III — STATSSTØTTE
III Ð STATE AID
A — Oversigt over sager
A Ð
Den 25. februar traf Kommissionen en endelig negativ beslutning om intensiteten af støtte til fjernarbejde, hv ilket var led i den 26. rammeplan til forbedring af de regionale erhvervsstrukturer, som er udarbejdet i fællesskab af forbundsregeringen og delstaterne.
On 25 February the Commission took a negative final decision on aid intensities for teleworking under the 26th framework plan of the joint Federal Government/LaÈnder scheme for improving regional economic structures.
Programmet vedrørte investeringer til oprettelse af fjernarbejdspladser, som kan støttes med den intensitet, der gælder i det område, hvor den investerende virksomhed har hjemme, selv hvis fjernarbejdspladsen ligger i en støtteberettiget region, der er berettiget til regionalstøtte med et lavere loft. Kommissionen fandt, at denne situation var uforenelig med målene for den regionale udviklingsstøtte.
The programme allowed investments for the creation of teleworking jobs to receive aid at the intensity applicable in the area in which the investing company was situated, even if the teleworkplace was located in an assisted area with a lower regional aid intensity ceiling.
Den højest tilladte støtteintensitet for investeringer i fjernarbejdspladser skal være det støtteloft, der gælder i det område, hvor fjernarbejdspladsen skabes, selv om der oprettes en teknologisk og økonomisk forbindelse med en arbejdsgiver i et område, hvor støtteintensiteten er højere.
The maximum aid intensity allowed for the investment creating the teleworking job should be subject to the aid intensity ceiling applicable in the area where the job was created, even if there were a technological and economic link with an employer in an area qualifying for higher aid intensities.
b) Ændring af § 52, stk. 8, i den tyske indkomstskattelov
b) Amendment to Section 52(8) of the German Income Tax Act63
Den 21. januar traf Kommissionen en endelig negativ beslutning om indførelsen af § 52. slk. 8, i den tyske indkomstskattelov, om ændring af lovens S 6, litra b).
On 21 January the Commission took a negative final decision on the insertion in Section 52(8) of the German Income Tax Act of a provision amending Section 6(b) of the Act.
Denne bestemmelse ville give en særlig skattelettelse fra 1996 til 1998 for reinvestering af fortjenester, der ellers ville være underlagt indkomstskat, i aktiekapitalen i selskaber, der har registreret forretningsadresse og central administration i en af de nye delstater eller Vestberlin, og som beskæftiger mindst 250 personer.
The provision introduced a special tax-relief measure applicable from 1996 to 1998 for there investment of profits otherwise subject to income tax in the equity capital base of firms having their registered office and central administration in one of the new LaÈnder or west Berlin and employing a maximum of 250 people.
Kommissionen fandt, at denne foranstaltning indeholdt statsstøtte til virksomheder i Østtyskland og Berlin, idet den gjorde det lettere at erhverve aktiekapital i disse virksomheder.
The Commission found that the measure constituted state aid for firms in eastern Germany and Berlin since its effect was to facilitate the acquisition of equity stakes in those firms.
Investorerne vil få kapitalinteresser i disse virksomheder pa bedre vilkår, end de ville have fået uden ændringen.
Investors would acquire interests in the firms on more advantageous terms than would have been obtained without the amendment.
Da erhvervelse af aktier i disse virksomheder ikke nødvendigvis er forbundet med nye investeringer, ma støtten sammenlignes med driftsstøtte, som ikke kan begrundes i Vestberlin, som har status som et omrade omfattet af artikel 87. stk. .3, litra c).
Given that the acquiring of stakes in these firms was not necessarily linked to new investment, the aid had to be ranked as operating aid, which was not justifiable in west Berlin given its Article 9287(3)(c) status.
Desuden er foranstaltningen i strid med EF­traktatens artikel 43 og 48 (fri etableringsret), da den er begrænset til virksomheder i de pågældende områder.
Furthermore, the measure was contrary to Articles 43 and 48 of the EC Treaty (freedom of establishment) since it applied only to enterprises established in the regions specified.
Nordrhein-Westfalen c) Begunstigede lån fra KfW til erhvervelse af kapitalinteresser og Saarland"4
c) KfW subsidised loan scheme to promote holdings in firms in North Rhine-Westphalia and Saarland64
Den 18. februar godkendte Kommissionen en ordning til udligning af mangelen på risikovillig kapital pa finansmarkedet i delstaterne Nordrhein­Westfalen og Saarland, hvor kulstøtten er mindsket betydeligt.
On 18 February the Commission authorised a scheme aimed at making up for the shortage of risk capital in the financial markets of the LaÈnder of North Rhine-Westphalia and Saarland, where coal subsidies had been significantly reduced.
Som led i ordningen kan den offentlige bank Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) give bløde lån til enhver privat mellemmand (virksomhed eller enkeltperson), der vil investere i
Under the scheme, the publicly owned bank Kreditanstalt fuÈr Wiederaufbau (KfW) might provide soft loans to any private intermediary (enterprise or natural person) wishing to invest in enterprises in the above regions. The Commission decided that the scheme
ANVENDELSEN AF KONKURRENCEREGLERNE I DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION virksomheder i ovennævnte områder. Kommissionen besluttede, at denne ordning indeholdt statsstøtte i form af aktiekapital til virksomhederne i området. Denne støtte kunne godkendes som regionalstøtte i medför al' artikel 87. stk. 3. litra c), da den er relateret til investeringer og ligger under støttelofterne i de pågældende omrader.
APPLICATION OF THE COMPETITION RULES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION involved state aid in the form of capital injections in enterprises in the regions concerned.
Hvad angår private mellemmænd, bemærkede Kommissionen, at ordningen var åben for enhver virksomhed eller enkeltperson, som ville investere i disse omrader.
With regard to private intermediaries, the Commission took note of the fact that the scheme was open to any type of enterprise or any individual wishing to invest in the regions in question.
af udgifter til erhvervelse af immaterielle aktiver for store d) Udvidelse af definitionen virksomheder'"
d) Extension of the eligibility of intangible property acquisition costs for large firms65
Den 6. maj traf Kommissionen en endelig negativ beslutning om den ophævelse' af bestemmelsen om udelukkelse af immaterielle investeringer foretaget af store virksomheder, der indgår i den 25. fælles rammeplan (Gemeinschaftsaufgabe), når disse investeringer svarer til over 25% af investeringsomkostningerne.
On 6 May the Commission adopted a negative final decision on the deletion, under the 25th framework plan of the joint Federal Government/LaÈnder scheme, of the clause excluding intangible property acquired by large firms from eligibility where such property accounted for more than 25% of the cost of the investment.
1 modsætning til, hvad der allerede er planlagt for SMV. er denne udvidelse af beregningsgrundlaget ikke forenelig med fællesmarkedet, fordi den især vil føre til en betydelig forøgelse af den tilladte regionalstøtte til store virksomheder og dermed vil fjerne virkningen al' den reduktion af støtteintensiteten, som Kommissionen har sat sig som mål. Denne beslutning er i overensstemmelse med de nye retningslinjer for regionalstøtte'"'.
Contrary to what had already been decided for SMEs, this extension of the base was incompatible with the common market inasmuch as it would have resulted in a substantial increase in permissible regional aid for large firms, thereby neutralising the effect of the Commission's commitment to reducing aid intensities.
Ved beslutning af 27. juli 1994 godkendte Kommissionen pa visse betingelser støtteordningen 'Thüringer Industriebeteiligungs-Fonds. der tog sigte på at fremme erhvervelse af kapitalinteresser i blandt andet kriseramte virksomheder.
In a decision adopted on 27 July 1994 the Commission had authorised on certain conditions the ThuÈringer Industriebeteiligungs-Fonds aid scheme, the purpose of which was to acquire shareholdings in firms, including those in difficulty.
Det fremgik af analysen af årsrapporterne om anvendelse al ordningen, at den muligvis var blevet misbrugt, og Kommissionen besluttede derfor den 9. december al anmode den tvske regering om at forelægge alle de nødvendige oplysninger for at fastslå, om støtten var tildelt under opfyldelse af de betingelser, der blev stillet ved godkendelsen i 1994.
Scrutiny of the annual reports on the scheme's application having revealed possible irregularities, the Commission decided on 9 December to request the German Government to provide it with all such information as might be necessary for it to check whether the aid had in fact been granted in the manner and on the terms laid down when it authorised the scheme in 1994.
Denne beslutning blev truffet på grundlag af Domstolens dom af 5. oktober 1994 i sag C-47/91, »Italgrani«.
The decision was based on the judgment of the Court of Justice of 5 October 1994 in the Italgrani case (C-47/91).
Den 9. december besluttede Kommissionen at indlede proceduren efter EF-traktatens artikel 88. stk. 2. over for en del af loven om skattelettelse for 1999 til fordel for de nye tyske delstater og Berlin, som skulle gælde i seks år med et budget på ca. 15 mia. ECU.
On 9 December the Commission decided to initiate proceedings under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of part of the Investment Allowance Act 1999 for the new German LaÈnder, including Berlin, which covered a period of six years and had a budget of some ECU 15 billion.
Endvidere besluttede Kommissionen ikke al gøre indsigelse mod ordningens øvrige bestemmelser, men foreslog foranstaltninger for at sikre, at de til sidst blev forenelige med fællesmarkedet.
However, the Commission decided not to object to the implementation of the scheme's other provisions, although it proposed appropriate measures to ensure their subsequent compatibility with the common market.
1 g) 27. fælles rammeplan
217 g) 27th framework plan of the joint Federal Government/LaÈnder scheme for improving regional economic structures69
Den 22. december besluttede Kommissionen ikke at gøre indsigelse mod en regional støtteordning. som ændret ved 27. fælles rammeplan (Gemeinschaftsaufgabe) «Forbedring al' de regionale erhvervsstrukturer«, dog med undtagelse af den nye bestemmelse om investeringspræmier i forbindelse med transaktionen »sell and rent back«, over for hvilken den indledte proceduren efter EF-traktatens artikel 88. stk. 2.
On 22 December the Commission decided not to raise any objections to implementation of this regional aid scheme as amended by the 27th framework plan, with the exception, however, of a new provision concerning the granting of investment allowances in the context of a `sell and rent back' operation, in respect of which it initiated proceedings under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty.
Kommissionen mener, at denne bestemmelse kan indeholde et element af driftsstøtte, der er uforeneligt med fællesmarkedet. Det påtænkte budget for ordningen i perioden 1998-2002 er på 12 754.4 mio. ECU.
It considered that the provision might contain an operating aid element which would be incompatible with the common market.
199611 h) Konsolideringsprogrammel af 20. juli 1993'" og låneprogrammet af 24. januar
h) Consolidation scheme of 20 July 199370 and loans scheme of 24 January 199671
Delstaten Thüringens konsolideringsprogram af 20. juli 1993 og låneprogram af 24. januar 1996 opfattede de tyske myndigheder fejlagtigt som værende omfattet af »de minimis«-reglen, eftersom det samlede støttebeløb overstiger støtteloftet, og følsomme sektorer ikke er udelukket.
The consolidation scheme of 20 July 1993 and the loans scheme of 24 January 1996 of the Land of Thuringia were wrongly considered by the German authorities to be covered by the de minimis rule, since the total amount of aid likely to be granted exceeded the authorised ceiling and since the sensitive sectors were not excluded.
Der er derfor tale om statsstøtte' i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 87. stk. 1.
The schemes were therefore state aid schemes caught by Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Kommissionen tvivler på. at støtten er forenelig med fællesmarkedet.
The Commission had doubts about their compatibility with the common market.
Med hensyn til støtten til kriseramte virksomheder i de to programmer er reglerne ikke overholdt, og med hensyn til støtten til sunde virksomheder i programmet fra 1996 er der tale om driftsstøtte, der ikke stemmer overens med reglerne.
The aid for firms in difficulty available under the two schemes did not comply with the rules on the subject, and some of the aid provided under the 1996 scheme to healthy businesses constituted operating aid and did not comply with the relevant provisions.
Kommissionen besluttede derfor den 22. december at indlede procedure efter EF-traktatens artikel 88. stk. 2. over for disse to programmer.
The Commission therefore decided on 22 December to initiate proceedings under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of both measures.
Lov nr. 2601/98 om
Law No 2601/98 on regional development72
Den 22. december besluttede Kommissionen at godkende den græske lov om regionaludvikling, der fastsætter de forskellige former for regionalstøtte og den støtteintensitet, der gælder for virksomhederne afhængigt af deres beliggenhed.
On 22 December the Commission decided to approve this Greek law on regional development laying down the various types and intensities of regional aid which might be granted to companies according to the areas in which they were located.
Selv om det nugældende støtteloft (75%) vil blive' bevaret indtil udgangen af 1999, indebærer den nye lov en betydelig nedbringelse af lofterne og en kraftig modulering fra område til omrade efter udgangen af 1999.
Although the aid intensity ceiling applied at the time (75%) would remain in force up to the end of 1999, the new law introduced significantly reduced authorised aid ceilings and made a major adjustment between the various areas for after the end of 1999.
Kommissionen godkendte loven efter at have fastslået, at den er forenelig med de nye retningslinjer for regionalstøtte73.
The Commission authorised the implementation of the law, having found it to be compatible with the new guidelines on national regional aid.73

Den 7. april godkendte Kommissionen en ordning for regionalstøtte til udvikling al' minedrift i Andalusien.
On 21 January the Commission authorised the amendment of a regional investment aid scheme to promote R & D and assist SMEs in Castile-La Mancha.
Ordningen omfatter investeringsstøtte til forskning og udvikling.
On 7 April the Commission authorised a regional aid scheme for developing the mining industry in Andalusia.
Budgettet for 1908-1009 er på 32.08 mio. ECU.
The scheme comprised investment aid and aid for R & D. The budget for 1998-99 was ECU 32.08 million.
Stötte til opforelse af en brintoveriltefabrik i
Aid for the construction of a hydrogen peroxide plant at Delfzijl76
Den 21. januar besluttede Kommissionen at afslutte den procedure, den havde indledt i 1996 i medför af artikel 88. stk. 2. med hensyn til den regionalstøtte, der blev givet til virksomheden FMC til opførelse af et brintoverilteanlæg i Delfzijl, idet den oversteg det regionale støtteloft pa 20% al investeringsomkostningerne.
On 21 January the Commission decided to terminate Article 88(2) proceedings initiated in 1996 in respect of part of the regional aid granted to FMC for the construction of a hydrogen peroxide plant at Delfzijl, to the extent that the aid exceeded the authorised regional ceiling of 20% of investment costs.
Under proceduren konstaterede Kommissionen, at dette loft vat overskredet af støtte, der blev givet i form af tilskud og salg af grunde til under deres værdi, hvilket beløb sig til i alt 2.85 mio. ECU.
In the course of the proceedings, the Commission noted that the ceiling had been exceeded by aid in the form of grants and the sale of land at below market value amounting to a combined total of ECU 2.85 million.
Derfor fandt Kommissionen støtten uforenelig med fællesmarkedet og krævede, at den blev betalt tilbage.
The Commission therefore considered this aid to be incompatible with the common market and ordered its repayment.
I overensstemmelse med punkt 6 i de nye retningslinjer for regionalstøtte7Ser det østrigske kort for 1999 et af de sidste kort. der behandles efter tie gamle- regler for regionalstøtte, navnlig den metode, der er beskrevet i Kommissionens meddelelse fra 19887
In accordance with point 6 of the new guidelines on national regional aid,78 the Austrian aid map for 1999 was one of the last maps to be examined on the basis of the previously applicable regional aid rules, i.e. the method set out in the Commission's 1988 notice.79
223 algore, om ordningen er forenelig med fællesmarkedet i de følsomme sektorer.
The Finnish authorities had undertaken to notify individual cases in the sectors concerned.
Kommissionen finder, at der er behov for en ændring af den lov, parlamentet har vedtaget, for helt at udelukke, at den anvendes i følsomme sektorer.
The scheme, however, was based on a law adopted by Parliament which was directly and, in principle, automatically applicable and which did not allow for administrative discretion in individual cases.
Disse områder består af 26 kommuner og to len med 4.5% af den svenske befolkning.
The ªstructural change areasº consisted of 26 municipalities and two parishes and covered 4.5% of the population of Sweden.
Lofterne for investeringsstøtten vil blive sat ved en intensitet på 25% brutto (18% netto) for store virksomheder og 35% brutto (25,2% netto) for SMV. I kommunerne Hagfors. Hällefors. Ludvika. Ljusnarsberg og Smedjebacken, vil store virksomheder kunne modtage investeringsstøtte på op til 30% brutto (21.6% netto).
The investment aid intensity ceilings would be set at a maximum of 25% gross (18% net) for large enterprises and 35% gross (25.2% net) for SMEs.
Den 1. juli foreslog Kommissionen passende foranstaltninger, jf. EF­traktatens artikel 88. stk. 1. i forbindelse med EP's aktiviteter som led i Partnership Investment Programme.
