The Commission received a request pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on citric acid originating in the PRC by imports consigned from Cambodia, whether declared as originating in Cambodia or not, and to make such imports subject to registration.
Komisija je prejela zahtevek v skladu s členoma 13(3) in 14(5) osnovne uredbe, da razišče morebitno izogibanje protidampinškim ukrepom, uvedenim na uvoz citronske kisline s poreklom iz LRK, z uvozom, poslanim iz Kambodže, ne glede na to, ali je deklarirana kot izdelek s poreklom iz Kambodže ali ne, in o uvedbi registracije za tak uvoz.
The request was lodged on 30 October 2017 by the European industry manufacturing citric acid.
Zahtevek je 30. oktobra 2017 vložila evropska industrija, ki proizvaja citronsko kislino.
The request contained sufficient evidence on a change in the pattern of trade between the Union, the PRC and Cambodia which appeared to stem from a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty, namely the transhipment, with or or without minor processing operations, of the product concerned originating in the PRC via Cambodia to the Union.
Zahtevek je vseboval dovolj dokazov o spremembi vzorca trgovanja med Unijo, LRK in Kambodžo, za katerega se zdi, da izhaja iz prakse, postopka ali dejavnosti, za katero ni zadostnega vzroka ali ni gospodarsko upravičena, z izjemo uvedbe dajatve, in sicer pretovarjanja, z manjšimi operacijami oplemenitenja ali brez njih, zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz LRK prek Kambodže v Unijo.
Furthermore, the request contained sufficient evidence that the practice described above was undermining the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures both in terms of quantities and prices and that the prices of the product under investigation were dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.
Poleg tega je zahtevek vseboval zadostne dokaze, da je navedena praksa slabila sanacijski učinek obstoječih protidampinških ukrepov, tako v smislu količin kot cen, in da so cene izdelka v preiskavi dampinške v primerjavi z normalno vrednostjo, ki je bila predhodno določena za zadevni izdelek.
The product concerned by the possible circumvention is citric acid (including trisodium citrate dihydrate (‘citric salt’)), falling within CN codes ex29181400 (TARIC code 2918140090) and ex29181500 (TARIC code 2918150019) and originating in the PRC (‘the product concerned’).
Izdelek, ki ga zadeva morebitno izogibanje, je citronska kislina (vključno s trinatrijevim citrat dihidratom („sol citronske kisline“)), ki se trenutno uvršča pod oznaki KN ex29181400 (oznaka TARIC 2918140090) in KN ex29181500 (oznaka TARIC 2918150019), s poreklom iz LRK („zadevni izdelek“).
The investigation showed that citric acid and citric salt exported from the PRC to the Union and consigned from Cambodia have the same basic physical and chemical characteristics and have the same uses, and are therefore to be considered as like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Preiskava je pokazala, da imata citronska kislina in sol citronske kisline, izvoženi v Unijo iz LRK, in tisti, ki se dobavita iz Kambodže, enake osnovne fizikalne in kemične lastnosti ter enako uporabo, zato se jih šteje za podobne izdelke v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
Having determined, after having informed the Member States, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission decided to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of product concerned originating in the PRC and to make imports of citric acid consigned from Cambodia, whether declared as originating in Cambodia or not, subject to registration.
Ko je Komisija, potem ko je obvestila države članice, ugotovila, da obstajajo zadostni dokazi za začetek preiskave v skladu s členoma 13(3) in 14(5) osnovne uredbe, je sklenila, da razišče morebitno izogibanje protidampinškim ukrepom, uvedenim na uvoz zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz LRK, ter uvede registracijo uvoza citronske kisline, poslane iz Kambodže, ne glede na to, ali je deklarirana kot izdelek s poreklom iz Kambodže ali ne.
The investigation was initiated by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2300 on 13 December 2017 (‘the initiating Regulation’).
Preiskava se je začela z Izvedbeno uredbo Komisije (EU) 2017/2300 z dne 13. decembra 2017 („uredba o začetku preiskave“).
The investigation period covered the period from 1 January 2014 to 30 September 2017 (‘the investigation period’ or ‘IP’).
Obdobje preiskave je trajalo od 1. januarja 2014 do 30. septembra 2017 („obdobje preiskave“ ali „OP“).
Data were collected for the investigation period to investigate, inter alia, the alleged change in the pattern of trade following the continuation of the measures and the increase of the definitive anti-dumping duties by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/82 and the existence of a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty.
Za obdobje preiskave so bili zbrani podatki med drugim tudi za preiskavo domnevne spremembe vzorca trgovanja po nadaljnjem izvajanju ukrepov, kot tudi po povečanju dokončnih protidampinških dajatev, uvedenih z Izvedbeno uredbo (EU) 2015/82, ter obstoja prakse, postopka ali dejavnosti, za katero ni zadostnega vzroka ali ni gospodarsko upravičena, z izjemo uvedbe dajatve.
More detailed data were collected for the period from 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2017 (‘the reporting period’ or ‘RP’) in order to examine if imports were undermining the remedial effect of the measures in force in terms of prices and/or quantities and the existence of dumping.
Podrobnejši podatki so bil zbrani za obdobje poročanja od 1. oktobra 2016 do 30. septembra 2017 („obdobje poročanja“), da bi se preučilo, ali je uvoz oslabil popravljalne učinke veljavnih ukrepov v smislu cen in/ali količin, ter ali obstaja damping.
The Commission officially informed the authorities of the PRC and Cambodia, the exporting producers and traders in those countries, the importers in the Union known to be concerned and the Union industry of the initiation of the investigation.
Komisija je o začetku preiskave uradno obvestila organe LRK in Kambodže, proizvajalce izvoznike in trgovce v navedenih državah, uvoznike v Uniji, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, ter industrijo Unije.
Questionnaires/Exemption Claim Forms were sent to the producers/exporters in Cambodia and the PRC and to the importers in the Union known to the Commission or which made themselves known within the deadlines specified in recital 16 of the initiating Regulation.
Vprašalniki/obrazci zahtevka za izvzetje so bili poslani proizvajalcem/izvoznikom v Kambodži in LRK ter uvoznikom v Uniji, ki so bili Komisiji znani ali ki so se sami javili v rokih iz uvodne izjave 16 uredbe o začetku preiskave.
Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time-limit set in the initiating Regulation.
Zainteresirane strani so imele možnost, da v roku iz uredbe o začetku preiskave pisno izrazijo svoja stališča in zahtevajo zaslišanje.
Replies to questionnaires/exemption forms were received from one Cambodian exporting producer, Wang Kang Biochemical Co., Ltd (‘WKB’), and five Union importers.
Odgovore na vprašalnike/obrazce zahtevka za izvzetje so predložili kamboški proizvajalec izvoznik Wang Kang Biochemical Co., Ltd. („družba WKB“) in pet uvoznikov Unije.
A verification visit was carried out in March 2018 at the premises of WKB.
Preveritveni obisk je bil v prostorih družbe WKB izveden marca 2018.
The Commission consulted also several governmental departments and agencies in Cambodia, including the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Handicraft, the Custom Authorities and the Council of Development of Cambodia.
Komisija se je poleg tega posvetovala z več vladnimi službami in agencijami v Kambodži, vključno z ministrstvom za trgovino, ministrstvom za finance, ministrstvom za industrijo in obrt, carinskimi organi in kamboškim svetom za razvoj.
whether there was a change in the pattern of trade between Cambodia, the PRC and the Union,
ali je prišlo do spremembe v vzorcu trgovanja med Kambodžo, LRK in Unijo,
if this change stemmed from a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the anti-dumping measures in force,
ali je ta sprememba nastala zaradi prakse, postopka ali dejavnosti, za katero ni bilo zadostnega vzroka ali gospodarske upravičenosti, z izjemo uvedbe veljavnih protidampinških ukrepov,
Changes in the pattern of trade between Cambodia, the PRC and the Union in the IP are analysed on the basis of the import and export statistics of Cambodia.
Spremembe vzorca trgovanja med Kambodžo, LRK in Unijo v OP se analizirajo na podlagi statističnih podatkov o uvozu in izvozu v Kambodži.
During the consultations with the Cambodian custom authorities, the Commission received the database of all the import and export transactions under Harmonised System (HS) heading 2918 for the IP.
V okviru posvetovanja s kamboškimi carinskimi organi je Komisija prejela podatkovno zbirko z vsemi uvoznimi in izvoznimi transakcijami pod tarifno številko harmoniziranega sistema 2918 v OP.
The database allowed for identification of the month and year of each given single transaction, description of the Cambodian customs code up to eight digits level, detailed product description, name of the exporter/importer, volume and value of the transaction, country of import/origin/destination.
Podatkovna zbirka je omogočala identifikacijo meseca in leta, ko so bile izvedene posamezne transakcije, ter je vključevala opis iz carinskega zakonika Kambodže do ravni osmih številk, podroben opis izdelka, ime izvoznika/uvoznika, obseg in vrednost transakcije, državo uvoza/porekla ali namembno državo.
Furthermore, during the consultations with the Cambodian Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry and Handicraft, it was confirmed that the sole cooperating Cambodian exporting producer, WKB, is the only exporter and producer of the product under investigation existing in Cambodia.
Med posvetovanjem s kamboškim ministrstvom za trgovino ter ministrstvom za industrijo in obrt je bilo poleg tega potrjeno, da je edini sodelujoči kamboški proizvajalec izvoznik, družba WKB, edini izvoznik in proizvajalec izdelka v preiskavi v Kambodži.
The product concerned was imported into Cambodia, both from China directly and also via Thailand and Vietnam, by the sole exporting producer of the product under investigation in Cambodia, WKB, and by other non-exporting Cambodian companies.
Zadevni izdelek so edini proizvajalec izvoznik izdelka v preiskavi v Kambodži, družba WKB, in druge kamboške družbe, ki niso izvoznice, v to državo uvažali neposredno iz Kitajske, pa tudi prek Tajske in Vietnama.
The imports by other companies, active mainly in the garment and textile industry, were relatively low in volumes and were consumed internally in Cambodia — no export transaction of citric acid or citric salt other than the exports from WKB are noted in the custom records.
Obseg uvoza drugih družb, dejavnih predvsem v konfekcijski in tekstilni industriji, je bil razmeroma majhen, izdelki pa so bili namenjeni notranji uporabi v Kambodži.
Therefore, these imports can be excluded from the analysis of the change in the pattern of trade between Cambodia, the PRC and the Union.
V carinskih evidencah poleg izvoza družbe WKB ni bilo nobenih transakcij, ki bi vključevale citronsko kislino ali sol citronske kisline.
WKB's imports are substantial compared to the rest of Cambodian imports and show an increasing trend in the period from 2015 to the RP.
Leta 2015 se je družba WKB v statističnih podatkih o izvozu prvič pojavila tudi kot izvoznica citronske kisline v Unijo in tretje države.
WKB also appeared first in export statistics as an exporter of citric salt both to the Union and to third countries in the year 2015.
Podatki o kamboškem uvozu zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz Kitajske in izvozu izdelka v preiskavi iz Kambodže v Unijo so prikazani v spodnjih preglednicah.
Data on Cambodian imports of the product concerned originating in China and exports of the product under investigation from Cambodia to the Union are shown in the tables below.
Poudariti je treba, da je bil obseg izvoza veliko večji od obsega uvoza, kar je v nadaljevanju pojasnjeno s proizvajalnim procesom družbe WKB.
It should be underlined the volumes of exports are much higher than volumes of imports, which is explained below by the production process of WKB.

Obseg izvoza iz Kambodže v Unijo in izvoza iz LRK v Kambodžo se je povečal po nadaljnjem izvajanju ukrepov in povečanju dokončnih protidampinških dajatev, uvedenih z Izvedbeno uredbo (EU) 2015/82.
The increase in volumes, of both exports from Cambodia to the Union and of exports from the PRC to Cambodia has taken place following the continuation of the measures and the increase of the definitive anti-dumping duties by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/82.
To predstavlja spremembo v vzorcu trgovanja med LRK in Kambodžo na eni strani ter Kambodžo in Unijo na drugi.
This constitutes a change in the pattern of trade between the PRC and Cambodia on the one hand, and Cambodia and the Union, on the other hand.
Domnevne prakse izogibanja
Alleged circumvention practice
Zadostni vzrok ali gospodarska upravičenost, z izjemo uvedbe protidampinške dajatve
Due cause or economic justification other than imposition of the anti-dumping duty
V skladu z ugotovitvami preiskave obstaja zadostni vzrok ali gospodarska upravičenost za začetek gospodarske dejavnosti in vzpostavitev proizvodnje družbe WKB v Kambodži.
According to the findings of the investigation, there is due cause or economic justification regarding the start of economic activity and establishment of production by WKB in Cambodia.
Na to ne vpliva dejstvo, da je v družbo WKB vlagal kitajski vlagatelj.
The fact that a Chinese investor invested in WKB does not alter those findings.
Glavni razlog za namestitev proizvodnih obratov v Kambodži je bil sveženj spodbud, ki so bile ponujene kitajskemu vlagatelju.
Indeed, the main reason for the location of production facilities in Cambodia was a package of incentives offered to the Chinese investor.
Družba WKB je bila ustanovljena leta 2014 (proizvajati je začela leta 2015).
WKB was established in 2014 (production started in 2015).
Pred ustanovitvijo družbe WKB se skupina Er-Kang (matična skupina družbe WKB) v LRK ni ukvarjala s proizvodnjo zadevnega izdelka.
Before establishment of WKB, the Er-Kang Group (mother group of WKB) was not involved in the production of the product concerned in the PRC.
Skupina Er-Kang poleg tega ne izvaja proizvodnih dejavnosti v Maleziji, na katero so bili ukrepi pred kratkim razširjeni z Uredbo (EU) 2016/32.
The Er-Kang group also does not have any production activity in Malaysia, where the measures were recently extended by Regulation (EU) 2016/32.
Ustanovitev družbe WKB je bila del večjega naložbenega projekta.
The establishment of WKB was part of a bigger investment project.
Skupina Er-Kang je na isti lokaciji obenem ustanovila še dve drugi družbi (proizvajalko škroba in proizvajalko specializiranega škroba).
At the same time, two other companies (a producer of starch and a producer of specialized starch) were established on the same location by the Er-Kang Group.
Za namestitev proizvodnje v Kambodži se je skupina deloma odločila zaradi dostopa do surovin (manioka), predvsem pa zaradi svežnja spodbud kamboške vlade.
The decision to locate production in Cambodia was driven to some extent by the access to raw-materials (cassava) but even more by the package of incentives offered by the Cambodian government.
Kot se je potrdilo med posvetovanji s kamboškim svetom za razvoj in kamboškim ministrstvom za finance, se je skupna naložba skupine Er-Kang uvrščala med upravičene naložbene projekte.
As confirmed during the consultations with the Council of Development of Cambodia and the Cambodian Ministry of Finance, the total Er-Kang Group investment was qualified as a qualified investment project (‘QIP’).
Ob upoštevanju nekaterih meril v zvezi z vrednostjo naložb in lokalnim zaposlovanjem (s pragovi, določenimi v skladu s sektorjem delovanja) ter obveznosti izvoza se za upravičene naložbene projekte omogočajo nekateri privilegiji glede uvoznih dajatev in davkov na uvožene stroje in surovine ter moratorija davka od dohodkov.
QIP, upon fulfilment of certain criteria of investment value and local employment content (thresholds are defined according to the sector of activity) and of export obligations, grants certain privileges with regard to import customs duties and taxes on imported machines and raw materials and to income tax grace period.
Domnevno pretovarjanje
Transhipment allegation
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 6, je bila domnevna praksa izogibanja iz zahtevka pretovarjanje, z manjšimi operacijami oplemenitenja ali brez njih, zadevnega izdelka prek Kambodže v Unijo.
As indicated in recital (6), the circumvention practice alleged in the request was the transhipment, with or or without minor processing operations, of the product concerned via Cambodia to the Union.
Da bi Komisija ocenila resničnost te domneve, je preučila količino in vrsto zadevnega izdelka, uvoženega v Kambodžo, ali je proizvodnja oziroma ali so nekatere faze proizvodnje izdelka v preiskavi potekale v Kambodži, podrobnosti proizvajalnega procesa ter količino in vrste izdelka v preiskavi, ki se izvaža v Unijo.
In order to assess this allegation, the Commission examined the quantities and type of the product concerned imported to Cambodia, whether the production or certain stages of production of the product under investigation take place in Cambodia, details of the production process, and the quantities and types of the product under investigation which is exported to the Union.
Ker je družba WKB, kot je bilo pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 22, edini izvoznik izdelka v preiskavi, je Komisija preiskavo omejila nanjo.
Since the only exporter of the product under investigation, as explained in recital (22), is WKB, the Commission limited its examination to this company.
Preiskava je potrdila, da ima družba WKB v Kambodži celotno aktivno proizvodno linijo (vključno z rezervoarji za fermentacijo) izdelka v preiskavi in da se tam proizvaja izdelek, ki se pozneje izvaža v Unijo.
The investigation confirmed that WKB has a full and active production line (including fermentation tanks) of the product under investigation located in Cambodia and that the product exported later to the Union is produced there.
Družba WKB proizvaja sol citronske kisline, pri čemer kot eno od surovin uporablja citronsko kislino.
The decision on the source country being based on price levels.
Poudariti je treba tudi, da se v proizvodnem postopku uporablja razmeroma majhna količina citronske kisline v primerjavi s končno količino proizvedene soli citronske kisline.
These operations are thus economically rational and do not suggest any intent to circumvent.
Citronska kislina se dodaja pozneje v proizvajalnem procesu, saj zmanjšuje vrednost pH končnega proizvoda.
Indeed, if the sole intention was to circumvent the measures WKB would import only from the PRC and then simply export the product to the Union directly or after small transformations.
Poleg tega družba WKB citronske kisline bodisi s poreklom iz Kitajske bodisi s poreklom iz Tajske, ki jo uvaža, pozneje ne prodaja ali izvaža.
Furthermore, it has to be underlined that only a relatively small amount of citric acid is used in the manufacturing process, compared with the final amount of produced citric salt.
Ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav 37 do 39 so bile potrjene na podlagi preveritve na kraju samem, ki je vključevala nakupe, premike zalog zadevnih surovin in evidence njihove porabe, pa tudi zaloge in obseg prodaje končnega izdelka, to je soli citronske kisline.
Citric acid is added at a late stage of the production process in order to reduce the pH value of the final product.
Glede na navedene ugotovitve se sklene, da domnev o pretovarjanju in izogibanju ukrepom za uvoz iz LRK prek pošiljk iz Kambodže ni mogoče potrditi.
Finally, no citric acid imported by WKB, whether of Chinese or Thai origin, is later sold or exported by the company.
Citronska kislina je surovina (uvožena iz LRK ali Tajske), ki jo družba WKB v omejenih količinah uporablja za proizvajanje soli citronske kisline.
The findings of recitals (37) to (39) were confirmed following an on-spot verification of purchases, stock movements of the raw material in question and its consumption records as well as stocks and sales volumes of the final product, namely citric salt.
Industrija Unije je po razkritju predložila svoje pripombe v zvezi z navedenimi ugotovitvami ter izrazila dvom v zvezi z razmerjem citronske kisline, uporabljenim pri proizvodnji soli citronske kisline, in splošno obdelavo citronske kisline kot surovine pri proizvajanju soli citronske kisline.
In light of those findings, it is concluded that the allegations of transhipment and circumvention of the measures imposed on imports from the PRC via consignments from Cambodia cannot be confirmed.
Po mnenju industrije Unije je citronska kislina polizdelek, ne surovina, ki se pridobiva s postopkom fermentacije, nato pa se predela v sol citronske kisline.
Citric acid is a raw-material (imported from the PRC or Thailand) which is used by WKB in limited amounts for the production of citric salt.
V zvezi s tem je treba poudariti, da se proizvajalni proces, ki ga uporablja družba WKB, razlikuje od proizvajalnega procesa, ki ga uporablja industrija Unije.
Following disclosure, the Union industry commented on those findings casting doubts as to the ratio of citric acid used in the production process of citric salt and as to general treatment of citric acid as a raw-material in the production process of citric salt.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 37, 38 in 40, so bile količina citronske kisline, ki je bila kupljena in uporabljena v proizvajalnem procesu, njen izvor in faza, v kateri se dodaja v proizvajalnem procesu, preverjene na kraju samem, in sicer v prostorih družbe WKB.
According to the Union industry, citric acid would be a semi-product rather than a raw material, and it is the fermentation process that leads to citric acid which is later transformed into citric salt.
Čeprav so bile domneve industrije Unije v zvezi s proizvajalnim procesom potrjene, pa poleg tega ne bi vplivale na splošno oceno Komisije glede izogibanja ukrepom na podlagi ugotovitev iz uvodne izjave 49.
In this regard, it has to be underlined that production process used by WKB is different that production process applied by the Union industry.
Industrija Unije je navedla, da je družba WKB sebe na uradnem spletnem mestu opisala kot proizvajalko tako citronske kisline kot soli citronske kisline.
As indicated in recitals (37), (38) and (40), the amount of citric acid purchased and used in the production process, its origin and the stage at which it is added to the production process were verified on location at WKB premises.
Spletno mesto je bilo spremenjeno šele po septembru 2017, ko je bila citronska kislina črtana s seznama izdelkov.
