As a compensatory measure, therefore, the Commission would give preference to cessation of the marketing of dishwashers under the Vedette brand as opposed to divestment of the […] brand, products of the Vedette brand being sold exclusively in the French market whereas products […] are sold primarily […] [46].
Komisija je torej kot izravnalnemu ukrepu bolj naklonjena ustavitvi trženja pomivalnih strojev pod blagovno znamko Vedette kot pa prodaji blagovne znamke […], saj se proizvodi blagovne znamke Vedette [46] tržijo izključno na francoskem trgu, medtem ko se proizvodi […] prodajajo v glavnem […].
The scale of these additional compensatory measures must therefore be analysed to establish their adequacy.
Proučiti je torej treba obseg teh dodatnih izravnalnih ukrepov in ugotoviti, ali so zadostni.
Sales of refrigeration products (refrigerators and freezers) of the Vedette brand were worth, in 2007, EUR [10–20] million, equivalent to [0–5] % of the FagorBrandt group’s turnover.
Prodaja proizvodov hladilne tehnike (hladilnikov in zamrzovalnikov) blagovne znamke Vedette je leta 2007 dosegla [10–20] milijonov EUR, kar je [0–5] % prometa skupine FagorBrandt.
Cessation of the marketing of these refrigeration products for a period of five years will enable competitors in the French market to strengthen their position in the refrigeration segment.
Petletna ustavitev trženja proizvodov hladilne tehnike bo konkurentom na francoskem trgu omogočila, da utrdijo položaj v sektorju hladilne tehnike.
According to the 2007 GfK study, FagorBrandt’s main competitors in the refrigerator market in France — where FagorBrandt had a market share based on value of […] % — were Whirlpool ([…] %), Indesit ([…] %) and Electrolux ([…] %).
Po podatkih iz študije GfK iz leta 2007 so glavni konkurenti skupine FagorBrandt – ki ima […]-odstotni tržni delež po vrednosti – na trgu hladilnikov v Franciji Whirlpool ([…] %), Indesit ([…] %) in Electrolux ([…] %).
In the freezer market, the main competitors of FagorBrandt (which had […] %) were Whirlpool ([…] %), Liebherr ([…] %) and Electrolux ([…] %).
Na trgu zamrzovalnikov so glavni konkurenti skupine FagorBrandt ([…] %) Whirlpool ([…] %), Liebherr ([…] %) in Electrolux ([…] %).
Sales of cooking products of the Vedette brand were worth, in 2007, EUR [5–10] million, equivalent to [0–5] % of the FagorBrandt group’s turnover.
Prodaja kuhalnih aparatov blagovne znamke Vedette je leta 2007 dosegla [5–10] milijonov EUR, kar je [0–5] % prometa skupine FagorBrandt.
According to the 2007 GfK study, FagorBrandt’s main competitors in the cooking products market in France — where FagorBrandt had a market share based on value of […] % — were Indesit ([…] %), Electrolux ([…] %) and Candy ([…] %).
Po podatkih študije GfK iz leta 2007 so glavni konkurenti skupine FagorBrandt (ki ima […]-odstotni tržni delež po vrednosti) na trgu štedilnikov v Franciji Indesit ([…] %), Electrolux ([…] %) in Candy ([…] %).
Sales of dishwashers of the Vedette brand were worth, in 2007, EUR [5–10] million, equivalent to [0–5] % of the FagorBrandt group’s turnover.
Prodaja pomivalnih strojev blagovne znamke Vedette je leta 2007 dosegla [5–10] milijonov EUR, kar je [0–5] % prometa skupine FagorBrandt.
According to the 2007 GfK study, FagorBrandt’s main competitors in the dishwashers market in France — where FagorBrandt had a market share based on value of […] % — were BSH ([…] %), Whirlpool ([…] %) and Electrolux ([…] %).
Po podatkih iz študije GfK iz leta 2007 so glavni konkurenti skupine FagorBrandt (ki ima […]-odstotni tržni delež po vrednosti) na trgu pomivalnih strojev v Franciji BSH ([…] %), Whirlpool ([…] %) in Electrolux ([…] %).
Consequently, cessation of the marketing of dishwashers under the Vedette brand will enable competitors to expand their presence in the market.
Zato bo ustavitev trženja pomivalnih strojev pod blagovno znamko Vedette konkurentom omogočila, da povečajo prisotnost na trgu.
To sum up, the Vedette products the marketing of which will be stopped account for [0–5] % of the group’s turnover [47].
Če povzamemo, proizvodi Vedette, katerih trženje se bo ustavilo, obsegajo [0–5] % prometa skupine [47].
Conclusion regarding the compensatory measures proposed by the French authorities; imposition by the Commission of an additional compensatory measure
Sklep o izravnalnih ukrepih, ki jih predlagajo francoski organi, in sprejetje dodatnega izravnalnega ukrepa s strani Komisije
The compensatory measures proposed are the cessation of the marketing for a period of five years of certain products of the Vedette brand (cooking, refrigeration and dishwashing) [48] and the divestment of Brandt Components.
Predlagani izravnalni ukrepi zajemajo petletno ustavitev trženja nekaterih proizvodov (kuhalnih aparatov, hladilne tehnike in pomivalnih strojev) blagovne znamke Vedette [48] in prodajo podružnice Brandt Components.
However, the Commission considers that the only valid compensatory measure proposed by the French authorities is the measure relating to the Vedette brand, and that it is not sufficient.
Vendar Komisija meni, da je izravnalni ukrep za blagovno znamko Vedette, ki ga predlagajo francoski organi, edini veljavni izravnalni ukrep, ki pa ni zadosten.
The Commission will therefore impose, as a condition of compatibility, the extension of the cessation of the marketing of products of the Vedette brand for a further three years.
Zato se je odločila, da kot pogoj za združljivost določi podaljšanje ustavitve trženja proizvodov blagovne znamke Vedette za tri leta.
The ban proposed has a duration of five years; this will be extended by three years, making a total of eight.
Dejansko bo predlagana prepoved, ki naj bi trajala pet let, podaljšana za tri leta na skupno osem let.
According to the information in the Commission’s possession on 21 October 2008, the impact of this compensatory measure (‘CM’) in terms of loss of turnover can be evaluated in two ways, shown in Table 2 [49]:
Iz informacij, ki jih je imela Komisija na voljo 21. oktobra 2008, se lahko vpliv tega izravnalnega ukrepa v smislu izgube prometa oceni na dva načina, navedena v preglednici 2 [49] spodaj.
FagorBrandt turnover
Promet podjetja FagorBrandt
Impact CM, higher estimate
Vpliv izravnalnega ukrepa, visoka ocena
Impact CM, lower estimate
Vpliv izravnalnega ukrepa, nizka ocena
The figures shown in Table 2 for the years 2009 to 2012 are the figures supplied by the French authorities and FagorBrandt for the impact of the compensatory measure they propose (for the scale of the impact see also paragraphs 143 ff.).
Podatke iz preglednice 2 za leta od 2009 do 2012 o vplivu predlaganega izravnalnega ukrepa so predložili francoski organi in podjetje FagorBrandt (za podatke o tem vplivu glej tudi uvodno izjavo (145) in naslednje).
The first way to calculate the impact of the additional compensatory measure imposed by the Commission is to multiply by 3 the loss of turnover for the last year evaluated by the French authorities, namely 2012.
Prvi način za izračun vpliva dodatnega izravnalnega ukrepa, ki ga je določila Komisija, je, da se izgubljeni dobiček zadnjega leta, ki so ga ocenili francoski organi (tj. leto 2012), pomnoži s 3.
In an optimistic scenario for the company, the impact estimated in this fashion is therefore 3 × EUR [40–60] million, or EUR [120-180] million.
V optimističnem scenariju za podjetje je torej ta vpliv 3 × [40–60] milijonov, kar znaša [120–180] milijonov EUR.
In an optimistic scenario for the company, following this approach, the compensatory measure will deprive FagorBrandt of turnover of EUR [120–180] million.
V optimističnem scenariju za podjetje bi bil promet podjetja FagorBrandt s tem izravnalnim ukrepom manjši za [120–180] milijonov EUR.
It will also be more difficult for the company to reintroduce the Vedette products concerned after eight years of absence as a result of the measure (the only Vedette products currently marketed are washing machines).
Ta izravnalni ukrep bo podjetju prav tako otežil ponovno uvedbo zadevnih proizvodov Vedette na trg po 8 letih odsotnosti (trenutno se tržijo samo pralni stroji Vedette).
Even if the brand does not disappear entirely, the cost of a return will be proportional to the years of absence from the market.
Čeprav blagovna znamka ni povsem izginila, bodo stroški ponovne uvedbe sorazmerni z leti odsotnosti s trga.
The longer the brand has been absent from the market, the less it will be recognised.
Dlje kot bo blagovna znamka odsotna s trga, bolj se bo zmanjševala njena prepoznavnost.
It has to be considered whether this additional compensatory measure will also offset the competitive advantage conferred by the cumulative effect of the Italian aid and the restructuring aid.
Poleg tega je treba preveriti, če se lahko z novim izravnalnim ukrepom izravna tudi konkurenčna prednost, ki izhaja iz kumulativnega učinka italijanske pomoči in pomoči za prestrukturiranje.
On 21 October 2008 FagorBrandt had at its disposal a sum of EUR 3190878,02, or about EUR 4 million including interest, which it ought not to have received.
Podjetje FagorBrandt je namreč dne 21. oktobra 2008 razpolagalo z zneskom v višini 3190878,02 EUR (kar je približno 4 milijone EUR z obrestmi), do katerega ni bilo upravičeno.
This advantage had an impact on competition: the company had additional liquidity.
Ta prednost vpliva na konkurenco: podjetje je razpolagalo z dodatnimi denarnimi sredstvi.
But the additional compensatory measure offsets the damage done to competition.
Zato se ta vpliv na konkurenco lahko izravna z dodatnim izravnalnim ukrepom.
Table 3 shows the net loss (or negative free cash flow) resulting from the compensatory measure.
Preglednica 3 spodaj prikazuje neto izgube (oziroma negativni prosti denarni tok), povezane z izravnalnim ukrepom.
The figures for the years 2009-2012 are the figures notified to the Commission by the French authorities.
Podatke za leta 2009 do 2012 so Komisiji predložili francoski organi.
The figures for the years 2013–2016 are an extrapolation obtained by increasing the 2012 figures by [1,5–3] % each year [50].
Podatki za leta 2013 do 2016 so ekstrapolirani podatki, pridobljeni s povečanjem podatkov iz leta 2012 za [1,5–3] % na leto [50].
Final profit or loss without CM
Končni rezultat brez izravnalnega ukrepa
In an optimistic scenario for the company, three additional years deprive FagorBrandt of liquidity amounting to EUR [10–20] million (if we multiply the 2012 figure by 3) or EUR [10–20] million (if we add the extrapolated figures).
Zato je mogoče sklepati, da bi po optimističnem scenariju (za podjetje) podjetje FagorBrandt v treh dodatnih letih izgubilo dodatna denarna sredstva v višini med [10–20] milijonov EUR (če se podatki iz leta 2012 pomnožijo s 3) in [10–20] milijonov EUR (če se seštejejo ekstrapolirani podatki).
In other words, the imposition of this new compensatory measure very amply offsets the advantage conferred by liquidity of about EUR 4 million.
Z drugimi besedami, z uvedbo tega novega izravnalnega ukrepa bi se v veliki meri izničila prednost, ki jo je imelo podjetje, ko je razpolagalo z denarnimi sredstvi v višini okoli 4 milijonov EUR.
The fact that the compensatory measures extend beyond the period of restructuring (which is to end on 31 December 2012) does not mean that they are inappropriate.
Nazadnje dejstvo, da izravnalni ukrepi veljajo tudi po koncu obdobja prestrukturiranja (ki se konča 31. decembra 2012), ne pomeni, da so ti ukrepi neprimerni.
The compensatory measures arise out of the granting of restructuring aid, but they are not part of the restructuring process itself: they are intended to compensate the assisted firm’s competitors for the damage to competition they may suffer.
Čeprav je treba zaradi dodelitve pomoči za prestrukturiranje sprejeti izravnalne ukrepe, ti niso del samega postopka prestrukturiranja, ampak pomenijo nadomestilo za konkurente podjetja, ki je prejelo pomoč, da se izravna vpliv na konkurenco, ki so ga ti morebiti občutili.
The fact that the measures extend beyond the period of restructuring does not in any way deprive them of their purpose, given that they were put in place by reason of a restructuring operation facilitated by state aid, and that their object and effect is to compensate for the damage to competition that results from that aid.
Dejstvo, da so izravnalni ukrepi veljavni tudi po koncu obdobja prestrukturiranja, torej ne vpliva na njihov učinek in koristnost, če so ukrepi sprejeti za namen prestrukturiranja z državno pomočjo in če sta njihov cilj in rezultat izravnava vpliva na konkurenco, ki je posledica te pomoči.
Consequently, the Commission considers that these measures can avert the risk of excessive distortion of competition within the meaning of points 38 to 40 of the restructuring aid guidelines.
Zato Komisija meni, da se s temi ukrepi lahko prepreči čezmerno izkrivljanje konkurence v smislu točk od 38 do 40 smernic pomoči za prestrukturiranje.
Restructuring plan, market prospects and credibility of the forecasts in the plan
Načrt prestrukturiranja, tržne priložnosti in verodostojnost napovedi iz načrta prestrukturiranja
FagorBrandt’s restructuring plan is already under way; essentially it provides for:
Načrt za prestrukturiranje podjetja FagorBrandt, ki se že izvaja, v bistvu določa naslednje:
a refocusing and development targeted on […];
preusmeritev na […] in njihov usmerjeni razvoj;
a rationalisation of purchasing policy and […];
racionalizacijo nabavne politike in […];
plant closures and disposals [51];
ukinitev dejavnosti in zaprtje obratov [51];
workforce reductions [52];
zmanjšanje števila zaposlenih [52];
measures to help ensure the continuation of the business [53].
ukrepe za okrepitev nadaljnjega obstoja podjetja [53].
Having examined the plan the Commission confirms what it suggested in the opening decision, namely that it believes the plan complies with the requirements of points 35 to 37 of the restructuring aid guidelines.
Po pregledu Komisija potrjuje svoje navedbe v sklepu o začetku postopka, in sicer da ocenjuje, da ta načrt izpolnjuje zahteve iz točk od 35 do 37 smernic o pomoči za prestrukturiranje.
In other words, the restructuring plan can be expected to restore the company’s long-term viability.
Z drugimi besedami, načrt prestrukturiranja omogoča ponovno vzpostavitev dolgoročne sposobnosti preživetja podjetja.
The Commission wishes to explain its analysis and conclusions regarding the prospects for the market and the credibility of the forecasts in the restructuring plan.
Komisija želi kljub temu v nadaljevanju navesti svojo analizo in sklepe o tržnih priložnostih in verodostojnosti napovedi iz načrta prestrukturiranja.
The Commission has evaluated the forecasts in the restructuring plan, notably in terms of growth prospects.
Komisija je ocenila napovedi, ki izhajajo iz načrta prestrukturiranja, zlasti možnosti za rast.
The Commission would point out once again that this Decision takes account only of information available in October 2008.
Komisija želi opozoriti, da je v tem sklepu upoštevala samo podatke, ki so bili na voljo oktobra 2008.
Although in the long run a convergence in purchasing behaviour between eastern Europe and western Europe is possible, weak purchasing power in eastern European countries currently means that demand is concentrated on essential goods (washing machines and refrigerators) and entry-level appliances.
Čeprav je dolgoročno mogoče, da se bodo potrošniške navade v vzhodni Evropi približale tistim v zahodni Evropi, pa je zaradi šibke kupne moči v teh državah povpraševanje usmerjeno na osnovne potrebščine (pralne stroje in hladilnike) in najosnovnejše modele.
It is these product markets, however, that Turkish and Asian competitors are entering.
Vendar so prav na te trge vstopili turški in azijski konkurenti.
More particularly, FagorBrandt’s reference market is the French market, where the group achieves [50–80] % of its sales, produces [80–100] % of its volumes and employs [80–100] % of the group’s workforce.
Natančneje, referenčni trg skupine FagorBrandt je francoski trg, na katerem skupina ustvari [50–80] % prodaje, uresniči [80–100] % obsega in zaposluje [80–100] % zaposlenih v skupini.
According to GIFAM [55], in 2007 the French market for large electrical household appliances grew by 1 % compared with 2006, in both volume and value terms.
Po podatkih združenja GIFAM [55] se je trg bele tehnike v Franciji v letu 2007 povečal za 1 % v primerjavi z letom 2006, in sicer po količini in vrednosti.

Having analysed the other basic components of the restructuring plan aimed at justifying the relevance of the forecasts relating to FagorBrandt’s long-term operational profitability, the Commission considers that those forecasts are realistic.
Komisija po proučitvi drugih bistvenih elementov iz načrta prestrukturiranja, ki bi lahko upravičili napovedi v zvezi z operativnim dobičkom skupine FagorBrandt v nekaj letih, meni, da so navedene napovedi iz preglednice 5 realne.
Final profit or loss
Končni rezultat
The remainder of this analysis will be limited, therefore, to the two specific concerns regarding the realistic nature and adequacy of the restructuring plan raised in the opening decision.
Zato bo preostanek analize omejen na dva posebna dvoma o realnosti in zadostnosti načrta prestrukturiranja, ki sta bila navedena v sklepu o začetku postopka.
Secondly, the Commission noted that the restructuring plan did not indicate how FagorBrandt intended to reimburse the incompatible aid received by its Italian subsidiary, which might place the restoration of the company’s viability in doubt.
Drugič, Komisija je ugotovila, da v načrtu prestrukturiranja ni navedeno, kako namerava FagorBrandt vrniti nezdružljivo pomoč, ki jo je prejela njegova italijanska podružnica, kar postavlja pod vprašaj ponovno vzpostavitev sposobnosti preživetja podjetja.
The French authorities state that the amount of the Italian aid to be repaid by Brandt Italia will probably be less than EUR 200000 (see paragraphs 70 ff.).
Francoski organi so navedli, da bi moralo biti vračilo italijanske pomoči, naloženo družbi Brandt Italia, po vsej verjetnosti manjše od 200000 EUR (glej uvodno izjavo (70) in naslednje).
On the basis of the above considerations, the Commission concludes that the doubts about the restoration of viability raised in the opening decision have been allayed.
Komisija na podlagi navedenih ugotovitev sklepa, da so odpravljeni dvomi o ponovni vzpostavitvi sposobnosti preživetja, ki so bili navedeni v sklepu o začetku postopka.
Doubts about the restoration of viability raised by an interested party
Dvomi, ki jih je o ponovni vzpostavitvi sposobnosti preživetja imela zainteresirana stran
As indicated above, the competitor requesting anonymity challenges the claim that the restructuring operation can restore the company’s long-term viability.
Kot je bilo navedeno, se konkurent, ki je želel ostati anonimen, ne strinja, da bi se s prestrukturiranjem lahko znova vzpostavila dolgoročna sposobnost preživetja podjetja.
First of all, it considers that the company should have transferred part of its production to low-cost production areas where it could benefit from economies of scale.
Prvič, meni, da bi moralo podjetje preseliti del svoje proizvodnje na poceni proizvodna območja, na katerih bi lahko imelo koristi od ekonomije obsega.
Secondly, the company will be unable to afford the investment needed to improve its products in an industry which each year requires significant investment in plant, design and R&D.
Drugič, podjetje ne bo kos potrebnim naložbam za izboljšanje svojih proizvodov v industriji, ki vsako leto zahteva velike naložbe v industrijsko orodje, zasnovo, raziskave in razvoj.
Thirdly, the company is still too small compared with its rivals In the paragraphs that follow, the Commission will seek to ascertain whether these comments by the competitor requesting anonymity call into question the Commission’s conclusions concerning the restoration of viability
Ne nazadnje poudarja, da podjetje ostaja premajhno v primerjavi s svojimi konkurenti. V naslednjih uvodnih izjavah bo Komisija preverila, ali so te pripombe konkurenta, ki je želel ostati anonimen, v nasprotju z njenimi ugotovitvami glede ponovne vzpostavitve sposobnosti preživetja.
The French authorities stress that the development targeted by FagorBrandt (high-value-added and innovative products), like that of some of its strictly European competitors, is incompatible with the systematic transfer of production to low-cost countries.
Kot opozarjajo, se usmerjeni razvoj skupine FagorBrandt (inovativni proizvodi z visoko dodano vrednostjo) in nekaterih njenih strogo evropskih konkurentov ne sklada z razmestitvijo njihove proizvodnje v poceni državah.
[…] For the majors, the establishment of production units in low-cost countries also reflects a wish to expand sales there.
[…] V primeru velikih podjetij postavitev proizvodnih enot v poceni države izhaja tudi iz želje, da bi tam razvila prodajo.
On the assertions by the competitor requesting anonymity regarding FagorBrandt’s inability to afford the significant investment needed in order to remain competitive and regarding the company’s excessive smallness compared with the majors, the Commission would observe that it itself pointed out in paragraph 8 of the opening decision that these factors had contributed to the company’s difficulties.
Glede trditev konkurenta, ki je želel ostati anonimen, da FagorBrandt ne bo kos velikim naložbam, ki so potrebne za ohranjanje konkurenčnosti, in da je podjetje premajhno v primerjavi z največjimi podjetji, Komisija ugotavlja, da je že sama v točki 8 sklepa o začetku postopka navedla, da so ti dejavniki pripomogli k težavam podjetja.
However, the restructuring plan seems to respond to the challenges.
Vendar ugotavlja, da se zdi, da je načrt prestrukturiranja pravi odgovor na te izzive.
The company intends to concentrate on […].
Podjetje se namreč namerava usmeriti v […].
The Commission would also observe that, despite their small size compared with the majors and their focus on production in the countries of western Europe, some companies in the sector manage to remain competitive by concentrating on certain products and segments (these are ‘niche’ players such as Miele, Smeg, Liebherr or Teka, or small manufacturers with only a national dimension, such as Candy or Gorenje).
Komisija tudi opozarja, da nekatera podjetja iz sektorja kljub majhnosti v primerjavi z velikimi podjetji in kljub obsežni proizvodnji v zahodni Evropi zmorejo ohranjati konkurenčnost z osredotočanjem na nekatere proizvode in segmente (gre za akterje na področju tržnih niš, kot so Miele, Smeg, Liebherr in Teka, ali za male nacionalne proizvajalce, kot sta Candy in Gorenje).
The ever closer integration of FagorBrandt into the Fagor group is also helping to resolve these size-related problems.
Komisija še ugotavlja, da tudi vedno večje vključevanje skupine FagorBrandt v družbo Fagor pripomore k reševanju teh težav, povezanih z majhnostjo.
Effect of the compensatory measures on the restoration of viability
Učinek izravnalnih ukrepov na ponovno vzpostavitev sposobnosti preživetja
Finally, still on the subject of the restoration of long-term viability, the Commission must, as is provided for in the last sentence of point 38 of the restructuring aid guidelines, verify whether the planned compensatory measures endanger the company’s viability.
Ne nazadnje mora Komisija, kot je navedeno v zadnjem stavku točke 38 smernic o pomoči za prestrukturiranje, v zvezi s ponovno vzpostavitvijo dolgoročne sposobnosti preživetja preveriti, ali predvideni izravnalni ukrepi ne ogrožajo sposobnosti preživetja podjetja.
As has been explained, the French authorities have proposed compensatory measures that were not included in the financial forecasts attached to the notification.
Kot je bilo analizirano, so francoski organi predlagali izravnalne ukrepe, ki torej niso bili vključeni v finančne napovedi, priložene priglasitvi.
The Commission considers these additional measures to be necessary, and they will consequently have to be implemented.
Komisija je presodila, da so ti ukrepi potrebni, zato jih je treba izvesti.
