First, regarding the Chinese import data, the Commission refers to Section 3.2 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/671 (‘the registration Regulation’) and to section 4.3.1 of the present Regulation, where that argument is sufficiently addressed.
Nazadnje, elementi, ki se nanašajo na inovacije in posnemanja ali subvencije v EU, niso vplivali na oceno Komisije, ki je podlaga za začetek tega primera, saj ne spadajo med dejavnike, ki se upoštevajo v ta namen.
Second, regarding the overcapacity in China, it is indeed relevant to examine overcapacities for electric bicycles and bicycles together, since production capacity for bicycles can be converted to electric bicycles with little cost or effort (see recital (634), and there is evidence on record that this is indeed regularly done by companies producing both products.
Komisija je zato sklenila, da je pritožba vsebovala zadostne dokaze o subvencioniranju in posledični znatni škodi, kar je zadostovalo za začetek preiskave.
Finally, the elements concerning innovation and replication or subsidies in the EU had no weight on the Commission's assessment underlying the initiation of this case, as they do not fall within the factors considered for this purpose.
Registracija uvoza
The Commission therefore concluded that the complaint contained sufficient evidence of subsidisation and of resulting material injury that was sufficient to justify the initiation of the investigation.
Pritožnik je 31. januarja 2018 vložil zahtevek za registracijo uvoza električnih koles iz LRK v skladu s členom 24(5) osnovne uredbe.
Registration of imports
Komisija je 3. maja 2018 objavila uredbo o registraciji, s katero je za uvoz električnih koles iz LRK s 4. majem 2018 postala obvezna registracija.
On 31 January 2018, the complainant submitted a request for registration of imports of electric bicycles from the PRC under Article 24(5) of the basic Regulation.
Zainteresirane strani so v odziv na zahtevek za registracijo predložile pripombe, ki so bile obravnavane v uredbi o registraciji.
On 3 May 2018, the Commission published the registration Regulation making imports of electric bicycles from the PRC subject to registration as of 4 May 2018 onwards.
Komisija je potrdila, da so pritožniki predložili zadostne dokaze, ki upravičujejo potrebo po registraciji uvoza.
Responding to the request for registration, interested parties submitted comments that were addressed in the registration Regulation.
Zlasti uvoz in tržni deleži iz LRK so se skokovito povečali.
The Commission confirmed that the complainants submitted sufficient evidence justifying the need to register imports.
Pripombe so bile zato zavrnjene.
In particular, imports and market shares from the PRC had sharply increased.
Obdobje preiskave in obravnavano obdobje
The comments were therefore rejected.
Preiskava subvencioniranja in škode je zajemala obdobje od 1. oktobra 2016 do 30. septembra 2017 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: obdobje preiskave ali OP).
Investigation period and period considered
Proučitev trendov, pomembnih za oceno škode, je zajela obdobje od 1. januarja 2014 do 30. septembra 2017 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: obravnavano obdobje).
The investigation of subsidisation and injury covered the period from 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2017 (‘the investigation period’ or ‘IP’).
Zainteresirane strani
The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from 1 January 2014 to 30 September 2017 (‘the period considered’).
Komisija je v obvestilu o začetku zainteresirane strani pozvala, naj se ji javijo, če želijo sodelovati v preiskavi.
Interested parties
Poleg tega je o začetku preiskave posebej obvestila pritožnika, druge znane proizvajalce Unije, znane proizvajalce izvoznike in kitajsko vlado, znane uvoznike, dobavitelje in uporabnike, trgovce in združenja, za katera je znano, da jih to zadeva, ter jih povabila k sodelovanju.
In the Notice of initiation, the Commission invited interested parties to contact it in order to participate in the investigation.
Zainteresirane strani so imele možnost, da predložijo pripombe o začetku preiskave in zahtevajo zaslišanje pred Komisijo in/ali pooblaščencem za zaslišanje v trgovinskih postopkih.
In the Notice of initiation, the Commission stated that it might sample the interested parties in accordance with Article 27 of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je v obvestilu o začetku navedla, da je izbrala začasni vzorec proizvajalcev Unije.
Sampling of Union Producers
Izbrala ga je na podlagi največjega reprezentativnega obsega prodaje podobnega izdelka v obdobju preiskave, pri čemer je zagotovila porazdelitev po vrstah izdelka in geografsko porazdelitev.
In its Notice of initiation, the Commission stated that it had provisionally selected a sample of Union producers.
Ta vzorec je vključeval štiri proizvajalce Unije.
The Commission selected the sample on the basis of the highest representative sales volumes of the like product in the investigation period whilst ensuring a spread in product types and a geographical spread.
Vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije so predstavljali 60 % celotnega obsega proizvodnje in 58 % celotne prodaje industrije Unije.
This sample consisted of four Union producers.
Komisija je zainteresirane strani pozvala, naj predložijo pripombe glede začasnega vzorca.
The sampled Union producers accounted for 60 % of the total production volume and 58 % of total sales of the Union industry.
Glede na navedeno je Komisija potrdila, da je vzorec reprezentativen za industrijo Unije.
In light of the above, the Commission confirmed that the sample is representative of the Union industry.
Da bi se Komisija lahko odločila, ali je vzorčenje potrebno, in da bi v tem primeru lahko izbrala vzorec, je nepovezane uvoznike pozvala, naj predložijo informacije, določene v obvestilu o začetku.
Sampling of importers
Zahtevane informacije je predložilo 21 nepovezanih uvoznikov, ki so se strinjali z vključitvijo v vzorec.
To decide whether sampling was necessary and, if so, to select a sample, the Commission asked unrelated importers to provide the information specified in the Notice of initiation.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 27(1) osnovne uredbe izbrala vzorec petih nepovezanih uvoznikov na podlagi največjega obsega uvoza v Unijo.
Twenty-one unrelated importers provided the requested information and agreed to be included in the sample.
V skladu s členom 27(2) osnovne uredbe so bila z vsemi znanimi zadevnimi uvozniki opravljena posvetovanja o izbiri vzorca.
In accordance with Article 27(1) of the basic Regulation, the Commission selected a sample of five unrelated importers on the basis of the largest volume of imports into the Union.
Glede na navedeno je Komisija sklenila, da je vzorec reprezentativen za sodelujoče uvoznike.
In accordance with Article 27(2) of the basic Regulation, all known importers concerned were consulted on the selection of the sample.
Vzorčenje proizvajalcev izvoznikov
In light of the above, the Commission concluded that the sample is representative of the cooperating importers.
Da bi se Komisija lahko odločila, ali je vzorčenje potrebno, in da bi v tem primeru lahko izbrala vzorec, je vse proizvajalce izvoznike iz LRK pozvala, naj zagotovijo informacije, določene v obvestilu o začetku.
Sampling of exporting producers
Poleg tega je organe kitajske vlade zaprosila, naj navedejo morebitne druge proizvajalce izvoznike, ki bi jih zanimalo sodelovanje v preiskavi, in/ali vzpostavijo stik z njimi.
To decide whether sampling was necessary and, if so, to select a sample, the Commission asked all exporting producers in the PRC to provide the information specified in the Notice of initiation.
Oseminsedemdeset proizvajalcev izvoznikov/skupin proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz zadevne države je zagotovilo zahtevane informacije in se strinjalo z vključitvijo v vzorec.
In addition, the Commission requested the authorities of the GOC to identify and/or contact other exporting producers, if any, that could be interested in participating in the investigation.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 27(1)(b) osnovne uredbe na podlagi obsega izvoza zadevnega izdelka iz uvodne izjave 60, podane v nadaljevanju, v Unijo in tudi ob upoštevanju ravni naložb v zvezi z zadevnim izdelkom v obdobju preiskave ter geografske razširjenosti izbrala naslednji vzorec, v katerem je pet skupin proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
Seventy-eight exporting producers/group(s) of exporting producers in the country concerned provided the requested information and agreed to be included in the sample.
To naj bi bil največji reprezentativni obseg izvoza v Unijo, ki ga je mogoče razumno preiskati v razpoložljivem času:
In accordance with Article 27(1)(b) of the basic Regulation, the Commission selected the following sample of five groups of exporting producers on the basis of the volume of the product concerned referred to in recital (60) below exported to the Union also taking into consideration the level of investments relating to the product concerned during the investigation period and the geographical spread.
Jinhua Vision Industry Co., Ltd. in Yongkang Hulong Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. (skupina Jinhua Vision Group),
This is considered to be the largest representative volume of exports to the Union which could reasonably be investigated within the time available:
Vzorčene skupine proizvajalcev izvoznikov (v nadaljnjem besedilu: vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki) so predstavljale 43 % celotnega uvoza zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
Jinhua Vision Industry Co., Ltd. and Yongkang Hulong Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd.
V skladu s členom 27(2) osnovne uredbe so bila z vsemi znanimi zadevnimi proizvajalci izvozniki in kitajsko vlado opravljena posvetovanja o izbiri vzorca.
(Jinhua Vision Group),
Pripombe glede predlaganega vzorca so predložili pritožnik in trije proizvajalci izvozniki, od katerih je bil eden vključen v vzorec, dva pa ne.
The sampled groups of exporting producers (‘the sampled exporting producers’) represented 43 % of the total imports of the product concerned to the Union.
Pritožnik je navedel, da sta Tianjin in Jiangsu provinci z največjo proizvodnjo električnih koles.
In accordance with Article 27(2) of the basic Regulation, all known exporting producers concerned, and the GOC, were consulted on the selection of the sample.
V zvezi s tem je pritožnik zatrjeval, da v predlagani vzorec ni zajetih dovolj družb s sedežem v Tianjinu, in predlagal, da se v vzorec vključi drug proizvajalec izvoznik.
Comments on the proposed sample were received from the complainant and three exporting producers, one included, two not included in the sample.
Komisija je ugotovila, da sta imeli dve družbi iz vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ali skupine družb sedež v Tianjinu.
The complainant observed that Tianjin and Jiangsu are the provinces with the largest production of electric bicycles.
Komisija je zato menila, da so bile družbe s sedežem v občini Tianjin dovolj pokrite.
In this regard, the complainant argued that the proposed sample underrepresented the Tianjin-based companies and proposed to insert another exporting producer in the sample.
En sodelujoči proizvajalec izvoznik, ki ni bil vzorčen, je zaprosil, da ga vključijo v vzorec.
The Commission observed that two companies within the sampled exporting producers or group of companies were based in Tianjin.
Njegova prošnja je temeljila na treh elementih.
Therefore, the Commission considered that the companies based in the Municipality of Tianjin were sufficiently covered.
Prvič, družba je v Unijo izvažala prek povezanega trgovca.
One cooperating exporting producer, which was not sampled, requested to be included in the sample.
Drugič, družba je uvozila veliko količino vhodnih materialov.
Its request was based on three elements.
Tretjič, vključitev družbe bi zagotovila večjo geografsko razpršenost vzorca.
First, the company exported to the Union via a related trader.
Komisija prvih dveh elementov ni štela za merilo za izbiro vzorca, ki bi moral v skladu s členom 27(1) temeljiti na največjem reprezentativnem obsegu izvoza izdelka, ki je predmet preiskave in ki ga je mogoče preiskati v razpoložljivem času.
Second, the company imported a large amount of input materials.
Poleg tega je med družbami, ki so se javile med vzorčenjem, nekaj takih, ki v Unijo prodajajo prek povezanega trgovca in ki so tudi izvažale vhodne materiale.
Third, including the company would result in a higher geographical spread of the sample.
Povrhu je Komisija geografsko razširjenost, doseženo s predlaganim vzorcem, ki je zajel tri najpomembnejše regije za proizvodnjo električnih koles, že štela za zadostno, zato je bila prošnja zavrnjena.
The Commission did not consider the first two elements to be a criterion for selecting a sample, which should be based in accordance with Article 27(1) on the largest representative volume of exports of the product subject to an investigation that can be investigated within the time available.
En proizvajalec izvoznik, ki je bil vzorčen, je zaprosil, da ga izključijo iz vzorca.
In addition, among the companies which made themselves known during the sampling exercise there are several selling into the Union using a related trader and were also exporting input material.
Prvič, družba je izvozila manjšo količino kot štiri druge vzorčene skupine.
Moreover, the Commission already considered sufficient the geographical spread reached with the proposed sample, covering three of the most important regions for the electric bicycles production, therefore the request was rejected.
Drugič, navedli so nižjo raven naložb z obrazložitvijo, da je znesek, ki ga je upoštevala Komisija, vključeval naložbe v druge izdelke.
One exporting producer, which was sampled, requested to be excluded from the sample.
Tretjič, prisotni so na geografskem območju, ki je že zajeto z drugimi družbami v vzorcu.
First, the company exported a lower volume than the other four sampled groups.
Komisija je svojo izbiro oblikovala ne le na podlagi obsegov izvoza v Evropsko unijo, temveč tudi z upoštevanjem indicev domnevnega subvencioniranja glede na dostopne informacije o zadnjih razpoložljivih letnih računovodskih izkazih sodelujočih družb in geografsko razširjenost v obdobju preiskave.
Second, they restated downwards their level of investments, clarifying that the amount considered by the Commission was inclusive of investments in other products.
Ob upoštevanju vseh teh dejavnikov skupaj se je štelo, da zadevnega proizvajalca izvoznika že predstavlja izbrani vzorec.
Third, they are present in a geographical area which is already covered by other companies in the sample.
Komisija se je zato odločila, da predlagani vzorec ohrani kot končni vzorec.
The Commission based its selection not only on the export volumes to the European Union, also taking into consideration indicia of the alleged subsidisation, according to the information available on the cooperating companies' last available Annual Accounts and the geographical spread, during the investigation period.
Individualna preiskava
The exporting producer in question, considering all these factors together, was considered to be already represented by the selected sample.
Dva nevzorčena proizvajalca izvoznika sta z izpolnitvijo protisubvencijskega vprašalnika, namenjenega proizvajalcem izvoznikom, uradno zahtevala individualno preiskavo na podlagi člena 27(3) osnovne uredbe.
The Commission therefore decided to retain the proposed sample as the final sample.
Eden od njiju je skupina dveh povezanih družb, drugi proizvajalec pa nima povezanih družb, vključenih v zadevni izdelek.
Individual examination
Kljub temu bi bila preiskava takega dodatnega števila zahtevkov poleg petih skupin vzorčenih družb prevelika obremenitev in je ni mogoče razumno opraviti v času, ki je za to preiskavo na voljo.
Two non-sampled exporting producers formally requested individual examination under Article 27(3) of the basic Regulation by providing a reply to the anti-subsidy questionnaire intended for exporting producers.
Komisija je nadalje navedla, da se ta preiskava opravlja hkrati s protidampinško preiskavo istega zadevnega izdelka in se tudi prekriva z drugimi preiskavami, ki jih Komisija sočasno izvaja.
One of them is a group of two related companies, whereas the other producer does not have related companies involved in the product concerned.
Zato se je odločila, da ne ugodi nobenemu zahtevku za individualno preiskavo, in o tem obvestila zadevni družbi.
However, the examination of such an additional number of requests, beside the five groups of companies sampled, would be unduly burdensome and cannot be reasonably carried out during the time available for this investigation.
En proizvajalec izvoznik, Wettsen Corporation, je znova poudaril, da bi bilo treba njegov položaj preiskati individualno ter da bi bilo mogoče zanj izračunati individualni znesek subvencije in stopnjo škode.
The Commission further noted that this investigation is conducted in parallel to the anti-dumping investigation on the same product concerned, and also overlaps with other investigations carried out by the Commission at the same time.
Ta družba je trdila, da ne bi bilo pošteno niti razumno, če bi subvencija in stopnja škode, ki bi se uporabili zanjo, temeljili na podatkih iz vzorčenih družb.
The Commission therefore decided not to grant any requests for individual examination and informed accordingly the companies concerned.
Komisija je te pripombe zavrnila, saj je menila, da je izbrani vzorec že reprezentativen, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 35, saj je sestavljen iz petih skupin proizvajalcev, v katerih je 11 različnih pravnih oseb.
One exporting producer, Wettsen Corporation, reiterated that its situation should had been examined individually and an individual subsidy amount and injury margin could have been calculated for it.
Zato je vzorec skladen s členom 27(1)(b) osnovne uredbe, Komisija pa je potrdila, da v času, ki je bil na voljo za preiskavo, ne bi mogla opraviti analize za dodatno družbo.
This company claimed that it would be unfair and unreasonable that the subsidy and injury margin applied to it would be based on data from the sampled companies.
Komisija je opozorila, da lahko tak sodelujoči proizvajalec izvoznik vsekakor zahteva pospešen pregled v skladu s členom 20 osnovne uredbe.
The Commission rejected these comments as it considered that the selected sample is already representative as shown in recital (35) as it is composed of five groups of producers, consisting of 11 different legal entities.
Izpolnjeni vprašalniki in preveritveni obiski
Consequently, the sample is compliant with Article 27(1)(b) of the basic Regulation, the Commission confirmed that in the time available for the investigation, it could not have conducted the analysis for an additional company.
Kitajski vladi je bil poslan vprašalnik.
The Commission noted that, in any event, such cooperating exporting producer may request an accelerated review pursuant to Article 20 of the basic Regulation.
Vključeval je posebne vprašalnike za Kitajsko razvojno banko (v nadaljnjem besedilu: banka CDB), Kitajsko izvozno-uvozno banko (v nadaljnjem besedilu: banka EXIM), Banko Kitajske (v nadaljnjem besedilu: banka BOC), Kitajsko kmetijsko banko (v nadaljnjem besedilu: banka ABC), Konstrukcijsko banko Kitajske (v nadaljnjem besedilu: banka CCB), Industrijsko in poslovno banko Kitajske (v nadaljnjem besedilu: banka ICBC) ter družbo China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (v nadaljnjem besedilu: družba Sinosure).
Questionnaire replies and verification visits
Zadevne banke in institucije so bile v pritožbi izrecno navedene (med drugim na podlagi ugotovitev Komisije v prejšnjih preiskavah) kot javni organi ali organi, ki jim je bilo ukazano in zaupano dodeljevanje subvencij spodbujanim industrijam, vključno s proizvajalci električnih koles.
A questionnaire was sent to the GOC.
Poleg tega je bila kitajska vlada zaprošena, naj posebni vprašalnik za finančne institucije pošlje vsem drugim finančnim institucijam, ki so vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom ali kupcem vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov zagotavljale posojila ali izvozne kredite (v smislu izvoznih kreditov za kupce), kakor so navedli sami vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki.
It included specific questionnaires for the China Development Bank (‘CDB’), China Export Import Bank (‘EXIM Bank’), Bank of China (‘BOC’), Agricultural Bank of China (‘ABC’), China Construction Bank (‘CCB’), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (‘ICBC’) and China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation (‘Sinosure’).
Komisija je proizvajalce izvoznike zaprosila, naj kitajski vladi predložijo ustrezen seznam finančnih institucij za stik.
Those banks and Institutions had been specifically referred to in the complaint (on the basis of, inter alia, findings made by the Commission in previous investigations) as public bodies or bodies directed and entrusted granting subsidies to encouraged industries, including electrical bikes producers.
Kitajska vlada je bila zaprošena tudi, naj zbere vse odgovore teh finančnih institucij in jih pošlje neposredno Komisiji.
In addition, the GOC was asked to forward the specific questionnaire for financial institutions to any other financial institution that provided loans or export credits to the sampled exporting producers, or to the buyers of the sampled exporting producers (in the context of export buyer credits) as identified by the sampled exporting producers themselves.
Vprašalnik za kitajsko vlado je dalje vključeval posebne vprašalnike za tiste proizvajalce vhodnih materialov (tj. baterij, motorjev in drugih delov koles, ki so že ali pa še niso sestavljeni), ki so delno/v celoti v državni lasti (v nadaljnjem besedilu: podjetja v državni lasti) ali zasebne družbe, ki delujejo po navodilih vlade.
The Commission requested the exporting producers to provide the GOC with the relevant list of financial institutions to be contacted.
V zvezi s tem je bila kitajska vlada zaprošena tudi, naj posebni vprašalnik za proizvajalce vhodnih materialov pošlje vsem drugim proizvajalcem, ki so vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom zagotovili vhodni material, kakor so navedli sami vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki.
The GOC was also asked to gather any responses provided by these financial institutions and to send them directly to the Commission.
Komisija je proizvajalce izvoznike zaprosila, naj kitajski vladi predložijo ustrezen seznam subjektov za stik.
Furthermore, the questionnaire for the GOC included specific questionnaires for those producers of input materials (i.e. batteries, engines and other bicycles parts whether already assembled or not) which are partially/fully State-owned (‘SOEs’) or private companies operating under government direction.
Kitajska vlada je bila zaprošena tudi, naj zbere vse odgovore teh družb in jih pošlje neposredno Komisiji.
In this regard, the GOC was also asked to forward this specific questionnaire for producers of input material to any other producer that provided input material to the sampled exporting producers as identified by the sampled exporting producers themselves.
En dobavitelj vhodnega materiala, Bafang Electric (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. (v nadaljnjem besedilu: družba Bafang), se je javil na lastno pobudo in zaprosil za vprašalnik za proizvajalce vhodnega materiala.
The Commission requested the exporting producers to provide the GOC with the relevant list of entities to be contacted.
Ta družba je vhodni material zagotovila trem od petih vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
The GOC was also asked to gather any responses provided by these companies and to send them directly to the Commission.
Komisija je zato družbi Bafang poslala posebni vprašalnik za proizvajalce vhodnih materialov.
One supplier of input material, Bafang Electric (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.
Vprašalniki so bili poslani tudi petim vzorčenim skupinam proizvajalcev izvoznikov, vzorčenim proizvajalcem Unije in nepovezanim uvoznikom.
(‘Bafang’) came forward on its own initiative and asked to be provided a questionnaire for producers of input material.
Komisija je prejela izpolnjene vprašalnike od kitajske vlade.
This company provided input material to three of the five sampled exporting producers.
Vključevali so izpolnjene posebne vprašalnike banke EXIM, banke ABC, banke BOC, banke ICBC in družbe Sinosure.
