The complainants further feared a structural impact on the EU market of tyres as the additional cost to purchase a high-quality tyre would become less and less possible to justify when the option of multiple retreading of a high-quality tyre disappears together with the retreading industry.
Komisija je v tej fazi opazila, da politika industrije pnevmatik v LRK spodbuja proizvajalce pnevmatik k izboljšanju tehničnih vidikov in trženja znamk (na primer izvajanje strategije za trženje znamk, da bi povečali priljubljenost in ugled znamke in da bi še naprej krepili vrednost znamke) ter ugotovila, da vzporedni protisubvencijski postopek še poteka.
Finally, they foresee a continuous improvement of tyres from the PRC.
Glede na navedeno je stranke pozvala, naj predložijo pripombe o točkah iz prejšnje uvodne izjave, ki sta jih navedla pritožnika, da bi lahko podrobno analizirala te točke v zaključni fazi.
If higher-quality tyres from the PRC were allowed to compete with Union tyres at dumped prices, this would reduce the Union tyre industry margins and hence its capacity to invest and innovate.
VZROČNA ZVEZA
This, in turn, would likely force the Union industry to rely on lower quality tyres requiring limited investment in R & D, further affecting their retreadability.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 3(6) osnovne uredbe proučila, ali je dampinški uvoz iz zadevne države povzročil znatno škodo industriji Unije.
The Commission observed at this stage that the ‘Tire Industry Policy’ of the PRC encourages tyre manufacturers to improve on technical aspects and on the branding (such as to implement branding strategies, to increase the popularity and the reputation of the brand, and to continue raising brand value) and noted that a parallel anti-subsidy case is ongoing.
V skladu s členom 3(7) osnovne uredbe je proučila tudi druge znane dejavnike, ki bi lahko hkrati povzročali škodo industriji Unije.
Therefore, in view of the above, it invited parties to comment on the points brought forward by the complainants in the previous recital in order to allow it to analyse these points in detail for the definitive stage.
Zagotovila je, da se morebitna škoda, ki so jo povzročili drugi dejavniki in ne dampinški uvoz iz zadevne države, ni pripisala temu dampinškemu uvozu.
CAUSATION
Ti dejavniki so: uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav, izvoz proizvajalcev Unije in razvoj stroškov.
In accordance with Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the dumped imports from the country concerned caused material injury to the Union industry.
Učinki dampinškega uvoza
In accordance with Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission also examined whether other known factors could at the same time have injured the Union industry.
Cene dampinškega uvoza iz LRK so v obdobju preiskave občutno nelojalno nižale prodajne cene industrije Unije, saj so stopnje nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen znašale od 21 % do 31 %, kar je privedlo do upada tržnega deleža in dobičkonosnosti industrije Unije (z 72,0 % na 66,8 % oziroma s 15,6 % v letu 2014 na 13,7 % v obravnavanem obdobju).
The Commission ensured that any possible injury caused by factors other than the dumped imports from the country concerned was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Dejansko se je obseg prodaje industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju rahlo zmanjšal, medtem ko se je obseg uvoza iz LRK povečal za 32 %, s čimer se je izkoristila večina povečanja potrošnje Unije.
Those factors are: imports from other third countries, export sales performance of the Union producers and costs evolution.
Na splošno je v obravnavanem obdobju tržni delež, ki ga je izgubila industrija Unije (– 5,2 odstotne točke), prevzel kitajski uvoz (+ 4,2 odstotne točke).
Effects of the dumped imports
Analiza kazalnikov škode v uvodnih izjavah 155 do 203 kaže, da se je gospodarski položaj industrije Unije in zlasti njen finančni položaj poslabšal, kar sovpada s prihodom velikega obsega dampinškega uvoza iz LRK.
Prices of dumped imports from the PRC significantly undercut Union industry prices during the investigation period with undercutting margins ranging from 21 % to 31 % leading to decreasing market share and profitability for the Union industry (respectively from 72,0 % to 66,8 % and from 15,6 % in 2014 to 13,7 % during the period considered).
Cene tega uvoza nelojalno nižajo prodajne cene industrije Unije in povzročajo precejšen pritisk na zniževanje cen na trgu Unije.
In effect, during the period considered the Union industry sales volume slightly decreased whilst the import volume from the PRC rose by 32 % and thus seizing the bulk of the increase in Union consumption.
Ugotovljeno občutno povečanje uvoza in znatno nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen sta glavna dejavnika, ki ju je treba obravnavati v tem primeru.
Overall, during the period considered, the Union industry's loss of market share (– 5,2 percentage points) was taken by the Chinese imports (+ 4,2 percentage points).
Kitajski izvozniki so uspeli precej povečati svoj tržni delež na račun industrije Unije.
The analysis of the injury indicators in recitals (155) to (203) shows that the economic situation of the Union industry, and in particular its financial situation, has worsened and this coincides with the arrival of large volumes of dumped imports from the PRC.
V obdobju preiskave večina celotnega obsega dampinškega uvoza iz Kitajske prihaja predvsem iz tretjega razreda, zaradi česar je bilo več proizvajalcev Unije iz tega razreda, zlasti izvajalcev protektiranja, ki so MSP, prisiljenih izstopiti s trga.
The prices of these imports undercut those of the Union industry and have exerted a significant downward pressure on prices in the Union market.
Poleg tega, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 137, je Komisija ugotovila, da so tako velike količine po dampinških cenah vplivale na oblikovanje cen.
Indeed, it is the steep increase of imports and the substantial price undercutting found that are the chief factors to be considered in this case.
Prej je oblikovanje cen vodil prvi razred, tj. cene drugega razreda so se oblikovale na podlagi cen prvega razreda in cene tretjega razreda so se oblikovale na podlagi cen drugega razreda.
Chinese exporters managed to increase significantly its market share at the expense of the Union industry.
Zdaj je obratno: cene drugega razreda se oblikujejo na podlagi cen tretjega razreda, cene prvega razreda pa se oblikujejo na podlagi cen drugega razreda.
During the investigation period, the majority of the total volume of dumped Chinese imports concentrates on tier 3, forcing several of Union producers in that tier, in particular SME retreaders, to exit the market.
To je povzročilo znižanje prodajnih cen v vseh razredih.
In addition, as explained in recital (137) the Commission established that such high volumes at dumped prices have affected the price setting.
Zato je Komisija začasno sklenila, da je bilo povečanje dampinškega uvoza iz LRK odločilno pri znatni škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Previously, the price setting was driven by tier 1, i.e. tier 2 prices were established in relation to tier 1 and tier 3 in relation to tier 2.
Drugi dejavniki, ki so bili proučeni v analizi vzročnosti v skladu s členom 3(7) osnovne uredbe so bili: uvoz iz drugih držav, izvoz industrije Unije in razvoj stroškov industrije Unije.
Now this was reversed: tier 2 price is established on the basis of tier 3 and tier 1 on the basis of tier 2.
Uvoz iz tretjih držav
This resulted in a decrease of selling prices in all tiers.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
The Commission thus provisionally concluded that the surge of dumped imports from the PRC had a determining role in the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Preglednica 18
Other factors which were examined in the causality analysis in accordance with Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation were: the imports from other countries, export performance of the Union industry and evolution of costs of the Union industry.
Vir: Eurostat.
The volume of imports from other third countries developed over the period considered as follows:

Tržni delež uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je rahlo povečal, in sicer z 10,8 % na 11,9 % v obravnavanem obdobju.
Volume of imports from all other countries
Od vsega uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav so bile samo pri ruskem uvozu povprečne cene podobne povprečnim cenam kitajskega uvoza.
Unit import prices from all other countries
Povprečne cene uvoza zadevnega izdelka so bile precej višje od povprečnih cen kitajskega uvoza.
Total all third countries except the PRC
Tržni delež uvoza zadevnega izdelka iz Rusije se je povečal z 0,9 % na 1,3 % v obravnavanem obdobju.
Imports from other third countries showed a slight increase of their market share from 10,8 % to 11,9 % in the period considered.
Vendar pa omejene količine ruskega uvoza ne prekinjajo vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Out of all imports from other third countries, only Russian imports had average prices similar to those of Chinese imports.
Komisija je zato sklenila, da je bil, čeprav je uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav morda imel omejen učinek na položaj industrije Unije, dampinški uvoz iz LRK še vedno glavni vzrok škode.
The average prices of imports of the product concerned were clearly higher than the average prices of Chinese imports.
Izvoz industrije Unije
The market share of imports of the product concerned from Russia increased from 0,9 % to 1,3 % in the period considered.
Obseg izvoza proizvajalcev Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
However, the limited quantities of Russian imports do not break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Preglednica 19
Therefore, the Commission concluded that even if imports from other third countries may have had some limited impact on the situation of the Union industry, dumped imports from the PRC remained the main cause of injury.
Izvoz proizvajalcev Unije
Export performance of the Union industry
Obseg izvoza (v kosih)
The volume of exports of the Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Povprečna cena (v EUR/kos)
Table 19
Po podatkih Eurostata se je obseg izvoza Unije v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal za 2,6 %.
Export performance of the Union producers
Na povprečne izvozne cene negativno vplivajo vrednosti prenosa povezanim družbam.
Export volume (in items)
Ni dokazov, da bi lahko izvozna dejavnost industrije Unije prekinila vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in ugotovljeno škodo.
Average price (EUR/item)
Razvoj stroškov
Based on Eurostat, export volumes decreased by 2,6 % during the period considered.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 181, so se skupni stroški industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju znižali za 12 EUR na pnevmatiko zaradi razvoja glavnih surovin (tj. naravnega in sintetičnega kavčuka).
Average export prices are affected by transfer values to related companies.
Povprečna prodajna cena industrije Unije pa se je zmanjšala za 19 EUR na pnevmatiko zaradi cenovnega pritiska dampinškega kitajskega uvoza.
There is no evidence that the export activity of the Union industry could break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury found.
Zato je mogoče skleniti, da razvoj stroškov ni mogel povzročiti škode industriji Unije.
Costs evolution
Sklep o vzročni zvezi
As mentioned in recital (181), the total costs of the Union industry decreased by EUR 12 per tyre over the period considered due to the evolution of the main raw materials (namely natural and synthetic rubber).
Ugotovljena je bila vzročna zveza med škodo, ki so jo utrpeli proizvajalci Unije, in dampinškim uvozom iz zadevne države.
However, the average selling price of the Union industry decreased by EUR 19 per tyre due to the price pressure of the dumped Chinese imports.
Velik pritisk, ki se je na ceno in obseg industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju izvajal z vse večjim dampinškim uvozom iz zadevne države, je industriji Unije preprečil, da bi lahko izkoristila rast trga Unije po krizi.
It can be therefore concluded that the costs evolution could not be a cause of the injury to the Union industry.
Dejansko najintenzivnejša konkurenca poteka v tretjem razredu, v katerem se izvaja večina kitajskega uvoza, kar vpliva tudi na višja razreda, kakor je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 204 do 210.
Conclusion on causation
Zgornja analiza kazalnikov škode je pokazala, da je povečanje poceni dampinškega uvoza iz LRK, s katerim so se znatno nelojalno znižale prodajne cene Unije, vplivalo na gospodarski položaj industrije Unije kot celote.
A causal link was established between the injury suffered by the Union producers and the dumped imports from the country concerned.
Kitajski izvozniki so uspeli pridobiti velik tržni delež na račun industrije Unije, zaradi česar sta se zmanjšali zaposlenost in zmogljivost proizvodnje.
The considerable price and volume pressure exerted on the Union industry by the increasing dumped imports from the country concerned over the period considered have not allowed the Union industry to benefit from the post-crisis growing Union market.
Tržni delež industrije Unije se je med letom 2014 in obdobjem preiskave zmanjšal za 5,2 odstotne točke, njen obseg prodaje pa je stagniral, medtem ko se je potrošnja na trgu Unije povečala.
Indeed, the fiercest competition takes place in tier 3, where most of the Chinese imports take place, also affecting the higher tiers as explained in recitals (204) to (210).
Poleg tega se trend dobičkonosnosti za celotno industrijo Unije prav tako zmanjšuje, izgube pa so nastale zlasti v tretjem razredu pnevmatik.
The analysis of the injury indicators above shows that the economic situation of the Union industry as a whole has been affected by an increase of low-priced dumped imports from PRC that undercut substantially the Union prices.
Komisija je opredelila učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije in jih ločila od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza.
Chinese exporters managed to gain significant market share at the expense of the Union industry, resulting in a decrease of employment and a reduction of production capacity.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da vpliv drugih opredeljenih dejavnikov, tj. uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav, izvoza proizvajalcev Unije in razvoja stroškov, na negativni razvoj industrije Unije v smislu tržnega deleža, cen in dobičkonosnosti ne prekinja vzročne zveze.
The Union industry lost 5,2 percentage points of its market share between 2014 and the investigation period, and the sales volumes stagnated, while the consumption increased in the Union market.
Tudi če se je upošteval njihov skupni učinek, sklep Komisije ni bil drugačen: če dampinškega uvoza ne bi bilo, industrija Unije ne bi bila tako močno negativno prizadeta.
Moreover, the trend in profitability for the entire Union industry is also decreasing, suffering loses in particular in tier 3 tyres.
Zlasti se tržni delež ne bi zmanjšal na take ravni, zaposlenost pa bi se ohranila.
The Commission distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports.
Zato je Komisija v tej fazi sklenila, da je znatna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, posledica dampinškega uvoza iz zadevne države in da drugi posamično ali skupaj obravnavani dejavniki niso prekinili vzročne zveze.
The effect of the other identified factors namely imports from other third countries, the export sales performance of the Union producers and the costs evolution on the Union industry's negative developments in terms of market share, prices and profitability were not found to break the causal link.
INTERES UNIJE
Even when their combined effect was considered, the Commission's conclusion was not different: in the absence of the dumped imports, the Union industry would not have been negatively affected to such a significant extent.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe proučila, ali bi lahko kljub ugotovitvi o škodljivem dampingu jasno sklenila, da sprejetje ukrepov v tem primeru ni v interesu Unije.
In particular, the market share would not have dropped to such levels and employment would have been maintained.
Določitev interesa Unije je temeljila na oceni vseh različnih zadevnih interesov, vključno z interesi industrije Unije in uvoznikov.
Therefore, the Commission concluded at this stage that the material injury to the Union industry was caused by the dumped imports from the country concerned and that the other factors, considered individually or collectively, did not break the causal link.
Interes industrije Unije
UNION INTEREST
Učinek morebitnih protidampinških ukrepov bo verjetno pozitiven za proizvajalce Unije in zlasti MSP.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether it could clearly conclude that it was not in the Union interest to adopt measures in this case, despite the determination of injurious dumping.
Ti bi lahko imeli koristi od povečevanja potrošnje in trga, na katerem vladajo pošteni pogoji.
The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry and importers.
Zlasti se pričakuje, da bi lahko proizvajalci Unije v teh pogojih povečali prodajo in s tem ponovno pridobili del izgubljenega tržnega deleža.
Interest of the Union industry
S tem pa bi se še dodatno povečali proizvodnja Unije in stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti.
The effect of the potential anti-dumping measures is likely to be positive for the Union producers and in particular for SMEs.
Industrija Unije bi v poštenih pogoji lahko zvišala svoje cene in izboljšala svoj finančni položaj.
They would be able to benefit from the growing consumption and a market governed by fair conditions.
Glede na medsebojno povezanost dejavnosti protektiranja in proizvodnje pnevmatik, ki jih je mogoče protektirati, bi predlagani ukrepi zlasti omogočili sposobnost preživetja industrije protektiranja.
It is especially expected that under these conditions Union producers would be able to increase their sales and thus regain part of the market share lost.
To bi pomagalo, kar zadeva zaposlenost, zlasti ker je industrija protektiranja delovno intenzivna in navzoča po vsej Uniji.
This would in turn further increase the Union production and the capacity utilisation rate.
Interes uporabnikov in uvoznikov Unije
In fair conditions, the Union industry would be able to increase their prices and improve their financial situation.
Obvestilo o začetku je bilo poslano več kot 40 uvoznikom in uporabnikom zadevnega izdelka ter njihovim združenjem.
Given the interconnection between the retreading business and the production of retreadable tyres, the proposed measures would in particular allow the viability of the retreading industry.
Pet nepovezanih uvoznikov je izpolnilo vprašalnik za vzorčenje.
This would bring relief in terms of employment, in particular since the retreadable industry is labour intensive and located all throughout the Union.
Ti uvozniki predstavljajo [10 %–15 %] celotnega uvoza iz LRK.
Interest of the Union users and importers
Od teh petih družb sta bili dve vzorčeni na podlagi njunega obsega uvoza (ki predstavlja [6 %–10 %] celotnega kitajskega uvoza) in sta izpolnili vprašalnik.
The Notice of Initiation was sent to over 40 importers and users of the product concerned, and their associations.
Pri obeh vzorčenih uvoznikih je kitajski uvoz zadevnega izdelka v obdobju preiskave predstavljal velik delež prihodka od prodaje.
Five unrelated importers replied to the sampling questionnaire.
Njun poslovni model večinoma temelji na pogodbah s kitajskimi proizvajalci izvozniki, čeprav imata tudi alternativne vire (domače ali iz drugih tretjih držav).
They represent [10 % - 15 %] of the total imports from the PRC.
Čeprav bi ukrepi vplivali na njuno dejavnost, se zato tudi pričakuje, da bi se z uvedbo ukrepov cene na trgu Unije zvišale na poštene ravni.
Out of these five companies, two were sampled on the basis of their volume of imports (representing [6 % - 10 %] of the total Chinese imports) and replied to the questionnaire.
Drug poslovni model pa temelji na „strategiji trgovanja samo s kontejnerji“.
For both sampled importers, the Chinese imports of the product concerned represented a significant share of the turnover in the investigation period.
V tem primeru imajo uvozniki več prožnosti pri spreminjanju virov dobave.
Their business model is mainly based on contracts with Chinese exporting producers, although they also have alternative sources (either domestically or from other third countries).
V to kategorijo spadajo trije od nevzorčenih uvoznikov, ki v obdobju preiskave predstavljajo manj kot 2 % celotnega kitajskega uvoza.
Therefore, while measures would have an impact on their activity, it is also expected that the imposition of the measures will increase the prices in the Union market to fair levels.
Tako nizka stopnja sodelovanja kaže, da uvedba ukrepov ne bi znatno vplivala na njihovo dejavnost.
There is another business model that relies on a ‘container only trading strategy’.
Javilo se je dodatnih dvanajst uvoznikov in dve združenji uvoznikov, večinoma po objavi uredbe o registraciji.
In this case, importers have more flexibility to change sources of supply.
Izražene so bile pripombe na registracijo in možno uvedbo ukrepov.
Three of the non-sampled importers fall under this category, representing less than 2 % of the total Chinese imports in the investigation period.
Vendar noben od uvoznikov Unije ni predložil utemeljenega zahtevka.
Such a low level of cooperation suggests that the imposition of measures would not have any significant impact on their activity.
Čeprav predlagani ukrepi niso v interesu uporabnikov in uvoznikov, Komisija torej v tej fazi ni mogla kvantificirati morebitnega negativnega učinka nanje.
Additional twelve importers and two associations of importers came forward, most of them after the publication of the registration regulation.
Interes dobaviteljev
Comments were made on the registration and the possible imposition of measures.
Dobavitelji tekalnih plasti so predložili stališča, s katerimi so podprli uvedbo protidampinških ukrepov, pri čemer so trdili, da so taki ukrepi bistveni za preživetje industrije protektiranja.
However, none of the Union importers submitted substantiated claims.
Ukinitev dejavnosti protektiranja bi močno prizadela njihovo poslovanje.
Hence, while the proposed measures are not in the interest of users and importers, the Commission could not quantify at this stage any potential negative effect on them.
Ta zadeva bo podrobneje proučena med raziskavo.
Interest of suppliers
Drugi interesi
Treads suppliers have made submissions supporting the imposition of anti-dumping measures alleging such measures are essential for the survival of the retreading industry.
Zmanjšanje odpadkov in trajnostno upravljanje surovin sta del dolgoletne politike Unije.
Without retreading activities, their business will be severely affected.
Politika Unije ima dvojen namen: nanaša se na preprečevanje nastajanja odpadkov in spodbuja recikliranje.
This matter will be further looked at in the course of the investigation.
Poleg tega obstaja horizontalni cilj politike za spodbujanje prisotnosti malih in srednjih podjetij na trgu Unije.
