In addition to the transfers mentioned in paragraphs 34 and 35 — which are considered to be the public service broadcasters' regular sources of funding, the public broadcasters were granted several payments on an ad hoc basis.
Poleg prenosov, navedenih v odstavkih 33 in 2.3.1, ki se obravnavajo kot redni viri financiranja javnih radiotelevizijskih postaj, so javne radiotelevizijske postaje prejele več plačil na ad hoc podlagi.
These were either made directly to the broadcasters or channelled through special funds and reserves.
Ta plačila so se izvršila neposredno radiotelevizijskim postajam ali so se usmerila prek posebnih skladov in rezerv.
Matching funds payments
Plačila iz dopolnilnih sredstev
The matching funds are an earmarked part of the media budget.
Dopolnilna sredstva so namenski del medijskega proračuna.
The conditions under which the funds can be distributed were adopted by mutual agreement between the State and the public broadcasters.
Pogoji, pod katerimi se lahko denarna sredstva razdelijo, so bili sprejeti z medsebojnim sporazumom med državo in javnimi radiotelevizijskimi postajami.
If the public broadcasters are unable to fund the purchase of rights which have increased excessively in price from their regular budget, the State will make a contribution, i.e. co-finance the acquisition of these rights by providing a matching amount.
Če javne radiotelevizijske postaje iz svojih rednih proračunov ne morejo kupiti pravic, katerih cena je preveč narasla, bo finančna sredstva za odkup prispevala država, tj. sofinancirala bo odkup teh pravic z zagotovitvijo enakega zneska.
Broadcasting Reserve Fund (FOR) payments
Plačila iz Rezervnega sklada za radiodifuzijo (FOR)
In 1998 the Minister of Education, Culture and Science was given the possibility, under Article 106a of the Media Act, of transferring money on an ad hoc basis from the AOR, which is managed by the Media Authority, to a fund intended to finance specific initiatives of the PO and the public service broadcasters.
Minister za izobraževanje, kulturo in znanost je leta 1998 v skladu s členom 106a Zakona o medijih dobil možnost, da na podlagi ad hoc plačil prenese denar iz AOR, ki ga upravlja Organ za medije, v sklad, namenjen za financiranje posebnih pobud PO in javnih radiotelevizijskih postaj.
The fund, referred to as the FOR, was established in 1999 and is controlled by the PO.
Sklad, v nadaljnjem besedilu FOR, je bil ustanovljen leta 1999 in je pod nadzorom PO.
The principle is that, if the AOR exceeds €90,8 million, there is scope for a transfer to the FOR.
Če sklad AOR preseže 90,8 milijona EUR, načeloma obstaja možnost prenosa sredstev v sklad FOR.
This, however, is not an automatic process.
Vendar to ni samodejen proces.
Each year the Minister of Education, Culture and Science decides whether a transfer is possible and if so, how much can be transferred.
Vsako leto se minister za izobraževanje, kulturo in znanost odloči, ali je prenos možen, in če je, kolikšen znesek se lahko prenese.
Where such a transfer is approved, the rules are laid down in a protocol.
Kadar se tak prenos odobri, so pravila določena v protokolu.
Such protocols were established in 1999 and 2001.
Takšna protokola so pripravili leta 1999 in 2001.
On the basis of Article 99 2(d) of the Media Act, the budget must also contain a description of how the Board of Management proposes to spend the money.
Na podlagi Zakona o medijih (člen 99(2)(d)) mora biti v proračunu tudi obrazloženo, kako namerava Upravni odbor porabiti denar.
Based on this proposal, the Minister can then make available to the PO funds from the FOR, which can be used for purposes established by the Minister when making the money available.
Minister lahko na podlagi tega predloga zagotovi razpoložljiva denarna sredstva iz sklada FOR za PO, ki se lahko uporabijo za namene, ki jih določi minister ob zagotovitvi razpoložljivih denarnih sredstev.
Although the FOR is a fund dedicated to PO initiatives, it is not a reserve that is part of the assets of the PO.
Čeprav je FOR sklad, namenjen pobudam organa PO, ni rezerva, ki je del sredstev organa PO.
The funds available in the FOR make it possible for the PO to give a qualitative impetus, improve programming and invest in the public broadcasters in general.
Razpoložljiva denarna sredstva iz sklada FOR, omogočajo, da daje organ PO kakovostno spodbudo, izboljša načrtovanje programov in vlaga v javne radiotelevizijske postaje na splošno.
More specifically, the goal of the FOR is to:
Natančneje je cilj sklada FOR:
offset reduced STER advertising income;
nadomestiti manjši prihodek od oglaševanja fundacije STER;
strengthen the variety and quality of programming where this involves extra initial costs; and
okrepiti raznolikost in kakovost načrtovanja programov, kadar to vključuje dodatne začetne stroške, ter
fund investments which support Dutch public service broadcasting as a whole.
financirati naložbe, ki podpirajo nizozemske storitve javne radiodifuzije kot celote.
By 2005 the public broadcasting system had received €191,2 million from the FOR, of which €157,4 million was transferred to the individual public service broadcasters and €33,8 million to the PO.
Do leta 2005 je sistem javne radiodifuzije iz sklada FOR prejel 191,2 milijona EUR, od tega se je 157,4 milijona EUR preneslo posameznim javnim radiotelevizijskim postajam in 33,8 milijona EUR organu PO.
Co-Production Fund (CoBo) payments
Plačila iz Sklada za koprodukcijo (CoBo)
The Co-Production Fund (Coproductiefonds Binnenlandse Omroep: hereinafter ‘CoBo Fund’) was created to finance co-productions between Dutch public broadcasters and other programme producers.
Sklad za koprodukcijo („Coproductiefonds Binnenlandse Omroep“, v nadaljnjem besedilu „CoBo“) je bil ustanovljen za financiranje koprodukcij med nizozemskimi javnimi radiotelevizijskimi postajami in drugimi programskimi producenti.
Its income comes from revenues generated by the copyright payments paid by Belgian and German cable operators for the distribution of the three Dutch channels in Belgium and Germany.
Njegov prihodek izhaja iz prihodkov, ustvarjenih s plačili belgijskih in nemških kabelskih operaterjev za avtorske pravice za distribucijo treh nizozemskih kanalov v Belgiji in Nemčiji.
The Fund was established by the public broadcasters and is managed through a foundation.
Sklad so ustanovile javne radiotelevizijske postaje in se upravlja prek fundacije.
The board of the Fund consists of managers from the public broadcasters.
Odbor sklada sestavljajo direktorji javnih radiotelevizijskih postaj.
In 1994 the Dutch authorities decided to make payments to two sub-funds managed by the CoBo Fund, the ‘Film Fund’, which finances co-productions of films and documentaries, and the ‘Telefilm’ project, which aims to stimulate the production of high-quality television films.
Leta 1994 so se nizozemski organi odločili, da bodo izvršili plačila dvema podskladoma, ki ju upravlja sklad CoBo, in sicer „Filmskemu skladu“, ki financira koprodukcije filmov in dokumentarnih oddaj, ter projektu„Telefilm“, katerega namen je spodbujanje produkcije kakovostnih programskih televizijskih filmov.
The reserves held by the individual broadcasters
Rezerve, ki jih imajo posamezne radiotelevizijske postaje
Each public service broadcaster maintains certain reserves, which are, typically, a programme reserve and either an association or a foundation reserve, depending on whether the public service broadcaster is a foundation or an association.
Vsaka javna radiotelevizijska postaja ima določene rezerve, ki so običajno programska rezerva oziroma društvena ali fundacijska rezerva, odvisno od tega, ali je javna radiotelevizijska postaja fundacija ali združenje.
Programme reserves
Programske rezerve
Individual public service broadcasters are allowed to increase their reserves when total revenues exceed total costs.
Posamezne javne radiotelevizijske postaje lahko svoje rezerve povečajo, ko skupni prihodki presežejo skupne stroške.
These programme reserves can be used to cover programme costs in future years.
Te programske rezerve se lahko uporabijo za kritje programskih stroškov v prihodnjih letih.
According to the Dutch authorities, the value of programmes which have been produced but not yet broadcast is added to the programme reserves.
Po navedbah nizozemskih organov se vrednost programov, ki so bili narejeni, vendar jih še niso oddajali, doda k programskim rezervam.
The programme reserves thus also reflect the value of programmes already produced.
Tako programske rezerve kažejo tudi vrednost že narejenih programov.
In 2005 the total programme reserves held by the individual public broadcasters amounted to €78,6 million.
Leta 2005 je skupni znesek programskih rezerv, ki so jih imele posamezne javne radiotelevizijske postaje, znašal 78,6 milijona EUR.
In 2005 the PO also decided that part of the programme reserves should be transferred to the PO itself, but the broadcasters were allowed to maintain reserves of up to 5-10 % of their annual budget.
Prav tako se je leta 2005 PO odločil, da bi bilo treba del programskih rezerv prenesti na sam organ PO, vendar se je radiotelevizijskim postajam dovolilo, da so obdržale rezerve v višini 5–10 % svojega letnega proračuna.
The public broadcasters transferred to the PO an amount of €42,457 million.
Javne radiotelevizijske postaje so na organ PO prenesle 42,457 milijona EUR.
Association reserves
Društvene rezerve
The public service broadcasting associations originated as private law entities.
Združenja javnih radiotelevizijskih postaj so izhajala iz subjektov javnega prava.
Over the years they have built up their own association reserves from contributions and legacies received from their members.
Z leti so si ustvarila svoje društvene rezerve iz prispevkov in zapuščin, prejetih od svojih članov.
The association reserves thus originated from private resources.
Društvene rezerve so tako izhajale iz zasebnih virov.
In 1993 the Dutch government decided to ‘freeze’ the association reserves.
Leta 1993 se je nizozemska vlada odločila, da „zamrzne“ društvene rezerve.
As of that moment, in principle, the profits generated by association activities and other non-public activities had to be used for public service activities and could no longer be transferred to the association reserves.
Od takrat naprej je bilo treba načeloma vse dobičke, ustvarjene z društvenimi dejavnostmi in drugimi nejavnimi dejavnostmi, porabiti za dejavnosti javnih storitev in se jih ni smelo več prenesti v društvene rezerve.
In 2005 the public service broadcasters in the Netherlands had a total association reserve of approximately €131,1 million.
Leta 2005 so skupne društvene rezerve javnih radiotelevizijskih postaj na Nizozemskem znašale približno 131,1 milijona EUR.
Foundation reserve NOS RTV and smaller broadcasters
Fundacijske rezerve postaje NOS RTV in manjših radiotelevizijskih postaj
The NOS RTV, NPS and other smaller broadcasters without members (Article 39f of the Media Act) hold a ‘foundation’ reserve’ (‘stichtingsreserve’).
NOS RTV, NPS in druge manjše radiotelevizijske postaje brez članov (člen 39f Zakona o medijih) imajo „fundacijsko rezervo“ („stichtingsreserve“).
The overall level of the foundation reserves was €42,2 million in 2005.
Skupni znesek fundacijskih rezerv je leta 2005 znašal 42,2 milijona EUR.
Advertising on public service channels
Oglaševanje na javnih televizijskih kanalih
As explained in paragraph 17, the STER is responsible for selling advertising time on public service channels.
Kot je bilo že pojasnjeno v odstavku 16, je fundacija STER odgovorna za prodajo oglaševanja na javnih televizijskih kanalih.
The other main companies selling TV advertising time which are active on the Dutch market are IP and SBS.
Drugi dve glavni družbi, ki tržita televizijsko oglaševanje in delujeta na nizozemskem trgu, sta IP in SBS.
IP sells advertising time on behalf of the commercial broadcasters RTL4, RTL5 and Yorin.
IP trži oglaševanje v imenu komercialnih radiotelevizijskih postaj RTL4, RTL5 in Yorin.
SBS sells advertising time for its commercial broadcasters SBS6, Net 5 and Veronica.
SBS trži oglaševanje za svoje komercialne radiotelevizijske postaje SBS6, Net 5 in Veronica.
In addition to IP and SBS there are a few other commercial broadcasters who also sell advertising time.
Poleg družb IP in SBS obstaja še nekaj drugih komercialnih radiotelevizijskih postaj, ki prav tako tržijo oglaševanje.
The rates charged by the STER are calculated on the basis of forecasts from advertising agencies, competitors' rates and price history.
Tarife, ki jih zaračuna STER, se izračunajo na podlagi napovedi oglaševalskih agencij, cenikov konkurentov in zgodovine gibanja cen.
Table 1 below shows the evolution of the audience share of the public service broadcasters for which STER manages the sale of advertising.
Preglednica 1 spodaj prikazuje razvoj deleža gledalcev javnih radiotelevizijskih postaj, za katere fundacija STER izvaja trženje oglaševanja.
The audience share of viewers aged 13+ has declined in recent years from 38,8 in 1997 to 35,4 % in 2005.
Delež gledalcev, starih nad 13 let, je v zadnjih letih z 38,8 % v letu 1997 padel na 35,4 % v letu 2005.
For the 20-49 category, the audience share is even lower, at 27,2 %.
Za kategorijo gledalcev, starih med 20 in 49 let, je delež celo še nižji, tj. 27,2 %.
Audience share 13+ and 20-49 years old (18.00h - 24.00h), 1997 - 2005
Delež gledalcev, starih nad 13 let, ter gledalcev, starih od 20 do 49 let, (18:00–24:00), v obdobju med leti 1997 in 2005
Letter of 24.2.2006 from Dutch authorities.
dopis nizozemskih organov z dne 24. februarja 2006.
Since 1994, the gross revenue (based on list prices) and net revenue (taking into account discounts granted) generated by the commercial broadcasters on the advertising market have exceeded the revenue generated by the public broadcasters.
Od leta 1994 naprej so bruto prihodki (na podlagi cen po ceniku) in neto prihodki (ob upoštevanju odobrenih popustov), ki so jih ustvarile komercialne radiotelevizijske postaje na oglaševalskem trgu, presegli prihodke, ki so jih ustvarile javne radiotelevizijske postaje.
Gross revenues from TV advertising 1994 - 2005 (amounts x €1 million)
Bruto prihodki od televizijskega oglaševanja v obdobju med leti 1994 in 2005 (zneski x 1 milijon EUR)
Commercial broadcasters
Komercialne radiotelevizijske postaje
Net revenues from TV advertising, 1994 - 2005 (amounts x €1 million)
Neto prihodki od televizijskega oglaševanja v obdobju med leti 1994 in 2005 (zneski x 1 milijon EUR)
As can be inferred from Tables 1, 2 and 3, there is a difference between gross revenues from TV advertising and revenues net of discounts.
Kot je mogoče ugotoviti iz preglednic 1, 2 in 3, obstaja razlika med bruto prihodki od televizijskega oglaševanja in prihodki brez popustov.
According to the Dutch authorities, not only are the published tariffs of the public service broadcasters higher, but also the discounts that they grant are lower in comparison with commercial broadcasters.
Po podatkih nizozemskih organov niso višji samo objavljeni ceniki javnih radiotelevizijskih postaj, ampak so tudi popusti, ki jih odobrijo, nižji v primerjavi s komercialnimi radiotelevizijskimi postajami.
Acquisition of football rights by the NOS RTV
Odkup pravic za prenos nogometnih tekem s strani NOS RTV
During the period under investigation the NOS RTV obtained broadcasting rights for several important football events.
V obdobju preiskave je NOS RTV pridobil pravice televizijskega razširjanja za več pomembnih nogometnih prireditev.
The commercial broadcaster Canal+ (pay-TV) obtained the rights for the live matches of the Dutch premier league.
Komercialna televizijska postaja Canal+ (plačljiva televizija) je pridobila pravice za neposredni prenos tekem prve nizozemske nogometne lige.
The rights for the Champions League were also partly sublicensed to Canal+ by the NOS RTV.
Za pravice za prenos tekem Lige prvakov je NOS RTV delno izdal tudi podlicenco postaji Canal+.
The commercial broadcaster SBS obtained the broadcasting rights of two national football cups.
Komercialna radiotelevizijska postaja SBS je pridobila pravice televizijskega razširjanja dveh nacionalnih nogometnih pokalov.
It also obtained the rights to the Dutch first division matches and the qualification matches of the Dutch team for the European Championship 2004.
Prav tako je pridobila pravice za tekme druge nizozemske nogometne lige in kvalifikacijske tekme nizozemske reprezentance za Evropsko prvenstvo 2004.
The broadcasting rights for various foreign football competitions are held by CLT-UFA, Europe's largest broadcasting group (the parent company of e.g. RTL).
Pravice televizijskega razširjanja za različna tuja nogometna tekmovanja ima CLT-UFA, največja evropska skupina za radiodifuzijo (matično podjetje na primer postaje RTL).
Relation between broadcasters and cable operators
Povezava med radiotelevizijskimi postajami in kabelskimi operaterji
Traditional cable transmission is seen as a separate publication for the purpose of copyright under Dutch law.
Tradicionalni kabelski prenos se za namen avtorskih pravic v skladu z nizozemsko zakonodajo obravnava kot ločena objava.
In principle, the permission of all copyright holders is required, and the copyright holder may claim a payment from the cable operator for the publication.
Načeloma je potrebno dovoljenje vseh lastnikov avtorskih pravic, lastnik avtorske pravice pa lahko od kabelskega operaterja zahteva plačilo za objavo.
Since 1985 there has been an agreement between the VECAI (representing the cable operators) and the NOS RTV (representing the public broadcasters) under which the cable operators are exempted from making copyright payments to the public broadcasters (the copyright holders) when their programmes are transmitted via cable.
Od leta 1985 med družbo VECAI (ki zastopa kabelske operaterje) in NOS RTV (ki zastopa javne radiotelevizijske postaje) velja sporazum, v skladu s katerim so kabelski operaterji oproščeni plačil avtorskih pravic javnim radiotelevizijskim postajam (lastnikom avtorskih pravic), kadar se njihovi programi prenašajo po kabelskem omrežju.
This agreement was made at the request of the Dutch Government, on the grounds that citizens already paid a contribution for public broadcasting.
Ta sporazum je bil sklenjen na zahtevo nizozemske vlade, glede na to, da so državljani že plačali prispevek za javno radiodifuzijo.
It was considered that a copyright payment from cable operators, which could result in higher cable subscription fees, would be undesirable.
Ocenjeno je bilo, da bi bilo plačilo avtorskih pravic od kabelskih operaterjev, ki bi lahko povzročilo višje cene naročnin, nezaželeno.
Commercial broadcasters have not asked for copyright payments from the cable operators either.
Poleg tega tudi komercialne radiotelevizijske postaje niso zahtevale plačila avtorskih pravic od kabelskih operaterjev.
However, this is not related to the aforementioned agreement with the public service broadcasters.
Vendar to ni povezano z zgoraj navedenim sporazumom z javnimi radiotelevizijskimi postajami.
It should be noted that cable operators are legally obliged to transmit all the public broadcasters' radio and TV programmes (‘must carry’ obligation) and cannot charge broadcasters for the transmission costs.
Treba je poudariti, da so kabelski operaterji pravno zavezani prenašati vse radijske in televizijske programe javnih radiotelevizijskih postaj (obveznost prenosa) in radiotelevizijskim postajam ne smejo zaračunati stroškov prenašanja.
The measures subject to this Decision
Ukrepi, ki so predmet te odločbe
As set out in the decision to open the formal investigation procedure, the following measures are the subject of this Decision:
Kot je navedeno v odločbi o sprožitvi formalnega postopka preiskave, so predmet te odločbe naslednji ukrepi:
payments from the Co-production Fund (CoBo).
plačila iz sklada za koprodukcijo (CoBo).
The CoBo Fund consists of two specific sub-funds, the Film Fund and the Telefilm project.
CoBo sestavljata dva posebna podsklada, Filmski sklad in Projekt Telefilm.
In the period 1994-2005 the State granted €31,7 million to the public broadcasters via the CoBo Fund.
V obdobju med letoma 1994 in 2005 je država javnim radiotelevizijskim postajam dodelila 31,7 milijona EUR prek sklada CoBo.
Ensured access to the cable, known as the ‘must carry’ obligation, laid down in Article 82i of the Media Act.
zagotovljen dostop do kabla, znan kot obveznost prenosa, kot je navedeno v členu 82i Zakona o medijih;
Provision of technical facilities by NOB free of charge, provided for in Articles 89 and 90 of the Media Act.
brezplačno zagotavljanje tehničnih sredstev s strani NOB, kot je navedeno v členih 89 in 90 Zakona o medijih.
GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE PROCEDURE AND ARGUMENTS OF THE PARTIES
RAZLOGI ZA SPROŽITEV POSTOPKA IN TRDITVE ZAINTERESIRANIH STRANK
3 SUMMARY OF THE GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE PROCEDURE
POVZETEK RAZLOGOV ZA SPROŽITEV POSTOPKA
After its initial investigation, the Commission concluded that certain measures, with the possible exception of the ‘must carry’ obligation, constituted state aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Komisija je po svoji prvotni preiskavi ugotovila, da nekateri ukrepi, z možno izjemo glede obveznosti prenosa, pomenijo državno pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
The Commission also expressed doubts about the compatibility of such state aid under Article 86(2) of the EC Treaty.
Komisija je poleg tega izrazila dvome glede združljivosti takšne državne pomoči v skladu s členom 86(2) Pogodbe ES.
Regarding the proportionality of the funding, the Commission doubted whether costs and revenues were allocated according to clearly established cost accounting principles.
V zvezi s sorazmernostjo financiranja je Komisija dvomila, da so bili stroški in prihodki dodeljeni v skladu z jasno določenimi stroškovno računovodskimi načeli.
The Commission doubted whether non-public service revenues were fully taken into account when calculating the need for state funding, leading to a risk of funding going beyond the net costs of the public service.
Komisija je dvomila, ali so se prihodki iz nejavnih storitev v celoti upoštevali pri izračunu potrebe po državnem financiranju, zaradi česar je nastalo tveganje, da bo financiranje preseglo neto stroške javnih storitev.
Furthermore, the Commission considered that the level of funds in the FOR and the programme reserves was an indication of structural over-compensation.
Poleg tega je Komisija menila, da je višina sredstev v skladu FOR in programskih rezervah označevala strukturno prekomerno nadomestilo.
The Commission noted that, of the total ad hoc payments, an amount of €110 million (based on figures of 2001) had not been used.
Komisija je ugotovila, da znesek v višini 110 milijonov EUR od skupnih ad hoc plačil ni bil porabljen (na podlagi podatkov za leto 2001).
Moreover, the Commission expressed its intention to investigate whether competition in commercial markets had been unlawfully distorted.
Poleg tega je Komisija izrazila svoj namen, da bo raziskala, ali ni bila konkurenca na komercialnih trgih neupravičeno izkrivljena.
The Commission stressed that such distortion of competition could occur in the markets for advertising, intellectual property rights for cable transmission and football transmission rights.
Komisija je poudarila, da bi se lahko takšno izkrivljanje konkurence pojavilo na trgu oglaševanja, pravic intelektualne lastnine za kabelski prenos in pravic za prenos nogometnih tekem.
Finally, the NOB is not allowed to charge the public broadcasters for the services it provides, but receives payments for this task directly from the State.
NOB za zagotavljanje svojih storitev javnim radiotelevizijskim postajam ne sme zaračunavati, ampak za to nalogo dobiva plačila neposredno od države.
The Commission noted that the provision of technical facilities free of charge could constitute aid to the public broadcasters.
Komisija je ugotovila, da bi lahko brezplačno zagotavljanje tehničnih sredstev pomenilo pomoč javnim radiotelevizijskim postajam.
The following comments relevant for this Decision were provided.
V zvezi s to odločbo so bile poslane naslednje pripombe.
