The section of the Transport Act, 1950, mentioned in the previous recital was repealed by the Transport Act, 1958, whose Section 7 provides: ‘It shall be the general duty of the Board [CIÉ] to provide reasonable, efficient and economical transport services with due regard to safety of operation, the encouragement of national economic development and the maintenance of reasonable conditions of employment for its employees.’.
Navedeni zakon o prometu iz leta 1950 je bil razveljavljen z zakonom o prometu iz leta 1958, v katerem člen 7 določa: „Splošna dolžnost CIÉ je zagotavljanje primernih, učinkovitih in gospodarnih prevoznih storitev ob upoštevanju varnega delovanja, spodbujanju nacionalnega gospodarskega razvoja in vzdrževanju ustreznih delovnih pogojev za svoje zaposlene.“
The Transport (Re-organisation of CIÉ) Act, 1986, defines the principal objectives and duties of Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus.
Zakon o prometu (reorganizacija CIÉ) iz leta 1986 opredeljuje glavne cilje in dolžnosti družb Bus Éireann in Dublin Bus.
Section 8(2) of that Act provides that ‘the principal object of the Irish bus company shall be stated in its memorandum of association to be to provide, within the State and between the State and places outside the State, a passenger service by road, except in so far as such a service is provided by the Dublin bus company, and to provide ancillary services and for those purposes to exercise functions in that behalf conferred on the Board [CIÉ] by the Act of 1950 or any other enactment’.
Člen 8(2) tega zakona določa, da je „glavni cilj irskega avtobusnega prevoznika naveden v aktu o ustanovitvi družbe, in sicer da znotraj države ter med državo in kraji zunaj nje zagotavlja storitve cestnega potniškega prometa, razen kadar take storitve zagotavlja dublinski avtobusni prevoznik, ter da zagotavlja pomožne storitve in v ta namen izvaja funkcije, ki izhajajo iz tega, dodeljene CIÉ z zakonom iz leta 1950 ali katerim koli drugim predpisom“.
Section 8(3) of that Act specifies that ‘[t]he principal object of the Dublin bus company shall be stated in its memorandum of association to be to provide a passenger service by road for the city and county of Dublin and contiguous areas and to provide ancillary services, within the State and between the State and places outside the State, and for those purposes to exercise functions in that behalf conferred on the Board by the Act of 1950 or any other enactment’.
Člen 8(3) navedenega zakona določa, da je „glavni cilj dublinskega avtobusnega prevoznika naveden v aktu o ustanovitvi družbe, in sicer da zagotavlja storitve cestnega potniškega prometa za mesto Dublin, dublinsko okrožje in sosednja območja ter pomožne storitve znotraj države ter med državo in kraji zunaj nje ter da za te namene izvaja funkcije, ki izhajajo iz tega, dodeljene CIÉ z zakonom iz leta 1950 ali katerim koli drugim predpisom“.
In addition, according to Section 8(10) of the Transport (Re-organisation of CIÉ) Act, 1986, CIÉ and its bus companies must take into account their social role and the need to maintain public transport services to the maximum extent possible within the available financial resources.
Poleg tega morajo družba CIÉ in njena avtobusna prevoznika v skladu s členom 8(10) zakona o prometu (reorganizacija CIÉ) iz leta 1986 upoštevati svojo družbeno vlogo in potrebo po ohranitvi storitev javnega prometa v največji možni meri v okviru razpoložljivih finančnih virov.
The Irish authorities further explained that the standard journey fares (including the adult standard journey fares on all categories of services and school child fares on city services) [8] charged by Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann are subject to the control of the Minister of Transport in terms of the maximum fares that can be charged.
Irski organi so nadalje pojasnili, da standardne voznine (vključno s standardnimi vozninami za odrasle za vse kategorije storitev in vozninami za šolske otroke za mestne storitve) [8], ki jih zaračunavata Dublin Bus in Bus Éireann, nadzira minister za promet, ki določi najvišje dovoljene voznine.
Neither bus operator is permitted to increase those fares without the prior consent of the Department of Transport.
Nobeden od avtobusnih prevoznikov ne sme povišati navedenih voznin brez predhodnega dovoljenja ministrstva za promet.
Fares charged by private operators are not subject to any notification or control procedures.
Voznin, ki jih zaračunavajo zasebni prevozniki, ni treba priglasiti niti se nad njimi ne izvaja nadzor.
Since 10 January 2001, both CIÉ bus operators are required by a Ministerial direction [9] to notify to the Department of Transport proposed new services or proposed changes to existing services at least four weeks prior to their introduction.
Od 10. januarja 2001 morata v skladu z ministrskim navodilom [9] oba avtobusna prevoznika CIÉ ministrstvu za promet priglasiti predlagane nove storitve ali predlagane spremembe obstoječih storitev najmanj štiri tedne pred njihovo uvedbo.
Such notification by CIÉ bus operators must be supported by full details of the services proposed.
To priglasitev morata podpreti z izčrpnimi podatki o predlaganih storitvah.
Where the Department of Transport determines that proposed services would conflict with an existing licensed passenger road service, CIÉ companies are required to formally seek the consent of the Minister of Transport under Section 25 of the Transport Act, 1958.
Kadar ministrstvo za promet ugotovi, da bi bile predlagane storitve v nasprotju z odobrenimi obstoječimi storitvami cestnega potniškega prometa, morata v skladu s členom 25 zakona o prometu iz leta 1958 ministra za promet uradno zaprositi za soglasje.
Memoranda of Understanding
Memorandumi o soglasju
From 2003 to 2009, the payment of compensation to Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann was the subject of annual Memoranda of Understanding with both companies.
Za plačilo nadomestila prevoznikoma Dublin Bus in Bus Éireann sta od leta 2003 do 2009 veljali letni memorandumi o soglasju z obema družbama.
The Irish authorities explained that those Memoranda of Understanding identify the quality (including customer service quality, cleanliness, bus age, accessibility, etc.) and quantity (including number of buses, operated kilometres, customers carried, etc.) of services to be provided by each of the companies in return for the Exchequer payments.
Irski organi so pojasnili, da sta v navedenih memorandumih o soglasju opredeljeni kakovost storitev (vključno s službo za pomoč strankam, čistočo, starostjo avtobusa, dostopnostjo itd.) in količina storitev (vključno s številom avtobusov, prevoženih kilometrov, prevoženih strank itd.), ki jih opravi posamezna družba v zameno za plačila državne blagajne.
Furthermore, the financial and operational requirements and monitoring and reporting arrangements are regulated by those Memoranda of Understanding.
Poleg tega navedeni memorandumi o soglasju urejajo finančne in operativne zahteve ter ureditve glede spremljanja in poročanja.
From 2005 to 2008, payment of a fixed portion of the subsidy for each of the operating companies was conditional on meeting certain performance criteria laid down in the Memoranda of Understanding.
Fiksni del subvencije za posamezno družbo je med letoma 2005 in 2008 temeljil na izpolnjevanju določenih meril uspešnosti iz memorandumov o soglasju.
National Development Plans
Nacionalni razvojni načrti
The National Development Plans cover all sectors of the economy and have as their main objectives the improvement of the Irish economic and social infrastructure.
V nacionalnih razvojnih načrtih so zajeti vsi sektorji gospodarstva, njihovi glavni cilji pa so izboljšanje irske gospodarske in socialne infrastrukture.
The activities of the National Development Plans are financed through public, private and Union funds [10].
Dejavnosti nacionalnih razvojnih načrtov se financirajo z javnimi in zasebnimi sredstvi ter sredstvi Unije [10].
The National Development Plan 2007-13 was discontinued in 2011 and replaced by the Infrastructure and Capital Investment Plan 2012-16.
Irski organi so 14. aprila 2008 objavili dublinski zakon o prometu iz leta 2008, da bi se „spodbudila ustanovitev novega organa za promet s splošno odgovornostjo za usklajevanje upravljanja prevoza in prometa ter razporejanje kapitala in sedanje financiranje javnega prevoza v širšem območju Dublina“.
National Transport Authority and new public service contracts
V zakonu o urejanju javnega prevoza iz leta 2009 je bil novi organ pozneje preimenovan v nacionalni organ za promet (National Transport Authority).
On 14 April 2008, the Irish authorities published the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 to ‘facilitate the establishment of a new Transport Authority with overall responsibility for coordinating transport and traffic management, and allocating capital and current funding for public transport in the Greater Dublin Area’.
Novi organ je prevzel urejanje storitev javnega avtobusnega potniškega prometa za celotno državo.
The 2009 Public Transport Regulation Act later renamed the new authority as the National Transport Authority.
Člen 48(1)(b) dublinskega zakona o prometu iz leta 2008 navaja, da „[k]adar [nacionalni] organ [za promet] predlaga, da se zagotovi izvajanje javnih storitev potniškega prevoza […], se […] to stori na podlagi javnega naročila“.
The new authority took over the regulation of public bus passenger services for the whole country.
Nacionalni organ za promet je 1. decembra 2009 podpisal dve pogodbi o izvajanju javne službe v skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 1370/2007 v zvezi z nadomestilom za obveznosti javne službe za obdobje petih let.
Section 48(1)(b) of the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 states that ‘Where the [National Transport] Authority proposes to secure the provision of public passenger transport services […] it shall […] do so in accordance with a public transport services contract.’.
Ena pogodba je bila podpisana z družbo Dublin Bus v zvezi s storitvami na širšem območju Dublina, druga pa z družbo Bus Éireann v zvezi s storitvami v preostalem delu države.
On 1 December 2009, the National Transport Authority signed two public service contracts pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, concerning compensation for public service obligations (‘PSO’s), for a period of five years.
Hkrati sta prej navedena memoranduma o soglasju (glej člen 3.2) prenehala veljati.
One contract was with Dublin Bus relating to services in the Greater Dublin Area, and the other with Bus Éireann relating to services in the rest of the country.
Ker sklep o začetku postopka ne zajema navedenih pogodb o izvajanju javne službe, je proučitev letnega nadomestila za izvajanje, ki ga je v navedenem sklepu Irska dodelila avtobusnima prevoznikoma Dublin Bus in Bus Éireann za avtobusne storitve v mestnem, primestnem in regionalnem prometu, omejena na obdobje pred 1. decembrom 2009, tj. datumom, na katerega sta za navedene storitve začeli veljati navedeni pogodbi.
Simultaneously, the aforementioned Memoranda of Understanding (see Section 3.2) were discontinued.
Irski organi so v dopisu Komisiji z dne 23. novembra 2012 navedli, da so bila „[…] kapitalska nepovratna sredstva, izplačana družbama Dublin Bus in Bus Éireann, vključno z nepovratnimi sredstvi za nove avtobuse […], v skladu z določbami dublinskega zakona o prometu iz leta 2008.
Since the Opening Decision does not cover those public service contracts, the examination of the annual operating compensation granted by Ireland to Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann for urban, suburban and regional bus services in this Decision is limited to period before 1 December 2009, the date on which those contracts began to govern those services.
Ta izplačila so izhajala iz člena 45 navedenega zakona, ki nacionalnemu organu za promet omogoča financiranje infrastrukture javnega prevoza, in/ali iz člena 49, ki določa financiranje javnih naročil za storitve prevoza“.
The Irish authorities, in a letter to the Commission of 23 November 2012, stipulated that ‘[…] Capital Grants paid to Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann including grants for new buses […] have been made under the provisions of the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008.
V členu 45(1) dublinskega zakona o prometu iz leta 2008 je navedeno: „[Nacionalni] [o]rgan [za promet] lahko pod pogoji, ki se mu zdijo primerni, dodeli nepovratna sredstva organom javnega prevoza ali tretjim osebam iz zneskov, ki jih zagotovi Oireachtas [irski nacionalni parlament], da se zagotovi infrastruktura javnega prometa, dodeljena takim organom ali tretjim osebam […]“.
These payments would arise under Section 45 of that Act which allows the NTA to fund public transport infrastructure and/or under Section 49 which provides for funding of public transport services contracts’.
V členu 49(1) dublinskega zakona o prometu iz leta 2008 je navedeno: „Kadar [nacionalni] organ [za promet] sklene pogodbo o izvajanju javne prometne službe v skladu s členom 48, lahko pod pogoji, ki se mu zdijo primerni, izvede plačila zadevnemu organu javnega prevoza iz zneskov, ki jih zagotovi Oireachtas ali drugi vir, za zagotavljanje javnih storitev potniškega prometa, navedenih v zadevni pogodbi“.
According to Section 45(1) of the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 ‘The [National Transport] Authority may, subject to such conditions as it sees fit, make grants to public transport authorities or third parties out of moneys provided by the Oireachtas [Irish National Parliament], in respect of the securing of public transport infrastructure assigned to such authorities or third parties […]’.
Ob upoštevanju uvodnih izjav 31 do 33 in ker sklep o začetku postopka ne zajema nepovratnih sredstev v okviru dublinskega zakona o prometu iz leta 2008, je ustrezno obdobje za proučitev financiranja Irske za nove avtobuse in infrastrukturo za navedeni družbi v tem sklepu omejeno na obdobje pred 1. decembrom 2009, tj. datumom, na katerega je začel veljati del navedenega zakona, ki vsebuje člene, navedene v uvodnih izjavah 31 do 33 [11].
According to Section 49(1) of the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008 ‘Where the [National Transport] Authority enters into a public transport services contract under Section 48, it may, subject to such conditions as it sees fit, make payments to the public transport operator concerned out of moneys provided by the Oireachtas or otherwise, in respect of the provision of public passenger transport services referred to in that contract.’.
Sporazumi v zvezi s shemo za prevoz učencev
In the light of recitals 31 to 33, and since the Opening Decision does not cover grants made under the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008, the relevant period for the examination of the funding for new buses and for infrastructure by Ireland to these two companies in this Decision is limited to the period before 1 December 2009, the date on which the part of that Act which contains the sections of that Act mentioned in recitals 31 to 33, came into force [11].
Bus Éireann izvaja shemo za prevoz učencev po pogodbi z ministrstvom za izobraževanje in usposabljanje.
Agreements concerning the School Transport Scheme
CIÉ shemo izvaja od leta 1967, od sprejetja zakona o prometu (reorganizacija CIÉ) iz leta 1986 [12] pa Bus Éireann.
Bus Éireann operates the School Transport Scheme on behalf of the Department of Education and Skills.
Prvotne finančne ureditve za shemo so bile določene v računovodskem sporazumu iz leta 1968 [13], ki vsebuje opis stroškov, upravičenih do povrnitve ob začetku sheme.
The scheme has been operated by CIÉ since 1967, and since the Transport (Re-organisation of CIÉ) Act, 1986 [12], by Bus Éireann.
Vendar so irski organi potrdili, da sedanja računovodska ureditev temelji na posodobljenem sporazumu iz leta 1975 [14].
The original financial arrangements for the scheme were set out in an accounting agreement from 1968 [13], which describes the costs eligible for reimbursement at the inception of the scheme.
Večino storitev sheme za prevoz učencev za Bus Éireann trenutno izvajajo podizvajalci, in sicer avtobusni prevozniki iz zasebnega sektorja.
However, the Irish authorities confirmed that the current accounting arrangements are based on an updated agreement from 1975 [14].
Letni memorandumi o soglasju ne navajajo sheme za prevoz učencev, ki je irski organi ne obravnavajo kot obveznost javne službe in je na računih Bus Éireann opredeljena kot komercialna storitev (glej oddelek 4.4).
The majority of the School Transport Scheme services are currently subcontracted by Bus Éireann to private sector bus operators.
OPIS UKREPOV
The annual Memoranda of Understanding for Bus Éireann do not refer to the School Transport Scheme, which the Irish Authorities do not regard as a PSO and which is classified as a commercial service in Bus Éireann's accounts (see Section 4.4).
Letno nadomestilo za izvajanje za avtobusne storitve v mestnem, primestnem in regionalnem prometu
DESCRIPTION OF THE MEASURES
Irski organi podpirajo družbi Bus Éireann in Dublin Bus z letnimi izplačili nadomestila za izvajanje storitev javnega avtobusnega prevoza, ki se uvrščajo med obveznosti javne službe.
Annual operating compensation for urban, suburban and regional bus services
Obveznosti javne službe družbe Bus Éireann so v celoti storitve v mestnem, primestnem in regionalnem prometu (storitve linijskega in mestnega prevoza).
The Irish authorities support Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus through annual compensation payments for the operation of public bus transport services that fall under a PSO.
Druge storitve Bus Éireann, kot so na primer medkrajevne medregionalne avtobusne storitve „Expressway“, zasebni najem, dnevni izleti, mednarodni avtobusni prevozi Eurolines in shema za prevoz učencev, se ne uvrščajo med obveznost javne službe ter jih po navedbah Irske družba knjiži kot komercialne storitve.
Bus Éireann's PSO services are all urban, suburban and regional services (Stage Carriage and City Services).
Storitve v okviru obveznosti javne službe družbe Dublin Bus so urbane mestne storitve, ki jih družba izvaja v širšem območju Dublina.
Other Bus Éireann services, such as long distance interregional ‘Expressway’, private hire, day tours, Eurolines international coach services, and the School Transport Scheme, do not fall under a PSO and, according to Ireland, the company accounts for them as commercial services.
Druge storitve družbe Dublin Bus, kot so vodeni ogledi, povezava z letališčem Airlink Airport Express in najem avtobusa/posebni dogodki, se ne uvrščajo med obveznosti javne službe in jih družba knjiži kot komercialne storitve.
Dublin Bus's PSO services are the urban city services that they operate in the Greater Dublin area.
Irski organi so za obdobje 2003–2009 predložili letna izplačila nadomestil, navedena v preglednici 1, družbi CIÉ za Bus Éireann in Dublin Bus za namen izvajanja obveznosti javne službe.
Other Dublin Bus services, namely sightseeing tours, Airlink Airport Express and bus hire/special events, do not fall under a PSO and the company accounts for them as commercial services.
Preglednica 1
For the period 2003 to 2009, the Irish authorities provided the annual compensation payments set out in Table 1 to CIÉ for Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus for the purpose of running PSO services.

Irski organi navajajo, da se ta plačila nadomestil uporabljajo zgolj za namen izvajanja obveznosti javne službe in nikakor ne za subvencioniranje komercialnih storitev avtobusnih prevoznikov.
The Irish authorities state that these compensation payments are used solely for the purpose of running the PSO services and in no way subsidise the bus companies' commercial services.
Poleg tega se morebitni dobiček, ki izhaja iz komercialnih storitev obeh družb, uporabi za navzkrižno subvencioniranje obveznosti javne službe, ki ustvarjajo izgubo, pri čemer zlasti družba Bus Éireann svoje obveznosti javne službe podpira s svojimi dobičkonosnimi komercialnimi storitvami.
Furthermore, any profits generated by the commercial services of either company are used to cross-subsidise loss-making PSO services, and Bus Éireann in particular has supported its PSO services from its profitable commercial services.
Zneski letnih nadomestil so bili od leta 2003 do leta 2009 vnaprej določeni v memorandumih o soglasju, ki sta jih oba avtobusna prevoznika vsako leto podpisala z ministrstvom za promet.
From 2003 to 2009, the annual compensation amounts were specified in advance in the Memoranda of Understanding which both bus companies signed with the Department of Transport each year.
Navedeni memorandumi so vsebovali tudi opis avtobusnih storitev.
Those Memoranda also described the bus services to be provided.
Financiranje novih avtobusov
Financing of new buses
Irski organi družbi Bus Éireann in Dublin Bus podpirajo tudi z nepovratnimi sredstvi za financiranje novih avtobusov v okviru nacionalnih razvojnih načrtov.
The Irish authorities also support Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus with grants for the funding of new buses under the National Development Plans.
V obdobju 2000–2008 je CIÉ prejela nepovratna sredstva za svoja avtobusna prevoznika za namen izvajanja obveznosti javne službe, kot je navedeno v preglednici 2.
From 2000-08, grants were made to CIÉ for its bus operators for the purpose of running PSO services, as set out in Table 2.
Nepovratna sredstva za nove avtobuse, ki se proučujejo v tem sklepu, so bila prvič odobrena leta 2000, ker je to prvo leto nacionalnega razvojnega načrta za obdobje 2000–2006 [15], zadnjič pa bodo leta 2009 [16].
The grants for new buses examined by this Decision begin in 2000, because this is the first year of the National Development Plan 2000-06 [15], and end in 2009 [16].
Preglednica 2
Table 2
Kapitalska nepovratna sredstva za obnovitev voznega parka (v mio.
Capital Grants for Fleet Replacement, EUR (millions)
EUR)
The Irish authorities stated that the grants are paid as partial compensation to Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus in respect of the purchase of vehicles that are only used for running PSO services and that the grants have the effect of lowering annual PSO compensation payments.
Irski organi so navedli, da se nepovratna sredstva izplačajo kot delno nadomestilo družbama Bus Éireann in Dublin Bus za nakup vozil, ki se uporabljajo zgolj za izvajanje obveznosti javne službe, in da naj bi se zaradi teh nepovratnih sredstev plačila letnega nadomestila za obveznost javne službe zmanjšala.
However, the funding set out in Table 2 only accounts for part of the budget for the purchase of vehicles for PSO services, since some vehicles are purchased wholly or partially from Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus's own resources.
Vendar financiranje iz preglednice 2 velja le za del proračuna za nakup vozil za izvajanje obveznosti javne službe, saj se nakup nekaterih vozil v celoti ali delno plača iz lastnih sredstev družb Bus Éireann in Dublin Bus.
Where this is the case, the fleet may be used on both commercial and PSO services.
V takih primerih se vozni park lahko uporablja tako za komercialne storitve kot za obveznosti javne službe.
A depreciation charge is included with the PSO profit and loss account in respect of the use of such vehicles on PSO services.
V izkazu poslovnega izida obveznosti javne službe je vključen znesek amortizacije v zvezi z uporabo takih vozil za obveznosti javne službe.
In the case of a vehicle whose purchase was only partially grant funded, only a depreciation charge proportionate to the contribution of the bus company is included with the PSO profit and loss account in respect of the use of such a vehicle on PSO services.
Če je nakup vozila le delno financiran z nepovratnimi sredstvi, se v izkaz poslovnega izida obveznosti javne službe vključi le znesek amortizacije, ki je sorazmeren prispevku avtobusnega prevoznika, ob upoštevanju uporabe takšnega vozila za obveznosti javne službe.
The purchase of buses used for commercial services only is entirely at the expense of the bus companies.
Nakup avtobusov zgolj za komercialne storitve je v celoti strošek avtobusnih prevoznikov.
Financing of dedicated infrastructure
Financiranje namenske infrastrukture
