The Commission considered that the lack of correlation on the development of the profitability of the different tiers can be explained by the way the purchasing decisions were taken.
Ta načrt se uporablja za industrijo pnevmatik in Komisija je ugotovila pomembno število subvencij.
There is a time lag given the nature of the product and the range of options the user has depending on the situation.
Te sheme so podlaga za strukturno prednost kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov za dvig po vrednostni verigi s stalnim dostopom do poceni financiranja.
Indeed, the range of options the user has will depend on whether it has a tyre, and if so, whether the tyre it has could be further retreadable or not, the relative price of the available options, etc.
Če bi kakovostnejše pnevmatike iz LRK vse bolj konkurirale pnevmatikam Unije po subvencioniranih cenah, bi to znižalo stopnje industrije pnevmatik v Uniji ter s tem zmanjšalo njihovo zmogljivost za naložbe in inovacije.
For example, if the user needs to purchase a tyre, it will probably decide based on the whole range available.
To bi industrijo Unije verjetno prisililo, da bi se morala zanašati na pnevmatike nižje kakovosti, za katere so potrebne manjše naložbe v raziskave in razvoj, kar bi dodatno vplivalo na njihovo možnost protektiranja in s tem povzročalo škodo v vseh treh razredih.
However, if the user has a retreadable tyre already, the cost of retreading the tyre it has will probably compete with the cost of purchasing a new tier 3 net of the income of selling the carcass.
Komisija je zaradi slabega položaja v tretjem razredu in trenutnega obratnega kaskadnega učinka na drugi in prvi razred vztrajala pri svojem sklepu, da je industrija kot celota utrpela znatno škodo v smislu člena 8(4) osnovne uredbe.
Additionally, the information gathered by the Commission concerning different sizes commercialised in the Union market over the period considered did not support the argument that prices and costs were lower because of the relatively stronger presence of smaller tyres on the market.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da je bila industrija Unije kot celota pod velikim pritiskom.
The data showed indeed that the product mix on the market was stable and remains concentrated on the main dimensions.
V obravnavanem obdobju so se zmanjšali proizvodne zmogljivosti, naložbe in zaposlovanje, kljub stalnemu nižanju prodajnih cen pa je to obdobje zaznamovala tudi znatna izguba tržnega deleža.
Moreover, such a reduction of the average size of the product could not be found in the Eurostat data for Chinese imports, revealing that, on the contrary the weight of the imported tyres from China increased by 3 % between 2014 and the investigation period.
Kitajski uvoz je občutno nelojalno znižal prodajne cene industrije Unije.
Conversely, the Commission noted overall structural adaptations made by the Union industry in order to reduce costs, as a result of the ‘knock-on effect’ on the different tiers at play.
Tudi dobičkonosnost industrije Unije kot celote se je zmanjšala, in sicer celo hitreje proti koncu obravnavanega obdobja.
Some interested parties claimed that there were substantial imports (accounting for a market share of 11,9 %; up by more than 1 % compared to 2014) from other countries and these were made at decreasing prices (over the period considered, the average import price dropped by 17 %).
Poleg tega se je povečala zaloga vseh vrst pnevmatik, zlasti v obdobju preiskave, kar je negativno vplivalo na finančno stanje industrije Unije.
Their pricing also indicated that these imports were aimed at the tier 1 and/or tier 2 segment of the market.
Številni mali in srednji izvajalci protektiranja so prenehali proizvodnjo in niso mogli izkoristiti okrevanja gospodarstva.
The imports from Turkey, Thailand, Japan, South Korea as well as other countries (excluding Russia) have consistently undercut prices of Union producers in tier 1 in a range between 10 %-25 %.
Komisija je poudarila tudi pomembnost prispevkov združenj AIRP in Bundesverband Reifenhandel und Vulkaniseur-Handwerk (italijanskega oziroma nemškega združenja izvajalcev protektiranja) ali družbe Plan Europa B.V.
The Giti Group claimed that the price decreases in tier 1 and tier 2 may have been caused by imports of tier 1 and tier 2 tyres from other countries and not by price pressure from Chinese tier 3 tyres.
(izvajalca protektiranja iz Unije) ali družbe Vipal Europe (dobavitelja tekalnih plasti), pri čemer je ugotovila, da je uvedba začasnih protidampinških ukrepov že prinesla pozitiven zagon v sektorju.
Again, such a situation would fatally undermine the Commission's theory.
Zlasti izvajalci protektiranja v več državah članicah Unije od maja 2018 že dobivajo več naročil in menijo, da se bodo ti optimistični obeti nadaljevali, če bodo začasni protidampinški ukrepi postali dokončni.
With regard to that claim, the Commission found that the analysis advanced by the Giti Group was flawed as it was considering that all imports were sold directly to the first independent customers in the Union.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 8(6) osnovne uredbe proučila, ali je subvencionirani uvoz iz zadevne države povzročil znatno škodo industriji Unije.
That theory disregards that average prices may be affected by the fact that of some of these imports are sold to interested related parties.
V skladu s členom 8(7) osnovne uredbe je proučila tudi druge znane dejavnike, ki bi lahko hkrati povzročali škodo industriji Unije.
Moreover, imports statistics did not provide an average price per tier, so that the Commission was not in a position to examine import prices on a tier basis, as was requested by the Giti Group.
Komisija je zagotovila, da se morebitna škoda, ki so jo povzročili drugi dejavniki in ne subvencionirani uvoz iz zadevne države, ni pripisala temu subvencioniranemu uvozu.
Therefore, the analysis proposed cannot be carried out with the information that the Commission was able to collect so far during the investigation, or that which was received from interested parties, and was rejected accordingly.
Ti dejavniki so: uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav, izvoz proizvajalcev Unije in razvoj stroškov.
Overall, the injury indicators show that the Union industry as a whole has been under intensive pressure.
Dejansko se je obseg prodaje industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju nekoliko zmanjšal, medtem ko se je obseg uvoza iz LRK povečal za 32 %, s čimer se je izkoristila večina povečanja potrošnje Unije.
There was a reduction of production capacity, investment and employment over the period of investigation and a significant loss of market share despite decreasing sales prices.
Na splošno je v obravnavanem obdobju tržni delež, ki ga je izgubila industrija Unije (– 5,3 odstotne točke), prevzel kitajski uvoz (+ 4,2 odstotne točke).
Market share was gained by imports of the product concerned at the expense of the Union industry, irrespective of segmentation, resulting in over 4200 jobs lost.
Analiza kazalnikov škode v uvodnih izjavah od 686 do 784 kaže, da se je gospodarski položaj industrije Unije in zlasti njen finančni položaj poslabšal, kar sovpada s prihodom velikega obsega subvencioniranega uvoza iz LRK.
While still around 14 % for the industry as a whole, profitability declined by 1,7 percentage points between 2014 and the investigation period and by 3,2 percentage points between 2015 and the investigation period.
Cene tega uvoza nelojalno nižajo cene industrije Unije in povzročajo precejšen pritisk na zniževanje cen na trgu Unije.
It was also established that Chinese imports were substantially undercutting the Union industry prices, which, in turn, pointed to a direct and significant impact on the deteriorating performance and declining capacity, production, employment and other injury indicators of the Union industry.
Ugotovljeno občutno povečanje uvoza in znatno nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen sta glavna dejavnika, ki ju je treba obravnavati v tem primeru.
The negative development was most felt in the tier 3 where many SMEs retreaders exited the market and could not benefit from the economic recovery in the sector, which was ultimately captured by the low-priced imports.
Kitajski izvozniki so uspeli precej povečati svoj tržni delež na račun industrije Unije.
It is recalled that the companies mostly active in tier 3 account for around 20 % of the total Union production.
V obdobju preiskave večina celotnega obsega subvencioniranega uvoza s 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 losses of tier 3 are not sustainable and put the survival of the entire retreading activity in the Union at risk.
Poleg tega je Komisija ugotovila, da so tako velike količine po subvencioniranih cenah vplivale na oblikovanje cen.
Moreover, the effects of the price pressure also affected the prices of the higher tiers.
Prej je oblikovanje cen narekoval prvi razred, tj. cene drugega razreda so se oblikovale na podlagi cen prvega razreda, cene tretjega razreda pa na podlagi cen drugega razreda.
The growing price pressure from tier 3 tyres resulting from low-priced imports, mostly relating to tier 3 tyres, has triggered a similar development in tier 2, where sales prices fell by 12 % in the period considered, and even the prices for tier 1 tyres had to be lowered by 9 % to remain competitive.
Zdaj je obratno: cene drugega razreda se oblikujejo na podlagi cen tretjega razreda, cene prvega razreda pa na podlagi cen drugega razreda.
Indeed, given the price interconnection between the tiers, even the best-performing tier 1 was suffering from the reverse-cascading price pressure across the three tiers explained in the previous chapter.
To je povzročilo znižanje prodajnih cen v vseh razredih.
This resulted in industrial depletion, loss of value throughout the supply chain of all three tiers, and degradation of the quality of the tyres available on the Union market.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da je bilo povečanje subvencioniranega uvoza iz LRK odločilno pri znatni škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Moreover, the intense price competition in all three tiers has negative consequences for the capacity utilisation and leads to rising stocks of the industry, coupled with less cash flow and investments.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da Komisija ni pokazala, kako so obseg in ravni cen uvoza kitajskih pnevmatik posamično ali skupaj bistveno vplivali na industrijo Unije.
Finally, the loss of the retreading industry in the Union also affects the profitability that the companies active in tier 1 and 2 can achieve.
Trdile so, da čeprav se je uvoz od kitajskih izvoznikov v Unijo v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 1124101 kos, se je tudi poraba v Uniji povečala za 1341615 kosov.
In addition, the complainants alleged that there was a risk of further aggravation of injury.
Zato povečanje kitajskega uvoza po konkurenčnih cenah samo po sebi ne bi moglo škodovati prodaji industrije Unije na trgu.
In their view, numerous measures have been imposed in other import export markets which could cause immediate trade diversion.
Poleg tega dejstvo, da so morali nekateri proizvajalci Unije izstopiti iz segmenta trga in da se je določanje cen na trgu Unije spremenilo, ne pomeni nujno, da je kitajski uvoz odgovoren za povzročanje znatne škode industriji Unije.
Moreover, the Union producers are said to be under threat on their export markets, as some countries such as Turkey had initiated a safeguard investigation.
Dejstvo, da so bile cene kitajskih izvoznikov nižje od cen industrije Unije ter da proizvajalci Unije niso mogli prevzeti povečanja potrošnje in so morali znižati svoje cene, da bi bili bolj konkurenčni, ne zadošča za dokaz, da je kitajski uvoz odgovoren za škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
The risk of aggravation would also be linked to massive overcapacities in the PRC, where unused capacities represent about 40 % of current Chinese exports.
Komisija je znova poudarila, da so kitajske subvencionirane cene v obdobju preiskave znatno nelojalno znižale prodajne cene industrije Unije v vseh razredih.
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.
V povprečju so bile bistveno nižje v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju.
Finally, they foresee a continuous improvement of tyres from the PRC.
Poleg tega dejstva, da so uvozne cene med letoma 2014 in 2015 ostale stabilne, da so se znižale leta 2016 in ostale na isti nizki ravni v obdobju preiskave (glej uvodno izjavo 650), ni mogoče pojasniti z razvojem cen surovin.
If higher-quality tyres from the PRC were allowed to compete with Union tyres at subsidized prices, this would reduce the Union tyre industry margins and hence its capacity to invest and innovate.
Te so se znižale na začetku obravnavanega obdobja, v obdobju preiskave pa so se zvišale.
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.
Kljub temu kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki niso zvišali cen.
The Giti Group claimed that the improved performance of retreaders may have much to do with increasing raw materials costs rather than the imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures.
Iz tega je razvidno, da so želeli povečati svoj tržni delež v škodo industrije Unije in so dejansko tudi ga.
With respect to the profitability of the Union industry, the Commission acknowledged the critical comments received from the China National Tire Group that tier 3 is loss-making in the investigation period (– 0,7 %) while the profitability of tiers 1 and 2 are in the double digits.
Ta trditev je vsebinsko netočna.
However, the Commission did not share the conclusion that this indicator, showing a difference in profitability depending on the tiers, could negate a finding of material injury for the Union industry as a whole.
Kot je pojasnjeno v oddelku 4.3 glede medsebojne povezave med novimi in protektiranimi pnevmatikami ter med razredi, so poleg tega različni razredi v simbiozi in skupaj tvorijo en izdelek.
All relevant indicators show that the Union industry has suffered material injury in tier 3.
Pritisk na ceno in obseg zaradi poceni kitajskih pnevmatik v tretjem razredu vpliva tudi na ceno v drugih razredih in s tem na industrijo Unije kot celoto.
In addition to the negative profit margin, there were a significant decrease in employment, in particular for the retreading business.
Isti proizvajalec izvoznik je tudi trdil, da bi bilo treba analizo škode in s tem tudi analizo vzročne zveze izvesti ob upoštevanju, da so pnevmatike tretjega razreda cenejše, ker imajo bistveno krajšo življenjsko dobo kot pnevmatike prvega in drugega razreda.
The level of undercutting of 31 % is significant in tier 3, where the volume effect of Chinese competition is also felt the most.
Tržni delež bi treba ovrednotiti s primerjavo tržnega deleža glede na vrednost, ne na količino.
As shown in Table 18, there is a noticeable and constant (year after year) shift of new tyre sales by Union producers towards tier 3.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega sta zmanjšanje tržnega deleža industrije Unije in povečanje tržnega deleža kitajskega proizvajalca izvoznika veliko manj izrazita.
In 2016, Union sales shown in Table 18 stood at 5 million tyres in tier 3.
Komisija je priznala, da je življenjska doba pnevmatik pomemben vidik analize, ki dokazuje medsebojno povezavo med razredi.
That development continued in 2017.
Vendar se ni strinjala, da bi ta vidik negativno vplival na ugotovitev vzročnosti.
The forecast for 2018 shows an even higher increase in that shift of sales to tier 3 thus clearly demonstrating the price pressure that Union producers in tiers 1 and 2 find themselves under.
Tudi če je sicer tržni delež kitajskih pnevmatik v Uniji manjši po vrednosti zaradi „krajše življenjske dobe“ kot „na enoto“, to ne spremeni dejstva, da je bila industrija Unije pod pritiskom in je utrpela znatno škodo ravno zaradi vse večje privlačnosti kitajskih pnevmatik „z nizko ceno in za majhno število prevoženih kilometrov“ za potrošnike.
In that regard, as laid down in section 4.3, the Commission maintained that there is a strong interconnection between tiers with a reverse-cascading effect.
Zato Komisija meni, da povečanje tržnega deleža uvoza iz LRK bodisi na osnovi vrednosti bodisi obsega potrjuje ugotovitev o vzročni zvezi.
Contrary to the comments from many interested parties, there is only one market for tyres from the Union producers' point of view, who divide it into three tiers mainly for reasons of marketing strategy and differences in quality.
Ena od zainteresiranih strani je trdila, da je znižanje cene kitajskega uvoza posledica spremembe v naboru izdelkov, ki jo je povzročilo naraščajoče povpraševanje po manjših pnevmatikah.
This means that Union producers take into account the developments in all three tiers.
Vendar ni bilo dokazov, ki bi podprli to trditev.
Hence, the price and volume pressure in tier 3 has a direct impact on the other two tiers as well, as is set out in recital (798) et seq.
Čeprav bi velikost lahko vplivala na razvoj povprečnih cen, je kitajski uvoz vsekakor nelojalno nižal prodajne cene industrije Unije tudi za enake velikosti, saj se primerjava vedno izvede glede na vrsto izdelka.
Moreover, consumers of tyres chose between tyres from all three tiers.
Komisija je zato to trditev zavrnila.
They balance their willingness to pay a higher price with the expected lifetime of the tyres and the associated costs.
Drugi dejavniki, ki so bili proučeni v analizi vzročnosti v skladu s členom 8(7) osnovne uredbe so bili: uvoz iz drugih držav, izvoz industrije Unije in razvoj stroškov industrije Unije.
It follows that the observed shift towards tier 3 tyres exercises an ongoing pressure on the other two tiers as well.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
In that respect, the Commission further noted that the subsidized imports concern mainly tier 3.
Preglednica 23
In view of the interconnection between tiers and the growing importance of tier 3, the Commission considered that the negative trends already observed for the Union industry as a whole can only but continue in the near future.
Vir: Eurostat.
The risk of further aggravation of injury is also evidenced by the 13th Five Year Plan for the Development of the Chemical and the Petrochemical industry in China, which aims at technological innovation, structural adjustment and green development.
Država
This plan applies to the tyres industry and the Commission has found an important number of subsidies.
Turčija
They underpin that Chinese exporting producers have the structural advantage to climb up the value chain with continued access to cheap financing.
Obseg uvoza iz Turčije
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, and so causing injury to all three tiers.
Uvozne cene na enoto iz Turčije
Because of the injurious situation in tier 3 and the presently-felt reverse-cascading effect on tiers 2 and 1, the Commission maintained its conclusion that the industry as a whole suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 8(4) of the basic Regulation.
Delež v celotnem obsegu uvoza Unije
Therefore, the Commission concluded that the Union industry as a whole was under intense pressure.
Koreja
There was a reduction of production capacity, investment and employment over the period considered and a remarkable loss of market share despite the ongoing decrease in sales prices.

In addition, stocks of all types of tyres increased, in particular during the investigation period, negatively impacting the financial situation of the Union industry.
Obseg uvoza z Japonske
Many SMEs retreaders stopped production and could not benefit from the economic recovery.

The Commission also attached importance to the submissions of AIRP, Bundesverband Reifenhandel und Vulkaniseur-Handwerk (respectively the Italian and German retreaders association) or Banden Plan Europa B.V.
Rusija
(Union retreader) or Vipal Europe (tread supplier) noting that the imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures has already triggered a positive momentum in the sector.

CAUSATION
Tajska
In accordance with Article 8(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the subsidized imports from the country concerned caused material injury to the Union industry.
Obseg uvoza s Tajske
In accordance with Article 8(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission also examined whether other known factors could at the same time have injured the Union industry.
Uvozne cene na enoto s Tajske
The Commission ensured that any possible injury caused by factors other than the subsidized imports from the country concerned was not attributed to the subsidized imports.
Druge tretje države
Those factors are: imports from other third countries, export sales performance of the Union producers and costs evolution.
Obseg uvoza iz vseh drugih držav
Effects of the subsidized imports
Uvozne cene na enoto iz vseh drugih držav
Prices of subsidized imports from the PRC significantly undercut Union industry prices during the investigation period with undercutting margins of 21 % leading to decreasing market share and profitability for the Union industry (respectively from 72,4 % to 67,1 % and from 15,4 % in 2014 to 13,7 % during the period considered).
Skupaj vse tretje države, razen LRK
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.
Tržni delež uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je rahlo povečal, in sicer z 10,8 % na 11,9 % v obravnavanem obdobju.
Overall, during the period considered, the Union industry's loss of market share (– 5,3 percentage points) was taken by the Chinese imports (+ 4,2 percentage points).
Od vsega uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav so bile samo pri ruskem uvozu povprečne cene podobne povprečnim cenam kitajskega uvoza.
The analysis of the injury indicators in recitals (686) to (784) 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 subsidized imports from the PRC.
Povprečne cene uvoza zadevnega izdelka so bile precej višje od povprečnih cen kitajskega uvoza.
The prices of these imports undercut those of the Union industry and have exerted a significant downward pressure on prices in the Union market.
Tržni delež uvoza zadevnega izdelka iz Rusije se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal z 0,9 % na 1,3 %.
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.
Vendar pa omejene količine ruskega uvoza ne zmanjšujejo vzročne zveze med subvencioniranim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Chinese exporters managed to increase significantly its market share at the expense of the Union industry.
Komisija je zato predhodno sklenila, da je glavni vzrok za škodo ostal subvencionirani uvoz iz LRK, čeprav je imel uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav morda omejen učinek na položaj industrije Unije.
During the investigation period, the majority of the total volume of subsidized Chinese imports concentrates on tier 3, forcing several of Union producers in that tier, in particular SME retreaders, to exit the market.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da bi morala Komisija zagotoviti nadaljnjo analizo vpliva ruskega uvoza, katerega cena je na ravni kitajskega uvoza.
