The investigation showed that the following products have the same basic physical and technical characteristics, as well as the same basic uses:
izdelek, ki ga izbrani proizvajalec proizvaja in prodaja v primerljivi državi, in
the product produced and sold by the exporting producers on the domestic market of the PRC,
Komisija je sklenila, da so ti izdelki podobni izdelki v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
the product produced and sold by the selected producer in the analogue country, and
Eden od kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je trdil, da so bili v obseg izdelka nepravilno vključeni posebni izdelki za jedrsko in vojaško uporabo, ki bi jih bilo treba izključiti iz preiskave, ali pa bi bilo treba za njihovo izključitev sprožiti pregled obsega izdelka.
the product produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry.
Komisija je poudarila, da je v skladu s členom 11(9) osnovne uredbe obseg izdelka ostal enak kot v prvotni preiskavi.
The Commission concluded that these products are like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
V obseg izdelka so bili vključene številne različne vrste izdelka, ki imajo enake ali podobne osnovne tehnične in fizikalne lastnosti.
One Chinese exporting producer claimed that the product scope wrongly included special products for nuclear and military uses, and that those products should have been excluded from the investigation, or alternatively a product scope review to exclude them should have been launched.
V skladu s sodno prakso je treba pri določanju, ali sta si izdelka podobna tako, da sta del istega izdelka, oceniti, ali imata enake tehnične in fizikalne lastnosti, enake osnovne končne uporabe ter enako razmerje med ceno in kakovostjo.
The Commission pointed out that the product scope remained the same as in the original investigation in line with Article 11(9) of the basic Regulation.
V zvezi s tem bi bilo treba oceniti tudi zamenljivost in medsebojno konkurenčnost takih izdelkov.
The product scope included a wide variety of product types which share the same or similar basic technical and physical characteristics.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so vse vrste izdelka izdelane iz nerjavnega jekla, pri čemer so uporabljeni proizvodni postopki, potrebni za proizvodnjo brezšivnih cevi, zaradi česar se uporabljajo podobni stroji, proizvajalci pa lahko glede na povpraševanje menjajo med proizvodnjo različnih variant izdelka.
According to case-law, when determining whether products are alike so that they form part of the same product, it needs to be assessed whether they share the same technical and physical characteristics, and have the same basic end-uses and the same price-quality ratio.
Zato proizvajalci konkurirajo za naročila, ki pokrivajo širok asortiment vrst izdelka, čeprav vse različne vrste izdelka niso neposredno zamenljive.
In that regard, the interchangeability of, and competition between, those products should also be assessed.
Poleg tega te vrste izdelka po podobni proizvodni metodi proizvajajo in prodajajo tako industrija Unije kot kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki.
The investigation found that all the product types are made from stainless steel, using manufacturing processes required to produce seamless pipes, thus using similar machines, such that producers can switch between different variants of the product, according to demand.
Zato ni bilo nobene podlage za sklepanje, da izdelki za jedrsko in vojaško uporabo ne spadajo pod obseg izdelka.
Therefore, although all the different product types are not directly interchangeable, producers are competing for orders covering a broad range of product types.
Morebitni pregled obsega izdelka bi tvoril ločeno preiskavo, zato ne bi spadal na področje te preiskave.
Moreover, these product types are produced and sold by both the Union industry and the Chinese exporting producers using a similar production method.
Poleg tega kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik ni prevzel nikakršne pobude za začetek tovrstnega pregleda obsega izdelka.
Therefore there was no basis to consider that products for nuclear and military uses were not part of the product scope.
Trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
A possible product scope review would constitute a separate investigation and was therefore not within the scope of the present investigation.
VERJETNOST NADALJEVANJA ALI PONOVITVE DAMPINGA
Moreover, the Chinese exporting producer itself did not undertake any initiative for initiating such a product scope review.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe proučila, ali obstaja verjetnost, da se bo damping iz LRK zaradi izteka veljavnih ukrepov nadaljeval ali ponovil.
The claim was therefore rejected.
Damping
LIKELIHOOD OF CONTINUATION OR RECURRENCE OF DUMPING
Primerljiva država
In accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the expiry of the measures in force would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping from the PRC.
V obvestilu o začetku je Komisija povabila vse zainteresirane stranke, da predložijo pripombe o njenem namenu, da bi se ZDA uporabile kot tretja država s tržnim gospodarstvom za namen določitve normalne vrednosti v zvezi z LRK.
Dumping
Komisija je prav tako opredelila Indijo kot možno primerljivo državo glede na veliko število proizvajalcev in velik izvoz v Unijo.
Analogue country
Poleg tega so bile v obvestilu o začetku kot druge možne primerljive države navedene Japonska, Republika Koreja, Norveška, Turčija in Ukrajina.
In the Notice of Initiation, the Commission invited all interested parties to comment on its intention to use the USA as a market economy third country for the purpose of establishing normal value in respect of the PRC.
Zahteve za sodelovanje so bile poslane znanim proizvajalcem v Indiji, na Japonskem, v Republiki Koreji, na Norveškem, v Turčiji, Ukrajini in ZDA.
The Commission also identified India as a potential analogue country in view of its large number of producers and large exports to the Union.
V državah, v katerih proizvajalci niso bili znani, so se informacije o proizvajalcih zahtevale od nacionalnih organov.
Furthermore, other potential analogue countries mentioned in the Notice of Initiation were Japan, the Republic of Korea, Norway, Turkey and Ukraine.
Komisija je prejela izpolnjene vprašalnike od enega proizvajalca izvoznika v Indiji in od treh proizvajalcev izvoznikov v ZDA.
Requests to cooperate were sent to the known producers in India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Norway, Turkey, Ukraine and the USA.
Izbira primerljive države
In countries where no producers were known, information about producers was requested from the national authorities.
Kar zadeva izbiro med Indijo in ZDA, je Komisija izbrala Indijo iz naslednjih razlogov: v Indiji je bilo več kot 20 znanih domačih proizvajalcev, zato so bile cene na indijskem trgu posledica resnične konkurence.
Questionnaire replies were received from one exporting producer in India and from three exporting producers in the USA.
Indijski proizvajalec je uporabil enako proizvodno metodo, kot jo pretežno uporablja kitajska industrija, in njegova paleta izdelkov je bila bolj primerljiva s kitajskim izvozom kot paleta izdelkov ZDA.
Choice of the analogue country
Poleg tega v prvotni preiskavi ZDA izrecno niso bile izbrane, ker so se, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 48 začasne uredbe prvotne preiskave, proizvajalci v ZDA pri uvozu osnovnih surovin in končnih izdelkov zanašali na svoje matične družbe v EU in so imeli v ZDA omejeno proizvodno dejavnost, s katero so v glavnem pokrivali prilagojena in nujna naročila.
As regards the choice between India and the USA, the Commission selected India on the following grounds: there were more than 20 known domestic producers in India, and hence the prices in the Indian market were the result of genuine competition.
Proizvajalci v ZDA so imeli visoke stroške predelave, ki so odražali njihove posebne proizvodne razmere, navedeni stroški pa so pomenili visoke domače cene na trgu ZDA.
The Indian producer used the same production method as the one predominantly used by the Chinese industry, and its product range was more comparable with the Chinese exports than the US product range.
Indijski proizvajalec je predložil izpolnjen vprašalnik in vse zahtevane dodatne informacije.
Moreover, in the original investigation, the USA was specifically not selected, because, as outlined in recital (48) of the provisional regulation of the original investigation, the US producers relied on imports of basic raw materials and finished products from the EU parent companies, and maintained a limited production activity in the USA, mainly to respond to customized or time-critical orders.
Iz razlogov iz uvodne izjave 45 so se predloženi podatki šteli za točne.
The US producers had high processing costs reflecting their particular manufacturing circumstances and those costs translated into high domestic prices in the US market.
Pripombe zainteresiranih strani o izbiri primerljive države
The Indian producer provided a questionnaire reply and all the requested additional information.
Industrija Unije je izrazila svoje zavzemanje, da se kot primerljiva država izberejo ZDA.
For the reasons set out in recital (45), the data provided was considered accurate.
Trdila je, da je velik kitajski izvoz v Indijo izkrivljal domače cene v Indiji, zato ni bila ustrezna primerljiva država.
Comments from interested parties on the choice of the analogue country
Komisija je ugotovila, da domnevna izkrivljanja indijskih domačih cen niso bila utemeljena.
The Union industry expressed its preference for the USA to be selected as the analogue country.
Prav tako je Komisija ugotovila, da je indijski proizvajalec v vsakem primeru uporabljal pretežno surovine, ki jih je proizvedel sam, in da je bila njegova domača prodaja dobičkonosna.
It argued that the large Chinese exports to India distorted the domestic prices in India, thereby making it an unsuitable analogue country.
Zato ni bilo nobenih znakov, da so domnevna izkrivljanja povzročila izjemno nizke domače cene indijskega proizvajalca.
The Commission noted that the alleged distortions of the Indian domestic prices were not substantiated.
Kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki so trdili, da je oddelek 15 Protokola o pristopu LRK k STO po 11. decembru 2016 prenehal veljati, zato metodologija primerljive države ni več utemeljena.
The Commission also observed that in any event the Indian producer used predominantly raw material produced in-house and that its domestic sales were profitable.
Komisija je opozorila, da je bila v skladu s členom 2(7) veljavne osnovne uredbe normalna vrednost določena na podlagi podatkov iz primerljive države.
Therefore, there were no indications that the alleged distortions caused the domestic prices of the Indian producer to be abnormally low.
Ta trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
The Chinese exporting producers claimed that section 15 of the Protocol of Accession of the PRC to the WTO had lapsed after 11 December 2016 and therefore the analogue country methodology was no longer warranted.
Po dokončnem razkritju je en kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik podvomil o izbiri Indije kot primerljive države in trdil, da v dokončnem razkritju izbira Indije ni bila ustrezno utemeljena.
The Commission recalled that in line with Article 2(7) of the applicable basic Regulation, normal value was determined on the basis of data from the analogue country.
Prvič, trdil je, da Indija ni ustrezna primerljiva država, saj paleta indijskih izdelkov ni v zadostni meri primerljiva z izvozom kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v Unijo.
This claim was therefore rejected.
Kot drugo je trdil, da ker ni bil izveden preveritveni obisk pri indijskem proizvajalcu, Komisija ni mogla zagotoviti, da v indijsko domačo prodajo niso bili vključeni posebni izdelki za vojaško in jedrsko uporabo.
Following definitive disclosure, one Chinese exporting producer questioned the choice of India as the analogue country and argued that the definitive disclosure did not sufficiently justify the choice of India.
Kot tretje je navedel, da so bile glede na začasne ugotovitve Komisije v protidampinški preiskavi v zvezi z ulitki iz Kitajske cene železove rude v Indiji izkrivljene.
First, it claimed that India was not an appropriate analogue country because the Indian product range was insufficiently comparable to the Chinese exporting producer's exports to the Union.
Zaradi tega domnevnega izkrivljanja naj bi bile normalne vrednosti, uporabljene pri izračunu dampinga, napihnjene.
Second, it alleged that since no verification visit to the Indian producer had been carried out, the Commission could not guarantee that no special products for military and nuclear uses were included in the Indian domestic sales.
Kot zadnje je trdil, da so bile indijske normalne vrednosti izjemno visoke, kar dokazuje dejstvo, da so bile španske prodajne cene v Uniji v povprečju nižje od indijskih povprečnih cen.
Third, it alleged that iron ore prices in India were distorted, according to the Commission's provisional findings in the anti-dumping investigation concerning castings from China.
Trdil je, da bi bila, če bi bila Španija uporabljena kot primerljiva država, stopnja dampinga negativna.
As a result of this alleged distortion, the normal values used in the dumping calculation were claimed to be inflated.
Komisija je ugotovila, da so bili razlogi za izbiro Indije kot analogne države natančno opredeljeni v uvodni izjavi 35, pri čemer za kitajskega proizvajalca izvoznika noben od teh razlogov ni bilo sporen.
Fourth, it argued that the Indian normal values were abnormally high, as shown by the fact that the Spanish sales prices in the Union were on average lower than the Indian average prices.
Kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik prav tako ni trdil, da bi bilo treba izbrati drugo primerljivo državo.
It argued that if Spain would have been used as the analogue country, the dumping margin would have been negative.
Kar se tiče posameznih trditev je bila prva trditev, ki se nanaša na primerljivost palet izdelkov, zavrnjena, saj je imela Indija v primerjavi s kitajskim izvozom v Unijo kot celoto največje število primerljivih vrst izdelka med razpoložljivimi potencialnimi primerljivimi državami, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 35.
The Commission noted that the reasons for choosing India as analogue country were set out in detail in recital (35) and that none of those reasons were disputed by the Chinese exporting producer.
Posamezna raven primerljivosti z določenim kitajskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom ne more razveljaviti izbire Indije kot primerljive države, ker je bila ocena narejena na ravni celotne države.
The Chinese exporting producer also did not claim that a different analogue country should have been chosen.
Drugič, Komisija je poudarila, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 30, da so izdelki za jedrsko in vojaško uporabo spadali pod obsega izdelka, tako da ta točka ne more razveljaviti izbire Indije kot primerljive države.
As regards the specific claims, the first argument concerning the comparability of the product range was rejected, since India had the highest number of comparable product types amongst the available potential analogue countries, when compared with the Chinese exports to the Union as a whole, as explained in recital (35).
Ločeno vprašanje pravilne primerjave med različnimi vrstami izdelka je bilo obravnavano v uvodnih izjavah 60 in 66.
The individual level of comparability with a specific Chinese exporting producer could not invalidate the choice of India as analogue country, since the assessment was made at the level of the entire country.
Tretjič, trditev, da je domnevno izkrivljanje cen železove rude vplivalo na normalno vrednost, ni bila utemeljena.
Second, the Commission pointed out that as explained in recital (30), products for nuclear and military uses were part of the product scope, so this point could not invalidate the choice of India as analogue country.
V vsakem primeru železova ruda ni bila uporabljena kot neposredna surovina za zadevni izdelek, prav tako niso bili predloženi dokazi o kakršnem koli posrednem vplivu na indijske domače cene.
The separate issue of the correct comparison between different product types was addressed below in recitals (60) and (66).
Nasprotno, preiskava Komisije, na katero se je skliceval kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik, je zavrnila trditev, da bi prišlo do izkrivljanja cen železove rude.
Third, the claim that an alleged price distortion of iron ore had an impact on the normal value was not substantiated.
Trditev glede izkrivljanja železove rude je bila zato zavrnjena.
In any event, iron ore was not used as a direct raw material for the product concerned, nor was any evidence provided of any indirect effect on the Indian domestic prices.
Četrtič, dejstvo, da bi bila izbira druge primerljive države ugodnejša za določenega kitajskega proizvajalca izvoznika, ne predstavlja veljavne podlage za izbiro ali zavrnitev primerljive države.
Moreover, the Commission investigation to which the Chinese exporting producer referred had, on the contrary, rejected the claim that there would be an iron ore price distortion.
Poleg tega je primerjava s Španijo, ki jo je uporabil kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik, temeljila na povprečnih cenah širokih kategorij izdelka in ni upoštevala posebnih vrst izdelka.
The allegation concerning distortion of iron ore was therefore rejected.
Zato s podatki ni bilo dokazano, da so bile indijske cene izjemno visoke.
Fourth, the fact that choosing a different analogue country would have been more favourable to a specific Chinese exporting producer was not a valid basis for the choice or rejection of an analogue country.
Trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
Moreover, the comparison with Spain put forward by the Chinese exporting producer was based on average prices of broad product categories and did not take into account the specific product types.
V vsakem primeru pa Španija sama ne bi bila možna izbira za primerljivo državo, saj je država članica Unije.
Therefore the data did not demonstrate that the Indian prices were abnormally high.
Komisija je opozorila, da možnost izbire celotne Unije kot primerljive države ne bi spremenila ugotovitve, da se je damping nadaljeval.
The argument was therefore rejected.
Razlog za to je, ker je preiskava pokazala, da so kitajske cene nelojalno nižale cene Unije, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 126.
In any event, Spain alone would not have been a possible choice of analogue country, it being a Member State of the Union.
Komisija je zato sklenila, da nobena od trditev ni razveljavila izbire Indije kot primerljive države, in potrdila, da je bila Indija ustrezna primerljiva država.
The Commission noted that the alternative of choosing the Union as a whole as the analogue country would not have changed the finding that dumping continued.
Na podlagi dodatnih pojasnil je kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik ponovil svoje nasprotovanje uporabi Indije kot primerljive države in uporabi metodologije primerljive države na splošno.
This is because the Chinese prices were shown to undercut the Union prices, as explained in recital (126).
Poleg svojih prejšnjih trditev je trdil tudi, da izbira Indije za primerljivo državo ni veljavna, ker ni bil opravljen preveritveni obisk v prostorih indijskega proizvajalca.
The Commission therefore concluded that none of the claims invalidated the choice of India as analogue country and confirmed that India was an appropriate analogue country.
Komisija je navedla, da preveritveni obisk ni bil predpogoj za izbiro primerljive države in je lahko relevanten le pri presoji pravilnosti podatkov, ki jih je predložil indijski proizvajalec.
Following additional clarifications, the Chinese exporting producer repeated its opposition to the use of India as the analogue country and to the use of the analogue country method in general.
Po skrbni oceni je ugotovila, da so podatki, ki jih je predložil indijski proizvajalec, skladni in popolni ter da je indijski proizvajalec Komisiji v okviru njenih preiskav že v preteklosti zagotovil točne podatke.
In addition to its earlier claims, it also alleged that the absence of a verification visit to the Indian producer invalidated the choice of India as analogue country.
Indijski podatki so se zato šteli za točne, čeprav ni bil opravljen preveritveni obisk.
The Commission noted that a verification visit was not a pre-condition for the choice of the analogue country and may only be relevant in the assessment of the correctness of the information submitted by the Indian producer.
Druge trditve so bile zavrnjene že v uvodnih izjavah 40, 42 in 43, zato niso spremenile ugotovitev Komisije.
Upon careful assessment, the Commission concluded that the data provided by the Indian producer was coherent and complete, and the Indian producer had a previous track record of providing accurate data to the Commission's investigations.
Kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik je po dodatnih pojasnilih iz uvodne izjave 53 trdil, da je bila Unija izbrana za dodatno primerljivo državo, pri čemer zainteresirane strani niso imele možnosti, da glede tega predložijo pripombe.
The Indian data was therefore deemed an accurate basis despite the absence of a verification visit.
Komisija je pojasnila, da je bila primerljiva država Indija in da ni bilo druge primerljive države.
The other claims were already rejected in recitals (40), (42) and (43) and therefore did not alter the Commission's findings.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 51 in 53, so se informacije iz izpolnjenih vprašalnikov drugih proizvajalcev uporabile za določitev normalne vrednosti le, če je bilo to potrebno zaradi odsotnosti prodaje kategorije izdelka „Zaščitne cevi („casing“) in proizvodne cevi („tubing“), ki se uporabljajo pri vrtanju za pridobivanje nafte in plina“ v primerljivi državi Indiji.
Following the additional clarifications explained in recital (53), the Chinese exporting producer alleged that the Union had been chosen as an additional analogue country but without a possibility for the interested parties to comment on the choice.
Normalna vrednost
The Commission clarified that the analogue country was India and there was no additional analogue country.
V skladu s členom 2(2) osnovne uredbe je Komisija najprej proučila, ali je bil celoten obseg podobnega izdelka, ki ga je indijski proizvajalec na domačem trgu prodal neodvisnim strankam, reprezentativen v primerjavi s celotnim obsegom izvoza iz LRK v Unijo, tj. ali je celoten obseg takšne domače prodaje predstavljal vsaj 5 % celotnega obsega izvoza zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
As explained in recitals (51) and (53), information from the questionnaire replies of other producers was used to determine normal values only where necessary due to the absence of sales of the product category ‘Casing and tubing, of a kind used in drilling for oil and gas’ in the analogue country India.
Komisija je za proizvajalce izvoznike v LRK naknadno ugotovila, katere vrste izdelka, prodane na domačem trgu v primerljivi državi, so bile enake vrstam izdelka, prodanim za izvoz v Unijo, ali primerljive z njimi.
Normal value
Komisija je proučila, ali je bila domača prodaja vsake od teh vrst izdelka v primerljivi državi reprezentativna v skladu s členom 2(2) osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission first examined whether the total volume of domestic sales of the like product to independent customers made by the Indian producer was representative in comparison with the total export volume from the PRC to the Union, namely whether the total volume of such domestic sales represented at least 5 % of the total volume of export sales of the product concerned to the Union.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je domača prodaja potekala v običajnem poteku trgovanja v skladu s členom 2(4) osnovne uredbe.
The Commission subsequently identified the product types sold domestically in the analogue country that were identical or comparable with the product types sold for export to the Union by the exporting producers in the PRC.
Analiza je pokazala, da je bila indijska domača prodaja dobičkonosna in da je bila tehtana povprečna prodajna cena višja od proizvodnih stroškov.
