The ‘Refining-Petrochemicals’ results centre encompasses IFP’s R & D activities in the field of sulphur recovery technologies, the results of which are exploited by the subsidiary Prosernat, in the field of the technologies of refining, petrochemicals, GTL (gas to liquid) and vegetable oil esters for the production of diesel fuels, the results of which are exploited by the subsidiary Axens, and in the field of CTL (coal to liquid), biomass (excluding vegetable oil esters for the production of diesel fuels) and hydrogen production, the results of which are exploited in collaboration with other industrial partners.
Center za rezultate za rafinerijo in petrokemijo na eni strani združuje dejavnosti R & R skupine IFP na področju tehnoloških postopkov razžveplanja, katerih rezultate uporablja hčerinska družba Prosernat, dejavnosti na področju tehnoloških postopkov rafiniranja, petrokemije, pretvorbe plina v tekočino (GTL, gas to liquid), estrov iz rastlinskih olj za dizelska goriva, katerih rezultate uporablja hčerinska družba Axens, ter dejavnosti na področju pretvorbe premoga v tekočino (CTL, coal to liquid), biomase (razen estrov iz rastlinskih olj za dizelsko gorivo) in proizvodnje vodika, katerih rezultati se uporabljajo skupaj z drugimi industrijskimi partnerji.
The ‘Exploration-Production’ results centre covers IFP’s R & D work in the field of oilfield operation consultancy services and the contract development of oilfield software, the results of which are exploited by the subsidiary Beicip-Franlab, in the field of gas treatment technologies, the results of which are exploited by the subsidiary Prosernat, and in the field of CO2 recovery and hydrogen transport, the results of which are exploited in collaboration with other industrial partners.
Po drugi strani center za rezultate za raziskave in proizvodnjo zajema raziskovalne in razvojne dejavnosti skupine IFP na področju svetovanja o izkoriščanju naftnih polj in obvladovanja dela z opremo za izkoriščanje nafte, katerih rezultate uporablja hčerinska družba Beicip-Franlab, dejavnosti na področju tehnoloških postopkov predelave plina, katerih rezultate uporablja hčerinska družba Prosernat, ter dejavnosti na področju pretvorbe CO2 in prevoza vodika, katerih rezultati se uporabljajo skupaj z drugimi industrijskimi partnerji.
The Commission takes into consideration the fact that several projects carried out within the ‘Refining-Petrochemicals’ and ‘Exploration-Production’ results centres on the ‘competency acquisition’ segment count as fundamental research within the meaning of Annex I to the 1996 R & D framework and have their results widely disseminated among Community enterprises without discrimination.
Poleg tega Komisija upošteva dejstvo, da več projektov, ki se izvajajo v centrih za rezultate za rafiniranje in petrokemijo ter raziskave in proizvodnjo na področju pridobivanja znanja izhaja iz temeljnih raziskav v smislu Priloge 1 k okviru R & R iz leta 1996, njihovi rezultati pa se večinoma brez diskriminacije razširjajo med podjetji Skupnosti.
These projects have as their objective the emergence of new ideas through well-upstream creative research and the development of competencies.
Cilj teh projektov je nastanek novih zamisli prek predhodne ustvarjalne raziskave in razvoja sposobnosti.
France has submitted to the Commission a list of projects carried out on these segments together with project descriptions.
Francija je Komisiji predložila seznam projektov, ki se izvajajo na teh področjih, in opisne sezname.
The Commission takes note, moreover, of the fact that IFP disseminates the results of this work using a number of tools, such as its own scientific journal Oil & Gas Science and Technology, which is freely accessible online, the organisation of and participation in conferences, the publication of works, partnerships with other research centres and doctoral sponsorships.
Poleg tega Komisija ugotavlja, da skupina IFP razširja rezultate teh dejavnosti na podlagi več orodij, kot so njena lastna znanstvena revija Oil & Gas Science and Technology, prosto dostopna v spletu, organizacija in sodelovanje na kongresih, objava del, partnerstva z drugimi raziskovalnimi centri in izvajanje doktoratov.
Bearing in mind the elements set out in recitals 133 to 139, the Commission considers that IFP’s system of analytical accounts makes it possible to trace all costs incurred by and remuneration received from its economic activities.
Ob upoštevanju elementov iz uvodnih izjav 133 do 139 Komisija ocenjuje, da analitični računovodski sistem skupine IFP omogoča ugotovitev vseh nastalih stroškov in prejetih plačil za njene gospodarske dejavnosti.
The Commission would observe, however, that, in the light of the current organisation of IFP’s accounts, the distinction between economic and non-economic activities necessitates a close analysis of the results centres’ accounts, project by project.
Komisija vseeno ugotavlja, da je v sedanji organizaciji računovodskih evidenc skupine IFP za razlikovanje med gospodarskimi in negospodarskimi dejavnostmi potrebna podrobna analiza računovodskih evidenc centrov za rezultate za vsak projekt posebej.
It considers, therefore, that, for the future, IFP must organise and publish its accounts in such a way as to distinguish more clearly, in accordance with the principles laid down by Directive 2006/111/EC, between its economic and its non-economic activities, for example by grouping its economic activities within one and the same results centre.
Zato ocenjuje, da bo morala skupina IFP v prihodnosti organizirati in objaviti svoje računovodske evidence, pri čemer bo jasneje določila meje med svojimi gospodarskimi in negospodarskimi dejavnostmi, na primer z razvrstitvijo gospodarskih dejavnosti v en sam center za rezultate v skladu z načeli iz Direktive Komisije 2006/111/ES.
Following its examination of the accounts of IFP’s results centres, the Commission is able to establish the amount of IFP’s R & D project costs and of IFP’s own resources in the exclusive fields of activity of the subsidiaries Axens and Prosernat, namely the technologies of refining, petrochemicals, GTL and vegetable oil esters for the production of diesel fuels, and the technologies of gas treatment and sulphur recovery:
Po pregledu računovodskih evidenc centrov za rezultate skupine IFP Komisija lahko ugotovi znesek stroškov za projekte R & R in lastna sredstva skupine IFP na področju izključnih dejavnosti hčerinskih družb Axens in Prosernat, in sicer kar zadeva tehnološke postopke rafiniranja in petrokemije, GTL, estrov iz rastlinskih olj za dizelsko gorivo ter tehnološke postopke predelave plina in razžveplanja:
Own resources
Lastna sredstva
Accounting deficit
Računovodski primanjkljaj
Inasmuch as these data point to an accounting deficit, IFP’s commercial activities in the areas of the technologies of refining, petrochemicals, GTL and vegetable oil esters for the production of diesel fuels and of the technologies of gas treatment and sulphur recovery are not fully financed out of own resources and hence benefit from IFP’s State funding.
Ti podatki, ki kažejo na računovodski primanjkljaj za tržne dejavnosti skupine IFP na področju tehnoloških postopkov rafiniranja in petrokemije, GTL, estrov iz rastlinskih olj za dizelsko gorivo ter tehnoloških postopkov predelave plina in razžveplanja, se ne financirajo v celoti iz lastnih sredstev in torej koristijo sredstva, ki jih država dodeli skupini IFP.
This constitutes a selective advantage financed by State resources.
To predstavlja selektivno prednost, ki se financira iz državnih sredstev.
The combined deficit for the period 2003-06 amounts therefore, for the two relevant markets, to [less than EUR 50 million] [15] Information covered by professional secrecy.
Skupni primanjkljaj za obdobje 2003–2006 za zadevna trga znaša [manj kot 50 milijonov EUR] [15] Informacija je poslovna skrivnost.
This amount is, however, well below the amount cited by UOP.
Ta znesek je vseeno znatno nižji od zneska, ki ga je navedla družba UOP.
IFP’s activities in the field of oilfield operation consultancy services and the contract development of oilfield software deserve special mention.
Dejavnosti skupine IFP na področju svetovanja o izkoriščanju naftnih polj in obvladovanja dela z opremo za izkoriščanje nafte si zaslužijo posebno pozornost.
The Commission notes that the development agreement between IFP and its subsidiary Beicip-Franlab, as modified by the amendment signed on 16 December 2005 and applicable from 1 January 2005, provides that Beicip-Franlab is to reimburse IFP for all the costs, plus legal interest, of work carried out by the latter in Beicip-Franlab’s field of activity, including research into algorithms, models and methodologies.
Komisija dejansko ugotavlja, da konvencija o razvoju med skupino IFP in njeno hčerinsko družbo Beicip-Franlab, kakor je bila spremenjena z dodatkom, podpisanim 16. decembra 2005, in ki se uporablja od 1. januarja 2005, določa, da družba Beicip-Franlab skupini IFP v celoti povrne stroške dela z zakonito obrestno mero, ki jih je skupina vodila na področju dejavnosti družbe Beicip-Franlab, vključno z raziskovalnimi deli v zvezi z algoritmi, modeli in metodologijami.
The Commission has checked the remunerations paid by Beicip-Franlab to IFP in 2003 and 2004 and found that they broadly cover the cost of work done by IFP in its subsidiary’s exclusive domain.
Poleg tega je Komisija preverila plačila, ki jih je družba Beicip-Franlab v letih 2003 in 2004 izplačala skupini IFP na izključnem področju njene hčerinske družbe.
The Commission is therefore able to conclude that the work of IFP and Beicip-Franlab is financed entirely out of income earned in the market for oilfield operation consultancy services and the contract development of oilfield software.
Komisija lahko zato sklene, da se dejavnosti skupine IFP in družbe Beicip-Franlab v celoti financirajo iz prihodka, pridobljenega na trgu svetovanja o izkoriščanju naftnih polj in obvladovanja dela z opremo za izkoriščanje nafte.
In this market, IFP and Beicip-Franlab therefore do not enjoy a competitive advantage.
Na tem trgu skupina IFP in družba Beicip-Franlab torej nimata konkurenčne prednosti.
Conclusion on the existence of aid
Sklep o obstoju pomoči
In conclusion, certain of IFP’s activities fall outside the scope of its non-economic activities insofar as they give rise to commercial exploitation by its subsidiaries.
Nekatere dejavnosti skupine IFP niso negospodarske dejavnosti, če jih lahko njene hčerinske družbe tržno izkoriščajo.
The Commission has come to the conclusion that the subsidiaries concerned cannot be considered autonomous from their parent company insofar as their activities form part of IFP’s development strategy, IFP exercises not only de jure but also de facto control, exclusive agreements bear witness to strong economic integration, and IFP and the subsidiaries concerned have a common image in the eyes of operators in the relevant sectors.
Komisija je dejansko ugotovila, da zadevnih hčerinskih družb ni mogoče obravnavati kot nosilce dejavnosti, ki so neodvisni od svoje matične družbe, če so njihove dejavnosti vključene v razvojno strategijo skupine IFP, če skupina IFP izvaja pravni in tudi dejanski nadzor, če izključni sporazumi kažejo na veliko gospodarsko povezovanje ter če imajo nosilci dejavnosti v zadevnih sektorjih skupno podobo o skupini IFP in zadevnih hčerinskih družbah.
Moreover, IFP benefits, for its commercial activities with the exception of the field of activity of its subsidiary Beicip-Franlab, from partial public financing, which constitutes a selective advantage insofar as it is granted to only one enterprise.
Poleg tega so gospodarske dejavnosti skupine IFP, razen na področju delovanja hčerinske družbe Beicip-Franlab, delno javno financirane, kar pomeni selektivno prednost, če to velja le za eno podjetje.
This financing is, furthermore, imputable to the State.
Poleg tega gre za državna sredstva.
The Commission considers that, in the fields of activity of Axens and Prosernat, the other criteria for the existence of aid are also fulfilled.
Komisija meni, da so na področjih dejavnosti družb Axens in Prosernat izpolnjena tudi druga merila za obstoj pomoči.
The Commission considers further that any contribution to activities in the fields of activity of Axens and Prosernat strengthens the competitive position of IFP and its subsidiaries and potentially involves a distortion of competition.
Komisija ocenjuje, da se z vsakim prispevkom za dejavnosti na področjih delovanja družb Axens in Prosernat krepi konkurenčni položaj skupine IFP in njenih hčerinskih družb ter da bi lahko to povzročilo izkrivljanje konkurence.
Regarding the field of activity of IFP and Axens, the Commission takes note of the information communicated by France and reproduced by Axens in its comments, intended to show the high amount, compared, inter alia, with other enterprises in the sector, of the additional research costs financed by the subsidiary Axens out of its own resources.
Kar zadeva področje dejavnosti skupine IFP in družbe Axens, Komisija upošteva informacije, ki jih je predložila Francija in jih je povzela družba Axens v svojih pripombah ter katerih cilj je dokazati visok znesek, zlasti v primerjavi z drugimi podjetji v sektorju, dodatnih stroškov za raziskave, ki jih financira hčerinska družba Axens iz svojih lastnih sredstev.
Nevertheless, the Commission considers that an absence of advantage cannot be deduced from this high amount insofar as the analysis of IFP’s accounts clearly shows an accounting deficit between costs and resources in Axens’s field of activity.
Komisija glede na to ocenjuje, da o neobstoju prednosti ni mogoče sklepati na podlagi tega visokega zneska, če analiza računovodskih evidenc družbe IFP jasno kaže na računovodski primanjkljaj med stroški in sredstvi na področju dejavnosti družbe Axens.
Regarding the field of activity of IFP and Prosernat, the Commission takes note of France’s comments to the effect that collaboration in most projects carried on in the field of oilfield research and exploration is open without discrimination to numerous industrial partners.
Kar zadeva področje dejavnosti skupine IFP in družbe Prosernat, Komisija upošteva pripombe Francije, v skladu s katerimi je sodelovanje pri večini projektov, opravljenih na področju raziskav in iskanja nafte, brez razlikovanja na voljo več industrijskim partnerjem.
Nevertheless, some projects fall under the exclusive agreements between IFP and Prosernat, and hence any collaboration with other industrial partners is strictly regulated and limited.
Vseeno nekateri projekti temeljijo na izključnih sporazumih med skupino IFP in družbo Prosernat, zato je sodelovanje z drugimi industrijskimi partnerji strogo urejeno in omejeno.
The consequence for Prosernat is a selective advantage financed by State resources.
To pomeni, da ima družba Prosernat selektivno prednost, ki se financira iz državnih sredstev.
Furthermore, this distortion of competition is liable to have an impact on intra-Community trade insofar as the fields of activity of the subsidiaries concerned constitute competitive markets at world level.
Poleg tega lahko to izkrivljanje konkurence vpliva na trgovino znotraj Skupnosti, če so sektorji dejavnosti zadevnih hčerinskih družb konkurenčni trgi na svetovni ravni.
The market for refining and petrochemicals technologies is a worldwide market open to competition since the 1950s.
Trg tehnoloških postopkov rafiniranja in petrokemije je trg svetovnih razsežnosti, ki je od 50. let prejšnjega stoletja odprt za konkurenco.
The main competitors of IFP and Axens in this market are UOP, Chevron, Lummus, Shell, ExxonMobil, Haldor Topsoe and ConocoPhillips.
Tekmeci skupine IFP in družbe Axens na tem trgu so zlasti podjetja UOP, Chevron, Lummus, Shell, ExxonMobil, Haldor Topsoe in ConocoPhillips.
In the market for gas treatment and sulphur recovery technologies, IFP and Prosernat compete with such gas treatment equipment suppliers as KCC, KPS, SIIRTEC-NIGI, Hanover Maloney, Frames, TDE and GPS, with such gas sweetening technology licensees as UOP, ExxonMobil, Shell Global Solutions, BASF, Eneos and Huntsman, and with such sulphur specialists as Jacobs, Black & Veath Pritchard, Lurgi, Parsons, Technip-KTI, SIIRTEC-NIGI, CBI and TPA.
Na trgu tehnoloških postopkov predelave plina in razžveplanja so tekmeci skupine IFP in Prosernat dobavitelji opreme za predelavo plina, kot so družbe KCC, KPS, SIIRTEC-NIGI, Hanover Maloney, Frames, TDE in GPS, dajalci licenc za tehnološke postopke zmanjševanja kislosti plinov, kot so UOP, ExxonMobil, Shell Global Solutions, BASF, Eneos in Huntsman, ter strokovnjaki za žveplo, kot so Jacobs, Black & Veath Pritchard, Lurgi, Parsons, Technip-KTI, SIIRTEC-NIGI, CBI in TPA.
Consequently, the Commission refutes the argument advanced by France to the effect that not all the elements necessary for classifying the State support for the activities of IFP and its subsidiaries Axens and Prosernat as State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty are present.
Zato Komisija zavrača trditev Francije, da vsi potrebni elementi, da bi se javna pomoč za dejavnosti skupine IFP ter njenih hčerinskih družb Axens in Prosernat, obravnavala kot državna pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe, niso prisotni.
Lastly, the Commission would point out that the question of the existence of additional State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty, resulting from the new EPIC status and a potential unlimited State guarantee for IFP stemming from that status [38], is the subject of a separate investigation in another proceeding (NN 11/08).
Komisija nazadnje navaja, da je vprašanje obstoja dodatne državne pomoči v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES, ki izhaja iz novega statuta javne ustanove industrijske in gospodarske narave ter morebitnega neomejenega državnega jamstva za skupino IFP na podlagi tega statuta [38] predmet ločenega pregleda Komisije v okviru drugega postopka (NN11/2008).
This separate investigation is made possible, inter alia, by the relatively recent nature of the new EPIC status compared with the set of measures examined by the present Decision.
Ta ločen pregled je zlasti mogoč, ker je ta novi statut javne ustanove industrijske in gospodarske narave sorazmerno nov v primerjavi z vsemi ukrepi, pregledanimi s to odločbo.
The Commission has shown that IFP and its subsidiaries Axens and Prosernat enjoy a selective advantage financed by State resources.
Komisija je dokazala, da imajo skupina IFP ter njeni hčerinski družbi Axens in Prosernat selektivno prednost, ki se financira iz državnih sredstev.
This advantage stems from the non-coverage by their own resources of R & D activities in the fields of activity of Axens and Prosernat.
Ta prednost temelji na dejstvu, da se dejavnosti R & R na področju dejavnosti družb Axens in Prosernat ne krijejo iz lastnih sredstev teh družb.
The non-coverage of IFP’s expenditure in the fields of activity of Axens and Prosernat is the result of intra-group transfer mechanisms as established by the exclusive agreements between IFP and Axens, on the one hand, and IFP and Prosernat, on the other.
Nekritje stroškov skupine IFP na področjih družb Axens in Prosernat je posledica mehanizmov prenosa znotraj skupine, ki so bili vzpostavljeni na podlagi izključnih sporazumov med skupino IFP in družbo Axens na eni strani ter skupino IFP in družbo Prosernat na drugi strani.
The Commission considers, therefore, that the existence of the aid has come about as a result of the concomitance of the existence of commercial subsidiaries and the signature of exclusive agreements between those subsidiaries and the parent company, insofar as those agreements do not guarantee total coverage of the costs of work carried out by IFP on behalf of Axens and Prosernat.
Komisija zato ocenjuje, da je obstoj pomoči posledica istočasnega obstoja gospodarskih hčerinskih družb ter podpisa izključnih sporazumov med temi hčerinskimi družbami in matično družbo, če te družbe ne krijejo v celoti stroškov dela, ki ga opravi skupina IFP za družbi Axens in Prosernat.
As a reminder, the agreements between IFP and Axens took effect on 1 January 2001 and those between IFP and Prosernat on 1 January 2002.
Opozoriti je treba, da so sporazumi med skupino IFP in družbo Axens začeli veljati 1. januarja 2001, sporazumi med skupino IFP in družbo Prosernat pa 1. januarja 2002.
The Commission takes note of the comments submitted by France and summarised in Section 4.1.
Komisija upošteva pripombe, ki jih je predložila Francija in so povzete v oddelku 4.1.
Hence it is adhering to its assessment, as set out in point 3.2 of the decision to initiate the procedure, as regards the unlawfulness of the aid, according to which the aid at issue must be considered unlawful as from the date of expiry of the validity of its 1998 decision, i.e. as from 1 January 2003.
Komisija tako vztraja pri svoji oceni iz točke 3.2 odločitve o sprožitvi postopka v zvezi z nezakonitostjo pomoči, v skladu s katero je treba obravnavati, da je zadevna pomoč nezakonita od datuma izteka veljavnosti odločitve iz leta 1998, tj. od 1. januarja 2003.
The Commission takes note of the comments from France and Axens concerning the situation of legitimate expectation on the part of the beneficiaries.
Komisija je seznanjena s pripombami Francije in družbe Axens v zvezi z utemeljenim pričakovanjem večine upravičencev.
Nevertheless, in the light of the elements that follow and insofar as the Commission concludes that the aid granted to IFP and its subsidiaries is compatible with the common market, it is not necessary for the Commission to rule on the matter.
Glede na to in ob upoštevanju elementov v nadaljevanju velja, da Komisiji ni treba odločati o tem vprašanju, če ugotovi, da je pomoč, dodeljena skupini IFP in njenim hčerinskim družbam, združljiva s skupnim trgom.
Request for a suspensive order
Predlog za izdajo odredbe o začasnem odlogu
The Commission has not acceded to a request from UOP that it take a decision ordering France to suspend payment of any unlawful aid.
Komisija ni odobrila predloga družbe UOP o sprejetju odločitve, na podlagi katere bi Francija morala začasno odložiti plačilo vsake nezakonite pomoči.
First of all, the State support granted to IFP constitutes the main source of financing for activities other than the economic activities of IFP and its subsidiaries Axens and Prosernat, such as training, fundamental research, collaborative R & D and the dissemination of R & D findings, which the Commission considers in principle to be non-economic and which account for more than 90 % of the State support granted to IFP.
Na eni strani je javna pomoč, dodeljena družbi IFP, glavni vir financiranja dejavnosti, ki niso le gospodarske dejavnosti skupine IFP in njenih hčerinskih družb Axens in Prosernat, kot so izobraževanje, temeljne raziskave ter skupne raziskave in razvoj ter razširjanje rezultatov R & R, ki jih Komisija načeloma obravnava kor negospodarske in ki zajemajo več kot 90 % javne pomoči, dodeljene skupini IFP.
Secondly, the Commission took the view that such a decision was irrelevant insofar as it was reasonable to anticipate the compatibility of at least part of the aid.
Na drugi strani je Komisija ocenila, da taka odločitev ni primerna, če je upravičeno pričakovati združljivost vsaj dela pomoči.
Basis for examining the compatibility of the aid
Podlaga za preverjanje združljivosti pomoči
Before examining the research stages provided for in the 1996 R & D framework, the Commission must determine whether IFP’s State-aided activities do in fact come under the heading of research and development.
Komisija mora pred preverjanjem faz raziskovanja iz okvira za R & R iz leta 1996 opredeliti, ali dejavnosti skupine IFP, v zvezi s katerimi je bila dodeljena državna pomoč, dejansko spadajo na področje raziskav in razvoja.
In this connection, the Commission would refer to the Frascati Manual [39], which gives definitions of R & D and classifications of its constituent activities.
V zvezi s tem se Komisija sklicuje na priročnik Frascati [39], ki vsebuje opredelitve R & R ter razvrstitve temeljnih dejavnosti.
