As Portugal explained that, due to the use of iso-cracking technology, the production of these residues is almost insignificant (see recital 183), the Commission does not take hydrocracking residues into account as a product concerned.
Ker je Portugalska pojasnila, da je proizvodnja teh ostankov zaradi uporabe tehnologije iso-krekinga skoraj nepomembna (glej uvodno izjavo 183), Komisija ostankov hidrokrekinga ne obravnava kot zadevni proizvod.
In the opening decision, the Commission expressed doubts as to whether diesel and naphtha were the only products concerned, pointing to the fact that naphtha may be considered an intermediate product within the meaning of paragraph 69 of the RAG, and that naphtha derivatives could be products deemed concerned for which the tests under paragraph 68(a) and (b) might have to be carried out.
Komisija je v sklepu o začetku postopka izrazila pomisleke glede tega, ali sta bila dizelsko gorivo in nafta edina zadevna proizvoda, kar kaže na dejstvo, da se lahko nafta obravnava kot polizdelek v smislu odstavka 69 Smernic in da bi lahko bili naftni derivati proizvodi, ki se štejejo za zadevne in za katere bi se morda morali izvesti testi iz odstavka 68(a) in (b).
Portugal submitted the following explanations:
Portugalska je predložila naslednje obrazložitve:
The term naphtha covers both heavy and light naphtha; heavy and light naphtha are not substitutable, neither in their production, nor in their uses.
izraz nafta zajema težko in lahko nafto; težka in lahka nafta nista nadomestljivi niti v njuni proizvodnji niti pri uporabi,
Heavy naphtha is a product which is used as feedstock in refining processes and in the production of a very wide range of chemical products, not only in the production of aromatics.
težka nafta je proizvod, ki se uporablja kot surovina v postopkih rafiniranja in v proizvodnji široke palete kemičnih proizvodov, ne samo v proizvodnji aromatov,
The investment project leads to the additional production of heavy naphtha in Sines: the Sines refinery heavy naphtha production is increased by [200-250] Ktonnes per year.
naložbeni projekt vodi do dodatne proizvodnje težke nafte v Sinesu: proizvodnja težke nafte v rafineriji v Sinesu se poveča za [200–250] kiloton na leto,
The largest part of the heavy naphtha produced in the Sines refinery is transported to Petrogal’s refinery in Matosinhos where it is processed, together with heavy naphtha imported from other countries and heavy naphtha produced in Matosinhos itself ([650-700] Ktonne on average in 2007-09), to reformer [62].
največji del težke nafte, proizvedene v rafineriji v Sinesu, se transportira v Petrogalovo rafinerijo v Matosinhosu, kjer se skupaj s težko nafto, uvoženo iz drugih držav, in težko nafto, proizvedeno v samem Matosinhosu (povprečno [650–700] kiloton v obdobju 2007–2009), predela v reformer [62].
The total heavy naphtha volume used in the Matosinhos refinery to produce reformer is [1000-1050] tonnes (on average in 2007-09).
Skupna količina težke nafte, ki se v rafineriji v Matosinhosu porabi za proizvodnjo reformerja, znaša [1000–1050] ton (povprečje iz obdobja 2007–2009),
Of the total additional production of [200-250] Ktonne of heavy naphtha in Sines, [100-150] Ktonne on are transported to Matosinhos (the remainder is reused as feedstock in the Sines hydrocracking process) to replace [100-150] Ktonne of imported heavy naphtha; the import volume of [250-300] Ktonne before the investment is reduced to [100-150] Ktonne, namely by [50-60] %.
od skupne dodatne proizvodnje težke nafte v Sinesu, ki znaša [200–250] kiloton, se [100–150] kiloton transportira v Matosinhos (preostanek se ponovno uporabi kot surovina pri hidrokrekingu v Sinesu), da se nadomesti [100–150] kiloton uvožene težke nafte; uvožena količina, ki je pred naložbo znašala [250–300] kiloton, se zmanjša na [100–150] kiloton, tj. za [50–60] %,
92 % of imports of heavy naphtha in 2009 originated from outside the EEA, 8 % from the EEA [63].
leta 2009 je bilo 92 % težke nafte uvožene iz držav zunaj EGP, 8 % pa iz EGP [63],
The own production capacity of the Matosinhos refinery of heavy naphtha (average production 2007-09: [650-700] Ktonne) is not changed by the investment project.
naložbeni projekt ne spremeni lastne proizvodne zmogljivosti rafinerije v Matosinhosu pri proizvodnji težke nafte (povprečna proizvodnja v obdobju 2007–2009: [650–700] kiloton),
Reformer is an intermediate product for the production of aromatics.
reformer je polizdelek za proizvodnjo aromatov,
The production capacity of reformer is not changed by the investment.
naložba ne spremeni proizvodne zmogljivosti reformerja,
The reformer produced in Matosinhos is used as feedstock to Petrogal’s Matosinhos aromatics plant.
reformer, proizveden v Matosinhosu, se uporablja kot surovina v Petrogalovem obratu za proizvodnjo aromatov v Matosinhosu,
The aromatics plant produces a wide range of primary aromatics or naphtha derivatives, in particular benzene, toluene, orthoxylene, paraxylene and solvents.
v obratu za proizvodnjo aromatov se proizvaja več vrst primarnih aromatov ali naftnih derivatov, zlasti benzen, toluen, ortoksilen, paraksilen in topila,
The production capacity of the aromatics plant (sales average in 2007-09: [400-450] Ktonne) is not changed by the investment project and no extension is planned.
naložbeni projekt ne spremeni proizvodne zmogljivosti obrata za proizvodnjo aromatov (povprečna prodaja v obdobju 2007–2009: [400–450] kiloton) in načrtovana ni nobena širitev,
The aromatics plant is an independent business unit; the internal price for heavy naphtha is, and will be after the investment, the import price of heavy naphtha.
obrat za proizvodnjo aromatov je neodvisna poslovna enota; notranja cena za težko nafto je uvozna cena težke nafte in tako bo ostalo tudi po naložbi.
The sales price of the reformer to the aromatics plant is, and will be after the investment, calculated as [10-20] % of import parity of naphtha (CIF NEW) and [80-90] % of gasoline export parity (RBOB USA), and transport costs of Sines to Porto.
Prodajna cena reformerja za obrat za proizvodnjo aromatov se izračuna z [10–20] % paritete uvoza nafte (CIF NEW) in [80–90] % paritete izvoza bencina (RBOB USA) ter stroški prevoza iz Sinesa do Porta, tako pa bo ostalo tudi po naložbi,
The raw material costs (heavy naphtha) represented some [90-100] % of the total production costs of the aromatics production.
stroški surovin (težke nafte) so predstavljali približno [90–100] % skupnih proizvodnih stroškov proizvodnje aromatov.
The additional production of heavy naphtha in Sines represents some 14 % of the total heavy naphtha processed to reformer.
Dodatna proizvodnja težke nafte v Sinesu predstavlja približno 14 % skupne težke nafte, predelane v reformer,
The primary aromatics are sold on the market to the petrochemical industry, at market prices; Petrogal, with a market share below [0-5] %, is a price taker on the EEA aromatics market.
primarni aromati se na trgu po tržnih cenah prodajajo petrokemični industriji; Petrogal, katerega tržni delež je manjši od [0–5] %, se prilagaja cenam na trgu aromatov EGP.
The total turnover of Petrogal’s aromatics plant amounted to some EUR [ ] million in 2009. After the completion of the investment, [ ] % of the turnover (some EUR [ ] million on the basis of the 2009 turnover) would result from heavy naphtha additionally produced in Sines.
Skupni promet Petrogalovega obrata za proizvodnjo aromatov je leta 2009 znašal približno [ ] milijonov EUR. Po končani naložbi bi [ ] % prometa (približno [ ] milijonov EUR na podlagi prometa iz leta 2009) izhajalo iz težke nafte, ki bi bila proizvedena v Sinesu.
The Commission notes that Competitor No 1 considers that heavy naphtha is an intermediate product and that the assessment should include naphtha derivatives as products concerned.
Komisija ugotavlja, da konkurent št. 1 meni, da je težka nafta polizdelek in da bi naftni derivati kot zadevni proizvodi morali biti vključeni v oceno.
To decide whether the paragraph 68(a) and (b) test have to be carried out for the naphtha derivatives, it is necessary to give an interpretation to the wording of paragraph 69 of the RAG.
Za sprejetje odločitve o tem, ali je treba za naftne derivate izvesti teste iz odstavka 68(a) in (b), je potrebna razlaga besedila iz odstavka 69 Smernic.
Paragraph 69 stipulates that the product concerned may be the downstream product when the product of the investment is an intermediate product, and a significant part of its output is not sold on the market.
Odstavek 69 določa, da je zadevni proizvod izdelek v nadaljnjem proizvodnem procesu, če je proizvod iz naložbe polizdelek in pomemben del proizvodnje ni prodan na trgu.
This wording aims at situations where the distortive effect of the aid on competitors is not felt, or only partially felt, on the market of the intermediate product, and is transferred to the final product market.
To besedilo se nanaša na primere, v katerih se izkrivljajoči učinek pomoči na konkurente na trgu polizdelkov ne občuti ali se občuti le delno in je prenesen na trg končnih proizvodov.
On the basis of the information given by Portugal on the definition of the products concerned, the Commission considers that the aid neither affects the production volumes, nor the production costs, nor the price setting behaviour of Petrogal’s aromatics plant.
Komisija na podlagi informacij o opredelitvi zadevnih proizvodov, ki jih je posredovala Portugalska, meni, da pomoč ne vpliva niti na proizvodne količine niti na proizvodne stroške niti na določanje cen s strani Petrogalovega obrata za proizvodnjo aromatov.
In addition, the quantity of additional heavy naphtha produced in Sines is only of minor importance, compared to the overall quantity of heavy naphtha used to produce reformer.
Poleg tega je količina dodatno proizvedene težke nafte v Sinesu v primerjavi s skupno količino težke nafte, ki se porabi v proizvodnji reformerja, manj pomembna.
The Commission therefore considers that the aromatics markets are not, or only indirectly very insignificantly (via an indirect reduction of the naphtha import price, see subsequent section) affected by the aid for the investment project.
Zato Komisija meni, da pomoč za naložbeni projekt ne vpliva na trge aromatov oziroma nanje vpliva le posredno v precej zanemarljivem obsegu (prek posrednega znižanja uvozne cene nafte, glej naslednji oddelek).
The Commission, therefore, considers that it is not appropriate to carry out the paragraph 68(a) and (b) tests for the aromatics markets.
Zato Komisija meni, da za trge aromatov ni primerno izvesti testov iz odstavka 68(a) in (b).
At the same time, the Commission considers that the aid may affect the naphtha market, in so far as the investment project allows substituting imports and forces suppliers to find other outlets on the heavy naphtha market.
Komisija hkrati meni, da lahko pomoč vpliva na trg nafte, če naložbeni projekt omogoča nadomestitev uvoza in dobavitelje prisili, da na trgu težke nafte poiščejo drugo tržišče.
The Commission therefore carried out the paragraph 68(a) and (b) tests with regard to heavy naphtha as a product concerned.
Zato je Komisija v zvezi s težko nafto kot zadevnim proizvodom izvedla teste iz odstavka 68(a) in (b).
Paragraph 69 of the RAG specifies that the relevant product market includes the product concerned and its substitutes considered to be such either by the consumer (by reason of the product’s characteristics, prices and intended use) or by the producer (through flexibility of the production installations).
Odstavek 69 Smernic podrobno določa, da zadevni proizvodni trg zajema zadevni proizvod in njegove nadomestke, ki jih tako obravnavajo potrošniki (zaradi lastnosti, cen in nameravane uporabe proizvoda) ali proizvajalec (zaradi prožnosti proizvodnih objektov).
In the opening decision, the Commission could not conclude on the relevant market for the product(s) concerned, due to difficulties to identify definitely the list of products concerned.
Komisija v sklepu o začetku postopka zaradi težav pri dokončni opredelitvi seznama zadevnih proizvodov ni mogla ugotoviti, kateri je upoštevni trg za zadevne proizvode.
In the opening decision, the Commission concluded that there were no substitutes for diesel from the consumer side.
Komisija je v sklepu o začetku postopka ugotovila, da s strani potrošnikov ni bilo nobenih nadomestkov dizelskega goriva.
However, there were doubts on the supply side as to substitutability in the production of diesel, as flexibility of the production installations could lead to produce other types of products (mainly gasoline) by changing the refineries’ configurations.
Vendar so na strani ponudbe obstajali pomisleki glede nadomestljivosti v proizvodnji dizelskega goriva, saj bi lahko prožnost proizvodnih objektov s spremembo konfiguracije rafinerij privedla do proizvajanja drugih vrst proizvodov (v glavnem bencina).
In order to dispel these doubts, Portugal argued that the Commission merger decision [64] quoted by the Commission, referred to a different context when the unbalance between the supply and the demand in the gasoline and the diesel markets was much less important than it is nowadays and because of that the level of flexibility at the switch level between the production of these two products was still available.
Da bi odpravila te dvome, je Portugalska trdila, da se je sklep Komisije o združljivosti [64], ki ga je citirala Komisija, nanašal na drugačen kontekst, v okviru katerega je bilo neravnovesje med ponudbo in povpraševanjem na trgih bencina in dizelskega goriva precej manj pomembno kot je dandanes, zaradi česar je bila raven prožnosti na ravni prehoda med proizvodnjo navedenih proizvodov še vedno na razpolago.
However, according to Portugal from 2000, with the important increase of diesel demand those choice levels ended and nowadays there is no additional capacity to meet the demand.
Vendar so bile po mnenju Portugalske z letom 2000, ko je povpraševanje po dizelskem gorivu bistveno naraslo, te ravni izbire odpravljene, dandanes pa ni nobene dodatne zmogljivosti za zadovoljitev povpraševanja.
Whilst this explanation does not entirely exclude the possibility that diesel production facilities could be used for the production of gasoline, it seems unrealistic to assume that an undertaking could spend more than EUR 1 billion to increase its capacity to produce gasoline whilst an oversupply exists in Europe for the production of this commodity.
Čeprav obrazložitev v celoti ne izključuje možnosti, da bi se lahko objekti za proizvodnjo dizelskega goriva uporabljali za proizvodnjo bencina, je domneva, da bi lahko podjetje porabilo več kot 1 milijardo EUR za povečanje svoje zmogljivosti za proizvodnjo bencina, medtem ko je ponudba v proizvodnji navedenega proizvoda v Evropi prevelika, nerealna.
Various studies [65] point to the decline in the demand for gasoline and residual fuel oil and an increase in the demand for diesel in the European motor fuel market.
Različne študije [65] kažejo na upad povpraševanja po bencinu in preostalem kurilnem olju ter na povečanje povpraševanja po dizelskem gorivu na evropskem trgu motornega goriva.
This shift in demand patterns has left refineries producing excess volumes of products which are declining in demand, and value, and insufficient volumes of product with growing demand and value [66].
Ta preobrat v vzorcih povpraševanja je bil prekinjen v rafinerijah, ki proizvajajo čezmerno količino proizvodov, katerih povpraševanje in vrednost upadata, ter nezadostno količino proizvodov, katerih povpraševanje in vrednost naraščata [66].
The consumption of gasoline in Europe is projected to fall significantly over the period 2010 to 2030, as a result of the switch from gasoline cars to diesels cars and the introduction of alternative sources of energy.
Napoveduje se, da bo potrošnja bencina v Evropi v obdobju 2010–2030 znatno padla zaradi prehoda z avtomobilov z bencinskim motorjem na avtomobile z dizelskim motorjem in uvedbe alternativnih virov energije.
Available studies indicate also that the demand for gasoline will decrease due to the use of more energy efficient cars in the USA (main export market for the European surplus) and the expected future role of electric cars.
Razpoložljive študije tudi kažejo, da bo povpraševanje po bencinu upadlo zaradi energetsko učinkovitejših avtomobilov v ZDA (glavni izvozni trg za evropski presežek) in pričakovane prihodnje vloge električnih avtomobilov.
Therefore, the Commission considers that in this specific case, for the type of investment and in light of the medium-term trend of the product market, the product concerned, also from the supply side, should be considered to be diesel.
Zato Komisija meni, da je treba v tem posebnem primeru glede na vrsto naložbe in srednjeročno gibanje proizvodnega trga kot zadevni proizvod, tudi s strani ponudbe, obravnavati dizelsko gorivo.
Naphtha and naphtha derivatives
Nafta in naftni derivati
In line with the discussion of the products concerned, the second relevant product market to be discussed is the market for heavy naphtha.
V skladu z razpravo o zadevnih proizvodih je drug upoštevni proizvodni trg, ki ga je treba obravnavati, trg težke nafte.
In the Sines refinery, heavy naphtha production is a by-product of the diesel production, the driver of the investment.
Proizvodnja težke nafte v rafineriji v Sinesu je stranski produkt proizvodnje dizelskega goriva, ki je gonilo naložbe.
Heavy naphtha is used in the production of a very wide range of chemical products, not only in the production of aromatics.
Težka nafta se uporablja v proizvodnji široke palete kemičnih proizvodov, ne samo v proizvodnji aromatov.
In its general uses, it cannot be replaced by any substitutes.
Pri njeni splošni uporabi je ni mogoče nadomestiti z nobenimi nadomestki.
The Commission therefore considers the market of heavy naphtha to be the relevant product market with regard to paragraph 68(a) and (b) tests.
Zato Komisija ob upoštevanju testov iz odstavka 68(a) in (b) trg težke nafte obravnava kot upoštevni proizvodni trg.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the relevant product markets with regard to paragraph 68(a) and (b) tests, are the product markets for diesel and heavy naphtha.
Zato Komisija meni, da sta upoštevna proizvodna trga glede na teste iz odstavka 68(a) in (b) proizvodna trga za dizelsko gorivo in težko nafto.
For information purposes, data will also be given for naphtha derivatives.
V informativne namene bodo posredovani tudi podatki za naftne derivate.
Level at which the market assessment has to be carried out
Raven, na kateri je treba izvesti oceno trga
In the opening decision, the Commission could not conclude on the question of whether these markets should be assessed at the level of ex-refinery, non-retail or retail.
Komisija v sklepu o začetku postopka ni mogla sprejeti končne odločitve v zvezi z vprašanjem o tem, ali bi bilo treba trge oceniti na ravni prejšnje rafinerije, prodaje na drobno ali prodaje na debelo.
Competitors No 1 and No 2 consider that the relevant product market should be extended to retail and non-retail diesel sales (see recitals 93 and 116).
Konkurenta št. 1 in št. 2 menita, da je treba upoštevni proizvodni trg razširiti na prodajo dizelskega goriva na drobno in debelo (glej uvodni izjavi 93 in 116).
Portugal considers that, for State aid cases, the correct level of assessment is the ex-refinery level.
Portugalska meni, da je v primerih državne pomoči ustrezna raven ocene raven prejšnje rafinerije.
The provisions of the RAG do not specify at which level the paragraph 68(a) and (b) tests, and in particular the test under paragraph 68(a) of the RAG, should be carried out.
Določbe Smernic ne opredeljujejo ravni, na kateri je treba izvesti teste iz odstavka 68(a) in (b) ter zlasti test iz odstavka 68(a) Smernic.
Depending on the issue to be analysed, and the underlying theory of harm, competition policy assesses the competitive situation of markets at different levels, manufacturing, distribution (non-retail) and retail.
Glede na vprašanje, ki ga je treba analizirati, in temeljno teorijo o škodi politika konkurence ocenjuje konkurenčni položaj trgov na različnih ravneh, in sicer predelave, distribucije (prodaje na debelo) in prodaje na drobno.
Market players are, for example for the car sector, consumers and individual car traders for the retail level, car traders and distributors for the non-retail level, and distributors and manufacturers for the manufacturing level.
Akterji na trgu, na primer v avtomobilski industriji, so potrošniki in posamezni trgovci z avtomobili na ravni prodaje na drobno, trgovci z avtomobili in distributerji na ravni prodaje na debelo ter distributerji in izdelovalci na ravni predelave.
For the products concerned by this Decision, market players are, for example, car owners and petrol stations for the retail market, petrol stations and distributors for the non-retail market, and refineries and distributors for the ex-refinery market.
Akterji na trgu v zvezi s proizvodi, ki jih zadeva ta sklep, so, na primer, lastniki avtomobilov in bencinske postaje za trg na drobno, bencinske postaje in distributerji za trg na debelo ter rafinerije in distributerji za trg na ravni prejšnje rafinerije.
The manufacturing level corresponds in this Decision to the ex-refinery level.
Raven predelave v tem sklepu ustreza ravni prejšnje rafinerije.
Portugal confirmed that the ex-refinery market is equivalent to the total diesel market.
Portugalska je potrdila, da je trg na ravni prejšnje rafinerije enakovreden skupnemu trgu dizelskega goriva.
The main purpose of the control of investment aid is not to protect consumers (or traders) against undesirable consequences of anti-competitive behaviour, such as the reduction of consumer rents through monopolistic pricing by cartels or market players abusing their dominant market position.
Glavni namen nadzora pomoči za naložbo ni zaščita potrošnikov (ali trgovcev) pred neželenimi posledicami protikonkurenčnega ravnanja, kot je zmanjšanje potrošniških najemnin preko monopolističnega določanja cen s strani kartelov ali zloraba prevladujočega tržnega položaja s strani akterjev na trgu.
In fact, the investment aid allows increasing output on the market, and thus leads to a price reduction that is prima facie, at least in the short and medium term, beneficial to consumers.
Pomoč za naložbo dejansko omogoča povečanje obsega proizvodnje na trgu, s čimer vodi do znižanja cen, ki je na prvi pogled vsaj kratkoročno in srednjeročno ugodno za potrošnike.
The objective pursued by the control of investment aid is rather to protect other producers and the economies of other Member States against excessive (namely going beyond the level of distortion that is considered compatible with the internal market within the meaning of Article 107(3) of the Treaty) distortive effects of the aid on competition and trade.
Cilj nadzora pomoči za naložbo je pravzaprav zaščita drugih proizvajalcev in gospodarstev iz drugih držav članic pred čezmernimi (tj. preseganje ravni izkrivljanja, ki se v smislu člena 107(3) Pogodbe šteje za združljivo z notranjim trgom) izkrivljajočimi vplivi pomoči na konkurenco in trgovino.
This competition between manufacturers takes place at manufacturing level, and in this case, the competition between refineries takes place at the level of ex-refinery sales.
Navedena konkurenca med izdelovalci obstaja na ravni predelave in v tem primeru konkurenca med rafinerijami obstaja na ravni prodaje, ki je na ravni prejšnje rafinerije.
