In particular, the Commission doubted that RMG’s role as the sole universal service provider and the liabilities resulting from its public sector monopoly legacy would justify mitigating the conditions of the R&R Guidelines and notably those ensuring that competition distortions are limited and that the cost of restructuring is shared by the required 50 % own contribution.
Komisija je zlasti dvomila, da vloga skupine RMG kot edine ponudnice univerzalne storitve in obveznosti, ki izhajajo iz njenega preteklega monopolnega položaja v javnem sektorju, upravičujejo omilitev pogojev iz smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje, zlasti tistih, ki se nanašajo na omejevanje izkrivljanja konkurence in delitev stroškov prestrukturiranja na podlagi zahtevanega 50-odstotnega lastnega prispevka.
The Commission also considered that the duration of the original restructuring plan from 2008 to 2016 was particularly long and that the projections in the original restructuring plan were sensitive to changes in the assumptions such as total mail volumes.
Komisija je tudi menila, da je trajanje prvotnega načrta prestrukturiranja od leta 2008 do leta 2016 zelo dolgo in da so napovedi iz prvotnega načrta prestrukturiranja odvisne od sprememb predpostavk, npr. celotne količine pošte.
The Commission therefore expressed doubts as to the restoration of long-term viability of RMG by the implementation of the notified plan and to the robustness of the viability projections.
Zato je Komisija dvomila v ponovno vzpostavitev dolgoročnega uspešnega poslovanja skupine RMG na podlagi izvajanja priglašenega načrta in v zanesljivost napovedi glede uspešnosti poslovanja.
Modification to the notified measures after the opening of the formal investigation procedure
Spremembe priglašenih ukrepov po začetku formalnega postopka preiskave
In the course of the discussions with the Commission during the formal investigation, the United Kingdom renounced part of the debt reduction of 1700 million and reduced the notified debt reduction measures to GBP 1089 million.
V razpravah s Komisijo, ki so potekale med formalno preiskavo, se je Združeno kraljestvo odpovedalo delu zmanjšanja dolga v višini 1700 milijonov GBP in skrčilo priglašene ukrepe za zmanjšanje dolga na 1089 milijonov GBP.
Furthermore, the United Kingdom also renounced the notified GBP 200 million revolving credit facility.
Poleg tega se je Združeno kraljestvo odpovedalo tudi 200 milijonom GBP priglašenega obnovljivega kredita.
The Commission therefore no longer considers those measures to be notified but only the debt reduction measure amounting to GBP 1089 million.
Zato Komisija teh ukrepov ne šteje več za priglašene, temveč zgolj ukrep za zmanjšanje dolga v višini 1089 milijonov GBP.
The plan for restoring the viability of RMG can be split into the following key actions: labour related restructuring, structural restructuring to reduce its capacity and restructuring of IT systems.
Načrt za ponovno vzpostavitev uspešnega poslovanja RMG se lahko razdeli na naslednje ključne ukrepe: prestrukturiranje delovne sile, strukturno prestrukturiranje za zmanjšanje zmogljivosti in prestrukturiranje IT-sistemov.
Labour-related restructuring
Prestrukturiranje delovne sile
Labour related restructuring is at the heart of the RMG’s changes to ensure that a financially sustainable universal service can be provided for the long term in the United Kingdom.
Prestrukturiranje delovne sile je v središču sprememb RMG, da se zagotovi dolgoročno izvajanje finančno vzdržne univerzalne storitve v Združenem kraljestvu.
RMG has already made progress and intends to significantly reduce its workforce further through a programme of voluntary redundancy and natural attrition over the period of the plan.
Skupina RMG je že dosegla napredek in namerava bistveno zmanjšati svojo delovno silo s programom prostovoljne prekinitve delovnega razmerja in naravnega odliva med obdobjem izvajanja načrta.
This alone represents around one third of the total relevant restructuring costs from the plan, and will reduce significantly one of RMG’s core costs.
Samo to predstavlja približno tretjino skupnih stroškov prestrukturiranja iz načrta in bo znatno zmanjšalo enega od temeljnih stroškov skupine RMG.
This labour-related restructuring includes a reduction of close to […] central managers (over 1000 of whom had already left by March 2011).
To prestrukturiranje delovne sile vključuje odpustitev skoraj […] osrednjih vodstvenih delavcev (od katerih jih je več kot 1000 že odšlo do marca 2011).
Labour cost savings of GBP […] million in real terms are forecast to be achieved between March 2010 and March 2015.
Prihranki pri stroških dela v višini […] milijonov GBP so realne napovedi, ki naj bi bile dosežene med marcem 2010 in marcem 2015.
The labour changes proposed will impact virtually every part of the RMG’s business.
Predlagane spremembe delovne sile bodo vplivale na praktično vsak del poslovanja RMG.
outdoor delivery and collections, which are labour intensive activities with high fixed costs, are being restructured; the restructuring is focused on achieving savings including by World Class Mail (see recital (68)) being introduced with savings arising from this comprehensive system for improving safety, customer service, quality and productivity in all delivery offices;
zunanja dostava in prevzem, ki sta delovno intenzivni dejavnosti z visokimi stalnimi stroški, sta v postopku prestrukturiranja; prestrukturiranje se osredotoča na doseganje prihrankov, kar vključuje tudi uvedbo celovitega sistema World Class Mail (glej odstavek (68)), s katerim se bodo v vseh dostavnih poštah ustvarili prihranki zaradi izboljšanja varnosti, storitev za stranke, kakovosti in storilnosti;
there is a move away from manual labour intensive processing to automated processing, with corresponding implications for labour;
z delovno intenzivne ročne obdelave se prehaja na avtomatizirano obdelavo z ustreznimi posledicami za delovno silo;
close to […] managers in central functions are also being removed.
odpuščenih bo tudi skoraj […] osrednjih vodstvenih delavcev.
The key elements of the labour restructuring cost included in the June 2011 restructuring plan are (i) redundancy payments, (ii) travel and outplacement costs and (iii) certain exceptional lump sum payments.
Ključni elementi stroškov prestrukturiranja delovne sile na podlagi načrta prestrukturiranja iz junija 2011 so (i) odpravnine, (ii), stroški potovanj in premestitev ter (iii) nekatera izredna enkratna izplačila.
Redundancy payments are expected to be approximately GBP […] million from March 2010 to March 2015.
Pričakuje se, da bodo odpravnine od marca 2010 do marca 2015 dosegle približno […] milijonov GBP.
Those key elements of labour restructuring together amount to approximately half of the total relevant restructuring costs during the period from March 2010 to March 2015.
Ti ključni elementi prestrukturiranja delovne sile skupaj predstavljajo približno polovico vseh ustreznih stroškov prestrukturiranja v obdobju od marca 2010 do marca 2015.
Structural restructuring to reduce capacity
Strukturno prestrukturiranje za zmanjšanje zmogljivosti
In addition to the measures to address the labour force at RMG, the notified restructuring plan includes structural restructuring to reduce capacity in the business over the period.
Poleg ukrepov, ki se nanašajo na delovno silo pri RMG, priglašeni načrt prestrukturiranja vključuje tudi strukturno prestrukturiranje za postopno zmanjšanje zmogljivosti poslovanja v navedenem obdobju.
Structural restructuring also consists of automation and, critically, new delivery methods to enable longer more flexible delivery spans.
Strukturno prestrukturiranje vključuje tudi avtomatizacijo in zlasti nove metode dostave, ki omogočajo daljše in prilagodljivejše obdobje dostave.
This again has significant implications for the workforce and forms a key part of restructuring.
To zopet bistveno vpliva na delovno silo in je ključni del prestrukturiranja.
The restructuring plan includes a one-off property rationalisation programme reducing the number of mail centres from 64 at the start of the financial year 2010/11 to […] by March 2015, significantly reducing the RMG’s footprint and streamlining its operations.
Načrt prestrukturiranja vključuje enkratni program racionalizacije premoženja, ki bo skrčil število poštnih centrov s 64 v začetku finančnega leta 2010/11 na […] do marca 2015, kar bo vodilo k znatnemu zmanjšanju velikosti skupine RMG in k racionalizaciji njenega poslovanja.
The restructuring plan therefore envisages closure of […] mail centres between 2010/11 and 2014/15 which equates to a […] reduction across the network.
Načrt prestrukturiranja torej predvideva zaprtje […] poštnih centrov med letoma 2010/11 in 2014/15, kar predstavlja […] zmanjšanje znotraj omrežja.
During the year from March 2010 to March 2011 a total of 5 mail centres were closed.
V letu od marca 2010 do marca 2011 je bilo skupno zaprtih pet poštnih centrov.
In conjunction with this, RMG is introducing World Class Mail in all mail centres which will remain open.
V povezavi s tem RMG uvaja sistem World Class Mail v vseh poštnih centrih, ki bodo ostali odprti.
World Class Mail is a comprehensive system for improving safety, customer service, quality and productivity, and reducing breakdowns.
World Class Mail je celovit sistem za izboljšanje varnosti, storitev za kupce, kakovosti in storilnosti ter zmanjšanje motenj.
World Class performance is achieved by involving all employees in attacking wasted time and resources caused by sub-standard reliability, and operating performance of processing systems.
Storilnost svetovnega razreda se doseže z vključitvijo vseh zaposlenih v boj proti izgubam časa in sredstev, ki so posledica slabe zanesljivosti in operativne zmogljivosti sistemov za obdelavo.
All mail centres will be part of World Class Mail by the end of financial year 2011/2012 and World Class Mail is also being introduced in delivery offices.
Do konca finančnega leta 2011/12 bodo vsi poštni centri vključeni v sistem World Class Mail, ki se sicer uvaja tudi v dostavnih poštah.
In addition, the deployment of intelligent letter sorting machines will bring about a change in automated sorting and reduce the costs associated with manual sorting.
Poleg tega bo uporaba pametnih naprav za razvrščanje pisemskih pošiljk povzročila spremembo v avtomatiziranem razvrščanju in zmanjšala stroške, povezane z ročnim razvrščanjem.
These machines are considerably faster than existing methods and equipment, which have been used by RMG for nearly 20 years.
Te naprave so bistveno hitrejše od obstoječih metod in opreme, ki jih skupina RMG uporablja že skoraj 20 let.
Further to this, the deployment of walk sequencing, which automates the sorting of letters to the order of delivery is being implemented.
Poleg tega se uvaja sistem zaporedne obdelave, ki avtomatizira razvrščanje pisemskih pošiljk glede na vrstni red dostave.
This is a critical part of the restructuring and requires the acquisition and deployment of compact sorter sequencer machines and results in changes to working practices for postmen and women working in delivery in particular.
To je ključen del prestrukturiranja, ki zahteva nakup in uporabo kompaktnih naprav za zaporedno obdelavo in povzroča spremembe v načinu dela poštnih uslužbencev in uslužbenk, zlasti zaposlenih v dostavi.
Automated sequencing of letters reduces manual sorting in delivery offices (and associated costs), and therefore allows for more efficient scheduling of start and finish times for delivery staff.
Avtomatska zaporedna obdelava pisemskih pošiljk zmanjša ročno razvrščanje v dostavnih poštah (in s tem povezane stroške) in tako omogoča učinkovitejši časovni razpored začetka in konca dela za dostavno osebje.
Walk sequencing is a structural change to mail processing for RMG that will increase its productivity.
Zaporedna obdelava pomeni za skupino RMG strukturno spremembo pri obdelavi pošte, ki bo povečala njeno storilnost.
RMG sequenced 0 % of mail in 2008; 1 % of mail in 2009, and 50 % by August 2011.
Skupina RMG je v letu 2008 na ta način obdelala 0 % pošte, v letu 2009 1 % pošte, do avgusta 2011 pa 50 % pošte.
RMG’s restructuring plan includes the automation of sorting of small parcels which is currently done manually.
Načrt prestrukturiranja RMG vključuje avtomatizacijo razvrščanja majhnih paketov, ki trenutno poteka ročno.
The company is determining the best solution to deploy during the restructuring period.
Družba se odloča, katera je najboljša rešitev za njeno uporabo v obdobju prestrukturiranja.
Finally, new delivery methods allow RMG to change from traditional delivery methods (on foot, by bicycle) to delivery mainly using secure trolleys (either manual or powered) and vans.
Nove metode dostave omogočajo skupini RMG, da preide s tradicionalnih metod dostave (peš, s kolesom) na dostavo, pri kateri se večinoma uporabljajo varni vozički (ročni ali pogonski) in dostavna vozila.
These new methods represent a major change for RMG and the change being implemented, including the expenditure incurred, will facilitate longer, flexible delivery spans.
Te nove metode za skupino RMG pomenijo veliko spremembo, z uvedbo spremembe, vključno z nastalimi izdatki, pa bodo omogočile daljša in bolj prilagodljiva obdobja dostave.
This, in turn, allows RMG to reduce the number of delivery routes and outdoor delivery operating costs.
Po drugi strani pa bo to skupini RMG omogočilo, da zmanjša število dostavnih poti in operativne stroške zunanje dostave.
IT restructuring
Prestrukturiranje informacijske tehnologije
The restructuring includes business critical capital investment in IT over the period of the plan.
Prestrukturiranje vključuje ključne poslovne kapitalske naložbe v informacijsko tehnologijo v obdobju izvajanja načrta.
To complement the labour changes, RMG is in the process of introducing handheld electronic devices to replace paper-based processes and therefore increase efficiency.
Kot dopolnitev k spremembam delovne sile skupina RMG trenutno uvaja dlančne elektronske naprave, ki bodo nadomestile papirne postopke in tako povečale učinkovitost.
One of their basic functions is to store customer signatures which confirm receipt of tracked items.
Ena od njihovih osnovnih funkcij je shranjevanje podpisov strank, ki potrjujejo prejem spremljanih pošiljk.
The devices allow RMG to track items in real time.
Naprave skupini RMG omogočajo spremljanje pošiljk v realnem času.
This removes the need for further processing of signatures and receipts on paper when the postman or woman has finished deliveries.
To odpravlja potrebo po nadaljnji papirni obdelavi podpisov in potrdil, ko je poštar ali poštarica že opravil(a) dostavo.
In addition, RMG will be making other investment in IT and operations — including significant investment in several critical areas:
Poleg tega bo skupina RMG izvedla tudi druge naložbe v IT in operacije, vključno z večjimi naložbami na več ključnih področjih:
improving operational reporting capabilities;
izboljšanje operativnih zmogljivosti poročanja;
modernisation of human resources processes;
posodobitev postopkov, povezanih s človeškimi viri;
enabling automatic reading of address information and use of the information for performance reporting;
omogočanje samodejnega branja naslovov in uporabe informacij za poročanje o uspešnosti;
[…]; and
[…], in
The investment in systems and IT restructuring in total represents approximately one fifth of the total relevant restructuring costs during the period from March 2010 to March 2015.
Naložbe v sisteme in prestrukturiranje informacijske tehnologije skupaj predstavljajo približno eno petino vseh ustreznih stroškov prestrukturiranja v obdobju od marca 2010 do marca 2015.
According to the United Kingdom, after the implementation of the pensions’ measures and the completion of the restructuring measures, RMG is forecast to be in a position to:
Po navedbah Združenega kraljestva naj bi bila po izvedbi pokojninskih ukrepov in dokončanju ukrepov prestrukturiranja skupina RMG sposobna:
cover its costs including depreciation and financial charges — in particular the company will have a positive free cashflow after interest and tax of GBP […] million by March 2015;
pokriti svoje stroške, vključno z amortizacijo in finančnimi dajatvami – družba bo zlasti izkazovala pozitiven prosti denarni tok po obrestih in davkih v višini […] milijonov GBP do marca 2015;
make a return on capital which will enable it to compete in the marketplace on its own merit — in particular the company will make a positive return on invested capital of […] by March 2015; and
ustvariti donos na vloženi kapital, kar ji bo omogočalo samostojno konkuriranje na trgu – družba bo zlasti izkazovala pozitiven donos na vloženi kapital v višini […] do marca 2015, in
generate cash from the underlying business (pre-asset sales) — in particular the company will have a positive operating free cashflow of GBP […] million.
ustvariti denarna sredstva iz osnovnega poslovanja (pred prodajo sredstev) – družba bo zlasti dosegla pozitiven operativni prosti denarni tok v višini […] milijonov GBP.
This conclusion also applies on the basis of the reasonable downside scenario (an additional […] decline in volumes over the period of the restructuring plan) submitted to the Commission on 30 November 2011 as part of the sensitivity analysis.
Ta ugotovitev velja tudi za razumen neugoden scenarij (dodatno […] zmanjšanje količin pošte v obdobju načrta prestrukturiranja), ki je bil predložen Komisiji 30. novembra 2011 kot del analize občutljivosti.
Under such a downside scenario, by March 2015 RMG would be in a position to:
V skladu s takim neugodnim scenarijem bi bila skupina RMG do marca 2015 sposobna:
have a positive free cashflow after interest and tax of GBP […] million by March 2015;
doseči pozitiven prosti denarni tok po obrestih in davkih v višini […] milijonov GBP do marca 2015;
make a positive return on invested capital of […] by March 2015; and
ustvariti pozitiven donos na vloženi kapital v višini […] do marca 2015 in
have positive operation free cashflow of GBP […] million.
doseči pozitiven operativni prosti denarni tok v višini […] milijonov GBP.
These forecasts are claimed to prove the robustness and strength of the proposed restructuring.
Te napovedi naj bi dokazovale stabilnost in trdnost predlaganega prestrukturiranja.
Comments on the opening decision were received from a wide range of interested third parties including RMG’s smaller domestic competitors and their industry associations, its larger international peers, pressure groups and a workers union representing the majority of RMG staff.
Pripombe na sklep o začetku postopka so poslale različne zainteresirane tretje strani, vključno z manjšimi domačimi konkurenti RMG in njihovimi industrijskimi združenji, večjimi mednarodnimi konkurenti, lobiji in sindikatom delavcev, ki zastopa večino osebja RMG.
Comments submitted by the Mail Competition Forum
Pripombe, ki jih je predložil Mail Competition Forum
As an industry association of smaller postal operators in the United Kingdom, the Mail Competition Forum (‘MCF’), places a great emphasis on the importance of a sound and viable RMG as the only company capable of fulfilling the universal service obligation in the United Kingdom, whilst at the same time voicing concerns that an artificially strengthened RMG could squeeze its smaller competitors out of an already difficult market by means of predatory pricing, margin squeeze and denial of access to essential facilities.
Mail Competition Forum (v nadaljnjem besedilu: MCF), industrijsko združenje manjših poštnih operaterjev v Združenem kraljestvu, pripisuje velik pomen trdni in poslovno uspešni skupini RMG kot edini družbi, ki je sposobna izpolnjevati obveznost univerzalne storitve v Združenem kraljestvu, hkrati pa izraža zaskrbljenost, da bi lahko umetno okrepljena RMG izrinila svoje manjše konkurente iz že tako težavnega trga s plenilskimi cenami, cenovnimi škarjami in zavrnitvijo dostopa do bistvenih zmogljivosti.
In this context the MCF urges far reaching ex ante regulatory measures to protect smaller competitors and ensure that they have access to the Royal Mail network.
V tem okviru forum MCF poziva k daljnosežnim predhodnim ureditvenim ukrepom za zaščito manjših konkurentov in zagotovitev njihovega dostopa do omrežja družbe Royal Mail.
MCF agrees with the United Kingdom in its assessment that RMG is a firm in difficulty and agrees with the application of the R&R Guidelines as the appropriate framework to assess the proposed measures.
MCF se strinja z oceno Združenega kraljestva, da je RMG podjetje v težavah, ter z uporabo smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje kot ustreznim okvirjem za oceno predlaganih ukrepov.
Moreover, it notes that the United Kingdom does not seek to justify the aid on grounds that such aid is necessary to sustain an SGEI, but it records that in case that any SGEI compensation to RMG would be authorised by the Commission, it would need to be coupled with rigorous safeguards to protect competition.
Poleg tega ugotavlja, da Združeno kraljestvo ne poskuša upravičiti pomoči s tem, da je taka pomoč potrebna za ohranitev storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena, temveč navaja, da bi se v primeru, če bi Komisija skupini RMG odobrila kakršno koli nadomestilo za storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, to moralo povezovati s strogimi varovalnimi ukrepi za zaščito konkurence.
The MCF believes that the measures should be confined to the strict minimum necessary and designed to deal with the pension deficit alone.
MCF je prepričan, da morajo biti ukrepi omejeni na nujno potrebne in oblikovani tako, da obravnavajo samo pokojninski primanjkljaj.
MCF rejects any balance sheet repair measures or any other measures undertaken with a view to making the firm more attractive for a market economy investor.
MCF zavrača vsakršne ukrepe za popravo bilance stanja ali druge ukrepe, ki se izvajajo z namenom, da bi podjetje postalo privlačnejše za tržne vlagatelje.
In this context MCF expresses scepticism about a privatisation of the firm.
S tega vidika je MCF skeptičen glede privatizacije družbe.
With respect to the own contribution of 50 % required under the R&R Guidelines for large undertakings, MCF urges a strict adherence to the prescribed threshold and recommends the divestiture of assets and seizure of loss-making activities to finance this.
Glede 50-odstotnega lastnega prispevka, ki ga zahtevajo smernice za reševanje in prestrukturiranje za velika podjetja, MCF poziva k strogemu upoštevanju predpisanega praga ter za financiranje tega priporoča odsvojitev sredstev in odvzem dejavnosti, ki ustvarjajo izgubo.
With regards to compensatory measures the MCF believes that a number of far reaching structural, fiscal and regulatory measures are necessary including a reform of the UK Postal Services Act with a view to preventing the RMG from getting additional aid for the same purpose in the future, a full structural separation of the retail and network aspects of the business, and an end to the VAT exemption enjoyed by RMG for services which are outside the universal service.
Glede izravnalnih ukrepov MCF meni, da so potrebni številni daljnosežni strukturni, davčni in ureditveni ukrepi, vključno z reformo zakona Združenega kraljestva o poštnih storitvah, s čimer bi se preprečilo, da bi skupina RMG v prihodnje prejela dodatno pomoč za isti namen, zagotovilo popolno strukturno ločevanje maloprodajnih in omrežnih vidikov poslovanja ter odpravila oprostitev plačila DDV, ki jo je RMG uživala za storitve, ki ne spadajo v okvir univerzalne storitve.
Comments submitted by Secured Mail
Pripombe, ki jih je predložila družba Secured Mail
Secured Mail points to the importance of RMG for the discharge of the USO in the United Kingdom.
Družba Secured Mail poudarja pomen skupine RMG pri zagotavljanju obveznosti univerzalne storitve v Združenem kraljestvu.
At the same time Secured Mail urges the Commission to ensure that RMG will not gain the opportunity to exploit its new found strength in a way which would endanger the smaller competitor’s business model.
Obenem pa Secured Mail poziva Komisijo, naj zagotovi, da skupina RMG ne bo dobila priložnosti, da izkorišča svojo novo odkrito moč na način, ki bi ogrozil poslovni model manjših konkurentov.
