This strike price corresponds to baseload electricity prices on the wholesale market, which, as was shown in recitals (282) to (285), is now reported as sometimes being well above GBP 20/MWh, and was in any case always expected to range between 16 and GBP 19/MWh even in the short term during which Dungeness B will remain operational.
Ta izvršilna cena ustreza ceni električne energije za osnovno obremenitev na trgu na debelo, ki po sedanjih poročilih, kot je bilo prikazano v uvodnih izjavah (281) do (282), včasih krepko presega 20 GBP/MWh, in naj bi bila v vsakem primeru vedno med 16 in 19 GBP/MWH, tudi v kratkem obdobju, v katerem bo elektrarna Dungeness B še delovala.
Furthermore, the Commission notes that, with present electricity prices, Dungeness B is able to cover its avoidable costs even under the most pessimistic scenario.
Ob tem Komisija ugotavlja, da je elektrarna Dungeness B pri sedanjih cenah električne energije sposobna pokrivati izogibne stroške tudi po najbolj pesimističnem scenariju.
The Commission therefore considers that Dungeness B is a viable asset.
Komisija zato upošteva, da je elektrarna Dungeness B imetje, sposobno preživetja.
On the question whether the aid is restricted to the minimum necessary
O vprašanju, ali je pomoč omejena na najnižji potrebni znesek
In its decision to initiate proceedings, the Commission expressed doubts as to whether the aid was restricted to the minimum necessary, because the State aid nature of Measure B, C and G was not established, and because the exact amount of aid in Measure A was not fixed.
V svoji odločitvi za začetek postopka je Komisija izrazila dvome o tem, ali je bila pomoč omejena na najnižji potrebni znesek, ker narava državne pomoči za ukrepe B, C in G ni bila vzpostavljena in ker natančen znesek pomoči pri ukrepu A ni bil določen.
The Commission notes that it concluded in sections VI(2)(a) and VI(2)(b) above that Measures B, C and G do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Komisija ugotavlja, da po njenih ugotovitvah iz zgornjih oddelkov VI(2)(a) in VI(2)(b) ukrepi B, C in G niso državna pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
The aid package is therefore restricted to Measure A only.
Paket pomoči je zato omejen le na ukrep A.
Measure A includes State aid aimed at meeting three categories of liabilities: the management of historic spent fuel, the management of uncontracted liabilities, and the decommissioning of nuclear power plants.
Ukrep A vključuje državno pomoč, katere cilj je izpolnjevanje treh kategorij obveznosti: ravnanje s preteklim izrabljenim gorivom, upravljanje nepogodbenih obveznosti in razgradnja jedrskih elektrarn.
At the time of the initiation of proceedings, the liabilities linked to each of these three categories, and consequently the State aid attached to them, was only estimated, but not capped.
Ob začetku postopka so se obveznosti povezale v vsako od teh treh vrst, in zato je bila državna pomoč v zvezi z njimi le ocenjena, vendar ni bila omejena.
Liabilities linked to the management of spent fuel represent the largest share of the total liabilities.
Obveznosti v zvezi z ravnanjem z izrabljenim gorivom so največji delež vseh obveznosti.
They consist in the payment to BNFL of management services for fuel loaded in BE’s reactors prior to the restructuring plan’s effective date.
Sestavljajo jih plačilo družbi BNFL za storitve ravnanja z gorivom, vstavljenim v reaktorje družbe BE pred dnevom začetka veljavnosti načrta za prestrukturiranje.
These services are already contracted, and the amount owed by BE to BNFL in this respect is well defined in most circumstances.
Te storitve so že pogodbene in znesek, ki ga družba BE dolguje družbi BNFL v zvezi s tem, je v večini primerov natančno določen.
For this reason, the Commission still considers that the extent to which these liabilities could be funded by the UK Government should be capped.
Zato Komisija še vedno upošteva, da bi moral biti obseg finančnih sredstev, ki jih vlada Združenega kraljestva nameni za te obveznosti, omejen.
The UK authorities have therefore accepted to turn their original estimate for these liabilities, namely GBP 2185000000 [52] into a cap for the aid linked to such liabilities.
Organi Združenega kraljestva so se zato strinjali, da postane njihova prvotna ocena teh obveznosti, in sicer 2185000000 GBP [52], zgornja meja pomoči v zvezi s takšnimi obveznostmi.
In contrast, liabilities linked to the decommissioning of nuclear power plant and to uncontracted liabilities are difficult to quantify precisely.
V nasprotju s tem je obseg obveznosti v zvezi z razgradnjo jedrske elektrarne in nepogodbenih obveznosti težko točno določiti.
The decommissioning of nuclear plants is a very specific activity.
Razgradnja jedrskih elektrarn je posebna dejavnost.
There is little experience world wide of totally completed work in this field [53].
O celotnem dokončanem postopku je na tem področju v svetovnem merilu zelo malo izkušenj [53].
Experts indicate that such costs may be 15 % of the total investments costs or more [54], or 50 % of the nuclear part of the investment [55].
Strokovnjaki navajajo, da so lahko takšni stroški 15 ali več % skupnih investicijskih stroškov [54] ali 50 % jedrskega dela naložbe [55].
Even if such estimates proved completely consistent and accurate, one would need to compute the exact original investment costs in a power plant in order to estimate its decommissioning costs, which would be particularly difficult for old power plants like BE’s, for which costs history is very imprecise.
Čeprav so se te ocene izkazale za popolnoma dosledne in natančne, bi bilo treba za oceno stroškov razgradnje točno izračunati prvotne investicijske stroške elektrarne, kar bi bilo zlasti težko za stare elektrarne, kot tiste v lasti družbe BE, katerih stroškovna preteklost je zelo nenatančna.
Furthermore, most of BE’s plants are AGR plants, which are not only different from plants existing in other countries, but also to a certain extent different from each other.
Ob tem so elektrarne družbe BE večinoma obrati s plinsko hlajenimi reaktorji nove generacije, ki se razlikujejo od obratov v drugih državah in do določene mere tudi medsebojno.
One can therefore not expect to build on experience acquired either in other countries or in the United Kingdom to improve the accuracy of BE’s reactors’ decommissioning costs estimate.
Zato se pri izboljšanju natančnosti ocene stroškov razgradnje reaktorjev družbe BE ne da zanašati na izkušnje, pridobljene v drugih državah ali v Združenem kraljestvu.
Similarly, uncontracted liabilities are by their very nature difficult to determine.
Podobno težko se zaradi svoje narave določijo tudi nepogodbene obveznosti.
They relate mostly to the final disposal of spent fuel.
Veljajo predvsem za končno odstranitev izrabljenega goriva.
The manner in which nuclear fuel will be finally disposed of in the United Kingdom remains uncertain, as the experience of the Nirex Intermediate Level Waste repository has shown.
Način končne odstranitve jedrskega goriva v Združenem kraljestvu je, po izkušnjah z odlagališčem srednje radioaktivnih jedrskih odpadkov Nirex, še vedno negotov.
Experience in other countries has also shown that finding places to dispose of certain types of waste can be both technically and politically challenging.
Izkušnje iz drugih držav so pokazale tudi, da je lahko iskanje mest za odstranitev nekaterih vrst odpadkov tehnični in politični izziv.
It is very hard to quantify with sufficient precision the cost of an activity where so little information is available as to how it will be achieved.
Stroške dejavnosti je, kjer je v zvezi z njenim izvajanjem na voljo tako malo podatkov, zelo težko določiti dovolj natančno.
Information forwarded by the UK authorities also shows that estimates of storage costs by institutions of other Member States may vary drastically.
Podatki, ki so jih posredovali organi Združenega kraljestva, tudi kažejo, da se lahko ocene stroškov skladiščenja s strani institucij drugih držav članic znatno razlikujejo.
In view of the above, the Commission considers that trying to determine a maximum cost for decommissioning and uncontracted liabilities would only be possible with a large margin of error.
Na tej podlagi Komisija upošteva, da bi bilo najvišje stroške razgradnje in nepogodbene obveznosti mogoče določiti le z visoko toleranco napake.
There would be a serious risk of overestimating that value.
Obstajalo bi resno tveganje za precenitev te vrednosti.
This is why, in this case, the Commission considers that setting a highly uncertain and probably overestimated value as a cap for the aid would actually go against the minimum aid necessary requirement, as uncertainty margins may, where they do not materialise, turn into scope for granting unnecessary aid.
Zato Komisija v tem primeru upošteva, da bi bila določitev izjemno negotove in verjetno precenjene vrednosti za zgornjo mejo pomoči dejansko v nasprotju z zahtevo po najnižjem potrebnem znesku pomoči, ker lahko meja negotovosti, kjer ni materializirana, postane cilj za dodelitev nepotrebne pomoči.
A much better way to ensure the fulfilment of the minimum necessary principle would consist in not trying to compute a cap for the aid but, rather, setting up a mechanism aimed at ensuring that future expenditure will be restricted to the minimum.
Precej boljši način za zagotovitev izpolnitve načela najnižjega potrebnega zneska ni poskus izračuna zgornje meje pomoči, ampak ustanovitev mehanizma za zagotavljanje omejitve prihodnjih izdatkov na najnižjo mogočo raven.
The UK authorities have therefore undertaken to put in place a series of mechanisms in this respect.
Organi Združenega kraljestva so se zato obvezali, da bodo v zvezi s tem uvedli vrsto mehanizmov.
categories of liabilities the cost of which can be taken over by the State will be precisely defined;
kategorije obveznosti, katerih stroške lahko prevzame država, bodo natančno opredeljene;
the UK authorities will closely monitor these costs via the Nuclear Decommissioning Agency (NDA); This monitoring will be both ex ante and ex post;
organi Združenega kraljestva bodo natančno spremljali te stroške prek Agencije za razgradnjo jedrskih elektrarn (NDA); to spremljanje bo predhodno in naknadno;
decommissioning activities will be tendered by the NDA, which will ensure that costs are kept to market standards;
za dejavnosti razgradnje bo poskrbela Agencija za razgradnjo jedrskih elektrarn, ki bo zagotovila, da so stroški v skladu s tržnimi standardi;
the NDA activities themselves will be ultimately controlled by the UK Department of Trade and Industry and the National Audit Office;
dejavnosti Agencije za razgradnjo jedrskih elektrarn bosta popolnoma nadzorovala Ministrstvo za trgovino in industrijo Združenega kraljestva ter Državni urad za revizijo;
to further strengthen the Commission’s control on the spending, the original aggregate estimate of both liabilities (e.g. GBP 1629000000 [56]) will be used as a threshold.
za nadaljnjo okrepitev nadzora porabe s strani Komisije bo za mejno vrednost uporabljena prvotna skupna ocena obeh obveznosti (npr. 1629000000 GBP [56]).
Should the cumulated expenditure linked to the two liabilities exceed this threshold, the Commission will receive enhanced reporting both on payments made to meet liabilities costs and on steps taken to minimise these costs.
Če bodo skupni izdatki, povezani z obema obveznostma, presegli to mejno vrednost, bo Komisija prejela obširno poročilo o plačilih za pokritje stroškov obveznosti in ukrepih za zmanjšanje teh stroškov na najnižjo možno raven.
This report shall be based on analysis carried out by independent accounting experts.
Lahko se doda k poročilu iz člena 2. To ne sme vplivati na možnost, da se pozneje vpelje pogoj licence, če se pojavi možnost za njeno pridobitev.
It could be possible that some very limited payments due by BE to BNFL in the framework of spent fuel liabilities exceed their original estimate.
Mogoče bi bilo, da nekaj zelo omejenih plačil družbe BE družbi BNFL v okviru obveznosti za izrabljeno gorivo presega prvotno oceno.
This is the case in particular where some spent fuel elements do not conform to specification and require special treatment.
To še zlasti velja, kjer izrabljeni gorivni elementi niso v skladu z zahtevami in zahtevajo posebno ravnanje.
Indeed, in such a case, existing arrangements contracts between BE and BNFL allow the normal spent fuel management price to be increased.
Res, v takšnem primeru, obstoječe pogodbene ureditve med družbama BE in BNFL dovoljujejo zvišanje cene običajnega ravnanja z izrabljenim gorivom.
Should this happen, amounts to be paid by the State to discharge BE from these liabilities in excess of the original estimate would be counted against the GBP 1629000000 threshold mentioned above, without that threshold being altered.
Če bi se to zgodilo, bi bili zneski, ki jih mora država plačati za poravnavo obveznosti družbe BE, večjih od prvotne ocene, všteti v zgoraj omenjeno mejno vrednost 1629000000 GBP, ob tem pa se mejna vrednost ne bi spremenila.
For the purpose of computing the amounts referred to in recitals (350) and (358), the Commission considers that the normal Commission reference rate should be used.
Za namen izračuna zneskov iz uvodnih izjav (349) in (357) je treba po premisleku Komisije uporabiti običajno referenčno stopnjo Komisije.
Nevertheless, given the length of the period concerned the reference rate should be adapted every five years [57].
Kljub temu se mora zaradi dolžine zadevnega obdobja referenčna stopnja vsakih pet let prilagoditi [57].
It is important to note that the cap and threshold referred to in recitals (350) and (358) apply to all expenditures made to meet liabilities, be they funded by the NLF or by the State.
Pomembno je ugotoviti, da veljata zgornja meja in mejna vrednost iz uvodnih izjav (349) in (357) za vse izdatke za pokritje obveznosti, tiste, ki jih financira Sklad za jedrske obveznosti, ali država.
This means that the cap and threshold mechanism will automatically take account of moneys available in the fund.
To pomeni, da bo mehanizem zgornje meje in mejne vrednosti samodejno upošteval razpoložljiva denarna sredstva v skladu.
Finally, the restructuring package also contains a tax disregard with respect to the increase of the accounting value of BE’s power plants due to the fact that part of the liabilities that are attached to them will be paid for by the UK Government.
Končno vključuje paket pomoči za prestrukturiranje tudi oprostitev davka v zvezi s povečanjem knjižne vrednosti elektrarn družbe BE, ker bo del obveznosti v zvezi z njimi plačala vlada Združenega kraljestva.
Since these liabilities used to be laid down in BE’s accounts, their partial and potential relief by the UK Government’s undertaking increases their value by an amount potentially up to the maximum value undertaken by the UK Government.
Ker so bile te obveznosti včasih določene v zaključnem računu družbe BE, njihova delna ali mogoča oprostitev s prevzetjem s strani vlade Združenega kraljestva zvišuje njihovo vrednost za znesek, ki lahko doseže največjo vrednost, ki jo prevzame vlada Združenega kraljestva.
Under normal UK accounting and financial rules, this increase should be taxable.
V skladu z običajnimi računovodskimi in finančnimi pravili mora biti to povečanje obdavčljivo.
Its disregard by the Government is therefore a potential competitive advantage for BE within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Oprostitev davka s strani vlade je zato možna konkurenčna prednost družbe BE v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
However, the potential taxation would decrease BE’s ability to fund the liabilities itself, which would in turn increase the UK Government’s actual liabilities.
Vseeno bi možna obdavčitev zmanjšala sposobnost družbe BE za lastno financiranje obveznosti, kar bi povečalo dejanske obveznosti vlade Združenega kraljestva.
Hence, all or part of the State aid element in the tax disregard may be offset by the increase in the final funding of the liabilities to be met by the Government.
Zato se lahko ves element ali del elementa državne pomoči pri oprostitvi davka nadomesti s povečanjem končnega financiranja obveznosti, ki jih pokriva vlada.
The actual State aid element in the tax disregard is only equal to that part of the disregard that is not offset by the increase of payments to be made by the UK Government to honour its undertaking to meet the nuclear liabilities.
Dejanski element državne pomoči pri oprostitvi davka je enak le tistemu delu oprostitve, ki ni nadomeščen s povečanjem plačil vlade Združenega kraljestva za spoštovanje svoje obveze za poravnavo jedrskih obveznosti.
This increase in power plant value is only artificial, since the liabilities will still remain until the UK Government undertaking is called for, and to the extent that it is actually available, and will have to be met as much as possible by the NLF to which BE contributes.
To povečanje vrednosti elektrarn je le navidezno, ker bodo obveznosti še vedno veljale, dokler velja obveza vlade Združenega kraljestva, in v obsegu, ki je dejansko na voljo, ter jih bo moral v največji mogoči meri pokrivati Sklad za jedrske obveznosti, v katerega prispeva družba BE.
Furthermore, should the Government have paid for the shortfall in liability funding in another way or at another time, for example through ad hoc grants paid at the time the liabilities were actually incurred, it is possible that no tax disregard would have been necessary.
Ob tem je mogoče, da oprostitev davka ne bi bila potrebna, če bi vlada v preteklosti plačala primanjkljaj v financiranju obveznosti na drugačen način ali v drugem časovnem obdobju, na primer prek priložnostnih dotacij, izplačanih v času dejanskega prevzetja obveznosti.
In view of the above, the Commission considers that the State aid element in the tax disregard does not go beyond what is necessary for the aid to meet the restructuring objective.
Na tej podlagi Komisija upošteva, da element državne pomoči pri oprostitvi davka ne presega potrebnega za skladnost pomoči s ciljem prestrukturiranja.
Finally, the Commission notes that any increase in BE’s profits, like in the case of an increase of electricity prices, will largely be destined to finance BE’s contribution to the NLF.
Končno Komisija ugotavlja, da bo kakršno koli povečanje dobička družbe BE, kot v primeru zvišanja cen električne energije, večinoma namenjeno financiranju prispevka družbe BE v Sklad za jedrske obveznosti.
Such increase in BE’s contribution would automatically imply a reduction of the amount of aid.
Takšno povečanje prispevka družbe BE bi samodejno pomenilo zmanjšanje zneska pomoči.
The Commission considers that the mechanisms described above will altogether ensure that the State aid contained in Measure A will be reduced to the minimum necessary.
Komisija upošteva, da bodo zgoraj opisani mehanizmi zagotovili zmanjšanje državne pomoči iz ukrepa A na najnižji potrebni znesek.
On the avoidance of undue distortion of competition
O izognitvi nepotrebnemu izkrivljanju konkurence
Point 35 of the guidelines provides that ‘measures must be taken to mitigate as far as possible any adverse effects of the aid on competitors’.
Točka (35) Smernic določa, da „morajo biti sprejeti ukrepi za čim večjo ublažitev kakršnih koli škodljivih učinkov pomoči na tekmece“.
Except in exceptional cases where the size of the relevant market is negligible at Community and at EEA level or the firm’s share of the relevant market is negligible, such measures must be implemented in order for the aid element of a restructuring plan to be compatible with the Common market.
Razen v posebnih primerih, v katerih je velikost zadevnega trga na ravni Skupnosti in EGP zanemarljiva ali je zanemarljiv delež podjetja na upoštevanem trgu, morajo za skladnost elementa pomoči iz načrta za prestrukturiranje s skupnim trgom veljati takšni ukrepi.
They must take the form of a limitation of the company’s presence on the market and be in proportion to the distortive effect of the aid.
Biti morajo v obliki omejitve prisotnosti družbe na trgu in sorazmerni z izkrivljajočim učinkom pomoči.
A relaxation of the need for these measures may be contemplated where they could lead to a manifest deterioration in the structure of the market.
Ti ukrepi se lahko omilijo, kjer bi lahko povzročili očitno poslabšanje strukture trga.
Where they are necessary, the form and extent of compensatory measures depend on the market capacity position.
Oblika in obseg izravnalnih ukrepov sta, kjer so ti potrebni, odvisna od položaja na podlagi tržne zmogljivosti.
Where there is structural overcapacity on the market, compensatory measures must take the form of an irreversible reduction of production capacity.
Kjer je na trgu strukturni presežek, morajo biti izravnalni ukrepi v obliki trajnega zmanjšanja proizvodne zmogljivosti.
Where there is no structural overcapacity, compensatory measures may still be required, but they may take other forms than irreversible reductions of production capacity.
Kjer ni strukturnega presežka, se lahko še vedno zahtevajo izravnalni ukrepi, vendar ne nujno v obliki trajnega zmanjšanja proizvodne zmogljivosti.
The relevant market
Upoštevani trg
Footnote 20 of the guidelines indicates that the relevant geographical market usually comprises the EEA or, alternatively, any significant part of it if the conditions of competition in this area can be sufficiently distinguished from other areas of the EEA.
Opomba 20 Smernic navaja, da upoštevani geografski trg navadno vključuje EGP ali kateri koli njegov bistveni del, če se pogoji konkurence na tem območju v dovolj veliki meri razlikujejo od drugih območij EGP.
Electricity has been traded between Member States for a long time and in particular since the entry into force of Directive 96/92/EC.
Z električno energijo se med državami članicami trguje že dolgo, še zlasti od začetka veljavnosti Direktive 96/92/ES.
However, electricity trade between Member States is limited by physical constraints due to shortfalls in interconnection capacity.
Vseeno trgovanje z električno energijo med državami članicami omejujejo fizične omejitve zaradi pomanjkljive zmogljivosti za medsebojno povezovanje.
These constraints are all the tighter where geographical limitations further limit the opportunities for the development of new interconnectors.
Te omejitve so vse večje, kjer geografske omejitve nadalje omejujejo priložnosti za razvoj novih povezovalnih vodov.
Within the framework of trans-European networks policy, the Commission has made a list of such bottlenecks in the internal electricity market.
Komisija je v okviru politike vseevropskih omrežij sestavila seznam takšnih ozkih grl na mednarodnem trgu električne energije.
Annex 1 to Decision No 1229/2003/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 laying down a series of guidelines for trans-European energy networks and repealing Decision No 1254/96/EC [58] shows that the United Kingdom is one of those geographical regions that are insufficiently connected to the rest of the network for the single market to function as a whole entity.
Priloga 1 k Odločbi št. 1229/2003/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 26. junija 2003 o določitvi vrste smernic za vseevropska energetska omrežja in razveljavitvi Odločbe št. 1254/96/ES [58] kaže, da je Združeno kraljestvo ena od tistih geografskih regij, ki za delovanje enotnega trga kot celote niso dovolj dobro povezane z ostalim omrežjem.
On top of its insulation from the rest of the Community’s electricity network, the United Kingdom’s electricity market is further characterised by its very specific trading system.
Razen ločenosti od ostalega električnega omrežja Skupnosti je značilnost trga električne energije Združenega kraljestva tudi poseben sistem trgovanja.
This specific trading system, known as the New Electricity Trading Arrangements (NETA), is based mostly on bilateral contracts between generators, suppliers and customers, as opposed to more classical pool markets.
Ta posebni sistem trgovanja, poznan kot nova ureditev trgovanja z električno energijo („NUTEE“), temelji v nasprotju z bolj klasičnimi trgi združenih proizvajalcev električne energije predvsem na dvostranskih pogodbah med proizvajalci, dobavitelji in odjemalci.
