Following an exchange of correspondence between them, Germany informed the Commission by letter of 24 January 2003, registered as received on 28 January, that the plan to provide a guarantee, which had been made conditional on approval being given by the Commission, had been withdrawn.
Po izmenjavi pisem med Komisijo in Nemčijo je Nemčija Komisiji z dopisom z dne 24. januarja 2003, evidentiranim 28. januarja 2003, sporočila, da je bilo načrtovano državno jamstvo, ki je bilo predmet odobritve s strani Komisije, umaknjeno.
The complainant was informed of this by letter of 17 February 2003.
Tožnik je bil o tem obveščen z dopisom z dne 17. februarja 2003.
By letters of 1 July 2003, registered as received on 9 July, and of 8 August 2003, registered as received on 5 September, the complainant submitted further information concerning another public guarantee for the Biria Group and public participations in group companies.
Z dopisom z dne 1. julija 2003, evidentiranim dne 9. julija 2003, in dopisom z dne 8. avgusta 2003, evidentiranim dne 5. septembra 2003, je pritožnik posredoval nadaljnje informacije o drugem državnem jamstvu v korist skupine Biria in o javni udeležbi v podjetjih skupine.
The Commission requested information from Germany by letter of 9 September 2003, to which Germany replied by letter of 14 October 2003, registered as received on 16 October.
Komisija je z dopisom z dne 9. septembra 2003 zaprosila za informacije, ki jih je Nemčija posredovala z dopisom z dne 14. oktobra 2003, evidentiranim 16. oktobra 2003.
It requested on 9 December 2003 further information which Germany submitted by letter of 19 March 2004, registered as received on the same day.
Komisija je z dopisom z dne 9. decembra 2003 zaprosila za dodatne informacije, ki jih je Nemčija posredovala z dopisom z dne 19. marca 2004, evidentiranim istega dne.
On 18 October 2004 the Commission issued an information injunction as it had doubts as to whether the aid measures granted to the Biria Group complied with the schemes under which they had allegedly been granted.
oktobra 2004 je Komisija izdala odredbo o predložitvi podatkov, saj je dvomila, da ukrepi pomoči v korist skupine Biria izpolnjujejo merila, na podlagi katerih so bili ti ukrepi domnevno odobreni.
In response to the information injunction, Germany submitted further information by letter of 31 January 2005, registered as received on the same day.
Kot odgovor na odredbo o predložitvi podatkov je Nemčija posredovala dodatne informacije z dopisom z dne 31. januarja 2005, evidentiranim istega dne.

oktobra 2005 je Komisija sprožila formalni postopek preiskave v zvezi s tremi domnevnimi državnimi pomočmi.
In the same decision it took the view that several other aid measures that were alleged to have been granted unlawfully either did not constitute aid or had been granted on the basis of and in line with approved aid schemes.
V odločitvi o sprožitvi postopka je Komisija zavzela stališče, da več drugih ukrepov pomoči, ki so bili domnevno dodeljeni nezakonito, bodisi ni pomenilo pomoči ali pa niso bili dodeljeni na podlagi in v skladu z odobrenimi programi pomoči.
The Commission invited interested parties to submit comments on the possible aid measures.
Komisija je pozvala vse zainteresirane stranke, naj predložijo svoje pripombe glede domnevne pomoči.

Skupina je leta 2003 zaposlovala 415 delavcev (2002: 490 delavcev) in jo je zato mogoče uvrstiti med velika podjetja.
The parent company, Biria AG, was founded in 2003 as a result of a merger between Biria AG as was and one of its subsidiaries, Sachsen Zweirad GmbH.
Matično podjetje Biria AG je bilo ustanovljeno leta 2003 z združitvijo Birie AG (staro podjetje) s hčerinskim podjetjem Sachsen Zweirad GmbH.
At the same time, the name of the latter was changed from Sachsen Zweirad GmbH into Biria GmbH.
Hkrati se je spremenilo ime podjetja, in sicer iz Sachsen Zweirad GmbH v Biria GmbH.
In April 2005 Biria GmbH was transformed into Biria AG.
Aprila 2005 je sledila sprememba pravne oblike podjetja, iz Biria GmbH (družba z omejeno odgovornostjo) v Biria AG (delniška družba).

On 7 November 2005 Biria AG sold the majority of its assets to two companies in the Lone Star Group, a private equity fund.
novembra 2005 je Biria AG večino svojega premoženja prodala dvema podjetjema skupine Lone Star, zasebnemu delniškemu skladu.
The real estate remains with Biria AG, which rents it to Lone Star Group.
Nepremičnine so ostale v lasti Birie AG, ki jih je dala v najem skupini Lone Star.
The assets were sold for EUR 11.5m. An external expert had put the market price of the assets at EU-10.7m. The company(companies) owned by Lone Star Group now seems(seem) to operate under the name Biria GmbH.
Prodajna cena premoženja je znašala 11,5 milijona EUR. Zunanji strokovnjak je tržno vrednost zadevnega premoženja ocenil na 10,7 milijona EUR. Kot kaže, je(so) podjetje(podjetja) v lasti skupine Lone Star zdaj dejavno(dejavna) pod imenom Biria GmbH.
According to the information submitted by Germany, the sale was carried out through an open, transparent and unconditional tender.
Po navedbah Nemčije je prodaja potekala z odprtim, preglednim in brezpogojnim razpisom.
The tender was published on the Internet and in several print media.
Razpis je bil objavljen na spletu in v več tiskanih medijih.
The involvement of a new investor could take the form of an asset deal, an asset deal ‘en bloc’ or a share deal.
Za udeležbo novega investitorja je bilo predvidenih več možnosti, in sicer odkup sredstev, odkup sredstev „en bloc“ ali pa odkup deležev.
The Lone Star Group ultimately took over the assets by way of an asset deal.
Lone Star je na koncu prevzel premoženje v okviru odkupa sredstev.
According to Germany, the efforts to sell the company got under way before the Commission decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure on 20 October 2005.
Po navedbah Nemčije so se prizadevanja za prodajo podjetja začela pred odločitvijo Komisije z dne 20. oktobra 2005 o sprožitvi formalnega postopka preiskave.
The first bids were to be submitted by 4 October 2005.
Prvi rok za oddajo ponudb se je iztekel 4. oktobra 2005.
Measure 1: In March 2001 gbb Beteiligungs-AG (‘gbb’), a subsidiary of Deutsche Ausgleichsbank, a public-law development bank, provided until end-2010 a silent participation (‘stille Einlage’) to Bike Systems amounting to EUR 2070732.
Ukrep 1: Marca 2001 je gbb Beteiligungs- AG („gbb“), podružnica banke Deutsche Ausgleichsbank (javnopravna razvojna banka), Bike Systems ponudila tiho udeležbo v višini 2070732 EUR z veljavnostjo do konca leta 2010.
According to Germany, the participation was provided on market conditions and so did not constitute state aid.
Po besedah Nemčije je udeležba potekala pod tržnimi pogoji in zato ni pomenila državne pomoči.
Measure 2: On 20 March 2003 the Land of Saxony provided — originally until end-2008 — an 80 % guarantee for an operating credit of EUR 5.6m in favour of Sachsen Zweirad GmbH.
Ukrep 2: 20. marca 2003 je dežela Saška podjetju Sachsen Zweirad GmbH odobrila 80-odstotno jamstvo za kredit za obratna sredstva v višini 5,6 milijona EUR s prvotno veljavnostjo do konca leta 2008.
The guarantee was given back in January 2004 and replaced by a guarantee to Biria GmbH (see Measure 3).
Jamstvo je bilo januarja 2004 vrnjeno in nadomeščeno z jamstvom za podjetje Biria GmbH (glej ukrep 3).
The guarantee was provided under the guarantee scheme for Saxony [3], an aid scheme approved by the Commission.
Jamstvo je bilo dodeljeno na podlagi garancijske sheme za Saško [3], ki spada med programe pomoči, odobrene s strani Komisije.
Measure 3: On 9 December 2003 the Land of Saxony provided an 80 % guarantee for an operating credit amounting to EUR 24875m in favour of Biria GmbH (now Biria AG) to finance the planned increase in turnover and the restructuring of the group's financing plan.
Ukrep 3: 9. decembra 2003 je dežela Saška odobrila 80-odstotno jamstvo za kredit za obratna sredstva v višini 24875000 EUR za podjetje Biria GmbH (zdaj Biria AG), namenjena financiranju načrtovanega povečanja prometa in prestrukturiranju finančnega načrta skupine.
The credit consists of EUR 8m to repay working capital loans, EUR 7.45m as an advance on current account (‘Kontokorrentkredit’) and EU-9425m for seasonal financing needs (‘Saisonfinanzierungslinie’).
Kredit je vključeval 8 milijonov EUR za odplačilo kredita za obratna sredstva, 7,45 milijona EUR kontokorentnega kredita in zneska v višini 9,425 milijona EUR za sezonske finančne potrebe.
The guarantee was provided under the guarantee scheme for Saxony, an aid scheme approved by the Commission.
Jamstvo je bilo dodeljeno na podlagi garancijske sheme za deželo Saško, ki spada med programe pomoči, odobrene s strani Komisije.
It was provided on condition that the guarantee for Sachsen Zweirad GmbH (Measure 2) would be given back.
Jamstvo je bilo zagotovljeno pod pogojem, da se jamstvo za Sachsen Zweirad GmbH (ukrep 2) vrne.
It thus entered into force only on 5 January 2004 after the guarantee to Sachsen Zweirad had been given back.
Tako je jamstvo začelo veljati šele 5. januarja 2004, ko je bilo vrnjeno jamstvo za Sachsen Zweirad.
The Commission initiated the formal investigation procedure since it had doubts as to whether the silent participation was provided on market conditions as claimed by Germany.
Komisija je formalni postopek preiskave sprožila zato, ker je dvomila v navedbe Nemčije, da je bila tiha udeležba izvedena pod tržnimi pogoji.
In its view, Bike Systems had just come out of insolvency through the adoption of an insolvency plan and so its future prospects were uncertain.
Po mnenju Komisije se je Bike Systems s sprejetjem stečajnega načrta ukvarjal s stečajem, tako da je bila prihodnost podjetja negotova.
It should thus have been considered as a company in difficulty at that time.
Zato bi bilo treba podjetje obravnavati kot podjetje, ki je bilo v tistem času v težavah.
The Commission doubted that the remuneration was appropriate taking into account the risk and that the silent participation was provided on market conditions.
Komisija je podvomila, da je bilo plačilo ob upoštevanju tveganja primerno in da je tiha udeležba potekala pod tržnimi pogoji.
As regards possible exemptions under Article 87(2) and (3) of the EC Treaty, the Commission had no information as to whether the conditions laid down in the Community Guidelines on state aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty [4] (‘Community Guidelines’) had been met.
Komisija v zvezi s posebnimi določbami členov 87(2) in 87(3) Pogodbe ES ni imela informacij o tem, ali so bili izpolnjeni pogoji Smernic Skupnosti o državnih pomočeh za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah [4] (v nadaljevanju „Smernice Skupnosti“).
Another reason for initiating the formal investigation procedure was that the Commission came to the provisional conclusion that the conditions of the approved aid scheme under which the guarantees to Sachsen Zweirad GmbH and Biria GmbH had allegedly been provided were not met and that the guarantees were thus not covered by the aid scheme.
Drugi razlog za sprožitev formalnega postopka preiskave je bil začasni sklep Komisije, da pogoji odobrenega programa pomoči, na podlagi katerega so bila domnevno dodeljena jamstva za Sachsen Zweirad GmbH in Birio GmbH, niso bili izpolnjeni in da jamstva ne spadajo v ta program pomoči.
The Commission considered that Sachsen Zweirad GmbH and Biria GmbH were companies in difficulty at the time the guarantees were provided.
Po mnenju Komisije sta bili podjetji Sachsen Zweirad GmbH in Biria GmbH v času dodelitve jamstev podjetji v težavah.
Moreover, since Sachsen Zweirad GmbH and Biria GmbH were large undertakings, the guarantees would have been notifiable individually to the Commission under the aid scheme.
Poleg tega sta bili Sachsen Zweirad GmbH in Biria GmbH veliki podjetji, zato bi bilo treba jamstva tudi po tem programu pomoči posamično priglasiti Komisiji.
As regards possible exemptions under Article 87(2) and (3) of the EC Treaty, the Commission had doubts that the conditions of the Community Guidelines were met.
V zvezi z morebitnimi izjemami po členu 87(2) in (3) Pogodbe ES je Komisija podvomila v to, da so bili izpolnjeni pogoji Smernic Skupnosti.
The Commission received comments from a third party that wished to remain anonymous, from Prophete GmbH & Co. KG and Pantherwerke AG, and from Vaterland-Werke GmbH & Co. KG.
Komisija je prejela pripombe zainteresirane stranke, ki je želela ostati neimenovana, ter pripombe podjetij Prophete GmbH & Co. KG, Pantherwerke AG in Vaterland-Werke GmbH & Co. KG.
Comments from a competitor that wished to remain anonymous
Pripomba konkurenta, ki je želel ostati neimenovan
In its comments on the initiation of the formal investigation procedure, the competitor that wished to remain anonymous argues that, because of the state guarantee of EUR 24.5m, Biria AG could sell bicycles to the competitor's customers at below production costs even though the competitor has the most cost-efficient production site in Germany.
V svoji pripombi v zvezi s sprožitvijo formalnega postopka preiskave je konkurent, ki je želel ostati neimenovan, navedel, da je lahko Biria AG zaradi državnega jamstva v višini 24,4 milijona EUR prodajala potrošnikom kolesa po ceni, ki je znašala celo manj, kot znašajo proizvodni stroški, čeprav ima konkurent najbolj stroškovno učinkovit proizvodni obrat v Nemčiji.
The competitor points out that in 2003 Biria AG could only show profits because of a waiver of bank claims amounting to EUR 8.567m. In 2004 and 2005 Biria AG again recorded losses.
Poleg tega je lahko Biria AG leta 2003 izkazala dobiček le zato, ker so se denarne institucije odpovedale terjatvam v višini 8,567 milijona EUR. V letih 2004 in 2005 je Biria AG ponovno zabeležila izgube.
The competitor also notes that Biria was sold to the Lone Star Group by way of an asset deal.
Konkurent poleg tega opozarja, da je bila Biria prodana skupini Lone Star v okviru odkupa sredstev.
According to the competitor, Sachsen-LB and the Mittelständische Beteiligungsgesellschaft probably waived large amounts of their claims.
Po njegovih besedah sta se Sachsen LB in srednje velik holding verjetno odrekla velikemu delu svojih terjatev.
The new Biria GmbH, which is owned by the Lone Star Group, took over all the assets from Biria AG as was.
Nova Biria GmbH, ki pripada skupini Lone Star, je prevzela vse premoženje stare Birie AG.
Comments from Prophete GmbH & Co. KG and Pantherwerke AG
Prophete GmbH & Co. KG in Pantherwerke AG
In its comments on the initiation of the formal investigation procedure, Prophete GmbH & Co. KG and Pantherwerke AG (‘Prophete and Pantherwerke’) allege that, because of the state aid, Biria can offer its products at prices that it could not maintain under normal market conditions.
V svojih pripombah k sprožitvi formalnega postopka preiskave sta Prophete GmbH & Co in Pantherwerke AG (v nadaljevanju „Prophete in Pantherwerke“) pojasnila, da je lahko Biria zaradi državnih pomoči izdelke prodajala po ceni, ki pod normalnimi tržnimi pogoji ne bi bila mogoča.
The two companies are competitors of Biria and are thus directly affected by the aid.
Obe podjetji sta konkurenta Birie in ju zato pomoč neposredno zadeva.
The Biria Group is the largest producer of bicycles in Germany with an annual production of around 700000 bicycles.
Skupina Biria je največji nemški proizvajalec koles z letno proizvodnjo okoli 700000 koles.
The companies in the group are active in two segments of the bicycle market, i.e. non-specialised trade and specialised trade.
Podjetja skupine Biria so dejavna v dveh segmentih trga koles, in sicer v nespecializirani trgovini in v specializirani trgovini.
The non-specialised trade segment concerns all retail sales by the larger retail chains and catalogue sales.
V segment nespecializirane trgovine spada vsa trgovina na drobno preko večjih maloprodajnih verig in kataloške prodaje.
Bicycles in this segment are priced at between EUR 100 and EUR 199. Prophete and Pantherwerke estimate that the size of the market is around 1.5m bicycles and that, with sales of 650000 bicycles, the Biria Group has a market share of around 50 % in this segment.
Kolesa v tem segmentu stanejo običajno med 100 in 199 EUR. Po ocenah Propheta in Pantherwerka se na tem trgu proda okoli 1,5 milijona koles, Biria pa s 650000 prodanimi kolesi dosega 50 % tržni delež v tem segmentu.
According to Prophete and Pantherwerke, the Biria Group also has a dominant position in the specialised trade segment.
Tudi v specializirani trgovini ima skupina Biria po navedbah Propheta in Pantherwerka prevladujoč položaj.
The size of the market is between 150000 and 200000 bicycles priced at up to EUR 400.
V tem tržnem segmentu je prisotnih med 150000 in 200000 koles.
Pantherwerke is a direct competitor of Biria in this segment.
V specializirani trgovini kolesa dosegajo cene do 400 EUR. Panherwerke je v tem segmentu neposredni konkurent Birii.
Prophete and Pantherwerke have stated for several years that the prices offered by the Biria Group are invariably lower than those offered by other producers.
Prophete in Pantherwerke že več let ugotavljata, da so cene, ki jih ponuja skupina Biria, vseskozi nižje od cen drugih proizvajalcev.
This difference cannot be explained by economic factors since, although the Biria Group has a higher purchase volume because of its dominant market position, this is not reflected in more advantageous conditions.
Te razlike z gospodarskega vidika ni mogoče pojasniti, saj skupina Biria zaradi prevladujočega položaja na trgu dosega večjo prodajo, vendar pa se to ne odraža v ugodnejših pogojih.
Prophete and Pantherwerke estimate that, on account of its low prices, the Biria Group has suffered significant losses in recent years.
Prophete in Pantherwerke ocenjujeta, da je skupina Biria zaradi nižjih prodajnih cen v zadnjih letih pridelala znatne izgube.
As regards the silent participation, Prophete and Pantherwerke have doubts that, given the economic situation of Bike Systems in March 2001, a private investor would have acquired such a silent participation.
V zvezi s tiho udeležbo sta Prophete in Pantherwerke podvomila, da bi glede na gospodarski položaj podjetja Bike Systems marca 2001 kateri izmed zasebnih vlagateljev privolil v takšno udeležbo.
As regards the two guarantees for Sachsen Zweirad GmbH and Biria in 2003 and 2004, Prophete and Pantherwerke regard them as not being compatible with the Community rules on state aid.
Dodelitev obeh jamstev za Sachsen Zweirad GmbH in Birio v letih 2003 in 2004 je po mnenju Prophete in Pantherwerke nezdružljiva s pravili Skupnosti o državni pomoči.
They take the view that the companies were in difficulty at the time the guarantees were provided.
Prophete in Pantherwerke menita, da sta bili upravičeni podjetji v času dodelitve jamstev v težavah.
