Uvozne cene (v EUR/kos)
Definition of the Union industry and Union production
LRK
At the start of the period considered, forty-one producers manufactured the like product in the Union.
Povprečna cena uvoza iz LRK se je med letom 2014 in obdobjem preiskave znižala za 11 %, pri čemer se je najprej znižala za 4 % v letih 2014 in 2015, nato pa za 12 % med letom 2016 in obdobjem preiskave.
Four of them stopped their production during the investigation period.
Ker podroben nabor vrst izdelkov ni bil znan zaradi splošnosti statističnih podatkov Eurostata, razvoj cen ni popolnoma zanesljiv.
Following comments from interested parties, the Commission reassessed and established that six companies initially considered to be part of the Union industry should be excluded from the definition of the Union Industry because the interest represented by their import activity exceeded the interest represented by their production activity in the Union.
Kljub temu je Komisija ugotovila, da so bile povprečne cene uvoza iz LRK bistveno nižje od cen proizvajalcev Unije in uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav kot LRK.
Following this exclusion, 31 producers constitute the ‘Union Industry’ within the meaning of Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation.
Poleg tega se je, čeprav so kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki razširili paleto izdelkov, ki so se prodajali na trgu Unije, in vključili dražja električna kolesa, povprečna cena kitajskega uvoza znižala.
The total Union production during the investigation period was established at around 1,1 million pieces.
Po razkritju je več proizvajalcev izvoznikov trdilo, da je Komisija napačno ocenila razvoj povprečne cene kitajskega uvoza, ko je ugotovila, da je bistveno nižja od povprečne cene proizvajalcev Unije in tretjih držav.
The Commission established the figure on the basis of the consumption figure submitted by the Confederation of the European Bicycle Industry (‘CONEBI’), import statistics, and the ratio of sales to production of the sampled Union producers.
Navedene strani so trdile, da povprečna cena kitajskega uvoza ni razkrila ničesar o morebitnem nelojalnem nižanju prodajnih cen, saj ni bila opravljena „analiza na enaki osnovi“, in sicer analiza na podlagi vrste izdelka.
One interested party claimed that the company ATALA and its related company Accell Nederland should not form part of the Union industry because ATALA imports electric bicycles from the PRC.
Trdile so, da bi Komisija morala priznati, da lahko padajoča povprečna cena kitajskega uvoza odraža tudi le spremembo nabora izdelkov.
However, are not related within the meaning of Article 9(2) of the basic Regulation ATALA and Accell.
Kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 606, se Komisija strinja, da lahko sprememba nabora izdelkov vpliva na razvoj povprečne cene uvoza iz LRK.
In any case, imports alone would not constitute a reason for exclusion from the definition of the Union industry.
Vendar ostane dejstvo, da so povprečne cene uvoza iz LRK nenehno in precej nižje od povprečnih cen iz katerega koli drugega vira oskrbe, kljub okoliščinam, v katerih so iste zainteresirane strani trdile, da se je kakovost zadevnega izdelka izboljšala in da je zadevni izdelek prešel v višje cenovne segmente.
Union consumption
Poleg tega je treba ta padajoči trend upoštevati v povezavi z analizami na enaki osnovi, ki so pripeljale do ugotovitev znatnega nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen.
The Commission established the Union consumption on the basis of the information submitted by CONEBI.
Komisija je nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen v obdobju preiskave določila tako, da je primerjala:
Union consumption developed as follows:
tehtane povprečne prodajne cene štirih vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije za posamezno vrsto izdelka, zaračunane nepovezanim strankam na trgu Unije in prilagojene na raven cene franko tovarna, ter
Table 13
ustrezne tehtane povprečne cene za posamezno vrsto uvoženega izdelka vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK, zaračunane prvi neodvisni stranki na trgu Unije ter določene na podlagi CIF z ustreznimi prilagoditvami za carine v višini 6 % in stroške uvoza.
Union consumption (pieces)
Kitajska vlada je trdila, da bi bilo treba pri analizi nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen upoštevati različne elemente, kot so vrsta električnega kolesa (npr. mestno in gorsko električno kolo), lokacija motorja (motor na pestu ali centralni motor), moč baterije in material, iz katerega je električno kolo (npr. jeklo, aluminij, ogljik).
Source: CONEBI
Potrjeno je, da so se vsi ti dejavniki upoštevali pri analizi nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen.
Total Union
Komisija je izvedla primerjavo cen za vsako vrsto posla posebej in po morebitni ustrezni prilagoditvi ter odbitku rabatov in popustov.
Consumption (pieces)
Kar zadeva raven trgovanja pri teh poslih, je bilo ugotovljeno, da vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije in vzorčeni kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki prodajajo kupcem, ki so proizvajalci originalne opreme, in pod lastno blagovno znamko.
Index
Zato se je proučilo, ali je prilagoditev za raven trgovanja upravičena.
Union consumption increased steadily from 1.1 million pieces in 2014 to almost 2 million pieces during the investigation period, reflecting a growth of 74 % during the period considered.
V zvezi s tem se je proučilo, ali obstajajo dosledne in izrazite razlike v cenah med prodajo strankam, ki so proizvajalci originalne opreme, in prodajo pod lastno blagovno znamko.
This development was due to greater environmental awareness and continued investment in marketing and promotion, and in the technological development of electric bicycles.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da za prodajo vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije take dosledne in izrazite razlike v cenah ne obstajajo.
Imports from the PRC
Rezultat primerjave je bil izražen kot odstotek prihodkov od prodaje štirih vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije v obdobju preiskave.
Volume and market share of the imports from the PRC
Ugotovljene stopnje nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen so znašale od 16,2 do 43,2 %.
Since 2017, electric bicycles have been classified under CN code 87116010.
Po razkritju sta kitajska vlada in en proizvajalec izvoznik s povezanimi uvozniki v Uniji navedla, da je bil pri metodologiji, ki jo je uporabila Komisija pri izračunu stopnje nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen, po analogiji uporabljen člen 2(9) osnovne protidampinške uredbe.
Before 2017, electric bicycles were classified under (ex) CN code 87119010 under which other products were included.
Trdila sta, da je Komisija s tem kršila člena 2 in 8 osnovne uredbe ter sodno prakso EU in STO.
To overcome this issue, the complainant submitted detailed Chinese customs statistics in which it was able to identify Chinese exports of electric bicycles.
Trdila sta, da metodologija Komisije nima pravne podlage ter da je Komisija z uporabo konstruirane cene CIF kršila svoje obveznosti primerjanja cen tam, kjer poteka konkurenca, in na isti ravni trgovanja.
The Commission established the volume of imports on the basis of Eurostat data by extrapolating to the relevant HS code the ratio of Chinese exports of electric bicycles (as established above) on total exports from the PRC under the same HS code.
Kar zadeva nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen, Komisija opozarja, da osnovna uredba ne predpisuje posebne metodologije.
For the nine months of 2017, the Chinese import statistics are directly based on Eurostat.
Institucije zato uživajo široko diskrecijsko pravico pri ocenjevanju tega dejavnika škode.
The market share of the imports was then established by comparing import volumes with the Union consumption as shown in Table 13 in recital (586).
To diskrecijsko pravico omejuje zahteva po utemeljitvi sklepov s trdnimi dokazi in objektivni preiskavi iz člena 8(1) osnovne uredbe.
Imports into the Union from the PRC developed as follows:
Opozoriti je treba tudi, da člen 8(2) osnovne uredbe izrecno določa, da je treba obstoj znatnega nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen preveriti na ravni subvencioniranega uvoza, ne pa na ravni kakršne koli naknadne cene pri nadaljnji prodaji na trgu Unije.
Table 14
Na podlagi tega mora Komisija, kar zadeva elemente, upoštevane pri izračunu nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen (zlasti izvozno ceno), opredeliti točko, na kateri se prvič pojavi (ali bi se lahko pojavilo) konkuriranje proizvajalcem Unije na trgu Unije.
Import volume (pieces) and market share
Ta točka je dejansko nakupna cena prvega nepovezanega uvoznika, ker se lahko družba načeloma odloči, ali bo dobavljala pri industriji Unije ali pri čezmorskih dobaviteljih.
Source: Eurostat, Chinese export statistics
Ta ocena bi morala temeljiti na izvozni ceni na ravni meja Unije, ki se šteje za primerljivo s ceno franko tovarna industrije Unije.
Volume of imports from the PRC (pieces)
Pri izvozni prodaji prek povezanih uvoznikov bi točka primerjave morala biti takoj za tem, ko blago prečka mejo Unije, ne pa v poznejši fazi v okviru distribucijske verige, na primer ob prodaji blaga končnemu uporabniku.
Market share
Zato se upoštevajo pravila za konstruiranje izvozne cene iz člena 2(9) osnovne protidampinške uredbe in se uporabljajo po analogiji, tako kot se upoštevajo za določitev izvozne cene zaradi dampinga.
The volume of imports from the PRC more than tripled, increasing from close to 200000 pieces in 2014 to close to 700000 pieces in the investigation period.
Z uporabo člena 2(9) osnovne protidampinške uredbe po analogiji se lahko izračuna cena, ki je popolnoma primerljiva s ceno CIF (meja Unije), ki se uporablja pri proučitvi prodaje nepovezanim strankam.
The pace of growth accelerated between 2016 and the investigation period.
Ta pristop zagotavlja tudi skladnost v primerih, ko proizvajalec izvoznik blago proda neposredno nepovezani stranki (uvozniku ali končnemu uporabniku), ker se po tem scenariju cene pri nadaljnji prodaji že po definiciji ne bi uporabile.
In parallel, the share of the Union market held by imports from the PRC has increased from 18 % in 2014 to 35 % in the investigation period.
Drugačen pristop bi vodil v diskriminacijo med proizvajalci izvozniki, ki bi temeljila le na prodajnem kanalu, ki ga uporabljajo.
The CCCME and the CEIEB expressed their concerns regarding the reliability of the Chinese customs statistics submitted by the complainant and requested to disclose the detailed statistics and the source of these data.
Komisija meni, da na določitev ustrezne uvozne cene za izračun stopnje nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih in ciljnih cen ne bi smelo vplivati to, ali je izvoz namenjen povezanim ali neodvisnim gospodarskim subjektom v Uniji.
The complainant made available to the Commission the detailed statistics used to support its complaint.
Metodologija, ki jo je uporabila Komisija, zagotavlja enako obravnavo obeh primerov.
The complainant also made available, on the non-confidential version of the complaint, the aggregated export figures per year.
Da bi se omogočila poštena primerjava, je zato treba od cene pri nadaljnji prodaji nepovezanim strankam, ki jo je opravil povezani uvoznik, odbiti prodajne, splošne in upravne stroške in dobiček, da bi se dobila zanesljiva cena CIF.
The complainant furthermore indicated that the source was the Chinese customs, mentioned the codes used, and explained its methodology to exclude other products than the product concerned.
Te trditve so bile zato zavrnjene.
The Commission established through a verification of this data that the complainant had purchased these customs statistics from a long-established Chinese company specialising in this field, and that the same information was available from other Chinese service providers.
Po razkritju so nekateri proizvajalci izvozniki trdili, da pri zavrnitvi njihovega zahtevka za prilagoditev ravni trgovanja iz uvodne izjave 611 ni bila obravnavana razlika v cenah, nastala na ravni stranke, ki je proizvajalec originalne opreme.
The verification also evidenced that the complainant had accurately described in the open file the methodology followed to determine the exports of electric bicycles from the PRC.
Navedli so, da je za pošteno primerjavo cen potrebna prilagoditev navzgor, ki bi odražala pribitek stranke, ki je proizvajalec originalne opreme, in pribitek lastnika blagovne znamke po uvozu.
In addition, the detailed data submitted by the complainant was cross-checked against other sources of information and proved to be reliable.
Komisija je, kakor je že pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 611, obravnavala zahtevek za prilagoditev ravni trgovanja in zaključila, da ni stalnih in izrazitih razlik v cenah pri prodaji proizvajalcev originalne opreme in lastnikov blagovnih znamk v Uniji.
No other party proposed alternative source of information or methodology.
Prilagoditev kitajske uvozne cene navzgor s pribitkom uvoznikov blagovnih znamk, kar bi domnevno odražalo razliko na ravni trgovanja, bi izpodbila ugotovitev preiskave, da ni stalnih in izrazitih razlik v cenah pri prodaji proizvajalcev originalne opreme in lastnikov blagovnih znamk v Uniji.
The Commission also established that the detailed data and the identity of the company supplying this information were by nature confidential within the meaning of Article 29(1) of the basic Regulation.
Trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
Disclosing the identity of the supplier of the information would have a significant adverse effect upon the party supplying the information or upon the party from whom the information has been acquired.
Gospodarski položaj industrije Unije
In these circumstances, and given the level of disclosure of aggregated data and methodology on the non-confidential file, the Commission considered that the input data and the identity of the company reselling them are not necessary for the party concerned to exercise their rights of defence.
Splošne opombe
This argument had therefore to be rejected.
V skladu s členom 8(4) osnovne uredbe je proučitev vpliva subvencioniranega uvoza na industrijo Unije vključevala oceno vseh gospodarskih kazalnikov, ki so v obravnavanem obdobju vplivali na položaj industrije Unije.
Interested parties claimed that imports from the PRC have followed the market trends, since both the consumption in the Union and Chinese exports were growing.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 27, je bilo vzorčenje uporabljeno za ugotavljanje morebitne škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
It is however noted that the magnitude of growth between Chinese exports and the consumption in the Union is very different.
Komisija je pri ugotavljanju škode razlikovala med makro- in mikroekonomskimi kazalniki škode.
Between 2014 and the investigation period, Chinese imports grew by 250 %, while the consumption in the Union increased at a much slower pace by 74 %.
Makroekonomske kazalnike (proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, obseg prodaje, tržni delež, zaposlenost, rast, produktivnost, višina subvencijske stopnje in okrevanje od preteklega subvencioniranja) je Komisija ocenila na podlagi statističnih podatkov o uvozu ter informacij, ki so jih predložili konfederacija CONEBI in vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije.
Thus, while the trend was certainly the same, the magnitude of increase was very different.
Komisija je preverila podatek o potrošnji, ki ga je predložila konfederacija CONEBI.
Prices of the imports from the PRC and price undercutting
Ugotovila je, da te informacije dejansko temeljijo na informacijah, zbranih od nacionalnih združenj evropskih proizvajalcev, da izhajajo iz deklaracij ali razumnih ocen družb ter da so podprte z ustrezno dokumentacijo in raziskovalnimi postopki.
The average price of imports into the Union from the PRC developed as follows:
Ocenjeni so bili na podlagi ustreznih razmerij vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
Table 15
Ta pristop je v skladu z metodologijo, ki jo je pritožnik opisal v nezaupni različici pritožbe.
Import prices (EUR/piece)
Nobena zainteresirana stran ni predložila pripomb glede te metodologije.
The PRC
Na podlagi tega je Komisija menila, da je sklop makroekonomskih podatkov reprezentativen za gospodarski položaj industrije Unije.
The average price of imports from the PRC decreased by 11 % between 2014 and the investigation period, with a first decline of 4 % between 2014 and 2015 and a second decline of 12 % between 2016 and the investigation period.
Komisija je mikroekonomske kazalnike (povprečne prodajne cene na enoto, stroški dela, stroški na enoto, zaloge, dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, naložbe in donosnost naložb) ocenila na podlagi podatkov iz izpolnjenih vprašalnikov vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije, ki so bili ustrezno preverjeni.
As the detailed product type mix was not known due to the general nature of the Eurostat statistics, the evolution of prices is not completely reliable.
Podatki so se nanašali na vzorčene proizvajalce Unije.
However, the Commission noted that the average prices of imports from the PRC were markedly below those of both Union producers' and imports from other third countries than the PRC.
Makroekonomski kazalniki
In addition, while Chinese exporting producers expanded the range of products sold in the Union market and included more expensive electric bicycles, the average price of Chinese imports decreased.
Proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Following disclosure, a number of exporting producers claimed that the Commission had wrongly assessed the evolution of the average price of Chinese imports by observing that it was markedly below the average price of Union producers and third countries.
Celotna proizvodnja Unije, proizvodna zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti so se v obravnavanem obdobju gibale, kot sledi:
Those parties claimed that the average price of Chinese imports disclosed nothing about potential undercutting in the absence of a ‘like-for-like analysis’, namely an analysis on the basis of the product type.
Preglednica 16
They claimed that the Commission should acknowledge that a declining average price of Chinese imports may well just reflect a change in product mix.
Vir: Konfederacija CONEBI, vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije.
As indicated in recital (606), the Commission agrees that a change in product mix may influence the evolution of the average price of imports from the PRC.
Obseg proizvodnje (v kosih)
However, it remains that the average prices of imports from the PRC have been constantly and significantly below the average prices from any other source of supply despite a context in which the same interested parties claimed that the product concerned improved in quality and expanded to higher price segments.
Proizvodna zmogljivost (v kosih)
In addition, this declining trend has to be considered in relation with the like-for-like analyses which led to findings of substantial undercutting.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
The Commission determined the price undercutting during the investigation period by comparing:
Obseg proizvodnje industrije Unije se je kljub 3-odstotnemu zmanjšanju med letom 2016 in obdobjem preiskave v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 28 %.
the weighted average sales prices per product type of the four sampled Union producers charged to unrelated customers on the Union market, adjusted to an ex-works level; and
Na povečanje proizvodnje je vplivalo povečanje potrošnje.
the corresponding weighted average prices per product type of the imports from the sampled exporting producers in the PRC to the first independent customer on the Union market, established on a CIF basis with appropriate adjustments for customs duties of 6 % and importation costs.
Proizvodnjo je treba načrtovati pred zelo kratkimi prodajnimi sezonami, zato deloma temelji na napovedih prodaje.
GOC claimed that the price undercutting analysis should take into account various elements, such as the type of electric bicycle (e.g. electric city bike and electric mountain bike), the location of the engine (hub or central engine), the power of the battery and the material of which the electric bicycle is made (e.g. steel, aluminium, carbon).
Zmanjšanje proizvodnje med letom 2016 in obdobjem preiskave je bilo zato povezano zlasti z nenehnim zmanjševanjem tržnega deleža zaradi uvoza iz LRK, zaradi česar je morala industrija Unije pretehtati svoja pričakovanja.
It is confirmed that all these factors were taken into account when making the price undercutting analysis.
Proizvodna zmogljivost se je med letom 2014 in obdobjem preiskave povečala za 34 %.
The Commission made the price comparison on a type-by-type basis for transactions, duly adjusted where necessary, and after deduction of rebates and discounts.
V letih 2014 in 2016 se je povečala za 50 %, nato pa se je med letom 2016 in obdobjem preiskave zmanjšala za 10 %.
As for the level of trade of these transactions, it was established that both the sampled Union producers and sampled Chinese exporting producers sell to OEM customers as well as under their own brand.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti se je s 75 % leta 2014 zmanjšala na 72 % v obdobju preiskave.
It was therefore examined whether an adjustment for level of trade was warranted.
Med letoma 2014 in 2016 se je s 75 % zmanjšala na 66 % zaradi rasti zmogljivosti, ki je bila večja od rasti proizvodnje.
In this respect, it was examined whether there is a consistent and distinct difference in prices between sales to OEM customers and sales under their own brand.
Trend se je obrnil med letom 2016 in obdobjem preiskave, ko se je zmogljivost zmanjšala v večjem obsegu kot proizvodnja, zaradi česar se je izkoriščenost zmogljivosti s 66 % povečala na 72 %.
It was established, that no such consistent and distinct difference in prices exists for the sales of the sampled Union producers.
Izraz zmogljivost se nanaša na teoretično število električnih koles, ki se lahko proizvedejo na razpoložljivih proizvodnih linijah.
The result of the comparison was expressed as a percentage of the four sampled Union producers' turnover during the investigation period.
Proizvodne linije, ki se trenutno uporabljajo za proizvodnjo električnih koles, so zlasti preoblikovane obstoječe proizvodne linije, ki so se prej uporabljale za običajna kolesa.
It showed undercutting margins ranging from 16,2 % to 43,2 %.
Tako preoblikovanje se lahko izvede hitro in z majhnimi stroški.
Following disclosure, the GOC and an exporting producer with related importers in the Union submitted that the methodology followed by the Commission in calculating the undercutting margin applied Article 2(9) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation by analogy.
Zmogljivost proizvodnje električnih koles predstavlja majhen delež obstoječe zmogljivosti za proizvodnjo običajnih koles.
These parties claimed that in so doing the Commission violated Article 2 and Article 8 of the basic Regulation as well as EU and WTO case law.
Zato kazalnika za zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti nista zelo pomembna, saj ju je ob upoštevanju razvoja trga mogoče prilagoditi.
These parties claimed that the Commission's methodology had no legal basis and that the use of a constructed CIF price breached its obligations to compare prices where the competition takes place and at the same level of trade.
V tem konkretnem primeru je Komisija ugotovila še, da za preoblikovanje običajnih koles v električna kolesa tudi niso potrebne znatne naložbe (ki vplivajo na denarni tok, zmožnost zbiranja kapitala ali nadaljevanje dejavnosti), znatni fiksni stroški (z velikim učinkom na dobičkonosnost, povezano z izkoriščenostjo) ali omejitev povečanja proizvodnje.
The Commission recalls that, as far as undercutting is concerned, the basic Regulation does not prescribe any specific methodology.
Po razkritju so nekateri proizvajalci izvozniki trdili, da rast proizvodnje ni pomenila škode.
The institutions therefore enjoy a wide margin of discretion in assessing this injury factor.
Poleg tega so navedli, da so proizvajalci Unije od leta 2014 do leta 2016 povečali svojo zmogljivost.
That discretion is limited by the need to base conclusions on positive evidence and to make an objective examination, as required by Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation.
Te zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je bilo to mogoče le zato, ker industrija Unije do leta 2016 ni imela konkurence, kakor je bilo potrjeno v njihovi pritožbi.
