Where the Commission has serious doubts as to whether its decisions are being complied with, it should have at its disposal additional instruments allowing it to obtain the information necessary to verify that its decisions are being effectively complied with.
Enne otsuse tühistamist ja uue otsuse tegemist algatab komisjon ametliku uurimismenetluse vastavat artikli 4 lõikele 4.
For this purpose on-site monitoring visits are an appropriate and useful instrument, in particular for cases where aid might have been misused.
Artikleid 6, 9 ja 12, artikli 13 lõiget 1 ning artikleid 15, 16 ja 17 kohaldatakse mutatis mutandis.
Therefore the Commission should be empowered to undertake on-site monitoring visits and should obtain the cooperation of the competent authorities of the Member States where an undertaking opposes such a visit.
III PEATÜKK
Consistency in the application of the State aid rules requires that arrangements be established for cooperation between the courts of the Member States and the Commission.
EBASEADUSLIKU ABIGA SEOTUD MENETLUS
Such cooperation is relevant for all courts of the Member States that apply Article 107(1) and Article 108 TFEU.
Artikkel 12
In particular, national courts should be able to ask the Commission for information or for its opinion on points concerning the application of State aid rules.
Kontrollimine, taotlus teabe saamiseks ja teabe esitamise korraldus
The Commission should also be able to submit written or oral observations to courts which are called upon to apply Article 107(1) or Article 108 TFEU.
Ilma et see piiraks artikli 24 kohaldamist, võib komisjon omal algatusel kontrollida mis tahes allikast väidetava ebaseadusliku abi kohta saadud teavet.
When assisting national courts in this respect, the Commission should act in accordance with its duty to defend the public interest.
Komisjon kontrollib põhjendamatu viivituseta kõiki kaebusi, mis huvitatud pooled on artikli 24 lõike 2 kohaselt esitanud, ning tagab, et asjaomasele liikmesriigile teatatakse täielikult ja korrapäraselt läbivaatamisel tehtud edusammud ja selle tulemused.
Those observations and opinions of the Commission should be without prejudice to Article 267 TFEU and not legally bind the national courts.
Vajaduse korral taotleb komisjon asjaomaselt liikmesriigilt teavet.
They should be submitted within the framework of national procedural rules and practices including those safeguarding the rights of the parties, in full respect of the independence of the national courts.
Artikli 2 lõiget 2 ja artikli 5 lõikeid 1 ja 2 kohaldatakse mutatis mutandis.
Observations submitted by the Commission on its own initiative should be limited to cases that are important for the coherent application of Article 107(1) or Article 108 TFEU, in particular to cases which are significant for the enforcement or the further development of Union State aid case law.
Pärast ametliku uurimismenetluse algatamist võib komisjon taotleda teavet ka teiselt liikmesriigilt, ettevõtjalt või ettevõtjate ühenduselt, tehes seda vastavalt artiklitele 7 ja 8, mida kohaldatakse mutatis mutandis.
In the interests of transparency and legal certainty, it is appropriate to give public information on Commission decisions while, at the same time, maintaining the principle that decisions in State aid cases are addressed to the Member State concerned.
Kui liikmesriik artikli 5 lõike 2 kohasele meeldetuletusele vaatamata ei esita taotletud teavet komisjoni määratud tähtaja jooksul või kui ta ei esita seda täielikuna, nõuab komisjon teabe esitamist otsusega („teabe esitamise korraldus”).
It is therefore appropriate to publish all decisions which might affect the interests of interested parties either in full or in a summary form or to make copies of such decisions available to interested parties, where they have not been published or where they have not been published in full.
Otsuses määratakse kindlaks, millist teavet nõutakse, ja nähakse ette ajavahemik, mille jooksul see tuleb esitada.
The Commission, when publishing its decisions, should respect the rules on professional secrecy, including the protection of all confidential information and personal data, in accordance with Article 339 TFEU.
Artikkel 13
The Commission, in close liaison with the Advisory Committee on State aid, should be able to adopt implementing provisions laying down detailed rules concerning the procedures under this Regulation,

aid which is deemed to be an existing aid because it can be established that at the time it was put into effect it did not constitute an aid, and subsequently became an aid due to the evolution of the internal market and without having been altered by the Member State.
Artikkel 15
Where certain measures become aid following the liberalisation of an activity by Union law, such measures shall not be considered as existing aid after the date fixed for liberalisation;
Komisjoni otsused

‘aid scheme’ means any act on the basis of which, without further implementing measures being required, individual aid awards may be made to undertakings defined within the act in a general and abstract manner and any act on the basis of which aid which is not linked to a specific project may be awarded to one or several undertakings for an indefinite period of time and/or for an indefinite amount;

CHAPTER II
Abi tagastamine
PROCEDURE REGARDING NOTIFIED AID
Kui ebaseadusliku abi korral tehakse negatiivne otsus, nõuab komisjon, et kõnealune liikmesriik peab võtma kõik vajalikud meetmed, et abisaajalt abi tagasi saada („tagastamisotsus”).
Article 2
Komisjon ei nõua abi tagastamist, kui see on vastuolus liidu õiguse üldpõhimõttega.
Notification of new aid
Vastavalt tagastamisotsusele kuuluvad tagastatava abi hulka intressid, mille kohase määra kinnitab komisjon.
Save as otherwise provided in regulations made pursuant to Article 109 TFEU or to other relevant provisions thereof, any plans to grant new aid shall be notified to the Commission in sufficient time by the Member State concerned.
Intressi makstakse ajavahemiku eest, mil ebaseaduslik abi oli abisaaja käsutuses, kuni selle tagastamise kuupäevani.
The Commission shall inform the Member State concerned without delay of the receipt of a notification.
Ilma et see piiraks Euroopa Liidu Kohtu poolt vastavalt ELi toimimise lepingu artiklile 278 tehtud korralduste kohaldamist, toimub tagastamine viivitamata ja vastavalt kõnealuse liikmesriigi siseriiklikus õiguses kehtivale korrale, tingimusel et see võimaldab komisjoni otsuse kohest ja tõhusat täitmist.
In a notification, the Member State concerned shall provide all necessary information in order to enable the Commission to take a decision pursuant to Articles 4 and 9 (‘complete notification’).
Sel eesmärgil ja juhuks, kui toimub siseriikliku kohtu menetlus, peavad kõnealused liikmesriigid võtma kõik vajalikud ja nende vastavas õigussüsteemis kättesaadavad meetmed, sealhulgas ajutised meetmed, ilma et see piiraks liidu õiguse kohaldamist.

Katkenud aegumistähtaja kulg algab iga kord uuesti.
Where the Commission, after a preliminary examination, finds that no doubts are raised as to the compatibility with the internal market of a notified measure, in so far as it falls within the scope of Article 107(1) TFEU, it shall decide that the measure is compatible with the internal market (‘decision not to raise objections’).
