Before launching the tender procedure for the PPAs, a lowest cost analysis was undertaken to determine a list of investment priorities in the sector.
Pred začetkom razpisnega postopka za pogodbe PNE je bila opravljena analiza najnižjih stroškov za določitev seznama prednostnih nalog pri naložbah v tem sektorju.
The interested parties also argue that since PSE was operating in a regulated electricity system, its behaviour cannot be compared with the behaviour of companies operating under normal market conditions.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo tudi, da je PSE deloval v reguliranem elektroenergetskem sistemu, zato njegovega ravnanja ni mogoče primerjati z ravnanjem družb, ki delujejo v običajnih tržnih razmerah.
Accordingly, PSE's behaviour should be assessed with reference to objective and verifiable elements which, according to the interested parties, are constituted by the costs incurred by power generators.
V skladu s tem bi bilo treba ravnanje PSE ocenjevati glede na objektivne in preverljive elemente, ki po mnenju zainteresiranih strank temeljijo na stroških, ki bremenijo proizvajalce energije.
PSE's behaviour is compatible with the private investor principle because PPAs cover nothing other than fixed costs plus variable costs and a reasonable margin of profit.
Ravnanje PSE je skladno z načelom zasebnega vlagatelja, ker pogodbe PNE krijejo samo stalne in spremenljive stroške ter ustrezno stopnjo dobička.
It is said to be generally accepted practice for operators in the sector to conclude long-term contracts like PPAs.
Sklepanje dolgoročnih pogodb, kot so pogodbe PNE, velja za splošno sprejeto prakso izvajalcev dejavnosti v tem sektorju.
This, it is argued, is a normal form of risk-sharing between the power generator and the buyer.
Šlo naj bi za običajno obliko delitve tveganja med proizvajalcem energije in kupcem.
The long duration of a contract should not be construed as an advantage per se.
Dolgoročnost pogodbe se sama po sebi ne bi smela razlagati kot prednost.
The interested parties cite a number of examples: a contract between Electricité de France and Péchiney in France, two contracts between Redes Energéticas Nacionais and Turbogás and Electricidade De Portugal and Pego in Portugal, and contracts concluded by Northern Ireland Electricity in the United Kingdom.
Zainteresirane stranke navajajo več primerov: pogodbo, ki sta jo sklenila Electricité de France in Péchiney v Franciji, dve pogodbi, ki so ju sklenili Redes Energéticas Nacionais in Turbogás ter Electricidade De Portugal in Pego na Portugalskem, in pogodbe, ki jih je sklenil Northern Ireland Electricity v Združenem kraljestvu.
The interested parties also refer to an ‘IASB’ contract, but the references provided were incorrect and the Commission was unable to find the document.
Zainteresirane stranke se sklicujejo tudi na pogodbo „IASB“, vendar predloženo sklicevanje ni bilo pravilno, zato Komisija ni mogla najti dokumenta.
The interested parties claim that the Commission did not express reservations about the duration of these contracts, even though it amounted to at least 15 years.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo, da Komisija ni izrazila pridržkov glede trajanja teh pogodb, čeprav znaša vsaj 15 let.
The interested parties state that long-term contracts are also a generally accepted practice in the USA, but fail to provide any specific examples.
Zainteresirane stranke navajajo, da so dolgoročne pogodbe splošno sprejeta praksa tudi v ZDA, vendar pa ne navedejo konkretnih primerov.
The interested parties also claim that PPAs do not guarantee return on investment.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo tudi, da pogodbe PNE ne zagotavljajo donosa naložbe.
PSE and regulatory authorities have retained the legal means to limit return on investment.
PSE in regulativni organi so si pridržali pravna sredstva za omejitev donosa naložbe.
In particular, the regulatory authorities can review prices and reject excessive or unjustified charges.
Regulativni organi lahko zlasti pregledajo cene in zavrnejo previsoke ali neupravičene stroške.
PSE did not always use power plants' full capacity, and incorporated gains resulting from efficiency improvements when calculating electricity prices in the contracts.
PSE ni vedno uporabil polne zmogljivosti elektrarn in je vračunal dobiček, ki izhaja iz izboljšane učinkovitosti, pri izračunavanju cen v pogodbah.
Power generators also bear a number of risks relating e.g. to financing, construction, operating and maintenance.
Proizvajalci energije nosijo tudi številna tveganja, povezana na primer s financiranjem, gradnjo, delovanjem in vzdrževanjem.
Since the PPAs do not provide any economic advantage, it is argued, they do not constitute state aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Ker pogodbe PNE ne zagotavljajo nikakršne gospodarske prednosti, po njihovem mnenju ne pomenijo državne pomoči v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
Interested parties that are privately owned also argue that, even if the PPAs did contain some economic advantage, the value of this economic advantage would have been reflected in the sale price agreed at the time of the privatisation of the power plant.
Zainteresirane stranke, ki so v zasebni lasti, trdijo tudi, da bi se gospodarska prednost, če bi jo pogodbe PNE že prinašale, izrazila v prodajni ceni, dogovorjeni ob privatizaciji elektrarne.
PPAs were necessary in order to carry out privatisation, being one of the basic preconditions of the privatisation agreements for these plants.
Pogodbe PNE so bile potrebne, da bi se opravila privatizacija, saj so bile eden temeljnih predpogojev privatizacijskih pogodb za te elektrarne.
The interested parties argue that, further to the Banks and Falck judgments of the Court of Justice, the circumstances referred to above rule out any element of economic advantage from the PPAs.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo, da po sodbah Sodišča Banks in Falck zgoraj navedene okoliščine izključujejo kakršen koli element gospodarske prednosti pri pogodbah PNE.
The interested parties argue that the power generators that are parties to the PPAs provide services of general economic interest (SGEIs).
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo, da proizvajalci energije, ki so stranke pogodb PNE, zagotavljajo storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena („storitve SSGP“).
state aid under the PPAs, if any, meets the four cumulative criteria laid down by the Court in its judgment in case C-280/00 (the Altmark judgment).
Državna pomoč v skladu s pogodbami PNE vsekakor izpolnjuje štiri kumulativna merila, ki jih je Sodišče določilo v sodbi v zadevi C-280/00 („sodba Altmark“).
First, the power generators that are parties to the PPAs will be entrusted with providing SGEIs.
Prvič, proizvajalci energije, ki so stranke pogodb PNE, bodo pristojni za zagotavljanje storitev SSGP.
This follows from Article 1(2) of the 1997 Polish Energy Act, which states that the state must secure a continuous and uninterrupted supply of energy to end-users in a manner that is technically and economically justifiable, with due regard for the requirements of environmental protection.
To sledi iz člena 1(2) poljskega energetskega zakona iz leta 1997, v katerem je navedeno, da mora država zagotoviti stalno in neprekinjeno oskrbo z energijo končnim uporabnikom tako, da je to tehnično in ekonomsko upravičeno, ob ustreznem upoštevanju zahtev po varstvu okolja.
The interested parties also consider diversification of fuel supply and reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions close to urban areas as SGEIs which they are bound to provide.
Zainteresirane stranke štejejo za storitve SSGP, ki so jih dolžne zagotavljati, tudi razširitev preskrbe z gorivom in zmanjšanje emisij dušikovega oksida v bližini mestnih območij.
Member States have a wide margin of discretion to determine which services constitute SGEIs.
Države članice imajo široko diskrecijsko pravico pri določanju, katere storitve so storitve SSGP.
More precisely, Directive 96/92/EC makes it possible for security of supply to be regarded as an SGEI, which is confirmed by the Commission's decision-making practice.
Natančneje, Direktiva 96/92/ES omogoča, da se zanesljivost oskrbe obravnava kot storitev SSGP, kar potrjuje praksa odločanja Komisije.
Environmental protection, including energy efficiency and climate protection, was also recognised as an SGEI in Directive 2003/54/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2003 concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity and repealing Directive 96/92/EC.
Tudi varstvo okolja, vključno z energetsko učinkovitostjo in varstvom podnebja, je bilo priznano kot storitev SSGP v Direktivi 2003/54/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 26. junija 2003 o skupnih pravilih za notranji trg z električno energijo in o razveljavitvi Direktive 96/92/ES.
As such, the PPAs are regarded as a legal instrument used by the State to entrust power generators with the aforementioned SGEIs, as confirmed by the bid assessment criteria.
Pogodbe PNE tako veljajo za pravni instrument, ki ga država uporabi, da pooblasti proizvajalce energije za navedene storitve SSGP, kot to potrjujejo merila za ocenjevanje ponudb.
Second, the PPAs, including annexes, lay down precise rules governing compensation for the costs of the SGEIs from the outset.
Drugič, pogodbe PNE, vključno s prilogami, določajo natančna pravila o nadomestilu za stroške storitev SSGP že od samega začetka.
This is a part of the negotiations for the PPAs.
To je del pogajanj za pogodbe PNE.
Certain PPAs were amended several times, even after Poland's accession to the European Union, but this did not have a significant impact on the compensation rules or the amounts involved.
Nekatere PNE so bile večkrat spremenjene, tudi po pristopu Poljske k Evropski uniji, vendar pa niso močneje vplivale na pravila o nadomestilu ali zadevne zneske.
Third, the compensation paid on the basis of PPAs does not exceed the costs of the SGEIs provided.
Tretjič, nadomestilo, izplačano na podlagi pogodb PNE, ne presega stroškov zagotovljenih storitev SSGP.
PPAs solely cover the costs of generating the electricity purchased (e.g. construction costs, capital costs, fixed and variable operating and maintenance costs, overheads) and a reasonable margin of profit.
Pogodbe PNE krijejo samo stroške proizvajanja kupljene električne energije (npr. gradbene stroške, stroške kapitala, stalne in spremenljive stroške obratovanja in vzdrževanja, režijske stroške) in ustrezno stopnjo dobička.
Fourth, the SGEIs were entrusted to companies selected by way of an open, competitive and non-discriminatory tender procedure for the conclusion of the PPAs.
Četrtič, za storitve SSGP so bile pooblaščene družbe, izbrane z odprtim in nediskriminacijskim razpisnim postopkom za sklenitev pogodb PNE.
In the light of the above, the interested parties conclude that the PPAs fulfil the four cumulative criteria referred to in the Altmark judgment and should be regarded as not constituting aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Glede na navedbe zainteresirane stranke ugotavljajo, da pogodbe PNE izpolnjujejo štiri kumulativna merila, navedena v sodbi Altmark, in jih je treba obravnavati, kot da niso pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
The interested parties also argue that even if PPAs were deemed not to fulfil the four cumulative criteria of the Altmark judgment, they could still be declared compatible with the common market under Article 86(2) of the EC Treaty.
Zainteresirane stranke poleg tega trdijo, da bi bile lahko pogodbe PNE, tudi če bi veljalo, da ne izpolnjujejo štirih kumulativnim meril iz sodbe Altmark, še vedno razglašene za združljive s skupnim trgom v skladu s členom 86(2) Pogodbe ES.
As indicated in recital 88, the PPAs entrusted power generators with SGEIs, the nature of which is laid down in Polish law.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 88, so bili proizvajalci energije v skladu s pogodbami PNE pooblaščeni za storitve SSGP, katerih lastnosti so opredeljene v poljski zakonodaji.
PPAs are regarded as a necessary means to guarantee provision of SGEIs; otherwise, appropriate sources of financing for the plants' development could not have been found.
Pogodbe PNE veljajo za sredstva, ki so potrebna, da se zagotovi opravljanje storitev SSGP; drugače ne bi bilo mogoče poiskati ustreznih virov financiranja za razvoj elektrarn.
Aid under PPAs is proportionate to the objective of obtaining the SGEIs since it does not cover more than the full costs of electricity generation, plus a reasonable margin of profit.
Pomoč v skladu s pogodbami PNE je sorazmerna s ciljem pridobivanja storitev SSGP, saj krije samo celotne stroške proizvodnje električne energije in ustrezno stopnjo dobička.
In short, in view of the very limited number of interconnections between Poland's electricity network and other electricity networks in the European Union, the aid could not affect the development of trade between Member States to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Skratka, glede na zelo omejeno število povezav med poljskim elektroenergetskim omrežjem in drugimi elektroenergetskimi omrežji v Evropski uniji, pomoč ne bi mogla vplivati na razvoj trgovine med državami članicami v obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju s skupnimi interesi.
The interested parties consider that the PPA system does not comprise elements of selectivity.
Zainteresirane stranke menijo, da sistem pogodb PNE ne vsebuje elementov selektivnosti.
According to the interested parties, it cannot be automatically assumed that a measure that favours only one sector of the economy is selective.
Po mnenju zainteresiranih strank ni mogoče samodejno domnevati, da je ukrep, ki koristi samo enemu gospodarskemu sektorju, selektiven.
The interested parties argue that the Commission should always define the relevant geographical and product market.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo, da bi morala Komisija vedno opredeliti ustrezen geografski in proizvodni trg.
The Commission should then identify the competitors of the aid measure's recipients in this market so as to determine whether the measure is selective.
Komisija bi morala nato opredeliti tekmece prejemnikov ukrepa pomoči na tem trgu, da bi ugotovila, ali je ukrep selektiven.
In this specific case, the tender procedure for the selection of parties to the PPAs was open, transparent and non-discriminatory, which means that no selectivity was involved.
V tem primeru je bil razpisni postopek za izbiro strank pogodb PNE odprt, pregleden in nediskriminacijski, kar pomeni, da ni vključeval nikakršne selektivnosti.
The interested parties also argue that sector-specific measures may be non-selective if they are purely the result of market forces.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo tudi, da so sektorski ukrepi lahko neselektivni, če so izključno rezultat tržnih sil.
The measures examined by the Court in the Van der Kooy judgment are a typical example of non-selective measures of this type.
Ukrepi, ki jih je Sodišče proučilo v sodbi Van der Kooy, so značilen primer neselektivnih ukrepov te vrste.
The interested parties also point out that the decision to conclude PPAs was taken not by the state, but by PSE.
Zainteresirane stranke poudarjajo tudi, da je odločitev o sklenitvi pogodb PNE sprejel PSE in ne država.
The selectivity criterion should be replaced by the private investor principle.
Merilo selektivnosti bi bilo treba nadomestiti z načelom zasebnega vlagatelja.
Distortion of competition and impact on trade between Member States
Izkrivljanje konkurence in vpliv na trgovino med državami članicami
The interested parties argue that the Commission should have examined whether the PPAs distorted competition or affected trade between Member States at the time when they were concluded.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo, da bi Komisija morala proučiti, ali so pogodbe PNE izkrivljale konkurenco ali vplivale ne trgovino med državami članicami v obdobju, ko so bile sklenjene.
The PPAs were signed at a time when there was no competition on the Polish electricity market.
Pogodbe PNE so bile podpisane v obdobju, ko na poljskem trgu električne energije ni bilo nobene konkurence.
Directive 96/92/EC was not applicable to Poland at that time.
Direktiva 96/92/ES se v tistem obdobju na Poljskem ni uporabljala.
Poland was at a very early stage of its EU membership negotiations — there was not even a definitive timeline for accession.
Poljska je bila na začetni stopnji pogajanj o članstvu v EU – ni bilo niti še natančnega časovnega načrta za pristop.
Prices at the time were fully regulated, including prices for electricity generators which were not parties to PPAs.
Cene so bile takrat v celoti nadzorovane, vključno s cenami za proizvajalce električne energije, ki niso bili stranke pogodb PNE.
So PPAs could not be seen as distorting competition at that time.
Zato pogodb PNE ni mogoče obravnavati, kot da so v tistem obdobju izkrivljale konkurenco.
The interested parties also note that Poland was not a Member State of the European Union at the time the PPAs were signed.
Zainteresirane stranke opozarjajo tudi, da Poljska ob podpisu pogodb PNE ni bila članica Evropske unije.
Furthermore, connection capacity between Poland and its neighbours was limited, and the electricity generated under the PPAs was more expensive than electricity generated outside the PPAs.
Poleg tega je bila zmogljivost povezav med Poljsko in njenimi sosedami omejena, električna energija, proizvedena v skladu s pogodbami PNE, pa je bila dražja od električne energije, proizvedene zunaj PNE.
As such, it cannot be argued that the PPAs affected trade between Member States at the time when they were concluded.
Zato ni mogoče trditi, da so pogodbe PNE vplivale na trgovino med državami članicami v obdobju, ko so bile sklenjene.
Compatibility within the meaning of Article 87(3)(a) of the EC Treaty
Združljivost v smislu člena 87(3)(a) Pogodbe ES
The interested parties argue that, if the PPAs were state aid, they could be declared compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 87(3)(a) of the EC Treaty.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo, da bi bile lahko pogodbe PNE, če bi bile državna pomoč, razglašene za združljive s skupnim trgom v skladu s členom 87(3)(a) Pogodbe ES.
The interested parties argue that the PPAs cannot be regarded as operating aid.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo, da pogodb PNE ni mogoče obravnavati kot pomoč za tekoče poslovanje.
They constitute the price payable for goods or services supplied under a business contract.
Pomenijo ceno, ki jo je treba plačati za blago ali storitve, dobavljene po poslovni pogodbi.
Besides, the purpose of PPAs is to enable implementation of an investment project, which demonstrates that they are investment (as opposed to operating) measures.
Poleg tega je namen pogodb PNE omogočiti uresničitev naložbenega projekta, iz česar je razvidno, da so to ukrepi za naložbe (v nasprotju z ukrepi za tekoče poslovanje).
The interested parties also take the view that the Commission should recognise the existence of exceptional circumstances that could result in the operating aid being authorised in this case.
Zainteresirane stranke menijo tudi, da bi morala Komisija priznati izredne okoliščine, na podlagi katerih bi bila lahko pomoč za tekoče poslovanje v tem primeru dovoljena.
Due consideration should be given to the state of the Polish electricity sector in the 1990s.
Treba bi bilo ustrezno upoštevati stanje poljskega sektorja električne energije v devetdesetih letih prejšnjega stoletja.
Clearly, Poland could be treated as one of the regions referred to in Article 87(3)(a) of the EC Treaty.
Očitno bi se lahko Poljska obravnavala kot ena od regij iz člena 87(3)(a) Pogodbe ES.
Some of the power generators in question were located in areas where closure would have a very significant impact on the community as a whole.
Nekateri zadevni proizvajalci energije so bili na območjih, na katerih bi njihovo zaprtje zelo pomembno vplivalo na celotno skupnost.
PPAs also promoted the development of the electricity sector in Poland and of the economy as a whole, given the importance of this sector.
Pogodbe PNE so tudi spodbudile razvoj sektorja električne energije na Poljskem in celotnega gospodarstva glede na pomen tega sektorja.
Compatibility within the meaning of Article 87(3)(b) of the EC Treaty
Združljivost v smislu člena 87(3)(b) Pogodbe ES
The interested parties argue that, if the PPAs were state aid, they could be declared compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 87(3)(b) of the EC Treaty.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo, da bi bile lahko pogodbe PNE, če bi bile državna pomoč, razglašene za združljive s skupnim trgom v skladu s členom 87(3)(b) Pogodbe ES.
According to the interested parties, when the PPAs were signed the state of the Polish electricity sector was creating serious disruption in the Polish economy.
Po mnenju zainteresiranih strank je stanje poljskega sektorja električne energije ob podpisu pogodb PNE povzročalo resne motnje v poljskem gospodarstvu.
PPAs, it is argued, were a way of remedying this serious disruption.
Trdijo, da so bile pogodbe PNE način za odpravljanje teh resnih motenj.
Compatibility within the meaning of Article 87(3)(c of the EC Treaty)
Združljivost v smislu člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES
The interested parties argue that, if the PPAs were state aid, they could be declared compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo, da bi bile lahko PNE, če bi bile državna pomoč, razglašene za združljive s skupnim trgom v skladu s členom 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES.
In that respect, the interested parties take the view that PPAs should not be analysed in the light of the Stranded Costs Methodology, since they were not designed to compensate for these costs.
V tem smislu zainteresirane stranke menijo, da pogodb PNE ne bi smeli analizirati v skladu z metodologijo za nasedle stroške, saj niso bile zasnovane za nadomeščanje teh stroškov.
PPAs should instead be analysed directly in the light of Article 87(3)(c).
Namesto tega bi bilo treba pogodbe PNE analizirati neposredno v skladu s členom 87(3)(c).
The interested parties claim that PPAs were designed to enable the development of the Polish energy sector by attracting foreign investment in modern, environmentally friendly power plants.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo, da so bile pogodbe PNE zasnovane tako, da bi omogočile razvoj poljskega energetskega sektorja s privabljanjem tujih naložb v sodobne, okolju prijazne elektrarne.
As such, PPAs were intended to ‘facilitate the development of certain economic activities.’
Pogodbe PNE so bile tako namenjene „pospeševanju razvoja določenih gospodarskih dejavnosti“.
The interested parties also claim that PPAs had little impact on trade in electricity between Member States.
Zainteresirane stranke trdijo tudi, da pogodbe PNE niso dosti vplivale na trgovino z električno energijo med državami članicami.
For technical reasons, interconnections between Poland and other countries were limited.
Povezave med Poljsko in drugimi državami so bile omejene zaradi tehničnih razlogov.
Imports faced technical barriers and full use had already been made of the scope for exports, so it cannot be claimed that PPAs introduced restrictions in this area.
Uvoz so omejevale tehnične ovire, obseg izvoza pa je že bil v celoti izkoriščen, zato ni mogoče trditi, da so pogodbe PNE povzročile omejitve na tem področju.
According to the interested parties, in its initial report on the energy market, the Commission did not identify PPAs as an obstacle to integration of the European energy markets.
Po trditvah zainteresiranih strank Komisija v začetnem poročilu o energetskem trgu pogodb PNE ni opredelila kot oviro za povezovanje evropskih energetskih trgov.
The interested parties conclude that the PPAs had ‘no adverse effect on trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.’
Zainteresirane stranke ugotavljajo, da pogodbe PNE „niso spreminjale trgovinskih pogojev v obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju s skupnimi interesi“.
