The above 14 legal entities (belonging to five undertakings, with some legal entities held liable as parent companies) infringed Article 81 of the EC Treaty and Article 53 of the EEA Agreement by participating in a single and continuous infringement between 23 January 1997 and 12 September 2002 in the methacrylates industry in the EEA involving three products:
Štirinajst zgoraj omenjenih pravnih oseb (spadajočih pod 5 podjetij, pri čemer so nekatere pravne osebe odgovorne kot matična podjetja) je odgovornih za kršitev člena 81 Pogodbe ES in člena 53 Sporazuma EGP s sodelovanjem v eni sami in nepretrgani kršitvi med 23. januarjem 1997 in 12. septembrom 2002 v industriji metakrilatov v EGP v zvezi s tremi izdelki:
Polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA)-moulding compounds;
Polimetil metakrilat (PMMA) – komponente za modeliranje;
Polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA)-solid sheet; and
Polimetil metakrilat (PMMA) – trdne plošče; in
Polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA)-sanitaryware.
Polimetil metakrilat (PMMA) – sanitarna oprema.
The infringement’s main features included: competitors discussing prices, agreeing, implementing and monitoring price agreements either in the form of price increases or at least stabilisation of the existing prices; discussing the passing on of additional service costs to customers; exchange of commercially important and confidential market and/or company relevant information; participating in regular meetings and having other contacts to agree to the above restrictions and monitor implementation within the EEA.
Glavne značilnosti kršitve vključujejo: konkurenti so razpravljali o cenah, se dogovarjali, izvajali in spremljali dogovore o cenah v obliki dviga cen ali vsaj ustalitve obstoječih cen; razpravljali o zaračunavanju dodatnih storitvenih stroškov za kupce; izmenjavali tržno pomembne ter zaupne tržne podatke in/ali podatke, pomembne za podjetja; sodelovali v rednih sestankih in vzdrževali druge stike za dogovore v zvezi z zgoraj omenjenimi omejitvami in nadzorom njihovega izvajanja v EGP.
THE METHACRYLATES INDUSTRY
INDUSTRIJA METAKRILATOV
PMMA-moulding compounds, PMMA-solid sheet and PMMA-sanitaryware are part of a production chain with Methacrylate-Monomers (MMA) being the starting point and main raw material of the three PMMA-products.
PMMA komponente za modeliranje, PMMA trdne plošče in PMMA sanitarna oprema so del proizvodne verige, kjer so metakrilat-monomeri (MMA) začetna snov in glavna surovina omenjenih treh PMMA izdelkov.
Although these three PMMA-products are all both physically and chemically distinct, they can be considered as one homogenous product group due to a common rawmaterial input.
Čeprav se ti trije PMMA izdelki med sabo razlikujejo tako fizikalno kot kemično, lahko zaradi skupne vhodne surovine veljajo za eno homogeno skupino izdelkov.
The investigation showed that the cartel covered the whole of the EEA.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je kartel pokrival ves EGP.
The 2000 EEA market value for all three PMMA-products was ca EUR 665 million for ca 255000 tons.
Leta 2000 je bila tržna vrednost v EGP za vse tri PMMA izdelke približno 665 milijonov EUR za 255000 ton.
In December 2002, the German company Degussa AG informed the Commission of the existence of a cartel in the Methacrylates industry and expressed the wish to cooperate with the Commission under the 2002 Leniency Notice.
Decembra 2002 je nemško podjetje Degussa AG Komisijo obvestilo o obstoju kartela v industriji metakrilatov in izrazilo željo po sodelovanju s Komisijo v skladu z Obvestilom o prizanesljivosti iz leta 2002.
Degussa provided the Commission with evidence that enabled the carrying out of inspections in March 2003 at the premises of Atofina, Barlo, Lucite and Degussa.
Podjetje Degussa je Komisiji predložilo dokaze, ki so marca 2003 omogočili izvedbo pregleda v poslopjih podjetij Atofina, Barlo, Lucite in Degussa.
After the inspections Atofina, Lucite and ICI submitted applications for reduction of fines.
Po pregledu so podjetja Atofina, Lucite in ICI vložila prijave za znižanje globe.
Atofina and Lucite were granted a reduction of fines.
Podjetjema Atofina in Lucite je bilo znižanje odobreno.
In addition, Lucite was granted immunity for part of the duration of its involvement in the cartel.
Poleg tega je bila podjetju Lucite odobrena imuniteta za del trajanja sodelovanja v kartelu.
ICI’s application was rejected as it did not bring significant added value,
Prijava podjetja ICI je bila zavrnjena, ker ni vsebovala znatne dodane dokazne vrednosti.
The Statement of Objections was addressed to 20 legal entities belonging to seven undertakings.
Obvestilo o nasprotovanju je bilo naslovljeno na 20 pravnih oseb, ki spadajo pod 7 podjetij.
The Oral Hearing, which all the addressees attended, was held on 15 and 16 December 2005.
Ustno zaslišanje, ki so se ga udeležili vsi naslovljenci, je potekalo 15. in 16. decembra 2005.
FUNCTIONING OF THE CARTEL
DELOVANJE KARTELA
Whilst there are indications that first anti-competitive contacts between producers of the three PMMA-products occurred already in the mid 80s, the Commission sets the starting date with the meeting of 23 January 1997, as this is the first anti-competitive meeting for which the Commission has confirmation from more than one of the participants.
Čeprav obstaja utemeljen sum, da so se stiki protikonkurenčnega značaja med proizvajalci PMMA izdelkov začeli že sredi osemdesetih let, je Komisija kot začetni datum določila sestanek z dne 23. januarja 1997, saj je to prvi sestanek protikonkurenčnega značaja, ki ga je Komisiji potrdil več kot en udeleženec.
At this summit meeting representatives of Atofina, Degussa and ICI discussed the disappointing profit situation relating to PMMA-moulding compounds and PMMA-solid sheet and the possibilities for a further coordination of market behaviour by the competitors, sales managers were to be disciplined to comply more strictly with previous concluded agreements
Na tem srečanju na vrhu so predstavniki podjetij Atofina, Degussa in ICI razpravljali o nedobičkonosnih okoliščinah glede PMMA komponent za modeliranje in PMMA trdnih plošč ter o možnostih za nadaljnje usklajevanje tržnega ravnanja s strani konkurentov; direktorjem prodaje naj bi zapovedali, da se morajo strožje držati prej sklenjenih dogovorov.
The overall structure of the anti-competitive arrangements for the three PMMA-products shows that they can be considered as one single infringement whereby competitors discussed prices, agreed, implemented and monitored price agreements, discussed the passing on of additional service costs to customers and exchanged commercially important and confidential market and/or company relevant information.
Skupni sestav protikonkurenčnih sporazumov za tri PMMA izdelke kaže, da lahko štejejo za eno samo kršitev, pri kateri so konkurenti razpravljali o cenah, sklepali, izvajali in nadzirali dogovore o cenah, razpravljali o zaračunavanju dodatnih storitvenih stroškov za kupce ter si izmenjavali tržno pomembne in zaupne tržne podatke in/ali podatke, pomembne za podjetja.
Gravity
Stopnja kršitve
Regarding the gravity of the infringement, impact on the market and its geographic scope, the infringement must be qualified as very serious.
Glede na stopnjo kršitve, njen vpliv na trg in njen geografski obseg je treba kršitev opredeliti kot zelo resno.
Differential treatment
Preferenčna obravnava
As there was considerable disparity between each undertaking’s weighting in terms of turnover in the cartelised industry, we have applied differential treatment (groupings) to take account of each undertaking’s weighting: this approach seeks to differentiate how each undertaking’s weighting damaged competition.
Ker obstaja velika razlika med posamičnimi prihodki podjetij v sektorju kartela, so bila podjetja obravnavana diferencirano (po skupinah), da bi upoštevali delež odgovornosti vsakega podjetja: ta pristopom se uporablja za razlikovanje med prispevki posameznih podjetij k protikonkurenčnim vplivom.
The undertakings have been divided into three categories according to their 2000 EEA combined turnover in the three PMMA products in 2000, the most recent year of the infringement in which most undertakings to which this Decision is addressed were active in the cartel.
Podjetja smo razdelili na tri kategorije, v skladu z njihovim skupnim prometom na trgu treh PMMA izdelkov v prostoru EGP leta 2000, zadnjem letu kršitve, ko je večina podjetij, na katere je naslovljena ta odločba, sodelovala v kartelu.
Degussa and Atofina of EUR 216 and 188 million respectively are placed in the first category.
Podjetji Degussa in Atofina, prvo z 216 ter drugo z 188 milijoni EUR, sodita v prvo kategorijo.
Lucite with EUR 105,98 million is the third largest producer and has been placed in the second category.
Podjetje Lucite s 105,98 milijoni EUR je tretji največji proizvajalec in sodi v drugo kategorijo.
ICI, which has been unable to provide turnover figures for its business unit ICI Acrylics, is placed in the second category with Lucite given that the sale of the former to the latter permits an equitable comparison with Lucite's figures in terms of ICI Acrylics’ turnover.
Podjetje ICI, ki ni moglo priskrbeti podatkov o prihodkih za svojo poslovno enoto ICI Acrylics, sodi v drugo kategorijo skupaj s podjetjem Lucite, saj prodaja drugega glede na prodajo prvega nudi dovolj natančno primerjavo zneskov podjetja Lucite s prihodki enote ICI Acrylics.
Quinn Barlo with EUR 66,37 million in PMMA-solid sheet alone has been placed in the third category.
Podjetje Quinn Barlo s prihodki 66,37 milijonov EUR samo v trdnih PMMA ploščah sodi v tretjo kategorijo.
It is not proven that Barlo took part in any collusive contacts concerning PMMA-moulding compounds or PMMA-sanitaryware as it was not aware or could not necessarily have knowledge of the overall scheme of the anti-competitive arrangements.
Ni dokazov, da je podjetje Barlo sodelovalo v skrivnih sestankih glede PMMA komponent za modeliranje ali PMMA sanitarne opreme, saj ni vedelo o ali ni nujno seznanjeno s skupnim projektom protikonkurenčnih sporazumov.
Consequently, given the facts of this case, a reduction of 25 % was applied to the basic amount of the fine calculated for Barlo.
Posledično je bilo podjetju Barlo v skladu s temi podatki priznano znižanje osnovnega zneska globe za 25 %.
Sufficient deterrence
Učinkovito odvračanje
In order to set the amount of the fine at a level which ensures that it has sufficient deterrent effect the Commission considers it appropriate to apply a multiplication factor to the fines imposed.
Komisija meni, da bi bilo primerno za globe uporabiti mnogokratnik, s katerim bi višino kazni postavili tako, da bi imela zadosten odvračalni učinek.
The Commission notes that in 2005, the most recent financial year preceding this Decision, the total turnovers of the undertakings were as follows: Degussa AG: EUR 11,75 million; Total SA: EUR 143,168 million and ICI PLC: EUR 8,49 million.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je leta 2005, zadnjega finančnega leta pred to odločbo, skupni promet v podjetjih znašal: Degussa AG: 11,750 milijona EUR; Total SA: 143,168 milijona EUR in ICI PLC: 8,490 milijona EUR.
Accordingly and in line with previous decisions, the Commission considers it appropriate to multiply the fine for Total/Atofina, Degussa and ICI.
Na podlagi tega in v skladu s prejšnjimi odločbami Komisija meni, da bi bilo primerno pomnožiti globo za podjetja Total/Atofina, Degussa in ICI.
Individual multiplying factors were also applied according to the duration of the infringement by each legal entity.
Posamezni mnogokratniki so bili uporabljeni tudi glede na trajanje kršitve vsake od pravnih oseb.
AGGRAVATING CIRCUMSTANCES
OTEŽEVALNE OKOLIŠČINE
Repeated infringements
Ponavljajoče se kršitve
At the time the infringement took place, Degussa, Atofina and ICI had already been subject to previous Commission prohibition decisions for cartel activities [1].
V času trajanja kršitve so bile proti podjetjem Degussa, Atofina in ICI že izdane odločbe Komisije o prepovedi kartelskih dejavnosti [1].
This justifies an increase in the basic amount of the fine to be imposed on these undertakings.
To upravičuje povišanje osnovnega zneska globe, ki bo naložena tem podjetjem.
ATTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES
OLAJŠEVALNE OKOLIŠČINE
Several undertakings claimed some or all of the following attenuating circumstances: early termination of the infringement, a minor/passive role, the absence of an effective implementation of the practices, the implementation of compliance programs, absence of benefit, crisis in the MMA industry.
Več podjetij se je sklicevalo na nekatere ali vse od naslednjih olajševalnih okoliščin: hitro prenehanje kršitve, manjša/pasivna vloga, odsotnost učinkovitega izvajanja praks, izvajanje programov za zagotavljanje zakonitosti delovanja, odsotnost koristi, kriza v industriji MMA.
These claims are all rejected as being unfounded apart from the minor/passive role claimed by Quinn Barlo.
Vse te trditve so zavrnjene kot neutemeljene, razen manjše/pasivne vloge, na katero se sklicuje podjetje Quinn Barlo.
The basic amount for Quinn Barlo was therefore reduced by 50 %.
Osnovni znesek za podjetje Quinn Barlo je bil zato zmanjšan za 50 %.
Claims for an attenuating circumstance based on cooperation outside the 2002 Leniency Notice have been rejected, since no particular circumstances have occurred which would justify such a measure.
Sklicevanje na olajševalne okoliščine na podlagi sodelovanja zunaj Obvestila o prizanesljivosti iz leta 2002 je bilo zavrnjeno, saj ni bilo nobenih posebnih okoliščin, ki bi upravičile takšen ukrep.
Indeed, all cooperation by the companies has been exclusively evaluated under the 2002 Leniency Notice.
Vsekakor je bilo vse sodelovanje podjetij ovrednoteno izključno v skladu z Obvestilom o prizanesljivosti iz leta 2002.
APPLICATION OF THE 2002 LENIENCY NOTICE
UPORABA OBVESTILA O PRIZANESLJIVOSTI IZ LETA 2002
Immunity — Point 8a
Imuniteta – točka 8a
Degussa was the first to inform the Commission of the existence of a cartel on 20 December 2002.
Podjetje Degussa je bilo prvo, ki je 20. decembra 2002 obvestilo Komisijo o obstoju kartela.
On 27 January 2003 the Commission granted Degussa conditional immunity from fines in accordance with point 15 of the Leniency Notice.
Dne 27. januarja 2003 je Komisija podjetju Degussa odobrila pogojno imuniteto pred globami v skladu s točko 15 Obvestila o prizanesljivosti.
Degussa has co-operated fully, on a continuous basis and expeditiously throughout the Commission’s administrative procedure and provided the Commission with all evidence available to it relating to the suspected infringement.
Podjetje Degussa je polno, dosledno in odzivno sodelovalo v administrativnem postopku Komisije ter ji priskrbelo vse dostopne dokaze v zvezi z osumljeno kršitvijo.
Degussa ended its involvement in the suspected infringement no later than the time at which it submitted evidence under the Leniency Notice and did not take steps to coerce other undertakings to participate in the infringement.
Podjetje Degussa je končalo svojo vpletenost v osumljeno kršitev najkasneje v trenutku, ko je predložilo dokaze v skladu z Obvestilom o prizanesljivosti, in ni poskušalo prisiliti ostalih podjetij k sodelovanju v kršitvi.
Hence, Degussa qualified for a full immunity from fines.
Zato se podjetju Degussa odobri polna imuniteta pred globami.
Reduction of fine — Point 23 (b), first indent (reduction of 30-50 %)
Znižanje globe – točka 23 (b), prva alinea (znižanje za 30–50 %)
Atofina was the first undertaking to meet the requirements of point 21 of the Leniency Notice, as it provided the Commission with evidence which represents significant added value with respect to the evidence already in the Commission's possession at the time of its submission and, to the Commission’s knowledge, Atofina terminated its involvement in the infringement no later than the time at which it submitted the evidence and its involvement has remained terminated.
Podjetje Atofina je bilo prvo, ki je izpolnjevalo pogoje iz točke 21 Obvestila o prizanesljivosti, saj je Komisiji priskrbelo dokaze, ki pomenijo znatno dodatno dokazno vrednost v primerjavi z dokazi, ki jih je ob času njihove predložitve Komisija že posedovala, in kolikor je Komisiji znano, je podjetje Atofina prenehalo z vpletenostjo v kršitev najkasneje takrat, ko je predložilo dokaze, ter s kršitvijo tudi ni ponovno pričelo.
It qualified therefore, under point 23 (b), first indent, for a reduction of 30 %-50 % of the fine that would otherwise have been imposed.
Zato je bilo upravičeno, v skladu s točko 23 (b), prva alinea, do 30- do 50-odstotnega znižanja globe glede na znesek, ki bi mu bil sicer naložen.
Atofina was awarded a reduction of 40 % of the fine
Podjetju Atofina je bilo odobreno 40-odstotno znižanje globe.
Point 23 (b), second indent (reduction of 20-30 %)
Točka 23 (b), druga alinea (znižanje za 20–30 %)
Lucite was the second undertaking to meet the requirements of point 21 of the Leniency Notice as mentioned above and qualified, therefore, under point 23 (b), second indent of the Leniency Notice, for a reduction of between 20 %-30 % of the fine.
Podjetje Lucite je bilo drugo podjetje, ki je izpolnjevalo pogoje iz točke 21 Obvestila o prizanesljivosti, kot že omenjeno zgoraj in je bilo upravičeno, v skladu s točko 23 (b), druga alinea, do 20- do 30-odstotnega znižanja globe.
Lucite was awarded a reduction of 30 % of the fine.
Podjetju Atofina je bilo odobreno 40-odstotno znižanje globe.
Immunity under point 23
Imuniteta v skladu s točko 23
Lucite’s evidence enabled the Commission to extend the cartel from 28 February 2001 until 12 September 2002.
Dokazi podjetja Lucite so omogočili Komisiji, da je razširila ugotovitev kartelske dejavnosti na obdobje od 28. februarja 2001 do 12. septembra 2002.
In accordance with point 23 of the Leniency Notice, this period of the infringement related to facts previously unknown to the Commission which had a direct bearing on the duration of the suspected cartel.
Skladno s točko 23 Obvestila o prizanesljivosti je to obdobje povezano z dejstvi, ki jih Komisja predhodno ni poznala, in je imelo neposredne učinke na trajanje domnevnega kartela.
