Regarding licence fees, it should first of all be pointed out that until 1997 TV2 received these resources direct from the TV2 Fund, which was set up and controlled by the State.
V zvezi z naročninami je treba najprej omeniti, da je TV2 do leta 1997 prejemala ta sredstva neposredno iz sklada TV2, ki ga je ustanovila in nadzorovala država.
After 1997 it received them from DR, which collects the fees from owners of radio and television sets.
prejema od leta 1997 ta sredstva od DR, ki jih pobira od lastnikov radijskih sprejemnikov in televizorjev.
It should be borne in mind here that, in accordance with the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities and with the settled practice of the Commission in its decisions, financial resources must be considered State resources if they are permanently under the control of the public authorities and therefore available to the competent public authorities.
V zvezi s tem je treba povedati, da se finančna sredstva v skladu z zakonodajo Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti in odločbami Komisije obravnavajo kot državna sredstva, kadar so stalno pod nadzorom organov oblasti in tako na razpolago pristojnim organom oblasti.
First, in the present case there is no contractual relationship between TV2 and the persons paying the licence fee.
Prvič, v tem primeru ni pravne pogodbe med TV2 in plačniki naročnin.
It is DR, which itself is a public institution under State control, which collects the licence fees from owners of radio and television sets and passes them on to TV2.
DR, ki je javna ustanova pod nadzorom države, pobira naročnine od lastnikov radijskih sprejemnikov in televizorjev ter jih preda TV2.
Second, TV2's share of the income from licence fees is determined by the Minister of Culture.
Drugič, minister za kulturo določi delež TV2 iz sredstev iz naročnin.
Thus, it is a public authority that ultimately decides on the amount of the licence fees to be allocated to TV2.
Torej je organ oblasti tisti, ki dokončno določi znesek naročnin, ki se dodeli TV2.
Third, if payment of the licence fee has to be enforced, it is again the State that intervenes under the rules on the collection of taxes and other public debts.
Tretjič, kadar je treba izterjati plačilo naročnin, je spet država tista, ki poseže vmes tako, da uporabi pravila za pobiranje davkov in drugih javnih dolgov.
For these reasons, the licence fee resources to be granted to TV2 are at all times subject to the control of the public authorities and thus must be considered State resources.
Iz teh razlogov so sredstva iz naročnin, ki se dodelijo TV2, ves čas predmet nadzora organov oblasti, zato se morajo obravnavati kot državna sredstva.
Despite the Danish authorities' contentions, the Commission considers that the present case cannot be compared with the PreussenElektra case.
Iz zgoraj navedenih razlogov Komisija meni, da ta primer ni primerljiv s primerom v PreussenElektra, kar je v nasprotju z izjavo danskih oblasti.
The ad hoc transfer of resources to TV2 from the Radio Fund also concerns licence fee revenue that was made available to TV2 in accordance with a State decision.
Ad-hoc transfer sredstev iz radijskega sklada na TV2 zadeva tudi prihodke iz naročnin, ki so bili na razpolago TV2, kakor je odredila država.
The same is true for the ad hoc transfer of resources from the TV2 Fund when it was wound up, as resources from the TV2 Fund were only made available to TV2 following a decision by the State.
Isto velja za ad-hoc transfer sredstev iz sklada TV2, ko je bil ukinjen, ker so bila sredstva iz sklada TV2 na razpolago izključno TV2, kakor je odredila država.
Since the resources remained under public control and available to the competent national authorities, they must be considered State resources.
Ker so sredstva ostala pod javnim nadzorom, torej na razpolago pristojnim organom oblasti, se morajo prav tako obravnavati kot državna sredstva.
Public resources are present in the corporation tax exemption, as forgoing tax revenue is equivalent to the consumption of State resources in the form of fiscal expenditure.
Javna sredstva so prisotna v oprostitvi od plačevanja davka od dobička pravnih oseb, saj je odrekanje davčnim prihodkom enakovredno porabi državnih sredstev v obliki davčnih izdatkov.
The loans granted to TV2 without servicing charges are directly provided by the State from the public budget.
Posojila z neplačevanjem obresti in obrokov v preiskavi, ki so se dodelila TV2, neposredno priskrbi država in jih dodeli iz javnega proračuna.
By waiving servicing charges the State forgoes income and therefore it is clear that these funds constitute State resources within the meaning of Article 87(1).
Z odrekanjem obrestim in obrokom za ta posojila se država odreka prihodku, zato je jasno, da ta sredstva predstavljajo državna sredstva v smislu člena 87(1).
Furthermore, it is the Danish State that guarantees the operating loans.
Poleg tega je danska država tista, ki jamči za posojila za poslovanje.
The advantage of a State guarantee is that the risk is borne by the State.
Ugodnost državnega poroštva je ta, da tveganje, povezano s poroštvom, nosi država.
The State's undertaking of the risk should normally be compensated by an appropriate premium.
Državni prevzem tveganja se navadno poplača z ustrezno premijo.
Where the State forgoes such a premium there is both an advantage for TV2 and a drain on State resources.
Kadar se država odreče takšni premiji, je to ugodnost za TV2 kot tudi odliv državnih sredstev.
The State has reserved a nationwide transmission frequency for TV2, for which the operator pays a frequency fee to a state body.
Država je rezervirala oddajno frekvenco s pokritjem celotne države za TV2, za katero plačuje pristojbino za frekvenco državnemu organu.
The annual fee that TV2 paid has fluctuated between DKK 2 million and DKK 4 million during the period under investigation.
Letna pristojbina, ki jo je plačala TV2, se je v preiskovanem obdobju gibala med 2 in 4 milijoni DKK.
In the absence of a basis for comparing the fee paid for the national frequency, that fee can only be compared to the fee paid for the permit to reach a larger share of the population through the establishment of a network.
Zaradi pomanjkanja primerjalne osnove za pristojbino, ki se je plačala za frekvenco s pokritjem celotne države, se pristojbina lahko primerja samo s pristojbino, ki se je plačala za dovoljenje za dostop do večjega deleža prebivalstva prek omrežja.
TV2's frequency fee for nationwide coverage is significantly lower than the networking fee payable by TvDanmark, which varied between DKK 5 million in 1997 and DKK 30 million in 2001, although TvDanmarks' network of regional frequencies only attains a coverage rate of 77 %.
Pristojbina za frekvenco TV2 za pokritje celotne države je bistveno nižja od omrežne pristojbine, ki se je zaračunala TvDanmark in se je gibala med 5 milijoni DKK leta 1997 in 30 milijoni DKK leta 2001, in to kljub temu, da znaša stopnja prodora omrežja regionalnih frekvenc TvDanmark samo 77 %.
Thus TV2 has been able to reach a larger share of the Danish population at a lower cost.
je torej lahko dosegla večji delež danskih prebivalcev po nižji ceni.
The Commission is therefore of the opinion that the frequency fee does not reflect market conditions.
Zato Komisija meni, da pristojbina za frekvenco ne odraža tržnih pogojev.
By not asking for a market rate for the asset the State has forgone revenue that would have accrued to the State budget.
S tem ko se ne zahteva tržna cena za to premoženje, se je država odrekla prihodku, ki bi bil v interesu državnega proračuna.
In contrast, as TV2 does not broadcast over local networks, it does not incur the networking fee.
Ker pa TV2 ne oddaja prek omrežja lokalnih frekvenc, da bi ustvarila nacionalno omrežje, ni dolžna plačevati pristojbine za omrežje.
As the State could not have legally collected this fee from TV2 it did not forgo tax revenue falling to the State budget and hence no State resources are involved.
Ker država ni mogla po zakonu pobrati te pristojbine od TV2, se ni odrekla prihodku, ki bi bil v interesu državnega proračuna, zato ne moremo govoriti o vpletenosti državnih sredstev.
The favouring of certain undertakings and distortion of competition
Favoriziranje nekaterih podjetij in izkrivljanje konkurence
There is no doubt that the licence fee revenue, the ad hoc transfers from TV2 Fund and Radio Fund, the exemption from corporation tax, the exemption from servicing charges for loans, the State guarantee for the operating loans and access to a nationwide frequency on favourable terms provide an economic and financial advantage to TV2 relieving it of operating costs that would normally have to be borne by its budget.
Ni dvoma, da prihodki iz naročnin, ad-hoc transferji iz sklada TV2 in radijskega sklada, oprostitev od plačevanja davka od dobička pravnih oseb, posojila z neplačevanjem obresti in obrokov ter državno poroštvo za posojila za poslovanje in dostop do frekvence s pokritjem celotne države pod ugodnejšimi pogoji dajejo TV2 gospodarsko in finančno prednost, ker jo razbremenjujejo stroškov poslovanja, ki bi običajno bremenili njen proračun.
As TV2 is favoured by these measures compared to its competitors not receiving the same funds, these measures must be regarded as selective and as distorting competition within the meaning of Article 87(1) EC.
Ker ima TV2 zaradi teh ukrepov ugodnosti v primerjavi s svojimi konkurenti, ki ne prejemajo enakih sredstev, je treba te ukrepe obravnavati kot selektivne in takšne, ki izkrivljajo konkurenco v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
However, Denmark has argued that these measures compensate TV2 for the net cost incurred in discharging the task in the general interest entrusted to it according to the principles established by the Court of Justice in the Altmark case.
Danska pa trdi, da so ti ukrepi nadomestilo za neto stroške TV2, nastale pri opravljanju splošnih storitev, torej naloge, za katero je bila pooblaščena na podlagi načel, ki jih je določilo Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti v zadevi Altmark.
State measures compensating the net additional costs of a service of general economic interest (SGEI) do not qualify as State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty if the compensation is determined in such a way that it does not confer any real advantage on the undertaking.
Državni ukrepi, ki so nadomestilo za neto dodatne stroške storitve, ki so splošnega gospodarskega interesa, niso državna pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES, če se nadomestilo določi na takšen način, da preprečuje postavljanje podjetja v dejansko prednost.
In Altmark, the Court of Justice ruled that to this end four conditions must be fulfilled:
V sodbi Altmark je Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti navedlo, da morajo biti v ta namen izpolnjeni štirje pogoji:
first, the recipient undertaking must actually have public service obligations to discharge and the obligations must be clearly defined,
prvič, od podjetja prejemnika je treba dejansko zahtevati, da poravna obveznosti iz izvajanja javnih storitev, in te obveznosti se morajo jasno opredeliti,
second, the parameters on the basis of which the compensation must be established in advance in an objective and transparent manner,
drugič, parametri, na podlagi katerih se izračuna nadomestilo, se morajo določiti vnaprej na objektiven in transparenten način,
third, the compensation cannot exceed what is necessary to cover all or part of the costs incurred in discharging the public service obligations, taking into account the relevant receipts and a reasonable profit for discharging those obligations,
tretjič, nadomestilo ne sme presegati, kar je potrebno, da se pokrijejo vsi ali del stroškov, nastalih pri poravnavanju obveznosti iz izvajanja javnih storitev, ob upoštevanju zadevnih prihodkov in sprejemljivega dobička za poravnavo teh obveznosti,
fourth, where the undertaking which is to discharge public service obligations is not chosen in a public procurement procedure, the level of compensation needed has been determined on the basis of an analysis of the costs which a typical undertaking, well run and adequately provided with means of production so as to be able to meet the necessary public service requirements, would have incurred in discharging those obligations, taking into account the relevant receipts and a reasonable profit for discharging the obligations.
četrtič, kadar podjetje, ki mora poravnati obveznosti iz izvajanja javnih storitev, ni izbrano po postopku javnih naročil, se mora stopnja potrebnega nadomestila določiti na podlagi analize stroškov, ki bi jih tipično podjetje, dobro vodeno in ustrezno preskrbljeno s produkcijskimi sredstvi, da lahko izpolnjuje nujne zahteve javnih storitev, imelo s poravnavo teh obveznosti, ob upoštevanju zadevnih prihodkov in sprejemljivega dobička za poravnavo obveznosti.
Leaving aside for the moment whether TV2 is an undertaking entrusted with the discharge of public service obligations, the Commission is of the opinion that, in the present case at least, the second and the fourth conditions set out above are not fulfilled.
Če za trenutek odmislimo, ali je TV2 podjetje, ki je pooblaščeno za ponudbo storitev splošnega gospodarskega interesa, je Komisija mnenja, da v tem primeru nista izpolnjena vsaj drugi in četrti od zgoraj naštetih pogojev.
First, the parameters on the basis of which the compensation is calculated are not established in advance in an objective and transparent manner.
Prvič, parametri, na podlagi katerih se izračuna nadomestilo, niso določeni vnaprej na objektiven in transparenten način.
The compensation is determined in a media agreement set for four years, whereas there is no publicly available annual budget establishing a link between compensation and output.
Nadomestilo je določeno v sporazumu o sredstvih javnega obveščanja, ki velja štiri leta, medtem ko ni javno razpoložljivega letnega proračuna, ki določa povezavo med nadomestilom in storitvijo.
Furthermore, TV2 receives a number of advantages that are not transparent (tax exemption, interest waiver, etc.).
Poleg tega ima TV2 številne ugodnosti, ki niso transparentne (oprostitev od plačevanja davka, oprostitev od plačevanja obresti itn.).
Second, TV2 has not been chosen as the public service broadcasting provider on the basis of a tender, nor has any analysis been carried out to ensure that the level of compensation is determined on an analysis of the costs which a typical undertaking, well run and adequately provided with the appropriate means of production so as to be able to meet the necessary public service requirements, would have incurred in discharging those obligations, taking into account the relevant receipts and a reasonable profit for discharging the obligations.
Drugič, TV2 ni bila izbrana za izvajalca storitev javne radiotelevizije na podlagi razpisa in opravljena ni bila nobena analiza, ki bi zagotovila, da se stopnja nadomestila določi na podlagi analize stroškov, ki bi jih tipično podjetje, dobro vodeno in ustrezno preskrbljeno z ustreznimi proizvodnimi sredstvi, da bi izpolnjevalo nujne zahteve javnih storitev, imelo s poravnavo teh obveznosti, ob upoštevanju zadevnih prihodkov in sprejemljivega dobička za poravnavo obveznosti.
As described in recitals 10 to 12, TV2 competes with other public and private broadcasters in the television broadcasting market.
Kakor je opisano v uvodnih izjavah (10)–(12), TV2 konkurira drugim javnim in zasebnim radijskim in televizijskim postajam na trgu za radijske in televizijske dejavnosti.
Since it is favoured by the measures compared to its competitors who do not receive the same funds, these measures must be regarded as selective and as distorting competition within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Ker ima TV2 zaradi teh ukrepov v primerjavi s svojimi konkurenti, ki ne prejemajo enakih sredstev, ugodnosti, je treba te ukrepe obravnavati kot selektivne in takšne, ki izkrivljajo konkurenco v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
State measures are caught by Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty in so far as they affect trade between Member States.
Državne ukrepe ureja določba člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES, če vplivajo na trgovino med državami članicami.
This is the case whenever the such activities involve intra-Community trade.
To velja za vse primere, ko so zadevne dejavnosti predmet trgovine v Skupnosti.
The Court of Justice has developed a wide interpretation of this concept.
Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti je pripravilo široko razlago tega pojma.
Thus, the fact that the undertaking in question does not engage in exports does not exclude that trade may be affected.
Dejstvo, da se zadevno podjetje ne ukvarja z izvozom, torej ne izključuje možnosti vplivanja na trgovino.
In fact, when a Member State grants aid to an undertaking, domestic business may be maintained or even increased due to the aid, which in turn reduces other undertakings' opportunities to establish themselves on the market.
Kadar država članica dodeli podjetju pomoč, se notranje dejavnosti zaradi te pomoči lahko ohranijo ali celo povečajo, s tem pa se za druga podjetja zmanjšajo možnosti, da bi se uveljavila na trgu.
The aid consequently allows the recipient to maintain a share of the market that could otherwise have been acquired by competitors from other Member States.
Pomoč torej prejemniku omogoča, da obdrži delež na trgu, ki bi ga sicer lahko prevzeli konkurenti v drugih državah članicah.
In the Broadcasting Communication, the Commission, referring to the Court's case-law, laid down that the ‘State financing of public service broadcasters can generally be considered to affect trade between Member States.
V Sporočilu o oddajanju, kadar se nanašamo na sodno prakso Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti, je Komisija izjavila, „za državno financiranje javnih radijskih in televizijskih postaj se na splošno lahko šteje, da vpliva na trgovino med državami članicami.
This is clearly the position as regards the acquisition and sale of programme rights, which often takes place at international level.
To je jasno predvsem za nakup in prodajo programskih pravic, kar se pogosto dogaja na mednarodni ravni.
In the case of public broadcasters who are allowed to sell advertising space, advertising too has a cross-border effect, especially for homogenous linguistic areas across national boundaries.
Tudi oglaševanje, v primeru javnih radijskih in televizijskih postaj, ki imajo dovoljenje za prodajo oglaševalskega prostora, učinkuje prek meja, predvsem pri homogenih jezikovnih področjih prek nacionalnih meja.
Moreover, the ownership structure of commercial broadcasters may extend to more than one Member State’.
Poleg tega lahko lastniška struktura radijskih in televizijskih postaj posega v več kakor eno državo članico“.
In the case at hand, TV2 itself operates on the international market in that it exchanges television programmes through the European Broadcasting Union and participates in the Eurovision system.
V tem primeru je TV2 sama dejavna na mednarodnem trgu, ker si izmenjuje televizijske programe prek Evropske zveze za radiodifuzijo in sodeluje v evrovizijskem sistemu.
It is in direct competition with commercial broadcasters that are active on the international broadcasting market and have international ownership.
neposredno konkurira komercialnim radijskim in televizijskim postajam, ki so dejavne na mednarodnem trgu za radijske in televizijske dejavnosti ter imajo mednarodno lastniško strukturo.
According to the judgments of the Court of Justice, when aid strengthens the position of an undertaking compared with other undertakings competing in intra-Community trade the latter must be regarded as affected by that aid.
Na podlagi sodne prakse Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti, kadar pomoč krepi položaj podjetja v primerjavi z drugimi podjetji, ki konkurirajo v trgovini v Skupnosti, je treba izhajati iz dejstva, da na slednjo vpliva omenjena pomoč.
The financial means made available to TV2 have given it a competitive advantage in the acquisition of audiovisual rights and the investment in programmes that can subsequently be sold.
je s finančnimi sredstvi, ki jih je dobila na razpolago, dobila tudi konkurenčno prednost za nakup televizijskih pravic in za naložbe v programe, ki se lahko naknadno prodajo.
Moreover, the aid measures have placed TV2 in a favourable situation compared to its competitors within the European Union by diminishing their opportunities for establishing themselves in Denmark.
Poleg tega so ukrepi pomoči postavili TV2 v ugoden položaj v primerjavi z njenimi konkurenti v Evropski uniji, saj so zmanjšali njihove možnosti uveljavitve na Danskem.
The Commission therefore concludes that the measures benefiting TV2 affect trade between Member States within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Komisija zato sklepa, da ukrepi, dodeljeni TV2, vplivajo na trgovino med državami članicami v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
Since all the conditions in Article 87(1) are fulfilled and at least two of the conditions set out by the Court of Justice in Altmark have not been met, the Commission concludes that the financial measures benefiting TV2 must be considered State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1).
Ker so izpolnjeni vsi pogoji člena 87(1) in ker vsaj dva od pogojev, ki jih je določilo Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti v sodbi Altmark, nista izpolnjena, Komisija sklepa, da so finančni ukrepi, dodeljeni TV2, državna pomoč v smislu člena 87(1).
Since TV2 started broadcasting in 1989, all the measures in question have been awarded to TV2 after Denmark's accession to the European Union.
Ker je TV2 začela oddajati leta 1989, so bili vsi ukrepi dodeljeni TV2 po pristopu Danske k Evropski skupnosti.
For this reason, the measures, including the licence fee, constitute new State aid and not existing aid within the meaning of Article 88(1) of the EC Treaty.
Zato vsi ukrepi, vključno z naročninami, predstavljajo novo državno pomoč in ne obstoječe državne pomoči v smislu člena 88(1) Pogodbe ES.
Compatibility of the aid with the common market pursuant to Article 86(2) of the EC Treaty
Združljivost pomoči na podlagi člena 86(2) Pogodbe ES
According to Article 86(2) of the EC Treaty ‘undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest or having the character of a revenue-producing monopoly shall be subject to the rules contained in this Treaty, in particular to the rules on competition, in so far as the application of such rules does not obstruct the performance, in law or in fact, of the particular tasks assigned to them.
V skladu s členom 86(2) Pogodbe ES „za podjetja, ki so pooblaščena za izvajanje storitev splošnega gospodarskega interesa ali ki imajo značaj dohodkovnega monopola, veljajo predpisi iz te pogodbe, zlasti predpisi o konkurenci, če uporaba takih predpisov ne ovira izvajanja, de jure ali de facto, dodeljenih nalog.
The development of trade must not be affected to such an extent as would be contrary to the interests of the Community’.
Razvoj trgovine ne sme biti prizadet v tolikšni meri, da bi to bilo v nasprotju z interesi Skupnosti“.
The Court of Justice has consistently held that Article 86 of the EC Treaty authorises derogations from the ban on State aid for undertakings entrusted with services of general economic interest.
Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti je bilo dosledno mnenja, da člen 86 Pogodbe ES lahko določa pooblastilo za izjemo od prepovedi izdajanja državne pomoči podjetjem, ki so pooblaščena za izvajanje storitev splošnega gospodarskega interesa.
The Court's judgment in Altmark has implicitly confirmed that State aid that compensates the costs incurred by an undertaking for the provision of services of general economic interest can be found to be compatible with the common market if it meets the conditions of Article 86(2) of the EC Treaty.
Razsodba Altmark je implicitno potrdila, da se državna pomoč, ki izravnava stroške, nastale v podjetju zaradi izvajanja storitev splošnega gospodarskega interesa, lahko šteje za združljivo s skupnim trgom, če izpolnjuje pogoje člena 86(2) Pogodbe ES.
In line with settled case‐law of the Court of Justice, Article 86 of the EC Treaty constitutes a derogation that should be interpreted restrictively.
V skladu z določeno sodno prakso Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti člen 86 Pogodbe ES predstavlja izjemo, ki bi jo morali razlagati z omejitvami.
