The Commission therefore finds that Article 4(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 has been complied with as regards the measures listed in recital 96 under (a) and (c).
Komisija, stoga, smatra da su mjere iz uvodne izjave 96. točaka (a) i (c) u skladu s člankom 4. stavkom 1. točkom (a) Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007.
Article 4(1)(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 provides that the parameters on the basis of which the compensation is calculated have to be established in advance in an objective and transparent manner in a way that prevents overcompensation.
Člankom 4. stavkom 1. točkom (b) Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007 predviđeno je objektivno i transparentno prethodno utvrđivanje parametara za izračun naknade na način kojim se sprečava prekomjerna naknada.
In its assessment of the second Altmark condition in recitals 102 to 106, the Commission noted that all the parameters for calculating the prices for each of the operators were clearly set in advance in the individual contracts.
Komisija je, u svojoj ocjeni drugog uvjeta iz predmeta Altmark u uvodnim izjavama 102. do 106., naglasila da su svi parametri za izračun cijena svakog operatora jasno unaprijed utvrđeni pojedinačnim ugovorima.
In addition, the maximum level of compensation was established in advance and limited by the objective estimate of the provable loss so as to avoid overcompensation.
Osim toga, najviša je razina naknade utvrđena unaprijed i ograničena objektivnom procjenom dokazivog gubitka kako bi se izbjegla prekomjerna naknada.
As such, the measures listed in recital 96 under (a) and (c) comply with Article 4(1)(b) of the Regulation.
Mjere iz uvodne izjave 96. točaka (a) i (c), kao takve, u skladu su s člankom 4. stavkom 1. točkom (b) Uredbe.
Article 4(1)(c) and Article 4(2) of the Regulation contain arrangements with regards to the allocation of costs and revenues.
U članku 4. stavku 1. točki (c) i članku 4. stavku 2. navedeni su mehanizmi za raspodjelu troškova i prihoda.
The Commission notes that the economically substantiated costs declared by the operator were determined in line with Article 4(1)(c) and that the public service contracts related to measures listed in recital 96 under (a) and (c) stipulate that the revenues from the sale of tickets are kept by the operator.
Komisija naglašava da su ekonomski utemeljeni troškovi koje je operator prijavio, utvrđeni u skladu s člankom 4. stavkom 1. točkom (c) te da je ugovorima o pružanju javne usluge povezanima s mjerama iz uvodne izjave 96. točaka (a) i (c) predviđeno da operator zadržava prihode od prodaje karata.
The requirement of Article 4(2) is therefore also met.
Stoga je zahtjev iz članka 4. stavka 2. isto ispunjen.
Article 4(3) of the Regulation requires that the duration of public service contracts be limited to 10 years for bus and coach services.
Člankom 4. stavkom 3. Uredbe zahtijeva se ograničavanje trajanja ugovora o pružanju javne usluge na deset godina za usluge gradskog i međugradskoga autobusnog prijevoza.
The public services contracts under consideration cover periods of no more than a year.
Ugovorima o pružanju javne usluge koji se razmatraju obuhvaćena su razdoblja ne dulja od godine dana.
Article 4(6) of the Regulation contains the requirement to comply with certain quality standards.
U članku 4. stavku 6. Uredbe naveden je zahtjev za usklađenje s određenim standardima kvalitete.
Indeed, the Commission notes that the requirements for quality standards (e.g. obligations to provide services in accordance with the approved timetable, to ensure a certain level of safety for passengers, to publish timetables and mark buses with the names of the lines, etc.) were laid down in the applicable legislation and duly included in the tender documents and in the public service contracts.
Komisija, doista, naglašava da su zahtjevi za standarde kvalitete (primjerice, obveze pružanja usluga u skladu s odobrenim voznim redom, osiguranja određene razine sigurnosti putnika, objave voznih redova i označavanja autobusa nazivima linija itd.) utvrđeni važećim zakonodavstvom i valjano uključeni u natječajnu dokumentaciju te u ugovore o pružanju javne usluge.
Therefore, Article 4(6) is complied with.
Stoga je ispunjen zahtjev iz članka 4. stavka 6.
In the light of those observations, the Commission concludes that all mandatory provisions of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 were respected as regards the public service contracts concluded in relation to the measures listed in recital 96 under (a) and (c).
S obzirom na ta zapažanja, Komisija zaključuje da su poštovane sve obvezne odredbe članka 4. Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007 u pogledu ugovora o pružanju javne usluge sklopljenima u vezi s mjerama iz uvodne izjave 96. točaka (a) i (c).
The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 provides that the compensation may not exceed an amount corresponding to the financial amount composed of the following factors:
Prilogom Uredbi (EZ) br. 1370/2007 predviđeno je da naknada ne smije premašiti iznos koji odgovara financijskom iznosu koji uključuje sljedeće faktore:
costs incurred in relation to the public service obligation minus ticket revenue, minus any positive financial effects generated within the network operated under the public service obligation, plus a reasonable profit (point 2 of the Annex).
troškove nastale u vezi s obvezom obavljanja javne usluge umanjene za prihod od karata, umanjene za sve pozitivne financijske učinke ostvarene u mreži kojom se upravlja u okviru obveze pružanja javnih usluga, uvećani za razumnu dobit (točka 2. Priloga).
Point 6 of the Annex defines a reasonable profit as ‘a rate of return on capital that is normal for the sector in a given Member State and that takes account of the risk, or absence of risk, incurred by the public service operator by virtue of public authority intervention’.
Točkom 6. Priloga razumna dobit definirana je kao „stopa povrata na kapital koja je uobičajena u tom sektoru u predmetnoj državi članici, a kojom se uzima u obzir rizik, ili izostanak rizika, koji snosi operater javne usluge intervencijom tijela javne vlasti”.
As regards the measures listed in recital 96 under (a) and (c), overcompensation was prevented by an ex post verification of the actual costs incurred and revenues received.
Kad je riječ o mjerama iz uvodne izjave 96. točaka (a) i (c), prekomjerna naknada spriječena je ex post provjerom stvarnih nastalih gubitaka i ostvarenih prihoda.
In the event the actual losses were lower than the objective estimate of the provable loss, the operators were compensated only to the amount of the actual losses.
U slučaju stvarnih gubitaka manjih od objektivne procjene dokazivog gubitka, operatorima je nadoknađen samo iznos stvarnih gubitaka.
In the event actual losses were higher, the compensation was limited to the amount of the preliminary objective estimate of the provable loss, with provision possible for unforeseeable costs.
U slučaju većih stvarnih gubitaka, naknada je bila ograničena na iznos privremene objektivne procjene dokazivog gubitka, uz moguću naknadu za nepredvidive troškove.
In any event, the compensation could not be higher than the actual losses incurred by the operator.
U svakom slučaju, naknada nije mogla biti veća od stvarnih gubitaka operatora.
As regards the ‘reasonable profit’, its calculation under the Road Transport Act [43] is linked to the necessity of investments of bus operators into their rolling stock.
Kad je riječ o „razumnoj dobiti”, njezin je izračun, prema Zakonu o prijevozu u cestovnom prometu [43], povezan s potrebom za ulaganjima operatora autobusnog prijevoda u njihov vozni park.
More specifically, it is defined as ‘the sum which — after taxation […] — does not exceed 1/8th of the price of the buses normally used for the public line passenger transport providing the traffic services in the framework of the fulfilment of the public service obligation, reduced by the sum of the total real depreciation of those buses, and the sum spent for investments related to the operation of the public line passenger transport, provided that the relevant authority expressed its approval for the investment for the purpose of its incorporation into the calculation of the provable loss’.
Točnije, ona se definira kao „zbroj koji, nakon oporezivanja […]. ne premašuje 1/8 cijene autobusa koji se obično upotrebljavaju za ispunjavanje obveze pružanja usluge javnoga linijskog prijevoza putnika, umanjen za zbroj ukupnog iznosa stvarne amortizacije tih autobusa i zbroj iznosa ulaganja u pružanje usluga javnog linijskog prijevoza putnika, uz uvjet da je mjerodavno tijelo odobrilo ulaganje za potrebe njegovog uključivanja u izračun dokazivog gubitka”.
The Commission notes that in the present case the reasonable profit included in the calculations of the objective estimate of the provable loss was around 5 % in the contracts under consideration and that such profit is considered reasonable for the regional bus transport sector of the Czech Republic [44].
Komisija naglašava da je u ovom slučaju razumna dobit uključena u izračune objektivne procjene dokazivog gubitka iznosila približno 5 % u razmatranim ugovorima te da se ta dobit smatra razumnom u sektoru regionalnog autobusnog prijevoza u Češkoj Republici [44].
Therefore, the calculation of the reasonable profit in the contracts under consideration complies with the requirements of point 6 of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007.
Stoga je izračun razumne dobiti u razmatranim ugovorima u skladu sa zahtjevima iz točke 6. Priloga Uredbi (EZ) br. 1370/2007.
Point 4 of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 requires that costs and revenues be calculated in accordance with the accounting and tax rules in force (point 4 of that Annex).
Točkom 4. Priloga Uredbi (EZ) br. 1370/2007 zahtijeva se da se troškovi i prihodi izračunavaju u skladu s važećim računovodstvenim i poreznim pravilima (točka 4. tog Priloga).
Furthermore, for transparency reasons, there should be a separation of accounts (point 5 of that Annex).
Osim toga, za potrebe transparentnosti, potrebno je razdvajanje računa (točka 5. tog Priloga).
The Czech authorities confirmed that the calculation of costs and revenue was carried out in accordance with the tax and accounting rules in force and that the legal framework applicable to all operators in terms of accounting standards and national rules on competition required the undertaking to keep separate accounts for its different activities, so that the requirement of account separation was also respected.
Češka su tijela potvrdila da je izračun troškova i prihoda izrađen u skladu s važećim poreznim i računovodstvenim pravilima te da se pravnim okvirom koji se primjenjuje na sve operatore u smislu računovodstvenih standarda i nacionalnih pravila o tržišnom natjecanju, od svih poduzeća zahtijevaju zasebni računi za različite djelatnosti pa je zahtjev za razdvajanje računa isto ispunjen.
The Czech authorities confirmed that the contractual payments made to regional bus transport operators in the Ústí Region on the basis of the public service contracts were entered in the accounts separately from the other activities carried out on a purely commercial basis, thereby avoiding any form of cross-subsidisation.
Češka su tijela potvrdila da su ugovorne isplate operatorima regionalnog autobusnog prijevoza u regiji Ústí na temelju ugovora o pružanju javne usluge knjižene zasebno u odnosu na ostale djelatnosti koje se obavljaju isključivo na komercijalnoj osnovi, čime se izbjegao svaki oblik unakrsnih subvencija.
Finally, point 7 of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 requires the method of the compensation to promote the maintenance or development of an effective management by the public service operator, which can be the subject of an objective assessment.
Konačnom, točkom 7. Priloga Uredbi (EZ) br. 1370/2007 zahtijeva se način naknade za promicanje održavanja ili razvoja učinkovitog upravljanja koje obavlja operater javne usluge, što može biti predmetom objektivne ocjene.
It also requires promoting the provision of passenger transport services of a sufficiently high standard.
Zahtijeva se i pružanje usluga prijevoza putnika po zadovoljavajuće visokim standardima.
The method of compensation in the contracts under consideration promotes the maintenance of an effective management as well as the provision of passenger transport services of a sufficiently high standard, in particular because the compensations cannot exceed the objective estimate of the provable loss.
Načinom naknade u razmatranim ugovorima promiče se održavanje učinkovitog upravljanja, kao i pružanje usluga prijevoza putnika po zadovoljavajuće visokim standardima, posebno jer naknade ne mogu premašivati objektivnu procjenu dokazivog gubitka.
The transport operators therefore have an incentive to manage their operations effectively and provide a sufficiently high standard to passengers because if the operator generates additional losses exceeding the objective estimate of the provable loss, those losses will not be compensated.
Operatori prijevoza, stoga, imaju poticaj za učinkovito upravljanje poslovanjem i pružanje usluge po zadovoljavajuće visokim standardima jer ako ostvare dodatne gubitke veće od objektivne procjene dokazivog gubitka, oni neće biti nadoknađeni.
The quality standards of the services provided are ensured by the quality requirements included in the public service obligation contracts with the operators.
Standardi kvalitete pružanja usluge osigurani su zahtjevima za kvalitetu uključenima u ugovore o obvezi pružanja javne usluge s operatorima.
The method of compensation therefore complies with point 7 of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007.
Način je naknade, stoga, u skladu s točkom 7. Priloga Uredbi (EZ) br. 1370/2007.
In light of the above, the Commission concludes that all of the requirements of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 have been complied with.
Komisija, s obzirom na prethodno navedeno, zaključuje da su ispunjeni svi zahtjevi iz Priloga Uredbi (EZ) br. 1370/2007.
As a consequence, the Commission considers that the compensation granted to certain regional bus transport operators and referred to in recital 96 under (a) and (c) complies with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, so that in accordance with Article 9 thereof the aid should be considered as compatible with the internal market and exempt from prior notification.
Posljedično, Komisija smatra da je naknada dodijeljena određenim operatorima regionalnog autobusnog prijevoza iz uvodne izjave 96. točaka (a) i (c), u skladu s odredbama Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007 pa, u skladu s člankom 9. iste Uredbe, potporu treba smatrati usklađenom s unutarnjim tržištem i izuzetom od obveze prethodne prijave.
Increase of equity capital for DP Ústí (measure referred to in recital 96 under (e))
Dokapitalizacija društva DP Ústí (mjera iz uvodne izjave 96. točke (e))
According to the Czech authorities, the increase of the equity capital of DP Ústí by CZK 160000000 carried out by the Municipality of Ústí nad Labem in 2006 is compatible with the internal market as a measure meeting the needs of coordination of transport in line with Article 3(1)(b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70 [45].
Prema češkim tijelima, dokapitalizacija društva DP Ústí u iznosu od 160000000 CZK koju je provela općina Ústí nad Labem u 2006. u skladu je s unutarnjim tržištem jer se mjerom ispunjavaju potrebe koordinacije prijevoza u skladu s člankom 3. stavkom 1. točkom (b) Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1107/70 [45].
Under that exemption, aid for the coordination of transport is compatible with the internal market where that ‘aid is granted to undertakings which have to bear expenditure relating to the infrastructure used by them, while other undertakings are not subject to a like burden. In determining the amount of aid thus granted, account shall be taken of the infrastructure costs which competing modes of transport do not have to bear.’
Prema toj iznimci, potpora za koordinaciju prijevoza u skladu je s unutarnjim tržištem ako se ta „potpora dodjeljuje poduzećima koja su dužna snositi troškove za infrastrukturu kojom se koriste, dok ostala poduzeća sličnom opterećenju ne podliježu. Pri određivanju iznosa tako dodijeljene potpore, uzimaju se u obzir troškovi infrastrukture koje konkurentni način prijevoza ne mora snositi”.
Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70 was repealed by Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, so that the compatibility of aid for the construction of transport infrastructure can now be examined directly under Article 93 of the Treaty.
Uredba (EEZ) br. 1170/70 stavljena je izvan snage Uredbom (EZ) br. 1370/2007 pa se sada usklađenost potpore za izgradnju prometne infrastrukture može ispitivati izravno na temelju članka 93.
The Commission considers that the capital increase provided by the Municipality of Ústí nad Labem to finance DP Ústí's construction of a trolley-bus route constitutes a coordination activity within the meaning of that provision since it seeks to shift transport activities from one mode to another.
Ugovora. Komisija smatra da dokapitalizacija društva DP Ústí koju je provela općina Ústí nad Labem za financiranje izgradnje linije trolejbusa predstavlja aktivnost koordinacije u smislu te odredbe jer joj je cilj prebacivanje djelatnosti prijevoza iz jednog načina u drugi.
In line with its decisional practice [46], aid granted to undertakings for the coordination of transport is compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 93 TFEU, if the following conditions are met:
U skladu s praksom Komisije u donošenju odluka [46], potpora dodijeljena poduzećima za koordinaciju prijevoza u skladu je s unutarnjim tržištem na temelju članka 93. UFEU-a, ako su ispunjeni sljedeći uvjeti:
the aid contributes to an objective of common interest;
potpora je doprinos cilju od zajedničkog interesa;
the aid is necessary and proportionate;
potpora je nužna i proporcionalna;
the aid does not lead to distortions of competition contrary to the common interest.
posljedice potpore nisu narušavanja tržišnog natjecanja suprotna zajedničkom interesu.
Objective of general interest
Cilj od općeg interesa
The Union has for some time pursued a policy aimed at balancing different modes of transport as well as boosting the competitiveness of intermodal transport vis-à-vis road transport.
Unija već neko vrijeme primjenjuje politiku u cilju uravnoteženja različitih načina prijevoza, kao i jačanja tržišnog natjecanja intermodalnog prijevoza u odnosu na cestovni prijevoz.
The main purpose of the intermodal transport policy of the Union is to create a modal shift from road to other modes of transport.
Glavna je svrha politike intermodalnog prijevoza Unije stvaranje modalnog prijelaza s cestovnog na ostale načine prijevoza.
The White Paper on European transport policy [47] encourages the use of environmentally friendly modes of transport to make them competitive alternatives to road transport.
Bijelom knjigom o europskoj prometnoj politici [47] potiče se upotreba načina prijevoza koji su prihvatljivi za okoliš kako bi oni postali konkurentne alternative cestovnom prijevozu.
The Commission recalls that the transport sector is affected by negative externalities due to the fact that different modes do not pay the real cost they impose on society.
Komisija podsjeća da na sektor prijevoza utječu negativni vanjski učinci zbog činjenice da različiti načini prijevoza ne plaćaju stvarni trošak koji predstavljaju za društvo.
It follows that intermodal competition is distorted and entails market failures.
Slijedi da je intermodalno tržišno natjecanje narušeno te da uključuje tržišne neuspjehe.
Accordingly, the Commission considers that it may be necessary for the State to intervene by coordinating measures in the transport sector.
Komisija, prema tome, smatra da bi država možda trebala intervenirati koordiniranjem mjera u sektoru prijevoza.
The capital increase at issue was provided exclusively to finance DP Ústí's construction of a trolley-bus route (Ústí nad Labem — Střekov) with the aim of improving traffic flows between those two geographical points and reducing environmental pollution.
Predmetna je dokapitalizacija provedena isključivo radi financiranja izgradnje linije trolejbusa društva DP Ústí (Ústí nad Labem – Střekov) u cilju poboljšanja prometnih tokova između te dvije geografske točke i smanjenja zagađenja okoliša.
The aid thus seeks to promote intermodality and improve environmental standards of transport in the Ústí region, which is in line with the general interest of the Union.
Stoga su ciljevi potpore pomicanje intermodalnosti i poboljšanje okolišnih standarda prijevoza u regiji Ústí, što je u skladu s općim interesom Unije.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that the measure helps to achieve a clearly defined objective of general interest.
Komisija, stoga, zaključuje da je mjera doprinos postizanju jasno određenog cilja od općeg interesa.
Necessity and proportionality of the aid
Nužnost i proporcionalnost potpore
The Commission considers that the measure is necessary to achieve the objective of transferring a part of the activity of transport from a standard bus line to a trolley-bus line, encouraging intermodal and more environmentally-friendly public transport.
Komisija smatra da je mjera nužna za postizanje cilja prijenosa dijela aktivnosti prijevoza od standardne autobusne linije na liniju trolejbusa, čime se potiče intermodalnost i javni prijevoz koji je prihvatljiviji za okoliš.
In the absence of aid, such a shift would not take place and transport on the line in question would continue to be carried out by less-environmentally friendly bus transport.
U izostanku potpore do tog prijelaza ne bi došlo te bi se prijevoz na predmetnoj liniji nastavio odvijati autobusima koji su manje prihvatljivi za okoliš.
The Commission notes that DPÚK claimed in its comments that it had proposed to the authorities a significantly cheaper alternative for an environmentally friendly form of local transport on the line Ústí nad Labem — Střekov (based on CNG-buses instead of the trolley-buses of DP Ústí), but that that alternative was rejected.
Komisija naglašava da je društvo DPÚK u svojim primjedbama tvrdilo da je tijelima predložilo znatno jeftiniju alternativu za ekološki prihvatljiv oblik lokalnog prijevoza na liniji Ústí nad Labem – Střekov (uz uporabu autobusa na komprimirani prirodni plin umjesto trolejbusa društva DP Ústí), koja je odbačena.
However, the Czech authorities have no official record of any formal submission by DPÚK of an alternative project for ensuring a more environmentally-friendly transport in the municipality.
Međutim, češka tijela nemaju službenu evidenciju o službenim podnescima društva DPÚK u pogledu alternativnog projekta za osiguranje ekološki prihvatljivijeg prijevoza u općini.
The project attached to DPÚK's submission is dated June 2001 and was thus not relevant at the time of the assessed capital increase.
Projekt u prilogu podnesku društva DPÚK datira iz lipnja 2001. te, stoga, nije bio relevantan u trenutku dokapitalizacije koje se procjenjuje.
In addition, the Czech authorities claim that the line Ústí nad Labem — Střekov was an integral part of the trolley-bus system gradually being constructed since 1984 and operated since 1988.
Osim toga, češka su tijela tvrdila da je linija Ústí nad Labem – Střekov sastavni dio sustava trolejbusa koji je u postupnoj izgradnji od 1984., a u prometu od 1988.
Therefore, the line Ústí nad Labem — Střekov was constructed as an integral part of the existing trolley-bus system built, owned and operated by DP Ústí.
Stoga je linija Ústí nad Labem – Střekov izgrađena kao sastavni dio postojećeg sustava trolejbusa, u vlasništvu i pod upravom društva DP Ústí.
In addition, there is no clear evidence that any reasonable and available alternative existed at the time of the capital increase.
Osim toga, nema jasnih dokaza o postojanju razumne i dostupne alternative u trenutku dokapitalizacije.
Therefore, the Commission considers that any alternative solutions for this particular part of the network by competing providers were not a reasonable alternative that would need to be taken into account by the Municipality of Ústí nad Labem.
Komisija, stoga, smatra da sva druga rješenja konkurentskih pružatelja usluge za taj dio mreže nisu bila razumna alternativa koju je općina Ústí nad Labem trebala razmotriti.
