There will be no quantity rebates.
Do upada količine ne bo prišlo.
In order to keep the fees up to date, a study into these different modes of transport will be carried out every two years.
Za zagotovitev ažurnih pristojbin se bo vsaki dve leti izdelala študija o teh načinih transporta.
As regards purchases of works and services, EPAC and PRG must comply with the procurement procedures laid down by the legislation on public procurement at Community and national level.
Glede nakupa del in storitev morata EPAC in PRG slediti nakupnim postopkom, ki jih določa zakonodaja v zvezi z javnimi nakupi na nivoju Skupnosti in na državnem nivoju.
The aid
Pomoči
Germany intends to grant a direct subsidy equal to 80 % of the calculated deficit for normal profitability (unrentierlichen investiven Kosten) for the German section of the pipeline (Pilot 2), with a ceiling of 50 % of the total investment cost.
Nemčija namerava za nemški del cevovoda („Pilot 2“) odobriti neposredno subvencijo v višini 80 % deficita, izračunanega na podlagi normalne donosnosti („unrentierlichen investiven Kosten“), s skrajno mejo 50 % celotnih stroškov naložbe.
The eligible cost is the investment cost including planning, construction and the first fill, less the income surpluses over the first 15 years based on a discounted cash flow analysis.
Dovoljeni stroški so stroški naložbe, ki vključuje načrtovanje, zgraditev in prvo polnjenje, z odbitkom povečane vrednosti v prvih petnajstih letih na osnovi analize aktualiziranega denarnega toka.
The aid would amount to EUR 18682000. According to a calculation submitted by the German authorities, this aid is equivalent to an internal rate of return (IRR) of 5,6 % when calculated over 25 years.
Pomoč bi znašala 18682000 EUR. Po izračunu, ki so ga predložile nemške oblasti, bi pomoč omogočila doseg interne stopnje donosa (ISD) v višini 5,6 % na 25 let.
The Netherlands intends to grant a subsidy of EUR 4000000, the amount needed to raise the profitability of the Dutch section of the project to an acceptable level for the industrial partners.
Nizozemska namerava odobriti subvencijo v višini 4000000 EUR. Ta znesek bi bil potreben za dvig donosnosti nizozemskega dela projekta na stopnjo, ki bi bila sprejemljiva za industrijske partnerje.
The German aid and the Dutch aid are ad hoc measures that are not part of a particular scheme.
Nemška in nizozemska pomoč predstavljata „ad hoc“ ukrepe, ki ne izhajajo iz določenih programov.
Belgium intends to grant a direct subsidy of EUR 2919480 and a five-year exemption from property tax, the benefit of which is estimated at EUR 766000.
Belgija namerava odobriti neposredno subvencijo v višini 2919480 EUR in oprostitev nepremičninskega davka za pet let, pri čemer je ugodnost ocenjena na 766000 EUR. Celotni stroški naložbe v Belgiji bi znašali 55,4 milijona EUR, od česar so 40885000 EUR belgijske oblasti priznale kot dovoljene stroške.
The total investment cost in Belgium would be EUR 55400000, of which the Belgian authorities have recognised EUR 40885000 as eligible costs, from which operating profits of EUR 16556000 have been deducted [8], leaving an eligible amount of EUR 24329000. The Belgian authorities take the view that the aid is covered by a State aid scheme approved by the Commission [9].
Od tega je bil odbit znesek 16556000 EUR prometnega dobička [8], tako da znaša dovoljeni znesek 24329000 EUR. Belgijske oblasti menijo, da pomoč sodi v program državnih pomoči, ki ga odobri Komisija [9].
The scheme provides for aid of 12 % for this type of investment, corresponding to the amount of EUR 2919480 mentioned above. Costs not eligible for aid under the scheme include costs for general research, land acquisition and commissions.
Program določa za to vrsto naložbe 12 % pomoč, kar ustreza pomoči v znesku 2919480 EUR. Stroški, za katere ni mogoče izkoriščati pomoči iz tega programa, so stroški splošne analize, nakupa zemljišč in provizije.
The Belgian aid has been notified with a view to obtaining legal certainty and providing the Commission with an overview of the investment project, together with the total amount of aid granted.
Belgijska pomoč je bila prijavljena z namenom pridobitve pravne varnosti in predložitve celovitega pregleda naložbenega projekta s celotnim zneskom odobrene pomoči Komisiji.
The three Member States have made the aid conditional on compliance with the principles of open access and non-discrimination for 25 years, i.e. the economic lifetime of the project.
Tri države članice so pomoč za 25 let oziroma za ekonomsko življenjsko dobo cevovoda pogojile s spoštovanjem načel „svobodnega dostopa“ in „nediskriminacije“.
Compliance with these principles is enshrined in the statutes of EPMC; after 25 years the statutes may be amended in this respect only by a unanimous vote of all the participants.
Spoštovanje teh načel je določeno v statutih EPMC; po obdobju 25-ih let se bodo ti statuti v tej točki lahko spremenili le s soglasjem vseh udeležencev.
A loan from the EIB of up to 30 % of the total project cost is under discussion.
Posojilo EIB do višine 30 % celotnega zneska projekta se obravnava.
The shareholders would provide own capital totalling EUR 8000000, with the remainder to be financed by banks.
Delničarji bi zagotovili 8 milijonov EUR lastniškega kapitala, preostanek naložbe pa zagotavljajo banke.
At the same time, the shareholders must bear the losses in the initial years, amounting to some EUR 38000000 until 2008, equivalent to some EUR 18000000 after interest and tax.
Hkrati s tem morajo delničarji nositi izgube v prvih letih, to je okoli 38 milijonov EUR do leta 2008, kar bi po upoštevanju obresti in prispevkov dejansko znašalo okoli 18 milijonov EUR.
The broader European olefins pipelines network
Največje evropsko cevovodno omrežje za olefine
The APPE informed the Commission of the broader olefins pipelines network of which the pipeline project at issue is part [10]. At present, there are five separate systems in Europe for ethylene.
Združenje APPE je Komisiji predložilo poročilo o največjem cevovodnem omrežju za olefine, katerega del je tudi zadevni cevovod [10].
They are not interconnected to form a complete network and link only about 50 % of the total capacity.
V Evropi je zdaj mogoče našteti pet različnih sistemov za etilen, ki medsebojno niso povezani v celovito omrežje in ki združujejo samo 50 % celotne zmogljivosti.
For propylene, there are a number of individual systems in and around the Benelux area.
Za propilen obstaja več individualnih sistemov okrog Beneluksa.
The olefins network should connect the individual systems and expand them.
Globalno omrežje za olefine naj bi te različne sisteme povezalo in razvilo.
The position paper contains several maps indicating various ongoing or projected pipeline projects that should permit completion of the overall network.
Poročilo ponuja več kart z različnimi projekti tekočih ali načrtovanih gradenj cevovodov, ki naj bi omogočile uresničitev celotnega omrežja.
Justification for the aid put forward by the German, Dutch and Belgian authorities
Utemeljitve pomoči, podane s strani nemških, nizozemskih in belgijskih oblasti
The project would be justified by environmental, transport safety and industrial policy considerations.
Projekt je opravičljiv s stališč, ki zadevajo okolje, transportno varnost in industrijsko politiko.
Environmental benefits
Prednosti za okolje
Propylene transport is expected to increase significantly, putting pressure on transport capacity by ship and truck.
Transport propilena naj bi se močno povečal, kar bi okrepilo pritisk na zmogljivosti transporta z ladjami in tovornjaki.
The pipeline is designed to ease that pressure and to prevent bottlenecks.
Namen cevovoda je ublažiti pritisk in preprečevati ozka grla.
It would reduce road congestion problems significantly.
Znatno bi zmanjšal prometne zamaške na cestah.
The differences in emissions between traditional logistics and transport by pipeline are given in Table 2:
Razliko v emisijah med tradicionalnimi načini transporta in transporta po cevovodu prikazuje tabela 2.

Further reductions of emissions would result from the fact that the pipeline would permit new investment projects at locations requiring less transport of olefins.
Preostalo zmanjševanje emisij bi bilo posledica dejstva, da bi cevovod omogočil nove naložbe v področja, ki zahtevajo manj transporta olefinov.
Transport safety and congestion
Transportna varnost in prometni zamaški
The pipeline would contribute significantly to enhanced transport safety.
Cevovod bi znatno povečal transportno varnost.
Propylene is a Hazard Class 1 material.
Propilen sodi v najvišji razred tveganja.
Without the pipeline, the growth of the market would lead to a substantial increase in other forms of transport for propylene and in the related safety and congestion concerns.
Brez cevovoda bi rast trga povzročila znaten porast drugih načinov transporta propilena ter varnostnih problemov in prometnih zamaškov, ki so z njimi povezani.
In the Netherlands the concerns relate in particular to transport by barge and rail.
Na Nizozemskem se zaskrbljenost nanaša predvsem na transport z rečnimi tovornimi ladjami in po železnici.
The growth of rail transport would accentuate safety problems along the track and the problems posed by the transhipment of propylene.
Rast železniškega transporta bi povečala varnostne probleme med potjo in probleme pretovarjanja propilena.
The pipeline would alleviate the risk, in particular by reducing the number of shunting operations at railway yards and the transhipment of propylene.
Cevovod pa bi omogočil znižanje tega tveganja, zlasti z zmanjšanjem potrebnega manevriranja na železniških postajah in pretovarjanja propilena.
One of the most serious problem areas on the rail link between Rotterdam and Geleen would be the railway yard at Venlo.
Območje, kjer so tveganja na železniški progi med Rooterdamom in Geleenom največja, naj bi predstavljala postaja Venlo.
The Netherlands has put the immediate social return (traffic safety, emissions and noise) on the subsidy at 12 %.
Nizozemska je ocenila neposredni socialni donos (transportna varnost, zmanjšanje emisij in hrupa) subvencije na 12 %.
Industrial policy and employment considerations
Industrijska politika in zaposlitveni oziri
The pipeline would be of strategic importance for the viability of the chemical industry in the area.
Cevovod bi imel strateški pomen za sposobnost preživetja kemične industrije v zadevni regiji.
A 1998 study singled out the lack of appropriate infrastructure as the major factor hampering competitiveness.
Študija iz leta 1998 je kot glavni faktor pri oviranju konkurenčnosti poudarila pomanjkanje ustrezne infrastrukture.
This contrasts with the extensive network in the United States.
V Združenih državah, kjer obstaja zelo razvito omrežje, je stanje drugačno.
The pipeline would make transport much more flexible as it would serve as a ‘storage place’, with all users having direct and near access.
Cevovod bi znatno olajšal transportne postopke, saj služi kot skladišče z neposrednim dostopom, blizu vsem uporabnikom.
It would also reduce the uncertainty of propylene supply to customers stemming from disruptions in propylene production in steam crackers.
Zmanjšal bi tudi negotovost v oskrbovanju strank s propilenom – težavo, ki je povezana z nerednostjo pridobivanja v parnih napravah za krekiranje.
In 1999 the chemical raw materials industry in the Emscher-Lippe region in Germany provided jobs for 5233 people.
Leta 1999 je industrija kemičnih surovin v pokrajini Emscher – Lippe v Nemčiji nudila 5233 delovnih mest.
An expert study estimated the number of jobs that there would be in the region with and without the pipeline.
Na podlagi ekspertize je bilo mogoče oceniti število delovnih mest v regiji Emscher – Lippe s cevovodom in brez njega.
For the raw materials industry, the project would create 658 jobs by 2010, disregarding multiplier effects.
V industriji surovin bi projekt do leta 2010 ustvaril 658 delovnih mest, brez upoštevanja multiplikacijskih učinkov.
For the integrated chemicals cluster, this figure would be 2697.
Za celotno kemično industrijo bi to pomenilo 2697 delovnih mest.
In absolute figures, employment would still decline, albeit at a slower rate due to the pipeline.
Absolutne številke bi se vsekakor zniževale, vendar, zaradi cevovoda, počasneje.
In 2002 some 9740 people were employed in the chemical industry in South Limburg with between 500 and 550 of them being employed in the production of propylene and in the production and processing of polypropylene-related products.
Leta 2002 je bilo v kemični industriji na jugu Limburga zaposlenih približno 9740 oseb. Od tega jih je od 500 do 550 delalo v proizvodnji propilena in proizvodnji in predelavi proizvodov, pridobljenih iz propilena, na jugu Limburga.
REASONS FOR INITIATING THE PROCEDURE PROVIDED FOR IN ARTICLE 88(2) OF THE TREATY
RAZLOGI ZA ZAČETEK POSTOPKA, PREDVIDENEGA V ČLENU 88(2) POGODBE
In its decision to initiate the Article 88(2) procedure, the Commission explained why the measures were to be considered as State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty and expressed certain doubts as to their compatibility with the Treaty.
Komisija je v odločbi o začetku postopka, predvidenega v členu 88(2), obrazložila, zakaj naj se zadevni ukrepi upoštevajo kot državne pomoči v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe in izrazila nekatere dvome glede združljivosti le- teh z omenjeno pogodbo.
The aid would not be covered by the Community guidelines on State aid for environmental protection [11] (environmental aid guidelines), the guidelines on national regional aid [12] (regional aid guidelines) or by any other guidelines laid down by the Commission.
Okvir Skupnosti o državni pomoči za varstvo okolja [11] (v nadaljevanju „okvir pomoči za okolje“), smernice o državni regionalni pomoči [12], niti nobene druge smernice ali okviri, ki jih je določila Komisija, pomoči dejansko ne bi krili.
Similarly, the case in hand differs from other aid measures for transport infrastructure projects previously approved by the Commission.
Prav tako se zadevni primer ne ujema z ostalimi pomočmi za projekte transportne infrastrukture, ki jih je odobrila Komisija.
As regards the general criteria for assessing State aid, the Commission noted that the need for the full amount and the proportionality of the aid had not been clearly demonstrated.
V zvezi s splošnimi kriteriji za presojo državne pomoči je Komisija ugotovila, da celotni potrebni znesek in sorazmernost pomoči nista bila jasna.
Some existing pipelines have been financed in their entirety out of private resources.
Nekateri obstoječi cevovodi so se v celoti financirali iz zasebnih virov.
In addition, the aid intensities for the various sections of the project differ, the aid intensity for the German section being relatively high.
Poleg tega je intenzivnost pomoči za različne dele projekta različna; tako je intenzivnost pomoči relativno visoka zlasti za njegov nemški del.
There were some factual questions as regards the assumptions for the profitability calculations.
Pojavila so se nekatera vprašanja v zvezi z domnevami, postavljenimi na osnovi izračunov donosnosti.
Lastly, the Commission wondered whether there would not be undue distortion of competition, notably between chemical companies participating directly in the project and other companies in the chemical and related industries and between the chemical industry in the region concerned and that in other regions of the Community.
Nazadnje pa se je Komisija vprašala, ali ne bo prišlo do nepotrebnega izkrivljanja konkurence, zlasti med kemičnimi podjetji, ki neposredno sodelujejo pri projektu in ostalimi podjetji kemičnega sektorja in nanje vezano industrijo ter med kemično industrijo v zadevni regiji in kemično industrijo v ostalih regijah Skupnosti.
COMMENTS FROM THIRD PARTIES
PRIPOMBE ZAINTERESIRANIH
The Commission received comments from Deutsche Bahn and from two competitors in the chemical industry.
Komisija je prejela pripombe s strani Deutsche Bahn in dveh konkurentov iz kemične industrije.
Deutsche Bahn provided several examples of turnover losses caused by the construction of pipelines.
Deutsche Bahn je predložila več primerov upada prihodka, ki bi ga povzročila zgraditev cevovodov.
The first competitor is in favour of developing an olefins pipeline infrastructure in Europe but it is not convinced that the project under consideration justifies the aid granted.
Prvi konkurent je naklonjen razvoju cevovodne infrastrukture za transport olefinov v Evropi, vendar ni prepričan, da zadevni projekt opravičuje dodeljeno pomoč.
Firstly, only polymer-grade propylene will be transported, not chemical- or refinery-grade, the propylene content of which is lower.
Kot prvo bo cevovod transportiral samo kakovost „polimer“ in ne kemične kakovosti ali kakovosti „rafinerija“, katerih vsebnost propilena je manjša.
Polymer-grade propylene accounts for only 60 % of the market.
Kakovost polimer predstavlja le 60 % trga.
To gain access to the new pipeline will require substantial investments on the part of chemical-grade producers in improving their product to polymer-grade.
Za dostop do novega cevovoda bodo morali proizvajalci kemične kakovosti pristati v dodatne naložbe, da bi svojim proizvodom zagotovili stopnjo kakovosti polimer.
Secondly, the lack of pipeline networks for propylene transportation in Europe cannot be used as a justification for low competitiveness in the chemical industry as the fees will be similar to those for other modes of transport.
Drugič, odsotnost evropskega cevovodnega omrežja za transport propilena ne more opravičiti šibke konkurenčnosti kemične industrije, saj bodo pristojbine na isti stopnji kot pri ostalih načinih transporta.
The pipeline will compete with the latter and the aid will distort competition with those companies that invest heavily in site selection, jetty facilities and the like. Thirdly, transport by barges and by rail has proven to be environmentally sound.
Cevovod bo tem zadnjim konkuriral in pomoč bo popačila konkurenčnost s podjetji, ki že sedaj znatno vlagajo v izbiro lokacij, pomolov, itd. Tretjič, transport s plitvimi ladjami in po železnici je dokazal svoje prednosti za okolje.
Fourthly, the pipeline may shift investments from coastal locations in the Benelux to, say, Germany.
Četrtič, posledica cevovoda bi lahko bila premestitev naložb, na primer iz obalnih območij Beneluksa proti Nemčiji.
The second competitor agrees that the transport of light hydrocarbons by pipeline is attractive in terms of efficiency and safety and that a sound infrastructure promotes investment and employment in the areas linked by the pipeline.
Drugi konkurent odobrava načelo, na osnovi katerega je transport lahkih ogljikovodikov po cevovodu mikaven s stališča učinkovitosti in varnosti ter priznava, da dobra infrastruktura spodbuja naložbe in zaposlovanje v regijah, povezanih s cevovodom.
However, it points out that the current propylene flow from west to east is not a sufficient reason to invest in this pipeline project.
Kljub temu pa opozarja, da sedanja količina pretovorjenega propilena od zahoda proti vzhodu ne predstavlja zadovoljivega razloga za vlaganje v ta projekt gradnje cevovoda.
Additional volumes would be needed at either end to justify the aid: consumption of propylene in Dutch Limburg and the German section of the pipeline, and production of propylene in the coastal region.
Za opravičilo pomoči bi bile na vsaki strani potrebne dodatne količine: porabe propilena v nizozemskem Liburgu in na nemški strani cevovoda ter proizvodnje propilena v obalni regiji.
In contrast, Sabic has announced the development of a cracker in Dutch Limburg. This would reduce the flow of propylene from the Antwerp-Rotterdam-Amsterdam (ARA) area to the eastern part of the pipeline.
Nasprotno pa je SABIC napovedal razvoj naprave za krekiranje v nizozemskem Limburgu, kar bi zmanjšalo količino propilena, ki se iz regije Antwerpen-Rotterdam-Amsterdam (ARA) transportira proti vzhodni strani cevovoda.
Without investment in propylene production in the ARA area, the pipeline would remain underutilised.
Brez vlaganja v proizvodnjo propilena v regiji ARA bi cevovod ostal premalo izkoriščen.
COMMENTS FROM GERMANY, THE NETHERLANDS AND BELGIUM
PRIPOMBE NEMČIJE, NIZOZEMSKE IN BELGIJE
Comments made by all three Member States
Skupne pripombe treh držav članic
All three Member States confirm the importance of the project from an environmental, transport safety and industrial point of view.
Tri države članice potrjujejo pomembnost projekta za področje okolja, transportne varnosti in industrije.
They stress that the pipeline will be operated in line with the ‘open access’, ‘non-discrimination’ and ‘common carrier’ principles.
Poudarjajo, da bo izkoriščanje cevovoda potekalo po načelih „svobodnega dostopa“, nediskriminacije in „skupnega transporterja“.
A tender procedure for selecting the beneficiaries was not possible as some petrochemical companies were directly involved in the project as owners of sections of existing pipelines.
Prejemnikov ni bilo mogoče izbrati na podlagi razpisa, saj nekatere petrokemične družbe neposredno sodelujejo pri projektu kot lastniki nekaterih sekcij obstoječih cevovodov.
This would not, in any case, have been economically efficient.
Poleg tega ta postopek ne bi bil smotrn.
Distortions of competition are ruled out in this case since any company can join the consortium.
Izkrivljanje konkurence je v tem primeru izključeno, kajti vsaka družba lahko pristopi h konzorciju.
Comments from Germany
Pripombe Nemčije
Germany insists that the public support does not constitute State aid as it does not confer a selective advantage. The pipeline must be viewed as a transport infrastructure like other traffic infrastructure project.
Nemčija vztraja pri dejstvu, da javna pomoč ne predstavlja državne pomoči, saj ne povzroča selektivne prednosti.
This would be in line with earlier decisions by the Commission [13].
Cevovod je treba obravnavati kot transportno infrastrukturo po zgledu ostalih tovrstnih projektov, kar bi bilo v skladu s predhodnimi odločbami Komisije [13].
The project was undertaken for environmental and industrial policy reasons and the aid is not simply a reaction to a private initiative.
Projekt se je začel zaradi ekološke in industrijske politike in pomoč ni samo odgovor na zasebno iniciativo.
Similarly, the fact that the alternative transport modes of inland waterway and rail are financed by the public authorities was taken into account in the decision to grant aid to the project.
Poleg tega se je pri odločitvi za podporo projektu upoštevalo tudi dejstvo, da so ostali načini transporta, to je po plovnih poteh in železnici, financirani s strani javnih oblasti.
Germany also considers that the project seeks to organise propylene transport on the basis of different transport modalities.
Nemčija tudi ocenjuje, da skuša ta projekt transport propilena urediti v skladu z različnimi pravili.
Hence the measure would fall within the scope of Article 73 of the Treaty.
Glede na to bi zadevni ukrep sodil v področje uporabe člena 73 Pogodbe.
The aid would give the project an internal rate of return of 5,6 % in Germany.
Pomoč bi v Nemčiji pomenila interni donos projekta v višini 5,6 %.
A higher return would not be possible: in case of higher-than-expected proceeds over the first 15 years, a corresponding amount would be recovered from the beneficiary.
Višji donos ne bi bil mogoč: če bi v prvih 15-ih letih dohodek presegal predvidene vrednosti, bi se od prejemnika izterjal ustrezni znesek.
Germany stresses that there is no disproportionate advantage for the companies participating directly in the project since any potential user will have access to the installation on non-discriminatory terms.
Nemčija poudarja, da podjetja, ki neposredno sodelujejo pri projektu nimajo nesorazmernih prednosti, saj bo vsak potencialni uporabnik imel dostop do instalacije pod nediskriminatornimi pogoji.
Furthermore, even companies involved in other branches of economic activity may join the consortium.
Poleg tega lahko h konzorciju pristopijo celo podjetja, dejavna v drugih gospodarskih panogah.
