The unemployment rate in Greece was 24,9 % on average, reaching in certain regions up to 30,7 %, compared to an EU28 average of 9,4 %.The Greek State has virtually no access to capital markets and its public finances are still dependent on the Eurogroup and other international creditors releasing new tranches of planned loans, which are still being discussed.
Krajem 2005. procijenjena vrijednost najma ureda iznosila je [10–20] EUR po m2.
Therefore, Greece's economy remains still highly vulnerable to uncertainties and shocks in June 2017.
Zgrada u kojoj se nalaze uredi za najam izgrađena je 1972. i ne ispunjava standarde moderne uredske infrastrukture, s obzirom na to da nema otvorenih prostora i ima vrlo visok postotak (30 %) zajedničkih prostorija.
As the Commission noted in its decision of 20 December 2011 applying Article 107(3)(b) of the Treaty to measures addressing the situation in Greece, the scale and duration of the economic contraction which Greece is experiencing goes well beyond the challenges experienced by Member States' economies in the context of the standard business cycle, in which economic slowdowns must be accepted as a part of the normal pattern of growth and development.
Sama je zgrada u osrednjem stanju, dok se tijekom posljednjih godina stanje njezina okruženja pogoršalo, među ostalim i s obzirom na povećanje kriminalne aktivnosti.
The exceptional effects of the crisis and the ability of State aid granted to providers of energy services holding important positions on the Greek market to remedy or address its effects was also recognised by the Commission in 2013 and 2014.
Komisija prima na znanje da se u vrijeme sklapanja sporazuma o razini usluge najma ureda potražnja za najmom uredskih prostora smanjila za do 30 % od kraja 2005. do veljače 2011. zbog pojave ekonomske krize, što je dovelo do smanjenja najamnina.
Moreover, the Commission views indeed the prolongation until 30 June 2017 of State aid support provided to the Greek financial sector as necessary to remedy a serious disturbance of the Greek economy, in application of Article 107(3)(b) of the Treaty.
To potvrđuje izvješće o tržištu koje je izradio privatni neovisni procjenitelj, Eurobank Properties Services, u kojem su najamnine na tržištu za zgrade sličnih značajki u području gdje se uredi nalaze određene na iznos od 11 EUR do 14 EUR po m2 za srpanj 2010., što je smanjenje od 20 % u odnosu na 2009.
Those conclusions regarding the situation of the Greek economy since December 2011 remain still valid for the purposes of the application of State aid rules.
Osim plaćanja osnovne najamnine TRAINOSE je bio obvezan pokrivati sve troškove koji se odnose na urede, kao što su održavanje, električna energija, porezi i pristojbe itd.
The Commission agrees with Greece that this situation has had an impact on the Greek railway sector, causing a number of disturbances, such as a decrease in demand for rail transport services for both passengers and freight due to the closure of certain undertakings, the inability of certain businesses to pay their bills (e.g. the Hellenic Sugar Industry or ‘HSI’) and reductions in the economic activity in certain areas, as well as the possible liquidation of TRAINOSE.
Na temelju navedenih razmatranja Komisija smatra da je sporazum o razini usluge najma ureda sklopljen u skladu s tržišnim uvjetima i da zbog toga njime ne nastaje nikakva neopravdana prednost za TRAINOSE.
The Commission observes that between 2008 and 2012 the served passenger-kilometres decreased by 49 % and the freight tonne-kilometres dropped by 64 %.
Komisija primjećuje da su naknade za zakup autobusa i drugih vozila utvrđene u odgovarajućem sporazumu o razini usluge temeljene na tržišnoj vrijednosti svakog pojedinog vozila 1. siječnja 2001. prilagođenoj za godišnju amortizaciju.
Disturbance in TRAINOSE's operations would create a heavy burden on the public transportation network in general and on the urban network of Athens (used by 8 million passengers per year), Thessaloniki and Patras, in particular.
Tržišnu vrijednost vozila i godišnju amortizaciju procijenili su dobavljači tih vozila.
The significance of TRAINOSE as the sole provider of passenger and railway freight services in Greece was illustrated at the peak of the refugee crisis when certain train routes were partially closed or traffic reduced.
Na temelju navedenoga Komisija smatra da je sporazum o razini usluge najma autobusa sklopljen u skladu s tržišnim uvjetima i da zbog toga njime ne nastaje neopravdana gospodarska prednost za TRAINOSE.
When the Idomeni border was open, around eight freight trains ran daily back and forward to central Europe.
S obzirom na prethodno navedeno Komisija zaključuje da sporazumima o razini usluge nije nastala neopravdana gospodarska prednost za TRAINOSE.
After the closure of the border, this was cut to just four trains run along a longer route through neighbouring Bulgaria, meaning higher transport costs for Greek importers and exporters.
S obzirom na činjenicu da su potrebni uvjeti kojima se određuje postojanje državne potpore u smislu članka 107. stavka 1.
A train pulling 34 cars would normally cost up to EUR 50000 to transport a cargo to Central Europe in two to three days.
Ugovora kumulativni, izostanak jednog od njih odlučujući je.
But the longer route caused delays of up to 12 days, which increased the cost by almost 20 %.
Stoga nema potrebe da se procjenjuje ispunjava li mjera 5. ostale uvjete iz članka 107. stavka 1.
The direct extra costs for an exporters association in northern Greece, representing some 500 small businesses, have amounted to about EUR 5 million and have stunted efforts to restart the economy after six years of recession.
Ugovora.
It is essential for this purpose to ensure smooth transition to achieve the strategic aim of the upcoming sale of 100 % of share capital of TRAINOSE to the investor which must be seen as a milestone in implementing the programme agreed with the Eurogroup.
Stoga Komisija zaključuje da mjera 5. ne čini državnu potporu u smislu članka 107. stavka 1.
The position of TRAINOSE in the economy of Greece
Ugovora.
As a result of the deep and prolonged economic crisis, TRAINOSE has suffered an unprecedented decrease of operating revenues and mounting debt, which is apparent in Table 1.
Zakonitost potpore
Furthermore, a combination of unprecedented and extraordinary conditions has led to overdue payables in the Greek rail transport system, to overstaffing and to a backlog in investments in infrastructure, having also negative effects on OSE and putting at risk the connectivity of the rail transport network in Greece.
U skladu s člankom 108. stavkom 3.
The support provided by the measures subject to the present decision granted or planned to be granted to TRAINOSE as well as to OSE allowed them to maintain the Greek rail infrastructure network and to improve the underdeveloped infrastructure (such as to electrify the Athens-Tithorea line) as well as to continue providing passenger and freight transport services through the 2554 km long urban and suburban railway network which runs from the South to the North of Greece passing through and servicing its largest cities and ports.
Ugovora države članice moraju obavijestiti Komisiju o svim planovima za dodjelu ili izmjenu potpora i ne smiju primijeniti predložene mjere dok se postupak predviđen člankom 108. stavkom 2.
(21 7) The Commission observes that TRAINOSE runs approximately 300 passenger services per day and that approximately 16 million passengers use TRAINOSE's services per annum.
Ugovora ne okonča konačnom odlukom.
Any cease/disruption of TRAINOSE's operations would necessarily deprive passengers of essential public routes, both urban and suburban.
Komisija primjećuje da mjera 1. još nije provedena i da njezina provedba podliježe ovoj odluci.
In that case, a possible emergency continuity of PSO would be the only option.
Budući da mjera 1. još nije provedena, Komisija smatra da je Grčka poštovala obvezu obavješćivanja iz članka 108. stavka 3.
Also, any disruption of the rail transport services would create a heavy burden on the overall public transportation network, primarily in the urban network of Athens (used by 8 million passengers per year), Thessaloniki and Patras.
Ugovora.
Specific high traffic urban routes are exclusively serviced by TRAINOSE and thus such an event would not only deteriorate traffic conditions in urban areas but also force passengers to use other more expensive and polluting means of transportation, mostly in suburban routes, leading to an increase of passengers' costs of commuting.
Mjere 2., 3. i 4. stoga čine nezakonitu državnu potporu.
Moreover, the operation of TRAINOSE is also crucial for tourism, which plays an important role in the Greek economy (~ 8 % direct contribution to the GDP).
Budući da mjere 1., 2., 3. i 4. čine državnu potporu u smislu članka 107. stavka 1.
Furthermore, more than 300 million tonnes of freight is transported by TRAINOSE annually, out of which approximately 83 % is export freight, thereby contributing to exports by Greek companies.
Ugovora, Komisija mora procijeniti može li se ta potpora smatrati spojivom s unutarnjim tržištem.
TRAINOSE connects the ports of Piraeus and Thessaloniki.
S obzirom na vrlo specifične okolnosti ovog predmeta i grčkog gospodarstva Grčka je tvrdila da se predmetna potpora može smatrati spojivom s unutarnjim tržištem u skladu s člankom 107. stavkom 3. točkom (b) Ugovora jer je njezina svrha otklanjanje ozbiljnih poremećaja u gospodarstvu neke države članice.
Furthermore, certain products due to their size and tonnage can only be transported by rail and the interruption of rail transport services would have serious consequences in the supply chain in Greece, affecting companies such as HSI SA and VIOHALKO SA, and also the ports of Piraeus and Thessaloniki.
U skladu s člankom 107. stavkom 3. točkom (b) Ugovora „Sljedeće se vrste potpora mogu smatrati spojivima s unutarnjim tržištem: […] potpore […] za otklanjanje ozbiljnih poremećaja u gospodarstvu neke države članice; […]”.
Furthermore, TRAINOSE provides transport for the Greek Armed Forces and plays an important role for mass mobilisation of the Greek Armed Forces in the event of a crisis.
Kao i za svako odstupanje od zabrane državnih potpora sadržane u članku 107. stavku 1.
TRAINOSE has 655 full time employees, possessing significant accumulated rail experience and expertise in the railway sector.
Ugovora, ta se odredba mora restriktivno tumačiti i primjenjivati.
It is a very important direct and indirect employer in Greece, where over 99 % of companies are SMEs.
Takva stroga primjena zahtijeva da se, među ostalim, u obzir uzmu posebno priroda i objektivna ozbiljnost poremećaja u gospodarstvu predmetne države članice s jedne strane te primjerenost, nužnost i proporcionalnost potpore za otklanjanje tih poremećaja s druge strane, istodobno uzimajući u obzir moguću sistemsku važnost i položaj korisnika i predmetnog sektora te izbjegavanje neopravdanih negativnih učinaka na tržišno natjecanje i trgovinu među državama članicama.
Unemployment rates are at historical highs and represent the most challenging variable to solve.
Gospodarska situacija u Grčkoj
In Greece SMEs face abnormal risks of economic volatility as a result of the unstable economic environment of the country and, in particular, the effect that has on access to finance, which is crucial for SMEs.
Gospodarska situacija u Grčkoj objektivno je obilježena dosad neviđenom dubokom i dugotrajnom krizom.
There was no reasonable prospect of TRAINOSE managing to come out of the financial distress in which it found itself and which has continuously worsened since 2008.
Grčka je 2016. proživjela devetu godinu recesije zaredom.
The liquidation of TRAINOSE would be an inevitable consequence of not approving the aid subject to this decision.
Recesija je bila posebno duboka 2009., 2010., 2011. i 2012. (smanjenje stvarnog BDP-a za 3,1 %, 4,9 %, 7,1 % odnosno 6 %).
Its liquidation would not only affect TRAINOSE, but would also have negative effects on its suppliers.
U razdoblju od 2008. do 2016.
EESSTY, the rolling stock maintenance provider, would face significant difficulties and would most probably go out of business.
BDP se smanjio za više od 25 %.
EESSTY currently employs 416 employees and approximately 100 % of its annual revenues is generated by its business relation with TRAINOSE.
Očekivalo se da će bruto javni dug Grčke 2016. dosegnuti najvišu vrijednost od 179,7 % njezina BDP-a.
Given the fact that TRAINOSE is the sole rail operator and that OSE is the sole rail infrastructure manager, the risk of discontinuation which could ensue from TRAINOSE not being able to continue providing rail transport services would in turn put at risk the continuity of the supply of rail transport services for passengers and freight in Greece and, in turn, OSE's ability to maintain the rail infrastructure.
Stopa nezaposlenosti u Grčkoj u prosjeku je iznosila 24,9 % te je u određenim regijama dosezala 30,7 %, u odnosu na prosjek od 9,4 % u državama EU28.
OSE employs 1595 people (1396 employees at OSE and another 199 at ERGOSE, a subsidiary of OSE responsible for the development and upgrade of railway infrastructure), while track access charges collected from TRAINOSE in 2015 accounted for 86 % of OSE's annual track access revenues for that year.
Grčka gotovo nema pristup tržištima kapitala i njezine javne financije i dalje ovise o tome hoće li Euroskupina i drugi međunarodni vjerovnici izdati nove tranše planiranih zajmova, o čemu se i dalje raspravlja.
Additionally, GAIAOSE, the manager of rolling stock and real estate assets, and a number of other private businesses, such as service providers and contractors for cleaning, catering and ticketing services, freight forwarders, etc., would also be negatively affected.
Zbog toga je grčko gospodarstvo u lipnju 2017. i dalje vrlo osjetljivo na nesigurnosti i šokove.
The Commission considers that the aid thus addresses a specific risk for the Greek railway system, and the dramatic consequences of discontinuation of the supply of rail transport services for the Greek economy and the population, beyond the situation of and benefits to TRAINOSE.
Kako je Komisija navela u svojoj odluci od 20. prosinca 2011. u kojoj je primijenila članak 107. stavak 3. točku (b) Ugovora na mjere za rješavanje situacije u Grčkoj, razmjer i trajanje gospodarskog pada koji Grčka proživljava daleko su veći od izazova s kojima su se gospodarstva država članica suočavala u kontekstu standardnog poslovnog ciklusa u kojem se usporavanje gospodarskog rasta mora prihvatiti kao dio uobičajenog obrasca rasta i razvoja.
In light of these extraordinary and specific circumstances which the Greek railway sector, being unequalled sector of the Greek economy as explained in the paragraph 230 below, is facing, the State aid to TRAINOSE is found to have the legitimate aim of remedying a serious disturbance of the Greek economy.
Komisija je isto tako 2013. i 2014. priznala iznimne učinke krize i mogućnost da se ti učinci ublaže ili uklone državnom potporom dodijeljenom pružateljima energetskih usluga koji se nalaze na važnim položajima na grčkom tržištu.
It is therefore necessary to verify the adequacy, necessity and proportionality of the aid to address that serious disturbance, as well as its impact on competition and trade between Member States.
Osim toga, Komisija produljenje državne potpore grčkom financijskom sektoru do 30. lipnja 2017. doista smatra nužnim za otklanjanje ozbiljnih poremećaja u grčkom gospodarstvu na temelju primjene članka 107. stavka 3. točke (b) Ugovora.
The Commission recalls that the exceptional economic crisis the Greek economy is facing, as explained in the Section 7.3.1, in combination with the railway sector's vital role to the Greek economy, justifies the exceptional use of Article 107(3)(b) of the Treaty
Ti zaključci u pogledu stanja grčkog gospodarstva od prosinca 2011. i dalje su valjani za potrebe primjene pravila o državnim potporama.
Appropriateness, necessity and proportionality of the aid and avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States
Komisija se slaže s Grčkom da je ta situacija utjecala na grčki željeznički sektor i prouzročila niz poremećaja, kao što su smanjena potražnja za uslugama željezničkog prijevoza putnika i tereta zbog zatvaranja određenih poduzetnika, nemogućnost određenih poduzeća da plate svoje račune (npr. društvo Hellenic Sugar Industry ili „HSI”) i smanjena gospodarska aktivnost u određenim područjima, kao i moguća likvidacija TRAINOSE-a.
Greece reiterated that the aid measures in favour of TRAINOSE are adequate, necessary and proportional, and will have no undue negative impact on competition and trade as regards the service and geographic markets on which TRAINOSE is and shall be active.
Komisija primjećuje da se od 2008. do 2012. broj ostvarenih putničkih kilometara smanjio za 49 % te da se broj tonskih kilometara za teret smanjio za 64 %.
Appropriateness of the aid measure
Prekid poslovanja TRAINOSE-a stvorio bi veliko opterećenje za mrežu javnog prijevoza općenito, a posebno za gradsku mrežu Atene (koju godišnje upotrebljava 8 milijuna putnika), Soluna i Patrasa.
As regards the appropriateness of the aid to TRAINOSE to remedy a disturbance of a whole economy, the Commission notes that this is justified due to the particularities of the Greek rail transport sector.
Važnost TRAINOSE-a kao jedinog pružatelja usluga željezničkog prijevoza putnika i tereta u Grčkoj dokazana je na vrhuncu izbjegličke krize kad su određene željezničke rute dijelom zatvorene ili je promet na njima smanjen.
First, the railway sector in Greece is unique and not comparable with other industry sectors.
Dok je granica u Idomeniju bila otvorena, dnevno je oko osam teretnih vlakova prolazilo kroz nju iz srednje Europe i natrag.
TRAINOSE accounts de facto for the whole economic sector of rail transport for freight and passengers.
Nakon zatvaranja granice ta je brojka smanjena na samo četiri vlaka koja su vozila dužom rutom kroz susjednu Bugarsku, što je značilo veće troškove prijevoza za grčke uvoznike i izvoznike.
Second, transport by rail is vital for the functioning of other industry sectors which depend on the transport of goods and persons from one place to another at any given time.
Za prijenos tereta u srednju Europu u roku od dva do tri dana vlakom sa 34 vagona obično bi trebalo platiti do 50000 EUR.
Therefore, the rail transport services have a strong potential for triggering detrimental knock-on effects on the entire economy, if a service is not provided.
Međutim, duža je ruta prouzročila kašnjenja u trajanju do 12 dana, što je povećalo troškove za gotovo 20 %.
No other industry sector has such a vital role when assessing the dependence of the other market economy actors on the services it provides.
Izravni dodatni troškovi za udruženje izvoznika na sjeveru Grčke koje zastupa oko 500 malih poduzetnika iznosili su oko 5 milijuna EUR i usporili su nastojanja da se gospodarstvo ponovno pokrene nakon šest godina recesije.
In view of the ongoing negotiations taking place between Greece and its creditors on the main outstanding issues that need to be solved in order to reach an agreement on the overall policy package which would allow the second review of the Greece`s economic adjustment programme to be completed, a particular attention is needed to provide clarity for the planned sale of TRAINOSE.
U tu je svrhu ključno osigurati neometan prijelaz kako bi se ostvario strateški cilj buduće prodaje 100 % temeljnog kapitala TRAINOSE-a ulagatelju, koja se mora smatrati ključnom točkom u provedbi programa dogovorenog s Euroskupinom.
Therefore, the aid is appropriate to address a specific risk for the railway system and averts discontinuation of provision of rail services to the Greek economy and the population, beyond the situation of and benefits to TRAINOSE.
TRAINOSE-ov položaj u gospodarstvu Grčke
In light of the extraordinary and specific circumstances which the Greek railway sector is facing, the Commission considers that the aid to TRAINOSE is appropriate to remedy a serious disturbance of the Greek economy.
Uslijed duboke i dugotrajne ekonomske krize TRAINOSE je doživio dotad nezabilježeno smanjenje prihoda od poslovanja i povećanje duga, što je vidljivo iz tablice 1.
This aid will be sufficient for the companies to return to viability or at last carry out their tasks reliably.
Nadalje, kombinacija dotad nezabilježenih i izvanrednih uvjeta dovela je do neispunjenja dospjelih obveza u grčkom sustavu željezničkog prijevoza, prevelikog broja zaposlenika, zaostataka u ulaganjima, što je negativno utjecalo i na OSE i ugrozilo povezanost grčke mreže željezničkog prijevoza.
Necessity and proportionality of the aid
Potpora koja je osigurana mjerama na koje se ova Odluka odnosi i koja je dodijeljena ili se namjerava dodijeliti TRAINOSE-u i OSE-u omogućila im je da održe mrežu grčke željezničke infrastrukture i poboljšaju nedovoljno razvijenu infrastrukturu (na primjer uvođenjem električnog napajanja u prugu Atena–Titoreja) kao i da nastave pružati usluge prijevoza putnika i tereta u gradskoj i prigradskoj željezničkoj mreži dugoj 2554 km koja se proteže od juga do sjevera Grčke te prolazi kroz njezine najveće gradove i luke, u kojima obavlja djelatnost.
The support is limited in time as it consists mainly of one-off well circumscribed aid that was or will be primarily provided through a write-off of TRAINOSE's liabilities towards OSE, a capital increase of EUR 60 million in 2009, direct grants of EUR 50 million for the period 2011-2013 and a transfer of employees of TRAINOSE to other public employers.
Komisija primjećuje da TRAINOSE pruža približno 300 usluga prijevoza putnika dnevno i da se godišnje oko 16 milijuna putnika služi TRAINOSE-ovim uslugama.
Without those measures totalling EUR 1,02 billion, TRAINOSE would go out of business causing serious disturbances and systemic implications for other Greek undertakings dependent on the transport services provided by TRAINOSE.
Svaki prestanak/prekid poslovanja TRAINOSE-a putnicima bi nužno uskratio pristup ključnim gradskim i prigradskim javnim rutama.
Moreover, TRAINOSE will be fully privatised, which should allow the new ownership to reorient, to the extent necessary, the operations of the company to become more competitive once the problems on the railway market caused by the economic crisis in Greece are solved.
U tom bi slučaju jedina mogućnost bio izvanredni nastavak obveze pružanja javne usluge.
The alleviation of the financial burden of part of past liabilities is a pre-condition for the privatisation to happen.
Osim toga, bilo kakav prekid usluga željezničkog prijevoza stvorio bi veliko opterećenje za ukupnu mrežu javnog prijevoza, posebno u gradskoj mreži Atene (koju godišnje upotrebljava 8 milijuna putnika), Soluna i Patrasa.
As far as the annual grants are concerned, the amounts appear to be proportionate since the grants are compensatory in nature and have furthermore been determined in agreement with the Troika.
Određenim gradskim rutama s velikom količinom prometa prometuje isključivo TRAINOSE te bi se zbog takvog prekida ne samo pogoršali uvjeti prometa u gradskim područjima, nego bi se putnike prisililo da upotrebljavaju druge, skuplje oblike prijevoza koji više onečišćuju okoliš, i to uglavnom na prigradskim rutama, što bi dovelo do poskupljenja prijevoza putnika na posao i s posla.
They have served to only partly cover operating losses incurred between 2008 and 2011 (see Table 1) and, therefore, have not provided TRAINOSE with additional resources which the company could have used to invest and/or expand its activities on other geographic or service markets.
Osim toga, poslovanje TRAINOSE-a ključno je i za turizam, koji ima važnu ulogu u grčkom gospodarstvu (~ 8 % izravnog doprinosa BDP-u).
The same is true mutatis mutandis as far as the capital increase of EUR 60 million in 2009 and the planned write-off of liabilities towards OSE are concerned.
Nadalje, TRAINOSE godišnje preveze više od 300 milijuna tona tereta, od čega približno 83 % tereta za izvoz, čime se pridonosi izvozu grčkih društava.
