Consequently, the Commission considers that the criteria of the definition of a ‘production site’ in paragraph 49 of the MSF 2002 are fulfilled and that the two phases of the investment form part of the same single investment project.
Zato Komisija meni, da so kriteriji opredelitve „proizvodne lokacije“ v odstavku 49 večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002 izpolnjeni in da sta obe fazi naložb del istega enotnega naložbenega projekta.
In addition, the Commission observes that the Hungarian authorities agree that the two phases of the investment by IBIDEN HU in the Dunavarsány Industrial Park have to be considered as a single investment project.
Poleg tega Komisija ugotavlja, da madžarski organi soglašajo, da je treba obe fazi naložb družbe IBIDEN HU v industrijski coni Dunavarsány šteti kot enotni naložbeni projekt.
As the first and second phases of the investment are considered to form a single investment project, they both are taken into account to calculate the maximum aid intensity of the project.
Ker se šteje, da sta prva in druga faza naložb enotni naložbeni projekt, se obe upoštevata pri izračunu najvišje intenzivnosti pomoči za projekt.
Given that the planned eligible expenditure in present value is HUF 41953072670 (EUR 168,30 million) and the applicable standard regional aid ceiling is 40 % (NGE), the adjusted maximum aid intensity in NGE resulting from the scaling down mechanism of paragraphs 21 and 22 of the MSF 2002 is 23,34 %.
Glede na to, da načrtovani upravičeni izdatki v sedanji vrednosti znašajo 41953072670 HUF (168,30 milijona EUR) in da je veljavna standardna zgornja meja regionalne pomoči 40 % (NED), je prilagojena najvišja intenzivnost pomoči v NED, ki je rezultat mehanizma zmanjšanja iz odstavkov 21 in 22 MSF 2002, 23,34 %.
Since the aid intensity for the project is 22,44 % NGE and thus is below the maximum aid intensity allowed under the scaling down mechanism (23,34 % NGE), the proposed intensity of the overall aid package complies with the adjusted regional aid ceiling.
Ker je intenzivnost pomoči za projekt 22,44 % NED in tako pod najvišjo intenzivnostjo pomoči, dovoljeno v okviru mehanizma zmanjšanja (23,34 % NED), je predlagana intenzivnost celotnega svežnja pomoči skladna s prilagojeno zgornjo mejo regionalne pomoči.
Compatibility with the rules under paragraphs 24(a) and (b) of the MSF 2002
Združljivost s pravili iz odstavka 24(a) in (b) večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002
Since the total aid amount of HUF 9793809933 (EUR 39,29 million) in present value exceeds the individual notification threshold of EUR 30 million, the compliance of the notified aid with paragraph 24(a) and (b) of the MSF 2002 has to be assessed.
Ker skupni znesek pomoči 9793809933 HUF (39,29 milijona EUR) v sedanji vrednosti presega prag za individualno priglasitev v višini 30 milijonov EUR, je treba oceniti skladnost priglašene pomoči z odstavkom 24(a) in (b) večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002.
The Commission’s Decision to allow regional aid to large investment projects falling under paragraph 24 of the MSF 2002 depends on the market share of the beneficiary before and after the investment and on the capacity created by the investment.
Odločitev Komisije, da nameni regionalno pomoč velikim naložbenim projektom iz odstavka 24 večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002, je odvisna od tržnega deleža upravičenca pred naložbo in po njej ter od zmogljivosti, nastale na podlagi naložb.
To carry out the relevant tests under paragraph 24(a) and (b) of the MSF 2002, the Commission has first to identify the product(s) concerned by the investment, and to define the relevant product and geographic markets.
Da bi Komisija lahko izvedla ustrezne preskuse iz odstavka 24(a) in (b) večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002, mora najprej opredeliti proizvod(-e), ki jih zadevajo naložbe, pa tudi upoštevni proizvodni in geografski trg.
Product concerned by the investment project
Proizvod, ki ga zadeva naložbeni projekt
According to paragraph 52 of the MSF 2002, ‘product concerned’ means the product envisaged by the investment project and, where appropriate, its substitutes considered to be such, either by the consumer (by reason of the product’s characteristics, prices and intended use) or by the producer (through flexibility of the production installations).
V skladu z odstavkom 52 večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002 „zadevni proizvod“ pomeni proizvod, predviden z naložbenim projektom, in, kjer je to primerno, njegove substitute, ki jih za take šteje bodisi potrošnik (zaradi značilnosti, cen in predvidene uporabe proizvodov) ali proizvajalec (zaradi fleksibilnosti proizvajalne opreme).
When the project concerns an intermediate product and a significant part of the output is not sold on the market, the product concerned will be deemed to include the downstream products.
Kadar projekt zadeva vmesni proizvod in velik del proizvodnje ni prodan na trgu, se šteje, da zadevni proizvod vključuje proizvode v poproizvodni fazi.
The notified project concerns the production of ‘ceramic substrates for diesel particulate filters (DPF)’.
Priglašeni projekt zadeva proizvodnjo „keramičnih substratov za filtre za trdne delce za dizelske motorje“ („DPF“).
DPF is an automotive part, which is fitted into the exhaust gas treatment system of diesel engine vehicles and which cleans the exhaust gas generated by engine combustion [25].
DPF je avtomobilski del, ki je vgrajen v sistem za obdelavo izpušnih plinov vozil z dizelskim motorjem in ki čisti izpušne pline, nastale z izgorevanjem v motorju [25].
The ceramic part, which is produced by IBIDEN HU, is an intermediate product.
Keramični del, ki se proizvaja v družbi IBIDEN HU, je vmesni proizvod.
After having produced it in the factory (TIER 3), it is sold under market conditions through IBIDEN Deutschland GmbH [26] to independent companies (the main customers are […], […] and […]), which perform the precious metal coating of the substrate, and thus the DPF becomes a coated DPF (TIER 2).
Potem ko je proizveden v tovarni (STOPNJA 3), se pod tržnimi pogoji prek družbe IBIDEN Deutschland GmbH [26] proda neodvisnim družbam (najpomembnejše stranke so […], […] in […]), ki substrat prevlečejo s plemenitimi kovinami, in tako DPF postane prevlečeni DPF (STOPNJA 2).
The end users of ceramic substrates are diesel passenger cars and light duty trucks.
Končni uporabniki keramičnih substratov so osebni avtomobili in lahka tovorna vozila z dizelskim motorjem.
No other products for sale on the market or use by other IBIDEN Group’s plants will result from the investment project.
Iz naložbenega projekta ne bodo izšli nobeni drugi proizvodi, ki se prodajajo na trgu ali jih uporabljajo drugi obrati skupine IBIDEN Group.
The Hungarian authorities confirmed that no other products than those notified and assessed will be produced at the aided facility for five years after the end of the project/full production.
Madžarski organi so potrdili, da se v obratu, ki mu je namenjena pomoč, v obdobju petih let po koncu projekta/polne proizvodnje ne bodo proizvajali nobeni drugi proizvodi razen tistih, ki so priglašeni in ocenjeni.
Following the above, the Commission will consider the ceramic substrate for DPF, which is installed in diesel passenger cars and light duty trucks as the product envisaged by the investment project.
V skladu z navedenim bo Komisija štela keramični substrat za DPF, ki je vgrajen v osebne avtomobile in lahka tovorna vozila z dizelskim motorjem, kot tisti proizvod, predviden z naložbenim projektom.
Relevant product and geographic markets
Upoštevni proizvodni in geografski trg
The definition of the relevant product market requires the examination of what other products could be considered as substitutes to the product envisaged by the investment project within the meaning of paragraph 52 of the MSF 2002.
Za opredelitev upoštevnega proizvodnega trga je treba proučiti, kateri drugi proizvodi bi se lahko šteli kot substituti za proizvod, predviden z naložbenim projektom, v smislu odstavka 52 večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002.
In this regard and, having taken into account the comments from the interested parties and the Hungarian authorities, the Commission has looked which products could be considered as substitutes for DPF.
V tej zvezi ter ob upoštevanju pripomb zainteresiranih strank in madžarskih organov je Komisija preverila, kateri proizvodi bi se lahko šteli kot substituti za DPF.
The summary of this analysis is presented below.
Povzetek te analize je predstavljen v nadaljevanju.
General overview of the exhaust gas treatment system
Splošen pregled sistema za obdelavo izpušnih plinov
Emission reduction is a complex area with many interactions between technologies, impact on fuel economy, driving performance, durability and costs.
Zmanjšanje emisij je kompleksno področje s številnimi medsebojnimi vplivi med tehnologijami ter vplivom na varčnost porabe goriva, vozno zmogljivost, vzdržljivost in stroške.
Emission reduction measures can be divided into two main areas:
Ukrepe za zmanjšanje emisij lahko razdelimo na dve glavni področji:
combustion system developments to reduce engine-out emissions; and
razvoj sistema zgorevanja za zmanjšanje emisij ob zaustavitvi motorja in
emission control technologies using ‘after-treatment’ of engines exhaust gas (only the latter is relevant for the present case).
tehnologije za uravnavanje emisij z „naknadno obdelavo“ izpušnih plinov iz motorja (v tej zadevi so pomembne samo slednje).
The exhaust gas of diesel engines contains hazardous substances: significant amounts of particulate matter (‘PM’, such as soot and Soluble Organic Fraction (SOF) [27]), and hazardous gases (such as hydrocarbons (HC), carbon oxides (COx), nitrogen oxides (NOx)).
Izpušni plin dizelskih motorjev vsebuje nevarne snovi: znatne količine trdnih delcev (kakršni so saje in topna organska frakcija [27]), in nevarnih plinov (kakršni so ogljikovodiki („HC“), ogljikovi oksidi („COx“), dušikovi oksidi („NOx“)).
These materials are treated by the exhaust gas treatment system installed in vehicles.
Te snovi se obdelujejo v sistemu za obdelavo izpušnih plinov, vgrajenem v vozila.
Accordingly, there are certain components within the system which clean hazardous substances.
Posledično so v sistemu nekatere komponente, ki čistijo nevarne snovi.
In general, these can be devices: (1) which clean the gas components and (2) which clean the particulate matter (including soot).
Običajno so to lahko naprave: (1) ki čistijo plinaste sestavine in (2) ki čistijo delce (vključno s sajami).
The following two emission after-treatment devices, which are relevant for the present case, are used in diesel passenger cars and light duty trucks:
Naslednji dve napravi za naknadno obdelavo emisij, ki sta pomembni v tej zadevi, se uporabljata v osebnih avtomobilih in lahkih tovornih vozilih z dizelskim motorjem:
‘DOC’ — Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, which is intended to suppress hazardous gases (mainly hydrocarbons (HC), carbon oxides (COx)) and, as a collateral effect, it also eliminates to a certain extent SOF (soluble organic fraction of particulate matter), but which cannot treat soot.
„DOC“ – oksidacijski katalizator za dizelske motorje, ki je namenjen zadušitvi nevarnih plinov (zlasti ogljikovodikov („HC“), ogljikovih oksidov („COx“)) in ki poleg tega kot stranski učinek v določenem obsegu odstranjuje topno organsko frakcijo delcev, ne more pa obdelovati saj.
A DOC, similarly to a DPF, is composed of an inner-solid substrate through which the exhaust gases are channelled.
DOC je, podobno kakor DPF, sestavljen iz notranje trdnega substrata, skozi katerega so speljani izpušni plini.
When flowing through the channels, the exhaust gas enters into chemical reactions with the catalysers (platinum and palladium) deposited on the wall of the substrate.
Ko izpušni plin teče skozi kanale, vstopi v kemijske reakcije s katalizatorji (platina in paladij), s katerimi so obložene stene substrata.
Since 2000 DOCs have been introduced in practically all diesel passenger car models in EEA in order to comply with more stringent emission norms, with regard to the limits of harmful gases in the emissions.
Z letom 2000 so bili DOC uvedeni v skoraj vse modele osebnih avtomobilov z dizelskim motorjem v EGP z namenom izpolnjevanja strožjih emisijskih standardov glede mejnih vrednosti škodljivih plinov v emisijah.
‘DPF’ — Diesel Particulate Filter, which is intended to retain the insoluble fractions of the particulate matter, i.e. soot.
„DPF“ – filter za trdne delce za dizelske motorje, ki je namenjen zadrževanju netopnih frakcij delcev, tj. saj.
This is achieved by mechanical filtering.
To se doseže z mehanskim filtriranjem.
The exhaust gas flows into the channels of the DPF honeycomb structure and is forced to flow through the walls since the channels are alternatively plugged.
Izpušni plin teče v kanale sataste strukture DPF in je prisiljen teči skozi stene, ker so kanali izmenično zamašeni.
The substrate serves as a filter and the soot is deposited on its walls.
Substrat opravlja funkcijo filtra in na njegovih stenah se odlagajo saje.
However, the DPF becomes saturated with soot and in order for it to remain functional the soot needs to be eliminated by burning it (regeneration of the filter).
Toda DPF se nasiti s sajami in da bi ostal funkcionalen, je treba saje odstraniti z izžiganjem (regeneracija filtra).
DPFs first appeared in series production in 2000 in the Peugeot 607 diesel car and have since become more and more widespread, witnessing a tremendous growth in the last 3-4 years.
Filtri za trdne delce za dizelske motorje so se v serijski proizvodnji prvič pojavili leta 2000 v dizelskem avtomobilu Peugeot 607 in odtlej postajali vse bolj razširjeni, v zadnjih 3–4 letih pa so doživeli izjemno rast.
This growth is due partly to the tax incentives offered on diesel vehicles equipped with DPFs in several countries, partly to the more environmental conscious approach of the consumers, and also to the anticipation of tightening emission norms, notably, with regard to PM limits (in the EEA emission reduction is regulated by the ‘Euro’ emission standards).
Ta rast je deloma posledica davčnih spodbud, ki so v več državah na voljo za dizelska vozila, opremljena z dizelskimi filtri za delce, deloma bolj ekološko osveščenega pristopa potrošnikov, pa tudi pričakovanja poostrenih emisijskih standardov, zlasti glede mejnih vrednosti delcev (v EGP zmanjšanje emisij urejajo „Euro“ emisijski standardi).
It is expected that before Euro 5 [28] comes into effect in 2009, an increasing share of diesel cars will already be equipped with DPF.
Pričakuje se, da bo še pred začetkom veljavnosti standarda Euro 5 [28] leta 2009 vse večji delež dizelskih avtomobilov že opremljen z DPF.
This trend will ensure a further expanding market for DPFs in the coming years.
Ta trend bo zagotovil, da se bo trg za DPF v prihodnjih letih širil naprej.
Different types of DPFs can be distinguished on the basis of the material of the filter (for instance, ceramic, cordierite or metal) and the filter regeneration strategy.
Na osnovi materiala filtra (na primer keramika, kordierit ali kovina) in strategije regeneracije filtra razlikujemo različne vrste DPF.
Regeneration is necessary in order to eliminate (i.e. burn-off) the accumulated particles.
Regeneracija je nujna za odstranitev (tj. izžiganje) akumuliranih delcev.
In practice this is achieved either through an additive mixed with the fuel which lowers the oxidation temperature (the latter is known as an ‘uncoated DPF with fuel borne catalyst’) or through a precious metal coating covering the walls of the substrate which helps in the burn-off process (the latter is referred to as a ‘coated DPF’ or as an ‘impregnated catalysed DPF’).
V praksi se to doseže bodisi z aditivom, zmešanim z gorivom, ki znižuje temperaturo oksidacije (slednji je znan kot „neprevlečen DPF s katalizatorjem, ki ga vsebuje gorivo“), ali s prevleko iz plemenitih kovin, ki prekriva stene substrata in ki pomaga v postopku izžiganja (slednji se imenuje „prevlečen DPF“ ali „impregniran kataliziran DPF“).
Due to the precious metal coating, this type of coated DPF also treats, to a limited extent, HC and CO gases by way of a chemical oxidation process.
Zaradi prevleke iz plemenitih kovin ta vrsta prevlečenega DPF v določenem obsegu obdeluje tudi pline HC in CO s postopkom kemijske oksidacije.
IBIDEN HU’s product belongs to this category.
Proizvod družbe IBIDEN HU spada v to kategorijo.
It is a ceramic substrate which is subsequently coated at TIER 2, and then integrated into the exhaust manifold system at TIER 1.
Gre za keramični substrat, ki je kasneje prevlečen na STOPNJI 2 in nato na STOPNJI 1 vgrajen v sistem izpušnega kolektorja.
The definition of the relevant product market following the interested parties’ and Hungarian authorities’ comments
Opredelitev upoštevnega proizvodnega trga, upoštevajoč pripombe zainteresiranih strank in madžarskih organov
In the Decision to open the formal investigation procedure, the Commission expressed several doubts, which have been summarised above, whether DOC and DPF can be considered as substitutes, which belong to the same relevant product market.
V odločitvi o uvedbi formalnega postopka preiskave je Komisija izrazila nekaj dvomov, povzetih zgoraj, o tem, ali se lahko DOC in DPF štejeta kot substituta, ki spadata v isti upoštevni proizvodni trg.
The Commission considers that the arguments put forward by the aid beneficiary IBIDEN HU, the interested party Aerosol & Particle Technology Laboratory and by the Hungarian authorities do not dispel the initial doubts of the Commission, which were confirmed by the comments of Saint-Gobain and the interested party whose identity is withheld.
Komisija meni, da argumenti, ki so jih podali upravičenec do pomoči družba IBIDEN HU, zainteresirana stranka Aerosol & Particle Technology Laboratory in madžarski organi, ne ovržejo prvotnih dvomov Komisije, ki so jih potrdile pripombe družbe Saint-Gobain in zainteresirane stranke, katere identiteta je prikrita.
In particular the Commission observes the following:
Komisija ugotavlja zlasti naslednje:
The substrates of DPF and DOC do not belong to the same relevant product market as their product characteristics are different, as a consequence of which there is neither demand side nor supply side substitution between the two products.
Substrati za DPF in DOC ne spadajo v isti upoštevni proizvodni trg, saj so njihove značilnosti proizvoda različne, posledica tega pa je, da med obema proizvodoma ni zamenljivosti ne na strani povpraševanja ne na strani ponudbe.
From the demand side perspective, the Commission observes that there are significant differences in product characteristics, intended use and price between substrates for DPF and substrates for DOC:
Z vidika strani povpraševanja Komisija ugotavlja, da obstajajo precejšnje razlike v značilnostih, predvideni uporabi in cenah proizvodov med substrati za DPF in substrati za DOC:
As demonstrated by the interested parties, the substrates for DOC are mostly made of the non-porous cordierite.
Kakor dokazujejo zainteresirane stranke, so substrati za DOC narejeni pretežno iz neporoznega kordierita.
The material used for the DOC substrate must resist an internal temperature of approximately 400 °C present inside the DOC. The reference material used for the substrates for DPF is silicon carbide.
Material, ki se uporablja za substrat za DOC, mora biti odporen proti temperaturi približno 400 °C v notranjosti DOC. Referenčni material, ki se uporablja za substrate za DPF, je silicijev karbid.
The DPF substrate must be porous in order to ensure the soot filtration.
Da bi substrat za DPF zagotovil filtriranje saj, mora biti porozen.
Due to the necessary regeneration of DPF, the substrate must be made of material resisting to very high temperatures (approximately 1000 °C in case of a coated DPF) and to repeated thermal shocks.
Zaradi nujne regeneracije DPF mora biti substrat narejen iz materiala, odpornega proti zelo visokim temperaturam (približno 1000 °C v primeru prevlečenega DPF) in proti ponavljajočim se toplotnim udarcem.
Thus, due to their different thermal characteristics, customers will be unable to switch between substrates for DPF and substrates for DOC in the event of price increase for one of the products.
Zaradi njunih različnih toplotnih značilnosti zato stranke v primeru relativnega povišanja cen enega od proizvodov ne bodo mogle menjati med substrati za DPF in substrati za DOC.
As far as the price is concerned, the Commission supports the view of Saint-Gobain and the interested party with withheld identity in this regard and observes that there is a big price difference between substrates of DOC and DPF, since the materials used for the substrates for DPF are higher performance materials whose production implies higher costs (for example, the use of a non-oxide high temperature sintering furnace is required).
Kar zadeva ceno, Komisija v tej zvezi podpira stališče družbe Saint-Gobain in zainteresirane stranke s prikrito identiteto ter ugotavlja, da obstaja velika razlika v ceni med substrati za DOC in DPF, ker so materiali, ki se uporabljajo za substrate za DPF, boljši materiali, katerih proizvodnja vključuje višje stroške (na primer, obvezna je uporaba neoksidne visokotemperaturne peči za sintranje).
According to the submission from the interested parties, the average price per unit of the substrate for DPF ranges between EUR 120-180 (without the cost of the catalyst coating and the canning cost), whereas the price of the substrate for DOC ranges between EUR 12 and EUR 20 (also without the cost of the catalyst coating and the canning cost).
Glede na vlogo zainteresiranih strank se povprečna cena na enoto substrata za DPF giblje med 120 in 180 EUR (brez stroškov prevlečenja katalizatorja in konzerviranja), medtem ko se cena substrata za DOC giblje med 12 in 20 EUR (prav tako brez stroškov prevlečenja katalizatorja in konzerviranja).
Such a price difference indicates that substrates for DPF do not belong to the same market as substrates for DOC, because DPF TIER 2 manufacturers cannot switch to purchasing a DOC substrate for technical reasons (otherwise they would do so because of a big price difference) and a DOC producer would not substitute a DOC substrate with a DPF substrate as s/he would get a more expensive product without an oxidation function comparable to a DOC substrate.
Taka razlika v ceni pomeni, da substrati za DPF ne spadajo v isti trg kakor substrati za DOC, ker proizvajalci DPF na STOPNJI 2 ne morejo preiti na nabavo substrata za DOC iz tehničnih razlogov (sicer bi to zaradi velike razlike v ceni storili), proizvajalec DOC pa substrata za DOC ne bi zamenjal s substratom za DPF, saj bi dobil dražji proizvod brez oksidacijske funkcije v primerjavi s substratom za DOC.
As far as the intended use is concerned, on the basis of the submissions from the interested parties, the Commission observes that the primary purpose of a DOC is to oxidise certain gases contained in the diesel exhaust into less harmful substances by way of a chemical reaction.
Kar zadeva predvideno uporabo, Komisija na podlagi vlog zainteresiranih strank ugotavlja, da je osnovni namen DOC oksidacija nekaterih plinov, vsebovanih v izpušnih plinih iz dizelskih motorjev, v manj škodljive snovi s kemijsko reakcijo.
The primary function of a DPF is to filter out soot by way of a mechanical filtering process.
Osnovna funkcija DPF je prefiltriranje saj z mehanskim postopkom filtriranja.
Moreover, a DOC device does not fulfil any functionality of a DPF, as it does not filter soot.
Poleg tega naprava DOC ne izvršuje nobene funkcionalnosti DPF, saj ne filtrira saj.
According to the expectations of car manufacturers and automotive suppliers, DOC and DPF will remain separate devices installed next to each other in the gas exhaust line [29].
Po pričakovanjih številnih proizvajalcev avtomobilov in dobaviteljev motornih vozil bosta DOC in DPF ostala ločeni napravi, vgrajeni druga ob drugi v cevi za izpušne pline [29].
