The UK authorities informed the Commission that local taxes were finally paid with normal interest.
Organi Združenega kraljestva so obvestili Komisijo, da so bili lokalni davki končno plačani z normalnimi obrestmi.
Existence of aid in BNFL’s concessions to BE in Measures B and C
Obstoj pomoči pri koncesijah družbe BNFL družbi BE v ukrepih B in C
As a preliminary comment, the UK authorities argue that even in the event that the Commission concludes that Measure B contains aid, the way the contracts are conceived ensures that any consequential benefit temporarily enjoyed by BE will automatically be eliminated with interest if the aid package is not authorised.
V predhodni pripombi organi Združenega kraljestva dokazujejo, da način zasnove pogodb, tudi če Komisija ugotovi, da ukrep B vsebuje pomoč, zagotavlja, da se vsaka posledična korist, ki jo družba BE uživa sedaj, samodejno odstrani z obrestmi, če paket pomoči ni dovoljen.
The new contracts foresee that the new contracts will not take permanent effect if the aid package is not authorised.
Nove pogodbe predvidevajo, da nove pogodbe ne bodo trajne, če paket pomoči ne bo dovoljen.
The United Kingdom further comments on the private investor test.
Združeno kraljestvo v nadaljevanju govori o preizkusu zasebnega vlagatelja.
The United Kingdom submits that BNFL acted in the same way as any private creditor would.
Združeno kraljestvo trdi, da je družba BNFL ravnala enako, kot bi ravnal kateri koli zasebni upnik.
In particular the UK authorities argue that it cannot be said that the terms agreed by BNFL are more generous than those which would have been granted by a private creditor in comparable circumstances.
Še zlasti organi Združenega kraljestva dokazujejo, da ni mogoče trditi, da so pogoji, s katerimi se strinja družba BNFL, bolj velikodušni od tistih, ki bi jih v primerljivih razmerah ponudil zasebni upnik.
The United Kingdom submits that it is necessary to analyse whether BNFL acted in a similar way to private creditors in renegotiating its contracts as defined by the Court of Justice in its judgment in DM Transport [32].
Združeno kraljestvo trdi, da je potrebno analizirati, ali je družba BNFL podobno ravnala z zasebnimi upniki pri ponovnem pogajanju o svojih pogodbah, kot to opredeljuje Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti v svoji sodbi v zvezi s podjetjem DM Transport [32].
The United Kingdom argues that the Commission appears to have misunderstood the course of events.
Združeno kraljestvo dokazuje, da je Komisija verjetno napačno razumela potek dogodkov.
According to the UK authorities, BNFL did not resist the invocation of the hardship clause but, contrary to the Commission’s belief, had expressed itself willing to consider the possible amendments of the existing contracts prior to the announcement that BE had entered into negotiations with the UK Government.
Organi Združenega kraljestva menijo, da se družba BNFL ni upirala uporabi klavzule o finančnih težavah, ampak je v nasprotju s prepričanjem Komisije izrazila svojo pripravljenost, da upošteva mogoče spremembe obstoječih pogodb preden je bilo objavljeno, da je družba BE začela pogajanja z vlado Združenega kraljestva.
However following discussions with BE it became clear that no commercial offer which BNFL was reasonably able to make would be capable of resolving BE’s financial crisis in isolation.
Vseeno je po razpravah z družbo BE postalo jasno, da nobena poslovna ponudba, ki jo je bila zmožna dati družba BNFL, ne bi mogla sama rešiti finančne krize družbe BE.
The development of a wider restructuring plan enabled the negotiations between BE and BNFL to restart and agreement was reached on terms which had many similarities to BNFL’s original offer.
Razvoj obsežnejšega načrta za prestrukturiranje je omogočil ponovna pogajanja med družbama BE in BNFL ter dosežen je bil dogovor o pogojih, v več pogledih, podobnih tistim iz izvirne ponudbe družbe BNFL.
The United Kingdom considers that BNFL’s actions are consistent with those of a private creditor.
Združeno kraljestvo upošteva, da so dejavnosti v skladu z dejavnostmi zasebnega upnika.
The United Kingdom adds that BNFL, as the only remaining commercial UK provider of nuclear fuel cycle services, would be particularly exposed in the event of BE’s insolvency; it would have no immediate income stream for the storing or reprocessing of the large quantities of AGR fuel already delivered to it and limited prospects of recovering much in the insolvency.
Združeno kraljestvo dodaja, da bi bila družba BNFL, kot edini preostali komercialni ponudnik storitev jedrskega gorivnega cikla, v primeru stečaja družbe BE posebej izpostavljena; imela ne bi nobenega neposrednega toka prihodkov za shranjevanje in predelavo velikih količin že dobavljenega goriva iz plinsko hlajenih reaktorjev ter bi imela omejene možnosti za povrnitev sredstev v primeru stečaja.
It would have had to renegotiate a new spent fuel agreement with the liquidator or the Government with considerable uncertainty about the level of its ongoing remuneration.
Ponovno bi se morala pogajati z likvidatorjem ali vlado o novi pogodbi v zvezi z izrabljenim gorivom s precejšnjo negotovostjo o višini svojih stalnih prejemkov.
Faced with the same risk, disruption and uncertainty, the United Kingdom submits that a private creditor would undoubtedly have sought to participate in a restructuring that would necessarily have included the renegotiation of its contracts with BE with to a view to maximising the overall revenues and to ensuring BE’s viability was restored.
Združeno kraljestvo, soočeno z istim tveganjem, motnjami in negotovostjo, trdi, da bi si zasebni upnik nedvomno prizadeval sodelovati pri prestrukturiranju, ki bi nujno vključevalo ponovna pogajanja o njegovih pogodbah z družbo BE, da bi povečal skupne prihodke in zagotovil ponovno vzpostavitev sposobnosti preživetja družbe BE.
Furthermore, the United Kingdom submits that the fact that BNFL is publicly owned does not mean that BNFL’s actions were any less commercial as a result.
Ob tem Združeno kraljestvo trdi, da dejstvo, da je družba BNFL v javni lasti, ne pomeni, da so dejanja družbe BNFL manj poslovna.
It notes that BNFL is a public limited company incorporated under the Companies Act 1985.
Ugotavlja, da je družba BNFL javna delniška družba, integrirana po zakonu o gospodarskih družbah iz leta 1985.
It has a board of directors consisting of executives engaged in its commercial activities and non-executive directors with corporate experience from other private sector activities.
Ima upravni odbor, sestavljen iz vodstvenih delavcev, ki se ukvarjajo s poslovnimi dejavnostmi, in iz neizvršnih direktorjev s podjetniškimi izkušnjami iz drugih dejavnosti zasebnega sektorja.
The board of BNFL has a duty to act autonomously in the interests of the company.
Dolžnost odbora družbe BNFL je, da deluje avtonomno, v skladu z interesi družbe.
The United Kingdom adds that the UK Government did not intervene to direct BNFL’s decision-making to encourage it to act other than commercially.
Združeno kraljestvo dodaja, da vlada Združenega kraljestva ne posreduje, da bi usmerjala odločanje družbe BNFL za spodbujanje drugačnega ravnanja od poslovnega.
Finally, the United Kingdom has submitted an analysis of the creditor’s claims and the amounts compromised under the restructuring package.
Končno je Združeno kraljestvo predložilo analizo upnikovih zahtevkov in zneskov, dogovorjenih v paketu pomoči za prestrukturiranje.
The UK authorities conclude that Measure B should be considered as not containing State aid.
Organi Združenega kraljestva ugotavljajo, da bi se moralo za ukrep B šteti, da ne vsebuje državne pomoči.
Measure C
Ukrep C
The United Kingdom submits that many of the same arguments set out in recitals (191) to (197) with respect to Measure B apply equally to Measure C. In particular the United Kingdom argues that it is necessary to consider the actions of BNFL in the context of its exceptional position as BE’s principal creditor, and with BE as BNFL’s largest customer.
Združeno kraljestvo trdi, da velja veliko od istih argumentov, določenih v uvodnih izjavah 0 do (194) v zvezi z ukrepom B, v enaki meri za ukrep C. Združeno kraljestvo še zlasti dokazuje, da je treba razmisliti o dejanjih družbe BNFL v smislu njenega izjemnega položaja kot glavnega upnika družbe BE, in z družbo BE kot največjo stranko družbe BNFL.
In view of the on-going long-term trading relationship between the two and the amount of BE’s liabilities to BNFL it is unsurprising that the standstill of liabilities to BNFL accounts for the largest absolute share of the benefit accruing to BE by virtue of the standstill arrangements.
Glede na stalen dolgoročen trgovinski odnos med tema dvema in ob upoštevanju števila obveznosti družbe BE do družbe BNFL ni presenetljivo, da se odlog obveznosti do družbe BNFL šteje za največji absolutni delež dobička, ki pripada družbi BE na podlagi dogovorov o odlogu plačil.
A private creditor in the same position as BNFL, with the greatest exposure in the event of BE’s insolvency, would have little option but to act similarly.
Zasebni upnik v istem položaju kot družba BNFL – najbolj izpostavljen v primeru stečaja družbe BE – ne bi mogel ravnati drugače.
The United Kingdom also submits that it is wrong to contrast the standstill arrangements of BNFL on the one hand with those of all the other private creditors on the other.
Združeno kraljestvo tudi trdi, da je narobe primerjati dogovore o odlogu plačil družbe BNFL na eni strani z vsemi drugimi zasebnimi upniki na drugi strani.
Without the participation of any significant creditor, the arrangements as a whole could not work.
Brez sodelovanja katerega koli pomembnega upnika dogovori kot celota ne bi mogli delovati.
The United Kingdom submits a comparison of all BE’s outstanding debts with each party’s contribution to the standstill agreements and concludes that BNFL is actually contributing less as a percentage of its outstanding liabilities than most of the privately-owned creditors.
Združeno kraljestvo predloži primerjavo vseh neporavnanih dolgov družbe BE s prispevkom vsake stranke k dogovorom o odlogu plačil in zaključuje, da družba BNFL dejansko prispeva manj kot odstotek svojih neporavnanih obveznosti od večine upnikov v zasebni lasti.
Doubts on the restoration of BE’s viability within a reasonable timescale
Dvomi o ponovni vzpostavitvi sposobnosti preživetja družbe BE v razumnem roku
The UK authorities submit that paragraph 32 of the guidelines does not require the aid measures to be of limited duration.
Organi Združenega kraljestva trdijo, da odstavek (32) Smernic ne zahteva, da morajo imeti ukrepi pomoči omejeno trajanje.
It requires that the restructuring plan be as short a duration as possible and that long-term viability be restored ‘within a reasonable time-scale’.
Zahteva, da je načrt za prestrukturiranje čim bolj kratkotrajen in da se „v razumnem roku“ ponovno vzpostavi sposobnost dolgotrajnega preživetja.
According to the United Kingdom the intention of the guidelines appears to be that the grant of aid must be once-and-for-all and that it must not constitute ongoing operating aid.
Združeno kraljestvo meni, da naj bi bil namen Smernic, da se mora pomoč odobriti enkrat za vselej in da ne sme sestavljati stalne operativne pomoči.
The intention is not to exclude aid to relieve long-tail liabilities.
Namen ni izključitev pomoči zaradi izvzetja dolgoročnih obveznosti.
The United Kingdom submits that the restructuring will be complete, that viability will be restored within a reasonable timescale and that the aid is once-and-for-all, even though BE’s liabilities are long-tail liabilities.
Združeno kraljestvo trdi, da bo prestrukturiranje dokončano, da bodo sposobnosti preživetja družbe ponovno vzpostavljeni v razumnem roku in da je pomoč dodeljena enkrat in za vselej, čeprav so obveznosti družbe BE dolgoročne obveznosti.
BE will be cash generative from 2004 and will have positive annual operating cash-flows from 2005.
Družba BE bo ustvarjala dohodek od leta 2004 in bo imela od leta 2005 pozitivne letne finančne tokove pri poslovanju.
Under the Re-listing scenario BE returns to viability in 2005.
Po scenariju ponovnega vstopa na borzo bo sposobnost preživetja družbe BE ponovno vzpostavljena v letu 2005.
The restructuring plan is intended to secure that BE will stand alone without further support in the form of facilities from the UK Government from the date of restructuring; The restructuring plan demonstrates that this level of reserves generated by the company is sufficient to withstand reasonable downside scenarios and hence ensure viability.
Namen načrta za prestrukturiranje je, da se zagotovi vzpostavitev samostojnosti družbe BE, brez nadaljnje podpore v obliki sredstev s vlade Združenega kraljestva od datuma prestrukturiranja; Načrt za prestrukturiranje ponazarja, da je raven rezerv, ki jih je ustvarila družba, zadostna, da preživi v razumnih neugodnih scenarijih in zato zagotovi preživetje.
On the issue of ongoing relief of current expenditure, the UK Government recalls that the Government’s undertaking covers only contracted historic liabilities, decommissioning liabilities and uncontracted liabilities associated with historic AGR spent-fuel, all PWR spent fuel and operational waste and other ancillary liabilities.
V zvezi s stalno pomočjo pri tekočih odhodkih opozarja Vlada Združenega kraljestva, da vladno podjetje pokriva le pretekle pogodbene obveznosti, obveznosti razgradnje in nepogodbene obveznosti, povezane s preteklim izrabljenim gorivom iz plinsko hlajenih reaktorjev, vsem izrabljenim gorivom iz tlačnovodnih reaktorjev ter operativnimi odpadki in drugimi pomožnimi obveznostmi.
The United Kingdom submits that contracted historic spent fuel liabilities relate to AGR fuel loaded into reactors prior to the restructuring effective date.
Združeno kraljestvo trdi, da veljajo pogodbene obveznosti iz preteklosti v zvezi z izrabljenim gorivom za gorivo iz plinsko hlajenih reaktorjev, natočeno v reaktorje pred datumom uveljavitve prestrukturiranja.
BE has an obligation under the nuclear site licence to manage that fuel and consequently incur costs in so doing.
Družba BE je dolžna v skladu z dovoljenjem za jedrsko elektrarno poskrbeti za to gorivo in zato pri tem nastale stroške.
These costs can therefore not be avoided.
Tem stroškom se zato ni mogoče izogniti.
A similar argument applies to the decommissioning of sites.
Podoben argument velja tudi za razgradnjo elektrarn.
BE will for these costs make contributions towards the decommissioning of the reactors to the Nuclear Decommissioning Fund and contribute consequently significantly to the overall decommissioning costs.
Družba BE bo za te stroške prispevala k razgradnji reaktorjev v sklad za financiranje razgradnje in zato pomembno prispevala k skupnim stroškom razgradnje.
As far as the uncontracted liabilities associated with historic AGR spent fuel are concerned, the United Kingdom submits that these liabilities relate solely to AGR fuel loaded into reactors before the Restructuring Effective Date. The liabilities associated with PWR spent fuel concern all liabilities associated with PWR fuel loaded into the Sizewell B reactor.
V zvezi z nepogodbenimi obveznostmi, povezanimi s preteklim izrabljenim gorivom iz plinsko hlajenih reaktorjev, trdi Združeno kraljestvo, da veljajo te obveznosti le za gorivo iz plinsko hlajenih reaktorjev, ki je bilo vstavljeno v reaktorje pred datumom uveljavitve prestrukturiranja.
For the future liabilities BE will contribute GBP 150000 for every tonne of PWR fuel loaded into Sizewell B after the Restructuring Effective Date.
Obveznosti, povezane z izrabljenim gorivom iz tlačnovodnih reaktorjev, veljajo za vse obveznosti, povezane z gorivom iz tlačnovodnih reaktorjev, ki je bilo vstavljeno v reaktor elektrarne Sizewell B. Za prihodnje obveznosti bo družba BE prispevala 150000 GBP za vsako tono goriva iz tlačnovodnih reaktorjev, vstavljenega v elektrarno Sizewell B, po datumu uveljavitve prestrukturiranja.
The level of contribution has been benchmarked against comparable international costs for spent fuel management with a view to covering all the future costs of PWR fuel.
Višino prispevkov so analitično primerjali s primerljivimi mednarodnimi stroški za ravnanje z izrabljenim gorivom za pokrivanje vseh prihodnjih stroškov za gorivo iz tlačnovodnih reaktorjev.
The remaining uncontracted liabilities relate to various types of non-fuel waste associated with the operation of BE’s plants and are not expected to be significant.
Ostale nepogodbene obveznosti veljajo za različne vrste odpadkov, ki niso gorivo, povezane z delovanjem elektrarn družbe BE, in naj ne bi bile pomembne.
The costs of decommissioning and uncontracted liabilities are largely fixed and there is little scope for BE to increase them significantly through normal station operation.
Stroški razgradnje in nepogodbene obveznosti so v večinoma fiksni in družba BE ima na voljo le malo možnosti za znatno povečanje teh stroškov pri normalnem obratovanju elektrarne.
Besides any material increase in liabilities arising from a discretionary change in operating procedures for BE’s economic benefit or resulting from a breach of a minimum performance standard will have to be paid by BE.
Razen tega bo družba BE morala kriti vsako zvišanje stroškov obveznosti, ki bi nastalo zaradi samovoljnih sprememb operativnih postopkov v gospodarsko korist BE ali zaradi kršitve standarda najmanjše učinkovitosti.
In addition, it is important to note that even if the Government directly pays for BE’s contracted liabilities, the Government support for decommissioning and uncontracted liabilities is in the form of a contingent guarantee.
Razen tega je pomembno ugotoviti, da je vladna pomoč za razgradnjo in nepogodbene obveznosti v obliki pogojnega jamstva, čeprav plačuje vlada pogodbene obveznosti družbe BE neposredno.
The United Kingdom submits that Measure A should not, therefore, be categorised as an ongoing relief of current expenditure.
Združeno kraljestvo trdi, da se ukrep A zato ne bi smel razvrščati kot stalna pomoč pri tekočih odhodkih.
The accounting treatment of Measure A, which is accounted for in BE’s balance sheet as an asset, is consistent with this conclusion.
Računovodska obravnava ukrepa A, ki se upošteva v bilanci stanja družbe BE kot premoženje, je v skladu s tem sklepom.
BE is not in receipt of an on-going subsidy because Measure A is in no way related to the on-going operations of BE and the costs covered by Measure A will need to be borne irrespective of the duration and scale of BE’s future operations.
Družba BE ne prejema stalne subvencije, ker ukrep A nikakor ni povezan s stalnimi dejavnostmi družbe BE, in stroške, ki jih pokriva ukrep A, bo treba kriti ne glede na trajanje in obseg prihodnjih operacij družbe BE.
As to Measure B, the United Kingdom does not accept that it constitutes State aid.
V zvezi z ukrepom B se Združeno kraljestvo ne strinja, da sestavlja državno pomoč.
The United Kingdom also submits that it is inappropriate to view Measure A as objectionable on the ground that it relieves BE from part of its ‘polluter pays’ obligations.
Združeno kraljestvo tudi trdi, da je neprimerno ocenjevati ukrep A kot neustrezen na podlagi tega, da pomaga družbi BE pri delu njenih obveznosti „onesnaževalec plača“.
Under the restructuring plan BE will be paying for pollution costs from future operations.
Po načrtu za prestrukturiranje bo družba BE plačevala stroške onesnaževanja pri prihodnjih operacijah.
In addition it will be contributing towards historic pollution costs through the cash sweep and its other contributions to the NLF.
Razen tega bo prispevala k preteklim stroškom onesnaževanja s prenosi denarja in drugimi prispevki v sklad za jedrske obveznosti.
Without the Government’s undertaking, BE would have become insolvent and would have been unable to pay any future ‘polluter pays’ obligations.
Brez ukrepanja države bi družba BE postala plačilno nesposobna in ne bi mogla plačevati prihodnjih obveznosti „onesnaževalec plača“.
The United Kingdom reacts further to the doubts expressed by the Commission in its decision to initiate proceedings on the question as to whether the restoration of viability of BE can be considered as mainly deriving from internal resources.
Združeno kraljestvo se nadalje odziva na dvome, ki jih je izrazila Komisija v odločitvi o sprožitvi postopkov v zvezi s vprašanjem, ali ponovna vzpostavitev sposobnosti preživetja družbe BE izhaja predvsem iz notranjih sredstev.
The United Kingdom explains that the main reason for BE’s current predicament is its inability to meet unavoidable historic liabilities and regulatory and minimum safety requirements.
Združeno kraljestvo pojasnjuje, da je glavni razlog za težki finančni položaj družbe BE v njeni nezmožnosti izpolnjevanja neizogibnih preteklih obveznosti ter predpisanih in najmanjših varnostnih zahtev.
Notwithstanding this the United Kingdom submits that the internal measures taken by BE are not insignificant.
Združeno kraljestvo ne glede na to trdi, da notranji ukrepi, ki jih izvaja družba BE, niso pomembni.
It has sold its stake in Bruce Power and in Amergen and is undertaking significant internal restructuring which will include the […].
Svoj delež je prodala družbama Bruce Power in Amergen ter izvaja pomembno notranje prestrukturiranje, ki bo vključevalo […].
It has also increased the proportion of medium term fixed price contracts, including with large industrial and commercial customers, with a view to limiting price risks in the wholesale market.
Sklenila je tudi več srednjeročnih pogodb s fiksno ceno, vključno z velikimi industrijskimi in poslovnimi strankami, za omejitev cenovnega tveganja na trgu na debelo.
In addition the most significant internal measures are its renegotiation of the fuel supply and spent fuel management contracts with BNFL.
Razen tega sta njena najpomembnejša notranja ukrepa ponovno pogajanje o dobavi goriva in pogodbe o ravnanju z izrabljenim gorivom z družbo BNFL.
Finally the United Kingdom considers that the guidelines require a balance to be struck between State contributions, private contributions and the company’s own contribution but does not mean that the company must be able to turn itself around without intervention from the State.
Končno vlada Združenega kraljestva meni, da zahtevajo Smernice vzpostavitev ravnovesja med prispevki države, zasebnimi prispevki in prispevki družbe same, vendar pri tem od družbe ne zahteva spremembe njenega položaja brez posredovanja države.
The uncapped amount of aid
Neomejena višina pomoči
After having recalled why it is not possible to quantify precisely the costs of the nuclear liabilities, the UK authorities submitted that it is not necessary in this case to know the precise quantum of aid or to determine which measures amount to aid to reach a view on whether the package is the minimum necessary.
Potem, ko so organi Združenega kraljestva opozorili, zakaj ni mogoče natančno določiti višine stroškov jedrskih obveznosti, so predložili mnenje, da v tem primeru ni treba vedeti natančne višine pomoči ali določiti, kateri ukrepi prispevajo k pomoči, da bi se ugotovilo, ali paket predstavlja najnižji potrebni znesek.
The Government’s undertaking, covering defined categories of liabilities, is fundamental to the Restructuring Package and the restoration of BE’s viability.
Ukrepanje države, ki pokriva opredeljene kategorije obveznosti, je bistveno za paket pomoči za prestrukturiranje in ponovno vzpostavitev pogojev za preživetje družbe BE.
