The Commission notes that this arrangement does not change the basic conditions of the sale, including the sales price and payment terms, which remain the same [79].

COMMENTS FROM GERMANY
V nasprotju z večnamenskimi dvoranami se na dirkališču opravi le ena ali dve seriji tekmovanj na leto.
As regards the situation of NG, MSR and CMHN in the period from May 2012 to July 2012 and the extension of the formal investigation procedure, Germany claims that the Commission had not taken into account the insolvency of NG, MSR and CMHN as a non-reversible consequence of its decision not to approve the rescue aid in the preliminary proceedings [82] and it has thus breached the principle of proportionality [83].
Sodelovanje javnosti je imelo zato tudi spodbujevalni učinek.
For the measures carried out by NG, Germany acknowledges that the resources are imputable to the state [86].
Ciljev ne bi bilo mogoče doseči z nižjo ravnjo financiranja s strani javnega sektorja.
ECONOMIC ACTIVITY
Instalacije so bile stare in jih je bilo treba posodobiti.
Pursuant to Germany, the construction of the tribune, the multifunctional halls, the access structures and the attractions offering education and entertainment (Part I [87] of the Nürburgring 2009 project) is no economic activity as the Leipzig/Halle judgment [88] cannot be applied to the construction of the general (regional and sport) infrastructure [89], the construction concerns facilities for which the criteria of the 2007 White Book on sport of the Commission (multifunctional use, non-discriminatory access, etc.) are met, no private investor would carry out such project and racetracks are regularly not privately constructed for insufficient profitability [90].
Ni bilo podvajanja infrastrukture.
As regards the Formula 1 events, in the view of Germany, they are in principle structurally deficit making, these events cannot be considered as normal business of NG as they led even with the public support to a negative result for NG, this company would not organise these events without the expectation of public financing and the public authorities decided to finance the Formula 1 events through NG at arm's length for regional-policy grounds [91].
V nasprotju s primeri Komisije v zvezi z večnamenskimi dvoranami [106] se preiskovani ukrepi ne nanašajo na novo infrastrukturo ali znatno povečanje zmogljivosti.
Therefore, Germany claims that the organisation of these events cannot be considered as an economic activity of NG.
Vpliv na trgovino in konkurenco je omejen na potrebno raven
If it was aid, Germany claims that the SGEI criteria are met.
Po navedbah Nemčije je vpliv na trgovino in konkurenco majhen ter ni v nasprotju s skupnim interesom.
SELECTIVITY
Kot je izjavilo sodišče v Koblenzu [107], je Nürburgring s stezo Nordschleife edinstven.
Germany argues that even if the financing of the measures was an economic activity, it is not selective because the criteria of the 2007 White Book on sport are met (no single user; non-discriminatory access; multifunctional use and lease under reasonable market-based prices; the infrastructure is not provided by the market because it would not be economical; responsibility of public authorities).
Na dirkališču se že dolgo let organizirajo mednarodni in nacionalni dogodki, zato podpora za športno infrastrukturo na dirkališču Nürburgring ne pomeni prenosa dogodkov na Nürburgring.
ADVANTAGE
Nürburgring gosti le nekaj mednarodnih dogodkov.
Germany admits that it had not found a long-term private investor who would invest in the Nürburgring 2009 project.
Združljivost pomoči v skladu s členom 107(3)(d) PDEU
For measure 1 (payments in capital reserve and capital increases in August 2004, December 2004 and September 2007), Germany argues that the question of an advantage does not matter, because the target of the measure was not an economic activity.
Ukrep v podporo kulturi moto športa je bil potreben, saj ustvarja skupno kulturno identiteto v Nemčiji in Uniji, zasebno financiranje I. dela projekta „Nürburgring 2009“ pa je bilo neuspešno.
As regards measure 2, Germany argues that the level of the interest of NG's loans granted to its subsidiaries (6 %) does not constitute an advantage to the subsidiaries as it is comparable to the interest of loans on the market.
Ukrep je bil tudi sorazmeren, saj se zanj ni plačalo prekomerno nadomestilo.
Regarding measure 3, pursuant to Germany, the measures financed by the liquidity pool in the amount of EUR 170 million [92] were carried out on market-based terms, since: (a) the pool is used by the Land similarly to a market-based holding [93]; (b) NG paid the interests ordinarily;
Podpora ne vpliva na pogoje v zvezi s trgovino in konkurenco na področju kulturnih objektov v obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju s skupnim interesom.
and (c) the funds were fully paid back in connection with measure 8.
Tržni delež kulturnih objektov na dirkališču Nürburgring je omejen, saj so v konkurenci z drugimi regionalnimi ali nacionalnimi kulturnimi objekti.
Germany also indicated that the loans granted by the liquidity pool of the Land to ISB served exclusively to the refinancing of ISB for its own loans to NG (see also recital 70) and that the market conditions of the Land from the transactions of the liquidity pool were not passed on to NG as debtor.
Združljivost pomoči v skladu s členom 107(3)(b) PDEU
For measure 4 (loan granted by NG to MSR), Germany states that the interest rate of 7 % seems to be market conform.
Nemčija trdi tudi, da sta črpanje posojil podjetja NG iz združene likvidnosti in sodelovanje banke ISB v združeni likvidnosti (ukrep 3) združljiva v smislu člena 107(3)(b) PDEU, saj je bilo posojilo takrat skoraj nemogoče pridobiti od realnega gospodarstva zaradi zloma medbančnega trga.
Concerning measure 5 (support provided by NG to CST), Germany puts forward that it is market conform:
Združljivost pomoči v skladu s členom 106(2) PDEU
after the initial financing of the project by NG and MIB under parity conditions, the MIB was later unable to provide the necessary shareholder loans in the same amount as NG.
Nemčija trdi, da so nekateri od naložbenih ukrepov za spodbujanje turizma izpolnjevali takrat veljavne zahteve v zvezi s storitvami splošnega gospodarskega pomena [109] in da ni nobene očitne napake pri presoji.
Since a withdrawal of NG from the project would compromise the timely provision of the ticket system, as well as make worthless in all probability the previous investment of NG, it was preferable for the NG to stick to the planned project under changed conditions, especially as the business plan allowed for expectations for a reasonable return and NG received collaterals from NG.
Natančneje, Nemčija navaja, da imajo deli ringowerka (zlasti moto športna razstava, multimedijsko gledališče Grüne Hölle, ringomeister in testocentre) muzejski značaj in služijo javnemu interesu na področju (kulturnega) izobraževanja, Warsteiner Event Centre se uporablja kot večnamensko središče za kongrese, sejme in konference, parkirna hiša pa ob dnevih, ko ni velikih dogodkov, ni v celoti izkoriščena.
In respect of measure 6 (consideration paid to IPC, and the loan to MSR through PNG as intermediary), Germany argues that the recipients received the respective payments as remuneration to services and as a loan to market equivalent conditions.
Nemčija trdi, da podjetje, ki deluje pod običajnimi tržnimi pogoji, ne bi vlagalo v navedene tri objekte brez javnega financiranja in da neuspešno zasebno financiranje I. dela projekta „Nürburgring 2009“ kaže, da ni trga za izvedbo takih ukrepov.
With regard to measure 7 (cession of MIB's claims against CST to NG), Germany does not deal with questions concerning a potential advantage.
Nemčija trdi, da se organizacija dogodkov formule 1 šteje za storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, saj so ti dogodki javno financirani tudi v drugih državah, so zelo cenjeni, državi članici in celotni Uniji prinašajo makroekonomske učinke ter vplivajo na identiteto.
As regards measure 8 (ISB loan to NG, MSR and CMHN), Germany indicates that ISB has not acted independently (at arm's length) as a (separate) undertaking, but as a support bank receiving explicit instruction from the administration of the Land and being part thereof [94].
Začasni okvir
Pursuant to Germany, the principles of the Agreement II are applicable to the refinancing of the ISB loan [95] through the participation of ISB in the liquidity pool and this participation constitutes therefore no aid in favour of ISB [96].
Nemčija trdi, da so tranše 2, 3 in 4 posojila banke ISB (ukrep 8) združljive z notranjim trgom v skladu s Sporočilom Komisije – Začasni okvir Skupnosti za ukrepe državnih pomoči v podporo dostopu do financiranja ob trenutni finančni in gospodarski krizi [110] ter da bi bila pomoč v korist podjetij NG, MSR in CMHN tudi v primeru, da Komisija sklene, da je bilo podjetje NG 1. julija 2008 podjetje v težavah in da Začasnega okvira ni mogoče uporabiti za navedene tranše, enaka razliki med obrestno mero, ki bi jo bilo treba plačati na trgu, in obrestno mero, ki se je dejansko plačala, ne bi pa bila enaka skupnemu znesku posojila [111].
Regarding measure 9 (guarantee of the Land to ISB concerning measure 8), Germany states that the guarantee in question deals with the share of risk in an internal relationship between ISB and the Land and it provides no advantage to the beneficiaries of the loan (NG, MSR and CMHN), because it did not lead to improved terms of their loan [97].
PRODAJA SREDSTEV
As regards measure 10 (business lease contract concluded on 25 March 2010), Germany submitted an expert opinion of 29 September 2011, commissioned by the Land on the rent for the business lease of the Nürburgring, which established a range of minimum and maximum market conform annual rents.
Nemčija v svojih pripombah trdi, da prodajna struktura ne vključuje državne pomoči kupcu sredstev.
Germany claims that according to that expert opinion, the expected rent is 20 % above the maximum market level and it would cover the lessor's construction costs of EUR 330 million and a reasonable profit [98].
Poleg tega trdi, da je postopek prodaje prekinil gospodarsko kontinuiteto podjetij NG, MSR in CMHN.
As regards loans under measure 11 (loans granted by RIM to MSR with Mediinvest and PNG as intermediaries), by which Part II of the ‘Nürburgring 2009’ project was financed, Germany argues that they are conform with the market economy investor principle and that they do not involve an advantage, since the interest rates applied are above the applicable reference rates (apart from two loans of 12 November 2008 and 22 December 2008).
Zato meni, da če se bo formalni postopek preiskave končal z negativnim sklepom Komisije, ki bo zahteval vračilo nezdružljive pomoči, obveznost vračila, naložena podjetjem NG, MSR in CMHN, ne bo zadevala kupca zadevnih sredstev.
For measure 12 (guarantee of the Land to the loans of RIM to MSR with Mediinvest as intermediary under measure 11), Germany states that the guarantee of the Land only leads to an advantage to the recipients of the loans, but not to an advantage to ISB or RIM, because that guarantee was a requirement for the granting of the loans.
Nazadnje, Nemčija v zvezi s pogojem, v skladu s katerim bo prodaja sredstev Nürburgringa dokončna šele po sprejetju sklepa Komisije, ki ga ne bo mogoče izpodbijati in v katerem bo navedeno, da se od kupca sredstev ne bo zahtevalo vračilo pomoči, trdi, da ta pogoj ni ovira za likvidacijo upravičencev do pomoči in ne pomeni nadaljevanja poslovanja upravičencev ali prednosti za kupca.
As regards measures 13 and 14 (grants from gaming tax for tourism promotion [99] and loans by the Land), Germany does not claim their compliance with the market economy investor principle.
V zvezi s prekinitvijo gospodarske kontinuitete je Nemčija izpostavila naslednje elemente:
Concerning the gaming tax, Germany describes the measure as a compensation for infrastructural costs in connection with the promotion of tourism.
prodaja je bila opravljena na podlagi odprtega, preglednega, nediskriminatornega in brezpogojnega razpisnega postopka, pogodba pa je bila sklenjena s ponudnikom, ki je predložil najvišjo ponudbo, vključno z dokazom o svojih finančnih sredstvih;
Concerning the debt subordination, Germany argues that it has merely a declaratory effect as every shareholder loan is subordinated in the insolvency proceedings anyway, that that subordination led therefore only to a potential effect on the public budget and that it does not therefore constitute an advantage [100].
ekonomski razlogi za prodajo se določijo v postopku zaradi insolventnosti, ki je namenjen poplačilu vseh upnikov s prodajo sredstev Nürburgringa in razdelitvijo izkupička med njimi;
As regards measure 15 (takeover of MSR shares by NG and RIM), Germany claims that it does not constitute an economic advantage for Mediinvest, Geisler & Trimmel and Weber, because:
začetek postopka zaradi insolventnosti, prevzem poslov podjetja NAG s strani podjetja NBG ter prodaja sredstev podjetju Capricorn in poznejša pooblastitev neodvisnega skrbnika za nadzor nad temi sredstvi so pomenili gospodarske prelome, saj se poslovni modeli podjetij NAG, NBG in Capricorn bistveno razlikujejo v smislu uporabe sredstev;
it was carried out at the symbolic price of EUR 1 per share;
podjetje Capricorn in novi lastnik januarja 2015 nista bila gospodarsko ali poslovno povezana s podjetji NG, MSR ali CMHN;
it did not involve any other advantages such as the cancellation of shareholder loans or guarantees of the shareholder;
kupec je pridobil samo sredstva, ne pa delnic ali obveznosti prodajalcev.
NG and RIM took over the shares in MSR as to compile the ownership of Part II with that of Part I of the ‘Nürburgring 2009’ project and to enable a united business concept;
Tudi delnice podjetja NBG niso bile prenesene na kupca;
and d) the question whether MSR was in difficulty at the moment of the transfer has no impact on this assessment, as MSR is a company with limited liability, thus the liability of the shareholders is in any event limited to the capital of the company.
Kakršen koli prenos pogodb o zaposlitvi, povezan s prodanimi sredstvi, bo izveden v skladu z veljavnimi določbami nemške zakonodaje, kar pomeni, da se bo lahko kupec sredstev insolventnih podjetij svobodno odločil glede zaposlovanja osebja;
As far as measure 16 (financing of the losses of NG from the Formula 1 races by the Land) is concerned, Germany states that it is not an economic activity and that the financing of Formula 1 events is generally not profitable.
kar zadeva časovni okvir, so bila sredstva prodana pred sprejetjem sklepa Komisije in
For measure 17 (Formula 1 concession contract), Germany claims that it is linked to the conditions of the business lease contract.
datum prenosa določajo zahteve, ki jih določa zakonodaja o insolventnosti in jih je treba upoštevati v zvezi z najboljšo možno prodajo sredstev.
Germany argues that in view of the rent being considerably ([…] %) over the market level, both contracts have to be considered balanced in their totality (including the benefits of the NAG from the concession contract) [101].
Zaradi narave poslovanja na področju moto športa in narave prodajanih sredstev je Nemčija menila, da se bodo morebitni uspešni kupci ukvarjali s podobnimi dejavnostmi kot podjetja NG, MSR in CMHN.
Measures covered by the decision of 7 August 2012 [102]
Vendar bi imeli morebitni novi lastniki možnost upravljati svoje dejavnosti pod drugačnimi pogoji poslovanja kot podjetja NG, MSR in CMHN, uporabili pa bi svoj poslovni model.
Regarding measure 18 (debt rescheduling), Germany states that it was necessary to avoid the imminent insolvency and that it would have been implemented also by a private shareholder.
Podjetje Capricorn predvideva drugačen koncept uporabe dirkališča na podlagi novega poslovnega načrta.
Concerning measure 19 (debt subordination and guarantee), Germany argues that it does not constitute even a potential burden to the public budget, that it would be implemented also by a private shareholder, and that the debt subordination had no consequences for the shareholders because there were no further substantial creditors.
Poleg tega bo kupec v prihodnje bolj dejaven v smislu organizacije dogodkov na dirkališču Nürburgring.
DISTORTION OF COMPETITION AND EFFECT ON TRADE
Nürburgring se bo glede na načrte kupca spremenil iz turistične zanimivosti v tehnološko središče.
COMPATIBILITY
noben potencialni vlagatelj ali finančni partner ne bi privolil v pridobitev sredstev, če ne bi bilo takega predpogoja;
Facilities of the race ring
glede na nemško zakonodajo o insolventnosti [112] morajo stečajni upravitelji zagotoviti, da se sredstva dolžnika likvidirajo po najboljši možni stopnji ali da se namesto tega v stečajnem načrtu določi ureditev, ki pa bi imela za posledico dodatno državno pomoč podjetjem Nürburgringa;
Germany claims that the Nürburgring is crucial for the economy and employment in the region, that it is an important facility dedicated predominantly to amateur sport, that it is part of the German motorsport history and German culture and thus also part of the cultural heritage of the Union, that it has an impact on traffic safety in the whole world, as cars tested on that track are exported worldwide, that its driving centre offers a safe driving training, and that the investigated measures do not relate to the racetrack as such, but rather to the sport and non-sport infrastructure other than the racetrack and to the organisation of Formula 1 races.
najemnik bo upravljal najeta sredstva pod svojim imenom, na podlagi svojega poslovnega načrta in z zaposlenimi, ki jih bo izbral sam, ter
Compatibility of aid under 107(3)(c) TFEU
[drugi ponudnik] je v svojo ponudbo vključil podoben pogoj, v sladu s katerim bi ponujene cene plačal šele po sprejetju sklepa Komisije, ki ga ne bi bilo mogoče izpodbijati in bi navajal, da se od kupca sredstev ne bo zahtevalo vračilo pomoči.
Objective of common interest
[Tretji ponudnik] pa je vključil pogoj, v skladu s katerim bi lahko odstopil od prodaje, če do 31. decembra 2014 ne bi bil sprejet pozitiven sklep Komisije, ter
Germany argues that the construction of sport facilities can be regarded as a common interest in view of Article 165 TFEU [104] and that measures enabling access to sport could be supported [105].
če sklep Komisije, ki ga ne bo mogoče izpodbijati, ne bo sprejet do začetka leta 2015 in se bodo prodana sredstva pred 1. januarjem 2015 prenesla na novo podjetje, v katerem bo 95,1 % delnic v lasti kupca, 4,9 % pa v lasti neodvisnega skrbnika (glej uvodno izjavo 56), to ne bo pomenilo nadaljevanja dejavnosti upravičencev, ampak bo zagotovilo njihov dokončni izstop s trga.
The Nürburgring features not only few professional events but also amateur events and motorsport training of youth.
Nemčija zaključuje, da zaradi tega postopka ni gospodarske kontinuitete med podjetji NG, MSR in CMHN ter sredstvi, prodanimi v razpisnem postopku.
Nürburgring is used also for other sport events such as cycling (Rad&Run), running (Fisherman's Friend StrongmanRun) and triathlon (Green Hell Triathlon).
Zato bi bilo treba vračilo morebitne nezdružljive državne pomoči, ki so jo prejela podjetja NG, MSR in CMHN, zahtevati od teh podjetij po sprejetju ustreznega sklepa Komisije, vračilo pa ne bi zadevalo kupca prodanih sredstev.
Necessity and proportionality of the measures
Nemčija trdi tudi, da predpogoj iz prodajne pogodbe med prodajalci in kupcem ni ovira za likvidacijo podjetij Nürburgringa in za izterjavo pretekle pomoči od njih.
Germany states that the measures are necessary for the following reasons:
Upravičenci do pomoči bodo dokončno izginili s trga.
Out of […] event days, Nürburgring is used for professional sport only on […] days, for amateur sport on […] days and for both amateur and professional sport on […] days.
Če bo prodaja podjetju Capricorn razveljavljena, se bodo sredstva vseeno prodala, prodajalci pa bodo likvidirani.
The amateur sportsmen represent more than […] ([…] professionals versus […] amateurs).
Nemčija je Komisijo obvestila o prodajni strukturi, da bi zagotovila pravno varnost glede tega, da prodaja sredstev ne bi vključevala državne pomoči in da morebitni uspešni kupci ne bi bili odgovorni za vračilo nezdružljive državne pomoči.
Non-amateur events are Formula 1, German Touring Car Championship, Superbike World Championship, the music event Rock am Ring and the test driving of the car manufacturers.
Nemčija se je poleg tega zavezala, da bo Komisiji poročala o izvajanju postopka prodaje.
Amateurs can go for a ride with their own cars.
Poročila je pošiljala redno.
At weekends, amateur competitions of large German motorsport associations (such as ADAC) are organised.
Ta poročila so potrdila, da je bil postopek prodaje izveden v skladu z načeli, o katerih se je razpravljalo s Komisijo.
During the week individual clubs use the tracks for training or amateur competitions.
Komisiji so zagotovila tudi informacije o ponudnikih, njihovih ponudbah, končni prodajni ceni in drugih pomembnih zadevah.
In motorsport, there is no separate infrastructure for professional and amateur sport.
PRITOŽBE V ZVEZI S PRODAJO SREDSTEV
Moreover, the measures under investigation serve to the elimination of a market failure.
PRITOŽBA PODJETJA JA ZUM NÜRBURGRING E.V.
A return on investment cannot be expected.
(PRVI PRITOŽNIK)
In contrast to multifunctional arenas, only one or two series of a competition take place every year.
Pritožba
No private investor would construct and finance such infrastructure.
Prvi pritožnik trdi, da zasnova razpisnega postopka za prodajo sredstev podjetij NG, MSR in CMHN (tj. skupna prodaja dirkalne steze, nastanitvenih objektov in zabaviščnega parka) ni bila primerna za odpravo izkrivljanja konkurence na zadevnih trgih, saj je bil njen cilj zagotoviti nespremenjeno delovanje kompleksa ter prenos večine zaposlenih podjetij NG, MSR in CMHN na kupca sredstev.
The participation of private enterprises in the financing of Part I of the ‘Nürburgring 2009’ project failed.
Poleg tega prvi pritožnik navaja, da insolventna podjetja v postopkih zaradi insolventnosti z lastnim upravljanjem („Eigenverwaltung“) same opravijo prodajo, stečajni upravitelj („Sachwalter“) pa jih pri tem samo nadzoruje [113], da se od ponudnikov običajno ne zahteva, da predložijo ločene ponudbe za posamezne skupine sredstev, in da so ponudbe za vsa sredstva sprejemljive.
Public engagement had thus also an incentive effect.
Prvi pritožnik trdi tudi, da bi se pomoč prenesla na kupca sredstev, saj bi se vsa sredstva, približno 300 zaposlenih in tekoči posli podjetja NBG prenesli na enega ponudnika, kar bi ustvarilo gospodarsko kontinuiteto med starim in novim lastnikom/upravljavcem.
Without the explicit political will of the Land government, NG would not implement the modernisation and expansion of the sport infrastructure in the same extent.
Poleg tega trdi, da so prodajalci zaradi merila čim večjega povečanja vrednosti vseh sredstev dali prednost ponudbam za vsa sredstva, ponudbe za posamezna sredstva pa so bile diskriminirane.
In addition, Germany argues that the financing of the measures is proportional.
Nadalje, prvi pritožnik trdi, da merila za dodelitev in finančni podatki o dobičku podjetja NG niso dovolj pregledni ter da so bili nekateri ponudniki diskriminirani, zlasti zato, ker je bil dostop do virtualne podatkovne sobe omejen na pet ponudnikov.
The installations were old and required modernisation.
Prvi pritožnik zahteva prekinitev razpisnega postopka in njegov ponovni začetek z jasnimi merili za dodelitev, opredelitev dirkališča kot storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena ter njegovo ločitev od prodaje nastanitvenih objektov in zabaviščnega parka.
