With respect to the production capacity and minimum production level to guarantee access to coal resources, in its letter to Spain of 30 March 2004, the Commission considered that the justification did not seem to comply with the purpose of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002.
V zvezi s proizvodno zmogljivostjo in najnižjo ravnijo proizvodnje, ki zagotavlja dostop do zalog premoga, je bila Komisija v dopisu Španiji z dne 30. marca 2004 mnenja, da se utemeljitev ne zdi skladna z namenom člena 1 Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002.
The plan for accessing coal reserves and aid for accession coal reserves should be justified on the grounds of the need to maintain a minimum quantity of coal production to guarantee access to reserves.
Načrt za dostop do zalog premoga in pomoč za dostop do zalog premoga je treba utemeljiti na podlagi potrebe po ohranjanju najmanjše količine proizvodnje premoga, ki zagotavlja dostop do zalog.
The social and regional aspects of the restructuring of the sector can only be used as justification for the closure plan and for the aid for the reduction of activity.
Socialne in regionalne vidike prestrukturiranja sektorja je mogoče uporabiti le kot utemeljitev načrta za zaprtje in pomoči za zmanjševanje dejavnosti.
The Spanish authorities have provided information concerning the costs of production units.
Španske oblasti so predložile informacije glede stroškov proizvodnih enot.
For each company, except Hunosa, Spain has defined the underground workings and related infrastructure of each company as a single underground production unit, and followed a similar approach with regard to opencast workings.
Španija je za vsako podjetje z izjemo podjetja Hunosa opredelila podzemna dela in z njimi povezano infrastrukturo kot samostojno proizvodno enoto podzemnega rudarjenja in podoben pristop je imela v zvezi z deli na površini.
The application of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002 is based on the concept of ‘production unit’.
Uporaba Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002 temelji na konceptu „proizvodne enote“.
On 30 March 2004 the Commission expressed doubts as to whether this information was detailed enough in view of the conditions laid down in Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002.
Komisija je 30. marca 2004 izrazila dvom, ali so te informacije dovolj podrobne glede na pogoje, določene v členu 9 Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002.
Distinction between aid for the reduction of activity and aid for accessing coal reserves
Razlikovanje med pomočjo za zmanjševanje dejavnosti in pomočjo za dostop do zalog premoga
Following the opening of the procedure, Spain has classified the aid according to whether it was granted under Articles 4 or 5(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002.
Po začetku postopka je Španija razvrstila pomoč glede na to, ali je bila dodeljena po členu 4 ali členu 5(3) Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002.
Other production units received aid for accessing coal reserves.
Ostale proizvodne enote so prejele pomoč za dostop do zalog premoga.
These production units are mentioned in paragraph 21.
Te proizvodne enote so navedene v uvodni izjavi 21.
On the basis of the latest information received, the Commission therefore comes to the conclusion that the Spanish authorities have correctly divided the production aid in aid for the reduction of activity and aid for accessing coal reserves.
Komisija torej na podlagi zadnjih prejetih informacij sklepa, da so španske oblasti pravilno razdelile proizvodno pomoč na pomoč za zmanjševanje dejavnosti in pomoč za dostop do zalog premoga.
In addition, the Spanish authorities have confirmed that the condition laid down in Article 4(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002, which states that production units that receive aid for the reduction of activity will close down by 2007 at the latest, will be fulfilled.
Poleg tega so španske oblasti potrdile, da bo izpolnjen pogoj iz člena 4(a) Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002, da se bodo proizvodne enote, ki prejemajo pomoč za zmanjševanje dejavnosti, zaprle najpozneje do leta 2007.
Criteria to be applied
Merila, ki jih je treba uporabljati
The Commission takes note of the fact that concerning the criteria for eligibility for production aid, the Spanish authorities have informed the Commission that the main criterion that they will apply is the cost of production per tce.
Komisija je seznanjena z dejstvom, da bodo v zvezi z merili, ki jih je treba uporabljati za upravičenost do proizvodne pomoči, glavno merilo, ki ga bodo uporabljale španske oblasti, stroški proizvodnje na etp.
This criterion is in line with Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002, as it can be considered as a clear indication that the aid will be granted to the units with the best economic prospects.
To merilo je v skladu s členom 5 Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002, saj se lahko šteje kot jasen prikaz, da bo pomoč dodeljena enotam z najboljšimi gospodarskimi možnostmi.
As supplementary criteria, the Spanish authorities apply the criterion of the existence of a market, i.e. that there should be a functioning power station within a 100 km radius, and the solvency of the undertaking which owns the production unit.
Španske oblasti kot dodatni merili uporabljajo merilo obstoja trga, tj. znotraj območja s polmerom 100 km mora biti delujoča elektrarna, ter merilo plačilne sposobnosti podjetja, ki ima v lasti proizvodno enoto.
In this regard, a minimum proportion between the undertaking’s capital and total liabilities could be required.
V tej zvezi se lahko zahteva najnižje razmerje med lastnimi sredstvi in skupnimi obveznostmi podjetja.
The latter criterion will contribute to the granting of aid to the units with the best economic prospects.
Zadnje merilo bo prispevalo k dodeljevanju pomoči enotam z najboljšimi gospodarskimi možnostmi.
The former has to be used purely as a supplementary criterion.
Prejšnje merilo je treba uporabljati zgolj kot dodatno merilo.
Because of considerations of security of energy supply and also for financial reasons, as there is a link with the transport costs, the location can be taken into account, but must not be the main factor to be taken into consideration.
Z ozirom na varnost oskrbe z energijo in tudi iz finančnih razlogov, saj obstaja povezava s stroški prevoza, se lokacija sicer lahko upošteva, a ne sme biti glavni dejavnik.
Overall, the Commission considers that the criteria being applied by the Spanish authorities are in line with Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002.
V celoti gledano je Komisija mnenja, da so merila, ki jih uporabljajo španske oblasti, v skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 1407/2002.
Based on the information provided by the Spanish authorities, the Commission has checked the definition of ‘production unit’ as used in the restructuring plan.
Komisija je na podlagi informacij, ki so jih zagotovile španske oblasti, preverila opredelitev „proizvodne enote“, ki se uporablja v načrtu za prestrukturiranje.
In the past, Spain carried out the analysis of the aid at undertaking level, und underground coal workings were calculated together with opencast workings.
V preteklosti je Španija analizo pomoči opravljala na ravni podjetja in podzemna premogovna dela so se računala skupaj z deli na površini.
Spain has now changed this analysis and it checked the aid per production unit as defined in Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002.
Španija je zdaj to analizo spremenila in preverjala pomoč na proizvodno enoto, kot je opredeljena v Uredbi (ES) št. 1407/2002.
Furthermore, in this respect, Spain has provided the Commission in this respect with the information required by Decision 2002/871/EC.
Nadalje je Španija v tej zvezi Komisiji zagotovila informacije, zahtevane z Odločbo 2002/871/ES.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the definition of ‘production unit’ which Spain has used in its restructuring plan is in accordance with the Regulation.
Komisija je zato mnenja, da je opredelitev „proizvodne enote“, ki jo Španija uporablja v svojem načrtu za prestrukturiranje, v skladu z Uredbo.
The Commission takes note of the fact that the restructuring plan will result in a production capacity of 12 million tonnes.
Komisija je seznanjena z dejstvom, da bo posledica načrta za prestrukturiranje proizvodna zmogljivost 12 milijonov ton.
In view of the overall energy situation in Spain, in particular the intention of the Spanish authorities to reduce the share of coal in electricity production from 35,9 % to 15 % in 2011, the reduction of capacity to 12 million tonnes appears to be an appropriate measure which will help to reach that target.
Glede na splošne energetske razmere v Španiji, zlasti namere španskih oblasti, da zmanjšajo delež premoga pri proizvodnji elektrike s 35,9 % na 15 % v letu 2011, se zdi zmanjšanje zmogljivosti na 12 milijonov ton ustrezen ukrep, ki bo pomagal pri uresničitvi navedenega cilja.
Therefore, this level of production capacity, to be achieved by the end of 2005, can be considered as a strategic reserve in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002.
Zato se lahko ta raven proizvodne zmogljivosti, ki jo je treba doseči do konca leta 2005, v skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 1407/2002 šteje kot strateška zaloga.
Consequently, the production units that fall under the part of the restructuring plan that concerns access to coal reserves are presumably eligible for aid for accessing coal reserves, provided that the conditions in Article 4 and 5 of the Regulation are fulfilled.
Proizvodne enote, ki so sestavni del načrta za prestrukturiranje, ki zadeva dostop do zalog premoga, naj bi bile zaradi tega upravičene do pomoči za dostop do zalog premoga, če so izpolnjeni pogoji iz členov 4 in 5 Uredbe.
Furthermore, the main criterion and the cornerstone of the Regulation, that the aid has to be digressive, has been complied with.
Nadalje je izpolnjeno glavno merilo in temelj Uredbe, da mora biti pomoč degresivna.
The aid, granted under Articles 4 and 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002, has been reduced by 4 % annually.
Pomoč, dodeljena po členih 4 in 5 Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002, se zmanjšuje za 4 % letno.
The Commission considers that such a reduction can be accepted.
Komisija meni, da je tako zmanjševanje sprejemljivo.
The Commission has taken into account that the Spanish authorities have announced that it is intended to continue reducing the aid by 4 % annually for the years 2006 and 2007.
Komisija upošteva dejstvo, da so španske oblasti naznanile, da nameravajo v letih 2006 in 2007 pomoč še naprej zmanjševati pomoč za 4 % letno.
In view of the above, the Commission considers that the Spanish authorities have sufficiently clarified the criteria applicable to the production units for them to be eligible either for aid for the reduction of activity or aid for accessing coal reserves.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno je Komisija mnenja, da so španske oblasti v zadostni meri pojasnile merila, ki jih je treba upoštevati v zvezi s proizvodnimi enotami za upravičenost do pomoči za zmanjševanje dejavnosti ali pomoči za dostop do zalog premoga.
These criteria are in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002, in particular with Articles 4(a) and 9(6)(a) thereof.
Ta merila so v skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 1407/2002, zlasti s členom 4(a) in členom 9(6)(a) Uredbe.
In this respect, the Commission would remind the Spanish authorities that the social and regional situation cannot be taken into account when deciding on the strategic reserve to be maintained.
V zvezi s tem Komisija španske oblasti opominja, da pri odločanju glede ohranjanja strateške zaloge ni mogoče upoštevati socialnih in regionalnih razmer.
Social and region conditions can only be taken into account when applying the conditions linked to the granting of aid for the reduction of activity and aid to cover the exceptional costs of the restructuring process.
Socialne in regionalne razmere je mogoče upoštevati le ob uporabi pogojev, povezanih z dodeljevanjem pomoči za zmanjševanje dejavnosti in pomoči za kritje izrednih stroškov procesa prestrukturiranja.
Calculation of the revenues
Izračun prihodkov
The Spanish authorities have provided detailed information on coal prices.
Španske oblasti so zagotovile podrobne informacije o cenah premoga.
In the additional information provided by the Spanish government, it was explained that the State aid paid by the Spanish government was in fact the difference between the production costs and the average sales price of Spanish coal, which was lower than the average price of coal imported from third countries.
Z dodatnimi informacijami, ki jih je zagotovila španska vlada, je bilo pojasnjeno, da je državna pomoč, ki jo izplačuje španska vlada, dejansko razlika med proizvodnimi stroški in povprečno prodajno ceno španskega premoga, ki je nižja od povprečne cene premoga, uvoženega iz tretjih držav.
This is mainly due to the lower quality of Spanish coal and to a lesser extent also to the fact that the prices are determined in long-term contracts while the price of imported coal is a spot price of coal on a given day.
To je predvsem posledica slabše kakovosti španskega premoga in v manjši meri tudi dejstva, da so cene določene v dolgoročnih pogodbah, medtem ko je cena uvoženega premoga promptna cena premoga na določen dan.
The Spanish authorities have explained that in practice the influence of the variation between the international price and the price of national coal is delayed by approximately 9 months.
Španske oblasti so pojasnile, da v praksi nihanje mednarodne cene premoga vpliva na ceno domačega premoga s približno devetimi meseci zamika.
On the other hand, the quality of the coal appears to be substantially lower that that of the coal being traded on the international market.
Po drugi strani pa se zdi kakovost premoga precej slabša v primerjavi s kakovostjo premoga, s katerim se trguje na mednarodnem trgu.
This results in a much lower price for national coal.
Posledica tega je veliko nižja cena za domači premog.
The price paid differs per power plant, because coal mined at different units differs in quality.
Cene, ki jih plačujejo elektrarne, so različne, saj se premog, izkopan v različnih enotah, razlikuje po kakovosti.
For example, the calorific value of coal can vary between 7 % and 35 % depending on the site where it has been extracted.
Kalorična vrednost premoga se na primer lahko giblje med 7 % in 35 %, odvisno od nahajališča, kjer je izkopan.
In general Spanish coal is of inferior quality, because of high ash and water contents and/or due to a low volatile content.
V splošnem je španski premog zaradi visoke vsebnosti pepela in vode in/ali zaradi nizke vsebnosti hlapnih snovi slabše kakovosti.
There is no world market for low-quality coal, as all coal-producing countries use their low-quality coal close to the mining site.
Svetovnega trga za premog slabe kakovosti ni, saj vse države, ki proizvajajo premog, premog slabše kakovosti uporabljajo v bližini nahajališč.
The use of these types of coal in power plants generates higher investment and maintenance costs for the power plant owners, as not only do they have to install special burners, which are more expensive to maintain and use, but the efficiency of these power plants is also lower than the efficiency of plants using normal coal.
Uporaba takih vrst premoga v elektrarnah lastnikom elektrarn povzroča večje investicijske stroške in stroške vzdrževanja, saj morajo vgraditi posebne gorilnike, katerih vzdrževanje in uporaba sta dražja, poleg tega pa so te elektrarne manj učinkovite kot elektrarne, ki uporabljajo običajni premog.
The Spanish authorities have explained that it is not economically viable to improve the quality of the coal so much that it would become comparable to imported coal, as the production process would become much more expensive and less competitive.
Španske oblasti so pojasnile, da izboljšanje kakovosti premoga v tolikšni meri, da bi postal primerljiv z uvoženim premogom, ekonomsko ni izvedljivo, saj bi postal proizvodni postopek veliko dražji in manj konkurenčen.
Since 1998, the selling price of coal has been determined via direct negotiations between the coal-producing production units and the coal-fired power plants, without any intervention by the administration.
Od leta 1998 se prodajna cena premoga določa prek neposrednih pogajanj med proizvodnimi enotami, proizvajalkami premoga, in elektrarnami, porabnicami premoga, brez kakršnega koli posredovanja vlade.
The administration can intervene only in case of serious conflicts.
Vlada lahko posreduje le v primeru hudih sporov.
As evidence of the price paid to the coalmining companies, the Spanish authorities have provided the contracts between some electricity companies that have power plants fuelled with coal.
Španske oblasti so predložile pogodbe z nekaterimi energetskimi podjetji z elektrarnami na premog, da bi pokazale, kakšne cene se plačujejo premogovniškim podjetjem.
The calculation of the price of coal includes a formula with regard to the quality of coal in which, among others factors, content of volatile materials, ash, moisture and sulphur and the calorific value are taken into account.
Izračun cene premoga vsebuje formulo glede kakovosti premoga, v kateri so med drugim upoštevane vrednosti hlapnih snovi, pepela, vlage in žvepla ter kalorične vrednosti.
Coal prices in Spain are based on long-term contracts between the coalmining companies and their clients.
Cene premoga v Španiji temeljijo na dolgoročnih pogodbah med premogovniškimi podjetji in njihovimi strankami.
Prices CIF [15] in US dollars for each period of coal imports form third countries to the EU, expressed in US dollars/tce and published by the EU.
cene CIF [15] v ameriških dolarjih za vsako obdobje uvoza premoga iz tretjih držav v EU, ki so izražene v ameriških dolarjih/etp in jih objavi EU,
The exchange rate between the US dollar and the euro in the same period in order to establish the price CIF in US dollars in its equivalent in euro.
menjalni tečaj med ameriškim dolarjem in eurom v istem obdobju za določitev cene CIF v ameriških dolarjih v njenem ekvivalentu eurih.
The dollar/euro exchange rate rose from 0,8955 in 2001 to 1,25 in 2005.
Menjalni tečaj dolar/euro se je dvignil z 0,8955 leta 2001 na 1,25 leta 2005,
In order to determine the price at the power plant, the costs of transport between port and power plant is deducted from the resulting price in euro since the CIF price is the price to be paid for delivery in ports.
za določitev cene v elektrarni se od dobljene cene v eurih odštejejo stroški prevoza med pristaniščem in elektrarno, saj je cena CIF cena, ki jo je treba plačati za dostavo v pristanišča,
Finally, a quality correction, which is explained below, is applied.
nazadnje pa se uporabi popravek glede kakovosti, pojasnjen v nadaljevanju.
Spain calculates the average prices for imports of hard coal to Spain.
Španija izračuna povprečno ceno črnega premoga, uvoženega v Španijo.
The calculation of these average import prices is based on statistic data provided by coal-importing companies in Spain and coal exporting companies from third countries.
Izračun te povprečne uvozne cene temelji na statističnih podatkih, pridobljenih od podjetij v Španiji, uvoznikov premoga, in podjetij iz tretjih držav, izvoznikov premoga.
In order for this system to function properly, it is crucial that the prices calculated for hard coal do indeed reflect the world market price for coal.
Za pravilno delovanje tega sistema je ključnega pomena, da izračunana cena črnega premoga dejansko odraža ceno premoga na svetovnem trgu.
In order to verify this, the Commission compared this price to the MCIS Steam Coal Marker Prices, which is the standard reference index for the spot market prices for coal.
Da bi to preverila, je Komisija to ceno primerjala s priporočeno ceno energetskega premoga MCIS, ki je standardni referenčni indeks za promptno tržno ceno premoga.
The Spanish authorities explained the differences between the MCIS Steam Coal Marker Price and the average price as calculated by them by pointing out that the former is based solely on the contracts concluded on a given day in the spot market, whereas the price calculated by the authorities is based on all the contracts that are in force on a given day, including long-term contracts.
Španske oblasti so pojasnile razlike med priporočeno ceno energetskega premoga MCIS in povprečno ceno, ki so jo izračunale, s tem ko so poudarile, da prva cena temelji zgolj na pogodbah, sklenjenih na določen dan na promptnem trgu, medtem ko cena, ki jo izračunajo oblasti, temelji na vseh pogodbah, ki veljajo na določen dan, vključno z dolgoročnimi pogodbami.
As a result, the Spanish price tends to be lower than the spot price in periods of increasing spot prices and higher than the spot market price in periods of decreasing spot market prices.
Španska cena je zato običajno nižja od promptne cene v obdobjih naraščajočih promptnih cen in višja od promptne tržne cene v obdobjih padajočih promptnih tržnih cen.
The long-term average of the two indices is roughly equal: for the years 1996 to 2004, the average MCIS Steam Coal Marker Price was 43,3 euro/tce.
Dolgoletno povprečje obeh kazalcev je skoraj enako: za leta med 1996 in 2004 je bilo povprečje priporočene cene energetskega premoga MCIS 43,3 EUR/etp.
The Commission thus considers that the Spanish calculation of the price of hard coal does indeed accurately reflect the world market price for steam coal.
Komisija je zato menja, da španski izračun cene črnega premoga dejansko pravilno odraža ceno energetskega premoga na svetovnem trgu.
Based on the above-mentioned parameters, in 2001 the average price was EUR 45,85 and the forecast for 2005 was EUR 36. Revenues in 2001 were exceptionally high, mainly due to the gross accounting of some exceptional and atypical revenues for that year.
Glede na zgoraj navedene parametre je bila leta 2001 povprečna cena 45,85 EUR, predvidena povprečna cena za leto 2005 pa je 36 EUR. Prihodki v letu 2001 so bili izjemno visoki, zlasti zaradi bruto knjiženja nekaterih izjemnih in neobičajnih prihodkov za navedeno leto.
As a consequence, a reduction of 20 % in production costs has not resulted in an equal reduction of the total amount of production aid to be granted for the period 2003-2005.
Zmanjšanje proizvodnih stroškov za 20 % zato ni privedlo do enakega znižanja skupnega zneska proizvodne pomoči, ki naj bi se dodelil za obdobje 2003–2005.
The total aid is established after presentation by each production unit of its audit report, which contains the figures of the production costs and the revenues.
Skupna pomoč se določi, ko posamezna proizvodna enota predloži revizijsko poročilo, ki vsebuje vrednosti proizvodnih stroškov in prihodkov.
When afterwards at the end of a coal year it appears that the difference between production costs and revenues has been lower than forecasted, the total amount of aid will be reduced and the excessive aid will have to be reimbursed.
Če se potem ob koncu premogovnega leta izkaže, da je razlika med proizvodnimi stroški in prihodki manjša, kot je bilo predvideno, se bo skupni znesek pomoči znižal in čezmerno pomoč bo treba povrniti.
In the light of the foregoing, the Commission considers that Spain has explained in a detailed way how the revenues of the coalmining companies have been calculated.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno je Komisija mnenja, da je Španija podrobno pojasnila izračun prihodkov premogovniških podjetij.
The information provided has convinced the Commission that the right prices of coal have been used in the calculation of the revenues.
Z zagotovljenimi informacijami se je Komisija prepričala, da so bile pri izračunu prihodkov uporabljene prave cene.
