English: Another question is whether the exemption of HFF from the guarantee premium introduced in 1998 would be new aid.

English: Such an interpretation, which does not correspond to either the letter or the purpose of Article 93(3), nor to the division of responsibility between the Commission and the Member States for which it provides, would give rise to legal uncertainty for undertakings and Member States, which would thus be obliged to notify in advance widely differing measures, which could not then be put into effect despite doubts as to whether they could be classified as new aid.

English: With regard to entitlement to social assistance, Article 64 of the Act stated that the right to loans for private owned social housing was limited to those who fulfilled the following conditions: ‘(a)
Spanish: Por lo que se refiere al derecho a la asistencia social, el artículo 64 de la Ley disponía que para tener derecho a un préstamo para la adquisición a título privado de una vivienda social había que cumplir las siguientes condiciones:«a)

French: Les dispositions actuelles sur la construction d'appartements locatifs demeureront inchangées, mais il est proposé d'abolir les articles relatifs à la location-achat.
Spanish: Aunque seguirán en vigor las actuales disposiciones relativas a la construcción de viviendas de alquiler, se propone suprimir los artículos relativos al arrendamiento financiero.
Italian: Le attuali disposizioni sulla costruzione di appartamenti destinati alla locazione rimarranno in vigore ma si propone di abolire gli articoli sull’affitto con opzione di acquisto.
English: First, they concern social assistance. Second, the participation of municipalities in such assistance and third changes concerning the organisational set-up of housing affairs.’
French: À d'autres égards, les principaux changements du projet de loi se résument en trois points: l’assistance sociale, la participation des communes à cette assistance et les changements relatifs à l’organisation du système de logement.»
Spanish: A otros efectos, los principales cambios del proyecto pueden resumirse en tres puntos: asistencia social, participación de los municipios y modificaciones relativas a la estructura del sistema de vivienda.»

English: Article 15 of the Housing Act laid down the three categories of loans extended by the Housing Financing Fund [14]. The categories were:
French: L'article 15 de la loi sur le logement prévoyait l’octroi de trois types de prêts par le fonds de financement du logement [14].
Spanish: El artículo 15 de la Ley de la vivienda estableció las tres categorías de préstamos que concede el Fondo para la Financiación de la Vivienda [14].
Italian: A norma dell’articolo 15 della legge in materia di alloggi, il fondo per il finanziamento degli alloggi poteva accordare le tre seguenti tipologie di prestiti [14]:
English: In order to administer general loans, the Housing Financing Fund was to operate a Housing Bonds Division, as previously operated by the State Housing Agency, whose finances were to be kept separate from other activities of the Fund’s operation (cf. Article 17 of the Housing Act) [15]. The Housing Bond Division was to:
French: Aux fins de gérer les prêts généraux, le fonds de financement du logement devait administrer, à l’instar de l'ancien office national du logement, un département des obligations-logement dont les moyens financiers ne devaient pas être mêlés aux autres activités du fonds (article 17 de la loi sur le logement) [15].Le département des obligations-logement était chargé:
Spanish: Para gestionar los préstamos generales, el Fondo de Financiación de la Vivienda se dotó, siguiendo las pautas de funcionamiento de la antigua Agencia Estatal de la Vivienda, de una división de bonos de vivienda, cuyos medios financieros debían ser distintos de los de las demás actividades del Fondo (artículo 17 de la Ley de la vivienda [15].La misión de la división de bonos de vivienda era la siguiente:
Portuguese: A fim de administrar os empréstimos gerais, o Fundo de Financiamento à Habitação devia gerir uma Divisão de Títulos de Habitação, tal como o fazia anteriormente a Agência Estatal de Habitação, cujas finanças deviam ser independentes das outras actividades do Fundo, cf. artigo 17.o da Lei da habitação [15].A Divisão de Títulos de Habitação devia:
English: In Article 4 it was stated that the municipalities were permitted to create further guidelines for the housing committees to take into consideration. These issues could include current housing situations; the state and type of current housing and family size and health [20].
Spanish: En el artículo 4 se especificaba que los municipios podían establecer otros criterios que los comités de vivienda debían tomar en consideración, como la situación, el estado y el tipo de la vivienda anterior y el número de miembros y la situación sanitaria de la familia [20].
English: In contrast, if the instruments in question do not constitute new aid, the Authority cannot under the present procedure make a binding assessment as to whether they instead constitute existing aid within Article 61(1) EEA. Nor can the Authority make a binding assessment as to whether such existing aid measures would be compatible with the Agreement.
Spanish: En cambio, si los instrumentos en cuestión no constituyen una ayuda nueva, el Órgano de Vigilancia no puede, en el marco del presente procedimiento, hacer una apreciación jurídicamente vinculante acerca de si constituyen una ayuda existente a efectos del artículo 61, apartado 1, del Acuerdo EEE, ni de si tales medidas de ayuda existente son compatibles con el Acuerdo.
Italian: Al contrario, se gli strumenti in questione non costituiscono un aiuto nuovo, l’Autorità non può, nell’ambito dello stesso procedimento, valutare in maniera definitiva e vincolante se essi costituiscono invece un aiuto esistente ai sensi dell’articolo 61, paragrafo 1, del SEE, né può esprimere una conclusione vincolante circa la loro compatibilità con l’accordo.
English: The original scheme can therefore not, regardless of any advantage connected to it, be classified as new aid [43]. Moreover, none of the changes to the operation of HFF described above in Section I.2 implied any such change.
French: Quel que soit l’avantage pouvant en résulter, le régime initial ne peut donc pas être qualifié d’aide nouvelle [43].En outre, aucune des modifications apportées au fonctionnement du HFF, décrites à la section I.2 ci-dessus, n’a impliqué un tel changement.
Spanish: Por tanto, el régimen original no puede calificarse como ayuda nueva, con independencia de las ventajas que puedan derivarse de él [43].Es más, ninguno de los cambios en el funcionamiento del HFF que se han descrito en la sección I.2 supuso un cambio de esta índole.
Portuguese: O regime inicial não pode, por conseguinte, independentemente de qualquer vantagem que lhe esteja associada, ser qualificado como auxílio novo [43].Além disso, nenhuma das alterações ao funcionamento do FFH acima descritas no ponto 2 da Secção I implicaram qualquer alteração dessa natureza.
English: As outlined above, the Housing Act abolished both the State Building Fund and the Workers’ Housing Fund. The funds were to be merged and abolished as of the entry into force of the Act.
Italian: Come sopra illustrato, la legge in materia di alloggi ha soppresso sia il fondo statale per l’edilizia residenziale sia il fondo per gli alloggi sociali, che sono stati fusi e aboliti con l’entrata in vigore della legge.
Estonian: Nagu eespool nimetatud, lõpetas eluasemeseadus nii riikliku ehitusfondi kui ka töötajate eluasemefondi tegevuse.
English: THE DIFFERENT PROCEDURES FOR NEW AND EXISTING AID The procedure for new aid is laid down in Article 1(3) in Part I of Protocol 3 SCA (corresponding to Article 88(3) EC).

English: Several other amendments were made by Act No 57/2004. They were mostly related to issues, which can be termed as technical changes connected with the abolition of the bond swap system (cf. Articles 9 to 20 of the amending Act). This Act did not change anything regarding the substance of the general loans or who was eligible to receive them.
Finnish: Lailla nro 57/2004 ei tehty muutoksia yleisten lainojen sisältöön eikä siihen, kenellä oli oikeus saada niitä.
English: On 11 August 2004, the Authority adopted Decision No 213/04/COL. In this Decision the Authority found, without initiating the formal investigation procedure, that the Icelandic legislation pertaining to HFF entailed aid to HFF, but that this aid was compatible with the state aid rules read in conjunction with Article 59(2) of the EEA Agreement.
French: Le 11 août 2004, l'Autorité a adopté la décision no 213/04/COL, dans laquelle elle a estimé, sans ouvrir la procédure formelle d'examen, que la législation islandaise se rapportant au HFF comprenait une aide à ce dernier, mais que cette aide était compatible avec les règles relatives aux aides d'État en liaison avec l'article 59, paragraphe 2, de l'accord EEE.
Italian: In data 11 agosto 2004 l’Autorità ha adottato la decisione n. 213/04/COL, nella quale concludeva, senza avviare il procedimento di indagine formale, che la normativa islandese applicabile all’HFF prevedeva aiuti a favore del fondo, ritenuti però compatibili con le norme sugli aiuti di Stato in combinato disposto con l’articolo 59, paragrafo 2, dell’accordo SEE.
Portuguese: Em 11 de Agosto de 2004, o Órgão de Fiscalização adoptou a Decisão n.o 213/04/COL em que considerou, sem dar início ao procedimento formal de investigação, que a legislação islandesa relativa ao FFH implicava um auxílio a este fundo, mas que este auxílio era compatível com as regras em matéria de auxílios estatais, consideradas em articulação com o n.o 2 do artigo 59.o do Acordo EEE.
English: The Minister of Social Affairs was permitted to issue a regulation to decide in greater detail on the structure of the Agency (cf. Article 3 of the Act). The Minister was also given authorisation to merge the overall management, operations and human resources of two or more divisions, departments and funds provided for in the Act.
French: Le ministre des affaires sociales était autorisé à prendre un règlement visant à préciser la structure de l'office (article 3), ainsi qu’à fusionner l’ensemble de la direction, des activités et des ressources humaines de deux (ou davantage) divisions, départements et fonds prévus dans la loi.
Italian: Il ministro degli Affari sociali aveva la facoltà di adottare un regolamento per definire nel dettaglio la struttura dell’agenzia (cfr. articolo 3 della legge) ed era inoltre autorizzato a concentrare la gestione complessiva, le attività e le risorse umane di due o più servizi, dipartimenti e fondi che la legge prevedeva.
English: The role and task of the State Building Fund was laid down in Article 8 of Act No 97/1993. According to that provision, the Fund was to engage in lending activities and housing bond transactions in accordance with the provisions of the Act and regulations set pursuant to the Act.
French: Le rôle et la mission du fonds national de la construction étaient prévus à l'article 8 de la loi no 97/1993, selon lequel le fonds devait mener des activités de prêt et des transactions sur les obligations-logement conformément à la loi et à ses règlements d’application.
Italian: Il ruolo e la funzione del fondo statale per l’edilizia residenziale erano definiti nell’articolo 8 della legge n. 97/1993 che prevedeva che il fondo dovesse occuparsi di operazioni di prestito e di transazioni dei cosiddetti housing bond (obbligazioni garantite da ipoteche su immobili residenziali), conformemente alle disposizioni della legge e ai regolamenti adottati in base ad essa.
Lithuanian: Valstybės statybų fondo vaidmuo ir užduotis išdėstyta Įstatymo Nr. 97/1993 8 straipsnyje, pagal kurį fondas turėjo teikti paskolas ir sudaryti būsto obligacijų sandorius, vykdydamas įstatymo nuostatas ir laikydamasis įstatymo įgyvendinamuosiuose aktuose nustatytos tvarkos.
English: The Housing Act continued the system with general housing loans that had been introduced by the housing bonds system in 1989 and also applied under Act No 97/1993. The new act did not introduce changes regarding this loan category.
French: La loi sur le logement a maintenu le système des prêts généraux au logement, introduit en 1989 par le système des obligations-logement et repris par la loi no 97/1993, sans rien changé à ce type de prêts.

French: La loi no 57/2004 a apporté plusieurs autres modifications relatives, pour la plupart, à des questions pouvant être qualifiées d’aménagements techniques liés à la suppression du système d’échange d’obligations (articles 9 à 20).
Italian: La legge n. 57/2004 ha introdotto numerosi altri emendamenti, per la maggior parte attinenti ad aspetti che possono essere definiti cambiamenti tecnici connessi all’abolizione del sistema per lo swap dei titoli (articoli da 9 a 20 delle legge di modifica).
Portuguese: Diversas outras alterações foram introduzidas pela Lei n.o 57/2004, relativas na sua maioria a questões que podem ser consideradas alterações técnicas motivadas pela abolição do regime de troca de títulos, cf. artigos 9.o a 20.o da Lei de alteração.

English: However, it found that the question raised such doubts that it was useful to assess the question under the formal investigation procedure. This assessment has led the Authority to confirm its preliminary opinion for the following reasons:
French: Toutefois, cette exemption suscitant certaines interrogations, elle a jugé opportun de l'examiner de plus près dans le cadre d'une procédure formelle d’examen à l’issue de laquelle elle a confirmé sa conclusion préliminaire, pour les raisons suivantes:
English: The decision of the EEA Joint Committee included the ‘Byggingarsjóðir ríkisins’, in that list. That term was traditionally used for the funds which have now been taken over by the HFF.
French: Les «Byggingarsjóðir ríkisins» — termes qui désignaient autrefois les fonds appartenant maintenant au HFF — en font partie, en vertu de la décision du Comité mixte de l’EEE.
Italian: La decisione del Comitato misto SEE ha incluso in tale elenco il «Byggingarsjóðir ríkisins», denominazione tradizionalmente usata per i fondi che sono stati adesso rilevati dall’HFF.
English: The procedure for existing aid is different from that pertaining to new aid and is laid down in Article 1(1) in Part I of Protocol 3 SCA. Pursuant to that provision, the Authority shall, in cooperation with the EFTA States, keep under constant review all systems of aid existing in those States.
French: La procédure applicable à une aide existante, qui est différente de celle applicable à une aide nouvelle, est prévue à l’article 1er, paragraphe 1, de la partie I du protocole 3 de l'accord Surveillance et Cour de justice, selon lequel l’Autorité procède avec les États de l’AELE à l'examen permanent des régimes d'aides existant dans ces États.
English: Indeed, the Housing Act did not bring about any change in the purpose and nature of the tax exemption. Nor did it alter the source of financing or the legal basis for the tax exemption.
French: En effet, la loi sur le logement n’a entraîné aucun changement sur l’objectif et la nature de l’exonération fiscale, pas plus qu’elle n’en a modifié la source de financement ou le fondement juridique.
Italian: Infatti, la legge in materia di alloggi non ha affatto mutato l’obiettivo e la natura dell’esenzione fiscale, e nemmeno ne ha alterato le fonti di finanziamento o la base giuridica.
English: The State Building Fund and the Workers’ Housing Fund will be merged into the Housing Financing Fund and the assets of the State Housing Agency will also become part of the Fund. […]

English: In its decision in the German public service broadcasting case, the Commission concluded that increases in the level of the licence fee should not be regarded as new aid: ‘The increase is rather the consequence of an increased financial need of public service broadcasters in fulfilling their public service mission. It is therefore — and in line with previous Commission practice — not severable from the initial funding regime and does not constitute a substantive amendment provided that the public service mission as such has not substantively been changed.’ Commission Decision of 24 April 2007, cited above, paragraph 206.

English: At the time of the entry into force of the EEA Agreement on 1 January 1994, the State Housing Agency was governed by Act No 97/1993 (lög nr. 97/1993, um Húsnæðisstofnun ríkisins). This Act was in fact a consolidated version of Act No 86/1988 of the same name which had been subject to numerous amendments [10].According to Article 1 of the Act No 97/1993, its purpose was to promote the security of Icelanders as regards housing, through the granting of loans and through the organisation of matters relating to housing and housing construction.
Italian: Al momento dell’entrata in vigore dell’accordo SEE il 1o gennaio 1994, l’agenzia statale per gli alloggi era disciplinata dalla legge n. 97/1993 (lög nr. 97/1993, um Húsnæðisstofnun ríkisins), che era di fatto la versione consolidata della legge n. 86/1988, dallo stesso titolo, modificata da numerosi emendamenti [10].Come stabilito dal suo articolo 1, la legge n. 97/1993 aveva l’obiettivo di migliorare la sicurezza degli islandesi per quanto riguarda l’alloggio, mediante la concessione di prestiti e l’organizzazione della disciplina concernente gli alloggi e la costruzione edilizia.
English: All loans from the State Building Fund were to be fully indexed (cf. Article 16 of the Act). Each loan should be secured by a first- or second-rank mortgage in the housing for which the loan had been granted.
Italian: Tutti i prestiti concessi dal fondo statale per l’edilizia residenziale dovevano essere completamente indicizzati (articolo 16 della legge) e garantiti da un’ipoteca di primo o secondo grado sull’abitazione per la quale il prestito era stato concesso.
