Voorbeeldzinnen

1. Italian weighted average smelter tariff
2. EEA weighted average smelter tariff
3. The letter expressly excluded the smelter located in Veneto [117].
4. This is the wording of Article 1 of the 2004 Decree. It also covered Alcoa’s Fusina smelter, even though that smelter was not located in an insular area devoid of connections to the energy networks.
5. Part of the alumina produced (about 25 %) is used in the nearby Alcoa primary aluminium smelter, for which Eurallumina is the sole supplier.
6. As it produces smelter grade alumina, there is no a distortion of competition as regards plants in Europe producing chemical grade alumina.
7. In several merger decisions [13], the Commission has found that there are two separate product markets: smelter-grade alumina (hereinafter ‘SGA’) and chemical-grade alumina (hereinafter ‘CGA’).
8. However, the Commission fails to see how such projects could halve electricity prices to bring them to the level of EUR 30/MWh which, according to Alcoa, is required to make its smelter profitable.
9. Alcoa’s recent decision to build a smelter in Iceland (which is an EEA country) seems to contradict directly Alcoa’s argument that capacity shut down in Italy would not be replaced elsewhere in the EU/EEA.
10. The French and Irish plants benefit from a similar exemption, the German plant uses natural gas that is also exempted from excise duties and the plants in Spain and Greece do not compete with the Sardinian plant to a significant extent, as the major part of their production is used in an adjacent aluminium smelter and the remaining part consists principally of chemical grade alumina which is a separate market.
