Portuguese: Além das dívidas fiscais directas ao Estado grego, a dívida da Olympic Airways para com o AIA era aproximadamente de 93 milhões de EUR à data da cisão.
Greek: Επιπλέον των φορολογικών υποχρεώσεων που οφείλονταν άμεσα στο Ελληνικό Δημόσιο, η οφειλή της OA στον ΔΑΑ κατά την ημερομηνία της απόσχισης ανερχόταν περίπου σε 93 εκατ. ευρώ.

French: En vertu des conditions fixées pour le transfert d’activités lors de la scission, aucune partie de cette dette n’a été transférée à NOA, qui au contraire est restée entièrement à charge d’OA.
Portuguese: Nos termos da cisão, nenhuma parte dessa dívida foi transferida para a Olympic Airlines, permanecendo integralmente na Olympic Airways.
Greek: Κανένα μέρος της οφειλής αυτής δεν μεταβιβάστηκε στην ΝΟΑ βάσει των όρων της διαδικασίας μετασχηματισμού, αλλά αντίθετα η οφειλή παρέμεινε εξ ολοκλήρου στην OA.
Estonian: Eraldumise tingimuste kohaselt ei kantud sellest midagi üle Olympic Airlinesile, vaid kõik jäi äriühingule Olympic Airways.

Spanish: Grecia tenía también la obligación de informar a la Comisión en el plazo de dos meses a partir de la fecha de notificación de la Decisión, de las medidas que estaba tomando para cumplir la Decisión, que se notificó a las autoridades griegas por carta de 13 de diciembre de 2002 [SG(2002) D/233148] y se publicó en el Diario Oficial de la Unión Europea el 28 de mayo de 2003.
English: In the case of Macedonian, a tax provision amounting to EUR 9,1 million, relating to the findings of a tax audit covering the years 1992-1997, had been excluded from the balance sheet. No tax provision had been made for Macedonian for the years 1998–2003.
Spanish: En relación con MA, se excluyó del balance una provisión fiscal relativa a las conclusiones de una inspección fiscal que cubrió los años 1992-1997, por un importe de 9,1 millones EUR. Los expertos han constatado que no había habido provisión fiscal para MA relativa a los años 1998-2003.
Italian: In relazione a MA, è stato escluso dal bilancio un accantonamento fiscale relativo ai risultati di una verifica fiscale riguardante gli anni 1992-1997, per un importo di 9,1 milioni di EUR.

Slovak: Pokiaľ ide o spoločnosť Macedonian, zo súvahy boli vylúčené daňové rezervy súvisiace so zisteniami daňového auditu, ktorý sa týkal rokov 1992 – 1997, vo výške 9,1 mil. EUR. Spoločnosť Macedonian nevytvorila žiadne daňové rezervy týkajúce sa rokov 1998 – 2003.
English: Using this payment schedule and information provided by Olympic Airways. management […]. The experts ascertained that Olympic Airways management appeared to have interpreted the concept of retirement and other restructuring expenses in the broadest possible sense, so as to cover any kind of spending by Olympic Airways in the period between the hive-off of Olympic Airlines and the completion of privatisation. It was not easy to verify the analysis of the purposes for which Olympic Airways had used the money, because the funds from the special account were not differentiated from any other funds received into the company’s main bank account, but Olympic Airways management indicated to the experts that the funds had been spent as follows:
Spanish: Haciendo uso de este calendario de pagos y de la información suministrada por la dirección de OA, […] y aunque el análisis del uso que hizo OA de la financiación no ha sido fácil de verificar porque los fondos de la «cuenta especial» estaban mezclados con los demás fondos transferidos a la principal cuenta bancaria de la empresa, la dirección de OA declaró a los expertos de la Comisión que los fondos se habían gastado como sigue:
Italian: Sulla base di questo calendario dei versamenti e delle informazioni fornite dai dirigenti dell'OA: […] benché l'analisi delle finalità cui sono stati destinati i fondi da parte dell'Olympic Airways non sia facilmente verificabile perché gli importi provenienti dal «conto speciale» confluivano con tutti gli altri introiti nel conto bancario principale della società, i dirigenti dell'Olympic Airways hanno indicato agli esperti della Commissione che i fondi sono stati così impiegati:
English: According to Olympic Airlines management, Olympic Airways (Olympic Airways Services) benefited from the arrangement because it had a lessee for its aircraft. Olympic Airlines stressed that it could source its leased aircraft from elsewhere if Olympic Airways did not offer market rates.
French: Selon la direction de NOA, OA (OAS) retire un avantage de cette situation puisqu’elle a un locataire pour ses aéronefs; NOA insiste aussi sur le fait qu’elle pourrait louer des aéronefs ailleurs si OA ne lui proposait pas des conditions correspondant à celles du marché.
Spanish: Según la dirección de NOA, OA (OAS) se beneficia ya que tiene un arrendatario para sus aeronaves, NOA insiste también en que podría arrendar sus aeronaves a otros si OA no le ofreciera precios de mercado.
Italian: Secondo i dirigenti della NOA, l'Olympic Airways (OAS) trae vantaggio dal fatto di avere un locatario per i suoi aeromobili; La NOA ribadisce inoltre che potrebbe prendere in locazione gli aeromobili da altre società, se l'Olympic Airways non li offrisse a tariffe di mercato.
Finnish: NOA:n johdon mukaan OA (OAS) hyötyy siitä, että se saa vuokralaisen lentokoneilleen, ja lisäksi NOA korosti voivansa hankkia leasingsopimuksilla vuokraamansa lentokoneet muualta, ellei OA tarjoaisi niitä markkinahintaan.
Hungarian: Az NOA vezetősége szerint az OA (OAS) jól jár, mivel a repülőgépeire bérlőt talált, illetve azt állítják, hogy ha az OA nem piaci díjakat ajánlott volna, más forrásból is bérelhettek volna repülőgépeket.
Romanian: Potrivit conducerii NOA, compania OA (OAS) este avantajată pentru că are un chiriaș pentru aeronavele sale și insistă că putea închiria din altă parte dacă oferta OA nu ar fi fost la prețul pieței.
Latvian: Saskaņā ar NOA vadības sniegto informāciju uzņēmums OA (OAS) ir ieguvējs, jo tā gaisa kuģiem ir nomnieks; NOA arī apgalvoja: ja OA nepiedāvātu tirgus cenu, uzņēmums nomātu gaisa kuģus no cita iznomātāja.
Maltese: Skont il-maniġment ta’Olympic Airlines, Olympic Airways (Olympic Airways Services) tibbenefika billi għandha kerrej għall-ajruplani tagħha, Olympic Airlines tinsisti wkoll li hija tista’ ġġib l-ajruplani mikrija tagħha minn xi mkien ieħor jekk Olympic Airways ma toffrix rati tas-suq.
English: The Commission is of the opinion that the substantive provisions of the 2002 Decision were sufficiently clear and unambiguous: ‘Article 1. The restructuring aid granted by Greece to Olympic Airways in the form of … (b) new loan guarantees totalling USD 378 million for loans to be contracted before 31 March 2001 for the purchase of new aircraft and for investment necessary for the relocation of Olympic Airways to the new airport in Spata … is considered to be incompatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty’. With regard to the obligation to recover, the 2002 Decision distinguished between the period 1994–1998 and the period 1998–2002.
Spanish: La Comisión estima que las partes dispositivas de la Decisión son lo suficientemente claras y sin ambigüedades, «Artículo 1: Se declaran incompatibles con el mercado común, con arreglo al apartado 1 del artículo 87 del Tratado, las ayudas de reestructuración concedidas por Grecia a Olympic Airways en las formas siguientes:… b) nuevas garantías crediticias de un importe total de 378 millones de dólares estadounidenses para los préstamos contraídos antes del 31 de marzo de 2001 destinados a la compra de nuevas aeronaves y a las inversiones necesarias para el traslado de Olympic Airways al aeropuerto de Spata;» lo que no debería haber dado pábulo a cualquier tipo de confusión sobre la incompatibilidad de estas garantías.
English: Including charges and penalties, the amount at issue was EUR 9106481,75; the case was still ongoing. Pending the outcome of the proceedings the company had made appropriate provision for the liability in its accounts.
Estonian: Kõnealune summa (koos tasude ja trahvidega) moodustab 9106481,75 eurot ning kohtuvaidlus ei ole veel lõppenud Kuni kohtulahendini jõudmiseni kajastab äriühing seda kohustust nõuetekohaselt oma raamatupidamises.

English: In particular, it sought accounts and figures relating to the payment of operating costs by the State. The replies provided by Greece were insufficient.
Finnish: Välipäätöksessä vaadittiin erityisesti valtion maksamiin toimintakustannuksiin liittyvien lukujen ja kirjanpidon esittämistä, mutta Kreikan tasavallan toimittamat vastaukset eivät olleet riittäviä.
Romanian: În special, Comisia a solicitat date contabile și cifre privind cheltuielile de exploatare suportate de către stat; răspunsurile Republicii Elene au fost insuficiente.
English: Its core business, rather than generating income, is reducing the overall value of the company year on year. It is difficult if not impossible to believe, therefore, that it has been able to continue in business only because it has not been paying its debts to the State.
Swedish: I stället för att generera intäkter leder företagets kärnverksamhet i själva verket till att företagets övergripande värde minskar från år till år, varför det är svårt, om inte omöjligt, att tro att företaget inte fortsätter sin verksamhet enbart på grund av att det inte betalar sina skulder till staten.
Finnish: Sen sijaan, että yhtiön ydinliiketoiminta tuottaisi tuloa, se itse asiassa heikentää yhtiön kokonaisarvoa vuodesta toiseen.
Romanian: Activitatea principală a companiei, în loc să genereze venituri, mai degrabă reduce valoarea totală a companiei de la an la an și, astfel, este dificil de crezut, dacă nu imposibil, că aceasta a reușit să-și continue activitatea numai prin faptul că nu și-a achitat obligațiile către stat.
Maltese: Il-kumpanija qed tkompli turi proporzjon negattiv ta' profittabilità.
English: Even in terms of gross operating profit (turnover less direct costs of services) the company had achieved a profit of just EUR 4 million. The 2003 profit-and-loss figures included a provision of EUR 13 million as an extraordinary item, of which EUR 12,6 million had been released back to income in 2004.
French: Même au niveau du résultat d’exploitation brut (chiffre d’affaires moins coûts directs des services), la société n’a dégagé qu’un petit bénéfice de 4 millions EUR. Les experts soulignent aussi que les résultats de 2003 incluent, en postes exceptionnels, une provision de 13,0 millions EUR dont 12,6 millions EUR ont été libérés en 2004 et enregistrés en recettes.
Portuguese: Inclusivamente em termos de resultados brutos de exploração (volume de negócios menos custos directos dos serviços), a empresa tinha obtido apenas lucros de 4 milhões de EUR. A demonstração de resultados de 2003 incluía, nas rubricas de extraordinários, uma provisão de 13,0 milhões de EUR, dos quais 12,6 milhões de EUR foram anulados e levados a resultados em 2004.
Finnish: Tämän seurauksena sen liiketappio oli 94,5 miljoonaa EUR, liikevaihto 616,7 miljoonaa EUR ja vuoden nettotappio ennen veroja 87,1 miljoonaa EUR. Jopa yhtiön liiketoiminnan bruttotulos (liikevaihto, josta vähennetään palvelujen suorat kulut) oli vain 4 miljoonaa EUR. Asiantuntijat huomauttivat myös, että vuoden 2003 tuloksen satunnaisissa erissä oli 13 miljoonan EUR varaus, josta 12,6 miljoonaa kirjattiin takaisin tuloihin vuonna 2004.
English: The experts reported that a series of seven contracts had been concluded between Olympic Airlines and Olympic Airways Services (including Olympic Aviation and Olympic Catering) for a range of services including ground handling, technical maintenance, cargo and mail handling, storehouse management, accounting support and consulting, human resources training and general flight itinerary programming services, information technology and telecommunications services, and catering. The experts found that in 2004, companies within the Olympic Airways group had provided Olympic Airlines with services to a value of approximately EUR […] million. The main service contracts between Olympic Airlines and the Olympic Airways group were for ground handling and maintenance services. Olympic Airlines used the Olympic Airways group for […] % of its ground handling services and for all of its maintenance.
Finnish: Asiantuntijat ilmoittivat NOA:n ja OAS:n (OAv ja Olympic Catering S.A. mukaan luettuina) tehneen seitsemän erilaista palvelusopimusta, jotka käsittivät maahuolinnan, teknisen huollon, lastin ja postin käsittelyn, varastonhallinnan, taloushallinnon tuen ja konsultoinnin, henkilöstön koulutuksen sekä yleiset lentoreittien ohjelmointipalvelut, tietotekniikka- ja televiestintäpalvelut sekä ateriapalvelut.
English: Given its financial position, the Commission has to take the view that Olympic Airways would manifestly have been unable to obtain a comparable cash advance from a private investor in the same situation. This is so particularly as the ‘investor’ in the present case was also Olympic Airways’ largest creditor, and stood little realistic chance of recovering the sums that Olympic Airways already owed it.
French: Compte tenu de la situation financière d’OA, la Commission doit conclure qu’OA aurait été manifestement incapable d’obtenir une avance de trésorerie comparable auprès d’un investisseur privé dans la même situation; a fortiori auprès d’un «investisseur» également en situation de plus gros créancier d’OA ayant, d’un point de vue réaliste, peu de chances de récupérer les sommes déjà dues par OA.
Portuguese: Atendendo à situação financeira da empresa, a Comissão é levada a considerar que a Olympic Airways seria manifestamente incapaz de obter um adiantamento em numerário comparável de um investidor privado na mesma situação, tanto mais que no caso em apreço o «investidor» era também o maior credor da Olympic Airways, que tinha poucas perspectivas realistas de recuperar os montantes que a Olympic Airways já lhe devia.
Finnish: OA:n taloudellisen tilanteen vuoksi komission on todettava, että OA:n olisi selvästikin ollut mahdotonta saada samassa tilanteessa vastaavaa käteisennakkoa yksityissijoittajalta – varsinkin kun esillä olevassa tapauksessa ”sijoittaja” on myös OA:n suurin velkoja ja sillä on realistisesti arvioiden heikot mahdollisuudet saada perittyä summat, jotka OA on jo sille velkaa.
Romanian: Având în vedere situația financiară a companiei, Comisia se vede nevoită să concluzioneze că OA s-ar fi aflat în mod evident în imposibilitatea de a obține un avans în numerar comparabil de la un investitor privat în aceeași situație, cu atât mai mult cu cât „investitorul” este, în cazul de față, cel mai mare creditor al OA și practic are șanse foarte mici de a recupera sumele pe care OA i le datora deja.
English: In this period the company made payments of EUR 7,7 million under an agreement to settle debts for years prior to 2003. Note:
Hungarian: A társaság a fenti időszakban 7,7 millió EUR összeget fizetett ki a 2003-at megelőző évekkel kapcsolatos Elszámolási megállapodás keretében.
English: By decision of 16 March 2004, notified to Greece by letter dated 16 March 2004 (SG(2002) D/228848), the Commission initiated the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the Treaty. The case was registered under number C 11/04.
Italian: Con decisione del 16 marzo 2004, notificata alla Repubblica Ellenica con lettera del 16 marzo 2004 [SG(2002) D/228848], la Commissione ha avviato il procedimento di cui all'articolo 88, paragrafo 2, del trattato, che è stato registrato con il riferimento C 11/04.
English: The Greek authorities replied to this letter of formal notice on 28 October 2004. Greece argued that issuing an injunction at this stage would seriously jeopardise the intensive efforts Greece was making to find a solution, and would be disproportionate and unjustified.
Italian: Il 28 ottobre 2004 le autorità greche hanno risposto all'avvertimento formale, sostenendo che un'ingiunzione in quella fase avrebbe gravemente compromesso l'intensa attività che la Grecia stava dispiegando per trovare una soluzione e sarebbe stata sproporzionata e ingiustificata.
Portuguese: Em 28 de Outubro de 2004, as autoridades gregas responderam a esta carta de notificação formal, observando que a adopção de uma decisão de injunção neste estádio comprometeria gravemente os esforços empreendidos pela Grécia no sentido de encontrar uma solução e seria uma medida desproporcionada e injustificada.
Polish: W dniu 28 października 2004 r. władze greckie odpowiedziały na to wezwanie do usunięcia uchybienia, argumentując, że wydanie nakazu na tym etapie poważnie zagroziłoby podejmowanym przez Grecję intensywnym wysiłkom na rzecz znalezienia rozwiązania oraz byłoby nieproporcjonalne i nieuzasadnione.
English: On 6 March 2002 the Commission decided to initiate the formal investigation procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the Treaty. It expressed concern that the aid allowed by the 1994 and 1998 Decisions might have been misused, that the company’s restructuring plan might not have been implemented, and that new illegal State aid might have been granted.
Italian: Il 6 marzo 2002 la Commissione ha deciso d'iniziare un procedimento formale di esame ai sensi dell'articolo 88, paragrafo 2 del trattato, esprimendo dubbi riguardo alla legalità dell'utilizzo degli aiuti da essa autorizzati con le decisioni del 1994 e del 1998, all'esecuzione effettiva del piano di ristrutturazione della società e alla possibile concessione di nuovi aiuti di Stato illegali.
English: On 11 December 2002 the Commission adopted a final negative decision concerning aid granted by Greece to Olympic Airways (Decision 2003/372/EC [6], ‘the 2002 Decision’). The Commission there found that aid previously granted by the State and authorised by the Commission was incompatible with the Treaty on account of the failure to comply with the relevant conditions, notably the failure correctly to implement the restructuring plan.
Italian: L'11 dicembre 2002 la Commissione ha adottato la decisione finale 2003/372/CE [6] («la decisione del 2002»), negativa, relativa all'aiuto concesso dalla Repubblica Ellenica all'Olympic Airways, concludendo che gli aiuti concessi in precedenza dallo Stato e autorizzati dalla Commissione stessa erano incompatibili con il trattato a causa dell'inosservanza delle condizioni poste, in particolare della non corretta attuazione del piano di ristrutturazione.
English: On 26 June 2003 the Greek Government replied, saying that it was examining the legal effects of the 2002 Decision and of the procedure the Commission had followed in adopting it. It also assured the Commission that it intended to carry out the recovery.
Italian: Il 26 giugno 2003 il governo greco ha risposto che stava esaminando gli effetti giuridici della decisione del 2002 e del procedimento seguito dalla Commissione nell'adottarla ed ha assicurato alla Commissione che intendeva effettuare il recupero.
English: Its core business, rather than generating income, is reducing the overall value of the company year on year. It is difficult if not impossible to believe, therefore, that it has been able to continue in business only because it has not been paying its debts to the State. In the 2002 Decision this failure to collect debts was found to constitute illegal State aid.
Italian: Nella decisione del 2002 si è concluso che non esigere il pagamento di tali debiti costituiva un aiuto di Stato illegale.
English: Consequently, Article 27 of Law 3185/2003 envisaged a number of changes. Law 2190/1994, which concerns the administrative recruitment procedure for companies in the public sector, would not apply to Olympic Airlines.
Italian: Di conseguenza, l'articolo 27 della legge 3185/2003 prevedeva una serie di cambiamenti: non si sarebbe applicata alla NOA la legge 2190/1994, relativa al procedimento amministrativo di assunzione per le società del settore pubblico.
English: On 11 June 2004 Greece submitted its response to the initiation of the procedure. It began by explaining that in its opinion the most appropriate solution for Olympic Airways was the privatisation of the various businesses and operations of the group.
Italian: L'11 giugno 2004 la Grecia ha presentato la sua risposta all'avvio del procedimento, spiegando anzitutto che, a suo parere, la soluzione più appropriata per l'Olympic Airways era la privatizzazione delle varie imprese e attività del gruppo.
English: Greece referred to the progress that had already been made in the privatisation process, which had been communicated to the Commission in advance. Greece confirmed that the flight operations of Olympic Airways and Olympic Aviation had been hived off into an existing company, Macedonian, along with a number of intangible assets, such as slots, rights under bilateral agreements, the brand name and logo, and Olympic Airways’ goodwill.
Italian: La Grecia riferiva sui progressi già compiuti nel promuovere il processo di privatizzazione, del quale la Commissione era stata avvertita in anticipo, confermando che le attività di volo dell'Olympic Airways e dell'OAv erano state scorporate, insieme con varie immobilizzazioni immateriali come bande orarie, diritti derivanti da accordi bilaterali, il marchio e il logo e i diritti di avviamento dell'Olympic Airways, ed erano state cedute a una società esistente, la MA, la quale aveva cambiato la sua ragione sociale in NOA.
English: Macedonian had changed its name and had become Olympic Airlines. Ownership of Olympic Airlines’ shares (following a capital increase to accommodate the contribution in kind of the flight operations) had been transferred directly to the Greek State, thus taking Olympic Airlines out of the Olympic Airways group.
Italian: La proprietà delle azioni della NOA (in seguito a un aumento di capitale per tener conto del contributo in natura dell'attività di volo) era stata trasferita direttamente allo Stato greco, facendo uscire la NOA dall'OAG.
