IA Study Concerning the Revision of the Cableways Directive 2.4.2 Imports The major manufacturers of cableways are based in Europe and, as such, there are unlikely to be any imports of cableways into Europe. However, a small manufacturer of ropes stated that the Directive helped them in terms of putting them at an advantage vis-à-vis their competitors from the Far East who were not able to supply the necessary conformity assessment documents. Data are available from Eurostat regarding imports from countries outside the EU27 under the HS code 842860. This code includes: teleferics, chair-lifts, ski-drag lines and traction mechanisms for funiculars. It is expected that this code may include items which do not apply specifically to cableways installations designed to carry persons, therefore the accuracy of the data may be questioned. Table 2.27 presents the total value (in €) of imports of cableways by country (under the code 842860) based on data from the Eurostat database. The development of total imports under Category HS 842860 between 2001 and 2011 is also shown graphically in Figure 2.9 on Page 38. However, it should be noted that this code may include items which do not apply specifically to cableways installations designed to carry persons. According to COMTRADE on a global scale the leading importing countries for cableways are China, Turkey and Switzerland. 2.4.3 Exports Main Export Markets The main export markets for cableways appear to be changing. For instance, Japan was a major export market in the past. Within Japan, the principal players are Nippon Cable, which holds the licence for Doppelmayr-Garaventa products, and Anzen Sakudo which licences Poma technology. Today, Japan has an established ski industry with over 200 ski resorts and the industry can be said to be mature. On the other hand, the wider Asian region is experiencing increased use of cableways. At present, there are no major manufacturers of cableways (DARE, 2009), although there are six companies which manufacture cableways in this region. European exports are helped by the fact that the coverage of the Directive is broader than the EU as conformity with European harmonised standards may be the preferred means of demonstrating safety in many non-EU locations, too (perhaps with the exception of North America); for example, a rope manufacturer stated that that they use the European harmonised standard to sell ropes globally. In addition, there is an indication that a large manufacturer based in Europe also occasionally uses standards when exporting to non-European locations. Data regarding the total volume of cableways (as specified under HS code 842860 – teleferics, chair-lifts, ski-drag lines and traction mechanisms for funiculars) exported by the EU are available from Eurostat. As above, it is expected that this code may include items which do not apply specifically to cableways installations designed to carry persons, therefore the accuracy of the data may be questioned. Table 2.28 presents the total value of exports (in euros) from the EU from 2001 to 2011, with some of this information also shown graphically Figure 2.9. The largest exporting countries are those that conduct Page 36
Risk & Policy Analysts cableways manufacturing notably Austria, France and Italy. This data is largely consistent with that provided by COMTRADE. Information on main export markets is also known for some of the major players in the cableways sector. Doppelmayr-Garaventa Data from Doppelmayr-Garaventa suggests that of the 160 cableways installed in 2003/2004: 44% were in Europe (excluding Austria); 32% were in Austria; 13% were in the Rest of the World; and 11% were in the USA and Canada. Therefore, according to this data, 24% of Doppelmayr-Garaventa installations were installed outside of Europe. However, by 2010/2011 of the 126 cableways installed: 66% were in Europe, of which: o 20% were in Austria; o 10% were in Switzerland; o 8% were in Italy; o 6% were in France; o 5% were in the Czech Republic; o 4% were in Germany; and o 13% were in other European countries (Spain, Croatia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Poland, Finland, Norway, Andorra, and Romania). 19% were in the rest of the world; and 15% were in the USA and Canada. Consequently, by 2010/2011, Doppelmayr-Garaventa was installing 34% of its installations outside Europe, compared to 24% in 2003. Poma Poma appears to derive 60% of its turnover from international installations (Aldebert, 2011) but it is not known if this refers markets outside of Europe or France. Page 37

Doppelmayr-Garaventa<br />
Data from Doppelmayr-Garaventa suggests that of the 160 cableways installed in<br />

<br />
<br />

44% were in Europe (excluding Austria);<br />
32% were in Austria;<br />
13% were in the Rest of the World; and<br />
11% were in the USA and Canada.<br />
Therefore, according to this data, 24% of Doppelmayr-Garaventa installations were<br />
installed outside of Europe. However, by 2010/2011 of the 126 cableways installed:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
66% were in Europe, of which:<br />
o 20% were in Austria;<br />
o 10% were in Switzerland;<br />
o 8% were in Italy;<br />
o 6% were in France;<br />
o 5% were in the Czech Republic;<br />
o 4% were in Germany; and<br />
o 13% were in other European countries (Spain, Croatia, Slovakia, Bulgaria,<br />
Serbia, Poland, Fi<strong>nl</strong>and, Norway, Andorra, and Romania).<br />
19% were in the rest of the world; and<br />
15% were in the USA and Canada.<br />
Consequently, by 2010/2011, Doppelmayr-Garaventa was installing 34% of its<br />
installations outside Europe, compared to 24% in 2003.<br />
Poma<br />
Poma appears to derive 60% of its turnover from international installations (Aldebert,<br />
2011) but it is not known if this refers markets outside of Europe or France.<br />
