natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
The investment is to create 500 new direct jobs, and to ensure, in the long term, the maintenance of 3339 existing jobs.
USTREZNOST POMOČI
The notified project will substantially increase the qualification and skills of the beneficiary's employees, increasing their employability within and outside VW Group and Portugal, and increasing the regional skills basis.
Portugalska opozarja, da je Komisija že v sklepu glede družbe Porsche Leipzig [17] sprejela, da je državna pomoč ustrezno sredstvo za spodbujanje regionalnega razvoja regij, ki so v primerjavi s povprečjem drugih regij v državi članici prikrajšane.
Specific training actions are planned.
Ta utemeljitev enako velja za priglašeno naložbo v regiji Península de Setúbal.
This vocational training has also a positive effect on the know-how transfer mainly within the Setubal Peninsula region.
Regija Península de Setúbal je del regije Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, ki vključuje območje Lizbone in je najrazvitejša portugalska regija.
The investment project will create more business opportunities for the suppliers of Autoeuropa.
Če pa bi se regija Península de Setúbal obravnavala samostojno, bi se lahko razvrstila kot regija „a“, saj je bil njen BDP na prebivalca v obdobju 2006–2010 (kar je obdobje, uporabljeno za določitev kart regionalnih državnih pomoči za obdobje 2014–2020) 45–47 % povprečja EU.
According to a study of the Center of Automotive Research, the total number of jobs created as a consequence of one job created in the automotive industry amounts to 2,5 new jobs at the suppliers and 2,2 new jobs at other companies, created as a result of the spending of the suppliers' employees in Portugal.
V primerjavi s portugalskim povprečjem je bil v regiji Península de Setúbal v zadnjih treh letih BDP na prebivalca približno 75 %.
Portugal therefore expects that the investment will lead to the creation of 2350 indirect jobs, in addition to the 500 newly created direct jobs.

Moreover, the Portuguese authorities emphasise the qualitative aspects of the positive regional effects of the investment project.
BDP na prebivalca [18] v primerjavi s portugalskim povprečjem (v EUR)
The investment project will contribute to the development of the region of the Setubal Peninsula by attracting investments by industrial suppliers to the region, involving transfer of technology (knowledge spillovers) and clustering of undertakings in the same industry which allows individual plants to specialise more and leads to increased efficiency.

In addition, the beneficiary was invited to participate in several projects together with leading universities, both for the development of manufacturing engineering and for ergonomics related aspects.

APPROPRIATENESS OF THE AID
Portugalsko povprečje
Portugal notes that the Commission accepted already in the Porsche Leipzig decision [17] that State aid is an appropriate means to promote the regional development of regions which are disadvantaged in comparison with the average of other regions in the Member State.
Zato Portugalska meni, da je priglašena pomoč ustrezen instrument za krepitev regionalnega razvoja regije Península de Setúbal.
This argumentation equally applies to the notified investment aid in the Peninsula de Setubal region.
SPODBUJEVALNI UČINEK/HIPOTETIČNI SCENARIJ
The Peninsula de Setubal region is part of the Lisboa e Vale do Tejo region, which includes the Lisbon area and is the most developed Portuguese region.
Portugalska navaja informacije, ki dokazujejo, da spada pomoč v okvir scenarija 2 sporočila o merilih za podrobno proučitev, ker je upravičenko spodbudila, da izvede naložbo v obrat v Setúbalu namesto v obrat na [lokaciji 1] (območje v EGP, ki ne prejema pomoči), kjer bi bila naložba izvedena brez pomoči.
However, if the Peninsula de Setubal would be considered alone, it could be classified as an ‘a’ region since its GDP per capita ranges between 45 % and 47 % of the EU average in the period 2006-2010 (which was the period used for defining the national regional State aid maps for 2014-2020).
Portugalska navaja zlasti podrobnosti o večstopenjskem procesu odločanja in finančnih vidikih hipotetičnega scenarija, oba sta opisana v nadaljevaju.
When compared with the Portuguese average, the GDP per capita in the Peninsula de Setubal was around 75 % for the last 3 years.
Proces odločanja skupine VW
Table 3
V skupini VW se odločitve o naložbah pripravijo po večstopenjskem procesu odločanja, v katerem nosilci odločanja v procesu konkurenčne primerjave analizirajo različne obrate.
GDP per capita as compared to the Portuguese average (EUR) [18]
Glavne faze so: (1) dolgoročno načrtovanje prodaje in načrtovalni cikli, (2) razvoj proizvoda, odločitev o proizvodu in predhodna izbira obrata ter (3) odločitev o naložbi in lokaciji.
Years
Odločitve v zvezi s priglašenim naložbenim projektom so bile sprejete na podlagi tega splošnega procesa.
Peninsula de Setubal
Ker so se ustrezne odločitve nanašale na naložbeni projekt blagovne znamke Volkswagen, so jih sprejeli neposredno organi blagovne znamke Volkswagen, pri čemer ni bilo dodatnih odločitev na ravni skupine, saj je sestava organov skupine skoraj enaka sestavi pri blagovni znamki Volkswagen.
Portugal average
V skupini VW se novi proizvodi uvajajo na podlagi tako imenovanega procesa ustvarjanja proizvoda, ki obsega postopke od načrtovanja proizvoda do začetka proizvodnje.
Therefore Portugal considers that the notified aid is an appropriate instrument for enhancing the regional development of the Peninsula de Setubal.
Ta proces ustvarjanja proizvoda zajema štiri večje faze, kot je prikazano na spodnjem diagramu:
INCENTIVE EFFECT/COUNTER-FACTUAL SCENARIO
Odločitev o proizvodu/ Predhodna izbira lokacije
Portugal provides information to prove that the aid falls under scenario 2 of the IDAC, as it gave an incentive to the beneficiary to carry out the investment in the Setubal plant instead of in the [location 1] plant (non-assisted area in EEA) where the investment would have been located in the absence of aid.
Začetek proizvodnje
In particular, Portugal provides details on the multistage decision-making process and on the financials of the counterfactual scenario, both of which are described below.
Dolgoročno načrtovanje prodaje Načrtovalni cikli
VW Group's decision-making process
Naložba v izvedbo projekta
At VW Group, investment decisions are prepared in a multistep decision-making process in which decision-makers analyse various sites in a competitive comparison process.
Dolgoročno načrtovanje prodaje in načrtovalni cikel 61
The major phases are: (1) Long-term Sales Planning (LAP) and planning rounds; (2) Product development, product decision and site pre-selection; and (3) Investment and location decision.
Izhodišče je faza dolgoročnega načrtovanja prodaje, v kateri se analizirajo napovedi tržnega razvoja, potencialnega povpraševanja in nihanja trga.
The decisions regarding the notified investment project followed this general process.
V okviru dolgoročnega načrtovanja prodaje se načrtuje razvoj proizvodov za […] let vnaprej in opredeli, katere dodatne proizvodne zmogljivosti je treba zgraditi ali katere prilagoditve obstoječih zmogljivosti so potrebne.
However, as they concerned an investment project of the brand Volkswagen, the relevant decisions were taken directly by the organs of the brand Volkswagen and there were no additional decisions at group level, because the composition of the group organs is largely identical to that of the Volkswagen brand.
Dolgoročno načrtovanje prodaje se kaže v letnih načrtovalnih ciklih, ki jih sklene nadzorni svet skupine in vključujejo finančni okvir načrtovanih naložb.
The introduction of new products within the VW Group is driven based on the so called product creation process (PEP) that ranges from product planning to the start of production (SOP).
Končni izdelek faze dolgoročnega načrtovanja prodaje je predlog za začetek novega(-ih) proizvoda(-ov), vendar še ne odločitev o razvoju proizvoda, naložbi ali lokaciji.
This PEP consists of four major phases as can be seen from the diagram below:
Glede priglašenega projekta je bilo leta 20xx v načrtovalnem ciklu 61 kot realistična prodajna možnost za nove proizvode v segmentih športnih terenskih vozil A0 in […] ([…]) določeno [140000–160000] enot na leto.
Project implementation investment
Pri načrtovanju proizvodnje je bilo ugotovljeno, da bo treba ustvariti ustrezne proizvodne zmogljivosti.
Investment and Production site
Hkrati bi morala kombinacija količin športnih terenskih vozil A0 in […] izpolnjevati okvirne pogoje za strategijo MQB.
Product decision/ Site pre-selection
Rezultat te faze je bil naložbeni paket MQB s [140000–160000] športnimi terenskimi vozili A0 in […] na leto za blagovno znamko Volkswagen, pri čemer je bil načrtovani začetek proizvodnje za športna terenska vozila A0 avgust 2016, za vozila […] pa november 2017.
LAP Planning Rounds
Razvoj proizvoda, odločitev o proizvodu in predhodna izbira obrata
LAP and planning round 61
V tej fazi več osrednjih oddelkov skupine VW in zadevnih proizvodnih obratov sodeluje pri pripravi odločitve o proizvodu in predhodni izbiri obrata.
The point of departure is the Long term Sales Planning (LAP) phase in which forecasts of the market development and of potential demand as well as market fluctuations are analysed.
V tej fazi ima osrednjo in povezovalno vlogo nadzorni oddelek.
The LAP schedules product developments for […] years ahead and identifies which additional production capacities have to be built, or which adjustments to existing capacities are necessary.
Prvi korak v drugi fazi je proces razvoja proizvoda, ki se po notranjih pravilih upravičenke vedno začne vsaj […] mesecev pred predvidenim začetkom proizvodnje, kar v primeru priglašenega projekta pomeni avgusta 2012 (prvi začetek proizvodnje […]).
The LAP is mirrored by the annual planning rounds (PR), which the Group Supervisory Board concludes and which contain the financial framework of the scheduled investments.
Za odločitev o proizvodu, tj. odločitev o proizvodnji proizvoda, predlaganega v okviru dolgoročnega načrtovanja prodaje, mora razvoj proizvoda izpolniti predhodno določeni cilj izvedljivosti.
The deliverable of the LAP phase is a proposal to launch new product(s), but not yet a product development, investment, or location decision.
Pričakovani prihodki, ki naj bi jih ustvaril novi proizvod, se primerjajo s stroški, potrebnimi za proizvodnjo (vključno z naložbo).
Regarding the notified project, planning round 61 in 20[…] established [140000-160000] units p.a. as a realistic sales potential for new products in the segments A0 SUV and […] ([…]).
Da se določijo pričakovani stroški proizvodnje, se najprej hipotetično kot predpostavka v načrtovanju določi ustrezna lokacija (lokacija prostorov).
The production planning identified the need to create corresponding production capacities.
Lokacija prostorov se uporabi za določitev prve strukture stroškov in okvira projekta.
At the same time, the combination of the A0 SUV and […] volumes should meet the framework conditions for the MQB strategy.
To ne pomeni predhodne določitve zadevnega proizvodnega obrata, temveč se s tem pripravi potreben osnovni scenarij za oceno pričakovanih proizvodnih stroškov.
The outcome of this phase was an MQB investment package of [140000-160000] A0 SUV and […] p.a. for the brand Volkswagen with planned start of production dates of August 2016 for the A0 SUV and of November 2017 for the […].
V primeru proizvoda, ki bo nasledil sedanjo proizvodnjo, se za lokacijo prostorov običajno izbere proizvodni obrat sedanjega proizvoda; za povsem nov proizvod (brez predhodnika) lokacija prostorov običajno temelji na kazalnikih uspešnosti, tj. za prvo hipotetično lokacijo se izbere lokacija z najboljšimi vrednostmi, povezanimi z uspešnostjo.
Product development, product decision and site pre-selection phase
V praksi se upoštevajo tudi dodatna merila, kot so proste zmogljivosti ali ustrezne strukture.
During this phase several central departments of the VW Group and the concerned production sites work together to prepare both the product decision and the site pre-selection.
V primeru priglašenega projekta se nova neposredna tuja naložba ni obravnavala, saj je naložbeni paket [140000–160000] avtomobilov, ki spadajo v tržni segment cene […], premajhen, da bi bila nova neposredna tuja naložba uspešna.
The controlling department takes the central and consolidating role during this phase.
Če proučitev lokacije ne zadeva nove neposredne tuje naložbe, sta glavni merili za opredelitev ustreznih lokacij, ali je v obstoječi obrat mogoče namestiti dodatne zmogljivosti in ali so obstoječi prostori tega obrata združljivi z načrtovanim projektom, npr. ali so dimenzije obstoječe ličarske delavnice ustrezne tudi za načrtovano novo naložbo itd.
The first step in this second phase is the product development process, which according to the beneficiary's internal rules always starts at least […] months in advance of the envisaged start of production date, in the case of the notified project in August 2012 (first SOP[…]).
Z uporabo teh meril so se določile štiri možne lokacije ([lokacija 1 na območju EGP, ki ne prejema pomoči], Setúbal, [lokacija 2 zunaj EGP] in [lokacija 3 na območju EGP, ki ne prejema pomoči]), za katere je Portugalska predložila informacije družbe iz julija 2012 o prvih primerljivih izračunih proizvodnih stroškov na avtomobil, ki jih je pripravil nadzorni oddelek družbe z blagovno znamko Volkswagen ([nadzor skupine]).
The product decision, i.e. the decision to produce a product proposed in the LAP, requires that the product development reaches a pre-defined feasibility target.
Ti izračuni so vključevali načrtovane obsege prodaje v segmentu športnih terenskih vozil A0 in segmentu […], poleg tega so zajemali načrtovane obsege prodaje [predhodno določenega modela], katerega proizvodnja je bila izjemoma predhodno določena za [lokacijo 1 na območju EGP, ki ne prejema pomoči].
The expected revenues generated by the new product are compared with the necessary production (including investment) costs.
Obravnavale so se tri možnosti za dodelitev predvidenih obsegov proizvodnje segmenta športnih terenskih vozil A0, segmenta […] in [predhodno določenega modela] štirim lokacijam, pri čemer je [nadzor skupine] za vsako možnost opravil predhodne izračune proizvodnih in naložbenih stroškov.
In order to determine the expected cost of production, first a particular location is set hypothetically as planning assumption (location premise).
Na višji stopnji procesa načrtovanja sta bili [lokacija 2 zunaj EGP] in [lokacija 3 na območju EGP, ki ne prejema pomoči] izključeni kot možni lokaciji, saj so bili zanju značilni visoki logistični stroški in stroški delovne sile.
The location premise is employed in order to determine a first cost structure and framework for the project.
Zaradi predhodne odločitve o postavitvi proizvodnje [predhodno določenega modela] na [lokacijo 1 na območju EGP, ki ne prejema pomoči] in [lokacijo 2 zunaj EGP] ter proizvodnji […] in […] na [lokaciji 3 na območju EGP, ki ne prejema pomoči] leta 2014 (ko je [nadzor skupine] opravil dodatne primerjalne izračune), niti [lokacija 2 zunaj EGP] niti [lokacija 3 na območju EGP, ki ne prejema pomoči] v nobenem primeru nista več imeli prostih rezervnih zmogljivosti.
This does not lead to a predetermination of a specific production site, but develops a required baseline for the assessment of expected production costs.
Zato je bila kombinacija števila športnih terenskih vozil A0 in […] proučena le za Setúbal in [lokacijo 1 na območju EGP, ki ne prejema pomoči].
In case of a successor product to an ongoing production, the current production site of the product will be usually chosen as the site premise; for an entirely new product (without predecessor) the site premise is usually based on performance indicators, i.e. the location with the best performance figures will be selected as first hypothesis.
Glede na navedeno je [nadzor skupine] pripravil odločitev o proizvodu, v okviru katere je za lokacijo prostorov izbral Setúbal.
In practice, additional criteria, such as free capacities or suitable structures, are taken into consideration as well.
Portugalska je predložila dokaz, da je odbor za izdelek blagovne znamke Volkswagen (Volkswagen Ausschuss Produkte, v nadaljnjem besedilu: VAP) 10. marca 2014 sprejel odločitev o proizvodu in potrdil Setúbal za lokacijo prostorov.
In the case of the notified project, a greenfield investment was not considered as an investment package of [140000-160000] cars falling into a […]price market segment is too small to render a greenfield investment viable.
Dokaz, ki ga je predložila Portugalska, kaže, da je bila možna državna pomoč v višini 36 milijonov EUR upoštevana že na tej stopnji.
If the location assessment does not concern a greenfield investment, the two main criteria for identifying suitable locations are whether at an existing plant additional capacities can still be installed, and whether the existing facilities at that site are compatible with the planned project, e.g. the dimensions of the existing paint shop are also suitable for the planned new investment, etc.
Odločitev o naložbi in lokaciji
The application of these criteria identified four possible locations ([location 1 in a non-assisted area in EEA], Setubal, [location 2 outside EEA] and [location 3 in a non-assisted area in EEA]) for which Portugal provided company information, dating from July 2012, on first comparative calculations of production costs per car done by the controlling of the brand Volkswagen ([Group Controlling]).
Naslednji korak po sprejetju odločitve je izbira najustreznejše lokacije za projekt.
These calculations included the planned sales volumes in the A0 SUV segment and the […] segment and covered, in addition, planned sales volumes for the [predefined model], whose production was exceptionally predefined for [location 1 in a non-assisted area in EEA].
Nadzorni oddelek običajno začne z vsemi proizvodnimi obrati družbe Volkswagen in zoži izbor na tiste lokacije, ki se zdijo ustrezne za naložbo.
Three different alternatives for assigning the envisaged production volumes of the A0 SUV segment, the […] segment and the [predefined model] to the four locations were considered, and for each alternative, [Group Controlling] conducted preliminary calculations of the production costs and investment costs.
Kot rezultat procesa ustvarjanja proizvoda se v dokumentu o odločitvi določita in povzameta naložbeni in proizvodni scenarij za vsak zadevni obrat.
At a more advanced stage of the planning process, [location 2 outside EEA] and [location 3 in a non-assisted area in the EEA] were excluded as possible locations, since they were characterised by high logistics and high personnel costs respectively.
Odbor za naložbe družbe z blagovno znamko Volkswagen (Volkswagen Ausschuss Investitionen, v nadaljnjem besedilu: VAI) se mora na podlagi priporočil glede posamezne lokacije in naložbe odločiti, ali bo projekt izveden.
At any event, due to earlier decisions to locate the [predefined model] production to [location 1 in a non-assisted area in the EEA] and [location 2 outside EEA], and to manufacture the […] and […] in [location 3 in a non-assisted area in the EEA], in 2014 (when further comparative calculations were done by [Group Controlling]), neither [location 2 outside EEA] nor [location 3 in a non-assisted area in the EEA] had any spare capacities left.
Kot je bilo pojasnjeno, je bil izbor zadevnih obratov na tej stopnji zožen na [lokacijo 1 na območju EGP, ki ne prejema pomoči] in Setúbal.
Therefore, a combination of the A0 SUV and […] volumes was assessed for Setubal and [location 1 in a non-assisted area in the EEA] only.
Za ta dva obrata so se določili in primerjali specifični proizvodni stroški, značilni za lokacijo.
In view of the above, [Group controlling] prepared the product decision with Setubal as location premise.
Ti stroški, specifični za lokacijo, zajemajo potrebne naložbene stroške in pričakovane proizvodne stroške v referenčnem obdobju.
Portugal provided evidence that on 10 March 2014 the Product committee of the brand Volkswagen (Volkswagen Ausschuss Produkte, VAP) took the product decision and confirmed Setubal as location premise.
Portugalska je predložila dejanske dokumente družbe iz tistega časa, ki sta jih pripravila [nadzor skupine] in […] (oddelek za državno pomoč skupine), z dne 9. maja 2014 kot dokaz analize nasprotnih dejstev, v kateri sta bili kot možni lokaciji navedena [lokacija 1 na območju EGP, ki ne prejema pomoči] in Setúbal.
The evidence submitted by Portugal shows that a possible State aid amount of up to EUR 36 million was taken into account already at this stage.
Ob tem je še pojasnila, da je imela [lokacija 1 na območju EGP, ki ne prejema pomoči] nekoliko višje vrednosti glede zmogljivosti, vendar je obrat v Setúbalu zmagal zaradi možnih koristi, ki jima prinaša regionalna pomoč za naložbe.
Investment and location decision
[Nadzor skupine] je na podlagi analize nasprotnih dejstev [19] VAI predložil priporočilo o odločitvi, v katerem je za lokacijo naložbe predlagal Setúbal.
Once the product decision is taken, the next step is the selection of the most suitable location for the project.
SORAZMERNOST POMOČI
The controlling department typically starts from the entirety of Volkswagen production sites and narrows this list down to those locations that seem suitable for the investment.
Portugalska opozarja, da se lahko izračuni, uporabljeni za prikaz spodbujevalnega učinka, uporabijo tudi kot podlaga za proučitev sorazmernosti pomoči.
As a result of the PEP process, the investment and production scenarios for each realistic site are specified and summarised in a decision paper.
Zato Portugalska trdi, da ni čezmerne izravnave, ker pomoč pomanjkljivosti lokacije Setúbala ne izravnava v celoti.
Based on a specific location and investment recommendation, the investment committee of the brand Volkswagen (Volkswagen Ausschuss Investitionen, VAI) needs to decide whether or not the project shall be realised.
Pomoč je zato sorazmerna.
As explained, the list of realistic sites had been narrowed down to [location 1 in a non-assisted area in the EEA] and Setubal at this stage.
Portugalska izpostavlja, da je VAI v svoji odločitvi glede lokacije upošteval tako finančne vidike kot kvalitativna merila, ki jih ni mogoče količinsko opredeliti, kot so razlogi družbene odgovornosti ali možnost preprečitve prenosa proizvodnje v druge obrate ob vrhuncih proizvodnje.
For these two sites, the specific production costs attributable to the location were determined and compared.
NEGATIVNI UČINKI POMOČI NA KONKURENCO IN TRGOVINO
Based on this counterfactual analysis [19], [Group controlling] submitted a decision recommendation to the VAI proposing Setubal as location for the investment.
Pomoč zato nima protikohezijskega učinka, ki bi nasprotoval utemeljitvi regionalne pomoči.
The investment and location decisions, confirming Setubal, were taken by the VAI on 28 May 2014 and 26 June 2014 [20].
PROUČITEV POMOČI
In addition, the first decision concedes a first budgetary tranche for clearing factory space for the first investments, and the second decision authorised the bulk of the investment expenditures.
Podporo zato zagotovi država članica, pri čemer se zagotovi z državnimi viri v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
PROPORTIONALITY OF THE AID
Ker se pomoč dodeljuje enemu podjetju, podjetju Autoeuropa, je ukrep selektiven.
Portugal notes that the calculations used to demonstrate the incentive effect can also be used as a basis for assessing the proportionality of the aid.
Finančna pomoč bo zagotovljena za naložbo v avtomobilskem sektorju, ki je predmet intenzivne trgovine med državami članicami, in bo delno nadomestila dobavo vmesnega blaga iz drugih držav članic.
The final calculation used by Portugal to demonstrate the incentive effect show a net financial handicap of Setubal compared to [location 1 in a non-assisted area in the EEA] of EUR 48 million.
Ukrep zato vpliva na trgovino med državami članicami.
