Zagotavljanje motorjev za plačilo, ki je nižje od primernega
Subsidy Rate
Lastništvo in vpliv države pri domačih dobaviteljih motorjev električnih koles
Government provision of goods for less than adequate remuneration
Kakor je podrobneje pojasnjeno v uvodni izjav 404, je najprej treba poudariti, da na kitajskem domačem trgu motorjev močno prevladujejo kitajski domači dobavitelji, ki imajo več kot 90-odstotni tržni delež.
Provision of inputs (electric engines and batteries) for less than adequate remuneration
Ker Komisija od kitajske vlade ni prejela informacij glede števila in lastništva domačih dobaviteljev motorjev za električna kolesa, je najprej analizirala položaj dobaviteljev, o katerih je poročalo pet vzorčenih skupin proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
Introduction
Na podlagi tega je opredelila 10 kitajskih dobaviteljev.
The complainant alleged that the electric bicycle industry received input materials (i.e. batteries, engines and other bicycles parts whether already assembled or not) for less than adequate remuneration.
Med 10 dobavitelji motorjev vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov so bili trije člani Kitajskega združenja za kolesa (združenja CBA), vključno z družbo Bafang, eden pa je bil podjetje v državni lasti.
As part of the investigation, the Commission verified the information on the domestic purchases of electric bicycles parts (batteries and engines) by the sampled exporting producers.
Podjetje v državni lasti in člani združenja CBA so predstavljali 41 % celotne količine, dobavljene vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, in do 66 % celotne vrednosti med OP.
In parallel, the Commission analysed the price behaviour of the only cooperating domestic supplier of these parts, Bafang, which revealed that for this company these parts were provided at lower prices on the domestic market than for export.
Komisija je lahko ugotovila zasebno lastništvo le pri treh od navedenih dobaviteljev (ki so predstavljali 46 % nakupne količine in 29 % nakupne vrednosti), o treh preostalih dobaviteljih (ki so predstavljali 13 % količine in 5 % vrednosti) pa niso bile pridobljene nobene informacije.
As explained in more details in recitals (163) to (173) above, the GOC failed to cooperate with regard to the input suppliers on the Chinese domestic market and refused to provide clarification or crucial information on the domestic market of batteries and engines.
Kakor je opisano v uvodnih izjavah 133 in 134 ter 136 do 139, je združenje CBA v obravnavanem obdobju upravljal državni svet.
Therefore the Commission had to base its conclusions on facts available accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
Člen 3 njegovega statuta prav tako določa, da bo med drugim upoštevalo nacionalne politike.
The investigation showed that some of the suppliers of parts to the sampled exporting producers are SOEs or members of the China Bicycle Association (CBA).
Poleg tega statut združenja CBA članom nalaga nekatere obveznosti, kakor je navedeno v členu 11, ki določa, da morajo člani ravnati v skladu z „nacionalnimi zakoni in predpisi industrije koles“ ter „upoštevati pravila in predpise združenja ter izvajati sklepe združenja“.
As a member of CBA, companies have certain obligations with regard to the implementation of GOC policy in the electrical bicycles industry.
Komisija je na podlagi tega menila, da člane združenja CBA zavezujejo stroge obveznosti do združenja, ki ga poslovno usmerja in nadzoruje komisija državnega sveta za nadzor in upravljanje premoženja v državni lasti.
The Commission therefore analysed known GOC policies relating to engines and batteries and in particular whether on this basis and on the basis of any other information available such GOC policies could be understood as entrusting suppliers of engines or batteries to sell at more advantageous conditions to the domestic manufacturers of electric bicycles.
Posledično se člani združenja CBA, vključno z dobavitelji delov, štejejo za podrejene ključne gospodarske subjekte v industriji koles, ki jim je kitajska vlada zaupala izvajanje nacionalne politike, da se dosežejo širši cilji glede proizvodnje električnih koles.
Finally, the Commission analysed whether as a result Chinese suppliers of engines and batteries received benefits from the GOC.
Komisija je zato te politike dodatno preiskala.
As pointed out in recital (164), although requested to do so, the GOC did not forward the specific questionnaire intended for suppliers of electric bicycles parts to known suppliers in China.
Več strani je trdilo, da je združenje CBA neprofitno združenje, katerega člani so podjetja, raziskovalne enote in lokalna združenja industrije koles, ki so se združenju pridružili prostovoljno.
According to the GOC, it had no authority to request information from the suppliers of electric bicycle parts as they operate independently from the GOC.
Trdile so tudi, da so člani združenja CBA večinoma družbe v zasebni lasti.
In addition, the GOC did not provide a list of Chinese suppliers of electric bicycles parts under investigation and their ownership structure claiming that this was confidential information.
V zvezi s tem je Komisija napotila na uvodni izjavi 166 in 170 zgoraj, kjer je navedeno, da se je morala zanašati na razpoložljiva dejstva, ker kitajska vlada ni hotela predložiti informacij o lastništvu domačih dobaviteljev vhodnih materialov.
Furthermore, the GOC failed to provide detailed information on the characteristics of the domestic market in China of input materials for electric bicycles.
Informacije, ki jih je imela Komisija na voljo, kažejo, da je med člani združenja CBA tudi več družb v državni lasti.
For example the share of State-owned enterprises (‘SOEs’) in the domestic production and consumption, the size of the domestic market, the State's and/or SOEs' pricing policies, actual prices of input materials in the domestic market, export or import restrictions or relevant statistics.
Kitajska vlada je trdila, da Komisija ni dokazala, da je združenje CBA javni organ.
As mentioned in recital (50), only one supplier of bicycles parts (Bafang) which had provided inputs to the sampled exporting producers submitted information concerning its activities and thus cooperated on its own initiative in this investigation.
V zvezi s tem je Komisija napotila na uvodno izjavo 138 in potrdila svoj sklep, da združenje CBA deluje po političnih smernicah „državnega sveta, ministrstva za civilne zadeve in pristojne poslovne enote družbe“ ter pod njihovim nadzorom.
Since the Commission received no information from the GOC in particular on the domestic market structure, on price-setting mechanisms and prices and on the shareholding of companies, the Commission considered that it has not received crucial information relevant to the investigation.
Tako je bilo tudi leta 2016, ko je bil odobren 13. načrt za kolesa.
The cooperating supplier is one of the main Chinese manufacturers of engines destined to electric bicycle industry.
Kitajska vlada je trdila tudi, da je samo tretjina domačih dobaviteljev, ki zagotavljajo motorje vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom električnih koles, družb v državni lasti ali članov združenja CBA.
The same supplier also sold engines and batteries to the electric bicycle industry.
Poleg tega je poudarila, da v skladu z obstoječo sodno prakso lastništvo države ni zadosten dokaz zaupanja in ukazovanja.
The investigation showed that the company exported equivalent models of engines and batteries at different prices depending on the market and that it was consistently selling engines at substantially lower prices on its domestic market than for export.
Komisija je najprej opozorila, da kitajska vlada ni nasprotovala njenim ugotovitvam, da pomemben del domačih dobaviteljev motorjev vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom sestavljajo družbe v državni lasti in/ali člani združenja CBA.
As mentioned in section 3.2 above, the Commission informed the GOC that, given the absence of questionnaire replies from suppliers of input material and in the absence of any information provided by the GOC in this respect, it may have to base its findings on facts available pursuant to Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation as far as the information relating to suppliers of engines, batteries and control units and other electric bicycles parts was concerned.
Čeprav lastništvo države in/ali članstvo v združenju CBA nista zadosten pogoj za dokazovanje zaupanja in ukazovanja, je to zaradi nesodelovanja pomemben element v zvezi s tem.
The Commission provided the GOC with the opportunity to comment.
Poleg tega, da je Komisija v uvodni izjavi 138 zgoraj ponazorila, da so navedeni subjekti sledili vladnim politikam in ciljem, je tudi ugotovila, kot je razvidno iz uvodnih izjav 390 do 412 v nadaljevanju, da je kitajska vlada zaupala in ukazovala domačim dobaviteljem motorjev industriji električnih koles.
The GOC, however,did not provide any comments or any further information or evidence in this respect.
Na podlagi tega so bile te pripombe zavrnjene.
Provision of engines for less than adequate remuneration
Vladne politike in cilji
Ownership and state influence of the domestic suppliers of engines for electric bicycles
Komisija je našla več pravnih virov, ki kažejo na javno podporo industriji motorjev zaradi njenega položaja v dobavni verigi industrije električnih koles.
As developed further in recital (404), it should first be noted that the Chinese domestic market for engines is largely dominated by the Chinese domestic suppliers that have over 90 % market share.
Ti dokumenti zajemajo 12. petletni načrt za industrijo koles in električnih koles, 13. načrt za kolesa, načrt razvoja lahke industrije (2016–2020), obvestilo glavne pisarne občinske vlade Suzhoua o širitvi upravnih ukrepov na posebni sklad za posodobitev občinske industrije in gospodarstva (SU FU BAN 2014-137) ter njeno obvestilo o uporabi programa posebnega občinskega fiskalnega sklada Suzhoua za leto 2016 in občinski načrt razvoja lahke industrije in tekstilnih izdelkov v Tianjinu za 13. petletno obdobje (2016–2020).
In the absence of any information provided by the GOC concerning the number and ownership of domestic suppliers of engines for electric bicycles, the Commission first analysed the situation of the suppliers reported by the sampled five groups of exporting producers.
Ti dokumenti so bili analizirani v oddelku 3.1 zgoraj.
On this basis, the Commission identified 10 Chinese suppliers.
Ti dokumenti poudarjajo potrebo po izboljšanju kakovosti in lastnosti ključnih surovin za proizvajalce električnih koles, katerih del so tudi motorji, in po dopolnitvi dobavne verige industrije koles tako, da se lahko na Kitajskem vzpostavi navpično integrirana in samostojna veriga proizvodnje električnih koles.
Among the 10 suppliers of engines to the sampled exporting producers, three were members of the China Bicycles Association (CBA), including Bafang and one was a SOE.
Ti dokumenti tudi opisujejo različne podporne sheme za proizvajalce električnih koles in njihove dobavitelje, kot so subvencije v obliki preferenčnih posojil in vračil davkov/davčnih oprostitev, kakor je opisano v uvodnih izjavah 105 in 106.
The SOE and the members of CBA represented 41 % of the total quantity supplied to the sampled exporting producers and up to 66 % of the total value during the IP.
Zaupanje in ukazovanje
The Commission could ascertain the private ownership only for three of the other suppliers (accounting for 46 % of the purchase volume and 29 % of the purchase value), while no information was found on the remaining three suppliers (accounting for 13 % of the volume and 5 % of the value).
Na začetku je treba opozoriti, da zaradi delnega nesodelovanja kitajske vlade od dobaviteljev vhodnih materialov, razen družbe Bafang, niso bili prejeti izpolnjeni vprašalniki in da zato Komisija ni imela bistvenih informacij glede domačega trga dobaviteljev motorjev.
As outlined in recitals (133) to (134) and (136) to (139), during the period considered, the CBA was under the management of the State Council.
Posledično se je morala opreti na razpoložljiva dejstva v skladu s členom 28(1) osnovne uredbe, da je lahko prišla do ugotovitev o zaupanju.
Article 3 of its Articles of Association also provide that it shall abide, among others, by national policies.
V zvezi s tem so bile informacije, ki so bile na voljo Komisiji, sestavljene iz informacij, pridobljenih od vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov glede njihovih domačih dobaviteljev motorjev, javno dostopnih informacij, ki se nanašajo na združenje CBA in njegove člane, informacij, pridobljenih od edinega sodelujočega dobavitelja surovin, in iz posebnega poročila o industriji motorjev na Kitajskem, ki ga je predložil pritožnik.
Furthermore, the Articles of Association of the CBA impose certain obligations to its members as reported in Article 11 that provides that members shall comply ‘with national laws and regulations of the bicycle industry’ and ‘abide by the rules and regulations of the Association and implement the resolutions of the Association’.
Kar zadeva dobavitelje vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, je Komisija v uvodni izjavi 382 ugotovila, da so člani združenja CBA, ki so vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom dobavljali motorje, predstavljali 41 % celotne domače količine, dobavljene vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, in do 66 % celotne domače nakupne vrednosti med OP.
On this basis the Commission considered that members of the CBA are bound by strict obligations towards their association which is under the business guidance and supervision of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.
Poleg tega je Komisija v uvodnih izjavah 382 in 383 sklenila, da so člani združenja CBA, vključno z dobavitelji delov, podrejeni ključni gospodarski subjekti, ki jim je zaupano izvajanje nacionalne politike, da se dosežejo širši cilji glede proizvodnje električnih koles.
As a consequence, the CBA members, including suppliers of parts, are considered as subordinated key operators in the bicycle industry entrusted by the GOC to implement national policy in order to achieve the broader objectives related to the production of electric bicycles.
Na podlagi navedenega in ob neobstoju drugih informacij se je to štelo za reprezentativno za stanje na domačem kitajskem trgu motorjev.
Therefore, the Commission investigated further these policies.
Natančneje, kar zadeva edinega sodelujočega dobavitelja motorjev, je preiskava razkrila, da je izvažal podobne modele po različnih cenah glede na trg in da je na domačem trgu motorje nenehno prodajal po precej ugodnejših cenah kot na izvoznem trgu.
Several parties claimed that the CBA is a non-profit association, whose members are companies, research units and local associations in the bicycle industry which had voluntarily joined it.
Domače cene so bile v povprečju za več kot 33 % nižje od izvoznih cen.
These parties also claimed that most of the CBA members are private-owned companies.
Ta razlika je pri nekaterih modelih dosegla 67 %.
In this regard, the Commission refered to recitals (166) and (170) above which provide that, due to the refusal of the GOC to provide information on the ownership of domestic suppliers of input materials, the Commission had to rely on facts available.
Med preiskavo je bilo tudi ugotovljeno, da so bili z enakimi modeli povezani enaki stroški ne glede na njihov namembni kraj.
The information at the Commission's disposal showed that several CBA members are also SOEs.
Posledično cenovnih razlik med izvoženimi modeli in modeli, prodanimi na domačem trgu, ni bilo mogoče pojasniti z razlikami v stroških.
The GOC claimed that the Commission failed to demonstrate that the CBA is a public body.
Družba Bafang je zatrjevala, da so te cenovne razlike nastale zaradi višjih prodajnih stroškov na izvoznem trgu.
In this regard, the Commission referred to recital (138) and confirmed its conclusion that the CBA operates under the policy guidance and supervision ‘of the State Council, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the competent business unit of the society’.
Vendar je preiskava pokazala, da je bilo le majhen del razlike v ceni mogoče pripisati višjim stroškom prodaje.
This was also the case in the year 2016, when the 13th Bicycle Plan was approved.
Družba Bafang ni zatrjevala, da bi se take razlike lahko pojasnile z različnimi tržnimi razmerami, dejstva, ugotovljena v tej preiskavi, pa take hipoteze niti niso potrdila.
The GOC also claimed that only one third of the domestic suppliers providing engines to the sampled exporting producers of electric bicyles are SOEs or members of the CBA.
Nasprotno, družba Bafang je kot članica združenja CBA podrejena temu združenju, namen njegovega 13. načrta za kolesa pa je izboljšati izvozno uspešnost proizvajalcev izvoznikov električnih koles, kakor je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 112 in 113 zgoraj.
Moreover, it pointed out that according to existing jurisprudence, the State ownership is not sufficient to demonstrate entrustment and direction.
Da bi družba prispevala k izvozni uspešnosti te industrije, ji je posledično zaupano ali ukazano, naj surovine na domačem trgu prodaja po ugodnejših cenah, da lahko proizvajalci izvozniki električnih koles svoje izdelke ponudijo po znatno nižjih cenah kot njihovi konkurenti na izvoznih trgih, ki morajo motorje nabavljati po nesubvencioniranih cenah.
The Commission first noted that the GOC did not contest its findings that an important part of the domestic suppliers of engines to the sampled exporting producers are SOEs and/or members of the CBA.
Več strani je trdilo, da se odločitev družbe Bafang, da bo na izvoznih trgih zaračunavala višje cene kot na domačem trgu, ne bi smela šteti za nerazumno.
In the absence of cooperation, while State ownership and/or CBA membership alone are not a sufficient condition to demonstrate entrustment and direction, it is an important element in this regard.
Prvič, to bi bilo mogoče povezati s poprodajnimi stroški.
In addition to having demonstrated in recital (138) above that those entities followed the government policies and objectives, the Commission also established, as illustrated in recitals (390) to (412) below, that the domestic suppliers of engines to the electric bicycle industry were entrusted and directed by the GOC.
Drugič, to bi bilo lahko odvisno od različnih konkurenčnih ravni na obeh trgih.
On this basis, these comments were rejected.
Tretjič, to bi bilo lahko odvisno od večjega povpraševanja in prepoznavnosti znamke Bafang na domačem trgu.
Government policies and objectives
V zvezi s prvo točko se napotuje na uvodno izjavo 397, ki že obravnava tako trditev glede na informacije, preverjene v prostorih dobavitelja.
The Commission identified several legal sources indicating public support to the industry of engines, because of their position in the electric bicycle industrial supply chain.
V zvezi z drugo in tretjo točko je treba na začetku opozoriti, da zgoraj navedena trditev ni bila podprta z novimi elementi.
These documents include the 12th Five Year Plan for Bicycles and Electric Bicycles industry, the 13th Bicycle Plan, the Light Industry Development Plan (2016-2020), the Notice of the Suzhou Municipal Government General Office of circulating the Administrative Measures on the Special Fund of the Municipal Industry and Economic Upgrading (SU FU BAN 2014-137) and its Notice on application for year 2016 Suzhou Municipal Fiscal Special Fund Program and the Tianjin Municipal Light Industry and Textile Development Plan for the 13th Five-Year (2016-2020).
Glede na delno nesodelovanje kitajske vlade, kot je obravnavano v uvodnih izjavah 163 do 169 zgoraj, so Komisiji vsekakor manjkale bistvene informacije v zvezi z različnimi konkurenčnimi ravnmi domačega in izvoznega trga ter s položajem različnih dobaviteljev motorjev na domačem trgu.
These documents were analysed in Section 3.1 above.
Na podlagi tega je morala svoje ugotovitve utemeljiti na razpoložljivih informacijah, tj. na le enem izpolnjenem vprašalniku, ki ga je prejela od dobaviteljev vhodnih materialov.
These documents emphasize the need to improve the quality and performance of crucial inputs to the electric bicycle producers of which engines are part and to complete the bicycle industrial supply chain so that a vertically integrated and autonomous electric bicycle production chain can be established in China.
Dokazov o različni konkurenčni ravni domačega in izvoznega trga, ki bi vodila v tako različne ravni cen na obeh trgih, ni.
These documents also describe the various support schemes to the electric bicycle producers and their suppliers such as subsidies in the form of preferential financing and tax rebates/exemption as described in recitals (105) and (106).
Prav tako ni dokazov o prepoznavnosti znamke Bafang in o tem, kako je ta vplivala na različne cene.
Entrustment and direction
Če sploh, bi lahko prepoznavnost znamke vplivala tudi na cene na domačem trgu, saj bi lahko tam podkrepila višjo ceno od konkurentov.
It is first recalled that in view of the partial non-cooperation by the GOC, no questionnaire replies were received from suppliers of input material, except for Bafang, and that the Commission lacked therefore crucial information with regard to the domestic market of suppliers of engines.
Poleg tega bi bila glede na znatno cenovno razliko med motorji, prodanimi na domačem trgu, in tistimi, prodanimi za izvoz, razumna gospodarska odločitev osredotočenje na prodajo motorjev na izvoznih trgih, saj je mogoče doseči veliko večjo dobičkonosnost.
As a consequence the Commission had to rely on facts available pursuant to Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation to establish its findings on entrustment.
Večja dobičkonosnost bi se še vedno lahko dosegla, tudi če bi družba znižala svoje izvozne cene motorjev v primerjavi s tistimi, zaračunanimi med OP, da bi pridobila tržni delež na trgih tretjih držav.
In this regard, the information available to the Commission consisted of the information gathered from the sampled exporting producers with regard to their domestic suppliers of engines, publicly available information concerning CBA and its members, the information gathered from the sole cooperating supplier of input and a specific industry report on engines in China provided by the complainant.
Dobičkonosnost, dosežena na izvoznem trgu, bi namreč bila še vedno veliko večja od tiste, dosežene na domačem trgu.
As far as the suppliers to the sampled exporting producers are concerned, the Commission established in recital (382) that the members of CBA that provided engines to the sampled exporting producers represented 41 % of the total domestic quantity supplied to the sampled exporting producers and up to 66 % of the total domestic purchase value during the IP.
Skupaj s povečanjem izvoznih prodajnih količin bi absolutna dobičkonosnost celo presegla trenutne ravni.
Furthermore, in recitals (382) and (383), the Commission concluded that the members of the CBA, including suppliers of parts, are subordinated key operators that are entrusted to implement national policy in order to achieve the broader objectives related to the production of electric bicycles.
Kljub navedenemu je preiskava pokazala, da je glavna dejavnost družbe Bafang med OP ostala na domačem trgu.
Based on the above and in the absence of any other information, this was considered representative of the situation on the domestic Chinese engine market.
Družba Bafang je trdila, da dejstvo, da je domača prodaja v OP prinesla razumen dobiček, dokazuje, da na domačem trgu ne prodaja po nižjih cenah in da njeno ravnanje v zvezi s cenami ni nerazumno.
More specifically, as far as the sole cooperating supplier of engine is concerned, the investigation revealed that it had exported similar models at different prices depending on the market and that it was consistently selling engines at more favourable prices on its domestic market than on its export market.
Čeprav ni sporno, da je družba z domačo prodajo ustvarila dobiček, informacije, ki so bile na voljo v dokumentaciji, kažejo, da so bile domače cene bistveno nižje kot izvozne cene.
