English: On 4 August 2008, the Commission notified Denmark of its decision not to raise objections to the rescue aid to be granted to TV2 Danmark A/S in the form of a credit facility totalling DKK 1000 million (hereinafter ‘the rescue aid decision’) [3]. That decision found that the planned aid was compatible with Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty, now Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), and, in particular, with the rules laid down in the Community Guidelines on State aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty [4] (hereinafter ‘the Guidelines’).
Danish: Den 4. august 2008 meddelte Kommissionen Danmark, at den havde besluttet ikke at gøre indsigelse mod den redningsstøtte, som skulle ydes TV2 Danmark A/S i form af en kreditfacilitet på i alt 1000 mio. DKK (i det følgende benævnt »beslutningen om redningsstøtte«) [3]. Ifølge denne beslutning var den planlagte støtte forenelig med EF-traktatens artikel 87, stk. 3), litra c), nu artikel 107, stk. 3, litra c), i traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions funktionsmåde (TEUF), og især med reglerne i »Fællesskabets rammebestemmelser for statsstøtte til redning og omstrukturering af kriseramte virksomheder« [4] (i det følgende benævnt »rammebestemmelserne«).

Dik id-deċiżjoni qieset li l-għajnuna ppjanata kienet kompatibbli mal-Artikolu 87(3)(c) tat-Trattat KE, li issa sar l-Artikolu 107(3)(c) tat-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea (TFUE), u, b’mod partikulari, mar-regoli stabbiliti fil-Linji Gwida tal-Komunità dwar Għajnuna mill-Istat għas-Salvataġġ u r-Ristrutturar ta’ Impriżi f’Diffikultà [4] (minn hawn ‘il quddiem “il-Linji Gwida”).

English: Danmark A/S was incorporated in 2003 as a private limited liability company wholly owned by the Danish State. The company took over the activities of the autonomous public institution TV2, which was created in 1986.
Danish: Danmark A/S blev stiftet i 2003 som et aktieselskab, der ejes 100 % af den danske stat. Virksomheden overtog aktiviteterne fra den selvejende offentlige institution TV 2, som blev oprettet i 1986.
English: The originally notified aid measures: As originally notified, three aid measures totalling a maximum of DKK 1375 million were envisaged to accompany the restructuring. These were:
French: Les mesures d’aide notifiées initialement: Comme prévu initialement, les trois mesures d’aide suivantes, pour un montant de 1375 millions de DKK, devaient accompagner la restructuration:
Spanish: Medidas de ayuda inicialmente notificadas: El objetivo inicial de las tres medidas de ayuda siguientes, que totalizan 1375 millones DKK, era declaradamente acompañar la reestructuración:
Dutch: De oorspronkelijk aangemelde steunmaatregelen: In de oorspronkelijke aanmelding waren drie steunmaatregelen voorzien om de herstructurering te financieren en wel voor een totaalbedrag van 1375 miljoen DKK, te weten:
Danish: De oprindeligt anmeldte støtteforanstaltninger: Følgende tre støtteforanstaltninger til et beløb på 1375 mio. DKK havde som oprindeligt anmeldt til formål at ledsage omstruktureringen:
Swedish: De ursprungligen anmälda stödåtgärderna: I enlighet med den ursprungliga anmälan skulle omstrukturering omfatta följande tre stödåtgärder, till ett belopp av högst 1375 miljoner danska kronor:
English: The Commission raised doubts about the compatibility of the notified restructuring plan in the following respects: While accepting for the time being that TV2 Danmark A/S was a firm in difficulty within the meaning of the Guidelines, the Commission invited comments given that competitors of TV 2 had pointed out that the cash flow problems were self-inflicted, easily solved and without bearing on the fundamental viability of the company.
French: La Commission a demandé si le plan de restructuration présenté était compatible avec le marché intérieur en ce qui concerne les points suivants:
Spanish: La Comisión planteó dudas sobre la compatibilidad con el mercado común del plan de reestructuración notificado en lo que atañe a los extremos siguientes:
Danish: Kommissionen satte spørgsmål ved, om den anmeldte omstruktureringsplan var forenelig med fællesmarkedet, for så vidt angår følgende aspekter:
Greek: Η Επιτροπή αμφισβήτησε ότι το σχέδιο αναδιάρθρωσης είναι συμβατό με την κοινή αγορά, όσον αφορά τις ακόλουθες πτυχές:
English: The Court states that in Essent, the undertakings in question had been appointed to ‘manage a state resource’, contrary to the situation in Preussen Elektra [89]. In the case in question, TV2 is not called upon by the State to manage a state resource.
Spanish: En el asunto Essent, el Tribunal afirmó que, al contrario que en el caso Preussen Elektra, las empresas en cuestión habían sido elegidas para «administrar recursos públicos» [89].
Danish: Domstolen fastslog i Essent-sagen, at de pågældende virksomheder i modsætning til Preussen Elektra-sagen var blevet udpeget til »at administrere statsmidler« [89].
Greek: Το Δικαστήριο απεφάνθη στην υπόθεση Essent ότι οι εν λόγω φορείς, σε αντίθεση με την υπόθεση Preussen Elektra, είχαν οριστεί για να «διαχειρίζονται κρατικούς πόρους» [89].
English: The state resources involved confer an economic advantage on TV2 in that the same financial instruments at market conditions would attract a higher borrowing cost, or higher fees, if any market operators agreed to make further funds available to the beneficiary at the amount envisaged. According to the evidence submitted by Denmark, none were willing to do so.
French: Les ressources d’État confèrent à TV2 un avantage économique, alors que les mêmes instruments financiers aux conditions du marché entraîneraient une augmentation du coût de l’emprunt, dans l’éventualité où les acteurs du marché accepteraient de mettre à disposition du bénéficiaire des moyens supplémentaires à la hauteur du montant requis, ce qui, d’après les documents fournis par le Danemark, n’est pas le cas.
Spanish: Los fondos estatales dan a TV2 una ventaja económica comoquiera que, en condiciones de mercado, instrumentos financieros iguales supondrían costes más elevados de préstamos o intereses superiores, y ello en el caso de que los agentes del mercado aceptaran poner a disposición del beneficiario recursos adicionales en la cuantía imaginada, a lo que, según la documentación presentada por Dinamarca, dichos agentes se han negado.
Danish: De statslige midler giver TV2 en økonomisk fordel, i og med at de samme finansielle instrumenter på markedsvilkår ville resultere i højere låneomkostninger eller højere gebyrer, hvis markedsaktørerne overhovedet ville acceptere at stille yderligere midler til rådighed for modtageren op til det påtænkte beløb, hvilket de ifølge den dokumentation, som Danmark har fremlagt, ikke ville.
Swedish: De statliga medlen ger TV2 en ekonomisk fördel eftersom samma finansiella instrument på marknadsvillkor skulle resultera i en högre lånekostnad, eller högre avgifter, om några marknadsaktörer skulle gå med på att ställa ytterligare medel till förfogande för stödmottagaren upp till det tänkta beloppet, vilket enligt den dokumentation som Danmark lagt fram ingen ville.
Greek: Οι κρατικοί πόροι παρέχουν στην TV2 οικονομικό πλεονέκτημα, δεδομένου ότι τα ίδια χρηματοπιστωτικά μέσα σε συνθήκες της αγοράς θα είχαν ως αποτέλεσμα υψηλότερο κόστος δανεισμού ή υψηλότερα τέλη, και αυτό αν οι παράγοντες της αγοράς δέχονταν να θέσουν περαιτέρω πόρους στη διάθεση του αποδέκτη έως το προβλεπόμενο ποσό, πράγμα που σύμφωνα με την τεκμηρίωση, την οποία υπέβαλε η Δανία, δεν θα δέχονταν.
English: The actual payments made under the rescue aid facility were, however, limited (DKK 223 million drawn of DKK 1000 million available). Most of the aid was actually drawn as rescue aid (DKK 208 out of 223 million were drawn until end 2008, i.e. within the six-month rescue period) and all the funds actually drawn from the credit facility have already been repaid to the State.
French: Le montant des sommes réellement retirées sur la ligne de crédit est contenu (au total, 223 millions de DKK sur 1000 millions de DKK mis à disposition), la majeure partie relevant en fait du plan de sauvetage (208 millions de DKK sur les 223 millions de DKK retirés l’ont été avant fin 2008, c’est-à-dire pendant la période de sauvetage de six mois), et ces sommes ont déjà été remboursées à l’État.
Danish: De beløb, der faktisk blev trukket på under redningsstøttefaciliteten, var imidlertid begrænsede (der blev trukket 223 mio. DKK af de 1000 mio. DKK, der var til rådighed), størsteparten blev rent faktisk trukket som redningsstøtte (208 mio. DKK af de 223 mio. DKK blev trukket inden udgangen af 2008, dvs. inden for den seksmåneders redningsperiode), og alle de penge, der reelt blev trukket på kreditfaciliteten, er allerede blevet tilbagebetalt til staten.
Greek: Όμως τα ποσά που πράγματι ελήφθησαν κάτω από τη διευκόλυνση ενίσχυσης διάσωσης ήταν περιορισμένα (ελήφθησαν 223 εκατ. DKK από τα 1000 εκατ. DKK που ήταν διαθέσιμα), το μεγαλύτερο μέρος στην πραγματικότητα ελήφθη ως ενίσχυση διάσωσης (208 εκατ. DKK από τα 223 εκατ. DKK ελήφθησαν πριν από το τέλος του 2008, δηλαδή εντός της εξάμηνης περιόδου διάσωσης) και όλα τα χρήματα που πράγματι ελήφθησαν από την πιστωτική διευκόλυνση έχουν ήδη επιστραφεί στο κράτος.
English: The Court has stated that ‘when taking a decision on the compatibility of State aid with the common market, the Commission is not obliged to await the outcome of a parallel procedure initiated under Regulation No [1], once it has reached the conclusion, based on an economic analysis of the situation and without any manifest error in the assessment of the facts, that the recipient of the aid is not in breach of Articles [101 and 102 TFEU]’ [102]. The antitrust case therefore does not have to be formally closed for the Commission to take a decision in the State aid case.
German: Der Gerichtshof stellte Folgendes fest: „Trifft die Kommission eine Entscheidung über die Vereinbarkeit einer staatlichen Beihilfe mit dem Gemeinsamen Markt, so ist sie daher nicht verpflichtet, das Ergebnis eines aufgrund der Verordnung Nr. [1] eingeleiteten Parallelverfahrens abzuwarten, wenn sie aufgrund einer wirtschaftlichen Analyse des Sachverhalts ohne offensichtlichen Beurteilungsfehler zu der Überzeugung gelangt ist, dass der Empfänger der Beihilfe nicht in der Lage ist, den Artikeln [101 und 102 AEUV] zuwiderzuhandeln.“ [102] Der Kartellrechtsfall muss daher nicht förmlich abgeschlossen sein, damit die Kommission einen Beschluss im Fall der staatlichen Beihilfe treffen kann.
English: On those markets, TV2 competes with other broadcasters such as SBS or Viasat, among others. It follows that by favouring TV2, the aid in question distorts or threatens to distort competition on those markets.
French: Sur ces marchés, TV2 est en concurrence avec d’autres sociétés de télévision comme SBS, Viasat, etc. Il en découle que cette aide, en favorisant TV2, génère ou menace de générer une distorsion de la concurrence sur ces marchés.
Spanish: En dichos mercados compite TV2 con empresas como SBS, Viasat, etc. De ello se concluye que esta ayuda, al favorecer a TV2, falsea o amenaza con falsear la competencia en dichos mercados.
Greek: Σε αυτές τις αγορές η TV2 ανταγωνίζεται με άλλες τηλεοπτικές εταιρείες, όπως η SBS, η Viasat κ.λπ. Επομένως, αυτή η ενίσχυση με την ευνοϊκή μεταχείριση στην TV2 στρεβλώνει ή απειλεί να στρεβλώσει τον ανταγωνισμό σε αυτές τις αγορές.
English: However, although the regional channels are still partly funded this way, television licence funding for the main channel ended in July 2004 and only financing via advertising revenues remained. These advertising revenues are currently the only source of income for the main channel, apart from the profits from the commercial channels.
Spanish: Modelo actual de negocios: Antes, la primera cadena de TV2 se financiaba con el canon de televisión y los ingresos publicitarios.
English: has no influence on the chosen TV format, e.g. to ensure coherence with general TV programming on the main channel. Between the national and regional programmes, TV2 transmits advertisements which are directed towards the regional market, and it retains the revenues from advertising.
Spanish: no tiene ninguna influencia en el formato de televisión elegido para, por ejemplo, asegurar la coherencia con la programación general de la cadena principal.
English: TV2’s activities: TV2 is primarily active in broadcasting and in selling TV advertising. It also acquires and sells audiovisual rights on international markets (e.g. Euro 2008 or the Olympic Games) which it can broadcast itself or resell.
Spanish: Actualmente la primera cadena de TV2 es de acceso general (free to air-FTA) gratuito [19].
English: operates almost exclusively on the TV broadcasting market and other media-related markets in Denmark. The TV2 main channel, along with Danmarks Radio (a public undertaking which is exclusively financed by a licence fee and operates two public service channels), is the biggest TV channel. The TV2 main channel currently competes on the TV advertising market with e.g. Viasat’s channels TV3 and TV3+. Viasat is owned by the Swedish Modern Times Group A/S (MTG), which is also active as a distributor in the satellite segment.
Spanish: Actividades de TV2: TV2 es sobre todo activa en transmisiones televisivas y en venta de anuncios de televisión.
English: In such a scenario, TV2 says it will have sufficient financing until 2012, when the subscription payments on the main channel will be implemented [61]. The restructuring plan as such is not withdrawn.
Spanish: alega que, con tal hipótesis, tendrá financiación suficiente hasta 2012, cuando se introduzca el sistema de abonos en la primera cadena [61].
English: Regarding the rescue aid facility still in place, TV2 is currently unable to draw any money from it, because the conditions (certified liquidity need confirmed by an expert) are not met [62]. (68) In the original restructuring plan, Denmark had given a commitment that TV2 would not open any new TV broadcasting channels. That commitment was later clarified to also cover radio channels, but the Danish authorities take the view that this compensatory measure should end when all aid measures are repealed, as they consider this to be the end of the restructuring period [63]. During the Commission’s investigation, the Danish Government decided to put a public service radio channel out to tender [64]. The objective of this new radio channel is to establish competition on the Danish radio market for public service programming which, presently, is dominated by the public broadcaster DR with an almost 80 % audience share. TV2 originally intended to participate in such a tender, in which a bid could be submitted only after aid measures had come to an end.
Spanish: El plan de reestructuración como tal no se retira.
English: claims that its principal activity lies in extensive and expensive public service obligations that govern the enterprise’s main channel. TV2 states that such activity currently accounts for more than […] % of the costs of the main channel. (86) TV2 refers to the political decision that led to the current situation. The Danish Government and the parties that supported the current Media Policy Agreement agreed that under the restructuring plan, public compensation would not be reintroduced for expenses that TV2 bears in discharging its public service obligations. It was decided, on the other hand, to introduce a sustainable market-based business model for TV2 which would ensure that the enterprise could compete on the relevant markets despite its public service obligations, a decision welcomed by TV2. TV2 argues that the most important element in this context is the removal of the previous ban on the levying of user charges for the main public service channel, effective from 1 January 2012.
Spanish: mantiene que su actividad principal la determinan obligaciones amplias y onerosas de servicio público que regulan la primera cadena de la empresa.
English: cannot, in any case, fail to discharge its public service mission, which should be acknowledged when applying the Guidelines or Article 106(2) TFEU. The competition situation
Spanish: mantiene que la ayuda no supone ventajas de explotación o comercialización sino que se limita a garantizar que TV2 utilice las mismas posibilidades de financiación que sus competidores.
Polish: Warunki konkurencji
English: points out that it was not able to obtain any loans from banks and that it was not even easy to get a mortgage for its property in Kvaegtorvet. TV2 points out that the uncertainty resulting inter alia from the open State aid cases has deterred banks from providing the necessary financing.
Spanish: señala que no ha podido obtener préstamos de los bancos y que ni siquiera le fue fácil lograr un crédito hipotecario por sus instalaciones de Kvægtorvet.
Slovak: upozorňuje na to, že nebola schopná získať žiadne pôžičky od bánk a že dokonca nebolo jednoduché získať hypotéku na jej majetok v Kvaegtorvet.
English: considers the duration of the restructuring plan to be appropriate and points out that any improvement in its financial situation will only affect its draws on the credit facility, and not its business model, which should ensure TV2’s profitability in the medium and long term. End-user charges
Spanish: señala que la inseguridad, entre otras cosas, sobre las causas de ayudas estatales interpuestas atemoriza a los bancos, que no prestan la necesaria financiación.
Slovak: poukazuje na to, že neistota vyplývajúca okrem iného z otvorených prípadov štátnej pomoci odstrašila banky od toho, aby jej poskytli potrebné financovanie.
English: Distortion of competition could be remedied by applying Article 101 or 102 TFEU. According to TV2, the end-user charge, among other elements of the restructuring plan, does not entail any distortion of competition on the relevant markets.
Spanish: mantiene que la introducción de un sistema de pago para la primera cadena de servicio público no supone ayuda estatal sino que simplemente da al canal las mismas posibilidades que a sus competidores para utilizar el medio más tradicional de operar en el mercado, que es la posibilidad de cobrar a los usuarios que opten por utilizar sus servicios.
Slovak: tvrdí, že zavedenie koncesionárskych poplatkov za hlavný verejnoprávny kanál služby nepredstavuje štátnu pomoc, ale iba poskytuje kanálu tie isté možnosti ako jeho konkurentom, pokiaľ ide o využívanie najbežnejších prostriedkov pôsobenia na trhu, najmä spoplatňovanie používateľov, ktorí sa rozhodnú využívať jeho služby.
English: As to the arguments of the competitors that TV2 is a profitable company, or could become profitable, the above-mentioned results for TV2 show that the company realised a profit in 2008, but contrary to what Viasat had estimated, it incurred a loss for 2009 of DKK 27 million, which deviated significantly from the Viasat forecast of DKK 249 million in profit. The profit for 2010 is also estimated to be much smaller than that assumed by Viasat.
Spanish: En relación con las alegaciones de la competencia de que TV2 podía ser una empresa rentable, los resultados antes mencionados demuestran que TV2 tenía superávit en 2008 pero que, en contra de las estimaciones de Viasat, en 2009 tuvo pérdidas de 27 millones DKK, cifra que difiere considerablemente del superávit de 249 millones DKK que calcula Viasat.
English: The objective of this new radio channel is to establish competition on the Danish radio market for public service programming which, presently, is dominated by the public broadcaster DR with an almost 80 % audience share. TV2 originally intended to participate in such a tender, in which a bid could be submitted only after aid measures had come to an end.
Estonian: Uue raadiokanali eesmärk on luua avalik-õiguslike programmide vaheline konkurents Taani raadioturul, millest praegu kuulub valdav osa – ligi 80 % kuulajaskonnast – avalik-õiguslikule ringhäälinguettevõttele DR. TV2 kavatses esialgu osaleda nimetatud pakkumismenetluses, milles ta võis oma pakkumise teha alles pärast abimeetmete lõppemist.
English: Denmark considers that the restructuring process complies with the provisions of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU. However, Denmark acknowledges that according to the PWC income projections, the main channel would still be loss-making after the end of the restructuring period [76].
Estonian: Taani leiab, et ümberkorraldusprotsess on kooskõlas ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 3 punktiga c. Taani tunnistab aga, et PWC tuluprognooside kohaselt on põhikanal ka pärast ümberkorraldusperioodi lõppu jätkuvalt kahjumis [76].
