on the Brindisi/Corfu/Igoumenitsa/Patras route, Adriatica made 140 journeys in 1999, the last year in which it operated the connection, carrying 10 % of the passengers travelling on the route.
na poti Brindisi–Krf–Igoumenitsa–Patras je družba Adriatica leta 1999 opravila 140 potovanj, zadnje leto, katerega je delovala na tej povezavi, je prepeljala 10 % potnikov, ki so potovali na tej poti.
In 1998, Adriatica held 12 % of the mixed transport market on this route.
Leta 1998 je družba Adriatica pokrivala 12 % trga kombiniranega prevoza na tej poti.
In view of the features of the connection in question (see recital 94), the Commission considers that the compensation paid to Adriatica to operate this route has not affected trade to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Glede na značilnosti zadevne povezave (glej uvodno izjavo 94) Komisija meni, da nadomestilo, plačano družbi Adriatica, da deluje na tej poti, ni vplivalo na trgovino do obsega, ki je v nasprotju s skupnim interesom.
The same may not be said in respect of the period from January 1992 to July 1994, during which Adriatica and its competitors were involved in a pact fixing the tariffs to be applied to commercial vehicles.
Ne moremo trditi enako kar zadeva obdobje od januarja 1992 do julija 1994, ko so bile družba Adriatica in njene konkurentke vpletene v pakt o določanju tarif, ki se uporabljajo pri gospodarskih vozilih.
During this period, the distortion of competition caused by the aid compounded the distortion caused by the pact.
V tem obdobju je izkrivljanje konkurence, ki jo je povzročila pomoč, poravnala izkrivljanje, ki ga je povzročil pakt.
Given the type of connection in question, the pact targeting one particular category of tariffs had a distorting effect on all the services being offered.
Zaradi vrste zadevne povezave je imel pakt, ki je bil osredotočen na eno posebno kategorijo tarif, izkrivljajoč učinek na vse ponujene storitve.
In view of these considerations, and notwithstanding the arguments adduced by the Italian authorities, which have already been refuted (see recital 94(a)), the Commission considers that the aid has affected the development of trade to an extent contrary to the common interest and that, inter alia, for this reason, it must be declared incompatible with the common market.
Glede na te poudarke in ne glede na argumente, ki so jih navedli italijanski organi, ki so že bili ovrženi zgoraj (glej uvodno izjavo 94(a)), Komisija meni, da je pomoč vplivala na trgovino v takšnem obsegu, da bi to bilo v nasprotju s skupnim interesom in da jo je treba, med drugim iz tega razloga, šteti za nezdružljive s skupnim trgom.
With regard to the investment scheduled in the five-year plans, the Commission, in its decision initiating the investigation procedure, expressed doubts regarding the financing arrangements for the investments needed in order to provide the services subsidised under the 1991 agreements.
Za naložbe, dogovorjene v petletnem načrtu, je Komisija, v svoji odločitvi o sprožitvi preiskovalnega postopka, izrazila dvome v zvezi s finančnimi sporazumi za naložbe, potrebne za zagotavljanje storitev, subvencioniranih v skladu s sporazumi iz leta 1991.
In particular, it wanted to check the extent to which the costs of ship acquisition and depreciation entered into the calculation of the annual compensation.
Zlasti je hotela preveriti obseg, do katerega so stroški nakupa ladij in amortizacije vključeni v izračunavanje letnega nadomestila.
In addition, the fact that the regional companies were guaranteed a subsidy which included the cost of depreciation of their fleet until 2008 could, in the Commission’s view, be seen as an implicit guarantee on the part of the Italian State, enabling the public operator not to shoulder the economic risk inherent in any investment.
Poleg tega bi se lahko dejstvo, da je bila regionalnim družbam zagotovljena subvencija, ki je vključevala stroške amortizacije njihovega ladjevja do leta 2008, po mnenju Komisije obravnavalo kot implicitno zagotovilo s strani italijanske države, ki omogoča javnemu prevozniku, da ne prevzame gospodarskega tveganja, povezanega v kateri koli naložbi.
The first point to be borne in mind is that the agreements require the regional companies to use vessels less than 20 years old on the subsidised routes and stipulate that they must normally own these vessels unless an exemption is expressly granted by the public authorities.
Prva točka, ki jo je treba upoštevati je, da sporazumi zahtevajo, da regionalne družbe uporabljajo plovila, ki še niso stara 20 let, na subvencioniranih poteh in določa, da morajo običajno biti lastniki teh plovil, razen če so javni organi izrecno odobrili izjemo.
This obligation, which constitutes a public service obligation, has led the regional companies to renew a substantial part of their fleet over the last few years, given the age reached by the vessels used on the routes covered by the first five-year plan (1990 to 1994).
Ta obveznost, ki pomeni obveznosti iz opravljanja javnih storitev, je pripeljala regionalne družbe do tega, da so prenovile bistveni del svojega ladjevja v zadnjih petih letih, glede na starost, ki so jo dosegla plovila, ki so bila uporabljena na poteh, ki ga je pokrival prvi petletni načrt (1990-1994).
In addition, the type of ship to be used on each of the various routes served by the companies is laid down by a ministerial decree approving or amending each five-year plan.
Poleg tega vrsta ladje, ki se uporablja na vsaki izmed različnih poti, na katerih delujejo družbe, določena z ministrskim odlokom, odobrava ali spreminja vsak petletni načrt.
The acquisition of any new ship, just like the transfer or decommissioning of the oldest ships, has to be authorised by ministerial decree, which will also specify the service to which the vessel is to be assigned.
Nakup kakršne koli nove ladje, tako kot prenos ali razgradnjo najstarejših ladij, mora odobriti ministrski odlok, ki tudi določa storitev, ki je dodeljena vsakemu plovilu.
The regional companies’ investments must also accord with the strategy for developing the services they provide during the five-year reference period, which strategy is formulated in the five-year plan approved by the public authority.
Naložbe regionalnih družb morajo biti skladne s strategijo za razvoj storitev, ki jih zagotavljajo v petletnem referenčnem obdobju, katerega strategija je izoblikovana v petletnem načrtu, ki so ga odobrili javni organi.
In view of these specific rules, the Commission has established whether, during the 1990 to 1994 and 1995 to 1999 five-year periods, the costs of acquiring new ships and the depreciation costs of the ships the regional companies used on the public service routes, on the one hand, fulfilled the requirements stipulated by the Italian authorities and, on the other, were taken into account in a proportionate manner when calculating the annual compensation.
Glede na ta posebna pravila je Komisija preverila, če so, v letih 1990-1994 in 1995-1999 v petletnih obdobjih, stroški nakupa novih ladij in stroški amortizacije ladij regionalnih družb, uporabljenih na poteh javnih storitev, na eni strani, izpolnile zahteve, ki so jih določili italijanski organi in, na drugi strani, so bile upoštevane na sorazmeren način pri izračunavanju letnega nadomestila.
The information supplied by the Italian authorities shows that, when new vessels have been introduced, older vessels have simultaneously been decommissioned, with the result that there has been no overall increase in capacity linked to the renewal of the regional companies’ fleets.
Informacije, ki so jih posredovali italijanski organi kažejo, da ko so bila uvedena nova plovila, so bila starejša plovila istočasno razgrajena, tako da ni prišlo do skupnega povečanja zmogljivosti, povezane z obnovo ladjevja regionalnih družb.
As far as the cost of acquiring new vessels is concerned, the same information shows that these purchases were made partly with each company’s own resources and partly by means of bank loans.
Kar zadeva stroške nakupa novih plovil iste informacije kažejo, da so bili ti nakupi izvedeni delno z lastnimi sredstvi vsake družbe in delno z bančnimi posojili.
It also shows that the interest rates charged by the credit institutions involved are in line with rates enjoyed during the same period by companies of comparable size and turnover in other sectors of the economy [58].
Kažejo tudi, da so obrestne mere, ki jih zaračunajo vpletene kreditne institucije, v skladu z merami, ki jih v istem obdobju uživajo družbe primerljive velikosti in prometa v drugih sektorjih gospodarstva [58].
In addition, it shows that the regional companies did not enjoy any direct guarantee from the Italian authorities regarding the repayment of these loans.
Poleg tega kažejo, da regionalne družbe niso uživale nikakršnega zagotovila od italijanskih organov v zvezi s povračilom teh posojil.
The Commission acknowledges that the very existence of an agreement with the State assured investors that their commitments would be honoured and enabled the regional companies to modernise their fleets without bearing the economic risks which would have been borne by a commercial operator.
Komisija priznava, da je sam obstoj sporazuma z državo investitorjem zagotovil, da bi njihove obveznosti potrdile in omogočile regionalne družbe, da posodobijo svoja ladjevja brez gospodarskih tveganj, ki bi jih kril gospodarski prevoznik.
This advantage — which could be likened to an implicit guarantee [59] and thus constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty — is, however, intrinsic to the arrangements introduced by the agreements, which were concluded for a twenty-year period before Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92 and the 1997 Community guidelines on State aid to maritime transport [60], later replaced by the 2004 Community guidelines [61], entered into force.
Ta prednost – ki bi lahko bila povezana z implicitnim zagotovilom [59] in tako pomenila državno pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe – pa je značilna za dogovore, ki so jih uvedli sporazumi, ki so bili sklenjeni za dvajset letno obdobje pred Uredbo (EGS) št. 3577/92 in Smernicami Skupnosti leta 1997 o državni pomoči pomorskemu prometu [60], kasneje nadomeščenimi s Smernicami Skupnosti leta 2004 [61], ki so začele veljati.
In addition, as already noted, the new vessels acquired by the regional companies under the public service agreements are assigned exclusively to the scheduled services specified in the five-year plans.
Poleg tega, kot že navedeno, so nova plovila, ki so jih regionalne družbe kupile s sporazumi o javnih storitvah, izključno dodeljena rednim storitvam, določenim v petletnih načrtih.
Consequently, this advantage, which is an integral part of the public service agreement, qualifies for the exemption provided for in Article 86(2) of the Treaty.
Zato je ta prednost, ki je sestavni del sporazuma o javnih storitvah, upravičena do opustitve iz člena 86(2) Pogodbe.
Regarding the depreciation costs of the ships used by the regional companies on the routes covered by the five-year plans, the Commission notes that these are one of the cost elements which, under the terms of Article 5 of the agreement, enter into the calculation of the annual subsidy.
Kar zadeva stroške amortizacije ladij, ki jih uporabljajo regionalne družbe na poteh, ki jih pokrivajo petletni načrti, Komisija ugotavlja, da so ti en izmed stroškovnih elementov, ki so, pod pogoji iz člena 5 sporazuma, vključeni v izračunavanje letne subvencije.
Depreciation is calculated linearly over a 20-year period, with the exception of ultra-high-speed vessels, for which the duration is limited to 15 years.
Amortizacija se izračuna linearno za obdobje 20 let, z izjemo superhitrih plovil, za katere je trajanje omejeno na 15 let.
As the depreciation of vessels used to serve connections recognised by the Italian authorities as being of general interest is calculated according to criteria laid down in the agreements, and as examination of the analytical accounts of these routes has revealed no element of overcompensation in this respect in the two five-year periods considered, the Commission considers that the mechanism the agreements introduced to take vessel depreciation into account when calculating the annual compensation may be authorised under Article 86(2) of the Treaty.
Ker se amortizacija plovil, ki se uporabljajo na povezavah, ki jih prepoznavajo italijanski organi kot povezave splošnega interesa, izračunava v skladu z merili, določenimi v sporazumih in ker preverjanje analitičnih evidenc teh poti ni razkrilo pri tem nobenih elementov previsokega povračila v dveh zadevnih petletnih obdobjih, Komisija meni, da se mehanizem, ki so ga sporazumi uvedli, da pri izračunavanju letnega nadomestila upoštevajo amortizacijo plovil, lahko določijo iz člena 86(2) Pogodbe.
The provision of services recognised as being of general interest presupposes the use of vessels of a type and capacity specified in advance by the public authorities and whose depreciation may thus be taken into account when calculating the annual compensation provided that the vessels in question were acquired by the company under normal market conditions and in order to perform the tasks entrusted to it and are used exclusively for scheduled transport services on the routes covered by the agreement.
Opravljanje storitev, priznano kot splošni interes, predvideva uporabo plovil vrste in zmogljivosti, določene vnaprej s strani javnih organov in katerih amortizacija se tako lahko upošteva pri izračunavanju letnega nadomestila, pod pogojem, da so zadevna plovila pridobile družbe pod normalnimi tržnimi pogoji in za opravljanje nalog, ki so jim zaupane in se uporabljajo izrecno za redne prevozne storitve na poteh, ki jih pokriva sporazum.
In the case of the regional companies, the Commission notes that all the vessels in question are used exclusively for scheduled services recognised as being of general interest and that, as a result, their depreciation may be taken fully into account when the annual subsidy is calculated.
V primeru regionalnih družb Komisija ugotavlja, da se vsa zadevna plovila uporabljajo zgolj za redne storitve, ki se uporabljajo kot splošni interes in da se, kot rezultat tega, njihovo avtomatizacijo upošteva pri izračunavanju letne subvencije.
The same is true for the investments needed to provide the services prescribed by the Italian authorities for the 2000 to 2004 five-year period, which correspond, in terms of type and capacity, to the commitments entered into by those authorities regarding the level of service.
Isto velja za naložbe, ki so potrebne za zagotovitev storitev, ki jih predpisujejo italijanski organi za petletno obdobje 2000-2004, ki ustrezajo, v smislu vrste in zmogljivosti, obveznostim, ki so jih sklenili organi v zvezi z ravnijo storitve.
Regarding the additional investments scheduled in the business plan for 1999 to 2002, it should be pointed out that implementation of this plan was suspended following the initiation of the procedure.
Kar zadeva dodatne naložbe, razvrščene v poslovnem načrtu za leta 1999 do 2002 je treba poudariti, da je bilo izvajanje tega načrta izvršeno po začetku tega postopka.
Compatibility with other provisions of Community law
Skladnost z drugimi določbami prava Skupnosti
The case-law has consistently indicated that it is clear from the general scheme of the Treaty that the Article 88 procedure must never produce a result which is contrary to the specific provisions of the Treaty.
Sodna praksa dosledno kaže, da je iz splošne sheme Pogodbe jasno, da postopek člena 88 ne sme nikoli obroditi rezultatov, ki so v nasprotju s posebnimi določbami Pogodbe.
Accordingly, the Commission cannot declare State aid, certain conditions of which contravene other provisions of the Treaty, to be compatible with the common market [62].
V skladu s tem Komisija ne more razglasiti državne pomoči, katere določeni pogoji kršijo druge določbe Pogodbe, da je skladna s skupnim trgom [62].
The obligation on the part of the Commission to ensure that Articles 87 and 88 are applied consistently with other provisions of the Treaty is all the more necessary where those other provisions also pursue, as in the present case, the objective of undistorted competition in the common market.
Obveznost na strani Komisije, da zagotavlja, da se člena 87 in 88 uporabljata skladno z drugimi določbami Pogodbe, je še bolj potrebna, kjer druge določbe tudi uresničujejo, kot v tem primeru, cilje neizkrivljene konkurence na skupnem trgu.
When adopting a decision on the compatibility of aid with the common market, the Commission must be aware of the risk of individual traders undermining competition in the common market [63].
Pri sprejemanju odločitve o skladnosti pomoči s skupnim trgom se mora Komisija zavedati tveganja posameznih trgovcev, ki spodkopavajo konkurenco na skupnem trgu [63].
As already pointed out, between January 1992 and July 1994 Adriatica took part in a pact to fix the tariffs for commercial vehicles on the Brindisi/Corfu/Igoumenitsa/Patras route, in contravention of Article 81 [64], at the same time as it was receiving aid to operate that route.
Kot je že opredeljeno, je med januarjem 1992 in julijem 1994 družba Adriatica sodelovala v paktu o določitvi tarif za gospodarska vozila na poti Brindisi–Krf–Igoumenitsa–Patras, v nasprotju s členom 81 [64], istočasno, ko je prejemala pomoč za delovanje poti.
As already noted, this pact distorted competition in respect of all the services provided.
Kot že ugotovljeno je ta pakt izkrivil konkurenco kar zadeva zagotovljene storitve.
In view of the link between the detected infringement and the aid received, as well as the accumulated distortion of competition produced by these two factors, and notwithstanding the arguments put forward by the Italian authorities, which have already been refuted above (see recital 94(a)), the Commission considers that, inter alia, for this reason, the aid in question must be declared incompatible.
Glede na povezavo med odkrito kršitvijo in prejeto pomočjo, kot tudi nakopičeno izkrivljanje konkurence, ki ga povzročita ta dva dejavnika, in ne glede na argumente, ki so jih predložili italijanski organi, ki se že bili ovrženi zgoraj (glej uvodno izjavo 94(a)), Komisija meni, da med drugim iz tega razloga, mora biti zadevna pomoč šteta za nezdružljivo.
Future application of the compensation mechanism
Prihodnja uporaba mehanizma kompenzacij
The Commission notes that the current compensation system is due to be applied until the end of 2008.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je trenutni sistem kompenzacije treba začeti uporabljati do konca leta 2008.
After that, payment of compensation for services provided will be subject to compliance with the obligations arising from Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92 [65] and with the provisions of Community law relating to public contracts and service concessions.
Po tem bo plačilo nadomestila za zagotovljene storitve predmet skladnosti z obveznostmi, ki izhajajo iz Uredbe (EGS) št. 3577/92 [65] in z določbami prava skupnosti o javnih pogodbah in koncesijah za storitve.
For the remaining period of application of the current mechanism, the Commission considers it necessary to impose two conditions designed to ensure the aid’s compatibility and facilitate checks.
Za preostalo obdobje uporabe sedanjega mehanizma Komisija meni, da je treba naložiti dva pogoja, ki sta določena zaradi združljivost pomoči in za lažje preverjanje.
Firstly, it considers that, for the period from 2004 to 2008, all the regional companies need to maintain separate accounts for their public service activities on each of the routes under consideration.
Prvič, meni, da morajo za obdobje 2004-2008 vse regionalne družbe voditi ločene račune za svoje javne storitve na vsaki izmed zadevnih poti.
With regard to Caremar, the Commission notes that, by letter dated 17 February 2004 (registered under the number A/13405/04), the Italian authorities made an undertaking to that effect.
V zvezi z družbo Caremar Komisija ugotavlja, da so s pismom z dne 17. februarja 2004 (registriranim pod številko A/13405/04), italijanski organi v ta namen izvedli prevzem.
Secondly, any permanent change, whether partial or total, to the services offered by Adriatica, Siremar, Saremar, Toremar or Caremar such as would entail an increase in the aid must be notified to the Commission in advance.
Drugič, kakršna koli trajna sprememba, delna ali popolna, storitev, ki jih nudijo družbe Adriatica, Siremar, Saremar, Toremar ali Caremar, ki bi imela za posledico povišanje pomoči, mora biti vnaprej sporočena Komisiji.
On the basis of the above considerations, the Commission finds that no doubts remain as to the compatibility of the aid paid to the regional companies from January 1992 onwards under the 1991 agreements, except as regards the aid granted to the Adriatica company for the period from January 1992 to July 1994 for the Brindisi/Corfu/Igoumenitsa/Patras connection, which is incompatible with the common market on three counts, each of which is sufficient in itself to justify that conclusion: firstly, it did not meet an actual public service requirement; secondly, it affected the development of trade to an extent contrary to the common interest; thirdly, it was closely connected to a pact prohibited by Article 81 of the EC Treaty.
Na podlagi zgornjih načel Komisija ugotavlja, da ni dvoma o skladnosti pomoči, plačani regionalnim družbam od januarja 1992 dalje v skladu s sporazumi iz leta 1991, razen kar zadeva pomoč, izplačano družbi Adriatica za obdobje od januarja 1992 do julija 1994 za povezavo Brindisi–Krf– Igoumenitsa–Patras, ki ni združljiva s skupnim trgom v treh točkah, od katerih vsaka sama po sebi zadostuje, da upraviči tisti zaključek: prvič, ni uresničevala dejanskih zahtev javnih storitev; drugič, vplivala je na razvoj trgovine do obsega v nasprotju s skupnim interesom; tretjič, bila je tesno povezana s paktom, ki ga prepoveduje člen 81 Pogodbe.
According to consistent practice, and by virtue of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 659/99, such aid must be recovered, except where this conflicts with a general principle of Community law.
V skladu z običajno prakso in na podlagi člena 14 Uredbe (ES) št. 659/99, mora biti takšna pomoč povrnjena, razen če to nasprotuje splošnemu načelu prava Skupnosti.
In this instance, the Commission considers that no principle prevents the recovery of the aid and, in particular, that the Adriatica company could not reasonably expect to receive the aid in question while it was involved in a pact with its competitors.
V tem primeru Komisija meni, da nobeno načelo ne prepreči povračila pomoči in, zlasti, da družba Adriatica ni mogla upravičeno pričakovati, da bo prejela zadevno pomoč, medtem ko je bila vpletena v pakt s svojimi konkurenti.
Any difficulties arising from the recovery of the aid are not of an exceptional nature.
Kakršne koli težave, ki nastanejo iz povračila pomoči niso izjemne narave.
Accordingly, Italy must take all necessary steps to recover the aid from the recipient.
V skladu s tem mora Italija sprejeti vse potrebne ukrepe za povračilo pomoči od prejemnika.
This decision only concerns State aid aspects and is without prejudice to the application of other provisions of the Treaty, particularly regarding the law on public contracts and service concessions,
Ta odločba zadeva samo državno pomoč in ne posega v uporabo drugih določb Pogodbe, zlasti glede prava javnih pogodb in koncesij za storitve –
Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 2, the aid granted by Italy to Adriatica as of 1 January 1992 as compensation for providing a public service is compatible with the common market having regard to Article 86(2) of the Treaty.
Razen določbe odstavka 2 je pomoč, ki jo je Italija izplačala družbi Adriatica od 1. januarja 1992 kot nadomestilo za opravljanje javne storitve, združljiva s skupnim trgom v skladu s členom 86(2) Pogodbe.
The aid granted to Adriatica for the period from January 1992 to July 1994 in relation to the Brindisi/Corfu/Igoumenitsa/Patras connection is incompatible with the common market.
Pomoč, ki je bila družbi Adriatica izplačana za obdobje od januarja 1992 do julija 1994 v zvezi s povezavo Brindisi–Krf–Igoumenitsa–Patras, ni združljiva s skupnim trgom.
