Over the period considered the Chinese imports prices into the Union decreased by 11 %.
Zato je Komisija po potrebi prilagodila cene vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije za poprodajne in garancijske storitve za tretji razred.
The China National Tire Group and Pirelli claimed that the Commission's analysis lacks any reference to the market segmentation and reports only Eurostat figures, without any reference to import figures collected from the sampled exporting producers.
Stopnji nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih in ciljnih cen sta bili določeni brez ponderiranja v smislu uvodne izjave 692.
As explained in recital (697), the economic situation of the Union industry was analysed on an aggregated basis and, in certain key microeconomic indicators, was also analysed at the level of tiers given the Union market segmentation.
Nasprotno „preiskovalnemu organu ni treba […] ugotoviti obstoja nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen za vsako vrsto izdelka v preiskavi ali glede na celotni obseg blaga, ki sestavlja domači podobni izdelek.
However, in the undercutting calculations the prices from the sampled exporting producers were indeed compared to the prices of the Union producers taking into account the specific tier where they belonged.
Ne glede na to mora preiskovalni organ objektivno proučiti učinek dampinškega uvoza na domače cene.“ V obravnavanem primeru je bila Komisija zadovoljna z zelo visoko stopnjo ujemanja med vrstami izdelkov proizvajalcev Unije in proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki se prodajajo na trgu Unije (na splošno je ujemanje med 80- in 90-odstotno).
The China National Tire Group and Pirelli further claimed that import prices were significantly affected by currency rate fluctuations.
Združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC sta trdila, da bi morala Komisija razkriti dodatne informacije o fizikalnih lastnostih vrst pnevmatik, uporabljenih za primerjavo, saj je zelo verjetno, da obstajajo razlike, ki niso upoštevane v kontrolnih številkah izdelka, vendar jih je treba prilagoditi.
The Commission failed to see the relevance of the currency exchange rate as all prices used for the comparison purposes in the injury margin calculation are denominated in EURO.
Trdila sta tudi, da enostavno nista mogla opredeliti takih razlik, saj nimata informacij o izdelkih, ki so jih prodajali vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije.
Hence, the fluctuation between USD and EUR did not play a role in determining either the undercutting or level of the measures.
Nadalje sta trdila, da je v poročilu pritožbenega organa STO v zadevi ES – pritrdilni elementi podprt ta pristop.
Therefore, that claim was rejected.
Komisija se ni strinjala s to trditvijo.
Some interested parties (Pirelli, the Giti Group) claimed that according to Eurostat Chinese import prices (mainly related to tier 3 tyres) have decreased over the past three years only due to declining raw material prices (by EUR 15,6 per item).
Poudarila je, da se navedeno poročilo pritožbenega organa nanaša na nezagotovitev potrebnih informacij v zvezi z lastnostmi zadevnega izdelka, uporabljenimi za določitev normalne vrednosti.
The parties stated that the prices of raw materials (natural rubber and oil) significantly decreased, with a consistent impact on import prices during the period of investigation.
Posledično proizvajalci niso mogli odločati o tem, ali je treba zahtevati prilagoditve zaradi prilagoditve ravni trgovanja ali ne, da bi se v okviru izračuna dampinga zagotovila poštena primerjava na podlagi člena 2(10) osnovne protidampinške uredbe.
The evolution of the average price of imports into in the Union from the country concerned with the evolution of main raw materials prices developed as follows:
Vendar je bilo v poročilu odbora v isti zadevi navedeno, da „čeprav je jasno, da splošne zahteve glede objektivne proučitve in pozitivnih dokazov [iz člena 3(2) osnovne uredbe] omejujejo polje proste presoje preiskovalnega organa pri analizi nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen, to ne pomeni, da se uporabljajo zahteve iz člena 2(10) osnovne uredbe glede ustreznega upoštevanja razlik, ki vplivajo na primerljivost cen“.
Table 4
Zato sklicevanje na to sodno prakso ni mogoče v tej zadevi, kjer združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC ugibata o nerazkritju informacij o „vseh ostalih ustreznih lastnostih“ ter razlikah, ki pri izračunih nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen in škode niso zajete v kontrolni številki izdelka.
Evolution of import and main raw materials prices
Poleg tega je Komisija nelojalno znižanje prodajnih cen izračunala v skladu s svojo običajno metodologijo, ki zagotavlja pošteno primerjavo, v kontrolnih številkah izdelka pa se ustrezno upoštevajo fizikalne in vse druge razlike med vrstami izdelka, ki jih prodajajo proizvajalci Unije in proizvajalci izvozniki.
Source: Eurostat Comext and the Complaint
Poleg tega bi morali proizvajalci izvozniki, če bi menili, da imajo njihovi izdelki posebne lastnosti, ki se razlikujejo od lastnosti izdelkov Unije in ki, po njihovem mnenju, niso zajete v kontrolni številki izdelka, to navesti pravočasno, kar pa se ni zgodilo.
PRC import price (EUR/item)
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da Komisija nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen ni določila za celotno obravnavano obdobje.
Natural Rubber:
Podroben izračun nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen je bil izveden le za obdobje preiskave.
Butadien US cents per lb
Zadevne strani so menile, da Komisija take ocene ni izvedla.
Brent indicator USD per barrel
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 658, je Komisija v skladu z veljavno sodno prakso izvedla izračune na podlagi preverjenih podatkov za obdobje preiskave, in sicer za posamezno kontrolno številko izdelka in posamezni razred.
Over the period considered, the Chinese import prices have not reflected the evolution of raw material prices.
Zainteresiranim stranem so bili ob spoštovanju njihovih procesnih pravic razkriti vsi pomembni izračuni.
While the Chinese import prices remained stable between 2014 and 2015, the price of main raw materials have decreased significantly by 20 % for natural rubber and by around 45 % of butadiene and Brent indicators.
Splošna stopnja nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen v obdobju preiskave je bila približno 21-odstotna, kar je po mnenju Komisije visok odstotek.
While the Chinese import prices decreased by 12 % between 2015 and 2016, the raw material prices remained rather stable.
Vendar sta združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC menila, da je Komisija nelojalno znižanje prodajnih cen verjetno ugotovila le za majhno podskupino prodaje vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
Finally, for the period 2016 and the investigation period where most of raw material prices have significantly increased as from the second quarter 2016 until first quarter 2017, the Chinese import prices remained stable.
Po njunem mnenju mora Komisija oceniti morebitni cenovni pritisk, ki bi ga lahko kitajski uvoz izvajal na preostalo prodajo industrije Unije, za katero ni ugotovila nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen.
The Commission concluded that the Chinese import prices were disconnected from the evolution of raw material prices.
Zadevna trditev je bila zavrnjena, ker se je z uvozom kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ujemal precejšen delež prodaje vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije (med 80 in 90 %).
Price undercutting
Poleg tega je bila ugotovljena precejšnja tehtana povprečna stopnja nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen v vseh treh razredih, ki je bila od 18- do 24-odstotna.
The Commission determined the price undercutting during the investigation period by comparing:
Skupina China National Tire Group in družba Heuver sta zahtevali spremembo CIF cen skupine Aeolus Group, da bi se upoštevali stroški družbe Heuver po uvozu.
the weighted average sales prices per product type and segment of the sampled Union producers charged to unrelated customers on the Union market, adjusted to an ex-works level; and
Družba Pirelli je trdila, da mora Komisija pri primerjavi pnevmatik družbe Pirelli in drugih pnevmatik, ki jih proizvaja in prodaja industrija Unije in ki se prodajajo (neodvisnim) trgovcem na drobno, upoštevati njene dodatne stroške.
the corresponding weighted average prices per product type and segment of the imports from the sampled Chinese exporting producers to the first independent customer on the Union market, established on a cost, insurance, freight (CIF) basis, with appropriate adjustments for customs duties and post-importation costs.
Komisija je ugotovila, da družba Heuver ni bila povezana s skupino China National Tire Group.
The price comparison was made on a type-by-type basis for transactions at the same level of trade, duly adjusted where necessary, and after deduction of rebates and discounts.
Zato prilagoditev ni bila utemeljena.
The result of the comparison was expressed as a percentage of the sampled Union producers' turnover during the investigation period.
Kar zadeva družbo Pirelli, je bila tehtana povprečna cena CIF določena v skladu s členom 2(9) osnovne protidampinške uredbe, kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi 118 začasne protidampinške uredbe.
It showed a weighted average undercutting margin of between 18 % and 24 % by the imports of the product concerned from the country concerned on the Union market.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah od 673 do 678, je bilo po mnenju Komisije ustrezno uporabiti člen 2(9) osnovne protidampinške uredbe po analogiji za izračune v protidampinških zadevah, ob upoštevanju izjave o reševanju sporov v skladu s Sporazumom o izvajanju člena VI Splošnega sporazuma o tarifah in trgovini iz leta 1994 ali dela V sporazuma o subvencijah in izravnalnih ukrepih, ki predvideva dosledno obravnavo protidampinških in protisubvencijskih zadev.
Moreover, the weighted average undercutting margin in the three tiers was found to be significant: between 18 % and 20 % for tier 1 and between 22 % and 24 % for tier 2 and tier 3.
Več strani je trdilo, da se Komisija pri analizi nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen in določitvi stopnje ne more zanašati na konstruirane izvozne cene ter da je uporabljena metodologija v nasprotju s členom 8(1)(a) in 8(2) osnovne uredbe.
The substantial level of undercutting demonstrates the pronounced effect of subsidized imports in this case.
Poleg tega je skupina Hankook Group trdila, da bi jo bilo treba pri izračunih stopnje škode obravnavati kot en sam gospodarski subjekt.
Several interested parties claimed that the price undercutting calculations should be established by analogy with the methodology used for the calculation of the dumping margin on the basis of a comparison of a weighted average sales prices per product type and segment of the sampled Union producers charged to unrelated customers with a weighted average of prices of all comparable export transactions.
Prvič, člen 8(1) osnovne uredbe se nanaša na učinek subvencioniranega uvoza, ki lahko povzroči škodo proizvajalcem Unije, ne pa na nadaljnjo prodajno ceno družbe (povezanega uvoznika) v Uniji drugi stranki.
After final disclosure, several parties reiterated similar claims.
Drugič, kar zadeva nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen, osnovna uredba ne določa nobene posebne metodologije v zvezi s takimi izračuni.
Moreover, the CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that the Commission should adjust the Chinese prices upwards or the Union prices for retreaded tyres downwards to ensure that the prices compared reflect a similar mileage and for after sales and warranty services provided by the Union producers selling retreaded tyres, in particular for tier 3 as the Chinese producers did not provide such services.
Komisija ima zato široko polje proste presoje pri ocenjevanju tega dejavnika škode.
After the final disclosure, the parties reiterated similar claims.
Navedena prosta presoja temelji na potrebi po utemeljitvi sklepov na pozitivnih dokazih in objektivnem preverjanju, kot se to zahteva v členu 8(1) osnovne uredbe.
As explained in recitals (658) and (659), the methodology of the price undercutting comparison considered the average sales price per product type (PCN) and per segment.
Kar zadeva elemente, ki so se upoštevali pri izračunu nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen (zlasti izvozno ceno), mora Komisija opredeliti točko, na kateri se prvič pojavi (ali bi se lahko pojavilo) konkuriranje proizvajalcem Unije na trgu Unije.
The price undercutting was calculated on the basis of comparable transactions by reference to the product type or type-by-type.
Ta točka je dejansko nakupna cena prvega nepovezanega uvoznika, saj se lahko družba načeloma odloči, ali bo dobavljala pri industriji Unije ali pri čezmejnih strankah.
As within each tier, the tyres are considered similar in terms of mileage, no overall adjustment was thus needed.
Nasprotno proučitev cen nepovezanih uvoznikov pri nadaljnji prodaji ne izraža točke, kjer poteka dejanska konkurenca.
The same is true for warranty services, with the exception of tier 3, whereby in contrast to the Chinese producers, the Union producers may indeed provide after sales and warranty services.
To je le točka, kjer uveljavljena prodajna struktura izvoznika poskuša najti stranke, vendar je že za točko, v kateri je bila sprejeta odločitev o uvozu.
Consequently, the Commission adjusted the prices of the sampled Union producers for after-sales and warranty services for tier 3 when necessary.
Ko izvoznik vzpostavi svoj sistem povezanih družb v Uniji, so se te družbe že odločile, da bodo blago nabavljale iz tujine.
The undercutting and the underselling margins were established without any weighting within the meaning of recital (692) below.
Zato bi bilo treba primerjati točko takoj po vstopu blaga na ozemlje Unije in ne pozneje v distribucijski verigi, npr. pri prodaji končnemu uporabniku blaga.
Regarding the claim on the analogy between dumping and injury calculations, the Commission noted that the dumping calculations indeed require to take ‘all comparable export transactions’ into account when calculating dumping margins for the like product as a whole.
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.
By contrast, ‘an investigating authority is not required […] to establish the existence of price undercutting for each of the product types under investigation, or with respect to the entire range of goods making up the domestic like product.
Drugačen pristop bi vodil do diskriminacije med proizvajalci izvozniki, ki bi temeljila le na prodajnem kanalu, ki ga uporabljajo.
That said, an investigating authority is under an obligation to examine objectively the effect of the dumped imports on domestic prices’.
Poleg tega ta pristop zagotavlja tudi dosledne rezultate v primerih vzporednih protidampinških in protisubvencijskih preiskav.
In the case at hand, the Commission was satisfied with the very high level of matching between the Union producers' and the exporting producers' product types sold on the Union market (the overall matching is ranging between 80 % and 90 %).
V tem primeru ni mogoče upoštevati nominalne vrednosti uvozne cene, ker sta proizvajalec izvoznik in uvoznik povezana.
The CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that the Commission should disclose further information about the physical characteristics of the tyre types that were used for comparison purposes as it is highly likely that there are differences that are not reflected in the PCNs but which merit an adjustment.
Zato je treba za določitev zanesljive uvozne cene po običajnih tržnih pogojih tako ceno konstruirati z uporabo cene pri nadaljnji prodaji povezanega uvoznika prvi neodvisni stranki kot izhodišča.
They claimed that they were simply unable to identify such differences as they have no information about the products sold by the sampled Union producers.
Pri izvedbi te rekonstrukcije so 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 za namene dampinga.
The parties further argued that the WTO Appellate Body Report in EC – Fasteners supports this approach.
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 Commission did not accept this argument.
Da bi se omogočila poštena primerjava, je zato treba od cene pri nadaljnji prodaji nepovezanim strankam, ki jo je opravil povezani uvoznik, odbiti PSA-stroške in dobiček, da bi se dobila zanesljiva cena CIF.
It pointed out that the Appellate Body Report mentioned above is about a failure to provide the necessary information regarding the characteristics of a given product, which was used for determining the normal value.
Več strani je Komisijo pozvalo, naj razkrije naravo nekaterih stroškov po uvozu in uporabljeni delež ter pri tem navede vir.
This led to a situation in which the producers were not in a position to decide about the necessity to request level of trade adjustments or not in order to ensure a fair comparison under Article 2(10) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation in the context of dumping calculations.
Poleg tega je skupina Xingyuan Group trdila, da bi bilo treba te stalne stroške razporediti kot stalni znesek na pnevmatiko namesto kot delež, ki bo nepravično kaznoval izvoznike, katerih cene so na dnu lestvice.
However, the Panel report in the same case stated that ‘while it is clear that the general requirements of objective examination and positive evidence of Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation limit an investigating authority's discretion in the conduct of a price undercutting analysis, this does not mean that the requirements of Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation with respect to due allowance for differences affecting price comparability are applicable’.
Komisija je opozorila, da je vrednost CIF povečala za 3,2 % za stroške po uvozu (od tega je prevoz predstavljal 60 %, manipuliranje 32 % in carinski stroški 8 %).
Therefore, this jurisprudence cannot be relied upon in the present case where the CRIA and the CCCMC make speculations about the absence of disclosure of information about ‘any other relevant characteristics’ and differences not reflected in the PCNs for the purpose of undercutting and injury calculations.
Deleži so bili izračunani na podlagi preverjenih stroškov po uvozu na kos, nato pa so bili izraženi kot delež cene CIF preverjenih nepovezanih uvoznikov.
Furthermore, the Commission carried out the undercutting calculation in line with its usual methodology which ensures a fair comparison whereby PCNs sufficiently reflect physical and all other differences between the product types sold by the Union producers and the exporting producers.
Zbornica CCCMC in združenje CRIA sta trdila, da bi bilo treba pri pošteni primerjavi v preiskavi za namene določitve nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih in ciljnih cen upoštevati razlike med novimi in protektiranimi pnevmatikami.
Moreover, should the exporting producers consider that their products have specific features that are different to the characteristics of the Union products and which, in their view, are not captured by the PCN, they should have made such claims in due course, which was not the case.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 117, imajo nove in protektirane pnevmatike enake osnovne fizikalne lastnosti in enake osnovne uporabe.
Some interested parties claimed the Commission did not establish undercutting for the whole period considered.
Skupina Hankook Group je ugotovila neskladje med stopnjo dobička, sporočeno za prvi razred, in ciljno stopnjo dobička, uporabljeno za določitev stopnje nelojalnega nižanja ciljnih cen.
A detailed undercutting calculation was only made for the investigation period.
Komisija je proučila stopnje nelojalnega nižanja ciljnih cen in ugotovila stvarno napako pri določitvi stopnje nelojalnega nižanja ciljnih cen za prvi in drugi razred.
While average Chinese import prices in previous periods can be compared with sales prices by the Union industry, such a comparison is essentially meaningless and inaccurate as (i) no separate data are available for Chinese import prices by tier; and (ii) these average prices do not take into account the possibility that the product mix may have changed during the period.
Komisija je zato popravila izračun stopnje nelojalnega nižanja ciljnih cen.
The WTO Appellate Body Report in China – HP-SSST (EU) requested that an investigating authority has to assess the significance of the price undercutting by the dumped imports in relation to the proportion of domestic production for which no price undercutting was found.
Komisija je na podlagi zahteve skupine Hankook Group razkrila dodatne informacije o postavkah PSA-stroškov, ki so se odštele od cene prvi neodvisni stranki, da bi se dosegla raven cene franko tovarna.
The parties considered that the Commission did not carry out such assessment.
Komisija je potrdila, da so se odšteli naslednji stroški: prevoz, stroški zavarovanja, manipulativni stroški, stroški natovarjanja in povezani stroški, stroški pakiranja in kredita, popusti ter provizije.
As stated in recital (658), the Commission performed in accordance with the applicable jurisprudence the calculations on the basis of the verified data for the investigation period, per PCN and tiers.
Komisija od cen proizvajalcev Unije ni odštela posrednih prodajnih stroškov, stroškov raziskav in razvoja, financiranja, trženja ali dobička.
All relevant calculations were disclosed to the interested parties respecting their procedural rights.
Gospodarski položaj industrije Unije
The overall level of price undercutting during the investigation period was around 21 %, which the Commission considers significant.
Splošne opombe
The CRIA and the CCCMC, however, considered that it is likely that the Commission only found undercutting for a small subset of sales by the sampled Union producers.
V skladu s členom 8(4) osnovne uredbe je proučitev vpliva subvencioniranega uvoza na industrijo Unije vključevala oceno vseh gospodarskih kazalnikov, ki so vplivali na položaj industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju.
In their view, the Commission has to assess the price pressure, if any, that could be exercised by the Chinese imports on the remaining Union industry sales for which it did not find undercutting.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah od 24 do 32, je bilo vzorčenje uporabljeno za ugotavljanje morebitne škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
That claim was rejected because the volume of sales of the sampled Union producers that matched the imports of the Chinese exporting producers is significant (between 80 % and 90 %).
Komisija je za določitev škode razlikovala med makro- in mikroekonomskimi kazalniki škode.
Moreover, the weighted average undercutting margin in the three tiers was found to be significant, between 18 % and 24 %.
Komisija je makroekonomske kazalnike ocenila na podlagi podatkov iz pritožbe, statističnih podatkov Eurostata in navedb združenja ETRMA, kakor je bilo ustrezno, tako da je zagotovila, da so se podatki nanašali na vse proizvajalce Unije.
The China National Tire Group and Heuver requested that the Aeolus' CIF prices should be revised in order to reflect Heuver's post-importation costs.
Mikroekonomske kazalnike je Komisija ocenila na podlagi podatkov iz izpolnjenih vprašalnikov, ki so jih predložili vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije, in navedb združenja ETRMA.
Pirelli claimed that the Commission must take its additional costs into account when comparing the Pirelli tyres to other tyres produced and sold by the Union industry and to the (independent) retailers.
Podatki so se nanašali na vzorčene proizvajalce Unije.
The Commission found that Heuver was not related to the China National Tire Group.
Za oba sklopa podatkov je bilo ugotovljeno, da sta reprezentativna za gospodarski položaj industrije Unije.
Therefore, no adjustment was warranted.
Makroekonomski kazalniki so: proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, obseg prodaje, tržni delež, rast, zaposlenost, produktivnost in višina subvencijske stopnje.
