The Irish authorities have also made grants under the National Development Plans to CIÉ for the purpose of investment in infrastructure for bus services, in particular the upgrading of bus stations and the construction of a new bus garage in Dublin.
Irski organi so družbi CIÉ dodelili tudi nepovratna sredstva v okviru nacionalnih razvojnih načrtov, in sicer za namen vlaganja v infrastrukturo za avtobusne storitve, zlasti za posodabljanje avtobusnih postaj in gradnjo nove avtobusne garaže v Dublinu.
The amounts of these grants from 2000 to 2008 are listed in Table 3.
Zneski te pomoči od leta 2000 do 2008 so navedeni v preglednici 3.
The grants for dedicated infrastructure examined by this Decision begin in 2000, because this is the first year of the National Development Plan 2000-06 [18], and end in 2009 [19].
Nepovratna sredstva za namensko infrastrukturo, ki se proučujejo v tem sklepu, so bila prvič odobrena leta 2000, ker je to začetek nacionalnega razvojnega načrta za obdobje 2000–2006 [18], zadnjič pa bodo leta 2009 [19].
Capital Grants for Infrastructure, EUR (millions)
Kapitalska nepovratna sredstva za infrastrukturo (v mio.
The Irish authorities stated that the financing of new infrastructure and operational facilities was provided solely to meet PSOs, and also that the upgrading of the infrastructure was necessary to meet quality and accessibility requirements imposed by those PSOs.
EUR)
The infrastructure in question is owned by CIÉ and, according to the Irish authorities, had not been upgraded over the years to meet operating, safety and customer requirements.
Irski organi so navedli, da je bilo financiranje nove infrastrukture in operativnih zmogljivosti namenjeno zgolj za izpolnitev obveznosti javne službe in da je bilo posodabljanje infrastrukture nujno za izpolnitev zahtev v zvezi s kakovostjo in dostopnostjo, ki jih nalagajo obveznosti javne službe.
The grants, along with funds generated from their own resources, enabled the companies to bring those facilities up to the required standards, in particular facilitating the travel of mobility-impaired people.
Zadevna infrastruktura je v lasti CIÉ in po navedbah irskih organov v vseh teh letih ni bila posodobljena, da bi izpolnila zahteve v zvezi z delovanjem in varnostjo ter potrebe strank.
Both Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann received funding that went towards the cost of bus garages and maintenance facilities, and towards meeting the cost of accessibility works necessary at bus stations and bus stops.
Nepovratna sredstva so skupaj s sredstvi iz lastnih virov družbam omogočila, da so svoje zmogljivosti posodobile tako, da izpolnjujejo zahtevane standarde, zlasti za olajšanje potovanja gibalno oviranim osebam.
For Bus Éireann, the bulk of the funding for infrastructure/operational facilities provided related to the upgrading of the bus stations it uses across the country.
Družbi Dublin Bus in Bus Éireann sta prejeli finančna sredstva za stroške avtobusnih garaž in objekte za vzdrževanje ter pokritje stroškov del v zvezi z dostopnostjo, ki so bila potrebna na avtobusnih postajah in postajališčih.
Those upgrades were for improving accessibility, the provision of dished (Kassel) kerbing, and a range of other related measures.
Večina finančnih sredstev za infrastrukturo/operativne zmogljivosti, ki jih je prejela družba Bus Éireann, se je nanašala na posodabljanje avtobusnih postaj po vsej državi.
The Bus Éireann funding includes contributions from the European Regional Development Fund under its Interreg programme.
Posodobitve so se izvedle za izboljšanje dostopnosti ter polaganje t. i. kasselskih robnikov in številnih drugih povezanih ukrepov.
In Dublin, an increase in the number of buses required for PSO services led to the requirement for more garage capacity.
Financiranje družbe Bus Éireann vključuje prispevke iz Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj v okviru programa Interreg.
The overall cost of the Harristown Garage was EUR 42,1 million, made up of EUR 22 million grant funding and a CIÉ/Dublin Bus own contribution of EUR 20,1 million.
Za navedeni projekt je bilo uporabljenih 22 milijonov EUR nepovratnih sredstev, izplačanih družbi Dublin Bus za infrastrukturo/operativne zmogljivosti.
The buses garaged at Harristown operate only on PSO services.
Fizični dostop do celotne infrastrukture, ki so ji bila dodeljena nepovratna sredstva iz preglednice 3, imajo samo vozila družb Bus Éireann in Dublin Bus.
The physical access to all the infrastructure facilities aided by the grants set out in Table 3 is limited to Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus vehicles.
Shema za prevoz učencev
School Transport Scheme
Opis sheme
Description of the scheme
Shemo je od leta 1967 naprej izvajala CIÉ, od sprejetja zakona o prometu (reorganizacija CIÉ) iz leta 1986 [20] pa jo izvaja Bus Éireann.
The scheme was operated from 1967 onwards by CIÉ, and since the Transport (Re-organisation of CIÉ) Act, 1986 [20], it has been operated by Bus Éireann.
Shema je namenjena zlasti otrokom na podeželskih območjih, ki bi sicer zaradi kraja bivanja lahko imeli težave pri rednem obiskovanju šole.
The scheme is aimed mainly at children in rural areas who, because of where they reside, might otherwise have difficulty in attending school regularly.
Da so učenci upravičeni do storitev sheme, morajo živeti na določeni razdalji od najbližje šole, čeprav se nekaterim učencem s posebnimi potrebami običajno zagotavlja prevoz od vrat do vrat.
To be eligible for the scheme, pupils must live beyond a certain distance from their nearest school, although for certain pupils with special needs a door-to-door transport between home and school is normally provided.
V okviru sheme se v osnovne in srednje šole vsak dan prepelje 135000 otrok, vključno s približno 8000 otroki s posebnimi učnimi potrebami in 9000 otroki, ki potujejo z rednimi avtobusi ali vlaki, vključno prek licenciranih zasebnih izvajalcev.
Via the scheme, 135000 children are carried each day on school transport to primary and post-primary schools, including about 8000 children with special educational needs and 9000 children who travel on scheduled bus and rail services, including those of licensed private operators.
Bus Éireann upravlja vozni park s 700 šolskimi avtobusi, ki se uporabljajo v okviru sheme.
Bus Éireann operates a fleet of 700 school buses as part of the scheme.
Zasebni izvajalci po pogodbi z Bus Éireann upravljajo dodatnih 3000 vozil.
Private operators on contract to Bus Éireann run a further 3000 vehicles.
Irski organi navajajo, da trenutno 86 % storitev izvajajo podizvajalci iz zasebnega sektorja in da se je ta odstotek v zadnjih letih postopno povišal.
The Irish authorities state that 86 % of services are currently provided by private sector contractors, and that this percentage has gradually increased in recent years.
Shema se izvaja prek 11 regionalnih pisarn družbe Bus Éireann, katerih delovanje koordinira sedež družbe Bus Éireann v Dublinu.
The scheme is administered through Bus Éireann's 11 regional offices, the functions of which are coordinated by Bus Éireann's headquarters in Dublin.
Poleg upravljanja lastnega avtobusnega voznega parka za prevoz učencev opravlja Bus Éireann v shemi naslednje naloge upravljanja:
In addition to running its own dedicated school bus fleet, the administrative role of Bus Éireann in the scheme includes:
sklepanje pogodb z zasebnimi izvajalci in plačilo računov pogodbenikov,
contracting private operators and payment of contractor accounts,
stalno spremljanje storitev pogodbenikov,
continuous monitoring of contractor operations,
načrtovanje novih storitev, vključno z načrti linij in voznimi redi,
planning the provision of new services, including route itineraries and scheduling,
letni pregled vsake linije za ugotavljanje sprememb v številu prevoženih učencev,
annual review of every route to reflect the changes in pupil turnover,
presojo upravičenosti učencev,
assessment of pupil eligibility,
zbiranje in obračun prispevkov učencev,
collection and accounting for pupil contributions,
izdajanje vozovnic učencem,
issue of tickets/passes to pupils,
preverjanje vseh voznikov in inšpektorjev v sodelovanju s policijo,
vetting of all drivers and inspectors, in conjunction with the police service,
dnevni nadzor in spremljanje storitev in standardov,
day-to-day supervision and monitoring of service performance and standards,
celotno administrativno podporo, ki je potrebna za delovanje sheme in njeno odgovornost kot državne službe.
all administrative support necessary for the operation of the scheme and its accountability as a State service.
Finančna pravila za shemo za prevoz učencev
Financial arrangements for School Transport Scheme
Finančna pravila za shemo za prevoz učencev so bile določena v računovodskem sporazumu iz leta 1968 [21], ki je bil posodobljen leta 1975 [22].
The financial arrangements for the School Transport Scheme were set out in an Accounting Agreement from 1968 [21], which was updated in 1975 [22].
Irski organi navajajo, da v skladu z navedenim sporazumom ministrstvo za izobraževanje in usposabljanje družbi Bus Éireann povrne sredstva v obliki „povračila stroškov“ in da povračilo velja za številne neposredne stroške, za katere se ugotovi, da so nastali med izvajanjem in upravljanjem sheme, k čemur se prišteje delež posrednih stroškov, ki jih ima družba Bus Éireann in se izračunajo v skladu z dogovorjeno formulo, odšteje pa se prihodek iz pristojbin, zaračunanih staršem učencev, ki uporabljajo storitve sheme.
The Irish authorities state that under those arrangements, the Department of Education and Skills reimburses Bus Éireann on a ‘cost recovery’ basis and that the reimbursement is for a range of direct costs identifiable as being incurred in the operation and administration of the scheme, plus a share of the indirect costs Bus Éireann incurs calculated according to an agreed formula, less the income from charges levied on the parents of the pupils using the Scheme.
Formula za izračun nastalih posrednih stroškov je bila v sporazumu iz leta 1975 določena na 13 % določenih opredeljenih neposrednih stroškov.
The formula for the calculation of the indirect costs incurred had been set at 13 % of certain defined direct costs in the 1975 agreement.
Vendar je bila za ta znesek po pogajanjih med ministrstvom za izobraževanje in usposabljanje ter družbo Bus Éireann določena dogovorjena zgornja meja, ki je leta 2011 znašala 16,7 milijona EUR, kar je enako 10,7 % zadevnih stroškov za navedeno leto, nato pa je bila za leti 2012 in 2013 fiksno določena na 15 milijonov EUR [23].
However, following negotiations between the Department of Education and Skills and Bus Éireann, this charge was capped with an agreed maximum figure for the charge, which in 2011 amounted to EUR 16,7 million, or the equivalent of 10,7 % of the costs in question for that year, and then fixed at EUR 15 million for both 2012 and 2013 [23].
Stroški plačil podizvajalcem iz zasebnega sektorja sestavljajo velik delež celotnih neposrednih stroškov, saj večino storitev prevoza učencev opravljajo podizvajalci, namesto da bi jih zagotavljala družba Bus Éireann z lastnim voznim parkom šolskih avtobusov.
The costs of paying private sector subcontractors make up a large proportion of overall direct costs, since a majority of school transport services are contracted out, rather than run by Bus Éireann's own school transport bus fleet.
Vsak šolski semester se staršem upravičenih srednješolcev zaračunajo zmerne pristojbine, od šolskega leta 2011/2012 naprej pa tudi staršem upravičenih osnovnošolcev.
Modest charges are levied each school term on the families of eligible post-primary (secondary) school pupils and, from the 2011/12 school year, also on the families of eligible primary school pupils.
Za starše učencev katerih koli šol, ki koristijo shemo, vendar niso upravičeni, veljajo druge, višje dajatve.
Other higher charges apply to families of pupils at any school who avail of the scheme but are not eligible.
Ministrstvo za izobraževanje in usposabljanje [24] je objavilo revidirane letne računovodske izkaze sheme za zadnjih nekaj let.
The audited annual financial statements of the scheme for recent years are published by the Department of Education and Skills [24].
Stroški storitve posameznega leta, dajatve, ki so jih plačali starši (prispevek učenca na semester), letno plačilo družbi Bus Éireann (obračunan neto znesek) in plačila podizvajalcem od leta 2000 so povzeti v preglednici 4:
The costs of the service each year, the charges paid by parents (pupil term charge contributions), the annual payment to Bus Éireann (net amount chargeable), and payments to contractors, since 2000 are summarised in Table 4:

Znesek, ki ga poravna ministrstvo za izobraževanje in usposabljanje
The vehicles used in the School Transport Scheme have been in general ‘cascaded’ down from other parts of the Bus Éireann fleet.
Vozila, ki se uporabljajo v okviru sheme za prevoz učencev, so večinoma starejša vozila iz drugih delov voznega parka družbe Bus Éireann.
The rationale being that these older buses were still suitable for the generally lower mileage task of school transport.
To je bilo utemeljeno z navedbo, da so zadevni starejši avtobusi še vedno ustrezni za šolski prevoz za vožnje z na splošno nižjim številom prevoženih kilometrov.
Therefore, as Bus Éireann supplied the buses for the scheme, it included a depreciation charge as part of the annual chargeable direct costs to the Department of Education and Skills.
Zato je družba Bus Éireann zaradi uporabe avtobusov za shemo v letne neposredne stroške, ki se zaračunajo ministrstvu za izobraževanje in usposabljanje, vključila tudi stroške amortizacije.
An exception to this practice of cascading was made for the period 2005 to 2008 when the Government decided to upgrade the school bus fleet to improve safety.
Pri navedeni uporabi starejših vozil je bila za obdobje 2005–2008 narejena izjema, ko se je vlada odločila posodobiti vozni park šolskih avtobusov zaradi izboljšanja varnosti.
In that period, funding amounting to EUR 24,6 million was provided by the Department of Education and Skills to Bus Éireann for the purchase of 161 additional school buses.
V navedenem obdobju je ministrstvo za izobraževanje in usposabljanje družbi Bus Éireann dodelilo finančna sredstva v višini 24,6 milijona EUR za nakup 161 dodatnih šolskih avtobusov.
That funding is additional to the amounts set out in Table 4 for the annual payments.
Navedena finančna sredstva so dodatek k zneskom iz preglednice 4 za letna plačila.
No depreciation charges are made with respect to these buses as they were already fully funded by the Department of Education and Skills [25].
Za te avtobuse se amortizacija ne obračuna, saj jih je ministrstvo za izobraževanje in usposabljanje [25] že v celoti financiralo.
Financing of disability awareness training
Financiranje usposabljanja o invalidnosti
Ireland is committed to the development of accessible transport services to meet the accessibility needs of all people, including those with disabilities.
Irska je zavezana k razvoju dostopnih prevoznih storitev za izpolnjevanje potreb po dostopnosti za vse ljudi, vključno z invalidi.
Accordingly, the National Development Plan 2000-06 included a funding provision of EUR 13 million for accessibility improvements to existing public transport infrastructure and facilities for both publicly and privately provided transport.
V skladu s tem je nacionalni razvojni načrt za obdobje 2000–2006 predvidel finančna sredstva v višini 13 milijonov EUR za izboljšanje dostopnosti obstoječe infrastrukture in zmogljivosti javnega prevoza tako za javne kot zasebne izvajalce.
Some of this funding was used for the accessibility improvements for infrastructure, described in recitals 53 to 57.
Nekaj od teh finančnih sredstev je bilo porabljenih za izboljšanje dostopnosti infrastrukture (gl. uvodne izjave 53 do 57).
However, from 2001 onwards, the Department of Transport also supported disability awareness training to enhance the delivery of services by public and private transport operators to disabled people.
Od leta 2001 pa ministrstvo za promet finančno podpira tudi usposabljanje za usposabljanje o invalidnosti, da bi javne in zasebne izvajalce spodbudilo k zagotavljanju storitev prevoza za invalide.
Bus operators used this funding to train front line personnel such as drivers and ticketing staff.
Avtobusni prevozniki so s temi finančnimi sredstvi usposobili osebje, ki je v neposrednem stiku s potniki, kot so vozniki in prodajalci vozovnic.
At the time of the Opening Decision, only Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann and Veolia Transport had disability awareness training programmes in place and the Irish authorities stated that, under the concept ‘Transport for All’, the Department of Transport was considering providing support for disability awareness training to all private bus and coach operator sectors.
V času sklepa o začetku postopka so programe usposabljanja o invalidnosti izvajale le družbe Dublin Bus, Bus Éireann in Veolia Transport, pri čemer so irski organi navedli, da je ministrstvo za promet v okviru koncepta „prevoz za vse“ proučevalo možnost, da bi se podpora za usposabljanje o invalidnosti zagotovila vsem zasebnim avtobusnim prevoznikom.
The disability awareness training programme for Bus Éireann staff commenced in November 2001 and was delivered throughout the country and a similar programme for Dublin Bus began in 2002.
Program usposabljanja o invalidnosti za zaposlene pri družbi Bus Éireann se je začel novembra 2001 in se je izvedel po celotni državi, leta 2002 pa se je začel podoben program izvajati pri družbi Dublin Bus.
Over the period 2001 to 2003 Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann received part funding for disability awareness training as set out in Table 5:
V obdobju od leta 2001 do 2003 sta družbi Dublin Bus in Bus Éireann prejeli del finančnih sredstev za usposabljanje o invalidnosti, kot je navedeno v preglednici 5:

The funding was paid to CIÉ and then transferred to the accounts of Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann.
Finančna sredstva so bila izplačana CIÉ in nato prenesena na račune družb Dublin Bus in Bus Éireann.
In subsequent years, no further grants were made for disability awareness training to Bus Éireann or Dublin Bus.
V naslednjih letih družbi Dublin Bus in Bus Éireann nista prejeli dodatnih nepovratnih sredstev za usposabljanje o invalidnosti.
Such training instead became part of the normal induction training processes in those companies.
Namesto tega je v teh družbah takšno usposabljanje postalo del običajnih postopkov uvajanja.
However, in recognition of the need for equivalent training in the private sector, funding was made available for disability awareness training from 2006 onwards, and for 2007 and 2008, that funding amounted to EUR 25550, which the Irish authorities emphasise was 100 % of the funding requested for this purpose by the private sector.
Vendar so bila ob prepoznanju potrebe po podobnem usposabljanju v zasebnem sektorju od leta 2006 zagotovljena finančna sredstva za usposabljanje o invalidnosti, pri čemer so ta finančna sredstva v letih 2007 in 2008 znašala 25550 EUR, kar je bilo, kot poudarjajo irski organi, 100 % finančnih sredstev, za katera je v ta namen zaprosil zasebni sektor.
Compensation for public bus transport services: operating compensation for urban, suburban and regional bus services, financing of new buses and the School Transport Scheme
Nadomestilo za storitve javnega avtobusnega prevoza: nadomestilo za izvajanje za avtobusne storitve v mestnem, primestnem in regionalnem prometu, financiranje novih avtobusov in shemo prevoza učencev
With regard to the existence of State aid, the Commission considered in the Opening Decision that the Irish authorities had not yet provided enough information to enable it to conclude that all the criteria set by the Altmark judgment [27] had been fulfilled.
V zvezi z obstojem državne pomoči je Komisija v sklepu o začetku postopka menila, da irski organi še niso predložili dovolj informacij, na podlagi katerih bi lahko sklepala, da so bila izpolnjena vsa merila iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark [27].
On the basis of the information provided by the Irish authorities, the Commission could not exclude the possibility that the measures constituted State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Komisija na podlagi informacij, ki so jih predložili irski organi, ni mogla izključiti možnosti, da so ukrepi pomenili državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
As Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus operate scheduled and other bus services, they are undertakings which operate road transport services.
Ker Bus Éireann in Dublin Bus opravljata redne in druge avtobusne storitve, sta to podjetji za prevoz v cestnem prometu.
Therefore, the Commission considered in the Opening Decision that Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus fell within the scope of the now repealed Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 of the Council [28].
Zato je Komisija v sklepu o začetku postopka menila, da Bus Éireann in Dublin Bus spadata v področje uporabe zdaj razveljavljene Uredbe Sveta (EGS) št. 1191/69 [28].
According to the Irish authorities, a PSO had been imposed upon CIÉ and its subsidiaries by the Transport Act, 1950, the Transport Act, 1958, and the Transport (Re-organisation of CIÉ) Act, 1986 (the ‘Transport Acts’) [29].
Po navedbah irskih organov je bila obveznost javne službe naložena CIÉ in njenim hčerinskim družbam na podlagi zakona o prometu iz leta 1950, zakona o prometu iz leta 1958 in zakona o prometu (reorganizacija CIÉ) iz leta 1986 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: zakoni o prometu) [29].
As from 2003, the conditions and the amount of the annual compensation by the Irish authorities to Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann had been the subject of Memoranda of Understanding.
Od leta 2003 so se pogoji in višina letnih nadomestil, ki jih irski organi izplačujejo družbama Dublin Bus in Bus Éireann, določali na podlagi memorandumov o soglasju.
The Irish authorities had declared that they did not consider the Memoranda of Understanding with Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann to be public service contracts.
Irski organi so izjavili, da memorandumov o soglasju z družbama Dublin Bus in Bus Éireann ne obravnavajo kot pogodbe o izvajanju javne službe.
On the basis of the information at its disposal at the time the Opening Decision was adopted, the Commission could not exclude the possibility that the Memoranda of Understanding should be considered as public service contracts.
Komisija na podlagi informacij, ki so ji bile na voljo v času sprejema sklepa o začetku postopka, ni mogla izključiti možnosti, da bi bilo treba memorandume o soglasju šteti za pogodbe o izvajanju javne službe.
According to Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 the amount of the compensation for the unilateral imposition of a PSO needs to be limited to the difference between the costs for discharging the obligation and the revenues generated through the obligation.
V skladu s členom 10 Uredbe (EGS) št. 1191/69 je treba višino nadomestila za enostransko uvedbo obveznosti javne službe omejiti na razliko med stroški za izvajanje obveznosti in prihodki, nastalimi z izvajanjem.
In the Opening Decision, the Commission thus considered that for an assessment of compatibility under that regulation it had to verify whether the compensation paid by the Irish authorities was limited to the difference between the costs incurred for discharging the PSOs and the revenues generated through the sale of bus tickets.
Komisija je v sklepu o začetku postopka zato menila, da mora za oceno združljivosti v okviru navedene uredbe preveriti, ali je bilo nadomestilo, ki so ga plačali irski organi, omejeno na razliko med stroški, nastalimi z izpolnjevanjem obveznosti javne službe, in prihodki iz prodaje avtobusnih vozovnic.
On the basis of the information available at that stage, the Commission had doubts whether Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus had been overcompensated.
Komisija je na podlagi informacij, ki so ji bile zdaj na voljo, dvomila, da sta Bus Éireann in Dublin Bus prejela previsoko nadomestilo.
