The fact that temporary adjustments may be made to service timetables and frequencies during the course of the year, under the control of the public authorities, does not alter the fact that an obligation to provide the said services has been imposed.
Dejstvo, da začasne prilagoditve lahko služijo urnikom in pogostosti med letom, pod nadzorom javnih organov, ne spremeni dejstva, da je bila naložena obveznost zagotavljanja navedenih storitev.
The rules in question thus oblige the recipient companies to perform a service of general economic interest within the meaning of Article 86(2) and a public service within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92.
Zadevna pravila tako obvezujejo družbe prejemnice, da izvajajo storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena v smislu člena 86(2) in javnih storitev v smislu Uredbe (EGS) št. 3577/92.
The international connections
Mednarodne povezave
International maritime connections fall within the scope of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4055/86 of 22 December 1986 applying the principle of freedom to provide services to maritime transport between Member States and between Member States and third countries [41].
Mednarodne pomorske povezave sodijo v področje Uredbe Sveta (EGS) št. 4055/86 z dne 22. decembra 1986 o izvajanju načela svobode zagotavljanja storitev pomorskega prometa med državami članicami in med državami članicami in tretjimi državami [41].
The Regulation does not make express provision for minimum public service obligations to be imposed in order to guarantee maritime connections between Member States or between a Member State and a third country.
Uredba ne določa posebnih pravil za najmanjše obveznosti iz opravljanja javnih storitev, ki se določijo, da bi se zagotovile pomorske povezave med državami članicami ali med državami članicami in tretjo državo.
However, the 2004 Community guidelines on State aid to maritime transport [42] do allow public service obligations to be imposed or public service contracts concluded if an international transport service is necessary to meet imperative public transport needs (Section 9).
Vendar pa Smernice Skupnosti 2004 o državni pomoči pomorskemu prometu [42] dovoljujejo, da se določijo obveznosti iz opravljanja javnih storitev ali sklenejo pogodbe javnih storitev, če je mednarodna transportna storitev neobhodna za izpolnitev nujnih potreb javnega prevoza (Oddelek 9).
They also allow compensation for the performance of such services, provided it is subject to the rules and procedures of the Treaty.
Dovoljujejo tudi nadomestilo za izvajanje takšnih storitev, pod pogojem, da je odvisna od pravil in postopkov Pogodbe.
Point 9 of the 1997 guidelines also authorised aid intended to compensate for public service obligations.
Točka 9 Smernic iz leta 1997 je prav tako odobrila pomoč, namenjeno nadomeščanju obveznosti iz opravljanja javnih storitev.
Accordingly, the Commission finds that the Community legislation in force allows for public service obligations to be introduced on maritime connections other than domestic connections within a Member State.
V skladu s tem Komisija ugotavlja, da veljavna zakonodaja Skupnosti omogoča obveznostim iz opravljanja javnih storitev, da se uvedejo na pomorskih povezavah razen na domačih povezavah znotraj države članice.
However, this being the international maritime transport market, and thus subject to actual or potential competition from other Community operators, the compensation paid to the concessionary companies looks like operating aid, which may be authorised only by virtue of Article 86(2).
Vendar pa, ker je to trg mednarodnega pomorskega prometa in tako predmet dejanske ali potencialne konkurence drugih prevoznikov Skupnosti, nadomestilo, plačano koncesijskim družbam, izgleda kot pomoč pri tekočem poslovanju, ki se lahko dovoli le na podlagi člena 86(2).
Such compensation must also, therefore, be necessary, i.e. it must meet a real need that market forces cannot satisfy, and it must be strictly proportionate to the objective being pursued.
Zato mora biti takšno nadomestilo tudi nujno, to je, mora izpolnjevati zahteve po potrebi, ki je sile trga ne morejo zadovoljiti in mora biti strogo sorazmerno z opredeljenimi cilji.
Of the five regional companies of the Tirrenia Group, only Adriatica and Saremar operate on international routes, under the public service agreements.
Od petih regionalnih družb skupine Tirrenia samo družbi Adriatica in Saremar delujeta ne mednarodnih poteh, po sporazumih javnih storitev.
Accordingly, for both of these companies and for each of the international connections concerned, examination is required of the grounds justifying the imposition of the public service obligations on the recipient companies and of whether the compensation paid was eligible for the derogation provided for in Article 86(2) of the Treaty.
V skladu s tem se za obe te družbi in za vsako izmed zadevnih mednarodnih povezav zahteva pregled razlogov, ki upravičujejo uvedbo obveznosti iz opravljanja javnih storitev za družbe prejemnice in ali je bilo plačano nadomestilo upravičeno za odstopanje iz člena 86(2) Pogodbe.
With regard to Saremar, the Commission notes that on the Sardinia/Corsica (Santa Teresa/Bonifacio) route the company makes two round trips a day all year round using a mixed ship with a total capacity of 560 passengers and 51 motor vehicles.
Glede družbe Saremar Komisija ugotavlja, da na poteh Sardinija–Korzika (Santa Teresa–Bonifacio) družba izvede dve krožni poti dnevno celo leto z uporabo kombinirane ladje s skupno zmogljivostjo 560 potnikov in 51 motornih vozil.
The information supplied by the Italian authorities shows this to be a short-distance (10 nautical miles) cross-border connection of mainly local interest, both for the Sardinian communities and for the neighbouring Corsican communities.
Informacije, ki so jih posredovali italijanski organi kažejo, da je to čezmejna povezava kratke razdalje (10 navtičnih milj) pretežno lokalnega interesa, tako za sardinske skupnosti kot za sosednje korziške skupnosti.
The scheduled connection between Santa Teresa and Bonifacio ensures the mobility of cross-border workers and a regular flow of goods between southern Corsica and northern Sardinia.
Redna povezava med Santo Tereso in Bonifacio zagotavlja mobilnost čezmejnih delavcev in reden pretok blaga med južno Korziko in severno Sardinijo.
The information supplied by the Italian authorities shows that this connection was expressly requested by the local Sardinian and Corsican communities.
Informacije, ki so jih posredovali italijanski organi kažejo, da so to povezavo izrecno zahtevale lokalne sardinske in korziške skupnosti.
During the (middle and high) tourist season, Saremar operates in competition with another Italian operator in a position to alter the capacity and frequency of the services it provides in response to the market situation [43].
V času (srednje in visoke) turistične sezone družba Saremar deluje v konkurenci s še enim italijanskim prevoznikom, ki lahko spreminja zmogljivost in pogostost storitev, ki jih zagotavlja kot odgovor na tržne razmere [43].
Moreover, the operator in question is not consistently present throughout the off-season.
Poleg tega zadevni prevoznik ni dosledno prisoten izven turistične sezone.
It follows from the above that the objective — which is the expression of a legitimate public interest — of providing a year-round scheduled service between two insular regions of the Community and taking account of the needs expressed by the local and regional authorities concerned could not be met by the free play of market forces.
Iz zgoraj navedenega sledi, da cilja – ki je izkaz zakonitega javnega interesa – zagotavljanja celoletnih javnih storitev med dvema otoškima regijama Skupnosti in upoštevanja potreb, ki so jih izrazili zadevni lokalni in regionalni organi, ni mogoče uresničiti s prostim delovanjem sil trga.
With regard to the international connections provided by Adriatica, the Commission has the following comments:
Glede na mednarodne povezave, ki jih zagotavlja družba Adriatica, ima Komisija naslednje pripombe:
the Brindisi/Corfu/Igoumenitsa/Patras maritime connection, which links the central regions of the Community with one of its outlying regions, is of vital importance for commercial and tourist traffic, especially in view of the instability which has made the alternative land links problematic.
Pomorska povezava Brindisi–Krf–Igoumenitsa–Patras, ki povezuje osrednje regije Skupnosti z eno izmed svojih odročnih regij, je bistvenega pomena za trgovinski in turistični promet, zlasti zaradi nestabilnosti, zaradi katerih so drugačne kopenske povezave problematične.
Moreover, in 1977, at the joint request of the Italian and Greek authorities, the said maritime connection was included in the list of rail routes and motor vehicle and shipping services covered by the International Convention of 7 February 1970 concerning the Carriage of Passengers and Luggage by Rail (CIV).
Poleg tega je bila leta 1977, na skupno zahtevo italijanskih in grških organov omenjena pomorska povezava vključena v seznam železniških prog in motornih ter pomorskih storitev, ki jih zajema Mednarodna konvencija z dne 7. februarja 1970 v zvezi s prevozom potnikov in prtljage z železnico (CIV).
To be able to provide the maritime services offered on this route, Adriatica joined the Eurail Community.
Da bi lahko zagotovila pomorske storitve, nudene na tej poti, se je družba Adriatica pridružila skupnosti Eurail.
In addition, information supplied to the Commission at the meeting of 26 October 2001 (registered under the numbers A/13408/04 and A/13409/04) shows that between 1992 and 1999 Adriatica operated an average of 265 journeys a year on this route, carrying an average of 161440 passengers, 24376 vehicles and 104437 linear metres of cargo.
Še več, informacije, sporočene Komisiji na sestanku 26. oktobra 2001 (registriranem pod številkami A/13408/04 in A/13409/04) kažejo, da je med leti 1992 in 1999 Adriatica izvedla povprečno 265 prevozov letno na tej poti, prepeljala povprečno 161440 potnikov, 24376 vozil in 104437 linearnih metrov tovora.
It must also be noted, as indicated by the Italian authorities in a letter dated 17 February 2004 (registered under the number A/13405/04), that between 1996 and 1999 Adriatica’s competitors did not provide a service offering the same guarantees in terms of the quality of the ships used and, inter alia, the regularity and frequency of service.
Prav tako se je treba seznaniti, kot navajajo italijanski organi v pismu z dne 17. februarja 2004 (registriranem pod številko A/13405/04), da med leti 1996 in 1999 konkurenti družbe Adriatica niso zagotavljali storitev, ki ponujajo ista zagotovila kar zadeva kakovost ladij, ki se uporabljajo in med drugim pravilnost in pogostost storitve.
It should be noted, however, that between 30 October 1990 and July 1994, i.e. part of the period examined for the purposes of this Decision, Adriatica was involved in a pact concerning the prices to be charged for commercial vehicles on the routes from Patras to Bari and Brindisi [44].
Vendar pa je treba opozoriti, da je bila med 30. oktobrom 1990 in julijem 1994, to je del obdobja, preverjenega za namene te odločbe, družba Adriatica vpletena v pakt, ki zadeva cene, ki se jih zaračuna za gospodarska vozila na poteh od Patrasa do Barija in Brindisija [44].
During this period, competition on the route was sufficiently keen and specific for Tirrenia to join an unlawful pact, so that the aid cannot be regarded as having been necessary to guarantee a public service.
V tem obdobju je bila konkurenca na poti primerno močna in specifična za družbo Tirrenia, da se priključi nezakonitemu paktu, tako da se pomoč ne more šteti kot pomoč, ki je potrebna, da se zagotovi javno storitev.
Despite the clarifications the Italian authorities supplied on this point by fax dated 24 February 2004 (document registered under number A/13970/04), the need for a subsidy to compensate for the obligation to provide services of general economic interest cannot be accepted if the recipient company engages in anti-competitive behaviour prohibited by Article 81 of the EC Treaty.
Kljub pojasnilom, ki so jih italijanski organi posredovali po faksu z dne 24. februarja 2004 (dokument registriran pod številko A/13970/04), potrebe po subvenciji, da izravna obveznosti iz opravljanja storitev splošnega gospodarskega interesa, ni mogoče sprejeti, če se družba prejemnica vključi v protikonkurenčno vedenje, prepovedano po členu 81 Pogodbe ES.
Although the Commission’s decision is not yet final, it has been broadly confirmed by the Court of First Instance and in any event enjoys presumption of validity.
Čeprav odločitev Komisije še ni dokončna, jo je Sodišče prve stopnje na splošno potrdilo in v vsakem primeru uživa domnevo veljavnosti.
It is true that the two procedures relating to the competition rules and to State aid respectively are independent, but the case-law requires the Commission to take account of any infringement of the competition rules when assessing the compatibility of State aid, especially if the recipient has contravened those rules [45].
Res je, da sta dva postopka, ki se nanašata na predpise o konkurenci in državno pomoč neodvisna, vendar sodna praksa zahteva, da Komisija upošteva vse kršitve predpisov o konkurenci pri ocenjevanju skladnosti državne pomoči, zlasti, če je prejemnik kršil te predpise [45].
The link between the breach of the competition rules and the aid is evident, given that the compensation was paid for the very services covered by the pact, quite aside from the question of whether the aid was used to give rise to anti-competitive behaviour.
Povezava med kršitvijo predpisov o konkurenci in pomočjo je očitna, če je bilo nadomestilo plačano za tiste storitve, ki jih zajema pakt, ne glede na vprašanje, ali je bila pomoč uporabljena, da povzroči protikonkurenčno vedenje.
Lastly, a declaration of incompatibility and recovery of the aid would in no case constitute a new penalty, but would simply result from the establishment of the aid recipient’s participation in a prohibited pact.
Nenazadnje izjava o nezdružljivosti in povračilu pomoči v nobenem primeru ne bi predstavljala nove kazni, temveč bi preprosto izhajala iz vzpostavitve sodelovanja prejemnika pomoči v prepovedanem paktu.
Given the type of service provided, which simultaneously caters for commercial vehicles, passengers and cargo, it must be concluded that the company’s involvement in a pact designed to establish the prices to be charged for commercial vehicles allows conclusions to be drawn for the connection as a whole.
Zaradi vrste zagotovljene storitve, ki istočasno zagotavlja gospodarska vozila, potnike in tovor je potrebno zaključiti, da vpletenost družbe v pakt, namenjen vzpostavitvi cen, ki se plačajo za gospodarska vozila, omogoča, da se doseže dogovor za povezave kot celota.
This is all the more evident as the pact was aimed at the very commercial vehicle traffic the Italian authorities wished to ensure through the subsidy.
To je še bolj očitno, ker je bil pakt usmerjen k zelo komercialnemu motornemu prometu, ki so ga italijanski organi želeli zagotoviti s pomočjo subvencij.
Finally, it should be noted that the connection in question was discontinued in 2000;
Končno je treba opozoriti, da je bila zadevna povezava prekinjena leta 2000.
the Trieste/Durrës maritime connection between Italy and Albania was the product of a Protocol signed by the Italian and Albanian authorities on 22 October 1983 to develop trading relations between Albania and the countries of Western Europe.
Pomorska povezava Trst–Drač med Italijo in Albanijo je bila proizvod protokola, podpisanega s strani italijanskih in albanskih organov dne 22. oktobra 1983, da bi razvijali trgovinske odnose med Albanijo in državami zahodne Evrope.
Article 5 of the Protocol charges Adriatica di Navigazione and the Albanian company Transship with organising the arrangements for services on the connection.
Člen 5 Protokola zahteva, da družba Adriatica di Navigazione in albanska družba Transship organizirata priprave za storitve na povezavi.
Leaving aside the fluctuations caused by the political situation, traffic on this route has developed considerably since 1991 [46].
Če pustimo ob strani nihanja, ki jih povzroči politična situacija, se je promet na tej poti od leta 1991 znatno razvil [46].
There is no competition on this route;
Na tej poti konkurence ni.
the other two maritime connections between Italy and Albania — Bari/Durrës and Ancona/Durrës — were not set up by an international agreement;
Drugi dve pomorski povezavi med Italijo in Albanijo – Bari–Drač in Ancona–Drač – niso bile ustanovljene z mednarodnim sporazumom.
the maritime connections between Italy and Yugoslavia (the port of Bar in Montenegro) operated from the Italian ports of Ancona and Bari have developed since 1997.
Pomorske povezave med Italijo in Jugoslavijo (pristanišče Bar v Črni gori), ki so delovale iz italijanskih pristanišč Ancona in Bari, so se razvile od leta 1997.
They meet a request made by the Montenegro authorities for there to be a permanent maritime connection between the country’s one commercial port and the northern and southern ports of Italy.
Izpolnjujejo zahtevo črnogorskih organov, da mora obstajati stalna pomorska povezava med enim gospodarskim pristaniščem v državi in severnimi ter južnimi pristanišči Italije.
Since 1998, two other operators, one from Montenegro the other Slovenian, have been operating alongside Adriatica on the Bari/Bar route;
Od leta 1998 delujeta poleg družbe Adriatica dva druga prevoznika na poti Bari–Bar, en iz Črne gore in drugi slovenski.
operation of the Ancona/Split and Bari/Dubrovnik maritime connections between Italy and Croatia, granted to private operators in 1960, was transferred to Adriatica by Law No 42 of 27 February 1978.
Delovanje pomorskih povezav Ancona–Split in Bari–Dubrovnik med Italijo in Hrvaško, ki je bilo zasebnim prevoznikom dodeljeno leta 1960, je bilo z Zakonom št. 42 z dne 27. februarja 1978 preneseno na družbo Adriatica.
The information supplied by the Italian authorities indicates that services were interrupted in 1991, and that they were resumed in 1994 at the express request of the Government of the Republic of Croatia.
Informacije, ki so jih posredovali italijanski organi kažejo, da je bila ta storitev prekinjena leta 1991 in ponovno vzpostavljena leta 1994 na izrecno prošnjo Vlade Republike Hrvaške.
Despite the fluctuations caused by the Kosovo crisis, traffic has developed considerably since 1994 [47].
Kljub nihanjem, ki jih je povzročila kosovska kriza, se je promet od leta 1994 znatno razvil [47].
Two shipping companies, one Croatian the other Liberian, compete with Adriatica on this market.
Dve ladjarski družbi, ena hrvaška in druga liberijska, na tem trgu konkurirata z družbo Adriatica.
It emerges from the above that, in terms of the services it provides pursuant to an accord or an international agreement, Adriatica was charged with a mission of general interest entailing costs which the company would not have incurred had it acted purely according to its commercial interest.
Iz zgoraj omenjenega je razvidno, da v skladu s storitvami, ki jih zagotavlja v skladu s soglasjem ali mednarodnim sporazumom, je bila družba Adriatica pristojna za nalogo v splošnem interesu, katere posledica so stroški, ki ne bi nastali, če bi delovala zgolj v skladu s svojim komercialnim interesom.
This does not apply to the Brindisi/Corfu/Igoumenitsa/Patras connection for the period from January 1992 to July 1994, during which Adriatica was involved in a pact prohibited by Article 81 of the EC Treaty.
To ne velja za povezavo Brindisi–Krf–Igoumenitsa–Patras za obdobje od januarja 1992 do julija 1994, v katerem je bila družba Adriatica vključena v pakt, ki ga je prepovedoval člen 81 Pogodbe.
Nor does it apply in respect of services on international connections which the company has built up and which do not derive from such an accord or agreement.
Ne velja tudi za storitve na mednarodnih povezavah, ki jih je družba oblikovala in ki ne izhajajo iz takšnega soglasja ali sporazuma.
This is true, in particular, for the Bari/Durrës and Ancona/Durrës connections.
To zlasti velja za povezavi Bari–Drač in Ancona–Drač.
In any event, the operating results on these two routes are positive, so that no compensation has been paid to Adriatica in respect of the services provided.
V vsakem primeru so rezultati delovanja na teh dveh poteh pozitivni, tako da družbi Adriatica ni bilo plačano nadomestilo za zagotovljene storitve.
Instead, the analytical accounts supplied to the Commission show that the resulting profits help to reduce the size of the annual balancing subsidy paid for the services provided on the loss-making routes.
Namesto tega analitične evidence, dostavljene Komisiji kažejo, da dobički pomagajo znižati velikost letne uravnalne subvencije, plačane za storitve, zagotovljene na poteh z izgubo.
For the obligations imposed on the regional companies to be able to give rise to compensation and for the Commission to be able to verify that the amount of compensation is limited to what is strictly necessary, these obligations need to be specified in advance by the competent public authorities.
Za obveznosti, ki so naložene regionalnim družbam, da bi lahko povzročile nadomestilo in da bi Komisija lahko preverila, da je znesek nadomestila omejen na tisto, kar je nujno potrebno, morajo biti te obveznosti določene vnaprej s strani pristojnih javnih organov.
In this regard, the Commission notes that the services provided by each regional company are specified in the abovementioned five-year plans.
V tej zvezi Komisija ugotavlja, da so storitve, ki jih zagotavlja vsaka regionalna družba, določene v zgoraj omenjenih petletnih načrtih.
These detail the ports to be used and the frequencies to be observed in the high and low seasons, as well as the type of ship to be assigned to each route.
Te določajo pristanišča, ki se uporabljajo in pogostosti, ki jo je treba opazovati v visokih in nizkih sezonah, kot tudi vrsto ladje, ki je dodeljena vsaki poti.
The resulting network of services may nonetheless be adapted in response to changes in demand for transport on the routes in question over each five-year period.
Omrežje storitev, ki iz tega izhaja, se vseeno lahko prilagodi kot odgovor na spremembe v povpraševanju po prevozu na zadevnih poteh za vsako petletno obdobje.
The information supplied by the Italian authorities shows that such adaptations are made only at the request of the local communities concerned, which approach the Ministry of Transport, the authority charged with supervising the regional companies, to request a change in frequencies or timetables.
Informacije, ki so jih posredovale italijanski organi kažejo, da pride do takšnih sprememb samo na zahtevo zadevnih lokalnih skupnosti, ki pri Ministrstvu za promet, organu, ki je pristojen za nadzor regionalnih družb, zahtevajo spremembo pogostosti in urnikov.
Such applications are assessed individually at interministerial level, inter alia, with reference to their financial implications for the operating costs of the company concerned.
Takšne prijave so ocenjene posamezno na medresorski ravni, med drugim v zvezi z njihovimi finančnimi vplivi za stroške delovanja zadevne družbe.
Any alteration to the network of services over the five-year period is therefore covered by a preliminary administrative decision addressed to the concessionary company.
Vsaka sprememba omrežja storitev preko petletnega obdobja se torej krije s predhodno upravno odločbo, naslovljeno na koncesijsko družbo.
