The objective of the viability of restructuring also remains the same.
cilj sposobnosti preživetja prestrukturiranja prav tako ostane isti,
There is only a one- to two-year delay in the restructuring period initially recommended.
priporočeno obdobje prestrukturiranja v začetku obsega le razpon enega do dveh let,
In connection with the initiation of the procedure for this dossier, the Commission is reinvestigating the overall situation of 2001 in the light of its updating to 2003-4.
zaradi začetka postopka v tej zadevi Komisija ponovno preuči celoten položaj iz leta 2001 ob upoštevanju njegove ponovne uresničitve v letih 2003–04.
Having regard to these elements, the Commission concludes that the aid investigated for the purposes of this decision meets the criteria of paragraph 3.2.4. of the abovementioned Guidelines.
Komisija zaradi teh elementov sklepa, da pomoč, ocenjena v okviru te odločbe, izpolnjuje merila v točki 3.2.4 zgoraj omenjenih smernic.
Consequently, the aid examined does not constitute new restructuring aid and the “one time, last time” principle does not apply.
Zato preučena pomoč ne predstavlja nove pomoči za prestrukturiranje in se pri tem načelo „enotne pomoči“ ne uporablja.
Eligibility for restructuring aid
Upravičenost do pomoči za prestrukturiranje
The Commission confirms the elements set out in the Sernam 1 decision with regard to Sernam’s eligibility for restructuring aid, in respect of which it has in fact not raised any doubt in its decision to initiate the procedure (C 32/03).
Komisija potrjuje elemente iz odločbe Sernam 1, kar zadeva upravičenost do pomoči za prestrukturiranje Sernama, glede na katere pa sicer ni podala dvomov v svoji odločbi o začetku postopka št. C 32/03.
In paragraphs 82 to 87, the Sernam 1 decision contains considerations regarding the concept of a company in difficulty, a newly created company and 'one time, last time' aid.
V točkah 82 do 87 vsebuje odločba Sernam 1 pomisleke v zvezi s koncepti podjetja v težavah, novo ustanovljenim podjetjem in enotno pomočjo.
Even though Sernam was eventually reconverted from an SCS (limited partnership) to a société anonyme and although Sernam’s privatisation is no longer a constituent element of the dossier, the analysis of eligibility remains unchanged.
Čeprav je bil Sernam pozneje ponovno preoblikovan iz SCS v delniško družbo in čeprav privatizacija Sernama ni več sestavni element zadeve, ostaja analiza upravičenosti do pomoči nespremenjena.
This is due, in particular, to the fact that the company's difficulties noted before 23 May 2001 necessarily remain unchanged and the objective of restructuring also remains the same.
To je zlasti posledica dejstva, da težave podjetja, ugotovljene pred 23. majem 2001, nujno ostanejo nespremenjene ter, da cilj prestrukturiranja prav tako ostane isti.
Restoring viability
Vrnitev k sposobnosti preživetja
Even though Sernam’s privatisation did not take place as envisaged in the Sernam 1 decision, Sernam has continued to carry out many elements of the initial restructuring plan while adding a range of new elements, indicating that a genuine change is in progress and raising prospects that Sernam will eventually restore its viability.
Čeprav privatizacija ni potekala tako kot je bilo predvideno v odločbi Sernam 1, je Sernam nadaljeval z izvajanjem velikega števila elementov začetnega načrta prestrukturiranja, kljub temu, da je k temu dodajal vrsto novih elementov, ki navajajo, da je resnična sprememba v teku in govorijo v prid sposobnosti preživetja v smislu Sernama.
Reorganisation of sites: This reorganisation of operating sites appears to be a key element to restore the viability of a company such as Sernam.
Preureditev lokacij: Ta preureditev lokacij se je dejansko izkazala kot ključni element za uresničitev vrnitve k sposobnosti preživetja podjetja, tipa Sernam.
The reasons adduced by the French authorities such as the transactions referred to above with regard to the organisation of these sites, their geographic location and their excessive numbers constitute essential rationalisation towards greater efficiency and lower costs of future operations.
Razlogi, na katere so se sklicevali francoski organi, kakor so bili povzeti zgoraj, v zvezi z razporeditvijo lokacij, njihovo geografsko postavitvijo ter njihovim prevelikim številom, prinašajo osnovno racionalizacijo za večjo učinkovitost in zmanjšanje stroška prihodnjih ukrepov.
Staff cuts: Furthermore, the reduction of the number of staff is quite considerable, from 5050 persons in 1999 to […]in 2005, which should make it possible to make substantial savings and give Sernam the flexibility and adaptability necessary to attain its innovative objectives.
Zmanjšanje osebja: Poleg tega je zmanjšanje števila delojemalcev dejansko zelo pomembno, od 5050 oseb leta 1999 na […] leta 2005, preden bi bili možni veliki prihranki in bi Sernamu omogočili nujno prožnost in prilagodljivost za uresničevanje njegovih inovativnih ciljev.
Computer system: With the assistance of Geodis, Sernam has changed over its computer system to two new management software packages (“Aanael” and “Alizée 2000”) which should optimise its future operations.
Informacijski sistem: S pomočjo Geodisa je Sernam spremenil svoj informacijski sistem v smeri dveh novih programov za upravljanje („Aanael“ in „Alizée 2000“), ki morata izboljšati prihodnje ukrepe Sernama.
The “Xpress” range: The new express range has made it possible to classify transported products in several categories with the advantages of express services.
Obseg „hitre storitve“: Nova obseg hitrih storitev je omogočil sestavo tipologije izdelkov, odposlanih glede na številne kategorije z doprinosom prednosti hitrih izdelkov.
In this way, Sernam has aligned its services in accordance with a modern operating concept as recommended by experts to ensure profitable operation on a market with growth potential.
Sernam se je tako prilagodil na koncept sodobnega obratovanja, kakor so ga priporočali strokovnjaki za donosno obratovanje na trgu rastoče zmogljivosti.
“TBE”: Moreover, by centring its activities around the certified “express” range of services, Sernam has also been able to focus its new road transport plan on “TBE”, a highly innovative concept.
„TBE“: Poleg tega je preusmeritev dejavnosti v okviru potrjenega obsega „hitrih storitev“ prav tako omogočila Sernamu, da svoj novi načrt za cestni prevoz osredotoči okrog zelo inovativnega elementa, ki sestavlja „TBE“.
The combination of “express services” and TBE has enabled Sernam to attain a current turnover of € […] million, of the total groupage turnover of € […] million.
Kombinacija med „obsegom hitrih storitev“ in „TBE“ danes Sernamu omogoča izvajati […] mio EUR prometa od […] mio EUR prometa v zbirnem pošiljanju.
Moreover, the TBE concept, combined with the new range of express services seems to be fully consistent with the approach recommended by the abovementioned experts to make railway transport attractive.
Poleg tega naj bi koncept TBE, združen z novim obsegom hitrih storitev, popolnoma ustrezal logiki, ki jo zelo priporočajo zgoraj omenjeni strokovnjaki, z namenom da bi železniški prevoz postal privlačen.
As TBE is profitable on minimum distances of 400 km and its speed is in any case faster than the speed limits on the road, it should be possible for TBE to be fully competitive with long-distance lorry transport, even if a minimum of two stops for unloading appear necessary.
Ker je TBE donosen na razdaljah najmanj 400 km in je njegova hitrost na vsak način višja od omejitev cestnih hitrosti, bi moral biti TBE popolnoma konkurenčen glede na prevoz s tovornjaki na dolgih razdaljah, čeprav naj bi bila nujna vsaj dva postanka za raztovarjanje [53].
The competitiveness of TBE should be further enhanced if the speed limit on the road is further reduced below that currently allowed for small and medium-sized lorries.
Konkurenčnost TBE bi se torej morala povečati v primeru omejitve cestne hitrosti na stopnjo, nižjo od trenutno odobrene stopnje za majhne in srednje velike tovornjake.
The success of TBE, which according to the French authorities is assured, shows that the concept meets a genuine need on the French national market.
Uspeh Sernama, ki bi bil po mnenju francoskih organov zagotovljen, dokazuje, da je koncept na nacionalnem francoskem trgu resnično potreben.
This interest is another element showing that the diversification started by Sernam in order to become gradually specialized in mail transport through TBE may indeed have an economic future.
Ta interes je drugi element, ki določa, da ima razlikovanje, ki ga je sprožil Sernam za svojo postopno specializacijo v prevozu pošte preko TBE, dejansko lahko gospodarsko prihodnost.
The trend toward regionalisation of the French mail and express market could explain the interest kindled by TBE which by definition operates only on long distances.
Nagnjenje k regionalizaciji poštnega in trga hitre pošte v Franciji bi lahko pojasnilo zanimanje, ki ga zbuja TBE, ki po definiciji deluje samo na dolgih razdaljah.
It should further be borne in mind that the opening-up of the railway market, initiated by the Commission, should eventually enable Sernam to gain a foothold in a new segment of the international market.
Poleg tega se je treba spomniti, da bi odpiranje železniškega trga, ki ga je začela Komisija, moralo Sernamu končno omogočiti mesto na novem področju mednarodnega trga.
In this scenario (whether of national or international scope), and taking account of the conditions imposed by the present decision, Sernam should enter into one or more partnerships with other companies in order to achieve its objectives.
V tem pogledu (bodisi v nacionalnem ali mednarodnem obsegu) ter ob upoštevanju pogojev, ki jih predpisuje ta odločba, bo moral Sermam vstopiti v enega ali več poslovnih partnerstev za uresničitev svojih ciljev.
Sernam’s overall viability: Sernam has been able to eliminate almost entirely, and through its own restructuring efforts, the €67 million requirement which Geodis would have had to contribute to Sernam’s restructuring.
Sposobnost preživetja Sernama v celoti: Sernam je lahko v celoti izločil, ter po svojih lastnih močeh za prestrukturiranje, potrebo po 67 mio EUR, ki bi jih Geodis moral doprinesti k prestrukturiranju.
This shows that Sernam has been able independently to carry through an important part of the planned reorganisation, which will be very conducive in particular for the future management of its working capital requirement.
To ponazarja, da je bil Sernam sposoben samostojno uspešno izpeljati velik del predvidene preureditve, kar mu bo v veliko korist zlasti pri prihodnjem vodenju.
Moreover, the forecasts of the business plan in terms of Sernam’s performance seem plausible, given the other elements of rationalisation it has implemented, in particular as regards sites (number, location and organisation), staff, activities and WCR and having regard to the innovative concepts developed and established by Sernam (the express range and TBE) and the industrial partnerships which it intends to conclude (a condition of the present decision) to enable it to extend its railway activities (TBE), not only on the national express market but also in international express services which have grown considerably in recent years and for which the prospects remain promising.
Poleg tega se domneve poslovnega načrta v zvezi z uspehi Sernama izkazujejo kot sprejemljive ob upoštevanju druge racionalizacije, ki jo je izvedel Sernam, zlasti glede lokacij (število, prostor in razporeditev, osebja, dejavnosti, POK ter ob upoštevanju inovativnih konceptov, ki jih je razvil in vzpostavil Sernam („obseg hitrih storitev“ in „TBE“), kakor tudi industrijskih partnerstev, v katera Sernam namerava vstopiti (in ki so pogoj te pogodbe, da bi lahko razširili svoje železniške dejavnosti (TBE), ne le na ravni nacionalnega trga hitre pošte, temveč tudi mednarodnega trga, ki je bil zadnja leta deležen izrednega uspeha in katerega upi za prihodnost so zelo obetavni.
Taking the abovementioned factors into account, the Commission is of the opinion that Sernam could be restored to permanent financial viability within a reasonable period of time, as announced by the French authorities.
Ob upoštevanju zgoraj omenjenih dejavnikov Komisija ocenjuje, da bo Sernam lahko dobil nazaj svojo trajno finančno sposobnost preživetja v zmernih rokih, kot so napovedali francoski organi.
Preventing distortion of competition - Reduction of capacity
Preprečevanje izkrivljanja konkurence – zmanjševanje zmogljivosti
According to the information from the French authorities, Sernam has already substantially reduced its capacity and is planning further cuts in addition to those provided for in the Sernam 1 decision by the end of the restructuring period 2005-2006 by reducing the number of sites, staff and turnover.
Po podatkih francoskih organov je Sernam že izdatno zmanjšal svoje zmogljivosti in do konca obdobja prestrukturiranja v letih 2005-2006 predvideva dodatna zmanjševanja k predvidenim v odločbi Sernam 1 v zvezi z zmanjševanjem lokacij, osebja in prometa.
Moreover, Sernam is shifting its focus from groupage/traditional mail services to express mail services and also from road transport to a new rail concept, TBE.
Poleg tega se Sernam preusmerja od zbirnega pošiljanja/tradicionalne pošte k hitri pošti ter se prav tako preusmerja od načina cestnega odpošiljanja k novemu železniškemu konceptu, TBE.
The TBE concept is being developed in a new market segment where there is no overcapacity and may provide capacity for additional growth at national and international level.
Koncept TBE je razvit na novem področju trga, ki nima presežnih zmogljivosti in lahko ponuja dodatne zmogljivosti razvoja, tako na nacionalni, kakor tudi na mednarodni ravni.
The French authorities have thus met a number of criteria laid down in the Sernam 1 decision.
Francoski organi so tako zadovoljili določenemu številu meril pogodbe Sernam 1.
Preventing distortion of competition – Specific compensatory measures
Preprečevanje izkrivljanja konkurence – posebna nadomestila
The Commission notes first of all that:
Komisija najprej povzema, da:
measures should be taken to attenuate the unfavourable consequences of aid for competitors as much as possible;
se morajo sprejet ukrepi, kolikor je to mogoče, za olajšanje neugodnih okoliščin pomoči za tekmece,
the limitation or forced reduction of Sernam’s presence on the market or markets concerned in which the company operates is a compensatory measure for the benefit of its competitors;
omejitev ali prisiljeno zmanjšanje prisotnosti na zadevnem trgu ali trgih, na katerih deluje podjetje, predstavlja za tekmece nadomestilo,
compensatory measures could take different forms, depending on whether or not the company is operating in a market where there is overcapacity.
nadomestila bodo lahko v različnih oblikah, glede na to ali podjetje deluje ali ne deluje na trgu s presežno zmogljivostjo,
Next, the Commission notes the following:
Komisija nadalje povzema naslednje elemente:
The markets concerned: The Commission notes that the main markets in which Sernam operates are the French national markets of groupage, traditional mail services and express mail services.
Zadevni trgi: Komisija ugotavlja, da so poglavitni trgi, na katerih deluje Sernam, francoski nacionalni trgi za zbirnega pošiljanja/tradicionalne pošte in hitre pošte.
These markets nevertheless involve an essential element of road and rail transport.
Ti trgi kljub temu vsebujejo osnovni element cestnega in železniškega prevoza.
Rail transport (TBE concept): As regards the development of groupage and mail transported by express rail services (TBE concept), the French authorities have confirmed to the Commission that “Sernam does not have a monopoly of TBE as any operator may ask Fret SNCF for an equivalent service.
Železniški prevoz (koncept „TBE“): Kar zadeva razvoj zbirnega pošiljanja in hitri prevoz pošte po železniški poti (koncept „TBE“), so francoski organi Komisiji potrdili, da „SERNAM nima monopola nad TBE, v kolikor lahko vsak operater pri Fret SNCF zahteva enakovredno storitev.
Sernam has responded positively to requests for technical cooperation on TBE made by an operator who wished to evaluate its relevance and efficiency.”
Sernam je na svoji strani odgovoril v prid zahtevam po tehničnem sodelovanju pri TBE nekega operaterja, ki je v njem želel izmeriti primernost in učinkovitost.“
Railway groupage as practiced by Sernam through TBE and the new express range is a new market to be developed where there is no structural overcapacity.
Železniško zbirno pošiljanje, kakršno uporablja Sernam s pomočjo TBE, in nov obseg hitrih storitev je nov trg, ki ga je treba razviti in ne predstavlja presežnih strukturnih zmogljivosti.
Taking account also of the fact that the French authorities have provided the necessary assurances that Sernam cannot have a monopoly on this market, the Commission considers that Sernam need not take any compensatory measures as a quid pro quo for the aid in this market segment and may continue to develop its services within it.
Prav tako ob upoštevanju dejstva, da so francoski organi sprejeli nujna zagotovila, da Sernam ne more izkoristiti monopola na tem trgu, Komisija meni, da Sernam ne sme prispevati k nadomestilom za pomoč na tem področju in lahko nadaljuje svoj razvoj znotraj slednjega.
Road transport: However, there is structural overcapacity in road transport throughout Europe, and therefore also in France.
Cestni prevoz: Nasprotno ima cestni prevoz presežno strukturno zmogljivost v vsej Evropi, torej enako v Franciji.
Moreover, the French traditional groupage market is regarded as stagnating and that for the transport of standardised packages (parcels) is in decline.
Poleg tega francoski trg tradicionalnega zbirnega pošiljanja velja za zastajajočega, trg poštnih standardiziranih paketov („paketov“) pa je v upadu.
The interested parties indicate that the market is exacerbated by the closure of companies in the relevant market in France, which are more numerous than those in the previous year, and the market is also affected by strong price competition, in particular on the part of Sernam.
Zainteresirane stranke navajajo, da se razmere na trgu zaostrujejo z zapiranji podjetij na zadevnem trgu v Franciji, ki so številčnejša od lanskoletnih ter, da je zanj značilna huda cenovna konkurenca, zlasti tista, ki jo uporablja Sernam.
Groupage and express: Sernam occupies a strong position on the groupage/traditional mail market and in particular the express market in France and has a significant market share compared with a large number of other market participants.
Zbiranje paketov/hitra pošta: Sernam je pomemben dejavnik na trgu zbirnega pošiljanja/tradicionalne pošte in zlasti hitre pošte v Franciji ter ima v lasti pomemben tržni delež pred velikim številom drugih akterjev na teh trgih.
Misuse of aid: Moreover, taking account of the misuse of aid established above and the extension of the period of the restructuring plan, the Commission takes the view that Sernam should take a specific compensatory measure by permanently withdrawing from market segments with overcapacity so as to warrant approval of part of the aid at issue.
Neprimerna uporaba pomoči: Poleg tega Komisija ob upoštevanju zgoraj ugotovljene neprimerne pomoči in podaljšanja trajanja načrta prestrukturiranja ocenjuje, da mora Sernam priskrbeti posebno nadomestilo s trajnim umikom iz področij trga, predvsem s presežno zmogljivostjo, da se odobritev enega dela zadevne pomoči lahko upraviči.
The immediate consequence of granting State aid in markets with structural overcapacity or in decline is that a company that would have had to give up its business on account of the stated difficulties would be enabled to artificially occupy market shares for which there is a very strong demand, to the detriment of financially sound competing companies.
Podelitev državnih pomoči na trgih s presežno strukturno zmogljivostjo in celo v propadu bi dejansko podjetju, ki bo moralo zaustaviti svoje dejavnosti zaradi svojih razglašenih težav, posledično takoj omogočila umetno zasedbo zelo iskanih tržnih deležev v škodo konkurenčnih in finančno sposobnih podjetij.
Care should therefore be taken to avoid driving away financially sound competitors from the market to the benefit of those that appear to be unable to survive by their own efforts.
Prav tako se je treba izogniti nezaželenim učinkom, da bi pomoč z iskanega trga pregnala finančno sposobna podjetja v korist tistih, ki se izkazujejo kot nesposobna preživeti s svojimi lastnimi sredstvi.
Bearing this in mind, the Commission is of the opinion that Sernam should permanently withdraw from market segments with overcapacity, in this case the market segment of groupage/traditional mail carried by road.
V tem smislu Komisija ocenjuje, da mora Sernam trajno odpraviti svoje dejavnosti na področjih trga s presežno zmogljivostjo, v tem primeru na področju trga zbirnega pošiljanja/tradicionalne pošte, prevažane po cesti.
Even though Sernam has already started this withdrawal, the Commission believes that it is not enough and that such it should be sustained.
Čeprav je Sernam že začel takšen umik, Komisija ocenjuje, da ni zadosten in se mora trajno nadaljevati.
The Commission therefore considers it necessary to impose conditions which (i) will enable Sernam to continue moving through innovative diversification towards a market segment to be developed (and therefore without overcapacity) and (ii) will make it possible to replace Sernam’s services by services of other operators (which will have the effect of freeing up Sernam’s market shares in these segments) in market segments with overcapacity or stagnation or in decline.
Zaradi tega meni, da je potrebno določiti pogoje, ki (i) bodo Sernamu omogočili nadaljevati njegovo razvijanje v smislu inovativne usmeritve k področju trga, ki ga je treba razviti (ki torej nima presežne zmogljivosti) in (ii) bodo na področjih trga s presežno zmogljivostjo, v zastoju ali v propadu omogočili nadomestiti storitve Sernama s storitvami drugih operaterjev (kar bo vplivalo na sprostitev tržnih deležev Sernama na teh področjih).
These conditions are as follows:
Ti pogoji so naslednji:
Sernam will be able to develop only its activities in the transport of mail by rail (TBE concept).
Sernam bo lahko razvil le svoje dejavnosti prevoza pošte po železnici (koncept „TBE“).
In this connection, SNCF guarantees that it will offer to any other operator that so requests the same conditions as those granted to Sernam to develop freight transport by rail or TBE.
V tem pogledu SNCF vsakemu operaterju, ki bo to zahteval, zagotavlja ponudbo enakih pogojev kot veljajo za Sernam za razvoj železniškega prevoza tovora „TBE“.
As a quid pro quo, Sernam must over the next two years starting from the date on which this decision is notified, fully replace its own road transport resources and services by road transport resources and services of one or more companies in which SNCF does not have a majority share.
Nasprotno bo Sernam moral v teku naslednjih dveh let od datuma uradne objave te pogodbe v celoti nadomestiti svoje lastne načine in storitve cestnega prevoza z načini in storitvami cestnega prevoza enega ali več podjetij, ki niso v večinski lasti SNCF.
Sernam’s own road transport resources and services refers to all the means of road transport – i.e. road transport vehicles – of Sernam of which it has full ownership or which it leases or rents.
Z lastnimi sredstvi in storitvami cestnega prevoza se načrtuje skupek sredstev cestnega prevoza – in sicer vozila za cestni prevoz – v popolni lasti družbe Sernam ali na leasing/v najem;
The companies that take over Sernam’s road transport activities must provide all the road transport services using their own resources.
Podjetja, ki bodo prevzela cestne dejavnosti Sernama, bodo morala zagotoviti celotne storitve cestnega prevoza s svojimi lastnimi sredstvi.
The obligation to carry out this replacement will certainly be a challenge to the company.
Obveznost prehoda k takšni nadomestitvi bo za podjetje zagotovo izziv.
