Kommissionen besluttede, at denne garanti var ulovlig og stillet uden godkendelse, og at den var uforenelig med fællesmarkedet for kul og stål. jf. EKSF-traktatens artikel 4. litra c).
The Commission decided that the guarantee was unlawful as it had been given without approval and was incompatible with the coal and steel common market pursuant to Article 4(c) of the ECSC Treaty.
De tyske myndigheder inddriver hele det garanterede beløb plus renter beregnet fra ildbetalingsdatoen til tilbagebetalingsdatoen.
The national authorities were required to recover the full amount paid when the guarantee was called in, with interest running from the date on which the aid had been granted to the date of its recovery.
Den 11. november traf Kommissionen en endelig negativ beslutning som afslutning pa den procedure, den havde indledt efter stålstøttereglernes artikel 6. stk. 5. over for en række støtteforanstaltninger i form af tilskud og lånegarantier til stålværket ESF Elbestahlvverk Feralpi GmbH (ESF).
On 11 November the Commission decided to terminate with a negative final decision the proceedings it had initiated under Article 6(5) of the Steel Aid Code in respect of several aid payments made in the form of subsidies and loan guarantees to the steel company ESF Elbestahlwerk Feralpi GmbH (ESF).
I marts 1993 og januar 1995 havde Kommissionen godkendt investeringsstøtte til støttemodtageren.
In March 1993 and January 1995 the Commission had authorised investment aid to the firm.
Den 9. december besluttede Kommissionen at afslutte' den procedure, den havde indledt efter stålstøttereglernes artikel 6, stk. 5. og godkende den supplerende investeringsstøtte til MCR Gesellschaft für mettallurgisches Recycling i forbindelse med miljøbeskyttelse. Kommissionen konstaterede især. at de planlagte investeringer gjorde det muligt at forbedre miljøet mærkbart og langt over mindstekravene, og konkluderede, at støtten kunne godkendes i medfør af artikel 3 i stålstøttereglerne og fællesskabsrammebestemmelserne for statsstøtte til miljøbeskyttelse1".
On 9 December the Commission decided to terminate the proceedings it had initiated under Article 6(5) of the Steel Aid Code and to authorise additional investment aid planned for MCR Gesellschaft fuÈr metallurgisches Recycling in the interests of environmental protection.
Den 9. december besluttede Kommissionen at indlede proceduren efter stålstøttereglernes artikel 6, stk. 5. over for stötte på i alt 1.49 mio. ECLI til stålværket Neue Maxhütte Stahlwerke GmbH i forbindelse med miljøbeskyttelsesinvesteringcr på en grund, som virksomheden benyttede til henlæggelse af slagger.
On 9 December the Commission decided to initiate proceedings under Article 6(5) of the Steel Aid Code in respect of aid totalling ECU 1.49 million to the steel company Neue MaxhuÈtte Stahlwerke GmbH for investment in measures to prevent pollution from a slag heap used by the company.
Kommissionen tvivler alvorligt på. at denne støtte kan være forenelig med fællesmarkedet, da investeringsomkostningerne i henhold til princippet om. at forureneren betaler, skal bæres af virksomheden selv.
The Commission had serious doubts about the aid's compatibility with the common market since, in accordance with the polluter pays principle, the cost of the investment should have been borne by the company itself.
Kommissionen to negative beslutninger om stålværket Neue Maxhütte Stahlwerke GmbH, hvori den krævede den ulovligt udbetalte støtte på 37.75 mio. ECU plus renter tilbagebetalt og under henvisning til EKSF-traktatens artikel 86 pålagde de tyske myndigheder at træffe alle de nødvendige foranstaltninger herfor.
On 16 December the Commission decided to initiate proceedings under Article 84 of the ECSC Treaty for Germany's failure to fulfil its obligations.93 In 1995 and 1996 it had taken two negative decisions in respect of Neue MaxhuÈtte, ordering ECU 37.75 million in unlawful aid granted to it to be repaid with interest and requiring the German authorities under Article 86 of the ECSC Treaty to take all appropriate measures in this respect.
Den tyske regering opfyldte ikke sin forpligtelse, og Kommissionen udbad sig de oplysninger fra den tyske regering, der var nødvendige for at træffe' en afgørelse i sagen.
Since the German Government had not complied, the Commission formally requested it to provide it with all the information necessary for it to take a position.
Den 16. december besluttede Kommissionen ikke at gøre indsigelse mod regional investeringsstøtte på i alt 10.2 mio. ECLJ til virksomheden Soveis stålværk.
On 16 December the Commission decided not to object to the granting of regional investment aid totalling ECU 10.2 million to the steel producer SOVEL. It found that the conditions contained in the
ANVENDELSEN AF KONKURRENCEREGLERNE I DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION
APPLICATION OF THE COMPETITION RULES IN THE EUROPEAN UNION rules on aid to the steel industry were met, in particular since there was no increase in production capacity, that the aid was confined to an amount of less than ECU 50 million and that the aid intensity was in line with the Greek regional aid scheme.
De spanske myndigheder havde anmeldt aftalen om køb af aktierne i INESPAL mellem sælger, det statsejede holdingselskab SEPI. og køber, den private virksomhed Aluminium Company of America (ALCOA).
The Spanish authorities had notified the Commission of the Inespal share purchase agreement between the seller, the state-owned holding company SEPI, and the buyer, the private company Aluminum Company of America (Alcoa).
Resultatet af aftalen ville være en privatisering af INESPAL.
The result of the agreement would be the privatisation of Inespal.
Kommissionen erfarede, at ALCOA var den enestekøber, der var interesseret i stort set alle INESPAL's aktiver (det bemærkes, at salget af disse aktiver under et gør dem mere sårbare), at ALCOA's tilbud var det bedste, og at sælgers miljøansvar og sociale forpligtelser kun vedrørte perioden inden indgåelsen af aftalen.
The Commission established that Alcoa was the only buyer interested in practically all of Inespal's assets (it was noted that the sale of these assets as a unit made them more valuable), that Alcoa's offer was the best one received and that the seller's environmental liabilities and social commitments concerned only the period preceding the date on which the agreement was concluded.
Endelig bemærkede Kommissionen, al de eltakster, INESPAL betaler (såkaldte G4-takster), fastsættes af myndighederne, offentliggøres i det spanske statstidende og gælder for flere store forbrugere i en række sektorer med sammeenergiefterspørgsel.
Finally, the Commission noted that the current electricity tariffs charged to Inespal (`G4' tariffs) were decided by the Government, were published in Spain's official gazette and were applicable on a trans-sectoral basis to several large consumers which satisfied the same conditions with regard to energy demand.
Endvidere vil Spanien underrette Kommissitmen om eventuelle ændringer af G4-taksterne.
Furthermore, Spain would inform the Commission of any modification of the G4 tariffs.
Den 13. maj besluttede Kommissionen at afslutte den procedure, den havde indledt i maj 1997. og betragte den støtte, Italien gennem lov nr. 549/95 havde givet til jern- og stålsektoren i form af skattelempelser, som uforenelig med fællesmarkedet.
On 13 May the Commission decided to terminate proceedings initiated in May 1997 and to find incompatible with the common market aid granted by Italy to the steel industry in the form of tax relief under Law No 549/95. More specifically, the Law offered firms investment aid in the form of tax exemptions on 50% of reinvested profits.
Denne støtte kan ikke kategoriseres under nogen af undtagelserne i stålstøttereglerne om støtte til F & U, miljøbeskyttelse eller lukning.
This aid was not covered by any of the exceptions allowed under the Steel Aid Code for aid for R & D, environmental protection or closures.
Kommissionen besluttede endvidere at kræve, at den støtte, de italienske myndigheder allerede hat udbetalt, betales tilbage.
The Commission also decided to require that any aid already disbursed by the Italian authorities be recovered.
Den 28. oktober besluttede Kommissionen at afslutte den procedure efter stålstøttereglernes artikel 6. stk. 5. den havde indledt over for miljøbeskyttelses- og FitlJ-støtte til stålværket Acciaierie di Bolzano.
On 28 October the Commission decided to terminate the proceedings it had initiated under Article 6(5) of the Steel Aid Code in respect of environmental protection aid and aid for R & D which Italy planned to grant to the steel company Acciaierie di Bolzano.
Efter at have analyseret de anmeldte oplysninger sammen med de italienske myndigheder, som i mellemtiden begrænsede støtten i forhold til deres oprindelige planer, fastslog Kommissionen, at støtte til F & U for et beløb på op til 5,73 mio. ECU og støtte til miljøbeskyttelse pa op til 0.4 mio. \:X'\\ var i overensstemmelse med de pågældende rammebestemmelser og forenelig med fællesmarkedet.
Having scrutinised the various projects with the Italian authorities and following a reduction in the amount of aid initially planned by the latter, the Commission concluded that the environmental protection aid of no more than ECU 5.73 million and

Den 17. juni traf Kommissionen en ny endelig negativ beslutning og krævede', at støtten fra Luxembourg til stålværket ProfilArbed skulle betales tilbage.
On 17 June the Commission adopted a negative final decision regarding, and ordered the recovery of, aid granted by Luxembourg to the steel company ProfilARBED.
I december 1994 godkendte Kommissionen i sin første beslutning den støtte'. Luxembourg ville give ProfilARBED som led i virksomhedens miljøinvesteringer i forbindelse med opførelsen af det nye stålværk i Esch-Schifflange.
In December 1994 the Commission had adopted an initial decision authorising the aid which Luxembourg was planning to grant towards investment in environmental protection to be undertaken by ProfilARBED in its new steelworks at Esch-Schifflange.
Førsteinstansretten. som fik sagen forelagt al' en konkurrent til ARBED. annullerede dennebeslutning''''. Kommissionen måtte derfor på ny behandle støtten i lyset af Førsteinstansrettens afgørelse.
The Court of First Instance annulled that decision in a case brought by a competitor of Arbed.99 The Commission was therefore obliged to reexamine the aid in the light of the Court's findings.
Efter at have behandlet sagen på baggrund af denne dom kom Kommissionen til den konklusion, at de luxembourgske myndigheders bemærkninger om sagens genstand ikke ændrede Kommissionens første indtryk, da den i 1994 besluttede at indlede procedure, nemlig at støtten ikke kunne komme i betragtning til nogen af de undtagelser fra det generelle forbud i EKSF-traktatens artikel 4. litra c).
In line with the judgment, it now concluded that observations put forward by the Luxembourg authorities were not in fact such as to alter the view of the case which it had taken at the very outset, when it initiated proceedings in June 1994, namely that the aid was not covered by any of the derogations from the general ban on aid laid down in Article 4(c) of the ECSC Treaty.
Derfor må støtten til ARBED. der beløber sig til 2.279 mio. ECU (91.950 mio. LUF), betragtes som uforenelig med fællesmarkedet, og den skal betales tilbage med renter beregnet fra den dato. hvor støtten blev givet, til tilbagebetalingsdatoen.
Accordingly, the aid received by ARBED, totalling ECU 2.279 million (LUF 91.95 million), had to be considered incompatible with the common market and recovered with interest from the date of payment until the date of recovery.
Den 28. oktober besluttede Kommissionen at afslutte proceduren efter artikel 88, stk. 2. og godkende regional investeringsstøtte på 7.02 mio. ECU til oprettelse af selskabet Tubos Europa i Extremadura.
On 28 October the Commission decided to terminate proceedings it had initiated under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty and to authorise the granting of ECU 7.02 million for the setting-up of Tubos Europa in Extremadura.
Selv om der er generel overkapacitet til produktion af traditionelle stålrør, har Kommissionen konstateret, at virksomheden som den første i Europa vil fremstille meget store koldsvejsede hulprofiler (med en diameter på over 406.4 mm), som der er stigende efterspørgsel efter.
Although there was general overcapacity in the production of traditional tubes, the Commission noted that the company was to produce, for the first time in Europe, very large coldformed hollow sections (diameter in excess of 406.4 mm), a product for which there was growing demand.
Kommissionen fandt derfor, at støtten var forenelig med fællesmarkedet.
The Commission therefore concluded that the aid was compatible with the common market.
Den 18. februar indledte Kommissionen proceduren efter artikel 88. stk. 2. over for støtte til Bremer Vulkan Marineschiffbau GmbH. et datterselskab af Bremer Vulkan Verbund AG i likvidation, i forbindelse med Lürssen Maritime Beteiligungen GmbH & Co KG's overtagelse af selskabet. Denne procedure vedrører de offentlige bidrag til omkostningerne ved at ansætte tidligere ansatte i et andet datterselskab af BVV, eftergivelse af gæld til Hibeg. et selskab, der ejes 100% af delstaten Bremen, og planerne om bidrag til de påtænkte investeringsomkostninger. I sin beslutning gav Kommissionen "K
On 18 February the Commission initiated Article 88(2) proceedings in respect of aid granted to Bremer Vulkan Marineschiffbau GmbH, a subsidiary of Bremer Vulkan Verbund AG (BVV) in liquidation, in connection with its takeover by LuÈrssen Maritime Beteiligungen GmbH & Co. KG. 98
ANVENDELSEN AF KONKURRENCEREGLERNE I DEN EUROPÆISKE UNION udtryk for tvivl om. hvorvidt disse foranstaltninger faktisk er fritaget fra traktatens artikel 87 og syvende direktiv om stotle til skibsbygningsindustrien.
In its decision, the Commission expressed doubts about whether these measures were indeed exempt from the provisions of Article 87 of the Treaty and the provisions of the Seventh Directive on aid to shipbuilding.
Aktiviteterne i Bremer Vulkan Marineschiffbau GmbH er begrænset til bygning af flådefartøjer, men Lürssen­koncernen er også aktiv inden for bygning al" handelsfartøjer.
While the activities of Bremer Vulkan Marineschiffbau GmbH were limited to naval shipbuilding, the LuÈrssen Group was active in merchant shipbuilding as well.
Hvis den nye kapacitet benyttes til bygning af handelsfartøjer eller andre­aktiviteter inden for civil søfart, må traktatens artikel 87 anvendes.
If the capacities acquired were used for merchant shipbuilding or other civil marine activities, the rules under Article 87 of the Treaty would have to be applied.
Domstolen annullerede ved en dom i oktober 1996ιιιΐen kommissionsbeslutning fra april 1995. som erklærede den tyske regerings støtte til selskabet Hibeg. der ejes 100% af delstaten Bremen, og stolte fra Hibeg via Krupp GmbH til Bremer Vulkan AG. som havde muliggjort salget af Krupp Atlas Elektronik GmbH fra Krupp GmbH til Bremer Vulkan, for uforenelig med fællesmarkedet.
By a judgment delivered in October 1996,103 the Court of Justice annulled an earlier Commission decision taken in April 1993 declaring incompatible with the common market aid awarded by the German Government to Hibeg, a company wholly owned by the Land of Bremen, and by Hibeg via Krupp GmbH to Bremer Vulkan AG, which had facilitated the sale of Krupp Atlas Elektronik GmbH by Krupp GmbH to Bremer Vulkan.
Domstolen fandt, at Kommissionens beslutning indeholdt utilstrækkelig begrundelse for visse punkter.
The Court ruled that the Commission's decision contained insufficient reasoning on certain points.
Kommissionen måtte derfor træffe en ny beslutning om at afslutte den procedure efter artikel SS. stk. 2. den havde indledt i maj 1992.
The Commission was therefore required to take a new decision to terminate the Article 88(2) proceedings which it had opened in May 1992.
På baggrund af Domstolens afgørelse vedtog Kommissionen den 25. februar en revideret beslutning, hvori den bekræftede sin opfattelse af, at den støtte, delstaten Bremen i 1991 gav Bremer Vulkan (som nu er i likvidation) med henblik på at overtage Krupp Atlas Elektronik, der fremstiller elektroniske systemer til skibe og til militær anvendelse, var uforenelig med fællesmarkedet.
In the light of the Court's ruling, the Commission adopted a revised decision on 25 February, in which it confirmed its view that the aid which the Land of Bremen had granted in 1991 to Bremer Vulkan (now in liquidation) towards the purchase of Krupp Atlas Elektronik, a manufacturer of electronic systems for shipping and defence, was incompatible with the common market.
Kommissionen undersøgte sagen for at afgøre, om støtten kunne frilages i medfør af traktatens artikel 87.
The Commission examined the measure to ascertain whether the aid qualified for exemption under Article 87 of the Treaty.
Støtten skulle imidlertid blot muliggøre en overførsel af Krupp Atlas Elektronik fra Krupp til Bremer Vulkan, uden nogen ændring af aktiviteterne.
However, the aid served only to facilitate the transfer of Krupp Atlas Elektronik from Krupp to Bremer Vulkan, without any change in the business being carried on.
Støtten påvirkede konkurrencen med andre virksomheder i EU og kunne ikke indrømmes en undtagelse i henhold til traktatens regler.
The aid affected competition with other enterprises in the Community and did not qualify for exemption under the rules of the Treaty.
Kommissionen kræver derfor, at støtten betales tilhage.
The Commission accordingly ordered the recovery of the aid.
Kommissionen besluttede den 25. februar at godkende privatiseringsaftalen for Volkswerft og den 29. juli for MTW­Schiffswerft og ikke at gøre indsigelse mod en anden støttetranche.
The Commission decided on 25 February in the case of Volkswerft and on 29 July in the case of MTW-Schiffswerft to approve the privatisation agreements for these yards and to raise no objections to a second instalment of aid.
Indtil 1996 tilhørte de to værfter i del tidligere DDR Bremer Vulkan Verbund AG.
Until 1996 the two shipyards, situated in the former GDR, had belonged to Bremer Vulkan Verbund AG.
Efter denne virksomheds konkurs blev de ^overtaget af Bundesanstalt für vereinigungsbedingte Sonderaufgaben (BvS) og delstaten Mecklen­burg­Vorpommern.
Following the latter's insolvency they were taken over by the Bundesanstalt fuÈr vereinigungsbedingte Sonderaufgaben (BvS) and the Land of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.
Efter en global udbudsprocedure cr begge værfter blevet solgt gennem en aktivaftale, der indebar, at køberne ikke overtog nogen af de udestående passiver, som især er forbundet med finansiering af skibsbygningskontrakter.
After a worldwide tendering procedure, both yards were sold under an asset deal in which the buyers did not takeover any of the pending liabilities, which were primarily linked to the financing of shipbuilding contracts.
Begge værfter havde givet rederne garantier for skibenes indtjening i de første år efter leveringen og markedsføringen af skibsanparter.
Both yards had given guarantees to the shipowners concerning the expected yields from the ships in the first few years after delivery and the placement on the market of shares in the ships.
Kommissionen koncentrerede derfor sin undersøgelse al' salgel om. hvorvidt de pågældende aftaler sikrede, at salget ikke kobledes sammen med støtte, der overstiger de beløb, der ma gives i henhold til de omstruktureringsplaner, der blev anmeldt, da Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 1013/97 om godkendelse af den støtte, der var nødvendig for at fortsætte omstruktureringsprogrammerne. blev vedtaget.
Therefore, the Commission's scrutiny of the sales concentrated on whether the agreements in question ensured that the sales were not coupled with any aid over and above the amounts to be

229 og forordning 1013/97 godkendte den derfor i begge tilfælde en anden støttetranche for at muliggøre en fortsættelse af omstruktureringen.
In accordance with Article 6 of the Seventh Directive on aid to shipbuilding and with Council Regulation 1013/97, it therefore approved in both cases a second instalment of aid for the continuation of the restructuring.
"b d) Udviklingsstøtte til Indonesien
d) Development assistance for Indonesia105
Den 25. februar afsluttede Kommissionen med en delvis negativ beslutning den procedure, den havde indledt over for Tysklands støtte til Volkswerft Stralsunds bygning af et opmudringsfartøj.
On 25 February the Commission terminated in part, with a negative final decision, Article 88(2) proceedings initiated in respect of aid granted by Germany for the construction of a dredger by Volkswerft Stralsund.
Støtten blev oprindelig godkendt som udviklingsstøtte, jf. artikel 4, stk. 7. i syvende direktiv om statsstøtte til skibsbygningsindustrien.
The aid had originally been approved as development aid under Article 4(7) of the Seventh Directive on aid to shipbuilding.
Kommissionen kom til den konklusion, at støtten var misbrugt, idet fartøjet blev benyttet uden for Indonesien i strid med betingelserne for Kommissionens godkendelse.
The Commission came to the conclusion that the aid had been misused since the vessel had been employed outside Indonesia, in contravention of the conditions laid down in the authorisation decision.
Den 22. juli 1997 vedtog Kommissionen en endelig negativ beslutning om misbrug af støtte på 400 mio. ECU til omstrukturering af MTW Schiffswerft i Wismar og Volkswerft Stralsund i form af anvendelse i andre selskaber i Bremer Vulkan-koncernen.
On 22 July 1997 the Commission adopted a negative final decision concerning the misuse of ECU 400 million in aid granted for the restructuring of MTW-Schiffswerft, Wismar, and of Volkswerft Stralsund, in other undertakings of the Bremer Vulkan Group.
Bremer Vulkan Verbund AG havde i 1992 og 1993 overtaget disse to skibsværfter i Østtyskland fra Treuhandanstalt. Der var givet store mængder støtte til omstrukturering og gennemgribende modernisering.
Bremer Vulkan Verbund AG had acquired these two shipyards, located in eastern Germany, in 1992 and 1993 from the Treuhandanstalt.
Rådet vedtog i 1992 en særlig undtagelse fra syvende direktiv om støtte til skibsbygningsindustrien (90/684/EØF) med henblik på omstrukturering af skibsværfterne i det tidligere DDR (Rådets direktiv 92/68/EØF).
In 1992 the Council had adopted a specific derogation under the Seventh Directive on aid to shipbuilding (90/684/EEC) for the restructuring of shipyards in the former GDR (Council Directive 92/68/EEC).
Ifølge denne lovgivning skulle støtten udelukkende anvendes til at omstrukturere de pågældende værfter.
According to this legislation, the aid had to be used exclusively for the restructuring of the yards in question.
På baggrund heraf og på grund af de meget store beløb besluttede Kommissionen kun at godkende udbetaling af støtte i særskilte trancher.
In view of this requirement and of the considerable amounts involved, the Commission had decided to authorise the aid in separate instalments only.
Under proceduren erfarede Kommissionen, at anmeldelserne af støtten i forbindelse med privatiseringerne var ufuldstændige.
The Commission learnt in the course of the proceedings that the notifications of the aid given in the context of the privatisations had been incomplete.
Store beløb var udbetalt på forhånd på grundlag af supplerende aftaler mellem Treuhandanstalt og Bremer Vulkan.
Large amounts of aid had been disbursed in advance under side agreements between the Treuhandanstalt and Bremer Vulkan.
