[martin42]

Ich bin selbst vor kurzem eingestiegen, nachdem ich tomra schon länger sporadisch beobachte. Die Kursentwicklung der letzten Tage, die entgegengesetzt zum Marktgeschehen verläuft, bestätigt mir meinen Einstieg. Da tomra ja nicht 100% des Marktes beherrscht, würden mich die Konkurrenzunternehmen interessieren. Ich habe bislang keine anderen als tomra-Rücknahmeautomaten gesehen.
Kennt ihr welche?

Tomra Systems
Norway

Business Description
Tomra Systems (Tomra) is a manufacturer and operator of automated systems for recovery and recycling of beverage containers. The company sells, leases and services reverse vending machines. Tomra is also involved in materials handling--the pick-up of containers, sorting, crushing, cleaning, bailing, and marketing of the materials to recyclers. The company operates in over 30 countries and is involved in the recycling of approximately 2% of the total global volume of used beverage containers each year.

Industry Position
Tomra operates in the environmental control industry. Within an industry that has traditionally dealt with waste disposal and environmental clean up activities, Tomra`s strategies and operations are a refreshing change. Companies involved in the collection and recycling of materials contribute to reducing the need for virgin materials in production processes.

The EU Packaging and Waste Directive, implemented during 1996/1997 in Europe, has been extremely influential in the development of this industry sector and focuses on beverage packaging due to its high share of total waste. This industry is likely to see increased growth as governing bodies such as the California State Government and the Norwegian Government continue to pass beneficial legislation for the handling of deposit beverage containers. Thus, the need for reverse vending machines and other systems that facilitate recycling continues to grow.

Sustainability Strategies and Issues
Tomra pioneered reverse vending machines for beverage containers in 1972 and is evolving into a total-system supplier to beverage and retail industries worldwide for handling post-consumer packaging. Tomra states that its mission is "Helping the World Recycle." The company has a vision of being "the world`s number one provider of solutions that make it attractive for people to return packaging for reuse and recycling." Tomra provides the infrastructure to facilitate recycling, and, by closing the materials cycle, Tomra contributes to improved eco-efficiency in the beverage industry.

Tomra states it is of strategic importance to the organization to achieve eco-efficiency in its materials handling and collection operations as well as in its own product range. The company recognizes its responsibility for the environmental impacts generated through its operations. To track and control this impact, Tomra operates a formal environmental management system certified to ISO 14001 standards. Using a holistic approach, Tomra focuses its energy on continuous improvement in areas with the greatest potential for improvement. While all efforts to improve environmental performance are worthwhile, we would suggest Tomra could make an even greater difference by focusing on areas with the greatest environmental impact.

Scoring Analysis
Product. Recent Nordic research examining Life Cycle Analyses (LCAs) on various beverage containers concluded that materials recovery (recycling) is the most eco-efficient solution to displace the use of virgin material in manufacturing new beverage containers. In fact, Tomra reports that making aluminum cans from scrap cans saves 95% of the energy used in their production from raw materials. These findings have strengthened Tomra`s commitment to help the world recycle and reduce environmental degradation through the use of reverse vending machines and other recycling systems. The company has also initiated a LCA of different container collection models to improve the design of future systems. Tomra has a Design for Environment program and has developed a resource for engineers and project managers called the "Greenbook." This book is designed to assist in the development of projects and equipment with environmental considerations. Tomra educates its suppliers on the importance of environmental responsibility. The company has developed comprehensive purchasing guidelines (including a restricted materials list) that state environmental requirements are evaluated equally with performance under the term `total quality.` The company also has guidelines for packaging materials which focus on reusing and reducing packaging, as well as requiring that all packaging be based primarily on recycled and recyclable material. Tomra continually works to reduce the impacts of transportation. LCA studies, however, have revealed that transportation during product assembly and distribution is very small compared to energy consumption during reverse vending machine operation. As a result, Tomra`s focus in designing new equipment is to reduce energy consumption of its machines. For maintenance and pick up of collected materials, the company utilizes a web based system that is linked to individual machines. Machines automatically report their status via the internet, thus allowing Tomra to efficiently plan pick up and maintenance services. The company takes responsibility for its machines and accessories when they are removed from service. All equipment components are recycled where possible and Tomra actively seeks to influence authorities to establish recycling systems in markets where they do not yet exist. At this point, no data is available on the improvements in energy efficiency of the company`s machines. Investments. Tomra`s research and development focuses on designing new reverse vending machines and recycling systems that meet market needs while reducing their environmental impact. In terms of mergers and acquisitions, Tomra has maintained its focus on facilitating recycling in the beverage industry. The company acquired Carco in 1997 and Mobile Recycling Inc and the west coast operations of Reynolds Recycling in 1998. As part of Tomra`s strategy to take an active part in the process of engineering a closed loop technology for PET plastic containers, the company made a $5 million USD investment in UltrePET LLC. Combining Tomra`s PET supply stream with UltraPET`s operations will help Tomra reach its goal of creating a "bottle to bottle" operation. Leadership. Tomra`s business is based on providing an easy and convenient way for consumers to `close the loop` and return their beverage containers so that the materials may be reused for future beverage containers. This company clearly sees the need for reducing materials use and environmental degradation and has developed a strategy to make a profit while facilitating recycling. Erik Thorsen, CEO, and the top management team at Tomra are involved in environmental strategy discussions and participate in the annual reviews of environmental initiatives. This team formulated the company`s environmental policy and initiated the environmental programs that are currently in place. In terms of political activities, Tomra believes a commercial enterprise should not attempt to lead or influence policy makers and states it does not lobby or engage in other such activities. The company does, however, state that it encourages the establishment of recycling systems for materials and markets where no such systems exist. Tomra also communicates with governmental and other bodies, providing information on systems and possible solutions. Public messages promoting recycling are a key part of Tomra`s business. The company works to increase consumer participation in its recycling programs, effectively educating the public about environmental concerns as a good reason to recycle. Communication with the public occurs primarily through in store promotions and community based marketing. Environmental Management. Tomra`s environmental policy is solid with well-defined goals; however, the company states no sustainability objectives. Efforts are currently underway to include the triple bottom line concept into the company`s policy. The policy places responsibility for implementation on managers at all levels and has a number of employees dedicated to environmental management. Tomra`s 1998 environmental report set forth environmental education for designated managers and employees as one of its goals for 1999. The company received ISO 14001 certification in late 1999 and performs periodic evaluations and audits of company operations. During 1998 eight audits, including one external audit, were performed. Tomra publishes an environmental report as part of its annual report but could provide more detailed information including year to year comparisons and company wide statistics. Liabilities. Tomra is not responsible for any spills, toxic releases or superfund sites. The company reports no environmental liabilities. Factory/Facility Level Improvements. Tomra reports that pollution prevention programs exist at the factory level; however, details on these programs are not available. Company representatives state that all Tomra units are responsible for preventing pollution and increasing eco-efficiency. The company has begun to track and report resource usage in its headquarter facilities and we would like to see this extended to a company-wide program. In these same facilities Tomra separates twelve different types of material for recycling. The building utilizes heat-pump technology and has automatic lighting controls to reduce energy consumption. General. Tomra has developed a system whereby customers can donate the proceeds from the bottle returns to local charities. This program is in place in Finland, Sweden and Denmark and there are plans for expansion.

Pfand auf Einweg-Verpackungen - Entscheidung über Sicherheitsstandard am 24. Januar 2003

Der Exekutivausschuss des Handels und der Getränkeindustrie wird am 24. Januar 2003 beraten, welcher technische Standard für die Gewährleistung des sicheren Betriebs eines Rücknahmesystems für bepfandete Einweg-Getränkeverpackungen zu empfehlen ist. Zur Vorbereitung dieser Entscheidung hat am 10. Januar 2003 eine Arbeitsgruppe von Technik-Experten der Getränkeindustrie die im Markt angebotenen Sicherheits- und Kennzeichnungs-lösungen bewertet. Vorzug gegeben werden soll nach Auffassung der Arbeitsgruppe einer Technologie, die auf bereits vorhandene Merkmale der Verpackungen (EAN-Code, Form, Material, Gewicht) und neu einzuführende, zusätzliche Merkmale (Deckelprägung für Dosen oder UV-Streifen für andere Gebinde) zurückgreift. Für diese Technologie sind im Markt mehrere Anbieter vorhanden. Sämtliche Ergebnisse des mehrstufigen Auswahlverfahrens werden derzeit von dem Beratungs-unternehmen Roland Berger für die Entscheidung des Exekutiv-ausschusses aufbereitet. Wenn sich der Exekutivausschuss nach Abwägung aller Gesichtspunkte und Anforderungen der Marktbeteiligten auf eine Lösung verständigt, wird er deren Freistellung beim Bundeskartellamt beantragen und sie nach erfolgter Freistellung der Wirtschaft als technischen Standard empfehlen.

wenn man sich am 24. 01. tatsächlich über dieses label einigen kann, ist planungssicherheit für die hersteller und aufbauer gegeben. bei der agvu, die diese mitteilung am 14. rausgegeben hat, wird die endgültige entscheidung dafür getroffen. alle wichtigen hersteller, möglichen systembetreiber und handelsketten sind dort vertreten. man will eine schnelle entscheidung um planungssicherheit zu haben.
also, wird das am 24.01. abgesegnet ist tomra voll im rennen, da dann die order der automaten beginnen kann. die großen player werden wohl ausschließlich auf tomra setzen. einige wenige setzen auf "reverse vending" ich schätze so 90:10 % liegt das derzeitige orderinteresse. die discounter überlegen aber immer noch ob eine händische rücknahme den automaten vorzuziehen ist.

Kartellamt will Dosenpfand-Regelung genau beobachten

Donnerstag 23. Januar 2003, 15:06 Uhr

Bonn, 23. Jan (Reuters) - Das Bundeskartellamt wird nach Angaben seines Präsidenten
Ulf Böge sicher stellen, dass bei der Umsetzung des Dosenpfands der Wettbewerb nicht eingeschränkt wird.

Böge sagte am Donnerstag in Bonn, die Wettbewerbshüter würden genau darauf achten, dass die geplante Clearingstelle nicht zu Preisfestlegungen führen und transparent ausgeschrieben werde. Es müsse gewährleistet werden, dass ein Sicherheitssystem "transparent und diskriminierungsfrei" eingerichtet werde.

Wegen der neuen Dosenpfandregelung soll bis Oktober ein bundesweites System aufgebaut werden, das die Rückgabe von Einweg-Getränkeverpackungen in jedem Geschäft ermöglichen soll. Bislang kann das Einweg-Leergut nur dort zurückgegeben werden, wo es gekauft wurde. Bedingungen für ein bundesweites System ist die Clearing-Stelle. Sie sorgt für Ausgleichszahlungen zwischen den Geschäften, die mehr Pfand eingenommen haben und denen, die mehr Dosen zurückgenommen haben. Böge sagte, grundsätzlich sei es möglich, die Clearingstelle vom Kartellverbot freizustellen. Sie dürfe dem Wettbewerb aber keinen Riegel vorschieben.

Der zuständige Exekutivausschuss von Handel und Getränkeindustrie soll am Freitag entscheiden, welchem Rücknahmesystem der Zuschlag gegeben wird. Branchenexperten zufolge wäre damit auch eine Vorentscheidung darüber getroffen, welcher Hersteller bei der Auftragsvergabe zum Zuge kommt. Neben dem Marktführer Tomra Systems und der thüringischen Prokent gibt es eine Handvoll weiterer Bewerber.

Das Bundeskartellamt geht bereits gegen das Duale System Deutschland (DSD) vor. Nach Auffassung der Wettbewerbshüter stellt das DSD, das gebrauchte Einwegverpackungen mit dem "Grünen Punkt" einsammelt, ein Kartell dar. Böge unterstrich erneut, es sei nur sehr schwer vorstellbar, dass das Amt dies über das Jahr 2006 hinaus akzeptieren werde. Das DSD verfüge derzeit über einen Marktanteil von 95 Prozent. Das Amt verhängte am Donnerstag eine Geldstrafe von 1,8 Millionen Euro gegen das DSD, weil es nach seiner Auffassung zusammen mit anderen Verbänden und Firmen mit Boykottaufrufen gegen Wettbewerber vorgegangen war. Das DSD kündigte Widerspruch gegen diese Entscheidung an.

TOMRA - HIGHLIGHTS FOURTH QUARTER 2002


- Revenues from continuing operations 651 MNOK (-7% related to

fourth quarter 2001)

- Europe 222 MNOK (-22%)

- North America 308 MNOK (0%)

- South America 121 MNOK (+15%)

- Adjusted for currency impact, revenue increased by 5% relative to

the fourth quarter 2001 (continuing operations)

- Operating profit 82 MNOK compared to a loss of 330 MNOK in the

fourth quarter 2001

- Strong cash flow, contributing to a year-end cash balance in excess

of 1 billion NOK.


Germany

On 1 January 2003, Germany introduced deposit on 14 billion

non-refillable containers for soft drink, beer and mineral water.

This is in addition to the existing deposit system for 31 billion

refillable containers. An interim, chain- or store-based solution for

non-refillable containers, based on manual handling in stores, is

currently operating. This interim solution will be replaced on 1

October 2003 by a national and automated system. TOMRA will use its

extensive technological resources to assist the industry in

developing the required solutions for Germany. Given the chosen

solution incorporating automated collection, compaction and other

items, TOMRA has not changed its expectation of the total market

potential in Germany in a medium term perspective.

Finland

Several new store openings, which have a private deposit system on

non-refillable PET containers, have been the main driver of the

positive development in Finland over the past six months. The

positive development generated by such store openings is not expected

to continue in 2003.

Israel

TOMRA received an initial order for fifty machines for the Israeli

market , half of which were delivered in December 2002. The remaining

number of machines were delivered in January 2003. The distributor

agreement, of November 2002 with Afcon Control & Automation Ltd.,

positions TOMRA for placement of a further potential of 450 machines

in 2003.

U.S. West

Operations in California were profitable during the fourth quarter

2002. Based on interest from several major retailers, TOMRA is

prepared to expand its recycling center serices in California.

However, TOMRA will delay any investment decisions until a final

resolution of legislative amendments related to man-hour reduction

and payment structure from the state is concluded, which is expected

by mid-2003.

U.S. East

TOMRA continued large scale roll-out of TOMRA 83 HcP in Michigan in

fourth quarter. For the year, TOMRA has installed 1,900 machines in

U.S. East and Canada. TOMRA expects to install approximately 2,200

machines in this area in 2003.

Brazil

Focus during the fourth quarter 2002 has been to optimize operations

at the recently acquired IMCO collection centers. In addition, TOMRA

has focused on adapting its non-deposit model to recently approved

legislation in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Under the newly passed

law, all stakeholders, which are responsible for bringing PET bottles

into the market, must recycle at minimum 25%. TOMRA is in discussions

with all relevant stakeholders regarding a future roll-out of its

currently piloted rePlanet centers.

Interessant hier ist die zukünftige Rolle der Mehrwegquote.

Pfand für alle Einweggetränke

Bund und Länder haben sich auf eine Vereinfachung des Pfands bei Einweggetränken verständigt. Eine entsprechende Novelle solle zum 1. Oktober in Kraft treten, sagte Bundesumweltminister Jürgen Trittin.

Nach Angaben Trittins werden künftig alle Einweggetränke-Verpackungen mit einem Pfand belegt. Ausnahmen soll es nur für so genannte ökologisch vorteilhafte Verpackungen wie etwa Schlauchbeutel oder Getränkekartons geben. Ebenso frei von Einwegpfand bleiben Wein, Spirituosen und bestimmte diätetische Lebensmittel. Mit der Einigung sei "die Blockade überwunden", sagte Trittin mit Blick auf die unionsregierten Länder.

Diese haben nach Angaben des bayerischen Umweltministers Werner Schnappauf ihre Bereitschaft zur Zustimmung signalisiert. Nun müsse die Bundesregierung ein Eckpunktepapier vorlegen, sagte Schnappauf. An dem Gespräch nahmen nach Angaben des Bundesministeriums neben Trittin und Schnappauf die Umweltminister Margit Conrad (Rheinland-Pfalz), Bärbel Höhn (Nordrhein-Westfalen) und Ulrich Müller (Baden-Württemberg) teil.

Bundesrat will im April über Novelle beraten
Auch aus den Bundestagsfraktionen kämen positive Signale. Laut Schnappauf will der Bundesrat sich im April mit der Novelle befassen, um die für Verbraucher und Handel unbefriedigende Situation rasch zu beenden. Die Bundesregierung habe «wegen ihrer starren Haltung ohne Not» die Situation verursacht, als sie die umstrittene Novelle zum Januar in Kraft gesetzt habe.

Seit Anfang des Jahres gibt es ein wegen widersprüchlicher Regelungen umstrittenes Pfand auf Einweggetränke-Verpackungen für Bier, Mineralwasser und Fruchtsaftgetränke mit Kohlensäure.

Auch künftig soll der Anteil von Einwegverpackungen erfasst und veröffentlicht werden. Allerdings soll nach der jüngsten Einigung auf die Mehrwegquote als Auslöser für die Pfandpflicht verzichtet werden.

Eine Summe für alle gefordert
Die unionsgeführten Bundesländer hatten vor dem Treffen ein Entgegenkommen Trittins bei der Höhe des Pfands gefordert. Die Union befürwortet ein einheitliches Pfand von 25 Cent. Das höhere Pfand von 50 Cent auf Behälter über 1,5 Liter würde damit wegfallen. Zudem möchte die Opposition mittels einer "Innovationsklausel" die Möglichkeit schaffen, in Zukunft weitere umweltfreundliche Verpackungen vom Pfand auszunehmen.

Bundestag und und Bundesrat könnten die Novelle noch vor der Sommerpause verabschieden. Sie soll jedoch erst zum 1. Oktober in Kraft treten, da Handel und Industrie zu diesem Zeitpunkt ihr Rücknahmesystem aufgebaut haben wollen. Dann können Verbraucher ihr Leergut bundesweit abgeben, unabbhängig davon, wo sie das Getränk gekauft haben.

[conmuchomani]

TOMRA SYSTEMS:

Multex Estimates Konsens: Outperform (1,57),
EPS: 3,10 NOK

Abseits des Zukunftsmarktes ?Neue Energien? verdient Tomra Systems sein Geld. Das in Europa, Amerika und Asien vertretene norwegische Unternehmen wird davon profitieren, dass langfristig Einzelhändler in der gesamten Europäischen Union Getränkedosen und Einwegflaschen gegen Pfand zurücknehmen müssen. Denn Tomra ist der weltgrößte Anbieter von Leergut-Rücknahmeautomaten. Das Unternehmen dürfte im laufenden Geschäftsjahr nicht zuletzt auf Grund der erfolgreichen Einführung von Rücknahmesystemen in Skandinavien und Nordamerika sowie erheblichen Kostensenkungsmaßnahmen den Gewinn pro Aktie auf 3,10 (Vorjahr: 1,44) norwegische Kronen mehr als verdoppeln. Für 2004 erwarten Analysten 3,81 Kronen pro Aktie. Ebenfalls positiv: Tomra verfügt über Barmittel von über einer Milliarde Kronen - umgerechnet mehr als 130 Millionen Euro.

In Deutschland haben die Norweger allerdings gerade einen Dämpfer erhalten: Hier hat man sich trotz des zum Jahresbeginn eingeführten Pfands auf Getränkedosen und Einwegflaschen wegen noch nicht vollständig gelöster Sicherheitsfragen bislang nicht auf eines von vier konkurrierenden Rücknahmesystemen einigen können. Obwohl Tomra - wie auch die anderen Wettbewerber - vorerst aus dem Rennen sind, sehen Analysten dennoch gute Chancen, dass das Unternehmen letztlich doch noch den Zuschlag erhalten wird. Denn nach Einschätzung der Landesbank Rheinland-Pfalz ist das norwegische Technologieunternehmen im Markt für automatische Rücknahmesysteme besser positioniert als seine Konkurrenten. Tomra verfüge über die höchsten Standards bei der Überprüfung zurückgegebener Pfandverpackungen. Die Analysten sind optimistisch, dass das Sicherheitsproblem noch in diesem Jahr gelöst werden kann.

Aufgrund der zuletzt entstandenen Irritationen ist der Kurs der Tomra-Aktie eingebrochen. Dies führte dazu, dass das Papier auf 2003er Gewinnbasis nur noch ein Kurs-Gewinn-Verhältnis von zehn aufweist.

...habe mal einige Fragen gestellt und folgende Antworten von Tomra-IR Mr.Witte erhalten:

Your questions were many and your frustration apparent. Regarding the share price, it has definitely gone down in the past weeks and this, to a great extent, has to do with Germany and the time it has taken to make certain decisions regarding technology solutions for the automated German deposit system, which will be up and running as of October 1, 2003.

TOMRA cannot do not anything about these processes - they must run their course.

But we are involved in the technology discussions currently and are doing our utmost to develop the solution the german retail and beverage industries require. We should know more at the end of March.

Regarding your comment about our shareholder policy, I can only say that we communicate with our shareholders in accordance with the rules of the oslo Stock Exchange.

We recently sent out our quarterly report which gives an update of our various markets as well as what we expect in the short term.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Pfandautomatenfirmen erwarten teils starken Geschäftszuwachs

Mittwoch 2. April 2003, 14:13 Uhr

Research

Berlin, 02. Apr (Reuters) - Nach der Einigung von Handel und Getränkeindustrie auf eine Pfandentwertungstechnik bei Dosen und Einwegflaschen erwarten einige Automatenhersteller nun einen starken Ausbau ihres Geschäfts.
"Wir wollen unseren Anteil am Markt stark ausweiten", sagt ein Sprecher des thüringischen Automatenherstellers Prokent AG am Mittwoch. Derzeit stehen in deutschen Supermärkten rund 900 Mehrweg-Rücknahmeautomaten des Unternehmens. "Die Zahl wollen wir mit Einweg jetzt massiv ausbauen." ANZEIGE

Ein Anteil von mehr als 30 Prozent am Markt sei anvisiert. Ab Ende April, wenn voraussichtlich über eine Clearingstelle für das Einwegpfand entschieden sei, erwarte man erste Aufträge. Dann seien auch Neueinstellungen geplant. Derzeit beschäftigt die Firma rund 80 Mitarbeiter.

Zurückhaltender gibt sich noch der Branchenführer Tomra Systems, der nach eigenen Angaben mit 6500 Pfandautomaten derzeit mehr als 80 Prozent des deutschen Marktes abdeckt. Über Umsatzzuwächse und Auftragsvolumen durch die Einwegverpackungen könne man derzeit keine Prognosen abgeben, sagte ein Unternehmenssprecher. Eine Aufstockung der Produktionskapazitäten sei nicht geplant. Das Unternehmen sei gut gerüstet, da bereits im vergangenen Jahr ein neues Werk in Betrieb genommen worden sei. Unlängst hatte die norwegische Firma ihr Marktpotenzial in Deutschland auf 30.000 bis 40.000 Automaten in den nächsten zwei bis drei Jahren geschätzt.

KEINE FLÄCHENDECKENDE AUTOMATENLIEFERUNGEN BIS HERBST

Mit der Einigung auf eine Sicherheitstechnik zur Entwertung der leeren Einwegflaschen hatten Handel und Getränkeindustrie am Freitag eine wichtige Hürde für den Start des Systems und der Automatenproduktion ausgeräumt. Nun muss noch über die Auftragsvergabe der Clearingstelle entschieden werden, die die Pfandeinnahmen zwischen den Einzelhändlern verrechnen soll.

Der zusätzliche Absatzmarkt für Rücknahmeautomaten in Deutschland wird in der Branche auf 40.000 bis 70.000 geschätzt bei einem Stückpreis zwischen 5000 und 17.000 Euro.

Einig sind sich die Hersteller darin, dass bis zu der am 1. Oktober geplanten bundesweiten Einführung des Pfandsystems keine flächendeckende Automaten-Ausstattung geleistet werden kann. "Es ist unmöglich, 100 Prozent der benötigten Automaten bis zum 1. Oktober zu liefern", heißt es bei Tomra. Realistisch sei, 60 Prozent des Einwegaufkommens bis dahin abzudecken. "Eine Vollabdeckung bis zum Oktober ist illusorisch", sagte auch ein Prokent-Sprecher. Denkbar sei nur eine Grundversorgung an den wichtigsten Stellen, wie etwa Supermärkte mit hohem Dosenaufkommen. Viele kleinere Verkaufsstellen würden jedoch auf absehbare Zeit ohne Pfandautomaten auskommen müssen.

Tomra - Danske gjentar kjøp, tross estimatkutt
OSLO, 3 april (Reuters) - I en oppdatering fra 3. april viderefører Danske Equities sin kjøpsanbefaling på Tomra .

Meglerhuset begrunner anbefalingen med at valget av lakkmerking gir grunn til å tro at et nasjonalt bokspantsystem vil fungere fra 1. oktober.

Danske Equities mener dette bidrar til å redusere risikoen i inntjeningsestimatene på Tomra og meglerhuset beholder derfor en kjøpsanbefaling, på tross av at estimatene kuttes.

EPS for 2003 anslås nå til 1,97 kroner, mot tidligere anslag på 2,26 kroner. For 2004 estimeres EPS til 2,42 kroner, mot tidligere 2,46 kroner.

die haben scheinbar immernochnicht aufgegeben!

Umweltministerium: Dosenpfand bleibt

Führende Lebensmittelkonzerne und Teile der Getränkeindustrie bedrängen die Bundesregierung weiter, das zu Jahresbeginn eingeführte Zwangspfand auf Dosen wieder abzuschaffen. Der neue Vorschlag: Statt Dosenpfand sollte auf ökologisch schädliche Wegwerfverpackungen eine Steuer erhoben werden - von 10 bis 15 Cent pro Liter. Dies wollten die Dosenpfand-Gegner unter Führung von Industrieverbands-Chef Michael Rogowski bei einem Spitzentreffen mit Umweltminister Jürgen Trittin (Grüne) besprechen, berichtet das Nachrichtenmagazin "Der Spiegel".

"Für uns steht die Pfandpflicht nicht zur Debatte", betonte jedoch Bundesumweltministeriums-Sprecher Michael Schroeren. Eine Dosen-Steuer sei unseriös und würde nicht die Wirtschaft als Verursacher der Dosenflut betreffen, sondern die Verbraucher.

Das für Montag geplante Treffen zwischen Umweltminister Trittin und Branchenvertretern sei ein Gedankenaustausch, bei dem der Stand der Vorbereitung für die Einführung eines bundesweiten Rücknahme-Systems für Getränke-Einwegverpackungen besprochen werden soll. Das Rücknahmesystem soll am 1. Oktober starten. Eine Verlängerung der Frist sei nicht geplant, sagte der Sprecher. Bislang müssen Käufer von pfandpflichtigen Einwegflaschen und Getränkedosen diese wieder dorthin zurückbringen, wo sie gekauft wurden.

[diaboloplayer]

Neuer Dosenpfand-Streit zwischen Trittin und Industrie

Berlin (Reuters) - Das geplante einheitliche Pfandsystem für Einweggetränke hat einen neuen Streit zwischen Umweltministerium, Handel und Getränkeindustrie entfacht.


Der Präsident des Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie (BDI), Michael Rogowski, forderte in einem Gespräch mit Umweltminister Jürgen Trittin (Grüne) am Montag in Berlin, das Dosenpfand auszusetzen und stattdessen einen Branchenfonds für Umweltprojekte einzurichten. Rogowski machte das Dosenpfand erneut für die Umsatzrückgänge und Arbeitsplatzverluste in der Einwegbranche und im Handel verantwortlich. Trittin lehnte den Vorschlag ab: "Wir können an dieser Stelle in aller Deutlichkeit sagen, dass an ein Aussetzen nicht gedacht wird", sagte der Minister nach dem Gespräch, aus dem er sichtlich verärgert herausgegangen war.


Auch Handel und Getränkeindustrie sind sich in ihrer Haltung uneins. Der Hauptverband des Deutschen Einzelhandels (HDE) bekräftigte seine Forderung nach einer Abgabe auf Einweggetränke und bezeichnete den Fonds-Vorschlag des BDI als wenig sinnvoll. Der BDI indes lehnt die Forderung des Handels nach einer Abgabe ab. Die Aktien des Marktführers für Rücknahmeautomaten, Tomra Systems (Oslo: TOM.OL - Nachrichten) , lagen am Montagnachmittag mit 34,40 Kronen mehr als drei Prozent im Minus.


TRITTIN: INDUSTRIE MUSS ZUSAGEN EINHALTEN


Handel und Getränkeindustrie hatten sich Ende 2002 dazu verpflichtet, das bundesweit einheitliche Rücknahmesystem für Dosen und Einwegflaschen zum 1. Oktober 2003 einzuführen. Bislang wird das Einwegpfand nur in dem Laden oder der Filiale erstattet, wo das Getränk gekauft wurde. Die Nachfrage nach Einweg-Bier und -Kohlesäuregetränken ist in den letzten Monaten spürbar zurück gegangen.


Trittin betonte, die Industrie habe sich verpflichtet, das einheitliche Rücknahmesystem für Einweggetränke bis Anfang Oktober umzusetzen. "Wir erwarten von der Industrie, dass sie das, was sie zugesagt hat (...) dann auch tatsächlich einhält." Er bekräftigte, das System sei der einzige Weg, um Firmen Investitionssicherheit und Verbrauchern Klarheit zu verschaffen.


BDI: PFLICHTPFAND DURCH FREIWILLIGEN FONDS ERSETZEN


Rogowski hielt dagegen, die betroffenen Industriezweige müssten in den nächsten Monaten weitere Einbußen befürchten. Insgesamt drohe die Schließung von 2000 Unternehmen, vor allem von Kiosken, und der Verlust von 10.000 Arbeitsplätzen. Die Pfandpflicht erfordere Investitionskosten in Milliardenhöhe.


Eine BDI-Sprecherin sagte, angesichts dieser Situation solle das Einwegpfand durch einen Branchenfonds ersetzt werden, aus dem Umweltprojekte finanziert würden. Sie betonte zugleich, die Getränkeindustie wolle weiter daran festhalten, das Pfandsystems fristgerecht einzuführen.


HDE-Sprecher Hubertus Pellengahr sagte, der BDI-Vorschlag eines freiwilligen Fonds mache keinen Sinn, da er schon einmal von Trittin abgelehnt worden sei. Der Handel favorisiere dagegen eine Abgabe auf Getränkeverpackungen in Höhe von fünf bis 15 Cent je nach Größe der Verpackung. Auch diesen Vorschlag hatte das Umweltministerium bereits zurückgewiesen.


Pellengahr sagte weiter, der Handel sehe Schwierigkeiten, bis Oktober ein flächendeckendes Rücknahmesystem einzuführen. Es gebe derzeit technische Probleme bei der Entwicklung der Automaten, etwa bei der Erkennung von Kunststoffbechern und der Sicherheitskennzeichnung und Entwertung der Einwegverpackungen. Der Freistellungsantrag von Handel und Getränkeindustrie für die Clearingstelle zur Verrechnung der Pfandbeträge werde Anfang Juni beim Bundeskartellamt eingereicht.
