Those parties claimed that the raw materials for the production of new tyres differ significantly from those needed to manufacture retreaded tyres.
Poleg tega sta združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC trdila, da so protektirane in nove pnevmatike namenjene različni rabi, ker so varnostne lastnosti protektiranih pnevmatik precej slabše kot pri novih pnevmatikah, ter te pomisleke ponovila po končnem razkritju.
Retreadable or multi-life tyres should therefore be excluded from the definition of the product concerned
Kot dokaz sta predložila citat iz zakonodaje ZDA.
As mentioned in recital (72) of the provisional Regulation, the new and retreaded tyres have the same technical characteristics, components, and the structure of a new tyre.
Trdila sta še, da so tudi po mnenju institucij Unije protektirane pnevmatike na drugih področjih ločene od novih pnevmatik.
A new tyre provides the casing used by the retreading industry.
Dejansko se Uredba (ES) št. 1222/2009 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta .
The tread is similar to a new tyre.
Zato v nasprotju z navedbo iz uvodne izjave 75 začasne uredbe zanje ne veljala ista zakonodaja.
Therefore, the Commission rejected that claim.
Komisija je to trditev zavrnila.
Moreover, the CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that retreaded and new tyres do not have the same applications because the retreaded tyres' safety performance is significantly worse than that of new tyres and reiterated the same concerns following final disclosure.
Komisija je v uvodni izjavi 73 začasne uredbe obravnavala dojemanje pnevmatik z vidika varnostnih lastnostih in sklenila, da se povsem enake tehnične razlike ter razlike glede kakovosti in dojemanja varnosti pojavljajo tudi glede dveh novih pnevmatik iz različnih razredov.
They provided as evidence a quote from US law.
Poleg tega Sklep Sveta z dne 13. marca 2006 o spremembi sklepov 2001/507/ES in 2001/509/ES za razglasitev pravilnikov št. 109 in št. 108 Gospodarske komisije Združenih narodov za Evropo o obnovljenih gumah za obvezna določa, da se določbe pravilnikov Gospodarske komisije ZN za Evropo št. 108 in 109 uporabljajo kot obvezni pogoj za dajanje protektiranih pnevmatik na trg Unije, da se zagotovi, da protektirane pnevmatike izpolnjujejo podobne zahteve glede varnosti in preverjanja kakovosti kot nove pnevmatike.
Moreover, they claimed that the Union institutions also consider retreaded tyres to be separate from new tyres in other spheres.
Združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC sta po končnem razkritju trdila, da se postopek proizvodnje novih pnevmatik bistveno razlikuje od postopka za protektirane pnevmatike.
Indeed, Regulation (EC) No 1222/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council .
Komisija se strinja s tema stranema, da se proizvodni postopek razlikuje, vendar je uporaba novih in protektiranih pnevmatik enaka – nameščene so na kolesa avtobusov ali tovornjakov za mehki stik s cesto.
They would thus not subject to the same legislation, contrary to the suggestion in recital (75) of the provisional Regulation.
Podobni izdelek
The Commission rejected that claim.
Vsi vzorčeni kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC so od Komisije zahtevali, naj razkrije več informacij o vrstah pnevmatik, ki so bile uporabljene za primerjavo.
In recital (73) of the provisional Regulation, the Commission addressed how tyres were perceived in terms of safety performance and concluded that exactly the same technical, quality and safety perception differences arise between two new tyres from different tiers.
Trdili so, da nekatere razlike zelo verjetno niso bile zajete v kontrolni številki izdelka/vrstah izdelka in da bi bile potrebne prilagoditve.
In addition, Council Decision of 13 March 2006 amending Decisions 2001/507/EC and 2001/509/EC with a view to making United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE) Regulation Nos 109 and 108 on retreaded tyres compulsory lays down that the provisions of UN/ECE Regulations 108 and 109 are to apply as a compulsory condition for the placing on the market of retreaded tyres on the Union market, to ensure that retreaded tyres fulfil similar safety and quality control requirements as new tyres.
Kitajski izvozniki, združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC so trdili, da takih razlik niso mogli opredeliti, saj niso imeli informacij o izdelkih, ki so jih prodajali vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije.
Following final disclosure, the CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that the new tyres production process is essentially different from the process for retreaded tyres.
Te strani so podobne trditve ponovile po končnem razkritju.
While the Commission agrees with those parties that the production process is different, the use of new and retreaded tyres is the same — they are mounted on the wheels of either buses or lorries to form a soft contact with the road.
Združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC sta trdila, da ni jasno, ali se pojma „vrste izdelkov“ in „kontrolne številke izdelka“ razlikujeta, ter Komisijo pozvala, naj pojasni to vprašanje.
Like product
Komisija je za namen tega postopka potrdila, da sta pojma medsebojno zamenljiva.
All the Chinese sampled exporting producers, the CRIA and the CCCMC requested the Commission to disclose more information on the tyre types that were used for comparison purposes.
DAMPING
They claimed that it was highly likely that certain differences were not reflected in the PCN/product types and adjustments should be made.
Združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC, skupina Aeolus Group in družba Pirelli ter skupini Hankook Group in Giti Group so ugovarjali dejstvu, da je ostala zaupna ne samo identiteta proizvajalca iz primerljive države, ampak tudi podrobni izračuni normalne vrednosti.
The Commission found that the open file already contained sufficient information regarding the definition of the PCN/product types.
Komisija je spomnila, da je proizvajalec iz primerljive države zahteval zaupno obravnavo svoje identitete in je to zahtevo tudi utemeljil.
The product type definition is rather complex involving seven characteristics (including the section width, the aspect ratio, construction type, the rimwheel diameter, tyre position, winter tyre (yes or no), tubeless tyre (yes or no)).
Komisija je proučila utemeljenost zahteve po anonimnosti in ugotovila, da obstaja velika verjetnost maščevanja, zato se je strinjala s tem, da se ime te družbe ne bi smelo razkriti.
The Commission, accordingly, concluded that the PCN characteristics were detailed enough to take account of all product characteristics found on the Union market.
Poleg tega je proizvajalec iz primerljive države predložil dokaze, da bi lahko njegovi konkurenti na podlagi podatkov o prodaji in stroških, zlasti podatkov o prodaji po razredih, ugotovili njegovo identiteto in mu zagrozili z maščevanjem v primeru nadaljnjega sodelovanja.
Indeed, no other interested party claimed that the PCNs would not reflect all the differences between the different product types, and that the same product type produced in the Union differed from the same product type produced in the PRC.
Komisija se je zato s proizvajalcem strinjala, da je treba podrobne izračune normalne vrednosti ohraniti zaupne ali navesti v razponih.
Nor did any interested party provide any information as to which other characteristics would be necessary to ensure an even more complete or greater comparison between imported and domestic types of the product concerned.
Komisija je po zaslišanju pri pooblaščencu za zaslišanje iz uvodne izjave 14 razkrila dodatne informacije o proizvodnih stroških ter splošnih in administrativnih stroških (v nadaljnjem besedilu: PSA-stroški) proizvajalca iz primerljive države.
Therefore, the Commission maintained its finding that the characteristics of the PCNs were detailed enough to capture all relevant differences between the different product types, allowing a fair product (and price) comparison.
Normalna vrednost
Therefore, the Commission rejected that claim.
Tržnogospodarska obravnava (v nadaljnjem besedilu: TGO)
The CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that it was unclear whether the notions of product types and PCNs differ and requested the Commission to clarify that issue.
Skupina Giti Group, združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC so po začasnem razkritju trdili, da je pristop Komisije, ki še naprej uporablja člen 2(7) osnovne uredbe (pred spremembo, sprejeto 19. decembra 2017), pomenil kršitev zavez Unije, izraženih v protokolu o pristopu Kitajske k STO, in je bil zato nezakonit.
For the purpose of this proceeding, the Commission confirmed that the two notions are interchangeable.
V zvezi s tem se skupina Giti Group ni strinjala s trditvijo Komisije, da dokazno breme nosi skupina Giti Group, in je nazadnje opozorila še, da Komisiji pravno nič ne preprečuje, da bi določila normalno vrednost na podlagi lastnih stroškov skupine Giti Group in njenih podatkov o (domači) prodaji.
DUMPING
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 88 začasne uredbe, je Komisija pri preiskavi upoštevala zakonodajo, veljavno v času preiskave, vključno s členom 2(7)(b) in (c) osnovne uredbe.
The CRIA and the CCCMC, the Aeolus Group and Pirelli, the Hankook Group and the Giti Group objected to the fact that not only the identity of the analogue country producer has been kept confidential but also the detailed normal value calculations.
Skupina Giti Group je po začasnem razkritju trdila tudi, da je Komisija z zavrnitvijo njenega zahtevka za TGO kršila njene pravice do obrambe na dva načina:
They claimed that made it impossible for them to exercise their due process rights and meaningfully comment on the calculation of the normal value.
skupina Giti Group ni imela na voljo dovolj časa, da bi podala koristne pripombe v zvezi z razkritjem za TGO, saj je bil rok za predložitev pripomb v zvezi z razkritjem za TGO neustrezen in nerazumen, in
The Giti Group and the Hankook Group reiterated this claim following final disclosure.
Komisija je poročilo o preverjanju v zvezi s TGO razkrila šele 3. maja 2018 ali približno en mesec po tem, ko je bila sprejeta končna odločitev glede TGO (9. aprila 2018).
The Commission reminded that the analogue country producer requested the confidential treatment of its identity and provided a justification for it.
Komisija se s tema trditvama ni strinjala iz naslednjih razlogov:
The Commission examined the merits of the anonymity request and established that there was evidence of a significant possibility of retaliation, and accepted that the name of the company should not be disclosed.
Komisija je oceno za TGO posredovala 15. marca 2018, rok za predložitev pripomb pa je bil do zaključka delovnega dne 27. marca 2018.
In addition, the analogue country producer provided evidence that on the basis of its sales and costs data, in particular its sales by tier, its competitors could assess its identity and so threaten retaliation in case of continued cooperation.
Tak 12-dnevni rok je razumen in je skupini Giti Group omogočal, da ustrezno zagovarja svoj interes.
Following the hearing with the Hearing Officer mentioned in recital (14) the Commission disclosed additional information on the analogue country producer's Cost of Manufacturing (‘COM’) and General and Administrative expenses (‘SG&A’).
Službe Komisije so v tem dokumentu pregledno in podrobno predstavile vse ustrezne elemente, kar je skupini Giti Group omogočalo, da zagovarja svoje interese v zvezi z oceno za TGO.
Normal value
Poleg tega so bili preveritveni obiski pri skupini Giti Group izvedeni v treh tednih, na njih pa je bil prisoten vsaj en pravni svetovalec, ki je zastopal skupino Giti Group.
Market economy treatment (‘MET’)
Službe Komisije so med preveritvenimi obiski predstavnike družbe ustno in po e-pošti obveščale o informacijah, ki so bile uspešno preverjene, in informacijah, ki jih je bilo treba še preveriti ali predložiti.
Following provisional disclosure, the Giti Group, the CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that the Commission's approach of continuing to apply Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation (prior to the amendment adopted on 19 December 2017) constituted a violation of the Union's commitments made in China's WTO Accession Protocol and was therefore illegal.
Ob koncu vsakega preveritvenega obiska je pravni svetovalec skupine Giti Group prejel kopijo seznama celotnega dokaznega gradiva, zbranega med postopkom preverjanja.
In this context, the Giti Group disagreed with the Commission's claim that the burden of proof is on the Giti Group and noted as a final point that there was nothing legally precluding the Commission from determining normal value on the basis of the Giti Group's own costs and (domestic) sales data.
Zato je imela skupine Giti Group dovolj priložnosti, da predloži pripombe v zvezi z bistvenimi premisleki za oceno za TGO tudi brez poročila o misiji, v katerem se zgolj povzamejo dejanske ugotovitve, ki so že bile razkrite v dokumentu o razkritju za TGO.
As noted in recital (88) of the provisional Regulation, the Commission followed in its investigation the applicable law at the time of the investigation, including Articles 2(7)(b) and 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.
Skratka, po začasnem razkritju pripombe v zvezi s TGO niso vplivale na dejanske ugotovitve in niso bile take, da bi spremenile ugotovitve Komisije o TGO.
In this respect, the claim that the burden of proof is not on the Giti Group is not reconcilable with the applicable Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation which provides that ‘A claim under point (b) must be made in writing and contain sufficient evidence that the producer operates under market-economy conditions …’.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe presojo, ali je skupina Giti Group izpolnila merila TGO, izvedla v sedmih, vsekakor pa ne pozneje kot v osmih mesecih po začetku preiskave, tj. po tem, ko je industrija Unije dobila priložnost, da predloži pripombe.
Moreover, for determining normal value, Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation provides that the normal value can be determined ‘on the basis of the price or constructed value in a market economy third country, or the price from such a third country to other countries, including the Union …’.
Komisija je zato menila, da so bile pravice skupine Giti Group do obrambe v zvezi z njenimi ugotovitvami o TGO v celoti spoštovane.
Following provisional disclosure, the Giti Group also alleged that the Commission had violated its rights of defence in two ways by rejecting its MET claim:
Primerljiva država
the Giti Group had been given insufficient time to meaningfully comment on the MET disclosure as the deadline to submit comments on the MET disclosure had been inadequate and unreasonable; and
V začasni uredbi je Komisija v skladu s členom 2(7) osnovne uredbe kot primerljivo državo izbrala Brazilijo.
the Commission only disclosed its report on the MET verification (on 3 May 2018), or about one month after the final MET decision was made (on 9 April 2018).
Skupina Giti Group je po začasnem razkritju trdila, da Brazilija ni ustrezna primerljiva država, ker: (1) so v Braziliji manj ugodne razmere za dostop do surovin, saj je Kitajska večja proizvajalka naravnega kavčuka in je bližje glavnim virom proizvodnje v Jugovzhodni Aziji; (2) ima Brazilija uvedene protidampinške dajatve proti več državam; (3) ima Brazilija visoke redne 16-odstotne uvozne dajatve na nekatere pnevmatike za avtobuse in tovornjake.
The Commission disagreed with those allegations for the following reasons:
Komisija je spomnila, da je Brazilija konkurenčni trg, na katerem je v proizvodnji pnevmatik za avtobuse in tovornjake dejavnih pet velikih proizvajalcev.
The Commission had shared its MET assessment on 15 March 2018 with a deadline to comment by 27 March 2018 close of business.
Glede na potrošnjo je velik trg ter ima kljub uvedenim protidampinškim dajatvam in rednim carinam znaten uvoz in izvoz.
Such a deadline of 12 days is reasonable and allowed the Giti Group to properly defend its interest.
Komisija je spomnila tudi, da nima druge ustrezne alternative.
The MET disclosure document of 15 March 2018 contained not only the essential facts, but also the results of the on-the-spot investigation.
Edini tajski proizvajalec, ki je bil pripravljen sodelovati, je deloval samo v segmentu vrste pnevmatik z zračnico, zaradi česar ni bil primeren, saj več kot 95 % izvoza v Unijo predstavljajo pnevmatike brez zračnic.
In this specific document, the Commission services detailed in a transparent way all relevant elements thus allowing the Giti Group to defend its interests with respect to the MET assessment.
Južna Afrika je bila precej manjša po proizvodnji in potrošnji ter je imela uvedene celo višje redne protidampinške dajatve, zaradi česar je bila manj primerna od Brazilije.
Moreover, verification visits at the Giti Group took place during a time span of three weeks during which at least one legal counsel representing the Giti Group was present.
Komisija je zato potrdila, da je Brazilija med predlaganimi alternativami najprimernejša primerljiva država.
During the verification visits, the Commission services kept the representatives of the company informed, both orally and by e-mails, of the information which had been successfully verified and which still had to be verified or provided.
Komisija je poglobljeno proučila tudi stroške naravnega kavčuka v proizvodnih stroških proizvajalca iz primerljive države.
An identical list of all exhibits collected during the verification process had been provided to the legal counsel of the Giti Group at the end of each verification visit.
Stroški naravnega kavčuka na kilogram pnevmatik za avtobuse in tovornjake, ki jih je proizvedel proizvajalec iz primerljive države, so bili [4,1–4,5] RMB, kar je bilo v skladu s stroški, ki so jih kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki navedli v izpolnjenem vprašalniku.
Hence, even without a mission report, which only takes stock of the factual findings which had already been disclosed in the MET disclosure document, the Giti Group had ample opportunity to comment on the essential considerations for the MET assessment.
Na splošno so proizvodni stroški proizvajalca iz primerljive države na kilogram proizvedenih pnevmatik višji od proizvodnih stroškov, ki jih imajo na kilogram kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki.
In conclusion, following provisional disclosure, the comments on the MET did not put into question the factual findings and were not such as to alter the Commission's findings on MET.
Vendar je glavna razlika v ravni proizvodnih stroškov v Braziliji posledica višjih stroškov dela, neposrednih stroškov amortizacije ter drugih neposrednih in posrednih proizvodnih stroškov.
In accordance with Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation, the Commission has made its determination whether the Giti Group met the MET criteria — within seven months of, but in any event not later than eight months — after the initiation of the investigation, after the Union industry has been given an opportunity to comment.
Zato je bil zahtevek za prilagoditev zaradi razlike v ceni surovin v primerljivi državi in v LRK zavrnjen.
Consequently, the Commission considered that the rights of defence of the Giti Group have been fully respected with regards to its findings on MET.
Po začasnem razkritju so skupine Giti Group, Hankook Group in Aeolus Group ter družba Pirelli navedle, da je bilo treba normalno vrednost konstruirati za večino obsega njihove prodaje v Unijo, in trdile, da to vzbuja resen dvom o primerljivosti vrst izdelka, ki se prodajajo na domačem trgu primerljive države.
Analogue country
Skupina Giti Group je to trditev ponovila po končnem razkritju.
In the provisional Regulation, the Commission selected Brazil as the analogue country in accordance with Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation.
Zadevni izdelek vključuje širok nabor vrst izdelkov različnih velikosti in z drugimi lastnostmi.
Following provisional disclosure, the Giti Group claimed that Brazil did not constitute an appropriate analogue country because: (1) there are less favourable conditions of access to raw materials in Brazil, as China is a bigger producer of natural rubber and is closer to the main sources of production in South-East Asia; (2) Brazil has anti-dumping duties in place against several countries; (3) Brazil has high regular import duties of 16 % on certain bus and lorry tyres.
Dejstvo, da se nekatere velikosti in vrste pnevmatik v Braziliji niso proizvajale, ne pomeni, da brazilske vrste izdelka niso primerljive.
The Commission recalled that Brazil is a competitive market where five large producers are active in production of bus and lorry tyres.
Dejansko vrste izdelka, ki jih proizvaja brazilski proizvajalec, spadajo v isto skupino izdelkov in jih je mogoče deloma primerjati s tistimi, ki jih vzorčeni kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki izvažajo v Unijo.
It is a large market in terms of consumption and it has significant imports and exports, in spite of the anti-dumping duties and the regular customs duties in place.
Komisija je zato to trditev zavrnila.
The Commission also recalled that it did not have any other viable alternative.
Ker v zvezi z ustreznostjo primerljive države ni bilo drugih pripomb, se začasni sklep Komisije iz uvodne izjave 112 začasne uredbe, da se kot primerljiva država uporabi Brazilija, potrdi.
The only Thai producer that had been willing to cooperate was active only in tube type tyres, which made it unsuitable as more than 95 % of the exports to the Union are tubeless type tyres.
Podrobni podatki za izračun normalne vrednosti so navedeni v uvodnih izjavah od 113 do 115 začasne uredbe.
Finally, South Africa was much smaller in terms of production and consumption and had even higher regular anti-dumping duties, which made it less suitable than Brazil.
Vsi vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki so trdili, da je metoda za konstruiranje normalne vrednosti, ki jo je Komisija uporabila v začasni fazi, dala izredno visoke stopnje dampinga in rezultate, za katere pa se ne zdi, da ustrezajo dejanskemu stanju, saj normalna vrednost za drugi in tretji razred ni bila manjša, čeprav so dejansko pnevmatike drugega in tretjega razreda vedno cenejše.
Therefore, the Commission confirmed that Brazil was the most appropriate analogue country among the proposed alternatives.
Proizvajalci izvozniki so Komisijo pozvali, naj prilagodi normalno vrednost, da bi se upoštevali nižji stroški proizvodnje pnevmatik drugega in tretjega razreda.
The Commission also looked in-depth at the cost of natural rubber in the analogue country producer's COM.
Skupina Giti Group je zahtevala tudi prilagoditev, v kateri bi se upoštevali nižji proizvodni stroški pnevmatik z večjo širino preseka.
The cost of natural rubber per kilo of bus and lorry tyres produced by the analogue country producer was [4,1-4,5] RMB, which was in line with the cost of the Chinese exporting producers reported in their questionnaire reply.
Komisija je sprejela trditev, da se z metodo, ki jo je začasno uporabila za konstruiranje normalne vrednosti za neujemajoče se kontrolne številke izdelka, morda ni ustrezno upoštevala segmentacija na razrede.
Overall, the analogue country producer's COM/kg of output is higher than the COM/kg of the Chinese exporting producers.
Analizirala je vrste izdelka, ki jih je proizvajalec iz primerljive države proizvajal v vseh treh razredih, in ugotovila, da so proizvodni stroški/kos v drugem razredu v povprečju znašali [83–87] % proizvodnih stroškov/kos v prvem razredu, proizvodni stroški/kos v tretjem razredu pa so v povprečju znašali [77–82] % proizvodnih stroškov/kos v prvem razredu.
However the main difference in the level of COM in Brazil stems from higher labour cost, direct depreciation cost and other direct and indirect manufacturing costs.
Zato se je odločila, da bo izpopolnila metodo za konstruiranje normalne vrednosti, da bi se navedene razlike v proizvodnih stroških/kos za posamezni razred upoštevale, kot sledi.
Therefore, the claim to make an adjustment for the difference in price of the raw materials in the analogue country and in the PRC was rejected.
Prvič, izračunala je povprečne proizvodne stroške/kg za vse pnevmatike prvega razreda, ki jih je proizvajal proizvajalec iz primerljive države: [19–21] RMB/kg.
