A common feature of the industry is that shipyards typically are not able to raise sufficient working capital for the construction of vessels internally and rely on external financing, whether through borrowing (production loans) or advance payments from shipowners to pre-finance production.
Za industrijo je značilno, da ladjedelnice običajno ne morejo zbrati zadostnih notranjih gibljivih sredstev za gradnjo plovil, zato se zanašajo na zunanje financiranje prek posojil (posojila za proizvodnjo) ali predplačil, ki jih lastniki ladij zagotovijo za predfinanciranje proizvodnje.
Shipowners’ involvement in financing shipbuilding is therefore crucial.
Zato je udeležba lastnikov ladij pri financiranju ladjedelništva ključna.
Export Credit Insurance Corporation guarantees were provided to the yard to secure advance payments from shipowners against the risk of the shipyard defaulting on its obligation to deliver the vessel.
Družba Export Credit Insurance Corporation je ladjedelnici zagotovila jamstva za zavarovanje predplačil lastnikov ladij pred tveganjem, da ladjedelnica ne bi izpolnila svoje obveznosti dobave plovila.
Various submissions by Poland on the operation of the Export Credit Insurance Corporation guarantee system [26] indicate that these guarantees were granted to the yard in the following way.
Različne navedbe Poljske v zvezi z delovanjem sistema jamstev družbe Export Credit Insurance Corporation [26] kažejo, da so bila ta jamstva ladjedelnici dodeljena na naslednji način.
First, a contract was signed with the shipowner, which was typically conditional on the yard proving within a certain period of time that financing of production would be guaranteed by the Export Credit Insurance Corporation.
Najprej je bila podpisana pogodba z lastnikom ladje, ki je bila običajno pogojena s tem, da mora ladjedelnica v določenem času dokazati, da bo za financiranje proizvodnje jamčila družba Export Credit Insurance Corporation.
The Export Credit Insurance Corporation issued a resolution undertaking to ensure financing of the ship as a whole by guaranteeing the advance payments.
Družba Export Credit Insurance Corporation je izdala sklep, v katerem se je zavezala, da bo zagotovila celotno financiranje ladje z jamstvi za predplačilo.
In subsequent individual agreements, the Export Credit Insurance Corporation activated the guarantee for each individual advance payment (typically four).
V nadaljnjih posameznih sporazumih je družba Export Credit Insurance Corporation aktivirala jamstvo za vsako posamezno predplačilo (običajno štiri).
Typically the Export Credit Insurance Corporation’s overall exposure to the risk of the shipyard defaulting on its obligation to deliver the vessel was 80 % of the purchase price, i.e. the total amount of the advance payments made by the shipowner prior to delivery.
Običajno je bila celotna izpostavljenost družbe Export Credit Insurance Corporation tveganju, da ladjedelnica ne bo izpolnila obveznosti dobave plovila, 80 % nakupne cene, tj. celotnega zneska predplačil, ki jih je lastnik ladje plačal pred prevzemom plovila.
This overall exposure was known when the Export Credit Insurance Corporation issued the resolution securing the financing of the ship by the shipowner.
Ta celotna izpostavljenost je bila znana, ko je družba Export Credit Insurance Corporation izdala sklep o zavarovanju financiranja, ki ga je lastnik ladje zagotovil za gradnjo ladje.
The Export Credit Insurance Corporation’s operations are varied [27] and are essentially divided between commercial activities and activities effected on behalf of, and guaranteed by, the Treasury.
Dejavnosti družbe Export Credit Insurance Corporation so raznolike [27] ter se delijo na komercialne dejavnosti in dejavnosti, ki se izvajajo v imenu finančnega ministrstva, ki za te dejavnosti tudi jamči.
The guarantees granted to Gdynia Shipyard Group, including those for the benefit of Gdańsk Shipyard, are part of the business re-guaranteed by the Treasury.
Jamstva, ki so bila dodeljena skupini Gdynia, vključno z jamstvi v korist ladjedelnice Gdańsk, so del dejavnosti, za katere jamči tudi finančno ministrstvo.
According to the information provided by Poland, the Export Credit Insurance Corporation granted advance payment guarantees against a fee which varied according to the amount of the guarantee.
V skladu z informacijami, ki jih je predložila Poljska, je družba Export Credit Insurance Corporation za dodelitev jamstev za predplačila zaračunala pristojbino, ki je bila odvisna od zneska jamstva.
The fee amounts to 2 % per annum for guarantees not exceeding PLN 35 million and 1 % per annum for guarantees exceeding PLN 35 million.
Pristojbina znaša 2 % na leto za jamstva do 35 milijonov PLN in 1 % na leto za jamstva, ki presegajo 35 milijonov PLN.
The Export Credit Insurance Corporation requires as collateral the transfer of ownership of the ship, the ship under construction or the construction materials.
Družba Export Credit Insurance Corporation za zavarovanje zahteva prenos lastništva ladje, ladje v gradnji ali konstrukcijskega materiala.
Table 4 shows that Gdańsk Shipyard has benefited from aid with a total nominal value of PLN 405030629,80 (about EUR 90 million) since 1 May 2004.
V tabeli 4 je prikazano, da je imela ladjedelnica Gdańsk od 1. maja 2004 koristi od pomoči v skupni nominalni vrednosti 405030629,80 PLN (približno 90 milijonov EUR).
The plan also provides for new State aid in the form of a PLN 46,7 million capital injection and a PLN 103,3 million loan.
Načrt določa tudi novo državno pomoč v obliki dokapitalizacije v višini 46, 7 milijona PLN in posojila v višini 103,3 milijona PLN.
Furthermore, the 2009 Restructuring Plan assumes that until the end of the restructuring period Gdańsk Shipyard will continue to benefit from Export Credit Insurance Corporation guarantees to a value of around PLN 180 million annually.
Poleg tega je v načrtu prestrukturiranja iz leta 2009 predvideno, da bo imela ladjedelnica Gdańsk do konca obdobja prestrukturiranja še naprej zagotovljena jamstva družbe Export Credit Insurance Corporation v višini približno 180 milijonov PLN letno.
It is assumed that the guarantee fees would be, in so far as possible, in line with the guarantee scheme approved by the Commission as free of State aid [28].
Predvideva se, da bodo jamstva čim bolj v skladu z jamstveno shemo, za katero je Komisija potrdila, da ne vsebuje državne pomoči [28].
Pursuant to this scheme, the premium charged to companies in the highest risk category but still eligible for guarantees under the scheme, is […] % for guarantees under 2 years and […] % for guarantees above 2 years.
V skladu s to shemo znaša premija, zaračunana družbam, ki so uvrščene v kategorijo največjega tveganja, vendar so še vedno upravičene do jamstev v okviru sheme, […] % za jamstva za manj kot 2 leti in […] % za jamstva za več kot 2 leti.
To conclude, the nominal value of all the restructuring aid measures is PLN 555030629,80 (PLN 405 million of aid already granted and PLN 150 million of planned aid) and the total nominal value of the Export Credit Insurance Corporation guarantees is approximately PLN 526 million (in nominal terms, PLN 346 million being the value of the guarantees already granted and PLN 180 million the maximum annual exposure of the Export Credit Insurance Corporation for these guarantees).
Nominalna vrednost vseh ukrepov pomoči za prestrukturiranje je 555030629,80 PLN (405 milijonov PLN že dodeljene pomoči in 150 milijonov PLN načrtovane pomoči), medtem ko je celotna nominalna vrednost jamstev družbe Export Credit Insurance Corporation približno 526 milijonov PLN (z nominalnega vidika znaša vrednost že dodeljenih jamstev 346 milijonov PLN, največja letna izpostavljenost družbe Export Credit Insurance Corporation za ta jamstva pa 180 milijonov PLN).

EVALUATION
OCENA
Point 3 of Annex IV to the Accession Treaty describes the interim mechanism procedure.
V točki 3 Priloge IV k Pristopni pogodbi je opisan postopek začasnega mehanizma.
It constitutes a legal framework for the assessment of aid schemes and individual aid measures which are put into effect in a new Member State before the date of its accession to the EU and are applicable after accession.
Ta zagotavlja pravni okvir za oceno programov pomoči in posameznih ukrepov pomoči, ki so začeli veljati v novi državi članici pred datumom pristopa k EU in veljajo tudi po pristopu.
Measures that were put into effect before accession and are not applicable after accession cannot be examined by the Commission either under the interim mechanism procedure or under the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty.
Ukrepov, ki so začeli veljati pred pristopom in ne veljajo po pristopu, Komisija ne more preverjati v skladu s postopkom začasnega mehanizma ali v skladu s postopkom iz člena 88(2) Pogodbe ES.
However, measures that were not put into effect before accession will be assessed by the Commission as notified aid or as unlawful aid pursuant to the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty.
Vendar bo Komisija ukrepe, ki niso začeli veljati pred pristopom, ocenjevala kot priglašeno pomoč ali kot nezakonito pomoč v skladu s postopkom iz člena 88(2) Pogodbe ES.
The criterion used to determine the point in time when a given measure was put into effect is the legally binding act by which the competent national authority undertakes to award aid [32].
Merilo za ugotavljanje, kdaj je nek ukrep začel veljati, je pravno zavezujoči akt, s katerim se pristojni nacionalni organ zaveže, da bo dodelil pomoč [32].
The Commission, however, must be able to review, especially in border-line cases, these administrative acts and, judging on their form and content, to assess whether they could have given rise to legitimate expectations on the part of the beneficiaries enforceable before a Polish court of law.
Vendar mora Komisija imeti možnost pregledati te upravne akte zlasti v čezmejnih primerih ter ob upoštevanju njihove oblike in vsebine oceniti, ali so lahko razlog za upravičena pričakovanja upravičencev, ki jih je mogoče uveljavljati pred poljskim sodiščem.
This capacity to review national administrative acts is indispensable for the exercise of the Commission’s exclusive competence to approve derogations from the general prohibition of State aid with regard to measures put into effect in Poland after 1 May 2004.
Ta možnost pregleda nacionalnih upravnih aktov je nujna za izvajanje izključne pristojnosti Komisije pri odobritvi odstopanj od splošne prepovedi državne pomoči v zvezi z ukrepi, ki so na Poljskem začeli veljati po 1. maju 2004.
A measure put into effect prior to accession is applicable after accession if it can still give rise to the award of additional aid or to an increase in the amount of aid already granted, i.e. if the precise economic exposure of the State is not known on the date on which the measure was put into effect and remains unknown on the date of accession.
Ukrep, ki je začel veljati pred pristopom, velja po pristopu, če lahko še vedno omogoči dodelitev dodatne pomoči ali povečanje zneska že dodeljene pomoči, tj. če točna gospodarska izpostavljenost države ni znana na datum začetka veljavnosti ukrepa in prav tako ni znana na datum pristopa.
In its decision to open the formal investigation, the Commission concluded, on the basis of the information provided by Poland, that a series of measures of which it had been notified on 8 October 2004 actually constituted new aid, either unlawful or notified, because it was granted after 1 May 2004, the date of Poland’s accession to the EU.
Komisija je v svoji odločitvi o začetku formalne preiskave na podlagi informacij, ki jih je predložila Poljska, ugotovila, da ukrepi, priglašeni 8. oktobra 2004, dejansko pomenijo novo nezakonito ali priglašeno pomoč, ker so bili dodeljeni po 1. maju 2004, tj. datumu pristopa Poljske k EU.
The comments provided by Poland and third parties after the investigation was opened did not lead the Commission to alter its conclusion.
Pripombe, ki so jih po začetku preiskave predložile Poljska in tretje strani, niso prepričale Komisije, da bi spremenila svojo sklepno ugotovitev.
Below the Commission indicates why it cannot accept the arguments put forward by Poland and the interested parties.
Komisija spodaj navaja, zakaj ne more sprejeti argumentov, ki so jih predložile Poljska in zainteresirane strani.
Restructuring of public-law debt under Chapter 5a
Prestrukturiranje dolga po javnem pravu v skladu s poglavjem 5a
The Commission agrees with the comment of Gdynia Shipyard Group that the event which gave rise to the partial write-off of public-law liabilities under Chapter 5a was the adoption of the restructuring decision by the Chairman of the IDA.
Komisija se strinja s pripombo skupine Gdynia, da je k delnemu odpisu javnopravnih obveznosti v skladu s poglavjem 5a prispevala odločba o prestrukturiranju, ki jo je sprejel predsednik ARP.
The Commission, however, cannot accept the statement that this decision was adopted on 30 April 2004, i.e. prior to Poland’s accession to the EU.
Vendar se Komisija ne more strinjati z izjavo, da je bila ta odločba sprejeta 30. aprila 2004, tj. pred pristopom Poljske k EU.
The Commission explained the reasons for its stance in the decision to open the formal investigation, and neither Poland nor the Gdynia Shipyard Group has submitted any further arguments which change this position.
Komisija je pojasnila razloge za svoje stališče v odločitvi o začetku formalne preiskave, pri čemer niti Poljska niti skupina Gdynia nista predložili dodatnih argumentov, ki bi spremenili to stališče.
The Commission reiterates that the decision of 30 April 2004 merely approved the March 2004 Restructuring Plan, and did not agree to the restructuring of public-law liabilities pursuant to Chapter 5a.
Komisija ponovno poudarja, da je bil v odločbi z dne 30. aprila 2004 odobren le načrt prestrukturiranja iz marca 2004, medtem ko prestrukturiranje javnopravnih obveznosti v skladu s poglavjem 5a ni bilo odobreno.
The Chairman of the IDA was not in a position to issue a complete restructuring decision before accession because, at that time, he did not possess, as required by Chapter 5a, either the agreement of all the relevant public-law creditors to the restructuring of their liabilities or the agreement of the Operator.
Predsednik ARP ne bi smel izdati odločbe o celotnem prestrukturiranju pred pristopom, ker takrat še ni imel soglasja vseh zadevnih javnopravnih upnikov o prestrukturiranju njihovih obveznosti ali soglasja subjekta, kot je določeno v poglavju 5a.
The Commission notes that the Chairman of the IDA recognised this fact when he mentioned in his decision of 30 April 2004 that a further decision would be necessary to complete restructuring of public-law liabilities under Chapter 5a and when he eventually issued the restructuring decision on 30 December 2004, i.e. after Poland’s accession to the EU.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je predsednik ARP priznal to dejstvo s tem, ko je v svoji odločbi z dne 30. aprila 2004 omenil, da bo za celotno prestrukturiranje javnopravnih obveznosti v skladu s poglavjem 5a potrebna dodatna odločba, in je odločbo o prestrukturiranju izdal 30. decembra 2004, tj. po pristopu Poljske k EU.
The Commission cannot accept the argument of Gdynia Shipyard Group that the agreement of all the public-law creditors to the restructuring of their receivables under Chapter 5a constituted the legally binding act required by Polish law.
Komisija se ne strinja z argumentom skupine Gdynia, da je soglasje vseh javnopravnih upnikov o prestrukturiranju njihovih denarnih terjatev v skladu s poglavjem 5a pomenilo pravno zavezujoči akt, ki se zahteva v skladu s poljsko zakonodajo.
Gdynia Shipyard Group argued that Chapter 5a was not lex specialis in relation to other laws permitting restructuring of public law liabilities and that the function of the Chairman of the Industrial Development Agency was to administer and facilitate the restructuring process, not to act for the relevant public-law creditors in respect of specific liabilities.
Skupina Gdynia je trdila, da poglavje 5a ni lex specialis glede na druge zakonodajne akte, ki omogočajo prestrukturiranje javnopravnih obveznosti, ter da je funkcija predsednika Agencije za industrijski razvoj upravljati in pospeševati postopek prestrukturiranja in ne delovati v imenu zadevnih javnopravnih upnikov v zvezi s posebnimi obveznostmi.
The Commission notes that this interpretation of Polish law is at odds with all the submissions from Poland to date and with the text and logic of Chapter 5a itself.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je ta razlaga poljske zakonodaje v nasprotju z vsemi dosedanjimi navedbami Poljske ter besedilom in smislom poglavja 5a.
Admittedly, as Gdynia Shipyard Group argued, the Act of 30 October 2002‘does not prohibit the restructuring authorities from issuing any write-off decisions in so far as they are allowed to do so by general provisions’.
Skupina Gdynia je trdila, da zakon z dne 30. oktobra 2002„organom za prestrukturiranje ne prepoveduje izdaje odločb o odpisu, če jim to dovoljujejo splošne določbe“.
Nevertheless, if they did so, those liabilities would no longer fall under Chapter 5a with all the advantages associated therewith: eligibility for a loan from the IDA, suspension of any ongoing enforcement proceedings, suspension of bankruptcy and non-accrual of interest on amounts due.
Vendar v tem primeru navedene obveznosti ne bi več spadale v področje uporabe poglavja 5a z vsemi povezanimi prednostmi, tj. upravičenostjo do posojila od ARP, prekinitvijo postopka izvršbe, prekinitvijo stečaja in nepripisanimi obrestmi od zapadlih zneskov.
The Commission cannot accept the argument of Gdynia Shipyard Group that no interest accrued after 30 June 2006 on the liabilities restructured under Chapter 5a.
Komisija se ne strinja z argumentom skupine Gdynia, da po 30. juniju 2006 zaradi obveznosti, ki so bile prestrukturirane v skladu s poglavjem 5a, niso nastale obresti.
This interpretation of Polish law has been rejected by Poland.
To razlago poljske zakonodaje je Poljska zavrnila.
Measure 23 of part B of Annex II to the decision to open the formal investigation
Ukrep št. 23 iz dela B Priloge II k odločitvi o začetku formalne preiskave
The Commission cannot accept Poland’s argument that this aid was granted de facto by virtue of the fact that all the relevant awarding authorities made verbal statements at a meeting of the Government working group on the restructuring of shipyards in Poland (the shipbuilding industry team).
Komisija se ne strinja z argumentom Poljske, da je bila ta pomoč dejansko dodeljena na podlagi dejstva, da so vsi zadevni organi, pristojni za dodelitev, predložili ustne izjave na srečanju vladne delovne skupine za prestrukturiranje ladjedelnic na Poljskem (skupina za ladjedelniško industrijo).
Such statements, if any, were purely verbal and further implementing measures were clearly necessary to create legitimate expectations under Polish law.
Takšne izjave, če so sploh bile predložene, so bile le ustne, pri čemer so bili v skladu s poljsko zakonodajo potrebni nadaljnji izvedbeni ukrepi, da se ustvarijo upravičena pričakovanja.
Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty states that any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods and affects trade between Member States is incompatible with the common market.
Člen 87(1) Pogodbe ES določa, da je vsaka pomoč, ki jo dodeli država članica, ali kakršna koli vrsta pomoči iz državnih sredstev, ki izkrivlja ali bi lahko izkrivljala konkurenco z dajanjem prednosti nekaterim podjetjem ali proizvodnji nekaterega blaga in vpliva na trgovino med državami članicami, nezdružljiva s skupnim trgom.
The Commission finds that all the aid described in recitals 105-170 and in Table 4 was granted by the State or through State resources and, being directed to one particular undertaking, was selective.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je vso pomoč, opisano v uvodnih izjavah 105–170 in tabeli 4, dodelila država ali je bila dodeljena iz državnih sredstev in namenjena določenemu podjetju, zaradi česar je selektivna.
Gdańsk Shipyard is a large European shipyard and a major competitor on the shipbuilding market.
Ladjedelnica Gdańsk je velika evropska ladjedelnica in pomemben konkurent na ladjedelniškem trgu.
After 1 May 2004 the yard continued building container ships, competing with shipyards in Germany and Denmark in particular, as Poland and Gdynia Shipyard Group have acknowledged and as was noted by Denmark and the Danish shipbuilding association in their comments on the Commission’s decision to open the formal investigation.
Ladjedelnica je po 1. maju 2004 nadaljevala z gradnjo kontejnerskih ladij, s čimer je konkurirala zlasti ladjedelnicam v Nemčiji in na Danskem, kot sta priznali Poljska in skupina Gdynia ter opozorila Danska in dansko ladjedelniško združenje v svojih pripombah glede odločitve Komisije o začetku formalne preiskave.
Container vessels accounted for 26 % of European shipyards’ order books at the end of 2006 [33].
Kontejnerska plovila so konec leta 2006 predstavljala 26 % naročil pri evropskih ladjedelnicah [33].
