should the Corsican regional authorities decide to launch a consultation on the awarding of a public service delegation contract effective from 1 January 2007 that did not substantially comply with the guidelines adopted by the Territorial Assembly of Corsica for the operation of routes between Marseille and Corsica from 1 January 2007 [9];should the delegation be awarded to a third party or to SNCM under significantly less favourable economic conditions.
v primeru odločitve ozemeljske skupnosti Korzike, da začne posvetovanje o podelitvi pogodbe o prenosu pooblastil javne službe z začetkom veljavnosti od 1. januarja 2007, kar v znatni meri ni skladno s smernicami, ki jih je sprejela ozemeljska skupščina Korzike o delovanju pomorskih linij med Marseillem in Korziko od 1. januarja 2007 [9];v primeru podelitve prenosa pooblastil tretji strani ali SNCM v bistveno slabših gospodarskih pogojih.
The transfer to the private sector was accompanied by a series of restructuring measures subject to a separate procedure regarding the law on State aid [10].
Ob prehodu v zasebni sektor je bil sprejet paket ukrepov za prestrukturiranje, ki je bil del ločenega postopka v skladu z zakonodajo o državni pomoči [10].
On 10 November 2008, Butler Capital Partners sold its shares to Veolia Transport.
Družba Butler Capital Partners je 10. novembra 2008 odstopila svoje delnice družbi Veolia Transport.
In 2011, Veolia Transport merged with Transdev to form Veolia Transdev [11], which then held a 66 % stake.
Leta 2011 se je Veolia Transport združila z družbo Transdev in postala Veolia Transdev [11], ki je takrat imela v lasti 66 % delnic.
On 30 March 2012, Veolia Environnement concluded an agreement with CDC under which it would take over the 66 % stake in SNCM previously held by the joint venture, for a sale price of EUR 1.
Veolia Environnement je 30. marca 2012 s CDC podpisala pogodbo, v skladu s katero je prevzela 66 % kapitala SNCM, ki ga je pred tem imelo v lasti skupno podjetje, in sicer po prodajni ceni 1 EUR.
SNCM currently operates a fleet of ten vessels, including six ferries [12] and four passenger cargo vessels, the Jean Nicoli [13], the Pascal Paoli, the Paglia Orba and the Monte d'Oro.
SNCM trenutno upravlja floto 10 plovil, med njimi šest trajektov [12] in štiri tovorno-potniške ladje, tj. Jean Nicoli, Pascal Paoli, Paglia Orba in Monte d'Oro [13].
CMN is a private shipping company founded in 1931, with its head office in Marseille, whose main activity is operating freight and passenger shipping services to Corsica and Sardinia.
CMN je zasebna družba s sedežem v Marseillu, ustanovljena leta 1931, katere glavna dejavnost je zagotavljanje pomorskih povezav s Korziko (tovorni in potniški promet) in s Sardinijo.
Before 2 October 2009, 53,1 % of CMN was owned by Compagnie Méridionale de Participations (CMP), 45 % by SNCM and 1,9 % by the employees.
Pred 2. oktobrom 2009 je bila CMN v 53,1-odstotni lasti družbe Compagnie Méridionale de Participations (CMP), v 45-odstotni lasti družbe SNCM in v 1,9-odstotni lasti zaposlenih.
CMP was itself 55 % owned by Société de travaux industriels et maritimes d’Orbigny (STIM d'Orbigny), a subsidiary of the STEF-TFE Group, and 45 % was held by Compagnie Générale de Tourisme et d'Hôtellerie (CGTH), a subsidiary owned 100 % by SNCM.
CMP je bila v 55-odstotni lasti Société de travaux industriels et maritimes d’Orbigny (STIM d'Orbigny), hčerinskega podjetja skupine STEF-TFE, in v 45-odstotni lasti Compagnie Générale de Tourisme et d'Hôtellerie (CGTH), hčerinskega podjetja v 100-odstotni lasti SNCM. Po tem datumu je delnice CMN, ki jih je imela SNCM v posredni in neposredni lasti, kupila skupina STEF.
Since that date, the stakes that SNCM held directly and indirectly in CMN were acquired by the STEF group, which now holds a 97,9 % stake in CMN, with the employees holding the remaining 2,1 %.
Skupina STEF ima zdaj v lasti 97,9 % kapitala CMN, medtem ko imajo zaposleni v lasti 2,1 % delnic.
CMN provides part of the services on the three routes between Corsica and Marseille (Marseille - Ajaccio, Marseille - Bastia and Marseille - Propriano) under the public service delegation contract (see section 2.5 below).
CMN opravlja del storitev na treh linijah med Korziko in Marseillem (Marseille-Ajaccio, Marseille–Bastia in Marseille–Propriano) v okviru pogodbe o PPJS (glej oddelek 2.5 spodaj).
In parallel, the company operates a route to Sardinia (Porto Torres) outside the public service delegation.
Obenem družba zagotavlja povezavo s Sardinijo (Porto Torres), ki ni vključena v prenos pooblastil javne službe.
To perform its business plan under the public service delegation, CMN has three passenger cargo vessels, the Girolata, the Piana (which replaced the Scandola) and the Kalliste.
Za izvajanje programa dejavnosti v okviru PPJS ima Méridionale na voljo tri tovorno-potniške ladje, tj. ladje Girolata, Piana (ki je nadomestila ladjo Scandola) in Kalliste.
THE PUBLIC SERVICE DELEGATION CONTRACT 2007-2013
POGODBA O PRENOSU POOBLASTIL JAVNE SLUŽBE 2007–2013
PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE UNDER THE PUBLIC SERVICE DELEGATION CONTRACT
POSTOPEK DODELITVE POGODBE O PPJS
Here, the Commission provides only a brief review of the procurement procedure under the public service delegation contract, which is described in extenso in the opening decision.
Komisija na tem mestu navaja le kratek povzetek postopka dodelitve pogodbe o PPJS, ki je izčrpno opisan v sklepu o začetku postopka.
On 24 March 2006, by Resolution No 06/22, the Corsican Assembly voted in principle to renew a public service delegation for maritime services to the ports of Bastia, Ajaccio, Balagne (Ile Rousse and Calvi), Porto Vecchio and Propriano from the port of Marseille by 1 January 2007.
Skupščina Korzike je 24. marca 2006 na zasedanju št. 06/22 odobrila načelo podaljšanja prenosa pooblastil javne službe za pomorske prevoze iz pristanišča v Marseillu do pristanišč Bastia, Ajaccio, Balagne (Ile-Rousse in Calvi), Porto-Vecchio in Propriano od 1. januarja 2007.
A notice of a competitive public tender was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) on 27 May 2006 and in the newspaper Les Echos on 9 June 2006.
Obvestilo o javnem razpisu za zbiranje ponudb je bilo objavljeno v Uradnem listu Evropske unije (UL) 27. maja 2006 in v časopisu Les Echos9. junija 2006.
Four bids were submitted [14].
Predložene so bile štiri ponudbe [14].
Following the decision of 11 December 2006 by the Competition Council [15] and the judgment of 15 December 2006 by the Council of State [16], the procedure to award the public service delegation was cancelled in its entirety to ensure compliance with obligations concerning competitive procedures.
Po sprejetju sklepa Sveta za konkurenco z dne 11. decembra 2006 [15] in sodbe državnega sveta (Conseil d'Etat) z dne 15. decembra 2006 [16] je bil postopek dodelitve prenosa pooblastil javne službe v celoti razveljavljen zaradi zagotavljanja spoštovanja obveznosti postopka javnega razpisa.
By Resolution No 06/263 AC of 22 December 2006, the Corsican Assembly decided to repeat the procedure for awarding a public service delegation and to extend the existing delegation until 30 April 2007.
Skupščina Korzike se je na zasedanju št. 06/263 AC z dne 22. decembra 2006 odločila, da bo ponovila postopek dodelitve prenosa pooblastil javne službe in podaljšala veljavni prenos pooblastil do 30. aprila 2007.
A new invitation to tender was then published on 30 December 2006 in the OJEU and on 4 January 2007 in Les Echos and on 5 January 2007 in the Journal de la Marine Marchande.
Novo obvestilo o javnem razpisu za zbiranje ponudb je bilo nato objavljeno 30. decembra 2006 v Uradnem listu EU, 4. januarja 2007 v Les Échos in 5. januarja 2007 v časopisu Marine Marchande.
Two candidates submitted bids - the SNCM and CMN group [17] on the one hand, and Corsica Ferries [18] on the other.
Ponudbi sta vložila dva ponudnika, tj. skupina SNCM in CMN [17] na eni strani ter Corsica Ferries [18] na drugi strani.
The economic parameters proposed by the SNCM/CMN group in its overall bid were presented in the opening decision [19].
Ekonomski kazalniki poslovanja, ki jih je v svoji skupni ponudbi predlagala skupina SNCM-CMN, so bili predstavljeni v sklepu o začetku postopka [19].
On 28 March 2007, the SNCM/CMN group sent the Corsican Transport Board an amended version of its bid, which essentially concerned a significant reduction of the subsidy requested in exchange for the overall bid.
Skupina SNCM-CMN je 28. marca 2007 uradu OTC predložila spremenjeno različico svoje ponudbe, s katero je bilo uvedeno zlasti občutno znižanje subvencije, zahtevane za skupno ponudbo.
This led to changes in estimated traffic levels, the market value of certain vessels of the group, the date of chartering new ships, and the level of cost savings between the overall bid and the bids tendered on a line-by-line basis.
Uvedena je bila sprememba glede napovedane ravni prometa, tržne vrednosti nekaterih ladij skupine, datuma zakupa novih plovil in tudi stopnje prihrankov pri stroških med skupno ponudbo ter ponudbo po posameznih linijah.
After the Corsican Assembly postponed the date of entry into force of the new delegation to 1 July 2007 and another negotiation procedure took place, the Corsican Transport Board proposed rejecting the bid from Corsica Ferries [20].
Po odlogu datuma začetka veljavnosti novega prenosa pooblastil na 1. julij 2007, ki ga je izvedla skupščina Korzike, in po novem krogu pogajanj je OTC predlagal zavrnitev ponudbe družbe Corsica Ferries [20].
By Resolution No 07/108 dated 7 June 2007, the Corsican Assembly awarded the SNCM/CMN group the public service delegation for the ferry service between the port of Marseille and the Corsican ports and, by a Decision of the same day, the President of the Executive Council of Corsica was authorised to sign the public service delegation contract (‘the two decisions of 7 June 2007’).
Skupščina Korzike je na zasedanju št.o07/108 z dne 7. junija 2007 skupini, ki jo sestavljata SNCM in CMN, dodelila prenos pooblastil javne službe za opravljanje pomorskih povezav med pristaniščem v Marseillu in pristanišči na Korziki ter s sklepom z istega dne pooblastila predsednika izvršnega sveta korziške skupnosti za podpis pogodbe o PPJS (v nadaljnjem besedilu: sklepa z dne 7. junija 2007).
CALLING INTO QUESTION THE VALIDITY OF THE TWO DECISIONS OF 7 JUNE 2007
IZPODBIJANJE VELJAVNOSTI SKLEPOV Z DNE 7. JUNIJA 2007
In its judgment, the Administrative Court of Appeal cited a violation of Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92 on maritime cabotage [21] (‘the Cabotage Regulation’) and characterised the public service delegation contract as illegal state aid.
V skladu s svojo sodbo je prizivno upravno sodišče potrdilo kršitev Uredbe št. 3577/92 o pomorski kabotaži [21] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: uredba o kabotaži) ter da pogodba o PPJS vsebuje elemente nezakonite državne pomoči.
The judgment on this matter stated that the provisions of the first paragraph of Article 7 of the public service delegation contract make it incompatible with the third Altmark criterion [22].
V tej sodbi je v zvezi s tem navedeno, da pogodba o PPJS v prvi točki člena 7 ni skladna s tretjim merilom sodne prakse v zadevi Altmark [22].
The Court therefore ordered the Corsican regional authorities to rescind amicably the public service delegation contract before 1 September 2012 [23].
Posledično je sodišče ozemeljski skupnosti Korzike naložilo sporazumno prekinitev pogodbe o PPJS pred 1. septembrom 2012 [23].
On appeal by SNCM and CMN [24], the Council of State annulled the 7 November 2011 judgment handed down by the Administrative Court of Appeal on 13 July 2012, and referred the case back to the Administrative Court of Appeal of Marseille.
Po pritožbi družb SNCM in CMN je državni svet 13. julija 2012 razveljavil sodbo prizivnega upravnega sodišča z dne 7. novembra 2011 [24] in vrnil zadevo v odločanje prizivnemu upravnemu sodišču v Marseillu.
REMINDER OF THE MAIN PROVISIONS OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE DELEGATION CONTRACT
POVZETEK GLAVNIH DOLOČB POGODBE O PPJS
the permanent ‘passenger and freight’ service [25] which the SNCM-CMN group must provide throughout the year (‘the basic service’) and
stalno storitvijo „prevoza potnikov in tovora“ [25], ki mora skupina SNCM-CMN zagotavljati vse leto (v nadaljnjem besedilu: osnovna storitev) in
the additional passenger service [26] to be provided during peak periods, for approximately 37 weeks, on the Marseille - Ajaccio and Marseille - Bastia routes and during the period from 1 May to 30 September on the Marseille - Propriano route (‘the additional service’).
dodatno storitvijo prevoza potnikov [26] ob prometnih konicah, ki jih je treba zagotavljati približno 37 tednov na leto na linijah Marseille–Ajaccio in Marseille–Bastia ter od 1. maja do 30. septembra na liniji Marseille–Propriano (v nadaljnjem besedilu: dodatna storitev).
Article 2 of the public service delegation contract sets out the reference financial compensation to which concession holders commit for the duration of the concession.
Člen 2 pogodbe o PPJS določa referenčna finančna nadomestila, ki jih sprejemajo pooblaščeni izvajalci v času trajanja pogodbe.
The amounts of this reference financial compensation are summarised in Table 4 of the opening decision.
Zneski teh referenčnih finančnih nadomestil so zbrani v tabeli št. 4 sklepa o začetku postopka.
Article 3 of the public service delegation contract states that the public service delegation does not confer exclusive use of the routes in question, but allows other companies to operate regular services without financial compensation.
Člen 3 pogodbe o PPJS določa, da PPJS ne pomeni izključnega zagotavljanja storitev na zadevnih linijah, ampak drugim družbam daje možnost izvajanja redne storitve brez finančnega nadomestila.
Nevertheless, potential entrants are to be subject to obligations, as set out in the opening decision [27].
Kljub temu za morebitnega novega ponudnika veljajo obveznosti, navedene v sklepu o začetku postopka [27].
In addition, Article 3 states that the requests for financial compensation from concession holders were determined according to the social assistance scheme [28].
Poleg tega člen 3 določa, da so zahtevki za finančno nadomestilo pooblaščenih izvajalcev določeni v skladu mehanizmom socialne podpore [28].
According to the third paragraph of Article 5(2) of the public service delegation contract, the final financial compensation for each concession holder for each year is limited to the operating deficit resulting from its contractual obligations, allowing for a 15 % return on the conventional value of the fleet in proportion to the days it has been effectively used for the crossings corresponding to those obligations.
V skladu s tretjim pododstavkom člena 5(2) pogodbe o PPJS je končno letno finančno nadomestilo vsakega od pooblaščenih izvajalcev za vsako leto omejeno na primanjkljaj iz poslovanja, nastal zaradi izpolnjevanja pogodbenih obveznosti ob upoštevanju 15-odstotnega donosa pogodbene vrednosti flote glede na število dni njihove dejanske uporabe za prevoze v skladu s temi obveznostmi.
The conventional value is specified in Annex III of the public service delegation contract [29].
Pogodbena vrednost je določena v Prilogi III k pogodbi o PPJS [29].
Article 7 of the public service delegation contract (the ‘safeguard clause’) makes it possible to change the annual lump sum financial compensation payable to joint concession holders, in accordance with their commitments, set for the duration of the public service delegation contract under Article 2 thereof.
Člen 7 pogodbe o PPJS (v nadaljnjem besedilu: zaščitna klavzula) omogoča spreminjanje pavšalnih letnih zneskov finančnih nadomestil, izplačanih pooblaščenim soizvajalcem v skladu z njihovimi obveznostmi iz člena 2 v času trajanja pogodbe o PPJS.
Article 7(1) states that, in the event of a substantial change in the technical, regulatory or economic conditions of the contract, the parties shall meet to take steps to re-establish the initial financial equilibrium ‘with priority given to the maximum fares and the adaptation of the services’.
Člen 7(1) določa, da se v primeru večjih sprememb tehničnih, regulativnih ali ekonomskih pogojev pogodbe pogodbenice sestanejo, da bi sprejele ukrepe za ponovno vzpostavitev začetnega finančnega ravnovesja, „pri čemer imajo prednost najvišje tarife in prilagoditev storitev“.
Article 7(2) of the public service delegation contract states that the amounts of financial compensation are based on forecast passenger traffic and revenues.
Člen 7(2) pogodbe o PPJS določa, da je višina finančnega nadomestila določena v skladu z napovedmi prihodkov iz potniškega in tovornega prometa.
Each year, on the assumption that the absolute value of the difference between forecast revenue [30] and actual revenue is greater than 2 % of forecast revenue [31], an upward or downward adjustment of the financial compensation is provided for each category of revenue, and for each concession holder [32].
Kadar je absolutna razlika med predvidenimi prihodki [30] in dejanskimi prihodki višja od 2 % [31], se finančno nadomestilo vsako leto prilagodi navzgor ali navzdol, in sicer za vse vrste prihodkov in za vsakega pooblaščenega izvajalca [32].
The public service delegation contract states [33] that adjustments in compensation under this clause should be capped by agreement between the parties in the course of the third year of the delegation.
V pogodbi o PPJS [33] je določeno, da mora biti najvišja meja prilagoditev nadomestil v skladu s to klavzulo določena na podlagi dogovora med pogodbenicami v tretjem letu izvajanja pogodbe.
The forecast revenue for both types of traffic and both concession holders are summarised in Table 5 of the opening decision.
Predvideni prihodki za obe vrsti prevoza in oba pooblaščena izvajalca so zbrani v tabeli št. 5 sklepa o začetku postopka.
The number of seats available thus decreased from 9000 to 8000 during the Christmas holidays, from 3500 to 2300 during the ‘spring-autumn’ period and from 85000 to 71000 in the ‘summer’ period on the Marseille - Ajaccio route.
Število zagotovljenih mest na liniji Marseille–Ajaccio se je tako zmanjšalo z 9000 na 8000 med božičnimi prazniki, s 3500 na 2300 v pomladnem in jesenskem obdobju in s 85000 na 71000 v poletnem obdobju.
The capacity of the additional service decreased by 7000 seats on the Marseille - Propriano route.
Zmogljivost dodatnih storitev se je na liniji Marseille–Propriano zmanjšala za 7000 mest.
The Corsican Transport Board also redefined traffic periods into a high season (an 11-week summer period between the last week of June and early September) and the mid-season period (22 weeks from April to June and from early September to late October, excluding spring and November school half-term holidays).
OTC je na novo določil tudi prevozna obdobja z ločevanjem med obdobjem glavne sezone – 11-tedensko obdobje v letu, in sicer od zadnjega tedna junija do začetka septembra – ter obdobjem predsezone in posezone – 22-tedensko obdobje od aprila do junija in od začetka septembra do konca oktobra, razen v času spomladanskih in jesenskih šolskih počitnic.
The fares and financial compensation were also changed.
Spremenile so se tudi tarife in finančno nadomestilo.
Under the public service delegation contract [34], 95 % of the forecast amount of indexed compensation is paid in monthly instalments within 7 days of the operator sending a brief report on service implementation.
V skladu s pogodbo o PPJS [34] se 95 % predvidenih indeksiranih zneskov nadomestila izplača v mesečnih obrokih v 7 dneh po predložitvi kratkega poročila o opravljanju storitev.
The remaining compensation, which is adjusted upwards or downwards, is paid annually within 15 days of the operator sending the final report on service implementation.
Preostali del nadomestil, zvišan ali znižan zaradi prilagoditev, se izplača letno v 15 dneh po predložitvi končnega poročila o opravljanju storitev.
Total forecast compensation was EUR 659 million in 2007. Taking into account the indexation clause (inflation) and the adjustment clause (difference between actual and forecast revenues, changes in fuel prices, penalties), the amount of compensation actually paid up until 2011 is as follows:
Skupni znesek predvidenih nadomestil v letu 2007 je znašal 659 milijonov EUR. Ob upoštevanju klavzul o indeksiranju (inflacija) in prilagoditvi (razlika med dejanskimi in predvidenimi prihodki, razvoj cen goriva, kazni) je znesek dejansko izplačanih nadomestil do leta 2011 naslednji:
Total SNCM
SNCM skupaj
of which basic
od tega osnovne
of which additional
od tega dodatne
The compensation paid to SNCM, established comprehensively by Article 2 of the public service delegation contract, is divided between the basic service (operated by passenger cargo vessels) and the additional service (operated by passenger ferries) according to a set of allocation rules that essentially provide for a proportional distribution of the - negative - result [35] before financial compensation for each type of service, as set out in the income statement in the bid tendered by the SNCM-CMN group [36].
Nadomestila, izplačana družbi SNCM, ki so splošno določena v členu 2 pogodbe o PPJS, so razdeljena med osnovne storitve (ki jih izvajajo tovorno-potniške ladje) in dodatne storitve (ki jih izvajajo potniške ladje) v skladu s sklopom pravil za dodeljevanje, ki določajo zlasti porazdelitev glede na poslovni izid, ki je negativen [35], pred finančnim nadomestilom za vsako vrsto storitev, kot je določena v izkazih poslovnega izida ponudbe skupine SNCM-CMN [36].
REASONS FOR INITIATING THE FORMAL EXAMINATION PROCEDURE
RAZLOGI ZA ZAČETEK FORMALNEGA POSTOPKA PREISKAVE
First of all, the Commission expressed doubts about the necessity and proportionality of the public service obligation imposed, particularly since it encompasses both the basic and the additional services.
Prvič, Komisija dvomi o potrebnosti in sorazmernosti naložene obveznosti javne službe, zlasti v kolikor hkrati zajema osnovne in dodatne storitve.
The Commission found that the inclusion of the additional service in the public service delegation could constitute a violation of the provisions of Regulation No 3577/92, cited above, leading to a breach of the first Altmark criterion (clearly defined public service obligations).
Komisija je ocenila, da bi lahko vključitev dodatne storitve v PPJS povzročila kršitev določb Uredbe št. 3577/92, kar bi vodilo do nespoštovanja prvega merila iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark (jasno določene obveznosti javne službe).
Indeed, the Commission considered that the French authorities had not shown that there was a real public service need in the case of the additional service and that it did not seem essential to the proper performance of the basic service.
Komisija je dejansko potrdila, da francoski organi niso izrazili dejanske potrebe po dodatnih storitvah v okviru gospodarske javne službe in da te niso bile nujno potrebne za dobro opravljanje osnovnih storitev.
Second, the Commission expressed doubts about the parameters of public service compensation under Article 7 of the public service delegation contract (see paragraphs 86-94 of the opening decision) and their compliance with the second Altmark criterion (parameters on which the compensation is calculated established beforehand).
Drugič, Komisija je dvomila v merila za določanje nadomestila za izvajanje gospodarske javne službe iz člena 7 pogodbe o prenosu pooblastil javne službe (glej uvodne izjave od 86 do 94 sklepa o začetku postopka) in njihovo skladnost z drugim merilom iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark (predhodno določena merila za določanje višine nadomestila).
In addition, the Commission considered initially that variations in the amounts of the forecast revenues between the different tenders submitted by the concession holders may have had the effect of depriving the parameters of the compensation mechanism of transparency.
Poleg tega je Komisija predhodno menila, da bi lahko merila mehanizma nadomestil postala nepregledna zaradi razlik v prihodkih, napovedanih v različnih ponudbah pooblaščenih izvajalcev.
