In fact the concept of aid granted through State resources serves to bring within the scope of Article 107(1) of the Treaty not only aid granted directly by the State, but also aid granted by public or private bodies designated or established by the State.
Komisija smatra i da je odredba prema kojoj pojedinačne naknade za upotrebu mreže koje plaćaju netipični korisnici mreže ne smiju biti niže od 20 % objavljenih naknada za upotrebu mreže sastavni dio pravila kojima se uređuju naknade za upotrebu mreže na temelju StromNEV-a.
This line of reasoning was also applied in Essent.
Prvo, taj minimalni doprinos oduvijek je bio zahtjev koji mora ispuniti skupina netipičnih korisnika mreže iz prve rečenice članka 19. stavka 2.
In that case, the Court of Justice had to assess a law which provided that the operators of the Dutch electricity network had to collect a price surcharge on electricity consumed by private electricity clients and pass on the proceeds of that surcharge to SEP, a joint subsidiary of the four electricity generators, in order to compensate the latter for so-called ‘stranded costs’.
StromNEV-a, a posebno je bio primjenjiv od 2011. do 2013. (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 21. ove Odluke).
This surcharge had to be transmitted by network operators to SEP which had to collect the proceeds and use them up to a certain amount defined in the law for the purposes of covering stranded costs.
Drugo, primjenjivao se i na potrošače baznog opterećenja u skladu sa StromNEV-om iz 2010. (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 20. ove Odluke).
In this regard, the Court observed that SEP had been appointed by the law to manage a State resource.
Naposljetku, kako je Njemačka objasnila (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 20.), minimalna naknada za upotrebu mreže od 20 % koju plaćaju netipični krajnji korisnici, kao što su potrošači baznog opterećenja, jest mjera zaštite koja osigurava da netipični potrošači minimalno nadoknade koristi koje proizlaze iz priključenja na mrežu.
The Court found that the Dutch system involved State resources.
Kad je riječ o potrošačima baznog opterećenja, minimalnim doprinosom od 20 % uzima se u obzir činjenica da metodologija fizičke putanje, iako vrlo dobro odražava troškove mreže koje uzrokuju potrošači baznog opterećenja, i dalje u određenoj mjeri rezultira približnim iznosima.
On the basis of this case-law, it can be concluded that subsidies financed through parafiscal charges or contributions imposed by the State and managed and apportioned in accordance with the provisions of the legislation imply a transfer of State resources, even where they are not administered by public authorities but by private entities designated by the State that are separate from the public authorities.
Odstupanje od referentnog sustava
This has been confirmed by the Court of Justice in the Vent de Colère case where the Court in particular observed that the fact that part of the funds collected were not channelled to the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations but were retained by the undertakings subject to the obligation to purchase renewable electricity at feed-in tariffs was not sufficient to exclude an intervention through State resources.
No Komisija smatra da je potpuno izuzeće uvedeno Zakonom od 26. srpnja 2011. u suprotnosti s konceptom pojedinačnih naknada za upotrebu mreže iz točke 3. prve rečenice članka 24.
The Court of Justice excluded the transfer of State resources in only very specific circumstances: For instance, the Court considered that a decision by which a national authority extends to all traders in a certain sector an agreement which introduces the levying of a contribution in an inter-trade organisation recognised by that national authority, thus rendering that contribution compulsory, in order to make it possible to implement certain promotional and public relations activities, does not constitute State aid.
EnWG-a iz 2011. prema kojoj netipični oblici upotrebe mreže mogu biti podložni pojedinačnim naknadama za upotrebu mreže.
The Court noted in this respect that the measure was not financed from State resources since it was not the State but the inter-trade organisation that decided how to use the resources stemming from the levy.
U skladu s načelom stvarnog troška te načelom proporcionalnosti i nediskriminacije naknada za upotrebu mreže podrazumijeva se da se naknade za upotrebu mreže utvrđuju na temelju pojedinačnih troškova mreže koji se mogu pripisati pojedinom korisniku mreže.
Those resources were entirely dedicated to pursuing objectives determined by that organisation.
Potpuno izuzeće od naknada za upotrebu mreže stoga bi bilo u skladu s tim načelima samo da se pokazalo da potrošači baznog opterećenja ne uzrokuju nikakve troškove mreže.
Hence, the resources were not constantly under public control and were not available to State authorities.
No to nije dokazano.
In PreussenElektra, the Court found that the Electricity feed-in Act (Stromeinspeisungsgesetz), in its version applicable in 1998, did not involve a public or private body established or appointed to administer the aid.
Upravo suprotno, potrošači baznog opterećenja uzrokuju troškove mreže, posebno kada se tek priključe na postojeću mrežu jer bi zbog njihova priključenja možda trebalo povećati kapacitet te mreže.
This conclusion was based on the observation that the Stromeinspeisungsgesetz put in place a mechanism that was limited at directly obliging electricity supply undertakings and upstream electricity network operators to purchase renewable electricity at a fixed price, without any body administering the stream of payments.
Slično tome, kada mreža još nije izgrađena, trebalo bi je projektirati tako da može zadovoljiti barem potražnju potrošača baznog opterećenja.
The situation under the Stromeinspeisungsgesetz was characterized by a multitude of bilateral relationships between renewable electricity generators and electricity suppliers.
To su prepoznali i njemački regionalni sudovi i Savezni sud.
There was no surcharge established by the State to compensate the electricity suppliers for the financial burden resulting from the supply obligation.
Izričito su zaključili da je potpuno izuzeće u suprotnosti s člankom 24.
Therefore, nobody had been appointed to administer such a surcharge and the corresponding financial flows.
EnWG-a iz 2011. (vidjeti uvodne izjave 52. i 52. ove Odluke).
By contrast, the Court indicated in the Vent de Colère case that the French support system was different from the situation examined in the PreussenElektra case in two respects: In PreussenElektra the private undertakings concerned had not been appointed by the Member State concerned to manage a State resource, but were bound by an obligation to purchase by means of their own financial resources.
Treba napomenuti i da su se od 2011. do 2013. na drugu kategoriju netipičnih korisnika mreže iz prve rečenice članka 19. stavka 2.
In addition, in PreussenElektra there was no mechanism established and regulated by the State for offsetting additional costs arising from the purchase obligation and through which the State offered the private operators bound by the obligation to purchase the certain prospect that the additional costs would be covered in full.
StromNEV-a i dalje primjenjivale pojedinačne naknade za upotrebu mreže izračunane na temelju njihova pojedinačnog profila opterećenja (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 21. ove Odluke).
The Court has recently confirmed this differentiated approach to the assessment of State resources.
Potpunim izuzećem potrošača baznog opterećenja stoga je došlo do diskriminacije ostalih skupina netipičnih korisnika mreže na koje su se i dalje primjenjivale pojedinačne naknade za upotrebu mreže i svih drugih krajnjih korisnika jer ono odstupa od načela stvarnog troška i proporcionalnosti naknada za upotrebu mreže.
In the ENEA S.A. case, the Court ruled that a national measure placing an obligation on both private and public undertakings to purchase electricity produced by cogeneration does not constitute an intervention by the State or through State resources when the extra costs resulting from that purchase obligation cannot be passed on entirely to end users and are not financed by a compulsory contribution imposed by the State or by a full offset mechanism.
Napominje se da su prije uvođenja potpunog izuzeća 2011. potrošači baznog opterećenja plaćali pojedinačne naknade za upotrebu mreže koje su se utvrđivale tako da se uzelo u obzir smanjenje troškova mreže ili ublažavanje povećanja troškova mreže do kojih je došlo zahvaljujući potrošačima baznog opterećenja.
In light of those principles, for the purposes of examining whether the financing of the full exemption, as resulting from the second sentence of Paragraph 19(2) of the StromNEV 2011, involves State resources, it is necessary to differentiate between the financing of the full exemption in 2011 and the financing of that exemption during the years 2012 and 2013, that is to say following the introduction of the § 19-surcharge.
No te pojedinačne naknade za upotrebu mreže nisu smjele biti niže od 20 % objavljenih naknada za upotrebu mreže.
Financing through State resources after the BNetzA imposed the Paragraph 19-surcharge (years 2012 and 2013)
Kako bi se izračunali ti troškovi, agencija BNetzA utvrdila je metodologiju fizičke putanje (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 19.).
Based on the compensation mechanism provided for in the sixth and the seventh sentence of Paragraph 19(2) of the StromNEV 2011 described under section 2.4 of this Decision, the BNetzA imposed by regulatory decision of 14 December 2011 on the DSO the obligation to collect from end users the Paragraph 19-surcharge and to transfer the proceeds from this surcharge to the TSO on a monthly basis.
Komisija smatra da je ta metodologija pouzdana metodologija za utvrđivanje približnih troškova koje su prouzročili potrošači baznog opterećenja od 2011. do 2013. s obzirom na onodobne značajke elektroenergetskog sustava.
In recitals 49 to 84 of the Opening Decision, the Commission indicated why it considered that the full exemption had to be regarded as financed from State resources.
Tom se metodologijom utvrđuju naknade za upotrebu mreže na temelju troškova koji se mogu pripisati potrošaču baznog opterećenja, odnosno kapitalni troškovi i fiksni operativni troškovi povezani s dijelom mreže koji potrošača baznog opterećenja povezuje s najbližom elektranom baznog opterećenja koja de facto može pokriti njegovu sveukupnu potražnju.
Those reasons can be summarized as follows:
Iako je istina da ta metoda dovodi do različitih naknada za upotrebu mreže ovisno o lokaciji potrošača baznog opterećenja na mreži, što je u svojoj primjedbi navela jedna zainteresirana strana, to je upravo i svrha pojedinačnih naknada za upotrebu mreže, odnosno provjera troškova koje svaki potrošač baznog opterećenja zasebno uzrokuje u mreži.
the full exemption corresponds to a policy of the State;
Ako je potrošač baznog opterećenja udaljeniji od elektrane baznog opterećenja, to znači i da će upotrebljavati znatno veći dio mreže za prijenos električne energije od elektrane koja ima dostatan kapacitet da de facto pokrije njegovu potražnju.
the network operators are being provided a guarantee in the law that the financial losses resulting from the full exemption will be fully compensated through a surcharge on the electricity consumption of network users; that is to say they do not need to finance the exemption from their own financial means;
Opravdana je i činjenica da se fizička putanja računa uzimajući u obzir elektranu koja pokriva sveukupnu potražnju potrošača baznog opterećenja.
the TSO have been entrusted with the management of the financial flows resulting from the exemption and the Paragraph 19-surcharge;
Da elektrana pokriva samo dio potražnje potrošača baznog opterećenja, to bi značilo da on upotrebljava nekoliko dijelova mreže kako bi pokrio svoju potražnju i stoga uzrokuje veće troškove mreže.
the TSO are not free to use the proceeds of the surcharge as they wish given that the Paragraph 19-surcharge must be limited to the financial losses resulting from the exemption; any excess revenues resulting from the surcharge must be deducted from the surcharges to be paid in following years;
Kad je riječ o činjenici da hidroelektrane nisu uključene u kategoriju elektrana baznog opterećenja u okviru metodologije fizičke putanje, napominje se da se u smjernicama agencije BNetzA iz 2010. navedenima u prethodnoj uvodnoj izjavi 19. hidroelektrane ubrajaju u elektrane baznog opterećenja.
the Paragraph 19-surcharge does not correspond to the payment for a service or a good.
Osim toga, u metodologiji fizičke putanje uzimaju se u obzir i gubitci u mreži i sve mrežne usluge koje je upotrebljavao potrošač baznog opterećenja ako postoje.
The Commission does not share the view expressed by both Germany and the interested parties that the full exemption could not be regarded as financed through State resources because the financial resources that finance the exemption would not transit through the State budget.
Prikladnost metodologije fizičke putanje za utvrđivanje troškova mreže koje uzrokuju potrošači baznog opterećenja potvrdio je i Savezni sud 2016..
As recalled in recitals 125 to 129 of this Decision, the Court has repeatedly ruled that the concept of State resources can also be fulfilled if the aid is financed through private means, which are imposed by the State and managed and apportioned in accordance with the provisions of the legislation.
Komisija stoga smatra da je drukčije postupanje s netipičnim korisnicima (tj. izvanvršnim potrošačima i potrošačima baznog opterećenja) u usporedbi s ostalim korisnicima mreže sastavni dio referentnog sustava i da se odražava u njegovoj strukturi sve dok se temelji na konceptu pojedinačnih naknada za upotrebu mreže koje se mogu pripisati određenom korisniku mreže.
According to the Court, such a financing scheme implies a transfer of State resources, despite the fact that those resources are not administered by the public authorities but by private entities designated by the State that are separate from the public authorities
No potpuno izuzeće koje je bilo na snazi od 2011. do 2013. odstupa od utvrđivanja pojedinačnih naknada za upotrebu mreže koje se primjenjuje na netipične korisnike jer se ne temelji na pojedinačnom utvrđivanju troškova koje uzrokuje potrošač baznog opterećenja.
The Commission considers that the losses in revenue resulting from the full exemption from network charges in 2012 and 2013 were passed on entirely to end users by a full offset mechanism financed by a compulsory contribution imposed on them by the State.
Iako su izvanvršni potrošači i potrošači baznog opterećenja s obzirom na cilj sustava naknada za upotrebu mreže u usporedivoj činjeničnoj i pravnoj situaciji (netipični korisnici za koje objavljene naknade za upotrebu mreže od 2011. do 2013. ne bi odražavale troškove mreže koje su prouzročili), s njima se postupalo na različite načine.
As described in recitals 35 to 39 of this Decision, the legal framework in place in 2012 and 2013 provided for a financing mechanism that would offset the losses in revenue encountered by the network operator to which the exempted baseload consumers was connected.
Osim toga, potpuno izuzeće odstupa i od referentnog sustava jer ne obvezuje potrošače baznog opterećenja da plaćaju najmanje 20 % objavljenih naknada za upotrebu mreže, što je obveza ostalih netipičnih korisnika, točnije izvanvršnih korisnika.
The TSO were obliged to compensate the DSO for their losses in revenue and equalise this additional financial burden amongst them.
Ta razlika u postupanju smatra se diskriminacijom jer ne postoji razlog za izuzeće potrošača baznog opterećenja od tog zahtjeva.
Pursuant to the regulatory decision of the BNetzA of 14 December 2011 adopted on the basis of Paragraph 29(1) of the EnWG and point 6 of Paragraph 30(2) of the StromNEV 2011, the TSO were compensated for this financial burden through the Paragraph 19-surcharge.
Konkretno, ne postoji razlog zašto bi pojedinačne naknade za upotrebu mreže primjenjive na izvanvršne potrošače sadržavale mjeru zaštite, a za potrošače baznog opterećenja ne jer je poznato da potrošači baznog opterećenja, baš kao i izvanvršni potrošači, imaju koristi od priključenja na mrežu.
The BNetzA itself has explained in its decision of 14 December 2011 that the Paragraph 19-surcharge had a special purpose, namely to compensate TSO for their financial losses, and therefore did not correspond to a general network charge but rather constituted ‘another charge’ within the meaning of Paragraph 17(8) of the StromNEV, that has to be collected separately from the general network charges.
Koncept potpore ne obuhvaća mjere zbog kojih dolazi do različitog postupanja s poduzetnicima u pogledu naknada kada se to različito postupanje može pripisati prirodi i općoj strukturi sustava predmetnih naknada.
The Paragraph 19-surcharge amounts to a compulsory contribution imposed by the State.
Primjećuje se da Njemačka nije iznijela nijedan argument koji pokazuje da priroda i opća struktura njemačkog sustava naknada za upotrebu mreže opravdavaju potpuno izuzeće.
It had been provided for in the StromNEV 2011 and has then been introduced via binding regulatory decision of the BNetzA, a high federal public authority entrusted with administrative and regulatory tasks and acting under the supervision of the Ministry for economic affairs and energy.
Iznijela je da bi potpuno izuzeće moglo pomoći u osiguranju sigurnosti opskrbe jer bi osiguralo postojanje konvencionalnih elektrana potrebnih za osiguranje sigurnosti opskrbe te da bi moglo pomoći u olakšavanju promicanja električne energije iz obnovljivih izvora.
Its president and vice-presidents are nominated by the Minister, while its council is composed of representatives of the Bundesrat and Bundestag.
No ti ciljevi nisu povezani s naknadama za upotrebu mreže i stoga se moraju razmotriti u okviru procjene spojivosti u skladu sa sudskom praksom Suda (vidjeti odjeljak 3.3.1.).
Furthermore, the network operators had been appointed to levy and administer the Paragraph 19-surcharge in accordance with the legal framework in place.
Zaključak
In this regard, it is to be recalled that the Court has repeatedly ruled that also a private entity can be appointed with the administration of State resource.
Potpuno izuzeće ne može se opravdati logikom naknada za upotrebu mreže u Njemačkoj jer nadilazi smanjenje objavljenih naknada za upotrebu mreže koje odražava doprinos potrošača baznog opterećenja uštedi ili izbjegavanju troškova.
Also, it follows from the Essent-judgment that more than just one entity can be appointed to carry out the administration of the surcharge.
Potpuno izuzeće posebno je neopravdano odstupanje od referentnog sustava jer se njime izuzimaju potrošači baznog opterećenja od troškova koji bi im inače bili dodijeljeni u referentnom sustavu, odnosno od pojedinačnih troškova mreže izračunanih na temelju metodologije fizičke putanje i u minimalnom iznosu od 20 % objavljenih naknada za upotrebu mreže.
First, the DSOs and the TSOs were obliged to levy and collect the Paragraph 19-surcharge from the end users and DSOs were obliged to transfer the Paragraph 19-surcharge to the TSO.
S obzirom na to da su potrošači baznog opterećenja bili izuzeti od plaćanja naknada za upotrebu mreže u mjeri većoj od troškova mreže uzrokovane njihovom potrošnjom ili su bili izuzeti od plaćanja minimalnog doprinosa od 20 % objavljenih naknada za upotrebu mrežu kada su ti troškovi bili niži od tog doprinosa, Komisija stoga zaključuje da izuzeće nije u skladu s logikom referentnog sustava i donosi selektivnu prednost.
Second, the TSO could use the proceeds from the Paragraph 19-surcharge for the sole purpose of compensating for the losses in revenue stemming from the exemption for baseload consumers under the second sentence of Paragraph 19(2) StromNEV 2011 and the equalisation mechanism described in recital 35 of this Decision.
PRIPISIVOST
This is demonstrated by the fact that the amount of the Paragraph 19-surcharge was adapted to the financial needs triggered by the full exemption.
Potpuno izuzeće utvrđeno je u članku 7.
In particular, any proceeds in year x in excess of the amount required to compensate for that financial burden led to a reduction of the surcharge in year x + 2 (see recital 39).
Zakona od 26. srpnja 2011. (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 21. ove Odluke) i provedeno administrativnim aktima kojima su potvrđeni zahtjevi za izuzeće (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 24. ove Odluke).
The Commission therefore does not share the view of Germany and the interested parties according to which the network operators could use the proceeds of the Paragraph 19-surcharge as they wish.
Stoga se može pripisati državi.
In light of the above, it is noted that the introduction of the Paragraph 19-surcharge gave a guarantee for the network operators that their losses in revenue resulting from the exemption granted under the second sentence of Paragraph 19(2) of the StromNEV 2011 were fully compensated and is therefore different from both the PreussenElektra and the ENEA cases in which the undertakings on which the purchase obligation rested had to finance the obligation through their own financial means and could not pass on the costs to their customers.
Državi se može pripisati i dodatna pristojba iz članka 19. putem koje je financirano izuzeće.
In that respect, the view presented by the interested parties that the proceeds of the Paragraph 19-surcharge were not hypothecated to the financing of the exemption under the second sentence of Paragraph 19(2) of the StromNEV 2011 cannot be accepted.
Prvo, dodatna pristojba iz članka 19. utvrđena je u članku 7.
Indeed, as of 2012, the exemption from network charges could not be financed differently than via the Paragraph 19-surcharge which was calculated so as to correspond exactly to the financial needs created by the exemption.
Zakona od 26. srpnja 2011. (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 21. ove Odluke), a provela ju je agencija BNetzA u svojstvu državne agencije (vidjeti odjeljak 2.4.2. i bilješku 22. ove Odluke).
Based on those elements, the Commission maintains its conclusion that the advantage granted to baseload consumers in the form of the full exemption in 2012 and 2013 must be considered as financed through State resources.
Činjenica da su za izračun naknade odgovorni privatni subjekti kojima je to zakonom naloženo ne utječe na taj zaključak jer ti privatni subjekti, odnosno OPS-i, nemaju marginu diskrecije pri provedbi tog zadataka, a država im je naložila njegovu provedbu u okviru zadaća koje su im kao OPS-ima povjerene u skladu s člankom 19. stavkom 2.
Financing through State resources before the Paragraph 19-surcharge was imposed (year 2011)
StromNEV-a iz 2011.
While the full exemption under the second sentence of Paragraph 19(2) StromNEV 2011 was applicable as of 1 January 2011, the Paragraph 19-surcharge only entered into force on 1 January 2012 (see recital 40 of this Decision).
Nadalje, agencija BNetzA ovlaštena je za nadzor OPS-a i može im uputiti obvezujuće odluke ako ne ispunjavaju svoje obveze (članci 29. i 54.
In its Opening Decision, the Commission therefore questioned whether the exemptions granted in 2011 were equally financed through State resources and invited Germany to provide additional information on how the full exemption was financed in 2011.
EnWG-a iz 2011.).
On the basis of the additional information provided by Germany, but also taking into account the comments made by interested parties, the Commission does not consider the financing mechanism in place in 2011 to involve State resources.
Konačno, agencija je za 2012. izravno odredila ukupan iznos koji se mora nadoknaditi dodatnom pristojbom iz članka 19. (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 37. ove Odluke).
As Germany has explained (see recital 77) and as the BNetzA has explicitly stated in the regulatory decision of 14 December 2011, no compensation and set-off mechanism was in place in 2011.
POSTOJANJE DRŽAVNIH SREDSTAVA
In particular, the sixth and the seventh sentence of Paragraph 19(2) of the StromNEV 2011 were not yet applicable.
Da bi selektivna prednost bila potpora u smislu članka 107. stavka 1.
