Following the disclosure of the information document, the GOA claimed that the low profitability of the Union industry during the whole period between 2014 and the investigation period cannot be the result of the imports from Argentina that resumed only in September 2017.
Zato se predvideva, da bi lahko subvencionirani uvoz zadevnega izdelka zaradi narave podpornih ukrepov argentinske vlade še naprej negativno vplival na gospodarski položaj industrije Unije.
In this context, the unrelated importer, Gunvor, also commented following the disclosure of the information document that the Union industry is not suffering from material injury.
Znatna stopnja povečanja subvencioniranega uvoza na trg Unije, ki nakazuje verjetnost znatno povečanega uvoza
Following final disclosure, the GOA and CARBIO reiterated their comments with regard to the performance of the Union industry and made reference to a number of performance indicators that developed positively.
Obstaja jasna povezava med nenadnim in znatnim povečanjem uvoza biodizla iz Argentine na trg Unije od septembra 2017 in znižanjem protidampinških dajatev, uvedenim navedenega meseca, kot je prikazano v preglednici 9.
The GOA also reiterated its conclusion that in the absence of imports from Argentina the economic situation of the Union industry was not affected by the imports from Argentina.
To izraža sposobnost argentinskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, da se hitro odzovejo na spreminjajoče se tržne razmere.
The Commission observed that the trends, including the trends of profitability, show that the Union industry appears not to have fully recovered from the effects of past dumping.
Poleg tega podatki o uvozu biodizla iz Argentine po obdobju preiskave potrjujejo, da argentinski proizvajalci izvozniki po znižanju ali odpravi protidampinških dajatev kljub registraciji uvoza še naprej izvažajo na trg Unije podobne količine, kot so se izvažale v obdobju preiskave.
This refers to the period between 2014 and the investigation period that the GOA indicated in its comment.
Zato je Komisija ob upoštevanju privlačnosti trga Unije za argentinski izvoz menila, da po znižanju protidampinških dajatev septembra 2017 dejstvo, da se je obseg uvoza biodizla iz Argentine močno povečal, izraža verjetnost, da se bo tak uvoz še naprej povečeval.
In addition, although imports from Argentina indeed resumed only in September 2017, the fact that they reached an estimated market share of more than 10 % in the last quarter of 2017 cannot be unrelated to the Union industry reaching only 0,8 % profitability during the investigation period (and ultimately losses afterwards).
Analiza uvoza v obdobju od januarja do avgusta 2018 iz uvodne izjave 463 potrjuje dejansko nadaljnje povečevanje uvoza biodizla iz Argentine.
Economic indicators following the investigation period
Zadostne prosto razpoložljive zmogljivosti in absorpcijska zmogljivost tretjih držav
The Commission requested and received replies to additional questions to the sampled Union producers.
Po kmetijski statistiki OECD o svetovni potrošnji biodizla je potrošnja biodizla v Argentini leta 2017 obsegala le približno 3,5 % svetovne potrošnje.
The post-investigation period data, like the microeconomic indicators for the investigation period, were presented as a weighted average of the three sampled Union producers.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 202, je Argentina v obdobju preiskave izvozila 57 % svoje proizvodnje.
For the post-investigation period, for certain macroeconomic indicators such as capacity, capacity utilisation, production and sales the information could only be analysed for the sampled Union producers, due to the time limits of the investigation.
Nizka raven argentinske potrošnje v primerjavi s svetovno potrošnjo ter potrošnjo v Uniji, kjer znaša približno 40 %, in v ZDA, kjer znaša približno 25 %, jasno kaže, da je argentinski sektor biodizla izvozno usmerjen in odvisen od teh trgov (glej tudi uvodno izjavo 209).
Therefore, the figures for the investigation period are not directly comparable to the figures given in Section 4.4.2.
Neizkoriščena zmogljivost argentinskih proizvajalcev biodizla v obdobju preiskave je ocenjena na več kot 1,2 milijona ton.
The figures nevertheless allow an analysis of the development of the situation of the sampled Union producers after the investigation period.
Ta ocena temelji na informacijah, prejetih od vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki predstavljajo 84 % celotnega izvoza v Unijo, ekstrapoliranih na celotno argentinsko industrijo.
The production, sales and unit costs and unit sales prices, of the sampled Union producers developed as follows:
Neizkoriščena zmogljivost argentinskih proizvajalcev biodizla je glede na informacije, ki jih je Komisiji predložil Evropski odbor za biodizel, v obdobju po obdobju preiskave ostala na podobni ravni.
Union industry following the investigation period
Oktobra 2017 so ZDA uvedle začasne protidampinške dajatve, ki so se gibale od 54,36 % do 70,05 %.
January-March 2018
ZDA so 3. januarja 2018 potrdile te dajatve v končni ugotovitvi in nekoliko spremenile stopnje, ki so se tako gibale od 60,44 % do 86,41 %.
April-June 2018
Obseg stopnje dajatev, uvedenih v ZDA, ki so bile pred uvedbo teh dajatev najpomembnejši izvozni trg za Argentino, jasno kaže, da je bil zadevni izvoz biodizla takoj preusmerjen na trg Unije.
Total production (tonnes)
Ta preusmeritev je okrepljena s skoraj istočasnim znižanjem protidampinških dajatev na argentinski biodizel v Uniji.
Index (annualised)
Ta razvoj je prikazan v preglednici 20 v nadaljevanju:
The developments during the period following the investigation period are presented in comparison to the investigation period for the first and second quarter of 2018, with values indexed to the investigation period.
Preglednica 20
The capacity of the sampled Union producers in the first half of 2018 remained stable whereas the capacity utilisation decreased from 85 % to 76 %.
Obseg izvoza (v tonah) na mesec
Both, the production and sales decreased in the first and the second quarter following the investigation period.

Both, the unit costs and the unit sales prices decreased in both quarters following the investigation period.
Obseg izvoza iz Argentine (v tonah)
The unit cost of production decreased by 5 % while the average sales price decreased by 7 %, leading to the decrease in profitability described in recital (398).
V ZDA
Conclusion on injury
V Unijo
Apart from a negligible figure of imports in 2015, there were no imports of biodiesel from Argentina to the Union market before September 2017.
Raven izvoza iz Argentine v Unijo, navedena v preglednici 20, ni enaka ravni uvoza iz Argentine v Unijo, navedeni v preglednici 9 v uvodni izjavi 333.
Although these imports started only late in the investigation period, the imports reached a level that allowed them to reach a market share of 2,8 % in the investigation period increasing to an estimated market share of more than 10 % in the last quarter of 2017, which appears to be confirmed for the first half of 2018, in spite of the registration of imports.
Razlika ni le posledica različnih virov podatkov, ampak zlasti različnega časa registracije izvoznih in uvoznih transakcij v ustreznih statistikah.
During the period considered the injury indicators showed a mixed picture.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 425, obstaja v Argentini zadostna prosto razpoložljiva zmogljivost, ki se zaradi spremembe vzorca prodaje (in sicer izključitve trga ZDA) še povečuje.
Production and sales of the Union industry largely followed the market demand, were stable between 2014 and 2016, and increased in the investigation period, without fully benefitting from the market growth towards the end of the period considered, which was partly taken by the subject imports.
To kaže verjetnost znatnega povečanja količin subvencioniranega izvoza v Unijo.
Investments significantly increased during the period considered.
Drugih znanih izvoznih trgov, ki bi lahko absorbirali ta dodatni izvoz, ni, saj ZDA in Unija skupaj predstavljata približno 2/3 svetovne potrošnje biodizla.
This was a positive development indicating that the industry started to recover.
Po razkritju informativnega dokumenta so perujski organi v zvezi z absorpcijsko zmogljivostjo izvoznih trgov za argentinske proizvajalce izvoznike 10. julija 2018 potrdili uvedbo protidampinških in izravnalnih dajatev, ki so skupaj znašale od 137,4 do 399,8 USD na tono.
The start of the increase of employment in 2015 can also be regarded as an indication that the Union industry started to improve its condition in the absence of subsidised imports from Argentina.
Komisija je ugotovila, da bi lahko grožnja nadaljnjega preusmerjanja uvoza iz Argentine povzročila škodo industriji Unije.
In the period following the investigation period the majority of economic indicators showed a clear further deterioration of the economic situation of the Union industry.
Raven cene subvencioniranega uvoza
This concerns the capacity utilisation, production, sales and unit sales prices, as described above.
Uvoženi biodizel iz Argentine, ki je prispel na trg Unije v zadnjih štirih mesecih obdobja preiskave, je bil uvožen po cenah, precej nižjih od cen, ki jih je zaračunavala industrija Unije.
However, the profitability of the Union industry remained low for most of the period considered, and it did not manage to further improve its productivity per employee.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 354, je Komisija za obdobje preiskave določila tehtane povprečne stopnje nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen, ki so znašale od 9,5 % do 15,2 %.
This indicates that the Union industry did not manage to reach the level of regular, profitable operations in this short time.
To razliko potrjuje primerjava cen iz statističnih podatkov o uvozu in prodajnih cen industrije Unije.
The situation further deteriorated in the first six months of 2018 when the Union industry reported losses.
V obdobju po obdobju preiskave so se cene biodizla, uvoženega iz Argentine, še dodatno znižale.
The Commission found that the investigation period was already negatively influenced by imports from Argentina and the period following the investigation period indicated further deterioration of the situation of the Union industry.
Raven zalog
In spite of an increase of sales and production, caused by increasing consumption during the investigation period, the Union industry did not show indications of improving its economic situation.
Gibanje ravni zalog vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije je podrobno opisano v uvodni izjavi 394.
In fact, during the investigation period, the Union industry showed almost no profits in view of the pressure exercised by the low prices of the subject imports.
Kot je pojasnjeno, je raven zalog zaradi dejstva, da se zadevni izdelek prodaja v velikih količinah, manj pomemben kazalnik za grožnjo škode.
The low profits during the investigation period turned into losses in the first six months of 2018.
Komisija je ob upoštevanju analize dejavnikov v zvezi z grožnjo škode, navedenih v uvodni izjavi 419, sklenila, da se bo občutljiv gospodarski položaj industrije Unije verjetno poslabšal zaradi neposrednega in stalnega obsežnega subvencioniranega uvoza biodizla iz Argentine.
The trends examined before show that the Union industry appears not to have fully recovered from the effects of past dumping.
Zato je ob koncu obdobja preiskave obstajala vsaj grožnja jasno predvidljive in neizogibne škode industriji Unije, kar podpira ugotovitev grožnje škode iz člena 8(8) osnovne uredbe.
Whilst not being conclusive on the existence of material injury during the period of investigation, the Commission will examine whether there is, at the very least, a threat of material injury.
Komisija je v uvodni izjavi 428 navedla podrobne informacije o razvoju mesečnega uvoza biodizla iz Argentine v obdobju preiskave.
THREAT OF INJURY
Uvoz, za katerega je Komisija ugotovila, da je subvencioniran, in njegove stalne velike količine, uvožene v Unijo, so ob koncu obdobja preiskave predstavljali grožnjo predvidljive in neizogibne škode za industrijo Unije.
In accordance with Article 8(8) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the subsidised imports from the country concerned amount to a threat of material injury to the Union industry.
Komisija zato ni spremenila svoje ugotovitve o grožnji škode v skladu s členom 8(8) osnovne uredbe.
In the analysis of a threat of material injury to the Union industry, in accordance with Article 8(8), second subparagraph, of the basic Regulation, consideration is given to such factors as:
Po dokončnem razkritju je zbornica CARBIO v zvezi z analizo ekonomskih kazalnikov po obdobju preiskave pripomnila, da so cene RME sezonske narave, da so bile v obdobju od avgusta do oktobra 2018 cene RME visoke, kot še nikoli doslej, in da se je prodaja industrije Unije v obdobju, ki je sledilo obdobju preiskave, povečala v primerjavi z letom 2016.
the nature of the subsidy or subsidies in question and the trade effects likely to arise therefrom,
Komisija je te pripombe upoštevala.
a significant rate of increase of subsidised imports into the Union market indicating the likelihood of substantially increased imports,
Vendar niso v nasprotju z ugotovitvijo Komisije in je ne spreminjajo, zlasti v zvezi s škodo v obdobju preiskave, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 417.
sufficient freely disposable capacity of the exporting producer on the part of the exporter or an imminent and substantial increase in such capacity indicating the likelihood of substantially increased subsidised exports to the Union, account being taken of the availability of other export markets to absorb any additional exports,
VZROČNA ZVEZA
whether imports are entering at prices that would, to a significant degree, depress prices or prevent price increases which otherwise would have occurred, and would probably increase demand for further imports, and
Komisija je v skladu s členom 8(5) osnovne uredbe proučila, ali je grožnjo znatne škode industriji Unije povzročil obstoječi subvencionirani uvoz iz zadevne države.
the level of inventories.
V skladu s členom 8(6) osnovne uredbe je proučila tudi druge znane dejavnike, ki bi lahko hkrati ogrožali industrijo Unije.
The nature of the subsidy or subsidies in question and the trade effects likely to arise therefrom
Prepričala se je, da morebitna grožnja škode, ki so jo povzročili drugi dejavniki in ne subvencionirani uvoz iz Argentine, ni posledica subvencioniranega uvoza.
In recital (304), the Commission concluded on the existence of countervailable subsidies in accordance with the basic Regulation.
Ta dejavnika sta uvoz iz tretjih držav in izvoz industrije Unije.
Those subsidies found show that the imports of the product concerned potentially benefit from governmental support.
Učinki subvencioniranega uvoza
The significant undercutting found during and after the investigation period is expected to affect even more negatively the delicate economic situation of the Union industry already observed during the investigation period.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 334, v obdobju 2014–2016 in prvih mesecih obdobja preiskave uvoza iz Argentine v Unijo ni bilo ali pa je bil zanemarljiv.
Moreover, as explained in recital (158), the GOA's measures supporting the domestic biodiesel industry ensure that biodiesel exports remain very competitive because of the lower costs of obtaining soybeans (as opposed to Union producers who are impacted by higher price fluctuations in the costs of the rapeseeds).
Vendar pa se je uvoz v zadnjih mesecih obdobja preiskave močno povečal.
It is therefore foreseeable that the subsidised imports of the product concerned, because of the nature of the GOA's support measures, could continue to negatively affect the Union industry's economic situation.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 381, je bil ocenjeni tržni delež uvoza iz Argentine za zadnje četrtletje leta 2017 večji od 10 % in je ostal večji od 10 % tudi v prvem četrtletju leta 2018, tj. po obdobju preiskave, in kljub registraciji uvoza.
Significant rate of increase of subsidised imports into the Union market indicating the likelihood of substantially increased imports
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 354, je uvoz biodizla iz Argentine v obdobju preiskave nelojalno znižal prodajne cene industrije Unije za 9,5 % do 15,2 %.
There is a clear link between the sudden and substantial increase of biodiesel imports to the Union market from Argentina since September 2017 and the reduction of the anti-dumping duties imposed as of that month, as shown in Table 9.
Glede na časovno sovpadanje po eni strani znatnega in nenadnega povečanja subvencioniranega uvoza argentinskega biodizla po cenah, nižjih od cen industrije Unije, ter po drugi strani ocenjene izgube tržnega deleža industrije Unije v zadnjem četrtletju leta 2017 in prvem četrtletju leta 2018, skupaj z nezmožnostjo ustvarjanja dobička, je Komisija sklenila, da je ta subvencionirani uvoz negativno vplival na položaj industrije Unije.
This indicates the ability of the Argentinian exporting producers to quickly react to the changing market conditions.
Poleg tega so zanemarljiv delež domače potrošnje v Argentini, velika neizkoriščena zmogljivost argentinskih proizvajalcev biodizla in omejevanje dostopa do drugega največjega izvoznega trga (ZDA) usmerjali presežno proizvodnjo iz Argentine v Unijo, ki predstavlja 40 % svetovne potrošnje.
In addition, the data showing Argentinian biodiesel imports following the investigation period confirms that, in spite of the registration of imports, the Argentinian exporting producers continue to export to the Union market similar quantities to the ones exported during the investigation period, once the anti-dumping duties were reduced or lifted.
Tako je Unija v škodo industrije Unije postala ena najprivlačnejših destinacij za subvencionirani uvoz biodizla iz Argentine.
Therefore, in view of the attractiveness of the Union market for the Argentinian exports, the Commission considered that after the reduction of anti-dumping duties in September 2017, the fact that the volume of biodiesel imports from Argentina have increased significantly indicates the likeliness that such imports will continue to increase.
Argentinska vlada je po razkritju informativnega dokumenta trdila, da uvoz iz Argentine ne predstavlja znatnega povečanja uvoza ali tržnega deleža.
The analysis of imports during the period of January to August 2018 set out in recital (463) confirms actual further increase of biodiesel imports from Argentina.
Nepovezani uvoznik Gunvor je v zvezi s tem navedel, da se je uvoz vrnil na pretekla povprečja.
Sufficient freely disposable capacity and absorption capacity of third countries
V zvezi s tem je Komisija ocenjeni tržni delež, ki je v zadnjem četrtletju leta 2017 presegel 10 % v primerjavi z ničelnim tržnim deležem v prvih osmih mesecih leta 2017, štela za znatno povečanje.
According to the OECD agricultural statistics of the world biodiesel consumption, in 2017 Argentina had only around 3,5 % of the worldwide consumption.
Poleg tega je zbornica CARBIO po razkritju informativnega dokumenta navedla, da mora Komisija v okviru analize grožnje škode navesti verjetnost znatnega povečanja uvoza ter da povečanje uvoza, ki ga je mogoče pripisati zgolj ponovni vzpostavitvi domnevno običajnih razmer na področju trgovine in konkurence, ki je rezultat odprave neupravičenih protidampinških dajatev, ne kaže, da bi se lahko uvoz še naprej znatno povečeval.
As indicated in recital (202), Argentina exported during the investigation period 57 % of its production.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah od 335 do 338, se je uvoz biodizla iz Argentine leta 2018 nadaljeval in dosegel ocenjeno raven 11,5 %.
The low level of Argentinian consumption compared with the worldwide consumption, and consumption in the Union at around 40 % and the USA at around 25 % clearly indicates that the Argentinian biodiesel sector is export-oriented and dependent on these markets (see also recital (209)).
Po mnenju Komisije to povečanje uvoza iz Argentine izraža nepravične pogoje trgovanja (v nasprotju z običajnimi pogoji trgovanja brez predhodno obstoječih protidampinških ukrepov) zaradi ugotovljenega obstoja subvencij.
The spare capacity of the Argentinian biodiesel producers during the investigation period is estimated at more than 1,2 million tonnes.
Zato je Komisija menila, da subvencionirani uvoz argentinskega biodizla pomeni grožnjo znatne škode za industrijo Unije.
That estimate is based on information received from the sampled exporting producers, which represent 84 % of all exports to the Union, extrapolated to the whole Argentinian industry.
Drugi znani dejavniki
The spare capacity of the Argentinian biodiesel producers remained at a similar level in the period following the investigation period according to the information provided to the Commission by the EBB.
Komisija je tudi proučila, ali lahko drugi znani dejavniki, posamično ali skupaj, oslabijo vzročno zvezo med subvencioniranim uvozom in grožnjo škode, za katero je bilo ugotovljeno, da obstaja.
On 27 August 2017, the USA imposed provisional countervailing duties against imports of biodiesel from Argentina at rates between 50 % and 60 % and then on 9 November 2017 definitive duties at rates between 71,45 % and 72,28 %.
Zbornica CARBIO je po razkritju informativnega dokumenta trdila, da industrija Unije v obravnavanem obdobju, tj. v času, ko ni bilo izvoza iz Argentine, ni uspela postopno okrevati.
On 3 January 2018, the USA confirmed those duties in its Final Determination, slightly modifying the levels to range from 60,44 % to 86,41 %.
Komisija je v uvodni izjavi 416 sklenila, da je dobičkonosnost industrije Unije dejansko ostala nizka večino obravnavanega obdobja in da industrija Unije ni uspela doseči ravni rednih, dobičkonosnih dejavnosti.
This redirection is reinforced by the almost simultaneous decrease of anti-dumping duties on Argentinian biodiesel in the Union.
Poleg tega dejstvo, da proizvajalci Unije uporabljajo oljno ogrščico kot surovino (v primerjavi z argentinskimi proizvajalci izvozniki, ki uporabljajo sojo), ne pojasnjuje razlike v ceni med biodizlom iz Unije in argentinskim biodizlom.
This development is shown in Table 20 below:
Če bi proizvajalci izvozniki kupovali sojo po neizkrivljenih cenah, bi bile njihove izvozne cene zelo podobne cenam Unije.
Table 20
Tako v preiskavi, kot je podrobneje pojasnjeno v nadaljevanju, niso bili ugotovljeni dejavniki, ki bi oslabili vzročno zvezo med subvencioniranim uvozom in ugotovljeno grožnjo škode.

Ljudska republika Kitajska
The level of exports from Argentina to the Union provided in Table 20 does not equate the level of imports to the Union from Argentina provided in Table 9 in recital (333).
Količina (v tonah)
The difference is not only due to a different source of data, but mainly to a different timing in registering export and import transactions in the respective statistics.
Povprečna cena (v EUR/tono)
As indicated in recital (425), there is sufficient freely disposable capacity in Argentina which is even increasing due to a change in the pattern of sales (namely the exclusion of the USA market).
Malezija
That indicates the likelihood of substantially increasing quantities of subsidised exports to the Union.
Vse države razen Argentine, Kitajske in Malezije
There are no other known export markets that could absorb those additional exports, since the USA and the Union together account for around 2/3 of the global consumption of biodiesel.
Razen uvoza iz Argentine je le še uvoz iz dveh drugih držav, tj. Ljudske republike Kitajske (v nadaljnjem besedilu: LRK) in Malezije, presegel 1-odstotni tržni delež v katerem koli danem letu.
