That report concluded that a commercial court hearing that case would very probably hold that the State was liable in that respect and would order it to pay SNCM’s social debts in their entirety.
V tem poročilu je ugotovljeno, da bi trgovinsko sodišče, ki bi obravnavalo to zadevo, zelo verjetno ugotovilo odgovornost države v zvezi s tem in ji naložilo, naj prevzame vse dolgove za socialne prispevke družbe SNCM.
In the present case, the Commission is of the view that, in the light of the SNCM’s stated asset shortfall (see above) and having regard to the possible civil liability arising on the part of the authorised liquidator in the event of failure to act under the law of 1985 and the creditors’ entitlement to bring an action since 2005, it is very likely that an action ‘en comblement de passif’ would be brought against the French State in the event of a liquidation of SNCM by the court.
V obravnavanem primeru Komisija meni, da bi bila glede na nezadostnost sredstev, ugotovljeno pri družbi SNCM (glej zgoraj), in ob upoštevanju mogočega uveljavljanja civilne odgovornosti likvidacijskega upravitelja v primeru neukrepanja na podlagi zakona iz leta 1985 in pravice upnikov do tožbe od leta 2005 tožba za plačilo dolgov zelo verjetno vložena zoper francosko državo v primeru sodne likvidacije družbe SNCM.
The relevant legislation provides that the social debts of the company in liquidation may be made chargeable to its former directors at law or in fact, subject to the cumulative fulfilment of four conditions.
V zadevni nacionalni zakonodaji je določeno, da se lahko dolgovi za socialne prispevke družbe v likvidaciji prenesejo v breme njenih nekdanjih pravnih ali dejanskih upraviteljev, če so izpolnjeni štirje pogoji.
Acknowledgment of the State as director at law or in fact of the undertaking in compulsory liquidation
Spoznanje države kot pravnega ali dejanskega upravitelja podjetja v sodni likvidaciji
In the present case, the Commission notes that SNCM’s expert provided a detailed analysis leading to the conclusion that it is very likely that the French State would be described as de facto manager of SNCM.
V obravnavanem primeru Komisija navaja, da je strokovnjak družbe SNCM predložil podrobno analizo, ki vodi do ugotovitve, da bi bila francoska država zelo verjetno opredeljena kot dejanski upravitelj družbe SNCM.
Essentially, the aforesaid expert’s report showed, in accordance with the relevant case-law, that the State had carried out actual acts as manager and director which did not manifestly fall within the administrative supervision required by law, and had done so over a long period.
V zgoraj navedenem izvedenskem poročilu je bilo v skladu z upoštevno sodno prakso pravzaprav dokazano, da je država izvajala pozitivna dejanja upravljanja in vodenja, ki očitno ne spadajo pod upravni nadzor, uveden z zakonom, in to v daljšem obdobju.
In particular, according to SNCM’s expert report, the State took decisions under its powers of supervision which it had itself set up, thereby misusing its powers of supervision to take decisions on behalf of the undertaking instead of the directors to whom the power to take those decisions falls.
Država naj bi v skladu s poročilom strokovnjaka družbe SNCM zlasti sprejemala odločitve v okviru nadzornih pooblastil, ki jih je uvedla sama, in tako zlorabila svoja nadzorna pooblastila za sprejemanje odločitev za račun podjetja namesto upraviteljev, ki so bili pooblaščeni za sprejemanje navedenih odločitev.
Moreover, it appears that SNCM’s management bodies did not in fact have any independence from the State in the management of the undertaking.
Poleg tega naj bi bilo očitno, da vodstveni organi družbe SNCM niso imeli nikakršne neodvisnosti glede na državo pri upravljanju podjetja.
Finally, the State assumed the role of SNCM’s management bodies by taking strategic decisions alone without informing those directors.
Nazadnje naj bi država nadomestila vodstvene organe družbe SNCM, ko je sama sprejemala strateške odločitve, ne da bi o tem obvestila navedene vodje.
The Commission notes that the French authorities, in their records of 28 March 2008, did not have any reservations concerning the categorisation of the French State as de facto manager of SNCM.
Komisija ugotavlja, da francoski organi v svojih spisih z dne 28. marca 2008 niso izrazili zadržkov glede opredelitve francoske države kot dejanskega upravitelja družbe SNCM.
In their letter of 20 November 2006, the French authorities themselves state that the court would certainly categorise SNCM’s State shareholder as de facto director of the undertaking.
Francoski organi v dopisu z dne 20. novembra 2006 sami navajajo, da bi sodišče državo delničarko družbe SNCM opredelilo kot dejanskega upravitelja podjetja.
However, it is clear that such a declaration, made in proceedings concerning State aid, cannot in itself suffice to prove satisfactorily that a court considered the national authorities as de facto directors of the undertaking which received the measures in question and, above all, the degree of probability of such an eventuality.
Vendar je očitno, da taka izjava, dana v okviru postopka o državnih pomočeh, sama ne more zadostovati, da bi pravno zadostno dokazala, ali bi sodišče nacionalne organe štelo za dejanske upravitelje podjetja, ki je bilo deležno zadevnih ukrepov, in zlasti stopnjo verjetnosti take možnosti.
In the circumstances of this case, there is no need for the Commission to take any further view on the assessment of the evidence relied on by the French authorities, having regard to the conclusion reached by the Commission in section 10.2.2.1 above.
V okoliščinah tega primera se Komisiji ni treba več opredeliti o analizi elementov, ki so jih navedli francoski organi glede na ugotovitev Komisije v oddelku 10.2.2.1 zgoraj.
The existence of one or more acts of mismanagement by the French State, de facto managing the undertaking in compulsory liquidation
Obstoj ene ali več napak francoske države, dejanskega upravitelja podjetja v sodni likvidaciji, pri upravljanju
In the present case, the Commission notes that SNCM’s expert report referred, on the basis of a non-exhaustive list of facts, to a series of factors to show that the State mismanaged SNCM when acting as its de facto manager.
V obravnavanem primeru Komisija poudarja, da je bil v poročilu strokovnjaka družbe SNCM na podlagi neizčrpnega seznama dejanskih elementov naveden niz elementov, da bi dokazali, da je država kot dejanski upravitelj družbe SNCM storila napake pri upravljanju.
In particular, it is stated that the French State made errors relating to investments […] The State also committed numerous errors of management with regard to […].
Navedeno je zlasti, da naj bi francoska država storila napake na področju naložb […]. Država naj bi storila tudi številne napake pri upravljanju na področju […].
In that respect, […] In their letter of 30 April 2007, the French authorities described the risk of an order for damages against the State as very high, having regard to the […] criteria of categorisation of mismanagement as provided for in Article L.651-2 of the Commercial Code.
V zvezi s tem […]. Francoski organi so v dopisu z dne 30. aprila 2007 tveganje, da bo država obsojena na podlagi odgovornosti, ocenili kot zelo visoko ob upoštevanju meril […] opredelitve napake pri upravljanju v smislu člena L 651-2 trgovinskega zakonika.
However, it is clear that such a declaration, made in proceedings concerning State aid, cannot in itself suffice to prove satisfactorily that a court would have considered that the national authorities carried out the acts of mismanagement alleged and, above all, the degree of probability of such an eventuality.
Vendar je očitno, da taka izjava, dana v okviru postopka o državnih pomočeh, sama ne more zadostovati, da bi pravno zadostno dokazala, ali bi sodišče za nacionalne organe štelo, da so storili zatrjevane napake, in zlasti stopnjo verjetnosti te možnosti.
In the present case, the Commission states that, in its letter of 16 November 2006, the French authorities provided a valuation of SNCM’s shortfall in assets on the basis of the expert’s reports of CGMF and Oddo-Hastings cited above.
V obravnavanem primeru Komisija ugotavlja, da so francoski organi v dopisu z dne 16. novembra 2006 predložili oceno nezadostnosti sredstev družbe SNCM na podlagi zgoraj navedenih izvedenskih poročil družb CGMF in Oddo-Hastings.
The Commission notes that SNCM’s expert’s report on the action ‘en comblement de passif’ sent to the Commission in February 2008 takes as a basis those same reports to find that there is a asset shortfall in the event of the compulsory liquidation of the company.
Komisija opozarja, da izvedensko mnenje družbe SNCM o tožbi za plačilo dolgov, poslano Komisiji februarja 2008, temelji na istih poročilih in ugotavlja obstoj nezadostnosti sredstev v primeru sodne likvidacije podjetja.
In particular, the Oddo-Hastings report points up an asset shortfall of EUR […] million at 30 September 2005, calculated as the difference between the value of SNCM’s assets (EUR […] million) and the value of the undertaking’s liabilities (preferential and non-preferential debts valued respectively at EUR […] million and EUR […] million.).
V poročilu družbe Oddo-Hastings je navedena zlasti nezadostnost sredstev v višini […] milijonov EUR na dan 30. septembra 2005, izračunana kot razlika med po eni strani vrednostjo sredstev družbe SNCM ([…] milijonov EUR) in po drugi strani vrednostjo obveznosti podjetja (privilegirani in neprivilegirani dolgovi, ocenjeni na […] milijonov EUR oziroma […] milijonov EUR).
The Commission notes that, under the French legislation cited above, there is a shortfall in assets where the authorised liquidator of the company does not have sufficient assets at its disposal to pay off the creditors, whether or not they are preferential.
Komisija poudarja, da se na podlagi zgoraj navedene francoske zakonodaje nezadostnost sredstev ugotovi, ali likvidacijski upravitelj družbe nima na voljo zadostnih sredstev za poplačilo upnikov, naj bodo ti privilegirani ali neprivilegirani.
In respect, in particular, of the social debts of the undertaking, the social liabilities of the company consist, at a minimum, of classic salary payables, that is to say those which originate directly in employment contracts, collective agreements or the law and are automatically entered by the authorised liquidator in the liabilities of the undertaking.
Kar zadeva zlasti terjatve za socialne prispevke podjetja, so dolgovi za socialne prispevke podjetja a minima sestavljeni iz klasičnih terjatev iz plač, to je terjatev, ki izvirajo neposredno iz pogodbe iz zaposlitve, kolektivne pogodbe ali zakonodaje in jih likvidacijski upravitelj samodejno vpiše med obveznosti podjetja.
The Commission previously estimated the shortfall in assets of SNCM at EUR […] million at 30 September 2005.
Komisija je predhodno nezadostnost sredstev družbe SNCM ocenila na […] milijonov EUR na dan 30. septembra 2005.
The existence of a causal link between the mismismanagement and the state shortfall in assets
Obstoj vzročne zveze med napakami in ugotovljeno nezadostnostjo sredstev
According to the French authorities, under French law, the applicant for an action ‘en comblement de passif’ does not have to determine the amount of the increase in liabilities caused by the director’s mismanagement.
Kot navajajo francoski organi, v skladu s francoskim pravom tožeči stranki v tožbi za plačilo dolgov ni treba določiti zneska povečanja obveznosti, nastalega zaradi upraviteljeve napake pri upravljanju.
The director of a natural person may be declared liable, on the basis of Article L.624-3 of the Commercial Code, even if his act of mismanagement is only one of the causes of the shortfall in assets and may be ordered to bear in whole or in part the social debts, even if his mismanagement is the cause of only a part of them.
Upravitelj pravne osebe se lahko na podlagi člena L.624-3 trgovinskega zakonika razglasi za odgovornega, čeprav je napaka pri upravljanju, ki jo je storil, samo eden od vzrokov za nezadostnost sredstev, in se mu lahko naloži, da v celoti ali delno krije dolgove za socialno varnost, čeprav je njegova napaka vzrok samo za del teh dolgov.
In this case, the Commission notes that SNCM’s expert refers to the link between the mismanagement and the stated asset shortfall as obvious.
V obravnavanem primeru Komisija opozarja, da je strokovnjak družbe SNCM povezavo med napakami pri upravljanju in ugotovljeno nezadostnostjo sredstev označil za očitno.
On the basis of the estimates submitted by that expert, the financial loss resulting from the non-exhaustive list of the State’s acts of mismanagement stated in recital 322 of this decision amounts to EUR […] million.
Na podlagi analiz, ki jih je predložil navedeni strokovnjak, naj bi bila finančna škoda, ki izhaja iz neizčrpnega seznama napak države pri upravljanju, navedenih v točki 322 te odločbe, […] milijonov EUR.
The French authorities […].
Francoski organi […].
Moreover, the Commission notes that the French authorities, in their records of 16 November 2006, 27 April 2007 and 28 March 2008 […].
Poleg tega Komisija ugotavlja, da francoski organi v svojih spisih z dne 16. novembra 2006, 27. aprila 2007 in 28. marca 2008 […]. Francoski organi […].
The French authorities […] The French authorities have themselves acknowledged, in their letter of 16 November 2005, that ‘it is clear that the State shareholder, which the court would certainly refer to as the de facto director of SNCM, limited liability company, would probably be ordered pursuant to Article L.615-2 to bear the shortfall in SNCM’s assets in its entirety’.
Francoski organi so v dopisu z dne 16. novembra 2005 sami priznali, da „je jasno, da bi bilo državi delničarki, ki bi jo sodišče zanesljivo opredelilo kot dejanskega upravitelja SNCM, družbe z omejeno odgovornostjo, na podlagi člena L.651-2 trgovinskega zakonika verjetno naloženo, naj krije celotno nezadostnost sredstev družbe SNCM“.
The estimate of the total cost of the compulsory liquidation of SNCM
Ocena skupnega stroška sodne likvidacije družbe SNCM
Determination of the proportion of the shortfall in assets chargeable to the de facto director
Določitev dela nezadostnosti sredstev v breme dejanskega upravitelja
In the light of the foregoing, as the file currently stands, the Commission does not have to determine the actual economic cost of the shareholder’s liability.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno Komisiji v tem stanju zadeve ni treba določiti realnega ekonomskega stroška uveljavljanja odgovornosti delničarja.
In that respect, the Commission notes that, on the basis of Article L.624-3 of the Commercial Code, the director at law or in fact of the company in liquidation is ordered, in such circumstances, to pay all or part of the shortfall in assets established.
V zvezi s tem Komisija poudarja, da je na podlagi člena L 624-3 trgovinskega zakonika pravnemu ali dejanskemu upravitelju družbe v likvidaciji v takih okoliščinah naloženo, naj plača celotno ugotovljeno nezadostnost sredstev ali del te.
The Commission notes that the aforesaid article leaves the courts entirely at liberty to assess if there is any need to order the director to bear the social debts in whole or in part.
Komisija ugotavlja, da imajo na podlagi zgoraj navedenega člena sodišča popolno svobodo pri presoji, ali je treba upravitelju naložiti, naj nosi vse dolgove za socialno varnost ali del teh dolgov.
In the light of the relevant case-law, it appears that the courts take into account the conduct of the director against whom proceedings are brought and adjust orders according to the facts proven.
Glede na upoštevno sodno prakso je očitno, da so sodišča in sodišča prve stopnje dovzetna za ravnanje obravnavanega upravitelja in svoje obsodbe izdelajo na podlagi ugotovitev, ki jih lahko dokažejo.
As stated above, the French authorities consider that the French State would be called upon to bear a proportion estimated between […] % and […] % of the established shortfall in assets, that is, a range between EUR […] million and EUR […] million.
Kot je bilo navedeno zgoraj, francoski organi menijo, da bi bila francoska država primorana nositi del, ocenjen med […] in […] % ugotovljene nezadostnosti sredstev, kar je med […] milijonov EUR in […] milijonov EUR.
The Commission states that, in a situation similar to SNCM’s relating to the company Les Mines de Salsignes, a sub-branch of BRGM (public company of an industrial and commercial nature), the commercial division of the Court of Cassation ordered BGRM and its subsidiaries, as de facto directors, to pay the entirety of the shortfall in assets jointly and severally with the other directors of the company Les Mines de Salsignes.
Komisija poudarja, da je gospodarski senat kasacijskega sodišča v podobnih okoliščinah, kot pri primeru SNCM, ki so se nanašale na družbo Les Mines de Salsignes, družbo vnukinjo BRGM (javna industrijska in trgovinska ustanova), obsodil BRGM in njene hčerinske družbe v funkciji dejanskega upravitelja solidarno z drugimi upravitelji družbe Les Mines de Salsignes na plačilo celotne nezadostnosti sredstev.
The portion of the social debts chargeable to the company Coframines and BGRM and therefore, ultimately, to the State, was 73,6 %.
Delež dolgov za socialno varnost v breme družbe Coframines, ustanove BRGM in torej in fine države je znašal 73,6 %.
As set out in that decision, the Court of Cassation noted that the management board was a dependent of the two bodies under consideration.
V smislu te odločitve je Sodišče poudarilo, da je bil upravni odbor v odvisnosti od zadevnih dveh subjektov.
However, the Commission takes the view that the French authorities have not shown, in the light of the rules on State aid, in what respect the aforesaid acts of mismanagement of the State prejudicial to the undertaking are acts which any other private shareholder in a market economy might have carried out.
Vendar Komisija meni, da francoski organi glede na pravila na področju državnih pomoči niso dokazali, v čem so zgoraj navedene napake države pri upravljanju v škodo podjetju napake, ki bi jih lahko storil kateri koli drug zasebni delničar v tržnem gospodarstvu.
In that regard, it must be stated that only such acts, duly proven, may be taken into account in order to determine whether, having regard to the likelihood of being ordered to bear those costs and to the extent of those costs (that is, the present net value of the likelihood of any such future order), a well-informed private operator would prefer to pay directly a negative price of EUR 158 million rather than run that risk.
V zvezi s tem je treba poudariti, da se lahko samo take napake, ustrezno dokazane, upoštevajo pri ugotovitvi, ali bi se preudaren zasebni gospodarski subjekt glede na tveganje, da mu bo naloženo plačilo teh stroškov in glede na njihov obseg (to je neto sedanja vrednost tveganja prihodnje obsodbe), raje odločil za takojšnje plačilo negativne cene 158 milijonov EUR kot za sprejetje tega tveganja.
The view cannot be taken that a private investor would be led to carry out wrongful acts owing to considerations of a general rather than entrepreneurial nature (for example, for social or regional development purposes).
Ni namreč mogoče šteti, da bi zasebni vlagatelj storil napake, ki ne bi temeljile na podjetniških razmislekih, ampak na splošnih razmislekih (na primer za socialne namene ali namene regionalnega razvoja).
The Commission does not deny that, in certain exceptional cases, there is national legislation which enables third parties to bring proceedings against the shareholders of a liquidated company, in particular if those shareholders may be considered to be directors at law or in fact who have carried out acts of mismanagement prejudicial to the undertaking.
Komisija ne zanika, da je v nekaterih izjemnih primerih v nekaterih nacionalnih zakonodajah predvidena možnost, da se tretje osebe obrnejo proti delničarjem likvidirane družbe, zlasti če se lahko ti delničarji štejejo za pravne ali dejanske upravitelje, ki so zagrešili napake pri upravljanju v škodo podjetja.
However, although such a possibility exists under French law, the Commission considers that the French authorities have not sufficiently dispelled the Commission’s doubts in the present case concerning the arguments relating to the likelihood that, in the event of SNCM’s liquidation, the French State would be ordered to make good that company’s liabilities.
Čeprav taka možnost obstaja v francoskem pravu, Komisija meni, da francoski organi niso zadostno odpravili dvomov Komisije v obravnavanem primeru v zvezi s trditvami, ki se nanašajo na tveganje, da bi bila francoska država v primeru likvidacije družbe SNCM obsojena na plačilo dolgov te družbe.
It is not, however, necessary to reach a conclusion on that point in this decision in the light of the conclusion reached by the Commission in section 10.2.2.1 above.
Vendar glede na ugotovitev Komisije v oddelku 0 zgoraj o tem vidiku v tej odločbi ni več treba odločati.
Possible payment of the additional redundancy payments in the event of SNCM’s compulsory liquidation
Določitev morebitnega prevzema dodatnih odpravnin v primeru sodne likvidacije družbe SNCM
According to the French authorities, in addition to the asset shortfall, having regard to the relevant case-law, a court would certainly find it necessary to order the French State to pay the additional redundancy payments (between EUR […] million and EUR […] million).
Poleg nezadostnosti sredstev bi po mnenju francoskih organov sodišče glede na sodno prakso na tem področju francoski državi zanesljivo naložilo, naj prevzame dodatne odpravnine (to je med […] milijonov EUR in […] milijonov EUR).
According to the French authorities, the actual costs which the French State as shareholder would have to pay as a whole fall within an inclusive range of between EUR […] million and EUR […] million.
Po mnenju francoskih organov bi vsi realni stroški, ki bi jih kot delničarka morala nositi Francoska republika, znašali med […] milijonov EUR in […] milijonov EUR.
The French authorities state that, in recent judgments, French courts have ordered the director at law or in fact to pay, in addition to the asset shortfall, additional redundancy payments calculated on the basis of a social plan drawn up by the undertaking before it was put into liquidation.
Francoski organi pojasnjujejo, da so francoska sodišča v nedavnih sodbah pravnemu ali dejanskemu upravitelju naložila, naj poleg nezadostnosti sredstev prevzame dodatne odpravnine, izračunane na podlagi socialnega načrta, ki ga je podjetje izdelalo pred likvidacijo.
The French authorities state in particular that, in the Aspocomp case, the French company Aspocomp SAS, 99 % subsidiary of the Finnish company Aspocomp Group Oyj, signed a company-level agreement on 18 January 2002 describing the conditions for indemnification of a social plan relating to 210 employees of a total of 550.
Francoski organi navajajo zlasti, da je v zadevi Aspocomp francoska družba Aspocomp SAS, ki je hčerinska družba v 99-odstotni lasti finske družbe Aspocomp Group Oy, 18. januarja 2002 podpisala podjetniški sporazum, v katerem so bili opisani pogoji nadomestila na podlagi socialnega načrta v zvezi z 210 od skupaj 550 zaposlenih.
That agreement described, in particular, the amount of compensation and additional payments as well as assistance for voluntary redundancy.
V tem sporazumu so bili opisani zlasti znesek nadomestnih in dodatnih odškodnin ter pomoči za prostovoljni odhod.
Following a change in group strategy, the parent company Aspocomp Group Oyj decided on 21 February 2002 to stop financing its subsidiary Aspocomp SAS and thus caused the voluntary liquidation of the latter.
Vendar se je po spremembi strategije skupine matična družba Aspocomp Group Oyj 21. februarja 2002 odločila, da ne bo več financirala svoje hčerinske družbe Aspocomp SAS, s čimer je povzročila njen stečaj.
That decision de facto prevented the subsidiary from meeting the commitments under the company-level agreement and led it to lay off all of its other employees.
Ta odločitev je hčerinski družbi dejansko preprečila, da bi izpolnila svoje obveznosti, sprejete na podlagi podjetniškega sporazuma, in jo privedla do tega, da je odpustila vse druge zaposlene.
