Therefore, the alleged likelihood of a shortage of some product categories is unjustified, also considering the adjustments and considerations laid down in the Union interest analysis.
Zato je domnevna verjetnost pomanjkanja nekaterih kategorij izdelkov neutemeljena, tudi ob upoštevanju prilagoditev in premislekov iz analize interesa Unije.
The Commission therefore concluded that the request to exclude certain product categories should be rejected.
Komisija je zato sklenila, da je treba zahtevo za izključitev nekaterih kategorij izdelkov zavrniti.
In the absence of further comments regarding the product concerned and the like or directly competing product, the conclusions reached in recitals (11) to (17) of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Drugih pripomb v zvezi z zadevnim izdelkom ter podobnim ali neposredno konkurenčnim izdelkom ni bilo, zato se ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav 11 do 17 začasne uredbe potrdijo.
This global analysis already excluded product categories that did not show an import increase at individual level.
Komisija je prav tako popravila nekatere manjše administrativne napake v podatkih iz začasne faze.
The Commission used in its analysis the most recent statistics, namely import data covering the first half of 2018.
Medtem ko je bilo v začasni fazi ugotovljeno, da se uvoz ni povečal pri petih kategorijah izdelkov, je pregled najnovejših podatkov o uvozu pokazal, da se uvoz ni povečal samo pri dveh od 28 kategorij izdelkov, tj. pri kategoriji izdelkov 11 in kategoriji izdelkov 23.
For ensuring data comparability with previous full-year periods, the Commission established an additional ad-hoc 12-month period made of the last 6 months of 2017 and the first 6 months of 2018 (‘the most recent period’ or ‘MRP’).
Komisija se je zato odločila, da ti kategoriji izdelkov izključi iz svoje končne analize.
The Commission also corrected some minor clerical errors in the data used at provisional stage.
Posamezni razvoj uvoza za vsako kategorijo izdelkov je vključen v Prilogo II.
Furthermore, in its assessment of imports evolution, the Commission has not taken into account the import volumes from a series of countries that should be excluded from the scope of the definitive measures, in particular: the European Economic Area (EEA) countries and certain countries with which the Union has signed an Economic Partnership Agreement that is currently in force, and which specifically foresee an exclusion from the scope of multilateral safeguard.
Kar zadeva analizo uvoza na svetovni ravni, je uvoz preostalih 26 kategorij izdelkov, ki se ocenjuje, naslednji:
While, at provisional stage, imports were found not to increase for 5 product categories, the examination of the most recent import data shows that only 2 out of the 28 product categories did not experience an increase in imports, namely product category 11 and product category 23.
Preglednica 2
The Commission therefore decided to exclude these two product categories from the scope of its final analysis.
Obseg uvoza (po izključitvi nekaterih držav in izdelkov) in tržni delež
The individual development of imports for each product category is included in Annex II
Vir: Eurostat in izpolnjeni vprašalniki industrije Unije.
As to the global imports' analysis, the imports of the 26 remaining product categories under assessment show the following developments:

Zgoraj navedeni trend potrjuje tudi velika večina izpolnjenih vprašalnikov, prejetih od proizvajalcev v glavnih državah izvoznicah.

Da bi dopolnila analizo uvoza na svetovni ravni, je Komisija pregledala razvoj uvoza za vsako od treh zgoraj navedenih družin izdelkov: ploščate izdelke, podolgovate izdelke in cevi.
Imports increased in absolute terms by 71 % during the period of analysis, and in relative terms with market shares increasing from 12,7 % to 18,8 %.
Preglednica 3
The most significant increase took place in the period 2013-2016.
Obseg uvoza (po izključitvi nekaterih držav in izdelkov) in tržni delež – glede na družino izdelkov
Subsequently, imports continued to increase at a slower pace before picking up again in the MRP, when the US Section 232 measures entered into force.
Ploščati izdelki
The above-mentioned trend is also confirmed by the vast majority of the questionnaire replies received from producers based in the main exporting countries.
14,0 % Cevi Uvoz (v 1000 ton)
In order to supplement the global import analysis, the Commission conducted an examination of the import evolution for each of the three product families identified above: flat products, long products and tubes.
Podolgovati izdelki
On this basis, the import volumes and corresponding market shares developed as follows:
Tržni delež
Table 3
Statistični podatki kažejo, da se je uvoz vseh treh družin izdelkov (ploščati izdelki, podolgovati izdelki in cevi) od leta 2013 do zadnjega obdobja v absolutnem smislu povečal za 64 %, 97 % oziroma 60 %.
Import volume (after exclusion of certain countries and products) and market share – by product family
V istem obdobju se je v relativnem smislu povečal tudi uvoz, pri čemer so se tržni deleži povečali s 14,2 % na 20,9 %, z 8,6 % na 14,0 % oziroma z 20,4 % na 25,7 %.
Flat products
Uvoz cevi se je v obdobju 2013–2016 postopoma povečeval, preden se je od leta 2016 do zadnjega obdobja tako v absolutnem kot relativnem smislu strmo povečal.
imports (000 tonnes)
Kar zadeva pripombe, ki jih je prejela Komisija, je ena zainteresirana stran trdila, da sta bili dve kategoriji izdelka od petih izključeni iz področja uporabe začasnih ukrepov, tj. kategoriji izdelkov 10 in 19 bi morali biti zajeti v dokončnih ukrepih, saj najnovejši statistični podatki kažejo povečanje uvoza.
Long products
Druga zainteresirana stran je podobno trdila v zvezi s kategorijo izdelkov 24.
The statistics show that all three product families (flat products, long products and tubes) increased in absolute terms by respectively 64 %, 97 % and 60 % during 2013-MRP.
Poleg tega se je od leta 2017 do zadnjega obdobja povečal tudi obseg uvoza za te tri kategorije izdelkov.
In the same period, imports also increased in relative terms with market shares increasing respectively from 14,2 % to 20,9 %; 8,6 % to 14,0 % and 20,4 % to 25,7 %.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 34, ti izdelki spadajo v družino izdelkov, katere uvoz se je od leta 2013 do zadnjega obdobja prav tako povečal.
The most significant increase for the flat products, both in absolute and relative terms, took place in the period 2013-2016.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da nenadnega, močnega, znatnega in nedavnega povečanja uvoza ni bilo ter se sklicevalo na poročilo pritožbenega organa Argentina – Obutev in druge primere STO, kot so ZDA – Pšenični gluten, Ukrajina – Osebni avtomobili, ZDA – Zaščitni ukrepi na področju jekla.
Imports thereafter remained relatively stable but at a much higher level than in the period 2013-2015.
Skratka, ta sodna praksa določa, da ni dovolj, da preiskava kaže, da se je uvoz v petih letih povečal.
For long products, the most significant increase both in absolute and relative terms, took place in the period 2013-2016 before picking up steeply in the MRP.
Povečanje mora biti dovolj nedavno, nenadno in znatno, tako v smislu količine kot tudi kakovosti, da povzroči ali bi lahko povzročilo resno škodo.
As for tubes, imports increased progressively over the period 2013-2016, before steeply increasing, both in absolute and relative terms, in the period 2016-MRP.
Ta sodna praksa je tudi pojasnila pomen izraza „močen“ („ki pomeni nenadno spremembo smeri; nepričakovan, strm“) in „nenaden“ („ki se pojavi ali nastane brez opozorila; nepričakovan“, ali „strm, oster“).
As regards the comments received by the Commission, one interested party claimed that two product categories out of the five that had been excluded from the scope of the provisional measures, namely product category 10 and 19, should be covered by the definitive measures as recent statistics show an increase in imports.
Druge strani so trdile tudi, da je bilo povečanje uvoza stabilno ali da se je uvoz povečeval do leta 2015, od takrat pa ni več kazal močnega, nenadnega ali znatnega povečanja.
Another party made a similar claim as regards product category 24.
V zvezi s tem je treba najprej opozoriti, da je Komisija opravila temeljito analizo obsega uvoza za 28 kategorij izdelkov v obdobju 2013–2017 (ob upoštevanju trendov uvoza v obdobju preiskave in ne le primerjave končnih točk) in da je analizirala tudi razvoj uvoza v zadnjem obdobju.
These claims have been accepted since, as previously explained, import statistics pertaining to product categories 10, 19 and 24 actually showed an overall increase in imports over the period 2013-MRP.
Na podlagi tega je vnaprej izključila nekatere kategorije izdelkov, ki od leta 2013 do zadnjega obdobja niso kazale povečanja.
Moreover, import volumes for these three product categories also increased over the period 2017-MRP.
Poleg tega je Komisija, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 33, 35 in 36, ugotovila, da se je uvoz v absolutnem smislu na svetovni ravni povečal za 71 % in za 60 % do 97 %, kadar je bil združen v družine izdelkov od leta 2013 do zadnjega obdobja.
Furthermore, as developed in recital (34), these products belong to product families that also show an increase over the period 2013-MRP.
Poleg tega statistični podatki Eurostata kažejo, da se je uvoz med letoma 2013 in 2015 povečal za 45 % in da se je močno povečeval do zadnjega obdobja, ko je, na splošno gledano, dosegel 71 %.
Several interested parties claimed that there was no sudden, sharp, significant and recent increase of imports and referred to the Appellate Body report Argentina – Footwear and other WTO cases such as US – Wheat Gluten, Ukraine – Passenger Cars, US – Steel Safeguards.
Podoben trend je opaziti tudi glede relativnega povečanja uvoza.
In summary, this case-law provides that it is not enough for an investigation to show simply that imports have increased over a five-year period.
Na podlagi tega se potrdi, da je bilo povečanje uvoza močno in nenadno, kakor je bilo pojasnjeno v sodni praksi.
The increase must be sufficiently recent, sudden and significant both quantitatively and qualitatively, to cause or threaten to cause serious injury.
Ob upoštevanju obsega povečanja se potrdi tudi, da je bilo povečanje znatno.
This case law also clarified the meaning of sharp (‘involving sudden change of direction; abrupt, steep’) and sudden (‘happening or coming without warning; unexpected’, or ‘abrupt, sharp’).
Glede izraza „nedavno“ Komisija ugotavlja, da ni posebne sodne prakse glede tega, kako bi ga bilo treba razlagati.
Other parties also claimed that the increase in imports was steady or that the imports increased up to 2015 without showing a sharp sudden or significant increase ever since.
Pritožbeni organ je zgolj razlagal zahtevo, da članica lahko uporablja zaščitni ukrep le, če se izdelek „uvaža“ v povečanih količinah, kar pomeni, da mora biti povečanje uvoza dovolj „nedavno“, da povzroči ali bi lahko povzročilo resno škodo.
In this regard, it is first recalled that the Commission conducted a thorough analysis of the import volumes of the 28 product categories over the period 2013-2017 (considering the trends in imports over the period of investigation, rather than just comparing the end points) and that it also analysed the development of imports in the MRP.
Komisija je potrdila, da je bilo povečanje uvoza ob upoštevanju razvoja od leta 2013 do zadnjega obdobja in celo od leta 2015 do zadnjega obdobja dovolj nedavno, da je povzročilo ali bi lahko povzročilo resno škodo.
On this basis, it has excluded upfront certain product categories that did not show an increase over the period 2013-MRP.
V skladu s tem je Komisija zavrnila zgoraj navedene trditve o pomanjkanju kvalificiranega povečanja uvoza.
Furthermore, as explained in recitals (33), (35) and (36), the Commission concluded that imports had increased in absolute terms by 71 % globally and between 60 % and 97 % when grouped into product families over the period 2013-MRP.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da je končna analiza Komisije na skupni ravni nezadostna in da bi Komisija morala analizirati tudi vmesne trende v obdobju 2013–2017 v skladu s sodno prakso STO, kot sta npr. ZDA – Zaščitni ukrepi za jeklo in Ukrajina – Osebni avtomobili.
Additionally, Eurostat statistics also show that imports increased by 45 % between 2013 and 2015 and that this sharp increase continued until the MRP to reach 71 % overall.
Na podlagi te sodne prakse analiza ne more temeljiti na primerjavi končnih točk analiziranega obdobja, saj bi to lahko spremenilo rezultate v primerih, ko ni jasnega in neprekinjenega naraščanja obsega uvoza.
A similar trend is also observed as far as the relative increase in imports is concerned.
Sodna praksa prav tako določa, da preiskovalni organ utemelji in ustrezno obrazloži razvoj uvoza med končnimi točkami.
On this basis, it is confirmed that the increase in imports was sharp and sudden as clarified by the case-law.
Komisija meni, da ni opravila le analize od ene do druge končne točke, saj je, kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 33 do 36, analizirala tudi vmesne trende ter opravila ustrezno in obrazloženo analizo trendov uvoza.
Considering the extent of the increase, it is also confirmed that the increase was significant.
Zadevne trditve so bile zato zavrnjene.
As far as the recentness is concerned, the Commission notes that there is no specific jurisprudence as to how the term ‘recent’ should be interpreted.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so navedle, da je bila analiza razvoja uvoza v obdobju 2013–2017 zavajajoča, saj je bila raven uvoza leta 2013 zaradi svetovne gospodarske krize neobičajno nizka, povečanje v naslednjem obdobju pa je pomenilo le obnovitev normalnega stanja.
The Appellate Body has merely interpreted the requirement that a Member may apply a safeguard only if a product ‘is being imported’ in increased quantities to mean that the increase in imports must be ‘recent’ enough to cause or threaten to cause serious injury.
V zvezi s tem je Komisija menila, da dejstvo, da je bilo leto 2013 izhodišče za analizo, ni vplivalo na analizo.
The Commission confirmed that increase in imports, in view of the developments in the period 2013-MRP and even 2015-MRP, was recent enough to cause or threaten to cause serious injury.
Medtem ko se je poraba jekla v EU v obdobju 2013–2017 dejansko povečala za 14 % (glej preglednico 4 spodaj), je bilo tako povečanje v celotnem obdobju doseženo postopno.
Accordingly, the Commission rejected the above-mentioned claims on lack of qualifying import increase.
Nasprotno se je veliko bolj kot povpraševanje v EU povečal uvoz, in sicer za 64 % v istem obdobju in veliko hitreje kot potrošnja EU.
Several interested parties claimed that the Commission end-point to end-point analysis at an aggregate level was insufficient and that the Commission should also have analysed intervening trends over the period 2013-2017, in line with WTO case law such as US – Steel safeguards and Ukraine – Passenger Cars.
Posledično se je tržni delež uvoza v obdobju 2013–2017 povečal za 5,4 % (z 12,7 % na 18,1 %).
According to such case law, the analysis cannot rely on a comparison of the end-points of the period of analysis as it could lead to manipulated results in cases where there is no clear and uninterrupted upward trend in import volumes.
Na podlagi tega je bila ta trditev zavrnjena.
The case law also foresees that the investigating authority shall set out a reasoned and adequate explanation concerning the development of imports between the end-points.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da bi bilo treba uvoz industrije Unije izključiti iz analize obsega uvoza.
The Commission considers that it has not just made an end-point to end-point analysis since, as substantiated above in recital (33) to (36), the Commission has also analysed intervening trends and made an adequate and reasoned analysis of import trends.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da za tako izključitev ne obstaja nobena pravna zahteva.
The relevant claims have therefore been rejected.
V vsakem primeru je na podlagi izpolnjenih vprašalnikov, prejetih od proizvajalcev Unije, tak uvoz v obdobju 2013–2017 ostal stabilen in je zajemal le majhen delež celotnega uvoza (od 0,3 % do 0,7 % celotnega uvoza).
Certain interested parties indicated that analysing the evolution of imports over the period 2013 – 2017 was misleading since the level of imports in 2013 was abnormally low as a result of the global economic crisis, and the increase in the subsequent period was merely a recovery of a normal situation.
Navedena trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
In this regard, the Commission considered that taking 2013 as the starting point for the analysis did not taint that analysis.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da bi bilo treba uvoz prek postopka aktivnega oplemenitenja izključiti iz analize obsega uvoza na splošno, zlasti za kategorijo izdelkov 25.
While EU steel consumption indeed increased by 14 % over the period 2013-2017 (see Table 4 below), such an increase was achieved in a progressive manner throughout the period.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da se opazovani trend obsega uvoza za vse kategorije izdelkov razen kategorije 25 ne spremeni, če je aktivno oplemenitenje izključeno iz analize.
In contrast imports increased much more than the EU demand, namely by 64 % over the same period and at a much faster rate than EU consumption.
V posebnem primeru kategorije izdelkov 25 je bila opustitev prodaje proizvajalca Unije v korist proizvajalca izvoznika na trgu tretje države.
Consequently, market share of imports increased by 5,4 % points (from 12,7 % to 18,1 %) over the period 2013-2017.
Zato se je zdelo primerno, da se te količine vključijo v oceno povečanja uvoza, da bi se upošteval celoten vpliv uvoza iz tretjih držav.
On this basis, this claim was rejected.
Na podlagi tega je bila ta trditev zavrnjena.
Several interested parties claimed that imports by the Union industry should have been excluded from the analysis of import volumes.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da se je obseg uvoza in ustrezen tržni delež za kategorije izdelkov 1, 6, 7, 17 in 28 v obdobju 2016–2017 zmanjšal.
In this regard, it should be noted that there is no legal requirement to make such an exclusion.
V zvezi s tem Komisija ugotavlja, da je v svoji končni določitvi prav tako upoštevala razvoj uvoza v zadnjem obdobju in da se je na podlagi tega uvoz povečal za vse te kategorije razen kategorije 7.
In any event, based on the questionnaire replies received from the Union producers, such imports remained stable over the period 2013-2017 and only accounted for a marginal portion of the total import (ranging from 0,3 % to 0,7 % of the total imports).
Ta trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
The above claim was therefore rejected.
V skladu s tem Komisija ugotavlja, da je prišlo do nenadnega, strmega in znatnega povečanja uvoza tako v absolutnem kot v relativnem smislu za zadevni izdelek, ki se ocenjuje.
One interested party claimed that imports through inward processing should have been excluded from the analysis of the import volumes in general and for product category 25 in particular.
To ugotovitev potrjujejo tudi podatki na ravni vsake od treh družin izdelkov, ki se ocenjujejo.
In this regard, it should be noted that for all product categories other than product category 25, the import volume trend observed does not change if inward processing is excluded from the analysis.
NEPREDVIDENI RAZVOJ OKOLIŠČIN
As a consequence, it was considered appropriate to include such volumes in the assessment of the increase in imports in order to reflect the full impact of third country imports.
Ti dejavniki so zajemali do zdaj največjo presežno zmogljivost v jeklarstvu, ki še vedno obstaja kljub velikemu številu ukrepov, sprejetih po vsem svetu za njeno zmanjšanje, in ki jo krepijo izkrivljajoče subvencije in ukrepi državne podpore, kar je privedlo do nižanja cen, povečane uporabe omejevalnih trgovinskih praks, instrumentov trgovinske zaščite in ukrepov iz oddelka 232 zakona ZDA, sprejetih marca 2018.
On this basis, this claim has been rejected.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da bi bilo treba za vsako kategorijo izdelkov dokazati nepredviden razvoj dogodkov.
Certain interested parties claimed that the import volume and corresponding market share for product categories 1, 6, 7, 17 and 28 decreased over the period 2016-2017.
Komisija se s temi stališči ne strinja in meni, da glede na visoko stopnjo medsebojnih povezav in medsebojne povezanosti kategorij izdelkov, kot je pojasnjeno v oddelku 2.1, zadostuje, da se dokaže obstoj nepredvidenih dogodkov na svetovni ravni.
In this regard, the Commission notes that in its final determination it has also considered the development of imports during the most recent period and, on this basis, imports did increase for all these categories with the exception of category 7.
Kar zadeva presežno zmogljivost, je več zainteresiranih strani trdilo, da je Komisiji znana in da je ni mogoče šteti za nepredviden razvoj.
However, even for this latter category, imports during the MRP were significantly higher than in 2013-2014.
Trdili so tudi, da je Komisija škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, predhodno povezala z dampinškim ali subvencioniranim uvozom ter da povezava med povečanjem uvoza in nepredvidenim razvojem presežne zmogljivosti v jeklarstvu ni bila ugotovljena.
In addition, the Commission carried out a global analysis for all steel products and individually for each of the three product families identified, and concluded that imports increased overall during the whole analysed period.
Vendar se je skupna proizvodna zmogljivost za surovo jeklo po letu 2011 še naprej nepričakovano povečevala, s čimer se je ustvarila dodatna presežna zmogljivost, kot je Komisija potrdila svojem sporočilu „Jeklarska industrija: ohranjanje trajnostnih delovnih mest in rasti v Evropi“.
This claim was therefore rejected.
Glede na časovni razpored zgoraj opisanih dogodkov in zlasti dejstvo, da se je presežna proizvodna zmogljivost povečala v času, ko je bilo v gospodarstvu pričakovati, da se bo znižala, je bilo ugotovljeno, da je treba presežno zmogljivost v jeklarstvu obravnavati kot nepredviden razvoj.
Accordingly, the Commission concludes that there has been a sudden, steep, and significant increase of imports both in absolute and relative terms for the product concerned under assessment.
Kar zadeva vzročnost, ugotovljeno v prejšnjih preiskavah, ki se nanašajo na nepoštene trgovinske prakse, je naveden sklic na zgoraj navedeno sporočilo, ki določa, da se take preiskave priznajo kot „ukrepi za ublažitev učinkov presežne zmogljivosti“.
This finding is also confirmed by the data at the level of each of the three product families assessed.
Na tej podlagi je jasno, da je presežna zmogljivost tesno povezana z dampinškim in subvencioniranim uvozom.
UNFORESEEN DEVELOPMENTS
Vendar pa se v protidampinški in protisubvencijski preiskavi presežna zmogljivost v jeklarstvu ne obravnava kot nepredviden razvoj, saj ta zahteva ni prisotna v oceni, ki je podlaga za uvedbo teh instrumentov trgovinskih sredstev.
These factors consisted of an unprecedented steelmaking overcapacity that persists despite the important number of measures adopted worldwide to reduce it, accentuated by distortive subsidies and government support measures, which led to price depression, the increased use of trade restrictive practices, trade defence instruments and the US Section 232 measures adopted in March 2018.
Kadar po oskrbi domačega trga še obstaja prosta zmogljivost, si bodo prizadevali za druge poslovne priložnosti na izvoznih trgih in tako ustvarili povečanje obsega uvoza na takih trgih.
Several interested parties claimed that unforeseen developments should be demonstrated for each product category.
Na podlagi tega je treba zgoraj navedeno trditev zavrniti.
