| Announcement on Initiating a Countervailing Duty Investigation into Imports of Distiller's Dried Grains with or without Solubles Originating from the U.S. | | 关于对原产于美国的进口干玉米酒糟进行反补贴立案调查的公告 |
| The Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the "MOFCOM") received on November 19, 2015 a petition formally filed by the China Alcoholic Drinks Association (hereinafter referred to as the "Petitioner") on behalf of China's distiller's dried grains with or without solubles industry for a countervailing duty investigation into imports of distiller's dried grains with or without solubles originating from the U.S. In accordance with Article 16 of the Countervailing Duty Regulations of the People's Republic of China, the MOFCOM issued on December 15, 2015 the U.S. government an invitation for consultations in relation to matters under the countervailing duty investigation, and carried out consultations on December 29 with the U.S. government. On January 4, 2016, the U.S. government submitted written comments on relevant subsidy items. | | 中华人民共和国商务部（以下简称商务部）于2015年11月19日收到中国酒业协会（以下称申请人）代表国内干玉米酒糟产业正式提交的反补贴调查申请，申请人请求对原产于美国的进口干玉米酒糟进行反补贴调查。根据《中华人民共和国反补贴条例》第十六条规定，2015年12月15日，商务部就有关反补贴调查事项向美国政府发出进行磋商的邀请，并于12月29日与美方进行了磋商。2016年1月4日，美方就相关补贴项目提交了书面评论意见。 |
| The MOFCOM has examined, in accordance with relevant provisions of the Countervailing Duty Regulations of the People's Republic of China, the qualification of the Petitioner, product in question, similar products in China, impact of the product in question on domestic industry, and countries (regions) involved. | | 商务部依据《中华人民共和国反补贴条例》有关规定，对申请人的资格、申请调查产品的有关情况、中国同类产品的有关情况、申请调查产品对国内产业的影响、申请调查国家（地区）的有关情况等进行了审查。 |
According to the evidence provided by the Petitioner and the preliminary examination conducted by the MOFCOM, the Petitioner filed such petition as per the resolution and authorization of its members, and the aggregate distiller's dried grains with or without solubles output represented by the Petitioner took up over 50% of the total output of similar products in China in 2012, 2013, 2014 and January to September, 2015, which was in line with the provisions on a petition for a countervailing duty investigation by domestic industry as prescribed in Articles 11 and 13 of the Countervailing Duty Regulations of the People's Republic of China | | 根据申请人提供的证据和商务部的初步审查，申请人依据其会员企业的决议和授权提起申请，申请人代表的干玉米酒糟总产量在2012年、2013年、2014年和2015年1-9月均占同期中国同类产品总产量的50%以上，符合《中华人民共和国反补贴条例》第十一条和第十三条有关国内产业提出反补贴调查申请的规定。 |
| The petition states that the product in question has received subsidies from the U.S. government, and there are 42 items of subsidies that may benefit the industry (enterprises) of distiller's dried grains with or without solubles in the U.S. According to the evidence and information reasonably obtained, the Petitioner made a preliminary estimate of the amount of subsidies for the product in question, and found that the amount was not minor. Meanwhile, the petition states that, as the substantial increase in the quantity of the product in question entering the Chinese market and the overall decline in prices beat down and restrain the prices of similar products in Chinese industry, resulting in ineffective utilization of production capacity of similar products in Chinese industry, substantial rise in inventory, decrease in market share, and continuous negative pre-tax profits and rate of return on investment, there is material injury to the Chinese domestic industry and a causal relationship between subsidies received by the product in question and material injury to the Chinese domestic industry. Upon examination, the MOFCOM believed that the petition provides contents and relative evidence required for initiating a countervailing duty investigation as prescribed in Articles 14 and 15 of the Countervailing Duty Regulations of the People's Republic of China. | | 申请书主张，申请调查产品接受了美国政府的补贴，美国干玉米酒糟产业（企业）可能受益的补贴项目共计42项。申请人依据合理获得的证据和信息，初步估算了申请调查产品的补贴金额，不属于微量补贴。申请书同时主张，申请调查产品进入中国市场数量大幅增长，价格总体下降，对国内产业同类产品价格造成压低和抑制，导致国内产业同类产品的产能无法获得有效利用，库存大幅上升，市场份额下降，税前利润和投资收益率始终处于负值水平，国内产业遭受了实质损害，且申请调查产品所接受的补贴与国内产业实质损害存在因果关系。经审查，商务部认为申请书中包含了《中华人民共和国反补贴条例》第十四条、第十五条规定的反补贴调查立案所要求的内容及有关证据。 |
| According to the above outcome of examination and in accordance with Article 16 of the Countervailing Duty Regulations of the People's Republic of China, the MOFCOM decided on January 12, 2016 to initiate a countervailing duty investigation into imports of distiller's dried grains with or without solubles originating from the U.S. And it is hereby announced as follows: | | 根据上述审查结果，依据《中华人民共和国反补贴条例》第十六条的规定，商务部决定自2016年1月12日起对原产于美国的进口干玉米酒糟进行反补贴立案调查。现将有关事项公告如下： |
