As part of the proportionality test, the Commission has to check that all the public funding received by France 2 and France 3 between 1988 and 1994, i.e. the State aid covered by this Decision plus the licence fee and the equipment grants, does not exceed the net cost of their public service activity.
V okviru presoje kriterija sorazmernosti, je Komisija zavezana, da preveri, ali skupni znesek javnih financiranj, ki sta ga prejeli France 2 in France 3 od 1988 do 1994, namreč državne pomoči, ki jih obravnava ta odločba, pa tudi pristojbina in subvencije v opremo, ne presega čistih stroškov njune dejavnosti javnega servisa.
It should first be noted that, over the period 1988 to 1994, France 2 and France 3 received types of public funding that are dealt with differently in the accounts.
Preliminarno je potrebno omeniti, da sta v tem posebnem primeru, v obdobju od 1988 do 1994, France 2 in France 3 prejeli javna sredstva, ki izhajajo iz različnih računovodskih logik.
This is because the capital injections are exceptional contributions that served to make good previous deficits that had accumulated over several years.
Dotacije v kapitalu dejansko predstavljajo izredne prispevke, ki so služili pri pokrivanju predhodnih primanjkljajev, ki so se nabrali v nekaj poslovnih letih.
Likewise, the investment and equipment grants finance investments that are then used, and therefore depreciated, over several years.
Prav tako subvencije v investicije in v opremo omogočajo financiranje investicij, ki bodo izkoriščene in torej amortizirane, v nekaj poslovnih letih.
The grants are therefore entered in the profit and loss account at the same rate as the investments are depreciated.
Subvencije so torej povzete v bilanci uspeha v enakem ritmu kot amortizacija investicij.
Since, for the calculation of the compensation for public service costs, balance-sheet items (grants) are mixed with items in the profit and loss account (depreciations, included in the total costs for the year), it is essential to adopt a cumulative approach over a medium or long-term period, since that makes it possible to consider that the entries made for grants in the profit and loss account and the grants entered on the balance sheet converge towards the same amounts.
V takšni meri kot so, za izračun nadomestila stroškov javnega servisa, pomešani elementi bilance (subvencije) in elementi bilance uspeha (amortizacije, vključene v skupne stroške poslovnega leta), je neobhodno potrebno razmišljati kumulativno v srednjeročnem ali v dolgoročnem obdobju, zato ker je torej možno upoštevati, da prevzemi subvencij (ki se pojavljajo v bilanci uspeha) in subvencije (ki se pojavljajo v bilanci) konvergirajo proti istim zneskom.
Since the formal investigation procedure relates to the period between 1988 and 1994, that period will be taken for the cumulative calculation.
Formalni postopek presoje, ki se nanaša na leta 1988–1994, bo pridržan za to kumulativno obdobje.
France 2 and France 3 carry on both a public service activity and commercial activities, either in-house or via subsidiaries.
France 2 in France 3 hkrati opravljata dejavnost javnega servisa in komercialne dejavnosti, bodisi interno ali pa s posredovanjem podružnic.
The net cost of each channel’s public service activity is therefore obtained by deducting from its total costs for the year all the costs linked to commercial activities, whether carried on in-house or via subsidiaries, and the net profits from those activities (chiefly advertising and sponsorship income), as specified in the communication.
Čiste stroške dejavnosti javnega servisa vsakega kanala je torej možno ugotoviti tako, da od njihovih skupnih stroškov delovanja odštejemo tiste stroške, ki so povezani s komercialnimi dejavnostmi, ki jih bodisi opravljajo interno ali s posredovanjem podružnic, kot tudi čiste dobičke iz teh dejavnosti (v glavnem gre za prihodke od oglaševanja in od pokroviteljev), kot predvideva Sporočilo.
As shown in table 4, over the period under consideration, 1988 to 1994, the cumulative net cost of the public service activity was FRF 15,69 billion for France 2 and FRF 20,89 billion for France 3 [21].
V obravnavanem obdobju, 1988–1994, kot prikazuje preglednica 4, čisti stroški dejavnosti javnega servisa France 2 kumulativno znašajo 15,69 milijarde FRF, čisti stroški France 3 pa 20,89 milijarde FRF [21].

These net public service costs must then be compared with all the public funding received by the broadcasters in order to assess whether or not the financial compensation from the State exceeded those costs.
Te čiste stroške javnega servisa je potrebno nato postaviti v sorazmerje s celotnimi javnimi finančnimi sredstvi, ki sta jih prejela kanala, zato da bi ocenili, ali je finančno nadomestilo države preseglo te stroške ali ne.
Since the licence fee, on the one hand, and the grants and capital injections, on the other, are dealt with differently in the accounts, the balances of the compensation for the cost of the public service activity need to be calculated successively for each type of public funding examined.
Pristojbina, na eni strani, in subvencije ter dotacije v kapital, na drugi strani, se ravnajo po različnih računovodskih logikah, zato je potrebno postopno prikazati ostanke nadomestila stroškov iz dejavnosti javnega servisa, v funkciji upoštevanih javnih financiranj.
Over the period 1988 to 1994, France 2 and France 3 received by way of the licence fee FRF 12,12 billion and FRF 20,17 billion respectively [22].
V obdobju 1988–1994 sta France 2 in France 3 iz naslova pristojbine prejeli 12,12 oziroma 20,17 milijarde FRF [22].
An analysis based on the profit and loss account thus reveals that France 2 and France 3 were cumulatively undercompensated to the tune of FRF 3,57 billion and FRF 718,6 million respectively.
Tako je, v smislu analize, skladne s pristopom „bilanca uspeha“, očitno, da sta France 2 in France 3, v kumulativi, prejeli manjše nadomestilo, v višini 3,57 milijarde FRF oziroma 718,6 milijona FRF.
These amounts of undercompensation must now be correlated with the additional public resources entered on the balance sheet.
Odslej je potrebno postaviti v razmerje te zneske premajhnega nadomestila s komplementarnimi javnimi viri, prikazanimi v bilanci.
These additional resources consist, on the one hand, in equipment grants and on the other, in the investment grants, other grants and capital injections covered by this Decision.
Ti komplementarni viri so sestavljeni, po eni strani, iz subvencij v opremo, po drugi strani pa iz subvencij v investicije, drugih subvencij in dotacij v kapital, ki predstavljajo predmet tega postopka.
Cumulatively, they amount to FRF 1,91 billion in the case of France 2 and FRF 633,5 million in the case of France 3.
V kumulativi za France 2 znašajo 1,91 milijarde FRF in 633,5 milijona FRF za France 3.
The net cost of the public service activity should, moreover, not include the capital injections and non-refunded advances on current account granted to the public broadcasters’ subsidiaries engaged in commercial activities (FRF 115,2 million for France 2 and FRF 25,9 million for France 3).
Sicer pa ne smejo biti vključeni v čiste stroške dejavnosti javnega servisa prispevki v kapital kot tudi avansi na tekočih računih, ne povrnjeni podružnicam obeh javnih kanalov, ki opravljata komercialne dejavnosti (115,2 milijona FRF za France 2 in 25,9 milijona FRF za France 3).
Taking these additional resources into account, it transpires that France 2 and France 3 were undercompensated over the period 1988 to 1994, to the tune of FRF 1,54 billion and FRF 59,2 million respectively.
Če upoštevamo te komplementarne vire, je očitno, da sta kanala France 2 in France 3 v obdobju 1988–1994 prejela premajhno nadomestilo, in sicer pri France 2 premajhno nadomestilo znaša 1,54 milijarde FRF, pri France 3 pa 59,2 milijona FRF.
Assessment of the behaviour of France 2 and France 3 on the market in the sale of advertising slots
Ocena obnašanja France 2 in France 3 na tržišču prodaje oglaševalskega prostora
In accordance with the communication, the Commission must also check that no distortion of competition which is not necessary for the fulfilment of the public service tasks has been caused by the commercial activities intrinsically related to the public service activity.
V smislu Sporočila, mora Komisija prav tako preveriti, ali ni prišlo na ravni komercialnih dejavnosti, ki so resnično povezane z dejavnostjo javnega servisa, do nikakršne neuravnovešenosti konkurence, ki ne bi bila potrebna iz naslova izpolnjevanja poslanstev javnega servisa. Takšno neravnovesje bi bilo prisotno, če bi kanala France 2 in France 3, v prepričanju, da bosta svoje manjše komercialne prihodke nadomestila z državno pomočjo, zniževala cene prodaje oglasnega prostora, s čimer bi prav tako zniževala prihodke svojih konkurentov.
On the basis of the information in its possession, the Commission has not found any evidence in support of TF1’s claim.
Na osnovi informacije, ki jo ima na voljo, Komisija ni razkrila nobenega naravnega dokazilnega elementa, za podkrepitev argumenta, ki ga navaja TF1.
The difference between the advertising rates charged by TF1 and by France 2 and France 3 is accounted for, not by the commercial behaviour of the two public broadcasters, but by the difference in the power of advertising slots as between TF1 and the public channels.
Razliko med prodajnimi cenami za oglaševalske akcije TF1 in med cenami France 2 in France 3 pojasnjuje ne samo komercialno obnašanje obeh javnih kanalov, ampak razlika zmogljivosti ekranov TF1 v primerjavi z zmogljivostmi obeh javnih kanalov.
In the television advertising industry, advertisers are interested above all in the audience reached by advertising slots among housewives under 50 years of age.
Na področju televizijske reklame se oglaševalci zanimajo predvsem za občinstvo gospodinj, v starosti manj kot 50 let.
Audiences are measured using the concept of the gross rating point, or GRP, which is defined as the average number of contacts achieved by an advertising campaign out of 100 people in the target population.
To občinstvo merijo s pojmom „Gross Rating Point“ (GRP, pokazatelj pritiska medijev), ki je opredeljen kot povprečno število stikov v reklamni kampanji, doseženih pri 100 osebah ciljne skupine.
A contact is considered to have been established where a person is exposed once, at a given time, to the broadcast message.
Šteje se, da je bil stik vzpostavljen takrat, ko je oseba enkrat, v danem trenutku, izpostavljena prenesenemu sporočilu.
For their adverts, advertisers look for the most powerful slots which achieve, at a given time, the best coverage of the target population.
Za svoje reklamne akcije oglaševalci raziskujejo najbolj zmogljive ekrane, ki zagotavljajo v danem trenutku najboljšo pokritost ciljne populacije.
The result is that, the greater the audience for a slot, the more advertisers are prepared to pay a higher unit price per contact (GRP price).
Iz tega sledi, da čim močnejše je občinstvo določenega ekrana, bolj so oglaševalci pripravljeni plačati enotno višjo ceno na stik (cena GRP).
There is therefore a premium for the power of advertising slots.
Tako prihaja do posebne premije za zmogljivost ekranov.
Table 6 shows for each channel the average GRP and the average GRP price over the whole day for the target population of housewives aged between 15 and 49:
Preglednica 6 prikazuje za vsak kanal srednji GRP in srednjo ceno GRP v celotnem dnevu, za ciljno skupino gospodinj, v starostni skupini od 15 do 49 let.

Preglednica 7 za vsak kanal prikazuje srednji GRP in povprečno ceno GRP v urah največje gledanosti (od 19. do 22. ure) v ciljni skupini gospodinj v starostni skupini od 15 do 49 let.
TABLE 7
PREGLEDNICA 7

Vir: MEDIAMETRIE/MEDIAMAT obdelava POPCORN.
The public broadcasters would be found to have engaged in anticompetitive behaviour on the market in the sale of advertising slots if, given that a higher average GRP results in a higher GRP price (the premium for power), the GRP prices charged by the public broadcasters were appreciably lower than those charged by TF1 and M6.
Protikonkurenčno obnašanje javnih kanalov na tržišču prodaje oglaševalskega prostora bi ugotovili, če bi, ob upoštevanju dejstva, da ima višji srednji GRP za posledico višjo GRP ceno (premija za zmogljivost).
That is not the case on the basis of the data set out in tables 6 and 7.
Cene GRP, ki so jih dosegali javni kanali, so bile občutno nižje od tistih, ki veljajo pri TF1 in M6, toda podatki, ki so prikazani v preglednicah 6 in 7, kažejo drugače. Res je, da iz tega izhaja, da je v bistvu, kot poudarja TF1, njegova cena GRP višja od primerljive cene pri France 2 ali France 3, te cene pa so višje od cen pri M6.
Admittedly, the tables show that, as stressed by TF1, its GRP price is in the main higher than those of France 2 or France 3, which are themselves higher than that of M6.
Iz tega prav tako izhaja, da je povprečni GRP pri TF1 še zmeraj kar precej višji kot pri France 2 ali pri France 3.
It is also clear that TF1’s average GRP is always very distinctly higher than France 2 or France 3.
Od leta 1990 do 1994, prek celotnega dneva, povprečni GRP pri TF1 niha od 4,7 do 5,8 točke, medtem ko pri France 2 niha od 2,4 do 3 točk, pri France 3 od 1,6 do 2,3 točke, pri M6 pa v razponu od 1,9 do 2 točk.
Between 1990 and 1994, over the whole day, TF1’s average GRP varied between 4,7 and 5,8 points, whereas that of France 2 varied between 2,4 and 3 points, that of France 3 between 1,6 and 2,3 points and that of M6 between 1,9 and 2 points.
V urah največje gledanosti povprečni GRP pri TF1 niha od 10,3 do 12,8 točke, medtem ko pri France 2 niha od 5,7 do 6,1 točke, pri France 3 od 3,4 do 4,1 točke, pri M6 pa od 3,4 do 4,4 točke. Toda razlika med cenami GRP kanala TF1 in med cenami obeh javnih kanalov ni nesorazmerna, če jo primerjamo z razliko med cenami GRP pri TF1 in pri M6.
By way of illustration, the charts below show the data on the different channels’ GRP prices and average GRP, as set out in tables 6 and 7, distinguishing between the average for the whole day and the peak viewing times.
Zaradi boljše predstave spodnja grafikona prikazujeta podatke, ki se nanašajo na povprečne cene GRP in na srednje cene GRP kanalov, kot so prikazani v preglednicah 6 in 7, ob razločevanju med povprečjem v teku dneva in med urami velike gledanosti.
The limited number of points (five) available for each channel and their low dispersion allow all five years and four channels to be plotted on the same chart.
Omejeno število (pet) razpoložljivih točk za vsak kanal in njihova slaba razpršenost omogočata predstavitev celote petih let in štirih kanalov na istem grafikonu.

The two charts show that there is a positive correlation between average GRP and GRP price, which corroborates the fact that there is a premium for power: a channel with a higher GRP has a higher GRP price.
Oba grafikona kažeta, da obstaja pozitivna soodvisnost med povprečnim GRP in med ceno GRP, kar še dodatno poudarja dejstvo, da obstaja premija za zmogljivost: kanal, ki ima višji GRP, ima tudi višjo ceno GRP. Ta soodvisnost je prikazana na grafikonu na desni strani s pomočjo linearne regresijske premice cene GRP ob srednjem GRP, ki prevaja „srednje“ razmerje med ceno GRP in med GRP za skupino kanalov, v opazovanem obdobju.
The correlation is represented on the charts by the linear regression line of GRP price against average GRP, which reflects the ‘average’ relationship between GRP price and GRP for all the channels over the period examined.
Poleg tega iz teh dveh grafikonov izhaja tudi to, da cene, ki jih dosegata kanala France 2 in France 3, niso pomembno nižje kot tiste, ki jih dosegata kanala TF1 in M6, ob upoštevanju učinka premije za zmogljivost.
It can also be seen from the charts that the prices charged by France 2 and France 3 were not significantly lower than those charged by TF1 and M6 when the premium for power is taken into account: for France 2 and France 3, the few points located below the regression line are nevertheless very close to it.
Za France 2 in za France 3 so točke, ki so pod regresijsko premico, tej premici zelo blizu.
Some of France 3’s prices were furthermore higher than those of M6 for more or less the same GRP.
Razen tega ugotavljamo, da so določene cene kanala France 3 višje od tistih pri M6, s skoraj enakovrednim GRP.
To sum up, the prices charged by France 2 and France 3 between 1990 and 1994 were not significantly lower than those charged by TF1 and M6.
Iz vsega tega sledi, da cene, ki sta jih dosegala kanala France 2 in France 3 v obdobju med 1990 in 1994, niso videti bistveno nižje od cen, ki sta jih postavila kanala TF1 in M6.
The higher prices of TF1’s advertising slots can thus be accounted for by the power of its slots and not by the commercial behaviour of the public broadcasters.
Višjo ceno reklamnih oddaj pri TF1 lahko pojasnimo z zmogljivostjo njenih ekranov in ne s komercialnim obnašanjem javnih kanalov.
The French Competition Council furthermore arrived at the same conclusion in a decision it took in 2001 concerning the sale of television advertising slots [24].
Sicer pa je tudi francoski Svet za konkurenco prišel do istega sklepa v svoji odločbi iz leta 2001, ki se nanaša na prodajo televizijskega oglasnega prostora [24].
In conclusion, the Commission finds, firstly, that over the period 1988 to 1994 the public funds paid by the French authorities to France 2 and France 3 were lower than the cost of their public service activity and secondly that there is no conclusive evidence of anticompetitive behaviour by the public broadcasters on the market in the sale of advertising slots.
Če povzamemo, Komisija po eni strani ugotavlja, da so bila v obdobju 1988–1994 javna financiranja, ki so jih francoske oblasti namenile kanaloma France 2 in France 3, manjša od stroškov njune dejavnosti javnega servisa, in da, po drugi strani, ne obstaja noben pokazatelj, ki bi dokazoval protikonkurenčno obnašanje javnih kanalov na tržišču prodaje oglaševalskega prostora.
The Commission accordingly finds that the State funding of the public service activity of France 2 and France 3 satisfies the proportionality test.
Komisija torej ocenjuje, da državno financiranje dejavnosti javnega servisa kanalov France 2 in France 3 izpolnjuje pogoj sorazmernosti.
The Commission considers that, in the case under examination, the three conditions for the application of the derogation provided for in Article 86(2) of the Treaty are met.
Komisija meni, da so v tem posebnem primeru združeni trije pogoji uporabe izjeme, ki jo predvideva člen 86(2) Pogodbe.
In the light of its analysis, the Commission finds that the State aid measures covered by this formal investigation procedure are compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 86(2) of the Treaty,
Na podlagi svoje analize Komisija meni, da so državne pomoči, ki predstavljajo predmet tega formalnega postopka za presojo, na temelju člena 86(2) Pogodbe, združljive s skupnim tržiščem –
The investment grants paid by France to France 2 and France 3 and the capital injections granted by France to France 2 between 1988 and 1994 constitute State aid that is compatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 86(2) of the Treaty.
Investicijske subvencije, ki jih je Francija dodelila kanaloma France 2 in France 3, kot tudi dotacije v kapital, ki jih je Francija plačala v korist kanala France 2, v letih med 1988 in 1994, predstavljajo državne pomoči, ki so, na temelju člena 86(2) Pogodbe, združljive s skupnim tržiščem.
