DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE AID
PODROBEN OPIS DRŽAVNE POMOČI
The beneficiary of the State aid, Petróleos de Portugal — Petrogal, S.A. (hereinafter referred to as ‘Petrogal’), is a 100 % subsidiary of Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. (‘Galp Energia’).
Upravičenec državne pomoči, tj. Petróleos de Portugal – Petrogal, S.A. (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Petrogal), je 100-odstotno hčerinsko podjetje družbe Galp Energia, SGPS, S.A. (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Galp Energia).
The main shareholders of Galp Energia are ENI SpA [15] (33,34 %), Amorim Energia BV ( ‘Amorim Energia’) [16] (33,34 %), Parpública Participações Públicas (‘Parpública’)(SGPS) [17] (7 %), Fidelity International Limited (2,01 %), Caixa Geral de Depósitos SA (‘CGD’) [18] (1 %), and others (23,31 %).
Glavni delničarji družbe Galp Energia so ENI SpA [15] (33,34 %), Amorim Energia BV (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Amorim Energia) [16] (33,34 %), Parpública Participações Públicas (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Parpública) (SGPS) [17] (7 %), Fidelity International Limited (2,01 %), Caixa Geral de Depósitos SA (v nadaljnjem besedilu: CGD) [18] (1 %) in drugi (23,31 %).
Galp Energia is the holding company of the Galp Energia Group (‘Galp’).
Galp Energia je krovna družba skupine Galp Energia Group (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Galp).
Galp Energia is active in the petroleum product market (which includes refining and marketing activities, such as non-retail and retail sales) as well as in the gas market.
Galp Energia je dejavna na trgu z naftnimi derivati (ki vključuje rafiniranje in tržne dejavnosti, kot sta prodaja na debelo in drobno) in na trgu s plinom.
The holding company was originally set up on 22 April 1999 under the name of GALP — Petróleos e Gás de Portugal SGPS, S.A., mainly for the purpose of trading in oil and natural gas, bringing together two pre-existing Portuguese government owned companies which were placed under Galp Energia’s control namely Petrogal, focusing on petroleum products, and GDP — Gas de Portugal, SGPS, S.A., focusing on natural gas [19].
Krovna družba je bila prvotno ustanovljena 22. aprila 1999 pod imenom GALP – Petróleos e Gás de Portugal SGPS, S.A., katere namen je bil v glavnem trgovanje z nafto in zemeljskim plinom, pri čemer je združila dve obstoječi portugalski državni podjetji, ki sta bili dani pod nadzor družbe Galp Energia, in sicer podjetje Petrogal, ki se je osredotočalo na naftne derivate, in podjetje GDP – Gas de Potrugal, SGPS, S.A., ki se je osredotočalo na zemeljski plin [19].
Galp Energia’s business also includes retail and wholesale marketing of refined petroleum products in the Iberian Peninsula.
Poslovanje družbe Galp Energia vključuje tudi trženje rafiniranih naftnih derivatov na drobno in debelo na Iberskem polotoku.
It is the market leader in Portugal [20], and has a growing presence in Spain.
Družba ima vodilni položaj na Portugalskem [20], v Španiji pa je njena prisotnost vedno večja.
Petrogal owns the sole two refineries in Portugal.
Petrogal je lastnik edinih dveh rafinerij na Portugalskem.
The refineries are in Sines and Matosinhos.
Rafineriji sta v Sinesu in Matosinhosu.
The refining business comprises all refining, supply and logistics activities.
Dejavnosti rafinerij vključujejo celotne postopke rafiniranja, oskrbo in logistične dejavnosti.
Petrogal is the largest marketer of petroleum products in Portugal, as well as one of the largest in the Iberian Peninsula.
Petrogal je največje podjetje na področju trženja naftnih derivatov na Portugalskem in eno največjih podjetij na tem področju na Iberskem polotoku.
It effectively manages all the imports of crude oil, and a part of the imports of refined products into Portugal; it also manages 80 % of the storage capacity of crude oil and refined products [21] and has an important position in Portugal’s logistics infrastructure for oil products.
Učinkovito obvladuje celoten uvoz surove nafte in del izvoza rafiniranih derivatov na Portugalsko; upravlja tudi z 80 % skladiščne zmogljivosti surove nafte in rafiniranih derivatov [21] ter ima pomemben položaj v logistični infrastrukturi Portugalske za naftne proizvode.
Petrogal has an extensive product range that includes gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, fuel oil, naphtha, LPG, bitumen and several aromatic products.
Široka paleta proizvodov Petrogala vključuje bencin, dizelsko gorivo, letalsko gorivo, kurilno olje, nafto, utekočinjen naftni plin (UNP), bitumen in več aromatičnih proizvodov.
The refining business is responsible for the supply of oil products to Petrogal’s retail, wholesale and LPG marketing divisions, to competitors and foreign customers, and for the operation of their refining assets and logistics tools.
Rafinerije so odgovorne za to, da Petrogalove oddelke za maloprodajo, veleprodajo in trženje UNP, konkurenčna podjetja ter tuje stranke oskrbujejo z naftnimi derivati ter upravljajo svoja sredstva iz dejavnosti rafinerij in logistična orodja.
Petrogal stores and transports its products using either its wholly-owned storage assets, or affiliated logistics companies.
Petrogal za skladiščenje in prevoz svojih proizvodov uporablja bodisi infrastrukturo za skladiščenje, ki je v celoti v njegovi lasti, ali odvisne logistične družbe.

The Shareholders’ Agreement
Sporazum delničarjev
A shareholder agreement was signed on 29 December 2005 between Amorim Energia, ENI and Rede Eléctrica Nacional de Portugal (REN), with CGD joining the agreement on 28 March 2006 (the ‘Shareholders’ Agreement’).
Dne 29. decembra 2005 so družbe Amorim Energia, ENI in Rede Eléctrica Nacional de Portugal (REN) podpisale sporazum delničarjev, družba CGD pa je k sporazumu pristopila 28. marca 2006 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: sporazum delničarjev).
The Shareholders’ Agreement entered into force on 29 March 2006 for a period of eight years.
Sporazum delničarjev je začel veljati 29. marca 2006 za obdobje osmih let.
According to Article 20, first paragraph c) of the Portuguese Securities Code, voting rights attached to Galp Energia shares owned by parties to the Shareholder’s Agreement are reciprocally assigned to the other parties.
Po točki (c) prvega odstavka člena 20 portugalskega zakonika o vrednostnih papirjih se glasovalne pravice iz delnic družbe Galp Energia, ki so v lasti podpisnikov sporazuma delničarjev, vzajemno dodelijo drugim podpisnikom.
Consequently, Galp Energia is considered to be jointly controlled by the shareholders that are parties to the Shareholders’ Agreement.
Posledično delničarji, ki so podpisniki sporazuma delničarjev, skupno upravljajo družbo Galp Energia.
According to Portugal, it results from the Shareholders’ Agreement that shareholders and, in particular, ENI, cannot control and solely define strategies between their own refining activities and Petrogal’s refining activities.
Po mnenju Portugalske delničarji in zlasti družba ENI na podlagi sporazuma delničarjev ne morejo nadzorovati in izključno opredeliti strategij med svojimi lastnimi postopki rafinerije in Petrogalovimi postopki rafinerije.
The Petrogal investment project
Petrogalov naložbeni projekt
The investment project serves to reconfigure and expand the existing refinery units in Sines and Matosinhos, the only two existing refineries in Portugal.
Cilj naložbenega projekta je preoblikovati in razširiti obstoječi rafineriji v Sinesu in Matosinhosu, tj. edini obstoječi rafineriji na Portugalskem.
In addition, the investment project aims at improving integration and synergy effects between the two refineries.
Poleg tega je naložbeni projekt usmerjen k izboljšanju njunih medsebojnih povezovalnih in sinergijskih učinkov.
It opens the possibility of using heavier crudes.
Odpira možnost za uporabo težje surove nafte.
The investment project aims mainly at increasing the production of diesel fuel to the detriment of gasoline.
Cilj naložbenega projekta je zlasti povečanje proizvodnje dizelskega goriva na račun bencina.
The investment project concludes that the increased use of heavy crude oil will reduce raw materials cost and will lend flexibility to the origin of crude oils to be processed.
Po ugotovitvah iz naložbenega projekta bo povečana uporaba težke surove nafte znižala stroške surovin in nudila prožnost glede izvora surove nafte, ki se obdeluje.
The investment project for the conversion of the Matosinhos refinery consists more precisely in the construction of a new vacuum distillation unit for obtaining vacuum gas oil (VGO) and a new visco-reduction unit (visbreaker) for the soft thermal cracking of the resulting vacuum residue.
Naložbeni projekt za preoblikovanje rafinerije v Matasinhosu vključuje izgradnjo nove vakuumske destilacijske enote za pridobivanje vakuumskega plinskega olja (VGO) in nove enote za viskoredukcijo za lahki termični kreking preostankov vakuumske destilacije.
The investment project for conversion of the Sines refinery aims at the construction of a new hydrocracker, namely a unit for hydrocracking vacuum gas oil, for the production of diesel and jet fuel.
Naložbeni projekt za preoblikovanje rafinerije v Sinesu je namenjen zgraditvi novega hidrokrekerja, tj. enote za hidrokreking vakuumskega plinskega olja, za proizvodnjo dizelskega in letalskega goriva.
According to the investment project, the hydrocracker unit will use, as feedstock, vacuum gas oil and visbreaker gas oil produced both at the Matosinhos and Sines refineries, thereby making full use of the processing capacity of the national refining equipment.
V skladu z naložbenim projektom bosta enoto za hidrokreking poganjali vakuumsko plinsko olje in viskoredukcijsko plinsko olje, ki se pridobivata v rafinerijah v Matosinhosu in Sinesu, s čimer bo v celoti izkoriščena obdelovalna zmogljivost nacionalne opreme za rafiniranje.
It will treat around [ ] barrels per day, using around [ ] Ktonnes/annum of atmospheric residue as primary feedstock.
Obdelala bo okoli [ ] sodčkov na dan, pri čemer bo kot primarno surovino porabila okoli [ ] kiloton atmosferskih ostankov na leto.
The products obtained by hydrocracking (LPG, heavy naphtha [22] and diesel) are [ ] hydrogenated, which gives them a superior quality.
Proizvodi hidrokrekinga (UNP, težka nafta [22] in dizelsko gorivo) so [ ] hidrogenirani, kar jim daje odlično kakovost.
As a result of the investment project, it is expected that only the production of diesel and heavy naphtha will increase.
Namen naložbenega projekta je tako povečati samo proizvodnjo dizelskega goriva in težke nafte.
According to the investment project, part of the heavy naphtha produced in the Sines refinery will be shipped to Matosinhos as raw material for Petrogal’s aromatics plant [23], which will be a further step to increased integration of both refineries.
V skladu z naložbenim projektom bo del težke nafte, proizvedene v rafineriji v Sinesu, odpremljen v Matosinhos kot surovina za Petrogalov obrat za proizvodnjo aromatov [23], kar bo predstavljalo nadaljnji korak k večjemu povezovanju obeh rafinerij.
The increased production of heavy naphtha is an inevitable technical consequence of the conversion project in Sines.
Povečana proizvodnja težke nafte je neizogibna tehnična posledica projekta preoblikovanja v Sinesu.
Portugal suggests that despite the geographic distance between the two refineries (some 450 km to be covered by sea transport), the investment project should be considered as a single investment project (SIP) within the meaning of paragraph 60 of the Guidelines on national regional aid for 2007-2013 [24] (hereinafter referred to as ‘RAG’).
Portugalska predlaga, naj se naložbeni projekt kljub geografski razdalji med rafinerijama (okoli 450 km s pomorskim prevozom) obravnava kot enoten naložbeni projekt v skladu z odstavkom 60 Smernic o državni regionalni pomoči za obdobje 2007–2013 [24] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Smernice).
The Portuguese authorities confirm that Petrogal has not received State aid in the three years previous to the start of the notified investment project.
Portugalski organi potrjujejo, da Petrogal v treh letih pred začetkom priglašenega naložbenega projekta ni prejel državne pomoči.
The investment in Sines represents investment costs of EUR [ ] in nominal value.
Naložba v Sines ima naložbene stroške v višini […] EUR v nominalni vrednosti.
The Sines refinery is to receive aid worth EUR [ ] (nominal value), resulting in an aid intensity of 16 %.
Rafinerija v Sinesu naj bi prejela pomoč v višini […] EUR (nominalna vrednost), kar predstavlja 16-odstotno intenzivnost pomoči.
Regarding the Matosinhos refinery, the investment amounts to EUR [ ] (nominal value) and the refinery is to benefit of aid worth EUR [ ] (nominal value), corresponding to an aid intensity of 13 %.
Naložba v rafinerijo v Matosinhosu znaša […] EUR (nominalna vrednost), rafinerija pa dobi pomoč v vrednosti […] EUR, kar predstavlja 13-odstotno intenzivnost pomoči.
The eligible expenditures of the investment project are EUR 974064894 at present value (EUR 1058934146 in nominal value) and consist exclusively of equipment (no land or buildings).
Sedanja vrednost upravičenih izdatkov naložbenega projekta je 974064894 EUR (1058934146 EUR v nominalni vrednosti), vključujejo pa izključno opremo (brez zemljišč ali objektov).
The aid amount for both refineries amounts to EUR 121091314 in present value (EUR 160484007 in nominal value), corresponding to an aid intensity of 12,43 %.
Sedanja vrednost zneska pomoči za obe rafineriji je 121091314 EUR (160484007 EUR v nominalni vrednosti), kar ustreza 12,43-odstotni intenzivnosti pomoči.
The breakdown per year of eligible expenditures is presented in the Table 1:

Financing of the investment project
Financiranje naložbenega projekta
Petrogal plans to finance this investment project from using its own resources, in addition to the State aid it has applied for (EUR 160484007 in nominal value).
Petrogal namerava poleg državne pomoči, za katero je zaprosil (160484007 EUR v nominalni vrednosti), ta naložbeni projekt financirati z lastnimi sredstvi.
There are no other State aid sources of financing foreseen.
Predvideni niso nobeni drugi viri državne pomoči.
Regional aid ceiling
Zgornja meja regionalne pomoči
In accordance with the Portuguese regional aid map for 2007-2013 [26], the regions of Alentejo and Norte, in which the Sines and Matosinhos refineries are respectively located, are eligible for regional aid under the derogation foreseen by Article 107(3)(a) of the Treaty with ceilings for regional investment aid to large enterprises of respectively 40 % and 30 % gross grant equivalent (GGE).
V skladu s portugalsko karto regionalnih pomoči za obdobje 2007–2013 [26] sta regiji Alentejo in Norte, kjer se nahajata rafineriji v Sinesu in Matosinhosu, upravičeni do regionalne pomoči na podlagi izjeme, predvidene v členu 107(3)(a) Pogodbe, pri čemer zgornji meji regionalne pomoči za naložbe pri velikih podjetjih znašata 40 % in 30 % bruto ekvivalenta nepovratne pomoči (BED).
The investment project is supposed to lead to the creation of approximately 150 direct jobs and of 450 indirect jobs in both regions.
Z naložbenim projektom naj bi bilo ustvarjenih okoli 150 neposrednih delovnih mest in 450 posrednih delovnih mest v obeh regijah.
Moreover, according to the information submitted by Portugal, approximately 3000 temporary jobs will be created during the construction period.
Poleg tega bo po informacijah, ki jih je predložila Portugalska, med gradnjo ustvarjenih okoli 3000 začasnih delovnih mest.
The State aid is to be granted as ad hoc aid which was designed in applying the provisions of an expired aid scheme (N 97/99) based on Decree law No 409/99 of 15 October 1999.
Državna pomoč se dodeli kot ad hoc pomoč, ki je bila določena z uporabo določb potekle sheme pomoči (N 97/99) na podlagi zakonskega odloka št. 409/99 z dne 15. oktobra 1999.
Following the Resolution of the Portuguese Council of Ministers of 6 March 2008, two contracts were signed on 10 March 2008 between the Portuguese Government, Petrogal and Galp Energia, for the purpose of granting the State aid.
Na podlagi resolucije portugalskega sveta ministrov z dne 6. marca 2008 sta bili 10. marca 2008 podpisani dve pogodbi med portugalsko vlado, Petrogalom in družbo Galp Energia za dodelitev državne pomoči.
The two contracts were: ‘contract for the granting of tax benefits’ and the ‘investment contract’ (the ‘aid contracts’).
Pogodbi sta bili „pogodba za dodelitev davčnih ugodnosti“ in „naložbena pogodba“ („pogodbi o pomoči“).
The signed aid contracts foresaw the concession of the tax credit linked to the completion investment project.
Podpisani pogodbi o pomoči sta predvidevali koncesijo odbitka davka, povezano z dokončanjem naložbenega projekta.
The aid would be a tax credit to be deducted from future payments of corporate income tax.
Pomoč bi bila odbitek davka, ki se odšteje od prihodnjih plačil davka od dohodkov pravnih oseb.
The amount of the tax credit would be calculated by the Portuguese authorities as a percentage of the eligible investment.
Portugalski organi bi izračunali znesek odbitka davka kot odstotek upravičene naložbe.
The tax credit would only be used for taxes generated by the investment project.
Odbitek davka bi se uporabljal zgolj za davke iz naložbenega projekta.
In the event that tax credit could not be fully deducted, any pending tax credit could still be deducted, until the expiry of the contract (namely 31 December 2016).
Če odbitka davka ne bi bilo mogoče odšteti v celoti, se lahko do poteka pogodbe (in sicer 31. decembra 2016) še zmeraj odšteje kakršen koli odbitek davka, ki je v obravnavi.
Portugal intends to grant regional aid amounting to EUR 160484007 in nominal value to be awarded as from 2011.
Portugalska namerava odobriti regionalno pomoč v višini 160484007 EUR v nominalni vrednosti, ki se bo dodeljevala v letih po letu 2011.
Table 2 below, provided by the Portuguese authorities, details the schedule of the granting of the aid:
V spodnji preglednici 2, ki so jo predložili portugalski organi, je podrobno opredeljen razpored odobritev pomoči:
estimated taxable Income
Predviden obdavčljivi dohodek
Utilisation of the tax credit [27]
Izkoriščenost odbitka davka [27]
Portugal confirmed that the aid for the investment project would not be cumulated with aid received for the same eligible costs from other local, regional, national or EU sources.
Portugalska je potrdila, da se pomoč za naložbeni projekt ne bo dodelila skupaj s pomočjo, prejeto za iste upravičene stroške, iz drugih lokalnih, regionalnih, državnih virov ali virov EU.
In addition, the aid is granted under the condition that Petrogal will maintain the investments in the assisted regions for a minimum period of five years after completion of the investment project.
Poleg tega se pomoč dodeli pod pogojem, da Petrogal ohrani naložbe v regijah prejemnicah pomoči še najmanj pet let po zaključku naložbenega projekta.
Portugal confirmed that the granting of the aid was subject to the Commission’s clearance.
Portugalska je potrdila, da je Komisija sprejela odobritev pomoči.
Portugal committed itself not to exceed the maximum aid amount and the maximum aid intensity as laid down in this Decision, even in the case of lower or increased eligible expenditures.
Portugalska se je zavezala, da ne bo presegla najvišjega zneska pomoči in največje intenzivnosti pomoči, kot je določeno v tem sklepu, tudi v primeru nižjih ali višjih upravičenih izdatkov.
Portugal committed itself to submit:
Portugalska se je zavezala, da bo:
within two months of granting the aid, a copy of the document sent to Petrogal notifying the entry into force of the aid contracts;
v dveh mesecih po odobritvi pomoči predložila kopijo dokumenta, poslanega Petrogalu, v katerem ga obvešča o začetku veljavnosti pogodb o pomoči,

within six months after the grant of the last tranche of the aid, based on the notified granting schedule, a detailed final report.
v šestih mesecih po odobritvi zadnjega obroka pomoči na podlagi priglašenega razporeda odobritev predložila podrobno končno poročilo.
In its decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure pursuant to Article 108(2) of the Treaty (‘the opening decision’), the Commission expressed doubts as regards the compatibility of the aid with the provisions of the RAG.
Komisija je v svojem sklepu o začetku formalnega postopka preiskave v skladu s členom 108(2) Pogodbe (v nadaljnjem besedilu: sklep o začetku postopka) dvomila o združljivosti pomoči z določbami Smernic.
In this respect, the Commission expressed doubts in the opening decision regarding the issues mentioned in recitals 50 to 64.
V zvezi s tem je v sklepu o začetku postopka izrazila pomisleke glede vprašanj, navedenih v uvodnih izjavah 50 in 64.
Initial investment
Začetna naložba
Paragraph 34 of the RAG describes the standard categories of an initial investment ‘an investment in tangible and intangible assets’ relating to:
Odstavek 34 Smernic opisuje standardne kategorije začetne naložbe, tj. „naložbe v materialna in nematerialna sredstva“, povezane z:
the setting up of a new establishment;
ustanovitvijo nove ustanove,
the extension of an existing establishment;
širitvijo obstoječe ustanove,
diversification of the output of an establishment into new, additional products;
diverzifikacijo proizvodnje ustanove v nove dodatne proizvode,
a fundamental change in the overall production process of an existing establishment.
bistveno spremembo v celotnem proizvodnem procesu obstoječe ustanove.
Replacement investment which does not meet any of these conditions is explicitly excluded from the scope of the definition of initial investment.
Nadomestna naložba, ki ne izpolnjuje nobenega od teh pogojev, je tako izrecno izključena iz obsega opredelitve začetne naložbe.
