THE JOINT COMMITTEE,
ob upoštevanju Sporazuma med Evropsko skupnostjo in njenimi državami članicami na eni strani ter Švicarsko konfederacijo na drugi strani o prostem gibanju oseb [1] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Sporazum) in zlasti členov 14 in 18 Sporazuma,
Having regard to the Agreement between the European Community and its Member States, of the one part, and the Swiss Confederation, of the other, on the free movement of persons [1] (‘the Agreement’) and in particular Articles 14 and 18 thereof,

Upoštevati bi bilo treba tudi sklepe in priporočila o izvajanju Uredbe (ES) št. 883/2004 in Uredbe (ES) št. 987/2009, ki jih je sprejela Upravna komisija za koordinacijo sistemov socialne varnosti po začetku veljavnosti Sklepa št. 1/2012 Skupnega odbora.
Account should also be taken of the decisions and recommendations adopted by the Administrative Commission for the Coordination of Social Security Systems to implement Regulation (EC) No 883/2004 and Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 subsequent to the entry into force of Decision No 1/2012 of the Joint Committee.
Prilogo II k Sporazumu bi bilo treba posodobiti v skladu s spremembami ustreznih pravnih aktov Evropske unije –

POSTOPEK
PROCEDURE
Komisija je z dopisom z dne 14. februarja 2005 prejela pritožbo podjetja Dopravní podnik Ústeckého kraje a.s.
By letter dated 14 February 2005, the Commission received a complaint from Dopravní podnik Ústeckého kraje a.s.

Češka republika je pripombe predložila 12. avgusta 2010.
The Czech Republic provided its comments on 12 August 2010.
OPIS UKREPOV
DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURES
Komisija je v sklepu o začetku postopka ugotovila, da ne more oceniti združljivosti številnih ukrepov s Pogodbo, ker so se zadevni ukrepi izvajali pred pristopom Češke republike k Uniji.
In addition, a number of alleged aid measures were granted to those operators in various forms, namely through soft loans, grants, guarantees, increase of equity capital, lease of vehicles, renting of bus stations and the operation of parking meters.
Komisija je zato izrazila pomisleke glede naslednjih ukrepov:
In the Opening Decision, the Commission concluded that it could not assess the compatibility of a number of measures with the Treaty because those measures had been implemented before the Czech Republic acceded to the Union.
nadomestila, ki jih je regija Ústí izplačala nekaterim regionalnim avtobusnim prevoznikom za izpolnjevanje obveznosti javnih služb na področju opravljanja prevoznih storitev v letih 2005 in 2006;
For other measures, the Commission had already found in the Opening Decision that they did not constitute State aid.
nadomestila, ki jih je regija Ústí odobrila nekaterim regionalnim avtobusnim prevoznikom za izpolnjevanje obveznosti javnih služb v obdobju od 9. septembra 2006 do 2. junija 2007;
As a result, the Commission expressed doubts with respect to the following measures:
nadomestila, ki jih je regija Ústí dodelila nekaterim regionalnim avtobusnim prevoznikom za izpolnjevanje obveznosti javnih služb v obdobju od 9. septembra 2006 do 31. decembra 2006;
compensations provided by the Ústí Region to certain regional bus transport operators for discharging public service obligations in the field of transport services in 2005 and 2006;
poroštvi z dne 23. julija 2004 in 11. aprila 2005, ki ju je občina Ústí nad Labem zagotovila podjetju Dopravní podnik města Ústí nad Labem a.s.
compensations granted by the Ústí Region to certain regional bus transport operators for discharging public service obligations for the period of 9 September 2006 to 2 June 2007;
(v nadaljnjem besedilu: podjetje DP Ústí) za zavarovanje posojili v vrednosti 35 milijonov CZK oziroma 5 milijonov CZK;
compensations granted by the Ústí Region to certain regional bus transport operators for discharging public service obligations for the period of 9 September 2006 to 31 December 2006;
povečanje lastniškega kapitala podjetja DP Ústí za 160 milijonov CZK, ki jih je občina Ústí nad Labem zagotovila leta 2006.
guarantees provided by the Municipality of Ústí nad Labem to Dopravní podnik města Ústí nad Labem a.s.
ZADEVNI PRAVNI OKVIR V OBDOBJU 2004–2007
(‘DP Ústí’) dated 23 July 2004 and 11 April 2005 securing loans worth CZK 35 million and CZK 5 million respectively;
V Češki republiki lahko javni avtobusni prevoz opravljajo le prevozniki z licenco.
an increase of equity capital of DP Ústí by CZK 160 million provided by the Municipality of Ústí nad Labem in 2006.
Češka republika ima za izvajanje javnega avtobusnega prevoza dve ureditvi.
RELEVANT LEGAL FRAMEWORK DURING THE PERIOD 2004-2007
Prva ureditev se nanaša na prevozne storitve, ki se opravljajo kot pridobitna dejavnost na podlagi licenc, izdanih prevoznikom, ki so imetniki splošnega dovoljenja („koncese“) za opravljanje dejavnosti javnega avtobusnega prevoza.
In the Czech Republic, public bus transport services can be provided only by operators possessing a license.
Druga ureditev se nanaša na prevozne storitve z obveznostjo javne službe na podlagi licenc za posamezne linije, izdanih prevoznikom, ki so imetniki splošnega dovoljenja („koncese“) za opravljanje dejavnosti javnega avtobusnega prevoza in na podlagi (i) pogodbe za opravljanje obveznosti javne službe ali (ii) sklepa zadevnega organa o uvedbi obveznosti javne službe [4].
There are two regimes for the operation of public bus transport services in the Czech Republic.
Po trditvah čeških organov je licenca dovoljenje, ki ga organi podelijo za opravljanje storitve rednega javnega prevoza.
The first regime concerns transport services provided on a commercial basis based on licences issued to operators who are holders of a general authorisation (‘koncese’) for public bus transport activities.
Namen licence je zagotoviti, da bodo avtobusni prevoz izvajali le prevozniki, ki izpolnjujejo nekatere zahteve glede kakovosti.
The second regime concerns transport services with a public service obligation based on licences for individual lines issued to operators who are holders of a general authorisation (‘koncese’) for public bus transport activities and on (i) a contract for public service obligation, or (ii) a decision of the relevant authority on the imposition of a public service obligation [4].
Te zahteve v skladu z oddelkom 18 Zakona št. 111/1994 Coll. o prevozih v cestnem prometu (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Zakon o prevozih v cestnem prometu [5]) vključujejo zlasti obveznost opravljanja storitev v skladu s sprejetim voznim redom, zagotavljanja določene stopnje varnosti za potnike in objave voznih redov ter označevanja avtobusov z imeni prog.
According to the Czech authorities, the licence constitutes a permission granted by the authorities to operate a regular public transport service.
Storitve regionalnega avtobusnega prevoza v regiji Ústi so bile v obravnavanem obdobju v celoti liberalizirane, saj je lahko v obravnavanem obdobju v Češki republiki storitve regionalnega avtobusnega prevoza opravljal vsak prevoznik iz druge države članice, ki je izpolnjeval pogoje za pridobitev licence.
The aim of such a licence is to guarantee that bus transport will only be carried out by operators who meet certain quality requirements.
Zadevni sistem v sedanji obliki obstaja od leta 2004.
According to section 18 of Act No 111/1994, on road transport (the ‘Road Transport Act’ [5]), those requirements comprise, in particular, the obligation to provide services in accordance with the approved timetable, to ensure a certain level of safety for passengers, and to publish timetables and mark buses with the names of the lines.
Oddelek 19 Zakona o prevozih v cestnem prometu določa, da je treba obveznost javne službe razumeti kot obveznost, ki jo prevoznik izvaja v javnem interesu in je drugače v celoti ali delno ne bi prevzel zaradi gospodarske izgube.
Regional bus transport services were fully liberalised in the Ústi Region during the period under investigation since any operator from another Member State which fulfilled the conditions for obtaining a license could provide regional bus transport services in the Czech Republic during the period under investigation.
Prevoznika za izvajanje obveznosti javne službe pooblastijo zadevni javni organi s pisnim dogovorom [6].
The system in its current form has existed since 2004.
Obveznost javne službe je opredeljena z neposrednim sklicem na člen 14 Uredbe Sveta (EGS) št. 1191/69 [7], ki v odstavku 1 navedenega člena določa, da „pogodba o izvajanju javne službe lahko obsega predvsem: – prevozne storitve, ki zadovoljujejo določene standarde o stalnosti, rednosti, zmogljivosti in kakovosti; – dodatne prevozne storitve; – prevozne storitve po določenih tarifah in ob upoštevanju določenih pogojev, zlasti za določene skupine potnikov ali na določenih progah; – prilagajanje storitev dejanskim potrebam“.
Section 19 of the Road Transport Act provides that a public service obligation is to be understood as meaning an obligation performed by an operator in the public interest which that operator would not otherwise accept or only partially accept due to its economic disadvantages.
Zadevni javni organ mora v skladu z Zakonom o prevozih v cestnem prometu povrniti dokazljivo izgubo, ki jo prevoznik utrpi zaradi izvajanja obveznosti javne službe [8].
Public service obligations are entrusted to the operator by way of a written agreement with the relevant public authorities [6].
Dokazljiva izguba v javnem potniškem prevozu je v skladu z oddelkom 19b navedenega zakona opredeljena kot „razlika med vsoto ekonomsko utemeljenih stroškov in ustreznim dobičkom [9] ter med dobljenimi prejemki in prihodki, ki jih prevoznik ustvari pri izvajanju obveznosti javne službe “.
The public service obligation is defined by a way of direct reference to Article 14 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 [7], which provides in paragraph 1 thereof that ‘a public service contract may cover notably: — transport services satisfying fixed standards of continuity, regularity, capacity and quality; — additional transport services; — transport services at specified rates and subject to specified conditions, in particular for certain categories of passenger or on certain routes; — adjustment of services to actual requirements’.
Oddelek 19(3) Zakona o prevozih v cestnem prometu določa, da prevoznik predloži objektivno oceno dokazljive izgube za celotno obdobje, za katero se sklene pogodba o obveznosti javne službe, kar je obvezna zahteva za sklenitev pogodbe o izvajanju javne službe.
Under the Road Transport Act, the relevant public authority is obliged to compensate the provable loss which the operator suffers as a result of fulfilling the public service obligation [8].
Regija dokazljivo izgubo povrne do zneska, ki ne presega objektivne ocene in ki se poveča le za nepredvidljive dokazljive stroške.
Pursuant to section 19b of that law, the provable loss in public line passenger transport is defined as ‘the difference between the sum of economically substantiated costs and a reasonable profit [9], and the earned receipts and revenue generated by the operator while performing the public service obligation ’.
Ta objektivna ocena dokazljive izgube je ocena pričakovanih izgub, ki jo pred začetkom izvajanja storitev pripravi neodvisni strokovnjak.
Section 19b(3) of the Road Transport Act provides that the operator shall submit an objective estimate of the provable loss for the entire period for which the public service obligation contract is concluded as a mandatory requirement for the conclusion of the public service contract.
V skladu z oddelkom 19b(3) Zakona o prevozih v cestnem prometu javni organi tudi v primeru, da prevoznik po izpolnitvi pogodbe zahteva višjo nadomestilo za izgube, upoštevajo predhodno določeno zgornjo mejo iz strokovne ocene.
The region shall reimburse the provable loss to an amount not exceeding the objective estimate, augmented only by unforeseeable costs.
Če so, nasprotno, dejanske izgube nižje od objektivne ocene dokazljive izgube, se nadomestijo le dejanske izgube.
This objective estimate of the provable loss is an estimate of expected losses drawn up by an independent expert before the service is performed.
Nepredvidljivi stroški, ki nastanejo med izvajanjem pogodbe in jih v času sklenitve pogodbe ni bilo mogoče predvideti, se lahko prav tako nadomestijo.
In accordance with section 19b(3) of the Road Transport Act, even if the operator claims a higher compensation for losses after the performance of the contract, the public authorities will stick to the pre-established ceiling established by that estimate.
Določitev dokazljive izgube, metoda za izračun objektivne ocene dokazljive izgube, pravila za dodelitev sredstev iz ustreznih proračunov, dokumenti, s katerimi je treba utemeljiti izračune dokazljive izgube, in način, na katerega se izvaja vladni nadzor nad financiranjem prevoznih storitev, so opredeljeni z izvedbeno uredbo [10].
If, by contrast, the actual losses are lower than the objective estimate of the provable loss, only the actual losses are compensated.
Regionalni organi, vključno z organi regije Ústí, so od 1. januarja 2003 odgovorni za sklepanje pogodb s prevozniki za opravljanje storitev regionalnega javnega prevoza v Češki republiki.
Unforeseeable costs incurred during the performance of the contract, which could not have been predicted at the time that the contract was concluded, may also be compensated.
Opravljanje splošnih storitev avtobusnega prevoza v Češki republiki je zagotovljeno na dva možna načina:
The determination of the provable loss, the method for calculating the objective estimate of the provable loss, the rules for the allocation of funds from the relevant budgets, the documents through which the calculation of the provable loss must be supported, and the manner in which government supervision is to be exercised over funding of the transport services are determined by an implementing regulation [10].
Osnovne prevozne storitve, ki jih je treba v skladu z oddelkoma 19a in 19b Zakona o prevozih v cestnem prometu razumeti kot storitve za opravljanje regionalnega prevoza, upravljajo zadevni regionalni organi.
As from 1 January 2003, the regional authorities, including those of the Ústí Region, became responsible for concluding contracts with transport operators for the provision of regional public transport services in the Czech Republic.
Dokazljivo izgubo krijejo regije iz svojih proračunov.
The provision of general bus transport services in the Czech Republic is ensured in two possible ways.
Druge prevozne storitve, ki jih je treba v skladu z oddelkom 19c Zakona o prevozih v cestnem prometu razumeti kot izpolnjevanje potreb občin po prevozih in presegajo osnovno prevozno storitev regije, upravljajo občine.
