The Commission notes that the company stopped operations already in 2009 and did not even publish financial statements since then (see recital 15).
Komisija ugotavlja, da je podjetje prenehalo z delovanjem leta 2009 in da od takrat naprej tudi ni objavljalo računovodskih izkazov (glej uvodno izjavo 15).
The guarantee was not sufficient to obtain any fresh funding and the undertaking did not resume its activities while it was valid.
Poroštvo ni bilo zadostno za zavarovanje morebitnega svežega financiranja in podjetje ni ponovno začelo delovati, ko je bilo poroštvo na voljo.
Under these circumstances, the Commission considers that the guarantee did not distort or threaten to distort competition.
V teh okoliščinah Komisija meni, da poroštvo ni izkrivljalo in ne bi moglo izkrivljati konkurence.
Therefore, it does not constitute State aid.
Zato ne pomeni državne pomoči.
V(c) Compatibility of the aid measures with the Internal Market
V(c) Združljivost ukrepov pomoči z notranjim trgom
V(c)(1) General
V(c)(1) Splošno
Inasmuch as Measures 1 and 2 constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU, their compatibility must be assessed in the light of the exceptions laid down in paragraphs 2 and 3 of that Article.
Ker ukrepa 1 in 2 pomenita državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU, je treba ugotoviti, ali sta združljiva z notranjim trgom glede na izjeme iz odstavkov 2 in 3 navedenega člena.
V(c)(2) Company in difficulty
V(c)(2) Podjetje v težavah
The Commission equally considers that the company is in difficulties at present because the situation has not improved since.
Komisija prav tako meni, da je podjetje še vedno v težavah, ker se razmere od takrat niso izboljšale.
V(c)(3) Exemptions under Article 107(2) and (3) TFEU
V(c)(3) Izjeme iz člena 107(2) in (3) PDEU
The derogations laid down in Article 107(2) and Article 107(3), points (d) and (e), are clearly not applicable and have not been invoked by the Greek authorities.
Izjeme iz člena 107(2) ter člena 107(3)(d) in (e) se očitno ne uporabljajo in se grški organi tudi niso sklicevali nanje.
Article 107(3)(a) states that ‘aid to promote the economic development of areas where the standard of living is abnormally low or where there is serious underemployment’ may be declared compatible with the internal market.
Člen 107(3)(a) določa, da se lahko pomoč šteje za združljivo z notranjim trgom, če je namenjena „za pospeševanje gospodarskega razvoja območij, kjer je življenjska raven izjemno nizka ali kjer je podzaposlenost velika“.
United Textiles is located in an assisted area under Article 107(3)(a), therefore it could potentially be eligible for regional aid.
Podjetje United Textiles ima sedež na območju, ki prejema pomoč v skladu s členom 107(3)(a), in bi zato lahko bilo upravičeno do regionalne pomoči.
The Guidelines on regional aid 2007-2013 [25] (‘Regional aid guidelines’), which were applicable at the time of application of the 2007 guarantee and the 2009 debt rescheduling (Measures 1 and 2), set out the conditions for the approval of regional investment aid.
V Smernicah o državni regionalni pomoči za 2007–2013 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: smernice o regionalni pomoči) [25], ki so se uporabljale v času uporabe poroštva iz leta 2007 in reprogramiranja dolga iz leta 2009 (ukrepov 1 in 2), so določeni pogoji za odobritev regionalne pomoči za naložbe.
The Regional aid guidelines clearly exclude firms in difficulty from their scope.
S področja uporabe smernic o regionalni pomoči so jasno izključena podjetja v težavah.
United Textiles was already in difficulty at the time when Measures 1 and 2 were granted, therefore it was not eligible for regional aid.
Podjetje United Textiles je bilo v času sprejetja ukrepov 1 in 2 že v težavah, zato ni bilo upravičeno do regionalne pomoči.
On this basis, the Commission concludes that the aid cannot be declared compatible on the basis of the Regional aid guidelines.
Komisija ugotavlja, da se pomoč ne more šteti za združljivo z notranjim trgom na podlagi smernic o regionalni pomoči.
The Commission will also assess the compatibility of the measures in question under the Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/2008 of 6 August 2008 declaring certain categories of aid compatible with the common market in application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty (General block exemption Regulation) [26].
Komisija bo ocenila tudi združljivost zadevnih ukrepov v skladu z Uredbo Komisije (ES) št. 800/2008 z dne 6. avgusta 2008 o razglasitvi nekaterih vrst pomoči za združljive s skupnim trgom z uporabo členov 87 in 88 Pogodbe (Uredba o splošnih skupinskih izjemah) [26].
The Commission notes that aid to firms in difficulty is excluded from the scope of the general block exemption Regulation.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je pomoč podjetjem v težavah izključena iz področja uporabe Uredbe o splošnih skupinskih izjemah.
United Textiles was already in difficulty at the time when Measures 1 and 2 were granted, therefore the aid granted to United Textiles is not compatible under the general block exemption Regulation.
Podjetje United Textiles je bilo v času sprejetja ukrepov 1 in 2 že v težavah, zato pomoč, dodeljena temu podjetju, ni bila združljiva v skladu z Uredbo o splošnih skupinskih izjemah.
The Commission has also to assess whether any of the measures concerned could be compatible under the crisis rules enshrined in the Communication from the Commission — Temporary Community framework for State aid measures to support access to finance in the current financial and economic crisis [27] (hereinafter ‘Temporary Framework’).
Komisija mora oceniti tudi, ali bi bil lahko kateri od zadevnih ukrepov združljiv na podlagi pravil iz Začasnega okvira Skupnosti za ukrepe državnih pomoči v podporo dostopu do financiranja ob trenutni finančni in gospodarski krizi (v nadaljnjem besedilu: začasni okvir) [27].
However, the Commission notes that United Textiles was clearly a company in difficulties before 1 July 2008 and therefore not eligible for aid under the Temporary Framework.
Vseeno Komisija ugotavlja, da je bilo podjetje United Textiles očitno v težavah že pred 1. julijem 2008 in zato ni bilo upravičeno do pomoči v skladu z začasnim okvirom.
Since United Textiles was a firm in difficulty at the time of the granting of the measures, the compatibility of the aid measures can only be assessed in the light of the Rescue and restructuring guidelines, i.e. under Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Ker je bilo podjetje United Textiles v težavah v času sprejetja ukrepov, je mogoče združljivost pomoči z notranjim trgom oceniti le na podlagi smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje, tj. v skladu s členom 107(3)(c) PDEU.
First, the Commission considers that the measures in question cannot be found compatible as rescue aid.
Komisija meni, da ukrepov ni mogoče šteti za združljive kot pomoč za reševanje.
Indeed, the guarantee does not have a limited duration of six months, as foreseen in point 25(c) of the Rescue and restructuring guidelines, and the debt rescheduling, which could be comparable to a loan, also goes beyond a six-month period admissible as rescue aid.
Trajanje poroštva ni omejeno na šest mesecev, kot določa točka 25(c) smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje, pri čemer tudi reprogramiranje dolga, ki je primerljivo s posojilom, presega šestmesečno obdobje, ki je dovoljeno za pomoč za reševanje.
Also, the measures are not restricted to the minimum necessary amount, as foreseen in point 25(d) of the Rescue and restructuring guidelines and stemming from the formula set out in the Annex to those guidelines.
Ukrepi niso omejeni na najnižji potrebni znesek, kot je predvideno v točki 25(d) smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje ter določeno s formulo iz Priloge k navedenim smernicam.
Second, none of the measures could be found compatible as restructuring aid either.
Poleg tega nobenega od ukrepov ni mogoče šteti za združljivega kot pomoč za prestrukturiranje.
Greece and the beneficiary claim that before having been granted the 2007 guarantee, the company had submitted to the Greek authorities a restructuring plan with financing from banks and without any State guarantee.
Grčija in upravičenec trdita, da je podjetje pred prejetjem poroštva iz leta 2007 grškim organom predložilo načrt prestrukturiranja, ki vključuje financiranje s strani bank in brez državnega poroštva.
However, such a restructuring plan was never officially submitted to the Commission, therefore, the grant of these measures was made in the absence of a restructuring plan; however, such a restructuring plan is the condition for ensuring the restoration of a firm’s long-term viability.
Komisija uradno ni nikoli prejela takšnega načrta prestrukturiranja. Načrt prestrukturiranja je nujen pogoj za zagotovitev ponovnega doseganja dolgoročne rentabilnosti podjetja, vendar so bili navedeni ukrepi sprejeti brez načrta prestrukturiranja.
In fact, based on the evidence of the investigation, no such plan existed, and all restructuring efforts in this period have failed, to the point that the company practically ceased to operate and was taken off the stock exchange.
Na podlagi dokazil, zbranih v okviru preiskave, je jasno, da takšnega načrta ni bilo in da so bila vsa prizadevanja za prestrukturiranje v tem obdobju neuspešna, zaradi česar je podjetje dejansko nehalo delovati in ni več kotiralo na borzi.
Despite this failure to restructure, the State continued to provide working capital to United Textiles, through the 2007 State guarantee.
Država je kljub neuspelemu prestrukturiranju podjetju United Textiles še naprej zagotavljala obratni kapital na podlagi državnega poroštva iz leta 2007.
Thus, the Commission considers that Measures 1 and 2 constituted mere operating aid without any underlying credible restructuring.
Zato Komisija meni, da sta ukrepa 1 in 2 pomenila zgolj pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, ki ni bila utemeljena z nobenim verodostojnim postopkom prestrukturiranja.
Finally, no compensatory measures in the sense of points 38 to 42 of the Rescue and restructuring guidelines have been officially submitted.
Tudi kakršni koli izravnalni ukrepi v smislu točk 38 do 42 smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje niso bili uradno predloženi.
As regards United Textiles’ eligibility to receive restructuring aid, the Commission notes that the company has been granted operating aid since at least 2007, at a time when it was already in difficulty.
Komisija v zvezi z upravičenostjo podjetja United Textiles do pomoči za prestrukturiranje ugotavlja, da je podjetje prejemalo pomoč za tekoče poslovanje vsaj od leta 2007, ko je že bilo v težavah.
The Commission considers that the above fact is an infringement of the ‘one time last time’ principle, as it demonstrates that the company’s difficulties are of a recurrent nature and that the aid measures in the company’s favour have distorted competition contrary to the common interest.
Komisija meni, da to pomeni kršitev načela o enkratni pomoči, ter dokazuje, da so se težave podjetja ponavljale in da je pomoč podjetju pomenila izkrivljanje konkurence v nasprotju s skupnim interesom.
In addition, the beneficiary argues that the 2007 guarantee was incorporated in the guarantee of 2010, therefore there is a continuum in the settlement of the company’s lending.
Poleg tega upravičenec trdi, da je bilo poroštvo iz leta 2007 vključeno v poroštvo iz leta 2010, kar pomeni, da gre za celostni pristop k poravnavi posojil podjetja.
However, the Commission considers that there are no elements suggesting that the restructuring should be considered to form a continuum, as the aid measures of 2007, 2009 and 2010 were granted over several years and were not granted on the basis of a single restructuring project or concept capable of restoring the company’s viability.
Vendar Komisija meni, da ni dokazov o celostnem pristopu k prestrukturiranju, ker so se ukrepi pomoči, sprejeti v letih 2007, 2009 in 2010, sprejemali v več letih brez potrebnega enotnega projekta ali strategije prestrukturiranja, s katero bi bilo mogoče zagotoviti ponovno doseganje rentabilnosti podjetja.
On the basis of the above, the Commission considers that the ‘one time last time’ principle is not respected.
Komisija ugotavlja, da načelo o enkratni pomoči ni bilo upoštevano.
Finally, as United Textiles was in difficulty at the time of the granting of the measures, the Commission cannot conceive of another set of State aid rules that could make the alleged aid measures compatible with TFEU.
Ker je bilo podjetje United Textiles v času sprejetja ukrepov v težavah, domnevna državna pomoč po mnenju Komisije ne bi bila združljiva s PDEU niti na podlagi katerega koli drugega sklopa pravil o državni pomoči.
V(c)(4) Conclusion on compatibility
V(c)(4) Sklepne ugotovitve glede združljivosti
In the view of the above, the Commission concludes that Measures 1 and 2 are incompatible with TFEU.
Komisija ugotavlja, da ukrepa 1 in 2 nista združljiva s PDEU.
On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission concludes that the 2007 State guarantee and the 2009 rescheduling of overdue social insurance obligations constitute State aid which is incompatible with the internal market.
Komisija ugotavlja, da državno poroštvo iz leta 2007 in reprogramiranje zapadlih obveznosti iz naslova socialnih prispevkov iz leta 2009 pomenita državno pomoč, ki ni združljiva z notranjim trgom.
The Commission has also come to the conclusion that the 2010 State guarantee does not constitute State aid.
Komisija ugotavlja, da državno poroštvo iz leta 2010 ne pomeni državne pomoči.
Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 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 (ES) št. 659/1999 določa, da „[č]e 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 measures at hand are 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 obravnavani ukrepi štejejo za nezakonito in nezdružljivo pomoč, je treba pomoč 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.
Pomoč mora biti vrnjena od datuma, ko je upravičenec pridobil prednost, tj. ko mu je bila pomoč dana na voljo, pri čemer se temu znesku prištejejo obresti do datuma njenega dejanskega vračila.
The incompatible aid element of the 2007 State guarantee (Measure 1) is calculated as amounting up to the total of the guaranteed loan.
Nezdružljiv element pomoči v državnem poroštvu iz leta 2007 (ukrep 1) je enak celotnemu znesku posojila s poroštvom.
The Commission estimates that the aid thus granted to United Textiles amounts up to EUR 16 million.
Komisija ocenjuje, da tako dodeljena pomoč podjetju United Textiles znaša 16 milijonov EUR.
The incompatible aid element of Measure 2 is calculated as the total amount of the rescheduled debts, thus the amount of aid granted to United Textiles is EUR 14,57 million. Payments made other than the amounts paid under the agreement may be deducted from the sum to be recovered as unlawful and incompatible aid.
Nezdružljiv element pomoči iz ukrepa 2 je enak skupnemu znesku reprogramiranih dolgov, zato tako dodeljena pomoč podjetju United Textiles znaša 14,57 milijona EUR. Vsa plačila razen zneskov, plačanih na podlagi dogovora o prerazporeditvi, se lahko odštejejo od skupnega zneska, ki ga je treba vrniti kot nezakonito in nezdružljivo pomoč.
The exact recovery amount and the recovery interest to be applied on these amounts have to be calculated by Greece,
Točen znesek, ki ga je treba vrniti, in obresti, ki jih je treba pripisati vrnjenim vsotam, mora izračunati Grčija –
The State aid granted by Greece in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, in favour of United Textiles S.A., in the form of a 2007 State guarantee and a rescheduling of overdue social insurance obligations in 2009, is incompatible with the internal market.
Državna pomoč, ki jo je Grčija dodelila podjetju Enómeni Klostoÿfantourgía AE leta 2007 v obliki državnega poroštva in leta 2009 v obliki reprogramiranja zapadlih obveznosti iz naslova socialnih prispevkov, s čimer je kršila člen 108(3) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije, ni združljiva z notranjim trgom.
The 2010 State guarantee does not constitute aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Državno poroštvo, dodeljeno leta 2010, ne pomeni državne pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
Greece shall recover the aid stipulated in Article 1, paragraph 1, from the beneficiary.
Grčija od upravičenca izterja državno pomoč iz člena 1(1).
The sums to be recovered shall bear interest generated from the date on which they were put at the disposal of the beneficiary until their actual recovery.
Vsoti, ki se vrne, se prištejejo obresti za obdobje od datuma, ko je bila pomoč dana na voljo prejemniku, do datuma njenega dejanskega vračila.
The interest shall be calculated on a compound basis in accordance with Chapter V of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 [28].
Obresti se izračunajo z obrestnoobrestnim računom v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 [28].
Greece shall cancel all outstanding payments under the aid stipulated in Article 1, paragraph 1, with effect from the date of notification of this decision.
Grčija prekliče vsa neizvedena plačila pomoči iz člena 1(1) z začetkom veljavnosti od datuma uradnega obvestila o tem sklepu.
Recovery of the aid referred to in Article 1, paragraph 1, shall be immediate and effective.
Pomoč iz člena 1(1) mora biti vrnjena 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 bo ta sklep izveden v štirih mesecih od datuma uradnega obvestila o tem sklepu.

Greece shall keep the Commission informed of the progress of the national measures taken to implement this Decision until recovery of the aid stipulated in Article 1, paragraph 1, has been completed.
Grčija obvešča Komisijo o napredovanju nacionalnih ukrepov, sprejetih za izvajanje tega sklepa, dokler pomoč iz člena 1(1) ni v celoti povrnjena.
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 podatke o že sprejetih in načrtovanih ukrepih za uskladitev s tem sklepom.
It shall also provide detailed information concerning the amounts of aid and recovery interest already recovered from the beneficiary
Prav tako predloži podrobne podatke o zneskih pomoči in obrestnih merah za vračilo pomoči, ki jih je upravičenec že vrnil.

It is also noted that, in principle, banks in Greece usually accept as securities only assets whose ‘fire sale’ value (around 75 % of the market value) is at least equal to the loan.
Poudariti je treba tudi, da banke v Grčiji običajno kot zavarovanje sprejmejo le sredstva, katerih vrednost „prisilne prodaje“ (približno 75 % tržne vrednosti) je najmanj enaka posojilu.
