Financial guarantee amounts set for Iberpotash
Iznosi financijskih jamstava određeni za Iberpotash
On the basis of these national rules, Iberpotash obtained from the Generalitat de Catalunya a permit to operate its extractive activity of potash on its site in Súria on 9 November 2006 and on its site in Balsareny/Sallent on 28 April 2008.
Na temelju tih nacionalnih propisa Iberpotash je od katalonske vlade dobio dozvolu za vađenje potaše na lokaciji Súria 9. studenoga 2006. i na lokaciji Balsareny/Sallent 28. travnja 2008.
These permits constitute individual administrative decisions which set the financial guarantees to EUR 1130128 for the site in Balsareny/Sallent and EUR 773682,28 (increased to EUR 828013,24 in 2008) for the site in Súria.
Te dozvole pojedinačne su administrativne odluke kojima se odredilo financijsko jamstvo za lokaciju Balsareny/Sallent u iznosu od 1130128 EUR, a za lokaciju Súria u iznosu od 773682,28 EUR (povećano 2008. na 828013,24 EUR).
These amounts of the guarantees have been revised only in 2015, when the Spanish authorities proposed significantly higher levels amounting to EUR 6979471,83 for the site in Balsareny/Sallent (effective only after the approval by the Higher Court of Justice of Catalonia in December 2016 — see below) and EUR 6160872,35 for the site in Súria (effective as of May 2015).
Ti iznosi jamstava revidirani su tek 2015. kada su španjolska nadležna tijela predložila znatno veće iznose od 6979471,83 EUR za lokaciju Balsareny/Sallent (na snazi tek nakon odobrenja Višeg suda Katalonije u prosincu 2016., vidjeti u nastavku) odnosno 6160872,35 EUR za lokaciju u općini Súria (na snazi od svibnja 2015.).
The amounts of guarantees were set by individual and specific decisions adopted by the Generalitat addressed to Iberpotash.
Iznosi jamstava određeni su pojedinačnim i posebnim odlukama upućenima poduzetniku Iberpotash koje je donijela katalonska vlada.
Evidence that Ibepotash's guarantee amounts are lower than required
Dokazi da su financijska jamstva poduzetnika Iberpotash niža od propisanih
In this respect it needs to be stressed that it is first for the competent environmental authorities to determine and approve the amounts of the financial guarantees under national or regional rules applicable to the case at hand.
U tom pogledu treba naglasiti da nadležno tijelo za zaštitu okoliša prvo mora odrediti i odobriti iznose financijskih jamstava utvrđenih nacionalnim ili regionalnim propisima primjenjivima na predmet pred njime.
Even though the Commission is responsible for safeguarding the correct transposition and implementation of the Extractive Waste Directive, which is applicable to Iberpotash's financial guarantees as of 1 May 2014, this Directive leaves a significant discretion to the Member States in determining the exact amount of the guarantees.
Iako je Komisija odgovorna za zaštitu ispravnog prijenosa i provedbe Direktive o otpadu od industrija vađenja minerala, koja je primjenjiva na financijska jamstva poduzetnika Iberpotash od 1. svibnja 2014., tom Direktivom ostavljeno je državama članicama znatno prostora za određivanje točnog iznosa jamstava.
For this reason, the Commission has not engaged in its own evaluation of the correct levels of the financial guarantees according to the Extractive Waste Directive but limits its assessment to evaluating the existing evidence of the insufficiency of the financial guarantees.
Zbog toga se Komisija nije upuštala u vlastitu procjenu ispravnog iznosa financijskih jamstava na temelju Direktive o otpadu od industrija vađenja minerala, nego je ograničila svoju procjenu na evaluaciju postojećih dokaza o nedostatnosti financijskih jamstava.
In fact, there is a number of pieces of evidence suggesting that the amount of the financial guarantees as set by the public authorities in 2006 and 2008 was actually lower than required under the applicable legislation.
Riječ je o nizu dokaza koji ukazuju na to da je iznos financijskih jamstava koji su 2006. i 2008. odredila tijela javne vlasti zapravo bio niži od onoga koji je propisan primjenjivim zakonodavstvom.
Most importantly, the Higher Court of Justice of Catalonia (Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Cataluña) ruled on 11 October 2011 that the amount of the financial guarantee for Iberpotash's Cogulló waste heap at its site of Balsareny/Sallent amounting to EUR 585153 was lower than required.
Što je važnije, Viši sud Katalonije (Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Cataluña) presudio je 11. listopada 2011. da je iznos financijskog jamstva od 585153 EUR za jalovište Cogulló poduzetnika Iberpotash na lokaciji Balsareny/Sallent niži od propisanog.
The judgment rules that the amount of the guarantee does not respect the legal and regulatory parameters set by the national legislation, referring in particular to Article 8(2) of Law 12/1981 and Decree 202/1994.
Presudom je odlučeno da iznos jamstva nije u skladu s pravnim i regulatornim parametrima utvrđenima nacionalnim zakonodavstvom, a posebno se upućuje na članak 8. stavak 2. Zakona 12/1981 i Uredbu 202/1994.
The judgment states that, even in the absence of any conclusive proof (‘una prueba concluyemente determinada’) of the correct amount of the guarantee, the Court is able to conclude that the guarantee amount set to only EUR 585153 is clearly not in line with these legal provisions.
U presudi se navodi da je, unatoč nedostatku nepobitnih dokaza („una prueba concluyemente determinada”) o ispravnom iznosu jamstva, Sud mogao zaključiti da iznos jamstva od 585153 EUR očito nije u skladu s tim pravnim odredbama.
The court thus declares the guarantee as insufficient and not in line with the applicable legislation and orders the Spanish authorities to set a new level of the financial guarantee.
Sud je stoga jamstvo proglasio nedostatnim i nesukladnim s primjenjivim zakonodavstvom te naredio španjolskim nadležnim tijelima da odrede novi iznos financijskog jamstva.
This judgment was fully confirmed on appeal by the judgment of the Supreme Court (Tribunal Supremo) of 9 July 2014.
Ta je presuda nakon žalbi konačno potvrđena presudom Vrhovnog suda (Tribunal Supremo) od 9. srpnja 2014.
Finally, as noted by the Spanish authorities, by its finding of 14 December 2016, the Higher Court of Justice of Catalonia confirmed that a newly proposed amount of EUR 6979471,83 for the whole site at Balsareny/Sallent was adequate.
Naposljetku, kao što su španjolska nadležna tijela već navela, Viši sud Katalonije svojom je odlukom od 14. prosinca 2016. potvrdio da je novopredloženi iznos od 6979471,83 EUR za cijelu lokaciju Balsareny/Sallent odgovarajući.
In view of the national judgment of the Higher Court of Justice of Catalonia of 11 October 2011 authoritatively interpreting the relevant national rules, the Commission considers as demonstrated that the original amount of the financial guarantee for Iberpotash's site at Balsareny/Sallent set in 2006 at the level of EUR 1130128 (including EUR 585153 for the Cogulló waste heap) was significantly insufficient.
Kad je riječ o nacionalnoj presudi Višeg suda Katalonije od 11. listopada 2011. kojom se vjerodostojno tumače mjerodavni nacionalni propisi, Komisija smatra da je, kao što je pokazano, izvorno financijsko jamstvo za rudnik poduzetnika Iberpotash na lokaciji Balsareny/Sallent određeno 2006. u iznosu od 1130128 EUR (uključujući 585153 EUR za jalovište Cogulló) bilo nedostatno u znatnoj mjeri.
By its finding of 2016, the Higher Court of Justice of Catalonia confirmed that the overall amount for Balsareny/Sallent should have actually been set at a level which is at least six times higher, and most likely even higher for the period preceding the announcement of the Plan Phoenix in 2011 — see recitals 73, 80 and 81 below.
Svojom odlukom iz 2016. Viši sud Katalonije potvrdio je da je sveukupni iznos za lokaciju Balsareny/Sallent trebao biti barem šest puta viši, a vjerojatno i još viši u razdoblju prije najave Plana Phoenix 2011. godine (vidjeti u nastavku uvodne izjave 73., 80. i 81.).
Even though there is no similar court ruling with respect to the guarantee for the site in Súria, there is convincing evidence that the finding of clear insufficiency of the level of guarantee would have been equally probable in case of any court action.
Iako ne postoji druga slična sudska odluka o jamstvu za lokaciju Súria, postoje uvjerljivi dokazi da je jednako vjerojatno da bi se u bilo kojem sudskom postupku donijela odluka o očitoj nedostatnosti iznosa jamstva.
The amount of the original guarantee of EUR 773682,28 (increased to EUR 828013,24 in 2008) reflects proportionally the fact that the site at Súria is smaller than at Balsareny/Sallent as regards the mass of the waste accumulated and the total area of the waste heaps.
Iznos izvornoga jamstva od 773682,28 EUR (povećan na 828013,24 EUR 2008.) razmjeran je veličini lokacije Súria, koja je manja od lokacije Balsareny/Sallent kad je riječ o količini nataloženog otpada i ukupnoj površini jalovišta.
Further, the guarantee for Suria has been significantly increased to EUR 6160872,35 at the same time as for Balsareny/Sallent (i.e. only after the order of the court and its confirmation on appeal) and by even higher proportion (more than seven times higher).
Nadalje, jamstvo za lokaciju Súria znatno je povećano na 6160872,35 EUR u isto vrijeme kada je povećano jamstvo za lokaciju Balsareny/Sallent (odnosno tek nakon naloga suda i njegove potvrde nakon žalbi) i to čak u većem omjeru (više od sedam puta viši iznos).
Therefore, in the absence of any other factors explaining the difference of the amounts of the guarantees for Súria on the one hand and Balsareny/Sallent on the other hand, the amount of the guarantee for Súria can also be considered as insufficient.
Stoga se, u nedostatku drugih čimbenika kojima bi se objasnila razlika u iznosima jamstava za lokaciju Súria s jedne strane i lokaciju Balsareny/Sallent s druge strane, i iznos jamstva za lokaciju Súria može smatrati nedostatnim.
Both the Spanish authorities and Iberpotash confirm in their submissions that the Higher Court of Justice of Catalonia has considered that the guarantee for El Cogulló was insufficient.
I španjolska nadležna tijela i Iberpotash svojim podnescima potvrđuju da je Viši sud Katalonije smatrao da je jamstvo za El Cogulló nedostatno.
They attempt at mitigating the court's judgment by claiming that: (i) the court acknowledged that, at least partly, the situation dates back to 1929, (ii) the court admitted that it has no conclusive proof, and (iii) the court allegedly did not find any concrete infringement of a particular legal norm.
Oni pokušavaju ublažiti sudsku presudom tvrdnjom da: i. sud je potvrdio da situacija datira još od 1929., ii. sud je priznao da ne postoje nepobitni dokazi i iii. sud navodno nije utvrdio nikakvu konkretnu povredu određenog pravnog propisa.
However, none of these arguments with respect to the judgment affect the finding of insufficiency of the guarantee.
No nijedna od tih primjedbi o presudi ne utječu na zaključak o nedostatnosti jamstva.
The fact that the Spanish authorities in fact reviewed the guarantee amount following the confirmation of the judgment in appeal and submitted it for approval to the court confirms the relevance of the judgment.
Činjenica da su španjolska nadležna tijela revidirala iznos jamstva nakon što je presuda potvrđena u žalbenom postupku i podnijela ga na odobrenje sudu potvrđuje mjerodavnost te presude.
In addition, the judgment of 11 October 2011 explicitly refers to the relevant legislative provisions set out in Article 8(2) of Law 12/1981 and in Decree 202/1994.
Osim toga, presuda od 11. listopada 2011. izričito se odnosi na mjerodavne zakonodavne odredbe utvrđene člankom 8. stavkom 2. Zakona 12/1981 i propisane Uredbom 202/1994.
In addition to the authoritative finding by a national court, the investigation has revealed several other pieces of evidence corroborating the finding that the original level of the financial guarantees was unduly low.
Osim mjerodavne presude nacionalnog suda istragom je otkriveno nekoliko drugih dokaza koji potvrđuju zaključak da je izvorni iznos financijskih jamstava bio neopravdano nizak.
First, third parties have submitted official transcripts from the hearing before the Environmental Committee of the Catalan Parliament of 2 October 2013 with explicit statements of the Director-General for Environment at the Generalitat de Catalunya according to which the guarantees were clearly insufficient.
Prvo, treće strane dostavile su službene prijepise saslušanja pred Odborom za zaštitu okoliša Katalonskog parlamenta od 2. listopada 2013. u kojem se navodi izričita izjava glavne ravnateljice Uprave za zaštitu okoliša katalonske vlade da su predmetna jamstva očito nedostatna.
The Director-General suggested that the required guaranteed amount could possibly reach up to EUR 200 million.
Glavna ravnateljica navela je da bi potreban jamstveni iznos mogao doseći 200 milijuna EUR.
Even though the transcripts of a political discussion in parliament do not contain any relevant justification for the amount advanced, and thus need to be treated cautiously, the orders of magnitude and difference with the actual amount do confirm the conclusions reached by experts in the field, who considered the amount of the guarantees set in 2006 and 2008 as clearly insufficient.
Iako se u prijepisima političke rasprave u parlamentu ne navodi nikakvo odgovarajuće opravdanje tog predloženog iznosa pa ih se mora uzeti u obzir s oprezom, naloženo povećanje iznosa i razlika između povećanog i početnog iznosa potvrđuju zaključke stručnjaka u tom području koji su smatrali da su iznosi jamstava određeni 2006. i 2008. očito bili nedostatni.
Second, the Complainant submitted a study of August 2012 that it commissioned from environmental experts (‘ERF Study’).
Drugo, podnositelj pritužbe dostavio je studiju iz kolovoza 2012. za čiju je izradu angažirao stručnjake za zaštitu okoliša („studija ERF-a”).
The study is an expert survey analysing and compiling extensive existing information (legal, academic or resulting from market investigation) on the relevant topic.
Studija je stručno ispitivanje u kojem se analiziraju i objedinjuju postojeće opsežne informacije (pravne, akademske ili nastale istraživanjem tržišta) o predmetnoj temi.
The ERF Study analysed the existing situation as regards the environmental impact of Iberpotash's mining sites and forecasted future developments as regards the total amount of material accumulated on the waste heaps.
U studiji ERF-a analizirala se postojeća situacija u pogledu učinaka lokacija rudnika poduzetnika Iberpotash na okoliš i predviđene buduće promjene količine materijala nataloženog na jalovištima.
It concludes that the environmental impacts of the waste heaps were significant and expected to further grow in the future.
U njoj se zaključuje da jalovišta imaju znatan učinak na okoliš i očekuje se njihov daljnji rast u budućnosti.
Based on available information, the ERF Study estimates the following evolution of the volume of waste accumulated on waste heaps in Suria and Sallent till the end of the mining activities in 2035:
Na temelju dostupnih informacija procjenjuje se da će se količina otpada nataloženog na jalovištima na lokacijama Súria i Sallent do završetka rudarskih radova 2035. kretati na sljedeći način:
Estimated accumulation of the waste on the heaps in Suria and Sallent

Further, the ERF Study analyses possible options for restoration of the waste heaps including: (i) backfilling of the waste material in the underground mines, (ii) dissolution of the salt contained in the waste heaps by pumping water and disposal of the resulting brine either to the sea or underground, or (iii) covering the waste heaps with material preventing infiltration of rain water and preventing leaks of salts in the environment.
Nadalje, u studiji ERF-a analiziraju se mogućnosti sanacije jalovišta, uključujući: i. zatrpavanje otpadnog materijala u podzemnim rudnicima, ii. otapanje soli sadržane u jalovištima dodavanjem vode i odlaganjem nastale slane vode u more ili podzemlje ili iii. prekrivanje jalovišta materijalima koji sprečavaju ulazak kišnice i curenje soli u okoliš.
It concludes that in the situation of Iberpotash's sites the most appropriate method is the covering of the waste heaps.
U njoj se zaključuje da je najprikladnija metoda za rješavanje situacije u rudnicima poduzetnika Iberpotash prekrivanje jalovišta.
It is a rather simple and well known method since it has been already used in a number of cases, even by the Catalan authorities themselves.
Riječ je o relativno jednostavnoj i dobro poznatoj metodi koja se već upotrebljava u mnogim slučajevima, čak je upotrebljavaju i katalonska nadležna tijela.
In addition, it is the most appropriate method for restoration by public administrations in case the mining company does not fulfil its obligations since, contrary to other methods, it does not require any additional installation of significant industrial infrastructure.
Osim toga, to je metoda sanacije koja je najprikladnija za tijela javne uprave kada rudarsko društvo ne ispuni svoje obveze jer, za razliku od drugih metoda, za nju nije potrebno postavljanje značajnije industrijske infrastrukture.
Therefore, the ERF Study calculates the expected costs of restoration of Iberpotash's sites by covering the heaps.
Stoga se u studiji ERF-a izračun očekivanih troškova sanacije rudnika poduzetnika Iberpotash odnosi na prekrivanje jalovišta.
The calculation of the expected costs is based on the analysis of the unit costs of the individual components of the covering for the waste heap resulting from a market research by the experts with suppliers of various works and supplies involved and using the 2012 pricing data published by the Catalan Institute of Technology and Construction (Institut de Tecnologia de la Construcció de Catalunya — ITeC).
Izračun očekivanih troškova temelji se na analizi jediničnih cijena pojedinačnih sastavnica postupka prekrivanja jalovišta koje su izvedene iz istraživanja tržišta koje su stručnjaci proveli među izvođačima različitih radova i dobavljačima te iz podataka o cijenama iz 2012. koje je objavio Katalonski tehnološki i građevinski zavod (Institut de Tecnologia de la Construcció de Catalunya – ITeC).
For comparison, the study also uses overall costs of restorations for different restoration options as estimated in the study prepared in 2001 by Symonds Group for DG Environment of the European Commission.
Za potrebe usporedbe u studiji se navode i procijenjeni opći troškovi različitih vrsta sanacija izračunati u studiji koju je 2001. za GU za okoliš pripremilo društvo Symonds Group.
It also includes the costs of maintenance and control of the covered heaps for additional 10 years after the finalisation of the covering.
Navode se i troškovi održavanja i nadzora prekrivenih jalovišta u razdoblju od 10 godina od završetka prekrivanja.
These unit costs are then applied to the estimated amount of the waste material on the heaps in three different moments in time: (i) actual amounts in 2012, (ii) amounts expected in 2015 (year of the expected start of the production of salt from the waste material in a new plant in Suria), and (iii) amounts expected in 2035 (when the mining activities of Iberpotash are planned to be stopped).
Te jedinične cijene tada se primjenjuju na procijenjenu količinu otpadnog materijala na jalovištima u trima različitim razdobljima: i. stvarne količine 2012., ii. količine očekivane u 2015. (godina kada se očekuje početak proizvodnje soli iz otpadnog materijala u novom postrojenju na lokaciji Súria) i iii. količine očekivane u 2035.
The resulting total costs of restoration in these periods are summarised in the following table:
(kada je planiran završetak rudarskih radova poduzetnika Iberpotash). Sažeti pregled izračunatih ukupnih troškova sanacije u tim razdobljima nalazi se u sljedećoj tablici:
Estimated restoration costs according to the ERF Study
Procijenjeni troškovi sanacije prema studiji ERF-a
Estimated restoration costs (EUR million)
Procijenjeni troškovi sanacije (u milijunima EUR)
On this basis, the ERF Study considers that the amount of the financial guarantee based on the new legislative rules of the Royal Decree 975/2009 should definitely not be lower than the basic costs of restoration in 2012 amounting to EUR 71 million for both sites and its appropriate amount, taking into account the total costs in the future, should rather be around EUR 100 million.
Na temelju toga u studiji ERF-a utvrđuje se da u skladu s novim zakonodavnim odredbama iz Kraljevske uredbe 975/2009 iznos financijskog jamstva ne smije nikako biti niži od osnovnih troškova sanacije u 2012. koji iznose 71 milijun EUR za obje lokacije te da bi njihov odgovarajući iznos trebao biti otprilike 100 milijuna EUR uzimajući u obzir ukupne troškove u budućnosti.
Finally, the ERF Study analyses the impact of the planned extraction and commercialisation of the salt in the heaps based on the newly announced Plan Phoenix that started to be implemented in 2012.
Naposljetku, u studiji ERF-a analizira se učinak planiranog vađenja i komercijalizacije soli iz jalovišta na temelju novonajavljenog Plana Phoenix čija je provedba počela 2012.
Taking into account various scenarios as regards the expected production of potash and salt in the future (including the most ambitious plans of Iberpotash to sell annually 1,5 million tonnes of salt), the ERF Study concludes that under any of those scenarios, the Plan Phoenix would only slow down but not stop the continued annual growth of the total waste material accumulated at Iberpotash's sites.
Uzimajući u obzir različite scenarije očekivane proizvodnje potaše i soli u budućnosti (uključujući najambicioznije planove poduzetnika Iberpotash da se godišnje proda 1,5 milijuna tona soli), u studiji ERF-a zaključuje se da će Plan Phoenix u svim tim scenarijima samo usporiti, no ne i zaustaviti stalan godišnji rast ukupnog otpadnog materijala nataloženog na lokacijama poduzetnika Iberpotash.
In the most optimistic scenario, the Plan Phoenix would lead to a reduction of the total waste material deposited on the heaps to 1213 kt per year (compared to 1979 kt per year without the Plan Phoenix).
Prema najoptimističnijem scenariju Plan Phoenix doveo bi do smanjenja ukupnog otpadnog materijala odloženog u jalovišta od 1213 kt godišnje (u usporedbi s 1979 kt godišnje bez Plana Phoenix).
Therefore, while the Plan Phoenix has an appreciable impact by reducing the annual waste accumulation by up to almost 40 %, the ERF Study considers that the Plan Phoenix cannot be considered as a self-sufficient restoration measure, but rather as a mitigating factor, since it will at most lead to slow down of the growth of the existing waste heaps but not to their elimination.
Stoga se u studiji ERF zaključuje da se, unatoč tomu što ima primjetan učinak smanjenja godišnjeg gomilanja otpada za gotovo 40 %, Plan Phoenix ne može smatrati samodostatnom mjerom sanacije nego čimbenikom smanjenja jer će u najboljem slučaju usporiti rast postojećih jalovišta, no ne i dovesti do njihova otklanjanja.
Iberpotash argues that the ERF Study cannot serve as a basis for calculating the amount of the guarantee since it itself acknowledges that it is not based on the relevant provisions of the Decree 202/1994 and since it contains a number of imprecise and incorrect statements and data.
Iberpotash tvrdi da studija ERF-a ne može poslužiti kao osnova za izračun iznosa jamstva s obzirom na to da se u njoj napominje da se ona ne temelji na mjerodavnim odredbama Uredbe 202/1994 i s obzirom na to da sadržava niz nepreciznih i netočnih izjava i podataka.
