Since the introduction of the control, the total public resources allocated to France Télévisions have been insufficient to cover the net cost of discharging the public service obligations, so the question of the allocation of any overcompensation has not arisen.
Skupna javna sredstva, dodeljena skupini France Télévisions, od vzpostavitve nadzora niso zadoščala za pokritje neto stroškov izvajanja obveznosti javne službe, tako da se vprašanje morebitne dodelitve prekomernega nadomestila ni postavilo.
As regards the medium-term forecasts of the costs and revenues contained in the business plan and illustrated in Table 1 above, a slight surplus seems to be forecasted in 2012 which, if it materialises and is not needed to absorb the deficits forecasted for the years 2010 and 2011, should normally be earmarked as a priority for the expenditure on audiovisual creation.
Zdi se, da je v srednjeročnih napovedih stroškov in prihodkov, povzetih v poslovnem načrtu in navedenih v preglednici 1 zgoraj, za leto 2012 predviden majhen presežek, ki bi praviloma, če bi se uresničil in ne bi bil potreben za pokritje primanjkljajev, predvidenih za leti 2010 in 2011, moral biti prednostno dodeljen za stroške avdiovizualnega ustvarjanja.
In any case, to bring the existing mechanism into line with the specifications newly introduced in 2009 by the Broadcasting Communication, the French Republic undertakes to amend Article 2 of Decree No 2007- 958 of 15 May 2007:
Vsekakor se Francoska republika, da bi obstoječi mehanizem uskladila z novimi pojasnili, uvedenimi leta 2009 s sporočilom o radioteleviziji, zavezuje, da bo spremenila člen 2 odloka št. 2007-958 z dne 15. maja 2007, tako da bo:
to ensure that the annual report on the separate accounts, like the report provided for in Article 3, is audited by an external body, the choice of which is subject to the approval of the Minister for Communication, forwarded to this Minister and to the National Assembly and the Senate, and drawn up at the expense of France Télévisions,
zagotovila, da je letno poročilo o ločenih računih tako kot poročilo iz člena 3 predmet nadzora zunanje organizacije, katere izbiro odobri minister za komunikacije, ter da se poročilo predloži temu ministru, narodni skupščini in senatu in pripravi na stroške skupine France Télévisions,
to complete the specific functional mechanism to ensure the actual recovery of any overcompensation or cross-subsidisation arising from these separate accounts and not compatible with Article 53 of Law No 86-1067 of 30 September 1986 on Freedom of Communication or with the Broadcasting Communication.
izpopolnila funkcionalni mehanizem za zagotavljanje, da se morebitna prekomerna nadomestila in navzkrižno subvencioniranje, ki bi jih razkrili ločeni računi in ne bi bila skladna s členom 53 zakona št. 86-1067 z dne 30. septembra 1986 o svobodi komunikacij in sporočilom o radioteleviziji, dejansko vrnejo.
Under these conditions, it appears that the French Republic will have appropriate mechanisms in place to undertake regular, effective controls of the use of public funding to ensure that there is no overcompensation or cross-subsidisation, as provided for in the Broadcasting Communication.
V teh okoliščinah je očitno, da bo Francoska republika vzpostavila ustrezne mehanizme za izvajanje rednih in učinkovitih nadzorov porabe javnih sredstev, da bi preprečila prekomerna nadomestila ali navzkrižno subvencioniranje, kot je določeno v sporočilu o radioteleviziji.
In view of the above, it appears that the potential restrictions of competition attributable to the presence of France Télévisions in commercial markets where it will still operate after the reform has been implemented in full will be limited all told.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega je očitno, da bodo morebitne omejitve konkurence zaradi prisotnosti skupine France Télévisions na komercialnih trgih, kjer bo dejavna še po dokončanju reforme, navsezadnje omejene.
This presence will probably be very small-scale and the reform will have the foreseeable effect of transferring the demand for television advertising, even if only partially, to the competitors of France Télévisions.
Verjetno bo ta prisotnost zelo omejena, reforma pa bo predvidoma vsaj delno učinkovala tako, da se bo povpraševanje po oglaševanju na televiziji preneslo na konkurente skupine France Télévisions.
In fact, as pointed out in a letter made public by seven private television or radio broadcasters, continuing the reform to the end with the discontinuance of the advertising messages of France Télévisions would be liable to: ‘give the private media the ability to bounce back which they need’, whereas maintaining advertising messages: ‘would generate harmful consequences for all French media and would substantially change the economic prospects of the operators…’ [17].
Kot je navedeno v pismu, ki ga je objavilo sedem zasebnih radiev oziroma televizij, bi dokončanje reforme z ukinitvijo oglasnih sporočil na France Télévisions „zasebnim medijem dalo zagon, ki ga potrebujejo“, medtem ko bi ohranitev oglasnih sporočil „imela škodljive posledice za vse francoske medije in bi bistveno spremenila gospodarske možnosti akterjev…“ [17].
In other words, the partial withdrawal of France Télévisions and the refocusing of the structure of its revenues – commercial or public from compensation – on the broadcasting of programmes corresponding to its general interest mission without direct financial quid pro quo for the viewing public, reduce the potential restrictions of competition on the competitive markets in which France Télévisions operates.
Z drugimi besedami, delni umik skupine France Télévisions in osredotočenje na ravni strukture prihodkov – komercialnih prihodkov ali javnih nadomestil – na razširjanje programov, ki ustrezajo njeni nalogi splošnega pomena, in to brez neposrednega finančnega prispevka za gledalstvo, zmanjšujeta morebitne omejitve konkurence na konkurenčnih trgih, na katerih deluje skupina France Télévisions.
This withdrawal opens up a gap which could be filled by new entrants or operators with small-scale presence on the advertising market at present, increasing the dynamism of competition in the future.
S tem umikom se odpira prostor, ki bi ga lahko prevzeli novi udeleženci ali akterji, ki so trenutno manj prisotni na oglaševalskem trgu, in dolgoročno razgibali konkurenco.
It results from this that, in the light of the information supplied and the commitments entered into by the French Republic, the public funding will be intended to enable France Télévisions to cover the net costs incurred to perform the obligations incumbent upon it and this funding will have to be confined to these costs and will remain subject to ex post controls which meet the criteria of the Broadcasting Communication applicable.
Iz tega izhaja, da bo glede na predložene podatke in zaveze, ki jih je sprejela Francoska republika, cilj javnega financiranja skupini France Télévisions omogočiti, da krije neto stroške, nastale zaradi izvajanja njenih obveznosti, financiranje pa bo moralo biti omejeno na te stroške in bo predmet naknadnih nadzorov, ki izpolnjujejo merila iz veljavnega sporočila o radioteleviziji.
In addition, since France Télévisions will reduce its presence in the competitive markets, the envisaged aid is not liable to affect the development of trade to an extent contrary to the interest of the Union, thereby fulfilling the conditions for the application of Article 106(2) of the TFEU.
Ker bo skupina France Télévisions poleg tega manj prisotna na konkurenčnih trgih, predvidena pomoč ne bo mogla tako vplivati na razvoj trgovine, da bi to bilo v nasprotju z interesom Unije, s čimer so izpolnjeni pogoji uporabe člena 106(2) PDEU.
Furthermore, the French Republic undertakes to provide the Commission with an annual report until 2013, on which date the reform of public broadcasting will have been completed, which will allow monitoring of the aspects of the implementation of the reform which are the most relevant in terms of the state aid rules, i.e. the annual compensation and the ex post control mechanisms, the conditions applied by France Télévisions to its commercial activities and the change in its position on this market, as well as the annual implementation of the agreement relating to objectives and means.
Poleg tega se Francoska republika zavezuje, da bo Komisiji predložila letna poročila do leta 2013, ko bo končana reforma javnih avdiovizualnih medijev, kar bo omogočilo spremljanje vidikov izvajanja reforme, ki so najpomembnejši z vidika pravila o državnih pomočeh, to so letna nadomestila in mehanizmi naknadnega nadzora, pogoji, pod katerimi skupina France Télévisions opravlja komercialne dejavnosti, razvoj njenega položaja na trgu in letno izvajanje pogodbe o ciljih in sredstvih.
In view of the scale of the reform, the innovations it introduces concerning the financing of the service mission of France Télévisions, its consequences on the trend in costs and revenues of France Télévisions and the uncertain economic environment of the markets affecting the commercial revenues of France Télévisions and its competitors, this commitment is of a nature to enable the Commission to verify the implementation of the reform and to monitor it very closely, as well as the implementation of the commitments assumed by the French Republic under this procedure.
Ta zaveza lahko ob upoštevanju obsežnosti reforme, inovacij, ki jih uvaja v financiranje storitve, ki jo opravlja skupina France Télévisions, njenih posledic za gibanje stroškov in prihodkov skupine France Télévisions ter negotovega gospodarskega okolja na trgih, ki vpliva na komercialne prihodke skupine France Télévisions in njenih konkurentov, Komisiji omogoči, da preverja in pozorno spremlja izvajanje reforme ter zavez, ki jih je Francoska republika sprejela v tem postopku.
The new taxes provided for by the reform of public broadcasting
Nova davka, predvidena v reformi javnih avdiovizualnih medijev
In its decision initiating the procedure, the Commission had expressed doubts concerning the existence of possible earmarking between the revenues from the new taxes on advertising and electronic communications and the annual grant to be paid from 2010 to France Télévisions.
Komisija je v sklepu o začetku postopka izrazila pomisleke glede morebitnega obstoja vsebinske povezave med prihodki iz novih davkov na oglaševanje in elektronske komunikacije in letno pomočjo, ki se od leta 2010 izplačuje skupini France Télévisions.
Such a link, if it could be established, would mean that these taxes would have to be considered as constituting an integral part of the aid and subject to the test of compatibility of the latter with the internal market.
Taka povezava, če bi jo bilo mogoče dokazati, bi povzročila, da bi bilo treba ta davka šteti za sestavni del pomoči in da zanju velja proučitev združljivosti te pomoči z notranjim trgom.
Although the existence of such a link could be precluded for 2009, in view in particular of the date of entry into force and implementation of Law No 2009-258 of 5 March 2009 on public broadcasting, a doubt remained for the future, given the declarations made by the highest French authorities.
Čeprav je zlasti ob upoštevanju datuma začetka veljavnosti in izvajanja zakona št. 2009-258 z dne 5. marca 2009 o javnih avdiovizualnih medijih mogoče izključiti obstoj take povezave za leto 2009, bi glede na izjave najvišjih francoskih organov ostal dvom glede prihodnosti.
In French law, under Article 36 of the Organic Law of 1 August 2001 on Finance Laws, the allocation in whole or in part of a resource established in favour of the French State to another legal person may result only from a provision of a finance law.
Po francoskem pravu je v skladu s členom 36 sistemskega zakona z dne 1. avgusta 2001 o zakonu o javnih financah dodelitev francoskih državnih sredstev drugi pravni osebi mogoča le na podlagi določbe zakona o javnih financah.
The finance law should therefore provide explicitly that the proceeds from the taxes on advertising and electronic communications introduced by Law No 2009-258 of 5 March 2009 will be earmarked in whole or in part for the financing of France Télévisions.
Zakon o javnih financah bi torej moral izrecno določati, da bo prihodek od davkov na oglaševanje in elektronske komunikacije, ki sta bila uvedena z zakonom št. 2009-258 z dne 5. marca 2009, delno ali v celoti dodeljen za financiranje skupine France Télévisions.
No such provision has been adopted to date.
Do sedaj taka določba ni bila sprejeta.
For the future, the French Republic commits to renotifying the Commission of any plans to change the architecture of the regime, in accordance with Article 108(3) of the TFEU.
Francoska republika se zavezuje, da bo v prihodnosti v skladu z določbami člena 108(3) PDEU Komisiji poslala novo uradno obvestilo o kakršni koli načrtovani spremembi strukture pomoči.
Under these conditions, hypothecation of the new taxes to the notified aid under national law cannot be established, within the meaning of the case-law of the Court.
V teh okoliščinah ni mogoče dokazati zavezujoče vsebinske povezave med priglašeno pomočjo in novima davkoma na podlagi nacionalnega prava v smislu sodne prakse Sodišča.
In addition, it appears that the decisive criterion to determine the annual amount of budgetary grant, cumulated with the amount provided for from the television licence fee, will be the amount of the net costs of the public service obligations entrusted to France Télévisions and not that of the revenue obtained from the new taxes.
Še več, očitno je, da bo prevladujoče merilo za določitev letnega zneska proračunske pomoči, ki bo dopolnil predvideni znesek sredstev, dodeljenih iz televizijske naročnine, merilo zneska neto stroškov obveznosti javne službe, ki jih nosi skupina France Télévisions, in ne merilo prihodkov iz novih davkov.
The estimated public service costs are and will be the subject of ex ante estimates in the agreement relating to objectives and means under Article 53 of Law No 86-1067 of 30 September 1986, amended, on Freedom of Communication, the annual grant provided for a draft finance law will be calibrated according to the estimated net costs and the balance between estimates and results will have to be established and, if necessary, corrected ex post in the report provided for on the implementation of Article 2 of Decree No 2007-958 of 15 May 2007 on the financial relations between the State and public sector bodies in the audiovisual communication sector.
Predvideni stroški javne storitve so in bodo ocenjeni v pogodbi o ciljih in sredstvih na podlagi člena 53 spremenjenega zakona št. 86-1067 z dne 30. septembra 1986 o svobodi komunikacij, letna pomoč, predvidena v osnutku zakona o javnih financah, bo usklajena s predvidenimi neto stroški, treba pa bo ugotoviti skladnost napovedi in poslovnih izidov, in če je smiselno, to naknadno popraviti v okviru poročila, predvidenega za izvajanje člena 2 odloka št. 2007-958 z dne 15. maja 2007 o finančnih odnosih med državo in organizacijami v javnem avdiovizualnem sektorju.
Since the costs are incurred independently of the resources levied as taxes, the proceeds from the taxes cannot have a direct impact on the amount of aid.
Ker stroški nastanejo neodvisno od sredstev, zbranih z davkoma, prihodek iz davkov ne more neposredno vplivati na znesek pomoči.
It appears moreover that the rates of the taxes initially provided for by the French Government have been reduced in the final law passed by Parliament, without this being translated into a concomitant, proportional reduction in the grant to be paid for France Télévisions.
Poleg tega je očitno, da so davčne stopnje v zakonu, ki ga je izglasoval parlament, nižje od davčnih stopenj, ki jih je sprva predvidela francoska vlada, ne da bi se to kazalo kot istočasno in sorazmerno znižanje pomoči, ki se izplačuje skupini France Télévisions.
In the light of the above, the taxes on advertising and electronic communications introduced by Law No 2009-258 of 5 March 2009 do not constitute an integral part of the aid and consequently do not have to be integrated into the examination of the compatibility of the aid with the internal market, contrary to the assertions of certain interested third parties, i.e. the ACT, the FFTCE, the Association des chaînes privées, M6 and TF1.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega davka na oglaševanje in elektronske komunikacije, uvedena z zakonom št. 2009-258 z dne 5. marca 2009, nista sestavni del pomoči in zato ne smeta biti vključena v presojo združljivosti te pomoči z notranjim trgom v nasprotju s trditvami nekaterih zainteresiranih tretjih strani, to je ACT, FFTCE, združenja zasebnih televizij, M6 in TF1.
This conclusion is without prejudice to the compatibility of these taxes and their specific provisions as separate measures with Union law, in particular concerning the tax on electronic communications, in respect of the questions examined in the context of infringement procedure No 2009/5061, in the light of Directive 2002/20/EC or Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services [19].
Ta ugotovitev ne posega v združljivost teh davkov in njunih posebnih določb kot ločenih ukrepov s pravom Unije, zlasti – kar zadeva davek na elektronske komunikacije – v zvezi z vprašanji, ki so bila proučena v okviru postopka za ugotavljanje kršitev št. N 2009/5061, ob upoštevanju Direktive 2002/20/ES ali Direktive Evropskega parlamenta in sveta 2002/21/ES z dne 7. marca 2002 o skupnem regulativnem okviru za elektronska komunikacijska omrežja in storitve [19].
Furthermore, the Commission notes the declaration by France excluding these taxes from the scope of its notification, which is the subject of the present Decision.
Poleg tega je Komisija seznanjena z izjavo Francije o izključitvi teh davkov s področja priglasitve, ki je predmet tega sklepa.
CONCLUSIONS
UGOTOVITEV
In the light of the above, the Commission concludes that the annual budgetary grant in favour of France Télévisions, implemented as indicated above, can be declared compatible with the internal market under Article 106(2) of the TFEU, according to the principles and rules for application laid down for public broadcasting services,
Ob upoštevanju navedenega Komisija ugotavlja, da se letna proračunska pomoč skupini France Télévisions, ki se izvaja v skladu z zgornjimi navedbami, lahko razglasi za združljivo z notranjim trgom na podlagi člena 106(2) PDEU v skladu z načeli in pravili, določenimi za storitve javne radiotelevizije –
The State aid which the French Republic is considering implementing in favour of France Télévisions in the form of an annual budgetary grant in implementation of Article 53, Section VI of Law No 86-1067 of 30 September 1986, amended, on Freedom of Communication is compatible with the internal market in accordance with Article 106(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Državna pomoč, ki jo Francoska republika namerava izvajati za skupino France Télévisions v obliki letne proračunske pomoči na podlagi točke VI člena 53 spremenjenega zakona št. 86-1067 z dne 30. septembra 1986 o svobodi komunikacij, je združljiva z notranjim trgom v skladu s členom 106(2) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
The implementation of this aid is consequently authorised.
Izvajanje te pomoči se zato odobri.

On 13 March 2009, the Commission requested additional information, which France provided on 25 May 2009.
Komisija je 13. marca 2009 zaprosila za dodatne informacije, ki jih je Francoska republika predložila 25. maja 2009.
In this letter, the French Republic extended the object of the notification, expressing its intention to introduce a permanent, multiannual public financing mechanism in favour of France Télévisions, part of which will be an annual grant.
V tem dopisu je Francoska republika razširila predmet priglasitve in navedla, da namerava vzpostaviti trajni in večletni mehanizem javnega financiranja skupine France Télévisions, v katerega bo vključena letna pomoč.
It nevertheless constitutes a separate measure from those covered by the 2003, 2005 and 2008 decisions.
Vendar se ta ukrep razlikuje od ukrepov, ki so bili predmet odločb iz let 2003, 2005 in 2008.
More specifically, the budgetary grants described in more detail below will replenish the public resources allocated to France Télévisions under the television licence fee (contribution à l’audiovisuel public), previously known as the redevance, which was the subject of the Commission Decision of 20 April 2005 and which, as existing aid, is not modified by the new provisions.
S proračunskimi pomočmi, podrobneje opisanimi v nadaljevanju, se bodo zlasti povečala javna sredstva, dodeljena skupini France Télévisions iz naslova televizijske naročnine (redevance audiovisuelle, zdaj contribution à l’audiovisuel public), ki je bila predmet odločbe Komisije z dne 20. aprila 2005 in ki kot veljavna pomoč ni bila spremenjena z novimi določbami.
These two public resources are intended to cover the cost of the public service mission of France Télévisions, reduced by the net commercial revenues remaining.
Namen teh dveh javnih virov je pokrivati stroške naloge javne službe, ki jih opravlja skupina France Télévisions, od katerih se odštejejo ustvarjeni čisti komercialni prihodki.
Following the reform, the current agreement in respect of objectives and means was the subject of a rider for the period 2009-2012.
Po reformi je bil k veljavni pogodbi o ciljih podpisan dodatek za obdobje 2009–2012.
