The aid is thus to be assessed with regard to its compatibility with the 2001 Guidelines and the 2004 Guidelines.
Pomoč je torej treba oceniti glede na njeno združljivost s smernicami iz leta 2001 in smernicami iz leta 2004.

2001 Guidelines
Smernice iz leta 2001
According to point 2.2.3.2 of 2001 Guidelines, applicable to existing aid as from 1 July 2001, aid for the modernisation of commissioned vessels may be deemed compatible with the common market provided that it complies with the relevant requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999.
V skladu s točko 2.2.3.2 smernic iz leta 2001, ki veljajo za obstoječo pomoč od 1. julija 2001, se lahko pomoč za posodobitev plovil, danih v uporabo, obravnava kot združljiva s skupnim trgom, če izpolnjuje ustrezne zahteve iz Uredbe (ES) št. 2792/1999.
Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999
Uredba (ES) št. 2792/1999
Articles 6, 7, 9 and 10 of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 and Annex III thereto require that any entry of new capacity is to be compensated by the withdrawal of a capacity without public aid which is at least equal to the new capacity introduced in the segments concerned.
Členi 6, 7, 9 in 10 Uredbe (ES) št. 2792/1999 in Priloga III k tej uredbi zahtevajo, da se vsak vstop nove kapacitete izravna z umikom kapacitete brez državne pomoči, ki je najmanj enakovredna novi kapaciteti, uvedeni v zadevne segmente.
Until 31 December 2001, where the objectives for the size of the fleet were not yet respected, the withdrawal of capacity should at least have been 30 % more than the new capacity introduced.
Do 31. decembra 2001, ko se cilji glede velikosti flote še niso upoštevali, bi moral biti umik kapacitete vsaj za 30 % večji kot vstop nove kapacitete.
The aid may only be granted where the Member State has submitted the information concerning the application of the multiannual Guidance Programme (‘MAGP’), has complied with its obligations under Council Regulation (EEC) No 2930/86 of 22 September 1986 defining characteristics for fishing vessels [10], has implemented the permanent arrangements for fleet renewal and modernisation under Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999, and has complied with the overall MAGP-objectives.
Pomoč se lahko dodeli le, če država članica predloži informacije o izvajanju večletnega usmerjevalnega programa (MAGP), če deluje v skladu z obveznostmi iz Uredbe Sveta (EGS) št. 2930/86 z dne 22. septembra 1986 o določanju značilnosti ribiških plovil [10], če vzpostavi stalno ureditev za obnovo flote in posodobitev na podlagi člena 6 Uredbe (ES) št. 2792/1999 ter če deluje v skladu s splošnimi cilji večletnega usmerjevalnega programa.
In addition, the aid for the modernisation of fishing vessels can be granted only if the aid does not concern capacity in terms of tonnage or of power.
Razen tega se lahko pomoč za posodobitev ribiških vozil dodeli le, če ne zadeva kapacitete v smislu nosilnosti ali moči.
Finally, the vessels have to be registered in the fleet register and any changes in vessels characteristics must be communicated to this register.
Končno, plovila morajo biti registrirana v ladijskem registru in vse spremembe značilnosti plovila je treba sporočiti temu registru.
The replacement of fishing gear is not eligible.
Zamenjava ribolovnega orodja ni upravičena.
As Shetland is an objective I region, aid may be granted up to 40 % of the total eligible costs.
Ker so Shetlandski otoki regija cilja I, se lahko pomoč dodeli v višini največ 40 % skupnih upravičenih stroškov.
Regulation (EC) No 2369/2002
Uredba (ES) št. 2369/2002
On 1 January 2003, the relevant Articles and Annex of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 were amended by Regulation (EC) No 2369/2002 [11].
Zadevni členi in Priloga k Uredbi (ES) št. 2792/1999 so bili 1. januarja 2003 spremenjeni z Uredbo (ES) št. 2369/2002 [11].
In addition to the existing conditions of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999, the aid for the modernisation of fishing vessels was further restricted in the sense that such aid may only be granted provided that the aid does not serve to increase the effectiveness of the fishing gear.
Poleg obstoječih pogojev iz Uredbe (ES) št. 2792/1999 se je pomoč za posodobitev ribiških plovil dodatno omejila v smislu, da se lahko takšna pomoč dodeli le, če ni namenjena povečanju učinkovitosti ribolovnega orodja.
As regards the condition regarding the fact that the aid may not concern capacity in terms of tonnage or of power, the amendments made by Regulation (EC) No 2369/2002 introduced an exemption to that restriction, allowing such types of aids when they are in line with Article 11(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002 [12], which allows capacity increases in the case of modernisation works over the main deck to improve safety on board, working conditions, hygiene and product quality.
Kar zadeva pogoj v zvezi z dejstvom, da pomoč ne sme zadevati zmogljivosti v smislu nosilnosti ali moči, so spremembe iz Uredbe (ES) št. 2369/2002 uvedle izjemo pri tej omejitvi, ki dovoljuje vrste pomoči v skladu s členom 11(5) Uredbe (ES) št. 2371/2002 [12], ki dovoljuje povečanje zmogljivosti v primeru posodobitvenih del na glavnem krovu za izboljšanje varnosti na krovu, delovnih razmer, higiene in kakovosti proizvodov.
Regulation (EC) No 1421/2004
Uredba (ES) št. 1421/2004
With regard to conditions concerning the replacement of fishing gear, Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 was later amended by Regulation (EC) No 1421/2004 [13], which entered into force on 26 August 2004.
Kar zadeva pogoje za zamenjavo ribolovnega orodja, je bila Uredba (ES) št. 2792/1999 pozneje spremenjena z Uredbo (ES) št. 1421/2004 [13], ki je začela veljati 26. avgusta 2004.
Pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999, as thus amended, replacement of fishing gear could be considered eligible if the vessel is subject to a recovery plan and is required to end its participation in the fishery concerned and fish for other species with different fishing gear.
V skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 2792/1999, kakor je bila spremenjena, se lahko zamenjava ribolovnega orodja obravnava kot upravičena, če je plovilo zajeto v načrt obnovitve ter se zanj zahteva, da opusti svojo udeležbo v zadevnem ribištvu in lovi druge vrste z drugačnim ribolovnim orodjem.
In such a case, the Commission may decide that the first replacement of fishing gear, where fishing possibilities are significantly reduced by a recovery plan, may be considered eligible.
V takšnem primeru lahko Komisija odloči, da se prva zamenjava ribolovnega orodja obravnava kot upravičena, kadar se ribolovne možnosti zaradi načrta obnovitve znatno zmanjšajo.
2004 Guidelines
Smernice iz leta 2004
The 2004 Guidelines should be applied to all existing schemes as from 1 January 2005.
Smernice iz leta 2004 je treba od 1. januarja 2005 uporabljati za vse obstoječe sheme.
With regard to the aid for modernisation of fishing vessels, these guidelines refer to the Articles 9 and 10 of, and point 1.4 of Annex III to, Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 and thus the same conditions continue to apply.
Kar zadeva pomoč za posodobitev ribiških plovil, se te smernice sklicujejo na člena 9 in 10 ter točko 1.4 Priloge III k Uredbi (ES) št. 2792/1999, zato še naprej veljajo enaki pogoji.
From the information provided by the United Kingdom, it can be deduced that, during the period from August 2002 until June 2005, 23 aids were granted for vessel modernisation, including five for replacements of engines and one for a project regarding the auxiliary engine, pump and clutch unit.
Iz informacij, ki jih je predložilo Združeno kraljestvo, je mogoče ugotoviti, da se je v obdobju od avgusta 2002 do junija 2005 pomoč za posodobitev plovil dodelila 23-krat, od tega petkrat za zamenjavo motorjev ter enkrat za projekt v zvezi s pomožnim motorjem, črpalko in sklopko.
According to the United Kingdom, none of those improvements facilitated by the grants affected the gross tonnage or the power of any vessel and therefore the aids were compatible with the conditions of the respective guidelines.
V skladu s podatki Združenega kraljestva ni bila nobena od teh izboljšav, ki jih je omogočila pomoč, povezana z bruto nosilnostjo ali močjo katerega koli plovila, zato je bila pomoč združljiva s pogoji iz ustreznih smernic.
As regards the 17 grants for vessel modernisations, other than the replacement of engines and the project concerning the auxiliary engine, pump and clutch unit, the United Kingdom has provided information showing that the aid complies with the conditions under the Guidelines applicable at the time the aid was granted.
Kar zadeva 17 pomoči za posodobitev plovil, razen zamenjave motorjev ter projekta v zvezi s pomožnim motorjem, črpalko in sklopko, je Združeno kraljestvo predložilo informacije, ki dokazujejo združljivost pomoči s pogoji iz smernic, veljavnih med dodelitvijo pomoči.
However, as regards the remaining six grants, according to Article 9(1)(c)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999, the aid may not ‘concern capacity in terms of tonnage or power’.
Vendar v zvezi z ostalimi šestimi dodelitvami pomoči v skladu s členom 9(1)(c)(i) Uredbe (ES) št. 2792/1999 pomoč ne sme „zadeva[ti] kapacitete, merjene v smislu nosilnosti ali moči“.
The replacement of an engine of a fishing vessel concerns the capacity of the vessel in terms of power and thus no aid may be granted for such purpose.
Zamenjava motorja ribiškega plovila zadeva zmogljivost plovila v smislu moči, zato se za ta namen pomoči ne sme dodeliti.
This was also been confirmed to all Member States by letter dated 5 May 2003 (Reference D(2003)37148) from Mr. Holmquist, Director-General for fisheries.
To so z dopisom (referenca D(2003)37148) generalnega direktorja za ribištvo Holmquista z dne 5. maja 2003 potrdile tudi vse države članice.
In the same line, the aid for the project concerning the auxiliary engine, pump and clutch unit cannot be allowed.
Na enak način se ne sme dovoliti pomoči za projekt v zvezi s pomožnim motorjem, črpalko in sklopko.
As regards the amendments to Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999, referred to in Recital 23, those six modernisation projects have all taken place below deck and can therefore not be regarded as falling within the scope of Article 11(5) of Regulation (EC) No 2371/2002.
Kar zadeva spremembe Uredbe (ES) št. 2792/1999, navedene v uvodni izjavi 23, je teh šest projektov posodobitve potekalo pod krovom in torej ne spadajo na področje uporabe člena 11(5) Uredbe (ES) št. 2371/2002.
In view of the foregoing Recitals 26 to 30, the Commission considers that the aid granted under the scheme for the six modernisation projects concerning the capacity of the vessel in terms of tonnage or power is incompatible with Article 9(1)(c)(i) of Regulation (EC) No 2792/1999 and therefore incompatible the 2001 and 2004 Guidelines.
Ob upoštevanju navedenih uvodnih izjav 26 do 30 Komisija meni, da pomoč, dodeljena na podlagi sheme, za šest projektov posodobitve, ki zadevajo zmogljivost plovila v smislu nosilnosti ali moči, ni združljiva s členom 9(1)(c)(i) Uredbe (ES) št. 2792/1999 ter torej ni združljiva s smernicami iz leta 2001 in leta 2004.
The other aid granted under the scheme is, however, compatible with those conditions.
Vendar je ostala pomoč, dodeljena na podlagi sheme, združljiva s temi pogoji.
Recovery of the aid
Vračilo pomoči
Under Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, where negative decisions are taken in case of unlawful aid, the Commission is to decide that the Member State concerned must take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary.
Na podlagi člena 14(1) Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999 mora Komisija, kadar so sprejete negativne odločbe v primeru nezakonite pomoči, odločiti, da mora zadevna država članica sprejeti vse potrebne ukrepe za vračilo pomoči od upravičenca.
The United Kingdom has raised the issue that the Commission is not to require recovery of the aid if that would be contrary to the principle of the protection of legitimate expectations and claims that this principle applies to this case.
Združeno kraljestvo je izpostavilo, da Komisija ne sme zahtevati vračila pomoči, če bi bilo to v nasprotju z načelom varovanja pravno utemeljenih pričakovanj, ter trdi, da to načelo v tem primeru velja.
The funds used for the financing of the scheme are the same funds used for the aids subject to the negative decisions taken by the Commission in Decisions 2003/612/EC and 2006/226/EC, as referred to in Recital 13 of the present Decision.
Sredstva, ki se uporabljajo za financiranje sheme, so enaka sredstva, kot se uporabljajo za pomoč, glede na negativne odločbe Komisije iz odločb 2003/612/ES in 2006/226/ES, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 13 te odločbe.
In those cases, the Commission considered that these funds must be regarded as State resources for the purposes of Article 87 of the EC Treaty.
V teh primerih je Komisija menila, da je treba ta sredstva obravnavati kot državna sredstva v smislu člena 87 Pogodbe ES.
At the same time, the Commission acknowledged that in the specific circumstances of the cases in question, legitimate expectations as to the private nature of the fund in question had been created on the part of the Shetland Islands Council and bodies involved through the combination of a number of elements taken together which precluded recovery of the incompatible State aid.
Komisija je hkrati priznala, da je v posebnih okoliščinah zadevnih primerov več elementov skupaj izzvalo pravno utemeljena pričakovanja Sveta Shetlandskih otokov in udeleženih organov glede zasebne narave zadevnega sklada, kar je onemogočilo vračilo nezdružljive državne pomoči.
It is considered, however, that in this case the elements taken into account in those two Commission Decisions cannot be applied in the same way and the legitimate expectations have not been created.
Vseeno se obravnava, da se v tem primeru elementi, upoštevani v obeh odločbah Komisije, ne morejo uporabljati na enak način, zato niso nastala pravno utemeljena pričakovanja.
The Commission notes, in particular, the actions and statements from the United Kingdom, clearly showing that, at the respective times of granting of aid, the responsible authorities were convinced that the scheme was, in fact, a State aid scheme and that the rules on State aid were applicable.
Komisija zlasti ugotavlja, da dejanja in izjave Združenega kraljestva jasno kažejo, da so bili med dodeljevanjem pomoči odgovorni organi prepričani, da je shema dejansko shema državne pomoči in da veljajo pravila o državni pomoči.
To reach that conclusion, the Commission observes that, unlike the aids subject to Decisions 2003/612/EC and 2006/226/EC, the scheme in question has been set up as a normal aid scheme and concerns direct grants to fishermen, granted directly by the Shetland Islands Council.
Komisija je pri sprejemanju te odločitve ugotovila, da je bila zadevna shema za razliko od pomoči, za katere veljata odločbi 2003/612/ES in 2006/226/ES, vzpostavljena kot običajna shema pomoči ter zadeva neposredno pomoč za ribiče, ki jo je neposredno dodelil Svet Shetlandskih otokov.
In addition, the specific circumstances of this case clearly show that the United Kingdom authorities themselves considered the State aid rules to be applicable, as they have continuously included the expenditure under the scheme in the annual UK State aid reports submitted to the Commission in accordance with Community obligations.
Razen tega posebne okoliščine tega primera jasno kažejo, da so organi Združenega kraljestva menili, da veljajo pravila o državni pomoči, ker so izdatke na podlagi sheme redno vključevali v letna poročila Združenega kraljestva o državni pomoči in jih predložili Komisiji v skladu z obveznostmi Skupnosti.
In fact, in response to questions raised by the Commission, the United Kingdom stated in its letter dated 10 December 2004 that: ‘payments under the schemes have been included in the Annual State Aid Inventory and sent to the Commission annually, as required, for many years’ and in its letter dated 6 April 2005 that: ‘My authorities have, over many years, acted in good faith and in the belief that the Schemes were compliant with the State aid guidelines’.
Kot odgovor na vprašanja Komisije je Združeno kraljestvo z dopisom z dne 10. decembra 2004 dejansko navedlo, da so „bila plačila na podlagi shem vključena v letni popis državnih pomoči in več let redno predložena Komisiji, kot je bilo zahtevano“; v dopisu z dne 6. aprila 2005 pa je navedlo: „Naši organi so več let delovali v dobri veri in prepričanju, da so sheme združljive s smernicami o državni pomoči.“
Having regard to those statements, and the circumstances of the case, the Commission considers that requiring the recovery of the aid cannot be considered to be contradictory to the general principle of Community law.
Ob upoštevanju teh izjav in okoliščin primera Komisija meni, da zahteva za vračilo pomoči ni v nasprotju s splošnim načelom prava Skupnosti.
Thus, in accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, the Commission considers that the United Kingdom must take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiaries of the scheme, without prejudice to cases falling within the scope of Commission Regulation (EC) No 875/2007 of 24 July 2007 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to de minimis aid in the fisheries sector and amending Regulation (EC) No 1860/2004 [14].
Zato Komisija v skladu s členom 14(1) Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999 meni, da mora Združeno kraljestvo sprejeti vse potrebne ukrepe za vračilo pomoči od upravičencev do sheme brez poseganja v primere, ki spadajo na področje uporabe Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 875/2007 z dne 24. julija 2007 o uporabi členov 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES za pomoč de minimis v ribiškem sektorju in o spremembah Uredbe (ES) št. 1860/2004 [14].
In that respect, it should be pointed out that in accordance with Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, in order to ensure that effective competition be restored, the recovery should include interest.
V tem smislu je treba opozoriti, da je treba v skladu s členom 14(2) Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999 za zagotovitev ponovne učinkovite konkurence v vračilo pomoči vključiti obresti.
This interest should be calculated on a compound basis in accordance with Chapter V of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 [15].
Te obresti je treba izračunati z obrestnoobrestnim računom v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 [15].
The Commission asks the United Kingdom to return to it the attached questionnaire concerning the current status of the recovery procedure and to draw up a list of beneficiaries to which the recovery of aid relates.
Komisija poziva Združeno kraljestvo, da ji vrne priloženi vprašalnik o sedanji stopnji v postopku vračanja in sestavi seznam upravičencev, ki jih zadeva vračilo pomoči.
In the light of the assessment made in Section IV, the Commission finds that the United Kingdom has, in breach of Article 88(3) of the EC Treaty, unlawfully granted aid under the Fishing Vessel Modernisation Scheme.
Glede na oceno iz oddelka IV Komisija ugotavlja, da je Združeno kraljestvo s kršitvijo člena 88(3) Pogodbe ES nezakonito dodelilo pomoč na podlagi sheme za posodobitev ribiških plovil.
The Commission considers that the aid granted under that scheme is compatible with the common market, with the exception of the aid granted for modernisation projects concerning capacity in terms of tonnage or power,
Komisija meni, da je pomoč, dodeljena na podlagi te sheme, združljiva s skupnim trgom razen pomoči, dodeljene za projekte posodobitve v zvezi z zmogljivostjo v smislu nosilnosti ali moči –
The State aid which the United Kingdom has implemented on the basis of the Fishing Vessel Modernisation Scheme is compatible with the common market, as far as it concerns aid granted for modernisation projects not concerning capacity in terms of tonnage or power.
Državna pomoč, ki jo je Združeno kraljestvo dodelilo na podlagi sheme za posodobitev ribiških plovil, je združljiva s skupnim trgom, če gre za pomoč, dodeljeno za projekte posodobitve, ki ne zadevajo zmogljivosti v smislu nosilnosti ali moči.
The State aid which the United Kingdom has implemented on the basis of the Fishing Vessel Modernisation Scheme is incompatible with the common market, as far as it concerns aid granted for modernisation projects concerning capacity in terms of tonnage or power.
Državna pomoč, ki jo je Združeno kraljestvo dodelilo na podlagi sheme za posodobitev ribiških plovil, ni združljiva s skupnim trgom, če gre za pomoč, dodeljeno za projekte posodobitve, ki zadevajo zmogljivost v smislu nosilnosti ali moči.
Individual aid referred to in Article 1(2) of this Decision does not constitute aid if it fulfils the conditions of Regulation (EC) No 875/2007.
Posamezna pomoč iz člena 1(2) te odločbe ne pomeni pomoči, če izpolnjuje pogoje iz Uredbe (ES) št. 875/2007.
The United Kingdom shall take all necessary measures to recover the incompatible aid granted under the scheme referred to in Article 1(2) from the beneficiaries, other than the aid referred to in Article 2.
Združeno kraljestvo sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe za vračilo nezdružljive pomoči, dodeljene na podlagi sheme iz člena 1(2), od upravičencev, razen pomoči iz člena 2.
The aids to be recovered shall include interest from the date on which they were put at the disposal of the beneficiaries until the date of their actual recovery.
Vrnjena pomoč vključuje obresti od datuma, ko je bila pomoč upravičencu na voljo, do datuma dejanskega vračila.
The interest shall be calculated on a compound basis in accordance with Chapter V of Regulation (EC) No 794/2004.
Obresti je treba izračunati z obrestnoobrestnim računom v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe (ES) št. 794/2004.
The United Kingdom shall cancel all outstanding payments of aid under the scheme referred to in Article 1 with effect from the date of adoption of this Decision.
Združeno kraljestvo prekliče vsa neporavnana plačila pomoči na podlagi sheme iz člena 1 z začetkom od datuma sprejetja te odločbe.
The recovery of the aid granted under the scheme referred to in Article 1(2) shall be immediate and effective.
Vračilo pomoči, dodeljene na podlagi sheme iz člena 1(2), je treba izvesti takoj in učinkovito.
The United Kingdom shall ensure that this Decision is implemented within four months following the date of its notification.
Združeno kraljestvo zagotovi, da se ta odločba izvede v štirih mesecih od datuma, ko je bilo o njej uradno obveščeno.
Within two months following the date of notification of this Decision, the United Kingdom shall submit the following information to the Commission:
V dveh mesecih od datuma, ko je bilo o tej odločbi uradno obveščeno, Združeno kraljestvo predloži Komisiji naslednje informacije:
the list of beneficiaries that have received aid referred to Article 1(2) of this Decision that does not fulfil the conditions laid down by Regulation (EC) No 875/2007, and the total amount of aid received by each of them;
seznam upravičencev, ki so prejeli pomoč iz člena 1(2) te odločbe, ki ne izpolnjuje pogojev iz Uredbe (ES) št. 875/2007, in skupni znesek pomoči, ki jo je prejel vsak upravičenec;
the total amount (principal and interest) to be recovered from each beneficiary;
skupni znesek (glavnica in obresti), ki ga mora vrniti vsak upravičenec;
a detailed description of the measures already taken and planned to comply with this Decision; and
podroben opis že sprejetih in načrtovanih ukrepov za delovanje v skladu s to odločbo ter
documents demonstrating that the beneficiaries have been ordered to repay the aid.
dokumente, ki dokazujejo, da se je od upravičencev zahtevalo vračilo pomoči.
The United Kingdom shall keep the Commission informed of the progress of the national measures taken to implement this Decision until recovery of the aid granted under the scheme referred to in Article 1 has been completed.
Združeno kraljestvo obvešča Komisijo o napredku glede sprejetih nacionalnih ukrepov za izvajanje te odločbe, dokler se vračanje pomoči, dodeljene na podlagi sheme iz člena 1, ne konča.
It shall immediately submit any information which the Commission requests on the measures already taken and planned to comply with this Decision.
Združeno kraljestvo takoj predloži vse informacije o že sprejetih in načrtovanih ukrepih za delovanje v skladu s to odločbo, ki jih zahteva Komisija.
