As regards the storage/flexibility market, the main effect of the proposed Commitments emanates from the divestiture of the storage facility in Lille Torup, which will have a positive impact on competition with respect to storage/flexibility in Denmark.
Glede trga za skladiščenje/prilagodljivost izhaja glavni učinek predlaganih obveznosti iz opustitve skladišča v Lille Torupu, ki bo imel pozitiven vpliv na konkurenco glede skladiščenja/prilagodljivosti na Danskem.
As regards the gas wholesale and gas retail markets, the Decision concludes that the gas release programme offered by DONG, in combination with the storage divestiture, is sufficient to remove all competition concerns identified by the Commission as relating to these markets.
V Odločbi se glede grosističnih in maloprodajnih trgov zemeljskega plina ugotavlja, da je program sprostitve plina, ki ga je ponudil DONG v povezavi z opustitvijo skladiščenja, bistven za odpravo vseh pomislekov glede konkurence, ki jih je v zvezi s temi trgi izrazila Komisija.
Consequently, the Commission declares the notified transaction compatible with the common market and the EEA Agreement, in accordance with Articles 2(2) and Article 8(2) of the Merger Regulation, and Article 57 of the EEA Agreement.
Posledično Komisija izjavlja, da je priglašena transakcija združljiva s skupnim trgom in Sporazumom EGP, v skladu s členom 2(2) in členom 8(2) Uredbe o združitvah in členom 57 Sporazuma EGP.
DONG is the Danish state-owned gas incumbent active in exploration, production, offshore transport and sale of oil and natural gas, as well as storage and distribution of natural gas.
DONG je nekdanji danski monopolist na področju zemeljskega plina v državni lasti, ki je dejaven pri črpanju, proizvodnji, offshore prevozu ter prodaji nafte in zemeljskega plina, skladiščenju in distribuciji zemeljskega plina.
It also has minor activities related to wind electricity generation and supply of electricity and heat.
DONG nadalje v manjšem obsegu zajema dejavnosti, povezane s proizvajanjem vetrne energije in dobavo električne energije ter dejavnosti, povezane z ogrevanjem.
They are both active in production and trading of electricity (financial and physical) on the wholesale market and in production of district heating.
Oba sta dejavna pri proizvodnji in trgovanju z električno energijo (finančno in fizično) na grosističnem trgu ter pri proizvodnji za daljinsko ogrevanje.
Since its acquisition of the (East Danish) electricity retailer Nesa in 2004, Elsam also has substantial activities in electricity retailing to household and business customers.
Od nakupa (vzhodno-danske) maloprodajne elektroenergetske družbe Nesa leta 2004 je imel Elsam nadalje znatne dejavnosti pri maloprodaji električne energije gospodinjstvom in poslovnim odjemalcem.
Elsam and E2 have, on the one hand, a core ownership of local authorities, and on the other hand, substantial shareholdings by DONG and Vattenfall (in Elsam) and by Nesa and KE (in E2).
Lokalni organi imajo, po eni strani, v podjetjih Elsam in E2 glavno lastništvo in, po drugi strani, imata DONG in Vattenfall znatne deleže v podjetju Elsam, podjetji Nesa in KE pa v podjetju E2.
KE and FE supply household and business customers with electricity in the Copenhagen area.
KE in FE gospodinjstvom in poslovnim odjemalcem dobavljata električno energijo na območju Copenhagena.
They are currently owned by the City of Copenhagen and the City of Frederiksberg, respectively.
Trenutno sta v lasti mesta Copenhagen oziroma mesta Frederiksberg.
THE OPERATION AND THE CONCENTRATION
DELOVANJE IN KONCENTRACIJA
This part of the Decision describes the proposed operation, constituting a concentration, by which DONG acquires control of Elsam, E2, KE and FE, less certain generation assets of Elsam and E2 that will be attributed to Vattenfall.
V tem delu Odločbe je opisano predlagano povezovanje, ki pomeni koncentracijo, s katero DONG, ne glede na manj zanesljive proizvodne zmogljivosti Elsam in E2, ki so pripisane podjetju Vattenfall, pridobi nadzor nad Elsam, E2, KE in FE.
The asset acquisition by Vattenfall constitutes a separate concentration.
Pridobitev sredstev s strani Vattenfalla pomeni ločeno koncentracijo.
LEGAL AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
PRAVNI IN REGULATIVNI OKVIR
The Decision discusses the applicable regulatory framework for gas and electricity.
V Odločbi je obravnavan veljavni regulativni okvir za zemeljski plin in električno energijo.
The Danish natural gas market was first opened to competition for the largest customers on 1 July 2000 with all customers being able to choose supplier since 2004.
Danski trg za zemeljski plin je bil 1. julija 2000 sprva odprt za konkurenco za največje odjemalce, od leta 2004 pa lahko vsi odjemalci prosto izberejo svojega dobavitelja.
The onshore gas transmission network and the transmission system operator were fully unbundled in 2004 and is today owned and operated by Energinet.dk, an independent public corporation owned by the Danish state.
Kopensko prenosno omrežje zemeljskega plina in upravljavec prenosnega omrežja sta bila leta 2004 popolnoma odprta in sta danes v lasti Energinet.dk, ki je neodvisno javno podjetje v lasti danske države in hkrati upravljavec.
The onshore transmission network operations are subject to regulated third party access (TPA).
Delovanje kopenskega prenosnega omrežja je predmet urejenega dostopa tretje stranke (DTP).
Storages and the offshore pipelines connecting the fields in the Danish part of the North Sea with mainland Denmark are both owned by DONG.
Skladišča in podvodni plinovodi, ki povezujejo področja na danskem delu Severnega morja s celinskim delom Danske, so v lasti DONG.
Access to these infrastructures is obtained by negotiated TPA.
Dostop do teh infrastruktur se doseže s pogajanji DTP.
TPA rules are supervised by the Danish Energy Regulatory Authority (DERA), an independent supervisory body in the energy sector.
Pravila DTP nadzoruje danski organ za regulacijo energije (Danish Energy Regulatory Authority – DERA), ki je neodvisni nadzorni organ v energetskem sektorju.
RELEVANT MARKETS
UPOŠTEVNI TRGI
NATURAL GAS
ZEMELJSKI PLIN
With respect to the relevant product markets in the field of gas, the Commission’s market investigation focused on the definition of the markets for gas storage/flexibility, gas wholesale and gas supply.
Raziskava trga v zvezi z upoštevnimi proizvodnimi trgi na področju zemeljskega plina, ki jo je izvedla Komisija, je bila osredotočena na opredelitev trgov za skladiščenje zemeljskega plina/prilagodljivost oskrbe z njim, grosistično prodajo in dobavo zemeljskega plina.
Market for gas storage and gas flexibility
Trg za skladiščenje zemeljskega plina in prilagodljivost oskrbe z njim
With regard to gas storage and/or other gas flexibility tools, the exact product market definition of such a market is left open in the Decision.
Glede instrumentov za skladiščenje zemeljskega plina in/ali drugih instrumentov za prilagodljivost oskrbe z njim je natančna opredelitev proizvodnega trga v zvezi s takim trgom v Odločbi ostala odprta.
The parties proposed a product market for gas flexibility including storage in dedicated storage facilities, changes in production, international trade, line-pack, switching to other fuels, interruptible contracts and market hubs with forward markets.
Stranke so predlagale proizvodni trg za prilagodljivost oskrbe z zemeljskim plinom, vključno s skladiščenjem v za to namenjenih skladiščih, spremembami v proizvodnji, mednarodno trgovino, mrežnimi rezervami (line-pack), preusmeritvijo na druga goriva, prekinljivimi pogodbami in tržnimi vozlišči pri zemeljskem plinu s terminskimi trgi.
According to the Commission, these different flexibility tools can be divided into five groups, namely:
Po mnenju Komisije se lahko ti drugačni instrumenti za prilagodljivost delijo na pet skupin, namreč:
storage in dedicated storage facilities,
skladiščenje v za to namenjenih skladiščih,
interruptibility or other modulation of customers’ demand, e.g. of central CHPs,
prekinljivost ali drugo prilagajanje potreb odjemalcev, npr. centralnih SPTE,
flexible supply contracts (irrespective of whether they are based on imports, domestic production or secondary domestic supply contracts),
prilagodljive dobavne pogodbe (ne glede na to, ali temeljijo na uvozih, domači proizvodnji ali sekundarnih domačih dobavnih pogodbah),
flexible trading in gas on hubs or bilaterally (irrespective of whether forward looking or ad hoc),
prilagodljivo trgovanje na tržnih vozliščih pri zemeljskem plinu ali dvostransko (ne glede na to, ali je usmerjeno v prihodnost ali je le začasno),
line-pack, i.e. storage in transport pipelines by increasing or decreasing the gas pressure in those pipelines.
Line-pack, tj. skladiščenje v plinovodih za prevoz s povečanjem ali zmanjšanjem pritiska plina v teh plinovodih.
The Commission’s market investigation showed that, for Denmark, none of the four flexibility alternatives to storage in dedicated storage facilities mentioned above are considered as fully viable or sufficiently developed flexibility alternatives.
Raziskava trga, ki jo je izvedla Komisija, je pokazala, da za Dansko ni upoštevana nobena od štirih možnosti prilagodljivosti za skladiščenje v za to namenjenih skladiščih, omenjenih zgoraj, kot popolnoma uspešnih ali zadostno razvitih možnosti prilagodljivosti.
However, the Commission considers that the question of the relevant product market (either flexibility or storage) can remain open.
Vendar Komisija meni, da vprašanje upoštevnega proizvodnega trga (bodisi trga za prilagodljivost ali za skladiščenje) lahko ostane odprto.
Market for gas wholesale supplies
Trg za grosistično dobavo zemeljskega plina
As regards gas wholesale supplies for Denmark, the Decision concludes that there exists a market for wholesale supplies of gas for Denmark, which comprises all sales:
Glede grosistične dobave zemeljskega plina za Dansko se v Odločbi ugotavlja, da obstaja trg za grosistično dobavo zemeljskega plina za Dansko, ki zajema:
irrespective of whether via the GTF, supply contracts or other agreements,
vse prodaje, ne glede na to, ali prek naprave za prenos zemeljskega plina (GTF), dobavnih pogodb ali drugih sporazumov,
by physical or contractual importers [2], re-importers (in case of turnaround gas), producers (if applicable in the future) and traders,to other traders (such as supply companies) or to central CHPs (the latter to the extent that they take over at least some of the services regularly provided by a supplier for delivery at the site or intend to resell the gas),
konkretne ali pogodbene uvoze uvoznikov [2], ponovnih uvoznikov (v primeru začasno izvoženega zemeljskega plina), proizvajalcev (po potrebi v prihodnosti) in trgovcev,druge trgovce (kot so podjetja za dobavo) ali centralne SPTE (le v tolikšni meri, da slednje prevzamejo vsaj nekatere storitve, ki jih redno zagotavlja dobavitelj za dostavo na določeno mesto ali ki nameravajo nadalje prodajati zemeljski plin),
which satisfy the needs of these customers to have access to wholesale gas in Denmark.
v kolikor zadovoljujejo potrebe teh odjemalcev, da imajo dostop do grosistične prodaje zemeljskega plina na Danskem.
The Commission’s market investigation provided strong indications for the existence of a separate market for wholesale supplies of natural gas.
Raziskava trga, ki jo je izvedla Komisija, močno nakazuje obstoj ločenega trga za grosistično dobavo zemeljskega plina.
In its reply to the Article 6(1)(c) decision, DONG recognised ‘the existence of gas sales and trading at the wholesale level’ and did not contest this or the above product market definition relating to the wholesale market in their reply to the Statement of Objections.
DONG je v svojem odgovoru na člen 6(1)(c) Odločbe priznal „obstoj prodaje zemeljskega plina in trgovanja na grosistični ravni“ in v svojem odgovoru na Obvestilo o nasprotovanju temu ali zgornji opredelitvi trga v zvezi z grosističnim trgom ni nasprotoval.
The proposed transaction also has an impact on wholesale in Sweden.
Predlagana transakcija je imela vpliv tudi na grosistično prodajo na Švedskem.
The Decision concludes that there exists a separate market for wholesale supplies of gas destined for consumption in Sweden.
V Odločbi se ugotavlja, da obstaja ločeni trg za grosistično dobavo zemeljskega plina, ki je namenjen porabi na Švedskem.
The reasons are that the market situation and conditions for wholesale supplies in Sweden are different from those in Denmark.
Razlogi za to so, da se stanje trga in pogoji za grosistično dobavo na Švedskem razlikujejo od teh na Danskem.
Market for supply of natural gas to central CHP plants
Trg za dobavo zemeljskega plina centralnim SPTE
The Decision considers that the supply of natural gas to central CHP plants (i.e. large combined heat and power plants) constitutes a separate market because supply to central CHPs is distinct from the wholesale market.
V Odločbi se meni, da dobava zemeljskega plina centralnim elektrarnam SPTE (tj. velikim elektrarnam za sočasno proizvodnjo toplote in električne energije) pomeni ločeni trg, ker je dobava centralnim SPTE ločena od grosističnega trga.
However, a central CHP power producer can enter the wholesale market as a buyer or a seller and entry barriers for wholesalers wanting to supply some segments of retail supply to central CHPs are surmountable.
Vendar lahko centralni proizvajalec energije SPTE vstopi na grosistični trg kot kupec ali prodajalec, vstopne ovire pa so za grosiste, ki želijo dobavljati nekatere segmente maloprodajne dobave centralnim SPTE, obvladljive.
Supply to central CHPs is also distinct from other retail supply markets, due to higher flexibility and level of consumption, different demand patterns, prices and contract types, different regulation and the fact that central CHPs are able to directly participate on the wholesale market.
Dobava centralnim SPTE se od drugih trgov za maloprodajno dobavo razlikuje tudi zaradi večje prilagodljivosti in višje porabe, drugačne strukture potreb, cen in vrste pogodb, drugačne ureditve in dejstva, da so lahko centralne SPTE neposredno udeležene na grosističnem trgu.
Market(s) for supply of gas to decentral CHPs and to large industrial customers
Trg(-i) za dobavo zemeljskega plina decentraliziranim SPTE in velikim industrijskim odjemalcem
The Decision considers that the supply of natural gas to decentral CHPs (i.e. small combined heat and power plants) and the supply of natural gas to large industrial customers constitute one or two different product markets.
V Odločbi se meni, da dobava zemeljskega plina decentraliziranim SPTE (tj. majhnim elektrarnam za sočasno proizvodnjo toplote in električne energije) in dobava zemeljskega plina velikim industrijskim odjemalcem pomeni enega ali dveh različnih proizvodnih trgov.
Small business customers do not belong to this product market because of differences in inter alia prices, margins, marketing and distribution channels storage costs, market structure, switching rates and metering requirements.
Majhni poslovni odjemalci ne pripadajo k temu proizvodnemu trgu, med drugim zaradi razlik v cenah, maržah, tržnih in distribucijskih poteh, stroških skladiščenja, strukturi trga, stopnji preusmeritve in zahtevah glede porabe z vnaprejšnjim odmerkom.
The Decision considers that supply to large industrial customers and decentralised CHPs have some similarities (level of gas consumption, types of gas contracts) but also some differences (regularity of demand, different ownership structure, customer loyalty and switching rates).
V Odločbi se meni, da ima dobava velikim industrijskim odjemalcem in decentraliziranim SPTE nekaj podobnosti (raven porabe zemeljskega plina, vrste pogodb v zvezi z zemeljskim plinom), vendar tudi nekaj razlik (rednost potrebe, različna lastniška struktura, stopnje zvestobe strank in preusmeritve).
Market(s) for supplies of gas to households and small businesses
Trg(-i) za dobavo zemeljskega plina gospodinjstvom in majhnim poslovnim odjemalcem
The Decision considers that there exist(s) one or two separate market(s) for non-metered customers, i.e. customers with an annual consumption below 300000 m3.
V Odločbi se meni, da obstaja(-ta) eden ali dva ločena trga za odjemalce s porabo brez vnaprejšnjega odmerka, tj. odjemalce z letno porabo pod 300000 m3.
Sales to small business customers below 300000 m3 and household customers may thereby either belongs to the same or to different product markets.
Prodaja majhnim poslovnim odjemalcem pod 300000 m3 in gospodinjstvom tako lahko pripada bodisi istim ali različnim proizvodnim trgom.
Demand and supply conditions between these two types of customers in Denmark show many similarities (higher gas prices, lower propensity to switch supplier, customer portfolio management tools requirements, standardised general offers, and importance of brand image, market structure, storage costs and high entry barriers).
Povpraševanje in pogoji dobave med tema dvema vrstama odjemalcev na Danskem kažejo na veliko podobnosti (višje cene zemeljskega plina, nižja usmerjenost k zamenjavi dobaviteljev, zahteve instrumentov za upravljanje portfelja odjemalcev, standardizirane splošne ponudbe ter pomembnost blagovne znamke, strukture trga, stroškov skladiščenja in večjih vstopnih ovir).
There are also a number of relevant differences (average level of consumption, prices, costs and margins and different marketing strategies).
Obstajajo tudi številne pomembne razlike (povprečna raven porabe, cene, stroški in marže ter različne strategije trženja).
The competitive assessment does not differ significantly between these two customer groups and whether or not supplies to households and supplies to small business customers form different segments of the same relevant market or two different relevant markets are therefore left open.
Presoja konkurenčnosti se med tema dvema skupinama odjemalcev bistveno ne razlikuje in zato ostaja vprašanje, ali dobava gospodinjstvom ter majhnim poslovnim odjemalcem oblikuje različne segmente istega upoštevnega trga ali dveh različnih upoštevnih trgov, odprto.
DONG submitted that the relevant geographic market for gas flexibility tools is wider than Denmark and also embraces Sweden, northern Germany and the Netherlands.
DONG meni, da upoštevni geografski trg za instrumente za prilagodljivost oskrbe z zemeljskim plinom presega Dansko in zajema tudi Švedsko, severno Nemčijo in Nizozemsko.
However, the results of the market investigation showed that the geographic market for storage (or flexibility) is, irrespective of the scope of the relevant product market, limited to Denmark.
Vendar so rezultati raziskave trga pokazali, da je bil geografski trg za skladiščenje (ali prilagodljivost), ne glede na obseg upoštevnega proizvodnega trga, omejen na Dansko.
Main reasons for this conclusion are:
Glavni razlogi za to sklepno ugotovitev so:
most flexibility tools are available only on a national level,
več instrumentov za prilagodljivost je na voljo le na nacionalni ravni,
the parties themselves use local storage facilities for their operations in the Netherlands and Germany.
stranke same uporabljajo za svoje poslovanje lokalna skladišča na Nizozemskem in v Nemčiji.
As regards the Swedish market for storage/other flexibility tools, the Decision concludes that the market is either Swedish in scope or Danish-Swedish.
Glede švedskega trga za skladiščenje/drugih instrumentov za prilagodljivost se v Odločbi ugotavlja, da trg ni po obsegu niti švedski niti dansko-švedski.
DONG submitted that the relevant geographic market for gas wholesale supplies is wider than Denmark (or Denmark and Sweden) and also embraces at least Germany.
DONG meni, da upoštevni geografski trg za grosistično dobavo zemeljskega plina presega Dansko (ali Dansko in Švedsko) in zajema tudi najmanj Nemčijo.
The market investigation provides strong indications that the market for wholesale supplies is limited to Denmark.
Raziskava trga močno nakazuje, da je trg za grosistično dobavo omejen na Dansko.
The Decision concludes that Sweden is not part of the same geographical market as Denmark; it forms a separate market which is Swedish or Danish-Swedish in scope since the wholesale supplies in Sweden does not exercise a strong competitive constraint on wholesale supplies in Denmark.
V Odločbi se ugotavlja, da Švedska ni del istega geografskega trga kot Danska; Švedska oblikuje ločen trg, ki je po obsegu švedski ali dansko-švedski, ker trg za grosistično dobavo na Švedskem ne izvaja močnega konkurenčnega pritiska na trg za grosistično dobavo na Danskem.
Similarly, it is concluded that Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom are not part of the same geographic market as Denmark.
Podobno se ugotavlja, da Nemčija, Nizozemska in Združeno kraljestvo niso del istega geografskega trga kot je Danska.
The reasons are:
Razlogi so:
all gas consumed in Denmark is Danish (offshore) gas,
Ves zemeljski plin, ki se porabi na Danskem, je danski (podvodni) zemeljski plin.
in 2003-05, (commercial) imports represented only less than 12 % of total Danish consumption,
Med leti 2003 in 2005 so (komercialni) uvozi predstavljali le manj kot 12 % celotne porabe na Danskem.
as regards transactions that generally do not affect wholesale gas needs in Denmark (i.e. transactions on the Benelux, United Kingdom or Emden hubs), prices appear to have an insufficient impact on wholesale prices in Denmark,
Glede transakcij, ki običajno ne vplivajo na potrebe po grosistični prodaji zemeljskega plina na Danskem (tj. transakcije na tržnih vozliščih v Beneluxu, Združenem kraljestvu ali v Emdenu), se zdi, da so imele cene nezadosten vpliv na grosistične cene na Danskem.
the different wholesale players in the different countries mentioned above have considerable different market shares in these countries,
Različni grosisti imajo v različnih zgoraj omenjenih državah precej različne tržne deleže v teh državah.
the market investigation shows that Danish gas customers have little knowledge about wholesale prices in Germany, and import of gas is considered a weak substitute to purchasing gas on wholesale level in Denmark,
Raziskava trga kaže, da danski odjemalci zemeljskega plina malo vedo o grosističnih cenah v Nemčiji, in uvoz zemeljskega plina velja kot šibak nadomestek za nakup zemeljskega plina na grosistični ravni na Danskem.
wholesale gas suppliers wishing to import gas from Germany to Denmark face significant transport costs, capacity constraints and administrative obstacles.
Grosistični dobavitelji zemeljskega plina, ki želijo zemeljski plin iz Nemčije uvažati na Dansko, se spopadajo z znatnimi prevoznimi stroški, omejenimi zmogljivostmi in upravnimi ovirami.
In its reply to the Article 6(1) (c) decision, DONG argued that gas deliveries at the German side of the Danish entry/exit point at Ellund belong to the Danish gas wholesale market.
DONG je v svojem odgovoru na člen 6(1)(c) Odločbe utemeljil, da pripada dobava zemeljskega plina na nemški strani danske vstopne/izstopne točke na Ellundu danskemu grosističnemu trgu zemeljskega plina.
On the basis of the results of the market investigation, the Decision leaves open whether these deliveries should be included in the geographic scope of the Danish gas wholesale supply market.
Na podlagi rezultatov raziskave trga ostaja v Odločbi nedoločeno, ali je treba te dobave vključiti v geografski obseg danskega trga za grosistično dobavo zemeljskega plina.
Market for the supply of natural gas to central CHPs
Trg za dobavo zemeljskega plina centralnim SPTE
The market for the supply of natural gas to central CHP plants is likely to be national in scope and may at most include Denmark and Sweden since it cannot be wider than the geographic scope of the wholesale market.
Trg za dobavo zemeljskega plina centralnim elektrarnam SPTE je verjetno po obsegu nacionalen in vključuje največ Dansko in Švedsko, ker ne more presegati geografski obseg grosističnega trga.
Moreover, only parts of the supply needed by central CHPs can be sourced from neighbouring countries.
Poleg tega se lahko le del dobave, ki jo potrebujejo centralne SPTE, pridobi iz sosednjih držav.
Market(s) for supply of gas to decentralised CHPs and large industrial customers
Trg(-i) za dobavo zemeljskega plina decentraliziranim SPTE in velikim industrijskim odjemalcem
