The Guidelines on national regional aid applicable at the time of application of the preferential tariff, i.e. in January 2007 (‘the 2006 Regional aid guidelines’ [9]) set out the conditions for the approval of regional investment aid.
Smernice o državni regionalni pomoči, ki so veljale v času uporabe ugodnejše cene, tj. januarja 2007 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Smernice o regionalni pomoči iz leta 2006 [9]), določajo pogoje za odobritev regionalne pomoči za naložbe.
The 2006 Regional aid guidelines define operating aid as aid aimed at reducing a firm’s current expenses.
Smernice o regionalni pomoči iz leta 2006 pomoč za tekoče poslovanje opredeljujejo kot pomoč, namenjeno zmanjšanju tekočih stroškov podjetja.
In accordance with the Guidelines, operating aid may be granted in regions eligible under the derogation in Article 107(3)(a) provided that (i) it is justified in terms of its contribution to regional development and its nature and (ii) its level is proportional to the handicaps it seeks to alleviate, and it is for the Member State to demonstrate the existence and importance of any handicaps (paragraph 76).
V skladu s Smernicami se lahko pomoč za tekoče poslovanje dodeli v regijah, ki so upravičene na podlagi izjeme iz člena 107(3)(a), pod pogojem, da (i) je upravičena zaradi svojega prispevka k regionalnemu razvoju in zaradi svoje narave ter (ii) da je njena višina sorazmerna razvojnim problemom, ki jih želi ublažiti. Država članica mora sama dokazati obstoj in pomembnost kakršnih koli problemov (uvodna izjava 76).
The Commission notes that current expenses are non-capital but usually recurrent expenditures necessary for the operation of a business.
Komisija ugotavlja, da so tekoči stroški neinvesticijski in običajno periodični izdatki, potrebni za opravljanje neke dejavnosti.
In this sense, the preferential electricity tariff applied to AoG reduced its current expenses.
V tem smislu je ugodnejša cena električne energije, ki se je uporabljala za družbo AoG, zmanjšala njene tekoče stroške.
Also, the Greek authorities did not provide any kind of measurement or calculation of the handicaps of the region and of the level of the aid, in order to demonstrate that the latter is proportional to the former.
Grški organi prav tako niso predložili nobenih meritev ali izračunov razvojnih problemov regije in stopnje pomoči, s čimer bi dokazali, da je pomoč sorazmerna s problemi.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concludes that the aid can not be declared compatible on the basis of the 2006 Regional aid guidelines.
Na podlagi navedenega je Komisija sklenila, da pomoči ni mogoče razglasiti za združljivo na podlagi Smernic o regionalni pomoči iz leta 2006.
As regards compatibility under the general block exemption Regulation, declaring certain categories of aid compatible with the common market in application of Articles 107 and 108 TFEU [10], the Commission considers that on the basis of the financial figures submitted by the Greek authorities, AoG is a large enterprise, as demonstrated in paragraph (7) above.
Glede združljivosti pomoči na podlagi Uredbe o splošnih skupinskih izjemah o razglasitvi nekaterih vrst pomoči za združljive s skupnim trgom z uporabo členov 107 in 108 PDEU [10], Komisija meni, da je, kot je prikazano v uvodni izjavi 7, na podlagi finančnih številk, ki so jih predložili grški organi, družba AoG veliko podjetje.
According to the general block exemption Regulation, Article 1(5), ad hoc aid to large companies is excluded from the scope of its application.
V skladu s členom 1(5) Uredbe o splošnih skupinskih izjemah je ad hoc pomoč velikim podjetjem izključena iz področja uporabe Uredbe.
Also according to the general block exemption Regulation, Article 8(3), in case that any aid covered by it is granted to a large enterprise, the Member State should confirm the material incentive effect of the aid, on the basis of a document that analyses the viability of the aided project or activity, with and without aid.
Prav tako mora država članica v skladu s členom 8(3) Uredbe o splošnih skupinskih izjemah v primeru, če je pomoč, zajeta v Uredbi, dodeljena velikemu podjetju, potrditi bistveni spodbujevalni učinek pomoči z dokumentom, v katerem so analizirane možnosti izvedbe projekta ali dejavnosti upravičenca s pomočjo in brez nje.
The Commission has not been provided with such evidence.
Komisija takih dokazov ni prejela.
In conclusion, the aid granted to AoG is not compatible under the general block exemption Regulation.
Pomoč, dodeljena družbi AoG, ni združljiva z notranjim trgom na podlagi Uredbe o splošnih skupinskih izjemah.
Article 107(3)(c) TFEU states that ‘aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest’ may be declared compatible with the internal market.
Člen 107(3)(c) PDEU navaja, da se lahko „pomoč za pospeševanje 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“ razglasi za združljivo z notranjim trgom.
The Commission considers that the derogation under Article 107(3)(c) does not apply in the case at hand.
Komisija meni, da izjema iz člena 107(3)(c) v zadevnem primeru ne velja.
Indeed, regarding the development of certain economic areas, AoG is located in an assisted area under Article 107(3)(a) and not under 107(3)(c) [11].
Dejansko se družba AoG, kar zadeva razvoj določenih gospodarskih območij, nahaja na območju, upravičenem do pomoči na podlagi člena 107(3)(a) in ne člena 107(3)(c) [11].
Regarding the development of certain economic activities, the Commission observes that the sector of aluminium production is not subject to specific State aid rules that could be applied to the beneficiary.
Glede razvoja določenih gospodarskih dejavnosti Komisija ugotavlja, da za sektor proizvodnje aluminija ne veljajo posebna pravila o državni pomoči, ki bi lahko veljala za upravičenko.
The other State aid rules adopted on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) are manifestly not applicable.
Druga pravila o državni pomoči na podlagi člena 107(3)(c) se očitno ne uporabljajo.
In particular, AoG is not eligible for rescue and/or restructuring aid.
Družba AoG zlasti ni upravičena do pomoči za reševanje in/ali prestrukturiranje.
Indeed, AoG was not a firm in difficulty at the time of the aid, as it did not fulfil any of the criteria of points 9-11 of the 1999 Community Guidelines on State aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty, applicable at the time of the preferential tariff application [12].
Dejansko družba AoG v času izvajanja pomoči ni bila podjetje v težavah, prav tako pa ni izpolnila nobenega od meril iz točk 9–11 Smernic Skupnosti o državni pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah iz leta 1999, ki so veljala v času uporabe ugodnejše cene [12].
Also, restructuring aid is conditional on the existence of a sound restructuring plan.
Poleg tega je pomoč za prestrukturiranje pogojena z obstojem zdravega načrta za prestrukturiranje.
Greece did not provide such a restructuring plan.
Grčija takega načrta za prestrukturiranje ni predložila.
In conclusion, the aid granted to AoG is not compatible under the rescue and/or restructuring aid rules.
Pomoč, dodeljena družbi AoG, ni združljiva na podlagi pravil o pomoči za reševanje in/ali prestrukturiranje.
Conclusion on compatibility
Sklepne ugotovitve o združljivosti
In the view of the above, the Commission concludes that the aid measure in question is incompatible with TFEU.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega je Komisija sklenila, da zadevni ukrep pomoči ni združljiv s PDEU.
In particular, the Commission considers that the difference between (a) the revenues of PPC from the standard tariff that should have been applied to AoG in period January 2007-March 2008 and (b) the revenues of PPC from the tariff that was actually applied to AoG in the same period is incompatible aid in favour of AoG.
Komisija zlasti meni, da razlika med (a) prihodki podjetja PPC od standardne cene, ki bi se morala uporabljati za družbo AoG v obdobju med januarjem 2007 in marcem 2008, ter (b) prihodki, ki jih je imelo podjetje PPC od cene, ki se je za družbo AoG v tem obdobju dejansko uporabljala, pomeni nezdružljivo pomoč v korist družbe AoG.
On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission concludes that measure 1 is State aid and is incompatible with the internal market.
Na podlagi navedenega je Komisija sklenila, da ukrep 1 pomeni državno pomoč in je nezdružljiv z notranjim trgom.
The Commission has also come to the conclusion that the extension of the national gas grid does not constitute State aid.
Komisija je tudi sklenila, da razširitev nacionalnega plinskega omrežja ne pomeni državne pomoči.
Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 [13] lays down that ‘where negative decisions are taken in respect of unlawful aid, the Commission shall decide that the Member State concerned shall take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary’.
Člen 14 Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 [13] določa, da „če se v primerih nezakonite pomoči sprejmejo negativne odločbe, Komisija odloči, da mora zadevna država članica sprejeti vse potrebne ukrepe, da upravičenec vrne pomoč“.
Thus, given that the measure at hand is to be considered as unlawful and incompatible aid, the amount of aid must be recovered in order to re-establish the situation that existed on the market prior to the granting of the aid.
Ker se zadevni ukrep obravnava kot nezakonita in nezdružljiva pomoč, je treba znesek pomoči vrniti, da se ponovno vzpostavijo razmere na trgu, kakršne so bile pred dodelitvijo pomoči.
Recovery shall be hence affected from the time when the advantage occurred to the beneficiary, i.e. when the aid was put at the disposal of the beneficiary and shall bear recovery interest until effective recovery.
Za začetek izterjave se šteje čas, ko je bila upravičencu dana prednost, tj. ko je bila pomoč dana upravičencu na voljo, vključevati pa mora tudi obresti na terjatev do trenutka dejanske izterjave.
The incompatible aid element of the measure is calculated as the difference between (a) the revenues of PPC from the standard tariff that should have been applied to AoG in period January 2007-March 2008 and (b) the revenues of PPC from the tariff that was actually applied to AoG in the same period is incompatible aid in favour of AoG.
Nezdružljivi element pomoči ukrepa je razlika med (a) prihodki podjetja PPC od standardne cene, ki bi se morala uporabljati za družbo AoG v obdobju med januarjem 2007 in marcem 2008, ter (b) prihodki, ki jih je imelo podjetje PPC od cene, ki se je za družbo AoG v tem obdobju dejansko uporabljala.
The amount of aid thus granted to AOG in this period is EUR 17,4 million,
Znesek pomoči, ki je bil v tem obdobju tako dodeljen družbi AoG, znaša 17,4 milijona EUR –
The State aid amounting to EUR 17,4 million unlawfully granted by Greece in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, in favour of Aluminium of Greece SA and its successor Aluminium SA, by way of a preferential electricity tariff, is incompatible with the internal market.
Državna pomoč v višini 17,4 milijona EUR, ki jo je Grčija nezakonito dodelila družbi Aluminium of Greece SA in njeni naslednici Aluminium SA in ki krši člen 108(3) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije zaradi ugodnejše cene električne energije, je nezdružljiva z notranjim trgom.
The extension of the national gas grid does not constitute aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Razširitev nacionalnega plinskega omrežja ne pomeni pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
Greece shall recover the aid referred to in Article 1, paragraph 1, from the beneficiary.
Grčija od upravičenke izterja pomoč iz člena 1(1).
The interest shall be calculated on a compound basis in accordance with Chapter V of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 [14] and to Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2008 [15] amending Regulation (EC) No 794/2004.
Obresti se izračunajo na podlagi obrestnoobrestnega računa v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 [14] in Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 271/2008 [15] o spremembi Uredbe (ES) št. 794/2004.
Greece shall cancel all outstanding payments of the aid referred to in Article 1, paragraph 1, with effect from the date of adoption of this decision.
Grčija prekliče vsa neizvedena plačila pomoči, navedene v členu 1(1), z začetkom veljavnosti na datum sprejetja tega sklepa.
Recovery of the aid referred to in Article 1, paragraph 1, shall be immediate and effective.
Pomoč iz člena 1(1) mora biti povrnjena takoj in učinkovito.
Greece shall ensure that this decision is implemented within four months following the date of notification of this Decision.
Grčija zagotovi, da se ta sklep izvede v štirih mesecih po uradnem obvestilu o tem sklepu.
Within two months following notification of this Decision, Greece shall submit the following information to the Commission:
Grčija v dveh mesecih po uradnem obvestilu o tem sklepu Komisiji predloži naslednje podatke:
the total amount (principal and recovery interests) to be recovered from the beneficiary;
skupni znesek (glavnica in obresti na terjatev), ki se izterja od upravičenke;
documents demonstrating that the beneficiary has been ordered to repay the aid.
dokumente, ki dokazujejo, da se je od upravičenke zahtevalo vračilo pomoči.
Greece shall keep the Commission informed of the progress of the national measures taken to implement this Decision until recovery of the aid referred to in Article 1, paragraph 1, has been completed.
Grčija obvešča Komisijo o napredku glede sprejetih nacionalnih ukrepov za izvajanje tega sklepa, dokler se vračanje pomoči iz člena 1(1) ne konča.
It shall immediately submit, on simple request by the Commission, information on the measures already taken and planned to comply with this Decision.
Na zahtevo Komisije takoj predloži informacije o že sprejetih ali načrtovanih ukrepih za delovanje v skladu s tem sklepom.

At that time, the transmission system operator was the ‘Public Gas Corporation’ (hereinafter PGC), a 65 % State owned and controlled company.
Takrat je s prenosnim omrežjem upravljala družba „Public Gas Corporation“ (v nadaljnjem besedilu: družba PGC), ki je bila v 65-odstotni lasti države.
The national gas transmission system (including the connection to AoG) was later transferred to the ‘National Gas System Operator’ (hereinafter NGSO), established on 30 March 2007 as a 100 % subsidiary of PGC.
Nacionalno prenosno plinsko omrežje (vključno s povezavo z družbo AoG) je bilo nato preneseno na družbo „National Gas System Operator“ (v nadaljnjem besedilu: družba NGSO), ki jo je družba PGC ustanovila 30. marca 2007 kot podružnico v svoji 100-odstotni lasti.

In addition, regional operating aid is not allowed under Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Poleg tega regionalna pomoč za tekoče poslovanje na podlagi člena 107(3)(c) PDEU ni dovoljena.
The Commission received comments from two interested parties: from AoG on 12 May 2010 and 4 May 2011 and from Public Power Corporation (hereinafter: PPC), the State owned company which applied one of the alleged measures (privileged electricity tariff), on 17 May 2010.
Pripombe sta predložili dve zainteresirani strani: družba AoG dne 12. maja 2010 in dne 4. maja 2011 ter podjetje Public Power Corporation (v nadaljnjem besedilu: podjetje PPC), podjetje v državni lasti, ki je izvajalo enega od domnevnih ukrepov (ugodnejša cena električne energije), dne 17. maja 2010. Komisija je pripombe poslala Grčiji, ki je imela možnost, da nanje odgovori.
The comments were transmitted to Greece which was given the opportunity to react; its comments were received on 16 July 2010, 6 August 2010 and 16 May 2011.
Grčija je svoje pripombe predložila dne 16. julija 2010, 6. avgusta 2010 in 16. maja 2011.
The practical consequence of the court decisions was that the preferential rate was again applied to AoG from January 2007 to March 2008.
Praktična posledica sodne odločbe je bila, da je družba AoG od januarja 2007 do marca 2008 ponovno plačevala ugodnejšo ceno.
In this period, according to data provided by the Greek authorities, AoG paid EUR 17,4 million less than it would have paid under the ‘standard’ tariff for large industrial consumers.
V skladu s podatki, ki so jih predložili grški organi, je družba AoG v tem obdobju plačala 17,4 milijona EUR manj, kot bi plačala po „standardni“ ceni za velike industrijske odjemalce.
The Commission notes, according to the submissions of the Greek authorities, that the investment in question brings NGSO an annual revenue in tariffs of EUR 11,6 million. The Commission has compared this amount to the investment cost (one-off investment) and the operating costs (on a yearly basis) of the pipeline, in order to verify if the investment is in conformity with the Market Economy Investor Principle, i.e. if it generates an adequate return to the investor.
V skladu z navedbami grških organov Komisija ugotavlja, da ima družba NGSO od zadevne naložbe letni prihodek od uporabniških pristojbin v višini 11,6 milijona EUR. Komisija je ta znesek primerjala s stroški naložbe (enkratna naložba) in stroški obratovanja (na letni osnovi) plinovoda, da bi preverila, ali je naložba v skladu z načelom vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu, tj. ali za vlagatelja ustvarja ustrezen donos.
Thus, it constitutes operating aid, which was not allowed by the 2006 Regional aid guidelines.
Zato pomeni pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, ki v skladu s Smernicami o regionalni pomoči iz leta 2006 ni bila dovoljena.
The Greek authorities did not produce any evidence to demonstrate that the reduction of the electricity tariff was justified in terms of its contribution to regional development, or its nature, nor have they shown that it was proportionate to any handicaps that it would have sought to alleviate.
Grški organi niso predložili nobenih dokazov, s katerimi bi dokazali, da je bilo znižanje cene električne energije upravičeno zaradi njegovega prispevka k regionalnemu razvoju in zaradi svoje narave, prav tako pa niso dokazali, da je bilo znižanje sorazmerno razvojnim problemom, ki bi jih želelo ublažiti.

Official field inspections of the crop are a condition for the certification of basic seed and bred seed of generations prior to basic seed.
Uradni poljski pregledi poljščin so pogoj za potrjevanje osnovnega semena in žlahtniteljevega semena generacij pred osnovnim semenom.
As regards certified seed, however, the possibility has been introduced some time ago, to choose between official field inspections and field inspections under official supervision.
Vendar je bila glede certificiranega semena pred časom uvedena možnost izbire med uradnimi poljskimi pregledi in poljskimi pregledi pod uradnim nadzorom.
Providing for the possibility to choose between official field inspections and field inspections under official supervision may also constitute an improved alternative to requiring official field inspection as far as basic seed and bred seed of generations prior to basic seed are concerned.
Možnost izbire med uradnimi poljskimi pregledi in poljskimi pregledi pod uradnim nadzorom je lahko tudi boljša alternativa zahtevanemu uradnemu poljskemu pregledu, kar zadeva osnovno seme in žlahtniteljevo seme generacij pred osnovnim semenom.
A temporary experiment should therefore be organised to assess this alternative.
Za oceno te alternative bi bilo treba zato organizirati začasni poskus.
Taking into account the experience gained, as regards certified seed, with field inspections under official supervision, it is appropriate to carry out the experiment applying the same provisions as apply to certified seed in order to assess whether those provisions are suitable for basic seed and bred seed of generations prior to basic seed.
Ob upoštevanju izkušenj, pridobljenih glede certificiranega semena s poljskimi pregledi pod uradnim nadzorom, je primerno, da se opravi poskus z uporabo istih določb, kot veljajo za certificirano seme, da se oceni, ali so navedene določbe primerne za osnovno seme in žlahtniteljevo seme generacij pred osnovnim semenom.
It is necessary to release Member States participating in the experiment from the obligations with respect to official field inspections provided for in Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC, 2002/54/EC, 2002/55/EC and 2002/57/EC.
Potrebno je, da so države članice, ki sodelujejo v poskusu, oproščene obveznosti v zvezi z uradnimi poljskimi pregledi iz direktiv 66/401/EGS, 66/402/EGS, 2002/54/ES, 2002/55/ES in 2002/57/ES.
