The fact that certain competitors are required, on account of their EBU membership, to respect the latter’s statutes, as the FFTCE emphasises, does not act as a barrier to the existence of specific public service obligations specified in official acts of the French Republic which, contrary to the obligations arising from EBU membership, are imposed solely on France Télévisions.
Čeprav morajo nekateri konkurenti zaradi članstva v EBU spoštovati njen statut, kot poudarja FFTCE, to ni ovira za obstoj posebnih obveznosti javne službe, opredeljenih v uradnih aktih Francoske republike, ki v nasprotju z obveznostmi, ki izhajajo iz članstva v EBU, veljajo samo za skupino France Télévisions.
As far as is necessary, moreover, the obligations of France Télévisions are specified again in the terms of reference and the agreement relating to objectives and means and are accompanied by precise, quantified indicators to be achieved in its programme schedule, to which the competing broadcasters are not subject.
Poleg tega so obveznosti skupine France Télévisions, kakršne ne veljajo za konkurenčne radiotelevizije, po potrebi opredeljene še v specifikaciji in pogodbi o ciljih in sredstvih, skupaj z natančnimi kvantitativnimi kazalniki za programsko shemo.
The public resources are allocated to France Télévisions to achieve the objectives and to perform the public service obligations defined by laws and regulations in the general interest, whereas the private resources are allocated to the competing broadcasters purely for lucrative purposes.
Skupini France Télévisions so javna sredstva dodeljena, da bi dosegla cilje in izpolnila obveznosti javne službe splošnega pomena, opredeljene z zakoni in drugimi predpisi, medtem ko so konkurenčnim radiotelevizijam zasebna sredstva dodeljena z izključno profitnim ciljem.
Likewise, the existence of restrictions under the regulations or voluntarily assumed by the operators in their broadcasting activities does not in fact imply the existence of an undifferentiated supply for the public and private broadcasters.
Prav tako obstoj predpisanih ali prostovoljnih omejitev, ki jih operaterji upoštevajo pri dejavnosti razširjanja programov, ne pomeni, da je ponudba javnih in zasebnih televizij dejansko nediferencirana.
These public service obligations which derive from the law, contrary to those deriving from membership of the EBU, are moreover subject to regular external controls, notably by Parliament, concerning their fulfilment.
Poleg tega se nad uresničevanjem teh obveznosti javne službe, ki izhajajo iz zakona, v nasprotju z obveznostmi, ki izhajajo iz članstva v EBU, izvaja reden zunanji, zlasti parlamentarni nadzor.
In addition, the SACD highlights the greater commitment of France Télévisions to original French audiovisual and cinematographic creation compared to the competitors, which are subject to far lesser obligations.
Poleg tega SACD poudarja, da ima skupina France Télévisions največje obveznosti na področju izvirnega francoskega avdiovizualnega in kinematografskega ustvarjanja v primerjavi s konkurenti, katerih obveznosti so precej manjše.
It is true that the comments made by the SACD neither support nor illustrate the reasons for which imported non-French works, possibly from other Member States, would be of lower quality than those which France Télévisions will finance.
Seveda pripombe SACD niso podprte in ponazorjene z razlogi, zakaj naj bi bila nefrancoska dela, ki so lahko uvožena iz drugih držav članic, slabše kakovosti kot dela, ki jih bo financirala skupina France Télévisions.
The fact still remains that a binding commitment in favour of original creation, increased in absolute terms and in relation to the competitors, contributes and is directly related to the social and cultural needs of French society which the programming of France Télévisions is required to meet on account of its service of general interest obligations.
Res je, da zavezujoča obveznost izvirnega ustvarjanja, ki je absolutno in glede na konkurente večja, prispeva k socialnim in kulturnim potrebam francoske družbe in je z njimi neposredno povezana, saj mora program skupine France Télévisions zaradi obveznosti javne službe splošnega pomena zadostiti tem potrebam.
From the point of view of the information supplied by the French Republic, this positive assessment on the definition and control of the public service mission of France Télévisions must be extended to the mechanisms applicable to the launch of significant new audiovisual services, within the meaning of the Broadcasting Communication which entered into effect after the decision initiating the present procedure.
Ob upoštevanju podatkov, ki jih je predložila Francoska republika, je treba to pozitivno presojo opredelitve in nadzora naloge javne službe, ki jo opravlja skupina France Télévisions, razširiti na mehanizme, ki se uporabljajo za zagon pomembnih novih storitev v smislu sporočila o radioteleviziji, ki je začelo veljati po sklepu o začetku tega postopka.
These services, which extend the offer of broadcasted programmes to other media or formats, are included in the terms of reference and the agreements relating to objectives and means of France Télévisions, which specify and translate the service of general economic interest missions provided for by the law.
Te storitve, s katerimi se radiotelevizijska programska ponudba širi na novih nosilcih ali v novih formatih, so vključene v specifikacije in pogodbe o ciljih in sredstvih s skupino France Télévisions, v katerih so navedene in natančneje opredeljene zakonsko določene naloge javne službe splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
These documents have been adopted by decree, as indicated above, so that the new services already provided for and those possibly to come are the subject of the same specific ex ante consultation procedures and ex post annual performance checks as these missions.
Ti dokumenti so, kot je navedeno zgoraj, sprejeti z odlokom, tako da za predvidene in morebitne druge nove storitve veljajo isti posebni postopki predhodnega posvetovanja in naknadnega nadzora letnega izvajanja kot za te naloge.
To sum up, it therefore appears that the definition of the public service mission assigned to France Télévisions and the control mechanisms relating to it are in conformity with the rules and principles established in the Broadcasting Communication, which in turn were inspired by the case-law of the Union courts.
Zato je očitno, da so opredelitev naloge javne službe, ki je prenesena na skupino France Télévisions, in povezani mehanizmi nadzora skladni s pravili in načeli iz sporočila o radioteleviziji, ki izhajajo iz sodne prakse sodišč Unije.
The proportionate and transparent nature of the public financing
Sorazmernost in preglednost javnega financiranja
The determination of the annual amount of the budgetary grant
Določitev letnega zneska proračunske pomoči
The financing mechanism notified by the French Republic, which includes the annual grant to compensate for the reduction followed by the discontinuance of advertising messages, is intended to be permanent and therefore to extend beyond the date provided for by the law for the discontinuance of the advertising messages, which is in fact in November 2011.
Mehanizem financiranja, ki ga je priglasila Francoska republika in katerega del je letna pomoč kot nadomestilo za omejitev in nato ukinitev oglasnih sporočil, je lahko trajen in lahko obstaja po datumu ukinitve oglasnih sporočil, predvidenem v zakonu, ki je novembra 2011.
The annual public financing will comprise the allocation of part of the resources from the television licence fee (contribution à l’audiovisuel public), formerly known as the redevance, and the annual grant provided for by Law No 2009-258 of 5 March 2009.
Letno javno financiranje bo vključevalo dodelitev dela sredstev iz televizijske naročnine (contribution à l’audiovisuel public, prej redevance) in letno pomoč, določeno z zakonom št. 2009-258 z dne 5. marca 2009.
The existing aid confirmed by the Commission in its Decision of 20 April 2005, which is not modified by the planned mechanism, will therefore be complemented by a budgetary grant, the exact amount of which will be fixed each year in the finance law for the current year.
Veljavni pomoči, ki jo je Komisija potrdila v odločbi z dne 20. aprila 2005 in ki je predvideni mehanizem ne spreminja, bo torej dodana proračunska pomoč, katere natančni znesek bo vsako leto za tekoče leto določen v zakonu o javnih financah.
In its comments, the French Republic specifies that it is the forecasted net public service costs which will serve to determine the amount of the annual grant ex ante, before each financial year.
Francoska republika v pripombah pojasnjuje, da bo znesek letne pomoči pred vsakim poslovnim letom predhodno določen na podlagi predvidenih neto stroškov javne storitve.
Moreover, this is shown by the illustrative estimates provided by the French authorities in response to the doubts expressed by the Commission in the decision initiating the procedure.
Prav to izhaja iz okvirnih ocen, ki so jih francoski organi predložili v odgovoru na dvome, ki jih je Komisija izrazila v sklepu o začetku postopka.
The Commission notes the indicative nature which the French authorities attach to the business plan forecasts and agrees that it is useful for the undertaking responsible for a public service mission and having to commit multiannual expenditure for this purpose to have a financial framework provided for by the business plan included in the rider to the agreement relating to objectives and means.
Komisija ugotavlja, da francoski organi trdijo, da so napovedi iz poslovnega načrta okvirne, in se strinja, da je za podjetje, ki opravlja nalogo javne službe in mora zanjo predvideti večletne izdatke, koristno imeti finančni okvir, določen v poslovnem načrtu, ki je vključen v dodatek k pogodbi o ciljih in sredstvih.
This being so, the total indicative public resources shown there remain related to, although lower than, the amounts of the gross costs of supplying this service forecasted for the period from 2010 to 2012.
Skupna okvirna javna sredstva, ki so v njem navedena, kljub temu ostajajo povezana z zneski bruto stroškov opravljanja te storitve, predvidenimi za obdobje 2010–2012, čeprav so nižja od teh stroškov.
In view of the relative predictability of the gross costs, which are less volatile than the commercial revenues used to establish the net costs, the indicative figures of the business plan confirm a priori the assertion of the French Republic concerning the decisive nature of the criterion of the net public service costs to set the annual amount of the forthcoming grant.
Ob upoštevanju sorazmerne predvidljivosti bruto stroškov, ki nihajo manj kot komercialni prihodki, na podlagi katerih se določijo neto stroški, okvirne številke iz poslovnega načrta a priori potrjujejo trditev Francoske republike, da je merilo neto stroškov javne storitve odločilno za določitev letnega zneska pomoči v prihodnosti.
In this way, the obligation of financial compensation by the State, introduced by Law No 2009-258 of 5 March 2009, will constitute the chargeable event for the budgetary grant notified, without conditioning the amount, as against a possible estimate of what the advertising revenues lost through the discontinuance of the advertising messages should be.
Tako bo obveznost državnega finančnega nadomestila, uvedena z zakonom št. 2009-258 z dne 5. marca 2009, operativni dogodek za priglašeno proračunsko pomoč brez pogojevanja njenega zneska glede na morebitno oceno, kakšni bi bili prihodki iz oglaševanja, izgubljeni zaradi ukinitve oglasnih sporočil.
Such an approach appears to be objectively justified.
Zdi se, da je tak pristop objektivno upravičen.
In fact, on account of the permanent nature of the grant, establishing its amount in relation to what the advertising revenues would have been if the advertising messages had not been discontinued on account of the Law, for example, by setting the amount at the level of the revenues before the announcement and introduction of the reform, adjusted where appropriate in accordance with the television advertising market trends, would become increasingly arbitrary.
Zaradi trajne narave pomoči bi namreč določitev zneska pomoči glede na to, kakšni bi bili prihodki iz oglaševanja, če oglasna sporočila ne bi bila ukinjena z zakonom, na primer tako da se znesek pomoči določi glede na prihodke pred napovedjo in uvedbo reforme, morebiti prilagojene v skladu z razvojem trga televizijskega oglaševanja, postala vse bolj samovoljna.
If the amount of the grant were calculated in this way in relation to presumed revenues, a greater reduction in the gross public service costs than predicted resulting, for example, from future synergies from the establishment of the single undertaking France Télévisions, could give rise to a risk of overcompensation by means of public resources.
Če bi se tako znesek pomoči izračunaval glede na domnevne prihodke, bi znižanje bruto stroškov javne storitve, ki bi bilo večje od predvidenega in bi bilo na primer posledica sinergij, ki bi jih prinesla ustanovitev enotnega podjetja France Télévisions, lahko povzročilo tveganje za prekomerno nadomestilo iz javnih sredstev.
The calculation method for the annual grant in relation to the cost of the public service mission, reduced by net remaining commercial revenues, is moreover consistent with the commitment of the French Republic, henceforth expressed in Article 44 of Law No 86-1067, amended, on Freedom of Communication and in Article 2 of the Decree relating to the financial relations between the French State and public sector bodies in the broadcasting sector, that the public resources allocated to France Télévisions will not exceed the net cost of performing the public service obligations entrusted to the latter.
Način izračunavanja letne pomoči glede na strošek naloge javne službe, od katerega se odštejejo ustvarjeni neto komercialni prihodki, je poleg tega skladen z zavezo Francoske republike, odslej zapisano v členu 44 spremenjenega zakona št. 86-1067 o svobodi komunikacij in členu 2 odloka o finančnih odnosih med francosko državo in organizacijami v javnem avdiovizualnem sektorju, da javna sredstva, dodeljena skupini France Télévisions, ne bodo presegla neto stroškov obveznosti javne službe, ki jo ta opravlja.
As the French authorities recall, this commitment and the above-mentioned provisions are applicable in full to the budgetary grant notified and to the annual public financing mechanism, of which it will henceforth form an integral part.
Kot opozarjajo francoski organi, se ta zaveza in omenjeni določbi polno uporabljajo za priglašeno proračunsko pomoč in mehanizem letnega javnega financiranja, katerega del bo ta pomoč.
Consequently, the method of calculating the annual subsidy in relation to the net cost of the public service mission — i.e. reduced by the net commercial revenues remaining — appears to be proportionate within the meaning of the Commission Broadcasting Communication.
Zato je način izračunavanja letne pomoči glede na neto stroške naloge javne službe – in od katerega se torej odštejejo ustvarjeni neto komercialni prihodki – sorazmeren v smislu sporočila Komisije o radioteleviziji.
In this respect, the comments to the contrary by certain interested third parties are not of a nature to invalidate this conclusion:
V zvezi s tem nasprotne pripombe nekaterih zainteresiranih tretjih strani ne morejo ovreči te ugotovitve:
the FFTCE comments asserting that the compensation for lost advertising revenues, which are not part of the public service mission, does not come under the financing of this mission could not be retained and neither could those of M6 concerning the fluctuating and therefore imprecise nature of estimates of loss of commercial revenues; the annual amount of the grant will have to be fixed ex ante on the basis of the net public service costs of France Télévisions, the estimates of the amount provided by the French Republic for 2010, 2011 and 2012 being purely indicative,
pripomb FFTCE, da nadomestilo za izpad prihodkov iz oglaševanja, ki niso del naloge javne službe, ne spada v financiranje te naloge, ni mogoče upoštevati, kot tudi ne pripomb M6 v zvezi z nihanji in torej nenatančnostjo ocen izgube komercialnih prihodkov; letni znesek pomoči bo moral biti predhodno določen glede na neto stroške javne storitve skupine France Télévisions, pri čemer so bile ocene zneskov, ki jih je predložila Francoska republika za leta 2010, 2011 in 2012, povsem okvirne,
the M6 comments suggesting that an alleged absence of cost accounting tools at France Télévisions established by the French Court of Auditors would result structurally in overcompensation in that the grant would be based on non-objective cost elements, as well as the TF1 comments on overcompensation of uncontrolled or poorly managed costs, are unfounded; firstly, the Court of Auditors established in October 2009 the absence of control management tools integrating the cost accounting tools of the subsidiaries at France Télévisions group level and not the absence of any cost accounting management tool; cost accounting exists for each company of the France Télévisions group,
pripombe M6, da bo domnevni neobstoj orodij za stroškovno računovodstvo v skupini France Télévisions, ki ga je ugotovilo francosko računsko sodišče, povzročil strukturno prekomerno nadomestilo, ker bo pomoč temeljila na neobjektivnih stroškovnih elementih, ter pripombe TF1 glede prekomernega nadomestila za neobvladovane in slabo vodene stroške niso utemeljene; prvič, računsko sodišče je oktobra 2009 ugotovilo, da ni orodij za upravljanje usmerjanja, ki bi na ravni skupine France Télévisions povezalo orodja za stroškovno računovodstvo odvisnih družb, ne pa da ni popolnoma nobenega orodja za stroškovno računovodstvo; vsaka družba v skupini France Télévisions ima stroškovno računovodstvo,
secondly, the examination of the compatibility of the compensation with the internal market, contrary to that relating to the existence of an economic advantage for France Télévisions, is not based on the costs that a typical, well-run undertaking in the sector could incur to perform the service of general interest, but on those which France Télévisions will in fact incur, including therefore the reduction forecasted for the future; as shown above, the total amount of public resources to be paid to France Télévisions will be lower a priori than the costs incurred to provide the public service and will be fixed so as to avoid overcompensation, once the net commercial revenues have been deducted.
drugič, presoja združljivosti nadomestila z notranjim trgom se v nasprotju s presojo obstoja gospodarske prednosti skupine France Télévisions ne nanaša na stroške, ki bi jih povprečno, dobro vodeno podjetje v tem sektorju lahko imelo pri opravljanju storitve splošnega pomena, ampak na stroške, ki jih bo skupina France Télévisions dejansko imela, kar torej vključuje predvideno znižanje v prihodnosti; kot je navedeno zgoraj, bo skupni znesek javnih sredstev, ki ga bo treba izplačati skupini France Télévisions, a priori nižji od stroškov, ki bodo nastali pri opravljanju javne storitve, in bo določen tako, da po odbitku neto komercialnih prihodkov ne bo prekomernih nadomestil.
These comments, which are unfounded as far as the annual fixing of the amount of the grant ex ante is concerned, also do not take account of the existence of ex post control mechanisms.
Te pripombe, ki v zvezi s predhodno določitvijo zneska letnih pomoči niso utemeljene, pa ne upoštevajo obstoja mehanizmov naknadnega nadzora.
In fact, as is shown below, annual fixing of the amount of the grant for the year ex ante in a finance law will be followed by ex post control mechanisms and, where appropriate, recovery.
Kot bo namreč podrobno prikazano spodaj, bodo predhodni letni določitvi zneska pomoči v zakonu o javnih financah za proračunsko leto sledili mehanizmi za naknadni nadzor in, če bo potrebno, za vračilo.
Financial control mechanisms
Mehanizmi finančnega nadzora
The Broadcasting Communication provides that Member States must introduce appropriate mechanisms to ensure that there is no overcompensation, by undertaking regular control of the use of public funding.
V sporočilu o radioteleviziji je določeno, da morajo države članice zagotoviti ustrezne mehanizme, da ne bi prihajalo do plačevanja prekomernih nadomestil, tako da izvajajo redne nadzore porabe javnih sredstev.
The effectiveness of the control, as specified in the Communication, should result from its being carried out by an external body at regular intervals, together with mechanisms to ensure the recovery of any overcompensation or correct allocation, during the following financial year, of any reserves not exceeding 10 % of the annual public service costs, on the one hand, or any cross-subsidisation, on the other.
Učinkovitost nadzora, kot je pojasnjena v sporočilu, mora izhajati iz rednega izvajanja in tega, da ga izvaja neodvisni subjekt, v povezavi z mehanizmi za vračilo morebitnih prekomernih nadomestil ali pravilno dodelitev morebitnih rezerv, ki ne presegajo 10 % letnih stroškov javne storitve, v naslednjem letu na eni strani in morebitnega navzkrižnega subvencioniranja na drugi strani.
Article 2 of Decree No 2007-958 of 15 May 2007 on the financial relations between the State and public sector bodies in the audiovisual communication sector takes up the wording of Article 53 of the Law of 30 September 1986, taking account ‘of the direct or indirect revenue derived from the public service mission’ and specifies that the cost of the public service mission is to be established using separate accounts.
V členu 2 odloka št. 2007-958 z dne 15. maja 2007 o finančnih odnosih med državo in organizacijami v javnem avdiovizualnem sektorju je vključeno besedilo člena 53 zakona z dne 30. septembra 1986, pri čemer se upoštevajo „neposredni in posredni prihodki iz opravljanja obveznosti javne službe“, in pojasnjeno, da se stroški izvajanja naloge javne službe določijo na podlagi ločenih računov.
Article 3 of the Decree provides for the obligation for France Télévisions and its subsidiaries to respect normal market conditions in all their commercial activities and for an external body to draw up an annual report on the discharging of this obligation, forwarded to the competent Minister, the National Assembly and the Senate.
Člen 3 odloka določa, da morajo skupina France Télévisions in njene odvisne družbe spoštovati običajne tržne pogoje pri vseh svojih komercialnih dejavnostih in da zunanja organizacija pripravi letno poročilo o izvajanju te obveznosti, ki ga predloži pristojnemu ministru, narodni skupščini in senatu.
This latter provision was also referred to in France’s commitments taken up in the Commission Decision of 20 April 2005, cited in recital 7.
Na to določbo so se nanašale tudi zaveze Francoske republike, povzete v odločbi Komisije z dne 20. aprila 2005, navedeni v uvodni izjavi 7.
This therefore precludes any cross-subsidisation between commercial activities and public service activities.
To torej izključuje morebitno navzkrižno subvencioniranje med komercialnimi dejavnostmi in dejavnostmi javne službe.
The preparation of the reports in question shows moreover that it is possible to draw up accounts of the public service costs and resources of the various channels of France Télévisions on the basis of the existing accounting tools, contrary to the assertions made in particular by M6.
Priprava zadevnih poročil poleg tega kaže, da je z obstoječimi računovodskimi orodji možno voditi evidence stroškov in virov javne službe za različne televizije skupine France Télévisions v nasprotju s tem, kar trdi zlasti M6.
The arrangements for the ex post control of the public resources provided for in Decree No 2007-958 will apply to the budgetary grant notified.
Pravila o naknadnem nadzoru javnih sredstev, določena z odlokom št. 2007-958, se bodo uporabljala za priglašeno proračunsko pomoč.
