It was also argued by an interested party that NorthLink 2 is offering Bed & Breakfast accommodation in Orkney (when the ship is static overnight) as a commercial activity at rates which are below cost and that this is affecting hotel-based Bed & Breakfast providers.
Zainteresirana stranka je trdila tudi, da podjetje NorthLink 2 ponuja nočitev z zajtrkom v Orkneyju (ko ladja ponoči ne pluje) kot komercialno dejavnost po cenah, ki ne pokrijejo stroškov, kar vpliva na hotele, ki ponujajo nočitev z zajtrkom.
With regard to the State aid payments made to CalMac until the signature of the 2007 contract, in the decision to start the formal investigation procedure, the Commission expressed doubts about whether these payments met the criteria laid down in the Altmark case [36] and consequently fell outside the concept of State aid in accordance with Article 87(1) of the Treaty.
V zvezi s plačili državne pomoči podjetju CalMac do podpisa pogodbe iz leta 2007 je Komisija v odločitvi o začetku formalnega postopka preiskave izrazila dvome o tem, ali ta plačila izpolnjujejo merila, določena v zadevi Altmark [36], in posledično ne sodijo v koncept državne pomoči v skladu s členom 87(1) Pogodbe.
Namely, the Commission doubted whether: the public service obligations imposed on CalMac had been clearly defined; the parameters on the basis of which the compensation had been calculated had been established before the imposition of the public service obligations in an objective and transparent manner; there had been an overcompensation of the costs borne by CalMac with the performance of the public service obligations; the level of compensation needed had been determined on the basis of an analysis of the costs which a typical and well run undertaking would have incurred in discharging those obligations, taking into account the relevant receipts and a reasonable profit.
Komisija je namreč dvomila, ali: so bile obveznosti javne službe, naložene podjetju CalMac, jasno opredeljene; so bili parametri za izračun nadomestila določeni objektivno in pregledno pred naložitvijo obveznosti javne službe; je podjetje CalMac prejelo prekomerno nadomestilo za stroške iz naslova izpolnjevanja obveznosti javne službe; je bila višina potrebnega nadomestila določena na podlagi analize stroškov, ki bi jih utrpelo tipično in dobro vodeno podjetje pri izpolnjevanju teh obveznosti, upoštevajoč ustrezne prejemke in zmerni dobiček.
The Commission came to the preliminary conclusion that the relevant payments to CalMac until the signature of the 2007 contract could involve an advantage and might thus constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Komisija je predhodno sklenila, da bi zadevna plačila podjetju CalMac do podpisa pogodbe iz leta 2007 lahko predstavljala prednost in s tem državno pomoč v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
As regards the 2007 public service contract with CalMac, the Commission did not have sufficient information to draw preliminary conclusions about the existence of State aid and requested the UK authorities submit the required information.
Kar zadeva pogodbo o izvajanju javne službe iz leta 2007 s podjetjem CalMac, Komisija ni imela dovolj informacij, da bi oblikovala predhodne sklepe o obstoju državne pomoči, in je od organov Združenega kraljestva zahtevala, da predložijo zahtevane informacije.
The Commission noted that some interested parties were of the view that the bundling of all routes, with the exception of the route between Gourock and Dunoon, unduly and significantly restrained competition during the tender since only CalMac was allegedly able to offer a bid covering the entire bundle.
Komisija je ugotovila, da nekatere zainteresirane stranke menijo, da je povezovanje vseh prog, razen proge med Gourockom in Dunoonom, neprimerno in pomembno omejilo konkurenco med javnim razpisom, saj je bilo domnevno samo podjetje CalMac sposobno dati ponudbo, ki zajema celoten sveženj.
Also, the Commission raised the question whether the tender condition that the successful bidder had to charter the CMAL vessels might have constituted an advantage to CalMac.
Komisija je tudi izpostavila vprašanje, ali je pogoj, da mora uspešen ponudnik zakupiti plovila podjetja CMAL, morda predstavljal prednost za podjetje CalMac.
If that would have been the case, the Commission would consider that the contract has not been awarded through a truly open and non-discriminatory public procurement procedure.
V tem primeru bi Komisija menila, da pogodba ni bila dodeljena prek resnično odprtega in nediskriminacijskega postopka javnih naročil.
This might have led to a situation where the Scottish authorities paid a higher compensation for the relevant public service requirements that would otherwise have been the case and therefore to the existence of State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty.
To bi lahko privedlo do situacije, v kateri bi škotski organi plačali višje nadomestilo za zadevne obveznosti javnih storitev kot sicer, in s tem do obstoja državne pomoči v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe.
In the opening decision the Commission considered that Article 86(2) of the Treaty seemed to be the appropriate legal basis to assess the compatibility of the measure with the common market [37].
V otvoritveni odločitvi je Komisija izrazila mnenje, da člen 86(2) Pogodbe predstavlja ustrezno pravno podlago za oceno združljivosti ukrepa s skupnim trgom [37].
The Commission expressed doubts about the fulfilment of the conditions of its Decision on the application of Article 86(2) of the Treaty to State aid in the form of public service compensation granted to certain undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest (hereinafter ‘SGEI Decision’) [38].
Komisija je izrazila dvome o izpolnitvi pogojev iz njene Odločbe o uporabi člena 86(2) Pogodbe za državne pomoči v obliki nadomestila za javne storitve, dodeljene nekaterim podjetjem, pooblaščenim za opravljanje storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Odločba SSGP) [38].
In order to be compatible pursuant to Article 86(2) of the Treaty, the subsidised services must correspond to genuine and legitimate services of general economic interest (hereinafter ‘SGEI’), must be adequately entrusted to the beneficiary and the compensation must not cause disproportionate effects on competition and trade.
Da bi bile subvencionirane storitve združljive s členom 86(2) Pogodbe, morajo ustrezati pristnim in legitimnim storitvam splošnega gospodarskega pomena (v nadaljnjem besedilu: SSGP), zanje mora biti ustrezno pooblaščen upravičenec in nadomestilo ne sme imeti nesorazmernih učinkov na konkurenco in trgovanje.
In the opening decision, the Commission took the preliminary position that the services entrusted to CalMac were legitimate SGEI but, for lack of evidence, was not in a position to assess whether the act of entrustment was adequate and whether the aid granted to CalMac was proportional to its objective and therefore to assess whether the possible State aid was compatible with the common market.
V otvoritveni odločitvi je Komisija zavzela predhodno stališče, da so bile storitve, za katere je bilo pooblaščeno podjetje CalMac, legitimne SSGP, vendar zaradi pomanjkanja dokazov ni mogla presoditi, ali je bila sama pooblastitev ustrezna in ali je bila pomoč, dodeljena podjetju CalMac, sorazmerna z njenim ciljem, zato ni mogla presoditi, ali je bila možna državna pomoč združljiva s skupnim trgom.
The Commission took the preliminary view that the financing of NorthLink 1 under the MoA was unlikely to meet the fourth Altmark criterion, which requires that the level of compensation is determined on the basis of an analysis of the costs which a typical and well run undertaking would have incurred in discharging the public service obligations.
Komisija je zavzela predhodno stališče, da financiranje podjetja NorthLink 1 po zapisniku verjetno ne bo izpolnilo četrtega merila Altmark, ki določa, da je treba stopnjo nadomestila določiti na podlagi analize stroškov, ki bi v tipičnem podjetju, ki je dobro vodeno, nastali pri izpolnjevanju obveznosti javne službe.
Thus, the payments in question were likely to constitute State aid pursuant to Article 87(1) of the Treaty.
Zato zadevna plačila verjetno predstavljajo državno pomoč skladno s členom 87(1) Pogodbe.
With regard to NorthLink 2, the Commission sought clarifications on the transfer of assets from NorthLink 1 and on the compliance of the 2006 contract with the four Altmark conditions.
Kar zadeva podjetje NorthLink 2, je Komisija zahtevala pojasnila o prenosu sredstev s podjetja NorthLink 1 in o skladnosti pogodbe iz leta 2006 s štirimi merili Altmark.
The presence of State aid was therefore not excluded.
Prisotnost državne pomoči torej ni bila izključena.
In its decision to start the formal investigation procedure the Commission could not identify a compatibility basis for the possible State aid to NorthLink 2 through a potential transfer of assets from NorthLink 1 below market price.
Komisija v svoji odločitvi o začetku formalnega postopka preiskave ni mogla opredeliti osnove za združljivost možne državne pomoči za podjetje NorthLink 2 prek morebitnega prenosa sredstev s podjetja NorthLink 1 pod tržno ceno.
With regard to the possible State aid granted to NorthLink 1 under the 2000 contract and the MoA and to NorthLink 2 under the 2006 contract, the services delivered by these companies could be considered as legitimate SGEI and the acts of entrustment could be considered as appropriate.
V zvezi z možno državno pomočjo, dodeljeno podjetju NorthLink 1 po pogodbi iz leta 2000 in zapisniku, ter podjetju NorthLink 2 po pogodbi iz leta 2006 bi se lahko storitve, ki jih opravljata ti podjetji, štele za legitimne SSGP, pooblastitvi pa za ustrezni.
On the contrary, for lack of sufficient evidence it is doubtful whether the possible State aid granted to NorthLink 1 and 2 was proportional to its declared objective.
Nasprotno pa je zaradi pomanjkanja zadostnih dokazov dvomljivo, ali je bila možna državna pomoč, dodeljena podjetjema NorthLink 1 in 2, sorazmerna z razglašenim ciljem pomoči.
During the time-frame provided for by Article 6(1) of the Procedural Regulation, the Commission received comments from several interested parties.
V časovnem okvirju, ki je določen v členu 6(1) Postopkovne uredbe, je Komisija prejela pripombe več zainteresiranih strank.
In accordance with Article 6(2) of the Procedural Regulation, the UK authorities were given the opportunity to respond to the comments received from interested parties within that time-frame.
V skladu s členom 6(2) Postopkovne uredbe so se organi Združenega kraljestva lahko odzvali na pripombe, ki so jih prejeli od zainteresiranih strank v tem časovnem okvirju.
The following interested parties submitted their views: the European Transport Workers’ Federation, Mr James Knight of TSL contractors Limited, Western Ferries, Mr John Rose, Streamline Shipping, Professor Dr. Alfred J. Baird of Napier University, Pedersen Consulting, Mr James Knight and Mr Andy Knight (on behalf of Isle of Mull Ferry Company Limited), McGill’s Bus Service Limited and two other parties which requested that their identity and the content of their submission be kept confidential.
Svoja stališča so predložile naslednje zainteresirane stranke: Evropska federacija delavcev v prometu, g. James Knight iz podjetja TSL contractors Limited, Western Ferries, g. John Rose, Streamline Shipping, profesor dr. Alfred J. Baird z Univerze Napier, Pedersen Consulting, g. James Knight in g. Andy Knight (v imenu Isle of Mull Ferry Company Limited), McGill's Bus Service Limited in še dve stranki, ki sta prosili, da njuna identiteta in vsebina pripomb ostaneta zaupni.
It was this strategy that led the Government to inject finance beyond what was needed for the fulfilment of the public service obligations.
Zaradi te strategije je vlada vložila več sredstev, kot je bilo potrebno za izpolnitev obveznosti javne službe.
They quote the Auditor General’s report of December 2005, which stated that ‘the level of freight charges and the resultant competition from Norse Island Ferries was one of the key factors which contributed to NorthLink 1’s financial problems’ and that ‘while chartering the extra (freight) vessel was intended to ensure there was adequate capacity to meet demand, it created a situation whereby freight capacity actually exceeded demand.
Podjetje citira poročilo generalnega revizorja iz decembra 2005, v katerem je navedeno, da „sta bila raven cen prevozov in posledična konkurenca s strani Norse Island Ferries eden od ključnih dejavnikov, ki so prispevali k finančnim težavam podjetja NorthLink 1“ in da „je zakup dodatnega (tovornega) plovila, ki naj bi zagotovilo ustrezno zmogljivost glede na povpraševanje, ustvaril situacijo, ko je zmogljivost prevozov dejansko celo presegala povpraševanje.
The additional costs of running another vessel exceeded the extra income generated and added to the cash flow problems’.
Dodatni stroški obratovanja dodatnega plovila so presegli dodatne ustvarjene prihodke in prispevali k težavam z denarnim tokom“.
With regard to NorthLink 2, Streamline Shipping argues that its vessels are under- utilised.
Kar zadeva NorthLink 2, podjetje Streamline Shipping trdi, da so njegova plovila premalo izkoriščena.
The announced reduction in market rates by 25 % to Shetland and 19 % to Orkney for NorthLink 2 when compared to the rates charged by NorthLink 1 has badly damaged Streamline Shipping, it is argued.
Po trditvah naj bi napovedano zmanjšanje tržnih cen podjetja NorthLink 2 za 25 % do Shetlanda in 19 % do Orkneyja v primerjavi s cenami podjetja NorthLink 1 zelo škodilo podjetju Streamline Shipping.
Western Ferries repeated its concerns about the subsidies paid to CalMac for the operation of the Gourock-Dunoon route.
Podjetje Western Ferries je ponovno izrazilo svoje pomisleke glede subvencij, ki se plačujejo podjetju CalMac za obratovanje na progi Gourock–Dunoon.
Western Ferries considers that this route is commercially viable, as demonstrated by its own profitable operation.
Po mnenju podjetja Western Ferries je ta proga poslovno privlačna, kar dokazuje njeno donosno obratovanje.
It also considers that the Altmark conditions are not fulfilled since the level of the subsidy is more than that which would be needed in respect of a passenger-only service using a passenger-only vessel (estimated surplus of GBP 1,3 million).
Meni tudi, da merila Altmark niso izpolnjena, ker je znesek subvencije višji, kot je potrebno izključno za prevoz potnikov z uporabo plovila, namenjenega samo prevozu potnikov (ocenjeni presežek 1,3 milijona GBP).
It is also argued that the aid is being used to subsidise the vehicle service, for example by keeping vehicle transport prices unchanged in the face of higher fuel costs (CalMac increased prices in 2009 by only 3,8 %, i.e. 1 % below inflation).
Po trditvah naj bi se pomoč uporabljala tudi za subvencioniranje prevozov vozil, na primer, cene prevozov vozil so ostale nespremenjene kljub višjim cenam goriva (podjetje CalMac je leta 2009 povečalo cene samo za 3,8 %, tj. 1 % manj, kot je znašala inflacija).
Moreover, unlike the NorthLink and CalMac networks, this route has not been tendered out and is therefore not in line with EU requirements.
Poleg tega v nasprotju z mrežama NorthLink in CalMac za to progo ni bil objavljen razpis, zato ni v skladu z zahtevami EU.
Furthermore, Western Ferries considers that the recent tender for CalMac’s network was too prescriptive and that the bundling of all routes is unwarranted.
Nadalje podjetje Western Ferries meni, da je bil nedavni razpis za mrežo podjetja CalMac preveč določevalen in da povezovanje vseh prog ni potrebno.
In such conditions, only CalMac was able to bid.
V takšnih pogojih je lahko ponudbo predložilo samo podjetje CalMac.
With regard to CalMac’s financial transparency, it is claimed that the reported cost of the Gourock-Dunoon route (GBP 4,2 million in year to March 2008) underestimates the real full cost of the service because the pension liability relating to the respective crew is not reflected, there is no transparency in inter-company charges for shared head-office functions and the daily lease costs for the service vessel are significantly understated.
Kar zadeva finančno preglednost podjetja CalMac, naj bi po trditvah poročani stroški proge Gourock–Dunoon (4,2 milijona GBP v letu do marca 2008) podcenjevali dejanske celotne stroške službe, saj niso bile upoštevane obveznosti za pokojnino v zvezi s posadko, stroški, ki si jih medsebojno zaračunavajo podjetja iz naslova skupnih funkcij na sedežu podjetja, so nepregledni in dnevni stroški zakupa plovila so izkazani v bistveno prenizkem znesku.
There is no evidence that the Scottish Government has been actively monitoring possible cross-subsidisation of the vehicle business.
Ni dokazov, da je škotska vlada aktivno spremljala morebitno navzkrižno subvencioniranje posla z vozili.
Western Ferries considers that, unlike in the situation of NorthLink, there is already sufficient market provision for passengers, cars and freight.
V nasprotju s situacijo v primeru podjetja NorthLink je po mnenju podjetja Western Ferries v tem primeru na trgu dovolj prevoznih storitev za potnike, avtomobile in blago.
For the future, there is no reason to subsidise vehicles due to the existing service of Western Ferries.
Ni razloga, da bi v prihodnosti subvencionirali prevoz vozil zaradi obstoječe službe podjetja Western Ferries.
The European Transport Workers’ Federation expressed disappointment that there is a need to review again the lifeline services provided by CalMac and NorthLink.
(132) Evropska federacija delavcev v prometu je izrazila razočaranje, ker je treba ponovno preučiti storitve prevozov do odrezanih krajev, ki jih opravljata podjetji CalMac in NorthLink.
They stress the need for a stable public service, which is legitimately defined in accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92 of 7 December 1992 applying the principle of freedom to provide services to maritime transport within Member States [39] (hereinafter ‘Maritime Cabotage Regulation’).
Poudarila je potrebo po stabilni javni službi, ki je zakonito opredeljena v skladu z Uredbo Sveta (EGS) št. 3577/92 z dne 7. decembra 1992 o uporabi načela prostega pretoka storitev v pomorskem prometu med državami članicami [39] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Uredba o pomorski kabotaži).
One interested party expressed concerns about the dependency on a State provider whose monopolistic position is enforced through the channelling of State aid.
Ena zainteresirana stranka je izrazila zaskrbljenost zaradi odvisnosti od državnega izvajalca, čigar monopolni položaj se uveljavlja z usmerjanjem državne pomoči.
This party considers that the tendering process for the routes operated by CalMac was narrowly defined and cannot be considered as an open tender.
Ta stranka meni, da je bil razpisni postopek za proge, na katerih obratuje podjetje CalMac, ozko opredeljen in ga ni mogoče šteti za odprti razpis.
The interested party calls for unbundling of the routes subject to tender.
Zainteresirana stranka poziva k razvezavi prog, na katere se nanaša razpis.
Mr James Knight considers that CalMac is not providing good value for money and that efficient private providers should take over the services currently provided by CalMac.
James Knight je mnenja, da podjetje CalMac ne zagotavlja dobre stroškovne učinkovitosti in da bi morali storitve, ki jih trenutno opravlja podjetje CalMac, prevzeti učinkoviti zasebni izvajalci.
He provides possible alternative plans to reduce the subsidies needed to operate the routes and to increase the incentives for innovation and cost efficiency.
Predlaga možne alternativne načrte za zmanjšanje subvencij, potrebnih za obratovanje na progah, in povečanje spodbud za inovacije in stroškovno učinkovitost.
Another interested party considers that the frequency restriction imposed on CalMac by the UK authorities on the Gourock-Dunoon route in fact constitutes State aid to Western Ferries, seriously distorts competition and reinforces the dominating position of Western Ferries.
Druga zainteresirana stranka meni, da omejitev pogostosti, ki jo podjetju CalMac nalagajo organi Združenega kraljestva za progo Gourock–Dunoon, dejansko predstavlja državno pomoč podjetju Western Ferries, resno izkrivlja konkurenco in krepi prevladujoči položaj podjetja Western Ferries.
On the other hand, it considered that the State aid granted to CalMac is in exchange for a legitimate public service mission.
Po drugi strani pa meni, da je državna pomoč, ki je bila dodeljena podjetju CalMac, nadomestilo za legitimno poslanstvo javne službe.
Mr John Rose considers that the tendering for the NorthLink 1 and NorthLink 2 contracts did not comply with EU rules.
John Rose meni, da razpis za pogodbi s podjetjema NorthLink 1 in NorthLink 2 ni bil skladen s predpisi EU.
He also contends that the Gourock-Dunoon route cannot be considered as a lifeline service since a road alternative already exists and a private ferry company already provides a better service without subsidies.
Trdi tudi, da proge Gourock–Dunoon ni mogoče šteti za storitev prevoza do odrezanih krajev, saj že obstaja možnost cestnega prevoza in zasebno trajektno podjetje že opravlja boljšo storitev brez subvencij.
Professor Alfred Baird submitted studies indicating that the efficiency of NorthLink’s operations could be improved through improved fleet composition, that the increasing role of the State in Scottish ferry markets goes against EU policy and trends and that, in general, it is neither necessary nor desirable for the State to operate maritime transport services.
Profesor Alfred Baird je predložil študije, ki kažejo, da bi bilo mogoče izboljšati učinkovitost poslovanja podjetja NorthLink z boljšo sestavo flote, da je vse večja vloga države na škotskih trgih prevozov s trajekti v nasprotju s politiko EU in trendi ter da na splošno ni ne potrebno ne zaželeno, da država opravlja storitve v pomorskem prometu.
McGill’s Bus Service considers that there is no need for the subsidised foot passenger service between Gourock and Dunoon, since they are already providing the same service on a commercial basis.
Podjetje McGill's Bus Service meni, da ni potrebe po subvencionirani storitvi za potnike brez vozila med Gourockom in Dunoonom, saj samo enako storitev že opravlja na komercialni osnovi.
Pedersen Consulting argues that the tender process for the western islands was so complex and expensive to comply with, that only CalMac was able to tackle the process.
Pedersen Consulting trdi, da je bil razpisni postopek za zahodne otoke tako zapleten in drag, če si hotel ravnati skladno z njim, da se ga je lahko lotilo le podjetje CalMac.
As regards the Gourock-Dunoon route, Pedersen Consulting considers that there is no sense in retaining a subsidised vehicle transport service since Western Ferries already profitably carries almost 90 % of all vehicular traffic.
Kar zadeva progo Gourock–Dunoon, podjetje Pedersen Consulting meni, da je nesmiselno ohraniti subvencionirano storitev prevozov vozil, saj podjetje Western Ferries že donosno opravlja skoraj 90 % skupnega prevoza vozil.
However, a direct passenger connection with the Gourock rail head may make sense as a public transport operation.
Vendar pa je neposredna potniška povezava z železniško postajo Gourock morda smiselna kot javni prevoz.
With regard to NorthLink, it is claimed that the tendering process was completely inadequate and resulted in an inefficient service, while Pentland Ferries already provides an unsubsidised and profitable service.
Po trditvah v zvezi s podjetjem NorthLink naj bi bil razpisni postopek povsem neustrezen in naj bi privedel do neučinkovite storitve, medtem ko podjetje Pentland Ferries že opravlja nesubvencionirano in donosno storitev.
