The maximum aid intensity for large companies of 30 % is not respected by the scheme.
Shema ne upošteva največje intenzivnosti pomoči, ki za velika podjetja znaša 30 %.
Moreover, operating aid for relocation is not excluded.
Poleg tega pri preselitvah ne izključuje pomoči za tekoče poslovanje.
As regards the expenditure for the establishment and expansion of facilities to produce raw and other materials from packaging and products already consumed, the scheme does not exclude that the aid will be used for recycling materials from sources external to the beneficiary.
Glede odhodkov za vzpostavitev in nadgradnjo naprav za proizvodnjo surovin in drugih materialov iz embalaže in že porabljenih izdelkov shema ne izključuje uporabe pomoči za recikliranje materialov iz virov, ki niso od upravičenca.
This is not in line with the ‘polluter pays’ principle, which requires that an undertaking invests to improve its own environmental record, and to reduce its own pollution [118].
To ni v skladu z načelom „onesnaževalec plača“, po katerem podjetje izvede naložbo, da izboljša svoje zapise o okolju in zmanjša svoje onesnaževanje [118].
Consequently, the Environmental Guidelines are not applicable to the establishment and expansion of recycling facilities that will be used for recycling materials from sources external to the beneficiary.
Zato se okoljske smernice ne uporabljajo za vzpostavitev in nadgradnjo naprav za recikliranje, ki se bodo uporabljale za recikliranje materialov iz virov, ki niso od upravičenca.
In the absence of the possibility to assess this measure under the Environmental Guidelines, the Commission assessed it directly under the Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty.
Ker Komisija ni imela možnosti, da bi ta ukrep ocenila na podlagi okoljskih smernic, ga je ocenila neposredno na podlagi člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES.
In the past, it has been the Commission’s practice to assess such cases under three additional criteria: (1) the aid should not relieve the original polluters from a burden they would have to bear under Community law, (2) the treated materials would otherwise not be collected or would be treated in a less environmentally friendly way, (3) the projects should be innovative, i.e. the technologies should go ‘beyond the state of the art’ [119].
V preteklosti je Komisija take primere ocenjevala po treh dodatnih merilih: (1) pomoč prvotnih onesnaževalcev ne sme razbremeniti njihovih obveznosti, ki jih imajo po pravu Skupnosti, (2) obdelani materiali v nasprotnem primeru ne bi bili zbrani ali bi bili obdelani do okolja manj prijazno, (3) projekti morajo biti inovativni, tj. uporabljena tehnologija mora biti „sodobnejša od stanja tehnike“ [119].
The scheme does not ensure that aid for expenditure for the establishment and expansion of facilities to produce raw and other materials from packaging and products already consumed fulfils the three above mentioned additional criteria.
V skladu s shemo pomoč za odhodke za vzpostavitev in nadgradnjo naprav za proizvodnjo surovin in drugih materialov iz embalaže in že porabljenih izdelkov ne izpolnjuje nujno treh zgoraj omenjenih dodatnih meril.
Furthermore, it is not excluded that operating aid may be granted in the framework of the introduction and adaptation of environmental technologies.
Poleg tega ni izključena dodelitev pomoči za tekoče poslovanje za uvedbo in prilagoditev okoljskih tehnologij.
This aid could be justified only if it was given for waste management, energy saving, renewable energy or combined heat and power production.
Ta pomoč bi bila lahko upravičena samo, če bi bila dodeljena za ravnanje z odpadki, varčevanje z energijo, obnovljivo energijo ali sočasno proizvodnjo toplote in električne energije.
The aid would have to fulfil the conditions under points 43 to 67 of the environmental guidelines.
Pomoč bi morala izpolnjevati pogoje iz točk od 43 do 67 okoljskih smernic.
However, the measure neither directs operating aid to the defined purposes nor follows the relevant conditions.
Vendar pa na podlagi ukrepa pomoč za tekoče poslovanje ni dodeljena za opredeljene namene in ukrep tudi ne izpolnjuje ustreznih pogojev.
The doubts expressed by the Commission during the opening of the procedure provided for in Article 88(2) of the Treaty persist, therefore the scheme cannot be declared compatible.
Komisija ima še vedno pomisleke, ki jih je imela ob sprožitvi postopka na podlagi člena 88(2) Pogodbe, zato sheme ne more razglasiti za združljivo.
Consequently, the Commission notes that the scheme does not respect the above mentioned conditions of the Environmental Guidelines or that of Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty as follows from the Commission's practice, and hence, is incompatible under the Environmental Guidelines and Article 87(3)(c) of the EC treaty.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da shema ne izpolnjuje zgoraj omenjenih pogojev okoljskih smernic ali člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES, kot izhaja iz prakse Komisije, in zato ni skladna na podlagi okoljskih smernic in člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES.
Moreover, the Commission has looked into all points of the Environmental Guidelines and Commission practice under Article 87(3)(c) and found that the Greek authorities did not demonstrate that any individual aid would be from the moment of its granting compatible under these Guidelines or the Commission's practice under Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty [120].
Poleg tega je Komisija preučila vse točke okoljskih smernic in svoje prakse v skladu s členom 87(3)(c) in ugotovila, da grški organi niso dokazali, da bi bila katera koli posamezna pomoč od svoje dodelitve skladna na podlagi teh smernic ali prakse Komisije v skladu s členom 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES [120].
Compatibility under the R&D Framework
Skladnost na podlagi okvira R&R
According to the last indent of Section 10.3 of the Community Framework for State aid for Research and Development and Innovation from 30.12.2006 [121], the framework applied for the assessment of unlawful State aid is that in force when the aid was granted, i.e. the R&D Framework [122].
V skladu z zadnjo alineo člena 10.3 Okvira Skupnosti za državno pomoč za raziskave in razvoj ter inovacije z dne 30.12.2006 [121] je Komisija za oceno nezakonite državne pomoči uporabila veljavni okvir v času, ko je bila pomoč dodeljena, tj. okvir R&R [122].
Some projects are possibly related to research and development activities and, therefore, the Commission considered them also in the context of the R&D Framework.
Nekateri projekti so po možnosti povezani z raziskovalnimi in razvojnimi dejavnostmi, zato jih je Komisija preučila tudi glede na okvir R&R.
These are the establishment, extension or modernisation of laboratories for applied research, further development of software, studies for implementation of new technology, innovation and innovative prototypes, and patent registration.
Med njimi so ustanovitev, dozidava ali posodobitev laboratorijev za uporabne raziskave, nadaljnji razvoj programske opreme, študije za uvajanje nove tehnologije, inovacije in inovativni prototipi ter registracija patentov.
The Commission notes that aid for the above mentioned projects may fall within the material scope of the R&D Framework, only insofar as these projects consist of research activities as defined in Annex I to the R&D Framework.
Komisija ugotavlja, da pomoč za zgoraj omenjene projekte na pomembno področje uporabe okvira R&R lahko spada samo v obsegu, v katerem ti projekti vključujejo raziskovalne dejavnosti, kot so opredeljene v Prilogi I k okviru R&R.
Moreover, the Commission considers that they do not exclusively cover research and development as defined in Annex I to the R&D Framework.
Poleg tega Komisija meni, da projekti ne pokrivajo izključno raziskav in razvoja, kot sta opredeljena v Prilogi I k okviru R&R.
From the wording of the law, eligible costs under the measure do not necessarily have to correspond to those under the R&D Framework.
Iz besedila zakona izhaja, da ni nujno, da upravičeni stroški v skladu z ukrepom ustrezajo upravičenim stroškom v skladu z okvirom R&R.
Furthermore, where the research projects or patent developments receiving aid concern pre-competitive development, the generally applicable aid intensity ceiling of Greece of 35 % (25 % basic intensity + 10 % for Article 87(3)a regions) is exceeded where no extra bonuses are applicable, because the maximum aid intensity under the measure is up to 37,05 % and 36,89 % for 2004 and 2005 respectively.
Poleg tega je zgornja meja intenzivnosti pomoči, ki se na splošno uporablja za Grčijo in znaša 35 % (25 % osnovna intenzivnost + 10 % za območja iz člena 87(3)(a)), kadar se raziskovalni projekti ali razvoj patentov, za katere se prejema pomoč, nanašajo na predkonkurenčni razvoj, pri katerem se ne uporabljajo dodatne premije, presežena, saj je največja intenzivnost pomoči v skladu z ukrepom do 37,05 % za leto 2004 oziroma do 36,89 % za leto 2005.
According to State aid rules the cost of patent registration is not eligible for aid if the applicant is a large enterprise.
V skladu s pravili o državni pomoči stroški registracije patenta niso upravičeni do pomoči, če je prosilec veliko podjetje.
However, large enterprises are not excluded from receiving aid for patent registration under the scheme.
V skladu s shemo pa velika podjetja lahko prejmejo pomoč za registracijo patentov.
The incentive effect in the case of large undertakings must be established and verified before aid is granted.
Preden se pomoč dodeli velikim podjetjem, je treba ugotoviti in preveriti spodbujevalni učinek.
This condition under the R&D Framework was applicable to all R&D aid to large companies, including fiscal aid.
Ta pogoj okvira R&R se je uporabljal za vse pomoči R&R velikim podjetjem, vključno z davčno pomočjo.
However, the scheme does not provide for establishing the incentive effect before granting the aid.
Vendar pa shema ne predvideva, da se spodbujevalni učinek ugotavlja, preden se dodeli pomoč.
As the undertaking receiving aid was not obliged to increase the R&D activities, even the fact that it may in some undertakings result into increase of R&D activities cannot justify the incentive effect, because this may have been a result of factors external to the aid.
Ker podjetja, ki so prejemala pomoč, niso bila zavezana, povečati obseg dejavnosti R&R, tudi dejstvo, da bi bila posledica pomoči v nekaterih podjetjih lahko povečanje obsega dejavnosti R&R, ne more upravičiti spodbujevalnega učinka, saj bi bila to lahko posledica zunanjih dejavnikov in ne pomoči.
Moreover, in the sector of agriculture, no evidence of compliance with the four conditions listed in the Commission communication from 1998 amending the Community framework for State aid for research and development can be observed [123].
Poleg tega v kmetijskem sektorju ni mogoče najti dokazov, da so izpolnjeni štirje pogoji iz Sporočila Komisije iz leta 1998 o spremembi Okvira Skupnosti za državno pomoč za raziskave in razvoj [123].
Consequently, the Commission notes that the scheme does not respect the above mentioned conditions of the R&D Framework, and hence, is incompatible under the R&D Framework.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da ukrep ne izpolnjuje zgoraj omenjenih pogojev okvira R&R in tako ni skladen na podlagi tega okvira.
Moreover, no individual aid granted under the scheme to large companies was from the beginning subject to the condition of incentive effect.
Poleg tega nobena posamezna pomoč, ki je bila na podlagi te sheme dodeljena velikim podjetjem, od začetka ni bila pogojena s spodbujevalnim učinkom.
The Greek authorities did not demonstrate that any individual aid would be from the moment of its granting compatible under R&D Framework.
Grški organi niso dokazali, da je bila katera koli posamezna pomoč od svoje dodelitve skladna na podlagi okvira R&R.
Hence no individual aid granted under this scheme can be considered as compatible under the R&D Framework.
Zato se nobena posamezna pomoč, dodeljena na podlagi te sheme, ne more šteti za skladno na podlagi okvira R&R.
Compatibility under the Commission Regulation No 68/2001 (‘Training BER’)
Skladnost na podlagi Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 68/2001 („uredbe o skupinskih izjemah pri pomoči za usposabljanje“)
The Commission assessed the aid for training related to the introduction of process automation systems [124], software related training [125] and other training [126] under the Training BER.
Komisija je pomoč za usposabljanje, povezano z uvedbo sistemov za postopek avtomatizacije [124], usposabljanje za uporabo programske opreme [125] in drugo usposabljanje [126] ocenila na podlagi uredbe o skupinskih izjemah pri pomoči za usposabljanje.
From the wording of the law, it cannot be established whether the eligible costs under the measure correspond to those under the Training BER.
Iz besedila zakona ni mogoče ugotoviti, ali upravičeni stroški v skladu z ukrepom ustrezajo upravičenim stroškom v skladu z uredbo o skupinskih izjemah pri pomoči za usposabljanje.
Where the training receiving aid is company specific, the aid intensity ceiling for large companies of 35 % (25 % basic intensity + 10 % for Article 87(3)a regions) may be exceeded, because the maximum aid intensity under the measure is for years 2004 and 2005 up to 37,05 % and 36,89 % respectively.
Če je usposabljanje, za katero se prejema pomoč, posebno za to podjetje, je zgornja meja intenzivnosti pomoči za velika podjetja, ki znaša 35 % (25 % osnovna intenzivnost + 10 % za območja iz člena 87(3)(a)), lahko presežena, saj največja intenzivnost pomoči v skladu z ukrepom znaša do 37,05 % za leto 2004 oziroma 36,89 % za leto 2005.
Consequently, the Commission notes that the scheme does not respect the abovementioned conditions of the Training BER, and hence, cannot be considered compatible under the Training BER.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da ukrep ne izpolnjuje navedenih pogojev uredbe o skupinskih izjemah pri pomoči za usposabljanje in ga tako ni mogoče šteti za skladnega na podlagi uredbe o skupinskih izjemah pri pomoči za usposabljanje.
Compatibility under Commission Regulation No 70/2001 (‘SME BER’)
Skladnost na podlagi Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 70/2001 („uredbe o skupinskih izjemah pri pomoči za mala in srednje velika podjetja“)
The Commission notes that the measure does not make any difference between aid amounts or eligible sectors or projects depending on the size of the beneficiary.
Komisija ugotavlja, da ukrep ne predvideva razlikovanja pri višini pomoči ali upravičenih sektorjih in projektih na podlagi velikosti upravičenca.
Therefore, the measure cannot as a whole be considered compatible under the SME BER.
Zato se ukrep v celoti ne more šteti za skladnega na podlagi uredbe o skupinskih izjemah pri pomoči za mala in srednje velika podjetja.
However, where aid is granted under the measure to small- and medium-sized enterprises as they are defined in the Annex I to the SME BER, the block exemption regulation may apply.
Vendar pa se lahko, kadar je pomoč na podlagi ukrepa dodeljena malim in srednje velikim podjetjem, kot so opredeljena v Prilogi I k uredbi o skupinskih izjemah pri pomoči za mala in srednje velika podjetja, uporabi uredba o skupinskih izjemah.
Investment aid for SMEs in Greece, which is in its entire territory eligible for regional aid under Article 87(3)(a) of the EC Treaty, is subject to aid intensity ceilings 15 % higher than the ceilings under the RAG.
Za pomoč za naložbe malim in srednje velikim podjetjem v Grčiji, ki je na svojem celotnem ozemlju upravičena do regionalnih pomoči na podlagi člena 87(3)(a) Pogodbe ES, veljajo 15 % višje zgornje meje intenzivnosti pomoči, kot so zgornje meje v skladu s smernicami RAG.
This applies to all investment projects as they are included in paragraph 21 of this decision, except of investment in the agriculture sector, investment in means of transportation in the transportation sector [127] and investment directed abroad [128].
To velja za vse investicijske projekte iz odstavka 21 te odločbe, razen za naložbe v kmetijski sektor, naložbe v prevozna sredstva v transportnem sektorju [127] in naložbe, usmerjene v tujino [128].
The aid intensity ceilings are breached for projects other than tourism, garages in Areas A and B according to the Greek Regional Aid Map (no regional aid is foreseen for areas A, 18,4 % for Areas B and a 15 % top-up for SMEs).
Zgornje meje intenzivnosti pomoči so kršene pri projektih z izjemo turizma, mehaničnih delavnic na območjih A in B grške karte regionalnih pomoči (za območja A regionalna pomoč ni predvidena, za območja B je predvidenih 18,4 % z dodatnimi 15 % za mala in srednje velika podjetja).
Moreover, the condition in order to apply such higher ceiling is to maintain the investment in the recipient region for at least five years.
Poleg tega je pogoj, da se uporabi tak višji prag, da naložba ostane v regiji prejemnika najmanj pet let.
However, this is not required under the measure.
Vendar pa ukrep ne vsebuje tega pogoja.
In the transport sector, the costs of transport means and transport equipment shall not be included in the eligible costs.
V transportnem sektorju stroški prevoznih sredstev in opreme za prevoz niso vključeni v upravičene stroške.
Foreign direct investment outside Greece can only be subject to aid to small enterprises up to the aid intensity ceiling of 15 % and 7,5 % for medium-sized enterprises.
Za tuje neposredne naložbe zunaj Grčije se malim podjetjem pomoč lahko dodeli samo do zgornje meje intenzivnosti pomoči 15 % in do zgornje meje 7,5 % srednje velikim podjetjem.
However, both these ceilings can be exceeded under the present measure.
V skladu s sedanjim ukrepom pa sta lahko preseženi obe zgornji meji.
Studies for implementation of new technology, studies related to introduction of process and product certification, studies on organisation and markets, and studies on eligibility to aid could be eligible for aid to SMEs.
Mala in srednje velika podjetja so lahko upravičena do pomoči za študije za uvajanje nove tehnologije, študije za uvedbo postopka in certificiranje izdelkov, študije o organizaciji in trgih ter študije o upravičenosti do pomoči.
However, the measure does not guarantee that these services are provided by outside consultants.
Vendar pa v skladu z ukrepom ni treba, da te storitve opravijo zunanji svetovalci.
It is not excluded that such studies are a continuous or a periodic activity that would relate to usual operating activity.
Zato ni izključeno, da so take študije stalna ali občasna dejavnost, kar pa spada k običajnemu poslovanju.
Consequently, the Commission notes that the scheme does not respect the above mentioned conditions of the SME BER, and hence, is incompatible under the SME BER.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da ukrep ne izpolnjuje navedenih pogojev uredbe o skupinskih izjemah pri pomoči za mala in srednje velika podjetja, in tako ni skladen na podlagi uredbe o skupinskih izjemah pri pomoči za mala in srednje velika podjetja.
Compatibility under the Community guidelines for State aid in the agriculture sector
Skladnost na podlagi Smernic Skupnosti o državni pomoči v kmetijskem sektorju
In the agriculture sector, the analysis must be made at two levels: for processing and marketing activities, on the one hand, and for primary production, on the other hand, being understood that, in both cases, the relevant Community legislation to take into account is the one applicable at the time the aid was granted, i.e. the Community guidelines for State aid in the agriculture sector (hereafter the agricultural guidelines) and Commission Regulation (EC) No 1860/2004 of 6 October 2004 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to de minimis aid in the agriculture and fisheries sectors [129].
V kmetijskem sektorju je potrebna analiza na dveh ravneh: za predelavo in trženje ter primarno proizvodnjo, kar pomeni, da je v obeh primerih ustrezna zakonodaja Skupnosti, ki jo je treba upoštevati, zakonodaja, ki se je uporabljala ob dodelitvi pomoči, tj. Smernice Skupnosti o državni pomoči v kmetijskem sektorju (v nadaljevanju „kmetijske smernice“) in Uredba komisije (ES) št. 1860/2004 z dne 6. oktobra 2004 o uporabi členov 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES za de minimis pomoči v kmetijskem in ribiškem sektorju [129].
As far as primary production is concerned, the relevant provisions to take into account, on the basis of the measures, eligible expenses and operating costs defined by Law 3220/2004, are those laid down in points 4.1, 13 and 14 of the agricultural guidelines, dedicated respectively to investment aid, aid to encourage the production and marketing of quality agricultural products, and aid for the provision of technical support.
Pri primarni proizvodnji so ustrezne določbe, ki jih je treba upoštevati na podlagi ukrepov, upravičenih stroškov in stroškov poslovanja, opredeljenih v zakonu 3220/2004, določbe točk 4.1, 13 in 14 kmetijskih smernic, ki obravnavajo prav pomoč za naložbe, pomoč za spodbujanje proizvodnje in trženja kakovostnih kmetijskih izdelkov ter pomoč za zagotavljanje tehnične podpore.
According to point 4.1 of the agricultural guidelines, eligible expenses within the framework of investments may include the construction, acquisition or improvement of immovable property, new machinery and equipment (including computer software) and general costs (such as architects, engineers and consultation fees, feasibility studies, the acquisition of patents and licences) up to 12 % of the amount corresponding to the other expenses quoted.
V skladu s točko 4.1 kmetijskih smernic so upravičeni stroški naložb lahko gradnja, pridobitev ali izboljšanje nepremičnin, novi stroji in oprema (vključno z računalniško programsko opremo) in splošni stroški (kot so honorarji za arhitekte, inženirje in svetovalce, študije izvedljivosti, pridobitev patentov in licenc) do 12 % zneska drugih navedenih stroškov.
Aid for the purchase of plants is allowed, except for annual plants.
Razen za letne rastline je dovoljena pomoč za nakup rastlin.
The aid rates laid down in the same point are 40 % of the eligible expenses in the ‘normal’ and 50 % in the less-favoured areas, with an increase of five percentage points for young farmers carrying out the investment within five years from setting-up.
Stopnje pomoči, določene v isti točki, so 40 % upravičenih stroškov na „običajnih“ območjih in 50 % na območjih z omejenimi možnostmi, z dodatnimi petimi odstotki za mlade kmete, ki so naložbo izvedli v petih letih od ustanovitve.
To be eligible for aid, farms must also comply with minimum standards in the field of environment, animal handling and hygiene and investments must be targeted on products for which normal market outlet can be found, and the total amount of eligible expenses must not exceed the limit for total investment eligible for support set by the Member State in accordance with Article 7 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999 of 17 May 1999 on support for rural development from the European Agricultural guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) and amending and repealing certain Regulations [130].
Da so kmetije upravičene do pomoči, morajo izpolnjevati tudi minimalne okoljske standarde, standarde za ravnanje z živalmi in higienske standarde, naložbe pa morajo biti usmerjene na izdelke, za katere je mogoče najti normalne prodajne možnosti, skupna višina upravičenih stroškov pa ne sme presegati zgornje meje za skupno naložbo, upravičeno do podpore, ki jo je država članica določila v skladu s členom 7 Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 1257/1999 z dne 17. maja 1999 o podpori za razvoj podeželja iz Evropskega kmetijskega usmerjevalnega in jamstvenega sklada (EKUJS) ter o spremembi in razveljavitvi določenih uredb [130].
In case of relocation of farm buildings, several possibilities may be envisaged:
Pri premestitvi kmetijskih poslopij se lahko predvidi več možnosti:
where the need to relocate results from an expropriation which, in accordance with the legislation of the Member State concerned gives rise to a right to compensation, the payment of such compensation will normally not be considered as State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty;
če potreba po premestitvi izhaja iz razlastitve, zaradi katere v skladu z zakonodajo zadevne države članice nastane pravica do nadomestila, se plačilo takšnega nadomestila običajno ne bo štelo za državno pomoč v smislu člena 87(1)Pogodbe,
