Ar na forais sin, maíodh nárbh fhéidir Bio SAP a mhalartú le táirgí SAP eile.
On those grounds, it was claimed that Bio SAP cannot be interchanged with other SAP products.

D’fhíoraigh an Coimisiún roinnt conarthaí soláthar SAP, ina raibh rogha iontu don chustaiméir roghnú idir SAP um rialú bolaidh agus SAP nach rialódh bolaithe gan aon difríocht sa phraghas.
The Commission verified several SAP supply contracts, which contained the option for the customer to choose between odour-control SAP and non-odour-control SAP without any price difference.
#2344511
Ina theannta sin, is féidir SAP a úsáid i gcúrsaí talmhaíochta chun uisce a choinneáil.
In addition, SAP can be used in agriculture for water retention.
#2344512
Tá úsáid SAP i dtáirgí sláintíochta indiúscartha i bhfad níos coitianta ná úsáid SAP i réimsí eile, áfach.
The use of SAP in disposable sanitary products is, however, by far the predominant use compared to other applications.

Ar an tríú dul síos, d’iarr LG Chem go bhfágfaí táirgí orgánacha SAP (‘Bio SAP’ mar a thugtar orthu) amach as raon feidhme an imscrúdaithe, rud atá difriúil le táirgí neamh-bhitheolaíocha SAP toisc go n-úsáidtear bithdhíosal, in ionad amhola, mar amhábhar.
Third, LG Chem requested the exclusion of organic SAP (so-called ‘Bio SAP’) products from the scope of the investigation, which chemically differ from non-bio SAP products because biodiesel, instead of crude oil, is used as raw material.
#2344552
Chumhdaigh an gearán SAP neamh-bhitheolaíoch agus Bio SAP araon, toisc go ndéanann tionscal an Aontais an dá chineál.
The complaint covered both non-bio SAP and Bio SAP, as the Union industry makes both.
#2344554
Níor chruthaigh LG Chem go leordhóthanach go mbeadh margadh ar leithligh ag Bio SAP agus nach mbeadh sé in iomaíocht le SAP arna dhéanamh le hamhola.
LG Chem did not sufficiently substantiate that Bio SAP would have a separate market and would not be in competition with SAP made from crude oil.
#2344555
Iarraidh ar eisiamh le haghaidh SAP tionsclaíoch
Exclusion request for industrial SAP
#2344556
Ar an gceathrú dul síos, d’iarr LG Chem go bhfágfaí táirgí SAP tionsclaíoch amach as raon feidhme an imscrúdaithe agus d’áitigh nárbh fhéidir a mheas gur ionann SAP i gcomhair úsáidí neamhshláintíochta agus SAP i gcomhair úsáidí sláintíochta.
Fourth, LG Chem requested the exclusion of industrial SAP products from the scope of the investigation and argued that SAP for non-hygiene uses cannot be equated to SAP for hygiene uses.
#2344558
Ar na forais sin, maíodh nárbh fhéidir SAP i gcomhair úsáidí sláintíochta a mhalartú le SAP i gcomhair úsáidí tionsclaíocha.
On those grounds, it was claimed that SAP for hygiene uses could not be interchanged with SAP for industrial uses.
#2344572
Maidir le hidirdhealú táirgí SAP ar fhorais a n-úsáidí, bhí na táirgeoirí de chuid an Aontais ar aon fhocal gur cheart SAP atá beartaithe le haghaidh úsáidí sláintíochta a idirdhealú ó SAP le haghaidh úsáidí neamhshláintíochta, toisc go bhféadfadh sé go mbeadh difríochtaí sa phraghas mar thoradh ar úsáidí deiridh.
With regards to the differentiation of SAP products on the grounds of uses, the Union producers concurred in affirming that SAP intended for hygiene uses should be distinguished from SAP for non-hygiene uses, as end-uses might induce differences in prices.
#2344583
Mheas an Coimisiún gur saintréith ghinearálta é an luas ionsúcháin, rud atá éagsúil i ngach SAP.
The Commission considered that the absorption speed is a general characteristic, which differs in all SAP.
#2344584
Dá ndéanfaí idirdhealú idir gach cineál SAP, áfach, chuirfeadh sé cosc ar aon chomparáid idir praghsanna.
To differentiate all kinds of SAP would, however, prevent any comparison of prices.

Níor chuir P&G ná Fater in aghaidh go bhfuil táirgeadh an chineáil SAP seo bunaithe ar na hamhábhair chéanna le SAP eile agus go bhfuil an úsáid i dtáirgí sláinteachais do naíonáin agus do dhaoine fásta in iomaíocht le SAP eile a úsáidtear sna cineálacha céanna táirgí.
P&G and Fater did not dispute that the production of this kind of SAP is based on the same raw materials as other SAP and that the use in baby and adult hygiene products competes with other SAP used in the same kind of products.
#2344615
Ní raibh aon díospóid ann ach oiread go bhfuil a chineál sonrach SAP bunaithe ar na hamhábhair chéanna le SAP eile agus go bhfuil sé in iomaíocht le SAP eile a úsáidtear sna cineálacha céanna táirgí.
It also did not dispute that its specific type of SAP is based on the same raw materials as other SAP and that it competes with other SAP used in the same kind of products.
#2344927
Ós rud é gur léirigh úsáideoirí chomh maith le LG Chem ina n-argóintí maidir le leas an Aontais nach ndeartar an acmhainn uile go huathoibríoch chun gach cineál SAP a tháirgeadh, ní thugtar le fios leis an ró-acmhainn íosta [1 %-2 %] nach bhfuil sé ceaptha do mhargadh an Aontais, ach go gcruthaítear dóthain acmhainneachta chun go mbeadh táirgeadh solúbtha de chineálacha éagsúla SAP in ann coinneáil suas leis an éileamh ar chineálacha éagsúla SAP.
Since users as well LG Chem have pointed out in their arguments regarding the Union interest that not all capacity is automatically designed for the production of each type of SAP, the minimal overcapacity of [1%-2%] is no indication that it is not destined for the Union market, but rather to create enough capacity for a flexible production of different kinds of SAP to keep up with the demand for different kinds of SAP.
#2345077
Sna barúlacha a thug sí tar éis an nochta dheiridh, d’áitigh an Chomhghuaillíocht um Margadh Oscailte agus Iomaíoch SAP (‘Comhghuaillíocht H’) gur mhéadaigh praghsanna SAP ó dheireadh na tréimhse imscrúdaithe.
In its comments after final disclosure, the Coalition for an Open and Competitive SAP market (‘Coalition H’) argued that, since the end of the investigation period, the prices for SAP increased.

Tá sé mar chuid de ghnáthchúrsaí gnó go n-infheistíonn monaróirí SAP i gcineálacha nua SAP a fhorbairt.
It is a part of the normal course of business that SAP manufacturers invest into the development of new kinds of SAP.
#2345283
Infheistíonn LG Chem go tráthrialta i gcineálacha nua SAP a fhorbairt agus chuir sé i dtábhacht an infheistíocht den sóirt sin i gcomhthéacs SAP sonraíochta.
LG Chem also regularly invests in the development of new kinds of SAP and explicitly stressed the importance of such investment in the context of spec-in SAP.
#2345326
I gcás na cuideachta sin, sheas SAP do [5 - 15 %] dá chostas táirgeachta, ach ní raibh ach tríú amháin den SAP sin de thionscnamh soláthairtí ón gCóiré Theas.
For that company SAP represented [5 - 15%] of its cost of production, but only around one third of this SAP originated from South Korean supplies.
#2345333
D’áitigh Procter & Gamble go riabh rochtain ar gach soláthróir SAP, lena n-áirítear soláthróirí ón gCóiré Theas, ríthábhachtach chun straitéis ilsoláthair a choinneáil ar bun, chun cobhsaíocht soláthair a áirithiú go háirithe le haghaidh SAP sonraíochta, nach féidir gach táirgeoir SAP é a tháirgeadh.
Procter & Gamble argued that access to all SAP suppliers, including South Korean suppliers, was vital for maintaining a multiple supply strategy, to ensure supply stability especially for in-spec SAP, which cannot be produced by all SAP producers.
#2345342
Chuir úsáideoir SAP eile, Essity, maíomh cosúil ar aghaidh.
Similar claims were advanced by another SAP user, Essity.
#2345392
Mhaígh sé gur ghlac praghsanna SAP tionchar an bhoilscithe ar chostais tráchtearraí, dáilte, saothair agus fuinnimh ar feadh 2021 agus, mar thoradh air sin, tháinig méadú ar phraghsanna SAP.
It claimed that SAP prices absorbed the impact of inflation on commodity, distribution, labour and energy costs throughout 2021 and, as a result, SAP prices increased.
#2345397
Ina mheasúnú, thug an Coimisiún le fios go dtáirgtear SAP le hairíonna éagsúla agus go roghnaíonn úsáideoirí cineál sonrach SAP a oireann dá dtáirge.
In its assessment the Commission accounted for the fact that SAP is produced with different properties and that users choose a specific kind of SAP that suits their product best.

Thairis sin, ba é conclúid an Choimisiúin go mbíonn úsáideoirí SAP sonraíochta nó SAP comhfhorbartha ag oibriú straitéis ilfhoinsiúcháin le haghaidh cobhsaíocht an tsoláthair fós, lena n-áirítear soláthróirí éagsúla agus suíomhanna táirgeachta éagsúla, lena n-áirítear soláthróirí an Aontais.
Moreover, the Commission concluded that even the users of “spec-in” SAP or “co-developed” SAP still operate a multi-sourcing strategy for supply stability including various different suppliers and different production locations, including Union suppliers.
#2344538
Ar an dara dul síos, d’iarr LG Chem go bhfágfaí táirgí SAP um rialú bolaidh amach as raon feidhme an imscrúdaithe toisc go bhfuil siad éagsúil ó tháirgí SAP eile i dtéarmaí saintréithe teicniúla agus ceimiceacha, próisis mhonaraíochta, costais ghaolmhara agus úsáidí deiridh.
Second, LG Chem requested to exclude odour-control SAP products from the scope of the investigation, as they differ from the other SAP products in terms of technical and chemical characteristics, manufacturing process, associated costs and end-uses.
#2344548
Mhínigh LG Chem freisin go mbaineann próiseas monaraíochta difriúil agus costais ghaolmhara éagsúla le Bio SAP i gcomparáid le táirgí neamh-bhitheolaíocha SAP, rud atá ina chúis le praghas níos costasaí do na custaiméirí deiridh.
LG Chem further explained that Bio SAP present a different manufacturing process and associated costs compared to non-bio SAP products, which result in a more expensive price to the final customers.
#2344550
Thug LG Chem a bharúil chomh maith a dúirt nach soláthraíonn táirgeoirí na Cóiré Theas táirgí Bio SAP do mhargadh an Aontais agus, mar thoradh air sin, níorbh fhéidir le hallmhairí de Bio SAP ón gCóiré Theas díobháil a dhéanamh do thionscal an Aontais.
LG Chem also commented that South Korean producers do not supply Bio SAP products to the Union market and, as a result, imports of South Korean Bio SAP could not have caused injury to the Union industry.
#2344559
Thug LG Chem a bharúil chomh maith a dúirt nach mbaineann allmhairí ón gCóiré Theas de tháirgí SAP tionsclaíoch le margadh nideoige, a léiríonn idir thart ar 1 % agus 3 % de mhargadh foriomlán SAP an Aontais, agus mar thoradh air sin, nárbh fhéidir leo díobháil a dhéanamh do thionscal an Aontais.
LG Chem also commented that South Korean imports of industrial SAP products corresponded to a niche market, representing around 1% to 3% of the total SAP market in the Union, and, as a result, they could not have caused injury to the Union industry.
#2344570
Maidir le háitiú LG Chem i ndáil leis an miondealú PCN mar a luaitear in aithris (76), mhaígh táirgeoirí de chuid an Aontais nach raibh aon pharaiméadar níos ábhartha ná aon cheann eile maidir le hidirdhealú táirgí SAP cé go raibh sé ceart a dhearbhú go bhfuil roinnt paraiméadair éagsúla mar shaintréith ag SAP agus go bhféadfaidís a bheith difriúil ag brath ar riachtanais agus rogha na gcustaiméirí.
With regards to LG Chem’s submission on the PCN breakdown as stated in recital (76), the Union producers claimed that, although it was correct to affirm that SAP was characterised by a number of different parameters that may vary depending on customers’ requirements and preferences, none of the parameters was more relevant than the others in the differentiation of SAP products.
#2344575
Mar achoimre, bhí na táirgeoirí de chuid an Aontais in aghaidh iarraidh LG Chem le haghaidh eisiamh táirgí mar a dtugtar tuairisc air i ranna 2.3.1 agus mhaígh nár léirigh LG Chem difríochtaí substainteacha idir táirgí SAP dá iarradh an t-eisiamh i dtéarmaí saintréithe teicniúla agus fisiceacha, úsáidí, tuiscint na gcustaiméirí nó idirmhalartacht, agus táirgí eile SAP.
To summarize, the Union producers opposed LG Chem’s request for product exclusion as described in sections 2.3.1 and claimed that LG Chem had failed to demonstrate substantive differences between SAP products for which the exclusion was requested in terms of technical and physical characteristics, uses, customers’ perception or interchangeability, and other SAP products.
#2344581
Ina gcuid aighneachtaí, mhínigh an dá úsáideoir gur fhorbair agus gur fheabhsaigh P&G an modh T20 go mór le deich mbliana anuas agus go raibh sé á úsáid ag P&G agus FATER i dtáirgí ‘SAP Glúin 8’ faoi láthair, agus gur dócha go n-athrófaí iad go táirgí ‘SAP Glúin 9’ in 2022.
In their submissions, the two users explained that the T20 method had been developed and significantly improved by P&G in the previous decade, and was currently used by both P&G and FATER in ‘Sap Generation 8’ products, which were likely to transition to ‘SAP Generation 9’ products in 2022.
#2344594
Tar éis an miondealú críochnaitheach PCN a nochtadh, d’iarr dhá úsáideoir, FATER agus P&G, go ndéanfaí na cineálacha táirgí ‘SAP, Glúin 8 & 9’ a eisiamh, mar a thugtar orthu, ar na forais go raibh saintréithe fisiceacha, teicniúla agus ceimiceacha ann nach gceadódh inmhalartacht le cineálacha eile táirgí SAP.
Following the disclosure of the final PCN breakdown, two users, FATER and P&G, requested the exclusion of the so-called ‘SAP Generation 8 & 9’ product types, on the grounds that there were specific physical, technical and chemical characteristics that would not allow the interchangeability with other SAP product types.
#2344595
Go háirithe, mar a thugtar tuairisc air in aithris (84), mhaígh na húsáideoirí go ndéanann modh T20 idirdhealú idir táirgí ‘SAP, Glúin 8 & 9’ agus gach táirge SAP eile ar mhargadh an Aontais.
In particular, as described above in recital (84), the users claimed that the T20 method differentiates ‘SAP Generation 8 & 9’ products from all other SAP products on the Union market.
#2344606
Ar deireadh, mhaígh P&G agus Fater gur chun leasa an Aontais a bheadh sé táirgí a eisiamh ó raon feidhme an imscrúdaithe seo ó Ghlúin SAP 8 & 9, mar sheachnódh sé tionchar díobhálach ar phraghsanna dhifreoirí P&G agus Fater do mhiondíoltóirí agus ag an am céanna ligfeadh sé do na bearta frithdhumpála ar allmhairí táirgí SAP eile fanacht i bhfeidhm.
Finally, P&G and Fater claimed that the exclusion of SAP Generation 8 & 9 products from the scope of this investigation would be in the Union interest, as it would avoid a detrimental impact on the prices of P&G and Fater’s diapers to retailers while allowing the anti-dumping measures on imports of other SAP products to remain in place.
#2344781
Mar atá le feiceáil ón leagan oscailte d’Iarscríbhinn 5-1 ‘Allmhairí SAP go dtí AE’ a ghabhann leis an ngearán, le linn na tréimhse arna breithniú, ba ionann méid na n-onnmhairí SAP chuig AE agus 84 % d’iomlán na n-allmhairí a imréitíodh faoi chód AC 39069090.
As visible from the open version of Annex 5-1 “Imports of SAP to the EU” to the complaint, during the period considered, the volume of SAP exports to the EU corresponded to 84% of the total imports customs cleared under CN code 39069090.
#2345140
Thairis sin, mhaígh an Chomhghuaillíocht úsáideoirí agus LG Chem go raibh an sásra d’fhoirmle praghais a glacadh i gconarthaí soláthair leormhaith le go mbeadh soláthróirí SAP in ann leibhéil bhrabúsachta leordhóthanacha a bhaint amach, ó tharla go raibh gluaiseachtaí aníos agus anuas i gcostais amhábhair léirithe go huathoibríoch i bpraghas deiridh táirgí SAP.
Furthermore, both the Coalition of users and LG Chem claimed that the price formula mechanism adopted in supply contracts was sufficient for SAP suppliers to achieve sufficient profitability levels, since upward and downward movements in raw material costs were automatically reflected in the final price of SAP products.
#2345165
D’áitigh LG Chem freisin go raibh freagracht ar bhrabúsacht tháirgeoirí an Aontais ar mhargadh an Aontais, i gcomhchoibhneas leis an mbrabúsacht ar mhargaí onnmhairiúcháin tháirgeoirí an Aontais, rud a bheadh ina chomhartha breise go raibh eilimintí seachtracha a bhfuil tionchar acu ar na margaí domhanda SAP, eadhon foirmle praghsanna SAP agus srianta costais, freagrach.
LG Chem also argued that the profitability of the Union producers on the Union market correlated with the profitability on the Union producers’ export markets, which would be a further indication that external elements affecting the global SAP markets, namely the SAP price formula and cost constraints, were responsible.
#2345349
Á chur san áireamh nach mbeidh éifeacht thoirmeascach ag an méid dleachtanna beartaithe mar nach bhfuil i gceist le SAP ach [5 % - 15 %] de chostas táirgeachta clúidíní le haghaidh leanaí nó daoine fásta, tháinig an Coimisiún ar an gconclúid maidir le leas na n-úsáideoirí agus rochtain a bheith acu ar gach soláthróir SAP ar fud an domhain, nach bhfuil tosaíocht aige sin ar leas thionscal an Aontais a bheidh le cosaint in aghaidh allmhairí dumpáilte.
Taking into account that the intended amount of duties will not have a prohibitive effect as SAP only represents [5% - 15%] of the cost of production of adult or baby diapers, the Commission concluded that the interest of the users to have access to all worldwide SAP suppliers without duties does not prevail over the interest of the Union Industry to be protected against dumped imports.
#2345354
D’áitigh sé, agus chuir sé fianaise ar fáil, go raibh tionchar córasach ag úsáideoirí SAP ar an slabhra soláthair i margadh an Aontais agus nach raibh siad in ann cáilíocht agus cainníocht SAP atá ag teastáil dá dtáirgeadh a áirithiú.
It argued, and provided evidence, that SAP users systematically experienced supply chain disruptions in the Union market and were not able to secure the quality and quantity of SAP needed for their production.
#2345377
Ina theannta sin, áitíonn an Coimisiún go bhfuil praghas SAP ag méadú, de réir mar atá praghsanna do phróipiléin agus do shóid loiscneach á bpiocadh.Meas an Coimisiún gur chuir úsáideoirí fianaise ar fáil go raibh paindéim COVID-19 agus na ganntanais iompair thar lear mar thoradh ar ghanntanas sealadach i soláthar SAP agus gur tháinig ardú ar phraghsanna dá bharr sin.
Also, LG Chem argues that SAP price are increasing, as prices for propylene and caustic soda are picking up.The Commission considered the fact that users have provided evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting transport shortages overseas have caused a temporary shortage in SAP supply and led to increasing prices.
