natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
the successive amounts of aid for loss cover have artificially kept in business a company that otherwise would have gone into bankruptcy; apparently, no restructuring was carried out; the measures must therefore be regarded as operating aid;
zaporedni zneski pomoči za kritje izgub so umetno omogočali nadaljevanje poslovanja družbe, ki bi sicer šla v stečaj; očitno je, da prestrukturiranje ni bilo izvedeno, in zato je treba ukrepe obravnavati kot pomoč za tekoče poslovanje;
neither the loss cover in the past nor the measure indicated in the original notification can be considered as compatible rescue aid since they both extend over a period of several years, they were granted in a non-eligible form and no reimbursement/restructuring plan/liquidation of the company was planned within a period of six months;
kritja izgub v preteklosti in ukrepa, navedenega v prvotni priglasitvi, ni mogoče obravnavati kot združljivo pomoč za reševanje, ker je oboje trajalo več let; odobrena sta bila v neprimerni obliki in v šestih mesecih ni bil pripravljen noben načrt odplačevanja, prestrukturiranja ali likvidacije družbe;
the industrial plan sent to the Commission in the notification consisted in an analysis of the profitability prospects in the light of the new investment project, with no mention of restructuring measures, with no conditions for the granting of public aid and without taking into account the illegal support in the past;
industrijski načrt, poslan Komisiji v priglasitvi, je zajemal analizo možnosti prihodnjih donosov ob upoštevanju novega naložbenega projekta, ni pa omenjal ukrepov za prestrukturiranje in pogojev za odobritev javne pomoči ter upošteval nezakonite podpore v preteklosti;
in the absence of a restructuring plan, the Commission is not able to ascertain whether the proposed aid could restore long-term viability and would be kept to a minimum and whether undue distortions of competition could be avoided (notably having regard to the continuous debt cover provided in recent years, in breach of the Deggendorf ruling [13]).
ker ni bilo načrta prestrukturiranja, Komisija ne more oceniti, ali bi lahko predlagana pomoč ponovno vzpostavila dolgoročno sposobnost preživetja in bila minimalna niti ali bi se bilo mogoče izogniti neupravičenemu izkrivljanju konkurence (predvsem ob upoštevanju stalnega kritja dolga v zadnjih letih, ki je v nasprotju z odločitvijo v zadevi Deggendorf [13]).
Withdrawal of the notification and winding-up of the company
Umik priglasitve in likvidacija družbe
The Commission takes note of the announcement by Italy that RAS has decided not to implement the notified aid of some EUR 24 million and, in view of the financial difficulties of NMS, to wind up the company.
Komisija upošteva obvestilo Italije, da RAS ne bo izvedla priglašene pomoči v višini približno 24 milijonov EUR in da bo družbo NMS, glede na njene finančne težave, likvidirala.
However, contrary to the claims by Italy, the Commission considers pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 [14] laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty that, in cases of unlawful aid which is not compatible with the common market, effective competition should be restored and that, for this purpose, the aid, including interest, needs to be recovered without delay.
Toda v nasprotju s trditvami Italije Komisija na podlagi Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 [14] o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 93 Pogodbe ES meni, da je treba v primerih nezakonite pomoči, ki ni združljiva s skupnim trgom, ponovno vzpostaviti učinkovito konkurenco in da je v ta namen treba pomoč, vključno z obrestmi, vrniti brez odlašanja.
The Commission finds that Italy has unlawfully implemented, in breach of Article 88(3) of the Treaty, the measures consisting in repeated cover for NMS losses, in the granting of aid to NMS under Law No 488/92 and the Ministerial Decree of 28 December 2000, and potentially in a partial payment of additional aid under the notified measure.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je Italija nezakonito in ob kršitvi člena 88(3) Pogodbe izvedla ukrepe, ki zajemajo ponavljajoče se kritje izgub družbe NMS, dodelitev pomoči družbi NMS na podlagi Zakona št. 488/92 in ministrske odredbe z dne 28. decembra 2000 ter morebiti delno plačilo dodatne pomoči na podlagi priglašenega ukrepa.
In addition, the Commission finds that the aid indicated in the original notification and the aid granted by the Ministerial Decree of 28 December 2000 under Article 9 of Law No 752/82, are neither compatible with the common market nor eligible for any derogation under the EC Treaty.
Poleg tega Komisija ugotavlja, da pomoč, navedena v prvotni priglasitvi, in pomoč, dodeljena z ministrsko odredbo z dne 28. decembra 2000 po členu 9 Zakona št. 752/82, nista združljivi s skupnim trgom in nista upravičeni do nobenega odstopanja na podlagi Pogodbe ES.
Therefore, the parts of the above measures that have not yet been granted or paid must not be implemented [15], and the aid already paid totalling EUR 98,36 million, including EUR 90,7 million of loss cover (see paragraph 10) and EUR 7,66 million granted by the Ministerial Decree of 9 May 2002 (see paragraph 1), has to be recovered,
Zato se delov zgoraj navedenih ukrepov, ki še niso bili odobreni ali plačani, ne sme izvesti [15], pomoč, ki je že bila plačana in znaša 98,36 milijona EUR, vključno z 90,7 milijona EUR za kritje izgub (glej odstavek 10) in 7,66 milijona EUR dodeljenih po ministrski odredbi z dne 9. maja 2002 (glej odstavek 1), pa je treba povrniti –
The State aid which Italy has implemented for Nuova Mineraria Silius S.p.A., amounting to EUR 98360000, is incompatible with the common market.
Državna pomoč Italije za družbo Nuova Mineraria Silius SpA v višini 98360000 EUR ni združljiva s skupnim trgom.
The State aid which Italy is planning to grant to Nuova Mineraria Silius S.p.A., amounting to EUR 25869000, is also incompatible with the common market and may not therefore be implemented.
Državna pomoč, ki jo Italija namerava odobriti družbi Nuova Mineraria Silius SpA v višini 25869000 EUR, je tudi nezdružljiva s skupnim trgom in se zato ne sme izvesti.

Italija izterja od upravičenke pomoč iz člena 1(1).

The interest shall be calculated on a compound basis in conformity with Chapter V of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 of 21 April 2004 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty [16].
Obresti se izračunajo na podlagi obrestno obrestnega računa v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 z dne 21. aprila 2004 o izvajanju Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 93 Pogodbe ES [16].
Italy shall take all necessary measures to recover from the beneficiary the illegal and incompatible aid referred to in Article 1(1).
Italija sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe, da od upravičenke izterja nezakonito in nezdružljivo pomoč iz člena 1(1).
Recovery shall take place without delay and in accordance with the procedures under national law provided that they allow the immediate and effective execution of the decision.

Italija v dveh mesecih od obvestila o tej odločbi predloži informacije o skupnem znesku (glavnica in obresti), ki bo izterjan od upravičenke, in podroben opis ukrepov, ki jih je že sprejela ali jih namerava sprejeti za izpolnitev te odločbe.
By the same deadline, it shall send to the Commission all the documents demonstrating that the beneficiary has been ordered to repay the aid.
V istem roku pošlje Komisiji vse dokumente, ki dokazujejo, da je bila upravičenki naložena vrnitev pomoči.
After the period of two months referred to in paragraph 2, Italy shall submit, on a simple request by the Commission, a report on the measures already taken or planned to comply with this decision.
Italija po dveh mesecih iz odstavka 2 predloži na enostavno zahtevo Komisije poročilo o ukrepih, ki jih je že sprejela ali jih namerava sprejeti za izpolnitev te odločbe.
