Poland described the conditions under which KUKE issued these guarantees (the premiums and the type of collateral required) and underlined that KUKE had not had to make any payments to shipowners under the guarantees provided.
Poljska je opisala pogoje, pod katerimi je KUKE izdala te garancije (premije in vrsto zahtevanega zavarovanja) in poudarila, da KUKE lastnikom ladij pod zagotovljenimi garancijami ni bilo treba izvršiti nobenih plačil.
The Polish authorities noted that the adoption of restructuring measures had improved the yard’s financial standing and as a result it had been able to demonstrate its viability.
Poljski organi so navedli, da je sprejetje ukrepov za prestrukturiranje izboljšalo finančno stanje ladjedelnice in posledično so lahko izkazali sposobnost preživetja.
The Polish shipbuilding employers’ association Forum Okrętowe explained the reasons for the yard’s difficulties and stated that in its opinion the yard had survived only thanks to successful implementation of its restructuring plan and State aid received for restructuring.
Poljsko združenje ladjedelničarjev Forum Okrętowe je pojasnilo razloge za težave ladjedelnice in navedlo, da je po njegovem mnenju ladjedelnica preživela samo zahvaljujoč uspešni izvedbi načrta za prestrukturiranje in državni pomoči, ki jo je prejela za prestrukturiranje.
The yard’s supplier of deck cranes and anchor and mooring equipment, Towimor SA, stated that the yard had restored its shipbuilding capacities and survived the crises of 2002-2004 only because ARP had taken the lead in the restructuring process.
Towimor S.A., ki ladjedelnici dobavlja dvigala na krovu ter opremo za sidranje in privezovanje, je navedel, da je ladjedelnica obnovila ladjedelniške zmogljivosti in preživela krizo med letoma 2002 in 2004 samo zato, ker je ARP prevzela pobudo v postopku prestrukturiranja.
The company emphasised that the restructuring plan was being successfully implemented and the improvements achieved were of a long-term nature.
Podjetje je poudarilo, da je bil načrt za prestrukturiranje uspešno izveden in da so dosežene izboljšave dolgoročne.
Lubmor Sp. z o.o., a supplier of interior equipment for vessels, stressed the importance of SSN’s existence for itself and for other companies cooperating with the yard.
Lubmor Sp. z o.o., dobavitelj notranje opreme za plovila, je poudaril pomembnost obstoja SSN zase in za druga podjetja, ki sodelujejo z ladjedelnico.
Another supplier, H. Cegielski, which mainly produces marine engines, emphasised that the successful restructuring of SSN had saved the whole shipbuilding sector in 2002-2004 and the yard’s systematically improving financial results indicated that the restructuring measures were leading to long-term improvements.
Dobavitelj H. Cegielski, ki proizvaja predvsem ladijske motorje, je poudaril, da je uspešno prestrukturiranje SSN med letoma 2002 in 2004 rešilo celoten ladjedelniški sektor in da je sistematično izboljšanje finančnih rezultatov ladjedelnice pomenilo, da ukrepi za prestrukturiranje vodijo k dolgoročnim izboljšavam.
Spliethoff’s Bevrachtingskantoor BV, a customer of SSN, highlighted the yard’s extensive know-how in various segments of shipbuilding and the quality of the vessels that it had built.
Spliethoff's Bevrachtingskantoor B.V., stranka SSN, je poudaril izjemno strokovno znanje ladjedelnice v različnih segmentih ladjedelništva in kakovost plovil, ki jih je ladjedelnica zgradila.
The shipowner pointed out that SSN had constructed eight multipurpose vessels for it with high technical requirements and quality standards.
Lastnik ladje je poudaril, da je SSN zanj zgradila osem večnamenskih plovil, ki so izpolnjevala visoke tehnične zahteve in standarde kakovosti.
The shipowner expressed the hope that the Commission would approve the aid granted to the yard.
Lastnik ladje je izrazil upanje, da bo Komisija odobrila pomoč, ki jo je prejela ladjedelnica.
Other customers of the yard, Peter Dohle Schiffahrts–KG and Odfjell, expressed similar opinions.
Drugi stranki ladjedelnice, Peter Dohle Schiffahrts–KG in Odfjell, sta izrazili podobno mnenje.
The trade union Solidarność emphasised the importance of the shipyard for employment and the economic situation of the whole region.

Izrazil je upanje, da bo Komisija takoj zaključila preiskavo in odobrila pomoč, ki jo je prejela ladjedelnica.
The Mayor of Szczecin underlined the importance of the yard’s existence for the region and noted that despite certain delays the restructuring that had been implemented had produced the expected results and the yard was able to compete on the market in the long term.
Župan Ščečina je poudaril pomembnost obstoja ladjedelnice za regijo in navedel, da je izvedeno prestrukturiranje kljub nekaterim zamudam prineslo pričakovane rezultate in da lahko ladjedelnica na trgu konkurira dolgoročno.

It described the difficulties facing the region following the bankruptcy of SSPH in 2002 and stated that the Polish authorities’ support for the yard had made it possible to overcome the crisis.
Opisal je težave, s katerimi se je regija soočala po stečaju SSPH leta 2002, in navedel, da so to krizo premagali s pomočjo podpore, ki so jo poljski organi nudili ladjedelnici.
DEVELOPMENTS FOLLOWING THE COMMISSION DECISION TO START THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE
RAZVOJ DOGODKOV PO ODLOČITVI KOMISIJE, DA SPROŽI FORMALNI POSTOPEK PREISKAVE
The Commission investigation and the relevant events are summarised below.
Preiskava Komisije in zadevni dogodki so opisani v nadaljevanju.
In reply to the Commission’s decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure, in the autumn of 2005 the Polish authorities submitted two lines of argument: on the one hand they questioned the Commission’s competence to act in respect of the measures identified as new aid in the Commission’s decision, and on the other they argued that even if these measures constituted new aid, they were compatible with the common market as restructuring aid.
V odgovoru na odločitev Komisije o sprožitvi formalnega postopka preiskave so poljski organi jeseni 2005 predložili dve vrsti argumentov: na eni strani so dvomili v pristojnost Komisije v zvezi z ukrepi, ki so v odločitvi Komisije opredeljeni kot nova pomoč, na drugi strani pa so navedli, da bi bili ti ukrepi, četudi bi pomenili novo pomoč, združljivi s skupnim trgom kot pomoč za prestrukturiranje.
In support of its argument that the aid was compatible, Poland submitted the 2003 restructuring plan to the Commission.
Da bi podprla svoj argument o združljivosti pomoči, je Poljska Komisiji predložila načrt za prestrukturiranje 2003.
The Commission studied the 2003 restructuring plan and sought the assistance of an external consultant.
Komisija je proučila načrt za prestrukturiranje 2003 in poiskala pomoč zunanjega svetovalca.
The Commission concluded that the 2003 restructuring plan did not fulfil any of the conditions for the approval of restructuring aid laid down in the applicable guidelines.
Komisija je sklenila, da načrt za prestrukturiranje 2003 ne izpolnjuje pogojev za odobritev pomoči za prestrukturiranje, kot to predvidevajo veljavne smernice.
In December 2005 the Commission learned from public sources [7] that KPS, a capital group under public ownership, had been created with the aim of integrating the three major Polish shipyards in Gdynia, Gdansk and Szczecin under one umbrella (hereinafter the consolidation plan).
Decembra 2005 je Komisija iz javnih virov [7] izvedela, da je bila ustanovljena KPS, kapitalska družba v lasti države, z namenom povezati tri največje poljske ladjedelnice Gdynia, Gdańsk in Szczecin (v nadaljnjem besedilu: načrt konsolidacije).
The main role of KPS was to provide financing for the shipyards’ production.
Glavna naloga KPS je bila zagotoviti financiranja proizvodnje ladjedelnic.
Poland had not informed the Commission about the consolidation plan at any stage of the procedure, either before or after the decision to initiate the formal investigation procedure.
Poljska Komisije v teku postopka ni obvestila o načrtu konsolidacije, niti pred niti po odločitvi o sprožitvi formalnega postopka preiskave.
At the Commission’s request, at the beginning of 2006 the Polish authorities explained that the consolidation plan had indeed been considered previously but had been abandoned and a new strategy for restructuring the Polish shipbuilding sector would be adopted shortly.
Na zahtevo Komisije so poljski organi na začetku leta 2006 pojasnili, da so načrt konsolidacije predhodno dejansko obravnavali, vendar so ga opustili in kmalu sprejeli novo strategijo za prestrukturiranje poljskega ladjedelniškega sektorja.
Poland clarified that the role of KPS was to provide operational financing for the Polish shipyards, mainly in the form of short-term loans.
Poljska je pojasnila, da je bila naloga KPS zagotoviti operativno financiranje za poljske ladjedelnice, predvsem v obliki kratkoročnih posojil.
At a meeting between the Polish authorities and Commission staff on 22 February 2006, the Commission informed Poland that, on the basis of the information at its disposal, it was unable to conclude that the 2003 restructuring plan was sufficient to restore the yard to long-term viability.
Na sestanku med poljskimi organi in osebjem Komisije 22. februarja 2006 je Komisija Poljsko obvestila, da na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij ne more skleniti, da je bil načrt za prestrukturiranje 2003 zadosten za obnovitev dolgoročne sposobnosti preživetja ladjedelnice.
The Commission stressed that the 2003 restructuring plan was a start-up plan, which mainly addressed the financial measures necessary to resume operation after the bankruptcy of SSPH, rather than a restructuring plan which guaranteed the restoration of long-term viability.
Komisija je poudarila, da je bil načrt za prestrukturiranje 2003 začetni načrt, ki je obravnaval predvsem finančne ukrepe, potrebne za obnovitev delovanja po stečaju SSPH, in ne načrt za prestrukturiranje, ki bi zagotavljal obnovitev dolgoročne sposobnosti preživetja.
In particular, the investments envisaged were insufficient in view of the poor condition of the yard’s equipment and installations.
Zlasti načrtovane naložbe niso bile zadostne zaradi slabega stanja opreme in naprav ladjedelnice.
The Polish authorities and the yard maintained that the yard had already restored viability.
Poljski organi in ladjedelnica so vztrajali, da je ladjedelnica že obnovila sposobnost preživetja.
Following the meeting the Polish authorities undertook [8] to submit an amended restructuring plan for SSN to the Commission by 22 May 2006.
Po sestanku so se poljski organi zavezali [8], da bodo spremenjeni načrt za prestrukturiranje za SSN Komisiji predložili do 22. maja 2006.
On 26 June 2006 the Commission received a first draft restructuring plan entitled ‘Development plan for Stocznia Szczecińska Nowa Sp. z o.o. for’ 2006-2011 drawn up with the assistance of the consultancy firm Deloitte Advisory.
junija 2006 je Komisija prejela prvi osnutek načrta za prestrukturiranje z naslovom „Razvojni načrt za Stocznia Szczecińska Nowa Sp. z o.o. za obdobje 2006–2011“, ki je bil pripravljen s pomočjo svetovalnega podjetja Deloitte Advisory.
The Commission expressed strong concerns with regard to this draft during an on-site visit on 13 June 2006 and in writing on 17 July 2006, pointing out that the first draft restructuring plan did not appear to be sufficiently far-reaching to ensure that the yard would recover long-term viability.
Komisija je med obiskom ladjedelnice 13. junija 2006 in v pisni obliki 17. julija 2006 izrazila veliko zaskrbljenost v zvezi s tem osnutkom in poudarila, da se prvi osnutek načrta za prestrukturiranje ne zdi dovolj daljnosežen za zagotovitev, da bo ladjedelnica obnovila dolgoročno sposobnost preživetja.
The Commission underlined that restructuring needed to be financed in significant part from own resources free of State aid, which was not envisaged in the draft plan submitted, and that meaningful compensatory measures needed to be implemented.
Komisija je poudarila, da se mora prestrukturiranje v veliki meri financirati iz lastnih sredstev, ki ne vsebujejo državne pomoči, kar pa v predloženem osnutku načrta ni bilo predvideno, in da je treba izvesti smiselne izravnalne ukrepe.
Noting the continuing reliance on guarantees provided by KUKE, a government agency, the Commission warned the yard and the Polish authorities that these guarantees constituted State aid.
Ob upoštevanju stalnega opiranja na garancije KUKE, vladne agencije, je Komisija ladjedelnico in poljske organe opozorila, da te garancije predstavljajo državno pomoč.
The Commission urged Poland to revise the draft restructuring plan and submit a complete version of the plan by the end of August 2006.
Komisija je Poljsko pozvala, naj spremeni načrt za prestrukturiranje in do konca avgusta 2006 predloži dokončno različico načrta.
Despite these warnings, the 2006 restructuring plan eventually submitted by Poland in September 2006, two months late, did not differ substantially from the first draft.
Kljub tem opozorilom pa se načrt za prestrukturiranje 2006, ki ga je Poljska z dvomesečno zamudo predložila septembra 2006, ni bistveno razlikoval od prvega osnutka.
The main criticisms of the 2006 restructuring plan are described below.
Glavne kritike Komisije v zvezi z načrtom za prestrukturiranje 2006 so opisane spodaj.
In September 2006 Poland informed the Commission that on 31 August 2006 the General Assembly of SSN had decided to increase the yard’s capital by PLN 95 million and to prepare by 15 October 2006 offers for potential investors interested in acquiring the newly issued shares.
Septembra 2006 je Poljska Komisijo obvestila, da se je Generalna skupščina SSN 31. avgusta 2006 odločila za povečanje kapitala ladjedelnice v višini 95 milijonov PLN in da bo do 15. oktobra 2006 pripravila ponudbe za potencialne investitorje, ki se zanimajo za nakup novo izdanih delnic.
By 31 December 2006 only two companies had expressed an interest in acquiring shares in SSN: a Polish steel-trading company, Złomrex, and ISD Polska, a subsidiary of the Ukrainian steel producer Donbas.
Do 31. decembra 2006 sta interes za nakup delnic SSN izrazili samo dve podjetji: poljski trgovec z jeklom Złomrex in ISD Polska, hčerinska družba ukrajinske jeklarne proizvajalke jekla Donbas.
At a meeting on 7 December 2006 (and in writing by letter of 29 January 2007), the Commission explained to the Polish authorities that the 2006 restructuring plan did not fulfil any of the conditions for approval of restructuring aid under the applicable guidelines.
Na sestanku 7. decembra 2006 (in v pisni obliki z dopisom z dne 29. januarja 2007) je Komisija poljskim organom pojasnila, da načrt za prestrukturiranje 2006 ni izpolnil nobenega izmed pogojev za odobritev pomoči za prestrukturiranje v skladu z veljavnimi smernicami.
At the meeting the Polish authorities undertook to privatise the yard in order to improve the prospects of restoring viability and secure a sufficient own contribution to the restructuring.
Na sestanku so se poljski organi zavezali k privatizaciji ladjedelnice, da bi izboljšali možnosti obnovitve sposobnosti preživetja in zagotovili zadosten lastni prispevek k prestrukturiranju.
Following an agreement between Commissioner Neelie Kroes and Minister Piotr Wozniak of December 2006, the Commission engaged in an intensive debate with the Polish authorities and SSN with a view to determining the compensatory measures necessary.
Po dogovoru med komisarko Neelie Kroes in ministrom Piotrom Wozniakom decembra 2006 je Komisija začela intenzivne razgovore s poljskimi organi in SSN z namenom določitve potrebnih izravnalnih ukrepov.
Poland submitted a proposal for compensatory measures in SSN and undertook to close slipway Wulkan 1 once the shipbuilding contracts already signed had been implemented, i.e. in March 2010.
Poljska je predložila predlog za izravnalne ukrepe v SSN in se zavezala k zaprtju operativne površine Wulkan 1, ko bodo izpolnjene že podpisane ladjedelniške pogodbe, tj. marca 2010.
The Commission requested a range of data from SSN.
Komisija je od SSN zahtevala vrsto podatkov.
Eventually, Commission staff informed Poland by letter of 31 July 2007 that they provisionally considered the closure of the Wulkan 1 slipway to be a sufficient compensatory measure, provided that the facility was irreversibly disabled for the purposes of ship assembly and launching and that the closure was implemented by 1 June 2009, or earlier if construction of the 587-IV/09, the last of the vessels scheduled for assembly on that slipway, was completed earlier.
Osebje Komisije je Poljsko z dopisom z dne 31. julija 2007 obvestilo, da začasno upošteva zaprtje operativne površine Wulkan 1 kot zadosten izravnalni ukrep, pod pogojem, da se zmogljivost nepreklicno onemogoči za namene izgradnje in splavitve ladij ter da se zaprtje izvede do 1. junija 2009 ali prej, če se izgradnja plovila 587-IV/09, zadnjega v vrsti načrtovanih na tej operativni površini, zaključi prej.
Furthermore, in 2009 the Wulkan 1 slipway could only be used for assembly of the 587-IV/09.
Poleg tega se v letu 2009 operativna površina Wulkan 1 lahko uporablja le za sestavo plovila 587-IV/09.
The basis for this conclusion of the Commission is described below.
Podlaga za to sklepno ugotovitev Komisije je opisana v nadaljevanju.
The Polish authorities confirmed their intention of implementing the capacity reductions as described in the Commission’s letter.
Poljski organi so potrdili nameravano izvedbo zmanjšanja zmogljivosti, kot je opisano v dopisu Komisije.
In February 2007 the yard’s management sent invitations to purchase a majority stake in SSN to 57 potential investors.
Februarja 2007 je uprava ladjedelnice poslala povabila k nakupu večinskega deleža v SSN 57 potencialnim investitorjem.
At that time the yard had already been negotiating for several months with Zlomrex, but in the end no decision was taken.
V tistem času se je ladjedelnica že več mesecev pogajala z Złomrexom, vendar na koncu ni bila sprejeta nobena odločitev.
A new privatisation effort commenced in autumn 2007.
Jeseni 2007 se je začelo novo prizadevanje za privatizacijo.
The Commission was consulted on a draft Information Memorandum in August and September 2007.
Avgusta in septembra 2007 so potekala posvetovanja s Komisijo o osnutku informacijskega memoranduma.
In September the privatisation consultant of KPS and ARP sent invitations to submit offers to 221 potential investors.
Septembra je svetovalec za privatizacijo KPS in ARP 221 potencialnim investitorjem poslal povabila k predložitvi ponudb.
Six potential investors expressed an interest in acquiring shares in the yard and requested a copy of its Information Memorandum.
Šest potencialnih investitorjev je izrazilo interes za nakup delnic ladjedelnice in zahtevalo kopijo informacijskega memoranduma.
The deadline for the submission of offers by potential investors had been postponed several times.
Rok za predložitev ponudb s strani potencialnih investitorjev je bil večkrat podaljšan.
Noting delays in the privatisation process, the Commission urged Poland by letter of 3 October 2007 to complete it without delay.
Zaradi nadaljnjih zamud pri postopku privatizacije je Komisija Poljsko z dopisom z dne 3. oktobra 2007 pozvala, naj privatizacijo zaključi brez zavlačevanja.
By letter of 23 October 2007 Poland informed the Commission that the privatisation would not be completed as planned by the end of 2007.
Z dopisom z dne 23. oktobra 2007 je Poljska Komisijo obvestila, da privatizacija ne bo končana v skladu z načrti, tj. do konca leta 2007.
After completing a due diligence process, on 20 December 2007 Amber, the only potential investor interested in acquiring SSN, submitted a conditional binding offer, which was assessed by the privatisation consultant of KPS and ARP.
Po zaključku skrbnega postopka je Amber, edini potencialni investitor, ki se je zanimal za nakup SSN, 20. decembra 2007 predložil pogojno zavezujočo ponudbo, ki jo je ocenil svetovalec za privatizacijo KPS in ARP.
As of 20 March 2008 Amber was granted exclusive negotiating rights, which were then extended several times and finally expired on 12 May 2008.
marca 2008 so bile Amberju dodeljene izključne pogajalske pravice, ki so bile nato večkrat podaljšane in so 12. maja 2008 potekle.
On 29 February 2008 Poland forwarded to the Commission a first draft restructuring plan for SSN drawn up by Amber [9].
februarja 2008 je Poljska Komisiji posredovala prvi osnutek načrta za prestrukturiranje za SSN, ki ga je pripravil Amber [9].
At a meeting with the Polish authorities on 12 May 2008, Amber announced that it was withdrawing from the SSN privatisation process.
Na sestanku s poljskimi organi 12. maja 2008 je Amber naznanil, da se umika iz postopka privatizacije SSN.
Poland informed the Commission about this development on the same day.
Poljska je Komisijo še isti dan obvestila o teh razvojnih dogodkih.
In its explanation to the State Treasury, Amber explained that the principal reason for its withdrawal was the fact that after an in-depth due diligence investigation of the yard’s situation it had concluded that the yard would not become profitable even after implementation of the restructuring measures, including significant investment.
V utemeljitvi svoje odločitve, ki jo je Amber poslal ministrstvu za finance, je podjetje kot glavni razlog za umik navedlo dejstvo, da je po poglobljenem postopku skrbnega pregleda stanja ladjedelnice ugotovilo, da ladjedelnica tudi po izvedbi ukrepov za prestrukturiranje, vključno z velikimi naložbami ne bo postala dobičkonosno podjetje.
Since Amber was the only bidder, its withdrawal meant that the privatisation process launched in 2007 had come to an end.
Ker je bil Amber edini ponudnik, je njegov umik pomenil, da se je postopek privatizacije, ki se je začel leta 2007, zaključil.
On 26 May 2008 Poland informed the Commission that the privatisation process had been relaunched.
maja 2008 je Poljska Komisijo obvestila, da se je postopek privatizacije ponovno začel.
In subsequent daily reports, Poland informed the Commission about the action taken by the Polish authorities to find a buyer for SSN.
V poznejših dnevnih poročilih je Poljska Komisijo obvestila o ukrepih, ki so jih sprejeli poljski organi, da bi za SSN našli kupca.
Poland sent the Commission several letters in which potential investors asked to be informed about the continuing privatisation process and to be sent the Information Memorandum when it was available.
Poljska je Komisiji poslala več dopisov, v katerih so potencialni investitor zaprosili za obveščanje o tekočem postopku privatizacije in izrazili željo po informacijskem memorandumu, ko bo ta na voljo.
At a meeting of 13 June 2008 the Polish authorities informed the Commission that several companies intended to submit restructuring plans to the Commission by 26 June 2008.
Na sestanku 13. junija 2008 so poljski organi Komisijo obvestili, da ji namerava več podjetij do 26. junija 2008 predložiti načrte za prestrukturiranje.
The Commission subsequently met, at the request of the Polish authorities and in their presence, two potential investors who had expressed an interest in purchasing SSN: the Norwegian company Ulstein and the Polish company Mostostal Chojnice.
Komisija se je nato na zahtevo poljskih organov in v njihovi prisotnosti sestala z dvema potencialnima investitorjema, ki sta izrazila željo po nakupu SSN: z norveškim podjetjem Ulstein in poljskim podjetjem Mostostal Chojnice.
At these meetings both companies presented their restructuring strategies to the Commission.
Na teh sestankih sta podjetji Komisiji predstavili strategije za prestrukturiranje.
