In the absence of any other comments with respect to the imports from the PRC and further to the revision of the undercutting calculations set out in recital (99), the Commission confirmed all other conclusions set out in recitals (136) to (157) of the provisional Regulation.
Splošne opombe
Economic situation of the Union industry
Po objavi začasne uredbe je en uvoznik trdil, da bi Komisija morala razložiti, kako je pridobila in ocenila kazalnike uspešnosti, saj se tisti, ki so navedeni v začasni uredbi, ne ujemajo s podatki, ki so jih navedli vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije.
General remarks
Zlasti je poudaril, da noben vzorčen proizvajalec Unije ni poročal o zmanjšanju proizvodnje in prodaje.
Following the publication of the provisional Regulation, one importer claimed that the Commission should explain how it obtained and estimated the performance indicators since those provided in the provisional Regulation did not align with the figures provided by the sampled Union producers.
Komisija napotuje na uvodno izjavo 162 začasne uredbe, v kateri je razložila, da makrokazalniki niso temeljili le na informacijah, pridobljenih od vzorčenih proizvajalcih Unije, temveč tudi na tržnih informacijah, ki jih je predložila Konfederacija evropskih industrij koles (v nadaljnjem besedilu: konfederacija CONEBI), in statističnih podatkih o uvozu.
In particular, it pointed out that none of the sampled Union producers had reported a decline in production and sales.
Kakor je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 163 začasne uredbe, je Komisija za potrošnjo uporabila podatek, ki ga je predložila konfederacija CONEBI, Komisija pa ga je preverila.
The Commission refers to recital (162) of the provisional Regulation where it explained that macro-indicators were not only based on information gathered from the sampled Union producers but also from the market information submitted by the Confederation of the European Bicycle Industries (‘CONEBI’) and import statistics.
Obseg prodaje industrije Unije je bil pridobljen z odštetjem uvoza od celotne potrošnje.
As explained in recital (163) of the provisional Regulation, the Commission used for consumption the figure submitted by CONEBI and verified by the Commission.
Proizvodnja je bila ocenjena na podlagi ustreznih razmerij prodaje in proizvodnje, preverjenih pri vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
The Union industry's sales volume was obtained by deducing imports from the total consumption figure.
Kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 164 začasne uredbe, je Komisija uporabila metodologijo, ki je opisana v pritožbi in h kateri med to preiskavo niso bile podane pripombe.
The production was estimated on the basis of the relevant ratios of sales and production verified at the sampled Union producers.
Ker drugih pripomb ni bilo, je Komisija potrdila uvodne izjave 159 do 166 začasne uredbe.
As stated in recital (164) of the provisional Regulation, the Commission followed the methodology described in the complaint and which was not commented upon during this investigation.
Makroekonomski kazalniki
In the absence of other comments, the Commission confirmed recitals (159) to (166) of the provisional Regulation.
Proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Macroeconomic indicators
Po izključitvi nekaterih družb iz opredelitve industrije Unije, kakor je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 80 do 83, so bili popravljeni podatki za proizvodnjo, proizvodno zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti v Uniji, kakor je navedeno v preglednici 3.
Production, production capacity and capacity utilisation
Preglednica 3
Following the exclusion of certain companies from the definition of the Union industry as explained in recitals (80) to (83), the figures for production, production capacity and capacity utilisation in the Union were revised as indicated in Table 3.

Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Production capacity (pieces)
Obseg proizvodnje industrije Unije se je kljub 3-odstotnemu zmanjšanju med letom 2016 in obdobjem preiskave v obravnavanem obdobju tako povečal za 28 %.
Capacity utilisation
Proizvodna zmogljivost se je med letom 2014 in obdobjem preiskave povečala za 34 %.
The production volume of the Union industry thus increased by 28 % over the period considered despite a decrease of 3 % between 2016 and the investigation period.
Od leta 2014 do leta 2016 se je povečala za 50 %, nato pa se je med letom 2016 in obdobjem preiskave zmanjšala za 9 %.
The production capacity increased by 34 % between 2014 and the investigation period.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti se je s 75 % leta 2014 zmanjšala na 72 % v obdobju preiskave, pri čemer se je med letoma 2014 in 2016 zmanjšala s 75 na 66 %, nato pa se je med letom 2016 in obdobjem preiskave povečala s 66 na 72 %.
Production capacity increased by 50 % between 2014 and 2016 and then declined by 9 % between 2016 and the investigation period.
Po popravku družb, ki sestavljajo industrijo Unije, so trendi, opisani v začasni uredbi, pri proizvodnji, proizvodni zmogljivosti in izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti tako ostali enaki.
Capacity utilisation declined from 75 % in 2014 to 72 % during the investigation period, with a decrease from 75 % to 66 % between 2014 and 2016 and an increase from 66 % to 72 % between 2016 and the investigation period.
Zbornica CCCME in štirje proizvajalci izvozniki so trdili, da rast proizvodnje ni kazala na škodo.
The trends described in the provisional Regulation remained therefore the same for production, production capacity and capacity utilisation after the revision of the companies which constituted the Union Industry.
Navajajo, da je industrija Unije med letoma 2014 in 2016 ustvarila veliko presežno zmogljivost, nato pa je spoznala, da ta presežna zmogljivost vpliva na njeno dobičkonosnost, ter jo zmanjšala, zato da izboljša dobičkonosnost, ko je bila prodaja še naprej dobra.
They further submitted that Union producers had increased their capacity from 2014 and 2016.
Komisija je ugotovila, da v pritožbi ni bilo nikoli navedeno, da industrija Unije od leta 2014 do leta 2016 ni imela konkurence.
These interested parties claimed that it was only possible because the Union industry did not face competition until 2016 as would have been acknowledged in their complaint.
Kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 169 začasne uredbe, je na povečanje proizvodnje vplivalo povečanje potrošnje.
They submit that between 2014 and 2016, the Union industry built a large excess capacity until they realised that this surplus capacity was affecting their profitability and cut back on capacity to improve profitability when sales remained strong.
Vendar sta se po letu 2015 proizvodnja in potrošnja začeli močno razlikovati in bolj oddaljevati, kar je pripeljalo do pritiska na prodajo in stalne izgube tržnega deleža.
They noted however that capacity utilisation remained strong and that the decline observed in 2015-16 corresponded to a significant increase in capacity.
Ker se je do leta 2016 zmogljivost prav tako povečevala z enako hitrostjo kot potrošnja, je bilo zmanjšanje izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti povezano z enakim vzorcem.
The Commission noted that the complaint never stated that the Union Industry did not face competition between 2014 and 2016.
Poleg tega imajo kazalniki za zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, kakor je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 172 začasne uredbe, omejen pomen, kar zadeva dobičkonosnost.
As stated in recital (169) of the provisional Regulation, the increase in production was driven by the increase in consumption.
Združenje CEIEB je po razkritju trdilo, da med poslabšanjem zmogljivosti in izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti ter dampinškim uvozom iz LRK ni bilo zveze, ker je težko določiti, kateri del zmogljivosti je bil uporabljen za običajna kolesa, kateri pa za električna kolesa, in ker se je po podatkih, ki jih je objavila konfederacija CONEBI, proizvodnja običajnih koles leta 2016 zmanjšala za 3,7 %.
However, after 2015, production and consumption diverged markedly and increasingly, translating the pressure on sales and a continued loss of market share.
Komisija je spomnila, da sta bili zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti preverjeni v zvezi z izdelkom v preiskavi in da so bila običajna kolesa izključena.
Likewise, capacity increased at the same pace as consumption until 2016 and the deterioration of the capacity utilisation was therefore linked to the same pattern.
Trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
In addition, as explained in recital (172) of the provisional Regulation, the indicators for capacity and capacity utilisation are of limited relevance with regards profitability.
Ker drugih pripomb glede proizvodnje, proizvodne zmogljivosti in izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti ni bilo, je Komisija ob upoštevanju popravka uvodne izjave 106 potrdila sklepe iz uvodnih izjav 167 do 172 začasne uredbe.
Following disclosure, the CEIEB claimed that there was no link between the deterioration of the capacity and capacity utilisation and dumped imports from the PRC since it was difficult to determine which part of the capacity was used for conventional, which part for electric bikes, and since the production of conventional bicycles decreased by 3.7 % in 2016 according to figures published by CONEBI.
Obseg prodaje in tržni delež
The Commission recalled that the capacity and capacity utilisation were verified in relation with the product under investigation and excluded conventional bicycles.
Po izključitvi nekaterih družb iz opredelitve industrije Unije, kakor je opisano v uvodnih izjavah 80 do 83, so bili popravljeni podatki za obseg prodaje in tržni delež industrije Unije.
The claim was therefore rejected.
Preglednica 4
In the absence of any other comments with respect to production, production capacity and capacity utilisation and taking into account the correction made in recital (106), the Commission confirmed the conclusions set out in recitals (167) to (172) of the provisional Regulation.
Celotni obseg prodaje na trgu Unije (v kosih)
Following the exclusion of certain companies from the definition of the Union industry as outlined in recitals (80) to (83), the figures for sales volume and market share of the Union industry were revised.
Obseg prodaje industrije Unije se je tako v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 20 %.
Table 4
Med letoma 2014 in 2016 se je povečal za 25 %, nato pa se je med letom 2016 in obdobjem preiskave zmanjšal za 4 %.
Total Sales volume on the Union market (pieces)
Tržni delež industrije Unije se je bistveno zmanjšal, in sicer s 75 % leta 2014 na 51 % v obdobju preiskave.
Market share
Po popravku družb, ki sestavljajo industrijo Unije, so trendi, opisani v začasni uredbi, pri obsegu prodaje in tržnem deležu ostali enaki.
The Union industry's sales volume thus increased by 20 % during the period considered.
Zbornica CCCME je po dokončnem razkritju trdila, da je splošno povečanje prodaje za 20 % v obravnavanem obdobju treba šteti za zelo uspešno in da to ne more kazati na znatno škodo.
The Union industry's sales volume increased by 25 % between 2014 and 2016 and then declined by 4 % between 2016 and the investigation period.
Vendar je treba 20-odstotno povečanje prodaje industrije Unije obravnavati glede na 74-odstotno povečanje potrošnje Unije v istem obdobju, kakor je navedeno v preglednici 2 začasne uredbe.
The market share of the Union industry decreased significantly, going from 75 % in 2014 to 51 % during the investigation period.
Komisija ni ugotovila znakov, da bi bilo povečanje prodaje, ki je bilo toliko manjše od povečanja potrošnje, mogoče šteti za zelo uspešno in da pravzaprav ne kaže na znatno škodo.
The trends described in the provisional Regulation remained the same for sales volume and market share after the revision of the companies which constituted the Union Industry.
Zbornica CCCME je tudi trdila, da so po informacijah pritožnika proizvajalci Unije, ki so podprli pritožbo, v obravnavanem obdobju utrpeli le manjše zmanjšanje tržnega deleža za 2 odstotni točki.
Following final disclosure, the CCCME claimed that the overall increase in sales of 20 % of the period considered must be deemed a strong performance and cannot be indicative of material injury.
Navedeno majhno zmanjšanje naj bi domnevno potrjevalo, da pritožniki zaradi uvoza zadevnega izdelka niso utrpeli znatne škode.
However, the 20 % increase in sales of the Union industry has to be seen in the light of a 74 % increase in Union consumption during the same period, as stated in Table 2 of the provisional Regulation.
V skladu s členom 3(1) osnovne uredbe je izraz škoda opredeljen kot „znatna škoda za industrijo Unije“.
The Commission found no indication that an increase in sales which was that much lower than the increase in consumption could be considered a strong performance, and indeed not be indicative of material injury.
Komisija je tako dolžna oceniti škodo za industrijo Unije kot celoto, ne le za pritožnike.
The CCCME also claimed that, according to information in the complaint, the Union producers supporting the complaint only suffered a minor decrease in market share of 2 percentage points during the period considered.
Ugotovila je, da je industrija Unije utrpela znatno izgubo tržnega deleža v višini 24 odstotnih točk.
That small decrease would allegedly confirm that the complainants have not suffered material injury from imports of the product concerned.
Dejstvo, da so nekateri proizvajalci Unije izgubili manj (ali več) tržnega deleža kot drugi, ne nasprotuje navedeni ugotovitvi.
Pursuant to Article 3(1) of the basic Regulation the term injury is defined as ‘material injury to the Union industry’.
Ker drugih pripomb glede obsega prodaje in tržnega deleža ni bilo, Komisija po popravku uvodne izjave 113 potrjuje vse druge sklepe iz uvodnih izjav 173 do 176 začasne uredbe.
Thus, the Commission is required to assess injury to the Union industry as a whole, not only to the complainants.
Rast
The Commission found that the Union industry suffered a significant loss of market share of 24 percentage points.
Ker ni bilo pripomb, je Komisija potrdila svoje sklepe iz uvodne izjave 177 začasne uredbe.
The fact that some Union producers lost less (or more) market share than others does not question that finding.
Zaposlenost in produktivnost
In the absence of any other comments with respect to sales volume and market share and further to the correction made in recital (113), the Commission confirms all other conclusions set out in recitals (173) to (176) of the provisional Regulation.
Po izključitvi nekaterih družb iz opredelitve industrije Unije, kakor je opisano v uvodnih izjavah 80 do 83, so bili popravljeni podatki za zaposlenost in produktivnost industrije Unije.
Growth
Preglednica 5
In the absence of comments, the Commission confirmed its conclusions set out in recital (177) of the provisional Regulation.
Število zaposlenih
Following the exclusion of certain companies from the definition of the Union industry as outlined in recitals (80) to (83), the figures for employment and productivity of the Union industry were revised.
Industrija Unije je tako v obravnavanem obdobju stopnjo zaposlenosti povečala za 40 %.
Table 5
Ker se je zaposlenost povečevala hitreje od proizvodnje, se je produktivnost zmanjšala za 9 %.
Number of employees
Po popravku trendi, opisani v začasni uredbi, pri zaposlenosti in produktivnosti ostajajo enaki.
The Union industry thus increased the level of employment by 40 % over the period considered.
Višina stopnje dampinga in okrevanje od preteklega dampinga
Most of this increase occurred between 2014 and 2016.
Ker drugih pripomb glede višine stopnje dampinga in okrevanja od preteklega dampinga ni bilo, je Komisija potrdila sklepe iz uvodnih izjav 181 in 182 začasne uredbe.
Employment increased by 1 percentage point between 2016 and the investigation period.
Mikroekonomski kazalniki
Productivity declined by 9 % as a result of employment increasing at a higher pace than production.
Cene in dejavniki, ki vplivajo na cene
The trends described in the provisional Regulation remain the same for employment and productivity after the revision.
Po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov so združenje CEIEB, zbornica CCCME in štirje drugi proizvajalci izvozniki navedli, da 15-odstotno zvišanje povprečnih cen industrije Unije nasprotuje ugotovitvam Komisije, da je kitajski uvoz oviral dvig cen ali zmanjšal zmožnost industrije Unije, da zviša svoje cene.
In the absence of any other comments with respect to employment and productivity and further to the correction made in recital (121), the Commission confirmed all other conclusions set out in recitals (178) to (180) of the provisional Regulation.
Prvič, Komisija ugotavlja, da je bilo referenčno leto za merjenje tega povečanja leto 2014, ko je bila dobičkonosnost industrije Unije na zelo nizki ravni, njena stopnja dobička pa je bila najnižja v obravnavanem obdobju.
Magnitude of the dumping margin and recovery from past dumping
Drugič, v tem okviru je zvišanje povprečnih cen odražalo razvoj povprečnih stroškov proizvodnje in ga ni preseglo.
In the absence of any other comments with respect to the magnitude of the dumping and the recovery from past dumping, the Commission confirmed its conclusions set out in recital (181) and (182) of the provisional Regulation.
Tretjič, kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 185 začasne uredbe, tak razvoj ne pomeni nujno, da so se stroški in cena primerljivega izdelka zvišali enako kot povprečni stroški in cena, saj se asortiment izdelkov spremeni vsako sezono.
Microeconomic indicators
Ob upoštevanju teh elementov in ugotovitev glede nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen se Komisija ne strinja s trditvijo, da dvig povprečne cene izdelkov, ki jih je prodala industrija Unije, zanika obstoj oviranja dviga cen ali njihovega znižanja.
Following the imposition of provisional measures, the CEIEB, the CCCME and four other exporting producers submitted that the increase of 15 % in the average prices of the Union industry contradicted the Commission's findings that Chinese imports caused price suppression or depression to the Union industry's ability to increase its prices.
Po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov niso bile predložene nobene pripombe glede stroškov dela vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
First, the Commission observes that the reference year to measure this increase was 2014, when the Union industry recorded a very low level of profitability and its lowest profit margin over the period considered.
Zato je Komisija potrdila svoje sklepe iz uvodnih izjav 186 in 187 začasne uredbe.
Second, in this context, the increase in the average prices reflected the evolution of the average costs of production and did not go beyond it.
Zaloge
Third, as stated in recital (185) of the provisional Regulation, such evolution does not necessarily mean that the cost and price of a comparable product increased in the same way as the average cost and price since the product range changes every season.
Po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov je združenje CEIEB trdilo, da Komisija ni mogla hkrati opredeliti konca prodajne sezone sredi julija, ko je ocenjevala pogoje za registracijo, in ob koncu septembra, ko je v svoji analizi škode ocenjevala pomen zalog.
Considering these elements and the findings concerning undercutting, the Commission therefore disagrees with the claim that the increase in the average price of the products sold by the Union industry invalidates the existence of price suppression or depression.
Poleg tega je navedlo, da je bilo povečanje zaloge med letom 2016 in obdobjem preiskave zanemarljivo.
Labour costs
Komisija je menila, da prodajna sezona traja od marca do septembra.
Following the imposition of provisional measures, no comments with respect to labour costs of the sampled Union producers were submitted.
V uredbi o registraciji se ji je zdelo razumno domnevati, da bi nadaljnja znatna rast uvoza verjetno ogrozila popravljalni učinek dajatve, saj je bil rok za uvedbo začasnih ukrepov 20. julij.
Therefore, the Commission confirmed its conclusions set out in recital (186) and (187) of the provisional Regulation.
V takih okoliščinah bi povečanje zalog uvoznikom pravzaprav omogočilo dobavo zadevnega izdelka do konca prodajne sezone.
Inventories
Komisija je v začasni uredbi na podlagi enakih sezonskih vzorcev ugotovila, da dejstvo, da so bile zaloge septembra v obdobju preiskave večje kot decembra leto prej, odraža stalno in znatno povečevanje zalog, saj bi ravni zalog ob koncu prodajne sezone navadno morale biti nizke.
Following the imposition of provisional measures, the CEIEB claimed that the Commission could not, at the same time, define the end of the selling season in mid-July when assessing the conditions for registration and at the end of September when assessing the significance of inventories in its injury analysis.
Komisija je ocenila, da si ti analizi ne nasprotujeta, in potrdila ugotovitve, opisane v uvodnih izjavah 188 do 191 začasne uredbe.
It further submitted that the increase in inventory between 2016 and the investigation period was insignificant.
Dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, naložbe, donosnost naložb in zmožnost zbiranja kapitala
The Commission considered that the selling season lasted from March to September.
Po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov je združenje CEIEB navedlo, da se je stopnja dobička industrije Unije znižala le za 0,4 % med letom 2016 in OP, ko se je hitrost rasti kitajskega uvoza povečala, kar bi kazalo, da ni bilo škode.
In the registration Regulation, the Commission considered that it was reasonable to assume that a further substantial rise in imports was likely to undermine the remedial effect of the duty given that the deadline for imposing provisional measures was 20 July.
Podobno so zbornica CCCME in štirje proizvajalci izvozniki trdili, da raven stopnje dobička industrije Unije v OP in njen razvoj v obravnavanem obdobju nista značilna za stanje znatne škode.
Indeed, in this context, it meant that an increase in stocks levels would allow importers to supply the product concerned until the end of the selling season.
V preiskavi je bila poleg obstoja precejšnjega obsega uvoza po dampinških in nelojalno znižanih prodajnih cenah sicer ugotovljeno tudi močno povpraševanje na trgu električnih koles, kar je nekoliko omejilo negativne učinke na stopnjo dobička industrije Unije.
In the provisional Regulation, based on the same seasonal patterns, the Commission observed that the fact that stocks stood in September of the investigation period at a higher level than in December a year before reflected a continued and significant increase in stocks since stocks levels should normally be low at the end of the selling season.
Ta ugotovitev zajema obdobje med letom 2016 in OP, na katero je opozorilo združenje CEIEB, ko je strmo povečanje uvoza iz LRK sovpadalo z razmeroma majhnim zmanjšanjem prodaje industrije Unije zaradi nadaljevanja velike potrošnje.
The Commission assessed that there was no contradiction between those two analyses and confirmed the findings outlined in recitals (188) to (191) of the provisional Regulation.
Komisija je kljub temu ugotovila, da se je stopnja dobička industrije Unije v vseh letih, razen v enem, znižala in da je bila na splošno na nizkih ravneh.
Profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments and ability to raise capital
Poleg tega ugotovitev znatne škode ne temelji na enem kazalniku.
Following the imposition of provisional measures, the CEIEB submitted that the profit margin of the Union industry declined by only 0,4 % between 2016 and the IP when the pace of growth of Chinese imports accelerated which would show that there was no injury.
Drugi kazalniki, med katerimi so nekateri finančni, kot je denarni tok, so bili analizirani skupaj z razvojem stopnje dobička, kar je pripeljalo do sklepa o stanju znatne škode.
In the same vein, the CCCME and four exporting producers claimed that the level of the profit margin of the Union industry during the IP and its evolution over the period considered did not characterize a situation of material injury.
Trditev je bilo zato treba zavrniti.
