Even if, admittedly, the market share of Chinese tyres in the Union is lower in value due to ‘shorter lifespan’ than ‘per unit’, it does not change the fact that it is precisely because of the growing attractiveness for consumers to buy Chinese ‘low-price — low-mileage’ tyres that the Union industry has become under pressure and suffered material injury.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je naraščajoče povpraševanje po manjših pnevmatikah verjetno vplivalo na nabor izdelkov v različnih letih, in sicer tako, da je bilo proti koncu obdobja preiskave prodanih sorazmerno več manjših pnevmatik.
One interested party claimed that the decrease in price of Chinese imports is caused by a change in product mix triggered by the growing demand for smaller tyres.
Zaradi omejitev glede teže in velikosti vozil v središčih mest ter rasti e-trgovanja (pri katerem je treba tovor razdeliti na manjše količine, zaradi česar je potrebnih več lahkih tovornih vozil in lahkih komercialnih kombijev) se je povečalo povpraševanje po manjših pnevmatikah.
There was no evidence supporting that claim.
Ta ugotovitev ni veljala le za prodajo proizvajalcev Unije.
In any event, even if the size had an impact on the evolution of the average prices, Chinese imports were undercutting the Union industry's prices also for the same sizes as the comparison is always made per product type.
Tudi kitajski uvoz je zadovoljeval povečano povpraševanje po manjših pnevmatikah, kar je (delno) pojasnilo znižanje prodajnih cen kitajskega uvoza.
Imports from third countries
Kar zadeva trditev glede razvoja nabora izdelkov, informacije, ki jih je Komisija zbrala v zvezi z velikostmi, ki so se v obravnavanem obdobju tržile na trgu Unije, ne podpirajo trditve, da so cene in stroški nižji zaradi razmeroma večje prisotnosti manjših pnevmatik na trgu.
Several interested parties claimed that the Commission should provide further analysis of the impact of the Russian imports, which were priced at the level of the Chinese imports.
Pač pa podatki za obdobje preiskave kažejo, da je nabor izdelkov na trgu stabilen in še naprej osredotočen na glavne dimenzije.
The Commission found that there is a crucial difference between the volumes imported.
Poleg tega takega zmanjšanja povprečne velikosti izdelka ni mogoče najti v podatkih Eurostata za kitajski uvoz, ki nasprotno kažejo, da se je teža uvoženih pnevmatik iz Kitajske med letom 2014 in obdobjem preiskave povečala za 3 %.
While Chinese imports increased from 3,5 million tyres in 2014 to 4,6 million tyres (namely by 1100000 items) in the investigation period, Russian imports increased from 0,2 million tyres to 0,3 million tyres (namely with only 100000 items) in the same period.
Nasprotno je Komisija ugotovila, da je industrija izvedla splošne strukturne prilagoditve, da bi znižala stroške zaradi posrednega učinka na različne zadevne razrede.
Given the limited quantities originating from Russia (they constitute only 6 % of the total volumes of import from the PRC and have only 1,29 % market share of the Union market) at a similar price, these imports cannot weaken the causal link between the Chinese imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Sklep o vzročni zvezi
Other interested parties claimed that imports from other countries such as Japan, South Korea and Turkey took place at significant quantities and at lower prices than that of the Union industry.
Ruski uvoz (zaradi majhnega obsega) ter uvoz iz Japonske, Južne Koreje in Turčije (zaradi njihovih transfernih cen, ki so bile celo višje od kitajskih cen) nista bila glavni vzrok škode industriji Unije.
Due to their price and quantity they allegedly severed the causal link between the Chinese imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Tudi izvoz Unije in razvoj stroškov nista bila vzrok za slab položaj industrije Unije.
The Commission observed that the import prices from Japan, South Korea and Turkey were well above the Chinese import prices.
Slednjega ni mogoče pojasniti niti z drugimi dejstvi, kot sta naložba dveh pomembnih proizvajalcev v dejavnost protektiranja in razvoj nabora izdelkov.
Moreover, they are mostly transfer prices to related importers.
Zato je Komisija potrdila svoje ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav 229 in 232 začasne uredbe, da je znatna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, posledica dampinškega uvoza iz LRK in da drugi posamično ali skupaj obravnavani dejavniki niso zmanjšali vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Therefore, those import prices cannot serve as a basis for a comparison with the prices of the Union industry.
INTERES UNIJE
Finally, the Japanese, South Korean and Turkish tyres were sold at a price corresponding to their respective tier in the Union market.
Interes industrije Unije
Therefore, those imports should not cause injury to the Union industry.
Komisija je potrdila svoje začasne ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav 234 in 235 začasne uredbe, da bo uvedba ukrepov v interesu proizvajalcev Unije.
As far as the quantities are concerned their market shares remained stable (the volume decreased for South Korea by 50000 items, remained stable for Japan and increased for Turkey by 170000 items) and represented around half of the volume of imports originating in the PRC.
Skupina Aeolus Group in družba Pirelli, skupina Giti Group in družba Kirkby so menile, da bosta zmanjšanje ponudbe in višja cena karkas negativno vplivala na industrijo protektiranja v Uniji.
Export performance of the Union industry
Po njihovem mnenju bi protidampinški ukrepi za pnevmatike prvega in drugega razreda negativno vplivali na neodvisne izvajalce protektiranja v Uniji, ki karkase iz navedenih razredov uporabljajo v svoji proizvodni liniji.
Certain interested parties claimed that the Union industry suffered losses as they are exporting at a loss throughout the period considered which impacted their return on investment and the ability to invest.
Skupina Giti Group je podobne trditve ponovila po končnem razkritju.
As indicated in recital (226) of the provisional Regulation, average export prices are affected by transfer values to related companies.
Čeprav imajo veliki proizvajalci Unije integrirane dejavnosti protektiranja, številne njihove karkase še vedno protektirajo neodvisni izvajalci protektiranja v Uniji.
Moreover, the costs of production reported in recital (176) of the provisional Regulation were calculated for the sales by the sampled Union producers charged to unrelated customers.
Poleg tega so neodvisni izvajalci protektiranja v Uniji Komisiji sporočili, da je ponudba karkas trenutno prevelika.
This does not allow drawing meaningful conclusions on the basis of comparing these two sets of data.
Po njihovi oceni se številnim potrošnikom zdi ceneje, da kupijo kitajske pnevmatike nižjega razreda, kot da protektirajo obstoječe.
Moreover, the micro-indicators showed that the exports of the sampled Union producers were found profitable.
To pomeni, da je bilo treba zavreči številne karkase, ki bi jih bilo mogoče protektirati.
The Commission reiterated that the volumes remained stable during the period considered.
Najpomembneje je, da so neodvisni izvajalci protektiranja in združenja podprli ukrepe ter da se ni javil noben izvajalec protektiranja v Uniji, ki bi ukrepom nasprotoval.
Furthermore, these prices are transfer prices between related parties, and therefore no conclusion can be drawn from the fact that these prices show a downward trend during period considered.
To kaže, da so ukrepi v interesu industrije protektiranja v Uniji.
Thus, the Commission confirms that there is no evidence that the export activity of the Union industry could attenuate the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury found.
Združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC sta po končnem razkritju trdila, da je en izvajalec protektiranja v Uniji navedel, da ukrepi niso v njegovem interesu.
Costs evolution
Ker ta trditev ni bila podprta z nobenim dokazom, ni bila upoštevana.
The Giti Group claimed that the new tyres have become cheaper as costs dropped, but the retreaders could not benefit from this decrease as the proportion of raw materials in their cost of production is significantly lower compared to new tyres.
Interes uporabnikov in uvoznikov iz Unije
This explains the loss suffered by the retreading industry in tier 3, which is mainly due to the evolution of raw material prices as they have been continuously declining since 2012 and only started to recover in 2017.
Skupina Aeolus Group in družba Pirelli ter skupina Giti Group in družba Heuver so trdile, da bi se v primeru sprejetja ukrepov kitajski uvoz zmanjšal, zaradi česar bi se ponudba na splošno zmanjšala.
As mentioned in recital (152), the Chinese import prices did not follow the evolution of the raw materials prices while the cost of production of the Union industry reflected this evolution.
To bi povzročilo špekulativno zvišanje cen v škodo končnim uporabnikom.
The losses were due to the fact that Chinese imports are substantially undercutting the Union industry prices over the period considered.
Ukrepi, ki ščitijo industrijo Unije, bi pomenili tudi, da bi imeli končni potrošniki na voljo manjšo izbiro izdelkov.
Other known factors
Komisija je menila, da je v Uniji na voljo zadostna splošna zmogljivost za oskrbo notranjega trga, kakor je navedeno v preglednici 4.
The Aeolus Group and Pirelli claimed that the Commission did not take into consideration that two major producers have invested heavily in their retreading business.
Poleg tega so v tretjih državah (Turčija, Južna Koreja, Japonska, Rusija, Tajska in številne druge države) številni proizvajalci, ki že prodajajo na trg Unije.
This could allegedly explain why other Union producers had to exit tier 3 of the market.
Njihov skupni obseg prodaje v obravnavanem obdobju je bil razmeroma stabilen, tržni delež pa je znašal približno 10 %.
According to these parties, the economic crisis pushed two major producers (Goodyear and Continental) to invest in their retreading business and they opened their own retreading plants.
Komisija je opozorila, da so bile kitajske cene precej nižje od cen vseh drugih glavnih držav uvoznic.
According to the information available, the production capacity of each plant is equivalent to the annual production of ten small retreaders.
Po podatkih Eurostata je povprečna uvozna cena iz Ljudske republike Kitajske znašala 128,8 EUR/kos (kot je navedeno v preglednici 3 začasne uredbe), uvozne cene iz vseh drugih držav v obdobju preiskave pa so bile 189 EUR/kos (kot je navedeno v preglednici 18 začasne uredbe).
The Aeolus Group believes that these investments have led to self-inflicted injury.
Zato je mogoče upravičeno pričakovati, da bo po ponovni vzpostavitvi enakih konkurenčnih pogojev na trgu Unije uvoz iz vseh držav zagotovil potrebno ponudbo.
These investments are said to have created over-capacity and artificially increased the unit costs and as a result caused profit reduction.
Komisija je spomnila tudi, da je trg Unije konkurenčni trg, na katerem si silovito konkurira veliko proizvajalcev, dejavnih v vseh razredih.
The effect of the investments on the overall Union industry is allegedly sufficient to attenuate any potential causal link between the dumped Chinese imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry, whether considered individually or jointly with the other known factors.
Zato bo uvoz po pošteni ravni cen še naprej izvajal dodaten konkurenčni pritisk na cene industrije Unije.
According to information provided by ETRMA and by some large manufacturers as described in recitals (189) to (191), the production of large manufacturers (using mainly hot cured retread process) actually decreased during the period considered (the output went from around 2,4 million in 2014 to 2,2 million in the investigation period).
Več uvoznikov je trdilo, da se bodo ob morebitni uvedbi ukrepov morda popolnoma umaknili s trga.
These figures did thus not support the claim that the investment of the two major producers had produced an overcapacity.
Komisija je spomnila, da je namen uvedbe protidampinških ukrepov znova vzpostaviti enake konkurenčne pogoje, da bi si proizvajalci Unije in proizvajalci iz tretjih držav enakopravno konkurirali.
Therefore, that claim about self-inflicted injury was rejected.
V skladu s tem se dajatve določijo le na ravni, ki bi kitajskim izvoznikom še vedno omogočala, da še naprej konkurirajo proizvajalcem Unije, vendar po poštenih cenah.
Some interested parties submitted that a growing demand for smaller tyres probably affected the product mix in different years in such a way that proportionally more small-sized tyres were sold towards the end of the investigation period.
Ker se bo zaradi ukrepov zmanjšala velika razlika med dampinškimi kitajskimi cenami in uvoznimi cenami iz vseh drugih držav, bodo imeli poleg tega uvozniki večje poslovne priložnosti za prodajo pnevmatik za avtobuse in tovornjake iz drugih držav.
Due to inner-city weight and size restrictions on vehicles and the growth of the e-commerce business (which requires loads to be broken down into smaller quantities, which in turn requires more light trucks and light commercial vans), there has been a shift towards increased demand for smaller tyres.
Združenje Retread Manufacturing Association je po končnem razkritju trdilo, da je dobava zanesljiva.
This observation did not only apply to sales by the Union producers.
Po navedbah zadevnega združenja ni pomanjkanja izdelkov, saj podatki o trgovanju kažejo, da proizvajalci svojo dobavo preusmerjajo iz Ljudske republike Kitajske v druge države, kot je Južna Koreja.
Chinese imports also catered to the increased demand for smaller tyres and this, therefore, (partly) explained the decrease in sales prices of the Chinese imports.
Trdilo je, da se je od napovedi začasnih dajatev lokalno povpraševanje povečalo za od 5 do 10 %.
With regard to the claim on the evolution of the product mix, the information gathered by the Commission concerning sizes commercialised in the Union market over the period considered does not support the argument that prices and costs are lower because of the relatively stronger presence of smaller tyres on the market.
Komisija je ugotovila, da ukrepi ne bi bili v interesu uvoznikov, ki se večinoma zanašajo na uvoz zelo poceni kitajskih pnevmatik.
The data for the investigation period rather shows that the product mix on the market is stable and remains concentrated on the main dimensions.
Vendar ponovna vzpostavitev poštene konkurence verjetno ne bo resno prizadela uvoznikov z obsežnejšim portfeljem.
Moreover, such a reduction of the average size of the product cannot be found in the Eurostat data for Chinese imports, revealing that, on the contrary the weight of the imported tyres from China increased by 3 % between 2014 and the investigation period.
Interes dobaviteljev
Conversely, the Commission noted that the industry had made overall structural adaptations in order to reduce costs in view of the ‘knock-on’ effect on the different tiers at play.
Ker ni bilo pripomb v zvezi s tem, je Komisija potrdila svojo ugotovitev iz uvodne izjave 242 začasne uredbe, da so ukrepi v interesu dobaviteljev tekalnih plasti.
Conclusion on causation
Drugi interesi
Neither the Russian imports (because of their small volume), nor the imports from Japan, South Korea and Turkey (because of their transfer prices which were even higher than the Chinese prices) had been the main cause of injury to the Union industry.
Ker v roku, določenem za predložitev pripomb v zvezi z dokumentom o končnem razkritju, ni bilo nasprotnih pripomb, je Komisija potrdila svoje ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav od 243 do 249 začasne uredbe, da so ukrepi v interesu politike Unije za zmanjšanje količine odpadkov in trajnostno upravljanje surovin.
Also the Union's export performance and its cost evolution were not at the root of the Union's injurious situation.
Poleg tega in glede na to, da so v dejavnosti protektiranja večinoma dejavna MSP, bi bila uvedba ukrepov tudi v skladu s pomembnim ciljem Komisije za podporo MSP.
The latter can also not be explained by other facts, such as the investment into the retreading business by two major producers and the evolution of the product mix.
Sklep o interesu Unije
Therefore, the Commission confirmed its findings in recitals (229) and (232) of the provisional Regulation that the material injury to the Union industry was caused by the dumped imports from the PRC and that the other factors, considered individually and collectively did not attenuate the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Komisija je torej potrdila svoj sklep iz uvodnih izjav od 234 do 249 začasne uredbe.
UNION INTEREST
Na podlagi člena 21 osnovne uredbe ni utemeljenih razlogov za to, da uvedba ukrepov ne bi bila v interesu Unije.
Interest of the Union industry
UPOŠTEVANJE RETROAKTIVNE UVEDBE UKREPOV
The Commission confirmed its provisional findings in recitals (234) and (235) of the provisional Regulation that the imposition of measures will be in the interest of the Union manufacturers.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 4, je bila za uvoz zadevnega izdelka obvezna registracija od 3. februarja 2018 do datuma začetka veljavnosti začasnih ukrepov, tj. 8. maja 2018, z možnostjo retroaktivnega pobiranja dajatev na registrirani uvoz.
The Aeolus Group and Pirelli, the Giti Group and Kirkby considered that the retreading industry in the Union would be negatively affected by a decreased supply and an increased price of casings.
V zaključni fazi preiskave so bili ocenjeni podatki, zbrani v okviru registracije.
In their view, the anti-dumping measures on tier 1 and 2 tyres would negatively impact the independent Union retreaders, which use the casings of those tiers in its production line.
Komisija je analizirala, ali so bila izpolnjena merila iz člena 10(4) osnovne uredbe za retroaktivno pobiranje dokončnih dajatev.
The Giti Group reiterated similar claims following the final disclosure.
Podatki, ki so bili na voljo v času registracije, so pokazali, da se je znatno povečal uvoz na ravni oznake KN.
In spite of the fact that large Union producers have integrated retreading operations, many of their casings are still retreaded by independent Union retreaders.
Vendar novejši podatki kažejo, da se uvoz v primerjavi s stopnjo uvoza v obdobju preiskave ni dodatno znatno povečal.
In addition, independent Union retreaders indicated to the Commission that there is an oversupply of casings at present.
Zato ta pogoj iz člena 10(4)(d) osnovne uredbe ni izpolnjen.
In their assessment, many consumers find it cheaper to buy low tier Chinese tyres than to retread the existing ones.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da retroaktivno pobiranje dokončnih dajatev v tem primeru ni upravičeno.
This means that many casings that could be retreaded had to be discarded.
DOKONČNI PROTIDAMPINŠKI UKREPI
Most importantly, while independent retreaders and associations supported the measures, no single Union retreader came forward opposing the measures.
Stopnja odprave škode (stopnja škode)
This indicates that the measures are in the interest of the retreading Union industry.
Po začasnem razkritju je več zainteresiranih strani trdilo, da je obstajalo splošno soglasje o segmentaciji trga Unije na tri razrede ter da so bili v začasni uredbi zagotovljeni obsežne analize in podatki po posameznih segmentih.
Following the final disclosure, the CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that one Union retreader stated that the measures were not in its interest.
Vendar so bili s pristopom enega ciljnega dobička za vse razrede, uporabljenim v začasni fazi, proizvajalci Unije preveč zaščiteni pred dampinškim uvozom pnevmatik tretjega razreda, ki ne bi mogel doseči predvidenega ciljnega dobička za to industrijo kot celoto.
However, as it was not supported by any evidence, that claim was disregarded.
Zato bi morala Komisija za izračun neškodljive cene in stopnje škode uporabiti dobičkonosnost vsakega posameznega razreda, da bi se ustrezno uporabilo pravilo nižje dajatve.
Interest of the Union users and importers
Komisija se je s to trditvijo strinjala.
The Aeolus Group and Pirelli, the Giti Group, and Heuver claimed that if measures were adopted, there would be a decrease in Chinese imports leading to a general decline in supply.
Menila je, da je v tem konkretnem primeru ustrezneje določiti ciljni dobiček za posamezni razred, ker so ukrepi v obliki fiksne dajatve na pnevmatiko, ta pa temelji na stopnji škode, dobljeni iz kontrolne številke proizvoda za posamezni razred.
This, in turn would lead to a speculative increase in prices, to the detriment of end-users.
Zato je ciljni dobiček spremenila na 17,9 % za prvi razred, 17,9 % za drugi razred in 6,1 % za tretji razred.
Measures protecting the Union industry would also imply that final consumers would have less product choice.
Skupina Giti Group je po končnem razkritju trdila, da leto 2014, ki je uporabljeno kot podlaga za ciljni dobiček, ni bilo običajno leto, ker je bila dobičkonosnost v prvem in drugem razredu enaka, v naslednjih dveh letih pa se je razlikovala.
The Commission considered that there was sufficient overall capacity in the Union to supply the internal market as indicated in Table 4.
Komisija je opozorila, da mora ciljni dobiček določiti z opredelitvijo leta, najbolj podobnega običajnim pogojem konkurence, ki ni izkrivljena zaradi dampinškega uvoza.
Moreover, there are many producers located in third countries (Turkey, South Korea, Japan, Russia, Thailand, and many other countries) who are already selling to the Union market.
Glede na to merilo je leto 2014 leto z najnižjim obsegom in tržnim deležem dampinškega uvoza v primerjavi z letom 2015 ali 2016, zato bi bilo treba slednje izključiti.
Their combined sales volumes during the period considered were relatively stable, with a market share of around 10 %.
Podobno Komisija ni mogla uporabiti podatkov iz let pred letom 2014, saj za ta leta ni bilo preverjenih informacij.
The Commission recalled that the Chinese prices were well below the prices of all other major importing countries.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani (pritožnik, organizacija Tyre Specialists of Finland, italijansko združenje izvajalcev protektiranja (AIRP), združenje Bipaver, družba Vipal, portugalsko nacionalno združenje industrije protektiranja ter nemško združenje izvajalcev protektiranja Bundesverband Reifenhandel und Vulkaniseur-Handwerk) so menile, da je 6,1-odstotni ciljni dobiček za tretji razred, uporabljen v končnem razkritju, prenizek, da bi se odpravila škoda, ki so jo utrpeli izvajalci protektiranja, in da je bila približno 10-odstotna stopnja dobička, dosežena pred povečanjem uvoza, utemeljena.
According to Eurostat the average import price from the People's Republic of China was 128,8 EUR/item, (as indicated in Table 3 of the provisional Regulation) while the import prices from all other countries were 189 EUR/item in the investigation period (as indicated in Table 18 of the provisional Regulation).
Komisija je spomnila, da je za trg pnevmatik tretjega razreda značilna posebna prisotnost protektiranih in novih pnevmatik, ki medsebojno dejavno konkurirajo za tržni delež.
Therefore, it can be reasonably expected that once the level playing field is restored in the Union market, imports from all countries will provide for the necessary supply.
Kot je bilo predhodno ugotovljeno v uvodni izjavi 209 začasne uredbe, netrajnostne ravni izgub v industriji protektiranja ogrožajo preživetje celotne dejavnosti protektiranja v Uniji.
The Commission also recalled that the Union market is a competitive market in which many producers active in all tiers are fiercely competing.
Kot je bilo predhodno ugotovljeno v uvodni izjavi 230 začasne uredbe, te izgube vplivajo tudi na dobičkonosnost, ki jo lahko dosežejo družbe, dejavne v prvem in drugem razredu.
Therefore, the imports at a fair level of prices will keep exerting an additional competitive pressure on the Union industry's prices.
Te ugotovitve je treba obravnavati ob upoštevanju jasnega interesa Unije glede obstoja močne industrije protektiranja, kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah od 243 do 249 začasne uredbe in uvodne izjave 232 dokumenta o končnem razkritju.
