The maximum allowable aid intensity for projects under the 1998 MSF must be determined on the basis of the maximum intensity rate applicable to regional aid in the assisted area in question at the time the aid was notified.
Največjo dovoljeno intenzivnost pomoči za projekte na podlagi VSO 1998 je treba določiti na podlagi najvišje stopnje intenzivnosti, ki se je uporabljala za regionalne pomoči na zadevnem območju, upravičenem do pomoči, ob priglasitvi pomoči.
The Commission considers that the new elements do not call into question its overall assessment of the market and its evolution as set out in its 2000 Decision.
Komisija meni, da z novimi elementi ni mogoče ovreči splošnega ovrednotenja trga in njegovega razvoja, ki ga je podala v Odločbi 2000.
The Commission would recall that none of the companies taking part in the project at issue held, at the time the project was notified, a high market share within the meaning of point 3.6 of the 1998 MSF.
Komisija navaja, da nobeno od podjetij, ki sta sodelovali v zadevnem projektu, ob priglasitvi projekta ni obvladovalo visokega tržnega deleža v smislu točke 3.6 VSO 1998.

Opredelitev izdelka in trga iz Odločbe 2000 ni bila izpodbijana ali spremenjena, zato ni bila vključena v odločitev Komisije z dne 26. aprila 2006 o začetku postopka.
The assessment that follows is therefore reproduced from the 2000 Decision.
Ovrednotenje, ki sledi, je zato povzeto iz Odločbe 2000.
The product
Izdelek
Raw float glass is produced by floating a continuous stream of molten glass onto a bath of molten tin in an atmosphere of nitrogen (so-called float glass process developed by Pilkington in the 1960s).
Neobdelano ravno steklo se proizvaja v postopku kontinuiranega litja na tekočo plast kositra v dušikovi atmosferi (tako imenovani postopek float glass, ki ga je v šestdesetih letih dodelala družba Pilkington).
Coated glass is a basic glass which has undergone a surface treatment or coating (applied under vacuum using an electromagnetic process [23]) designed to eliminate reflections or ensure thermal insulation.
Steklo z nanosi je osnovno steklo, katerega površina je bila obdelana ali na katerega je bila nanesena prevleka (nanos prevleke v vakuumu z elektromagnetnim postopkom [23], da bi tako preprečili odseve ali zagotovili toplotno izolacijo.
It is thus possible to obtain a thermo-regulating glass (low-emission, or ‘low-E’, glass: Iplus brand for Interpane) or a solar control glass (sunlight-reflective glass: Ipasol brand for Interpane).
Tako je mogoče izdelati toplotno zaščitno steklo (steklo z zmanjšano emisijsko vrednostjo ali t. i. „nizkoemisijsko“ steklo: znamka Iplus za Interpane) ali sončno zaščitno steklo (steklo z odbojnostjo sončne energije: znamka Ipasol za Interpane).
It is planned to produce 90 % of low-emission glass and 10 % of sunlight-reflective glass of a thickness of either 4,6 mm or 8 mm.
Predvidena je proizvodnja 90 % stekla z zmanjšano emisijsko vrednostjo in 10 % stekla z odbojnostjo sončne energije debeline 4,6 ali 8 mm.
Laminated glass is a type of safety glass composed of two or more panes of glass with PVB (polyvinyl butyral) or resin film in between [24].
Plastno steklo je varnostno steklo, sestavljeno iz vsaj dveh plasti stekla, med katerima(-i) so nanesene plasti polivinilbutirala (PVB) ali smole [24].
First-stage-processed raw float glass and coated glass are listed together in the statistical nomenclature under codes:
Neobdelano float steklo in steklo z nanosi po prvi obdelavi sta v statistični nomenklaturi skupaj uvrščeni pod oznaki:
Float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked,
KN 7005: Float steklo in površinsko brušeno ali polirano steklo, v obliki listov ali plošč, s plastjo za absorbcijo, refleksijo ali proti refleksiji ali brez nje, toda drugače neobdelano,
NACE 26.1.A: Manufacture of flat glass.
NACE 26.1.A: Proizvodnja ravnega stekla.
Unworked float glass is used in the building and automotive industries.
Neobdelano float steklo se uporablja v gradbeni ali avtomobilski industriji.
A special feature of this type of production is that the manufacturing plant works to order (for batch sizes and the thickness and other specifications of the glass) on small production runs.
Posebnost take proizvodnje je zlasti to, da industrijski obrat proizvaja majhne proizvodne serije v skladu z značilnostmi naročil (količine, debelina in druge značilnosti stekla).
The products resulting from the first-stage processing of raw float glass are intermediate goods used in the manufacture of safety glass (statistical code CN 7007 — consisting of toughened (tempered) or laminated glass) and of multiple-walled insulating units of glass for the building industry (statistical code CN 7008 — consisting of at least two panes of glass separated by one or more hermetically sealed spaces enclosing dehydrated air and/or other gases).
Izdelki, pridobljeni s prvo predelavo ravnega neobdelanega stekla, so vmesno blago, ki se uporablja za proizvodnjo varnostnih stekel (statistična oznaka KN 7007 – sestavljena so iz kaljenega ali plastnega stekla) in večplastnih panelnih elementov za izolacijo, iz stekla, ki se uporabljajo v gradbeni industriji (statistična oznaka KN 7008 – sestavljeni so iz dveh ali več stekel, ločenih s prostori, napolnjenimi z dehidriranim zrakom ali plinom, ki zagotavljajo izolativnost okna).
Glass insulating units are made mostly from coated glass.
Izolacijska stekla se izdelujejo zlasti iz stekla z nanosi.
The companies will also produce laminated glass for the building industry at the Lorraine plant.
Podjetji bosta plastno steklo za gradbene namene proizvajali tudi na lorenski lokaciji.
This product is listed for statistical purposes under CN heading 70072900 — Laminated safety glass — Other.
Ta izdelek se statistično uvršča v kategorijo KN 70072900 – Plastno varnostno steklo – drugo.
The other types of laminated glass included under this heading are used in the automotive industry, which is the leading consumer of laminated glass manufactured in Europe (windscreens).
Druge vrste plastnega stekla iz te statistične kategorije se uporabljajo v avtomobilski industriji. Ta industrija porabi tudi večino plastnega stekla v Evropi (izdelava vetrobranskih stekel).
The Commission notes that, in keeping with the investors’ wishes to satisfy the increasing demand for glass for building construction, the Freyming-Merlebach plant is configured to produce glass for the building industry.
Komisija navaja, da je tovarna v Freyming-Merlebachu zasnovana za proizvodnjo stekla za gradbene namene v skladu z željami investitorjev, to je tako, da omogoča odziv na vse večje povpraševanje po steklu za gradbene namene.
This speciality now represents the totality of Interpane’s business.
Poleg tega je to specializirano področje danes edina dejavnost skupine Interpane.
The group has no capacity for processing primary glass into car widows, nor has it any commercial relations with motor manufacturers.
Ta skupina nima zmogljivosti za predelavo primarnega stekla, da bi iz njega lahko izdelovala steklene dele za avtomobile, in nima poslovnih odnosov z avtomobilskimi proizvajalci.
The coated glass produced at the new plant will have properties that are useful for buildings only [25].
Lastnosti stekla z nanosi, izdelanega na novi lokaciji, bodo omogočale le uporabo v gradbeništvu [25].
The laminated glass will likewise be used to make safety glass for buildings.
Prav tako bo plastno steklo namenjeno izdelavi varnostnih stekel za zgradbe.
Consequently, the investors’ decision to manufacture only glass for the building industry at Freyming-Merlebach would appear to be irreversible.
Zato se zdi, da je odločitev, da se v Freyming-Merlebachu izdeluje steklo za gradbene namene, za investitorje dokončna.
In the light of the above, and with a view to comparing market trends, the Commission considers that a distinction must be drawn between the trend in raw float glass and the trend in intermediate products such as laminated glass or coated glass which undergo subsequent treatment for final use as architectural or building glass.
Na podlagi navedenega in za namen primerjave razvoja trga Komisija meni, da je treba ločevati med razvojem float stekla (raw float glass) in razvojem vmesnih izdelkov, kot sta plastno steklo (laminated glass) ali steklo z nanosi (coated glass), ki se dodatno obdelajo za končno uporabo v arhitekturi ali gradbeništvu (architectural ali building glass).
This distinction is consistent with the Commission’s analysis of the relevant market in the context of the abovementioned agreements on the formation of two joint ventures, where a distinction is made between the raw float glass market as such and the final use of the various types of glass (including laminated and coated glasses) as architectural or building glass.
Tako razlikovanje se sklada z analizo, ki jo je opravila Komisija glede upoštevnega trga v okviru zgoraj navedenih sporazumov o oblikovanju dveh skupnih podjetij ter v kateri je uporabljeno razlikovanje med trgom float stekla (raw float glass) kot takega in uporabo različnih vrst stekla (vključno s plastnim steklom in steklom z nanosi (laminated in coated glasses)) za končno uporabo v arhitekturi ali gradbeništvu (architectural ali building glass).
Geographic scope
Geografska razsežnost
The geographic market comprises in principle the EEA or, where appropriate, any substantial part of the territory of the EEA if the conditions of competition are appreciably different there from those prevailing in the rest of the EEA.
Geografski trg načeloma vključuje EGP ali, če je to primerno, vsak bistven del ozemlja EGP, če se konkurenčne razmere v tem delu močno razlikujejo od prevladujočih razmer v preostalem EGP.
In the present case, no evidence to show that the relevant geographic market is different from the EEA emerged during the investigation.
V obravnavanem primeru med preiskavo ni bil predložen noben element, katerega namen bi bil dokazati, da se zadevni geografski trg razlikuje od EGP.
The relevant geographic market must therefore be defined as the EEA.
Zato je treba zadevni geografski trg opredeliti kot EGP.
Market trends
Razvoj trga
The Commission is not disposed to accept the data enclosed with the notification showing a high rate of utilisation of production capacity.
Komisija je zadržana glede sprejetja podatkov, vključenih v priglasitev, ki kažejo visoko stopnjo izkoriščenosti proizvodnih zmogljivosti.
The data were supplied by the glass industry (GEPVP) [26] and correspond to what the industry calls ‘saleable capacities’ [27].
Te podatke je predložila steklarska industrija (GEPVP) [26] in se ujemajo s tistim, kar industrija imenuje „uporabne proizvodne zmogljivosti“ (saleable capacities) [27].
This calculation method may be useful to the industry, but it makes it hard to compare the capacity utilisation data with those available for other industrial sectors.
Tako izračunavanje je gotovo smiselno v okviru dejavnosti, vendar pa hkrati otežuje primerjavo podatkov o izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti s podatki, ki so na voljo za druge industrijske sektorje.
Consequently, the Commission based its analysis in its 2000 Decision on the evolution of apparent consumption.
Zato je Komisija svojo analizo iz Odločbe 2000 utemeljila na gibanju očitne porabe.
The notification included volume data on the evolution of apparent consumption of float glass (CN 7005) during the period 1993-98.
Priglasitev vključuje količinske podatke glede gibanja očitne porabe float stekla (KN 7005) v obdobju 1993–1998.
The results show a fall in price levels [28].
Rezultati kažejo upad cenovne ravni [28].
Such a fall, together with a volume growth rate of 4,89 %, points to average growth being below the annual average of 5,78 % for EEA manufacturing industry as a whole, which suggests that the market is in decline within the meaning of the 1998 MSF.
Tak upad skupaj s 4,89-odstotno stopnjo rasti, izraženo s količino, navaja na sklep, da je povprečna rast pod 5,78-odstotnim letnim povprečjem, ki velja za celotno predelovalno industrijo v EGP, kar pomeni, da je ta trg v smislu VSO 1998 trg v zatonu.
The Commission considers however — as indicated above — that a distinction must be drawn between the trend in raw float glass and the trend in intermediate products such as laminated glass or coated glass which undergo subsequent treatment for final use as architectural or building glass.
Vendar pa Komisija meni – kot je bilo navedeno zgoraj –, da je treba ločevati med razvojem float stekla (raw float glass) in razvojem vmesnih izdelkov, kot sta plastno steklo (laminated glass) ali steklo z nanosi (coated glass), ki se dodatno obdelajo za končno uporabo v arhitekturi ali gradbeništvu (architectural ali building glass).
The Commission notes also that the average growth in consumption of insulating products (including insulating glass for building) will experience a strong upward trend owing to the stricter carbon emission controls following the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol to the 1997 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
Komisija poleg tega ugotavlja, da se bo povprečna rast porabe izolacijskih izdelkov (vključno z izolacijskim steklom za gradbene namene) močno povečala zaradi strožjega nadzora emisij CO2, ki so ga začeli izvajati, potem ko je bil leta 1997 sprejet Kjotski protokol k Okvirni konvenciji ZN o spremembi podnebja.
In the residential and building sector, thermal insulation is an effective technology in terms of energy saving and hence in terms of carbon emissions reduction.
V sektorju gospodinjstev in gradbeništva je toplotna izolacija učinkovita tehnologija, ki pripomore k varčevanju z energijo in zato zmanjševanju emisij CO2.
Implementation of the new standards for insulation types (ISO 10456) and for heat loss (ISO 832) will entail higher heat loss values which will lead to an increased need for energy savings.
Izvajanje novih standardov za vrste izolacije (ISO 10456) in toplotne izgube (ISO 832) bo pomenilo višje vrednosti toplotnih izgub, zaradi katerih bo treba bolj varčevati z energijo.
Consequently, in line with the analysis in the Commission Decision in the Rockwool case [30], the strong upward trend shown by intermediate glass products which undergo subsequent treatment for final use as architectural or building glass points to the conclusion that the market is not in decline [31].
Zato in v skladu z analizo iz odločbe Komisije glede primera Rockwool [30] hitro rastoče povpraševanje po vmesnih izdelkih iz stekla, pri katerih je potrebna dodatna obdelava za končno uporabo v arhitekturi ali gradbeništvu, omogoča sklep, da ta trg ni v zatonu [31].
To conclude, a different trend is found to exist in the case of (i) raw float glass and (ii) intermediate glass products which undergo subsequent treatment for final use as architectural or building glass (such as laminated glass or coated glass): as regards (i), the Commission considers that the market is in decline within the meaning of the multisectoral framework; as regards (ii), the market is not in decline.
Torej je ugotovljena razlika v razvoju, kar zadeva (i) float steklo (raw float glass) in (ii) vmesne izdelke iz stekla, ki se dodatno obdelajo za končno uporabo v arhitekturi ali gradbeništvu (kakršna sta plastno steklo ali steklo z nanosi): kar zadeva (i), Komisija meni, da je trg v zatonu v smislu večsektorskega okvira; kar zadeva (ii), trg ni v zatonu.
Where a project results in a capacity expansion in a sector facing structural overcapacity and/or a declining market and is likely to reinforce high market share [32], there is a risk that the award of the maximum levels of aid normally allowed in the region concerned will unduly distort competition.
Če projekt povzroči povečanje zmogljivosti v sektorju, za katerega je značilen strukturni presežek, ali na trgu v zatonu in bi lahko hkrati še okrepil visok tržni delež [32], bi lahko dodelitev najvišjih zneskov pomoči, ki se po navadi odobrijo za zadevno regijo, povzročila neupravičeno izkrivljanje konkurence.
In such cases, the 1998 MSF provides for the application of an adjustment factor of 0,50.
V takih primerih je z VSO 1998 določena uporaba prilagoditvenega količnika 0,50.
In the present case, the Commission has identified the raw float glass market as being a market in decline.
V obravnavanem primeru je Komisija trg float stekla opredelila kot trg v zatonu.
None of the founders of the two joint ventures has a share of 40 % or more of this market.
Nobeden od ustanoviteljev dveh skupnih podjetij na tem trgu ne obvladuje deleža, ki bi bil enak ali višji od 40 %.
Determination of the maximum allowable aid intensity
Določitev najvišje dovoljene pomoči
In accordance with the provisions of the 1998 MSF, the Commission determines the maximum allowable intensity for a notified aid measure according to a formula which takes into account various factors.
V skladu z določbami VSO 1998 Komisija določi največjo dovoljeno intenzivnost za priglašeno pomoč tako, da upošteva različne dejavnike.
The calculation begins by identifying the maximum aid intensity (regional ceiling) which a large company may obtain in the assisted area concerned within the context of the authorised regional aid system valid at the moment of notification.
Pri izračunu se najprej določi največja intenzivnost (regionalna zgornja meja), ki jo je mogoče odobriti za veliko podjetje na območju zadevne pomoči v skladu s pravili za regionalno pomoč, odobreno z dnem priglasitve.
In order to calculate the maximum allowable aid intensity for the project in question, a range of adjustment factors are then applied to the percentage obtained in accordance with three specific assessment criteria, namely: competition, the capital-labour ratio and regional impact.
Nato se za tako določeno odstotno vrednost uporabijo različni korekcijski količniki v skladu s tremi posebnimi merili presoje, na podlagi katerih se izračuna največja dovoljena intenzivnost pomoči za zadevni projekt pomoči: stanje konkurence, razmerje med kapitalom in delom ter regionalni učinek.
Maximum aid intensity in the assisted area concerned (R)
Največja intenzivnost pomoči na območju zadevne pomoči (R)
According to the applicable French regional aid map for the period 2000-06, the Freyming-Merlebach employment area is an assisted area within the meaning of Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty in which the intensity of public investment aid can be as high as 15 % NGE.
Na podlagi upoštevne francoske karte regionalnih pomoči za obdobje 2000–2006 je območje zaposlovanja v občini Freyming-Merlebach območje, upravičeno do pomoči po členu 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES, na katerem lahko intenzivnost javnih pomoči za naložbe doseže 15 % NED.
The competition factor (T)
Dejavnik „stanje konkurence“ (T)
The competition factor (points 3.2 to 3.6 of the 1998 MSF), as determined in the 2000 Decision, has been neither challenged nor amended and did not form part of the decision of 26 April 2006 to open the procedure.
Dejavnik „stanje konkurence“ (točke od 3.2 do 3.6 VSO 1998), kot je bil opredeljen v Odločbi 2000, ni bil izpodbijan ali spremenjen, zato ni bil vključen v odločitev z dne 26. aprila 2006 o začetku postopka.
The competition factor involves an analysis of whether the notified project will be implemented in a sector or subsector suffering from structural overcapacity.
Dejavnik „konkurenca“ se upošteva prek analize, katere namen je opredeliti, ali se bo priglašeni projekt izvedel v sektorju ali podsektorju, za katerega je značilen strukturni presežek.
In accordance with the provisions of the 1998 MSF (point 3.3), the potential existence of structural overcapacity is evaluated by considering the difference between the average capacity utilisation rate for manufacturing industry as a whole and the capacity utilisation rate of the relevant sector or subsector.
Na podlagi določb VSO 1998 (točka 3.3) se morebitni obstoj strukturnega presežka oceni na podlagi primerjave razlike med povprečno stopnjo izkoriščenosti proizvodnih zmogljivosti celotne predelovalne industrije in stopnjo izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti v zadevnem (pod)sektorju.
In the absence of sufficient data on capacity utilisation, the Commission considers whether the investment is taking place in a declining market.
Komisija pri nezadostnih podatkih o izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti obravnava, ali se zadevne naložbe izvajajo na trgu v zatonu.
For this purpose, it compares the evolution of apparent consumption of the product(s) in question with the growth rate of EEA manufacturing industry as a whole.
V ta namen primerja gibanje očitne porabe zadevnega proizvoda ali proizvodov s stopnjo rasti celotne predelovalne industrije na ravni EGP.
As indicated above, the Commission is faced with an absence of reliable data on the sector concerned.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, Komisija za zadevni sektor nima zanesljivih podatkov.
It is therefore impossible to calculate capacity utilisation, or even apparent consumption, for this sector.
Zato za ta sektor ni mogoče izračunati niti izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti niti očitne porabe.
On the basis of the market trend analysis, a factor of 0,75 must be applied to the part of the investment that is devoted to the production of raw float glass (CN 7005).
Na podlagi analize razvoja trga je treba za del naložbe, dodeljen proizvodnji float stekla (raw float glass – KN 7005), uporabiti količnik 0,75.
For the part of the investment that relates to laminated or coated building glass falling under CN headings 7007 and 7008, a competition factor of 1 should be applied.
Za del naložbe, ki se nanaša na plastno steklo ali steklo z nanosi za gradbene namene (laminated ali coated building glass), ki spadata v kategoriji KN 7007 in 7008, je treba uporabiti dejavnik konkurence 1.
The 1998 MSF does not envisage a situation in which two or more competition factors might be applied to a single investment for which a different market trend has been assessed for each relevant product.
VSO 1998 ne obravnava položaja, v katerem bi bilo mogoče uporabiti dva ali več dejavnikov konkurence za eno samo naložbo, pri kateri je bil ocenjen različen razvoj trga za vsak zadevni izdelek.
Insofar as, in the present case, the application of only one of the two factors to the whole investment would be not only disproportionate but also inaccurate, the Commission considers that the competition factor should be weighted so as to reflect the market trend for each relevant product.
Ker bi bila v obravnavanem primeru uporaba samo enega od obeh dejavnikov za celo naložbo ne le nesorazmerna, ampak tudi netočna, Komisija meni, da bi bilo treba dejavnik konkurence ponderirati tako, da bi izražal razvoj trga za vsak zadevni izdelek.
Inasmuch as the project consists in a fully integrated plant, it would be artificial to establish an adjustment factor calculated on the basis of the relative value of the investment in relation to each of the relevant products.
Ker je projekt sestavljen iz popolnoma združene tovarne, bi bila določitev ponderja, izračunanega na podlagi relativne vrednosti naložbe za vsak zadevni izdelek, umetna.
The Commission has therefore used an adjustment factor (40/60) which is based on the respective capacities placed on the market by the aid recipient.
Zato je Komisija uporabila ponder (40/60), ki temelji na zadevnih zmogljivostih, ki jih je prejemnik pomoči dal na trg.
This results in a factor T of 0,85 [33], which represents the competition factor (1 and 0,75) in the two markets.
Na podlagi tega znaša količnik T 0,85 [33]; ta količnik je dejavnik konkurence (1 in 0,75) na obeh trgih.
The capital-labour factor (I)
Dejavnik „razmerje med kapitalom in delom“ (I)
