Thairis sin, mhaígh Copa-Cogeca go bhfuil easpa iomaíochta ar mhargadh an Aontais.
Furthermore, Copa-Cogeca claimed that there is a lack of competition on the Union market.
#2417818
Go deimhin, ghlac Copa-Cogeca go bhfuil díobháil á déanamh do thionscal an Aontais in 2022.
Indeed, Copa-Cogeca acknowledged that the Union industry is suffering injury in 2022.
#2417760
Tar éis an nochta, le linn éisteachta, luaigh Copa-Cogeca gur cheart don Choimisiún, i gcás a mheasúnaithe ar an dóchúlacht do dtarlódh an díobháil arís, anailís a dhéanamh ar dhíolacháin agus brabúsacht thionscal an Aontais i ndiaidh na chéad aighneachta a rinne Copa-Cogeca, i.e. ó mhí Iúil 2021 ar aghaidh.
Following disclosure, during a hearing, Copa-Cogeca commented that, for its assessment of likelihood of resumption of injury, the Commission should analyse the sales and profitability of the Union industry after the initial submission of Copa-Cogeca, i.e. from July 2021 onwards.
#2417662
Tar éis na n-aighneachtaí sin, tugadh an deis do Copa-Cogeca (lena n-áirítear cuid de na hargóintí a d’ardaigh AGPB) agus do thionscal an Aontais barúlacha a thabhairt.
Following these submissions, Copa-Cogeca (incorporating some of the arguments raised by AGPB) and the Union industry were given the possibility to provide comments.
#2417665
An 20 Iúil 2022, chuir an Coimisiún a thorthaí in iúl do AGBP, Interore, Copa-Cogeca agus Fertilizers Europe.
On 20 July 2022, the Commission disclosed its findings to AGBP, Interore, Copa-Cogeca and Fertilizers Europe.
#2417678
Tháinig laghdú freisin ar sciar margaidh na n-allmhairí ó 43 % go 19 %, bunaithe ar an toimhde gur fhan an t-éileamh san Aontas cobhsaí, mar a chuir Copa-Cogeca in iúl.
The market share of imports also decreased from 43 % to 19 %, based on the assumption that demand in the Union remained stable, as provided by Copa-Cogeca.
#2417709
Maidir leis na sonraí do 2022, mar a chuir Copa-Cogeca ar fáil ina mbarúlacha faoin nochtadh, is cosúil gur ghearr tionscal an Aontais siar go mór ar a chuid táirgthe.
As to the data for 2022, as provided by Copa-Cogeca in their comments on disclosure, the Union industry appears to have dramatically cut their production.
#2417742
Ós rud é nár thug Copa-Cogeca aon fhianaise chun tacú leis an easpa iomaíochta, diúltaíodh don mhaíomh sin.
As Copa-Cogeca did not bring any evidence supporting the lack of competition, this claim was rejected.
#2417757
Sna barúlacha uaidh maidir le nochtadh, luaigh Copa-Cogeca féin nach raibh praghsanna UAN i mí Mheán Fómhair 2022 in ann costas an gháis a theastaíonn chun UAN a tháirgeadh a chumhdach.
In their comments on disclosure Copa-Cogeca itself noted that the prices of UAN in September 2022 were unable to cover the cost of gas that is required to produce UAN.
#2417763
An fhaisnéis a chuir Copa-Cogeca ar fáil ar dtús, measadh go raibh sí as dáta agus go raibh faisnéis bhreise riachtanach.
The information initially provided by Copa-Cogeca was therefore considered to be outdated and additional information was deemed to be necessary.
#2417765
Ina theannta sin, le linn éisteachta, mhaígh Copa-Cogeca go raibh easpa trédhearcachta agus ionadaíochta ag baint leis na sonraí brabúsachta a chuir tionscal an Aontais ar fáil.
In addition, during a hearing, Copa-Cogeca claimed a lack of transparency and representativeness of the profitability data provided by the Union industry.
#2417769
Thairis sin, mar a luaitear in aithrisí (32) agus (35) thuas, is cosúil nach bhfuil Copa-Cogeca féin ag cur ina choinne go bhfuil díobháil ábhartha á déanamh do thionscal an Aontais.
Moreover, as noted in recitals (32) and (35) above, Copa-Cogeca itself does not seem to contest that the Union industry is suffering material injury.
#2417770
Tar éis an nochta, mhaígh Copa-Cogeca go mbeadh sé i gcoinne leas an Aontais leanúint de na bearta agus go mbeadh tionchar diúltach aige sin ar tháirgeadh bia san Aontas.
Following disclosure, Copa-Cogeca claimed that the continuation of measures would be against the Union interest and would have a negative effect on the food production in the Union.

Treoir (AE) 2017/159 ón gComhairle an 19 Nollaig 2016 lena gcuirtear chun feidhme an Comhaontú i dtaca le cur chun feidhme Choinbhinsiún 2007 na hEagraíochta Idirnáisiúnta Saothair maidir le hObair san Iascaireacht, a tugadh i gcrích an 21 Bealtaine 2012 idir an Coiste Ginearálta um Chomhar Talmhaíochta san Aontas Eorpach (Cogeca), Cónaidhm Oibrithe Iompair na hEorpa (ETF) agus Comhlachas Eagraíochtaí Náisiúnta na bhFiontar Iascaireachta san Aontas Eorpach (Europêche) (IO L 25, 31.1.2017, lch. 12).

I mí na Bealtaine 2021, Copa-Cogeca (“an t-iarratasóir”), ar comhlachas úsáideoirí an táirge lena mbaineann é, chuir sé faisnéis isteach a bhain le hathrú sealadach a líomhain sé gur tháinig ar dhálaí an mhargaidh tar éis fhorchur na mbeart cinntitheach.
In May 2021, Copa-Cogeca (‘the applicant’), an association of users of the product concerned, submitted information relating to an alleged temporary change of market conditions which occurred after the imposition of the definitive measures.
#2417661
An 16 Samhain 2021, agus i bhfianaise na fianaise a bhí ar fáil, chinn an Coimisiún a iarraidh ar AGBP, Copa-Cogeca agus Fertilizers Europe faisnéis bhreise a chur ar fáil a bhaineann le tréimhse tar éis na tréimhse imscrúdúcháin bunaidh agus, go sonrach, faisnéis faoi phraghsanna, éileamh an Aontais agus feidhmíocht thionscal an Aontais le linn an tríú ráithe de 2021 chun scrúdú agus measúnú a dhéanamh ar thionchar na n-athruithe líomhnaithe ar dhálaí mhargadh an Aontais, más ann do thionchar, agus ar an dóchúlacht go dtosódh an díobháil arís mar thoradh ar an bhfionraí.
On 16 November 2021, and in view of the evidence available, the Commission decided to request AGBP, Copa-Cogeca and Fertilizers Europe to provide additional information pertaining to a period after the original investigation period and, more specifically, information about prices, Union demand and performance of the Union industry during the third quarter of 2021 in order to examine and assess the impact, if any, of the alleged changed circumstances on the Union market and whether injury would be unlikely to resume as a result of the suspension.
#2417739
Tar éis an nochta, mhaígh Interore agus Copa-Cogeca arís, mar gheall ar phraghsanna gáis arda san Aontas, nár mhéadaigh tionscal an Aontais a tháirgeacht chun dul in ionad na n-allmhairí agus, dá bhrí sin, go raibh na hallmhairí ó SAM agus ó Oileán na Tríonóide agus Tobága fós ag teastáil ó úsáideoirí UAN.
Following disclosure, Interore and Copa-Cogeca repeated their claim that because of the high gas prices in the Union, the Union industry did not increase its production to replace the imports and therefore the users of UAN needed the imports from the US and Trinidad and Tobago.
#2417750
Cé gur glacadh leis san ionsamhlúchán go mbeadh táirgeacht agus díolacháin thionscal an Aontais cobhsaí, dá gclisfí táirgeacht agus díolacháin thionscal an Aontais in 2022, mar a chuir Copa-Cogeca in iúl, dhéanfadh sé sin staid thionscal an Aontais níos measa.
Whilst the simulation presupposed steady production and sales of the Union industry, a collapse of the production and sales of the Union industry in 2022, as presented by Copa-Cogeca, would only aggravate the situation of the Union industry.
#2417762
Bhí margadh UAN an Aontais an-luaineach sa tréimhse tar éis do Copa-Cogeca a chéad aighneacht a dhéanamh, rud a dhéanann difear don mheasúnú ar dhálaí an mhargaidh agus ar an dóchúlacht go dtosófaí an díobháil arís.
The Union market of UAN has shown to be very volatile in the period after the initial submission of Copa-Cogeca, affecting the assessment of the changed market conditions and the likelihood of resumption of injury.
#2417772
I bhfianaise staid thionscal an Aontais i mí Mheán Fómhair 2022, mar a d’aithin Copa-Cogeca ina mbarúlacha maidir leis an nochtadh a bhfuil achoimre orthu in aithrisí (32) and (35) above, lean tionscal an Aontais de bheith ag tabhú caillteanas airgeadais agus, dá bhrí sin, ba dhócha go rachadh an díobháil in olcas i gcás ina gcuirfí na bearta ar fionraí, agus ó tharla sin amhlaidh níor comhlíonadh na coinníollacha maidir le fionraí, agus níor mheas an Coimisiún gur ghá meastóireacht a dhéanamh ar leas an Aontais faoi Airteagal 14(4) den bhun-Rialachán.
Given the situation of the Union industry in September of 2022, as acknowledged by Copa-Cogeca in their comments on disclosure summarised in recitals (32) and (35) above, the Union industry continued incurring financial losses and thus injury would be likely to aggravate in case measures would be suspended, the conditions for suspension were not met, and the Commission did not consider it necessary to evaluate the Union interest under Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation.
#2417773
Líomhain Copa-Cogeca nach bhfuil gá le bearta cosanta ós rud é nach bhfuil tionscal an Aontais in ann aon UAN a tháirgeadh faoi láthair toisc go bhfuil an praghas gáis i bhfad níos airde ná praghas UAN agus dá bhrí sin tá laghdú suntasach tagtha ar aschur UAN san Aontas.
Copa-Cogeca alleged that protective measures are unnecessary given that the Union industry is not in the position to produce any UAN currently as the gas price is much higher than the UAN price and consequently the UAN output in the Union has dropped considerably.
#2417774
Mar sin féin, thug an Coimisiún dá aire gur sholáthair Copa-Cogeca sonraí a léiríonn go bhfuil UAN á tháirgeadh fós san Aontas agus go bhfuil díobháil ábhartha á déanamh do thionscal an Aontais.
However, the Commission noted that Copa-Cogeca provided data showing that there is still production of UAN in the Union and that the Union industry is suffering material injury.
#2417804
Sna barúlacha uaidh maidir leis an nochtadh, chuir Copa-Cogeca in iúl gur tháinig méadú os cionn 250 % ar allmhairí sa chéad leath de 2022, i gcomparáid leis an gcéad leath de 2021.
In their comments on the disclosure, Copa-Cogeca pointed out that imports increased in the first half of 2022 by over 250 % when compared to the first half of 2021.
#2417819
Sna barúlacha uaidh maidir le nochtadh, luaigh Copa-Cogeca féin gur “a mhéid a bhaineann sé le tionscal an Aontais, tháinig laghdú mór ar a dhíolachán in 2022” agus “faoi dhálaí an mhargaidh atá ann faoi láthair, níl sé brabúsach gás nádúrtha a phróiseáil ina UAN. Mar sin, luíonn sé le loighic go ndearnadh saoráidí UAN uile san Aontas a chur as feidhm.”
In their comments on disclosure Copa-Cogeca itself notes that ‘[a]s far as the Union industry is concerned […] its sales should have dropped dramatically in 2022’ and that ‘[u]nder current market conditions, it is therefore not profitable to process natural gas into UAN. It is thus logical that almost all EU UAN facilities have been idled.’
