France also foresees other problems, stemming from the fact that 75 % of Alstom’s activities are carried out by subcontractors, which, it argues, would result in 112800 additional job losses.
Francija prav tako predvideva druge težave, povezane z dejstvom, da je 75 % poslov Alstoma zaupano pogodbenikom, kar pomeni še dodatnih 112800 izgubljenih delovnih mest.
This figure would be further increased by some 50000 (indirect) job losses in the worst-hit regions.
Tej številki je treba dodati še približno 50000 izgubljenih delovnih mest (neposredno) v najbolj prizadetih regijah.
In France’s view, the total number of job losses to be expected in the event of insolvency would thus total 216400.
Skupno število predvidenih odpovedi v primeru stečaja se bo po oceni Francije povzpelo na 216400.
France further states that any failure of Alstom would indirectly result in […].
Francija prav tako navaja, da bi stečaj Alstoma posredno povzročil še […].
As far as production capacity on the markets on which Alstom operates is concerned, France states that such capacity is very flexible and can easily be adjusted to demand in the medium term, even if cyclical fluctuations in demand may result in short-term overcapacity.
Kar zadeva zmogljivost proizvodnje na trgih, kjer je prisoten Alstom, Francija trdi, da je zmogljivost zelo prilagodljiva in se jo hitro in enostavno prilagodi povpraševanju, tudi če se ciklično nihanje v povpraševanju izkaže za kratkoročni presežek zmogljivosti.
This is currently the case with the Power Turbo-Systems subsector.
To se trenutno dogaja v podsektorju Power Turbo-Systems.
However, France believes that overcapacity can be reabsorbed in the medium term through workforce adjustments.
Francija meni, da je presežek zmogljivosti mogoče ponovno srednjeročno absorbirati s prilagajanjem zaposlenih.
Nor is capacity considered to be a problem in the Transport sector, where production can easily be adapted to demand.
V sektorju Transport zmogljivosti niso obravnavane kot težava, kajti proizvodnjo je mogoče enostavno prilagoditi povpraševanju.
Lastly, in the Marine sector, and in particular in the cruise ship segment, the current crisis is regarded as temporary, given the favourable long-term growth prospects.
Nazadnje je v sektorju Marine, zlasti v segmentu potniških ladij, trenutna kriza le začasna, ob upoštevanju ugodnih napovedi dolgoročne rasti.
On the question of the sale of Alstom’s T&D sector to Areva (measure 7), France provided additional information intended to show that this operation did not involve any state aid.
V zvezi z vprašanjem prodaje sektorja T&D Arevi (ukrep 7) je Francija predložila dodatne podatke, s katerimi je dokazala, da ta transakcija ne zajema nikakršne državne pomoči.
According to France, the agreed price was EUR 950 million, minus the consolidated net debt of the assets transferred.
Po njenem mnenju je dogovorjena cena 950 milijonov EUR, minus konsolidiran dolg prenesenih sredstev.
The operation was carried out in January 2004 at a price […] of EUR 920 million. France stated that Areva’s bid was lower than those made by other potential buyers, but that it was accepted by Alstom as being the most favourable, mainly because Areva was able to pay the price within a limited period, without recourse having to be made to new loans or a capital increase.
Ta transakcija je bila izpeljana januarja 2004 v znesku […] 920 milijonov EUR. Francija je navedla, da je bila ponudba Areve nižja od ponudb drugih potencialnih kupcev, vendar jo je Alstom vseeno sprejel kot najbolj ugodno, zlasti zaradi dejstva, da je Areva sposobna kupnino plačati v omejenem roku, ne da bi za to potrebovali nova posojila ali povečanje kapitala.
Furthermore, in contrast to the other potential buyers, Areva had not requested that Alstom would remain a shareholder in respect of part of the activity transferred.
Poleg tega je Areva, v nasprotju z drugimi potencialnimi kupci, ni zahtevala, da Alstom ostane delničar v prodanem delu podjetja.
France also stated that Areva’s bid price proved to be in line with the value established in a series of valuations carried out by Alstom and Areva.
Francija je prav tako navedla, da je cena, ki jo ponuja Areva, v skladu z vrednostjo, navedeno v več cenitvah, ki sta jih izvedla Alstom in Areva.
The last such valuation, dating from July 2003, indicated a price lying within a range of EUR 1 billion to EUR 1,5 billion.
Zadnja od teh cenitev iz julija 2003 navaja ceno, ki je nekje med 1 in 1,5 milijarde EUR.
As far as measures 8, 9 and 10 are concerned, in its reply of 11 February 2004, France denied having provided guarantees for any of the said transactions.
Kar zadeva ukrepe 8, 9 in 10, je v odgovoru z dne 11 februarja 2004 Francija zanikala, da bi dodelila garancije za katero koli od omenjenih poslov.
However, France admitted having provided [… ‘to’] GdF and to […] the SNCF special back-up conditions for the purchase of the ships.
Nasprotno: Francija je priznala, da je dodelila […„à“] podjetjema GdF in […] SNCF „podporne pogoje“ za nakup ladij.
Following a request from the Commission, France sent a copy of the letters in which these special back-up conditions were set out.
Po zahtevi Komisije je Francija predložila kopije pisem, v katerih je podrobneje določila te podporne pogoje.
In the letters, the state confirmed that if the transactions could not be carried out successfully, it would introduce a compensation procedure.
V teh pismih država potrjuje, da bi bil postopek za plačilo nadomestila uveden, če teh poslov ne bi bilo mogoče uspešno izpeljati.
On the comments from interested parties
Mnenja o pripombah zainteresiranih strani
France notes that the comments sent by interested parties to the Commission come both from Alstom’s competitors and from its employees' unions, suppliers, customers or indeed sub-contractors.
Francija opozarja, da pripombe zainteresiranih strani, naslovljene na Komisijo, prihajajo od konkurentov Alstoma, njegovih sindikatov zaposlenih, dobaviteljev, strank ali pogodbenikov.
It notes the unusual number of opinions that argue in favour of the measures and points out that the third parties express considerable concern at the risk which Alstom’s failure would pose for direct and indirect employment, for the continuation of current contracts, notably in terms of technology transfer, and for sub-contractors.
Opaža nenavadno veliko število pripomb, ki ugovarjajo zadevnim ukrepom, in opozarja, da veliko število zainteresiranih strani izraža resno zaskrbljenost v zvezi s tveganji, ki bi jih povzročilo prenehanje poslovanja Alstoma na direktno in indirektno zaposlovanje, v zvezi z nadaljevanjem izvajanja trenutnih pogodb, zlasti v zvezi s prenosom tehnologije ali v zvezi s pogodbeniki.
Other opinions are regarded as being neutral by France.
Za druge pripombe Francija meni, da so nevtralne.
France observes that only two of the many interested third parties, one being Siemens, have expressed opposition to the proposed measures.
Francija prav tako meni, da sta le dve od zainteresiranih strani – ena je Siemens – izrazili nasprotovanje predvidenim ukrepom.
France disputes the claims made by Siemens, which considers in particular that Alstom’s Transport sector might be showing signs of weakness.
Francija je ugovarjala trditvam Siemensa, ki meni, da zlasti sektor Transport skupine Alstom lahko kaže znake šibkosti.
It states that the decline in the operating margin of that sector was due solely to Alstom’s ad hoc difficulties and that the profitability outlook up to 2005/2006 is wholly favourable.
Navaja, da je operativna marža omenjenega sektorja povezana izključno z ad hoc težavami Alstoma in da so napovedi donosnosti do leta 2005/2006 ugodne.
Furthermore, Siemens takes the view that there is overcapacity in the rail sector as a whole, whereas the other interested third party takes the view that such overcapacity applies only to the rolling stock segment.
Siemens poleg tega ocenjuje, da obstaja presežek zmogljivosti v železniškem sektorju kot celoti, druge zainteresirane strani pa menijo, da ta presežek velja le za segment voznih sredstev.
In both cases, France disputes the assessment and notes in particular that the site closures which it has undertaken relate only to specific local overcapacity.
V obeh primerih Francija ugovarja navedenim ocenam in opozarja, da bo zaprtje na nekaterih lokacijah prizadelo le določene lokalne presežke zmogljivosti.
In addition, France points out that Alstom is continuing its restructuring efforts.
Med drugim Francija poudarja, da Alstom nadaljuje s prizadevanji pri prestrukturiranju.
As regards the Power sector, France stresses the advanced technology which Alstom possesses.
Kar zadeva sektor Power, Francija vztraja na napredni tehnologiji, ki jo ima Alstom.
It explains that the decline in margins pointed to by Siemens between 1999 and 2003 is linked to major, but ad hoc, technical problems with the GT24 and GT26 gas turbines, problems which have now been solved.
Razlaga, da poslabšanje marž med leti 1999 in 2003, kar je omenjal Siemens, povezano z tehničnimi težavami pri plinskih turbinah GT24 in GT26, to pa so težave, ki so sedaj že odpravljene.
France also points out that the Power Turbo-Systems subsector does not present any structural problem, contrary to what Siemens claims.
Francija prav tako poudarja, da podsektor Power Turbo-Systems ne predstavlja strukturnega problema, kot to navaja Siemens.
It also points out that considerable capacity reductions have been undertaken in that sector following the selling-off of the Industrial Turbines business to Siemens and the T&D business to Areva and that it is pursuing its restructuring efforts.
Prav tako poudarja, da je bilo v tem sektorju uvedeno znatno zmanjšanje zmogljivosti takoj po prodaji poslov industrijskih turbin Siemensu in poslov T&D Arevi in da nadaljuje svoja prizadevanja pri prestrukturiranju.
One of the third parties points out the major importance of contract bonds in the transport sector and is sharply critical of the bank guarantees obtained by Alstom as a result of the counter-guarantee granted by the state.
Ena od zainteresiranih strani opozarja, da so garancije v sektorju Transport zelo pomembne. in ostro ugovarja bančnim garancijam, ki jih je Alstom pridobil kot rezultat indirektnih garancij države.
France points out in this respect that the guarantees were used in line with the historical needs of the group and that Alstom's bonding practice has not changed since the aid was granted.
Francija je v zvezi s tem poudarila, da so uporabljene garancije v skladu z zgodovinskimi potrebami skupine in prakso dodeljevanja garancij za Alstom, ki ni bila spremenjena od dodelitve zadevne pomoči.
It states that the third party's proposal regarding the granting of guarantees by sector is not feasible given the financial structure of groups such as Alstom, GE and Siemens.
Francija navaja, da predlog zainteresiranih strani v zvezi z dodelitvijo garancij po sektorjih ni izvedljiv zaradi finančne strukture skupin, kot so Alstom, GE in tudi Siemens.
France also disputes Siemens's comments doubting the effectiveness of Alstom's restructuring plan and doubting the group's chances of becoming viable again.
Francija prav tako ugovarja pripombam Siemensa, ki dvomi v učinkovitost načrta prestrukturiranja in sposobnost dolgoročnega preživetja skupine.
It is also critical of Siemen's comments on the undue distortions of competition that might result from the measures and is therefore against any additional divestiture suggested by Siemens to offset such effects.
Med drugim ugovarja tem pripombam v zvezi z izkrivljanjem konkurence, ki bi lahko izhajala iz zadevnih ukrepov, in je zato proti dodatni odprodaji, kot to predlaga Siemens.
Lastly, France is opposed to any request for the opening-up of intellectual property rights called for by the other third party regarding the TGV and/or signalling.
Francija nasprotuje tudi kateri koli zahtevi za sprostitev pravic intelektualne lastnine v zvezi z zainteresiranimi stranmi za TGV in/ali signalizacijo.
France points out, firstly, that Alstom is no longer active in the relevant branch and, secondly, that it has provided evidence that the sale to Areva did not involve any elements of state aid.
Francija opaža, da na eni strani Alstom v zadevnih dejavnostih ni več aktiven in da je predložila dokazila, da prodaja Arevi ni vključevala nobenih elementov državne pomoči.
Commitments given by France and the company
Obveznosti Francije in podjetja
In France's letter of 26 May 2004 to the Commission, France undertook that Alstom would conclude one or more industrial partnerships, within a period of four years.
V pismu Francije Komisiji z dne 26. maja 2004 se Francija obvezuje, da bo Alstom v roku štirih let sklenil enega ali več industrijskih partnerstev.
The partnerships will relate to significant parts of Alstom's business.
Ta partnerstva so povezana z znatnimi deli dejavnosti Alstoma.
The partnerships will not, without prior Commission approval, relate to undertakings controlled de jure or de facto, individually or jointly, by the state.
Brez predhodnega soglasja Komisije ta partnerstva ne zadevajo podjetij, katerih poslovanje nadzira država, de jure ali de facto, neodvisno ali skupno.
France also undertakes that a joint venture, in which Alstom will retain joint control and will hold a maximum of 50 % of the capital, will be set up with a partner to cover Alstom's ‘Hydro Power’ business [14] (in 2002/2003, turnover of EUR 879 million and workforce of 4680).
Poleg tega se Francija obvezuje, da bo skupna družba, v kateri bo Alstom ohranil nadzor in obdržal najmanj 50 % kapitala, ustanovljena s partnerjem, ki bo prevzel Alstomovo dejavnost „Hydro Power“ [14] (leta 2002/2003, 879 milijonov EUR dobička in 4680 zaposlenih).
This transaction will be completed within a period of […].
Takšna dejavnost bo v celoti izvedena v roku […].
France also undertakes to withdrawn from Alstom's capital within 12 months of Alstom obtaining an investment grade rating.
Francija se prav tako obveže, da bo umaknila udeležbo pri kapitalu v dvanajstih mesecih od datuma, ko bo Alstom pridobil „investicijsko stopnjo“.
France undertakes that Alstom will divest itself of some of its activities in the energy and transport fields.
Francija se obveže, da bo Alstom prodal več dejavnosti na področju energije in transporta.
The divestitures include the freight locomotive business in Valencia (in 2002/2003, turnover of EUR 92 million and workforce of 380), all of the Transport sector's activities in Australia and New Zealand (in 2003/2004, turnover of EUR 227 million and workforce of 2172), and industrial boiler activities [15] (in 2003/2004, turnover of EUR 442 million).
Gre za tovarno tovornih lokomotiv v kraju Valence (leta 2002/2003 dobiček 92 milijonov EUR, zaposlenih 380 oseb), skupne posle sektorjev Transport v Avstraliji in Novi Zelandiji (leta 2003/2004 dobiček 227 milijonov EUR in 2172 zaposlenih), pa tudi posle na področju industrijskih ogrevalnih kotlov [15] (leta 2003/2004 dobiček 442 milijonov EUR).
Each of these divestitures will be carried out within a period of […].
Vsaka od teh prodaj bo izvedena v roku […].
France undertakes that Alstom will set up or stabilise a dedicated management to ensure the proper administration of each of the activities sold off and establish a single trustee responsible for monitoring the proper implementation of the commitment on these three divestitures.
Francija se obveže, da bo Alstom vzpostavil ali stabiliziral namensko upravljanje za zagotavljanje dobrega upravljanja vsakega od prodanih poslov in določitev skrbnika, ki bo nadziral pravilno izvajanje teh treh prodaj.
They must be carried out within a period of […].
Izvedene morajo biti v roku […].
Lastly, France undertakes that Alstom will dispose of […] within a period of […].
Na koncu se Francija obveže, da bo Alstom prodal […] v roku […].
France also undertakes to send the Commission annually, for four years, a report checked by an expert appointed by Alstom and approved by the Commission.
Francija se prav tako obveže, da bo Komisiji vsako leto, štiri leta, poslala poročilo, ko ga bo potrdil strokovnjak, ki ga določi Alstom, potrdi pa Komisija.
The expert's task will be to check that the margins achieved on average, annually, by subsector, on the contracts signed by the company in the Transport sector are compatible with the business plan and, in the event of any discrepancy, do not indicate any predatory pricing.
Ta strokovnjak bo moral preveriti, ali so povprečno dosežene marže, na leto, za podsektor, za pogodbe podpisane s podjetjem v sektorju Transport usklajene s poslovnim načrtom in v primeru razhajanja s poslovnim načrtom ne nakazujejo protikonkurenčnih cen.
Furthermore France undertakes that Alstom will not make any acquisitions in the Transport sector, within the European Economic Area, involving an amount in excess of EUR 200 million (company value) over the next four years.
Poleg tega se Francija obveže, da Alstom naslednjih štirih letih ne bo izvajal nakupov podjetij v sektorju Transport v evropskem gospodarskem prostoru, v znesku, ki presega 200 milijonov EUR (vrednost podjetja).
As far as the structural measures for opening up the French rolling-stock market are concerned, France undertakes to:
Kar zadeva strukturne ukrepe za odprtje francoskega trga za železniški vozni park, se Francija za naslednje točke obveže:
forward to the Commission, on request, opinions drawn up by Réseau Ferré de France (the French railway infrastructure manager) on the issuing of safety certificates and the technical files on which they are based;

Market analysis [19]
Analiza trga [19]
Alstom is an engineering group which designs, manufactures and provides maintenance for products and systems in three main sectors: power generation, rail transport and shipbuilding [20].
Alstom je tehniška skupina, ki načrtuje, izdeluje in zagotavlja vzdrževanje izdelkov in sistemov v treh glavnih sektorjih: proizvodnji energije, železniškem transportu in ladjedelništvu [20].
The Commission based its assessment of the markets on its own analyses, industry reports and the report of its consultant BearingPoint France SAS.
Ocena trgov Komisije temelji na lastnih analizah, na poročilih industrije in poročilu svetovalca BearingPoint France SAS.
The figures referred to derive from that assessment and are approximate.
Iz te ocene izhajajo tudi navedene številke, ki so približne.
Power generation
Proizvodnja energije
The world market for power generation infrastructures and maintenance services is currently worth around EUR 150 billion a year.
Svetovni trg storitev infrastrukture in vzdrževanja za proizvodnjo energije trenutno predstavlja 150 milijard EUR na leto.
North America and Asia are the largest markets, each accounting for nearly 30 %.
Severna Amerika in Azija sta najpomembnejša trga, vsak predstavlja približno 30 %.
Four players offer a wide range of products and have significant market shares at world level: GE, Alstom, Siemens and Mitsubishi HI.
Drugi akterji ponujajo širok spekter izdelkov in na svetovni ravni zasedajo znatne dele trga.: GE, Alstom, Siemens in Mitsubishi HI.
Toshiba is also significant in terms of sales, but focuses mainly on steam turbines.
Toshiba je zelo pomembna v zvezi s prodajo, vendar se osredotoča predvsem na parne turbine.
GE is increasingly the market leader with an average yearly market share of 23 % in the overall power generation markets in the period from 1992 to 2002.
GE hitro postaja vodilni na trgu s povprečnim letnim tržnim deležem 23 % za vse trge proizvodnje energije, od 1992 do 2002.
GE is strongest in North America (more than 50 % market share) and in gas turbines (more than 50 % market share).
GE ima najmočnejši položaj v Severni Ameriki (več kot 50 % trga) in na trgu plinskih turbin (več kot 50 % trga).
During the same period, Alstom was in second place with an overall market share of 14 %.
V tem obdobju je Alstom osvojil drugo mesto s skupnim tržnim deležem 14 %.
The power generation market is currently experiencing a downturn after a substantial increase in orders between 1998 and 2001 with orders increasing from 136 to 219 GW/year during that period but returning to 1998 levels by 2002 (138 GW/year).
Trenutno naročila za elektrarne padajo, po znatnem vzponu med leti 1998 in 2001, ko so narasle s 136 na 219 GW/leto in leta 2002 padle na raven iz leta 1998 (138 GW/leto).
Demand is expected to remain subdued in the medium term (on average, around […] GW/year up to 2005).
Pričakovati je, da bo povpraševanje srednjeročno ostalo šibko (v povprečju […] GW/leto, do leta 2005).
In the longer term, however, demand is forecast to be approximately […] GW/year between 2005 and 2010.
Dolgoročno naj bi povpraševanje vseeno doseglo […] GW/leto med letoma 2005 in 2010.
