The Commission notes that regarding ACO publicly available information indicated that the price pressure and competition from the PRC was one of the reasons to close the Union foundry.
CCCME je trdila, da bi morala Komisija ločiti škodljivi učinek upada potrošnje od domnevno škodljivih učinkov uvoza iz LRK in razlikovati med njimi, saj je jasno, da ob upoštevanju razvoja obsega prodaje in proizvodnje industrije Unije tega upada ni mogoče pripisati uvozu iz LRK.
Regarding the other closures FCI did not give any conclusive evidence on the reasons for closure.
Poleg tega je CCCME trdila, da glede na to, da povečanje uvoza iz LRK ne sovpada z zmanjšanjem obsega prodaje industrije Unije, dejanske podlage za domnevo Komisije, da zmanjševanje povpraševanja ne more prekiniti vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, ker je povečanje uvoza iz LRK večje od zmanjšanja potrošnje in prodaje industrije Unije, ni.
In any event, it is not these closures which drove the sampled Union producers' sales prices and profitability downwards as they reflect a loss in competition on the intra-Union market.
Komisija ugotavlja, da v nasprotju s trditvami CCCME povečanje uvoza iz LRK sovpada z zmanjšanjem obsega prodaje industrije Unije, če se upošteva celotno obdobje za oceno škode.
The Commission therefore rejects this submission and stays of the opinion that these closures coincided with the injury suffered by the Union and therefore do not break the causal link between the Chinese dumped imports and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Komisija zato to trditev zavrača in potrjuje svoje sklepe iz uvodnih izjav 189 do 191 začasne uredbe.
The CCCME claimed that the Commission should have separated and distinguished the injurious effect of the drop in consumption from the allegedly injurious effects of the imports from the PRC as it is clear that when considering the evolution of sales and production volumes of the Union industry this drop cannot be attributed to imports from the PRC.
Segmentacija na trgu Unije
Furthermore, the CCCME claimed that as the increase in imports from the PRC does not coincide with the decreasing sales volume of the Union industry, there is no factual basis for the Commission's allegation that since the increase in imports from the PRC is higher than the decrease in consumption and sales of the Union industry the contraction in demand cannot break the causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
FCI je trdilo, da nacionalni standardi in različne zahteve na ravni držav članic povzročajo segmentacijo Unije na različne nacionalne trge za izdelke iz litega železa.
The Commission notes that contrary to what the CCCME claimed the increase in imports from the PRC does coincide with the decreasing sales volume of the Union industry when the whole period for the assessment of injury is considered.
Komisija je ugotovila, da lahko proizvajalci Unije in proizvajalci izvozniki ne glede na obstoj nacionalnih standardov za različne vrste izdelka izpolnijo te nacionalne zahteve v zvezi s potrjevanjem izdelkov.
The Commission therefore rejects this claim and confirms its conclusions set out in recitals (189) to (191) of the provisional Regulation.
Zato je bila ta trditev zavrnjena.
Segmentation in the Union market
Tehnični razvoj izdelka v preiskavi
FCI submitted that national standards and different requirements at Member States level segment the Union in various national markets for cast iron articles.
FCI je trdilo tudi, da se je teža izdelkov, ki se prodajajo, zmanjšala in da zato enak obseg proizvodnje v tonah ustreza večjemu številu prodanih izdelkov.
The Commission noted that notwithstanding the existence of national standards for different product types, Union producers and exporting producers alike can fulfil these national requirements related to product certification.
Po trditvah FCI bi bilo treba odsotnost zvišanja dobička in povečanja tržnega deleža pripisati strukturni spremembi tehnologije in proizvodnih procesov, namesto konkurenci z izdelki, proizvedenimi v LRK.
Therefore, this claim was rejected.
Komisija ugotavlja, da na podlagi podatkov vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije ni mogla ugotoviti znatnega zmanjšanja teže v obravnavanem obdobju.
Technical evolution of the product under investigation
Trditev se zato zavrne.
FCI further submitted that the weight of the items sold has decreased and therefore an equivalent production volume in tonnes reveals an increased number of items sold.
Po končnem razkritju je FCI trdilo, da se je teža izdelkov iz litega železa na splošno zmanjšala.
According to FCI, a lack of increase in profits and market share should be attributed to a structural change in technology and production processes rather than to the competition with products manufactured in the PRC.
Dejstvo, da je bil obseg proizvodnje v Uniji v obdobju preiskave enak prevladujočemu stanju leta 2013 (96 %), kaže, da se je število izdelkov, ki jih je prodala industrija Unije, zagotovo povečalo.
The Commission notes that based on the sampled Union producers' data, it could not establish any significant weight decrease during the period considered.
Zato bi bilo treba morebitno škodo pripisati strukturni spremembi tehnologije in proizvodnih procesov, namesto konkurenci z izdelki, proizvedenimi v LRK.
The claim is therefore rejected.
Komisija je od vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije zahtevala vse podatke o proizvedenih tonah in tudi proizvedenih kosih.
Following final disclosure, FCI alleged that there has been a general reduction in the weight of cast iron articles.
Ti preverjeni podatki niso pokazali znatnega zmanjšanja teže podobnega izdelka.
The fact that production volumes in the Union during the investigation period were equivalent to the situation prevailing in 2013 (96 %) reveals that the Union industry has necessarily increased the number of items sold.
Komisija se zato ni strinjala s trditvijo FCI, da se je število izdelkov, ki jih je prodala industrija Unije, zagotovo povečalo.
Any injury should therefore be attributed to a structural change in technology and production processes rather than to the competition with products manufactured in the PRC.
Sklep o vzročni zvezi
The Commission had requested the sampled Union producers not only all data in tonnes produced, but also in pieces produced.
CCCME je trdila, da je industriji Unije kljub domnevnemu nelojalnemu nižanju prodajnih cen v obdobju preiskave uspelo ohraniti svoj tržni delež, kar je težko uskladiti z ugotovitvijo vzročne zveze.
This verified data did not shown any significant decrease in weight of the like product.
Komisija je ugotovila, da je industrija Unije v obravnavanem obdobju izgubila tržni delež, medtem ko se je tržni delež uvoza iz LRK precej povečal.
Therefore the Commission did not agree with the FCI in its claim that the Union industry had necessarily increased the number of items sold.
Poleg tega je ugotovila znatno nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen.
Conclusion on causation
Zato je to trditev zavrnila.
The CCCME claimed that despite alleged price undercutting in the investigation period the Union industry was able to keep its market share which is difficult to reconcile with a finding of a causal link.
Po končnem razkritju je CCCME ponovila trditev, da uvoz iz LRK in domnevna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, časovno nista sovpadala.
The Commission noted that the Union industry lost market share over the period considered whereas the market share of imports from the PRC increased considerably.
CCCME je navedla, da podatki kažejo, da zadevni kazalniki škode časovno sovpadajo z razvojem potrošnje, za kar je trdila, da se zdi, da je dejanski vzrok za morebitno domnevno škodo.
It also found significant undercutting.
Poleg tega je trdila, da je to vplivalo na druge kazalnike škode, kot je dobičkonosnost.
It therefore rejected this claim.
CCCME je nazadnje trdila, da bi morala Komisija pri svoji analizi škode in vzročne zveze upoštevati trende v zvezi z uvozom v obravnavanem obdobju, namesto da je le primerjala končne točke v skladu z mnenjem pritožbenega organa.
Following final disclosure, the CCCME reiterated its claim that there is no coincidence in time between imports from the PRC and the alleged injury suffered by the Union industry.
V nasprotju s poročilom pritožbenega organa, ki ni vsebovalo analize trendov, ampak le primerjavo med začetno in končno točko obravnavanega obdobja, je Komisija v zadevnem primeru opravila temeljito analizo prevladujočih trendov v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju, tudi med vsakim posameznim letom navedenega obdobja.
The CCCME pointed out that the data showed that there is a coincidence in time between the injury indicators in question and the consumption evolution, which it claimed appeared to be the actual cause of any alleged injury.
Na podlagi tega je Komisija ugotovila, da sta uvoz iz LRK in škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, na podlagi navedenega poročila časovno sovpadala.
It further claimed that this in turn has had an impact on other injury indicators such as profitability.
Po objavi začasne uredbe je CCCME prvič med preiskavo trdila, da si je industrija Unije morda sama povzročila škodo, ki jo je utrpela, saj je več proizvajalcev Unije začelo svojo prodajo podobnega izdelka nadomeščati s prodajo sestavljenih izdelkov, ki jih prav tako proizvajajo, ter da bi bilo treba upoštevati konkurenco zaradi teh izdelkov, saj bi lahko prekinila domnevno vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in škodo, ki jo je domnevno utrpela industrija Unije.
The CCCME finally claimed that in its injury and causation analyses the Commission should have considered the trends in imports over the period considered rather than just comparing the end points as held by the Appellate Body.
Komisija je to trditev zavrnila, saj je CCCME razen zgolj z brošuro izdelkov enega od proizvajalcev Unije ni utemeljila s prepričljivimi dokazi.
By contrast to the Appellate Body Report, where no analysis of the trends were made but only a comparison between the starting and the end point of the period considered, in the case at hand the Commission carried out a thorough analysis of the prevailing trends taking place during the entire period considered, including between each and every year of that period.
Predvsem pa ugotovitve Komisije temeljijo na podatkih v zvezi z izdelkom v preiskavi.
On that basis, the Commission found a coincidence in time between imports from the PRC and the injury suffered by the Union industry on the basis of that period.
Po končnem razkritju so pritožniki ponovili, da je prodaja sestavljenih izdelkov minimalna in predstavlja manj kot 1 % njihovega poslovanja.
Following the publication of the provisional Regulation, the CCCME claimed for the first time during the investigation that the injury suffered by the Union industry might have been self-inflicted as several Union producers started replacing their own sales of the like product by sales of composite products, which they also produce, and suggested that competition by these products should have been taken into account, as it was able to break the alleged causal link between dumped imports from the PRC and the injury allegedly suffered by the Union industry.
Trditve so bile zato zavrnjene.
The Commission rejected this claim as the CCCME, apart from a mere product brochure from one of the Union producers, did not substantiate it with any conclusive evidence.
Ker drugih pripomb ni bilo, je Komisija potrdila svoje sklepe iz uvodnih izjav 202 do 205 začasne uredbe.
Most importantly, the Commission's findings are based on the data related to the product under investigation.
INTERES UNIJE
Following final disclosure, the complainants further reiterated that sales of composite products are minimal and represent less than 1 % of their business.
Interes industrije Unije
The claims were therefore rejected.
FCI je trdilo, da uvoz iz LRK v obravnavanem obdobju ni povzročil znižanja domačih cen industrije Unije za izdelek v preiskavi, saj so se kitajske cene v obravnavanem obdobju močno zvišale, povprečne prodajne cene industrije Unije pa so se v obravnavanem obdobju postopoma zniževale, ta trend pa je sledil splošnemu znižanju proizvodnih stroškov na enoto, kar je bilo v interesu industrije Unije.
In the absence of any further comments the Commission confirmed its conclusions set out in recitals (202) to (205) of the provisional Regulation.
Komisija je to trditev zavrnila, saj je uvoz iz LRK povzročil znatno nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen industrije Unije, tudi po zvišanju cen v obravnavanem obdobju, in zato nižal cene v Uniji.
UNION INTEREST
To podpira dejstvo, da so se prodajne cene industrije Unije bolj znižale kot proizvodni stroški na enoto.
Interest of the Union industry
Zato je v interesu industrije Unije, da zaustavi tako znižanje cen zaradi dampinškega uvoza po nizkih cenah iz Kitajske.
FCI submitted that imports from the PRC in the period considered did not have the effect of depressing domestic prices for the product under investigation of the Union industry, as Chinese prices have remarkably increased during the period considered, while average sales prices of the Union industry have progressively decreased in the period considered and this trend followed a general decrease in the unit cost of production, which was in the interest of the Union industry.
Po končnem razkritju je FCI trdilo, da proizvajalci Unije del svojega asortimenta izdelkov pridobivajo iz LRK.
The Commission rejected this submission, because the imports from the PRC, even after the price increase over the period considered, were significantly undercutting the Union industry prices and therefore depressing prices in the Union.
Zato uvedba začasne dajatve za LRK povzroča težave tudi proizvajalcem Unije.
This is supported by the decrease in sales prices of the Union industry, which was higher than the decrease in the unit cost of production.
Poleg tega je eden od proizvajalcev Unije pred kratkim izvedel veliko naložbo za razvoj nove livarne v Združenih državah („ZDA“); uvedba dokončne dajatve bo povzročila povečanje uvoza iz ZDA in utrditev prevladujočega položaja tega proizvajalca Unije na trgu Unije za izdelke iz litega železa, kar bo škodovalo svobodni in pošteni konkurenci.
It is therefore, in the Union industry's interest to stop such price decrease due to dumped low-priced Chinese imports.
Komisija je ugotovila, da bi lahko uvedba protidampinških ukrepov vplivala na vse akterje na trgu Unije, vključno s proizvajalci Unije.
Following final disclosure, FCI submitted that Union producers do source part of their product range from the PRC.
Vendar so pritožniki in eden od proizvajalcev, ki jih podpira, po končnem razkritju trdili, da je v interesu industrije Unije, da se uvede dokončna dajatev, ki bo prispevala k vzpostavitvi enakih konkurenčnih pogojev na trgu.
As a result, the imposition of a provisional duty on the PRC is causing problems also to Union producers.
Med preveritvenim obiskom proizvajalca iz uvodne izjave 230 je družba obvestila Komisijo, da je izvedla naložbo v ZDA, da bi nadomestila obstoječ obrat.
In addition, one of the Union producers has recently made a large investment for the development of a new foundry in the United States (‘US’); the imposition of a definitive duty will lead to an increase in imports from the US and to the consolidation of the dominant position of this Union producer in the Union market for cast iron articles to the detriment of free and fair competition.
Ker FCI ni predložilo dokazov v podporo trditvi, da bo ta proizvajalec to naložbo uporabil za povečanje uvoza iz ZDA v Unijo, je Komisija to trditev zavrnila.
The Commission noted that imposition of anti-dumping measures may affect all players in the Union market, including the Union producers.
Pritožniki so trdili, da ne bodo mogli konkurirati dampinškemu uvozu, če se bodo dokončne stopnje dajatve znižale na ravni, predlagane v končnem razkritju, saj lahko uvozniki zadevnega izdelka iz LRK kljub uvedbi začasne dajatve, ki v povprečju znaša 33 %, še naprej nelojalno nižajo prodajne cene industrije Unije.
However, following final disclosure the complainants and a supporting producer submitted that it is in the interest of the Union industry to impose a definitive duty that will contribute to the creation of a level playing field on the market.
Protidampinški ukrepi se določijo na ravni, potrebni za odpravo učinka škodljivega dampinga.
During the verification visit at the producer mentioned in recital (230), the company has informed the Commission that the investment in the US is made to replace an already existing plant.
Zato so lahko uvozne cene še naprej konkurenčne ceni podobnega izdelka, ki ga prodaja industrija Unije, zlasti ker uvedena začasna protidampinška dajatev temelji na stopnjah dampinga, za katere je bilo ugotovljeno, da so nižje od stopnje odprave škode.
As FCI has not brought any supportive evidence for its claim that this producer will use this investment to increase imports from the US to the Union, the Commission has rejected this claim.
Interes nepovezanih uvoznikov
The complainants claimed that if the definitive duty rates are reduced to the levels proposed in the final disclosure, they will not be able to compete with the dumped imports, as importers of the product concerned from the PRC are still able to undercut Union industry's prices in spite of the imposition of the provisional duty of on average 33 %.
FCI je trdilo, da je Komisija podcenila vlogo, ki jo je na trgu za zadevni izdelek imel veliki konzorcij evropskih MSP, in zaposlitev, ki jo je ustvaril.
The anti-dumping measures are set at the level necessary to remove the effect of injurious dumping.
Komisija je navedla, da je pri preiskavi ugotovila, da imajo nepovezani uvozniki nekatere stroške za zasnovo, potrjevanje ter raziskave in razvoj zadevnega izdelka, zaradi česar se je odločila, da bo ustrezno prilagodila izračune nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen in stopnje odprave škode, kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 119 do 122 zgoraj.
Therefore, it is possible that import prices are still competitive with the price of the like product sold by the Union industry, in particular since the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed is based on the dumping margins which were found lower than the injury elimination level.
Vendar sta nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen in stopnja odprave škode tudi po prilagoditvi še naprej znatna.
Interest of unrelated importers
FCI je trdilo, da Komisija ne upošteva pomena potrdil za zadevni izdelek in navzočnosti dolgoročnih pogodb.
FCI submitted that the Commission underestimated the role played and the employment created by a large consortium of European SMEs in the market for the product concerned.
Komisija je ugotovila, da med preiskavo ni odkrila nobenih dokazov o obstoju takih dolgoročnih pogodb.
The Commission noted that it has found in the investigation that the unrelated importers bear certain costs for the design, certification and R & D of the product concerned and therefore decided to adjust the undercutting and injury elimination level calculations accordingly as indicated in recitals (119) to (122) above.
Stroški potrjevanja za zadevni izdelek so vključeni v prilagoditev izračunov nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen in stopnje odprave škode za stroške raziskav in razvoja.
However, even after such adjustment the undercutting and the injury elimination level remain significant.
Skupno število zaposlenih v družbah, ki so članice FCI, po ocenah znaša približno 1200 za uvoz iz vseh držav, zato bodo imeli ukrepi, uvedeni samo za samo iz LRK, morebitni vpliv na manjše število zaposlenih.
FCI submitted that the Commission is not taking account of the importance of the certifications for the product concerned and the presence of long-term contracts.
FCI je trdilo, da bi lahko industrija Unije kljub uvozu zadevnega izdelka iz LRK ohranila dejanske stopnje zaposlenosti, medtem ko bo večina družb, ki so članice FCI, prisiljena v zaprtje ali odpuščanje delavcev, če se bo Komisija odločila uvesti dokončno protidampinško dajatev.
The Commission noted that it did not find any evidence of the existence of such long-term contracts during the investigation.
Komisija je ta argument zavrnila, saj FCI svoje trditve o prisilnih zaprtjih ali zmanjšanju števila zaposlenih ni podprlo z dokazi ali analizo.
The costs for the certifications for the product concerned are integrated in the adjustment made for R & D costs in the undercutting and injury elimination calculations.
Glede na znatno stopnjo nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen bodo kitajske uvozne cene kljub morebitni dokončni dajatvi še naprej konkurenčne cenam industrije Unije, morebitna dokončna dajatev pa ne bo povzročila takih zaprtij in zmanjšanja števila zaposlenih.
The total number of employees of the FCI member companies is estimated at around 1200 for imports from all countries, so measures on imports from just the PRC will have a potential impact on a smaller number of employees.
FCI je trdilo, da bi nepovezani uvozniki težko v kratkem roku našli druge vire oskrbe, proizvajalci Unije pa jim izdelka v preiskavi ne bodo prodajali, saj si neposredno konkurirajo med seboj.
FCI submitted that whilst the Union industry could still keep its actual levels of employment even in presence of imports of the product concerned from the PRC, most FCI member companies will be forced to close down or to lay off workers if the Commission decides to impose a definitive anti-dumping duty.
V zvezi s trditvami, da bi uvedba ukrepov privedla do nezadostne ponudbe izdelka v preiskavi, je Komisija najprej opozorila, da cilj protidampinških ukrepov ni zaprtje trga Unije za uvoz, temveč ponovna vzpostavitev poštene trgovine z odpravo učinka škodljivega dampinga.
The Commission rejected this argument as FCI failed to substantiate its claim with any evidence or analysis that forced closures or reductions in employment would take place.
Uvoz iz LRK se torej ne bi smel končati, temveč bi se moral nadaljevati, vendar po poštenih cenah.
To the contrary, given the significant level of undercutting, despite the effect of any definitive duty Chinese import prices will remain competitive with the Union industry prices, and not lead to such closures and reduction in employment.
Hkrati v praksi ni mogoče izključiti možnosti, da ukrepi proti LRK ne bodo imeli učinka.
FCI submitted that the unrelated importers cannot easily and in a short period of time find alternative sources of supply and Union producers will not sell the product under investigation to the unrelated importers, as they are in direct competition with each other.
Vendar bi lahko nepovezani uvozniki uporabili uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 220 začasne uredbe.
Concerning the arguments that the imposition of measures would lead to a shortage of supply of the product under investigation, the Commission first noted that the objective of anti-dumping measures is not to close off the Union market from any imports, but to restore fair trade by removing the effect of injurious dumping.
V zvezi s tem je Komisija ugotovila, da nepovezani uvozniki niso izključno odvisni od uvoza iz LRK, temveč so v obravnavanem obdobju izdelek v preiskavi kupovali tudi od proizvajalcev iz drugih tretjih držav, kot so Indija, Turčija in Brazilija.
Imports from the PRC should therefore not come to an end, but to continue, albeit at fair prices.
Komisija je ugotovila še uvoz iz Vietnama, Egipta in Ukrajine.
At the same time, it cannot be excluded in practice that measures against the PRC could not have an effect.
Poleg tega je Komisija med preiskavo ugotovila, da ima industrija Unije na voljo neizkoriščeno zmogljivost, saj je njena raven izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti približno 50 %.
However, as addressed in recital (220) of the provisional Regulation, unrelated importers could potentially turn to imports from other third countries.
FCI ni predložilo dokazov v podporo domnevi, da industrija Unije ne bo prodajala izdelka v preiskavi nepovezanim uvoznikom.
