The Commission disagrees with these views and considers that, given the high interrelation and interconnection between the product categories as explained in Section 2.1, it is sufficient to demonstrate the existence of unforeseen developments globally.
Kar zadeva povečanje sprejetja omejevalnih trgovinskih ukrepov, je več strani trdilo, da jih ni mogoče obravnavati kot nepredvidene dogodke, saj gre za priznane izjeme od splošnih pravil STO, in da se je število ukrepov instrumenta trgovinske zaščite, uvedenih leta 2017, zmanjšalo.
As far as overcapacity is concerned, several interested parties claimed that overcapacity is well-known to the Commission and could not be considered as an unforeseen development.
Trdile so tudi, da povezava med povečanjem uvoza in nepredvidenim razvojem omejevalnih trgovinskih ukrepov ni bila vzpostavljena.
They also claimed that the Commission had previously linked the injury suffered by the Union industry to dumped or subsidized imports and that the link between the increase in imports and the unforeseen development of steel overcapacity had not been established.
Komisija se ne strinja s takimi trditvami, saj dejstvo, da so omejevalni trgovinski ukrepi sprejeti v okviru pravil STO ne pomeni, da jih ni mogoče obravnavati kot nepredviden razvoj.
In this regard, it should first be noted that, as provided in Figure 2.3 of the Global Trade Alert report ‘Going Spare: Steel, Excess Capacity, and Protectionism’, the world crude steel excess capacity decreased from 2009 to 2011 before following an opposite trend from 2011 to 2016.
Komisija ne nasprotuje pravici držav, da v skladu z ustreznimi pravili STO sprejmejo protidampinške ali protisubvencijske ukrepe.
Considering that the total crude steel excess production capacity in 2011 was already well above the total production of that year, it was expected that total crude steel capacity would decrease or at least remain stable in order to improve capacity utilization and cost efficiency.
Vendar je težava v do zdaj največji količini takih ukrepov, ki so jih sprejele tretje države; to je privedlo do preusmeritve trgovine, zaradi česar se je povečal uvoz v EU.
Total crude steel production capacity, however, unexpectedly continued to increase after 2011, generating an additional world excess capacity as confirmed by the Commission in its Communication ‘Steel: Preserving Sustainable Jobs and Growth in Europe’.
Opozoriti je treba, da je Komisija v uvodni izjavi 34 začasne uredbe ugotovila, da se je na podlagi statističnih podatkov STO v obdobju 2011–2013 začelo povprečno 77 preiskav v zvezi z jeklom na leto, to povprečje pa se je v obdobju 2015–2016 povečalo na 117.
Considering the timing of the events described above and more specifically the fact that excess production capacity increased at a time when it was economically expected to decrease, it is concluded that the steel overcapacity should be considered as an unforeseen development.
Nobena stran ni podvomila v te podatke, ki kažejo na nepredviden razvoj, zaradi česar je prišlo do povečanja zgoraj ugotovljenega uvoza.
As far as the causality established in previous investigations tackling unfair trading practices is concerned, reference is made to the above-mentioned Communication, which provides that such investigations are recognized as ‘measures aiming to mitigate the effects of overcapacity’.
Zgornje trditve so bile zato zavrnjene.
On such basis, it is clear that overcapacity is inherently closely linked to dumped and subsidized imports.
Poleg tega je Komisija, kot je potrjeno v nadaljevanju, od sprejetja ukrepov iz oddelka 232 zakona ZDA menila, da je za nekatere kategorije izdelkov preusmeritev trgovine že potekala.
Yet, in anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation, the overcapacity in the steel sector is not examined as an unforeseen development since this requirement is not present in an assessment underlying the imposition of those trade remedy instruments.
V zvezi s tem je treba tudi opozoriti, da se je z ukrepi iz oddelka 232 zakona ZDA pospešilo povečanje uvoza, in sicer tako, da se je že obstoječemu naraščajočemu trendu pridružilo še preusmerjanje trgovine.
As far as the link between the unforeseen development of steel overcapacity and the increase in imports is concerned, it is clear that exporting producers have an interest in maximizing their capacity utilization.
Druge zainteresirane strani so navedle, da se učinek ukrepov iz oddelka 232 zakona ZDA ne bi smel upoštevati ali pa ne bi smel biti precenjen, saj se pri njih uporabljajo številne izključitve izdelkov.
In situations where spare capacity is available after supplying their domestic market, they will seek other business opportunities on export markets and thus generate an increase in import volumes on such markets.
V zvezi s tem se je trdilo, da korejski izvoz ni bil tako obsežen, saj je Koreja od upravnih organov ZDA pridobila dovolj velik obseg izvozne kvote.
On this basis, the above mentioned claims have to be rejected.
V zvezi s temi državami je treba opozoriti, da je bilo veliko število kvot določeno na nič in da so bile ob dodelitvi številne kvote že izčrpane.
As far as the surge of adoption of trade restrictive measures is concerned, several parties claimed that they could not be recognized as unforeseen developments as they are recognized exceptions to the general WTO rules and that the number of trade defence instrument measures imposed in 2017 decreased.
Na podlagi tega se šteje, da ni nikakršnih zagotovil, da bodo dodeljene kvote zadostovale za preprečevanje preusmerjanja trgovine.
The Commission does not contest the right of countries to take anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures according to the relevant WTO rules.
V skladu z globalnim pristopom obsega izdelkov, opredeljenim v tej preiskavi, je bila v začasni fazi na svetovni ravni izvedena tudi analiza škode.
The issue at stake, however, is the unprecedented and increased number of such measures taken by third countries, which have created trade diversion resulting in increase of imports into the EU.
Začasna uredba mestoma ponazarja, da so sklepi o škodi iz globalne analize s primeri potrjeni tudi na ravni kategorije izdelka.
No party has questioned these figures which indicate an unforeseen development, leading to the increase of imports established above.
Vendar je Komisija tako kot pri razvoju uvoza svojo analizo dopolnila z oceno za vsako od treh družin izdelkov iz uvodne izjave 21.
Therefore, the above claims were rejected.
Spodnja analiza škode temelji na izpolnjenih vprašalnikih, ki jih je predložila industrija Unije.
Other interested parties indicated that even the imports that took place from January 2018 to March 2018 are not affected by the US Section 232 measures.
Globalni razvoj položaja jeklarske industrije Unije
In this regard, it should first be noted that while the US Section 232 measures were effectively introduced on 8 March 2018, the investigation that led to their adoption was already initiated in April 2017 and the report on which basis they were decided was issued on 11 January 2018.
Potrošnja, domača prodaja in tržni deleži
Moreover, as further confirmed below, since the adoption of the US Section 232 measures, the Commission considered that trade diversion was already taking place with regard to some product categories.
Na tej podlagi so se potrošnja Unije, prodaja proizvajalcev Unije in ustrezni tržni delež razvijali, kot je navedeno v nadaljevanju:
It should also be noted, in this respect, that the US Section 232 measures have sped up the increase in imports by adding further trade diversion flows to the prevailing prior increasing trend.
Preglednica 4
As reported in Table 14, available statistics show that, with the exception of April 2018, monthly imports of steel into the US became consistently lower than their corresponding volume in 2017.
Potrošnja, domača prodaja in tržni delež Unije
This coincides with an opposite increasing trend in imports observed in the Union, where, as noted in Table 12, monthly imports volumes were consistently at a higher level than a year before.
Vir: podatki Eurostata in industrije.
Other interested parties indicated that the impact of the Section 232 measures should be disregarded or not be overestimated as they operate subject to many product exclusions.
(v 1000 ton)
In the same context, it was claimed that Korean exports are a non-issue as Korea has secured enough export quota volume from the US administration.
Potrošnja (vse)
In this regard, it should be noted that only Australia was unconditionally exempted from the Section 232 measures and that its imports of the products concerned accounted for around 1 % of total US imports in 2017.
Domača prodaja (vse)
Other countries such as South Korea, Argentina and Brazil were granted a tariff-free quota but were not exempted from the measures.
Tržni delež (vse)
As far as these countries are concerned, it should be noted that a higher number of quotas were set at zero and that numerous quotas were already exhausted upon allocation.
Skupna potrošnja ustreznih 26 kategorij izdelkov se je v obdobju 2013–2017 nenehno povečevala, pri čemer se je skupno povečala za 14 %.
On this basis, it is considered that the allocated quotas give no guarantee that the allocated quota would be sufficient to prevent trade diversion.
Obseg prodaje proizvajalcev industrije Unije se je v tem obdobju povečal, vendar v precej manjšem obsegu kot potrošnja Unije, tj. le za 7 %.
Furthermore, on the basis of available statistics, it appears that these three countries accounted for less than 20 % of the total 2017 imports.
Skupni tržni delež industrije Unije se je zato v obravnavanem obdobju nenehno zmanjševal, in sicer je padel za 5,4 odstotne točke.
Therefore, the relevant claims on quotas were rejected.
Proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost, stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti in zaloge
Considering the above, it is confirmed that the unforeseen developments described in recital (49) have lead and will further lead to a clear increase of the steel imports into the Union.
Proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost in stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti ter zaloge so se razvijale, kot je navedeno v nadaljevanju:
THREAT OF SERIOUS INJURY
Preglednica 5
In line with the global product scope approach defined in this investigation, at provisional stage, the injury analysis was also made globally.
Proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, zaloge
Occasionally, the provisional Regulation illustrated that the conclusions on injury under the global analysis were corroborated also at product category level by way of examples.
Vir: podatki industrije in izpolnjeni vprašalniki.
Likewise, the injury assessment at the definitive stage has been conducted on a global basis, namely for the product concerned under assessment, thereby including the 26 product categories where the Commission found an increase in imports.
Proizvodnja (vse)
However, as in the evolutions of imports, the Commission supplemented its analysis with an assessment for each of the three product families referred to in recital (21) above.
Proizvodna zmogljivost (vse)
The injury analysis below is based on the questionnaire replies submitted by the Union industry.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti (vse)
Following receipt of more up-to-date information and the verification of the data, the injury indicators described at provisional stage were updated where appropriate in order to include the most recent (2018) data.

Global development of the situation of the Union steel industry
Obseg proizvodnje zadevnega izdelka, ki se ocenjuje, se je v obravnavanem obdobju na splošno povečal za 5 %.
Consumption, domestic sales and market shares
Proizvodna zmogljivost je ostala stabilna, zato se je izkoriščenost zmogljivosti v obdobju 2013–2017 na splošno povečala za 4 odstotne točke.
The Commission established the Union consumption by adding to the sales in the Union of the Union producers, the imports from all countries, excluding imports from members of the EEA and from certain countries with which the Union has signed an Economic Partnership Agreement that is currently in force (see recital (30) above).
Zaloge sodelujočih proizvajalcev industrije Unije so se v obdobju 2013–2017 na splošno povečale za 19 %.
On this basis, Union consumption, sales of Union producers and the corresponding market share developed as follows:

Preverjeni in posodobljeni podatki potrjujejo trend iz začasne uredbe.
Sales volumes of Union industry producers increased over this period, but to a much lesser extent than Union consumption, i.e. by 7 % only.
Cene za vse izdelke na trgu Unije so se do leta 2016 znatno nižale.
The Union industry's overall market share, therefore, decreased consistently during the period considered, by 5,4 percentage points.
Celotni denarni tok industrije Unije se je od leta 2013 do leta 2017 povečal za približno 67 %.

Potrošnja ploščatih izdelkov je bila najvišja leta 2016, nato pa se je leta 2017 rahlo zmanjšala, pri čemer je skupno povečanje znašalo 12 %.
Cash flow (million EUR)
Potrošnja podolgovatih izdelkov in cevi se je nenehno povečevala do konca leta 2017, kar je na splošno pomenilo povečanje za 14 % oziroma 34 %.
Verified and updated figures confirm the trend established in the provisional Regulation.
Prodaja vseh jeklenih izdelkov se je v obdobju 2013–2017 na splošno povečala za 7 %.
For all products, there was significant price depression on the Union market until 2016.
V istem obdobju je bilo za vse tri družine izdelkov ugotovljeno podobno povečanje, vendar manj izrazito kot povečanje v potrošnji: prodaja ploščatih izdelkov s strani proizvajalcev industrije Unije se je povečala za 3 %, prodaja podolgovatih izdelkov za 10 % in prodaja cevi za 26 %.
Prices recovered to their 2013 level thereafter.
Trend celotnega trga industrije Unije (minus 5 odstotnih točk) je bil potrjen pri ločenih analizah ploščatih izdelkov (minus 7 odstotnih točk), podolgovatih izdelkov (minus 3 odstotne točke) in cevi (minus 5 odstotnih točk).
Overall, and despite a significant decrease in prices, the Union industry could reduce its cost of production to achieve a marginal profit level in 2016 and increase it to a more sustainable level in 2017 (5,6 %).
Za vsako od treh družin izdelkov so se proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost in stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti razvijali, kot je navedeno v nadaljevanju:

Razvoj proizvodnje se je razlikoval za vse tri družine izdelkov.
Domestic sales (tubes)
V celotnem obravnavanem obdobju se je proizvodnja ploščatih izdelkov povečala za 5 %, proizvodnja podolgovatih izdelkov pa za 3 %, proizvodnja cevi pa se je zmanjšala, in sicer za 11 %.
Market share (flat)
V vsakem primeru se lahko sprememba proizvodnje šteje za precej stabilno.
Market share (long)
Celotna proizvodna zmogljivost je ostala stabilna.
Market share (tubes)
Ta trend so dosledno potrjevale analize vsake družine izdelkov: za ploščate izdelke (zmanjšanje za 1 %), podolgovate izdelke (povečanje za 1 %) in cevi (povečanje za 1 %) v obravnavanem obdobju.
Consumption for flat products peaked in 2016, then marginally decreased in 2017, showing an overall increase by 12 %.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti se je na splošno povečala za vsako družino izdelkov (ploščati izdelki za 4 odstotne točke, podolgovati izdelki za 1 odstotno točko in cevi za 5 odstotnih točk).
Consumption for long products and tubes increased consistently until the end of 2017, resulting respectively in an overall increase by 14 % and 34 %.
Zaloge za ploščate in podolgovate izdelke so se v obdobju 2013–2017 povečale na podobno raven, medtem ko so se zaloge za cevi skoraj podvojile.
Sales for all steel products increased overall by 7 % in the period 2013-2017.
Preverjeni in posodobljeni podatki tako potrjujejo trend iz začasne uredbe.
During the same period a similar increase, but less pronounced than the increase in consumption, was observed under the three product families: sales of the Union industry producers of flat products increased by 3 %, sales of long products by 10 % and sales of tubes by 26 %.
Za vsako od treh družin izdelkov so se prodajne cene na enoto, dobičkonosnost in denarni tok razvijali, kot je navedeno v nadaljevanju:
The trend of the Union industry's overall market (minus 5 percentage points) was confirmed when analysing separately flat products (minus 7 percentage points), long products (minus 3 percentage points) and tubes (minus 5 percentage points).

Prodajne cene za ploščate izdelke so se do leta 2016 znižale za 14 %, nato pa so se leta 2017 zvišale na raven, višjo od leta 2013 (+5 %).
Stocks (flat)
Prodajna cena na enoto za podolgovate izdelke in cevi se je do leta 2016 prav tako znatno znižala (za 16 % oziroma 17 %), nato pa se je leta 2017 spet nekoliko zvišala.
Stocks (long)
Na splošno so se cene za te izdelke znižale za 4 % oziroma 13 %.
Stocks (tubes)
Kar zadeva dobičkonosnost, (i) je industriji Unije leta 2016 uspelo doseči mejno stopnjo dobička za ploščate izdelke (po izgubah in na pragu pokrivanja stroškov v prejšnjih letih) in leta 2017 svojo dobičkonosnost še povečati na 7,7 %; (ii) je dobičkonosnost podolgovatih izdelkov leta 2014 dosegla 2,1 % in na isti ravni ostala do leta 2017, ko se je povečala na 3,1 %; (iii) se je dobičkonosnost za cevi od leta 2013 močno zmanjšala, in sicer leta 2015 z 1,3 % na – 3,4 %, leta 2016 in 2017 pa je ostala negativna (– 1,2 % oziroma – 1,7 %).
For the three product families the development of the production diverged.
Denarni tok za ploščate in podolgovate izdelke se je izboljšal (za ploščate izdelke se je povečal za 124 %, v veliko manjši meri se je povečal za podolgovate izdelke, tj. samo za 41 %), medtem ko se je denarni tok za cevi leta 2014 znatno zmanjšal, in sicer za 130 %, in je do konca leta 2017 ostal negativen.
Production increased by 5 % for flat products and by 3 % for long products, and decreased for tubes by 11 % during the whole period considered.
Kar zadeva zaposlovanje, so bili še posebej prizadeti proizvajalci ploščatih izdelkov, saj so v navedenem obdobju izgubili skoraj 8600 delovnih mest.
In any event, the production variation can be regarded as rather stable.
Najresnejši položaj se je pojavil v industriji za proizvodnjo cevi, v kateri so v obravnavanem obdobju izgube delovnih mest, izraženo v odstotkih, znašale 12 %.
Overall production capacity remained stable.

This trend was consistently confirmed when analysing each product family: for flat products (decrease by 1 %), long products (increase by 1 %) and tubes (increase by 1 %) in the period considered.
Zaposlovanje glede na družino izdelkov
Capacity utilisation increased overall by for each product family (flat plus 4 percentage points, long plus 1 percentage points and tubes plus 5 percentage points).
