CONCLUSION
Komisija je na podlagi informacij, ki jih je prejela od Španije, ugotovila, da so take razpise izvedle (vsaj) avtonomne skupnosti Andaluzija, Estremadura, Murcia, La Rioja in Valencija.
It is considered that the financing granted by Spain (including aid granted by the Spanish Autonomous Communities and the local corporations) to terrestrial network operators for the upgrade and digitisation of their network to provide free-to-air TV channels in Area II constitutes aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU.
Podjetja, od katerih se zahteva izterjava
The aid is not compatible with the common market, to the extent the criteria of technological neutrality was not complied with.
Izterjava
Furthermore, the aid was not notified [97] to the Commission as required by Article 108(3) TFEU and was unlawfully put into effect without Commission authorisation.
Metoda, po kateri se zagotovi pomoč
It must therefore be recovered from the terrestrial network operators.
Zadevna avtonomna skupnost
In addition, the Commission considers that the ongoing aid for operation and maintenance of the digitised network granted without tenders or following technologically non-neutral tenders is also incompatible.
Neposredni upravičenci
Furthermore, this aid was not notified to the Commission as required by Article 108(3) TFEU and was unlawfully put into effect without Commission authorisation.
zmagovalci tehnološko nenevtralnih razpisov za razširitev pokritja, ki so jih organizirale avtonomne skupnosti
Any future state aid for maintenance and operation needs to be notified and has to respect the principle of technological neutrality.

NEED TO ELIMINATE AID
Andaluzija
According to the TFEU and the established case law of the Court of Justice, the Commission is competent to decide that the State concerned must abolish or alter aid [98] when it has been found to be incompatible with the internal market.
Estremadura
The Court has also consistently held that the obligation on a State to abolish aid regarded by the Commission as being incompatible with the internal market is designed to re-establish the situation previously existing [99].
Valencija
In this context, the Court has established that this objective is attained once the recipient has repaid the amounts granted by way of unlawful aid, thus forfeiting the advantage that it had enjoyed over its competitors on the market, and the situation prior to the payment of the aid is restored [100].
Kadar je bila nezakonita pomoč za posodobitev prizemnega omrežja dodeljena mestnim svetom, ki so delovali kot omrežni operaterji, so mestni sveti neposredni upravičenci do pomoči.
In accordance with that case-law, Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 [101] states 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’.
Vsota, ki jo je treba izterjati, je enaka celotnemu znesku, ki so ga mestni sveti prejeli od centralnih in regionalnih organov za razširitev pokritja s svojim omrežjem.
Thus, given that the financing of upgrade and digitisation of the terrestrial platform and subsequent maintenance and operation granted in Spain since the years 2008-2009 is illegal and incompatible aid, Spain should therefore be required to recover the incompatible aid, in order to re-establish the situation that existed on the market prior to the granting of the aid.
Komisija je na podlagi informacij, ki jih je prejela od Španije, sklenila, da se to uporablja vsaj za mestne svete, ki imajo sedež v avtonomnih skupnostih Andaluzija, Kanarski otoki, Estremadura in Murcia (neizčrpen seznam).
STATE AID RECIPIENTS AND QUANTIFICATION OF THE AID
mestni sveti, ki delujejo kot omrežni operaterji
Platform operators are direct beneficiaries where they directly receive funds for the upgrading and extension of their networks and/or for the operation and maintenance.
celoten znesek, prejet od organov za razširitev pokritja
Where the aid was paid to public undertakings which subsequently carried out tenders for extension of coverage, the selected platform operator is considered to be the indirect beneficiary.
prenos sredstev upravičencu
The illegal and incompatible aid shall be recovered from the platform operators whether they are direct or indirect beneficiaries.
Kanarski otoki
Qualification of the tenders
V Murciji so mestni sveti uporabili denar, ki so ga prejeli od regije in MITT, ter organizirali skoraj vse od 143 opredeljenih razpisov.
In cases where the illegal aid was granted following a technologically non-neutral tender for extension of coverage, the Member State must qualify the tenders as falling into category of supply of hardware or extension of coverage, subject to the conditions set out below.
Ti bi spadali v to kategorijo, če niso de minimis.
Tenders for the extension of coverage entrust the winning company with the mission of providing (including building) an operative DTT network.
Pri avtonomnih skupnostih, kjer je razširitev pokritja z omrežjem izvedlo javno podjetje, ki je delovalo kot omrežni operater, se tako podjetje šteje za neposrednega upravičenca, ki se ga izterja.
To this end, necessary tasks include design and engineering of the network, transport of the signal, deployment of the network and supply of the necessary equipment.
Komisija je kot družbe, ki spadajo v to kategorijo, opredelila Aragón Telecom, Gestión de Infraestructuras Públicas de Telecomunicaciones del Principado de Asturias S.A., Multimedia de les Illes Balears S.A., Instituto Tecnologico de Canarias, Sociedad Regional de Cantabria I+D+I (IDICAN), Fundación Centro Tecnológico en Logística Integral de Cantabria (CTL), Promoción de Viviendas, Infraestructuras y Logística S.A v Kastilji in Leónu (Provilsa), Redes de Telecomunicación Galegas Retegal S.A.
In tenders for the supply of hardware, the winning company is requested to provide the equipment necessary for the upgrading of the network.
(Retegal), Obras Publicas y Telecomunicaciones De Navarra S.A.
To this end, necessary tasks include the supply, installation and activation of the equipment, as well as training of the staff.
(Opnatel), Itelazpi S.A., Centre de Telecomunicacions i Tecnologies de la Informació (CTTI) v Kataloniji ter Agencia de Informática y Comunicaciones de la Comunidad de Madrid (AICCM).
No recovery is required for these tenders for supply of equipment.
Vsota, ki se jo izterja, je celotni znesek sredstev, prejet od organov za razširitev.
Having classified these tenders for an extension of coverage, Spain has to recover the aid whenever a tender does not fulfil two cumulative conditions:
Vendar v teh primerih ni izključeno, da so javna podjetja izvedla del razširitve sama, delno pa so razširitev s pogodbo na podlagi razpisa prenesle na omrežnega operaterja.
the tender refers to extension of coverage of digital television (and not digital terrestrial television) and/or contains a clause of technological neutrality; and 2. their technical specifications admit technologies other than terrestrial.
V slednjem primeru je bila nezakonita pomoč dejansko prenesena na družbe, ki so zmagale na razpisu in so tako postale dejanske, čeprav posredne upravičenke do pomoči.
Apart from the tenders, which the Commission itself considers technologically neutral, if Spain considers that other tenders fulfil the two conditions, it will provide the Commission with the related tender documents.
Da bi se izognili dvojni izterjavi, se nezakonita pomoč zato izterja od dejanskih upravičencev, tj. (a) od javnega podjetja v višini vsote, prejete za razširitev, od katere se odštejejo sredstva, prenesena na omrežne operaterje na podlagi tehnološko nenevtralnih razpisov za razširitev pokritja, ter (b) od omrežnih operaterjev v višini zneskov, za katere je bila sklenjena pogodba po tehnološko nenevtralnem razpisu za razširitev pokritja, ki ga je organiziralo zadevno javno podjetje.
Example
Zadevna avtonomna skupnost/ zadevno javno podjetje/ približen znesek, prejet od javnega podjetja za razširitev pokritja
Among the tenders reviewed by the Commission, the one organised by the Autonomous Community of Extremadura is provided as an example of technologically non-neutral tender for extension of coverage [102].
javno podjetje
Despite the title of the tender, which refers only to the supply of hardware, the object of the tender did in fact include the design and deployment of the network [103].
celotni znesek, prejet od organov za razširitev pokritja (od katerega se po potrebi odštejejo sredstva, prenesena omrežnim operaterjem po tehnološko nenevtralnih razpisih za razširitev pokritja)
The specifications of the tender make it technologically non-neutral [104], despite the insertion of a clause that is at first sight a clause of technological neutrality [105].
čas prenosa sredstev organov
Another example of a technologically non-neutral tender for extension of coverage is the one organised by the public undertaking (AICCM) in the Autonomous Community of Madrid [106].
Aragonija (Aragón Telecom, 9 milijonov EUR)
In this case, both the title and the contents of the tender imply that it is a tender for extension [107] only directed to the terrestrial platform [108].(187) The tenders shall be qualified not only according to their title, but above all according to their content, as the title alone does not make it possible to clearly define their scope.
Asturija (Gestión de Infraestructuras Públicas de Telecomunicaciones del Principado de Asturias SA, 14 milijonov EUR)
The aid granted after non-neutral tenders for extension of coverage have been held will then be subject to recovery.
Balearski otoki (Multimedia de Illes Balears SA, 4 milijoni EUR)
State aid recipients and recovery
Kanarski otoki (Instituto Tecnológico de Canarias, 3,7 milijona EUR)
Below are the different categories of aid beneficiaries.
Kantabrija (Idican; CTL, 3 milijoni EUR)
On the basis of the information received from Spain, the Autonomous Communities and the approximate aid categories are listed in tables.
Kastilja in León (Provilsa, 44 milijonov EUR)
Since Spain has not provided full information on the aid beneficiaries, Spain must classify the beneficiaries in the different categories above and provide the Commission with the relevant supporting evidence.
Katalonija (CTTI, 52 milijonov EUR)
As already underlined in paragraph 138, the regime as such is discriminatory.
Galicija (Retegal, 17 milijonov EUR)
Spain must therefore indicate and provide sufficient evidence on particular tenders that were technologically neutral, on the basis of the conditions specified in paragraph 186 above.
Baskija (Itelazpi, 10 milijonov EUR)
Where Autonomous Communities have organised non-neutral tenders for extension of coverage, as in the case of Extremadura referred to in the above example, the winners of such tenders are direct beneficiaries of the illegal aid subject to recovery.
IN po potrebi
The sum to be recovered equals the full amount received by the winners of the tenders for the extension.
Posredni prejemniki
From the information received from Spain, the Commission has found that (at least) the Autonomous Communities of Andalucía, Extremadura, Murcia, La Rioja and Valencia have carried out such tenders.

Method by which the aid is provided
Pri Madridu, kjer je bil kot primer tehnološko nenevtralnega razpisa za razširitev pokritja naveden razpis, ki ga je organiziralo javno podjetje (AICCM) (glej odstavek 186), je treba znesek v vrednosti 3622744 EUR, ki je bil dodeljen družbi pogodbenici Retevisión S.A., v celoti izterjati od družbe Retevisión, ki je zmagala na nenevtralnem razpisu, ter ga odšteti od zneska, ki ga je treba izterjati od AICCM, javnega podjetja, ki je neposredni upravičenec [109].
CA concerned
Stalna pomoč je namenjena vzdrževanju in upravljanju omrežij digitalne prizemne televizije.
Direct beneficiaries
Upravičenci do pomoči za vzdrževanje in upravljanje so operaterji teh omrežij.
Winner(s) of the technologically non-neutral tender(s) for extension of coverage organised by the autonomous communities
Pomoč je zato treba izterjati od navedenih omrežnih operaterjev.
Full amount received under the technologically non-neutral tender(s) for extension of coverage
Kadar so posamezni upravičenci prejeli financiranje, ki ni presegalo pragov iz Uredbe (ES) št. 1998/2006, tako financiranje ne pomeni državne pomoči, če so izpolnjeni vsi pogoji iz te uredbe, zato ga ni treba izterjati.
Transfer of funds to the beneficiary selected in the tenders
Izterjava se izvaja od datuma, ko so upravičenci prejeli ugodnost, tj. ko je bila pomoč dana na razpolago upravičencu, do datuma dejanske izterjave pa se zaračunavajo obresti.
Andalucía
Komisija ugotavlja, da je Kraljevina Španija nezakonito izvajala pomoč za operaterje prizemne televizijske platforme za razširitev pokritja z digitalno prizemno televizijo na oddaljenih in manj urbaniziranih območjih Španije, pri čemer je kršila člen 108(3) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
Extremadura
Pomoč, vključno s (stalno) pomočjo za upravljanje in vzdrževanje, se izterja od operaterjev platforme, ki so neposredni in posredni upravičenci.
Murcia
To vključuje tudi lokalne korporacije, ki delujejo kot operaterji platform –
La Rioja
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
Valencia
Člen 1
In the cases where illegal aid was granted for the upgrade of the terrestrial network to town councils acting as network operators, the town councils are direct beneficiaries of the aid.
Državna pomoč, ki je bila dodeljena operaterjem prizemne televizijske platforme za uporabo, vzdrževanje in upravljanje digitalnega prizemnega televizijskega omrežja na območju II ter jo je Španija izvajala nezakonito, saj je pri tem kršila člen 108(3) PDEU, ni združljiva z notranjim trgom, z izjemo pomoči, ki je bila dodeljena v skladu z merilom tehnološke nevtralnosti.
The sum to be recovered equals the full amount received by the town councils from the central and regional authorities for the extension of coverage of their network.
Španija nezdružljivo pomoč, dodeljeno na podlagi sheme iz člena 1, izterja od operaterjev digitalne prizemne televizije ne glede na to, ali so pomoč prejeli neposredno ali posredno.
On the basis of the information received from Spain, the Commission has found that this applies at least to town councils located in the Autonomous Communities of Andalucía, Canarias, Extremadura and Murcia (non-exhaustive list).
Za vsote, ki jih je treba izterjati, se od datuma, ko so bile dane na razpolago upravičencem, do datuma izterjave zaračunavajo obresti.
Town councils acting as network operators
Obresti se izračunajo na podlagi obrestnoobrestnega računa v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 [111].
Full amount received from the authorities for extension of coverage
Španija prekliče vsa neizplačana plačila pomoči na podlagi sheme iz člena 1 od datuma uradnega obvestila o tem sklepu.

Člen 4
Canary Islands
Izterjava pomoči, dodeljene na podlagi sheme iz člena 1, je takojšnja in učinkovita.
In Murcia, using the money received from the region and MITyC, the town councils organised almost all of the 143 tenders identified.
Španija zagotovi, da se ta sklep izvede v štirih mesecih po uradnem obvestilu o tem sklepu.
Provided that they are not de minimis, they would fall under this category.
Španija v dveh mesecih po uradnem obvestilu o tem sklepu predloži Komisiji naslednje informacije:
In the cases of Autonomous Communities where a public undertaking acting as a network operator carried out the extension of coverage of the network, such an undertaking is considered to be a direct beneficiary and is subject to recovery.
seznam upravičencev, ki so prejeli pomoč na podlagi sheme iz člena 1, in skupni znesek pomoči, ki jo je na podlagi navedene sheme prejel vsak od njih, po kategorijah iz oddelka 6.2;
The Commission has identified Aragón Telecom, Gestión de Infraestructuras Públicas de Telecomunicaciones del Principado de Asturias, S.A., Multimedia de les Illes Balears S.A., Instituto Tecnologico de Canarias, Sociedad Regional de Cantabria I+D+I (IDICAN), Fundación Centro Tecnológico en Logística Integral de Cantabria (CTL), Promoción de Viviendas, Infraestructuras y Logística, S.A in Castilla y León (Provilsa), Redes de Telecomunicación Galegas Retegal, S.A.

dokumente, ki dokazujejo, da se je od upravičencev zahtevalo vračilo pomoči.
The sum to be recovered is the full amount of funds received from the authorities for the extension.
Španija obvešča Komisijo o napredku nacionalnih ukrepov, ki so bili sprejeti za izvajanje tega sklepa, do izterjave pomoči, dodeljene na podlagi sheme iz člena 1.
In these cases, however, it is not ruled out that the public undertakings carried out part of the extension themselves, and partly contracted the extension to a network operator through a tender.
Na zahtevo Komisije nemudoma predloži informacije o že sprejetih in načrtovanih ukrepih za uskladitev s tem sklepom.
In the latter case the illegal aid was actually transferred to the companies who won the tenders, and they are therefore effective, although indirect, beneficiaries of the aid.
Zagotovi tudi podrobne informacije o zneskih pomoči in obrestih, ki so jih upravičenci že povrnili.
Thus, to avoid double recovery, the illegal aid shall be recovered from the effective beneficiaries, i.e. (a) from the public undertaking for the amount received for the extension minus the funds transferred to network operators following technologically non-neutral tenders for extension of coverage and (b) from the network operators for the amounts contracted following a technologically not neutral tender for extension of coverage organised by the public undertaking concerned.

Winner(s) of the technologically non-neutral tenders for extension of coverage organised by the public undertaking
Treba bi bilo poudariti, da na preiskovanih oddaljenih in manj urbaniziranih območjih v Španiji (Območje II) ni bilo vedno mogoče zagotoviti televizijskega signala prek platforme digitalne prizemne televizije, zato je bil na nekaterih območjih izbran satelitski prenos.

Transfer of funds to the beneficiary selected in the tender
Približno 26 nekodiranih nacionalnih kanalov in približno 30 regionalnih kanalov.
In the case of Madrid, where a tender organised by the public undertaking (AICCM) was provided as an example of a technologically non-neutral tender for extension of coverage (see paragraph 186, the amount of EUR 3622744 granted to the contracted company, Retevision S.A., must be recovered in full from Retevision, as winner of the non-neutral tender, and subtracted from the amount to be recovered from AICCM, the public undertaking which is the direct beneficiary [109].
Glej opombo 3.
The ongoing aid is for the maintenance and operation of DTT networks.
V njem je bila določena obveznost zasebnih izdajateljev televizijskega programa, da do navedenega datuma na svojem območju pokritja dosežejo 96 % prebivalstva, medtem ko so morali javni izdajatelji televizijskega programa na svojem območju pokritja doseči 98 % prebivalstva.
The operators of these networks are the beneficiaries of the maintenance and operation aid.
Na območju I so morali izdajatelji televizijskega programa pokriti te deleže prebivalstva z digitalno prizemno televizijo in sami nositi stroške digitalizacije.
The aid has therefore to be recovered from those network operators.
Zato državna pomoč ni bila potrebna.
In the cases where the individual beneficiaries received funding not exceeding thresholds specified in Regulation (EC) No 1998/2006, such funding is not considered state aid if all the conditions set by this Regulation are fulfilled, and is not subject to recovery.
Nadalje razdeljeni v faze I, II in III.
Recovery shall be effected from the date on which the advantage to the beneficiaries took effect, i.e. when the aid was made available to the beneficiary, and shall bear interest until effective recovery.
Odločitev o razporeditvi sredstev za razvoj širokopasovne povezave in digitalizacije televizije na območju II je bila prepuščena regionalnim organom.
The Commission finds that the Kingdom of Spain has unlawfully implemented the aid for the operators of the terrestrial television platform for the extension of coverage of digital terrestrial television in remote and less urbanised areas of Spain in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
