As regards the guarantees given to GdF and SNCF (measures 9 and 10), France recognises that their purpose was to replace contract bonds.
V zvezi z garancijami, ki so bile dodeljene podjetjema GdF in SNCF (ukrepa 9 in 19), Francija priznava, da je bil njihov namen nadomestiti garancijsko shemo. V skladu z oceno pomoči, zajete v garancijsko shemo.
In line with the estimate of the aid comprised in the guarantee in respect of the bonding facility, the Commission considers that the maximum amount of aid may be as high as 100 % of the amount covered.
Komisija meni, da je najvišji znesek pomoči lahko do 100 % zajetega zneska.
However, given the difficulty of assessing the scope and probability of the various risks that might arise from contracts not being carried out or not being carried out properly, and the proportion of such risks that might actually be covered by the state guarantee, the Commission is unable to quantify reliably the amount of aid inherent in the guarantees.
Medtem, ob upoštevanju težavnosti ocenjevanja razpona in možnosti različnih tveganj, ki bi se lahko pojavila iz pogodb, ki niso bile ali niso izvajane pravilno, ter razsežnosti teh tveganj, ki so zajeti v garancije države, Komisija ugotavlja, da ne more količinsko opredeliti zneska pomoči, zajetega v garancije.
In view of the above, the Commission considers that Table 7 provides a realistic estimate of the maximum amount of aid resulting from the package of measures in support of Alstom, with the sole exception of measures 9 and 10.
V zvezi v zgoraj obravnavanim, Komisija meni, da tabela 7 kaže realno oceno najvišjega zneska pomoči, ki izhaja iz podpornih ukrepov za Alstom, z izjemo ukrepov 9 in 10.
It should be added that the ensuing compatibility assessment takes account of each of the measures considered in its own right, with all its particularities, and not just of this overall assessment.
Treba je opredeliti, da se pri ocenjevanju združljivosti upošteva vsak ukrep z vsemi pripadajočimi posebnostmi in ne le celotne ocene.
Maximum amount of aid
Znesek pomoči najvišji
EUR 1.2 billion in short-term liquidity (measure 2)
Kratkoročna likvidnost v višini 1,2 milijarde (ukrep 2)
of which — EUR 300 million renewed
od tega: — 300 milijonov obnovljenih
Guarantee covering the bonding facility (measure 3)
Garancija za garancijsko shemo (ukrep 3)
of which — 12 months counter-guarantee for 65 % of EUR 3,5 billion in bonds
od tega: — 12 mesecev indirektne garancije v višini 65 % od 3,5 milijarde EUR garancij
second-loss guarantee covering the EUR 8 billion in bonds
podrejena garancija, ki zajema 8 milijard EUR v obveznicah
Compatibility of the aid with the common market
Usklajenost pomoči s skupnim trgom
In view of the above, the measures taken by the State must be assessed as ad hoc state aid in the present context.
Glede na vse našteto je treba državne ukrepe obravnavati kot ad hoc državno pomoč v smislu tega pregleda.
Article 87(2) and (3) of the Treaty provides for derogations from the general incompatibility rule set out in Article 87(1).
V členu 87(2) in (3) Pogodbe je predvideno odstopanje od splošne nezdružljivosti iz odstavka 1.
The derogations provided for in Article 87(2) of the Treaty are not applicable in this instance, since the aid measures do not have a social character and are not granted to individual consumers, they are not intended to make good the damage caused by natural disasters or exceptional occurrences, and they are not granted to the economy of certain areas of the Federal Republic of Germany affected by the division of Germany.
Odstopanja iz člena 87(2) Pogodbe v tem primeru ne veljajo, kajti ukrepi pomoči niso socialne narave in niso dodeljeni posameznim potrošnikom, niso namenjeni kot nadomestilo škode, ki so jo povzročile naravne nesreče ali drugi izjemni dogodki in ne podpirajo gospodarstva določene regije Zvezne republike Nemčije, ki jo je prizadela delitev Nemčije.
Other derogations are provided for in Article 87(3) of the Treaty.
Druga odstopanja so predvidena v členu 87(3) Pogodbe.
Since the aid is not regional in purpose and since the derogation in Article 87(3)(b) is clearly not applicable, only the derogations provided for in Article 87(3)(c) apply.
Ker cilj pomoči ni regionalen, odstopanje iz točke (b) omenjenega odstavka ne velja, veljajo le odstopanja iz točke (c).
That provision authorises state aid intended to facilitate the development of certain economic activities, where the aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Ta predvideva odobritev državne pomoči, ki je namenjena poenostavitvi razvoja določenih gospodarsko delavnih regij, če ta pomoč ne vpliva na pogoje izmenjave in ni v nasprotju z interesom Skupnosti.
The aid was granted in order to restore the long-term viability of a firm in difficulty.
V tem kontekstu je jasno, da so bile pomoči dodeljene z namenom obnovitve možnosti dolgoročnega preživetja podjetja v težavah.
It must therefore be assessed on the basis of the guidelines.
Zato jih je treba oceniti na podlagi smernic.
Following examination, the Commission considers that no other Community guidelines could apply in this instance.
Po pregledu Komisija meni, da v tem primeru ne veljajo nobene druge smernice Skupnosti.
Nor has France invoked any other derogation provided for in the Treaty and has relied solely on the guidelines in order to justify the compatibility of the measures notified in August 2003.
Francija prav tako ni uveljavljala nobenega drugega odstopanja iz Pogodbe in se je pri utemeljevanju usklajenosti ukrepov, posredovanih avgusta 2003, opirala izključno na smernice.
In order to qualify for rescue and restructuring aid, the firm must be a firm in difficulty.
Da bi bilo podjetje upravičeno do pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje, mora biti obravnavano kot podjetje v težavah.
Section 2.1 of the guidelines defines this concept.
Ta pojem je opredeljen v smernicah, delu 2.1.
Point 6 states that the usual signs of a firm being in difficulty are increasing losses, diminishing turnover, growing stock inventories, excess capacity, declining cash flow, mounting debt, rising interest charges and falling or nil net asset value.
V točki 6 je navedeno, da se težave podjetja kažejo kot naraščajoča raven izgub, znižanje prihodka, povečevanje zalog, znižanje bruto marže samofinanciranja, naraščajoča zadolženost, rast finančnih stroškov in tudi slabitev ali izginotje vrednosti čistega premoženja.
Rescue aid
Pomoč za reševanje
France considers that part of measures 2 and 3 can be deemed to be rescue aid.
Francija ocenjuje, da je del ukrepov 2 in 3 mogoče obravnavati kot pomoči za reševanje.
In support of this argument, it points out that the aid covers the firm’s short-term liquidity requirements.
Kot utemeljitev teh argumentov Francija navaja dejstvo, da pomoč zajema kratkoročne likvidnostne potrebe podjetja.
With regard to measure 2, France estimates that EUR 900 million under the financial package covered by the September 2003 agreement must be regarded as rescue aid within the meaning of the guidelines.
V zvezi z ukrepom 2 Francija ocenjuje, da je treba 900 milijonov EUR iz finančnega paketa, določenega v sporazumu s septembra 2003, obravnavati kot pomoč za reševanje v smislu smernic.
This aid in the form of short-term liquidity, whose purpose was to prevent Alstom from going out of business immediately, was repaid within six months of disbursement.
Ta pomoč v obliki kratkoročne likvidnosti, katere cilj je preprečiti prenehanje poslovanja Alstoma, je bila povrnjena v šestih mesecih po izplačilu.
As regards measure 3, France considers that the State counter-guarantee covering the syndicated bonding facility must be deemed to be rescue aid provided during the period when the bonds were issued by the banks and counter-guarantees provided by the State, since the measures implemented during that initial period made it possible to keep Alstom in business.
V zvezi z ukrepom 3 Francija ocenjuje, da mora biti indirektna garancija sindicirane garancijske sheme države obravnavana kot pomoč za reševanje med obdobjem izdaje obveznic bank in indirektnih garancij države, zato da ukrepi, izvedeni med prvim obdobjem, omogočijo preživetje Alstoma.
According to France, the counter-guarantee should accordingly be regarded as rescue aid granted during the first year of implementation of the measures designed to rescue the firm.
Francija meni, da mora biti indirektna garancija pod temi pogoji obravnavana kot pomoč pri reševanju, dodeljena v prvem letu izvajanja ukrepov za reševanje podjetja.
It must be noted that no evaluation was provided for the repositioning of the counter-guarantee in the new syndicated facility amounting to EUR 800 billion.
Prav tako je treba opozoriti, da za ponovno določanje indirektne garancije v novi sindicirani shemi v višini 8 milijard EUR ni bilo izvedeno nobeno ocenjevanje.
However, it should be borne in mind that, in its decisions to initiate and extend the formal investigation procedure, the Commission took the view that Alstom seemed to be undergoing restructuring at the time when the relevant measures were granted.
Vendar je treba opozoriti da Komisija v sklepu o začetku in podaljšanju uradnega preiskovalnega postopka meni, da je Alstom v trenutku odobritve zadevnih ukrepov v postopku prestrukturiranja.
Consequently, part of the aid measures cannot be deemed to be rescue aid, which, under the guidelines, cannot be granted once a restructuring or liquidation plan has been implemented, since rescue aid must necessarily precede any such plan.
Pod temi pogoji del zadevnih ukrepov pomoči ne more biti obravnavan kot pomoč za reševanje, ki v skladu s smernicami ne more biti dodeljena po izvajanju načrta prestrukturiranja ali likvidacije; najprej mora biti dodeljena pomoč za reševanje.
Furthermore, the conditions governing the authorisation of rescue aid, set out in point 23 of the guidelines, do not appear to be met in this instance.
Poleg tega pogoji za odobritev pomoči za reševanje, določeni v točki 23 omenjenih smernic, v tem primeru niso izpolnjeni.
The Commission accordingly took the view, provisionally, that the aid should be examined in the light of the criteria governing the authorisation of restructuring aid.
Pod temi pogoji je Komisija sprejela začasno stališče, da je treba pomoč pregledati ob upoštevanju meril, ki urejajo odobritev pomoči za prestrukturiranje.
The doubts which the Commission expressed when initiating and extending the procedure remain relevant.
Dvomi, ki jih je Komisija izrazila ob začetku in podaljšanju postopka, še vedno ostajajo pomembni.
It still appears artificial to divide the aid package into rescue aid and restructuring aid, since no rescue period preceded the drawing up of the restructuring plan.
Še vedno se zdi umetno, da se paket pomoči razdeli na pomoč za reševanje in pomoč za prestrukturiranje, ker nobeno obdobje reševanja ni izvedeno pred sestavo načrta za prestrukturiranje.
Any such analysis would run counter to the objective pursued in granting rescue aid, which is to maintain the status quo until such time as the firm’s future can be assessed.
Takšna analiza je v nasprotju z namenom dodeljevanja pomoči za reševanje, ki je vzdrževanje trenutnega stanja, dokler se ne oceni prihodnost podjetja.
The aid, whether covering liquidity requirements or structural measures, forms part of the ongoing restructuring.
Pomoči, ki zajemajo potrebe državne blagajne ali strukturnih ukrepov, so del trenutnega prestrukturiranja.
The Commission cannot agree to aid being arbitrarily deemed to be rescue aid when it is granted during the first six months or indeed during the first year of a restructuring operation.
Komisija ne more sprejeti, da je pomoč dodeljena samovoljno kot pomoč za reševanje, v prvih šestih mesecih ali v prvem letu prestrukturiranja.
In this context, it does not matter that the aid covers the liquidity requirements of a firm undergoing restructuring, since restructuring aid often covers the liquidity requirements of firms being restructured, in the same way as it covers, for example, investment or costs linked to capacity reductions.
V tem kontekstu ni pomembno ali pomoči veljajo tudi za potrebe likvidnosti podjetja, ki je v postopku prestrukturiranja, ker pomoč za prestrukturiranje pogosto vključuje potrebe likvidnosti podjetja, ki je v tem postopku, enako, ko npr. zajema vlaganja ali stroške, povezane z zmanjševanjem zmogljivosti
In addition, the Commission considers that the amount of aid in respect of measure 2 was to a very large extent taken from the amounts deriving from the structural measures that replaced it and that, for this reason too, it is appropriate to examine it under the heading of restructuring.
Med drugim Komisija meni, da je bil znesek pomoči v zvezi z ukrepom 2 v veliki meri razdeljen na zneske, ki izhajajo iz strukturnih ukrepov, ki so ta ukrep nadomestili, in da ga je iz istega razloga treba pregledati v okviru prestrukturiranja.
With regard to the counter-guarantee (former measure 3), it does not fulfil any of the criteria for the authorisation of rescue aid set out in the guidelines.
V zvezi z indirektno garancijo (stari ukrep 3) ta ne izpolnjuje nobenih meril za odobritev pomoči za reševanje, navedenih v smernicah.
It did not in particular consist of liquidity support, since it did not constitute a loan guarantee as stipulated in point 23 of the guidelines.
Zato ne gre za likvidnost, ker ni del garancijskega posojila, predvidenega v točki 23 smernic.
Furthermore, the counter-guarantee was to extend well beyond the six months provided for in the guidelines, since it was to cover projects lasting up to seven years.
Poleg tega bi bilo treba indirektno garancijo raztegniti na obdobje, daljše od šestih mesecev, ki so predvideni v smernicah, zato da lahko zajame projekte, ki bi trajali tudi do sedem let.
In view of the above, the Commission considers it appropriate to assess these measures as being included in the package of restructuring aid.
Ob upoštevanju vsega naštetega Komisija ocenjuje, da je ocenjevanje ukrepov, kot že vključenih v paket pomoči za prestrukturiranje, primerno.
The guidelines set out four criteria all of which must be met if restructuring aid is to be authorised: a plan that will restore long-term viability, the avoidance of distortions of competition, aid limited to the minimum and full implementation of the restructuring plan.
Smernice predvidevajo štiri pogoje, ki jih je treba izpolnjevati za odobritev pomoči za prestrukturiranje: načrt, ki bo zagotovil dolgoročno sposobnost preživetja, preprečevanje izkrivljanja konkurenc, pomoč, omejena na minimum, in izvedba načrta prestrukturiranja v celoti.
The grant of aid is conditional on implementation of the restructuring plan which must be endorsed by the Commission in the case of all individual aid measures.
Dodeljevanje pomoči je pogojeno z izvajanjem načrta prestrukturiranja, ki ga mora za vsako posamezno pomoč potrditi Komisija.
A restructuring plan, the duration of which must be as short as possible, must restore the long-term viability of the firm within a reasonable timescale and on the basis of realistic assumptions as to future operating conditions.
Načrt prestrukturiranja, katerega trajanje mora biti kar najbolj omejeno, mora v razumnem roku dolgoročno vzpostaviti sposobnost preživetja podjetja, na podlagi realnih sklepov o prihodnjih pogojih poslovanja.
Restructuring aid must therefore be linked to a viable restructuring plan to which the Member State commits itself.
Pomoč za prestrukturiranje mora biti torej povezana z uspešnim načrtom prestrukturiranja, s katerim se država članica zaveže, da ga bo izvajala.
With the help of its external consultant, the Commission assessed the restructuring plan presented by France in order to determine whether it is sufficient to restore the long-term viability of the firm.
Komisija je s pomočjo zunanjega svetovalca ocenila načrt prestrukturiranja, ki ga je predstavila Francija, zato da se določi, ali je zadovoljiv za ponovno vzpostavitev dolgoročne sposobnosti preživetja podjetja.
The Commission based its analysis on the information presented in August and December 2003 and subsequently in February 2004.
Analiza Komisije temelji na podatkih, predstavljenih avgusta in decembra 2003 ter februarja 2004.
The Commission’s assessment examines firstly whether the operational restructuring is adequate, then looks at market prospects and their impact on the restructuring plan, and lastly considers the firm's financial situation once the restructuring plan has been implemented.
Ocena Komisije v prvi vrsti obravnava primernost poslovnega prestrukturiranja, nato tržne napovedi in končno tudi finančni položaj podjetja po izvedbi načrta prestrukturiranja.
Operational restructuring
Poslovno prestrukturiranje
In analysing the restructuring measure, account must be taken of the specific character of the sectors in which Alstom operates.
Pri analizi ukrepov prestrukturiranja je treba upoštevati specifičnost sektorjev, v katerih je dejaven Alstom.
In particular, in the case of the Power and Transport sectors, the necessary investment in fixed assets is relatively low compared with working capital requirements.
Zlasti v sektorjih Power in Transport so potrebna vlaganja v osnovna sredstva znatno nižja v primerjavi z zahtevami obratnih sredstev.
What matters most are project performance and engineering capacity, whereas physical production capacity is a major constraint only in the case of a limited number of products [30].
Najpomembnejše so zmogljivosti za izvedbo projekta in inženirska zmogljivost, medtem ko je fizična proizvodna zmogljivost velika ovira le v primeru omejenega števila izdelkov [30].
Consequently, companies are generally able to broaden their supply in periods of high demand.
Posledično podjetja na splošno lahko razširijo ponudbo zalog v obdobjih večjega povpraševanja.
Conversely, it is not always possible to cut surplus labour in periods of low demand, particularly in countries where social security legislation is more constrictive.
Obratno ni vedno mogoče zmanjšati presežnega števila zaposlenih v obdobju zmanjšanega povpraševanja, zlasti v deželah, v katerih je socialna zakonodaja bolj zavezujoča.
Another specific feature of Alstom’s activities is the need to manufacture different products [31] on the same production line depending on orders, so as to optimise production capacity utilisation (utilisation runs).
Druga značilnost dejavnosti Alstoma je potreba po izdelavi različnih izdelkov [31] v isti proizvodni liniji, odvisno od naročil, zato se izboljša uporaba proizvodnih zmogljivosti („utilization runs“)
Production capacity is measured mainly in terms of the space available for production (roofed area) and the manpower available, whereas installed plant and equipment are not generally a major constraint, unlike in other industries.
Proizvodna zmogljivost se meri v glavnem v smislu prostora, ki je na voljo za proizvodnjo („roofed area“) in razpoložljivi delovni sili, medtem ko strojna oprema na splošno ni večja ovira, za razliko od drugih industrij.
In addition, it is difficult to measure production capacity by product, since, as has just been mentioned, different products may be manufactured at different times on one and the same production line.
Med drugim je težko izmeriti proizvodno zmogljivost glede na izdelek, ker so, kot je bilo že omenjeno, lahko različni izdelki izdelani ob različnem času v isti proizvodni liniji.
Consequently, Alstom's internal restructuring measures were analysed by examining whether they allow the firm to reorganise efficiently its manpower use and rationalise its geographical presence.
Posledično so bili ukrepi notranjega prestrukturiranja Alstoma analizirani tako, da se je preverilo, ali podjetju omogočajo učinkovito reorganizacijo uporabe delovne sile in racionalizacijo geografske prisotnosti.
The Commission considers that, as far as the Power Generation and Transport sectors are concerned, the restructuring measures are sufficient to ensure industrial recovery.
Komisija meni, da so ukrepi prestrukturiranja v zvezi s sektorjem Power Generation in Transport zadostni za zagotavljanje industrijske poživitve.
The planned manpower reductions are considered to be in proportion to the scale of the excess capacity that exists in these industries.
Zmanjšanje števila zaposlenih je ocenjeno sorazmerno z obsegom presežne zmogljivosti, ki obstaja v teh industrijah.
The estimates of the cost of these restructuring measures and the resulting savings seem realistic.
Ocene stroškov prestrukturiranja in prihrankov, ki iz tega izhajajo, so realne.
Furthermore, the early implementation of the restructuring plan indicates that the process is well advanced, so that the risk of any slippage in achieving the objectives set for March 2006 is reduced.
Poleg tega zgodnje izvajanje načrta prestrukturiranja kaže, da postopek dobro napreduje, tako da je tveganje zamude pri izvajanju ciljev, predvidenih za marec 2006, zmanjšano.
In the Power Turbo-Systems sector, the […] % reduction in manpower from […] to […] employees), is in line with the excess capacity indicated by Alstom's latest capacity utilisation rates as estimated by France ([…] % in August 2003) and by the Commission's expert ([…] % in 2002 and […] % in 2003).
V sektorju Power Turbo-Systems je zmanjšanje zaposlenih za […] % (z […] na […] zaposlenih) usklajeno s presežno zmogljivostjo, navedeno v zadnjih stopnjah izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti Alstoma, glede na ocene Francije ([…] % avgusta 2003) in ocene strokovnjaka Komisije ([…] % leta 2002 in […] % leta 2003).
This manpower reduction, combined with the cutting back and selective closure of plants and the operational reorganisation, will help to ensure that Alstom is competitive.
Tako zmanjšanje števila zaposlenih, skupaj z zmanjšanjem in selektivnim zaprtjem tovarn ter z reorganizacijo poslovanja, bo pomagalo pri vzpostavitvi konkurenčnosti Alstoma.
In the Power Environment sector, the […] % reduction in manpower (from […] to […]) […] [32]] deemed necessary by the Commission’s external expert.
Za sektor Power Environment zunanji svetovalec Komisije ocenjuje, da je treba število zaposlenih zmanjšati za […] % (z […] na […]) […] [32].
It is also greater than the excess capacity indicated by the capacity utilisation rate estimated by France (around […] % in the first half of the year 2003-2004).
To je več od presežne zmogljivosti, ki je navedena v stopnji uporabe, ki jo ocenjuje Francija (približno […] % v prvem semestru let 2003–2004).
This large reduction in manpower may be attributed to the closure of production sites, […].
Tako veliko zmanjšanje števila zaposlenih se lahko pripiše zaprtju proizvodnih mest, […].
In the Power Services sector, the reduction in manpower amounts to […] % (from […] to […]).
V sektorju Power Services je zmanjšanje števila zaposlenih doseglo […] % (z […] na […]).
No site closure is anticipated [33], but that may be justified by the need for a local presence in this sector.
Zaprtje proizvodnih enot sicer ni predvideno [33], vendar se lahko upraviči s potrebo po lokalni prisotnosti na tem področju.
Lastly, restructuring is to be carried out in the Power Conversion sector (the T&D segment not sold to Areva), in the form of a […] % reduction in the workforce (from […] to […] employees) and reorganisation of industrial structure.
Nazadnje mora biti prestrukturiranje izvedeno tudi v sektorju Power Conversion (del T&D, ki ni bil prodan Arevi), v obliki zmanjšanja delovne sile za […] % (z […] na […] zaposlenih) in reorganizaciji industrijske strukture.
In the Transport sector, there is to be a […] % reduction in the workforce (from […] to […]).
V sektorju Transport je zmanjšanje števila zaposlenih doseglo […] % (z […] na […]).
This workforce reduction is in line with the overcapacity estimates made by the external consultant (between […] % and […] %).
To zmanjšanje števila zaposlenih je po mnenju zunanjega strokovnjaka usklajeno z ocenami presežne zmogljivosti (med […] % in […] %).
However, the reduction is not consistent with Alstom's current capacity utilisation rate (more than […] %) as stated by France.
Zato zmanjšanje ni usklajeno z dejansko Alstomovo stopnjo uporabe, (več kot […] %), ki jo je posredovala Francija.
