The Portuguese authorities have provided examples showing how the parameters used to calculate the prices set in the orders were applied.
Portugalski organi so priložili primere uporabe parametrov, na podlagi katerih so bile določene cene v navedenih odlokih.
In conclusion, the Portuguese State considers that the aid granted can be declared compatible because a derogation from the polluter pays principle is applicable, because the aid corresponds to the cost of the services provided, and because the guidelines applicable at the time (Community guidelines for State aid concerning TSE tests, fallen stock and slaughterhouse waste [19]) authorised aid of up to 100 % of the actual costs, as this was short term.
Portugalska država torej meni, da se lahko dodeljena pomoč razglasi za združljivo na podlagi odstopanja od načela „plača povzročitelj obremenitve“, ker je ustrezala stroškom zagotovljenih storitev in ker so takrat veljavne smernice (Smernice za državno pomoč za teste TSE, poginule živali in klavniške odpadke [19]) določale, da lahko pomoč zaradi svoje kratkotrajnosti pokriva do 100 % dejanskih stroškov.
From October 2002, the legal basis for paying the charge became Decree-Law No 197/2002.
Od oktobra 2002 je bila pravna podlaga za plačevanje dajatev zakonski odlok iz leta 2002.
The Portuguese authorities consider that the charges in question took into account the prices to be paid for the operations carried out by the by-product processing units.
Portugalski organi menijo, da je bila v teh dajatvah upoštevana višina nadomestil za dejavnosti, ki so jih morale opraviti enote za predelavo stranskih proizvodov.
However, given that the crisis was still ongoing, the Portuguese authorities consider that the State’s intervention as an intermediary was still justified.
Vendar ker kriza še ni minila, je bil po mnenju portugalskih organov poseg države kot posrednice še vedno upravičen.
In the simulations carried out at the time, the full costs borne by the undertakings and a reasonable profit were taken into account.
V simulacijah, ki so bile takrat izvedene, so bili upoštevani vsi stroški podjetij in zmeren dobiček.
The Portuguese authorities have provided the worked example based on the costs and charges for 2003, which, in their opinion, proves the balance between the revenue and charges resulting from the new legal rules, and sets the charges required to finance the services.
Portugalski organi so predložili primer, pripravljen na podlagi stroškov in obveznosti za leto 2003, ki po njihovem mnenju dokazuje ravnovesje med prihodki in stroški, povezanimi z delovanjem nove pravne ureditve, in ki določa višino dajatev za financiranje storitev.
The Portuguese authorities also state that the services of collection, transportation, processing and destruction of poultrymeat by-products were not financed from the charges imposed on slaughterhouses and importers of bovine and pig carcasses, half-carcasses and other bone-in parts.
Portugalski organi navajajo tudi, da storitve zbiranja, prevoza, predelave in uničevanja stranskih proizvodov iz perutninskega mesa niso bile financirane z dajatvami, odmerjenimi klavnicam ter uvoznikom govejih in prašičjih trupov, polovic trupov in drugih kosov s kostmi.
The Portuguese authorities point out that the provisions of Article 2(1) of Decree-Law No 197/2002 must be interpreted in light of the provisions of Annex 1, to which they refer, with the result that the services of collection, transportation, processing and destruction of meat by-products were financed by three types of operator: beef, pig, sheep/goat, poultry and other slaughterhouses; importers of bovine and pig carcasses, half-carcasses and other bone-in parts; and intra-Community operators in the same products.
Pojasnjujejo, da je – ker je treba določbe člena 2(1) zakonskega odloka iz leta 2002 razlagati v povezavi z določbami Priloge 1, ki so navedene v tem členu – jasno, da so storitve zbiranja, prevoza, predelave in uničevanja mesnih stranskih proizvodov financirale tri kategorije subjektov: klavnice goveda, prašičev, ovac/koz, perutnine in drugih živali, uvozniki govejih in prašičjih trupov, polovic trupov in drugih kosov s kostmi ter trgovci s temi proizvodi znotraj Skupnosti.
Accordingly, Annex 1 contains a column indicating the charges to be imposed on poultry slaughterhouses not collecting, transporting, processing and destroying by-products generated during the slaughter of poultry, bearing in mind that most imported poultry carcasses do not generate by-products.
Tako Priloga 1 vsebuje stolpec, v katerem so navedeni odmerjeni zneski za perutninske klavnice, ki niso zagotavljale zbiranja, prevoza, predelave in uničevanja stranskih proizvodov, nastalih pri zakolu perutnine, ob upoštevanju dejstva, da pri večini uvoženih trupov perutnine ni stranskih proizvodov.
The Portuguese authorities also state that the difference between the two charges set in Annex 2 to Decree-Law No 197/2002 was justified by the costs associated with the by-products generated in cutting plants.
Portugalski organi prav tako navajajo, da je razlika med dajatvama, določenima v Prilogi 2 k zakonskemu odloku iz leta 2002, upravičena zaradi stroškov v zvezi s stranskimi proizvodi, ki nastanejo v razsekovalnicah.
The Portuguese authorities state that, in accordance with Decree-Laws No 197/2002 and No 244/2003, it was not intended that the charges should have an impact on livestock farmers, although the costs of the collection, transportation, processing and destruction operations did in fact impact on the whole meat sector.
Po navedbah portugalskih organov v zakonskih odlokih iz leta 2002 in iz leta 2003 ni bilo predvideno, da bi se dajatve prenesle na rejce, čeprav so bili stroški dejavnosti zbiranja, prevoza, predelave in uničevanja dejansko preneseni na celoten sektor mesa.
To that end, the Portuguese authorities have provided two service invoices dated 22 October 2002 and 28 October 2003, which, in their opinion, prove that the costs of the collection, transportation, processing and destruction operations were passed on by slaughterhouses to livestock farmers.
Portugalski organi so v zvezi s tem predložili računa za storitve z dne 22. oktobra 2002 in 28. oktobra 2003, ki po njihovem mnenju dokazujeta, da so klavnice prenesle stroške dejavnosti zbiranja, prevoza, predelave in uničevanja na rejce.
Finally, the Portuguese authorities give an assurance that no resources were diverted to any competing activities by the service-providers, given that the latter’s sole activity was the collection, transportation, processing and destruction of animal by-products.
Portugalski organi nazadnje zatrjujejo, da podjetja, ki so zagotavljala storitve, sredstev nikoli niso uporabila za morebitne konkurenčne dejavnosti, ker so opravljala izključno dejavnosti zbiranja, prevoza, predelave in uničevanja živalskih stranskih proizvodov.
The Portuguese authorities also indicate that the transitional scheme set up by Decree-Law No 244/2003 expired in November 2005 and that, since then, entities generating by-products have fully assumed the responsibility that the State initially assumed on a temporary basis, in its place.
Portugalska še omenja, da je prehodna ureditev, uvedena z zakonskim odlokom iz leta 2003, prenehala veljati novembra 2005 in da so odtlej obrati, ki ustvarjajo stranske proizvode, v celoti prevzeli odgovornost, ki jo je namesto njih začasno sprejela država.
Since November 2005, all costs have been borne by operators, which offset these through waste recovery, conversion into biofuels and export of meal.
Od novembra 2005 vse stroške nosijo subjekti z iztržki od odpadkov, ki se predelujejo v biogoriva, in z izvozom moke.
In conclusion, the Portuguese authorities consider that the conditions laid down in the applicable guidelines were met, given that the operators generating by-products started to gradually pay for the operations associated with the destruction of these by-products through a charge.
Skratka, portugalski organi menijo, da so bili pogoji iz veljavnih smernic izpolnjeni, ker so subjekti, ki ustvarjajo stranske proizvode, z zadevno dajatvijo postopno začeli plačevati za dejavnosti, povezane z uničevanjem stranskih proizvodov.
COMMENTS OF OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES
PRIPOMBE ZAINTERESIRANIH TRETJIH STRANI
These undertakings provide services of collection, transportation, processing and destruction of Category 1, 2 and 3 animal by-products in Portugal and are among the undertakings which the Portuguese State used to provide the services in question during the period concerned.
Ti podjetji na Portugalskem zagotavljata storitve zbiranja, prevoza, predelave in uničevanja stranskih proizvodov živalskega izvora kategorij 1, 2 in 3 ter sta med podjetji, ki jih je država najela za opravljanje navedenih storitev v obravnavanem obdobju.
Consequently, ETSA is regarded as a recipient of the state payments and may therefore be deemed an interested party in Case C 3/09.
Zaradi tega se skupina ETSA obravnava kot prejemnica plačil države in se lahko šteje za zainteresirano stran v primeru C 3/09.
As a preliminary point, ETSA notes the context of the BSE crisis, which forced the Portuguese State to adopt a number of preventive measures (specifically the collection, transportation, processing and destruction of Category 1, 2 and 3 animal by-products) to combat and reduce the risk of infection by BSE, so as to protect public health and the environment.
V uvodu skupina ETSA opozarja na okoliščine krize BSE, ki so portugalsko državo prisilile v sprejetje preventivnih ukrepov (med katerimi so storitve zbiranja, prevoza, predelave in uničevanja stranskih proizvodov živalskega izvora kategorij 1, 2 in 3), katerih namen je bil zoperstaviti se bolezni in zmanjšati tveganje za okužbe, da bi se zavarovala javno zdravje in okolje.
These measures were largely adopted as a result of obligations laid down in Community legislation.
Precejšen del teh ukrepov je bil sprejet na podlagi zakonodaje Skupnosti.
Between 1998 and 2005, INGA contracted ITS and SEBOL, through a direct award procedure, to provide services of collection, transportation, processing and destruction of waste.
Zavod INGA je v obdobju 1998–2005 neposredno dodelil storitve zbiranja, prevoza, predelave in uničevanja odpadkov podjetjema ITS in SEBOL.
ETSA notes that all the undertakings capable of providing the required services were contracted under the same conditions.
Skupina ETSA navaja, da so bila vsa podjetja, ki so izpolnjevala zahteve za zagotavljanje teh storitev, najeta pod enakimi pogoji.
The price was set in proportion to the weight of raw material and could be revised in the light of changes to the service provision conditions.
Cena je bila določena glede na težo surovine in jo je bilo mogoče prilagoditi, če bi se spremenili pogoji za opravljanje storitev.
The price paid to SEBOL and ITS took account of the estimated costs of providing the service, particularly those associated with the weight and volume of waste to be collected and treated and with the operational establishment and management of the system for collecting fallen stock from holdings, which, for example, meant collection within a short period of time after notification of the animal’s death.
V ceni, plačani podjetjema SEBOL in ITS, so bili upoštevani ocenjeni stroški zagotavljanja storitev, zlasti tisti v zvezi s težo in količino odpadkov, ki jih je bilo treba zbrati in obdelati, ter izvajanjem in upravljanjem sistema za zbiranje poginulih živali pri subjektih, ki je med drugim predvideval hitro odstranitev po obvestilu o smrti živali.
ETSA points out that, although the service was not awarded through a public procurement procedure, the price paid for the service provided covered the respective costs, taking into account the relevant receipts, and only allowed a reasonable and legitimate profit to be made.
Skupina ETSA poudarja, da čeprav storitve niso bile dodeljene z javnim razpisom, je znesek nadomestila pokrival zadevne stroške ob upoštevanju skupnih prihodkov in omogočal zgolj zmerno in legitimno stopnjo dobička.
It also notes that the level of remuneration for the service was always, in its opinion, in line with the principle of efficiency, as the price paid by INGA was within the European average of prices for equivalent services, and the prices paid until 2005 were actually, according to ETSA, lower than the prices subsequently applied in the contracts for the provision of the same services, concluded following public procurement procedures intended to help define the remuneration in line with market criteria.
Po navedbah skupine ETSA se je raven nadomestila vedno zdela v skladu z načelom učinkovitosti, saj je cena, ki jo je plačeval zavod INGA, ustrezala evropskemu povprečju cen za enakovredne storitve in so bile po njenem mnenju cene, plačane do leta 2005, dejansko nižje od tistih, ki so bile uporabljene pozneje v pogodbah o opravljanju enakih storitev, sklenjenih – da bi se lažje določila višina nadomestila glede na tržna merila – z oddajo javnih naročil.
From 2005 the service contracts were awarded through international public procurement procedures.
Od leta 2005 so se pogodbe o opravljanju storitev sklepale v okviru mednarodnih javnih naročil.
Three public procurement procedures were organised: beef/equine at national level; sheep/goats (South) and sheep/goats (North).
Objavljeni so bili trije javni razpisi: govedo/enoprsti kopitarji na nacionalni ravni, ovce/koze (jug) in ovce/koze (sever).
ITS took part in these public procurement procedures as part of a consortium which was awarded the contract.
Podjetje ITS je predložilo ponudbo prek konzorcija, ki mu je bilo dodeljeno naročilo.
Three service provision contracts were concluded for the three lots mentioned.
Za tri navedene sklope so bile sklenjene tri pogodbe o opravljanju storitev.
ETSA indicates that the conditions included the collection, transportation, processing and destruction of waste, as well as keeping a permanent and up-to-date register and archive on the operations.
Izmed pogojev skupina ETSA navaja zlasti zbiranje, prevoz, predelavo in uničevanje odpadkov ter vodenje stalnega in posodobljenega registra in arhiva teh dejavnosti.
The Instituto de Financiamento da Agricultura e Pescas — IFAP I.P. was responsible for ensuring compliance with the obligations.
Za zagotavljanje spoštovanja pogojev je skrbel zavod IFAP (Instituto de Financiamento da Agricultura e Pescas).
ETSA points out that the contracts concluded established the prices beforehand in an objective and transparent manner, according to the tonnage and species of animal in question.
Skupina ETSA poudarja, da so bile cene oblikovane predhodno v sklenjenih pogodbah, in sicer na objektiven in pregleden način ter glede na količino in vrsto zadevnih živali.
In its opinion, the prices were set according to market conditions and ensured adequate coverage of the costs incurred in order to comply with the public service obligations, as listed in the service provision contracts and relevant legislation.
Po njenem mnenju so bile te cene določene po tržnih pogojih in so zagotavljale ustrezno kritje stroškov, ki so nastali zaradi izpolnjevanja obveznosti javnih storitev, predvidenih v pogodbah o opravljanju storitev in zadevni zakonodaji.
ETSA concludes that, given the above, it did not benefit from any illegal aid and that all the funds received were simply legitimate consideration for the provision of a public service.
Na podlagi teh elementov skupina ETSA sklepa, da ni bila deležna nobene nezakonite pomoči, temveč da so bila vsa sredstva samo legitimno nadomestilo za zagotavljanje javnih storitev.
Under Article 107(1) TFEU, save as otherwise provided in the Treaties, any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods are, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, incompatible with the internal market.
V skladu s členom 107(1) Pogodbe PDEU je vsaka pomoč, ki jo dodeli država članica, ali kakršna koli vrsta pomoči iz državnih sredstev, ki z dajanjem prednosti posameznim podjetjem ali proizvodnji posameznega blaga izkrivlja ali bi lahko izkrivljala konkurenco, nezdružljiva s skupnim trgom, kolikor prizadene trgovino med državami članicami, razen če ta pogodba ne določa drugače.
Articles 107 to 109 TFEU apply to the pigmeat sector pursuant to Article 21 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2759/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in pigmeat [20], as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1913/2005 [21].
Členi 107 do 109 PDEU se uporabljajo v sektorju prašičjega mesa na podlagi člena 21 Uredbe Sveta (EGS) št. 2759/75 z dne 29. oktobra 1975 o skupni ureditvi trga za te proizvode [20], ki je bila nazadnje spremenjena z Uredbo (ES) št. 1913/2005 [21].
These articles apply to the beef and veal sectors pursuant to Article 40 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal [22], as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1152/2007 [23].
V sektorju govejega in telečjega mesa se uporabljajo na podlagi člena 40 Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 1254/1999 z dne 17. maja 1999 o skupni ureditvi trga za te proizvode [22], nazadnje spremenjene z Uredbo (ES) št. 1152/2007 [23].
Before the latter was adopted, these articles applied to this sector pursuant to Article 24 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 [24].
Pred sprejetjem zadnjenavedene uredbe so se ti členi v istem sektorju uporabljali na podlagi člena 24 Uredbe Sveta (EGS) št. 805/68 [24].
They apply to the sheepmeat and goatmeat sectors pursuant to Article 22 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2467/98 of 3 November 1998 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat [25], as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1913/2005.
Zadevni členi se v sektorju ovčjega in kozjega mesa uporabljajo na podlagi člena 22 Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 2467/98 z dne 3. novembra 1998 o skupni ureditvi trga za te proizvode [25], ki je bila nazadnje spremenjena z Uredbo (ES) št. 1913/2005.
They apply to the poultrymeat sector pursuant to Article 19 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2777/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organisation of the market in poultrymeat [26], as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 679/2006 [27].
V sektorju perutninskega mesa se uporabljajo na podlagi člena 19 Uredbe Sveta (EGS) št. 2777/75 z dne 29. oktobra 1975 o skupni tržni ureditvi za te proizvode [26], ki je bila nazadnje spremenjena z Uredbo (ES) št. 679/2006 [27].
Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) [28] repealed these various regulations and provides, in Article 180 thereof, that the State aid rules apply to the aforementioned products.
Z Uredbo Sveta (ES) št. 1234/2007 z dne 22. oktobra 2007 o vzpostavitvi skupne ureditve kmetijskih trgov in o posebnih določbah za nekatere kmetijske proizvode („Uredba o enotni SUT“) [28] so bile te različne uredbe razveljavljene, v njenem členu 180 pa je bilo določeno, da se pravila o državni pomoči uporabljajo za zgoraj navedene proizvode.
The nature of the aid must be determined in light of all the beneficiaries of the services of collection, transportation, processing and destruction of slaughterhouse waste and their financing.
Naravo pomoči je treba ugotavljati na ravni vseh, ki so imeli korist od storitev zbiranja, prevoza, predelave in uničevanja klavniških odpadkov ter od financiranja teh dejavnosti.
The Commission has identified the following categories of potential beneficiaries of the scheme introduced in Portugal:
Komisija je med tistimi, ki bi lahko imeli korist od sistema, uvedenega na Portugalskem, opredelila naslednje kategorije:
undertakings providing the services of collection, transportation, processing and destruction of the material in question,
podjetja, ki so zagotavljala storitve zbiranja, prevoza in uničevanja zadevnih snovi,
slaughterhouses and cutting plants, importers of bone-in beef, veal, pigmeat and poultrymeat, and intra-Community operators, i.e. bone-in beef, veal and pigmeat operators/receivers,
klavnice in razsekovalnice, uvozniki govedine, teletine, svinine in perutninskega mesa s kostmi ter trgovci znotraj Skupnosti, tj. trgovci z govedino, teletino in svinino s kostmi oziroma prevzemniki teh proizvodov,
livestock farmers.
rejci.
In order to assess the potential aid over time, the Commission identified four periods in its decision to initiate the procedure, taking into account the application of the various Community provisions relevant to the analysis of potential aid measures.
Kar zadeva ocenjevanje morebitne pomoči skozi čas, je Komisija v odločitvi o sprožitvi postopka razlikovala med štirimi obdobji glede na veljavnost različnih ustreznih določb Skupnosti za analizo morebitnih ukrepov pomoči.
The Commission identified: the period from 1998 to 31 December 1999, which was the period preceding the entry into force of the guidelines for State aid in the agriculture sector; the period from 1 January 2000 to 31 December 2002, which was the period preceding the entry into force of the Community guidelines for State aid concerning TSE tests, fallen stock and slaughterhouse waste; the period from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2006, which was the period preceding the entry into force of the new Community guidelines for State aid in the agriculture and forestry sector 2007 to 2013 [29]; and the period from 1 January 2007 to the present.
Upoštevala je obdobje od leta 1998 do 31. decembra 1999, preden so začele veljati Smernice o državni pomoči v kmetijskem sektorju, obdobje od 1. januarja 2000 do 31. decembra 2002, preden so začele veljati smernice o državni pomoči za odstranjevanje klavniških odpadkov in poginulih živali ter za stroške testiranja na transmisivno spongiformno encefalopatijo (TSE), obdobje od 1. januarja 2003 do 31. decembra 2006, preden so začele veljati nove smernice o državni pomoči v kmetijskem sektorju [29], in obdobje od 1. januarja 2007 do danes.
Given the new information provided by the Portuguese authorities, particularly on the application of Decree-Law No 244/2003, as described above, and on the various methods of financing the potential aid, the Commission will slightly alter the division of these periods and will therefore take account of the following periods in its assessment of each group of potential beneficiaries:
Glede na nove podatke portugalskih organov, zlasti o uporabi zgoraj opisanega zakonskega odloka iz leta 2003 in različnih načinih financiranja morebitnih pomoči, bo Komisija nekoliko spremenila razlikovanje med različnimi obdobji in v svoji oceni za vsako skupino možnih prejemnikov pomoči upoštevala naslednja obdobja:
period between 9 December 1998 and 9 October 2002, during which Decree-Law No 393-B/98 was in force,
obdobje od 9. decembra 1998 do 9. oktobra 2002, ko se je uporabljal zakonski odlok iz leta 1998,
period between 10 October 2002 and 21 October 2003, during which Decree-Law No 197/2002 was in force, except for Annex 2, the application of which was extended under the transitional scheme laid down in Decree-Law No 244/2003,
obdobje od 10. oktobra 2002 do 21. oktobra 2003, ko se je uporabljal zakonski odlok iz leta 2002, razen Priloge 2, katere veljavnost je bila podaljšana v okviru prehodne ureditve, predvidene v zakonskem odloku iz leta 2003,
period between 22 October 2003 and November 2005, during which the transitional scheme laid down in Decree-Law No 244/2003 was in force.
obdobje od 22. oktobra 2003 do novembra 2005, ko se je uporabljala prehodna ureditev, predvidena v zakonskem odloku iz leta 2003.
According to settled case-law of the Court of Justice, measures which, whatever their form, are likely directly or indirectly to favour certain undertakings or are to be regarded as an economic advantage which the recipient undertaking would not have obtained under normal market conditions are regarded as aid [30].
V skladu z ustaljeno sodno prakso Sodišča se za pomoč štejejo ukrepi, ki lahko ne glede na obliko neposredno ali posredno dajo prednost podjetjem ali se obravnavajo kot ekonomska ugodnost, ki je prejemnik v običajnih tržnih pogojih ne bi prejel [30].
