The eligible costs, being the cost of the work less the increase in the value of the land, were also in conformity with the Community guidelines.
Upravičeni stroški, torej stroški dela brez povečane vrednosti zemljišča, so prav tako skladni s Smernicami.
In view of the above, and after analysing the information submitted by Spain, the Commission has come to the conclusion that the aid scheme for environmental protection was compatible with the abovementioned Community guidelines.
Zaradi zgoraj navedenih razlogov in po preučitvi informacij, ki jih je posredovala Španija, Komisija sklepa, da je shema pomoči za zaščito okolja skladna s prej navedenimi smernicami Skupnosti.
Assessment of aid for mining training
Ocena pomoči za usposabljanje rudarjev
On the basis of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002 on State aid to the coal industry, and in particular Article 3(1) and recital 21 thereof, training aid may be granted, provided that such aid is granted in accordance with the requirements and criteria laid down by the Commission for this category of aid.
V skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 1407/2002 o državni pomoči za premogovništvo in zlasti členom 3(1) ter uvodno izjavo (21) se lahko pomoč za usposabljanje odobri v skladu s pogoji in merili, ki jih za te kategorije pomoči določi Komisija.
The Commission has therefore assessed the compatibility of these aid measures with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 68/2001 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to training aid.
Komisija je posledično ocenila združljivost teh ukrepov pomoči z določbami Uredbe (ES) št. 68/2001 o uporabi členov 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES pri pomoči za usposabljanje.
Spain had to notify these measures because the conditions for exemption from the notification requirement laid down in that Regulation do not apply to State aid to the coal industry.
Španija je te ukrepe morala priglasiti, ker se pogoji za izvzetje od obveznosti predhodne priglasitve, predvideni z navedeno uredbo, ne uporabljajo pri državni pomoči za premogovništvo.
In the case of the following aid:
V primeru naslednjih pomoči:
the Commission, after analysing the information submitted by Spain and taking into account the fact that Spain ensured that the maximum aid intensities laid down in Article 4 had been respected when applying the scheme, considers that the aid measures for mining training which the Autonomous Region of Castile-Leon granted will not lead to any distortion of competition and can be allowed on the basis of the abovementioned Regulation.
Komisija po pregledu informacij, ki jih je posredovala Španija, in ob upoštevanju, da je Španija pri uporabi te sheme zagotovila upoštevanje največje intenzivnosti pomoči iz člena 4, meni, da ukrepi pomoči za usposabljanje rudarjev, ki jih je odobrila Skupnost Kastilija-Leon, ne izkrivljajo konkurence in se lahko odobrijo na podlagi prej navedene uredbe.
In this respect, the scheme contained a reference to the abovementioned Regulation.
V tej funkciji je shema skladna z zadevno uredbo.
Assessment of aid for mining safety
Ocena pomoči za varnost v rudnikih
After analysing the aid and the information submitted by Spain, the Commission considers that this aid has to be assessed on the basis of Regulation (EC) No 1407/2002 on State aid to the coal industry.
Po pregledu pomoči in informacij, ki jih je posredovala Španija, Komisija ocenjuje, da je to pomoč potrebno ovrednotiti glede na Uredbo (ES) št. 1407/2002 o državni pomoči za premogovništvo.
concerns costs which undertakings have to bear in order to improve safety and health conditions.
Nanašajo se na stroške, ki jih morajo podjetja kriti za izboljšanje varnostnih in zdravstvenih pogojev.
These costs were not related to current production and were intended for investments in equipment and mine workings.
Ti izdatki niso povezani s trenutno proizvodnjo in so namenjeni naložbam v opremo in rudarske obrate.
In this respect, the Commission considers that the amounts granted did not exceed the costs of the safety works and has come to the conclusion that these measures were in accordance with Article 7 of the aforementioned Regulation and with point 1(g) of the Annex thereto concerning the definition of the costs referred to in Article 7.
V tem smislu Komisija ocenjuje, da odobreni zneski ne presegajo stroškov varnostnih del, ti ukrepi pa so skladni s členom 7 omenjene uredbe in določbami, navedenimi v točki 1(g) Priloge k njej, ki se nanaša na opredelitev stroškov iz člena 7.
On this basis, the Commission has come to the conclusion that the aid for mining safety was in accordance with the Regulation.
Komisija zato sklepa, da je pomoč za varnost v rudnikih skladna z navedeno uredbo.
The Commission must conclude that Spain unlawfully put into effect the aid for research and development, environmental protection, mining training and mining safety to coalmining undertakings in the Autonomous Community of Castile-Leon in 2001 and 2002, in breach of Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Komisija sklepa, da je Španija nezakonito dodelila pomoč za raziskave in razvoj, zaščito okolja, usposabljanje rudarjev in varnost v rudnikih, namenjeno premogovniškim podjetjem Avtonomne skupnosti Kastilija-Leon v letih 2001 in 2002, ter s tem kršila določbe člena 88(3) Pogodbe.
However, after analysing the measures and the information submitted by Spain, the Commission,
Vendar je po pregledu ukrepov in informacij, ki jih je posredovala Španija, Komisija –
The aid scheme for research and development, environmental protection, mining training and mining safety which Spain implemented in favour of coalmining undertakings in the Autonomous Community of Castile-Leon in 2001 and 2002 on the basis of the Orders of the Regional Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism of 19 December 2000 and 19 December 2001 governing the granting of aid for mining is compatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 87(3) of the Treaty.
Shema pomoči za raziskave in razvoj, zaščito okolja, usposabljanje rudarjev in varnost v rudnikih, ki jo je Španija v letih 2001 in 2002 izvedla v korist premogovniških podjetij Avtonomne skupnosti Kastilija-Leon na podlagi odlokov Regionalnega sveta za industrijo, trgovino in turizem z dne 19. decembra 2000 in 19. decembra 2001, ki urejajo dodelitev spodbud premogovništvu, je po določbah člena 87(3) Pogodbe skladna s skupnim trgom.

on the State aid granted by France to EDF and the electricity and gas industries
o državnih pomočeh, ki jih je Francija odobrila družbi EDF in sektorju industrije električne energije in plinarn
(notified under document number C(2003) 4637)
(notificirana pod dokumentarno številko K(2003) 4637)
Having called on interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to the provisions cited above [1] and having regard to their comments,
po povabilu zainteresiranim strankam, da predložijo svoje pripombe v skladu z navedenimi členi [1] in ob upoštevanju teh pripomb,
By letter dated 10 July 2001, the Commission invited the French authorities to provide information on certain measures in favour of Electricité de France (EDF) which possibly involved State aid.
Komisija je s pismom z dne 10. julija 2001 povabila francoske organe oblasti, naj ji dostavijo informacije o določenih ukrepih v korist Electricité de France (EDF), ki bi lahko vsebovali elemente državne pomoči.
Between July 2001 and June 2002, many letters were exchanged between the Commission and the French authorities [2].
Med julijem 2001 in junijem 2002 so Komisija in francoski organi oblasti izmenjali številna pisma [2].
A technical meeting was held on 3 September 2002.
Tehnični sestanek je bil organiziran 3. septembra 2002.
By letter dated 16 October 2002, the Commission informed the French authorities that it had taken three related decisions concerning EDF [3].
S pismom z dne 16. oktobra 2002 je Komisija francoske organe oblasti obvestila o treh skupnih odločbah o EDF [3].
First, it proposed to the French authorities, as an appropriate measure pursuant to Article 88(1) of the Treaty, that they should withdraw the unlimited State guarantee enjoyed by EDF on all its commitments by virtue of its public enterprise status, which precluded application of the legislation on the administration and compulsory liquidation of firms in difficulty.
Na eni strani je Komisija francoskim organom oblasti predlagala, v skladu s členom 88(1) Pogodbe ES, kot koristen ukrep, ukinitev neomejenega državnega jamstva, ki ga uživa EDF pri vseh svojih obveznostih na temelju svojega statusa državne ustanove industrijskega in komercialnega značaja (EPIC), ki izključuje vsako izvajanje zakonodaje, ki se nanaša na sanacijo in na sodno likvidacijo podjetij v težavah.
Second, the Commission initiated a formal investigation under Article 88(2) of the Treaty into the advantage resulting from the non-payment by EDF of the corporation tax due, when it restructured its balance sheet in 1997, on some of the accounting provisions created free of tax for the renewal of the high-voltage transmission network (RAG).
Na drugi strani, skladno s členom 88(2) Pogodbe ES, je Komisija začela z uradnim postopkom preiskave gospodarskih koristi, ki izhajajo iz neplačevanja dolžnega davka na dohodek pravnih oseb s strani družbe EDF, ob prestrukturiranju svoje bilance v 1997, na del računovodskih zalog, ustvarjenih z oprostitvijo davka za prenovo splošnega oskrbovalnega omrežja (RAG).
Third, it issued an injunction requiring the French authorities to supply information it needed in order to examine that tax concession in the context of the formal investigation procedure.
Komisija je nazadnje francoskim organom oblasti ukazala, naj dostavijo določene informacije, potrebne za preiskavo te davčne olajšave v okviru uradnega postopka preiskave.
In the comments they submitted to the Commission by letter dated 11 December 2002, the French authorities maintained that no State aid was involved in the public enterprise status and refused to implement the proposed appropriate measure.
V svojih pripombah, predanih Komisiji s pismom z dne 11. decembra 2002, so francoski organi oblasti spodbijali prisotnost vsakega elementa državne pomoči v statusu EPIC-a in so zavrnile izvajanje predlaganega koristnega ukrepa.
They also denied that EDF had received a tax concession in 1997.
Francoski organi oblasti so prav tako spodbijali, da je družba EDF uživala davčne olajšave v 1997.
A technical meeting was held on 12 February 2003 between the Commission and the French authorities to discuss the issue of the tax concession.
Tehnični sestanek med Komisijo in francoskimi organi oblasti v zvezi s preiskavo obravnavane davčne olajšave je potekal 12. februarja 2003.
On 2 April 2003, following the French authorities' refusal to implement the proposed appropriate measure and pursuant to Article 19(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty [4], the Commission decided to initiate the formal investigation procedure provided for by Article 88(2) of the Treaty in respect of the unlimited State guarantee which EDF enjoyed on account of the fact that it could not be declared bankrupt [5].
aprila 2003, ko so francoski organi oblasti zavrnili izvajanje predlaganega koristnega ukrepa, in v skladu s členom 19(2) Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 z dne 22. marca 1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 93 Pogodbe ES [4], je Komisija odločila, da začne z uradnim postopkom preiskave, določene v členu 88(2) Pogodbe ES, o neomejenem državnem jamstvu, ki ga uživa družba EDF na temelju dejstva, da ne more iti v stečaj [5].
By letter dated 12 June 2003, the French authorities sent the Commission their comments in the context of the formal investigation procedure.
S pismom z dne 12. junija 2003 so francoski organi oblasti Komisiji predali svoje pripombe v okviru tega uradnega postopka preiskave.
By letter dated 11 November 2003, supplemented by letters dated 21 November and 11 December 2003, the French authorities notified the Commission of a reform of the pension scheme for the electricity and gas industries and transmitted the text of a legislative provision converting EDF into a commercial enterprise governed by ordinary law.
Francoski organi oblasti so s pismom z dne 11. novembra 2003, dopolnjenim s pismi z dne 21. novembra in 11. decembra 2003, Komisiji prijavili reformo pokojninskega sistema industrije električne energije in plinarn (IEG), ter ji predložili zakonsko določilo, ki predvideva preoblikovanje družbe EDF v komercialno družbo splošnega prava. Francoski organi oblasti navajajo, da bosta ti dve reformi vključeni v isti zakonski projekt.
They stated that both reforms would be included in the same bill. By letter dated 16 December 2003, the French Government confirmed that it was to lay before Parliament the legislation converting EDF, currently a public enterprise, into an entity governed by ordinary law so that the change of legal status could enter into force by 1 January 2005.
Francoska vlada je s pismom z dne 16. decembra 2003 potrdila, da bo Parlamentu predlagala določila, ki se nanašajo na preoblikovanje pravne oblike EDF, ki je v tem času javna ustanova, v pravno obliko splošnega prava, da bo omogočeno izvajanje pred 1. januarjem 2005.
On 17 November 2003, a further technical meeting was held between the Commission, the French authorities and representatives of EDF to discuss the issue of the tax concession received by EDF.
novembra 2003 je bil organiziran nov tehnični sestanek med Komisijo, francoskimi organi oblasti in predstavniki družbe EDF v zvezi z vprašanjem davčne olajšave, ki jo je koristila družba EDF.
The French authorities also provided additional information on this question by letter dated 20 November 2003.
Francoski organi oblasti so prav tako odposlali dodatne informacije o tem vprašanju s pismom z dne 20. novembra 2003.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURES AT ISSUE
OPIS OBRAVNAVANIH UKREPOV
Unlimited State guarantee
Neomejeno državno jamstvo
EDF produces, transmits and distributes electricity throughout France.
Družba EDF proizvaja, transportira in distribuira električno energijo po vsem ozemlju Francije.
It is one of the largest groups on the European energy market and related markets.
Družba EDF je eno od najpomembnejših združenj na evropskem energetskem trgu in z njim povezanih trgih.
The group is also present in China, Egypt, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and the United States.
Združenje je prav tako prisotno na Kitajskem, v Egiptu, v Argentini, v Braziliji, v Mehiki ter v Združenih državah.
In 2002, EDF generated turnover of EUR 48,4 billion; the group currently has 32,5 million customer premises in France and 8,9 million in the rest of Europe.
V 2002 je družba EDF realizirala za 48,4 milijard EUR prometa; združenje ima v tem času 32,5 milijonov odjemalcev v Franciji in 8,9 milijonov v ostali Evropi.
Its largest European subsidiaries in the energy sector are EDF Energy (United Kingdom) and EnBW (Germany), but EDF also has stakes in many other European companies.
Njegove najpomembnejše evropske podružnice na področju energije so EDF Energy (Velika Britanija) in EnBW (Nemčija), toda družba EDF ima finančno udeležbo prav tako v številnih drugih evropskih družbah.
EDF was set up by Act No 46-628 of 8 April 1946 in the form of a public enterprise.
Združenje EDF je bilo ustanovljeno z zakonom št. 46-628 z dne 8. aprila 1946 v obliki EPIC.
In France, legal persons governed by public law — the category into which public enterprises fall — are not subject to the ordinary law on the administration and compulsory liquidation of firms in difficulty.
V Franciji pravne osebe javnega prava, kamor spada tudi EPIC, niso podrejene splošnemu pravu, ki se nanaša na sanacijo in na sodno likvidacijo podjetij v težavah.
The inapplicability of insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings to legal persons governed by public law derives from the general principle of the unseizability of the assets of public entities, which has been recognised by French case-law since the end of the 19th Century [6].
Neizvedljivost postopkov nesolventnosti in stečaja pri pravnih osebah javnega prava izhaja iz splošnega načela, da javnim osebam ni možno zaseči dobrin, ki ga priznava francoska zakonodaja od konca XIX. stoletja [6] dalje.
Reform of the pension scheme for the electricity and gas industries
Reforma pokojninskega sistema sektorja podjetij IEG
The French authorities notified the Commission of a reform of the pension scheme for the electricity and gas industries.
Francoski organi oblasti so Komisiji prijavili reformo pokojninskega sistema IEG.
The existing pension scheme for the electricity and gas industries is a special arrangement that is separate from the general social security scheme.
Sedanji pokojninski sistem panoge IEG tvori poseben sistem, ki se razlikuje od splošnega režima socialnega zavarovanja.
It is a pay-as-you-go system funded by employees' contributions and a balancing contribution paid by enterprises in the sector, calculated in proportion to their wage bill and intended to balance each year the scheme's pension liabilities.
Gre za pokojninski sistem z razdelitvijo, ki se plačuje iz prispevkov zaposlenih in iz prispevkov podjetij panožne proizvodnje („izravnalni prispevek“), ki je določen v razmerju z maso zaposlenih in ima za cilj vsakoletno izravnavo stroškov pokojninskega režima.
Although the scheme covers the entire sector, it is administered by a joint department attached to EDF and Gaz de France (GDF).
Kljub temu, da pokriva celotno panogo, ta pokojninski režim upravlja skupna služba v sklopu družbe EDF in Gaz de France (GDF).
The reform notified by the French authorities involves the creation of a nationwide joint social security body, the National Fund for the Electricity and Gas Industries (CNIEG), which will be independent of EDF and GDF, will have legal personality as a body governed by private law and will be covered by the Social Security Code.
Reforma, ki so jo prijavili francoski organi oblasti, določa ustanovitev skupnega organa socialnega varstva z nacionalno pristojnostjo, Nacionalnega sklada industrije električne energije in plinarn, neodvisnega od družb EDF in GDF, s statusom pravne osebe zasebnega prava in izhajajočega iz Zakona o socialni varnosti.
All employees and employers in the electricity and gas industries will be required to join the Fund.
Vsi zaposleni in delodajalci panoge IEG bodo obvezno včlanjeni v ta sklad.
From an economic standpoint, the reform distinguishes between two types of entitlement:
Reforma na gospodarskem področju razlikuje dva tipa dajatev:
‘basic’ rights, corresponding to pension benefits that would be paid by the ordinary pension schemes (general social security scheme and compulsory supplementary schemes) in return for an ordinary contribution paid in discharge of obligations,
dajatve, imenovane „osnovne“, ki odgovarjajo dajatvam, ki bi jih oskrbovali pokojninski režimi splošnega prava (splošni režim Socialne varnosti in obvezni dopolnilni režimi), kot zamenjava za prispevek na izvoru v splošnem pravu,
specific rights under the scheme for the electricity and gas industries over and above the benefits normally paid by the general scheme and compulsory supplementary schemes.
dajatve, ki so specifične za režim panoge IEG, ki presegajo dajatve, ki jih normalno oskrbujejo splošni režim in obvezni dopolnilni režimi.
These specific rights therefore correspond to the difference between the benefits paid by the special scheme for the electricity and gas industries and the basic rights.
Te specifične dajatve torej odgovarjajo razliki med dajatvami, ki jih oskrbuje specialni režim IEG in osnovnimi dajatvami.
Basic rights
Osnovne dajatve
As far as basic rights [7] are concerned, the reform involves affiliation of the special scheme for the electricity and gas industries to the general scheme (the National Pension Fund for Employees — CNAV) and the compulsory supplementary schemes (General Association of Pension Institutions for Managerial Staff — AGIRC and Association of Supplementary Pension Schemes — ARRCO).
Kar zadeva osnovne dajatve [7], reforma predvideva navezovanje specialnega režima podjetij IEG na splošni režim (Nacionalni sklad starostnega zavarovanja delavcev – CNAV) in na obvezne dopolnilne režime (Splošno združenje pokojninskih ustanov vodstvenih kadrov – AGIRC in Dodatno pokojninsko združenje – ARRCO).
These schemes will pay workers in the sector pension benefits corresponding to the basic rights in return for payment by the enterprises in the sector of an ordinary contribution in discharge of their obligations.
Ti režimi bodo panožnim delavcem plačevali osnovne dajatve v zameno za plačilo prispevka na izvoru splošnega prava s strani panožnih podjetij.
The social security bodies are to determine the technical arrangements for such affiliation with a view to ensuring financial neutrality for the transferee schemes [8].
Organizacije socialne varnosti določajo tehnične načine tega navezovanja v perspektivi finančne nevtralnosti za sprejemne režime [8].
The affiliation may be effected among other things using the dependency indicators method or the dependency ratios method, both of which have already been used by the French social security bodies during previous affiliations [9].
To navezovanje se lahko izvede zlasti po metodi indikatorjev obveznosti ali metodi razmerij obveznosti, ki so jih že uporabili francoski organi socialne varnosti ob predhodnih navezovanjih [9].
In their letter dated 11 December 2003, the French authorities stated:
Francoski organi oblasti v svojem pismu z dne 11. decembra 2003 izjavljajo:
