€16,5 million of this aid, to last for a maximum of six months, but renewable and as a part of a maximum amount of €30,5 million (FRF 200 million) had already been paid by 9 January 2002.
Do 9. januarja 2002 je bilo plačanih 16,5 milijona EUR pomoči, ki naj bi trajala šest mesecev, z možnim podaljšanjem, in ki naj bi bila del skupnega zneska pomoči v višini 30,5 milijona EUR (200 milijonov FRF).
The balance of €14 million was paid on 28 February 2002.
Preostali znesek 14 milijonov EUR je bil plačan 28. februarja 2002.
Finally, as from the end of October 2002, Air Lib introduced low-cost flights from Paris to Italy.
Od konca oktobra 2002 je družba Air Lib odprla tudi nizkocenovne linije med Parizom in Italijo.
Meanwhile, it also appeared that commercial debts had remained outstanding or specific advances had been granted; these included the deferment of social security contributions, advances paid by Air France, exemption from VAT, etc. Thus, on 1 November 2002, still according to the press, Air Lib owed debts totalling approximately €90 million to various public bodies or companies.
V tem času je bilo videti, da gospodarski dolg družbe ostaja neporavnan in da so ji bile dodeljene posebne ugodnosti; med temi so bili odlog plačila prispevkov za socialno varnost, vnaprejšnja plačila družbe Air France, izvzetje plačila davka na dodano vrednost itd. Tako je po navedbah tiska družba Air Lib na dan 1. novembra 2002 še vedno dolgovala približno 90 milijonov EUR različnim javnim organom ali podjetjem.
There were also plans for a Community shareholder, the Dutch group IMCA, to take over Air Lib.
Obstajali so tudi načrti, da delničar iz Skupnosti, nizozemska skupina IMCA, prevzame Air Lib.
Following this lack of funding and the additional difficulties caused by the events of 11 September 2001, the company forecast losses in 2001 and 2002.
Zaradi pomanjkanja sredstev in dodatnih težav, ki so jih povzročili dogodki 11. septembra 2001, je družba napovedala izgubo v letih 2001 in 2002.
So France provided aid to rescue the company.
Zato je Francija zagotovila pomoč za reševanje podjetja.
It appeared that the company had proceeded to open many new routes according to information which appeared in the press or on its own Internet site.
Po informacijah iz tiska in spletne strani družbe je bilo videti, da je družba odprla številne nove linije.
Initially, as from winter 2001, a new route to North Africa was opened while from April 2002 low-cost flights were offered in France under the name of Air Lib Express.
Na začetku, in sicer od zime leta 2001 je bila odprta nova linija do severne Afrike, od aprila 2002 pa so bili na voljo nizkocenovni poleti po Franciji pod blagovno znamko Air Lib Express.

The municipal council of Haaksbergen, a municipality with 24000 inhabitants located in the province of Overijssel close to the German border, had been hoping to regenerate its neglected centre since the beginning of the nineties.
Občinski svet Haaksbergna, občine s 24000 prebivalci, ki leži v pokrajini Overijssel v bližini nemške meje, si prizadeva oživiti svoj zanemarjeni center že od začetka devetdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja.
With the help of consultants, different construction plans were studied in order to provide quality housing and commercial premises.
S pomočjo svetovalcev so preučili različne gradbene načrte za zagotovitev kakovostnih stanovanjskih in poslovnih prostorov.
However, neither an initial construction company with which the municipality intended to carry out the project nor the municipality itself was able to acquire the necessary plots of land.
Vendar pa nista bila niti prvotno gradbeno podjetje, s katerim je občina nameravala izvesti projekt, niti občina sama sposobna pridobiti potrebnih delov zemljišča.
At the end of the nineties, six construction companies acquired the plots of land concerned and then joined forces.
Konec devetdesetih let prejšnjega stoletja je šest gradbenih podjetij pridobilo dele zadevnega zemljišča in se nato združilo.
They drew up a building project consisting in the building of 58 apartments and 11 commercial premises.
Pripravili so gradbeni projekt, ki je vključeval gradnjo 58 stanovanj in 11 poslovnih prostorov.
The project did not involve the construction companies in any public works, such as infrastructure, that would subsequently be handed over to the municipality.
Projekt ni vključeval gradbenih podjetij pri katerih koli javnih delih, kot na primer infrastrukturi, ki bi se nato predala občini.
The project was for the construction of apartments and shops that were to be sold or leased to private investors.
Projekt se je nanašal na gradnjo stanovanj in trgovin, ki bi se prodale ali dale v najem zasebnim vlagateljem.
However, the calculations showed that the project would not be profitable.
Vendar so izračuni pokazali, da projekt ne bi bil dobičkonosen.
Support from the public authorities
Podpora javnih organov
Given the great importance it attached to the project presented by the six construction companies for regenerating the centre of the municipality, the local authority, in the knowledge that it could count on receiving a financial contribution from the province, agreed to support the project, mainly by covering the expected losses.
Glede na velik pomen, ki so ga projektu, ki ga je predstavilo šest gradbenih podjetij za oživitev centra občine, pripisovali lokalni organi, so se zadevni organi ob zavedanju, da lahko računajo na finančni prispevek pokrajine, ki je obljubila podporo projektu, predvsem s pokritjem pričakovanih izgub, strinjali, da bodo projekt podprli.
The municipality has already signed the cooperation agreement with the construction companies, but the aid provided for in the agreement has not yet been granted.
Občina je z gradbenimi podjetji že podpisala sporazum o sodelovanju, vendar se pomoč, predvidena v sporazumu, še ni odobrila.
The public support will mainly take the form of a grant of €2,98 million from the municipality to the construction companies (Measure 1).
Javna podpora bo imela pretežno obliko nepovratnih sredstev v višini 2,98 milijona EUR, ki jih bo občina dodelila gradbenim podjetjem (ukrep 1).
This amount includes the financial support of €453780 (NLG 1000000) granted by the province for this project and represents the expected project losses calculated on the basis of the anticipated costs and revenues.
Ta znesek vključuje finančno podporo v višini 453780 EUR (1000000 NLG), ki jo za ta projekt odobri pokrajina ter pomeni pričakovane projektne izgube, izračunane na podlagi predvidenih stroškov in prihodkov.
One provision of the cooperation agreement stipulates that, at the end of the project, an independent expert will calculate actual costs and revenues.
Ena od določb v sporazumu o sodelovanju določa, da bo na koncu projekta neodvisni strokovnjak izračunal dejanske stroške in prihodke.
If the actual losses calculated ex post by the expert turn out to be smaller than the expected losses on the basis of which the grant will be made available, only 50 % of the part of the grant in excess of the actual losses has to be paid back to the municipality.
Če se izkaže, da so dejanske izgube, ki jih izračuna strokovnjak naknadno, manjše od pričakovanih izgub, na podlagi katerih bodo dana na voljo nepovratna sredstva, je treba občini vrniti le 50 % tistega dela nepovratnih sredstev, ki presega dejanske izgube.
In other words, the project developers can keep 50 % of the part of the grant which does not cover actual losses.
Povedano drugače, razvijalci projekta lahko obdržijo 50 % dela nepovratnih sredstev, ki ne pokriva dejanskih stroškov.
This provision will be referred to below as ‘the partial repayment provision’.
Na to določbo se bo v nadaljevanju sklicevalo kot na „določbo o delnem povračilu“.
If the actual losses are greater than the expected losses, the grant from the municipality will not be increased.
Če so dejanske izgube večje od pričakovanih izgub, se nepovratna sredstva občine ne bodo povečala.
Besides support in the form of a grant (Measure 1), the Commission has also initiated proceedings in respect of three other measures which may include aid.
Poleg podpore v obliki nepovratnih sredstev (ukrep 1) je Komisija sprožila tudi postopek v zvezi s tremi drugimi ukrepi, ki lahko vključujejo pomoč.
The second measure is the transfer free of charge to the construction companies of some plots of land belonging to the municipality (Measure 2).
Drugi ukrep je brezplačen prenos nekaterih delov zemljišča, ki pripadajo občini, na gradbena podjetja (ukrep 2).
According to the notification by the Dutch authorities, the plots of land were worth €233295, but the Commission did not receive any valuation report.
V skladu z uradnim obvestilom nizozemskih organov oblasti, so bili ti deli zemljišč vredni 233295 EUR, vendar Komisija ni prejela nobenega poročila o vrednotenju.
In addition, the municipality will be liable for 35 % of the costs that could result from claims for damages under Article 49 of the Regional Planning Law (Wet op de Ruimtelijke Ordening) after completion of the project (Measure 3).
Poleg tega bo občina odgovorna za 35 % stroškov, ki bi lahko nastali zaradi odškodninskih zahtevkov v skladu s členom 49 Zakona o prostorskem načrtovanju (Wet op de Ruimtelijke Ordening) po zaključku projekta (ukrep 3).
Liability for the remaining 65 % will rest with the construction companies.
Za preostalih 65 % odgovarjajo gradbena podjetja.
Finally, it was not clear whether the municipality will sell a plot of land and a building to the project developers at their book value or at their market value (Measure 4).
Ni pa bilo jasno, ali bo občina nosilcem projekta prodala del zemljišča in zgradbo po njuni knjigovodski vrednosti ali njuni tržni vrednosti (ukrep 4).
On completion of the project, the municipality will receive free of charge a number of plots of land that, according to the building permit, will be developed as public spaces.
Ob zaključku projekta bo občina brezplačno prejela več delov zemljišč, ki se bodo v skladu z gradbenim dovoljenjem razvijali kot javni prostori.
The notification did not provide a precise valuation of the plots concerned (Measure 2a).
Uradno obvestilo ni zagotovilo natančnega vrednotenja zadevnih delov zemljišč (ukrep 2a).
The beneficiaries of the aforementioned measures are the construction companies involved in the project.
Upravičenci zgoraj navedenih ukrepov so gradbena podjetja, ki so vključena v projekt.
The first direct beneficiary, Rabo Vastgoed B.V., belongs to a large group which is active at international level, mainly in the financial sector.
Prvi neposredni upravičenec, Rabo Vastgoed B. V., pripada veliki skupini, ki je dejavna na mednarodni ravni, zlasti v finančnem sektorju.
It is responsible for 25 % of the project.
Odgovoren je za 25 % projekta.
On the basis of the cooperation agreement, the second direct beneficiary is Centrum Haaksbergen B.V., which is the undertaking set up by five construction companies to carry out this project.
Na podlagi sporazuma o sodelovanju je drugi neposredni upravičenec Centrum Haaksbergen B. V., podjetje, ki ga je za izvajanje tega projekta ustanovilo pet gradbenih podjetij.
These five companies will perform all the construction operations entrusted to Centrum Haaksbergen B.V, which is therefore mainly an ad hoc legal vehicle without any ‘real’ economic activities of its own.
Zadevnih pet podjetij bo izvajalo vse gradbene dejavnosti, zaupane podjetju Centrum Haaksbergen B. V., ki bo tako predvsem priložnostni pravni nosilec brez kakršnih koli lastnih „dejanskih“ gospodarskih dejavnosti.
Accordingly, it can be concluded that the aid granted to Centrum Haaksbergen will be transferred to these five companies.
Skladno s tem je mogoče zaključiti, da se bo pomoč, dodeljena podjetju Centrum Haaksbergen, prenesla na teh pet podjetij.
According to the Dutch authorities, each of the companies is responsible for 15 % of the project.
Po navedbah nizozemskih organov je vsako od teh podjetij odgovorno za 15 % projekta.
The Netherlands has also indicated that RoTij Bouwontwikkeling Oost B.V. is active at national level, whereas the other four companies (Besathij B.V., Bouwbedrijf Assink Eibergen B.V., Bouwbedrijf Deeterink B.V. and Bouwburo Jan Scharenborg B.V.) are regional or local players.
Nizozemska je tudi navedla, da je podjetje RoTij Bouwontwikkeling Oost B. V. dejavno na nacionalni ravni, medtem ko so druga štiri podjetja (Besathij B. V., Bouwbedrijf Assink Eibergen B. V., Bouwbedrijf Deeterink B. V. in Bouwburo Jan Scharenborg B. V.) regionalni ali lokalni akterji.
Even if the beneficiaries are referred to as ‘construction’ companies in this decision, their activities are not limited to mere construction work.
Tudi če se v tej odločbi na upravičence sklicuje kot na „gradbena“ podjetja, pa njihove dejavnosti niso omejene samo na gradbena dela.
They cover the entire range of real estate project development.
Njihove dejavnosti pokrivajo celotno področje projektnega razvoja nepremičnin.
The relevant markets
Ustrezni trgi
The relevant markets concerned are the markets for the construction and sale of residential housing and the market for the construction and renting of commercial premises.
Zadevni ustrezni trgi so trgi za gradbeništvo in prodajo stanovanjskih objektov ter trg za gradbeništvo in oddajanje poslovnih prostorov v najem.
As Haaksbergen is located close to the German border, it is likely that certain Dutch and German suppliers and customers active on these markets also operate in the neighbouring country.
Ker je Haaksbergen v bližini nemške meje, je verjetno, da nekateri nizozemski in nemški dobavitelji, ki so dejavni na teh trgih, delujejo tudi v sosednji državi.
The Commission initiated the formal investigation procedure as it had doubts as to whether some measures that the municipal council was planning to implement did not constitute state aid and whether the aid could be considered compatible with the common market.
Komisija je sprožila formalni postopek preiskave, ker je dvomila o tem, da nekateri ukrepi, ki jih je občinski svet nameraval izvajati, pomenijo državno pomoč in da je mogoče pomoč šteti za združljivo s skupnim trgom.
Regarding the classification of the public measures as aid, the Commission indicated in particular that the ‘partial repayment provision’ conferred an advantage on the construction companies.
O uvrščanju javnih ukrepov med pomoč je Komisija zlasti navedla, da „določba o delnem povračilu“ daje gradbenim podjetjem prednost.
Regarding possible exemptions from the general prohibition on state aid in Article 87(1), the Commission first noted that the automatic exemptions provided for in Article 87(2)(b) and (c) were not applicable to the present aid measures.
V zvezi z možnimi izjemami od splošne prepovedi državne pomoči v členu 87(1) je Komisija najprej ugotovila, da se samodejne izjeme, predvidene v členu 87(2)(b) in (c), ne uporabljajo za sedanje ukrepe pomoči.
Nor could the aid be deemed under Article 87(2)(a) to support a project having a social character, among other things because the purchase of the newly built apartments is not reserved for disadvantaged persons.
Prav tako pomoči ne bi bilo v skladu s členom 87(2)(a) mogoče šteti za podporo projekta socialne narave, med drugim zato, ker nakup novozgrajenih stanovanj ni omejen na prikrajšane posameznike.
As regards the exemptions in Article 87(3), the Commission noted that the municipality of Haaksbergen is not located in an assisted area and does not therefore qualify for regional aid on the basis of Article 87(3)(a) and (c).
V zvezi z izjemami iz člena 87(3) je Komisija opozorila, da občina Haaksbergen ni na območju, ki prejema pomoč, ter da zato ne izpolnjuje pogojev za regionalno pomoč na podlagi člena 87(3)(a) in (c).
The derogation in Article 87(3)(b) is obviously not applicable.
Odstopanje iz člena 87(3)(b) se očitno ne uporablja.
The Commission has laid down various guidelines and frameworks setting out rules for aid that may be covered by the exemption provided for in Article 87(3)(c).
Komisija je določila različne smernice in okvire, ki določajo pravila za pomoč, ki je lahko predmet izjeme, predvidene v členu 87(3)(c).
None of these guidelines appear to apply in the present case.
Zdi se, da se v zadevnem primeru ne uporablja nobena od teh smernic.
The exemption for deprived urban areas was also considered.
Obravnavala se je tudi izjema za ogrožena mestna območja.
However, the project is not eligible for that exemption because, among other things, Haaksbergen is not an urban area within the meaning of the Commission notice.
Vendar pa projekt ne izpolnjuje pogojev za to izjemo, ker Haaksbergen med drugim ni mestno območje v smislu obvestila Komisije.
Logically, the area is not covered either by the European URBAN II programme.
Logično, območja ne pokriva niti evropski program URBAN II.
Finally, the cultural exemption in Article 87(3)(d) does not apply as this project consists in the construction of new buildings and not in the renovation of existing buildings or some other cultural purpose.
Izjema iz člena 87(3)(d), ki se nanaša na področje kulture, se ne uporablja, ker ta projekt vključuje gradnjo novih zgradb in ne obnove obstoječih zgradb ali kakšnega koli drugega kulturnega namena.
The Commission has received no comments from interested parties.
Komisija ni prejela nobenih pripomb od zainteresiranih strank.
In its response to the initiation of the formal investigation procedure, the Netherlands provided additional information on the transfer of plots of land free of charge by and to the municipality (Measure 2 and Measure 2a) respectively.
V svojem odgovoru glede sprožitve formalnega postopka preiskave je Nizozemska predložila dodatne informacije o brezplačnem prenosu delov zemljišč s strani občine oziroma na občino (ukrep 2 in ukrep 2a).
The transfer of plots of land free of charge to the construction companies (Measure 2) will represent a surface area of 674m2.
Brezplačen prenos delov zemljišč na gradbena podjetja (ukrep 2) bo predstavljal površino v velikosti 674 m2.
In turn, the municipality will receive 1077m2 (Measure 2a).
V zameno bo občina prejela 1077 m2 (ukrep 2a).
The Dutch authorities have provided an expert report according to which the value of the land concerned was €135 per m2.
Nizozemski organi so zagotovili strokovno poročilo, v skladu s katerim je bila vrednost zadevnega zemljišča 135 EUR za m2.
Regarding the sale to the construction companies of another plot of land and a building belonging to the municipality (Measure 4), the Dutch authorities have provided information showing that the transaction price was significantly above the price paid by the municipality for these properties a few years earlier.
O prodaji še enega dela zemljišča in zgradbe v lasti občine gradbenim podjetjem (ukrep 4) so nizozemski organi zagotovili informacije, iz katerih je razvidno, da je bila transakcijska cena bistveno višja od cene, ki jo je pred nekaj leti za ta zemljišča plačala občina.
Existence of aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty
Obstoj pomoči v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES
The five measures examined clearly involve state resources.
Pet preučenih ukrepov jasno vključuje državna sredstva.
The grant (Measure 1) is a direct transfer of municipal resources.
Nepovratna sredstva (ukrep 1) so neposredni prenos občinskih sredstev.
The transfer of ownership of plots of land and buildings modifies the total value of the assets owned by the municipality (Measures 2, 2a and 4).
Prenos lastništva delov zemljišč in zgradb spreminja skupno vrednost premoženja v lasti občine (ukrepi 2, 2a in 4).
Lastly, by granting a guarantee which involves a payment in the future and by not requesting the payment of an appropriate guarantee premium, Measure 3 also involves municipal resources.
Končno, zaradi dodelitve poroštva, ki vključuje plačilo v prihodnosti, in ker se ne zahteva plačilo ustrezne garancijske premije, ukrep 3 vključuje tudi občinska sredstva.
Benefit
Ugodnost
The grant from the municipality (Measure 1) confers a benefit on the companies since they receive funds which they would not have received on market conditions.
Nepovratna sredstva občine (ukrep 1) podjetjem zagotavljajo ugodnost, ker podjetja prejmejo sredstva, ki jih pod tržnimi pogoji ne bi prejela.
The transfer free of charge of land by the municipality (Measure 2) is compensated for by the transfer in the opposite direction of a larger surface area (Measure 2a), as stipulated in the same agreement.
Brezplačen prenos zemljišč s strani občine (ukrep 2) se nadomesti s prenosom večje površine v nasprotni smeri (ukrep 2a), kot je določeno v istem sporazumu.
