With regard to the RATP special scheme, the period of contribution necessary in order to obtain a full pension, in particular, has progressively increased and reached 40 annuities in 2012, before subsequently being changed by one quarter on 1 July of each year until reaching the duration required under the general scheme and the public sector scheme (the duration of 41 years applicable in 2012 to the general scheme and public sector scheme should therefore be reached in 2016 under the special scheme).
Kar zadeva posebni sistem RATP, se doba plačevanja prispevkov, potrebna posebej za pridobitev polne pokojnine, povečuje postopno, tako da bo dosegla 40 let leta 2012, nato pa se bo 1. julija vsako leto povečevala za eno četrtletje, dokler ne bo dosegla dobe, zahtevane v splošnem sistemu in sistemu za javne uslužbence (doba 41 let, ki se bo uporabljala leta 2012 za splošni sistem in sistem za javne uslužbence, bi morala biti v posebnem sistemu dosežena leta 2016).
FINANCING OF THE PENSION SCHEME FOR RATP STAFF BEFORE AND AFTER THE NOTIFIED REFORM
FINANCIRANJE POKOJNINSKEGA SISTEMA ZA USLUŽBENCE RATP PRED PRIGLAŠENO REFORMO IN PO NJEJ
The pension scheme for RATP staff is a ‘pay-as-you-go’ pension scheme; contributions made by employees in respect of old-age pensions are immediately used to pay the pensions of retired staff [14].
Pokojninski sistem za uslužbence RATP je dokladni pokojninski sistem, v katerem se prispevki, ki jih za starostno zavarovanje plačujejo zaposleni uslužbenci, takoj porabijo za izplačilo pokojnin upokojencem [14].
Until 31 December 2005, RATP was legally liable for the pension commitments of the special scheme.
RATP je bil do 31. decembra 2005 pravno zavezan plačevati pokojninske obveznosti posebnega sistema.
Under Article 20 of the 1948 Law referred to above, RATP was responsible for ensuring the financial equilibrium of its special pension scheme.
V skladu s členom 20 zgoraj navedenega zakona iz leta 1948 je moral zagotavljati finančno ravnovesje svojega posebnega pokojninskega sistema.
The RATP pensions department, part of the RATP legal service, was responsible for administering this special pension scheme.
Upravljanje tega posebnega pokojninskega sistema je zagotavljala služba za pokojnine RATP, ki je bila del pravne osebe RATP.
The pensions department collected contributions from serving RATP staff and from RATP itself as an employer and paid pensions to beneficiaries of the scheme.
Ta služba je prejemala prispevke zaposlenih uslužbencev RATP, RATP samega in delodajalca ter izplačevala pokojnine upravičencem do sistema.
The rates of pension contribution (7,85 % of salary and 15,34 % of salary for employees and the employer respectively) were lower than the statutory contribution rate (employee contributions of 12 % and employer contribution of 18 %).
Stopnje prispevkov za pokojnino (stopnja prispevkov delavca je bila 7,85 %, stopnja prispevkov delodajalca pa 15,34 %) so bile nižje od stopenj prispevkov splošnega prava (stopnja prispevkov delavca je bila 12 %, stopnja prispevkov delodajalca pa 18 %).
For many years, the RATP pension scheme has experienced structural shortcomings due to reasons relating to the demographic imbalance between active staff and pensioners, the advantageous nature of the scheme compared to the general scheme, and, until 31 December 2005, the standardised setting of pension contribution rates.
Pokojninski sistem RATP je dolgo ustvarjal strukturni primanjkljaj zaradi demografskega neravnovesja med zaposlenimi in upokojenci ter posebnih ugodnosti tega sistema v primerjavi s splošnim sistemom in do 31. decembra 2005 zaradi standardiziranega določanja stopenj pokojninskih prispevkov.
These successive shortcomings of the RATP pension scheme have been rectified by measures taken by the State, which took action on the basis of Article 2 of the Order of 7 January 1959 and the Decree of 7 January 1959 referred to above.
Te zaporedne primanjkljaje pokojninskega sistema RATP je pokrivala država v skladu s členom 2 sklepa z dne 7. januarja 1959 in zgoraj navedenega odloka z dne 7. januarja 1959.
On 29 June 2006, France provided notification of the reform of the method by which RATP finances its pension scheme.
Francija je 29. junija 2006 priglasila reformo financiranja pokojninskega sistema RATP.
According to the French authorities, the reform is part of the changes made to the institutional arrangements for urban transport in Ile-de-France over the last 10 years and also the preparations for opening urban transport up to competition.
Po mnenju francoskih organov je ta reforma del razvoja institucionalnega okvira mestnega prevoza v regiji Ile-de-France, ki se izvaja zadnjih deset let, in priprav na odprtje mestnega prevoza za konkurenco.
The notified reform has two stages.
Priglašena reforma se izvaja v dveh fazah.
CREATION OF THE RATP STAFF PENSION FUND ON 1 JANUARY 2006
USTANOVITEV POKOJNINSKEGA SKLADA ZA USLUŽBENCE RATP 1. JANUARJA 2006
Article 1 of Decree No 2005-1635 of 26 December 2005 [15] set up, as of 1 January 2006, a pension fund for RATP staff (hereafter the ‘CRP-RATP’).
S členom 1 odloka št. 2005-1635 z dne 26. decembra 2005 [15] je bil 1. januarja 2006 ustanovljen pokojninski sklad za uslužbence RATP (v nadaljnjem besedilu: CRP-RATP).
The CRP-RATP has the status of a social security body and legal personality, and is legally and financially independent of RATP.
CRP-RATP ima status organa socialne varnosti zasebnega prava in je pravna oseba, ki je pravno in finančno neodvisna od RATP.
In accordance with Article L711-1 of the Social Security Code, it has all the characteristics defined in Article L111-1 of that Code, which states, in particular, that the organisation of social security is to be based on the principle of national solidarity.
V skladu s členom L.711-1 zakonika o socialni varnosti ima CRP-RATP vse pristojnosti, opredeljene v členu L.111-1 tega zakonika, v katerem je posebej določeno, da organizacija socialne varnosti temelji na načelu nacionalne solidarnosti.
The CRP-RATP is subject to the Social Security Code rules applicable to all independent pension funds.
Za ta sklad veljajo pravila zakonika o socialni varnosti, ki se uporablja za vse neodvisne pokojninske sklade.
It is also subject to scrutiny by the relevant State authorities which are represented by commissioners of the Government.
Sklad je pod nadzorom pristojnih organov države, ki jih zastopajo vladni komisarji.
On the date on which it was set up, the CRP-RATP replaced RATP as the only legal debtor for the retirement pensions of staff in posts governed by service regulations.
CRP-RATP je ob ustanovitvi namesto RATP postal edini pravni zavezanec za izplačila pokojnin zaposlenim, za katere veljajo kadrovski predpisi.
As a result, since 1 January 2006 the RATP has, in full discharge of its liabilities, made contributions to the CRP-RATP which correspond to the contributions of the active members of this special scheme and its contributions as an employer.
CRP-RATP zato od 1. januarja 2006 prejema od RATP odvezujoči prispevek, ki ustreza prispevkom, ki jih zaposleni zavarovanci plačujejo v posebni sistem, in prispevkom, ki jih RATP plačuje kot delodajalec.
From that date, these contributions are at the same level as statutory contributions [16].
Višina teh prispevkov je bila s tem datumom zvišana na raven, ki velja za sisteme splošnega prava [16].
In addition to these employer pension contributions, the CRP-RATP also receives a payment from the State in order to balance the accounts.
CRP-RATP poleg teh pokojninskih prispevkov prejema nakazilo od države za izravnavo svojih računov.
This balancing contribution finances both the demographic deficit in the special scheme and also the pension entitlements specific to the scheme.
S tem izravnalnim prispevkom se financirajo demografski primanjkljaj posebnega sistema in pokojninske dajatve v okviru tega sistema.
In 2006 and 2007, the State paid balancing subsidies of EUR 390,11 and EUR 414 million.
Država je v letih 2006 in 2007 nakazala izravnalne subvencije v višini 390,11 in 414 milijonov EUR.
THE FINANCIAL AFFILIATION OF BASIC ENTITLEMENTS UNDER THE RATP SPECIAL SCHEME TO STATUTORY SCHEMES
FINANČNA NASLONITEV OSNOVNIH DAJATEV IZ POSEBNEGA SISTEMA RATP NA SISTEME SPLOŠNEGA PRAVA
Article 18 of Decree 2005-1635 of 26 December 2005, as referred to above, makes it possible for the CRP-RATP to financially affiliate some of the RATP special pension scheme entitlements to statutory schemes (CNAV [17] and ARGIC [18]/ARCCO [19]) [20], i.e. a technical transfer of CRP-RATP pension transactions to statutory schemes (receiving schemes) is possible.
Člen 18 zgoraj navedenega odloka št. 2005-1635 z dne 26. decembra 2005 predvideva možnost, da CRP-RATP del pokojninskih dajatev iz posebnega sistema za uslužbence RATP finančno nasloni na sisteme splošnega prava (CNAV [17] in ARGIC [18]/ARRCO [19]) [20], kar pomeni, da tehnično izvede prenos pokojninskih transakcij CRP-RATP na sisteme splošnega prava (v nadaljnjem besedilu: sprejemni sistemi).
The affiliation of some pension rights acquired under the RATP special scheme to statutory schemes is intended to place the mechanism of inter-generational and inter-professional solidarity on a considerably widened demographic basis. On a broader level, it also ensures that the financing of compulsory pension schemes, funded on a pay-as-you-go basis, can continue in the long term.
Namen naslonitve dela pokojninskih dajatev iz posebnega sistema RATP na sisteme splošnega prava je začetek delovanja mehanizma medgeneracijske in medpanožne solidarnosti na precej širši demografski podlagi in, v širšem obsegu, zagotavljati trajnost financiranja obveznih pokojninskih sistemov, ki se financirajo po načelu doklade.
Basic rights acquired at the time of affiliation
Osnovne dajatve, pridobljene na dan izvedbe naslonitve
In accordance with Article L222-6 of the Social Security Code, a special pension scheme or any other (statutory) pension scheme may be affiliated in respect of some of the benefits provided under special schemes, equivalent to old-age pension benefits provided to employees under the general scheme.
Naslonitev posebnega pokojninskega sistema ali katerega koli drugega pokojninskega sistema na sisteme splošnega prava se lahko v skladu s členom L.222-6 zakonika o socialni varnosti izvede za del dajatev, ki se izplačujejo iz posebnih sistemov, enakovreden dajatvam za starostno zavarovanje, ki se izplačujejo zaposlenim iz splošnega sistema.
Under a pay-as-you-go pension scheme, previous entitlements acquired under another scheme (and therefore on the basis of other criteria) can be transferred to a receiving scheme by calculating these rights acquired on the basis of the rules governing the receiving scheme as if the beneficiaries (pensioners, employees and persons whose names have been removed from the scheme) had spent all of their working life under the receiving scheme.
V dokladnem pokojninskem sistemu se prevzem dajatev iz preteklosti, pridobljenih v drugem sistemu (in torej po drugih merilih), v sprejemni sistem izvede tako, da se te pridobljene dajatve izračunajo na podlagi pravil sprejemnega sistema, kot če bi upravičenci (upokojenci, zaposleni in črtani) vso delovno dobo prispevali v sprejemni sistem.
In this particular case, the French authorities calculated the basic rights, i.e. those corresponding to pension benefits calculated in the light of the rules governing the receiving schemes and which would be transferred to the schemes [21].
Francoski organi so v tem primeru izračunali osnovne dajatve, to je tiste, ki ustrezajo pokojninskim dajatvam, izračunanim z vidika pravil sprejemnih sistemov, in ki bi jih ti sistemi prevzeli [21].
Only these basic rights thus established in this way may be transferred to the receiving schemes.
Samo te tako opredeljene osnovne dajatve se lahko prevzamejo v sprejemnih sistemih.
Article 222-6 of the Social Security Code also stipulates that affiliation of a special scheme must ensure strict financial neutrality of the transaction for employees covered under the receiving scheme.
Člen L.222-6 zakonika o socialni varnosti med drugim določa, da je treba pri naslonitvi posebnega sistema upoštevati načelo stroge finančne nevtralnosti transakcije za zavarovance v sprejemnem sistemu socialne varnosti.
In other words, under no circumstances may the financial affiliation of a special pension scheme to statutory schemes jeopardise the financial situation of receiving schemes.
Povedano drugače, finančna naslonitev posebnega pokojninskega sistema na sisteme splošnega prava v nobenem primeru ne more poslabšati finančnega položaja sprejemnih sistemov.
This is the point at which weighing takes place, the purpose of which is to determine what proportion of these previous pension entitlements was actually valid at the time of affiliation, in order to ensure that the principle of financial neutrality referred to above is complied with fully.
V tej fazi se opravi tehtanje, zato da se določi, kolikšen delež teh preteklih pokojninskih dajatev je dejansko potrjen ob naslonitvi, da bi se strogo upoštevalo zgoraj navedeno načelo finančne nevtralnosti.
From a conceptual point of view, weighing compares the ratio of pension costs for the group affiliated and the ratio of pension costs under the receiving scheme [22].
Konceptualno se pri tehtanju primerjata razmerji pokojninskih obveznosti naslonjene skupine in pokojninskih obveznosti sprejemnega sistema [22].
The receiving scheme then determines what proportion should be used for transferring previously reconstituted rights in order to ensure that these ratios would stay the change: on the basis of this rate, pension rights are transferred ‘for free’ by the receiving scheme.
Sprejemni sistem torej določa, kolikšen delež prevzetih obnovljenih dajatev iz preteklosti zagotavlja enakost teh razmerij obveznosti: po tej stopnji potrditve sprejemni sistem „brezplačno“ prevzame pokojninske dajatve.
If the rate of validation of reconstituted acquired entitlements by the receiving scheme is less than 100 %, the scheme may propose that the affiliated scheme validate 100 % of these rights by paying a contribution to maintain entitlements (cash payment).
Če je stopnja potrditve obnovljenih pridobljenih dajatev s strani sprejemnega sistema nižja od 100 %, lahko ta sistem naslonjenemu sistemu predlaga potrditev 100 % teh dajatev s plačilom prispevka za ohranitev dajatev (ali „doplačilom“).
The method of calculating cash payments is intended not to change the projected ex-ante situation of the scheme.
Cilj metode izračuna doplačil je, da se ne spremeni predhodni načrtovani položaj sprejemnega sistema.
If the weighing is projected, the amount of the cash payment will be equal to the updated net value of annual entry rights.
Če je tehtanje načrtovano, je znesek doplačila enak neto sedanji vrednosti letnih vstopnih dajatev.
The annual entry right is that which, in respect of supplementary rights (i.e. over and above the rights transferred free of charge) transferred by the receiving scheme, equalises annually the ratio of costs between the full scheme and the receiving scheme.
Letna vstopna dajatev je dajatev, ki za dodatne dajatve (to je za dajatve, ki presegajo brezplačno prevzete dajatve), ki jih prevzame sprejemni sistem, letno izenačuje razmerja obveznosti med vključenim in sprejemnim sistemom.
If the financial situation of a receiving scheme has structural shortcomings, the method of calculation requires that this underlying imbalance not be exacerbated, and not requiring a projected technical equilibrium on the part of the group transferred.
Če je finančni položaj sprejemnega sistema strukturno pomanjkljiv, metoda izračuna zahteva, da se to tendenčno neravnovesje ne poslabša, ne pa da se zmanjša, s tem da se od prenesene skupine zahteva načrtovano tehnično ravnovesje.
In this particular case, the demographic structure of RATP was not as good as that of the average French company affiliated to statutory pension schemes. The full affiliation of basic rights under the special pension scheme for RATP staff to the statutory schemes requires cash payments to be paid to receiving schemes, i.e. exceptional and one-off payments and payments in discharge of their liabilities.
Ker je bila demografska struktura RATP slabša od demografske strukture povprečnega francoskega podjetja, vključenega v pokojninske sisteme splošnega prava, v tem primeru popolna naslonitev osnovnih dajatev iz posebnega pokojninskega sistema za uslužbence RATP na sisteme splošnega prava zahteva, da se sprejemnim sistemom plačujejo doplačila, tj. izjemni, pavšalni in odvezujoči prispevki.
The French authorities have set out the methods by which these cash payments are calculated.
Francoski organi so podrobno predstaviti metode izračuna teh doplačil.
They are calculated on the basis of the parameters in force at the time of implementation.
Doplačila se izračunajo glede na vrednosti parametrov, veljavnih ob izvedbi.
These parameters are:
Ti parametri so:
the rates of contribution and the bases allowing the provision to be made to the reserves anticipated by the complimentary schemes,
stopnje prispevkov in osnove za izračun sredstev za rezervacije, ki jih pričakujejo dopolnilni sistemi,
the level of updating and possibly mortality tables, which will vary depending on economic circumstances.
diskontna stopnja in po potrebi preglednica smrtnosti, ki se spreminjata glede na gospodarske razmere.
The French authorities estimate at this stage that the cash payments to be made will consist of:
Francoski organi v tej fazi menijo, da bo treba plačati naslednja doplačila:
a cash payment to the Caisse nationale d'assurance vieillesse (CNAV) which manages the general social security scheme of approximately [EUR 400 million to EUR 800 million] [23],
doplačilo v Caisse nationale d’assurance vieillesse (CNAV), ki upravlja splošni sistem socialne varnosti, bi moralo obsegati približno [400 do 800] [23] milijonov EUR,
cash payments to the additional statutory schemes AGIRC-ARRCO, in the form of a share in the underwriting reserves of these schemes, of approximately [EUR 80 million to EUR 300 million].
doplačila v dopolnilne sisteme splošnega prava, ki jih upravlja AGIRC/ARRCO, v obliki deleža v tehničnih rezervacijah teh sistemov bi morala obsegati približno [80 do 300] milijonov EUR.
The French Government anticipates taking responsibility, on behalf of the CRP-RATP, for payment of these cash payments to statutory schemes in order to ensure that affiliation of the RATP special scheme to these receiving schemes remains financially neutral.
Francoska vlada predvideva, da bo morala namesto CRP-RATP prevzeti plačevanje teh doplačil v sisteme splošnega prava, da bi zagotovila finančno nevtralnost naslonitve posebnega sistema RATP na te sprejemne sisteme.
Basic rights acquired after affiliation
Osnovne dajatve, pridobljene po izvedbi naslonitve
Given that these are basic rights acquired after affiliation, RATP and its staff are to pay statutory pension contributions in exchange for the intervention of the general scheme and supplementary schemes.
Kar zadeva osnovne dajatve, pridobljene po izvedbi naslonitve, je določeno, da RATP in njegovi uslužbenci plačujejo pokojninske prispevke splošnega prava v zameno za posredovanje splošnega sistema in dopolnilnih sistemov.
REASONS BEHIND THE ADOPTION OF THE DECISION TO INITIATE THE PROCEDURE
RAZLOGI ZA SPREJETJE ODLOČBE O SPROŽITVI POSTOPKA
In its decision to initiate the procedure, the Commission questioned whether the reform notified was compatible with the common market.
Komisija je v odločbi o sprožitvi postopka izrazila dvom o združljivosti priglašene reforme s skupnim trgom.
The Commission mentioned that the purpose of the procedure was to establish whether the reform constituted aid granted to RATP.
Navedla je, da je bil namen postopka ugotoviti, ali je priglašena reforma pomoč za RATP.
The Commission first discussed the close link between the CRP-RATP being set up and affiliation to statutory schemes, deciding that it was necessary to verify whether or not the affiliation of basic rights constituted State aid in favour of RATP.
Komisija je podvomila o tesni povezavi med ustanovitvijo CRP-RATP in naslonitvijo na sisteme splošnega prava ter menila, da je treba preveriti, ali naslonitev osnovnih dajatev ni državna pomoč za RATP.
It then questioned the proposal that the financing by the State of specific entitlements under the RATP pension scheme did not constitute State aid and, where necessary, whether or not the scheme was compatible with the single market.
Komisija je nato izrazila dvom o predlogu, da državno financiranje posebnih dajatev iz pokojninskega sistema RATP ni državna pomoč in da je po potrebi združljivo s skupnim trgom.
Finally, the Commission questioned the need for the reform notified and its proportionality with regard to common interest.
Komisija je nazadnje izrazila dvom o tem, ali je priglašena reforma potrebna in ali je sorazmerna s skupnim interesom.
With regard to whether or not the reform was necessary, it discussed the actual and effective opening up of the public transport market in the Paris region and the removal of factors in the legal and actual situation of RATP which could hinder effective competition.
Kar zadeva nujnost priglašene reforme, se je Komisija vprašala o resničnem in dejanskem odprtju trga javnega prevoza v pariški regiji ter o odpravi elementov, ki so značilni za pravni in dejanski položaj RATP in bi lahko ovirali učinkovito konkurenco.
It also questioned whether the reform notified was proportional, essentially on the grounds that it would also affect special pension commitments with regard to employees recruited after the reform was implemented.
Komisija je izrazila dvom tudi o sorazmernosti priglašene reforme, predvsem ker bo zadevala tudi posebne pokojninske obveznosti zaposlenih, ki se bodo zaposlili po njeni izvedbi.
However, in its decision of 10 October 2007, the Commission concluded that the financing by the State of the RATP pension scheme's shortfall for the period 1995-2005 constituted State aid within the meaning of Article 1(b)(iii) of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty [24] (see recital 15 of this Decision).
Vendar je Komisija v odločbi z dne 10. oktobra 2007 ugotovila, da je državno financiranje primanjkljaja v pokojninskem sistemu RATP za obdobje 1995–2005 veljavna državna pomoč v smislu člena 1(b)(iii) Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 z dne 22. marca 1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 93 Pogodbe ES [24] (glej uvodno izjavo 15 te odločbe).
The Commission also considered that Article 87 the EC Treaty did not apply to the CRP-RATP, since RATP was not a company (recital 67 of this Decision).
Komisija je poleg tega sklepala, da člen 87 Pogodbe ES ne velja za CRP-RATP, ker ta ni podjetje (uvodna izjava 67 navedene odločbe).
Finally, the Commission decided that the guarantee provided by the French State to beneficiaries under the special scheme directly benefited RATP staff, rather than RATP itself. This guarantee could not therefore be considered to provide the company with an economic advantage (recital 70 of this Decision).
Komisija je nazadnje menila, da jamstvo Francije upravičencem posebnega sistema neposredno koristi zaposlenim v RATP, ne pa samemu RATP, in ga zato ni mogoče opredeliti kot gospodarsko prednost za podjetje (uvodna izjava 70 navedene odločbe).
ARGUMENTS MADE BY THE FRENCH AUTHORITIES FOLLOWING THE INITIATING OF THE PROCEDURE
TRDITVE FRANCOSKIH ORGANOV PO SPROŽITVI POSTOPKA
In their letter of 22 January 2008, the French authorities recalled that, from their point of view, the reform in question constituted assistance to individuals, as opposed to RATP and therefore could not be regarded as State aid benefiting RATP.
Francoski organi so v dopisu z dne 22. januarja 2008 opozorili, da z njihovega stališča priglašena reforma pomeni pomoč osebi, in ne podjetju RATP, in da zato ne more biti državna pomoč za RATP.
