Regarding the liquidation of the cvba Schelpdier en vis, the complainant indicated that in his view the distortion of competition had not ceased with the liquidation of SDVO's subsidiary given that SDVO remained active in the mussel business after the liquidation of the cvba Schelpdier en vis.
U pogledu likvidacije društva cvba Schelpdier en vis podnositelj pritužbe naveo je da prema njegovu mišljenju narušavanje tržišnog natjecanja nije prestalo s likvidacijom SDVO-ova ovisnog društva jer je SDVO nastavio poslovati u sektoru dagnji i nakon likvidacije društva cvba Schelpdier en vis.
GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE
RAZLOZI ZA POKRETANJE SLUŽBENOG ISTRAŽNOG POSTUPKA
In its decision to open the formal investigation procedure, the Commission manifests its doubts regarding the conformity with the articles of association notified to and approved by the Commission of some of the projects carried out by SVDO.
Komisija u odluci o pokretanju službenog istražnog postupka izražava sumnju u usklađenost nekih projekata SVDO-a sa statutom koji je Komisiji prijavljen i koji je ona odobrila.
The Commission thus suspects that SDVO has misused aid under the scheme.
Komisija stoga sumnja da je SDVO zlouporabio potporu u okviru tog programa.
The projects at stake are the following:
Predmetni projekti su:
The mussel project: SDVO has launched an extensive publicity campaign for its mussels.
Projekt uzgoja dagnji: SDVO je pokrenuo opsežnu kampanju za oglašivanje svojih dagnji.
Instead of organising the promotion of mussels in general, the publicity material is based around a particular commercial brand (Flanders Queen Mussel), targets a particular undertaking (SDVO) and contains several references to the geographic origin of the products (Flanders).
Umjesto organiziranja općenite promidžbe sektora dagnji, oglašivački materijal usmjeren je na određenu trgovačku marku (Flanders Queen Mussel), konkretno poduzeće (SDVO) i u nekoliko navrata upućuje na zemljopisno podrijetlo proizvoda (Flandrija).
Furthermore, it has expanded the mussel project, by acquiring and exploiting 87 additional cages, thus making a long-term investment.
Nadalje, SDVO je proširio projekt uzgoja dagnji nabavom i iskorištavanjem dodatnih 87 kaveza i na taj ga način učinio dugotrajnim ulaganjem.
Finding new stocks of shellfish: SDVO seems to have acted as promoter of an experimental fishing campaign aiming at identifying the presence of commercially exploitable shellfish stocks on the Belgian continental shelf.
Pronalaženje novih stokova školjkaša: čini se da je SDVO promicao pokusni ribolov kako bi se utvrdilo postoje li na belgijskom epikontinentalnom pojasu komercijalno iskoristivi stokovi školjkaša.
Dagverse Vis promotion campaign: This campaign aims at strengthening the image of the Belgian fishery by promoting freshly caught popular, and less known species of fish, caught by inshore fishermen, to the general public.
Promotivna kampanja Dagverse Vis: tom se kampanjom nastoji poboljšati ugled belgijskog ribarstva upoznavanjem šire javnosti s poznatim i manje poznatim vrstama svježe ribe koju su ulovili priobalni ribari.
This action involves the participation of top chefs, who offer less well-known species of fish in their restaurants.
U kampanju su uključeni i vrhunski kuhari, koji u svojim restoranima nude manje poznate vrste ribe.
It is hoped that if top chefs offer those fish sorts in their restaurants, the inshore fishermen will be able to get a reasonable price for these species of fish, so that every link in the fishing industry gets fair remuneration for its product.
Polazi se od pretpostavke da će priobalni ribari za te vrste ribe moći ostvariti razumnu cijenu jer ih vrhunski kuhari nude u svojim restoranima, pa će svaka karika u ribarskoj industriji za svoj proizvod dobiti poštenu naknadu.
Concerning the mussel project, the Commission considered that SDVO has acted in contravention with its articles of association (and thus the scheme) which explicitly indicate that SDVO will reinforce the image of the sea fishery but without targeting any particular firm and without referring to the geographical origin of the products and prohibit promotion measures based around commercial brand and/or referring to the geographic origin of the products.
U pogledu projekta uzgoja dagnji Komisija smatra da je SDVO djelovao u suprotnosti sa svojim statutom (a time i s programom) u kojem izričito stoji da će SDVO jačati ugled morskog ribarstva, ali bez navođenja konkretnih poduzeća i upućivanja na zemljopisno podrijetlo proizvoda te zabraniti promidžbene mjere koje se temelje na trgovačkim markama i/ili upućivanju na zemljopisno podrijetlo proizvoda.
Furthermore, the Commission expressed its doubts that by exploiting 87 additional cages, SDVO has acted in conformity with its articles of association and Decision N 274/03, since it can hardly be viewed as a short-term action but rather corresponds to a long-term investment that is hard to reconcile with the concept of short-term action.
Nadalje, Komisija je izrazila sumnju u pogledu toga da SDVO iskorištavanjem dodatnih 87 kaveza djeluje u skladu sa svojim statutom i Odlukom N 274/03 jer se takvo djelovanje teško može smatrati kratkoročnom mjerom, već je prije riječ o dugotrajnom ulaganju koje se teško može svrstati u kratkoročne mjere.
On the project consisting in finding new stocks of shellfish, the Commission observed that it is not listed amongst SDVO's missions in its articles of association.
U pogledu projekta pronalaženje novih stokova školjkaša Komisija je primijetila da taj projekt nije na popisu misija iz SDVO-ova statuta.
In particular, it does not seem to correspond to the missions described under the heading (c) ‘Improving the management of the living aquatic resources and the control on fisheries’.
Konkretno, čini se da taj projekt nije u skladu s misijama navedenima u poglavlju (c) Unaprjeđenje upravljanja živim morskim resursima i nadzor ribolova.
Indeed, finding new commercially exploitable stocks of shellfish does not correspond to the permanent monitoring of the quality and quantity of the living aquatic resources nor to the monitoring of the socioeconomic situation in the fisheries sector or to advising the government on the control on fishing effort.
Doista, pronalaženje novih komercijalno iskoristivih stokova školjkaša ne odgovara neprestanom nadzoru kvalitete i količine živih morskih resursa ili praćenju društveno-gospodarskog stanja u sektoru ribarstva ili savjetovanju vlade u području nadzora ribolovnog napora.
Identifying the presence of commercially exploitable shellfish stocks on the Belgian continental shelf does not seem to aim at the conservation of those stocks but rather at their exploitation.
Čini se da pronalaženje komercijalno iskoristivih stokova školjkaša na belgijskom epikontinentalnom pojasu nije usmjereno na očuvanje tih stokova, nego na njihovo iskorištavanje.
Finally, on the Dagverse vis promotion campaign, the Commission noted that by praising the Belgian origin of the products (fish caught by the Belgian coastal fleet) in contrast to fish caught by foreign vessels, SDVO has made reference to the geographic origin of the products and has acted in contravention to its articles of association and to Decision N 274/03.
Konačno, u pogledu promidžbene kampanje Dagverse vis Komisija je primijetila da isticanjem belgijskog podrijetla proizvoda (riba koju je ulovila belgijska flota za priobalni ribolov) u odnosu na ribu koju su ulovila strana plovila SDVO upućuje na zemljopisno podrijetlo proizvoda i da djeluje u suprotnosti sa svojim statutom i Odlukom N 274/03.
Nevertheless, the Commission took note of the fact that the Dagverse vis campaign has been adapted and had already stopped making reference to the geographical origin of the products at the time of the adoption of the opening decision.
Komisija je primila na znanje činjenicu da je kampanja Dagverse vis izmijenjena te da se od donošenja odluke o pokretanju postupka u njoj više ne upućuje na zemljopisno podrijetlo proizvoda.
No additional comments were received from the complainant.
Podnositelj pritužbe nije dostavio dodatne primjedbe.
SDVO reiterated its position, as follows:
SDVO je ponovio svoje primjedbe:
The mussels project
Projekt uzgoja dagnji:
The mussel project was undertaken in two steps.
Projekt uzgoja dagnji proveden je u dvije faze.
In the first phase 13 prototype mussel cages, developed to meet the climatological and nautical requirements of the Belgian coast, were deployed.
U prvoj fazi postavljeno je 13 pokusnih kaveza za dagnje, koji su konstruirani za klimatske i pomorske uvjete belgijske obale.
In a second phase an additional 87 mussel cages were deployed.
U drugoj fazi postavljeno je dodatnih 87 kaveza za dagnje.
In order to assess whether the project was economically viable, it was necessary to go through the entire production and commercialisation process.
Kako bi se ocijenila ekonomska isplativost projekta, bilo je potrebno provesti cijeli proizvodno-prodajni proces.
The various steps of the process had effectively to be followed, including the promotional activities.
Trebalo je u biti pratiti razne faze procesa, uključujući promidžbene aktivnosti.
The publicity campaign was carried out in 2007, 2008 and 2009 and was, contrary to the arguments of the Commission, of a limited duration and extent.
Oglašivačka kampanja provodila se 2007., 2008. i 2009. i imala je, suprotno tvrdnjama Komisije, ograničen opseg i trajanje.
This publicity campaign can be considered of general interest.
Ta se kampanja može smatrati kampanjom od općeg interesa.
It was always intended that, after the research stage, the project would be transferred to a cooperative opened to all, including the complainant.
Namjera je oduvijek bila da se nakon istraživačke faze projekt prenese na zadrugu otvorenu svima, uključujući i podnositelja pritužbe.
It was the intention of the SDVO to develop the commercial brand Flanders Queen for the specific purposes of the project.
SDVO je namjeravao razviti trgovačku marku Flanders Queen za posebne namjene projekta.
However, upon transfer of the project to the VSVC apparently the decision was made to continue sales of the mussels under this name.
Međutim, nakon prijenosa projekta na VSVC očito je donesena odluka da se nastavi s prodajom dagnji pod tim nazivom.
The development of the project and the promotional campaign should not be considered as expenses in the course of a normal production process.
Razvoj projekta i oglašivačku kampanju ne treba smatrati troškovima u okviru uobičajenog proizvodnog procesa.
The project went further than would have been done by a private undertaking as the associated costs would be very high.
Projekt je razvijen više nego što bi ga razvilo privatno poduzeće zato što bi troškovi povezani s projektom bili vrlo visoki.
A private undertaking would simply not be prepared to make the investments needed merely to test out the best method to be applied or merely to identify areas suitable for the cultivation of mussels.
Privatno poduzeće jednostavno ne bi bilo spremno uložiti potrebna sredstva samo radi ispitivanja najboljeg postupka ili samo radi utvrđivanja područja prikladnih za uzgoj dagnji.
Finding of new shellfish stocks
Pronalaženje novih stokova školjkaša
SDVO is of the opinion that the finding of new shellfish stocks falls within the scope of its articles of association; as such activity is to be considered as control and conservation measures as defined by category (c) of its articles of association.
SDVO smatra da je pronalaženje novih stokova školjkaša obuhvaćeno njihovim statutom jer se takva djelatnost treba smatrati mjerama nadzora i očuvanja kako se definiraju u kategoriji (c) njegova statuta.
Additionally, the project is part of a conversion of the fishing fleet necessitated, among others, by the loss of fishing grounds as a result of the installation of offshore windmill parks.
Nadalje, projekt je dio prenamjene ribolovne flote među ostalim uvjetovane gubitkom ribolovnih područja zbog postavljanja pučinskih parkova vjetrenjača.
Dagverse Vis promotion campaign
Promotivna kampanja Dagverse Vis
SDVO pointed out that promotion campaign had been revised and the reference to geographical origin initially used had been taken out.
SDVO je istaknuo da je promidžbena kampanja izmijenjena i da se prestalo upućivati na zemljopisno podrijetlo.
The mussel project: development of a commercial name and publicity
Projekt razvoja dagnji: razvoj trgovačke marke i oglašivanje
As described above, SDVO launched an extensive publicity campaign for its mussels.
Kako je navedeno, SDVO je pokrenuo opsežnu kampanju za oglašivanje svojih dagnji.
Instead of organising the promotion of mussels in general, the publicity material is based around a particular commercial brand (Flanders Queen Mussel), targeting a particular undertaking (SDVO) and containing several references to the geographic origin of the products (i.e. Flanders).
Umjesto organiziranja općenite promidžbe sektora dagnji, oglašivački materijal usmjeren je na određenu trgovačku marku (Flanders Queen Mussel), konkretno poduzeće (SDVO) i u nekoliko navrata upućuje na zemljopisno podrijetlo proizvoda (Flandrija).
In consequence thereof, SDVO has acted in contradiction with its articles of association (and thus the scheme) as these articles explicitly indicate that SDVO will reinforce the image of the sea fishery, but without targeting any particular firm and without referring to the geographical origin of the products and prohibit promotion measures based around commercial brand and/or referring to the geographic origin of the products.
Kao posljedica toga, SDVO je djelovao u suprotnosti sa svojim statutom (a time i s programom) u kojem izričito stoji da će SDVO jačati ugled morskog ribarstva, ali bez navođenja konkretnih poduzeća i upućivanja na zemljopisno podrijetlo proizvoda te zabraniti promidžbene mjere koje se temelje na trgovačkim markama i/ili upućivanju na zemljopisno podrijetlo proizvoda.
Furthermore, the SDVO has acted in contradiction with Decision N 274/03 which explicitly indicates that no geographical reference is permitted.
Nadalje, SDVO je djelovao u suprotnosti s Odlukom N 274/03 u kojoj se izričito navodi da nije dopušteno navođenje zemljopisnih referenci.
The Commission, however, observes that the commercial brand has remained in use also after the end of the pilot project.
Komisija, međutim, primjećuje da se trgovačka marka upotrebljavala i nakon dovršetka pilot-projekta.
As a matter of fact, upon the transfer of the mussel project to the VSVC, the sale of the mussels continued under the name of Flanders Queen Mussel.
Naime, nakon prijenosa projekta uzgoja dagnji na VSVC, dagnje su se i dalje prodavale pod trgovačkom markom Flanders Queen Mussel.
Furthermore, the SDVO website provided information as to where Flanders Queen Mussel could be obtained.
Nadalje, na web-mjestu SDVO-a navode se informacije o tome gdje se mogu nabaviti dagnje Flanders Queen Mussel.
The Commission also notes that SDVO organised a number of promotional and publicity events for the Flanders Queen Mussel during 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Komisija primjećuje i da je SDVO tijekom 2007., 2008. i 2009. organizirao brojna događanja za promicanje i oglašivanje dagnji Flanders Queen Mussel.
Moreover, part of the publicity activities (2008 and 2009) were in fact done after the studies commissioned in the framework of the pilot project had already been delivered.
Nadalje, dio aktivnosti oglašivanja (2008. i 2009.) proveden je nakon što su studije naručene u okviru pilot-projekta već bile isporučene.
Indeed, the final report concerning the economic feasibility of the mussel project was delivered on 22 November 2007 and the results of the evaluation of the implementation of the marketing plan were presented on 21 February 2008.
Naime, konačno izvješće o ekonomskoj izvedivosti projekta uzgoja dagnji isporučeno je 22. studenoga 2007., a rezultati ocjene provedbe marketinškog plana izloženi su 21. veljače 2008.
In any event, the Commission notes that the prohibition to promote particular brands and make reference in publicity operations to the geographical origin of the products applies to all operations.
U svakom slučaju, Komisija primjećuje da se zabrana promidžbe konkretnih trgovačkih marki i upućivanje na zemljopisno podrijetlo proizvoda u oglašivačkim kampanjama odnosi na sve aktivnosti.
Thus, even short-term projects (financed through public funds) are not allowed to aim at promoting particular brands or make references to geographical areas.
Stoga se ni kratkoročnim projektima (koji se financiraju javnim sredstvima) ne smiju promicati određene trgovačke marke ni upućivati na određena zemljopisna područja.
The scheme and Decision N 274/03 do not foresee any exception to this rule and could not have foreseen such an exception, as it would have been contrary to the 2001 Fisheries Guidelines.
Programom i Odlukom N 274/03 ne predviđaju se niti su se mogle predvidjeti iznimke od tog pravila jer bi to bilo protivno Smjernicama za ribarstvo iz 2001.
Finally, the development of a commercial name for a product that will be sold on the market and the launching of a publicity campaign correspond to expenditures which occur in the normal production process and were thus not allowed under the scheme.
Konačno, razvoj trgovačkog naziva za neki proizvod koji će se prodavati na tržištu te pokretanje oglašivačke kampanje odgovaraju troškovima koji nastaju u uobičajenom proizvodnom procesu, pa stoga nisu dopušteni u okviru navedenog programa.
For these reasons, the Commission considers that by developing the commercial name and launching the publicity and promotion campaign for the Flanders Queen Mussel, SDVO was acting outside the scope of its articles of association and Decision N 274/03.
Zbog toga Komisija smatra da je SDVO razvojem trgovačkog naziva i pokretanjem kampanje za promicanje i oglašivanje dagnji Flanders Queen Mussel djelovao izvan područja primjene svojeg statuta i Odluke N 274/03.
For the above reasons, the Commission considers that SVDO has been misusing the aid authorised under the Scheme as far as the development of a commercial name and publicity is concerned.
Komisija stoga smatra da je SVDO zloupotrijebio potporu odobrenu u okviru programa u pogledu razvoja trgovačkog naziva i oglašivanja.
The mussel project: exploitation of 87 additional cages
Projekt uzgoja dagnji: iskorištavanje dodatnih 87 kaveza
The Commission is aware of the fact that the mussel project consists of different parts.
Komisija je svjesna činjenice da je projekt uzgoja dagnji sačinjen od različitih dijelova.
As such, the first part of the project is not called into question whereas its concerns relate to the investments made after the completion of the pilot project.
Ona ne dovodi u pitanje prvi dio projekta, nego ulaganje izvršeno nakon dovršetka pilot-projekta.
The Commission is of the opinion that by acquiring and exploiting the 87 additional mussel cages, SDVO did not act in conformity with its articles of association and Decision N 274/03.
Komisija smatra da nabavom i iskorištavanjem dodatnih 87 kaveza za dagnje SDVO nije djelovao u skladu sa svojim statutom i Odlukom N 274/03.
The Belgian authorities are of the opinion that the exploitation of the additional 87 cages was a short-term operation with a focus on collective interest.
Belgijske vlasti smatraju da je iskorištavanje 87 dodatna kaveza kratkoročno djelovanje usmjereno na zajednički interes.
Furthermore they argue that expanding the number of cages had a broader scope than operations normally undertaken by private businesses would have as a private business simply would not invest on such a large scale without knowing that the operation can be profitable on a large scale.
Nadalje smatraju da se povećanjem broja kaveza djeluje šire nego što bi uobičajeno djelovali privatni poduzetnici jednostavno zato što oni ne bi poduzimali tako opsežna ulaganja a da pritom nisu sigurni da će operacija biti profitabilna u velikim razmjerima.
However, the Commission doubts that the acquisition and exploitation of 87 additional cages can be viewed as a short-term action.
Komisija međutim sumnja da se nabava i iskorištavanje dodatnih 87 kaveza može smatrati kratkoročnim djelovanjem.
First, the Commission find that the acquisition of 87 additional cages corresponds to a long-term investment that is hard to reconcile with the concept of short-term action.
Prvo, Komisija smatra da nabava dodatnih 87 kaveza odgovara dugoročnom ulaganju koje se teško može uskladiti s pojmom kratkoročnog djelovanja.
Second, the Commission observes that SDVO does not seem to have conceived the acquisition of the 87 additional cages as a short-term action that would exclusively serve the purpose of making the study possible.
Drugo, Komisiji se čini da SDVO nabavu dodatnih 87 kaveza nije zamislio kao kratkoročno djelovanje koje bi isključivo trebalo poslužiti u svrhu izvedbe studije.
SDVO has treated the acquisition of the cages as an investment and has looked for ways to have a return on the investment.
SDVO je s nabavom kaveza postupio kao s ulaganjem i tražio je načine kojima bi osigurao povrat ulaganja.
Indeed, already in 2008 it had plans to continue the business through a newly established subsidiary.
Još 2008. planirao je nastaviti poslovanje preko svojeg novoosnovanog ovisnog društva.
Also in 2009, when SDVO officially stopped selling the Flanders Queen Mussel, it actually continued, nonetheless, to exploit the 87 additional cages.
Premda je SDVO 2009. službeno prestao prodavati dagnje Flanders Queen Mussel, u stvarnosti je nastavio s iskorištavanjem 87 dodatnih kaveza.
As a matter of fact, it leased and rented its infrastructure and harvesting services to another company and thus carried out a commercial activity.
Naime, SDVO je dao u najam svoju infrastrukturu i usluge branja dagnji drugom poduzeću i na taj je način nastavio komercijalno poslovati.
The fact that a commercial subsidiary was established to exploit the mussels project seems to confirm that indeed there was no genuine intention on behalf of SDVO to simply deliver the results for the benefit of the sector.
Čini se da činjenica da je trgovačko ovisno društvo osnovano radi iskorištavanja projekta uzgoja dagnji potvrđuje da SDVO nije iskreno namjeravao samo isporučiti rezultate u korist cijelog sektora.
In this context the Commission notes that the agreements concluded in 2009 between SDVO and VSVC contained provisions designed at protecting the commercial interests of VSVC (e.g. guarantee arrangement, provisions for the prevention of any conflict of interests between VSVC and other producers).
U tom kontekstu Komisija primjećuje da su ugovori koje su 2009. sklopili SDVO i VSVC sadržavali odredbe namijenjene zaštiti trgovačkih interesa VSVC-a (tj. jamstveni aranžman, odredbe o sprječavanju bilo kakvog sukoba interesa između VSVC-a i ostalih proizvođača).
Such types of arrangements and provisions would seem to confirm that the exploitation of the additional cages was a commercial activity and was not in the collective interest.
Čini se da takvi aranžmani i odredbe potvrđuju da je iskorištavanje dodatnih kaveza bila komercijalna djelatnost koja nije bila u zajedničkom interesu.
In the Commission's opinion, the 87 additional cages correspond to expenditures belonging to normal production.
Komisija smatra da dodatnih 87 kaveza odgovara troškovima koji pripadaju uobičajenoj proizvodnji.
Indeed, the Commission believes that once the economic and biological feasibility of a product has been tested and confirmed, it belongs to the normal production and business development process of a firm to acquire and expand its production means.
Komisija naime smatra da nakon testiranja i potvrde ekonomske i biološke izvedivosti proizvoda, nabava i širenje proizvodnih kapaciteta poduzeća pripada u područje uobičajene proizvodnje i razvoja poslovanja poduzeća.
