Anmodningen er vedlagt en udtalelse fra de finske konkurrencemyndigheder (Kilpailuvirasto/Konkurrensverket), hvori det dels hedder, at der ikke er »nogen særlig grund til ikke at indrømme den i artikel 30 omhandlede undtagelse…«, dels, at »det bør erindres, at det finske postvæsen stadig har en meget stærk stilling på markedet inden for dets kerneforretning, dvs. indsamling og udbringning af breve, pakker og andre adresserede forsendelser, selv om hele postsektoren i Finland blev åbnet for konkurrence allerede i 1994 i forbindelse med loven om posttjenester.
The request is accompanied by the conclusions of the independent national authority, Kilpailuvirasto/Konkurrensverket (the Finnish Competition Authority), which, on the one hand, does not see ‘any particular reason to oppose the granting of the exclusion referred to in Article 30 …’, while stating on the other hand that ‘it should be remembered that Finland Post Corporation still has a very strong market position in its traditional core business, i.e. the collection and distribution of letters, packages and other addressed items, even though the entire postal sector was opened up to competition in Finland as early as 1994 pursuant to the Act on Postal Operations.
På det finske postvæsens traditionelle kerneforretningsområde er der dog ikke opstået konkurrence …«
Nevertheless, no competition has emerged in Finland Post Corporation’s traditional core business.’
RETLIGE RAMMER
LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Artikel 30 i direktiv 2004/17/EF bestemmer, at kontrakter, der indgås med henblik på at muliggøre udførelse af en af de aktiviteter, som direktivet finder anvendelse på, ikke er underlagt direktivet, hvis den pågældende aktivitet i den medlemsstat, hvor den udøves, er direkte undergivet almindelige konkurrencevilkår på markeder, hvortil adgangen er fri.
Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC provides that contracts intended to enable the performance of one of the activities to which Directive 2004/17/EC applies shall not be subject to that Directive if, in the Member State in which it is carried out, the activity is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted.
Da Finland har gennemført og anvender Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets direktiv 97/67/EF af 15. december 1997 om fælles regler for udvikling af Fællesskabets indre marked for posttjenester og forbedring af disse tjenesters kvalitet [2], må markedsadgangen anses for at være fri, jf. artikel 30, stk. 3, første afsnit, i direktiv 2004/17/EF.
Since Finland has implemented and applied Directive 97/67/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 December 1997 on common rules for the development of the internal market of Community postal services and the improvement of quality of service [2], access to the market should be deemed not to be restricted in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 30(3) of Directive 2004/17/EC.
Om en aktivitet er direkte undergivet almindelige konkurrencevilkår, afgøres på grundlag af en række forskellige kriterier, hvoraf intet alene er afgørende.
Direct exposure to competition in a particular market should be evaluated on the basis of various criteria, none of which are, per se, decisive.
Hvad angår de markeder, der er omfattet af denne beslutning, er den markedsandel, som de vigtigste aktører på et givet marked har, ét kriterium, som må tages i betragtning.
In respect of the markets concerned by this decision, the market share of the main players on a given market constitutes one criterion which should be taken into account.
Et andet kriterium er koncentrationsgraden på disse markeder.
Another criterion is the degree of concentration on those markets.
Da de forskellige aktiviteter, der er omfattet af denne beslutning, ikke er underlagt samme betingelser, bør der ved undersøgelsen af konkurrencesituationen tages hensyn til de forskellige forhold på de forskellige markeder.
As the conditions vary for the different activities that are concerned by this Decision, the examination of the competitive situation should take into account the different situations on different markets.
Selv om der i visse tilfælde kunne anvendes snævrere markedsdefinitioner, er det i forbindelse med denne beslutning ikke nødvendigt af fastlægge en præcis definition af det relevante marked med hensyn til en række af de tjenester, der er anført i Finlands anmodning, da resultatet af analysen vil være den samme, uanset om der anvendes en snævrere eller bredere definition.
Although narrower market definitions might be envisaged in certain cases, the precise definition of the relevant market can be left open for the purposes of this Decision as far as a number of the services listed in the request submitted by Finland are concerned to the extent that the result of the analysis remains the same whether it is based on a narrow or a broader definition.
Denne beslutning berører ikke anvendelsen af konkurrencereglerne.
This Decision is without prejudice to the application of the rules on competition.
Tjenester, der ikke er omfattet af direktiv 2004/17/EF
Services not covered by Directive 2004/17/EC
I henhold til artikel 6, stk. 2, litra c), i direktiv 2004/17/EF er logistiktjenester, f.eks. oplagring og kontraktlogistik, og værdiforøgende tillægstjenester, f.eks. trykning, dataforvaltning og e-handel, omfattet af direktivet, hvis disse tjenester ydes af virksomheder, der også leverer posttjenester som defineret i artikel 6, stk. 2, litra b), i direktiv 2004/17/EF.
In accordance with Article 6(2)(c) of Directive 2004/17/EC, logistics services, such as warehousing services and contract logistics, and added-value services, such as printing services, data management services and e-transaction services, are covered by that Directive on condition that such services are provided by entities which also provide postal services within the meaning of Article 6(2)(b) of Directive 2004/17/EC.
Ifølge Kommissionens oplysninger er denne betingelse ikke opfyldt i Finland hvad angår oplagring, trykning, dataforvaltning og e-handel.
According to the information available to the Commission, that condition is not met in Finland in respect of warehousing, printing, data management and e-transactions services.
Direktiv 2004/17/EF finder således ikke anvendelse på levering af disse tjenester i Finland.
The Directive 2004/17/EC consequently does not apply to the provision of those services in Finland.
Tjenester, som ikke er omfattet af artikel 30, stk. 1, i direktiv 2004/17/EF
Services to which Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC is not applicable
Adresserede brevforsendelser
Addressed letter services
Inden for forbrugerbreve (adresserede CtC- og CtB-brevforsendelser, indland og udland) har det finske postvæsen en markedsandel på 100 %.
In respect of consumer letters (CtC and CtB addressed letter services, domestic and international), Finland Post has a market share of 100 %.
Inden for erhvervsbreve anslås det at have en markedsandel på mellem 85 % (for adresserede BtB-brevforsendelser, indland og udland) og 95 % (for adresserede BtC-brevforsendelser, indland og udland), og ingen konkurrenter har en anslået markedsandel på over 10 %.
For business letters, its estimated market share varies between 85 % (for BtB addressed letter services, domestic and international) and 95 % (for BtC addressed letter services, domestic and international), with none of its competitors having obtained an estimated market share exceeding 10 %.
Efter de foreliggende oplysninger er det finske postvæsens markedsandel for adresserede brevforsendelser til og fra udlandet den samme som for indenlandske postforsendelser.
According to the available information, Finland Post's market shares for international addressed letter services (inbound and outbound letters) are the same as for purely domestic services.
Ifølge de finske myndigheder er disse tjenester direkte undergivet almindelige konkurrencevilkår, for det første på grund af muligheden for at erstatte traditionelle breve på papir med elektroniske kommunikationsmidler (f.eks. e-mail eller SMS), og for det andet fordi den eksisterende frie adgang til markedet udsætter det for potentiel konkurrence fra eventuelle nye aktører på markedet.
According to the Finnish authorities, those services are directly exposed to competition, first because of competitive pressure from the possibility to substitute ‘traditional’ paper-based letter services with electronic means of communication (such as e-mail or SMS) and, second, because the existing unrestricted access to the market exposes it to potential competition from possible newcomers.
Med hensyn til substitution skal det bemærkes, at i henhold til EU's konkurrenceregler bør substituerbarhed vurderes blandt andet på grundlag af produktkendetegn, produkternes pris og hindringerne for, at efterspørgslen retter sig mod potentielle erstatningsprodukter.
In respect of substitution, it should be noted that according to EC competition rules, substitutability should be analysed, inter alia, on the basis of product characteristics, price of the products and barriers associated with the switching of demand to potential substitutes.
Det ser ud til, at der er en væsentlig forskel på kendetegnene ved traditionelle breve på papir og ved e-kommunikation, og at der er en væsentlig hindring for at skifte fra breve på papir til elektronisk post.
It appears that the characteristics of paper-based mail and of electronic communications differ significantly and that there is a significant barrier to switching between paper-based mail and electronic mail [3].
Heraf må udledes, at elektronisk kommunikation tilhører et andet produktmarked, og at den derfor ikke kan udsætte det finske postvæsens aktiviteter inden for adresserede brevforsendelser for direkte konkurrence.
This indicates that electronic communications belong to a different product market and therefore they cannot exercise a direct competitive restraint on Finland Post ' s addressed letter services.
Desuden må det formodes, at hovedeffekten af øget anvendelse af elektronisk post vil være, at den samlede mængde traditionel post på papir bliver mindre, og ikke at konkurrencen på området bliver større.
Furthermore, it would seem that the main effect of the increased use of electronic mail would substantially reduce the overall size of the paper-based mail market, rather than introduce competition within it.
Ifølge de foreliggende oplysninger var det finske postvæsens modsvar på de finske bankers intensiverede markedsføringsindsats inden for e-fakturering eksempelvis at tilbyde sine egne elektroniske tjenester og ikke at tage initiativer inden for traditionel kommunikation på papir.
For example, according to the information supplied, the response by Finland Post to an increased marketing of e-invoicing by Finland ' s banks was to offer its own electronic services and not take any initiative concerning ‘traditional’, paper-based communications.
Med hensyn til den potentielle konkurrence skal det for det andet bemærkes, at hele postsektoren er blevet åbnet for konkurrence fra 1994, og at dette indtil nu kun har resulteret i, at konkurrenterne har opnået en samlet anslået markedsandel på kun 15 % selv i det segment, der er det mest oplagte mål for øget konkurrence (adresserede BtB-brevforsendelser, indland og udland).
Second, as to the potential competition, it is significant that the entire postal sector has been opened to competition since 1994 and that this has until now only resulted in competitors gaining an aggregate estimated market share of just 15 % even in the most readily competitive segment (BtB addressed letter services, domestic and international).
Der er derfor ikke noget, der tyder på, at den potentielle konkurrence kommer til at spille nogen væsentlig rolle i en overskuelig fremtid.
As a result, there is no indication that the potential competition will play any significant role in the foreseeable future.
I overensstemmelse med udtalelsen fra de finske konkurrencemyndigheder (Kilpailuvirasto/Konkurrensverket) bør det derfor konkluderes, at de tjenester, der er omhandlet i denne betragtning, ikke er direkte undergivet almindelige konkurrencevilkår i Finland.
Consistent with conclusions of the independent national authority, Kilpailuvirasto/Konkurrensverket (the Finnish Competition Authority), it should be concluded that the services examined in this recital are not directly exposed to competition in Finland.
Artikel 30, stk. 1, i direktiv 2004/17/EF finder derfor ikke anvendelse på kontrakter, hvis formål er at udøve disse aktiviteter i Finland.
Therefore Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC does not apply to contracts intended to enable the pursuit of those activities in Finland.
Adresserede reklameforsendelser
Addressed direct mail services
Inden for adresserede reklameforsendelser, hvorved der i denne beslutning forstås adresserede forsendelser, der har et markedsføringsformål, har det finske postvæsen en anslået markedsandel på 90 %, mens ingen af dets konkurrenter har opnået en markedsandel på over 10 %.
In respect of addressed direct mail which for the purposes of this Decision means addressed deliveries intended as marketing communications, Finland Post has an estimated market share of 90 % with none of its competitors having obtained a market share estimated to exceed 10 %.
I betragtning af det høje koncentrationsniveau på dette marked og i betragtning af, at der ikke er indikatorer, der peger på det modsatte, må det konkluderes, at adresserede reklameforsendelser ikke er direkte undergivet almindelige konkurrencevilkår i Finland.
In view of this high level of concentration on this market and in the absence of any other indicators to the contrary, it should be concluded that addressed direct mail services are not directly exposed to competition in Finland.
Artikel 30, stk. 1, i direktiv 2004/17/EF finder derfor ikke anvendelse på kontrakter, hvis formål er at udøve denne aktivitet i Finland.
Therefore Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC does not apply to contracts intended to enable the pursuit of that activity in Finland.
Forbruger-standardpakker (CtC og CtB), indland og udland
Consumer standard parcel services (CtC and CtB), domestic and international
På dette område har det finske postvæsen en ret stærk stilling på markedet med en skønnet markedsandel på 80 % [4].
In respect of these services, Finland Post's position is quite strong with an estimated market share of 80 % [4].
Den største (og eneste væsentlige) konkurrent til det finske postvæsen har stort set de resterende 20 % [5].
The market share of the biggest (and only significant) competitor of Finland Post covers virtually the remaining 20 % [5].
I overensstemmelse med udtalelsen fra de finske konkurrencemyndigheder bør det konkluderes, at de tjenester, der er undersøgt her, ikke er direkte undergivet almindelige konkurrencevilkår i Finland.
Consistent with the conclusions of the Finnish competition authority, it should be concluded that the category of services examined is not directly exposed to competition in Finland.
Udbringning af aviser tidligt om morgenen
Early delivery of newspapers
Herved forstås en sådan udbringning syv dage om ugen af aviser, der udkommer mindst tre gange om ugen.
This service is defined as morning delivery, seven days a week, of newspapers published at least three times per week.
På dette område anslås det finske postvæsen at have en markedsandel på næsten tre fjerdedele (74 %), mens den største konkurrent har omkring 10 %.
In respect of this service, Finland Post has a market share estimated at almost three quarters (74 %) and that of its biggest competitor amounts to approximately 10 %.
I betragtning af det finske postvæsens store markedsandel og dermed selv dets største konkurrents relativt lille markedsandel bør det konkluderes, at udbringning af aviser tidligt om morgenen ikke er direkte undergivet almindelige konkurrencevilkår i Finland.
In view of the high market share of Finland Post and conversely the relatively low market share of even its biggest competitor, it should be concluded that early delivery of newspapers is not directly exposed to competition in Finland.
Artikel 30, stk. 1, i direktiv 2004/17/EF finder derfor ikke anvendelse på kontrakter, hvis formål er at udøve denne aktivitet i Finland.
Therefore Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC does not apply to contracts intended to enable the pursuit of this activity in Finland.
Standardudbringning af aviser
Standard delivery of newspapers
Med en markedsandel på 100 % er det finske postvæsen den eneste leverandør af denne tjeneste.
With a market share of 100 % Finland Post is the only supplier of these services.
Da udbringningen af disse aviser finder sted samtidig med udbringningen af breve og ad samme ruter som for adresserede brevforsendelser som behandlet i betragtning 10, er konklusionen vedrørende konkurrencesituationen den samme, særlig da forskellen mellem trykte aviser og elektronisk kommunikation er endnu mere fremtrædende her.
As the delivery of these newspapers takes place at the same time as the delivery of letters and using the same circuits as those used for the delivery of addressed letter services examined under recital 10, the same conclusion as to the competitive situation applies, particularly since the different characteristics of printed newspaper and electronic communication are even more obvious here.
Det bør derfor konkluderes, at standardudbringning af aviser ikke er direkte undergivet almindelige konkurrencevilkår i Finland.
For these reasons it should be concluded that standard delivery of newspapers is not directly exposed to competition in Finland.
Totalløsninger i forbindelse med reklameforsendelser
Overall solutions in respect of direct mail
I henhold til de finske myndigheders anmodning og supplerende oplysninger omfatter totalløsninger i forbindelse med reklameforsendelser forskellige kombinationer af en række tjenester, f.eks. trykning, adressering, målgruppeanalyser, kopiering og (elektronisk) feedback i kombination med adresserede og/eller uadresserede reklameforsendelser [6].
According to the notification and the supplementary information submitted by the Finnish authorities, overall solutions in respect of direct mail are seen as different combinations of various services such as printing services, addressing and focusing services, copy services and (electronic) feedback services in combination with addressed and/or unaddressed direct mail services [6].
Den præcise kombination af tjenesterne afhænger af de enkelte kunders ønsker.
The precise combination of services depends on the demands of the individual customers.
