It should be pointed out that in 1993 the complainant SIC also alleged a violation of Article 86(1) of the EC Treaty (formerly Article 90) as regards the legal structure put in place by the Portuguese State on the advertising market and RTP's programme acquisition policy (see also Commission Decision 89/536CEE of 17 September 1989).
Moralo bi biti poudarjeno, da je tožnik SIC v letu 1993 zatrjeval tudi kršitev člena 86(1) Pogodbe ES (predhoden člen 90) glede pravne strukture, ki jo je vzpostavila portugalska država glede trga reklamiranja in politike pridobitve programov RTP [glej tudi Odločbo Komisije 89/536/EGS (UL L 284, 3.10.1989, str. 36)].
Subsequently, the Commission assessed these allegations under Article 86(1).
Posledično je Komisija ta zatrjevanja ocenila v skladu s členom 86(1).
Therefore, any loss of income resulting from the acceptance of late payments from the period before mid-1997 should be regarded as public resources [53].
Iz tega razloga se morajo katere koli izgube zaradi sprejema zakasnelih plačil iz obdobja pred sredino leta 1997 obravnavati kot javna sredstva [53].
As emphasised above, the system of annual compensation payments chosen by the Portuguese authorities had the effect of underestimating the actual costs of the public service tasks performed by RTP.
Kot je zgoraj poudarjeno je imel sistem letnih kompenzacijskih plačil, ki so ga izbrali portugalski organi oblasti vpliv podcenjevanja dejanskih stroškov nalog javne službe, ki jo je izvajal RTP.
The Commission received observations from the Portuguese authorities by letters of 28 and 31 January 2002.
Komisija je s pismi dne 28. in 31. januarja 2002 prejela pripombe portugalskih organov oblasti.
It subsequently received comments from several interested parties.
Naknadno je prejela pripombe različnih zainteresiranih strank.
The State purchased TDP from RTP.
Država je od RTP kupila TDP.
Since it paid for the purchase by increasing RTP's capital by an amount exactly equal to the value of the assets that had been hived off, the measure does not constitute state aid.
Ukrepi ne predstavljajo državne pomoči, ker je plačala nakup s povečanjem kapitala RTP, v znesku, ki je točno enak vrednosti premoženja, ki je bilo odcepljeno.
In the communication on broadcasting, the Commission described the criteria on the basis of which it intends to assess the proportionality of state funding.
Komisija je v sporočilu o radioteleviziji opisala kriterij, na osnovi katerega namerava oceniti proporcionalnost državne denarne podpore.
It requires that the state aid should not exceed the net costs of the public service mission and that no market distortions should occur that were not necessary for the fulfilment of the public service mission [86].
Zahteva, da državna pomoč ne preseže neto stroške poslanstva javne službe in da ne nastopijo izkrivljenja na trgu, ki ne bi bila nujno potrebna pri izpolnjevanju poslanstva javne službe [86].
The system led to an accumulation of debt.
Sistem je privedel do kopičenja dolga.
RTP carried out a study on the possibilities for restructuring the company in the period 1996 to 2000.
RTP je v obdobju 1996-2000 izvedel študijo o možnostih prestrukturiranja družbe.
The study did not lead to any financial commitment on the part of the State.
Študija ni vodila do finančne obveze države.
As to the protocol on cinema promotion, SIC commented that the State had undertaken to provide compensation each year for the costs of the public service obligation, including cinema promotion.
SIC je glede protokola o promociji kinematografov pojasnil, da se je država zavezala vsako leto nuditi kompenzacijo za stroške obveznosti iz opravljanja javne službe, vključno s promocijo.
This thus represented double financing for RTP for the same aim.
To je na ta način predstavljajo dvojno financiranje RTP za isti namen.
the inclusion in 1996 of the operating costs of RTP 2 as reimbursable public service costs is based on the 1996 Public Service Contract, according to which compensation for RTP 2's operating costs under the Contract took effect from 1 January 1996 onwards [49]; the loan of PTE 20000 million should not be regarded as compensation since it was granted on market terms, the capital increases were also designed to finance investments and not simply to provide financial compensation for reimbursable public service costs.
vključitev stroškov poslovanja RTP 2 v letu 1996, kot povračilnih stroškov javne službe temelji na pogodbi za izvajanje javne službe iz leta 1996, v skladu s katero je kompenzacija stroškov poslovanja RTP 2 v skladu s pogodbo veljala od 1. januarja 1996 dalje [49],se posojilo v višini 20 milijard PTE ne sme upoštevati kot kompenzacija, ker je bilo odobreno pod tržnimi pogoji,
Furthermore, the network operator was not integrated into the structures of the public administrations as it was set up under company law as a public limited company.
Poleg tega omrežni operater ni bil integriran v strukturo javne uprave, ker je bil ustanovljen v skladu s pravom družb, kot javna delniška družba.

Beneficiary of the aid
Upravičenec do pomoči
The British Energy plc group
Skupina British Energy plc
BE is an electricity generator.
Družba BE je proizvajalec električne energije.
It was privatised by the UK authorities in 1996.
Organi Združenega kraljestva so jo privatizirale leta 1996.
Except for three special shares held by the UK authorities (one in BE and one in each of its two principal UK subsidiaries), BE is now wholly owned by private investors.
Razen treh posebnih deležev, ki jih imajo organi Združenega kraljestva (enega v družbi BE in po enega v vsaki od njenih dveh glavnih hčerinskih družb v Združenem kraljestvu), je družba BE zdaj popolnoma v lasti zasebnih vlagateljev.
At the time of privatisation the primary components of BE’s business were six nuclear power stations in England and two nuclear power stations in Scotland.
V času privatizacije je glavni del poslovne dejavnosti družbe BE predstavljalo šest jedrskih elektrarn v Angliji in dve jedrski elektrarni na Škotskem.
BE continues to operate these stations which have a total registered capacity of 9820 MW, of which 7281 MW is in England and Wales and 2539 MW is in Scotland.
Družba BE še naprej upravlja te elektrarne, ki imajo skupno registrirano zmogljivost 9820 MW, od česar 7281 MW v Angliji in Walesu ter 2539 MW na Škotskem.
BE is the only private sector owned operator of nuclear power stations in the UK.
Družba BE je edini upravljavec jedrskih elektrarn v Združenem kraljestvu, ki je v lasti zasebnega sektorja.
It supplies electricity to the wholesale market and to certain large industrial and commercial (I & C) customers but not otherwise by retail.
Električno energijo dobavlja na trg za prodajo na debelo ter nekaterim velikim industrijskim in poslovnim („I&P“) odjemalcem, vendar ne tudi na drobno.
Since privatisation, BE has entered a 50:50 joint venture in the USA (called Amergen) to purchase and operate US nuclear generating plants and acquired an 82,4 % interest in the lease of Bruce Power LP in Ontario, Canada.
Po privatizaciji se je družba BE vključila v mešano družbo z razmerjem 50: 50 v ZDA z imenom Amergen za nakup in upravljanje ameriških elektrarn za proizvodnjo jedrske energije ter pridobila delež 82,4 % v najemu družbe Bruce Power LP v Ontariu v Kanadi.
In the United Kingdom BE acquired in 1999 the retail supply business of South Wales Electricity (subsequently sold in 2000) and, in 2000, the 1970 MW Eggborough coal-fired station to get greater flexibility and a measure of security against outage of its nuclear plants.
V Združenem kraljestvu je družba BE leta 1999 prevzela maloprodajne dobavne dejavnosti družbe South Wales Electricity (pozneje prodane leta 2000) in leta 2000 elektrarno na premog Eggborough z zmogljivostjo 1970 MW, da bi pridobila večjo gibljivost in zagotovilo v primeru izpada svojih jedrskih elektrarn.
Of the eight UK BE nuclear stations, seven are advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGR), a design and technology unique to the UK.
Od osmih jedrskih elektrarn družbe BE v Združenem kraljestvu jih ima sedem plinsko hlajene reaktorje („PHR“), ki so konstrukcijsko in tehnološko značilni le za Združeno kraljestvo.
The eighth, Sizewell B, is a pressurised water reactor (PWR), a design and technology widely adopted internationally.
Osma, Sizewell B, je tlačnovodna elektrarna z reaktorjem („TEJR“), konstrukcijsko in tehnološko mednarodno široko rabljenega tipa.
BE’s principal UK subsidiaries are:
Glavne hčerinske družbe družbe BE v Združenem kraljestvu so:
British Energy Generation Ltd (BEG), which owns and operates the six nuclear power stations in England and holds the supply licence for the direct supply business;
British Energy Generation Ltd („BEG“), ki je lastnica in upravljavka šestih jedrskih elektrarn v Angliji in lastnica dovoljenja za neposredno dobavo;
British Energy Generation (UK) Ltd (BEGUK), which owns and operates the two nuclear power stations in Scotland;
British Energy Generation (UK) Ltd („BEGUK“), ki je lastnica in upravljavka dveh jedrskih elektrarn na Škotskem;
Eggborough Power (Holdings) Ltd (EPL), which owns and operates the Eggborough coal fired power station in England;
Eggborough Power (Holdings) Ltd („EPL“), ki je lastnica in upravljavka elektrarne na premog Eggborough v Angliji;
British Energy Power & Energy Trading Ltd (BEPET), which sells all of BE’s output (other than in relation to the direct supply business) and manages market risks.
British Energy Power & Energy Trading Ltd („BEPET“), ki prodaja vso proizvodnjo družbe BE (razen v zvezi z dejavnostjo neposredne dobave) in upravlja s tržnimi tveganji.
The recent developments
Zadnji razvojni dosežki
As a consequence of the substantial fall in electricity prices in the market in which BE operates coupled with BE’s lack of hedging and the unplanned power station outages, revenues generated by BE’s power stations decreased markedly during 2002.
Zaradi znatnega padca cen električne energije na trgu, na katerem deluje družba BE, pomanjkljivega zavarovanja družbe BE pred tveganji in nenačrtovanih izpadov električne energije v elektrarnah so se prihodki elektrarn družbe BE leta 2002 izrazito zmanjšali.
The high proportion of non avoidable costs [4] in BE’s cost structure in its nuclear power stations has also given it little opportunity to respond to lower prices by reducing costs.
Zaradi visokega deleža neizogibnih stroškov [4] v stroškovni strukturi jedrskih elektrarn družbe BE je imela družba tudi slabe možnosti, da bi se na nižje cene odzvala z znižanjem stroškov.
A price fall of GBP 8,56/MWh, that has occurred in two years preceding 2002, is equivalent to an annual reduction of income of GBP 642 million per annum on output of 75 TWh (the output of BE’s power stations in the financial year).
Padec cene za 8,56 GBP/MWh, do katerega je prišlo v dveh letih pred letom 2002, ustreza letnemu zmanjšanju dohodka v vrednosti 642 milijonov GBP na leto pri proizvodnji 75 TWh (skupna proizvodnja elektrarn družbe BE v finančnem letu).
Neither electricity trading contracts nor the direct sales business have sufficiently mitigated the effect of this price fall on BE’s income.
Niti trgovske pogodbe za trgovanje z električno energijo niti dejavnosti neposredne prodaje niso zadostno ublažile učinka, ki ga je imel padec cen na dohodek družbe BE.
As a result of these factors, BE’s cash position deteriorated significantly during the summer of 2002, with cash balances reducing from GBP 231 million at the beginning of April 2002 to only GBP 78 million at the end of August 2002, with the decline accelerating from the end of June 2002.
Kot posledica teh dejavnikov se je denarni položaj družbe BE poleti 2002 znatno poslabšal, z znižanjem stanja denarnih sredstev z 231 milijonov GBP na začetku aprila 2002 na le 78 milijonov GBP na koncu avgusta 2002, s pospešenim padcem od konca junija 2002 dalje.
In addition to the significant reduction in cash balances, BE anticipated substantial cash outflows in the period from September 2002 to March 2003.
Razen znatnega znižanja stanja denarnih sredstev je družba BE pričakovala precejšne denarne odlive v obdobju od septembra 2002 do marca 2003.
These outflows included payments to British Nuclear Fuel Limited (BNFL) under its spent fuel management contracts, significant capital expenditure at BE’s Bruce Power facility in Canada and the repayment of the first tranche of its bonds, due on 25 March 2003.
Ti odlivi so vključevali plačila družbi British Nuclear Fuel Limited („BNFL“) v skladu s pogodbami o ravnanju z izrabljenim gorivom, naložbe v osnovna sredstva v elektrarno družbe Bruce Power v Kanadi, ki je v lasti družbe BE, in odplačevanje prve tranše delnic z rokom plačila 25. marca 2003.
On 5 September 2002, in the light of a failed bond offering in the summer and concern about its ability to access its undrawn bank facilities, BE’s Board received legal advice that the company would not be able to draw down credit facilities.
septembra 2002, glede na neuspešne ponudbe delnic poleti in zaskrbljenost v zvezi z zmožnostjo družbe za dostop do svojih neuporabljenih bančnih zmogljivosti, je bil upravi predložen pravni nasvet, da družba BE ne bo mogla izčrpati posojilnih sredstev.
Indeed, as the directors were not in a position to state that they believed that the Company could repay those credit facilities, drawing them down would have been equivalent to trading without any reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation.
Res bi lahko izčrpanje posojilnih sredstev, ker direktorji niso bili v položaju, da bi lahko izjavili, da verjamejo v zmožnost družbe za odplačilo posojilnih sredstev, pomenilo isto kot trgovanje brez razumne možnosti preprečitve likvidacije zaradi plačilne nesposobnosti.
This led BE to seek financial support from the UK authorities in order to avoid insolvency proceedings.
Zato je družba BE zaprosila za finančno pomoč organe Združenega kraljestva, da bi se izognila stečajnemu postopku.
That financial support was approved as rescue aid by the Commission’s decision of 27 November 2002.
To finančna pomoč je bila odobrena kot pomoč za reševanje z odločbo Komisije z dne 27. novembra 2002.
That decision referred to the undertaking by the UK Government to notify a liquidation or a restructuring plan or proof that the facilities had been reimbursed in full and/or that the guarantee had been terminated to the Commission no later than six months after the rescue aid was authorised.
Ta odločba je veljala za obveznost vlade Združenega kraljestva, da Komisiji najpozneje 6 mesecev po odobritvi pomoči za reševanje sporoči likvidacijo ali načrt za prestrukturiranje ali dokaže, da so bila sredstva v celoti povrnjena in/ali to, da se je jamstvo umaknilo.
On 7 March 2003, the UK Government notified BE’s restructuring plan to the Commission.
marca 2003 je vlada Združenega kraljestva Komisiji sporočila načrt za prestrukturiranje družbe BE.
The restructuring plan
Načrt za prestrukturiranje
Origin of BE’s difficulties
Vzroki za težave družbe BE
The UK Government has identified the origin of BE’s difficulties to be as follows:
Vlada Združenega kraljestva je za težave družbe BE navedla naslednje vzroke:
BE’s unhedged position
Nezavarovan položaj družbe BE
Unlike the other large private sector generating companies, BE does not own a retail customer business that provides a natural hedge for its wholesale electricity price risk.
V nasprotju z drugimi velikimi proizvodnimi družbami v zasebnem sektorju družba BE ne opravlja dejavnosti prodaje na drobno, ki je naravno zavarovanje pred tveganjem pri veleprodajnih cenah električne energije.
BE instead sells its electricity primarily in the wholesale market and a small share to large Industrial and Commercial (I & C) Consumers.
Družba BE namesto tega prodaja električno energijo predvsem na trg za prodajo na debelo, majhen delež pa velikim industrijskim in poslovnim („I&P“) odjemalcem.
BE’s position in the market for retail supply to large I & C Consumers did not provide a hedge against the fall in wholesale prices.
Položaj družbe BE na trgu maloprodajne dobave velikim odjemalcem I&P družbe ni zavaroval pred tveganjem padca veleprodajnih cen.
This market has been fully open to competition since 1994.
Ta trg je od leta 1994 popolnoma odprt za konkurenco.
It is competitive with price sensitive consumers.
Za kupce, občutljive na ceno, je konkurenčen.
Accordingly, there has been no increase in retail margins to offset the effects of falling wholesale prices.
Skladno s tem ni bilo nobenega povečanja marž trgovine na drobno, ki bi izravnale učinke znižanih veleprodajnih cen.
BE’s high proportion of non-avoidable costs
Visok delež neizogibnih stroškov družbe BE
The cost structures of nuclear plants are characterised by very high non-avoidable costs and low avoidable costs [5].
Za stroškovne strukture jedrskih elektrarn so značilni zelo visoki neizogibni stroški in nizki izogibni stroški [5].
Some of BE’s non-avoidable costs are unique to nuclear power stations.
Nekateri od neizogibnih stroškov družbe BE so značilni le za jedrske elektrarne.
Firstly, nuclear decommissioning liabilities are unrelated to output, except in respect to their timing, which is based on the timing of station closures.
Prvič, obveznosti jedrske razgradnje niso povezane s proizvodnjo, razen v zvezi z njihovo časovno razporeditvijo, ki temelji na razporeditvi časa zaprtja elektrarne.
Secondly, spent fuel management costs, the costs of reprocessing, storage and final disposal of spent fuel, are also not avoidable for fuel that has already been loaded into the reactor.
Drugič, stroški ravnanja z izrabljenim gorivom – stroški predelave, skladiščenja in končne odstranitve – so za gorivo, ki je bilo že natočeno v reaktor, prav tako neizogibni.
