To note that, by their very nature, average minimum prices per producers group would still be open to increase following negotiation at delivery.
Pomembno je omeniti, da so povprečne najnižje cene na skupino proizvajalcev po svoji naravi takšne, da se lahko po pogajanju ob dobavi povečajo.
In the decision, the Commission finds that the practices described above constitute two separate (single and continuous) infringements of Article 81 of the Treaty.
V odločbi Komisija ugotavlja, da ravnanja, opisana zgoraj, predstavljajo dve različni kršitvi (posamezno in stalno) člena 81 Pogodbe.
All the participants in the infringements to which the decision is addressed are undertakings, associations of undertakings or associations of associations of undertakings within the meaning of Article 81 of the Treaty.
Vsi udeleženci v kršitvah, na katere je odločba naslovljena, so podjetja, združenja podjetij ali združenja združenj podjetij v smislu člena 81 Pogodbe.
Agreements and/or concerted practice which directly or indirectly fix transaction prices or share quantities are by their very object restrictive of competition.
Sporazumi in/ali usklajeno ravnanje, ki neposredno ali posredno določajo transakcijske cene ali količine deležev s svojim ciljem omejujejo konkurenco.
These conducts are specifically envisaged under Article 81(1) of the EC Treaty.
Ti postopki so izrecno predvideni na podlagi člena 81(1) Pogodbe ES.
Such conducts are capable, at least potentially, to have an impact on the trade between Spain and other Member States, as they cover the entirety of the Spanish market and relate to a product (raw tobacco) which is an intermediate product of processed tobacco, a product which is largely exported.
Takšni postopki lahko, vsaj potencialno, vplivajo na trgovanje med Španijo in drugimi državami članicami, saj pokrivajo celotni španski trg in se nanašajo na proizvod (surovi tobak), ki je vmesni proizvod predelanega tobaka, proizvoda, ki se v veliki meri izvaža.
The decision addresses the issue of the application of Council Regulation No 26 of 4 April 1962 applying certain rules on competition to production of and trade in agricultural products [8] (Regulation No 26) to the practices which are being considered.
Odločba obravnava vprašanje uporabe Uredbe Sveta št. 26 z dne 4. aprila 1962 o uporabi določenih pravil konkurence pri pridelavi in trgovini s kmetijskimi proizvodi [8] („Uredba št. 26“) pri obravnavanih ravnanjih.
It concludes that the restrictive practices at issue cannot be regarded as being ‘necessary’ for the attainment of the objectives of the Common agricultural policy and are therefore fully subject to the application of Article 81(1) of the Treaty.
Ugotavlja, da se obravnavana omejevalna ravnanja ne štejejo kot „potrebna“ za doseganje ciljev skupne kmetijske politike in se zato zanje v celoti uporablja člen 81(1) Pogodbe.
Finally, the decision concludes that neither national law nor the Ministerial practice obliged the processors to agree on the maximum delivery average price for raw tobacco or to share out quantities of tobacco to be bought by each processor.
Končno, ugotovitev odločbe je, da niti nacionalna zakonodaja niti ministrska praksa predelovalcev ne zavezujeta k dogovoru o najvišji povprečni dobavni ceni za surovi tobak ali k razdelitvi količin tobaka, ki jih bo kupil posamezni predelovalec.
Moreover, such regulatory framework did not require processors and producers to agree collectively on the ‘contract prices’ (price brackets or additional conditions) nor did it remove all possibility of competitive behaviour on their part.
Nadalje, takšen regulativni okvir od predelovalce in proizvajalcev ne zahteva, da se skupaj dogovorijo o „pogodbenih cenah“ (cenovni razredi ali dodatni pogoji) in tudi ne ukinja možnosti konkurenčnega vedenja na njihovi strani.
Consequently, the agreements and/or concerted practices between the producer representatives, on the one hand, and the processors, on the other, are caught by Article 81(1) of the Treaty.
Zato so sporazumi in/ali usklajena ravnanja med predstavniki proizvajalca na eni strani, ter predelovalci na drugi, zajeta s členom 81(1) Pogodbe.
LIABILITY OF DELTAFINA AND THE MOTHER COMPANIES OF WWTE AND AGROEXPANSIÓN
ODGOVORNOST DELTAFINE IN MATIČNIH DRUŽB WWTE IN AGROEXPANSIÓN
The decision finds that Deltafina fully participated in the processors’ cartel, in spite of not being an active processor in Spain, by playing a preponderant role in the Spanish raw tobacco market by virtue of several circumstances, among which: 1. its being the most important customer of three of the Spanish processors, 2. its being the ultimate biggest buyer of tobacco in Spain and 3. its being the subsidiary of the Universal group responsible for the European market.
Odločba ugotavlja, da je Deltafina v celoti sodelovala v kartelu predelovalcev, četudi ni dejavni predelovalec v Španiji, saj je igrala odločilno vlogo na španskem trgu surovega tobaka zaradi številnih okoliščin, med njimi: 1. je bila najpomembnejša stranka treh španskih predelovalcev, 2. je bila končni največji kupec tobaka v Španiji, in 3. je bila hčerinska družba skupine Universal, odgovorne za evropski trg.
The decision also finds that Dimon (for Agroexpansión) and SCC, TCLT and SCTC (for WWTE) exercised decisive influence on their subsidiaries during the period considered and should therefore be held jointly and severally liable for their subsidiary’s conduct.
Odločba tudi ugotavlja, da so Dimon (za Agroexpansión) in SCC, TCLT in SCTC (za WWTE) med obravnavanim obdobjem odločilno vplivali na svoje hčerinske družbe in so zato solidarno odgovorni za postopke hčerinskih družb.
In assessing the gravity of the infringements, account must be taken of the fact that the production of raw tobacco in Spain accounts for 12 % of the Community production.
Pri oceni resnosti kršitev je treba upoštevati dejstvo, da pridelava surovega tobaka v Španiji predstavlja 12 % pridelave Skupnosti.
The size of the market is rather small (in 2001 the value of tobacco bought in Spain was around EUR 25 million) and quite concentrated in one region of Spain: Extremadura.
Velikost trga je razmeroma majhna (leta 2001 je bila vrednost tobaka, kupljenega v Španiji okoli 25 milijonov EUR) in precej skoncentrirana na eno regijo Španije: Extremaduro.
However, the nature of the infringements is considered as very serious, since it concerns the fixing of the prices of the varieties of raw tobacco in Spain and (as far as the processors are concerned) the sharing out of quantities.
Vendar, narava kršitev se obravnava kot zelo resna, saj zadeva določanje cen za sorte surovega tobaka v Španiji in (kar zadeva predelovalce) razdelitev količin.
Although the Commission does not possess conclusive evidence of the actual effects of the producers’ and processors’ infringements on the market; it can be said that at least since 1998, the processors’ cartel was fully implemented and enforced and was liable to have a real impact on the market.
Čeprav Komisija nima trdnih dokazov o dejanskih posledicah kršitev proizvajalcev in predelovalcev za trg; se lahko domneva, da je bil kartel predelovalcev vsaj od leta 1998 popolno izveden in izvršen ter je lahko znatno vplival na trg.
On the basis of the considerations above, the Commission concludes that both infringements must be qualified as very serious.
Na podlagi gornjih ugotovitev Komisija ugotavlja, da se obe kršitvi označita kot zelo resni.
The Commission however takes account of the relatively limited size of the market when setting the starting amount of the fines.
Vendar Komisija pri določitvi začetnih zneskov glob upošteva relativno omejeno velikost trga.
Individual weight and deterrence
Posamezno breme in odvračanje
As far as the processors’ cartel (to include Deltafina) is concerned, the Commission considers that fines should be scaled down in consideration of the contribution to the illegal conduct of and the market position enjoyed by each party involved.
Kar zadeva kartel predelovalcev (vključno z Deltafino), Komisija meni, da je treba ob upoštevanju sodelovanja pri nezakonitem ravnanju in položaja na trgu, ki ga uživa vsaka od vpletenih strank, globe ustrezno zmanjšati.
Bearing this in mind, the Commission concludes that Deltafina should receive the highest starting amount for its prominent market position as explained above under 8.
Ob upoštevanju tega je Komisija sklenila, da se za Deltafino zaradi njenega pomembnega tržnega položaja, kakor je razloženo pod točko 8, določi najvišji začetni znesek.
The contribution to the illegal conduct by the Spanish processors can be broadly taken as having been similar.
Sodelovanje španskih predelovalcev pri nezakonitem ravnanju se lahko na splošno obravnava kot podobno.
The starting amounts should however take into account the different size and the market shares of each processor involved.
Začetni zneski morajo vseeno upoštevati različne velikosti in tržne deleže vseh vpletenih predelovalcev.
With a market share of around 67 % of the market for the purchase of Spanish raw tobacco, Cetarsa is by far the leading Spanish first processor and should be placed in a category of its own and receive the highest starting amount of the fine.
S tržnim deležem okoli 67 % trga za nakup španskega surovega tobaka, je Cetarsa vodilni španski predelovalec in se zato uvrsti v posebno kategorijo ter se mu naloži najvišji začetni znesek globe.
Agroexpansión and WWTE have both market shares of approximately 15 % each and should receive the same starting amount of fine.
Agroexpansión in WWTE imata oba tržne deleže okoli 15 % vsak in se jima naloži enak začetni znesek globe.
Finally, Taes, by far the smallest processor involved, with a market share of only 1,6 % should receive the lowest starting amount.
Končno, Taes je najmanjši vpleteni predelovalec, s tržnim deležem le 1,6 % in se mu naloži najnižji začetni znesek.
As Agroexpansión and WWTE are part of large groups that are also addressees of the Decision, a multiplying factor is applied to their fines to ensure sufficient deterrence of 2 and 11/2 respectively.
Agroexpansión in WWTE sta del večjih skupin, ki so tudi naslovniki odločbe, zato se za njune globe uporablja faktor množenja, da bi zagotovili zadostno svarilo, 2 in 11/2 v tem zaporedju.
Concerning the producer representatives’ behaviour, the Decision concludes that only a symbolic fine is appropriate for the following reasons.
V zvezi z vedenjem predstavnikov proizvajalcev odločba ugotavlja, da je zaradi naslednjih razlogov primerna le simbolična globa.
Although the applicable national rules did not require the producer representatives and the processors to agree jointly on the price brackets and the additional conditions, the standard ‘cultivation contracts’ negotiated between 1995 and 1998 mentioned that all the producer representatives would negotiate jointly with each individual processor the price schedules and the additional conditions relating to the sale of tobacco.
Četudi nacionalna pravila, ki so v rabi, niso zahtevala, da se predstavniki proizvajalca in predelovalci skupno dogovorijo o cenovnih razredih in dodatnih pogojih, so standardne „pogodbe o pridelovanju“, dogovorjene med leti 1995 in 1998, omenjale skupno pogajanje vseh predstavnikov proizvajalca z vsakim posameznim predelovalcem za specifikacijo cen in za dodatne pogoje v zvezi s prodajo tobaka.
In 1999 the Agriculture Ministry even approved the price schedules that had already been negotiated jointly by all the producer representatives and the four processors.
Leta 1999 je Kmetijsko ministrstvo celo odobrilo specifikacijo cen, o katerih so se predstavniki proizvajalca in štirje predelovalci že skupno pogodili.
These schedules were annexed to the ‘standard’ contract published in the Official Gazette that year.
Ta specifikacija je bila priložena k „standardni“ pogodbi, tistega leta objavljeni v uradnem listu.
Lastly, in 2000 and 2001 the Agriculture Ministry invited the representatives of the two sectors to a number of meetings — some of which were held at the Ministry itself — with a view to agreeing on the price schedules.
Nazadnje, leta 2000 in 2001 je Kmetijsko ministrstvo povabilo predstavnike obeh sektorjev na številna srečanja – nekatera srečanja so potekala na Ministrstvu – da bi se dogovorili o specifikaciji cen.
In so doing, the Ministry did at least encourage the producers to press ahead with their joint negotiations on those schedules.
S tem je Ministrstvo vsaj spodbudilo proizvajalce, da pospešijo skupna pogajanja glede te specifikacije.
On this basis, the Decision accepts that the legal framework surrounding the collective negotiation of standard agreements could engender a considerable degree of uncertainty as to the legality of the conduct of the producers.
Na tej podlagi odločba sprejema, da bi lahko pravni okvir, ki spremlja skupno pogajanje standardnih sporazumov, spodbudil znatno stopnjo negotovosti glede zakonitosti ravnanja proizvajalcev.
Moreover, the existence and the results of the negotiations on standard contracts were generally well in the public domain and no authority ever questioned their compatibility with either Community or Spanish law before these proceedings started.
Nadalje, obstoj in rezultati pogajanj o standardnih pogodbah so bili ponavadi javni in noben organ pred začetkom teh postopkov nikoli ni dvomil v njihovo združljivost bodisi z zakonodajo Skupnosti bodisi s špansko zakonodajo.
In view of the above, the starting amount of the fines in this case is set as follows:
Zaradi zgoraj navedenega je začetni znesek glob v tem primeru določen, kot sledi:
CCAE EUR 1000.
CCAE 1000 EUR
The restrictive practice involving the processors and Deltafina lasted more than five years and four months.
Omejevalno ravnanje predelovalcev in Deltafine je trajalo več kot pet let in štiri mesece.
Therefore, the fines of each producer should be increased by 50 %.
Zato se višina glob za vsakega proizvajalca poviša za 50 %.
The following basic amounts of the fines are therefore witheld:
Zato se naslednji osnovni zneski glob zadržijo:
The documents in the Commission’s file actually prove that Deltafina took the lead in designing, implementing, enforcing and arbitrating the agreements on (maximum) average delivery prices and quantities concluded between the processors after 1996.
Dokumenti v spisu Komisije dejansko dokazujejo, da je Deltafina vodila oblikovanje, izvajanje, uveljavljanje in arbitražo sporazumov o (najvišjih) povprečnih dobavnih cenah in količinah, sklenjenih med predelovalci po letu 1996.
It also acted as the repository of the processors’ anticompetitive agreements.
Delovala je tudi kot zaupnik za protikonkurenčne sporazume predelovalcev.
For these reasons the basic amount of the fine imposed on Deltafina should be increased by 50 %.
Zaradi tega se osnovni znesek globe, naložene Deltafini, zviša za 50 %.
The Spanish regulatory context in which the restrictive practices and agreements took place applies as an attenuating circumstance for the processors in respect of their agreement on price brackets and additional conditions which preceded the public negotiation of the standard cultivation contract with the producers’ representatives.
V španskem okviru pravne ureditve, v katerem se je odvijalo omejevalno ravnanje in sporazumi, se uporablja olajševalna okoliščina za predelovalce glede njihovega sporazuma o cenovnih razredih in dodatnih pogojih, dogovorjenim pred javnim pogajanjem o standardni pogodbi o pridelovanju s predstavniki proizvajalcev.
In respect of their secret agreement on (maximum) average delivery prices and share-out of quantities, the conduct of the processors went beyond the scope of the relevant legal framework of the public negotiations and agreements with the producers’ representatives.
Glede njihovega tajnega sporazuma o (najvišjih) povprečnih dobavnih cenah in razdelitvi količin, je ravnanje predelovalcev preseglo področje delovanja zadevnega pravnega okvira za javna pogajanja in sporazume s predstavniki proizvajalcev.
However, the Commission considers that the public negotiations determined to some extent the material framework for the conduct of the processors and therefore is to be considered as an attenuating circumstance for the processors.
Vendar Komisija meni, da so javna pogajanja v določeni meri določala materialni okvir za ravnanje predelovalcev in se zato obravnavajo kot olajševalna okoliščina za predelovalce.
For these reasons, the overall attenuating effect of the circumstances discussed above is to be taken, as far as processors’ conduct is concerned, as leading to a reduction of 40 % of the basic amount of the fines which would be otherwise applicable to the processors (to include Deltafina).
Zaradi tega celotni olajševalni vpliv zgoraj omenjenih okoliščin, kar zadeva ravnanje predelovalcev, za 40 % zmanjša osnovni znesek glob, ki se bi drugače uporabljale za predelovalce (vključno z Deltafino).
The amount of the fines after taking into consideration the aggravating and the attenuating circumstances are as follows:
Zneski glob po upoštevanju oteževalnih in olajševalnih okoliščin so sledeči:
Article 23(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 provides that for each undertaking and association of undertakings participating in the infringement the fine shall not exceed 10 % of its total turnover in the preceding business year.
Člen 23(2) Uredbe (ES) št. 1/2003 predvideva, da za vsako podjetje in podjetniško združenje, udeleženo v kršitvi, globa ne presega 10 % skupnega prometa v predhodnem poslovnem letu.
In the present case SCC, SCTC, TCLT and Dimon, in their capacity of parent companies of WWTE and Agroexpansión, are jointly liable for the fines imposed on their subsidiaries and their worldwide turnover must be taken into account in order to determine the 10 % limit.
SCC, SCTC, TCLT in Dimon so kot matične družbe WWTE-ja in Agroexpansióna skupaj odgovorne za globe, naložene njihovim hčerinskim družbam, zato se za določitev 10 % meje upošteva njihov promet na svetovnem trgu.
As Cetarsa’s 2003 annual turnover amounted to EUR 48,42 million, the fine imposed on it should be reduced to EUR 4,842 million. The fines imposed on all the other addressees do not need any adjustment in this respect
Ker je letni promet Cetarse leta 2003 znašal 48,42 milijonov EUR, se naložena globa zmanjša na 4,842 milijonov EUR. Globe, naložene vsem ostalim naslovnikom, v zvezi s tem ni potrebno prilagoditi.
Application of the 1996 Leniency Notice
Uporaba Uredbe o kronskih pričah iz leta 1996
Both processors and producer representatives have applied for leniency under the terms of the Commission notice on the non-imposition of fines in cartel cases of 1996 at different stages of the investigation.
Tako predelovalci in predstavniki proizvajalca so na različnih stopnjah preiskave zaprosili za kronske priče pod pogoji obvestila Komisije o nenalaganju glob v primeru kartelov iz leta 1996.
In consideration of the information provided to the Commission but given the fact that they contested the facts in their replies to the Statement of objections, Cetarsa and WWTE are granted a 25 % reduction of the fine.
Ob upoštevanju informacij, predloženih Komisiji, vendar glede na dejstvo, da sta izpodbijali dejstva v svojih odgovorih na obvestilo o nasprotovanju, se Cetarsi in WWTE-ju globa zmanjša za 25 %.
In consideration of the information provided to the Commission but given the fact that it contested the facts and the secret nature of the processors’ cartel in its reply to the Statement of objections, Agroexpansión is granted a 20 % reduction of the fine.
Ob upoštevanju informacij, predloženih Komisiji, vendar glede na dejstvo, da je izpodbijal dejstva in tajno naravo kartela predelovalcev v svojem odgovoru na obvestilo o nasprotovanju, se Agroexpansiónu globa zmanjša za 20 %.
Finally, in view of the limited value of its cooperation with the Commission throughout the procedure, Deltafina is granted a 10 % reduction of the fine.
Končno, zaradi omejenega sodelovanja s Komisijo med postopkom, se Deltafini globa zmanjša za 10 %.
By way of conclusion the amounts of the fines to be imposed pursuant to Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 are set as follows:
Končni zneski glob, ki se skladno s členom 23 Uredbe (ES) št. 1/2003 naložijo, se določijo kot sledi:
(SCC, SCTC and TCLT to be jointly and severally liable);
(SCC, SCTC in TCLT so solidarno odgovorni)
(Dimon to be jointly and severally liable);
(Dimon je solidarno odgovoren)

Cetarsa, Agroexpansión, WWTE, Taes and Deltafina have claimed the benefits of the 1996 Leniency Notice before the issue of the Statement of Objections and have provided the Commission with information mainly as regards the market functioning, the applicant’s restrictive activities and the context of the facts at issue.
Cetarsa, Agroexpansión, WWTE, Taes in Deltafina so uveljavljali ugodnosti iz Uredbe o kronskih pričah iz leta 1996 pred izdajo obvestila o nenasprotovanju in so Komisiji predložili večinoma informacije glede delovanja trga, omejevalne dejavnosti prosilcev in vsebine obravnavanih dejstev.
In consideration of its particularly valuable cooperation during the procedure (especially insofar as the involvement of Deltafina is concerned) and of the fact that it never contested the facts as set out in the Statement of Objections, Taes should be granted a 40 % reduction of the fine that would have been imposed if it had not cooperated with the Commission in accordance with the first and second indent of Section D(2) of the 1996 Leniency Notice.
Ob upoštevanju pomembnega prispevka pri sodelovanju med postopkom (predvsem v zvezi z vpletenostjo Deltafine) in da ni nikoli nasprotoval dejstvom, določenim v obvestilu o nasprotovanju, se Taesu odobri 40 % zmanjšanje globe, ki mu bi bila naložena, če ne bi sodeloval s Komisijo v skladu s prvo in drugo alinejo oddelka D(2) Uredbe o kronskih pričah iz leta 1996.
The Decision therefore imposes a symbolic fine of EUR 1000 on each producer representative.
Odločba zato nalaga simbolično globo 1000 EUR vsakemu predstavniku proizvajalca.
In view of the application of a symbolic fine to producer representatives, the application to them of other criteria for setting fines becomes irrelevant.
Zaradi uporabe simbolične globe za predstavnike proizvajalca, postane uporaba drugih meril za določitev glob nepomembna.
