As regards infrastructure, a number of measures taken by Member States might not constitute aid because they do not fulfil all the criteria of Article 107(1) of the TFEU, for example because the beneficiary does not carry out an economic activity, because there is no effect on trade between Member States, or because the measure consists of compensation for a service of general economic interest which fulfils all the criteria of the Altmark case-law [4].
Številni ukrepi na področju infrastrukture, ki jih sprejmejo države članice, ne pomenijo državne pomoči, ker ne izpolnjujejo vseh meril iz člena 107(1) PDEU, na primer zato, ker prejemnik ne izvaja gospodarske dejavnosti, ukrep ne vpliva na trgovino med državami članicami ali je ukrep kompenzacija za storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, ki izpolnjuje vsa merila iz sodne prakse v zvezi z zadevo Altmark [4].
However, to the extent that the financing of infrastructure constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU, Member States are required to notify it to the Commission.
Če pa financiranje infrastrukture pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU, morajo države članice o tem obvestiti Komisijo.
With regard to infrastructure, small amounts of aid for infrastructure projects can be an efficient way of supporting the Union’s objectives, to the extent the aid minimises costs and the potential distortion of competition is limited.
Kar zadeva infrastrukturo, so lahko majhni zneski pomoči za infrastrukturne projekte učinkovit način podpiranja ciljev Unije, če ta pomoč zmanjšuje stroške in je morebitno izkrivljanje konkurence omejeno.
The Commission should therefore be able to exempt State aid for infrastructure projects that are in support of the objectives mentioned in this Regulation and in support of other objectives of common interest, in particular the Europe 2020 objectives [5].
Komisija bi zato morala imeti možnost, da izvzame državno pomoč za infrastrukturne projekte, ki prispevajo k uresničitvi ciljev te uredbe ter drugih ciljev skupnega interesa, zlasti v okviru strategije Evropa 2020 [5].
This could include support for projects involving multi-sectoral networks or facilities where relatively small amounts of aid are necessary.
To bi lahko zajemalo podporo za projekte, ki vključujejo večsektorska omrežja, ali objekte, za katere je potrebno razmeroma malo pomoči.
However, block exemptions can only be granted for infrastructure projects where the Commission has enough experience to define clear and strict compatibility criteria, ensuring that the risk of potential distortion of competition is limited and that large amounts of aid remain subject to notification pursuant to Article 108(3) of the TFEU.
Vendar pa se lahko skupinske izjeme za infrastrukturne projekte odobrijo le, če ima Komisija dovolj izkušenj, da določi jasna in stroga merila združljivosti, ki zagotavljajo, da je možnost morebitnih izkrivljanj omejena in da za velike zneske pomoči še naprej velja obveznost obveščanja iz člena 108(3) PDEU.
Therefore, the scope of Regulation (EC) No 994/98 should be extended to include new categories of aid.
Področje uporabe Uredbe (ES) št. 994/98 bi bilo zato treba razširiti na nove vrste pomoči.
This inclusion does not affect the qualification of a measure as State aid in categories or sectors where Member States are already active.
Ta vključitev ne vpliva na opredelitev ukrepa kot državne pomoči v okviru vrst in sektorjev, v katerih so države članice že dejavne.
Regulation (EC) No 994/98 requires the thresholds for each category of aid in respect of which the Commission adopts a block exemption regulation to be expressed either in terms of aid intensities in relation to a set of eligible costs, or in terms of maximum aid amounts.
Komisija mora v skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 994/98 za vsako vrsto pomoči, za katero sprejme uredbo o skupinski izjemi, navesti prage, izražene bodisi v intenzivnosti pomoči v zvezi z nizom upravičenih stroškov bodisi v najvišjih zneskih pomoči.
This condition makes it difficult to exempt in block certain types of measures involving State aid which, because of the specific way in which they are designed, cannot be expressed precisely in terms of the aid intensities or maximum amounts of aid; such as financial engineering instruments or certain forms of measures aimed to promote risk capital investments.
Ta pogoj otežuje skupinsko izvzemanje nekaterih vrst ukrepov državne pomoči, ki jih zaradi posebne zasnove ni mogoče natančno izraziti v intenzivnosti ali najvišjih zneskih pomoči, na primer instrumentov finančnega inženiringa ali nekaterih vrst ukrepov za spodbujanje naložb tveganega kapitala.
This is in particular due to the fact that such complex measures may involve aid at different levels: direct beneficiaries, intermediate beneficiaries and indirect beneficiaries.
Vzrok za to je zlasti dejstvo, da lahko takšni kompleksni ukrepi vključujejo pomoč na različnih ravneh: neposredni upravičenci, vmesni upravičenci in posredni upravičenci.
Given the increasing importance of such measures and their contribution to the Union’s objectives, there should be more flexibility to make it possible to exempt them.
Ker so ti ukrepi in njihov prispevek vse bolj pomembni za uresničevanje ciljev Unije, je potrebna večja prožnost, da jih bo mogoče izvzeti.
It should therefore be possible, in the case of such measures, to define the thresholds for a particular award of aid in terms of the maximum level of State support in or related to that measure.
V primeru takšnih ukrepov bi zato bilo treba zagotoviti, da se pragovi za dodelitev določene pomoči lahko izrazijo tudi z najvišjo stopnjo državne podpore v okviru zadevnega ukrepa ali v zvezi z njim.
The maximum level of State support may comprise of an element of support, which may not be State aid, provided that the measure includes at least some elements that contain State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU and which elements are not marginal.
Najvišja stopnja državne podpore lahko zajema elemente podpore, ki niso državna pomoč, če ukrep vključuje vsaj nekaj elementov, ki vsebujejo državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU in niso zanemarljivi.
Regulation (EC) No 994/98 requires Member States to provide summaries of information concerning aid implemented by them which is covered by an exemption regulation.
Države članice morajo v skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 994/98 predložiti povzetke informacij o pomoči, ki so jo dodelile na podlagi uredb o skupinskih izjemah.
The publication of those summaries is necessary to ensure the transparency of the measures adopted by the Member States.
Objava teh povzetkov je potrebna za zagotovitev preglednosti ukrepov, ki jih sprejmejo države članice.
Their publication in the Official Journal of the European Union was the most effective means for ensuring transparency at the time Regulation (EC) No 994/98 was adopted.
V času sprejetja Uredbe (ES) št. 994/98 je bila objava v Uradnem listu Evropske unije najučinkovitejše sredstvo za zagotavljanje preglednosti.
However, with the growth of electronic communication media, publication of the summaries on the website of the Commission is a faster and more effective method, with added transparency for the benefit of interested parties.
Zaradi razvoja sredstev elektronskega obveščanja pa je zdaj hitreje in učinkoviteje, če se te povzetke objavi na spletišču Komisije, kar povečuje tudi preglednost v korist zainteresiranih strani.
Therefore, instead of being published in the Official Journal, those summaries should be published on the website of the Commission.
Namesto v Uradnem listu bi bilo torej treba te povzetke objavljati na spletišču Komisije.
Similarly, draft regulations and other documents to be examined by the Advisory Committee on State Aid in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 994/98 should be published on the website of the Commission, rather than in the Official Journal, to ensure greater transparency and to reduce the administrative burden and the delay in publication.
Podobno bi bilo treba na spletišču Komisije in ne v Uradnem listu objavljati tudi osnutke uredb in druge dokumente, ki jih mora pregledati Svetovalni odbor za državno pomoč v skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 994/98, da se zagotovi večja preglednost ter zmanjšajo upravna obremenitev in zamude pri objavi.
The consultation procedure established in Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 994/98 provides that the Advisory Committee on State Aid be consulted before publication of a draft regulation.
Postopek posvetovanja iz člena 8 Uredbe (ES) št. 994/98 določa, da se je treba pred objavo osnutkov uredb posvetovati s Svetovalnim odborom za državno pomoč.
However, in the interest of greater transparency, the draft regulation should be published on the website of the Commission at the same time as the Commission consults the Advisory Committee for the first time.
Zaradi večje preglednosti pa bi bilo treba osnutke uredb objaviti na spletu že med prvim posvetovanjem Komisije s Svetovalnim odborom.
Regulation (EC) No 994/98 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Uredbo (ES) št. 994/98 bi bilo zato treba ustrezno spremeniti –
Regulation (EC) No 994/98 is amended as follows:

Council Regulation (EU) No 734/2013
Uredba Sveta (EU) št. 734/2013
amending Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty
o spremembi Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 93 Pogodbe ES
In the context of a thorough modernisation of State aid rules, to contribute both to the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy for growth [1] and to budgetary consolidation, Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) should be applied effectively and uniformly throughout the Union.
V okviru temeljite posodobitve predpisov o državni pomoči, da bi prispevali k izvajanju strategije Evropa 2020 za rast [1] ter konsolidaciji proračuna, bi bilo treba po vsej Uniji učinkovito in enotno uporabljati člen 107 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije (PDEU).
Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 [2] codified and reinforced the Commission’s previous practice of increasing legal certainty and supporting the development of State aid policy in a transparent environment.
Z Uredbo Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 [2] je bila kodificirana in okrepljena nekdanja praksa Komisije za povečanje pravne varnosti in za podporo razvoju politike državne pomoči v preglednem okolju.
However, in the light of the experience gained in its application and of recent developments such as the enlargement of the Union and the economic and financial crisis, certain aspects of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 should be amended in order to enable the Commission to be more effective.
Vendar pa bi bilo treba glede na izkušnje, pridobljene pri uporabi navedene uredbe, in nedavni razvoj dogodkov, kot sta širitev Unije ter gospodarska in finančna kriza, nekatere vidike Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999 spremeniti in tako omogočiti večjo učinkovitost Komisije.
In order to assess the compatibility with the internal market of any notified or unlawful State aid for which the Commission has exclusive competence under Article 108 of the TFEU, it is appropriate to ensure that the Commission has the power, for the purposes of enforcing the State aid rules, to request all necessary market information from any Member State, undertaking or association of undertakings whenever it has doubts as to the compatibility of the measure concerned with the Union rules, and has therefore initiated the formal investigation procedure.
Da bi lahko ocenili združljivost katere koli priglašene ali nezakonite državne pomoči z notranjim trgom, za katero je po členu 108 PDEU pristojna izključno Komisija, je primerno zagotoviti, da ima Komisija pri izvrševanju predpisov o državni pomoči pooblastilo, da zahteva vse potrebne tržne podatke od katere koli države članice, podjetja ali združenja podjetij, kadar dvomi o združljivosti zadevnega ukrepa s pravili Unije in je zato začela formalni postopek preiskave.
In particular, the Commission should use this power in cases in which a complex substantive assessment appears necessary.
Komisija bi morala to pooblastilo uporabiti zlasti, če je potrebna kompleksna vsebinska ocena.
In deciding whether to use this power, the Commission should take due account of the duration of the preliminary investigation.
Komisija bi morala pri odločanju, ali bo uporabila to pooblastilo, ustrezno upoštevati čas, potreben za predhodno preiskavo.
For the purpose of assessing the compatibility of an aid measure after the initiation of the formal investigation procedure, in particular as regards technically complex cases subject to substantive assessment, the Commission should be able, by simple request or by decision, to require any Member State, undertaking or association of undertakings to provide all market information necessary for completing its assessment, if the information provided by the Member State concerned during the course of the preliminary investigation is not sufficient, taking due account of the principle of proportionality, in particular for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Komisiji bi moralo biti omogočeno, da pri ocenjevanju združljivosti ukrepa pomoči po začetku formalnega postopka preiskave, zlasti kadar gre za tehnično kompleksne zadeve, za katere je treba opraviti vsebinsko oceno, s preprostim zahtevkom ali sklepom od katere koli države članice, podjetja ali združenja podjetij zahteva vse tržne podatke, potrebne za dokončanje ocene, če zadevna država članica med predhodno preiskavo ni zagotovila zadostnih podatkov, pri čemer je treba zlasti pri malih in srednjih podjetjih ustrezno upoštevati načelo sorazmernosti.
In the light of the special relationship between aid beneficiaries and the Member State concerned, the Commission should be able to request information from an aid beneficiary only in agreement with the Member State concerned.
Zaradi posebnega razmerja med upravičencem do pomoči in zadevno državo članico bi moralo biti Komisiji omogočeno, da zahteva podatke od upravičenca do pomoči le, če se s tem strinja zadevna država članica.
The provision of information by the beneficiary of the aid measure in question does not constitute a legal basis for bilateral negotiations between the Commission and the beneficiary in question.
Dejstvo, da upravičenec do zadevnega ukrepa pomoči zagotavlja podatke, ne predstavlja pravne podlage za dvostranska pogajanja med Komisijo in zadevnim upravičencem.
The Commission should select the addressees of information requests on the basis of objective criteria appropriate to each case, while ensuring that, when the request is addressed to a sample of undertakings or associations thereof, the sample of respondents is representative within each category.
Komisija bi morala naslovnike zahtevkov za podatke izbrati po objektivnih merilih, prilagojenih vsakemu primeru, ter zagotoviti, da bo, kadar bo zahtevek naslovljen na vzorec podjetij ali združenj podjetij, ta vzorec reprezentativen za vsako kategorijo.
The information sought should consist, in particular, of factual company and market data and facts-based analysis of the functioning of the market.
Zahtevani bi morali biti predvsem faktografski in tržni podatki podjetja ter analiza delovanja trga, podprta z dejstvi.
The Commission, as the initiator of the procedure, should be responsible for verifying both the information transmission by the Member States, undertakings or associations of undertakings, and the purported confidentiality of the information to be disclosed.
Komisija bi morala biti kot začetnica postopka odgovorna za preverjanje prenosa podatkov s strani držav članic, podjetij ali združenj podjetij ter tajnosti, ki naj bi veljala za razkrivanje podatkov.
The Commission should be able to enforce compliance with the requests for information it addresses to any undertaking or association of undertakings, as appropriate, by means of proportionate fines and periodic penalty payments.
Komisija bi morala biti po potrebi pooblaščena za izvrševanje skladnosti z zahtevami po podatkih, ki so bile naslovljene na katero koli podjetje ali združenje podjetij, z uporabo sorazmernih glob in periodičnih denarnih kazni.
In setting the amounts of fines and periodic penalty payments, the Commission should take due account of the principles of proportionality and appropriateness, in particular as regards small and medium-sized enterprises.
Komisija bi morala pri določanju zneskov glob in periodičnih denarnih kazni upoštevati načela sorazmernosti in ustreznosti, zlasti pri malih in srednjih podjetjih.
The rights of the parties requested to provide information should be safeguarded by giving them the opportunity to make known their views before any decision imposing fines or periodic penalty payments is taken.
Pravice strank, od katerih se zahtevajo podatki, bi bilo treba zaščititi, zato bi morale imeti možnost, da pred sprejetjem kakršnega koli sklepa o naložitvi glob ali periodičnih denarnih kazni izrazijo svoja stališča.
The Court of Justice of the European Union should have unlimited jurisdiction with regard to such fines and periodic penalties pursuant to Article 261 of the TFEU.
Sodišče Evropske unije bi moralo imeti neomejeno pristojnost glede teh glob ali periodičnih denarnih kazni v skladu s členom 261 PDEU.
Taking due account of the principles of proportionality and appropriateness, the Commission should be able to reduce the periodic penalty payments or waive them entirely, when addressees of requests provide the information requested, albeit after the expiry of the deadline.
Komisija bi morala imeti možnost, da ob ustreznem upoštevanju načel sorazmernosti in ustreznosti zniža periodične denarne kazni ali jih v celoti opusti, ko naslovniki zagotovijo zahtevane informacije, tudi če je rok že potekel.
