CFB also noted that TI successfully produced phosphoric acid using the thermal process, refuting the claim that a change in the production process was necessary for CWP to restore its profitability.
Lisaks sellele nendib CWP, et TI toodab fosforhapet edukalt termilisel meetodil, mis lükkab ümber väite, et CWP rentaabluse taastamiseks on vajalik tootmisprotsessi muutmine.
It doubted that there were problems in obtaining elemental phosphorus.
CFB kahtleb elementaarse fosfori varustamisprobleemide olemasolus.
The production of phosphoric acid in the new installation would not, therefore, reduce advance financing costs.
Fosforhappe valmistamine uues rajatises ei vähendaks seega eelfinantseerimise kulusid.
In addition, CFB noted that the close cooperation between CWP and TI, including the agreement to transfer the phosphate business to TI and, after a certain period, TI’s right to take over this area of operation from CWP, raised the question whether TI was not ultimately a beneficiary of the aid.
Edasises nendib CFB, et CWP ja TI vaheline tihe koostöö, kaasa arvatud fosfaadiäri kokkulepitud üleandmine TI-le ja TI õigus see ettevõttevaldkond teatud kindla aja pärast CWP-lt üle võtta, tõstatab küsimuse, kas abi viimaks mitte TI-le kasuks ei tule.
Lastly, CFB pointed out that CWP was supported financially by its shareholders, notably BVT Industrie GmbH and TI.
Järgnevalt viitab CFB sellele, et CWPd toetatakse rahaliselt tema osanike, iseäranis BVT Industrie GmbH ja TI poolt.
Hence, the situation of CWP’s own capital should be taken into account when granting the aid.
Seetõttu peaks abi andmisel arvestama CWP omakapitali olukorda.
Comments from BK Giulini
BK Giulini arvamus
In its letter of 26 September 2001, BK Giulini considered that CWP did not have any restructuring plan and that the concept was inadequate and disproportionate.
BK Giulini väitis oma kirjas 26. septembrist 2001, et CWP-l ei olevat ümberstruktureerimisplaani ning et kontseptsioon olevat ebapiisav ja ebaproportsionaalne.
The change in the production process was not necessary and, from a technical and economic point of view, was impracticable.
Tootmismeetodi muutmine ei olevat vajalik ning on tehniliselt ja majanduslikult seisukohalt mitteteostatav.
Moreover, as CWP did not intend to abandon the thermal process, the measures constituted incompatible operating aid.
Kuna CWP pealegi ei kavatse termilisest meetodist loobuda, siis olevat meetmete puhul tegemist kokkusobimatu ettevõtlusabiga.
According to BK Giulini, supply difficulties and a lack of liquidity were not sufficient reasons for changing the production process and for carrying out a restructuring.
Varustamisraskused ja ebapiisav likviidsus ei olevat piisavad põhjused tootmisprotsessi ümberkorraldamiseks või ümberstruktureerimiseks.
The aid granted was not used for investments but as a liquidity grant, and this caused market distortions in the Community.
Antud abi ei olevat kasutatud mitte investeeringuteks, vaid likviidsusabirahana, mis olevat põhjustanud ühenduse turu moonutusi.
Another argument against the aid for CWP was overcapacity on the phosphoric acid market in Europe.
Järgmise argumendina CWP-le antud abi vastu tuuakse välja liigvõimsus Euroopa fosforhappe turul.
BK Giulini also states that the aid granted by Germany had demonstrably not contributed to restoring CWP’s viability.
Järgnevalt märgib BK Giulini, et Saksamaa poolt antud abi ei aidanud tõestatavasti kaasa CWP elujõulisuse taastamisele.
Despite the aid, the company had been making losses since 1998.
Abile vaatamata olevat ettevõte 1998. aastast alates kahjumis.
The agreement between CWP and TI was evidence of the complete failure of the restructuring measures.
CWP ja TI vaheline kokkulepe tõendavat ümberstruktureerimismeetmete täielikku nurjumist.
Lastly, BK Giulini considered that TI was the actual beneficiary of the aid.
Lisaks sellele on BK Giulini arvamuse kohaselt tegelik abirahasaaja TI.
Comments from CWP
CWP arvamus
By letters of 21 September 2001 and 6 February 2002, Germany gave the reaction of CWP to the initiation of the formal investigation procedure.
Kirjadega 21. septembrist 2001 ja 6. veebruarist 2002. aastå edastas Saksamaa CWP reageeringu formaalse kontrollmenetluse algatamisele.
By letter of 8 October 2002, in which Germany transmitted CWP’s reaction to the comments from the above-mentioned interested parties, CWP addressed the doubts expressed by the Commission when initiating the formal investigation procedure and by all the other interested parties.
oktoobri 2002. aasta kirjas, millega Saksamaa andis üle CWP vastuse ülalnimetatud kolmandate osapoolte arvamustele, käsitles CWP kõiki neid kahtlusi, mida väljendati komisjoni poolt enne formaalse kontrollmenetluse algatamisel ning kõigi teiste asjaosaliste poolt.
As regards the existence of a restructuring plan, CWP explained that the restructuring had two main objectives: extension of the product range in the area of phosphates and establishment of a broader raw material base by procuring cheaper alternatives to phosphorus.
Ümberstruktureerimise kontseptsiooni olemasolu kohta selgitab CWP, et ümberstruktureerimine järgis peamiselt kahte eesmärki: tootepaleti laiendamist fosfaatide valdkonnas ja avarama toorainebaasi loomist fosfori hinnasoodsate alternatiivide abil.
It stated that these objectives had remained unchanged throughout the restructuring process although the plan had indeed been amended on several occasions.
Nendes eesmärkides ei olevat kogu ümberstruktureerimisprotsessi vältel midagi muutunud, olgugi et kontseptsiooni olevat tõepoolest mitu korda modifitseeritud.
As regards the doubts as to the viability of the restructuring measures, CWP considered that extension of the phosphate product range could be achieved by the construction of a new fluidised-bed dryer (Wirbelschichttrockner) for the production of water-free phosphates.
Kahtluste kohta ümberstruktureerimismeetmete kandejõulisuses on CWP arvamusel, et tootepaleti laiendamine fosfaatide valdkonnas on saavutatav uue pööriskuivati installeerimisega veevabade fosfaatide tootmiseks.
Regarding this extension, it stated that the extraction installation would allow it to produce the same products with the same quality and at lower costs than with the thermal process, without becoming dependent on supplies of elemental phosphorus by third parties.
Seoses teise eesmärgiga, toorainebaasi avardamisega, nentis CWP, et ekstraheerimisrajatisega saab sama kvaliteedi ja madalamate kuludega toota samu tooteid nagu termilisel meetodil, sõltumata seejuures elementaarse fosfori tarnetest kolmandatelt osapooltelt.
Responding to CFB’s comment that TI successfully produced phosphoric acid using the thermal process, CWP pointed out that TI was not dependent on supplies of elemental phosphor as this is produced by the company itself.
CFB märkuse kohta, et TI tootvat fosforhappeid edukalt termilisel meetodil, selgitab CWP, et TI ei olevat sõltuv elementaarse fosfori tarnetest, kuna ta valmistab neid ise.
In addition, TI can keep costs low, particularly electricity costs (which accounted for the bulk of the costs of producing elemental phosphor) because one of TI’s shareholders operated a nuclear power station and TI could buy electricity at preferential rates.
Samuti saavat TI ennekõike elektrikulu (mis moodustab suurima osa elementaarse fosfori tootmiskuludest) madalal hoida, kuna üks TI osanikest omab tuumajõujaama ning TI saab elektrivoolu soodushindadega.
Hence the situations of TI and CWP were quite different.
Seetõttu olevat TI sootuks teises olukorras kui CWP.
As regards the doubts as to the success of the restructuring plan, CWP considered that the measures undertaken represented a classical restructuring of a company.
Kahtluste kohta ümberstruktureerimiskontseptsiooni edus selgitab CWP, et algatatud meetmed kujutavad endast ettevõtte klassikalist ümberstruktureerimist.
In its view, constructing the two installations was a decision that would prove profitable.
Mõlema rajatise ehitamine olevat olnud kasumit suurendav otsus.
In particular, the extraction installation was expected to reduce production costs by 7 % compared with the thermal process and to achieve a net capital yield of 23 %.
Eelkõige loodetavat, et ekstraheerimisrajatisega on võimalik vähendada tootmiskulusid termilise meetodiga võrreldes 7 % võrra ning saavutada netokapitali tulumäär 23 %.
The first tests with the extraction installation had confirmed that the quality of the phosphoric acid produced was as good as that using the thermal process.
Esimesed katsetused olevat näidanud, et ekstraheerimisrajatisega saab toota sama kvaliteediga fosforhapet nagu termilisel meetodil.
Moreover, CWP noted that other competitors, notably Prayon-Rupel, had announced the construction of an extraction installation six times larger than CWP’s.
Järgnevas märgib CWP, et teised konkurendid, iseäranis Prayon-Rupel, on teatanud ekstraheerimisrajatise ehitamisest, mis on kuus korda suurem kui CWP rajatis.
The delays in constructing the extraction installation were caused by supply problems and not because the installation was impracticable.
Viivitused ekstraheerimisrajatise ehitamisel olevat tingitud tarneprobleemidest ja mitte seetõttu, et rajatis polevat teostatav.
CWP stated that this installation was now 90 % complete and that one institution was interested in obtaining a licence for the know-how.
Rajatis olevat nüüd 90 % ulatuses valmis ning leiduvat üks institutsioon, kes olevat huvitatud oskusteabe litsentsist.
Furthermore, CWP considered that there were no distortions of competition.
Edasises on CWP arvamusel, et konkurentsi moonutamist pole olemas.
It pointed out that, in an update of the study ‘The Market for Industrial and Food Phosphates’ for the years 1998 to 2002, CRU International Ltd. had forecast that, whilst the industry was likely to have sufficient capacity overall to meet demand in 2003, there would be significant regional imbalances which would have to be corrected.
CWP viitab sellele, et uuringu “The Market for Industrial and Food Phosphates” aktualiseerimisel prognoosis CRU International Ltd aastate 1998–2002 kohta, et samal ajal, kui 2003. aastal leidub tööstuses arvatavasti piisavalt võimsust turunõudluse rahuldamiseks, tekivad märkimisväärsed regionaalsed ebavõrdsused, mida tuleb korrigeerida.
Overcapacity for industrial and food-grade phosphates existed only ‘on paper’ since, according to the report, the installations were in very bad condition and had to be renovated.
Tööstuslike- ja toiduainetetööstuses kasutatavate fosfaatide võimsusülejääk eksisteerivat ainult paberil, kuna vastavalt antud aruandele on rajatised väga halvas seisukorras ning vajavad uuendamist.
Moreover, CWP’s market share on the relevant markets, as described in recitals 62 and 63, was insignificant.
Edasi olevat CWP turuosa olemasolevatel turgudel, nagu põhjenduste 62 ja 63 all kirjeldatud, tähtsusetu.
CWP also stated that it never sold below market prices.
Peale selle ei olevat CWP müünud mitte kunagi alla turuhindade.
CWP went on to state that BK Giulini was not a direct competitor.
Edasises märgib CWP, et BK Giulini ei ole otsene konkurent.
The company, which produced special phosphates, had bought more than two thirds of CWP’s phosphate production in 2000 and was interested in taking over CWP’s production of phosphoric acid and phosphates.
Ettevõte, mis tootvat spetsiaalfosfaate, olevat 2000. aastal ostnud rohkem kui kaks kolmandikku CWP fosfaaditoodangust ning olnud huvitatud CWP fosforhappe ja fosfaatide tootmisvaldkonna ülevõtmisest.
In CWP’s view, the aid had not had any impact on BK Giulini.
CWP arvamusel ei mõjuta abi BK Giulinit mitte mingil viisil.
As regards the private contribution to the restructuring, CWP stated that it was not able to finance the restructuring plan fully out of its own funds because of the high raw material costs.
Ümberstruktureerimiseks tehtud omapanuse kohta selgitab CWP, et ettevõte ei olnud kõrgete toormaterjalikulude tõttu võimeline ümberstruktureerimist täiel määral omavahenditest finantseerima.
However, it did contribute substantially.
Siiski saadi sellest oluline osa.
According to CWP, by the end of 2002 privately financed investments amounted to EUR 5,11 million (DEM 10 million).
CWP andmete kohaselt ulatusid eraviisiliselt finantseeritud investeeringud 5,11 mln euroni (10 mln Saksa margani).
All the loans granted to the company, including those guaranteed by the BvS and the Land, were to be regarded as a private contribution to the restructuring since CWP paid interest and intended to repay them by selling the assets linked to phosphate production to TI.
Kõik ettevõttele antud laenud – ka BvSi ja liidumaa käendusega tagatud – olevat hinnatavad omapanusena ettevõtte ümberstruktureerimiseks, kuna CWP tasuvat intresse ja kavatsevat laenude tagasimaksmist fosfaaditootmise rajatiste TI-le müümisel saadavast tulust.
As regards the identification of the aid beneficiary, CWP stated that it has not been incorporated into TI.
Toetusesaaja identiteedi kohta märgib CWP, et ettevõte ei ole olnud TIsse integreeritud.
After the sale of the phosphate division to TI, there will be two independent companies operating on CWP’s site, with TI being active in the phosphate business and CWP in phosphoric acid production.
Pärast fosfaadiäri müüki TI-le on CWP asukohas kaks sõltumatut ettevõtet: TI hakkab tegutsema fosfaadiäris ja CWP fosforhappe tootmises.
Contrary to the opinion of CFB, CWP had never supplied any thermal phosphoric acid to TI.
Vastupidiselt CFB ütlusele ei olevat CWP mitte kunagi termilisi fosforhappeid TI-le tarninud.
Moreover, CWP was the sole beneficiary of the aid.
Lisaks sellele olevat CWP ainus abisaaja.
In its response to the initiation of the formal investigation procedure, Germany submitted information on the amendments to the restructuring plan, as described in recitals 42 to 44.
Vastuses formaalse kontrollmenetluse algatamisele edastas Saksamaa põhjenduste 42–44 all kirjeldatud andmed ümberstruktureerimiskontseptsiooni modifitseerimise kohta.
It also provided information on all financial measures taken by the public authorities and made available to the company during privatisation and throughout the restructuring period, as described in recitals 17 to 34.
Saksamaa andis informatsiooni ka kõigi avaliku sektori finantsmeetmete kohta, mida ettevõtte jaoks erastamise ja ümberstruktureerimise kestel välja töötati, nagu on kirjeldatud põhjenduste 17–34 all.
The details on the private contribution to the restructuring given in recitals 50 to 57 and the company’s management reports for the period 1994 to 2000 and market data were also submitted.
Samuti esitati põhjenduste 50–57 all välja toodud andmed ümberstruktureerimiseks tehtud omapanuse kohta, nagu ka ettevõtte äritulemuste aruanded aastatest 1994–2000 ja turuinformatsioon.
As regards the comments from third parties, Germany refers to CWP’s reaction, which was reported by letter of 8 October 2002.
Seoses kolmandate osapoolte arvamustega viitab Saksamaa CWP reageeringule, mis anti üle 8. oktoobri 2002. aasta kirjaga.
In its response to the information injunction, Germany provided information on the compatibility of existing aid measures with the schemes under which they had purportedly been awarded.
Vastuses informeerimiskorraldusele esitas Saksamaa andmed selle kohta, et kehtivad abimeetmed on kooskõlas reglementidega, mille alusel neid öeldatavasti ellu viidi.
It also indicated that the process should be divided between the phosphates business, which it regards as having been successfully restructured, and the remaining business areas of CWP, mainly the production of phosphoric acid via the extraction installation, which would be successful once TI had paid the outstanding amount of the price.
Järgnevalt tegi Saksamaa ettepaneku menetluse liigendamiseks fosfaatide valdkonnaks, mis Saksamaa vaatekohast oli edukalt restruktureeritud, ja CWP ülejäänud ärivaldkondadeks, peamiselt fosforhappe tootmiseks ekstraheerimisrajatise abil, mis toimiksid edukalt niipea, kui TI ostuhinna tasuda oleva osa ära maksab.
Some of the measures to be assessed were already examined in the previous decision annulled by the Court of First Instance; a number of them had been notified at the initial stage of the project in accordance with Article 93(3) of the EC Treaty (now Article 88(3)), while others had been implemented before the Commission decision.
Mõningad hinnatavad meetmed vaadati läbi juba varajasemas otsuses, mis esimese astme kohtu poolt annulleeriti; mõned nendest meetmetest olid otsuse langetamise alguseks registreeritud kooskõlas Euroopa Ühenduse asutamislepingu artikli 93 lõikega 3 (praegu Euroopa Ühenduse asutamislepingu artikkel 88 lõige 3), samal ajal kui teisi meetmeid enne komisjoni otsust muudeti.
Yet others were not examined in the annulled decision or were prolonged or extended after that decision.
Seevastu muid meetmeid ei vaadatud annulleeritud otsuses läbi või neid pikendati või täiendati pärast nimetatud otsuse vastuvõtmist.
In examining each measure, the Commission will look at the situation prevailing at the time of the first decision as far as the notified measures are concerned and at the situation when the financial support measures were taken as far as the non-notified measures are concerned.
Üksikute meetmete läbivaatamiseks asetab komisjon ennast registreeritud meetmete korral esimese otsuse tegemise ajal valitsenud olukorra raamidesse ning mitteregistreeritud meetmete puhul sellesse ajavahemikku, mille vältel rahalisi toetusmeetmeid tarvitusele võeti.
However, it will have to give an overall assessment of the restructuring, taking into account all the relevant developments in the factual situation up to the time when the last measures were taken.
Sellele vaatamata peab komisjon siiski ette võtma ka ümberstruktureerimise koguhindamise, mis arvestab faktide kõiki olulisi arenguid kuni viimaste meetmete rakendamise ajahetkeni.
The relevant undertaking
Asjaomane ettevõte
Following the information injunction, Germany provided extensive information on the shareholder structure of CWP.
Seoses informeerimiskorraldusega edastas Saksamaa üksikasjalikud andmed CWP osanike struktuuri kohta.
It transpires that in 2002 CWP, together with the Vopelius Group, including Mr Vopelius, who holds 75,2 % of the capital, employed a workforce of 100, possessed assets totalling EUR 25,81 million (DEM 50,48 million) and had a turnover of EUR 22,36 million (DEM 43,73 million).
Sellest lähtub, et 2002. aastal andis CWP koos Vopelius-Grupiga, kaasa arvatud härra Vopelius, kellele kuulub 75,2 % kapitalist, tööd 100 inimesele. Ettevõtte varade väärtuseks oli 25,81 mln eurot (50,48 mln Saksa marka) ja käibe suuruseks 22,36 mln eurot (43,73 mln Saksa marka).
Accordingly, the thresholds specified in the Commission recommendation 96/280/EC of 3 April 1996 concerning the definition of small and medium-sized enterprises [16] are not exceeded.
Järelikult ei ületata komisjoni 3. aprilli 1996 soovituses 96/280/EÜ kindlaks määratud piirväärtusi väikese ja keskmise suurusega ettevõtte definitsiooni jaoks. [16]
As regards the BVT group, which holds the remaining 24,8 % of the shares, Germany states that it should be regarded as an institutional investor since it provides only risk capital and does not exert control over the operations of CWP.
BvT-Grupi kohta, kelle käes on ülejäänud 24,8 % osakutest, teatab Saksamaa, et see grupp on vaadeldav institutsionaalse investorina, kuna ta ainult annab kasutada riskikapitali, teostamata kontrolli CWP operatiivse tegevuse üle.
Consequently, CWP can be regarded as an SME.
Järelikult võib CWPd käsitleda VKEna.
CWP also ranked as an SME in the years preceding 1997 (first year for which full data are available).
Ka enne 1997. aastat (esimene aasta, mille kohta on olemas täielikud andmed) täitis CWP VKE-kriteeriumeid.
The Commission notes that, on the basis of the information available, no financial measures deriving from State resources were made available to CWP after the agreement with TI in February 2001.
Komisjon märgib, et kasutada oleva informatsiooni põhjal näib, et pärast TIga lepingu sõlmimist veebruaris 2001 pole CWP-le riiklikest allikatest finantseerimismeetmeid võimaldatud.
It has also taken note of an expert report drafted by AnChem Consult and submitted by Germany. According to that report, the agreement was concluded following an open and transparent procedure giving to all undertakings active on the relevant market in Europe the possibility to submit bids; the bid submitted by TI was selected as the economically most viable and best bid and the price paid corresponded to the market price.
Peale selle võttis komisjon teatavaks AnChem Consulti koostatud ja Saksamaa poolt üle antud eksperthinnangu, mille kohaselt: – leping sõlmiti avatud ja läbipaistva menetluse järel, milles kõikidele relevantsel turul tegutsevatele ettevõtetele Euroopas anti võimalus pakkumise tegemiseks; TI pakkumine valiti välja kui majanduslikult kõige kandejõulisem ja parim; müügihind vastab turuhinnale.
The Commission considers, therefore, that TI has not been a direct or an indirect beneficiary of the State aid for CWP.
Seetõttu on komisjon arvamusel, et CWP-le antud riigiabi pole TI-le ei otseselt ega kaudselt kasuks tulnud.
Existing aid
Olemasolev abi
A number of measures allegedly constitute existing aid and need not be reassessed by the Commission.
Mitmed meetmed kujutavad endast väidetavasti olemasolevat abi ega kuulu komisjoni poolt uuesti hindamisele.
The compatibility of these measures with the schemes under which they were allegedly granted should though be examined.
Seevastu peab kontrollima nende meetmete kooskõlalisust reglementidega, mille alusel neid väidetavalt tarvitusele võeti.
Measures 1, 2 and 3: As the company had some 70 employees at the time of privatisation, Germany regards any aid granted within this context as being covered by THA scheme N 768/94 [17].
Meetmed 1, 2 ja 3: kuna ettevõttes oli erastamise ajal tegev umbes 70 töötajat, siis kuulub Saksamaa arvates iga selles kontekstis antud abi THA-režiimi N 768/94 [17] alla.
The Commission acknowledges that the company had fewer than 250 employees at the time of privatisation.
Komisjon tunnistab õigeks, et ettevõttes töötas erastamise ajal vähem kui 250 inimest.
These measures do not, therefore, need to be notified to the Commission and are to be regarded as constituting existing aid.
Järelikult ei vajanud need meetmed komisjonile teatamist ning nad on käsitatavad olemasoleva abina.
Measure 1a: As the granting of the guarantee is covered by the THA scheme, the possibility of converting this guarantee into a loan or grant had been envisaged from the outset because the company was already in difficulties.
Meede 1a: kuna käenduse garanteerimine käib THA-režiimi alla ja ettevõte oli juba raskustesse sattunud, siis peeti algusest saadik silmas tagatissumma laenuks või toetuseks ümbermuutmise võimalust.
This is consistently acknowledged in the three THA schemes that constitute the legal basis for the granting of the guarantee.
Sellist tegevuskava tunnustatakse üksmeelselt kolmes THA-režiimis, mis moodustavad käenduse andmise õigusliku aluse.
The decision on THA scheme E 15/92 explicitly states that loans and guarantees provided by the THA are increasingly likely to be converted into grants [18].
Otsuses THA-režiimi E 15/92 kohta tähendab see sõnaselgelt, et THA antud laen ja tagatissumma on üha suuremal määral sobilikud toetuseks ümbermuutumiseks.
Conversion of the guarantee into a loan and grant was already covered by the THA scheme and cannot therefore be classified as new aid.
Tagatissumma ümbermuutmine laenuks või toetuseks oli juba THA-režiimiga kaetud ning järelikult ei saa seda käsitada uue abina.
Measures 9 and 10: After the initiation of the formal investigation procedure, Germany stated for the first time that these guarantees had been granted under a scheme approved by the Commission for the rescue and restructuring of firms in difficulty [19].
Meetmed 9 ja 10: pärast formaalse kontrollmenetluse algatamist teatas Saksamaa esimest korda, et neid garantiisid anti programmi alusel, mis oli saanud komisjonilt kinnituse raskustes olevate ettevõtete päästmiseks ja ümberstruktureerimiseks.
