The mechanism for the adjustment of the public and commercial revenues to the costs provided for in the agreement relating to objectives and means should be verified, in particular in view of the variability of the commercial revenues, failing which the Commission would not have reliable information to determine the actual costs of the service provided and the existence of any overcompensation.
Mehanizem prilagajanja javnih in komercialnih prihodkov stroškom, predviden v pogodbi o ciljih in sredstvih, bi bilo treba preverjati zlasti glede ne gibanje komercialnih prihodkov, brez česar Komisija ne bi imela zanesljivih podatkov za ugotavljanje dejanskih stroškov opravljene storitve in obstoja morebitnega prekomernega nadomestila.
This verification would be undertaken in the absence of any cost accounting by the enterprise, as pointed out by the Court of Auditors.
To preverjanje naj bi se izvajalo, ne da bi podjetje imelo stroškovno računovodstvo, kot navaja računsko sodišče.
Finally, the ACT considers that the aid is in fact financed by the new taxes introduced by the reform and that the tax on advertising revenues of broadcasters introduces a model of public service financing by competitors in France which has been abandoned elsewhere.
Nazadnje ACT meni, da se pomoč dejansko financira iz novih davkov, uvedenih z reformo, in da je z davkom na avdiovizualno oglaševanje v Franciji uveden model, po katerem javno storitev financirajo konkurenti, kar je bilo drugje opuščeno.
The aid mechanism protects the resources of France Télévisions whereas it would be increasingly obvious that the advertisers will not transfer their demand in full to the competing channels.
Mehanizem pomoči pa ohranja sredstva skupine France Télévisions, čeprav naj bi bilo vse bolj očitno, da oglaševalci ne preusmerjajo celotnega povpraševanja h konkurenčnim televizijam.
Furthermore, such a mechanism would reinforce the entry barriers to the French market.
Poleg tega naj bi tak mehanizem okrepil omejitve za dostop do francoskega trga.
In its comments of 2 November 2009, France Télévisions considers that the mechanism notified confers no economic advantage on it in relation to its competitors since, although it is protected from the loss of commercial revenue, on the other hand a constraint has been imposed on it by the State which is not imposed on any private operator in the market: the discontinuance of advertising.
Skupina France Télévisions v pripombah z dne 2. novembra 2009 meni, da ji priglašeni mehanizem ne daje nobene gospodarske prednosti v primerjavi s konkurenti, kajti če je zaščitena pred izgubo komercialnih prihodkov, je to v zameno za omejitev, ki ji jo je naložila država in ki ne velja za nobenega zasebnega operaterja na trgu, to je za ukinitev oglaševanja.
When the discontinuance of advertising messages becomes effective, any distortion of competition in this market will disappear, whereas its pressure on competitors for sponsoring, in view of its limited presence, would also be zero.
Ko bodo oglasna sporočila dejansko ukinjena, bo izginilo vsakršno izkrivljanje konkurence na tem trgu, njenega pritiska na konkurente za sponzoriranje pa glede na njeno omejeno prisotnost tudi ne bo.
As regards the purchase of ‘premium’ broadcasting rights, whereas TF1 apparently achieved 96 of the 100 best audiences and 18 of the 20 best audiences in 2008, France Télévisions had no exclusivity contract with the major American companies.
V zvezi s tako imenovanimi „premium“ avdiovizualnimi pravicami: medtem ko naj bi TF1 dosegla največjo gledanost v 96 primerih od 100 in v 18 primerih od 20 v letu 2008, naj skupina France Télévisions ne bi imela nobene ekskluzivne pogodbe s pomembnejšimi ameriškimi produkcijskimi hišami.
Furthermore, it is obliged to invest in audiovisual creation with quality requirements which are incompatible with the audience targets of the commercial channels.
Poleg tega mora vlagati v avdiovizualno ustvarjanje, katerega zahteve po kakovosti niso združljive s cilji gledanosti komercialnih televizij.
It considers it only has a marginal presence regarding the sale of programmes.
Po njenem mnenju je njena prisotnost na področju prodaje programov le obrobna.
France Télévisions also considers that, as the amount to be allocated to it depends on the cost of its missions established in advance, precisely and objectively each year, with an ex post correction in the event of any divergence from real costs, the notified mechanism satisfies the second condition laid down by the Altmark case-law.
Poleg tega skupina France Télévisions meni, da priglašeni mehanizem izpolnjuje drugi pogoj iz sodne prakse Altmark, ker bo znesek, ki ji bo dodeljen, vsako leto predhodno, natančno in objektivno odvisen od stroškov njenih nalog in naknadno popravljen v primeru odstopanja od dejanskih stroškov.
The fourth condition laid down by this case-law would also be satisfied, since synergies which it was impossible to exploit in the past will be exploited with the recasting of the legal organisation and the statutes, since this fourth condition does not require the service to be performed at the least cost possible, but that the costs correspond to those which a typical, well-run undertaking would have incurred.
Izpolnjen naj bi bil tudi četrti pogoj iz te sodne prakse, saj bodo sinergije, ki v preteklosti niso mogle biti izkoriščene, izkoriščene s prenovo pravne oblike in statuta, ker ta četrti pogoj ne zahteva, da se mora storitev opravljati na najnižji možni ravni stroškov, ampak da stroški ustrezajo stroškom povprečnega, dobro vodenega podjetja.
According to France Télévisions, as regards the conditions for the compatibility of the notified mechanism with the internal market, since this mechanism is required to last for many years, it will not be possible for the net public service costs to be known with sufficient certainty for the Commission to be able to carry out ex ante checks for the absence of overcompensation.
Skupina France Télévisions v zvezi s pogoji združljivosti priglašenega mehanizma z notranjim trgom, ki bi moral trajati več let, meni, da neto stroškov javne storitve ne bo mogoče dovolj zanesljivo poznati, da bi Komisija lahko predhodno preverila, da ni prekomernega nadomestila.
Whereas the indicative estimates provided for 2010 to 2012 are not incompatible with the possibility to make a reasonable profit or to constitute a reserve limited to 10 % of the annual public service expenditure, the laws and regulations establishing ex post control will in any case enable the proportionality of the financing to be ensured.
Medtem ko informativne ocene za leta od 2010 do 2012 niso nezdružljive z možnostjo, da se ustvarita razumen dobiček ali rezerva v višini do 10 % letnih izdatkov javne storitve, bodo zakoni in drugi predpisi, s katerimi se uvaja naknadni nadzor, vsekakor omogočili, da se zagotovi sorazmernost financiranja.
On the other hand, since the variation in its scheduling costs depends on its editorial choices, France Télévisions considers that it is bound only to respect the public service obligations imposed by the law, with the French Republic free to define their content.
Nasprotno, ker so spremembe v njenih programskih stroških odvisne od uredniških odločitev, skupina France Télévisions meni, da mora spoštovati le obveznosti javne službe, ki jih nalaga zakon, pri čemer Francoska republika svobodno določa njihovo vsebino.
Furthermore, these obligations are also expressed by an audience requirement, which the discontinuance of advertising messages would not reduce.
Poleg tega se te obveznosti kažejo tudi v zahtevi po gledanosti, ki zaradi ukinitve oglasnih sporočil ni nič manjša.
On the contrary, a larger number of programmes will have to be acquired.
Nasprotno, treba bo ustvariti večje število programov.
In its comments of 2 November 2009, Métropole Télévisions (M6) considers that the envisaged financing mechanism constitutes state aid within the meaning of Article 107 of the TFEU, especially since the second and fourth conditions laid down by the Altmark case-law are not met: compensation based on an estimate of loss of commercial revenues which by nature — and in fact — fluctuate could not be considered as based on objective and transparent parameters for the calculation of the public service costs.
Métropole Télévisions (M6) v pripombah z dne 2. novembra 2009 meni, da je predvideni mehanizem financiranja državna pomoč v smislu člena 107 PDEU, zlasti ker nista izpolnjena drugi in četrti pogoj iz sodne prakse Altmark: nadomestila na podlagi ocenjene izgube komercialnih prihodkov, ki po naravi in tudi dejansko nihajo, ni mogoče šteti za nadomestilo na podlagi objektivnih in preglednih parametrov za izračun stroškov javne storitve.
In addition, the basis of the calculation is not the costs of a typical, well-run undertaking of the sector, but that of the costs of France Télévisions, which a large number of indications point to being managed inefficiently, which increases the public service costs to be borne by the community.
Poleg tega osnova za izračun niso stroški povprečnega, dobro vodenega podjetja v tem sektorju, ampak stroški skupine France Télévisions, za katero številne navedbe kažejo, da ni učinkovito vodena, kar povečuje stroške javne storitve, ki jih nosi skupnost.
As regards the compatibility of the measure with the internal market, M6 considers that the planned financing mechanism is illegal as it generates structural overcompensation for the public service costs.
M6 v zvezi z združljivostjo ukrepa z notranjim trgom meni, da je predvideni mehanizem financiranja nezakonit, ker povzroča strukturno prekomerno nadomestilo za stroške javne storitve.
Commission Directive 2006/111/EC of 16 November 2006 on the transparency of financial relations between Member States and public undertakings as well as on financial transparency within certain undertakings [12] requires France to assign the costs and revenues of the service of general interest on the basis of consistently applied cost accounting principles.
Direktiva Komisije 2006/111/ES z dne 16. novembra 2006 o preglednosti finančnih odnosov med državami članicami in javnimi podjetji ter o finančni preglednosti znotraj določenih podjetij [12] določa, da mora Francija stroške in prihodke storitve splošnega pomena dodeliti na podlagi dosledno uporabljanih načel stroškovnega računovodstva.
However, as the Court of Auditors emphasises, France Télévisions does not possess such accounting tools.
Kot je poudarilo računsko sodišče, skupina France Télévisions nima takih računovodskih orodij.
No objective element could therefore serve to calculate the amount of compensation.
Zato naj za izračun zneska nadomestila ne bi bilo mogoče uporabiti nobenega objektivnega elementa.
Overcompensation would be inevitable since the grant is calculated on the basis of commercial revenues which do not come under the public service mission and are not to be taken into account in its costs.
Prekomerno nadomestilo naj bi bilo neizogibno, kajti pomoč se izračuna na podlagi komercialnih prihodkov, ki ne spadajo v opravljanje nalog javne službe in jih ni treba upoštevati v njenih stroških.
The randomness of the lost revenue forecasts and the absence of cost accounting would also make overcompensation inevitable.
Ker so napovedi izgubljenih prihodkov naključne in ker ni analize stroškov, je tudi prekomerno nadomestilo neizogibno.
The integration of the new taxes in the financing mechanism aggravates the negative effects of the aid on the markets for the acquisition of broadcasting rights — where the poor management of France Télévisions, protected by public aid, increases the costs of its competitors — and on advertising activities, which France Télévisions will divert to sponsoring, whereas M6 will be unable to fill the gap left by France Télévisions in view of its different audience profile.
Vključitev novih davkov v mehanizem financiranja še poslabša negativne učinke pomoči na trge nakupa avdiovizualnih pravic – kjer slabo vodenje skupine France Télévisions, ki jo varujejo državne pomoči, povečuje stroške konkurentov – in na oglaševalsko dejavnost, ki jo bo skupina France Télévisions preusmerila v sponzoriranje, ne da bi M6, ki ima drugačen profil gledalcev, prevzela prostor, ki se je sprostil z odhodom skupine France Télévisions.
Under these conditions, only ex post financing could be justified.
V teh okoliščinah bi lahko bilo upravičeno le naknadno financiranje.
The mechanism would therefore be structurally illegal in the absence of the introduction of independent ex post control mechanisms effectively guaranteeing the absence of overcompensation on the basis of real figures, the implementation of which would be ineffective in France, according to M6.
Zato naj bi bil mehanizem strukturno nezakonit, ker niso vzpostavljeni mehanizmi neodvisnega naknadnega nadzora, ki dejansko in na podlagi resničnih številk zagotavljajo, da ni prekomernega nadomestila, in katerih izvajanje je v Franciji po mnenju M6 neučinkovito.
In its comments of 2 November 2009, Télévision Française 1 (TF1) relocates the reform of the financing of France Télévisions in a context of structural changes affecting the advertising market, in which the Internet is experiencing strong growth.
Télévision Française 1 (TF1) v pripombah z dne 2. novembra 2009 reformo financiranja skupine France Télévisions umešča v kontekst strukturnih sprememb, ki zadevajo oglaševalski trg, kjer je internet v izrazitem vzponu.
For 2008, the taxes paid by TF1 accounted for 60 % of its result.
Za leto 2008 so davki in dajatve, ki jih je plačala TF1, predstavljali 60 % njenega poslovnega izida.
On the other hand, multiannual contracts for the acquisition of rights, price inflation and the inelasticity of costs, including those of scheduling attributable to the regulatory obligations whereby the production and broadcasting of French and European works must represent 30 % of the total, reduce its room for manoeuvre, according to TF1.
Vendar večletne pogodbe o pridobitvi pravic, inflacija cen in togost stroškov, med katerimi so programski stroški, v katerih prevladujejo zakonske obveznosti, da morata produkcija in predvajanje francoskih in evropskih del predstavljati 30 %, po mnenju TF1 zmanjšujejo njen manevrski prostor.
In parallel, its liability to a new broadcasting tax would reinforce the distortions of competition in the market.
Vzporedno naj bi to, da je zavezana za plačilo novega avdiovizualnega davka, še bolj izkrivilo konkurenco na trgu.
The potential transfer of advertisers’ demand to TF1 is the declared object of the tax on advertising revenue of broadcasters.
Morebitna preusmeritev povpraševanja oglaševalcev na TF1 je javno razglašeni predmet davka na avdiovizualno oglaševanje.
considers that the tax constitutes state aid in two capacities: firstly, France Télévisions will in fact no longer be required to pay after 30 November 2011 (date on which it will be obliged to discontinue the advertising messages for which the payments constitute the assessment basis) and, secondly, France Télévisions will be the beneficiary of the resources raised by this tax, since it emerges from many governmental and parliamentary statements during the debates on the draft law that this is allocated to financing the aid.
meni, da je ta davek državna pomoč zaradi dveh razlogov: ker ga skupini France Télévisions po 30. novembru 2011 (ko bo morala ukiniti oglasna sporočila, katerih plačila spadajo v davčno osnovo) dejansko ne bo več treba plačevati in ker bo skupina France Télévisions prejela sredstva, zbrana iz tega naslova, saj iz številnih vladnih in parlamentarnih izjav na razpravah o osnutku zakona izhaja, da je ta davek namenjen financiranju pomoči.
Irrespective of its intrinsic legality, the tax regime which finances it should therefore be taken into consideration to assess the aid.
Torej je pri presoji pomoči treba upoštevati sistem obdavčenja, s katerim se financira ta pomoč, neodvisno od njegove bistvene zakonitosti.
considers that it is subject to obligations comparable to those imposed on France Télévisions, the programmes of which do not apparently differ greatly from its own.
meni, da zanjo veljajo obveznosti, primerljive z obveznostmi skupine France Télévisions, katere programi niso dosti drugačni od njenih.
Even though TF1 welcomes the recasting of the agreement relating to objectives and means and the terms of reference following the reform of public broadcasting, it considers, on the basis of the opinion of the Court of Auditors, that the public broadcasting service supply is insufficiently individualised.
Čeprav je TF1 naklonjena spremembi pogodbe o ciljih in sredstvih ter specifikacije po reformi javnih avdiovizualnih medijev, na podlagi mnenja računskega sodišča meni, da ponudba storitve javne radiotelevizije ni dovolj individualizirana.
It is therefore underlined that, in the former terms of reference, the quantitative broadcasting obligations represented 10 % of the programme schedules.
Poudarja, da so v starih specifikacijah kvantitativne obveznosti oddajanja predstavljale 10 % programske sheme.
The cost control and quality of the management of France Télévisions are just as inadequate, which means that the public service is not provided at the least cost to the community and generates a risk of overcompensation.
Prav tako naj bi bila nezadostna obvladovanje stroškov in vodenje skupine France Télévisions, zaradi česar stroški javne storitve za skupnost niso najnižji in nastane tveganje za prekomerno nadomestilo.
The Commission should therefore check, in this respect, the growth in profits from commercial activities, the synergies which should result after 2009 from the creation of a single enterprise France Télévisions and the reduced pressure on the costs of the programme schedule resulting from lesser dependence on advertisers.
Zato bi Komisija s tega vidika morala preveriti rast dobička iz komercialnih dejavnosti, sinergije, ki bi morale nastati po letu 2009 zaradi ustanovitve enotnega podjetja France Télévisions, in manjši pritisk na stroške programske sheme, ki je posledica manjše odvisnosti od oglaševalcev.
V. COMMENTS OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC
V. PRIPOMBE FRANCOSKE REPUBLIKE
In its comments forwarded on 7 October 2009 and subsequently clarified, as regards the application of Article 106(2) of the TFEU, the French Republic refers in particular to the doubts expressed by the Commission concerning, on the one hand, the proportionality of the public financing and the risk of overcompensation and, on the other hand, the taking into consideration of the new taxes introduced by the reform of public broadcasting for the purposes of assessing the compatibility of the notified measure with the internal market.
Francoska republika se v zvezi z uporabo člena 106(2) PDEU v pripombah, predloženih 7. oktobra 2009, in nato v pojasnilih med drugim sklicuje na dvome, ki jih je izrazila Komisija po eni strani v zvezi s sorazmernostjo javnega financiranja in tveganjem za prekomerno nadomestilo ter po drugi strani v zvezi z upoštevanjem novih davkov, uvedenih z reformo javnih avdiovizualnih medijev, pri oceni združljivosti priglašenega ukrepa z notranjim trgom.
Proportionality of the financing and ex post control of the risk of overcompensation
Sorazmernost financiranja in naknadni nadzor tveganja za prekomerno nadomestilo
The French Republic specifies that the notified measure is not compensation for the loss of advertising revenues of the France Télévisions group, although the estimates provided for information take account of this, but financing intended to cover the costs of performance of the public service mission.
Francoska republika pojasnjuje, da priglašeni ukrep ni nadomestilo za izgubo prihodkov iz oglaševanja v skupini France Télévisions, čeprav je ta izguba upoštevana v predvidenih okvirnih zneskih, ampak financiranje, namenjeno pokrivanju stroškov opravljanja nalog javne službe.
The financing requirements will in fact have to evolve in accordance with the changes in the costs of the programme schedule, fluctuations in commercial revenues or broadcasting media.
Potrebe po financiranju se bodo namreč morale razvijati glede na spremembe v programski shemi, nihanja komercialnih prihodkov ali sredstva razširjanja.
The French Republic emphasises that the ex ante confirmation of the absence of risk of overcompensation must be undertaken by verifying the existence of legislative and regulatory control mechanisms, in accordance with the case-law and practical application by the Commission, and not in relation to the indicative estimates of grant and costs given for the future.
Francoska republika poudarja, da je treba neobstoj tveganja za prekomerno nadomestilo predhodno potrditi s preverjanjem obstoja zakonskih in regulativnih mehanizmov nadzora v skladu s sodno prakso in prakso Komisije, ne pa glede na predvidene okvirne zneske pomoči in stroškov v prihodnosti.
The indicative amounts are provided for illustration, in the light of the business plan approved by the supervisory authorities and France Télévisions.
Okvirni zneski so le informativni glede na poslovni načrt, ki so ga odobrili pristojni organi in skupina France Télévisions.
The method used to calculate the grant is not based on the estimate of the fall in advertising revenues of France Télévisions.
Metoda za izračun pomoči ne temelji na ocenjenem znižanju prihodkov iz oglaševanja v skupini France Télévisions.
The calculation will be based on a general formula, such as: the combined total for each year of the television licence fee and the budget allocation will be proportional to the cost of the public service mission of France Télévisions, minus its commercial revenues, with due regard for the commitments of the French Republic and the ex post control mechanisms established by laws and regulations.
Izračun bo temeljil na taki splošni formuli, da bo za vsako leto skupni znesek televizijske naročnine in dodeljenih proračunskih sredstev ob spoštovanju zavez Francoske republike in mehanizmov naknadnega nadzora, določenih z zakoni in drugimi predpisi, sorazmeren s stroški naloge javne službe, ki jo opravlja skupina France Télévisions, od katerega se odštejejo komercialni prihodki.
In addition, as regards the new innovative audiovisual services mentioned in the Broadcasting Communication, the French Republic stresses that a certain number are already provided for in the new terms of reference of France Télévisions and the amended agreement relating to objectives and means, which have been and will be the subject of the prior, regular controls and consultations described above.
Poleg tega Francoska republika v zvezi z novimi inovativnimi avdiovizualnimi storitvami, omenjenimi v sporočilu o radioteleviziji, poudarja, da je določeno število takih storitev, že predvidenih v novi specifikaciji za skupino France Télévisions in dopolnjeni pogodbi o ciljih in sredstvih, bilo in bo predmet zgoraj opisanih predhodnih in rednih nadzorov in posvetovanj.
For the future, France considers that the launch of any significant new service must be dealt with under the agreement relating to objectives and means, with the same controls applying.
Francija meni, da bo v prihodnosti zagon vsake pomembne nove storitve moral biti obravnavan v pogodbi o ciljih in sredstvih in predmet enakega nadzora.
Furthermore, since the Broadcasting Communication took effect after the initiation of the present procedure, the French Republic undertakes to complete its ex post financial control mechanism to comply with the rules newly specified in this Communication with regard to financial control mechanisms.
Poleg tega se Francoska republika ob upoštevanju dejstva, da je sporočilo o radioteleviziji začelo veljati po začetku tega postopka, zavezuje, da bo izpopolnila mehanizem naknadnega finančnega nadzora, da bo ustrezal na novo pojasnjenim pravilom za mehanizme finančnega nadzora iz tega sporočila.
