English: Furthermore, solar modules do not seem to be substitutable with another product. They are the main element of solar energy systems and cannot be replaced in these systems by other products.
Italian: Inoltre, i moduli solari non sembrano intercambiabili con altri prodotti: essi costituiscono infatti la componente principale dei sistemi ad energia solare e non possono essere sostituiti da altri prodotti.
English: The German authorities also provided some data on the beneficiary’s expected future production volumes for solar modules. The Commission used the LBBW study as a basis for its calculations.
Italian: Inoltre, ha fornito alcuni dati sul previsto volume della produzione di moduli solari del beneficiario dell'aiuto.
Portuguese: As autoridades alemãs também forneceram alguns dados sobre os volumes de produção de módulos solares que o beneficiário prevê para o futuro.
English: The Commission based its assessment on the apparent consumption in the photovoltaic sector as a whole in the EEA since it is very difficult to find data on the solar module market at EEA level. This is mainly due to the fact that the geographic market of solar modules is considered worldwide.
Italian: Per valutare il consumo rilevabile nello Spazio economico Europeo, la Commissione si è basata sul settore fotovoltaico, dal momento che è molto difficile reperire dati sul mercato dei moduli solari a livello dello Spazio economico Europeo, soprattutto perché il mercato del solare viene considerato come un mercato mondiale.
English: The notified aid refers to a new investment project, called Sovello2. It concerns the construction of a new plant for the integrated large scale production of solar modules using the validated String-Ribbon technology on land adjacent to the Sovello1 site in Thalheim. The works on Sovello2 started in July 2006, and were finalised by June 2008.
Lithuanian: Pagalba, apie kurią pranešta, susijusi su nauju investiciniu projektu Sovello2, kurio tikslas – naujos gamyklos, skirtos integruotai serijinei saulės modulių gamybai pagal patvirtintą String-Ribbon technologiją, statyba su Sovello1 teritorija besiribojančiame žemės sklype Talheime.
English: In case the cohesion bonus applies (cf. hereinafter: aid including cohesion bonus), the maximum aid amount for an eligible cost of EUR 135,934 million in discounted value is EUR 35,105 million (representing an aid intensity of 25,83 % GGE). This aid intensity is based on point 25 of the MSF 2002.
Lithuanian: Jei bus panaudota sanglaudos išmoka (toliau – pagalba su sanglaudos išmoka), didžiausia pagalbos suma bus 35,105 mln. EUR (dabartinė vertė, tai atitinka 25,83 % BSE pagalbos intensyvumą), jei reikalavimus atitinkančios išlaidos – 135,934 mln. EUR. Šis pagalbos intensyvumas grindžiamas MSR 2002.
English: With the notification, the German authorities provided a copy of the aid granting decision. Furthermore, the German authorities have committed to submit to the Commission:
Lithuanian: Vokietija prie pranešimo pridėjo Sprendimo dėl paramos kopiją, taip pat pažadėjo Komisijai teikti šiuos dokumentus:
English: However, it is true that typical elements that would demonstrate functional links between the ‘series of fixed capital items fulfilling a precise technical function’ that constitute the two production facilities are not present in this case. For example, there is no supply relationship between the Sovello projects, no common technical infrastructure (e.g. power plant or similar) nor an exchange of intermediate products.
Lithuanian: Tačiau tiesa, kad šiuo atveju nėra kai kurių elementų, kurie paprastai įrodytų esant funkcinę sąsają tarp abi gamyklas sudarančio „ilgalaikio materialiojo turto, kurio dalys atlieka tam tikrą techninę funkciją“, pavyzdžiui, tarp abiejų Sovello projektų nėra tiekimo ryšių, jos nesinaudoja bendra technine infrastruktūra (pvz., jėgaine ar pan.), taip pat nesikeičia tarpiniais produktais.
English: Sovello1 was therefore a very novel project, that aimed at testing the technical feasibility and economic viability of manufacturing at industrial scale solar modules based on the String-Ribbon technology. Sovello2 would be the industrial large-scale production, which could only be started if Sovello1 was successful.
Lithuanian: Taigi, Sovello1 atveju tai buvo visiškai naujas projektas, kurio tikslas – išbandyti saulės modulių gamybos, naudojant String-Ribbon technologiją, techninį pagrįstumą ir ekonomiškumą, o Sovello2 tikslas – pradėti pramoninę serijinę gamybą, jei Sovello1 bus sėkmingas.
English: It is however not sure that the Commission would have approved an SME bonus for an investment project of such a large scope. Whatever the scenario, even if no SME bonus would have been allowed, all calculations suggest that Sovello had no economic incentive to ‘artificially’ split Sovello1 and Sovello2.
Lithuanian: Tačiau net ir šiuo atveju iš visų skaičiavimų matyti, kad Sovello neturėjo ekonominės paskatos „dirbtinai“ padalyti projektą į Sovello1 ir Sovello2.
English: When the aid was notified, the German authorities provided several independent studies [50] with forecasts for the evolution of demand in the photovoltaic sector. The German authorities also provided some data on the beneficiary’s expected future production volumes for solar modules.
Lithuanian: Vokietija, pranešdama apie pagalbą, pateikė kelis nepriklausomus tyrimus [50], kuriuose prognozuojamas paklausos vystymasis fotovoltinės įrangos sektoriuje, taip pat duomenų apie numatomą pagalbos gavėjo saulės modulių gamybos apimtį.
English: The String-Ribbon technology is a continuous process whereby long wires unwind from spools, run through a silicon melt and pull a long ‘ribbon’ of silicon out of this melt. The ribbon is harvested periodically and cut into smaller pieces (solar wafers).
Lithuanian: String-Ribbon technologija yra nepertraukiamas procesas, kurio metu nuo ritės vyniojamos kelios ilgos vielos ir traukiamos per skystą silicį – taip iš lydymo vonios ištraukiama tarp vielų susiformavusi ilga silicio juosta (Ribbon), kuri reguliariai paimama ir supjaustoma į mažesnes dalis (saulės plokštes).

English: Case T-184/97 BP v Commission, ECR [1997] II-03145. In this case, the CFI appears to hold that a programme intended to demonstrate the economic and industrial viability of a sector cannot be regarded as a pilot project for the technological development of products.
Latvian: Lieta T-184/97 BP/Komisija, ECR (1997), II-03145 lpp. Šajā lietā Pirmās instances tiesa atzina, ka noteiktas kategorijas izstrādājumu ekonomiskas un rūpnieciskas iespējamības demonstrēšanas programmu nevar uzskatīt par izmēģinājuma projektu, kura mērķis ir izstrādājumu tehnoloģiska attīstība.
English: They therefore hold that even if Sovello1 was not recognised as a pilot project, Sovello1 and Sovello2 would still not constitute a single investment project since the criteria set forward in point 49 of the MSF 2002 are not jointly fulfilled. (73) The German authorities conclude that the geographic and timely proximity of the two projects should not lead to the conclusion that these two investments form a single investment project in the meaning of point 49 of the MSF 2002 and are artificially subdivided in order to escape the provisions of the MSF 2002.
Dutch: Duitsland stelt dat het feit dat de beide projecten op aangrenzende locaties en qua tijd kort na elkaar zijn uitgevoerd, niet tot de conclusie mag leiden dat beide investeringen samen als één enkele investering aangemerkt moeten worden in de zin van punt 49 van de MSF 2002 of dat de projecten kunstmatig opgesplitst zijn om de voorschriften van de MSF 2002 te omzeilen.
English: The works on Sovello2 started in July 2006, and were finalised by June 2008. Sovello2 was expected to reach its full nominal capacity of 60 MWp in 2009 [9].
Polish: Prace budowlane na terenie Sovello2 rozpoczęto w lipcu 2006 r., a zakończono w czerwcu 2008 r. Sovello2 miało osiągnąć pełne nominalne moce produkcyjne na poziomie 60 MWp w 2009 r. [9].
English: As the aid to Sovello is disbursed on the basis of approved aid schemes, the aid is therefore in principle in compliance with the general provisions of the RAG 1998. The Commission confirms this finding in its present decision.
Polish: Z uwagi na fakt, że pomoc dla Sovello ma zostać przyznana w ramach sprawdzonych już systemów, jest ona co do zasady zgodna z ogólnymi przepisami Wytycznych w sprawie krajowej pomocy regionalnej z 1998 r. Komisja potwierdza powyższe stwierdzenie w niniejszej decyzji.
English: This advantage has to be balanced against EUR […] of extra costs. The German authorities based their calculation on the assumption that a single investment project (with reduced total costs) would also have benefited of an SME bonus of 15 %, as was the case for the Sovello1 project.
Polish: Wiązałoby się to jednak z powstaniem kosztów dodatkowych w wysokości […] EUR. Przy swoich obliczeniach władze niemieckie przyjęły, że również w odniesieniu do jednostkowego projektu inwestycyjnego (o niższych łącznych kosztach) przyznana zostałaby premia dla MŚP, jak to miało miejsce w przypadku projektu Sovello1.
English: The beneficiary of the notified aid is Sovello AG (hereafter: Sovello). Sovello was established in December 2004 as a joint venture of Evergreen Solar Inc. (Marlboro MA, USA) (hereafter: Evergreen), owing 75,1 % of the shares, and Q-Cells AG (Thalheim, Germany) (hereafter: Q-Cells), owing 24,9 %.
Portuguese: O beneficiário do auxílio notificado é a Sovello AG (a seguir denominada «Sovello»), uma empresa comum criada em Dezembro de 2004 pela Evergreen Solar Inc. (Marlboro MA, EUA) (a seguir denominada: Evergreen), detentora de 75,1 % do capital social, e pela Q-Cells AG (Thalheim, Alemanha) (a seguir denominada «QCells»), detentora de 24,9 %.
English: EPIA underlined that the String-Ribbon process technology employed by Sovello is a silicon ribbon growth process to make crystalline wafers which, compared to conventional crystalline sawing technologies, consumes markedly less silicon. It has thus a clear cost advantage.
Portuguese: A EPIA sublinhou que a tecnologia de processo String-Ribbon utilizada pela Sovello é um processo contínuo de produção de fitas de silício para produzir wafers cristalinos que, comparativamente com as tecnologias convencionais de corte de silício cristalino, consome significativamente menos silício, o que constitui uma vantagem clara em termos de custos.
English: According to the Solar generation study of EPIA and Greenpeace [40], 90 % of the cell technology in 2005 was silicon based. This is confirmed by information on the internet.
Portuguese: De acordo com o estudo «Solar Generation» da EPIA e da Greenpeace [40], em 2005, 90 % da tecnologia celular era baseada em silício, o que é confirmado por informações obtidas na Internet.
English: The Commission recalls, however, that this only indicates that Sovello1 and Sovello2 were not separated with the intention to circumvent the State aid rules. It does not mean that, if a project has to be split in any event for economic reasons, as was the case here, there might not be an advantage in presenting them as not building a single investment project, in order to benefit from higher aid intensities.
Slovenian: Komisija vseeno opozarja, da to samo kaže, da Sovello1 in Sovello2 nista bila ločena z namenom izogibanja pravilom glede državne pomoči, ne pomeni pa, da če je treba projekt vseeno razdeliti iz ekonomskih razlogov, kar se je zgodilo v tem primeru, dejstvo, da ga ne bi predstavili kot enoten naložbeni projekt, ne bi prineslo prednosti in možnosti za višje intenzivnosti pomoči.
English: However, the absence of an intentional circumvention of MSF 2002 rules does not allow to come automatically to the conclusion that projects started within the three-year period do not constitute a single investment project (cf. also paragraphs 47 to 49 of the AMD decision, where the Commission concluded to the existence of a single investment project although there was no intention to artificially subdivide the projects in order to circumvent the MSF 2002 rules). Whether a single investment project exists or not has to be established on the basis of facts, applying the criteria developed in point 49 of the MSF 2002, and not on the basis of intentions.
Swedish: Att bestämmelserna i MSF 2002 inte avsiktligen har kringgåtts innebär inte att man automatiskt kan dra slutsatsen att projekt som påbörjats inom en treårsperiod inte utgör ett enda investeringsprojekt (jämför även punkterna 47–49 i AMD-beslutet där kommissionen drog slutsatsen att det var fråga om ett enda investeringsprojekt trots att det inte förelåg någon avsikt att på ett konstlat sätt dela upp projekten för att kringgå bestämmelserna i MSF 2002).
