The rate of default interest applied by the public creditor should be equal to the rate a private creditor would apply in similar circumstances [55].
Stopnja zamudnih obresti, ki jo uporablja javni upnik bi morala biti enaka stopnji, ki jo bi v podobnih okoliščinah uporabil zasebni upnik [55].
Following the opening of the procedure and the comments put forward by third parties, the Portuguese authorities did not provide sufficient information on the interest rate applied by the public network operator or on the market reference rate.
Portugalski organi oblasti po uvedbi postopka in pripombah, ki so jih podale tretje osebe niso predložili zadostnih informacij glede obrestne stopnje, ki jo je uporabil javni omrežni operater oziroma glede tržne referenčne stopnje.
Therefore, the Commission cannot rule out the possibility that the interest rates charged by Portugal Telecom before mid-1997 constituted a loss of state resources.
Iz tega razloga Komisija ne more izključiti možnosti, da so zaračunane obrestne stopnje portugalskega Telekoma privedle do izgube javnih sredstev pred sredino leta 1997.
Secondly, the Commission needs to ascertain not only whether the measure involves state resources but also whether the public authorities were actually involved in the adoption of the measure [56].
Komisija mora drugič ne samo ugotoviti ali ukrepi vključujejo javna sredstva, temveč tudi, če so bili državni organi oblasti pri sprejemu ukrepov dejansko vpleteni [56].
It was not disputed that before mid-1997 the State was in a position to control Portugal Telecom and to have a dominant influence over its operations since it held more than 50 % of the company's shares.
Sporno ni bilo, da je imela država v portugalskem Telekomu pred sredino leta 1997 kontrolni položaj in da je imela prevladujoč vpliv na njegovo poslovanje, saj je imela več kot 50 % delnic družbe.
During its investigation the Commission did not find any indications that the Portuguese authorities were actually involved in the adoption of the agreements on the acceptance of the delayed debt repayment by the operator of the broadcasting network [57].
Komisija med preiskavo ni odkrila nobenih indikacij dejanske udeležbe portugalskih organov oblasti pri sklenitvi pogodb o sprejemu zakasnelih plačil dolga operaterja radiofuzijskega omrežja [57].
As can be seen from paragraph 22, the State regulated the tariffs and the television signals distribution service that the network operator had to deliver as part of its concession contract with the State.
Kot je mogoče videti v uvodni izjavi 22 je država uravnavala tarife in storitve distribucije televizijskih signalov, ki jih je moral omrežni operater opravljati v okviru koncesijske pogodbe z državo.
However, the legal provisions did not make a distinction between the services and tariffs that the network operator was required to deliver to the public broadcaster RTP and those to private television operators.
Vendar pravna pravila niso razlikovala med storitvami in tarifami, ki jih je omrežni operater moral opraviti za javnega izdajatelja televizijskega programa RTP in tistimi, ki jih je moral opraviti za zasebne izdajatelje televizijskega programa.
Nor did the network operator have to provide RTP with an obligatory universal service in terms of a broadcasting network service.
Omrežni operater v okviru storitev radiofuzijskega omrežja tudi ni bil zavezan k zagotavljanju obveznih splošnih storitev RTP.
The Commission does not, therefore, agree with the third parties who argued that they were discriminated against since the Television Law stipulated only that private operators could lose their broadcasting licence if they did not pay the network fee on time.
Iz tega razloga se Komisija ne strinja s tretjimi strankami, ki so dokazovale, da so bile diskriminirane, ker je Zakon o televiziji določal, da lahko samo zasebni operaterji izgubijo radiofuzijsko dovoljenje, če pravočasno ne plačajo omrežnih pristojbin.
Although the Law provided only for the consequences of possible non-payment by private operators, Portugal Telecom was under no obligation to deliver its services to RTP, regardless of whether RTP paid its fees or not.
Četudi je zakon določal samo posledice morebitnega neplačila zasebnih operaterjev, portugalski Telekom ni imel nobene obveznosti opravljanja storitev za RTP, ne glede na to, če je RTP svoje pristojbine plačal ali ne.
The Portuguese authorities explicitly stated that the public authorities did not intervene, directly or indirectly, in the acceptance of delayed payments by Portugal Telecom.
Portugalski organi oblasti so izrecno navedli, da javna uprava ni neposredno ali posredno posredovala pri sprejemu zakasnelih plačil portugalskega Telekoma.
Similarly, third parties did not come forward with any indications suggesting state involvement in the measure.
Podobno tretje stranke niso predložile nobenih indikacij, ki bi kazale na vpletenost države pri ukrepu.
Lastly, as can be seen from paragraph 25, the behaviour of the network operator before and after mid-1997 did not change.
Končno, kot je mogoče videti iz uvodne izjave 25 se ravnanje omrežnega operaterja pred in od sredine leta 1997 ni spremenilo.
After mid-1997 the network operator continued to conclude agreements with RTP on payment of the fees.
Od sredine leta 1997 je omrežni operater nadaljeval s sklepanjem pogodb z RTP o plačilu pristojbin.
A dispute over the level of the annual fee in connection with the interdependence of the two companies seems to have been the main reason for the agreements.
Videti je, da je glavni razlog pogodb spor glede stopnje letne pristojbine v povezavi z medsebojno odvisnostjo dveh družb.
This seems to be underlined by the decision of ANACOM in 2003 that Portugal Telecom had to reduce its prices significantly.
To je poudarjeno pri odločitvi ANACOM v letu 2003, tako da je moral portugalski Telekom bistveno znižati svoje cene.
In view of the arguments put forward above, the Commission concludes that it has no indications that the network operator was required by the public authorities to accept late payment.
Komisija je glede zgoraj predloženih dokazov ugotovila, da ne obstajajo indikacije, da bi javna uprava od omrežnega operaterja zahtevala sprejetje zakasnelega plačila.
Nor are there any other indications to suggest that the public authorities were involved in the adoption of the measure [58].
Prav tako tudi ni nobenih drugih indikacij, ki bi kazale na vpletenost javnih organov oblasti pri sprejemu ukrepa [58].
Furthermore, similar arrangements were agreed upon once the company was clearly privatised.
Poleg tega so bili podobni sporazumi dogovorjeni potem, ko je bila družba nedvomno privatizirana.
Therefore, the measure cannot be considered to be attributable to the State and so did not lead to a loss of state resources.
Iz tega razloga ukrep ne prispeva državi in tako ni vodil do izgube javnih sredstev.
As regards the rescheduling of debt due to the social security scheme and the waiver of interest for late payment, the Commission considers that the social security scheme cannot be regarded as an undertaking.
Komisija glede prerazporeditve dolga zaradi sheme socialne varnosti in odpovedi obrestim zakasnelih plačil meni, da se shema socialne varnosti ne more obravnavati kot podjetje.
It does not carry out an economic activity but is a public body with the task of administering social security [59].
Ne opravlja gospodarske dejavnosti, temveč je javni organ z nalogo upravljanja socialne varnosti [59].
Furthermore, authorisation for the debt rescheduling was given not by the social security scheme itself but by a joint decree of the State Secretaries for Finance and Social Security and the Deputy State Secretary to the Deputy Minister.
Poleg tega shema socialne varnosti ni dovolila prerazporeditve dolga, temveč skupna uredba državnih sekretarjev za finance in socialno varnost ter namestnik državnega sekretarja namestnika ministra.
With the authorisation, the State did forgo income since normally it would have received PTE 1206 million in interest on the outstanding debt.
Država se je na podlagi dovoljenja odrekla dohodku, saj bi po predpisih za neplačan dolg prejela 1,206 milijard PTE obresti.
Therefore, it is clear that state resources are involved and that the measure is attributable to the State.
Iz tega razloga je jasno, da so vpletena javna sredstva in da ukrep državi prispeva.
The capital increases granted to RTP and the payments for the television network were provided by the State direct from the public budget.
Država je dokapitalizacijo, odobreno RTP in plačila za televizijsko omrežje zagotovila neposredno iz državnega proračuna.
It is therefore clear that these funds constitute state resources within the meaning of Article 87(1).
Zato je nedvomno, da ta sredstva predstavljajo javna denarna sredstva v smislu člena 87(1).
The Commission cannot agree with the Portuguese authorities that no state resources are involved in the loan.
Komisija se ne more strinjati s portugalskimi organi oblasti, da pri posojilu niso bili vpletena nobena javna sredstva.
It should be recalled that the concept of state resources also includes advantages granted by bodies designated or established by the State for that purpose [60].
Spomniti bi se bilo potrebno, da pojem javnih sredstev vključuje tudi prednosti, odobrene s strani organov, ki jih je država imenovala ali ustanovila za ta namen [60].
The loan contract was concluded between RTP and the Public Debt Stabilisation Fund, a fund managed by the Public Debt Management Institute.
Posojilna pogodba je bila sklenjena med RTP in Skladom za stabilizacijo javnega dolga, ki ga upravlja Inštitut za upravljanje javnega dolga.
A legal act determines that the Institute is subject to the authority and supervision of the Minister for Finance [61].
Pravni akt določa, da je inštitut pod pristojnostjo in nadzorom ministra za finance [61].
It can therefore be concluded that the funds granted by the Public Debt Stabilisation Fund should be regarded as state resources.
Iz tega razloga se lahko ugotovi, da bi se denarna sredstva, podeljena s strani Sklada za stabilizacijo javnega dolga morala obravnavati kot javna denarna sredstva.
Moreover, the measure can be considered as being directly attributable to the Portuguese authorities since a resolution agreed on 17 December 1998 between the State Secretaries for the Media, the Treasury and Finance laid down the conditions of the contract.
Razen tega se lahko ukrep neposredno pripiše portugalskim organom oblasti, ker pogoje pogodbe določa dogovorjen sklep med državnimi sekretarji za sredstva javnega obveščanja, državno blagajno in finance dne 17. decembra 1998.
No information was received to show that the bond issue by RTP was accompanied by a state guarantee.
Prejeta ni bila nobena informacija, ki bi izkazovala, da je izdajo obveznic RTP spremljala državna garancija.
According to the prospectus for the bond issue, RTP guaranteed servicing of the debt.
RTP je glede na prospekt izdaje obveznic jamčil za poravnavo dolga.
It had no legal status at the time the bond was issued, and this resulted in an implicit state guarantee.
V času izdaje obveznice ni imel nobenega pravnega statusa, kar je privedlo do implicitne državne garancije.
In 1992 the company was transformed from a public entity into a public limited company by Law No 21/92.
V letu 1992 se je družba v skladu z Zakonom št. 21/92 preoblikovala iz javnega subjekta v javno delniško družbo.
The Commission therefore considers that the bond issue was carried out under market conditions and the State did not forgo income.
Iz tega razloga Komisija smatra, da je bila izdaja obveznic izvedena v skladu s tržnimi pogoji in da se država dohodku ni odrekla.
As a result, no state resources are involved.
Nobena javna sredstva tako niso bila vpletena.
Contrary to the opinion of third parties, the Commission considers that the fact that RTP is publicly owned does not alter this conclusion as the EC Treaty is neutral as regards public or private ownership [62].
Komisija v nasprotju z mnenjem tretjih strank meni, da tega zaključka ne spremeni dejstvo, da je RTP v državni lasti, ker je Pogodba ES neopredeljena glede javnega in zasebnega lastništva [62].
As regards the protocol on cinema promotion of September 1996, the Commission cannot agree with the comments from third parties that RTP received additional funding on the basis of the protocol.
Komisija se glede protokola o promociji kinematografov iz septembra 1996 ne more strinjati s pripombami tretjih strank in sicer da je RTP na podlagi protokola prejel dodatna denarna sredstva.
The protocol specified in detail how RTP was to fulfil its public service obligation to support the cinema [63] but did not provide for additional financial compensation for RTP.
Protokol je podrobno določil kako naj RTP izpolni svojo obveznost javne službe glede podpore kinematografom [63], vendar RTP ni omogočil dodatne finančne kompenzacije.
Financial compensation for RTP's obligations in respect of cinematographic production was already possible under the general system of compensation payments in accordance with Law No 21/92 [64].
Finančna kompenzacija obveznosti RTP je bila v zvezi s kinematografsko produkcijo že mogoča, v skladu s splošnim sistemom kompenzacije plačil po Zakonu št. 21/92 [64].
Accordingly, the protocol cannot be seen as a separate ad hoc financing measure and, as such, does not lead to a loss of state resources, as no new financial measures are granted by the State to RTP on the basis of the protocol.
Zato se protokol ne more obravnavati kot ločen začasen finančni ukrep in kot tak ne vodi do izgube javnih sredstev, ker država na osnovi protokola RTP ni odobrila nobenih novih finančnih ukrepov.
The restructuring plan for the period 1996 to 2000 seems to have been simply a preliminary study carried out by RTP without any financial commitment by the Portuguese State.
Videti je, da je bil načrt prestrukturiranja za obdobje 1996-2000 samo predhodna študija, ki jo je izvedla RTP brez kakršne koli finančne zaveze portugalske države.
Therefore, the Commission considers that no state resources are involved.
Komisija zato smatra, da niso bila vpletena nobena javna sredstva.
No new elements were presented by any third parties on this aspect.
Tretje stranke glede tega vidika niso predložile nobenih novih elementov.
Accordingly, it can therefore be concluded that the protocol on cinema promotion, the restructuring plan for the period 1996 to 2000, the late payments for the use of the broadcasting network and the bond issue do not constitute state aid as no state resources are involved.
Iz tega razloga se lahko zaključi, da protokol o promociji kinematografov, načrt prestrukturiranja za obdobje 1996-2000, zakasnela plačila za uporabo radiofuzijskega omrežja in izdaja obveznic ne predstavljajo državne pomoči, ker niso bila vpletena nobena javna sredstva.
Favouring of certain undertakings
Dajanje prednosti določenim podjetjem
As regards the exemption from registration charges, the Commission has to assess whether the measure conferred a general tax exemption on RTP and whether it applied specifically to RTP (and, alternatively, to only public companies) and not to private companies.
Komisija glede oprostitve registracijskih taks ocenjuje, če je ukrep podelil RTP splošno davčno oprostitev in če se je uporabil izrecno za RTP (in alternativno samo za javne družbe) in ne za zasebne družbe.
Furthermore, it has to determine whether RTP received an additional advantage by not paying any cost linked to the publication of the deed and whether RTP was also exempted from the registration charges in respect of all other assets under Article 11(2) of Law No 21/92.
Poleg tega mora ugotoviti, če je RTP prejela kakšno dodatno korist, ko ni plačal nobenih stroškov v zvezi z objavo listine in če je bil oproščen tudi registracijskih taks z ozirom na vsa druga premoženja v skladu s členom 11(2) Zakona št. 21/92.
Firstly, the Commission considers that the purpose of Article 11 was to exempt RTP from registration and similar charges directly linked to the change of its legal status.
Komisija prvič upošteva, da je namen člena 11 oprostiti RTP registracijskih in podobnih pristojbin, ki so neposredno povezane s spremembo pravnega statusa.
Whereas paragraph 1 relates to the basic requirement to register the legal document at the National Commercial Registry, paragraph 2 refers to other mandatory registration directly linked to the change in the legal nature of the company (e.g. registry of movable or immovable assets).
Medtem ko se odstavek 1 nanaša na osnovno zahtevo registracije pravne listine pri nacionalnem trgovinskem registru, pa odstavek 2 napotuje na druge obvezne registracije, ki so neposredno povezane s spremembo pravne narave družbe (npr. registracija premičnin in nepremičnin).
Indeed, information from the Portuguese authorities shows that RTP does not enjoy a general exemption for registration charges as it has on several occasions paid notary and registration charges related to changes in the company after its conversion into a public limited company [65].
Informacija portugalskih organov oblasti izkazuje, da RTP ni upravičen do splošne oprostitve registracijskih taks, ker je ob različnih priložnostih plačal notarske in registracijske takse v povezavi s spremembami v družbi po preoblikovanju v javno delniško družbo [65].
The Commission cannot, therefore, agree with comments from interested parties that RTP enjoyed a general exemption from registration charges.
Komisija se zato ne more strinjati s pripombami tretjih strank, da je bil RTP upravičen do splošne oprostitve registracijskih taks.
Secondly, the Commission agrees with the Portuguese authorities that Article 11(1) of Law No 21/92, on the basis of which RTP is exempt from payment of registration charges, does not confer a specific advantage.
Komisija se drugič strinja s portugalskimi organi oblasti, da člen 11(1) Zakona št. 21/92, na osnovi katerega je RTP oproščen plačila registracijskih taks, ne podeljuje posebne koristi.
It merely reaffirms the applicability of Law No 84/88 in the specific case of RTP, under which public undertakings could be converted by decree-law into public limited companies, with the decree-law having to approve the statutes of the limited company and to constitute a sufficient document for all registration requirements.
V posebnem primeru RTP samo zagotavlja uporabo Zakona št. 84/88, v skladu s katerim se z uredbo z zakonsko močjo lahko javna podjetja preoblikujejo v javne delniške družbe, pri čemer uredba z zakonsko močjo odobri statut delniške družbe in določi primerno listino glede na vse zahteve registracije.
The different treatment for public undertakings transforming their legal status into a public limited company arises from the internal logic of the system and does not confer on them a specific advantage since relevant chargeable events do not exist.
Drugačna obravnava javnih podjetij, ki preoblikujejo svoj pravni status v javno delniško družbo izhaja iz notranje logike sistema in jim ne podeljuje posebne ugodnosti, saj za to ne obstajajo ustrezni obdavčljivi dogodki.
The issuing of a notarial deed is necessary to certify the documents that create or alter a company in order to give them legal force.
Izdaja notarske listine je potrebna zaradi potrditve listin, ki ustanavljajo ali spreminjajo družbo, da jim da pravno veljavo.
However, such a deed seems superfluous for public undertakings whose legal status has been changed into that of a public limited company through a legislative act since such an act already has the necessary legal force.
Vendar je ta listina nepotrebna za javna podjetja, katerih pravni status se je spremenil v javno delniško družbo z zakonodajnim aktom, saj takšen akt že ima potrebno pravno moč.
The same reasoning is valid for registration charges as well as for publication costs.
Enako sklepanje velja za registracijske takse, kot tudi za stroške objave.
In its responsibility as a public authority, the State has to publish legislative amendments in the Diário de República.
Država mora v svoji pristojnosti javnega organa objaviti zakonodajne amandmaje v Diário de República.
As Law No 21/92 approving the new statutes of RTP had already been published by the State, it would have been superfluous to impose on RTP any other publication requirements to which private companies may be subject.
Ker je država Zakon št. 21/92, ki potrjuje novi statut RTP že objavila bi bilo nepotrebno RTP naložiti katere druge zahteve objave, katerih subjekt so mogoče zasebne družbe.
The Diário de República contains the full text of RTP's statutes, thereby producing the same effects as registration, including the required effects regarding information for third parties.
Diário de República vsebuje popolno besedilo RTP statuta in na ta način ustvarja enak učinek kot registracija, vključno z zahtevanimi učinki glede informiranosti tretjih strank.
Thirdly, the Commission agrees with the Portuguese authorities that Article 11(2) of Law No 21/92, under which RTP was exempted from the payment of other registration charges linked directly to the modification of the legal status of the company, does not confer a specific advantage to RTP.
Komisija se tretjič strinja s portugalskimi organi oblasti, da člen 11(2) Zakona št. 21/92, v skladu s katerim je bila RTP oproščena plačila drugih registracijskih taks v zvezi z neposredno spremembo pravnega statusa družbe, ne podeljuje posebne ugodnosti RTP.
Article 11(2) merely confirms the applicability of Article 1 of Decree-Law No 404/90, under which undertakings could be exempted from transfer tax and other legal charges payable on assets necessary for the concentration or cooperation in question.
Člen 11(2) Zakona št. 21/92 samo potrjuje uporabo člena 1 Uredbe z zakonsko močjo št. 404/90, v skladu s katerim bi podjetja lahko bila oproščena prenosnega davka in drugih pravni stroškov, plačljivih na premoženje in ki so potrebni za določeno koncentracijo ali sodelovanje.
Decree-Law No 404/90 applied to all undertakings that carried out acts of concentration or cooperation before 31 December 1993.
Uredba z zakonsko močjo št. 404/90 se uporablja za vsa podjetja, ki so pred 31. decembrom 1993 izvedla koncentracijo ali sodelovanje.
The exemption from payment of other registration fees granted to RTP does not confer a specific advantage on RTP since it was applicable to all undertakings in the same situation.
Oprostitev plačila drugih registracijskih taks RTP ne podeljuje posebnih ugodnosti, saj se je uporabljala za vsa podjetja v enaki situaciji.
After considering the comments from third parties and the Portuguese authorities, the Commission concludes that the initial agreement between the social security scheme and RTP cannot be regarded as representing typical behaviour of a private operator.
Komisija je po preučitvi pripomb tretjih strank in portugalskih organov oblasti ugotovila, da se osnovna pogodba med shemo socialne varnosti in RTP ne more upoštevati na način, da predstavlja tipično ravnanje zasebnega operaterja.
The dispute was whether or not the interpretation of certain social security rules as laid down in Implementing Decree No 12/83 was legally correct.
Obstajal je spor ali je pravno pravilna interpretacija določenih pravil socialne varnosti, kot so določena v Implementacijski uredbi št. 12/83.
The agreement confirmed RTP's interpretation, which was supported by the analysis of a tax expert who concluded that the Implementing Decree was unconstitutional.
Pogodba je potrdila RTP interpretacijo, ki jo je podprla analiza davčnega strokovnjaka, ki je ugotovil, da je bila implementacijska uredba neustavna.
However, following the agreement, the Implementing Decree was not revoked.
Vendar implementacijska uredba po pogodbi ni bila razveljavljena.
Therefore, it has to be concluded that the measure was selectively applied to RTP without affecting the applicability of the social security scheme's interpretation to other companies.
Iz tega razloga je potrebno zaključiti, da se je ukrep za RTP selektivno uporabil ne da bi pri tem vplival na uporabnost interpretacije sheme socialne varnosti za druge družbe.
