At the same time, in the majority of cases involving an insolvent aid beneficiary, it is not possible to recover the full amount of unlawful and incompatible aid (including interests), as the beneficiary's assets are insufficient to satisfy all creditors' claims.
[Drugi ponudnik] je na primer v elektronskem pismu z dne 13. januarja 2014, ki ga je predstavnik [drugega ponudnika] poslal podjetju KPMG, navedel, da naj bi se vse zahteve za dokončanje prodaje izpolnile pred 3. aprilom 2014, sicer bo [drugi ponudnik] umaknil svojo ponudbo.
Consequently, it is often not possible to fully re-establish the ex ante situation in the traditional manner.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega Komisija meni, da je bilo ravnanje prodajalcev skladno z ravnanjem prodajalca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
More in general it should be ensured that no operator will benefit from the illegal and incompatible aid after the disappearance of the beneficiary.
Ugotavlja se tudi, da ni bilo roka za uveljavljanje te pravice do odstopa.
Recovery shall also concern beneficiaries not in the insolvency procedure (NAG, and BikeWorld GmbH for BWN1, BWNB and BWN2, since BWN1 merged with BWNB, subsequently the name of the acquiring company BWNB was changed into BWN2, and the latter company was subsequently renamed to BikeWorld GmbH.
Komisija v zvezi z dodatnimi trditvami tretjega pritožnika ugotavlja naslednje:
The Commission notes that certain aid beneficiaries no longer exist at the moment of this decision (EWN, MAN, TTI, Camp4Fun, MIB).
Komisija meni, da se od tretjega pritožnika ni zahtevalo, da prevzame obstoječe pogodbe ali obveznosti družbe NBG (z izjemo pogodb, ki se prenesejo samodejno v skladu z zakonodajo, kot so nekatere pogodbe o zaposlitvi ali najemne pogodbe).
EWN, MAN, and Camp4Fun were dissolved on 6 September 2011, 29 August 2013 on 1 March 2010, respectively.
Poleg tega ni našla dokazov, da se je struktura transakcije v razpisnem postopku spremenila ali da se je poleg tretjega pritožnika glede domnevne spremembe strukture transakcije pritožil še kak drug ponudnik.
Indeed, since NG is the remaining shareholder of these aid beneficiaries, it is responsible for their debts, including the debts resulting from State aid.
prodajalci so tretjega pritožnika s pismom z dne 17. decembra 2013 obvestili o roku 17. februarja 2014 za oddajo potrdilne ponudbe.
Since NG is in liquidation, then it should be ensured that there is an appropriate registration of the liability relating to the payment of the aid in the schedule of NG's liabilities, and that there is a definitive cessation of NG's activities.
Tretji pritožnik je bil obveščen tudi, da bi lahko prodajalci ponudnike, ki se bodo uvrstili v naslednjo fazo, izbrali kmalu po izteku navedenega podaljšanega roka.
It should also be ensured that no operator will benefit from the incompatible aid after the disappearance of NG.
Ni bilo ovir, ki bi kvalificiranim ponudnikom preprečevale, da spremenijo svoje potrdilne ponudbe ali oddajo dokaz o financiranju celo po navedenem roku, dokler ni bila podpisana končna pogodba o nakupu sredstev [180].
Thus, the Commission concludes that NG as the economic successor of the beneficiaries has to be subject to the recovery of the State aid granted to them.
ni dokazov, da se je podjetje Capricorn pred sklenitvijo pogodbe o nakupu sredstev pogajalo z dobaviteljem piva ali organizatorji koncerta „Rock am Ring“.
Since NG is the aid grantor as well as the economic successor of the aid beneficiaries, recovery must be implemented in such circumstances by the State.
Po navedbah stečajnih upraviteljev je vsa ustrezna pogajanja opravilo podjetje NBG;
MIB was not liquidated, but merged with NAG on 6 September 2013, and therefore also no longer exists as a legal entity.
overitev pogodbe o nakupu sredstev, ki sta jo dva najboljša ponudnika (podjetje Capricorn in [drugi ponudnik]) opravila pred sestankom odbora upnikov 11. marca 2014, ni znak kršitve načel preglednosti in enakega obravnavanja.
In consequence, NAG is the economic successor of MIB, on the basis of § 2 paragraph 1 of the German Transformation Act (‘Umwandlungsgesetz’), as indicated in the German trade register.
Ni dokazov, da je bil izid razpisnega postopka podjetju Capricorn sporočen pred sestankom odbora upnikov 11. marca 2014;
Therefore, NAG as the economic successor of MIB must pay back the aid.
nobeden od ponudnikov ni zagotovil jamstva za financiranje celotne kupnine.
TTI was liquidated under German Limited Liability Companies Act on 4 December 2007.
Prodajalci zato niso kršili načela enakega obravnavanja, ko so zahtevo po varnem financiranju v razpisnem postopku dejansko omilili;
TTI was a limited liability company (‘Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung’).
možnost dopolnitve pogodbe o nakupu sredstev je bila del poslovnih pogajanj in ni pomembna z vidika državne pomoči;
By a resolution of the shareholders about liquidation, the company was dissolved.
prodajalci so premisleke o okoljskih vidikih ponudbe tretjega pritožnika obravnavali samo zaradi dejstva, da tretji pritožnik ni predložil dokaza o financiranju svoje ponudbe.
The only remaining purpose of TTI was the implementation of liquidation.
prek sklepa Komisije o začetku formalnega postopka preiskave z dne 21. marca 2012 in sklepa o razširitvi formalnega postopka preiskave z dne 7. avgusta 2012;
The remaining cash assets were then distributed to the shareholders.
Pritožba četrtega pritožnika
At that moment in time, the company was dissolved.
Glede na primerjavo v preglednici 10 ponudba podjetja Capricorn prinaša višje prihodke od prodaje v primerjavi s ponudbo [drugega ponudnika].
Pursuant to Germany, there was no legal succession in the sense of economic continuity, because at most, cash went to the shareholders, there was no economic activity anymore, and a transfer of the business or a take-over of liability by the shareholders was not carried out.
Komisija v zvezi s trditvami četrtega pritožnika ugotavlja naslednje:
Germany also indicated that the assets of TTI were not sold in a tender process, since on 12 March 2004 as the date of the opening of the liquidation of TTI, these assets were only the account balance of EUR 19777,39, tax refund claims of EUR 1222,01 and interests from a bank account of EUR 30,69.
Komisija je seznanjena s trditvijo stečajnih upraviteljev, da je bilo financiranje dveh ponudb, ki sta ju predložila [drugi ponudnik] in podjetje Capricorn, po mnenju prodajalcev dovolj varno, čeprav nobeden od teh ponudnikov ni dosegel najvišje ravni varnosti.
As TTI was liquidated as mentioned above, it had no economic successor, especially since there was no economic activity run by anybody after liquidation, and the shareholders did not receive assets or any operational elements of TTI but only a very limited amount of cash.
kar zadeva vnaprejšnja plačila, naj bi imeli prodajalci, če bo leta 2014 sprejet neizpodbojni sklep Komisije, dostop do [30–33] milijonov EUR v primeru [drugega ponudnika] ali [58–63] milijonov EUR (plus približno 6 milijonov EUR denarnega toka družbe NBG) v primeru podjetja Capricorn;
In this context, since there was no transfer of the business of TTI to anybody, the Commission considers that the State aid stemming from the measure at hand was not passed to anybody else.
ob upoštevanju pripomb četrtega pritožnika in stečajnih upraviteljev ni mogoče sklepati, da je bilo tveganje v zvezi z izvedbo transakcije večje pri ponudbi podjetja Capricorn kot pri ponudbi [drugega ponudnika];
In such case, the company has already been fully liquidated, and recovery becomes without object because the aid beneficiary no longer exists and has no economic successor.
glede na izbirna merila, navedena v uvodni izjavi 48, zmožnosti ponudnikov same po sebi niso bile izbirno merilo;
ASSESSMENT OF ECONOMIC CONTINUITY BETWEEN THE INSOLVENT COMPANIES AND THE BUYER OF THE ASSETS
glede na izbirna merila, navedena v uvodni izjavi 48, znesek naložb, ki naj bi se izvedle po prodaji, ni bil izbirno merilo;
EXISTENCE OF STATE AID BENEFITING THE BUYER OF THE ASSETS
komunikacija prodajalcev z [drugim ponudnikom] v razpisnem postopku je bila sprejemljiva.
In the event of a negative Commission decision regarding the recovery of incompatible aid to an undertaking in the context of Articles 107 and 108 TFEU, the Member State in question is required to recover the incompatible aid.
[Drugemu ponudniku] ni nič preprečevalo, da zviša ali spremeni svojo ponudbo pred sestankom odbora upnikov 11. marca 2014.
The recovery obligation may be extended to a new company, to which the company in question has transferred or sold part of its assets, where that transfer or sale structure will trigger the conclusion that there is economic continuity between the two companies.
Komisija zato ni našla dokazov, da je bil [drugi ponudnik] v razpisnem postopku diskriminiran.
In order to decide on whether there is State aid benefiting the buyer(s) of the assets, the Commission needs to confirm: (a) that the sale of any assets takes place at their market price; and (b) other criteria addressed below.
Poudariti je treba, da je [drugi ponudnik] predložil potrdilno ponudbo, se pogajal o pogodbenih pogojih in da je lahko kot drugi najboljši ponudnik z varnim financiranjem podpisal končno različico osnutka pogodbe.
According to the Court decision on Italy and SIM 2 v Commission [173], on which the Commission founded its decisions on Olympic Airlines, Alitalia and SERNAM [174], the assessment of economic continuity between the ‘old’ entity and the new structures is established based on a set of indicators.
Poleg tega bi se v skladu s pogojem glede izdaje neizpodbojnega sklepa Komisije denar, ki naj bi ga zagotovil [drugi ponudnik], z izjemo zneska v višini [7,1–7,6] milijona EUR hranil na blokiranem računu in bi se prenesel na prodajalce po sprejetju neizpodbojnega sklepa Komisije ali v primeru, da kupec ne bi odstopil od pogodbe, čeprav tak izvršljiv sklep Komisije ne bi bil sprejet do 31. marca 2015 (možnost podaljšanja roka za uveljavljanje pravice do odstopa ni bila izključena).
the scope of the sold assets (assets and liabilities, maintenance of workforce, bundle of assets), the sale price, the identity of the buyer(s), the moment of the sale (after the initiation of preliminary assessment, the formal investigation procedure or the final decision) and the economic logic of the operation.
Sklepna ugotovitev
This set of indicators was confirmed by the Court in its decision of 28 March 2012 Ryanair v Commission [175], which confirmed the Alitalia decision.
Zaradi navedenih razlogov in na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij Komisija ni našla dokazov o kršitvi načel odprtega, preglednega, nediskriminatornega in brezpogojnega razpisnega postopka v zvezi s prodajo sredstev podjetij NG, MSR in CMHN ali dokazov o tem, da je katera koli ponudba vključevala višjo ceno z varnim financiranjem v primerjavi s ponudbo podjetja Capricorn.
Scope of assets sold
SKLEPNA UGOTOVITEV
The Commission observes that the assets taken over by Capricorn represent all of the assets of the insolvent NG, MSR and CMHN, and they relate to the main activities of these companies.
Komisija ugotavlja, da del ukrepa 2 (posojila, odobrena podjetju FSZ) ter ukrepi 8, 11 in 15 ne pomenijo pomoči v smislu člena 107(1).
However, the Commission notes that, in the context of the tender process, the assets of NG, MSR and CMHN were split in 11 individual asset clusters and all bidders were allowed to bid for individual assets, as well as for one, several or all asset clusters (see point 2.5).
Komisija ugotavlja, da je Nemčija nezakonito izvedla ukrep 1, del ukrepa 2 (posojila podjetja NG podjetjem EWN, MAN, TTI, Camp4Fun, BWN1, BWNB in BWN2) in ukrepe 3–7, 9, 10, 12–14 in 16–19 ter s tem kršila člen 108(3) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
Those clusters were formed with a view on the expected economic use of the assets, the expected investors' interest as well as the costs of separating the assets.
Komisija je ugotovila, da ukrep 1, del ukrepa 2 (posojila podjetja NG podjetjem EWN, MAN, TTI, Camp4Fun, BWN1, BWNB in BWN2) ter ukrepi 3–7, 9, 10, 12–14 in 16–19, dodeljeni v korist podjetij Nürburgring GmbH, Motorsport Resort Nürburgring GmbH, Congress- und Motorsport Hotel Nürburgring GmbH, Cash Settlement and Ticketing GmbH, Nürburgring Automotive GmbH, Erlebnispark Nürburgring GmbH & Co.
Furthermore, the insolvency administrators did not establish any conditions as regards the future use of the assets.
KG, Motorsport Akademie Nürburgring GmbH & Co.
The Commission notes that the decision that all the assets were sold to one single company was made by the market, i.e. the economic operators bidding for the assets, not by the insolvency administrators or Germany.
KG, Test & Training International GmbH, Bike World Nürburgring GmbH, BikeWorld Nürburgring Besitz GmbH, BikeWorld Nürburgring GmbH, Camp4Fun GmbH & Co.
Indeed, all the bidders had the possibility to bid for one of the 11 individual clusters of assets, their totality, or specific assets.
KG, IPC Gesellschaft für internationale Projektcoordination mbH oziroma MI-Beteiligungs- und Verwaltungs GmbH, pomenijo državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) in so nezdružljivi z notranjim trgom, saj ne izpolnjujejo ustreznih pogojev iz smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje, druga podlaga za združljivost pa ni bila opredeljena.
For market driven reasons, the value of the bids for individual assets or clusters of assets did not reach the value of the highest bid for the totality of assets.
Komisija je ugotovila tudi, da:
This seems to be the consequence of the economic interdependence of the various clusters of assets:
prodaja sredstev podjetij Nürburgring GmbH, Motorsport Resort Nürburgring GmbH in Congress- und Motorsport Hotel Nürburgring GmbH ne pomeni državne pomoči ter
without the race track, the hotels would not be viable; without the hotels, a profitable exploitation of the race track with professional races, rock concerts and other activities with a large catchment area would be more difficult.
prodaja sredstev podjetij Nürburgring GmbH, Motorsport Resort Nürburgring GmbH in Congress- und Motorsport Hotel Nürburgring GmbH ni povzročila gospodarske kontinuitete med podjetji Nürburgring GmbH, Motorsport Resort Nürburgring GmbH in Congress- und Motorsport Hotel Nürburgring GmbH ter novim lastnikom sredstev capricorn NÜRBURGRING Besitzgesellschaft GmbH ali njegovimi hčerinskimi družbami.
As regards the employees, the tender specifications or the sales contract do not include any specific obligation, e.g. an employment guarantee, to transfer employment contracts to the new owner, apart from what is required by relevant national legislation.
Zato morebitno vračilo nezdružljive državne pomoči ne bo zadevalo podjetja capricorn NÜRBURGRING Besitzgesellschaft GmbH, ki je kupec sredstev, prodanih na podlagi razpisnega postopka, ali njegovih hčerinskih družb –
Under German law, the employees are automatically transferred to the buyer of the assets.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
However, under German labour courts jurisprudence [176], in an insolvency context the buyer can request from the insolvency administrator to terminate employment contracts.
Člen 1
Hence in principle the buyer could take a fresh decision on which personnel it wished to offer new employment.
Naslednji ukrepi, ki jih je izvedla Nemčija, niso pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije:
In the case at hand, in order to achieve an economically viable operation of the acquired assets, Capricorn assessed its needs, in order to achieve viability of its operations, and chose not to receive the entirety of the employees of the sellers but 85 % of them, i.e. 253 of the total 297 employees, on 1 January 2015 (date when Capricorn will start operating the acquired assets).
del ukrepa 2
It is maintained however, that since Capricorn could take an independent decision to engage or not existing personnel, the confirmed hiring of existing personnel does not lead to continuity of operations.

Firstly, the invitation to submit an expression of interest for the Nürburgring assets did not present any limitation as to the parties that could submit offers, therefore any entity could submit an offer in the tender process.

Secondly, as regards the principle of transparency, the sellers provided all bidders with enough time and all the necessary and detailed information, in order to allow them to carry out a proper valuation of the assets.
