Since the measure implemented by Romania for Termoelectrica and Electrocentrale Deva constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty, its compatibility must be assessed in the light of the exceptions laid down in paragraphs 2 and 3 of that Article.
S to združitvijo je podjetje CEH prevzelo vse pravice in obveznosti podjetja Electrocentrale Paroseni, ki je prenehalo obstajati kot ločen pravni subjekt.
In this case, the aid provided the beneficiaries with current operating revenues, not specifically earmarked for any particular investment that would have been capable of improving production or distribution of electricity.
Iz tega sledi, da je med podjetjem Electrocentrale Paroseni, ki je prevzelo dejavnosti, ki so prejemale pomoč, in podjetjem CEH, v katerega je bilo združeno 1. novembra 2012 in ki je prevzelo vse njegove pravice in obveznosti, obstajala pravna kontinuiteta.
The compatibility with the internal market of operating aid of this kind pursuant to Article 107(2) or (3) of the Treaty has to be restrictively assessed, under strict conditions.
Obveznost vračila pomoči, dodeljene podjetju Termoelectrica, je tako treba razširiti na podjetje CEH.
The recurrent and long-lasting operating aid involved during two years does not appear to be necessary, nor contribute to any clear objective of common interest of the Union.
Electrocentrale Deva – gospodarska kontinuiteta s podjetjem CEH
The proportionality of the aid is not established either.
Kakor je opisano v uvodni izjavi 51, podjetje Electrocentrale Deva, ki je v celoti izkoristilo pomoč kot samostojni pravni subjekt, čeprav je bilo pod nadzorom podjetja Termoelectrica, ne obstaja več kot samostojni subjekt.
Furthermore and in any event, according to settled case-law of the Court of Justice, it is up to the Member State to invoke possible grounds of compatibility and to demonstrate that the conditions for such compatibility are met [41].
Vendar med podjetjem Electrocentrale Deva kot pravnim subjektom, ki je izkoristilo pomoč, in podjetjem CEH, v katerega je bilo pripojeno 1. novembra 2012 in ki je prevzelo vse njegove pravice in obveznosti, obstaja pravna kontinuiteta.
The Romanian authorities did not invoke any possible grounds on which the State aid could be considered compatible with the internal market of the State aid and the Commission has not identified any possible grounds for compatibility.
Poleg tega kar nekaj elementov kaže na obstoj gospodarske kontinuitete med podjetjema Electrocentrale Deva in CEH, na primer: (i) v zvezi z združitvijo podjetij Electrocentrale Deva in Electrocentrale Paroseni je novo ustanovljeno podjetje CEH prevzelo zagon obeh podjetij od avgusta 2012 skupaj z njunimi sredstvi za obratovanje in zaposlenimi; (ii) novo ustanovljeno podjetje CEH je imelo leta 2012 proizvodnjo električne energije za svojo glavno gospodarsko dejavnost tako kot podjetje Electrocentrale Deva; (iii) obe podjetji sta v izključni lasti države: kakor je prikazano v uvodni izjavi 50, je bilo na datum prekinitve dobave električne energije pod pogodbama podjetje Termoelectrica, ki je v izključni lasti države, 100-odstotni lastnik podjetij Electrocentrale Deva in Electrocentrale Paroseni; (iv) novo ustanovljeno podjetje CEH je prav tako v 100-odstotni lasti države.
In the light of the above, the Commission considers the State aid channelled through the Contracts to be incompatible with the internal market.
Glede na navedeno je ugotovljena pravna in gospodarska kontinuiteta med podjetji Electrocentrale Deva, Termoelectrica, prek Electrocentrale Paroseni na eni strani in podjetjem CEH na drugi strani.
Recovery
V tem pogledu zamenjava terjatev v lastniške deleže na podlagi neodvisnega vrednotenja prenosa deležev, ki je bilo izvedeno pred združitvijo podjetij Electrocentrale Deva in Electrocentrale Paroseni v podjetje CEH (uvodna izjava 50), ne prekine kontinuitete med tremi zadevnimi podjetji.
According to the Treaty and the Court's established case-law, the Commission is competent to decide that the Member State concerned must abolish or alter aid when it has found that it is incompatible with the internal market.
Posel z deleži ne vpliva na identiteto upravičenca(-ev) pomoči, kot tudi ne na zadržane in prenesene ugodnosti, ne glede na identiteto družbenika, ki je bila v tem primeru na koncu romunska država, pred letom 2011 in po združitvi v podjetje CEH.
The Court has also consistently held that the obligation on a Member State to abolish aid regarded by the Commission as being incompatible with the internal market is designed to re-establish the previously existing situation.
Iz tega sledi, da je treba obveznosti vračila podjetij Electrocentrale Deva in Termoelectrica razširiti na podjetje CEH.
In this context, the Court has established that this objective is attained once the recipient has repaid the amounts granted by way of unlawful aid, thus forfeiting the advantage which it had enjoyed over its competitors on the market, and the situation prior to the payment of the aid is restored [44].
Sklepna ugotovitev glede vračila
In line with the case-law, Article 14(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 [45] stated that ‘where negative decisions are taken in cases of unlawful aid, the Commission shall decide that the Member State concerned shall take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary […]’.
Znesek pomoči (brez obresti), ki se izterja, načeloma znaša 3656675 RON za podjetje Electrocentrale Deva in 22619821 RON za podjetje Termoelectrica.
Thus, given that the State aid in question was not notified to the Commission, in violation of Article 108 of the Treaty and is, therefore, to be considered as unlawful and given that the aid is also incompatible with the internal market, the aid must be recovered in order to re-establish the situation that existed on the market prior to its granting.
Glede na pravno in gospodarsko kontinuiteto, ugotovljeno med podjetji Electrocentrale Deva, Termoelectrica in CEH, je treba obveznost izterjave od obeh upravičencev razširiti na podjetje CEH.
Recovery should cover the time from when the advantage accrued to the beneficiaries, that is to say when the aid was put at the disposal of the beneficiaries, until ceasing of deliveries end of 2011 [46], and the sums to be recovered should bear interest until effective recovery.
SKLEPNE UGOTOVITVE
The recovery amount would be the difference between the annual average of the price at which Hidroelectrica purchased electricity from Termoelectrica and Electrocentrale Deva as set out in recital 32 and the highest prices applied on the market each year for the total quantities supplied by them.
Pogodbi, ki ju je podjetje Hidroelectrica sklenilo s podjetjema Termoelectrica in Electrocentrale Deva, sta v letih 2010 in 2011 vsebovali ugodnejše cene električne energije v korist slednjih podjetij.
This difference is set out in recital 89.
Pomenili sta državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
Based on price differences applicable on 1 January 2010 and 1 January 2011 throughout the annual period, for purposes of simplification, the resulting amounts to recover are RON 3656675 for Electrocentrale Deva and RON 22619821 for Termoelectrica.
Romunija je to pomoč izvajala nezakonito in pri tem kršila člen 108(3) Pogodbe.
Alternatively, the Romanian authorities may estimate the amounts based on intra-year (e.g. monthly, bi-monthly) actual prices charged to Hidroelectrica
Ta pomoč je nezdružljiva z notranjim trgom –
Interest shall be added to these amounts, whichever of the two methods to calculate them is used, based on the schedule of actual monthly deliveries of electricity to Hidroelectrica between 2009 and 2011, taking into account the difference with market prices referred to in recital 89.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
It is furthermore appropriate to examine, in light of the facts of this case, whether the recovery obligation should be extended to or carried out from one or more legal entities other than Termoelectrica and Electrocentrale Deva, by virtue of legal succession or economic continuity with a different undertaking than Termoelectrica and Electrocentrale Deva with which there would be economic continuity, in case they would be unable to meet the recovery obligations.
Člen 1
In that respect, the case-law from the EU Courts has identified several criteria which the Commission may take into account, combined or in isolation, in order to determine the economic continuity between two different undertakings [47].
Državna pomoč načeloma v višini 3656675 RON za podjetje Electrocentrale Deva in 22619821 RON za podjetje Termoelectrica v obliki ugodnejših cen električne energije v korist teh podjetij, ki jo je Romunija dodelila nezakonito in pri tem kršila člen 108(3) Pogodbe, je nezdružljiva z notranjim trgom.
Termoelectrica — economic continuity with CEH
Člen 2
As described in recital 52, Termoelectrica is a company in liquidation.
Romunija nezdružljivo pomoč, navedeno v členu 1, izterja od upravičencev.
According to well-established case-law, the fact that a company is insolvent and cannot pay back the aid is not a reason to exempt it from recovery.
Obveznost vračila pomoči se razširi na podjetje CE Hunedoara.
In such cases, the restoration of the previous situation and the elimination of the distortion of competition may, in principle, be achieved by registration of the liability relating to the repayment of the aid in the schedule of liabilities [48].
Vsoti, ki se vrne, se prištejejo obresti od datuma, ko sta bili dani na razpolago upravičencema, do datuma njunega dejanskega vračila.
Where the State authorities are unable to recover the full amount of aid, the registration of the liability can meet the recovery obligation only if the insolvency proceedings result the definitive cessation of the undertaking's activities [49].
Obresti se izračunajo z obrestnoobrestnim računom v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 [51].Člen 3
However, where the undertaking which received the unlawful aid is insolvent and a company has been created to continue some of the activities of the insolvent undertaking, the pursuit of those activities may, where the aid concerned is not recovered in its entirety, prolong the distortion of competition brought about by the competitive advantage which that company enjoyed on the market as compared with its competitors.
Vračilo pomoči iz člena 1 se izvede takoj in učinkovito.
Accordingly, such a newly created company may, if it retains that advantage, be required to repay the aid in question [50].
Romunija zagotovi, da se ta sklep izvede v štirih mesecih od datuma, ko je bila o njem uradno obveščena.
This would for instance be the case if, before the liquidation of the beneficiary of the aid, the assets having benefited from the aid are transferred, as a going concern, to a daughter company created to continue the activity of the beneficiary (economic succession).
Člen 4
Moreover, if the beneficiary undertaking is merged with another undertaking, transferring all its rights and obligation to the merged entity, the obligation to repay the aid is also transferred to the latter (legal succession).
V dveh mesecih po uradnem obvestilu o tem sklepu Romunija predloži naslednje podatke:
In the present case, in the absence of recovery of the full amount of aid, which benefitted the activities of Termoelectrica, it is necessary to examine whether there would be economic continuity and/or legal continuity between Termoelectrica and other companies.
skupni znesek (glavnica in obresti vračila), ki jih je treba izterjati od posameznega upravičenca,
In respect of economic continuity, as set out in recitals (48 and 51), in September 2011 Termoelectrica created a subsidiary, Electrocentrale Paroseni, to which it transferred (within the same state-owned group) the power plant which actually delivered the purchased quantity of electricity under the Contract with Termoelectrica (recitals 48-65), including all the rights and obligations of Termoelectrica stemming from that Contract, and continued selling electricity to Hidroelectrica under this Contract until October 2011 (when it was merged in CEH).
podrobni opis že sprejetih in načrtovanih ukrepov za upoštevanje tega sklepa, vključno z dokazi, da je nalog za izterjavo vpisan na ustrezno mesto v postopku likvidacije podjetja Termoelectrica,
Therefore, Electrocentrale Paroseni took over and continued the activities benefiting of the aid from it mother company Termoelectrica.
če podjetje Termoelectrica ni sposobno izpolniti naloga za izterjavo, odlok proti podjetju Termoelectrica za njegovo razpustitev in dokaz, da je podjetje Termoelectrica dokončno izstopilo iz trga,
It should therefore be considered as the economic successor of Termoelectrica.
dokumenti, ki dokazujejo, da je bilo upravičencema odrejeno vračilo pomoči.
In November 2012, Electrocentrale Paroseni was then merged with Electrocentrale Deva and Electrocentrale Paroseni in the newly created company CEH.
Romunija redno obvešča Komisijo o napredku državnih ukrepov, sprejetih za izvajanje tega sklepa, dokler vračilo pomoči iz člena 1 ni izvedeno v celoti.
Through that merger, CEH took over all the rights and obligations of Electrocentrale Paroseni, which disappeared as a distinct legal entity.
Na zahtevo Komisije takoj predloži informacije o že sprejetih in načrtovanih ukrepih za uskladitev s tem sklepom.
It follows that there is legal continuity between Electrocentrale Paroseni, which took over the activities benefitting from the aid, and CEH, within which it was merged on 1 November 2012 and which took over all its rights and obligations.
Prav tako zagotovi podrobne informacije v zvezi z zneski pomoči in obrestmi vračila, ki jih je upravičenec že vrnil.
The obligation of recovery of the aid granted to Termoelectrica should therefore be extended to CEH.
Člen 5
Electrocentrale Deva — economic continuity with CEH
Ta sklep je naslovljen na Romunijo.
As described in recital 51, Electrocentrale Deva, which fully benefitted from the aid as an independent legal entity, though controlled by Termoelectrica, does not exist as an independent entity anymore.
V Bruslju, 20. aprila 2015
However, there is legal continuity between Electrocentrale Deva as legal entity which benefitted of the aid and CEH, within which it was merged on 1 November 2012 and which took over all its rights and obligations.
Za Komisijo
Furthermore, several elements show the existence of economic continuity between Electrocentrale Deva and CEH, for example: (i) further to the merger between Electrocentrale Deva and Electrocentrale Paroseni, the newly created company CEH took over starting both companies from August 2012, along with their operational assets and employees; (ii) the newly created company CEH had electricity generation as its main economic activity in 2012, as did Electrocentrale Deva; (iii) both companies are fully state-owned companies: as shown under recital 50 at the date when the deliveries of electricity under the Contracts ceased, Termoelectica, a fully state-owned enterprise, owned in turn 100 % of Electocentrale Deva and Electrocentrale Paroseni; (iv) the newly created company CEH is also 100 % owned by the state.
Članica Komisije
In light of the above, the legal and economic continuity between, on the one hand, Electrocentrale Deva, Termoelectrica, via Electrocentrale Paroseni and, on the other hand, CEH is established.
Sklep Komisije C (2012) 2552 final z dne 25. aprila 2012 v zvezi z zadevo SA.
In that respect, the debt to equity swap based on an independent valuation of the transfer of shares, which preceded the merger of Electrocentrale Deva and Electrocentrale Paroseni within CEH (recital 50), does not interrupt the continuity between the three undertakings concerned.
33475, str. 46.
A share deal does not influence the identity of the beneficiary(ies) of the aid, nor the benefits retained from it and transferred irrespective of the identity of the shareholder which, furthermore, in this case happened to be ultimately the Romanian State before 2011 and after the merger with CEH.
UL C 395, 20.12.2012, str. 46.
It follows that the recovery obligations vis-à-vis Electrocentrale Deva and Termoelectrica should be extended to CEH.

Conclusion on the recovery
Vsi člani upravnega odbora podjetja Hidroelectrica razen generalnega direktorja tega podjetja in predstavnika podjetja Fondul Proprietatea (2010) so istočasno opravljali druge funkcije na različnih ministrstvih in so bili imenovani z odredbami ministrstva za gospodarstvo in trgovino, kakor sledi: (i) v letih 2005–2006: osebni svetovalec v kabinetu ministra za gospodarstvo in trgovino; direktor kabineta ministra za mala in srednja podjetja; osebni svetovalec v kabinetu ministra na ministrstvu za javne finance in osebni svetovalec v generalnem sekretariatu vlade so bili člani upravnega odbora podjetja Hidroelectrica; (ii) v letih 2007–2008: stanje ni znano; (iii) leta 2009: državni sekretar na ministrstvu za gospodarstvo in trgovino je bil hkrati predsednik upravnega odbora podjetja Hidroelectrica (2009), medtem ko so bili državni sekretar na ministrstvu nz javne finance in dva generalna direktorja na ministrstvu za gospodarstvo in trgovino hkrati člani upravnega odbora podjetja Hidroelectrica; (iv) leta 2010: trije osebni svetovalci na ministrstvu za gospodarstvo in trgovino, državni sekretar na ministrstvu za finance in generalni direktor na ministrstvu za gospodarstvo in trgovino so bili člani upravnega odbora podjetja Hidroelectrica.
The amount of aid (without interest) to be recovered should be, in principle, RON 3656675 for Electrocentrale Deva and RON 22619821 for Termoelectrica.
