To conclude, the Commission notes that CMR did not take over any liabilities from CMdR that would establish a continuation of the old ship repair activity.
Končno Komisija ugotavlja, da podjetje CMR od podjetja CMdR ni prevzelo elementov obveznosti, s katerimi bi potrdilo, da nadaljuje s staro dejavnostjo popravila ladij.
CMR is a newly created company, which, moreover, is not in difficulty within the meaning of the Restructuring Guidelines.
Podjetje CMR novo ustanovljeno podjetje, ki poleg tega ni v težavah v smislu smernic za prestrukturiranje.
The Commission considers that investment aid might be better suited to any other financial difficulties CMR might encounter.
Komisija meni, da pomoč za prestrukturiranje lahko bolj pomaga pri drugih morebitnih finančnih težavah, s katerimi se bo podjetje CMR lahko še spopadlo.
According to the Commission’s practice since the entry into force of the Restructuring Guidelines in 1999, a company is considered to be ‘new’ for the first two years following its establishment.
Glede na prakso, ki jo od začetka veljavnosti smernic za prestrukturiranje leta 1999 izvaja Komisija, je podjetje obravnavano kot „novo“ dve leti od ustanovitve.
In this context, the Commission notes that CMR was created on 20 June 2002.
V tem smislu Komisija ugotavlja, da je bilo podjetje CMR ustanovljeno 20. junija 2002 kot novo podjetje.
The legally binding decision to grant it aid was issued on 26 June 2002, i.e. within the two-year period when CMR was a new company.
Pravno zavezujoča odločba o dodelitvi pomoči podjetju CMR je bila sprejeta 26. junija 2002, to pomeni v dveletnem obdobju po ustanovitvi.
The Commission therefore concludes that CMR is not eligible for restructuring aid.
Komisija sklepa, da podjetje CMR ne more biti upravičeno do pomoči za prestrukturiranje.
In the following paragraphs, the Commission considers whether its further doubts expressed in initiating the proceedings as to whether the aid met the other criteria applicable to restructuring aid could be allayed by the information submitted by France.
V uvodnih izjavah, ki sledijo, je Komisija preverila, ali bi podatki, ki jih je predložila Francija, lahko odpravili druge dvome, ki so se pojavili ob sklepu o sprožitvi postopka v zvezi s usklajenostjo pomoči z drugimi pogoji za pomoč za prestrukturiranje.
The Commission’s conclusions here would apply in the hypothesis that CMR was not a new company, but a company in financial difficulties and therefore eligible for restructuring aid.
Sklepi Komisije v zvezi s pogoji bi veljali ob predpostavljanju, da podjetje CMR ni novo podjetje, ampak podjetje, ki se srečuje s finančnimi težavami in je torej upravičeno do pomoči za prestrukturiranje.
For the sake of completeness, the Commission notes that the measures cannot be deemed to be rescue aid.
Zaradi izčrpnosti Komisija ugotavlja, da se zadevni ukrepi ne smejo obravnavati kot pomoč za reševanje.
The rule governing eligibility for rescue aid is identical to that for restructuring aid.
Pravilo v zvezi z upravičenostjo do pomoči za reševanje je enako pravilu v zvezi s pomočjo za prestrukturiranje.
Pursuant to point 7 of the Restructuring Guidelines, new firms are not eligible for rescue aid.
V skladu s točko 7 smernic za prestrukturiranje nova podjetja niso upravičena do pomoči za reševanje.
Consequently, as a new firm that is not in difficulty within the meaning of the Restructuring Guidelines, CMR is not eligible for this type of aid.
Zato podjetje CMR kot novo podjetje, ki ni v težavah v smislu smernic za prestrukturiranje, ni upravičeno do te vrste pomoči.
Restoration of viability
Ponovna vzpostavitev sposobnosti preživetja
According to the Restructuring Guidelines, the grant of the aid is conditional on the implementation of a restructuring plan able to restore the long-term viability of the firm within a reasonable timescale and on the basis of realistic assumptions as to future operating conditions, enabling the company to stand on its own feet.
Glede na smernice za prestrukturiranje je dodeljevanje pomoči možno le ob izvajanju načrta za prestrukturiranje, s katerim se omogoči ponovna vzpostavitev, v razumnem roku, dolgoročne sposobnosti podjetja za preživetje, ki temelji na realnih domnevah o prihodnjih pogojih poslovanja, na način, ki bi podjetju omogočilo samostojno poslovanje.
This must derive mainly from internal measures, involving the abandonment of activities which would remain structurally loss-making even after restructuring.
Ta cilj je treba doseči v glavnem z notranjimi ukrepi, zlasti opustitvijo dejavnosti, ki tudi po prestrukturiranju prinašajo strukturne izgube.
The Commission’s doubts arose because France did not describe which structural difficulties needed to be addressed by restructuring and only stated that the difficulties at CMR mainly resulted from the bankruptcy of CMdR.
Komisija je imela nekatere dvome, ker Francija ni opisala, katere so strukturne težave, ki bi zahtevale prestrukturiranje, ampak je izjavila samo, da težave, s katerimi se srečuje podjetje CMR, izhajajo v glavnem iz stečaja podjetja CMdR.
The Commission therefore doubted whether CMR was suffering from such difficulties and whether the business plan was suitable to restore its viability.
Zato Komisija dvomi, da se podjetje CMR sooča s takimi težavami in da je poslovni načrt podjetja tak, da omogoča zagotavljanje njegove sposobnosti preživetja.
France explained that CMR’s difficulties were due to the commercial policy of Cammell Laird, which had attempted to switch ship repair companies in Marseille to ship conversion.
Francija je razložila, da težave podjetja CMR izhajajo iz trgovinske politike podjetja Cammell Laird, ki je želelo preusmeriti podjetja za popravilo ladij v Marseillu v predelavo ladij.
This switch had resulted in a loss of traditional ship repair clientele.
Ta preusmeritev je povzročila izgubo tradicionalnih strank iz sektorja popravila ladij.
To illustrate this, France stated that CMdR had continued to carry on ship repair activities, albeit to a limited extent, but that at the end of its operation its order book was completely empty.
V obrazložitev tega dejstva je Francija izjavila, da je podjetje CMdR še naprej izvajalo dejavnosti popravila ladij, čeprav v omejenem obsegu, in da je bil zvezek z naročili v trenutku, ko je podjetje prenehalo delovati, popolnoma prazen.
The Commission concludes that the difficulty CMR is facing is the situation on the relevant ship repair market, characterised by a fall in demand and the need to restore credibility, which had been harmed by the policy pursued by the previous operator.
Komisija tako sklepa, da so težave, s katerimi se spopada podjetje CMR, enake položaju, ki vlada na zadevnem trgu popravila ladij in za katerega je značilen padec povpraševanja in nujnost obnovitve verodostojnosti te dejavnosti, ki je utrpela škodo zaradi politike predhodnega izvajalca dejavnosti.
The Commission further concludes that the business plan that France notified would be capable of restoring CMR’s viability within a reasonable timescale.
Komisija prav tako sklepa, da poslovni načrt podjetja, ki ga je predložila Francija, v razumnem roku omogoča obnovitev sposobnosti preživetja podjetja CMR.
However, the Commission considers that the proper instrument to address this type of difficulty is investment aid.
Vendar ocenjuje, da je najbolj primerno sredstvo za reševanje teh vrst težav pomoč za naložbe.
Avoidance of undue distortions of competition
Preprečevanje neupravičenega izkrivljanja konkurence
The Commission also doubts whether CMR is proceeding towards a genuine and irreversible reduction of its capacity, as required by the second subparagraph of Article 5(1) of the Shipbuilding Regulation.
Komisija prav tako dvomi, da podjetje CMR nadaljuje dejansko in nepovratno zmanjšanje zmogljivosti, kot to zahteva drugi pododstavek člena 5(1) Uredbe o ladjedelništvu.
Such capacity reduction has to be commensurate with the level of aid involved, the closed capacity must have been regularly used for shipbuilding, ship repair or ship conversion up to the date of notification of the aid, and the closed capacity must remain closed for not less than 10 years from the Commission’s approval of the aid.
To zmanjšanje zmogljivosti mora biti v skladu z zneskom dodeljene pomoči, zaprte zmogljivosti morajo biti tiste, ki so bile redno uporabljane za dejavnosti ladjedelništva, popravila ladij ali predelavo ladij, vse do datuma priglasitve pomoči, in zaprte zmogljivosti morajo ostati zaprte vsaj deset let od odobritve pomoči s strani Komisije.
Moreover, no account will be taken of capacity reductions in other undertakings in the same Member State unless capacity reductions in the beneficiary undertaking are impossible without undermining the viability of the restructuring plan.
Poleg tega zmanjšanje zmogljivosti v drugih podjetjih iste države članice ne bo upoštevano, razen če je predvideno zmanjšanje zmogljivosti v upravičenem podjetju nemogoče izpeljati brez ogrožanja izvedljivosti načrta prestrukturiranja.
Finally, the level of capacity reduction is to be determined on the basis of the level of actual production in the five years preceding the restructuring.
Končno bo potrebno zmanjšanje zmogljivosti določeno ob upoštevanju ravni dejanske proizvodnje v zadnjih petih letih pred prestrukturiranjem.
First, as regards France’s argument that the capacity reduction will be achieved by the closure of the other two ship repair yards in Marseille (Marine Technologie and Travofer), the Commission concludes that, in accordance with Article 5(2) of the Shipbuilding Regulation, such closure is irrelevant since it concerns undertakings other than the beneficiary, unless capacity reduction would undermine the restructuring plan.
Najprej v zvezi z argumenti Francije o zmanjšanju zmogljivosti, ki se ga doseže z zaprtjem drugih dveh ladjedelnic za popravilo ladij v Marseillu (Marine Technologie in Travofer), Komisija meni, da se v skladu s členom 5(2) Uredbe o ladjedelništvu ne sme upoštevati teh zapiranj, ker zadevajo druga podjetja in ne upravičenca, razen če je zmanjšanje zmogljivosti nemogoče brez ogrožanja izvedljivosti načrta prestrukturiranja.
In the case at hand, Marine Technologie and Travofer are entities that are legally distinct from CMR and their closure resulted from an event that was independent of CMR, namely the bankruptcy of their parent company Cammell Laird.
V zadevnem primeru sta podjetji Marine Technologie in Travofer pravna subjekta, različna od podjetja CMR, in njuno zaprtje je rezultat dogodka, ki je neodvisen od podjetja CMR, zlasti stečaja matičnega podjetja Cammell Laird.
Furthermore, France has not claimed that a capacity reduction would undermine the business plan of CMR.
Poleg tega Francija ni potrdila, da bi zmanjšanje zmogljivosti lahko ogrozilo izvedljivost poslovnega načrta podjetja CMR.
The Commission therefore does not accept this argument as evidence of a capacity reduction at CMR.
Zato Komisija ne more sprejeti tega argumenta kot argument, ki bi upravičil zmanjšanje zmogljivosti podjetja CMR.
Second, several other factors were raised which might be of relevance in deciding on the avoidance of undue distortions of competition (see paragraphs 48 to 51 above).
Drugič, pojavila so se še druga vprašanja, ki bi lahko bila pomembna pri odločanju o vprašanju neupravičenega izkrivljanja konkurence (glej uvodne izjave od 48 do 51).
The Commission observes at the outset that the Restructuring Guidelines in principle exempt SMEs from the requirement that aid recipients must mitigate any adverse effects of the aid on competitors, except where otherwise provided by rules on state aid in a particular sector.
Komisija na začetku meni, da smernice za prestrukturiranje načeloma izvzemajo mala in srednje velika podjetja iz zahtev, da morajo prejemniki pomoči ublažiti nasprotne učinke pomoči na konkurente, razen če pravila o državni pomoči v posameznem sektorju določajo drugače.
Such rules do exist here and are enshrined in the Shipbuilding Regulation, which does not provide for any such exemption for SMEs.
Taka pravila obstajajo v Uredbi o ladjedelništvu, ki ne predvideva izvzemanja za mala in srednje velika podjetja.
Similarly, the fact that other ship repairers in the region are not in competition with CMR is not decisive.
Poleg tega dejstvo, da druga podjetja za popravilo ladij v regiji ne konkurirajo podjetju CMR, ni odločujoče.
The Shipbuilding Regulation presumes that restructuring aid in this sector has an impact on competition and does not allow for any flexibility in the light of specific market conditions, in contrast to point 36 of the Restructuring Guidelines.
Uredba o ladjedelništvu predvideva, da pomoči za prestrukturiranje, dodeljene v tem sektorju, vplivajo na konkurenco, in ne omogoča nobene prožnosti v zvezi s konkretnim položajem na trgu, v nasprotju s točko 36 smernic za prestrukturiranje.
The beneficiary is obliged to adopt measures so as to decrease its capacity, and to do so to an extent commensurate with the level of aid involved.
Upravičenec mora sprejeti ukrepe, ki mu omogočijo zmanjšanje zmogljivosti do obsega, prilagojenega ravni dodeljene pomoči.
These stricter rules for shipbuilding are justified by the overcapacity in the sector.
Ta strožja pravila, povezana z ladjedelništvom, so upravičena s presežno zmogljivostjo, značilno za sektor.
Ship repair, as another sensitive sector, is subject to the same rules and principles as shipbuilding, for the same reasons of overcapacity.
Popravilo ladij je prav tako občutljiv sektor in kot tak podvržen enakim pravilom in načelom kot ladjedelništvo zaradi enakih razlogov presežne zmogljivosti.
Finally, the Commission notes that the workforce at CMdR in 1996, when its difficulties started, was 310 persons.
Poleg tega Komisija opaža, da je bilo v podjetju CMdR v letu 1996, ko so se začele težave, zaposlenih 310 oseb.
At the time of the takeover of CMdR’s assets by CMR, there were 132 persons.
V trenutku, ko je podjetje CMP prevzelo sredstva podjetja CMdR, je bilo tam zaposlenih 132 oseb.
Accordingly, this reduction in the workforce took place within CMdR and preceded the grant of restructuring aid to CMR.
To zmanjšanje števila zaposlenih se je torej izvajalo v podjetju CMdR in pred dodelitvijo pomoči za prestrukturiranje podjetju CMR.
Therefore it cannot be seen as a measure mitigating the distortions of competition.
Zato se tega ne sme obravnavati kot ukrep, ki blaži izkrivljanje konkurence.
As to the argument that capacity will be reduced through the ‘asbestos departures’, the most recent information (January 2004) indicates 58 affected workers in the period 2002 to 2004.
V zvezi z argumentom o zmanjšanju zmogljivosti z „odhodi zaradi azbesta“ zadnji podatki (januar 2004) navajajo, da se je to zgodilo v primeru 58 oseb v obdobju med letoma 2002 in 2004.
It is clear, however, that at least some of these workers will be replaced (30, as indicated in the letter of 6 March 2003).
Vseeno je jasno, da bo vsaj en del teh oseb nadomeščen (glede na pismo z dne 6. marca 2003 30 oseb).
On the basis of this information, the Commission’s doubts as to whether CMR undertook a genuine and irreversible reduction of its capacities commensurate to the aid granted have not been allayed.
Vsi ti podatki še ne odpravijo dvomov Komisije v zvezi z dejstvom, da bi podjetje CMR dejansko in nepovratno zmanjšalo zmogljivosti v zvezi z ravnijo dodeljene pomoči.
Therefore, even if CMR were eligible for aid as a company in difficulty, the aid would not have been compatible with the Shipbuilding Regulation.
Vendar tudi če bi bilo podjetje CMR upravičeno do pomoči kot podjetje v težavah, ta pomoč ne bi bila v skladu z Uredbo o ladjedelništvu.
Aid limited to the minimum
Omejitev pomoči na najnižji možen znesek
Under the Restructuring Guidelines, the amount and intensity of the aid must be limited to the strict minimum needed to enable restructuring to be undertaken in the light of the existing financial resources of the company.
Glede na smernice za prestrukturiranje morata biti znesek in intenzivnost pomoči omejena na najnižji možni znesek, ki omogoča prestrukturiranje glede na finančne zmožnosti podjetja.
Aid beneficiaries are expected to make a significant contribution to the restructuring plan from their own resources or from external financing at market conditions.
Upravičenci do pomoči morajo znatno prispevati k načrtu prestrukturiranja z lastnimi sredstvi ali prek zunanjega financiranja po tržnih pogojih.
The Commission doubted whether this condition had been fulfilled, as the available financial sources, private and public, outweighed the claimed requirements.
Komisija je dvomila, da je ta pogoj izpolnjen, ker so bila razpoložljiva sredstva za financiranje, zasebna in javna, višja od navedenih zahtev.
France replied that the amount of EUR 5930000 in public and private contributions covered, on the one hand, the costs of restructuring (EUR 3649494) and, on the other, part of the working capital requirements over and above the requirements related to restructuring.
Francija je odgovorila, da je znesek javnih in zasebnih prispevkov v višini 5930000 EUR na eni strani pokril stroške prestrukturiranja (3649494 EUR), na drugi strani pa del potreb podjetja po obratnih sredstvih, kar presega zahteve prestrukturiranja.
In this context, the Commission raised the issue of determination of the net grant equivalent of the loan granted to CMR.
V zvezi s tem je Komisija zastavila vprašanje določanja neto ekvivalenta dotacije posojila, ki je bilo dodeljeno podjetju CMR.
The Commission notice on the method for setting the reference and discount rates stipulates that the reference rate may be increased in situations involving a particular risk.
Sporočilo Komisije o metodi določanja referenčnih obrestnih mer in diskontnih stopenj navaja, da se referenčna obrestna mera v nekaterih tveganih položajih lahko zviša.
The Commission concludes that if CMR were in difficulties necessitating restructuring, which is the argument which France puts forward and with which the Commission disagrees, such a particular risk would indeed occur.
Komisija iz tega sklepa, da če je podjetje CMR v težavah in se mora prestrukturirati, kot argumentira Francija, in s tem argumentom se Komisija ne strinja, obstaja posebno tveganje.
No private borrower would provide CMR with a loan under the conditions in question, i.e. free of interest and without provision of any securities.
Noben zasebni vlagatelj pod zadevnimi pogoji ne bi dodelil posojila podjetju CMR, to pomeni brez obresti in garancije.
Therefore the totality of the loan represents aid.
Zato celoten znesek posojila predstavlja pomoč.
The total amount of aid would consequently be EUR 3490000.
Skupni znesek pomoči bi bil torej 3490000 EUR.
The claimed needs of restructuring are EUR 3649494. As the aid amounts to EUR 3490000, the private contribution of the beneficiary to restructuring corresponds to EUR 159494. The contribution of the beneficiary is thus not significant, contrary to the requirement stipulated by the Restructuring Guidelines.
Izražene potrebe po financiranju, povezane s prestrukturiranjem znašajo 3649494 EUR. Ker pomoč znaša 3490000 EUR, zasebni prispevki upravičenca do prestrukturiranja ustrezajo 159494 EUR. Prispevek upravičenca torej ni pomemben, v nasprotju s smernicami za prestrukturiranje.
The Commission concludes that even if CMR were a company in financial difficulties eligible for restructuring aid, the proportionality requirement would not have been met and therefore the aid would not have been compatible with the Restructuring Guidelines.
Komisija iz tega sklepa, da tudi če bi bilo podjetje CMR podjetje v težavah, upravičeno do pomoči za prestrukturiranje, merilo sorazmernosti ne bi bilo izpolnjeno in pomoč tako ne bi bila v skladu s smernicami za prestrukturiranje.
The 1994 Restructuring Guidelines
Smernice za prestrukturiranje iz leta 1994
In the decision initiating proceedings, the Commission assessed the measures under the Restructuring Guidelines adopted in 1999.
V sklepu o sprožitvi postopka je Komisija pregledala ukrepe v zvezi s smernicami za prestrukturiranje, sprejetimi leta 1999.
This was not disputed by France in its answer to the decision.
Takemu pristopu Francija v odgovoru na navedeni sklep ni ugovarjala.
It should be noted that Article 5 the Shipbuilding Regulation makes reference to the 1994 Community guidelines on State aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty [16] (hereinafter referred to as the 1994 Restructuring Guidelines) which were replaced in 1999 by new Restructuring Guidelines.
Treba je opozoriti, da Uredba o ladjedelništvu v členu 5 navaja smernice Skupnosti o državni pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah iz leta 1994 [16] (v nadaljnjem besedilu „smernice za prestrukturiranje iz leta 1994“), ki so jih leta 1999 nadomestile nove smernice za prestrukturiranje.
The Commission concludes, however, that even if the 1994 Restructuring Guidelines were applied, the above-mentioned reasoning would not be different.
Komisija vseeno ocenjuje, da tudi če bi bile upoštevane smernice za prestrukturiranje iz leta 1994, zgornje sklepanje ne bi bilo drugačno.
First, a new company cannot by its very nature be a company in difficulty.
Najprej, novo podjetje, že glede na svojo naravo, ne more biti podjetje v težavah.
While less explicit, the 1994 Restructuring Guidelines are also, e.g. in their definition of firms in difficulty, clearly intended for the rescue and restructuring of existing firms, and not for newly created firms.
Čeprav so smernice za prestrukturiranje iz leta 1994 manj jasne, so zlasti glede opredelitve podjetja v težavah vseeno jasno namenjene za reševanje in prestrukturiranje že obstoječih podjetij in ne novo nastalih podjetij.
Second, the criterion of ‘aid limited to the minimum’ already existed in the 1994 Restructuring Guidelines [17] and is not met in the present case.
Drugič, merilo o omejevanju pomoči na najnižji možen znesek je obstajalo že v smernicah za prestrukturiranje iz leta 1994 [17] in v tem primeru ni izpolnjeno.
It follows that the aid would not be compatible under the 1994 Restructuring Guidelines.
Pomoč posledično zato ne bi bila združljiva ob uporabi smernic za prestrukturiranje iz leta 1994.
Regional investment aid
Regionalna pomoč za naložbe
The conditions governing the compatibility of regional investment aid with the common market are laid down in Article 7 of the Shipbuilding Regulation.
Pogoji o združljivosti regionalne pomoči za prestrukturiranje s skupnim trgom so navedeni v členu 7 Uredbe o ladjedelništvu.
First, the measures must concern a region referred to in Article 87(3)(a) or Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty.
Prvič, ukrepi morajo biti namenjeni regiji iz člena 87(3)(a) ali (c) Pogodbe ES.
Second, the intensity of the aid must not exceed the ceiling determined by the Shipbuilding Regulation.
Drugič, intenzivnost pomoči ne sme preseči praga, ki ga določa Uredba.
Third, the measures must be designed for investment in upgrading or modernising existing yards with the objective of improving the productivity of existing installations.
Tretjič, ukrepi morajo biti namenjeni podpiranju naložb za nadgradnjo ali posodabljanje delovišč za povečanje produktivnosti obstoječe infrastrukture.
Fourth, the aid must not be linked to a financial restructuring of the yard.
Četrtič, pomoč ne sme biti povezana s finančnim prestrukturiranjem delovišča.
Fifth, the aid must be limited to supporting expenditure eligible under the Guidelines on national regional aid [18] (hereinafter referred to as the Regional Guidelines).
Petič, pomoč mora biti omejena na pokrivanje upravičenih stroškov v smislu smernic Skupnosti o državni regionalni pomoči [18] (v nadaljnjem besedilu „regionalne smernice“).
The region of Marseille is an assisted area under Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty.
Marseillska regija je območje, ki je upravičeno do pomoči v smislu člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES.
According to the Shipbuilding Regulation and pursuant to the regional map approved by the Commission, the intensity of aid for this region must not exceed 12,5 % net [19].
V skladu z Uredbo o ladjedelništvu in v skladu z zemljevidom regionalne pomoči, ki ga je potrdila Komisija, intenzivnost pomoči za to regijo ne sme preseči 12,5 % neto [19].
