The Commission points out that, pursuant to Article 14(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 [now Article 88] of the EC Treaty [18], any unlawful aid found to be incompatible with the common market granted under the scheme at issue must be recovered.
Komisija opozarja, da so v okviru zadevne ureditve pomoči, dodeljene protipravno in obravnavane kot nezdružljive s skupnim trgom, predmet vračila v skladu s členom 14(1) Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 93 (zdaj člena 88) Pogodbe ES [18].
It should be examined whether, in this case, any general principle of Community law, such as the principle of legitimate expectations or of legal certainty, could be applied in order to preclude recovery from the beneficiaries of the unlawful and incompatible aid.
Treba je preveriti, ali je v zadevnem primeru mogoče uporabiti splošno načelo zakonodaje Skupnosti, kot je načelo zaupanja v pravo ali načelo pravne varnosti, za oprostitev upravičencev od vračila nezakonite in s skupnim trgom nezdružljive pomoči
The protection of legitimate expectations is a general principle protected under Community law.
Načelo zaupanja v pravo je splošno načelo, ki je zasidrano v zakonodaji Skupnosti.
For legitimate expectations to arise, previous assurances provided by the Commission administration regarding the legality of a certain measure are required.
Preden nastanejo takšna utemeljena pričakovanja, mora Komisija potrditi zakonitost določenega ukrepa.
Therefore, there must be an act or conduct on the part of the Community administration capable of having given rise to such an expectation [20].
Zato mora obstajati ravnanje ali način vedenja na strani uprave Skupnosti, ki lahko omogoči utemeljeno pričakovanje [20].
According to the case-law, the principle of legal certainty is breached when the circumstances of uncertainty and lack of clarity led to the creation of an equivocal situation which the Commission should have clarified before it could take any action to order recover [21].
Po stalni sodni praksi je načelo pravne varnosti kršeno, ko negotove in nejasne okoliščine ustvarijo nejasen pravni položaj, ki bi ga Komisija morala razjasniti pred sprejetjem ukrepov v zvezi z odlokom za vračilo plačila [21].
Germany has not specifically demonstrated why recovery in itself should not be compatible with proper administration.
Nemčija ni posebej pojasnila, zakaj naj bi vračilo ne bilo združljivo z dobrim upravljanjem.
Under Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999, aid deemed to be unlawful and incompatible with the common market must be recovered as a matter of principle.
Pomoči, dodeljene protipravno in označene kot nezdružljive, morajo biti v skladu s členom 14 Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 z dne 22. marca 1999 predmet vračila.
The only exception to that are cases in which recovery would infringe general principles of Community law.
Iz tega je mogoče izvzeti samo primere, ko je vračilo v nasprotju s splošnimi načeli prava Skupnosti.
No such infringement is apparent.
Takšne kršitve tukaj ni.
Furthermore, and in particular, any legitimate expectation on the part of Germany was neither well founded nor worthy of protection.
Morebitno pričakovanje Nemčije ni bilo niti utemeljeno niti legitimno.
It was not well founded because the aid had not been notified.
Utemeljeno ni bilo zato, ker pomoč ni bila priglašena.
Germany could not therefore have legitimate expectations in the existence of that aid.
Nemčija zato ni mogla zaupati v obstoj te pomoči.
This applies all the more so because by the above-mentioned letter of 13 February 2002 the Commission drew Germany’s attention to the possibility that the aid might be checked.
To velja še toliko, ker bi Nemčija na možen nadzor pomoči lahko opozorila z dopisom Komisije z dne 13. februarja 2002.
According to established ECJ case law, a prudent businessman could and should have asked the German authorities whether the aid had been notified and could have therefore found out that there was a risk of possible demand for recovery [22].
Preudaren poslovnež bi lahko in bi moral, v skladu s stalno sodno prakso Sodišča, Nemčijo vprašati, ali so bile pomoči priglašene in se tako pozanimati o tveganju morebitnega vračila [22].
If he deliberately or as a result of negligence failed to ask this, his legitimate expectations are not worthy of protection.
Če je to povpraševanje zavestno ali iz malomarnosti opustil, njegovega zaupanja ni vredno varovati.
In response to Germany’s objection that, as a result of verbal statements by Commission officials, Germany gained the impression that the aid was compatible with the common market, the Commission points out that it alone, under the responsibility of the College, is authorised to take such decisions.
Glede ugovora Nemčije, da je iz ustnih izjav uradnikov Komisije dobila vtis, da je pomoč združljiva s skupnim trgom, Komisija opozarja, da je samo ona, tj. pod odgovornostjo kolegija, upravičena sprejemati tovrstne odločitve.
It also notes that there is no Commission document from which it could be concluded that the aid in question is compatible with the common market.
Poleg tega ugotavlja, da ne obstaja dokument Komisije, ki bi omogočal sklepne ugotovitve v zvezi z združljivostjo zadevnih pomoči s skupnim trgom.
In response to the objection that in the event of possible recovery a large number of undertakings would be threatened with insolvency, the Commission reiterates that recovery of part of the aid is necessary in order to enable restoration of the status quo ante, i.e. a situation without distorted competition.
Glede ugovora, da bi morebitno vračilo pomenilo stečaj velikega števila podjetij, Komisija poudarja, da je vračilo dela pomoči nujno za ponovno vzpostavitev statusa quo ante, tj. stanja brez izkrivljanja konkurence.
If this means that individual undertakings are not viable, then that is only a result of competition taking place under market-economy conditions.
Če to pomeni, da posamezna podjetja niso sposobna preživeti, je to samo posledica konkurence, ki se odvija pod tržnimi pogoji.
From the considerations formulated in this decision it is clear that the recovery of the subsidies in question can not possibly be waived on grounds of legal certainty.
Po pojasnilih, oblikovanih v tej odločbi, je jasno, da vračila zadevnih subvencij iz razlogov pravne varnosti ni mogoče opustiti.
The tax refunds granted must, in principle, be recovered in full where they have been deemed to constitute aid which is incompatible with the common market.
Zato je treba načeloma zahtevati vračilo dodeljenih povračil, če so ta označena kot nezdružljiva s skupnim trgom.
The decision concerns the tax refund in question and must, including recovery, be effected without delay in accordance with Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty.
Odločba se nanaša na zadevno davčno povračilo in mora biti izvedena vključno z vračilom pomoči v skladu s členom 14 Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 z dne 22. marca 1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 93 Pogodbe ES.
Under Article 14(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, where negative decisions are taken in cases of unlawful aid, the Commission is to decide that the Member State concerned must take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary.
V skladu s členom 14(1) Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 Komisija v primeru negativnih odločb v zvezi z nezakonitimi pomočmi odloči, da mora zadevna država članica sprejeti vse potrebne ukrepe, da upravičenec vrne pomoč.
Germany must therefore take all necessary measures to recover from the beneficiaries the incompatible aid granted.
Nemčija mora torej sprejeti vse potrebne ukrepe, da prejemniki vrnejo dodeljene pomoči, označene kot nezdružljive.
Germany must call upon the beneficiaries concerned to pay back the aid within two months following publication of this decision.
Nemčija mora zadevne prejemnike pozvati, naj pomoči vrnejo v roku dveh mesecev po obvestilu o tej odločbi.
The aid to be recovered includes interest, calculated in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 of 21 April 2004 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999.
Pomoči, ki jih je treba vrniti, vključujejo obresti, ki se obračunajo v skladu z Uredbo Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 z dne 21. aprila 2004 o izvajanju Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999.
Nevertheless, any individual aid granted under this scheme which satisfies, at the time of grant, the conditions laid down by the Commission Regulations adopted on the basis of Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 or by any other approved aid scheme is compatible with the common market to the amount of the admissible intensities.
Kljub temu pa je vsaka pomoč, ki je bila dodeljena po tej shemi pomoči in ki v času dodelitve izpolnjuje pogoje uredb Komisije, sprejetih na podlagi Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 994/98, ali drugih odobrenih shem pomoči, združljiva s skupnim trgom v višini dovoljene intenzivnosti.
Furthermore, the Commission’s experience has shown that very small amounts of aid granted subject to certain conditions do not fall under Article 87(1) of the Treaty.
Poleg tega so izkušnje Komisije pokazale, da zelo majhni zneski pomoči pod določenimi pogoji ne spadajo v člen 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
Under Regulation (EC) No 1860/2004 [23], aid not exceeding EUR 3000 per beneficiary over three years (this amount including the ‘de minimis’ aid granted to any one enterprise) does not affect trade between Member States and does not distort or threaten to distort competition and therefore does not fall under Article 87(1) of the Treaty.
Po Uredbi (ES) št. 1860/2004 [23] pomoč, ki ne presega 3000 EUR na upravičenca v roku treh let (ta znesek vključuje pomoči „de minimis“, ki se dodelijo podjetju), ne vpliva na trgovino med državami članicami in ne izkrivlja oziroma ne ogroža konkurence ter zato ne spada v člen 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
Under Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1860/2004 the same applies to aid granted before its entry into force, provided that the requirements of Articles 1 and 3 thereof are fulfilled.
Enako velja v skladu s členom 5 Uredbe (ES) št. 1860/2004 za pomoči, ki so bile dodeljene pred začetkom veljavnosti Uredbe, pod pogojem, da so izpolnjeni pogoji iz členov 1 in 3.
On 1 January 2008, Regulation (EC) No 1860/2004 has been replaced by Regulation (EC) No 1535/2007 of 20 December 2007 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to the de minimis aid in the sector of agricultural production [24], which increases the amount of de minimis aid to EUR 7500 per beneficiary over any period of three fiscal years, irrespective of the form of the aid or the objective pursued, within the limits of a maximum amount per Member State corresponding to 0,6 % of the value of the annual production.
januarja 2008 je Uredbo (ES) št. 1860/2004 nadomestila Uredba (ES) št. 1535/2007 z dne 20. decembra 2007 o uporabi členov 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES pri pomočeh de minimis v sektorju kmetijske proizvodnje [24], ki zvišuje znesek pomoči de minimis, ne glede na njihovo obliko ali namen, v korist upravičenca na 7500 EUR v poljubnem obdobju treh proračunskih let, v mejah najvišjega zneska na državo članico, ki ustreza 0,6 % vrednosti letne proizvodnje.
Article 6(1) of that Regulation states that ‘this Regulation shall apply to aid granted before 1 January 2008 to undertakings in the sector of agricultural production, provided that such aid fulfils all the conditions laid down in Articles 1 to 4, except for the reference requirement clearly set out in this Regulation in the first subparagraph of Article 4(1)’.
Člen 6(1) iste uredbe navaja, da se „ta uredba uporablja za pomoči, dodeljene pred 1. januarjem 2008 podjetjem v sektorju kmetijske proizvodnje, pod pogojem, da navedene pomoči izpolnjujejo vse pogoje iz členov 1 do 4, razen zahteve po izrecnem sklicevanju na to uredbo iz prvega pododstavka člena 4(1).“
Article 6(2) of the same Regulation states that ‘any de minimis aid granted between 1 January 2005 and six months after entry into force of this Regulation, which fulfils the conditions of Regulation (EC) No 1860/2004 applicable to the sector of agricultural production until the date of entry into force of this Regulation, shall be deemed not to meet all the criteria of Article 87(1) of the Treaty and shall therefore be exempt from the notification requirement of Article 88(3) of the Treaty’.
Člen 6(2) iste uredbe navaja, da se „za vsako pomoč de minimis, dodeljeno med 1. januarjem 2005 in šest mesecev po začetku veljavnosti te uredbe, ki izpolnjuje pogoje iz Uredbe (ES) št. 1860/2004, ki se uporablja za sektor kmetijskih proizvodov do začetka veljavnosti te uredbe, šteje, da ne izpolnjuje vseh meril iz člena 87(1) Pogodbe in je zato izvzeta iz zahteve glede priglasitve iz člena 88(3) Pogodbe.“
Against this background, the Commission considers that a tax reduction up to a maximum amount of EUR 3000 would not constitute State aid if it complied with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1860/2004 at the time it was granted, and that a tax reduction up to the maximum amount of EUR 7500 would not constitute State aid if it complied with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1535/2007 at the time it was granted.
Na podlagi tega Komisija meni, da davčno povračilo do višine 3000 EUR ni državna pomoč, pod pogojem, da so bile v času dodelitve izpolnjene določbe Uredbe (ES) št. 1860/2004, in da davčno povračilo do višine 7500 EUR ni državna pomoč, pod pogojem, da so bile v času dodelitve izpolnjene določbe Uredbe (ES) št. 1535/2007.
The State aid granted to agricultural and forestry undertakings for heating greenhouses or covered areas for crop production under the Law amending the Mineral Oil Tax Law and the Law on the further development of the ecological tax reform, unlawfully put into effect by the Federal Republic of Germany in breach of Article 88(3) of the Treaty, or which it intends to grant to them under the Guidelines Implementation Law, is hereby deemed to be incompatible with the common market to the extent mentioned in points 75 to 77 of the present decision, and must be recovered for the relevant period, where granted.
Državne pomoči za podjetja na področju kmetijstva in gozdarstva za ogrevanje rastlinjakov ali zaprtih prostorov za gojenje rastlin v skladu z Zakonom o spremembi Zakona o davku na mineralno olje in Zakona o nadaljevanju eko davčne reforme, ki jih je Nemčija nezakonito dodelila v nasprotju s členom 88(3) Pogodbe ES ali ki jih želi dodeliti v skladu z Zakonom o prenosu direktiv, niso združljive s skupnim trgom v skladu z odstavki 75 do 77 te odločbe in jih je treba, če so bile dodeljene, izterjati za ustrezno časovno obdobje.
In all other respects, the State aid which the Federal Republic of Germany has granted to agricultural and forestry undertakings for heating greenhouses or covered areas for crop production under the Law amending the Mineral Oil Tax Law and the Law on the further development of the ecological tax reform or which it intends to grant to them under the Guidelines Implementation Law, is hereby deemed to be compatible with the common market,
Poleg tega so državne pomoči za podjetja na področju kmetijstva in gozdarstva za ogrevanje rastlinjakov ali zaprtih prostorov za gojenje rastlin, ki jih je Nemčija dodelila v skladu z Zakonom o spremembi Zakona o davku na mineralno olje in Zakonom o nadaljevanju eko davčne reforme ali ki jih želi dodeliti v skladu z Zakonom o prenosu direktiv, združljive s skupnim trgom –
The State aid scheme applied or intended to be applied by Germany to agricultural and forestry undertakings for heating greenhouses or covered areas for crop production under the Law amending the Mineral Oil Tax Law, the Law on the further development of the ecological tax reform and the Guidelines Implementation Law is incompatible with the common market with respect to the part of the reduction of the tax, which goes beyond the original rate of EUR 40,90/1000 l for heating fuel, of EUR 1,87/MWh for natural gas, and of EUR 25,56/1000 kg for liquid fuel.
Shema državnih pomoči, ki jo je Nemčija uporabila ali načrtovala za podjetja na področju kmetijstva in gozdarstva za ogrevanje rastlinjakov ali zaprtih prostorov za gojenje rastlin v skladu z Zakonom spremembi Zakona o davku na mineralno olje, Zakonom o nadaljevanju eko davčne reforme in Zakonom o prenosu direktiv, je glede dela znižanja davčne stopnje, ki presega prvotno davčno stopnjo 40,90 EUR/1000 l za grelno gorivo, 1,87 EUR/MWh za metan in 25,26 EUR/1000 kg za tekoči plin, nezdružljiva s skupnim trgom.
The State aid scheme applied or intended to be applied by Germany to agricultural and forestry undertakings for heating greenhouses or covered areas for crop production under the Law amending the Mineral Oil Tax Law, the Law on the further development of the ecological tax reform and the Guidelines Implementation Law is compatible with the common market in all other respects.
Shema državnih pomoči, ki jo je Nemčija uporabila ali načrtovala za podjetja na področju kmetijstva in gozdarstva za ogrevanje rastlinjakov ali zaprtih prostorov za gojenje rastlin v skladu z Zakonom spremembi Zakona o davku na mineralno olje, Zakonom o nadaljevanju eko davčne reforme in Zakonom o prenosu direktiv, je sicer združljiva s skupnim trgom.
Germany shall withdraw the part of the scheme referred to in Article 1.
Nemčijo se pozove, naj zahteva vračilo v členu 1 navedene sheme pomoči.
Germany shall take all necessary measures to recover from the beneficiaries the aid referred to in Article 1.
Nemčija sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe, da prejemniki vrnejo pomoči, navedene v členu 1.
The aid to be recovered shall include interest from the date on which the aid became available to the beneficiaries until the date on which it is actually recovered.
Pomoči, ki se vrnejo, vključujejo obresti od datuma, ko so bile pomoči dodeljene prejemniku, do datuma vračila pomoči.
Interest shall be calculated in accordance with Chapter V of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004.
Obresti se izračunajo na podlagi poglavja V Uredbe (ES) št. 794/2004.
Germany shall cancel all payment of outstanding aid referred to in Article 1 with effect from the date of the present decision.
Nemčija od datuma te odločbe ustavi izplačila še neizplačanih pomoči iz člena 1.
Recovery shall be effected without delay and in accordance with the procedures of national law, provided these allow the immediate and effective execution of this Decision.
Vračilo se izvede nemudoma v skladu z nacionalnimi postopki, če ti omogočajo takojšnjo, dejansko izvršitev odločbe.
Germany shall ensure that this Decision is implemented within four months of the date of its notification.
Nemčija zagotovi, da se ta odločba izvede v štirih mesecih od dneva obvestila o tej odločbi.
Germany shall keep the Commission informed of the progress of the national proceedings to implement this Decision until those proceedings have been completed.
Nemčija obvešča Komisijo o poteku nacionalnih postopkov za izvajanje te odločbe, dokler se ne končajo.
Within two months from notification of this Decision, Germany shall submit the following information:

skupni znesek (glavnica in obresti), ki ga mora vrniti vsak upravičenec;
