In its Notice of Initiation, the Commission stated that it might sample the interested parties in accordance with Article 27 of the basic Regulation.
Začasni vzorec je vključeval tri proizvajalce Unije in predstavljal široko geografsko razpršenost.
Sampling of Union producers
Vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije so predstavljali 19 % celotnega obsega proizvodnje industrije Unije.
In its Notice of Initiation, the Commission stated that it had provisionally selected a sample of Union producers.
Komisija je zainteresirane strani pozvala, naj predložijo pripombe glede začasnega vzorca.
The Commission selected the sample on the basis of the highest representative production, which could reasonably be investigated within the time available.
Utemeljene pripombe o začasnem vzorcu je prejela od zbornice CARBIO, družbe Greenergy Fules Limited in pritožnika.
The provisional sample consisted of three Union producers and represented a broad geographical spread.
V uvodnih izjavah od 310 do 313 je navedena podrobnejša analiza teh pripomb.
The sampled Union producers accounted for 19 % of the total production volume of the Union industry.
Zato je Komisija v začasnem vzorcu nadomestila enega od proizvajalcev Unije z drugim.
The Commission invited interested parties to comment on the provisional sample.
V končnem vzorcu so bili trije proizvajalci Unije iz treh držav članic.
The Commission received substantiated comments on the provisional sample from CARBIO, Greenergy Fuels Limited and from the complainant.
Predstavljal je več kot 23 % proizvodnje Unije.
Recitals (310) to (313) provide a more detailed analysis of those comments.
Vzorčenje uvoznikov
As a result, the Commission replaced one of the Union producers in the provisional sample with another.
Da bi se Komisija lahko odločila, ali je vzorčenje potrebno, in da bi v tem primeru lahko izbrala vzorec, je nepovezane uvoznike pozvala, naj zagotovijo informacije, določene v obvestilu o začetku.
The final sample consisted of three Union producers located in three different Member States.
Dva nepovezana uvoznika sta predložila zahtevane informacije in se strinjala z vključitvijo v vzorec.
It accounted for over 23 % of Union production.
Zaradi majhnega števila nepovezanih uvoznikov se je Komisija odločila, da vzorčenje ni potrebno.
Sampling of importers
Vzorčenje proizvajalcev izvoznikov v Argentini
To decide whether sampling was necessary and, if so, to select a sample, the Commission asked unrelated importers to provide the information specified in the Notice of Initiation.
Da bi se Komisija lahko odločila, ali je vzorčenje potrebno, in bi v tem primeru izbrala vzorec, je vse proizvajalce izvoznike v Argentini pozvala, naj ji pošljejo informacije iz obvestila o začetku.
Two unrelated importers provided the requested information and agreed to be included in the sample.
Poleg tega je argentinske organe pozvala, naj navedejo morebitne druge proizvajalce izvoznike, ki bi jih zanimalo sodelovanje v preiskavi, in/ali vzpostavijo stik z njimi.
In view of the low number of unrelated importers, the Commission decided that sampling was not necessary.
Devet proizvajalcev iz zadevne države je zagotovilo zahtevane informacije in se strinjalo z vključitvijo v vzorec.
Sampling of exporting producers in Argentina
Komisija je eno družbo izključila iz vzorca, saj v obdobju preiskave ni izvažala biodizla v Unijo.
To decide whether sampling was necessary and, if so, to select a sample, the Commission asked all exporting producers in Argentina to provide the information specified in the Notice of Initiation.
Preostalih osem družb ali skupin družb je v obdobju preiskave predstavljalo 100 % izvoza v Unijo.
In addition, the Commission asked the authorities of Argentina to identify and/or contact other exporting producers, if any, that could be interested in participating in the investigation.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 27(1)(b) osnovne uredbe na podlagi največjega reprezentativnega obsega izvoza v Unijo, ki bi ga bilo razumno mogoče preiskati v razpoložljivem času, izbrala vzorec, v katerem so naslednje tri skupine proizvajalcev izvoznikov:
Nine producers in the country concerned provided the requested information and agreed to be included in the sample.
skupina Renova (Molinos Agro SA, Oleaginosa Moreno Hermanos SACIFIyA, Vicentin SAIC), Argentina,
The Commission excluded one company from the sample, as it did not export biodiesel to the Union in the investigation period.
skupina T6 (Aceitera General Deheza SA, Bunge Argentina SA), Argentina,
The remaining eight companies or groups of companies accounted for 100 % of exports to the Union during the investigation period.
Louis Dreyfus Commodities (v nadaljnjem besedilu: LDC) Argentina SA, Argentina.
In accordance with Article 27(1)(b) of the basic Regulation, the Commission selected the following sample of three groups of exporting producers on the basis of the largest representative volume of exports to the Union which could reasonably be investigated within the time available:
Vzorčene skupine proizvajalcev izvoznikov so v obdobju preiskave predstavljale 84 % celotnega izvoza zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
Group Renova (Molinos Agro SA, Oleaginosa Moreno Hermanos SACIFIyA, Vicentin SAIC), Argentina,
Komisija se je v skladu s členom 27(2) osnovne uredbe z vsemi znanimi zadevnimi proizvajalci izvozniki in argentinsko vlado posvetovala o izbiri vzorca.
Group T6 (Aceitera General Deheza SA, Bunge Argentina SA), Argentina,
V zvezi s predlaganim vzorcem ni prejela pripomb.
Louis Dreyfus Commodities (‘LDC’) Argentina SA, Argentina.
Individualna preiskava
The sampled groups of exporting producers represented 84 % of the total exports to the Union of the product concerned during the investigation period.
Noben od proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki niso bili vključeni v vzorec, ni zahteval individualne preiskave na podlagi člena 27(3) osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Article 27(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission consulted all known exporting producers concerned and the GOA on the selection of the sample.
Izpolnjeni vprašalniki in preveritveni obiski
The Commission received no comments on the proposed sample.
Komisija je vprašalnike poslala argentinski vladi, trem vzorčenim skupinam proizvajalcev izvoznikov, trem vzorčenim proizvajalcem Unije in dvema nepovezanima uvoznikoma, ki sta se javila.
Individual examination
Izpolnjene vprašalnike je prejela od argentinske vlade, vseh vzorčenih skupin proizvajalcev izvoznikov, vseh vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije, vendar samo enega od dveh sodelujočih nepovezanih uvoznikov.
No exporting producer, which was not included in the sample, requested individual examination under Article 27(3) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je zbrala in preverila vse informacije, ki so se ji zdele potrebne za določitev subvencije, posledične grožnje škode in interesa Unije.
Questionnaire replies and verification visits
V prostorih argentinskih ministrstev za živilskopredelovalno industrijo, zunanje zadeve, proizvodnjo in obdavčenje je bil opravljen preveritveni obisk, pri katerem so sodelovali tudi uradniki iz drugih ustreznih ministrstev.
The Commission sent questionnaires to the GOA, to the three sampled groups of exporting producers, to the three sampled Union producers, and to the two unrelated importers that had come forward.
Preveritveni obiski so potekali tudi v prostorih naslednjih bank: Banco de Córdoba, Banco de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Banco de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, Banco Central de la República Argentina in Banco de la Nación Argentina.
The Commission received questionnaire replies from the GOA, all sampled groups of exporting producers, all sampled Union producers but only one of the two cooperating unrelated importers.
Preveritveni obiski v skladu s členom 26 osnovne uredbe so bili opravljeni v prostorih Evropskega odbora za biodizel in naslednjih družb:

Po razkritju informativnega dokumenta je Komisija prejela pripombe argentinske vlade, zbornice CARBIO, vseh vzorčenih skupin proizvajalcev izvoznikov in Evropskega odbora za biodizel.
Non-imposition of provisional measures and subsequent procedure
Komisija je nadaljevala zbiranje in preverjanje vseh informacij, ki so bile po njenem mnenju potrebne za oblikovanje dokončnih ugotovitev.
Given that the Commission found it necessary to collect further information on developments after the investigation period, which could further confirm the Commission's preliminary findings and shed more light on the Union interest, the Commission decided not to impose provisional measures in this case.
Informacije so zlasti vključevale, vendar niso bile omejene na dodatne izpolnjene vprašalnike, ki so jih poslali Evropski odbor za biodizel in vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije v zvezi z razvojem dogodkov po obdobju preiskave, podatke o uvozu biodizla v Unijo po obdobju preiskave in podatke, ki so jih zagotovile zainteresirane strani po razkritju informativnega dokumenta.
On 21 September 2018, by means of an information document describing its preliminary findings, the Commission informed all interested parties that no provisional countervailing duties would be imposed on imports into the Union of biodiesel originating in Argentina.
Komisija je 3. decembra 2018 vsem stranem razkrila bistvena dejstva in premisleke, na podlagi katerih je nameravala uvesti dokončno izravnalno dajatev na uvoz zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
On 8 October 2018, six Member States (France, Spain, Bulgaria, Poland, Portugal and Romania) requested the Commission to impose provisional countervailing measures in this case.
Za vse strani je bil določen rok, v katerem so lahko predložile pripombe glede dokončnega razkritja.
By letter of 10 October 2018, the Commission confirmed that the investigation was ongoing and that further facts would be considered (in particular, developments immediately following the investigation period).
Po končnem razkritju so Evropski odbor za biodizel, COPA (Odbor profesionalnih kmetijskih organizacij), Cogeca (Splošna konfederacija kmetijskih zadrug v Evropski uniji) in Evropsko združenje za oljnice pozdravili namero Komisije o uvedbi dokončne izravnalne dajatve na uvoz zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
Several interested parties made written submissions on the information document.
ZADEVNI IZDELEK IN PODOBNI IZDELEK
The parties who so requested were granted an opportunity to be heard, including with the Hearing Officer.
Zadevni izdelek
Following the disclosure of the information document, comments were received from the GOA, CARBIO, all sampled groups of exporting producers, and the EBB.
Zadevni izdelek so monoalkilni estri maščobnih kislin in/ali parafinska plinska olja, pridobljena s sintezo in/ali hidrotretiranjem, nefosilnega izvora, splošno znana kot „biodizel“, v čisti obliki ali mešanici, s poreklom iz Argentine (v nadaljnjem besedilu: zadevni izdelek).
The Commission continued seeking and verifying all information it deemed necessary for its definitive findings.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je biodizel, ki se proizvaja v Argentini, izključno sojin metilni ester (v nadaljnjem besedilu: SME), pridobljen iz sojinega olja, medtem ko je biodizel, ki se proizvaja v Uniji, večinoma metilni ester iz oljne ogrščice (v nadaljnjem besedilu: RME), vendar pa se proizvaja tudi iz drugih surovin, vključno z odpadnimi in deviškimi olji.
The information included in particular, but was not limited to, the additional questionnaire replies received from the EBB and the sampled Union producers concerning the developments after the investigation period, data on biodiesel imports to the Union after the investigation period and data provided by interested parties following the disclosure of the information document.
SME in RME spadata v kategorijo metil estrov maščobnih kislin.
On 3 December 2018, the Commission disclosed to all parties the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it intended to impose a definitive countervailing duty on imports of the product concerned into the Union.
Izraz „ester“ se nanaša na transesterifikacijo rastlinskih olj, natančneje na združitev olja z alkoholom, s čimer se ustvari biodizel, kot stranski produkt pa glicerin.
All parties were granted a period within which they could make comments on the definitive disclosure.
Izraz „metil“ se nanaša na metanol, tj. najbolj običajen alkohol, ki se uporablja v tem procesu.
Following final disclosure, the EBB, Copa (Committee of Professional Agricultural Organisations), Cogeca (General Confederation of Agricultural Cooperatives in the European Union) and the European Oilseed Alliance welcomed the Commission's intention to impose a definitive countervailing duty on imports of the product concerned into the Union.
Biodizel iz SME se lahko uporablja v čisti obliki, vendar se običajno meša, preden se uporablja v Uniji.
PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
SME se meša, ker v čisti obliki ne izpolnjuje evropskega standarda EN 14214, kar zadeva jodovo in cetansko število.
Product concerned
Razlog za mešanje SME z RME je, da ima SME točko mašenja hladnega filtra pri višji temperaturi („Cold Filter Plugging Point“, v nadaljnjem besedilu: CFPP) kot RME in zato njegova uporaba v čisti obliki v zimskih mesecih v mrzlih območjih Evropske unije ni primerna.
The product concerned is fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoils obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, commonly known as ‘biodiesel’, in pure form or as included in a blend, originating in Argentina (‘the product concerned’).
Mešanice biodizla in mineralnega dizla se v bistvu uporabljajo v sektorju prevoza kot gorivo za dizelske motorje cestnih vozil, kot so avtomobili, tovornjaki in avtobusi, ter tudi za vlake.
The investigation showed that biodiesel produced in Argentina is exclusively soybean methyl ester (‘SME’) derived from soybean oil, whereas biodiesel produced in the Union is mainly rapeseed methyl ester (‘RME’) but made also from other feedstock, including waste oils as well as virgin oils.
Biodizel v čisti obliki ali kot mešanica z mineralnimi dizli se lahko uporablja tudi kot gorivo za ogrevanje v domačih, komercialnih ali industrijskih kotlih ter kot gorivo za generatorje za proizvodnjo električne energije.
SME and RME both belong to the category of fatty-acid methyl esters (FAME).
Obstajajo poskusi za uvedbo biodizla v letalskem prometu, da bi se zmanjšale emisije CO2 letalske industrije.
The term ‘ester’ refers to the transesterification of vegetable oils, namely, the mingling of the oil with alcohol, which produces biodiesel and, as a by-product, glycerine.
Zadevni izdelek se trenutno uvršča pod oznake KN ex15162098 (oznake TARIC 1516209821, 1516209829 in 1516209830), ex15180091 (oznake TARIC 1518009121, 1518009129 in 1518009130), ex15180095 (oznaka TARIC 1518009510), ex15180099 (oznake TARIC 1518009921, 1518009929 in 1518009930), ex27101943 (oznake TARIC 2710194321, 2710194329 in 2710194330), ex27101946 (oznake TARIC 2710194621, 2710194629 in 2710194630), ex27101947 (oznake TARIC 2710194721, 2710194729 in 2710194730), 27102011, 27102015, 27102017, ex38249992 (oznake TARIC 3824999210, 3824999212 in 3824999220), 38260010 in ex38260090 (oznake TARIC 3826009011, 3826009019 in 3826009030).
The term ‘methyl’ refers to methanol, the most commonly used alcohol in the process.
Podobni izdelek
SME biodiesel could be used in its pure form but is generally blended before being used in the Union.
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da imajo naslednji izdelki enake osnovne fizikalne, kemične in tehnične lastnosti ter so namenjeni enakim osnovnim uporabam:
The reason for blending is that SME in its pure form does not meet the European standard EN 14214 as regards iodine and cetane numbers.
zadevni izdelek;
The reason for blending SME with RME is that SME has a higher Cold Filter Plugging Point (‘CFPP’) than RME and is therefore not suitable for use in its pure form during winter months in cold regions of the European Union.
izdelek, ki se proizvaja in prodaja na domačem trgu Argentine;
The blends of biodiesel and mineral diesel are ultimately used in the transport sector as a fuel in diesel powered engines of road vehicles such as cars, trucks and buses, and also in trains.
izdelek, ki ga v Uniji proizvaja in prodaja industrija Unije.
Biodiesel in its pure form or blended with mineral diesels can also be used as a heating fuel in domestic, commercial or industrial boilers and as a fuel for generators to produce electricity.
Komisija se je odločila, da so navedeni izdelki zato podobni izdelki v smislu člena 2(c) osnovne uredbe.
There are trials to introduce biodiesel for air transport, in order to reduce CO2 emissions by the air industry.
