COMMENTS BY THE ANONYMOUS THIRD PARTY ON THE SECOND INITIATING DECISION
PRIPOMBE ANONIMNE TRETJE STRANKE V ZVEZI Z DRUGO ODLOČITVIJO O SPROŽITVI POSTOPKA
The observations and requests put forward by the anonymous third party after the second initiating decision are set out below.
Ugotovitve in zahteve, ki jih je predložila anonimna tretja stranka po drugi odločitvi o sprožitvi postopka, so navedene v nadaljevanju.
The third party asked the Commission to declare the aid granted under Law No 808/1985 to be unlawful, and accordingly to order its recovery on the basis of Article 11 of the Procedural Regulation.
Tretja stranka je od Komisije zahtevala izjavo, da je bila pomoč, odobrena v okviru Zakona št. 808/1985, nezakonita, in v skladu s tem zahtevo po vračilu pomoči na podlagi člena 11 postopkovne uredbe.
It asked the Commission to verify the aid instruments used under the scheme.
Komisijo je pozvala, da preveri instrumente pomoči, ki so bili uporabljeni v okviru tega programa.
It asked the Commission to recover any aid granted in violation of state aid rules, on the basis of Article 14 of the Procedural Regulation.
Komisijo je pozvala, da izterja vso pomoč, pri kateri so bila z odobritvijo kršena pravila o državni pomoči, na podlagi člena 14 postopkovne uredbe.
It asked the Commission to require a suspension of future payments under the scheme, on the grounds that there was no proper evidence to show that the aid would be used for R & D purposes.
Komisijo je pozvala, da zahteva začasno ustavitev prihodnjih plačil v okviru tega programa, ker ni bilo ustreznega dokazila, da se bo pomoč uporabila za namene raziskav in razvoja.
It asked the Commission to ensure that Law No 808/1985 was amended so that aid was reimbursed on financial terms consistent with the R & D framework.
Komisijo je pozvala, naj zagotovi spremembo Zakona št. 808/1985, da se pomoč vrne pod finančnimi pogoji, ki so v skladu z okvirom za raziskave in razvoj.
It asked the Commission to widen its investigation further in order to verify the compatibility with the State aid rules of other schemes applying in the aerospace industry in Italy, and to ensure that such schemes were not used to circumvent the Commission's decision on Law No 808/1985.
Komisijo je pozvala, da še razširi svojo preiskavo za preverjanje skladnosti s pravili o državni pomoči drugih programov, ki se izvajajo v letalski industriji v Italiji, in zagotovi, da se takšni programi ne uporabljajo za izogibanje odločitvi Komisije o Zakonu št. 808/1985.
It asked the Commission to require the Italian Government to present a full report every year, which the Commission might if necessary ask to have audited.
Komisijo je pozvala, da od italijanske vlade zahteva predstavitev celotnega poročila vsako leto, za katerega lahko Komisija po potrebi zahteva revizijo.
The anonymous third party annexed a number of documents to its observations, among them the report from the Italian Court of Auditors on the implementation of Law No 808/1985, dated 12 August 2003, with a table referring to 164 projects; the text of the ministerial order dated 14 March 1988; the text of the laws refinancing Law No 808/1985; and extracts from the annual reports of Avio and Finmeccanica for 2003 and 2004.
Anonimna tretja stranka je k svojim ugotovitvam priložila veliko dokumentov, med drugim poročilo italijanskega računskega sodišča o izvajanju Zakona št. 808/1985 z dne 12. avgusta 2003 s tabelo, ki zadeva 164 projektov; besedilo odredbe ministra z dne 14. marca 1988; besedilo zakonov o refinanciranju Zakona št. 808/1985 in izpiske iz letnih poročil družb Avio in Finmeccanica za leti 2003 in 2004.
OBSERVATIONS SUBMITTED BY ITALY REGARDING THE ANONYMOUS THIRD PARTYS COMMENTS ON THE SECOND INITIATING DECISION
UGOTOVITVE, KI JIH JE PREDLOŽILA ITALIJA O PRIPOMBAH ANONIMNE TRETJE STRANKE V ZVEZI Z DRUGO ODLOČITVIJO O SPROŽITVI POSTOPKA
Following the comments of the anonymous third party, the Italian authorities asked for clarification of the scope of the proceedings: did they relate to the whole scheme, or only to aid granted under the scheme in those cases that had to be notified to the Commission individually?
Po pripombah anonimne tretje stranke so italijanski organi zahtevali pojasnilo o področju uporabe postopkov: ali so postopki zadevali celoten program ali le pomoč, odobreno v okviru programa v primerih, ki jih je bilo treba Komisiji priglasiti individualno?
Italy contended that the figures put forward by the anonymous third party, taken from the Ministry's website, covered ground broader than this particular scheme alone.
Italija je trdila, da so podatki s spletne strani ministrstva, ki jih je predložila anonimna tretja stranka, zajemali širše področje od tega programa.
They included not just aid granted under Law No 808/1985 but also other industrial programmes relating to national security ([…]) which were funded under other legislation.
Podatki niso vključevali le pomoči, odobrene v okviru Zakona št. 808/1985, ampak tudi druge industrijske programe v zvezi z nacionalno varnostjo ([…]), ki so se financirali v okviru druge zakonodaje.
Italy argued that the fact that the scheme introduced by Law No 808/1985 allowed for funding of both civilian and military programmes had confused the anonymous third party.
Italija je trdila, da je dejstvo, da je program, uveden z Zakonom št. 808/1985, omogočal financiranje civilnih in vojaških programov, zmedlo anonimno tretjo stranko.
The Court of Auditors had been similarly misled in its report on Law No 808/1985.
Podobno je bilo zavedeno tudi računsko sodišče v svojem poročilu o Zakonu št. 808/1985.
Italy provided the following table comparing the funding referred to in the reports cited by the anonymous third party and the funding provided under Law No 808/1985.
Italija je zagotovila naslednjo tabelo, ki primerja financiranje iz navedenih poročil anonimne tretje stranke in financiranje v okviru Zakona št. 808/1985.

Italy also provided a list of relevant military programmes funded in these years, which it said might explain the discrepancies: […].
Italija je zagotovila tudi seznam pomembnih vojaških programov, financiranih v teh letih, za katerega je menila, da bi lahko pojasnil neskladja: […].
Concerning the annual report of Finmeccanica for the year 2003 referred to by the anonymous third party, Italy argued that a large part of the increase in R & D expenditures was due to the incorporation of Aermacchi into the company (around […]).
V zvezi z letnim poročilom družbe Finmeccanica za leto 2003, na katerega se je sklicevala anonimna tretja stranka, je Italija trdila, da je bil razlog za velik del povečanja stroškov raziskav in razvoja združitev družbe Aermacchi s to družbo (približno […]).
Italy acknowledged that there had been delays in some reimbursements, which it said were due primarily to the long periods of payment (10 to 15 years), so that they should rather be interpreted as late reimbursements.
Italija je priznala, da so bile pri nekaterih vračilih zamude, ki so bile predvsem posledica dolgih plačilnih rokov (10 do 15 let), zato jih je treba obravnavati kot zamude pri vračilu.
Italy acknowledged that there were difficulties with one specific project, the DO328 Extended Capacity, but said it was out of the question that the State should abandon any claim.
Italija je priznala, da so bile težave z enim določenim projektom, DO328 Extended Capacity, vendar je dejala, da ni bilo mogoče preklicati takšne trditve.
In reply to the specific points raised by the anonymous third party, the Italian authorities provided the following arguments.
V odgovoru na posebna vprašanja, ki jih je sprožila anonimna tretja stranka, so italijanski organi zagotovili naslednje dokaze.
The request by the anonymous third party that the Commission should declare unlawful the aid given to the six projects on which it had raised doubts in the first initiating decision, and require that the aid be recovered, was not acceptable.
Zahteva anonimne tretje stranke, da bi morala Komisija razglasiti nezakonitost pomoči, ki je bila dodeljena šestim projektom, o katerih je imela pomisleke v prvi odločitvi o sprožitvi postopka, in zahtevati vračilo pomoči, ni bila sprejemljiva.
It was contrary to Article 11 of the Procedural Regulation.
Ta zahteva je bila v nasprotju s členom 11 postopkovne uredbe.
According to Italy, the proceedings were concerned only with individual applications of the scheme, the projects that the Commission had specifically identified, which were the 13 projects referred to in the first initiating decision.
Po mnenju Italije so bili postopki, ki so bili povezani le s posameznimi zahtevki programa, projekti, ki jih je Komisija posebej opredelila, to je bilo 13 projektov iz prve odločitve o sprožitvi postopka.
Italy had already suspended payments towards those projects pending a final decision by the Commission.
Italija je že začasno ustavila plačila za tiste projekte, ki čakajo na končno odločitev Komisije.
As regards the anonymous third party's request that the Commission impose monitoring conditions and other control measures on a yearly basis, the Italian Government said it was ready to present any report called for under Article 21 of the Procedural Regulation.
V zvezi z zahtevo anonimne tretje stranke, da Komisija uvede pogoje za vsakoletno spremljanje in druge ukrepe nadzora, je italijanska vlada dejala, da lahko predstavi vsako poročilo na podlagi člena 21 postopkovne uredbe.
But the Italian authorities did not agree that additional reporting obligations should be imposed: that would be disproportionate and unfair by comparison with the obligations that other Member States had to comply with in respect of aid schemes in the same industry.
Vendar se italijanski organi niso strinjali, da je treba uvesti dodatne obveznosti poročanja: to bi bilo v primerjavi z obveznostmi, ki so jih morale druge države članice izpolniti v zvezi s programi pomoči v tej industriji, nesorazmerno in nepošteno.
The anonymous third party referred in its observations to the 2004 annual report of Avio, quoting in particular the phrase ‘If no revenues are earned, no reimbursement is due’.
Anonimna tretja stranka se je v svojih ugotovitvah sklicevala na letno poročilo družbe Avio iz leta 2004 in navedla zlasti stavek, da se vračilo ne zahteva, če ni zaslužka iz prihodkov.
The Italian authorities said they had asked the company for an explanation.
Italijanski organi so dejali, da so od družbe zahtevali pojasnilo.
The lawyer consulted by Avio had confirmed that the recipients of aid under the scheme were obliged to reimburse the sums received in full, irrespective of the success of the programme.
Odvetnik, s katerim se je posvetovala družba Avio, je potrdil, da so morali prejemniki pomoči iz tega programa vrniti prejete vsote v celoti, ne glede na uspešnost programa.
Avio had stated that the statements in its 2004 annual report were based on an incorrect interpretation of the scheme, and would be modified in the following annual report.
Družba Avio je dejala, da so izjave iz letnega poročila iz leta 2004 temeljile na napačni razlagi programa in so se v naslednjem letnem poročilu spremenile.
Italy provided information on the other legislation mentioned by the anonymous third party in its observations, indicating that Law No 421/96, Law No 388/00, the 2003 Finance Law and Law No 140/99 (which related specifically to military transport aircraft) were concerned only with the funding of military projects relating to national security.
Italija je zagotovila informacije o drugi zakonodaji, ki jo je v svojih ugotovitvah navedla anonimna tretja stranka, in navedla, da so Zakon št. 421/96, Zakon št. 388/00, Zakon o financah iz leta 2003 in Zakon št. 140/99 (ki zadevajo posebej vojaške transportne zrakoplove) povezani le s financiranjem vojaških projektov o nacionalni varnosti.
On the report by the Court of Auditors, Italy first noted that the anonymous third party had annexed to its comments two ‘tables or charts extracted from fig. 3 and fig. 5’ of the report.
O poročilu računskega sodišča je Italija najprej opozorila, da je anonimna tretja stranka svojim pripombam priložila „dve tabeli ali razpredelnici iz slike 3 in slike 5“ poročila.
These were Excel files that did not appear in the version referred to in the second initiating decision, but only in the Word version of the report.
To sta bili datoteki programa Excel, ki nista bili prisotni v različici iz druge odločitve o sprožitvi postopka, ampak le v različici programa Word poročila.
It was not clear by what investigative methods the anonymous third party had secured access to these tables.
Ni bilo jasno s katerimi preiskovalnimi metodami je anonimna tretja stranka zagotovila dostop do teh tabel.
Italy stressed that in its view it was completely inappropriate to attribute these figures to the Court of Auditors, given that they did not appear as such in the text of the report.
Italija je poudarila, da je bilo po njenem mnenju popolnoma neprimerno pripisati te številke računskemu sodišču, glede na to, da jih v besedilu poročila ni bilo v takšni obliki.
Nevertheless, Italy did provide some observations on the content of the tables, which referred to 164 granting decisions for a total of around EUR 3 billion.
Kljub temu je Italija podala nekaj pripomb o vsebini tabel, ki so zadevale 164 odločb o dodelitvi za skupaj približno 3 milijarde EUR.
There were several mistakes in that total, including sums counted twice and figures for aid that had not been granted.
V skupnem znesku je bilo več napak, vključno z dvakrat štetimi zneski in številkami za pomoč, ki ni bila dodeljena.
The tables also showed projects relating to national security, including some that were funded under other laws and were thus outside the scope of the scheme.
Tabele so prikazovale tudi projekte, ki zadevajo nacionalno varnost, vključno z nekaterimi, ki so se financirali v okviru druge zakonodaje in so bili pri tem izvzeti iz področja uporabe programa.
The correct figure for aid granted on the basis of the scheme was the one supplied in the observations submitted by Italy […].
Pravilne številke o pomoči, ki je bila dodeljena na podlagi programa, so bile številke v ugotovitvah, ki jih je predložila Italija […].
In order to assess the case the Commission will first consider whether there is State aid and how its compatibility should be assessed.
Komisija bo v zvezi z oceno primera najprej preučila, ali državna pomoč obstaja in kako je treba oceniti njeno združljivost.
Second, the Commission will clarify the scope of these proceedings and the correct procedure to be followed.
Drugič, Komisija bo pojasnila področje uporabe teh postopkov in pravilen postopek, ki ga je treba upoštevati.
Third, the Commission will assess whether the doubts expressed in the first initiating decision can de dispelled.
Tretjič, Komisija bo ocenila, ali je mogoče pomisleke iz prve odločitve o sprožitvi postopka odpraviti.
Fourth, the decision will list the projects to which it relates and on the basis of the information available will assess their compatibility, including any conditions to be imposed in order to ensure that they are properly applied.
Četrtič, v odločitvi bodo navedeni projekti, ki jih zadeva, pri čemer bo na podlagi informacij, ki so na voljo, ocenjena njihova skladnost, vključno z vsemi pogoji, ki bodo uvedeni za zagotavljanje ustreznega izvajanja projektov.
Finally, the Commission will draw conclusions on the individual projects, and explain why its conclusions do not concern the two helicopters whose military character was questioned in the second initiating decision.
Nazadnje bo Komisija oblikovala sklepne ugotovitve o posameznih projektih in razložila, zakaj njene ugotovitve ne zadevajo dveh helikopterjev vojaške narave, zaradi katere so bili v drugi odločitvi o sprožitvi postopka sproženi pomisleki.
Existence of aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty and applicable compatibility guidelines
Obstoj pomoči v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES in veljavne smernice o združljivosti
A measure constitutes aid caught by Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty if state resources are used in a manner that distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings, and trade between Member States is affected.
Ukrep pomeni pomoč iz člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES, če se državna sredstva uporabljajo na način, ki izkrivlja ali bi lahko izkrivljal konkurenco z dajanjem prednosti posameznim podjetjem, in to vpliva na trgovino med državami članicami.
As indicated in the first and second initiating decisions, the measures under assessment constitute aid.
Ukrepi iz ocene, kot navedeno v prvi in drugi odločitvi o sprožitvi postopka, pomenijo pomoč.
This assessment has not been disputed by Italy, or by any of the parties that have intervened in the proceedings.
Italija ali katera koli druga stranka, ki je sodelovala v postopkih, tej oceni ni nasprotovala.
The loans provided under Law No 808/1985 are clearly selective, because they benefit only companies operating in the aeronautical sector.
Posojila iz Zakona št. 808/1985 so očitno selektivna, ker koristijo le podjetjem, ki delujejo v letalskem sektorju.
These loans are provided via funds coming from the State budget, and therefore involve the use of state resources.
Ta posojila se zagotovijo s sredstvi iz državnega proračuna in zato vključujejo uporabo državnih sredstev.
The loans do not bear interest, thus conferring an advantage on companies receiving them over companies that have to finance their projects on market terms.
Posojila nimajo obresti, pri čemer pomenijo prednost za podjetja, ki prejmejo ta posojila, pred drugimi podjetji, ki morajo svoje projekte financirati pod tržnimi pogoji.
In a soft loan the element of advantage is the difference between the interest that the undertaking would have to pay on an equivalent loan on commercial terms and the special low interest rate, which in the present case is zero.
Pri ugodnem posojilu je prednost razlika med obrestmi, ki bi jih moralo podjetje plačati za enakovredno posojilo pod trgovinskimi pogoji, in posebno nizko obrestno mero, ki v tem primeru znaša nič odstotkov.
The principal is always reimbursed according to the schedule fixed at the time of granting, and the aid is the sum of the interest payments forgone by the State.
Glavnica se vedno vrne v skladu z določenim časovnim okvirom v času odobritve, pri čemer je pomoč vsota plačil obresti, ki se jim država odreče.
In most cases, the projects involved here concern products where there is large-scale intra-Community trade (helicopters, small aircraft, or sometimes parts of larger aircraft).
V večini primerov tukaj vključeni projekti zadevajo proizvode z obsežnim trgovanjem v Skupnosti (helikopterji, manjši zrakoplovi ali včasih deli večjih zrakoplovov).
The support granted by Italy to R & D projects in the aeronautical industry under Law No 808/1985 thus falls within the scope of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Podpora, ki jo je za projekte za raziskave in razvoj v letalski industriji v okviru Zakona št. 808/1985 odobrila Italija, torej spada na področje uporabe člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
Italy and the intervening parties also agree that the compatibility of the aid with the Treaty should be assessed on the basis of the rules concerning the application of Article 87(3)(c) to R & D aid.
Italija in sodelujoče stranke se prav tako strinjajo, da je treba skladnost pomoči s Pogodbo oceniti na podlagi pravil o uporabi člena 87(3)(c) za pomoč za raziskave in razvoj.
The aid under assessment was granted unlawfully, as it was never notified by Italy.
Pomoč, ki se ocenjuje, je bila odobrena nezakonito, ker je Italija nikoli ni priglasila.
