Thíolaic roinnt páirtithe iarrataí ar eisiamh táirgí a bhaineann leis na táirgí seo a leanas: ACF a bhfuil tomhsaire faoi bhun 6 mhiocrón acu (“ACF<6”) agus ACF le haghaidh ceallraí gluaisteán leictreach (“ceallra gluaisteáin ACF”).
Several parties submitted product exclusion requests concerning the following products: ACF of gauge below 6 microns (‘ACF<6’) and ACF for electric car batteries (‘car battery ACF’).
Nuair a bhí an Rialachán sealadach foilsithe, chuir roinnt páirtithe iarrataí isteach ar eisiamh táirgí maidir leis na táirgí seo a leanas: ACF a bhfuil tomhsaire faoi bhun 6 mhiocrón acu (“ACF<6”) agus ACF le haghaidh ceallraí gluaisteán leictreach (“ceallra gluaisteáin ACF”).
Following the publication of the provisional Regulation, several parties reiterated their product exclusion requests concerning the following products: ACF of gauge below 6 microns (‘ACF<6’) and ACF for electric car batteries (‘car battery ACF’).
Thíolaic roinnt páirtithe iarrataí ar eisiamh táirgí a bhaineann leis na táirgí seo a leanas: ACF a bhfuil tomhsaire faoi bhun 6 mhiocrón acu (‘ACF< 6’) agus ACF le haghaidh ceallraí gluaisteán leictreach (‘ceallra gluaisteáin ACF’).
Several parties submitted product exclusion requests concerning the following products: ACF of gauge below 6 microns (‘ACF< 6’) and ACF for electric car batteries (‘car battery ACF’).
Ina theannta sin, d’áitigh sé nach raibh ACF-30-60 san iomaíocht agus nach raibh sé inmhalartaithe leis an táirge atá faoi imscrúdú mar, murab ionann agus ceannaitheoirí AFRPanna, tá ceannaitheoirí ACF-30-60 gníomhach sna tionscail bhia nó chógaisíochta agus díoltar ACF-30-60 ar phraghsanna níos airde.
In addition, it argued that ACF-30-60 did not compete and was not interchangeable with the product concerned as, unlike buyers of AFRPs, buyers of ACF-30-60 are active in the food or pharmaceutical industries and ACF-30-60 are sold at higher prices.

Mar sin féin, fiú don úsáideoir sin, níl in ACF<6 agus cuid an-bheag dá thomhaltas ACF.
However, even for this user ACF<6 represents a very small part of its ACF consumption.
Níor shonraigh úsáideoirí eile ach iarratais óna gcustaiméirí féin ar tháirgí a raibh ACF<6 iontu, a spreag orduithe trialach le haghaidh thionscal ACF an Aontais agus táirgeoirí Síneacha tar éis IP.
Other users only indicated requests from their respective customers for products that included ACF<6, which have triggered trial orders both to the Union ACF industry and to Chinese producers post IP.
ACF do cheallraí gluaisteán
ACF for car batteries
Léiríodh san anailís gur ACF é go teicniúil é ACF do cheallraí gluaisteán leictreach atá á chur san áireamh i raon feidhme sainithe an imscrúdaithe.
The analysis has shown that ACF for electric car batteries is technically ACF included in the defined scope of the investigation.
Le linn an imscrúdaithe, dearbhaíodh go bhfuair na táirgeoirí ACF fóirdheontais ón rialtas.
During the investigation, it was established that the ACF producers received subsidies from the government.
Meabhraíonn an Coimisiún go bhfuil gá le raon ionchur chun ACF a tháirgeadh.
The Commission recalls that in order to produce ACF products, a range of inputs are needed.
Is éard is easbhrúnna alúmanaim ann táirgí a bhfuil comhdhéanamh bunábhair acu atá cosúil le ACF.
Aluminium extrusions are products having similar source material composition as ACF.
Mhaígh Zhongji freisin nach raibh brabúsacht Asaș Aluminyum míréasúnta do thionscal ACF.
Zhongji further submitted that the profitability of Asaș Aluminyum was not unreasonable for the ACF industry.

Ina theannta sin, rinne roinnt cuideachtaí infheistíocht in R&D chun ACF níos tanaí agus ACF le haghaidh tháirgeacht ceallraí gluaisteán leictreach a tháirgeadh.
Furthermore, several companies invested into R&D to produce thinner ACF and ACF for electric car battery production.
I gcás fhormhór na n-úsáideoirí comhoibríocha, is é a bhí i méid ACF ó Dhaon-Phoblacht na Síne méid idir náid agus 7 % de chostais táirgeachta na dtáirgí a d’úsáid ACF.
For most of the cooperating users, ACF from the PRC represented between zero and 7 % of the costs of production of the products that consumed ACF.
Thairis sin, tá acmhainneacht shuntasach spártha ACF ar fáil san Aontas.
Moreover, there is significant spare ACF capacity available in the EU.
Dá bhrí sin, dhiúltaigh an Coimisiún do na hiarratais ar ACF a eisiamh le haghaidh ACF<6 agus ar ACF do chadhnraí carranna leictreacha ó raon feidhme táirge an táirge atá faoi imscrúdú.
The Commission therefore rejected the requests for exclusion of ACF for ACF<6 and for ACF for electric car batteries from the product scope of the product under investigation.
Ós rud é go n-ordaítear ACF do shonraíochtaí gach custaiméara, ní neamhghnách go n-iarrfadh custaiméir nua le haghaidh ACF<6 (nó tomhsairí ACF eile) rolla samplach chun a chuid tástálacha féin a reáchtáil.
As ACF is ordered to the specifications of each customer, it is not unusual that a new customer for ACF<6 (or other ACF gauges) requests a test coil in order to run its own tests.
Tosca táirgeachta ACF
Factors of production of ACF
Dhéanfadh sin difear don anailís ar thomhaltas ACF an Aontais, ar mhéid na n-allmhairí ó PRC, ar mhéid táirgeachta ACF, ar acmhainn táirgeachta ACF, ar mhéid iomlán na ndíolachán ar mhargadh an Aontais, ar dhíolacháin an mhargaidh faoi chuing, ar dhíolacháin saormhargaidh, ar leibhéil stoic tháirgeoirí an Aontais, ar mhéid na n-allmhairí ó thríú tíortha eile agus ar mhéid onnmhairiúcháin tháirgeoirí an Aontais.
According to Manreal, this would affect the analysis of the Union consumption of ACF, the volume of imports from PRC, the ACF production volume, the ACF production capacity, the total sales volume on the Union market, the captive market sales, the free market sales, stock levels of Union producers, the volume of imports from other third countries and the export volume of Union producers.
Easpa infheistíochta ó thionscal an Aontais is cúis leis an difríocht sa cháilíocht idir ACF na Síne agus ACF a tháirgtear san Aontas.
The difference in quality between Chinese ACF and ACF produced in the Union is caused by a lack of investment from the Union industry.
Is é a leanann as na sonraí go bhfuil dhá úsáideoir ann a cheannaíonn céatadán ard dá ACF ón tSín agus go bhfuil ACF ón tSín ina leith ina chuid an-ard dá gcostais amhábhar ach go gceannaíonn na húsáideoirí eile ACF ó tháirgeoirí an Aontais den chuid is mó agus ní dhéanfaidh na bearta difear don chuid is mó dóibh.
From the data it follows that there are two users, which purchase a high percentage of their ACF from China and for whom ACF from China represents a very high part of their raw material costs but the other users mainly purchase ACF from Union producers and would not be affected in the same way by the measures.
D’athdhearbhaigh an cuibhreannas freisin nach féidir le tionscal an Aontais na caighdeáin cháilíochta le haghaidh tomhsaire tanaí ACF a chomhlíonadh ó thaobh tréscaoilteacht agus inoscailteacht de, agus chuir sé i bhfios go láidir gurb ionann na muilte rollta a tháirgeann ACF agus na caighdeáin cháilíochta do thionscal na gcadhnraí gluaisteán, rud a laghdóidh a thuilleadh cumas ACF.
The consortium also reiterated that the Union industry cannot meet the quality standards for thin gauge ACF in terms of porosity and runnability and stressed that the rolling mills producing the ACF are the same as for the car battery industry, further reducing the capacity for ACF.
Sin é is cúis leis an scrogall atá i dtáirgeadh ACF<6 sa chéim rollach deiridh.
Consequently the bottleneck for the production of ACF<6 is in the last rolling step.
Ina theannta sin, d'áitigh úsáideoir amháin (Gascogne) go mbeadh contrárthacht i dtorthaí sealadacha an Choimisiúin maidir le díolacháin ACF<6 mar chinn an Coimisiún nach raibh aon cheann de tháirgeoirí an Aontais ag margú ACF<6 go gníomhach faoi láthair, agus, ag an am céanna, d'fhéadfadh an Coimisiún “díolacháin ACF faoi bhun 6 mhiocrón de tháirgeoirí éagsúla de chuid an Aontais i gcainníochtaí táirgthe tráchtála a dheimhniú, fiú i scála teoranta, thar thréimhse 10 mbliana roimh an IP”.
Further, one user (Gascogne) argued that there would be a contradiction in the provisional findings of the Commission regarding sales of ACF<6 as the Commission found that none of the Union producers were currently actively marketing ACF<6, while, at the same time, the Commission 'could confirm sales of ACF below 6 micron of various Union producers in commercial production quantities, even if in a limited scale, over a period of ten years prior to the IP'.
Dúirt Rialtas na Síne freisin nach dtagraíonn na Pleananna Cúig Bliana go sonrach do ACF.
The GOC also stated that the Five Year Plans do not specifically refer to ACF.

Mar sin féin, fiú don úsáideoir sin, níl in ACF< 6 agus cuid an-bheag dá thomhaltas ACF.
However, even for this user ACF< 6 represents a very small part of its ACF consumption.
Mheabhraigh an Coimisiún freisin acmhainneacht táirgeoirí de chuid an Aontais ACF< 6 a mhonarú.
The Commission also recalled the capability of the Union producers to manufacture ACF< 6.
ACF do cheallraí gluaisteán
ACF for car batteries
Léiríodh san anailís gur ACF é go teicniúil é ACF do cheallraí gluaisteán leictreach atá á chur san áireamh i raon feidhme sainithe an imscrúdaithe.
The analysis has shown that ACF for electric car batteries is technically ACF included in the defined scope of the investigation.
Tá ACF mar chuid d’ábhair nua a thagann faoi thosaíochtaí forbartha na hearnála seo.
ACF as part of new materials fall under the development priorities of this sector.
Ar an mbonn sin, ceanglaítear ar bhainc tacaíocht chreidmheasa a chur ar fáil don tionscal ACF.
On this basis, banks are required to provide credit support to the ACF industry.
De réir an bheartais thionsclaíoch sin, tá tionscal ACF liostaithe mar thionscal atáthar a spreagadh.
Within this industrial policy, the ACF industry is listed as an encouraged industry.
Sa ghearán, chuir na gearánaigh fianaise ar fáil go bhfeidhmíonn táirgeoirí ACF Síneacha i dtionscal spreagtha agus go bhfuil sé réasúnta teacht ar an gconclúid go dtéann na fóirdheontais a soláthraíodh do tháirgeoirí alúmanaim phríomhúil a mbaintear úsáid as i dtáirgeadh ACF chun tairbhe tháirgeoirí ACF sa deireadh thiar.
In the complaint, the complainants provided evidence that Chinese ACF producers operate in an encouraged industry and that it is reasonable to conclude that the subsidies provided to producers of primary aluminium used in the production of ACF ultimately benefit ACF producers.
Ina theannta sin, rinne roinnt cuideachtaí infheistíocht in R&D chun ACF níos tanaí agus ACF le haghaidh tháirgeacht ceallraí gluaisteán leictreach a tháirgeadh.
Furthermore, several companies invested into R & D to produce thinner ACF and ACF for electric car battery production.
I gcás fhormhór na n-úsáideoirí comhoibríocha, is é a bhí i méid ACF ó Dhaon-Phoblacht na Síne méid idir náid agus 7 % de chostais táirgeachta na dtáirgí a d’úsáid ACF.

Thairis sin, tá acmhainneacht shuntasach spártha ACF ar fáil san Aontas.
Moreover, there is significant spare ACF capacity available in the EU.
Go deimhin, in éagmais beart is féidir leo ACF dumpáilte a cheannach, cé nach mbainfeadh úsáideoirí comhtháite a tháirgeann ACF san Aontas tairbhe as an mbuntáiste éagórach sin.
Indeed, in the absence of measures they can purchase dumped ACF, whereas integrated users producing ACF in the Union would not benefit from this unfair advantage.
Is é a leanann as na sonraí go bhfuil dhá úsáideoir ann a cheannaíonn céatadán ard dá ACF ón tSín agus go bhfuil ACF ón tSín ina leith ina chuid an-ard dá gcostais amhábhar ach go gceannaíonn na húsáideoirí eile ACF ó tháirgeoirí an Aontais den chuid is mó agus ní dhéanfaidh na bearta difear don chuid is mó dóibh.

D’athdhearbhaigh an cuibhreannas freisin nach féidir le tionscal an Aontais na caighdeáin cháilíochta le haghaidh tomhsaire tanaí ACF a chomhlíonadh ó thaobh póiriúlacht agus inoscailteacht de, agus chuir sé i bhfios go láidir gurb ionann na muilte rollta a tháirgeann ACF agus na caighdeáin cháilíochta do thionscal na gcadhnraí gluaisteán, rud a laghdóidh a thuilleadh cumas ACF.

Sin é is cúis leis an scrogall atá i dtáirgeadh ACF< 6 sa chéim rollach deiridh.
Consequently the bottleneck for the production of ACF< 6 is in the last rolling step.
Tá ACF san áireamh faoi ábhair nua.
ACF is included under new materials.
[83] Féach Rialachán cur chun feidhme (AE) 2021/2287 ón gCoimisiún , ACF, aithris 544.
[83] Commission implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2287, ACF, recital 544.
Ina gcuid barúlacha ar thionscnamh, bhí barúlacha ag páirtithe leasmhara éagsúla a bhain le hiarrataí eisiata le haghaidh ACF le tomhas faoi bhun 6 mhiocrón agus le haghaidh ACF a úsáidtear i scragall ceallraí carranna.
In their comments on initiation various interested parties included comments related to exclusion requests for ACF with a gauge below 6 microns and for ACF used for electric car batteries.
D’iarr an Coimisiún ar na naoi n-úsáideoir go léir a chomhoibríonn leis an imscrúdú an t-éileamh atá acu ar ACF<6 agus na hacmhainní ACF atá acu faoi láthair a shonrú.
The Commission has requested all nine users that cooperate with the investigation to specify their current demand for and sources of ACF<6.
Cé gur léiríodh i suirbhé nach bhfuil aon táirgeoir de chuid an Aontais, cé is moite de chaibidlíochtaí díreacha, ag margú ACF<6 go gníomhach i láthair na huaire, bhailigh an Coimisiún neart faisnéise go bhfuil táirgeoirí de chuid an Aontais in ann ACF<6 a tháirgeadh.
While a survey amongst the Union producers has shown that, apart from direct negotiations, none of them currently actively markets ACF<6, the Commission has collected ample evidence that the Union producers are capable to produce ACF<6.
Ar an dara dul síos, bíonn dath liath/geal ar an dromchla mar thoradh ar dhá shraith ACF a rolladh le chéile sa mhuileann rollta deireanach, áit a dtagann dath liath ar thaobhanna ACF atá os comhair a chéile le linn an rollta.
Second, the bright/dull surface is a consequence of rolling two layers of ACF together in the last rolling mill, where the sides of ACF facing each other during the rolling turn out dull.
Ina theannta sin, tá an argóint contrártha leis an maíomh a rinne Walki a bhain le ACF<6 a eisiamh, go bhféadfadh tionscal an Aontais a aird a dhíriú a oiread sin ar scragall alúmanaim gluaisteán go bhféadfadh sé nach mbeadh suim ag an tionscal acmhainneacht táirgeachta leordhóthanach a thabhairt do ACF<6.
Furthermore, the argument runs counter to the claim made by Walki related to the exclusion of ACF<6, that the Union industry might focus so much on car battery foil that they would potentially not be interested in dedicating sufficient production capacity to ACF<6.
