the amount of compensation includes all advantages granted by the State or through State resources in any form whatsoever — irrespective of their classification for the purposes of Article 107 of the TFEU,
znesek nadomestila vključuje vse ugodnosti, ki jih dodeli država, ali kakršno koli vrsto ugodnosti iz državnih sredstev – ne glede na njihovo razvrstitev za namene člena 107 PDEU,
the amount of compensation must be actually used for the operation of the service of general economic interest concerned.
znesek nadomestila se mora dejansko uporabiti za izvajanje zadevne storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
Public service compensation used to operate on other markets is not justified, and consequently constitutes incompatible State aid.
Nadomestilo javne storitve, ki se uporabi za izvajanje na drugih trgih, ni upravičeno in zato pomeni nezdružljivo državno pomoč.
The Commission observes that the necessity and proportionality requirements have not been complied with in this case.
Komisija ugotavlja, da zahtevi nujnosti in sorazmernosti nista bili združljivi s to zadevo.
Belgium has admitted that no parameters had been defined for the compensation.
Belgija je priznala, da za nadomestila ni bil določen noben parameter.
The Belgian authorities have further explained to the Commission that it was not possible to determine the costs incurred in discharging the public service obligations and the receipts for discharging those obligations.
Belgijski organi so Komisiji dodatno pojasnili, da ni bilo mogoče določiti stroškov, ki so nastali pri opravljanju obveznosti javnih storitev, in prejemkov za opravljanje teh obveznosti.
The Commission further observes that AGVO does not operate separate accounts for its various categories of activities.
Komisija nadalje ugotavlja, da družba AGVO ne vodi ločenih računov za različne kategorije dejavnosti.
Consequently, compensation for public service obligations can be used to operate on other markets.
Zato se nadomestila za obveznosti javnih storitev lahko uporabijo pri izvajanju na drugih trgih.
Several elements in the file indicate that there has actually been overcompensation.
Več podatkov v dokumentu kaže na to, da je dejansko šlo za čezmerna nadomestila.
For instance, so far as free guarantees for loans are concerned, it has been established in paragraphs 186 et seq of this Decision that guaranteed loans could be used and have been used for other purposes than the intended initial purpose.
Na primer, v zvezi z brezplačnimi garancijami za posojila je bilo v skladu z uvodno izjavo 186 tega sklepa in naslednjimi ugotovljeno, da bi se zajamčena posojila lahko uporabila in so se uporabila za druge namene ter ne za prvotno načrtovani namen.
Since the amount of capital put into EVO (EUR 3969000) and the price paid to buy the PAKHUIZEN shares (EUR 350000) (in total: EUR 4319000) go beyond the amount of capital actually paid to AGVO (EUR 3596665,62), AGVO has necessarily used loans and possibly tax duties in order to finance them.
Ker poleg tega znesek kapitala, vloženega v družbo EVO (3969000 EUR), in cena, plačana za nakup delnic družbe PAKHUIZEN (350000 EUR) (skupaj: 4319000) presegata znesek kapitala, dejansko plačanega družbi AGVO (3596665,62 EUR), je družba AGVO v vsakem primeru morala za financiranje uporabiti posojila in morda tudi davčne dajatve.
For the above reasons, the Commission cannot consider the aid measures to be compatible with the conditions imposed in Article 106(2) of the TFEU.
Komisija zaradi navedenih razlogov ukrepov pomoči ne more šteti kot združljivih s pogoji, določenimi v členu 106(2) PDEU.
AID GRANTED TO EVO
POMOČ, DODELJENA DRUŽBI EVO
As regards the State aid granted by the City and by AGVO to EVO, it is necessary for the assessment to distinguish between the various actions and the dates on which they took place.
V zvezi z državno pomočjo, ki sta je mesto in družba AGVO dodelila družbi EVO, je treba pri oceni razlikovati med različnimi dejavnostmi in datumi, na katere so bile izvedene.
The following decisions need to be assessed under the 2001 Guidelines:
Naslednje odločitve je treba oceniti v skladu s Smernicami iz leta 2001:
the decisions taken by the City to provide a free guarantee for loans on 28 June 2002, 27 September 2002 and 23 April 2004,
odločitve, ki jih je mesto sprejelo za zagotovitev brezplačnih garancij za posojila, z dne 28. junija in 27. septembra 2002 ter 23. aprila 2004,
the decision taken by AGVO to allow EVO from 8 August 2002 onward continuous free use of the buildings owned by AGVO of a total of 13600 m2,
odločitev, ki jo je sprejela družba AGVO, da se družbi EVO od 8. avgusta 2002 naprej omogoči stalna brezplačno uporaba stavb v lasti družbe AGVO v skupni velikosti 13600 m2,
the decision taken by AGVO to provide EVO with a starting capital of EUR 371840 on 22 August 2002.
odločitev, ki jo je 22. avgusta 2002 sprejela družba AGVO, da se družbi EVO zagotovi začetni kapital v višini 371840 EUR.
The following decisions need to be assessed under the 2004 Guidelines:
Naslednje odločitve je treba oceniti v skladu s Smernicami iz leta 2004:
the decisions taken by the City to provide a free guarantee for a loan on 22 April 2005,
odločitve, ki jih je mesto sprejelo 22. aprila 2005, za zagotovitev brezplačnih garancij za posojilo,
the decisions taken by AGVO to increase EVO’s capital by a remission of debts on 31 December 2004, 31 December 2005, 21 December 2007.
odločitve, ki jih je družba AGVO sprejela 31. decembra 2004, 31. decembra 2005 in 21. decembra 2007, z namenom povečanja kapitala družbi EVO s povračilom dolgov.
The following decision need to be assessed under both the 2001 and 2004 Guidelines:
Naslednjo odločitev je treba oceniti v skladu s smernicami iz leta 2001 in 2004:
the decisions taken by AGVO to provide free guarantees for loans of EUR 600000 between 22 August 2002 and 3 August 2006.
odločitve, ki jih je družba AGVO sprejela med 22. avgustom 2002 in 3. avgustom 2006 za zagotovitev brezplačnih garancij za posojila v višini 600000 EUR.
The following decision need to be assessed under both the 2004 and 2008 Guidelines:
Naslednjo odločitev je treba oceniti v skladu s smernicami iz leta 2004 in 2008:
the decision taken by the City to provide a free guarantee for a loan of EUR 78000 between 27 September 2007 and 4 September 2008.
odločitev, ki jo je mesto sprejelo med 27. septembrom 2007 in 4. septembrom 2008 za zagotovitev brezplačne garancije za posojilo v višini 78000 EUR.
Guarantees for loans, right to use the fish auction free of charge
Garancije za posojila, pravica do brezplačne uporabe stavbe dražbe rib
According to point 1.2 of the 2001 Fisheries Guidelines and point 3.7 of the 2004 Fisheries Guidelines State, aid which is granted without imposing any obligation on the part of recipients and which is intended to improve the situation of the undertakings and increase their business liquidity or is calculated on the quantity produced or marketed, product prices, units produces or the means of production, and which has the effect of reducing the recipient’s production costs or improving the recipients income is, as operating aid, incompatible with the internal market.
V skladu s točko 1.2 Smernic za ribištvo iz leta 2001 in točko 3.7 Smernic za ribištvo iz leta 2004 državna pomoč, ki se odobri brez obveznosti za prejemnike ter je namenjena izboljšanju stanja podjetij in povečanju njihove poslovne likvidnosti ali ki se izračuna na podlagi proizvedene ali tržene količine, cen proizvodov, proizvedenih enot ali sredstev proizvodnje ter ima učinek zmanjšanja proizvodnih stroškov ali povečanja dohodka prejemnika, pomeni operativno pomoč, nezdružljivo z notranjim trgom.
According to point 3.4 of the 2008 Fisheries Guidelines, operating aid which, for example, increases the business liquidity of the recipient or is calculated on the quantity produced or marketed, product prices, units produces or the means of production, and which has the effect of reducing the recipient’s production costs or improving the recipients income is in principle incompatible with the internal market.
V skladu s točko 3.4 Smernic za ribištvo iz leta 2008 je pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, ki na primer povečuje poslovno likvidnost prejemnika ali se izračuna na podlagi proizvedene ali tržene količine, cene proizvodov, proizvedenih enot ali sredstev proizvodnje in ki ima učinek zmanjšanja prejemnikovih stroškov proizvodnje ali izboljšanja dohodka prejemnika, načeloma nezdružljiva z notranjim trgom.
It may be considered compatible only if the aid clearly and firmly contributes to serving the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy.
Taka pomoč se lahko šteje za združljivo le, če jasno in trdno prispeva k ciljem skupne ribiške politike.
From the information available it appears that the free guarantees for loans and the right to use the fish auction, free of charge, have been granted without imposing any particular obligation on EVO that would render the aid compatible with any of the conditions laid down in the Fisheries Guidelines.
Na podlagi dostopnih informacij se zdi, da so bile brezplačne garancije za posojila in pravica do brezplačne uporabe stavbe dražbe rib odobrene brez obveznosti za družbo EVO, ki bi pomoč označila kot združljivo s katerim koli pogojem iz Smernic za ribištvo.
Indeed, the free guarantees for loans appear to have been granted on mere demand for loans serving various purposes and do not seem to have been subject to any particular conditions or obligations.
Prav tako se zdi, da so bile brezplačne garancije za posojila odobrene glede na samo povpraševanje za posojila za različne namene, za katere naj ne bi veljali nobeni posebni pogoji ali obveznosti.
The information provided by the Belgian authorities even shows that the fact that the guaranteed loan was finally used for a purpose different from the purpose initially announced did not result in any sanction or annulment of the guarantee.
Informacije, ki so jih predložili belgijski organi, celo kažejo, da kljub dejstvu, da je bilo zajamčeno posojilo nazadnje uporabljeno v druge namene, kot je bilo prvotno objavljeno, ni bilo nobene sankcije ali razveljavitve garancije.
For example, it appears that even though it was first announced that the loan of EUR 1795000 provided by Fortis was intended among others to buy additional machines and fish crates and to finance several modification works, it (or at least a part of it) was actually used to grant loans to owners of vessels.
Na primer, zdi se, da je bilo kljub prvotni objavi glede posojila v višini 1795000 EUR, ki ga je zagotovil Fortis in naj bi bil med drugim namenjen nakupu dodatnih strojev in zabojev za ribe ter financiranju obsežnejših prilagoditvenih del, to posojilo dejansko uporabljeno (vsaj en del) za odobritev posojil lastnikom plovil.
The guarantee has not been retracted and guarantees have been provided also after this situation occurred without apparently prompting the City to impose any conditions on EVO for the guarantee.
Garancija ni bila umaknjena in garancije so bile zagotovljene tudi po tem dogodku, ne da bi mesto za družbo EVO uvedlo kakršne koli pogoje za garancijo.
The free guarantees have increased the business liquidity of EVO; not only did it not have to pay for the guarantee it appears also appears that, without the guarantee, EVO would not have obtained the loans.
Brezplačne garancije so povečale poslovno likvidnost družbe EVO, saj ji ni bilo treba plačati za garancijo in kot se poleg tega zdi, družba EVO brez garancije ne bi dobila posojil.
Also the right to use the auction building, free of charge, has increased EVO’s liquidities, since it was spared the costs of the rent that it would have otherwise had to pay under market conditions.
Pravica do brezplačne uporabe stavbe dražbe je prav tako povečala likvidnost družbe EVO, saj je prihranila pri stroških najemnine, ki bi jo morala sicer plačati v skladu s tržnimi pogoji.
The Commission does not see how the free guarantees of the right to use the buildings, free of charge, can be considered contributing to the objectives of Common Fisheries Policy.
Komisija ne razume, kako bi lahko brezplačne garancije za pravice do brezplačne uporabe stavb prispevale k ciljem skupne ribiške politike.
The Belgian authorities have not submitted any information in this regard.
Belgijski organi v zvezi s tem niso predložili nobenega podatka.
The Belgian authorities have submitted that the measures had to be assessed in the framework of the restructuring of the fish auction.
Belgijski organi so navedli, da morajo biti ukrepi obravnavani v okviru prestrukturiranja dražbe rib.
First, it must be assessed whether EVO would be eligible under the Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines.
Najprej je treba oceniti, ali je družba EVO upravičena v skladu s Smernicami za reševanje in prestrukturiranje.
EVO could be considered a company in difficulty within the meaning of the 1999 and 2004 R & R Guidelines respectively.
Družba EVO se lahko obravnava kot družba v težavah v smislu smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje iz let 1999 in 2004.
According to point 8 of the 1999 R & R Guidelines and point 13 of the 2004 R & R Guidelines, a company belonging to a larger business group is normally not eligible for rescue or restructuring aid.
V skladu s točko 8 Smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje iz leta 1999 in točko 13 Smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje iz leta 2004 družba, ki je del večje poslovne skupine, navadno ni upravičena do pomoči za reševaje ali prestrukturiranje.
It could, however, be eligible if it has been created by a firm in difficulty.
Kljub temu bi bila lahko upravičena, če bi jo ustanovila družba v težavah.
The free guarantees for loans and the right to use the fish auction, free of charge, must therefore be considered operating aid in the sense of the 2001, 2004 and 2008 Fisheries Guidelines and do not contribute to serving the objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy.
Brezplačne garancije za posojila in pravica do brezplačne uporabe stavbe dražbe rib se morajo zato obravnavati kot pomoč za tekoče poslovanje v smislu smernic za ribištvo iz leta 2001, 2004 in 2008, pri čemer ne prispevajo k ciljem skupne ribiške politike.
They are thus not compatible with the internal market.
Zato niso združljive z notranjim trgom.
EVO was established in the framework of the restructuring of the Ostend fish auction.
Družba EVO je bila ustanovljena v okviru prestrukturiranja dražbe rib v Ostendeju.
The Belgian authorities have moreover confirmed that part of the initial capital of AGVO (i.e. EUR 371840) was used as initial capital for the establishment of EVO and for subsequent capital increases.
Belgijski organi so poleg tega potrdili, da se je del začetnega kapitala družbe AGVO (tj. 371840 EUR) uporabil kot začetni kapital za ustanovitev družbe EVO in naknadna povečanja kapitala.
Hence, it is to be assessed whether the initial capital and subsequent capital increases could be considered Rescue and Restructuring aid within the meaning of the 1999 R & R Guidelines and the 2004 R & R Guidelines respectively.
Zato je treba oceniti, ali se lahko začetni kapital in naknadna povečanja kapitala obravnavajo kot pomoč za reševanje in prestrukturiranje v smislu Smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje iz leta 1999 in Smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje iz leta 2004.
EVO, together with AGVO, can be considered a company in difficulty within the meaning of the 1999 R & R Guidelines and the 2004 R & R Guidelines respectively as described in point 10.2.2.1.
Družba EVO se lahko skupaj z družbo AGVO obravnava kot družba v težavah v smislu smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje iz let 1999 in 2004, kot je opisano v točki 10.2.2.1.
However, as already indicated above in recitals 260 et seq of this Decision, the compatibility conditions for restructuring aid are not met in this case.
Vendar, kot je že navedeno v uvodni izjavi 260 tega sklepa in naslednjih, pogoji združljivosti za pomoč za prestrukturiranje v tem primeru niso izpolnjeni.
The initial capital and the subsequent capital increases cannot therefore be considered compatible with the internal market.
Začetni kapital in naknadna povečanja kapitala se zato ne morejo obravnavati kot združljivi z notranjim trgom.
AID GRANTED TO PAKHUIZEN
POMOČ, DODELJENA DRUŽBI PAKHUIZEN
The effect of the terms of the lease between the City and PAKHUIZEN was that PAKHUIZEN could benefit from a yearly reduction of its operating costs.
Pod pogoji iz zakupne pogodbe med mestom in družbo PAKHUIZEN je lahko družba PAKHUIZEN izkoristila prednost letnega zmanjšanja svojih stroškov poslovanja.
This type of aid does not fall within the scope of any of the measures mentioned in the Fisheries Guidelines, or within the objectives of other horizontal or specific guidelines which could be applicable to this kind of undertaking.
Ta vrsta pomoči ne spada na področje uporabe nobenega ukrepa iz Smernic za ribištvo ali med cilje drugih horizontalnih ali posebnih smernic, ki bi se lahko uporabljale za tovrstno podjetje.
Under both the relevant Fisheries Guidelines and the horizontal rules on State aid, such type of aid must be considered operating aid which is incompatible with the internal market.
Taka pomoč bi se v skladu z ustreznimi smernicami za ribištvo in tudi horizontalnimi pravili o državni pomoči obravnavala kot pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, ki je nezdružljiva z notranjim trgom.
In view of all the foregoing, the Commission concludes that the measures mentioned in point 10.1.5 of this Decision must be regarded as State aid, that they are not compatible with the internal market and that they must be recovered as described in section 11.
Glede na navedeno Komisija ugotavlja, da se morajo ukrepi iz točke 10.1.5 tega sklepa obravnavati kot državna pomoč, da niso združljivi z notranjim trgom in da je treba pomoč vrniti v obsegu, opisanem v razdelku 11.
In accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, where negative Decisions are taken in cases of unlawful aid, the Commission must decide that the Member State concerned must take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary.
V skladu s členom 14(1) Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999 mora Komisija, če se v primerih nezakonite pomoči sprejmejo negativne odločbe, odločiti, da mora zadevna država članica sprejeti vse potrebne ukrepe za vračilo pomoči s strani upravičenca.
The purpose is achieved once the aid in question, together where appropriate with default interest, has been repaid by the recipient or, in other words, by the undertakings which actually benefited from it.
Namen je dosežen, ko zadevno pomoč skupaj z zamudnimi obresti, kjer je potrebno, vrne upravičenec ali podjetja, ki so imela zaradi pomoči dejanske koristi.
Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 does not lay down any limitation period for the examination of unlawful aid within the meaning of Article 1(f) thereof, i.e. aid implemented before the Commission is able to reach a conclusion about its compatibility with the common market.
Uredba (ES) št. 659/1999 ne določa nobenega zastaralnega roka za proučitev nezakonite pomoči v smislu člena 1(f) te uredbe, tj. pomoč, ki se dodeli, še preden lahko Komisija sprejme sklep o njeni združljivosti s skupnim trgom.
However, Article 15 of that Regulation stipulates that the powers of the Commission to recover aid is subject to a limitation period of 10 years, that the limitation period begins on the day on which the aid is awarded to the beneficiary and that that limitation period is interrupted by any action taken by the Commission.
Vendar člen 15 navedene uredbe določa, da imajo pooblastila Komisije za vračilo pomoči desetletni zastaralni rok, da začne zastaralni rok teči na dan, ko je pomoč dodeljena upravičencu, ter da kakršen koli ukrep, ki ga sprejme Komisija, prekine zastaralni rok.
In order to determine what has to be recovered from AGVO, EVO and PAKHUIZEN, account should be taken of the fact that part of the aid granted to AGVO has been transferred to EVO.
Za ugotovitev, kaj morajo družbe AGVO, EVO in PAKHUIZEN vrniti, je treba upoštevati dejstvo, da je bil del pomoči, dodeljene družbi AGVO, prenesen družbi EVO.
As pointed out by the Belgian authorities, this aid should be recovered only once from the real beneficiary.
Kot poudarjajo belgijski organi, mora to pomoč dejanski upravičenec vrniti le enkrat.
For that reason, in those situations where aid granted by the City finally benefitted EVO, the aid to be recovered from AGVO is the part of the aid which was not transferred to EVO.
V teh okoliščinah, v katerih je pomoč, ki jo je dodelilo mesto, nazadnje koristila družba EVO, je zato pomoč, ki jo mora vrniti družba AGVO, del pomoči, ki ni bila prenesena družbi EVO.
RECOVERY FROM EVO
VRAČILO DRUŽBE EVO
The aid to be recovered from EVO is composed of:
Pomoč, ki jo mora vrniti družba EVO, sestavljajo:
the initial capital for an amount of EUR 371840,
začetni kapital v višini 371840 EUR,
the subsequent capital increases of EUR 1387044, EUR 710000,75 and EUR 1500114,96,
naknadna povečanja kapitala v višini 1387044 EUR, 710000,75 EUR in 1500114,96 EUR,
the advantage received thanks to the provision of free guarantees for loans, and
ugodnost zaradi zagotovitve brezplačnih garancij za posojila in
the advantage derived from the free use of the fish auction between 22 August 2002 and the last day EVO has had the fish auction at its disposal.
ugodnost, ki izhaja iz brezplačne uporabe stavbe dražbe rib med 22. avgustom 2002 in zadnjim dnem, ko je družba EVO imela na voljo stavbo dražbe rib.
As for the aid element of the free guarantees, this is in principle the amount of the loans guaranteed, unless the Belgian authorities provide evidence that it would have been possible for EVO to obtain such guarantees on the market; in that case, the aid element consists of what the likely market premium would have been for the guarantee.
V zvezi z elementom pomoči za brezplačne garancije gre dejansko za znesek zajamčenih posojil, razen če belgijski organi zagotovijo dokaze, da bi lahko družba EVO take garancije dobila na trgu; v tem primeru je element pomoči sestavljen iz mogoče tržne premije za garancijo.
The Belgian authorities have declared that the two loans for which a guarantee was provided in 2002 were in the end not taken up by EVO.
Belgijski organi so izjavili, da dveh posojil, za kateri sta bili garanciji zagotovljeni leta 2002, družba EVO nazadnje ni prevzela.
As a consequence, though the aid had been granted (the decision to provide the free guarantee had been adopted), EVO has not actually benefited from it.
Zato družba EVO dejansko ni koristila pomoči, čeprav je bila dodeljena (sprejeta je bila odločba o zagotovitvi brezplačnih garancij).
The aid resulting from the free guarantees for loans agreed on 28 June and 27 September 2002 does not therefore need to be recovered.
Pomoči, ki izhaja iz brezplačnih garancij za posojila, sprejetih 28. junija in 27. septembra 2002, zato ni treba vrniti.
Consequently, an amount of EUR 4284995 (3606995 + 78000 + 600000) should be recovered.
Na podlagi tega je treba vrniti 4284995 EUR (3606995 + 78000 + 600000 EUR).
RECOVERY FROM PAKHUIZEN
VRAČILO DRUŽBE PAKHUIZEN
The aid to be recovered from PAKHUIZEN is composed of the advantage derived from the fact that the long-term lease agreement was not concluded at a market price.
Pomoč, ki jo mora vrniti družba PAKHUIZEN, sestavlja ugodnost, ki izhaja iz dejstva, da dolgoročna najemna pogodba ni bila sklenjena po tržni ceni.
According to Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, the recovery shall be limited to a period of 10 years back from 13 March 2006.
V skladu s členom 15 Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999 ima vračilo zastaralni rok deset let od 13. marca 2006.
The advantage consists of the remuneration (rent) that would have been paid under normal market conditions for the long-term lease agreement for the buildings minus (a) the EUR 25 paid annually and (b) any renovation costs that PAKHUIZEN has had and which it would not have needed to pay under the normal rules of Belgian law [69].
Ugodnost je sestavljena iz plačila (najemnine), ki bi se plačalo pod običajnimi tržnimi pogoji za dolgoročno najemno pogodbo za stavbe, minus a) letno plačilo 25 EUR in b) vsi stroški obnove, ki jih je imela družba PAKHUIZEN in jih ne bi bilo treba plačati v skladu s predpisi belgijske zakonodaje [69].
