As already stated in its decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure, the Commission decided not to assess whether the non-recovery of the social security contributions for the period between 31 October 2003 and 31 March 2004 constituted State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Kot je Komisija že navedla v svoji odločitvi o sprožitvi formalnega postopka preiskave, je sklenila, da ne bo ocenila, ali nevračilo prispevkov za socialno varnost za obdobje od 31. oktobra 2003 do 31. marca 2004 pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
This event occurred before Slovakia's accession to the European Union and did not apply thereafter.
To se je zgodilo pred pristopom Slovaške republike k Evropski uniji in ta ureditev se pozneje ni uporabljala.
Therefore, the Commission does not have the power to assess the compatibility of the measure with the common market.
Komisija zato nima pooblastil, da bi ocenila združljivost ukrepa s skupnim trgom.
The data show that SLK paid all the social security contributions accrued between 31 October 2003 and 31 March 2004, which is in fact a necessary condition for the write-off of the penalty payments.
Podatki kažejo, da je družba SLK plačala vse prispevke za socialno varnost, ki so nastali med 31. oktobrom 2003 in 31. marcem 2004, kar je dejansko potreben pogoj za odpis denarnih kazni.
Compatibility of aid: Derogation under Article 87(3) of the EC Treaty
Združljivost pomoči: odstopanje po členu 87(3) Pogodbe ES
Article 87(2) and (3) of the EC Treaty provide for exemptions to the general incompatibility of State aid, as stated in paragraph (1) of the same Article.
Člena 87(2) in 87(3) Pogodbe ES določata izjeme v zvezi s splošno nezdružljivostjo državne pomoči iz člena 87(1).
The Commission issued the Framework for the purpose of assessing aid to shipbuilding.
Komisija je Okvir izdala za namene ocenjevanja pomoči ladjedelništvu.
According to the Framework, shipbuilding means the building, in the Community, of self-propelled seagoing commercial vessels.
V skladu z Okvirom ladjedelništvo pomeni gradnjo morskih trgovskih plovil na lastni pogon v Skupnosti.
The activities of SLK fall under this definition and the aid to SLK, therefore, has to be assessed in the light of the Framework.
Dejavnosti družbe SLK spadajo v okvir te opredelitve, zato je treba pomoč družbi SLK oceniti v smislu Okvira.
Point 26 of the Framework stipulates that regional aid for shipbuilding, ship repairs or ship conversion may be deemed compatible with the common market only if the aid is granted for investment in upgrading or modernising existing yards that is not linked to a financial restructuring of the yard(s) concerned and has the objective of improving the productivity of existing installations.
Točka 26 Okvira določa, da se regionalna pomoč za gradnjo, popravilo ali predelavo ladij lahko šteje za združljivo s skupnim trgom samo, če je odobrena za naložbe v nadgradnjo ali posodobitev obstoječe(-ih) ladjedelnice (ladjedelnic), ki niso v zvezi s finančnim prestrukturiranjem zadevne(-ih) ladjedelnice (ladjedelnic), in je usmerjena v izboljšanje produktivnosti obstoječih obratov.
The aid intensity may not exceed 22,5 % in Article 87(3)(a) regions or the applicable regional aid ceiling, whichever is the lower.
Intenzivnost pomoči v regijah iz člena 87(3)(a) Pogodbe ES ne sme presegati 22,5 % oziroma zgornje meje, ki se uporablja za regionalne pomoči, pri čemer se upošteva nižja vrednost.
In the present case, the ceiling of 22,5 % is applicable.
V tem primeru se uporablja zgornja meja, ki znaša 22,5 %.
Furthermore, the aid must be limited to support eligible expenditure as defined in the applicable Community guidelines on regional aid (Regional Aid Guidelines) [5].
Poleg tega je treba pomoč omejiti na upravičene izdatke v skladu z opredelitvijo v veljavnih Smernicah Skupnosti o regionalni pomoči [5] („Smernice o regionalni pomoči“).
The modernisation — Projects SP 01, SP 05 and SP 09
Posodobitev – projekti SP 01, SP 05 in SP 09
The Commission's doubts as to whether these sub-projects constitute investment in modernisation of the existing yard with the aim of improving the productivity of existing installations have been allayed.
Pomisleki Komisije, ali ti podprojekti pomenijo naložbo v posodobitev obstoječe ladjedelnice z namenom izboljšanja produktivnosti obstoječih obratov, so bili odpravljeni.
The Commission considers that sub-project SP 01 does constitute a modernisation project, as it contributes to the streamlining of the production process and addresses fundamental problems with the current layout of the yard.
Komisija meni, da podprojekt SP 01 ne pomeni projekta posodobitve, ker prispeva k racionalizaciji proizvodnega postopka in obravnava temeljne težave sedanje ureditve ladjedelnice.
First, it will enable the yard to produce larger sections on shore and thus liberate it from its dependency on the natural conditions on the river Danube.
Prvič, ladjedelnici bo omogočil proizvajanje večjih sestavnih delov na kopnem, zaradi česar ne bo več odvisna od naravnih razmer na reki Donavi.
Second, the efficiency of the assembly process will be improved, as the yard will be able to construct larger sections.
Drugič, izboljšala se bo učinkovitost montažnega postopka, ker bo lahko ladjedelnica gradila večje sestavne dele.
Third, the section outfitting will be done at an earlier stage in the production process, which will bring efficiency gains, compared to the current practice of carrying out the outfitting on completed hulls, particularly in the case of the piping.
Tretjič, opremljanje sestavnih delov se bo izvajalo v zgodnejši fazi proizvodnega postopka, s čimer se bo izboljšala učinkovitost v primerjavi s trenutno prakso opremljanja dokončanih ladijskih trupov, zlasti kar zadeva cevovode.
Finally, the existence of the new installation will enable better use of the production halls, which are currently congested with section building and will in the future be used for other activities at an earlier stage in the production process.
Nazadnje bo nov obrat omogočil boljšo izkoriščenost proizvodnih hal, ki so sedaj preobremenjene z gradnjo sestavnih delov, saj se bodo v prihodnje lahko uporabljale za druge dejavnosti v zgodnejši fazi proizvodnega postopka.
On the basis of these considerations, the Commission concludes that, despite the fact that it concerns a new installation, sub-project SP 01 does represent a modernisation of the yard as a whole (in particular of the section assembly process) and does improve the productivity of the existing installations, in particular the production halls.
Na podlagi teh premislekov Komisija sklepa, da podprojekt SP 01 kljub dejstvu, da zadeva nov obrat, ne pomeni posodobitve celotne ladjedelnice (zlasti postopka montaže sestavnih delov), vendar pa izboljšuje produktivnost obstoječih obratov, zlasti proizvodnih hal.
As regards sub-project SP 05, the more modern and faster boring tool can, thanks to its technical characteristics, be used for handling a larger variety of parts, thereby increasing flexibility at the ‘production and systems installation’ stage.
Kar zadeva podprojekt SP 05, se lahko sodobnejše in hitrejše orodje za vrtanje zaradi svojih tehničnih lastnosti uporablja za obdelavo večjega števila različnih delov, kar povečuje prilagodljivost v fazi „proizvodnje in vgradnje sistemov“.
The investment represents a genuine modernisation and not a mere replacement of the rented machinery used by the yard to date.
Naložba pomeni resnično posodobitev in ne zgolj zamenjavo najetih strojev, ki jih je ladjedelnica uporabljala do sedaj.
The sub-project improves the productivity of existing installations and, even if the rented tools are not deemed to be existing installations, the sub-project improves the productivity of the ‘production and systems installation’ stage.
Podprojekt bo izboljšal produktivnost obstoječih obratov in, četudi se najeta orodja ne obravnavajo kot obstoječi obrati, bo izboljšal produktivnost faze „proizvodnje in vgradnje sistemov“.
Sub-project SP 09 makes for productivity improvements in the aluminium and stainless steel welding workshop in the form of clear cost savings and by enabling the yard to react operationally to the frequent changes in client specifications, thus eliminating the current work-flow interruptions.
Podprojekt SP 09 z očitnim zmanjšanjem stroškov prispeva k izboljšavam v produktivnosti delavnic za varjenje aluminija in nerjavnega jekla in ladjedelnici omogoča, da se operativno odzove na pogoste spremembe v specifikacijah strank, s čimer bi se odpravile sedanje motnje v poteku dela.
The investment leading to in-sourcing represents a genuine modernisation of the production process.
Naložba, ki omogoča notranje izvajanje del, pomeni resnično posodobitev proizvodnega postopka.
The project improves the productivity of existing installations and even if the rented installation is not deemed to be an existing installation, the project improves the production process as a whole.
Projekt bo izboljšal produktivnost obstoječih obratov in, četudi se najeti obrat ne obravnava kot obstoječi obrat, bo projekt izboljšal proizvodni postopek kot celoto.
On the basis of these considerations, the Commission concludes that sub-projects SP 05 and SP 09 constitute modernisation of the existing yard and make for improvements in productivity when compared with the existing installations.
Na podlagi teh premislekov Komisija sklepa, da podprojekta SP 05 in SP 09 pomenita posodobitev obstoječe ladjedelnice in prispevata k izboljšanju produktivnosti v primerjavi z obstoječimi obrati.
The issue of capacity — Projects SP 01, SP 02 and SP 03
Vprašanje zmogljivosti – projekti SP 01, SP 02 in SP 03
In its decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure, the Commission was concerned that sub-projects SP 01, SP 02 and SP 03 would lead to an increase in the capacity of the yard and doubted whether such an increase would be in line with the Framework.
Komisija je v svoji odločitvi o sprožitvi formalnega postopka preiskave izrazila pomisleke, ali bi podprojekti SP 01, SP 02 in SP 03 povzročili povečanje zmogljivosti ladjedelnice in ali bi tako povečanje bilo skladno z Okvirom.
The Commission concluded that these three sub-projects all fulfilled the requirement that the investment must be in modernisation of the existing yard for the purpose of improving the productivity of existing installations.
Komisija je sklenila, da ti trije podprojekti vsi izpolnjujejo zahtevo, da mora biti naložba namenjena posodobitvi obstoječe ladjedelnice zaradi izboljšanja produktivnosti obstoječih obratov.
In the case of sub-project SP 01, this was demonstrated above in paragraph 42.
Pri podprojektu SP 01 je bilo to prikazano v odstavku 42.
As regards sub-project SP 02, the Commission observes that the new chamber jet represents a qualitative improvement in terms of increased speed, lower material and energy consumption and impact on the environment.
Za projekt SP 02 komisija ugotavlja, da nova komorna šoba pomeni izboljšanje kakovosti v smislu večje hitrosti, nižje porabe materiala in energije ter vpliva na okolje.
The benefits of sub-project SP 03 are two-fold.
Podprojekt SP 03 prinaša dve vrsti koristi.
First, the reduction of the length of the distribution network leads to savings in energy costs.
Prvič, krajše distribucijsko omrežje pomeni prihranek stroškov energije.
Second, the improvement of the section assembly installation on rails 4 and 5 brings the same productivity improvements as sub-project SP 01 (ability to build larger sections, freeing-up of space in the production halls, non-reliance on weather conditions).
Drugič, izboljšava obrata za montažo sestavnih delov na tirnicah 4 in 5 prinaša enake izboljšave v produktivnosti kot podprojekt SP 01 (možnost gradnje večjih sestavnih delov, sprostitev prostora v proizvodnih halah, neodvisnost od vremenskih razmer).
With regard to the issue of capacity, the Commission will first examine the effects of these sub-projects on the technical capacity of the yard (paragraphs 50 and 51 below) and then go on to determine whether, if there is any increase in capacity, it can be considered justified (paragraphs 52 and 53).
Kar zadeva vprašanje zmogljivosti, bo Komisija najprej proučila učinke teh podprojektov na tehnično zmogljivost ladjedelnice (odstavka 50 in 51 spodaj) ter nato ugotovila, ali kakršno koli povečanje zmogljivosti lahko velja za upravičeno (odstavka 52 in 53).
On the basis of the information provided by the beneficiary, the Commission observes that, although sub-project SP 02 does lead to an increase in the capacity of an existing installation (the automated steel pre-fabrication system), this increase is purely theoretical.
Na podlagi informacij, ki jih je predložila upravičenka, Komisija ugotavlja, da podprojekt SP 02 sicer pomeni povečanje zmogljivosti obstoječega obrata (avtomatiziran sistem predhodne izdelave jeklenih konstrukcij), vendar gre za zgolj teoretično povečanje.
The new capacity of 15700 t of processed steel is the new maximum capacity of this particular installation.
Nova zmogljivost v višini 15700 t predelanega jekla je nova največja zmogljivost samo za ta obrat.
However, due to other bottlenecks in previous stages of production, the quantity of steel actually processed will remain unchanged at 12450 t. The beneficiary confirmed that significant investments would be necessary to de-bottleneck the steel pre-fabrication, and that there were currently no plans for any such investments.
Vendar pa bo zaradi drugih ozkih grl v prejšnjih fazah proizvodnje količina dejansko predelanega jekla ostala nespremenjena, in sicer 12450 t. Upravičenka je potrdila, da bodo potrebne znatne naložbe, da bi se odpravila ozka grla v predhodni izdelavi jeklenih konstrukcij, in da trenutno ni nobenih načrtov za take naložbe.
The Commission therefore concludes that sub-project SP 02 does not lead to a capacity increase of the yard as a whole and the possibility for expansion up to the level of 15700 t is purely theoretical.
Komisija zato sklepa, da podprojekt SP 02 ne pomeni povečanja zmogljivosti ladjedelnice kot celote in da je možnost povečanja na raven 15700 t zgolj teoretična.
In the case of sub-projects SP 01 and SP 03, it was confirmed that they would jointly result in an increase in the capacity of the yard from 24000 CGT to 28500 CGT, which corresponds to an increase of up to two ships a year, depending on the size and type of the vessels produced.
Pri podprojektih SP 01 in SP 03 je bilo potrjeno, da bi bil njun skupni učinek povečanje zmogljivosti ladjedelnice s 24000 CGT na 28500 CGT, kar ustreza povečanju za do dve ladji na leto, odvisno od velikosti in vrste plovila.
The Commission notes that since the steel processing capacity does not increase (see paragraph 50 above), the increased technical capacity of the yard could only be due to productivity improvements in the processes that follow the steel pre-fabrication.
Ker se zmogljivost za predelavo jekla ne bo povečala (glej odstavek 50), Komisija ugotavlja, da lahko povečano tehnično zmogljivost ladjedelnice povzročijo zgolj izboljšave v produktivnosti v postopkih, ki sledijo predhodni izdelavi jeklenih konstrukcij.
Sub-projects SP 01 and SP 03 do indeed lead to increased productivity in the case of the section assembling process, with significant gains in terms of construction time (the production cycle is shortened by on average 30 %, the assembly of one vessel taking on average approximately 36 days and the average reduction being 13 days per vessel; see paragraph 31).
Podprojekta SP 01 in SP 03 resnično omogočata povečano produktivnost pri postopku montaže sestavnih delov z znatnimi izboljšavami glede časa, potrebnega za gradnjo (proizvodni ciklus se skrajša za povprečno 30 %, tako da montaža enega plovila traja približno 36 dni in se skrajša za povprečno 13 dni na plovilo; glej odstavek 31).
The capacity increase results from the fact that larger sections will be assembled, which will reduce the hull assembly time.
Povečanje zmogljivosti izhaja iz dejstva, da se bodo montirali večji sestavni deli, kar bo skrajšalo čas, potreben za montažo ladijskega trupa.
Consequently, the level of completion in terms of CGT per calendar year increases.
Tako se bo povečala proizvodna raven v kompenzirani bruto tonaži (CGT) na koledarsko leto.
The Commission now needs to determine whether this capacity increase is proportionate to the productivity increase.
Komisija mora zdaj ugotoviti, ali je to povečanje zmogljivosti sorazmerno s povečanjem produktivnosti.
For this purpose, the Commission notes that the investment project brings considerable production gains.
V ta namen Komisija poudarja, da naložbeni projekt prinaša znatne koristi za proizvodnjo.
The production cycle is shortened by on average 30 %.
Proizvodni ciklus se skrajša za povprečno 30 %.
All productivity indicators show improvement: an increase in the overall productivity of the yard in terms of man-hours per CGT by 15 % (from 67 to 58), as well as an increase in the productivity of the steel pre-fabrication installation in terms of processed steel (t) per production worker by 14 % (from 13,65 to 15,60) and in terms of man-hours per tonne of processed steel by 31 % (from 127 to 97).
Vsi kazalci produktivnosti kažejo na izboljšanje: povečanje splošne produktivnosti ladjedelnice v delovnih urah na kompenzirano bruto tonažo za 15 % (s 76 na 58), povečanje produktivnosti obrata za predhodno izdelavo jeklenih konstrukcij v tonah predelanega jekla na delavca v proizvodnji za 14 % (s 13,65 na 15,60) in v delovnih urah na tono predelanega jekla za 31 % (s 127 na 97).
The Commission also notes that whereas 140 new direct jobs will be created at the yard, which corresponds to a 15 % increase, the annual input in terms of available man-hours will increase by only 3,9 % (from 1590300 to 1653200).
Komisija še poudarja, da bo v ladjedelnici sicer odprtih 140 novih neposrednih delovnih mest, kar pomeni 15-odstotno povišanje, vendar se bo letni vložek v smislu delovnih ur povečal le za 3,9 % (s 1590300 na 1653200).
This means that the new direct jobs are to a large extent the consequence of the in-sourcing of the welding activity (SP 09).
To pomeni, da so nova neposredna delovna mesta večinoma posledica notranjega izvajanja dejavnosti varjenja (SP 09).
The increased capacity is therefore due not to the creation of additional jobs, but to the modernisation of the facilities and streamlining of the production flow.
Povečana zmogljivost zato ni posledica odprtja dodatnih delovnih mest, temveč posodobitve obratov in racionalizacije poteka proizvodnje.
Since: (1) the investments fulfil the requirement of modernisation of an existing yard, the aim and effect of which is an improvement in the productivity of existing installations; (2) the increase in capacity is only the result of the modernisation of the yard and the adjustments to the production process this involves and (3) this productivity improvement is significant, the increase of capacity is not disproportionate to the productivity increase.
Ker: (1) naložbe izpolnjujejo zahtevo po posodobitvi obstoječe ladjedelnice, katere namen in učinek je izboljšanje produktivnosti obstoječih obratov, (2) je povečanje zmogljivosti zgolj posledica posodobitve ladjedelnice in povezanih prilagoditev proizvodnega procesa ter (3) je ta izboljšava v produktivnosti znatna, povečanje zmogljivosti ni nesorazmerno s povečanjem produktivnosti.
The Commission therefore concludes that sub-projects SP 01, SP 02 and SP 03 are eligible for regional aid.
Komisija je zato sklenila, da so podprojekti SP 01, SP 02 in SP 03 upravičeni do regionalne pomoči.
The remaining sub-projects
Ostali podprojekti
The Commission confirms its preliminary conclusion from its decision to open the formal investigation procedure that the remaining sub-projects (SP 04, SP 06, SP 07 and SP 08) are eligible for regional aid.
Komisija je potrdila svoj predhodni sklep na podlagi svoje odločitve o sprožitvi formalnega postopka preiskave, da so ostali podprojekti (SP 04, SP 06, SP 07 in SP 08) upravičeni do regionalne pomoči.
The remaining conditions for eligibility
Ostali pogoji za upravičenost
The Commission likewise notes that all the notified sub-projects fulfil the eligibility criteria prescribed by the Regional Aid Guidelines (investment in fixed assets: i.e. equipment and machinery to be purchased on market terms and not constituting mere replacement of depreciated assets).
Komisija prav tako ugotavlja, da vsi priglašeni podprojekti izpolnjujejo merila upravičenosti, predpisana v Smernicah o regionalni pomoči (naložbe v osnovna sredstva: to je oprema in stroji, ki se kupijo pod tržnimi pogoji in ne pomenijo zgolj zamenjave amortiziranih sredstev).
The investment is not linked to financial restructuring.
Naložba ni povezana s finančnim prestrukturiranjem.
Since its doubts concerning the eligibility of part of the investment project for regional aid have been allayed, the Commission concludes that the maximum aid intensity of 22,5 % of the eligible costs as prescribed by the Framework is complied with.
Ker je Komisija odpravila svoje dvome glede upravičenosti dela naložbenega projekta za regionalno pomoč, je sklenila, da je izpolnjeno merilo najvišje intenzivnosti pomoči v višini 22,5 % upravičenih stroškov, kot je predpisano v Okviru.
The remaining conditions for compatibility of regional aid
Ostali pogoji za združljivost regionalne pomoči
As the present case is an ad hoc grant of State aid for a one-off project, the Commission also assessed its effects on regional development in line with the Regional Aid Guidelines.
Ker gre v tem primeru za ad hoc dodelitev državne pomoči za enkraten projekt, je Komisija ocenila tudi svoje učinke na regionalni razvoj v skladu s Smernicami o regionalni pomoči.
The Commission concludes that the project contributes to regional development by undertaking a crucial modernisation of the yard, thus improving its competitive position on the market and maintaining jobs in a region with an unemployment rate of 14 %.
Komisija je sklenila, da projekt prispeva k regionalnemu razvoju, ker omogoča pomembno posodobitev ladjedelnice in tako izboljšuje njen konkurenčni položaj na trgu ter ohranja delovna mesta v regiji s 14-odstotno stopnjo brezposelnosti.
The investment will be maintained in place for at least 5 years.
Naložba se bo ohranjala vsaj 5 let.
SLK applied for the State aid before work on the project started and it is contributing more than 25 % to the financing of the project, in line with the Regional Aid Guidelines.
Družba SLK je zaprosila za državno pomoč, preden so se začela dela v zvezi s projektom, in sama prispeva več kot 25 % sredstev za projekt v skladu s Smernicami o regionalni pomoči.
The Commission concludes that the planned regional aid to SLK amounting to 22,5 % of SKK 76100000, i.e. SKK 17117957, is in line with the conditions on regional aid as laid down in the Framework.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je načrtovana regionalna pomoč družbi SLK v višini 22,5 % od 76100000 SKK, to je 17117957 SKK, skladna s pogoji o regionalni pomoči, kot so določeni v Okviru.
The planned aid therefore fulfils the conditions to be considered compatible with the common market,
Načrtovana pomoč zato izpolnjuje pogoje in je združljiva s skupnim trgom –
The State aid which the Slovak Republic plans to implement for Slovenské lodenice Komárno in the form of debt write-off amounting to SKK 17117957 is compatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty.
Državna pomoč, ki jo Slovaška republika načrtuje izvajati za Slovenské lodenice Komárno v obliki odpisa dolga v višini 17117957 SKK, je v skladu s členom 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES združljiva s skupnim trgom.
Implementation of the aid amounting to SKK 17117957 is accordingly authorised.
Izvajanje pomoči v višini 17117957 SKK se zato odobri.
