Under the second scheme the eligible undertakings benefit from a fiscal advantage in the form of a tax credit for investments, thereby relieving the beneficiaries from fiscal charges that they would normally have to incur [33].
Na podlagi druge sheme pa so pripuščena podjetja deležna davčne ugodnosti, ki se odobri v obliki davčnega dobropisa in upravičence razbremeni davčnih bremen, ki bi jih sicer morali nositi [33].
Trade affectation between Member States and distortion of competition
Vpliv na trgovino znotraj Skupnosti in izkrivljanje konkurence:
The Commission notes that competition rules generally apply to all economic activities involving trade between Member States and that the production of publishing products can be considered as an economic activity.
Komisija poudarja, da se pravila o konkurenci običajno uporabljajo za vse gospodarske dejavnosti, ki pomenijo trgovino med državami članicami, in da je založniško dejavnost mogoče šteti kot gospodarsko dejavnost.
The issue is whether aid to this activity really or potentially affects trade between Member States, given the alleged domestic and thus internal nature of the Italian market for publishing products in the Italian language.
Potrebno je ugotoviti, ali pomoč tej dejavnosti dejansko ali potencialno vpliva na trgovino med državami članicami, ob upoštevanju zagotovljenega nacionalnega, torej notranjega značaja italijanskega trga založniških proizvodov v italijanskem jeziku.
It can be noted that the publishing market includes the market for royalties, advertising, printing and distribution.
Potrebno je opozoriti, da založniški trg zajema trg pravic, oglaševanja, tiskanja in distribucije.
Aid to a publisher may affect one or the other of those activities.
Pomoč založniku lahko vpliva na katero koli izmed naštetih dejavnosti.
Further, on the basis of the information submitted by the Italian authorities, the Commission notes that there is trade between Member States in the publishing products concerned by the aid measures under review [34].
Poleg tega na podlagi podatkov, ki so jih posredovali italijanski pristojni organi, Komisija ugotavlja, da na področju založniških proizvodov, za katere veljajo obravnavani ukrepi pomoči, obstaja trgovina med državami članicami [34].
Thus, the aid measures under review could distort competition between firms inasmuch as, for instance, publishing firms can pursue their activity in different Member States, producing publications in different languages and competing for publishing rights and advertising.
Zato bi lahko taki ukrepi izkrivili konkurenco med podjetji, če bi podjetja denimo svojo dejavnost opravljala v različnih državah članicah in proizvajala publikacije v različnih jezikih in bi torej konkurirala glede založniških pravic in oglaševanja.
The Commission acknowledges the information and clarifications submitted by the Italian authorities documenting the fact that the amount of intra-EU trade, in the publishing products in Italian language concerned by the two measures under review, is limited.
Komisija priznava, da podatki in pojasnila italijanskih pristojnih organov potrjujejo omejen obseg trgovine znotraj Skupnosti na področju založniških proizvodov v italijanskem jeziku, na katere se nanašata oba obravnavana ukrepa.
Notwithstanding the above consideration, in light of the foregoing, the Commission considers that, however limited, the effect on trade of the measures under review cannot be excluded.
Kljub taki ugotovitvi Komisija glede na zgoraj navedeno meni, da vpliva obravnavanih ukrepov na trgovino ni mogoče izključiti, četudi bi bil omejen.
Hence, the two schemes under review constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Zato obravnavani shemi štejeta za državno pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
In those cases where the measures constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty, it is foreseen that aid which fulfils the conditions set forth respectively in Article 87(2) and Article 87(3) of the EC treaty shall be compatible or may be deemed compatible with the common market.
Če so ukrepi državna pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES, Pogodba določa, da so združljivi ali da je mogoče šteti za združljive s skupnim trgom tiste ukrepe pomoči, ki izpolnjujejo pogoje iz člena 87(2) in (3) Pogodbe ES.
The Commission notes that the conditions foreseen in Article 87(2), Article 87(3)(a) and Article 87(3)(b) of the EC Treaty are evidently not applicable to the measures at hand.
Komisija opaža, da pogojev iz člena 87(2), člena 87(3)(a) in člena 87(3)(b) Pogodbe ES očitno ni mogoče uporabiti za zadevne ukrepe.
Further to the opening, additional information and clarifications were submitted by the Italian authorities and comments were received from interested parties.
Po začetku postopka je Komisija od italijanskih pristojnih organov prejela nadaljnje podatke in pojasnila ter pripombe tretjih zainteresiranih strank.
On the basis of the above, it appears that intra-EU trade in publishing products in the Italian language is limited and the measures could be deemed to be compatible under Article 87(3)(c) or Article 87(3)(d) of the EC Treaty.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega izhaja, da je trgovina z založniškimi proizvodi v italijanskem jeziku znotraj Skupnosti omejena in da bi bilo ukrepe mogoče šteti za združljive v smislu člena 87(3)(c) ali (3)(d) Pogodbe.
Compatibility ex Article 87(3)(d) of the EC Treaty
Združljivost v skladu s členom 87(3)(d) Pogodbe ES
Concerning the compatibility of the measures pursuant to Article 87(3)(d), the Commission does not concur with the assessment made by the Italian authorities, and is of the opinion that the cultural derogation is not applicable to the aid schemes in point.
Glede združljivosti obravnavanih ukrepov v smislu člena 87(3)(d), Komisija ne soglaša z oceno italijanskih pristojnih organov in meni, da za zadevne sheme pomoči ni mogoče uporabiti kulturne izjeme.
In fact, although Article 151 of the EC Treaty [35] indeed foresees that the Community should contribute to cultural diversity, under the terms of Article 8 of Law 62/2001 no dispositions have been outlined concerning the appropriation of funds for the explicit promotion of culture but rather the funds are entirely used for the more general support of investment by undertakings producing publishing products in the Italian language.
Kljub temu, da člen 151 Pogodbe ES [35] določa, da Komisija prispeva h kulturni raznolikosti, v smislu člena 8 Zakona št. 62 niso bila navedena določila, ki zadevajo nakazilo sredstev za izrecno pospeševanje kulture, nasprotno, sredstva se v celoti bolj splošno uporabijo za podporo vlaganj podjetij, ki proizvajajo založniške proizvode v italijanskem jeziku.
Concerning the interest subsidy measure, pursuant to the terms [36] of Article 5 of Law 62/2001, only 5 % of the total funds available under the interest subsidy scheme under examination are explicitly set aside ‘for undertakings involved in projects of specific relevance for the diffusion of readership in Italy or the for the diffusion of publishing products in Italian abroad’.
Glede ukrepa pomoči v obliki obrestne subvencije [36] v skladu s členom 5 Zakona št. 62/2001, je samo delež v višini 5 % razpoložljivih sredstev za kreditne olajšave izrecno namenjen podjetjem, ki so vključena „v projekte posebnega pomena za razširjanje literature v Italiji in za razširjanje založniških proizvodov v italijanskem jeziku v tujini“.
Further, the Commission notes that in the event that the above 5 % share is not utilised for the original purpose, it can be reallocated to fund the other actions contemplated by the measures under review. The latter include, inter alia, aid for training and for investment.
Poleg tega Komisija ugotavlja, da bi se ta 5 % delež, če ne bi bil uporabljen za prvotne namene, lahko ponovno stekal v sklad za financiranje drugih dejanj, ki so navedena v obravnavanih ukrepih in med drugim zajemajo pomoč pri izobraževanju in pomoč pri investicijah.
Further, the eligible publications in the Italian language include newspapers, magazines, periodicals, books and multimedia products.
Poleg tega pa publikacije v italijanskem jeziku, ki se subvencionirajo, zajemajo dnevnike, revije, periodični tisk, knjige in multimedijske proizvode.
However, the Commission notes that the two schemes contain no specifications concerning the allocation of resources to the individual types of publications, concerning the content of the eligible publishing products, or any mention concerning the cultural values to be contained or promoted [37].
Kljub temu Komisija ugotavlja, da obravnavani shemi ne vsebujeta nikakršne specifične navedbe glede dodelitve sredstev posameznim vrstam publikacij, vsebine pripuščenih založniških proizvodov in ne navajajo kulturnih vrednot, ki jih je potrebno ohranjati ali pospeševati [37].
By the same token, it can be noted that the Italian language appears to be the common denominator of the two schemes.
Podobno je mogoče opaziti, da je skupni imenovalec obeh shem italijanski jezik.
Nonetheless, despite the fact that those measures might as a last resort ultimately favour learning or the diffusion of the Italian language and culture, given the absence of any pedagogical or language learning specifications or focus in the measures, considering them as culture-based measures would imply giving an unduly broad meaning to culture.
Čeprav bi zadevni ukrepi v zadnji analizi lahko podpirali učenje in razširjanje italijanskega jezika pa, glede na to, da v zadevnih ukrepih ni nobenih specifičnih navedb pedagoškega značaja ali navedb v zvezi z jezikovnim učenjem, bi njihovo upoštevanje za ukrepe, temelječe na kulturi, pomenilo, da se kulturi pripisuje neupravičeno širok pomen.
Moreover, in response to the Italian authorities’ argument tying the promotion of culture and that of the promotion of information pluralism foreseen by the measures under review, the Commission has already stated in past decisions [38] that the educational and democratic needs of a Member State have to be regarded as distinct from the promotion of culture.
V odgovor na obrazložitev italijanskih pristojnih organov, ki pospeševanje kulture združujejo s pluralnostjo informacij, ki jo določajo obravnavani ukrepi, je Komisija že v prejšnjih odločbah [38] izjavila, da je izobraževalne in demokratične potrebe neke države potrebno ločevati od pospeševanja kulture.
Thus, given the breadth of the scope of the measures under review and of the very generic description of the eligible publications, the measures under examination would appear to primarily aim at fostering the diffusion of publishing products in the Italian language, which is the common denominator of the two schemes, rather than promoting the Italian culture and language.
Glede na obsežnost obravnavanih ukrepov in ob upoštevanju izredno posplošenega opisa publikacij, ki se subvencionirajo, se obravnavani ukrepi v prvi vrsti zdijo namenjeni pospeševanju razširjanja založniških proizvodov v italijanskem jeziku, jeziku, ki je skupni imenovalec obeh shem, in ne pospeševanju italijanske kulture in jezika.
In light of the foregoing, the Commission is of the opinion that the measures under review do not satisfy the restrictive interpretation warranted for the application of the provision set forth at Article 87(3)(d) and outlined in the Communication on State aid to public service broadcasting [39].
Ob upoštevanju navedenega Komisija meni, da obravnavani ukrepi ne izpolnjujejo restriktivnega tolmačenja, ki se zahteva za izvajanje določila iz člena 87(3)(d) in ki je bilo razglašeno v sporočilu o državni pomoči javnim storitvam radiodifuzije [39].
Further, accepting the culture derogation would also run counter to the Commission's interpretation outlined in the relevant case-law [40].
Poleg tega pa bi bilo sprejetje kulturne izjeme v nasprotju s tolmačenjem Komisije, ki je že bilo pojasnjeno v prejšnjih odločbah [40].
Compatibility ex Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty
Združljivost v skladu s členom 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES:
Pursuant to the planned objectives, the measures under review would ultimately aim at promoting the diffusion of publishing products in the Italian language and at contributing to the preservation of the information pluralism, whilst public intervention would appear to be needed to reverse a consolidated declining trend in the diffusion of publishing products on the domestic market.
V skladu z določenimi cilji naj bi bil končni cilj obravnavanih ukrepov pospeševanje založniških proizvodov v italijanskem jeziku in ohranjanje pluralnosti informiranja, potreben pa se zdi javni ukrep, ki bi obrnil padajočo smer gibanja strukturalne narave založniških proizvodov na nacionalnem trgu.
The Commission acknowledges that there are no frameworks or guidelines which can be applied to assess measures such as those under review.
Komisija priznava, da za vrednotenje tipologije ukrepov ni nikakršnih pravilnikov ali smernic, ki bi jih bilo mogoče uporabiti.
Hence, no other specific compatibility clause seems to be applicable to the notified schemes as currently specified apart from the always possible general application of Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty. The latter provides that, ‘aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest, may be considered to be compatible with the common market’.
Zato ne kaže, da bi se za priglašene sheme, tako, kot so sedaj opisane, lahko uporabila katera izmed klavzul o združljivosti, ne glede na splošno izvajanje člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES, ki jo je vselej mogoče uporabljati, na podlagi katere je za pomoč, združljivo s skupnim trgom, mogoče šteti „pomoč za pospeševanje razvoja določenih gospodarskih dejavnosti ali določenih gospodarskih območij, kadar takšna pomoč ne spreminja trgovinskih pogojev v obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju s skupnimi interesi“.
As established in the CELF judgment, the Commission notes that linguistic and cultural barriers limiting competition and cross-border trade between Member States in the book sector would appear to exist.
Kot je določeno v sodbi CELF, Komisija poudarja, da se zdi, da na knjižnem področju obstajajo jezikovne in kulturne ovire, ki omejujejo konkurenco in čezmejno trgovino med državami članicami.
Similarly, it would seem that ‘the European sector of typography and publishing continues to be more a juxtaposition of national markets than an integrated market at the European level, as indicated by the share of exports in the sector as percentage of turnover.
Enako bi se lahko zdelo, da „je evropski tiskarski in založniški sektor še vedno bolj nekakšna jukstapozicija nacionalnih trgov kot pa združen trg v evropskem merilu, kar dokazuje nizka izvozna stopnja na tem sektorju glede na promet.
The multitude of languages spoken inside the Community constitutes an additional barrier to the ‘Europeanisation’ of the sector’ [41].
Številnost govorjenih jezikov znotraj Skupnosti je še dodatna ovira za ‚evropeizacijo‘ tega sektorja“ [41].
Nonetheless, with regards to both books and the other publishing products concerned by the aid measures at hand, it should be emphasised that the existence of the abovementioned limitations is underpinned by the statistical data submitted by Italy which documents the limited incidence of cross-border trade in the EU in the relevant products.
Toda glede knjig in drugih založniških proizvodov, ki jih zadevajo obravnavani ukrepi, je potrebno poudariti, da obstoj navedenih omejitev potrjujejo statistični podatki, ki jih je posredovala Italija, ti pa dokazujejo omejen vpliv na čezmejno trgovino zadevnih proizvodov v ES.
In addition, since the aid is primarily aimed at publications in the Italian language, it is unlikely that publications in another language would be real substitutes and in turn that subscribers and/or advertisers would switch between them due to the subsidy.
Ker je pomoč v glavnem namenjena publikacijam v italijanskem jeziku, ni verjetno, da bi publikacije v kakem drugem jeziku pomenile dejanske substitute in da bi subvencije povzročile prenos naročnin in oglaševanja v njihovo korist.
It would thus seem that the distortion of intra-EU trade and competition is likely to be very limited.
Zdi se torej, da je izkrivljanje trgovine znotraj Skupnosti in konkurence zelo omejeno.
Further, the Community interest is also ensured by the eligibility and equal treatment of applicants based in other Member States.
Poleg tega pa je interes Skupnosti zagotoviti enako obravnavanje vlog za pomoč, ki jih predložijo kandidati s sedežem v drugih državah članicah.
Furthermore, the stated aim of the aid is to preserve information pluralism, which is an objective enshrined in Article 11 paragraph 2 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union [42].
Sicer pa je deklariran cilj pomoči ohranjanje pluralnosti informacij, to pa je cilj, ki ga določa člen 11(2) Listine Evropske unije o temeljnih pravicah [42].
Finally, the evaluation concerning the potentially limited trade and competition distortion of the measures under review and, in particular, their proportionality to the stated objectives is also underpinned by the combination of factors including: the duration of the schemes, which are of five and 10 years; the high number of beneficiaries, which is expected to reach 500 undertakings for each measure; and the overall limited funds available, which amount to a grand total of about EUR 179,3 million, for the entire period.
In nenazadnje, oceno o potencialno omejenem izkrivljanju trgovine in konkurence, ki bi ga povzročili obravnavani ukrepi, zlasti glede na njihovo sorazmernost z deklariranimi cilji, potrjujejo tudi naslednja dejstva: trajanje shem za dobo 5–10 let; veliko število predvidenih upravičencev, ki dosega število 500 podjetij za vsak ukrep; omejena višina razpoložljivih sredstev, ki skupno znašajo približno 179,3 milijona EUR za celotno obdobje.
In the light of the foregoing, the Commission has found that the measures under review constitute State aid in the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega je Komisija ugotovila, da so obravnavani ukrepi državna pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
The factual and statistical information submitted by the Italian authorities has documented the likely limited effect on trade of the measures under review.
Konkretne informacije in statistični podatki, ki so jih predložili italijanski pristojni organi, so potrdili verjetno omejen vpliv obravnavanih ukrepov na trgovino.
The limited distortion of trade and competition, and the proportionality of the measures to the objective of promoting publishing products in the Italian language are underpinned by the duration of the schemes, the large number of beneficiaries, and the overall limited funds available,
Omejeno izkrivljanje trgovine in konkurence, sorazmernost ukrepov z zasledovanimi cilji oziroma pospeševanje založniških proizvodov v italijanskem jeziku potrjujejo: trajanje shem, veliko število upravičencev in omejena skupna vrednost razpoložljivih sredstev –
The State aid measure in the form of interest subsidy in favour of undertakings active in the publishing sector and the State aid measure in the form of tax credit in favour of undertakings producing publishing products are compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty.
Pomoč, ki jo je dodelila Italija v obliki obrestne subvencije podjetjem, delujočih na založniškem področju, ter v obliki davčnih dobropisov podjetjem, ki proizvajajo založniške proizvode, je združljiva s skupnim trgom v smislu člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES.
Annual reports containing detailed information of the application of each measure shall be submitted to the Commission.
Komisiji se posredujejo letna poročila s podrobnimi podatki o izvajanju vsakega ukrepa.
The information reported should include: a summary of the application of the respective measures during the calendar year; a list and description of the eligible projects aided, the publishing products supported, the amounts granted per project, and the identity of the beneficiaries.
Ta poročila zlasti vsebujejo: povzetek izvajanja posameznih ukrepov v koledarskem letu, seznam in opis subvencioniranih projektov, odobrene zneske po projektu, identiteto upravičencev.
An update of the statistics concerning intra-EU trade in the relevant publishing products shall also be submitted to the Commission in order to allow the monitoring of the developments in the markets.
Komisiji se posreduje tudi dopolnitev statističnih podatkov o trgovini z zadevnimi založniškimi proizvodi znotraj Skupnosti, kar bo omogočilo sledenje premikom na trgih.

The eligible products consist of paper-based products, including books or electronic-based products, which are to be published or used to disseminate information to the public through any means, including electronic, or through radio or television broadcasting. Products reproducing sounds and voices, moving pictures including documentaries; and corporate information documentation whether for internal or external use are explicitly excluded from the list of eligible products.
Za upravičenega velja proizvod, narejen na papirnem nosilcu, vključno s knjigo, ali na računalniškem nosilcu, namenjen objavi ali kakorkoli širjenju informacij v javnosti z vsakovrstnimi sredstvi, tudi elektronskimi, ali prek radiodifuzije, zvočne ali televizijske, razen proizvodov, ki reproducirajo zvoke in glasove, diskografskih in kinematografskih proizvodov ali dokumentacijskih proizvodov, ki vsebujejo podatke družbe za notranjo ali zunanjo uporabo.
The Italian authorities indicate that the measure under review would replace existing aid measures introduced by respectively Law 416 of 5.8.1981 and Law 67 of 25.2.1987, both of which were approved by the Commission, respectively on 18.11.1983 with letter No 1398 and on 7.7.1988 with letter No 8232 under aid C-25/87.
Italijanski pristojni organi navajajo, da obravnavana ugodnost nadomešča obstoječe oblike pomoči, določene v Zakonu št. 416 z dne 5.8.1981 in Zakonu št. 67 z dne 25.2.1987, ki ju je odobrila Komisija, in sicer prvega dne 18.11.1983 z dopisom št. 1398, ter drugega 7.7.1988 z dopisom št. 8232, številka pomoči C 25/87.
The terms, amount of resources available and the eligibility conditions of publishing undertakings to the aid measures defined in Article 6 of Law 62/2001 are specified in the decree of the Capo dipartimento per l'informazione e l'editoria della presidenza del Consiglio of 13 December 2002, GU 297, 19.12.2002, p. 29.
