Therefore, the market barriers for new production facilities seem to be low.
Zato se za projekt ne pričakuje, da bo neupravičeno vplival na kanadski trg v zvezi s surovinami za lesne pelete.
The recent increase in pellet production capacity both in the US South-East and the Union [35] supports this observation.
Projekt se bo oskrboval večinoma z uvozom z jugovzhoda ZDA.
The amount of wood pellets required by Lynemouth represents approximately 5,5 % of the 2014 global wood pellet market.
Zato se preiskava morebitnih izkrivljanj na trgu surovin (lesnih vlaken) osredotoča na navedeno regijo.
This is substantially less than the 7,4 % estimated in the Opening Decision based on 2012 data.
Elektrarna v Lynemouthu bo z jugovzhoda ZDA uvozila približno 2 milijona ton svežega lesa (kar je približno 0,9 milijona suhih ton).
In view of the fact that new pellet mills can be built more or less in parallel with the conversion project in terms of duration (see recitals 59 and 60), it can be anticipated that additional capacity will become available with additional demand as confirmed by the envisaged supply chain for the project.
To je 1,7 % celotne ponudbe vlakninskega lesa v letu 2011 na jugovzhodu ZDA in 0,9 % celotnega odvzema v navedeni regiji v istem letu.
Also looking at the past, imports and consumption levels have increased rapidly in the Union which is another indicator that the wood pellet market can absorb large increases in wood pellet demand.
Taki majhni deleži sami po sebi niso jasni kazalniki neupravičenih izkrivljanj na trgu surovin.
It is also noted that the spot price in the US South-East, the main area from which the project is anticipated to source wood pellets, did not change significantly (Figure 6) while imports in the Union from that region increased (Figure 5).
Natančneje, ob upoštevanju vseh odvzemov učinek ne bi povzročil neupravičenih izkrivljanj na trgu.
The analysis shows that the market for wood pellets is global and can accommodate growth in the wood pellet demand as expected to result from the project.
Poleg tega ti podatki zajemajo le vlakninski les, ne pa tudi drugih vhodnih surovin, kot so ostanki sečnje in ostanki pri žaganju, ki se lahko deloma prav tako uporabijo za proizvodnjo lesnih peletov.
The Commission therefore concludes that the aid does not adversely affect trading conditions on the wood pellet market to an extent contrary to the common interest (CO2 savings and increased generation of electricity from renewable energy sources).
Vendar so nekatere tretje strani trdile, da bi se lahko zaradi povečanja proizvodnje peletov zvišale cene surovin (vlakninskega lesa) na jugovzhodu ZDA.
Distortion in the raw material market.
Komisija ugotavlja, da povprečna (promptna) cena surovin na jugovzhodu ZDA, kot je prikazano na sliki 2, še vedno ne presega preteklega okvira.
The Commission noted in the Opening Decision (see recital 75 of the Opening Decision) that increased demand for wood pellets can lead to further distortions in the raw material market (that is the wood fibre market).
Zato se zvišanje cen od leta 2011 ne zdi nenavadno.
In this respect it is recalled that the aid is granted for the MWh of electricity produced by the Lynemouth plant.
Leta 2010 so bile cene celo višje, domnevno zaradi vremenskih pojavov.
The potential distortions in the wood pellet market and raw material market do not result from direct subsidies for wood pellets or raw material but from the increased demand of fuel for electricity generation.
Poleg tega je Združeno kraljestvo trdilo, da je na trg ZDA še vedno vplivalo manjše povpraševanje po finančni krizi.
In addition, the effects on the raw material market are indirect compared to the distortions in the wood pellet market.
Združeno kraljestvo trdi tudi, da ni povezave med območji z veliko proizvodnjo peletov in zvišanjem cen vlakninskega lesa na lokalnih trgih (slika 7).
While pellets can be transported oversea, for economic reasons, raw materials used by the wood pellet industry can normally be only transported over limited distances.
Poleg tega je Združeno kraljestvo dokazalo, da velika proizvodnja peletov ni nujno povezana z zvišanjem cene surovin (glej uvodno izjavo 63).
Manufacturing plants of semi-finished pulpwood products source wood supply from within an average distance of approximately 100 km to 150 km (called the catchment radius of the plant).
Kot je bilo navedeno (glej uvodno izjavo 62), na ceno vlakninskega lesa vplivajo elementi, kot so vremenske razmere in razpoložljivost ostankov (ki so povezani s trgom žaganega lesa), nihanja cen pa so bila opažena tudi že v preteklosti.
To assess the impact of those plants on competition, it is therefore necessary to determine from which local market the pellets will or are likely to be sourced.
Poleg tega se cene višajo in nižajo na območjih z veliko in majhno proizvodnjo peletov.
As explained in recital 11 above, the Lynemouth plant is to source [60 %-80 %] of the total wood pellet fuel required from the US South-East.
Zato se za posredno povpraševanje po surovinah zaradi projekta v Lynemouthu ne pričakuje, da bo povzročilo neupravičeno izkrivljanje na trgu.
Approximately [5 %-20 %] to 15 % will be sourced from other Member States.
Zainteresirane strani so predložile tudi teoretično študijo, v kateri so modelirani morebitni učinki prihodnjih scenarijev z velikim prodorom bioenergije.
This implies that approximately […] million dry tonnes per year will be sourced from other Member States from about 16 different suppliers.
V njej ni ocenjen učinek projekta v Lynemouthu na trg, ampak učinek pričakovanega svetovnega povpraševanja po biomasi ob upoštevanju veljavnih in prihodnjih politik.
This would amount to approximately […] of the EU wood pellet consumption (see Figure 6).
Vendar je vprašljivo, koliko se bodo prihodnji načrti glede biomase uresničili, in če se bodo, pod katerimi pogoji in iz katerih regij se bo tedaj biomasa dejansko pridobivala.
Moreover, the Lynemouth project does not intend to source from the United Kingdom.
Študija zato ne vpliva na ugotovitve o morebitnem učinku projekta v Lynemouthu, saj obravnava zlasti morebitne učinke prihodnjega razvoja dogodkov.
Therefore, the measure is not expected to lead to undue distortions of competition within the Union.
Diverzifikacija dobavne verige bo dodatno ublažila morebitno tveganje izkrivljanja na lokalnih trgih.
As most of the wood pellets are sourced from outside the Union and the market for raw materials is local, the effects take place outside the Union.
Po mnenju Komisije se zato za ukrep ne pričakuje, da bo povzročil neupravičeno izkrivljanje na trgu surovin.
Approximately [10 %-30 %] of the wood pellets required will be sourced from Canada.
V zvezi s tem je treba spomniti, da se pomoč dodeli za proizvodnjo električne energije iz trdne biomase in da bi pomoč le posredno vplivala na pridobivanje surovin, ki jih uporablja panoga lesnih peletov.
Potential supplies from Canada are considered to be significantly higher than from Europe.
Preskus tehtanja
The sourcing from Canada would amount to […] of the estimated surplus.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je pomoč neposredno namenjena sorazmernemu in ustreznemu doseganju ciljev v zvezi z energijo iz obnovljivih virov in zmanjšanjem CO2.
Most of the supply for the project will be imported from the US South-East.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 110, Komisija ni ugotovila neupravičenih izkrivljanj na prizadetem proizvodnem trgu (lesni peleti).
Therefore, the investigation of potential market distortions in the raw material market (wood fibre) focusses on that region.
Prav tako ni ugotovila neupravičenih izkrivljanj na predhodnih trgih (surovine).
Lynemouth will import approximately 2 million GT (equivalent to approximately 0,9 million dry tonnes) from the US South-East.
Poleg tega mora Komisija oceniti, ali ukrep izkrivlja ali bi lahko izkrivljal konkurenco, kolikor prizadene trgovino med državami članicami.
This amounts to 1,7 % of the total supply of pulpwood in 2011 in the US South-East and 0,9 % of the total removals in the same year in that region.
Učinki na trgu surovin so lokalni in se bodo pojavili zlasti zunaj Evrope, saj se lesni peleti uvažajo.
Such low percentages alone do not give strong indications of undue distortions in the raw material market.
Vpliv na trgovino med državami članicami bi bil torej v vsakem primeru omejen.
In particular, taking into account the total removals, the impact would not lead to undue distortions in the market.
Komisija zato meni, da so negativni učinki pomoči za projekt v Lynemouthu v smislu izkrivljanja konkurence in vpliva na trgovino med državami članicami omejeni ter manjši od pozitivnih učinkov v smislu prispevka k cilju skupnega interesa (proizvodnja energije iz obnovljivih virov in zmanjšanje CO2 pri proizvodnji električne energije), tako da je splošno ravnovesje pozitivno.
Furthermore, these figures only take into account pulpwood and do not take into account other input materials such as logging and sawmill residues that can also, to some extent, be used to produce wood pellets.
Drugi vidiki – skladnost s členoma 30 in 110 PDEU
However, some third parties submitted that the increase in pellet production caused an increase in raw material (pulpwood) prices in the US South-East.
Združeno kraljestvo se je v okviru sklepa o pogodbi na razliko za obnovljive vire energije (SA.36196) ter sklepa v zvezi s pomočjo na podlagi končne naložbene odločitve o spodbujanju obnovljivih virov energije za pet projektov pridobivanja vetrne energije na morju (SA.38758, SA.38759, SA.38761, SA.38763 in SA.38812) in projekt kogeneracijske elektrarne na biomaso (SA.38796) zavezalo, da bo prilagodilo način izračuna obveznosti dobaviteljev električne energije za plačila iz pogodb na razliko, tako da se upravičena električna energija iz obnovljivih virov energije, ki jo države članice EU proizvedejo zunaj Združenega kraljestva in dobavijo odjemalcem v Združenem kraljestvu, ne šteje med tržne deleže dobaviteljev.
In particular, Steptoe and Johnson and AFPA submitted data showing a price increase in the 2011-2014 period.
Združeno kraljestvo bo zagotovilo, da se pred uvedbo te izjeme ne izplačajo nobena plačila iz pogodb na razliko, če to ni mogoče, pa bo Združeno kraljestvo vzpostavilo mehanizem za povračilo dobaviteljem za vso uvoženo upravičeno električno energijo iz obnovljivih virov energije, ki je bila dobavljena pred začetkom veljavnosti zadevne izjeme, vendar po začetku plačil iz pogodbe na razliko.
The same data, but over a longer period, were submitted by the US Industrial Pellet Association (Figure 3).
Zaveza iz uvodne izjave 114 bo veljala tudi za priglašeni ukrep.
The Commission notes that, as shown in Figure 2, the average raw material (stumpage) price in the US South-East is not outside the historical range.
Komisija ob upoštevanju zaveze iz uvodne izjave 114 meni, da se z mehanizmom financiranja priglašenih ukrepov pomoči ne bi smele uvesti omejitve, ki so v nasprotju s členom 30 ali 110 PDEU.
Therefore, the increase in prices since 2011 does not appear unusual.
SKLEPNA UGOTOVITEV
In 2010 prices were even higher, allegedly because of weather events.
Komisija ob upoštevanju navedenega meni, da priglašeni ukrep pomoči prispeva k cilju skupnega interesa na potreben in sorazmeren način v skladu s smernicami iz leta 2014–2020, zato je pomoč združljiva z notranjim trgom na podlagi člena 107(3)(c) PDEU –
In addition, the United Kingdom submitted that the US market was still affected by the reduction in demand following the financial crisis.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
In particular sawtimber production was reduced by approximately 57 million GT compared to 2005.
Člen 1
If this quantity would be available, this would generate approximately 28-19 million GT of residues which could serve as a source for wood pellets or competing products.
Ukrep pomoči, ki ga je priglasilo Združeno kraljestvo, je združljiv z notranjim trgom v skladu s členom 107(3)(c) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
Moreover, the United Kingdom claims that there is no correlation between areas with strong pellet production and increase in pulpwood prices in local markets (Figure 7).
Člen 2
Indeed, the data in Figure 1 show that larger volumes of sawtimber, and therefore residues, were available before 2008.
Ta sklep je naslovljen na Združeno kraljestvo Velika Britanija in Severna Irska.
A more limited availability of residues could therefore have negatively impacted the price of pulpwood.
V Bruslju, 1. decembra 2015
Furthermore, the United Kingdom has shown that a strong pellet production does not necessarily correlate with raw material price increases (see recital 63 above).
Za Komisijo
As set out above (see recital 62 above), the pulpwood price is affected by elements such as weather conditions, the availability of residues (linked to the sawtimber market) and price fluctuations were also observed in the past.
Članica Komisije
Moreover, price increases and price decreases do take place both in areas with strong and weak pellet production.
UL C 116, 10.4.2015, str. 52.
Therefore, the indirect demand for raw materials resulting from the Lynemouth project is not expected to lead to undue distortions in the market.
Komisija je sprejela sklep o šestih od teh osmih projektov.
Interested parties also submitted a theoretical study modelling the possible effects of future scenarios with high penetration of bioenergy.
Dne 23. julija 2014 je bil sprejet sklep o nenasprotovanju za pet projektov pridobivanja vetrne energije na morju (zadeve SA.38758, SA.38759, SA.38761, SA.38763 in SA.38812) (UL C 393, 7.11.2014, str.
The study does not assess the impact of the Lynemouth project on the market, but assesses the effect of expected global biomass demand taking into account existing and future policies.

It is however uncertain to what extent future biomass plans will be realised and if so under what conditions and from which regions biomass would then be actually sourced.
38796) (sklep še ni objavljen).
The study therefore does not change the conclusions on the potential impact of the Lynemouth project, as it addresses in particular the potential effects of future developments.
Faktor obremenitve je bil v prvotni priglasitvi ocenjen na 75,3 %, Združeno kraljestvo pa ga je nato posodobilo.
Finally, according to data submitted by the United Kingdom, Lynemouth intends to source biomass from approximately […] production mills across […] States in the US South-East.
Za več podrobnosti o mehanizmu plačil iz pogodbe na razliko glej uvodne izjave 17 do 31 sklepa Komisije o zadevi SA.36196, Electricity Market Reform – Contract for Difference for Renewables (Reforma trga električne energije – Pogodba na razliko za obnovljive vire energije) (C(2014) 5079 final).
The diversification of the supply chain will further mitigate any risk of distortions in local markets.
Ta shema je bila prvotno odobrena s sklepom Komisije z dne 28. februarja 2001 v zadevi N504/2000, nato pa večkrat spremenjena.
The Commission therefore concludes that the measure is not expected to lead to undue distortions in the raw material market.
Komisija je shemo v sedanji obliki odobrila v sklepu z dne 2. aprila 2013 v zadevi SA.35565 (UL C 167, 13.6.2013, str. 5).
In this respect, it is recalled that the aid is granted for the production of electricity from solid biomass and any effects of the aid would be indirect to the sourcing of raw material used by the wood pellet industry.
Za Severno Irsko (zadeva SA.36084) in Škotsko (zadeva SA.37453) so se pozneje odobrili nekateri specifični elementi.
Balancing test
Minimalna stopnja donosa je opredeljena kot minimalna stopnja donosa, ki je potrebna za realizacijo takega projekta.
As set out in paragraph 97 EEAG, for State aid measures that are well-targeted to the market failure they aim to address, the risk that the aid will unduly distort competition is more limited.
Organi Združenega kraljestva so vse te elemente objavili v dokumentu „Electricity Generation Costs“ (Stroški proizvodnje električne energije), ki je na voljo na spletnem mestu: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/electricity-generation-costs.
The Commission notes that the aid is directly aimed at achieving the renewable energy targets and CO2 reduction in a proportionate and appropriate way.
Electricity Generation Costs December 2013 (Stroški proizvodnje električne energije za december 2013), DECC (2013), dostopno na spletnem mestu: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/electricity-generation-costs.
Therefore the risk of undue distortions of competition is also more limited.
Dostopno na spletnem mestu: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/electricity-market-reform-delivery-plan.
As set out in recital 110 above, the Commission did not find undue distortions in the affected product market (wood pellets).
Za nadaljnje informacije glej: www.gov.uk/government/consultations/ensuring-biomass-affordability-and-value-for-money-under-the-renewables-obligation.
Also, no undue distortions were found in upstream markets (raw material).
Dostopno na spletnem mestu: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/final-investment-decision-fid-enabling-for-renewables-investment-contracts.
In addition, the Commission needs to assess whether the measures distorts or threatens to distort competition in so far as it affects trade between Member States.
North East Local Enterprise Partnership, North East Chamber of Commerce in UK Trade & Investment.
The effects in the raw material market are local and mostly take place outside Europe as the wood pellets are imported.
Friends of the Earth, Natural Resources Defense Council, Fern in Biofuel watch.
The effects on trade between Member States would therefore in any case be limited.
ECOFYS (2014), Carbon Leakage assessment for the European Panel Federation – Wood panel industry and the carbon leakage list 2015–2019 criteria (Ocena seznama sektorjev, izpostavljenih selitvi virov CO2, za Evropsko združenje proizvajalcev vezanih plošč – Industrija vezanih plošč in merila za seznam sektorjev, izpostavljenih selitvi virov CO2 za obdobje 2015–2019).
Therefore, the Commission considers that the negative effects of the aid to the Lynemouth project in terms of distortions of competition and impact on trade between Member States are limited and out-weighted by the positive effects in terms of contribution to the objective of common interest (production of energy from renewable sources and reduction of CO2 in the electricity generation) so that the overall balance is positive.
Zaradi doslednosti so vsi podatki v zvezi s trgom vlakninskega lesa in trgom na jugovzhodu ZDA navedeni v tonah svežega lesa.

In the context of the decision on CfD for renewables (SA.36196) and the decision regarding FIDeR aid to five offshore wind projects (SA.38758, SA.38759, SA.38761, SA.38763 and SA.38812) and to a CHP biomass plant (SA.38796), the United Kingdom has committed that it will adjust the way in which electricity suppliers' liabilities for CfD payments are calculated so that eligible renewable electricity generated in EU Member States outside the United Kingdom and supplied to customers in the United Kingdom is not counted towards suppliers' market shares.
Dostopno na spletnem mestu: http://www.srs.fs.usda.gov/pubs/47281.
The United Kingdom will ensure that no CfD payments are made before this exemption is in place, or if this is not possible the United Kingdom will put in place a mechanism to reimburse suppliers for any imported eligible renewable electricity supplied before the exemption comes into effect but after CfD payments have started to be made.
