As regards the possible applicability of the Community guidelines on State aid for environmental protection (see recital 20 above), the Italian authorities claimed that the excise duty reductions granted were in line with the provisions of these guidelines and could therefore be covered by the derogations laid down therein since, in their opinion, the matter concerned existing taxes within the meaning of point 51.2 of the guidelines.
Italijanski organi glede možne uporabe Smernic Skupnosti o državni pomoči za varstvo okolja (glej uvodno oizjavo 20 te obrazložitve) trdijo, da so odobrene nižje trošarinske stopnje v skladu z določbami teh smernic in bi zato zanje lahko veljala tu predvidena odstopanja, saj menijo, da gre za veljavne davke v smislu točke 51.2 Smernic.
This point provides that, where existing taxes are concerned, operating aid connected to reductions or exemptions may be authorised if the following two conditions are satisfied at the same time:
Ta točka določa, da se, ko gre za veljavne davke, pomoč za opravljanje dejavnosti, povezana z znižanjem ali oprostitvijo, lahko odobri, če sta hkrati izpolnjena dva pogoja:
That decision provides that ‘the excise taxes concerned may not have had an explicit environmental purpose from the outset and the exemptions were decided on […] well before the 2001 environmental aid guidelines became applicable. Therefore, their situation may be considered as if they had been decided at the time the excise tax was adopted. Consequently, in accordance with point 51.2 of the guidelines, the provisions in point 51.1 may be applied to the exemptions to be assessed in this decision’.
V skladu s to odločbo „zadevne trošarine od začetka morebiti niso imele izrecnega okoljskega namena in o oprostitvah se je odločalo […] mnogo pred začetkom uporabe smernic za okoljsko pomoč iz leta 2001. Zato se lahko šteje, da je bilo o oprostitvah odločeno v času sprejetja trošarine. Posledično se lahko v skladu s točko 51.2 Smernic določbe iz točke 51.1 uporabljajo za oprostitve, ki se presojajo v tej odločbi“.
The Italian authorities added that the excise duty reductions were decided on following a change in the economic situation (in particular an exponential rise in the price of oil) that placed glasshouse growers in a particularly difficult competitive situation as compared to farmers growing crops outdoors and led the authorities in other countries to adopt measures in favour of glasshouse growers and the fisheries sector.
Italijanski organi dodajajo, da je bilo znižanje trošarin sprejeto po spremembi gospodarskih razmer (zlasti zaradi eksponentnega zvišanja cene nafte), te so pridelovalce v rastlinjakih postavile v posebej občutljiv konkurenčen položaj v primerjavi s pridelovalci na prostem in zaradi teh so oblasti v drugih državah sprejele ukrepe za pomoč pridelovalcem v rastlinjakih in v ribištvu.
In that judgment (paragraph 86), the Court stated that ‘for the application of Article 87 EC, it is irrelevant that the situation of the presumed beneficiary of the measure is better or worse in comparison with the situation under the law as it previously stood, or has not altered over time. The only question to be determined is whether, under a particular statutory scheme, a State measure is such as to favour “certain undertakings or the production of certain goods” within the meaning of Article 87(1) EC in comparison with other undertakings which are in a legal and factual situation that is comparable in the light of the objective pursued by the measure in question’.
V presoji (točka 86) je Sodišče določilo: „Za namene uporabe člena 87 ES je brez pomena, da se položaj domnevnega upravičenca ukrepa izboljša ali poslabša v primerjavi s položajem, ki ga je imel po prej veljavnem pravu, ali nasprotno, se ne spremeni s potekom časa. Treba je zgolj določiti, ali, v okviru danega pravnega reda, državni ukrep lahko daje prednost ‚posameznim podjetjem ali proizvodnji posameznega blaga‘ v smislu člena 87(1) ES glede na ostala podjetja, ki so v primerljivem dejanskem in pravnem položaju glede cilja zadevnega ukrepa“
the decision to which the Italian authorities referred (see recital 52 above) concluded that State aid existed but could be approved on the basis of the derogation under Article 87(3)(c) of the Treaty.
je v odločbi, na katero se sklicujejo italijanski organi v točki 52 te obrazložitve, ugotovljeno, da obstaja državna pomoč, ki se jo lahko odobri na podlagi odstopanja iz člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe.
However, this derogation cannot be used to demonstrate that there are no State aid elements in the scheme under examination (this consideration also applies to the Italian authorities’ argument illustrated in recital 53 above),
Vendar to odstopanje ne velja kot dokaz, da v obravnavani shemi ni elementov državne pomoči (ta ugotovitev velja tudi za trditev italijanskih organov, ki je predstavljena v uvodni izjavi 53 te obrazložitve),
the data referred to in recital 54 above are not complete (14 regions out of 20) and there is nothing to say that they are representative: it is not actually possible to deduce whether the regions for which the data were supplied are the regions in which glasshouse growing is most widespread.
podatki, navedeni v uvodni izjavi 54 te obrazložitve, niso popolni (14 dežel od 20) in ni podlage za sklep, da so reprezentativni: dejansko ni mogoče sklepati, ali dežele, za katere so bili predloženi podatki, ustrezajo deželam, v katerih je pridelava v rastlinjakih najbolj razširjena.
Moreover, the data concerning consumption in the agricultural sector indicate instead that diesel is a significant agricultural input.
Poleg tega podatki o porabi v kmetijskem sektorju prej nakazujejo, da je plinsko olje pomembno sredstvo pri kmetijski pridelavi.
for the period from 3 October 2000 to 2 February 2001, the Community guidelines on State aid for environmental protection [18] that had been in force since 1994 (hereinafter ‘the 1994 guidelines’), for the period from 3 February 2001 to 31 December 2004, the Community guidelines on State aid for environmental protection [19] that had been in force since 2001 (hereinafter ‘the 2001 guidelines’).
za obdobje od 3. oktobra 2000 do 2. februarja 2001 Smernice o državni pomoči za varstvo okolja, ki veljajo od leta 1994 (v nadaljevanju Smernice iz leta 1994) [18],za obdobje od 3. februarja 2001 do 31. decembra 2004 Smernice o državni pomoči za varstvo okolja, ki veljajo od 3. februarja 2001 (v nadaljevanju Smernice iz leta 2001) [19].
again as regards the issue of distortion of competition, the Italian authorities asserted that, according to the official data available to them, the total exemption granted to glasshouse growers did not distort competition.
kar zadeva vidik izkrivljanja konkurence, italijanski organi trdijo, da na podlagi razpoložljivih uradnih podatkov popolna oprostitev, ki je bila odobrena pridelovalcem v rastlinjakih, ne izkrivlja konkurence.
In the Commission’s view, it is unclear how the Italian authorities can make such an argument since, in their reply sent by telex to the Commission on 10 June 2004 (see recital 14 above), they stated that they could not supply precise data on the sums that glasshouse growers could save as a result of the total exemption;
Komisija meni, da ni jasno, kako lahko omenjeni organi zagovarjajo to trditev, ko pa so v odgovoru službam Komisije, ki je bil poslan po telefaksu z dne 10. junija 2004 (glej uvodno izjavo 14 te obrazložitve), trdili, da ne morejo predložiti natančnih podatkov o zneskih, ki so jih pridelovalci v rastlinjakih lahko privarčevali zaradi popolne oprostitve;
adjustments to excise duties by Member States did not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty.
spreminjanje trošarin, ki ga izvajajo države članice, ni državna pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe.
OJ L 316, 31.10.1992, p. 19. The excise duties on diesel used for heating glasshouses are indicated in recital 43 above.
UL L 316, 31.10.1992, str. 19: Znesek trošarin za plinsko olje, ki se uporablja za ogrevanje rastlinjakov, je naveden v uvodni izjavi 43.
The conclusions of the Ecofin Council of 19 March 2003, according to which derogations from a general tax system or differences within it that were justified by the nature or general characteristics of the tax system did not constitute State aid, were a decisive factor confirming the primacy of the powers of the Community’s financial authorities. Accordingly, they would send information on the nature or general characteristics of the system to those financial authorities as soon as the latter requested them to do so;
Sklepi Sveta ECOFIN z dne 19. marca 2003, na podlagi katerih odstopanja od splošne davčne sheme ali diferenciacije v okviru te, ki jih upravičujejo narava ali splošne značilnosti davčne sheme, ne pomenijo državne pomoči, so odločilni dejavnik, ki potrjuje nadrejenost finančnih organov Skupnosti, zato bi italijanski organi podatke o naravi ali splošnih značilnostih sistema posredovali omenjenim finančnim organom takoj, ko bi jih ti zahtevali;

DESCRIPTION OF THE BENEFICIARY
OPIS UPRAVIČENCA
The Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (the Paris public transport operator, or ‘RATP’) is a French public enterprise which is wholly owned by the French State.
Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens (v nadaljnjem besedilu: RATP) je francosko javno podjetje, ki je v 100-odstotni lasti države.
It was established by Law No 48-506 of 21 March 1948 on the reorganisation and coordination of passenger transport in the Paris region [3], its aim being to ‘operate the public passenger transport networks and lines for which it has been assigned responsibility’ [4].
Ustanovljeno je bilo z zakonom št. 48-506 z dne 21. marca 1948 o prestrukturiranju in usklajevanju prevoza potnikov v pariški regiji [3], njegova dejavnost pa je „upravljanje omrežij in prog javnega potniškega prevoza, ki mu je bilo dodeljeno“ [4].
Under this Law, RATP's activities are limited to public transport in the Paris region.
S tem zakonom so bile dejavnosti RATP omejene na javni prevoz v pariški regiji.
Under Article 7 of Law No 48-506 of 21 March 1948, RATP is responsible for operating the public transport networks in the City of Paris and the Department of Seine and the lines in Seine-et-Oise and Seine-et-Marne previously granted or leased to the Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain or the Société des transports en commun de la région parisienne.
RATP v skladu s členom 7 zakona št. 48-506 z dne 21. marca 1948 skrbi za „upravljanje omrežij javnega prevoza v mestu Pariz in departmaju Seine ter prog v departmajih Seine-et-Oise in Seine-et-Marne, ki so bile prej s koncesijo ali v zakup dodeljene družbi Compagnie du chemin de fer métropolitain ali družbi Société des transports en commun de la région parisienne“.
This was confirmed by Order No 59-151 of 7 January 1959.
Ta položaj je bil znova potrjen z zgoraj omenjenim sklepom št. 59-151 z dne 7. januarja 1959.
However, RATP is able, via its subsidiaries, to provide services outside of the Ile-de-France region [5].
Vendar ima RATP možnost, da prek hčerinskih družb ponuja storitve zunaj regije Ile-de-France [5].
The RATP subsidiaries, which are formed as limited companies, are currently grouped into three main sectors, which employ approximately 2050 people, 170 of whom are seconded by head office:
Hčerinske družbe RATP, ustanovljene kot delniške družbe, so zdaj združene v tri velike skupine, ki zaposlujejo približno 2050 ljudi, od katerih jih je 170 napotila matična služba:
The Transport sector, managed by RATP Développement SA, whose turnover in 2005 was EUR 57 million, including EUR 4,7 million abroad and EUR 3,1 million in the French regions (i.e. outside of Ile-de-France).
skupina Transport (Prevoz), ki jo vodi družba RATP Développement SA, katere konsolidiran promet je v poslovnem letu 2005 obsegal 57 milijonov EUR, od tega 4,7 milijona na mednarodnem trgu in 3,1 milijona v regijah (Francija brez Ile-de-France);
The Engineering sector, managed by RATP International SA, whose consolidated turnover in 2005 was EUR 86 million; nearly 80 % of its activity took place abroad, with most of the remaining activity taking place outside Ile-de-France. The Space Utilisation sector, essentially comprising subsidiaries responsible for property development (on RATP-managed premises), the promotion of sales outlets in Metro stations and telecommunication activities.
skupina Ingénierie (Inženiring), ki jo vodi družba RATP International SA, katere konsolidiran promet je v poslovnem letu 2005 obsegal 86 milijonov EUR in ki skoraj 80 % dejavnosti izvaja na mednarodni ravni, preostalo pa v Franciji v glavnem zunaj regije Ile-de-France;
The consolidated turnover in 2005 for this sector was EUR 33 million (only in Ile-de-France).
skupina Valorisation des espaces (Valorizacija prostora), ki združuje predvsem hčerinske družbe, ki se ukvarjajo z razvojem nepremičnin (na zemljiščih, ki jih upravlja RATP), valorizacijo trgovskih delov postaj podzemne železnice in telekomunikacijske dejavnosti, ter katere konsolidiran promet je v letu 2005 obsegal 33 milijonov EUR, in sicer izključno v regiji Ile-de-France.
The RATP group employs a total of approximately 46050 people, 44000 of whom are employed by the RATP as staff in posts governed by service regulations, with the remaining 2050 people employed in RATP subsidiaries.
Skupina RATP zaposluje skupaj približno 46050 oseb, od katerih jih je 44000 zaposlenih v RATP kot uslužbenci, za katere veljajo kadrovski predpisi, drugi, to je 2050 oseb, pa delajo v hčerinskih družbah RATP.
The working conditions of staff in posts governed by service regulations are established on a regulatory basis in the RATP staff regulations [6].
Delovni pogoji za uslužbence, za katere veljajo kadrovski predpisi, so zakonsko določeni v kadrovskih predpisih RATP [6].
However, working conditions for the 2050 people employed by RATP subsidiaries are established on the basis of collective agreements, and therefore the RATP staff regulations do not apply to them.
Delovni pogoji za 2050 oseb, zaposlenih v hčerinskih družbah RATP, pa so, nasprotno, določeni v kolektivnih pogodbah in zato zanje ne veljajo kadrovski predpisi RATP.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT MARKET IN THE ILE-DE-FRANCE REGION
OPIS TRGA JAVNEGA PREVOZA V REGIJI ILE-DE-FRANCE
The Ile-de-France public transport market is currently not open to competition.
Trg javnega prevoza v regiji Ile-de-France zdaj ni odprt za konkurenco.
Licences to operate public transport lines have been allocated on the basis of the procedure provided for in Decree No 59-157 of 7 January 1959 on the organisation of passenger transport in the Ile-de-France region [7], which divided the public transport market in Ile-de-France between RATP and many private operators which were present in the region at the time.
Dovoljenja za upravljanje prog javnega prevoza so bila podeljena po postopku iz odloka št. 59-157 z dne 7. januarja 1959 o organizaciji prevoza potnikov v regiji Ile-de-France [7], s katerim je bil trg javnega prevoza v tej regiji razdeljen med RATP in številne male zasebne gospodarske subjekte, ki so takrat delovali v tej regiji.
In addition to RATP, approximately 100 companies provide public transport services in Ile-de-France.
Storitve javnega prevoza v regiji Ile-de-France poleg RATP izvaja še približno sto podjetij.
These companies are SNCF (the French national rail company) and private operators grouped collectively in the ‘OPTILE’ association (approximately 95 companies, including three major bus transport operators: Veolia Transport, Keolis and Transdev).
Ta podjetja so SNCF in zasebni gospodarski subjekti, združeni v združenju OPTILE (približno 95 podjetij, med katerimi so trije večji avtobusni prevozniki: Veolia Transport, Keolis in Transdev).
Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2007 on public passenger transport services by rail and by road and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) Nos 1191/69 and 1107/70 [8] (hereinafter ‘Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007’), provides for the public transport market to be gradually opened up.
Uredba (ES) št. 1370/2007 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 23. oktobra 2007 o javnih storitvah železniškega in cestnega potniškega prevoza ter o razveljavitvi uredb Sveta (EGS) št. 1191/69 in št. 1107/70 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Uredba (ES) št. 1370/2007) [8] predvideva postopno odpiranje trga javnega prevoza.
In accordance with Article 12 of the Regulation, it will come into force on 3 December 2009.
V skladu s členom 12 bo začela veljati 3. decembra 2009.
PROVISIONS OF THE SPECIAL PENSION SCHEME FOR RATP STAFF BEFORE AND AFTER THE NOTIFIED REFORM
DAJATVE IZ POSEBNEGA POKOJNINSKEGA SISTEMA ZA USLUŽBENCE RATP PRED PRIGLAŠENO REFORMO IN PO NJEJ
The RATP pension scheme is provided for in Article 31 of Law No 48-506 of 21 March 1948 (referred to above), and supplemented by Decree No 59-1091 of 23 September 1959 on the RATP statutes [9].
Pokojninski sistem RATP je določen v členu 31 zgoraj navedenega zakona št. 48-506 z dne 21. marca 1948, dopolnjenega z odlokom št. 59-1091 z dne 23. septembra 1959 o kadrovskih predpisih RATP [9].
In addition, changes to its rules, contributions and benefits, amongst other things, are the subject of regulatory provisions.
Poleg tega so spremembe parametrov, prispevkov in dajatev predmet predpisov.
Until 15 January 2008, the main differences between the special pension scheme for RATP staff and statutory schemes concerned how pension entitlements and the payment of pensions were calculated.
Glavne posebnosti posebnega pokojninskega sistema za uslužbence RATP v primerjavi s sistemi splošnega prava so se do 15. januarja 2008 nanašale na načine izračuna pravice do pokojnine in izplačila pokojnin.
In this regard, under statutory pension schemes, the pension amount is calculated on the basis of average salary during a person's whole career or part of it.
Pokojninski sistemi splošnega prava v zvezi s tem določajo, da se znesek pokojnine izračuna na podlagi povprečne plače med celotno delovno dobo ali delom te dobe.
The pension amount also depends on the period of insurance or on age, with overvaluation or undervaluation being applied if the sums established for these two criteria have not been met or have been exceeded.
Odvisen je tudi od zavarovalne dobe ali starosti, saj se popust ali premija uporabljata, kadar vrednosti, določene glede na ti merili, nista doseženi ali preseženi.
Consequently, under a general scheme, a pension is calculated on the basis of average salary (including bonuses) over a person's best 25 career years (subject to a maximum annual salary), with a rate of 50 % (full rate) being applied to the salary, if the insured person has contributed for at least 40 years.
Tako se v splošnem sistemu pokojnina izračuna na podlagi povprečne plače (skupaj z bonusi) v 25 najboljših letih delovne dobe (v okviru zgornje letne plače), stopnja, uporabljena za to plačo, je 50 % (polna stopnja), če ima zavarovanec najmanj 40 let zavarovalne dobe.
However, under the RATP pension scheme, staff in posts governed by service regulations were entitled, in respect of each year of insurance, to 2 % of basic salary (excluding bonuses) received during the last six months of employment, subject to a limit of 37,5 annual payments.
V pokojninskem sistemu RATP pa je bilo, nasprotno, določeno, da imajo zaposleni, za katere veljajo kadrovski predpisi, za vsako zavarovalno leto pravico do 2 % osnovne plače brez bonusov, ki so jo prejemali zadnjih šest mesecev dejavnosti v okviru 37,5 leta.
This means that an RATP employee, after 37,5 years of employment, would receive a pension corresponding to 75 % of final salary, excluding bonuses, i.e. approximately 64,5 % of final salary, including bonuses.
Zato je uslužbenec RATP po 37,5 leta dela prejel pokojnino v višini 75 % svoje zadnje plače brez bonusov oziroma skoraj 64,5 % zadnje plače skupaj z bonusi.
The fundamental principles of the reform established by the Law of 21 August 2003 [10] for almost all French pension schemes were extended to the RATP special pension scheme by Decrees 2008-48 of 15 January 2008 [11], 2008-637 of 30 June 2008 [12] and 2008-1514 of 30 December 2008 [13].
Temeljna načela reforme, izvedene z zakonom z dne 21. avgusta 2003 [10] za skoraj vse francoske osnovne pokojninske sisteme, so bila razširjena na posebni pokojninski sistem RATP z odloki št. 2008-48 z dne 15. januarja 2008 [11], št. 2008-637 z dne 30. junija 2008 [12] in št. 2008-1514 z dne 30. decembra 2008 [13].
One of the objectives of this reform was to harmonise special schemes operating on the basis of the statutory rules applying to staff employed in the private sector and civil servants.
Eden od ciljev te reforme je uskladitev posebnih sistemov s splošnimi predpisi o osnovnih sistemih za zaposlene v zasebnem sektorju in državne uslužbence.
