Moreover, as for new measures, the Commission must assess the compatibility of existing measures with the Treaty rules for the future and must not necessarily demonstrate that the measure has, in the past, produced effects that are incompatible with the Treaty .
Poleg tega mora Komisija, tako kot za nove ukrepe, oceniti združljivost obstoječih ukrepov s pravili Pogodbe za prihodnost in ji ni treba nujno dokazati, da je imel ukrep v preteklosti učinke, ki niso združljivi s Pogodbo .
Moreover, the Commission cannot order recovery of the advantages that may already have been generated by an existing aid measure.
Komisija tudi ne more odrediti izterjave ugodnosti, ki so bile morebiti že dodeljene z veljavno pomočjo.
Accordingly, nor is it necessary to demonstrate the specific effects of the guarantee on borrowing terms.
Zato tudi dokazovanje konkretnih učinkov poroštva na pogoje financiranja ni potreben.
Given the unlimited nature of the guarantee, it is not possible to calculate the amount of the market premium that La Poste should pay to the State, which renders the transfer mechanism proposed by the French authorities inapplicable
Ob upoštevanju neomejenosti poroštva ni mogoče izračunati zneska tržne premije, ki bi jo podjetje La Poste moralo plačati državi, zaradi česar je mehanizem retrocesije, ki so ga predlagali francoski organi, neupošteven
On the basis of the above, the Commission concludes that the guarantee enjoyed by La Poste is unlimited with regard to duration, amount and scope, and is not remunerated.
Komisija na podlagi zgoraj navedenega ugotavlja, da so trajanje, znesek in obseg poroštva za podjetje La Poste neomejeni ter da se za poroštvo ne plačuje.
Moreover, it covers both universal service activities and competitive activities.
Poleg tega sočasno pokriva dejavnosti univerzalne poštne storitve in konkurenčne dejavnosti.
The Commission takes the view that, having regard to the unlimited nature of the state guarantee in favour of La Poste, and in accordance with the Commission’s decision-making practice, it is not possible to calculate the amount of the market premium that La Poste would have to pay to the State for granting it the unlimited guarantee.
Komisija meni, da glede na neomejenost državnega poroštva v korist podjetja La Poste in v skladu s prakso odločanja Komisije ni mogoče izračunati zneska tržne premije, ki bi jo podjetje La Poste moralo plačati državi za dodelitev tega neomejenega poroštva.
For any guarantee, the aid is granted at the time the guarantee is offered.
Pri vsakem poroštvu je namreč pomoč odobrena, ko je poroštvo ponujeno.
In the case of an unlimited guarantee, which may potentially cover all the undertakings debts for an unlimited period, it is impossible to determine in advance the amount of aid granted at the time the guarantee is given, and therefore impossible to calculate an appropriate market premium .
V primeru neomejenega poroštva, ki lahko potencialno pokriva vse dolgove podjetja za nedoločen čas, je nemogoče ob odobritvi vnaprej določiti znesek dodeljene pomoči in torej izračunati ustrezno tržno premijo .
This makes the transfer mechanism proposed by the French authorities inapplicable.
S tem mehanizem retrocesije, ki so ga predlagali francoski organi, postane neupošteven.
The more favourable borrowing terms obtained by La Poste thanks to the implied state guarantee constitute a selective advantage
Ugodnejši pogoji financiranja, ki jih je pridobilo podjetje La Poste zaradi implicitnega državnega poroštva, pomenijo selektivno prednost
The advantage is selective because La Poste’s competitors do not enjoy the same advantage: La Poste’s competitors are, in effect, subject to compulsory liquidation and winding-up procedures; they do not benefit from the unlimited state guarantee linked to the status of publicly owned establishment.
Prednost je selektivna, ker je konkurenti podjetja La Poste niso deležni: za konkurente podjetja La Poste namreč veljajo sodni postopki sanacije in likvidacije; konkurenti niti niso upravičeni do neomejenega državnega poroštva, povezanega s statusom osebe javnega prava.
The measure at issue is liable to result in a reduction in La Poste’s operating costs, which would have the effect of favouring La Poste and hence of distorting competition within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU.
Obravnavani ukrep lahko privede do znižanja stroškov poslovanja podjetja La Poste, zaradi česar bi to lahko pridobilo prednost in zaradi česar bi lahko prišlo do izkrivljanja konkurence v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
Moreover, in view of the fact that the sectors in which La Poste is active, i.e. inter alia the distribution of parcels, unaddressed deliveries and letters the distribution of which is not reserved for La Poste, are largely open to intra-Community trade, such measures might have an unfavourable impact on undertakings which carry on, or which wish to develop, a similar economic activity in France.
Glede na to, da so sektorji, v katerih je podjetje La Poste dejavno, zlasti dostava paketov, nenaslovljenih pošiljk in pisem, katerih dostava ni pridržana podjetju La Poste, široko odprti trgovini v Evropski uniji, bi poleg tega taki ukrepi lahko neugodno vplivali na podjetja, ki so razvila ali ki želijo razviti podobno gospodarsko dejavnost v Franciji.
CONCLUSION AS TO THE AID NATURE OF THE MEASURE
UGOTOVITEV, DA JE UKREP PO NARAVI POMOČ
The state guarantee in favour of La Poste by virtue of its having the legal form of a publicly owned establishment therefore leads to a transfer of state resources imputable to the State and distorts or threatens to distort competition and trade between Member States by favouring La Poste.
Državno poroštvo v korist podjetja La Poste zaradi njegovega statusa osebe javnega prava torej povzroči prenos državnih sredstev, za katerega je odgovorna država, in izkrivlja ali bi lahko izkrivljalo konkurenco in trgovino med državami članicami z dajanjem prednosti podjetju La Poste.
The Commission concludes that this guarantee constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU.
Komisija ugotavlja, da to poroštvo pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
In view of the fact that the measure at issue falls within the scope of Article 107(1) TFEU, it must be examined whether it can be declared compatible by the Commission under the exemptions provided for in Articles 107(2) and (3) and 106(2) TFEU.
Ker obravnavani ukrep spada na področje uporabe člena 107(1) PDEU, je treba preučiti, ali ga Komisija lahko razglasi za združljivega na podlagi odstopanj, določenih s členom 107(2) in (3) in členom 106(2) PDEU.
Clearly, the unlimited state guarantee in favour of La Poste does not satisfy any of the tests for exemption provided for in Article 107(2) TFEU, given that the measure at issue has none of the objectives mentioned in that provision.
Zdi se, da neomejeno državno poroštvo v korist podjetja La Poste ne izpolnjuje nobenega od pogojev za uporabo odstopanj iz člena 107(2) PDEU, ker obravnavani ukrep ni namenjen nobenemu od ciljev, določenih s temi odstopanji.
Article 107(3)(a) TFEU provides that an aid measure may be declared compatible with the internal market where it is intended to promote the economic development of areas where the standard of living is abnormally low or where there is serious underemployment.
Na podlagi člena 107(3)(a) PDEU se ukrep pomoči lahko razglasi za združljivega z notranjim trgom, če je namenjen pospeševanju gospodarskega razvoja območij, kjer je življenjska raven izjemno nizka ali kjer je podzaposlenost velika.
In view of the fact that the unlimited state guarantee in favour of La Poste is an individual measure granted in a discretionary manner which does not pursue any regional objective, that it is of unlimited duration, that it is not linked to any investment and that it is not degressive, the exemption provided for in Article 107(3)(a) TFEU does not apply.
Ker je neomejeno državno poroštvo v korist podjetja La Poste individualen ukrep, ki je bil odobren po diskrecijski presoji in si ne prizadeva za noben regionalni cilj, ker je časovno neomejeno, ni povezano z nobeno naložbo in ni degresivno, se odstopanje iz člena 107(3)(a) PDEU ne uporablja.
As for the exemptions provided for in Article 107(3)(b) and (d) TFEU, the aid in question is not intended to promote the execution of an important project of common European interest or to remedy a serious disturbance in the French economy.
Kar zadeva odstopanji iz člena 107(3)(b) in (d) PDEU, zadevna pomoč ni namenjena pospeševanju izvedbe pomembnega projekta skupnega evropskega interesa ali odpravljanju resne motnje v francoskem gospodarstvu.
Nor is the unlimited state guarantee in favour of La Poste intended to promote culture and heritage conservation.
Neomejeno državno poroštvo v korist podjetja La Poste tudi ni namenjeno pospeševanju kulture in ohranjanju kulturne dediščine.
The exemption provided for in Article 107(3)(c) TFEU provides that aid may be considered compatible if it is intended to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Odstopanje iz člena 107(3)(c) PDEU določa, da se pomoč lahko šteje za združljivo, če je namenjena pospeševanju razvoja določenih gospodarskih dejavnosti ali določenih gospodarskih območij, kadar takšna pomoč ne spreminja trgovinskih pogojev v obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju s skupnimi interesi.
The unlimited state guarantee in favour of La Poste concerns neither an investment nor job creation and therefore constitutes unconditional operating aid.
Neomejeno državno poroštvo v korist podjetja La Poste ne zadeva niti naložbe niti ustvarjanja delovnih mest, zato pomeni operativno in brezpogojno pomoč.
In keeping with its decision-making practice the Commission cannot consider such aid as being intended to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas.
Komisija v skladu s svojo prakso odločanja za tako pomoč ne more šteti, da je namenjena pospeševanju razvoja določenih gospodarskih dejavnosti ali določenih gospodarskih območij.
Lastly, the unlimited state guarantee in favour of La Poste cannot be considered to be compatible on the basis of Article 106(2) TFEU.
Nazadnje, neomejenega državnega poroštva v korist podjetja La Poste ni mogoče šteti za združljivega na podlagi člena 106(2) PDEU.
This exemption provides that undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest or having the character of a revenue-producing monopoly are to be subject to the rules contained in the Treaty, in particular to the rules on competition, in so far as the application of such rules does not obstruct the performance, in law or in fact, of the particular tasks assigned to them.
S tem odstopanjem je določeno, da podjetja, pooblaščena za opravljanje storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, oziroma podjetja, ki imajo značaj dohodkovnega monopola, ravnajo po pravilih iz Pogodb, zlasti po pravilih o konkurenci, kolikor uporaba takšnih pravil pravno ali dejansko ne ovira izvajanja posebnih nalog, ki so jim dodeljene.
The development of trade must not be affected to such an extent as would be contrary to the interests of the Union.
Razvoj trgovine ne sme biti prizadet v takšnem obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju z interesi Unije.
French law has imposed public service obligations on La Poste.
S francosko zakonodajo so podjetju La Poste podeljene obveznosti javne službe.
On that basis, the postal operator may receive financial compensation or enjoy certain prerogatives derogating from certain generally applicable rules of law.
Na podlagi tega bi poštni operater lahko prejemal finančno nadomestilo ali užival posebne pravice, ki odstopajo od nekaterih splošno veljavnih pravnih pravil.
However, such financial measures or prerogatives must be limited to what is necessary to offset the additional costs incurred by La Poste by virtue of its public service obligations.
Vendar pa morajo biti taki finančni ukrepi ali posebne pravice omejeni na to, kar je potrebno za izravnavo dodatnih stroškov podjetja La Poste iz naslova obveznosti javne službe.
The Community framework for State aid in the form of public service compensation sets out the conditions under which the Commission considers such compensation to be compatible under Article 106(2) TFEU.
Z okvirom Skupnosti za državne pomoči v obliki nadomestila za javne storitve so opredeljeni pogoji, pod katerimi Komisija tako nadomestilo šteje za združljivo na podlagi člena 106(2) PDEU.
In particular, the compensation paid cannot exceed the cost of providing the public service, taking into account the relevant receipts and a reasonable profit for discharging the obligations.
Zlasti izplačano nadomestilo ne sme presegati stroškov opravljanja javne storitve, pri čemer se upoštevajo s tem povezani prihodki in razumni dobiček za izpolnjevanje teh obveznosti.
In the present case, such an analysis would presuppose a market valuation of the unlimited state guarantee in favour of La Poste in order to verify that its value does not exceed the net cost of providing the universal postal service.
V obravnavanem primeru bi taka analiza predpostavljala tržno oceno vrednosti neomejenega državnega poroštva v korist podjetja La Poste, tako da se preveri, ali njegova vrednost ne presega neto stroškov opravljanja univerzalne poštne storitve.
However, this analysis is impossible to carry out, which rules out application of the exemption provided for in Article 106(2) TFEU.
Ker pa je to poroštvo neomejeno, te analize ni mogoče opraviti, zaradi česar je izključena uporaba odstopanja iz člena 106(2) PDEU.
Moreover, even if such a valuation were possible, it could relate only to the activities covered by the universal postal service task.
Tudi če bi bila taka ocena vrednosti mogoča, pa bi se lahko izvedlo samo za dejavnosti, zajete z nalogo „univerzalne poštne storitve“.
In its current form, however, the unlimited state guarantee covers all the activities of La Poste, including those not covered by the universal postal service task.
Neomejeno državno poroštvo v sedanji obliki pa zajema vse dejavnosti podjetja La Poste, vključno z dejavnostmi, ki niso zajete z nalogo „univerzalne poštne storitve“.
The Commission is of the opinion that the development of trade is thus affected to an extent contrary to the interests of the Union.
Komisija meni, da je zaradi tega razvoj trgovine prizadet v obsegu, ki je v nasprotju z interesi Unije.
Nor has France presented any evidence demonstrating the compatibility of the measure with Articles 107(2) or (3) or 106(2) TFEU, but has merely disputed the existence of the guarantee.
Poleg tega Francija ni navedla elementov, s katerimi bi dokazala združljivost ukrepa s členom 107(2) in (3) ali členom 106(2) PDEU, ampak je samo izpodbijala obstoj poroštva.
Hence it has not demonstrated the compatibility of the aid despite the fact that under the case law the burden of proof rests with it.
Francija torej ni dokazala združljivosti pomoči, čeprav na podlagi sodne prakse nosi dokazno breme.
In conclusion, even in amended form following the French proposals concerning clarification of the Decree implementing the 1980 Law and inclusion of a restrictive clause in contracts of La Poste involving a claim, the measure at issue constitutes existing State aid within the meaning of Article 1(b) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 and, in accordance with the Commission’s decision-making practice concerning unlimited state guarantees granted to undertakings entrusted with economic activities, this aid does not satisfy any of the tests for exemption laid down in the TFEU.
Če sklenemo, zadevni ukrep, tudi spremenjen na podlagi francoskih predlogov v zvezi s pojasnilom odloka o izvajanju zakona iz leta 1980 in vključitvijo omejevalne določbe v pogodbe podjetja La Poste, ki vključujejo terjatve, pomeni veljavno državno pomoč v smislu člena 1(b) Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999, v skladu s prakso odločanja Komisije o neomejenih državnih poroštvih, dodeljenih podjetjem, pristojnim za gospodarske dejavnosti, pa ta pomoč ne izpolnjuje nobenega pogoja uporabe odstopanja po PDEU.
Consequently, the above-mentioned unlimited state guarantee is incompatible with the internal market.
Zgoraj navedeno neomejeno državno poroštvo je zato nezdružljivo z notranjim trgom.
NEUTRALITY WITH REGARD TO THE RULES GOVERNING THE SYSTEM OF PROPERTY OWNERSHIP
NEVTRALNOST GLEDE LASTNINSKOPRAVNE UREDITVE
By this conclusion the Commission is in no way disputing the State’s ownership of La Poste, nor is it challenging its status as a legal entity governed by public law as such.
Komisija s to ugotovitvijo nikakor ne izpodbija pripadnosti podjetja La Poste državi niti ne izpodbija statusa pravne osebe javnega prava kot takega.
The Commission simply views as problematic the guarantee flowing from that status, as French law stands, for La Poste.
Komisiji se zdi problematično samo poroštvo, ki v sedanjem stanju francoskega prava izhaja iz tega statusa za podjetje La Poste.
Under Article 345 TFEU the Union is neutral with regard to the rules governing the system of property ownership in the Member States and no provision of the Treaty prevents a State from owning enterprises (whether wholly or partly).
V skladu s členom 345 PDEU je Unija nevtralna glede lastninskopravne ureditve v državah članicah, in nobena določba Pogodbe ne ovira tega, da ima država v lasti del podjetja ali celotno podjetje.
That being so, the rules of competition must be applied equally to private and public enterprises.
Pri tem se morajo pravila konkurence uporabljati enako za zasebna in javna podjetja.
Neither of these two types of enterprise may be placed at an advantage or disadvantage by the application of those rules.
Nobeno od teh dveh vrst podjetij ne sme z uporabo teh pravil dobiti prednosti ali biti v slabšem položaju.
In the present case, the guarantee stems, not from the ownership, but from the legal form, of the enterprise.
V tem primeru poroštvo ne izhaja iz lastništva, ampak izhaja iz pravnega statusa podjetja.
The Member States are free to choose the legal form of enterprises, but they must, when making their choice, comply with the competition rules of the Treaty.
Države članice lahko prosto izberejo pravno obliko podjetij, vendar morajo pri tej izbiri upoštevati pravila konkurence iz Pogodbe.
In particular, the mere fact that the state guarantee is automatically linked to a special legal form does not prevent the guarantee from constituting State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU if the necessary conditions are met.
Zlasti preprosto dejstvo, da je državno poroštvo samodejno povezano z določenim pravnim statusom, ne preprečuje, da bi navedeno poroštvo pomenilo državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU, če so izpolnjeni pogoji, ki se uporabljajo.
This conclusion is not affected by Article 345 TFEU.
Člen 345 PDEU ne vpliva na to ugotovitev.
On the contrary, in a competitive scenario the neutrality principle would involve abolishing any unjustified advantage for the benefit of publicly owned enterprises to the detriment of their private competitors.
Nasprotno bi v konkurenčnem scenariju načelo nevtralnosti vključevalo odpravo kakršne koli neupravičene prednosti v korist javnih podjetij in v škodo njihovih zasebnih konkurentov.
An identical approach was followed by the Commission, for example, in the case concerning publicly owned credit institutions in Germany and in that concerning EDF.
Komisija je za ponazoritev podoben pristop uporabila v primeru v zvezi z javnimi posojilnimi ustanovami v Nemčiji in primeru v zvezi z družbo EDF.
THE DRAFT LAW ON LA POSTE AND POSTAL ACTIVITIES
OSNUTEK ZAKONA V ZVEZI S PODJETJEM LA POSTE IN POŠTNIMI DEJAVNOSTMI
In their letter dated 31 July 2009, the French authorities communicated to the Commission the draft law on La Poste and postal activities adopted by the Council of Ministers on 29 July 2009, converting La Poste into a public limited company on 1 January 2010.
Francoski organi so v dopisu z dne 31. julija 2009 Komisijo obvestili o osnutku zakona v zvezi s podjetjem La Poste in poštnimi dejavnostmi, ki ga je svet ministrov sprejel 29. julija 2009 in s katerim je bilo določeno, da se s 1. januarjem 2010 podjetje La Poste preoblikuje v delniško družbo.
An amendment to this draft law was subsequently adopted, postponing the date of the conversion of La Poste into a public limited company until March 2010.
Nato je bila sprejeta sprememba osnutka zakona, s katero je bil datum preoblikovanja podjetja La Poste v delniško družbo preložen na marec 2010.
Article 1, second paragraph, of the draft law as amended, modifying Law No 90-568 of 2 July 1990 on the organisation of the public service of La Poste and France Telecom provides that ‘The public-law entity La Poste shall be converted as from 1 March 2010 into a public limited company called La Poste [….]’.
V členu 1(2) spremenjenega osnutka zakona, s katerim se spreminja zakon št. 90-568 z dne 2. julija 1990 o organizaciji javne službe podjetij La Poste in France Telecom, je določeno: „Pravna oseba javnega prava La Poste se s 1. marcem 2010 preoblikuje v delniško družbo, imenovano La Poste […]“.
The French authorities have stated that the conversion of La Poste into a public limited company will have the effect of making it subject to the ordinary law rules applicable to companies undergoing compulsory administration or winding up.
Francoski organi so pojasnili, da bo učinek preoblikovanja podjetja La Poste v delniško družbo ta, da bo zanj veljalo obče pravo, ki se uporablja za podjetja v sanaciji ali sodni likvidaciji.
The Commission agrees that the effective conversion of La Poste into a public limited company as provided for by the draft law transmitted by the French authorities will directly result in the unlimited guarantee which it enjoys being withdrawn.
Komisija se strinja, da bo z dejanskim preoblikovanjem podjetja La Poste v delniško družbo, predvidenim z osnutkom zakona, ki so ga poslali francoski organi, ukinjeno neomejeno poroštvo, do katerega je upravičeno.
The Commission considers that this conversion constitutes a measure that will remove the State aid from which La Poste currently benefits.
Komisija meni, da to preoblikovanje pomeni ukrep, s katerim bi se lahko v skladu s pravom Skupnosti odpravila državna pomoč, ki jo trenutno uživa podjetje La Poste.
Adoption of the draft law by Parliament is scheduled for January 2010.
Parlament naj bi osnutek zakona sprejel januarja 2010.
The unlimited guarantee given by France to La Poste constitutes State aid that is incompatible with the internal market.
Neomejeno poroštvo, ki ga je Francija odobrila podjetju La Poste, pomeni državno pomoč, nezdružljivo z notranjim trgom.
France must withdraw it by 31 March 2010.
Francija to pomoč ukine najpozneje do 31. marca 2010.
The Commission considers that the effective conversion of La Poste into a public limited company will result in the unlimited guarantee which La Poste enjoys being withdrawn.
Komisija meni, da bo z dejanskim preoblikovanjem podjetja La Poste v delniško družbo neomejeno poroštvo, do katerega je podjetje upravičeno, ukinjeno.
The effective withdrawal of the unlimited guarantee by 31 March 2010 is a measure that will remove, in accordance with Union law, the State aid referred to in Article 1.
Dejanska ukinitev tega neomejenega poroštva najpozneje do 31. marca 2010 pomeni ukrep, s katerim se lahko v skladu s pravom Unije odpravi državna pomoč, ugotovljena v členu 1.
France shall provide the Commission, within two months of notification of this Decision, with a detailed description of the measures already taken and planned for the purpose of complying with this Decision.
Francija v dveh mesecih od uradnega obvestila o tem sklepu Komisiji pošlje podroben opis že sprejetih in načrtovanih ukrepov za uskladitev s tem sklepom.
Done at Brussels, 26 January 2010.
V Bruslju, 26. januarja 2010
