Apparently, the Netherlands regarded the fees as not being too high, given the agreement on the predetermined budget deficits, which were based on more precise assumptions regarding the fees to be applied.
Nizozemska je glede na sporazum o vnaprej določenih proračunskih primanjkljajih, ki so temeljili na natančnejših predpostavkah glede pristojbin, ki se morajo uporabljati, očitno menila, da pristojbine niso preveč visoke.
Absence of overcompensation
Odsotnost prekomernega nadomestila
Overcompensation must be avoided for all aid elements in the system.
Pri vseh elementih pomoči v sistemu se je treba izogibati prekomernemu nadomestilu.
In this respect, the Commission assesses the following elements separately: 1. the compensation for the budget deficits in 2002 and 2003; 2. the compensation for the budget deficits in 2004, 2005 and 2006; 3. the compensation for the costs of closure, which consists in (a) compensation for closure costs related to the agreed investments to the extent that they have not yet been written off, and (b) closure costs resulting from early closure of the RDFs; and 4. the aid contained in the guarantee.
Komisija v zvezi s tem ločeno ocenjuje naslednje elemente: 1. nadomestilo za proračunske primanjkljaje v letih 2002 in 2003; 2. nadomestilo za proračunske primanjkljaje v letih 2004, 2005 in 2006; 3. nadomestilo za stroške zaprtja, ki zajemajo (a) nadomestilo za stroške zaprtja, povezane z dogovorjenimi naložbami, če te še niso odpisane, in (b) stroške zaprtja, ki izhajajo iz predčasnega zaprtja peči RDF; in 4. pomoč, vsebovano v jamstvu.
As regards the 2002 and 2003 budget deficits, the Commission considers the methodology for calculating the expected deficits, which are to be granted as aid, to be appropriate and sufficiently restrictive.
Kar zadeva proračunske primanjkljaje v letih 2002 in 2003, Komisija meni, da je metodologija za izračun pričakovanih primanjkljajev, za katere naj bi se podelila pomoč, ustrezna in dovolj omejevalna.
All the elements, apart from the compensation for acquisition costs (see points 108-113), are directly related to the fulfilment of the public service obligation.
Vsi elementi, razen nadomestila za stroške pridobivanja (glej točke 108–113), so neposredno povezani z izpolnjevanjem obveznosti javne storitve.
There is no reason to believe that cost elements have been artificially inflated and that the assistance of an independent consultant has helped the Netherlands to calculate the aid in a restrictive way.
Ni nobenega razloga za domnevo, da so elementi stroškov umetno zvišani in da je Nizozemska s pomočjo neodvisnega svetovalca izračunala pomoč na omejevalen način.
The methodology contains a more detailed analysis of AVR Nuts’ opening balance sheet, which provides a sound basis for the estimates of AVR Nuts’ costs and revenues in the new situation.
Metodologija zajema podrobnejšo analizo začetne bilance stanja podjetja AVR Nuts, kar zagotavlja trdno podlago za ocene stroškov in prihodkov podjetja AVR Nuts v novih okoliščinah.
Variable costs, direct fixed costs and costs charged by other AVR companies are estimated on the basis of detailed breakdowns.
Spremenljivi stroški, neposredni stalni stroški in stroški, ki jih zaračunavajo druga podjetja AVR, so ocenjeni na podlagi podrobnih razčlenitev.
Investments and depreciation are duly taken into account by means of a detailed investment plan for 2002-16 and by writing off new investments over 7,24 years.
Naložbe in amortizacija so ustrezno upoštevane z uporabo podrobnega naložbenega programa za obdobje 2002–2016 in z odpisom novih naložb v obdobju 7,24 leta.
This ensured that costs were not artificially inflated by individual investments or disproportionate depreciation.
S tem je bilo zagotovljeno, da se stroški niso umetno zvišali zaradi posameznih naložb ali nesorazmerne amortizacije.
The comments from interested parties raised various issues, but no proof of overcompensation was provided.
Zainteresirane strani so s svojimi pripombami sprožile različna vprašanja, vendar ni bil predložen noben dokaz o prekomernem nadomestilu.
For the years 2004-06, the aid is based on the same methodology and so the Commission does not a priori expect any overcompensation.
Za leta 2004–2006 pomoč temelji na enaki metodologiji, zato Komisija a priori ne pričakuje morebitnega prekomernega nadomestila.
The predetermined budget deficit in 2004 is based entirely on the same methodology and the increase in the predetermined deficit, despite the closure of one of the RDFs, is fully explained by the various cost elements of this methodology (see the figures in Annex I).
Vnaprej določen proračunski primanjkljaj v letu 2004 v celoti temelji na enaki metodologiji in povišanje vnaprej določenega primanjkljaja kljub zaprtju ene od peči RDF je mogoče v celoti razložiti z različnimi stroškovnimi elementi te metodologije (glej številke v Prilogi I).
Given the high losses in excess of the predetermined deficits for 2002 and 2003, it need not surprise anyone that the predetermined deficit for 2004 was higher.
Glede na visoke izgube, ki so višje od vnaprej določenih primanjkljajev za leti 2002 in 2003, ni presenetljivo, da je bil vnaprej določen primanjkljaj za leto 2004 višji.
The closure of the first RDF, moreover, may have reduced the variable costs, but its impact on fixed costs, which account for a significant part of total costs, has been limited.
Poleg tega je zaprtje prve peči RDF lahko zmanjšalo spremenljive stroške, vendar je bil njegov vpliv na stalne stroške, ki zajemajo precejšen del celotnih stroškov, omejen.
Nevertheless, in line with the Commission's general policy, overcompensation for the cost of an SGEI should be excluded not only ex ante, but also ex post.
Kljub temu je treba v skladu s splošno politiko Komisije možnost prekomernega nadomestila za stroške storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena izključiti ne le predhodno, temveč tudi naknadno.
The Commission, therefore, requests the Netherlands to verify the actual costs and to adjust the aid level if necessary in order to avoid a situation in which compensation would allow AVR Nuts to earn a profit margin on its activities higher than is normal for this type of activity in this sector.
Komisija zato prosi Nizozemsko, da preveri dejanske stroške in prilagodi raven pomoči, če je to potrebno, da ne bi prišlo do situacije, v kateri bi nadomestilo omogočilo podjetju AVR Nuts, da s svojimi dejavnostmi zasluži profitno maržo, ki je višja od običajne profitne marže za to vrsto dejavnosti v tem sektorju.
The Commission accepts that aid can be granted as compensation for closure costs related to the agreed investments to the extent they have not yet been written off. Without sufficient guarantees, one cannot expect an operator to enter into a five-year service contract that requires substantial investments.
Komisija se strinja, da se pomoč lahko dodeli kot nadomestilo za stroške zaprtja, povezane z dogovorjenimi naložbami, če te še niso odpisane. Brez zadostnih jamstev ni mogoče pričakovati, da bo izvajalec sklenil petletno pogodbo o izvajanju storitev, ki zahteva precejšnje naložbe.
Depreciation of the investments over the period corresponding to the duration of the agreement, i.e. five years, would have been just as unreasonable.
Prav tako ne bi bila smiselna amortizacija naložb v obdobju, ki ustreza trajanju pogodbe, to je pet let.
It would have increased significantly the predetermined losses over that period and hence the level of aid.
To bi močno povišalo vnaprej določene izgube v tem obdobju in s tem tudi raven pomoči.
The relevant provisions in the concession agreement constitute a necessary and efficient corollary to the compensation system.
Ustrezne določbe v koncesijski pogodbi so potrebna in učinkovita dopolnitev sistema nadomestil.
The fact that those provisions were applied before the planned expiry of the concession agreement does not alter this assessment.
Dejstvo, da so se te določbe uporabljale pred načrtovanim potekom koncesijske pogodbe, ne spremeni te presoje.
On the basis of the information provided by the Netherlands, the Commission does not expect there to be any overcompensation for this element.
Na podlagi informacij, ki jih je posredovala Nizozemska, Komisija ne pričakuje morebitnega prekomernega nadomestila glede tega elementa.
A few aspects, however, are not sufficiently clear, viz. whether any proceeds from the sale of assets or any profits from continued use for other purposes will be properly taken into account.
Vendar pa nekateri vidiki niso dovolj jasni, namreč ali se bodo ustrezno upoštevali morebitni prihodki od prodaje sredstev ali morebitni dobički iz nadaljnje uporabe za druge namene.
Consequently, for this element too, the Commission requests the Netherlands to verify the actual costs and to adjust the aid level if necessary.
Zato Komisija tudi glede tega elementa prosi Nizozemsko, da preveri dejanske stroške in prilagodi raven pomoči, če je to potrebno.
The Commission can also accept that compensation is granted for additional costs resulting from the earlier-than-expected closure of the RDFs.
Komisija se tudi strinja, da je nadomestilo dodeljeno za dodatne stroške, ki izhajajo iz predčasnega zaprtja peči RDF.
A Member State cannot be obliged to continue with such a contract, especially if it thereby pays less than what it probably would have had to pay if the activities had been continued.
Država članica ne more biti zavezana, da še naprej izvaja tako pogodbo, zlasti če zato plačuje manj, kot bi verjetno plačevala, če bi se dejavnosti nadaljevale.
The information provided by the Netherlands on these additional costs is relatively detailed.
Informacije, ki jih je predložila Nizozemska glede teh dodatnih stroškov, so dokaj podrobne.
Various elements, however, are based on estimates which seem to present a rather wide margin of uncertainty.
Vendar pa različni elementi temeljijo na ocenah, za katere pa se zdi, da so precej negotove.
Moreover, only the costs necessarily linked to the SGEI and to the earlier-than-expected closure can be included, and it is not sufficiently clear from the information available whether this is indeed the case.
Poleg tega se lahko vključijo le stroški, ki so neizogibno povezani s storitvijo splošnega gospodarskega pomena in s predčasnim zaprtjem, iz razpoložljivih informacij pa ni dovolj jasno razvidno, ali je res tako.
Consequently, for this element as well, the Commission requests the Netherlands to verify the actual costs and to adjust the aid level if necessary.
Zato Komisija tudi glede tega elementa prosi Nizozemsko, da preveri dejanske stroške in prilagodi raven pomoči, če je to potrebno.
Lastly, the Commission can accept that aid is granted through application of the guarantee covering 30 % of the costs of removal and decontamination.
Komisija se nazadnje tudi strinja, da se pomoč dodeli na podlagi jamstva, ki zajema 30 % stroškov odstranitve in dekontaminacije.
Had there not been a guarantee, the operating deficits and the operating aid would probably have been higher on account of the corresponding provisions that would have had to be made.
Če ne bi bilo jamstva, bi bili primanjkljaji iz rednega poslovanja in pomoč za tekoče poslovanje verjetno višji zaradi ustreznih rezervacij, ki bi jih bilo treba ustvariti.
The costs as such are directly linked to the original policy objective of offering the SGEI concerned in the Netherlands.
Sami stroški so neposredno povezali s prvotnim političnim ciljem ponujanja storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena na Nizozemskem.
The actual costs, however, are not yet known, so the Commission will require appropriate ex post control.
Vendar pa dejanski stroški še niso znani, zato bo Komisija zahtevala ustrezno naknadno kontrolo.
To sum up, the Commission finds no overcompensation for the operating deficits for 2002 and 2003 but can allow the remaining aid elements only on condition that the Netherlands ensures that there is no overcompensation ex post over the entire period, taking into account excess losses and profits for all the years covered by the concession agreement.
Če povzamemo, Komisija ni ugotovila nobenega prekomernega nadomestila za primanjkljaje iz rednega poslovanja za leti 2002 ni 2003, vendar lahko dovoli ostale elemente pomoči le pod pogojem, da Nizozemska naknadno zagotovi, da v celotnem obdobju ni bilo nobenega prekomernega nadomestila, ob upoštevanju prekoračitev izgub in dobičkov za vsa leta, ki so zajeta v koncesijski pogodbi.
The aid may allow AVR Nuts to earn a reasonable profit margin on the activities concerned.
Pomoč lahko podjetju AVR Nuts omogoči, da z zadevnimi dejavnostmi zasluži sprejemljivo profitno maržo.
The risk for AVR under the agreement was limited since predetermined losses would be fully covered by the aid, but AVR remained largely exposed to the operating risk [20], with the result that risk was not excluded, as indeed proved to be the case in practice.
Tveganje je bilo za podjetje AVR v okviru pogodbe omejeno, saj bi pomoč v celoti pokrila vnaprej določene izgube, kljub temu pa je podjetje še naprej izpostavljeno tveganjem iz poslovanja, [20] zato tveganje ni bilo izključeno, kar se je pokazalo tudi v praksi.
Given the market conditions and AVR Nuts’ risk profile, the Commission can certainly accept a profit level equivalent to the rate of return on Dutch government bonds plus 2 percentage points.
Glede na tržne pogoje in profil tveganj podjetja AVR Nuts lahko Komisija z gotovostjo sprejme raven donosnosti, ki je enaka stopnji donosa nizozemskih državnih obveznic, povečani za 2 odstotni točki.
If, in practice, profit is found to exceed this threshold, the Netherlands must retroactively adjust the aid level and, in accordance with Article 88(3) of the Treaty, notify any aid that allows AVR Nuts to exceed the threshold.
Če se v praksi ugotovi, da dobiček presega ta prag, mora Nizozemska retroaktivno prilagoditi raven pomoči in v skladu s členom 88(3) Pogodbe prijaviti vsako pomoč, ki podjetju AVR Nuts omogoča, da preseže ta prag.
The ex post verification must adequately verify the absence of overcompensation.
Naknadna preveritev mora ustrezno potrditi odsotnost prekomernega nadomestila.
To this end, the Commission requires detailed monitoring reports which must address at least the issues specified in Annex II.
Komisija v ta namen zahteva podrobna poročila o spremljanju, ki morajo zajemati vsaj vprašanja, navedena v Prilogi II.
Proportionality and no distortion of trade contrary to the common interest
Sorazmernost in prepoved izkrivljanja trgovine v nasprotju s skupnim interesom
The Commission exercises control of proportionality so as to ensure that the means used to perform the general interest task do not lead to unnecessary distortions of trade.
Komisija izvaja nadzor sorazmernosti, da bi zagotovila, da sredstva, ki se uporabljajo za izvajanje naloge splošnega interesa, ne povzročijo nepotrebnih izkrivljanj v trgovanju.
Specifically, it has to be ensured that any restrictions on the rules of the EC Treaty, especially restrictions on competition and limitations on the freedoms of the internal market, do not exceed what is necessary to guarantee effective fulfilment of the task.
Posebej je treba zagotoviti, da kakršne koli omejitve glede predpisov iz Pogodbe ES, zlasti omejitve glede konkurence in svobod notranjega trga, ne prekoračijo ravni, ki je potrebna, da se zagotovi učinkovito izpolnjevanje naloge.
The Commission considers that the measures adopted by the Netherlands comply for the most part with the proportionality requirement.
Komisija meni, da so ukrepi, ki jih je sprejela Nizozemska, večinoma skladni s zahtevo po sorazmernosti.
It is difficult to imagine by which other means the Netherlands could have ensured the availability of sufficient domestic capacity for disposing of hazardous waste.
Težko si je predstavljati, kako bi sicer Nizozemska lahko zagotovila razpoložljivost zadostnih domačih zmogljivosti za odstranjevanje nevarnih odpadkov.
None of the interested parties has argued that there were less distortive alternatives available to meet this objective.
Nobena od zainteresiranih strank ni trdila, da so bile na voljo manj izkrivljajoče možnosti za dosego tega cilja.
The following aspects of the measure are considered to be proportionate as well.
Tudi naslednji vidiki ukrepa veljajo za sorazmerne:
Gate-fee system based on staggered rebates: Since the aim of this system is to maintain sufficient capacity for the proper disposal of RDF waste, the natural consequence is to aim for maximum capacity utilisation in order to minimise costs.
Sistem pristojbin za odlaganje, ki temelji na postopnih rabatih: Ker je namen tega sistema ohraniti zadostno zmogljivost za pravilno odstranjevanje odpadkov RDF, je naravna posledica tega, da se poskuša doseči čim večja izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, da bi se čim bolj znižali stroški.
As shown by the Netherlands, all suppliers could have applied for a refund, either directly or when supplying via intermediaries.
Kot je navedla Nizozemska, bi vsi dobavitelji lahko zaprosili za vračilo, bodisi neposredno ali ob dobavi prek posrednikov.
The gate-fee system based on staggered rebates is justified.
Sistem pristojbin za odlaganje, ki temelji na postopnih rabatih, je utemeljen.
The system of non-discriminatory fees and staggered rebates for all suppliers, including AVR IW, has limited the distortion of competition resulting from the measure.
Sistem nediskriminacijskih pristojbin in postopnih rabatov za vse dobavitelje, vključno s podjetjem AVR IW, je omejil izkrivljanje konkurence, ki je posledica ukrepa.
Although there may have been some confusion in practice, the non-discriminatory nature of the system could have been clear to any interested party The Netherlands has taken sufficient additional measures to increase transparency when there appeared to be some confusion.
Čeprav je bilo v praksi morda nekaj nejasnosti, je bila nediskriminacijska narava sistema lahko jasna vsaki zainteresirani stranki. Nizozemska je sprejela zadostne dodatne ukrepe, da bi povečala preglednost, kadar se je zdelo, da se je pojavila kakšna nejasnost.
Setting the fee for high-calorific waste at the level of competing disposal alternatives limited the distortion of competition on the market for this waste.
Določanje pristojbine za odpadke z visoko kalorično vrednostjo na ravni, ki je konkurenčna drugim možnostim odstranjevanja, je omejilo izkrivljanje konkurence na trgu teh odpadkov.
It must be noted that no company in the Netherlands had an obligation to supply RDF waste or high-calorific hazardous waste to AVR Nuts or AVR IW.
Poudariti je treba, da nobeno podjetje na Nizozemskem ni bilo obvezno zagotavljati odpadkov RDF ali nevarnih odpadkov z visoko kalorično vrednostjo podjetjema AVR Nuts ali AVR IW.
In contrast, the concession agreement obliged AVR Nuts to accept any C2 and RDF waste offered to it, whether or not supplied together with high-calorific hazardous waste.
Celo nasprotno, koncesijska pogodba je obvezovala podjetje AVR Nuts, da sprejme vse odpadke C2 in RDF, ki so mu ponujeni, ne glede na to, ali so dobavljeni skupaj z odpadki z visoko kalorično vrednostjo.
In this respect, the Commission finds insufficient evidence that there was prima facie abuse of a dominant position by AVR Nuts and that the concession agreement certainly does not provide a basis for such abuse.
V zvezi s tem se Komisiji zdijo dokazi, da je podjetje AVR Nuts na prvi pogled zlorabilo prevladujoč položaj, nezadostni in da koncesijska pogodba zagotovo ne zagotavlja podlage za tako zlorabo
Compensation in the event of closure: The provisions in the concession agreement that concern – in the event of the agreement not being extended - the compensation for the remaining book value of the as yet undepreciated investments that AVR had made during the period covered by this agreement with the consent of the State must similarly be considered to be proportionate.
Nadomestilo v primeru zaprtja: Določbe koncesijske pogodbe, ki zadevajo – če se pogodba ne podaljša – nadomestilo za preostalo knjigovodsko vrednost za zdaj še neamortiziranih naložb, ki jih je podjetje AVR izvedlo v obdobju, zajetem v navedeni pogodbi s soglasjem države, je podobno treba obravnavati kot sorazmerne.
Without such a guarantee, AVR’s agreement could not reasonably be expected.
Brez takega jamstva ne bi bilo utemeljeno pričakovati soglasja podjetja AVR.
The same applies to the guarantee by the State to cover a maximum of 30 % of the costs of removal and decontamination in the event of the installations being liquidated.
Enako velja za jamstvo države, da bo pokrila največ 30 % stroškov odstranitve in dekontaminacije v primeru zaprtja naprav.
Appropriate removal and decontamination are obviously in the public interest.
Ustrezna odstranitev in dekontaminacija sta očitno v javnem interesu.
Given its 30 % share in AVR Chemie, it is acceptable that the State should assume responsibility for its part, leaving the remainder for the other shareholder, AVR Holding.
Glede na 30-odstotni državni delež v podjetju AVR Chemie je sprejemljivo, da mora država v tem obsegu prevzeti odgovornost, ostalo pa prepustiti podjetju AVR Holding kot drugemu delničarju.
Maintaining two RDFs at the outset: The Commission examined whether the Netherlands should have granted aid for maintaining only one RDF.
Ohranitev dveh peči RDF na začetku: Komisija je preučila, ali bi morala Nizozemska dodeliti pomoč le za ohranitev ene peči RDF.
The question is whether the contribution to the realisation of the objectives pursued by the Netherlands by maintaining the second RDF offsets the aid required and the unfavourable effects on competition resulting from this.
Vprašanje je, ali prispevek k uresničitvi ciljev, ki jih skuša doseči Nizozemska z ohranitvijo druge peči RDF, izravna potrebno pomoč in neugodne učinke na konkurenco, ki so posledica tega.
The Commission here acknowledges that the Netherlands could legitimately aim to have sufficient domestic capacity for the treatment of RDF waste in order to avoid a capacity shortfall which would oblige the State to allow the exportation of such waste.
Komisija priznava, da bi Nizozemska lahko zakonito poskušala zagotoviti zadostne domače zmogljivosti za obdelavo odpadkov RDF, da bi se izognila pomanjkanju zmogljivosti, zaradi česar bi država morala dovoliti izvoz takih odpadkov.
Some flexibility in the assessment is unavoidable as the flows of C2 and RDF waste that would result could not be predicted with certainty and because of the risks attaching to the availability of the installations.
Določena prilagodljivost v presoji je neizogibna, ker tokov odpadkov C2 in RDF, ki bi nastali, ni bilo mogoče z gotovostjo predvideti in zaradi tveganj, povezanih z razpoložljivostjo naprav.
Such risks indeed materialised when, following a number of incidents, one of the RDFs was closed for some time in 2002.
Taka tveganja so se dejansko uresničila, ko je bila po več pripetljajih ena od peči RDF v letu 2002 nekaj časa zaprta.
The available capacity in 2002 and 2003 was only 73 % and 75 % respectively of the permitted capacity of 100000 tonnes and, for this reason, the Dutch authorities had to allow RDF waste to be exported, contrary to their policy aim.
V letu 2002 je bilo razpoložljivih le 73 %, v letu 2003 pa 75 % dovoljene zmogljivosti 100000 ton, zato so nizozemski organi morali dovoliti izvoz odpadkov RDF, kar je bilo v nasprotju z njihovim političnim ciljem.
When comparing expected quantities of RDF waste and the capacity of the two RDFs, the following must be noted. When the concession agreement was prepared in the period from end-2001 to mid-2002, the expected supply of RDF waste was put at around 38500 tonnes per year.
Če primerjamo pričakovane količine odpadkov RDF in zmogljivost dveh peči RDF, je treba poudariti naslednje: Ko se je pripravljala koncesijska pogodba v obdobju od konca leta 2001 do sredine leta 2002, je bila pričakovana dobava odpadkov RDF približno 38500 ton na leto.
This estimate was based on past experience.
Ocena je temeljila na preteklih izkušnjah.
Treatment requires at least the same volume of high-calorific waste.
Za obdelavo je potrebna vsaj enaka količina odpadkov z visoko kalorično vrednostjo.
