When adopting the measures in question, RAS acted as a prudent market investor, given that its decisions to activate the two routes in question were based on business plans prepared ex-ante.
U svakom slučaju, ta nova Konvencija dopušta reviziju cijena kako bi se u obzir uzeo rast troškova (posebno troškova brodskog goriva) te stoga ne bi jamčila cjenovnu prihvatljivost usluga stanovnicima Sardinije.
Notably:
Prema navodima RAS-a probno prometovanje na dvjema linijama do kopna nedvojbeno je obustavljeno u rujnu 2012.
in March/April 2011, when RAS decided that Saremar would start serving new routes to the mainland, it only considered routes which could be operated on economic balance;
RAS potom izlaže strukturirani projekt za prometovanje na linijama do kopna koji je prijavljen Komisiji, naime projekt Flotta Sarda.
by Decision 36/6/EC, RAS decided that Saremar was to verify, on the basis of a business plan, the viability of operation for the period 30 September 2011 to 30 September 2012, of at least one additional route among Olbia – Livorno, Porto Torres — Livorno and Cagliari – Piombino.
Flotta Sarda primat će godišnju naknadu za pokrivanje troškova pružanja javne usluge.
The decision not to start serving new routes, but rather to resume operation in the 2012 summer season of the two routes already operated by Saremar in 2011, was equally based on profitability grounds;
Doista, u ovom predmetu, kada je RAS odlučio dati uputu Saremaru da uspostavi veze s kopnom, nije smatrao da će obavljanje takvih usluga rezultirati gubicima.
RAS's decision to contain operational losses by the interruption of the service on both routes at the end of the 2012 high season and to partly compensate operational losses was instrumental in ensuring that its business risk was reduced to a minimum.
Naknada se teoretski mogla pokazati nepotrebnom, međutim, nije bila isključena.
Second, RAS stressed that the four Altmark criteria have been observed in this case, for the grounds developed below.
Za predmetne javne usluge koje je obavljao Saremar vođene su zasebne knjige.
National authorities have a wide power of discretion as concerns the definition of SGEIs.
RAS je stajališta da je to dovoljno kako bi se osiguralo da se javna sredstva koriste samo kako bi se operatoru nadoknadio evidentirani deficit.
RAS has been granted competencies as concerns territorial continuity by Law 296 of 7 December 2006 and is therefore the best placed authority to define SGEIs as concerns links from Sardinia to mainland Italy.
RAS je stoga stajališta da Saremar nije primio prekomjernu naknadu.
On this basis, RAS underlines its interest in ensuring territorial continuity at affordable fares.
RAS smatra da je četvrti Altmark-kriterij ispunjen s obzirom da su plovila koja prometuju uzeta u zakup nakon ispitivanja tržišta, a troškovi brodskog goriva u skladu su s tržišnim cijenama.
The entrustment of the service to Saremar on a trial basis would have addressed general interest needs and would have been guided by urgency reasons.
Sve ostale komponente troškova (osiguranje, pomoćne usluge, lučke pristojbe) tržišno su utemeljene
As to the actual necessity of the imposition of PSOs, RAS first recalls the severe crisis of former parent company Tirrenia, which had traditionally operated links between Sardinia and mainland Italy.
PITANJA VEZANA UZ SPOJIVOST S UNUTARNJIM TRŽIŠTEM
Tirrenia's financial distress had allegedly resulted in extreme uncertainty as concerns the operation of the public service, at least until July 2012 when CIN signed the new Convention.
RAS napominje da to što se Saremar kvalificira kao interni operator sprječava primjenu uvjeta nediskriminacije utvrđenog Uredbom o pomorskoj kabotaži pa dodjela javne usluge Saremaru stoga ne predstavlja povredu Odluka o uslugama od općeg gospodarskog interesa iz 2005. i 2011.
RAS recalls that the sale of Tirrenia to CIN, in its original composition of shareholders, had been blocked by the Commission.
RAS objašnjava da je mjera u svim svojim bitnim elementima definirana već u travnju 2011.
Second, RAS submits that the increase in transport prices on the routes connecting Sardinia to the mainland in the following months seriously affected most users, and in particular the socially vulnerable part of the Sardinian community.
Sve potpore koje su provedene prije stupanja na snagu Odluke o uslugama od općeg gospodarskog interesa iz 2011. trebalo bi ocijeniti na temelju Odluke o uslugama od općeg gospodarskog interesa iz 2005.
It was on these grounds that, in April 2011, RAS decided to set up, on a trial basis, public transport services aiming to ensure territorial continuity with the mainland at affordable rates.
usluga je povjerena Saremaru na temelju transparentnih, nediskriminirajućih uvjeta u smislu Uredbe o pomorskoj kabotaži;
The private operators, although consulted on the issue, had according to RAS not shown any willingness to contain prices and rejected any form of erga omnes obligation on fares.
poštovane su gornje granice iz članka 2. stavka 1. točaka (a) i (c) Odluke o uslugama od općeg gospodarskog interesa iz 2005.: iznos subvencije je ispod 30 milijuna EUR, a na svakoj je liniji prevezeno manje od 300000 putnika;
The operation of the SGEI was entrusted to Saremar by means of several entrustment acts, which would clearly outline the public interest objective.
usluge su zakonito kvalificirane kao usluge od općeg gospodarskog interesa te povjerene Saremaru temeljem nekoliko akata o povjeravanju, u skladu s njezinim člankom 4.;
Saremar qualifies as in-house operator of RAS: it is directly controlled by RAS, which is its sole shareholder; it was statutorily entrusted with the operation of the links from Sardinia to the minor islands and Corsica on one hand, and to the mainland on the other; it does not dispose of any discretion as concerns the operation of the services entrusted to it, which are unilaterally determined by RAS; also, Saremar does not develop any activity contrary to the interest of RAS.
RAS smatra da bi ta mjera u svakom slučaju ispunjavala i uvjete iz Odluke o uslugama od općeg gospodarskog interesa iz 2011. s obzirom da je:
Consequently, RAS argues that, in accordance with public procurement rules, it did not need to tender out the provision of the service, but was free to directly award it to the internal operator.
poštovana druga gornja granica utvrđena u njezinom članku 2. stavku 1. točki (d)
As long as the compensation did not exceed the costs incurred in the operation of the service, State aid was not involved.
usluga je povjerena Saremaru nakon tehničkih konzultacija s privatnim operatorima.
In this sense, RAS recalls that Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council explicitly lays down that national authorities may entrust an internal operator/department with the provision of transport services, without tendering of a public service contract.
Nadalje, RAS je primio brojne pritužbe u vezi s uslugom koju su pružali privatni operatori;
Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council equally foresees the possibility for public authorities to take ‘emergency measures in case of interruption of the services or risk of interruption of the services’, which can take the form of the ‘direct award of a public service contract or the commonly agreed prolongation of a public service contract’.
naknada uzima u obzir neto troškove koje je operator imao prilikom obavljanja usluge;
According to RAS, this view was confirmed by the Commission in the framework of the infringement procedure concerning non-observance by Italy of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92 of 7 December 1992 applying the principle of freedom to provide services to maritime transport within Member States (maritime cabotage) (hereinafter the Maritime Cabotage Regulation), in which context the Commission stated that ‘were the regions to operate the service in-house within the meaning of the ANAV case law (C-410/04) with the observance of all relevant requirements, the Maritime Cabotage Regulation would be considered complied with’.
poštovani su zahtjevi glede transparentnosti s obzirom da su objavljene Regionalne odluke o tom predmetu.
RAS underlines that the selection of the routes to be operated by Saremar was made on the basis of a feasibility study which took due account of the need to guarantee territorial continuity and ensure economic viability of the activity.
Naposljetku, RAS je stajališta da se ne može smatrati da mjera narušava tržišno natjecanje u mjeri u kojoj bi bila suprotna interesima Unije, s obzirom da joj je cilj osigurati teritorijalni kontinuitet te da je ograničena na deficit nastao prilikom pružanja usluge od općega gospodarskog interesa.
As recalled by subsequent Decisions 25/69/EC and 27/4/EC, it was on the basis of this study and the market information gathered by Saremar that the Civitavecchia — Golfo Aranci and Vado Ligure — Porto Torres routes have been activated for the high season, namely from 15 June to 15 September 2011 and from 22 June to 15 September 2012 respectively.
Prema stajalištu RAS-a subvencija za promidžbene aktivnosti odgovara uslugama koje je Saremar u stvarnosti obavio te stoga tom poduzeću ne daje nikakvu neprimjerenu gospodarsku prednost.
RAS also recalls that the operation of the Genova — Porto Torres and Civitavecchia — Olbia routes in the summer season falls outside the scope of the new Convention concluded by the Italian State with CIN and is therefore not subject to PSOs to guarantee affordability of the services.
RAS smatra da, prilikom ocjene usklađenosti cijene s tržišnim uvjetima, u obzir treba uzeti činjenicu da predmetne promidžbene aktivnosti nisu bile ograničene na visoku sezonu u 2011. kako je prvotno predviđeno, nego su na kraju proširene i na 2012.
At any rate, that new Convention allows for the revision of the prices to account for increases in costs (in particular bunker costs), and would not therefore guarantee the affordability of the services to Sardinian residents.
Kasnije tijekom postupka, 28. lipnja 2013., RAS je Komisiji dostavio stručno mišljenje kako bi opravdao cijenu promidžbenih aktivnosti.
According to RAS, trial operation of the two routes to the mainland was definitely terminated in September 2012.
Stručnjak je zaključio da bi se tržišna cijena promidžbenih aktivnosti koje je 2011. i 2012. obavio Saremar kretala u rasponu od 2458168 EUR i 2609631 EUR (bez PDV-a).
RAS then elaborated a structured project for operation of links to the mainland, which was pre-notified to the Commission, namely the Flotta Sarda project.
RAS stoga smatra da je cijena koju je platio Saremaru bila opravdana.
A new company, Flotta Sarda S.p.A.
Referentna točka tržišnih troškova utvrđena je tako što su u obzir uzeti prosječni troškovi po kvadratnom metru koji su procijenjeni na temelju parametara kao što su trajanje (uzeti su u obzir određeni popusti za nastavak promidžbene kampanje u 2012.), vrsta oglašavanja (unutarnje ili vanjsko) i lokacija (važniji gradovi, značajniji priljev stanovništva, područja s izrazitom mobilnošću).
(Flotta Sarda), entirely held and financed by RAS, will be set up, to be entrusted with the provision under a public service regime of maritime transport services on four routes connecting Sardinia to mainland Italy.
RAS navodi da, ako cijenu plaćenu Saremaru za promidžbene aktivnosti treba smatrati prekomjernom, prednost koja je dana poduzeću bila bi ograničena na razliku između stvarno plaćene cijene i tržišne vrijednosti usluga.
Flotta Sarda will receive annual compensation to cover public service costs.
Naposljetku, RAS smatra da bi spojivost s unutarnjim tržištem bilo koje takve potpore trebala biti procijenjena na temelju članka 106. stavka 2.
The fact that the Regional Decisions instructing Saremar to start operation of the routes in question do not provide for its right to compensation does not affect observance of the second Altmark criterion.
UFEU-a.
Public authorities need not define ex-ante the precise amount of compensation to be granted for the operation of public services.
Saremar, međutim, nije aktivirao tu kreditnu liniju, rezultat čega je bilo to da je pismo podrške iz srpnja 2011. izdano u skladu s Odlukom 23/2 isteklo 30. studenog 2011.
Rather, it is sufficient that they identify beforehand the means of calculation of eligible costs, to the extent that these costs are directly attributable to the discharge of the SGEIs.
S obzirom da pismo podrške nije bilo vezano niti uz jednu financijsku obavezu poduzeća, ne može ga se smatrati jamstvom.
Indeed, in the present case, when RAS decided to instruct Saremar to set up connections to the mainland, it had considered that the operation of such services would not result in losses.
Drugo pismo podrške koje je odobreno Odlukom 52/119 nije izdano, pa stoga RAS nije preuzeo nikakvu obvezu u korist Saremara.
RAS points out that since the operation of the services in question was subject to separate accounting, the net costs incurred in the provision of the public service, could be easily identified.
Kako se napominje u Odluci 12/15 kredit ugovoren s bankom MPS Saremar je zatražio i dobio bez jamstva RAS-a.
Saremar operated the public services in question under separate accounting.
Iznos od 11,5 milijuna EUR utvrđen Odlukom 36/6 odgovara potraživanju od poduzeća Tirrenija u stečajnom postupku.
RAS takes the view that this is sufficient to ensure that the public resources were used only to compensate the operator for the deficit registered.
Taj se iznos, međutim, odnosi na financijske operacije u okviru Tirrenia Grupe koje datiraju u razdoblje prije 2009.
In RAS's view, Saremar was therefore not overcompensated.
Taj bi iznos stoga već bio odobren 2004. kada je Komisija donijela svoju konačnu odluku o inicijalnim Konvencijama sve do kraja 2008.
RAS defends that the fourth Altmark condition is fulfilled given that the vessels employed on the routes had been leased following a market consultation and bunker costs observe market rates.
Do današnjeg dana dokapitalizacije je provedena samo djelomično.
ISSUES REGARDING COMPATIBILITY
RAS je 11. srpnja 2012. povećao kapital Saremara za samo 824309,6 EUR.
RAS submits that Saremar's qualification as internal operator precludes application of the non-discrimination condition laid down by the Maritime Cabotage Regulation and the award of the public service to Saremar does not therefore infringe the 2005 nor the 2011 SGEI Decisions.
RAS je uvjetovao upisivanje preostalih 4066640,67 EUR poštivanjem klauzule mirovanja i prijavljivanjem operacije Komisiji.
RAS explains that the measure had been defined in all its essential elements already in April 2011.
RAS naglašava da je cilj dokapitalizacije bio isključivo nadoknada sredstava koji su u svakom slučaju već bili na raspolaganju Saremaru.
Any aid put into effect before the entry into force of the 2011 SGEI Decision should be assessed on the basis of the 2005 SGEI Decision.
Ova mjera ne uključuje prijenos novih javnih sredstava te stoga ne predstavlja državnu potporu.
RAS assumes that the compatibility conditions laid down therein are complied with.
Trebalo bi smatrati da ova mjera poštuje načelo ulagača u tržišnom gospodarstvu s obzirom da je utemeljena na poslovnom planu definiranom ex ante, a cilj joj je najučinkovitije iskoristiti prihod od prodaje poduzeća u pogledu pouzdanih perspektiva održivosti.
In particular:
Naposljetku, RAS naglašava da su privatni operatori, posebice GNV i Moby, imali koristi od povećanja kapitala tako što su nadoknadili operativne gubitke.
the service was entrusted to Saremar on the basis of transparent, non-discriminatory conditions within the meaning of the Maritime Cabotage Regulation;
Neke su se od tih operacija po svoj prilici odvijale istodobno s mjerom koju je RAS poduzeo u korist Saremara.
the ceilings in Article 2(1)(a) and (c) of the 2005 SGEI Decision are observed: the subsidy is below EUR 30 million and less than 300000 passengers were carried on each route;
PRIMJEDBE ZAINTERESIRANIH STRANA
the services have lawfully been qualified as SGEIs and entrusted to Saremar by means of several entrustment acts, in accordance with Article 4 thereof;
Moby smatra da je Saremar tijekom 2011. i 2012. mogao prometovati na dvjema linijama prema kopnu po cijenama nižim od troškova samo zbog subvencije koju mu je dodijelio RAS.
the compensation granted to Saremar for the operation of the routes to the mainland does not exceed what is necessary to cover costs incurred in the operation of the services, in line with Article 6 thereof.
Moby tvrdi da je zbog pretjerano niskih cijena koje je Saremar naplaćivao, struktura tržišta znatno izmijenjena.
RAS submits that the measure would, in any event, also comply with the 2011 SGEI Decision, given that:
Privatni operatori aktivni na predmetnim linijama do 2011., kao što su GNV ili Forship (Sardinia Ferries), nisu imali drugog izbora nago napustiti to tržište.
the second ceiling laid down by Article 2(1)(d) thereof is observed;
Prema mišljenju Mobyja mjera se ne može opravdati razlozima od javnog interesa iz najmanje dva razloga.
the service was entrusted to Saremar following technical discussions with private operators.
Prvo, Italija je u obzir uzela sve zakonite interese javnih usluga kada je 18. srpnja 2012. sklopila novu Konvenciju s CIN-om koja je uključivala ispunjavanje obveze javne usluge na linijama između Sardinije i kopna Italije.
Furthermore, RAS had received numerous complaints regarding the service provided by private operators;
Novom Konvencijom utvrđena je obveza obavljanja javne usluge u pogledu prometovanja na linijama Genova – Porto Torres i Civitavecchia – Olbia tijekom razdoblja niske sezone (tijekom čitave godine, osim u razdoblju od lipnja do rujna) najmanje s dnevnom frekvencijom.
the compensation takes into account the net costs the operator incurred in the operation of the service;
Drugo, mjera ne sadrži stvarni interes za javne usluge, s obzirom da su dvije predmetne linije po svojoj prirodi komercijalne.
transparency requirements have been observed given that the Regional Decisions on the matter were published.
Saremar je na tim linijama prometovao ne samo u razdoblju niske sezone, nego i u razdobljima visoke sezone u 2011. i 2012. kada je na tržištu bilo prisutno nekoliko drugih operatora.
Ultimately, RAS submits that the measure cannot be held to distort competition to an extent contrary to Union interest, given that it aims to ensure territorial continuity and is limited to the deficit incurred in the operation of SGEIs.
Predmetne su linije isključene iz područja primjene nove Konvencije upravo zbog njihove komercijalne prirode tijekom ljetne sezone
According to RAS, the subsidy for promotional activities corresponds to the services effectively rendered by Saremar and does not therefore provide any undue economic advantage to the company.
Osim toga, akti o povjeravanju predmetne usluge ne definiraju izrijekom kao usluge od općeg gospodarskog interesa, a operatoru se ne dodjeljuje pravo na naknadu.
RAS holds that, when assessing the conformity of the price with market conditions, due account has to be taken of the fact that the promotional activities in question have not been limited to the 2011 high season as originally foreseen, but eventually extended to 2012.
Nadalje RAS je Saremaru pružanje tih usluga povjerio izravno, bez prethodnog postupka javnog natječaja.
The expert came to the conclusion that the market value of the promotional activities carried out by Saremar in 2011 and 2012 would range between EUR 2458168 and EUR 2609631 (VAT excluded).
Moby smatra da je subvencija u iznosu od 2479000 EUR (bez PDV-a) koja je dodijeljena Saremaru za promidžbene aktivnosti očito nesrazmjerna.
Hence, RAS considers that the price it paid to Saremar was justified.
Nadalje, trenutni predujam u iznosu od 80 % ne može se smatrati uobičajenom poslovnom praksom.
Market costs have been benchmarked against average advertising costs per square meter estimated based on parameters such as duration (certain discounts for the continuation of the advertising campaign in 2012 were taken into account), type of the advertising (internal or external) and location (main cities, important influx of population, mobility areas).
Na temelju bilance Saremara za 2011., Moby također tvrdi da je Agencija, osim iznosa od 3 milijuna EUR, Saremaru dodijelila i iznos od 1157000 EUR (bez PDV-a) kao povrat predujma koji je Saremar po svoj prilici isplatio u okviru projekta „Summer 2011 – Flotta Sarda campaign” (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 80.).
RAS submits that, were the price paid to Saremar for the promotional activities to be considered excessive, the advantage conferred on the company would be limited to the difference between the price actually paid and the market value of the services.
Moby smatra da i taj iznos predstavlja potporu Saremaru.
Finally, RAS considers that the compatibility of any such aid would have to be assessed on the basis of Article 106(2) TFEU.
Naposljetku, Agencija prethodno nije održala natječajni postupak za dodjelu usluga promidžbe.
RAS asserts that the EUR 3 million credit line obtained by Saremar did not involve any regional funds.
U pogledu drugog pisma podrške (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 87.), Moby podsjeća da je Odlukom 52/119 RAS potvrdio da je od banke MPS zatražen trenutni kredit za pokretanje usluge na liniji Civitavecchia – Olbia te da je banka zatražila jamstvo RAS-a.
It was granted to Saremar at market rates by BS bank, a private financial institution.
Činjenica da je pismo podrške službeno povučeno Odlukom 12/15 nevažna je u pogledu kvalifikacije mjere kao državne potpore s obzirom da ga je banka MPS izrijekom zatražila te je već proizvelo učinke.
However, the credit line has not been activated by Saremar, with the result that the letter of comfort of July 2011, issued in accordance with Decision 23/2/EC, expired on 30 November 2011.
Moby u potpunosti podupire preliminarno stajalište Komisije o dokapitalizaciji.
Given that the letter of comfort was not linked to any financial obligation of the company, it cannot be qualified as a guarantee.
Tvrdi da privatni ulagač nikada ne bi poduzeo tu istu investiciju s obzirom na tešku financijsku situaciju poduzeća i s obzirom da se u bliskoj budućnosti ne može očekivati povrat održivosti.
The second comfort letter, approved by Decision 52/119/EC, was not issued, and therefore no binding obligation in favour of Saremar was taken on by RAS.
Osim toga, dokapitalizacijom je djelotvorno olakšan pristup Saremara kreditu banke MPS pa je stoga imala učinke slične učincima jamstva, čime je Saremaru dodijeljena gospodarska prednost.
In fact, the financial transaction provided for by Decision 52/119/EC (EUR 5 million overdraft facility) has never been completed.
DRUGE MJERE
As recalled by Decision 12/15/EC, the loan contracted with the MPS bank has been requested and obtained by Saremar without being guaranteed by RAS.
Moby također navodi i dodatni iznos od 4 milijuna EUR koji je RAS dodijelio Saremaru u listopadu 2011.
RAS underlines that the recapitalisation bears no connection to the operation by Saremar of the two routes to mainland Italy.
Tim su iznosom po svoj prilici dopunjene državne subvencije zbog rasta operativnih troškova na linijama do malih otoka i Korzike na kojima je prometovao Saremar temeljem nove Konvencije koja je produljena.
The measure rather concerns the services operated by Saremar to minor islands and Corsica under the initial Convention, as prolonged.
Moby smatra da ta mjera predstavlja dodatnu potporu Saremaru koja prethodno nije bila prijavljena Komisiji.
The EUR 11,5 million laid down by Decision 36/6/EC corresponds to the claim filed against Tirrenia in insolvency proceedings.
Moby je stajališta da sve mjere koje se ocjenjuju predstavljaju nezakonitu i s unutarnjim tržištem nespojivu potporu Saremaru.
This amount however refers to financial operations within the Tirrenia Group dating back to before 2009.
OSTALE STRANE
This amount would have been therefore already authorised in 2004, when the Commission adopted its final decision on the initial Conventions up to end 2008.
Niti jedna druga strana nije podnijela primjedbe na mjere obuhvaćene ovom Odlukom u okviru proceduralnih rokova.
