France acknowledges, not without certain reservations, as set out in recital 66, that ‘the only supposed effect on IFP that might be identified would be a reduction in charges as a result of the absence of subscription to performance bonds’.
Komisija je v zvezi s tem seznanjena, da Francija, čeprav z nekaterimi pridržki, v skladu z navedbo v uvodni izjavi 66 priznava, da bi bil „edini predvideni učinek za osebo javnega prava IFP, ki bi ga bilo mogoče ugotoviti, nižji stroški zaradi nesklenjenih garancij za dobro izvedbo pogodbenih obveznosti“.
The French authorities conclude, without elaborating further, that, on the basis of ‘the sums usually charged by banks and insurance companies to provide this type of service, it is clear that the sum involved in such a reduction would be negligible’.
Francoski organi zato brez nadaljnjih pojasnil sklepajo, da se na podlagi „zneskov, ki jih običajno zahtevajo banke in zavarovalnice za zagotavljanje te vrste storitve, […] zdi, da bi tako zmanjšanje pomenilo zanemarljiv znesek“.
The Commission points out, firstly, that a large number of factors enter into the calculation of the cost of a performance bond, notably the type of contract and the sum covered, the staff employed, the financial situation, the risk of default and the claims history of the undertaking whose service the contract concerns, as well as other purely financial factors, such as the fees or commissions of intermediaries.
Komisija najprej poudarja, da so v izračun stroškov garancije za dobro izvedbo pogodbenih obveznosti vključeni številni dejavniki, zlasti vrsta pogodbe in kriti znesek, število zaposlenih, finančni položaj, tveganje neplačila in pretekli odškodninski zahtevki podjetja, katerega storitev se krije, ter drugi povsem finančni dejavniki, kot so pristojbine ali provizije za posrednike.
On the basis of publicly available information [210], the Commission estimates that the rate applied generally speaking varies between 1 % and 5 % of the turnover covered.
Komisija na podlagi javno dostopnih informacij [210] meni, da je običajna tarifa med 1 % in 5 % kritega prometa.
The calculation of premiums by specialised intermediaries uses statistical techniques, which may be refined by type of risk, and it is not possible to establish a priori a standard rate for a performance bond.
Določanje tarif za kritje pri specializiranih posrednikih temelji na statističnih tehnikah, ki so po potrebi prilagojene vrsti tveganja, tako da ni mogoče vnaprej ugotoviti pavšalne tarife garancije za dobro izvedbo pogodbenih obveznosti.
The final price of the guarantee depends ultimately on the estimated value of potential losses and the probability that they may occur.
Končna cena garancije je in fine odvisna od morebitnih izgub in verjetnosti njihovega nastanka.
Consequently, whereas a guarantee of full performance without defects is proposed in certain sectors (for example in civil engineering and building and public works or in international trade), it does not seem feasible in the case of contract research services to cover more than best efforts, since R&D is by nature a high-risk field in which the purchaser of research work has no certainty that it will lead to results that can be exploited.
Čeprav se lahko garancija za „dobro izvedbo“ pogodbenih obveznosti ponudi v nekaterih sektorjih (na primer v gradbeništvu, pri visokih in nizkih gradnjah ali v mednarodni trgovini), se pri storitvah pogodbenih raziskav zdi, da se lahko krije samo „kar najboljša izvedba“, ker so R & R po svoji naravi tvegano področje, na katerem kupec raziskav nima nobenega zagotovila, da bodo prinesle uporabne rezultate ali ne.
In this respect, the Commission notes that the amount contractually guaranteed to IFP’s customers, including its subsidiaries, is limited to 100 % of the price of the research work carried out.
Komisija v zvezi s tem ugotavlja, da je znesek, pogodbeno zagotovljen strankam osebe javnega prava IFP, vključno s hčerinskimi družbami, omejen na enkratno ceno izvedenih raziskav.
The Commission acknowledges that it is unable to provide an exact estimate of the premium which would be required to guarantee to customers (including subsidiaries) that IFP will use its best efforts in carrying out the research work.
Komisija priznava, da ne more natančno oceniti zneska premije, s katerim bi se strankam (vključno s hčerinskimi družbami) zagotovila „kar najboljša izvedba“ osebe javnega prava IFP pri izvajanju raziskovalnih storitev.
Therefore the Commission considers that a maximum rate of 5 % of the turnover generated by the service covered is in any case an upper bound to the premium which would be necessary to cover such a risk.
Zato Komisija meni, da je stopnja 5 % od prometa, ustvarjenega s krito storitvijo, najvišja premija, ki bi bila potrebna za kritje takega tveganja.
As regards the volume of the economic activities which might be covered by such a guarantee, the Commission recalls that these activities are of two types: on the one hand, renting out infrastructure, providing research staff and legal services, and the contract research activities carried out by IFP on behalf of both third parties and its own subsidiaries, and on the other hand, the transfer of technology from IFP to its subsidiaries in the exclusive fields of activity of Axens and Prosernat.
Komisija v zvezi z zneskom za gospodarske dejavnosti, ki so lahko krite s takim poroštvom, opozarja, da so navedene dejavnosti dveh vrst: po eni strani dejavnosti zajemajo oddajanje infrastrukture, posredovanje raziskovalnega osebja in pravne storitve ter pogodbene raziskave, ki jih izvaja oseba javnega prava IFP (za tretje osebe in svoje hčerinske družbe) in po drugi strani dejavnosti prenosa tehnologij osebe javnega prava IFP na njene hčerinske družbe na izključnih področjih dejavnosti hčerinskih družb Axens in Prosernat.
As regards the activities carried out by IFP in the exclusive field of activity of its subsidiary Beicip-Franlab [211], the Commission has already found that they are financed entirely from income earned in the market for oilfield operation consultancy services and the contract development of oilfield software.
Komisija je o dejavnostih osebe javnega prava IFP na izključnih področjih dejavnosti njene hčerinske družbe Beicip-Franlab [211] že ugotovila, da so te v celoti financirane iz prihodkov na trgu svetovanja o izkoriščanju naftnih polj in razvoja programske opreme za izkoriščanje nafte.
In decision C 51/2005, the Commission established the absence of intra-group transfers of public funding from the publicly owned establishment IFP to its subsidiary Beicip-Franlab, since the business relations between the two entities were based on normal market conditions.
Komisija je v zgoraj navedeni odločbi C 51/2005 ugotovila, da oseba javnega prava IFP znotraj skupine ni prenašala javnega financiranja na hčerinsko družbo Beicip-Franlab, ker so bili poslovni odnosi med navedenima subjektoma v skladu z običajnimi tržnimi pogoji.
The remuneration paid by Beicip-Franlab to IFP ‘broadly’ [212] covers the cost of work done by IFP in its subsidiary’s exclusive domain, so that the Commission can conclude that the prices charged are such that in any event Beicip-Franlab already bears a cost equivalent to any additional impact of the State guarantee on the research costs borne by IFP.
Ker plačila družbe Beicip-Franlab osebi javnega prava IFP krijejo „večinoma“ [212] stroške dela, ki ga IFP opravlja na izključnem področju dejavnosti svoje hčerinske družbe, Komisija lahko sklepa, da je družba Beicip-Franlab glede na način določanja tarife vsekakor že prevzela morebitni dodatni učinek državnega poroštva za stroške raziskav, ki jih nosi oseba javnega prava IFP.
In these conditions, the cover provided by the State guarantee for the business relations between the subsidiary and its parent is not of a nature to confer a competitive advantage on the activities conducted by IFP in the exclusive research fields of its subsidiary Beicip-Franlab.
V teh okoliščinah dejavnosti osebe javnega prava IFP na izključnih področjih raziskav njene hčerinske družbe Beicip-Franlab zaradi kritja poslovnih odnosov med hčerinsko in matično družbo z državnim poroštvom ne morejo imeti konkurenčne prednosti.
Consequently, the fact that they may be covered by the State guarantee does not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU.
Zato morebitno kritje z državnim poroštvom ni državna pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
The French authorities also provided information concerning the administrative services supplied by IFP to its subsidiaries during the same period.
Francoski organi so poleg tega predložili podatke o upravnih storitvah, ki jih je oseba javnega prava IFP zagotavljala hčerinskim družbam v istem obdobju.
This information shows that, since 2006, the average annual amount invoiced by IFP to its subsidiaries is in the order of EUR […] (*) for the staff provided and EUR […] (*) for the costs of premises and ancillary services (frais de domiciliation). [213]
Iz navedenih informacij je razvidno, da je povprečni letni znesek, ki ga je oseba javnega prava IFP porazdelila med svoje hčerinske družbe, od leta 2006 […] (*) EUR za začasno dodeljeno osebje in […] (*) EUR za stroške domiciliranja [213].
Regarding the activities of the second type, i.e. the transfer of technology from IFP to its subsidiaries in the exclusive fields of activity of Axens and Prosernat, it should first be pointed out that decision C 51/2005 already contained the figures for 2006:
Pri drugi vrsti dejavnosti, in sicer pri dejavnostih prenosa tehnologij osebe javnega prava IFP na njene hčerinske družbe na izključnih področjih dejavnosti družb Axens in Prosernat, je treba najprej poudariti, da so se v Odločbi C 51/2005 že upoštevali zneski dejavnosti za leto 2006:
in the exclusive field of Axens, IFP carried out economic activities comprising technical feasibility studies prior to industrial research amounting to EUR […] (*) and industrial research work amounting to EUR […] (*), i.e. in total EUR […] (*).
oseba javnega prava IFP je na izključnem področju družbe Axens izvedla za […] (*) EUR pripravljalnih študij tehnične izvedljivosti za industrijske raziskave in za […] (*) EUR industrijskih raziskav, kar je skupaj za […] (*) EUR gospodarskih dejavnosti;
in the exclusive field of Prosernat, IFP carried out economic activities comprising technical feasibility studies amounting to EUR […] (*) and industrial research work amounting to EUR […] (*), i.e. in total EUR […] (*).
oseba javnega prava IFP je na izključnem področju dejavnosti družbe Prosernat izvedla za […] (*) EUR študij tehnične izvedljivosti in za […] (*) EUR industrijskih raziskav, kar je skupaj za […] (*) EUR gospodarskih dejavnosti;
In total, IFP carried out research work in the exclusive fields of its subsidiaries amounting to EUR 56,4 million (EUR 7,4 million for technical feasibility studies and EUR 49,0 million for industrial research work), whereas the volume of its own resources was only EUR […] (*), and the Commission accordingly considered that these research activities had been subsidised by public funds to the amount of EUR 11,3 million (an aid intensity of 20 %) [214].
oseba javnega prava IFP je torej skupno izvedla za 56,4 milijona EUR raziskovalnih storitev na izključnih področjih dejavnosti svojih hčerinskih družb (pri čemer je bilo za 7,4 milijona EUR študij tehnične izvedljivosti in za 49 milijonov EUR industrijskih raziskav), njena lastna sredstva pa so znašala le […] (*) EUR, tako da so bile navedene raziskovalne dejavnosti po mnenju Komisije subvencionirane iz javnih sredstev v višini 11,3 milijona EUR (kar pomeni 20-odstotno intenzivnost pomoči [214]).
As regards the following years, in accordance with Article 5(1) of decision C 51/2005, until the expiry date of the exclusive agreements, France is required to ‘submit to the Commission a detailed annual report on the projects carried out by IFP in the exclusive fields of activity of Axens and Prosernat’.
Francija mora v naslednjih letih v skladu s členom 5(1) zgoraj navedene odločbe C 51/2005 do izteka izključnih sporazumov „predložiti Komisiji podrobno letno poročilo o projektih, ki jih izvaja oseba javnega prava IFP na področjih izključnih dejavnosti družb Axens in Prosernat“.
The information contained in these annual reports allows a precise calculation to be made of the annual volume of the research services carried out by IFP on behalf of and in the exclusive fields of its subsidiaries.
Informacije v navedenih letnih poročilih omogočajo natančen izračun letnega zneska raziskovalnih storitev osebe javnega prava IFP, izvedenih v imenu in na izključnem področju dejavnosti njenih hčerinskih družb.
So far, France has sent the Commission the annual reports for 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Francija je za zdaj Komisiji predložila letna poročila za leta 2007, 2008 in 2009.
In view of the time needed to process the accounting data, the 2010 report is to be forwarded in the course of 2011.
Poročilo za leto 2010 bo ob upoštevanju rokov za obdelavo računovodskih podatkov predloženo v letu 2011.
In the exclusive fields of Axens, these economic activities are summarised for the years 2007 to 2009 in Table 3 shown in this recital (EUR thousand).
Gospodarske dejavnosti na izključnih področjih dejavnosti družbe Axens so za leta od 2007 do 2009 povzete v Preglednici 3 te uvodne izjave (v tisočih EUR).

The research services provided by IFP in the exclusive field of Axens therefore generated economic activity amounting to EUR […] (*) in 2007, EUR […] (*) in 2008, and EUR […] (*) in 2009, which is comparable to that established by the Commission for 2006 in decision C 51/2005 (EUR […] (*)).
Z raziskovalnimi storitvami osebe javnega prava IFP na izključnem področju dejavnosti družbe Axens je bilo torej leta 2007 ustvarjeno za […] (*) EUR gospodarskih dejavnosti, leta 2008 za […] (*) EUR in leta 2009 za […] (*) EUR, kar je primerljivo z ugotovitvami Komisije za leto 2006 ([…] (*) EUR) v Odločbi C 51/2005.
In the exclusive fields of Prosernat, these economic activities are summarised for the years 2007 to 2009 in Table 4 shown in this recital (EUR thousand).
Gospodarske dejavnosti na izključnih področjih dejavnosti družbe Prosernat so za leta od 2007 do 2009 povzete v Preglednici 4 te uvodne izjave (v tisočih EUR).

Dejavnosti osebe javnega prava IFP na izključnih področjih dejavnosti družbe Prosernat med letoma 2007 in 2009
The research services provided by IFP in the exclusive field of Prosernat therefore generated economic activity amounting to EUR […] (*) in 2007, EUR […] (*) in 2008, and EUR […] (*) in 2009, comparable to that established by the Commission for 2006 in decision C 51/2005 (EUR […] (*)).
Z raziskovalnimi storitvami osebe javnega prava IFP na izključnem področju dejavnosti družbe Prosernat je bilo torej leta 2007 ustvarjeno za […] (*) EUR gospodarskih dejavnosti, leta 2008 za […] (*) EUR in leta 2009 za […] (*) EUR, kar je primerljivo z ugotovitvami Komisije za leto 2006 ([…] (*) EUR) v Odločbi C 51/2005.
On the basis of the above, the Commission considers that in the pursuit of its economic activities IFP has benefited from a real economic advantage, consisting in the absence of payment of a premium for a performance bond, at the very least for best efforts, which it was able to offer in respect of its research activities to its customers, including to its subsidiaries Axens and Prosernat in their exclusive fields.
Komisija na podlagi zgoraj navedenega meni, da je imela oseba javnega prava IFP za izvajanje gospodarskih dejavnosti dejansko gospodarsko prednost, ker ni plačevala premije, ki ustreza garanciji za dobro ali vsaj kar najboljšo izvedbo pogodbenih obveznosti, ki jo je lahko ponudila strankam za svoje raziskovalne dejavnosti, vključno z družbama Axens in Prosernat na njunem izključnem področju dejavnosti.
The Commission cannot quantify this advantage precisely, but in view of the specific nature of the risk covered, the Commission considers that in any case it would not exceed, service by service, year by year, the sums shown in Table 5 in this recital:
Čeprav Komisija zaradi posebnosti kritega tveganja ne more natančno določiti zneska navedene prednosti, meni, da ta v posameznem letu in za posamezno storitev vsekakor ne more preseči zneskov iz Preglednice 5 te uvodne izjave (v kateri „EUR“ pomeni „euro“, „mio. EUR“ pomeni „milijonov EUR“, „v mio. EUR“ pa „v milijonih eurov“):

In any event, the French authorities are still free to notify a more precise methodology for estimating the advantage conferred by the guarantee on IFP in its dealings with customers.
Francoski organi vsekakor ohranjajo možnost, da sporočijo natančnejšo metodologijo za ocenitev prednosti, dodeljene s poroštvom osebi javnega prava v njenih odnosih s strankami.
Advantages transferred to the private-law subsidiaries of the IFP group
Prednosti, prenesene na hčerinske družbe zasebnega prava v skupini IFP
As regards the subsidiaries of the publicly owned establishment IFP, in its opening decision the Commission pointed out that it could not at the preliminary investigation stage rule out the possibility that any advantage arising from the EPIC status of the publicly owned establishment IFP, such as in particular more advantageous borrowing terms, might also benefit the three subsidiaries [216].
Komisija je v zvezi s hčerinskimi družbami osebe javnega prava IFP v odločitvi o začetku postopka navedla, da na stopnji predhodne preučitve ne more izključiti, da bi lahko „vsako prednost, ki bi izvirala iz osebe javnega prava IFP kot EPIC, kot so zlasti ugodnejši posojilni pogoji, […] imele tudi tri hčerinske družbe“ [216].
At the end of the present detailed examination, for the reasons listed in section 7.1.1.2, given that in French law a shareholder in a group of companies does not bear general vicarious liability for its subsidiaries, there is no reason to take the view that the publicly owned establishment IFP, and consequently the French State, can be liable for the payment of claims held by third parties in respect of the economic activities of Axens and Prosernat, in particular if those subsidiaries were to be subjected to compulsory winding up.
Po tej temeljiti preučitvi zaradi razlogov, naštetih v delu 7.1.1.2, in ob upoštevanju, da v francoskem pravu ni določena splošna odgovornost delničarja za njegove hčerinske družbe v skupinah družb, ni treba šteti, da bi lahko bili oseba javnega prava IFP in s tem francoska država odgovorni za poplačilo terjatev, ki jih imajo tretje osebe za gospodarske dejavnosti družb Axens in Prosernat, zlasti če bi bili ti v sodni likvidaciji.
However, it should be noted that in decision N 531/2005 cited above, although it took the view, as recalled in recital 177, that as a public limited company La Banque Postale remained subject to ordinary law with regard to compulsory administration and winding-up and did not therefore itself enjoy an unlimited State guarantee, the Commission nevertheless examined the question of a possible transfer to the subsidiary of the effects of the public guarantee conferred on its sole shareholder [217].
Vendar je treba ugotoviti, da je Komisija v zgoraj navedeni odločbi N 531/2005 vseeno obravnavala vprašanje morebitnega prenosa učinkov državnega poroštva, dodeljenega njenemu edinemu delničarju, na hčerinsko družbo, čeprav je po njenem mnenju za podjetje La Banque Postale kot delniško družbo, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 177, še naprej veljalo obče pravo s področja sanacije in sodne likvidacije, in to torej ni bilo deležno neomejenega državnega poroštva [217].
More precisely, the Commission took the view [218] that the operating structure of the group resulted in permeability between the shareholder (La Poste) and the subsidiary (La Banque Postale), owing to the combined effect of (i) the use by the subsidiary of human and material resources made available by the parent and (ii) the remuneration of these resources on the basis of the costs borne by the parent, in such a way that in the event of an economic advantage of a nature to cause the costs of La Poste to fall, the remuneration paid by La Banque Postale to its parent would have been reduced accordingly, resulting in an (at least partial) transfer of this economic advantage to the subsidiary.
Komisija je natančneje presodila [218], da je oblika delovanja skupine vključevala prepustnost med delničarjem (La Poste) in hčerinsko družbo (La Banque Postale) zaradi skupnega učinka tega, (i) da hčerinska družba uporablja človeške in materialne vire, ki jih da na voljo njena matična družba, in (ii) da se navedeni viri matične družbe plačujejo na podlagi stroškov, ki jih krije matična družba, tako da bi se lahko plačilo podjetja La Banque Postale matični družbi v primeru gospodarske prednosti, na podlagi katere bi se lahko znižali stroški podjetja La Poste, ustrezno znižalo, zaradi česar bi se navedena prednost (vsaj delno) prenesla na hčerinsko družbo.
In the same way, in decision C 51/2005, the Commission considered that there was a measure of porosity, in particular in the prices applied by IFP for the services supplied to Axens and Prosernat in their exclusive fields, such that the intra-group business relations did not follow a market-driven logic, but on the contrary offered the possibility of cross-subsidisation of the economic activities of the subsidiaries via public funds made available by the parent.
Komisija je v zgoraj navedeni odločbi C 51/2005 še menila, da je nekakšna prepustnost obstajala, zlasti pri izbiri tarif, ki jih je oseba javnega prava IFP zaračunavala za storitve, namenjene družbama Axens in Prosernat na njunem izključnem področju dejavnosti, tako da poslovni odnosi v skupini niso temeljili na tržnih pogojih, temveč je bilo nasprotno mogoče navzkrižno subvencioniranje gospodarskih dejavnosti hčerinskih družb iz javnih sredstev, danih na voljo matični družbi.
As recalled in recital 226, the Commission concluded moreover that the relations between IFP and its subsidiary Beicip-Prosernat [219] were conducted on normal market terms.
Kot je Komisija opozorila v uvodni izjavi 226, je poleg tega ugotovila, da so bili odnosi med osebo javnega prava IFP in njeno hčerinsko družbo Beicip-Prosernat [219] v skladu z običajnimi tržnimi pogoji.
