natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
The figures show a constant decline in the number of culturally British games and a sharp fall in their share of the market from 9 % of all games released in the United Kingdom in 2003 to 4 % in 2006, staying at 3 % from 2009 to 2012.
Tudi delež upravičenih iger med videoigrami, izdelanimi v Združenem kraljestvu, je razmeroma majhen, saj znaša približno 27 %.
Culturally significant games may have production costs equal to global games but a significantly smaller market.
Poleg tega nobena potencialno prizadeta tretja stran ni opozorila na morebiten škodljiv učinek ukrepa.
Their production thus involves a higher economic risk.
Nasprotno, združenji proizvajalcev videoiger TIGA in EGDF, ki sta predložili pripombe po začetku postopka, sta poudarili majhen učinek ukrepa na njuni nacionalni industriji in splošni učinek ukrepa ob upoštevanju konkurence predvsem iz Severne Amerike in z Daljnega vzhoda.
Thus video games with culturally British/European content are less commercially viable than those with more globalised content.
Zato bi bilo tekmovanje za subvencije med državami članicami razmeroma malo verjetno.
Therefore the market places constant pressure on games developers in Europe not to emphasise the culturally European elements of their game in order to sell to a global audience.
V vsakem primeru je koristno, da je Združeno kraljestvo omejilo trajanje sheme na štiri leta, tako da bo mogoče oceniti njeno uporabo in ponovno proučiti merila ob upoštevanju tržnega razvoja.
Developers of culturally European games find it more difficult to obtain private funding.
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da so bili odpravljeni dvomi iz sklepa o začetku postopka.
The proposed tax relief should promote the production of video games with a cultural content as opposed to games that are purely for entertainment in that it would reduce the former’s production costs.
Izkrivljanje konkurence in učinek ukrepa na trgovino med državami članicami sta zdaj omejena tako, da nista v nasprotju s skupnimi interesi.
There is, therefore, reason to conclude that the measure is likely to have a sufficient incentive effect relative to its objective.
SKLEPNA UGOTOVITEV
Furthermore the aid measure is proportionate as it limits the aid intensity to 25 % of production costs effectively incurred in the manufacture of eligible games.
Komisija zato ocenjuje, da učinek pomoči ne bo neupravičena krepitev tržne moči upravičenih podjetij ali omejevanje dinamičnih spodbud za udeležence na trgu, ampak povečanje raznolikosti ponudbe na trgu.
This is lower than the aid intensity of 50 % permitted for audiovisual production, according to paragraph 52(1) of the Cinema communication which applies by analogy as far as the permissible aid intensity is concerned.
Zato je primerno sklepati, da so izkrivljanje konkurence in učinki ukrepa na trgovino omejeni, tako da je splošni rezultat pomoči pozitiven.
Finally, in order not to affect trading conditions and competition in the Union to an extent contrary to the common interest, the distortions of competition and the effects on trade triggered by the measure should be offset by its positive effects.
Davčna olajšava za izdelavo videoiger je torej v skladu s členom 107(3)(d) Pogodbe združljiva z notranjim trgom –
According to the figures provided by the United Kingdom and representatives of the sector, in 2012 less than 10 % of United Kingdom released games were developed in the United Kingdom.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
The market shares of eligible games published in the United Kingdom is rather small (4-5 %).
Člen 1
Also the proportion of eligible games among the video games manufactured in the United Kingdom is, at around 27 %, relatively small.
Ukrep državne pomoči, ki ga namerava Združeno kraljestvo izvesti za videoigre s spremembo Zakona o davku od dohodka pravnih oseb iz leta 2009, je združljiv z notranjim trgom v smislu člena 107(3)(d) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
Furthermore, no potentially affected third party pointed to a possible adverse effect of the measure.
Izvedba ukrepa pomoči se zato odobri.
On the contrary, the associations of video game manufacturers that submitted comments following the initiation of the procedure, TIGA and EGDF, underscored the small impact of the measure on their national industries and its overall impact in the face of competition mainly from North America and the Far East.
Člen 2
Therefore a subsidy race among Member States would be rather unlikely.
Ta sklep je naslovljen na Združeno kraljestvo Velika Britanija in Severna Irska.
In any case, it is useful that the United Kingdom is limiting the duration of the scheme to four years to allow an evaluation of its application and a reassessment of the criteria in view of the market developments.
V Bruslju, 27. marca 2014
The Commission consequently finds that the doubts raised in the opening decision have been addressed.
Za Komisijo
The distortions of competition and the effect of the measure on trade between Member States are now limited so that they are not contrary to the common interest.

CONCLUSION
Odločitev Komisije v Zadevi SA.36139 – Davčna olajšava Združenega kraljestva za video igre (UL C 152, 30.5.2013, str.
The Commission therefore takes the view that the aid will not have the effect of unduly strengthening the market power of beneficiary firms or of hampering dynamic incentives for market operators but, on the contrary, it will increase the diversity of supply on the market.
24).
There are grounds, therefore, for concluding that the distortions of competition and the effects on trade that the measure will have are limited so that the overall aid assessment is positive.

Glede morebitnega izkrivljanja konkurence med državami članicami je združenje TIGA priznalo, da nižji stroški vplivajo na odločitve o lokaciji družb, ki proizvajajo videoigre, vendar je menilo, da bi glavno izkrivljanje izhajalo iz tretjih držav, kot je Kanada, v katerih bi industrija rastla zaradi javne podpore.

Podpora produkciji videoiger na podlagi odobritve organa HMRC z davčno olajšavo zagotavlja finančno prednost podjetjem v sektorju produkcije videoiger na stroške proračuna finančnega ministrstva, zato se odobri iz državnih sredstev in gre v breme države.

Whereas:
ob upoštevanju Sporazuma o Evropskem gospodarskem prostoru in zlasti člena 62(1)(a) Sporazuma,
PROCEDURE
ob upoštevanju naslednjega:
By letter dated 7 June 2006, the Commission notified Poland of its decision to open a formal investigation procedure under Article 88(2) EC in the above State aid case.
POSTOPEK
On 23 October 2007, the Commission Decision 2008/344/EC [1] (‘the decision’) was adopted in which the Commission concluded that State aid received by steel producer Technologie Buczek Group (‘TB Group’) was incompatible with the common market and ordered Poland to recover it from TB Group’s constituent entities, i.e. the mother company Technologie Buczek S.A.
Z dopisom z dne 7. junija 2006 je Komisija uradno obvestila Poljsko o svoji odločitvi, da v zvezi z navedeno državno pomočjo začne formalni postopek preiskave v skladu s členom 88(2) PES.
(‘TB’) and its subsidiaries Huta Buczek sp. z o.o.
Komisija je 23. oktobra 2007 sprejela Odločbo 2008/344/ES [1] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: odločba), s katero je sklenila, da državna pomoč, ki jo je prejel proizvajalec jekla, skupina Technologie Buczek (v nadaljnjem besedilu: skupina TB), ni združljiva s skupnim trgom, ter Poljski naložila izterjavo te pomoči od posameznih podjetij skupine TB, tj. matične družbe Technologie Buczek S.A. (v nadaljnjem besedilu: TB) in njenih odvisnih družb Huta Buczek sp. z o.o.
(‘HB’) and Buczek Automotive sp. z o.o.
(v nadaljnjem besedilu: HB) in Buczek Automotive sp. z o.o.
(‘BA’) in proportion to the benefit actually obtained.
(v nadaljnjem besedilu: BA), sorazmerno s pomočjo, ki so jo dejansko prejele.
On 8 January 2008, BA applied to the General Court for the partial annulment of the decision.
Družba BA je 8. januarja 2008 pri Splošnem sodišču vložila tožbo za razglasitev delne ničnosti odločbe.
TB and HB submitted separate applications but later withdrew their actions.
Družbi HB in TB sta vložili ločeni tožbi, vendar sta ju pozneje umaknili.
By ruling of 17 May 2011 [2], the General Court annulled the decision in so far as BA is concerned (see detailed description below in recital 7).
S sodbo z dne 17. maja 2011 [2] je Splošno sodišče razglasilo ničnost odločbe v delu, ki se nanaša na družbo BA (podrobnosti so v uvodni izjavi 7).
On 21 March 2013, the Court of Justice dismissed the appeal brought by the Commission against the judgment by the General Court [3].
Sodišče je 21. marca 2013 zavrnilo pritožbo, ki jo je Komisija vložila zoper sodbo Splošnega sodišča [3].
As a result of the annulment of the decision in so far BA is concerned, the formal investigation procedure C23/06 has not been closed, and the Commission had to resume that procedure from the point at which the illegality had occurred.
Zaradi razglasitve ničnosti odločbe v delu, ki se nanaša na družbo BA, formalni postopek preiskave C23/06 še ni zaključen, Komisija pa je morala postopek obnoviti od točke, na kateri je bila ugotovljena nezakonitost.
The Commission requested information from Poland on 22 April 2013, 12 June 2013 and 27 November 2013, to which Poland replied on 8 May 2013, 26 July 2013 and 10 February 2014.
Komisija je od Poljske zahtevala podatke 22. aprila 2013, 12. junija 2013 in 27. novembra 2013, Poljska pa je na te zahtevke odgovorila z dopisi z dne 8. maja 2013, 26. julija 2013 in 10. februarja 2014.
The Court annulled:
Sodišče je razglasilo za nične:
Article 1 of the decision which declares the State aid in the amount of PLN 20761643 unlawfully granted to the TB Group to be incompatible with the common market,
člen 1 odločbe, v skladu s katerim državna pomoč v znesku 20761643 PLN, ki je bila nezakonito dodeljena skupini TB, ni združljiva s skupnim trgom,
Article 3(1) and (3) of the decision, which lay down the amounts of aid to be recovered from HB and BA individually, in so far as those paragraphs relate to BA [4],Articles 4 and 5 of the decision, which contain implementing provisions, in so far as those Articles relate to BA.
člen 3(1) in (3) odločbe, v katerem so določeni zneski pomoči, ki jih je treba izterjati od družb HB in BA, v delu, ki se nanaša na družbo BA [4],člena 4 in 5 odločbe, ki vsebujeta izvedbene določbe, v delih, ki se nanašajo na družbo BA.
Since Article 1 of the decision refers to the TB Group as a whole, whereas the remaining annulled articles single out BA, the Commission considers it necessary to recall first to what extent the annulment of the decision affects the other members of the TB Group, i.e. TB and HB.
Ker se člen 1 odločbe nanaša na skupino TB kot celoto, preostali členi pa so bili razglašeni za nične zgolj v delu, ki se nanaša na družbo BA, Komisija meni, da je treba najprej spomniti, v kolikšni meri razglasitev ničnosti odločbe zadeva drugi članici skupine, tj. družbi TB in HB.
The Commission recalls the judgment in Case T-227/95 (AssiDomän Kraft Products and Others v Commission [1997] ECR II-01185, paragraphs 59 and 60), in which the Court held that, if an addressee [of a Commission Decision] decides to bring an action for annulment, the Community judicature has before it only the elements of the decision which relate to that addressee.
Komisija opozarja na sodbo v zadevi T-227/95 (AssiDomän Kraft Products in drugi proti Komisiji, Recueil 1997, str.
The unchallenged elements of the decision relating to other addressees, on the other hand, do not form part of the subject-matter of the dispute which the Court is called on to resolve.
II-1185, točki 59 in 60), v kateri je Sodišče menilo, da če naslovnik [odločbe Komisije] vloži ničnostno tožbo, sodišče Skupnosti odloča le o delih odločbe, ki se nanašajo na tega naslovnika.
In an action for annulment, the Court can give judgment only on the subject-matter of the dispute referred to it by the parties.
Neizpodbijani deli odločbe, ki se nanašajo na druge naslovnike, pa ne spadajo v predmet spora, o katerem naj bi Sodišče presojalo.
A decision can be annulled only as regards the addressees who have been successful in their actions before the Court.
V primeru ničnostne tožbe lahko Sodišče odloča samo o predmetu spora, ki ga predložita stranki.
As mentioned above in recital 3, TB and HB withdrew their actions before the General Court and therefore the decision has become definitive in their regard, including the obligation of Poland to recover unlawful aid.
Odločba se lahko razglasi za nično samo v zvezi z naslovniki, ki so uspeli v tožbi pred Sodiščem.
The Polish authorities have confirmed that TB repaid PLN 13963560,74, which accounts for the full amount of the aid to be recovered from TB, as well as for part of the aid to be recovered from HB.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 3, sta družbi HB in TB umaknili svoji tožbi pred Splošnim sodiščem, zato je odločba v zvezi z njima postala dokončna, vključno z obveznostjo Poljske, da izterja nezakonito dodeljeno pomoč.
HB was declared insolvent and all relevant public authorities registered their claims in the bankruptcy mass.
Poljski organi so potrdili, da je družba TB vrnila 13963560,74 PLN, kar ustreza celotnemu znesku pomoči, ki ga je treba izterjati od družbe TB, ter delu pomoči, ki jo je treba izterjati od družbe HB.
The liquidation procedure is pending.
Nad družbo HB je bil začet stečajni postopek in vsi ustrezni javni organi so prijavili svoje terjatve v stečajno maso.
The Polish authorities have confirmed that following the annulment, the aid repaid by TB has not been returned to it and claims against HB have not been erased from the bankruptcy mass.
Postopek likvidacije še ni zaključen.
For those reasons, the formal investigation procedure remains open only with regard to BA.
Poljski organi so potrdili, da pomoč, ki jo je vrnila družba TB, po razglasitvi ničnosti ni bila vrnjena tej družbi in da terjatve do družbe HB niso bile umaknjene iz stečajne mase.
The Commission notes the information from Poland that BA was declared bankrupt on 28 September 2012 and was erased from the commercial register of companies on 16 November 2012.
Zato formalni postopek preiskave ostaja odprt le v zvezi z družbo BA.
Poland informed the Commission that the assets of BA, which formed its bankruptcy mass, were sold individually (not in bundles constituting whole business), in tender procedures ensuring the achievement of market prices.
Komisija se seznanja z informacijo Poljske, da je bil nad družbo BA 28. septembra 2012 uveden stečajni postopek in da je bila 16. novembra 2012 izbrisana iz registra gospodarskih družb.
Neither the employees of BA, nor its suppliers or customers were transferred to any of the acquiring entities in the way which might indicate economic continuity of BA.
Poljska je Komisijo obvestila, da se je premoženje družbe BA, ki je bilo del stečajne mase, prodalo posamično (in ne kot celotno podjetje ali njegov samostojni del), in sicer v razpisnih postopkih, s katerimi so se zagotovile tržne cene.
Poland also informed the Commission that in the course of the bankruptcy proceedings the administrator liquidated all the assets of BA.
Niti zaposleni niti dobavitelji ali stranke družbe BA niso bili preneseni na katerega od prevzemnih subjektov na način, ki bi kazal na nadaljevanje dejavnosti družbe BA.
After closure of the proceedings there are no more assets of BA left that could conceivably be acquired by other undertakings.
Poljska je Komisijo tudi obvestila, da je stečajni upravitelj v okviru stečajnega postopka unovčil celotno premoženje družbe BA.
On the basis of those elements, the Commission concludes that there are no undertakings that might be considered to be economic successors of BA.
Po zaključku postopka ni ostalo nobeno premoženje družbe BA, ki bi ga lahko prevzela druga podjetja.
The formal investigation procedure in the present case has therefore become devoid of purpose, as even if the aid was to be declared incompatible with the internal market, there would be no means of recovering the aid in question,
Na podlagi navedenega Komisija ugotavlja, da ni podjetja, ki bi ga bilo mogoče šteti za gospodarskega naslednika družbe BA.
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Formalni postopek preiskave v tej zadevi je zato postal brezpredmeten, saj pomoči ne bi bilo mogoče izterjati, tudi če bi bila razglašena za nezdružljivo z notranjim trgom –
The formal investigation procedure under Article 108(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, initiated on 7 June 2006 and which remains open with regard to Buczek Automotive sp. z o.o. following General Court’s judgment in case T-1/08 of 17 May 2011 as confirmed by the Court of Justice judgment in case C-405/11P of 21 March 2013, is hereby closed, because the procedure has become devoid of purpose following the liquidation of Buczek Automotive sp. z o.o.
Člen 1
Article 2
Formalni postopek preiskave na podlagi člena 108(2) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije, ki je bil uveden 7. junija 2006 in je po sodbi Splošnega sodišča v zadevi T-1/08 z dne 17. maja 2011, ki jo je potrdila sodba Sodišča v zadevi C-405/11P z dne 21. marca 2013, ostal odprt za družbo Buczek Automotive sp. z.o.o., se zaključi, ker je postopek po likvidaciji družbe Buczek Automotive sp. z.o.o. postal brezpredmeten.
This Decision is addressed to the Republic of Poland.

Having called on interested parties to submit their comments pursuant to the provisions cited above [1] and having regard to their comments,
po pozivu vsem zainteresiranim stranem, naj predložijo pripombe v skladu z navedenima členoma [1], in ob upoštevanju teh pripomb,
Since 2006, the Directorate-General for Competition has carried out each year an ex-post monitoring exercise of a sample of aid measures implemented by Member States.
GD za konkurenco od leta 2006 opravlja letna naknadna spremljanja vzorca ukrepov pomoči, ki jih izvajajo države članice.
This scheme was included in the 2009/2010 monitoring exercise under reference MX 17/2009, in the context of which the Commission examined how Member States had implemented a sample of existing schemes in 2009.
Glede na informacije, ki so jih med postopkom spremljanja predložili španski organi, je Komisija dvomila, da so shemo pravilno izvajali.
