The final commitments provide that the divested business will be sold only to a company active in metals mining and/or processing with sufficient nickel resources to sustain the economic viability of the divested business upon the expiry of the Matte Supply Agreement with New Inco.
V končnih zavezah je določeno, da bo odsvojeni obrat prodan le družbi, ki je dejavna na področju pridobivanja in/ali predelave z zadostnimi viri niklja, da zagotovi ekonomski obstoj odsvojenega obrata ob izteku dobavne pogodbe za nikljev kamen z družbo New Inco.
The level of 55000 MT per year, which Falconbridge currently supplies to Nikkelverk, is mentioned by Inco as a relevant benchmark.
Raven 55000 metričnih ton na leto, kolikor družba Falconbridge trenutno dobavlja rafineriji Nikkelverk, je dužba Inco navedla kot pomembno merilo uspešnosti.
This provision fully addresses the Commission’s concerns as regards the viability and the competitiveness of the divested business as it clearly provided for sufficient assurance as to the divested business nickel feed supply.
Ta določba v celoti obravnava pomisleke Komisije glede sposobnosti preživetja odsvojenega obrata in njegove konkurenčnosti, saj je jasno določila zadostno zagotovilo glede dobave surovega niklja odsvojenemu obratu.
The Commitments are therefore suitable to entirely remove all the competitive concerns identified above.
Zaveze so tako ustrezne, da se v celoti odpravijo vsi pomisleki glede konkurence, ki so opredeljeni zgoraj.
In addition, the conditions of the 10-year flexible feed supply and the pricing mechanism proposed in the final version of the Commitments have been found to be sufficient to protect the viability and competitiveness of the divested business if it is sold to a company already active in metal mining.
Poleg tega so bili pogoji desetletne prožne dobave osnovnih surovin in mehanizma oblikovanja cen, ki so predlagani v končni različici zavez, ugotovljeni kot zadostni za zaščito sposobnosti preživetja odsvojenega obrata in njegove konkurenčnosti, če se proda družbi, ki je že dejavna pri pridobivanju kovin.
Suitability of the proposed purchaser
Ustreznost predlaganega kupca
LionOre Mining International Ltd (LionOre) is a mid-sized producer of nickel with operating mines in Botswana, South Africa, and Australia and in several mining projects in these regions.
Dužba LionOre Mining International Ltd („LionOre“) je srednje velik proizvajalec niklja z delujočimi rudniki v Bocvani, Južni Afriki in Avstraliji ter z več rudarskih projektov v teh regijah.
LionOre’s current mines and mining projects are all sulphide mines.
Zdajšnji rudniki in rudarski projekti družbe LionOre se vsi nanašajo na rudnike sulfidov.
The company has been in the nickel business since 1996, producing about 29000 MT of nickel in 2005, and is the 10th largest nickel producer in the world.
Družba se ukvarja s poslovanjem z nikljem od leta 1996 s proizvodnjo okoli 29000 metričnih ton niklja v letu 2005 ter je deseta največja proizvajalka niklja na svetu.
LionOre has ownership interests in four producing nickel mines and one gold mine.
Družba LionOre ima lastniške deleže v štirih rudnikih za pridobivanje niklja in v enem rudniku zlata.
In Africa, the company controls an 85 % interest in Tati Nickel in Botswana and a 50 % interest in the Nkomati nickel mine in South Africa.
V Afriki družba obvladuje 85-odstotni delež v Tati Nickel v Bocvani in 50-odstotni delež v rudniku niklja Nkomati v Južni Afriki.
In Western Australia, LionOre has a 100 % interest in the Lake Johnston nickel operations, an 80 % interest in the Black Swan nickel operations, and a 100 % interest in the Thunderbox gold mine.
V Zahodni Avstraliji ima družba Lion Ore 100-odstotni delež v okviru dejavnosti z nikljem Lake Johnson in 80-odstotni delež pri dejavnostih z nikljem Black Swan in 100-odstotni delež v rudniku zlata Thunderbox.
In addition, LionOre has plans to develop the Honeymoon Well deposit in Western Australia.
Poleg tega LionOre načrtuje razvoj nahajališča Honeymoon Well v Zahodni Avstraliji.
While the company is working towards becoming a fully integrated nickel producer through its Activox technology, LionOre currently only produces nickel concentrate [3], and does not have any refining capabilities.
Čeprav družba LionOre želi postati popolnoma vključena proizvajalka niklja s svojo tehnologijo Activox, sedaj proizvaja samo nikljev koncentrat [3] in nima zmogljivosti za rafiniranje.
The total proven nickel resource base of LionOre amounted to 2,3 million MT at the end of 2005.
Celotna dokazana baza virov niklja družbe LionOre je ob koncu leta 2005 znašala 2,3 milijona metričnih ton.
In line with general principles and with the criteria set in the commitments, it must be assessed whether, after the acquisition of the divested business, LionOre will become an independent competitive force on the markets where competition concerns have been identified.
Skladno s splošnimi načeli in merili iz zavez je treba oceniti, ali bo družba LionOre po nakupu odsvojenega obrata postala neodvisna konkurenčna sila na trgih, kjer so bili ugotovljeni pomisleki glede konkurence.
In particular, an assessment was made of whether LionOre is/will remain independent of Inco/New Inco and has sufficient financial resources to acquire the divested business.
Zlasti je bilo ocenjeno, ali je/bo Družba LionOre ostala neodvisna od družbe Inco/New Inco in ima zadovoljive finančne vire za nakup odsvojenega obrata.
This implies focusing on how LionOre could integrate its existing and future-nickel mining operations with Nikkelverk and on whether LionOre could supply sufficient quantities of feed to Nikkelverk to sustain the economic viability of the divested business at the expiry of the Matte Supply Agreement, as provided for in the commitments.
To pomeni, da se je treba osredotočiti na to, kako bi družba LionOre lahko povezala svoje sedanje in prihodnje dejavnosti pridobivanja niklja z rafinerijo Nikkelverk in ali bi družba LionOre lahko dobavila zadostne količine osnovnih surovin rafineriji Nikkelverk za zagotovitev ekonomskega obstoja odsvojenega obrata ob izteku dobavne pogodbe za nikljev kamen, kakor je določeno v zavezah.
LionOre meets all the criteria in the commitments for the suitability of the purchaser and the generic conditions set by the Commission for the suitability of the purchaser in a divestiture remedy.
LionOre izpolnjuje vsa merila v zavezah za ustreznost kupca in splošne pogoje, ki jih je določila Komisija za ustreznost kupca pri ukrepu odprodaje.
It is therefore concluded that LionOre is a suitable purchaser for the divested business and that it will ensure the independence, viability, and competitiveness of the divested business in the long term.
Zato se sklene, da je LionOre primeren kupec za odsvojeni obrat in da bo dolgoročno zagotovil neodvisnost, sposobnost preživetja in konkurenčnost odsvojenega obrata.
LionOre combines a number of characteristics that were identified as crucial to meet these conditions: (i) extensive experience and knowledge of the nickel industry; (ii) ownership of mines and mining projects that already/will produce suitable feed for Nikkelverk, and (iii) knowledge of the Nikkelverk refinery process and output.
LionOre zajema vrsto značilnosti, ki so bile opredeljene kot temeljne za izpolnitev teh pogojev: (i) pomembne izkušnje in znanje v industriji niklja; (ii) lastništvo rudnikov in rudarski projekti, ki že proizvajajo/bodo proizvedli ustrezne osnovne surovine za rafinerijo Nikkelverk in (iii) poznavanje postopka dela in proizvodnje rafinerije Nikkelverk.
For the abovementioned reasons, the commitments submitted by the parties are sufficient to address the competition concerns raised by this concentration.
Zaradi zgoraj navedenih razlogov so zaveze, ki sta jih predložili stranki, zadostne za odpravo pomislekov glede konkurence, ki jih je povzročila ta koncentracija.
The draft decision therefore proposes declaring the notified transaction compatible with the common market and the functioning of the EEA Agreement pursuant to Article 8(2) of the Merger Regulation.
Osnutek odločbe zato predlaga, da se priglašena transakcija razglasi za združljivo s skupnim trgom in delovanjem Sporazuma EGP v skladu s členom 8(2) Uredbe o združitvah.
In the EEA, the parties currently face very limited competition from OMG (14 %), Eramet (5 %) and to a lesser extent Anglo American (2 %).
V EGP se stranki trenutno spoprijemata z zelo omejeno konkurenco družb OMG (14 %), Eramet (5 %) in v manjšem obsegu Anglo American (2 %).
LionOre also has a 20 % interest in the Botswana-based BCL smelter (nickel processing).
LionOre ima tudi 20-odstotni delež v talilnici BCL (obdelava niklja) v Bocvani.
Falconbridge is an international mining company principally active in the mining, processing, refining and sale of various nickel products, copper, cobalt, lead, zinc, aluminium and precious metals as well as sulphur products.
Falconbridge je mednarodna rudarska družba, ki je predvsem dejavna v rudarstvu, predelavi, rafiniranju in prodaji različnih proizvodov iz niklja, bakra, kobalta, svinca, cinka, aluminija in plemenitih kovin ter tudi proizvodov iz žvepla.
Falconbridge generated in 2004 worldwide sales of EUR 5610 million. Half of its sales related to copper, 26 % to nickel, 14 % to aluminium, 6 % to zinc and 2 % to cobalt.
V letu 2004 je prodaja po svetu družbe Falconbridge znašala 5610 milijonov EUR. Polovica prodaje družbe se je nanašala na baker, 26 % na nikelj, 14 % na aluminij, 6 % na cink in 2 % na kobalt.
As a result of the merger, New Inco will be able to increase unilaterally prices for high-purity nickel.
Zaradi združitve bo družba New Inco lahko enostransko zvišala cene niklja visoke čistosti.
This is particularly so in a context where the demand for high-purity nickel is strongly increasing and high-purity nickel supply is extremely tight, due to capacity constraints faced by other suppliers.
Zlasti to velja v okviru, ko se povpraševanje niklja visoke čistosti močno povečuje in je dobava niklja visoke čistosti zelo omejena zaradi omejitev zmogljivosti, s katerimi se spoprijemajo drugi dobavitelji.
It therefore constitutes a concentration within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation.
Zato ta pomeni koncentracijo v smislu člena 3(1)(b) Uredbe o združitvah.
The notified operation is therefore a concentration.
Priglašeno dejanje je zato koncentracija.

Relevant product market
Upoštevni trg proizvodov
The proposed transaction affects the supply of:
Predlagana transakcija bo vplivala na dobavo naslednjega:
merchant filling GCC;
GCC kot polnila na prodajnem trgu;
merchant coating GCC;
GCC kot premaze na prodajnem trgu;
merchant filling PCC;
PCC kot polnila na prodajnem trgu;
on-site filling PCC; and
PCC kot polnila iz proizvodnih obratov v papirnicah samih; ter
merchant coating PCC.
PCC za premaze na prodajnem trgu.
For the purposes of assessing the present transaction, the Commission has come to the conclusion that, within the production and supply of industrial minerals to the paper industry, calcium carbonates for filling applications (PCC, GCC and GCC/PCC blends) and calcium carbonates for coating applications (PCC, GCC and GCC/PCC blends) constitute two distinct relevant product markets.
Da bi ocenila to transakcijo, je Komisija sklenila, da v okviru proizvodnje in dobave industrijskih mineralov papirni industriji kalcijevi karbonati kot polnila (PCC, GCC in mešanice GCC/PCC) ter kalcijevi karbonati za premaze (PCC, GCC in mešanice GCC/PCC) sestavljajo dva različna upoštevna trga izdelkov.
The Commission concluded that for the purposes of assessing the present transaction, the relevant geographic markets are defined by identifying paper mills with similar realistic sets of supply alternatives.
Komisija je sklenila, da bo za oceno te transakcije upoštevne geografske trge opredelila tako, da bo določila papirnice s podobnimi realističnimi dobavnimi alternativami.
Production plants are considered as being realistic supply alternatives for a paper mill depending on their logistics and how far they are located from this paper mill. The distance beyond which a given mineral plant cannot be considered as a realistic supply alternative depends on the past shipments experience of each plant, on the available modes of transportation (road, rail, ship or a combination thereof) and on the type of calcium carbonate produced (PCC, GCC).
To, ali je tovarna lahko realistična dobavna alternativa za papirnico, je odvisno od tega, kakšna je njena logistika, in od tega, kako daleč od papirnice se nahaja. Razdalja, ki je prevelika, da bi tovarno mineralov lahko šteli za realistično dobavno alternativo, je odvisna od prejšnjih izkušenj posamezne tovarne s pošiljkami, od dostopnih načinov prevoza (cestni, železniški, ladijski ali kombiniran) in od vrste kalcijevega karbonata (PCC, GCC), ki ga tovarna proizvaja.
The relevant geographic markets are as follows:
Upoštevni geografski trgi so naslednji:
for merchant filling calcium carbonates, the relevant geographic market is determined by the distance between the mineral plant and the location of the customer served, which will vary between 400 km and up to a maximum of 2000 km depending on the plant, the product, the mode of transport;
za kalcijeve karbonate kot polnila na prodajnem trgu je upoštevni geografski trg določen z razdaljo med tovarno mineralov in lokacijo zadevnega kupca, ki lahko variira med 400 km in največ 2000 km, odvisno od tovarne, izdelka, načina prevoza;
for merchant coating calcium carbonates, the relevant geographic market is determined using the same methodology as for the fillers, with distances between 400 km and 3000 km; and
za kalcijeve karbonate za premaze na prodajnem trgu je upoštevni geografski trg določen z uporabo iste metodologije kot za polnila, z razdaljami med 400 km in 3000 km; ter
for customers that have the possibility of an on-site calcium carbonate solutions, the geographic scope is at least EEA wide.
za kupce, ki lahko proizvajajo kalcijev karbonat v obratu v papirnici sami, zajema geografsko področje vsaj celoten EGP.
Calcium carbonates for filling applications
Kalcijevi karbonati, ki se uporabljajo kot polnila
The Commission considers that competitive pricing of carbonates for paper filling applications hinges upon the location of each customer’s next best alternative.
Komisija meni, da je konkurenčno določanje cen karbonatov, ki se uporabljajo za polnila pri izdelavi papirja, odvisno od lokacije druge najboljše alternative za posameznega kupca.
When the merging parties have competing plants with overlapping sales areas, the merger may cause prices to rise.
Kadar imajo stranke združitve v lasti konkurenčne tovarne s prekrivajočimi se prodajnimi območji, lahko združitev povzroči dvig cen.
When one of the merging parties’ customers’ next-best alternative is one of the other merging party’s mineral plant, the merging parties will have the ability and the incentive to raise prices.
Kadar je najboljša alternativa za kupca ene od strank združitve tovarna mineralov druge stranke združitve, je to za stranki združitve priložnost in spodbuda za dvig cen.
However, when a rival plant to the merging parties is sufficiently close to the customer location, the presence of this alternative is likely to provide sufficient competitive constraint such that the price effect will not materialise.
Toda, kadar je konkurenčna tovarna strank združitve dovolj blizu lokacije kupca, bo ta alternativa verjetno zadostna konkurenčna ovira in se cene ne bodo zvišale.
For some paper mills, the competitive analysis is affected by the possibility of hosting an on-site filling PCC plant.
V nekaterih papirnicah vpliva na presojo konkurenčnosti možnost, da ta papirnica nudi prostore za proizvodni obrat za PCC.
However, in the present case the competitive impact is not materially affected by whether or not the Commission considers that on-site filling PCC is another realistic alternative that constrains the merchant supplies of filling PCC or GCC.
Toda trenutno to, ali Komisija šteje PCC kot polnila iz proizvodnih obratov v papirnici sami za še eno realistično alternativo, ki ovira trgovsko dobavo PCC ali GCC kot polnila, dejansko ne vpliva na konkurenčni učinek.
The Commission identified two broad categories of customers.
Komisija je določila dve širši kategoriji kupcev.
The first category consisted of paper mills that are currently supplied by an on-site filling PCC plant.
Prvo kategorijo sestavljajo papirnice, ki jim material trenutno dobavlja proizvodni obrat za PCC v papirnici sami.
The second category consisted of paper mills that are supplied on a merchant basis.
Drugo kategorijo sestavljajo papirnice, ki materiale dobivajo na prodajnem trgu.
