A further delineation of smaller markets (e.g. for air springs for trucks/buses on the one hand and for trailers/axles on the other hand) has not been supported by the market investigation and would — in any event — not change the competitive assessment.
Tržna raziskava ni podprla nadaljnje razvrstitve na manjše trge (npr. za zračne vzmeti za tovornjake/avtobuse na eni strani in za prikolice/pogonske gredi koles na drugi) in v vsakem primeru ne bi spremenila konkurenčno-pravne presoje.
As to the geographic market, Continental argues that the geographic market for air springs for commercial vehicles is worldwide in scope.
Kar zadeva geografski trg Continental trdi, da je geografski trg za zračne vzmeti za gospodarska vozila globalen.
However, the market investigation has demonstrated that market conditions for air springs for commercial vehicles in Europe differ significantly from other regions.
Vendar je tržna raziskava pokazala, da se tržni pogoji za zračne vzmeti za gospodarska vozila v Evropi občutno razlikujejo od drugih območij.
Due to different technical requirements (e.g. bigger trucks) and different customer preferences (European springs being technically more sophisticated), springs used in US trucks cannot be used in Europe and vice versa.
Zaradi različnih tehničnih zahtev (npr. večjih tovornjakov) in različnega okusa potrošnikov (evropske vzmeti so tehnično bolj zapletene) se vzmeti, nameščene v tovornjakih v Združenih državah ne morejo uporabljati v Evropi in obratno.
As a result, there is no significant competitive impact from outside Europe on the European market.
Posledično ni občutnega vpliva neevropskih proizvajalcev na konkurenco na evropskem trgu.
Only one company (the US-firm Firestone) is currently importing air springs to Europe.
Samo eno podjetje (podjetje iz Združenih držav Firestone) trenutno uvaža zračne vzmeti v Evropo.
These air springs are designed specifically for the European market.
Te zračne vzmeti so zasnovane posebej za evropski trg.
They contain metal components which are bought in Europe, shipped to the USA, built into the air spring and then re-shipped to Europe.
Vsebujejo kovinske sestavne dele, kupljene v Evropi, odpremljene v Združene države, vgrajene v zračno vzmet in nato ponovno odpremljene v Evropo.
Another cost-disadvantage is caused by tariffs and transport costs.
Naslednja stroškovna pomanjkljivost nastaja zaradi tarif in stroškov prevoza.
Although these imports accounted for approx. 12 % in 2003, imports are likely to decrease significantly in the near future, since Firestone is in the process of building a production plant in Poland, which will be ready for production in 2005.
Čeprav je ta uvoz leta 2003 znašal približno 12 %, je verjetno, da se bo v bližnji prihodnosti znatno zmanjšal, ker Firestone gradi proizvodni obrat na Poljskem, v katerem bo proizvodnja lahko stekla leta 2005.
Therefore, the Commission is of the opinion that the relevant market for air springs for OEM/OES is Europe.
Zato Komisija meni, da je upoštevni trg za zračne vzmeti za OEM/OES Evropa.
With regard to air springs sold by independent dealers in the after market (IAM), the question of the relevant geographic market can be left open since the market investigation has shown that no competition concern will occur in the IAM market.
Glede zračnih vzmeti, ki jih prodajajo neodvisni trgovci na trgu za nadomestne dele in vzdrževanje vozil (IAM), lahko ostane vprašanje upoštevnega geografskega trga odprto, ker je tržna analiza pokazala, da na trgu za nadomestne dele in vzdrževanje vozil ni pomislekov glede konkurence.
Air springs for passenger cars
Zračne vzmeti za osebne avtomobile
Both, Continental and Phoenix/Vibracoustic, also produce air springs for passenger cars.
Podjetji Continental in Phoenix/Vibracoustic proizvajata tudi zračne vzmeti za osebne avtomobile.
In passenger cars, air springs (bellow/plate unit) are part of a more sophisticated air spring system, consisting of an air spring and other components (e.g. air pressure system, control units, etc.).
Zračne vzmeti za osebne avtomobile (spodnji del/plošča) so del bolj zapletenega sistema zračnega vzmetenja, ki je sestavljen iz zračne vzmeti in drugih komponent (npr. sistem zračnega tlaka, kontrolne enote, itd).
Continental's and Phoenix' activities overlap only in the field of air springs.
Dejavnosti podjetij Continental in Phoenix se prekrivajo samo na področju zračnih vzmeti.
Air springs are currently a niche product, mainly used in luxury cars.
Zračne vzmeti so trenutno zelo specializiran proizvod, ki se večinoma uporablja v avtomobilih visokega kakovostnega razreda.
The market investigation has confirmed that air springs for passenger cars have to be assessed separately from other spring types (e.g. steel springs).
Tržna raziskava je potrdila, da se morajo zračne vzmeti za osebne avtomobile ocenjevati ločeno od drugih vrst vzmeti (npr. jeklenih vzmeti).
It does not, though, seem appropriate to further distinguish between different customer segments in the market for car air springs (e.g. ‘limousines’, ‘SUVs’ and ‘light trucks’), as the production process and the customers are similar for all three segments.
Vendar se ne zdi primerno, da se dodatno razlikuje med različnimi potrošniškimi segmenti na trgu za zračne vzmeti (npr. „limuzine“, „SUV vozila“ in „lahka dostavna vozila“).
Continental claims the market to be worldwide in scope.
Podjetje Continental trdi, da je trg globalen.
The market investigation has supported a European geographic market definition, though.
Vendar je tržna raziskava je potrdila opredelitev evropskega geografskega trga.
In fact, there is currently only one non-European supplier — Gates from the US — active in Europe.
Trenutno obstaja v Evropi samo eden neevropski dobavitelj – podjetje Gates iz Združenih držav – ki deluje v Evropi.
Imports accounted only for about [5-10 ] % in 2003.
Uvoz je leta 2003 znašal samo okoli [5–10] %.
Recently, Gates has opened a new production facility for air springs in Aachen/Germany in order to serve the European market from Europe.
Nedavno je podjetje Gates odprlo nov proizvodni obrat za zračne vzmeti v Aachnu/Nemčija, da bi evropski trg oskrbovalo iz Evrope.
In fact, most customers are not inclined to buy imported air springs.
Dejansko se večina potrošnikov ne nagiba h kupovanju uvoženih zračnih vzmeti.
This is mainly because the development of passenger car air springs requires a close cooperation between customers, since air springs are technologically sensitive products.
Glavni vzrok tega je razvoj zračnih vzmeti za osebne avtomobile, ki zahteva tesno sodelovanje med potrošniki, ker so zračne vzmeti tehnološko občutljivi proizvod.
What is more, the development of an entire air spring system involves also other component suppliers, who are regularly based in Europe.
Poleg tega razvoj celotnega sistema zračnega vzmetenja vključuje tudi druge dobavitelje komponent s sedežem v Evropi.
As a result, most car manufacturers prefer to source from the two European manufacturers (Phoenix/Vibracoustic or Conti).
Posledično večina proizvajalcev avtomobilov rajši kupuje od dveh evropskih proizvajalcev (Phoenix/Vibracoustic ali Conti).
Air springs for rail vehicles
Zračne vzmeti za železniške vagone
Both parties produce also suspension products for rail vehicles.
Stranki proizvajata tudi proizvode za železniške vagone, ki zadevajo vzmetenje.
Again, Continental proposes to define one product market for all kinds of different suspension and anti-vibration systems used in rail vehicles (e.g. steel springs, hydraulic systems, air springs, rubber-metal parts).
Continental ponovno predlaga opredelitev proizvodnega trga za vse vrste različnih sistemov vzmetenja in sistemov za dušenje vibracij, ki se uporabljajo pri železniških vagonih (npr. jeklene vzmeti, hidravlični sistemi, zračne vzmeti, gumeno-kovinski deli).
Though, the market investigation has confirmed the Commission's view that secondary air spring systems (rubber bellow plus rubber-metal parts) form a distinct product market, separate from other primary or secondary suspension parts.
Vendar je tržna raziskava potrdila stališče Komisije, da sekundarni sistemi zračnega vzmetenja (spodnji del iz gume ter gumeno-kovinski deli) sestavljajo samostojni proizvodni trg, ločen od drugih delov primarnega ali sekundarnega vzmetenja.
This is mainly because most customers buy the air spring separate from other suspension parts and the production know-how for air springs varies significantly from the know-how for other products.
Glavni vzrok tega je dejstvo, da večina potrošnikov zračne vzmeti kupuje ločeno od ostalih delov za vzmetenje in da se znanje pri proizvodnji zračnih vzmeti občutno razlikuje od znanja, ki je potrebno za druge proizvode.
Unlike in the field of commercial vehicles, there is no IAM for rail suspension products.
Za razliko od gospodarskih vozil pri proizvodih za vzmetenje železniških vagonov trg za nadomestne dele in vzdrževanje vozil ne obstaja.
The market investigation has rather supported a European geographic market definition, most European customers dealing with European manufacturers.
Nasprotno je tržna raziskava podkrepila opredelitev evropskega geografskega trga, saj večina evropskih potrošnikov kupuje pri evropskih proizvajalcih.
The geographic market definition, however, can be left open, since even on a European wide market the transaction would not lead to a dominant position of Continental and Phoenix.
Opredelitev geografskega trga lahko ostane odprta, ker celo transakcija na trgu, ki zajema celotno Evropo, ne bi povzročila prevladujočega položaja podjetij Continental in Phoenix.
Heavy steel cord conveyor belts
Težki transportni trakovi z jeklenimi vrvmi
Phoenix and Continental are also specialised in the production of conveyor belts.
Podjetji Phoenix in Continental sta prav tako specializirani za proizvodnjo transportnih trakov.
Conveyor belts, made of rubber, textile or PVC, are designed for the transport of goods.
Transportni trakovi iz gume, tekstila ali PVC-ja, so namenjeni prevozu blaga.
There are three main types of conveyor belts: light conveyor belts, heavy conveyor belts and specialty belts.
Obstajajo tri glavne vrste transportnih trakov: lahki transportni trakovi, težki transportni trakovi in posebni trakovi.
Heavy conveyor belts are used for the transport of heavy goods such as coal, ore, gravel or sand.
Težki transportni trakovi se uporabljajo za prevoz težkega blaga, kot je premog, ruda, gramoz ali pesek.
Two main types of heavy conveyor belts can be distinguished, steel cord conveyor belts and textile conveyor belts.
Razlikujemo med dvema glavnima vrstama težkih transportnih trakov, med transportnimi trakovi z jeklenimi vrvmi in tekstilnimi transportnimi trakovi.
The parties are particularly strong in the field of steel cord conveyor belts.
Stranki imata še posebej močan položaj na področju transportnih trakov z jeklenimi vrvmi.
Continental argues that both types (textile and steel cord belts) belong to the same market for heavy conveyor belts.
Podjetje Continental trdi, da obe vrsti trakov (tekstilni trakovi in trakovi z jeklenimi vrvmi) pripadata istemu trgu za težke transportne trakove.
This market delineation, however, has not been confirmed by the outcome of the market investigation.
Vendar rezultati tržne raziskave niso potrdili te razdelitve trga.
From the supply side, textile belts and steel cord belts involve a significantly different production process, since steel cord belts are made of rubber and steel ropes whilst textile belts are woven of different layers of technical fibres.
Kar zadeva ponudbo vključuje proizvodnja tekstilnih trakov in trakov z jeklenimi vrvmi precej drugačne proizvodne procese, ker so trakovi z jeklenimi vrvmi narejeni iz gumenih in jeklenih vrvi, medtem ko so tekstilni trakovi stkani iz različnih plasti tehničnih vlaken.
What is more, competitors and customers have explained that both types have their respective fields of application, due to their manifestly different product characteristics: While textile belts can be used for smaller applications (short distances, smaller loads), the transport of heavy loads over long distances (e.g. for open cast mining applications) requires imperatively steel cord conveyor belts.
Poleg tega so konkurenti in potrošniki pojasnili, da imata obe vrsti zaradi očitno različnih lastnosti proizvodov svoja področja uporabe: tekstilni trakovi se lahko uporabljajo za manjše stvari (kratke razdalje, manjši tovori), prevoz težkih tovorov na dolge razdalje (npr. za uporabo pri dnevnih kopih) nujno zahteva transportne trakove z jeklenimi vrvmi.
This is because textile belts are by far more elastic than steel rope belts and can, therefore, only surmount relatively short distances.
Razlog za to je, da so tekstilni trakovi veliko bolj prožni kot trakovi z jeklenimi vrvmi in se zato lahko uporabljajo za sorazmerno kratke razdalje.
Although Continental rightly claims that for some applications both belt types can be used, the market investigation indicates that only 5-10 % of steel rope applications can be substituted by textile belts.
Čeprav Continental upravičeno trdi, da se lahko v nekaterih primerih uporabljata obe vrsti trakov, tržna raziskava ugotavlja, da se lahko trak z jeklenimi vrvmi samo v 5–10 odstotkih uporabe nadomesti s tekstilnimi trakovi.
Accordingly, heavy steel cord conveyor belts do not seem to belong to the same market as heavy textile conveyor belts and should be assessed separately.
Skladno s tem se zdi, da težki transportni trakovi z jeklenimi vrvmi ne pripadajo istemu trgu kot težki tekstilni transportni trakovi in se morajo ocenjevati ločeno.
According to Continental, the relevant geographic market for heavy conveyor belts is worldwide in scope.
Continental trdi, da je upoštevni geografski trg za težke transportne trakove globalen.
However, the outcome of the market investigation militates clearly in favour of a European-wide market.
Vendar rezultati tržne raziskave jasno govorijo v prid evropskega trga.
This is due to the fact that steel cord conveyor belts are in many cases tailor-made for a specific application.
To je posledica dejstva, da so transportni trakovi z jeklenimi vrvmi v veliko primerih prilagojeni za posebno uporabo.
What is more, transport and logistic problems play an important role.
Poleg tega imajo pomembno vlogo tudi transportne in logistične težave.
As a result, non-European producers play only a minor role in the European steel cord conveyor belts market.
Zaradi tega imajo neevropski proizvajalci samo manjšo vlogo na evropskem trgu transportnih trakov z jeklenimi vrvmi.
Therefore, the Commission has analysed the competitive situation on the basis of a European market.
Zato je Komisija analizirala konkurenčne razmere na podlagi evropskega trga.
Continental and Phoenix would have a combined market share on this market of [55-65] %.
Podjetji Continental in Phoenix bi imeli na tem trgu skupni tržni delež v višini [55–65] %.
The main competitors are CF Gomma [10-15] %, Firestone [10-15] % and Goodyear [5-10] % .
Glavna konkurenta sta CF Gomma z [10–15] % in Firestone z [10–15] %.
Such a high market share would already in its own be indicative of a dominant position of Continental.
Tako velik tržni delež bi že sam po sebi kazal na prevladujoč položaj podjetja Continental.
A dominant position is also likely with a view to the market structure: The combined entity's market share will be four times higher than the one of the closest competitor.
Na možen prevladujoč položaj kaže tudi tržna struktura. Skupni tržni delež subjektov bo štirikrat večji kot delež naslednjega konkurenta.
Potential competition problems are not excluded by the mere fact that the merged entity's customers are, at least to a certain extent, big automotive companies.
Možne težave glede konkurence niso izključene samo zato, ker so vsaj do določene mere kupci združenega podjetja velika avtomobilska podjetja.
Although it is true that some of the bigger truck producers have not raised series concerns about the merger, many smaller axle/trailer producers are afraid of a negative impact of the transaction on prices.
Čeprav je res, da nekateri večji proizvajalci tovornjakov niso imeli veliko pomislekov glede združitve, se veliko manjših proizvajalcev pogonskih gredi koles/prikolic boji negativnega vpliva transakcije na cene.
There are additional factors which underpin such competition concerns.
Takšne pomisleke glede konkurence podkrepljujejo tudi dodatni dejavniki.
First, in case of a price rise of the merged entity, customers would not be able to switch easily significant volumes to competitors.
Najprej se potrošniki v primeru povišanja cen združenega podjetja za takšne znatne količine ne bi mogli zlahka preusmeriti na drugega konkurenčnega dobavitelja.
This is not only because any new supplier would have to undergo a qualification procedure with most customers.
To ne samo zato, ker bi moral vsak novi dobavitelj za večino potrošnikov opraviti postopek ugotavljanja izpolnjevanja pogojev.
What is more, all competitors are capacity constraint.
Poleg tega imajo vsi konkurenti omejene zmogljivosti.
Both CF Gomma and Goodyear are utilising almost all their capacity.
CF Gomma in Goodyear uporabljata svojo skoraj celotno zmogljivost.
Firestone's new production plant in Poland will probably be filled by its current supply contracts.
Novi proizvodni obrat podjetja Firestone na Poljskem bo verjetno izkoriščen na podlagi trenutnih dobavnih pogodb.
Second, the transaction would combine the two leading firms in the OEM/OES market.
Nato bi transakcija združila dve vodilni podjetji na trgu OEM/OES.
Indeed, the current market position of Phoenix does not seem to reflect its true potential.
Zdi se, da trenutni položaj podjetja Phoenix na trgu ne odraža njegove prave zmogljivosti.
Phoenix brought its OEM/OES business with trucks and buses into the joint venture with Freudenberg, Vibracoustic.
Phoenix je preko skupnega podjetja Vibracoustic, v katerem ima delež tudi podjetje Freudenberg, v skupno podjetje vključil tudi svoje OEM/OES posle s tovornjaki in avtobusi.
However, the joint venture focused its marketing efforts on air springs for passenger cars and achieved a rather minor position in the market for trucks and buses.
Vendar je skupno podjetje osredotočilo svoja tržna prizadevanja na zračne vzmeti za osebne avtomobile in ima na trgu za tovornjake in avtobuse manj pomemben položaj.
Phoenix is contractually bound to refrain from participating in requests for quotations by truck and bus manufacturers.
Phoenix je pogodbeno zavezan, da se mora vzdržati udeležbe pri zahtevkih za ponudbo, ki jih oddajo proizvajalci tovornjakov in avtobusov.
However, Phoenix managed to negotiate a suspension of the penalty clause and was able to participate in two recent competitions.
Vendar je podjetju Phoenix na pogajanjih uspelo doseči opustitev člena o pogodbeni kazni in je lahko sodelovalo na dveh nedavnih natečajih.
In both of these two competitions it ended up as runner up behind Continental.
Podjetje je bilo na obeh natečajih uvrščeno za podjetje Continental.
Customers rank Phoenix close to Contitech when it comes to technical skills and even better in terms of pricing.
Potrošniki glede na tehnična znanja in spretnosti podjetje Phoenix ocenjujejo skoraj tako dobro kot podjetje Contitech, glede na cene pa še celo bolje.
Third, contrary to what Continental claimed, the market investigation has shown that patents are used to prevent competitors from stepping in as a second supplier in an ongoing delivery contract.
Nenazadnje pa je v nasprotju s trditvami podjetja Continental tržna raziskava pokazala, da se patenti uporabljajo za preprečevanje, da bi se konkurenti kot drugi dobavitelji vključili v trenutne pogodbe o dobavi.
A competitor told the Commission that especially Continental is using claimed IP rights aggressively to exclude competitors from competitions.
Konkurenčni ponudnik je Komisiji sporočil, da zlasti Continental agresivno uporablja pravice intelektualne lastnine, da bi konkurente izključilo iz natečajev.
For all these reasons the Commission believes that the proposed takeover of Phoenix by Continental would lead to a dominant position of the merged entity in the market for air springs for commercial vehicles in Europe.
Zaradi vseh teh razlogov Komisija verjame, da bi načrtovani prevzem podjetja Phoenix s strani podjetja Continental povzročil prevladujoči položaj združenega podjetja na trgu za zračne vzmeti za gospodarska vozila v Evropi.
The takeover of Phoenix/Vibracoustic by Continental would combine the two only European producers of passenger car air springs.
Prevzem podjetja Phoenix/Vibracoustic s strani podjetja Continental bi združil edina evropska proizvajalca zračnih vzmeti za osebne avtomobile.
The market share of the combined entity in Europe would be around [85-95] % for 2003.
Tržni delež skupnega podjetja v Evropi bi leta 2003 znašal okoli [85–95] %.
Although all customers of air spring modules are big automotive companies and have usually some buyer power over their suppliers, even some of the big customers have raised concerns about the transaction.
Čeprav so vsi kupci modulov zračnih vzmeti velika avtomobilska podjetja in imajo običajno nekaj nakupne moči, ki jo lahko uporabijo pri svojih dobaviteljih, so celo nekateri večji kupci izrazili zaskrbljenost glede transakcije.
Indeed, the investigation has shown that many car producers have only one supplier for air springs.
Preiskava je pokazala, da ima veliko avtomobilskih proizvajalcev samo enega dobavitelja zračnih vzmeti.
The merger would eliminate the ability from car manufacturers to instil competition between Continental and Phoenix, leaving them with only one supplier active in Europe.
Zaradi te združitve avtomobilski proizvajalci ne bi bili več zmožni sprožiti konkurence med podjetjema Continental in Phoenix, kar bi pomenilo, da bi v Evropi aktivno deloval en sam dobavitelj.
On the other hand, the Commission has found some evidence that new players from outside Europe might enter the European market in the near future.
Po drugi strani ima Komisija nekaj dokazov, da bi lahko v bližnji prihodnosti na evropski trg vstopili novi neevropski akterji.
The question, whether the transaction would lead to a dominant position in the passenger car air springs market can be left open, since Continental has recently committed to divest Phoenix' activities in this market by selling Phoenix' share in the joint venture Vibracoustic to Freudenberg.
Vprašanje, ali bi transakcija povzročila prevladujoči položaj na trgu za zračne vzmeti za osebne avtomobile, lahko ostane odprto, ker se je Continental nedavno zavezal, da bo odprodal delež podjetja Phoenix v skupnem podjetju Vibracoustic podjetju Freudenberg, in s tem opustil dejavnosti podjetja Phoenix na tem trgu.
The acquisition of Phoenix' shares in Vibracoustic by Freudenberg removes the competition concerns in the field of air springs for passenger cars, since Phoenix is only active in the market for passenger car air springs through Vibracoustic.
S tem, ko bo podjetje Freudenberg pridobilo delnice podjetja Phoenix v podjetju Vibracoustic, ne bo več pomislekov glede konkurence na področju zračnih vzmeti za osebne avtomobile, ker je Phoenix preko podjetja Vibracoustic dejaven samo na trgu za zračne vzmeti za osebne avtomobile.
The market investigation revealed that the combined market share for Continental and Phoenix for secondary air spring systems would be approx. [55-65] %.
Tržna raziskava je pokazala, da bi skupni tržni delež podjetij Continental in Phoenix za sekundarne sisteme zračnega vzmetenja znašal približno [55–65] %.
Other competitors (e.g. Paulstra, Schwab, Trelleborg or Toyo) would hold only minor shares of 5 % or less.
Drugi konkurenti (npr. Paulstra, Schwab, Trelleborg ali Toyo) bi imeli samo manjše deleže v višini 5 % ali manj.
