DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURES
Dopisima od 22. travnja 2014. i 12. listopada 2016.
THE BENEFICIARY
Bugarska je povukla svoju prijavu potpore za restrukturiranje društvu BDZ Holding koja je bila dio mjera iz uvodne izjave 1.
The beneficiary of the measures is BDZ Holding and its subsidiaries, BDZ Passenger and BDZ Cargo, 100 % State-owned companies, providing passenger and freight rail transport services against remuneration in Bulgaria.
Dopisom od 5. travnja 2017.
BDZ Holding [4], a joint stock company, was created in 2001, when the Bulgarian National State Railways were split into a railway infrastructure company, National Railway Infrastructure Company ( ‘NRIC’) and a transport service provider (‘BDZ Holding’).
Bugarska je izmijenila svoju prijavu tako da je smanjila iznos duga koji je namjeravala brisati s pomoću mjere brisanja dugova koja je bila dio mjera iz uvodne izjave 1.
In 2007, BDZ Holding was reorganised into a holding structure and it set up three subsidiaries active in freight transport, passenger transport and traction services.
Dopisom od 7. studenoga 2016.
The parent company BDZ Holding owned passenger and freight wagons, and locomotives, which it leased to its subsidiaries.
Bugarska se složila da će ova Odluka iznimno biti donesena i prijavljena samo na engleskom jeziku.
The latter were responsible for the maintenance of the rolling stock.
OPIS MJERA
BDZ Holding was also responsible for servicing debts incurred prior to the reorganisation.
KORISNIK
As this structure turned out to be inefficient, in 2010, the traction services were merged into BDZ Holding.
Korisnik su mjera društvo BDZ Holding i njegova društva kćeri, BDZ Passenger i BDZ Cargo, koja su u 100-postotnom državnom vlasništvu te koja u Bugarskoj pružaju usluge željezničkog prijevoza putnika i tereta uz naknadu.
In 2011 the ownership of the passenger and cargo wagons and locomotives was transferred from BDZ Holding to the subsidiaries BDZ Passengers and BDZ Cargo.
Dioničko društvo BDZ Holding [4] osnovano je 2001., kada su Bugarske nacionalne državne željeznice podijeljene na društvo za željezničku infrastrukturu, Nacionalno društvo za željezničku infrastrukturu ( „NRIC”), i društvo za pružanje usluga prijevoza („BDZ Holding”).
BDZ Holding remained the owner of all non-operating assets.
Društvo BDZ Holding reorganizirano je 2007. u obliku holding društva te je osnovalo tri društva kćeri koja pružaju usluge prijevoza tereta i putnika te usluge vuče.
BDZ Holding has its registered office in Sofia, Bulgaria, and operates its freight and passenger services throughout the territory of Bulgaria, which is entirely eligible for regional aid pursuant to Article 107(3)(a) of the Treaty.
Putnički i teretni vagoni te lokomotive bili su u vlasništvu matičnog društva BDZ Holding koje ih je iznajmljivalo svojim društvima kćerima.
Bulgaria liberalised the freight rail market in 2007.
Društvo BDZ Holding bilo je odgovorno i za otplaćivanje dugova nastalih prije reorganizacije.
Since then, several private operators have entered the market.
Budući da se ta struktura pokazala neučinkovitom, usluge vuče pripojene su 2010. društvu BDZ Holding.
In 2016, BDZ Cargo's market share (in net-tonne kilometres) amounted to 43 % and its main competitors were Bulgarian Railway Company (25 %), DB Schenker Rail Bulgaria (18 %), Bulmarket (6 %) and Rail Cargo (4 %).
Vlasništvo nad putničkim i teretnim vagonima te lokomotivama preneseno je 2011. s društva BDZ Holding na društva kćeri BDZ Passenger i BDZ Cargo.
BDZ Passenger, a limited liability company, is the only provider of national passenger transport services in Bulgaria.
Društvo BDZ Holding ostalo je vlasnikom sve imovine koja nije namijenjena poslovanju.
BDZ Passenger discharges a public service obligation (‘PSO’) amounting to approximately 90 % of the passenger rail transport market.
Društvo BDZ Holding ima registrirano sjedište u Sofiji u Bugarskoj i pruža svoje usluge prijevoza tereta i putnika na cijelom državnom području Bugarske koje je u cijelosti prihvatljivo za regionalnu potporu u skladu s člankom 107. stavkom 3. točkom (a) Ugovora.
BDZ Passenger's PSO Contract was signed in 2009 with duration of 15 years (2010-2025).
Društvo BDZ Cargo, koje je društvo s ograničenom odgovornošću, posluje na međunarodnom i nacionalnom tržištu željezničkog prijevoza tereta.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURES AND GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE PROCEDURE
Tržišni udio društva BDZ Cargo iznosio je 2016. godine 43 % (u neto tonskim kilometrima), a glavni su mu konkurenti bili društva Bugarsko željezničko društvo (25 %), DB Schenker Rail Bulgaria (18 %), Bulmarket (6 %) i Rail Cargo (4 %).
In the Opening Decision, the Commission identified four measures as potentially constituting State aid to BDZ Holding and its subsidiaries, BDZ Passenger and BDZ Cargo:
Društvo BDZ Passenger, koje je društvo s ograničenom odgovornošću, jedini je pružatelj nacionalnih usluga prijevoza putnika u Bugarskoj.
Measure 1: Restructuring aid consisting of six capital increases into BDZ Holding amounting to BGN 550 million (EUR 281 million [5]);
Društvo BDZ Passenger obavlja obvezu pružanja javne usluge („PSO”) u okviru koje se nalazi približno 90 % tržišta željezničkog prijevoza putnika.
Measure 2: Cancellation of the debts incurred prior to 2007;
Ugovor o obavljanju PSO-a koji ima društvo BDZ Passenger potpisan je 2009. na razdoblje od 15 godina (2010. – 2025.).
Measure 3: Non-payment by BDZ Holding of overdue debts towards the infrastructure manager (NRIC);
OPIS MJERA I OSNOVA ZA POKRETANJE POSTUPKA
MEASURE 1: RESTRUCTURING AID
mjera 1.: potpora za restrukturiranje koja se sastoji od šest dokapitalizacija društva BDZ Holding u iznosu od 550 milijuna BGN (281 milijun EUR [5]);
Bulgaria envisaged granting restructuring aid in the form of six capital increases in BDZ Holding amounting to BGN 550 million (EUR 281 million) in the years 2011-2016 and notified that restructuring aid to the Commission in 2011.
mjera 2.: brisanje dugova nastalih prije 2007. godine;
However, to date, the relevant public authorities have not taken a definitive decision to grant the aid and the funds have not been paid to BDZ Holding.
mjera 3.: neplaćanje dospjelih dugova društva BDZ Holding upravitelju infrastrukture (NRIC);
In the Opening Decision, the Commission considered that the restructuring aid would constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty and expressed doubts as to whether that aid would be compatible with the internal market.
mjera 4.: povrat poreza na dodanu vrijednost („PDV”) društvu BDZ Holding od strane države.
MEASURE 2: CANCELLATION OF THE DEBTS INCURRED PRIOR TO 2007
MJERA 1.: POTPORA ZA RESTRUKTURIRANJE
According to the information submitted by Bulgaria, prior to Bulgaria's accession to the Union on 1 January 2007, BDZ Holding and its subsidiaries had outstanding liabilities and provisions amounting to BGN 806729558 (EUR 412 million) on 31 December 2006.
Komisija je u Odluci o pokretanju postupka smatrala da bi potpora za restrukturiranje činila državnu potporu u smislu članka 107. stavka 1.
The liabilities and provisions of BDZ Holding concerned: (i) loans from financial institutions such as Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (‘KfW’), European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (‘EBRD’) and International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (‘IBRD’), the purpose of which was mainly the rehabilitation of rolling stock; but also (ii) trade-related obligations, including towards the Bulgarian rail infrastructure operator NRIC, provisions and obligations towards staff and insurance providers as well as other liabilities, including the liabilities resulting from an agreement for the purchase of rolling stock concluded between BDZ Holding, Siemens and KfW in 2005.
Ugovora te je izrazila sumnje u pogledu spojivosti te potpore s unutarnjim tržištem.
The amounts of those liabilities and provisions are broken down as follows in Table 1.
MJERA 2.: BRISANJE DUGOVA NASTALIH PRIJE 2007.

GODINE
Overview of liabilities and provisions of BDZ Holding and its subsidiaries on 31 December 2006
Prema informacijama koje je dostavila Bugarska, prije pristupanja Bugarske Uniji 1. siječnja 2007., društvo BDZ Holding i njegova društva kćeri imali su na dan 31. prosinca 2006. nepodmirene obveze i rezervacije u iznosu od 806729558 BGN (412 milijuna EUR).
(in BGN million)
Obveze i rezervacije društva BDZ Holding odnosile su se na i. zajmove financijskih institucija kao što su banka Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau („KfW”), Europska banka za obnovu i razvoj („EBOR”) i Međunarodna banka za obnovu i razvoj („IBRD”) uglavnom namijenjene obnovi željezničkih vozila, ali i na ii. obveze povezane s trgovinom, uključujući obveze prema bugarskom upravitelju željezničke infrastrukture (NRIC), rezervacije i obveze prema osoblju i osiguravateljima te ostale obveze, uključujući obveze nastale na temelju ugovora o kupoprodaji željezničkih vozila koji je sklopljen 2005. između društva BDZ Holding, društva Siemens i banke KfW.

Ugovor SIEMENS/KfW
Bulgaria envisaged taking over part or all of the liabilities incurred before 1 January 2007 by BDZ Holding and its subsidiaries.
Trgovinske obveze
In the Opening Decision, the Commission considered that the cancellation of liabilities would constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty and expressed doubts as to whether that aid would be compatible with the internal market.
Obveze prema osoblju i osiguravateljima
Bulgaria did not invoke the application or justify whether the measure was in line with the relevant requirements Railway Guidelines [6].
Ostale obveze, uključujući porez i rezervacije
The Commission was therefore unable to take a position on the compatibility of this aid with the internal market.
Ukupne obveze
MEASURE 3: NON-PAYMENT BY BDZ HOLDING AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES OF OVERDUE DEBTS TOWARDS THE INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGER (NRIC)
Bugarska je namjeravala preuzeti, djelomično ili u cijelosti, obveze društva BDZ Holding i njegovih društava kćeri nastale prije 1. siječnja 2007.
According to the information provided by Bulgaria, BDZ Holding and its subsidiaries had not been paying all the infrastructure charges due to NRIC.
Komisija je u Odluci o pokretanju postupka smatrala da bi brisanje obveza činilo državnu potporu u smislu članka 107. stavka 1.
As a consequence, the Opening Decision recorded outstanding trade liabilities owed to NRIC amounting to BGN 45 million.
Ugovora i izrazila je sumnje u pogledu spojivosti te potpore s unutarnjim tržištem.
Since Bulgaria did not clarify the origin and evolution of those trade liabilities, the Commission considered in the Opening Decision that the non-enforcement of those debts could potentially involve State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Bugarska se nije pozvala na primjenu Smjernica za željeznice [6] niti je navela razloge na temelju kojih je ta mjera bila u skladu s odgovarajućim zahtjevima iz Smjernica.
In this regard, the Commission noted that according to the case law, the non-enforcement of liabilities by public undertakings [7] might involve State aid if a hypothetical market economy operator in the same position would not have behaved in the way the public undertakings did and would have enforced them [8].
Komisija stoga nije mogla zauzeti stajalište o spojivosti te potpore s unutarnjim tržištem.
However, the Commission did not possess precise factual indications that NRIC had not taken the steps that a diligent creditor in the same situation would have taken.
MJERA 3.: NEPLAĆANJE DOSPJELIH DUGOVA DRUŠTVA BDZ HOLDING I NJEGOVIH DRUŠTAVA KĆERI UPRAVITELJU INFRASTRUKTURE (NRIC)
Therefore, the Commission invited Bulgaria to provide information as to whether and how NRIC had tried to enforce the outstanding liabilities.
Prema informacijama koje je dostavila Bugarska, društvo BDZ Holding i njegova društva kćeri nisu NRIC-u plaćali sve dospjele pristojbe za infrastrukturu.
To the extent that the measure was found to involve State aid, the Commission also expressed doubts as to its compatibility with the internal market in the context of the then notified restructuring aid and accompanying restructuring plan.
Kao posljedica toga, u Odluci o pokretanju postupka zabilježene su nepodmirene trgovinske obveze prema NRIC-u u iznosu od 45 milijuna BGN.
In that respect, the Commission invited Bulgaria to complement the restructuring plan by providing information as to how these debts with NRIC would be settled.
Budući da Bugarska nije pojasnila nastanak i razvoj tih trgovinskih obveza, Komisija je u Odluci o pokretanju postupka smatrala da bi neprovođenje prisilne naplate tih dugova moglo uključivati državnu potporu u smislu članka 107. stavka 1.
MEASURE 4: REIMBURSEMENT OF WRONGFULLY CHARGED VAT BY THE STATE TO BDZ HOLDING
Ugovora.
According to the information provided by Bulgaria, Bulgaria had reimbursed value added tax (‘VAT’) amounting to BGN 72 million (EUR 36,7 million) to BDZ Holding in the past.
U tom je pogledu Komisija navela da bi, prema sudskoj praksi, neprovođenje prisilne naplate obveza od strane javnih poduzeća [7] moglo uključivati državnu potporu ako se hipotetski subjekt u tržišnom gospodarstvu koji se nalazi u istom položaju ne bi ponašao na način na koji se ponaša javno poduzeće te bi prisilno naplatio te obveze [8].
Since at the stage of the Opening Decision Bulgaria did not clarify the reasons for the VAT reimbursement and whether it complied with Council Directive 2006/112/EC [9], the Commission considered that the VAT reimbursement could potentially involve State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Međutim, Komisija nije imala točne činjenične naznake o tome da NRIC nije poduzeo korake koje bi pažljivi vjerovnik poduzeo u istoj situaciji.
In this regard, the Commission noted that according to case law, the concept of aid embraces not only positive benefits, but also measures which, in various forms, mitigate the charges which are normally included in the budget of an undertaking.
Komisija je stoga pozvala Bugarsku da dostavi informacije o tome je li i kako je NRIC pokušao prisilno naplatiti nepodmirene obveze.
Therefore, the Commission invited Bulgaria to provide further information on the reasons for the reimbursement of VAT to BDZ Holding.
U mjeri u kojoj je utvrđeno da mjera uključuje državnu potporu Komisija je izrazila sumnje u pogledu njezine spojivosti s unutarnjim tržištem u kontekstu tada prijavljene potpore za restrukturiranje i priloženog plana restrukturiranja.
COMMENTS FROM AN INTERESTED PARTY
U tom je pogledu Komisija pozvala Bugarsku da dopuni plan restrukturiranja dostavljanjem informacija o tome kako će se podmiriti dugovi prema NRIC-u.
A competitor of BDZ Cargo active in the provision of rail freight services, which did not want to have its identity disclosed, submitted observations on two measures identified in the Opening Decision.
MJERA 4.: POVRAT PDV-A KOJI JE DRŽAVA NEZAKONITO NAPLATILA DRUŠTVU BDZ HOLDING
With regard to the planned restructuring aid (Measure 1), the competitor suggested that unused locomotives of BDZ Holding and its subsidiaries, BDZ Passenger and BDZ Cargo should be sold as a compensatory measure.
Prema informacijama koje je dostavila Bugarska, Bugarska je u prošlosti društvu BDZ Holding vratila porez na dodanu vrijednost („PDV”) u iznosu od 72 milijuna BGN (36,7 milijuna EUR).
The competitor stated that BDZ Holding was not granting access to its unused fleet to the competitors, who had no other available source from which to acquire or lease locomotives.
Budući da Bugarska u fazi Odluke o pokretanju postupka nije pojasnila razloge za povrat PDV-a i je li on bio u skladu s Direktivom Vijeća 2006/112/EZ [9], Komisija je smatrala da bi povrat PDV-a mogao uključivati državnu potporu u smislu članka 107. stavka 1.
With regard to non-payment by BDZ Holding and its subsidiaries of overdue debts towards NRIC (Measure 3), the competitor stated that although all freight transport carriers are obliged to pay the same fees, the non-enforcement of the accumulated liabilities towards NRIC generates a competitive advantage to BDZ Holding and its subsidiaries.
Ugovora.
In addition, the competitor requested that compensatory measures under the Guidelines on State aid for rescuing and restructuring non-financial undertakings in difficulty and the Railway Guidelines be imposed on BDZ and that BDZ Cargo be privatised on market terms.
U tom je pogledu Komisija napomenula da, prema sudskoj praksi, pojmom potpore nisu obuhvaćene samo pozitivne koristi, nego i mjere kojima se u raznim oblicima smanjuju troškovi koji su obično uključeni u proračun poduzetnika.
COMMENTS FROM BULGARIA
Komisija je stoga pozvala Bugarsku da dostavi dodatne informacije o razlozima povrata PDV-a društvu BDZ Holding.
In its reply to the Opening Decision and subsequent information, Bulgaria provided comments and further clarifications on the facts referred to in the Opening Decision.
PRIMJEDBE ZAINTERESIRANE STRANE
MEASURE 1: RESTRUCTURING AID — WITHDRAWAL OF THE NOTIFICATION
Konkurent društva BDZ Cargo, koji pruža usluge željezničkog prijevoza tereta i koji nije želio da se njegov identitet otkrije, dostavio je opažanja o dvjema mjerama utvrđenima u Odluci o pokretanju postupka.
By letter dated 22 April 2014, Bulgaria withdrew the notification of the restructuring aid.
S obzirom na planiranu potporu za restrukturiranje (mjera 1.), konkurent je kao kompenzacijsku mjeru predložio da bi trebalo prodati lokomotive društva BDZ Holding i njegovih društava kćeri, BDZ Passenger i BDZ Cargo, koje nisu u upotrebi.
However, the restructuring aid was mentioned in subsequent submissions and was finally withdrawn by letter dated 7 November 2016.
Konkurent je naveo da društvo BDZ Holding konkurentima ne odobrava pristup svojem voznom parku koji nije u upotrebi, a ti konkurenti nemaju drugi dostupni izvor iz kojeg bi nabavili ili unajmili lokomotive.
Bulgaria indicated that, instead of granting the restructuring aid to BDZ Holding, it intended to refinance BDZ Holding's liabilities by cancelling part of the debts incurred and outstanding prior to Bulgaria's accession.
S obzirom na neplaćanje dospjelih dugova koje društvo BDZ Holding i njegova društva kćeri imaju prema NRIC-u (mjera 3.), konkurent je naveo da, iako su svi prijevoznici tereta obvezni plaćati iste pristojbe, neprovođenjem prisilne naplate akumuliranih obveza prema NRIC-u nastaje konkurentska prednost za društvo BDZ Holding i njegova društva kćeri.
Bulgaria explained that, on 31 December 2006, 1 day before its accession to the Union, the total amount of liabilities and provisions of BDZ Holding amounted to BGN 806,7 million (EUR 412 million), as shown in Table 1.
Osim toga, konkurent je zatražio da se u pogledu BDZ-a uvedu kompenzacijske mjere u skladu sa Smjernicama o državnim potporama za sanaciju i restrukturiranje nefinancijskih poduzetnika u teškoćama i Smjernicama za željeznice te da se društvo BDZ Cargo privatizira pod tržišnim uvjetima.
Whilst taking into account the liabilities repaid by BDZ Holding and its financial needs, Bulgaria envisaged cancelling liabilities of BDZ Holding amounting to BGN 601,9 million (EUR 307,1 million).
PRIMJEDBE BUGARSKE
However, by letter dated 5 April 2017, Bulgaria modified its notification and requested the Commission to approve a debt cancellation amounting to BGN 223,45 million (EUR 114,25 million).
U svojem odgovoru na Odluku o pokretanju postupka i kasnije dostavljenim informacijama Bugarska je dostavila primjedbe i dodatna pojašnjenja o činjenicama koje se navode u Odluci o pokretanju postupka.
