Germany disagrees with the complainant’s statement that the TAZV plant was tailored to the technical needs of Propapier: the two-stage treatment of waste water is not specific to the paper industry but is common in many different industrial sectors, and several communal sewage plants comprise treatment of the waste water in two stages.
Nemčija zavrača trditve pritožnika, da imajo papirnice običajno lastne kanalizacijske sisteme in da se jim ni treba povezati z občinskim kanalizacijskim sistemom.
The technical characteristics of the TAZV plant (two-stage biological process) were based on current technical standards, taking into account that a substantial part of the waste water would be highly polluted.
Navaja tudi, da podjetje Propapier zakon obvezuje [20], da se mora povezati s čistilno napravo TAZV in jo uporabljati.
Germany admits that communal sewage plants which treat only sanitary waste water or lightly polluted water do not normally have an extra pretreatment stage, but emphasises that the two-stage treatment is common practice for those which have to treat industrial waste water.
Izjeme od obveznosti povezave so zelo omejene (le v primerih, ko je to nemogoče ali nesmiselno).
Germany provided a list of 18 paper plants in Germany producing recycled paper and connected to communal sewage plants, claiming that both types of communal sewage plants (one-stage or two-stage) are in use in the paper sector.
O čiščenju odpadnih voda v papirnicah obstaja le malo javno dostopnih podatkov, vendar ti podatki kažejo, da je veliko papirnic povezanih s komunalnimi čistilnimi napravami odpadnih voda.
According to Germany, the waste water treatment plant forms part of a bundle of general infrastructure measures undertaken to develop the Oder-Spree-Kanal area.
Infrastruktura ni posebej namenjena podjetju Propapier
None of these measures are dedicated to any single undertaking.
Nemčija se ne strinja z navedbo pritožnika, da je bila čistilna naprava TAZV prilagojena tehničnim potrebam podjetja Propapier: čiščenje odpadnih voda v dveh fazah ni značilno za papirno industrijo, temveč je običajno v veliko različnih industrijskih sektorjih; več komunalnih čistilnih naprav odpadne vode čisti v dveh fazah.
Decisions about construction, connection to and use of the plant fall outside the discretion of Propapier or potential users.
Tehnične značilnosti čistilne naprave TAZV (dvofazni biološki postopek) so temeljile na veljavnih tehničnih standardih, ob upoštevanju dejstva, da bi bil precejšen del odpadne vode zelo onesnažen.
Germany rejects the allegation that the TAZV waste water treatment plant was constructed specifically for Propapier.
Nemčija priznava, da komunalne čistilne naprave, ki čistijo le sanitarno odpadno vodo ali malo onesnaženo vodo, običajno nimajo dodatne faze predhodnega čiščenja, vendar poudarja, da je dvofazno čiščenje običajna praksa pri čiščenju tehnološke odpadne vode.
Germany explains that the construction was already planned in the context of other potential investments in 2004-2006, long before the arrival of Propapier.
Nemčija je predložila seznam 18 papirnic v Nemčiji, ki proizvajajo recikliran papir in so povezane s komunalnimi čistilnimi napravami, ter navedla, da se v sektorju papirja uporabljata obe vrsti komunalne čistilne naprave (z eno fazo in dvema fazama).
Germany explains that the existing capacity of waste water treatment infrastructure outside the industrial area was limited, and that its residual available capacity would only be sufficient to cover the needs of one additional (minor) investor; Germany confirms that 5N PV was indeed initially connected to the existing plant.
Po navedbah Nemčije je čistilna naprava odpadnih voda del svežnja splošnih infrastrukturnih ukrepov, sprejetih za razvoj območja ob kanalu Oder-Spree.
Germany argues that the fact that the establishment of Propapier prompted the start on construction of the long-planned waste water treatment plant cannot be understood as a selective advantage for Propapier.
Nobeden od ukrepov pa ni namenjen posameznemu podjetju.
Germany refers to the Opinion of Advocate General van Greven, who confirmed in Case C-255/91 (Matra v Commission) [21] that it is inevitable that in the start-up period the infrastructure is mainly used by the first company that has settled in the newly set-up industrial zone.
Za odločitve glede izgradnje čistilne naprave, povezave z njo in njene uporabe ni pristojno podjetje Propapier ali morebitni uporabniki.
This will however change if the region develops, as hoped for.
Nemčija zavrača navedbe, da je bila čistilna naprava odpadnih voda TAZV zgrajena posebej za podjetje Propapier.
Germany reports that all three undertakings currently established in the industrial park ‘Industriegebiet am Oder-Spree-Kanal’, namely Propapier, 5N PV and the EnBW power plant, are connected to and use the waste water treatment plant.
Nemčija še pojasnjuje, da je bila izgradnja načrtovana že v okviru drugih morebitnih naložb v obdobju 2004‒2006, tj. veliko pred prihodom podjetja Propapier.
Germany explains that several further establishments have been considered at different times (one or two fuel surrogate plants, a photovoltaic glass plant, investment proposals made to several investors in different sectors, and several potential investors have visited the site) but that, especially in the light of the crisis which has affected disadvantaged areas particularly badly, the further development of the industrial area will take time.
Nemčija nadalje pojasnjuje, da je bila obstoječa zmogljivost infrastrukture za čiščenje odpadnih voda zunaj industrijskega območja omejena in da bi preostale razpoložljive zmogljivosti zadostovale le za potrebe enega dodatnega (manjšega) vlagatelja; Nemčija potrjuje, da je bilo podjetje 5N PV sprva res povezano z obstoječo čistilno napravo.
Current capacity
Nemčija navaja, da dejstva, da je ustanovitev podjetja Propapier spodbudila začetek izgradnje dolgo načrtovane čistilne naprave odpadnih voda, ni mogoče razumeti kot selektivne prednosti za podjetje Propapier.
Germany rejects the allegations by the complainant that Germany has not indicated the waste water capacity for the TAZV plant users, that Propapier uses at least 90 % of the available capacity, and that there is no spare capacity.
Nemčija se sklicuje na sklepne predloge generalnega pravobranilca Van Gervna, ki je v zadevi C-255/91 (Matra proti Komisiji) [21] potrdil, da je neizogibno, da v začetnem obdobju infrastrukturo uporablja predvsem prvo podjetje, ki obratuje v novo nastali industrijski coni.
Germany maintains that, in its current configuration, the TAZV waste water treatment plant does have spare capacity for potential new investors.
Vendar se bo to spremenilo, če se bo regija razvila v skladu s pričakovanji.
The three current users together use a capacity of (< 500) [22] m3/h, and the maximum capacity of the TAZV plant is 638 m3/h.
Nemčija poroča, da so vsa tri podjetja, ki obratujejo v industrijskem parku „Industriegebiet am Oder-Spree-Kanal“, in sicer Propapier, 5N PV in elektrarna EnBW, povezana s čistilno napravo odpadnih voda in jo tudi uporabljajo.
The total capacity use is thus approximately (60-80) % and there is spare capacity of approximately (150-250) m3/h.
Nemčija pojasnjuje, da se je v različnih obdobjih obravnavalo več drugih obratov (en ali dva obrata za nadomestno gorivo, tovarna fotovoltaičnega stekla, naložbeni predlogi več vlagateljem v različnih sektorjih, območje je obiskalo več morebitnih vlagateljev), vendar bo zlasti zaradi krize, ki je močno vplivala na območja z omejenimi možnostmi, nadaljnji razvoj industrijskega območja trajal dlje časa.
The average capacity used by Propapier is (300-500) m3/h, and the maximum is (400-500) m3/h.
Sedanje zmogljivosti
Propapier thus uses (< 70) % on average and a maximum of (< 70) % of the total capacity of the TAZV plant.
Nemčija zavrača navedbe pritožnika, da Nemčija ni navedla zmogljivosti odpadne vode za uporabnike čistilne naprave TAZV, da podjetje Propapier uporablja najmanj 90 % razpoložljivih zmogljivosti ter da ni prostih zmogljivosti.
Modular design of the TAZV plant
Nemčija vztraja, da v sedanji konfiguraciji čistilna naprava odpadnih voda TAZV nima prostih zmogljivosti za morebitne nove vlagatelje.
Germany argues that the TAZV plant was intended from the outset to be extended in modular stages along with the step-by-step development of the Oder-Spree-Kanal industrial area.
Sedanji trije uporabniki skupaj koristijo zmogljivost [< 500] [22] m3/h, največja zmogljivost čistilne naprave pa je 638 m3/h.
The modular planning of the plant is reflected in the 2007 TAZV abstract, which refers to potentially highly polluted water from the paper industry, bio-ethanol production and other industrial sectors.
Zato je skupna uporaba zmogljivosti približno [60–80] %, proste zmogljivosti pa znašajo približno [150–250] m3/h.
Germany explains that essential parts of the plant in the current phase are already dimensioned for maximal capacity after expansion: e.g. the nominal diameter of the 5 km pipe conducting the water to the Oder after treatment is more than three times larger than necessary for the current construction phase (it can carry a volume of 1945 m3/h, whereas the current maximum capacity of the plant is only 638 m3/h), and TAZV has an option to expand the waste water treatment plant on a 3,3 ha adjacent land plot.
Podjetje Propapier v povprečju koristi zmogljivost [300–500] m3/h, največja zmogljivost pa znaša [400–500] m3/h.
Potential users will also have equal access to the waste water treatment plant after such modular expansion.
Podjetje Propapier torej povprečno uporablja [< 70] % in največ [< 70] % skupne zmogljivosti čistilne naprave TAZV.
Germany therefore maintains that the current high capacity utilisation share of the waste water treatment plant by Propapier is not proof of a selective advantage, but reflects only a snapshot picture, as the infrastructure is designed — through modular expansion — to serve further users under the same conditions.
Modularna zasnova čistilne naprave TAZV
This will take time, because the waste water treatment plant is part of an overall economic development plan for the region, involving several expansion areas in different phases.
Nemčija navaja, da so že od samega začetka obstajali načrti za razširitev čistilne naprave TAZV v modularnih fazah, hkrati s postopnim razvojem industrijskega območja ob kanalu Oder-Spree.
The current situation with only three established investors is a transitional phase in the development of the industrial areas in this region since 1994.
Modularno načrtovanje čistilne naprave je razvidno iz povzetka TAZV iz leta 2007, ki navaja morebitno močno onesnaženo vodo iz papirne industrije, proizvodnje bioetanola in drugih industrijskih sektorjev.
Approximately half of the Oder-Spree-Kanal industrial area (35 ha) is still available for new investors.
Nemčija pojasnjuje, da so glavni deli čistilne naprave v sedanji fazi že prilagojeni največji zmogljivosti po razširitvi: npr. nazivni premer petkilometrske cevi, ki vodo po čiščenju odvaja do reke Odre, je več kot trikrat večji od potreb sedanje faze izdelave (zmogljivost cevi je 1945 m3/h, sedanja največja zmogljivost čistilne naprave pa je le 638 m3/h); TAZV lahko čistilno napravo odpadnih voda razširi na sosednjo parcelo, veliko 3,3 ha.
Germany estimated in 2011 that this space would be occupied within a period of five years, and adds that further expansion would then still be possible in the new areas ‘Nordost’ (40 ha) and ‘Nord’ (160 ha).
Morebitni uporabniki bodo po taki modularni razširitvi imeli enak dostop do čistilne naprave odpadnih voda.
Germany rejects the complainant’s view that the modular design of the TAZV plant will not lead to economies of scale.
Nemčija zato vztraja, da sedanji velik del uporabe čistilne naprave odpadnih voda s strani podjetja Propapier ni dokaz o selektivni prednosti, temveč prikazuje le trenutno stanje, saj je infrastruktura prek modularne razširitve namenjena tudi drugim uporabnikom pod enakimi pogoji.
The German authorities explain that the modular extension of the TAZV plant is feasible in three phases, and for substantially lower costs per added m3 capacity compared with the initial investment:
To pa bo trajalo dlje časa, kajti čistilna naprava odpadnih voda je del splošnega načrta gospodarskega razvoja za regijo, ki vključuje več območij razširitve v različnih fazah.
Phase 1 (capacity increase of 33 %, adding 213 m3) is feasible within a few months and would cost EUR 1,2 to 1,5 million, for an extra industrial area of approximately 19 ha,
Sedanje razmere z le tremi vlagatelji so prehodno obdobje v razvoju industrijskih območij v tej regiji od leta 1994.
Phase 2 (capacity increase of 69 %, adding 426 m3) is feasible within a few months and would cost EUR 5,3 to 5,6 million, for an extra industrial area of approximately 38 ha,
Novim vlagateljem je na voljo približno polovica industrijskega območja (35 ha) ob kanalu Oder-Spree.
Phase 3 (expansion on adjacent land; capacity increase of 100 %, adding 638 m3) would cost EUR 17-18 million, for an extra industrial area of approximately 57 ha.
Nemčija je leta 2011 ocenila, da bo ta prostor zapolnjen v roku petih let, in dodala, da bi bil nadaljnja širitev mogoča še na novih območjih „Nordost“ (40 ha) in „Nord“ (160 ha).
A 100 % capacity increase would require exercising the option on the adjacent land plot and would cost up to EUR 18 million.
Nemčija zavrača mnenje pritožnika, da modularna zasnova čistilne naprave TAZV ne bo privedla do ekonomije obsega.
Germany argues that the modular design of the waste water treatment plant is in line with the need to use resources efficiently and economically, and is to be seen in the context of previous over-dimensioning of waste water treatment plants in the new German Länder.
Nemški organi pojasnjujejo, da je modularna razširitev čistilne naprave TAZV izvedljiva v treh fazah in za precej nižje stroške na dodani kubični meter zmogljivosti v primerjavi z začetno naložbo:
To sanction such modular design as a selective advantage would in fact be an invitation to uneconomically oversize public infrastructure.
prva faza (33-odstotno povečanje zmogljivosti z dodanimi 213 m3) je izvedljiva v roku nekaj mesecev ter bi stala med 1,2 in 1,5 milijona EUR za dodatno industrijsko območje v približni velikosti 19 ha,
In addition, the fees would not cover the costs for such oversizing.
druga faza (69-odstotno povečanje zmogljivosti z dodanimi 426 m3) je izvedljiva v roku nekaj mesecev ter bi stala med 5,3 in 5,6 milijona EUR za dodatno industrijsko območje v približni velikosti 38 ha,
To characterise the current limitation of the plant as a selective advantage would result in encouraging uneconomic oversizing of infrastructure.
tretja faza (razširitev na sosednjo parcelo, 100-odstotno povečanje zmogljivosti z dodanimi 638 m3) bi stala med 17 in 18 milijoni EUR za dodatno industrijsko območje v približni velikosti 57 ha.
Germany claims that the press article referred to by the complainant (see recital 63) is not relevant.
dstotno povečanje zmogljivosti bi pomenilo uporabo sosednje parcele in bi stalo do 18 milijonov EUR.
According to Germany, to install an additional unused basin just for technical incidents would be contrary to the rules of frugal and economic planning imposed by the Gemeinschaftsaufgabe.
Nemčija navaja, da je modularna zasnova čistilne naprave odpadnih voda v skladu z učinkovito in gospodarno uporabo virov ter jo je treba obravnavati v okviru prejšnjega predimenzioniranja čistilnih naprav odpadnih voda v novih nemških zveznih deželah.
The complainant stated that users of the new TAZV plant pay lower fees than those of the existing municipal plant because the new plant does not need an extensive pipe system to connect all users.
Označevanje take modularne zasnove kot selektivne prednosti bi dejansko pomenilo nagovarjanje h gradnji negospodarno prevelike javne infrastrukture.
Germany rejects the conclusion by the complainant that this shows that no new users can be added to the new plant.
Poleg tega pa pristojbine ne bi krile stroškov prevelikih gradenj.
Germany holds that new industrial users can easily be connected, and that any limitation is mainly defined by the size of the pipe conducting the treated water to the Oder.
Označevanje sedanje omejitve čistilne naprave kot selektivne prednosti bi pomenilo spodbujanje negospodarno prevelike infrastrukture.
Germany rejects the allegation by the complainant that Propapier can use the biogas produced by the TAZV plant.
Nemčija navaja, da časopisni članek, ki ga omenja pritožnik (glej uvodno izjavo 63), ni pomemben.
There is no possibility for the waste water treatment plant users to use the biogas.
Po navedbah Nemčije bi bila namestitev dodatnega neizkoriščenega bazena le za tehnične incidente v nasprotju s predpisi o varčnem in gospodarnem načrtovanju, ki ga nalaga shema Gemeinschaftsaufgabe.
TAZV uses the biogas in its own 3 MW power plant.
Pritožnik je navedel, da uporabniki nove čistilne naprave TAZV plačujejo nižje pristojbine od tistih za obstoječo občinsko čistilno napravo, ker nova čistilna naprava ne potrebuje razvejanega sistema cevi za povezavo vseh uporabnikov.
Germany rejects the allegation that it only started to promote the industrial park to other potential investors after Smurfit Kappa’s complaint: as early as 1998, Eisenhüttenstadt entrusted the Investor Centre Ostbrandenburg with the promotion of industrial and commercial areas, including the Oder-Spree-Kanal area.
Nemčija zavrača ugotovitev pritožnika, da to pomeni, da se z novo čistilno napravo ne morejo povezati novi uporabniki.
Planning documents for the industrial park ‘Industriegebiet am Oder-Spree-Kanal’ have existed since 1995.
Nemčija vztraja, da se lahko novi industrijski uporabniki zlahka povežejo s čistilno napravo in da je morebitna omejitev opredeljena z velikostjo cevi, ki očiščeno vodo odvede v reko Odro.
Germany concludes that the TAZV plant does not constitute dedicated infrastructure to the benefit of Propapier.
Nemčija zavrača navedbo pritožnika, da lahko podjetje Propapier uporablja bioplin, ki ga proizvaja čistilna naprava TAZV.
Germany also concludes that the infrastructure measures in the extended industrial park ‘Industriegebiet am Oder-Spree-Kanal’ (construction and provision of waste water treatment plant and the other measures — parking, road, deepening/widening of the canal) are general development measures which do not constitute a selective advantage for Propapier and are not dedicated to the use of Propapier.
Uporabniki čistilne naprave odpadnih voda ne morejo uporabljati bioplina.
In Germany’s view, the fact that the infrastructure is currently used only by a limited number of primary settlers is a normal transitional stage in such a development process.
TAZV bioplin uporablja v lastni elektrarni z zmogljivostjo v višini 3 MW.
IS THERE AN ADVANTAGE TO PROPAPIER THROUGH REDUCED FEES FOR THE USE OF THE WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT?
Nemčija zavrača navedbo, da je industrijski park morebitnim vlagateljem začela ponujati šele po pritožbi podjetja Smurfit Kappa: mesto Eisenhüttenstadt je že leta 1998 investicijskemu centru Ostbrandenburg zaupalo trženje industrijskih in poslovnih območij, med drugim tudi območje ob kanalu Oder-Spree.
The complainant agrees with the Commission’s position as expressed in the opening decision (see recital 63 of the opening decision and recital 38 of this Decision) that aid scheme N 644e/02 does not cover the fees for the use of the waste water treatment plant.
Prostorski akti za industrijski park „Industriegebiet am Oder-Spree-Kanal“ obstajajo že od leta 1995.
The fees should therefore reflect the total cost of the use.
Nemčija ugotavlja, da čistilna naprava TAZV ne pomeni namenske infrastrukture v korist podjetja Propapier.
The fact that the calculation of the fees is based on legislation (Kommunalabgabengesetz) does not justify lower fees and the resulting advantage for Propapier.
Nemčija ugotavlja tudi, da so investicijski ukrepi v razširjenem industrijskem parku „Industriegebiet am Oder-Spree-Kanal“ (izgradnja in zagotovitev čistilne naprave odpadnih voda ter drugi ukrepi – parkirišče, cesta, širjenje/poglabljanje kanala) ukrepi za splošni razvoj, ki ne pomenijo selektivne prednosti za podjetje Propapier in niso izključno namenjeni uporabi z njegove strani.
The complainant argues that the waste water treatment plant does not provide a public service, but was built solely for predominant use by Propapier.
Nemčija meni, da je dejstvo, da infrastrukturo sedaj uporablja le omejeno število prvih naseljencev, običajna prehodna faza v takem postopku razvoja.
According to the complainant, the three tests (full cost test, private investor test, benchmark prices) proposed by the Commission in its opening decision all show that the fees charged provide Propapier with an economic advantage.
ALI IMA PODJETJE PROPAPIER ZARADI NIŽJIH PRISTOJBIN ZA UPORABO ČISTILNE NAPRAVE ODPADNIH VODA PREDNOST?
Full cost test
Pritožnik se strinja s stališčem, ki ga je Komisija izrazila v sklepu o začetku postopka (glej uvodno izjavo 63 sklepa o začetku postopka in uvodno izjavo 38 tega sklepa), da program pomoči N 644e/02 ne zajema pristojbin za uporabo čistilne naprave odpadnih voda.
The complainant further argues that not only Article 9 of the EU Water Framework Directive, but also the fact that most recycled paper mills have their own waste water treatment plant, favour the calculation of full costs.
Pristojbine bi morale zajemati vse stroške uporabe.
The fee paid by Propapier covers only 20 % of imputed interest on equity capital, and does not take account of the share of equity derived from the 80 % public contribution to the construction cost of the waste water treatment plant.
Dejstvo, da izračun pristojbin temelji na zakonodaji (Kommunalabgabengesetz), ne opravičuje nižjih pristojbin in s tem prednosti za podjetje Propapier.
Private investor test
Pritožnik navaja, da čistilna naprava odpadnih voda ne zagotavlja javne storitve, temveč je bila zgrajena izključno za prevladujočo uporabo s strani podjetja Propapier.
The complainant considers that, normally, a private operator or a paper mill owner wants to at least cover their full costs, and therefore this test corresponds to the above full cost analysis.
Po navedbah pritožnika vsi trije preizkusi (preizkus vseh stroškov, preizkus zasebnega vlagatelja, referenčne cene), ki jih je Komisija predlagala v sklepu o začetku postopka, kažejo, da zaračunane pristojbine podjetju Propapier dajejo gospodarsko prednost.
Benchmark prices
Preizkus vseh stroškov
The complainant agrees with the Commission’s position as expressed in the opening decision that it is not likely that the use of benchmark prices can exclude the presence of aid.
Pritožnik nadalje uveljavlja, da v prid izračuna vseh stroškov ne govori le člen 9 okvirne direktive EU o vodah, temveč tudi dejstvo, da ima večina reciklažnih papirnic lastno čistilno napravo odpadnih voda.
Comparing only paper mills using municipal sewage systems would not be representative, because most paper mills have their own waste water treatment plant.
Pristojbina, ki jo plačuje podjetje Propapier, krije le 20 % pripisanih obresti na vloženi kapital in ne upošteva deleža kapitala, ki izhaja iz 80-odstotnega javnega financiranja izgradnje čistilne naprave odpadnih voda.
The complainant makes a comparison with its own plant using the municipal sewage system in (confidential information), and calculates that taking into account a construction investment of EUR 42 million (as in Eisenhüttenstadt) Propapier would have to pay EUR 4/m3, which is far above what it now pays.
Pritožnik meni, da zasebni upravljavec ali lastnik papirnice običajno želi pokriti najmanj vse stroške, zato ta preizkus ustreza zgoraj navedeni analizi vseh stroškov.
The complainant claims that the article quoted by Germany was published in 2004 and is based on a study published in 2002 using data from 2000/2001.
Referenčne cene
