While SDO showed an interest in the property in February 2007 and later the same year signalled an interest in purchasing the property, no option to buy the property was granted by the Norwegian authorities, and there are no indications in the correspondence provided by the Norwegian authorities that sales negotiations or an agreement as to the purchase price was agreed upon before the conclusions of both expert valuations were known.
Podjetje SDO je interes za zemljišče izrazilo februarja 2007, pozneje istega leta pa tudi interes za njegov nakup, vendar pa mu norveški organi niso podelili nakupne pravice, prav tako tudi v korespondenci, ki so jo posredovali norveški organi, nič ne kaže na to, da bi do takrat, ko so bili znani rezultati obeh strokovnih ocen, potekala pogajanja o prodaji ali bil dosežen dogovor o prodajni ceni.

Having regard to the request submitted by Akershus Energi Vannkraft AS, E-CO Energi AS, EB Kraftproduksjon AS and Østfold Energi AS (‘the applicants’) to the Authority on 24 January 2012,
ob upoštevanju zahtevka, ki so ga pri Nadzornem organu 24. januarja 2012 vložila podjetja Akershus Energi Vannkraft AS, E-CO Energi AS, EB Kraftproduksjon AS in Østfold Energi AS (v nadaljnjem besedilu: vložniki),
Having regard to the Decision of the EFTA Surveillance Authority (‘the Authority’) of 19 April 2012 empowering the Member with special responsibility for public procurement to take certain decisions in the field of public procurement (Decision No 138/12/COL),
ob upoštevanju odločbe Nadzornega organa Efte (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Nadzorni organ) z dne 19. aprila 2012, ki članu s posebno odgovornostjo za javna naročila daje pooblastila za sprejemanje nekaterih odločitev na tem področju (Odločba št. 138/12/COL),
After consulting the EFTA Public Procurement Committee Assisting the EFTA Surveillance Authority,
po posvetu z Odborom Efte za javna naročila, ki pomaga Nadzornemu organu Efte,
On 24 January 2012, the Authority received a request pursuant to Article 30(5) of Directive 2004/17 from Akershus Energi Vannkraft AS, E-CO Energi AS, EB Kraftproduksjon AS and Østfold Energi AS to approve the applicability of Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC to activities of production and wholesale of hydroelectric power in Norway.
Nadzorni organ je 24. januarja 2012 prejel zahtevek podjetij Akershus Energi Vannkraft AS, E-CO Energi AS, EB Kraftproduksjon AS in Østfold Energi AS v skladu s členom 30(5) Direktive 2004/17/ES za potrditev, da se člen 30(1) Direktive 2004/17/ES uporablja za dejavnosti proizvodnje in veleprodaje hidroenergije na Norveškem.
By letters of 17 February 2012, the Authority requested additional information from both Norway (event No 624270) and the applicant (event No 624258).
Nadzorni organ je z dopisi z dne 17. februarja 2012 zahteval dodatne informacije od norveških organov (št. dogodka: 624270) in vložnikov (št. dogodka: 624258).
The Authority received a reply to this request from Norway by letter of 20 March 2012 and from the applicants by letter of 22 March 2012.
Nadzorni organ je odgovore na to zahtevo prejel od norveških organov z dopisom z dne 20. marca 2012 in od vložnikov z dopisom z dne 22. marca 2012.
The request by the applicants, which have to be considered as public undertakings within the meaning of Directive 2004/17/EC, concerns the production and wholesale supply of hydroelectric power, as described in the request.
Zahtevek vložnikov, ki jih je treba obravnavati kot javna podjetja v smislu Direktive 2004/17/ES, se nanaša na proizvodnjo in veleprodajo hidroenergije, kot je opisano v zahtevku.
Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC provides that contracts intended to enable an activity mentioned in Articles 3 to 7 to be carried out shall not be subject to Directive 2004/17 if, in the EFTA State in which it is performed, the activity is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted.
Člen 30(1) Direktive 2004/17/ES določa, da se Direktiva 2004/17/ES ne uporablja za naročila, katerih namen je omogočiti opravljanje dejavnosti iz členov 3 do 7, če je v državi Efte, v kateri se dejavnost opravlja, dejavnost neposredno izpostavljena konkurenci na trgih, do katerih dostop ni omejen.
According to Article 30(5) of Directive 2004/17/EC, a request for applicability of Article 30(1) may be submitted by contracting authorities if the legislation of the EEA State concerned provides for it.
V skladu s členom 30(5) Direktive 2004/17/ES lahko naročniki zaprosijo za uporabo člena 30(1), kadar tako določa zakonodaja zadevne države EGP.
It follows from Section 15-1, paragraph 2, of Regulation No 403 of 7 April 2006 on public procurement in the utilities sector (Forskrift nr. 403 av 7. April 2006 om innkjøp i forsyningssektorene) that contracting authorities may submit a request for application of Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC to the Authority, provided they have obtained an opinion from the Norwegian Competition Authority.
Iz odstavka 2 oddelka 15-1 Uredbe št. 403 z dne 7. aprila 2006 o javnih naročilih v sektorju gospodarskih javnih služb (Forskrift nr. 403 av 7. April 2006 om innkjøp i forsyningssektorene) izhaja, da naročniki lahko pri Nadzornem organu zaprosijo za uporabo člena 30(1) Direktive 2004/17/ES, če so prej pridobili mnenje norveškega urada za konkurenco.
The applicants obtained the opinion from the Norwegian Competition Authority on 16 March 2011, in which the Norwegian Competition Authority concluded that the relevant activities are directly exposed to competition on a market to which access is not restricted.
Vložniki so 16. marca 2011 pridobili mnenje norveškega urada za konkurenco, v katerem urad ugotavlja, da so zadevne dejavnosti neposredno izpostavljene konkurenci na trgu, do katerega dostop ni omejen.
Access to the market is deemed to be unrestricted if the State has implemented and applied the relevant EEA legislation opening a given sector or a part of it.
Dostop do trga se šteje za neomejenega, če je država pri odprtju zadevnega sektorja ali njegovega dela prenesla in uporablja ustrezno zakonodajo EGP.
This legislation is listed in Annex XI to Directive 2004/17/EC, which, for the electricity sector, refers to Directive 96/92/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 December 1996 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity [2].
Ta zakonodaja je navedena v Prilogi XI k Direktivi 2004/17/ES, ki se v zvezi z elektroenergetskim sektorjem [2] sklicuje na Direktivo 96/92/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 19. decembra 1996 o skupnih pravilih notranjega trga z električno energijo.
Directive 96/92/EC has been superseded by Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 96/92/EC [3] (‘Directive 2003/54/EC’), which is incorporated in point 22 of Annex IV to the EEA Agreement.
Direktivo 96/92/ES je nadomestila Direktiva 2003/54/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 26. junija 2003 o skupnih pravilih za notranji trg z električno energijo in o razveljavitvi Direktive 96/92/ES [3] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Direktiva 2003/54/ES), ki je vključena v točko 22 Priloge IV k Sporazumu EGP.
Thus, access to the market shall be deemed unrestricted if the Norwegian State has implemented and properly applied Directive 2003/54/EC.
Zato se šteje, da je dostop do trga neomejen, če je Norveška prenesla Direktivo 2003/54/ES v svojo zakonodajo in jo pravilno uporablja.
The exposure to competition shall be evaluated on the basis of various indicators, none of which is, per se, decisive.
Izpostavljenost konkurenci se oceni na podlagi različnih kazalnikov, od katerih nobeden sam zase ni odločilen.
In respect of the markets concerned by this decision, the market share of the main players on a given market constitutes one criterion which should be taken into account.
V zvezi s trgi, ki jih zadeva ta odločba, je eno od meril, ki jih je treba upoštevati, tržni delež glavnih akterjev na določenem trgu.
The relevant product market is production and wholesale supply of electricity [4].
Upoštevni proizvodni trg zajema proizvodnjo in veleprodajo električne energije [4].
The market therefore covers the production of electricity at power stations and the import of electricity through interconnectors for the purpose of resale directly to large industrial customers or to retailers.
Trg torej zajema proizvodnjo električne energije v elektrarnah in uvoz električne energije prek povezovalnih vodov za nadaljnjo prodajo neposredno velikim industrijskim odjemalcem ali podjetjem, ki se ukvarjajo z maloprodajo.
Geographic market
Geografski trg
The Norwegian wholesale power market is highly integrated into the Nordic market (Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland).
Norveški veleprodajni trg električne energije je močno integriran v nordijski trg (Danska, Norveška, Švedska in Finska).
A major share of the production of electric power in the Nordic region is traded through the common Nordic exchange for contracts for physical delivery of electric power, operated by Nord Pool Spot AS (Nord Pool).
Z velikim delom proizvodnje električne energije v nordijski regiji se trguje na skupni nordijski borzi prek pogodb za fizično dobavo električne energije, ki jo upravlja podjetje Nord Pool Spot AS (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Nord Pool).
Nord Pool’s Nordic electricity exchange currently covers the wholesale power markets in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Estonia.
Nordijska borza električne energije, ki jo upravlja Nord Pool, zajema veleprodajne energetske trge na Norveškem, Švedskem, Danskem, Finskem in v Estoniji.
Nord Pool operates two markets for physical wholesale trading of electric power: the day-ahead market Elspot where hourly power contracts are traded daily for physical delivery in the next day’s 24 hour period and Elbas which is a continuous cross-border intra-day market where adjustments to trades done in the day-ahead market are made until one hour prior to the delivery.
Nord Pool upravlja dva trga za fizično trgovanje z električno energijo na debelo: promptni trg Elspot, kjer se dnevno trguje z urnimi pogodbami o fizični dobavi električne energije v 24 urah naslednjega dne, in trg Elbas za kontinuirano čezmejno trgovanje, kjer so možne prilagoditve poslov, opravljenih na promptnem trgu, do ene ure pred izvršitvijo posla.
Together these markets covered 74 % of the Nordic consumption of electricity in 2010 with a volume of 307 TWh.
Ta dva trga sta v letu 2010 skupaj pokrila 74 % porabe električne energije v nordijski regiji v obsegu 307 TWh.
The remaining traded volume is negotiated bilaterally by supplier and customer.
O preostali količini električne energije, s katero se trguje, se dvostransko pogajata dobavitelj in odjemalec.
The Nordic market is divided into several bidding areas which are coupled by interconnectors.
Nordijski trg je razdeljen na več območij ponudnikov, ki so povezana s povezovalnimi vodi.
The trading price on Elspot is based on the bids and offers from all participants in the market and is set to balance supply and demand in the market for each hour during the 24 hour period.
Trgovalna cena na trgu Elspot temelji na ponujenih nakupnih in prodajnih cenah vseh udeležencev na trgu in je določena tako, da sta ponudba in povpraševanje na trgu vsako uro v 24-urnem obdobju uravnotežena.
The price mechanism in Elspot adjusts the flow of power across the interconnectors in the market to the available trading capacity given by the Nordic transmission system operators.
Mehanizem določanja cen na trgu Elspot prilagaja pretok električne energije prek povezovalnih vodov na trgu glede na razpoložljivo zmogljivost trgovanja, ki jo sporočijo operaterji nordijskega prenosnega sistema.
Transmission capacity constraints within the Nordic region may lead to temporary congestion separating the Nordic area geographically into smaller markets.
Omejitve prenosnih zmogljivosti znotraj nordijske regije lahko povzročijo začasno prezasedenost, zaradi česar se nordijsko območje geografsko razdeli na manjše trge.
At the interconnections between the Nordic countries and within Norway, price mechanisms are used to relieve grid congestion by introducing different Elspot area prices.
Na povezovalnih vodih med nordijskimi državami in znotraj Norveške se za zmanjšanje prezasedenosti omrežja z uporabo mehanizmov določanja cen uvedejo različne cene za posamezna območja trga Elspot.
There may thus be different prices in the price areas which balance supply and demand in the area.
Zato so cene po cenovnih območjih lahko različne, kar omogoča uravnoteženost ponudbe in povpraševanja na zadevnem območju.
Consequently, the relevant geographic market might vary from one hour to the next.
Posledično se upoštevni geografski trg lahko iz ure v uro spreminja.
In case of congestion, the relevant geographic market is narrower then the Nordic area and might coincide with domestic bidding areas.
V primeru prezasedenosti je upoštevni geografski trg manjši od nordijskega območja in lahko ustreza domačim območjem ponudnikov.
There are currently five bidding areas in Norway [5].
Trenutno je na Norveškem pet območij ponudnikov [5].
The percentage of hours, however, in which there are price differences between the areas within the Nordic region are limited:
Vendar je delež ur, v katerih prihaja do cenovnih razlik med območji v nordijski regiji, nizek:

NO 2 — Kristiansand
št. 2 – Kristiansand
NO 3 — Trondheim
št. 3 – Trondheim
NO 4 — Tromsø
št. 4 – Tromsø

št. 5 – Bergen
Most of the time, price areas are connected:
Večino časa so cenovna območja povezana:

NO 1 — NO 2 — NO 5
št. 1 – št. 2 – št. 5
NO 3 — NO 4 — Sweden
št. 3 – št. 4 – Švedska
Norwegian price areas are generally integrated with Sweden.
Norveška cenovna območja so večinoma integrirana s Švedsko.
The possibility of the occurrence of congestions may raise concerns on the possible exploitation of temporary bottlenecks that could increase local market power.
Možnost nastanka prezasedenosti lahko vzbuja zaskrbljenost zaradi morebitnega izkoriščanja začasnih ozkih grl, kar bi lahko povečalo lokalno tržno moč.
On this basis, Norwegian competition authorities have defined the relevant geographic market as Nordic in hours without congestions and smaller in hours of congestion [6].
Na tej osnovi so norveški organi za konkurenco opredelili upoštevni geografski trg kot nordijsko območje v urah brez prezasedenosti ter kot manjše območje od nordijskega v urah prezasedenosti [6].
The issue of whether the market should be defined as covering the Nordic region or narrower in scope will be left open as the result of the analysis remains the same whether it is based on a narrow or broader definition.
Vprašanje, ali trg zajema nordijsko regijo ali manjše območje, bo ostalo odprto, saj rezultat analize ostaja enak ne glede na to, ali temelji na ožji ali širši opredelitvi trga.
In light of the information currently available to it, and for the present purposes, it appears that Norway has fully implemented and applied Directive 2003/54/EC.
Ob upoštevanju trenutno razpoložljivih informacij in za potrebe te odločbe se zdi, da je Norveška v celoti prenesla Direktivo 2003/54/ES v svojo zakonodajo in jo v celoti izvaja.
Consequently, and in accordance with the first subparagraph of Article 30(3), access to the market should be deemed not to be restricted on the territory of Norway.
Na podlagi te ugotovitve in v skladu s prvim pododstavkom člena 30(3) se šteje, da dostop do trga na celotnem ozemlju Norveške ni omejen.
Exposure to competition
Izpostavljenost konkurenci
The Authority, in line with the European Commission [7], will analyse the market share of the three main producers, the degree of concentration in the market and the degree of market liquidity.
Nadzorni organ bo v soglasju z Evropsko komisijo [7] analiziral tržni delež treh glavnih proizvajalcev, stopnjo koncentracije na trgu in stopnjo likvidnosti trga.
The European Commission considers that, in respect of electricity production, ‘one indicator for the degree of competition on national markets is the total market share of the biggest three producers’ [8].
(20) Evropska komisija meni, da je v zvezi s proizvodnjo električne energije „eden od pokazateljev stopnje konkurence na nacionalnih trgih […] skupni tržni delež treh največjih proizvajalcev“ [8].
The aggregate market share in terms of production capacity of the three largest producers in the Nordic region in 2010 was of 45,1 % (Vattenfall: 18,8 %, Statkraft: 13,3 % and Fortum: 13 %) which is an acceptable level.
Skupni tržni delež v smislu proizvodne zmogljivosti treh največjih proizvajalcev v nordijski regiji je v letu 2010 znašal 45,1 % (Vattenfall: 18,8 %, Statkraft: 13,3 % in Fortum: 13 %), kar je sprejemljiva raven.
The degree of concentration in Norway as measured by the Hirschman-Herfindahl Index (HHI) by capacity was 1826 in 2008 [9].
Stopnja koncentracije na Norveškem, izmerjena s Hirschmann-Herfindahlov indeksom (HHI) glede na zmogljivost, je v letu 2008 znašala 1826 [9].
The Nordic wholesale market for electric power must be regarded as competitive.
Nordijski veleprodajni trg električne energije je treba obravnavati kot konkurenčnega.
The transition to an open market in the Nordic region has been very successful.
Prehod na odprt trg je bil v nordijski regiji zelo uspešen.
There are over 300 traders registered on the exchange.
Na borzi je registriranih več kot 300 trgovcev.
As illustrated above, bottlenecks due to congestion are rare and temporary in nature.
Kot je bilo pojasnjeno prej, so ozka grla zaradi prezasedenosti redka in začasna.
A constant competitive pressure deriving from the potential to obtain electricity from outside the Norwegian territory therefore exists.
Torej obstaja nenehen konkurenčni pritisk zaradi možnosti pridobivanja električne energije iz območij zunaj norveškega ozemlja.
No transmission fee is charged between the Nordic countries.
Med nordijskimi državami se ne zaračunavajo pristojbine za prenos.
The frequently uncongested links between Norway and other price areas ensure that investment in the electricity sector inside the Norwegian territory cannot be made without taking into account other producers in the Nordic market.
Povezave med Norveško in drugimi cenovnimi območji so redko prezasedene, zato naložbe v sektor električne energije znotraj norveškega ozemlja niso možne brez upoštevanja drugih proizvajalcev na nordijskem trgu.
Furthermore, prices for wholesale electricity are set by Nord Pool, which operates a highly liquid trading platform.
Poleg tega veleprodajne cene električne energije določa Nord Pool, ki upravlja visoko likvidno trgovalno platformo.
Furthermore, the functioning of the balancing markets should also be considered as an indicator, not only in respect of production but also for the wholesale market.
Poleg tega je kot enega od kazalnikov treba upoštevati tudi delovanje izravnalnih trgov, ne samo v zvezi s proizvodnjo, ampak tudi za veleprodajni trg.
In fact, any market participant who cannot easily match its production portfolio to the characteristics of its customers may find himself exposed to the difference between the price at which the transmission system operator (TSO) will sell imbalance energy, and the price at which it will buy back excess production.
Dejansko je lahko vsak udeleženec na trgu, ki svoj proizvodni portfelj težko prilagodi lastnostim svojih strank, izpostavljen razliki med ceno, po kateri bo upravljavec prenosnega sistema prodajal izravnalno električno energijo, in ceno, po kateri bo odkupil presežno proizvodnjo.
These prices may either directly be imposed by the regulator on the TSO; or alternatively a market based mechanism will be used in which the price is determined by bids from other producers to regulate their production upwards or downwards.
Te cene lahko upravljavcem prenosnih omrežij neposredno predpiše regulatorni organ ali pa se kot druga rešitev uporabi tržni mehanizem, po katerem se cena določi na podlagi ponudb drugih proizvajalcev, ki lahko tako svojo proizvodnjo popravijo navzgor ali navzdol.
There is an almost fully integrated balancing market in the Nordic region for supplying balancing energy and its main characteristics — market based pricing and a low spread between the buying price from the TSO and the selling price — are such that it should be taken as an indicator of direct exposure to competition.
V nordijski regiji obstaja skoraj popolnoma integriran izravnalni trg za dobavo izravnalne energije, njegove glavne značilnosti (tržno določanje cen ter majhne razlike med nakupno ceno upravljavca prenosnega omrežja in prodajno ceno) pa kažejo na neposredno izpostavljenost konkurenci.
These factors should therefore be taken as an indication of direct exposure to competition for the relevant market under review irrespective of whether the geographical scope of the market extends to the Nordic region as a whole or is narrower in scope.
Zato je treba te dejavnike upoštevati kot pokazatelje neposredne izpostavljenosti konkurenci na upoštevnem trgu, ki je predmet pregleda, ne glede na to, ali geografski obseg trga zajema celotno nordijsko regijo ali manjše območje.
In view of the abovementioned indicators in Norway, the condition of direct exposure to competition laid down in Article 30(1) of Directive 2004/17/EC should be considered to be met in respect of production and wholesale of electricity in Norway.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenih pokazateljev je mogoče ugotoviti, da je pri proizvodnji in veleprodaji električne energije na Norveškem pogoj glede neposredne izpostavljenosti konkurenci iz člena 30(1) Direktive 2004/17/ES izpolnjen.
Besides, as noted in recital 18, the condition of free access to the activity must be deemed to be met.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 18, se šteje, da je izpolnjen tudi pogoj glede prostega dostopa do dejavnosti.
