Cash flow, which is the ability of the industry to self-finance its activities, was positive in the years 2014-2015 but then following the decreasing trend in profitability it became negative in 2016 and the review investigation period.
Razmerje zalog in obsega proizvodnje pa je v obravnavanem obdobju ostalo nespremenjeno (približno 3 %).
The Union producers were still able to invest over the whole period considered but the evolution of profitability and cash flow adversely affected also the level of investments, which decreased by 64 % over the period considered.
Trend ravni zalog je v skladu s trendom obsega proizvodnje.
Furthermore, the return on investments is negative from 2015 onwards, following the trend in profitability.
Vendar se v tem primeru ta kazalec ne šteje za zelo pomembnega za oceno gospodarskega položaja proizvajalcev Unije, saj se brezšivne cevi običajno proizvajajo po naročilu.
In light of the above, it can be concluded that the financial performance of the sampled Union producers was negative during the review investigation period.
Končne zaloge (v tonah)
The level of stocks of the sampled Union producers decreased by 21 % during the period considered.
Povprečni stroški dela vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije so se v obravnavanem obdobju nekoliko zmanjšali, kar je del poskusa industrije Unije, da bi prestrukturirala svoje stroške.
However, the ratio of stocks to the production volume remains stable in the period considered (around 3 %).
Ta kazalec je posebno pomemben, saj stroški dela predstavljajo več kot 25 % stroškov proizvodnje brezšivnih cevi.
The trend in level of stocks follows the trend in production output.
Povprečni stroški dela na zaposlenega (v EUR)
In this case however, this indicator is not considered of big relevance to asssess the economic situation of the Union producers as, normally, SPT are produced to order.
Sklep o verjetnosti nadaljevanja ali ponovitve škode
Closing stocks (tonnes)
Ob upoštevanju uvodnih izjav od 131 do 162 se sklene, da so bili proizvajalci Unije v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom v manj ugodnem položaju v primerjavi z letom 2014 in da je industrija Unije utrpela znatno škodo v smislu člena 3(5) osnovne uredbe.
Labour costs
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je večina kazalcev škode v obravnavanem obdobju poslabšala.
The average labour costs of the sampled Union producers decreased slightly during the period considered, which is part of the attempt of the Union industry to restructure its costs.
Obseg prodaje se je zmanjšal za 10 %, obseg proizvodnje za 23 %, stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti pa se je zmanjšala s 63 % na 49 %.
This indicator is especially important as labour costs account for more than 25 % of the costs of production of SPT.
Čeprav je industriji Unije uspelo ohraniti svojo raven tržnega deleža, in sicer približno 81 %, je to storila v škodo svoji dobičkonosnosti; dejansko so se prodajne cene v Uniji znatno znižale (-19 %).
Average labour costs per employee (EUR)
Čeprav si je industrija Unije prizadevala, da bi zmanjšala stroške proizvodnje (zmanjšala jih je za 9 %), ima od leta 2015 izgubo.
Conclusion on likelihood of continuation or recurrence of injury
Med letom 2014 (6,2 % dobička) in obdobjem preiskave v zvezi s pregledom (6,0 % izgube) se je dobičkonosnost zmanjšala za 12,2 odstotne točke.
In view of recitals (131) to (162), it is concluded that the Union producers were in a less favourable situation during the review investigation period compared to 2014 and that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Finančni kazalci, kot sta denarni tok in donosnost naložb, so se tudi spremenili iz pozitivnih leta 2014 v negativne v nadaljnjih letih in obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
The investigation showed that the majority of the injury indicators deteriorated during the period considered.
V istem obdobju so se naložbe zmanjšale za 64 %.
Sales volume decreased by 10 %, production volume by 23 % and the capacity utilisation rate dropped from 63 % to 49 %.
Nadaljevanje škode je posledica več dejavnikov, kot so zmanjšanje potrošnje Unije in znižanje izvoznih cen.
Even if the Union industry managed to maintain its level of market share around 81 %, this was at the expense of its profitability; indeed, Union sales prices decreased significantly (-19 %).
Poleg tega pa so se cene Unije znižale zaradi dampinškega uvoza.
Despite efforts to reduce costs of production (9 % reduction), the Union industry became loss making as from 2015.
Ukrajina je z nizkimi in dampinškimi cenami dejansko povečala svoj obseg izvoza v Unijo za 14 % ter v obravnavanem obdobju povečala svoj tržni delež za 27 %.
Between 2014 (6,2 % profit) and the review investigation period (6,0 % loss) profitability dropped by 12,2 percentage points.
En ukrajinski izvoznik je nelojalno znižal prodajne cene Unije za skoraj 30 %.
The financial indicators such as cash flow and return on investment also changed from positive in 2014 to negative in the following years and the review investigation period.
V tej zelo kapitalsko intenzivni industriji je zmanjšanje obsega proizvodnje skupaj z znižanjem cen negativno vplivalo na dobičkonosnost.
Over the same period investments dropped by 64 %.
Po dokončnem razkritju so vlada Ukrajine in dva ruska proizvajalca izvoznika navedli več dejavnikov, ki bi jih bilo treba tako kot druge dejavnike upoštevati pri analizi vzročne povezave med slabim položajem industrije Unije in uvozom iz zadevnih držav.
The continuation of injury results from several factors such as the decrease of the Union consumption and the drop in export sales.
Taki dejavniki naj bi bili zmanjšanje potrošnje Unije, domača konkurenca med proizvajalci Unije, slab izvoz proizvajalec Unije, presežna zmogljivost in visoki fiksni stroški družb Unije ter uvoz iz Belorusije.
But in addition to this, Union prices were depressed by dumped imports.
Kot je priznano v uvodni izjavi 165, je nadaljevanje škode posledica več dejavnikov.
Indeed, Ukraine increased its export volume to the Union by 14 %, at low and dumped prices, and gained market share over the period considered by 27 %.
Drugi dejavniki, razen zmanjšanja potrošnje, znižanja izvoznih cen in dampinškega uvoza, niso imeli pomembne vloge.
The sole Ukrainian exporter undercut Union prices by almost 30 %.
Nizka stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti dejansko bolj izraža zmanjšanje proizvodnje kot presežno zmogljivost, pri čemer se je uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav na splošno zmanjšal.
In this highly capital intensive industry, a decrease in production volume combined with price depression had negative effects on profitability.
Tudi tržni deleži industrije Unije so v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom ostali razmeroma stabilni.
Following final disclosure, the Government of Ukraine and two Russian exporting producers listed several factors that should have beeen taken into account as other factors in the analysis of the causal link between the injurious situation of the Union industry and imports from the countries concerned.
Trditev v zvezi s konkurenco med proizvajalci Unije ni bila utemeljena.
Such factors allegedly were the decreasing Union consumption, domestic competition amongst Union producers, unsatisfactory export performance of the Union producers, overcapacity and high fixed costs of the Union companies and imports from Belarus.
Temelji zgolj na tem, da je vzorec proizvajalcev Unije predstavljal le 30 % proizvodnje EU in da bi zato bilo treba proučiti konkurenco med vzorčenimi in nevzorčenimi proizvajalci.
As recognised in recital (165), the continuation of injury results from several factors.
To trditev bi bilo treba zavrniti, saj je v nasprotju z razlogi za uporabo vzorčenja.
In addition to the decrease in consumption, the drop in export sales and the dumped imports, other factors did not play a significant role.
Komisija je dejansko proučila položaj vseh proizvajalcev Unije, vendar je – glede na veliko število proizvajalcev – proučitev nekaterih dejavnikov omejila na vzorec, ki je reprezentativen za celotno industrijo Unije.
Indeed, the low rate of capacity utilisation rather reflects a decrease in production rather than a situation of overcapacity, and imports from other third country overall decreased.
Zato ni treba proučiti učinka nevzorčenih proizvajalcev na družbe, ki so bile izbrane v vzorec.
The Union industry market shares also remained relatively stable during the review investigation period.
Kot je pojasnjeno spodaj, se sklep o škodi v tem primeru vsekakor osredotoča zlasti na verjetno stanje industrije Unije v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov.
The claim concerning competition between Union producers was not substantiated.
Po dokončnem razkritju sta vlada Ukrajine in eden od ukrajinskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov poudarila, da je bil tržni delež ukrajinskega izvoza v Unijo le 6-odstoten, pri čemer se v prihodnosti verjetno ne bo povečal zaradi domače potrošnje v Ukrajini in precejšnje diverzifikacije ukrajinskega izvoza, ki je pridobil nove trge.
It merely relies on the grounds that the sample of Union producers accounted for only 30 % of the EU production and that therefore the competition between the sampled and non sampled producers should be examined.
V odgovor na navedeno bi bilo treba poudariti, da je sedanji 6-odstotni tržni delež že razlog za škodo industriji Unije, zlasti ob upoštevanju znatnega nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen.
This claim should be rejected since it contradicts the rational of using sampling.
Poudariti bi bilo treba tudi, da se je ukrajinski uvoz v smislu obsega v obravnavanem obdobju povečal kljub veljavnim protidampinškim dajatvam.
The Commission indeed examined the situation of all the Union producers but — given the large number of producers — limited its examination of certain factors to a sample which is representatitve of the overall Union Industry.
Eden od ukrajinskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, delno podprt tudi v stališču vlade Ukrajine, je dodatno trdil, da bi Komisija morala pri analizi ponovnega pojava škode upoštevati sporazum o skupnem podjetju, ki sta ga podpisala zadevni ukrajinski proizvajalec izvoznik in eden on največjih proizvajalcev zadevnega izdelka v Uniji.
There is therefore no need to examine the effect of the non-sampled producers on those companies selected in the sample.
Po mnenju ukrajinskega proizvajalca bo imelo stanje tega sporazuma o skupnem podjetju znaten vpliv na obseg prihodnjega izvoza družbe v EU, distribucijske kanale in določitev cene.
In any event, as explained below, the conclusion on injury in this case especially focuses on the likely situation of the Union industry in case measures were repealed.
Komisija se sklicuje na svoje izpodbijanje v uvodni izjavi 124.
Following final disclosure, the Government of Ukraine and one of the Ukrainian exporting producers raised the point that the market share of Ukrainian exports in the Union consumption amouned to 6 % only and is not likely to increase in the future due to domestic consumption in Ukraine and significant diversification of Ukrainian exports which gained new markets.
Rusija je imela majhen obseg uvoza v EU, vendar je bilo ugotovljeno, da so njene cene tudi nelojalno znižale prodajne cene Unije.
In response to this point, it should be underlined that the current 6 % market share is already a cause of injury to the Union industry, especially taking into account the significant price undercutting.
Izvedena je bila analiza verjetnega prihodnjega obsega izvoza iz te države v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov, kot je bilo opisano v uvodnih izjavah od 50 do 68.
It should be also noted that the increase of Ukrainian imports in volume terms over the period under consideration took place despite the anti-dumping duties in force.
Pokazala je, da se bo uvoz iz Rusije verjetno povečal na ravni, ki so znatno večje od teh, doseženih v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
One of the Ukrainian exporting producers, supported also partially in the submission of the Government of Ukraine, claimed additionally that the Commission should have taken into account in its recurrence of injury analysis the joint venture agreement signed between the Ukrainian exporting producer in question and one of the biggest Union producers of the product concerned.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 53 in 93, imata obe državi precejšnje neizkoriščene zmogljivosti in bosta v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov verjetno povečali uvoz po nizkih cenah, saj je trg Unije v smislu obsega in cen privlačen.
According to the Ukrainian producer, the condition of this joint venture agreement will have a significant influence on the volume of future exports of the company to the EU, distribution channels and price setting.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 56 in 108, bo trg Unije verjetno postal še privlačnejši zaradi 25-odstotne dajatve, ki so jo ZDA uvedle marca 2018 na uvoz izdelkov iz jekla, vključno z brezšivnimi cevmi.
The Commission refers to its rebuttal in recital (124) above.
ZDA so eden izmed glavnih izvoznih trgov Rusije in Ukrajine, trg Unije pa bo verjetno postal cilj za vsaj del količin, ki se morda ne bodo mogle več prodati v ZDA.
Russia only exported a small volume to the EU, but its prices were also found to undercut Union prices.
Industrija Unije je še vedno ranljiva, njen položaj pa bi postal še težji, če bi ukrepi bili razveljavljeni.
A prospective analysis of the likely export volumes from this country, should measures be repealed, was performed as described in recitals (50) to (68).
Ukrajinski dampinški uvoz po nizkih cenah bi se še naprej povečeval, ruski dampinški uvoz pa bi se verjetno ponovil v precejšnjem obsegu, zato bi se na trgu Unije cene še naprej nižale in izgubljal bi se obseg prodaje.
It revealed that imports from Russia would likely increase to levels significantly above those reached in the review investigation period.
INTERES UNIJE
As explained in recitals (53) and (93) above, both countries have substantial spare capacity, and are likely to increase low priced imports in case measures are repealed, given the attractiveness of the Union market in terms of volume and prices.
Uvod
The attractiveness of the Union market, as explained in recitals (56) and (108), is likely to increase due to the 25 % duty imposed in March 2018 by the USA on imports of steel products, including SPT.
V skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe je bilo proučeno, ali bi bila ohranitev obstoječih protidampinških ukrepov proti Rusiji in Ukrajini v nasprotju z interesom Unije kot celote.
The USA are one of the main export markets for Russia and Ukraine, and the Union market is a likely target for at least part of the quantities that may no longer be sold in the USA.
Določitev interesa Unije je temeljila na oceni vseh različnih interesov.
The Union industry is still in a vulnerable position, and its situation would become even more difficult should the measures be repealed.
Upoštevati je treba, da se v prejšnjih preiskavah sprejetje ukrepov ni štelo za nasprotno interesu Unije.
Low priced Ukrainian dumped imports would continue to increase and Russian dumped imports would likely recur in significant quantities, causing further price depression and lost sales on the Union market.
Poleg tega dejstvo, da je sedanja preiskava pregled, torej analiza dejanskega stanja, v katerem že veljajo protidampinški ukrepi, omogoča oceno kakršnega koli negativnega učinka sedanjih protidampinških ukrepov na zadevne strani.
UNION INTEREST
Na podlagi tega je bilo proučeno, ali so kljub sklepom o verjetnosti nadaljevanja ali ponovitve škodljivega dampinga obstajali utemeljeni razlogi za sklep, da ohranitev ukrepov proti uvozu s poreklom iz Rusije in Ukrajine v tem konkretnem primeru ni v interesu Unije.
Introduction
Interes industrije Unije
In compliance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether maintenance of the existing anti-dumping measures against Russia and Ukraine would be against the interest of the Union as a whole.
Kar zadeva interes Unije, bi se v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov gospodarski položaj industrije Unije, ki je že nestabilen in ki zdaj zagotavlja 13000 delovnih mest v jeklarskem sektorju v zvezi z zadevnim izdelkom, nedvomno dodatno poslabšal.
The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved.
Interes uvoznikov in uporabnikov
It should be recalled that, in the previous investigations, the adoption of measures was considered not to be against the interest of the Union.
Sodeloval ni noben uvoznik ali uporabnik, čeprav so bili vsi znani uvozniki in uporabniki (več kot 70 družb) obveščeni o začetku postopka in možnosti, da lahko sodelujejo kot zainteresirana stran.
Furthermore, the fact that the present investigation is a review, thus analysing a situation in which anti-dumping measures have already been in place, allows the assessment of any undue negative impact on the parties concerned by the current anti-dumping measures.
Glede na ugotovitve iz prejšnjega pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa se uvozniki oskrbujejo z brezšivnimi cevmi od različnih dobaviteljev iz več različnih držav, zato je vpliv nadaljevanja ukrepov za uvoz iz Rusije in Ukrajine omejen.
On this basis, it was examined whether, despite the conclusions on the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed which would lead to the conclusion that it is not in the Union interest to maintain measures against imports originating in Russia and Ukraine in this particular case.
Takrat je bilo tudi ugotovljeno, da je uvoznikom uspelo ohraniti dobičkonosnost, čeprav ukrepi veljajo že več let.
Interest of the Union industry
Kar zadeva uporabnike, pa se glede na ugotovitve iz prejšnjega pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa in razpoložljive informacije zdi, da je delež brezšivnih cevi pri proizvodnih stroških uporabnikov precej majhen.
With regard to the Union interest, it is clear that, should the measures be repealed, the already fragile economic situation of the Union industry, which currently provides 13000 jobs in the steel sector with regard to the product concerned, would deteriorate further.
Brezšivne cevi so na splošno del večjih projektov (toplotne cevi, plinovodi, zgradbe) in predstavljajo le omejen del teh projektov.
Interest of importers and users
Zato morebiten učinek nadaljevanja ukrepov na uporabnike predvidoma ne bo znaten.
There was no cooperation from importers and users, although all known importers and users (more than 70 companies) were informed about the initiation of the procedure and the possibility to cooperate as an interested party.
Zaradi pomanjkanja sodelovanja zadevnih družb ni preverjenih podatkov in informacij, na podlagi katerih bi bilo mogoče sklepati, da se je splošno stanje spremenilo.
According to the findings of the previous expiry review, the importers source from various suppliers from many different countries and thus the impact of a continuation of measures on imports from Russia and the Ukraine is limited.
Sklep o interesu Unije
It was also found at that time that, even though measures have been in force for several years, the importers managed to remain profitable.
Glede na navedeno se sklene, da ni tehtnih razlogov, ki bi nasprotovali ohranitvi sedanjih protidampinških ukrepov.
With regard to users, on the basis of the findings from the previous expiry review, and information available, it would appear that the share of SPT in their costs of production is quite low.
Po dokončnem razkritju sta dva ruska proizvajalca izvoznika trdila, da bi nadaljevanje uvedenih ukrepov negativno vplivalo na številne potrošnike Unije (uporabnike) in omejilo konkurenco v Uniji.
SPT are in general part of larger projects (boilers, pipelines, construction), of which they form only a limited part.
Zato so zadevne zainteresirane strani Komisijo pozvale, naj prouči podaljšanje ukrepov za obdobje, ki ni daljše od dveh let.
Thus the possible impact of a continuation of measures on users is not expected to be significant.
Komisija je proučila predlog omejenega podaljšanja ukrepov v interesu Unije.
Due to lack of cooperation of the companies in question there are no verifiable data and information showing that the overall situation has changed.
V zvezi s tem se opozarja, da je proučitev interesov Unije za namene protidampinških preiskav strogo postopkovno dejanje, za katerega sta potrebni uravnoteženost zadevnih interesov, vključno z interesi industrije Unije, uporabnikov in potrošnikov, ter ocena zapletenih pravnih, ekonomskih in političnih dejavnikov.
Conclusion on Union interest
Komisija je opozorila, da je iz ocene interesa Unije, kar zadeva industrijo Unije, razvidno, da bi se že tako nestabilen gospodarski položaj industrije Unije dodatno poslabšal.
Given the above, it is concluded that there are no compelling reasons against the maintenance of the current anti-dumping measures.
Opozorila je tudi, da uvozniki in uporabniki niso sodelovali ter torej niso navedli, da bi podaljšanje sedanjih veljavnih ukrepov nanje negativno vplivalo.
Following the final disclosure, two Russian exporting producers claimed that the continued imposition of measures would negatively impact a number of Union consumers (users) and would limit competition within the Union.
Glede na navedeno ni dokazov, iz katerih bi bilo razvidno, da bi omejitev uporabe ukrepov na dve leti interesu Unije bolj koristila kot uporaba ukrepov za celotno petletno obdobje, določeno v členu 11(2) osnovne uredbe.
Therefore, the interested parties in question invited the Commission to consider extending the measures for a period no longer than two years.
Na podlagi navedenega je Komisija zavrnila argument, ki sta ga predstavila dva ruska proizvajalca izvoznika.
The Commission examined the proposal of limited extension of the measures in the Union interest.
PROTIDAMPINŠKI UKREPI
In this regard, it is recalled that the examination of the Union interest for the purposes of anti-dumping investigations constitutes a strict procedural operation which requires a balancing of the interests concerned, including the interests of the Union industry and users and consumers, and the assessment of complex legal, economic, and political factors.
Iz navedenega sledi, da je v skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe treba ohraniti protidampinške ukrepe, ki se uporabljajo za uvoz brezšivnih cevi s poreklom iz Rusije in Ukrajine.
The Commission recalled that the Union interest assessment as regards the Union industry showed that, should the measures be repealed, the already fragile economic situation of the Union industry would deteriorate further.
Zainteresirane strani so bile obveščene o bistvenih dejstvih in premislekih, na podlagi katerih je Komisija nameravala uvesti zadevne protidampinške ukrepe, dana pa jim je bila tudi možnost, da izrazijo svoje pripombe.
It also recalled that there was no cooperation from importers and users indicating that they would be adversely affected by the extension of the current measures in force.
Komisija ni prejela nobenih pripomb, zaradi katerih bi se spremenili zgornji sklepi.
Accordingly, there is no evidence on record that would show that a limitation of the application of the measures to two years would serve the Union interest to a greater extent than the application of the measures for the full five year period contemplated in Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.
Odbor, ustanovljen s členom 15(1) Uredbe (EU) 2016/1036, ni predložil mnenja –
On that basis, the Commission rejected the argument presented by the two Russian exporting producers.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJO UREDBO:
ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
