Following disclosure, one interested party claimed that the Commission erroneously double counted the benefits by adding the‘bill of acceptance –credit line arrangement fee’ and ‘bill of acceptance - preferential interest’ that should have been paid on the de facto loan to the benefit calculated for the bank acceptance fee.
Poleg tega dokumenta, ki je bil v podporo tej trditvi predložen po razkritju, ni bilo mogoče preveriti in ga ni bilo mogoče upoštevati.
In this regard, it should be noted that the evidence at hand concerning this particular exporting producer shows that the bank acceptances extended the payment terms of the invoices to which they referred.
Kar zadeva drugo trditev, so se sporazumi o kreditni liniji, ki so bili sklenjeni pred OP, delno nanašali na OP in s tem na ugodnost za skupino Giant Group zaradi izdaje v OP.
As a consequence, they were considered as a de facto loan.
Komisija zato te trditve ni mogla sprejeti.
On these grounds, and as explained in recital (335) a benefit was also calculated in the form of a de facto interest free short term loan.
Kar zadeva tretjo trditev, je treba opozoriti, da ta konkretni stolpec ni bil pomemben za izračun ugodnosti in da popravek zato ni vplival na izračun.
Furthermore, as explained in recital (334) in analogy with the situation of the Canadian market, regardless of the existence of a de facto loan, a benefit for the credit line facility that should have been in place was also calculated.
Sklep o preferenčnih posojilih
On the basis of the above, this claim had to be rejected.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so imeli v obdobju preiskave vsi vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki ugodnosti od preferenčnih posojil.
Another interested party claimed that calculating a credit line benefit in addition to the guarantee fee amounted to double counting on the grounds that the guarantee fee should be considered sufficient to cover financial cost and risks relating to the issuance of bank acceptance.
Zaradi obstoja finančnega prispevka, ugodnosti za proizvajalce izvoznike in specifičnosti bi bilo treba ta posojila, kreditne linije in bančne menične akcepte šteti za subvencijo, proti kateri se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi.
It also argued that, in the case of a written credit line agreement, it is unfounded to consider that a bank would charge a fee for arranging such credit line.
Znesek subvencije, določen v zvezi s preferenčnimi posojili v obdobju preiskave za vzorčene skupine družb, je:
It also claimed that the benchmark for the guarantee fee and credit line fee should stem from the same source.
Preglednica 1
In this regard, it is referred to recital (323) which provides that borrowers need to have a credit line facility on which they will draw.
Družba/skupina
Furthermore, as mentioned in recital (318), it is recalled that the credit line facility contracts of several sampled exporting producers foresee that the facility can be used for various types of loans including bank acceptances.
Skupni znesek subvencije
Furthermore, the Bank of Canada document also foresees that ‘arrangement and agency fees are also applicable to both prime-and BA-based lines of credit’.
Družbi Jinhua Vision Industry in Yongkang Hulong Electric Vehicle
In analogy with the situation on the Canadian market, it was considered reasonable to integrate a credit line arrangement fee in the calculation of the benefit.
Preferenčno financiranje in zavarovanje: zavarovanje izvoznih kreditov
As far as the source of the benchmarks is concerned, reference is made to section 3.3.1 and the fact that the Commission had to partially rely on facts available when examining the existence and the extent of the alleged subsidisation granted through preferential lending.
Pritožnik je trdil, da je družba Sinosure proizvajalcem zadevnega izdelka zagotavljala zavarovanje izvoznih kreditov po preferenčnih pogojih.
In any case, it is considered that the information used is reasonable and reflects standard market conditions.
Pravna podlaga
One interested party claimed that the Commission did not demonstrate the ‘less favourable terms’ of other Chinese commercial banks and that it did not justify why an out-of-country benchmark would be appropriate and that it did not make the necessary adjustments to ensure comparability.
Obvestilo o izvajanju strategije spodbujanja trgovine prek znanosti in tehnologije z uporabo zavarovanja izvoznih kreditov (Shang Ji Fa [2004], št. 368), ki sta ga skupaj izdala ministrstvo za trgovino in družba Sinosure.
In this regard, it is recalled that, as explained in section 3.3.1, the GOC cooperated only partially as far as preferential lending is concerned and that the Commission had to partially rely on facts available when examining the existence and the extent of the alleged subsidisation granted through preferential lending.
Obvestilo o izdaji izvoznega kataloga visokotehnoloških kitajskih izdelkov za leto 2006, Guo Ke Fa Ji Zi [2006] št. 16.
In view of such partial cooperation, the Commission missed relevant crucial information and had to base its findings on facts available.
Ugotovitve preiskave
On that basis, the Commission found that the Chinese financial market is distorted as State-owned and private financial institutions are entrusted or directed by the State to pursue governmental policies and provide loans at preferential rates to the electric bicycle industry as concluded in recitals (217) and (222).
Tri od petih vzorčenih skupin proizvajalcev izvoznikov so imele v OP neizpolnjene pogodbe o zavarovanju izvoza, ki so jih sklenile z družbo Sinosure.
This claim had therefore to be rejected.
Kakor je opisano v uvodni izjavi 157, je družba Sinosure delno izpolnila posebni vprašalnik v zvezi z zavarovanjem izvoznih kreditov, zagotovljenih vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom.
One interested party also claimed that the CDOR is not an appropriate benchmark in view of its financial situation.
Vendar kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah od 156 do 162, ni predložila podporne dokumentacije, ki se je zahtevala v zvezi z njenim korporativnim upravljanjem, kot je letno poročilo ali statut.
In this regard, reference is made to the credit rating assessments made for the sampled exporting producers in section 3.5.4.1.
Med preveritvenim obiskom pri kitajski vladi je bila prisotna tudi družba Sinosure, ki je potrdila, da je v celoti v državni lasti.
On the basis of such assessments, it was considered that all sampled exporting producers should have a BB credit rating.
Prav tako ni predložila posebnih informacij o zavarovanju izvoznih kreditov, zagotovljenih industriji električnih koles, višini premij ali podrobnih podatkov o dobičkonosnosti svoje dejavnosti zavarovanja izvoznih kreditov.
One interested party provided additional unverified documents and claimed that the benefit had been miscalculated on the ground that certain agreements should have been considered as renewals rather than separate agreements.
Zato je morala Komisija zagotovljene informacije dopolniti z razpoložljivimi dejstvi.
They also claimed that if an administrative fee would have been charged, such fee would have been paid before the IP.
Družba Sinosure je glede na izpolnjeni vprašalnik zavarovalnica v državni lasti, ki jo je ustanovila in jo podpira država, da bi podpirala razvoj in sodelovanje LRK na področju zunanjega gospodarstva in trgovine.
Furthermore, this party claimed that the Commission did not take into consideration the latest version of the file (with a corrected column).
Družba je v stoodstotni lasti države.
As far as the first claim is concerned, the verified evidence at hand does not confirm that such agreement was a renewal.
Ima upravni odbor in nadzorni odbor.
Furthermore the document submitted after disclosure in support of this claim could not be verified and had to be disregarded.
Vlada lahko imenuje in razreši višje vodstvo družbe.
Regarding the second claim, the credit lines agreements that started before the IP covered part of the IP and therefore the benefit of the issuance conferred to Giant Group during the IP.
Komisija je na podlagi izpolnjenega vprašalnika in informacij, zagotovljenih med preveritvenim obiskom, ugotovila, da glede družbe Sinosure obstajajo formalni indici vladnega nadzora.
The Commission could therefore not accept this claim.
Komisija je na podlagi tega sklenila, da je kitajska vlada vzpostavila normativni okvir, ki ga morajo upoštevati vodstveni delavci in nadzorniki, ki jih imenuje kitajska vlada in ki tej tudi odgovarjajo.
As far as the third claim is concerned, it should be noted that this specific column was not relevant for the calculation of the benefit and the correction did therefore not have any impact.
Kitajska vlada se je torej pri izvajanju smiselnega nadzora nad ravnanjem družbe Sinosure opirala na normativni okvir.
Conclusion on preferential lending
Komisija je želela pridobiti tudi oprijemljive dokaze o izvajanju smiselnega nadzora na podlagi konkretnih zavarovalnih pogodb.
The investigation showed that all sampled exporting producers benefited from preferential lending during the investigation period.
Med preveritvenim obiskom je družba Sinosure trdila, da so bile v praksi njene premije tržno usmerjene in so temeljile na načelih ocene tveganja.
In view of the existence of a financial contribution, a benefit to the exporting producers and specificity, these loans, credit lines and bank acceptances should be considered as a countervailable subsidy.
Vendar niso bili predloženi konkretni primeri v zvezi z industrijo električnih koles in vzorčenimi proizvajalci izvozniki.
The subsidy amount established with regard to the preferential lending during the investigation period for the sampled groups of companies amounts to:
Zaradi le delnih informacij, ki jih je predložila družba Sinosure, Komisija ni mogla ugotoviti nobenega posebnega ravnanja družbe Sinosure glede zavarovanja, zagotovljenega vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, ki bi Komisiji omogočilo, da ugotovi, ali je družba Sinosure delovala na podlagi tržnih načel.
Table 1
V zvezi s tem Komisija tudi ni mogla oceniti, ali so bile premije, ki jih je družba Sinosure zaračunavala, zadostne za kritje stroškov zahtevkov in splošnih stroškov poslovanja družbe Sinosure.
Company/Group
Poleg tega je Komisija ugotovila, da je imelo nekaj proizvajalcev izvoznikov ugodnosti od delnega ali celotnega vračila premij za zavarovanje izvoznih kreditov, plačanih družbi Sinosure.
Overall Subsidy amount
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da družba Sinosure izvaja pravni okvir z izvajanjem vladnih funkcij v zvezi s sektorjem električnih koles in tako deluje kot javni organ v smislu člena 2(b) osnovne uredbe v povezavi s členom 3(1)(a)(i) osnovne uredbe.
Jinhua Vision Industry and Yongkang Hulong Electric Vehicle
Prav tako družba Sinosure zaradi delnega sodelovanja ni mogla dokazati, da je delovala v normalnih tržnih razmerah in da vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom ni zagotavljala ugodnosti, in sicer da je bilo zavarovanje zagotovljeno po obrestnih merah, ki niso nižje od najnižje opravnine, ki je bila potrebna, da bi družba Sinosure lahko krila stroške poslovanja.
Preferential financing and insurance: export credit insurance
Ker ni imela drugih podatkov, je Komisija sklenila, da bi bila zunanja referenčna vrednost, pojasnjena v uvodni izjavi 362 v nadaljevanju, tudi najboljša ocena za zadostno premijo v tržnih razmerah.
The complainant alleged that Sinosure provided export credit insurance on preferential terms to producers of the product concerned.
Komisija je tudi ugotovila, da so subvencije, zagotovljene v okviru programa zavarovanja izvoza, specifične, saj jih ne bi bilo mogoče pridobiti brez izvoza, zato so pogojene z opravljanjem izvoza v smislu člena 4(4)(a) osnovne uredbe.
Legal basis
Izračun zneska subvencije
Notice on the Implementation of the Strategy of Promoting Trade through Science and Technology by Utilising Export Credit Insurance (Shang Ji Fa[2004] No. 368), issued jointly by MOFCOM and Sinosure.
Znesek subvencije, proti kateri se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi, se izračuna glede na ugodnosti za prejemnike, ki so bile ugotovljene v OP.
Notice on Issuing the 2006 Export Catalogue of High-Tech Products of China, Guo Ke Fa Ji Zi [2006] No. 16.
V skladu s členom 6(c) osnovne uredbe se ugodnost za prejemnike obravnava kot razlika med zneskom premije, ki ga družba plača za kratkoročno zavarovanje, ki ga zagotovi družba Sinosure, in zneskom premije, ki bi ga družba plačala za primerljivo zavarovanje izvoznih kreditov, ki se lahko pridobi na trgu.
Findings of the investigation
Ker družba Sinosure predstavlja približno 90 % domačega trga za zavarovanje izvoza v LRK, Komisija ni našla zavarovalne premije za domači trg.
Three out of five sampled groups of exporting producers had outstanding export insurance agreements with Sinosure during the IP.
Zato je v skladu s prejšnjo prakso uporabila najprimernejšo zunanjo referenčno vrednost, za katero so bile na voljo informacije, tj. premijske stopnje, ki jih je Izvozno-uvozna banka Združenih držav Amerike uporabljala za nefinančne institucije za izvoz v države OECD.
As outlined in recital (157) Sinosure partially responded to the specific questionnaire concerning export credit insurance provided to the sampled exporting producers.
Vračila premij za zavarovanje izvoza, prejeta v OP, so se štela kot nepovratna sredstva.
However, as mentioned in recitals (156) to (162) above, Sinosure failed to provide the supporting documentation requested concerning its corporate governance, such as its Annual Report or its Articles of Association.
Ker ni bilo dokazov o dodatnih stroških proizvajalcev izvoznikov, za katere bi bila potrebna prilagoditev, je bila ugodnost izračunana kot celotni znesek vračila, prejetega v OP.
During the verification visit at the GOC, Sinosure was also present and confirmed that it is fully State-owned.
Družba Yadea je zahtevala pojasnilo o izračunu ugodnosti in trdila, da bi bilo treba ugodnost izračunati na podlagi kapitala, za katerega je bilo pri izgubi dejansko prejeto nadomestilo, če je ta nižji od zavarovanega kapitala.
In addition, Sinosure did not provide any specific information about the export credit insurance provided to the electric bicycle industry, the level of its premiums or detailed figures relating to the profitability of its export credit insurance business.
Zahtevala je tudi pojasnila o tem, ali je Komisija pri svojem izračunu uporabila „imunitetni količnik“.
Therefore, the Commission had to complement the information provided with facts available.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da je bila ugodnost izračunana po metodologiji, opisani v uvodni izjavi 362.
According to Sinosure's reply to the questionnaire, Sinosure is a State-owned policy insurance company established and supported by the State to support the PRC's foreign economic and trade development and cooperation.
Kar zadeva ugodnost, je Komisija menila, da jo je treba izračunati na podlagi zavarovanega kapitala, ki je tudi podlaga za izračun premije, ki jo je plačala družba Yadea, kot je poročala v izpolnjenem vprašalniku.
The company is 100 % owned by the State.
Poleg tega je treba opozoriti, da ni bil uporabljen nikakršen imunitetni količnik.
It has a board of directors and a board of supervisors.
Znesek subvencije, za vzorčene proizvajalce izvoznike določene v zvezi s to shemo v OP, je:
The Government has the power to appoint and dismiss the company's senior managers.
Preglednica 2
Based on the reply to the questionnaire, as well as the information provided during the verification visit, the Commission concluded that there is formal indicia of government control with respect to Sinosure.
Stopnja subvencije
On this basis, the Commission concluded that the GOC has created a normative framework that had to be adhered to by the managers and supervisors appointed by the GOC and accountable to the GOC.
Zagotavljanje blaga s strani vlade za plačilo, ki je nižje od primernega
Therefore, the GOC relied on the normative framework in order to exercise control in a meaningful way over the conduct of Sinosure.
Zagotavljanje surovin (električnih motorjev in baterij) za plačilo, ki je nižje od primernega
The Commission also sought concrete proof of the exercise of control in a meaningful way on the basis of concrete insurance agreements.
Uvod
During the verification visit, Sinosure maintained that in practice its premiums were market-oriented and based on risk assessment principles.
Pritožnik je očital, da je industrija električnih koles prejela vhodne materiale (tj. baterije, motorje in druge dele koles, ki so že ali pa še niso sestavljeni) za plačilo, ki je nižje od primernega.
However, no specific examples with respect to the electric bicycles industry or the sampled exporting producers were provided.
Komisija je v okviru preiskave preverila informacije o domačih nakupih delov električnih koles (baterij in motorjev), ki so jih opravili vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki.
Due to the only partial information provided by Sinosure, the Commission could also not establish any specific behaviour of Sinosure with regard to the insurance provided to the sampled exporting producers which would have enabled the Commission to determine whether Sinosure was acting based on market principles.
Hkrati je proučila cenovno politiko edinega sodelujočega domačega dobavitelja teh delov, tj. družbe Bafang, ki je razkrila, da so mu bili ti deli zagotovljeni po nižjih cenah na domačem trgu, kot pa veljajo za izvoz.
In this respect, the Commission was also unable to assess whether the premiums Sinosure charged were sufficient to cover the cost of the claims and the overhead expenses of Sinosure.
Kakor je podrobneje opisano v uvodnih izjavah od 163 do 173 zgoraj, kitajska vlada ni sodelovala glede dobaviteljev surovin na kitajskem domačem trgu in ni hotela podati pojasnil ali bistvenih informacij o domačem trgu baterij ali motorjev.
In addition, the Commission found that some of the exporting producers benefited from a partial or total refund of the export credit insurance premiums paid to Sinosure.
Zato se je Komisija pri sklepih morala opreti na razpoložljiva dejstva v skladu s členom 28 osnovne uredbe.
Therefore, the Commission concluded that the legal framework set out above is being implemented by Sinosure in the exercise of governmental functions with respect to the electrical bicycles sector, thereby acting as a public body in the sense of Article 2(b) of the basic Regulation read in conjunction with Article 3(1)(a)(i) of the basic Regulation.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so nekateri dobavitelji delov vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov podjetja v državni lasti ali člani združenja CBA.
Furthermore, due to its partial cooperation, Sinosure could not demonstrate that it acted under normal market conditions and that it did not provide benefits to the sampled exporting producers, notably that the insurance was provided at rates that were not below the minimum fee needed for Sinosure to cover its operational costs.
Družbe, ki so članice združenja CBA, imajo nekatere obveznosti glede izvajanja politike kitajske vlade v industriji električnih koles.
In the absence of other data, the Commission concluded that the external benchmark explained in recital (362) below would also be the best estimate for sufficient premium under market conditions.
Komisija je zato analizirala znane politike kitajske vlade, ki se nanašajo na motorje in baterije, zlasti pa, ali bi bilo na podlagi tega in na podlagi morebitnih drugih razpoložljivih informacij mogoče take politike kitajske vlade razumeti tako, da je dobaviteljem motorjev ali baterij zaupano, naj domačim proizvajalcem električnih koles prodajajo po ugodnejših pogojih.
The Commission further determined that the subsidies provided under the export insurance programme are specific, because they could not be obtained without exporting and are thus export contingent within the meaning of Article 4(4)(a) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je nazadnje analizirala, ali so kitajski dobavitelji motorjev in baterij od kitajske vlade posledično prejeli ugodnosti.
Calculation of the subsidy amount
Kakor je poudarjeno v uvodni izjavi 164, kitajska vlada kljub prošnji znanim dobaviteljem na Kitajskem ni poslala posebnih vprašalnikov, namenjenih dobaviteljem delov električnih koles.
The amount of countervailable subsidy is calculated in terms of the benefit conferred on the recipients, which is found to exist during the IP.
Po njenih navedbah ni bila pristojna za zahtevanje informacij od dobaviteljev delov električnih koles, saj ti delujejo neodvisno od kitajske vlade.
According to Article 6(c) of the basic Regulation the benefit conferred on the recipients is considered to be the difference between the amount of the premium that the company pays on the short-term insurance provided by Sinosure and the amount of the premium that the company would pay for comparable export-credit insurance obtainable on the market.
Prav tako kitajska vlada ni predložila seznama kitajskih dobaviteljev delov električnih koles v preiskavi in njihove lastniške strukture, češ da so to zaupne informacije.
Since Sinosure represents around 90 % of the domestic market for export insurance in the PRC, the Commission could not find a market-based domestic insurance premium.
Poleg tega ni predložila podrobnih informacij o značilnostih kitajskega domačega trga vhodnih materialov električnih koles.
In line with previous practice, the Commission thus used the most appropriate external benchmark, for which information was readily available, i.e. the premium rates applied by the Export-Import Bank (‘Ex-Im Bank’) of the United States of America to non-financial institutions for exports to OECD countries.
Na primer delež podjetij v državni lasti v domači proizvodnji in porabi, velikost domačega trga, politike oblikovanja cen države in/ali podjetij v državni lasti, dejanske cene vhodnih materialov na domačem trgu, izvozne ali uvozne omejitve ali ustrezni statistični podatki.
The refunds of export insurance premiums awarded during the IP were treated as a grant.
Kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 50, je le en dobavitelj delov koles (družba Bafang), ki je vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom zagotavljal surovine, predložil informacije glede svojih dejavnosti in tako na lastno pobudo sodeloval v tej preiskavi.
Since there was no evidence of additional costs incurred by the exporting producers for which an adjustment would be needed, the benefit was calculated as the full amount of the refund received in the IP.
Ker Komisija od kitajske vlade ni prejela informacij zlasti o strukturi domačega trga, mehanizmih določanja cen in cenah ter lastniških deležih družb, je menila, da ni prejela bistvenih informacij, pomembnih za preiskavo.
Yadea requested clarification on the calculation of the benefit and claimed that the benefit should be calculated on the basis of the capital actually compensated, in case of loss, if this is lower than the capital insured.
Sodelujoči dobavitelj je eden glavnih kitajskih proizvajalcev motorjev, namenjenih industriji električnih koles.
Yadea also requested clarifications on whether the Commission had applied any ‘immunity ratio’ to its calculation.
Isti dobavitelj je industriji električnih koles tudi prodajal motorje in baterije.
In this regard, it should be noted that the benefit was computed according to the methodology laid down in recital (362).
Preiskava je pokazala, da je družba izvažala enakovredne modele motorjev in baterij po različnih cenah glede na trg in da je na domačem trgu motorje nenehno prodajala po precej nižjih cenah kot za izvoz.
As far as the benefit is concerned, the Commission considered that it should be calculated on the capital insured, which is also the basis for the calculation of the premium paid by Yadea as reported in its questionnaire reply.
Kot je navedeno v oddelku 3.2 zgoraj, je Komisija kitajsko vlado obvestila, da bo glede informacij o dobaviteljih motorjev, baterij in krmilnih enot ter drugih delov električnih koles morda morala v skladu s členom 28(1) osnovne uredbe ugotovitve sprejeti na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev, ker od dobaviteljev vhodnih materialov ni prejela izpolnjenih vprašalnikov in ker od kitajske vlade v zvezi s tem ni prejela nobenih informacij.
Furthermore, it should be noted that no immunity ratio was applied.
Komisija je kitajski vladi dala priložnost, da poda pripombe.
