According to the case law of the Court of Justice, the mere fact that the competitive position of an undertaking is strengthened compared with other competing undertakings, by giving it an economic benefit which it would not otherwise have received in the normal course of its business, points to a possible distortion of competition [13].
V skladu s sodno prakso Sodišča že samo dejstvo, da se konkurenčni položaj podjetja v primerjavi z drugimi konkurenčnimi podjetji okrepi z dodelitvijo gospodarske koristi, ki je podjetje sicer v okviru svojega običajnega poslovanja ne bi imelo, pomeni nevarnost izkrivljanja konkurence [13].
Further, aid for an undertaking that operates in a market open to intra-Union trade is liable to affect trade between Member States [14].
Poleg tega bi lahko pomoč podjetju, ki posluje na trgu, odprtem za trgovanje v Uniji, škodila trgovini med državami članicami [14].
Given that there is substantial trade in fisheries products inside the European Union, this measure reinforces the position of these enterprises on the Union market and hence is liable to distort or threatens to distort competition and affect intra-Union trade [15].
Glede na obsežno trgovino z ribiškimi proizvodi v Evropski uniji ta ukrep krepi položaj takšnih podjetij na trgu Unije ter torej lahko izkrivlja ali bi lahko izkrivljal konkurenco in škodil trgovini med državami članicami [15].
The fact that the imports are higher than the exports or that most of the fish consumed comes from other countries is not relevant.
Dejstvo, da je uvoz večji od izvoza ali da večina porabljenih rib prihaja iz drugih držav, ni pomembno.
On the contrary, this shows that the market for fisheries products in Finland is indeed very open and suggests then that aid to the Finnish undertakings supports their position with regard to the undertakings established in the other Member States and distorts or threatens to distort competition.
To ravno nasprotno kaže, da je trg za ribiške proizvode na Finskem dejansko zelo odprt ter da pomoč podpira položaj finskih podjetij v primerjavi s podjetji, ustanovljenimi v drugih državah članicah, in izkrivlja ali bi lahko izkrivljal konkurenco.
Even the fact that the quantity of imported fish consumed may have increased compared to the one of non imported fish consumed does not change anything from that point of view; it could only suggest that the Finnish undertakings have not made the adaptations which were necessary to follow the evolution of the economic conditions pertaining to the market of fisheries products in Finland.
Tudi dejstvo, da se je količina porabljenih uvoženih rib morda povečala v primerjavi s porabo neuvoženih rib, s tega stališča ničesar ne spremeni; to lahko le pomeni, da se finska podjetja niso prilagodila, kot bi bilo potrebno glede na razvoj gospodarskih razmer na trgu z ribiškimi proizvodi na Finskem.
In any event, these undertakings benefit from aid which supports their position on the internal market with regard to foreign undertakings.
V vsakem primeru so ta podjetja upravičena do pomoči, s katero se krepi njihov položaj na notranjem trgu v primerjavi s tujimi podjetji.
In the light of the foregoing, it can be concluded that the conditions set out in Article 107(1) are fulfilled and that the compensation paid to the fisheries enterprises and coming from the State budget is a State aid in the sense of Article 107(1) of the TFEU.
Glede na navedeno je mogoče sklepati, da so pogoji iz člena 107(1) izpolnjeni ter da nadomestilo, ki je plačano ribiškim podjetjem in izvira iz državnega proračuna, pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.

Nature of this aid scheme
Značilnosti zadevne sheme pomoči
The Fisheries Insurance Scheme is aimed at covering expenses which are partially covered by insurance premiums.
Namen ribiške zavarovalne sheme je kritje stroškov, ki so delno kriti z zavarovalnimi premijami.
It is not per se an aid for insurance premiums; it is not aimed at covering a part of insurance premiums, but at covering a part of the claims for compensation submitted by the enterprises to the fisheries insurance associations.
Pomoč sama po sebi ni pomoč za zavarovalne premije; njen namen ni kritje dela zavarovalnih premij, ampak kritje dela zahtevkov za nadomestilo, ki jih podjetja predložijo ribiškim zavarovalnim družbam.
However, as these claims are submitted to these associations which have to pay out for the eligible amount of damages suffered, the Commission considers that the effect of this aid is to lower the premiums that the fishing enterprises should have paid if the fisheries insurance associations concerned had not expected to get monies from the State.
Ker pa so ti zahtevki predloženi tem družbam, ki morajo izplačati upravičen znesek za nastalo škodo, Komisija meni, da je učinek navedene pomoči znižanje premij, ki bi jih ribiška podjetja morala plačati, če zadevne ribiške zavarovalne družbe ne bi pričakovale sredstev od države.
Thus, it has the same effect as an aid scheme for insurance premiums.
Zato ima enak učinek kot shema pomoči za zavarovalne premije.
This scheme can therefore be considered as an aid scheme for insurance premiums.
Ta shema se tako lahko šteje kot shema pomoči za zavarovalne premije.
The Commission cannot concur with the opinion of the Finnish authorities when they say that the situation with regard to the Guidelines 2004 and 2008 is comparable to the one with the Guidelines 1997 by considering that no provision on aid for insurance premiums has been laid down in any of them.
Komisija se ne more strinjati s stališčem finskih organov, da je položaj v okviru Smernic iz let 2004 in 2008 primerljiv s položajem v okviru Smernic iz leta 1997, ker v nobeni od teh smernic ni bilo določeno zagotavljanje pomoči za zavarovalne premije.
Moreover, the overall framework within which the Commission is assessing State aid for insurance premiums has changed.
Poleg tega se je spremenil splošni okvir, v katerem Komisija ocenjuje državno pomoč za zavarovalne premije.
This State aid scheme was considered compatible by the Commission in 2000 [17] for the compensation resulting from the ‘exceptional conditions specific of Finnish weather and coastal zones’.
Po mnenju Komisije je bila shema državne pomoči združljiva leta 2000 [17] za nadomestilo na podlagi „izrednih pogojev, značilnih za finske vremenske razmere in obalna območja“.
To reach that decision, the Commission referred in its reasoning to the situation in the agriculture sector for which no provision in the Guidelines applying to the agriculture sector neither existed, but where the Commission had a practice to decide positively on a case-by-case basis for aid measure in connection with insurance against natural disasters and exceptional insurances.
Pri tej odločitvi se je Komisija v obrazložitvi sklicevala na položaj v kmetijskem sektorju, v zvezi s katerim v smernicah ni nobene določbe, ki bi veljala zanj, vendar se Komisija običajno za vsak primer posebej pozitivno odloči za ukrep pomoči v povezavi z zavarovanjem za naravne nesreče in izrednimi zavarovanji.
In 2000, for both agriculture and fisheries sector, the Commission has clarified its policy by laying down criteria to be followed for the assessment [18] of such kind of aid in the respective Guidelines.
Komisija je leta 2000 za kmetijski in ribiški sektor pojasnila svojo politiko z določitvijo meril, ki jih je treba upoštevati pri oceni [18] takšne pomoči v zadevnih smernicah.
Since then, such criteria still exist in the agriculture Guidelines [19] while they do not exist anymore in the fisheries Guidelines.
Od takrat so ta merila še vedno vključena v smernice za kmetijstvo [19], medtem ko jih v smernicah za ribištvo ni več.
Thus, while the Commission, in the agriculture sector, has laid down precise criteria for considering aid for insurance premiums compatible with the internal market, those criteria have been deleted in the fisheries Guidelines.
Komisija je torej za kmetijski sektor določila natančna merila za obravnavanje pomoči za zavarovalne premije kot združljive z notranjim trgom, medtem ko so bila ta merila v smernicah za ribištvo črtana.
For the fisheries sector, the Commission is then obliged to revert to the general principle of incompatibility of State aid and assess the compatibility or incompatibility of a scheme of that kind on the basis of the provisions which may apply.
Za ribiški sektor mora zdaj Komisija uporabljati splošno načelo nezdružljivosti državne pomoči in združljivost ali nezdružljivost takšne sheme oceniti na podlagi določb, ki se lahko uporabljajo.
The provision of the current Guidelines which may apply is paragraph 4.9 which says that the aid measures for which there is no applicable provision in the other paragraphs listing the different categories of aid which may be considered compatible with the internal market cannot in principle be considered compatible.
Določba veljavnih Smernic, ki se lahko uporablja, je odstavek 4.9, ki določa, da se ukrepi pomoči, za katere ni veljavne določbe v drugih odstavkih, v katerih so naštete različne kategorije pomoči, ki se lahko štejejo za združljive z notranjim trgom, načeloma ne morejo šteti za združljive.
By exception, an aid scheme can however be considered compatible if the Member State demonstrates that it complies with the various principles set out in those Guidelines and serves the objectives of the common fisheries policy.
Izjemoma se lahko shema pomoči vseeno šteje za združljivo, če država članica dokaže, da je shema skladna z različnimi načeli iz navedenih Smernic in uresničuje cilje skupne ribiške politike.
In its reply to the initiating of the procedure, Finland has made concrete proposals to amend the scheme in a restrictive manner [20].
Finska je v odgovoru na začetek postopka navedla konkretne predloge za omejeno spremembo sheme [20].
In addition it has justified its continuation by the existence of a market failure in the insurance market for the coverage of a significant part of these damages.
Poleg tega je njeno nadaljevanje upravičila z nedelovanjem zavarovalniškega trga za kritje velikega dela navedene škode.
In its letter attached to this reply, the Finnish Confederation of the Financial Sector Finanssialan Keskusliitto recognises that they would not be able to cover all the damages as it now stands with the Fisheries Insurance Associations.
Finska konfederacija finančnega sektorja Finanssialan Keskusliitto v dopisu, priloženem zadevnemu odgovoru priznava, da glede na sedanji položaj ribiške zavarovalne družbe ne bodo mogle kriti vseh škod.
This coverage would be a very partial coverage or even in some cases, for instance for the damages to gear, would not be possible.
Kritje bi bilo le zelo omejeno delno kritje, v nekaterih primerih, na primer za škodo na orodju, pa kritje sploh ne bi bilo mogoče.
Insurance companies cannot consider such damages as insurable or, to consider them so, the insurance premiums would be beyond a reasonable rate.
Zavarovalne družbe takšnih vrst škode ne morejo šteti za škode, ki jih je mogoče zavarovati, sicer bi zavarovalne premije presegle razumno stopnjo.
This shows that the fisheries insurance associations are not in a position to distort competition with respect to the private insurance companies.
To kaže, da ribiške zavarovalne družbe ne morejo izkrivljati konkurence glede na zasebne zavarovalnice.
This characterises the existence of a market failure in Finland for the coverage of these damages by private companies.
To kaže na nedelovanje trga za kritje takšnih vrst škode s strani zasebnih družb na Finskem.
The Commission considers that a State aid measure which addresses a market failure can be considered compatible with the internal market when it fulfils objectives of common interest.
Komisija meni, da se ukrep državne pomoči, ki obravnava nedelovanje trga, lahko šteje za združljivega z notranjim trgom, če izpolnjuje cilje skupnega interesa.
This meets the requirements of point 4.9 of the Guidelines concerning compliance with the principles set out in the Guidelines and with the objectives of the common fisheries policy.
Tako so izpolnjene zahteve iz točke 4.9 Smernic v zvezi s skladnostjo z načeli iz Smernic in cilji skupne ribiške politike.
The objectives of the common fishery policy are to ensure the exploitation of living aquatic resources that provides sustainable economic, environmental and social conditions [21].
Cilj skupne ribiške politike je zagotoviti izkoriščanje živih vodnih virov, s čimer se ustvarjajo trajnostni gospodarski, okoljski in socialni pogoji [21].
The Commission considers that this scheme, as amended in accordance with the modifications described by Finland, would contribute to provide such conditions.
Komisija meni, da bi zadevna shema, spremenjena v skladu s spremembami, ki jih je navedla Finska, prispevala k zagotovitvi takšnih pogojev.
Along with the application of the conservation and management rules for the exploitation of these resources, it would allow continuation of fishing in conditions which are those specific to the coastal waters of Finland, including damages caused to the equipment (fishing nets) by seals and, sometimes, cormorants.
Z uporabo pravil ohranjanja in upravljanja pri izkoriščanju teh virov bi omogočila nadaljevanje ribolova v pogojih, ki so značilni za obalne vode Finske, vključno s škodo, ki jo na opremi (ribiških mrežah) povzročijo tjulnji in včasih kormorani.
This would help providing them sound economic, environmental and social conditions to the fishing enterprises facing the specific constraints of the exercise of fishing in these waters.
Tako bi bilo lažje zagotoviti dobre gospodarske, okoljske in socialne pogoje za ribiška podjetja, ki se srečujejo s posebnimi omejitvami pri izvajanju ribolova v teh vodah.
This would also help maintaining the socioeconomic fabric of the coastal communities concerned.
Prav tako bi se lažje ohranjala socialno-gospodarska struktura zadevnih obalnih skupnosti.
The Commission observes in addition that this aid scheme, when amended, will not in any event offer a full compensation for the damages concerned.
Poleg tega Komisija ugotavlja, da se z zadevno shemo pomoči, če bo spremenjena, v nobenem primeru ne bo zagotovilo polno nadomestilo za nastalo škodo.
The current system, with first a franchise and, second, only a partial reimbursement of the compensation paid [22], will remain in place.
Ohranil se bo sedanji sistem s franšizo in le delnim povračilom plačanega nadomestila [22].
Thus, the existence of a counterpart needed from the beneficiaries of this aid scheme, as requested by point 3.3 of the Guidelines, still remains.
Tako se bo ohranila potrebna zahteva za upravičence te sheme pomoči, kot je zahtevana v točki 3.3 Smernic.
Finally, the Commission considers that the period that Finland considers necessary to amend the scheme [23] is acceptable.
Nazadnje Komisija meni, da je obdobje, ki ga Finska potrebuje za spremembo sheme [23], sprejemljivo.
Taking into account the necessary legislative procedure, the deadline of 1 January 2013 for the entrance into force of the law amending the current legal basis of this scheme is a reasonable one.
Ob upoštevanju potrebnega zakonodajnega postopka je rok 1. januar 2013 za začetek veljavnosti zakona, ki spreminja veljavno pravno podlago zadevne sheme, razumen.
They will then be renewed again in 2013 in accordance with the new conditions applying at this time.
Znova bodo obnovljene leta 2013 v skladu s takrat veljavnimi novimi pogoji.
Therefore, the ultimate deadline of 31 December 2013 with entry into force of such adapted contracts the day after, i.e. 1 January 2014, is justified.
Zato je skrajni rok 31. december 2013, pri čemer takšne prilagojene pogodbe začnejo veljati dan pozneje, tj. 1. januarja 2014, upravičen.
In the light of the foregoing analysis, the Commission concludes that the ‘Fisheries Insurance Scheme’ can be considered compatible with the internal market when it is amended in accordance with the following principles:
Na podlagi navedene analize Komisija ugotavlja, da se ribiška zavarovalna shema lahko šteje za združljivo z notranjim trgom, če se spremeni v skladu z naslednjimi načeli:
exclusion of the vessels exercising fishing in the open sea, which means in practice the exclusion of the vessels over 12 metres long,
izključitev plovil, ki izvajajo ribolov na odprtem morju, kar v praksi pomeni izključitev plovil, daljših od 12 m,
only coverage of the damages which are caused by the specific conditions of Finland and thus caused by the adverse climatic or geographical conditions (ice, snow, strong storms, reefs in shallow waters) or by the seals and cormorants, and suffered by the vessels and fishing gear as well as transport and haulage vehicles and other specific equipment used for winter fishing.
kritje le za škode, ki nastanejo zaradi posebnih pogojev na Finskem in so torej posledica slabih podnebnih ali geografskih pogojev (led, sneg, hude nevihte, grebeni v plitvih vodah) ali jih povzročijo tjulnji in kormorani, na plovilih ali ribiški opremi, transportnih in tovornih vozilih ter drugi posebni opremi, ki se uporablja za zimski ribolov.
The Commission takes note of the commitment of the Finnish authorities to amend the legal basis of that aid scheme at the latest by 1 January 2013 in order that the terms of the insurance contracts be changed at the latest by 1 January 2014,
Komisija je seznanjena z zavezo finskih organov, da bodo pravno podlago zadevne sheme spremenili najpozneje do 1. januarja 2013, da se pogoji zavarovalnih pogodb spremenijo najpozneje do 1. januarja 2014 –
The existing aid scheme ‘Fisheries Insurance Scheme’ which was subject to a proposal for appropriate measures after the revision of the Guidelines for the examination of State aid to fisheries and aquaculture is compatible with the internal market when it is amended in accordance with the following commitment made by Finland:
Veljavna shema pomoči, tj. „ribiška zavarovalna shema“, na katero se je nanašal predlog za ustrezne ukrepe po spremembi Smernic za pregled državnih pomoči za ribištvo in ribogojstvo, je združljiva z notranjim trgom, če se spremeni v skladu z naslednjimi zavezami Finske:
The legal provisions amending this scheme shall enter into force at the latest by 1 January 2013 and the relevant insurance contracts concluded on their basis shall enter into force at the latest by 1 January 2014.
Pravne določbe, ki spreminjajo zadevno shemo, začnejo veljati najpozneje 1. januarja 2013, ustrezne zavarovalne pogodbe, sklenjene na podlagi teh določb, pa začnejo veljati najpozneje 1. januarja 2014.

It appears from the Eurostat data that Finland imported from other Member States an average of 30000 tonnes of fisheries products per year during the years 2007 to 2009 for an average value of EUR 90 million per year and exported to other Member States an average of 20000 tonnes per year during the same period for an average value of EUR 15 million per year.
Po podatkih Eurostata je Finska v obdobju 2007–2009 iz drugih držav članic uvozila povprečno 30000 ton ribiških proizvodov na leto v povprečni vrednosti 90 milijonov EUR na leto, v druge države članice pa je v istem obdobju izvozila povprečno 20000 ton na leto v povprečni vrednosti 15 milijonov EUR na leto.

Finland replied by letter of 15 November 2010.
Finska je odgovorila z dopisom z dne 15. novembra 2010.
In addition, following the publication of the decision in the Official Journal, the Commission received comments by three interested parties: two letters sent by two associations representing Finnish professional fishermen, Suomen Ammatikalastajalitto SAKL ry (letter of 8 November 2011) and Kalatalouden Keskusliitto (letter of 16 November 2010) and a letter sent by the six fisheries insurance associations existing in Finland (letter of 16 November 2010).
Poleg tega je Komisija po objavi odločitve v Uradnem listu prejela pripombe treh zainteresiranih strani: dva dopisa sta poslali združenji, ki zastopata finske poklicne ribiče, in sicer Suomen Ammatikalastajalitto SAKL ry (dopis z dne 8. novembra 2011) in Kalatalouden Keskusliitto (dopis z dne 16. novembra 2010), tretji dopis pa je poslalo šest ribiških zavarovalnih družb, ki delujejo na Finskem (dopis z dne 16. novembra 2010).
Copies of these letters were sent to the Finnish authorities on 6 December 2010.
Izvodi teh dopisov so bili finskim organom poslani 6. decembra 2010.
Later, representatives of these associations came to meet the Commission services on 13 January 2011 and provided complementary documents.
Predstavniki navedenih združenj so se 13. januarja 2011 sestali s Komisijo, pri čemer so predložili dodatne dokumente.
This aid scheme is based on Law No 331 of 23 July 1958, last amended by law No 1236 of 29 January 1999 [8].
Zadevna shema pomoči temelji na zakonu št. 331 z dne 23. julija 1958, ki je bil nazadnje spremenjen z zakonom št. 1236 z dne 29. januarja 1999 [8].
