In particular, the Commission has found that two product categories, namely category 3 and 4, present distinct characteristics for which the claims are acceptable.
V zvezi s tem so mikroekonomske simulacije prispevka iztovorjenega uvoza v Unijo k marži, ki jih je predlagala industrija Unije in jih je Komisija predstavila v začasni fazi, ključnega pomena za razpravo o poslovnem ravnanju izvoznika, ki se sooča z zgoraj navedeno izbiro med prodajo na trgu ZDA po plačilu tarif iz oddelka 232 in alternativnim postopnim izvozom v Unijo, ki presega njegovo tradicionalno prodajo, da bi se izognil takemu plačilu.
Category 4 – corrosion resistant sheets – include both products produced specifically for the automotive industry, based on precise product specifications and subject to long term contracts, and other standard products.
V nasprotju s pripombami nekaterih strani so predpostavke v simulacijah realne in konservativne.
For the former products, suppliers need first to obtain a certification necessary to supply the industry over a long time period, based on a just-in-time system.
Ne temeljijo večinoma na kitajskih stroških.
For this product category, the Commission acknowledges that there is a risk that some specific product types are crowded out from the free of duty quota by standard products that can be massively supplied and stockpiled at the beginning of the year.
Najpomembnejši del stroškov, uporabljenih pri simulaciji, je košarica surovin, vrednotena po mednarodnih cenah.
Furthermore, the standard types of products under this product category are currently subject to anti-dumping duties, which also have an impact on future import developments as well as quota allocation, based on what is explained above.
Kitajske referenčne vrednosti se uporabljajo le za sorazmerno majhen delež pomožnih spremenljivih stroškov poleg surovin, ker je Kitajska eden od najpomembnejših izvoznikov za vse kategorije izdelkov.
The fact that these more specialised products were not covered in the industry's request for anti-dumping measures is also an indication that these products should be considered separately from the standard types of products.
Poleg tega je izbira stroškov prevoza iz Kitajske v Unijo za izračun iztovorjenih stroškov zelo konservativna predpostavka v izračunu, saj bi bila v primeru, da bi bili uporabljeni nižji stroški za prevoz iz drugih možnih virov porekla, stopnja prispevka k marži višja.
As far as category 3 – electrical sheets – is concerned, the relevant user industry also claimed that some specialised products, i.e. non-grain oriented electrical sheets, should be separated from other products in this category.
Te simulacije omogočajo izračun dejanske ravni tarife zunaj kvote, ki lahko odvrača od preusmeritve trgovine.
This claim is based on the fact that these product types are strategic for the Union economy, as they are used in the new energy/mobility sectors (e.g. new energy vehicles, wind turbines).
Kot je pojasnjeno v uredbi o začasnih ukrepih, te simulacije kažejo, da prispevek k marži od prodaje za izvoznika jekla v Unijo v številnih najbolj reprezentativnih kategorijah izdelkov iz jekla, ki so predmet preiskave, znaša več kot 30 %, pri čemer je mediana 34 %.
Users and importers claim that these products are high-value, specialty products, with the risk that they are crowded out by standard products included in the same product category.
Samo tarife nad kvoto na teh ravneh bi lahko v celoti izravnale prispevek zadevnega uvoza jekla na trg Unije k marži, s čimer za izvoznika v ZDA ne bi bilo več spodbude, da preusmeri prodajo na trg Unije, saj bi zaradi tarife to postalo negospodarno.
In addition, users also claimed that the Union demand is likely to increase significantly in the near future and that the specific quota should be increased accordingly in the future.
Na podlagi tega se je Unija odločila, da bo sprejela najmanj motečo stopnjo tarife nad kvoto v višini 25 %, ki predstavlja spodnjo mejo različnih možnosti, o katerih se je razpravljalo.
Even though the latter claim could not be duly supported by any evidence, a separate quota for these products would allow examining further duly substantiated requests in the future.
Kot je pojasnjeno, ta stopnja tarife nad kvoto ne zagotavlja popolne zaščite Unije pred celotno preusmeritvijo trgovine.
The Commission further considers that, without undermining whatsoever the remedial effect of the measure, it is possible to create sub-sets of products within these two existing product categories, which would accordingly be allocated their own quota.
Nasprotno, s tem ne bo mogoče le omogočiti prostega pretoka tradicionalnega uvoza, temveč bodo poleg tega navedene stopnje tarife nad kvoto omogočile tudi, da bo kljub plačilu tarife na trgu Unije še vedno možen omejen delež prodaje preusmerjene trgovine, tudi če so presežene tradicionalne ravni trgovanja, da bi se tako zadostilo pričakovanemu povečanju povpraševanja.
On the basis of the above, the Commission accepted the claims to split product category 4 (metallic coated sheets) and product category number 3 (electrical sheets (other than GOES)) into two sub-categories.
Kar zadeva pripombe zainteresiranih strani o uporabi enotnega makroekonomskega modela, ki zajema vse kategorije izdelka skupaj, namesto da bi uporabili bolj razčlenjeno analizo modela, Komisija, kot je bilo pojasnjeno v začasni fazi in v oddelku 2, meni, da je glede na visoko stopnjo medsebojne povezanosti med kategorijami izdelkov z vidika ponudbe in povpraševanja taka celovita ocena v celoti primerna, zlasti če so sprejete konservativne vrednosti elastičnosti.
Review clause
Komisija je v začasni uredbi navedla, da bo pozorno spremljala razvoj uvoza, preden bo sprejela končno stališče.
Finally, the Commission considers that, based on the Union interest, it may have to adjust the level or allocation of the tariff-rate quota as set out in Annexes IV.1 and IV.2 in case of changes of circumstances during the period of imposition of the measures.
Statistični podatki ZDA in Unije o uvozu izdelkov iz jekla v preiskavi kažejo, da se je kljub pomembnemu zvišanju cen na ameriškem trgu z ukrepi iz oddelka 232 uvoz v ZDA v zadnjih šestih mesecih od maja 2018 znatno trajno zmanjšal, hkrati pa se je v istem obdobju rast uvoza istih kategorij izdelkov iz jekla v Unijo postopno povečala.
Such review could concern any product category subject to measures, including (but not limited) to the product categories 3, 4, 6 and 16 that were subject to detailed and substantiated submissions during the investigation as well as in the context of the bilateral consultations held by the Commission.
Od maja do septembra 2018 se je uvoz iz ZDA za kategorije izdelkov v preiskavi zmanjšal za 2,6 milijona ton glede na isto obdobje leta 2017, medtem ko se je uvoz enakih izdelkov v EU v istem obdobju močno povečal, in sicer za 2 milijona ton (77 % zmanjšanja v ZDA).
The changed circumstances could, for example, materialise in the case of an overall increase or contraction in Union demand for some product categories that would require a reassessment of the level of the tariff-rate quota, the imposition of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures that may significantly affect future import developments, or even any development concerning the US Section 232 that may have a direct impact on the conclusions of this investigation, namely in terms of trade diversion.
To je jasen trend naraščanja.
The Commission may also review whether the operation of the measures could have detrimental effects in achieving the integration objectives pursued with preferential trading partners, such as substantially risking their stabilisation or economic development.
Ti podatki jasno kažejo, da so načrtovani učinki zaščitnih ukrepov iz oddelka 232 zakona ZDA za zmanjšanje uvoza jekla v višini 13,3 milijona ton od leta 2017 v polnem teku.
The Commission will carry out an assessment of the situation on a regular basis, and consider a review at least at the end of each year of imposition of measures.
Zato se zdi, da ugotovljeni najnovejši trendi uvoza niso v nasprotju s predpostavkami iz modela, ki je napovedoval možno preusmeritev trgovine v višini približno 70 %, ki bi jo lahko ZDA sčasoma dosegle z ukrepi, ko bodo postopoma začeli veljati vsi njihovi zaščitni učinki.
The Commission shall initiate the first review investigation no later than on 1 July 2019.
Prav tako to ne bi bilo v nasprotju s tem, da bi morala tarifna stopnja nad kvoto znašati več kot 30 %, da bi pred učinki teh ukrepov popolnoma zaščitila trg Unije.
Conclusion on Union Interest
Ta raven prav tako sovpada z zgoraj opisanim rezultatom mikroekonomskih simulacij.
Based on the above considerations, and a careful examination of the various interests at stake, the Commission concludes that the Union interest requires the adoption of definitive safeguard measures under the form of a tariff rate quota, in order to prevent further deterioration in the situation of the Union producers.
V skladu s tem se je Komisija odločila, da potrdi 25-odstotno stopnjo tarife nad kvoto, ki je nižja in najmanj moteča možnost za preusmeritev trgovine, ki je posledica ukrepov iz oddelka 232 zakona ZDA.
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
Upravljanje tarifnih kvot
It is concluded that the Union steel industry is in a situation of threat of serious injury for 26 product categories and that the situation is likely to develop into actual serious injury in the foreseeable future, in the absence of safeguard measures.
Kot je pojasnjeno zgoraj, je na podlagi premislekov v zvezi z interesom Unije in da bi se čim bolj ohranili tradicionalni trgovinski tokovi, najboljši način za zagotovitev optimalne uporabe tarifnih kvot razdelitev tarifnih kvot med države, ki imajo znaten interes za dobavo zadevnega izdelka, drugim pa v kronološkem vrstnem redu datumov, na katere se sprejmejo deklaracije za sprostitev v prosti promet, kot je določeno v Izvedbeni uredbi Komisije (EU) 2015/2447.
It is also concluded that it would be in the Union interest to adopt appropriate measures to avoid a further increase of imports.
Ta način upravljanja zahteva tesno sodelovanje med državami članicami in Komisijo.
Form and level of measures
Ali je blago, uvoženo iz držav v razvoju, upravičeno do izključitve iz tarifne kvote, je odvisno od njegovega porekla.
At provisional stage, the Commission found that a measure in the form of a tariff-rate quota was the best way to reconcile the interests of Union steel producers and users.
Zato je treba uporabiti merila za določanje nepreferencialnega porekla, ki trenutno veljajo v Uniji.
Such a form, if appropriately tuned, would allow to temporarily bringing the imports' increase to a non-injurious level for the Union steel industry, while keeping a suitable choice of supply sources available for its customers in a way that is compatible with a continued competitive functioning of the steel market.
Za namene dokončnih ukrepov se bo, da se bo omogočilo nadaljevanje tradicionalnih trgovinskih tokov, določila posebna kvota za vsako od kategorij izdelkov, za katere ta uredba določa dokončne ukrepe.
Based on the above Union interest analysis, the Commission considers that a tariff-rate quota is indeed the best form of measure to balance the various interest at stake, namely preventing serious injury and ensuring that traditional trade flows are maintained.
Veljavni protidampinški in protisubvencijski ukrepi
In the comments received by the Commission after provisional measures, although the majority of steel users contested their adoption, they also provided useful suggestions to modulate them and minimize their negative impacts on the market.
Po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov je več uporabnikov in uvoznikov ponovilo svoje trditve, da proizvajalci Unije zaradi obstoječih protidampinških in protisubvencijskih ukrepov ne potrebujejo dodatne zaščite, ter da se v vsakem primeru zaščitni in protidampinški/protisubvencijski ukrepi ne bi smeli kumulirati.
Among the comments received, very few concerned the micro simulations and the macro model presented by the Commission to check the proportionality of the off-quota tariff level.
Komisija opozarja, da se protidampinškimi in izravnalnimi ukrepi ne poskuša zapreti trg Unije, temveč se le poskušajo odpraviti škodljive trgovinske prakse.
As to the macro model, an association of exporters in a third country criticised that the elasticities used in the Armington model for the overall set of product categories differ from those used in certain more disaggregated studies of specific steel product categories; however these parties did not propose any alternative levels for the overall calculation.
Zato so ti ukrepi usmerjeni v primere dampinga in subvencioniranja za posamezne države, imajo različen obseg uporabe in namen kot zaščitni ukrepi, ki jih določa ta uredba, in se medsebojno ne izključujejo.
The same association also claimed that the Commission had ignored the significant increase in the price levels in the US market, which continues to attract imports despite the Section 232 measures.
Vendar, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 117 začasne uredbe, Komisija priznava, da bi kumulacija protidampinških/protisubvencijskih ukrepov z zaščitnimi ukrepi lahko privedla do večjega učinka, kot je zaželeno.
Concerning the micro simulations, an Union users association and several exporters contended that the benchmarking of micro simulations had only been made with respect to a limited number of product categories, whereas the measures covered a larger set; they also criticised that the calculations were reportedly based on the costs of Chinese producers which could not be considered as representative of all import sources.
Ker bi to vprašanje kumulacije lahko nastalo šele, ko bi dosegli zgornje meje tarifnih kvot, bo Komisija pozneje in pravočasno preučila potrebo po obravnavi tega vprašanja.
Several exporters claimed that the Commission has not sufficiently explained the use of the abovementioned models and that the fixing of a 25 % off-quota tariff based on that basis is arbitrary.
Da bi se izognili uvedbi „dvojnih ukrepov“, kadar je tarifna kvota presežena, lahko Komisija v tem okviru meni, da je treba ukiniti ali zmanjšati raven obstoječih protidampinških in izravnalnih dajatev, da se zagotovi, da skupni učinek teh ukrepov ne bo presegel najvišje ravni veljavnih zaščitnih ali protidampinških/izravnalnih dajatev.
The Commission considers that both the micro simulations and the macro model are stylisations of the reality but, contrary to some comments, they are means that allow a technical discussion of alternative scenarios to make policy decision grounded on facts rather than on arbitrary judgements.
Trajanje
The Commission would like to stress that the 25 off-quota tariff fixed by the Commission at the provisional measures' stage intends to deal with a significant increase of steel imports into the Union, which in the most recent period has speeded as a result of the global 25 % tariff that the US have imposed on steel imports (with a limited number of origin exceptions subjected to very restrictive quotas) and the 50 % tariff on Turkish imports.
Ker ukrepi trajajo že več kot eno leto, morajo biti postopno liberalizirani v rednih časovnih presledkih v obdobju uporabe.
The express aim intended by the US with their measures is to achieve the industrial policy objective of artificially reducing the level of steel imports by 13,3 million metric tons, which will in turn enable the US steel industry to operate at an 80 % capacity utilization rate.
Komisija meni, da je najprimernejši način za liberalizacijo ukrepov zvišanje stopnje dajatev prostih kvot za 5 % po vsakem letu.
Contrary to the views of a few interested parties, it is against this backdrop that a 25 % level Union off-quota tariff rate is not arbitrary but appears to be fully proportionate measure and perfectly consistent with the objective to protect the Union steel market against a surge of imports, which in the recent period originates to a large extent in the trade deviation that the US protectionist measures are producing.
Nadzor nad izdelki iz jekla
In fact, worldwide steel exporters confronted with a 25 % or 50 % tariff or with restrictive quotas in the US could redirect their exports to the Union above the level of their traditional sales and produce injury to the Union steel industry if there is not a sufficiently deterring hurdle in the Union when imports start exceeding their traditional levels.
Nadzorni ukrepi v zvezi z izdelki iz jekla, ki so predmet te preiskave, so bili uvedeni aprila 2016, ker je bilo videti, da bi lahko trend uvoza povzročil resno škodo.
It is important to highlight here again that, whereas the tariffs under the Section 232 measures are levied from the first import and therefore seriously distort import trade inflows downwards, the Union tariff-rate quota allows the continued entry of imports from all origins without additional hurdles and only produce effects if the relevant quotas representing the traditional flow of imports from every origin are exceeded, notably because of the trade diversion produced by the US measures.
Glede na ugotovitve te preiskave in uvedbo dokončnih zaščitnih ukrepov Komisija meni, da bi bilo treba nadzorni sistem za izdelke iz jekla, za katere veljajo zaščitni ukrepi, ustaviti v obdobju uvedbe zaščitnih ukrepov.
In these circumstances, unless the Union imposes an above quota tariff on the relevant steel imports of an amount at least equal to the tariff applied by the US, the exporter to the US will gain extra margin or minimise the loss thereof by redirecting sales to the EU.
IZKLJUČITEV NEKATERIH DRŽAV IZ PODROČJA UPORABE DOKONČNIH UKREPOV
This analysis indicates that the lower end of the off-quota tariff level capable of ensuring a minimal protection of the Union against the trade diversion should at least be 25 %.
V skladu s členom 18 Uredbe (EU) 2015/478 in mednarodnimi obveznostmi Unije se začasni ukrepi ne bi smeli uporabljati za izdelke s poreklom iz države v razvoju, ki je članica STO, če delež uvoza tega izdelka iz te države v Unijo ne presega 3 %, pod pogojem, da države v razvoju, ki so članice STO in katerih delež izvoza v Unijo je manjši od 3 %, skupaj ne dosegajo več kot 9 % celotnega izvoza zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
However, this level will not stop trade diversion.
Končna ugotovitev Komisije kaže, da zadevne kategorije izdelkov, ki izvirajo iz nekaterih držav v razvoju, izpolnjujejo zahteve za upravičenost do zgoraj navedenega odstopanja.
As import prices are pushed upwards in the US by protectionist measures, an important proportion of US steel production that previously was uneconomic becomes profitable, displacing imports and diverting trade towards other markets, being the Union the most attractive alternative destination.
V Prilogi III.2 (Seznam kategorij izdelkov s poreklom iz držav v razvoju, za katere se uporabljajo dokončni ukrepi) so navedene države v razvoju za namene te uredbe.
In this context, the micro economic simulations of the contribution margin of landed Union imports proposed by the Union industry and presented at provisional stage by the Commission are key to discuss the commercial behaviour of an exporter confronted with the above-mentioned choice of selling on the US market after payment of the Section 232 tariffs or alternatively exporting incrementally to the Union beyond its traditional sales to avoid such payment.
Prav tako so za vsako od 26 kategorij izdelkov navedene države v razvoju, za katere se uporabljajo začasni ukrepi.
Contrary to the comments made by some parties, the assumptions made in the simulations are realistic and conservative.
Komisija meni, da je primerno izračunati obseg uvoza iz držav v razvoju na podlagi statističnih podatkov na voljo v zadnjem obdobju za vsako kategorijo izdelka, saj je tarifna kvota določena tudi s sklicevanjem na tradicionalne trgovinske tokove za vsako kategorijo posebej.
They are not mainly based on Chinese costs.
Ker bi se morala izključitev držav v razvoju, ki so članice STO, uporabljati, dokler njihov delež uvoza v Unijo ne preseže 3 %, bo Komisija redno ocenjevala razmere, in sicer vsaj ob koncu vsakega leta uvedbe ukrepov, da bi preverila, ali je katera koli država presegla zgoraj navedeni prag, in bi jo bilo treba sčasoma vključiti v področje uporabe zaščitnih ukrepov.
The most important component of the costs used in the simulation is a raw material basket valued at international prices.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 80 začasne uredbe, Komisija glede na tesno povezovanje trgov s članicami EGP, skupno vrednost uvoza iz teh držav in majhno tveganje preusmeritve trgovine meni, da bi morali biti izdelki, ki se ocenjujejo, s poreklom iz Norveške, Islandije in Lihtenštajna izključeni iz uporabe te uredbe.
Chinese benchmarks are only used for a comparatively lower proportion of ancillary variable costs on top of the raw materials, on account that China is one of the most prominent exporters across product categories.
Poleg tega bi bilo treba zaradi izpolnitve dvostranskih obveznosti nekatere države, s katerimi je Unija podpisala sporazum o gospodarskem partnerstvu, ki je trenutno v veljavi, izključiti iz uporabe te uredbe.
Finally, the choice of freight costs from China to the Union to calculate the landed cost is a very conservative assumption in the calculation, since if lower freight costs of other possible origins were used the contribution margin would be higher.
Po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov Komisija ni prejela nobenih pripomb, ki bi privedle do spremembe teh sklepov, ki se zato potrdijo.
These simulations allow calculating the actual level of the out-of-quota tariff capable of deterring trade diversion.
OBVEZNOSTI, KI IZHAJAJO IZ DVOSTRANSKIH SPORAZUMOV MED UNIJO IN TRETJIMI DRŽAVAMI.
As explained in the provisional measures' regulation, these simulations show that the contribution to the margin of the sales for an exporter of steel to the Union in a large variety of the most representative steel product categories under investigation are in excess of 30 % with a median of 34 %.
Komisija je zagotovila, da so zaščitni ukrepi, sprejeti v skladu s to uredbo, skladni tudi z obveznostmi, ki izhajajo iz dvostranskih sporazumov, podpisanih z nekaterimi tretjimi državami.
Only above-quota tariffs at these levels would be able to completely offset the contribution to the margin of the relevant steel imports into the Union market and this way remove the incentive for an exporter to the US to redirect diverted sales to the Union market as with this tariff they become uneconomic.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da se je uvoz iz nekdanje jugoslovanske republike Makedonije v Unijo v obdobju preiskave znatno povečal in prispeval k tveganju za nastanek resne škode, ki jo je utrpela jeklarska industrija Unije.
Against this background, the Union has chosen to adopt the least disruptive above quota tariff level of 25 %, which is at the lower end among the range of options discussed above.
Ta uvoz zato izpolnjuje pogoje, ki so potrebni za sprejetje zaščitnih ukrepov v skladu s členom 37(1) Stabilizacijsko-pridružitvenega sporazuma med Evropskimi skupnostmi in njihovimi državami članicami in Nekdanjo jugoslovansko republiko Makedonijo.
As explained, this above quota tariff level does not grant full protection shielding the Union completely against trade diversion.
Na podlagi obsega in ugotovitev preiskave se prav tako šteje, da obstajajo resne motnje v jeklarskem sektorju ter da so zato zaščitni ukrepi upravičeni tudi v skladu s členom 26 Sporazuma, sklenjenega med Evropsko gospodarsko skupnostjo in Švicarsko konfederacijo leta 1972.
