The oxidation performed by the catalysts of IBIDEN HU DPF substrate serves the purpose of providing sufficient temperatures for the burning of the soot, but it does not have the same purification effect as a full-function DOC. As has been pointed out in the submissions from the interested parties, the so-called multi-functional product by IBIDEN HU does not eliminate the need for a separate DOC in the exhaust gas treatment system.
Oksidacija, ki jo opravljajo katalizatorji substrata za DPF družbe IBIDEN HU, služi le zagotavljanju zadostne temperature za izžiganje saj, nima pa enakega prečiščevalnega učinka kakor polno delujoči DOC. Kot je bilo izpostavljeno v navedbah zainteresiranih strank, tako imenovani večfunkcionalni proizvod družbe IBIDEN HU ne odpravlja potrebe po posebnem DOC v sistemu za obdelavo izpušnih plinov.
The Hungarian authorities and the aid beneficiary also admit that, due to the current legislation, IBIDEN HU’s so-called multi-functional product still needs to be installed together with the DOC.
Madžarski organi in upravičenec do pomoči priznavata tudi, da je zaradi veljavne zakonodaje še vedno treba vgraditi tako imenovani večfunkcionalni proizvod družbe IBIDEN HU skupaj z DOC.
The Commission observes that the belief expressed by the IBIDEN HU and the Hungarian authorities concerning the tendency to use a combined single solution (of DOC and DPF) might reflect the future trend of the emission control technologies, however, it does not reflect the current situation, which is subject to the Commission’s analysis.
Komisija ugotavlja, da bi prepričanje o tendenci uporabe kombinirane enotne rešitve (DOC in DPF), ki so ga izrazili družba IBIDEN HU in madžarski organi, utegnilo odražati prihodnji trend tehnologij za uravnavanje emisij, ne odraža pa trenutnega stanja, ki je predmet analize Komisije.
Thus both DPF and DOC will continue to co-exist and will be installed together in the period to be considered (from 2003 to 2008 i.e. one year before the start of and one year after full completion of the investment project).
Tako bosta DPF in DOC še naprej soobstajala ter ju bodo v obdobju, ki bo obravnavano (od 2003 do 2008, tj. eno leto pred začetkom in eno leto po dokončnem zaključku naložbenega projekta), vgrajevali skupaj.
As illustrated by market data estimates in one of the studies, DOCs remain the major emission control component to be installed in all diesel cars in the period concerned.
Kakor kažejo ocene tržnih podatkov v eni od raziskav, DOC ostajajo pomembna komponenta za uravnavanje emisij, ki jo bodo v zadevnem obdobju vgrajevali v vse dizelske avtomobile.
The study also confirms that for future Euro 5 and Euro 6 technologies DOCs will continue to be used for oxidation of CO, HC and SOF.
Raziskava poleg tega potrjuje, da se bodo v primeru bodočih tehnologij Euro 5 in Euro 6 DOC še naprej uporabljali za oksidacijo CO, HC in topnih organskih frakcij.
In addition, the Commission observes that the market study by Frost & Sullivan, which is an independent industry consultant and researcher, analyses only DPF as a stand alone product to treat particulate matter and it does not refer to DOC.
Poleg tega Komisija ugotavlja, da tržna raziskava podjetja Frost & Sullivan, ki je neodvisno industrijsko svetovalno in raziskovalno podjetje, analizira le DPF kot samostojni proizvod za obdelavo delcev in ne omenja DOC.
Further, from the supply side perspective, there are differences in the production processes of the DOC and DPF substrates.
Nadalje, z vidika strani ponudbe obstajajo razlike v proizvodnih procesih substratov za DOC in za DPF.
Since the DPF substrate must have high temperature resistance, the material (mostly silicon carbide) must be prepared at very high temperatures and under oxygen free atmosphere.
Ker mora biti substrat za DPF odporen na visoko temperaturo, mora biti material (pretežno silicijev karbid) pripravljen pri zelo visokih temperaturah in v atmosferi brez kisika.
The cordierite which is predominantly used for the DOC substrate is sintered in the air and at relatively much lower temperature.
Kordierit, ki se pretežno uporablja za substrat za DOC, je sintran v zraku, in sicer pri sorazmerno precej nižji temperaturi.
As regards, the argument put forward by IBIDEN HU and the Hungarian authorities that there are manufacturers that produce both DOC and DPF and that the distinction between DOC manufacturers and DPF manufacturers is thus blurred, the Commission considers that it is not relevant whether the same manufacturer can produce or not both products.
Kar zadeva trditev družbe IBIDEN HU in madžarskih organov, da obstajajo proizvajalci, ki proizvajajo DOC in DPF, in da je razlika med proizvajalci DOC in proizvajalci DPF tako zabrisana, Komisija meni, da ni pomembno, ali isti proizvajalec lahko proizvaja oba proizvoda ali ne.
What is relevant is whether the same equipment can be used for the production of both substrates without significant additional costs.
Pomembno je, ali se lahko za proizvodnjo obeh substratov uporablja ista oprema brez znatnih dodatnih stroškov.
This was not demonstrated by the interested parties or the Hungarian authorities.
Tega pa ne zainteresirane stranke ne madžarski organi niso dokazali.
Notably, no concrete evidence of DOC substrate producers, which would produce substrates for DPFs with the same equipment without major additional investment costs, or vice versa, was provided.
Še zlasti ni bilo predloženih nobenih konkretnih dokazov o obstoju proizvajalcev substrata za DOC, ki bi z isto opremo, brez večjih dodatnih stroškov naložb, proizvajali tudi substrate za DPF, ali obratno.
In view of the above-mentioned arguments, the Commission considers that although a DOC and a DPF belong, together with the other components (for instance, Lean NOx Trap, the purpose of which is to reduce the NOx in the exhaust gas) to a diesel passenger car’s or light duty truck’s after-treatment/diesel emission control system, the mere fact that they exist next to each other in the same exhaust line or influence each other’s development does not make them substitutes from the demand side and/or supply side viewpoint, as these are two separate components with different characteristics, prices and intended use.
Ob upoštevanju zgoraj omenjenih argumentov Komisija meni, da čeprav DOC in DPF, skupaj z ostalimi komponentami (na primer lovilnikom NOx, ki je namenjen zmanjševanju NOx v izpušnih plinih), spadata v sistem za naknadno obdelavo/uravnavanje emisij pri dizelskih motorjih v osebnem avtomobilu ali lahkem tovornem vozilu z dizelskim motorjem, zaradi samega dejstva, da sta drug ob drugem v isti izpušni liniji ali da vplivata na razvoj drug drugega, še nista substituta z vidika strani povpraševanja in/ali strani ponudbe, saj sta to dve ločeni komponenti z različnimi značilnostmi, cenami in predvideno uporabo.
Moreover, as regards substitutability on the supply side, there are differences in the production processes of the DOC and DPF substrates, leading to the conclusion that there is no substitutability between DOC substrates and DPF substrates on the supply side.
Poleg tega, kar zadeva zamenljivost na strani ponudbe, obstajajo razlike v proizvodnih procesih substratov za DOC in za DPF, kar pripelje do sklepa, da na strani ponudbe ni zamenljivosti med substrati za DOC in substrati za DPF.
On the basis of the above and for the purpose of this Decision, the Commission considers that the relevant product market covers only substrates for Diesel Particulate Filters to be fitted in the exhaust systems of diesel passenger cars and light duty trucks.
Na podlagi navedenega in za namene te odločbe Komisija meni, da upoštevni proizvodni trg zajema le substrate za filtre za trdne delce za dizelske motorje, ki se vgradijo v izpušne sisteme osebnih avtomobilov in lahkih tovornih vozil z dizelskim motorjem.
Relevant geographic market
Upoštevni geografski trg
In the Decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure the Commission considered that the relevant geographical market should be EEA-wide due to the differences in emission regulation and fuel quality standards compared to third countries and the lower share of diesel vehicles in other major automotive markets [30].
V odločitvi o sprožitvi formalnega postopka preiskave je Komisija menila, da bi moral upoštevni geografski trg zaradi razlik v standardih emisijskih predpisov in kakovosti goriva v primerjavi s tretjimi državami ter manjšega deleža vozil z dizelskim motorjem na drugih večjih avtomobilskih trgih obsegati celoten EGP [30].
At present demand seems to be very low for after-treatment devices for diesel light duty vehicles in markets other than EEA.
Trenutno se zdi povpraševanje po napravah za naknadno obdelavo za lahka tovorna vozila z dizelskim motorjem na trgih, ki niso del EGP, zelo nizko.
With the development of more advanced after-treatment devices for diesel vehicles, which will then be able to meet the requirements regarding exhaust-gas emission in some third countries, the market for after-treatment devices is expected to expand geographically only after 2008.
Z razvojem sodobnejših naprav za naknadno obdelavo za vozila z dizelskim motorjem, ki bodo lahko izpolnile zahteve glede emisij izpušnih plinov v nekaterih tretjih državah, naj bi se trg za naprave za naknadno obdelavo geografsko povečal šele po letu 2008.
None of the interested parties or the Hungarian authorities have contested this conclusion.
Ne katera od zainteresiranih strank ne madžarski organi tej ugotovitvi niso nasprotovali.
On the basis of the above and for the purpose of this decision, the Commission considers that the relevant geographical market for DPF is EEA-wide.
Na podlagi navedenega in za namene te odločbe Komisija meni, da upoštevni geografski trg za DPF obsega celoten EGP.
According to paragraph 24(a) of the MSF 2002, an individually notifiable investment project will not be eligible for investment aid if the aid beneficiary accounts for more than 25 % of the sales of the product concerned before the investment or will, after the investment, account for more than 25 %.
V skladu z odstavkom 24(a) večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002 naložbeni projekt, ki ga je treba priglasiti individualno, ne bo upravičen do pomoči za naložbe, če upravičenec do pomoči predstavlja več kakor 25 % prodaje zadevnega proizvoda pred naložbo ali pa bo po naložbi predstavljal več kakor 25 %.
To examine whether the project is compatible with paragraph 24(a) of the MSF 2002, the market share of the aid beneficiary at group level before and after the investment has to be analysed.
Da bi proučili, ali je projekt skladen z odstavkom 24(a) večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002, je treba analizirati tržni delež upravičenca do pomoči na ravni skupine pred naložbo in po njej.
As the investment of IBIDEN HU started in 2004 and the full capacity production of 2,4 million units per year was expected to be achieved in 2007, the Commission examined the market shares in 2003 and 2008.
Ker se je naložba družbe IBIDEN HU začela leta 2004 in ker naj bi bila polna zmogljivost proizvodnje v obsegu 2,4 milijona enot letno dosežena leta 2007, je Komisija proučila tržne deleže v letih 2003 in 2008.
The Hungarian authorities confirmed that there are no joint-ventures and long-term marketing arrangements between IBIDEN and other companies in the ceramic division.
Madžarski organi so potrdili, da med družbo IBIDEN in drugimi družbami v sektorju keramike ni nobenih skupnih vlaganj in dolgoročnih dogovorov o trženju.
The Hungarian authorities have provided market data from the following sources: Frost & Sullivan Ltd. and AVL List GmbH.
Madžarski organi so predložili tržne podatke iz naslednjih virov: Frost & Sullivan Ltd. in AVL List GmbH.
The market shares of IBIDEN Group on DPF market before the start and after completion of the project in volume terms for Europe are given in Table III below.
V količini izraženi tržni deleži skupine IBIDEN Group na trgu DPF pred začetkom in po zaključku projekta za Evropo so podani v preglednici III spodaj.

The studies submitted by the Hungarian authorities demonstrate that the market share of IBIDEN at Group level in the DPF market both before and after the investment amounts to […] % — […] % in Europe in volume terms [32] and therefore substantially exceeds the 25 % threshold [33].
Raziskave, ki so jih predložili madžarski organi, dokazujejo, da v količini izražen tržni delež družbe IBIDEN na ravni skupine na trgu DPF v Evropi tako pred naložbo kot po njej znaša […] %–[…] % [32] in torej bistveno presega 25-odstotni prag [33].
Thus the condition in paragraph 24(a) of the MSF 2002 is not respected.
Tako pogoj iz odstavka 24(a) večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002 ni upoštevan.
Production capacity increase/Growing market test
Povečanje proizvodne zmogljivosti/analiza rastočega trga
Paragraph 24 of the MSF 2002 provides that individually notifiable projects will not be eligible for investment aid if one of the conditions stipulated in paragraph 24 is not fulfilled.
Odstavek 24 večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002 določa, da projekti, ki jih je treba priglasiti individualno, ne bodo upravičeni do pomoči za naložbe, če eden od pogojev, določenih v odstavku 24, ni izpolnjen.
Although, as indicated above, the condition in paragraph 24(a) of the MSF 2002 is not respected, the Commission has also examined whether the investment project complies with another condition stipulated in paragraph 24(b) of the MSF 2002.
Čeprav, kakor je navedeno zgoraj, pogoj iz odstavka 24(a) večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002 ni upoštevan, je Komisija proučila tudi, ali naložbeni projekt izpolnjuje drug pogoj, določen v odstavku 24(b) večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002.
According to paragraph 24(b) of the MSF 2002, the individually notifiable investment project will not be eligible for investment aid if the capacity created by the project is more than 5 % of the size of the market measured using apparent consumption data of the product concerned, unless the average annual growth rate of its apparent consumption over the last five years is above the average annual growth rate of the European Economic Areas’s GDP over the same period.
V skladu z odstavkom 24(b) večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002 naložbeni projekt, ki ga je treba priglasiti individualno, ne bo upravičen do pomoči za naložbe, če zmogljivost, nastala na podlagi projekta, znaša več kakor 5 % velikosti trga, izmerjene s pomočjo podatkov o očitni porabi zadevnega proizvoda, razen če je povprečna letna stopnja rasti njegove očitne porabe v zadnjih petih letih večja od povprečne letne stopnje rasti BDP Evropskega gospodarskega prostora v enakem obdobju.
In this context the Commission observes that, as shown in Table IV below, the average annual growth of the apparent consumption (measured as total sales) in Europe of DPF over the last five years is substantially above the average annual growth rate of the EEA’s GDP [34].
V tej zvezi Komisija ugotavlja, da je, kakor je prikazano v preglednici IV spodaj, povprečna letna rast očitne porabe (izmerjene kot celotna prodaja) DPF v Evropi v zadnjih 5 letih bistveno višja kakor povprečna letna stopnja rasti BDP v EGP [34].

Consequently, the Commission concludes that the aid under scrutiny is in conformity with paragraph 24(b) of the MSF 2002, however, as shown above, the aid is not in conformity with paragraph 24(a) of the MSF 2002.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da je pomoč, ki je pod drobnogledom, v skladu z odstavkom 24(b) večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002, ne pa tudi, kakor je prikazano zgoraj, v skladu z odstavkom 24(a) večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002.
Negative effects of the aid and conclusion
Negativni vplivi pomoči in sklepna ugotovitev
In accordance with the rules on regional aid, aid amounting to HUF 7411828735 (EUR 29,73 million) in present value (HUF 11745422640 or EUR 47,12 million in nominal value) had already been granted to IBIDEN HU on the basis of the existing regional aid schemes [36] up to the individual notification threshold established in paragraph 24 of the MSF 2002.
Skladno s pravili o regionalni pomoči je bila pomoč v znesku 7411828735 HUF (29,73 milijona EUR) v sedanji vrednosti (11745422640 HUF oz. 47,12 milijona EUR v nominalni vrednosti) že dodeljena družbi IBIDEN HU na podlagi obstoječih shem regionalnih pomoči [36] do praga individualne priglasitve, določenega v odstavku 24 večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002.
The aid amount, which is subject to the present notification, is the difference between the total amount of aid and the support already granted, i.e. HUF 2381981198 (EUR 9,56 million) in present value (in nominal value this amount is HUF 3845801110 or EUR 15,43 million).
Znesek pomoči, ki je predmet te priglasitve, je razlika med skupnim zneskom pomoči in že odobreno podporo, tj. 2381981198 HUF (9,56 milijona EUR) v sedanji vrednosti (v nominalni vrednosti to znaša 3845801110 HUF oz. 15,43 milijona EUR).
As demonstrated above, the aid under the scrutiny does not comply with paragraph 24(a) of the MSF 2002 because the market share of IBIDEN at group level in the DPF market in Europe both before and after the investment substantially exceeds the 25 % threshold.
Kakor je dokazano zgoraj, pomoč, ki je pod drobnogledom, ni skladna z odstavkom 24(a) večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002, saj tržni delež družbe IBIDEN na ravni skupine na trgu DPF v Evropi tako pred naložbo kakor po njej bistveno presega 25-odstotni prag.
The high market share of IBIDEN reflects the prevailing position of the company in the DPF market.
Velik tržni delež družbe IBIDEN odraža prevladujoč položaj družbe na trgu DPF.
According to the study by Frost & Sullivan Ltd (F&S) [37] and comments provided by the interested parties, IBIDEN enjoys an outstanding position in the European market for DPF, as it is one of the two major filter substrate manufacturers in the world (the other main manufacturer being NGK).
Glede na raziskavo podjetja Frost & Sullivan Ltd („F&S“) [37] in pripombe zainteresiranih strank ima družba IBIDEN odličen položaj na evropskem trgu za DPF, saj je eden od dveh glavnih proizvajalcev substratov za filtre na svetu (drugi glavni proizvajalec je NGK).
The Commission observes that the DPF market in Europe has experienced tremendous growth over the last years, as all vehicle manufacturers adopt the technology to meet the Euro emission limits.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je trg DPF v Evropi v zadnjih letih doživel izjemno rast, saj vsi proizvajalci vozil prevzemajo tehnologijo, ki izpolnjuje mejne vrednosti emisij po standardu Euro.
It is a highly profitable market the future strong development of which also seems to be secured.
Gre za zelo donosen trg, katerega prihodnji močan razvoj se zdi prav tako zagotovljen.
The aid subject to the notification would even more strengthen the leading position of IBIDEN in this market, making it more difficult for new entrants to consolidate their position in this market.
Pomoč, ki je predmet priglasitve, bi še bolj okrepila vodilni položaj družbe IBIDEN na tem trgu in tako novim udeležencem na trgu otežila utrditev svojega položaja na tem trgu.
The aid subject to the notification is thus susceptible to create substantial distortion of competition.
Pomoč, ki je predmet priglasitve, bi torej lahko povzročila znatno izkrivljanje konkurence.
On the basis of the foregoing considerations, the Commission concludes that the aid subject to the notification is not compatible with the common market.
Na podlagi omenjenih vidikov Komisija ugotavlja, da pomoč, ki je predmet priglasitve, ni združljiva s skupnim trgom.
As the aid of HUF 2381981198 (EUR 9,56 million) in present value (in nominal value this amount is HUF 3845801110 or EUR 15,43 million) has not been granted, there is no need for its recovery,
Ker pomoč v višini 2381981198 HUF (9,56 milijona EUR) v sedanji vrednosti (v nominalni vrednosti to znaša 3845801110 HUF oz. 15,43 milijona EUR) ni bila dodeljena, ni potrebe po njenem vračilu –
The State aid which the Republic of Hungary is planning to implement for IBIDEN Hungary Gyártó Kft. amounting to HUF 2381981198 in present value (HUF 3845801110 in nominal terms) is incompatible with the common market.
Državna pomoč v znesku 2381981198 HUF v sedanji vrednosti (3845801110 HUF nominalno), ki jo Republika Madžarska namerava izvesti za družbo IBIDEN Hungary Gyártó Kft., ni združljiva s skupnim trgom.
The aid may accordingly not be implemented.
Pomoč zato ne sme biti izvedena.
The Republic of Hungary shall inform the Commission, within two months of notification of this Decision, of the measures taken to comply with it.
Republika Madžarska mora Komisijo v dveh mesecih od priglasitve te odločbe obvestiti o ukrepih, sprejetih za uskladitev s to odločbo.

In order to ensure transparency and effective monitoring on regional aid to large investment projects, paragraph 36 of the MSF 2002 provides for a special ‘transparency mechanism’.
Za zagotovitev preglednosti in učinkovitega spremljanja regionalne pomoči za velike naložbene projekte odstavek 36 večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002 predvideva poseben „mehanizem preglednosti“.
Under the transparency mechanism Member States must provide information in a standard format whenever aid is granted under the MSF 2002 for non-notifiable projects with eligible costs exceeding EUR 50 million.
V skladu z mehanizmom preglednosti morajo države članice posredovati informacije v standardni obliki, kadar koli je pomoč dodeljena v okviru večsektorskega okvira iz leta 2002 za projekte, ki se ne priglasijo in katerih upravičeni stroški presegajo 50 milijonov evrov.
