Therefore, if a notified restructuring plan is later withdrawn, the extension allowed for the rescue aid has to be terminated [7].
Če je torej priglašeni načrt za prestrukturiranje pozneje umaknjen, je treba dovoljeno podaljšanje za pomoč za reševanje prekiniti [7].
This condition was respected here as the loan which the state guarantee was securing was repaid.
Ta pogoj je bil tu upoštevan, saj je bilo posojilo, zavarovano z državnim jamstvom, povrnjeno.
The Commission had decided to close the formal investigation procedure under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the notified aid measure, noting that Poland has withdrawn the notification and has not granted any unlawful state aid,
Komisija je sklenila, da zaključi uradni postopek preiskave v skladu s členom 88(2) Pogodbe ES glede priglašenega ukrepa pomoči, ob upoštevanju, da je Poljska umaknila priglasitev in ni dodelila nobene nezakonite državne pomoči –
The aid measure which Poland was planning to implement for HCM in the form of a loan of PLN 21,8 million (about EUR 5,76 million), has been withdrawn since the Commission opened the formal investigation procedure.
Ukrep pomoči, ki ga je Poljska načrtovala izvesti za podjetje HCM v obliki posojila v višini 21,8 milijona PLN (okoli 5,76 milijona EUR), je bil umaknjen, saj je Komisija začela uradni postopek preiskave.
The formal investigation procedure is therefore now redundant.
Uradni postopek preiskave je zato sedaj odveč.
Regarding the composition agreement, the Commission concludes that it does not constitute state aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
V zvezi s sporazumom o poravnavi Komisija ugotavlja, da ne pomeni državne pomoči v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.

All amounts provided by the Polish authorities in Polish zloty (PLN) have been converted into Euro (EUR) by using the exchange rate of 22 June 2007 of EUR 1 = PLN 3,7865.
Vsi zneski, ki so jih poljski organi navedli v poljskem zlotu (PLN), so bili preračunani v euro (EUR) po menjalnem tečaju z dne 22. junija 2007, ki je bil 1 EUR = 3,7865 PLN.

C(2007) 1405 (konč.).
The Commission recognises that the composition agreement does not constitute state aid, as it fulfils the private creditor test and because it consists in a debt deferral which is more advantageous for the creditors than the liquidation of HCM.
Komisija priznava, da sporazum o poravnavi ne pomeni državne pomoči, saj izpolnjuje preizkus zasebnega upnika in zajema odlog plačila dolga, ki je za upnike ugodnejši kot likvidacija podjetja HCM.
It is settled case law that a public creditor will balance the advantage to be derived from receiving the sum offered under the restructuring plan against the sum which it would be able to recover if the firm was liquidated.
Stalna sodna praksa je, da javni upnik ugodnost, ki izhaja iz zneska, ponujenega v okviru načrta za prestrukturiranje, primerja z zneskom, ki bi ga lahko izterjal, če bi bila družba likvidirana.

The company
Podjetje
BB is a large company which produces machine tool fixtures such as lathe chucks, spindle tooling, milling fixtures and tool holders.
BB je veliko podjetje, ki proizvaja naprave za strojna orodja, kot so vpenjalne glave stružnic, vretenasta orodja, rezkalniki in držala za orodja.
It was created in 1948 as a State enterprise.
Ustanovljeno je bila leta 1948 kot državno podjetje.
In 1997 the State sold 53 % of BB’s shares to the private company Metalexport Sp. z o.o., which in 2004 was renamed Mex-Holding Sp. z o.o.
Leta 1997 je država prodala 53 % delnic podjetja BB zasebnemu podjetju Metalexport Sp. z o.o., ki se je leta 2004 preimenovalo v Mex-Holding Sp. z o.o.
At the end of 2006 the State held 18 % of BB’s shares; while the remaining shareholders were private investors.
Ob koncu leta 2006 je imela država 18 % delnic podjetja BB, medtem ko so bili preostali delničarji zasebni vlagatelji.
BB had 950 employees in 2006, down from 1680 in 2000.
V BB je bilo leta 2006 zaposlenih 950 delavcev, kar je manj kot leta 2000, ko jih je bilo 1680.
In 2004 the company had a 17 % share of the Polish machine tool fixtures market, which represented only 20 % of BB’s output, since the company produces mainly for export (in 2004 30 % of output was exported to the United States, 15 % to Italy, 7 % to Eastern European countries including Russia and 5 % to the United Kingdom).
Leta 2004 je imelo podjetje 17-odstotni delež na poljskem trgu naprav za strojna orodja, kar je bilo samo 20 % proizvodnje podjetja BB, saj podjetje proizvaja zlasti za izvoz (leta 2004 se je 30 % proizvodnje izvozilo v Združene države, 15 % v Italijo, 7 % v vzhodnoevropske države, vključno z Rusijo, in 5 % v Združeno kraljestvo).
The company distributes most of its exported products through companies from the Mex-Holding Group, such as Toolmex Corporation (USA), Mexpol GmbH (Germany), Toolmex Polmach (UK) or Italmex SA (Italy).
Podjetje večino svojih izvoženih proizvodov distribuira prek podjetij iz skupine Mex-Holding Group, kot so Toolmex Corporation (ZDA), Mexpol GmbH (Nemčija), Toolmex Polmach (UK) ali Italmex SA (Italija).
BB’s estimated share of the European market amounts to 1,3 %.
Ocenjeni delež podjetja BB na evropskem trgu znaša 1,3 %.
The geographical scope of the market for these products is at least European and possibly worldwide.
Geografski obseg trga za te izdelke je vsaj evropski in verjetno tudi svetovni.
Production of standard machine tool fixtures like the ones made by BB is characterised by overcapacity at world and European level.
Za proizvodnjo standardnih naprav za strojna orodja, kot so tista, ki jih izdeluje BB, je značilna presežna zmogljivost na svetovni in evropski ravni.
The company is based in a region eligible for aid under Article 87(3)(a) of the EC Treaty.
Podjetje leži v regiji, ki je upravičena do pomoči v skladu s členom 87(3)(a) Pogodbe ES.
Difficulties faced by the company
Težave, s katerimi se srečuje podjetje
BB first experienced difficulties in 2001, with losses amounting to PLN 24 million.
Podjetje BB je imelo prvič težave leta 2001, ko je imelo izgubo v višini 24 milijonov PLN.
Poland has identified the following main reasons for these financial difficulties:
Poljska je ugotovila naslednje glavne razloge za te finančne težave:
appreciation of the Polish zloty against the US dollar (the United States accounts for 30 % of the company’s sales);
povečana vrednost poljskega zlota glede na ameriški dolar (na Združene države pride 30 % prodaje podjetja),
the difficult financial situation in the business group as a whole and non-repayment by the parent company of a PLN 16 million loan;
poslovna skupina kot celota je v težkem finančnem položaju in matično podjetje ni vrnilo posojila v višini 16 milijonov PLN,
declining export sales as a result of stagnation in the United States and Western Europe after September 2001.
padec izvoza zaradi stagnacije v Združenih državah in Zahodni Evropi po septembru 2001.
These circumstances, coupled with the high cost of borrowing prevailing in the market, caused serious liquidity problems.
Te okoliščine so poleg visokih stroškov izposojanja, ki prevladujejo na trgu, povzročile resne likvidnostne težave.
The financial difficulties resulted in debt arrears.
Finančne težave so pripeljale do zaostalih plačil dolga.
In 2002 four banks demanded the immediate repayment of loans.
Leta 2002 so štiri banke zahtevale takojšnje poplačilo posojil.
BB was unable to meet its existing commitments, including wages, which led to a four-month plant shutdown.
Podjetje BB ni moglo izpolniti svojih obstoječih obveznosti, vključno s plačami, kar je pripeljalo do štirimesečnega zaprtja tovarne.
Sales dropped by half (from PLN 91 million in 2001 to PLN 48 million in 2002) and the year ended with a net loss of PLN 74,8 million.
Prodaja se je zmanjšala za polovico (z 91 milijonov PLN leta 2001 na 48 milijonov PLN leta 2002), leto pa so zaključili s 74,8 milijona PLN neto izgube.
BB’s difficulties mirrored the deteriorating situation of its parent company — Mex-Holding Sp. z o.o.
Težave podjetja BB so bile odraz vedno slabših razmer v njegovem matičnem podjetju – Mex-Holding Sp. z o.o.
In 2002 the group as a whole generated losses of PLN 75,8 million.
Leta 2002 je skupina kot celota ustvarila za 75,8 milijona PLN izgub.
Since then the situation has improved, but the group continues to record losses and its equity is negative.
Od takrat se je položaj sicer izboljšal, vendar skupina še naprej beleži izgube, njen lastniški kapital pa je negativen.
In 2003 the company managed to reduce its losses to PLN 8,5 million, and in 2004 it generated a profit of PLN 5,1 million.
Leta 2003 je podjetju uspelo zmanjšati svoje izgube na 8,5 milijona PLN, v letu 2004 pa je ustvarilo 5,1 milijona PLN dobička.
According to the Polish authorities, this reflected the fact that a start had been made on restructuring BB.
Po navedbah poljskih organov je to odražalo dejstvo, da se je začelo prestrukturiranje podjetja BB.
Implementation of the first restructuring measures resulted in increased sales, reduced costs and partial debt remission.
Izvajanje prvih ukrepov prestrukturiranja je pripeljalo do povečane prodaje, nižjih stroškov in delnega odpisa dolga.
Consequently in 2005 and 2006 the company generated profits amounting to PLN 20 million and PLN 12,5 million respectively.
Tako je podjetje leta 2005 in 2006 ustvarilo dobiček v višini 20 milijonov PLN oziroma 12,5 milijona PLN.
Despite generating profits, however, BB is still struggling.
Res je, da BB ustvarja dobiček, a se še vedno bori za preživetje.
Accumulated losses on operating activities since 2001 have led to significant indebtedness.
Nakopičene izgube iz poslovanja od leta 2001 naprej so povzročile veliko zadolženost.
In 2004 the value of assets was estimated at PLN 57 million and liabilities amounted to PLN 115,7 million.
Leta 2004 je bila vrednost sredstev ocenjena na 57 milijonov PLN, obveznosti pa so znašale 115,7 milijona PLN.
In other words, equity was negative.
Z drugimi besedami, lastniški kapital je bil negativen.
At end-2006 equity was still negative, amounting to – PLN 26 million.
Ob koncu leta 2006 je bil lastniški kapital še vedno negativen in je znašal 26 milijonov PLN.
The analysis submitted to the Commission shows that without aid, the company will go bankrupt in the near future, as it will not be able to reimburse various immediately payable debts.
Analiza, predložena Komisiji, kaže, da bo podjetje brez pomoči v bližnji prihodnosti šlo v stečaj, ker ne bo moglo vrniti različnih dolgov, ki jih je treba povrniti takoj.
The restructuring operation
Postopek prestrukturiranja
BB has devised a restructuring plan for 2003-2009.
Podjetje BB je izdelalo načrt za prestrukturiranje za obdobje 2003–2009.
Restructuring focuses mainly on finances, assets and employment.
Prestrukturiranje se zlasti osredotoča na finance, sredstva in zaposlovanje.
Financial restructuring, which started in 2003, included repayment of old debts in accordance with agreements concluded with private creditors, the writing-off of part of the private and public debt and repayment of the remaining public debt using the loan to be granted by the State-owned Industry Development Agency (‘the IDA’).
Finančno prestrukturiranje, ki se je začelo leta 2003, je vključevalo poplačilo starih dolgov v skladu s sporazumi, sklenjenimi z zasebnimi upniki, odpis dela javnega in zasebnega dolga ter poplačilo preostalega javnega dolga z uporabo posojila, ki naj bi ga dala agencija za industrijski razvoj v državni lasti („IDA“).
In 2004 the company signed agreements concerning repayment of debts to banks and its employees and a court settlement agreement with other private creditors.
Leta 2004 je podjetje podpisalo sporazume o poplačilu dolgov bankam in svojim zaposlenim ter sporazum o sodni poravnavi z drugimi zasebnimi upniki.
Operational restructuring started in 2001.
Operativno prestrukturiranje se je začelo leta 2001.
The company reduced employment from 1680 employees in 2000 to 1144 employees in 2001 and to 925 employees in 2005.
Podjetje je zmanjšalo število zaposlenih s 1680 delavcev leta 2000 na 1144 leta 2001 in 925 leta 2005.
By the end of the restructuring period the company should have a workforce of 800.
Do konca obdobja prestrukturiranja bi podjetje moralo imeti 800 zaposlenih.
In other words, by the end of restructuring employment will have been reduced by 52 % in relation to 2000 or by 30 % in relation to 2001.
Z drugimi besedami, do konca prestrukturiranja se bo število zaposlenih zmanjšalo za 52 % v primerjavi z letom 2000 ali za 30 % v primerjavi z letom 2001.
As regards asset restructuring, BB plans to sell its redundant assets, move and sell the land on which it is currently located.
Kar zadeva prestrukturiranje sredstev, BB načrtuje prodajo svojih presežnih sredstev, selitev in prodajo zemljišča, na katerem ima trenutno prostore.
According to the evaluation submitted, the market value of the land is PLN […] [3] million.
V skladu s predloženo oceno znaša tržna vrednost zemljišča […] [3] milijonov PLN.
Originally the Polish authorities indicated that the land should be sold in 2009, as first all the machines and equipment had to be transferred to the new site.
Sprva so poljski organi navedli, da naj bi se zemljišče prodalo leta 2009, saj bi bilo treba najprej vse stroje in opremo prepeljati na novo lokacijo.
In addition, the real estate for sale is encumbered with a mortgage.
Poleg tega je nepremičnina, ki je naprodaj, obremenjena s hipoteko.
Following the Commission decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure, Poland indicated that the sale might be delayed until 2010.
Po odločitvi Komisije, da sproži uradni postopek preiskave, je Poljska navedla, da bi se lahko prodaja preložila do leta 2010.
Between 2003 and 2005 BB invested PLN 1,4 million, and the investments planned for 2006-2009 amount to PLN 14,2 million.
Med letoma 2003 in 2005 je podjetje BB vložilo 1,4 milijona PLN, naložbe, načrtovane za obdobje med letoma 2006 in 2009, pa znašajo 14,2 milijona PLN.
These are mainly replacement investments, i.e. purchase of more efficient and environmentally friendly machines and equipment.
Gre predvsem za nadomestne naložbe, tj. nakup učinkovitejših in okolju prijaznejših strojev in opreme.
The plan postpones any significant increase in investments until after 2009 in view of the scarce financial resources available.
V načrtu je kakršno koli večje povečanje naložb preloženo do leta 2009 zaradi omejenih razpoložljivih finančnih sredstev.
The bulk of investments will be made in 2010 and will be linked to the company’s planned move to a new site.
Večina naložb se bo izvedla leta 2010 in bo povezana z načrtovano preselitvijo podjetja na novo lokacijo.
Poland initially suggested that the reduction in the number of jobs and the company’s production area should be regarded as sufficient to mitigate the adverse effects of the aid.
Poljska je sprva predlagala, da je treba zmanjšanje števila zaposlenih in proizvodnega območja podjetja šteti kot zadostno za ublažitev škodljivih učinkov pomoči.
However, Poland also confirmed that these reductions would be counterbalanced by the planned investments in more productive equipment, with the result that BB’s production capacity would be unchanged.
Vendar pa je Poljska tudi potrdila, da bi se ta znižanja izravnala z načrtovanimi naložbami v bolj produktivno opremo, zaradi česar se proizvodna zmogljivost podjetja BB ne bi spremenila.
Poland stated that maintaining capacity at current levels (instead of increasing it) should in itself be regarded as a compensatory measure.
Poljska je navedla, da bi bilo treba ohranitev zmogljivosti na trenutnih ravneh (namesto njenega povečanja) samo po sebi obravnavati kot izravnalni ukrep.
The plan assumes that financial restructuring will consist of repayment of debts to banks of PLN 65,6 million on the basis of composition agreements, repayment of other private debts of PLN 17,5 million and repayment of public debt of PLN 39,5 million.
Načrt predvideva, da bo finančno prestrukturiranje zajemalo poplačilo 65,6 milijona PLN dolgov bankam na podlagi sporazumov o poravnavi, poplačilo drugih zasebnih dolgov v višini 17,5 milijona EUR in vračilo 39,5 milijona PLN javnega dolga.
The full amount of the planned state aid will be earmarked for the settlement of public debt.
Celotni znesek načrtovane državne pomoči se bo namensko rezerviral za odplačilo javnega dolga.
Part of the restructuring costs will be financed by the revenue acquired from the sale of assets after the company moves to its new site.
Del stroškov prestrukturiranja se bo financiral iz prihodkov, pridobljenih od prodaje sredstev, ko se bo podjetje preselilo na svojo novo lokacijo.
State aid for the restructuring of BB is based on two pieces of legislation: the Restructuring of Businesses’ Public Debt Act of 30 August 2002 (‘the Act of 30 August 2002’) and the State Aid to Enterprises of Special Significance to the Labour Market Act of 30 October 2002 (‘the Act of 30 October 2002’), as amended by the Act of 14 November 2003.
Državna pomoč za prestrukturiranje podjetja BB temelji na dveh zakonih: Zakonu o javnem dolgu zaradi prestrukturiranja podjetij z dne 30. avgusta 2002 („Zakon z dne 30. avgusta 2002“) in Zakonu o državni pomoči za podjetja, ki so posebej pomembna za trg dela, z dne 30. oktobra 2002 („Zakon z dne 30. oktobra 2002“), kakor je bil spremenjen z Zakonom z dne 14. novembra 2003.
The Act of 30 August 2002 incorporated into the Polish system the possibility for companies in financial difficulties to restructure public debt by way of write-offs.
Zakon z dne 30. avgusta 2002 je v poljski sistem vključil možnost, da lahko podjetja v finančnih težavah javni dolg prestrukturirajo z odpisi.
The company concerned had to file an application together with a restructuring plan to each public authority whose claims were to be restructured (hereinafter ‘restructuring authority’).
Zadevno podjetje je moralo vložiti prošnjo skupaj z načrtom za prestrukturiranje vsakemu posameznemu javnemu organu, katerega terjatve naj bi se prestrukturirale (v nadaljnjem besedilu „organ za prestrukturiranje“).
Having concluded that the proposed restructuring plan could improve the company’s financial situation, the restructuring authority issued a decision on restructuring conditions which listed the debts covered by restructuring.
Ker je organ za prestrukturiranje sklenil, da bi lahko predlagani načrt za prestrukturiranje izboljšal finančni položaj podjetja, je izdal odločbo o pogojih prestrukturiranja, v kateri so bili našteti dolgovi, ki jih je zajemalo prestrukturiranje.
If the company fulfilled all the conditions imposed by the decision, the restructuring authority was legally obliged to issue a decision to write off the debts listed in the decision on restructuring conditions.
Če bi podjetje izpolnilo vse pogoje, naložene v odločbi, je bil organ za prestrukturiranje zakonito dolžan izdati odločbo za odpis dolgov, navedenih v odločbi o pogojih prestrukturiranja.
The Act of 30 October 2002 subsequently centralised this system and empowered the President of the IDA to issue an equivalent of the above-mentioned decision on restructuring conditions, referred to as a restructuring decision (Article 10(1)(4), read in conjunction with Article 19).
Zakon z dne 30. oktobra 2002 je kasneje centraliziral ta sistem in predsednika agencije IDA pooblastil, da izda odločbo, ki je enakovredna zgoraj navedeni odločbi o pogojih prestrukturiranja, imenovano odločba o prestrukturiranju (člen 10(1)(4), ki se razlaga v povezavi s členom 19).
The restructuring decision contains an assessment of the restructuring plan and indicates how the public debt referred to in the plan should be restructured.
Odločba o prestrukturiranju vsebuje oceno načrta za prestrukturiranje in navaja, kako mora biti prestrukturiran javni dolg, naveden v načrtu.
The restructuring authorities in question are then obliged by law to issue individual decisions to write off the public debt listed in the restructuring decision.
Zadevni organi za prestrukturiranje so nato zakonsko dolžni izdati posamezne odločbe za odpis javnega dolga, navedenega v odločbi o prestrukturiranju.
Lastly, the Act of 14 November 2003 amending the Act of 30 October 2002 made the public debt restructuring conditional on the transfer of assets corresponding to at least 25 % of the total amount of debt to be restructured to a third company, the Operator (a company wholly owned by the IDA or the Treasury).
Ne nazadnje, Zakon z dne 14. novembra 2003, ki spreminja Zakon z dne 30. oktobra 2002, je prestrukturiranje javnega dolga pogojil s prenosom sredstev, ki ustrezajo vsaj 25 % skupnega zneska dolga, ki se bo prestrukturiral, na tretje podjetje, nosilca dejavnosti (podjetje, katerega lastnik je v celoti IDA ali ministrstvo za finance).
The proceeds from the sale of these assets by the Operator were to cover at least part of the public debt concerned, the remainder being written off on completion of restructuring.
Prihodki od prodaje teh sredstev s strani nosilca dejavnosti naj bi vsaj delno pokrili zadevni javni dolg, preostali del pa bi se odpisal po koncu prestrukturiranja.
