Owing to difficulties in finding a new interested operator and to complicated legal problems that had to be resolved between Renaissance Financial's receivers, the owners, the French Government and the new operator, it took almost a year for the ships to be put back into service.
Ob upoštevanju težav, ki so nastale pri iskanju novega zainteresiranega najemnika, in zapletenih pravnih težav, ki jih je bilo treba rešiti med stečajnim upraviteljem podjetja Renaissance Financial, lastnikoma, francosko vlado in novim najemnikom, je minilo skoraj leto, da sta potniški ladji začeli ponovno obratovati.
Therefore, the fact that the ships were not operated for almost one year and the resulting loss of development effects for FPO can be linked to the situation of force majeure created by the event of 11 September 2001.
Zato se dejstvo, da potniški ladji skoraj leto nista obratovali, in posledična izguba učinkov na razvoj Francoske Polinezije lahko povežeta s stanjem višje sile, ki so ga ustvarili dogodki 11. septembra 2001.
The second effect of 11 September 2001 was to influence, in the short and medium term, the cruise industry by, on the one hand, obliging companies to lower prices in a bid to keep their customers and, on the other, making potential clients more reluctant to travel long distances by plane.
Druga posledica 11. septembra 2001 je bila, da je kratko- in srednjeročno vplival na dejavnost križarjenj, saj je na eni strani družbe prisilil k znižanju cen, da so lahko obdržale stranke, na drugi strani pa so morebitne stranke bile manj pripravljene potovati z letali na dolge razdalje.
Since FPO is a long way from the United States and Europe, operating cruise ships there became more difficult from a financial point of view.
Ker leži Francoska Polinezija daleč od Združenih držav in Evrope, je s finančnega vidika tam postalo težje gospodariti z ladjami za križarjenje.
While this effect can now be considered to be over, it was discernible until 2003.
Če lahko ta vpliv sedaj štejemo za preteklost, je bil očiten do leta 2003.
On the basis of the above observations, the Commission considers that the period during which the ships could not be operated owing to the events linked to the terrorist attacks does not have to be offset and can therefore be deducted from the development effect needed to justify the aid.
Na podlagi pripomb, navedenih zgoraj, Komisija meni, da obdobje, ko potniški ladji nista obratovali in ki ga lahko pripišemo okoliščinam, povezanim s terorističnimi napadi, ni treba nadomestiti in se zato lahko odšteje od zahtevanega vpliva na razvoj za utemeljitev pomoči.
Development effects
Vpliv na razvoj
The Commission has assessed the development effects of the use of the ships and compared them with what was originally intended.
Komisija je ocenila vplive uporabe ladij na razvoj in jih primerjala s tistim, kar je bilo prvotno načrtovano.
The Commission agrees with the French request that the development effects of the two ships should be assessed together since both ships were jointly assessed in Decision 1999/719/EC.
Komisija sprejema zahtevo Francije, po kateri bi bilo treba vplive obeh potniških ladij na razvoj oceniti skupaj, saj sta bili obe ladji predmet skupne presoje v Odločbi 1999/719/ES.
Furthermore, from a development point of view, it is the aggregate development effect that is of relevance and not the question as to which of the two ships accounted for that effect.
Poleg tega je z vidika razvoja pomemben skupni vpliv in ne vprašanje, kateri ladji ga lahko pripišemo.
However, the Commission does not take the view that the development effects in all the regions eligible for development aid should be taken into account since the original decision concerned only development effects in FPO.
Kljub temu pa Komisija ni mnenja, da bi bilo treba upoštevati razvojne učinke na vseh območjih, ki so lahko upravičena do pomoči za razvoj, glede na to, da se je prvotna odločba nanašala samo na razvojne učinke v Francoski Polineziji.
Taking into account effects in other regions or countries would be tantamount to altering the original objective of the aid.
Dejstvo, da se upoštevajo vplivi na drugih območjih ali državah, bi povzročilo spremembo prvotnega cilja, dodeljenega pomoči.
In the original decision the Commission based its approval of the aid on estimations of annual spending of some EUR 44 million for the two ships, or 5 × EUR 44 million = EUR 220 million over the five‐year period.
Komisija je v prvotni odločbi svojo odobritev pomoči temeljila na ocenjenih letnih izdatkih v višini približno 44 milijonov EUR za obe potniški ladji, kar je 5 x 44 = 220 milijonov EUR za obdobje petih let.
If the time lost as a result of the 11 September events (one year) is deducted, the development effects that would be needed to comply with the original decision would be 4 years × EUR 44 million = EUR 176 million. The spending generated in FPO by the operation of the ships, currently put at EUR 175,5 million, is virtually equal to that amount.
Če odštejemo izgubljeni čas po dogodkih 11. septembra (eno leto), bi vplivi na razvoj, ki bi bili potrebni, da bi bila prvotna odločba izpolnjena, naslednji: 4 leta x 44 = 176 milijonov EUR. Izdatki, ki jih je v Francoski Polineziji prinesla uporaba ladij in so trenutno izračunani na 175,5 milijona EUR, so praktično enaki temu znesku.
It can therefore be concluded that, taking account of the situation of force majeure created by the attacks of 11 September 2001, the ships will, by virtue of their currently known past and future use, have generated a development effect similar to what was originally anticipated.
Zato lahko sklenemo, da bosta potniški ladji ob upoštevanju stanja višje sile, ki so ga ustvarili napadi 11. septembra 2001, s svojo preteklo in trenutno znano uporabo v prihodnosti imeli podoben vpliv na razvoj, kot je bilo pričakovano na začetku.
Accordingly, the Commission considers that the particular development effect of the aid is ensured, that the conditions for authorising the aid are thus met and that the aid has therefore not been misused.
Komisija zato meni, da je poseben razvojni učinek pomoči zajamčen, da so torej pogoji za odobritev pomoči izpolnjeni in da potemtakem pomoč ni bila zlorabljena.
CONCLUSION
Sklep
The Commission finds that France has, in breach of Article 88(3) of the Treaty, unlawfully changed the conditions governing the development aid authorised for the construction of two ships.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je Francija s kršitvijo člena 88(3) Pogodbe nezakonito spremenila pogoje, ki veljajo za pomoč za razvoj, odobreno za gradnjo dveh potniških ladij.
However, since the development effects for FPO, taking into account the time lost for reasons of force majeure, are equivalent to what was originally intended, the aid is compatible with the common market and, in particular, with the rules governing development aid for the shipbuilding sector,
Vseeno pa je glede na to, da so vplivi na razvoj Francoske Polinezije ob upoštevanju izgubljenega časa zaradi višje sile enaki, kot je bilo pričakovano na začetku, pomoč združljiva s skupnim trgom in zlasti s pravili, ki urejajo pomoči za razvoj v sektorju ladjedelništva –
The Sate aid which France has implemented as development aid for the construction of the cruise ships Pacific Princess (formerly R3) and Tahitian Princess (formerly R4), in the form of tax concessions, is compatible with the common market under Article 87(3)(e) of the Treaty.
Državna pomoč Francije kot pomoč za razvoj za gradnjo potniških ladij Pacific Princess (nekdanja R3) in Tahitian Princess (nekdanja R4) v obliki davčnih olajšav je v skladu s členom 87(3)(e) Pogodbe združljiva s skupnim trgom.

Although the ships were not operated for one year, they were maintained and, according to France, generated around EUR 8,5 million in local spending in FPO, in the form of crew costs (even a ship not in operation needs a crew to look after it), fuel and technical maintenance costs, port fees, etc.
Čeprav ladji eno leto nista obratovali, sta bili vzdrževani in sta po podatkih Francije povzročili okoli 8,5 milijona EUR lokalnih izdatkov v Francoski Polineziji v obliki izdatkov za posadko (čeprav ladja ne obratuje, mora imeti posadko, da jo vzdržuje), gorivo, tehnično vzdrževanje, pristaniške dajatve itd.

Cooperativa Agricola Moderna Scrl is one of the undertakings eligible to receive the rescue aid examined and approved by the Commission in case N 354/2000 [3].
Cooperativa Agricola Moderna s. c. r. l. (sodobna kmetijska zadruga) je eno od podjetij, ki so upravičena do pomoči za reševanje, ki jo je Komisija obravnavala in odobrila v dokumentu št. N 354/2000 [3].
The approving decision makes provision for converting the rescue aid into restructuring aid provided that within six months of the aid being authorised Italy submits a restructuring plan for the undertaking, in accordance with point 23 of the Community Guidelines on State aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty (hereafter “the Guidelines”) [4].
V odločbi o odobritvi je predvideno preoblikovanje pomoči za reševanje v pomoč za prestrukturiranje pod pogojem, da Italija v roku šestih mesecev od odobritve pomoči predloži načrt za prestrukturiranje podjetja v skladu z določbami točke 23 Smernic Skupnosti o državni pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah (v nadaljnjem besedilu „Smernice“) [4].
The Italian authorities sent notification of the restructuring plan in accordance with the commitment made.
Ob izvajanju te naloge so italijanski organi priglasili načrt za prestrukturiranje zadruge.
This Decision therefore focuses on the restructuring aid.
Ta odločba zato obravnava pomoč za prestrukturiranje.
In line with the restructuring plan, the rescue aid disbursed, amounting to ITL 900000000 (€ 464810), was converted into a subsidy in the form of a capital grant.
V načrtu za prestrukturiranje se je izplačana pomoč za reševanje v znesku 900000000 ITL (464810 EUR) preoblikovala v subvencijo v obliki nepovratnih kapitalskih sredstev.
Description of the undertaking
Opis podjetja
Cooperativa Agricola Moderna Scrl is a small-scale cooperative society comprising 69 partners specialising in wine and cereal growing (primary production).
Cooperativa Agricola Moderna s. c. r. l. je manjša zadruga, ki jo sestavlja 69 partnerjev ter se ukvarja z vinogradništvom in pridelavo žita (primarna pridelava).
It currently manages 75 hectares which it owns and 207 hectares which it leases, and receives the production from a further 178 hectares.
Zdaj upravlja 75 ha lastne posesti, 207 ha zemljišča ima v najemu in sprejema pridelke s 178 ha zemljišča.
Market study
Tržna raziskava
According to the Italian authorities, Cooperativa Agricola Moderna Scrl’s main activity is the production of grapes for winemaking (80% of its gross saleable production).
Italijanski organi menijo, da je poglavitna dejavnost zadruge pridelava grozdja za vinarstvo (80 % njene bruto prodajne proizvodnje).
The market concerned is the wine market.
Zadevni trg je zato vinski trg.
The total wine production of the Marche Region, which has a surface area of 23500 hectares, 13000 of which produce wine with a registered designation of origin, is ITL 147 billion.
Skupna vinska proizvodnja dežele Marke, ki ima 23500 ha vinogradniških površin, od tega na 13000 ha goji sorte z registriranim geografskim poreklom, je 147 milijard ITL.
With its 125 hectares of vineyards, Cooperativa Agricola Moderna Scrl covers 0,53% of the total surface area in the region devoted to wine growing and 0,96% of that dedicated to wine with a registered designation of origin and it accounts for 0,38% of the region’s average production (data from the last three years).
S 125 ha vinogradov ima zadruga 0,53 % vinogradniških površin celotne dežele in 0,96 % površin s sortami z registriranim geografskim poreklom ter proizvede 0,38 % povprečne deželne proizvodnje (podatki za zadnje tri leta).
The current trends in the wine sector are towards the consumption of better quality wine (the consumption of wine with a registered designation of origin is increasing and the consumption of table wine is decreasing [5].
Zdajšnji trendi na tem področju se usmerjajo k uporabi vina boljše kakovosti (povečala se je poraba vina z registriranim geografskim poreklom (DOC), medtem ko se je poraba namiznega vina zmanjšala [5]).
The international markets are growing all the time and the reputation of Italian wine abroad is improving even though it has to face vigorous competition from traditional producers and other emerging countries in the sector.
Mednarodni trg postaja vse bolj pomemben, sloves italijanskih vrst vina v tujini se veča, čeprav se morajo soočati z močno konkurenco tradicionalnih proizvajalcev in novonastalo konkurenco drugih držav v tem sektorju.
Almost three quarters of Italian wine firms export abroad: these are generally small and medium-sized undertakings with an annual turnover of less than 50 billion.
Skoraj tri četrtine vinogradniških podjetij izvaža v tujino: večinoma so to mala in srednje velika podjetja z letnim dobičkom, nižjim od 50 milijard.
Marche Region wines with a registered designation of origin have good prospects of success.
Vino z registriranim geografskim poreklom iz dežele Marke ima dobro možnost za uspeh.
The Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi wine, which has been judged one of the best Italian white wines, is, together with Rosso Conero, one of the most popular Marche Region wines in Italy and throughout the world.
Vino Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi, ki se uvršča med najboljše italijanske vrste belega vina, je skupaj z vinom Rosso Conero eno od najbolj cenjenih vrst vina iz dežele Marke v Italiji in po svetu.
The quantity exported amounts to 30% [6].
Izvozni delež je 30 % [6].
Its future prospects in the context of the restructuring reveal a moderately optimistic view of developments in the wine market, anticipating no slump in the demand for high-quality wines produced in restricted geographical areas.
Glede na načrt za prestrukturiranje se pričakuje zmerna optimistična napoved razvoja vinskega trga, ki ne predvideva krize povpraševanja po kakovostnem vinu iz geografsko omejenih območij.
Cooperativa Agricola Moderna Scrl’s restructuring plan provides for a proportion of production to be converted to wines of that kind.
Načrt za prestrukturiranje zadruge Cooperativa Moderna predvideva delno preoblikovanje za proizvodnjo takšnega vina.
Source of Cooperativa Agricola Moderna Scrl’s difficulties
Izvor težav zadruge
According to the Italian authorities, the cooperative’s financial difficulties are due to:
Italijanski organi menijo, da so vzrok za finančne težave zadruge:
Excessive financial costs associated with financing investments through short-term loans.
prekomerni finančni stroški, povezani s financiranjem naložb prek kratkoročnih posojil;
A constant downward trend in market prices not linked with similar reductions in production costs (manpower, technology).
stalno upadanje tržnih cen, ki ni povezano s podobnim zniževanjem proizvodnih stroškov (delovna sila, tehnična sredstva).
The low level of mechanisation of production and the age of certain vineyards in particular cannot assure adequate profit margins.
Zlasti pomanjkanje mehanizacije proizvodnje in starost nekaterih vinogradov ne zagotavljata zadostnega dohodka;
Insufficient reserves.
nezadostne rezerve.
The depreciation fund reserves over the last five years have not been sufficient in relation to the useful lifetime of equipment, and this has exacerbated the financial situation.
V zadnjih petih letih so bila amortizacijska sredstva nižja, kot bi bila potrebna glede na življenjsko dobo opreme, kar je še poslabšalo finančno stanje;
Natural disasters.
naravne nesreče.
The poor weather conditions which marked the 1998-1999 season (hail) and the 1999-2000 season (hail and drought) caused losses which were only partially offset by the insurance cover and were not eligible for compensatory aid under any national or regional schemes.
Neugodne vremenske razmere, ki so zaznamovale sezoni 1998/1999 (toča) in 1999/2000 (toča in suša), so povzročile izgubo, ki se je le delno izplačala iz zavarovalniških polic in ki ni bila upravičena do nobenega nadomestila iz nacionalne ali deželne sheme;
Investment in new vineyard equipment for which the public funding turned out to be considerably less than the maximum amount laid down by Community legislation.
naložbe v novo vinogradniško opremo, pri katerih je bila javna pomoč znatno nižja od najvišje stopnje, predvidene v zakonodaji Skupnosti.
The Region had set the ceiling for eligible expenditure at ITL 17000000 per hectare and the rate of aid at 35%.
Dežela je določila zgornjo mejo dopustnih stroškov, ki je 17000000 ITL na hektar, in stopnjo pomoči, ki je 35 %.
In steeply sloping areas the equipment costs considerably exceeded this ceiling (ITL 32000000 per hectare).
Na strmih območjih so stroški za opremo znatno presegli to zgornjo mejo (32000000 ITL na hektar).
Cooperativa Agricola Moderna Scrl’s debt burden
