Kommissionen har således sammenholdt omkostningerne ved urentable postkontorer i landdistrikter med gennemsnitsomkostningerne for de franske postkontorer.
It follows that the review which this Court is called upon to perform in the present case in relation to the Commission's assessment must be confined to verifying the accuracy of the facts found and establishing that there is no manifest error of assessment
Retten finder, at sagsøgernes argumenter om, at beregningsmetoderne er behæftet med fejl, ikke kan afsvække Kommissionens vurderinger.
It is not disputed that the tax concession in question enjoyed by La Poste under the 1990 Law, namely the 85% reduction in the basis of assessment to local taxation, amounted in 1994 to FF 1.196 billion.
Det bemærkes dernæst, at sagsøgerne ikke har ført bevis for, at der skulle have været nogen alternativ og mere nøjagtig metode til beregning af meromkostningerne på grundlag af de oplysninger, der var til rådighed på det pågældende tidspunkt.
The Court therefore finds that the Commission was correa to consider that the amount of that tax concession did not exceed the additional public service costs, even if the minimum estimate was taken into account that is to say additional costs of FF 132 billion.
Da sagsøgerne alene generelt har anfægtet Kommissionens vurderinger uden at pege på forhold, der kan afsvække disse, må det herefter fastslås, at sagsøgerne ikke har godtgjort, at Kommissionen ved sin ansættelse af meromkostningerne som følge af de offentligretlige forpligtelser har baseret sin beslutning på materielt urigtige forhold eller har overskredet grænserne for sine skønsmæssige beføjelser på området.
It appears from the documents before the Court that in order to calculate La Poste's additional costs produced by its public service obligations, the Commission carried out a complex economic analysis on the basis of two studies carried out by La Poste itself and by outside consultants.
Traktatens artikel 92, stk. 1, lyder således: »Bortset fra de i denne traktat hjemlede undtagelser er statsstøtte eller støtte, som ydes ved hjælp af statsmidler under hver tænkelig form, og som fordrejer eller truer med at fordreje konkurrencevilkårene ved at begunstige visse virksomheder eller visse produktioner, uforenelig med fællesmarkedet i det omfang, den påvirker samhandelen mellem medlemsstaterne«.
The Court finds that the Commission established with sufficient certainty that La Poste has additional costs amounting to — at least — FF 132
bestemt de meromkostninger, der er forbundet med de særlige opgaver, virksomheden har fået overdraget, bemærkes følgende om retspraksis vedrørende anvendelsen af traktatens artikel 85 og 86, sammenholdt med artikel 90, stk. 2.
It is not disputed that the tax concession enjoyed by La Poste amounted to FF 1.196 billion for 1994.
Det fremgår af traktatens artikel 90, at artikel 92 omfatter samtlige private og offentlige virksomheder og samtlige produktioner i disse virksomheder, alene med forbehold af artikel 90, stk. 2.
This plea is in two parts. First the applicants maintain that Article 90(2) does not permit the tax concession in question, granted without distinction to all of La Poste's activities, to escape the prohibition laid down by Article 92 of the Treaty.
Det bemærkes endvidere, at konkurrencereglerne også finder anvendelse på postsektoren.
Second, they contend that the Commission infringed Article 92 by failing to assess the effea on competition of the grant of the tax concession in question.
Domstolen har om dette spørgsmål i dom af 27. april 1994, Almelo m.fl., antaget, at en begrænsning af konkurrencen fra andre erhvervsdrivendes side kan være berettiget i henhold til artikel 90, stk. 2, såfremt sådanne begrænsninger må anses for nødvendige for, at den virksomhed, der har fået overdraget at udføre opgaver af almindelig interesse, kan udføre disse.
In principle, that tax concession constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 92(1) since, although not taking the form of a transfer of state resources, it places La Poste in a more favourable financial situation than other taxpayers, including the companies represented by the applicants.
Det er ikke blevet bestridt, at postvæsenets skattefordel androg 1,196 mia. FF i 1994.
In so far as aid is capable of affecting trade between Member States and distorting competition, it is incompatible with the common market, save where otherwise provided for by the Treaty.
Denne skattefordel er principielt en statsstøtte i henhold til artikel 92, stk. 1, idet den, selv om den ikke indebærer en overførsel af statsmidler, giver postvæsenet en gunstigere økonomisk stilling end andre skattepligtige, herunder de selskaber, som sagsøgerne repræsenterer.
Article 90(2) of the Treaty provides for such a derogation where the aid involved is granted to an undertaking entrusted with the operation of a service of general economic interest
Tilsvarende har Domstolen i dom af 19. maj 1993 i Corbeau-sagen antaget, at den eksklusive ret til at indsamle, befordre og omdele post, der er tillagt det belgiske postvæsen, og som kan medføre begrænsninger af konkurrencen, er tilstrækkeligt hjemlet, for så vidt disse begrænsninger er en forudsætning for, at det belgiske postvæsen kan udføre de særlige opgaver, det har fået overdraget.
In dealing with this plea, the Court's task is to examine the applicants' submissions concerning (i) the basis of the Commission's finding that upon application of Article 90(2) of the Treaty, the tax concession in question granted to La Poste, being less than its additional public service costs, does not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 92(1) of the Treaty, (ii) the question whether the aid is necessary for the performance of La Poste's particular tasks and, finally, (iii) the question as to whether the Commission, in proceeding on the assumption that the tax concession was less than the additional public service costs, could reasonably arrive at the view that there were no grounds for concluding that a transfer of State resources to La Poste's competitive aaivities was involved.
I det omfang en sådan støtte kan påvirke samhandelen mellem medlemsstaterne og fordreje konkurrencevilkårene, er den, bortset fra de i traktaten hjemlede undtagelser, uforenelig med fællesmarkedet.
Because that article lays down a derogating rule, it must be interpreted restrictively. So, in order that the derogation from the application of the rules of the Treaty provided for by that provision may apply, it is not sufficient that the undertaking in question has been entrusted by the public authorities with the operation of a service of general economic interest: the application of the rules of the Treaty, specifically those of Article 92, must also obstruct the performance of the particular tasks assigned to the undertaking and the interests of the Community must not be affected.
For så vidt angår støtte til en virksomhed, der har fået overdraget at udføre tjenesteydelser af almindelig økonomisk interesse, hjemler traktatens artikel 90, stk. 2, en sådan undtagelse.
Article 92(1) of the Treaty provides: 'Save as otherwise provided in this Treaty, any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods shall, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, be incompatible with the common market'
Da denne artikel fastlægger en undtagelsesregel, må bestemmelsen fortolkes snævert. For at undtagelsen i traktatens artikel 90, stk. 2, kan finde anvendelse, kræves det således ikke blot, at myndighederne har overdraget den pågældende virksomhed at udføre tjenesteydelser af almindelig økonomisk interesse, men også, at en anvendelse af traktatens bestemmelser, her artikel 92, hindrer opfyldelsen af de særlige opgaver, virksomheden er betroet, samt at dette ikke strider mod Fællesskabets interesse.
In examining the question whether Community law precludes a Member State from granting State aid to offset the additional costs assumed by an undertaking entrusted with the operation of a service of general economic interest within the meaning of Article 90(2) of the Treaty where those additional costs arise from performance of the particular task assigned to it, reference must be made to the case-law on the combined application of Articles 85 and 86 and Article 90(2) of the Treaty.
Den nærmere afgørelse af, om støtten må anses for nødvendig, forudsætter en samlet vurdering af de økonomiske vilkår, hvorunder den pågældende virksomhed udøver sine aktiviteter inden for det område, der er forbeholdt den, hvorved der ses bort fra eventuelle fordele, som virksomheden kan opnå inden for de områder, der er åbne for konkurrence.
It is clear from Article 90 of the Treaty that save only for the reservation in Article 90(2), Article 92 covers all undertakings, private or public, and all their production.
Med henblik på undersøgelsen af, hvorvidt fællesskabsretten er til hinder for, at en medlemsstat yder statsstøtte med det formål at kompensere for de meromkostninger, som en virksomhed, der har fået overdraget at udføre tjenesteydelser af almindelig økonomisk interesse, jf. traktatens artikel 90, stk. 2, må bære, nærmere
Thus, the Commission's power, under Article 93 of the Treaty, to assess the compatibility of aid with the common market also extends to State aid granted to the undertakings referred to in Article 90(2), in particular those which the Member States have entrusted with the management of services of general economic interest Furthermore, the Court of Justice has held that the rules of competition also apply to the postal seaor.
Selv om resultaterne for disse regnskabsår omfatter hele postvæsenets virksomhed, idet der ikke var noget analytisk regnskabssystem, som gjorde det muligt at sondre mellem postvæsenets
In its judgment in Case C-393/92 Almelo [1994] ECR 1-1477, paragraph 46, the Court of Justice held that restriaions on competition from other economic operators may be permissible pursuant to Article 90(2) in so far as they are necessary to
forskellige former for virksomhed, finder Retten, at Kommissionen, uden at overskride grænserne for sine skønsmæssige beføjelser i sagen, med rette kunne antage, at den omtvistede skattefordel ikke gik ud over, hvad der var nødvendigt for, at postvæsenet kunne udføre de opgaver af offentlig interesse, det har fået overdraget, navnlig i form af forpligtelsen til at opretholde et postnet i landdistrikterne, idet de hermed forbundne meromkostninger kunne antages at svare til tab af tilsvarende størrelse for postvæsenet For så vidt Kommissionen har godkendt en statsstøtte på et mindre beløb end de nævnte meromkostninger, kan det følgelig ikke antages, at traktatens artikel 90, stk. 2, ikke har kunnet finde anvendelse i sagen, og dermed ikke, at der er sket en tilsidesættelse af traktatens artikel 92.
In its judgment in Case C-320/91 Corbeau, the Court similarly held that the grant of exclusive rights as regards the collection, carriage, and distribution of mail to the Belgian Régie des Postes, which were capable of entailing restrictions on competition, could be justified to the extent that those restrictions were necessary to ensure performance of the particular task assigned to that undertaking.
Der må herefter ske en undersøgelse af sagsøgernes argumenter om, at den af Kommissionen anvendte metode ikke har været korrekt.
tax concession in question was not greater than was necessary to ensure that the tasks of public interest assigned to La Poste are performed, namely in particular the obligation to maintain a postal presence in rural areas, as it can be assumed that the resulting additional costs correspond to equivalent losses for La Poste.
Sagsøgerne har gjort gældende, at da postvæsenet ikke har noget analytisk regnskabssystem, kan det ikke dokumenteres, at den omtvistede skattefordel ikke i strid med fællesskabsretten begunstiger postvæsenets aktiviteter på områder, der er underlagt fri konkurrence.
The fact of having authorized State aid which stayed below those additional costs cannot therefore render Article 90(2) of the Treaty inapplicable in this case and, accordingly, it cannot constitute an infringement of Article 92 of the Treaty.
Anbringendet om, at der er sket en tilsidesættelse af traktatens artikel 90, stk. 2, og artikel 92, må herefter forkastes.
The Court must therefore examine whether the method of comparison used, consisting in assessing the amount of the State aid (FF 1.196 billion) in relation to the amount of La Poste's additional costs (FF 1.32 billion), is an appropriate method capable of reasonably ensuring that the grant of that aid does not involve any cross-subsidy for La Poste's competitive aaivities.
Det bør derfor undersøges, om den anvendte komparative metode, hvorved statsstøtten (dvs. 1,196 mia. FF) blev sammenholdt med postvæsenets meromkostninger (dvs. 1,32 mia. FF), må anses for anvendelig til i tilstrækkelig grad at godtgøre, at ydelsen af støtten ikke medfører en krydssubsidiering af postvæsenets aktiviteter på områder underlagt fri konkurrence.
This Court considers that that case-law on the application of Articles 85 and 86, can be applied, mutatis mutandis, to the field of State aid, so that the grant of State aid may, under Article 90(2) of the Treaty, escape the prohibition laid down in Article 92 of that Treaty provided that the sole purpose of the aid in question is to offset the additional costs incurred in performing the particular task assigned to the undertaking entrusted with the operation of a service of general economic interest and that the grant of the aid is necessary in order for that undertaking to be able to perform its public service obligations under conditions of economic equilibrium.
Selv om Kommissionen i strid med, hvad der er blevet fastslået, ovenfor i den anfægtede beslutning har antaget, at den pågældende statslige foranstaltning ifølge traktatens artikel 90, stk. 2, ikke var udtryk for en statsstøtte i henhold til traktatens artikel 92, stk. 1, finder Retten ikke, at denne vurdering, der ikke har haft nogen betydning for resultatet af undersøgelsen af støtten, bør medføre, at den anfægtede beslutning annulleres.
Determining whether the aid is necessary entails a general assessment of the economic conditions in which the undertaking in question performs the activities in the reserved seaor, without taking account of any benefits it may draw from the sectors open to competition.
Det bemærkes herved, at det fremgår af sagen, at postvæsenet på det tidspunkt, den anfægtede beslutning blev truffet, ikke i sit interne regnskab førte særskilte regnskaber for henholdsvis tjenesteydelser inden for det område, der er forbeholdt postvæsenet, og tjenesteydelser på de områder, der ikke er forbeholdt det
The documents before the Court show that when it adopted the contested decision, La Poste did not maintain, in its internal accounting system, separate accounts for services falling within the reserved seaor and for non-reserved services.
Da sagsøgerne ikke har fået medhold i nogen af deres anbringender, må Kommissionen frifindes.
Whilst it is true that the grant of State aid to an undertaking may allow the undertaking to release
Sagsøgerne betaler sagens omkostninger, herunder de af La Poste som afholdte.
The applicants are ordered to pay the costs of the proceedings, incurred by the intervener La Poste;
