Here, it is recalled that the relevant economic data were collected during the expiry review investigation referred to in recital 2.
Iz pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa je jasno izhajalo: v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov bi se industrija soočila z znatnim povečanjem uvoza iz Kitajske po dampinških cenah.
These findings were based on facts and evidence collected during a more recent period (July 2013 to June 2014), while the findings in the original investigation were based on evidence collected for the period July 2007 to June 2008.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da bi obseg uvoza zaradi nizkih cen lahko dosegel podobno raven, kot je bila ugotovljena v prvotni preiskavi.
The expiry review investigation clearly indicated the following: should measures be repealed, the industry would be faced with a significant increase of imports from China made at dumped prices.
V preiskavi je bilo hkrati ugotovljeno zmanjšanje potrošnje Unije v obravnavanem obdobju za 19 %.
It was established that import volumes, given the low prices, could reach a similar level to the one found during the original investigation.
Dejansko je bilo ugotovljeno, da bi pričakovana raven cen kitajskega uvoza brez protidampinških dajatev verjetno nelojalno nižala cene industrije Unije za približno 40 %.
In parallel, the investigation found a decrease of Union consumption of 19 % during the period considered.
Industrija Unije se ne bi bila sposobna soočiti s povečanjem uvoza po tako nizkih cenah.
Indeed, it was established that the expected price level of Chinese imports without anti-dumping duty would be likely to undercut the Union industry prices by around 40 %.
Stranke bi svoja kratkoročna naročila dejansko lahko preusmerile od proizvajalcev Unije h kitajskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom.
The Union industry would not be able to cope with an increase of such low-priced imports.
To bi pomenilo znatno povečanje tržnega deleža kitajskega uvoza s 6,3 % v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom zaradi izteka ukrepa na 30 %.
Customers would indeed be able to switch their short-term orders easily from the Union producers to the Chinese exporting producers.
Glede na znatno povečanje kitajskih proizvodnih zmogljivosti od prvotne preiskave (60 %) bi kitajski uvoz hitro preplavil trg Unije in pridobil pomemben tržni delež na račun industrije Unije.
This would lead to a significant increase in market share of Chinese imports from 6,3 % during the review investigation period expiry review investigation up to 30 %.
Poleg tega je pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa pokazal znatne proste zmogljivosti na Kitajskem (večje od celotne potrošnje Unije), ki bi se verjetno usmerile na trg Unije, ki je kljub veljavnim ukrepom ostal privlačen za kitajski izvoz.
Given the substantial increase of Chinese production capacity since the original investigation (60 %), Chinese imports would imminently flood the Union market and gain substantial market share at the expense of the Union industry.
Dejansko so bile neizkoriščene zmogljivosti ocenjene na 2 milijona ton v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom, kar je presegalo celotno potrošnjo Unije v istem obdobju.
Moreover, the expiry review investigation revealed significant spare capacity in China (more than the entire Union consumption) that would be likely oriented to the Union market which remained very attractive for Chinese exports despite the measures in force.
Kitajska bi zato lahko znatno povečala svoj obseg izvoza v Unijo.
Indeed, spare capacity was estimated at 2 million tonnes during the review investigation period which exceeded the total Union consumption during the same period.
Ta ugotovitev je podprta z dejstvom, da so bili na nekaterih drugih pomembnih kitajskih izvoznih trgih (na primer Kanada, ZDA, Kolumbija, Mehika in Brazilija) sprejeti ukrepi trgovinske zaščite pred uvozom zadevnega proizvoda iz Kitajske, v nekaterih drugih državah pa so bile v teku preiskave trgovinske zaščite.
Therefore, China would be able to increase significantly its export volumes to the Union.
Ugotovljeno je bilo tudi, da se zaradi upada kitajskega gospodarstva v kombinaciji z visokimi presežnimi zmogljivostmi izvaja močan pritisk na kitajske proizvajalce, naj proizvajajo ob visoki stopnji izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti.
This conclusion is supported by the fact that a number of other important export markets of China (such as Canada, USA, Colombia, Mexico and Brazil) had trade defence measures in please against Chinese imports of the product concerned and in a number of other countries trade defence investigations were on-going.
Kar se tiče verjetnega gibanja cen kitajskega uvoza, kitajske uvozne cene so že tako bile bistveno nižje od prodajnih cen industrije Unije v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom, kljub veljavnim protidampinškim ukrepom.
It was also established that, due to the downturn of the Chinese economy in combination with the high overcapacity, a strong pressure was exerted on the Chinese producers to produce at high capacity utilisation rates.
Brez protidampinških dajatev bi se kitajske uvozne cene predvidoma še dodatno znižale, pri čemer bi se pričakovalo približno 40-odstotno nelojalno nižanje cen.
Regarding the likely price evolution of the Chinese imports, Chinese import prices were already substantially below the Union industry sales prices during the review investigation period, despite the dumping measures in force.
Ta pritisk na cene bi se zaradi hitrega povečanja obsega uvoza iz Kitajske verjetno še okrepil.
Without anti-dumping duties, Chinese import prices were expected to decrease even further and undercutting margins from around 40 % would be expected.
Preiskava v zvezi s pregledom zaradi izteka ukrepa je potrdila, da raven zalog ni bila bistvenega pomena za analizo, ker so proizvajalci Unije proizvajali predvsem na osnovi kratkoročnih naročil strank in so zaloge zato pomenile le neznaten odstotni delež proizvodnje proizvajalcev Unije.
This price pressure would likely be accentuated by the likely imminent surge of Chinese import volumes.
Iz pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa izhaja tudi, da bi negativni učinek na industrijo Unije povzročil preusmeritev strank od proizvodov Unije k poceni kitajskemu uvozu.
The expiry review investigation confirmed that the level of inventories was not of any particular significance for the analysis because the Union producers mainly produced on the basis of short-term orders from customers and the inventories therefore only represented an insignificant percentage of the Union producers' production.
Ker se ne pričakuje povečanje zmogljivosti Unije, bi to povzročilo tudi znatno povečanje tržnega deleža kitajskega uvoza na škodo industrije Unije.
The expiry review also showed that the negative effect on the Union industry would manifest in a shift of customers in the Union to the low-priced Chinese imports.
To bi povzročilo nižjo stopnjo izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti industrije Unije in s tem višje stroške na enoto.
As Union capacity was not expected to increase, this would also lead to a significant gain in market share of Chinese imports to the detriment of the Union industry.
Hkrati bi poceni uvoz pomenil pritisk na cene na trgu Unije, kar bi proizvajalcem Unije preprečilo zvišanje cene in s tem privedlo do upada dobičkonosnosti.
This would result in a lower capacity utilisation rate for the Union industry, thus higher unit costs.
V okviru pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa je bilo torej sklenjeno, da bi razveljavitev ukrepov verjetno povzročila ponovitev nevarnosti škode.
At the same time, the low-priced imports would exert a price pressure on the Union market which would not allow Union producers to raise prices, thus leading to a decrease in profitability.
Te ugotovitve nobena od zainteresiranih strani ni izpodbijala, pa tudi Komisija ni pridobila dokazov, ki bi izpodbijali navedene ugotovitve.
Thus, the expiry review concluded that the repeal of the measures would likely to lead to a recurrence of threat of injury.
Glede na navedeno in ob upoštevanju dejstva, da tudi če se ne upošteva obseg uvoza družbe Hubei, ugotovitve pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa ne bi bile drugačne, je Komisija sklenila, da bi razveljavitev ukrepov imela resen gospodarski učinek na industrijo Unije.
That conclusion was not called into question by any of the interested parties, nor was the Commission able to retrieve evidence that would call those findings into question.
E. SKLEP IN RAZKRITJE
Therefore, and considering that even when disregarding import volumes from Hubei, the findings of the expiry review would not have been different, the Commission concluded that, should the measures be repealed, the economic impact on the Union industry would be severe.
Komisija je zato na splošno in zlasti ob upoštevanju znatnih negativnih učinkov na industrijo Unije v primeru, da se ukrepi razveljavijo, menila, da ne bi bilo primerno, da se razveljavijo veljavni ukrepi proti drugim kitajskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, razen proti družbi Hubei.
E. CONCLUSION AND DISCLOSURE
Komisija je 28. julija 2017 vsem zainteresiranim stranem razkrila bistvena dejstva in premisleke, na podlagi katerih je odločila, da ne razveljavi veljavnih protidampinških ukrepov za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike, razen za družbo Hubei, in jih pozvala, naj v določenem roku predložijo pripombe na te sklepe.
Consequently, on balance and with particular consideration for the significant negative effects for the Union industry should measures be repealed, the Commission considered that it would be inappropriate to repeal the measures in force against other Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei.
F. PRIPOMBE ZAINTERESIRANIH STRANI PO RAZKRITJU
On 28 July 2017 the Commission disclosed to all interested parties the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it decided not to repeal the anti-dumping measures in force for Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei and invited them to comment on these conclusions within a specific time limit.
Po razkritju je Komisija prejela vsebinske pripombe v imenu združenja CISA in štirih proizvajalcev izvoznikov brezšivnih cevi.
F. COMMENTS OF INTERESTED PARTIES AFTER DISCLOSURE
Navedene strani so navedle, da gre pri vprašanju, ki bi ga bilo treba obravnavati, prej za to, ali bi bila razveljavitev veljavnih protidampinških ukrepov zakonita in v skladu z načelom dobrega upravljanja, ne pa, ali bi bila razveljavitev primerna.
Following disclosure, the Commission received substantive comments on behalf of the CISA and four exporting producers of SPT.
V podporo tej trditvi so strani trdile, da sta Sodišče in Splošno sodišče v sodbah Hubei ugotovili, da so bili protidampinški ukrepi sprejeti brez ustrezne ugotovitve škode v smislu člena 3 osnovne uredbe (in člena 3 protidampinškega sporazuma STO), in da so bili prvotni ukrepi zato v celoti pravno napačni.
Those parties submitted that the question to be considered was more whether the repeal of the anti-dumping measures in force would be lawful and consistent with the principle of good administration rather than whether the repeal was appropriate.
S sklicevanjem na sodbo Sodišča v zadevi Clark in Puma so strani trdile, da se za nezakonitost, ugotovljeno v prvotni uredbi, šteje, da vpliva na zakonitost poznejše uredbe o podaljšanju, zato bi se moralo skleniti, da je bila celotna prvotna uredba o brezšivnih ceveh razveljavljena na podlagi iste napake.
To support that claim the parties argued that, in the Hubei judgments, the Court of Justice and the General Court found that anti-dumping measures were adopted without a proper finding of injury within the meaning of Article 3 of the basic Regulation (and Article 3 of the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement) and that therefore the original measures were legally flawed in their entirety.
Iz tega izhaja, da bi Komisija s tem, ko ne bi razveljavila ukrepov glede kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, razen družbe Hubei, ravnala neskladno s členoma 1 ter 3(1) in 3(9) osnovne uredbe, členom VI GATT iz leta 1994 ter členoma 1 in 18.1 protidampinškega sporazuma STO.
By referring to the judgment of the Court of Justice in Clark and Puma, the parties argued that an illegality found in an original regulation is deemed to affect the legality of the subsequent prolonging regulation, so that it should be concluded that the entirety of the original Regulation on SPT was vitiated by the same error.
Iste strani so nadalje trdile, da tudi ne bi bilo v skladu z načelom dobrega upravljanja, da se protidampinški ukrepi ohranijo.
It follows that by not repealing the measures vis-à-vis Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei, the Commission would act inconsistently with Articles 1, 3(1) and 3(9) of the basic Regulation and with Article VI GATT 1994, as well as Articles 1 and 18.1 of the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement.
Poleg tega so navedene strani pojasnile, da niso zahtevale razveljavitve ukrepov z učinkom erga omnes z razširitvijo učinkov sodb Hubei.
The same parties further argued that it would also not be in line with the principle of good administration to maintain the anti-dumping measures.
Temveč so trdile, da je njihova zahteva za razveljavitev ukrepov temeljila na členih 1 ter 3(1) in 3(9) osnovne uredbe, členu VI GATT iz leta 1994 ter členih 1 in 18.1 protidampinškega sporazuma STO, kot je omenjeno v uvodni izjavi 71.
Those parties moreover clarified that they did not request to repeal the measures with erga omnes effect by extension of the effects of the Hubei judgments.
Takšna razveljavitev bi imela ex post učinek, kar bi se pravno razlikovalo od razširitve učinkov sodb Hubei, ki bi imeli retroaktiven učinek.
Rather, they argued that their request to repeal the measures was based on Articles 1, 3(1) and 3(9) of the basic Regulation and with Article VI GATT 1994, and Articles 1 and 18.1 of the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement as mentioned in recital 71.
Nazadnje so navedene strani opozorile, da bi bilo treba kakršne koli negativne učinke razveljavitve ukrepov na položaj industrije Unije obravnavati v okviru nove protidampinške preiskave, ki bi jo bilo treba začeti v skladu s členom 5 osnovne uredbe.
Such repeal would have an ex post effect, which would be legally distinct from the extension of the effects of the Hubei judgments which would have a retroactive effect.
Komisija je navedene trditve zavrnila.
Finally, those parties noted that any negative effects of the repeal of the measures on the situation of the Union industry should be addressed in a new anti-dumping investigation to be initiated in accordance with Article 5 of the basic Regulation.
V zvezi s trditvijo, da ohranitev ukrepov, ki veljajo za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike brezšivnih cevi, razen za družbo Hubei, ne bi bila skladna s členoma 1 ter 3(1) in 3(9) osnovne uredbe, členom VI GATT iz leta 1994 ter členoma 1 in 18.1 protidampinškega sporazuma STO, je Komisija opozorila, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 23, da sta sodbi Hubei omejili razveljavitev prvotne uredbe samo na protidampinške dajatve družbe Hubei.
The Commission rejected those arguments.
Kot je prav tako pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 25, ostaja pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa v zvezi z brezšivnimi cevmi proti Kitajski veljaven v enakem obsegu kot prvotna uredba, in sicer v delu, ki se nanaša na kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike, razen za družbo Hubei.
Regarding the claim that maintaining the measures in force with regard to the Chinese exporting producers of SPT other than Hubei would be inconsistent with Articles 1, 3(1) and 3(9) of the basic Regulation and with Article VI GATT 1994, as well as Articles 1 and 18.1 of the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement, and as mentioned in recital 23 the Commission recalled that the Hubei judgments limited the annulment of the original regulation to the anti-dumping duties imposed on Hubei alone.
Poleg tega je načelo pravne varnosti prav tako ovira pri izpodbijanju dokončnosti aktov institucij Unije, ko rok za vložitev tožbe zoper te akte, ki ga določa člen 263 PDEU, poteče.
As also explained in recital 25, the expiry review investigation concerning the SPT measures against China remained valid to the same extent as the original Regulation, that is, in so far as it applies to the Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei.
To pomeni, da kadar ima stran nedvomno pravico zahtevati razveljavitev ukrepa v neposredni tožbi pred evropskimi sodišči – kot so jo poleg družbe Hubei imeli vsi drugi kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki –, naj to tožbo tudi sproži, saj kasneje to ni več možno.
Moreover, under the principle of legal certainty, the definitive nature of measures adopted by the Union institutions precludes them from being called in question once the time-limit laid down in Article 263 TFEU for bringing an action against those measures has expired.
Iz tega sledi, da ni nobene pravne obveznosti, ki bi izhajala iz osnovne uredbe, GATT iz leta 1994 ali protidampinškega sporazuma STO, za razveljavitev veljavnih ukrepov glede kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, razen družbe Hubei.
So, wherever a party has a clear right to seek the annulment of a measure in a direct action before the European courts – as all other Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei did – that party must either exercise that right or forever hold its peace.
Trditve v zvezi s tem so bile zavrnjene.
It follows that there is no legal obligation stemming from the basic Regulation or GATT 1994 and the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement to repeal the measures in force with regard to Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei.
V zvezi s trditvijo, da Komisija ni ravnala v skladu z načelom dobrega upravljanja, je treba opozoriti, prvič, da v skladu s sodno prakso načelo dobrega upravljanja samo po sebi ne daje pravic posameznikom, razen kadar je izraz posebnih pravic.
The claims in this regard were rejected.
Ker nobena od zainteresiranih strani v zvezi s tem ni mogla dokazati kršitve točno določene pravice, Komisija meni, da sklicevanje na te trditve ni utemeljeno.
Regarding the claim that the Commission did not act in line with the principle of good administration, it is noted, first, that, according to the case-law, the principle of good administration does not, in itself, confer rights upon individuals, except where it constitutes the expression of specific rights.
Drugič, v vsakem primeru pa Komisija meni, da je ravnala v skladu s tem načelom, in sicer s ponovnim začetkom preiskave in izvedbo ocene ustreznosti veljavnih ukrepov v luči sodb Hubei.
Since no interested party was able to raise a violation of a specific right in this regard, the Commission believes the invocation of arguments in that regard is unfounded.
Dejstvo, da se strani ne strinjajo z rezultatom ocene, ne pomeni, da je ta nezakonita ali v nasprotju z načelom dobrega upravljanja.
Second, and in any case, the Commission believes that it acted namely in line with this principle by re-opening the investigation and performing an assessment of the appropriateness of the measures in force in light of the Hubei judgments.
Poleg tega se navaja sklicevanje na uvodno izjavo 27.
The fact that the parties do not agree with the outcome of the assessment does not make it unlawful or against the principle of the good administration.
Nazadnje, kar zadeva možnost industrije Unije, da vloži protidampinško pritožbo v smislu člena 5 osnovne uredbe, je treba opozoriti, da razpoložljivost kakršnih koli pravnih sredstev ne more omajati ocene o neprimernosti morebitne razveljavitve ukrepov, kakor je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 27 do 51.
In addition, reference is made to recital 27.
Zato so bile trditve CISA in štirih proizvajalcev izvoznikov zavrnjene.
Finally, regarding the possibility of the Union industry to lodge an anti-dumping complaint within the meaning of Article 5 of the basic Regulation, it is noted that the availability of any redress does not invalidate the assessment about the inappropriateness of the possible repeal of measures as performed in recitals 27-51.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 67, je Komisija na splošno in ob upoštevanju znatnih negativnih učinkov na industrijo Unije v primeru, da se ukrepi razveljavijo, menila, da ne bi bilo primerno, da se v luči sodb Hubei razveljavijo veljavni ukrepi proti kitajskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom.
Therefore, the claims made by CISA and the four exporting producers in question were rejected.
G. SKLEP
Therefore, and as concluded in recital 67, on balance and taking into consideration the significant negative effects for the Union industry should measures be repealed, the Commission considered that it would not be appropriate to repeal the measures in force against China in light of the Hubei judgments.
Ob upoštevanju zgoraj navedenega nobena od pripomb, ki so jih predložile zainteresirane strani po razkritju z dne 28. julija 2017, ni postavila pod vprašaj pomena ugotovitev Komisije, zato se splošne ugotovitve, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 67, potrdijo.
G. CONCLUSION
H. RAZKRITJE
Considering the above, following the disclosure sent on 28 July 2017 none of the comments provided by the interested parties could call into question the Commission's findings and the overall conclusions as set out in recital 67 are hereby confirmed.
Glede na zgoraj navedene dodatne premisleke, zlasti v uvodnih izjavah 31 do 38 in 39 do 50, se je Komisiji zdelo primerno, da vsem zainteresiranim stranem ponovno razkrije navedena dodatna dejstva in premisleke, na podlagi katerih je odločila, da ne razveljavi veljavnih protidampinških ukrepov za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike, razen za družbo Hubei, in jih pozvala, naj v določenem roku predložijo pripombe na te sklepe.
H. DISCLOSURE
Komisija po dodatnem razkritju od zainteresiranih strani ni prejela nobenih pripomb.
Given the additional considerations outlined above, in particular in recitals 31 to 38 and 39 to 50, the Commission considered it appropriate to re-disclose to all interested parties those additional facts and considerations on the basis of which it decided not to repeal the anti-dumping measures in force for Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei and invited them to comment on these conclusions within a specific time limit.
Odbor, ustanovljen s členom 15(1) Uredbe (EU) 2016/1036, ni predložil mnenja –
No comments were received from the interested parties after the additional disclosure.
