At national level, the environmental benefits can be assessed with regard to the contribution to the achievement of goals established in the National Program for the Reducing of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides Pollutants Emissions [35].
Koristi za okolje se lahko na nacionalni ravni ocenijo glede na prispevek k doseganju ciljev, zastavljenih v nacionalnem programu za zmanjšanje emisij onesnaževal žveplovega dioksida in dušikovih oksidov [35].
The investment project will improve diesel quality, and consequently, reduce polluting emissions from vehicles.
Naložbeni projekt bo izboljšal kakovost dizelskega goriva in posledično zmanjšal emisije onesnaževal iz vozil.
The investment project will also have a positive impact on biological factors (flora and fauna) and on the landscape.
Naložbeni projekt bo pozitivno vplival tudi na biološke dejavnike (živalske in rastlinske vrste) in na pokrajino.
Comments regarding the contribution to regional development
Pripombe v zvezi s prispevkom k regionalnemu razvoju
Portugal underlines the investment project’s important contribution to regional development, given its location in two disadvantaged regions, both suffering from high unemployment.
Glede na lokacijo v dveh manj razvitih regijah, v katerih je brezposelnost visoka, Portugalska poudarja pomemben prispevek naložbenega projekta k regionalnemu razvoju.
Portugal considers that the Sines and Matosinhos refineries constitute fundamental pillars of the regional economies.
Portugalska meni, da sta rafineriji v Sinesu in Matosinhosu temeljna stebra regionalnega gospodarstva.
Portugal expects the investment project to produce extremely positive effects on employment and, more generally, on the economic fabric of the Norte and Alentejo regions.
Portugalska pričakuje, da bo imel naložbeni projekt zelo pozitiven vpliv na zaposlenost ter, bolj splošno, na gospodarsko strukturo regij Norte in Alentejo.
The refinery in Sines is located in Alentejo, a region with a GDP 6 % below the national average.
Rafinerija v Sinesu se nahaja v regiji Alentejo, tj. regiji, katere BDP je 6 % nižji od državnega povprečja.
The region is characterised by a reduced business density and a shortage of advanced services for development support and innovation.
Za regijo sta značilna zmanjšana gostota podjetij in primanjkljaj naprednih storitev za podporo razvoju in inovacije.
In the third quarter of 2009, the unemployment rate was 10,2 %, namely 0,4 % above the national average, and has increased since then to 11,6 % in the third quarter of 2010 (0,7 % above the national average).
V tretji četrtini leta 2009 je stopnja brezposelnosti znašala 10,2 %, kar je 0,4 % nad državnim povprečjem, do tretje četrtine leta 2010 pa se je povečala na 11,6 % (0,7 % nad državnim povprečjem).
The refinery in Matosinhos is located in the Oporto area in the Norte region.
Rafinerija v Matosinhosu se nahaja na območju Oporto regije Norte.
The unemployment rate grew from 11,6 % in the third quarter of 2009 to 13,2 % in the same quarter of 2010, which is significantly above the national average (respectively 9,8 % in 2009 and 10,9 % in 2010).
Stopnja brezposelnosti se je povečala z 11,6 % v tretji četrtini leta 2009 na 13,2 % v isti četrtini leta 2010, kar je znatno nad državnim povprečjem (9,8 % leta 2009 in 10,9 % leta 2010).
Jobs and Training
Delovna mesta in usposabljanje
Creation of Direct Jobs
Ustvarjanje neposrednih delovnih mest
According to Portugal, in the operation stage, the investment project will create an estimated 150 new jobs directly related to running the processing units at the two refineries.
Po mnenju Portugalske bo naložbeni projekt v operativni fazi ustvaril predvidenih 150 novih delovnih mest, neposredno povezanih z vodenjem obdelovalnih enot v obeh rafinerijah.
Creation of Indirect and Temporary Jobs
Ustvarjanje posrednih in začasnih delovnih mest
The investment project has a significant potential to create indirect jobs, as the new units will increase the technological complexity of the refineries, and require more maintenance interventions.
Naložbeni projekt ima velik potencial za ustvarjanje neposrednih delovnih mest, saj bodo nove enote povečale tehnološko zapletenost rafinerij in zahtevale več vzdrževalnih del.
As a result of the refineries’ subcontracting policy, there will be an increasing demand for the provision of services by specialised workers.
Zaradi podizvajalske politike rafinerij se bo povečala zahteva po zagotavljanju storitev specializiranih delavcev.
Portugal considers that the ‘reconfiguration of the refining units will have a marked effect on the national industrial fabric, particularly in the mechanical engineering, electricity and building industries. It is estimated that during the busiest period of construction, around 3000 workers will be involved in the construction of both refineries’ and ‘around 450 indirect permanent jobs are expected to be created’.
Portugalska meni, da „bo imelo preoblikovanje enot za rafiniranje znaten vpliv na državno gospodarsko strukturo, zlasti na področju strojništva, elektrogospodarstva in gradbeništva. Ocenjuje se, da bo v najbolj obremenjenem obdobju gradnje v gradnjo obeh rafinerij vključenih približno 3000 delavcev“ in „da bo glede na pričakovanja ustvarjenih približno 450 posrednih stalnih delovnih mest“.
These jobs require qualified personnel, normally paid above the market average, with an expected significant social and economic impact on the surrounding community, particularly in the Sines area.
Ta delovna mesta zahtevajo kvalificirano osebje, ki je običajno plačano več, kot je povprečje na trgu, kar bo po pričakovanjih imelo znaten družbeni in gospodarski vpliv na okoliško skupnost, zlasti na območju Sinesa.
As to whether the ratio of three indirect jobs for each direct job presented for the investment project — and the methodology applied — is justified, Portugal replied that this ratio should be compared to those for other investment projects in the same sector.
Portugalska je v zvezi s tem, ali je razmerje treh posrednih delovnih mest za vsako neposredno delovno mesto, predstavljeno za naložbeni projekt (in metodologija, ki se uporablja), upravičeno, odgovorila, da je treba navedeno razmerje primerjati s tistimi za druge naložbene projekte v istem sektorju.
Referring to two other State aid measures approved by the Commission (Commission Decisions N 898/06 and N 899/06, respectively for the Repsol Polimeros and the Artensa petrochemical projects) [36], Portugal considers that the direct/indirect jobs ratio proposed for the investment project is more conservative and realistic than the Repsol Polimeros ratio (15 indirect jobs for each direct job), even though both projects are brownfield.
Portugalska s sklicevanjem na dva druga ukrepa državne pomoči, ki ju je odobrila Komisija (sklepa Komisije N 898/06 in N 899/06 za Repsol Polimeros in petrokemične projekte Artensa) [36], meni, da je razmerje med neposrednimi in posrednimi delovnimi mesti, predlagano za naložbeni projekt, konzervativnejše in bolj realistično kot razmerje za Repsol Polimeros (15 posrednih delovnih mest za vsako neposredno delovno mesto), čeprav sta oba projekta opuščena.
Portugal also noted that the amounts for the investment project are close to those of the Artensa project, which is a root project (greenfield).
Portugalska tudi ugotavlja, da so zneski za naložbeni projekt podobni tistim iz projekta Artensa, ki je izhodiščni projekt (popolnoma nov).
Portugal also takes into account the benchmark established by HSB Solomon Associates LLC concerning the petroleum industry: the PEI (Personnel Efficiency Index).
Portugalska upošteva tudi merilo, ki ga je v zvezi z naftno industrijo določila družba z omejeno odgovornostjo HSB Solomon Associates: PEI (indeks učinkovitosti osebja).
This indicator shows the number of hours worked per EDC (Equivalent Distillation Capacity), that is, in general terms, the number of jobs generated per processed barrel of crude.
Ta kazalnik prikazuje število delovnih ur na EDC (ekvivalent zmogljivosti destilacije), kar na splošno pomeni število delovnih mest, ustvarjenih na obdelan sodček surove nafte.
In the latest available report (2008 figures), the beneficiary presented a global index of [50-70], which compares with a value of 113,7 for the study average and, 206,8 for the Southern and Central European average.
V zadnjem razpoložljivem poročilu (številke iz leta 2008) je svetovni indeks upravičenca znašal [50–70], kar je primerljivo z vrednostjo 113,7 za povprečje iz študije in 206,8 za povprečje južne in srednje Evrope.
This reflects the number of workers involved internally in the refinery, [ ]; and the existence of a group of support activities based on external services which are continually provided.
To odraža število delavcev, ki so notranje vključeni v rafinerijo, [ ], in obstoj skupine podpornih dejavnosti na podlagi zunanjih storitev, ki se stalno izvajajo.
Portugal considers that this recourse to external services ensures the creation of indirect jobs and justifies the expectation of a higher ratio of indirect jobs to direct jobs than in the case of Artensa.
Portugalska meni, da to opiranje na zunanje storitve zagotavlja ustvarjanje posrednih delovnih mest in upravičuje pričakovanje večjega pokritja posrednih delovnih mest z neposrednimi delovnimi mesti v zadevi Artensa.
Therefore, when compared with the Commission Decisions described in this recital, Portugal concludes that this strategy is taken to the extreme in the Repsol Polimeros Project (minimum utilisation of internal resources and maximum utilisation of external resources).
Zato Portugalska meni, da je ta strategija v projektu Repsol Polimeros v primerjavi s sklepoma Komisije iz te uvodne izjave pretirana (minimalen izkoristek notranjih virov in maksimalen izkoristek zunanjih virov).
The Artensa’s case demonstrates the opposite, namely a balance in the utilisation of internal and external resources.
Zadeva Artensa kaže nasprotno, in sicer ravnovesje pri izkoriščanju notranjih in zunanjih virov.
Portugal considers the proposed ratio 3:1 to be in line with the refining industry’s ratio and correctly reflects the degree of externalisation of Petrogal’s activities (as in the area of maintenance).
Portugalska meni, da je predlagano razmerje 3 : 1 skladno z razmerjem rafinerij in pravilno odraža stopnjo zunanjega izvajanja Petrogalovih dejavnosti (kot na področju vzdrževanja).
Safeguarded jobs
Zagotovljena delovna mesta
During the formal investigation phase, in a further document (a cost-benefit analysis) provided to the Commission Portugal quantifies the number of jobs safeguarded by the investment project, as it was clear that in a counterfactual no-investment scenario Petrogal would have introduced some restructuring measures, including downsizing of labour force.
Portugalska je med formalnim postopkom preiskave v nadaljnjem dokumentu (analiza stroškov in koristi), ki ga je predložila Komisiji, količinsko opredelila število delovnih mest, zagotovljenih z naložbenim projektom, saj je bilo jasno, da bi Petrogal v hipotetičnem scenariju, ki ne bi vključeval naložbe, uvedel nekatere ukrepe za prestrukturiranje, kar bi vključevalo zmanjšanje delovne sile.
If the investment project were not carried out, there would have been a ‘total loss of 1240 jobs – 150 direct jobs + 450 indirect jobs (direct result of the project) in addition to the estimated loss of 160 direct jobs + 480 indirect jobs due to the cost reduction measures that would be implemented to face the reduced refining margins of the refineries in their current configuration’.
Če se naložbeni projekt ne bi izvedel, „bi bilo skupno izgubljenih 1240 delovnih mest: 150 neposrednih delovnih mest in 450 posrednih delovnih mest (neposredni rezultat projekta) poleg predvidene izgube 160 neposrednih delovnih mest in 480 posrednih delovnih mest zaradi ukrepov za zmanjšanje stroškov, ki bi se izvajali za soočanje z zmanjšanimi rafinerijskimi maržami rafinerij v njihovi sedanji obliki“.
Impact in terms of social and economic wellbeing of the regions
Učinek v smislu družbene in gospodarske blaginje v regijah
Portugal underlines that the investment project will mainly use qualified workers, paid [ ] the average salary in the relevant local market.
Portugalska poudarja, da bo naložbeni projekt v glavnem zaposloval kvalificirane delavce, ki bodo plačani po [ ] povprečni plači na upoštevnem lokalnem trgu.
The resulting socio-economic impact on the surrounding communities will contribute to the development of other businesses and activities.
Posledični družbeno-gospodarski učinek na okoliške skupnosti bo prispeval k razvoju drugih podjetij in dejavnosti.
The investment project will therefore be of benefit to the establishment and renewal of the infrastructures and facilities in the regions of Oporto and Sines, providing the conditions necessary for these regions to progress to a new stage in terms of quality of life and competitiveness.
Zato bo naložbeni projekt koristil vzpostavitvi in prenovi infrastrukture ter objektov v regijah Oporto in Sines, s čimer bodo zagotovljeni pogoji, ki so v navedenih regijah potrebni za napredovanje v novo fazo v smislu kakovosti življenja in konkurenčnosti.
In its reply, Portugal stresses also that ‘during the construction phase, the project will have a significant impact on the national industrial fabric, in promoting the creation and development of local businesses. When fully operational, the project will encourage the development of new maintenance-related businesses, and thus it will continue to consolidate the regional dynamic’.
Portugalska v svojem odgovoru tudi poudarja, da „bo imel projekt s spodbujanjem ustanavljanja in razvoja lokalnih podjetij v obdobju gradnje znaten vpliv na državno gospodarsko strukturo. Ko bo projekt deloval v celoti, bo spodbujal razvoj novih podjetij na področju vzdrževanja, s čimer bo še naprej utrjeval regionalno dinamiko“.
Therefore, ‘with this initiative, Petrogal will help to balance the competitiveness of less developed regions vis-à-vis the national average. Finally, the project will have a positive impact on business in Alentejo region and on its exposure to foreign markets’.
Zato „bo Petrogal s to spodbudo pomagal uravnavati konkurenčnost manj razvitih regij v zvezi z nacionalnim povprečjem. Ne nazadnje bo projekt pozitivno vplival tudi na poslovanje v regiji Alentejo in na njeno izpostavljenost tujim trgom“.
Furthermore, by increasing the flow of raw and manufactured products between the two refineries, the investment project is expected to produce a very positive effect on the port infrastructures of Sines and Leixões [38], by significantly increasing their activity and utilisation and therefore also their operating results.
Poleg tega se pričakuje, da bo imel naložbeni projekt s povečanjem pretoka surovin in proizvodov predelovalnih dejavnosti med tema dvema rafinerijama zelo pozitiven učinek na pristaniško infrastrukturo v Sinesu in Leixõesu [38], in sicer z bistvenim povečanjem njene dejavnosti in izkoristka ter s tem tudi njenih poslovnih prihodkov.
Finally, Portugal considers that Petrogal foresees that the investment project will have an exploitation period of not less than 30 years, which shows the long term commitment to regional, national and European objectives.
Portugalska tudi meni, da Petrogal predvideva, da obdobje izkoriščanja v okviru naložbenega projekta ne bo trajalo manj kot 30 let, kar kaže na dolgoročno zavezanost k regionalnim, nacionalnim in evropskim ciljem.
Training and Protocols
Usposabljanje in protokoli
The investment project will also contribute to enhance the regional human capital potential.
Naložbeni projekt bo prispeval tudi h krepitvi potenciala regionalnega človeškega kapitala.
To train the staff involved in the investment project, whether newly recruited or current staff, professional qualification and training structures will be created, in cooperation with the Alentejo Litoral Technical College [39] in the business centre of the Industrial and Logistics Zone of Sines [40] (ZILS).
Za usposabljanje uslužbencev, vključenih v naložbeni projekt, bodisi na novo zaposlenih ali sedanjih uslužbencev, bodo ustvarjene strukture za poklicne kvalifikacije in usposabljanje v sodelovanju z višjo tehnično šolo Alentejo Litoral [39] v poslovnem centru Industrijskega in logističnega območja Sinesa [40] (ZILS).
In term of links with R&D projects and cooperation with universities, Portugal mentions that the two refineries represent regional development centres in terms of research and training.
Glede povezav s projekti raziskav in razvoja ter sodelovanja z univerzami Portugalska navaja, da ti dve rafineriji predstavljata regionalna razvojna centra v smislu raziskav in usposabljanja.
According to Portugal, the investment project is expected to have a positive effect and the potential to attract new agreements between Petrogal and education centres in the scientific and engineering area.
Po mnenju Portugalske se od naložbenega projekta pričakuje, da bo imel pozitiven vpliv in potencial za pritegnitev novih sporazumov med Petrogalom in izobraževalnimi centri na področju znanosti in inženirstva.
Amount of aid per job created by the investment project
Znesek pomoči na delovno mesto, ustvarjeno z naložbenim projektom
Portugal comments on the investment/number of created jobs ratio, which would show the complete reasonableness of the proportion, specifically considering that the refining sector is very capital intensive and requires highly qualified labour and high levels of investment in training a skilled workforce.
Portugalska pojasnjuje razmerje med naložbo in številom ustvarjenih delovnih mest, ki bi pokazalo celotno razumnost deleža, pri čemer se zlasti upošteva, da je sektor rafinerij kapitalsko zelo intenziven ter zahteva visoko kvalificirano delo in visoke ravni naložb v usposabljanje kvalificirane delovne sile.
Similarly high aid per created jobs ratios were approved by the Commission in the Repsol Polimeros and Artensa petrochemical projects [41].
Podobno je Komisija odobrila razmerja med visokimi zneski pomoči na ustvarjeno delovno mesto v projektih Repsol Polimeros in Artensa [41].
Cost-benefit analysis
Analiza stroškov in koristi
Following a Commission request to produce a cost-benefit analysis and project appraisal comparable to that requested for major projects co-financed by Structural Funds [42], Portugal submitted a document mainly aimed at quantifying the social and economic benefits deriving from the investment project.
Portugalska je po zahtevi Komisije po predložitvi analize stroškov in koristi ter ocene projekta, primerljive z oceno, ki se zahteva za velike projekte, ki so sofinancirani s strukturnimi skladi [42], predložila dokument, ki je bil v glavnem usmerjen v količinsko opredelitev družbenih in gospodarskih koristi, ki izhajajo iz naložbenega projekta.
The document points to an economic impact due to positive contributions resulting from the investment, such as: project’s tax payable; direct employment (taxes); indirect employment (taxes); avoided unemployment aid; consumption tax (VAT); CO2 emission savings in transportation and industry sectors; avoided interests in Portuguese Government External Debt Interests; freight and demurrage (taxes); Additional revenue for Leixões Port; and support for local community development.
Ta dokument kaže na gospodarski učinek, ki je posledica pozitivnih prispevkov naložbe, kot so: plačljiv davek projekta; neposredna zaposlitev (davki); posredna zaposlitev (davki); pomoč za brezposelnost, ki je ni bilo treba izplačati; davek na potrošnjo (DDV); prihranki emisij CO2 pri prevozu in v industrijskih sektorjih; obresti v obrestih zunanjega dolga portugalske vlade, ki jih ni bilo treba izplačati; tovor in ležarina (davki); dodaten prihodek za pristanišče Leixões; ter podpora za razvoj lokalne skupnosti.
The local benefits of the investment project consist in: consumption tax (VAT); additional revenue for Leixões Port; and support for local community development (accounting all together for EUR 49 million in net present value), while the remaining benefits are to be considered a national amenity (accounting all together for EUR 454 million in net present value), benefiting the whole national economy and can be therefore only partially allocated to the concerned regions.
Lokalne koristi naložbenega projekta so davek na potrošnjo (DDV), dodaten prihodek za pristanišče Leixões in podpora za razvoj lokalne skupnosti (katerih skupna neto sedanja vrednost znaša 49 milijonov EUR), medtem ko se ostale koristi odražajo na nacionalni ravni (katerih skupna neto sedanja vrednost znaša 454 milijonov EUR) ter koristijo celotnemu državnemu gospodarstvu in se lahko zato le delno pripišejo zadevnima regijama.
Under the assumption that this national amenity is proportionally spread over the Portuguese regions according to their respective economic weight, as Norte and Alentejo regions represent 34,8 % of Portuguese national GDP in 2007, the total regional benefit (accounting for EUR 195 million in net present value) largely exceeds the cost of the aid granted to the investment project (accounting for EUR 121 million in net present value).
Ob predpostavki, da je ta državna korist sorazmerno razširjena po portugalskih regijah glede na njihovo gospodarsko težo, saj sta regiji Norte in Alentejo leta 2007 predstavljali 34,8 % portugalskega nacionalnega BDP, skupna regionalna korist (katere neto sedanja vrednost znaša 195 milijonov EUR) bistveno presega strošek pomoči, odobrene za naložbeni projekt (katerega neto sedanja vrednost znaša 121 milijonov EUR).
Comments regarding the necessity of the aid
Pripombe v zvezi z nujnostjo pomoči
Incentive Effect of the Aid
Spodbujevalni učinek pomoči
Portugal underlined that the aid effectively and decisively contributed to Petrogal’s decision to invest, as it was necessary to ensure its profitability.
Portugalska je poudarila, da je pomoč učinkovito in odločno pripomogla k Petrogalovi odločitvi, da investira, saj je bilo treba zagotoviti njegovo donosnost.
Necessity of Aid
Nujnost pomoči
Without the aid, the investment project would not have been implemented as its profitability would not have been justified.
Naložbeni projekt se brez pomoči ne bi izvedel, saj njegova donosnost ne bi bila upravičena.
In 2001, Galp’s Board of Directors decided against an earlier plan into upgrading the refinery of Matosinhos, as the project’s return on capital employed (ROCE) was below Galp Energia’s weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for its refining sector.
Upravni odbor družbe Galp je leta 2001 odločil proti predhodnemu načrtu za nadgradnjo rafinerije v Matosinhosu, saj je bil donos naložbenega kapitala (ROCE) projekta nižji od tehtanih povprečnih stroškov kapitala (WACC) družbe Galp Energia za njen sektor rafinerij.
In 2005, Galp’s Board of Directors reconsidered the strategic opportunity to undertake a conversion project of the two refineries.
Upravni odbor družbe Galp je leta 2005 ponovno proučil strateško priložnost za izvedbo projekta preoblikovanja zadevnih rafinerij.
After internally studying alternative investment projects, the Sines and Matosinhos Conversion Project was submitted to the Board of Directors for approval in March 2008.
Po interni preučitvi nadomestnih naložbenih projektov je bil marca 2008 upravnemu odboru v odobritev predložen projekt preoblikovanja rafinerij v Sinesu in Matosinhosu.
The internal rate of return associated with the reviewed investment of EUR [ ] million was calculated at [8-10] % without any incentive, namely [ ] percentage points above Galp Energia’s WACC for refining activities (set at [7-9] %).
Notranja stopnja donosa, povezana s preverjeno naložbo v višini [ ] milijonov EUR, je bila izračunana po [8–10] % brez kakršne koli spodbude, in sicer [ ] odstotnih točk nad tehtanimi povprečnimi stroški kapitala družbe Galp Energia za postopke rafinerije (določene na [7–9] %).
The decision of Galp’s Board of Directors in March 2008 was based on the following analysis of the sensibility of the Internal Return Rate (IRR) of the investment project
Odločitev upravnega odbora družbe Galp iz marca 2008 je temeljila na naslednji analizi občutljivosti notranje stopnje donosa (IRR) naložbenega projekta:
