In accordance with the case law of the Court of Justice, the Commission normally considers that the financing of state aid by means of compulsory charges may influence the aid by having a protective effect which goes beyond the aid as such.
V skladu s sodno prakso Sodišča je po mnenju Komisije normalno, da financiranje državne pomoči prek obveznih dajatev lahko vpliva na pomoč, saj ima zaščitniški učinek, ki presega pomoč v pravem pomenu besede.
The levies in question (CVO) are compulsory charges.
Zadevne članarine (OPČ) so dejansko obvezne dajatve.
According to the same case law, the Commission considers that aid may not be financed by parafiscal charges that also apply to products imported from other Member States.
Ob upoštevanju iste sodne prakse Komisija meni, da pomoči ni mogoče financirati z davkom podobnimi dajatvami, ki bremenijo tudi proizvode, uvožene iz drugih držav članic.
The French authorities also explained that, unlike the taxes collected under Community directives on excise duties on alcohol and alcoholic beverages, the inter-branch contributions, by definition, are imposed only on the liqueur wines covered by the registered designations of origin concerned, i.e. exclusively products in the regions specified in the regulations, which means that the CVO is not imposed on liqueur wines from other Member States.
Francoski organi so pojasnili tudi, da za razliko od dajatev, prejetih na podlagi direktiv Skupnosti o trošarinah na alkohol in alkoholne pijače, medpanožne članarine samoumevno zadevajo samo desertna vina z zadevnimi registriranimi označbami porekla, torej izključno proizvode na območjih, omejenih s predpisi, kar pomeni, da jim desertna vina s poreklom iz drugih držav članic niso podvržena.
As regards more particularly wholesalers, it cannot be ruled out that they also market imported products.
Kar natančneje zadeva veletrgovce, ni izključeno, da tržijo tudi uvožene proizvode.
However, the French authorities specified that the inter-branch levy paid by wholesalers will apply only to volumes of the liqueur wines with a registered designation of origin referred to in the notification, i.e. Pineau des Charentes, Floc de Gascogne, Pommeau de Normandie and Macvin du Jura.
Vendar so francoski organi navedli, da so medpanožnemu članskemu prispevku, ki ga plačajo veletrgovci, podvržene samo količine desertnih vin z registrirano označbo porekla, na katere se nanaša priglasitev, to so Pineau des Charentes, Floc de Gascogne, Pommeau de Normandie in Macvin du Jura.
Therefore, imported wine is excluded from payment of the levy.
Tako so vse druge količine uvoženega vina izvzete iz plačila te članarine.
Since only the national liqueur wines with a registered designation of origin covered by the measure are subject to the levy it can be concluded that no imported product is taxed.
Tako je na podlagi dejstva, da je edina obdavčena proizvodnja nacionalna proizvodnja desertnih vin z registrirano označbo porekla, ki jo predvideva ukrep, mogoče sklepati, da noben uvožen proizvod ni obdavčen.
As regards state aid financed by parafiscal charges, the Court has also established other criteria that should be examined here.
V zvezi z državno pomočjo, financirano z davkom podobnimi dajatvami, je Sodišče določilo tudi druga merila, ki bi jih bilo primerno preučiti na tem mestu.
In the Nygård case, the Court laid down that a charge constitutes a breach of the prohibition of discrimination laid down by Article 90 of the Treaty if the advantage conferred by the use of the revenue generated by the charge benefits in particular those national products subject to it that are processed or marketed on the national market by partially offsetting the charge imposed on them, thus placing national products that are exported at a disadvantage.
V zadevi Nygard je Sodišče ugotovilo, da davek pomeni kršitev prepovedi diskriminacije, določene v členu 90 Pogodbe, če prednosti, ki jih prinese dodelitev dohodkov od obdavčenja, koristijo predvsem tistim obdavčenim nacionalnim proizvodom, ki se predelajo ali tržijo na nacionalnem trgu, pri čemer deloma nadomestijo breme, ki ga nosijo ti proizvodi, in tako oškodujejo izvožene nacionalne proizvode.
The aid for promotion and publicity, which is the only aid to be financed by means of the CVO, benefits the marketing sector and may not confer the same benefits on traders who are involved exclusively in sales outside France or outside the European Union.
Pomoč za promocijo in oglaševanje, ki se edina financira z OPČ, koristi sektorju trženja in lahko pomeni drugačen interes za trgovce, da bi se izključno preusmerili na prodajo zunaj Francije ali zunaj Evropske unije.
The French authorities however have given assurances that both the Pineau des Charentes National Committee and the Floc de Gascogne Inter-Branch Committee finance publicity and promotion measures both in France and in the European Union and non-member countries and stress that their decisions are taken fully independently by their management boards, on which all those involved in the sector are represented.
Vendar pa so francoski organi zagotovili, da nacionalni odbor za Pineau des Charentes in medpanožni odbor za Floc de Gascogne financirata oglaševalske ali promocijske dejavnosti v Franciji, Evropski uniji in tretjih državah. V tej zvezi se njuna upravna odbora, v katerih so zastopani vsi akterji zadevnega sektorja, odločata popolnoma svobodno.
On the other hand, the inter-branch organisation of cider designations and the inter-branch committee for the wines of the Jura are said not to be planning, for the moment, to finance measures outside the French market.
Na drugi strani pa medpanožna organizacija za označbe mošta in medstrokovni odbor za vina iz območja Jura trenutno ne predvidevata financiranja ukrepov zunaj francoskega trga.
However, according to the French authorities, the decision to concentrate measures on the French market was taken by the sector itself, which gives priority to consolidating its position on the national market, in the knowledge that the sale of these liqueur wines abroad has not yet become the norm in the trade.
Tako bi po navedbah francoskih organov ta usmeritev ukrepov proti francoskemu trgu izhajala iz politike samega sektorja, ki ocenjuje, da mora imeti prednost izboljšanje njegove prisotnosti na nacionalnem trgu, saj se zaveda, da prodaja teh desertnih vin v tujini še ni prišla v trgovsko prakso.
The French authorities affirm that this policy does not disadvantage any trader, because sales outside France remain marginal and there are no traders specialising in the export trade.
Francoski organi zagotavljajo, da ta usmeritev ni neugodna za nobenega trgovca, saj ostaja prodaja zunaj francoskega trga obrobnega pomena ter ni nobenih trgovcev, ki bi bili specializirani za prodajo za izvoz.
In any event, the French authorities have given an undertaking that exported products will benefit from measures financed by means of the inter-branch levies to the same extent as products marketed in France.
Ne glede na to so se francoski organi zavezali, da izvoženi proizvodi ne bodo nič manj deležni ugodnosti ukrepov, ki se financirajo z medpanožnimi članarinami, kot proizvodi, ki se prodajajo na domačem ozemlju.
The Commission notes this undertaking and is of the opinion that there is nothing in the information provided by France that indicates that there is, at present, any discrimination against exported liqueur wines.
Komisija upošteva to zavezo in meni, da iz podatkov, ki jih je poslala Francija, ni mogoče najti ničesar, kar bi trenutno kazalo na diskriminacijo izvoženih desertnih vin.
However, the Commission draws the attention of the French authorities to the implications of the Nygård judgment as regards discrimination between exported products and products marketed on national territory.
Komisija zato želi francoske organe opozoriti na posledice sodbe Nygard na področju diskriminacije med izvoženimi proizvodi in proizvodi, ki se tržijo na domačem ozemlju.
In particular, the Court ruled that it is up to the national courts to establish the extent of any possible discrimination against particular products.
Sodišče je zlasti ugotovilo, da je nacionalno sodišče odgovorno za ugotovitev obsega morebitne diskriminacije, ki bremeni proizvode.
To that end, they must verify, during a reference period, the financial equivalence of the total amounts levied on national products marketed on the domestic market in connection with the charge in question and the advantages afforded exclusively to those products.
Zato je treba v ta namen v referenčnem obdobju preveriti finančno enakovrednost med skupnimi zneski, prejetimi od prodanih nacionalnih proizvodov na domačem trgu z vidika zadevnega davka, in ugodnostmi, ki so jih deležni izključno ti proizvodi.
Compatibility with other provisions of the Treaty
Združljivost z drugimi določbami Pogodbe
It should be recalled here that state aid, certain of whose conditions contravene other provisions of the Treaty, cannot be declared to be compatible with the common market.
Treba je poudariti, da se državna pomoč, ki z določenimi načini uporabe krši druge določbe Pogodbe, ne more šteti za združljivo s skupnim trgom.
In the present case, the Commission examined whether the complaint lodged by the AEVP against aid N 703/95 concerning a possible infringement of Article 90 of the Treaty was well founded.
V zadevnem primeru je Komisija preučila upravičenost pritožbe ZIVP, izražene zoper pomoč N 703/95, glede možne kršitve člena 90 Pogodbe.
The Commission also notes that the AEVP submitted no comments under the present procedure.
Komisija sicer ugotavlja, da ZIVP ni predložil nobene pripombe v okviru tega postopka.
Article 90 of the Treaty lays down that ‘No Member State shall impose, directly or indirectly, on the products of other Member States any internal taxation of any kind in excess of that imposed directly or indirectly on similar domestic products’.
Člen 90 Pogodbe določa, da „nobena država članica ne uvaja, neposredno ali posredno, kakršnih koli notranjih davkov na izdelke drugih držav članic, ki bi bili višji od davkov, uvedenih neposredno ali posredno na enakovrstne domače izdelke“.
In the present case, the rate of excise duty applicable to liqueur wines in France is the same for French wines and for wines from other Member States.
V zadevnem primeru je višina trošarin, ki se uporablja za desertna vina iz Francije, enaka za francoska vina in vina s poreklom iz drugih držav članic.
If the tax paid by French producers were partially offset by the aid that is restricted to those same producers, meaning that only non-French producers were obliged to pay the full amount of the tax, this would constitute discriminatory internal taxation contrary to Article 90 of the Treaty.
Uvedba diskriminacijskega notranjega davka bi bila v nasprotju s členom 90 Pogodbe samo, če bi se davek, ki ga plačajo francoski proizvajalci, delno nadomestil s pomočjo, ki je rezervirana za te iste proizvajalce, tako da bi morali navedeni davek v celoti plačati samo nefrancoski proizvajalci.
It should first of all be noted that taxes do not fall within the scope of the provisions of the Treaty on state aid unless they constitute the means of financing an aid measure and form an integral part of that aid.
Zato je treba najprej ugotoviti, da dajatve ne spadajo na področje uporabe določb Pogodbe o državni pomoči, razen če ne pomenijo načina financiranja ukrepa pomoči, in da so sestavni del te pomoči.
It follows that the tax on liqueur wines will only have an impact on the appraisal of the compatibility of the planned aid and therefore need be examined here if there is a sufficiently close link between the tax and the aid measures.
Iz tega sledi, da davek na desertna vina ne vpliva na presojo združljivosti načrtovanih pomoči in ga tako na tem mestu ni treba preučevati, razen če ne obstaja zadostna povezava med navedeno dajatvijo in ukrepi pomoči.
The judgment of the Court of Justice of 13 January 2005 in the Streekgewest Westelijk North-Brabant case, handed down after the procedure provided for in Article 88(2) of the Treaty had been opened with respect to the aid covered by this Decision, clarified the circumstances in which a sufficiently close link must be considered to exist between a tax and an aid measure, meaning that the tax can be considered to form an integral part of the aid.
Sodba Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti z dne 13. januarja 2005 v zadevi Streekgewest Westelijk Noord-Brabant, do katere je prišlo po sprožitvi postopka iz člena 88(2) Pogodbe proti pomoči, ki je predmet te odločbe, je pojasnila okoliščine, v katerih je treba upoštevati, da obstaja zadostna povezava med dajatvijo in ukrepom pomoči, tako da je mogoče sklepati, da je dajatev sestavni del pomoči.
Ground 26 of the above judgment stipulates in particular that, for a tax, or part of a tax, to be regarded as forming an integral part of an aid measure, it must be hypothecated to the aid measure under the relevant national rules, in the sense that the revenue from the tax has a direct impact on the amount of the aid and, consequently, on the assessment of the compatibility of the aid with the common market.
Točka 26 obrazložitve navedene sodbe zlasti navaja, da je pogoj za to, da bi dajatev – ali njen del – veljala za sestavni del ukrepa pomoči, da morata biti dajatev in pomoč na podlagi upoštevne nacionalne zakonodaje nujno neločljivo vsebinsko povezani, in sicer tako, da prihodki od dajatve neposredno vplivajo na višino pomoči in posledično na presojo združljivosti te pomoči s skupnim trgom.
In the Streekgewest case, the Court ruled that even if, for the purposes of the budget estimates of the Member State in question, an increase in the amount of the tax is offset by the advantage given (aid), that fact is not sufficient in itself to show that the tax was hypothecated to the tax exemption.
V zadevi Streekgewest je Sodišče ugotovilo, da čeprav je za potrebe sestave proračuna zadevne države članice prišlo do izravnave med povišanjem zneska dajatve in ugodnostjo (pomočjo), ta okoliščina sama po sebi še ne dokazuje, da med dajatvijo in ugodnostjo obstaja neločljiva vsebinska povezava.
In this particular case, France indicated that the tax revenues are paid into the general state budget and that there is no law allowing compensation for excise duties paid by the producers of liqueur wines.
V zadevnem primeru je Francija navedla, da se prihodki od dajatve nakažejo v splošni državni proračun in da ne obstaja nobeno pravno besedilo, ki bi omogočalo nadomestitev trošarin, ki jih plačajo proizvajalci desertnih vin.
None of the information in the possession of the Commission suggests the contrary.
Nobeni podatki, ki jih ima Komisija, sicer ne kažejo nasprotno.
On the basis of this finding, the Commission can therefore conclude that the revenue from the tax on liqueur wines is not hypothecated to the aid granted to those products, without any need to demonstrate the absence of any quantitative link between the amounts levied by France and the amounts spent in the context of the aid measure.
Na podlagi te ugotovitve lahko Komisija torej sklene, da ni prisilne povezave med namembnostjo prihodkov od dajatve na desertna vina in pomočjo, dodeljeno za ta ista vina, in to brez tega, da bi bilo treba dokazati neobstoj morebitne kvantitativne povezave med zneski, ki jih pobere Francija, in zneski, porabljenimi v okviru programa pomoči.
In the alternative case, the Commission also notes that the tables provided by France following the opening of the procedure provided for in Article 88(2) of the Treaty show that there is no quantitative correlation between the revenue from the tax for the various products and the aid granted for those products.
Komisija mimogrede ugotavlja tudi, da številčne razpredelnice, ki jih je Francija poslala po sprožitvi postopka iz člena 88(2) Pogodbe, kažejo, da ne obstaja nobena kvantitativna povezava med prihodki od dajatve za različne proizvode in pomočjo, dodeljeno tem proizvodom.
Since there is no sufficiently close link between the tax and the planned aid, it is not necessary to assess the effects of this tax on the compatibility of the notified measures with the common market, in particular in the light of Article 90 of the Treaty, under the procedure on state aid provided for in Article 88 of the Treaty.
Glede na to, da ne obstaja zadostna povezava med dajatvijo in načrtovano pomočjo, ni treba presoditi učinkov te dajatve na združljivost priglašenih ukrepov s skupnim trgom, zlasti glede na člen 90 Pogodbe, v okviru postopka, predvidenega za državne pomoči v členu 88 Pogodbe.
In the light of the above, the Commission concludes that the aid planned by France is eligible for the derogation provided for in Article 87(3)(c) of the Treaty and can be declared compatible with the common market,
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega je Komisija sklenila, da je pomoč, ki jo načrtuje Francija, upravičena do odstopanja iz člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe in se razglasi za združljivo s skupnim trgom.
The state aid that France plans to implement in favour of producers and traders of liqueur wines totalling EUR 12000000 is compatible with the common market under Article 87(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Državna pomoč, ki jo Francija namerava izvajati za proizvajalce in trgovce desertnih vin v višini 12000000 EUR, je v skladu s členom 87(3)(c) Pogodbe združljiva s skupnim trgom.
The implementation of this aid is therefore authorised.
Izvajanje te pomoči je tako dovoljeno.
This Decision is addressed to the French Republic.
Ta odločba je naslovljena na Francijo.

On 24 March 2003, the Commission received a complaint concerning a number of alleged state aid measures in favour of Schneider Technologies AG (‘Schneider AG’).
marca 2003 je Komisija prejela pritožbo v zvezi z več domnevnimi ukrepi pomoči za Schneider Technologies AG („Schneider AG“).
The complainant, Gebrüder Schneider GmbH & Co. KG, is a holding company which held the shares in Schneider AG and which is owned by two Schneider brothers.
Pritožnik, Gebrüder Schneider GmbH & Co. KG, je holding, ki je imel v lasti delež družbe Schneider AG, njegova lastnika pa sta brata iz družine Schneider.
On 14 July 2004, the Commission initiated the formal investigation procedure with respect to three loans granted by the Bayrische Landesanstalt für Aufbaufinanzierung (Bavarian State Institute for Development Financing — ‘LfA’) and two grants from the Bayrische Forschungsstiftung (Bavarian Research Foundation — ‘BFS’) for research and development (‘R&D’).
julija 2004 je Komisija sprožila formalni postopek preiskave v zvezi s tremi posojili Bayrische Landesanstalt für Aufbaufinanzierung („LfA“) in dvema dotacijama Bayrische Forschungsstiftung („BFS“) za raziskave in razvoj („R&R“).
The Commission's decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 22 February 2005.
Odločitev Komisije o sprožitvi postopka je bila v Uradnem listu Evropske unije objavljena dne 22. februarja 2005.
The Commission invited interested parties to submit comments on the suspected aid.
Komisija je pozvala vse zainteresirane stranke, naj predložijo svoje pripombe glede domnevne pomoči.
