(L’ambition de l’IFP, au cours de la décennie en cours, est d’élargir son domaine d’intervention et d’accroître ses parts de marchés pour devenir, au plan mondial, un acteur incontournable. (…) [Il s’agit de] renforcer le nouveau pôle constitué par la Direction Industrielle de l’IFP et Procatalyse [Axens], destiné à bénéficier de l’effet d’entrainement associé aux ventes de licences et à valoriser au mieux le potentiel de R & D de l’IFP dans ce domaine),
[…] [Gre za] okrepitev novega težišča, ki ga oblikujeta industrijska uprava IFP in družba Procatalyse (Axens), katerega namen je izkoriščanje učinka zagona, povezanega s prodajo licenc in boljšo uporabo potenciala R & R skupine IFP na tem področju.“
in the ‘Exploration-Production’ field, ‘the best use should be made, on a case-by-case basis, of “Group competencies”, in particular those of direct subsidiaries, and every possible synergy should be harnessed from this arrangement in order to ensure the most effective possible coverage of markets’ (il convient, au cas par cas, d’utiliser au mieux les ‘compétences Groupe’, notamment celles des filiales directes, et de tirer toutes les synergies possibles de ce dispositif, pour assurer la couverture la plus efficace possible des marchés) [29].
Na področju „raziskav – proizvodnje“„se zdi ustrezno za vsak primer posebej čim bolje uporabiti „pristojnosti skupine“, zlasti neposrednih hčerinskih družb, in izkoristiti vse mogoče sinergije te možnosti, da se zagotovi čim učinkovitejša pokritost trgov“ [29].
On the question of effective control of the subsidiaries, the Commission has taken account, first, of the presence of IFP managers in the subsidiaries’ decision-taking bodies and, secondly, of the decision-taking centres for strategic planning and key decisions:
Ker gre za dejanski nadzor hčerinskih družb, je Komisija po eni strani upoštevala prisotnost izobraževalnega osebja skupine IFP v organih odločanja hčerinskih družb in po drugi strani centre odločanja, ki so povezani s strateškimi usmeritvami in temeljnimi odločitvami:
Axens: as at 10 November 2005, of the nine members of its management board, six also belonged to IFP’s senior management, and five in particular sat on IFP’s executive committee.
hčerinska družba Axens: od devetih članov upravnega odbora je z 10. novembrom 2005 šest upravnikov prav tako del izobraževalnega osebja skupine IFP, pet upravnikov pa je članov izvršnega odbora skupine IFP.
Prosernat: as at 1 January 2003, three of the five members of Prosernat’s management board also belonged to IFP’s executive committee.
hčerinska družba Prosernat: trije upravniki upravnega sveta hčerinske družbe Prosernat od petih so s 1. januarjem 2003 prav tako del izvršnega odbora skupine IFP.
Prosernat’s management board decides on strategic plans, the annual budget, the creation of new activities and joint venture agreements.
Upravni svet hčerinske družbe Prosernat odloča o strateških načrtih, letnem proračunu, ustvarjanju novih dejavnosti, sporazumih skupnih podjetij.
The Commission notes that, as regulated agreements, the exclusive agreements are governed by specific rules according to which IFP’s representative on the management board does not participate in voting on matters to do with the exclusive agreements.
Komisija ugotavlja, da izključne sporazume kot zakonsko urejene konvencije urejajo natančni predpisi, v skladu s katerimi predstavnik skupine IFP v upravnem svetu ne glasuje o vprašanjih, ki zadevajo izključne sporazume.
Notwithstanding this, even if the IFP representative does not take part in the vote, other members of the management board who are also senior IFP managers do take part.
Čeprav predstavnik skupine IFP ne glasuje, pri tem sodelujejo drugi člani upravnega sveta, ki so prav tako vodje skupine IFP.
The Commission concedes that the exclusive agreements do not in themselves constitute evidence of an absence of autonomy on the part of the enterprises.
Komisija priznava, da sami izključni sporazumi ne pomenijo pomanjkanja avtonomnosti podjetij.
It notes, however, that the agreements are essential to the subsidiaries’ economic activities.
Kljub temu Komisija ugotavlja, da so ti sporazumi bistveni za gospodarske dejavnosti hčerinskih družb.
The Commission also takes account of the fact that the possibilities for collaborative research with other enterprises in the subsidiaries’ fields of activity are strictly defined in the exclusive agreements.
Prav tako upošteva dejstvo, da so možnosti skupnih raziskav z drugimi podjetji na področju dejavnosti hčerinskih družb strogo urejene v izključnih sporazumih.
Thus, IFP can embark on a research project in the fields of activity of the subsidiaries concerned only insofar as the latter do not wish to carry out the project after exercising their right of first refusal [30].
Tako skupina IFP ne more začeti projekta na področju dejavnosti zadevnih hčerinskih družb, razen če te želijo izvajati raziskovalni projekt po uveljavitvi pravice do prve zavrnitve [30].
Similarly, IFP has a right of first refusal over all the research work the subsidiaries concerned may wish to carry out.
Skupina IFP ima prav tako pravico do prve zavrnitve za vsa raziskovalna dela, ki jih želijo izvajati zadevne hčerinske družbe.
It is only after IFP has exercised its right of first refusal that the subsidiaries concerned may propose the research project to other enterprises [31].
Šele po uveljavitvi pravice do prve zavrnitve skupine IFP imajo zadevne hčerinske družbe možnost, da raziskovalni projekt predlagajo drugim podjetjem [31].
The Commission considers these restrictions to be evidence of strong economic integration between IFP and the subsidiaries concerned.
Komisija ocenjuje, da te omejitve kažejo na močno gospodarsko povezovanje skupine IFP in zadevnih hčerinskih družb.
The Commission has taken account, moreover, of the existence of assignment contracts for, among other things, the provision of premises and staff:
Poleg tega je Komisija upoštevala obstoj pogodb o uporabi zlasti prostorov in osebja:
for Axens: premises, corporate catering, staff, administrative services,
za družbo Axens: prostori, obnova podjetja, osebje, upravne storitve,
for Beicip-Franlab: liquidity, staff,
za družbo Beicip-Franlab: denarna sredstva, osebje,
for Prosernat: legal and financial services.
za družbo Prosernat: pravne in finančne storitve.
On the question of how IFP and its subsidiaries are perceived in the relevant markets, the Commission considers that several elements point to IFP and the subsidiaries concerned having a common presence and a common image in the eyes of their customers and competitors.
Kar zadeva vprašanje dojemanja skupine IFP in njenih hčerinskih družb na zadevnih trgih, Komisija ocenjuje, da več elementov kaže na prisotnost in skupno podobo skupine IFP in zadevnih hčerinskih družb pri njihovih strankah in tekmecih.
Besides the words ‘IFP Group Technologies’ on Axens’s and Prosernat’s logos, there are direct links between the Internet sites of the subsidiaries concerned and the Internet site of IFP.
Poleg navedbe „IFP Group Technologies“ v logotipu družb Axens in Prosernat obstajajo neposredne povezave med spletnimi stranmi zadevnih hčerinskih družb in spletno stranjo skupine IFP.
Axens and Prosernat refer on their Internet sites to IFP’s R & D efforts in their fields of activity [32].
Poleg tega se družbi Axens in Prosernat na svoji spletni strani sklicujeta na prizadevanje za R & R skupine IFP na njunem področju dejavnosti [32].
Beicip-Franlab’s Bahrain office calls itself ‘IFP Middle East Consulting’.
Urad družbe Beicip-Franlab v Bahrajnu se imenuje „IFP Middle East Consulting“.
And IFP and Axens participate jointly in various conferences [33].
Poleg tega skupina IFP in družba Axens skupaj sodelujeta na različnih konferencah [33].
The Commission has also noted several references to a single entity, IFP/Axens, in advertisements and publications [34] and on the Internet sites of players in the industry [35].
Komisija je prav tako poudarila več sklicevanj na en sam subjekt IFP/Axens v oglasih in objavah [34] ter na spletnih straneh udeležencev v sektorju [35].
Lastly, the Commission notes an overlap between the fields of activity of IFP and those of its subsidiaries Axens, Beicip-Franlab and Prosernat, which heightens the necessity of regarding the IFP group as a single enterprise.
Nazadnje, Komisija ugotavlja primerjavo med področji dejavnosti skupine IFP in hčerinskih družb Axens, Beicip-Franlab in Prosernat, zaradi česar je še nujnejše obravnavati skupino IFP kot eno samo podjetje.
In conclusion, the objective of exploiting R & D results is at the heart of IFP’s development strategy as set out in its contract of objectives with the State.
Cilj ocenitve rezultatov R & R je torej v središču razvojne strategije skupine IFP, kot je natančno določena v pogodbi z državo o ciljih.
The holding of the subsidiaries’ capital and the presence of senior IFP managers in the subsidiaries’ organs attest to a de jure and de facto control by IFP of the subsidiaries concerned.
Poleg tega delež kapitala v hčerinskih družbah in prisotnost vodilnega osebja skupine IFP v okviru hčerinskih družb dokazujeta pravni in dejanski nadzor skupine IFP nad zadevnimi hčerinskimi družbami.
The exclusive agreements between IFP and the subsidiaries concerned in key areas of their activities bear witness to the economic integration of the entities involved.
Izključni sporazumi med skupino IFP in zadevnimi hčerinskimi družbami na področjih, ki so bistvena za njihovo dejavnost, dokazujejo gospodarsko povezovanje zadevnih subjektov.
The common image and presence of IFP and its subsidiaries in the relevant markets are further proof of this.
Podoba in skupna prisotnost skupine IFP in njenih hčerinskih družb na zadevnih trgih pa predstavljata dodatni kazalnik.
Consequently, the Commission considers that, in the light of its decision-making practice and the case law of the Court of Justice, the subsidiaries concerned are indistinguishable, as economic operators in the relevant markets, from their parent company IFP.
Zato Komisija ocenjuje, da se glede na prakso odločanja in sodno prakso Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti zadevne hčerinske družbe ne morejo razlikovati od matične družbe IFP v smislu gospodarskih subjektov na zadevnih trgih.
In the light of the above, the Commission considers that the beneficiaries of any State aid are the entities IFP, Axens, Beicip-Franlab and Prosernat in respect of their activities in the market for refining and petrochemicals technologies, in the market for consultancy services in relation to oilfield operation and the contract development of oilfield software, and in the market for gas treatment and sulphur recovery technologies.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega Komisija meni, da so upravičenci do morebitne državne pomoči naslednji subjekti: skupina IFP, družbe Axens, Beicip-Franlab in Prosernat za dejavnosti na trgu tehnoloških postopkov rafiniranja in petrokemije, trgu svetovanja o izkoriščanju naftnih polj in obvladovanja dela z opremo za izkoriščanje nafte ter tudi na trgu tehnoloških postopkov predelave plina in razžveplanja.
Determination of the selective advantage financed by State resources
Ugotavljanje selektivne prednosti, ki se financira iz državnih sredstev
Insofar as it has been shown that IFP carries on economic activities through its subsidiaries Axens, Beicip-Franlab and Prosernat, the support provided by the State for IFP in the three subsidiaries’ fields of activity is liable to be caught by Article 87(1) of the Treaty.
Če se dokaže, da skupina IFP prek svojih hčerinskih podjetij Axens, Beicip-Franlab in Prosernat opravlja gospodarske dejavnosti, javna pomoč, ki jo država nameni skupini IFP na področju dejavnosti treh hčerinskih podjetij, sodi v področje uporabe člena 87(1) Pogodbe.
The question the Commission must answer before concluding that a competitive advantage exists is that of whether the public financing of IFP also benefits IFP’s economic activities in the relevant markets.
Vprašanje, na katerega mora odgovoriti Komisija pred končno ugotovitvijo v zvezi z obstojem konkurenčne prednosti, je, ali je javno financiranje skupine IFP koristno tudi za njene gospodarske dejavnosti na zadevnih trgih.
In this connection the Commission sets out its interpretation of the concept of aid where the same entity carries on both economic and non-economic activities in the new Community framework for State aid for research and development and innovation [36] of 2006, which reflects the Commission’s position on the subject: ‘If the same entity carries out activities of both economic and non-economic nature, in order to avoid cross-subsidisation of the economic activity, the public funding of the non-economic activities will not fall under Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty, if the two kinds of activities and their costs and funding can be clearly separated.
V zvezi s tem je Komisija natančno opredelila svojo razlago pojma pomoči, če isti subjekt opravlja gospodarske in negospodarske dejavnosti v novem okviru Skupnosti za državno pomoč za raziskave in razvoj ter inovacije [36] iz leta 2006, ki izraža stališče Komisije o tej temi: „V primeru, da isti subjekt izvaja gospodarske in negospodarske dejavnosti, javno financiranje negospodarskih dejavnosti ne sodi v področje uporabe člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES, če so lahko dve vrsti dejavnosti in njuni stroški ter financiranje jasno ločeni, da bi se izognili navzkrižnemu subvencioniranju gospodarske dejavnosti.
Evidence that the costs have been allocated correctly can consist of annual financial statements of the universities and research organisations’ [37].
Dokazi, da so bili stroški ustrezno dodeljeni, lahko vsebujejo letne finančne izkaze univerz in raziskovalnih organizacij.“ [37]
In other words, the Commission must determine whether there is any cross-subsidisation of IFP’s economic activities through the financing by the State of its non-economic activities.
Z drugimi besedami, Komisija mora ugotoviti, ali obstaja navzkrižno subvencioniranje gospodarskih dejavnosti na podlagi državnega financiranja negospodarskih dejavnosti skupine IFP.
To this end, the Commission has examined IFP’s accounts in order to identify the amount of any State subsidy earmarked for commercial activities.
Za ta namen je Komisija začela s pregledom računovodskih evidenc skupine IFP, da bi ugotovila morebitni znesek javne subvencije, namenjene njenim tržnim dejavnostim.
IFP and the subsidiaries concerned are distinct legal entities and their accounts are separate.
Dejansko so računovodske evidence skupine IFP in zadevnih hčerinskih družb kot različnih pravnih subjektov ločene.
The Commission considers that, if there is any subsidisation of economic activities, it results from the level of the remunerations paid by the subsidiaries concerned to the parent company and is reflected in IFP’s accounts.
Komisija ocenjuje, da subvencioniranje temelji na stopnji plačil, ki jih izplačajo zadevne hčerinske družbe matični družbi, in se izraža v računovodskih evidencah skupine IFP, če gre za subvencioniranje gospodarskih dejavnosti.
First, the Commission notes that IFP’s budget is organised, by type of activity, around seven results centres, which allows effective accounting separation of the activities of R & D, training, knowledge dissemination and management of IFP’s portfolio.
Prvič, Komisija upošteva, da je proračun skupine IFP organiziran glede na vrsto dejavnosti v sedmih centrih za rezultate, kar omogoča učinkovito ločeno računovodstvo dejavnosti R & R, usposabljanja, razširjanja znanja in upravljanja portfelja skupine IFP.
In this context, the Commission considers that the accounts which are relevant to its examination are those of the ‘Refining-Petrochemicals’ results centre for activities in the field of refining and petrochemicals technologies and for activities in the field of sulphur recovery technologies, and those of the ‘Exploration-Production’ results centre for activities in the field of oilfield operation consultancy services and the contract development of oilfield software and for activities in the field of the market for gas treatment technologies.
V tem smislu Komisija ocenjuje, da so računovodske evidence, ki so primerne za pregled, evidence centra za rezultate za rafiniranje in petrokemijo glede dejavnosti na področju tehnoloških postopkov rafiniranja in petrokemije ter dejavnosti na področju tehnoloških postopkov razžveplanja ter centra za rezultate za raziskave in proizvodnjo glede dejavnosti na področju svetovanja o izkoriščanju naftnih polj in obvladovanja dela z opremo za izkoriščanje nafte ter tudi glede dejavnosti na področju tehnoloških postopkov predelave plina.
The Commission considers that the public financing of projects carried out under the heading of ‘Exploratory Research’ does not fall within the scope of its examination insofar as such projects consist of fundamental research within the meaning of Annex I to the 1996 R & D framework, are high risk and are not aimed at a specific industry.
Komisija ocenjuje, da javno financiranje projektov, ki se izvajajo v okviru pionirskih raziskovalnih dejavnosti, ne sodi na področje pregleda, če so ti projekti, ki izhajajo iz temeljnih raziskav v smislu Priloge 1 k okviru R & R iz leta 1996, zelo tvegani in niso namenjeni točno določeni hčerinski družbi.
Secondly, the Commission considers that the system of analytical accounts implemented within IFP effectively allows an allocation of (non-State-budgetary-allowance) income and expenditure within each results centre.
Drugič, Komisija ocenjuje, da analitični računovodski sistem, vzpostavljen v skupini IFP, omogoča učinkovito razporeditev prihodka (brez državnih proračunskih sredstev) in stroškov znotraj vsakega centra za rezultate.
It notes in this connection that IFP’s analytical accounting is based on the concept of project.
V zvezi s tem ugotavlja, da analitično računovodstvo skupine IFP temelji na pojmu projekta.
Projects are grouped by results centre.
Projekti so razvrščeni glede na center za rezultate.
Within each results centre, projects are listed by segment or type.
V vsakem centru za rezultate se projekti opredelijo glede na področje ali vrsto.
The allocation of income and expenditure in each results centre is done project by project.
Razporeditev stroškov in prihodkov v vsakem centru za rezultate temelji na posameznem projektu.
The Commission notes, moreover, that IFP’s budget and annual accounts are subject to independent external scrutiny by two auditors.
Poleg tega Komisija ugotavlja, da dva revizorja opravljata zunanji in neodvisni nadzor nad proračunom in letnimi računovodskimi izkazi skupine IFP.
Thirdly, the Commission notes that the results centres have their own revenues inasmuch as the State budgetary allowance is not analytically allocated to them.
Tretjič, Komisija ugotavlja, da imajo centri za rezultate na voljo lastne prihodke, državna proračunska sredstva pa se za centre za rezultate ne namenijo analitično.
This may result in an accounting deficit between the income and expenditure allocated to them.
Iz tega morda izhaja računovodski primanjkljaj med prihodki in stroški, ki so mu dodeljeni.
The centres’ own revenues comprise remunerations for services rendered, licence fees and dividends paid by subsidiaries.
Lastni prihodki obsegajo plačila za storitve, pristojbine za licence in dividende, ki jih izplačajo hčerinske družbe.
Fourthly, the Commission observes that all the costs incurred by IFP on a given project are entered in the accounts, including not only expenses directly chargeable to the project (project-specific purchases of supplies and small movable equipment, contracted-out services, travel, documentation, maintenance and leasing) but also indirect expenses (staff wages and social security contributions, the amortisation of fixed tangible and intangible assets, overheads).
Četrtič, Komisija ugotavlja, da se upoštevajo vsi stroški, ki jih ima skupina IFP pri zadevnem projektu, in zajemajo stroške, ki izhajajo neposredno iz projekta (nakup opreme in drobnega materiala, ki ni povezan z nepremičninami, zunanje storitve, premestitve, zavarovanje, dokumentacija, vzdrževanje in posebni kraji za projekt), ter tudi posredne stroške (plače in prispevki za socialno zavarovanje osebja, amortizacija opredmetenih in neopredmetenih osnovnih sredstev, splošni stroški).
Indirect expenses are charged to the project in proportion to the number of man hours on the basis of an hourly rate calculated according to the staff category concerned (engineers, technicians, etc.).
Posredni stroški se projektu pripišejo v sorazmerju s številom oseb na uro glede na urno postavko, ki se izračuna na podlagi kategorije obravnavanega osebja (inženirji, tehniki itd.).
The Commission considers that this charging method is objective and relevant from an accounting point of view in the light of the activities concerned.
Komisija ocenjuje, da je ta metoda računanja nepristranska in primerna z računovodskega vidika ob upoštevanju obravnavanih dejavnosti.
Fifthly, the Commission notes that the cost of horizontal projects carried out within the results centres on the segments ‘trade equipment’ and ‘support activities’ is also passed on at the level of each project either directly or in proportion to the total expenses of the segment to which it belongs (competency acquisition or industrial research).
Petič, Komisija ugotavlja, da se strošek horizontalnih projektov, ki se izvajajo v centrih za rezultate na področjih strokovne opreme in dejavnosti podpore, prav tako prenese na raven vsakega projekta neposredno ali v sorazmerju s skupnimi stroški na področju, v katerega spada (pridobivanje znanja ali industrijske raziskave).
Lastly, the Commission takes note of the fact that the incidental assignments mentioned in recital 125 form the subject matter of agreements between IFP and the subsidiaries concerned.
Nazadnje, Komisija ugotavlja, da so dodatne razpoložljivosti iz uvodne izjave 125 predmet sporazumov med skupino IFP in zadevnimi hčerinskimi družbami.
These services are invoiced by IFP on a full-cost basis and charged to the results centres concerned.
Te dajatve zaračuna skupina IFP glede na celotne stroške, ki se pripišejo zadevnim centrom za rezultate.
The Commission is therefore able to conclude that the expenses of the ‘Refining-Petrochemicals’ and ‘Exploration-Production’ results centres effectively reflect the totality of the costs of IFP’s activities in the relevant markets.
Komisija lahko torej sklene, da stroški centrov za rezultate za rafiniranje in petrokemijo ter za raziskave in proizvodnjo dejansko izražajo skupne stroške dejavnosti skupine IFP na zadevnih trgih.
Nevertheless, the Commission takes note of the fact that there is no exact correspondence between the ‘Refining-Petrochemicals’ and ‘Exploration-Production’ results centres, on the one hand, and the fields of activity of the subsidiaries concerned, on the other.
Pri tem Komisija ugotavlja neobstoj natančne povezave med centri za rezultate za rafiniranje in petrokemijo ter raziskave in proizvodnjo na eni strani in področji dejavnosti zadevnih hčerinskih družb na drugi strani.
In other words, to use the terminology employed in the research agreements, the results centres group together activities not only in the subsidiaries’ exclusive fields but also in non-exclusive fields.
Z drugimi besedami, če upoštevamo terminologijo iz konvencij o raziskavah, centri za rezultate razporedijo dejavnosti na izključnih in neizključnih področjih hčerinskih družb.
