In the present case, the guarantee fee amounted to 2,3 %.
U ovom je slučaju naknada za jamstvo iznosila 2,3 %.
Given that the beneficiary of the aid is a small regional bus transport operator it is not possible to find an appropriate premium benchmark.
S obzirom na to da je korisnik potpore mali operator regionalnoga autobusnog prometa, nije moguće pronaći odgovarajuću referentnu vrijednost premije.
However, the Czech authorities provided evidence that the remuneration for the guarantee was set at that time on the basis of an independent expert opinion and reflected standard market conditions.
Međutim, češka su tijela dostavila dokaz da je naknada za jamstvo u tom trenutku utvrđena na temelju neovisnog stručnog mišljenja te da je ona odraz standardnih tržišnih uvjeta.
Finally, the borrower must, in principle, be able to obtain a loan on market conditions from the financial markets without any intervention by the State.
Konačno, zajmoprimac mora, u pravilu, moći dobiti kredit po tržišnim uvjetima na financijskim tržištima bez intervencije države.
In that regard, the Czech authorities submitted an offer for another loan by the same bank of August 2008 in which that bank offered to DP Ústí a loan amounting to CZK 40 million with two alternative collaterals possible:
U tom su pogledu češka tijela dostavila ponudu iste banke za drugi kredit iz kolovoza 2008. kojom banka društvu DP Ústí nudi kredit u iznosu od 40 milijuna CZK uz dva moguća druga kolaterala:
either a guarantee by the municipality of Ústí nad Labem or a pledge over DP Ústí's assets.
jamstvo općine Ústí nad Labem ili založno pravo na imovini društva Ústí nad Labem.
The conditions of the loan were the same under both alternatives, which is also expressly confirmed by a letter from the bank.
Uvjeti su kredita bili jednaki za obje mogućnosti, što je izričito potvrđeno i dopisom banke.
This demonstrates that DP Ústí was able to obtain the loan under the same conditions even without the guarantee.
To je dokaz da je društvo DP Ústí moglo dobiti kredit po jednakim uvjetima čak i bez jamstva.
Even though that loan was provided later than the loans covered by the guarantees assessed in this case, there are no indications that the financial situation of DP Ústí was significantly different in those two periods.
Iako je kredit odobren nakon kredita osiguranih jamstvima koja se procjenjuju u ovom slučaju, nema pokazatelja da se financijska situacija društva DP Ústí znatno razlikovala u ta dva razdoblja.
According to the balance sheet of DP Ústí of 31 December 2004, DP Ústí's own capital amounted to CZK 668 million while its total debts amounted to only CZK 122 million (including the guaranteed loan of CZK 35 million).
Iz bilance društva DP Ústí od 31. prosinca 2004. vidljivo je da njegov vlastiti kapital iznosi 668 milijuna CZK, a ukupna dugovanja iznose samo 122 milijuna CZK (uključujući kredit u iznosu od 35 milijuna CZK osiguran jamstvom).
Therefore, in light of its financial situation, DP Ústí would have been able to provide sufficient collateral even in 2004/2005.
Stoga, s obzirom na financijsku situaciju, društvo DP Ústí moglo je osigurati dodatni kolateral čak i u 2004./2005.
In light of the above, the Commission considers that, although the guarantee covered 100 % of the loans, the Czech authorities submitted sufficient evidence that the guarantees did not provide any economic advantage to DP Ústí.
S obzirom na prethodno navedeno, Komisija smatra da su, iako je jamstvom pokriveno 100 % kredita, češka tijela dostavila dovoljno dokaza da tim jamstvima društvu DP Ústí nije omogućena nikakva ekonomska prednost.
Accordingly, the Commission concludes that the guarantees in favour of DP Ústí do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Komisija, prema tome, zaključuje da jamstva u korist društva DP Ústí ne predstavljaju državnu potporu u smislu članka 107. stavka 1. Ugovora.
Increase of equity capital in DP Ústí (measure referred to in recital 96 under (e))
Dokapitalizacija društva DP Ústí (mjera iz uvodne izjave 96. točke (e))
The increase of the equity capital of DP Ústí was carried out by the Municipality of Ústí nad Labem.
Dokapitalizaciju društva DP Ústí provela je općina Ústí nad Labem.
Hence, State resources were involved in that operation.
Stoga ta transakcija uključuje državna sredstva.
As regards the capital increase, the Czech authorities argue that its purpose was to provide financing for the last stage of the construction of a trolley-bus network which had been under construction since 1984.
Kad je riječ o dokapitalizaciji, češka tijela tvrde da je njezina svrha bila osiguranje financiranja posljednje faze izgradnje mreže trolejbusa koja je u izgradnji od 1984.
That additional investment into electrification of the municipal transport network of Ústí nad Labem would, according to the Czech authorities, improve the environmental conditions in the municipality.
Tim bi se dodatnim ulaganjem u elektrifikaciju prometne mreže općine Ústí nad Labem, prema češkim tijelima, poboljšali okolišni uvjeti u općini.
In the absence of evidence that DP Ústí would have been able to obtain similar financing from other sources or that a hypothetical private investor would have provided such a capital increase as well, the capital increase should be considered to provide an advantage to DP Ústí.
U izostanku dokaza da bi društvo DP Ústí moglo dobiti slično financiranje iz drugih izvora ili da bi i hipotetski privatni ulagač proveo takvu dokapitalizaciju, treba smatrati da se dokapitalizacijom društvu DP Ústí omogućava prednost.
The capital increase is selective insofar as it was granted to only one company, DP Ústí.
Dokapitalizacija je selektivna jer je odobrena samo jednom društvu, društvu DP Ústí.
A measure granted by the State is considered to distort or threaten to distort competition when it is liable to improve the competitive position of the recipient compared to other undertakings with which it competes.
Smatra se da mjera koju je dodijelila država narušava ili prijeti da će narušiti tržišno natjecanje ako bi mogla poboljšati konkurentan položaj primatelja u odnosu na ostala poduzeća s kojima se natječe.
For all practical purposes, a distortion of competition within the meaning of Article 107 of the Treaty is thus assumed as soon as the State grants a financial advantage to an undertaking in a liberalised sector where there is, or could be, competition.
U praktičnu svrhu, narušavanje tržišnog natjecanja u smislu članka 107. Ugovora, stoga, se pretpostavlja čim država omogući financijsku prednost poduzeću u liberaliziranim sektoru u kojem je postoji, ili bi moglo postojati, tržišno natjecanje.
Even a public subsidy granted to an undertaking which provides only local or regional services and does not provide any services outside its State of origin may nonetheless have an effect on trade between Member States where undertakings from other Member States might provide such services.
Čak bi i javna subvencija dodijeljena poduzeću koje pruža samo lokalne ili regionalne usluge i ne pruža nikakve usluge izvan svoje države podrijetla mogla utjecati na trgovinu među državama članicama ako bi poduzeća iz ostalih država članica mogla pružati takve usluge.
Therefore, where a public authority grants a capital increase to an undertaking supplying transport services, the supply of those services may, by virtue of that increase, be maintained or increased with the result that undertakings established in other Member States have less of a chance of providing their transport services in the market in that Member State [34].
Stoga, ako državno tijelo odobri dokapitalizaciju poduzeću koje pruža usluge prijevoza, pružanje bi se tih usluga, zahvaljujući njoj, moglo održati ili povećati zbog čega poduzeća osnovana u drugim državama članicama imaju slabije šanse za pružanje svojih usluga prijevoza na tržištu te države članice [34].
Therefore, the Commission concludes that the capital increase in favour of DP Ústí is liable to distort competition and affect trade between Member States.
Komisija, stoga, zaključuje da dokapitalizacija može dovesti do narušavanja tržišnog natjecanja i utjecati na trgovinu među državama članicama.
In light of the foregoing, the Commission concludes that the increase of the equity capital of DP Ústí by the Municipality of Ústí nad Labem constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
S obzirom na prethodno navedeno, Komisija zaključuje da dokapitalizacija društva DP Ústí koju je provela općina Ústí nad Labem predstavlja državnu potporu u smislu članka 107. stavka 1. Ugovora.
Additional compensations/other measures granted to DP Ústí and DP Teplice in 2005 and 2006
Dodatne naknade/ostale mjere dodijeljene društvima DP Ústí i DP Teplice u 2005. i 2006.
As explained in recitals 26, 27 and 31, the additional compensations granted to DP Ústí by the Municipality of Ústí nad Labem and the additional compensations and the three trolley-bus leases granted to DP Teplice by the Municipality of Teplice relate exclusively to municipal public transport services within those municipalities, so that those measures are unrelated to and clearly separate from the public service compensations for regional bus transport provided by the Ústí Region examined in the Opening Decision and this Decision.
Kako je objašnjeno u uvodnim izjavama (26), (27) i (31), dodatne naknade koje je društvu DP Ústí dodijelila općina Ústí nad Labem i dodatne naknade i najmovi trolejbusa koje je društvu DP Teplice dodijelila općina Teplice odnose se isključivo na usluge općinskog javnog prijevoza unutar tih općina pa te mjere nisu povezane s naknadama za javnu uslugu koje je osigurala regija Ústí za usluge regionalnog autobusnog prijevoza, koje se ispituju na temelju ove Odluke, te su jasno odvojene od njih.
Entrusting DP Děčín with the operation of parking meters
Povjeravanje upravljanja funkcioniranjem uređaja za naplatu parkiranja društvu DP Děčín
Although the Commission explicitly concluded in the Opening Decision that any potential advantage involved in entrusting DP Děčín with the operation of parking meters cannot distort competition and affect trade between Member States, since it meets the conditions for de minimis aid in line with Regulation (EC) No 69/2001, DPÚK disputed that finding by arguing that the de minimis threshold does not apply in the public transport sector.
Iako je Komisija u Odluci o pokretanju postupka izričito zaključila da sve potencijalne prednosti od upravljanja funkcioniranjem uređaja za naplatu parkiranja društva DP Děčín ne mogu predstavljati narušavanje tržišnog natjecanja i utjecati na trgovinu među državama članicama jer je ono ispunjava uvjete za potporu de minimis u skladu s Uredbom Komisije (EZ) br. 69/2001, društvo DPÚK osporilo je taj nalaz tvrdeći da se prag de minimis ne primjenjuje u sektoru javnog prijevoza.
In response to that contention, the Commission notes that the operation of parking meters cannot be considered as a transport activity.
Komisija u odgovoru na tu tvrdnju napominje da se upravljanje funkcioniranjem uređaja za naplatu parkiranja ne može smatrati djelatnošću prijevoza.
Although DP Děčín is a provider of passenger bus services and active in the transport sector, the fact that it operated parking meters as a secondary activity does not mean that the operation of the parking meters should qualify as a transport activity excluded from the de minimis threshold.
Iako je društvo DP Děčín pružatelj usluge autobusnog prijevoza putnika i posluje u sektoru prijevoza, činjenica da mu je druga djelatnost upravljanje funkcioniranjem uređaja za parkiranja ne znači da bi se ono trebala smatrati djelatnošću prijevoza koja je nije obuhvaćena pragom de minimis.
The Commission therefore maintains its conclusion that payments received by DP Děčín for the operation of parking meters fall within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 69/2001.
Komisija, stoga, ostaje pri zaključku da su isplate koje je primilo društvo DP Děčín za upravljanje funkcioniranjem uređaja za naplatu parkiranja obuhvaćene područjem primjene Uredbe (EZ) br. 69/2001.
Article 93 of the Treaty provides that ‘[a]ids shall be compatible with the Treaties if they meet the needs of coordination of transport or if they represent reimbursement for the discharge of certain obligations inherent in the notion of a public service.’ That Article constitutes a lex specialis in relation to Articles 106 and 107 of the Treaty.
Člankom 93. Ugovora predviđeno je da su „[p]otpore usklađene s ugovorima ako ispunjavaju potrebe koordinacije prijevoza ili ako predstavljaju naknadu za ispunjavanje određenih obveza koje su svojstvene konceptu pružanja javnih usluga.” Ovaj je članak lex specialis u odnosu na članke 106. i 107. Ugovora.
According to the case-law of the Court of Justice [35], aid to land transport may be declared compatible on the basis of Article 93 of the Treaty only in well-defined cases which do not jeopardise the general interests of the Union.
Prema sudskoj praksi Suda [35], potpora cestovnom prijevozu može se proglasiti usklađenom na temelju članka 93. Ugovora samo u dobro definiranim slučajevima koji ne ugrožavaju opće interese Unije.
The Commission has concluded that the measures listed in recital 96 under (a), (c) and (e) constitute aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Komisija je zaključila da mjere iz uvodne izjave 96. točaka (a), (c) i (e) predstavljaju državnu potporu u smislu članka 107. stavka 1. Ugovora.
As regards the compatibility of those measures with the internal market, the Commission will examine the measures listed in recital 96 under (a) and (c) together, as they both concern compensation granted by the Ústí Region for discharging public service obligations, while the measure under (e) concerns an increase in the capital of DP Ústí by the Municipality of Ústí nad Labem.
Kad je riječ o usklađenosti tih mjera s unutarnjim tržištem, Komisija će zajednički ispitati mjere iz uvodne izjave 96. točaka (a) i (c) jer se obje odnose na naknadu koju je dodijelila regija Ústí za ispunjavanje obveza pružanja javne usluge, dok se mjera iz točke (e) odnosi na dokapitalizaciju društva DP Ústí koju je provela općina Ústí nad Labem.
Compensations for discharging public service obligations granted for providing transport services (measures referred to in recital 96 under (a) and (c))
Naknade za ispunjavanje obveza pružanja javne usluge dodijeljene za pružanje usluga prijevoza (mjere iz uvodne izjave 96. točaka (a) i (c))
Since the public service compensation in the measures listed in recital 96 under (a) and (c) results from the conclusion of public service contracts between the Ústí Region and the selected operators, rather than from the unilateral imposition of public service obligations, the Czech authorities cannot rely on the exemption from prior notification to the Commission provided by Article 17(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69.
S obzirom na to da naknada za pružanje javne usluge u mjerama iz uvodne izjave 96. točaka (a) i (c) proizlazi iz sklapanja ugovora o pružanju javne usluge između regije Ústí i odabranih operatora, a ne iz jednostranog uvođenja obveza pružanja javne usluge, češka se tijela ne mogu osloniti na izuzeće od obveze prethodne prijave Komisiji predviđene člankom 17. stavkom 2. Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1191/69.
It follows from the Combus judgment that the notion of ‘public service compensation’ within the meaning of that provision must be interpreted in a very narrow manner [36].
Iz presude u predmetu Combus proizlazi da se pojam „naknade za pružanje javne usluge” u smislu ove odredbe mora tumačiti vrlo usko [36].
The exemption from notification provided by Article 17(2) covers only compensation for public service obligations imposed unilaterally on an undertaking, pursuant to Article 2 of that Regulation, which is calculated using the method described in Articles 10 to 13 of that Regulation (the common compensation procedure), and not to public service contracts as defined by Article 14 of that Regulation.
Izuzeće od obveze prethodne prijave predviđeno člankom 17. stavkom 2. uključuje samo naknadu za jednostrano uvedene obveze pružanja javne usluge nekom poduzeću, u skladu s člankom 2. te Uredbe, izračunane primjenom metode opisane u člancima 10. do 13. te Uredbe (zajednički postupak isplate naknade), a ne ugovore o pružanju javnih usluga prema definiciji iz članka 14. te Uredbe.
By contrast, compensation paid pursuant to a public service contract as defined by Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 which constitutes State aid should have been notified to the Commission before it was put into effect.
Za razliku od toga, naknada isplaćena u skladu s ugovorom o pružanju javne usluge prema definiciji iz članka 14. Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1191/69 koja predstavlja državnu potporu mora biti prijavljena Komisiji prije nego što se počne primjenjivati.
Failure to do so results in that compensation being deemed illegally implemented aid [37].
U suprotnom, naknada se smatra nezakonito provedenom potporom [37].
Accordingly, the Commission considers that the examination of the compatibility of the public service compensations should be conducted under Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 [38].
Komisija, prema tome, smatra da bi ispitivanje usklađenosti naknada za pružanje javne usluge trebalo provesti na temelju Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007 [38].
It is settled case-law that the rules, principles and criteria of assessment of the compatibility of State aid in force on the date on which the Commission takes its decision may, as a rule, be regarded as better adapted to the context of competition [39].
Stalna je sudska praksa da se pravila, načela i kriteriji ocjene usklađenosti državne potpore koji su na snazi na datum donošenja odluke Komisije, mogu, u pravilu, smatrati bolje prilagođenima okolnostima tržišnog natjecanja [39].
Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 is no longer applicable to passenger road transport services as a result of its repeal by Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 on 3 December 2009.
Uredba (EEZ) br. 1191/69 više se ne primjenjuje na usluge cestovnog prijevoza putnika zbog toga što je stavljena izvan snage Uredbom (EZ) br. 1370/2007 3. prosinca 2009.
Thus, any compatibility assessment of the measure must therefore be made on the basis of the rules in force at the time the Commission takes its decision as to whether the aid should be recovered as a result of its being incompatible with the internal market [40], in this case, Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, which governs the award of public service contracts in the field of public passenger transport by road and by rail.
Stoga se svaka ocjena usklađenosti mjere mora obaviti na temelju pravila koja su na snazi u trenutku donošenja odluke Komisije u pogledu potrebe za povratom potpore zbog njezine neusklađenosti s unutarnjim tržištem [40], u ovom slučaju Uredbom (EZ) br. 1370/2007, kojom se uređuje dodjeljivanje ugovora o pružanju javne usluge u području javnog prijevoza putnika u cestovnom i željezničkom prometu.
According to Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 ‘[p]ublic service compensation for the operation of public passenger transport services or for complying with tariff obligations established through general rules paid in accordance with this Regulation shall be compatible with the [internal] market. Such compensation shall be exempt from the prior notification requirement laid down in Article [108(3)] of the Treaty’.
U skladu s člankom 9. stavkom 1. Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007 „[n]aknada za javnu uslugu obavljanja javnog prijevoza putnika ili za poštovanje tarifnih obveza ustanovljenih općim pravilima, koja je plaćena u skladu s ovom Uredbom, sukladna je s [unutarnjim] tržištem. Takva je naknada izuzeta od obveze prethodne prijave utvrđene u članku [108. stavku 3.] Ugovora”.
For public service compensation to be considered as being paid in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 a number of conditions must be met.
Brojni uvjeti trebaju biti ispunjeni kako bi se naknada za pružanje javne usluge smatrala isplaćenom u skladu s Uredbom (EZ) br. 1370/2007.
Article 6(1) of that Regulation provides that in the case of directly awarded public service contracts compensation must comply with the provisions of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 and with the provisions laid down in the Annex to that Regulation to ensure that the compensation does not go beyond what is necessary to carry out the public service obligation.
Člankom 6. stavkom 1. iste Uredbe predviđa se da u slučaju izravno sklopljenih ugovora o pružanju javne usluge naknada treba biti u skladu s odredbama članka 4. Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007 i u skladu s odredbama utvrđenima Prilogom toj Uredbi kako bi se osiguralo da naknada ne prijeđe iznos potreban za ispunjenje obveza pružanja javne usluge.
As explained in sections 2.2 and 2.4, the public service contracts concluded in relation to the measures listed in recital 96 under (a) and (c) were not granted pursuant to a tender [41], but directly awarded to the operators in question.
Kako je objašnjeno u odjeljcima 2.2. i 2.4., ugovori sklopljeni u pogledu mjera iz uvodne izjave 96. točaka (a) i (c), nisu dodijeljeni nakon natječaja [41], već izravno predmetnim operatorima.
Thus, for the compensation resulting from those contracts to be considered in compliance with Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 and thus compatible with the internal market and exempt from prior notification to the Commission, that compensation must comply with the provisions of Article 4 of the Regulation and the Annex thereto.
Stoga, kako bi se naknada koje proizlazi iz tih ugovora smatrala usklađenom s Uredbom (EZ) br. 1370/2007, a time i s unutarnjim tržištem i bila izuzeta od obveze prethodne prijave Komisiji, ona mora biti u skladu s odredbama članka 4. te Uredbe i njezinim Prilogom.
Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 establishes the mandatory content of public service contracts and sets out general rules:
Člankom 4. Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007 utvrđeni su obvezni sadržaj ugovora o pružanju javne usluge i opća pravila:
Article 4(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 requires that the public service obligation be clearly defined.
Člankom 4. stavkom 1. točkom (a) Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007 zahtijeva se jasno određivanje obveze pružanja javne usluge.
Moreover, to fall within the scope of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, the public service obligations laid down by those contracts have to comply with the definition laid down in Article 2(e) thereof [42].
Osim toga, kako bi bile obuhvaćene područjem primjene Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007, obveze pružanja javne usluge utvrđene tim ugovorima trebaju biti u skladu s definicijom utvrđenom člankom 2. točkom (e) iste Uredbe [42].
As noted in recital 101, the contracts on the basis of which the authorities of the Ústí Region arranged the provision of public service obligations with the transport operators listed in recital 96 under (a) and (c) define the scope of the public service obligation to provide transport services.
Kako je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi 101., ugovorima na temelju koji su tijela regije Ústí organizirala ispunjavanje obveza pružanja javne usluge s operatorima prijevoza iz uvodne izjave 96. točaka (a) i (c), definiran je opseg obveze pružanja javne usluge prijevoza.
Moreover, as demonstrated through a comparison of the expected provable loss and the actual loss for those lines as provided in Tables 1 to 9 above, those lines cannot be operated on a commercial basis so that an operator, if they were considering its own commercial interests, would not assume the operation of the lines or would not assume it to the same extent or under the same conditions without reward.
Osim toga, kako je vidljivo iz usporedbe očekivanoga dokazivoga gubitka i stvarnoga gubitka na tim linijama navedenih u prethodnim tablicama 1. do 9., tim se linijama ne može prometovati na komercijalnoj osnovi tako da operator, uzimajući u obzir vlastite poslovne interese, ne bi preuzeo prometovanje na tim linijama ili ga ne bi preuzeo u jednakoj mjeri i po jednakim uvjetima bez naknade.
