1. And, above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in the United States for 221 years — block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
2. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you to join in the work of remaking this nation, the only way it's been done in America for 221 years; block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
3. In total, the user companies represented about 38 % of Community magnesia brick consumption.
4. Moreover, it is usually very difficult, in particular for customs authorities, to identify the producer of any magnesia brick traded.
5. Hence, it is not possible to draw any meaningful conclusion with regard to the level of trade intensity in the ceramic industry, and for the brick industry there is only the approximate value referred to in recital 76.
6. The Netherlands has explained that the brick industry in the Netherlands, which accounts for 85–90 % of natural gas and energy consumption in the Dutch ceramic industry, employs approximately 1500 people.
7. In 2008 this subsector had a turnover of around EUR 370 million. The Dutch brick industry exports around 20 % of its annual output, whereas the level of imports equals 8 % of annual Dutch production.
8. Nevertheless, the Netherlands observes that the figures from the Dutch Central Statistics Office that have been submitted show that since then the export of Dutch bricks to Germany has lagged behind. In short, at the beginning of the century both the German and the Dutch industry made heavy losses on the German market, but the German brick sector has gained as a result of the recovery of the housing market in Germany, and the Dutch brick producers have not.
9. Additionally, and in spite of the Commission’s express request that the recipients’ market shares in the relevant geographic markets should also be provided, no multiannual market data has been submitted in support of the Netherlands’ statement that the market share of the Dutch-made brick is in decline.
10. At the beginning of the present century there was severe stagnation in the markets for the construction of housing in Germany and the Netherlands (in 2000/2001 the German brick industry experienced a loss of almost 20 % of turnover and sales).
11. The Netherlands points out that the figures in Table 2 show strong growth in imports of German brick into the Netherlands from 2006/2007 onward. The figures submitted by the Netherlands for the first quarter of 2008 show that this trend continued.
12. However, the allegation that it is difficult to pass on the cost increase is contradicted by the Netherlands’ statement tha t the tax has been passed on so far, and by the fact that over the period for which the data are submitted exports by the Dutch brick sector increased, from EUR 189 million in 2001 to EUR 225 million in 2007.
13. The Commission does not consider that information on one hypothetical average brick manufacturer is sufficient for an assessment of the compatibility of the proposed tax exemption with regard to the ceramic industry in the Netherlands as a whole, because one particular average producer cannot be considered representative of the whole industry.
14. If not combusted in the CHP-installation, SEL would have had the following options: (1) land-spreading, in particular as regards the sludge from the water cleaning, not as regards de-inking sludge, (2) use in the brick industry, (3) use as fuel in electricity production, in particular as the sludge qualifies as biomass, (4) use in the cement industry, operating aid: SEL will be entitled to green energy certificates for the electricity it produces.
15. The following information was also requested for purposes of an assessment of the possibility of passing on costs, but was not supplied: sales figures for ceramics, in volume and value per year, for an average undertaking in each relevant market over the last 10 years (it was indeed submitted that the brick segment had an annual turnover of EUR 370 million in the Netherlands, but no information on volume was given; on the basis of historical information it was also estimated that the decorative earthenware segment had an annual turnover of EUR 7–10 million); the total figure paid per year in energy tax by an undertaking in the relevant market over the last 10 years (the Netherlands provided data only for an average brick company in 2009); energy costs for an undertaking in the relevant market over the last 10 years (the Netherlands provided data only for an average brick undertaking in 2009); estimates of price elasticity for products in the relevant product and geographic markets; estimates of decreasing turnover or profit, or both, for undertakings in these markets; and the development of the market shares of Dutch producers in the relevant geographic markets.
