I oktober 2006 havde ca. 40 tv-kanaler fået bevilget licens til at sende via det digitale jordnet.
In October 2006, approximately 40 television channels were granted a licence to broadcast in the digital terrestrial network.
En af de fem multiplexere er forbeholdt SVT, en anden anvendes i øjeblikket fortrinsvis af TV4, og de resterende deles af de andre licensindehavere.
One of the five multiplexes is reserved for SVT, a second one is currently mainly devoted to TV4 and the remaining multiplexes are shared among the other licence holders.
Markedsføringen af det digitale jordnet over for forbrugerne
The marketing of the digital terrestrial network to consumers
Boxer har ansvaret for abonnentbasen, dvs. for markedsføringen af tilbuddet om betalings-tv over den jordbaserede digitale platform over for slutbrugerne.
Boxer is responsible for the subscriber base — that is, for marketing the pay television offer on the digital terrestrial platform to end customers.
Ifølge regeringen er Teracom og Boxer udsat for knivskarp konkurrence fra andre transmissionsplatforme, f.eks. satellitoperatører.
According to the Government, Teracom and Boxer face fierce competition from other transmission platforms such as satellite operators.
Det var derfor vanskeligt for Boxer, at opkræve fuld pris for en digitalboks, samtidig med at den søgte at styrke sin stilling og opbygge en kundebase.
This made it difficult for Boxer, while trying to establish itself and build up a customer base, to charge customers the full cost of a set-top box.
Efter at den jordbaserede digitale platform var blevet lanceret, tilbød Boxer derfor sine kunder digitalbokse til en lavere pris og fik omkostningerne dækket ind over hele abonnementsperioden.
After the launch of the digital terrestrial platform, Boxer therefore offered set-top boxes to customers at a low price and recovered the costs over the entire subscription contract period.
Dette forklarer, hvorfor Boxer led store tab i den indledende fase af sin virksomhed.
This explains why Boxer suffered substantial losses in the initial phase of its operations.
Da Boxer led tab, fik det et kapitalindskud på lige vilkår af sine to moderselskaber: 70 % fra Teracom og 30 % fra Skandia.
When Boxer was making losses, it received a capital injection on equal terms from both its parent companies: 70 % from Teracom and 30 % from Skandia.
Sveriges public service-tv og dets finansiering
Swedish public service television and its funding
I henhold til svensk lov skal alle husstande, som ejer et fjernsynsapparat, betale fjernsynslicens.
According to Swedish law, each household that owns a television set must pay a television licence fee.
Indtægterne fra fjernsynslicenserne anvendes til at finansiere public service-radio- og tv-selskaberne i Sverige.
The money from the television licence fee finances the public service companies (television and radio) in Sweden.
Fjernsynslicensen opkræves af et aktieselskab, som ejes af de svenske public service-radio- og tv-selskaber: Radiotjänst i Kiruna AB (»Rikab«).
The television licence fee is collected by an entity jointly owned by all the Swedish radio and television public service companies: Radiotjänst i Kiruna AB (‘Rikab’).
Rikab overfører de indsamlede midler til en særlig konto i Riksgäldskontoret (finansforvaltningen), den såkaldte »rundradiokonto«.
Rikab transfers the money it collects to a specific account with the Swedish National Debt Office (‘Riksgäldskontoret’), the so-called ‘rundradiokontot’.
På grundlag af SVT's aktiviteter og de eventuelle ændringer af eller tilføjelser til public service-tjenesterne, som regeringen ønsker foretaget, fastsætter Riksdagen hvert år det beløb, som skal bevilges SVT til dets public service-virksomhed.
On the basis of SVT's activities and any changes or additions that the Government wishes to add to the public service obligations, Parliament decides each year on the amount the company will have at its disposal for the performance of its public service duties.
SVT anvender de bevilgede midler til at udøve sine public service-aktiviteter i overensstemmelse med sendelicensen og bevillingsvilkårene.
SVT uses the money allocated to it to perform its public service activities, as detailed in the broadcasting licence and the conditions of funding.
SVT bestemmer selv, hvor stor en del af de bevilgede midler der skal anvendes til programvirksomhed, og hvor meget der skal anvendes til distribution af programmer (f.eks. betaling af transmissionsgebyrer til Teracom).
Out of the allocated money, SVT decides itself how much should be used for, e.g., programme activities and how much should be spent on distribution of programmes (e.g., transmission fee payments to Teracom).
Under overgangen til jordbaseret digital tv-transmission vil der parallelt blive sikret jordbaseret analog og digital transmission for at give seerne tid til at gå over til den nye modtagelsesform.
During the digital terrestrial switchover, analogue and digital terrestrial transmissions will be broadcast in parallel to give viewers time to switch to the new reception mode.
For at undgå en betydelig forhøjelse af fjernsynslicensen på grund af SVT's øgede omkostninger i forbindelse med den parallelle transmission besluttede staten at indføre en alternativ finansieringsmekanisme til dækning af disse omkostninger.
To prevent the higher costs incurred by SVT because of these parallel transmissions leading to a significant increase in the television licence fee collected from television set owners, the State decided to implement an alternative financing mechanism to cover the costs.
Med henblik herpå blev der åbnet en separat konto i Riksgäldskontoret i 2002, den såkaldte distributionskonto.
To this end, a separate account was opened with the National Debt Office in 2002, the so-called ‘distribution account’ (‘distributionskontot’).
Distributionskontoen finansieres af midler fra rundradiokontoen og ved en kreditfacilitet bevilget af Riksgäldskontoret.
The distribution account is financed by money from the rundradiokontot and through a credit facility granted by the National Debt Office.
Der overføres derefter penge fra distributionskontoen til SVT til betaling for transmission via jordnettet.
From the distribution account money is then transferred to SVT to pay for terrestrial transmission.
I de første år var distributionskontoen negativ, da det beløb, som blev overført dertil fra rundradiokontoen, var mindre end det beløb, der blev overført fra distributionskontoen til SVT til betaling af transmissionsgebyrerne.
For the first few years, the distribution account is running a deficit because the amount of money which is transferred to it from the rundradiokontot is less than the amount which is transferred from it to SVT for transmission payments.
Forskellen mellem det beløb, som distributionskontoen modtager fra rundradiokontoen, og det beløb, SVT skal have i transmissionsgebyr, dækkes af en kredit, som er bevilget af Riksgäldskontoret.
The difference between what the distribution account receives from the rundradiokontot and the money which SVT needs for transmission payments is covered by the credit granted by the National Debt Office.
Når det analoge jordnet er blevet afviklet, og SVT ikke længere behøver at betale for parallel transmission af analoge og digitale jordbaserede signaler, vil overførslerne fra distributionskontoen til SVT blive mindre, og underskuddet på distributionskontoen vil gradvis blive dækket ind.
Once the analogue terrestrial network is switched off and SVT no longer needs to pay for the parallel transmission of analogue and digital terrestrial signals, the transfers from the distribution account to SVT will be reduced and the deficit on the distribution account will be paid off gradually.
Man har beregnet, at alle udgifter til parallel transmission vil være fuldstændig dækket ind senest i 2013, hvor distributionskontoen igen vil balancere.
It is estimated that all costs for parallel transmission will be fully recovered by 2013, when the distribution account will be in balance again.
I henhold til bevillingsvilkårene er der ingen begrænsninger for, hvordan SVT anvender og fordeler pengene fra rundradiokontoen og distributionskontoen, forudsat at pengene udelukkende anvendes til SVT's public service-virksomhed i overensstemmelse med sendelicensen og bevillingsvilkårene.
According to the conditions of funding, SVT appears in no way to be restricted in how it uses and allocates the amount given to it from the rundradiokontot and the distribution account — on condition that the money is used solely for its public service activities as detailed in the broadcasting licence and the conditions of funding.
Public service-tv-virksomhed via jordnettet: SVT's betalinger til Teracom for transmissionstjenester
Public service broadcasting in the terrestrial network: SVT's payments to Teracom for transmission services
En del af den finansiering, som SVT modtager, anvendes til at købe jordbaserede transmissionstjenester fra Teracom.
Part of the funding SVT receives is used to purchase terrestrial transmission services from Teracom.
SVT og Teracom forhandler om prisen på disse tjenester uden regeringens indblanding.
The price of those services is negotiated between SVT and Teracom without the involvement of the Government.
Ifølge regeringen og Teracoms årsregnskaber behandler Teracom alle tv-selskaber ens (likabehandlingsprincipen) ved fastsættelsen af sine gebyrer for analog og digital transmission.
According to the Government and the Annual Reports of Teracom, Teracom applies a principle of ‘equal treatment’ (‘likabehandlingsprincipen’) towards all broadcasters with regard to its fees for analogue and digital transmission.
Fra 1992 til december 2005 var Teracom forpligtet til at beregne priserne for analog jordbaseret transmission på grundlag af kostprisen (självkostnadskalkyl).
With regard to analogue terrestrial transmission, Teracom was, from 1992 until December 2005, required to set its prices at cost level (‘självkostnadskalkyl’).
SVT's betalinger til Teracom er som regel forudfastsat for flere år ad gangen ved aftaler, som forhandles mellem de to selskaber.
SVT's actual payments to Teracom are usually fixed for several years in advance in agreements negotiated between the two companies.
I henhold til den nuværende aftale er SVT's betalinger til Teracom i perioden fra 2004 til 2013 bl.a. baseret på tidsplanen for afviklingen af det analoge jordbaserede net.
According to the current agreement, SVT's payments to Teracom for the period from 2004 until 2013 are based, inter alia, on the planned timetable for the switch-off of the analogue terrestrial network.
Hvis Riksdagen beslutter at ændre denne tidsplan, kan betalingerne justeres.
If Parliament decides to change this timetable, the payments may be adjusted.
Teracoms anvendelse af ligebehandlingsprincippet for jordbaseret digital transmission giver sig udslag i, at samtlige tv-selskaber (inklusive SVT) siden 1999 afkræves gebyr efter samme prismodel: den såkaldte penetrationsbaserede prissætning.
With regard to digital terrestrial transmission, Teracom's application of the principle of equal treatment is reflected in the fact that, since 1999, all broadcasters (including SVT) have been charged according to the same pricing model, the so-called penetration-based pricing model (‘penetrationsbaserad prissättning’).
Bortset fra visse faste gebyrer pr. kanal, nemlig grundgebyr og tilslutningsgebyr, betaler tv-selskaberne således et variabelt gebyr, som afhænger af deres respektive antal seere (dvs. penetrationen).
This means that, apart from certain fixed fees per channel, i.e., a basic fee (‘grundavgift’) and a connection fee (‘anslutningsförbindelser’), the broadcasters are charged a variable fee which is proportionate to their respective number of viewers (i.e., penetration).
Det variable gebyr pr. seer er det samme for alle kanaler.
The amount per viewer of this variable fee is the same for all channels.
Ligebehandlingsprincippet dæmper Teracoms prispolitik over for SVT og garanterer, at SVT ikke betaler mere for digital jordbaseret transmission end de andre tv-selskaber — for de samme tjenester.
The principle of equal treatment constrains Teracom's pricing behaviour towards SVT and guarantees that SVT does not pay more for digital terrestrial transmission than the other broadcasters — to the extent the services required are the same.
Ligebehandlingsprincippet er for nylig blevet bekræftet i regeringens budgetforslag 2005/06.
The principle of equal treatment has recently been re-confirmed in the Government's budget bill 2005/06.
Detaljeret beskrivelse af de påståede støtteforanstaltninger
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ALLEGED AID MEASURES
De foranstaltninger, der vurderes i denne beslutning, er:
The measures assessed in this Decision are the following:
indirekte økonomisk støtte til Teracom i form af uforholdsmæssigt høje transmissionsgebyrer, som SVT skulle have betalt for Teracoms transmissionstjenester via det analoge og det digitale jordnet
indirect financial support to Teracom through allegedly excessive transmission fees paid by SVT in return for Teracom's transmission services provided on both the analogue and the digital terrestrial network;
direkte økonomisk støtte til Teracom i form af en statsgaranti og
direct financial support by means of a State credit guarantee granted to Teracom; and
direkte økonomisk støtte i form af et betinget aktionærindskud (»villkorat aktieägartillskott«), som Teracom skal betale tilbage.
direct financial support in the form of a conditional shareholder contribution (‘villkorat aktieägartillskott’), to be repaid by Teracom.
SVT's betalinger af transmissionsgebyr til Teracom
SVT's transmission fee payments to Teracom
På grundlag af de oplysninger, som Kommissionen rådede over, da proceduren blev indledt, havde den grund til at tro, at regeringen brugte SVT som et redskab til at kanalisere statsmidler til Teracom i forbindelse med overgangen fra analogt til digitalt jordbaseret tv.
On the basis of the information available to it at the time of the opening Decision, the Commission had reason to believe that the Government used SVT as a vehicle to channel State money to Teracom during the switch-over from analogue to digital terrestrial television.
Ifølge de foreliggende oplysninger havde SVT fået tildelt midler til transmission, som kumuleret i perioden 2002 til 2003 overstiger Teracoms forventede omkostninger til transmission af SVT's kanaler.
According to the available information, SVT had been allocated funding for transmission which, cumulated over the period from 2002 to 2013, would exceed Teracom's expected costs of transmitting SVT's channels.
Det overstigende beløb synes at andrage ca. 509,61 mio. SEK i 2013 (se tabel 2 nedenfor).
The excess funding appeared to amount to approximately SEK 509,61 million by 2013 (see below).
Som det fremgår af beslutningen om at indlede proceduren, var Kommissionen også bekymret over, at de midler, som blev bevilget SVT til dækning af dets transmissionsgebyrer, automatisk blev overført til Teracom.
As set out in the opening Decision, the Commission was also concerned that the funding allocated to SVT to cover its transmission payments was automatically transferred to Teracom.
Hvis Teracoms betingelser for levering af transmissionstjenester til SVT ikke var sammenlignelige med betingelserne for en normal markedstransaktion, kunne eventuelle betalinger udover markedsprisen vække mistanke om en eventuel skjult støtte til fordel for Teracom.
Should Teracom's terms and conditions for the provision of transmission services to SVT not be comparable to those of a normal market transaction, any payments in excess of the market price could raise concerns of possible disguised aid in favour of Teracom.
De oplysninger, som Kommissionen rådede over, da proceduren blev indledt, tydede på, at SVT's transmissionsgebyrer til Teracom var lavere end Teracoms omkostninger i forbindelse med transmissionen af SVT (jf. kolonne 5 i tabel 2).
The information at the Commission's disposal at the time of the opening Decision suggested that, up to 2007, SVT's transmission fee payments to Teracom would be lower than Teracom's costs of transmitting SVT (visible from column 5 in Table 2).
Oplysningerne syntes imidlertid at vise, at fra 2008, når det analoge jordnet er blevet afviklet, og SVT ikke længere er forpligtet til parallelt at sikre analog og digital transmission, vil SVT's årlige betalinger til Teracom være betydeligt højere end Teracoms omkostninger til transmission af SVT. Fra 2008 til 2013 ville SVT således årligt betale Teracom betydeligt mere end Teracoms transmissions-omkostninger.
As of 2008, however, when the analogue terrestrial network will be switched off and SVT will no longer be obliged to make parallel transmissions in analogue and digital mode, the information suggested that SVT's annual payments would exceed Teracom's costs of transmitting SVT: from 2008 until 2013, SVT would, every year, pay Teracom considerably in excess of its transmission costs.
Det anslås, at SVT's betalinger i 2013 vil være 2,3 gange højere end Teracoms transmissionsomkostninger.
In 2013, SVT's payments were estimated at 2,3 times the size of its transmission costs.
Disse betalinger vil rigeligt dække Teracoms oprindelige tab og vil give Teracom en kumuleret fortjeneste på 509,61 mio. pr. 2013.
Such payments would more than offset Teracom's initial losses and would allow Teracom a cumulated profit of SEK 509,61 million by 2013.
Kommissionen tvivlede på, at denne fortjeneste kunne være opnået på normale markedsbetingelser, og frygtede, at den kunne udgøre statsstøtte til fordel for Teracom (se nr. 32 i beslutningen om at indlede proceduren).
The Commission had doubts that this profit would be the result of normal market conditions and was concerned that the profit might constitute State aid in favour of Teracom (see the opening Decision, paragraph 32).

Statsgarantien til fordel for Teracom
The State guarantee issued in favour of Teracom
På grundlag af de oplysninger, der forelå ved indledningen af proceduren, havde Kommissionen grund til at nære mistanke om, at der var udstedt en kreditgaranti til fordel for Teracom, eller at en sådan i det mindste stod til Teracoms rådighed.
On the basis of the information available at the time of the opening Decision, the Commission had reason to suspect that a credit guarantee was issued in favour of, or at least was available to, Teracom.
I 2001 var prognoserne for Teracoms solvens ikke særlig optimistiske, især på grund af Teracoms investeringer i jordbaseret digitalt tv, og det ventedes, at solvensen fortsat ville blive forringet.
During 2001, for reasons mainly related to Teracom's investments in digital terrestrial television, the predictions concerning Teracom's solvency were not very optimistic and it was expected that its solvency would continue to fall.
Der var derfor alvorlig risiko for, at Teracom ikke alene ville få problemer med at opfylde sine forpligtelser i henhold til aftalen om transmission af SVT's og TV4's programmer, men også ville mangle ressourcer til at udvikle og drive det digitale jordnet i sin helhed.
As a consequence, there was a serious risk that Teracom would not only fail to respect its contracts for the transmission of SVT and TV4's programmes but also have no means for developing and operating the digital terrestrial network as a whole.
Der var desuden risiko for, at Teracom ikke kunne opfylde sine forpligtelser over for sine kreditorer.
In addition, there was a risk that Teracom would not be able to honour its creditors.
I et regeringsforslag fra november 2001 blev det anbefalet, at der blev givet Teracom en kreditgaranti på højst 2 mia. SEK (ca. 210 mio. EUR).
A Government proposal of November 2001 recommended that a credit guarantee amounting to a maximum of SEK 2000 million (approximately €210 million) be given to Teracom.
Teracom skulle betale et gebyr til dækning af risici og administrative omkostninger i forbindelse med garantien, som var tidsbegrænset.
Teracom would be charged a fee to cover the risks and administrative costs involved in granting the guarantee and the guarantee was limited in time.
Forslaget blev godkendt af Riksdagen i februar 2002.
This proposal was approved by Parliament in February 2002.
I henhold til de oplysninger som Kommissionen havde til rådighed ved indledningen af proceduren, besluttede regeringen, da forslaget var blevet godkendt, at udstede en kreditgaranti til Teracom.
According to the information available to the Commission at the time of the opening Decision, subsequent to the approval, the Government took a decision to issue a credit guarantee in favour of Teracom.
Kommissionen forklarer anvendelsen af artikel 87, stk. 1, i EF-traktaten på kredit-garantier, der ydes af en medlemsstat, i sin meddelelse om anvendelsen af EF-traktatens artikel 87 og 88 angående statsstøtte i form af garantier (meddelelsen om garantier).
The Commission explains the application of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty to credit guarantees granted by a Member State in its Notice on State aid in the form of guarantees (the ‘Notice on Guarantees’).
I henhold til afsnit 4 i meddelelsen om garantier udgør en individuel statsgaranti ikke statsstøtte efter artikel 87, stk. 1, hvis en række betingelser alle er opfyldt.
According to section 4 of the Notice on Guarantees, only the fulfilment of all of a number of conditions ensures that an individual State guarantee does not constitute State aid under Article 87(1).
Ud fra baggrunden for kreditgarantien og grunden til, at den blev udstedt — som forklaret i beslutningen om at indlede proceduren (Teracoms dårlige finansielle stilling og faldende solvens) — havde Kommissionen grund til at formode, at betingelserne i afsnit 4 i meddelelsen om garantier ikke var opfyldt, og at den pågældende statsgaranti udgjorde statsstøtte til Teracom.
On the basis of the background to the credit guarantee and the reasons for the decision to issue a guarantee — as explained in the opening Decision (Teracom's poor financial situation and falling solvency), the Commission had reason to believe that the conditions set out in section 4 of the Notice on Guarantees might not have been fulfilled and that the credit guarantee constituted State aid to Teracom.
Kapitalindskuddet
The capital injection
Ud fra de oplysninger om Teracoms finansielle stilling, der forelå ved indledningen af proceduren, kunne Kommissionen ikke udelukke, at det betingede aktionærindskud i form af et kapitalindskud udgjorde statsstøtte.
On the basis of information concerning Teracom's financial position available at the time of the opening Decision, the Commission could not exclude that the conditional shareholder contribution in the form of a capital injection constituted State aid to Teracom.
Skønt Teracom var begyndt at omorganisere hele koncernens aktiviteter i 2002 for at forbedre sin finansielle stilling, og skønt salgsprognoserne var blevet bedre, led Teracom stadig tab, og selskabets solvens var stadig faldende.
Although Teracom had started a reorganisation of the entire Group's activities in 2002 to improve its financial situation and sales forecasts were improving, Teracom still made losses and its solvency kept falling.
