The Commission therefore considers that these assets are leased at market terms.
Tako Komisija ugotavlja, da so ta osnovna sredstva najeta pod tržnimi pogoji.
The Commission, however, considers that the GmbH, which took over the running of the wineries and received the current assets and movable operating fixed assets of the Landesbetrieb (see recital 28), benefited from the measures before 31 December 2002 and therefore also has to be considered as a beneficiary of the past aid.
Po mnenju Komisije pa je GmbH, ki je prevzela nadaljnje vodenje vinarske dejavnosti ter prejela gibljiva sredstva in za poslovanje potrebne premičnine družbe Landesbetrieb (glej recital 29), z ukrepi pred 31. decembrom 2002 dobila prednost in jo je zato tudi mogoče šteti za upravičenko preteklih pomoči.
The doubts which prompted the Commission to initiate the procedure and the preliminary findings presented in the decision to initiate the procedure have therefore been confirmed.
Dvom, zaradi katerega je Komisija sprožila postopek, in predhodne ugotovitve, navedene v odločitvi o sprožitvi postopka, so bili s tem potrjeni.
The investigation confirmed the Commission’s doubts that, by injecting an initial EUR 1 million and then another EUR 1,225 million into the GmbH, the Land Hessen did not act like a market economy investor.
Preiskava je potrdila domnevo Komisije, da dežela Hessen s kapitalskimi vložki v GmbH v vrednosti 1 milijon EUR in nato dodatnih 1,225 milijona EUR ni delovala kot vlagateljica v tržnem gospodarstvu.
According to the German authorities, the capital was provided at market conditions because the anticipated rates of return were in line with or even above the industry average, as attested by the Hoffmann report, while the business plan of the GmbH was, according to KPMG, based on a conservative planning approach.
Po navedbah Nemčije so bila sredstva dana na razpolago pod tržnimi pogoji, ker so pričakovani donosi – kot je potrjeno s Hoffmannovim mnenjem - ustrezali povprečnemu donosu v panogi oziroma so bili celo preseženi, medtem ko KPMG meni, da je poslovni načrt temeljil na konservativnem pristopu načrtovanja.
The Commission notes that any such assessment would relate to the restructuring as a whole, since the reference benchmark used by the German authorities was the return on equity and the GmbH’s equity reflected all the restructuring measures taken (i.e. not only the cash capital injections but also the asset contribution and the debt write-off).
Komisija je ugotovila, da bi se taka ocena nanašala na celotno prestrukturiranje, ker je Nemčija donosnost lastniškega kapitala uporabila za primerjavo in lastniški kapital GmbH odraža vse sprejete ukrepe prestrukturiranja (to pomeni ne samo kapitalskih vložkov, ampak tudi prispevanje sredstev in odpis dolga).
The interested party (see recital 54) claims in its comments that the Land Hessen did not act like a market economy investor in the phase leading up to the financing of the new wine cellar.
Zainteresirana stranka v svoji opombi (glej recital 54) navaja, da dežela Hessen pred financiranjem nove vinske kleti ni delovala kot vlagateljica v tržnem gospodarstvu.
The comments refer (among other things) to the composition of the supervisory board of the GmbH, the failure to consider other loss-making vineyards for comparison purposes, and the fact that the capital injections were provided without the requirement of remuneration.
V pripombi je med drugim opozorjeno na sestavo nadzornega sveta GmbH, neupoštevanje drugih nedonosnih vinogradov pri primerjavi in dejstvo, da so bila sredstva odobrena brez zahtev glede donosa.
The interested party furthermore criticises alleged weaknesses in the business plan, claiming that it is too unstable and does not allow for enough fluctuations.
Poleg tega je zainteresirana stranka očitala domnevne pomanjkljivosti poslovnega načrta in navedla, da je načrt preveč nestabilen in da v njem niso dovolj upoštevana morebitna nihanja.
The German authorities in their comments (see recital 63) contest the points raised by the interested party as being factually incorrect and legally irrelevant.
Nemčija v svoji pripombi (glej recital 63) zavrača navedene trditve zainteresirane stranke kot stvarno napačne in pravno neupoštevne.
The Commission considers that the comments made by the German authorities allay the doubts raised by the interested party and that the business plan is well founded.
Komisija meni, da so podani pomisleki zainteresirane stranke odpravljeni z ugotovitvami Nemčije in da je poslovni načrt utemeljen.
It also shares the position of the German authorities, according to which other comparable, profitable vineyards should be used as a benchmark for the purpose of the market economy investor test (see recital 64).
Poleg tega se Komisija strinja s stališčem Nemčije, po katerem bi bilo treba za merilo vlagateljice v tržnem gospodarstvu uporabiti druge primerljive, donosne vinograde kot primerjalno merilo (glej recital 64).
The Commission therefore notes that the restructuring measures taken by the Land Hessen in favour of the GmbH (asset contribution, debt write-off and two capital injections) could, on a stand-alone basis, be regarded as acceptable to an investor operating under normal market conditions.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da bi bilo mogoče ukrepe dežele Hessen v prid prestrukturiranja GmbH (prispevanje sredstev, odpis dolgov in dva kapitalska vložka) kot take šteti za ukrepe, sprejemljive za vlagatelja, ki deluje pod običajnimi tržnimi pogoji.
It does however consider that the capital injections have to be assessed in the context of all the measures taken including the loss coverage for losses resulting from before 31 December 2002, when the wine business had been managed as an integral part of the Land, as the GmbH took over the running of the wine business and to a certain extent, must also be regarded as a beneficiary of this past aid (see recital 82).
Vendar meni, da je treba oceniti kapitalske vložke ob upoštevanju vseh sprejetih ukrepov, vključno s kritjem izgub, nastalih pred 31. decembrom 2002, ko je bila vinarska dejavnost vodena kot sestavni del splošne uprave dežele Hessen, ker je GmbH prevzela nadaljnje vodenje te vinarske dejavnosti in jo je mogoče do neke stopnje šteti tudi za upravičenko te pretekle pomoči (glej recital 83) [12].
The Commission considers that the debt write-off of EUR 1,792 million in particular, which concerned liabilities accrued by the Landesbetrieb vis-à-vis the Land from the past operations, had the same purpose as the occasional coverage of deficits before 31 December 2002 and can be considered as retroactively subsidising the past operation.
Komisija meni, da je predvsem odpis dolgov v višini 1792000 EUR, ki se je nanašal na obveznosti, ki si jih je nakopičila družba Landesbetrieb do dežele Hessen iz pretekle dejavnosti, služil enakemu namenu kot občasno pokrivanje primanjkljajev pred 31 decembrom 2002. Zato ga je mogoče šteti za naknadno subvencioniranje pretekle dejavnosti.
As regards the equity financing of the new wine cellar, the investigation confirmed the Commission’s doubts that in view of its previous investments, in granting the shareholder loan to Hessische Staatsweingüter GmbH, the Land Hessen did not act like a private sector investor.
V zvezi s financiranjem nove vinske kleti z lastniškim kapitalom je preiskava potrdila domnevo Komisije, da dežela Hessen pri dodelitvi posojila Partiarisches Darlehen družbi Hessische Staatsweingüter GmbH ob upoštevanju prejšnjih naložb ni delovala kot vlagateljica v tržnem gospodarstvu.
The comments made by the interested party on the alleged weaknesses of the business plan also concerned the financing of the new wine cellar.
Trditve zainteresirane stranke o domnevnih pomanjkljivostih poslovnega načrta se nanašajo tudi na financiranje nove vinske kleti.
These comments were contested in the comments received from Germany (see recitals 58 and 68).
Te trditve so bile v pripombi Nemčije zavrnjene (glej recitala 58 in 68).
The Commission considers that the doubts raised by the interested party with regard to the financing of the new wine cellar were likewise allayed by the comments from Germany and that the business plan is well-founded (see recital 91), since it allows for the necessary fluctuations in quantity and quality of harvests as well as for shrinkage and includes all required cost items (see recitals 68 and 69).
V zvezi s financiranjem nove vinske kleti Komisija prav tako meni, da so bili pomisleki, ki jih je predložila zainteresirana stranka, odpravljeni s trditvami Nemčije in da je poslovni načrt utemeljen (glej recital 91), ker je bila v njem upoštevana možnost nihanj donosa in kakovosti ter kala in ker zajema vse potrebne stroškovne elemente (glej recitala 68 in 69).
Furthermore, the business plan was examined by KPMG and classed as very conservative (see recital 38).
Poleg tega je KPMG preverila poslovni načrt in ga označila kot zelo konservativnega (glej recital 38).
The interested party furthermore comments on the fact that the equity contribution from the Land Hessen to the financing of the new wine cellar was converted into a shareholder loan only after contacts with the Commission.
Nadalje se zainteresirana stranka izreka o dejstvu, da je bil kapitalski vložek dežele Hessen za financiranje nove vinske kleti spremenjen v posojilo Partiarisches Darlehen šele po stikih s Komisijo.
It further claims that capital expenditure related to the administration and the wine shop of Hessische Staatsweingüter is not reflected in the business plan.
Poleg tega po njenih podatkih v poslovnem načrtu niso zajeti stroški v zvezi z upravo in vinoteko družbe Hessische Staatsweingüter.
The German authorities in their comments state that the payments already made in connection with the new wine cellar were fully incorporated into the shareholder loan and retroactively made subject to the same conditions (see recital 67).
Nemčija v pripombi navaja, da so bila vsa že izvedena plačila v zvezi z novo vinsko kletjo vključena v posojilo Partiarisches Darlehen in s povratno veljavnostjo podvržena pogojem, ki veljajo za to posojilo (glej recital 67).
They furthermore clarify that the business plan fully allows for the expenses in connection with the premises to be rented in Kloster Eberbach for the administration and the wine shop of Hessische Staatsweingüter (see recital 67).
Poleg tega pojasnjuje, da so izdatki za prostore, najete v samostanu Eberbach za nastanitev uprave in vinoteke družbe Hessische Staatsweingüter, v poslovnem načrtu v celoti upoštevani (glej recital 69).
The Commission therefore considers that the doubts raised by the interested party could be allayed by the clarifications provided by the German authorities.
Komisija zato meni, da je bilo mogoče predložene pomisleke zainteresirane stranke odpraviti s pojasnili Nemčije.
The shareholder loan is based on a yearly fixed return of 3,7 % and will be included in the yearly profit of the GmbH (see recitals 41 to 44 for a detailed description of financing conditions).
Posojilo Partiarisches Darlehen temelji na 3,7-odstotni letni fiksni obrestni meri in je upoštevano v deležu dobička (za natančen opis pogojev za financiranje glej recitale 41 do 44).
The Commission considers that these conditions are acceptable market conditions for this type of investment.
Po mnenju Komisije so ti pogoji sprejemljivi tržni pogoji za to vrsto naložbe.
The Commission furthermore takes note of the fact that the remaining part of the investment will be provided by a bank loan at market conditions, which is an indicator of the company’s viability.
Poleg tega Komisija ugotavlja, da je preostalo financiranje izvedeno z bančnim posojilom pod tržnimi pogoji, kar je kazalnik za sposobnost ekonomskega preživetja podjetja.
The Commission therefore upholds the conclusion set out in its letter of 20 December 2006 (K(2006) 6605 endg.) that on a stand-alone basis, the shareholder loan could be considered as being granted at conditions acceptable to a market economy investor and that it therefore would not confer an advantage on the GmbH.
Komisija zato v svojem dopisu z dne 20. decembra 2006 (C(2006) 6605 konč.) vztraja pri obrazloženem sklepu, da bi bilo mogoče posojilo Partiarisches Darlehen kot tako šteti za odobreno pod pogoji, ki so sprejemljivi za vlagateljico v tržnem gospodarstvu, in kot tako ne bi zagotavljalo prednosti družbi GmbH.
It however considers that the financing of the new wine cellar cannot reasonably be separated from the aid previously received by the GmbH.
Vendar meni, da financiranja nove vinske kleti ni mogoče ustrezno ločiti od preteklih pomoči, ki jih je prejela GmbH.
The new wine cellar was an integral part of the restructuring plan and has to be regarded as a further measure in the restructuring process (i.e. following the debt write-off and the two capital injections).
Nova vinska klet je bila je bila sestavni del načrta prestrukturiranja in jo je treba šteti za nadaljnji ukrep v postopku prestrukturiranja (neposredno po odpisu dolgov in obeh kapitalskih vložkih).
Moreover the current economic and financial situation of the GmbH, which allows it to obtain a commercial bank loan for the partial financing of the wine cellar, reflects the restructuring measures taken by the Land Hessen in favour of the GmbH and therefore has to be assessed in this context.
Poleg tega iz ukrepov prestrukturiranja, ki jih je sprejela dežela Hessen v prid GmbH, izhaja sedanji gospodarski in finančni položaj GmbH, ki ji omogoča, da za delno financiranje vinske kleti prejme posojilo poslovne banke, in ga je zato treba presojati ob upoštevanju tega ozadja.
The Commission therefore concludes that the Land Hessen, in providing the equity financing for the new wine cellar amounting to EUR 7,5 million in the form of a shareholder loan and subject to those conditions, is not acting like a market economy investor in the context of the restructuring measures previously granted and that this shareholder loan therefore constitutes aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da dežela Hessen pri financiranju nove vinske kleti z lastniškim kapitalom v višini 7,5 milijona EUR, ki je bilo odobreno kot posojilo Partiarisches Darlehen pod njegovimi pogoji, ob upoštevanju preteklih odobrenih ukrepov prestrukturiranja ne deluje kot vlagateljica v tržnem gospodarstvu in da je to posojilo Partiarisches Darlehen torej pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
The ban on State aid in Article 87(1) does not exclude that some categories of aid can be declared compatible with the common market on the basis of exceptions provided for in paragraphs 2 and 3 of that Article.
Prepoved državne pomoči v skladu s členom 87(1) ne izključuje, da je mogoče nekatere vrste pomoči, na podlagi izjem, določenih v odstavkih (2) in (3) istega člena, šteti za združljive s skupnim trgom.
The measures in question cannot claim to have a social character or be intended to make good the damage caused by natural disasters, such that Article 87(2)(a) or (b) of the EC Treaty could be invoked.
Za sklicevanje na člen 87(2)(a) ali (b) Pogodbe ES ni mogoče trditi, da so zadevni ukrepi socialni ali da so namenjeni odpravljanju škode, ki je nastala zaradi naravnih nesreč.
Likewise, the measures do not seem to be designed to promote the economic development of areas where the standard of living is abnormally low, or to promote either the execution of an important project of common European interest or cultural and heritage conservation.
Prav tako ukrepi očitno niso namenjeni za pospeševanje gospodarskega razvoja območij z izredno nizko življenjsko ravnjo, pomembnih projektov v skupnem evropskem interesu ali kulture oziroma ohranjanja kulturne dediščine.
Hence, the exceptions under Article 87(3)(a), (b) and (d) of the EC Treaty are not applicable in this case.
Zato izjem, določenih v točkah (a), (b) in (d) člena 87(3) Pogodbe ES, v tem primeru ni mogoče uporabiti.
In application of the derogations in Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty, the Commission may consider aid to be compatible with the common market if it is found to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Pri uporabi izjem v skladu s členom 87(3)(c) Pogodbe ES lahko Komisija pomoč šteje za združljivo s skupnim trgom, če pospešuje razvoj določenih gospodarskih dejavnosti ali gospodarskih območij, kadar takšna pomoč ne spreminja trgovinskih pogojev v obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju s skupnimi interesi.
Pursuant to paragraph 15 of the Community Guidelines for State aid in the Agriculture and Forestry Sector 2007 to 2013 [12], aid measures must contain some incentive element or require some counterpart on the part of the beneficiary in order to be compatible with the common market.
V skladu z uvodno izjavo 15 Smernice Skupnosti o državni pomoči v kmetijskem in gozdarskem sektorju 2007–2013 [13] morajo pomoči, da jih je mogoče šteti za združljive s skupnim trgom, vsebovati spodbujevalno prvino ali od upravičenca zahtevati protistoritev.
Unilateral State aid measures which are simply intended to improve the financial situation of a producer but which in no way contribute to the development of the sector are considered to constitute operating aids which are incompatible with the common market.
Enostranske državne pomoči, ki so namenjene le izboljšanju finančnega položaja pridelovalcev, ne da bi kakor koli prispevale k razvoju sektorja, spadajo med pomoči za tekoče poslovanje, ki niso združljive s skupnim trgom.
The Commission observes that it is not clear that in the period before 2003 Hessische Staatsweingüter could have been regarded as a company in difficulty.
Kot ugotavlja Komisija, ni očitno, da bi bilo mogoče družbo Hessische Staatsweingüter pred letom 2003 šteti za podjetje v težavah.
It is true that the amount of EUR 541859 it received from the Land in the period 1995 to 2002 constitutes operating aid as indicated above.
Res je, da je znesek 541859 EUR, ki ga je družba Hessische Staatsweingüter od leta 1995 do leta 2002 prejela od dežele Hessen, pomoč za tekoče poslovanje.
However, this does not necessarily mean that Hessian State Wineries Hessische Staatsweingüter must have been a company in difficulty unable to obtain additional financing at market conditions.
To pa vsekakor ne pomeni nujno, da je bila družba Hessische Staatsweingüter podjetje v težavah, ki ne bi bilo sposobno najeti dodatnih denarnih sredstev pod tržnimi pogoji.
Moreover, the occasional loss coverage was ad hoc measures, not based on a restructuring plan.
Poleg tega so bili ukrepi za občasno pokrivanje primanjkljajev priložnostni ukrepi, ki niso temeljili na načrtu prestrukturiranja.
These measures were taken long before the restructuring decision was taken.
Ti ukrepi so bili izvedeni veliko pred odločitvijo o prestrukturiranju.
The last coverage of a loss which was included in the EUR 541859 was in 1999 (see recital 21), whereas preparations for restructuring did not start until 2001, a restructuring plan was elaborated only as of June 2002 and the official restructuring decision was taken on 10 December 2002 (see the description of the restructuring in recitals 23 to 38, and recital 28 in particular).
Zadnje pokritje primanjkljaja, ki je zajeto v znesku 541859 EUR, je bilo v letu 1999 (glej recital 21), medtem ko so se priprave za prestrukturiranje začele šele leta 2001, izdelava načrta prestrukturiranja šele junija 2002, uradna odločba o prestrukturiranju pa je bila sprejeta 10. decembra 2002 (glej opis prestrukturiranja v recitalih 23 do 38 in predvsem recital 28).
Therefore the coverage of deficits cannot be regarded as part of the restructuring process which effectively started on 31 December 2002.
Zato pokritja primanjkljajev ni mogoče šteti za del postopka prestrukturiranja, ki se je dejansko začel 31. decembra 2002.
Neither was this aid linked to investment, training, job creation or any counterpart required from the beneficiary.
Tudi ta pomoč ni bila povezana z naložbami, izobraževanjem, ustvarjanjem delovnih mest ali zahtevano protistoritvijo upravičenke.
The aid was simply intended to strengthen the financial position of the beneficiary.
Namen pomoči je bil zgolj okrepitev finančnega položaja upravičenke.
The Commission therefore considers that this aid constitutes operating aid, which is incompatible with the common market.
Komisija zato meni, da je ta pomoč pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, ki ni združljiva s skupnim trgom.
The Commission regrets that Germany did not notify the aid pursuant to Article 88(3) of the EC Treaty but implemented it unlawfully.
Komisija obžaluje, da Nemčija te pomoči ni priglasila v skladu s členom 88(3) Pogodbe ES, ampak jo je uporabila nezakonito.
Restructuring of the wine business of the Land Hessen and equity financing of the new wine cellar
Prestrukturiranje vinarske dejavnosti dežele Hessen in financiranje nove vinske kleti z lastniškim kapitalom
Since it was found that the equity financing of the new wine cellar in the light of the restructuring measures previously granted constitutes aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty (see recital 103), it is hereafter assessed as part of the restructuring measures.
Ker je bilo ugotovljeno, da je financiranje nove vinske kleti z lastniškim kapitalom ob upoštevanju preteklih odobrenih ukrepov prestrukturiranja pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES (glej recital 103), se ta pomoč v nadaljevanju presoja kot del ukrepov prestrukturiranja.
Aid for restructuring companies in difficulty must normally be examined on the basis of the 2004 Community Guidelines on State aid for Rescuing and Restructuring Firms in Difficulty [13].
Pomoč za prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah je treba običajno proučiti na podlagi Smernic Skupnosti iz leta 2004 o državni pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah [14].
However, pursuant to paragraphs 103 and 104 of the guidelines, the Commission assesses aid notified prior to 10 October 2004 as well as non-notified rescue and restructuring aid on the basis of the guidelines in force at the time of notification and at the time the aid was granted, as the case may be.
Komisija v skladu z recitaloma 103 in 104 teh smernic kljub temu prouči pomoči, priglašene pred 10. oktobrom 2004, in nepriglašene pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah po smernicah, ki so se uporabljale v času priglasitve oziroma dodelitve pomoči.
The restructuring measures for the GmbH to be established were formally decided by cabinet decision of 10 December 2002 (see recitals 28 to 33).
S sklepom vlade z dne 10. decembra 2002 so bili uradno sprejeti ukrepi prestrukturiranja v prid GmbH v ustanavljanju (glej recitale 28 do 33).
This should hence be regarded as the time of the granting of the aid.
Ta datum je treba torej obravnavati kot datum dodelitve pomoči.
At that time the 1999 Community Guidelines on State aid for Rescuing and Restructuring Firms in Difficulty [14] (hereinafter: ‘Restructuring Guidelines’) were in force.
Takrat so se uporabljale Smernice Skupnosti o državni pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah iz leta 1999 [15] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Smernice o prestrukturiranju).
Chapter 3.2 of these Guidelines sets out the provisions specific to restructuring aid.
V poglavju 3.2 teh smernic so navedene posebne določbe o pomoči za prestrukturiranje.
Eligibility for financing
Upravičenost
Paragraph 30 of the Restructuring Guidelines stipulates that the firm must qualify as a firm in difficulty in order to be eligible for restructuring aid.
V skladu z recitalom 30 Smernic o prestrukturiranju je treba podjetje obravnavati kot podjetje v težavah, da bi bilo upravičeno do pomoči za prestrukturiranje.
