Having called on interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to the provisions cited above [1],
po pozivu zainteresiranim strankam k predložitvi njihovih pripomb na podlagi zgoraj navedenih določb [1],
In April 2003 the Italian authorities notified the Commission, pursuant to Article 88(3) of the Treaty, of an aid scheme for investments in selected areas.
Italijanski organi so aprila 2003 v skladu s členom 88(3) Pogodbe uradno obvestili Komisijo o shemi pomoči za naložbe na izbranih območjih.
As the entry into force of the scheme was not made subject to prior approval by the Commission, it was registered as illegal aid under number NN 53/03.
Ker shema ni začela veljati s predhodnim soglasjem Komisije, je bila registrirana kot nezakonita pomoč pod številko NN 53/2003.
Additional information was submitted by the Italian authorities on 4 July 2003.
Italijanski organi so 4. julija 2003 predložili dodatne podatke.
On 17 September 2003 the Commission decided to initiate the formal investigation procedure pursuant to Article 88(2) of the Treaty (the decision initiating the procedure) and requested Italy to provide all the necessary information for assessing the measure.
Komisija se je 17. septembra 2003 odločila, da začne formalni postopek preiskave v skladu s členom 88(2) Pogodbe („odločitev za začetek postopka“), in zahtevala, da Italija predloži vse potrebne podatke za ovrednotenje ukrepa.
The Commission decision was published in the Official Journal of the European Union [2].
Sklep Komisije je bil objavljen v Uradnem listu Evropske unije [2].
No comments were received from interested parties or from Italy.
S strani zainteresiranih strank in Italije ni bila prejeta nobena pripomba.
On 16 December 2003 the Commission again invited Italy to provide information, indicating that, in the absence of a reply, it was empowered to adopt an information injunction pursuant to Article 10(3) 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 [3].
Komisija je 16. decembra 2003 spet pozvala Italijo, da predloži podatke, in navedla, da lahko ob odsotnosti odgovora sprejme odredbo o predložitvi podatkov v skladu s členom 10(3) Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 z dne 22. marca 1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 93 Pogodbe ES [3].
No information was received from Italy.
Italija ni predložila nobenih podatkov.
By decision of 22 April 2004, the Commission enjoined Italy to submit all the relevant information necessary for the complete assessment of the measure within one month.
Komisija je z odločbo z dne 22. aprila 2004 zahtevala od Italije, da v enem mesecu predloži vse pomembne podatke, potrebne za popolno ovrednotenje ukrepa.
No information was received from Italy within the deadline.
Italija v tem roku ni predložila nobenih podatkov.
On 26 May 2004 Italy requested an extension of 15 working days in order to reply to the information injunction.
Italija je 26. maja 2004 zahtevala petnajstdnevno podaljšanje roka za odgovor na odredbo o predložitvi podatkov.
The Commission, while informing Italy that the deadline set by Commission decision had expired, acknowledged Italy’s intention to submit information by 17 June 2004.
Komisija je sporočila Italiji, da je potekel rok, določen z Odločbo Komisije, vendar potrdila namen Italije, da predloži podatke do 17. junija 2004.
By letter dated 17 June 2004 (registered on 22 June 2004), Italy submitted additional information.
Italija je predložila dodatne podatke v dopisu z dne 17. junija 2004 (vpisan v evidenco 22. junija 2004).
The legal basis for the aid scheme is Article 94(14) of Law No 289 of 27 December 2002 (Finance Act for 2003).
Pravna podlaga za shemo pomoči je člen 94(14) Zakona št. 289 z dne 27. decembra 2002 (Zakon o financah za leto 2003).
The aim of the aid scheme is to promote investments in specific areas of the Italian territory, for regional development objectives.
Cilj sheme pomoči je spodbujati naložbe na določenih območjih Italije za regionalni razvoj.
The scheme is to last until 31 December 2006 and the annual budget for 2003, 2004 and 2005 is EUR 2 million.
Shema poteče 31. decembra 2006 in letni proračun za leta 2003, 2004 in 2005 znaša 2 milijona EUR.
As in the case of two other Italian regional aid schemes approved by the Commission [4], of which the notified scheme is in practice a territorial extension, the aid is given in the form of a tax credit for investments in depreciable assets.
Pomoč se dodeli v obliki davčnih dobropisov za naložbe v amortizacijska sredstva, tako kot v primeru dveh drugih italijanskih shem regionalne pomoči, ki ju je odobrila Komisija [4] in katerih priglašena shema je v praksi širitev pomoči na več območij.
The aid is granted for ‘net’ investments, identified as the difference between (1) the amount of investments in new assets over a given period and (2) the amount of sales and depreciation of all the enterprise’s assets in the same period.
Pomoč je odobrena za „neto“ naložbe, opredeljene kot razlika med (1) zneskom naložb v novih sredstvih v določenem obdobju in (2) zneskom prodaje in amortizacije premoženja podjetja v istem obdobju.
The aid intensity is indicated as 8 % nge, with a top-up of 10 percentage points gross for small enterprises and 6 percentage points gross for medium-sized enterprises.
Navedena intenzivnost pomoči je 8 % neto ekvivalenta dotacije z dodatkom 10 odstotnih točk bruto za mala podjetja in 6 odstotnih točk bruto za srednja podjetja.
Beneficiaries of the aid scheme are enterprises belonging to a wide range of sectors [5] that carry out investments in the areas listed in Article 4 of Law No 448 of 23 December 1998 and in Ministry of Finance Circular No 161 of 25 August 2000.
Upravičenci sheme pomoči so podjetja z različnih področij [5], ki izvajajo naložbe na območjih iz člena 4 Zakona št. 448 z dne 23. decembra 1998 in Okrožnice Ministrstva za finance št. 161 z dne 25. avgusta 2000.
These areas are:
Ta območja so:
the provinces of Agrigento, Avellino, Bari, Benevento, Brindisi, Cagliari, Caltanissetta, Campobasso, Caserta, Catania, Catanzaro, Cosenza, Crotone Enna, Foggia, Frosinone, Isernia, Lecce, Massa, Matera, Messina, Napoli, Nuoro, Oristano, Palermo, Potenza, Reggio Calabria, Salerno, Sassari Siracusa, Taranto, Trapani, Vibo Valentia and Viterbo;
pokrajine Agrigento, Avellino, Bari, Benevento, Brindisi, Cagliari, Caltanissetta, Campobasso, Caserta, Catania, Catanzaro, Cosenza, Crotone Enna, Foggia, Frosinone, Isernia, Lecce, Massa, Matera, Messina, Neapelj, Nuoro, Oristano, Palermo, Potenza, Reggio Calabria, Salerno, Sassari Siracusa, Taranto, Trapani, Vibo Valentia in Viterbo,
the municipalities of Tivoli (Rome), Formia (Latina), Sora (Frosinone) and Cassino (Frosinone).
občine Tivoli (Rim), Formia (Latina), Sora (Frosinone) in Cassino (Frosinone).
The scheme does not apply to the production, processing and marketing of agricultural products, to the transport sector or to the steel industry as defined in the multisectoral framework on regional aid for large investment projects [6].
Ta shema ne velja za proizvodnjo, predelavo in trženje kmetijskih proizvodov, prevozni sektor ter jeklarsko industrijo, kot je opredeljeno v večsektorskem okviru za regionalno pomoč, namenjeno večjim naložbenim projektom [6].
Neither does it apply to firms in difficulty as defined in the Community guidelines on state aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty [7].
Poleg tega ne velja za podjetja v težavah, kot so opredeljena v smernicah Skupnosti o državni pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah [7].
A detailed description of all the conditions that enterprises must meet to qualify for the aid is given in the decision initiating the procedure [8].
Odločitev za začetek postopka vsebuje podroben opis vseh pogojev, ki jih morajo podjetja izpolnjevati za upravičenost do pomoči [8].
In the decision initiating the procedure, the Commission considered that the measure constituted state aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty and expressed doubts regarding its compatibility with the common market, as it provides for regional investment aid in areas which are not eligible for the regional derogations in Article 87(3)(a) and (c) of the Treaty.
Komisija je v odločitvi za začetek postopka izrazila mnenje, da ukrep pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe, in izrazila dvom v zvezi z njegovo združljivostjo s skupnim trgom, saj določa regionalno pomoč za naložbe na območjih, ki niso upravičena do regionalnih odstopanj iz člena 87(3)(a) in (c) Pogodbe.
A detailed description of the grounds for initiating the procedure, which were not challenged by Italy, is given in the decision initiating the procedure [9].
Odločitev za začetek postopka vsebuje podroben opis razlogov za začetek postopka, katerim Italija ni ugovarjala [9].
ASSESSMENT OF THE AID
OVREDNOTENJE POMOČI
The scheme provides for tax credits for investments in specific areas, listed in legislative and administrative provisions.
Shema predvideva davčne dobropise za naložbe na določenih območjih, določenih v zakonih in drugih predpisih.
The Commission considers that this confers an economic advantage on certain undertakings through state resources and that it distorts competition and affects trade between Member States, for the reasons set out in the decision initiating the procedure [10].
Komisija meni, da to daje gospodarsko prednost določenim podjetjem s pomočjo državnih sredstev, povzroča izkrivljanje konkurence in vpliva na trgovino med državami članicami iz razlogov, navedenih v odločitvi za začetek postopka [10].
Consequently, the measure under examination constitutes aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty and is in principle prohibited.
Zato pomeni ukrep, ki se proučuje, pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe in je načeloma prepovedan.
It can be considered compatible with the common market only if it qualifies for one of the derogations provided for in the Treaty.
S skupnim trgom je združljiv le, če se uvršča med odstopanja, določena v Pogodbi.
In so far as the measure constitutes aid, the Commission regrets that, by putting the measure into effect before approval by the Commission, Italy has not fulfilled its obligation under Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Ker ukrep pomeni pomoč, Komisija obžaluje, da Italija z začetkom veljave ukrepa, preden je bil ta odobren s strani Komisije, ni izpolnila svoje obveznosti iz člena 88(3) Pogodbe.
In this respect, in the decision initiating the procedure the Commission expressed several doubts as to the compatibility of the aid scheme with the common market.
Komisija je v zvezi s tem v odločitvi za začetek postopka izrazila več dvomov o združljivosti sheme pomoči s skupnim trgom.
The Commission considers that all the doubts expressed at that time are confirmed.
Komisija meni, da so vsi dvomi, izraženi v navedenem času, utemeljeni.
The scheme provides for aid to be granted in areas that are not eligible for the derogations in Article 87(3)(a) and (c) of the Treaty.
shema predvideva pomoč, dodeljeno na območjih, ki niso upravičena do odstopanj iz člena 87(3)(a) in (c) Pogodbe.
On the basis of the Italian regional aid map for 2000-2006 [13], the provinces of Campobasso, Frosinone, Isernia, Massa Carrara and Viterbo and the municipalities of Tivoli and Formia are not entirely eligible for the derogations in question.
Pokrajine Campobasso, Frosinone, Isernia, Massa Carrara in Viterbo ter občini Tivoli in Formia niso v celoti upravičene do zadevnih odstopanj na podlagi regionalnega zemljevida pomoči Italije za 2000–2006 [13].
Therefore, no regional aid scheme can be applied in these areas;
Zato na teh območjih ne more veljati nobena shema regionalne pomoči;
The scheme appears to provide for aid also in areas that are eligible for the derogations in Article 87(3)(a) and (c) of the Treaty.
shema domnevno predvideva pomoč tudi za območja, ki so upravičena do odstopanj iz člena 87(3)(a) in (c) Pogodbe.
However, in these areas aid schemes providing for an identical tax credit for investments have already been approved by the Commission [14] and can be applied.
Toda na teh območjih so bile sheme pomoči, ki predvidevajo enak davčni dobropis za naložbe, že odobrene s strani Komisije [14] in se lahko uporabljajo.
The Commission therefore considers it possible that the scheme under examination will be applied mainly in the areas indicated in point (a) above;
Komisija zato meni, da je mogoče, da se bo shema v preiskavi uporabljala predvsem na območjih iz zgoraj navedene točke (a);
The scheme does not clearly indicate the commitment to comply with the specific rules laid down in the guidelines for the examination of state aid to fisheries and aquaculture [15], in Council Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 of 17 December 1999 laying down the detailed rules and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries sector [16] and in Council Regulation (EC) No 2369/2002 of 20 December 2002 amending Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 laying down the detailed rules and arrangements regarding Community structural assistance in the fisheries sector [17].
shema ne navaja jasne zavezanosti spoštovanju pravil iz smernic za pregled državne pomoči za ribištvo in ribogojstvo [15] v Uredbi Sveta (ES) št. 2792/1999 z dne 17. decembra 1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil in sporazumov glede strukturne pomoči Skupnosti v ribiškem sektorju [16], in v Uredbi Sveta (ES) št. 2369/2002 z dne 20. decembra 2002 o spremembi Uredbe (ES) št. 2792/1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil in sporazumov glede strukturne pomoči Skupnosti v ribiškem sektorju [17].
The Commission was unaware of whether aid had been awarded on the basis of the scheme and in which areas, since Italy had not provided any information.
Komisija ni vedela, ali je bila pomoč dodeljena na podlagi sheme in na katerih območjih, ker Italija ni predložila nobenih podatkov.
The Commission therefore issued an information injunction.
Komisija je zato izdala odredbo o predložitvi podatkov.
Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, where, despite an information injunction, the Member State concerned does not provide the information requested the Commission can take a decision on unlawful aid on the basis of the information available.
Kadar država članica kljub odredbi o predložitvi podatkov ne predloži zahtevanih podatkov, lahko Komisija na podlagi razpoložljivih podatkov in v skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 659/1999 sprejme odločbo o nezakoniti pomoči.
Italy did not reply to the information injunction within the deadline set by Commission decision.
Italija se ni odzvala na odredbo o predložitvi podatkov v roku, določenem v odločbi Komisije.
However, the Commission intends to take into account the information submitted by Italy outside that deadline, in which Italy stated that:
Toda Komisija namerava upoštevati podatke, ki jih je Italija predložila zunaj roka in v katerih navaja, da:
the aid scheme has so far not been applied,
shema pomoči do zdaj še ni bila uporabljena,
no undertaking has received aid under the scheme because, since its inception in 2002, the corresponding administrative instructions have not been adopted, nor has the necessary tax code for using the tax credit procedure been established.
v okviru sheme pomoči ni od njene zasnove leta 2002 prejelo pomoči nobeno podjetje, poleg tega niso bila sprejeta ustrezna upravna navodila in davčna zakonodaja, potrebna za postopek davčnega dobropisa.
The Commission takes note of Italy’s statement that no undertaking has received aid under the scheme.
Komisija upošteva izjavo Italije, da v okviru sheme pomoči ni prejelo pomoči nobeno podjetje.
It also notes that the legislative provisions introducing the tax credit entered into force on 1 January 2003, conferring the right to the tax incentive without reference to subsequent administrative instructions, and are still in force.
Upošteva tudi, da so zakonske določbe za uveljavitev davčnega dobropisa – ki podeljujejo pravico do davčnih olajšav brez sklicevanja na poznejša upravna navodila – začele veljati 1. januarja 2003 in še vedno veljajo.
Italy has not given any commitment or indication as to the withdrawal of the aid scheme in the future.
Italija ni prevzela nobene obveze in ni navedla ničesar v zvezi z ukinitvijo sheme pomoči v prihodnosti.
The Commission therefore considers it appropriate to take a decision on the scheme.
Komisija zato meni, da je treba sprejeti odločitev o shemi.
On the basis of the information available, the regional aid scheme under examination is applicable in areas which are not eligible for regional aid.
Na podlagi razpoložljivih podatkov se regionalna shema pomoči v preiskavi uporablja na območjih, ki niso upravičena do regionalne pomoči.
The Commission cannot consider the aid scheme compatible with the common market on the basis of the Community guidelines on national regional aid, for the reasons given in paragraphs 15 and 16 above and set out in detail in the decision initiating the procedure [18].
Komisija sheme pomoči iz razlogov, navedenih v odstavkih 15 in 16 ter natančneje določenih v odločitvi za začetek postopka, na podlagi smernic Komisije o državni regionalni pomoči, ne more šteti za združljivo s skupnim trgom [18].
The Commission finds that the measure under examination constitutes state aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty.
Komisija ugotavlja, da pomeni ukrep, ki se proučuje, državno pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe.
Italy has unlawfully implemented the aid in question, in breach of Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Italija je nezakonito uvedla zadevno pomoč, ki krši člen 88(3) Pogodbe.
On the basis of the analysis carried out in points 15 to 20 above, the Commission considers that the aid is incompatible with the common market.
Komisija na podlagi analize iz zgoraj navedenih točk 15 do 20 meni, da pomoč ni združljiva s skupnim trgom.
This Decision, concerning the aid scheme providing for tax credits for investment and any cases in which it has been applied, must be implemented immediately, including recovery of any individual award of incompatible aid already granted,
Ta odločba v zvezi s shemo pomoči, ki predvideva davčni dobropis za naložbe, in s primeri, kjer je bila uporabljena, se mora začeti izvajati nemudoma, vključno z izterjavami vsakršne posamezne že odobrene nezdružljive pomoči –
The state aid scheme providing for tax credits for investments, which Italy has unlawfully put into effect in breach of Article 88(3) of the Treaty, is incompatible with the common market.
Shema državne pomoči, ki predvideva davčni dobropis za naložbe in jo je Italija uvedla nezakonito, s kršitvijo člena 88(3) Pogodbe, ni združljiva s skupnim trgom.
Italy shall withdraw the aid scheme in question, in so far as it continues to have effect, and shall from the date of this Decision refrain from making any aid payment under the scheme.
Italija mora ukiniti zadevno shemo pomoči, če ta še vedno velja, in se od datuma te odločbe vzdržati vsakršnega plačila pomoči v okviru sheme.
In so far as any aid has already been granted under the scheme referred to in Article 1, Italy shall take all necessary measures to recover it from the recipients.
Italija v primeru, da je bila v okviru sheme iz člena 1 že dodeljena kakršna koli pomoč, sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe za izterjavo od prejemnikov.
Recovery shall be effected without delay in accordance with the procedures of national law provided that they allow the immediate and effective implementation of this Decision.
Izterjava se izvede nemudoma v skladu s postopki po državni zakonodaji, če ti dopuščajo takojšnjo in učinkovito izvedbo te odločbe.
The aid to be recovered shall include interest from the date on which it was made available to the recipient until the date of its recovery.
Izterjana pomoč vključuje obresti od datuma, ko je bila pomoč na voljo prejemniku, do datuma povračila.
Interest shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 [19].Article 3
Obresti se izračunajo v skladu z določbami Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 [19].Člen 3
Italy shall inform the Commission, within two months of notification of this Decision, of the action taken to comply with it, indicating in detail the measures adopted to withdraw the incompatible scheme and providing documentation on those measures.
Italija v dveh mesecih od uradnega obvestila o tej odločbi obvesti Komisijo o ukrepih, ki jih sprejme za uskladitev s to odločbo, z natančno navedbo ukrepov za ukinitev nezdružljive sheme, in predloži podatke o navedenih ukrepih.

The aid scheme does not qualify for the derogations in Article 87(2) of the Treaty or for the derogations in Article 87(3)(b) and (d), for obvious reasons, as already indicated in the decision initiating the procedure [11]. As the aid scheme concerns the promotion of investments for regional development, and was notified by Italy as regional aid, the Commission has examined its compatibility with the common market in the light of the Community guidelines on national regional aid [12].
Shema pomoči se iz očitnih razlogov, ki so bili navedeni že v odločitvi za začetek postopka, ne uvršča med odstopanja iz člena 87(2) Pogodbe ali med odstopanja iz člena 87(3)(b) in (d) Pogodbe [11] Ker shema pomoči zadeva spodbujanje naložb v regionalni razvoj in jo je Italija priglasila kot regionalno pomoč, je Komisija pregledala njeno združljivost s skupnim trgom v luči smernic Komisije o državni regionalni pomoči [12].
