It would appear that indeed Saremar acts on behalf of RAS as an instrument for the implementation of RAS's maritime transport and regional development policies.
Seepärast leiab komisjon, et Saremarile teenuste pakkumise eest antud hüvitis on üldist majandushuvi pakkuvate teenuste 2011. aasta raamistiku kohaselt siseturuga kokkusobimatu.
It is however unclear whether that circumstance can justify the direct and exclusive award of compensation to Saremar.
Uurimise käigus esitas Sardiinia maakond rekapitaliseerimisega seoses kaks põhiväidet: esiteks, et meedet rakendati ainult osaliselt, ning teiseks, et see puudutas rahastamist, millele Saremaril oli seaduse järgi õigus.
In any event, the Commission does not need to decide on this issue for the purpose of this case, given that the aid measure does not comply with the 2011 SGEI Decision.
Sellegipoolest leiab komisjon, et Saremari võib lugeda päästmise ja ümberkorraldamise suuniste tähenduses raskustes olevaks äriühinguks ning seetõttu on tal õigus saada ümberkorraldamisabi.
Applicability of the 2011 SGEI Decision
Rekapitaliseerimine kujutab endast ümberkorraldamisabi, mida tuleb hinnata vastavalt päästmise ja ümberkorraldamise suunistele, et selgitada, kas see on Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 3 kohaselt kokkusobiv siseturuga.
The 2011 SGEI Decision only applies to aid under the form of public service compensation in connection to genuine SGEI services.
Arvestades, et päästmise ja ümberkorraldamise suunistes sätestatud kokkusobivuskriteeriumid ei ole täidetud (vt eelkõige põhjendustes 272–279 kirjeldatud alused), leiab komisjon, et Saremarile makstud hüvitised kujutavad endast raskustes äriühingule antud kokkusobimatut ümberkorraldamisabi.
On the basis of the grounds developed in recitals 180-218 above, the Commission concludes that RAS has neither demonstrated to the required legal standards the existence of a real public service need justifying the imposition of public service obligations on the routes in question, nor that those obligations were sufficiently precise.
Seepärast ei saa meedet lugeda siseturuga kokkusobivaks.
Consequently, the subsidy granted to Saremar for the operation of the two routes cannot be considered as compatible aid pursuant to the 2011 SGEI Decision.
KOKKUVÕTE
In any event, in order to be deemed compatible and exempted from the notification requirement by virtue of the 2011 SGEI Decision, the operation of a SGEI necessarily has to be entrusted by way of one or more acts, laying down:
Järgmised Sardiinia maakonna poolt Saremari kasuks võetud meetmed kujutavad endast siseturuga kokkusobimatut riigiabi:
The content and duration of the PSOs;
10 miljoni euro suurune hüvitis Sardiinia ja mandriosa vahelise kahe täiendava liini teenindamise eest, mis anti 7. augusti 2012. aasta maakonnaseadusega nr 15 ning maksti Saremarile välja kahe osamaksena 6. novembril 2012 ja 3. detsembril 2012;
The undertaking and, where applicable, the territory concerned;
rekapitaliseerimine summas 6099961, mille kohta tehti otsus 15. juunil 2012 (millest 824309,69 eurot maksti välja 11. juulil 2012).
The nature of any exclusive or special rights assigned to the undertaking;
Reklaamitegevuse eest tasumine ja kinnituskirjad ei hõlma riigiabi Saremarile.
A description of the compensation mechanism and the parameters for calculating, controlling and reviewing the compensation;
Kõnealused abimeetmed ei ole siseturuga kokkusobivad.
The arrangements for avoiding and recovering any overcompensation;
Itaalia on kõnealust riigiabi andnud ebaseaduslikult, rikkudes Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3.
A reference to the 2011 SGEI Decision.
ELi toimimise lepingu ja Euroopa Kohtu väljakujunenud praktika kohaselt võib komisjon juhul, kui ta leiab, et abi ei ole siseturuga kokkusobiv, otsustada, et liikmesriik peab sellise abi andmise lõpetama või seda muutma.
It is manifest that in this case the entrustment acts do not meet the requirements under letter (d), (e) and (f), above.
Samuti on Euroopa Kohus korduvalt sedastanud, et riigi kohustus tühistada abi, mida komisjon peab siseturuga kokkusobimatuks, on ette nähtud selleks, et taastada varasem olukord.
Therefore, the aid in question cannot be considered as compatible on the basis of the 2011 SGEI Decision.
Sellega seoses on Euroopa Kohus sedastanud, et kõnealune eesmärk on saavutatud, kui abisaaja on ebaseadusliku abina saadud summad tagasi maksnud ja seega loobunud eelistest, mis tal turul konkurentide ees olid, ja on taastatud abi andmisele eelnenud olukord.
According to RAS, the measure has been defined in its main elements before the entry into force of the new SGEI package and, therefore, the 2005 SGEI Decision, rather than the 2011 SGEI Decision, would be applicable for the purpose of compatibility assessment.
Kohtupraktika põhjal sätestati nõukogu määruse (EÜ) nr 659/1999 artiklis 14, et „kui ebaseadusliku abi korral tehakse negatiivne otsus, nõuab komisjon, et kõnealune liikmesriik peab võtma kõik vajalikud meetmed, et abisaajalt abi tagasi saada“.
However, in this case the compensation was granted only in August 2012 by Regional Law 15 of 7 August 2012 and therefore does not pre-date the entry into force of the 2011 SGEI Decision.
Seega, arvestades et põhjenduses 300 määratletud meetmeid loetakse ebaseaduslikuks ja siseturuga kokkusobimatuks riigiabiks, tuleb nende abimeetmete juba väljamakstud summa, st 10824309,69 eurot tagasi maksta, et taastada enne abi andmist valitsenud olukord.
RAS's argument is therefore untenable.
Käesolev otsus ei puuduta ega mõjuta muid 2011. ja 2012. aasta otsustes käsitletud ega huvitatud isikute komisjonile esitatud tähelepanekuid kõnealuste otsuste alusel alustatud uurimise käigus,
In conclusion, aid to Saremar cannot be deemed compatible and exempted from the notification requirement on the basis of the 2011 SGEI Decision.
ON VASTU VÕTNUD KÄESOLEVA OTSUSE:
In any event, given the absence of any provision setting a compensation for the operation of the two routes, and of the arrangements for avoiding and recovering any overcompensation, the compensation in question cannot be considered compatible and exempted from the notification requirement on the basis of the 2005 SGEI Decision either.
Artikkel 1
Saremar is an undertaking in difficulty within the meaning of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines
Riigiabi meetmed, mida Saremarile võimaldati hüvitisena avalike teenuste eest 7. augusti 2012. aasta maakonnaseadusega nr 15 ja Saremari aktsionäride 15. juuni 2012. aasta koosolekul otsustatud kapitalisüstina, on siseturuga kokkusobimatud.
For the reasons set out below, the Commission considers that Saremar can be considered as an undertaking in difficulty within the meaning of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines at the time the compensation in question was granted to it.
Itaalia on kõnealust riigiabi andnud ebaseaduslikult, rikkudes Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3.
According to point 9 of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines, a firm is regarded to be in difficulty if it is unable to recover through its own resources or by rising the funds it needs from shareholders or on the market, and if without the intervention of public authorities it will almost certainly go out of business.
Artikkel 2
In particular, according to point 10 of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines a firm is regarded to be in difficulty:
Itaalia nõuab artikli 1 lõikes 1 osutatud siseturuga kokkusobimatu abi abisaajalt tagasi.
in the case of a limited liability company, where more than half of its registered capital has disappeared and more than one quarter of that capital has been lost over the preceding 12 months;
Tagasinõutavatelt summadelt arvestatakse intressi alates abisaaja käsutusse andmise kuupäevast kuni summade tegeliku tagasisaamiseni.
when in a case of a company where at least some members have unlimited liability for the debt of the company, where more than half of its capital as shown in the company accounts has disappeared and more than one quarter has been lost in the preceding 12 months;
Intressi arvutatakse liitintressina kooskõlas komisjoni määruse (EÜ) nr 794/2004 V peatükiga ja komisjoni määrusega (EÜ) nr 271/2008, millega muudetakse määrust (EÜ) nr 794/2004.
whatever type of company concerned, where it fulfils the criteria under its domestic law for being the subject of collective insolvency proceedings.
Artikkel 3
Point 11 of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines provides that even when none of the circumstances set out in point 10 are present, a firm may still be considered as being in difficulty and lists some of the usual signs of such a situation, such as: increasing losses, diminishing turnover, growing stock inventories, excess capacity, declining cash flow, mounting debt, rising interest charges and falling or nil asset value.
Artiklis 1 osutatud abi nõutakse tagasi viivitamata ja tõhusalt.
Saremar had a EUR 5253530 loss in 2010.
Itaalia tagab käesoleva otsuse rakendamise nelja kuu jooksul pärast otsuse teatavakstegemise kuupäeva.
Despite the fact that the company experienced a EUR 2523439 profit in 2011 this result was not enough to cover the losses incurred in 2010.
Artikkel 4
In fact the 2010 losses were twice higher than the 2011 surplus.
Kahe kuu jooksul pärast käesoleva otsuse teatavakstegemist esitab Itaalia järgmise teabe:
The 2010 loss was carried over to 2012 and covered by a reduction in the company's capital from EUR 6099961 to EUR 1209010,64.
abisaajalt tagasi nõutav kogusumma (põhisumma ja intress);
Therefore, in 2011 Saremar lost over 80 % of its capital and must be regarded as a company in difficulties under point 10 of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines.
käesoleva otsuse täitmiseks juba võetud ja kavandatavate meetmete üksikasjalik kirjeldus;
Based on Saremar's 2012 balance sheet the company still recorded a EUR 1,7 million loss in 2012.
dokumendid, mis kinnitavad, et abisaajale on antud korraldus abi tagasi maksta.
As mentioned in recital 157 above, the Commission notes that Saremar itself considered its financial situation in 2012 as critical.
Itaalia teavitab komisjoni käesoleva otsuse täitmiseks võetud riiklike meetmete rakendamisest, kuni artiklis 1 osutatud kava kohaselt makstud abi on lõplikult tagasi makstud.
This state of facts has been reflected by Decision 41/23/EC adopted by RAS on 15 October 2012.
Itaalia esitab komisjoni taotlusel viivitamata teabe käesoleva otsuse täitmiseks juba võetud ja kavandatavate meetmete kohta.
The Decision mentioned a Note dated 4 October 2012 submitted by Saremar's President, by which the latter informed RAS, inter alia, that unless the provisions of Regional Law 15 of 7 August 2012 laying down a EUR 10 million subsidy to the company were immediately enforced, the company's indebtedness would call into question the continuity of its activity, with significant impact on both the public service and on the envisaged privatisation of the company.
Ta esitab ka üksikasjalikud andmed abisaajalt juba tagasi saadud abisummade ja intressi kohta.
Given the continuous losses, the liquidity problems and the analysis made by Saremar itself, the Commission concludes that the company must be considered a company in difficulty also on the basis of point 11 of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines.
Artikkel 5
In 2012, the financial difficulties of the Saremar were eased by the grating in November/December 2012 of the compensation subject to the current assessment.
Käesolev otsus on adresseeritud Itaalia Vabariigile.
Had Saremar not received these sums it would have recorded a EUR 13 million loss in 2012.
Brüssel, 22. jaanuar 2014
According to point 9 of the 2011 SGEI Framework, SGEI compensation granted to firms in difficulty must be assessed under the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines.
Komisjoni nimel
Given that the conditions set out in the 2011 SGEI Decision are not fulfilled, the compensation received by Saremar in difficulty for the operation of the two routes in question must be assessed under the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines, in order to establish whether it may be declared compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3) TFEU.
Joaquín Almunia
The company did not receive any rescue or restructuring aid in last 10 years.
ELT C 28, 1.2.2012, lk 18 ja ELT C 84, 22.3.2013, lk 58.
Hence, the Commission finds that the company complies with the ‘one time, last time’ principle, as set out in point 72 et seq. of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines.
ELT C 28, 1.2.2012, lk 18.
However, all the conditions laid down in the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines must be respected for State aid to a company in difficulty to be considered compatible with the internal market in accordance with Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Alates 2004. aastast kuulusid endisesse Tirrenia kontserni äriühingud Tirrenia di Navigazione S.p.A, Saremar – Sardegna Regionale Marittima S.p.A., Toremar – Toscana Regionale Marittima S.p.A., Siremar – Sicilia Regionale Marittima S.p.A. ja Caremar – Campania Regionale Marittima S.p.A.
First, pursuant to point 13 of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines a firm belonging to a larger business group is not normally eligible for restructuring aid, except where it can be demonstrated that the firm's difficulties are its own and are not the result of an arbitrary allocation of costs within the group, and that the difficulties are too serious to be dealt with by the group itself.
ELT C 84, 22.3.2013, lk 58.
Second, in order to consider a measure compatible under points 34 - 37 of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines, the restructuring plan has to analyse in detail the problems which have led to the difficulties and to set out the means by which to restore the long-term viability and health of the firm within a reasonable timescale.
2009. aasta seaduse tulemusena eraldati Ponziane saartega ühenduse pidamist korraldav äriüksus Caremarist ja anti üle Lazio maakonnale.
This has to be done on the basis of realistic assumptions as to future operating conditions with scenarios reflecting best-case, worst-case and intermediate assumptions and the firm's specific strengths and weaknesses.

The plan must be submitted in all relevant detail to the Commission and include, in particular, a market survey.

It is true that RAS submitted Saremar's business plan for the period 2011 - 2022, however that plan does not comply with the requirements of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines.
3 päeva nädalas 1. juunist 2012 kuni 19. juunini 2012 ja 4. septembrist 2012 kuni 15. septembrini 2012.
In this case Saremar's business plan was approved in July 2010, before the compensation was granted by RAS and it was not predicated on the idea that such measure would be adopted in favour of Saremar.

The plan was based on the assumption that the company would be partially privatised (RAS initially intended to divest 49 % of its stake in the company) by November 2010 and covered the twelve-year duration of the new public service contract sought to be signed with the buyer at the end of 2010.
SNAV teenindas Olbia–Civitavecchia liini kuni maini 2011, millal tema asemele tuli GNV.
The plan does not present in detail the circumstances leading to the difficulties of the company, nor does it describe the means to restore its long term viability and makes no reference to the operation by Saremar of two links between Sardinia and the mainland.
Vt joonealune märkus 8.
On this basis the Commission considers that the measure has not been conditioned on the implementation of a business plan fulfilling the requirements of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines, which is sufficient to exclude its compatibility with the internal market.

Third, measures must be taken to ensure that the aid's adverse effects on trading conditions are mitigated as far as possible.
CINi asutasid novembris 2010 Grimaldi, Marinvest ja Moby, et osaleda pakkumises Tirrenia omandamiseks.
The aid shall not unduly distort competition.
2011. aasta alguses omandas Marinvest (kellele kuulus valitsev mõju SNAVis) valitseva mõju GNV üle; samuti loovutas Moby märtsis 2011 oma osaluse CINis enda enamusaktsionärile Onorato Participazioni.
This usually means a limitation of the presence which the company can enjoy on its markets at the end of the restructuring period.
Seega olid märtsis 2011 CINi enamusaktsionärid Onorato Participazioni (kellel oli valitsev mõju Mobys) ja Marinvest (kellele kuulus valitsev mõju GNVs ja SNAVis).
The compensatory measures should be in proportion to the distortive effects of the aid and, in particular, to the size and relative importance of the firm on its market or markets.

The degree of compensatory measures must be established on a case-by-case basis and with regard to the objective of restoring the long-term-viability of the firm.
Konkurentsiasutus on kehtestanud teatavad tingimused, muu hulgas seoses koodijagamislepingute kohaldamata jätmisega Moby ja CINi vahel aastateks 2012–2016 ja selliste tariifide kohaldamisega Civitavecchia–Olbia, Genova – Porto Torrese ja Genova–Olbia liinil, millega säilitataks Mobyle 2009. aasta suvel laekunud keskmine ühikutulu (välja arvatud otseselt punkrikütuse kulude kasvuga seotud kasv).
Moreover, according to point 7 of the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines the Commission will request compensatory measures which minimise the effect on competitors.
CIN/Tirrenia hakkab Moby asemel teenindama Genova – Porto Torrese liini.
RAS did not propose any compensatory measure in compensation for the potential distortion of competition caused by the granting of the aid.
Civitavecchia–Olbia liinil loovutavad Moby ja CIN 2013. ja 2014. aasta suvehooajal teistele ettevõtjatele 10 % võimsusest.
Fourth, the aid must be limited to the strict minimum, necessary to enable the restructuring.
Tavaliselt teenindas liini kuni maini 2011 SNAV.
The beneficiary is expected to make a significant contribution to the restructuring plan from its own resources, including the sale of assets not essential to the company's survival, or from external financing at market conditions.

Such contribution must be real, i.e. actual, excluding all future profits such as cash flow, and is a sign that the markets believe in the feasibility of the return to viability of the company.

The Commission concludes that the subsidy granted to Saremar to cover the deficit resulted from the operation in 2011 and 2012 of the two routes to mainland Italy constitutes incompatible aid to Saremar in difficulty.
