In its Decision to initiate the procedure, the Commission took the view that the repayable advances constituted State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty. In this connection, it noted that the measures conferred an advantage on AFR in that the firm, given its financial situation, could not have raised funds on such favourable terms on the financial market.
Komisija je v odločitvi o sprožitvi postopka menila, da sta vračljivi predplačili državna pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe Komisija je v zvezi s tem predvsem poudarila, da so ukrepi prinesli koristi družbi AFR, ker podjetje zaradi svojega finančnega položaja na finančnem trgu ne bi moglo dobiti sredstev pod tako ugodnimi pogoji.

The privatisation process
Postopek privatizacije
On 19 and 21 May 2007 the Romanian privatisation agency, AVAS, announced the sale of its participation of 72 % in Automobile Craiova.
Dne 19. in 21. maja 2007 je romunska privatizacijska agencija AVAS objavila prodajo svojega 72 % deleža v podjetju Automobile Craiova.
Although several undertakings had previously submitted non-binding letters of interest, only two potential investors, Ford Motor Company (‘Ford’) and General Motors (‘GM’), bought the Information Memorandum (i.e. the presentation file), which gave them access to the information contained in the Data Room and allowed them eventually to submit a final and binding bid.
Čeprav je več podjetij predhodno posredovalo nezavezujoče ponudbe, sta samo dva potencialna ponudnika, Ford Motor Company („Ford“) in General Motors („GM“), kupila informacijski memorandum (ti. predstavitveni dokument), kar jima je omogočilo dostop do informacij, vsebovanih v podatkovni sobi in da sta končno posredovala končno in zavezujočo ponudbo.
The presentation file contained certain conditions relating in particular to minimum production, employment and investment levels.
Predstavitveni dokument je vseboval posebne pogoje, ki so določali minimalno raven proizvodnje, število zaposlenih in znesek naložb.
The scoring grid showed that the price offered represented only 35 % of the total scoring, with aggregate investments accounting for 25 %, the achievement of a production integration level of 60 % in the fourth year accounting for 20 % and the commitment to a production level of 200000 cars in the fourth year accounting for 20 %.
Točkovna mreža je pokazala, da je ponujena cena predstavljala le 35 % celotne ocenjene vrednosti, pri čemer je bil delež skupnih naložb 25 %, da je doseganje 60 % stopnje integracije proizvodnje v četrtem letu znašala 20 % in da je zaveza za ohranitev obsega proizvodnje 200000 avtomobilov v četrtem letu znašala 20 %.
If the offered integration level was below 60 % and/or if this level would be achieved only after four years, the investor would score 0 points.
Če bi bila ponujena raven integracije pod 60 % in/ali bi bila ta raven dosežena šele po štirih letih, bi vlagatelj dobil 0 točk.
The same applied to the production level, where, if the offered production level was lower than 200000 cars in the fourth year and/or if a longer period would be needed to reach this production level, the investor would also score 0 points.
Enako velja za obseg proizvodnje, kjer bi, če bi bil ponujen obseg proizvodnje manj kot 200000 avtomobilov v četrtem letu in/ali bi bilo za doseganje tega obsega proizvodnje treba podaljšati obdobje, bi vlagatelj prav tako dobil 0 točk.
The deadline for submitting final offers was 5 July 2007.
Rok za posredovanje dokončnih ponudb se je iztekel 5. julija 2007.
Being the only party to submit a binding bid, Ford was awarded the tender.
Ker je bil Ford edina stranka, ki je posredovala zavezujočo ponudbo, je bil na razpisu izbran.
Initially it offered a price of EUR 55 million and, after the subsequent negotiations, one of EUR 57 million.
Na začetku je ponudil ceno v višini 55 milijonov EUR in pozneje, po naknadnih pogajanjih, novo ponudbo v višini 57 milijonov EUR.
During the negotiation phase following the bidding process, the parties agreed that Ford, the buyer, would obtain through a reorganisation ownership of the industrial assets of Automobile Craiova, DWAR and Mecatim, while the non-core assets (mostly real estate and net excess cash) would be set aside and remain in state ownership.
V fazi pogajanj, ki je sledila postopku ponudbe, sta se stranki sporazumeli, da bo Ford kot kupec skozi reorganizacijo obdržal lastnino na industrijskih sredstvih podjetij Automobile Craiova, DWAR in Mecatim, medtem ko se manj pomembna sredstva (večinoma nepremičnine in presežna neto gotovina) izločijo in ostanejo v državni lasti.
The State also undertook to use its best efforts to purchase the remaining 28 % from the private shareholders and sell them to Ford.
Poleg tega se je država obvezala, da bo naredila vse, kar je v njeni moči, da odkupi še preostalih 28 % delnic od zasebnih delničarjev, in da jih proda Fordu.
The sales purchase agreement was signed on 12 September 2007.
Kupoprodajna pogodba je bila podpisana 12. septembra 2007.
DECISION TO INITIATE THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE AND TO ISSUE A SUPSENSION INJUNCTION
ODLOČBA O ZAČETKU FORMALNEGA POSTOPKA PREISKAVE IN O IZDAJI ODREDBE O ZAČASNEM ODLOGU
The formal investigation procedure was initiated on account of suspicions that the privatisation process entailed State aid.
Formalni postopek preiskave se je začel zaradi sumov, da je proces privatizacije vključeval državno pomoč.
First, the Commission had doubts whether the tender itself was open, transparent and non-discriminatory.
Prvič, Komisija je izrazila dvome o tem, da je bil razpis odprt, pregleden in nediskriminatoren.
According to the information available at the time, which was based mostly on press articles, the Commission had grounds to assume that certain potential investors have been disadvantaged at an early stage and deterred from submitting a bid.
Na podlagi tedaj razpoložljivih informacij, ki so v glavnem temeljile na časopisnih člankih, je Komisija utemeljeno predpostavljala, da so bili nekateri potencialni vlagatelji v začetni fazi postavljeni v neugodni položaj in odvrnjeni od predložitve ponudbe.
Second, the Commission doubted that the conditions attached to the privatisation did not lead to a reduction in the sales price, thereby conferring an advantage on the undertaking to be privatised.
Drugič, Komisija je dvomila, da pogoji, povezani s privatizacijo, niso povzročili znižanja prodajne cene, s čimer so ponudili prednost podjetju, ki se privatizira.
According to the information available at the time of the decision to initiate the procedure, AVAS attached four conditions which were liable to reduce the sales price and might have deterred other potentially interested parties from submitting a bid.
Na podlagi informacij, ki so bile na voljo ob sprejetju odločbe o začetku postopka, je AVAS priložil štiri pogoje, ki naj bi zmanjšali prodajno ceno in bi lahko odvrnili druge potencialno zainteresirane strani od predložitve ponudbe.
The price offered accounted for only 35 % of the total score.
Ponujena cena je znašala samo 35 % skupnega števila točk.
Further, the Commission wondered whether the Romanian authorities attached an employment guarantee to the privatisation.
Nadalje je Komisijo zanimalo, ali so romunski organi privatizacijo povezali z jamstvom zaposlovanja.
According to the presentation file, the potential bidders had to present a business plan, including their commitment to maintain the current number of employees.
Na podlagi predstavitvenega dokumenta so potencialni ponudniki morali predstaviti poslovni načrt, vključno z zavezo, da bodo ohranili trenutno število zaposlenih.
Also, the draft SPA attached to the presentation file stipulates the obligation for the buyer to maintain for the next five years the current number of employees; in the event of the buyer breaching its obligation, the SPA will de jure become null and void, without any notification or additional formality.
Poleg tega je v osnutku SPA, priloženem k predstavitvenemu dokumentu določena obveznost, da mora kupec v naslednjih petih letih ohraniti trenutno število zaposlenih; v primeru, da kupec prekrši svojo obveznost, bo SPA de jure postal ničen in neveljaven, brez kakršne koli priglasitve ali dodatne formalnosti.
Finally, the Romanian authorities informed potential buyers before the publication of the privatisation announcement that one of the main objectives of the privatisation was to maintain the current workforce.
Končno so romunski organi pred objavo napovedi o privatizaciji potencialne kupce obvestili, da je bil eden glavnih ciljev privatizacije ohraniti trenutno število zaposlenih.
Lastly, the Commission had suspicions that the renegotiation of certain terms during the negotiation phase following the tender conferred an advantage on Ford, the buyer.
Nazadnje je Komisija tudi sumila, da so ponovna pogajanja o nekaterih pogojih v fazi pogajanja po razpisu ponudila prednost podjetju Ford, to je kupcu.
According to the information available at that stage, it seemed that the Romanian State undertook to take over actual and potential claims against Automobile Craiova, including a customs claim of EUR 800 million. Further, during the subsequent negotiations, the State and Ford reached an agreement to reorganise the company in such a way that the core activity (production of cars) would be separated from the non-core assets, in particular real estate.
Na podlagi informacij, ki so bile na voljo v tisti fazi postopka, je kazalo, da je romunska država sklenila izterjati dejanske in potencialne terjatve do podjetja Automobile Craiova, vključno s carinsko terjatvijo 800 milijonov EUR. Poleg tega sta se med naknadnimi pogajanji država in podjetje Ford sporazumela, da bosta družbo reorganizirala tako, da bo osrednja dejavnost (proizvodnja avtomobilov) ločena od stranskih sredstev, zlasti nepremičnin.
Following this reorganisation, Ford would acquire and pay for the industrial activity only and the State would retain ownership of the land.
Po tej reorganizaciji bi podjetje Ford pridobilo in plačalo samo za industrijsko dejavnost, država pa bi obdržala lastništvo na zemljišču.
Since Romania went ahead and signed the privatisation contract despite its repeated warnings, the Commission issued at the same time a suspension injunction.
Ker je Romunija šla še naprej in kljub večkratnim opozorilom podpisala pogodbo o privatizaciji, je Komisija hkrati izdala odredbo o začasnem odlogu.
COMMENTS FROM ROMANIA
PRIPOMBE ROMUNIJE
First, Romania emphasises that the tender process was open, transparent, non-discriminatory and unconditional.
Kot prvo Romunija poudarja, da je bil razpisni postopek odprt, pregleden, nediskriminatoren in brezpogojen.
The first announcement regarding the intention to privatise DWAR, published on 5 December 2006, and the announcement published on 9/12 March 2007 do not contain any pre-qualification or selection criteria, let alone any conditions which needed to be met by bidders.
Prva napoved o nameri za privatizacijo podjetja DWAR, objavljena 5. decembra 2006, in napoved, objavljena 9./12. marca 2007, ne vsebujeta meril za predhodno ugotavljanje sposobnosti ali izbire, še manj pogoje, ki naj bi jih ponudniki morali izpolnjevati.
Moreover, the announcement on the privatisation published on 18/21 May 2007 did not contain any mandatory conditions, but simply award criteria which would allow the different bids to be scored.
Poleg tega napoved o privatizaciji, objavljena 18./21. maja 2007, ni vsebovala kakšnih obvezujočih pogojev, ampak preprosto merila za dodelitev, ki bi naj omogočila točkovanje različnih ponudb.
Further, Romania claims that the increase in the employment level was never a criterion in the tender procedure.
Poleg tega Romunija trdi, da povečan obseg zaposlovanja nikoli ni bil merilo razpisnega postopka.
In conclusion, all potential bidders had access to all the information available since the entire privatisation process was transparent.
Vsi potencialni ponudniki so torej imeli dostop do vseh razpoložljivih informacij, zato je bil celoten postopek privatizacije pregleden.
Therefore, no potential bidder was deterred from submitting an offer.
Torej noben potencialni ponudnik ni bil odvrnjen od predložitve ponudbe.
Second, Romania argues that neither the presentation file nor the draft SPA imposed mandatory conditions without the possibility for potential bidders to negotiate them.
Drugič, Romunija trdi, da niti predstavitveni dokument niti osnutek SPA nista vsiljevala zavezujočih pogojev, ne da bi se potencialni ponudniki imeli možnost o njih pogajati.
It explains that AVAS initially intended to privatise DWAR as a whole but, during the privatisation process it decided to give potential bidders the option to bid only for the industrial assets (i.e. excluding the real estate).
To razloži, zakaj je AVAS prvotno nameraval DWAR privatizirati v celoti, vendar se je med procesom privatizacije odločil potencialnim ponudnikom ponuditi izbiro, da dajo ponudbo samo za industrijska sredstva (tj. razen nepremičnin).
It stresses that, from the outset, all potential bidders were aware that the real estate was not included in the privatisation offer but would be sold separately.
Poudarja, da so se potencialni ponudniki od samega začetka zavedali, da nepremičnine niso bile vključene v ponudbo za privatizacijo, ampak da se bodo prodale ločeno.
