Main offer
Naziv trgovačkog društva
Variant offer [10]
Ponuđena cijena zakupa
The evaluation of received offers was made by Ríkiskaup, following an assessment conducted by the independent consulting firm Mannvit.
Kriteriji za dodjelu: ukupan broj bodova
According to information from Ríkiskaup and Mannvit, all four companies submitting bids were found to have met the required technical capacity to perform the project, as well as the general requirements set out in the invitation to tender regarding the personal and financial situation of the candidates for the project.
Glavna ponuda
However, Mannvit made a reservation regarding the proposal from Hringiðan.
Ponuda s varijantnim rješenjima [10]
According to that proposal, the project was to be performed by an undertaking to be founded by Hringiðan.
Evaluaciju zaprimljenih ponuda izvršio je Ríkiskaup nakon ocjenjivanja koje je obavila neovisna konzultantska tvrtka Mannvit.
Mannvit did not consider it possible to assess the capacity — both financial and technical — of this undertaking, which at the time had not been established.
Prema informacijama Ríkiskaupa i Mannvita za sva četiri trgovačka društva koja su podnijela ponude utvrđeno je da imaju potreban tehnički kapacitet za provođenje projekta te da ispunjuju opće zahtjeve utvrđene u pozivu na podnošenje ponuda u pogledu osobnog i financijskog stanja kandidata za provedbu projekta.
According to the terms of the tender, Hringiðan's offer could therefore be excluded.
Međutim, Mannvit je izrazio zadršku u pogledu ponude društva Hringiðan.
Mannvit simulated the effect of an exclusion of Hringiðan's offer on the result of the tender, but found that there was no impact as Hringiðan's offer was not amongst the top two bids and was therefore in any event unsuccessful.
Prema toj ponudi projekt je trebalo provoditi poduzeće koje će osnovati društvo Hringiðan.
As set out in Table 2, the two companies scoring the highest on the basis of the award criteria were Fjarski ehf.
Mannvit je smatrao da nije moguće ocijeniti financijsku i tehničku sposobnost tog društva, koje u tom trenutku nije bilo osnovano.
(92,18 points) and Vodafone (89,67 points).
U skladu s natječajnim uvjetima ponuda društva Hringiðan stoga se mogla isključiti.
Negotiations were entered into with those two companies.
Mannvit je simulirao utjecaj isključivanja ponude društva Hringiðan na rezultat natječaja, ali je utvrdio da nema utjecaja jer ponuda društva Hringiðan nije bila među dvije najbolje ponude i stoga bi u svakom slučaju bila neuspješna.
Fjarski ehf., however, decided to pull out of the project.
(92,18 bodova) i Vodafone (89,67 bodova).
A lease contract was therefore negotiated with Vodafone and for only one of the two fibres.
Započeti su pregovori s ta dva trgovačka društva.
CONTRACT BETWEEN THE ICELANDIC DEFENCE AGENCY AND VODAFONE
Stoga je sklopljen ugovor o zakupu s društvom Vodafone i to samo za jedno od dva vlakna.
The annual lease is set at ISK 19150000 (excluding VAT), indexed according to the building cost index as from June 2008.
U ugovoru koji je sklopljen 1. veljače 2010. između društva Vodafone i islandske Obrambene agencije („Varnarmálastofnun”) predviđena je uporaba optičkog vlakna koje je dio optičkog kabla od osam vlakana duljine otprilike 1850 km koji okružuje Island.
The term of the contract is 10 years.
U ugovoru je navedeno da je predmetno vlakno upisano na evidencijski popis NATO-a.
The contract states that the fibre at issue was registered on NATO's inventory list.
U skladu s člankom 16.
Under Article 16 of the Defence Act No 34/2008, the lessor was entitled, on behalf of the State and of NATO, to conclude a lease for the use of such facilities.
Zakona o obrani br. 34/2008., zakupodavac je imao pravo sklopiti ugovor o zakupu za uporabu takvih objekata, u ime države i NATO-a.
Provisions to this effect are found in Article 8 of the contract.
Odredbe o tome nalaze se u članku 8. ugovora.
Accordingly, the method of evaluation of the submitted tenders, as summarised in Table 1, effectively excluded Míla from the tender.
U skladu s time, načinom evaluacije podnesenih ponuda, koji je sažet u tablici 1., društvo Míla zapravo je isključeno iz natječaja.
By multiplying the tariff with the length of the cable, according to the lease with Vodafone, about 1850 km, the complainant concludes that the rent for a fibre of that length according to the tariff should be ISK 107137200 per year.
Množenjem tarife s duljinom kabela, u skladu s ugovorom o zakupu sklopljenim s društvom Vodafone, od otprilike 1850 km, podnositelj pritužbe zaključuje da bi iznos zakupnine vlakna takve duljine u skladu s tarifom trebao iznositi 107137200 ISK godišnje.
It is recalled that according to point 1.2.4 of the invitation to tender of April 2008, the Icelandic State's cost of operation and maintenance of each of the two fibres to be leased out was estimated at about ISK 19000000 per year [17].
Podsjećamo da je u skladu s točkom 1.2.4. poziva na podnošenje ponuda iz travnja 2008. procijenjeni trošak islandske države za rad i održavanje svakog od dvaju vlakana koja su se trebala dati u zakup iznosio otprilike 19000000 ISK godišnje.
In the opinion of the Icelandic authorities, as a result of the successful call for tenders the measure does not involve any type of state financing.
[17]
On the contrary, the measures produce revenue for the State from leasing out fibres which the State would otherwise have had to continue to maintain through state resources.
Islandska nadležna tijela smatraju da mjera, budući da je rezultat uspješnog poziva na podnošenje ponuda, ne uključuje nikakvu vrstu državnog financiranja.
Furthermore, the Icelandic authorities point out that the restrictions stemming from the ownership of NATO and NATO's priority of use during war times mean that the price may have been lower than if no such restriction had existed.
Čak nasuprot, mjerama se državi omogućuje da ostvari prihod od davanja u zakup vlakana koja bi inače morala nastaviti održavati državnim sredstvima.
This factor would have affected all the tenderers in the same way, and the market price had to adjust to that fact [18].
Nadalje, islandska nadležna tijela tvrde da ograničenja koja proizlaze iz NATO-ova vlasništva i prednosti koju NATO ima za uporabu za vrijeme rata upućuju na to je cijena mogla biti niža da nije bilo takvih ograničenja.
The Icelandic authorities were of the opinion that neither the application of the award criterion on stimulation of competition nor the alleged effective exclusion of an undertaking holding a monopoly position on the market could, as such, lead to the conclusion that the measure distorts competition or confers an advantage upon an undertaking.
Taj čimbenik utjecao bi na sve ponuditelje na isti način i stoga je tržišnu cijenu trebalo prilagoditi toj činjenici.
According to the Icelandic authorities, the Government was fully authorised to use multiple award criteria.
[18]
Moreover, the criteria were legitimate and pursued important objectives aimed at enhancing competition and ensuring good services to the general public.
Islandska nadležna tijela smatrala su da ni primjena kriterija za dodjelu koji se odnosi na poticanje tržišnog natjecanja niti navodno isključivanje poduzeća koje ima monopolistički položaj na tržištu ne mogu dovesti do zaključka da se mjerom narušava tržišno natjecanje ili da se nekom poduzeću dodjeljuje prednost.
Finally, the Icelandic authorities submitted that, in the event that the Authority would consider the measure to constitute state aid, such aid could be considered compatible with Article 61(3) of the EEA Agreement, by reference to the objectives of the measure, including the objective of increasing public broadband access in assisted areas.
Islandska nadležna tijela tvrde da je vlada imala ovlasti upotrebljavati višestruke kriterije za dodjelu.
In this regard, the Icelandic authorities also invited the Authority to assess whether such aid should be considered to constitute the financing of services of general economic interest (‘SGEI’), as referred to in Chapter 2.2.2 of the Authority's Broadband Guidelines [19].
Nadalje, kriteriji su bili legitimni i njima su se nastojali ostvariti važni ciljevi usmjereni na jačanje tržišnog natjecanja i osiguravanje pružanja dobrih usluga općoj javnosti.
DECISION No 410/12/COL AND THE EFTA COURT JUDGMENT IN CASE E-1/13
Naposljetku, islandska nadležna tijela tvrdila su da bi se, ako bi Tijelo smatralo da mjera čini državnu potporu, takva potpora mogla smatrati spojivom s člankom 61. stavkom 3.
On 21 November 2012, the Authority adopted Decision No 410/12/COL concluding that the measure did not involve state aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.
Sporazuma o EGP-u upućujući na ciljeve te mjere, uključujući cilj povećanja javnog širokopojasnog pristupa u potpomognutim područjima.
The Authority considered that the lease for the use and operation of the optical fibre did not involve state aid, as the lease contract was established by means of the use of an open tender capable of establishing market terms and therefore did not confer an economic advantage on Vodafone.
U tom smislu islandska nadležna tijela pozvala su Tijelo da ocijeni treba li se smatrati da takva potpora čini financiranje usluga od općeg gospodarskog interesa („SGEI”) kako je navedeno u poglavlju 2.2.2.
On 27 January 2014, the EFTA Court annulled the Authority's Decision No 410/12/COL.
Smjernica Tijela o širokopojasnim mrežama.
The Court concluded that the Authority should have opened a formal investigation procedure, as the Authority had at its disposal information and evidence which should, objectively, have raised doubts or serious difficulties regarding whether the lease agreement conferred an economic advantage on Vodafone [20].
[19]
The Court considered that the Authority should have had doubts as to whether the price agreed as a result of the tender was a reflection of a true market price for the lease of such an asset.
5.
In particular, the Court held that the award criteria in the tender did not reflect what a private investor would consider relevant when tendering out a lease and that it was apparent that the Authority had not assessed all circumstances and consequences for the applicability of a market economy investor test.
ODLUKA br. 410/12/COL I PRESUDA SUDA EFTA-E U PREDMETU E-1/13
The award criteria other than price appeared to reflect public policy or regulatory considerations, which a private investor would not consider relevant.
Tijelo je 21. studenoga 2012. donijelo Odluku br. 410/12/COL u kojoj je zaključilo da mjera ne uključuje državnu potporu u smislu članka 61. stavka 1.
The tender procedure did not use price or leasing charge as a sole or main award criterion.
Sporazuma o EGP-u.
The EFTA Court furthermore considered that the Authority had not assessed the likelihood of NATO using its priority rights to make use of the fibre and the probability that NATO would use its right of reversal.
Tijelo je smatralo da zakup optičkog vlakna za uporabu i upravljanje njegovim radom ne uključuje državnu potporu jer je ugovor o zakupu sklopljen na temelju otvorenog natječajnog postupka u kojem su se mogli uspostaviti tržišni uvjeti i stoga se društvu Vodafone nije osigurala gospodarska prednost.
On the basis of, inter alia, the above, the Court concluded that there existed consistent and objective evidence that the Authority had not examined in a complete and sufficient manner whether the lease contract involved state aid and, if so, whether the aid was compatible with the EEA Agreement.
Sud EFTA-e poništio je 27. siječnja 2014.
DECISION No 299/12/COL TO INITIATE THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE
Odluku Tijela br. 410/12/COL.
On 16 July 2014, the Authority decided to initiate the formal investigation procedure into potential state aid granted through the lease of the NATO optical fibre.
Sud je zaključio da je Tijelo trebalo pokrenuti službeni istražni postupak jer je imalo na raspolaganju informacije i dokaze koji su trebali dovesti do sumnji ili ozbiljnih poteškoća u vezi s time je li se ugovorom o zakupu osigurala gospodarska prednost društvu Vodafone.
In its Decision, the Authority stated that based on the information submitted by the complainant and the Icelandic authorities, it could not exclude the possibility that the contract concluded on 1 February 2010 by the Icelandic Defence Agency with Vodafone Iceland might involve state aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.
[20]
The Authority further stated that based on the available information it also had doubts as to the compatibility of the potential aid with the functioning of the EEA Agreement.
Sud je smatrao da je Tijelo trebalo sumnjati zasniva li se cijena dogovorena na temelju natječaja na stvarnoj tržišnoj cijeni za zakup takve imovine.
COMMENTS BY THE ICELANDIC AUTHORITIES TO THE OPENING DECISION [21]
Sud je posebno smatrao da se kriteriji za dodjelu u natječaju nisu temeljili na onome što bi privatni ulagatelj smatrao relevantnim kod davanja u zakup te da je očito da Tijelo nije ocijenilo sve okolnosti i posljedice za primjenjivost testa subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
In their reply to the opening of the formal investigation, the Icelandic authorities argue that the case concerns the opening up of a sector previously monopolised by a state-owned enterprise and later, after privatisation and sale, by Míla.
Činilo se da se svi kriteriji za dodjelu osim cijene temelje na javnoj politici ili regulatornim pitanjima, što privatni ulagatelj ne bi smatrao relevantnim.
The necessary network and infrastructure, i.e. the optical fibre, could not have been realistically duplicated by any of the competitors of Míla.
U natječajnom postupku cijena ili naknada za zakup nije se upotrebljavala kao jedini ili glavni kriteriji za dodjelu.
The sector is highly important to the general public and its access to information.
Sud EFTA-e dalje je smatrao da Tijelo nije uzelo u obzir vjerojatnost da će NATO iskoristiti svoje pravo prednosti na korištenje vlaknom i vjerojatnost da će NATO iskoristiti svoje pravo raskida ugovora.
The case also concerns access and provision of services to rural and sparsely populated areas in Iceland.
Na temelju navedenog, među ostalim, Sud je zaključio da postoje dosljedni i objektivni dokazi da Tijelo nije potpuno i dovoljno ispitalo uključuje li ugovor o zakupu državnu potporu i, ako uključuje, je li ta potpora spojiva sa Sporazumom o EGP-u.
The unique characteristics of the case relate to the complex ownership issues and the relevance of restrictions due to the role of the fibre in the defence mechanism and crisis management of Iceland and other members of NATO.
6.
The main aim of the measures of the Icelandic authorities was to limit public expenditure relating to the operation of the fibre.
ODLUKA br. 299/12/COL O POKRETANJU SLUŽBENOG ISTRAŽNOG POSTUPKA
Otherwise, all steps taken were aimed at contributing to increased competition in the sector.
Tijelo je 16. srpnja 2014. odlučilo pokrenuti službeni istražni postupak u vezi s mogućom državnom potporom dodijeljenom davanjem u zakup NATO-ovih optičkih vlakana.
The measures were successful and the general public, as well as private and public entities that rely heavily on telecommunication throughout Iceland, now enjoy more competition and better service.
Tijelo je u svojoj odluci navelo da na temelju informacija koje su dostavili podnositelj pritužbe i islandska nadležna tijela nije moglo isključiti mogućnost da bi ugovor koji je islandska Obrambena agencija sklopila 1. veljače 2010. s društvom Vodafone mogao uključivati državnu potporu u smislu članka 61. stavka 1.
Certain limitations were introduced to promote competition on equal ground, all with the final purpose of ensuring that the general public would receive as good and cheap service as possible.
Sporazuma o EGP-u.
The Icelandic authorities reiterate the view expressed previously that the measure does not involve state aid.
Tijelo je dalje izjavilo da s obzirom na dostupne informacije sumnja u spojivost moguće potpore s funkcioniranjem Sporazuma o EGP-u.
In addition, they put forward the arguments outlined below.
PRIMJEDBE ISLANDSKIH NADLEŽNIH TIJELA NA ODLUKU O POKRETANJU POSTUPKA [21]
State resources, the influence of the ownership of the cable and implication for advantage
U svojem odgovoru na odluku o pokretanju službenog istražnog postupka islandska nadležna tijela tvrde da se predmet odnosi na otvaranje sektora u kojem je prethodno vladao monopol poduzeća u državnom vlasništvu a kasnije, nakon privatizacije, društva Míla.
While Iceland does not contest that state resources can be deemed to be transferred by other means than direct distribution of state-owned funds by the State itself to other entities, they underline that this must be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Jednaku potrebnu mrežu i infrastrukturu, odnosno, optička vlakna, ne bi mogao izgraditi niti jedan od konkurenata društva Míla.
In this context, the Icelandic authorities request the Authority to consider in particular that the ‘resource’ (i.e. the fibre) is not owned by the Icelandic State or any of its entities.
Sektor je od velike važnosti za opću javnost i njezin pristup informacijama.
The resource was financed, constructed and is permanently owned by a third party, i.e. NATO.
Predmet se odnosi i na pristup uslugama u ruralnim i rijetko naseljenim područjima Islanda te na pružanje tih usluga.
The arrangements between NATO and the Icelandic authorities are based on the no-cost no-gain principle.
Jedinstvene značajke predmeta odnose se na složena pitanja vlasništva i na relevantnost ograničenja zbog uloge vlakna u obrambenom mehanizmu i upravljanju krizom u Islandu i drugim članicama NATO-a.
This means that any proceeds from the leasing of the fibre will first be used to pay for operational costs and minor repairs.
Mjere islandskih nadležnih tijela bile su u prvom redu usmjerene na ograničavanje javnih rashoda povezanih s upravljanjem vlaknom.
Article 16 of the Icelandic Defence Act No 34/2008 reflects this arrangement and further explains that any assets falling under this category are subject to rules of security and priority rights of NATO.
Svi poduzeti koraci bili su usmjereni na povećanje tržišnog natjecanja u sektoru.
Moreover, if revenue exceeds those costs, any remainder is to be returned to the owner of the fibre, NATO.
Mjere su bile uspješne i opća javnost, kao i privatna i javna tijela koja se u velikoj mjeri oslanjaju na telekomunikacijske veze u cijelom Islandu, sada imaju koristi od više tržišnog natjecanja i boljih usluga.
If costs exceed revenue, or in case of major repairs or replacements due to force majeure incidents, the Icelandic authorities are not liable for the relevant costs.
Uvedena su određena ograničenja u cilju promicanja tržišnog natjecanja pod jednakim uvjetima čija je krajnja svrha osigurati da se općoj javnosti pružaju najbolje i najjeftinije usluge.
Rather, the cost of repairs to the cable is shared between the fibres' owners according to their respective number of fibres, i.e. Míla (5/8) and NATO (3/8).
Islandska nadležna tijela ponavljaju prethodno izraženo stajalište da mjera ne uključuje državnu potporu.
Hence, any private vendor test is not directly applicable to the present case, as the Icelandic authorities have no economic interest in achieving a rental income above the operation and maintenance costs of the fibre.
Nadalje, ističu argumente opisane u nastavku.
The tender documents stipulate that access to the fibre was contingent upon various other issues than the lease and the lease price.
Državna sredstva, utjecaj vlasništva nad kablom i utjecaj na prednost
According to clause 2.3 it was for the lessee to obtain necessary facilities and assembly points to the fibre.
Dok Island ne osporava da se može smatrati da su državna sredstva prenesena drugim sredstvima koja ne uključuju izravni prijenos državnih sredstava koji je izvršila sama država prema drugim subjektima, ističe da se to mora ocjenjivati za svaki slučaj posebno.
The Icelandic State did not even guarantee that the lessee would have access to such facilities.
U tom kontekstu islandska nadležna tijela traže od Tijela da posebno uzme u obzir da „resurs” (tj. vlakno) nije u vlasništvu islandske države ili njezinih subjekata.
Furthermore, clause 2.7 stipulated that the lessee shall return the fibre in principle in the same condition as when it received it, but where the lessee has made amendments, the lessors shall acquire such amendments free of charge at the end of the contract period.
Resurs je financirala i izgradila treća stranka, odnosno NATO, i on je u njezinu trajnom vlasništvu.
Access to the fibre had to be negotiated with Míla, which owned the facilities needed to operate the fibre.
Sporazumi između NATO-a i islandskih nadležnih tijela temelje se na načelu bez troška i bez koristi.
Eventually, the Icelandic Post and Telecom Administration (‘PTA’) issued two rulings instructing Míla, as a dominant market operator, to grant Vodafone access to the connection points for a reasonable fee.
To znači da će se sav prihod od iznajmljivanja vlakna prvo upotrijebiti za plaćanje operativnih troškova ili manjih popravaka.
The Icelandic authorities submit evidence from Vodafone regarding Vodafone's additional costs in obtaining access to the fibre [22].
Članak 16. islandskog Zakona o obrani br. 34/2008 temelji se na tom sporazumu i u njemu je dalje objašnjeno da se na svu imovinu iz te kategorije primjenjuju pravila sigurnosti i pravila o prednosti NATO-a.
Vodafone's investment costs in equipment, optic trunks and initial fees to Míla amount to ISK 130 million.
Nadalje, ako prihodi budu veći od tih troškova, ostatak se vraća vlasniku vlakna, odnosno NATO-u.
In addition there are annual license fees for the equipment of ISK 7,5 million.
Ako troškovi budu veći od prihoda, ili u slučaju manjih popravaka ili zamjena zbog više sile, islandska nadležna tijela nisu odgovorna za povezane troškove.
This expenditure comes in addition to the annual rental charge of ISK 19,15 million, which is linked to a price index.
Trošak popravka kablova dijele vlasnici vlakana u skladu s brojem vlakana u njihovu vlasništvu, odnosno društvo Míla (5/8) i NATO (3/8).
Furthermore, Vodafone pays to the Icelandic Coast Guard (‘LHG’) a monthly fee of ISK 15000 for each connection point beyond the ones covered in the existing agreement with LHG.
Stoga test privatnog prodavatelja nije izravno primjenjiv na ovaj slučaj jer islandska nadležna tijela nemaju gospodarski interes da ostvare prihod od zakupa koji je veći od troškova rada i održavanja vlakna.
This demonstrates that the ‘resources’ in this case are not owned by the state, the financial gain of the lease is shared with the real owner according to the no-cost no-gain principle and that the Icelandic authorities did not have authority to grant potential investors full access to the fibre.
U natječajnoj dokumentaciji propisano je da je pristup vlaknu ovisio o raznim drugim pitanjima koja nisu povezana sa zakupom i cijenom zakupa.
These facts are important: firstly for the assessment of whether state resources were transferred, secondly when considering the tender procedure and thirdly they affect the commercial drivers for the appropriate lease price.
U skladu s odredbom 2.3. zakupoprimac je bio dužan pribaviti nužne objekte i priključne točke na vlakno.
Finally, the facts demonstrate that the comparison between a hypothetical commercial actor on the market and the state is almost impossible, as no market participant could have been in a comparable situation.
Islandska država nije zajamčila da će zakupoprimac imati pristup takvim objektima.
The NATO restrictions discussed below and the complex ownership and distribution of revenue would be completely alien to a normal market operator.
Nadalje, u odredbi 2.7. predviđeno je da će zakupoprimac vratiti vlakno u načelu u istom stanju kakvo je bilo kada ga je zaprimio.
The NATO restrictions and probabilities of exercise
Međutim, ako je učinio neke izmjene, te izmjene besplatno preuzima zakupodavac na kraju ugovornog razdoblja.
