If the measure adopted by the Italian Government in support of the two projects does not fall within the scope of Article 296 of the EC Treaty, as the third party contends, the Commission would need to assess them on the basis of Article 87 of the EC Treaty, and in particular the rules applicable to the assessment of aid for R&D projects.
Če ukrep, ki ga je italijanska vlada sprejela v podporo obema projektoma, ne spada v področje uporabe člena 296 Pogodbe ES, kot trdi tretja oseba, mora Komisija oba projekta oceniti na podlagi člena 87 Pogodbe ES in še zlasti pravil, ki se uporabljajo za oceno pomoči za projekte za raziskave in razvoj.
If, on the contrary, the Italian measures fall within the scope of Article 296 of the EC Treaty, competition rules would not apply [14].
Če pa, nasprotno, ukrepa Italije spadata v področje uporabe člena 296 Pogodbe ES, pravila o konkurenci ne bi veljala [14].
The information submitted by Italy and the site visit have enabled the Commission to reach a conclusion on the two projects and on the measures taken by the Italian Government in support thereof.
Na podlagi informacij, ki jih je predložila Italija, in obiska na kraju samem, lahko Komisija oblikuje sklep v zvezi z obema projektoma in v zvezi z ukrepoma, ki ju je italijanska vlada sprejela v podporo projektoma.
It should be recalled from the outset that the military nature and purpose of equipment is, in itself, insufficient to justify an exemption from Community rules on the basis of Article 296 of the EC Treaty.
Že na začetku je treba opomniti, da sama vojaška narava in namen opreme nista zadosten razlog za utemeljitev izvzetja iz pravil Skupnosti na podlagi člena 296 Pogodbe ES.
Such a measure must also be necessary for the protection of a Member State’s essential security interests.
Takšen ukrep mora biti tudi potreben za zaščito bistvenih varnostnih interesov države članice.
According to the case law of the European Court of Justice, Article 296 of the EC Treaty must be interpreted in a restrictive way and limited to exceptional, clearly defined cases.
V skladu s sodno prakso Evropskega sodišča je treba člen 296 Pogodbe ES razlagati restriktivno in omejeno na izjemne, jasno opredeljene primere.
Moreover, the burden of proof as to whether the conditions for application of the exemption are met lies with the Member States.
Poleg tega je breme dokazovanja, ali so pogoji za uporabo izvzetja izpolnjeni, na strani držav članic.
First, therefore, the assessment must start by verifying the nature of the two research projects.
Zato je treba oceno začeti s preverjanjem narave obeh raziskovalnih projektov.
Second, the assessment must examine whether Italy has demonstrated that the measures taken were considered necessary for the protection of its essential security interests, as regards the production of or trade in arms, munitions and war material — in other words whether Article 296 of the EC Treaty applies.
Poleg tega mora ocena vključevati preverjanje, ali je Italija dokazala, da sta bila sprejeta ukrepa nujna za zaščito njenih bistvenih varnostnih interesov, kar se tiče proizvodnje ali trgovanja z orožjem, strelivom in vojaškim materialom – z drugimi besedami, ali velja člen 296 Pogodbe ES.
Third, the assessment will also examine whether such support may have affected the conditions of competition in the common market as regards the development of civil helicopters by Agusta.
Tretjič, ocena bo vključevala tudi preverjanje, ali je ta podpora vplivala na pogoje konkurence na skupnem trgu, kar se tiče razvoja civilnih helikopterjev družbe Agusta.
In assessing the two projects, it is important to stress that the measures under examination concern the R&D phases.
Pri ocenjevanju obeh projektov je treba poudariti, da ukrepa, ki se preverjata, zadevata faze raziskav in razvoja.
It is not only the nature of the final products per se which matters, but also the nature of the work carried out during the R&D phase.
Pomembna ni le narava končnih izdelkov kot takih, temveč je pomembna tudi narava dela, opravljenega v fazi raziskav in razvoja.
Further, it should be noted that the projects under assessment were limited to the R&D phase, and it is not possible to assess them on the basis of an industrialisation contract, as the third party requires, which takes place at a later stage.
Nadalje je treba opomniti, da sta bila projekta, ki sta predmet ocene, omejena na fazo raziskav in razvoja, in ju ni mogoče oceniti na podlagi pogodbe za industrializacijo, ki poteka pozneje, kot to zahteva tretja oseba.
Italy has submitted significant evidence on the two projects and has allowed a site visit to a military base.
Italija je predložila pomembne dokaze o obeh projektih in je omogočila obisk vojaške baze.
Finally, it should be recalled that Italy has used the same legal basis, Act 808/85, to support both civil and military projects.
Treba je tudi spomniti, da je Italija za podporo civilnemu in vojaškemu projektu uporabila isto pravno podlago, tj. Zakon št. 808/85.
As noted in Decision 2008/806/EC the use of a civil law as a legal basis to support military projects on the one hand contributed to the uncertainty about the nature of the projects financed, but on the other hand explains why such projects were absent from the defence budget.
Kot je navedeno v Odločbi 2008/806/ES, je uporaba civilnega prava kot pravne podlage za podporo vojaškim projektom na eni strani povzročila negotovost glede narave financiranih projektov, na drugi strani pa pojasnjuje, zakaj ti projekti niso bili vključeni v proračun za obrambo.
The documentation provided by the Italian authorities show that the A139 R&D project supported by the Italian Government was intended for uses linked to national security.
Dokumenti, ki jih je predložila Italija, dokazujejo, da je bil projekt za raziskave in razvoj A139, ki ga je podprla italijanska vlada, namenjen uporabam, povezanim z nacionalno varnostjo.
In particular, in the case of the A139, the project under assessment concerned only the development of a demonstrator, which is one of the very first phases of the development of a helicopter.
Zlasti je v primeru A139 projekt, ki se ocenjuje, zadeval le razvoj demonstratorja, kar je ena od prvih faz razvoja helikopterja.
Italy has explained that the demonstrator served only for the development of the AW149 military helicopter.
Italija je pojasnila, da je bil demonstrator namenjen le razvoju vojaškega helikopterja AW149.
Italy has shown the military documents which defined the missions to be accomplished by the military helicopter (see recital 35).
Italija je pokazala vojaške dokumente, ki so opredelili misije, ki naj bi jih opravil vojaški helikopter (glej uvodno izjavo (35).
Italy has also shown the military document containing the technical specifications of the project under development (see recital 36).
Italija je pokazala tudi vojaški dokument, ki vsebuje tehnične specifikacije projekta, ki je še v postopku razvoja (glej uvodno izjavo (36).
These specifications are the result of the R&D project.
Te specifikacije so rezultat projekta za raziskave in razvoj.
According to the third party, military requirements and military technical specifications are two steps that characterise the development of military programmes.
Po navedbah tretje osebe vojaške zahteve in vojaške tehnične specifikacije tvorijo dva koraka, ki sta značilna za razvoj vojaških programov.
According to the information provided and the evidence produced by Italy, this demonstrator would be used to develop the AW149 helicopter, whose final development has taken much longer than initially planned.
Po informacijah in dokazih, ki jih je predložila Italija, se bo ta demonstrator uporabljal za razvoj helikopterja AW149, katerega končni razvoj je potekal precej dlje, kot je bilo sprva načrtovano.
It should be noted that the aims and characteristics of the AW149 are indeed those of a military helicopter [15].
Treba je navesti, da so cilji in značilnosti AW149 dejansko takšni kot za vojaški helikopter [15].
Italy has also provided information on the overall public funding granted to the project under assessment, and on general investment in R&D activities by Agusta.
Italija je prav tako predložila informacije o skupnem znesku javnega financiranja, dodeljenem projektu, ki se ocenjuje, ter o splošnih naložbah družbe Agusta v raziskave in razvoj.
These figures are compatible with the financing of only the initial development of a demonstrator.
Ti podatki so združljivi s financiranjem le začetnega razvoja demonstratorja.
Italy provided a statement from the company’s auditors, which certifies that the expenditure for the A139 project was recorded as military expenditure and corresponds to the parameters set by the Italian Ministry of Defence.
Italija je predložila izjavo revizorjev družbe, ki potrjuje, da je bil izdatek za projekt A139 zabeležen kot vojaški izdatek in ustreza parametrom italijanskega ministrstva za obrambo.
The missions defined for the AW149 primarily involve air support activities for battlefield operations, which are essential for national security.
Misije, določene za AW149, v prvi vrsti vključujejo dejavnosti zračne podpore za operacije na bojišču, ki so bistvene za nacionalno varnost.
The information provided by Italy therefore points to the conclusion that the AW149 is a helicopter that is essential for the national security purposes defined by the Ministry of Defence and subsequently adapted on the basis of experience gained from the Italian Army’s operational missions [16].
Informacije, ki jih je podala Italija, torej vodijo k sklepu, da je AW149 helikopter, ki je bistvenega pomena za namene nacionalne varnosti, ki jih je opredelilo ministrstvo za obrambo, in je bil pozneje prilagojen na podlagi izkušenj, pridobljenih v operativnih misijah italijanske vojske [16].
The information provided by Italy shows that the support measures taken by the Italian authorities for the A139 project were considered necessary for the protection of Italy’s essential security interests as it allowed it to respond to military needs and to finance the development of arms production technologies, in this case military helicopters, which are included in the list referred to in Article 296(2).
Informacije, ki jih je predložila Italija, kažejo na to, da sta bila ukrepa podpore Italije za projekt A139 nujna za zaščito bistvenih varnostnih interesov Italije, saj je projekt Italiji omogočil odziv na vojaške potrebe in financiranje tehnologij za proizvodnjo orožja, v tem primeru vojaških helikopterjev, ki so navedene v seznamu iz člena 296(2).
Therefore the assessment of this measure is that on the basis of the information available it is not possible to conclude that Italy had wrongly invoked Article 296.
Zato je ocena tega ukrepa ta, da na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij ni mogoče zaključiti, da se je Italija napačno sklicevala na člen 296.
Italy argues that the A139 project would have been of no benefit to the development of the AW139 civil helicopter.
Italija navaja, da projekt A139 ne bi koristil razvoju civilnega helikopterja AW139.
At the same time, it is clear, however, that the company’s use of the same acronym (A139) for a civil helicopter (AW139) raised doubts about the nature of the project.
Hkrati pa je jasno, da uporaba istega akronima (A139) za civilni helikopter (AW139) vzbuja dvome o naravi projekta.
Italy has provided detailed information on the two helicopters and on their equipment.
Italija je predložila podrobne informacije o obeh helikopterjih in njuni opremi.
This has made it possible to conclude that the A139 civil helicopter (AW139) and the AW149 are two different helicopters.
Na podlagi tega je bilo mogoče zaključiti, da sta civilni helikopter A139 (AW139) in AW149 dva različna helikopterja.
Italy’s support was granted at the beginning of the R&D phase for the development of a helicopter with features that met specific strategic requirements of Italian defence.
Italija je podporo dodelila na začetku faze raziskav in razvoja za razvoj helikopterja z značilnostmi, ki izpolnjujejo posebne strateške zahteve obrambe Italije.
The information provided by Italy on the military characteristics of the A139 project and the arguments by the third party on the civil nature of the AW139 are consistent.
Informacije Italije o vojaških značilnostih projekta A139 in argumenti tretje osebe v zvezi s civilno naravo AW139 so dosledne.
On the other hand, it is possible, and indeed likely, that the R&D activities carried out under the A139 assisted project have been of benefit to the development of the AW139 civil helicopter [17].
Po drugi strani pa je mogoče in dejansko tudi verjetno, da so dejavnosti raziskav in razvoja, izvedene v okviru subvencioniranega projekta A139, koristile razvoju civilnega helikopterja AW139 [17].
It should be recalled that helicopters have features that allow dual use.
Treba je opomniti, da imata helikopterja značilnosti, ki omogočajo dvojno uporabo.
According to Italy, it is not infrequent in this sector for companies to exploit R&D projects for military helicopters in order to develop civil helicopters.
Po trditvah Italije na tem področju ni neobičajno, da podjetja koristijo projekte za raziskave in razvoj za vojaške helikopterje z namenom razvoja civilnih helikopterjev.
It is therefore possible to conclude that, while the Italian authorities have not been wrong in invoking Article 296 of the EC Treaty, it also appears that these measures had the effect of distorting the conditions of competition in the common market because they were also of benefit to the development of the AW139 civil helicopter.
Zato je mogoče zaključiti, da se, čeprav Italija člena 296 Pogodbe ES ni napačno uporabila, kljub temu zdi, da sta ta ukrepa škodljivo vplivala na pogoje konkurence na skupnem trgu, saj sta koristila tudi razvoju civilnega helikopterja AW139.
On the basis of Article 298(1), the Commission will therefore examine, together with the Italian authorities, how such measures can be adjusted to the rules laid down in the Treaty.
Na podlagi člena 298(1) bo Komisija zato preverila, skupaj z Italijo, kako je mogoče ta ukrepa prilagoditi pravilom v Pogodbi.
As regards the BA609, the Italian authorities have provided sufficient information to prove that a military version of the tilt-rotor aircraft is under development.
Za projekt BA609 je Italija predložila zadostne informacije, ki dokazujejo, da je vojaška različica zračnega plovila s premičnim rotorjem v postopku razvoja.
The Italian authorities have given a detailed presentation of the missions required from the BA609.
Italija je predložila podrobno predstavitev misij, ki se pričakujejo od BA609.
They have produced evidence of the demand by the Ministry of Defence for such an aircraft.
Italija je predložila dokaze, da je ministrstvo za obrambo zahtevalo takšno zračno plovilo.
This is a step that the third party considers to be necessary for military projects.
To je korak, ki je po mnenju tretje osebe nujen za vojaške projekte.
The Italian authorities also organised a site visit to a military base.
Italija je organizirala tudi obisk vojaškega oporišča.
The visit provided an opportunity to see actual prototypes of the aircraft under development and life-size mock-ups of the equipment and to verify that they are indeed for military use (see recitals 62 to 66).
Na tem obisku sta uradnika Komisije imela možnost videti dejanske prototipe zračnega plovila, ki je v postopku razvoja, in makete opreme v dejanski velikosti, hkrati pa sta se lahko prepričala, da gre resnično za vojaško uporabo (glej uvodne izjave (62) do (66)).
The Italian authorities have also provided information on the funding for the development of the aircraft.
Italija je predložila tudi informacije o financiranju razvoja zračnega plovila.
They have also provided a statement by the auditors, certifying that the sums paid by the Italian Government were used entirely by the company for military projects.
Italija je predložila tudi izjavo revizorjev, ki je potrdila, da je družba zneske, ki jih je izplačala italijanska vlada, v celoti porabila za vojaške projekte.
Furthermore, the Italian authorities have explained that features of the tilt-rotor allow a strategic use of the aircraft for national security purposes, such as sea surveillance, which is of particular relevance for Italy given its geographic location in the central Mediterranean area.
Poleg tega je Italija pojasnila, da značilnosti premičnega rotorja omogočajo strateško uporabo zračnega plovila za namene nacionalne varnosti, kot na primer nadzor morja, kar je za Italijo še posebej pomembno glede na njeno geografsko lego v osrednjem Sredozemlju.
The demonstration of the development of the avionics systems, in particular, gave an idea of the potential national security missions that the tilt-rotor could carry out.
Predstavitev razvoja sistemov letalske elektronike je še posebej prikazala možne misije nacionalne varnosti, ki jih lahko premični rotor izvede.
The information provided by Italy shows that the support measures taken by the Italian authorities for the BA609 project were considered necessary for the protection of Italy’s essential security interests as it allowed it to respond to military needs and to finance the development of arms production technologies, in this case military helicopters, which are included in the list referred to in Article 296(2).
Informacije, ki jih je predložila Italija, kažejo na to, da sta bila ukrepa podpore Italije za projekt BA609 nujna za zaščito bistvenih varnostnih interesov Italije, saj je projekt Italiji omogočil odziv na vojaške potrebe in financiranje tehnologij za proizvodnjo orožja, v tem primeru vojaških helikopterjev, ki so navedene na seznamu iz člena 296(2).
Therefore the assessment of these measures is that on the basis of the information available it is not possible to conclude that Italy has wrongly invoked Article 296 of the Treaty.
Zato je ocena teh ukrepov ta, da na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij ni mogoče zaključiti, da se je Italija napačno sklicevala na člen 296 Pogodbe.
On the other hand, it should also be noted that the parallel development of two versions of an aircraft, even if it is a very innovative aircraft like the BA609, inevitably brings a transfer of know-how from one part of the project to the other.
Po drugi strani pa je treba tudi navesti, da vzporedni razvoj obeh različic zračnega plovila, četudi gre za zelo inovativno zračno plovilo, kot je BA609, neizogibno privede do prenosa znanja in izkušenj z enega dela projekta na drugi del.
Even if, as Italy has shown, there are substantial differences in the aircraft designed for military development compared with the version for the civil market, it is highly likely that the technological spillover from the work carried out on the military aircraft were of benefit to the civil version.
Čeprav obstajajo, kot je pokazala Italija, velike razlike med zračnim plovilom, zasnovanim za vojaški razvoj, in različico za civilno uporabo, je zelo verjetno, da je tehnološko prelivanje z dela, opravljenega na vojaškem zračnem plovilu, koristilo civilni različici.
This is particularly the case with the initial work carried out by Agusta on the tilt-rotor mechanisms.
To je še zlasti mogoče trditi za začetna dela, ki jih je družba Agusta izvedla na mehanizmih premičnega rotorja.
In order to assess this initial work correctly, it must also be acknowledged that such work — mainly carried out at the end of the 1990s — is very far removed from the final product, which will only be put on the market in 2013, according to the most recent forecasts — if not later [18].
Za natančno oceno začetnih del je treba tudi priznati, da je takšno delo – ki je bilo predvsem izvedeno konec 90. let – zelo oddaljeno od končnega izdelka, ki bo po najnovejših napovedih na trg prišel šele l. 2013 – če ne še pozneje [18].
The information submitted by Italy on the military nature of the BA609 project is consistent with the information submitted by the third party about the civil nature of the BA609 aircraft.
Informacije, ki jih je Italija predložila o vojaški naravi projekta BA609, se skladajo z informacijami, ki jih je tretja oseba predložila o civilni naravi zračnega plovila BA609.
Italy recognises that there are two parallel developments.
Italija priznava obstoj dveh vzporednih razvojev.
It is therefore possible, and indeed likely, that the work carried out under the funded BA609 project has benefited the civil aircraft currently under development [19].
Zato je možno in celo verjetno, da je delo, opravljeno v okviru financiranega projekta BA609, koristilo civilnemu zračnemu plovilu, ki je še v postopku razvoja [19].
It is therefore possible to conclude that while the Italian authorities have not been incorrect in invoking of Article 296 of the EC Treaty, it also appears that these measures had the effect of distorting the conditions of competition in the common market because they were also of benefit to the development of the BA609 civil aircraft.
Zato je mogoče zaključiti, da se, čeprav Italija člena 296 Pogodbe ES ni napačno uporabila, kljub temu zdi, da sta ta ukrepa škodljivo vplivala na pogoje konkurence na skupnem trgu, saj sta koristila tudi razvoju civilnega zračnega plovila BA609.
On the basis of Article 298(1) of the EC Treaty, the Commission will therefore examine together with the Italian authorities how such measures can be adjusted to the rules laid down in the Treaty.
Na podlagi člena 298(1) Pogodbe ES bo Komisija zato preverila, skupaj z Italijo, kako je mogoče ta ukrepa prilagoditi pravilom v Pogodbi.
In the light of all the above factors, the Commission is able to conclude that the support granted by the Italian Government under Act 808/85 to the two R&D projects, A139 and BA609, falls within the scope of Article 296.
V luči zgoraj navedenih dejavnikov lahko Komisija sklene, da podpora, ki jo je italijanska vlada po Zakonu št. 808/85 dodelila za oba projekta za raziskave in razvoj, A139 in BA609, spada v področje uporabe člena 296.
Consequently, there is no purpose in pursuing this procedure under Article 88(2) and it can be terminated.
Zato torej ni smiselno nadaljevati postopka v skladu s členom 88(2) in ga je mogoče zaključiti.
However, the Commission’s examination has also shown that the measures have altered the conditions of competition in the common market as regards products not intended for specifically military purposes.
Vendar pa je preverjanje Komisije tudi pokazalo, da sta ukrepa spremenila pogoje konkurence na skupnem trgu v zvezi z izdelki, ki niso posebej namenjeni vojaški uporabi.
For these reasons, pursuant to Article 298(1), the Commission must examine together with the Italian authorities in a separate proceeding how these measures can be adjusted to the rules laid down in the Treaty,
Iz teh razlogov in v skladu s členom 298(1) mora Komisija, skupaj z Italijo, v ločenem postopku preveriti, kako je ta ukrepa mogoče prilagoditi pravilom iz Pogodbe –
The measures adopted by Italy on the basis of Act 808/1985 in favour of two R&D projects, A139 and BA609, fall within the scope of Article 296 of the EC Treaty.
Ukrepa, ki ju je Italija sprejela na podlagi Zakona št. 808/1985 za dva projekta za raziskave in razvoj, A139 in BA609, spadata v področje uporabe člena 296 Pogodbe ES.
Therefore there is no reason to pursue the current procedure.
Zato ni razloga, da bi se postopek preiskave nadaljeval.
