In light of the above considerations, the City maintains that the rental agreements with ÍG comply with the market economy operator test.
ÍG je otada uložio znatna sredstva za obnovu, čišćenje i održavanje tog područja.
COMMENTS FROM ÍG
Stoga se mora pretpostaviti da je kasnija zainteresiranost povezana sa stanjem tog područja nakon što je društvo ÍG preuzelo upravljanje njime.
According to ÍG, the large size of the land is of very limited benefit for them as a tenant and only makes the maintenance and supervision obligations more cumbersome and costly.
Konačno, ÍG je dostavio neovisnu procjenu najma, s datumom od 15. listopada 2015., koju je izradila agencija za nekretnine 101 Reykjavík Fasteignasala [34].
Moreover, although the buildings are voluminous in square meters they are in a very bad condition.
U procjeni najma daje se procjena vrijednosti općeg ugovora o najmu iz 2005. u listopadu 2005. na temelju vrijednosti i stanja pojedinačnih nekretnina.
ÍG highlights that the buildings were indeed bought in order to tear them down.
Zaključak je procjenitelja da ukupna mjesečna vrijednost najma nekretnina i područja iznosi 1870000 ISK.
A total demolition was planned and it was foreseen that there would be a residential area and a highway on the site.
OCJENA
In 2003, SR had used the area and the buildings in Gufunes to provide storage for various individuals and companies that had been ordered by SR to evacuate other areas in the City.
Članak 61. stavak 1.
This arrangement soon became problematic for SR, from a logistical point of view, and therefore SR offered ÍG to rent the entire area with the aim of having the area cleaned up.
Sporazuma o EGP-u glasi kako slijedi:
ÍG was very reluctant in the beginning to take on the task as the area presented several problems, such as difficult tenants and a collection of car wrecks and industrial waste.
„Osim ako nije drugačije propisano ovim Sporazumom, svaka potpora koju dodjeljuju države članice EZ-a, države EFTA-e, ili koja se preko državnih sredstava u bilo kojem obliku, koja narušava ili prijeti narušavanjem tržišnog natjecanja pogodujući određenim poduzećima ili proizvodnji određenih proizvoda nespojiva je s provedbom ovog Sporazuma u mjeri u kojoj utječe na trgovinu između ugovornih strana.”
For the last 10 years, ÍG has spent ISK 16,5 million on average each month in maintenance and other costs that should normally have been borne by a lessor.
Time se podrazumijeva da mjera predstavlja državnu potporu u smislu članka 61. stavka 1.
Those costs must be taken into consideration when assessing the market value of the rent.
Sporazuma o EGP-u ako su kumulativno ispunjeni sljedeći uvjeti: i. mjeru dodjeljuje država ili se dodjeljuje preko državnih sredstava; ii. mjerom se korisniku dodjeljuje selektivna ekonomska prednost; iii. mjera može imati učinak na trgovinu između ugovornih strana te može narušiti tržišno natjecanje.
According to ÍG, the conditions of the buildings in the Gufunes area are dire, despite the resources spent on renovations.
NEMA PREDNOSTI
Almost every building leaks and most of the roofs of the buildings are damaged and useless.
Općenito
Moreover, almost all windows apart from in the office building are damaged and useless, many floors of the buildings are in dangerous conditions and there are holes in some places and stairs that do not fulfil regulatory conditions.
U nastavku Tijelo iznosi obrazloženje svojeg zaključka da ugovorima o najmu društvo ÍG nije ostvarilo prednost u smislu članka 61. stavka 1.
In addition, most of the buildings have no water, no toilets, and electricity that does not comply with regulatory measures.
Sporazuma o EGP-u.
Furthermore, ÍG has for the largest part of the rental period been faced with the fact that the City could have requested the land back on short notice.
Prednost, u smislu članka 61. stavka 1.
The short termination provision of 18 months and the obligation to return part of the land upon request with only 12 months' notice, was a drawback in running a business such as waste disposal, which involves heavy machines and equipment
Sporazuma o EGP-u, svaka je gospodarska korist koju poduzeće ne bi ostvarilo u uobičajenima tržišnim uvjetima, tj. bez intervencije države, i koja ga stoga stavlja u povoljniji položaj u odnosu na njegove konkurente [35].
According to ÍG, the late interest of the complainant has limited meaning when assessing the demand for the area when the 2005 General Lease Agreement was concluded.
Da je transakcija provedena pod povoljnijim uvjetima, u smislu da je društvo ÍG plaćalo najam po cijeni nižoj od tržišne, društvo bi dobivalo prednost u smislu pravila o državnim potporama.
The situation in 2005 was such that at that time it was not considered realistic to offer the area for rental purposes.
Kako bi ispitalo ovo pitanje, Tijelo primjenjuje kriterij „subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu” pri čemu se ponašanje država ili javnih nadležnih tijela pri prodaji ili davanju imovine u najam uspoređuje s ponašanjem privatnih gospodarskih subjekata [36].
Since then, ÍG has spent considerable resources to renovate, clean up and maintain the area.
Svrha je kriterija subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu ocijeniti je li država dodijelila prednost poduzeću ne postupajući kao privatni subjekt u tržišnom gospodarstvu s obzirom na određenu transakciju, npr. prodaju ili najam imovine [37].
Therefore it must be presumed that the late interest is related to the condition of the area after ÍG took over the management of the area.
Javno nadležno tijelo mora zanemariti ciljeve javne politike i umjesto toga usredotočiti se na pojedinačni cilj ostvarivanja tržišne stope povrata ili dobiti na svoja ulaganja te tržišne cijene za prodaju ili najam imovine [38].
Finally, ÍG submitted an independent lease assessment, dated 15 October 2015, from 101 Reykjavík Fasteignasala [34].
Tijelo, međutim, napominje da se tom ocjenom u pravilu moraju u obzir uzeti sva posebna prava ili obveze povezane s predmetnom imovinom, osobito one koje bi mogle utjecati na tržišnu vrijednost.
The lease assessment provides an estimate of the value of the 2005 General Lease Agreement in October 2005 based on the value and the condition of the individual properties.
Usklađenost s tržišnim uvjetima te pitanje odgovara li dogovorena cijena u nekoj transakciji tržišnoj cijeni, može se utvrditi određenim zamjenskim sredstvima.
The conclusion of the appraiser is that the total monthly rental value of the properties and the area is ISK 1870000.
Organiziranje otvorenog, transparentnog i bezuvjetnog postupka nadmetanja općenito je primjereno sredstvo za osiguravanje toga da nacionalna nadležna tijela prodaju ili daju u najam imovinu u skladu s kriterijem subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu te da je za predmetne robe i usluge plaćena pravedna tržišna vrijednost.
ASSESSMENT
Međutim, to ne znači automatski da se, u slučaju nepostojanja urednog postupka nadmetanja ili u slučaju postojanja mane u takvom postupku, time potvrđuje pretpostavka postojanja državne potpore.
THE PRESENCE OF STATE AID
Tijelo se može oslanjati i na druga zamjenska sredstva, uključujući stručne procjene vrijednosti.
Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement reads as follows:
Nepostojanje natječajnog postupka
‘Save as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any aid granted by EC Member States, EFTA States or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods shall, in so far as it affects trade between Contracting Parties, be incompatible with the functioning of this Agreement.’
S obzirom na navedeno, Tijelo prvo mora ispitati je li Grad organizirao postupak nadmetanja koji je primjeren za utvrđivanje tržišne cijene [39].
This implies that a measure constitutes state aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement if the following conditions are cumulatively fulfilled: the measure: (i) is granted by the State or through state resources; (ii) confers a selective economic advantage on the beneficiary; (iii) is liable to affect trade between Contracting Parties and to distort competition.
Međutim, u ovom je slučaju potvrđeno da nije pokrenut nikakav javni natječaj u pogledu predmetnog područja.
NO ADVANTAGE
Dodatno, nije provedena neovisna procjena vrijednosti prije sklapanja općeg ugovora o najmu iz 2005.
General
Grad je, međutim, istaknuo da su pri utvrđivanju najamnine u općem ugovoru o najmu iz 2005. s društvom ÍG razmotreni različiti postojeći ugovori o najmu na tom području koji su sklopljeni nakon objave otvorenih oglasa u islandskim medijima 2003.
In the following, the Authority sets out its reasoning for why it has come to the conclusion that the rental agreements do not provide ÍG with an advantage within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.
Međutim, Tijelo smatra da su ti oglasi bili samo pozivi na iskaz interesa i ne predstavljaju otvoren i konkurentan postupak nadmetanja.
An advantage, within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement, is any economic benefit which an undertaking would not have obtained under normal market conditions, i.e. in the absence of state intervention, thus placing it in a more favourable position than its competitors [35].
Osim toga, oni se nisu odnosili na to područje u cijelosti, ponuđeno u najam jednom najmoprimcu, nego su se odnosili na pojedinačne nekretnine unutar tog područja.
If the transaction was carried out under favourable terms, in the sense that ÍG was paying a rent below market price, the company would be receiving an advantage within the meaning of the state aid rules.
Tijelo stoga zaključuje da taj postupak oglašavanja ne ispunjava zahtjeve u pogledu kriterija subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
To examine this question, the Authority applies the ‘market economy operator’ (‘MEO’) test whereby the conduct of states or public authorities when selling or leasing assets is compared to that of private economic operators [36].
U skladu s time, taj postupak ne može pružiti pouzdano zamjensko sredstvo za utvrđivanje tržišne cijene predmetnog prava najma.
The purpose of the MEO test is to assess whether the State has granted an advantage to an undertaking by not acting like a private market economy operator with regard to a certain transaction, e.g. the sale or lease of assets [37].
Stručna procjena vrijednosti najma
The public authority must disregard public policy objectives and instead focus on the single objective of obtaining a market rate of return or profit on its investments and a market price for the sale or lease of assets [38].
Kao što je prethodno navedeno, nepostojanje zadovoljavajućeg postupka nadmetanja ne isključuje mogućnost da Tijelo primijeni kriterij subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
The Authority notes, however, that this assessment normally must take into account any special rights or obligations attached to the asset concerned, in particular those that could affect the market value.
Međutim, Tijelo mora ispitati sadržaj predmetne transakcije i posebno usporediti dogovorenu cijenu s tržišnom cijenom.
Compliance with market conditions, and whether the agreed price in a transaction corresponds to market price, can be established through certain proxies.
U tu svrhu, Tijelo se u pravilu poziva na neovisnu stručnu procjenu vrijednosti koja služi kao zamjensko sredstvo za tržišnu cijenu.
Organising an open, transparent and unconditional bidding procedure is generally an appropriate means to ensure that the sale or lease by national authorities of assets is consistent with the MEO test and that a fair market value has been paid for the goods and services in question.
Takva bi studija idealno trebala biti izrađena u vrijeme provođenja transakcije.
However, this does not automatically mean that the absence of an orderly bidding procedure or a possible flaw in such a procedure justifies a presumption of state aid.
Međutim, Tijelo se u svojoj ocjeni može oslanjati i na ex post procjenu vrijednosti [40].
The Authority can also rely on other proxies, including expert valuations.
Grad je naveo da postoji nekoliko problema koji utječu na tržišnu cijenu najma na području Gufunes.
The absence of a competitive procedure
Prvo, zgrade i oprema bile su u lošem stanju, neki najmoprimci nisu plaćali najamninu te je došlo do nagomilavanja otpada koji je trebalo očistiti.
In light of the above consideration, the Authority must first examine whether the City organised a tender procedure, adequate and well-suited to establish a market price [39].
Drugo, vladala je nesigurnost u pogledu prostornih planova za područje Gufunes.
However, in this case it has been confirmed that no public tendering was initiated regarding the area in question.
Industrijska aktivnost povlači se iz tog područja u skladu s prijašnjim i sadašnjim gradskim planovima te Grad stoga ne može sklopiti dugoročni ugovor o najmu nekretnine.
Additionally, an independent valuation was not performed in advance of the 2005 General Lease Agreement.
Treće, društvo ÍG ima obvezu povrata dijela zemlje na zahtjev u roku od 12 mjeseci, a kratak je i rok za raskid ugovora za cijelo područje, uključujući zgrade, koji iznosi 18 mjeseci.
The City has nevertheless highlighted that the various existing rental agreements in the area, which were concluded following open advertisements in the Icelandic media in 2003, were considered when determining the rent in the 2005 General Lease Agreement with ÍG.
Kao što je prethodno navedeno, Grad je tijekom pregovora s društvom RVK Studios o prodaji zgrada na području Gufunes dao dvama neovisnim agentima za nekretnine da procijene vrijednost nekretnina i prava najma.
However, the Authority considers that these advertisements were merely calls for interest and would not constitute an open and competitive bidding procedure.
Iako se te neovisne procjene ne odnose izravno na tržišnu cijenu najma tih nekretnina, njima se potvrđuje loše stanje nekretnina i njihova tržišna vrijednost.
Moreover, they did not concern the area in its entirety, offered for lease to one tenant, but rather individual properties within that area.
Kao što je prethodno navedeno, Grad je dao i usporedbu sa sličnom industrijskom nekretninom smještenom na adresi Sævarhöfði 31.
The Authority therefore concludes that this advertisement procedure does not meet the requirements of the MEO test.
Središnji ured za javnu nabavu oglasio je najam te nekretnine te je prihvaćena najviša od četiriju dobivenih ponuda, u iznosu od 420000 ISK mjesečno.
Accordingly, this procedure cannot provide a reliable proxy for establishing the market price for the lease right in question.
Taj ugovor o najmu nije uključivao nikakve posebne usluge ili obveze koje bi trebao izvršiti najmoprimac.
As stated above, the absence of a sufficient tender process does not exclude the possibility of the Authority applying the MEO test.
Osim toga, agencija za nekretnine 101 Reykjavík Fasteignasala provela je neovisnu procjenu vrijednosti općeg ugovora o najmu iz 2005.
However, the Authority needs to examine the substance of the transaction in question, and in particular compare the agreed price to the market price.
U toj procjeni vrijednosti razmatraju se stanje nekretnina i područja u vrijeme sklapanja općeg ugovora o najmu iz 2005. te tada prevladavajući tržišni uvjeti.
For this purpose, the Authority normally refers to an independent expert valuation study as a proxy for the market price.
Procjenitelj zaključuje da je ukupna mjesečna vrijednost najma nekretnina u listopadu 2005. iznosila 1870000 ISK.
Such a study should ideally be prepared at the time of the transaction.
Međutim, u skladu s općim ugovorom o najmu iz 2005., mjesečna najamnina koju je plaćalo društvo ÍG utvrđena je u iznosu od 2000000 ISK te se ponovno izračunavala svaki mjesec u skladu s indeksom potrošačkih cijena [42].
However, the Authority can also rely on an ex post valuation study in its assessment [40].
Stoga je najamnina koju je mjesečno plaćalo društvo ÍG viša od tržišne cijene najma u skladu sa stručnom procjenom vrijednosti.
Firstly, the buildings and installations were in poor shape, some tenants were not paying rent and there had been accumulation of scrap which needed clean-up.
Konačno, Tijelo napominje da se ni u usporedbi s nekretninom na adresi Sævarhöfði 31 ni u procjeni vrijednosti koju je izradila agencija za nekretnine 101 Reykjavík Fasteignasala ne uzimaju u obzir posebne obveze iz ugovora o najmu, posebice kratak rok za raskid ugovora (na koji se Grad u međuvremenu pozvao) te različite obveze u pogledu održavanja.
Secondly, uncertainty has reigned concerning the zoning plans for the Gufunes area.
Financijski učinak tih obveza na cijenu najma teško je brojčano izraziti.
Industrial activity is retreating in the area according to previous and current Municipal Plans and the City is therefore unable to conclude a long term rental agreement for the property.
Međutim, te obveze po svojoj prirodi idu u korist Gradu, a na štetu društva ÍG, dodatno potvrđujući zaključak Tijela da je opći ugovor o najmu iz 2005. sklopljen po tržišnim uvjetima.
Thirdly, ÍG has the obligation to return part of the land upon request upon 12 months' notice and the notice period for the entire area, including the buildings, was as short as 18 months.
S obzirom na prethodno navedeno, Tijelo zaključuje da društvo ÍG ugovorima o najmu nije ostvarilo gospodarsku prednost.
As previously noted, the City had two independent real estate agents appraise the value of the properties and the lease rights when they conducted their negotiations with RVK Studios for the sale of the buildings in the Gufunes area.
ZAKLJUČAK
Although these independent assessment do not directly concern the market rental price for the properties, they do confirm the bad state of the properties and their market value.
Na temelju prethodne ocjene, Tijelo smatra da ugovori o najmu sklopljeni između Grada i društva ÍG o najmu područja Gufunes ne sadržavaju državnu potporu u smislu članka 61. stavka 1.
Both the independent appraisers highlight that the buildings leak, are insufficiently isolated, contain considerable industrial waste from the time the land was occupied by a fertiliser company, and are generally run down.
Sporazuma o EGP-u,
In addition, some of the buildings contain asbestos, and others need to be torn down.
DONIJELO JE OVU ODLUKU:
As previously noted, the City has also provided a comparison with a similar industrial property located at Sævarhöfði 31.
Članak 1.
The property was advertised for rent by Central Public Procurement and the highest of four bids, worth ISK 420000 per month, was accepted.
Ugovori o najmu sklopljeni između Grada Reykjavika i društva Íslenska Gámafélagið o najmu područja Gufunes ne predstavljaju državnu potporu u smislu članka 61. stavka 1.
This rental agreement did not include any special services or obligations to be carried out by the lessee.
Sporazuma o EGP-u.
The highest rental bid as a percentage of the property valuation is 0,147 % whereas the rental price according to the 2005 General Lease Agreement with ÍG is 0,320 % of the Gufunes area property valuation.
Time je okončan službeni istražni postupak.
Moreover, 101 Reykjavík Fasteignasala has conducted an independent valuation of the 2005 General Lease Agreement [41].
Članak 2.
The valuation is dated 15 October 2015.
Ova je Odluka upućena Islandu.
It is based on the value and the state of the individual properties, which were individually assessed and scrutinised.
Članak 3.
The valuation looks at the conditions of the properties and the area at the time the General Lease Agreement was concluded in 2005 as well as the prevailing market conditions then.
Vjerodostojna je samo verzija ove Odluke na engleskom jeziku.
The conclusion of the appraiser is that the total monthly rental value of the properties was ISK 1870000 in October 2005.
Sastavljeno u Bruxellesu 26. travnja 2017.
However, in accordance with the 2005 General Lease Agreement the monthly rental fee for ÍG was set at ISK 2000000, recalculated monthly in accordance with the consumer price index [42].
Za Nadzorno tijelo EFTA-e
The fee paid monthly by ÍG is thus higher than the market rental price according to the expert valuation.
Predsjednik
Having taken into account all of the above, the Authority considers that the 2005 General Lease Agreement was not entered into below market price.
Član Kolegija
Finally, the Authority notes that neither the comparison to the property located at Sævarhöfði 31 nor the valuation prepared by 101 Reykjavík Fasteignasala take into account the special obligations contained in the rental agreements, in particular the short notice period (which has now been evoked) and the various maintenance obligations.
Odluka br. 261/15/COL o pokretanju službenog istražnog postupka o mogućoj državnoj potpori dodijeljenoj na temelju najma zemlje i nekretnine na području Gufunes, objavljena u SL C 316, 24.9.2015., str. 22. i Dodatku o EGP-u br. 57, 24.9.2015., str. 21.
The financial impact of these obligations on the rental price are difficult to quantify.
Dokumenti br. 704341 – 704343.
However, they inherently favour the City at the expense of ÍG, further comforting the Authority's conclusion that the 2005 General Lease Agreement was concluded on market terms.
Dokument br. 774957.
In light of the above, the Authority concludes that ÍG did not receive an economic advantage from the rental agreements.
Dokument br. 778453.
CONCLUSION
Dokument br. 781877.
Based on the above assessment, the Authority considers that the rental agreements concluded between the City and ÍG concerning the lease of the Gufunes area do not entail state aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.
