In particular, Ducroire/Delcredere would have been unable to obtain such capital on the market since the return on the investment was insufficient.
Ker je družba ONDD (za račun Belgije) nezakonito izvajala ukrep 3 v nasprotju s členom 108(3) PDEU in ker ta pomoč ni združljiva z notranjim trgom, jo je treba vrniti.
This means that without the capital provided by the State via the ONDD, Ducroire/Delcredere would have been unable to extend its activities on the market as it did.
Vračilo te pomoči mora biti financirano iz dejavnosti družbe Ducroire/Delcredere na področju tržnih tveganj –
In this respect, point 3.2 of the Communication on export-credit insurance states that the provision of capital by the State to certain undertakings, which constitutes state aid if the State is not acting in accordance with the market economy investor principle, distorts competition.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
According to the case law of the Court of Justice, an improvement in the competitive position of an undertaking as a result of state aid generally constitutes proof that competition with other undertakings which have not received similar aid is being distorted [86].
Člen 1
The support given by the State to the ONDD in the form of a capital contribution for marketable risks distorts or threatens to distort competition.
Jamstvo, ki ga je Belgija dodelila družbi ONDD, ni koristilo dejavnosti družbe ONDD na področju tržnih tveganj, zato ne pomeni pomoči.
Effect on trade between Member States
Člen 2
Ducroire/Delcredere is in competition with other European Union undertakings in the credit insurance market.
Notranji prenosi sredstev na dejavnost na področju tržnega tveganja v družbi ONDD, katerih obstoj ni bil dokazan, ne pomenijo pomoči.
The same applied to the ONDD as far as marketable risks were concerned before it transferred its credit insurance business for short-term risks, including marketable risks, to Ducroire/Delcredere.
Člen 3
Moreover, the ONDD and Ducroire/Delcredere operate in the other Member States, mainly as a result of the acquisition of KUP, the commercial arm of the Czech national export-credit insurance agency.
Začetni kapital v višini 113,4 milijona EUR, ki ga je družba ONDD dodelila družbi Ducroire/Delcredere, ne pomeni pomoči.
Point 3.2 of the Communication on export-credit insurance states that, when the State gives a guarantee or capital to an export credit insurance organisation, in relation to marketable risks, without behaving as a private investor would in a market economy, that guarantee or capital constitutes aid which distorts intra-Community trade.
Člen 4
According to settled case law, there is an effect on trade between Member States where the undertaking in receipt of aid carries on its activities in a sector which is open to competition and in which there is trade between Member States [87].
Začetni kapital v višini 36,6 milijona EUR, ki ga je družba ONDD družbi Ducroire/Delcredere dodelila 23. septembra 2004 v nasprotju s členom 108(3) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije, pomeni nezakonito pomoč, ki ni združljiva z notranjim trgom v smislu Pogodbe.
The fact that, at the start of this procedure, a competitor from a Member State other than Belgium complained about the distortion of competition as a result of Ducroire/Delcredere's actions in a third Member State (the Czech Republic) simply confirms that Ducroire/Delcredere is active in a sector subject to trade between Member States.
Člen 5
Trade between Member States is therefore sufficiently affected by Measure 3.
Belgija preko družbe ONDD od družbe Ducroire/Delcredere izterja pomoč iz člena 4.
In the light of the above, Measure 3 constitutes aid.
Zneski, ki jih je treba vrniti, vključujejo obresti, ki tečejo od datuma, ko so bili zneski dani na razpolago družbi Ducroire/Delcredere (1. januarja 2005), do datuma, ko so bili dejansko vrnjeni.
The Commission considers that this aid is new aid which was not notified to it beforehand and is, therefore, illegal.
Obresti se izračunajo na podlagi obrestnoobrestnega računa v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 [91].
The ONDD subscribed the capital in question in September 2004 and the short-term risk activity (including marketable risks) was transferred to Ducroire/Delcredere on 1 January 2005.
Vračilo pomoči se izvede takoj in učinkovito.
This measure:
Člen 6
is therefore later than the date of 17 September 1998, after which Belgium is required not to grant new aid as a result of its acceptance of the Communication on export-credit insurance, and
Nemudoma je treba uvesti ločeno upravo in ločene račune za dejavnost na področju netržnih tveganj in dejavnost na področju tržnih tveganj ter ju ohranjati vse dokler dejavnost na področju netržnih tveganj prejema državno podporo.
does not qualify for the limitation period set out in Article 15 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 of 22 March 1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty since it was adopted less than ten years ago.
Člen 7
The part of the capital granted by the ONDD to Ducroire/Delcredere (EUR 36,6 million) which was not notified to the Commission beforehand, thus constitutes illegal new aid from the beginning.
Belgija v dveh mesecih od datuma uradnega obvestila o tem sklepu Komisiji predloži naslednje informacije:
ASSESSMENT OF THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE POTENTIAL AID WITH THE INTERNAL MARKET (194) The Commission has verified the compatibility of Measure 3 in accordance with the provisions in the Communication on export-credit insurance applicable at the time.
skupni znesek (glavnica in obresti), ki ga je treba izterjati od družbe Ducroire/Delcredere;
The new Communication to Member States concerning the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to short-term export-credit insurance (hereinafter: ‘the new Communication on export-credit insurance’), published on 19 December 2012, applies from 1 January 2013.
podroben opis že sprejetih in načrtovanih ukrepov za uskladitev s tem sklepom;
In principle, according to points 3.2 and 4.1 of the Communication on export-credit insurance, the exemptions set out in the Treaty provisions on state aid do not apply to aid granted for the insurance of marketable risks.
dokumente, ki dokazujejo, da se je od družbe Ducroire/Delcredere uradno zahtevalo vračilo pomoči.
This aid clearly distorts competition between insurers, but above all leads to ‘variations in the insurance cover available for marketable risks in different Member States, thereby distorting competition between companies in Member States and having secondary effects on intra-Community trade regardless of whether intra-Community exports outside the Community are concerned.
Belgija Komisijo obvešča o napredku nacionalnih ukrepov, sprejetih za izvajanje tega sklepa, dokler pomoč iz člena 4 ni v celoti izterjana.
The exceptions provided for in Article 92 of the Treaty do not apply to aid for the insurance of marketable risks.
Na zahtevo Komisije takoj predloži informacije o že sprejetih in načrtovanih ukrepih za uskladitev s tem sklepom.
The distorting effects of such aid in the Community outweigh any possible national or Community interest in supporting exports’ [88].
Prav tako predloži podrobne podatke o zneskih pomoči in obrestih pri izterjavi, ki jih je družba Ducroire/Delcredere že vrnila.
In other words, this aid is not in principle eligible for any of the exemptions set out in Article 107(3) of the TFEU, in particular that provided for in Article 107(3)(c), because it constitutes too great a distortion of competition in the internal market.
Člen 8
Moreover, the aid in question does not meet the conditions of eligibility for one or more of the exemptions provided for in Article 107(3) of the TFEU.
Belgija sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe za izvedbo tega sklepa v štirih mesecih od datuma uradnega obvestila.
In particular, as stated in the opening decision, the aid in question cannot constitute rescue or restructuring aid according to the Community guidelines on state aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty [89], essentially for the following reasons:
Člen 9
The Belgian authorities have not proved that Ducroire/Delcredere was eligible for such aid, for instance that it was in difficulty within the meaning of the guidelines on state aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty.
Ta sklep je naslovljen na Kraljevino Belgijo.
It should also be noted that, according to point 12 of those guidelines, a newly created firm is not eligible for rescue or restructuring aid.
V Bruslju, 20. marca 2013
The aid was not confined to the minimum necessary.
Za Komisijo
In particular, the capital allocation to Ducroire/Delcredere was sufficiently large to enable it to carry out acquisitions.
Podpredsednik
The business plan presented in 2004 in the form of internal memos did not envisage an own contribution by the beneficiary.
Z učinkom od 1. decembra 2009 sta člena 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES postala člena 107 in 108 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije („PDEU“).
The business plan for Ducroire/Delcredere did not contain any measures to limit distortions of competition.
Člena sta vsebinsko enaka prejšnjima členoma.
There is nothing in the provisions of the new Communication on export-credit insurance that would change the Commission's assessment.
V tem sklepu je treba sklicevanje na člena 107 in 108 PDEU razumeti kot sklicevanje na člen 87 oziroma člen 88 Pogodbe ES, kadar je to primerno.
Consequently, the measure at issue cannot be declared compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3) of the TFEU.
S PDEU so bile uvedene tudi nekatere spremembe terminologije, pri čemer je besedo „Skupnost“ na primer nadomestila beseda „Unija“, besedno zvezo „skupni trg“„notranji trg“, besedno zvezo „Sodišče prve stopnje“ pa „Splošno sodišče“.
THE OBLIGATION TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN A SEPARATE ADMINISTRATION AND SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
V tem sklepu se uporablja terminologija iz PDEU.
According to point 4.3 of the Communication on export-credit insurance, where a non-marketable risk activity receives state support, the company will have to keep a separate administration and separate accounts for its insurance of marketable risks and non-marketable risks so as to ensure that the capital allocated to the non-marketable risk activity does not benefit the marketable risk activity, thereby distorting competition.
UL C 163, 1.6.2011, str. 1.
According to the Belgian authorities, Ducroire/Delcredere has been engaged in the short-term risk business since 1 January 2005, based on the transfer of an existing business with its existing capital (without an additional capital allocation).
Zaupni podatek.
In the alternative, Belgium considers that the capital was granted on terms acceptable to a private investor.
UL C 281, 17.9.1997, str. 4.
Since, according to the Belgian authorities, Ducroire/Delcredere does not receive state support — even for the non-marketable risk activity it operates — it is, according to those authorities, not necessary to establish separate accounts.
Z začetkom veljavnosti od 1. januarja 2013 Komisija uporablja novo sporočilo Komisije državam članicam o uporabi členov 107 in 108 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije za kratkoročno zavarovanje izvoznih kreditov, ki je bilo objavljeno 19. decembra 2012 (UL C 392, 19.12.2012, str. 1).
In section V.1.1.2 it was concluded that the capital allocated to the transferred activity amounted to EUR [45-75] million and that there was therefore an additional capital of EUR [75-100] million, of which EUR [35-65] million de facto benefited the non-marketable risk activity.
Javnih ali zasebnih.
The Belgian authorities' argument that the non-marketable risk activity does not receive state support must therefore be rejected since the existence of additional capital which partly benefited the non-marketable risk activity has been proven.
Glej strani 60 in 69 Priloge 8 k dokumentu „Observations by Belgium on the Decision by the European Commission of 24 February 2011“ (Ugotovitve Belgije glede sklepa Evropske komisije z dne 24. februarja 2011), ki so ga belgijski organi predložili 1. junija 2011.
In addition, the 2004 financial projections for Ducroire/Delcredere's entire business envisaged an expected profitability lower than the risk-free rate at the time [90].
Glej oddelek 4.1.2.2.1 sklepa o začetku postopka.
The expected profitability was therefore insufficient to satisfy the requirements of a private investor in a market economy.
Ta izključeni kapital, povezan z netržnimi tveganji, obsega kapital družbe Ducroire/Delcredere, ki je po prenosu zavarovanja pred kratkoročnimi tveganji na družbo Ducroire/Delcredere podpiral zavarovanje tveganj pri dolžnikih, registriranih v Romuniji in Bolgariji; tista tveganja so bila v tistem času netržna, saj sta se državi Evropski uniji pridružili 1. januarja 2007, torej po tem, ko so bili zavarovalni posli preneseni na družbo Ducroire/Delcredere.
It can therefore be concluded that the non-marketable risk activity has continued to benefit from state support.
Glej odločbo Komisije z dne 21. decembra 2005 v zadevi N 531/2005 „Ukrepi v zvezi z ustanovitvijo in delovanjem Banque Postale“, točka 54 ( UL C 21, 28.1.2006, str. 2), na voljo na: http://ec.europa.eu/eu_law/state_aids/comp-2005/n531-05.pdf.
Since the non-marketable risk activity has received and is receiving state support, Ducroire/Delcredere should from its establishment have complied with point 4.3 of the Communication on export-credit insurance imposing a separate administration and separate accounts making it possible to distinguish between the activities relating to non-marketable risks and those relating to marketable risks, and this as long as it carries on its activity relating to marketable risks.
Po navedbah belgijskih organov je družba ONDD krila tveganja pri dolžnikih v območju 1 do leta 1993 ([…], glej opombo 24), od takrat naprej pa tega kritja ne nudi več.
This obligation is maintained in the provisions of the new Communication on export-credit insurance (see point 15 of the new Communication on export-credit insurance).
Družba ONDD tudi pred letom 1993 ni imela obsežnega portfelja tržnih tveganj.
Ducroire/Delcredere was and therefore still is bound by this obligation.
Glej primer na straneh 13–14 dokumenta „Observations by Belgium on the Decision by the European Commission of 24 February 2011“ (Ugotovitve Belgije glede sklepa Evropske komisije z dne 24. februarja 2011), ki so ga belgijski organi predložili 1. junija 2011.
A separate administration and separate accounts for the non-marketable and the marketable risk activities must therefore be introduced immediately.
Komisija za bančništvo, finance in zavarovanja (Commission bancaire, financière et des assurances – CBFA) je bila ustanovljena s priključitvijo inšpektorata za zavarovalništvo (Office de contrôle des assurances – OCA) Komisiji za bančništvo in finance (Commission bancaire et financière – CBF) 1. januarja 2004.
Otherwise, the support amounting to EUR [35-65] million granted to the non-marketable risk activity would no longer escape from classification as aid.
Pojasnilo Komisije: trditev belgijskih organov se nanaša na pravilo de minimis.
The conclusion of this Decision that this amount of EUR [35-65] million supports the non-marketable risk activity is based on certain assumptions that are in some cases impossible to verify in a context of retrospective reconstruction of separate accounts (there is no formal separation of accounts within Ducroire/Delcredere).
Člen 108(3) PDEU določa, da je treba državno pomoč priglasiti Komisiji, ki nato ob upoštevanju člena 107(1) PDEU ugotavlja, ali je pomoč združljiva z notranjim trgom.
The Commission will no longer accept such a retrospective reconstruction if it must again examine the use of Ducroire/Delcredere's capital in future.
Na podlagi pravila de minimis pomoči, ki je dodeljena za obdobje treh let in ne presega določenega zneska, ni treba priglasiti.
The purpose of the obligation to keep a separate administration and separate accounts is precisely to avoid having to resort to such retrospective reconstruction which is, by necessity, based on a number of assumptions that are partially unverifiable.
V času izvajanja ukrepa 1 in ukrepa 2 je bila z Uredbo Komisije (EC) št. 69/2001 z dne 12. januarja 2001 o uporabi členov 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES pri de minimis pomoči (UL L 10, 13.1.2001, str. 30) zgornja meja določena na 100000 EUR.
This Decision and in particular the calculation of the amount of EUR 36,6 million are based on separate accounts (balance sheet and profit and loss accounts) for marketable and non-marketable risks at 31 December 2011 as submitted by the Belgian authorities in May 2012.
Glej opombo 14.
It would not be acceptable, therefore, if the introduction of a separate administration and separate accounts were to be based on assumptions and methods other than those used to determine the amounts submitted in the context of this procedure.
Glej stran 7 odgovora Belgije na dopis Evropske komisije z dne 7. decembra 2007, ki so ga belgijski organi predložili 12. februarja 2008 (belgijski organi se nanj sklicujejo na strani 14 njihovega dopisa z dne 1. junija 2011).
In particular, it would not be acceptable to allocate less capital to the non-marketable risk activity (and thus more capital to the marketable risk activity) than that set out in the separate balance sheet at 31 December 2011 submitted by the Belgian authorities in May 2012.
Glej dokument „Observations by Belgium on the Decision by the European Commission of 24 February 2011“ (Ugotovitve Belgije glede sklepa Evropske komisije z dne 24. februarja 2011), ki so ga belgijski organi predložili 1. junija 2011, str.
In the alternative, the Commission would emphasise that the absence of separate accounts since the establishment of Ducroire/Delcredere has made the examination of Measure 3 considerably more complicated and forced the Commission to conduct its analysis on the basis of certain assumptions.
22–24.
Given that the obligation to keep separate accounts lay with Ducroire/Delcredere, it can hardly reproach the Commission for having made certain assumptions or having developed a complex approach as part of its analysis.
Belgijski organi so podrobnosti o prenesenih postavkah predložili 14. februarja 2007 na strani 3 svojega odgovora na dopis Komisije z dne 17. januarja 2007 v zadevi CP 8/2007 (SA.22302), navedene pa so v uvodni izjavi 70 sklepa o začetku postopka.
In the absence of such a complex approach, the Commission could simply have considered that the entire EUR [75-100] million constituted an advantage within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU.
UL L 77, 20.3.2002, str. 17.
THE OBLIGATION THAT THE NON-MARKETABLE ACTIVITY SHOULD NOT CONTRIBUTE TO REPAYING THE AID
Glej odgovor na vprašalnik Evropske komisije z dne 28. julija 2011, ki so ga belgijski organi predložili 5. decembra 2011, str. 9–11 (podrobne izračune so predložili 14. novembra 2011).
In this Decision, the Commission has excluded from qualification as aid that part of the capital which de facto benefits the non-marketable risk activity, even though this part of the capital constituted support that did not meet the requirements of a private investor.
Uradni list Belgije, 4. oktober 1939.
The amount of the incompatible aid therefore does not include the support for non-marketable activities.
Glede poslov družbe ONDD, ki jih je opravila za lastni račun z jamstvom države.
Following the logic of this Decision, the repayment of the incompatible aid should therefore be financed strictly by the marketable activity and the related capital, as this is the only way of restoring the competitive situation in the market for marketable risks that existed before the incompatible aid was granted.
Glej odgovor na vprašalnik Evropske komisije z dne 28. julija 2011, ki so ga belgijski organi predložili 5. decembra 2011, str. 16.
As indicated above, this recovery must be made on the basis of separate accounts in a manner consistent with the comments by the Belgian authorities of May 2012.
Glej Prilogo B14 k odgovoru na vprašalnik Evropske komisije z dne 28. julija 2011, ki so ga belgijski organi predložili 5. decembra 2011.
CONCLUSIONS
Glej dokument „Observations by Belgium on the Decision by the European Commission of 24 February 2011“ (Ugotovitve Belgije glede sklepa Evropske komisije z dne 24. februarja 2011), ki so ga belgijski organi predložili 1. junija 2011, str. 10: „Selon les catégories utilisées par l'ONDD, […]“.
The Commission finds that, of the three measures which were the subject of the formal investigation procedure, Measures 1 and 2 (the state guarantee and the potential internal transfers of resources to marketable risks within the ONDD) do not constitute state aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU.
Glej Prilogo 8 (str. 70) in Prilogo 13 k dokumentu „Observations by Belgium on the Decision by the European Commission of 24 February 2011“ (Ugotovitve Belgije glede sklepa Evropske komisije z dne 24. februarja 2011), ki so ga belgijski organi predložili 1. junija 2011.
However, the analysis of Measure 3 makes it possible to conclude as to the existence of state aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU amounting to EUR 36,6 million.
Glej stran 28 strateškega dokumenta z dne 28. septembra 2004 z naslovom „Strategy guidelines for the ONDD and its subsidiary“ (Strateške smernice za družbo ONDD in njeno podružnico; Lignes directrices stratégiques pour l'ONDD et sa SA), ki je bil predložen upravnemu odboru družbe ONDD in naveden v Prilogi 10 k dokumentu „Observations by Belgium on the Decision by the European Commission of 24 February 2011“ (Ugotovitve Belgije glede sklepa Evropske komisije z dne 24. februarja 2011), ki so ga belgijski organi predložili 1. junija 2011.
Since the ONDD (for the account of the Belgian State) illegally implemented Measure 3 in breach of Article 108(3) of the TFEU and since this aid is incompatible with the internal market, it must be recovered.
UL L 335, 17.12.2009, str. 1.
The repayment of this aid must be financed by Ducroire/Delcredere's marketable risk activity,
Direktiva Solventnost II je začela veljati 6. januarja 2010.
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Solventnost II je evropska regulativna reforma zavarovalniškega sektorja.
Article 1
Kot pri Baslu II je cilj ustreznejša prilagoditev lastnih sredstev zavarovalnic in pozavarovalnic tveganjem, s katerimi se srečujejo pri svojem poslovanju.
Since the guarantee granted by Belgium to the ONDD did not benefit the ONDD's marketable risk activity, it does not constitute aid.
Po direktivi Solventnost I, ki je določila minimalni kapital v skladu z odstotki premij in zahtevkov, je ureditev zavarovalništva prevzela zapletenejša pravila, ki vključujejo tveganje z uporabo standardne formule ali upoštevanjem notranjega modela.
Article 2
Pristop s standardno formulo je trenutno v fazi oblikovanja in kalibriranja v okviru študij o kvantitativnih posledicah (v nadaljnjem besedilu: QIS).
Any internal transfers of resources to the marketable risk activity within the ONDD, the existence of which has not been proved, do not constitute aid.
Odbor evropskih nadzornikov za zavarovanja in poklicne pokojnine (CEIOPS) bo lahko preko teh posvetovanj preskusil predlagane formule in kalibracije.
Article 3
Družbe, ki želijo uporabiti notranji model, morajo potrditev nadzornega organa pridobiti pred dejanskim izračunom zahtevanega solventnostnega kapitala z uporabo njihovega notranjega modela.
The initial capital allocation granted by the ONDD to Ducroire/Delcredere amounting to EUR 113,4 million does not constitute aid.
Glej odgovor na vprašalnik Evropske komisije z dne 28. julija 2011, ki so ga belgijski organi predložili 5. decembra 2011, str. 22.
Article 4
