The Commission’s expert also rightly observes that the procedure laid down by French law is a procedure only for the recovery of claims, and not for winding up.
Poleg tega izvedenka Komisije upravičeno ugotavlja, da je postopek, določen s francoskim pravom, samo postopek izterjave terjatev, brez postopka likvidacije.
In the case of private persons the legislation links cessation of payments to winding up.
Kar zadeva zasebne osebe, besedila položaj ustavitve plačil povezujejo s položajem likvidacije.
The prospect of a cessation of payments may be grounds for a suspension of payments, and a cessation of payments is expressly stated to be grounds for winding up under the supervision of the court.
Tako lahko tveganje ustavitve plačil sproži zaščitni postopek, sodna likvidacija pa je izrecno predstavljena kot posledica ustavitve plačil.
But in the case of public bodies in general, and publicly owned establishments in particular, the legislature and the regulatory authorities have passed over the situation of cessation of payments, without linking it to any form of winding up, and have thus given creditors to understand that their claims will be honoured without limitation, if necessary by a third party such as the State.
Po drugi strani zakonodajalec in zakonodajna oblast pri javnih osebah na splošno in še posebej osebah javnega prava s tem, ko zakrijeta položaj ustavitve plačil in ga nikakor ne povežeta s položajem likvidacije, upnikom sporočata, da bodo njihove terjatve neomejeno poplačane, po potrebi s strani tretjega, kot je država.
Lastly, the Commission’s expert observes that in the course of the reform of 2008, which took place after the opening decision in these proceedings, the French authorities did not take the opportunity to make it clear that the resources to be released had to be the establishment’s own, and that state resources would not be drawn upon.
Nazadnje, izvedenka Komisije ugotavlja, da francoski organi z reformo iz leta 2008, ki je bila izvedena po sprejetju odločitve o sprožitvi postopka, niso pojasnili, da morajo biti sredstva, ki jih je treba zagotoviti, lastna sredstva osebe javnega prava in ne smejo vključevati državnih sredstev.
Such a clarification would have sent a strong signal to creditors at a time when in proceedings initiated by the Commission an express link was being made between a state guarantee and the vague wordings in the legislation.
Tako pojasnilo bi lahko pomenilo močan znak zoper upnike na datum, ko so postopki, ki jih je sprožila Komisije, državno poroštvo izrecno povezovali s pomanjkljivim oblikovanjem besedil.
The fact that the necessary clarification was not supplied supports the affirmation that the French State does not wish to deny that it may supply the necessary resources itself.
Ker potrebno pojasnilo ni bilo zagotovljeno, to govori v prid trditvi, da francoska država ne želi zanikati, da lahko sama zagotovi potrebna sredstva.
In the memorandum they sent on 27 October 2009, the French authorities argue that the statement of the Commission’s expert that ‘from a reading of this legislation, creditors can conclude that if their claim is not met immediately it will be met at a later date’ rests on a biased reading of the relevant wordings: apart from the fact that these are merely circulars, rather than statutes or regulations, there is nothing in them to show that state resources are to be substituted for those of the publicly owned establishment.
Francoski organi v obvestilu z dne 27. oktobra 2009 trdijo, da trditev izvedenke Komisije, da „lahko upniki z branjem teh besedil sklepajo, da bo njihova terjatev, če ne bo poplačana takoj, poplačana pozneje,“ temelji na pristranskem branju besedil, ki – poleg tega da to niso zakonodajna besedila (okrožnice) – nikakor ne dokazujejo morebitne nadomestitve sredstev osebe javnega prava z državnimi sredstvi.
There is no reason why publicly owned establishments should not become dormant, leaving their creditors unable to force them to pay their debts.
Nič naj ne bi prepovedovalo pojava zaprtih oseb javnega prava, katerih upnikom ne bi uspelo doseči, da plačajo svoje dolgove.
In addition, the French authorities take the view that publicly owned establishments could fail to meet a claim without automatically being in a state of cessation of payments.
Francoski organi poleg tega menijo, da je mogoče, da osebe javnega prava ne plačajo svojih terjatev, ne da bi se zato samodejno znašle v položaju ustavitve plačil.
The Commission will now consider whether, once a court has ordered a publicly owned establishment to pay a sum of money, and the order is no longer open to appeal, it is legally possible for the establishment to be allowed to fall into dormancy, with the result that the claim will never be honoured, as the French authorities contend.
Komisija bo zdaj preučila, ali je zakonsko mogoče, da se oseba javnega prava, ki ji je bilo s pravnomočno sodno odločbo naloženo plačilo denarnega zneska, zapre in da se terjatev nikoli ne plača, kot trdijo francoski organi.
The Law of 16 July 1980 and the measures implementing it are binding on the State.
Določbe zakona z dne 16. julija 1980 in njegovih izvedbenih besedil veljajo za državo.
In the case least favourable to the creditor, they require the State to inform the creditor of the balance that will be paid later.
V najmanj ugodnem scenariju za upnika mora država na podlagi teh besedil upniku sporočiti preostanek, ki bo plačan pozneje.
If no payment follows, the creditor can always claim that the State is liable (this point will be developed in Section 3 below).
Če temu ne bi sledilo nobeno poplačilo, bo upnik vedno imel možnost (to bo obravnavano v oddelku 3 tega sklepa) uveljavljati odgovornost države.
On the theoretical hypothesis that the debtor were to become dormant, therefore, the debt would not in any event be extinguished.
V teh okoliščinah teoretična hipoteza zaprtja nikakor ne bi povzročila ugasnitve dolga.
In addition, the French authorities have not provided any specific example where this situation has actually arisen.
Poleg tega francoski organi niso zagotovili nobenega konkretnega primera, v katerem bi se to zgodilo.
The Commission concludes as follows:
Komisija na podlagi teh elementov ugotavlja, da: je poseben postopek, opredeljen z zakonom z dne 16. julija 1980 in njegovimi izvedbenimi besedili, samo postopek izterjave terjatev, brez postopka likvidacije; terjatev po koncu tega postopka ne izgine, po koncu postopka likvidacije pa je v sodbo o zaprtju zaradi nezadostnosti sredstev brez kazni vključena prepoved za upnike, da znova sprožijo pregon,
The specific procedure laid down by the Law of 16 July 1980 and the measures implementing it is a procedure only for the recovery of claims, and not a procedure for winding up. At the end of the procedure the claim is not cancelled, whereas at the end of winding-up proceedings a judgment terminating the proceedings on the ground that the assets are insufficient, without penalty, prevents creditors from pursuing the proceedings further.
na podlagi zakona z dne 16. julija 1980 in njegovih izvedbenih besedil, ki določajo časovni odlog plačila in nikjer ne predvidevajo položaja ustavitve plačil, lahko upniki domnevajo, da obstajajo ali da bodo vedno obstajala potrebna sredstva za poravnavo terjatev, ki jih imajo do pravnega subjekta javnega prava,
The Law of 16 July 1980 and the measures implementing it provide for the deferral of a payment order, and nowhere envisage a cessation of payments, and thereby give creditors to understand that there are or that there will be the resources necessary to settle a claim they hold on a legal person governed by public law.
iz tega sledi, da je položaj nezadostnosti sredstev krit, po potrebi ga krije država, ali samo začasen.
It follows that a shortage of funds will be covered, if necessary by the State, or is temporary only. But winding-up procedures never provide for the possibility that a third party can become liable for the debts of the insolvent party, except of course in the case of a guarantor, or of a partnership with unlimited liability.
Po drugi strani ni pri nobenem likvidacijskem postopku predvidena možnost, da za dolgove plačilno nesposobne osebe postane odgovorna tretja oseba, razen očitno – pri poroku ali družbi z neomejeno odgovornostjo.
An exceptional subsidy can be envisaged that would be granted by the State to enable a publicly owned establishment to meet its obligations, and such a subsidy is in fact envisaged by certain legislation
Izredno subvencijo države, s katero se osebi javnega prava omogoči, da je kos svojim obveznostim, je mogoče predvideti in je dejansko predvidena z nekaterimi besedili
The Commission’s expert observes that:
V zvezi s tem je izvedenka Komisije poudarila, da:
[…] [41] parts of this text have been omitted to ensure that confidential information is not disclosed.
[…] [41] Deli tega besedila so bili izpuščeni, da ne bi bila objavljena nobena zaupna informacija.
Those parts are indicated by three full stops enclosed in square brackets and marked with two asterisks.
Ti deli so navedeni s tropičjem med oglatima oklepajema, ki jima sledi zvezdica.
In order to establish that the guarantee arising out of La Poste’s legal form constitutes State aid, it is not necessary to show that the resources of its own that La Poste would be able to mobilise in the event of a shortage of funds are limited; but the Commission would nevertheless point out that this is in fact so.
Ne da bi bil ta dokaz potreben za opredelitev poroštva, izhajajočega iz statusa podjetja La Poste, kot državne pomoči, Komisija ugotavlja, da so lastna sredstva, ki jih to podjetje lahko zagotovi v primeru nezadostnosti likvidnih sredstev, omejena.
The sale of assets and the prices charged for providing the universal postal service are both subject to very strict rules laid down by the French legislature.
Francoski zakonodajalec je namreč za prodajo premoženja in povišanje tarif za storitve univerzalne poštne storitve določil zelo strog okvir.
The difficulty of mobilising the undertaking’s own capital and reserves in order to meet its debts exacerbates the need for state action in the event of a shortage of funds.
Kadar je težko zagotoviti dodatna lastna sredstva za reševanje dolgov, se v primeru nezadostnosti sredstev poveča potreba po državnem posredovanju.
First, the fact that resources cannot be mobilised by selling assets means that more frequent use has to be made of other guarantee mechanisms (advances, efforts to establish a liability on the part of the State, etc.).
Prvič, glede na mehanizem vzročne zveze se zaradi nezmožnosti zagotovitve sredstev s prodajo premoženja poveča pogostnost uporabe drugih mehanizmov poroštva (predujmi, iskanje odgovornosti države itd.).
Second, in the event of a default on the part of La Poste, the fact that the legislature has laid down rules protecting the assets might be invoked in any dispute in which it is alleged that there is a strict liability resting on the State.
Drugič, ker je zakonodajalec izdelal sistem varstva premoženja, bi se lahko povečalo število sporov o nekrivdni odgovornosti države ob morebitnem neizpolnjevanju obveznosti podjetja La Poste.
The Commission takes note of the clarifications provided by the French authorities, and makes two observations.
Komisija upošteva pojasnila francoskih organov in navaja dve ugotovitvi:
The French authorities contend that even if the State were to object to a sale, that would not entail a guarantee.
francoski organi trdijo, da tudi če bi država nasprotovala prodaji, to nikakor ne bi pomenilo poroštva.
Nevertheless, they have acknowledged that in applying the procedure laid down in the Law of 16 July 1980 the representative of the State is bound by the requirement of continuity of public service, which means that the State might have strict liability for a breach of the principle of equality before public burdens, as will be shown below.
Kljub temu so priznali (čeprav zanikajo, da bi podjetje La Poste lahko od tega imelo prednost), da mora predstavnik države pri izvajanju postopka, uvedenega z zakonom z dne 16. julija 1980, upoštevati zahtevo po kontinuiteti javne službe, kar bi lahko sprožilo nekrivdno odgovornost države zaradi kršitve enakosti pred javnimi bremeni, kot je prikazano v nadaljevanju,
Creditors of La Poste cannot turn to another company in the La Poste group to seek satisfaction of their claims, so that the proportions between the regulated area and the reserved area have to be considered in relation of the turnover of La Poste, and not of the La Poste group as a whole.
ker naj se upnik podjetja La Poste ne bi mogel obrniti na drugo družbo iz skupine La Poste, da bi dobil poplačilo svoje terjatve, je treba preučiti delež reguliranega sektorja in rezerviranega sektorja v prometu podjetja La Poste, in ne v prometu skupine La Poste.
Given the scope of the regulated sector in France, it is clear that regulated activities form a preponderant part of the business of the public undertaking La Poste.
Glede na področje regulacije v Franciji je jasno, da so regulirane dejavnosti pretežni del dejavnosti osebe javnega prava La Poste.
Thus the share of La Poste’s business which is subject to the price cap is large, and the charges for reserved services are set by ministerial order.
Za določanje tarif velikega dela dejavnosti podjetja La Poste torej velja price cap; poleg tega so tarife rezerviranih storitev določene z ministrskim odlokom.
Some functions and schemes provided for in the state budget could be used to help a publicly owned establishment to repay its debts
Nekatere naloge in programi iz državnega proračuna bi se lahko uporabili za pomoč osebi javnega prava, da reši vprašanje vračila svojih dolgov
The programmes identified by the Commission’s expert are the following:
Programi, ki jih je opredelila izvedenka Komisije, so:
Programme No 823, advances to organisations distinct from the State that manage public services: The object is ‘to allow the State to grant advances to various organisations, distinct from the State, that manage public services’.
program št. 823, Predujmi za organe, ki so ločeni od države in upravljajo javne službe: njegov namen je „omogočiti državi, da odobri predujme različnim organom, ki so ločeni od države in ki upravljajo javne službe“.
‘The purpose of such advances is to respond to emergency situations, whether in order to ensure the continuity of public business, or to expedite the implementation of a particular measure.
„Cilj teh predujmov je poskrbeti za nujne primere, naj bo to zagotovitev kontinuitete javnega delovanja ali pospešena izvedba takega ali drugačnega ukrepa.
The advances also allow an unforeseen funding requirement to be met provisionally, pending a permanent source of finance.
Z njimi se lahko tudi začasno pokrije nepredvidena potreba po sredstvih, ki jo je treba pozneje trajno zagotoviti s trajnim virom.
This means that financing does not have to be obtained from banks or the market, and prevents greater fragmentation of the debt of public departments or an increase in their interest charges’.
Omogočajo torej izognitev bančnemu ali tržnemu financiranju in sočasno preprečitev večje razdrobljenosti dolga javnih uprav ali povečanja njihovega obrestnega bremena“,
Under the heading ‘State financial holdings’ there are two programmes, entitled ‘Capital transactions with regard to state financial holdings’ (programme No 731) and ‘Reduction of the debts of the State and of publicly owned state establishments’ (programme No 732).
v okviru naloge „Finančne udeležbe države“ sta dva programa z naslovom „Kapitalske transakcije, ki zadevajo finančne deleže države“ (program št. 731) in „Razdolževanje države in oseb javnega prava države“ (program št. 732).
In this latter programme there is a measure No 1 which relates to ‘increases in capital, contributions to capital, shareholders’ advances and equivalent loans’.
V okviru tega programa se ukrep št. 1 nanaša na „povečanja kapitala, povečanja obsega lastnega kapitala, delničarske predujme in podobna posojila“.
The funds allocated to these advances are substantial.
Sredstva, namenjena tem predujmom, so velika.
For programme No 732 there is express provision for a reserve of EUR 85 million. Payment appropriations for measure No 1 in programme No 732 amount to EUR 600 million. Payment appropriations for programme No 823 amount to EUR 50 million.
V okviru programa št. 731 je izrecno predvidena rezerva v višini 85 milijonov EUR. Odobritve plačil za ukrep št. 01 iz programa št. 732 znašajo 660 milijonov EUR. Odobritve plačil iz programa št. 823 pa znašajo 50 milijonov EUR.
In the event of financial difficulties at La Poste, the State would be able to help it with funding from these programmes.
Država bi v primeru finančnih težav podjetja La Poste lahko črpala iz teh programov, da bi mu pomagala.
There is no legislation limiting the possibility of granting advances to EPICs carrying on an economic activity and operating in the competitive sector.
Z nobenim besedilom namreč niso omejene možnosti odobritve predujmov EPIC, ki opravljajo gospodarsko dejavnost in delujejo v konkurenčnem sektorju.
In their memorandum of 27 October 2009, the French authorities argue that they have never denied that publicly owned establishments may receive state advances — which would be granted expressly — but that this in no way implies that publicly owned establishments are entitled to draw on the state budget; as the Commission’s expert indicates, shareholders’ advances may be available in respect of any state holding, whatever the legal form involved, so that no conclusion can be drawn in respect of EPICs alone; and contrary to what the Commission’s expert maintains, these advances take full account of the constraints imposed by the Community, because they would be the act of a prudent investor.
Francoski organi v obvestilu z dne 27. oktobra 2009 pojasnjujejo, da niso nikoli ugovarjali trditvi, da lahko osebe javnega prava prejmejo predujme države, ki so poleg tega eksplicitni, ampak da to ne pomeni nobene pravice oseb javnega prava do črpanja iz proračuna države; kot je navedla izvedenka Komisije, lahko sistem delničarskih predujmov koristi vsem finančnim deležem države, ne glede na njihovo pravno obliko, zaradi česar se iz tega ne more izpeljati kakršen koli sklep samo za EPIC; poleg tega in v nasprotju s trditvami izvedenke Komisije se pri teh predujmih v celoti upoštevajo omejitve Skupnosti, ker spadajo v logiko preudarnega vlagatelja.
The ‘additional resources’ referred to in the Law of 16 July 1980 may consist of contributions of this kind.
je z besedili francoskega prava državi dovoljeno ali je ta celo spodbujena, naj osebam javnega prava v primeru nezadostnosti sredstev raje odobri dotacije kot klasična bančna posojila; dostop do teh sredstev ni pogojen s predhodnim upoštevanjem pravil o državnih pomočeh; te dotacije lahko pomenijo „dodatna sredstva“, na katera se nanaša zakon z dne 16. julija 1980,
The relevant legislation is known to creditors, who consequently have good reason to believe that the supervising authority will be in a position to secure the resources necessary to ensure that their claims are satisfied.
so upniki s temi besedili seznanjeni in lahko torej utemeljeno menijo, da bo nadzorni organ sposoben najti potrebna sredstva za poravnavo njihovih terjatev,
However, La Poste has no entitlement to draw on these resources.
podjetje La Poste kljub temu nima pravice do črpanja iz teh sredstev.
Given
Ob upoštevanju, da: zakon z dne 16. julija 1980 in njegovi izvedbeni ukrepi ne določajo postopka likvidacije–prenehanja obstoja s prenehanjem pravic in obveznosti;
that the Law of 16 July 1980 and the measures implementing it do not provide for winding up with the cancellation of rights and obligations,
v zakonu z dne 16. julija 1980 in njegovih izvedbenih ukrepih ni nikjer predvideno, da sredstev ne bi bilo mogoče zagotoviti, je iz proračunskih dokumentov razvidno, da lahko EPIC v primeru nujne potrebe po sredstvih prejmejo izredne predujme,
that the Law of 16 July 1980 and the measures implementing it do not at any stage contemplate the possibility that resources might not be available, and that the budgetary documentation shows that EPICs may receive exceptional advances in the event of an urgent funding requirement, the Commission takes the view that the probability that a creditor might fail to obtain satisfaction of his claim under the procedures laid down by the Law of 16 July 1980 is low.
Komisija meni, da je primer, v katerem upniku ne bi uspelo doseči poravnave terjatve z uporabo postopkov iz zakona z dne 16. julija 1980, malo verjeten.
The Commission has not found that publicly owned establishments have any direct access to the accounts of the Treasury, ‘direct access’ being taken to mean a facility by which an EPIC can itself decide to draw directly on funds belonging to the State and placed at its disposal, without any action being required on the part of the State.
Po drugi strani Komisija ni ugotovila neposrednega dostopa oseb javnega prava do državne blagajne, če se z „neposrednim dostopom“ razume možnost EPIC, da sama sprejme odločitev o črpanju neposredno iz sredstev, ki pripadajo državi in so ji na voljo, ne da bi bilo potrebno posredovanje države.
The French authorities’ proposal for a clarification of the Decree implementing the Law of 16 July 1980 is not sufficient
Predlog francoskih organov za pojasnilo odloka o izvajanju zakona z dne 16. julija 1980 je nezadosten
The Commission would like to emphasise straight away that the French authorities have not made the change in the Law of 16 July 1980 that will be discussed in this section.
Komisija najprej poudarja, da francoski organi niso izvedli spremembe zakona z dne 16. julija 1980, ki bo analizirana v tem oddelku.
The Commission must necessarily examine the existence or otherwise of a guarantee to La Poste on the basis of the legislation actually enacted, rather than seeking to assess whether proposals which seek to exclude any guarantee but which have not yet been adopted are or are not adequate.
Zato mora preučitev Komisije glede obstoja poroštva v korist podjetja La Poste nujno temeljiti na veljavnem pravu, ne pa na primernosti ali neprimernosti nikoli uradno potrjenih predlogov francoskih organov, namenjenih izključitvi kakršnega koli poroštva.
The purpose of the analysis that the Commission will carry out in this section is essentially to provide a complete description of the proceedings that have taken place before the Commission.
Iz tega sledi, da je bistveni cilj analize Komisije v tem oddelku celovit opis postopka, ki je potekal pred Komisijo.
In order to establish that the resources released by the supervising authority must come from the resources of the defaulting authority or establishment itself, the French authorities propose to amend the Decree implementing the Law of 16 July 1980 as follows (the amendment is shown in italic): ‘If the notice given has had no effect by the time these deadlines expire, the representative of the State or the authority responsible for supervision shall enter the expenditure in the budget of the defaulting authority or publicly owned establishment.
Francoski organi so za dokaz, da sredstva, ki jih zagotovi nadzorni organ, lahko izhajajo samo iz sredstev skupnosti ali osebe javnega prava, predlagali naslednjo spremembo odloka o izvajanju zakona z dne 16. julija 1980: „Če ob izteku teh rokov opomin ostaja brez učinka, predstavnik države ali organ, pristojen za nadzor, odhodek vpiše v proračun skupnosti ali osebe javnega prava, ki ni izpolnila obveznosti.
The representative of the State or the authority responsible for supervision shall, as appropriate, release the necessary resources from the budget of the defaulting authority or establishment either by reducing the appropriations allocated to other expenditures and still available or by increasing resources’.
Po potrebi zagotovi potrebna sredstva v okviru proračuna skupnosti ali osebe javnega prava bodisi z zmanjšanjem sredstev, ki so namenjena za druge odhodke in so še na voljo, bodisi s povečanjem sredstev.“ (spremembe so podčrtane)
