On 20 December 2007, CFF lodged a complaint in respect of State aid against SNCM which completed the sending of information of 15 June 2007 and 30 November 2007.
CFF je 20. decembra 2007 zaradi državnih pomoči zoper družbo SNCM vložila pritožbo, ki dopolnjuje poslane informacije z dne 15. junija 2007 in 30. novembra 2007.
That complaint concerns Article 3 of the new public service delegation agreement signed in June 2007 between the Collectivité territoriale de Corse (Corsican regional authorities) and the Compagnie Méridionale de Navigation-SNCM group for 2007 to 2013.
Ta pritožba se nanaša na člen 3 nove pogodbe o prenosu pooblastil javne službe, sklenjene junija 2007 med ozemeljsko skupnostjo Korzike in skupino Compagnie Méridionale de Navigation – SNCM za obdobje 2007–2013.
SNCM is a limited liability company which came into being in 1969 with the merger of the Compagnie Générale Transatlantique and the Compagnie de Navigation Mixte, both established in 1850.
SNCM je javna delniška družba, ki je nastala leta 1969 z združitvijo Compagnie générale transatlantique in Compagnie de navigation mixte, ki sta bili ustanovljeni leta 1850.
At that time called Compagnie Générale Transméditerranéenne, it was renamed Société Nationale Maritime Corse-Méditerranée in 1976, after the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer (SNCF) had acquired a share in its capital.
Družba se je sprva imenovala Compagnie générale transméditerranéenne, leta 1976 pa se je, potem ko je Société nationale des chemins de fer (SNCF) pridobila delež v njenem kapitalu, preimenovala v Société nationale maritime Corse-Méditerranée.
For structural reasons, that policy results nonetheless in lower passenger rates for CFF than for SNCM, with a difference in the region of […] percentage points in 2007.
Ta politika vseeno vodi v strukturno nižje stopnje zasedenosti pri družbi CFF kot pri družbi SNCM, z razliko […] odstotnih točk leta 2007.
For SNCM, the average passenger rate in 2007 was […] %, which is normal having regard to the fact that the market is very seasonal (see above).
Pri družbi SNCM je povprečna stopnja zasedenosti leta 2007 znašala […] %, kar je običajno glede na veliko odvisnost trga od sezone (glej zgoraj).
The French maritime transport market to the Maghreb has seen steady growth over recent years, of around 13 % between 2001 and 2005.
Trg pomorskega prevoza iz Francije v Magreb se je v zadnjih letih nenehno povečeval, rast med letoma 2001 in 2005 pa je znašala približno 13 %.
Having regard to the prospects for growth in tourism in that region, maritime transport should see an annual growth rate of around 4 % by 2010.
Ob upoštevanju napovedi rasti turizma na tem območju bi morala letna stopnja rasti pomorskega prevoza do leta 2010 doseči približno 4 %.
That was to lead to a reduction in debt from EUR 145 million in 2002 to levels of EUR […] million to EUR […] million from 2003 to 2005.
To bi moralo omogočiti zmanjšanje finančne zadolženosti s 145 milijonov EUR leta 2002 na ravni od […] do […] milijonov EUR od leta 2003 do leta 2005.
In the last years of the plan, an increase in debt was forecast by the company because of the replacement of one or two vessels (unrestricted ownership).
V zadnjih letih izvajanja načrta je bilo predvideno povečanje zadolženosti družbe za obnovo ene ali dveh ladij, ki sta v celoti v lasti družbe.
Accordingly, SNCM’s ordinary profits come to EUR – 32,6 million in 2004 and EUR – 25,8 million in 2005.
Tako je bil tekoči rezultat družbe SNCM –32,6 milijona EUR leta 2004 in –25,8 milijona EUR leta 2005.
Net profit was EUR – 29,7 million in 2004 and EUR – 28,8 million in 2005.
Neto rezultat je bil –29,7 milijona EUR leta 2004 in –28,8 milijona EUR leta 2005.
In the event that that amount is categorised as aid compatible with Article 86(2) EC, the Commission took the view, in its decision of 2006, that the new amount of aid to be assessed in the light of the guidelines for restructuring aid was EUR 15,81 million. In so far as the amount of restructuring aid is noticeably lower than that notified in 2002 and approved in 2003, the Commission expressed doubts as to whether it was appropriate to maintain all of the compensatory measures imposed on SNCM by the 2003 decision.
Če bi bil ta znesek opredeljen kot združljiva pomoč v smislu člena 86(2) ES, je Komisija v Odločbi iz leta 2006 ocenila, da bi novi znesek pomoči, ki bi ga bilo treba oceniti na podlagi smernic o pomoči za prestrukturiranje, znašal 15,81 milijona EUR. Ker bi bil znesek pomoči za prestrukturiranje veliko nižji od zneska, priglašenega leta 2002 in odobrenega leta 2003, je Komisija izrazila dvom o primernosti ohranitve vseh izravnalnih ukrepov, naloženih družbi SNCM z Odločbo iz leta 2003.
In that regard, the French authorities consider that SNCM may be entitled to a ‘presumption of sound management’ in the period 1991 to 2001 and that no ‘presumption of poor management’ can be made against it by the mere fact of financial losses suffered in the period 1991-2001.
V zvezi s tem francoski organi menijo, da se za družbo SNCM lahko uporabi „domneva o dobrem upravljanju“ v obdobju od leta 1991 do leta 2001 in da zoper družbo SNCM ni mogoče uporabiti „domneve o slabem upravljanju“ samo zaradi finančnih izgub, ki jih je utrpela v obdobju 1991–2001.
According to the French authorities, SNCM’s losses are not to be ascribed to poor management but to the rigidity of the agreements signed in 1991 and 1996 and to the sudden disruption in the historic market of that company owing to the transition from a monopoly to a highly competitive environment.
Po mnenju francoskih organov izgub družbe SNCM ni mogoče pripisati slabemu upravljanju, ampak togosti pogodb, sklenjenih v letih 1991 in 1996, ter tudi nenadnemu preobratu na tradicionalnem trgu te družbe, ki je bil posledica prehoda iz monopolnega položaja v močno konkurenčno okolje.
Finally, the French authorities maintain that the fact that the Altmark case-law applies to the public service agreement of 2002 to 2006 should contribute to dispelling the doubts concerning the applicability of that case-law to the compensation for public service costs relating to the period from 1991 to 2001.
Nazadnje francoski organi trdijo, da bi moralo dejstvo, da se sodba Altmark uporablja za pogodbo o PPJS za obdobje 2002–2006, prispevati k odpravi dvomov o uporabi te sodne prakse za nadomestila za stroške javne službe za obdobje 1991–2001.
According to France, the compensation granted from 1991 to 2001 and from 2002 to 2006 is similar inasmuch as the parameters for defining it, namely onerous public service requirements, the presence of only one undertaking in a position to assume those requirements and a pattern of taking into account operating costs, are identical.
Po mnenju Francije naj bi bila namreč nadomestila, dodeljena v obdobjih 1991–2001 in 2002–2006, enaka, ker so parametri njihove opredelitve, to je težke zahteve javne službe, prisotnost enega samega podjetja, sposobnega, da jih prevzame, in načrt upoštevanja stroškov poslovanja, enaki.
The French authorities point out that, in this case, the amount in question is a measure which should not be assessed in the light of the guidelines on restructuring aid of 1999 or 2004 and, in particular, should not be taken into account when evaluating the conditions imposed in the 2002 plan.
Francoski organi vztrajajo pri dejstvu, da je v tem primeru zadevni znesek ukrep, ki se ne bi smel presojati na podlagi smernic o pomoči za prestrukturiranje iz leta 1999 ali leta 2004 in se zlasti ne bi smel upoštevati ob presoji pogojev, določenih za načrt iz leta 2002.
According to France, the 2004 guidelines on restructuring aid (point 68) cannot justify the inclusion of EUR 53,48 million into restructuring aid.
Po mnenju Francije namreč Smernice o pomoči za prestrukturiranje iz leta 2004 (točka 68) ne morejo upravičiti vključitve 53,48 milijona EUR v pomoč za prestrukturiranje.
On 30 September 2005, the residual value of SNCM’s assets (EUR […] million) was, after payment of preferential debts, EUR […] million. Other cost elements taken into account under the action ‘en comblement de passif’ against the State include, inter alia, the costs of termination of the principal operating contracts, the costs related to the cancellation of the lease purchasing conditions of vessels and the payment of unsecured debts, which would lead to a shortfall in assets of EUR […] million. The French authorities consider that the State would have been ordered to pay between […] and […] % of that amount.
Preostala vrednost sredstev družbe SNCM (to je […] milijonov EUR) naj bi 30. septembra 2005 po plačilu privilegiranih dolgov znašala […] milijonov EUR. Drugi elementi stroškov, upoštevani na podlagi tožbe za plačilo dolgov zoper državo, vključujejo zlasti stroške odpovedi glavnih pogodb o poslovanju, stroške, povezane z razveljavitvijo pogojev zakupa ladij, in plačilo nezavarovanih dolgov, kar naj bi pripeljalo do nezadostnosti sredstev v višini […] milijonov EUR. Po mnenju francoskih organov naj bi bilo državi naloženo, da prevzame med […] in […] % tega zneska.
According to France, that aspect is one of the principles of the guidelines in the rescue of an undertaking in difficulty as noted, in the present case, by the Commission (recital 283 of its annulled decision) and by the Court of First Instance in its judgment in Case T-349/03.
Ta element je po mnenju Francije eno od načel smernic pri reševanju podjetja v težavah, kot sta na to v tej zadevi opozorila Komisija (odstavek 283 njene razveljavljene odločbe) in Sodišče prve stopnje v sodbi z dne 15. junija 2005.
In particular, the latter pointed out that the Commission could consider, in exercising its wide discretion, that the presence of an undertaking was necessary to prevent the emergence of an increased oligopolistic structure of the markets in question.
Sodišče prve stopnje naj bi zlasti opozorilo, da lahko Komisija pri izvajanju svoje široke diskrecijske pravice oceni, da je bila prisotnost podjetja potrebna za preprečitev pojava okrepljene oligopolne strukture zadevnih trgov.
According to the French authorities, the restructuring plan, as updated, complies with the compatibility criteria set out by the Commission in its 1999 and 2004 guidelines.
Po mnenju francoskih organov naj bi bil načrt prestrukturiranja, kakor je bil posodobljen, v skladu z merili združljivosti, ki jih je Komisija opredelila v smernicah iz leta 1999 in leta 2004.
All of the measures laid down in the context of SNCM’s privatisation also serve to restore SNCM’s long term viability from the end of 2009 and are restricted to the minimum necessary for that return to viability.
Vsi ukrepi, navedeni na podlagi privatizacije družbe SNCM, naj bi od konca leta 2009 omogočali tudi obnovitev dolgoročne sposobnosti preživetja družbe SNCM in bili omejeni na najmanj, kar je potrebno za to obnovitev sposobnosti preživetja.
The French authorities recall, on the one hand, that the conditions imposed by decision of 2003 were all implemented and complied with in the period from 2003 to 2006.
Francoski organi po eni strani opozarjajo, da so bili vsi pogoji, določeni z Odločbo iz leta 2003, izpolnjeni in upoštevani v obdobju 2003–2006.
On the other hand, the French authorities consider that those measures are no longer necessary to prevent a distortion of competition and that their continuation would be contrary to the principle of proportionality having regard to the limit on the amount of restructuring aid, henceforth reduced to EUR 15,81 million. In particular, the French authorities take the view that it is necessary to lift the conditions which might still apply, namely those relating to the prohibition on modernising SNCM’s fleet, the observance of the principle of price leadership in tariff matters and the maintenance of frequency of services.
Po drugi strani menijo, da ti ukrepi niso več potrebni za preprečevanje izkrivljanja konkurence in da bi bila njihova ohranitev v nasprotju z načelom sorazmernosti glede na omejitev zneska pomoči za prestrukturiranje, odslej znižanega na 15,81 milijona EUR. Francoski organi zlasti menijo, da je treba odpraviti pogoje, ki bi se še lahko uporabljali, to je pogoje, ki se nanašajo na prepoved posodobitve ladjevja družbe SNCM, upoštevanje načela price leadership na področju cen in ohranitev določenega števila pogostosti.
CFF is in doubt as to whether the new aid is limited to the minimum on account, first, of a lack of clarity as to what the social costs cover and, secondly, the content of the minutes of SNCM’s meeting of 28 April 2006 according to which a part of that aid would be used to cover the operating losses of the company in 2006 and 2007.
CFF izraža dvome o dejstvu, da so nove pomoči omejene na minimum, zaradi, po eni strani, nejasnosti glede tega, kaj obsegajo stroški za socialno varnost, in, po drugi strani, vsebine zapisnika skupščine družbe SNCM z dne 28. aprila 2006, iz katerega izhaja, da naj bi se del teh pomoči uporabil za kritje izgub iz poslovanja družbe v letih 2006 in 2007.
CFF also considers that the purchasers of SNCM do not contribute substantially to the restructuring of the undertaking.
CFF tudi meni, da kupci družbe SNCM ne prispevajo bistveno k prestrukturiranju podjetja.
STIM considers that the amounts were paid in breach of the principle of uniqueness established by the 2004 guidelines.
STIM meni, da so bili zneski izplačani v nasprotju z načelom enotnosti, določenim s Smernicami iz leta 2004.
The deterioration in the undertaking’s financial situation and the social conflicts cannot be analysed as exceptional and unforeseeable circumstances for which the recipient company is not responsible.
Poslabšanja finančnega položaja podjetja in socialnih konfliktov ni mogoče razlagati kot izjemne in nepredvidljive okoliščine, ki jih ni mogoče pripisati upravičenemu podjetju.
In general, France notes that many of the observations of STIM and CFF are identical to those submitted to the Commission in 2003.
Francija na splošno opaža, da je vrsta pripomb družb STIM in CFF enaka stališčem, ki sta jih družbi že izrekli pred Komisijo leta 2003.
In particular, they note that CFF’s comments were submitted to the Court of First Instance in the action for annulment of the Commission decision of 9 July 2003 and were, for the most part, rejected both by the Commission and the Court.
Poudarja zlasti, da so bila stališča družbe CFF predložena Sodišču prve stopnje na podlagi tožbe za razglasitev ničnosti odločbe Komisije z dne 9. julija 2003 ter da sta jih Komisija in Sodišče prve stopnje večinoma že zavrnila.
France points out that the EUR 53,48 million in question is part of the EUR 69,3 million declared compatible by the Commission in 2003.
Francija pojasnjuje, da je zadevnih 53,48 milijona EUR del 69,3 milijona EUR, ki jih je Komisija leta 2003 razglasila za združljive.
The doubts expressed by the Commission in its initiation decision of 2006 do not therefore concern the compatibility of those measures, which are not called into question, as STIM seems to state in its observations, but concern the aid nature of that amount granted as compensation for public service costs.
Dvomi, ki jih je Komisija izrazila v odločbi o uvedbi postopka iz leta 2006, se torej ne nanašajo na združljivost teh ukrepov, ki ni sporna, kot naj bi trdila družba STIM v pripombah, ampak na naravo pomoči tega zneska, dodeljenega iz naslova nadomestila za stroške javne službe.
The French authorities also refute CFF’s argument that the market value of SNCM’s fleet was underestimated, which CFF assessed at between EUR 406,5 million and EUR 426,5 million. The French authorities argue that the vessels taken into account in CFF’s calculation do not correspond to those held in SNCM’s name on 30 September 2005.
Francoski organi izpodbijajo tudi trditev družbe CFF, da so podcenili prodajno vrednost ladjevja družbe SNCM, ki naj bi jo CFF ocenjevala med 406,5 milijona EUR in 426,5 milijona EUR. Francoski organi navajajo, da se ladje, upoštevane v izračunu družbe CFF, ne ujemajo z ladjami v lasti družbe SNCM na dan 30. septembra 2005.
The absence of discounts applied to the market value of the vessels does not take account of the background in which a potential compulsory liquidation of those assets takes place and, finally, the date chosen to calculate that market value, August 2006, is not the date of potential liquidation of SNCM to which reference must be made, that date being 30 September 2005.
Pri neobstoju popustov, uporabljenih za prodajno vrednost ladij, naj se ne bi upoštevale okoliščine, v katerih bi potekala morebitna sodna likvidacija teh sredstev, in nazadnje, datum, uporabljen za izračun te prodajne vrednosti, to je avgust 2006, ni datum mogoče likvidacije družbe SNCM, na katerega se je treba sklicevati, saj je ta datum 30. september 2005.
However, France notes that, if the calculation proposed by CFF was to be accepted, the negative price would be three times lower than the liquidation value of the assets required by the Gröditzer case-law, which would therefore be more favourable than the cases presented to the Commission by the French authorities.
Poleg tega Francija navaja, da bi bila negativna cena, če bi uporabili izračun, ki ga predlaga družba CFF, trikrat nižja kot likvidacijska vrednost sredstev, zahtevana s sodbo Gröditzer, kar bi bilo torej ugodneje od hipotez, ki so jih Komisiji predstavili francoski organi.
Further, France submits that its investment is much lower than that of the purchasers, since it is only the sum of EUR 8,75 million which must be compared to the investment made by the purchasers (EUR 26,25 million). The first recapitalisation of EUR 142,5 million should be examined only in the course of the comparison with the liquidation price.
Poleg tega Francija opozarja, da je njena naložba dejansko nižja od naložbe kupcev, ker je treba z naložbo, ki so jo opravili kupci (26,25 milijona EUR), primerjati samo znesek 8,75 milijona EUR. Preučitev prve finančne sanacije v višini 142,5 milijona EUR bi bilo namreč treba opraviti samo na podlagi primerjave z likvidacijsko ceno.
France challenges the arguments put forward by CFF and STIM concerning the failure of the 2002 restructuring plan which, despite some delay, was implemented and made it possible to achieve the objectives in 2005.
Francija izpodbija trditve družb CFF in STIM v zvezi z neuspehom načrta prestrukturiranja iz leta 2002, ki je bil kljub zamudi uresničen in je leta 2005 omogočil dosego ciljev.
The deterioration in SNCM’s economic and financial situation owing to factors external to the undertaking itself then made necessary the extension of the plan notified in 2002 and the introduction of new measures.
Zaradi poslabšanja gospodarskega in finančnega položaja družbe SNCM zaradi zunanjih dejavnikov naj bi nato postalo nujno podaljšati trajanje načrta, priglašenega leta 2002, in uvesti nove ukrepe.
It should be noted, first of all, that SNCM suffered substantial deficits between 1991 and 2001 on all services to Corsica subject to the public service obligation, despite State subsidies authorised by the Commission decision of 2001.
Najprej je treba navesti, da je družba SNCM kljub subvencijam države, odobrenim z Odločbo Komisije iz leta 2001, med letoma 1991 in 2001 utrpela velike primanjkljaje pri vseh povezavah s Korziko, za katere je veljala obveznost javne službe.
The Commission found in paragraph 105 of that decision that the cumulative loss before tax for the period 1991-1999 for operating services to Corsica, as calculated in the report of the expert appointed by the Commission, and including the subsidies received, amounted to FRF 217 million, namely EUR 33,08 million.
Komisija je namreč v točki 105 te odločbe ugotovila, da kumulativna izguba pred obdavčenjem v obdobju 1991–1999 za povezave s Korziko, kot je določena v poročilu strokovnjaka, ki ga je pooblastila Komisija, in vključno s prejetimi subvencijami, znaša 217 milijonov FRF ali 33,08 milijona EUR.
Those agreements, of which the legal basis is the 1976-2001 framework agreement, specified the ways in which the public service was to be performed for the 1991-1996 and 1996-2001 periods.
V teh pogodbah, katerih pravna podlaga je okvirna pogodba za obdobje 1976–2001, so bila določena podrobna pravila za izvajanje javne službe za obdobji 1991–1996 in 1996–2001.
They also laid down the principles governing the payment of the lump-sum subsidy from the budget for territorial continuity in return for the obligations imposed.
V pogodbah so bila opredeljena tudi načela za izplačilo pavšalne subvencije iz proračuna za ozemeljsko kontinuiteto v zameno za naložene obveznosti.
In that respect, the amount of aid to be regarded as restructuring aid under the 2002 notification amounts to EUR 22,52 million. That amount must be added to the measures notified in 2006 in so far as the latter include restructuring aid (see section 10.5 of the present decision).
V teh okoliščinah znesek pomoči, ki ga je treba šteti kot pomoč za prestrukturiranje na podlagi priglasitve iz leta 2002, znaša 22,52 milijona EUR.Ta znesek bo dodan ukrepom, priglašenim leta 2006, če bi ti vključevali pomoči za prestrukturiranje (glej oddelek 10.5 te odločbe).
In that respect, the French authorities consider that, on the basis of the 2005 social plan, itself based on the 2002 social plan, the range should be from EUR […] to […] per employee, that is, a total amount of between EUR […] million and […] million. The French authorities state that the low limits of the abovementioned range take account of the fact that the cost of the reference social plan is increased because of the very large proportion of employees approaching retirement age who leave under particularly advantageous conditions.
V zvezi s tem francoski organi menijo, da je na podlagi socialnega načrta iz leta 2005, ki temelji na socialnem načrtu iz leta 2002, razpon, ki ga je treba uporabiti, od […] do […] EUR na zaposlenega, kar skupaj znaša med […] milijoni EUR in […] milijoni EUR. Francoski organi pojasnjujejo, da je pri spodnji meji zgoraj navedenega razpona upoštevano dejstvo, da je strošek referenčnega socialnega načrta povišan zaradi velikega deleža zaposlenih, ki se bližajo upokojitveni starosti in odhajajo pod še posebno ugodnimi pogoji.
Hewlett Packard’s social plan in 2003 cost EUR 214000 per person and in 2005 between EUR 50000 and EUR 400000. In 2004, the social plan set up by Péchiney, after the merger with Alcan, cost EUR 128000 per person.
Socialni načrt podjetja Hewlett Packard je leta 2003 stal 214000 EUR na osebo, leta 2005 pa med 50000 in 400000 EUR. Socialni načrt, ki ga je leta 2004 po združitvi z družbo Alcan izvedla družba Péchiney, je stal 128000 EUR na osebo.
As regards, in particular, social liabilities, the French authorities value the cost of the social plan under collective agreement at EUR […] million. The costs relating to the social plan were determined on an individual basis taking into account the type of contract (contract for an indefinite term and fixed-term contract), applicable staff regulations and collective agreements (seagoing staff, office staff and staff captain), seniority, rank and pay of each employee.
Zlasti kar zadeva obveznosti družbe, francoski organi ocenjujejo stroške pogodbenega socialnega načrta na […] milijonov EUR. Stroški, povezani s pogodbenim socialnim načrtom, so bili določeni na individualni podlagi ob upoštevanju vrste pogodbe (pogodba za nedoločen čas – PNČ in pogodba za določen čas – PDČ), pravilnikov in veljavnih kolektivnih pogodb (posadka na ladjah, osebje na kopnem in vodstvo), delovne dobe, razvrstitve in plačila vsakega zaposlenega.
The cost of the social plan not covered by the agreement is assessed by the French authorities at EUR […] million. That social plan groups together all the accompanying measures related to SNCM’s legal and statutory obligations in redundancy matters and the indirect costs related to the social plan under collective agreement .
Francoski organi ocenjujejo stroške zunajpogodbenega socialnega načrta na […] milijonov EUR. Ta socialni načrt združuje vse spremne ukrepe, povezane z zakonskimi in podzakonskimi obveznostmi družbe SNCM glede odpuščanja, ter posredne stroške, povezane s pogodbenim socialnim načrtom .
