Lastly, CIRFS expects the market to remain highly competitive and low-margin for several years, not only because of competition between Community producers but also because of the pressure from dumped imports.
CIRFS pričakuje, da bo trg ostal močno konkurenčen in da bodo marže ostale nižje več let, ne le zaradi konkurence med proizvajalci Skupnosti, ampak tudi zaradi dampinškega uvoza.
The comments from Profibra can be summarised as follows:
Lahko povzamemo naslednje pripombe Profibra.
Profibra expressed its concerns regarding the aid to Sioen by letter dated 15 July 2003.
Profibra je v pismu z dne 15. julija 2003 izrazila zaskrbljenost v zvezi s pomočjo podjetju Sioen.
There would be no circumstances in which Sioen’s aid application would be justified.
Nobena okoliščina ne upravičuje zahteve podjetja Sioen za pomoč.
Profibra points out that the capacity increase sought by Sioen is equivalent to 74,4 % of its current capacity, which accounts for 3,5 % of total European capacity.
Profibra opazuje, da je rast zmogljivosti podjetja Sioen 74,4 % dejanske zmogljivosti, kar je enako 3,5 % skupne evropske zmogljivosti.
In the current employment circumstances, in a globalised environment and with no barriers to access to the European market, the aid application would lack any entrepreneurial or economic logic.
V sedanjih pogojih za zaposlitev, v globaliziranem okolju in ob pomanjkanju omejitev dostopa do evropskega trga zahteva po pomoči ne ustreza nobeni podjetniški ali gospodarski logiki.
Profibra also contests the view that there would be a supply shortage, given that the capacity utilisation rate was 86,7 % in 2000 and 89,5 % in 2001.
Profibra ugovarja trditvi o pomanjkanju ponudbe, ker sta bili stopnji uporabe zmogljivosti v letu 2000 86,7 % in v letu 2001 89,5 %.
It also refers to a major increase in imports and points out that a company in the sector is most likely to make losses if it is not using at least 85 % to 90 % of its capacity.
Prav tako se sklicuje na pomembno rast uvoza in ugotavlja, da lahko v sektorju podjetje, ki ne doseže najmanjše ravni uporabe svojih zmogljivosti v višini najmanj 85 do 90 %, po vsej verjetnosti le ustvarja izgube.
The comments from Belgium on the doubts raised by the Commission when it opened the investigation procedure and on the third-party comments can be summarised as follows:
Lahko povzamemo naslednje pripombe Belgije o izraženih dvomih Komisije v sklepu o začetku preiskovalnega postopka in o pripombah zainteresiranih strank.
Belgium points out that CIRFS and Profibra are trade associations which represent the main producers of high-tenacity polyester industrial filament yarn and of which Sioen is not a member.
Belgija ugotavlja, da sta CIRFS in Profibra strokovni združenji, ki zastopata glavne proizvajalce industrijske preje iz poliestrskih filamentov z visoko odpornostjo, vendar Sioen ni njun član.
It questions the impartiality of these comments, which are considered unfounded, imprecise and ambiguous.
Belgija dvomi o nepristranskosti teh pripomb in meni, da so neutemeljene, netočne in dvoumne.
The Commission is asked to evaluate the comments carefully, particularly as there are no official statistics available for the relevant market.
Od Komisije zahteva, da te pripombe presoja previdno, zlasti ker ne razpolaga z uradno statistiko za zadevni trg.
As regards the question whether there is a structural supply shortage, Belgium notes that there are no official statistics available for high-tenacity polyester industrial filament yarn.
V zvezi z vprašanjem, ali obstaja strukturno pomanjkanje ponudbe, Belgija opaža, da ne razpolaga z uradno statistiko za industrijsko prejo iz poliestrskih filamentov z visoko odpornostjo.
Sioen gathered information on production capacity and consumption from the main producers present on the market in order to obtain the best possible estimate of the capacity utilisation rate.
Sioen je zbral podatke o zmogljivostih proizvodnje in o porabi pri glavnih proizvajalcih na trgu, da bi pridobil najboljšo možno oceno stopnje uporabe zmogljivosti.
On the basis of this information, which was provided in tempore non suspecto, Belgium explains that the capacity utilisation rate for high-tenacity polyester industrial filament yarn exceeds 90 %.
Na osnovi teh podatkov, ki so bili zagotovljeni in tempore non suspecto, Belgija pojasnjuje, da stopnja uporabe zmogljivosti za industrijsko prejo iz poliestrskih filamentov z visoko odpornostjo presega 90 %.
It concluded that the sector was characterised by a structural supply shortage during the period 2000 to 2002, and it is claimed that this has been confirmed by several experts.
Belgijski organi sklepajo, da je bil sektor opredeljen kot strukturno pomanjkanje ponudbe v obdobju od leta 2000 do leta 2002, kar je potrdilo več strokovnjakov.
In this connection, Sioen also explains that the yarn which it produces has a high value added and that the market has been characterised by a relatively high degree of price stability since 1999.
Zato Sioen pojasnjuje, da vsebuje preja iz filamenta, ki jo proizvaja, povečano dodano vrednost in da je za trg značilna močna stalnost cen od leta 1999.
It also rejects the allegations made by CIRFS regarding the strong pressure on profit margins in the sector, arguing that its members are active in less profitable markets than the one for high-tenacity polyester filament yarn, while Sioen’s good results are due to extensive R & D activities aimed at continuous quality improvements and to the fact that it is present on very profitable niche markets.
Podjetje prav tako zavrača trditve CIRFS, ki meni, da so profitne marže utrpele močne pritiske v tem sektorju. V zvezi s tem ocenjuje, da delujejo članice CIRFS na manj donosnih trgih, kot je trg preje iz poliestrskih filamentov z visoko odpornostjo, medtem ko dolguje Sioen dobre rezultate pomembnim dejavnostim raziskav in razvoja, usmerjenim k stalnemu izboljšanju kakovosti in prisotnosti na zelo donosnih nišnih trgih.
Belgium considers Sioen’s capacity increase to be in accordance with the Code.
Belgija ocenjuje, da je rast zmogljivosti Sioen v skladu z okvirom.
In determining whether or not a change in capacity is significant, the Commission should, in line with the Code, consider a number of different elements.
Za ugotovitev, ali je sprememba zmogljivosti pomembna ali ne, mora Komisija v skladu z okvirom upoštevati več elementov.
Firstly, Belgium points out that the additional production resulting from Sioen's capacity increase is used entirely within the group.
Prvič, Belgija ugotavlja, da je dodatna proizvodnja, ki izhaja iz naraščanja zmogljivosti Sioen, v celoti porabljena znotraj skupine.
Sioen's production would not have any impact on the prices or profit margins of the other producers of high-tenacity polyester filament yarn.
Proizvodnja Sioen ne bi imela nobene posledice na cene ali profitne marže drugih proizvajalcev poliestrskih filamentov z visoko odpornostjo.
Secondly, the aid concerns a high-technology investment project which will allow Sioen to supply its group with a product that has very specific characteristics.
Drugič, pomoč zadeva investicijski projekt za visoko tehnologijo, ki omogoča Sioen, da svoji skupini omogoči izdelek s posebnimi značilnostmi.
This internally developed and constantly improved polyester industrial filament yarn is not available on the market.
Preja iz poliestrskih filamentov, notranje razvita in s stalnimi izboljšavami, ni na voljo na trgu.
Consequently, Sioen's capacity increase is motivated by its vertical integration and the production will be used entirely within the group.
Zato je rast zmogljivosti Sioen utemeljena z vertikalno integracijo in bo proizvodnja v celoti porabljena znotraj skupine.
Thirdly, Belgium underlines the fact that the capacity increase of 3,5 % is not significant in relation to the European market and is below the rate of 5 %, which was not considered as a significant increase by the Commission in its decision with regard to Sioen in 1999 [7].
Tretjič, Belgija poudarja, da rast 3,5 % zmogljivosti ni pomembna v zvezi z evropskim trgom in da je manjša od stopnje 5 %, kar Komisija v sklepu iz leta 1999 v zvezi s Sioen [7] obravnava kot nepomembno rast.
If the Commission were to decide in the present case to assess the capacity increase at company level and not in relation to the European market, this would be in contradiction with its 1999 decision.
Če bi se Komisija v tem primeru odločila oceniti rast zmogljivosti na ravni družbe in ne v zvezi z evropskim trgom, bi bilo to v nasprotju s sklepom iz leta 1999.
Lastly, Belgium stresses that an assessment of the capacity increase at company level would discriminate against small producers as a given capacity increase would lead to a relatively lower increase in the case of a large company with an already high production capacity.
Na koncu Belgija poudarja, da bi bilo ocenjevanje rasti zmogljivosti na ravni družb diskriminacijsko glede na majhne proizvajalce, ker dana rast zmogljivosti vodi do sorazmerno šibke stopnje rasti v primeru velike družbe, ki že ima visoko zmogljivost proizvodnje.
Article 87(1) of the Treaty lays down the principle that, except where otherwise provided, aid which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods is, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, incompatible with the common market.
Člen 87(1) Pogodbe navaja načelo po katerem so, razen drugačnih določb, pomoči, ki izkrivljajo ali bi lahko izkrivljale konkurenco z dajanjem prednosti posameznim podjetjem ali proizvodnji posameznega blaga, nezdružljive s skupnim trgom, kolikor prizadenejo trgovino med državami članicami.
The proposed aid to Sioen consists of a grant to be financed through State resources.
Pomoč za Sioen je sestavljena iz subvencije, financirane iz javnih sredstev.
It will allow the company to carry out the investment in question without having to bear the full cost.
Omogoča podjetju, da uresniči zadevno naložbo, ne da bi moral v celoti prevzeti strošek.
Sioen operates in a sector of activity where trade between Member States is substantial and where the conditions of competitions are difficult, as evidenced by the existence until 31 December 2002 of a specific Code [8].
Sioen deluje v sektorju dejavnosti, v katerem so izmenjave med državami članicami pomembne in v katerem so konkurenčni pogoji težki, kot to potrjuje obstoj sektorskega okvira do 31. decembra 2002 [8].
The proposed grant to Sioen therefore constitutes aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Predvidena subvencija za Sioen zato predstavlja pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe.
Article 87(2) of the Treaty lists the types of aid that are compatible with the Treaty.
Člen 87(2) Pogodbe navaja seznam vrst pomoči, ki so združljive s Pogodbo.
In view of the nature and purpose of the aid and the geographical location of the firm, subparagraphs (a), (b) and (c) are not applicable to the plan in question.
Ob upoštevanju narave in predmeta predvidene pomoči ter geografskega položaja podjetja točke (a), (b) in (c) navedenega odstavka ne veljajo za zadevni projekt.
Article 87(3) specifies other forms of aid which can be regarded as being compatible with the common market.
Člen 87(3) Pogodbe določa druge oblike pomoči, ki se lahko obravnavajo kot združljive s skupnim trgom.
The Commission notes that the project is located in the area of Blanc Ballot in Mouscron (Hainaut region), which qualifies for assistance under Article 87(3)(c).
Komisija ugotavlja, da se projekt izvaja v coni Blanc Ballot v Mouscronu (regija Hainaut), ki je upravičena do pomoči ob uporabi člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe.
The maximum aid intensity is 17,5 % net grant equivalent for large firms.
Največja intenzivnost pomoči je za velika podjetja 17,5 % v neto ekvivalentu subvencije.
Belgium intends to grant an aid intensity equivalent to 50 % of the regional aid ceiling.
Belgija namerava dodeliti 50 % zgornje meje intenzivnosti pomoči, ki velja za regionalne pomoči.
Since 1977 the conditions under which aid may be granted to synthetic fibres producers by way of support for such activities are set out in a Code whose terms and scope have been amended from time to time, most recently in 1996 [9].
Od leta 1977 so pogoji, ki urejajo dodelitev pomoči proizvajalcem sintetičnih vlaken kot podporo takšnim dejavnostim, določeni z okvirom, katere besedilo in področje uporabe sta bila večkrat spremenjena, nazadnje leta 1996 [9].
On 1 January 2003 the Code ceased to apply and no more regional aid is admissible for the synthetic fibres industry [10].
Od 1. januarja 2003 okvir ne velja več in nobena pomoč za industrijo sintetičnih vlaken ni več sprejemljiva [10].
However, in accordance with the last sentence of point 39 of the Commission communication on the multisectoral framework on regional aid for large investment projects [11], ‘(…) notifications registered by the Commission before 1 January 2003 for (…) the synthetic fibres sector will be examined in the light of the criteria in force at the time of notification’.
Vendar v skladu z zadnjim stavkom točke 39 Sporočila Komisije o večsektorskem okviru za regionalno pomoč, namenjeno večjim investicijskim projektom [11], „obvestila, ki jih je zabeležila Komisija, pred 1. januarjem 2003 za […] sektor sintetičnih vlaken, bodo pregledali ob upoštevanju meril, veljavnih v času obvestila“.
As the aid in the present case was notified on 20 December 2002, it has therefore to be assessed under the Code.
Ker je bila zadevna pomoč objavljena 20. decembra 2002, se mora zato oceniti v zvezi z okvirom.
The Code requires the notification of any proposal to grant aid, in whatever form and irrespective of whether or not the Commission has authorised the scheme concerned, where the aid would not satisfy the de minimis criterion, to synthetic fibres producers by way of direct support for:
Okvir zahteva objavo vseh projektov, namenjenih za dodelitev pomoči, ki ne ustrezajo merilom de minimis, ki sestavljajo neposredno podporo, proizvajalcem sintetičnih vlaken, v kateri koli obliki in če je Komisija pooblastila ustrezno shemo ali ne:
extrusion/texturisation of all generic types of fibre and yarn based on polyester, polyamide, acrylic or polypropylene, irrespective of their end-uses, or
pri iztiskanju in/ali pri tkanju vseh določenih vrst tkiv in prej na osnovi poliestra, poliamida, akrila ali polipropilena, za katero koli končno uporabo, ali
polymerisation (including polycondensation) where it is integrated with extrusion in terms of the machinery used, or
pri polimerizaciji (vključno s polikondenzacijo), ker je ta vključena v iztiskanje na ravni uporabljene opreme, ali
any ancillary process linked to the contemporaneous installation of extrusion/texturisation capacity by the prospective beneficiary or by another company in the group to which it belongs and which, in the specific business activity concerned, is normally integrated with such capacity in terms of the machinery used.
pri vsakem postopku, ki spada zraven in je povezan z istočasno namestitvijo zmogljivosti iztiskanja in/ali tkanja prihodnjega upravičenca ali druge družbe skupine, ki ji pripada in ki je pri zadevni posebni industrijski dejavnosti običajno vključen v to zmogljivost na ravni uporabljene opreme.
In the case in question, the proposed aid would be granted in support of the production of synthetic fibres which fall within the scope of the Code, namely the installation of new capacity for the extrusion of polyester industrial filament yarn.
V tem primeru bo predvidena pomoč dodeljena za podporo proizvodnje sintetičnih vlaken, ki spadajo na področje uporabe okvira, in sicer namestitve nove zmogljivosti iztiskanja industrijske preje iz poliestrskih filamentov.
It was, therefore, correctly notified to the Commission.
Komisija je bila o pomoči ustrezno obveščena.
The Code sets out the criteria to be applied when the Commission scrutinises proposals coming within the scope of control.
Okvir navaja uporabna merila ob preiskavi projektov s področja uporabe nadzora s strani Komisije.
It states among other things that, in assessing the compatibility of the proposed aid, the fundamental consideration is the effect of that aid on the markets for the relevant products, namely the fibre/yarn whose production would be supported by the aid.
Predvideva zlasti, da je za ocenitev združljivosti načrtovanih pomoči bistveno upoštevanje njihovega vpliva na trg zadevnih izdelkov, torej vlaken ali prej, katerih proizvodnjo bodo podprle zadevne pomoči.
According to the Code, investment aid for larger firms, i.e. firms that are not small or medium-sized enterprises, will be authorised only at up to 50 % of the applicable aid ceiling if the aid would result in a significant reduction in the relevant capacity or if the market for the relevant products was characterised by a structural shortage of supply and the aid would not result in a significant increase in the relevant capacity.
V skladu z okvirom so pomoči za naložbe za velika podjetja, torej za podjetja, ki niso majhna ali srednje velika podjetja, odobrene 50 % zgornje meje veljavne pomoči, le če pomoč povzroči pomembno znižanje ustreznih zmogljivosti ali če je za trg zadevnih izdelkov značilno strukturno pomanjkanje ponudbe in če pomoč ne povzroči pomembne rasti zadevnih zmogljivosti.
Sioen ranks as a large firm since the group to which it belongs has more than 250 employees and an annual turnover exceeding EUR 40 million [12].
Sioen ima statut velikega podjetja, ker zaposluje skupina, v katero spada, več kot 250 oseb in ustvarja prihodek višji od 40 milijonov EUR [12].
The Commission considers that the capacity increase must be assessed at company level.
Komisija meni, da se mora rast zmogljivosti oceniti na ravni družbe.
Consequently, in assessing the capacity changes associated with the aided project, the beneficiary’s capacity before the aid is granted has to be compared with its capacity after the aid is granted (adding the increase in capacity arising from the aid and deducting the capacity that will be scrapped).
Zato je treba za ocenitev sprememb zmogljivosti v zvezi s projektom, upravičenim do pomoči, primerjati zmogljivost upravičenca pred dodelitvijo pomoči in po njej (z dodajanjem dodatne zmogljivosti, ki izhaja iz projekta, in z odštevanjem zmogljivosti, ki bodo zavržene).
In its comments, Belgium referred to the Commission decision of 28 July 1999 [13], in which no objections were raised to aid for Sioen.
Belgija se je v pripombah sklicevala na sklep Komisije z dne 28. julija 1999 [13], v katerem ni ugovarjala pomoči podjetju Sioen.
It points out that, in that case, Sioen’s capacity increase was assessed in relation to the total market capacity and the resulting 5 % capacity increase was not considered significant.
Belgija ugotavlja, da je bila v tem primeru rast zmogljivosti podjetja Sioen ocenjena v zvezi s skupno zmogljivostjo trga in da rast zmogljivosti 5 %, ki iz tega izhaja, ni bila ocenjena kot pomembna.
However, the Commission considers that the situation then was quite exceptional and differed from the present case in that, at the time, the company did not have any extrusion capacity at all before the investment.
Komisija meni, da smo v tem primeru priča izjemnemu stanju, različnemu od tistega, ki prevladuje v tem primeru in v tem času, družba pred naložbo ni imela na voljo nobene zmogljivosti iztiskanja.
The assessment of the new capacity in relation to total market capacity was justified in that particular case because Sioen was a new market entrant without any production capacity for the relevant product.
Ocena nove zmogljivosti v zvezi s skupno zmogljivostjo trga je bila v tem primeru upravičena, ker je bilo podjetje Sioen novinec na trgu in ni imelo na voljo nobene zmogljivosti proizvodnje za zadevni izdelek.
If the Commission had assessed the capacity at company level, any new capacity of the new market entrant would, by definition, have resulted in a ‘significant’ increase.
Če bi Komisija ocenila zmogljivost na ravni družbe, bi vsa nova zmogljivost novinca na trgu praviloma obsegala „pomembno“ rast.
Such an approach would have discriminated against new market entrants.
Takšen pristop bi bil diskriminacijski glede na novince na trgu.
Sioen is now an established producer with pre-existing production capacity and there is, therefore, no longer any justification for deviating from the Commission's standard practice of assessing capacity at company level.
Zdaj je Sioen uveljavljen proizvajalec, ki ima na voljo zmogljivost že prej obstoječe proizvodnje, in se zato ni več upravičeno oddaljiti od stalne prakse Komisije, da oceni zmogljivost na ravni družbe.
As regards Belgium's argument that, in case of a structural supply shortage, the capacity increase should be assessed in relation to total market capacity, the Commission notes that the Code does not provide for different capacity measurements depending on whether or not there is a structural supply shortage.
V zvezi s trditvijo Belgije, da se mora v primeru strukturnega pomanjkanja ponudbe rast zmogljivosti oceniti v zvezi s skupno zmogljivostjo trga, Komisija opaža, da okvir ne predvideva različnih ukrepov zmogljivosti glede na to, ali strukturno pomanjkanje ponudbe obstaja ali ne.
The Code already sets less strict conditions if there is a structural supply shortage in that, in the case of large firms, it does not require that the aid result in a ‘significant capacity reduction’ but only that it does ‘not result in a significant capacity increase’.
Okvir že ureja manj stroge pogoje, če obstaja strukturno pomanjkanje ponudbe, ker ne zahteva od velikih podjetij, da pomoč povzroči „pomembno znižanje zmogljivosti“, ampak le da ne povzroči „pomembne rasti zmogljivosti“.
It does not provide, as an additional advantage, that the capacity increase is measured, in the case of a structural supply shortage, not at company level but in relation to total market capacity.
Okvir, kot dodatno prednost, ne predvideva, da v primeru strukturnega pomanjkanja ponudbe rast zmogljivosti ne bo ocenjena na ravni družbe, ampak v zvezi s skupno zmogljivostjo trga.
Accordingly, irrespective of whether the market is characterised by a structural supply shortage, the aid may not, in any event, result in a significant capacity increase.
Ne glede na to, ali bo ali ne bo za trg značilno strukturno pomanjkanje ponudbe, pomoč ne more v nobenem primeru povzročiti pomembne rasti zmogljivosti.
Following the opening of the procedure, Belgium confirmed and explained to the Commission on the basis of documents provided by the machine manufacturer that tailor-made machines could not easily be adapted to produce different types of fibre.
Po začetku postopka je Belgija na osnovi dokumentov proizvajalca strojev potrdila in razložila Komisiji, da se posebni stroji ne morejo brez težav prilagoditi za proizvodnjo različnih vrst vlaken.
On this basis, the Commission accepts the method used to measure capacity.
Na tej osnovi je Komisija sprejela metodo, ki se uporablja za ocenitev zmogljivosti.
According to Belgium, the investment raises the production capacity for polyester industrial filament yarn from 8500 tonnes per year in 2002 to 14850 tonnes per year from 2003 onwards (based on an average decitex of 1100 dtex), which represents a significant increase of around 75 % at company level.
Belgija meni, da je naložba presegla zmogljivost proizvodnje industrijske preje iz poliestrskih filamentov z 8500 ton v letu 2002 na 14850 ton na leto od leta 2003 naprej (na osnovi povprečnega deciteksa 1100 dtex), kar pomeni pomembno rast okrog 75 % na ravni družbe.
In the Commission's view, the fact that Sioen increases its capacity significantly dispenses with the need to decide whether or not the market is characterised by a structural supply shortage in this particular case.
Komisija meni, da zaradi pomembnega povečanja zmogljivosti Sioen ni potrebno obravnavati, ali v tem primeru obstaja strukturno pomanjkanje ponudbe na trgu.
