For both, the existence of state aid and the compatibility of the measures in question it is relevant whether the beneficiary was in difficulty at the time when the measures were granted.
Za obstoj državne pomoči in združljivost zadevnih ukrepov je relevantno, ali je bil upravičenec ob odobritvi ukrepov v težavah.
According to the R&R Guidelines 1999, a company can be considered as being in difficulty when it meets the so called hard criteria laid down in Point 5 of those Guidelines, that is when it lost more than half of its registered capital or could be subject to collective insolvency proceedings under national law.
V skladu s smernicami za reševanje in prestrukturiranje 1999 je podjetje v težavah, ko izpolnjuje tako imenovana skrajna merila, določena v točki 5 navedenih smernic, to je, kadar je več kot polovica registriranega osnovnega kapitala izgubljena ali če izpolnjuje pogoje, ki jih določa domače pravo za uvedbo kolektivnih postopkov v primeru nesolventnosti.
If the hard criteria are not met, a company can still show the "usual signs of a firm being in difficulty" according to point 6 of the R&R Guidelines 1999, such as increasing losses, diminishing turnover, growing stock inventories, excess capacity, declining cash flow, mounting debt, rising interest charges and falling or nil net asset value (so-called soft criteria).
Če skrajna merila niso izpolnjena, podjetje še vedno lahko kaže običajne znake, da je podjetje v težavah glede na točko 6 smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje 1999, kot so naraščajoče izgube, upadanje prometa, kopičenje zalog, presežki prostih zmogljivosti, padanje denarnih tokov, naraščajoči dolgovi, naraščajoči stroški obresti ter zmanjševanje ali izguba vrednosti premoženja (tako imenovana milejša merila).
The R&R Guidelines 2004 include similar hard and soft criteria in Points 10 and 11.
Smernice za reševanje in prestrukturiranje 2004 vključujejo podobna skrajna in milejša merila v točkah 10 in 11.
Against this background, the Commission notes that in the year 2000, Karjaportti has not lost capital nor has it shown the "usual signs" of a firm being in difficulty in the year 2000.
Ob upoštevanju tega ozadja Komisija ugotavlja, da podjetje Karjaportti leta 2000 ni izgubilo kapitala ali kazalo „običajnih znakov“ podjetja v težavah.
In fact it seems that Karjaportti was a healthy company which recorded a high turnover, a positive operating result, stable share capital and reserves at relatively high levels for the period between 2000 and 2002 (see also Table I).
Pravzaprav se zdi, da je bilo podjetje Karjaportti zdravo podjetje z visokim zabeleženim prometom, pozitivnimi poslovnimi prihodki, stalnim delniškim kapitalom in rezervami na relativno visoki ravni za obdobje 2000–2002 (glej tudi tabelo I).
The situation looked gloomier in the following years.
Položaj se je poslabšal v naslednjih letih.
It also seems that Karjaportti had some excess capacities.
Zdi se, da je imelo podjetje Karjaportti tudi nekaj presežkov prostih zmogljivosti.
In addition, it has to be taken into account that already in 2004, Karjaportti's losses were not covered by the contingency fund anymore (see Table I).
Poleg tega je treba upoštevati dejstvo, da sklad za nepredvidene izdatke ni več kril izgub podjetja Karjaportti že leta 2004 (glej tabelo I).
With the exception of the year 2006, Karjaportti has since 2003 been loss making.
Podjetje Karjaportti ima od leta 2003 izgubo, izjema je bilo le leto 2006.
The profit made in 2006 cannot be perceived as a sign of recovery of the company as it did not stem from the core activity of the company.
Dobiček iz leta 2006 ne more biti obravnavan kot znak okrevanja podjetja, saj ni izhajal iz temeljne dejavnosti podjetja.
Karjaportti's operational profit remained negative, similarly to the preceding and the following years.
Dobiček iz poslovanja podjetja Karjaportti je ostal negativen, podobno kot v prejšnjem in naslednjih letih.
The profit in 2006 was not sufficient to offset the amount of deficit accumulated over past accounting periods nor to compensate for the negative equity.
Dobiček leta 2006 ni bil dovolj velik, da bi se pobotal znesek primanjkljaja, ki je nastal v preteklih obračunskih obdobjih, ali da bi se nadomestil negativni lastniški kapital.
Overall the financial situation of Karjaportti remained considerably unfavourable.
Splošna finančna situacija podjetja Karjaportti je ostala zelo neugodna.
In 2008, Karjaportti was twice put into bankruptcy proceedings by the tax authorities.
Leta 2008 so davčni organi proti podjetju Karjaportti dvakrat sprožili stečajni postopek.
Measures withdrawn
Umaknjeni ukrepi
In accordance with Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the Treaty [41] ('the Procedural Regulation'), a Member State can withdraw the notification after the opening of the formal investigation procedure in due time before the Commission has taken a decision on the aid character of the notified measure.
V skladu s členom 8 Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 z dne 22. marca 1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 93 Pogodbe ES [41] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: postopkovna uredba) država članica lahko pravočasno umakne uradno priglasitev po sprožitvi formalnega postopka preiskave, preden Komisija sprejme odločbo o značaju pomoči priglašenega ukrepa.
In such case, the Commission will decide to close that procedure on the ground that it is without object.
V takem primeru se Komisija odloči, da zaključi navedeni postopek z obrazložitvijo, da je brezpredmeten.
Guarantee granted on 12 June 2000 (measure 1) and assignment of land (measure 2)
Poroštvo, dodeljeno 12. junija 2000 (ukrep 1), in dodelitev zemljišč (ukrep 2)
Accordingly, several steps have to be distinguished.
V skladu s tem je treba razlikovati več korakov.
Whereas the aid is granted at the moment when a state guarantee is given, any payments by the state according to the terms of the guarantee are not to be considered as granting of state aid [42].
Medtem ko je pomoč dodeljena v trenutku, ko je dodeljeno državno poroštvo, katera koli plačila države v skladu s pogoji poroštva ne pomenijo dodelitve državne pomoči [42].
On the other hand, the change of the conditions of the loan after the state guarantor has become creditor could entail state aid.
Vendar pa bi sprememba pogojev posojila potem, ko je državni garant postal upnik, lahko pomenila državno pomoč.
In the following, it is examined whether the guarantee given in June 2000 constitutes state aid.
V nadaljevanju se prouči, ali je poroštvo, dodeljeno junija 2000, pomenilo državno pomoč.
The question whether the changes in the conditions of the loan could entail state aid is assessed as part of measure 6 (see recitals 188-195).
Vprašanje, ali bi spremembe pogojev posojila lahko zajemale državno pomoč, se prouči kot del ukrepa 6 (glej uvodne izjave 188–195).
The guarantee was given by the City of Mikkeli and accordingly consists of state resources and is imputable to the state.
Poroštvo je dodelilo mesto Mikkeli in v skladu s tem sestoji iz državnih sredstev in se pripiše državi.
To involve state aid, within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU, a measure must confer an advantage that an undertaking would not have obtained under normal market conditions.
Ukrep zajema državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU, če dodeljuje prednost, ki je podjetje ne bi imelo pod običajnimi tržnimi pogoji.
According to point 3.2 of the Guarantee Notice 2008, the existence of state aid within an individual state guarantee can be ruled out if four cumulative requirements are fulfilled: "(a) The borrower is not in financial difficulty […], (b) The extent of the guarantee can be properly measured when it is granted, […] (c) The guarantee does not cover more than 80 % of the outstanding loan or other financial obligation […], (d) A market-oriented price is paid for the guarantee […]."
V skladu s točko 3.2 obvestila o poroštvih 2008 izpolnjevanje štirih kumulativnih zahtev izključuje obstoj državne pomoči znotraj posameznega državnega poroštva: „(a) Posojilojemalec ni v finančnih težavah […], (b) Obseg poroštva je mogoče pravilno določiti ob njegovi dodelitvi […], (c) Poroštvo ne zajema več kot 80 % neodplačanega posojila ali druge finančne obveznosti […], (d) Za poroštvo se plača tržno oblikovana cena […].“
In the case at hand, the borrower has not been in financial difficulties at the time of granting (see recitals 123–128).
V tem primeru posojilojemalec ob dodelitvi ni bil v finančnih težavah (glej uvodne izjave 123–128).
However, the guarantee under assessment covers 100 % of the loan.
Vendar poroštvo v postopku ocenjevanja zajema 100 % posojila.
In addition, the guarantee was granted without any guarantee fee, even though the granting authority itself considered that a great risk was entailed [44].
Poleg tega je bilo poroštvo dodeljeno brez provizije za poroštvo, čeprav je organ za dodelitev sam menil, da je prisotno večje tveganje [44].
Whereas Finland argues that Karjaportti could have obtained a similar guarantee on the market, the Commission is of the opinion that a guarantee premium of zero cannot be considered as close to the market premium applicable at the time of granting.
Finska trdi, da bi podjetje Karjaportti lahko pridobilo podobno poroštvo na trgu, vendar Komisija meni, da nična premija za poroštvo ne more biti primerljiva s tržno premijo, ki se je uporabljala ob dodelitvi.
The guarantee covered 100 % of the loan in question, that is to say that the granting authority bore the risk of default of the beneficiary alone and the guarantee was granted as an absolute guarantee, i.e. the guarantor was liable for the principal debt as if it were the guarantor's own and the creditor could ask for the repayment of principal debt from the guarantor when the principal debt had become due.
Poroštvo je zajemalo 100 % zadevnega posojila, kar pomeni, da je organ dodelitve sam nosil tveganje neplačila upravičenca in da je bilo poroštvo dodeljeno kot absolutno poroštvo, tj. da je garant odgovoren za glavnico, kot če bi bila garantova, in bi lahko upnik zaprosil garanta za odplačilo glavnice, ko je glavnica zapadla.
Accordingly, in the case at hand, contrary to the view of Finland, the Commission is of the opinion that the measure cannot be considered free of aid.
V skladu s tem Komisija v zadevnem primeru v nasprotju s Finsko meni, da ukrep zajema pomoč.
Finland's argument that the measure was granted together with other parties can be rejected, as according to the information provided by Finland the other parties taking part in the investment were also state owned.
Trditev Finske, da je bil ukrep odobren skupaj z drugimi stranmi, se lahko zavrne, saj so bile po predloženih informacijah Finske druge strani, udeležene pri naložbi, prav tako v državni lasti.
Accordingly, it is considered that the measure confers an advantage to Karjaportti.
V skladu s tem Komisija meni, da ukrep dodeljuje prednost podjetju Karjaportti.
To be considered state aid, a measure must be specific or selective in that it favours only certain undertakings or the production of certain goods.
Ukrep mora biti specifičen ali selektiven tako, da koristi le nekaterim podjetjem ali proizvodnji posameznega blaga, da se ga uvrsti kot državno pomoč.
The measure under assessment was granted to Karjaportti, one specific company.
Ukrep v postopku ocenjevanja je bil dodeljen podjetju Karjaportti, enemu določenemu podjetju.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the measure taken constitutes a selective advantage to the beneficiary.
Komisija zato meni, da je sprejeti ukrep pomenil selektivno prednost za upravičenca.
Finally, the Commission has to consider whether the measure taken by the City of Mikkeli in favour of Karjaportti is likely to distort competition and affect trade between Member States, by providing this company with an advantage over (potential) competitors not receiving public support.
Komisija mora proučiti tudi, ali je verjetno, da bo ukrep, ki ga je mesto Mikkeli sprejelo v korist podjetja Karjaportti, izkrivljal konkurenco in vplival na trgovino med državami članicami z zagotovitvijo prednosti temu podjetju pred (morebitnimi) konkurenti, ki ne prejemajo javne pomoči.
There is trade in meat products between Member States, the area in which the beneficiary operates.
Na področju, na katerem deluje upravičenec, obstaja trgovina z mesnimi proizvodi med državami članicami.
According to Finland, Karjaportti exports its products mainly to Russia, but also to Member States.
Po navedbah Finske podjetje Karjaportti svoje proizvode izvaža predvsem v Rusijo, vendar tudi v države članice.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the measure taken is likely to distort competition and affect trade between Member States.
Komisija zato meni, da je verjetno, da bo sprejeti ukrep verjetno izkrivljal konkurenco in vplival na trgovino med državami članicami.
On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission concludes that the measure constitutes state aid.
Na podlagi navedenega je Komisija sklenila, da ukrep pomeni državno pomoč.
Assignment of land (measure 2): Finland does not deny that the measure could constitute state aid.
Dodelitev zemljišč (ukrep 2) Finska ne zanika, da bi ukrep lahko pomenil državno pomoč.
The beneficiary was clearly granted an advantage, as it did not have to pay anything for the assignment of the land.
Jasno je, da je bila upravičencu dodeljena prednost, saj mu za dodelitev zemljišč ni bilo treba plačati.
In addition, the City of Mikkeli reimbursed the beneficiary the costs for the levelling of the site.
Poleg tega je mesto Mikkeli upravičencu povrnilo stroške izravnave zemljišča.
Accordingly, the Commission considers that the measure confers an advantage to Karjaportti that it would not have received on the market.
Zato Komisija meni, da ukrep podjetju Karjaportti dodeljuje prednost, ki je na trgu ne bi imel.
In addition, the measure meets all other requirements for the existence of state aid.
Poleg tega ukrep izpolnjuje vse druge zahteve za obstoj državne pomoči.
As described in detail in recitals 133, 140 and 141, also the assignment of land consists of state resources and is imputable to the state, is selective, and it distorts competition and affects trade among the Member States.
Kot je podrobno opisano v uvodnih izjavah 133, 140 in 141, dodelitev zemljišč zajema državna sredstva in se pripiše državi, je selektivna ter izkrivlja konkurenco in vpliva na trgovino med državami članicami.
Finland argues that the guarantee, together with the assignment of land for building the production site in Tikkala, is compatible as regional aid.
Finska trdi, da je poroštvo, skupaj z dodelitvijo zemljišč za gradnjo proizvodnega obrata Tikkala, združljivo kot regionalna pomoč.
At the time when measures 1 and 2 were granted, that is in the year 2000, the RAG 1998 were in force [45].
Ob odobritvi ukrepov 1 in 2, to je leta 2000, so veljale smernice o regionalni pomoči 1998 [45].
The measures under consideration were not granted under a scheme, but as an individual ad hoc payment.
Proučevani ukrepi niso bili odobreni v okviru sheme, temveč kot posamezno ad hoc plačilo.
According to Section 2 of the RAG 1998, regional aid can only be compatible if there is a balance between its distortive effect and its advantage as regards the development of a less favoured region.
V skladu z oddelkom 2 smernic o regionalni pomoči 1998 je regionalna pomoč lahko združljiva le, če je mogoče zagotoviti ravnovesje med povzročenim izkrivljanjem konkurence in koristmi, ki jih pomoč prinese razvoju regije z omejenimi možnostmi.
In this context, the Commission notes that the investment project in question was supposed to have positive impact on the regional development.
V tem okviru Komisija ugotavlja, da naj bi zadevni naložbeni projekt pozitivno vplival na regionalni razvoj.
It contributed to the further development of the economic activity and to the creation of new and indirect jobs.
Prispeval je k nadaljnjemu razvoju gospodarske dejavnosti ter ustvarjanju novih in posrednih delovnih mest.
In fact, as described in recital 24, the new production site should raise the number of jobs in the region from 400 to 550-600.
Kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi 24, bi moral novi proizvodni obrat zvišati število delovnih mest v regiji s 400 na 550–600.
Section 4 of the RAG 1998 lays down the conditions for granting compatible regional aid.
Oddelek 4 smernic o regionalni pomoči 1998 določa pogoje za dodelitev združljive regionalne pomoči.
First, according to Point 4.1 of the RAG 1998, the object of regional aid is to secure either productive investment (initial investment) or job creation linked to investment.
V skladu s točko 4.1 smernic o regionalni pomoči 1998 je cilj regionalne pomoči zagotavljanje produktivnih investicij (začetnih investicij) ali ustvarjanje delovnih mest, ki so povezana z investicijo.
Initial investment means according to Point 4.4 of the RAG 1998 an investment in fixed capital relating to the setting-up of a new establishment, the extension of an existing establishment, or the starting-up of an activity involving a fundamental change in the product or production process of an existing establishment.
Začetna investicija v skladu s točko 4.4 smernic o regionalni pomoči 1998 pomeni vlaganje v osnovna sredstva pri postavitvi novega obrata, širitvi obstoječega obrata ali začetku dejavnosti, ki pomeni temeljito spremembo proizvoda ali proizvodnega procesa v obstoječem obratu.
The measures under consideration were used to build a new production site, which is an initial investment within the meaning of point 4.4 of the RAG 1998.
Proučevani ukrepi so bili uporabljeni za gradnjo novega proizvodnega obrata, kar je v smislu točke 4.4 smernic o regionalni pomoči 1998 začetna investicija.
Secondly, the aid intensity must be below the regional aid ceiling of 24 % [46].
Poleg tega mora biti intenzivnost pomoči nižja od zgornje meje regionalne pomoči 24 % [46].
In order to calculate the aid intensity, the value of the investment and the aid element involved in the measures considered have to be determined.
Za izračun intenzivnosti pomoči je treba ugotoviti vrednost naložbe in element pomoči v proučevanih ukrepih.
Concerning the investment's value, according to Point 4.5 of the RAG 1998, the eligible costs in this context may include costs for land, building plants and machinery.
Glede vrednosti naložbe lahko po točki 4.5 smernic o regionalni pomoči 1998 upravičeni stroški v tem okviru zajemajo stroške za zemljišča, zgradbe in opremo.
In the event of a purchase, only the costs of buying these assets should be taken into account.
V primeru nakupa bi bilo treba upoštevati samo stroške nakupa teh osnovnih sredstev.
In fact, Finland calculated the eligible costs according to these provisions, resulting in an amount of EUR 25935928 (see recital 22 and Table III).
Pravzaprav je Finska upravičene stroške izračunala v skladu s temi določbami in so znašali 25935928 EUR (glej uvodno izjavo 22 in tabelo III).
Concerning the aid element involved, Finland provided a calculation, the credibility of which has been cross-checked by the Commission.
Glede uporabljenega elementa pomoči je Finska predložila izračun, katerega verodostojnost je navzkrižno preverila Komisija.
For measure 1, the guarantee granted by the City of Mikkeli, the Guarantee Notice 2000 can be used to quantify the aid element.
Za ukrep 1, poroštvo, ki ga je dodelilo mesto Mikkeli, se za izračun elementa pomoči lahko uporablja obvestilo o poroštvih 2000.
Three methods are foreseen to quantify the aid element, out of which one is to calculate it "by any other objectively justifiable and generally accepted method" (Section 3.2 of the Guarantee Notice 2000).
Za izračun elementa pomoči so predvidene tri metode, ena izmed njih pa je izračun „po kakršni koli drugi objektivno utemeljeni in splošno sprejeti metodi“ (oddelek 3.2 obvestila o poroštvih 2000).
Finland has compared the market rate for a comparable guarantee to the guarantee premium actually charged by the City of Mikkeli, which seems in fact to be an objectively justifiable and generally accepted method.
Finska je primerjala tržno obrestno mero za primerljivo poroštvo s premijo za poroštvo, ki jo je dejansko zaračunalo mesto Mikkeli, kar je pravzaprav objektivno utemeljena in splošno sprejeta metoda.
For measure 2, the aid element consists of the value of the land plus the costs for levelling the site, which is also acceptable.
Za ukrep 2 element pomoči sestoji iz vrednosti zemljišča in stroškov za izravnavo zemljišča, kar je tudi sprejemljivo.
As regards the funding from Finnvera and the Ministry of Trade and Industry, which is not subject to this Decision, if the funding were to be considered to involve state aid, the aid element would also have to be taken into account.
Za sredstva podjetja Finnvera in Ministrstva za trgovino in industrijo ta sklep ne velja, vendar bi bilo treba, če bi se obravnavala, kot da zajemajo državno pomoč, upoštevati tudi element pomoči.
Finland provided a calculation for the aid element involved in the Finnvera loan, which is considered credible.
Finska je zagotovila izračun za element pomoči v posojilu podjetja Finnvera, ki je verodostojen.
For the direct grants of the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the whole amount was taken into account.
Pri neposrednih dotacijah Ministrstva za trgovino in industrijo se je upošteval celoten znesek.
Overall, taking into account the aid element involved in the measures granted by the City of Mikkeli, Finnvera and the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the aid element (calculated as gross grant equivalent), is EUR 3617143 (see Table II).
Ob upoštevanju elementa pomoči v ukrepih, ki so jih odobrili mesto Mikkeli, podjetje Finnvera in Ministrstvo za trgovino in industrijo, skupni element pomoči (izračunan kot bruto ekvivalent dotacije) znaša 3617143 EUR (glej tabelo II).
The aid element of EUR 3617143 corresponds to an aid intensity of 13,95 % of the total eligible costs of EUR 25935928 The aid intensity is hence below the threshold of 24 %.
Element pomoči v vrednosti 3617143 EUR ustreza 13,95-odstotni intenzivnosti pomoči skupnih upravičenih stroškov v vrednosti 25935928 EUR. Intenzivnost pomoči je zato pod pragom 24 %.
Third, according to Point 4.10 of the RAG 1998, aid for initial investment must be conditional on maintaining the investment in question for a minimum period of five years.
V skladu s točko 4.10 smernic o regionalni pomoči 1998 je pomoč za začetne investicije pogojena z ohranitvijo investicije za najmanj pet let.
Finland confirmed that the investment in question was to be maintained for a minimum period of five years.
Finska je potrdila, da se bo zadevna naložba ohranjala najmanj pet let.
Fourth, according to Point 4.2 of the RAG 1998, the beneficiary's contribution to the investment's financing must be at least 25 %.
V skladu s točko 4.2 smernic o regionalni pomoči 1998 mora upravičenec k financiranju investicije prispevati vsaj 25 % finančnih sredstev.
Finland confirmed that this was the case.
Finska je potrdila, da je to veljalo tudi v zadevnem primeru.
Fifth, the Commission notes that, in line with Point 4.2 of the RAG 1998, the aid application has been submitted before work on the project was started and that the rules on cumulation of aid are respected, as foreseen in Point 4.18 of the RAG 1998, and that the regional aid ceiling was not exceeded.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je bila vloga za pomoč predložena pred začetkom dela na projektu v skladu s točko 4.2 smernic o regionalni pomoči in da se pravila o kumulaciji pomoči spoštujejo, kot predvideva točka 4.18 smernic o regionalni pomoči 1998, ter da prag regionalne pomoči ni bil presežen.
On the basis of the foregoing arguments, the Commission concludes that measures 1 and 2 met the conditions of the RAG 1998 and are therefore compatible.
Na podlagi navedenih utemeljitev je Komisija sklenila, da ukrepa 1 in 2 izpolnjujeta pogoje smernic o regionalni pomoči 1998 in sta zato združljiva.
In principle, the market economy investor principle is also applicable to the purchase of land or other assets by a State.
Običajno se načelo vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu uporablja tudi, ko zemljišča ali druga sredstva kupi država.
