The Belgian authorities have adopted progressive repayment arrangements enabling recovery, once the project has become successful, of the principal and of interest based on the Commission’s reference and discount rate in force at the time the aid was granted.
Belgijski organi so sprejeli progresivne pogoje odplačevanja, ki predvidevajo, da bo podjetje v primeru uspeha projekta, povrnilo glavnico in obresti, izračunane na osnovi referenčne in diskontne stopnje Komisije v veljavi ob dodelitvi pomoči.

The commercial success of the projects is measured in terms of sales projections at the time the aid is granted.
Tržni uspeh projektov se opredeli na osnovi predvidevanj prodaje ob dodelitvi pomoči.
Total sales are taken into account when calculating repayment of the advance.
Pri odplačevanju predplačila se upoštevajo vsi prodani proizvodi.
Electronic Apparatus et XenICS/FOS & S make fixed repayments linked to each sale.
Povračilo, odvisno od prodaje vsakega posamičnega proizvoda, se za podjetji Electronic Apparatus in XenICS/FOS & S ne spreminja.
This fixed payment enables both repayment of the principal and payment of the interest.
S tem nespremenljivim plačilom se odplačujejo glavnica in obresti.
However, Europlasma and Samtech make variable repayments linked to each sale, broken down as follows:
Nasprotno pa se povračilo za prodajo vsakega proizvoda posebej za podjetji Europlasma in Samtech spreminja.
a fixed amount corresponding to the principal of the amount advanced spread over the number of sales defining the success of the project, and
V tem primeru je to spremenljivo plačilo sestavljeno iz: fiksnega zneska, ki ustreza glavnici predplačila, razdeljenega na število prodanih proizvodov, ki opredeljujejo uspeh, in
a variable amount based on sales made, which covers the interest on the outstanding principal of the amount advanced.
spremenljivega zneska, izračunanega glede na prodajo, ki pokriva obresti glavnice še neodplačanega predplačila.
Europlasma makes straight-line repayments.
Odplačevanje podjetja Europlasma je linearno.
Electronic Apparatus makes repayments in stages (five stages of […] shipsets each).
Podjetje Electronic Apparatus odplačuje po stopnjah.
If the programme is interrupted in the middle of a stage before a successful outcome is achieved, the enterprise makes a final repayment in proportion to the sales made since the last stage reached.
Predvidenih je pet stopenj za […] kompletov – „shipsets“. Če se program prekine na sredi stopnje, preden je dosežen uspeh, podjetje odplača zadnji obrok sorazmerno s številom prodanih proizvodov od zadnje dosežene stopnje.
Lastly, Samtech and XenICS/FOS & S make ‘exponential’ repayments in three phases:
Podjetji Samtech in XenICS/FOS & S pa odplačujeta „eksponentno“ v treh fazah:
a first phase corresponding to the first third of sales,
prva faza se ujema s prvo tretjino prodanih proizvodov,
a second phase corresponding to the second third of sales, with repayments twice as high as in the first phase,
druga faza, ki se ujema z drugo tretjino prodanih proizvodov, predvideva dvakrat višja povračila kot prva,
a third phase corresponding to the last third of sales, with repayments three times as high as in the first phase.
tretja faza, ki se ujema s tretjo tretjino prodanih proizvodov, predvideva trikrat višja povračila kot prva.
Since the aid was granted recently, the Belgian authorities have set 31 December 2018 as the final date for repayment for all the contracts listed in Table 2, with the exception of the contract with Samtech, for which the final date is 31 December 2021.
Ker je bila pomoč dodeljena pred kratkim, so belgijski organi določili skrajni rok 31. decembra 2018 za vse pogodbe iz razpredelnice 2, razen za podjetje Samtech, za katero je bil določen skrajni rok 31. decembra 2021.
The Belgian authorities undertake:
Belgijski organi se obvežejo, da bodo:
to amend the initial contracts by 31 December 2006 to bring them into line with the model contracts submitted on 23 November 2006 and the repayment conditions laid down in paragraphs 28 to 36 of this Decision,
najpozneje do 31. decembra 2006 spremenili prvotne pogodbe ter jih uskladili s standardiziranimi obrazci pogodb, predloženimi 23. novembra 2006, in pogoje odplačevanja, opredeljene v uvodnih izjavah 28 do 36 te odločbe,
to submit the amended and signed contracts by 31 December 2006,
najpozneje do 31. decembra 2006 predložili spremenjene in podpisane pogodbe,
to comply with Commission practice as regards repayment conditions if further advances are granted before 31 December 2006 with higher intensities that those specified in the R & D framework,
upoštevali prakso Komisije v zvezi s pogoji odplačevanja, če bodo do 31. decembra 2006 dodeljena nova predplačila z višjo stopnjo intenzivnosti, kot je predvidena za subvencije v okviru R & R,
to take the appropriate measures if new aid were to be granted under this scheme after the entry into force of the Community framework on State aid for research, development and innovation.
ustrezno ukrepali, če bodo po začetku veljavnosti okvira Skupnosti za državne pomoči za raziskave, razvoj in inovacije v okviru te sheme dodeljene nove pomoči.
The scheme is financed by the Belgian Federal Government.
Shemo financira belgijska zvezna vlada.
It confers an advantage on certain component and engine manufacturers in the aircraft industry.
Določenim proizvajalcem opreme in motorjev v letalskem sektorju omogoča prednost.
The advances are repaid only in the event of the commercial success of the product being researched, and in some cases repayments are free of interest.
Predplačilo se vrača le v primeru tržnega uspeha proizvoda, ki je predmet raziskav, določena predplačila pa se odplačajo brez obresti.
This makes the advances more advantageous than loans at market rates.
To pomeni prednost v primerjavi s posojili pod tržnimi pogoji.
Lastly, given that component and engine manufacturers from other Member States operate in this industry, the scheme may distort competition and affect trade between Member States.
Shema bi lahko izkrivljala konkurenco in vplivala na trgovino med državami članicami, glede na to da so v sektorju dejavni tudi proizvajalci letalske opreme in motorjev iz drugih držav članic.
It therefore meets the cumulative criteria for determining the existence of State aid as defined in Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Ukrep izpolnjuje kumulativna merila državne pomoči v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
The total volume of State aid granted under the scheme in question amounts to EUR 82581000, broken down into EUR 41307000 for component manufacturers and EUR 41274000 for engine manufacturers.
Skupni znesek državnih pomoči, dodeljenih v okviru te sheme, je 82581000 EUR, ki se deli na 41307000 EUR za proizvajalce letalske opreme in 41274000 EUR za proizvajalce letalskih motorjev.
Unlawfulness of the State aid
Nezakonitost državne pomoči
The individual aid provided under the scheme was granted under agreements between the State and the beneficiary enterprises.
Za posamezne pomoči v okviru sheme so država in upravičena podjetja sklenili pogodbe.
The model agreement submitted by the Belgian authorities does not have a suspension clause whereby payment of the advances is subject to analysis of the scheme by the Commission in accordance with Community State aid rules.
Standardizirani obrazec pogodbe, ki so ga predložili belgijski organi, ne predvideva klavzule, ki bi odložila izplačilo predplačil zaradi analize ukrepa, ki jo izvaja Komisija v skladu s pravili Skupnosti v zvezi z državnimi pomočmi.
Since the scheme has already been implemented, it must be considered to be unlawful within the meaning of Article 1(b) and (f) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999.
Ker se ukrep že izvaja, ga je treba upoštevati kot nezakonitega v smislu člena 1(b) in (f) Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999.
Compatibility of the State aid
Združljivost državne pomoči
Modification of the aid scheme in accordance with the first alternative described in recital 28 takes away the advantage initially conferred on the beneficiaries by reducing the aid intensity to the level stipulated in the R & D framework (50 % for IR activities and 25 % for PCD activities, plus any applicable bonuses).
Sprememba v skladu s prvo možnostjo, predstavljeno v uvodni izjavi 28, ukinja prednost, ki je bila prvotno omogočena upravičencem z zmanjšanjem intenzivnosti pomoči na stopnjo, ki je predvidena za subvencije v okviru R & R (50 % za dejavnosti IR in 25 % za dejavnosti PR, ki pa se lahko dodatno povečata z bonusi).
Modification of the aid in accordance with the second alternative, which is described in recitals 29 to 36, brings the arrangements for repayment of the advances into line with Commission practice: repayment is progressive and, in the event of success, is increased to the amount of the principal of the advance plus the accrued interest.
S spremembo dodeljenih pomoči v skladu z drugo možnostjo, ki je opisana v uvodnih izjavah 29 do 36, se pogoji odplačevanja predplačila uskladijo s prakso Komisije: povračilo je postopno in se v primeru uspeha dvigne na vsoto glavnice in natečenih obresti.
The aid thus modified is therefore in line with Commission practice.
Tako prilagojene pomoči so torej v skladu s prakso Komisije.
Tables 1 and 2 list the enterprises that have benefited from the scheme so far.
V razpredelnicah 1 in 2 so navedena podjetja, ki so bila doslej upravičena do te sheme.
The Belgian authorities undertake to take away the additional advantage temporarily granted to these enterprises relative to the beneficiaries of aid in the form of repayable advances in the cases hitherto examined by the Commission.
Belgijski organi se obvežejo, da bodo ukinili dodatno prednost, ki so jo začasno omogočili tem podjetjem v primerjavi z upravičenci do pomoči v obliki vračljivih predplačil, ki jih je doslej obravnavala Komisija.
The Commission notes that Belgium has unlawfully implemented the R & D aid scheme for the aircraft industry, under which it has granted aid for component and engine manufacturers in breach of Article 88(3) of the EC Treaty.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je Belgija izvajala nezakonito shemo pomoči za raziskave in razvoj v letalskem sektorju v korist proizvajalcev letalske opreme in motorjev, saj je kršila člen 88(3) Pogodbe ES.
However, Belgium undertakes to adapt this State aid by 31 December 2006 so as to bring it into line with the Community framework on State aid for research and development and with Commission practice,
Vendar se Belgija obveže, da bo pred 31. decembrom 2006 dodeljene državne pomoči prilagodila tako, da bodo združljive z okvirom Skupnosti za državne pomoči za raziskave in razvoj ter s prakso Komisije –
The aid implemented by Belgium for component and engine manufacturers under the aid scheme for research and development in the aircraft industry is compatible with the common market subject to the conditions spelt out in Article 2.
Pomoč, ki jo izvaja Belgija v okviru sheme pomoči za raziskave in razvoj v letalskem sektorju v korist proizvajalcev letalske opreme in proizvajalcev letalskih motorjev, je združljiva s skupnim trgom pod pogoji iz člena 2.
Belgium shall require the beneficiaries of the scheme referred to in Article 1 to repay the advances in accordance with one of the two methods described in recitals 28 to 36.
Belgija od upravičencev do sheme iz člena 1 zahteva, da povrnejo predplačila po eni od metod, ki sta opisani v uvodnih izjavah 28 do 36.
To this end, Belgium shall amend, by 31 December 2006, its contracts with the beneficiaries of the aid scheme referred to in Article 1 so as to bring them into line with the model contracts submitted to the Commission by the Belgian authorities on 23 November 2006, which incorporate the new repayment arrangements described in recitals 28 to 36.
Zato Belgija do 31. decembra 2006 spremeni pogodbe, ki jih je sklenila z upravičenci do sheme pomoči iz člena 1 v skladu s standardiziranimi obrazci pogodb, ki so jih belgijski organi predložili Komisiji 23. novembra 2006 in ki zajemajo nove pogoje odplačevanja, opisane v uvodnih izjavah 28 do 36.
The amended and signed contracts shall be submitted to the Commission by 31 December 2006.
Spremenjene in podpisane pogodbe se predložijo Komisiji do 31. decembra 2006.
Belgium shall inform the Commission within two months of receipt of this Decision of the measures taken to comply with it.
Belgija v dveh mesecih po prejemu te odločbe obvesti Komisijo o ukrepih, ki jih je sprejela, da bi upoštevala to odločbo.
Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1791/2006 (OJ L 363, 20.12.2006, p. 1).

Recovered as the advance is repaid.
Dobljene med odplačevanjem predplačila.
These costs must be eligible costs as defined in Annex II to the R & D framework. Certification costs are excluded.
Upravičeni stroški morajo biti skladni z opredelitvijo iz Priloge II k okviru R & R. Stroški certificiranja niso vključeni.
The Belgian authorities undertake to comply with the rules on cumulation with other schemes and to limit the aid intensity to the maximums specified in the R & D framework. No state aid other than that granted by the Federal Government will be granted for the same project.
Belgijski organi so obvežejo, da bodo spoštovali določbe o kumulaciji pomoči in omejili intenzivnost pomoči na maksimalne vrednosti, ki jih predvideva okvir R & R. Poleg pomoči zvezne vlade za isti projekt ne bo dodeljena nobena druga državna pomoč.
In addition to recovery, with interest, of the surplus aid, repayment of the remaining aid goes beyond the requirements of the R & D framework. The aid thus modified is therefore compatible with that framework.
Poleg povračila z obrestmi presežnega dela pomoči povračilo preostale pomoči presega zahteve okvira R & R. Tako prilagojene pomoči so torej združljive s tem okvirom.
Furthermore, the Belgian authorities undertake to comply with Commission practice as regards arrangements for repayment if, prior to 31 December 2006, further advances are granted with higher intensities than those specified in the R & D framework for grants. They also undertake to take the appropriate measures if new aid is granted under this scheme after the entry into force of the Community guidelines on State aid for research, development and innovation.
Poleg tega se belgijski organi obvežejo, da bodo upoštevali prakso Komisije v zvezi s pogoji odplačevanja, če bodo do konca leta 2006 dodeljena nova predplačila z višjo stopnjo intenzivnosti, kot je predvidena za subvencije v okviru R & R. Obvežejo se tudi, da bodo ustrezno ukrepali, če bodo dodeljene nove pomoči v okviru te sheme po začetku veljavnosti novega okvira Skupnosti za državne pomoči za raziskave, razvoj in inovacije.

Aid arrangements
Načini pomoči
Techspace Aero requested the aid for the aforementioned project from the Belgian Government in 2000.
Techspace Aero je belgijsko vlado zaprosil za pomoč pri izvedbi navedenega projekta v letu 2000.
It was granted by the authorities on 1 October 2003.
Belgijski organi so pomoč odobrili 1. oktobra 2003.
The aid is granted in the form of a repayable advance of a maximum amount of EUR 41274000, of which 65 % is for IR costs and 45 % for PCD costs.
Pomoč je bila odobrena v obliki vračljivega predplačila najvišjega možnega zneska 41274000 EUR, ki ustreza 65 % stroškov za IR plus 45 % stroškov za DPC.
The advance is repaid in stages in the form of a contribution per finished component sold based on the importance of the component, plus contributions based on the turnover generated by sales of replacement parts and by repairs.
Predplačilo se povrne postopoma v obliki prispevka od vsake prodane končne komponente glede na njeno velikost, ter prispevkov od prometa, ustvarjenega s prodajo nadomestnih delov in popravili.
Under the agreement between the Belgian Government and Techspace Aero, the company will not under any circumstances have to pay interest on the amount advanced.
Po dogovoru med belgijsko državo in Techspace Aero tej družbi v nobenem primeru ni treba povrniti obresti na predplačilo.
Repayments will cease when the principal of the advance has been reimbursed.
Ko se povrne glavnica predplačila, se vsa plačila prenehajo izvrševati.
According to the scenario described by the Belgian authorities in letters to the Commission and based, among other projections, on projected sales of […] shipsets by 2018, Techspace Aero is to repay the advance in full by 2019.
Po scenariju, ki so ga belgijski organi opisali med dopisovanjem s Komisijo, in ki med drugim temelji na predvidenem obsegu prodaje […] „sklopov“ do leta 2018, naj bi Techspace Aero v celoti povrnil predplačilo do leta 2019.
