on Aid Measure C 11/08 (ex N 908/06) planned by Poland in favour of BVG Medien Beteiligungs GmbH
o ukrepu pomoči C 11/08 (ex N 908/06), ki ga Poljska namerava izvajati v korist družbe BVG Medien Beteiligungs GmbH
Having called on interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to those provisions [1],
po pozivu zainteresiranim stranem, naj predložijo svoje pripombe v skladu z navedenimi določbami [1],
By electronic notification dated 27 December 2006, registered at the Commission on the same day [2], the Polish authorities gave notice pursuant to Article 88(3) of the EC Treaty and under the Multisectoral Framework on regional aid for large investment projects [3] (‘the MSF’) that they intended to grant regional aid for a large investment project in favour of BVG Medien Beteiligungs GmbH.
Poljski organi so z elektronskim obvestilom z dne 27. decembra 2006, evidentiranim pri Komisiji na isti dan [2], v skladu s členom 88(3) Pogodbe ES in na podlagi Večsektorskega okvira za regionalno pomoč, namenjeno večjim naložbenim projektom [3] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: večsektorski okvir) sporočili, da nameravajo odobriti regionalno pomoč za večji naložbeni projekt v korist družbe BVG Medien Beteiligungs GmbH.
The Commission requested supplementary information by letters of 2 March 2007 (D/50921), 15 June 2007 (D/52553) and 21 December 2007 (D/55146).
Komisija je z dopisi z dne 2. marca 2007 (D/50921), 15. junija 2007 (D/52553) in 21. decembra 2007 (D/55146) zaprosila za dodatne informacije.
The Polish authorities replied by letters of 13 April 2007 (A/33156), 23 October 2007 (A/38722) and 23 January 2008 (A/1392).
Poljski organi so odgovorili z dopisi z dne 13. aprila 2007 (A/33156), 23. oktobra 2007 (A/38722) in 23. januarja 2008 (A/1392).
By letter of 11 March 2008 the Commission informed Poland that it had decided to initiate the proceedings laid down in Article 88(2) EC Treaty in respect of the aid.
Komisija je z dopisom z dne 11. marca 2008 Poljsko obvestila, da se je v zvezi s pomočjo odločila za sprožitev postopka iz člena 88(2) Pogodbe ES.
The Commission decision to initiate the procedure (‘the Opening Decision’) was published in the Official Journal of the European Union [4].
Odločitev Komisije, da sproži postopek (v nadaljnjem besedilu: odločitev o sprožitvi postopka), je bila objavljena v Uradnem listu Evropske unije [4].
The Commission called on interested parties to submit their comments.
Komisija je pozvala vse zainteresirane strani, naj predložijo svoje pripombe.
The Commission received no comments from interested parties.
Komisija ni prejela nobenih pripomb zainteresiranih strani.
The Polish authorities replied by letters of 9 May 2008 (A/8753) and 13 May 2008 (A/8829), both registered at the Commission on 13 May 2008.
Poljski organi so odgovorili z dopisoma z dne 9. maja 2008 (A/8753) in 13. maja 2008 (A/8829), ki sta bila pri Komisiji evidentirana 13. maja 2008.
The measure supports the setting-up of a new rotogravure printing works, thereby promoting regional development and employment in Lower Silesia Province in south-west Poland, an assisted area pursuant to Article 87(3)(a) of the EC Treaty with a regional aid ceiling of 50 % net grant equivalent (NGE) in accordance with the regional aid map of Poland applicable from 1 May 2004 to 31 December 2006 [5].
Cilj ukrepa je pomoč pri ustanovitvi nove tiskarne za rotacijski globoki tisk, s čimer spodbuja regionalni razvoj in zaposlovanje v pokrajini Spodnja Šlezija na jugozahodu Poljske, ki je na podlagi člena 87(3)(a) Pogodbe ES območje, ki prejema pomoč, pri čemer je zgornja meja regionalne pomoči 50 % neto ekvivalenta dotacije ob upoštevanju karte regionalnih pomoči za Poljsko, ki velja od 1. maja 2004 do 31. decembra 2006 [5].
The Polish authorities stated that the investment project was to be implemented and managed by BDN Sp. z. o.o.
Poljski organi so navedli, da bo naložbeni projekt izvajala in upravljala komanditna družba BDN Sp. z. o.o.
Sp. k., a limited partnership (‘the Partnership’).
Sp. k. (v nadaljnjem besedilu: družba).
The Partnership consists of: the general partner, BDN Sp. z o.o.
Družbo sestavljata komplementar, BDN Sp. z o.o.
(‘BDN’), a limited liability company established in Poland, and the limited partner, BVG Medien Beteiligungs GmbH (‘BVG’), a limited liability company established in Germany.
(v nadaljnjem besedilu: družba BDN), ki je družba z omejeno odgovornostjo s sedežem na Poljskem, in komanditist, BVG Medien Beteiligungs GmbH (v nadaljnjem besedilu: družba BVG), ki je družba z omejeno odgovornostjo s sedežem v Nemčiji.
The Polish authorities also indicated that, under the Commercial Code, a limited partnership did not have legal personality.
Poljski organi so navedli tudi, da komanditne družbe v skladu s trgovinskim zakonikom nimajo statusa pravne osebe.
Therefore the corporate income tax on the Partnership’s economic activity was paid by its partners.
Zato davek od dohodkov pravnih oseb za gospodarsko dejavnost družbe plačujejo njeni družbeniki.
Since the aid was granted in the form of exemption from corporate income tax, the actual beneficiaries are the partners, i.e. BDN and BVG.
Ker se je pomoč dodelila v obliki oprostitve davka od dohodkov pravnih oseb, sta dejanska upravičenca do pomoči družbenika, tj. družbi BDN in BVG.
According to the Polish authorities, the partners share any profits (and thus any reduction in taxes levied on those profits) pro-rata to their contribution to the Partnership, i.e. more than 99 % for BVG and less than 1 % for BDN.
Glede na navedbe poljskih organov si družbeniki delijo ves dobiček (in zato tudi kakršno koli znižanje davkov, ki se obračunajo od tega dobička) sorazmerno z njihovim vložkom v družbi, tj. več kot 99 % za družbo BVG in manj kot 1 % za družbo BDN.
Moreover, since BDN itself is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BVG, the Commission considers, in line with the view of the Polish authorities, that the beneficiary of the aid measure is BVG.
Poleg tega Komisija v skladu z mnenjem poljskih organov ugotavlja, da je upravičenec do ukrepa pomoči družba BVG, ker je BDN hčerinska družba, ki je v celoti v lasti družbe BVG.
However, taking the total amount of aid into account (i.e. the part accruing to BVG as well as the part accruing to BDN), the Commission considers the BVG group as the final beneficiary of the aid.
Vendar Komisija ob upoštevanju celotnega zneska pomoči (tj. dela, ki pripada družbi BVG, in dela, ki pripada družbi BDN) meni, da je končni upravičenec do pomoči skupina BVG.
When calculating the beneficiary’s market share [6], the Commission also took account of the fact that BVG is a large enterprise wholly owned by BVG Medien KG, a limited partnership in the hands of private investors.
Komisija je pri izračunu tržnega deleža upravičenca [6] upoštevala tudi dejstvo, da je družba BVG veliko podjetje, ki je v celoti v lasti komanditne družbe BVG Medien KG, ki je v rokah zasebnih vlagateljev.
To be more precise, […] [7] % of the shares are owned by Heinz H. Bauer and his family.
Natančneje, […] [7] % delnic je v lasti Heinza H. Bauerja in njegove družine.
Mr Bauer is also the owner of 96 % of the shares of another capital group, Heinrich Bauer Verlag, a publishing house with a number of subsidiaries worldwide.
Bauer je tudi lastnik 96 % delnic kapitalske skupine z imenom Heinrich Bauer Verlag, ki je založniška hiša z več podružnicami po vsem svetu.
Products and technology
Proizvodi in tehnologija
The Partnership is setting up a new rotogravure printing works in Nowogrodziec, in the Special Economic Zone of Kamienna Góra.
Družba ustanavlja novo tiskarno za rotacijski globoki tisk v Nowogrodziecu, ki je v posebni ekonomski coni Kamienna Góra.
With rotogravure technology, the printing ink is transferred onto a surface (e.g. paper) by a steel printing cylinder which is engraved electromechanically or by laser.
S tehnologijo rotacijskega globokega tiska se tiskarsko črnilo na površino (na primer papir) prenese z jeklenim tiskarskim valjem, ki je elektromehansko ali lasersko graviran.
The new printing works will have […] rotogravure printing lines carrying out the three main stages of production.
Nova tiskarna bo imela […] linij za rotacijski globoki tisk, na katerih se bodo izvajale tri glavne stopnje proizvodnje.
Production starts with the preparation of printing forms (cylinders) from digital data supplied by the customer.
Proizvodnja se začne s pripravo tiskarskih form (valjev) na podlagi digitalnih podatkov, ki jih posreduje stranka.
The next operation is rotogravure printing — the paper is printed in four basic colours, slit, folded and stitched to make the end product.
Naslednji korak je rotacijski globoki tisk, pri katerem se papir natisne v štirih osnovnih barvah, se razreže, zgiba in veže, s čimer nastane končni proizvod.
As a last step, the end product is packed and sent to its destination.
Na koncu se končni proizvod zapakira in pošlje v namembni kraj.
The new plant will essentially be involved in printing magazines, commercial catalogues and inserts (advertising material added to magazines and newspapers).
V novi tovarni se bo izvajalo zlasti tiskanje revij, prodajnih katalogov in prilog publikacijam (reklamno gradivo, ki se priloži revijam in časopisom).
The investment project started in 2004 and consists in setting up […] production lines.
Naložbeni projekt se je začel leta 2004 in vključuje vzpostavitev […] proizvodnih linij.
[…] rotogravure lines together with their auxiliary facilities have already been set up.
Vzpostavljenih je že […] linij za rotacijski globoki tisk skupaj s pomožnimi objekti in opremo.
An order for a […] line has also been placed and it is expected to be commissioned in the […] quarter of 2008.
Prejeto je bilo tudi naročilo za linijo […], ki naj bi se izpolnilo v […] četrtletju leta 2008.
It is estimated that this will be followed by the installation of a […] line.
Ocenjuje se, da bo temu sledila še uvedba linije […].
According to the estimates provided by the Polish authorities, the whole project will be completed in 2009.
Glede na ocene, ki so jih predložili poljski organi, bo celoten projekt zaključen leta 2009.
The printing works started production in July 2006.
Tiskarne so s proizvodnjo začele julija 2006.
Full capacity of all […] lines amounting to 152 thousand tonnes annually is expected to be achieved in 2010.
Pričakuje se, da bo polna zmogljivost vseh linij […], ki znaša 152 tisoč ton na leto, dosežena leta 2010.

The Polish authorities confirmed that the beneficiary’s own contribution exceeded 25 % of the eligible costs and was free of any public support.
Poljski organi so potrdili, da je lastni prispevek upravičenca presegel 25 % upravičenih stroškov in ni bil deležen nobene javne podpore.
The following legal basis has been indicated:
Kot pravna podlaga sta navedena naslednja dokumenta:
Special Economic Zones Act of 20 October 1994;
Zakon o posebnih ekonomskih conah z dne 20. oktobra 1994,
Cabinet Decree of 14 September 2004 on the Kamienna Góra Special Economic Zone.
Vladna uredba z dne 14. septembra 2004 o posebni ekonomski coni Kamienna Góra.
The aid measure
Ukrep pomoči
Form and amount of the aid
Oblika in višina pomoči
The aid was granted under the authorised scheme PL 39/2004 [9].
Pomoč je bila dodeljena na podlagi odobrene sheme PL 39/2004 [9].
The aid consists of full exemption from corporate income tax (currently 19 % in Poland) until the end of the period for which the Special Economic Zone was established. (i.e. until 1 December 2017) or until the applicable regional aid ceiling is reached.
Pomoč vključuje popolno oprostitev plačila davka od dohodkov pravnih oseb (ki na Poljskem zdaj znaša 19 %) do konca obdobja, za katerega je bila vzpostavljena posebna ekonomska cona (tj. do 1. decembra 2017), ali do dosežene veljavne zgornje meje regionalne pomoči.
While the actual amount of tax relief is contingent on the beneficiary’s pre-tax income and may turn out to be less than the maximum allowable, the cap for which the beneficiary is eligible should be taken into account when calculating aid intensity.
Medtem ko je dejanska višina davčne olajšave odvisna od prihodka upravičenca pred obdavčitvijo in se lahko izkaže, da je nižja od najvišje dovoljene, je treba pri izračunu intenzivnosti pomoči upoštevati omejitev, ki velja za upravičenca.
This cap corresponds to the amount resulting from the scaled-down regional aid ceiling and amounts to PLN 220,057 million (EUR 47,35 million) (discounted value).
Ta omejitev je enakovredna znesku, izračunanemu na podlagi sorazmerno znižane zgornje meje regionalne pomoči, in znaša 220,057 milijona PLN (47,35 milijona EUR) (diskontirana vrednost).
The Polish authorities have confirmed that in the event of the eligible costs being lower than estimated the cap will be reduced proportionally.
Poljski organi so potrdili, da se bo v primeru nižjih upravičenih stroškov, kot je bilo pričakovano, omejitev sorazmerno znižala.
In order to benefit from the tax exemption, the beneficiary had to apply for a licence to operate in the Special Economic Zone.
Da bi bil upravičen do oprostitve davka, je moral upravičenec zaprositi za dovoljenje za poslovanje v posebni ekonomski coni.
This was granted on 21 June 2004 which, according to the Polish authorities, can be considered as the date on which the aid was granted.
To dovoljenje je bilo podeljeno 21. junija 2004, ki se glede na navedbe poljskih organov lahko šteje za datum dodelitve pomoči.
Notification did not take place until 2006, when, following the various stages of the investment and the resulting increase in the eligible costs, it became clear to the Polish authorities that the aid measure required individual notification in accordance with paragraph 24 of the MSF.
Priglasitev je bila izvedena šele leta 2006, ko so poljski organi po več stopnjah naložbe in posledičnem povečanju upravičenih stroškov nedvoumno ugotovili, da je za ukrep pomoči potrebna posamična priglasitev v skladu z odstavkom 24 večsektorskega okvira.
The Polish authorities have explained that the aid scheme in question (PL 39/2004) requires only a minimum amount of investment expenditure and grants the right to corporate income tax exemption up to the allowable regional aid ceiling.
Poljski organi so pojasnili, da je z zadevno shemo pomoči (PL 39/2004) zahtevan samo minimalni znesek investicijskih izdatkov in zagotovljena pravica do oprostitve davka od dohodkov pravnih oseb do dovoljene zgornje meje regionalne pomoči.
When the licence, and hence the aid, were awarded, neither the exact amount of the eligible costs nor the amount of the aid were known to the authorities.
Ko je bilo podeljeno dovoljenje in s tem pomoč, organi niso bili seznanjeni s točnim zneskom upravičenih stroškov niti z višino pomoči.
In the light of the above, and in order to comply with the standstill clause, the Polish authorities undertook to limit the amount of aid currently available to the beneficiary to the maximum which does not require individual notification under paragraph 24 of the MSF (i.e. EUR 37,5 million (discounted value)).
Ob upoštevanju zgoraj navedenega in za izpolnitev klavzule o mirovanju so se poljski organi zavezali, da bodo višino pomoči, ki je zdaj na voljo upravičencu, omejili na najvišjo vrednost, pri kateri se ne zahteva posamična priglasitev iz odstavka 24 večsektorskega okvira (tj. 37,5 milijona EUR (diskontirana vrednost)).
Aid in excess of this amount will not be implemented until the Commission has given its approval.
Pomoč, ki presega ta znesek, se lahko dodeli šele, ko to odobri Komisija.
The awarding authority responsible is the Ministry of the Economy.
Organ, odgovoren za dodelitev, je ministrstvo za gospodarstvo.
The tax exemption granted under scheme PL 39/2004 can be cumulated with aid received from other sources to cover the same eligible costs.
Davčna oprostitev, odobrena na podlagi sheme PL 39/2004, se lahko za kritje istih upravičenih stroškov kumulira s pomočjo, prejeto iz drugih virov.
However, Poland has confirmed that the total amount of regional aid in this case will not exceed the amount resulting from the scaled-down regional aid ceiling.
Kljub temu je Poljska potrdila, da skupni znesek regionalne pomoči v tem primeru ne bo presegel zneska, izračunanega na podlagi sorazmerno znižane zgornje meje regionalne pomoči.
Maintenance of the assisted activity
Ohranitev dejavnosti, za katero se dodeljuje pomoč
The Polish authorities have confirmed that the investment project must be maintained for a period of five years from the day of its completion.
Poljski organi so potrdili, da je treba naložbeni projekt ohraniti v obdobju petih let po datumu njegovega zaključka.
As for the incentive effect of the aid, it has been confirmed that the beneficiary applied for the licence entitling it to the aid and the licence was granted before the start of work on the project.
Kar zadeva spodbujevalni učinek pomoči, je bilo potrjeno, da je upravičenec zaprosil za dovoljenje, na podlagi katerega je pridobil pomoč, in da se je dovoljenje podelilo pred začetkom izvajanja projekta.
As mentioned above, the licence entitled the beneficiary to aid in the form of tax exemption up to the applicable regional aid ceiling calculated with reference to the total eligible costs of the project.
Kot je bilo navedeno zgoraj, je upravičenec na podlagi dovoljenja pridobil pomoč v obliki davčne oprostitve do veljavne zgornje meje regionalne pomoči, izračunane glede na skupne upravičene stroške projekta.
Contribution to regional development
Prispevek k regionalnemu razvoju
Lower Silesia is a region with serious socioeconomic problems in which per capita GDP was only 51,7 % of the EU-27 average in 2004 [10] and the unemployment rate stood at 24,9 %, equivalent to 268 % of the EU-27 average and 131 % of the Polish average.
Spodnja Šlezija je regija z resnimi socialno–gospodarskimi težavami, v kateri je leta 2004 BDP dosegal samo 51,7 % povprečja v EU-27 [10], medtem ko je stopnja brezposelnosti znašala 24,9 %, kar je enakovredno 268 % povprečne stopnje v EU-27 in 131 % povprečne stopnje na Poljskem.
The investment into the […] production lines is expected to create around 500 direct jobs as well as additional jobs for paper and printing ink suppliers and other support service providers.
Pričakovano je, da bo naložba v proizvodne linije […] neposredno ustvarila približno 500 delovnih mest, poleg tega pa tudi dodatna delovna mesta za dobavitelje papirja in tiskarskega črnila ter druge ponudnike podpornih storitev.
Furthermore, due to its use of leading-edge technology (laser engraving of printing forms and computer-aided manufacture), the project will create demand for personnel with higher education and will ensure the transfer of know-how.
Poleg tega bo projekt zaradi uporabe najsodobnejše tehnologije (lasersko graviranje tiskarskih form in računalniško podprta proizvodnja) ustvaril povpraševanje po osebju z višjo izobrazbo ter zagotovil prenos strokovnega znanja in izkušenj.
The Polish authorities have undertaken to submit to the Commission:
Poljski organi so se zavezali, da bodo Komisiji predložili:
on a five-yearly basis, starting from the day on which the Commission approves the aid, an intermediary report (including information on the aid amounts paid, execution of the aid contract and any other investment projects started at the same establishment/plant);
vmesno poročilo (vključno z informacijami o izplačanih zneskih pomoči, izvrševanju pogodbe o pomoči in kakršnih koli drugih naložbenih projektih, ki se začnejo v istem podjetju/obratu), in sicer pet let od datuma, ko Komisija odobri pomoč,
within six months of payment of the last aid instalment on the basis of the notified payment schedule, a detailed final report.
podrobno končno poročilo, in sicer v šestih mesecih od plačila zadnjega obroka pomoči na podlagi priglašenega načrta plačil.
Doubts concerning the definition of the relevant geographic market
Dvomi v zvezi z opredelitvijo upoštevnega geografskega trga
For the purpose of the market analysis to be carried out in accordance with paragraph 24 of the MSF, Poland considers that the geographic market is EEA-wide on the basis that the Nowogrodziec plant and other printing works located in Poland already supply markets as distant as the United Kingdom (the aided printing works is already printing the British magazine ‘Take a Break’) [11].
Za namene tržne analize, ki jo je treba opraviti v skladu z odstavkom 24 večsektorskega okvira, Poljska meni, da geografski trg obsega celoten EGP, ker obrat v Nowogrodziecu in druge tiskarne na Poljskem že zdaj dobavljajo na oddaljene trge, kot je na primer Združeno kraljestvo (tiskarna, ki prejema pomoč, tiska britansko revijo „Take a Break“) [11].
