The amount of this flat-rate contribution was established in 1996 so as to compensate, for a period of 10 years of application of the 1996 Law, the additional cost foreseen at the time for the State, also taking into account the accounting provisions that France Télécom had set aside and that the undertaking could write back in the financial year 1996-97.
Višina tega pavšalnega prispevka je bila določena leta 1996, da bi se v desetletnem obdobju, v katerem naj bi se uporabljal zakon iz leta 1996, izravnali dodatni stroški, ki naj bi jih imela država, med drugim ob upoštevanju računovodskih rezervacij, ki jih je oblikovalo podjetje France Télécom in ki bi jih lahko ponovno prevzelo zadevno podjetje v obdobju 1996–1997.
Moreover, the exceptional contribution includes the write-back of the accounting provisions set aside until 1996 and which had become redundant.
Poleg tega izredni prispevek vključuje ponovni prevzem računovodskih rezervacij, ki so bile oblikovane do leta 1996 in so postale nepotrebne.
The provisions written back by the State had been set aside by France Télécom to defray the cost of future retirements and this write-back eliminates the effects of aid for the period of payment of the retirements which they are intended to cover.
Rezervacije, ki jih je prevzela država, je oblikovalo podjetje France Télécom, da bi lahko pokrilo strošek prihodnjih pokojnin, pri čemer se s tem prevzemom stroškov odpravlja učinek pomoči v obdobju izplačevanja pokojnin, ki bi se lahko krile iz teh rezervacij.
Nonetheless, raising the necessary funds was rendered possible in part by reduction in retirement costs for a net amount of EUR […] billion transferred to the French State in 1996.
Dejstvo pa je, da je bilo zbiranje potrebnih sredstev mogoče deloma zaradi zmanjšanja stroškov za pokojnine za neto znesek v višini […] milijard EUR, ki je bil leta 1996 prenesen na Francosko republiko.
As a result, the comments of the telecommunications operator claiming that the aid enabled France Télécom to finance its international expansion (comments set out in recital 68), albeit indirectly, are not without foundation.
Zato so pripombe telekomunikacijskega operaterja, ki je poskušal dokazati, da je lahko podjetje France Télécom z zadevno pomočjo financiralo svojo širitev na mednarodne trge (pripombe iz uvodne izjave 68), vsaj posredno utemeljene.
On the contrary, the resources of the body were to have been drawn down in full as at 31 December 2011.
Vendar pa bi morala biti sredstva javnega zavoda v celoti porabljena do 31. decembra 2011.
They would have been drawn down earlier if they had been allocated to financing the 1996 reform — which the French Republic challenges incidentally — even by including in them the higher revenues from corporation tax, as argued by the French authorities.
Ta sredstva bi bila porabljena še prej, če bi bila namenjena financiranju reforme iz leta 1996, čemur sicer Francoska republika nasprotuje, tudi če bi bili vanje vključeni dodatni prihodki iz naslova davka od dobička pravnih oseb, ki jih navajajo francoski organi.
This last aspect was taken into consideration in the financial parameters imposed on the opening balance of France Télécom, from which the exceptional flat-rate contribution results indirectly, as mentioned before Parliament in 1996.
Ta vidik se je upošteval v finančnih parametrih, ki se uporabljajo za začetno bilanco stanja podjetja France Télécom, ki se je uporabila kot posredna podlaga za določitev višine izrednega pavšalnega prispevka, kot je bilo izpostavljeno v parlamentarni obravnavi leta 1996.
Consequently, it was perfectly consistent on the part of a prudent single shareholder State to draw out the largest possible amount in extraordinary dividend, according to the terms of the French Republic, rather than to leave the funds in the undertaking, from which after opening-up the capital in 1997, it would draw at most its pro rata in the capital maintained.
Kot je navedla Francoska republika, je bilo zato popolnoma upravičeno, da si je država v vlogi edinega in preudarnega delničarja izplačala čim višji znesek izrednih dividend, namesto da bi pustila sredstva v podjetju, pri čemer bi po odprtju kapitala v letu 1997 dobila največ sorazmerni delež glede na kapital, ki ga ima v lasti.
This would also amount to a new calculation and a retrospective fictitious reallocation in whole or in part of the exceptional flat-rate contribution paid to the State budget in 1997.
To bi pomenilo tudi, da bi bila potrebna nov izračun in naknadna fiktivna prerazporeditev celotnega izrednega pavšalnega prispevka, vplačanega v državni proračun v letu 1997, ali njegovega dela.
Likewise, the mechanism proposed would amount to introducing an ex-post control, year after year, the purpose of which would not be to ensure the proportionality of the aid granted, although reduced by the exceptional flat-rate contribution, in 1997, but to eliminate any aid under the reform.
Prav tako bi bil z zadevnim mehanizmom vzpostavljen naknadni nadzor za vsako leto posebej, katerega cilj ne bi bil zagotoviti sorazmernost dodeljene pomoči, čeprav bi se od te pomoči odbil znesek izrednega pavšalnega prispevka v letu 1997, ampak odpraviti vsakršen element pomoči v okviru reforme.
On the other hand, payments of the contribution in full discharge of liabilities were made from the start of 1997.
Poleg tega so se odvezujoči prispevki plačevali od začetka leta 1997.
The discount rate must in principle be that resulting from the Commission notice applicable on the subject [71], a rate which, for illustration, amounted to 5,53 % in October 1997.
Načeloma je treba uporabiti diskontno stopnjo iz ustreznega sporočila Komisije na tem področju [71], tj. stopnjo, ki je na primer oktobra 1997 znašala 5,53 %.
The rate needs to be established in 1997 and not for the average of 1996.
Stopnjo je treba določiti leta 1997 in ne kot povprečje v letu 1996.
In addition, a term of 15 years is too long in the light of the scale of the annual payment flows which the exceptional flat-rate contribution should theoretically have had to cover during the period, for which the interest alone would not have sufficed.
Poleg tega je obdobje 15 let predolgo glede na pomembnost tokov letnih plačil, ki bi se morala v zadevnem obdobju teoretično pokriti z izrednim pavšalnim prispevkom, pri čemer samo njihove obresti ne bi bile zadostne.
A discount rate resulting from the interest rates paid by France Télécom on the new debts contracted in 1996 would amount to 4,8 % on the basis of its balance sheet at 31 December 1996 [74].
Vendar pa bi se diskontna stopnja, ki izhaja iz obrestnih mer, ki jih plačuje podjetje France Télécom za nove dolgove, nastale v letu 1996, zvišala na 4,8 % na podlagi njegove bilance stanja na dan 31. decembra 1996 [74].
Such a rate is adjusted to the materiality of the real financial costs incurred by France Télécom at the time to finance the exceptional contribution.
Takšna stopnja se prilagodi utemeljenosti dejanskih finančnih stroškov, ki jih je v zadevnem obdobju imelo podjetje France Télécom v zvezi s financiranjem izrednega prispevka.
Furthermore, the schedule for this compensation, which neutralises the effects of the reform, coincided furthermore, to within a few months, with the resources of the public body responsible for managing the exceptional contribution of France Télécom actually being exhausted, which was scheduled for 31 December 2011.
Poleg tega bi zapadlost tega nadomestila, s katerim se izravnajo učinki reforme, v nekaj mesecih tudi sovpadala z dejanskim izčrpanjem sredstev javnega zavoda, pooblaščenega za upravljanje izrednega prispevka podjetja France Télécom, ki naj bi se zgodilo do 31. decembra 2011.
The flow analysis is supported by the fact that, in any case, the exceptional contribution will have been in fact drawn down in full.
Poleg analize diskontiranja je treba upoštevati dejstvo, da mora biti izredni prispevek v vsakem primeru dejansko porabljen.
Note No 15 to the accounts notes the increase in short-term and long-term debts, which rose from FRF 6,2 billion to FRF 30,8 billion and from FRF 66,9 billion to FRF 74,2 billion respectively, i.e. a total increase of FRF 31,8 billion during 1996.
V opombi 15 računovodskih izkazov je omenjeno povečanje kratkoročnih dolgov s 6,2 milijarde FRF na 30,8 milijarde FRF in dolgoročnih dolgov s 66,9 milijarde FRF na 74,2 milijarde FRF, kar predstavlja skupno povišanje za 31,8 milijarde FRF v poslovnem letu 1996.
The increase in the company’s debts in 1996, almost three quarters of which occurred through an increase in short-term notes and commercial paper, is allocated by the auditors to financing the exceptional contribution of FRF 37,5 billion due to the State.
Po mnenju revizorjev je povečanje dolgov podjetja leta 1996, pri katerem skoraj tri četrtine predstavlja povečanje v okviru kratkoročnih komercialnih zapisov, posledica financiranja izrednega prispevka v višini 37,5 milijarde FRF, dolgovanega državi.
The amount of EUR 36,9 billion (FRF 242 billion) corresponds to the expected value of future commitments as at 1 January 1997.
Znesek 36,9 milijarde EUR (242 milijard FRF) ustreza vrednosti, predvideni za prihodnje obveznosti na dan 1. januarja 1997.
It is therefore different, and more appropriate for estimating the measures in question than that of EUR 35,7 billion (FRF 234 billion) mentioned under point 24 of the decision to initiate the investigation procedure, which corresponds to the expected value of future commitments as at 1 January 1996, i.e. before the entry into force of the 1996 Law.
Torej je ta znesek ustreznejši za oceno zadevnih ukrepov in se razlikuje od zneska 35,7 milijarde EUR (243 milijard FRF), navedenega v točki 24 sklepa o začetku postopka preiskave, ki ustreza vrednosti, predvideni za prihodnje obveznosti na dan 1. januarja 1996 ali pred začetkom veljavnosti zakona iz leta 1996.
For the year 1997 when the payments of the exceptional contribution were split into tranches until October, the equivalent date of payment calculated by the French Republic is 4 June 1997.
Za leto 1997, v katerem so bila plačila izrednega prispevka razdeljena na več plačil do oktobra, je bil datum enakovrednega plačila, ki ga je določila Francoska republika, 4. junij 1997.
The interest is calculated at that date.
Obresti so bile izračunane na ta datum.
In addition, the amount of the exceptional flat-rate contribution provided for by the 1996 Law in return for the payment and servicing by the State of the pensions awarded to the civil servant staff of France Télécom was fixed at FRF 37,5 billion (EUR 5,71 billion) by the Finance Act 1997. It was financed by an increase in the company’s short-term and long-term debts [18] and paid in several instalments between January and October 1997.
Poleg tega je bil izredni pavšalni prispevek, ki ga predvideva zakon iz leta 1996 kot protidajatev za obračunavanje in izplačevanje odobrenih pokojnin uslužbencem podjetja France Télécom s strani države, na podlagi finančnega zakona za leto 1997 določen na 37,5 milijarde FRF oziroma 5,71 milijarde EUR. Sredstva zanj so se zbrala s povečanjem kratkoročnih in dolgoročnih dolgov podjetja [18], plačal pa se je v več obrokih med januarjem in oktobrom leta 1997.
It is claimed that this sum of EUR 9,1 billion covers the amount of the balancing cash adjustment of EUR 5,7 billion plus EUR 3,4 billion surplus. This surplus results from the difference between the real cost of the reform for the State in the period, estimated at EUR 2,37 billion, on the one hand, and EUR 4,9 billion in interest on the balancing cash adjustment invested at a rate of 7 % plus EUR 840 million in addition from corporate tax revenue on the lower annual contributions of France Télécom.
Znesek 9,1 milijarde EUR pokriva znesek doplačila v višini 5,7 milijarde EUR in presežek v višini 3,4 milijarde EUR. Navedeni presežek izhaja iz razlike med dejanskim stroškom reforme za državo v zadevnem obdobju, ocenjen na 2,37 milijarde EUR, na eni strani in 4,9 milijarde EUR prihodka od obresti doplačila po 7-odstotni stopnji na drugi strani, k čemur se prišteje 840 milijonov EUR povečanja davčnega prihodka družb od najmanjših letnih prispevkov podjetja France Télécom.
The revenue from this exceptional contribution allowed the deficit of the French public administrations to be reduced to EUR 41,8 billion in 1997. Without it, the deficit would have represented 3,7 % of GDP that year.
Zaradi prejema tega izrednega prispevka se je primanjkljaj francoske javne uprave leta 1997 zmanjšal na 41,8 milijarde EUR. Brez tega prispevka bi primanjkljaj v navedenem letu predstavljal 3,7 % BDP.
