It could not conclude whether the geographic market is the European Economic Area (hereinafter ‘EEA’), or, as suggested by Hungary, consists at least of the combined markets of all of Europe, North and South America and China.
Pristop neto povečanja zmogljivosti (tj. odbitek obstoječe zmogljivosti od celotne načrtovane zmogljivosti) bi Komisiji preprečil oceno učinka državne pomoči na trge, ki so v upadu in trpijo zaradi strukturnih presežkov, povsod, kjer naložba v obliki pomoči obstoječe zmogljivosti ne bi povečala za več kot 5 odstotkov velikosti trga.
The analysis under paragraph 68 (a) of the RAG 2007-13 established that the applicable 25 % market share threshold is exceeded in the individual and combined A and B segments in the EEA in all the years concerned, and in the combined A0 to B segment as from 2011.
Vendar je bil preizkus iz odstavka 68(b) uveden ravno z namenom, da se prepoznajo okoliščine, ko je trg v upadu in ima velikost naložbe pomoči velik vpliv na konkurenco.
For the analysis under paragraph 68(b) the Commission established that the relevant product markets were underperforming in the EEA; therefore the Commission had to verify whether the capacities created by the project exceed 5 % of the size of the relevant markets.
Analiza naložbenega projekta (razen obrata za preoblikovanje pločevine) iz odstavka 68(b) je pokazala, da bi bil 5-odstotni prag presežen samo, če bi se skupna proizvodna zmogljivost uporabila za proizvodnjo avtomobilov iz segmenta B. Glede na ocene proizvodnje, ki jih navaja Madžarska, je malo verjetno, da bo 5-odstotni prag presežen v kateri koli od verjetnih segmentacij avtomobilskega trga.
The Commission considered that, for the application of the paragraph 68(b) test, the gross capacity increase approach is appropriate.
Glede na zmogljivost, ustvarjeno za proizvodnjo delov karoserije v obratu za preoblikovanje pločevine, analiza iz odstavka 68(b) kaže, da se lahko prag 5 odstotkov preseže le, če se delež proizvodnje avtomobilov za segment B v mestu Győr znatno poveča.
The net capacity increase approach (i.e. deduction of existing capacity from the total planned capacity) would prevent the Commission from assessing the effect of State aid on markets in decline and suffering from structural overcapacities, whenever the assisted investment would not expand the existing capacity by more than 5 % of the size of the market.
Zato je Komisija pustila odprto vprašanje o tem, ali zmogljivost obrata za preoblikovanje pločevine presega 5 odstotkov velikosti trga, izmerjene s pomočjo podatkov o očitni porabi zadevnega proizvoda pred naložbo.
However, the paragraph 68(b) test has been introduced with the very objective of identifying those situations where the market is in decline and the size of the assisted investment has a major impact on competitors.
Ker Komisija ni mogla zaključiti, da pragova iz odstavkov 68 (a) in (b) Smernic 2007–2013 nista bila presežena, se je odločila sprožiti uraden postopek preiskave.
The analysis under paragraph 68(b) for the investment project (except the press shop) showed that the 5 % threshold would only be exceeded if the total production capacity would be used for the manufacturing of B segment cars.
Še posebej je navedla, da bo izvedla poglobljeno presojo naložbenega projekta na osnovi IDAC, če pripombe v odgovor na sprožitev uradne preiskave Komisiji ne bi omogočile, da brez kakršnega koli dvoma ugotovi, da zadevna pragova nista presežena.
Based on the production estimates as indicated by Hungary, it is highly unlikely that the 5 % threshold will be exceeded for any of the plausible car market segmentations.
Madžarska in zainteresirane tretje strani so bile pozvane k predložitvi pripomb.
With regard to the capacity created for the production of body parts by the press shop, the analysis under paragraph 68(b) shows that the 5 % threshold might only be exceeded if the share of the B segment car production in Győr was significantly increased.
PRIPOMBE ZAINTERESIRANIH STRANI
Therefore, the Commission left the question open whether the press shop capacity exceeds 5 % of the size of the market measured using apparent consumption data of the product concerned before the investment.
Zainteresirane tretje strani niso podale pripomb.
As the Commission could not establish that the thresholds laid down in paragraph 68 (a) and (b) of the RAG 2007-13 were not exceeded, it decided to open the formal investigation procedure.
PRIPOMBE MADŽARSKE
It stated in particular that if the comments received in reply to the opening of the formal investigation would not allow the Commission to conclude without any doubt that the relevant thresholds are not exceeded, it would carry out an in-depth assessment of the investment project on the basis of the IDAC.
UPOŠTEVNI PROIZVODNI TRG
Hungary and interested third parties were invited to submit their comments.
Madžarska ohranja stališče, da je treba proizvodni trg opredeliti kot združena segmenta A0 do B (klasifikacija POLK).
COMMENTS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES
Madžarski organi so še vedno mnenja, da na strani povpraševanja na mejah vsakega posameznega upoštevnega segmenta osebnih vozil obstaja trajnost, kot je Komisija ugotovila v svoji prejšnji odločbi [16].
No comments were submitted by interested third parties.
Glede na to, da na strani povpraševanja obstaja možnost verižne zamenljivosti segmentov A0 in B v segmentu A, madžarski organi zadevne segmente obravnavajo kot združeno segmentno skupino.
THE RELEVANT PRODUCT MARKET
UPOŠTEVNI GEOGRAFSKI TRG
Hungary maintains its position that the product market should be defined as the combined segments A0 to B (POLK classification).
Madžarska ohranja stališče, da je upoštevni geografski trg za avtomobilsko industrijo globalni trg, in znova navaja argumente, navedene v fazi priglasitve:
The Hungarian authorities continue to be of the view that demand-side substitutability exists at the margins of each relevant individual passenger car segment as recognised by the Commission in its previous decisions [16].
Cene, ki se po regijah spreminjajo na podoben način, so pomemben kazalnik obstoja integriranih trgov.
Since there is the possibility of a demand side chain of substitution of A0 and B segments across the A segment, the Hungarian authorities consider the affected segments as a combined segment group.
Rezultati analize indeksov cen [18] na osnovi podatkov o cenah za EGP in ZDA kažejo, da se indeksi cen za segmenta A in B premikajo skupaj in da je med njimi visoka stopnja korelacije.
They also argue that it is the very purpose of the introduction of the MQB technology to increase supply-side flexibility, enabling the beneficiary to manufacture passenger cars for segments A0, A and B on the same MQB based production line, and allowing to shift production from one market to another; the effects of the aid can be felt on all of these markets.
To vodi do zaključka, da sta vsaj ZDA in EGP del istega geografskega trga.
THE RELEVANT GEOGRAPHIC MARKET
Stroški vzpostavitve globalnega distribucijskega omrežja so tako neznatni, da ne predstavljajo ovire za dobičkonosno globalno prodajo vozil.
Hungary maintains its view that the relevant geographic market for the automotive industry is the global market, reiterating the arguments submitted in the notification phase:
Ker se prevozni stroški nižajo, se konstantno veča stopnja izvoza in uvoza vozil.
The trade flows and the import and export quotas [17] of the EEA have reached a level which indicates that vehicle trading takes place in a global market.
Vsak tretji avtomobil, proizveden v EU, se izvozi in vsak peti avtomobil, prodan v EU, je uvožen.
Concerning the trade barriers, there is a trend over recent years that regulatory barriers are falling, there are low trade barriers between many countries and the EEA, and there is a general movement toward a higher degree of harmonisation and integration.
Skupina Volkswagen je globalni proizvajalec avtomobilov, ki svojo globalno konkurenco najde v drugih proizvajalcih originalne opreme (v nadaljnjem besedilu: proizvajalci originalne opreme ali POO).
Prices that move similarly across regions are an important indicator for the existence of integrated markets.
Deset največjih proizvajalcev originalne opreme si lasti precejšnje število proizvodnih obratov po vsem svetu.
The results of the analysis of price indices [18] based on pricing data for the EEA and the US, show that price indices for A and B segments move together and that the correlations between them are high.
Skupina Volkswagen upravlja 100 proizvodnih obratov, ki se nahajajo v Evropi, Severni Ameriki, Južni Ameriki, Afriki in Aziji.
This allows the conclusion that at least the US and the EEA are part of the same geographic market.
Na mnogih proizvodnih lokacijah se proizvajajo avtomobili iz segmentov A in B. Odvisne družbe večjih proizvajalcev originalne opreme so ravno tako notranji tekmeci v zvezi z odločitvijo o lokaciji.
The costs of establishing a global distribution network are so negligibly small that they do not constitute an obstacle to profitable global sales of vehicles.
Zato Madžarska meni, da je upoštevni geografski trg širši od EGP in vključuje vsaj celotno Evropo, Severno in Južno Ameriko ter Kitajsko.
As transport costs are decreasing, export and import levels of vehicles are continuously increasing.
Poleg tega Madžarska poudarja, da je mesto Győr edina proizvodna lokacija na svetu za modele AUDI TT coupé, AUDI TT roadster in AUDI A3 cabriolet in zato naslavlja globalno povpraševanje.
Every third car produced in the EU is exported and every fifth car sold in the EU is imported.
Tudi proizvodnja modela A3 sedan se iz mesta Győr distribuira po vsem svetu (razen za tiste modele, ki so proizvedeni izključno za kitajski trg v mestu Foshan na Kitajskem).
The Volkswagen Group is a global car manufacturer facing global competition with other original equipment manufacturers (hereinafter ‘OEMs’).
ZMOGLJIVOST
The ten largest OEMs have a significant number of manufacturing sites all over the world.
Madžarski organi so prepričani, da se mora pri preizkusu iz odstavka 68(b) uporabiti pristop neto povečanja zmogljivosti.
The Volkswagen Group operates 100 production plants, which are located in Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Asia.
Cilj naložbenega projekta je med drugim tudi širitev obstoječega obrata v mestu Győr.
A high number of these production locations manufacture vehicles belonging to the A and B segments.
Vertikalna integracija proizvodnega procesa pomeni, da bo prejšnja zmogljivost proizvodnje ([60000–110000] vozil segmentov A in B letno) zdaj premestila v novi obrat za sestavljanje in nove proizvodne objekte.
The subsidiaries of large OEMs also compete internally in respect of location decisions.
Madžarska poudarja, da ne glede na to (i) ali je vozilo samo sestavljeno v zadevnem obratu ali proizvedeno v sklopu vertikalno integriranega proizvodnega procesa oziroma (ii) ali ima nova generacija modelov drugačne lastnosti, končni izdelek ostane v istem segmentu.
Therefore Hungary considers that the relevant geographic market is wider than the EEA, and includes at least all Europe, North and South America, and China.
Zato bo zmogljivost proizvodnje [60000–110000] vozil letno, ki je bila dosežena pred naložbenih projektom, kot rezultat naložbenega projekta zagotovljena tudi nadalje.
In addition, Hungary emphasises that Győr is worldwide the only production site for the AUDI TT Coupé, AUDI TT Roadster, AUDI A3 Cabriolet and thus addresses global demand.
Poleg obstoječe zmogljivosti se bo obseg proizvodnje povečal za dodatnih [60000–80000] vozil.
The Győr production of the A3 Sedan is also distributed globally (except for those manufactured exclusively for the Chinese market in Foshan, China).
Tako bo neto povečanje zmogljivosti prineslo največ [60000–80000] vozil letno v enaki segmentni skupini (A do B) kot prej.
CAPACITY CONSIDERATIONS
To neto povečanje zmogljivosti ne presega 5-odstotnega pragu iz odstavka 68(b) Smernic 2007–2013.
The Hungarian authorities maintain that the net capacity increase approach should be used in the paragraph 68(b) test.
Madžarski organi menijo, da […]-odstotni delež proizvodnje v obratu za preoblikovanje pločevine, ki bo uporabljen v segmentu vozil B, proizvedenih v drugih proizvodnih lokacijah skupine VW, ne bo pomenil splošnega povečanja proizvodnje avtomobilov za segment B v skupin VW, saj se bodo zunaj nabavljeni deli karoserije zgolj nadomestili z lastnimi.
The objective of the investment project is among others the extension of the existing plant in Győr.
Po navedbah Madžarske bi metoda izračunavanja, ki jo je Komisija uporabila v odločitvi o sprožitvi postopka, privedla zgolj do dvojnega štetja proizvodnih zmogljivosti, ustvarjenih v skupini VW.
The vertical integration of the production process implies that the former capacity ([60000-110000] vehicles per year of the segments A and B) will now be handled by the newly constructed assembly plant and newly created production facilities.
Poleg tega bodo, kot že omenjeno v uvodni izjavi 17 tega sklepa, zaradi sprememb načrtov upravičenke ti deli karoserije uporabljeni za proizvodnjo avtomobilov segmentov A0 do C.
Hungary argues that regardless of (i) whether a vehicle is only assembled in a given plant or manufactured within a vertically integrated production process or (ii) whether the new generation models might have different features, the end product remains in the same segment.
UPORABA SPOROČILA O PODROBNI OCENI POMOČI
Thus, the capacity of [60000-110000] vehicles per year that was produced (assembled) before the investment project will also be produced afterwards as a result of the investment project.
Madžarski organi so mnenja, da glede na zgoraj predstavljene argumente v zvezi s pravilno opredelitvijo upoštevnih izdelkov in geografskega trga ter uporabo pristopa neto povečanja zmogljivosti, pragovi iz odstavka 68 Smernic 2007–2013 niso prekoračeni in se lahko pomoč odobri brez nadaljnjega postopka podrobne ocene pomoči.
In addition to this existing capacity, there will be a further production capacity of [60000-80000] vehicles.
PODROBNA OCENA UKREPA POMOČI
Thus, the net capacity increase would amount to a maximum of [60000-80000] vehicles per year in the same segment group (A to B) as before.
Kljub temu je Madžarska podala vse potrebne informacije za izvedbo podrobne ocene.
This net capacity increase does not exceed the 5 % threshold laid down in paragraph 68(b) of the RAG 2007-13.
Pozitivni učinki pomoči
The Hungarian authorities considered that the […] % share of the output of the press shop which will be used in B segment vehicles manufactured in other production sites of the VW Group will not lead to an increase of the overall production of B segment cars within the VW Group, as they will solely replace the externally purchased pressed body parts by self-produced ones.
Madžarska meni, da naložba doprinaša k regionalnemu razvoju mesta Győr in Zahodnega Podonavja iz naslednjih razlogov:
According to Hungary, the calculation method applied by the Commission in the opening decision would merely lead to a double counting of the production capacity created within the VW Group.
naložbeni projekt ustvarja 2100 neposrednih novih delovnih mest in v regiji Zahodnega Podonavja ohranja visoko izobražene zaposlene ter bo v prihodnje ustvaril še dodatno povpraševanje po tovrstni delovni sili.
In addition, as mentioned in recital 17 of this decision, due to changes of the beneficiary's plans these body parts would be used for the production of cars belonging to A0 to C segments.
Znaten delež novo zaposlenih delavcev bo imel visokošolsko ali univerzitetno izobrazbo.
APPLICATION OF THE IDAC
Poleg tega bo v regiji ustvarjenih veliko posrednih delovnih mest prek dobaviteljev in ponudnikov storitev.
The Hungarian authorities consider that based on the above presented arguments concerning the correct definition of the relevant product and geographic market as well as the application of a net capacity increase approach, the thresholds laid down in paragraph 68 of the RAG 2007-13 are not exceeded and the aid could be authorised without proceeding to an in-depth assessment of the aid.
Multiplikacijski faktor zaposlovanja je 2,5 posrednih delovnih mest na ravni dobaviteljev [19] na eno neposredno ustvarjeno delovno mesto, medtem kot multiplikacijski faktor za delovna mesta, ustvarjena s potrošnjo dobaviteljevih zaposlenih, znaša 2,2 na neposredno delovno mesto.
IN-DEPTH ASSESSMENT OF THE AID MEASURE
Kot rezultat tega bo posredno ustvarjenih 9870 delovnih mest.
Nonetheless, Hungary provided information necessary to carry out an in-depth assessment.
Regija bo imela koristi od pomembnih učinkov prelivanja znanja: že pred naložbo je upravičena družba aktivno sodelovala z univerzitetnimi partnerji in z njimi izvedla 15 raziskovalnih in razvojnih (R&R) projektov letno.
Positive effects of the aid
Po zaključku naložbe se predvideva, da se bo letno število projektov R&R podvojilo, saj družba AHM namerava sodelovanje na področju raziskav in razvoja razširiti še na Univerzo Miskolc in Univerzo Óbuda ter okrepiti že obstoječe sodelovanje z Univerzo Széchenyi István v mestu Győr ter Tehnično univerzo v Budimpešti [20].
Hungary considers that the investment contributes to the regional development of Győr and Western Transdanubia for the following reasons:
Upravičenka je bila ustanovna članica organizacije Pannon Automotive Cluster (PANAC), ki deluje v tej regiji in dobavitelje iz avtomobilske industrije povezuje z drugimi podjetji (svetovalnimi, finančnimi, logističnimi itd.).
The investment project creates 2100 new direct jobs and keeps high-skilled employees in the Western Transdanubia region and will create further demand for such workforce.
Naložba bo sprožila nadaljnje pozitivne učinke za razvoj grozdov, saj bo privabila večje število industrijskih dobaviteljev in dodatne naložbe.
A significant part of the new employees will have a college or university degree.
Grozdenje bo pospešilo razvoj Zahodnega Podonavja, saj bo zaradi bližine prineslo zunanjo ekonomijo obsega in ustvarilo polje za inovacije in infrastrukturni napredek.
In addition, a large number of indirect jobs will be created in the region by suppliers and service providers.
Upravičenka organizira redna (notranja in zunanja) usposabljanja za zaposlene in s tem prispeva k prenosu znanja v regiji.
The employment multiplier is 2,5 indirect jobs at the supplier level [19] per direct job created, while the multiplier for jobs induced through the spending of the suppliers' employees is 2,2 jobs per direct job created.
Ustreznost pomoči
This results in the indirect creation of 9870 jobs.
Madžarski organi so pojasnili, da so pred odločitvijo o odobritvi pomoči z namenom pospešitve regionalnega razvoja Zahodnega Podonavja obravnavali druge ukrepe, na primer za nadaljnji razvoj javne infrastrukture ali izboljšanje izobraževalnega sistema.
The region will benefit from important knowledge spill-over effects: already before the investment the beneficiary has been actively cooperating with its university partners by carrying out 15 research and development (R & D) projects per year.
Vendar so bili v prejšnjih letih že sprejeti naslednji splošni ukrepi:
After the completion of the investment, the yearly number of R & D projects is expected to double as AHM plans to extend its R & D cooperation with the University of Miskolc and the Óbuda University, and to deepen the existing relations with the Széchenyi István University in Győr and the Budapest Technical University [20].
izgradnja avtoceste M1, ki povezuje Budimpešto in avstrijsko-madžarsko mejo in poteka čez regijo Zahodnega Podonavja,
The beneficiary was a founding member of the Pannon Automotive Cluster (PANAC), which operates in the region and brings together automotive suppliers and other companies (advisory, financial, logistics etc.).
vzpostavitev poslovnega parka v mestu Győr,
The investment will trigger further positive cluster effects by attracting a large number of industrial suppliers and further investments.
obnovitvena dela na železniški liniji Budimpešta–Győr–Hegyeshalom,
Clustering will contribute to the development of the Western Transdanubia region by achieving external economies of scale as a result of proximity, and creating a zone of innovation and infrastructural development.
nekateri ukrepi na področju izobraževanja, na primer odobritev univerzitetne stopnje na eni od lokalnih visokošolskih ustanov (univerza Széchenyi István).
The beneficiary provides regular (in-house and external) training for its own employees, thus contributing to the know-how transfer into the region.
Klub zgoraj omenjenim ukrepom je regija še vedno premalo razvita v primerjavi z nekaterimi sosedskimi regijami (Gradiščanska in Bratislava) in povprečjem v Evropski uniji v smislu BDP na prebivalca, stopnje zaposlovanja, infrastrukture in izobraževanja.
Appropriateness of the aid
Sklenjeno je bilo, da je državna pomoč za ta velik naložbeni projekt najbolj učinkovit instrument za doseganje in spodbujanje razvoja v regiji.
The Hungarian authorities explained that prior to making their aid granting decision, in view of furthering regional development of the Western Transdanubian region, other policy measures, for instance, to develop further the public infrastructure or to improve the education system had been considered.
Poleg tega so madžarski organi poudarili, da tudi, če se pomoč obravnava kot selektiven ukrep, je bila zagotovljena na osnovi shem pomoči, ki so upravičene tudi do vseh drugih investitorjev na Madžarskem, če ti izpolnjujejo posebna merila, določena z zakonodajo.
In previous years, however, the following general policy measures had already been taken:
Spodbujevalni učinek/hipotetični scenarij
the construction of the M1 motorway that links Budapest and the Austrian-Hungarian border by crossing the region of Western Transdanubia,
Madžarska je predložila informacije v dokaz tega, da pomoč spada v okvir Scenarija 2 sporočila o podrobni oceni pomoči, saj upravičeni družbi nudi spodbudo za izvedbo celotne naložbe v obrat v mestu Győr in ne za delno naložbo v [lokacijo 1 v regiji EGP, ki ni upravičena do pomoči] in delno naložbo v [lokacijo 2 v regiji EGP, ki je upravičena do pomoči in v skladu s členom 107(3)(c) PDEU].
the establishment of a business park in Győr,
Madžarska je predvsem predložila relevantne, pristne in aktualne dokumente podjetja, ki prikazujejo večstopenjski proces odločanja v zvezi z lokacijo naložbe ter vsebujejo finančne podatke za hipotetični scenarij, kar je oboje opisano spodaj.
the reconstruction work on the Budapest-Győr-Hegyeshalom railway line,
Proces odločanja upravičene družbe
certain developments in the field of education, such as granting a university rank to one of the local higher education institutions (Széchenyi István University).
V skupini VW se odločitve o naložbah sprejemajo na podlagi večstopenjskega procesa odločanja, v katerem določevalci različna mesta analizirajo s postopkom konkurenčne primerjave.
Despite the above mentioned developments, the region is still underdeveloped in comparison with certain neighbouring regions (Burgenland and Bratislava) and the average of the European Union in terms of GDP per capita, employment, infrastructure and education.
Glavne stopnje procesa so: (1) Dolgoročno načrtovanje prodaje (LAP) in načrtovanje ciklov, (2) Razvoj izdelkov, odločitve o izdelkih in predizbor lokacij ter (3) Odločitve o naložbah in lokacijah.
It was concluded that State aid for this large investment project was a more efficient instrument to target and promote the development of the region.
Postopek odločanja v zvezi s priglašeno naložbo je sledil temu splošnemu procesu.
The Hungarian Authorities also point out that even if the aid can be regarded as a selective measure, it was provided on the basis of aid schemes that are also eligible to any other investors in Hungary if they fulfil the specific criteria set forth in the legislation.
Ker gre za naložbo pravno neodvisne blagovne znamke AUDI, je morala biti glavna odločitev sprejeta na ravni blagovne znamke, potrjena pa na ravni skupine.
Incentive effect/Counter-factual scenario
Uvedba novih izdelkov v okviru skupine VW sledi tako imenovanemu procesu ustvarjanja izdelkov (PEP), ki obsega od načrtovanja izdelkov do zagona proizvodnje (SOP).
