natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
The group with a limited choice after the merger consist, inter alia, of those customers who do not find one of the two products suitable for their needs; those customers who prefer to run their software on a non-Oracle database [2]; those customers who would like to terminate its relationship with one of the two; those customers who, in order to avoid being dependent on one supplier, would prefer to purchase their FMS and HR software from two different suppliers and those customers who would prefer not to license both the software and the database from the same supplier.
Kupci, ki bi po združitvi imeli omejene možnosti izbire, so med drugim tudi tisti, ki jim eden izmed dveh izdelkov ne ustreza, ki svojo programsko opremo rajši uporabljajo v povezavi s podatkovno bazo, ki ni Oraclova [2], ki bi radi prekinili uporabo izdelka enega od dveh ponudnikov, ki bi svojo programsko opremo FMS in HR rajši kupili od dveh različnih dobaviteljev, da ne bi bili odvisni samo od enega, in tisti, ki bi rajši imeli programsko opremo enega in podatkovno bazo drugega dobavitelja.
In light of the conclusions regarding the market definition, it is not possible for the Commission to uphold its preliminary conclusion that this group of customers will be confronted with a de facto absence of choice after the merger.
Ugotovitve v zvezi z opredelitvijo trga pomenijo, da Komisija ne more več vztrajati pri tem, da bodo ti kupci po združitvi utrpeli dejansko pomanjkanje izbire.
In order to assess whether or not the notified concentration would lead to non-coordinated effects, the Commission ran a number of regressions on each of four datasets: one data set from PeopleSoft, one Oracle data set compiled for the European Commission and two of the Oracle datasets from the US Court proceedings.
Komisija je večkrat ponovno pregledala vse štiri sklope podatkov, da bi lahko ocenila, ali bo priglašena koncentracija povzročila neusklajene učinke. Zadevni sklopi podatkov pa so sledeči: enega je predložila družba PeopleSoft, tri pa Oracle, pri čemer je enega pripravil za Evropsko komisijo, dva pa izhajata iz sodne preiskave v ZDA.
The purpose was to investigate to what extent the competitive situation of a particular bid (measured by the number of final round bidders) had an impact on the discounting offered by the seller in question (i.e. PeopleSoft in PeopleSoft’s dataset and Oracle in Oracle’s datasets).
Namen je bil raziskati, kako je konkurenčni položaj v okviru določene ponudbe (ugotovljeno na podlagi števila ponudb v zadnjem krogu izbora) vplival na znižanje cene zadevnega ponudnika (tj. za družbo PeopleSoft povzeto iz njenega sklopa podatkov in za družbo Oracle iz njenih treh sklopov podatkov).
The Commission generally found that there was a very strong relationship between the size of the deal and the discount offered.
Komisija je večinoma ugotovila, da sta obseg posla in ponujeno znižanje cene med seboj zelo tesno povezana.
Deals that tended to produce very high list prices were overall likely to also attract very large discounts.
Pri poslih, v katerih so bile cene izdelkov po ceniku zelo visoke, so bile tudi stopnje znižanja cen v večini primerov visoke.
The Commission also found that in a number of regressions in which this relationship between the deal size and the discount was not properly taken into account, there appeared to be an effect on the competitors on the discounting behaviour.
Komisija je pri nekaterih ponovnih pregledih sklopov podatkov, v katerih se povezava med obsegom posla in znižanjem cen ni pravilno upoštevala, našla tudi znake, da konkurenti spreminjajo način zniževanja cen.
The initial finding mentioned in the Statement of Objections was indeed based on such a regression.
Prvotna ugotovitev, navedena v ugovorih, se je dejansko opirala na takšen ponoven pregled sklopov podatkov.
Once the size of the deal was taken into account, the number of final bidders did no longer lead to such effects.
Ko pa se je obseg posla pri presoji upošteval, število ponudnikov v zadnjem krogu ni več kazalo, da bi šlo za kakršno koli spreminjanje načina zniževanja cen.
A finding, as in this case, that the number and identity of competitors in a given bid appear not to have an effect on a firm’s behaviour does not in itself prove that there will not be harmful effect of the merger on customers.
Ugotovitev, kot je ta, da ne kaže, da bi število in identiteta konkurentov pri določenem zbiranju ponudb vplivala na strategijo družbe, sama po sebi ne dokazuje, da združitev obeh družb ne bo negativno vplivala na kupce.
There may be a variety of reasons why such an effect is absent from the bidding data.
Obstaja več razlogov, zakaj tega ni mogoče izluščiti iz podatkov o ponudbah.
Based on the information available, it does not appear possible to reach a final conclusion about which of the different reasons is the most pertinent.
Vendar pa na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij najverjetnejšega razloga za to ni mogoče dokončno opredeliti.
It is not necessary, though, for the Commission to reach a conclusion on this issue since it is clear that the absence of an appreciable effect of competition on Oracle’s behaviour makes the bidding data unsuitable to rely on as determinative proof of an anticompetitive effect of the merger.
Komisiji razloga niti ni treba dokončno opredeliti, saj je jasno, da konkurenca ne vpliva na strategijo Oracla, in iz tega sledi, da podatki o ponudbah ne nudijo otipljivih dokazov o tem, da bi združitev delovala protikonkurenčno.
Coordinated effects
Usklajeni učinki
In the Statement of Objections the Commission had based its concerns further on the finding that, in addition to the non-coordinated effects, the two remaining players would be in a position to further soften competition by coordinating their competitive behaviour.
Komisija je svoje ugovore oprla tudi na ugotovitev, da bosta dva preostala akterja, poleg tega, da bosta povzročila neusklajene učinke, tudi v položaju, kjer bosta lahko z usklajevanjem svojega konkurenčnega obnašanja še bolj oslabila konkurenco.
The theory of coordination was based on a definition of the market which after the merger would consist of only Oracle and SAP and relied in particular on the symmetrical market shares of a combined Oracle/PeopleSoft and SAP and an alignment of incentives between them due to the fact that SAP is by far the largest reseller of Oracle databases.
Teorija o usklajevanju temelji na opredelitvi trga, ki bi po združitvi zajemal le družbi Oracle in SAP, opira pa se predvsem na enakovredna tržna deleža združenih družb Oracle/PeopleSoft in družbe SAP ter njihovo medsebojno usklajevanje spodbud, saj proda SAP kot posrednik daleč največ Oraclovih podatkovnih baz.
As parameters for adopting a common policy, the Commission identified the allocation of customers in a duopoly, a reduction in price competition and a common understanding to slow down the addition of further functionalities and the improvement of products.
Parametri, ki jih je Komisija določila za sprejetje skupne politike, so porazdelitev kupcev v duopolu, zmanjšanje cenovne konkurence in skupni dogovor o upočasnjenem uvajanju novih funkcij in izboljšav v izdelke.
In light of the conclusions regarding the market definition, it is not possible for the Commission to conclude that the merger would lead to a collective dominant position of a combined Oracle/PeopleSoft and SAP on the basis of coordinated effects.
Komisija ob upoštevanju teh ugotovitev glede opredelitve trga ne more zaključiti, da bi združitev ustvarila skupen prevladujoč položaj združenih družb Oracle/PeopleSoft in družbe SAP na podlagi usklajenih učinkov.
In a market in which — in addition to Oracle, PeopleSoft and SAP — Lawson, Intentia, IFS, QAD and Microsoft are also present as vendors of high-function FMS and HR applications, it appears difficult to argue that these players would reach a common understanding as regards the parameters outlined above.
Malo verjetno se zdi, da bi bile družbe Lawson, Intentia, IFS, QAD in Microsoft, ki so poleg družb Oracle, PeopleSoft in SAP prav tako prisotne na trgu kot ponudniki visokozmogljivih celovitih aplikacij FMS in HR, pripravljene sprejeti skupen dogovor o prej navedenih parametrih.
In particular, an allocation of customers will not be possible due to the larger group of possible vendors of such software.
Izvedljiva ne bo predvsem porazdelitev kupcev, saj obstaja večja skupina morebitnih ponudnikov zadevne programske opreme.
The larger number of vendors also reduces the transparency in the market and would make retaliatory actions more difficult.
Zaradi večjega števila ponudnikov se preglednost trga namreč zmanjša, oteži pa se tudi izvajanje represivnih ukrepov.
Furthermore, the players’ market shares are not symmetrical.
Nadalje tržni deleži akterjev niso enakovredni.
The vendors other than Oracle, PeopleSoft and SAP are significantly smaller in the relevant markets.
Ostali ponudniki so na upoštevnih trgih precej šibkejši kakor družbe Oracle, PeopleSoft in SAP.
They do not have similar structural links as SAP and Oracle in the area of databases.
Na področju podatkovnih baz nimajo podobnih strukturnih povezav, kakor jih imata SAP in Oracle.
Lawson’s resale of Oracle databases appears to be marginal compared to the sale of Oracle’s databases by SAP, while Microsoft in any case uses its own databases for its ERP products.
Lawsonova prodaja Oraclovih podatkovnih baz je v primerjavi s SAP-ovo komajda na meji donosnosti, medtem ko ima Microsoft tako ali tako svoje podatkovne baze za informacijske sisteme za načrtovanje virov v podjetju.
Also, the Commission cannot conclude that the merger will lead to a coordination of only a combined Oracle/PeopleSoft and SAP.
Komisija prav tako ne more zaključiti, da bi se kot posledica združitve v bodoče med seboj usklajevali le združeni družbi Oracle/PeopleSoft in družba SAP.
The other vendors mentioned in the section on market definition — Lawson, Intentia, IFS, QAD and Microsoft — appear to be suitable alternatives as the Commission’s data and the dataset submitted by Oracle after the oral hearing (ultimately on 27 September 2004) show that those vendors have won bids for software in the relevant markets.
Drugi ponudniki, navedeni v poglavju o opredelitvi trga (Lawson, Intentia, IFS, QAD in Microsoft), so primerni konkurenti, saj podatki Komisije in sklop podatkov, ki ga je predložil Oracle po ustnem zaslišanju (šele 27. septembra 2004), potrjujejo, da so bile tudi njihove ponudbe za programsko opremo na upoštevnih trgih uspešne.
A coordination of the competitive behaviour of a combined Oracle/PeopleSoft and SAP could therefore not be successfully sustained.
Torej v tem primeru usklajevanje konkurenčnega obnašanja med združenima družbama Oracle/PeopleSoft in družbo SAP ni dokazano.
As regards HR and FMS mid-market software markets, significantly more players are active than in the markets for high-function HR and FMS solutions.
Na trgih programske opreme HR in FMS srednjega cenovnega razreda je mnogo več akterjev kot na trgih visokozmogljivih celovitih rešitev HR in FMS.
Suppliers to mid-size companies include, Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP, Lawson, Intentia, IFS, QAD, Microsoft MBS, but also Sage, SSA Baan, Unit4 Agresso (both FMS and HR); Hyperion, Systems Union or ‘Sun Systems’ (FMS only); Kronos, Ultimate, Midland, Meta4 and Rebus (HR only).
Dobavitelji programske opreme za srednje velika podjetja so poleg družb Oracle, PeopleSoft, SAP, Lawson, Intentia, IFS, QAD, Microsoft MBS tudi družbe Sage, SSA Baan, Unit4 Agresso (tako FMS kot HR); Hyperion, Systems Union ali „Sun Systems“ (samo FMS); Kronos, Ultimate, Midland, Meta4 in Rebus (samo HR).
No specific market shares for the mid-market applications are available.
O tržnih deležih aplikacij srednjega cenovnega razreda ni na voljo nobenih podatkov.
Nevertheless, the overall revenues achieved for 2002 (on the basis of analyst reports) show that, on a worldwide basis, SAP would remain the strongest player in such an FMS market, followed by a combined Oracle/PeopleSoft.
Kljub temu skupni prihodki za leto 2002 (na podlagi analitičnega poročila) kažejo, da naj bi v svetovnem merilu SAP ostal vodilni ponudnik na trgu rešitev FMS, sledita pa mu združeni družbi Oracle/PeopleSoft.
Other significant players would include Sage, Microsoft MBS, Hyperion, Systems Union and Lawson.
Drugi pomembni akterji so še Sage, Microsoft MBS, Hyperion, Systems Union in Lawson.
For HR mid-market solutions, the combined Oracle and PeopleSoft would become the strongest player, closely followed by SAP.
Na trgih rešitev HR srednjega cenovnega razreda vodilno mesto prevzameta združeni družbi Oracle in PeopleSoft, takoj za njima pa je SAP.
Other significant players in HR would include Kronos, Lawson, Sage and Microsoft MBS.
Drugi pomembni akterji na področju HR so Kronos, Lawson, Sage in Microsoft MBS.
On a European level, the impact of the transaction may give even less reason for concerns on the basis of overall revenues reported by analysts for 2002 for Europe.
Na evropski ravni bo morda vpliv transakcije celo manj zaskrbljujoč zaradi skupnih prihodkov v Evropi v skladu z analitičnimi poročili za leto 2002.
SAP’s position would be stronger in Europe than on a worldwide basis in both FMS and HR whereas the position of a combined Oracle/PeopleSoft would be weaker.
Na trgih FMS in HR bi bila družba SAP v Evropi močnejša kakor v svetovnem merilu, medtem ko bi Oracle/PeopleSoft izgubila na moči.
Numerous other vendors represent a competitive constraint to the merging parties in a Europe-wide market as well, both as regards HR and FMS mid-market software.
Številni drugi ponudniki tudi na evropskem trgu predstavljajo omejitve konkurence obema družbama, ki sta predmet združitve, in sicer na področju programske opreme HR in FMS srednjega cenovnega razreda.
Given the limited strength of a combined Oracle/PeopleSoft in the markets for HR and FMS applications adapted to and typically purchased by mid-size companies and the numerous other players also active in these markets, it can be excluded that the transaction would lead to competition concerns in the markets for mid-market HR and FMS applications, irrespective of the exact delineation of such markets.
Glede na omejeno tržno moč združenih podjetij Oracle/PeopleSoft na trgih aplikacij HR in FMS, prikrojenih potrebam srednjih podjetij in številnih drugih akterjev na teh trgih, ki so tudi najpogostejši kupci, se izključuje možnost, da bi transakcija povzročila zaskrbljenost nad konkurenco na trgih aplikacij HR in FMS srednjega cenovnega razreda, neodvisno od njihove natančne opredelitve.
The Commission concludes that the proposed concentration would not create or strengthen a single or collective dominant position in the markets for HR and FMS high-function solutions and as regards the mid-market HR and FMS software.
Komisija zaključuje, da predlagana koncentracija ne bo ustvarila ali okrepila samostojnega ali skupnega prevladujočega položaja na trgih visokozmogljivih celovitih rešitev HR in FMS ter na področju programske opreme HR in FMS srednjega cenovnega razreda.
Consequently, the Commission declares the concentration compatible with the Common Market and the EEA Agreement, in accordance with Articles 2(2) and 8(2) of the Merger Regulation and Article 57 of the EEA Agreement.
Zato Komisija razglaša, da je koncentracija združljiva s skupnim trgom in Sporazumom EGP v skladu s členoma 2(2) in 8(2) Uredbe o združitvah ter členom 57 Sporazuma EGP.
Oracle’s EAS software only runs on Oracle’s database, while PeopleSoft and SAP’s software run on other databases besides Oracle’s.
Poslovne aplikacije družbe Oracle delujejo izključno na osnovi Oraclovih podatkovnih baz, medtem ko aplikacije družb PeopleSoft in SAP delujejo tako na osnovi Oraclovih kot tudi drugih podatkovnih baz.
The FMS suite typically includes software for accounting (accounts receivable, accounts payable, general ledger), planning and budgeting, reporting, time and expense management and the financial supply chain.

Programski paket za finančno vodenje (v nadaljnjem besedilu: „FMS“) običajno vključuje programsko opremo za vodenje poslovnih knjig (terjatve do kupcev, obveznosti do dobaviteljev, glavna knjiga), načrtovanje in planiranje prihodkov in izdatkov, poročanje, terminsko načrtovanje ter evidentiranje odhodkov in verige finančnih virov, paket za upravljanje s človeškimi viri (v nadaljnjem besedilu: „HR“) pa združuje programsko opremo za zajemanje podatkov o osebju ter pripravo in upravljanje plačilnih list in drugih ugodnosti.

Družba Oracle je javno ponudbo objavila 9. junija 2003, pri čemer je obdobje veljavnosti svoje ponudbe večkrat podaljšala.
The market investigation showed that thresholds of 10000 employees or of revenues exceeding EUR 1 billion might be an appropriate proxy for a rough qualification of large and complex undertakings. The Commission concludes that the complementary set of proxies can be used for a first qualification of the bids to assess whether the bids are for high-function software for large and complex enterprises.
Proučitev trga je pokazala, da se za grobo opredelitev velikih sestavljenih podjetij lahko uporablja prag 10000 zaposlenih ali prihodkov preko 1 milijarde EUR. Komisija zaključuje, da se dodatna merila lahko uporabijo za prvo razvrščanje ponudb glede na to, ali sploh zajemajo visokozmogljivo celovito programsko opremo za velika sestavljena podjetja.

accepting undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of grain oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel originating in the United States of America and Russia
o sprejetju zavez, ponujenih v zvezi s protidampinškim postopkom glede uvoza zrnato usmerjenih ploščato valjanih izdelkov iz silicijevega jekla za elektropločevine s poreklom iz Združenih držav Amerike in Rusije
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (the basic Regulation), and in particular Articles 8 and 9 thereof,
ob upoštevanju Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 384/96 z dne 22. decembra 1995 o zaščiti proti dampinškemu uvozu iz držav, ki niso članice Evropske skupnosti(„osnovna uredba“), in zlasti členov 8 in 9 Uredbe,
On 28 May 2004, the Commission announced by a notice (notice of initiation), published in the Official Journal of the European Union, the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of grain oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel originating in the United States of America (USA) and Russia, and the initiation of an interim review of the anti-dumping duty on imports of certain grain oriented electrical sheets with a width of more than 500 mm originating in Russia.
Komisija je 28. maja 2004 z obvestilom („obvestilo o začetku“), objavljenim v Uradnem listu Evropske unije, objavila začetek protidampinškega postopka v zvezi z uvozom zrnato usmerjenih ploščato valjanih izdelkov iz silicijevega jekla za elektropločevine s poreklom iz Združenih držav Amerike („ZDA“) in Rusije v Skupnost in začetek vmesnega pregleda protidampinške dajatve na uvoz nekaterih zrnato usmerjenih elektropločevin, širine več kot 500 mm, s poreklom iz Rusije.
Given the need to further examine certain aspects of the investigation and also because of the interrelation with the abovementioned interim review, it was decided to continue the investigation without the imposition of provisional measures.
Glede na potrebo po nadaljnji proučitvi določenih vidikov preiskave in zaradi medsebojnega razmerja z zgoraj omenjenim vmesnim pregledom je bilo odločeno, da se preiskava nadaljuje brez uvedbe začasnih ukrepov.
The Commission therefore subsequently continued the investigation of dumping, injury and Community interest, and the definitive findings and conclusions of this investigation are set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1371/2005 imposing definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of grain oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel originating in the United States of America and Russia (the definitive Regulation).
Komisija je zato nadaljevala preiskavo dampinga, škode in interesa Skupnosti; dokončne ugotovitve in sklepi te preiskave so določeni v Uredbi Sveta (ES) št. 1371/2005 o uvedbi dokončnih protidampinških dajatev na uvoz zrnato usmerjenih ploščato valjanih izdelkov iz silicijevega jekla za elektropločevine s poreklom iz Združenih držav Amerike in Rusije („končna uredba“).
The investigation confirmed the provisional findings of injurious dumping relating to imports of the product concerned originating in Russia and the USA.
Preiskava je potrdila začasne ugotovitve glede škodljivega dampinga v zvezi z uvozom zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz Rusije in ZDA.
Subsequent to the disclosure of the definitive findings, one cooperating exporting producer in Russia (Novolipetsk Iron & Steel Corporation) and one in the USA (AK Steel Corporation) offered a price undertaking in accordance with Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi razkritja dokončnih ugotovitev sta en sodelujoči proizvajalec izvoznik v Rusiji (Novolipetsk Iron & Steel Corporation) in en sodelujoči proizvajalec izvoznik v ZDA (AK Steel Corporation) ponudila, da bosta sprejela zavezo v skladu s členom 8(1) osnovne Uredbe.
In this undertaking, the exporting producers in question has offered to sell the product concerned at or above price levels that eliminate the injurious effect of dumping.
V tej zavezi sta zadevna proizvajalca izvoznika ponudila, da bosta zadevni izdelek prodajala po ali nad stopnjami, ki odpravljajo škodljivi učinek dampinga.
The companies will also provide the Commission with regular and detailed information concerning its exports to the Community, meaning that the undertaking can be monitored effectively by the Commission.
Družbi bosta Komisiji tudi redno posredovali podrobne podatke o svojem izvozu v Skupnost, kar pomeni, da lahko Komisija zavezo učinkovito nadzoruje.
Furthermore, the sales structure of the companies is such that the Commission considers that the risk of circumvention of the undertaking is limited.
Poleg tega imata ti dve družbi tako prodajno strukturo, da je po mnenju Komisije nevarnost izogibanja dogovorjeni zavezi majhna.
In view of this, it is considered that the undertaking is acceptable.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno se šteje ta zaveza za sprejemljivo.
