The national authorities are responsible for ensuring compliance with Community law on aid to the shipyards to which the Commission may not grant derogations.
V tem okviru morajo nacionalni organi zagotoviti upoštevanje zakonodaje Skupnosti glede pomoči ladjedelnicam, za katero Komisija ne more priznati izjem.
Since this clearly constitutes a compatibility condition for the aid in question, the Member State must demonstrate compliance with Community law by providing ‘all the information to enable the Commission to verify that the conditions for the derogation sought are fulfilled’ (ECJ, Case C-364/90 Italy v Commission [1993] ECR I-2097, paragraph 20 et seq.).
Ker ta vsebuje zahtevo po združljivosti navedenih pomoči, mora država članica izkazati, da upošteva zakonodajo Skupnosti, in predložiti „vse elemente, s katerimi [Komisiji] omogoča, da preveri, ali obstajajo pogoji za zahtevano izjemo“ (SES, Italija proti Komisiji, zadeva C-364/90, [1993] PSES I-2097, točke 20 in nasl.).
Since the Italian authorities have not supplied any information as to whether the total amount of aid granted respects the ceiling laid down in Article 4 of Directive 87/167/EEC [17], and in the absence of any other information concerning compliance of the original measure with both the above Directives and Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 3094/95 [18], the Commission is bound to conclude that the aid does not comply with shipbuilding guidelines [19] either.
Ker italijanski organi niso predložili nikakršnih podatkov o tem, ali je skupni znesek odobrene pomoči upošteval maksimalno vrednost, predvideno v členu 4 Direktive 87/167/EGS [17], in ker niso bili na voljo nobeni drugi podatki o skladnosti prvotnega ukrepa bodisi z navedeno direktivo ali s členom 5 Uredbe (ES) št. 3094/95 [18], Komisija ugotavlja, da pomoči niso skladne niti s predpisi o ladjedelništvu [19].
Furthermore, these derogations cannot be relied upon in order to authorise an aid scheme that is contrary to the general principles of the Treaty.
Nadalje, teh izjem ni mogoče uporabiti za odobritev sheme pomoči, ki je v nasprotju s splošnimi načeli Pogodbe.
The Commission considers that the aid scheme to Sardinian shipbuilders is incompatible with Community law due to the fact that several of the supplementary conditions introduced by Law No 11/1988 breached the fundamental principles of freedom of establishment (Article 52) and the prohibition of any discrimination based on nationality (Article 6 and Article 48(2)).
Komisija zato meni, da je shema pomoči sardinskim ladjarjem nezdružljiva s pravom Skupnosti, ker so različni dodatni pogoji, ki jih je uvedel zakon št. 11/1988 v nasprotju s temeljnimi načeli svobode ustanavljanja (člen 52) in prepovedjo kakršne koli diskriminacije na podlagi državljanstva (člen 6 in člen 48(2)).
Contrary to Article 52 of the Treaty, the aid scheme required not only that the beneficiary company should be established in Sardinia, but also that it should have its administrative headquarters and shipping business, as well as its main stores, depots and ancillary installations permanently in one of the ports of the region.
Dejansko je shema pomoči v nasprotju s členom 52 Pogodbe določala ne samo, da mora imeti upravičeno podjetje sedež na Sardiniji, ampak tudi, da morajo biti upravni sedež in dejavnosti pomorskega prometa kakor tudi glavne trgovine, skladišča in pripadajoči objekti trajno v enem od pristanišč v regiji.
It also laid down that all vessels owned by the beneficiary company (and not only those for which a loan was granted under the scheme) should be registered in Sardinia.
Nadalje je določala, da morajo biti vsa plovila upravičene družbe (in ne le tista, za katera je bil med veljavnostjo sheme odobreno posojilo) registrirana na Sardiniji.
Furthermore, as provided for in Article 99(e) of Law 11/1988 and as observed by the Court of Justice in its judgment in Joined Cases C 15/98 and C 105/99 (paragraph 19), in the case of ships with gross tonnage greater than 250 tonnes, the undertaking should recruit a minimum complement of crew members registered in the general duty roster of the port of registry.
Poleg tega, kot izhaja iz člena 99(e) zakona 11/1988 in kot je ugotovilo Sodišče v sodbi z dne 19. oktobra 2000 (točka 19), je v primeru plovil z bruto tonažo nad 250 ton družba morala prevzeti minimalno kvoto pomorščakov, vpisanih v splošno izmeno sardinskega pristanišča opreme plovil.
The beneficiary company was therefore obliged to recruit a certain percentage of local seafarers even if other seafarers were able to carry out the required work, thus breaching the principle that prohibits any discrimination on grounds of nationality.
Torej je upravičena družba morala prevzeti določen odstotek lokalnih pomorščakov, čeprav bi bili pomorščaki od drugod to delo zmožni opraviti, to pa pomeni kršitev načela, ki prepoveduje kakršno koli diskriminacijo na podlagi državljanstva.
It therefore follows that the aid in question is contrary to the fundamental principles of Community law.
Iz tega izhaja, da je navedena pomoč v nasprotju s temeljnimi načeli zakonodaje Skupnosti.
Assessment of the original scheme amended by Law No 9 of 15 February 1996 in force from 1996
Ocena spremenjene prvotne sheme v smislu zakona št. 9 z dne 15. februarja 1996, ki se uporablja od leta 1996
The Commission considers that the scheme amended by Law No 9/1996 constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) for the following reasons: (a) the beneficiary companies are relieved of a financial burden that they would normally have to bear by means of favourable terms on normal commercial interest rates and other charges on loans/leases; (b) this burden continues to be borne by state resources; (c) the aid is selective (being reserved to companies operating in the shipping sector; and (d) the aid affects trade between Member States because the amended scheme concerns shipping companies aiming to buy, build and convert ships used for goods and passenger transport services with Sardinia and other Sardinian islands as their departure and destination points.
Komisija meni, da shema, spremenjena z zakonom št. 9/1996, pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) iz naslednjih razlogov: (a) upravičene družbe so oproščene finančne obveznosti, ki bi jo običajno morale izpolniti, in sicer v obliki subvencionirane obrestne mere in drugih stroškov za posojila in finančne zakupe; (b) ta obveznost se še naprej financira z javnimi sredstvi; (c) pomoč je selektivna, saj je omejena na družbe, ki poslujejo v sektorju ladijskega prevoza, in (d) ukrep vpliva na trgovanje med državami članicami, saj se spremenjena shema nanaša na ladijske družbe, namenjene izgradnji in preurejanju plovil za prevoz blaga in potnikov z odhodi in prihodi na Sardinijo in druge sardinske otoke.
As indicated above, companies that may effectively benefit from the aid do not operate only within the cabotage market, liberalised from 1.1.1999, but also in the international maritime transport market, liberalised from 1986 [20].
Kakor je navedeno zgoraj, družbe, ki so lahko prejemnice pomoči, ne poslujejo izključno na trgu kabotaže, ki je liberaliziran od 1. januarja 1999, ampak tudi na trgu mednarodnega pomorskega prevoza, ki je liberaliziran od leta 1986 [20].
In any event, there is no doubt that this scheme continues to affect competition within a sector that has been fully liberalised since 1999 inasmuch as it remains in force.
V vsakem primeru ni nobenega dvoma, da dokler ta shema velja, še naprej vpliva na konkurenco v sektorju, ki je povsem liberaliziran od leta 1999.
On the basis of information sent by the Italian authorities in October 1996 and January 1997, no beneficiary has received any aid under Law No 9/1996.
Na podlagi informacij, ki so jih poslali italijanski organi oktobra 1996 in januarja 1997, nobena upravičenka ni prejela pomoči v smislu zakona št. 9/1996.
Since such aid was not granted in the past, the Commission considers that it is not necessary to assess compatibility with Community laws in force at the time for the purposes of the present Decision.
Glede na to, da te pomoči v preteklosti niso bile odobrene, Komisija meni, da v tej odločbi ni treba ocenjevati združljivosti s tedaj veljavno zakonodajo Skupnosti.
However, given that the aid could be granted in the future, it is necessary to determine its compatibility with Community laws in force, i.e. the 2004 Community guidelines on State aid to maritime transport [21] (hereinafter: the 2004 Community guidelines).
Ker pa bi tovrstne pomoči v prihodnje lahko bile odobrene, je treba preveriti njihovo združljivost s tedaj veljavno zakonodajo Skupnosti, tj. s smernicami Skupnosti o državnih pomočeh za pomorski promet iz leta 2004 [21] (v nadaljevanju: „smernice Skupnosti iz leta 2004“).
Incompatibility of the modified scheme
Nezdružljivost spremenjene sheme
The modified aid scheme no longer contains provisions that involve discrimination based on nationality or a breach of the principle of establishment.
Spremenjena shema pomoči ne vsebuje več določb, ki bi pomenile diskriminacijo na podlagi državljanstva ali kršitev pravice do ustanavljanja.
The Commission nevertheless considers that the amended scheme does not fulfil the conditions laid down by the 2004 Community guidelines and cannot benefit from the derogations provided for in Article 87(3)(a) and (c), for the reasons set out below.
Komisija kljub temu meni, da spremenjena shema ne ustreza pogojem v smernicah Skupnosti iz leta 2004 in zanjo ne veljajo izjeme iz člena 87(3)(a) in (c) iz naslednjih razlogov:
According to paragraph 5 of the 2004 Community guidelines, subsidies paid for fleet renewal tend as a general rule to distort competition.
V skladu z odstavkom 5 smernic Skupnosti iz leta 2004 pomoči, dodeljene za obnovo ladjevja, dejansko utegnejo izkriviti konkurenco.
In this particular case, the Commission considers that the subsidies in question are not part of any structural reform aiming to reduce overall capacity nor are they aiming to improve equipment on board the ships or promote the use of safer ships.
V tem primeru Komisija meni, da navedene pomoči ne spadajo v strukturno reformo, namenjeno zmanjšanju globalne zmogljivosti, in da tudi niso namenjene izboljšanju opreme na plovilih ali spodbujanju uporabe varnejših plovil.
In this regard, the fact that, under the amended aid scheme, the subsidies are earmarked for ‘innovative and high technology transport’ methods does not make it possible, in the absence of a definition of the said technologies and associated expenses, to assess the effective scope of the new amendment.
Glede na to, da so po spremenjeni shemi pomoči namenjene „inovativnim in visoko tehnološkim prevoznim sredstvom“, ni mogoče oceniti dejanskega učinka sprejete spremembe, saj ni opredelitve tovrstnih tehnologij in ustreznih stroškov.
The Commission considers that the scheme cannot be described as regional aid within the meaning of paragraph 6 of the regional Community guidelines either.
Komisija meni, da shema prav tako ne more biti opredeljena kot regionalna pomoč v smislu odstavka 6 regionalnih smernic Skupnosti.
Although Sardinia is a disadvantaged region, the Italian authorities have not sufficiently demonstrated that the region derives an advantage from the scheme in question (Chapter 5(4) of the 2004 Community guidelines) or that the scheme complies with Community rules on regional aid in force [22].
Čeprav je Sardinija regija z omejenimi možnostmi, italijanski organi niso zadovoljivo izkazali, da bo regija imela korist od zadevne sheme (poglavje 5(4) smernic Skupnosti iz leta 2004), niti da je shema skladna s tedaj veljavno zakonodajo Skupnosti o regionalnih pomočeh [22].
The Commission also considers that, for the reasons set out above, the aid scheme is prejudicial to the economies of other Member States and distorts competition between Member States contrary to the common interest (Chapter 2 of the 2004 Community guidelines).
Poleg tega Komisija meni, da iz že navedenih razlogov shema pomoči škodi gospodarstvom drugih držav članic in v nasprotju s skupnim interesom izkrivlja konkurenco med državami članicami (naslov 2 smernic Skupnosti iz leta 2004).
The Commission also observes that, according to the 2004 Community guidelines, any aid to investment must comply with the Community provisions applicable in the shipbuilding sector, i.e. Regulation (EC) No 1540/98 [23].
Komisija tudi opaža, da morajo biti v skladu s smernicami Skupnosti iz leta 2004 morebitne pomoči za naložbe skladne z določbami Skupnosti za sektor ladjedelništva, tj. z Uredbo (ES) št. 1540/98 [23].
It may be observed that Article 3(1) of this Regulation states: ‘Until 31 December 2000, production aid in support of contracts for shipbuilding and ship conversion, but not ship repair, may be considered compatible with the common market provided that the total amount of all forms of aid granted in support of any particular contract (including the grant equivalent of any aid granted to these shipowners or third parties) does not exceed, in grant equivalent, a common maximum aid ceiling expressed as a percentage of the contract value before aid […]’.
Velja opomniti, da se člen 3(1) te uredbe glasi: „Do 31. decembra 2000 se pomoči proizvodnji v korist pogodb za izgradnjo in preurejanje plovil, vendar ne za popravilo plovil, lahko štejejo kot združljive s skupnim trgom, pod pogojem, da skupni znesek vseh vrst pomoči, odobrenih v okviru posamezne pogodbe (vključno s kakršno koli pomočjo, odobreno ladjarjem ali tretjim osebam), v protivrednosti subvencije ne presega največjega skupnega zneska, izraženega v odstotku pogodbene vrednosti pred prejetjem pomoči […]“.
In view of the fact that Italy has not provided any information as to whether the total amount of all forms of aid granted in support of a any particular contract does not exceed, in grant equivalent, a common ceiling expressed as a percentage of the contract value before aid, it must be found that the measure does not comply with Article 3(1).
Ob upoštevanju okoliščine, da Italija ni predložila nikakršnih podatkov o tem, ali skupni znesek vseh vrst pomoči, odobrenih za posamezno pogodbo, v protivrednosti subvencije ne presega največjega skupnega zneska, izraženega v odstotku pogodbene vrednosti pred prejemom pomoči, Komisija nedvoumno ugotavlja, da ukrep ne upošteva člena 3(1).
Under Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1540/98, aid granted for innovation in existing shipbuilding, ship conversion and ship repair yards may be deemed compatible with the common market up to a maximum aid intensity of 10 % gross provided that it relates to the industrial application of innovative products and processes that are genuinely and substantially new, i.e. are not currently used commercially by other operators in the sector within the Community, and which carry a risk of technological or industrial failure.
V smislu člena 6 Uredbe (ES) št. 1540/98 se pomoči, odobrene za inovacije v obstoječih ladjedelnicah za izgradnjo, preurejanje in popravilo plovil, lahko štejejo za združljive s skupnim trgom do maksimalne bruto vrednosti 10 %, če so povezane z uporabo inovativnih izdelkov in postopkov v industriji, če so dejansko in vsebinsko novi, če jih trenutno ne uporabljajo drugi operaterji v sektorju znotraj Evropske unije in če so izpostavljeni tveganju tehnološkega ali industrijskega neuspeha.
This aid must also be limited to supporting expenditure on investment and engineering activities directly and exclusively related to the innovative part of the project and their amount and intensity is limited to the minimum necessary taking into account the level of risk associated with the project.
Te pomoči se morajo poleg tega omejiti na kritje stroškov za naložbe in razvojne dejavnosti, neposredno in izključno povezane z inovativnim delom projekta, njihov obseg in intenzivnost pa se morajo omejiti na nujni minimum z upoštevanjem stopnje tveganja, povezanega s projektom.
However, as indicated above, the fact that the amended aid scheme states that the aid is destined for ‘innovative and high technology transport’ methods does not make it possible to assess in the absence of any definition of the said technologies and associated expenses, the scope of the amendment introduced.
Kakor je bilo navedeno zgoraj, glede na to, da so po spremenjeni shemi pomoči namenjene „inovativnim in visokòtehnološkim“ prevoznim sredstvom, dejanskega učinka sprejete spremembe ni mogoče oceniti, saj ni opredelitve tovrstnih tehnologij in ustreznih stroškov.
The Commission must therefore conclude that aid scheme, even as amended, does not comply with the provisions on shipbuilding.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da tudi spremenjena shema pomoči ni skladna z zakonodajo o ladjedelništvu.
Lastly, the derogations provided for in Article 92(3)(a) and (c) cannot be applied because it is the responsibility of the national authorities to show compliance with Community law on aid to shipbuilding, from which the Commission cannot derogate.
Končno, izjeme iz člena 92(3)(a) in (c) ni bilo mogoče uporabiti, saj morajo nacionalni organi zagotoviti upoštevanje zakonodaje Skupnosti o pomočeh ladjedelnicam, od katere Komisija ne more odstopiti.
Since this clearly constitutes a condition of compatibility of the aid in question, the Member State must demonstrate compliance with Community law by providing full information to enable the Commission to verify that the conditions for the derogation sought are fulfilled.
Ker ta zakonodaja očitno vsebuje pogoj združljivosti navedenih pomoči, mora država članica izkazati upoštevanje veljavne zakonodaje Skupnosti in predložiti vse elemente, ki bi lahko Komisijo prepričali, da obstajajo pogoji za zahtevano izjemo.
In conclusion, the original aid scheme as it was applied during the period 1988-96 is unlawful and incompatible with the common market.
Sklepna ugotovitev je, da je prvotna shema pomoči, kot se je uporabljala v obdobju 1988–1996, nezakonita in nezdružljiva s skupnim trgom.
It follows that the amount of aid arising out of the granting of loans (for a total of ITL 12697450000) on favourable terms under Regional Law No 11/1988 must be repaid by the beneficiaries in accordance with the procedures and provisions of Italian law.
Iz tega izhaja, da morajo upravičenci pomoč, ki izhaja iz odobritve posojil (v skupnem znesku 12697450000 ITL), odobrenih pod subvencioniranimi pogoji v skladu z deželnim zakonom št. 11/1988, vrniti v skladu s postopki in določbami italijanske zakonodaje.
Since no subsidy was paid for leases, it is not necessary to arrange for any recovery.
Glede na to, da iz tega naslova ni bila izplačana nikakršna subvencija za finančni zakup, vračilo ni potrebno.
The aid to be recovered includes interest from the date on which they were made available to the beneficiaries to the date of their recovery.
Pomoči, ki jih je treba izterjati, vključujejo obresti od datuma razpoložljivosti pomoči za upravičence do datuma njihove izterjave.
Because the Commission has not been able to quantify directly the aid element or the total amount of the aid to be recovered from each beneficiary, the Italian authorities are responsible for obtaining the information and notifying the Commission of the sums to be recovered from each beneficiary.
Ker Komisija ne more neposredno ovrednotiti elementa pomoči in prav tako ne celotnega zneska pomoči, ki jo je treba izterjati od vsakega posameznega upravičenca, morajo italijanski organi te elemente opredeliti in Komisiji sporočiti zneske za izterjavo od vsakega upravičenca.
As regards the aid scheme amended by Law No 9/1996 and in force from 1996, the Commission notes that no aid was paid from that year, but concludes that the scheme constitutes State aid incompatible with the common market.
Kar zadeva shemo pomoči, kakor je bila spremenjena z zakonom št. 9/1996 in velja od leta 1996, Komisija ugotavlja, da od tega leta naprej ni bila nakazana nikakršna pomoč, vendar sklepa, da tovrstna shema pomeni državno pomoč, nezdružljivo s skupnim trgom.
It is not necessary to arrange for recovery in view of the fact that no subsidy was paid for this purpose,
Ob upoštevanju dejstva, da iz tega naslova ni bila izplačana nikakršna subvencija, vračilo ni potrebno.
The State aid in the form of loans and leases granted to shipping companies under Law No 20 of 15 May 1951 of the region of Sardinia, as amended by Law No 11 of 4 June 1988, is incompatible with the common market.
Državna pomoč v obliki posojil in finančnih zakupov, odobrena ladijskim družbam na podlagi zakona št. 20 regije Sardinije z dne 15. maja 1951, je v besedilu, spremenjenem z zakonom št. 11 z dne 4. junija 1988, nezdružljiva s skupnim trgom.
Italy shall take all necessary measures to recover from the beneficiaries the aid described in Article 1, made available to them unlawfully and corresponding to the difference between the total amount that the beneficiaries would have paid for interest and ancillary costs under normal market conditions applied at the date on which the loans were taken out and the total interest and ancillary costs actually paid by the beneficiaries.
Italija sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe za izterjavo pomoči od upravičencev po členu 1, ki jim je že bila nezakonito dodeljena in ki ustreza razliki med celotnim zneskom, ki bi ga upravičenci morali plačati za obresti in dodatne stroške po običajnih tržnih pogojih, veljavnih na dan, ko so bila posojila sklenjena, ter vsemi obrestmi in dodatnimi stroški, ki so jih upravičenci dejansko plačali.
The recovery shall be carried out without delay and in accordance with procedures of domestic law provided that these allow the immediate and effective execution of this Decision.
Vračilo se opravi brez odloga in v skladu s postopki notranjega prava pod pogojem, da ti omogočajo takojšnjo in učinkovito izvršbo te odločbe.
The aid to be recovered includes interest from the date on which the aid was made available to the beneficiaries until the date of recovery.
Pomoč, ki jo je treba izterjati, vključuje obresti od datuma razpoložljivosti pomoči za upravičence do datuma njene izterjave.
For payment instalments on loans still outstanding at the date of notification of this Decision, Italy shall take steps to ensure that the borrower pays the balance of the instalments under normal market conditions.
Kar zadeva obrestne mere za posojila, ki so bila ob objavi te odločbe še odprta, Italija poskrbi, da izdajatelj zaključi njihov saldo po običajnih tržnih pogojih.
The State aid scheme in the form of loans and leases issued to shipping companies by Law No 20 of 15 May 1951 of the region of Sardinia, as amended by Regional Law No 9 of 1966, is incompatible with the common market.
Shema državne pomoči v obliki posojil in finančnih zakupov, predvidenih za ladijske družbe na podlagi zakona št. 20 regije Sardinije z dne 15. maja 1951, je v besedilu, spremenjenem z deželnim zakonom št. 9 iz leta 1996, nezdružljiva s skupnim trgom.
Italy shall abolish the aid scheme described in Articles 1 and 3.
Italija mora shemo pomoči odpraviti v skladu s členoma 1 in 3.
The Italian State shall inform the Commission within two months of the date of notification of this Decision of the measures taken to comply with it.
Italija mora v dveh mesecih po prejetju obvestila o tej odločbi Komisijo seznaniti z ukrepi, sprejetimi za upoštevanje te odločbe.
