The Commission also requests Italy to send within two months of the date of notification of this Decision documents that prove that procedures to recover illegal and incompatible aid from the recipients have been initiated (for example, circulars, repayment orders, and the like),
Komisija poleg tega poziva Italijo, naj ji v dveh mesecih od datuma te odločbe pošlje dokumente, ki dokazujejo, da so bili sproženi postopki vračila nezakonitih in nezdružljivih pomoči od njihovih prejemnikov (na primer okrožnice, izdani nalogi za vračilo itd.).
Lastly, the new implementation criteria, notified by letter A/34747 of 25 June 2004 and amended and supplemented by letter A/34426 of 2 June 2005, satisfy the conditions for compatibility with the common market, as is set out on a case-by-case basis in Part VI.4 (recitals 112 to 123),
Nova merila uporabe, sporočena v dopisu A/34747 z dne 25. junija 2004, kakor so bila spremenjena in dopolnjena z dopisom A/34426 z dne 2. junija 2005, izpolnjujejo pogoje, ki so potrebni, da bi se ta merila obravnavala kot združljiva s skupnim trgom, kakor je bilo za vsak primer posebej navedeno v delu VI.4 (točke 112 do123) –
The implementation criteria for Provincial Law No 4/97, adopted by Resolution No 4607 of 17 December 2001, are illegal because of the failure to notify the Commission in accordance with Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Merila za uporabo Pokrajinskega zakona 4/97, sprejeta z Odlokom 4607 z dne 17. decembra 2001, so nezakonita, ker o tem ni bila prej obveščena Komisija v smislu člena 88(3) Pogodbe.
This means that the implementation of aid scheme N192/1997 was unlawful, as was, indirectly, that of scheme NN69/1995.
Posledica tega je bila nepravilna uporaba sheme pomoči N 192/1997 in posredno sheme NN 69/1995.
The following aid measures provided for in Resolution 4607/2001 are incompatible with the common market:
S skupnim trgom so nezdružljive naslednje pomoči, predvidene z Odlokom 4607/2001:
all investment aid for large enterprises;
vse pomoči za naložbe za velika podjetja;
aid for SMEs that was granted for replacement investment and the portion of any investment aid grant which is over the 15 % gross aid-intensity threshold in the case of small enterprises and the 7,5 % threshold in the case of medium-sized enterprises;
pomoči za MSP, dodeljene v zvezi z nadomestnimi naložbami, in vse pomoči za naložbe za del, ki presega prag 15 % bruto intenzivnosti pomoči za majhna podjetja in 7,5 % za srednje velika podjetja;
investment aid for microenterprises, other than that provided for in Article 3, which is in excess of a gross aid intensity of 15 %;
pomoči za naložbe za mikro podjetja, ki se razlikujejo od pomoči, navedenih v členu 3, za del, ki presega 15 % bruto intenzivnosti pomoči;
following the entry into force of the new Community guidelines on state aid for environmental protection and the acceptance by the Member State of the proposal for appropriate measures to adapt the schemes previously approved in accordance with point 77 of the guidelines referred to above, namely from 1 January 2002:
ker so začele veljati nove smernice Skupnosti o državnih pomočeh za varstvo okolja in ker je država članica sprejela predlog za ustrezne ukrepe za uskladitev svojih obstoječih shem v smislu točke 77 zgoraj navedenih smernic, kar pomeni od 1. januarja 2002:
i. the portion of environmental protection investment aid to help adjustment to new mandatory Community standards that have recently entered into force which is over the 15 % gross aid-intensity threshold in the case of SMEs, and without exception where the recipients are large enterprises.
i. pomoči za naložbe za varstvo okolja, za prilagoditev obveznim standardom Skupnosti, ki so začeli veljati na novo, za del, ki presega prag 15 % bruto intenzivnosti pomoči – če gre za pomoči za MSP – in če so upravičena le velika podjetja,
investment aid for environmental protection for the purpose of improving on mandatory Community standards, or in the absence of such standards, for the portion in excess of the gross aid intensity of 30 % in the case of large enterprises (40 % for SMEs);
pomoči za naložbe za varstvo okolja, za izboljšanje obveznih standardov Skupnosti ali v primeru, kadar takih standardov ni, za del, ki presega bruto intenzivnost pomoči 30 % za velika podjetja (40 % za MSP),
all aid for environment-related consultancy/advisory activities for large enterprises;
vse pomoči za dejavnosti pomoči in svetovanja v okoljskem sektorju, namenjene velikim podjetjem;
aid to enterprises for internationalisation, except aid that is confined to SMEs for an enterprise's first participation in a fair or exhibition, and aid that satisfies the criteria set out in the Commission communication on short-term export-credit insurance;
pomoči za internacionalizacijo podjetij, razen pomoči za prvo udeležbo podjetja na sejmu ali razstavi, kar je omejeno na MSP, in pomoči, ki izpolnjujejo merila, določena v sporočilu Komisije o kratkoročnem zavarovanju izvoznih kreditov;
contributions described as ‘employment aid’ (consisting in fact of aid for consultancy/advisory services and for the cost of registering trademarks) received by large enterprises;
prispevki, imenovani „pomoči za zaposlovanje“ (dejansko sestavljeni iz pomoči za storitve pomoči in svetovanja, in za stroške, povezane s pridobivanjem patentov in registracijo blagovnih znamk), do katerih naj bi bila upravičena velika podjetja;
all aid for consultancy services received by large enterprises;
vse pomoči za storitve svetovanja, do katerih naj bi bila upravičena velika podjetja;
aid of an intensity of 80 % granted for joint projects under Community programmes, the recipients of which include enterprises.
pomoči z intenzivnostjo 80 %, dodeljene za skupne projekte v okviru programov Skupnosti, kadar so med upravičenci tudi podjetja.
The measures provided for in the new implementation criteria for scheme N192/97, notified by letter A/34747 of 25 June 2004, amended and supplemented by letter A/34426 of 2 June 2005 for microenterprises employing no more than two persons engaged in specific craft activities corresponding to typical traditional trades threatened with extinction and to local activities in the distributive sector, exhaustively listed in the implementation criteria referred to above, do not constitute aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty.
Ukrepi, predvideni v novih merilih za uporabo sheme N192/97, posredovanih z dopisom A/34747 z dne 25. junija 2004, kakor so bila spremenjena in dopolnjena z dopisom A/34426 z dne 2. junija 2005, za mikro podjetja z največ dvema zaposlenima osebama, ki opravljajo določene obrtne dejavnosti, ki zajemajo izginjajoče tradicionalne poklice, in nekatere lokalne dejavnosti v trgovinskem sektorju, natančno naštete v besedilu navedenih meril za uporabo, niso pomoči v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe.
Measures other than those referred to in Article 3 that are provided for in the new implementation criteria for scheme N192/97, notified by letter A/34747 of 25 June 2004, amended and supplemented by letter A/34426 of 2 June 2005, are compatible with the common market.
Ukrepi, ki se razlikujejo od ukrepov, določenih v členu 3, predvideni v novih merilih za uporabo sheme N192/97, posredovanih z dopisom A/34747 z dne 25. junija 2004, kakor so bila spremenjena in dopolnjena z dopisom A/34426 z dne 2. junija 2005, so združljivi s skupnim trgom.
Italy shall take all necessary measures to recover from the recipients any illegal and incompatible aid referred to in Article 2.
Italija sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe za vračilo nezakonitih in nezdružljivih pomoči iz člena 2 od prejemnikov, če so jim bile dane na razpolago.
Italy shall suspend all payments of incompatible aid from the date of notification of this Decision.
Italija ustavi vsa nakazila nezdružljivih pomoči od datuma te odločbe.
Recovery shall be effected without delay and in accordance with the procedures of national law provided that they allow the immediate and effective enforcement of this Decision.
Vračilo se izvrši brez odlašanja v skladu s postopki po nacionalnem pravu, če omogočajo takojšnjo in učinkovito izvedbo te odločbe.
The aid to be recovered shall include interest charged from the date on which it was at the disposal of the recipients until the date of its recovery.
Pomoči, ki jih je treba vrniti, se povečajo za zapadle obresti od datuma, ko so bile pomoči dane na razpolago upravičencem, do datuma njihovega dejanskega vračila.
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of Chapter V of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 of 21 April 2004 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty.
Obresti se izračunajo na podlagi določb iz Naslova V Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 z dne 21. aprila 2004 o izvajanju Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 93 Pogodbe ES.
Within two months of the date of notification of this Decision, Italy shall order all the recipients of the aid referred to in Article 2 to repay the aid unlawfully granted with interest calculated as described above.
Italija naloži vsem upravičencem do pomoči iz člena 2, da vrnejo nezakonite pomoči in obresti, izračunane kot je prikazano zgoraj, v dveh mesecih od datuma uradnega obvestila o tej odločbi.
Within two months of the date of notification of this Decision, Italy shall inform the Commission of the measures taken to comply with it by completing the questionnaire annexed hereto.
V dveh mesecih od datuma uradnega obvestila o tej odločbi mora Italija sporočiti Komisiji, kakšne ukrepe je predvidela in sprejela za uskladitev, tako da izpolni vprašalnik, priložen k tej odločbi.
In particular, Italy shall, by the same deadline, send a complete list of all the aid measures referred to in this Decision, giving for each measure a breakdown of the amount granted, the amount compatible as a result of one of the cited exemptions, and the amount to be recovered.
Italija mora v istem roku predložiti popoln seznam vseh ukrepov pomoči, obravnavanih v tej odločbi, v katerem za vsako pomoč posebej navede dodeljeni znesek, združljivi znesek na podlagi navedenih izjem in znesek vračila.
Finally, again by the same deadline, Italy shall send all the documents demonstrating that it has initiated the procedures for recovering the unlawful aid from the recipients.
V istem roku mora Italija predložiti vse dokumente, ki dokazujejo, da so bili sproženi postopki za vračilo proti prejemnikom nezakonitih in nezdružljivih pomoči.

Please describe in detail what measures are planned and what measures have already been taken to effect an immediate and effective recovery of the aid.
Natančno navedite, kateri ukrepi so predvideni in kateri so bili že sprejeti za takojšnjo in učinkovito vračilo pomoči.
Please also indicate where relevant the legal basis for the measures taken/planned.
Navedite zakonsko podlago za navedene ukrepe.
By what date will the recovery of the aid be completed?
Do katerega datuma bo izterjava v celoti zaključena?
Information by individual recipient
Informacije o posameznih prejemnikih
Please provide details for each recipient from whom unlawful aid granted under the scheme is to be recovered in the table below:
V spodnjo razpredelnico vnesite naslednje podatke za vsakega prejemnika, od katerega se zahteva vračilo nezakonite pomoči, dodeljene na podlagi sheme pomoči:
Amount of unlawful aid granted [1]Currency: …
Znesek nezakonite pomoči, ki mu je bil dodeljen [1]Valuta:…
Amounts reimbursed [2]Currency: …
Znesek vrnjene pomoči [2]Valuta:….
Amount of aid put at the disposal of the recipient (in gross aid equivalents).
znesek, dan na razpolago upravičencu (bruto ekvivalent subvencije)
Gross amounts reimbursed (including interest).
vrnjeni bruto zneski (skupaj z obrestmi)
In this case the first condition is satisfied as the measure is financed from the budget of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano — i.e. with public resources; the second because only enterprises operating in the Province of Bolzano receive the aid; the third because the financial situation of the recipients is improved; and the fourth because the firms concerned may in fact engage in international trade, since they are in a border region that is also very active in tourism.
V danem primeru je izpolnjen prvi pogoj, ker se ukrep financira iz proračuna avtonomne pokrajine Bolzano – torej iz javnih virov –, drugi zato, ker so do pomoči upravičena le podjetja, ki poslujejo na ozemlju pokrajine Bolzano, tretji, ker iz tega izhaja, da se je finančni položaj upravičencev okrepil, in četrti, ker zadevna podjetja lahko v resnici opravljajo mednarodne gospodarske dejavnosti glede na to, da so v obmejni pokrajini, ki je poleg tega zelo aktivna v turističnem sektorju.
Therefore the measures in question are liable to affect trade between Member States, subject to the assessment of the measures resulting from the application of new criteria in favour of specific microenterprises, which is dealt with in recital 116.
Zadevni ukrepi so zato takšni, da lahko vplivajo na trgovino med državami članicami, ne da bi to škodilo oceni ukrepov na podlagi uporabe novih meril, ugodnih za nekatera mikro podjetja, iz točke 116 te odločbe.
The Commission deplores the fact that the implementation criteria for Provincial Law No 4/97, adopted by Resolution 4607 of 17 December 2001, were enacted by Italy (Autonomous Province of Bolzano) without prior notification to the Commission, in violation of Article 88(3) of the Treaty, and so are illegal.
Komisija obžaluje, da merila za uporabo Pokrajinskega zakona 4/97, sprejeta z Odlokom 4607 z dne 17. decembra 2001, ki jih je uporabila avtonomna pokrajina Bolzano v Italiji niso bila prej priglašena Komisiji ter tako pomenijo kršitev člena 88(3) Pogodbe in so zato protizakonita.
This was a misuse of aid scheme N192/97 (and also, indirectly, of scheme NN69/95) within the meaning of Article 16 of Regulation 659/99.
Zaradi tega je prišlo do zlorabe sheme pomoči N192/97 (in posredno tudi sheme NN69/95) v smislu člena 16 Uredbe 659/99.
As to the aid for internationalisation, the Commission notes that the new implementation criteria notified to it provide only for aid of an intensity up to 50 % for the costs of consultancy services supplied by external consultants and for the costs incurred in a first participation in a given fair or exhibition, and that the aid is confined to SMEs. This complies with Article 5 of Regulation 70/2001.
V zvezi s pomočmi za internacionalizacijo Komisija opozarja, da je v novih predloženih merilih za uporabo ostala le pomoč z intenzivnostjo 50 %, ki se nanaša na stroške storitev svetovanja, ki jih nudijo zunanji svetovalci, in stroške v zvezi s prvo udeležbo na določenem sejmu ali razstavi, ki so namenjeni le za MSP, kar je v skladu s členom 5 Uredbe 70/2001.
As long as aid was not granted to excluded sectors or export-related activities, and no aid was subordinated to the preferential use of domestic rather than imported products, the de minimis rule could be applied to the aid in question in accordance with Regulation 69/2001, provided that the aid did not exceed the EUR 100000 threshold for any one enterprise over the relevant three-year period. Therefore such aid does not come under article 87(1) of the Treaty.
Ker od tega niso imeli ugodnosti niti izključeni sektorji niti dejavnosti, povezane z izvozom, in ker ni bila predvidena nobena pomoč, ki bi dajala prednost uporabi nacionalnih proizvodov pred uvoženimi proizvodi, se lahko za zadevne pomoči uporabi pravilo de minimis v smislu Uredbe št. 69/2001, če vsako posamično podjetje v ustreznem obdobju treh let ne preseže praga v višini 100000 EUR. Za takšne pomoči se zato člen 87(1) Pogodbe ne uporablja.
