English: In its judgment in Société d’Économie Mixte Olympique d’Alès en Cévennes [132], the Court of Conflicts of Jurisdiction held in particular that ‘although jurisdiction to determine the civil liability of the State or of other legal persons governed by public law in respect of the performance of a duty to provide an administrative public service rests with the administrative courts, such proceedings come under the jurisdiction of the ordinary courts where it is shown that the State or the legal person governed by public law is liable in respect of an industrial or commercial activity; there is no necessity to determine whether the public authority acted as manager de jure or de facto’ (emphasis added). In the case before it the Court of Conflicts of Jurisdiction ruled that the activities conducted by a public limited company with a board of directors and supervisory board (SEM Olympique d’Alès en Cévennes) were not of an administrative public service nature, on the basis of two considerations: the company’s object [133] and its financing [134].
Slovak: V rozhodnutí vo veci Société d’Économie Mixte Olympique d’Alès en Cévennes [132] kompetenčný súd predovšetkým usúdil, že „hoci sú na preskúmanie občianskoprávnej zodpovednosti štátu alebo iných právnických osôb verejného práva z dôvodu plnenia úloh služby v oblasti správy príslušné správne súdy, žaloba v takejto veci patrí do právomoci všeobecných súdov, ak sa zodpovednosť štátu alebo právnickej osoby verejného práva skúma z dôvodu činnosti priemyselnej alebo obchodnej povahy, pričom nie je potrebné rozlišovať, či dotknutá verejná samospráva konala ako riadiaci subjekt de jure alebo de facto.“ (Vložené podčiarknutie.) Kompetenčný súd dospel k tomuto záveru v uvedenej veci tak, že neuznal, že činnosti vykonávané akciovou spoločnosťou s predstavenstvom a dozornou radou (SEM Olympique d'Alès en Cévennes) majú povahu verejnej služby v oblasti správy, na základe dvoch úvah: jednak jej predmetu [133], jednak spôsobu je financovania [134].
English: In accordance with Article 2(1) of the Procedural Regulation, Member States are required to notify in sufficient time ‘any plans to grant new aid’. The change of IFP’s legal form was not formally notified by France, but only pointed out incidentally in the context of other proceedings, and the measure was implemented without the prior approval of the Commission, so that the State aid in question was put into effect by the French Government in breach of Article 108(3) TFEU.
Slovak: V súlade s článkom 2 bodom 1 procesného nariadenia majú členské štáty povinnosť včas notifikovať „každý zámer poskytnutia novej pomoci.“ Keďže Francúzsko neoznámilo zmenu právneho postavenia verejnej inštitúcie IFP formálne, ale len pri príležitosti iného konania, a skutočné vykonávanie opatrenia nebolo podmienené predchádzajúcim schválením Komisiou, francúzska vláda poskytla uvedenú štátnu pomoc v rozpore s článkom 108 ods. 3 ZFEÚ.

English: In the event that the continuity of the public service has to be guaranteed, the French authorities admit that the representative of the State, when exercising the powers conferred by the Law of 16 July 1980, could decide not to sell certain assets needed to perform a public service task. This failure to sell certain assets would then be reflected, if the State did not pay compensation, in lower proceeds from the assets and a corresponding reduction in the amounts recoverable by creditors.
Slovenian: če bi bilo treba zagotoviti kontinuiteto javne službe, francoski organi priznavajo, da bi predstavnik države pri izvajanju pooblastil, dodeljenih z zakonom z dne 16. julija 1980, lahko odločil, da se nekatera sredstva, potrebna za izpolnjevanje naloge javne službe, ne prodajo, Če država ne bi poskrbela za nadomestilo, bi bila posledica neprodaje določenega premoženja manjše unovčenje sredstev in torej zmanjšanje zneskov, ki bi lahko bili povrnjeni upnikom.
English: As specified in recitals 94 to 96 of decision C 56/2007, to which the Commission refers mutatis mutandis, the French authorities propose clarifying the interpretation of the Law of 16 July 1980 by amending the fourth subparagraph of Article 3(1) of the Decree implementing the Law [48]. The proposed amendment is intended, they say, to dispel any misgivings concerning the scope of the expression ‘shall do so’ (y pourvoit) in the organisation of the supervisory power conferred on the prefect or on the supervising authority; the prefect or supervising authority would now have to release resources from the budget of the regional or local authority or the establishment concerned [49]. According to the French authorities, this proposal would prevent the representative of the State, when exercising his supervisory power, from increasing the resources of the authority or establishment concerned by means of a subsidy from the State or an injection of public resources.
Slovenian: Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah od 94 do 96 zgoraj navedenega sklepa C 56/2007, na katere se Komisija smiselno sklicuje, francoski organi predlagajo, da pojasnijo razlago zakona z dne 16. julija 1980 s spremembo četrtega odstavka člena 3-1 odloka o izvajanju zakona [48]: Predlagana sprememba naj bi po njihovem mnenju odpravila vse dvome o obsegu izraza „za to poskrbi“ pri urejanju pooblastila za nadzor, dodeljenega prefektu ali nadzornemu organu, ker morata ta odslej zagotoviti sredstva v okviru proračuna skupnosti ali osebe javnega prava [49]: Ta predlog naj bi po mnenju francoskih organov izključeval možnost, da predstavnik države pri izvajanju pooblastila za nadzor poveča sredstva skupnosti ali osebe javnega prava s subvencijo države ali vložkom javnih sredstev.
English: Although it is unlikely at present, it cannot be ruled out that IFP might experience such a shortage of assets in the longer term. In such circumstances, the fact that resources cannot be mobilised by selling assets means that use has to be made of other guarantee mechanisms (advances, efforts to establish a liability on the part of the State, etc.).
Slovenian: Čeprav tak finančni položaj nezadostnosti sredstev za osebo javnega prava IFP za zdaj ni verjeten, je to mogoče na daljši rok.
English: Questioned on this point, the French authorities indicated in their letter dated 26 November 2010 that they did not have any information on the premiums charged on the market to cover the specific risks in the field of R&D. The Commission considers, however, that the premium which would be required by the market to cover such a risk (limited to best efforts in research, and therefore less than the risk attached to full performance without defects) should logically be lower than the maximum estimates mentioned in recital 223.
Slovenian: Francoski organi so v odgovoru v zvezi s tem v dopisu z dne 26. novembra 2010 navedli, da tudi oni nimajo podatkov o stopnjah premij, zahtevanih na trgu za kritje posebnih tveganj na področju R & R. Vendar Komisija meni, da bi morala biti premija, ki bi bila zahtevana na trgu za kritje takega tveganja (omejenega na „kar najboljšo izvedbo“ raziskav in torej manjšega od tveganja pri „dobri izvedbi“ pogodbe), vsekakor nižja od najvišjih ocen iz uvodne izjave 223.
English: Because IFP’s change of legal form took place on 7 July 2006, the date on which the State granted the unlimited guarantee in question is prior to 1 January 2007, when the R&D&I Framework entered into force. In accordance with the notice on the determination of the applicable rules for the assessment of unlawful State aid [242], therefore, the Commission will consider the compatibility of this non-notified measure on the basis of the 1996 R&D Framework, which was in force at the time the aid was granted.
Slovenian: Ker je oseba javnega prava IFP status spremenila 7. julija 2006, je država zadevno neomejeno državno poroštvo dodelila pred 1. januarjem 2007, ko je začel veljati zgoraj navedeni okvir R & R & I. Zato bo Komisija pri preučitvi združljivosti navedenega ukrepa v skladu z Obvestilom o določitvi pravil, ki se uporabljajo za oceno nezakonite državne pomoči [242], pri navedeni nepriglašeni pomoči uporabila okvir Skupnosti za državno pomoč za raziskave in razvoj iz leta 1996, ki je bil veljaven ob odobritvi pomoči.
English: It was aimed at validating concepts, and constituted industrial research within the meaning of the 1996 R&D framework and the R&D&I Framework. Annual summaries of each project were forwarded to the Commission with the annual reports communicated under decision C 51/2005.
Slovenian: Njihov cilj je bil potrditev zamisli, spadale pa so med industrijske raziskave v smislu okvira za R & R iz leta 1996 in okvira R & R & I. Komisiji so bili predloženi letni povzetki za vsak posamezni projekt in letna poročila, poslana v okviru zgoraj navedene pomoči C 51/2005.
English: The 1996 R&D Framework and the R&D&I Framework require that State aid have an incentive effect, i.e. result in the recipient changing its behaviour so that it increases its level of R&D (and innovation). The following criteria are generally sufficient to demonstrate the existence of an incentive effect for projects in receipt of aid below the thresholds for a detailed assessment: an increase in the size of the project, an increase in its scope, an increase in its speed and an increase in the total sum allocated to R&D&I.
Slovenian: Državne pomoči morajo imeti na podlagi okvira R & R iz leta 1996 in okvira R & R & I spodbujevalni učinek, tj. prejemnika pomoči morajo spodbuditi k temu, da spremeni svoje ravnanje, tako da poveča svojo raven dejavnosti na področju R & R (ter inovacij).
English: Certain competitors enjoy a far more comfortable competitive position than that of the IFP group: UOP, for example, possesses a world market share in the order of 57 % in terms of value, compared to only 7 % for the IFP group. The Commission therefore considers that the State aid granted to the R&D projects conducted by the IFP group is not, by its nature or proportions, such as to impair the dynamic incentives of the refining technologies market.
Slovenian: V zvezi s tem ugotavlja, da so nekateri tekmeci v veliko ugodnejšem konkurenčnem položaju kot skupina IFP, pri čemer ima na primer skupina UOP Limited 57-odstotni svetovni tržni delež po vrednosti, skupina IFP pa ima samo 7-odstotnega.
English: As amended by Law No 2010-788 of 12 July 2010 on national commitment to the environment (Article 277), Article 512-17 of the Environmental Code provides: ‘Where the operator is a subsidiary within the meaning of Article L. 233-1 of the Commercial Code and compulsory winding up has been initiated or ordered against it, the liquidator, the prosecution service or the representative of the State in the département may ask the court which has initiated or ordered the compulsory winding up to find that the parent company has committed a serious fault which has contributed to the subsidiary having insufficient assets and, if it is shown that such a fault has been committed, to make the parent company liable for all or part of the financing of the rehabilitation measures of the site or sites to be taken out of operation’ (emphasis added). As regards the causal relationship, see: Paris, 15 January 1999, Bull. Joly 1999.
Slovenian: V različici, ki izhaja iz zakona št. 2010-788 z dne 12. julija 2010 o nacionalni okoljski zavezi (glej člen 277), člen L.512-17 okoljskega zakonika določa: „Kadar je izvajalec dejavnosti hčerinska družba v smislu člena L.233-1 trgovinskega zakonika in se je proti njemu začel postopek sodne likvidacije, lahko likvidacijski upravitelj, državno tožilstvo ali zastopnik države v departmaju zadevo predloži sodišču, ki je začelo sodno likvidacijo, da bi to ugotovilo obstoj resne krivde, ki jo je storila matična družba in je prispevala k nezadostnosti sredstev hčerinske družbe, in da bi od sodišča zahteval, naj v primeru ugotovitve take krivde matični družbi naloži celotno ali delno financiranje ukrepov sanacije lokacije ali lokacij, ki prenehajo delovati.“ (poudarek dodan) V zvezi z vzročno zvezo glej: Pariz, 15. januar 1999, Bull. Joly 1999.
English: firstly, ‘IFP/Axens’ is not a State body with unlimited resources at its disposal; moreover, there is no proof that this entity is perceived as such on the market (6.2.1); secondly, IFP’s EPIC status confers no market advantage on Axens (6.2.2).
Swedish: För det andra ger den offentliga institutionen IFP:s ställning som offentlig institution av industriellt och kommersiellt slag inte Axens någon fördel på marknaden (6.2.2).
English: The Commission is not in any event bound by the description of the measure as a ‘guarantee’ for purposes of French law, or by the fact that a guarantee is or is not caught by the Organic Law governing the Finance Act.
Swedish: Kommissionen anser i vilket fall som helst att denna förekomst inte är knuten till att åtgärden har klassificerats som en garanti i fransk lagstiftning och inte heller till att det är fråga om en garanti som omfattas av grundlagen om finanslagstiftning.
English: The only relevant consideration is how the measure is to be described for purposes of Union law.
Swedish: Det enda som är relevant är hur åtgärden klassificeras enligt unionsrätten, där det erkänns att det är fråga om en underförstådd garanti när en medlemsstat är rättsligt skyldig att betala en annan persons skuld om den personen inte kan göra det.
English: As the Commission expert explained in the postal case, in some commercial forms of enterprise, and in particular public limited companies (SAs) or private limited companies (SARLs), the members are not normally speaking obliged to pay the debts of the organisation in which they take part to an amount beyond their initial contribution. IFP’s subsidiaries are public limited companies and fall squarely into this category.
Swedish: Som kommissionens expert har förklarat i La Poste-ärendet är delägarna i vissa kommersiella företag, bl.a. publika och privata aktiebolag, normalt inte skyldiga att betala skulderna hos den organisation som de är delägare i utöver sin inledande till just denna kategori.
English: This information shows that, since 2006, the average annual amount invoiced by IFP to its subsidiaries is in the order of EUR […] (*) for the staff provided and EUR […] (*) for the costs of premises and ancillary services (frais de domiciliation).
Swedish: Enligt dessa uppgifter uppgick det årliga beloppet som IFP internfakturerade sina dotterbolag till i genomsnitt […] (*) euro för utstationerad personal och […] (*) euro för resor och uppehälle.
English: The judgment states that (Commission translation) ‘[The French Government] considers that only objective reasons concerned exclusively with its being materially impossible for the commune to release sufficient resources have delayed the complete enforcement of the judgments … The Government therefore maintains that the non-enforcement of the judgments given is not the result of a deliberate refusal to enforce them on the part of the national authorities, State or commune. The absence of funds is not a pretext, but a reality due to the insolvency of the debtor legal person … The non-payment of the debt is due entirely to the commune’s financial difficulties, and these circumstances do not appear to be such as either to release the authority from its obligations or to transfer the burden of its debt to the State (Council of State, commune of Batz-sur-Mer, 25 September 1970). There is no legal basis under national law for substituting the State for the commune where the payment of compensation is concerned.
Swedish: I domen kan man läsa att ”[den franska regeringen] anser att endast objektiva skäl som uteslutande berör kommunens faktiska oförmåga att frigöra tillräckliga medel har försenat det komplicerade verkställandet av domstolsavgörandena”, ”regeringen vidhåller alltså att den uteblivna verkställigheten av domstolsavgörandena inte beror på att de nationella, statliga eller kommunala myndigheterna frivilligt har avstått från att vidta åtgärder. Avsaknaden av medel är inte en förevändning utan en faktisk omständighet på grund av likviditetsbristen hos den skuldsatta offentligrättsliga juridiska personen.””Den uteblivna verkställigheten av skulden beror uteslutande på kommunens ekonomiska svårigheter och dessa omständigheter förefaller inte vara av sådant slag att kommunen undslipper sina skyldigheter och inte heller att ansvaret för denna skuld överförs till staten (CE, kommunen Batz sur Mer, den 25 september 1970). I den inhemska rätten finns ingen rättslig grund för att låta staten träda in i en kommuns ställe för att reglera dess skulder. Ett sådant övertagande skulle inte längre kunna baseras på artikel 6.1 i konventionen eftersom en sådan lösning skulle strida mot själva begreppet juridisk person, som förutsätter ett oberoende och egna tillgångar.”
English: Nor can Article 6-1 of the Convention form the basis of any such substitution in so far as a solution of that kind would be contrary to the very concept of legal personality, which presupposes autonomy and a distinct set of assets’. [95] (Commission translation) ‘That is why no arrangements to soften the blow have been made under national law to confront a situation of default on the part of the commune The State cannot offload its obligation to implement judicial decisions by invoking the absence of funds or the autonomy of regional or local authorities – an autonomy that it has not been able to guarantee to date, since the commune is in no position to pay its debts. The applicants therefore denounce the State’s incapacity to adopt positive measures that would have enabled the commune to contribute in accordance with its obligation … The applicants note that, in its judgment of 18 November 2005, the Council of State held that the legislature intended to give the representative of the State, in the event of a local or regional authority’s not being able to implement a judicial decision, the power to take the place of that authority’s decision-making bodies in order to release or create the resources enabling the judicial decision concerned to be fully implemented. It is on the basis of these omissions on the part of the French State that the applicants demand both acknowledgement of Article 6-1’s having been breached and the resulting compensation – an initiative that no more contradicts the concept of legal personality than it does the concepts of independence and of a distinct set of assets’.
Swedish: ”Det föreskrivs inga mildrande åtgärder i den inhemska rätten för att hantera situationen när en kommun ställer in betalningarna.””Staten kan inte avsäga sig sin skyldighet att verkställa domstolsavgöranden genom att hänvisa till avsaknaden av medel eller offentliga institutioners autonomi, som den hittills inte har kunnat garantera eftersom kommunen inte är i stånd att betala sina skulder. De klagande hänvisar alltså till statens oförmåga att vidta positiva åtgärder som skulle ha gjort det möjligt för kommunen att uppfylla sin betalningsskyldighet.””De klagande konstaterar att Conseil dÉtat i sin dom av den 18 november 2005 ansåg att lagstiftaren hade haft för avsikt att ge statens representant befogenhet att träda in i en lokal myndighets ställa för att frigöra eller skapa resurser som gör det möjligt att fullt ut verkställa det rättsliga avgörandet, om denna myndighet inte kan garantera verkställandet av ett lagakraftvunnet betalningsföreläggande. Det är på grund av den franska statens egen uraktlåtenhet som de klagande begär att det ska fastställas att artikel 6.1 har överträtts och att ett skadestånd ska utdömas för detta, vilket inte strider mot begreppet juridisk person och inte heller mot begreppen oberoende och egna tillgångar.”
