Kommissionen har beregnet den rente, der ville have været tilgængelig på markedet, på grundlag af de oplysninger, som Spanien har fremlagt vedrørende de kommercielle lån, som ADIF faktisk optog i den omhandlede periode.
The Commission considers that the aid is proportionate if the same result could not be achieved with less aid.
Kommissionen anerkender imidlertid, at resultatet af beregningen kan være påvirket af eksistensen af andre lån, om hvilke den ikke har modtaget oplysninger.
The Spanish authorities notified the project as being in line with the R & D&I Framework, which indicates that the maximum aid intensity allowed for covering investments in research infrastructures used for economic purposes is limited to the net extra costs up to a cap of 60 % of the eligible costs (point 89 of the R & D&I Framework).
Med henblik på at beregne forskellen mellem de renter, der faktisk er fastsat for lånene til ADIF, og markedsrenten, og dermed det støtteelement, der skal tilbagesøges, har Spanien en periode på to måneder fra datoen for vedtagelsen af denne afgørelse til at forelægge Kommissionen dokumentation for andre kommercielle lån, som ADIF har optaget i den omhandlede periode.
In the present case, the public support will cover 100 % of the costs.
Spanien skal derfor fra ADIF tilbagesøge både de forhåndstilskud, som faktisk er blevet udbetalt og endnu ikke er blevet tilbagebetalt af ADIF, og det støtteelement, der indgår i de lån, der blev ydet i 2011, 2012 og 2013, og som — uden at det berører ovennævnte mulighed — svarer til forskellen mellem renten på lånet og markedsrenten anført i tabel 6 ovenfor (jf. betragtning 75 ovenfor).
Due to the absence or the insufficiency of private investments in the CEATF infrastructure, the aid at issue does not seem to be proportionate.
Det samlede beløb, der skal tilbagesøges, beregnes inklusive renter fra det tidspunkt, hvor hvert tilskud eller lån blev udbetalt, og indtil det tilbagebetales.
Avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States
For tilskuddene bør renten beregnes ud fra selve tilskuddet, men for lånene bør den beregnes ud fra støtteelementet af lånene.
Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty requires that the positive developments generated as a result of a given measure be balanced with its negative effects on trade and competition.
Spanien bør ikke foretage nye udbetalinger vedrørende det omhandlede projekt.
The Commission considers that the Spanish authorities have not proven the existence of positive effects induced by the present measure.
Som anført i betragtning 88 ovenfor oplyste de spanske myndigheder, at CEATF-jernbaneringen ikke ville blive opført uden Kommissionens godkendelse.
The Commission consequently concludes that the construction of the CEATF will fail to achieve its objective to increase R & D in the specific field of very high-speed rail transport services as market demand for such infrastructure and related R & D services is weak at best or non-existent.
Der er derfor efter Kommissionens opfattelse ingen grund til, at ADIF beholder de lån, som selskabet blev bevilget alene til dette specifikke projekt.
The Commission also concluded that there is no demonstrated market failure nor proof that the measure contributes to a meaningful change of behaviour of the beneficiary.
Kommissionen anmoder derfor om omgående indstilling og tilbagebetaling af de lån, der er ydet til ADIF.
As to the other positive effects of the measure on which Spain relies, the Commission considers that the temporary creation of jobs, mainly in the construction sector, comes at a very high cost and carries limited positive value.
KONKLUSION
In addition, as the measure allows the entrance on the market of a new competitor through the use of massive public financing, the Commission considers that it will have a negative effect on competition.
De forhåndstilskud og lån, som Spanien har indrømmet ADIF, udgør statsstøtte som omhandlet i traktatens artikel 107, stk. 1.
The aid would call into question previous investments made by competitors at their testing facilities as well as reducing future investments in maintenance or improvement of such infrastructures.
Denne støtte blev ydet af Spanien i strid med anmeldelses- og standstill-forpligtelserne i traktatens artikel 108, stk. 3.
The market impacted by the aid is the market for services for railway equipment testing in the European Union.
Kommissionen anser støtten for uforenelig med det indre marked.
On this market, as already pointed out in the opening decision, three railway test centres are currently in operation in the European Union: Cerhenice (Velim) in Czech Republic, Wildenrath in Germany and Valenciennes in France, on which testing up to speeds of 210 km/h is performed.
Støtten skal derfor tilbagesøges fra støttemodtageren, ADIF, med rente —
Testing of high-speed rolling stock is carried out on lines in commercial use [55] that have a maximum design speed of 350 km/h, with tests being carried out at up to 385 km/h as required by the standard (10 % over the nominal speed of the train).
VEDTAGET DENNE AFGØRELSE:
It follows that there is not a perfect substitutability between the testing services of CEATF on the one hand and other test facilities and tests on commercial networks on the other hand due to the different maximum testing speeds.
Artikel 1
However, the already existing possibility of testing at speeds up to 385 km/h on commercial networks captures the actual and potential demand for testing services up to this commercially viable speed.
Den offentlige finansiering, som Spanien tildelte Administrador de Infraestructura ferroviaria (ADIF) på grundlag af aftale af 27. december 2010 og ministerrådets beslutning af 28. juni 2013 til opførelsen af CEATF i form af lån til renter, der er lavere end markedsrenten, og tilskud, som beløb sig til 358552309 EUR, udgør statsstøtte som omhandlet i traktatens artikel 107, stk. 1.
As regards the future potential demand for testing at speeds up to 520 km/h, the information available and the comments received from the market participants suggest that this is not going to be a commercially viable option, at least in the foreseeable future.
Artikel 2
Therefore, the CEATF testing facility will be a direct competitor to both those existing facilities and the public rail networks as well.
Den støtte, der er omhandlet i artikel 1, er ulovlig, da den blev indrømmet i strid med de anmeldelses- og standstill-forpligtelser, der følger af traktatens artikel 108, stk. 3.
The Commission therefore considers that the measure is designed to subsidise the entry on the market of a new competitor entirely through State resources and is liable to significantly distort competition on that market as a result.
Artikel 3
The competition on the downstream markets of railway products to be tested (including rolling stock and equipment) could also be negatively affected by this aid measure.
Den i artikel 1 omhandlede støtte er uforenelig med det indre marked.
As pointed out in the comments received on the opening decision, the geographical location of the facility may create de facto competition advantages in favour of the national rolling stock producers which would be more likely to use CEATF for testing, without incurring significant transport costs
Artikel 4
Having regard to the lack of sufficiently proven positive effects of the notified aid, as observed by the Commission in Sections 6.3.1 to 6.3.5, the negative effects of the measure in terms of actual and potential distortion of competition are considered such as to outweigh its claimed efficiencies.
For så vidt som den i artikel 1 omhandlede støtte er blevet udbetalt til ADIF, skal Spanien straks tilbagesøge den.
Transparency of aid
Til de beløb, der skal tilbagesøges, lægges renter regnet fra det tidspunkt, hvor støtten blev stillet til ADIFs rådighed, og indtil tilbagebetaling er sket.
In the light of the previous considerations it is not necessary to consider to what extent the aid is transparent.
Rentebeløbet beregnes med renters rente i overensstemmelse med kapitel V i Kommissionens forordning (EF) nr. 794/2004 [58].
Conclusions on compatibility of the aid
Til de beløb, der skal tilbagebetales, lægges renter regnet fra det tidspunkt, hvor de blev stillet til modtagernes rådighed, og indtil tilbagebetaling er sket.
In light of the considerations set out in Sections 6.3.1 to 6.3.7 above, the Commission concludes that the notified aid measure cannot be declared compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Spanien indstiller alle udestående betalinger af den i artikel 1 omhandlede støtte med virkning fra datoen for vedtagelsen af denne afgørelse.
Recovery of the incompatible aid
Spanien skal anmode om omgående indstilling og tilbagebetaling af de lån, der er ydet til ADIF.
In line with well-settled case-law, Article 16(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/1589 states that ‘where negative decisions are taken in cases of unlawful aid, the Commission shall decide that the Member State concerned shall take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary (…)’.
Artikel 5
The Courts of the Union have also consistently held that the obligation on a Member State to abolish aid regarded by the Commission as being incompatible with the internal market is designed to re-establish the previously existing situation [56].
Spanien sikrer, at denne afgørelse efterkommes senest fire måneder efter meddelelsestidspunktet.
In this context, the Courts of the Union have established that this objective is attained once the recipient has repaid the amounts granted by way of unlawful aid (including interest), thus forfeiting the advantage which it had enjoyed over its competitors on the market, and the situation prior to the payment of the aid is restored [57].
Artikel 6
The Commission has concluded that the aid granted by Spain to ADIF is unlawful and is incompatible with the internal market.
Senest to måneder efter meddelelsen af denne afgørelse sender Spanien Kommissionen følgende oplysninger:
As a result, the aid must be recovered in order to re-establish the situation that existed on the market prior to its granting.
det samlede beløb (hovedstol og renter), der skal tilbagesøges fra ADIF
Recovery should cover the time from when the advantage accrued to the beneficiaries, that is to say when the aid was put at the disposal of the beneficiaries and the sums to be recovered should bear interest until effective recovery.
en detaljeret beskrivelse af de foranstaltninger, der allerede er truffet eller planlagt for at efterkomme denne afgørelse
On the basis of the information provided by Spain and summarised in recitals 43 and 44, and in Tables 3, 4 and 5 above, the total of the funds disbursed to ADIF in the period 2011-2014 amounts to EUR 143703000 (including EUR 135866000 in grants and EUR 7837000 in loans).
dokumenter, der viser, at ADIF har fået påkrav om tilbagebetaling af støtten.
The Commission has calculated the interest rate that would have been available on the market on the basis of the information provided by Spain concerning the commercial loans actually contracted by ADIF in the relevant period.
Spanien holder Kommissionen underrettet om gennemførelsen af de foranstaltninger, der træffes for at efterkomme denne afgørelse, indtil tilbagesøgningen af den i artikel 1 omhandlede støtte er tilendebragt.
However, the Commission appreciates that the result of its calculation could be affected by the existence of other loans of which it has not been made aware.
Efter anmodning fra Kommissionen fremsender Spanien omgående oplysninger om, hvilke foranstaltninger der er truffet eller planlagt for at efterkomme afgørelsen.
Thus, for the purposes of calculating the difference between the interest rates actually fixed in the loans granted to ADIF and the market interest rate, and therefore the aid element that is to be recovered, Spain has a period of two months from the date of the adoption of this decision within which it may provide the Commission with evidence of any other commercial loans contracted by ADIF in the relevant period.
Der gives også detaljerede oplysninger om de støttebeløb og tilbagebetalingsrenter, som allerede er blevet tilbagebetalt af ADIF.
Spain must therefore recover from ADIF both the advance grants actually disbursed and not yet reimbursed by ADIF and the aid element contained in the loans granted in 2011, 2012 and 2013, which, without prejudice to the possibility referred to in the preceding paragraph, is the difference between the interest rate of the loan and the market interest rate indicated in Table 6 above (see recital 75 above).
Artikel 7
The total amount to be recovered shall include recovery interest as of the moment that each grant or loan was disbursed and until the moment of its reimbursement.
Denne afgørelse er rettet til Kongeriget Spanien.
While for the grants the recovery interest should be calculated on the basis of the principal of the grant, the recovery interest for the loans should be calculated on the basis of the aid element contained in the loans.
Udfærdiget i Bruxelles, den 25. juli 2016.
No new payments should be made by Spain in relation to the project at hand.
På Kommissionens vegne
As indicated in recital 88 above, the Spanish authorities stated that the CEATF railway circuit would not be constructed without approval of the Commission.

In view of this, the Commission considers that there should be no reason for ADIF to keep the loans given that they were granted solely for this specific project.

For this reason, the Commission requests the immediate termination and repayment of the loans granted to ADIF.
