English: PPAs fixed the volume of electricity to be purchased by PSE and the purchase price for the electricity over the period in question. In the case of certain items at least, prices were calculated in such a way that they could not exceed a level previously agreed between the parties or fluctuations would be limited to a reasonable amount as compared to specified market prices, i.e. the most objective standard possible. Actual prices were sometimes even lower, in particular because the Polish regulator kept indirect control over them. As such, the state's maximum exposure was also clearly determined by the PPAs prior to accession. Existing aid
Latvian: EPL noteica elektroenerģijas apjomu, kas PSE jānopērk, un elektroenerģijas iepirkuma cenu attiecīgajā laikposmā.
English: Services of general economic interest (86) The interested parties argue that the power generators that are parties to the PPAs provide services of general economic interest (SGEIs).
Latvian: Pakalpojumi ar vispārēju tautsaimniecisku nozīmi(86) Ieinteresētās puses apgalvo, ka elektroenerģijas ražotāji, kas ir EPL līgumslēdzējas puses, sniedz pakalpojumus ar vispārēju tautsaimniecisku nozīmi (PVTN).
English: In short, in view of the very limited number of interconnections between Poland's electricity network and other electricity networks in the European Union, the aid could not affect the development of trade between Member States to an extent contrary to the common interest. Selectivity
Latvian: Īsāk sakot, ņemot vērā ļoti ierobežoto starpsavienojumu skaitu starp Polijas elektroenerģijas tīklu un citiem elektroenerģijas tīkliem Eiropas Savienībā, atbalsts nevar ietekmēt tirdzniecības attīstību starp dalībvalstīm tādā mērā, kas būtu pretrunā kopējām interesēm.
English: Distortion of competition and impact on trade between Member States (99) The interested parties argue that the Commission should have examined whether the PPAs distorted competition or affected trade between Member States at the time when they were concluded.
Latvian: Konkurences kropļošana un ietekme uz tirdzniecību starp dalībvalstīm(99) Ieinteresētās puses apgalvo, ka Komisijai bija jāizskata tas, vai EPL izkropļoja konkurenci vai ietekmēja tirdzniecību starp dalībvalstīm laikā, kad tos noslēdza.
English: Compatibility within the meaning of Article 87(3)(a) of the EC Treaty (102) The interested parties argue that, if the PPAs were state aid, they could be declared compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 87(3)(a) of the EC Treaty.
Latvian: Saderība ar EK līguma 87. panta 3. punkta a) apakšpunktu(102) Ieinteresētās puses apgalvo, ka, ja EPL bija valsts atbalsts, tos varētu atzīt par saderīgiem ar kopējo tirgu saskaņā ar EK līguma 87. panta 3. punkta a) apakšpunktu.
English: Compatibility within the meaning of Article 87(3)(b) of the EC Treaty (105) The interested parties argue that, if the PPAs were state aid, they could be declared compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 87(3)(b) of the EC Treaty.
Latvian: Saderība ar EK līguma 87. panta 3. punkta b) apakšpunktu(105) Ieinteresētās puses apgalvo, ka, ja EPL bija valsts atbalsts, tos varētu atzīt par saderīgiem ar kopējo tirgu saskaņā ar EK līguma 87. panta 3. punkta b) apakšpunktu.
English: Compatibility within the meaning of Article 87(3)(c of the EC Treaty) (107) The interested parties argue that, if the PPAs were state aid, they could be declared compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty.
Latvian: Saderība ar EK līguma 87. panta 3. punkta c) apakšpunktu(107) Ieinteresētās puses apgalvo, ka, ja EPL bija valsts atbalsts, tos varētu atzīt par saderīgiem ar kopējo tirgu saskaņā ar EK līguma 87. panta 3. punkta c) apakšpunktu.
English: The interested parties also argue that the PPAs should have been analysed in the light of the Community guidelines on state aid for environmental protection, bearing in mind the fact that PPAs were specifically designed to bring power generators in Poland into line with the requirements of Directive 2001/80/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2001 on the limitation of emissions of certain pollutants into the air from large combustion plants. The PPAs should have been examined under the interim mechanism referred to in the Accession Treaty
Latvian: Ieinteresētās puses arī apgalvo, ka EPL nebija jāanalizē, ņemot vērā Kopienas pamatnostādnes par valsts atbalstu vides aizsardzībai, paturot prātā to, ka EPL bija īpaši izstrādāti, lai panāktu Polijas elektroenerģijas ražotāju atbilstību Eiropas Parlamenta un Padomes 2001. gada 23. oktobra Direktīvai 2001/80/EK par ierobežojumiem attiecībā uz dažu piesārņojošo vielu emisiju gaisā no lielām sadedzināšanas iekārtām.

English: Under the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities (Court of Justice), when a state owned company uses its funds in a way that can be deemed to constitute state action, then these funds should be regarded as state resources within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty. (51) The Commission therefore concluded that the PPAs probably constituted state aid to the power generators within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Maltese: Il-Kummissjoni għalhekk ikkonkludiet li l-PPAs x'aktarx kienu jikkostitwixxu għajnuna mill-istat lill-ġeneraturi tal-enerġija fis-sens tal-Artikolu 87(1) tat-Trattat KE.
English: Energy sold under PPAs cannot be compared with energy sold outside PPAs, even in Poland. The former respect modern environmental standards, while the latter is produced by less environmentally friendly units, which ‘dump’ their surplus capacity at marginal costs, under various mechanisms, none of which ensures prices that cover both fixed and variable costs.
Maltese: L-enerġija mibjugħa taħt il-PPAs ma tistax tkun imqabbla mal-enerġija mibjugħa barra mill-PPAs, ukoll fil-Polonja. tal-ewwel tirrispetta l-istandards ambjentali moderni, filwaqt li tal-aħħar hija prodotta minn unitajiet li inqas iħarsu l-ambjent, li “jwettqu dumping” tal-kapaċità żejda tagħhom bi spejjeż marġinali, taħt bosta mekkaniżmi, li l-ebda minnhom ma jiżgura prezzijiet li jkopru kemm spejjeż fissi kif ukoll dawk varjabbli.
English: Should it be concluded, however, that the PPAs did not constitute state aid when they were signed, the Commission is of the view that they became state aid at the time of accession — at the latest on the date of accession of Poland to the EU (point 7.1.2 below). On the basis of the Accession Treaty and in accordance with Article 1(b)(v) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, the Commission would conclude that the measure constitutes new aid as of 1 May 2004 and its compatibility with the state aid rules is to be assessed as of that date (point 7.1.2 below).
Maltese: Fuq il-bażi tat-Trattat tal-Adeżjoni u skont il-Artikolu 1(b)(v) tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 659/1999, il-Kummissjoni għandha tikkonkludi li l-miżura tikkostitwixxi għajnuna mill-istat ġdida sa mill-1 ta' Mejju 2004 u l-kompatibbiltà tagħha mas-suq komuni għandha tiġi evalwata minn dik id-data (il-punt 7.1.2 hawn taħt).
English: The Act provides for a system of future compensation, but when maximum amounts of compensation are calculated, amounts of aid received by power generators in the past is also taken into account. According to Annex 2 to the Act, the maximum amount of compensation is the amount following deduction of the revenue generated by the assets in the past and which is available to cover investment costs.
Maltese: L-Att jipprovdi għal sistema ta' kumpens futur, iżda meta l-ammonti massimi tal-kumpens jiġu kkalkolati, l-ammonti ta' għajnuna li jirċievu l-ġeneraturi tal-enerġija huwa l-ammont wara li jitnaqqas id-dħul iġġenerat mill-assi fl-imgħoddi u li huwa disponibbli biex jiġu koperti l-ispejjeż tal-investiment.
English: aid measures which were included in the list of existing state aid measures attached to the Accession Treaty. Neither the scheme covering PPAs nor any of the individual PPAs were notified to the Commission with a view to inclusion in the list of existing aid schemes annexed to the Accession Treaty and nor were they included in the Appendix to Annex IV of the Accession Treaty referred to in point 1(b), Chapter 3, Annex IV, which contains a list of existing aid measures; as such, they do not constitute existing aid within the meaning of Article 88(1) of the EC Treaty.
Polish: środki pomocy, które zostały ujęte w wykazie istniejących środków pomocy załączonym do Traktatu o przystąpieniu.
Romanian: măsurile de ajutor de stat care au fost incluse în lista măsurile de ajutor de stat existente anexate la Tratatul de aderare.
English: The interested parties have invoked the application of the Regional Guidelines and of the Environmental Guidelines. (314) Recitals 300 to 304 indicate the reasons why the aid cannot be deemed compatible with the common market in application of the Regional Guidelines.
Polish: Zainteresowane strony wspomniały o zastosowaniu Wytycznych regionalnych i Wytycznych dotyczących pomocy państwa na rzecz ochrony środowiska naturalnego („Wytyczne dotyczące ochrony środowiska”).
English: Operating aid is limited to specific objectives. The first is aid for the management of waste and for energy saving (section E.3,1), which is limited to a maximum duration of 5 years.
Polish: W odniesieniu do Wytycznych dotyczących ochrony środowiska Komisja zwraca uwagę na fakt, że podobnie jak w przypadku Wytycznych regionalnych zezwalają one przede wszystkim na pomoc inwestycyjną.
English: In accordance with point 3.11 of the Stranded Costs Methodology, compensation has been calculated on the basis of the least expensive solution for the state. For assets the construction of which started before Poland joined the European Union but which were not completed by accession, Poland has demonstrated that the maximum compensation was calculated on the basis of the cheapest of the two possible scenarios: completing construction and operating the new assets to generate revenue, or halting construction work.
Polish: Zgodnie z pkt 3.11 metodologii kosztów osieroconych rekompensaty zostały obliczone przy uwzględnieniu rozwiązania najmniej obciążającego pod względem gospodarczym dla państwa W odniesieniu do aktywów, których budowa została rozpoczęta przed przystąpieniem Polski do UE, lecz nie została zakończona do daty przystąpienia, Polska wykazała, że kwotę maksymalnych rekompensat obliczono na podstawie tańszego z dwóch ewentualnych scenariuszy: zakończenie budowy i eksploatacja nowych aktywów w celu uzyskania dochodów, albo wstrzymanie prac budowlanych.
English: In accordance with point 3.12 of the Stranded Costs Methodology, the payment period for compensation extends until 2027. Point 3.12 of the Stranded Costs Communication states that ‘costs which some undertakings may have to bear after the time horizon indicated in Article 26 of the Directive (18 February 2006) cannot, as a rule, constitute eligible stranded costs within the meaning of this methodology.’
Polish: Zgodnie z pkt 3.12 metodologii kosztów osieroconych okres płatności rekompensat rozciąga się aż do 2027 r. W pkt 3.12 metodologii kosztów osieroconych stwierdzono, że „koszty, jakie niektóre przedsiębiorstwa mogą być zmuszone do ponoszenia w ramach czasowych wskazanych w art. 26 dyrektywy (18 lutego 2006 r.) nie mogą, jako zasada, stanowić kwalifikowanych kosztów osieroconych w rozumieniu niniejszej metodologii”.
English: The Polish situation is significantly different from the system examined by the Court in the aforementioned ruling. In particular, the difference lies in the ownership structure of the companies to which the obligation to purchase the electricity applies.
Portuguese: A situação polaca é significativamente diferente do sistema examinado pelo Tribunal de Justiça na decisão supramencionada, sobretudo devido à diferença na estrutura de propriedade das empresas às quais se aplica a obrigação de adquirir a electricidade.
English: Zespół Elektrowni Pątnów-Adamów-Konin Pątnów II
Romanian: Zespół Elektrowni Pątnów-Adamów-Konin Pątnów II
English: The Commission also expressed the view that this advantage entailed the use of state resources, because the decision to sign the PPAs was a consequence of state policy implemented via the network operator PSE, which was fully state-owned. Under the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities (Court of Justice), when a state owned company uses its funds in a way that can be deemed to constitute state action, then these funds should be regarded as state resources within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Romanian: Comisia și-a exprimat de asemenea opinia că această poziție privilegiată implica folosirea rezervelor statului, deoarece decizia de semnare a CCEE a reprezentat o consecință a politicii de stat implementate prin intermediul operatorul de rețea PSE deținut în totalitate de stat În conformitate cu jurisprudența Curții de Justiție a Comunităților Europene (denumită în continuare „Curtea de Justiție”) în cazul în care o societate de stat își folosește fondurile într-un mod care poate fi considerat acțiune a statului, aceste mijloace trebuie recunoscute ca rezerve ale statului în conformitate cu articolul 87 alineatul (1) Tratatul CE.
English: Pątnów II
Romanian: Pątnów II
English: The aid cannot be regarded as investment aid. Investment aid is defined using a list of potential eligible costs which are indicated in points 4.5 and 4.6 of the Regional Guidelines. Payments under the PPAs clearly cover other costs as well. The most striking example is that PPAs guarantee the fuel costs associated with operating the power plants. Staff costs are also covered by the PPAs. Clearly, these costs are not eligible for investment aid.
Romanian: Ajutorul nu poate fi considerat un ajutor pentru investiții.
English: While drafting the Act within the framework of its national legislative process, Poland consulted all the interested parties on technical matters linked to the voluntary termination of the PPAs. As a result, the deadline laid down in the Act for concluding termination agreements for the PPAs is 150 days as of the entry into force of the Act, i.e. 1 January 2008.
Romanian: În timpul pregătirii Legii în cadrul procedurii legislative naționale, Polonia s-a consultat cu toate părțile interesate cu privire la chestiunile tehnice legate de rezilierea voluntară CCEE. legea prevede că termenul pentru încheierea contractelor cu privire la rezilierea CCEE este de 150 de zile de la data intrării în vigoare a Legii, adică 1 ianuarie 2008.
English: The interested parties also take the view that the Commission should recognise the existence of exceptional circumstances that could result in the operating aid being authorised in this case. Due consideration should be given to the state of the Polish electricity sector in the 1990s.
Slovak: Zainteresované strany sa taktiež domnievajú, že Komisia by mala uznať existenciu výnimočných okolností, ktoré môžu viesť k schváleniu prevádzkovej pomoci v danom prípade.
English: The interested parties also argue that the Bill can be regarded as compatible with the EC Treaty in the light of Articles 87(3)(a)-(c) and 86(2). In this respect, the interested parties are invoking the same arguments as the ones used when discussing the compatibility of PPAs with these Treaty provisions.
Slovak: Zainteresované strany ďalej uvádzajú, že návrh zákona možno považovať za zlučiteľný so Zmluvou o ES v zmysle článku 87 ods. 3 písm. a) až c) a článku 86 ods. 2 V tejto súvislosti zainteresované strany uvádzajú rovnaké argumenty, aké boli použité pri odôvodnení zlučiteľnosti DZ s danými ustanoveniami Zmluvy.
English: The Commission notes that the form of aid (private-law contract as in the case of the PPAs) is not relevant from the state aid viewpoint; only the effect of the measure is relevant to the Commission's analysis. The Commission therefore found no valid arguments in the interested parties' comments to explain why this procedure is incompatible with the principles of legal certainty or legitimate expectations.
Slovak: Komisia upozorňuje, že z hľadiska štátnej pomoci nemá forma pomoci (zmluva podľa súkromného práva ako v prípade DZ) žiaden význam, keďže pre posúdenie zo strany Komisie má význam iba účinok daného opatrenia.. Komisia teda v pripomienkach zainteresovaných strán nenašla žiadne platné argumenty, prečo by súčasné konanie narúšalo zásady právnej istoty a oprávnených očakávaní.
English: In the case at issue, the purpose of the competitive procedure was to serve policy objectives such as promotion of foreign investment in Poland, environmental protection and improvements in security of supply, rather than to purchase goods and services required by the state. In such cases, the fact that a competitive procedure was followed may lead only to the conclusion that the aid is limited to the minimum necessary to achieve the policy objectives; it does not suffice to rule out the presence of state aid.
Slovak: V predmetnom prípade nemal postup obstarávania slúžiť na nadobudnutie tovarov a služieb potrebných pre štát, ale skôr na realizáciu politických cieľov, ako napríklad podporu zahraničných investícií v Poľsku, ochranu životného prostredia a zlepšenie bezpečnosti dodávok.. Uplatnenie postupu obstarávania môže v takom prípade viesť jedine k záveru, že pomoc sa obmedzuje na minimum potrebné na dosiahnutie politických cieľov, nepostačuje však na vylúčenie existencie štátnej pomoci.
English: This Article indicates that the state must secure a continuous and uninterrupted supply of energy to end-users in a manner that is technically and economically viable and takes due account of environmental protection requirements. But this Article of the Act does not entrust any specific company with public service obligations.
Slovak: Stanovuje, že štát musí koncovým odberateľom zabezpečiť stále a nepretržité dodávky energií primeraným spôsobom z technického a ekonomického hľadiska a so zohľadnením požiadaviek na ochranu životného prostredia.. Uvedený článok zákona však žiadnej konkrétnej spoločnosti neukladá záväzky služieb vo verejnom záujme.
English: Accordingly, the termination of these agreements cannot be regarded as constituting deprivation of rights. If such termination is deemed to constitute deprivation of rights, the Commission takes the view that compensation can be awarded and that the conditions laid down in the Methodology will ensure that compensation is fair.
Slovak: Ich vypovedanie preto nemožno považovať za zbavenie práv. Ak by sa považovali za zbavenie práv, Komisia zastáva názor, že je možné poskytnúť kompenzáciu a podmienky stanovené v metodike pre uviaznutých nákladov zaručujú, že pôjde o primeranú kompenzáciu.
English: This implies that state payments cover the costs normally borne by generators under normal market conditions. These payments therefore constitute an economic advantage.
Slovak: To znamená, že podľa týchto podmienok platby uskutočňované štátom pokryjú náklady, ktoré by v bežných trhových podmienkach museli zvyčajne hradiť výrobcovia Tieto platby preto predstavujú hospodársku výhodu.
English: The two PPAs concluded with Dalkia Poznań Zespół Elektrociepłowni S.A. and Electrabel Połaniec S.A. are not caught by the present Decision. The Commission will deal with those two companies in a separate decision,
Slovak: Toto rozhodnutie sa nevzťahuje na DZ uzavreté so spoločnosťami Dalkia Poznań Zespół Elektrociepłowni S.A. a Electrabel Połaniec S.A. Vo veci týchto dvoch spoločností vydá Komisia osobitné rozhodnutie,
Slovenian: Ta odločba ne vključuje pogodb PNE, sklenjenih z družbama Dalkia Poznań Zespół Elektrociepłowni S. A. in Electrabel Połaniec S. A. Komisija bo ti dve družbi obravnavala v ločeni odločbi –
