Payment of the aid had moreover been made subject to the conclusion of riders to the pre-existing public-service contracts imposing new obligations on the operator.
Drugo, ispunjen je i uvjet prema kojem obveze javne usluge trebaju biti jasno definirane, pri čemu su jasno definirana predmetna zemljopisna područja.
According to OPTILE, only one of the criteria for a measure to be classed as State aid had therefore been met, namely the existence of public resources.
Treće, parametri za izračun naknade precizni su i unaprijed utvrđeni na objektivan i transparentan način.
Selectivity, the existence of an economic advantage and effects on competition and trade between Member States were absent, in its view.
Četvrto, ugovori uključuju pojedinosti o troškovima koje snose poduzeće i STIF.
Economic advantage
Peto, na temelju argumenata iz uvodnih izjava 90. do 93. rizik od dodjele prekomjernih naknada trebao bi biti isključen.
Aid paid by the Region was intended for local authorities, not for transport undertakings, the aim being to lighten the financial burden borne by such authorities.
Organizacija OPTILE okuplja 70 poduzeća (podatak iz 2012.) koja obavljaju usluge redovnog prijevoza navedene u prometnom planu regije, ne uključujući SNCF i RATP.
If such aid had not been paid, either the performance of the contracts would have continued without alteration, with the level of supply and the terms and conditions of the service defined in the initial contract remaining unchanged, or the contracting authorities would have had to pay larger amounts of compensation owing to the increased deficit caused by the fact that revenue from fares would have been insufficient to meet the costs of the supply of services as redefined in the riders to the public-service contracts.
Primjedbe ove organizacije odnose se samo na mjere koje je provodila regija.
The sums made available to undertakings at the time vehicles were acquired were refunded to the contracting authorities over the depreciation period of the equipment, and the financial cost to the undertakings was the same as if they had resorted to a bank loan.
U suprotnosti s pretpostavkama Komisije u odluci o pokretanju postupka, OPTILE smatra da se te potpore ne pribrajaju naknadama koje su već isplatile jedinice javne uprave te da stoga ne predstavljaju dodatno plaćanje, već olakšicu naknada koje su isplatile jedinice javne uprave.
It was therefore a matter of transferring a cost between local authorities.
Nadalje, isplata potpora bila je uvjetovana potpisivanjem dopuna postojećih ugovora o obavljanju javne usluge, kojima su operatoru bile nametnute nove obveze.
Furthermore, according to OPTILE, aid paid by the Region was akin to public-service compensation.
OPTILE smatra da je ispunjen samo jedan od četiriju kriterija za kvalifikaciju državne potpore, a to je prisutnost javnih sredstava.
As the four Altmark criteria were met, there was no question of there being an economic advantage.
Kriterij selektivnosti, postojanja gospodarske prednosti i utjecaja na tržišno natjecanje i trgovinu među državama članicama nisu bili ispunjeni.
Regarding the first Altmark criterion, payment of aid by the Region was subject to the conclusion of a rider to the contracts between the contracting authorities and the undertakings.
Gospodarska korist
This rider meant an increase in the service supplied and included obligations designed to bring about a qualitative improvement, with checks to ensure that the obligations were properly discharged.
Potpore regije bile su namijenjene teritorijalnim jedinicama javne uprave, a ne prijevoznim poduzećima, jer im je cilj bio olakšati financijsko opterećenje koji su snosile jedinice.
As regards the second Altmark criterion, the parameters for calculating the compensation were established in advance in an objective and transparent manner, and were based on an objective determination of the cost of the service.
Da te potpore nisu bile isplaćene, ili bi se ugovori nastavili izvršavati bez izmjena, a razina ponude i uvjeti usluge definirani u prvotnom ugovoru ostali bi nepromijenjeni ili bi jedinice javne uprave u svojstvu organizatora morale isplaćivati veće naknade zbog povećanja deficita proizašlog iz nedostatnih tarifnih prihoda u pogledu troškova ponude usluga, koja je ponovno definirana u dopunama ugovora o obavljanju javne usluge.
By way of example, OPTILE gave the rates of participation by the Region in the financing of vehicles (ranging from 25 % to 60 % of the cost of acquisition depending on the characteristics of the vehicles and of the network), which were set in advance, as were the ceilings on eligible costs.
Iznosi stavljeni na raspolaganje poduzećima u trenutku kupnje vozila vraćeni su jedinicima organizatorima u amortizacijskom razdoblju opreme, a financijski teret poduzeća bio je isti kao da su uzela bankovni kredit.
The method whereby the subsidy was charged to the compensation paid to the undertaking operating the service was also laid down in the standard rider.
Ovdje je dakle bila riječ o prijenosu tereta među teritorijalnim jedinicama uprave.
Regarding the third Altmark criterion, the compensation paid by the local authorities was determined on the basis of a forward budget, which was itself drawn up on the basis of the costs of operating the service.
Nadalje, OPTILE smatra da su potpore regije usporedive s naknadama za obavljanje javne usluge.
These costs reflected the impact of the equipment subsidy from the Region and of the revenue determined in accordance with the most recent passenger counts.
Budući da su četiri kriterija iz presude Altmark ispunjena, isključeno je postojanje gospodarske koristi.
The agreements entitled the authority to audit the undertaking's accounts.
Kada je riječ o prvom kriteriju iz presude Altmark isplata potpora regije bila je uvjetovana zaključenjem dopune ugovora zaključenih između jedinica organizatora i poduzeća.
Regarding the fourth Altmark criterion, before the agreements were signed the authorities analysed the undertakings' cost structures.
Tom se dopunom ostvarilo povećanje ponude, a uključivala je obveze namijenjene poboljšanju kvalitete, čije se ispunjavanje kontroliralo.
Costs relating to the supply of rolling stock actually accounted for only about 15 %.
Kada je riječ o drugom kriteriju iz presude Altmark, parametri izračuna naknade bili su unaprijed utvrđeni na objektivan i transparentan način te su se temeljili na objektivnom određivanju troškova usluge.
All the local authorities organising a scheduled public transport network by road in Île-de-France were eligible to receive the aid.
OPTILE navodi primjer stope udjela regije u financiranju vozila, koja je iznosila od 25 % do 60 % troškova nabave ovisno o karakteristikama vozila i mreže, koje su unaprijed određene, kao i maksimalne osnovne vrijednosti subvencija.
The criteria for awarding it were established in advance and were objective.
Nadalje, metoda odbijanja subvencije od naknade isplaćene poduzeću koje obavlja uslugu bila je utvrđena u modelu dopune ugovora.
Undertakings which only occasionally provided transport services were not involved.
Kada je riječ o trećem kriteriju iz presude Altmark, naknade koje snose jedinice javne uprave bile su utvrđene na temelju nacrta proračuna, koji je izrađen na temelju troškova obavljanja usluge.
Firstly, the market in scheduled public transport services by road in Île-de-France was not open to competition.
Ti su troškovi bili sniženi s obzirom na učinke subvencioniranja opreme regije i prihode utvrđene prema posljednjim podacima o broju putnika.
Secondly, when the mechanism was set up in 1979, transport markets were not yet open to competition in the other Member States.
Ugovorima je jedinici javne uprave bilo dodijeljeno pravo kontrole računa poduzeća.
The possibility highlighted by the Commission that undertakings in Île-de-France might use subsidised equipment to apply for the award of other transport contracts open to competition in France and Europe would not be feasible either contractually or practically.
Kada je riječ o četvrtom kriteriju iz presude Altmark, jedinice javne uprave prije zaključenja ugovora proučile su strukturu troškova poduzeća.
For one thing, the contractual provisions limited the use of vehicles partly subsidised by the Region for other activities and precluded taking advantage of the regional mechanism to operate on another market; for another, the rolling stock used to operate the subsidised service in Île-de-France could not physically be assigned simultaneously to the provision of a similar service on other markets outside Île-de-France.
Troškovi povezani s nabavom voznog parka činili su samo dio troškova od otprilike 15 %.
In any case, vehicles intended for urban transport services carrying passengers most of whom were standing would not, according to OPTILE, be usable for occasional transport services requiring the use of coaches fitted out for the transport of seated passengers.
Sve jedinice javne uprave organizatori mreže redovnog javnog prijevoza u cestovnom prometu regije Île-de-France imale su mogućnost biti korisnici tih potpora.
If the mechanism were to be seen as State aid, compatibility should be assessed under the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69, not those of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, for reasons of legal certainty and legitimate expectations.
Kriteriji dodjele potpora bili su unaprijed utvrđeni i objektivni.
In accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69, the public-service contracts were necessary as a response to population expansion and the desire to provide an adequate scheduled public transport service by road, without making the users bear the cost, while taking account of concerns linked to environmental standards.
Potpore se nisu odnosile na poduzeća koja su obavljala isključivo uslugu povremenog prijevoza.
The contracts complied, in particular, with Article 14 of the Regulation since they included the minimum points required.
S jedne strane, tržište redovnog javnog prijevoza u cestovnom prometu regije Île-de-France nije bilo otvoreno za konkurenciju.
Lastly, the compensation paid to the undertakings did not exceed what was necessary to ensure the operation of the public service: it was limited to the amount of the difference between the costs of providing the services defined in the contract and the sum of all the revenues therefrom.
S druge strane, u vrijeme kada je 1979. mehanizam uspostavljen, za konkurenciju još nisu bila otvorena ni tržišta prijevoza u drugim državama članicama.
Should the mechanism be regarded as State aid, there would therefore be grounds for declaring it compatible on the basis of Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69.
Mogućnost, koju je predvidjela Komisija, da bi poduzeća regije Île-de-France upotrijebila subvencioniranu opremu da bi se prijavila na druge javne natječaje za dodjelu ugovora u području prijevoza otvorene za konkurenciju u Francuskoj i u Europi, nije ni materijalno ni ugovorno ostvariva.
Keolis is a group of companies operating in the transport sector and, in particular, scheduled public transport by road in Île-de-France.
Naime, s jedne su strane ugovorne odredbe ograničavale upotrebu vozila koja je djelomično subvencionirala regija za druge djelatnosti te je njima bila isključena mogućnost iskorištavanja regionalnog mehanizma za poslovanje na drugom tržištu, dok se s druge strane vozni park, koji se upotrebljavao za obavljanje ugovorene usluge u regiji Île-de-France, u praksi nije mogao istodobno upotrebljavati za obavljanje slične usluge na drugim tržištima izvan regije Île-de-France.
It is a member of OPTILE.
Nadalje, OPTILE smatra da se vozila namijenjena gradskom prijevozu putnika s pretežno stajaćim mjestima ne bi mogla upotrebljavati za povremeni prijevoz za koji su potrebni autobusi sa sjedaćim mjestima.
Keolis's comments related only to the measures implemented by the Region.
Ako bi se ovaj mehanizam smatrao državnom potporom, zbog pravne sigurnosti i zaštite legitimnih očekivanja spojivost mehanizma trebalo bi ocijeniti na temelju odredaba Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1191/69, a ne Uredbe (EZ) br. 1370/2007.
Existence of aid and conformity with Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69
U skladu s Uredbom (EEZ) br. 1191/69 zaključivanje ugovora o obavljanju javne usluge bilo je potrebno da bi se reagiralo na demografski razvoj i želju za pružanjem zadovoljavajuće usluge redovnog javnog prijevoza u cestovnom prometu, pri čemu troškove ne bi snosili korisnici prijevoza, istodobno uzimajući u obzir pitanja povezana sa standardima zaštite okoliša.
While the Region had provided aid to the local authorities, Keolis stated that the operation was financially neutral for the operators.
Ti su ugovori među ostalim bili u skladu s člankom 14.
Without aid, the local authorities would have had either to pay an equivalent subsidy to the operators with whom they had an operating agreement or to agree to a reduction in the service.
Uredbe jer su obuhvaćali minimalne zahtijevane točke.
The operators had not, therefore, received any additional advantage as compared to public financing without the Region's mechanism.
Konačno, naknada isplaćena poduzećima nije prelazila iznos potreban za osiguravanje funkcioniranja javne usluge: bila je ograničena na iznos razlike između troškova obavljanja usluga definiranih ugovorom i ukupnog iznosa svih prihoda od tih usluga.
Furthermore, the arrangement in question could not be separated from the operating agreements reached between transport undertakings and local authorities.
Ako bi se taj mehanizam smatrao državnom potporom, trebalo bi ga proglasiti spojivim na temelju Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1191/69.
It was merely an element of the implementation by the local authorities of public-service contracts within the meaning of Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69, with which, according to Keolis, the contracts concerned complied.
Keolis je grupa poduzeća koja posluju u prijevoznom sektoru, a posebno u sektoru redovnog javnog prijevoza u cestovnom prometu regije Île-de-France.
According to Keolis, the arrangement set up by the Region in 1994 was an existing scheme since it applied the provisions of Article 19 of the 1949 decree [16], which had been promulgated before the entry into force of the Treaty of Rome.
Njezine primjedbe odnose se samo na mjere koje je provodila regija.
The measures in question therefore had to be considered in the context of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 [17], and it would be solely up to the Commission to make proposals to the French authorities, if necessary, for appropriate measures for the future.
Postojanje državne potpore i usklađenost s Uredbom (EEZ) br. 1191/69
However, as the mechanism in question had been repealed in 2008, there were no longer any grounds for considering it.
Regija je neupitno pomagala jedinicama javne uprave, ali grupa Keolis tvrdi da je operacija bila financijski neutralna za operatore.
Even if 1994 were taken as the year when the mechanism was set up by the Region, the conclusion would have to be the same.
Bez potpora bi jedinice javne uprave bile prisiljena ili operatorima s kojima su zaključile ugovor o obavljanju javne usluge isplatiti odgovarajuću subvenciju ili pristati na smanjenje opsega usluge.
In 1994, the economic sector concerned was closed to competition, as the decisions adopted by the Commission in 1997 and 1998 [18] show.
Operatori stoga nisu imali dodatnu korist u usporedbi s javnim financiranjem bez mehanizma regije.
The criterion concerning the effects on trade between Member States was therefore not satisfied.
Nadalje, predmetni mehanizam ne može se promatrati odvojeno od ugovora o obavljanju usluga zaključenih između prijevoznih poduzeća i jedinica javne uprave.
It was true that the common market had evolved since 1994, with certain Member States having unilaterally decided to open up their local passenger transport markets to competition, But even if this evolution were sufficient now to confer the character of State aid on the arrangement set up by the Region, it would then simply have become an existing aid scheme.
On naime predstavlja samo jedan aspekt izvršavanja ugovora o obavljanju javne usluge od strane teritorijalnih jedinica uprave na temelju članka 14.
For the reason stated in recital 129, there were therefore no grounds for looking into it.
Uredbe (EEZ) br. 1191/69, s čijim su odredbama, smatra Keolis, ti ugovori bili sukladni.
RATP Développement (‘RATP Dev’) is a subsidiary of RATP, a public body whose main activity is the urban and interurban transport of passengers by road and rail.
Prema tome, sam mehanizam nije bio nositelj državne potpore jer operatori nisu od njega imali gospodarsku korist.
Its comments related only to the measures set up by the Region and the CT1 contract.
Keolis smatra da je mehanizam koji je regija uvela 1994. bio već postojeći program potpora jer su se njime provodile odredbe članka 19. dekreta iz 1949.
RATP Dev argued that two of the criteria for classing the measures implemented by the Region as aid were missing, that of selectivity and that of economic advantage.
[16], donesenoga prije stupanja na snagu Rimskih ugovora.
As regards the selectivity criterion, the special legal framework of the market in scheduled public passenger transport by road in Île-de-France made it a separate geographical market, as the French Competition Authority had also pointed out.
Stoga je predmetne mjere potrebno proučiti u okviru Uredbe Vijeća (EZ) br. 659/1999 [17], a samo bi Komisija, prema potrebi, mogla francuskim nadležnim tijelima predložiti mjere korisne za budućnost.
Within the framework of this market, the mechanism set up by the Region was a general non-discriminatory and non-discretionary measure, as it benefited all the undertakings providing scheduled public passenger transport by road in Île-de-France which had signed an operating agreement with a local authority.
Međutim, predmetni mehanizam nije potrebno proučiti s obzirom na to da je ukinut 2008.
In view of the conditions of geographical selectivity [19] and material selectivity [20], as defined by EU case law, the arrangement set up by the Region was not State aid but a general measure.
Čak i ako bi se za godinu uvođenja mehanizma regije uzela 1994., zaključak bi bio isti.
As regards the economic advantage criterion, the subsidies given by the Region had to be treated as being akin to public-service compensation.
Činjenica je da je zajedničko tržište od 1994. doživjelo razvoj, pri čemu su se neke države članice jednostrano odlučile otvoriti svoja lokalna tržišta putničkog prijevoza za konkurenciju.
Such compensation was in conformity with the four Altmark criteria; it did not confer any economic advantage.
Međutim, čak i kada bi taj razvoj bio dovoljan da se mehanizam koji je uvela regija danas može smatrati državnom potporom, taj bi mehanizam postao samo postojeći program potpora.
As regards the first Altmark criterion, which required the PSOs to be clearly defined, RATP Dev stressed that, when the forms of compensation tied to the fulfilment of those obligations came from several State sources, they had to be assessed in relation to all the PSOs included in the public-service contract.
Zbog razloga navedenog u uvodnoj izjavi 129. nije ga potrebno proučavati.
It would therefore not be correct to consider that the subsidies from the Region were awarded only to compensate for the additional obligations imposed by the Region.
Poduzeće RATP Développement (dalje u tekstu: društvo RATP Dev) je društvo kći RATP-a, javno poduzeće čija je glavna djelatnost gradski i međugradski cestovni i željeznički prijevoz putnika.
On the contrary, they were one component, among others, of the compensation paid to the transport undertakings.
Primjedbe tog društva odnose se samo na mehanizam koji je uvela regija i ugovor CT1.
These PSOs were clearly defined in the operating agreements between local authorities and the transport undertakings, with the amendments demanded as a condition of the granting of subsidies from the Region being merely in addition.
RATP Dev smatra da se mjere koje je provodila regija ne mogu okarakterizirati kao državna potpora jer nisu ispunjena sljedeća dva kriterija: kriterij selektivnosti i kriterij gospodarske koristi.
The obligation to invest in rolling stock was also clearly acknowledged by the Commission, particularly in the Community guidelines on State aid for railway undertakings [21], as a PSO which could attract compensation for its discharge.
U pogledu kriterija selektivnosti tržište redovnog javnog cestovnog prijevoza u regiji Île-de-France zbog svojeg je specifičnog pravnog okvira zemljopisno zasebno tržište, kao što je to navelo Autorité de la concurrence française.
As regards the second Altmark criterion, the rates of subsidy had been clearly set according to the different objectives pursued in acquiring vehicles (from 25 % to 60 % depending on whether it was a matter of expanding the fleet or of investing in renewal) and the subsidy ceilings had been set in advance.
U okviru tog tržišta mehanizam regije bio je opća nediskrecijska i nediskriminatorna mjera jer su je upotrebljavala sva poduzeća koja pružaju usluge redovnog javnog cestovnog prijevoza u regiji Île-de-France, a koja su potpisala ugovor o obavljanju usluga s jedinicom javne uprave.
The calculation mechanism was regularly reviewed, having regard to the need to readjust in advance, and in a transparent manner, the level of subsidies in order to prevent any overcompensation.
U svjetlu uvjeta zemljopisne [19] i materijalne selektivnosti [20], koji su definirani pravom Europske unije, mehanizam regije nije bio državna potpora, nego opća mjera.
As regards the third and fourth Altmark criteria, the financing set-up in the operating agreements laid down that the transport undertaking concerned should each year notify a projected operating account, under strict limits, in which the revenues inherent in subsidies from the Region were incorporated.
Kada je riječ o kriteriju gospodarske koristi, subvencije regije trebale bi se smatrati naknadama za obavljanje javne usluge.
Participation by the co-contracting local authority was set in line with the deficit recorded in the projected operating account.
Budući da su te naknade bile u skladu s četirima kriterijima iz presude Altmark, one nisu donosile gospodarsku korist.
There were also refund mechanisms to prevent any overcompensation.
U pogledu prvog kriterija iz presude Altmark koji zahtijeva jasnu definiciju obveza obavljanja javne usluge, RATP Dev naglašava da ako naknade povezane s ispunjavanjem tih obveza dolaze iz različitih državnih izvora, potrebno ih je analizirati u odnosu na sve obveze obavljanja javne usluge koje su uključene u ugovore o obavljanju javne usluge.
Measures implemented by STIF under the CT1
Stoga, bilo bi netočno smatrati da su se subvencije regije odobravale samo kao naknada za dodatne obveze koje je nametnula regija.
According to RATP Dev, the mechanism implemented by STIF did not meet the criteria of selectivity and economic advantage.
Naprotiv, to je među ostalim bio doprinos naknadi isplaćenoj prijevoznim poduzećima.
It could not therefore be described as State aid.
Te obveze javne usluge bile su jasno definirane u ugovorima o obavljanju javne usluge zaključenima između lokalnih jedinica uprave i prijevoznih poduzeća, a tražene izmjene koje su bile uvjet za dodjelu subvencija regije bile su samo dodatak.
In the case of the selectivity criterion, the same reasoning as that set out in recitals 134 and 135 applied.
Nadalje, Komisija je u smjernicama Zajednice o državnim potporama željezničkim poduzećima [21] shvatila obveze ulaganja u vozni park kao obveze obavljanja javne usluge za čije se izvršavanje može dobiti naknada.
In the case of the economic advantage criterion, the subsidies from STIF were akin to public-service compensation.
Kada je riječ o drugom kriteriju iz presude Almark stope subvencija bile su jasno utvrđene prema različitim ciljevima nabave vozila (od 25 % do 60 % ovisno o tome radi li se o proširenju voznog parka ili ulaganju u obnovu voznog parka), a maksimalni iznosi subvencija bili su unaprijed određeni.
