On the basis of the information provided, in particular the contracts between power plants and coalmining companies, the Commission has come to the conclusion that Article 4(b) and (c) of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002 have been respected in the sense that the production aid has not exceeded the difference between the production costs and the revenue for the respective years and the aid will not cause the prices of Community coal delivered to be lower than those for coal of a similar quality from third countries.
Na podlagi zagotovljenih informacij, zlasti pogodb med elektrarnami in premogovniškimi podjetji, Komisija sklepa, da je bil člen 4(b) in (c) Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002 upoštevan v smislu, da proizvodna pomoč ni presegla razlike med proizvodnimi stroški in prihodki za ustrezna premogovna leta in zaradi nje dobavne cene za premog Skupnosti ne bodo nižje od cen premoga podobne kakovosti iz tretjih držav.
The Commission will monitor closely to ensure that in the new contracts to be negotiated between power plants and coal-mining companies from 1 January 2006, the currently high world market price of coal will be duly taken into account in the calculation.
Komisija bo natančno preverjala, da bi zagotovila, da je v novih pogodbah, ki jih bodo s pogajanji sklenile elektrarne in premogovniška podjetja po 1. januarju 2006, pri izračunu ustrezno upoštevana trenutno visoka cena premoga na svetovnem trgu.
Finally, the Commission notes that the conditions laid down in Article 4(d) and (e) have also been respected.
Nazadnje pa Komisija ugotavlja, da so bili upoštevani tudi pogoji iz člena 4(d) in (e).
In its letter of 30 March 2004, the Commission considered that the Spanish authorities had not clarified the criteria to be taken into account when granting aid on the basis of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002 to cover exceptional costs that are not related to current production (inherited liabilities).
Komisija je v dopisu z dne 30. marca 2004 menila, da španske oblasti niso pojasnile meril, ki jih je treba upoštevati pri dodeljevanju pomoči na podlagi člena 7 Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002 za kritje izrednih stroškov, ki niso povezani s sedanjo proizvodnjo (obveznosti iz preteklosti).
By letter of 3 October 2003 Spain notified the Commission that these aids would be granted exclusively to production units which were to close in the period 2003-2005 and that the amount of aid would not exceed the costs.
Španija je z dopisom z dne 3. oktobra 2003 obvestila Komisijo, da se bodo te pomoči dodelile izključno proizvodnim enotam, ki se bodo zaprle v obdobju 2003–2005, in da znesek pomoči ne bo presegel stroškov.
However, Ministerial Order ECO/2731/2003 of 24 September 2003 did not explicitly contain these conditions.
Vendar Odredba ministra ECO/2731/2003 z dne 24. septembra 2003 ni izrecno vsebovala teh pogojev.
The Commission also noted that the amounts of aid based on this Article seemed to be very high and the question arose whether the proposed aid in this respect was not too high in relation to the intensity of the restructuring process.
Komisija je tudi ugotovila, da se zdijo zneski pomoči, ki temeljijo na tem členu, zelo visoki, in da se poraja vprašanje, ali predlagana pomoč v tem pogledu ni previsoka glede na intenzivnost procesa prestrukturiranja.
On the basis of the newly received information, the Commission notes that Ministerial Order ECO/2731/2003 has been amended in order to bring it into line with the requirements of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002.
Komisija na podlagi na novo prejetih informacij ugotavlja, da je bila Odredba ministra ECO/2731/2003 spremenjena, da bi jo uskladili z zahtevami člena 7 Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002.
In this respect, the Spanish authorities have declared that over 2004 they have granted less aid.
V zvezi s tem so španske oblasti izjavile, da so v letu 2004 dodelile manj pomoči.
Concerning 2004, the aid to cover exceptional costs actually granted amounted to EUR 518986 instead of the forecasted EUR 555227.
Kar zadeva leto 2004, je dejansko dodeljena pomoč za kritje izrednih stroškov namesto predvidenih 555227 EUR znašala 518986 EUR.
The Commission considers that Spain has given a sufficient explanation of the exceptional costs linked to the restructuring process to be covered.
Komisija meni, da je Španija v zadostni meri pojasnila izredne stroške, povezane s procesom prestrukturiranja, ki ga je treba kriti.
Spain has specified the amounts to be granted per category as mentioned in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002.
Španija je opredelila zneske, ki naj bi se dodelili za posamezne kategorije, navedene v Prilogi k Uredbi (ES) št. 1407/2002.
Therefore, the Commission has been able to check that the amounts, which are mainly linked to pre-retirement schemes, do not exceed the costs and the aid to cover the exceptional costs of the restructuring can be approved.
Komisija je zato lahko ugotovila, da zneski, ki so večinoma povezani s programi za predčasno upokojitev, ne presegajo stroškov, in da je pomoč za kritje izrednih stroškov prestrukturiranja mogoče odobriti.
Seen against the background of the reduction in workforce, the closure of mining capacity and the digressive trend of granting of production aid, the information provided by the Spanish authorities has convinced the Commission that the costs to be covered are not too high in relation to the intensity of the restructuring process.
Ob zmanjševanju delovne sile, zapiranju premogovniških zmogljivosti in padajočem trendu dodeljevanja proizvodne pomoči se je Komisija z informacijami, ki so jih zagotovile španske oblasti, prepričala, da stroški, ki jih je treba kriti, niso previsoki glede na intenzivnost procesa prestrukturiranja.
In the following chapter, a separate assessment will be made of the aid to cover the exceptional costs of the restructuring process granted to the publicly owned company Hunosa.
V naslednjem poglavju bo podana posebna ocena pomoči za kritje izrednih stroškov procesa prestrukturiranja, dodeljena Hunosi, podjetju v javni lasti.
Hunosa plan
Načrt za Hunoso
With regard to Hunosa the Commission underlined in its letter of 30 March 2004 that this company formed part of the closure plan that was based on Decision No 3632/93/ECSC.
V zvezi s Hunoso je Komisija v dopisu z dne 30. marca 2004 poudarila, da je to podjetje sestavni del načrta za zaprtje, ki temelji na Odločbi 3632/93/ESPJ.
The Commission considered that the reduction in workforce and in production were below the European average.
Komisija je menila, da je zmanjševanje delovne sile in proizvodnje pod evropskim povprečjem.
The Plan provides for the closure of two of the nine production units.
Načrt predvideva zaprtje dveh od devetih proizvodnih enot.
In its letter of 30 March 2004, the Commission considered that the proposal to reserve 30 % of the coal consumption (equivalent to approximately 100 days of consumption) for the power plants in the region, might be considered as incompatible with the common market with regard to Hunosa.
Komisija je v dopisu z dne 30. marca 2004 menila, da bo predlog, da podjetje Hunosa nudi zalogo premoga za 30-odstotno porabo (enako približno 100 dnem porabe) elektrarnam v svoji regiji, morda treba spoznati za nezdružljivega s skupnim trgom.
The restructuring process of Hunosa
Proces prestrukturiranja Hunose
The Spanish authorities have confirmed their intention of continuing the restructuring process of Hunosa in line with Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002 in order to reduce significantly the aid amounts, the production capacity and the workforce as required.
Španske oblasti so potrdile, da nameravajo v skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 1407/2002 nadaljevati proces prestrukturiranja Hunose z namenom znatnega znižanja zneskov pomoči, znatnega zmanjšanja proizvodne zmogljivosti in ustreznega zmanjšanja delovne sile.
These restructuring measures have to be assessed against the background of the social and regional importance of Hunosa in the Autonomous Community of Asturias.
Te ukrepe za prestrukturiranje je treba oceniti ob upoštevanju socialne in regionalne pomembnosti Hunose v avtonomni skupnosti Asturiji.
The Spanish authorities have provided the Commission with detailed information concerning the restructuring process of Hunosa, the costs and revenues, the prospects and the amounts of aid to be granted.
Španske oblasti so Komisiji zagotovile podrobne informacije glede procesa prestrukturiranja Hunose, stroškov in prihodkov, pričakovanj in zneskov pomoči, ki naj bi se dodelili.
The plan contains the following elements:
Načrt vsebuje naslednje elemente:
reduction of the workforce by 33,6 %;
zmanjšanje delovne sile za 33,6 %,
reduction of the production capacity by 25 % and the closure of two production units; Pumarabule and Figaredo (a reduction of 700000 tonnes);
zmanjšanje proizvodne zmogljivosti za 25 % in zaprtje dveh proizvodnih enot: Pumarabule in Figaredo (zmanjšanje za 700000 ton),
closing of a washery;
zaprtje pralnice,
increase of productivity by 21,4 %;
povečanje produktivnosti za 21,4 %,
reduction of production by 26,1 %;
zmanjšanje proizvodnje za 26,1 %,
reduction of the production costs by 20 %;
zmanjšanje proizvodnih stroškov za 20 %,
reduction of total aid by 25 % during the period 2003-2005, compared to a reduction of 12 % in the 4 previous years.
zmanjšanje skupne pomoči za 25 % v obdobju 2003–2005, v primerjavi z zmanjšanjem za 12 % v prejšnjih štirih letih.
Since 1986, the date of accession of Spain to the Community, the data concerning the restructuring process are as follows:
Po letu 1986, datumu pristopa Španije k Skupnosti, so podatki v zvezi s procesom prestrukturiranja naslednji:
71,9 % reduction in the workforce of the companies Hunosa and Minas de Figaredo, from 21911 workers in 1986 to 6151 in 2001;
zmanjšanje delovne sile za 71,9 % v podjetjih Hunosa in Minas de Figaredo, zmanjšanje števila delavcev z 21911 leta 1986 na 6151 leta 2001,
47,3 % reduction in production capacity with regard to underground mines;
zmanjšanje proizvodne zmogljivosti za 47,3 %, kar zadeva podzemno rudarjenje,
53,3 % reduction in production;
zmanjšanje proizvodnje za 53,3 %,
40 % reduction of the total amount of production aid since 1992 in current terms and 56 % in constant value;
po letu 1992 znižanje skupnega zneska proizvodne pomoči za 40 % pod sedanjimi pogoji in 56 % ob konstantni vrednosti.
During the period 1998-2004, the aid to Hunosa was reduced by 32 % (adjusted value), which is above average in the Spanish mining sector, where the overall reduction was 25,7 %.
V obdobju 1998–2004 je bila pomoč za Hunoso zmanjšana za 32 % (prilagojena vrednost), kar je nad povprečjem v španskem premogovništvu, saj je skupno zmanjšanje znašalo 25,7 %.
Since 1992, the total amounts of aid to Hunosa have been reduced by 54 % in adjusted value and 69 % in constant value.
Po letu 1992 so bili skupni zneski pomoči za Hunoso znižani za 54 % ob prilagojeni vrednosti in 69 % ob konstantni vrednosti.
The aid to cover exceptional costs of restructuring amounted to EUR 240689000, while the forecast was EUR 302557000, which means a reduction of 20,4 %.
Pomoč za kritje izrednih stroškov prestrukturiranja je znašala 240689000 EUR, medtem ko je bila predvidena pomoč 302557000 EUR, kar pomeni zmanjšanje za 20,4 %.
With regard to the year 2004, production fell to 1070000 million tonnes, which is a further reduction of 20 % with respect to the plan.
Kar zadeva leto 2004, je proizvodnja padla na 1070000 milijonov ton, kar je v primerjavi z načrtom dodatno zmanjšanje za 20 %.
By the end of 2004, the number of workers had fallen to 4137.
Do konca leta 2004 se je število delavcev zmanjšalo na 4137.
The total amount of production aid actually granted in 2004 was EUR 254682, instead of the forecasted EUR 247483, a further reduction of 2,8 %.
Skupni znesek proizvodne pomoči, dejansko dodeljen v letu 2004, je namesto predvidenih 247483 EUR znašal 254682 EUR, kar je dodatno zmanjšanje za 2,8 %.
At the end of 2005, a workforce of 3500 is expected.
Ob koncu leta 2005 je pričakovano število osebja 3500.
This is a reduction of 14 %, which goes beyond the plan.
To je 14-odstotno zmanjšanje, kar presega okvire načrta.
The fact that the production costs for Hunosa are so high is mainly due to the physical characteristics of the mines.
Dejstvo, da so proizvodni stroški Hunose tako visoki, gre pripisati predvsem fizičnim značilnostim rudnikov.
The density of coal is very low, so for mining a large area has to be covered which requires a high level of infrastructure.
Gostota premoga je precej nizka, zato je potrebno za izkopavanje zajeti veliko območje, to pa zahteva visoko raven infrastrukture.
Because of this low density, which is also irregular, mechanisation is difficult.
Zaradi te nizke gostote premoga, ki je hkrati neenakomerno porazdeljen, je mehanizacija težavna.
Moreover, the restructuring process, in particular the significant reduction of the workforce and the large number of workers being retired early does not contribute to the optimisation of production costs.
Poleg tega pa proces prestrukturiranja, zlasti znatno zmanjševanje delovne sile in veliko število delavcev, poslanih v predčasno upokojitev, ne prispeva k optimizaciji proizvodnih stroškov.
Nevertheless, Hunosa has achieved a reduction in production costs by improving management and focusing production in the units where mechanisation and technical mining were easiest to achieve with the lowest costs.
Hunosa je vseeno dosegla znižanje proizvodnih stroškov z izboljšanjem upravljanja in usmeritvijo proizvodnje v enote, v katerih je mogoče z najnižjimi stroški najlaže poskrbeti za mehanizacijo in tehnično gledano izkopavanje.
Thanks to the use of other tools, the mechanisation and computerisation currently under way and the modernisation of installations and production processes, productivity has improved.
Z uporabo drugih orodij, mehanizacije in z uvajanjem računalniške opreme, z modernizacijo objektov in proizvodnih postopkov je bila izboljšana produktivnost.
This approach will lead to a further reduction of production costs in the future.
Ta pristop bo v prihodnosti privedel k nadaljnjemu zmanjševanju proizvodnih stroškov.
In 2001 the average revenue was much higher than the average revenue in 2005, which was EUR 37/tec.
Leta 2001 je bil povprečni prihodek veliko višji od povprečnega prihodka leta 2005, ki je znašal 37 EUR/etp.
The Spanish authorities have provided detailed explanations with regard to these revenues of Hunosa.
V zvezi s temi prihodki za Hunoso so španske oblasti zagotovile podrobna pojasnila.
The price is established in long-term contracts, to a large extent freely negotiated between Hunosa and its clients, in a liberalised market.
Cena je določena v dolgoročnih pogodbah, v veliki meri s prostimi pogajanji med Hunoso in njenimi strankami, na liberaliziranem trgu.
On the basis of the newly-received information, the Commission considers that the apparent contradiction between the significant efforts made to reduce costs and the less significant degression in production aid basically arose from changes in income as a result of international prices for imported coal and the dollar/euro exchange rate.
Komisija na podlagi na novo prejetih informacij meni, da očitno nasprotje med znatnim prizadevanjem za zmanjšanje stroškov in manj znatnim zmanjšanjem proizvodne pomoči izhaja predvsem iz sprememb v prihodkih kot posledica mednarodnih cen za uvožen premog in menjalnega tečaja dolar/euro.
Aid to Hunosa for reduction of activity
Pomoč Hunosi za zmanjševanje dejavnosti
The aid granted in the past for the reduction of activity concerns the production units of Hunosa that have been closed.
Pomoč, dodeljena v preteklosti za zmanjševanje dejavnosti, se nanaša na proizvodne enote Hunose, ki so se zaprle.
In this respect, the Commission considers that, also as regards Hunosa, previous Commission decisions have been respected.
V zvezi s tem Komisija meni, da so bile, tudi pri Hunosi, upoštevane prejšnje odločbe Komisije.
Aid to Hunosa for accessing coal reserves
Pomoč Hunosi za dostop do zalog premoga
The Hunosa Plan provides for the closure of the Pumarabule and Figaredo mines, which means an irreversible reduction of capacity by 700000 tonnes.
Načrt za Hunoso predvideva zaprtje rudnikov Pumarabule in Figaredo, kar pomeni trajno zmanjšanje zmogljivosti za 700000 ton.
The Commission understands that the other production plans can be assumed to form part of the plan for accessing coal reserves.
Komisija sklepa, da naj bi bili drugi proizvodni načrti sestavni del načrta za dostop do zalog premoga.
In order to explain why the production of Hunosa forms part of the plan for accessing coal reserves, the Spanish authorities refer to the accessibility of the reserves from a technical viewpoint, the demand of the power plants located nearby, the quality of the coal and the needs of power plants equipped with technical installations suited to the quality of the coal produced at Hunosa.
Da bi pojasnile, zakaj je proizvodnja Hunose sestavni del načrta za dostop do zalog premoga, se španske oblasti sklicujejo na dostopnost do zalog s tehničnega stališča, povpraševanje bližnjih elektrarn, kakovost premoga in potrebo elektrarn, opremljenih s tehničnimi objekti in napravami, ki ustrezajo kakovosti premoga, proizvedenega v Hunosi.
The Commission notes that Spain has abandoned the criterion of a 100-day supply for the nearest power plant.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je Španija opustila merilo 100-dnevne oskrbe najbližje elektrarne.
As explained by the Spanish authorities, this was merely a hypothetical example and was never meant to be used as a criterion.
Kot so pojasnile španske oblasti, je bil to le hipotetični primer, ki ga niso nikoli nameravale uporabiti kot merilo.
However, the fact that it is an example does not detract from the fact that the Spanish authorities have taken the decision that Hunosa’s reserves should cover a certain percentage of the demand of the power plants located in the same area.
Vendar kljub temu, da je to le primer, to ne vpliva na dejstvo, da so se španske oblasti odločile, da morajo zaloge Hunose kriti določen delež povpraševanja elektrarn, ki se nahajajo na istem območju.
In view of the flexibility of this criterion, the Commission notes that the Spanish authorities can be expected not to infringe the free movement of goods.
Glede na prilagodljivost tega merila Komisija ugotavlja, da se lahko od španskih oblasti pričakuje, da ne bodo kršile prostega pretoka blaga.
Following the reasoning of the Spanish authorities, the Commission considers that the production of approximately 1 million tonnes in 2005 can be considered to form part of the strategic reserve of coal production the Spanish authorities would like to maintain.
Po argumentiranju španskih oblasti Komisija meni, da se proizvodnja približno 1 milijona ton v letu 2005 lahko šteje kot sestavni del strateške zaloge proizvodnje premoga, ki bi jo španske oblasti rade ohranile.
The Commission agrees with the Spanish analysis that the 2003-2005 Hunosa Plan constitutes a transitional but essential means of determining at a later stage the production units which will be included in the new plan for the period 2006-2010 concerning accessing coal reserves.
Komisija se strinja s špansko analizo, da načrt za Hunoso za obdobje 2003–2005 pomeni začasno, a bistveno sredstvo za poznejšo določitev proizvodnih enot, ki bodo vključene v novem načrtu glede dostopa do zalog premoga za obdobje 2006–2010.
In view of the significant reduction of both production and amount of aid, the plan is in accordance with the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002 and constitutes a useful basis for continuing the restructuring process.
Glede na znatno zmanjšanje proizvodnje in zneska pomoči je načrt v skladu s pogoji, določenimi v Uredbi (ES) št. 1407/2002, in pomeni dobro podlago za nadaljevanje procesa prestrukturiranja.
Aid to cover exceptional costs of the restructuring process to Hunosa
Pomoč za kritje izrednih stroškov procesa prestrukturiranja Hunose
The Spanish authorities have provided detailed information concerning the aid to cover the exceptional costs of the restructuring process, referred to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002, and have broken down the costs into technical and social costs as shown in the table below.
Španske oblasti so zagotovile podrobne informacije glede pomoči za kritje izrednih stroškov procesa prestrukturiranja iz člena 7 Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002 in stroške razčlenile na tehnične ter socialne stroške, kakor je prikazano v spodnji razpredelnici.
(EUR thousand)

Celotni socialni stroški
Hunosa’s forecasts concerning pre-retirements for the period 2002-2005 are for 2622 workers with a cost of approximately EUR 417000 each.
Napovedi Hunose v zvezi s predčasnim upokojevanjem za obdobje 2002–2005 so 2622 delavcev in strošek približno 417000 EUR na osebo.
In accordance with Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002, the Commission has taken account of the fact that in the affected area, Hunosa provides 20 % of direct employment and that it is difficult to create alternative employment as 18000 jobs have already been created since 1986.
V skladu s členom 1 Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002 je Komisija upoštevala dejstvo, da Hunosa na prizadetem območju zagotavlja 20 % neposrednih zaposlitev in da je težko ustvariti alternativne zaposlitve, saj je od leta 1986 zaposlila že 18000 delavcev.
Hunosa is economically and socially very important for the Autonomous Community of Asturias.
Hunosa je gospodarsko in socialno zelo pomembna za avtonomno skupnost Asturijo.
The Commission understands that Spain needs time to develop other alternative economic activities in the region.
Komisija razume, da Španija potrebuje čas za razvoj dodatnih alternativnih gospodarskih dejavnosti v regiji.
On the basis of the information provided by the Spanish authorities, the Commission considers that this aid fulfils the conditions of Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002.
Komisija na podlagi informacij, ki so ji jih zagotovile španske oblasti, meni, da ta pomoč izpolnjuje pogoje člena 7 Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002.
The aid covers the measures mentioned in the Annex to the Regulation and does not exceed the costs.
Pomoč zajema ukrepe, navedene v Prilogi k Uredbi, in ne presega stroškov.
Hiring new employees
Zaposlovanje novih uslužbencev
According to the information provided by Spain, it appears that in the period 2003-2005 no new recruitment of miners took place.
Iz informacij, ki jih je zagotovila Španija, je razvidno, da v obdobju 2003–2005 ni prišlo do zaposlitve novih rudarjev.
The Commission is satisfied with this approach and reminds the Spanish authorities that this is an important factor when assessing the compatibility of the restructuring measures, both now and in the future.
Komisija je zadovoljna s tem pristopom in španske oblasti opominja, da je to pomemben dejavnik pri ocenjevanju združljivosti ukrepov za prestrukturiranje, zdaj in v prihodnosti.
Conclusion on Hunosa’s restructuring plan
Sklepne ugotovitve glede načrta za prestrukturiranje Hunose
The Commission considers that Hunosa has made significant efforts to restructure and that, in this stage, in view of its social and regional importance, it would not be reasonable to ask for stricter measures.
Komisija meni, da je Hunosa vložila precejšnje napore v prestrukturiranje in da v tej fazi glede na socialno in regionalno pomembnost Hunose ne bi bilo razumno zahtevati strožjih ukrepov.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that the restructuring plan for Hunosa is in accordance with the purpose and provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002.
Komisija zato sklepa, da je načrt za prestrukturiranje Hunose v skladu z namenom in določbami Uredbe (ES) št. 1407/2002.
