In this light, the Commission is of the opinion that in the present case the operation of the terrestrial broadcasting network does not fall within the State's obligations or prerogatives nor is it a typical activity that could only be performed by the State.
Neposredni upravičenci pomoči
The services under consideration are not typically those of a public authority and are in themselves economic in nature, which is evidenced by the fact that several undertakings are active on the market in the Area I. Second, a private undertaking, not dependent on any public authorities — namely Astra (as evidenced by its presence as a bidder in the 2008 tender in Cantabria) — was interested in providing this service in Area II.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 36 in 37, JCCM ni organizirala regionalnih razpisov za posodobitev analognih omrežij ali razširitev pokritja z digitalno televizijo.
Astra's complaint also covers the region of Castilla-La Mancha, where it is interested in providing digital broadcasting services as a platform operator.
Namesto tega so bila ta sredstva dodeljena neposredno občinskim organom ali obstoječim prizemnim operaterjem.
Third, the deployment of the network in Area II only concerns the transmission of national and regional private channels [55].
Občinski organi so nato operaterje za opravljanje te naloge izbrali brez javnega razpisa.
As a result, it is concluded that the operation of the terrestrial network by the Autonomous Communities, public undertakings and municipalities does not fall within the exercise of official powers as a public authority.
Drugi operaterji prizemnih ali drugih platform tako niso bili ustrezno obveščeni o ukrepu in zato niso mogli predložiti tehničnega predloga za posodobitev infrastrukture ali razširitev pokritja z digitalno televizijo na območju II v regiji [56].
The Commission disagrees with JCCM that the measure is in line with the Market Economy Investor Principle (MEIP).
Družbi Abertis in Telecom CLM sta prejeli sredstva za posodobitev in razširitev njunega omrežja ali pa so z njima stopili v stik občinski organi, da bi izvedli taka dela na zadevni infrastrukturi [57].
This test considers whether a market investor would have invested in the project on the same terms and conditions as the public investor at the time when the decision to make the public investment was taken.
V obeh primerih sta bila operaterja izbrana brez javnega razpisa.
In the current case, the public investment is the JCCM's funding of the digitisation of terrestrial broadcasting networks of Telecom CLM and Abertis.
V večini primerov je oprema digitalne prizemne televizije, nameščena na stolpih operaterjev, v lasti občinskih organov.
Where the equipment remains the ownership of the public authorities (municipalities), it is operated by the former companies.
Operaterji od občinskih organov ne prejemajo nadomestil za uporabo te opreme.
The agreement with the operators does not provide for a reimbursement of the funds or for a remuneration of the equipment owned by the public authorities.
Družba Telecom CLM je z JCCM neposredno sklenila 133 sporazumov o sodelovanju v zvezi z digitalizacijo svojih centrov za razpošiljanje signala.
This contradicts directly the concept of a private investor who would not only require such reimbursement/remuneration but in addition also a return on the investment itself.
To se je štelo kot potrebno zaradi razširitve digitalne prizemne televizije na podeželskih območjih, kjer je gostota prebivalstva nizka in noben operater ni kazal zanimanja za naložbe.
The public funding of the DTT network was not meant to be a profitable investment by itself.
Iz pregleda stroškov družbe Telecom CLM, nastalih po prejemu sredstev, ki jih je prenesla JCCM, je razvidno, da je družba ta sredstva porabila izključno za nakup in namestitev opreme digitalne prizemne televizije ter za nadaljnje vzdrževanje opreme v obdobju, ki je enako prvima dvema letoma.
As a result, the JCCM's investment in the digitisation of the terrestrial network in Area II does not fulfil the MEIP.
Družbi Telecom CLM in Abertis sta tako posodobili del njunih obstoječih centrov za razpošiljanje signala in lahko na podlagi javne subvencije zdaj upravljata omrežje digitalne prizemne televizije na območju II.
An economic advantage therefore exists where the operator receives public funds to digitise its own equipment or build new emission centres.
Novo infrastrukturo lahko uporabljata tudi za zagotavljanje drugih storitev, na primer WiMax (brezžični širokopasovni standardi, ki zagotavljajo fiksno ali mobilno širokopasovno povezavo).
Second, where a public authority directly selects (i.e. without public tender) an operator for the provision of DTT equipment and O&M services, this is not done on market terms.
Družba Telecom CLM je svoje centre […] in več digitaliziranih centrov, ki so v lasti občinskih organov, uporabila za namestitev opreme JCCM Wimax […] [58].
This also grants an economic advantage to the operator.
Zaradi teh ekonomij obsega lahko omrežni operaterji digitalne prizemne televizije prejmejo prihodke iz javno financirane infrastrukture […].
Direct beneficiaries of the aid
Količinsko opredeljiva prednost neposrednih upravičenk, tj. družb Telecom CLM in Abertis, pomeni skupni znesek sredstev, prejetih za razširitev pokritja (vključno s sredstvi, prejetimi za posodobitev ali gradnjo novih centrov za razpošiljanje signala).
As set out in recitals 36 and 37, JCCM did not organise any regional tender for the upgrading of analogue networks or for the extension of coverage of digital television.
Kadar so občinski organi sami delovali kot omrežni operaterji, so prejeli javna sredstva za digitalizacijo centrov za razpošiljanje signala na njihovih območjih in za gradnjo novih.
Instead, these funds were attributed directly to the municipalities or to existing terrestrial operators.
Organi trdijo, da so bili to zgolj prenosi sredstev med različnimi ravnmi uprave in da so z razširitvijo omrežij v lasti občinskih organov slednji samo izpolnjevali svoje upravne obveznosti do državljanov.
Municipalities then chose operators to carry out the task without public tender.
Kadar pa občinski organi delujejo kot omrežni operaterji, opravljajo gospodarsko dejavnost.
As a result, other platform operators, whether terrestrial or other, were not properly informed of the measure and therefore could not have made a technical proposal for the upgrading of infrastructure for the extension of coverage of digital television in Area II in the region [56].
Več teh operaterjev je vpisanih v evidenci omrežnih operaterjev CMT.
Abertis and TelecomCLM either received the funds for the upgrading and extension of their own network, or they were contracted by municipalities to carry out such work on the latters' infrastructure [57].
Ker pa so občinski organi kupili digitalno opremo pri družbah Abertis in Telecom CLM ter za namestitev, upravljanje in vzdrževanje te opreme z obema družbama sklenili podizvajalske pogodbe brez javnega razpisa, sta slednji v tem primeru prav tako neposredni upravičenki pomoči.
In both cases, the two operators were selected without public tender.
Financiranje vključuje tudi upravljanje in vzdrževanje omrežja.
In most cases, the municipalities own the DTT equipment which is attached to the operators' masts.
Te naloge opravljata Telecom CLM in Abertis.
The latter do not remunerate the municipalities for the use of such equipment.
To se šteje za stalno pomoč, katere upravičenci so operaterji, ki so bili pooblaščeni za upravljanje in vzdrževanje omrežja.
TelecomCLM entered directly into 133 Collaboration Agreements with the JCCM aimed at the digitisation of its own emission centres.
Nazadnje, družbama Abertis in Telecom CLM na splošno koristi tudi izključitev drugih operaterjev platforme s trga prenosa nekodiranih televizijskih signalov v Španiji [59].
This was considered necessary to carry out the DTT extension in rural areas where the population density is low and no operator has shown interest to invest.
Posredni upravičenci pomoči
An overview of the costs incurred by TelecomCLM upon the receipt of funds transferred by the JCCM shows that the former used these funds exclusively for the acquisition, installation of DTT equipment and for the subsequent maintenance of equipment for the first 2 year period.
Dobavitelji strojne opreme.
Thus, TelecomCLM and Abertis upgraded part of their existing broadcasting centres and are now in a position to operate the DTT network in Area II due to the public subsidy.
Telecom CLM in Abertis zagotavljata lastno telekomunikacijsko in strojno opremo.
They can also use the new infrastructure to provide other services, for example WiMax (wireless broadband standards which can provide fix or mobile broadband).
Družbi Telecom CLM in Abertis sta imeli neposredno korist od pomoči, saj so občinski organi od obeh obstoječih prizemnih operaterjev v Kastilji in Manči kupili opremo brez javnega razpisa (glej uvodno izjavo 119).
TelecomCLM used its centres […] and several digitised centres owned by municipalities for the installation of the JCCM's WiMax equipment […] [58].
Ko sta oba operaterja tako opremo kupila pri dobaviteljih strojne opreme, je bila ta kupljena na prostem trgu.
Due to these economies of scope, the DTT network operators have opportunities to raise income from the publicly financed infrastructure. […].
Zato se dobavitelji strojne opreme, razen družbi Telecom CLM in Abertis (neposredni upravičenki), ne štejejo kot upravičenci, saj niso pridobili selektivne prednosti.
The quantifiable advantage to the direct beneficiaries TelecomCLM and Abertis is the total amount of the funds received for the extension of coverage (including the funds received for the upgrading or building of new transmission centres).
Kot v primeru digitalnih sprejemnikov v Italiji [60] tudi tu ni mogoče razlikovati med različnimi kategorijami proizvajalcev različnih vrst digitalne infrastrukture, saj bi morali biti proizvajalci sposobni proizvajati vse vrste opreme.
Where municipalities act themselves as network operators, they received public funds to digitise the transmission centres located in their areas and to build new ones.
Družbe, ki omrežnim operaterjem dobavljajo tako strojno opremo, se ne razlikujejo od skupine podjetij, ki bi sodelovala na razpisih, če bi bila shema glede operaterjev platforme tehnološko nevtralna [61].
The authorities argue that these were merely transfers of funds between different levels of administration and that, by extending municipality owned networks, the municipalities simply carried out their administrative obligations towards the inhabitants.
V Španiji družbe, ki sestavljajo, nameščajo in dobavljajo strojno opremo, potrebno za razširitev digitalne prizemne televizije, običajno ponujajo tudi druge storitve.
However, where municipalities act as network operators they carry out an economic activity.
Taki proizvajalci opreme in telekomunikacijski operaterji lahko ponujajo tudi prizemne rešitve, satelitske rešitve ali kombinacijo obeh [62].
Many of them are registered on the CMT's list of network operators.
Namen zadevnega ukrepa ni, da bi s svojo vsebino ali splošno strukturo ustvarjal prednost za proizvajalce.
Nevertheless, as the municipalities bought the digital equipment from Abertis or TelecomCLM and subcontracted the installation, operation and maintenance of the equipment to these two companies without public tender, also in this case the latter are the direct beneficiaries of the aid.
Kakršna koli javna politika, ki bi dajala prednost digitalizaciji (čeprav tehnološko kar najbolj nevtralna), bi dejansko dajala prednost proizvajalcem digitalne opreme.
The funding also includes the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the network.
Pri proizvajalcih opreme se lahko zato dejstvo, da jim je povečana prodaja na podlagi ukrepa koristila, samodejno šteje kot stranski učinek.
These tasks are performed by TelecomCLM and Abertis.
Načeloma vsaka državna pomoč na dobavitelje prejemnikov državne pomoči deluje z učinkom razpršitve bogastva.
This is considered ongoing aid and the operators, charged with the operation and maintenance of the network, are considered to be the beneficiaries.
Vendar to ne ustvarja nujno znatne prednosti za take dobavitelje.
Finally, in more general terms, Abertis and TelecomCLM also benefit from the exclusion of another platform operator from entering the market of transmitting free to air TV signals in Spain [59].
Pomoč ni bila namenjena dobaviteljem strojne opreme, zato jim ciljno usmerjen posredni učinek ni koristil.
Indirect beneficiaries of the aid
Izdajatelji televizijskega programa.
Hardware suppliers.
Španija je ustrezno dokazala, da prizemni izdajatelji televizijskega programa niso imeli prednosti na podlagi razširitve pokritja.
TelecomCLM and Abertis provide equipment and hardware in-house.
V nasprotju z območjem I izdajatelji televizijskega programa niso hoteli plačati digitalizacije območja II, saj jim ne bi prinesla dodatnih prihodkov.
To the extent municipalities purchased equipment without a public tender from the two existing terrestrial operators in Castilla-La Mancha, TelecomCLM and Abertis directly benefited from the aid (see recital 119 above).
Glede na to, da zadevno omejeno prebivalstvo očitno ni tržni cilj oglaševalcev, izdajatelji televizijskega programa po razširitvi na območje II niso mogli znatno dvigniti oglaševalskih pristojbin.
Where the two operators have bought such equipment from hardware suppliers, such equipment was purchased on a free market.
Zato prizemni izdajatelji televizijskega programa niso posredni upravičenci preiskovanega ukrepa.
Therefore, as a result, apart from TelecomCLM and Abertis (direct beneficiaries), hardware suppliers are not considered to be beneficiaries as they did not receive a selective advantage.
Selektivnost
Similar to the case of digital decoders in Italy [60], it has not been possible to draw a distinction between different categories of producers of various types of digital infrastructure because producers should be able to produce any type of equipment.
Prednost, ki jo ukrep zagotavlja omrežnim operaterjem in izdajateljem televizijskega programa, je selektivna, saj zadeva le podjetja, ki so dejavna na trgu prizemne platforme.
The companies supplying such hardware to the network operators are not different from the group of undertakings who would have participated in tenders if the scheme had been technologically neutral with regard to platform operators [61].
Poleg tega omrežni operaterji, ki jim je bila dodeljena naloga razširitve, niso bili izbrani z razpisom, ampak na podlagi posebnega postopka iz Odloka št. 347/2008, v skladu s katerim so organi izbrali omrežne operaterje.
In Spain the companies, which integrate, install and supply the hardware necessary for DTT extension usually also offer other services.
Ne glede na to, da je zakonodajni okvir na centralni ravni iz obsega pomoči izključeval tehnologije, ki niso prizemne, je zato uporaba pomoči v regiji Kastilja in Manča zadevala samo določene omrežne operaterje.
Such equipment manufacturers but also telecommunications operators may also offer terrestrial, satellite or a mix of terrestrial and satellite solutions [62].
Izkrivljanje konkurence
The measure in question does not seek, through its object or general structure, to create an advantage for manufacturers.
Omrežni operaterji
Indeed, any public policy in favour of digitisation (even the most technologically neutral) would favour producers of digital equipment.
Z neposredno dodelitvijo sredstev prizemnima omrežnima operaterjema Telecomu CLM in Abertisu so španski organi diskriminirali vse ostale prizemne omrežne operaterje, ki bi lahko zagotavljali take storitve.
In the case of equipment manufacturers, the fact that they benefitted from an increase in sales due to the measure can therefore be considered to be a mechanical side-effect.
V postopku oddaje javnega naročila bi se lahko ugotovilo, ali tudi drugi obstoječi operaterji, kot je Radiodifusión, izpolnjujejo zahteve za zagotavljanje storitev radiodifuzije regionalnim in lokalnim izdajateljem televizijskega programa na območju II v Kastilji in Manči.
As a matter of principle, any State aid has a trickle-down effect on suppliers to the State aid recipient.
Ti operaterji svoje ponudbe niso mogli predstaviti JCCM, ker o ukrepu niso bili obveščeni in niso bili povabljeni k oddaji ponudbe.
This, however, does not necessarily create a selective advantage for such suppliers.
Zato je neposredna izbira upravičencev privedla do izključitve vseh drugih morebitnih prizemnih konkurentov.
Hardware suppliers were not targeted by the aid and therefore did not benefit from a targeted indirect effect.
Kadar so občinski organi posodabljali lastno omrežje, so se v nekaterih primerih obrnili neposredno na Telecom CLM ali Abertis.
Broadcasters.
V teh primerih drugi telekomunikacijski operaterji niso imeli možnosti oddaje ponudbe.
Spain has sufficiently demonstrated that the terrestrial broadcasters did not receive any advantage following the extension of the coverage.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 39 in 40, so drugi občinski organi objavili krajše obvestilo na svojih oglasnih deskah.
In contrast to Area I, the broadcasters refused to pay for the digitisation in Area II as this would not generate any additional revenue for them.
V teh obvestilih je bilo navedeno, da bo izbran telekomunikacijski operater, ki bo izvedel digitalizacijo občinskega centra za razpošiljanje signala, in sicer v skladu z Odlokom št. 347/2008.
In fact, in the light of the limited population at stake, which does not seem to be the commercial target of the advertisers, following the extension to Area II, broadcasters could not significantly raise advertising fees.
Operaterji so morali predložiti tehnična poročila.
Therefore, the terrestrial broadcasters are not indirect beneficiaries of the investigated measure.
Zainteresirani operaterji so lahko tehnične specifikacije pridobili v uradih občinskih organov.
Selectivity
Vendar objava na oglasni deski ne ustreza tehnološki nevtralnosti, saj so obvestila zadevala le posodobitev obstoječih prizemnih centrov za razpošiljanje signala.
The advantage provided by the measure to the network operators and broadcasters is selective, as it only concerns the undertakings active in the terrestrial platform market.
Poleg tega se obvestila ne morejo šteti kot enakovredna javnemu razpisu, čeprav vsem telekomunikacijskim operaterjem, vpisanim v evidenco nacionalnega regulativnega organa CMT, omogočajo predložitev ponudb.
Moreover, the choice of network operators charged with the task of extension was not done based on a tender, but on a specific procedure established in the Decree 347/2008, which consisted in selecting network operators by the authorities.
Objava na oglasni deski ni tako vidna kot javni razpis, objavljen v uradnem listu.
Therefore, irrespective of whether the legislative framework at the central level excluded technologies other than terrestrial from the scope of the aid, its application by the Castilla-La Mancha region concerned only particular network operators.
Družbi Telecom CLM in Abertis sta bili poleg tega v večini primerov v nasprotju z drugimi podjetji izrecno in vnaprej obveščeni o postopku in sta zato lahko predložili svojo ponudbo [63].
Distortion of competition
Na kratko, v vseh občinah, kjer so bila taka obvestila objavljena, je bila izbrana družba Telecom CLM ali Abertis.
Network operators
Španija in Abertis trdita, da sta digitalna prizemna televizija in satelitska tehnologija dva različna trga.
By directly granting the funding to the terrestrial network operators TelecomCLM and Abertis, the Spanish authorities have discriminated against any other terrestrial network operator which could have provided such services.
Digitalna prizemna televizija je glavna platforma za nekodirano prizemno televizijo, pri čemer je število subjektov na nacionalnem trgu določeno s številom licenc, ki jih podeli španska vlada.
Whether existing operators, as Radiodifusión, would qualify to provide broadcasting services to regional and national broadcasters in Area II of Castilla-La Mancha could have been established in a public tender.
Nekodirani prizemni televizijski kanali se financirajo z oglaševanjem.
As they were not informed about the measure and they were not invited to present their proposal, such operators could not argue their case with the JCCM.
Veliko število kanalov satelitske televizije je v Španiji dostopnih na edini platformi plačljive televizije, za katero je omrežni operater Astra.
As a result, the direct selection of the beneficiaries led to the exclusion of any other potential terrestrial competitor.
Ti kanali se financirajo prek naročnin, običajno za pakete kanalov.
Where municipalities upgraded their own network, in some cases they directly contacted TelecomCLM or Abertis.
Španski organi poudarjajo tudi, da je v Španiji strošek satelitskega prenosa za izdajatelje televizijskega programa veliko višji od stroška prizemne radiodifuzije, zato izdajateljev nekodiranega televizijskega programa, vključno z regionalnimi in lokalnimi izdajatelji, ne zanima preklop na to platformo.
In these cases other telecom operators were excluded from making a proposal.
Komisija je na podlagi več razlogov, navedenih v Sklepu, sklenila, da prizemna in satelitska platforma delujeta na istem trgu.
As set out in recitals 39 and 40, other municipalities published a short notice on their Notice Boards.
Prvič, leta 2008 se je Astra prijavila na razpis za razširitev pokritja z digitalno televizijo v Kantabriji in na njem zmagala.
These publications inform that a telecom operator is selected to digitise the emission centre of the municipality, in line with decree 347/2008.
Leta 2008 je Astra na več sestankih z avtonomnimi skupnostmi predstavila svojo ponudbo za radiodifuzijo digitalnih televizijskih kanalov, ki so jih do takrat prenašali prek prizemne platforme.
The operator should present a ‘memoria técnica’.
Čeprav so organi pogodbo s Kantabrijo pozneje prekinili, dejstvo, da se je satelitski operater zanimal za zagotavljanje storitev, ki so konkurenčne prizemni platformi, kaže na možnost, da bi lahko satelitski operaterji zagotavljali podobne storitve.
Interested operators could obtain the technical specifications in the secretariat of the municipality.
Drugič, več javnih in zasebnih kanalov, ki se prenašajo prek prizemne platforme, se prenaša tudi prek satelitskih platform, vključno z Astro [64].
However, the publication of the Notice board does not respect the technological neutrality, as the notices were destined only for the upgrading of the existing terrestrial emission centre.
Tretjič, nekateri regionalni kanali so na voljo ali so pred kratkim bili na voljo prek satelitske platforme, kar je v nasprotju s trditvijo, da regionalnih izdajateljev televizijskega programa satelit ne zanima.
Moreover, while the notices allow any telecom operator registered with the national regulator CMT to make a proposal, these publications cannot be considered equivalent to a public tender.
Četrtič, nekateri izdajatelji televizijskega programa so izrazili, da dajejo prednost prizemnemu oddajanju, saj so zakupili pravice za radiodifuzijo vsebin zgolj na prizemni platformi.
A publication on the Notice Board does not create the same visibility as a public tender published in an official journal.
Vendar to ne pomeni, da obstajata različna trga za prizemni in satelitski prenos.
Moreover, in most cases, unlike other companies, TelecomCLM and Abertis were expressly informed in advance about the process and could therefore hand in their proposal [63].
Izdajatelji televizijskega programa, ki so zakupili pravice za oddajanje vsebin na prizemni platformi, bi lahko po potrebi storili enako za satelitsko platformo.
Eventually, in all the municipalities where such notices were published, either TelecomCLM or Abertis were selected.
Če je bila satelitska platforma izbrana na podlagi javnega razpisa, bi lahko izdajateljem televizijskega programa poleg tega naložili „izključno obveznost prenosa“.
Spain and Abertis claim that DTT and satellite are two different markets.
Izdajateljem televizijskega programa za območje III se je naložila „izključna obveznost prenosa“, ko je bila izbrana satelitska platforma.
