| 1. Sodba | 1. The judgments |
| Splošno sodišče Evropske unije (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Splošno sodišče) je v svoji sodbi z dne 4. maja 2022 v združenih zadevah T-30/19 in T-72/19 (1) Združenje gumarske industrije Kitajske (CRIA) in Gospodarska zbornica uvoznikov in izvoznikov kovin, rud in kemikalij Kitajske (CCCMC) proti Komisiji (v nadaljnjem besedilu: sodba) razveljavilo Izvedbeno uredbo Komisije (EU) 2018/1579 z dne 18. oktobra 2018 o uvedbi dokončne protidampinške dajatve in dokončnem pobiranju začasne dajatve, uvedene na uvoz nekaterih novih ali protektiranih pnevmatik iz gume, ki se uporabljajo za avtobuse ali tovornjake, z indeksom obremenitve nad 121, s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske ter o razveljavitvi Izvedbene uredbe (EU) 2018/163 (2) in Izvedbeno uredbo Komisije (EU) 2018/1690 z dne 9. novembra 2018 o uvedbi dokončnih izravnalnih dajatev na uvoz nekaterih novih ali protektiranih pnevmatik iz gume, ki se uporabljajo za avtobuse ali tovornjake, z indeksom obremenitve nad 121, s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske in spremembi Izvedbene uredbe Komisije (EU) 2018/1579 o uvedbi dokončne protidampinške dajatve in dokončnem pobiranju začasne dajatve, uvedene na uvoz nekaterih novih ali protektiranih pnevmatik iz gume, ki se uporabljajo za avtobuse ali tovornjake, z indeksom obremenitve nad 121, s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske ter o razveljavitvi Izvedbene uredbe (EU) 2018/163 (3) (v nadaljnjem besedilu: sporni uredbi). | In its judgments of 4 May 2022, in joined cases T-30/19 and T-72/19 (1), China Rubber Industry Association (CRIA) and China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters (CCCMC) v Commission (‘the judgment’), the General Court of the European Union (‘the General Court’) annulled Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1579 of 18 October 2018 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of certain pneumatic tyres, new or retreaded, of rubber, of a kind used for buses or lorries, with a load index exceeding 121 originating in the People’s Republic of China and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/163 (2), and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1690 of 9 November 2018 imposing definitive countervailing duties on imports of certain pneumatic tyres, new or retreaded, of rubber, of a kind used for buses or lorries and with a load index exceeding 121 originating in the People’s Republic of China and amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1579 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of certain pneumatic tyres, new or retreaded, of rubber, of a kind used for buses or lorries, with a load index exceeding 121 originating in the People’s Republic of China and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/163 (3) (‘the regulations at issue’). |
| CRIA in CCCMC sta predložila več trditev, s katerimi sta izpodbijala sporni uredbi, in Splošno sodišče je odločilo o dveh: (i) o tem, da Komisija pri izračunu stopnje nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen in stopnje škode ni izvedla poštene primerjave cen, in (ii) o nekaterih očitkih, ki se v bistvu nanašajo na nedoslednosti in kršitev pravice do obrambe v zvezi s kazalniki škode in tehtanjem podatkov iz vzorca proizvajalcev Unije. | CRIA and CCCMC raised several claims challenging the regulations at issue and the General Court ruled on two of those: (i) the Commission’s failure to carry out a fair price comparison in the calculation of the price undercutting and of the injury margins, and (ii) certain complaints alleging, in essence, inconsistencies and breach of the rights of the defence regarding injury indicators and the weighting of data from the sample of Union producers. |
| V zvezi z izračunom stopenj nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen je Splošno sodišče ugotovilo, da je Komisija izvedla nepošteno primerjavo, ko je prilagodila izvozno ceno – odbitek PSA-stroškov povezanega uvoznika in nominalni dobiček –, kadar je prodaja potekala prek povezanega trgovca v Uniji. Sodišče je ugotovilo, da so proizvajalci Unije prav tako delno prodajali izdelke prek povezanih subjektov, njihove prodajne cene pa niso bile prilagojene. Splošno sodišče je ugotovilo, da je bilo pri izračunu nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen, ki ga je Komisija opravila v spornih uredbah, pravo napačno uporabljeno in storjena očitna napaka pri presoji ter da sta bila zato pri tem izračunu kršena člen 3(2) in (3) osnovne protidampinške uredbe ter člen 8(1) in (2) osnovne protisubvencijske uredbe. Poleg tega je Splošno sodišče ugotovilo, da so napake vplivale na splošne ugotovitve o škodi in vzročni zvezi ter na stopnje škode in da ni bilo mogoče natančno določiti, v kolikšni meri so sporne dokončne protidampinške in izravnalne dajatve ostale delno utemeljene. Zato sta bili uredbi, s katerima so bile te dajatve naložene tožečim strankam, razglašeni za nični. | Regarding the calculation of the undercutting margins, the General Court found that the Commission conducted an unfair comparison when it made an adjustment to the export price - the deduction of the related importer’s SG&A and a notional profit - when sales were made through a related trader in the Union. The Court noted that Union producers also made some sales via related entities, and their sales prices were not adjusted. The General Court concluded that the calculation of the price undercutting carried out by the Commission in the contested regulations was vitiated by an error of law and a manifest error of assessment and that, as a result, that calculation infringed Article 3(2) and (3) of the basic anti-dumping regulation and Article 8(1) and (2) of the basic anti-subsidy regulation. Furthermore, the General Court found that the errors had an impact on the overall injury and causality findings as well as on the injury margins, and that it was not possible to determine precisely to what extent the definitive anti-dumping and countervailing duties at issue remained well founded in part. Therefore, the regulations imposing those duties upon the applicants were annulled. |
| V zvezi z drugo točko je Splošno sodišče ugotovilo, da Komisija ni opravila objektivne preučitve (kot to zahtevata člen 3(2) osnovne protidampinške uredbe in člen 8(1) osnovne protisubvencijske uredbe), ker ni revidirala izračunov vseh mikroekonomskih kazalnikov z izjemo dobičkonosnosti in ni navedla revidiranih podatkov v spornih uredbah, zato ni uporabila vseh upoštevnih podatkov, ki so ji bili na voljo. Poleg tega je Splošno sodišče ugotovilo kršitev pravice vložnikov do obrambe. Splošno sodišče se zlasti ni strinjalo s tem, da bi se lahko nekatere informacije, ki niso bile razkrite stranem, lahko štele za zaupne, in je ugotovilo, da so vsi sporni podatki „povezani z ugotovitvami dejanskega stanja v sporni uredbi“. Zato so bili to „bistvena dejstva in premisleki“, ki bi jih bilo treba stranem razkriti. | In relation to the second point, the General Court found that the Commission did not carry out an objective examination (as required by Article 3(2) of the basic anti-dumping regulation and Article 8(1) of the basic anti-subsidy regulation) because, by not revising the calculations of all microeconomic indicators, other than profitability, and not setting out the revised figures in the contested regulations, the Commission did not use all relevant data available to it. In addition, the General Court found a breach of the applicants’ right of defence. In particular, the General Court disagreed that some information not disclosed to parties could be considered confidential, and it found that all the data at issue was ‘linked to findings of fact in the contested regulation’. Therefore, they were ‘essential facts and considerations’ that should have been disclosed to parties. |
| Glede na navedeno je Splošno sodišče sporno protidampinško uredbo razglasilo za nično v delu, v katerem se nanaša na družbe, ki jih zastopata CRIA in CCCMC (navedene v spodnji preglednici). | In light of the above, the General Court annulled the anti-dumping regulation at issue insofar as the companies represented by CRIA and CCCMC (listed in the table below) were concerned. |

| 2. Posledice | 2. Consequences |
| Člen 266 PDEU določa, da morajo institucije sprejeti ukrepe, potrebne za izvršitev sodb Sodišča. Če je akt, ki so ga institucije sprejele v okviru upravnega postopka, kot je protidampinška ali protisubvencijska preiskava, razglašen za ničnega, se v skladu s sodbo Splošnega sodišča nični akt zamenja z novim aktom, v katerem je odpravljena nezakonitost, ki jo je ugotovilo Sodišče (7). | Article 266 TFEU provides that the Institutions must take the necessary measures to comply with the Courts’ judgments. In case of annulment of an act adopted by the Institutions in the context of an administrative procedure, such as anti-dumping or anti-subsidy investigations, compliance with the General Court’s judgement consists in the replacement of the annulled act by a new act, in which the illegality identified by the Court is eliminated (7). |
| V skladu s sodno prakso Sodišča se postopek za nadomestitev akta, razglašenega za ničnega, nadaljuje v točki, v kateri je prišlo do nezakonitosti (8). To pomeni zlasti, da v primeru, ko je za ničnega razglašen akt, ki zaključuje upravni postopek, razglasitev ničnosti ne vpliva nujno na pripravljalne akte, kot je začetek protidampinškega postopka. V primeru, ko se na primer uredba o uvedbi dokončnih protidampinških ukrepov razveljavi, to pomeni, da je po razglasitvi ničnosti protidampinški postopek še vedno odprt, saj je bil akt, ki je zaključil protidampinški postopek, odstranjen iz pravnega reda Unije (9), razen če je nezakonitost nastala v fazi začetka postopka. | According to the case-law of the Court of Justice, the procedure for replacing the annulled act may be resumed at the very point at which the illegality occurred (8). That implies in particular that in a situation where an act concluding an administrative procedure is annulled, that annulment does not necessarily affect the preparatory acts, such as the initiation of the anti-dumping procedure. In a situation where for instance a Regulation imposing definitive anti-dumping measures is annulled, that means that subsequent to the annulment, the anti-dumping proceeding is still open, because the act concluding the anti-dumping proceeding has disappeared from the Union legal order (9), except if the illegality occurred at the stage of initiation. |
| Splošno sodišče je v obravnavani zadevi sporno protidampinško in protisubvencijsko uredbo razglasilo za nični iz skupnih razlogov. Prvič, Komisija pri ugotavljanju obstoja znatnega nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen ni opravila poštene primerjave v analizi nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen na isti ravni trgovine. Ta napaka je vplivala tudi na analizo vzročne zveze. Drugič, Komisija ni opravila objektivne preučitve, s čimer je kršila člen 3(2) osnovne protidampinške uredbe in člen 8(1) osnovne protisubvencijske uredbe. Nazadnje je Splošno sodišče ugotovilo, da nekatera „bistvena dejstva in premisleki“ stranem niso bili ustrezno razkriti, s čimer so bile kršene njihove pravice do obrambe. | In the present case, the General Court annulled the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy Regulations at issue for common reasons. First, the Commission failed to make a fair comparison in the price undercutting analysis at the same level of trade when determining the existence of significant undercutting). This error also tainted the causation analysis. Second, the Commission failed to carry out an objective examination, in breach of Article 3(2) of the basic anti-dumping regulation and Article 8(1) of the basic anti-subsidy regulation. Finally, the General Court found that some ‘essential facts and considerations’ were not properly disclosed to parties, breaching their rights of defence. |
| Preostale ugotovitve in sklepi iz spornih uredb, ki niso bili izpodbijani ali so bili izpodbijani, vendar jih Splošno sodišče ni preučilo, ostajajo v veljavi in jih ta ponovni začetek ne zadeva. | The remaining findings and conclusions in the regulations at issue which were not contested, or which were contested but not examined by the General Court remain valid and are not affected by this re-opening. |
| 3. Postopek ponovnega začetka | 3. Re-opening procedure |
| Glede na navedeno se je Komisija odločila, da ponovno začne protidampinško in protisubvencijsko preiskavo uvoza nekaterih pnevmatik iz Ljudske republike Kitajske, na podlagi katerih sta bili sprejeti sporni uredbi, kolikor se nanašata na družbe, navedene v sodbi. Ponovni začetek prvotnih preiskav se nadaljuje na točki, v kateri je prišlo do nepravilnosti. | In view of the above, the Commission decided to re-open the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations on imports of certain pneumatic tyres from People’s Republic of China that led to the adoption of the regulations at issue, insofar as they concern the companies listed in the judgement. The re-opening of the original investigations resumes them at the point at which the irregularity occurred. |
| Namen ponovnega začetka prvotnih preiskav je v celoti obravnavati napake, ki jih je ugotovilo Splošno sodišče, in oceniti, ali bi uporaba pravil, kot jih je pojasnilo Splošno sodišče, lahko upravičila morebitno ponovno uvedbo ukrepov na prvotni ali spremenjeni ravni od datuma prvotnega začetka veljavnosti spornih uredb. | The purpose of the re-opening of the original investigations is to fully address the errors identified by the General Court and to assess whether the application of the rules as clarified by the General Court warrants the re-imposition of the measures at the original or, if any, a revised level as from the date on which the regulations at issue originally entered into force. |
| Zainteresirane strani so obveščene, da bi prihodnja obveznost lahko izhajala iz ugotovitev tega ponovnega pregleda. | Interested parties are hereby informed that future liability may emanate from the findings of this re-examination. |
| 4. Pisne pripombe | 4. Written submissions |
| Vse zainteresirane strani, in zlasti tiste, navedene v sodbi, so pozvane, da izrazijo svoja stališča, predložijo informacije in dokaze o zadevah v zvezi s ponovnim začetkom preiskave.

| 7. Nesodelovanje | 7. Non-cooperation |
| Če katera koli zainteresirana stran zavrne dostop do potrebnih informacij, jih ne predloži v predpisanih rokih ali znatno ovira preiskavo, se lahko v skladu s členom 18 osnovne protidampinške uredbe in členom 28 osnovne protisubvencijske uredbe na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev sprejmejo začasne ali dokončne ugotovitve, in sicer pozitivne ali negativne. | In cases where any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made on the basis of facts available, in accordance with Article 18 of the anti-dumping basic Regulation and Article 28 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation. |
| Če se ugotovi, da je katera koli zainteresirana stran predložila napačne ali zavajajoče informacije, se te morda ne bodo upoštevale, uporabijo pa se lahko razpoložljiva dejstva. | Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information may be disregarded and use may be made of facts available. |
| Če zainteresirana stran ne sodeluje ali pa sodeluje le delno in zato ugotovitve temeljijo na razpoložljivih dejstvih v skladu s členom 18 osnovne protidampinške uredbe in/ali členom 28 osnovne protisubvencijske uredbe, je lahko izid za to zainteresirano stran manj ugoden, kot bi bil, če bi sodelovala. | If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation and/or Article 28 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated. |
| Če se odgovor ne predloži v računalniški obliki, se to ne šteje za nesodelovanje, če zainteresirana stran dokaže, da bi ji predložitev odgovora v zahtevani obliki povzročila nerazumno dodatno obremenitev ali nerazumne dodatne stroške. Zainteresirana stran mora o tem takoj obvestiti Komisijo. | Failure to give a computerised response shall not be deemed to constitute non-cooperation, provided that the interested party shows that presenting the response as requested would result in an unreasonable extra burden or unreasonable additional cost. In this case the interested party should immediately contact the Commission. |
| 8. Pooblaščenec za zaslišanje | 8. Hearing Officer |
| Zainteresirane strani lahko zahtevajo posredovanje pooblaščenca za zaslišanje v trgovinskih postopkih. Pooblaščenec za zaslišanje obravnava zahtevke za dostop do dokumentacije, nestrinjanja z zaupnostjo dokumentov, zahtevke za podaljšanje rokov in vse druge zahtevke v zvezi s pravico do obrambe zainteresiranih strani ter zahtevke tretjih oseb, ki se lahko vložijo med postopkom. | Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer for trade proceedings. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and any other request concerning the rights of defence of interested parties and third parties as may arise during the proceeding. |
| Pooblaščenec za zaslišanje lahko organizira zaslišanje ter nastopi kot posrednik med zainteresirano stranjo ali zainteresiranimi stranmi in službami Komisije, da se v celoti upoštevajo pravice zainteresiranih strani do obrambe. Zahtevek za zaslišanje pri pooblaščencu za zaslišanje je treba vložiti pisno in navesti razloge zanj. Pooblaščenec za zaslišanje preuči razloge za zahtevek. Tako zaslišanje bi se moralo izvesti le, če vprašanja še niso bila pravočasno urejena s službami Komisije. | The Hearing Officer may organise hearings and mediate between the interested party or parties and the Commission services to ensure that the interested parties’ rights of defence are being fully exercised. A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. The Hearing Officer will examine the reasons for the requests. These hearings should only take place if the issues have not been settled with the Commission services in due course. |
| Vsak zahtevek je treba predložiti pravočasno in hitro, da se ne ogrozi pravilno vodenje postopka. V ta namen bi morale zainteresirane strani zaprositi za posredovanje pooblaščenca za zaslišanje v najkrajšem možnem času po nastanku dogodka, ki upravičuje tako posredovanje. Pooblaščenec za zaslišanje preuči tudi razloge za zahtevke za posredovanje, vrsto vprašanj in vpliv, ki ga imajo ta vprašanja na pravico do obrambe, in sicer ob ustreznem upoštevanju interesov dobrega upravljanja in pravočasnega zaključka preiskave. | Any request must be submitted in good time and expeditiously so as not to jeopardise the orderly conduct of proceedings. To that effect, interested parties should request the intervention of the Hearing Officer at the earliest possible time following the occurrence of the event justifying such intervention. The Hearing Officer will examine the reasons for requests for interventions, the nature of the issues raised and the impact of those issues on the rights of defence, having due regard to the interests of good administration and the timely completion of the investigation. |

| Ker je v tej fazi končna obveznost, ki izhaja iz ponovnega pregleda, negotova, Komisija nacionalne carinske organe poziva, naj počakajo na izid te preiskave, preden sprejmejo odločitev o kakršnem koli zahtevku za povračilo v zvezi s protidampinškimi in/ali izravnalnimi dajatvami, ki jih je Splošno sodišče razveljavilo v zvezi z navedenimi družbami. | Since the amount of final liability resulting from the re-examination is uncertain at this stage, the Commission requests national customs authorities to await the outcome of this investigation before deciding on any repayment claim concerning the anti-dumping and/or countervailing duties annulled by the General Court with respect to the those companies. |
| Zato se do zaključka te preiskave protidampinške in izravnalne dajatve, plačane v skladu z Izvedbeno uredbo Komisije (EU) 2018/1579 z dne 18. oktobra 2018 o uvedbi dokončne protidampinške dajatve in dokončnem pobiranju začasne dajatve, uvedene na uvoz nekaterih novih ali protektiranih pnevmatik iz gume, ki se uporabljajo za avtobuse ali tovornjake, z indeksom obremenitve nad 121, s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske ter o razveljavitvi Izvedbene uredbe (EU) 2018/163 oziroma Izvedbeno uredbo Komisije (EU) 2018/1690 z dne 9. novembra 2018 o uvedbi dokončnih izravnalnih dajatev na uvoz nekaterih novih ali protektiranih pnevmatik iz gume, ki se uporabljajo za avtobuse ali tovornjake, z indeksom obremenitve nad 121, s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske in spremembi Izvedbene uredbe Komisije (EU) 2018/1579 o uvedbi dokončne protidampinške dajatve in dokončnem pobiranju začasne dajatve, uvedene na uvoz nekaterih novih ali protektiranih pnevmatik iz gume, ki se uporabljajo za avtobuse ali tovornjake, z indeksom obremenitve nad 121, s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske ter o razveljavitvi Izvedbene uredbe (EU) 2018/163, ki se trenutno uvrščajo pod oznaki KN 4011 20 90 in ex 4012 12 00 (oznaka TARIC 4012120010), s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske, ki jih proizvajajo družbe iz oddelka 1, ne bi smele povrniti ali odpustiti. | Consequently, the anti-dumping and countervailing duties paid respectively under Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1579 of 18 October 2018 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of certain pneumatic tyres, new or retreaded, of rubber, of a kind used for buses or lorries, with a load index exceeding 121 originating in the People’s Republic of China and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/163 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1690 of 9 November 2018 imposing definitive countervailing duties on imports of certain pneumatic tyres, new or retreaded, of rubber, of a kind used for buses or lorries and with a load index exceeding 121 originating in the People’s Republic of China and amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/1579 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of certain pneumatic tyres, new or retreaded, of rubber, of a kind used for buses or lorries, with a load index exceeding 121 originating in the People’s Republic of China and repealing Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/163, currently falling under CN codes 4011 20 90 and ex 4012 12 00 (TARIC code 4012120010), originating in the People’s Republic of China and produced by the companies listed in section 1 above should not be repaid or remitted until the outcome of this investigation. |
