The Commission concludes further that the late payment of the aid linked to these costs cannot be viewed as postponing the restoration of viability to the future.
Komisija nadalje zaključi, da se pozno izplačilo pomoči ne sme obravnavati kot odlog ponovne vzpostavitve sposobnosti preživetja na prihodnost.
Concerning the financing by the State of the management of PWR fuel loaded into Sizewell B, the Commission recalls that BE will contribute to the NLF in the amount of GBP 150/kgU for PWR fuel loaded into the Sizewell B reactor after the Restructuring Effective Date.
V zvezi z državnim financiranjem ravnanja z gorivom za tlačnovodne reaktorje, vstavljenim v reaktor Sizewell B Komisija opozarja, da bo družba BE prispevala v sklad za jedrske obveznosti 150 GBP/kgU za gorivo za tlačnovodne reaktorje, vstavljeno v Sizewell B po datumu uveljavitve prestrukturiranja.
This value is certainly lower than the total costs of PWR spent fuel management, including final disposal.
Ta vrednost je gotovo nižja od skupnih stroškov za ravnanje z izrabljenim gorivom za tlačnovodne reaktorje, vključno s končno odstranitvijo.
Indeed, this total cost was estimated by BE itself in its 2001/2002 accounts at GBP 240/kgU.
Res je družba BE sama ocenila ta skupni strošek v poročilih za leto 2001/2002 na 240 GBP/kgU.
The fact that only a part of these costs are covered by the BE payments to the NLF confirms that the NLF contribution to the management of this fuel contains State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Dejstvo, da plačila družbe BE pokrivajo le del teh stroškov v sklad za jedrske obveznosti, potrjuje, da prispevek sklada za jedrske obveznosti k ravnanju s tem gorivom pokriva državno pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
In order to decide whether this aid is open-ended, the Commission must determine the split of the total costs between avoidable costs and unavoidable costs.
Da bi se odločila, ali je ta pomoč neomejena, mora Komisija skupne stroške razmejiti na izogibne in neizogibne stroške.
Unavoidable costs are sunk.
Neizogibni stroški so se znižali.
For companies facing difficulties, it aims precisely at helping them to return to viability more quickly.
Namen pomoči je ravno v tem, da pomaga družbam v težavah hitreje vzpostaviti sposobnost preživetja.
But since the company would operate in any case as soon as it cover its avoidable costs, aid to cover unavoidable costs does not result in artificially prolonging the life of the company.
Ampak ker bi družba delovala v vsakem primeru, kakor hitro bi pokrila izogibne stroške, pomoč za kritje neizogibnih stroškov ne vpliva na umetno podaljšanje preživetja družbe.
Such aid is therefore not open ended.
Takšna pomoč zato ni neomejena.
In contrast, aid aimed at covering avoidable costs, in particular variable costs, aims at artificially maintaining in operation a company that would otherwise have no economical reason to prolong its activities.
V nasprotju s tem je pomoč, ki pokriva izogibne stroške, še zlasti spremenljive stroške, namenjena umetnemu ohranjanju delovanja družbe, ki drugače ne bi imela nobenega gospodarskega razloga za podaljševanje svojih dejavnosti.
Such aid is open-ended in that it ensures the company’s viability only if it is not limited in time.
Takšna pomoč je neomejena, s tem da zagotavlja preživetje družbe samo, če ni časovno omejena.
The UK authorities have indicated that, out of the GBP 240/kgU costs referred to in recital (318), about GBP […]/kgU were avoidable.
Organi Združenega kraljestva so navedli, da je od stroškov 240 GBP/kgU, navedenih v uvodni izjavi (317), približno […] GBP/kgU izogibnih.
The remaining costs are mostly related to the unavoidable costs linked to the construction of the final repository for both historic and future PWR spent fuel, which will be done on the Sizewell B site. This repository is scheduled to be available late in this century, which, in view of the discounting effects, explains the relatively small value of these costs as compared to costs in other countries.
Ostali stroški so v glavnem povezani z neizogibnimi stroški v zvezi z gradnjo končnega odlagališča za preteklo in prihodnje izrabljeno gorivo za tlačnovodne reaktorje, ki bo zgrajeno na lokaciji reaktorja Sizewell B. Načrtuje se, da bo odlagališče na razpolago pozno v tem stoletju, kar pojasnjuje, glede na stroške, sorazmerno majhno vrednost teh stroškov v drugih državah.
The figures provided by the Gordon MacKerron report referred to in footnote 38 cannot be used for the purpose of cross checking this estimate since the report does not indicate the extent to which they include unavoidable costs.
Številke iz poročila Gordona MacKerrona, navedene v opombi 38, se ne morejo uporabljati za navzkrižno preverjanje te ocene, ker poročilo ne navaja obsega, do katerega vključujejo neizogibne stroške.
In order to cross-check the UK authorities’ evaluation, the Commission has used information available to the public concerning the Finnish nuclear programme, which is one of the most transparent nuclear programmes in the world.
Da se navzkrižno preverijo ocene organov Združenega kraljestva, je Komisija uporabila podatke, dosegljive javnosti, v zvezi s finskim jedrskim programom, ki je eden od najbolj preglednih jedrskih programov na svetu.
Like Sizewell’s waste, the waste produced by Finnish nuclear reactors will not be reprocessed before it is ultimately disposed of.
Kot odpadki reaktorja Sizewella tudi odpadki finskih jedrskih reaktorjev ne bodo ponovno predelani, dokler ne bodo končno odstranjeni.
The costs of the management of Finnish spent fuel is estimated by the Finnish company in charge of the disposal at EUR 325/kgU (GBP 217/kgU [48]), of which EUR 217/kgU (GBP 145/kgU) are related to avoidable costs [49].
Stroški ravnanja s finskim izrabljenim gorivom, kot jih je ocenila finska družba, zadolžena za odstranitev, so 325 EUR/kgU (217 GBP/kgU [48]), od česar je 217 EUR/kgU (145 GBP/kgU) povezanih z izogibnimi stroški [49].
The Commission notes that these figures are similar to the ones provided by the UK authorities.
Komisija ugotavlja, da so te številke podobne tistim, ki so jih predložili organi Združenega kraljestva.
The Commission considers that they confirm the indication that a GBP 150/kgU payment is sufficient to cover avoidable costs of spent fuel management, plus a part of the unavoidable costs thereof.
Komisija meni, da potrjujejo oceno, da plačilo 150 GBP/kgU zadostuje za pokritje izogibnih stroškov za ravnanje z izrabljenim gorivom, plus dela neizogibnih stroškov za ravnanje z izrabljenim gorivom.
In view of the above, the Commission concludes that the restructuring plan does not provide for an on-going subsidy to BE and that its duration is compatible with the guidelines in view of the specificities of the nuclear industry and the obligations of the UK under the Euratom Treaty [50].
Na tej podlagi Komisija zaključi, da načrt za prestrukturiranje družbi BE ne zagotavlja stalne subvencije ter da je njeno trajanje v skladu s Smernicami glede na posebnosti jedrske industrije in obveznosti Združenega kraljestva na podlagi Pogodbe EURATOM [50].
Content of the restructuring plan
Vsebina načrta za prestrukturiranje
The Commission notes that the UK Government has submitted a detailed plan containing a market survey and scenarios reflecting best-case, worst-case and intermediate assumptions, as required by point 33 of the guidelines.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je vlada Združenega kraljestva v skladu s točko (33) Smernic predložila podroben načrt s tržno raziskavo in scenariji, ki izražajo najboljše, najslabše in vmesne predpostavke.
They have in addition provided a detailed cash-flow analysis updated in July 2004.
Razen tega je predložila tudi podrobno analizo denarnih tokov, posodobljeno julija 2004.
The plan describes in detail the origin of BE’s difficulties and the measures which have been or will be introduced to address these as already summarised in paragraph II(2)(c) of this Decision.
Načrt podrobno opisuje izvor težav družbe BE in ukrepe, ki so bili ali bodo uvedeni za spoprijemanje z njimi, kot je že povzeto v odstavku II(2)(c) te odločbe.
The restructuring plan foresees the implementation of a new trading strategy (Measure E) seeking to address the unhedged position of BE.
Načrt za prestrukturiranje predvideva uveljavitev nove strategije trgovanja (ukrep E), ki si prizadeva za spoprijemanje z nepokritim tveganjem družbe BE.
In securing more medium term fixed price sales of its output, BE aims at reducing the volatility of cash flows and reinforce its long-term viability.
Pri zagotovitvi prodaje po bolj srednjeročnih fiksnih cenah je cilj družbe BE zmanjšanje nestanovitnosti denarnih tokov in okrepitev dolgoročne sposobnosti preživetja.
It will also reduce its exposure to wholesale electricity prices in the United Kingdom whilst continuing to maintain a reliable route to market through a mixture of contract terms, access to flexible generation through Eggborough and the Direct Sales to Business focusing on I & C consumers.
Zmanjšal bo tudi svojo izpostavljenost veleprodajnim cenam električne energije v Združenem kraljestvu, medtem ko bo obdržal zanesljivo pot do trga s kombinacijo pogodbenih pogojev, dostopa do prilagodljive proizvodnje energije prek elektrarne Eggborough in neposredne prodaje podjetjem, s poudarkom na industrijskih in trgovinskih potrošnikih.
Measures A and B aim at addressing the issue of the high proportion of non-avoidable costs faced by BE as a nuclear operator in partly relieving BE from its historic nuclear liabilities including historic spent fuel liabilities and decommissioning costs and in reducing its costs for future front end and back end fuel contracts with BNFL.
Cilj ukrepov A in B je spoprijemanje z velikim deležem neizogibnih stroškov, s katerimi se kot proizvajalec jedrske energije sooča družba BE, z delno razrešitvijo preteklih jedrskih obveznosti družbe, vključno s preteklimi obveznostmi za izrabljeno gorivo in stroški razgradnje, ter z zmanjšanjem njenih stroškov za prihodnje pogodbe z družbo BNFL o oskrbi jedrskega goriva od prediradiacijskega do postiradiacijskega dela cikla.
In addition, the plan foresees the renegotiation of three out-of-money purchase agreements and the sale of BE’s North American assets which should contribute to solving BE’s problem linked to high shorter term non-avoidable costs in the form of financing expenses.
Razen tega predvideva načrt ponovno pogajanje o treh nerentabilnih kupnih pogodbah in prodajo severnoameriškega premoženja družbe BE, ki bi morala prispevati k rešitvi težav družbe, povezanih z visokimi kratkoročnejšimi neizogibnimi stroški v obliki stroškov financiranja.
As regards the third cause of BE’s difficulties, the significant unplanned outages, BE has defined a plan, the PIP, designed to improve the reliability of BE’s nuclear plants.
V zvezi s tretjim vzrokom težav družbe BE, večjimi nenačrtovanimi izpadi, je družba BE določila načrt, prednostni informacijski program za izboljšanje zanesljivosti jedrskih elektrarn družbe BE.
In particular, the PIP foresees an increased investment in capital and staff to improve the quality of maintenance and the availability of its plants.
Prednostni informacijski program predvideva še zlasti povečano naložbo v kapital in osebje za izboljšanje kakovosti vzdrževanja in razpoložljivosti elektrarn.
Furthermore one of the vulnerabilities considered is the scenario where the availability of BE’s plants’ does not improve.
Ob tem je ena od upoštevanih ranljivih točk scenarij, po katerem ne pride do izboljšanja razpoložljivosti elektrarn družbe BE.
Under that scenario, BE would still be cash generative.
Po tem scenariju bi družba BE še vedno ustvarjala dohodek v denarju.
The financial projections submitted by the UK Government indicate that viability would be restored within a reasonable time-scale since BE would be cash generative from 2004 and would have positive annual operating cash flow from 2005.
Finančne projekcije, ki jih je predložila vlada Združenega kraljestva, navajajo, da bi se v razumnem časovnem okviru ponovno vzpostavila sposobnost preživetja, ker bi družba BE od leta 2004 ustvarjala dohodek v denarju in bi imela od leta 2005 pozitivne letne poslovne denarne tokove.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concludes that the restructuring plan addresses the problems at the origin of BE’s difficulties and is based on realistic assumptions as required by the guidelines, in particular in view of the evolution of electricity prices and the implementation of the PIP.
Na tej podlagi Komisija ugotavlja, da se načrt za prestrukturiranje težav družbe BE spoprijema s težavami pri njihovem izvoru in temelji na realističnih predpostavkah, ki jih zahtevajo Smernice, zlasti glede na spreminjanje cen in izvajanje prednostnega informacijskega programa.
In its decision to initiate proceedings, the Commission doubted whether the restoration of viability could be considered as deriving mainly from internal measures.
V odločitvi za začetek postopka je Komisija podvomila o ponovni pridobitvi sposobnosti preživetja predvsem na podlagi notranjih ukrepov.
In particular, the Commission wondered whether the economies realised by BE following those measures were only due to concessions by creditors and suppliers and not any rationalisation of BE’s activities.
Komisija se je spraševala še zlasti o tem, ali so varčevalni ukrepi družbe BE v skladu z navedenimi ukrepi temeljili le na olajšavah pri upnikih in ugodnostih pri dobaviteljih, in ne kateri koli racionalizaciji dejavnosti družbe.
Following the opening of proceedings, Drax commented on this point.
Po začetku postopka je družba Drax predložila pripombe na to točko.
It is of the opinion that BE’s restructuring is not a real restructuring since it does not derive from internal measures and gives BE the guarantee that it will never be allowed to fail.
Meni, da prestrukturiranje družbe BE ni pravo prestrukturiranje, ker ne temelji na notranjih ukrepih in družbi zagotavlja, da ne bo nikoli propadla.
Besides it adds that there is some uncertainty about BE’s contribution to the restructuring and that closing some nuclear plants would have been a better option.
Razen tega dodaja, da obstaja nekakšna negotovost v zvezi s prispevkom družbe BE k prestrukturiranju in da bi bilo zaprtje nekaterih jedrskih elektrarn boljša možnost.
This last comment is shared by Greenpeace.
Zadnji opombi se pridružuje tudi organizacija Greenpeace.
The United Kingdom contests this view and replied that the package is subject to the approval by the Government of BE’s prospects for viability.
Združeno kraljestvo to stališče izpodbija in odgovarja, da mora v zvezi s paketom pomoči pričakovanja družbe BE za sposobnost preživetja potrditi vlada.
The UK Government also made the point that the guidelines require a balance to be struck between State contributions, private contributions and the company’s own contribution but do not mean that the company must be able to turn itself around without intervention from the State.
Vlada Združenega kraljestva je tudi poudarila, da zahtevajo Smernice vzpostavitev ravnovesja med prispevki države, zasebnimi prispevki in prispevki družbe same, vendar pri tem od družbe ne zahteva izboljšanja brez posredovanja države.
The Commission accepts that the restructuring must not only be based on internal measures but can also include measures from the State and private parties such as creditors and suppliers.
Komisija soglaša, da notranji pogoji ne smejo biti edina podlaga za prestrukturiranje, ampak lahko to vključuje tudi državne ukrepe in ukrepe zasebnih strank, kot so upniki in dobavitelji.
The Commission notes that BE has already implemented the following measures: it disposed of its North American assets (Measure F) and […].
Komisija ugotavlja, da je družba BE že začela izvajati naslednje ukrepe: prodala je svoje severnoameriško premoženje (ukrep F) in […].
From a commercial point of view, the Commission takes note of the fact that in line with its new trading strategy (Measure G), BE has increased the number of medium term fixed contracts to reduce its unhedged position.
S poslovnega vidika Komisija upošteva dejstvo, da je družba BE v skladu s svojo novo strategijo trgovanja (ukrep G) povečala število srednjeročnih fiksnih pogodb za zmanjšanje nepokritega tveganja družbe.
Furthermore, BE is not released of its nuclear liabilities but will contribute to the funding of the NLF.
Ob tem družba BE ni bila oproščena jedrskih obveznosti, ampak bo prispevala k financiranju sklada za jedrske obveznosti.
As explained in section VI(3)(c)(v) below, the Commission also takes into account the fact that the closure of one or several BE nuclear plants is not a feasible option and that disposing of Eggborough would threaten BE’s prospects of returning to viability and would be disproportionate.
Kot je pojasnjeno v oddelku VI(3)(c)(v) spodaj, Komisija upošteva tudi dejstvo, da zaprtje ene ali več jedrskih elektrarn družbe BE ni izvedljiva možnost ter da bi prodaja elektrarne Eggborough ogrozila možnost ponovne pridobitve sposobnosti preživetja in bi bila nesorazmerna.
Considering the measures already undertaken and to be undertaken by BE and taking into account the fact that the issues at the origin of BE’s difficulties are addressed by the restructuring plan, the Commission concludes that the requirement of point 32 of the guidelines is fulfilled.
Ob upoštevanju že sprejetih in prihodnjih ukrepov družbe BE ter ob upoštevanju dejstva, da se vprašanj o izvoru težav družbe loteva načrt za prestrukturiranje, Komisija ugotavlja, da je zahteva iz točke (32) Smernic izpolnjena.
The specific case of Dungeness B
Poseben primer elektrarne Dungeness B
Some third parties have questioned in particular the prospects of return to viability of Dungeness B, which is the oldest of BE’s nuclear plants.
Nekatere tretje osebe dvomijo še zlasti v možnost ponovne pridobitve sposobnosti preživetja elektrarne Dungeness B, ki je najstarejša jedrska elektrarna družbe BE.
Powergen, the third party which best substantiated its reasoning, based its analysis of Dungeness B’s situation on a review of the power plant’s cost structure as originally submitted by the UK authorities, and set out in the decision to inititate proceedings.
Analiza položaja elektrarne Dungeness B, ki jo je izvedla družba Powergen, tretja stranka, ki je najbolje utemeljila razloge, temelji na pregledu stroškovne strukture elektrarne, kot so jo prvotno predložili organi Združenega kraljestva in je bila določena v odločitvi za začetek postopka.
According to Powergen, Dungeness B is a very inefficient power plant.
Družba Powergen meni, da je elektrarna Dungeness B zelo neučinkovita.
Historic figures show that its load factor is small.
Pretekle številke kažejo, da je njen obremenitveni faktor majhen.
Powergen estimates it at 46 %.
Po ocenah družbe Powergen je ta 46 %.
With such a load factor, the power plant would produce about 4,5 TWh per year.
Pri takšnem obremenitvenem faktorju bi elektrarna proizvedla približno 4,5 TWh na leto.
According to Powergen producing this amount of electricity would cost about GBP 73,8 million, taking into account avoidable costs only.
Družba Powergen meni, da bi proizvodnja takšne količine električne energije stala približno 73,8 milijona GBP, ob upoštevanju le izogibnih stroškov.
Powergen concludes that Dungeness B’s avoidable costs are about GBP 16,4/MWh where the electricity baseload price on the wholesale market is GBP 16/MWh [51].
Družba Powergen ugotavlja, da so izogibni stroški elektrarne Dungeness B približno 16,4 GBP/MWh, kjer je cena električne energije za osnovno obremenitev na trgu na debelo 16 GBP/MWh [51].
Firstly, Powergen’s hypothesis on the plant’s total costs was too low.
Prvič, hipoteza družbe Powergen o skupnih stroških elektrarne je bila prenizka.
BE’s data suggests that actual Dungeness B costs are higher than was estimated by Powergen, in particular for operation and maintenance costs.
Po podatkih družbe BE so dejanski stroški elektrarne Dungeness B, še zlasti stroški vzdrževanja in obratovanja, višji kot po oceni družbe Powergen.
This tends to increase Dungeness B’s costs per MWh.
To povečuje stroške elektrarne Dungeness B na MWh.
In contrast, the UK authorities consider that Dungeness B’s efficiency record has much improved in recent years.
V nasprotju s tem organi Združenega kraljestva upoštevajo, da se je učinkovitost elektrarne Dungeness B v zadnjih letih precej izboljšala.
They claim that, since historical data show it is improving, one should not take for the future the hypothesis that it will perform like it did in its worst years, but rather that it will perform like it did in the most recent years.
Trdijo, da zaradi preteklih podatkov, ki kažejo izboljšanje, hipoteza za prihodnost ne sme biti, da bo poslovala kot v najslabših letih, ampak kot v zadnjih letih.
This would raise the power plant’s load factor to 61 %.
To bi povečalo obremenitveni faktor elektrarne na 61 %.
This tends to decrease Dungeness B’s costs per MWh.
To zmanjšuje stroške elektrarne Dungeness B na MWh.
Taking into account both considerations in recitals (339) and (340), the UK authorities calculate Dungeness B’s avoidable costs as approximately GBP […]/MWh where the electricity baseload price on the wholesale market is GBP […]/MWh.
Ob upoštevanju obeh premislekov iz uvodnih izjav (338) in (339) so po izračunu organov Združenega kraljestva izogibni stroški elektrarne Dungeness B približno […] GBP/MWh, kjer je cena električne energije za osnovno obremenitev na trgu na debelo […] GBP/MWh.
The Commission has examined Dungeness B’s avoidable costs, taking into account different hypotheses, depending on which estimates are correct for total costs and load factor.
Komisija je preverila izogibne stroške elektrarne Dungeness B, ob upoštevanju različne hipoteze glede na pravilnost ocen za skupne stroške in obremenitveni faktor.
It has arrived at the following matrix:
Prišla je do naslednje matrike:
Dungeness B’s avoidable costs per MWh where the electricity baseload price on the wholesale market is GBP 16/MWh.
Izogibni stroški elektrarne Dungeness B na MWh, kjer je cena električne energije za osnovno obremenitev na trgu na debelo 16 GBP/MWh
UK authorities’ hypothesis for output
Donos, predviden s strani organov Združenega kraljestva
Powergen’s hypothesis for output
Donos, predviden s strani družbe Powergen
UK authorities’ hypothesis for costs
Stroški, predvideni s strani organov Združenega kraljestva
Powergen’s hypothesis for costs.
Stroški, predvideni s strani družbe Powergen
Taking into account the sharing of the benefit of electricity price increases where the electricity baseload price on the wholesale market differs from GBP 16/MWh between BE and BNFL, the Commission has computed the electricity strike price above which Dungeness B covers its avoidable costs in the different hypotheses:
Ob upoštevanju delitve dobička zaradi zvišanj cene električne energije, kjer se cena električne energije za osnovno obremenitev na trgu na debelo razlikuje od 16 GBP/MWh med družbama BE in BNFL, je Komisija izračunala izvršilno ceno električne energije, nad katero elektrarna Dungeness B pokriva neizogibne stroške po različnih hipotezah:
Electricity baseload price on the wholesale market above which Dungeness B covers its avoidable costs
Cena električne energije za osnovno obremenitev na trgu na debelo, nad katero elektrarna Dungeness B pokriva izogibne stroške
In view of Table 9, it appears that in all but the worst scenarios, Dungeness B is able to recover its avoidable costs, and is therefore not loss making, as soon as the electricity baseload price on the wholesale market is above about GBP […]/MWh.
Glede na Tabelo 9 se zdi, da je elektrarna Dungeness B po vseh, razen najslabših scenarijih sposobna povrniti izogibne stroške, in zato ne posluje z izgubo, takoj ko cena električne energije za osnovno obremenitev na trgu na debelo preseže […] GBP/MWh.
