to ensure that the report on the separate accounts — a requirement allowing the absence of overcompensation to be verified — 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,
zagotoviti, da je poročilo o ločenih računih – zahteva, ki omogoča zagotovitev preverjanja, da ni prekomernega nadomestila – tako kot poročilo iz člena 3 predmet nadzora zunanje organizacije, katere izbiro odobri minister za komunikacije, ter da se predloži temu ministru, narodni skupščini in senatu in pripravi na stroške skupine France Télévisions,
to complete the appropriate functional mechanism to ensure the actual recovery of any overcompensation or cross-subsidisation found in 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 Commission Broadcasting Communication.
izpopolniti funkcionalni mehanizem za zagotavljanje, da se morebitna prekomerna nadomestila in navzkrižno subvencioniranje, ki bi jih razkrili ločeni računi ter ne bi bila skladna s členom 53 zakona št. 86-1067 z dne 30. septembra 1986 o svobodi komunikacij in sporočilom Komisije o radioteleviziji, dejansko vrnejo.
Likewise, in order to complete the information supplied to the Commission during the first few years of the reform initiated by Law No 2009-258 of 5 March 2009, the French authorities undertake to communicate to the Commission, for the years 2010 to 2013:
Prav tako se francoski organi, da bi izpopolnili obveščanje Komisije v prvih letih reforme, uvedene z zakonom št. 2009-258 z dne 5. marca 2009, zavezujejo, da bodo Komisiji za leta od 2010 do 2013 posredovali:
the reports drawn up under Articles 2 and 3 of the above-mentioned Decree, after amendment, within a maximum period of 6 months of the General Meetings approving the accounts, including the data concerning the trend in advertising market shares since 2007,
poročila, pripravljena na podlagi členov 2 in 3 navedenega odloka, po spremembi, najpozneje v šestih mesecih po generalnih skupščinah, na katerem so bili računovodski izkazi odobreni, skupaj s podatki o spremembah oglaševalskih tržnih deležev od leta 2007 dalje,
the public elements for monitoring the performance of the public service missions by France Télévisions which consist of the report on the channels drawn up annually by the Conseil Supérieur de l’Audiovisuel (provided for in Article 18 of Law No 86-1067 of 30 September 1986) and the report on the hearings by the parliamentary committees (Cultural Affairs and Finance Committees of the National Assembly and the Senate) by the Chairman of France Télévisions on the annual performance of the agreement relating to objectives and means (as provided for in Article 53 of the above-mentioned Law).
javne podatke o spremljanju izvajanja nalog javne službe, ki jih opravlja skupina France Télévisions, to so poročilo o televizijah, ki ga vsako leto pripravi vrhovni svet za avdiovizualne medije (določeno v členu 18 zakona št. 86-1067 z dne 30. septembra 1986), in poročilo o zaslišanjih predsednika skupine France Télévisions pred parlamentarnimi odbori (odbori za kulturne zadeve in finance v narodni skupščini in senatu) v zvezi z letnim izvajanjem pogodbe o ciljih in sredstvih (kot je določeno v členu 53 navedenega zakona).
Taking into consideration of the new taxes introduced by the reform of public broadcasting
Upoštevanje novih davkov, uvedenih z reformo javnih avdiovizualnih medijev
The French Republic considers that it has it has not taken account of the new taxes on advertising and electronic communications in its notification.
Francoska republika trdi, da v priglasitvi ni upoštevala novih davkov na oglaševanje in elektronske komunikacije.
Although introduced by the same legislative instrument as establishes the reform, these taxes would not come within the scope of the notified measure.
Čeprav sta ta davka uvedena z istim zakonskim aktom kot reforma, ne spadata v priglašeni ukrep.
The French Republic specifies that the public statements prior to the Law being passed referred to in the decision initiating the procedure, subsequently contradicted by the provisions of this Law, are not sufficient to establish as a binding link the earmarking of the taxes to finance the aid under Union law.
Francoska republika pojasnjuje, da javne izjave iz časa pred glasovanjem o zakonu, navedene v sklepu o začetku postopka, ki so jih določbe tega zakona kasneje zanikale, ne zadoščajo za ugotovitev, da so davka in financiranje pomoči neločljivo vsebinsko povezani po pravu Unije.
Under French law, these taxes are levied in favour of the general budget of the State, contributing to financing all public expenditure and complying with the principles of universality and unity, which come under the constitutionality of public finances.
Po francoskem pravu se ta davka pobirata za splošni državni proračun, prispevata k financiranju vseh javnih izdatkov in sta skladna z načeloma univerzalnosti in enotnosti proračuna, ki sta del ustavnosti javnih financ.
Under Article 36 of the Organic Law of 1 August 2001 on Finance Laws (loi organique du 1er août 2001 relative aux lois de finances), the allocation in whole or in part of a resource established in favour of the State to a legal person may result only from an express provision of a finance law, which, in the present case, does not exist.
V skladu s členom 36 sistemskega zakona z dne 1. avgusta 2001 o zakonu o javnih financah je delna ali popolna dodelitev sredstev, ustvarjenih v korist države, pravni osebi mogoča le na podlagi izrecne določbe zakona o javnih financah, ki v tem primeru ne obstaja.
The French Republic also emphasises that there are no plans to introduce earmarking between these taxes and the financing of France Télévisions.
Poleg tega Francoska republika poudarja, da osnutek, s katerim bi bila vzpostavljena vsebinska povezava med davkoma in financiranjem skupine France Télévisions, ne obstaja.
It specifies that, if a change to the architecture of the regime were to be considered, the French authorities would send a new notification to the Commission, in accordance with Article 108(3) of the TFEU.
Pojasnjuje, da bi francoski organi, če bi bilo treba predvideti spremembo strukture sistema, Komisiji poslali novo uradno obvestilo v skladu z določbami člena 108(3) PDEU.
Presence of aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU
Obstoj pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU
The budget allocations which are the subject of the present notification will be committed each year in the finance law establishing the French State budget.
Proračunska sredstva, ki so predmet te priglasitve, bodo vsako leto določena z zakonom o javnih financah, s katerim se sprejme proračun francoske države.
These are consequently measures granted by means of state resources.
Zato gre za ukrepe, dodeljene iz državnih sredstev.
The budgetary grant mechanism replenishing the public resources made available to France Télévisions is selective, as France Télévisions will be the sole beneficiary.
Mehanizem proračunske pomoči, s katerim se bodo povečala javna sredstva za skupino France Télévisions, je selektiven, ker bo do njega upravičena samo skupina France Télévisions.
The annual operational budgetary grant, which is intended in particular to allow the undertaking to continue its activities, will protect it from loss of commercial advertising revenue which partly financed its expenditure and investments hitherto.
Letna proračunska pomoč za delovanje, katere namen je podjetju zlasti omogočiti, da še naprej opravlja svoje dejavnosti, bo to podjetje zaščitila pred izgubo komercialnih prihodkov iz oglaševanja, s katerimi je do sedaj delno financiralo svoje izdatke in naložbe.
France Télévisions will in this way be able to achieve an audience share which it could not envisage in the absence of a budget allocation.
Tako bo skupina France Télévisions lahko dosegla delež občinstva, kakršnega brez proračunskih sredstev ne bi mogla.
Consequently, it receives an economic advantage which it could not otherwise have obtained or, if appropriate, since it is a grant, under other market conditions, i.e. those under which its private competitors operate.
Zato ima gospodarsko prednost, kakršne ne bi mogla dobiti drugače ali – če je smiselno, ker gre za pomoč – v drugačnih tržnih razmerah, v katerih delujejo zasebni konkurenti.
Furthermore, the Commission notes that the French Republic did not make any comments calling into question its assessments in the decision initiating the procedure that the planned allocations would not satisfy the cumulative criteria set out in the Altmark case-law and would therefore procure an economic advantage constituting state aid [13].
Poleg tega Komisija opozarja, da Francoska republika ni predložila pripomb, ki bi ovrgle presojo iz sklepa o začetku postopka, da predvidena dodeljena sredstva ne izpolnjujejo vseh pogojev iz sodne prakse Altmark in da zato dajejo gospodarsko prednost, ki je državna pomoč [13].
It also notes that, without prejudice to subsequent developments in the management and results of France Télévisions in the coming years, at present the report of the French Court of Auditors on France Télévisions — which was published in October 2009 after the decision initiating the procedure — confirms its arguments that the fourth condition is not satisfied.
Poleg tega opozarja, ne da bi to vplivalo na nadaljnje vodenje in poslovne izide skupine France Télévisions v prihodnjih letih, da poročilo francoskega računskega sodišča – objavljeno oktobra 2009, to je po sklepu o začetku postopka – trenutno potrjuje njeno trditev, da četrti pogoj ni izpolnjen.
To sum up, it follows from the above that the budgetary grants for the France Télévisions group alone, by means of the financial resources of the French State, will confer a selective advantage on this undertaking.
Skratka, iz navedenega izhaja, da bodo proračunske pomoči iz finančnih sredstev francoske države, dodeljene samo skupini France Télévisions, temu podjetju dale selektivno prednost.
France Télévisions operates in the field of the production and broadcasting of programmes which it exploits commercially, in particular by broadcasting paid advertising for advertisers or sponsored programmes in its programme schedule, by selling its broadcasting rights or by purchasing such rights.
Skupina France Télévisions deluje na področju komercialne produkcije in razširjanja programov, med drugim v svojem programu predvaja plačljive oglase za oglaševalce ali sponzorirane programe, preprodaja svoje programske pravice ali jih kupuje.
These commercial activities are carried out in competition with other channels, such as TF1, M6, Canal +, especially in France, where, as the French authorities emphasise, France Télévisions is the leading audiovisual group.
Te komercialne dejavnosti opravlja v konkurenci z drugimi televizijami, kot so TF1, M6 in Canal +, zlasti v Franciji, kjer je skupina France Télévisions, kot poudarjajo francoski organi, prva radiotelevizijska skupina.
In 2010, the share of France Télévisions is thought to stand at approximately 10 %, which would still make it the third largest supplier in the French market.
Leta 2010 naj bi skupina France Télévisions imela približno 10-odstoten delež, tako da bi še vedno bila tretji največji ponudnik na francoskem trgu.
Until the deadline for the discontinuance of commercial advertising at the end of 2011, France Télévisions will continue to play an active role in the French televised commercial advertising market, albeit with slot restrictions, in competition with the other broadcasters.
Do ukinitve komercialnega oglaševanja konec leta 2011 bo skupina France Télévisions, čeprav z omejitvami časovnih intervalov, dejavna na francoskem trgu komercialnega televizijskega oglaševanja v konkurenci z drugimi radiotelevizijami.
Even after 2011, France Télévisions will be able to offer its services to advertisers to advertise goods under their generic name or for programme sponsorship, in competition with the other broadcasters operating in France.
Skupina France Télévisions bo lahko celo po letu 2011 oglaševalcem ponujala svoje storitve za oglaševanje splošno poimenovanega blaga ali za sponzoriranje oddaj v konkurenci z drugimi aktivnimi radiotelevizijami v Franciji.
Even if the competitors of France Télévisions will have benefited to the full from the almost total withdrawal of France Télévisions from the advertising market brought about by the reform, France Télévisions will nevertheless retain a presence.
Tudi če bodo konkurenti skupine France Télévisions po reformi v celoti izkoristili skoraj popoln umik skupine France Télévisions z oglaševalskega trga, bo skupina France Télévisions ostala prisotna na njem.
In fact, assuming constant volumes and market share for the competitors compared with 2007, on the basis of the estimates of advertising revenue and sponsorships of France Télévisions provided by the French authorities, France Télévisions would still hold 3,3 % of the market in 2012, compared with over 50 % and about 20 % for TF1 and M6 respectively.
Pri nespremenjenih obsegih in tržnih deležih konkurentov v primerjavi z letom 2007 bi skupina France Télévisions na podlagi ocen prihodkov iz oglaševanja in sponzoriranja, ki so jih predložili francoski organi, še imela 3,3-odstotni tržni delež v letu 2012, TF1 in M6 pa 50-odstotnega oziroma 20-odstotnega.
France Télévisions will be able to achieve an audience share which it could not envisage in the absence of the budget allocation in question, which is liable to have an impact on the audience of the other broadcasters and, therefore, on their commercial activities, thereby distorting the conditions of competition.
Skupina France Télévisions bo lahko dosegla delež občinstva, kakršnega brez zadevnih proračunskih sredstev ne bi mogla pričakovati, kar lahko vpliva na gledanost drugih radiotelevizij in torej na njihove komercialne dejavnosti, tako da bi bili konkurenčni pogoji izkrivljeni.
In any case, France Télévisions will remain just as active on the markets for buying and selling broadcasting rights, with sustained bargaining power thanks to the above-mentioned support.
Vsekakor bo skupina France Télévisions ostala dejavna na trgih nakupa in prodaje avdiovizualnih pravic, kjer bo zaradi omenjene podpore ohranila svojo pogajalsko moč.
Maintaining investments in programming which is made possible by the budget allocations therefore influences the extent to which France Télévisions can act as buyer or seller in these markets.
Ohranjanje naložb v programske vsebine, ki jih omogočajo proračunska sredstva, torej vpliva na kupno in prodajno moč skupine France Télévisions na teh trgih.
It follows from the above that the budget allocations by means of resources financed by the French State for the France Télévisions group only distort, or at the very least, threaten to distort competition in the commercial exploitation of broadcasting in France and, to a certain extent, in other Member States where the programmes of France Télévisions are broadcasted.
Iz navedenega izhaja, da proračunska sredstva, dodeljena samo skupini France Télévisions iz finančnih sredstev francoske države, izkrivljajo ali bi vsaj lahko izkrivljala konkurenco, ki obstaja na področju komercialne uporabe radiotelevizije v Franciji in v določeni meri v drugih državah članicah, kjer skupina France Télévisions predvaja svoje programe.
The markets for the purchase and sale of audiovisual programmes and broadcasting rights in which France Télévisions operates have an international dimension, even though acquisitions are made with a territorial restriction generally confined to one Member State.
Trgi prodaje in nakupa avdiovizualnih programov in programskih pravic, na katerih je dejavna skupina France Télévisions, imajo mednarodno razsežnost, čeprav je nakup običajno ozemeljsko omejen na eno državo članico.
Furthermore, the programmes of France Télévisions, the broadcasting of which can be maintained thanks to the state support, are picked up in other Member States, such as Belgium and Luxembourg.
Poleg tega je programe skupine France Télévisions, katerih razširjanje se lahko ohrani zaradi državne podpore, mogoče gledati v drugih državah članicah, na primer v Belgiji in Luksemburgu.
Finally, France Télévisions also broadcasts programmes via the Internet, which are accessible both within and outside France.
Nazadnje, skupina France Télévisions programe razširja tudi preko interneta, ki je dostopen tudi zunaj Francije.
Under these conditions, the planned budgetary grants are likely to distort the conditions of competition and to affect trade between Member States.
V teh okoliščinah predvidene proračunske pomoči lahko izkrivljajo konkurenčne pogoje in vplivajo na trgovino med državami članicami.
Conclusion on the presence of state aid
Sklepna ugotovitev o obstoju državne pomoči
In view of the above, the budgetary grants which France is planning to pay to France Télévisions constitute state aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU, which must be examined for compatibility with the internal market.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega so proračunske pomoči, ki jih Francoska republika namerava izplačati skupini France Télévisions, državna pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU, katere združljivost z notranjim trgom je treba proučiti.
Compatibility in the light of Article 106(2) of the TFEU
Združljivost z vidika člena 106(2) PDEU
Article 106(2) of the TFEU provides that ‘Undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest or having the character of a revenue-producing monopoly shall be subject to the rules contained in the Treaties, in particular to the rules on competition, in so far as the application of such rules does not obstruct the performance, in law or in fact, of the particular tasks assigned to them.
Člen 106(2) PDEU določa, da „podjetja, pooblaščena za opravljanje storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, oziroma podjetja, ki imajo značaj dohodkovnega monopola, ravnajo po pravilih iz Pogodb, zlasti po pravilih o konkurenci, kolikor uporaba takšnih pravil pravno ali dejansko ne ovira izvajanja posebnih nalog, ki so jim dodeljene.
The development of trade must not be affected to such an extent as would be contrary to the interests of the Union.’.
Razvoj trgovine ne sme biti prizadet v takšnem obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju z interesi Unije.“
In its Broadcasting Communication, the Commission sets out the principles it follows in the application of Articles 107 and 106(2) of the TFEU to the funding of public broadcasting bodies by the State.
Komisija v sporočilu o radioteleviziji navaja načela, ki jih spoštuje pri uporabi člena 107 in člena 106(2) PDEU za državno financiranje javnih radiotelevizij.
In this respect, the Commission’s assessment is based on the following two aspects:
V zvezi s tem se presoja Komisije nanaša na dva vidika:
the existence of a clear, precise definition of the public service mission in an official act, including the supply of significant new services, and subject to effective control mechanisms by an entity which is independent from the broadcaster,
obstoj jasne in natančne opredelitve naloge javne službe v uradnem aktu – skupaj z opravljanjem pomembnih novih storitev –, za katero obstajajo mehanizmi učinkovitega nadzora, ki ga izvaja subjekt, neodvisen od radiotelevizije,
the proportionate and transparent nature of the public financing of the compensation necessary for this mission, without the compensation exceeding the net costs incurred by the public service mission which is also subject to effective control.
sorazmernost in preglednost javnega financiranja nadomestil, potrebnih za to nalogo, ne da bi presegla znesek neto stroškov, ki nastanejo z opravljanjem javne storitve; to financiranje je prav tako predmet učinkovitih nadzorov.
Clear, precise definition of the public service mission in an official act, subject to effective control
Natančna in jasna opredelitev naloge javne službe v uradnem aktu, za katero obstajajo učinkoviti nadzori
As stated above, the Commission has not expressed any doubts in its decision initiating the procedure, for the reasons set out in it, concerning the appropriateness of either the definition and entrustment of the public service mission to France Télévisions by official acts or the external controls carried out in respect of the way in which France Télévisions carries out the obligations assigned to it, as described above.
Kot je bilo pojasnjeno zgoraj, Komisija v sklepu o začetku postopka zaradi razlogov, navedenih v tej odločitvi, ni izrazila dvoma ne o ustreznosti opredelitve naloge javne službe, ki je skupini France Télévisions dodeljena z uradnimi akti, in pooblastila za njeno opravljanje ne o ustreznosti zunanjih nadzorov nad tem, kako skupina France Télévisions izvaja obveznosti, ki so ji naložene, kot so opisane zgoraj.
The Commission therefore considered that the relevant provisions of Law No 86-1067 of 30 September 1986, amended, (Articles 43-11, 44, 48 and 53) and the Decrees or official acts implementing it, in particular regarding the terms of reference (Decree No 2009-796 of 23 June 2009) and the agreement relating to objectives and means, were in conformity with the rules for the application of Article 106(2) of the TFEU on the assessment of aid to public broadcasting services set out in the Broadcasting Communication.
Zato je Komisija menila, da so upoštevne določbe spremenjenega zakona št. 86-1067 z dne 30. septembra 1986 (člen 43-11 ter členi 44, 48 in 53) in odlokov ali uradnih aktov o njegovem izvajanju, zlasti v zvezi s specifikacijo (odlok št. 2009-796 z dne 23. junija 2009) in pogodbo o ciljih in sredstvih, skladne s pravili za uporabo člena 106(2) PDEU v zvezi z oceno pomoči storitvam javne radiotelevizije iz sporočila o radioteleviziji.
This conclusion was the same as those already drawn by the Commission on this subject in application of the communication applicable at that time, in its Decisions of 2003 and 2005 for France 2 and France 3 and of 2008 and 2009 for France Télévisions.
Ta ugotovitev je podobna ugotovitvam Komisije v zvezi s to temo na podlagi takrat veljavnega sporočila v odločbah Komisije iz let 2003 in 2005 za France 2 in France 3 ter iz let 2008 in 2009 za skupino France Télévisions.
It is therefore for the sake of completeness that it is appropriate to examine the comments, which are of a general nature all told, made by certain interested parties claiming similarity between the public television programming and that of the competitors and contradicted in fact by the comments of other parties, and which are not of a nature to change this assessment.
Zato je treba dodatno proučiti sicer splošne pripombe nekaterih zainteresiranih strani o domnevno podobnem programu javnih televizij in njihovih konkurentov, čemur dejansko nasprotujejo pripombe drugih strani, in ki ne morejo spremeniti te presoje.
Law No 86-1067, amended, on Freedom of Communication provides a broad, qualitative but precise definition of the public service obligations of France Télévisions.
Spremenjeni zakon št. 86-1067 o svobodi komunikacij široko, kvalitativno, vendar natančno opredeljuje obveznosti javne službe skupine France Télévisions.
It is to target a wide public and offer a diversified supply, in accordance with the objective, with respect for pluralism, of catering for the democratic, social, civic and cultural needs of society.
Ta mora doseči širšo javnost in zagotavljati raznoliko ponudbo v skladu s ciljem, da ob spoštovanju pluralizma odgovarja na demokratične, socialne, državljanske in kulturne potrebe družbe.
