of the export tax on soybeans at 18 % from that day on, but implementing an additional export tax of ARS 4 per exported USD, whereby the tax is calculated on the FOB value of the exported soybeans expressed in USD.
Komisija je ugotovila, da je do spremembe prišlo po obdobju preiskave o subvencioniranju.
This shows that the GOA can at any time decide to change the level of the export tax.
V skladu s členom 11(1) osnovne uredbe se informacije, ki se nanašajo na obdobje, ki sledi obdobju preiskave, navadno ne upoštevajo.
Events after the Commission's decision not to impose provisional measures in September 2018 further confirm that the GOA is entitled to adjust the export tax system regularly.
Zbornica CARBIO ni navedla utemeljenih razlogov, zakaj bi bilo te informacije treba upoštevati.
In particular, the 12 % cap on the overall export tax introduced by Decree in September was already increased to 33 % in the law adopting the budget for 2019, and such a cap can remain in place until the end of 2020.
Poleg tega zbornica CARBIO ni predložila dokazov za svojo trditev, da trditve o subvenciji ali ugodnosti zaradi obstoja izvoznega davka na sojo niso več utemeljene.
The Commission therefore concludes that a benefit will remain to be conferred after the investigation period in accordance with Article 15(1) second sentence of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je sklenila, da rahlo znižanje izvoznega davka na sojo za približno 2 % ni dokazalo, da subvencije ne zagotavljajo več ugodnosti zadevnim izvoznikom.
Following disclosure of the information document, the GOA and CARBIO claimed that the benchmark of imported soybeans does not reflect market conditions in Argentina.
Komisija je menila, da bi bilo treba morebitni vpliv dodatnega znižanja ali odprave izvoznega davka na sojo proučiti v okviru pregleda in ne v sedanji preiskavi.
The GOA's argument that the import price reflects an alternative market benchmark shows an incorrect interpretation of the facts.
Zbornica CARBIO je nadalje trdila, da bi se vsaka domnevna ugodnost, zagotovljena argentinskim proizvajalcem z zvišanjem davka na sojo, izravnala z zvišanjem neposrednega izvoznega davka na biodizel in bi jo bilo treba zato v skladu s členom 7(1)(b) osnovne uredbe odšteti od zneska izračunane celotne subvencije.
In fact, the Commission used as a benchmark the import price of soybeans actually paid by the sampled exporting producers.
Zbornica CARBIO ni utemeljila trditve, da je bil izvozni davek na biodizel, ki se je izvažal v Unijo, posebej namenjen za izravnavo subvencije, kot je navedeno v členu 7(1)(b) osnovne uredbe.
The Commission considered this price an appropriate benchmark for the specific reason that this price reflected the market conditions in Argentina unaffected by the GOA's measures (as verified when comparing those import prices with international prices).
Poleg tega ni uspela pojasniti, kako dejanski izvozni davek na biodizel izravnava podporo, zagotovljeno z ukrepi argentinske vlade, vključno z izvoznim davkom na sojo.
The Commission considered the CIF import price adequate, as this reflected the price at the crushing plant, located at the port.
Komisija je zato to trditev zavrnila.
The Commission acknowledged that the benchmark should respect any comparative advantage of the prevailing country.
Zbornica CARBIO je posebej predložila dodatne pripombe v zvezi s spremembami sistema izvoznih davkov po koncu obdobja preiskave, vključno s povečanjem izvoznega davka na biodizel, in spremembami izvoznega davka na sojo.
However, neither the GOA nor CARBIO substantiate or give any evidence to support the allegation that the chosen in-country benchmark does not reflect the market conditions prevailing in Argentina.
Komisija je zavrnila trditev, da so te spremembe kakor koli spremenile zaključke Komisije.
Following final disclosure, the GOA and CARBIO disagreed that the price paid for imported soybeans constituted an appropriate benchmark since it did not reflect the market conditions in Argentina.
Prvič, izvozni davek na biodizel, uveden po koncu obdobja preiskave, nima očitnega učinka na obseg ugodnosti, ki so jih deležni proizvajalci biodizla in temeljijo na zagotavljanju soje za plačilo, nižje od primernega.
The Commission explained extensively in recitals (220) and (232) to (233) why it considered the imported soybeans both representative and purchased on the basis of the prevailing market conditions in Argentina.
Drugič, še vedno obstaja izvozni davek na sojo in predložen ni bil noben dokaz, da se je po obdobju preiskave cena soje v Argentini povečala, s čimer bi se obseg ugdnosti teoretično zmanjšal.
As the GOA or CARBIO did not provide any supporting evidence for their disagreement with this conclusion, the Commission rejected the claim.
Po dokončnem razkritju je argentinska vlada poudarila, da člen 81 zakona o proračunu „omejitve skupnega izvoznega davka, uvedenega v septembru z Odlokom št. 783/2018“, ne povečuje na 33 %, ker je bila s členom 83 določena omejitev stopnje izvoznega davka na 30 % obdavčljive vrednosti ali uradne cene FOB.
Following the disclosure of the information document, the sampled exporting producers claimed that a benchmark price that is based on the price of the same commodity in a completely different region is unreliable.
Čeprav bi bil izvozni davek omejen na 30 %, bi bila ugotovitev Komisije, da se bo ugodnost zagotavljala tudi po obdobju preiskave v skladu z drugim stavkom člena 15(1) osnovne uredbe, še vedno točna.
The Commission noted that the sampled exporting producers only imported soybeans from neighbouring countries.
Vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki so po razkritju informativnega dokumenta predložili pripombe v zvezi z izračunom ugodnosti, zagotovljene z dobavo soje za plačilo, nižje od primernega.
Therefore, that data was the closest proxy to the undistorted price in Argentina absent the GOA's support and the most reliable.
Te pripombe so bile specifične za posamezno družbo in so se v glavnem nanašale na tiskarske napake ali nadaljnje zahtevke za prilagoditev.
Following the disclosure of the information document, CARBIO further claimed that because the export tax on soybeans has been reduced from 30 % to 18 % there is no longer a benefit.
Kjer je bila ugotovljena tiskarska napaka, je bila popravljena, na primer vključitev transakcij z ničelno količino za zagotovitev, da je bila cena na kupljeni kilogram prava.
The Commission noted that CARBIO's understanding of the level of the export tax is incorrect.
Vendar če je družba zahtevala, da se podatki, ki so bili preverjeni, spremenijo po preverjanjih na kraju samem, je bila taka zahteva zavrnjena, saj Komisija točnosti novih nepreverjenih podatkov ni mogla potrditi.
Decree 793/2018 set the level of the export at 18 % but also implemented an additional export tax of 12 %, with a cap of 4 ARS per USD exported.
Po dokončnem razkritju sta dva proizvajalca izvoznika, ki sta zahtevala, da se preverjeni podatki znova spremenijo, ponovila isto trditev, ki je bila ponovno zavrnjena iz istih razlogov kot prej.
Effectively, this means that the export tax was set at around 28 %, compared to 30 % during the investigation period.
Zbornica CARBIO je na zaslišanju po razkritju informativnega dokumenta trdila, da bi morala Komisija pri izračunu ugodnosti zanemariti tiste nakupe soje, ki so jih izvedle povezane družbe, da bi lahko izračunala nakupno ceno v Argentini.
The Commission observed that that change took place after the investigation period for subsidisation.
Komisija je ugotovila, da so nakupe soje v Argentini s strani proizvajalcev izvoznikov v obdobju preiskave izvedli povezani in tudi nepovezani dobavitelji ter da so bile cene enake.
Under Article 11(1) of the basic Regulation, information relating to a period subsequent to the investigation period is not, normally, to be taken into account.
To jasno kaže, da so bili nakupi s strani povezanih dobaviteljev opravljeni pod običajnimi tržnimi pogoji.
CARBIO did not provide any compelling reasons why this information should be taken into account.
Zato Komisija ni videla razloga, da ne bi uporabila teh transakcij za izračun ugodnosti za proizvajalca biodizla, ki je bila izračunana na podlagi mesečnih povprečij na kilogram kupljene soje.
Furthermore, CARBIO did not provide any evidence for its claim that any allegation of subsidy or benefit due to the existence of the export tax on soybeans is no longer warranted.
Zato je bila ta trditev zavrnjena.
The Commission concluded that a slight decrease of around 2 % on the export tax of soybeans did not demonstrate that the subsidies no longer confer any benefit on the exporters involved.
Specifičnost
The Commission considered that any effect of a further reduction or suppression of the export tax on soybeans should be examined in the context of a review, as opposed to the current investigation.
Sklop ukrepov argentinske vlade je bil namenjen zagotavljanju ugodnosti nekaterim industrijam, vključno z domačo industrijo biodizla.
CARBIO furthermore claimed that any alleged benefit conferred to the Argentinian producers by the increase in the tax on soybeans would be offset by the increase in the direct export tax on biodiesel and should therefore, following Article 7(1)(b) of the basic Regulation, be deducted from the amount of the total subsidy calculated.
Čeprav izkrivljanja na trgu soje zagotavljajo ugodnosti tudi za izdelke na koncu proizvodne verige, ne le za biodizel, je ugodnost dejansko na voljo le za nekatere industrije v Argentini, in sicer tiste v vrednostni verigi soje.
CARBIO did not provide any justification that the export tax levied on the biodiesel that was exported to the Union was specifically intended to offset the subsidy, as stated in Article 7(1)(b) of the basic Regulation.
Poleg tega so navedeni ukrepi omejeni na skupino podjetij ali industrij, čeprav je podpora argentinske vlade, ki je na podlagi več ukrepov dodeljena za biodizel, dodeljena tudi za druga biogoriva.
CARBIO also failed to show how the actual export tax on biodiesel offsets the support conferred by the GOA's measures, including through the export tax on soybeans.
Zato so specifični v skladu s členom 4(2)(a) osnovne uredbe.
Therefore, the Commission rejected that claim.
Zbornica CARBIO je po razkritju informativnega dokumenta trdila, da ukrepi niso omejeni na industrijo biodizla in zato niso specifični.
CARBIO specifically made further comments regarding the changes to the export tax system after the end of the investigation period, including the increase of export tax on biodiesel, and the changes to the export tax on soybeans.
Zbornica CARBIO je to trditev ponovila po dokončnem razkritju, ne da bi predložila nove dokaze.
The Commission rejected the assertion that these changes made any difference to the Commission's conclusions.
Komisija je menila, da posebne značilnosti zagotovljenega blaga, tj. soje, omejujejo njegovo možno uporabo na samo nekatera podjetja.
Firstly the export tax on biodiesel imposed after the end of the investigation period has had no obvious effect on the amount of the benefit provided to the biodiesel producers based on the provision of soybeans for less than adequate remuneration.
Zato je Komisija zavrnila trditev zbornice CARBIO, da subvencija ni specifična za industrijo biodizla.
Secondly there is still an export tax on soybeans, and no evidence has been provided that after the investigation period the price of soybeans in Argentina has increased, thereby theoretically lowering the benefit amount.
Komisija je ugotovila, da je argentinska vlada s sklopom ukrepov zagotavljala podporo industriji biodizla, tudi z zagotavljanjem soje za plačilo, nižje od primernega.
Following final disclosure, the GOA stressed that Article 81 of the Budget Law does not increase to 33 % any ‘cap on the overall export tax introduced by Decree 783/2018 in September’, as Article 83 established a limit of the export tax rate to 30 % of the taxable value or the official FOB price.
Argentinska vlada je prejemnikom zagotovila ugodnost, ki je specifična, zato pomeni subvencijo, proti kateri se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi.
Even if the export tax was limited to 30 %, the Commission's conclusion that a benefit will remain to be conferred after the investigation period, in accordance with Article 15(1) second sentence of the basic Regulation, still stands.
Zbornica CARBIO je po razkritju informativnega dokumenta trdila, da se je Komisija za oblikovanje zaključka o finančnem prispevku in/ali dohodkovni in cenovni podpori opirala le na izvozni davek na sojo.
Following the disclosure of the information document, the sampled exporting producers submitted comments regarding the calculation of the benefit provided by the supply of soybeans for less than adequate remuneration.
Komisija je od začetka te preiskave ugotovila, da je argentinska vlada uporabljala tudi druga orodja (poleg izvoznega davka na sojo), ki bodo preiskana v okviru podpore argentinske vlade industriji biodizla.
These comments were company specific and mainly referred to clerical errors or further claims for adjustment.
Kot je bilo že pojasnjeno, je Komisija izvozni davek štela za enega od instrumentov za zagotavljanje soje za plačilo, nižje od primernega, na argentinskem domačem trgu, kar pomeni subvencijo, proti kateri se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi.
Where a clerical error was found the error was corrected, for example the inclusion of zero-quantity transactions to ensure that the price per kg purchased was correct.
Drugi ukrepi argentinske vlade kažejo, da je argentinska vlada pridelovalcem soje dala navodila, naj prodajajo sojo industriji biodizla po umetno nizki ceni, zato je imela argentinska vlada jasen namen podpreti domačo industrijo biodizla.
However, where a company requested that data that had been verified be changed after their verifications on spot, such a request was denied since the Commission was not in a position to confirm the accuracy of the new unverified data.
Čeprav je Komisija ugotovila, da nekatere od drugih domnevnih subvencij iz pritožbe v obdobju preiskave niso pomenile subvencij, proti katerim se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi (zlasti sporazum o dobavi biodizla ali nekatere davčne oprostitve), so bile sestavni del sklopa ukrepov za podporo industrije biodizla in so okrepile obstoj dohodkovne/cenovne podpore za industrijo biodizla.
Following final disclosure the two exporting producers who had requested that verified data be changed again made the same claim, and this was again rejected for the same reasons as before.
Povedano drugače, dejstvo, da ni bilo ugotovljeno, da so vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki v obdobju preiskave uporabljali nekatere subvencije, ne zanika obstoja sklopa ukrepov argentinske vlade za podporo domači industriji biodizla.
At a hearing following the disclosure of the information document, CARBIO claimed that for calculating the benefit the Commission should reject those purchases of soybeans made from related companies for calculating the purchase price in Argentina.
Komisija je proučila vse dokaze, ki so bili na voljo v tej preiskavi, da bi podprla svoje ugotovitve.
The Commission noted that the purchases of soybeans in Argentina made by the exporting producers during the investigation period were made from both related and unrelated suppliers, and the prices were the same.
Kot je priznal pritožbeni organ v zadevi ZDA – Preiskava o izravnalni dajatvi za DRAMS, „iz posameznih posrednih dokazov verjetno ne bo razvidno pooblastilo ali navodilo; pomembnost posameznih dokazov lahko postane jasna šele, če se obravnavajo skupaj z drugimi dokazi“.
This is a clear indication that the purchases from related suppliers were made at arm's length.
Zato je Komisija ocenila ne le izvozni davek na sojo, ampak tudi sklop ukrepov argentinske vlade za podporo industriji biodizla, pri čemer je v tem postopku združila vse neposredne in posredne dokaze ter tako ugotovila, da so na podlagi vseh dokazov obstajali pooblastilo ali navodilo, dano zasebnim organom in/ali dohodkovna/cenovna podpora.
The Commission therefore saw no reason not to use these transactions to calculate the benefit to the biodiesel producer, which was calculated on the basis of monthly averages per kilo of soybeans purchased.
Izračun zneska subvencije
Consequently, this claim was rejected.
Raven subvencije, določena v zvezi s tem sklopom ukrepov v obdobju preiskave za vzorčene proizvajalce izvoznike, znaša:
Specificity
Preglednica 3
The GOA's set of measures were directed to benefit certain industries, including the domestic biodiesel industry.
Podpora argentinske vlade za industrijo biodizla
Indeed, even though the distortions on soybeans also benefit downstream products other than biodiesel, the benefit is available only to certain industries in Argentina, being those in the soya value chain.
Družba/skupina
Moreover, even if the GOA's support granted to biodiesel through several measures is also granted to other biofuels, those measures are limited to a group of enterprises or industries.
Stopnja subvencije
They are, therefore, specific under Article 4(2)(a) of the basic Regulation.
Vladni nakup domačega biodizla za plačilo, višje od primernega, in/ali dohodkovna ali cenovna podpora (sporazum o dobavi biodizla)
Following the disclosure of the information document, CARBIO claimed that the measures are not limited to the biodiesel industry and therefore not specific.
Uvod
CARBIO repeated this claim after final disclosure without providing any new evidence.
Pritožnik trdi, da je argentinska vlada sklenila sporazume o dobavi biodizla (v nadaljnjem besedilu: sporazumi) s proizvajalci biodizla v Argentini v skladu s poglavjem II zakona o biogorivih iz leta 2006 (Zakon št. 26.093 iz leta 2006).
The Commission considered that the inherent characteristics of the good provided, soybeans, limits its possible use to certain enterprises only.
Ti sporazumi so bili namenjeni zagotavljanju biodizla za domači trg glede na obveznost mešanja goriv, ki se je uporabljala v obdobju od leta 2010.
Therefore, the Commission rejected CARBIO's claim that the subsidy is not specific to the biodiesel industry.
V skladu s to obveznostjo morajo družbe, ki mešajo goriva, kupovati biodizel in ga pred prodajo zmešati z mineralnim dizlom.
The Commission found that through a set of measures the GOA provided support to the biodiesel industry including through the provision of soybean for less than adequate remuneration.
Argentinska vlada je določila individualne in skupne kvote za oskrbo domačega trga z biodizlom, pritožnik pa trdi, da so med podpisniki sporazumov vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki, kot so LDC, Vicentin in Renova.
