Having regard to the Commission Decision C(2011) 4444 of 29 June 2011 [1],
võttes arvesse komisjoni 29. juuni 2011. aasta otsust K(2011) 4444 [1],
Having called on interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to the provision(s) cited above and having regard to their comments,
olles vastavalt eespool nimetatud artiklitele kutsunud huvitatud isikuid üles esitama märkusi ning võttes neid märkusi arvesse
On 17 July 2008, the Commission received a letter from a complainant wishing to remain anonymous (‘the first complainant’) alleging that the Republic of Bulgaria had granted aid in the context of the swap of ownership of privately owned forest land for government-owned public forest land often followed by a change in the designated use of the swapped land from forest land to land available for construction.
17. juulil 2008 sai komisjon kaebuse isikult, kes soovib jääda anonüümseks (edaspidi „esimene kaebuse esitaja”).
The first complainant submitted additional information by letters of 28 August 2008, 3 September 2008, 1 October 2008, 5 December 2008, 18 February 2010, 12 October 2010 and 26 January 2011.
Kaebuses väideti, et Bulgaaria Vabariik oli andnud abi, mis seisnes eraomandis oleva metsamaa vahetamises riigi omandis oleva metsamaa vastu, millele sageli järgnes maa otstarbe muutmine metsamaast ehitusmaaks.
On 27 January 2009, additional information on the contested swap transactions was received by the Commission from a third party.
Esimene kaebuse esitaja andis täiendavat teavet 28. augusti 2008. aasta, 3. septembri 2008. aasta, 1. oktoobri 2008. aasta, 5. detsembri 2008. aasta, 18. veebruari 2010. aasta, 12. oktoobri 2010. aasta ja 26. jaanuari 2011. aasta kirjadega.
The Bulgarian authorities provided the Commission with information on the contested swap transactions by letters dated 2 September 2008, 28 October 2008, 4 January 2010, 23 March 2010, 27 March 2010, 30 August 2010 and 14 February 2011.
Komisjoni otsus menetluse algatamise kohta (edaspidi „algatamisotsus”) avaldati Euroopa Liidu Teatajas [2].
During meetings held between the Commission’s services and the Bulgarian authorities on 22 February 2010, 12 October 2010 and 3 February 2011, the latter provided additional information on those swaps.
Komisjon palus kõikidel huvitatud isikutel esitada meetme kohta oma märkused.
By letter of 29 June 2011, the Commission informed the Republic of Bulgaria that it had decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 108(2) of the Treaty in respect of the contested swap transactions.
Bulgaaria ametiasutused esitasid 29. septembril 2011 saabunud kirjaga algatamisotsuse kohta oma märkused.
The Commission decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure (‘the opening decision’) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union [2].
Komisjon sai algatamisotsuse kohta märkusi järgmistelt huvitatud isikutelt: Ecobalkani-Bulgaria EOOD, [3] Vihren OOD, [4] Aqua Estate OOD, [5] Elkabel AD, [6] Jivka Blagoeva, [7] V-N-G Confort OOD, [8] Yavor Haytov, [9] Simeon Stoev Mirov, [10] LM Impex EOOD, [11] All Seas Property 2 OOD, [12] Litex Commerce AD, [13] Foros Development EAD, [14] Izgrev 5 EOOD, [15] BOIL OOD, [16] BG Land Co OOD, [17] Mirta Engineering EOOD, [18] Beta Forest EOOD, [19] Kosta Gerov, [20] Marieta Babeva, [21] Dimitar Terziev, [22] Svetoslav Mihailov ja Elizabet Mihailova, [23] ning ühelt kaebuse esitajalt, kes taotles oma andmete avaldamata jätmist [24].

On 26 July 2012, the Commission requested additional information from the Bulgarian authorities.
MAA VAHETAMINE
On 19 September 2012, the Bulgarian authorities provided the requested information.
See jäi nii kuni 2000. aastani, kui alustati metsamaa tagastamist endistele eraomanikele.
On 3 October 2012, the Commission requested further clarifications from Elkabel AD, one of the third parties who submitted comments on the opening decision, which were provided on 31 October 2012.
Metsaseaduse [26] 22. veebruaril 2002 jõustunud muudatuse alusel anti võimalus vahetada hiljuti erastatud metsamaa riigimetsa koosseisu kuuluva, riigi omandis oleva metsamaa vastu.
By letters of 14 January 2013, 17 May 2013, 22 July 2013 and 22 October 2013, the Commission requested additional information from the Bulgarian authorities, which was provided on 4 and 5 February 2013, 25 June 2013 and 5 July 2013, 16 and 23 August 2013, and 19 November 2013 and 20 December 2013, respectively.
Kõnealune metsaseaduse muudatus kehtis 27. jaanuarini 2009 ja sellega määrati kindlaks maa vahetamise kord ja tingimused.
Part of the information submitted with the last submission was subsequently resubmitted by the Bulgarian authorities by e-mail of 21 January 2014.
Kõnealuse määruse alusel määratakse metsamaatüki alushind kindlaks kõnealuse maa alusväärtuse ja puistu väärtuse (maatükil paiknevad taimeliigid) summana.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURE
Maa väärtus määratakse maa keskmise väärtuse alusel vastavalt taimede jaoks identseid kasvutingimusi pakkuvatele maakategooriatele (150 kasvukoha tüüpi vastavalt alushinna määruse 1. lisale).
THE LAND SWAPS
Väärtust korrigeeritakse seejärel korrigeerimiskoefitsiendi alusel, mis võtab arvesse maa asukohta kohaliku ja riikliku taristu suhtes.
This remained the case until 2000, when the restitution of forest land to previous private owners was started.
kus:
On the basis of an amendment to the Forest Act [26], which came into effect on 22 February 2002, swaps of recently privatised forest land with government-owned public forest land from the State forest fund were made possible.
p kattega tee läheduses paiknemise koefitsient, mõõdetuna sirgjoonena (0,00–0,20)
This amendment to the Forest Act was in force until 27 January 2009 and defined the order and conditions under which those swaps were conducted.
s linnapiirkonna läheduses paiknemise koefitsient, mõõdetuna sirgjoonena (0,00–0,25)
For the purposes of the swaps, the prices of the privately owned and publicly owned forest land were determined on the basis of a specialised regulation, namely, the Regulation on the calculation of basic prices, prices for land in excluded areas and creating rights of use and easements in respect of forests and forest stock land [27] (the ‘Regulation on basic prices’), which entered into force on 18 November 2003.
m mere läheduses paiknemise koefitsient, mõõdetuna sirgjoonena (0,00–0,20)
Bulgarian law did not allow expert evaluators to deviate from the prices determined for forest land by applying the Regulation on basic prices.
g linna läheduses paiknemise koefitsient, väljendatuna näitajates, mis kajastavad kaugust vastava linnani (lühim tee mööda maanteed kõnealuse maatüki ja linna vahel).
On the basis of that regulation, the basic price of a plot of forest land is determined as the sum of the basic value of that land and the value of the stand (plant species situated on that land).
Linnad on jagatud kuude rühma, nagu on näidatud tabelis 1.
The value of the land is determined on the basis of the average value of land according to the categories of land offering identical conditions for the growth of plants (150 site types, as per Annex 1 of the Regulation on basic prices).
Tabel 1
That value is then adjusted using an adjustment coefficient that takes account of the location of the land in relation to the local and national infrastructure.
rühm:
That adjustment coefficient (Km), set out in Annex 2 of the Regulation on basic prices, is determined by using the following formula:
Sofia (0,00–0,70)
where:
rühm:
p coefficient of proximity to a surfaced road measured in a straight line (from 0,00 to 0,20)
Ruse, Plovdiv, Burgas ja Varna (0,00–0,50)
s coefficient of proximity to an urban area measured in a straight line (from 0,00 to 0,25)
rühm:
m coefficient of proximity to the sea measured in a straight line (from 0,00 to 0,20)
Blagoevgrad, Veliko Tarnovo, Vratsa, Pleven ja Stara Zagora (0,00–0,40)
g coefficient of proximity to a city, expressed in figures reflecting the distance to a given city (shortest road distance between the plot in question and city).
rühm:
Cities are divided into six groups as set out in Table 1:
Muud piirkonna linnad (0,00–0,35)
Table 1
rühm:
Group 1:
Muud suurlinnad (Botevgrad, Gorna Orjahovitsa, Dimitrovgrad, Dupnitsa, Kazanlak, Karlovo, Lom, Petritš, Samokov, Svištov ja Tšerven Brjag (0,00–0,30)
Sofia (from 0,00 to 0,70)
rühm:
Group 2:
Muud munitsipaalkeskused (0,00–0,10)
Ruse, Plovdiv, Burgas, and Varna (from 0,00 to 0,50)
Maa väärtust korrigeeritakse lisaks hektarile juurdehindluse lisamisega (lisatasu), mis kehtestatakse maatüki asukohas täheldatud maa keskmise hinna alusel.
Group 3:
Lisatasud on sätestatud alushinna määruse 3. lisas ja ära toodud tabelis 2.
Blagoevgrad, Veliko Tarnovo, Vratza, Pleven, and Stara Zagora (from 0,00 to 0,40)
Tabel 2
Group 4:
Lisatasu
other district cities (from 0,00 to 0,35)
(Bulgaaria leevi / hektar)
Group 5:
Sofia, riiklikud kuurordid ja külgnevad puhkepiirkonnad, merest 10 kilomeetri kaugusel paiknev maa
other big cities (Botevgrad, Gorna Oryahovitza, Dimitrovgrad, Dupnitza, Kazanlak, Karlovo, Lom, Petrich, Samokov, Svishtov, and Cherven Bryag (from 0,00 to 0,30)
ja 2. kategooria asulad
Group 6:
ja 4. kategooria asulad
other municipal centres (from 0,00 to 0,10)
ja 6. kategooria asulad
The value of the land is further adjusted by adding an increase per hectare (increment) which is set on the basis of the average price of land observed in the area where the plot is situated.
ja 8. kategooria asulad
Those increments are laid down in the provisions of Annex 3 to the Regulation on basic prices and are indicated in Table 2:
0(20) Selle mehhanismi alusel kindlaks määratud maa koguväärtust nimetatakse maa alusväärtuseks.
Table 2
Puistu väärtus (maatükil paiknevad taimeliigid) on väärtus teatavas konkreetses vanuses ja selle prognoositav väärtus raievanuses.
Increment
Metsapuistutest pärineva metsa väärtus konkreetses vanuses (vanus hindamise ajal) on võrdne tuluga, mis saadakse kõnealuste sortide keskmise turuhinnaga müümisel, millest arvatakse maha langetamise, esmase töötlemise ja ajutisse ladustamiskohta transportimise kulud.
(BGN/hectares)
Kui tulu ei kata kulusid, siis loetakse, et puit on väärtusetu.
Sofia, national resorts and adjacent residential holiday areas, land located within 10 kilometres from the sea
Müügitulu määratakse kindlaks puidukategooriate varude ja koguse liigitamise teel.
Settlements of 1st and 2nd category
Puidu langetamise ja esmase töötlemisega seotud kulud (Bulgaaria leevi / tihumeeter) keskmise raskusastmega metsalangetuspiirkonnas määratakse kindlaks maatükil kasvavate puuliikide ja puidu kategooria alusel.
Settlements of 3rd and 4th category
Puidu transportimise kulud määratakse kindlaks puuliikide, puidu kategooria ja keskmise transpordikauguse alusel kõnealuselt maatükilt.
Settlements of 5th and 6th category
Transpordikulude määramiseks korrutatakse iga transpordikilomeeter koefitsiendiga, mis võtab arvesse teekonna raskusastet.
Settlements of 7th and 8th category
Metsanduse täitevamet [28] määrab kolme aasta jooksul (viimane aasta on kahekordse kaaluga) kogutud statistiliste andmete põhjal arvutatud kaalutud keskmiste alusel korrapäraselt kindlaks ja ajakohastab keskmised turuhinnad ja puidu langetamise, esmase töötlemise ja transportimisega seotud kulud.
0(20) The total value of the land determined through this mechanism is referred to as the basic value of the land.
Hindaja kindlaksmääratud puistu väärtuse lisamise kaudu maa alusväärtusele saadaksegi metsamaatüki alushind.
The value of the stand (plant species situated on the land) is the value of the stand’s current age and the projected value of its rotation age.
Bulgaaria teatavates piirkondades seadusega kehtestatud niinimetatud linnastumise vastase erikaitse aladel asuva maa suhtes kohaldatakse alushinna korrigeerimist keskkonda kujundava looduse ja metsamaa puhkefunktsioonide kaitseks.
The value of wood from forest stands at their current age (the age at the time of valuation) is equal to the profits from the sale of the varieties in question at average market prices where costs related to felling, primary processing and transportation to a temporary storage place are deducted.
Vastavalt alushinna määruse 19. lisale korrutatakse sellistes piirkondades paiknevate metsakinnistute alusväärtus koefitsiendiga (К), mis on toodud tabelis 3 [29].
If the income does not cover the costs, the wood is not considered to have any value.
Tabel 3
Income from sales is determined by grading the stock and the volume of wood categories.
Musta mere esimene rannikuala
The costs (BGN/cubic metre) related to felling and primary processing of wood with an average level of difficulty of the wood-felling area are determined by the type of trees and category of wood on the land.
К = 6
The costs of wood transportation are determined by the type of trees, the category of the wood and the average transportation distance from the plot in question.
Musta mere teine rannikuala
The transport costs are multiplied to each kilometre of transport by a coefficient which takes into account the level of difficulty of the route.
К = 5
The average market prices and the costs related to felling, primary processing and transportation of wood should be regularly determined and updated by the Executive Forests Agency (‘EFA’) [28], on the basis of weighted averages calculated from statistical data collected over a period of three years (the last year carries double the weight).
Kuurordialad, kuurordid ja riikliku tähtsusega asulad
Thus, by adding the value of the stand, as determined by an evaluator, to the basic value of the land, the basic price of a plot of forest land is obtained.
К = 4
To this basic price, an adjustment accounting for the protection of the environment-shaping nature and recreational functions of the forest land is made to land located in areas of so-called ‘special protection against urbanisation’, established in certain regions of Bulgaria by law.
Mets ja maa, mis paiknevad riiklike ja kohalike teede servast kuni ehituspiirangu joonteni asuvates piirkondades
Pursuant to the provisions of Annex 19 to the Regulation on basic prices, the basic value of forest properties situated in such areas are multiplied by a coefficient (К) identified in Table 3 [29], namely:
Kuurordialad, kuurordid ja kohaliku tähtsusega asulad
Table 3
Lõpuks kohaldatakse vastavalt alushinna määruse 20. lisale maa alushinnale niinimetatud tururegulaatori koefitsienti.
Black Sea coast first area
Koefitsienti väljendatakse Bulgaaria leevides ruutmeetri kohta ja see jääb vahemikku kümnest mereäärse maa, suurte mägikuurortide ja Sofia puhul kuni üheni kõige vähem ligitõmbavas piirkonnas paikneva maa puhul.
К = 6;
Eeltoodule vaatamata pidi eraõiguslik isik maksma riigile hinnaerinevuse eest hüvitist, kui ta sai vahetustehingu käigus metsamaad, mille halduslikult kehtestatud koguhind oli kõrgem tema loovutatud maa hinnast.
Black Sea coast second area
Bulgaaria ametiasutused väidavad, et riik nõustus vahetusega üldjuhul ainult siis, kui sai selle tulemusena halduslikult kehtestatud kõrgema hinnaga maa.
К = 5;
See reegel kehtib siiski ainult juhul, kui eraomandis oleva maatüki halduslikult kehtestatud koguhind on kõrgem kui halduslikult kehtestatud hind riigi omandis olevale maatükile, mille vastu see vahetati, ega ole seotud ruutmeetri hinnaga.
Resort areas, resorts, and settlements of national significance
27. jaanuaril 2009 jõustus metsamaa vahetamise keeld.
К = 4;
Vaidlustatud vahetustehingute vaatlusalune ajavahemik ulatub seega 1. jaanuarist 2007, s.o Bulgaaria Vabariigi Euroopa Liiduga liitumise kuupäevast, kuni 27. jaanuarini 2009, s.o vahetustehingute moratooriumi kuupäevani (edaspidi „vaatlusalune periood”).
Forest and land located in areas stretching from the edge of national and municipal roads to the restrictive lines for construction
MAA SIHTOTSTARBE MUUTMINE
Resort areas, resorts, and settlements of local significance
Kaebuse esitajad väidavad peale selle, et vahetustehingutele järgnes sageli maa sihtotstarbe muutmine metsamaast ehitusmaaks ja et see muudatus suurendas veelgi eraomandis olnud maatüki vastu vahetatud riigile kuulunud metsamaa turuväärtust.
Finally, a so-called ‘market regulator coefficient’ is applied to the basic price of the land according to Annex 20 to the Regulation on basic prices.
Bulgaaria ametiasutused selgitasid, et metsaseadus ei hõlma maa sihtotstarbe muutmise menetlust (erinevalt vahetustehingutest), vaid sellele laienevad erinevad õigusaktid, muu hulgas ruumilise planeerimise seadus (ZUT) [30].
That coefficient is expressed in BGN/m2 and ranges from 10 for land adjacent to the seaside, big mountain resorts and Sofia, to 1 for the least attractively situated land.
Kõnealuse õigusakti kohaselt võib iga metsamaaomanik nõuda oma metsamaa sihtotstarbe muutmist ehitusmaaks, saates taotluse metsanduse täitevameti – mis oli põllumajandus- ja toiduministeeriumi [31] osa – tegevdirektorile.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the private party received forest land under the swap transaction of a higher total administrative price than the land it relinquished, it had to pay compensation to the State for that difference in price.
Seejärel uurib taotlust (sisemistest ja võimalik, et välistest) ekspertidest koosnev komisjon ja esitab arvamuse tegevdirektorile, kes võtab taotluse kohta vastu eelotsuse.
According to the Bulgarian authorities, as a general rule, the State only accepted swaps as a result of which the State received land of a higher administrative value.
Kui otsus on positiivne ja kinnitab taotluse aluseid ja seaduslikkust, edastatakse see kõikidele sihtotstarbe muutmise eest vastutavatele teenistustele (piirkonna juht, vallavanem ja metsade eest vastutava piirkondliku direktoraadi direktor).
This rule, however, relates only to the total administrative price of the privately owned plot being higher than the administrative price of the publicly owned plot for which it was swapped, not its price per square metre.
Positiivse eelotsuse alusel esitab omanik asjaomasele kohalikule omavalitsusele taotluse üksikasjaliku üldkava tellimiseks, koostamiseks ja heakskiitmiseks.
On 27 January 2009, a ban on swaps of forest land came into force.
Selline kava eeldab konsulteerimist kõikide (kohalike) sidusrühmadega.
The period under review of the contested swap transactions is thus from 1 January 2007, the date of the accession of the Republic of Bulgaria to the Union, to 27 January 2009, the date of the swaps moratorium (‘the period under review’).
Kui vastutavad ametiasutused kava heaks kiidavad ja see jõustub, esitab maa omanik põllumajandus- ja toiduministrile taotluse kõnealuse metsamaa kaitsemetsade hulgast väljaarvamiseks.
THE CHANGE IN THE DESIGNATED USE OF THE LAND
Kui taotlus rahuldatakse, tuleb tasuda lõiv, mille on kindlaks määranud sõltumatu hindaja vastavalt alushinna määrusele.
The complainants further allege that the swap transactions were often followed by a change in the designated use of the land from forest land to land available for construction and that that change further increased the disparity between the market value of the government-owned public forest land swapped with the privately owned plot.
Kui metsamaa omanik on lõivu vastutavatele ametiasutustele tasunud, algatatakse haldusotsuse tegemise menetlus maa sihtotstarbe muutmiseks.
The Bulgarian authorities explained that the procedure for the change in the designated use of the land is not governed by the provisions of the Forest Act (like the swap transactions) but by a separate set of legislation, among others, the Spatial Planning Act (ZUT) [30].
Olenevalt kinnistu suurusest teeb otsuse põllumajandus- ja toiduminister (kui tegemist on alla 10 hektari suuruse kinnistuga) või ministrite nõukogu.
According to that legislation, any owner of forest land may request a change in the designated use of their forest land into land available for construction by sending an application to the Executive Director of the EFA, which was part of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food [31].
3. septembril 2009 kehtestati moratoorium vahetatud maa sihtotstarbe hilisemale muutmisele.
A commission of (internal and potentially external) experts then examines that request and provides an opinion to the Executive Director, who adopts a preliminary decision on the application.
