Investing in PM4, refurbishing PM3 and closing down PM2 had the additional advantages that it was cheaper than building new greenfield mill both for newsprint and magazine paper and it allowed SEL to introduce new capacity while phasing out old capacity, which is necessary in order not to suffer from introducing capacity without corresponding demand.
Naložba v napravo PM4, posodobljenje naprave PM3 ter zaključitev obratovanja stroja PM2 so vrh tega predstavljali to prednost, da so stali manj, kot bi stala izdelava novega papirnega stroja na novem območju, tako za časopisni kot za revialni papir, in da so omogočili družbi SEL, da je pridobila nove zmogljivosti, pri čemer je postopno ukinjala stare kar je nujna stopnja, da ne bi trpela zaradi uvedbe novih zmogljivosti, ne da bi obstajalo ustrezno povpraševanje.
Demand for high quality papers is increasing and the customers and authorities require an increasing content of recycled fibre in paper.
Povpraševanje po visoko kakovostnem papirju narašča in tako stranke kot oblasti zahtevajo vedno večjo vsebnost recikliranih vlaknin.
The building of a new sludge combustion capacity and the investments in water and effluence treatment could potentially be approved under the environmental aid guidelines, although the latter is directly linked to the production capacity and are not strictly necessary in order to meet environmental objectives and should therefore not be eligible for any aid.
Izdelavo novih zmogljivosti sežiganja odpadkov in naložbo v čistilno napravo za vodo in odpadno vodo bi po možnosti lahko odobrili v skladu s smernicami pomoči za okolje. Vendar ker je ta naložba neposredno vezana na proizvodno zmogljivost in ni povsem nujna za izpolnitev okoljskih ciljev, torej ne bi smela biti upravičena do nikakršne pomoči.
The building of rail infrastructure seems excessive in the sense that transportation by lorry would be an obvious alternative which would not require any additional investments.
Izgradnja železniške infrastrukture se zdi nepotrebna, saj bi prevoz s tovornjakom predstavljal očitno možno zamenjavo, ki ne bi zahtevala nikakršne dodatne naložbe.
The environmental effects would be minimal.
Učinki na okolje bi bili neznatni.
COMMENTS FROM BELGIUM AND SEL
STALIŠČI BELGIJE IN DRUŽBE SEL
General remarks
Splošna stališča
Belgium and SEL hold that the aid would not affect negatively trade between Member States and there would not be an advantage to SEL capable of distorting competition.
Belgija in družba SEL ocenjujeta, da pomoč ne bi negativno vplivala na trgovino med državami članicami in ne bi podelila družbi SEL prednosti, ki bi izkrivljala konkurenco.
For all parts of the project, sufficient cost would be eligible to justify the aid.
Za vse elemente projekta obstaja zadosten obseg upravičenih stroškov, ki upravičujejo pomoč.
Detailed information and justifications on the eligible costs was provided.
Poslani so bili podatki in podrobna upravičenja glede dodatnih stroškov.
In as far as this is already presented in sections 2 and 6, it is not repeated in this section.
Ker so predstavljeni že v razdelkih 2 in 6, jih ne bomo povzeli v tem razdelku.
and DIP2, production capacity for 100 % RCF newsprint
Stroja PM4 in DIP2: Izdelava časopisnega papirja iz 100 % recikliranih vlaknin
Recycling percentages are indeed norms imposed on Member States, but in the factual situation in Belgium, there is a direct link between these norms and SEL’s activities.
Odstotki vsebnosti recikliranih snovi so dejansko standardi, ki so državam članicam predpisani, toda v razmerah, kot se pojavljajo v Belgiji, obstaja neposredna povezava med standardi in dejavnostmi družbe SEL.
100 % RCF newsprint is not at all ‘state of the art’.
Časopisni papir iz 100 % recikliranih vlaknin nikakor ne ustreza sedanjemu stanju tehnologije.
Only 5 to 6 newsprint installations in the same order of magnitude exist in western Europe.
V sedanjem času obstaja v Zahodni Evropi le pet ali šest naprav za izdelavo časopisnega papirja istega reda velikosti.
The large majority of installations results in RCF percentages between 40 % and 80 %.
Velika večina proizvodnih naprav izdeluje papir z odstotkom vsebnosti recikliranih vlaknin, ki se nahaja med 40 in 80 %.
The installations are not serial products and each of them was innovative.
Te naprave niso serijski proizvodi in vsaka od njih je bila inovacija.
Reaching optimal productivity takes normally about two years, which is much longer than usual for ‘state of the art’ installations.
Za doseg optimalne produktivnosti sta praviloma potrebni dve leti, torej veliko dlje, kot je potrebno za napravo, ki ustreza sodobnemu stanju tehnologije.
and DIP2 belong to the absolute world top.
Napravi PM4 in DIP2 pripadata tistemu, kar je najboljše na svetu.
PM3, 80 % RCF magazine paper
Naprava PM3: revialni papir iz 80 % recikliranih vlaknin
In addition to the arguments already raised in the opening decision, Belgium and SEL stresses the innovative and unique elements of PM3 and point to the important run-up cost and the learning curve.
Poleg že navedenih razlogov v odločbi o odprtju postopka Belgija in družba SEL poudarjata inovativne in edinstvene elemente naprave PM3 kot tudi velikost stroškov za njegov zagon in krivuljo učenja.
This further proves that the investment cannot be considered as ‘state-of-the-art’.
To prav tako dokazuje, da se naložbe ne more razumeti kot ustrezajočo sedanjemu stanju tehnologije.
It is acknowledged that the market evolves towards higher RCF percentages and lower energy consumption for magazine paper, but SEL’s investment would not be ‘state of the art’.
Priznano je, da se trg revialnega papirja razvija proti večji vsebnosti recikliranih vlaknin in manjši energetski porabi, toda naložba družbe SEL ne more biti razumljena kot ustrezajoča sedanjemu stanju tehnologije.
The rebuild of PM3 has been done before it was technically or economically necessary.
Predelava naprave PM3 se je začela, preden bi bila tehnično ali gospodarsko potrebna.
must be considered as a prototype for the Stora Enso group.
Ta naprava mora biti razumljena kot prototip za Stora Enso.
The investment fits completely in the group’s long term strategy that is to improve continuously the processes, the use of resources and the personnel’s capabilities with a view to sustainable paper production.
Naložba popolnoma ustreza dolgoročni strategiji skupine, ki jo predstavljajo neprestane izboljšave postopkov, uporaba virov in sposobnosti osebja, z namenom, da bi dosegli izdelavo trajnega papirja.
Belgium nor SEL have commented on the investments by LEIPA, where also magazine paper is produced from predominantly RCF [7].
Niti Belgija niti družba SEL nista sporočili stališč glede naložb družbe LEIPA, kjer je revialni papir prav tako izdelan predvsem na podlagi recikliranih vlaknin [7].
Sludge combined heat and power installation
Naprava za sežiganje odpadkov SPTE
Taking total cost of the sludge CHP installation, including depreciation, there would be no net benefits over the first five years of the life of the installation.
Če bi upoštevali vse stroške za napravo za sežiganje odpadkov SPTE, vključno z amortizacijo, v prvih petih letih življenjske dobe naprave ne bi bilo nobenega čistega dobička.
Had SEL not invested in the sludge CHP installation, it could have sourced its steam and electricity from a nearby energy producer.
Če družba SEL ne bi investirala v to napravo, bi lahko kupila paro in elektriko, ki ju potrebuje, pri sosednjem proizvajalcu.
In that case, SEL would have had to invest in an additional steam boiler with a cost of EUR 1189000. Hence, the full investment cost minus EUR 1189000 would be eligible for aid.
V tem primeru bi morala družba SEL investirati v dodaten parni kotel, ki stane 1189000 EUR. Zato bi morali stroški, upravičeni do pomoči, ustrezati celotnim investicijskim stroškom minus 1189000 EUR.
In any event, as an alternative investment producing the same quantities of steam and electricity, a conventional CHP installation would be more appropriate than separate steam and electricity production units.
Vsekakor bi za proizvodnjo enake količine pare in elektrike običajna naprava PSTE pomenila primernejšo rešitev pri zamenjavi, kakor ločeni napravi za proizvodnjo pare in elektrike.
Fresh water treatment
Čiščenje sladke vode
If SEL had had a permit for limited groundwater extraction, the continuation of such extraction would be realistic.
Če bi družba SEL razpolagala s pooblastilom za črpanje omejenih količin podtalne vode, bi bilo realistično, da nadaljuje s takim početjem.
The total cost per m3 would be largely similar in both cases, but no investments would be required.
Celoten strošek na m3 bi bil praktično podoben v obeh primerih, toda potrebna ne bi bila nikakršna naložba.
However, in practice it would not be realistic to extract such quantities of groundwater.
Vendarle v praksi ne bi bilo realistično črpati take količine podtalne vode.
Effluent treatment
Čiščenje odpadne vode
Belgium explained that there was no need to increase the capacity of the existing water treatment facilities in view of the optimisation of the effluent treatment and the production process.
Belgija je pojasnila, da ob upoštevanju izboljšave čiščenja odpadne vode in proizvodnega postopka ni potrebno povečati zmogljivosti obstoječih čistilnih naprav za vodo.
The investment consists basically of a buffer tank that is to ensure a stable functioning of the treatment and the necessary technical equipment to make a connection to the existing treatment installations.
Naložba se nanaša predvsem na zaprti rezervoar, ki naj bi zagotavljal stalno delovanje čiščenja, ter na potrebno tehnično opremo za priključitev na obstoječe čistilne naprave.
The effluent treatment installation has some innovative features.
Naprava za čiščenje odpadne vode ima nekaj inovativnih značilnosti.
The treatment goes beyond the VLAREM norms, but also beyond the norms in the permit (for almost all substances).
Čiščenje presega to, kar zahtevajo standardi VLAREM, in tudi kar zahtevajo standardi, ki jih predvideva dovoljenje (za skoraj vse snovi).
The latter are strict and in the negotiations with the authorities, they have been adjusted to the best possible results of the treatment facilities.
Slednji so strogi in so bili na pogajanjih z oblastmi prilagojeni z ozirom na najboljše možne rezultate čistilnih naprav.
They would go beyond the levels based on the ‘best available technique’.
Presegli bi ravni, ki temeljijo na „najboljši razpoložljivi tehniki“.
An expert report holds that the imposed COD limit of 260 mg/l must be considered as extremely ambitious.
Strokovno poročilo ocenjuje, da je predpisano mejo 260 mg/l za kemično potrebo po kisiku (KPK) potrebno razumeti kot izjemno ambiciozno.
The environmental permit imposes a further reduction to 180 mg/l, which has no precedent in the paper industry.
Okoljsko dovoljenje predpisuje dodatno znižanje na 180 mg/l, kar je edinstven primer na področju papirja.
Except for COD, all concentrations of substances are lower in the effluent than they are in the water taken from the Kalebeek.
Z izjemo KPK so vse koncentracije snovi v odpadni vodi nižje kot v vodah, ki prihajajo iz potoka Kale.
Tertiary water treatment
Terciarno čiščenje vode
Belgium holds that aid for eventual tertiary water treatment would be compatible for the same reasons as for effluent treatment.
Belgija ocenjuje, da bi bila pomoč, za morebitno terciarno čiščenje vode, združljiva iz istih razlogov, kot tisti, ki so uporabni za čiščenje odpadne vode.
In the light of the expert report and awaiting the decision of the Flemish authorities on the request for a derogation from the 180 mg/l COD norm, SEL has not yet decided on this investment.
Ob upoštevanju strokovnega poročila, s katerim razpolaga, in v pričakovanju odločbe flamskih oblasti glede prošnje za izjemo v zvezi s standardom 180 mg/l za KPK, se družba SEL še ni odločila glede te naložbe.
No subsidy has yet been requested either.
Prav tako še ni zaprosila za subvencijo.
Belgium and SEL underline that the switch from road to rail transport is completely in line with the Commission’s white book on ‘European transport policy for 2010 — time to decide’ [8].
Belgija in družba SEL poudarjata, da je prehod od cestnega k železniškemu prevozu popolnoma v skladu z belo knjigo Komisije „Evropska prometna politika do leta 2010: čas za odločitev“ [8].
The investments in rail infrastructure are not necessary for the operations of the paper plant, as the road infrastructure could be adapted to the new situation by means of a diversion of the main road.
Naložbe v železniško infrastrukturo niso potrebne za obratovanje tovarne za izdelavo papirja, v kolikor bi cestne infrastrukture lahko prilagodili novim razmeram z izgradnjo obvoznice z glavne ceste.
Under this alternative some less favourable effects remain, but these should be considered as minimal.
Slednja možnost bi predstavljala določene pomanjkljivosti, ki pa bi bile neznatne.
This analysis is confirmed by a study made in the framework of the Environmental Impact Assessment.
To analizo potrjuje študija, ki so jo izvedli pri ocenjevanju učinka na okolje.
The cost of transport would not have increased without the rail infrastructure investments.
Če naložba v železniško infrastrukturo ne bi bila izvedena, se prevozni stroški ne bi povečali.
The aid would also be in compliance with the State aid rules in the transport sector.
Pomoč bi prav tako bila skladna s predpisi glede državnih pomoči v prometnem sektorju.
The investments could have been eligible under the European Marco Polo programme, but no aid application has been foreseen.
Naložbe bi lahko izpolnjevale pogoje za pomoč v okviru evropskega programa Marco Polo, toda predvidena ni bila nobena vloga za pomoč.
The aid is necessary to compensate for a part of the extra cost.
Pomoč je nujna za nadomestitev dela dodatnih stroškov.
Moreover, road transport is subsidised as well, as not all the cost of traffic jams and contamination is imposed.
Vrh tega je tudi cestni prevoz subvencioniran, ker niso predpisani celotni stroški, ki se nanašajo na prometne zamaške in na onesnaženje.
State aid in the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty
Državna pomoč v smislu odstavka 1 člena 87 Pogodbe
Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty lays down that, except where otherwise provided, aid which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods is, insofar as it affects trade among Member States, incompatible with the common market.
Odstavek 1 člena 87 Pogodbe določa, da razen če ta pogodba ne določa drugače, je vsaka pomoč, ki izkrivlja ali bi lahko izkrivljala konkurenco z dajanjem prednosti posameznim podjetjem ali proizvodnji, nezdružljiva s skupnim trgom, kolikor prizadene trgovino med državami članicami.
The proposed grant and tax exemption, in as far as the latter reduces actual tax payments, constitute aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty as it allows SEL to be relieved, by means of State resources, of part of the investment costs which it would normally have to bear itself.
Načrtovani subvencija in oprostitev davka, slednja kolikor znižuje znesek dejansko plačanih davkov, predstavljata pomoči v smislu odstavka 1 člena 87 Pogodbe, ker bi s pomočjo državnih sredstev družbo SEL razbremenila dela investicijskih stroškov, ki bi ga praviloma morala nositi sama.
The aid strengthens SEL’s position in relation to its competitors in the Community, and therefore it must be regarded as affecting competition.
Pomoč okrepi položaj družbe SEL nasproti njenim konkurentom v Skupnosti in jo moramo zato razumeti kot pomoč, ki prizadene konkurenco.
As there is intense trade between Member States in newsprint, magazine paper, as well as in waste paper and pulp, the Commission considers that the aid to SEL affects trade between Member States.
Ker obstajajo med državami članicami močni trgovinski tokovi na področju časopisnega in revialnega papirja, kot tudi papirnih odpadkov in papirne kaše, Komisija meni, da pomoč za družbo SEL prizadene trgovino med državami članicami.
Belgium has complied with its obligation to notify the aid pursuant to Article 88(3) of the EC Treaty and point 76 of the environmental aid guidelines.
Belgija je izpolnila obveznost priglasitve pomoči v skladu z odstavkom 3 člena 88 Pogodbe in točke 76 smernic pomoči za okolje.
General remarks on compatibility
Splošne opombe glede združljivosti
The Commission has assessed whether the exemptions set out in Article 87(2) and (3) of the Treaty apply.
Komisija je preverila, če so izjeme v skladu z odstavkoma 2 in 3 člena 87 Pogodbe uporabne.
The exemptions in Article 87(2) of the Treaty could serve as a basis to consider aid compatible with the common market.
Izjeme v skladu z odstavkoma 2 in 3 člena 87 Pogodbe bi bile lahko uporabljene kot podlaga za upravičitev združljivosti pomoči s skupnim trgom.
However, the aid (a) does not have a social character and is not granted to individual consumers, (b) does not make good the damages caused by natural disasters or exceptional occurrences and (c) is not required in order to compensate for the economic disadvantages caused by the division of Germany.
Vendar pomoč (a) ni socialnega značaja in ni dodeljena posameznim potrošnikom, (b) ne povrne škode, ki so jo povzročile naravne nesreče ali drugi izjemni dogodki in (c) ni potrebna za nadomestilo gospodarske škode, ki jih je prizadela delitev Nemčije.
The exemptions in Article 87(3)(a), (b) and (d) of the Treaty, which refer to promotion of the economic development of areas where the standard of living is abnormally low or where there is serious underemployment, to projects of common European interest or to remedy a serious disturbance of the economy of a Member State and to the promotion of culture and conservation, do not apply.
Izjeme v skladu s točkami (a), (b) in (d) odstavka 3 člena 87 Pogodbe, ki se nanašajo na pomoči za pospeševanje gospodarskega razvoja območij, kjer je življenjska raven izjemno nizka ali kjer je podzaposlenost velika, pomoči za pospeševanje izvedbe pomembnega projekta skupnega evropskega interesa ali za odpravljanje resne motnje v gospodarstvu države članice kot tudi pomoči za pospeševanje kulture in ohranjanje kulturne dediščine, niso uporabne.
Belgium has not attempted to justify the aid on any of these grounds.
Belgija ni poskušala upravičiti pomoči na podlagi teh določb.
As far as the first part of the exemption in Article 87(3)(c) of the Treaty is concerned, namely aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities, the Commission notes that the aid does not have purposes such as research and development, investment by small and medium-sized enterprises or rescuing or restructuring SEL.
Kar zadeva prvi del izjeme v skladu s točko (c) odstavka 3 člena 87 Pogodbe, namreč pomoči za pospeševanje razvoja določenih gospodarskih dejavnosti, Komisija ugotavlja, da pomoč nima za cilj raziskave in razvoja, naložbe malih in srednje velikih podjetij ali rešitev ali prestrukturiranja družbe SEL.
The aid may be important to encourage investment on the chosen location.
Pomoč je lahko pomembna za podpiranje naložb na izbranem področju.
Langerbrugge, however, is not located in an area where initial investments are eligible for regional aid.
Vendar se podjetje Langerbrugge ne nahaja na območju, kjer začetne naložbe lahko uživajo ugodnosti regionalnih pomoči.
Therefore the aid cannot be found compatible with the common market as it would facilitate the development of certain regions.
Zato se pomoč ne more presoditi kot združljivo s skupnim trgom iz razloga, da pospešuje razvoj nekaterih območij.
The Commission examined whether the aid qualifies for an exemption under Article 87(3) (c) of the Treaty on any other grounds, and in particular, whether the environmental aid guidelines apply to this case.
Komisija je preverila, če bi pomoč lahko izpolnjevala pogoje za izjemo v skladu s točko (c) odstavka 3 člena 87 Pogodbe iz drugih razlogov, in predvsem če bi se lahko v tem primeru uporabile smernice pomoči za okolje.
The aid has been granted on the basis of an aid scheme that has been approved by the Commission in 2000.
Pomoč je bila dodeljena na podlagi sheme pomoči, ki jo je Komisija potrdila leta 2000.
This approval, however, has been given before the entry into force of the new guidelines.
Toda ta potrditev se je zgodila pred začetkom uporabe novih smernic.
When the Commission adopted the new guidelines, it proposed to the Member States, as appropriate measures, to adapt the earlier approved aid schemes to bring them in conformity with the new guidelines before 1 January 2002.
Ko je Komisija sprejela te nove smernice, je predlagala državam članicam, kot koristne ukrepe, naj prilagodijo obstoječe sheme pomoči tako, da bodo postale združljive z novimi smernicami pred 1. januarjem 2002.
Belgium has unconditionally accepted this proposal of appropriate measures and was therefore held to modify the scheme that was approved in 2000 [9].
Belgija je brezpogojno sprejela ta predlog koristnih ukrepov in se je torej zavezala, da bo prilagodila shemo, potrjeno leta 2000 [9].
The Commission has therefore assessed the aid's compatibility under the new guidelines.
Zato je Komisija ocenila združljivost pomoči glede na nove smernice.
The part of the project concerning the rail infrastructure, however, is assessed in the light of Article 73 of the Treaty which concerns State aid to meet the needs of coordination of transport.
Toda del projekta, ki se nanaša na železniško infrastrukturo, se ocenjuje v luči člena 73 Pogodbe glede državnih pomoči, ki odgovarjajo potrebam po usklajevanju prometa.
Compatibility under the environmental aid guidelines
Združljivost na podlagi smernic pomoči za okolje
In accordance with point 29 of the environmental aid guidelines, investment aid enabling firms to improve on the Community standards applicable may be authorised up to not more than 30 % gross of the eligible investment costs.
Skladno s točko 29 smernic pomoči za okolje se lahko odobri pomoči naložbam, ki omogočajo podjetjem, da presežejo uporabne standarde Skupnosti največ do višine 30 % bruto upravičenih investicijskih stroškov.
These conditions also apply to aid where firms undertake investment in the absence of mandatory Community standards or where they have to undertake investment in order to comply with national standards that are more stringent than the applicable Community standards.
Ti pogoji so prav tako uporabni za pomoči dodeljene podjetjem, ki se lotijo naložb v odsotnosti zavezujočih standardov Skupnosti ali ki morajo izvesti naložbe, zato, da upoštevajo državne standarde, ki so strožji kot veljavni standardi Skupnosti.
As explained in point 6 of the guidelines, Community standards also refer to the standards set by national bodies in application of Council Directive 96/61/EC of 24 September 1996 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control [10].
Kot je rečeno v točki 6 smernic pomoči za okolje, so standardi, ki jih nalagajo državni organizmi v skladu z Direktivo Sveta 96/61/ES z dne 24. septembra 1996 glede celovitega preprečevanja in zmanjševanja onesnaževanja [10], prav tako razumljeni kot standardi Skupnosti.
Following this Directive Member States have to base the required standards in environmental permits on the results that can be obtained by applying best available techniques (hereinafter BATs).
Skladno s to direktivo morajo države članice opredeliti standarde, ki jih nalagajo v okoljskih dovoljenjih, na podlagi rezultatov, ki se jih lahko doseže z uporabo najboljše razpoložljive tehnike.
Point 36 and 37 define the eligible cost as the investments in land which are strictly necessary in order to meet environmental objectives, investments in buildings, plant and equipment intended to reduce or eliminate pollution and nuisances, and investments to adapt production methods with a view to protecting the environment.
Skladno s točkama 36 in 37 smernic pomoči za okolje so kot upravičeni stroški razumljene naložbe v zemljišča, kadar so strogo potrebne za zadostitev okoljskim ciljem, ter naložbe v poslopja, naprave in opremo, namenjenih zmanjševanju ali odstranjevanju onesnaženj ali škodljivih vplivov na okolje ali pa namenjenih prilagoditvi proizvodnih metod iz okoljevarstvenih razlogov.
