these contracts, which are negotiated privately during discussions relating to the purchase of the reactor, can be concluded on more favourable terms and conditions than those negotiated under an open procedure, which would be subject to competition from many other companies operating in mining, conversion and enrichment; the often longer duration of these contracts helps secure selling prices in the long term on a market where prices are dynamic;
Komisija v zvezi s tem navaja, da se ne zdi, da je družba EDF v preteklosti spodbujala skupino Areva, saj družba Urenco zdaj izpolnjuje velik del potreb po obogatenem uranu družbe EDF.
finally, this type of contract allows a supplier of uranium and conversion and enrichment services to establish itself and gradually forge a reputation and credibility on new markets which are difficult to access, as was the case […].
Drugič, povezano s tem je zaradi odsotnosti kapitalske povezave izključena kakršna koli možnost, da družba Nouvel Areva spodbuja družbo Nouvel Areva NP z ugodnejšimi pogoji, kot jih zagotavlja drugim strankam, saj kot delničarka ne bi mogla več delno pridobiti prednosti, ki jih je odobrila kot dobaviteljica.
These sales have so far been high for the mining, conversion and enrichment businesses, which will be acquired by New Areva.
Glede povečanja presežne zmogljivosti na evropskem trgu obogatitve Komisija ugotavlja, da so se francoski organi zavezali, da v obdobju prestrukturiranja skupina Areva ne bo povečala zmogljivosti obrata Georges Besse II, razen pridobitve in namestitve centrifug, ki so bile predvidene v obstoječih sporazumih […].
For an EPR initial core, requirements stand at around [0-2000] kSWU for enrichment (representing [0-20] % of New Areva's annual capacities), [0-2000] tUF6 for conversion (representing [0-20] % of New Areva's annual capacities) and [0-2000] tU3O8 for natural uranium (representing [0-20] % of New Areva's annual production in 2015).
Komisija ugotavlja, da pomoč za prestrukturiranje, dodeljena skupini Areva, ne bo namenjena za financiranje povečanja presežka zmogljivosti na evropskem trgu obogatitve.
One reload represents one third of these volumes, and in most cases fuel assemblies are reloaded every 18 months.
V zvezi s trgovanjem pomoč ne povečuje proizvodne zmogljivosti, temveč se uporabi za optimizacijo že obstoječe zmogljivosti na trgu.
According to the Areva Group, it is common for the designer and manufacturer of a nuclear reactor to negotiate the supply of at least […] in addition to the initial core.
Poleg tega skupina Areva ni razvila te dejavnosti v preteklem desetletju […].
For each fuel contract negotiated as part of […] projects, the Areva Group has benefited from contracts for higher volumes and longer periods than it would have been able to conclude if Areva NP had not designed and built the nuclear reactor.
V zvezi z gorivom MOX je Komisija v uvodnih izjavah 356 do 360 navedla, da bi imela odprodaja družbe Nouvel Areva NP negativne učinke na dolgoročni razvoj tega področja, pri čemer bi se ustrezno povečala velikost trga, dostopna proizvajalcem klasičnega goriva, kot je družba Urenco.
The comparison between the […] projects (for which Areva NP built the plant) and the reactor built by […] is enlightening in this regard.
Zato pridobitev dodatnega ukrepa na tem delu trga ni upravičena.
The Areva Group was only able to contract for […] % of the fuel needs of the reactor built by […], for a period of only […] years, even though it has fuel supply contracts for […].
Na splošno Komisija poudarja, da se bodo z izgubo sinergije zaradi odprodaje družbe Nouvel Areva NP odprle priložnosti za konkurente družbe Nouvel Areva na področju obogatitve, zlasti v dejanskih situacijah iz uvodnih izjav 353 in 360.
In this context, the divestment of New Areva NP's businesses is likely to have a significant impact on those of New Areva.
Glede na navedeno Komisija ocenjuje, da izravnalni ukrepi, ki dopolnjujejo odprodajo družbe Nouvel Areva NP in zaveze, ki jih je sprejela Francija, na področju obogatitve niso upravičeni.
Urenco does not consider these synergies to have significant value […].
Pri dejavnostih konca gorivnega cikla (obdelava odpadkov in proizvodnja goriva MOX) ima skupina Areva tržni delež približno [50–100] % [60] na trgu obdelave in je zdaj edini akter, ki obvlada vse postopke obdelave in recikliranja izrabljenega goriva ter proizvodnje goriva MOX.
The Commission acknowledges that most reactors currently under construction are located in countries such as Russia and China where the market is largely closed to Western nuclear power plant suppliers.
Pomoč za prestrukturiranje ne ustvarja velikega izkrivljanja konkurence, saj je skupina Areva globalno edini akter na tem področju.
The Commission also acknowledges that, since Fukushima, new reactor construction projects have become rarer.
Komisija priznava, da je gorivo MOX konkurenčno klasičnemu gorivu, pri čemer ima družba Nouvel Areva konkurente pri oskrbi s klasičnim gorivom.
However, there are still a number of projects that have a good chance of seeing the light of day and for which New Areva NP appears to be well positioned.
Vendar se zaradi razlogov iz uvodnih izjav 356 do 360 načrtovanje dodatnih ukrepov na tem trgu ne zdi upravičeno.
This is the case for projects that follow on from those won by Areva NP in the past: […].
Za skupino Areva sta trga za logistiko in razgradnjo razmeroma drugotnega pomena, saj skupina po prestrukturiranju na teh trgih ne bo imela zelo pomembnega položaja.
New Areva NP could also bid for the projects of […].
Na trgu logistike je imela skupina Areva na primer v letu 2013 približno [0–50]-odstotne tržne deleže za proizvodnjo potrebne embalaže za suho skladiščenje in transport izrabljenega goriva (casks), nemška družba GNS pa ima na tem trgu [50-100]-odstotni delež.
For all of these projects, if New Areva NP wishes to include the supply of enriched material in its reactor offering, it will now be able to call upon any enriched material supplier it chooses, with a real incentive to place potential suppliers in competition with one another, amid intense price pressure in this type of call for tenders.
Na trgu razgradnje bo imela družba Nouvel Areva [0–20]-odstotni tržni delež in bo konkurent številnim drugim akterjem (Onet, Vinci, Bouygues, Westinghouse, Amec, Nukem, Iberdrola itd.).
Of course, this prospect relates more to the medium and long term.
Komisija pri preiskavi na trgih brez presežne zmogljivosti ni zaznala zelo opaznega izkrivljanja konkurence.
However, industrial cycles in the nuclear markets are extremely long and the Commission therefore believes there are grounds for taking into account lost synergies, the main effects of which will be felt in the medium and long term.
Posebni dodatni ukrepi za te trge se zato ne zdijo upravičeni.
The French authorities have also convincingly demonstrated that strong synergies existed between the reactors business and the back-end fuel cycle — synergies which New Areva and New Areva NP will have little incentive to recreate in the future.
Glede na navedeno Komisija ugotavlja, da potem, ko bo skupina Areva prodala družbo Nouvel Areva NP in bo Francija sprejela zaveze, na trgih, na katerih bo imela skupina Areva po prestrukturiranju pomemben položaj, ne bo izkrivljanja konkurence, ki bi upravičilo dodatni ukrep.
In the medium and long term, New Areva NP's capacity to increase its sales from processing and recycling services for export depends on the existence on the market of a fleet of light-water reactors able to run with MOX fuel assemblies, known as ‘MOX reactors’.
Za zaključek analize ukrepov za omejitev izkrivljanja konkurence zaradi pomoči je Komisija seznanjena z zavezami francoskih organov, da se bo zagotovila skladnost z alineama (a) in (b) točke 84 smernic.
Indeed, MOX fuel is not as such interchangeable with conventional fuel: reactors for which MOX is to be used must have been designed or adapted to accommodate this type of fuel.
V zvezi s tem točka 84(a) smernic določa, da se morajo upravičenci do pomoči za prestrukturiranje v obdobju prestrukturiranja odpovedati nakupu delnic v drugih podjetjih, razen kadar je to nujno potrebno za zagotovitev dolgoročne sposobnosti preživetja upravičenca.
This means that the Areva Group's MOX business depends directly on the fleet of ‘moxed’ reactors worldwide.
Ta določba se nanaša na nakupe delnic, ki bi omogočili povečanje prisotnosti upravičenca na svojih ali drugih trgih prek zunanje rasti, in ne racionalizacije in uporabe obstoječih proizvodnih sredstev prek notranje rasti.
However, New Areva NP […].
Komisija meni, da v obravnavanem primeru kot nakup delnic ne velja ustvarjanje skupnih proizvodnih podjetij, katerih edini namen je racionalizacija proizvodnje z obstoječimi sredstvi, in ne nakup in skupna raba novih sredstev, pod pogojem, da posamezni delničar skupnega podjetja nima pravic črpanja, večjih od njegovega lastnega prispevka.
[…] New Areva NP is responsible for selling them.
Podobno za namene uporabe točke 84(a) smernic v obravnavanem primeru kot nakup delnic ne velja nakup podjetij za razgradnjo sredstev, ki so morda v njihovem obsegu.
[…] the French authorities explained that the situation was different as long as the Areva Group was integrated, since this meant it had the capacity to make a profit from MOX production, the design and construction of reactors and the selling of fuel assemblies.
Na trgu razgradnje […] lastnik podjetja s sredstvi za razgradnjo, npr. staro jedrsko elektrarno, prosi ponudnike storitev, ki želijo izvesti razgradnjo, naj ustvarijo konzorcij, katerega namen je kupiti podjetje in rezervacije za razgradnjo, ki so v njegovi lasti, ter razgraditi sredstva z uporabo rezervacij.
In fact, although Areva NP was indeed responsible for selling fuel (as New Areva NP will be in the future), it was under the supervision of Areva SA […].
Ta situacija za podjetja, vključena v konzorcij, ki je kupec, in predvsem za skupino Areva predstavlja poseben način za nadaljevanje zagotavljanja storitev, ki jih že zagotavlja, in ne predstavlja nakupa delnic, s katerimi bi skupina Areva povečala svojo prisotnosti prek zunanje rasti.
[…], the long-term growth prospects of the MOX segment ([…]) must be downgraded.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega so se francoski organi zavezali, da v celotnem obdobju prestrukturiranja skupina Areva (Areva SA in Nouvel Areva) in podjetja pod njenim nadzorom ne bodo neposredno ali posredno kupovali delnic nobenega podjetja, ki ni že zdaj pod njihovim nadzorom, pri čemer se izvzamejo naslednji projekti:
However, replacing a non-MOX reactor in a call for tenders with a MOX reactor project reduces New Areva NP's captive demand and consequently increases demand for conventional fuel, for which New Areva NP is in competition with other operators, such as Urenco.
Komisija meni, da so ti projekti nujni za obnovo sposobnosti preživetja skupine Areva zaradi naslednjih razlogov.
In a more general sense, New Areva and New Areva NP will enter into a customer/supplier relationship for an entire range of services that were previously supplied in-house, which will have potentially negative consequences for both New Areva NP and New Areva.
Del teh projektov […] vključuje rudarske dejavnosti skupine Areva.
This reasoning applies particularly to logistics operations, which will be more difficult to optimise.
V zvezi s tem bo skupina Areva morala zapreti nekatere velike rudnike, zlasti […].
The French authorities have provided the following example.
Vendar rudarska dejavnost kot […] prispeva k obnovi sposobnosti dolgoročnega preživetja družbe Nouvel Areva, kot je navedeno že v uvodni izjavi 371.
The natural uranium remains the property of the electricity generator that acquired it, which then entrusts its chosen suppliers with carrying out conversion and enrichment, followed by the manufacturers of fuel assemblies.
Ob upoštevanju zelo dolgih gospodarskih ciklov na tem področju je nujno, da je vsako podjetje, ki želi ostati dejavno na dolgi rok, stalno vključeno v rudarske projekte na različnih stopnjah razvoja.
Either the enrichment company or the designated manufacturer is tasked with delivering the enriched uranium.
Glavni namen rudarskih projektov skupine Areva iz točk (a) do (d) uvodne izjave 390 je nadomestiti zmogljivosti, ki bodo izgubljene […].
Belonging to the same group facilitates discussion and enhances the potential ways of optimising operations, given the lack of opposing interests between the enrichment company and the fuel-assembly manufacturer.
Zadevni projekti so v obliki skupnih podjetij s podjetjem […].
The Areva Group has always benefited from this advantage in relation to its intra-group deliveries.
Na podlagi analize projektov […] iz točk (a), (d), (e), (g), (h), (j) in (q) uvodne izjave 390 Komisija ocenjuje, da so projekti ključni za strategijo razvoja skupine Areva […], pri čemer je ta strategija nujna za dolgoročno sposobnost preživetja podjetja.
In contrast, Areva NC, for example, has been overcharged […], which it has never been able to effectively challenge since it refuses to discuss the costs incurred.
Podobno načelo velja za razvojne projekte skupine Areva […].[…].
In the light of the above, the Commission concludes that if the restructured Areva Group had remained integrated with the reactors business, it would have benefited substantially from that integration and in particular from its ability to formulate integrated solutions including the activities of both New Areva NP and New Areva.
Ti projekti […] so navedeni v točkah (o) in (p) uvodne izjave 390.
In recital 189 of the opening decision, the Commission expressed concern about the consequences of the planned strategic partnership between EDF and the Areva Group, especially in terms of the contractual re-creation of the commercial synergies observed in the past.
Druga skupina projektov […] se nanaša na […], ki so dinamični trgi, na katerih mora ostati skupina Areva prisotna, da zagotovi uspeh svojega načrta prestrukturiranja.
Urenco has shared its concerns with the Commission on this subject.
Ti projekti so navedeni v točkah (i) do (n) uvodne izjave 390.
The Commission concedes that a contractual partnership based on the concept of ‘best effort’ has little chance of recreating synergies as strong as those that previously existed within a consolidated group.
Nazadnje projekt iz točke (f) uvodne izjave 390 glede […].
However, a partnership that included a kind of favoured commercial cooperation, restricting the ability of New Areva NP's competitors to team up with New Areva NP to develop integrated solutions, would undermine the positive effects for competition of the divestment of New Areva NP.
Komisija lahko odobri vse druge deleže, ki so nujni za zagotavljanje dolgoročne sposobnosti preživetja skupine Areva in ne pomenijo izogibanja obveznosti omejevanja prisotnosti skupine Areva na obstoječih trgih.
In this context, the Commission notes the commitment by the French authorities to ensure that, during the restructuring period, EDF-controlled New Areva NP and New Areva do not enter into any strategic partnership or other framework agreement for commercial cooperation aimed at favouring New Areva in situations where New Areva NP wishes to provide a customer with an integrated offering alongside a supplier of nuclear material.
Komisiji je treba v razumnem roku v skladu z načrtom prestrukturiranja sporočiti namen za izvedbo takega nakupa in dejstva, ki Komisiji omogočajo, da preveri, ali so izpolnjeni pogoji, ter po potrebi potrdi nakup ali mu ne nasprotuje.
In the light of this commitment, the Commission believes that New Areva NP will be free to offer its customers the possibility of procuring nuclear material from operators other than New Areva.
Drugič, v skladu s točko 84(b) smernic so se francoski organi zavezali, da skupina Areva (Areva SA in Nouvel Areva) podpore, do katere je upravičena, pri trženju svojih produktov in storitev ne bo predstavljala kot konkurenčne prednosti.
When New Areva needs to renew its order book, it will not be able to count on the structural synergies which the Areva Group benefited from in the past.
Preglednost pomoči
The Commission's doubts on this point can therefore be dispelled.
V skladu s točko 38(g) smernic morajo imeti države članice, Komisija, gospodarski subjekti in javnost preprost dostop do vseh ustreznih aktov in uporabnih informacij o dodeljeni pomoči.
Before going into detail with respect to each market, the Commission would first of all point out that it has made sure that the aid to the Areva Group is not so large that it would place the restructured group (i.e. New Areva) in an unusually good financial position in relation to its competitors.
Komisija ugotavlja, da so francoski organi zagotovili upoštevanje meril preglednosti iz točke 96 smernic.
The aid has been calculated to allow the company to restore its long-term viability, which means helping it regain an ‘investment-grade’ rating.
Francoski organi se zavezujejo, da bodo informacije iz sporočila [61] o preglednosti objavili za širšo javnost.
However, New Areva will still have sizeable debts […].
Te informacije bodo na voljo na spletnem mestu https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr ali http://www.economie.gouv.fr/agence-participations-etat.
It is expected that, after restructuring, New Areva will benefit from a […] financial rating, which is no better than the rating of competitors like Urenco [56].
ZAVEZE, KI JIH JE SPREJELA FRANCIJA
Consequently, New Areva will not enjoy markedly greater financial agility than its competitors after restructuring.
Komisija opozarja na zaveze, ki jih je sprejela Francija v okviru tega postopka.
There are four major global players in the mining market.
Francoski organi so sprejeli naslednje zaveze:
The main operator is KAP, which holds [0-50 %] of the market, followed by Cameco, with [0-50 %] of global production.
popolno dezinvestiranje skupine Areva na področju dejavnosti, povezane z reaktorji, kar pomeni, da družbi Areva SA in Nouvel Areva ne bosta imeli nobene kapitalske povezave več z družbo Nouvel Areva NP po končani izvedbi priglašenega načrta prestrukturiranja;
The Areva Group and Rosatom, via its subsidiary AtomEnergoProm, hold [0-30] % and [0-30] % of global production respectively [57].
v obdobju prestrukturiranja skupina Areva ne sme povečati zmogljivosti obrata Georges Besse II razen pridobitve in namestitve centrifug, ki so bile predvidene v obstoječih sporazumih […];
KAP and Cameco have regularly increased their production in recent years and are expected to maintain or continue to increase it further in the near future.
družba Areva SA lahko izvaja le dejavnosti, posebej navedene v načrtu prestrukturiranja, ki je bil priglašen Komisiji;
On the mining market, if New Areva were to obtain additional concessions (for example in the form of divestments), this would risk giving an advantage to operators who already hold significant positions in this concentrated market, with a risk for both the market structure and for the EU's security of uranium supply.
v obdobju prestrukturiranja družba Nouvel Areva NP pod nadzorom družbe EDF in družba Nouvel Areva ne skleneta nobenega strateškega partnerstva ali okvirnega sporazuma o poslovnem sodelovanju, pri katerem bi imela prednost družba Nouvel Areva v primerih, ko bi družba Nouvel Areva NP želela stranki predlagati integrirano ponudbo z dobaviteljem jedrskega materiala na trgih, ki so opredeljeni v uvodnih izjavah 344 in 347, tj. v primerih dobave gorivnih elementov in gradnje novih reaktorjev.
Moreover, the mining business is a […] contributor to restoring the viability of the Areva Group, since it accounts for […] of New Areva's EBITDA up to 2020.
Kljub tej zavezi lahko družbi Nouvel Areva in Nouvel Areva NP oblikujeta skupne ponudbe, če je bila družba Nouvel Areva izbrana na podlagi poslovnih in tehničnih meril;
Weakening this activity would endanger the Group's ability to restore viability, with no obvious benefit to competition.
v obdobju prestrukturiranja skupina Areva (Areva SA in Nouvel Areva) in podjetja pod njenim nadzorom ne bodo neposredno ali posredno kupovali delnic nobenega podjetja, ki ni že zdaj pod njihovim nadzorom, pri čemer se izvzamejo projekti iz uvodne izjave 390.
In the light of these factors, the Commission does not believe compensatory measures, in addition to the divestment of New Areva NP and the commitments given by France, to be justified in the mining segment.
Ta zaveza ne velja za nakupe delnic, ki jih družba Nouvel Areva in podjetja pod njenim neposrednim ali posrednim nadzorom opravijo za finančno poslovodenje (i) skladov za razgradnjo, ki jih mora v skladu z zakonskimi in regulativnimi obveznostmi upravljati skupina Areva, (ii) pokojninskih skladov za osebje skupine Areva, (iii) naložb likvidnih sredstev;
The conversion sector has four main operators by market share: Rosatom/TVEL ([0-50] %), Cameco ([0-50] %), Conver Dyn ([0-50] %) and the Areva Group ([0-50] %) [58].
skupina Areva (Areva SA in Nouvel Areva) podpore, do katere je upravičena, pri trženju svojih izdelkov in storitev ne bo predstavljala kot konkurenčne prednosti.
The Chinese company CNNC is also present, but currently only supplies to the Chinese market.
ZAKLJUČKI
The Areva Group is now Europe's sole conversion company following the closure of the SFL plant in the United Kingdom.
Povečanje kapitala družb Areva SA in Nouvel Areva s strani francoske države se obravnava kot državna pomoč v znesku 4,5 milijarde EUR.
The conversion activity is part of the […] business.
Ta pomoč bo v skladu z merili iz smernic in zato združljiva z notranjim trgom, ko bo mogoče dokazati obstoj resničnega in dejanskega lastnega prispevka, ki znaša vsaj polovico stroškov prestrukturiranja, tj. ob izpolnitvi odložilnih pogojev iz uvodne izjave 318 in člena 2 tega sklepa.
Any additional measure that weakens New Areva NP in this business could strengthen the market's existing oligopolistic structure and threaten the viability of this essential link in the fuel cycle, in which New Areva will be the only European operator.
To pomeni, da se pomoč ne sme izvajati pred izpolnitvijo teh dveh pogojev –
Consequently, the Commission does not believe compensatory measures, in addition to the divestment of New Areva NP and the commitments given by France, to be justified in the conversion segment.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
On the enrichment market, in 2014 the Areva Group held a global market share of approximately [0-30 %], while its two main competitors, Rosatom/Tenex and Urenco, each held more than [0-50] % [59].
Člen 1
Urenco has informed the Commission of its concerns regarding the distortions of competition on the enrichment market created by the restructuring aid.
Državna pomoč, ki jo namerava Francija izvajati v korist skupine Areva v znesku 4,5 milijarde EUR, je združljiva z notranjim trgom v skladu s členom 107(3) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije in pogoji iz člena 2 tega sklepa.
In summary, these concerns relate to (i) New Areva's alleged financial agility compared to its unaided competitors; (ii) the risk that EDF, which is one of Urenco's key customers, will favour New Areva for its enriched uranium requirements; (iii) the increased excess capacity on the European enrichment market, especially if New Areva were to decide to increase the capacity of its Georges Besse II plant or to expand in SWU trading; (iv) the continuation or even strengthening of the MOX fuel business, which competes with Urenco's conventional fuel even though Urenco believes it to be less competitive.
Člen 2
The Commission has already demonstrated, in recital 368, that New Areva will not be in a better financial position than Urenco after the restructuring.
Izvajanje državne pomoči iz člena 1 tega sklepa je odvisno od pridobitve naslednjega:
This concern is therefore unfounded.
sklepa urada ASN o rezultatih programa za utemeljitev glede problematike segregacije ogljika v delih posode reaktorja EPR za projekt Flamanville 3, pri čemer ta segregacija ne postavlja pod vprašaj ustreznosti delov posod za delovanje, ali namesto tega sklepa družbe EDF, priglašenega skupini Areva zaradi odprodaje družbe Nouvel Areva NP, o umiku klavzule o odložitvi v zvezi z reaktorjem EPR za projekt Flamanville 3 glede segregacije ogljika v delih posode tega reaktorja;
