On 20 April, the Commission approved the aid granted by France between 1980 and 2001 to the Coopérative d’exportation du livre français (Celf). e Commission considered that the aid to Celf for processing small orders of French-language books, although granted unlawfully, was however compatible with the common market under Article 87(3)(d) of the Treaty in that it is proportional to the cultural objective pursued. e Commission found that the aid did not a ect trade and competition in the Community to an extent contrary to the common interest. e purpose of the aid was to maintain the non-profitable activity of Celf.
20. aprillil kiitis komisjon heaks toetuse, mille Prantsusmaa andis aastatel 1980–2001 Coopérative d’exportation du livre français’le (Celf). Komisjon otsustas, et kuigi Celfile anti toetust prantsuskeelsete raamatute väiketellimuste täitmise eest õigusvastaselt, oli see siiski ühisturuga kooskõlas vastavalt asutamislepingu artikli 87 lõike 3 punktile d, sest see oli proportsionaalne taotletava kultuurilise eesmärgiga.
Celf had to accept any type of order from booksellers (not nal consumers) established abroad in non-French-speaking areas, irrespective of the amount of the order, pro tability and destination.
Komisjon leidis, et toetus ei mõjutanud ühenduse kaubandust ja konkurentsi ulatuses, mis oleks vastuolus ühiste huvidega. Toetuse eesmärgiks oli säilitada Celmittetulunduslik tegevus.
As part of the aid, it received an operating grant intended to o set the extra cost of handling orders below FRF 500 (i.e. approximately EUR 76). is decision took into proper consideration the ruling of the Court of First Instance of 28 February 2002 which partially annulled an older Commission decision of 10 June 1998 on the ground that the Commission should have distinguished the export agency market from that for the export of French-language books in general.
Celf pidi vastu võtma kõik tellimused välismaistelt mitteprantsuskeelsete piirkondade raamatumüüjatelt (mitte lõpptarbijatelt), sõltumata
Modification of UMTS licence fee, France (
1. köide tellimuse suurusest, kasumlikkusest ja sihtkohast.
In October 2002, the Commission received a complaint against the French government’s decision to reduce the UMTS licence fees originally payable by Orange and SFR.
2002. aasta oktoobris sai komisjon kaebuse Prantsusmaa valitsuse otsuse peale vähendada universaalse mobiilsidesüsteemi litsentsitasusid, mida algselt maksid Orange ja SFR.
Since the government did not discriminate between operators, Orange and SFR were not given any benefits. e Commission therefore decided on 20 July that no State aid was involved and rejected the complaint.
Kuna valitsus ei teinud operaatorite vahel vahet, ei saanud Orange ja SFR mingeid eeliseid. Seetõttu otsustas komisjon 20. juulil, et tegemist ei olnud riigiabiga, ja lükkas kaebuse tagasi.
Within the framework of the progressive completion of the internal electricity market, the Commission approved two new cases of State aid for compensation of

In July 2001 it adopted a communication that spelled out the methodology that it would use to assess such aid (225).
2001. aasta juulis võttis komisjon vastu teatise, milles selgitati, millist meetodit sellise toetuse hindamiseks kasutatakse. (225) Komisjon kasutas seda meetodit
It applied this methodology to stranded costs compensation in Austria, Belgium, Greece, the Netherlands and Spain.
Austria, Belgia, Kreeka, Madalmaade ja Hispaania puhul luhtunud kulude hüvitamise hindamiseks.
In Italy, the decision covers in particular two aspects: the costs for power generation plants built before 1997 and the costs linked to a ‘take-or-pay’ contract for Nigerian gas, signed by ENEL in 1992, for the part used to produce electricity. e part concerning power generation plants will only cover the period from 2000 to 2003, a er which generators will no longer be entitled to received compensation for their stranded costs. e total compensation granted will be at most EUR 850 million. It will be granted to ENEL and the companies that have inherited ENEL’s stranded assets.
Itaalia otsusel on kaks tahku: enne 1997. aastat ehitatud elektrijaamade kulud ning kulud, mis on seotud 1992. aastal ENEL-i poolt sõlmitud võta-või-maksa-lepingutega elektritootmiseks kasutatud Nigeeria gaasi kohta.
413. e part concerning costs linked to the ‘take-or-pay’ contract is intended to compensate for the costs incurred by ENEL because the company could not process the gas in Italy, as was originally planned. It will cover the costs of relocating gas
Elektrijaamadega seotud osa hõlmab ajavahemikku 2000.–2003. aasta, pärast mida elektritootjatel ei ole enam

Sellega kaetakse gaasitöötlemise väljapoole Itaaliat viimise kulud kuni 2009. aastani. Hüvitise suurus on kõige rohkem 1,465 miljardit eurot.
Portugal abolished these longterm contracts and replaced them with State compensation.
Portugal loobus nendest pikaajalistest lepingutest ja asendas need riigipoolse hüvitamisega.
Firstly, the aid and the joint restructuring plan must lead to restoration of longterm viability without further State intervention. e Commission found that the latest version of the nancial and operational restructuring plans submitted by France should allow the company to survive and become competitive again. e decision requests that the operational plan, which includes plant closures, lay-offs and reorganisation, be complied with in full.
Esiteks peab toetus ja ümberkorralduskava taastama ettevõtte elujõulisuse pikaks ajaks edasise riigipoolse sekkumiseta. Komisjon leidis, et Prantsusmaa esitatud rahalise ümberkujundamise ja tegevuse ümberkorraldamise kava viimane versioon peaks võimaldama ettevõttel ellu jääda ja saada jälle konkurentsivõimeliseks.
In addition, supplementary e orts were requested in the marine sector and the conclusion of industrial partnerships covering a significant part of the company’s activities was required in order to strengthen the longterm viability and prospects of the company.
Otsuses nõutakse, et täielikult järgitaks tegevuskava, mis sisaldab tehaste sulgemist, koondamisi ja ümberkorraldusi.

Moreover, the aid is limited in time because, in the rst place, new State guarantees can only be issued over a two-year period following the adoption of the decision; and in the second place, the State is required to sell, within four years, its entire shareholding in Alstom resulting from the capital increases mentioned above.
1. köide osa ettevõtte tegevusest hõlmavate tööstuspartnerluste sõlmimist, et suurendada ettevõtte elujõulisust pikaks ajaks ja parandada tema tulevikuväljavaateid.
419. irdly, distortions of competition have to be limited to the minimum necessary.
Komisjon leidis, et see tingimus on täidetud, kuna komisjoni otsusega heakskiidetud ümberkorralduskava põhineb nantseerimisasutuste, erainvestorite ja ettevõtte enda väga olulistel rahalistel sissemaksetel.
In order to full this criterion, the decision requires the following measures to restore the competitive situation and compensate competitors: (i) some divestments on top of the substantial ones already carried out by Alstom in 2003, (ii) setting up a joint venture and industrial partnerships covering certain existing activities, (iii) control on pricing policy and acquisitions of companies during four years, (iv) divesting the State’s shareholding in the company, and (v) adopting measures to foster the opening of the French rolling-stock market.
Lisaks antakse abi piiratud aja jooksul, sest esiteks võib riigi tagatist anda ainult otsusele järgneva kahe aasta jooksul ja teiseks peab riik nelja aasta jooksul müüma oma osaluse Alstomis kapitali suurendamise tõttu, millest oli juttu eespool.
On 14 July, the Commission approved restructuring aid granted to MobilCom. e approval of the aid was linked to the condition that MobilCom and its a liates must halt their online direct sales of MobilCom mobile telephony contracts for seven months in order to o set the distortions of competition caused by the aid.
14. juulil kiitis komisjon heaks MobilComi ümberkorraldamiseks antava abi. Abi andmine oli seotud tingimusega, et MobilCom ja tema tütarettevõtjad peavad peatama MobilComi mobiilsidelepingute on-line-otsemüügi seitsmeks kuuks, et korvata toetuse põhjustatud konkurentsimoonutusi.
It ran into di culties in 2002.
Ettevõte sattus raskustesse 2002. aastal.
Germany granted a rst de ciency guarantee for a loan of EUR 50 million in September 2002 to provide immediate liquidity to the company. is aid was approved as rescue aid in January 2003 (228) and was not part of the nal conditional decision adopted in July 2004 (229).
Saksamaa andis 2002. aasta septembris esimese tagatise 50 miljoni euro suurusele laenule, et kiiresti parandada ettevõtte likviidsust. Toetus kiideti heaks päästmiseks antava abina 2003. aasta jaanuaris (228) ja see ei olnud osa 2004. aasta juulis vastuvõetud lõplikust tingimustega seotud otsusest (229).
In order to ensure further funding, which was needed to nance the requisite reorganisation measures in this segment, Germany and the Land of Schleswig-Holstein granted another 80 % de ciency guarantee for a loan amounting to EUR 112 million in November 2002. e Commission considered that this measure constituted restructuring aid.
Ümberkorraldusmeetmete edasise rahastamise tagamiseks andsid Saksamaa ja Schleswig-Holsteini liidumaa 2002. aasta novembris teise 80% tagatise 112 miljoni euro suurusele laenule. Komisjon leidis, et see meede oli ümberkorraldamiseks antav abi.
In this context, the aid was not only used to restructure the company physically but also to reorient is marketing strategy and to focus on more pro table customer segments in its core business. e aid
Seega ei kasutatud toetust mitte ainult ettevõtte füüsiliseks ümberkorraldamiseks, vaid ka turundusstrateegia ümbersuunamiseks ja põhitegevuse keskendamiseks rohkem

On 18 February (230), the Commission approved restructuring aid for the Bankgesellscha Berlin AG group (BGB) worth almost EUR 10 billion (231). is aid package could only be authorised in exchange for significant reductions of the bank’s market presence in order to mitigate the distorting e ect on competition of this large volume of aid.

Moreover, it is intended to divest the real-estate nancing subsidiary BerlinHyp in the context of the overall divestment of BGB, either separately or together with the rest of BGB.
Lisaks kavatseti BGB üldise loovutamise käigus loovutada kinnisvaratehingute rahastamisega tegelev tütarettevõtja BerlinHyp, kas siis ülejäänud BGB-ga koos või eraldi.

IV — State aid control investigation.
2004. aasta konkurentsipoliitika aruanne.
In view of BGB’s leading position in Berlin, the Commission had to insist on this measure in order to e ectively mitigate the distorting e ect of the very high aid amount on competition in the eld of retail banking in Berlin.
Tagasimaksekokkulepe, mis toetas BGB-d sel ajal veel otsustamata, kuid võimaliku sissenõudekorralduse puhul Landesbank Berlini menetluses, oli lisameede, mida tuli arvesse võtta parandusmeetmena.
Moreover, the repayment agreement supporting BGB in case of a then non-decided but possible recovery order in the Landesbank Berlin proceeding was an additional aid measure that had to be taken into account for the compensatory measures. e divestiture of Berliner Bank will reduce BGB’s market share in the individual segments of the Berlin retail business by roughly one third to one sixth as a result of the sale.
Müügi tulemusel vähendab Berliner Banki loovutamine BGB turuosa Berliini jaemüügituru üksikutes segmentides umbes ühe kolmandiku kuni ühe kuuendiku võrra.
428. e Commission also had to analyse the question of the longterm viability of BGB in conjunction with the forthcoming abolition of the existing State guarantees (Anstaltslast und Gewährträgerha ung). is question had to be re-examined with the help of external consultants when the rst procedure to divest the Land’s shares in BGB failed in March 2003. Finally, the Commission concluded that the restructuring measures already carried out and those planned for the future are reasonable, logical and fundamentally appropriate in order to enable BGB to restore its viability.
Komisjon pidi ka analüüsima BGB pikaajalise elujõu küsimust seoses olemasolevate riigi tagatiste kaotamisega (Anstaltslast & Gewährträgerha ung). Seda küsimust tuli uuesti uurida välisekspertide abiga, kui esimene liidumaa osaluse loovutamine BGB-s nurjus 2003. aasta märtsis. Lõpuks jõudis komisjon järeldusele, et juba rakendatud ja tulevikus kavandatavad ümberkorraldusmeetmed on mõistlikud, loogilised ja põhimõtteliselt sobivad, et võimaldada BGB-l taastada oma elujõud.

In view of doubts as to the compatibility of the measures notified with the rules on State aid, the Commission initiated, in January 2003, a formal investigation concerning the shareholders’ loan project (233). e formal investigation covered also a business tax scheme (taxe professionnelle) applicable to FT.
(233) Ametlik uurimine hõlmas ka FT suhtes kohaldatavat ettevõtlusmaksu (taxe professionnelle) skeemi.
On 2 August 2004, the Commission closed its investigation of both aspects.
2. augustil 2004 lõpetas komisjon mõlema asjaolu uurimise.

Ettevõtlusmaksu skeem (taxe professionnelle) (
Between 1994 and 2002, FT enjoyed special conditions concerning local taxes. e Commission considered that, by not levying the full amount of business tax during this period, the State o ered an advantage to FT which amounts to a State aid measure.
1994.–2002. aastal maksis FT kohalikke makse eritingimustel. Komisjon otsustas, et ettevõtlust nimetatud ajavahemikul täies mahus maksustamata lõi riik FT-le eelised, mis on võrdsed riigiabimeetmega.
In accordance with the Court of Justice’s caselaw (235), the Commission dismissed the argument raised by the French authorities that such aid could be considered as being ‘compensated’ by other charges to which FT was subject in other respects. According
Euroopa Kohtu praktika kohaselt (235) ei võtnud komisjon arvesse Prantsusmaa ametiasutuste väidet, et sellise toetuse saab tasaarvestada muude tasudega, mida FT pidi maksma. Vastavalt Prantsusmaa ametiasutuste esitatud teabele säästis FT ettevõtlusmaksu eriskeemiga hinnanguliselt 800 miljonit kuni 1,1 miljardit eurot.

In July 2002, while the rating of FT was at the threshold of a further downgrade to junk status, the government publicly declared its intention to support the company.
2002. aasta juulis, kui FT oli hävingu äärel, teatas valitsus avalikult oma kavatsusest ettevõtet toetada.
Any downgrade of FT to junk status would have had serious consequences for the company. e State publicly confirmed its support for the undertaking in September, October and December 2002 and the rating never reached junk status.
FT olukorra edasisel halvenemisel oleks olnud ettevõtte jaoks tõsised tagajärjed. 2002. aasta septembris, oktoobris ja detsembris kinnitas riik avalikult ettevõtte toetamist ja FT olukord ei halvenenud enam.
On this last occasion, a press release by the Ministry for Economic A airs announced that FT was going to issue new shares and anticipated the State participation in the shares issue by o ering the said shareholder’s advance.
Viimasel korral teatati majandusministeeriumi pressiteates, et FT kavatseb välja lasta uued aktsiad ja eeldatakse, et riik osaleb aktsiaemissioonis, pakkudes eespool nimetatud aktsionäri ettemakset.
If the statements had not been made, no reasonable investor would have o ered a shareholder’s advance in these circumstances and assumed alone a very large nancial risk.
Nende avaldusteta ei oleks ükski mõistlik investor pakkunud aktsionäri ettemakset ega võtnud enda kanda suurt nantsriski.
Moreover, the Commission noted that this was the rst time that aid resulted from events predating the notification of the aid itself.
Lisaks märkis komisjon, et see oli esimene kord, kui toetus anti sündmuste tõttu, mis eelnesid toetusest teatamisele.
Since France notified this measure, an economic operator may have legitimately expected the State to abide by its obligation under the Treaty. erefore, ordering recovery in such a situation may constitute a violation of the principle of legitimate expectation.
Kuna Prantsusmaa teatas sellest meetmest, võis ettevõtja õigustatult eeldada, et riik täidab oma asutamislepingus sätestatud kohustusi.
Having taken all this into account the Commission did not order the recovery of the aid.
Seetõttu oleks sissenõudekorraldus sellises olukorras olnud õigustatud ootuse põhimõtte rikkumine.
On 16 March, the Commission decided to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 88(2) with respect to new restructuring aid in favour of Bull.
16. märtsil otsustas komisjon algatada artikli 88 lõikes 2 sätestatud menetluse Bullile antava uue ümberkorraldusabi suhtes.
Bull produces computer servers and is active in the related services markets. e notified aid amounts to EUR 517 million and is equal to the rescue aid granted in 2002 with cumulated interest.
Bull toodab arvutiservereid ja tegutseb seotud teenuste turul. Teatatud abi ulatub 517 miljoni euroni ja võrdub koos kogunenud intressidega 2002. aastal päästmiseks antud toetusega.
Depending on actual pro ts, some EUR 50 to 60 million would devolve to the French authorities on the basis of a clause in the aid contract.
Tegelikust kasumist sõltuvalt peaks Prantsusmaa ametiasutused maksma 50–60 miljonit eurot toetuslepingu tingimuste alusel.
In its decision of 1 December, the Commission considered that, in the particular circumstances of the case, the aid did not infringe the ‘one time, last time’ principle, and took note that it would be paid only a er reimbursement of the earlier rescue aid.
2004. aasta konkurentsipoliitika aruanne. 1. köide ei rikutud abi andmisega ühekordse abi põhimõtet, ja arvestas, et toetust makstakse alles pärast varasema päästmisabi tagasimaksmist.
On 8 September, the Commission decided not to raise any objections to rescue aid granted by Germany to the German shipyard Lloyd Wer Bremerhaven GmbH.
8. septembril otsustas komisjon mitte esitada vastuväiteid päästmisabi suhtes, mis Saksamaa andis Saksa laevatehasele Lloyd Wer Bremerhaven GmbH.
In order to continue operations, the company needed a bridging loan of EUR 10 million. e loan was provided in April in equal parts by one public and two private nancial institutions, whereas the private loans were partially backed by a public guarantee.
Tegevuse jätkamiseks vajas ettevõte 10 miljoni euro suurust lühiajalist laenu. Laenu andsid aprillis võrdsetes osades üks riigi- ja kaks erafinantsasutust, kusjuures erafinantsasutuste laen tagati osaliselt riigi tagatisega.
In particular, the Commission took account of an undertaking by the German Government to report on the nancial situation of the company. e aid was paid back within six months.
Eriti võttis komisjon arvesse Saksamaa valitsuse kohustust teatada ettevõtte nantsolukorrast. Toetus maksti tagasi kuue kuu jooksul.

Funds for military activities are in principle not covered by the EU State aid rules. e EUR 556 million aid provided to IZAR’s civil activities was not in line with the EU State aid rules and the Commission therefore concluded that this amount also has to be recovered from IZAR.
IZAR-i tsiviillaevaehitusele makstud 556 miljoni euro suurune abi ei olnud kooskõlas Euroopa Liidu riigiabi eeskirjadega ja seetõttu otsustas komisjon, et ka see summa tuleb IZAR-ilt sisse nõuda.
In 2003, the Netherlands had notified plans to grant aid in support of six shipbuilding contracts to four Dutch shipyards. e purpose of the aid was to match illegal and incompatible aid allegedly o ered by another Member State to shipyards in that country which competed for the shipbuilding contracts.
2003. aastal teatasid Madalmaad kavatsusest toetada nelja Madalmaade laevaehitustehase kuut laevaehituslepingut. Toetuse eesmärk oli tasakaalustada ebaseaduslikku ja nõuetele mittevastavat toetust, mis üks teine liikmesriik väidetavalt pakkus oma riigi laevaehitustehastele, mis konkureerisid lepingute pärast.
On 30 June the Commission decided that the Netherlands could not grant this aid. e Commission stressed that the principle that a Member State should not act on its own to counter the e ects of unlawful aid from another Member State has been clearly established by the Court of Justice.
30. juunil otsustas komisjon, et Madalmaad ei tohi seda toetust anda. Komisjon rõhutas, et Euroopa Kohus on kindlalt sätestanud põhimõtte, et liikmesriik ei tohiks omapäi tegutseda, et tõrjuda teise liikmesriigi ebaseadusliku toetuse mõjusid.
