In that context, the degree of interchangeability between products must be assessed in terms of their objective characteristics, as well as the structure of supply and demand on the market, and competitive conditions.’(81) As regards the structure of supply and demand on the market and competitive conditions, the Commission has received comments from several parties (mostly national maltsters' associations) indicating that a clear distinction between regular and premium malt cannot be made.
V tem pogledu je treba presoditi, kako zamenljivi so proizvodi glede na njihove objektivne lastnosti, strukturo povpraševanja in ponudbo na trgu ter konkurenčne pogoje .“ (81) V zvezi s strukturo povpraševanja in ponudbe na trgu ter konkurenčnimi pogoji je Komisija prejela pripombe več zainteresiranih strani (zlasti nacionalnih združenj sladarjev), v katerih so te navedle, da ni mogoče jasno razlikovati med navadnim in premium sladom.
According to these, malt is, if anything, a product of a generic nature, with small variations in characteristics and subject to quality standards imposed by the brewing industry.
V pripombah so še dopolnile, da je slad generični proizvod z nekoliko spremenljivimi lastnostmi in da zanj veljajo standardi kakovosti, ki so jih določile pivovarne.
The majority of maltsters' customers seem only to want high-quality malt that meets their specifications and satisfies all food safety requirements.
Pri večini strank sladarn obstaja le povpraševanje po visokokakovostnem sladu, ki izpolnjuje njihove specifikacije in zahteve glede varnosti živil.
The degree of interchangeability between different malts from different malting companies would therefore not seem to be small, since all these companies have to produce malt of high quality to be able to satisfy their customers' demand.
Obojestranska zamenljivost različnih vrst slada iz različnih sladarn zato verjetno ni majhna, saj morajo vse proizvajati visokokakovosten slad, ki ustreza povpraševanju njihovih strank.
This would seem to be confirmed by evidence that premium beer is not necessarily produced with another quality of malt than regular beer.
To potrjujejo tudi dokazi, iz katerih je razvidno, da ni nujno, da se kakovost slada pri proizvodnji premium piva razlikuje od tiste pri proizvodnji navadnega piva.
According to the Netherlands, Holland Malt will produce its HTST malt primarily for the ‘premium’ segment of the beer market.
Po mnenju Nizozemske proizvaja Holland Malt slad HTST praviloma za segment premium piva na trgu piva.
The Netherlands states that for the production of these premium beers, raw materials of a high quality are required with characteristics that improve the flavour of these beers.
Nizozemska navaja, da so za proizvodnjo takega premium piva potrebne visokokakovostne surovine z lastnostmi, ki dajejo temu pivu boljši okus.
Holland Malt in its letter mentions the ‘Just Drinks.com 2004 report’, in which — according to Holland Malt — ‘major brewers state that premium beers are an inherently better liquid with a fuller, more distinctive taste’.
Holland Malt v svojem dopisu navaja poročilo „Just Drinks.com 2004 report“, v katerem po njegovem mnenju pomembne pivovarne ugotavljajo, da je premium pivo znatno boljše in da ima polnejši ter značilnejši okus.
According to the Commission, however, this sentence in the report refers to consumers' perception of premium beer, and not to a statement of major brewers.
Po mnenju Komisije se ta stavek v poročilu nanaša na predstavo potrošnikov premium piva in zato ne predstavlja ugotovitve pomembnih pivovarn.
On page 59 of the report it is stated that ‘Scottish & Newcastle on the other hand pointed to consumers' perception of higher quality and the status that is conferred by purchasing a premium brand.
Na strani 59 poročila je navedeno, da potrošnik po mnenju Scottish & Newcastle meni, da je znamka premium piva bolj kakovostna in ima boljši status.
The key factors are: perception of higher quality — premium beers are an inherently better liquid with a fuller, more distinctive taste’.
Pri tem so odločilni dejavniki: predstava o boljši kakovosti – premium pivo je znatno boljše in ima polnejši ter značilnejši okus.
In fact, the executive summary of the report as submitted by Holland Malt itself starts by saying that ‘interviews by just-drinks.com with a number of major international players in the global brewing industry revealed that premium beer is basically a marketing concept’.
V povzetku poročila, ki ga je predložil Holland Malt, je navedeno, da je „iz intervjujev just-drinks.com z nekaterimi pomembnimi mednarodnimi tržnimi udeleženci iz pivovarskega sektorja razvidno, da je premium piva v bistvu tržni koncept“.
The report also mentions that a standard beer can become a premium beer in a given region or a particular country within a region and that the major international brewers adopt different marketing strategies for different markets.
Poleg tega je v poročilu tudi navedeno, da lahko standardno pivo v določeni regiji ali v določeni državi določene regije postane premium pivo in da najpomembnejše mednarodne pivovarne tržno strategijo prilagodijo trgu.
Brands recognised as premium in some regions are not necessarily recognised as such in others.
Ni nujno, da so vrste, ki v določenih regijah veljajo za premium znamko, to tudi v drugih regijah.
The report furthermore states that ‘the reader must be aware that demand for premium beer looked at in terms of comparisons between years and trends over a number of years, is variable due to changes in consumer perceptions and not in product specification.
V poročilu je še navedeno, da „se mora bralec zavedati, da se povpraševanje po premium pivu v posameznih letih in zaradi različnih teženj v nekaterih letih spreminja glede na predstavo potrošnika in ne glede na spremembe v specifikaciji proizvoda.
As Interbrew points out, it is consumers who decide what is premium, not the industry’.
Kot ugotavlja Interbrew, je potrošnik tisti, ki določa, kaj je premium, in ne industrija“.
The fact that product specification is not an important factor in determining which beers are considered premium beers indicates that different malts, provided they meet (minimum) quality standards imposed by the brewing industry, are easily interchangeable.
Dejstvo, da specifikacija proizvoda pri določanju piva kot premium piva ni pomemben dejavnik, priča o tem, da so različne vrste slada lahko zamenljive, če izpolnjujejo (minimalne) standarde kakovosti.
The decision mentions that ‘although the malt market may arguably be subdivided, e.g. into brewing malt and distilling malt, the parties do not believe that this is appropriate because of the high degree of supply-side substitutability’.
V odločbi je še navedeno, da čeprav je trg slada jasno ločen na trg slada in trg destilacije, strani vseeno menita, da je zamenljivost pri ponudbi visoka.
In addition, the Commission has not been able to detect a separate market for premium malt in studying the statistical sources for malt production.
Poleg tega Komisija pri pregledu statističnih virov za proizvodnjo slada ni odkrila ločenega trga za premium slad.
On the contrary, all these sources (Eurostat, Euromalt, International Grains Council) only provide data on the general malt market.
Nasprotno, vsi omenjeni viri (Eurostat, Euromalt, Mednarodni svet za žito) navajajo izključno podatke o splošnem trgu slada.
The Netherlands and Holland Malt themselves have not provided data on existing capacities for, or the production of, premium malt.
Nizozemska in Holland Malt nista predložila podatkov o obstoječih zmogljivostih za proizvodnjo premium slada.
On the contrary, in the argument about overcapacity, they have referred to figures for malt (as a product), without making a distinction between regular and premium malt.
Nasprotno, pri razlagi presežnih zmogljivosti sta navajala podatke o sladu (kot enem samem proizvodu) in nista razlikovala med navadnim ter premium sladom.
The Commission considers, therefore, that a clear dividing line between the two categories (regular and premium malt) cannot be drawn.
Komisija zato meni, da obe vrsti (navaden in premium slad) med seboj nista jasno ločeni.
There may perhaps be differences in quality, but they do not appear to be of such a nature that the interchangeability of types of malt or competition between maltsters is appreciably limited thereby.
Med njima lahko obstajajo razlike v kakovosti, vendar niso takšne, da bi zmanjšale zamenljivost med vrstami slada ali konkurenco med sladarji.
Based on the above findings on overcapacity in the malt market, possible effects on trade between Member States of the aid measure in question and the lack of a clearly distinctive separate market for premium malt, the Commission considers the aid not to comply with point 4.2.5 of the guidelines, which provides that no aid may be granted for investments in products for which normal market outlets cannot be found.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenih sklepnih ugotovitev o presežnih zmogljivostih na trgu slada, morebitnem vplivu zadevne pomoči na trgovanje med državami članicami in na podlagi dejstva, da ni jasno dokazanega ločenega trga za premium slad, Komisija meni, da pomoč ni v skladu s točko 4.2.5 Smernic, ki določa, da ni mogoče dodeliti pomoči za predelavo in trženje kmetijskih proizvodov, če ni mogoče predložiti dovolj dokazov, da je za zadevne proizvode možno najti primerno tržišče.
Aid to a malting plant in Lithuania
Pomoč za litvansko sladarno
Holland Malt points out that the situation on the global malt market did not prevent the Commission from authorising investment aid for a malting plant in Lithuania.
Holland Malt poudarja, da položaj na svetovnem trgu slada Komisije ni odvrnil od dodelitve naložbene pomoči sladarni v Litvi.
The Commission would like to stress that it has not authorised state aid for an investment in a malting plant in Lithuania after that country's accession to the Community on 1 May 2004.
Komisija pri tem opozarja, da po pristopu Litve k Skupnosti 1. maja 2004 ni odobrila državne pomoči za naložbe v litvansko sladarno.
Before that date, no state aid rules applied in Lithuania for agricultural products.
Pred tem datumom v Litvi niso obstajala pravila o državni pomoči za kmetijske proizvode.
In any event, failings by other Member States to meet their obligations under Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty are irrelevant to whether the Member State against which the procedure in Article 88(2) of the Treaty has been initiated has granted (unlawful) aid.
Vsekakor pa napake drugih držav članic pri izpolnjevanju obveznosti iz členov 87 in 88 Pogodbe niso pomembne pri vprašanju, ali je država članica, proti kateri je bil sprožen postopek na podlagi člena 88(2) Pogodbe, nezakonito dodelila pomoč.
The Commission also wishes to state in this respect that it initiated the formal investigation procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the Treaty after Spain had notified its intention to grant aid to a malt factory named Maltacarrión S.A. The procedure was initiated on the same grounds as in the present case, i.e. that it cannot be ruled out that the malt market shows overcapacity.
V zvezi s tem želi Komisija poudariti, da je formalni postopek preiskave na podlagi člena 88(2) Pogodbe sprožila, potem ko je Španija sporočila, da bo dodelila pomoč sladarni Maltacarrión S.A. Postopek je sprožila iz istih razlogov kot v zadevnem primeru, tj. ker ni mogla izključiti, da ima trg slada presežne zmogljivosti.
After the procedure had been initiated, Spain withdrew its notification of the aid in question.
Po sprožitvi postopka je Španija zadevno pomoč preklicala.
Regional aspects
Regionalni vidiki
The Commission acknowledges and does not dispute the important regional development aspects of the aid for Holland Malt, as explained by the Netherlands and various interested parties.
Komisija potrjuje pomembnost pomoči Holland Maltu za regionalni razvoj, kot so to navedli Nizozemska in različne zainteresirane strani, ter temu ne ugovarja.
In this sense, the project would fit well with the IPR scheme.
V tem smislu bi projekt prišel v poštev za shemo IPR.
The project must, however, meet all the requirements for investment aid for the processing and selling of agricultural products as laid down by the guidelines.
V tem primeru mora projekt izpolnjevati vse pogoje za dodelitev pomoči za naložbe v predelavo in trženje kmetijskih proizvodov, kot je navedeno v Smernicah.
As it does not fulfil at least one important condition, the Commission cannot authorise the state aid for the project, despite its positive regional development aspects.
Ker ne izpolnjuje najmanj enega pomembnega pogoja, Komisija temu projektu ne more dodeliti državne pomoči kljub njegovim pozitivnim vidikom v zvezi z regionalnim razvojem.
For the above-mentioned reasons, the Commission considers the aid to Holland Malt to be incompatible with Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty.
Zaradi zgoraj navedenih razlogov Komisija meni, da pomoč Holland Maltu ni združljiva s členoma 87 in 88 Pogodbe.
The aid measure does not comply with point 4.2.5 of the guidelines, which provides that no aid may be granted for investments in products for which normal market outlets cannot be found.
Pomoč ni v skladu s točko 4.2.5 Smernic, ki določa, da ni mogoče dodeliti pomoči, če ni mogoče predložiti dovolj dokazov, da je za zadevne proizvode možno najti primerno tržišče.
In its letter dated 17 December 2004, the Netherlands declared that the aid was promised subject to approval by the Commission.
Nizozemska je v dopisu z dne 17. decembra 2004 navedla, da se pomoč dodeli glede na odobritev Komisije.
If, despite this condition, any aid has actually been disbursed, it will have to be recovered,
V primeru, da je bila pomoč dodeljena kljub temu pridržku, jo je treba preklicati.
The state aid which the Netherlands has granted to Holland Malt BV in the form of a subsidy of EUR 7425000, subject to authorisation by the Commission, is incompatible with the common market.
Državna pomoč, ki jo je Nizozemska dodelila podjetju Holland Malt BV v obliki subvencije v višini 7425000 EUR glede na odobritev Komisije, ni združljiva s skupnim trgom.
The Netherlands shall withdraw the state aid referred to in Article 1.
Nizozemska preklicuje državno pomoč iz člena 1.
The Netherlands shall take all necessary measures to recover from the recipient the aid referred to in Article 1 and unlawfully made available to the recipient.
Nizozemska sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe, s katerimi bo zagotovila vračilo nezakonito dodeljene pomoči iz člena 1.
Recovery shall be effected without delay and in accordance with the procedures of national law, provided that they allow the immediate and effective execution of this Decision.
Vračilo poteka v skladu z nacionalnimi pravnimi postopki, če ti omogočajo takojšnjo in dejansko izvršitev te odločbe.
The aid to be recovered shall include interest from the date on which it was made available to the recipient until its actual recovery.
Pomoč, ki jo je treba vrniti, obsega obresti od datuma, ko jo je upravičenec prejel, do datuma njenega dejanskega vračila.
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the reference rate used for calculating the net grant equivalent under the regional aid rules.
Obresti se zaračunajo na podlagi referenčne stopnje, ki se uporablja za izračun neto ekvivalenta subvencije regionalnih shem pomoči.
The Netherlands shall inform the Commission, within two months of notification of this Decision, of the measures taken to comply with it.
Nizozemska v dveh mesecih po objavi te odločbe obvesti Komisijo o ukrepih, ki jih je sprejela za izvajanje te odločbe.
This decision is addressed to the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
Ta odločba je naslovljena na Kraljevino Nizozemsko.

establishing the Trans-European Transport Network Executive Agency pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 58/2003
o ustanovitvi Izvajalske agencije za vseevropsko prometno omrežje na podlagi Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 58/2003
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 58/2003 of the Council of 19 December 2002 laying down the statute for executive agencies to be entrusted with certain tasks in the management of Community policies, and in particular Article (3)(1) thereof,
ob upoštevanju Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 58/2003 z dne 19. decembra 2002 o statutu izvajalskih agencij, pooblaščenih za izvajanje nekaterih nalog pri upravljanju programov Skupnosti in zlasti člena 3(1) Uredbe,
Regulation (EC) No 58/2003 confers on the Commission the power to decide to set up executive agencies in accordance with the statute established by that Regulation and to give them responsibility for certain tasks relating to the management of one or more Community programmes or actions.
Uredba (ES) št. 58/2003 pooblašča Komisijo, da odloči o ustanovitvi izvajalskih agencij v skladu s statutom, ki ga določa navedena uredba, in jih zadolži za določene naloge v zvezi z upravljanjem enega ali več programov ali ukrepov Skupnosti.
The purpose of empowering the Commission to set up executive agencies is to allow it to focus on core activities and functions which cannot be outsourced, without relinquishing control over, or ultimate responsibility for, activities managed by the executive agencies.
Ustanovitev izvajalske agencije naj bi Komisiji omogočila, da se osredotoči na prednostne dejavnosti in naloge, ki jih ni mogoče oddati v zunanje izvajanje, ne da bi pri tem izgubila obvladovanje, nadzor in končno odgovornost za ukrepe, ki jih upravljajo izvajalske agencije.
The management of Community action in the field of the trans-European transport network concerns the implementation of projects which do not involve political decision-making and requires a high level of technical and financial expertise throughout the project cycle.
Upravljanje ukrepov Skupnosti na področju vseevropskega prometnega omrežja zadeva izvajanje projektov, ki ne vključuje sprejemanja političnih odločitev, ter zahteva visoko raven tehničnega in finančnega strokovnega znanja ves čas trajanja projekta.
Tasks relating to the implementation of such Community action may be delegated to an executive agency with a clear separation between programming, the establishment of priorities and programme evaluation, for which the Commission will be responsible, and the implementation of the projects, which will be entrusted to the executive agency.
Prenos nalog, povezanih z izvajanjem tega ukrepa Skupnosti, na izvajalsko agencijo se lahko izvede z jasno ločitvijo med načrtovanjem programov, določanjem prednostnih nalog in ocenjevanjem programa, ki bodo v pristojnosti služb Komisije, in izvajanjem projektov, ki bo zaupano izvajalski agenciji.
Cost/benefit analysis carried out for this purpose has shown that the setting-up of an executive agency would make it possible to improve the effectiveness of the implementation of the trans-European transport network at a lower cost.
Analiza stroškov in koristi, ki je bila opravljena v ta namen, je pokazala, da bi ustanovitev izvajalske agencije omogočila večjo učinkovitost izvajanja vseevropskega prometnega omrežja z manjšimi stroški.
