D’iarr EFDA éisteacht a tharla an 9 Márta 2021.
EFDA requested a hearing which took place on 9 March 2021.
#2300028
Fuarthas tuairimí ón ngearánach, táirgeoir samplach easpórtála amháin, CCCME agus EFDA.
Comments were received from the complainant, one sampled exporting producer, the CCCME and EFDA.
#2300042
D’éiligh EFDA nár cheart leibhéal comhair a mheas mar leibhéal íseal toisc:
EFDA claimed that a level of cooperation should not be deemed to be low because:
#2300218
Thacaigh an táirgeoir onnmhairiúcháin sampláilte Ningbo Jinding agus EFDA leis an éileamh seo.
This claim was supported by the sampled exporting producer Ningbo Jinding and EFDA.
#2300772
Ina theannta sin, tugadh síneadh ama eisceachtúil do EFDA agus do CCCME chun tuairimí a thabhairt.
In addition, an exceptional deadline extension to provide comments was granted to EFDA and the CCCME.
#2301160
D’éiligh EFDA nach bhféadfadh na hallmhaireoirí na costais mhéadaithe a chur ar aghaidh chuig a gcustaiméirí.
EFDA also claimed that importers would not be able to pass on the increase of costs to their customers.
#2301205
Dá bhrí sin, ní fhéadfaí glacadh le héilimh EFDA ina leith sin.
Therefore, the claims made by EFDA in this regard could not be accepted.
#2301270
Cuireadh é sin in iúl do EFDA freisin le linn an imscrúdaithe i gcomhfhreagras déthaobhach.
This was also communicated to EFDA during the investigation in a bilateral correspondence.
#2301281
Dá bhrí sin, diúltaíodh d’argóintí EFDA i ndáil leis sin.
The arguments of EFDA in this regard were therefore rejected.
#2301292
Tháinig EFDA ar an gconclúid nár chuir an gearánach aon chruthúnas ar a mhalairt isteach.
EFDA concluded that the complainant had not submitted any proof of the contrary.
#2301351
Tharraing EFDA aird shonrach ar an gcás maidir le ceanglóirí a úsáidtear san earnáil iarnróid.
EFDA raised specifically the case for fasteners used in the railway sector.
#2301368
Chuir EFDA i dtábhacht go n-úsáidtear ceanglóirí in a lán feidhmeanna.
EFDA emphasised that fasteners are used in many different applications.
#2301372
Aithníonn an EFDA an fhíoras sin freisin.
This fact is also recognised by EFDA.
#2301504
Fuair an Coimisiún barúlacha ó EFDA.
The Commission received comments from EFDA.
#2076599
Dhearbhaigh EFDA nár tharla aon stoc-charnadh san Aontas, agus gurb é a mhalairt a bhí ann sa mhéid go raibh deacrachtaí ag roinnt ball de EFDA freastal ar éilimh a gcuid custaiméirí san Aontas mar gheall ar an gcás deacair atá ann maidir leis an soláthar, cás a dtugtar tuairisc bhreise air in aithris (44).
EFDA asserted that there was no stockpiling in the Union, to the contrary EFDA members were in fact having difficulties to meet their customers’ demands in the Union, given the difficult supply situation further described in recital 44.
#2301284
Chun tacú leis an éileamh sin, chuir EFDA liosta ar fáil de tháirgeoirí de chuid an Aontais a líomhnaítear gur cheannaigh siad ceanglóirí caighdeánacha ó dháileoir, comhalta de EFDA agus liosta de tháirgeoirí breise de chuid an Aontais a líomhnaítear a bheith bainteach le dáileoirí san Aontas a allmhairíonn ceanglóirí caighdeánacha ón tSín.
In support of this claim EFDA provided a list of Union producers that allegedly purchased standard fasteners from a distributor, member of EFDA and a list of further Union producers that allegedly are related to distributors in the Union that import standard fasteners from China.
#2301316
Chuir EFDA i gcoinne na hoibleagáide a bhí air faisnéis agus sonraí a bhain le margadh iomlán an Aontais a bhailiú agus bhí an Coimisiún saor chun an fhaisnéis a chuir EFDA ar fáil a fhíorú.
EFDA contested its obligation to collect information and data pertaining to the entire Union market and the Commission was free to verify the information provided by EFDA.
#2076592
Sa deireadh, d’áitigh EFDA nach ndearna allmhairí na Síne ach áit allmhairí ó thríú tíortha eile a ghlacadh.
Finally, EFDA argued that Chinese imports only replaced imports from other third countries.
#2076638
Mhaígh an dá allmhaireoir thuasluaite, EFDA agus CCCME, nach dócha gur bhain díobháil ábhartha do thionscal an Aontais ná go mbeadh allmhairí na Síne ina gcúis leis an díobháil sin.
The two abovementioned importers, EFDA and the CCCME claimed that it is doubtful that the Union industry suffered material injury and that such injury would be caused by the Chinese imports.
#2076652
Thagair EFDA freisin do ghanntanas foriomlán amh-ábhar le haghaidh táirgeoirí ceanglóirí san Aontas, agus don fhíoras nach mbeadh aon fhoinse inmharthana soláthair eile ar fáil seachas an tSín.
EFDA also pointed to an overall shortage of raw materials for fasteners producers in the Union and the fact that no other viable sources of supply than China would be available.
#2076660
Maidir leis na nithe eile a mhaígh EFDA, baineann siad le bailiú cúlghabhálach dleachtanna cinntitheacha agus/nó le forchur beart sealadach.
Regarding the other claims put forward by EFDA, they concern either the retroactive collection of definitive duties and/or the imposition of provisional measures.
#2076713
Luaigh EFDA go gceanglaítear go sonrach in Airteagal 14(5a) den bhun-Rialachán go gcomhlíonfaí coinníollacha Airteagal 10(4)(c) agus (d) den bhun-Rialachán.
EFDA pointed that Article 14(5a) of the basic Regulation specifically requires that the conditions of Article 10(4)(c) and (d) of the basic Regulation are met.
#2299540
Tar éis an nochta dheiridh, d’éiligh CCCME agus EFDA nach ndearna na táirgeoirí sampláilte de chuid an Aontais aon iarraidh chuí i gcomhair anaithnideachta.
Following final disclosure the CCCME and EFDA claimed that no proper request was made by the sampled Union producers for anonymity.
#2299544
D’éiligh EFDA freisin nach raibh EIFI i dteideal iarrataí den sórt sin a chur isteach, iarrataí gur cheart a bheith curtha ar fáil ar bhonn aonair cuideachta.
EFDA also claimed that EIFI was not entitled to submit such requests that should have been provided on a company individual basis.
#2299551
Leis na hathdhearbhuithe a fuarthas ó EFDA agus ó CCCME i ndiaidh an nochta dheiridh, ní rabhthas in ann bagairtí den sórt sin a dhíshamhlú.
The re-assurances received from EFDA and the CCCME following the final disclosure could not dissimulate the existence of such threats.
#2299554
Tar éis an nochta dheiridh, d’athdhearbhaigh CCCME agus EFDA nár leordhóthanach an comhad neamhrúnda in áiteanna agus nár cuireadh achoimrí leordhóthanacha neamhrúnda ar fáil i gcónaí.
Following the final disclosure, the CCCME and EFDA reiterated that the non-confidential file was insufficient in parts and that adequate non confidential summaries were not always provided.
#2299599
Fuair an Coimisiún barúlacha ó CCCME, ó EFDA agus ó tháirgeoirí onnmhairiúcháin amháin Celo Suzhou Precision Fasteners Ltd (“Celo Suzhou”).
The Commission received comments from the CCCME, EFDA and one exporting producer Celo Suzhou Precision Fasteners Ltd (‘Celo Suzhou’).
#2299620
Arna iarraidh sin dóibh, chuir an Coimisiún faisnéis bhreise ar fáil do EFDA agus do CCCME maidir leis an sampla athbhreithnithe lena n-áirítear an tionchar ar ionadaíochas an tsampla.
Upon their request, the Commission provided additional information to EFDA and the CCCME regarding the revised sample including the impact on the representativity of the sample.
#2299641
Tar éis an nochta dheiridh, d’athdhearbhaigh EFDA nach bhféadfadh sé barúlacha fóinteacha a sholáthar maidir le sampla tháirgeoirí an Aontais ós rud é gur coimeádadh céannacht tháirgeoirí an Aontais faoi rún.
Following final disclosure, EFDA reiterated that it could not provide meaningful comments on the Union producers’ sample given that the identity of the Union producers was kept confidential.
#2299651
Ina theannta sin, d’éiligh EFDA gur sholáthair an Coimisiún faisnéis a thagann salach ar líon na dtáirgeoirí sampláilte de chuid an Aontais agus ionadaíocht na dtáirgeoirí sampláilte de chuid an Aontais.
EFDA further claimed that the Commission provided contradicting information regarding the number of Union producers’ sampled and the representativity of the sampled Union producers.
#2299656
Maidir le hionadaíocht an tsampla, dheimhnigh an Coimisiún go raibh na figiúirí ar fad a sholáthair an Coimisiún ceart agus dá bhrí sin go bhfuil éileamh EFDA gan bhunús.
Regarding the representativity of the sample, the Commission confirmed that all figures provided by the Commission were correct and therefore EFDA’s claim is unfounded.
#2299658
Cuireadh an figiúr sin in iúl do EFDA, arna iarraidh sin, roinnt míonna roimh an nochtadh agus dá bhrí sin roimh an méid iomlán táirgeachta san Aontas a chinneadh.
This figure was communicated to EFDA upon request several months prior to disclosure and thus prior to the determination of the total production volume in the Union.
#2299684
D’áitigh EFDA gur cheart dóibh fanacht sa sampla i bhfianaise líon na gcineálacha táirgí arna n-allmhairiú ag na hallmhaireoirí i dtrácht agus na ndeighleog éagsúla arna soláthar san Aontas.
EFDA argued that given the number of product types imported by the importers in question and the various segments supplied in the Union, they should remain in the sample.
#2299806
Thionóil an Coimisiún éisteachtaí le roinnt táirgeoir onnmhairiúcháin, CCCME agus EFDA, chomh maith leis an ngearánach EIFI.
The Commission held hearings with several exporting producers, CCCME and EFDA, as well as the complainant EIFI.
#2299836
Tar éis an nochta dheiridh, chuir EFDA agus CCCME in aghaidh an tsainmhínithe thuas ar cheangail “neamhchaighdeánacha”.
Following final disclosure, EFDA and the CCCME contested the above definition of ‘non-standard’ fasteners.
#2299846
Níl tionscal an Aontais i gcoinne na tuairime sin, de réir mar a mhaíonn EFDA agus CCCME go mícheart.
The Union industry does not oppose to this view, as wrongly claimed by EFDA and the CCCME.
#2300222
D’áitigh EIFI gur léirigh an fhaisnéis agus na hargóintí a thug CCCME agus EFDA chun tosaigh nach tír ionadaíoch oiriúnach í an Téalainn.
EIFI argued that the information and arguments brought forward by the CCCME and EFDA demonstrated that Thailand was not a suitable representative country.
#2300229
D’éiligh CCCME, EFDA agus táirgeoir onnmhairiúcháin sampláilte amháin gurb í an Mhalaeisia an tríú tír ionadaíoch ba chuí, bunaithe ar na hargóintí seo a leanas:
The CCCME, EFDA and one sampled exporting producer claimed that Malaysia was the most appropriate representative third country, based on the following arguments:
#2300248
Mhol EIFI agus EFDA an Téaváin mar thír ionadaíoch oiriúnach, ag áitiú go raibh sé ar cheann de na táirgeoirí is mó de cheanglóirí ar fud an domhain.
EIFI and EFDA proposed Taiwan as a suitable representative country, arguing it was one of the largest producers of fasteners worldwide.
#2300483
D’éiligh EFDA freisin nár tháirg Topy Thailand an táirge atá faoi imscrúdú agus gur cheart, dá bhrí sin, é a eisiamh.
EFDA also claimed that Topy Thailand did not produce the product under investigation and therefore should be excluded.
#2300585
D’éiligh EFDA go mbeadh an ráta d’onnmhaireoirí comhoibritheacha neamhsampáilte ró-ard de shárú ar Airteagal 9(6) den bhun-Rialachán.
EFDA claimed that the rate for non-sampled cooperating exporters would be too high in violation of Article 9(6) of the basic Regulation.
#2300610
Níor thug an EFDA bunús leis an ráiteas nár onnmhairigh na táirgeoirí onnmhairiúcháin neamh-chomhoibríocha an cineál táirge shonraigh sin agus níorbh fhéidir é a fhíorú.
The statement that this specific product type was not exported by the non-cooperating exporting producers was not substantiated by EFDA and could not be verified.
#2300687
Tar éis an nochta deiridh, d’iarr EFDA agus CCCME soiléiriú ar cé acu a úsáideadh sonraí chun méideanna allmhairithe isteach san Aontas a bhunú.
Following final disclosure EFDA and the CCCME requested clarification on which data had been used to establish import volumes to the Union.
#2300706
D’éiligh EFDA agus CCCME nach bhfuil ceanglóirí caighdeánacha inmhalartaithe le ceanglóirí neamhchaighdeánacha agus nach bhfuil siad in iomaíocht lena chéile.
EFDA and the CCCME claimed that standard fasteners are not interchangeable with non-standard fasteners and that they do not compete with each other.
#2300716
Tharraing EFDA aird freisin ar dhifríocht idir “caighdeáin táirgí” agus “caighdeáin chigireachta” agus idir caighdeáin “bunúsacha” táirgí agus caighdeáin táirgí “speisialta”.
EFDA also pointed to a difference between ‘product standards’ and ‘inspection standards’ and between ‘basic’ product standards and ‘special’ product standards.
#2300719
Ar deireadh, thagair EFDA agus CCCME do cheanglais shonracha deimhniúcháin i dtionscail áirithe (go háirithe an tionscal mótarfheithiclí).
Finally, EFDA and the CCCME referred to specific certification requirements in certain industries (mainly the automotive industry).
#2300736
D’éiligh EFDA agus CCCME go raibh tionscal an Aontais faoi réir ceanglais shonracha deimhniúcháin a luaitear in aithris (371), cé nach raibh aon cheanglais den sórt sin ag táirgeoir onnmhairiúcháin na Síne.
EFDA and the CCCME claimed that the Union industry was subject to specific certification requirements mentioned in recital (371), while the Chinese exporting producers typically had no such requirements.
#2300746
Tar éis an nochta deiridh, líomhnaigh EFDA agus CCCME gur trí dháileoirí gaolmhara le húsáideoirí deiridh a rinneadh díolacháin tionscail an Aontais den chuid is mó.
Following final disclosure, EFDA and the CCCME alleged that the Union industry sales were mostly done via related distributors to end users.
#2300757
Tar éis an nochta dheiridh, chuir CCCME agus EFDA in iúl nár nocht an Coimisiún méid táirgthe agus díolacháin tháirgeoirí an Aontais a sholáthair sonraí a áiríodh sna táscairí maicreacnamaíocha.
Following final disclosure, the CCCME and EFDA submitted that the Commission did not disclose production and sales volume of Union producers that provided data included in the macroeconomic indicators.
