Consequently, prices can fluctuate over a very wide range since it is profitable for a company to produce DRAMs as long as marginal costs are covered.
Zato je nihanje cen zaradi dobička, ki ga podjetju z zagotovljenim pokrivanjem mejnih stroškov lahko prinaša proizvodnja pomnilnikov DRAM, večje.
Only looking at the development of apparent consumption in value terms does not, therefore, give an adequate picture of the market for DRAMs.
Zato analiza spremembe dejanske porabe, izražene v vrednosti transakcij, sama po sebi ne omogoča primernega pregleda trga pomnilnikov DRAM.
The Commission also recognises that, in this specific case, the data on consumption in terms of transaction value do not provide a full and entirely representative picture of the situation on the market.
Komisija tudi priznava, da podatki o porabi, izraženi v vrednosti transakcij, v tem primeru ne omogočajo popolne in v celoti ustrezne slike razmer na trgu.
As pointed out by the Portuguese authorities, the transaction values for apparent consumption were seriously affected by the disruption caused by the presence on the market of subsidised imports from the Korean manufacturer Hynix.
Kot so poudarili portugalski organi, so na vrednosti transakcij za dejansko porabo v veliki meri vplivale motnje na trgu, ki jih je povzročila tržna prisotnost subvencioniranih uvoznih izdelkov korejskega proizvajalca Hynixa.
One investigation that resulted in the imposition of a countervailing duty on DRAM imports from Hynix concluded among other things that these subsidised imports led to a dramatic decline in DRAM prices in the Community in the period from 1998 to 2001, and especially in 2001, when Hynix’s import prices fell by 76 % [14].
Preiskava, ki je povzročila uvedbo izravnalne dajatve na uvoz pomnilnikov DRAM korejskega proizvajalca Hynixa, je med drugim ugotovila, da so zadevni uvozni izdelki med leti 1998 in 2001 povzročili dramatičen padec cen pomnilnikov DRAM v Skupnosti, še posebno leta 2001, ko so se cene uvoznih izdelkov Hynixa znižale za 76 % [14].
Once it had been concluded that the subsidised imports materially harmed the industry in the Community, a countervailing duty of 34,8 %, reflecting the level of subsidies granted to Hynix, was imposed on DRAM imports from that manufacturer.
Ker je bilo ugotovljeno, da subvencionirani uvozni izdelki škodijo industriji Skupnosti, je bil na uvoz pomnilnikov uveden davek v višini 34,8 %, kar izraža zneske subvencij, podeljenih podjetju Hynix.
The movements in the average selling prices of DRAMs on the world market during the reference period are given in the following table [15].

The table shows that DRAM prices on the world market fell by 65 % in 2001 and recovered only partially in 2002.
Iz tabele je razvidno, da so se na globalni ravni v letu 2001 cene pomnilnikov DRAM znižale za 65 % in se v letu 2002 le delno obnovile.
Accordingly, the Commission takes the view that the transaction values of apparent consumption in 2001 and, to a lesser extent, in 2002 were adversely affected by the abnormally low prices resulting from the subsidised sales by Hynix.
Komisija na podlagi teh dejstev upošteva, da so na vrednosti transakcij za dejansko porabo v letu 2001 in, v manjši meri, v letu 2002 negativno vplivale izjemno nizke cene zaradi subvencionirane prodaje podjetja Hynix.
For the reasons given above, the Commission examined other information that was available in order to obtain a more reliable and full analysis of the market.
Komisija je za zanesljivejšo in popolnejšo analizo trga iz zgoraj navedenih razlogov preučila druge dostopne podatke.
The movements on the world DRAM market during the reference period, as revealed by the statistics, are given in the following tables [15] Source: Gartner Dataquest (November 2003).
Sprememba na globalnem trgu pomnilnikov DRAM v ustreznem obdobju je na podlagi teh statistik prikazana v naslednjih tabelah [15] Vir: Gartner Dataquest (november 2003).

The above values reveal a consistently positive trend on the DRAM market during the reference period.
Zgoraj navedene številke kažejo pozitivno težnjo na trgu pomnilnikov DRAM za ustrezno obdobje.
It is important to point out that the market growth rate between 2000 and 2001 (5,1 % in terms of units and 64,7 % in terms of megabytes) is comparable to the average annual growth rate observed throughout the period.
Pomembno je poudariti, da je stopnja rasti na trgu med leti 2000 in 2001 (5,1 % v enotah in 64,7 % v megabajtih) primerljiva s povprečno letno stopnjo rasti v celotnem obdobju.
This fact is a strong indication that the transaction value of the particularly low level of apparent consumption recorded in 2001 is due primarily to the abnormal decline in prices that year.
To dejstvo je pomemben znak, da je za še posebno nizko vrednost transakcij za dejansko porabo v letu 2001 v veliki meri kriv izreden padec cen tega leta.
As recognised by the Commission and the Council in the two regulations mentioned above (see footnote 11), this price decline was due essentially to subsidised imports from Korea.
Kot sta že ugotovila Komisija in Svet v obeh omenjenih uredbah (glej opombo št. 11), so se cene znižale predvsem zaradi subvencioniranih uvoznih izdelkov iz Koreje.
When analysed together, the three indicators mentioned above (transaction value, volume in units and volume in megabytes) seem to indicate that, during the reference period, the DRAM market grew at a sustained rate, except in 2001, which was characterised by the exceptional market disruption resulting from an abnormal decline in prices.
Analiza vseh treh zgoraj naštetih kazalcev (vrednost transakcij, obseg v enotah in obseg v megabajtih) kaže, da je trg pomnilnikov DRAM v ustreznem obdobju doživel trajno rast, razen v letu 2001, ko so izjemne motnje na trgu povzročile nenormalen padec cen.
The Commission also requested information on the prospects for the DRAM market.
Komisija je poiskala tudi podatke o obetih za prihodnost trga pomnilnikov DRAM.
According to the latest forecasts of the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (see table below), the average annual growth rate of the global market for semiconductors between 2003 and 2005 will be 15,4 %.
Po zadnjih napovedih statistike za svetovno trgovino polprevodnikov (glej spodnjo preglednico) bo med leti 2003 in 2005 povprečna letna stopnja rasti na globalnem trgu polprevodnikov 15,4 %.
The outlook for the memory segment (including SRAMs, DRAMs and non-volatile memory products) is also positive.
Obeti za področje pomnilnikov (vključno s pomnilnikoma SRAM, DRAM in trajnimi pomnilniškimi izdelki) so tudi ugodni.
The average annual growth rate of the global market for memory products between 2003 and 2005 is expected to be 21,6 %.
Napovedana povprečna letna stopnja rasti na svetovnem trgu pomnilniških izdelkov med leti 2003 in 2005 je 21,6 %.

A restrictive analysis of the information in terms of transaction values given above indicated that the DRAM market was in absolute decline during the relevant period.
Podrobna analiza podatkov o zgoraj predstavljenih zneskih transakcij kaže, da je bil v ustreznem obdobju trg pomnilnikov DRAM v popolnem zatonu.
However, a market analysis in volume terms (unit shipments and megabytes) came to the conclusion that, in fact, the market grew at a faster rate than manufacturing industry in the EEA as a whole.
Toda analiza trga na podlagi obsega (v pošiljkah enot in v megabajtih) vodi do zaključka, da se je trg v resnici povečeval hitreje kot celotna proizvodna industrija v EGP.
Clearly, the subsidised DRAM imports from Korea had a negative effect on world prices and hence on the value of the market in 2001 and, to a lesser extent, in 2002.
Razvidno je, da je imel subvencioniran uvoz pomnilnikov DRAM iz Koreje negativen vpliv na svetovne cene in posledično na vrednost trga v letu 2001 ter, v manjši meri, v letu 2002.
Given this exceptional market development, the Commission considers that, in this specific case, the statistics in volume terms probably give a truer picture of market developments during the reference period.
Komisija na podlagi tega izjemnega pojava na trgu meni, da daje statistika v tem primeru na podlagi obsega verjetno natančnejšo sliko razvoja trga v ustreznem obdobju.
However, the data in terms of megabytes may be significantly influenced by technological advances in the industry (increase in DRAM volume in bits).
Na podatke o megabajtih lahko kljub temu v veliki meri vpliva tehnološki napredek v industriji (povečanje obsega pomnilnikov DRAM v bitih).
Consequently, the Commission takes the view that, in the present case, market developments are better reflected by the data in terms of unit shipments and concludes that 5,59 % is a cautious and reasonable estimation of the average growth rate of the DRAM market during the reference period.
Komisija posledično meni, da je v zadevnem primeru razvoj trga najboljše ocenjen na podlagi podatkov o pošiljkah enot, in ugotavlja, da je 5,59 % pravična in sprejemljiva ocena povprečne stopnje rasti na trgu pomnilnikov DRAM v ustreznem obdobju.
As mentioned above, in accordance with the Multisectoral Framework, a market is considered to be in decline if, during the reference period, the average annual growth rate of apparent consumption of the product in question is more than 10 % lower than the annual average for EEA manufacturing industry as a whole.
Kot je bilo omenjeno prej, je trg v skladu z Večsektorskim okvirom v zatonu, kadar je povprečna letna stopnja rasti dejanske porabe zadevnega izdelka v ustreznem obdobju za več kot 10 % nižja od letnega povprečja celotne proizvodne industrije EGP.
During the period 1997-2002 the EEA manufacturing industry grew at an average rate of 4,84 %.
Proizvodna industrija EGP se je v obdobju od leta 1997 do 2002 zviševala s povprečno stopnjo 4,84 %.
Since the average annual growth rate for the DRAM market during the reference period was higher, the Commission takes the view that the market was not in decline and the competition factor is set at 1.
Ker je povprečna letna stopnja rasti na trgu pomnilnikov DRAM v ustreznem obdobju presegala mejo, meni Komisija, da trg ni bil v zatonu in da je določeni dejavnik konkurence 1.
Lastly, the Commission notes that Infineon is currently under investigation for allegedly having participated in a cartel in the DRAM sector […].
Komisija tudi opaža, da poteka sedaj v zvezi z družbo Infineon preiskava, ker naj bi ta […] sodelovala v kartelu v sektorju pomnilnikov DRAM.
It is also aware that Infineon is involved in a dispute concerning an alleged infringement of patent rights in the United States of America.
Komisija se zaveda tudi tega, da je družba Infineon vpletena v sodni spor v zvezi z domnevno kršitvijo patentnih pravic v Združenih državah Amerike.
The investigation in particular may have a major impact on the market analysis presented above.
Še posebno prvo dejstvo bi lahko pomembno vplivalo na prej omenjeno analizo trga.
However, no definitive conclusions have as yet been reached in either case and it is not possible at this stage to take account of their potential impact on the market.
Toda v nobenem postopku ni prišlo do končnih sklepov in na tej ravni ni mogoče upoštevati njihovega mogočega vpliva na trg.
The Commission would remind the Portuguese authorities that, if the information on the basis of which the conclusions were reached proved to be incorrect as provided for in Article 9 of the Procedural Regulation [16] or if, as a result of the proceedings referred to above, it was subsequently concluded that the effect of the alleged infringements of the competition rules was not negligible, the Commission fully reserves the right to reassess the market situation on the basis of a new analysis and, if necessary, to repeal this decision.
Komisija opozarja portugalske organe, da ima Komisija v primeru neskladnosti podatkov, na katerih temeljijo sklepi Poslovnika, v skladu s členom 9 Poslovnika [16] ali v primeru posledične ugotovitve, da so imele domnevne kršitve zakona o konkurenci kot posledica zgornjih postopkov pomemben vpliv, popolno pravico do ponovne ocenitve razmer na trgu z novo analizo in lahko, če je to potrebno, svojo odločbo prekliče.
Capital-labour factor (I)
Dejavnik delovnega kapitala (I)
For highly capital-intensive projects, the Multisectoral Framework lays down a capital-labour factor which is designed to adjust the maximum intensity with a view to favouring those projects which contribute effectively to the reduction of unemployment by creating a relatively larger number of new jobs.
Dejavnik delovnega kapitala določa Večsektorski okvir za kapitalsko intenzivne projekte, s katerim se uravnava največja mogoča intenzivnost za dajanje prednosti projektom, ki z ustanavljanjem večjega števila novih delovnih mest učinkovito prispevajo k zniževanju brezposelnosti.
This criterion also takes into account the possible distorting effect of the aid on the price of the final product.
To merilo upošteva tudi mogoč negativni učinek pomoči na ceno končnega produkta.
According to Portugal, the project led to the creation of 264 direct jobs distributed as follows.
Po mnenju Portugalske je projekt povzročil neposredno ustvarjanje 264 delovnih mest, razdeljenih na naslednji način.
Table 10
Tabela 10
Direct jobs
Neposredna delovna mesta
Quality control
Nadzor kakovosti
However, Portugal explained that 12 jobs disappeared at the same time.
Toda Portugalska pojasnjuje, da bo s tem izginilo 12 delovnih mest.
It thus considered that the net direct job creation directly linked to the project was 252.
Zato Portugalska meni, da je ustvarjanje delovnih mest v neto vrednosti neposredno povezano s skupno vsoto projekta, to je 252 delovnih mest.
The Commission considers that the 252 direct jobs created as a result of the investment can be taken into account as this is a reasonable figure for a capacity increase of 150 %.
Komisija meni, da se lahko upošteva 252 delovnih mest, ustvarjenih neposredno kot posledica naložbe, saj je število primerno za 150-odstotno povečanje zmogljivosti.
Portugal moreover stated that all the existing jobs at Infineon Portugal (596 jobs) were safeguarded thanks to the investment.
Portugalska poleg tega navaja, da so vsa obstoječa delovna mesta v družbi Infineon Portugalska (596 delovnih mest) zaščitena kot posledica naložbe.
According to Portugal, the Infineon group has located its back-end operations in Portugal and Malaysia.
Postopki hrbtne proizvodnje skupine Infineon potekajo po mnenju Portugalske na Portugalskem in v Maleziji.
If the investment project had not been carried out in Portugal, it would have transferred all its back-end operations to Malaysia, which would have implied that all the jobs in Portugal would have been lost.
Če naložbeni projekt ne bi bil izveden na Portugalskem, bi skupina Infineon vse svoje hrbtne postopke prenesla v Malezijo in s tem povzročila izgubo vseh delovnih mest na Portugalskem.
This fact is supported by the following evidence:
To dejstvo je podprto z naslednjimi podatki:
Portugal produced evidence that the estimated cost of transferring the Portuguese operations to Malaysia was quite low, taking into account the costs of transporting equipment, the compensation paid to workers, the repayment of State subsidies and the gain from the sale of land and buildings.
Portugalska je predložila dodatna dokazila v zvezi z dejstvom, da bi bili ocenjeni stroški prenosa postopkov iz portugalskih objektov v Malezijo precej nizki, ob čemer je treba upoštevati stroške prenosa opreme, nadomestila za delavce, vračila državnih subvencij in kapitalske dobičke iz prodaje zemljišča in objektov.
Operating costs in Malaysia are much lower than in Portugal.
Obratovalni stroški so v Maleziji znatno nižji kot na Portugalskem.
Most back-end operations are located in South East Asia, where the conditions for investment are more attractive thanks to such factors as lower wages (about 50 % of labour costs in Portugal), more flexible labour markets, availability of skilled personnel, lower training costs, lower cost of utilities (energy, water, gas), lower land and civil engineering costs, proximity to clients, availability of suppliers, more flexible policy on subsidies, preferential tax treatment and less stringent environmental requirements.
Večina postopkov hrbtne proizvodnje je v jugovzhodni Aziji, ker ponuja regija privlačnejše naložbene pogoje, kot so nižje plače (približno 50 % stroškov dela na Portugalskem), bolj prilagodljiv trg dela, razpoložljivost kvalificiranih delavcev, nižji stroški izobraževanja, cenejše javne oskrbe (energija, voda, plin), nižje stroške zemljišča in gradnje, zemljepisna bližina kupcem, razpoložljivost dobaviteljev, bolj prilagodljiva politika za podelitev subvencij, ugodnejša davčna obravnava in manj stroge okoljske zahteve.
In the present case, there is no alternative plant in the DRAM sector in Portugal which could take on Infineon’s workers.
Na Portugalskem v sektorju pomnilnikov DRAM v zadevnem primeru ne obstaja drug obrat, ki bi lahko najel delavce družbe Infineon.
Before the investment took place, most of Infineon’s workers were directly or indirectly involved in the production process (an estimated 489 jobs including production lines, research, quality control, etc.).
Pred začetkom naložbe je v postopku proizvodnje družbe Infineon neposredno ali posredno sodelovala večina delavcev (ocenjenih 489 delovnih mest, vključno s proizvodnimi linijami, raziskavami, nadzor kakovosti itd.).
The production jobs were occupied mostly by low skilled workers who had received intensive specific training (geared to the equipment used) and some of whom (in particular those from TI/Samsung) are quite old.
Položaje na področju proizvodnje zasedajo večinoma nizkokvalificirani delavci, ki izkoriščajo posebno intenzivno usposabljanje (ki temelji na uporabljeni opremi); nekateri delavci so precej stari (večinoma nekdanji delavci podjetja TI/Samsung).
It is therefore reasonable to assume that their employability is rather limited.
Zato je razumljiva domneva, da je njihova zaposljivost nekoliko omejena.
As a result of the investment, extensive retraining was needed for the production of higher capacity DRAMs as well as for the introduction of the new product (board on chip).
Kot rezultat naložbe je bil pri usposabljanju za proizvodnjo zmogljivejših pomnilnikov DRAM ter uvedbo novega izdelka (board-on-chip) potreben precejšen trud.
The old products (16 MB and 64 MB chips) were discontinued after the investment took place.
Proizvodnja prejšnjih izdelkov (16-megabajtni in 64-megabajtni čipi) je bila po začetku naložbe ustavljena.
Only the new higher-capacity chips are currently being produced.
Trenutno se kot rezultat naložbe proizvajajo le novi čipi z bolj zmogljivim spominom.
The Commission concludes that there was, in fact, a significant probability that the Portuguese operations would have been shut down had the investment not taken place.
Komisija je ugotovila, da je res obstajala velika verjetnost za opustitev portugalskih procesov, če naložba ne bi bila izvedena.
Accordingly, the Commission considers that the new investment has safeguarded 596 existing jobs and created 252 new jobs, giving a total of 848 jobs.
Komisija zato meni, da nova naložba ščiti 596 obstoječih delovnih mest in ustvarja 252 novih, kar je skupno 848 delovnih mest.
The capital labour factor for an eligible investment of EUR 141036103 that results in the creation and safeguarding of 848 jobs corresponds to a ratio of EUR 166316 per job.
Dejavnik delovnega kapitala za upravičeno naložbo v višini 141036103 EUR, ki vodi k ustvarjanju in obstoju 848 delovnih mest, deluje v razmerju 166316 EUR na delovno mesto.
The ‘I’ factor for adjustment of the maximum intensity is, therefore, set at 1.
Zato je dejavnik „I“ za urejanje največje mogoče intenzivnosti pomoči 1.
Regional impact factor (M)
Dejavnik regionalnega vpliva (M)
The regional impact factor takes into account the beneficial effects of a new aided investment on the economy of the assisted region.
Dejavnik regionalnega vpliva upošteva pozitiven vpliv nove subvencionirane naložbe na gospodarstvo regije, ki prejema pomoč.
The Commission considers that job creation can be used as an indicator of a project’s contribution to the development of a region.
Komisija meni, da je lahko ustvarjanje delovnih mest znak prispevka projekta k razvoju regije.
A capital-intensive investment may create a significant number of indirect jobs in the assisted region concerned and any adjacent assisted regions.
Kapitalsko intenzivna naložba lahko posredno ustvari večje število delovnih mest v zadevni regiji in sosednjih regijah, ki prejemajo pomoč.
Job creation in this context refers to jobs created directly by the project together with jobs created by first-tier suppliers and customers in response to the aided investment.
Ustvarjanje delovnih mest se v tem smislu sklicuje na neposredna delovna mesta, ustvarjena na podlagi projekta, in na delovna mesta, ki so jih kot odgovor na subvencionirano naložbo ustvarili dobavitelji in prva vrsta odjemalcev.
According to Portugal, the project has led to the creation of 30 indirect jobs in the region.
Po mnenju Portugalske je projekt posredno povzročil ustvarjanje 30 delovnih mest v regiji.
These indirect jobs were created at local suppliers of instruments and services.
Ta posredna delovna mesta so ustvarili lokalni dobavitelji opreme in storitev.
Since the figure is modest in relation to the amount of the investment, the Commission presumes that the data are correct.
Ker je številka v primerjavi z obsegom naložbe majhna, Komisija predvideva, da je pravilna.
Moreover, even if no indirect jobs were taken into account, this would have no influence on the determination of the regional impact factor.
Poleg tega tudi morebitno neupoštevanje posredno ustvarjenih delovnih mest ne bi vplivalo na določitev dejavnika regionalnega vpliva.
Therefore, the Commission sets the regional impact factor (M) at 1.
Zato je Komisija določila, da je dejavnik regionalnega vpliva („M“) 1.
Maximum allowable aid
Najvišja dovoljena pomoč
In view of the foregoing, the maximum allowable aid intensity is calculated as follows: 32 % × 1 × 1 × 1 = 32 % net.
Ob upoštevanju zgornjih vidikov se najvišja mogoča odobrena intenzivnost pomoči izračuna na naslednji način: 32 % × 1 × 1 × 1 = 32 % neto.
