According to RATP Dev, they satisfied the four Altmark criteria.
Mehanizam određivanja parametara za dodjelu naknada redovito je kontroliran uzimajući u obzir potrebu da se unaprijed i na transparentan način utvrdi iznos subvencija kako bi se izbjegla dodjela prekomjernih naknada.
As regards the first Altmark criterion, RATP Dev pointed out that the Commission, in its opening decision, did not dispute that the operating costs were designed to compensate for the discharge of clearly defined PSOs.
Kada je riječ o trećem i četvrtom kriteriju iz presude Altmark financijskim sustavom ugovora o obavljanju usluga bilo je predviđeno da prijevozna poduzeća svake godine moraju podnijeti strogo kontroliranu procjenu troškova obavljanja usluga u koju su bili uključeni prihodi od subvencija regije.
As regards the second Altmark criterion, for each of the routes concerned the co-contracting undertakings submitted dossiers to STIF.
Udio lokalne jedinice uprave kao druge ugovorne strane utvrđen je prema deficitu izraženom u procjeni troškova obavljanja usluga.
These dossiers evaluated the financing needs on the basis of a detailed financial analysis.
Provođeni su i mehanizmi povrata naknada u cilju izbjegavanja dodjele prekomjernih naknada.
Lastly, as regards the considerations linked to the third and fourth criteria, RATP Dev explained that legal analysis of the CT1s clearly showed that the principles applying to remuneration were in conformity with the rulings in the Altmark judgment, as those contracts also had checking mechanisms which could lead to a refund of the aid.
Mjere koje je provodio STIF u okviru ugovora CT1
RATP Dev regarded the mechanisms run by the Region and STIF as existing aid schemes within the meaning of the 1999 Procedural Regulation since they had been set up, according to RATP Dev, before the TFEU entered into force and the relevant scheduled transport markets were still closed markets at that time.
RATP Dev smatra da mehanizam koji je uveo STIF ne ispunjava kriterije selektivnosti i gospodarske koristi.
The Region's mechanism was based on a regulatory arrangement that had not changed between 1949 and 2012, while the STIF mechanism was the extension of a scheme set up in 1948.
Stoga se ne može smatrati državnom potporom.
The Region's and STIF's mechanisms did not constitute State aid when they were implemented, in that they did not hinder intra-Community trade.
U pogledu kriterija selektivnosti primjenjuje se isto mišljenje kao ono navedeno u uvodnim izjavama 134. i 135.
At the time they were set up, the markets concerned were closed to competition, which ruled out meeting the fourth criterion for qualifying as State aid.
Kada je riječ o kriteriju gospodarske koristi, subvencije STIF-a srodne su naknadama za obavljanje javne usluge.
The Commission had no power to call for the recovery of aid paid under these existing aid schemes.
RATP Dev smatra da su potpore ispunjavale sva četiri kriterija iz presude Altmark.
It could only lay down corrective measures for the future.
U pogledu prvog kriterija iz presude Altmark RATP Dev napominje da Komisija u svojoj odluci o pokretanju postupka nije osporila činjenicu da su troškovi poslovanja trebali nadoknaditi izvršavanje jasno definiranih obveza obavljanja javne usluge.
If a compatibility assessment were to be required, it would, according to RATP Dev, be necessary to examine the scheme by the yardstick of Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 with respect to the subsidies paid before 3 December 2009, the date on which Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 entered into force.
U pogledu drugog kriterija iz presude Altmark poduzeća koja su potpisala ugovor podnosila su STIF-u podatke za svaku upotrijebljenu liniju.
The contracts concluded by RATP Dev undertakings could be regarded as public-service contracts within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69.
Ti podaci bili su upotrijebljeni za procjenu potrebe za financijskom potporom prema detaljnoj financijskoj analizi.
For the reasons already set out in recital 140, these contracts ensured that no overcompensation would be paid to transport undertakings.
Konačno, u pogledu trećeg i četvrtog kriterija RATP Dev objašnjava da pravna analiza ugovora CT1 jasno pokazuje da su načela primjenjiva na naknade bila u skladu sa sudskog praksom u predmetu Altmark, a ugovori su uključivali i mehanizme kontrole kojima se osigurava povrat potpore.
As the subsidies from the Region were part of the compensation paid under the contracts in question, they were in conformity with Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 and thereby compatible with the internal market.
RATP Dev smatra da su mehanizmi regije i STIF-a postojeći režimi državne potpore u smislu postupovne uredbe iz 1999. zbog toga što su uvedeni prije stupanja na snagu UFEU-a te zbog toga što su u to vrijeme tržišta redovnog prijevoza još uvijek bila zatvorena.
The same reasoning, according to RATP Dev, applied to the compensation paid out by STIF before 3 December 2009 under the CT1.
Naime, mehanizam regije temelji se na zakonskoj odredbi koja se nije mijenjala između 1949. i 2012., dok je mehanizam STIF-a nastavak programa uvedenog 1948.
In the case of the subsidies granted after 3 December 2009, RATP Dev considered that Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 should apply.
Mehanizam regije i STIF-a u trenutku uvođenja nisu smatrani državnim potporama sve dok nisu ometali trgovinu na unutarnjem tržištu.
It provided that compensation paid under public-service contracts was compatible with the internal market and exempt from notification if (i) the contracts included the mandatory content described in Article 4 of the Regulation; and (ii) the compensation did not give rise to any overcompensation.
U vrijeme uspostave tih mehanizama predmetna su tržišta bila zatvorena što isključuje poštovanje četvrtog kriterija u definiranju mjere kao državne potpore.
As these two conditions were met, according to RATP Dev, it concluded that the measures were compatible with the internal market.
Komisija nema nikakve ovlasti tražiti povrat potpora isplaćenih u okviru postojećih programa.
Transdev Île-de-France (‘Transdev’) is part of the Transdev group and conducts its business in the passenger transport sector in Île-de-France, where it operates passenger road transport services outside the central area served by RATP.
Može samo uputiti korektivne mjere za ubuduće.
Its comments related only to the measures implemented by the Region, although the examples of contracts used to back up its arguments also cover part of the CT1 and CT2 period.
Ako je potrebno analizirati spojivost državnih potpora, RATP Dev smatra da bi je trebalo analizirati na temelju Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1191/69 za subvencije isplaćene prije 3. prosinca 2009., odnosno dana stupanja na snagu Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007.
By way of introduction, Transdev pointed out that there were rules specific to Île-de-France governing scheduled passenger transport services by road, as that sector derogated from the normal rules governing transport.
Ugovore koje su zaključila poduzeća grupacije RATP Dev mogu se smatrati ugovorima o obavljanju javne usluge u smislu Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1191/69.
During the period under consideration, the contracting authority was able to choose the operators of the network by including them in the transport plan without first putting the work out to competitive tender, since, in particular, Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 had not yet entered into force.
Zbog razloga navedenih u uvodnoj izjavi 140. tim se ugovorima jamčilo da niti jednom prijevoznom poduzeću neće biti dodijeljena prekomjerna naknada.
It also stated that the contracting authority caused structural deficits to arise by administratively setting the fares charged to users, irrespective of the actual cost of providing the service.
Subvencije regije koje su bile dio isplaćenih naknada u okviru tih ugovora u skladu su s Uredbom (EEZ) br. 1191/69, a time i u skladu s unutarnjim tržištem.
These deficits were offset financially under public-service contracts.
RATP Dev smatra da se isto može primijeniti i na naknade koje je STIF isplatio prije 3. prosinca 2009. u okviru ugovora CT1.
Lastly, the market in scheduled public transport services by road in Île-de-France was not open to competition.
RATP Dev smatra da je Uredbu (EZ) br. 1370/2007 potrebno primijeniti na subvencije isplaćene nakon 3. prosinca 2009.
Transdev commissioned the Microeconomix practice to analyse three agreements and the riders thereto, as well as the financial flows associated with them.
Tom se uredbom određuje da su naknade isplaćene u okviru ugovora o obavljanju javne usluge spojive s unutarnjim tržištem i izuzete od obavještavanja ako i. ugovori uključuju i obvezan sadržaj opisan u članku 4.
It set out the main findings and stated that the expert report clearly showed that the subsidy scheme was neutral and that there was no overcompensation.
Uredbe i ii. naknade neće rezultirati isplatom prekomjernih naknada.
According to Transdev, the arrangements governing the regional subsidies meant that the latter were in no way comparable to investment aid.
RATP Dev smatra da su ova dva uvjeta ispunjena te zaključuje da su mjere u skladu s unutarnjim tržištem.
Regional subsidies were in a sense refunded to the local authority acting as contractor, over the period of depreciation of the assets, by the negative impact which they had on the compensation paid by the local authority.
Transdev Île-de-France (Transdev) jest dio grupacije Transdev te posluje u sektoru putničkog prijevoza u regiji Île-de-France gdje upotrebljava cestovne mreže putničkog prijevoza izvan središnje zone u kojoj usluge pruža RATP.
Thus the measure in question only represented a completely neutral method of paying public-service compensation to transport operators holding a public-service contract.
Primjedbe Transdeva odnose se samo na mjere koje je provodila regija, iako primjeri ugovora upotrijebljeni na temelju njegova mišljenja obuhvaćaju i dio razdoblja ugovora CT1 i CT2.
Because of that neutrality, the criteria for classing the measure as State aid were not met.
Za početak, Transdev podsjeća da zbog specifičnih pravila regije Île-de-France, kojima se uređuje djelatnost redovnog javnog cestovnog prijevoza putnika, ovaj sektor odstupa od općeg pravila.
State resources and imputability
Tijekom predmetnog razdoblja nadležno tijelo moglo je odabrati operatore mreže bez prethodnog natječaja upisom u prometni plan s obzirom na to da Uredba (EZ) br. 1370/2007 u to vrijeme još nije bila na snazi.
In Transdev's view, as the sums paid by the Region ultimately came back to the local authorities, the funds never left the public sphere.
Nadalje, Transdev navodi da je nadležno tijelo prouzročilo strukturne deficite administrativno utvrđujući tarife korisnika neovisno o stvarnim troškovima pružanja usluga.
As the funds were not made available on better terms than those available on the banking market, operators derived no advantage.
Ti su deficiti financijski potpuno nadoknađeni u okviru ugovora o pružanju javne usluge.
The advantage was granted to the local authorities by the Region, without any effect on competition.
Konačno, tržište redovnog javnog cestovnog prijevoza u regiji Île-de-France nije bilo otvoreno.
Moreover, Transdev denied that equipment co-financed by the Region could have competed with equipment owned by undertakings which were not eligible for the subsidies.
Transdev je za analizu triju ugovora i njihovih dopuna te povezanih financijskih tokova angažirao ured Microeconomix.
All the undertakings active on the market in scheduled public transport by road in Île-de-France were affected in the same way, so that the measure was not selective within that market.
Prikazuje glavne rezultate i navodi da se stručnim izvješćem jasno dokazuje neutralnost programa subvencija i nepostojanje dodjele prekomjernih naknada.
As there was no economic advantage or selectivity, Transdev considered that there was no possibility of any distortion of competition or of any effect on trade between Member States.
Transdev smatra da je mehanizam obrade regionalnih subvencija potaknuo mišljenje da se ovdje ne radi o potporama za ulaganja.
Should the Commission, however, conclude that there was State aid, Transdev considered that the mechanism in question would be compatible with the internal market by virtue of its conformity with Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69.
Naime, regionalne subvencije bile su na neki način vraćene jedinici javne uprave nositeljici projekta na razdoblje amortizacije dobara, što je povuklo negativnu pretpostavku da su jedinice javne uprave isplatile naknade.
International Association of Public Transport
Dakle, predmetne mjere bile su samo savršeno neutralan način isplate naknada prijevoznicima koji su potpisali ugovor o obavljanju javne usluge.
The Union internationale des transports publics (‘UITP’) is the International Association of Public Transport, which covers all modes of public transport and has more than 3100 members (operators, authorities and suppliers) throughout the world.
Zbog te neutralnosti nisu ispunjeni kriteriji postojanja državne potpore.
UITP did not go into the details of the mechanisms considered in the opening decision.
Državni resursi i pripisivost državnim resursima
It wished to take the opportunity of recalling certain essential principles relating to the sector concerned.
Transdev smatra da, s obzirom na to da su iznosi koje je regija isplatila na kraju vraćeni lokalnim jedinicama uprave, sredstva nisu nikada izašla iz javne sfere.
Firstly, Member States enjoyed a wide margin for discretion in defining the PSOs, which depended, in particular, on the needs of users, in accordance with the principle laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007.
Budući da uvjeti ustupanja sredstava nisu bili povoljniji od uvjeta na bankarskom tržištu, operatori nisu imali nikakvu gospodarsku korist.
Secondly, it was a feature of public transport systems in Europe that approximately 50 % of the operating costs on average were covered by revenues from fares (30 % in Paris).
Gospodarsku korist od regije imale su jedinice javne uprave, bez učinka na konkurenciju.
It was therefore crucial that PSOs should be properly compensated for by the public authorities.
Nadalje, Transdev negira da je oprema koju je sufinancirala regija mogla konkurirati opremi poduzeća koja nisu udovoljavala uvjetima za dodjelu subvencija.
Lastly, contrary to what appeared to be implied in recital 43 of the Commission's opening decision, the PSOs were not confined to the costs of operating public transport services: their purpose might include an improvement in the quality of the service, the infrastructure or the rolling stock.
Sva su poduzeća koja posluju na tržištu redovnog javnog cestovnog prometa u regiji Île-de-France bila uključena na isti način, tako da mjera u ovom referentnom okviru nije bila selektivne prirode.
The measures could be deemed compatible with the internal market if they fulfilled the conditions of the Regulations applicable, i.e. Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 or Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69.
Budući da nije bilo ni gospodarske koristi ni selektivnosti, Transdev smatra da nije postojala mogućnost narušavanja tržišnog natjecanja, a time ni mogućnost utjecaja na trgovinu među državama članicama.
Additional comments by RATP Dev, Transdev, OPTILE and Keolis submitted on 21 June 2016
Ako je Komisija zaključila da se ovdje radi o državnoj potpori, Transdev smatra da bi predmetni program potpora bio spojiv s unutarnjim tržištem zbog svoje usklađenosti s Uredbom (EEZ) br. 1191/69.
Firstly, the four interested third parties who wished to make additional comments drew the Commission's attention to a decision it had taken when examining the compatibility of a State aid scheme set up by the Czech Republic (the ‘Autobus pořízení decision’) [22].
Union internationale des transports publics (Međunarodno udruženje javnog prijevoza, UITP)
The circumstances underlying that decision were, according to the third parties, very similar to those associated with the mechanism set up by the Region (taken over by the CT1).
Union internationale des transports publics (UITP) međunarodna je organizacija javnog prijevoza koja obuhvaća sve vrste javnog prijevoza te okuplja više od 3100 članova (operatora, nadležnih tijela i pružatelja usluga) diljem svijeta.
The Commission had examined the Czech system of investment subsidies taking into account the repercussions of the subsidies on operating compensation granted under the operating agreements, and had declared it compatible on the basis of Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69.
UITP ne razrađuje detaljno mehanizme promatrane u odluci o pokretanju postupka.
The interested parties went on to argue that the Jørgen Andersen judgment settled the question of which Regulation relating to public passenger transport applied in the present case: it was Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 as amended in 1991, not Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007.
UITP upotrebljava ovu priliku da podsjeti na neka važna načela ovog sektora.
The interested parties argued primarily that the regional subsidies paid under the system set up by the Region did not constitute State aid.
Prvo, države članice imaju dovoljno prostora za različita tumačenja definicije obveza obavljanja javne usluge koje su uvjetovane potrebama korisnika u skladu s načelom utvrđenim u Uredbi (EZ) br. 1370/2007.
They arrived at this conclusion by taking into account the fact that the mechanism included an annual interest rate which applied to subsidies for the purchase of rolling stock.
Drugo, javni prijevoz u Europi karakterizira činjenica da se otprilike 50 % troškova poslovanja pokriva prihodom od prodaje karata (30 % u Parizu).
As far as the question of the applicable Regulation was concerned, the interested parties pointed out that the Jørgen Andersen judgment laid down temporal rules for applying Regulations (EEC) No 1191/69 and (EC) No 1370/2007.
Zato je vrlo važno da javna tijela pravilno nadoknade obveze obavljanja javne usluge.
By that judgment, the Court ruled that Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 applied when assessing:
Konačno, suprotno od onoga što je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi 43. odluke Komisije o pokretanju postupka, obveze obavljanja javne usluge nisu ograničene na troškove obavljanja usluga prijevoza: troškovi mogu služiti poboljšanju kvalitete usluge, infrastrukture i voznog parka.
the lawfulness of the aid payments made before 3 December 2009, since Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 was an exemption regulation which exempted compensation paid in compliance with those provisions from the notification requirement;
Mjere mogu biti spojive s unutarnjim tržištem ako ispunjavaju uvjete primjenjivih zakona, odnosno Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007 ili Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1191/69.
the lawfulness and compatibility of aid paid in performance of the contracts in force at 3 December 2009 and extended for varying periods laid down under Article 8(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007.
Dodatne primjedbe grupacije RATP Dev, poduzeća Transdev, OPTILE-a i Keolisa podnesene 21. lipnja 2016.
In accordance with the Jørgen Andersen judgment, which was binding on the Commission in the case in point, it would have to assess the aid paid before 3 December 2009 under Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69, including compensation paid in the form of prices under the public-service contract system.
Kao prvo, četiri zainteresirane strane koje su željele dopuniti primjedbe upozorile su Komisiju na njezinu odluku donesenu u okviru procjene spojivosti programa državnih potpora koje je uvela Republika Češka („odluka Autobus Porizeni”) [22].
Furthermore, the procedures for calculating compensation paid in the form of prices had been laid down in case law in the Danske Busvognmænd ruling [23], which required such compensation to be ‘directly and exclusively necessary for the performance of the public transport service per se’ [24].
Zainteresirane strane smatraju da su činjenice na kojima se ova odluka temeljila srodne mehanizmu regije (upotrijebljenom u ugovorima CT1).
In the extraordinary event that the Commission were to refuse to regard Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 as an exemption regulation, it would, in conformity with its decision-making practice, have to conclude that the regional subsidies deriving from the mechanism set up by the Region were compatible.
No, Komisija je razmotrila češki sustav subvencija za ulaganja uzimajući u obzir utjecaj subvencija na naknade za obavljanje usluga dodijeljene u okviru ugovora o obavljanju usluga te ga je proglasila spojivim na temelju Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1191/69.
If the Commission were to refuse to apply the principles handed down in the Jørgen Andersen judgment by applying Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, it would have to find that the conditions for considering the compatibility of compensation paid in the form of prices were identical to those set out in Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69.
Nadalje, zainteresirane strane smatraju da je presudom u predmetu Jorgen Andersen zaključeno pitanje o uredbi koja se odnosi na javne usluge putničkog prijevoza koja se primjenjuje u ovom predmetu: radi se o Uredbi (EEZ) br. 1191/69, odnosno njezinoj izmijenjenoj verziji iz 1991., a ne o Uredbi (EZ) br. 1370/2007.
Lastly, the interested third parties also added to their submissions on the implementation of the existing aid scheme following the Commission decision on Dublin Bus/Irish Bus of 15 October 2014 [25].
Prije svega, zainteresirane strane tvrde da regionalne subvencije isplaćene u okviru mehanizma koji je uvela regija nisu državna potpora.
By that decision, the Commission considered that an investment subsidy system set up in 1985 and very similar to the mechanism put in place by the Region constituted an existing aid scheme.
Do tog su zaključka došli uzevši u obzir godišnju kamatnu stopu koja se u okviru ovog mehanizma primjenjivala na subvenciju za kupnju vozila.
ASSESSMENT OF THE MEASURES IN QUESTION BY THE COMMISSION
U pogledu pitanja primjenjive uredbe zainteresirane strane tvrde da su presudom u predmetu Jorgen Andersen utvrđena pravila primjene u vrijeme Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1191/69 i Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007.
The Commission's assessment covers the three investment support mechanisms referred to in the opening decision, namely: (i) the Region's investment subsidy mechanism defined in successive decisions CR 34-94, CR 44-98 and CR 47-01; (ii) the mechanism which succeeded it with the introduction of Rider No 3 to the CT1; and, lastly, (iii) the C2 contribution under the CT2.
Tom je presudom Sud presudio da se Uredba (EEZ) br. 1191/69 primjenjuje za provjeru:
As regards the CT2, the Commission would point out that its scrutiny is limited to contribution C2 relating to investment problems.
zakonitosti potpora isplaćenih prije 3. prosinca 2009. jer je Uredba (EEZ) br. 1191/69 uredba o izuzeću kojom se isplaćene naknade izuzimaju iz obveze obavještavanja u skladu s njezinom odredbama;
The opening decision concerns only measures that could constitute a form of investment support, which de facto excludes the C1 contribution under the CT2.
zakonitost i spojivost naknada isplaćenih tijekom izvršavanja ugovora 3. prosinca 2009. koji su bili u tijeku i trajali u različitim razdobljima određenima člankom 8. stavkom 3.
Aid scheme or individual aid
Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007.
More than 100 undertakings or state-owned companies have, over the years, benefited from subsidies paid successively by the Region and then by STIF.
U skladu s presudom u predmetu Jorgen Andersen, koja je u ovom slučaju obvezujuća za Komisiju, Komisija bi trebala provjeriti naknade isplaćene prije 3. prosinca 2009. u okviru Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1191/69 uključujući i naknade isplaćene u obliku cijene u okviru programa ugovora o obavljanju javne usluge.
