English: The Commission carried out an analysis of whether this increased integration of FagorBrandt in Fagor called into question the conclusions drawn in paragraph 27 of the opening decision concerning FagorBrandt’s eligibility. It concluded that such was not the case, as the great majority of the factors mentioned in that paragraph remained valid.
Italian: La Commissione ha esaminato se questa maggiore integrazione di FagorBrandt in Fagor rimettesse in discussione le conclusioni formulate al punto 27 della decisione di avvio del procedimento quanto all’ammissibilità di FagorBrandt ad aiuti ed ha concluso che il caso non si presenta in quanto la maggior parte degli elementi invocati in tale paragrafo restano validi.
English: Following that meeting, the French authorities submitted information by letter dated 9 July 2008. On 15 July 2008, the Commission requested additional information, which the French authorities provided on 16 July 2008.
Lithuanian: 2008 m. liepos 15 d. Komisija paprašė papildomos informacijos, kurią Prancūzijos valdžios institucijos pateikė 2008 m. liepos 16 d.
English: It will thus ensure that there is no combination of the old aid with the new aid and that the old aid is reimbursed. Hence it will no longer be necessary, in the remainder of the assessment of the new aid, to take into account the cumulative effect of the aid or the absence of reimbursement.
Dutch: Aldus kan zij verzekeren dat er geen sprake is van cumulering van eerder toegekende steun met nieuwe steun, en dat de eerdere steun zal worden terugbetaald, en hoeft zij bij de beoordeling van de nieuwe steun geen rekening meer te houden met het cumuleringseffect van de steun of met het feit dat de steun niet is terugbetaald.
English: Comments were submitted by Electrolux by letter dated 14 December 2007. Following a meeting with the Commission’s departments on 20 February 2008, Electrolux submitted additional comments by letters dated 26 February and 12 March 2008. A competitor which wishes to remain anonymous submitted comments by letter dated 17 December 2007 [3]. FagorBrandt submitted comments by letter dated 17 December 2007.
Polish: Electrolux przedstawił uwagi pismem z dnia 14 grudnia 2007 r. Po spotkaniu ze służbami Komisji w dniu 20 lutego 2008 r. przedsiębiorstwo to przedstawiło dodatkowe uwagi pismami z dnia 26 lutego 2008 r. i z dnia 12 marca 2008 r. Jeden konkurent, który pragnie zachować anonimowość, przedstawił [3] uwagi pismem z dnia 17 grudnia 2007 r. FagorBrandt przedstawił uwagi pismem z dnia 17 grudnia 2007 r. Komisja przekazała te uwagi Francji pismami z dnia 15 stycznia 2008 r. i z dnia 13 marca 2008 r., umożliwiając jej ich skomentowanie.
English: Although in the long run a convergence in purchasing behaviour between eastern Europe and western Europe is possible, the weak purchasing power of the former means that demand is concentrated on essential goods (washing machines and refrigerators) and entry-level appliances. It is these markets, however, that Turkish and Asian competitors are entering.
Polish: Jeśli w długim okresie można przewidywać zbieżność zachowań zakupowych w Europie Wschodniej i w Europie Zachodniej, niewielka siła nabywcza krajów Europy Wschodniej prowadzi do koncentracji popytu na podstawowych produktach pierwszej potrzeby (pralkach lub lodówkach), a właśnie na te rynki weszli konkurenci tureccy i azjatyccy.
English: Secondly, the company is eligible for restructuring aid. First of all, its financial difficulties do not stem primarily from the reimbursement of the incompatible aid.
Portuguese: Em segundo lugar, a empresa é elegível para auxílios à reestruturação.
English: A second meeting was held between the same parties on 12 June 2008. Following that meeting, the French authorities submitted information by letter dated 9 July 2008.
Romanian: La 12 iunie 2008, a avut loc o a doua întrevedere, în urma căreia autoritățile franceze au comunicat informații prin scrisoarea din 9 iulie 2008.
English: France has, moreover, invoked no other exception provided for in the Treaty. Nor has any of the interested parties criticised this choice of legal basis, which was already announced in the opening decision.
Slovak: Okrem toho sa Francúzsko nedovolávalo žiadnej výnimky zo zmluvy a ani jedna zo zainteresovaných strán nekritizovala výber tohto právneho základu, ktorý bol už oznámený v rozhodnutí o začatí konania.
English: The French authorities have not backed up their assertion with specific evidence. It is contradicted, moreover, by their notification, which described a highly competitive market with diversified competition from, among others, distributor brands.
Slovak: Francúzske orgány toto tvrdenie presne nezdôvodnili, pričom zároveň protirečí ich oznámeniu, v ktorom bol trh opísaný ako vysokokonkurenčný s mnohorakou konkurenciou, najmä pokiaľ ide o distribučné značky.
English: In the notification, the French authorities state that one of the restructuring plan’s objectives is ‘to rationalise production by abandoning certain bottom-end segments which have become structurally loss-making in order to limit the losses related to the market share gains by low-cost country manufacturers (freestanding microwave ovens, freezers and small refrigerators).’ In their letter of 15 February 2008, in which they comment on the comments from interested parties, the French authorities state that ‘The French authorities would remind you that […] the various measures already taken are intended initially to stem the losses (closure of a loss-making production plant, Lesquin, and abandonment of certain unprofitable product lines, including freestanding microwave ovens).’ These two extracts confirm the earlier conclusions concerning the closure of the Lesquin plant.
Slovak: Francúzske orgány v oznámení uvádzajú, že jedným z cieľov plánu reštrukturalizácie je „racionalizácia výroby upustením od niektorých segmentov nižšej triedy, ktoré sa štrukturálne stali stratovými, s cieľom obmedziť straty súvisiace so ziskom z podielov na trhu výrobcov z krajín s nízkymi nákladmi (voľne stojace mikrovlnné rúry, mrazničky a malé chladničky).“ Vo svojom liste z 15. februára 2008, v ktorom francúzske orgány podávajú vysvetlenia k pripomienkam zainteresovaných strán, sa uvádza: „Francúzske orgány pripomínajú, že… jednotlivé opatrenia, ktoré už boli prijaté v prvej etape, aby vykryli straty (zatvorenie stratového výrobného závodu v Lesquin a vzdanie sa výroby určitých neziskových výrobkov, napr. voľne stojacich mikrovlnných rúr).“ Tieto dva výňatky okrem iného potvrdzujú predchádzajúce závery o uzavretí závodu Lesquin.
English: First, observing that the turnover forecast for 2007 was approximately 20 % up on the previous year, it wondered what factors that forecast was based on. Secondly, it noted that the restructuring plan did not indicate how FagorBrandt intended to reimburse the incompatible aid received by its Italian subsidiary.
Swedish: Dels konstaterar kommissionen att omsättningen för 2007 beräknas öka med ca 20 % jämfört med föregående år och begär att få veta vad denna prognos grundas på, dels noterar kommissionen att omstruktureringsplanen inte anger hur FagorBrandt ska göra för att betala tillbaka det oförenliga stöd som dess italienska dotterbolag har mottagit.
English: Thirdly, it considers that the aid is likely to affect competition and trade between Member States. Most companies in the sector have their manufacturing base in Europe and can therefore be considered European.
Swedish: För det tredje anser konkurrenten att stödet riskerar att påverka konkurrensen och handeln mellan medlemsstaterna.
English: Asian and Turkish competitors have a significant presence only in certain product areas. FagorBrandt is the fifth largest operator at European level with a strong position in the French, Spanish and Polish markets.
Swedish: Dels har de flesta av företagen inom denna sektor sin tillverkning i Europa och kan därför betraktas som europeiska (de asiatiska och turkiska konkurrenterna har bara en betydande närvaro när det gäller vissa produkter), dels är FagorBrandt den femte största aktören på den europeiska marknaden och har en stark ställning på de franska, spanska och polska marknaderna.
English: Firstly, it asked the French authorities to explain why they had not included the aid reimbursement in the restructuring costs. Secondly, it asked for an explanation as to the nature of the ‘recipient’s own share’.
Swedish: Dels begär kommissionen att de franska myndigheterna ska motivera varför de inte har inkluderat återbetalningen av stödet i omstruktureringskostnaderna, dels begär kommissionen en förklaring av vad ”det stödmottagande företagets egen insats” betyder.
