English: Point 3 of Annex IV to the Accession Treaty describes the interim mechanism procedure. It constitutes a legal framework for the assessment of aid schemes and individual aid measures which are put into effect in a new Member State before the date of its accession to the EU and are applicable after accession.
Spanish: En el anexo IV, punto 3, del Tratado de Adhesión se establece el denominado procedimiento de medidas transitorias, que constituye el marco legal para la evaluación de los regímenes de ayuda y las medidas individuales de ayuda ejecutadas en un nuevo Estado miembro antes de la fecha de su adhesión a la Unión Europea y aún vigentes después de la misma.
Italian: L’allegato IV, punto 3, del trattato di adesione descrive la procedura del meccanismo provvisorio e costituisce, in tal senso, un quadro giuridico per la valutazione dei regimi di aiuto e dei singoli interventi di aiuto posti in essere in un nuovo Stato membro prima della data di adesione all’Unione europea ancora applicabili dopo l’adesione.

English: Second, as regards the required collateral in the form of a mortgage on the land in question, ISD Stocznia has provided the following explanation. The land is currently mortgaged to guarantee the yard’s outstanding public liabilities.
Spanish: En segundo lugar, por lo que se refiere al aval exigido en forma de hipoteca sobre el terreno en cuestión, ISD Stocznia ha dado la siguiente explicación: el terreno se encuentra actualmente hipotecado con el fin de garantizar el reembolso de las deudas que el astillero ha contraído con entidades públicas.
English: The State aid granted to the yard between 2002 and 2004 reduces this contribution to 40 %, which the Commission regards as acceptable for the reasons mentioned above and the following reasons. In the period prior to 2004, when this aid was granted, the 1999 Guidelines applied and those Guidelines did not prescribe a threshold of 50 % for own contributions.
Spanish: La ayuda estatal concedida al astillero entre 2002 y 2004 reduce esta contribución al 40 %, porcentaje que la Comisión considera aceptable por las razones antes mencionadas y por el hecho de que en el período anterior a 2004, cuando se concedió esta ayuda, eran de aplicación las Directrices de 1999 y no contemplaban un umbral del 50 % para las contribuciones propias.
English: At the same time, the Commission learned from the press about ongoing talks on the sale of the shipyards in Gdynia and Gdańsk to strategic investors and on the separation of the two companies, which until that date had operated as part of the same group. The Commission asked the Polish Government by letter of 13 January 2006 to spell out what its strategy for Gdynia Shipyard Group actually was.
Estonian: Samal ajal sai komisjon ajakirjandusest teada käimasolevatest läbirääkimistest Gdynias ja Gdańskis asuvate laevatehaste strateegilistele investoritele müümise üle ja seni ühe kontserni raames tegutsenud kahe äriühingu teineteisest eraldamise kohta, 13. jaanuari 2006. aasta kirjaga palus komisjon Poola valitsusel selgitada, milline on Poola valitsuse tegelik strateegia seoses Gdynia laevatehase kontserniga.

English: The Commission also notes that the one time-last time principle applies in line with point 72 et seq. of the Guidelines, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Finnish: ON TEHNYT TÄMÄN PÄÄTÖKSEN:
English: Pursuant to Article 88(2) EC Treaty, Poland notified by letter of 8 October 2004, registered on the same day, restructuring aid measures extended in favour of Stocznia Gdańsk — Grupa Stoczni Gdynia S.A. (Gdańsk Shipyard). Poland informed the Commission of these measures with a view to obtaining legal certainty that they had been granted before accession and therefore did not constitute new aid which could have been examined by the Commission under Article 88 EC Treaty.
French: Par lettre du 8 octobre 2004 (enregistrée le jour même), la Pologne a notifié, conformément à l’article 88, paragraphe 2, du traité CE, des mesures à l’appui de la restructuration de l’entreprise Stocznia Gdańska - Grupa Stoczni Gdynia SA (ci-après «chantier naval de Gdansk») afin d’acquérir l’assurance juridique qu’elles ont été accordées avant l’adhésion et, partant, qu’elles ne constituent pas une aide nouvelle susceptible d’être examinée par la Commission en vertu de l’article 88 du traité CE.
English: By letter of 19 May 2004 the Commission asked Poland to submit certain missing documents. These were provided on 16 June 2004.
French: Par lettre du 19 mai 2004, la Commission a demandé à la Pologne de lui faire parvenir certains documents manquants, qui lui ont été transmis le 16 juin 2004.
Italian: Con lettera del 19 maggio 2004 la Commissione ha chiesto alla Polonia di fornire alcuni documenti mancanti, pervenuti il 16 giugno 2004.
Portuguese: Por carta de 19 de Maio de 2004, a Comissão solicitou à Polónia o envio de alguns documentos em falta, os quais lhe foram fornecidos em 16 de Junho de 2004.
English: By letter to Gdańsk Shipyard dated 29 March 2007, the Commission requested technical information on the capacity of the yard. By letter of 19 April 2007, registered on 3 May 2007, the yard replied to the above request.
French: Par lettre du 29 mars 2007, la Commission a demandé au chantier naval de Gdansk des renseignements techniques sur ses capacités de production, qui lui ont été transmis par lettre du 19 avril 2007 (enregistrée le 3 mai 2007).
English: The Commission requested information on the privatisation process by letters of 30 July 2007, 13 August 2007, 3 October 2007, 30 November 2007 and 17 January 2008. The Polish authorities submitted information by letters of 21 August 2007, registered on 27 August 2007, 24 September 2007, registered on 25 September 2007, 23 October 2007, registered on 24 October 2007 and 25 October 2007, registered on 29 October 2007.
French: La Commission a demandé des renseignements sur ce processus par lettres des 30 juillet 2007, 13 août 2007, 3 octobre 2007, 30 novembre 2007 et 17 janvier 2008, entre autres, auxquelles les autorités polonaises ont répondu par lettre du 21 août 2007 (enregistrée le 27), par lettre du 24 septembre 2007 (enregistrée le 25), par lettre du 23 octobre 2007 (enregistrée le 24), et par lettre du 25 octobre 2007 (enregistrée le 29).
English: Further information was submitted by Poland by letters of 16 September 2008, 17 September 2008, 19 September 2008, 23 September 2008, 25 September 2008, 26 September 2008, 1 October 2008, 2 October 2008, 3 October 2008, all registered on the date of their submission. Further information was submitted by letters of 6 October 2008, registered on 7 October 2008, and 22 October 2008, registered on the same day.
French: Des informations complémentaires ont été communiquées par lettres des 16 septembre, 17 septembre, 19 septembre, 23 septembre, 25 septembre, 26 septembre, 1er octobre, 2 octobre et 3 octobre 2008 (enregistrées le jour de leur transmission), puis par lettres du 6 octobre 2008 (enregistrée le 7) et du 22 octobre 2008 (enregistrée le jour même).
English: The aid recipient is Stocznia Gdańsk S.A. (‘Gdańsk Shipyard’). The company is located in the Gdańsk-Gdynia-Sopot region in the north of Poland.
French: Le bénéficiaire de l’aide est le chantier naval de Gdansk, entreprise implantée dans l’agglomération formée par Gdansk, Gdynia et Sopot (nord de la Pologne).
Italian: Beneficiario dell’aiuto è Stocznia Gdańsk S.A. («Stocznia Gdańsk»), cantiere navale ubicato nella regione di Danzica-Gdynia-Sopot nella Polonia settentrionale.
English: At end-2006 the yard employed 2893 workers, 60 % being directly engaged in production. In 2008 the workforce was reduced to 2235, a fall of 23 %.
French: En 2008, le chantier naval de Gdansk employait 2235 travailleurs, soit 23 % de moins qu’à la fin de 2006, lorsque ses effectifs s’établissaient à 2893 travailleurs (dont 60 % directement impliqués dans les activités de production).
English: The Commission did not find any evidence of legally binding decisions for a series of measures listed as measures 17-22 in part B of Annex II to the decision. These measures related to restructuring of public liabilities on the basis of legal acts other than the above-mentioned Act of 30 October 2002.
French: La Commission n’a trouvé aucun élément de preuve attestant l’existence d’actes juridiquement contraignants en relation avec la série de mesures identifiées en tant que mesures 17 à 22 au point B de l’annexe II de la décision, qui concernaient la restructuration de dettes à l’égard d’organismes publics sur la base d’actes juridiques autres que la loi du 30 octobre 2002 susmentionnée.
English: At the end of 2008 the company employed 2235 people. In other words, the number of employees had been reduced by 658 from 2893 at end-2006.
French: Fin 2008, l’entreprise employait 2235 personnes, soit 658 de moins qu’à la fin de 2006 (2893 personnes).
Dutch: Eind 2008 had de onderneming 2235 personen in dienst, 658 personen minder dan eind 2006 (2893 werknemers).
English: The plan anticipates an increase in shipbuilding wages. Pay was expected to be [… around 15 %] higher in 2009 than in 2007.
French: Le plan prévoit une hausse du salaire des personnes affectées à l’activité de construction navale, qui progresserait de [près de 15 %] entre 2007 et 2009.
Italian: Il piano prevede un aumento delle retribuzioni nel settore della costruzione navale, ipotizzando che nel 2009 saranno [… circa il 15 %] più elevate rispetto al 2007.
English: The guarantee provided by the Treasury and referred to as measure 16 in Table 4 below was formally granted to Gdynia Shipyard Group, but for the production of vessels at Gdańsk Shipyard. The Polish authorities provided this information in their letter of 13 July 2007.
French: La garantie accordée par le Trésor public et identifiée en tant que mesure 16 dans le tableau 4 ci-dessous a été formellement accordée au groupe Chantiers navals de Gdynia pour la construction de navires dans le chantier naval de Gdansk, ce que les autorités polonaises ont indiqué dans leur lettre du 13 juillet 2007.
English: The Commission notes that the Polish authorities did not dispute the classification of the measures covered by the present decision as State aid, with two exceptions. Firstly, they claimed that the loans granted to Gdańsk Shipyard by KPS did not constitute aid.
French: La Commission indique que les autorités polonaises n’ont pas contesté la qualification des mesures couvertes par la présente décision en tant qu’aide d’État, à deux exceptions près: elles ont affirmé que les prêts accordés au chantier naval de Gdansk par PKS ne constituaient pas une aide et ont contesté le caractère d’aide attribué aux garanties du KUKE, qui satisferaient au critère de l’investisseur privé.
English: Second, they questioned the aid character of the guarantees provided by the Export Credit Insurance Corporation which were alleged to comply with the market economy operator principle. In addition, the Polish authorities did not give notification of the continuous non-enforcement of public-law liabilities as a separate State aid measure.
French: Par ailleurs, les autorités polonaises n’ont pas notifié en tant que mesure spécifique le défaut constant d’exécution des créances publiques.
English: In the area of contracting, ISD Polska intends to introduce indexation clauses to protect the yard from increases in prices for materials and wages by transferring the risk to the shipowner. The yard also intends to reduce penalties for construction delays.
Italian: Per quanto riguarda gli aspetti contrattuali, ISD Polska intende introdurre clausole di indicizzazione per tutelare il cantiere dagli aumenti dei prezzi dei materiali e delle retribuzioni, trasferendo il rischio all’armatore, e ridurre le penali per i ritardi nella costruzione.
Hungarian: Ami a szerződéskötéseket illeti, az ISD Polska szándékában áll, hogy új indexálási záradékokat vezessen be, amelyek megvédenék a gyárat a nyersanyagárak és a bérek emelkedésétől azáltal, hogy a kockázatot a hajótulajdonosra hárítják.
English: The Commission considers that no market economy creditor would accept such an unlimited deferral of its liabilities. Furthermore, even after the yard’s privatisation and the capital injection by ISD Polska of PLN 305 million, the Polish authorities have not undertaken measures to enforce repayment of liabilities.
Hungarian: A Bizottság úgy véli, hogy egyetlen piacgazdasági hitelező sem fogadta volna el a tartozások olyan határozatlan időre történő elhalasztását, amely a privatizáció és az állami újratőkésítés bizonytalan eseményétől függ (ez utóbbi jogszerűsége és közös piaccal való összeegyeztethetősége is kétséges).
English: Where the Commission needs prompt confirmation of certain key items of information, for example, on capacity reductions, it may require more frequent reports (point 48 of the Guidelines). Any amendment of the restructuring plan has to be notified pursuant to point 52 et seq. of the Guidelines.
Hungarian: Amennyiben a Bizottságnak szüksége van egyes kulcsfontosságú információk megfelelő időben történő visszaigazolására, pl. kapacitáscsökkentésekkel kapcsolatban, gyakoribb beszámolási kötelezettséget is előírhat (az iránymutatás 48. pontja).)Az iránymutatás 52. és azt követő pontjai rendelkezésének értelmében a szerkezetátalakítási terv minden módosítását be kell jelenteni.
English: The yard was renamed Gdańsk Shipyard — Gdynia Shipyard Group. Since then, Gdynia Shipyard has concluded contracts, purchased materials and arranged financing for Gdańsk Shipyard’s production.
Italian: La denominazione dell’impresa è stata cambiata in Stocznia Gdańsk — Grupa Stoczni Gdynia e di lì in poi Stocznia Gdynia ha concluso contratti, acquistato materiali e provveduto al finanziamento della produzione di Stocznia Gdańsk.
English: Those measures are therefore not caught by this decision. Nonetheless, they had to be taken into account when assessing the compatibility with the common market of the measures granted after accession.
Italian: Tali misure non rientrano dunque nell’ambito di applicazione della presente decisione, sebbene sia stato necessario tenerne conto nella valutazione della compatibilità con il mercato comune delle misure concesse dopo l’adesione.
English: Denmark and Danish Maritime supported the Commission’s efforts to ensure that State aid was granted in line with the applicable rules. They pointed out that, as a result of the competitive situation in the world shipbuilding market, a number of Danish shipyards had closed or faced bankruptcy without any State aid being provided.
Italian: La Danimarca e Danish Maritime hanno sostenuto gli sforzi della Commissione tesi a garantire che gli aiuti di Stato fossero concessi in linea con le norme applicabili, sottolineando che, date le condizioni di concorrenza presenti sul mercato mondiale della costruzione navale, diversi cantieri danesi avevano cessato l’attività o erano falliti senza che fosse erogato loro alcun aiuto di Stato.
English: First, the Commission received a summary document highlighting some features of ISD Polska’s restructuring strategy for the yard and based on the assumption that the State aid (EUR 20 million in the opinion of ISD Polska) would be repaid. This was allegedly the basis of ISD Polska’s decision to acquire the yard.
Italian: Innanzitutto, la Commissione ha ricevuto un documento di sintesi in cui erano evidenziati alcuni aspetti della strategia di ISD Polska per la ristrutturazione del cantiere, basata sull’ipotesi che gli aiuti di Stato (20 milioni di EUR, secondo ISD Polska) sarebbero stati restituiti, ipotesi presumibilmente alla base della decisione di ISD Polska di acquistare il cantiere.
English: In November 2008 the Commission received a draft stand-alone restructuring plan for Gdańsk Shipyard prepared by ISD Polska. Following intensive correspondence between the Commission, the Polish authorities and ISD Polska, on 8 May 2009 the Commission received the final restructuring plan for Gdańsk Shipyard, entitled ‘Restructuring Plan for Gdańsk Shipyard.
Italian: Nel novembre 2008 la Commissione riceveva un progetto di piano di ristrutturazione distinto per Stocznia Gdańsk, predisposto da ISD Polska.
English: It underlines the failure to privatise the yard in 2006 and to raise the yard’s capital to levels permitting restructuring. The plan identifies macroeconomic factors such as the Polish zloty’s appreciation against the US dollar, the increase in steel prices and external factors such as the outflow of qualified workforce from the yard, high absenteeism, poor organisation and low productivity.
Italian: Sottolinea la mancata privatizzazione del cantiere nel 2006 e l’incapacità di portarne il capitale a livelli che ne consentissero la ristrutturazione e individua una serie di fattori macroeconomici, tra cui la rivalutazione del PLN polacco rispetto al dollaro e l’aumento dei prezzi dell’acciaio, e fattori esterni quali l’esodo di manodopera qualificata dal cantiere, il tasso elevato di assenteismo, le carenze a livello di organizzazione e il basso livello di produttività.
English: The 2009 Restructuring Plan envisages the creation of a Planning Centre tasked with planning production efficiently at all levels of organisation of the yard. It is designed to eradicate deficiencies in the planning, scheduling, budgeting and monitoring of the production process.
Italian: Il piano di ristrutturazione del 2009 prevede la creazione di un centro di pianificazione incaricato di garantire la programmazione efficiente della produzione a tutti i livelli organizzativi del cantiere, al fine di eliminare le carenze nella pianificazione, programmazione, definizione del bilancio e controllo del processo di produzione.
English: For the loans granted in 2005-06, KPS charged interest ranging from 9,70 % to 11,62 %. It also charged a one-off fee ranging from 0,1 % to 0,4 %.
Italian: Per i prestiti erogati negli anni 2005-2006, KPS ha addebitato interessi variabili dal 9,70 % all’11,62 %, oltre a una commissione una tantum compresa tra lo 0,1 % e lo 0,4 %.
English: The compulsory limitation or reduction of the company’s presence on the relevant market represents a compensatory measure in favour of its competitors. It should be in proportion to the distortive effects of the aid and to the relative importance of the firm on its market or markets.
Italian: La limitazione o riduzione obbligatoria della presenza dell’impresa sul mercato rilevante rappresenta una misura compensativa a favore dei suoi concorrenti, che deve essere proporzionale all’effetto distorsivo dell’aiuto e alle dimensioni e al peso relativo dell’impresa sui mercati in cui opera.
English: These were provided on 16 June 2004. The Commission requested further information by letters of 30 July 2004, 8 October 2004, 23 November 2004 and 4 March 2005, to which Poland replied, respectively, by letters of 3 September 2004, registered on 7 September 2004, 10 November 2004, registered on 15 November 2004, 17 February 2005, registered on 21 February 2005, 30 March 2005, registered on 1 April 2005 and 18 April 2005, registered on 20 April 2005.

English: The Commission asked Poland to provide further clarifications by letter of 14 June 2007, in which it indicated that failure to provide all the requested information might lead the Commission to adopt a decision on the basis of Article 10(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty (information injunction) [4]. Poland replied by letter of 22 June 2007, registered on 26 June 2007. Considering this reply to be insufficient, the Commission adopted a decision pursuant to Article 10(3) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 on 19 July 2007.
Lithuanian: Lenkija atsakė 2007 m. birželio 22 d. raštu, užregistruotu 2007 m. birželio 26 d. Kadangi šis atsakymas buvo nepakankamas, Komisija 2007 m. liepos 19 d. priėmė sprendimą pagal Reglamento (EB) Nr. 659/1999 10 straipsnio 3 dalį.
