contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest: a State aid measure must aim at an objective of common interest in accordance with Article 107(3) of the Treaty;
Ni dokazov o tem, da obstaja tržno povpraševanje po zgraditvi novih komercialnih železniških prog in/ali po nadgradnji obstoječih prog za namene zagotavljanja prevoznih storitev pri hitrostih, ki presegajo 320–350 km/h – ter zato po objektu za železniško testiranje, namenjenemu posebej hitrostim, ki presegajo te omejitve [51].
need for State intervention: a State aid measure must be targeted towards a situation where aid can bring about a material improvement that the market cannot deliver itself, for example by remedying a market failure or addressing an equity or cohesion concern;
Dodatni posebni argumenti za pomanjkanje povpraševanja po infrastrukturi CEATF izhajajo iz njegove geografske lege, ki bo po mnenju nekaterih vprašanih povzročila znatne časovne in prevozne stroške.
appropriateness of the aid measure: the proposed aid measure must be an appropriate policy instrument to address the objective of common interest;
Končno, argumenti glede razpoložljivosti bolj naprednih in stroškovno učinkovitih rešitev za morebitno prihodnje testiranje za visoke hitrosti, kot je virtualno testiranje preko rešitev, ki temeljijo na IKT, so prav tako v nasprotju s potrebo po namenskemu fizičnemu objektu testiranja.
incentive effect: the aid must change the behaviour of the undertaking(s) concerned in such a way that it engages in additional activity, which it would not carry out without the aid or would carry out in a restricted or different manner or location;
Zato je trditev, da bi priglašena pomoč spodbudila dodatne dejavnosti R&R&I v železniškem sektorju z zgraditvijo infrastrukture objekta za testiranje za visoke hitrosti v nasprotju z informacijami, ki jih je zbrala Komisija.
proportionality of the aid: the amount and intensity of the aid must be limited to the minimum needed to induce the additional investment or activity by the undertaking(s) concerned;
Drugič, drugi cilji, povezani s politiko, na katere se sklicujejo španski organi, zlasti socialno-ekonomske koristi, ki bi nastale zaradi ustvarjanja novih delovnih mest v regiji Antequera [52], niso pomembni za oceno prispevka priglašene pomoči k cilju skupnega interesa na področju R&R&I.
avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States: the negative effects of aid must be sufficiently limited, so that the overall balance of the measure is positive;
Čeprav španski organi trdijo, da bi iz socialno-ekonomskega vidika projekt CEATF dosegel pozitiven ČSV 17,3 milijona EUR, niso predložili nobenih prepričljivih dokazov o koristih, ki bi bile tako obsežne, da bi nadomestile stroške zgraditve in izgube poslovanja, ki bi jih načrtovana infrastruktura ustvarila v celotnem obdobju delovanja.
transparency of aid: Member States, the Commission, economic operators, and the public, must have easy access to all relevant acts and to pertinent information about the aid awarded thereunder.
Navedene koristi so, kot kaže, omejene na ustvarjanje delovnih mest v gradbenem sektorju v fazi zgraditve infrastrukture.
Contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest
To pomeni, da projekt ne bi prispeval k dolgoročnemu cilju spodbujanja trajnostnega razvoja v regiji Andaluzija, ampak bi nasprotno imel samo kratkoročne, prehodne učinke na lokalno gospodarstvo [53].
The Spanish authorities emphasised in their notification and in the response to the opening decision (see recital 59 of the opening decision and Section 5.2 above) that the project contributes to increased R & D&I investment in Spain, which is one of the objectives of common interest of the EU 2020 Strategy, and fits into the Smart Growth Operational Programme for Spain, adopted in February 2015.
Glede na razmisleke, navedene v uvodnih izjavah 98 do 106, Komisija meni, da Španija ni predložila zadostnih dokazov, s katerimi bi dokazala, da projekt prispeva k natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa.
They claim that the CEATF is a scientific and technical infrastructure which will allow multidisciplinary technical aspects to be tested in the rail sector.
Potreba po posredovanju države
The Spanish authorities also claim that the investment in the CEATF will strengthen the economic development of a region, Andalucía, which faces a high unemployment rate.
Španski organi utemeljujejo potrebo po državni pomoči za ta projekt na podlagi multidisciplinarnega značaja testiranja, ki bi se izvajalo.
First, such claims, should be assessed in view of the demand for such a research facility and in view of the R & D&I activities which could be carried out therein.
Po njihovem mnenju zaradi raznolikega razpona dejavnosti družb, morebitno vpletenih v to testiranje (na primer družbe za javna dela, komunikacijo, signalizacijo, vleko in železniški vozni park), ne bi nobena družba samostojno dosegla kritične mase ali imela finančno sposobnost za izvedbo naložbe, ki je tako velika kot naložba, potrebna za CEATF, ali za pritegnitev in združitev drugih družb za takšno naložbo.
As detailed in recitals 60 to 62 of the opening decision, the Commission questioned the existence of demand from rolling stock and railway equipment manufacturers for this specific research infrastructure.
Kar zadeva financiranje projekta, so španski organi izjavili, da je edini vir financiranja, ki je na voljo za zgraditev CEATF, javno financiranje, „ob upoštevanju študij dobičkonosnosti, ki jih je opravil ADIF“.
In particular, the Commission referred to the failure of the first tender for the construction and operation of CEATF, as well as to the high costs of construction and operation of railway networks, designed to provide commercial transport services at speeds above 350 km/h, which would not be economically viable in the present market conditions and in the foreseeable future [50].
Argument, ki ga navajajo španski organi, poudarja domnevno tržno nepopolnost v obliki problema usklajevanja za financiranje zgraditve predvidenega objekta.
The comments received from third parties in response to the opening decision confirm the Commission's position that a research infrastructure dedicated to very high speed train tests (testing performed above 385 km/h for commercial transport services provided at speed above 350 km/h) is not needed by the market.
Kot kaže, predpostavlja, da bi bil zato, ker ne bi nobena posamezna družba imela spodbude, da začne financirati projekt, zaradi neravnovesja med stroški in pričakovanimi koristi (na ravni posameznega podjetja), edini možni način za vzdrževanje naložbe ustanovitev konzorcija, ki bi združil različne družbe iz različnih tehničnih področij, kar bi zagotovilo popolno izkoriščanje potenciala objekta preko skupne uporabe.
No rolling stock producers envisage developing products running at such very high speeds due to the lack of market demand for the commercial operation of such trains.
Vendar nič v spisu ne kaže na to, da družbe, ki so potencialno zainteresirane za takšno sodelovanje, tega ne morejo storiti zaradi objektivnih težav, ki ovirajo učinkovito sodelovanje med njimi.
Some railway operators point out the market effectiveness arguments (balance between energy consumption and travelling time) which cap the commercial exploitation of high-speed trains in Europe at much lower speeds (average in Europe — 280-300 km/h, maximum — 320-350 km/h), as well as the exponential increase of the infrastructure's investment, exploitation and maintenance costs for speeds above 300 km/h, which would make the train tickets' prices uncompetitive compared to airplane tickets.
Ravno nasprotno, dejstvo, da je španska vlada posredovala z organizacijo javnega razpisa, da bi olajšala ustanovitev subjekta s posebnim namenom, in da takšen razpisni postopek ni uspel, kaže na to, da se je resnična težava financiranja priglašenega projekta nahajala drugje, in sicer v pomanjkanju njegove finančne sposobnosti.
No evidence suggests that there is market demand for the construction of new commercial railway lines and/or for the upgrading of the existing tracks for the purposes of providing transport services at speeds exceeding 320-350 km/h — and therefore for a rail testing facility specifically dedicated to speeds exceeding such limits [51].
Šibkost argumenta, ki ga navajajo španski organi, potrjuje dejstvo, da tudi ko se je španska vlada odločila nadaljevati z dodelitvijo javnih sredstev družbi ADIF za začetek del, noben zasebni neodvisni vlagatelj ni pokazal zanimanja za sodelovanje pri financiranju.
Additional specific arguments for the lack of demand for CEATF infrastructure stem from its geographical location, which, according to some of the respondents, will induce significant time and transportation expenses.
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da Španija ni predložila zadostnih dokazov o obstoju tržne nepopolnosti v obliki problema usklajevanja na ravni financiranja CEATF.
Finally, the arguments regarding the availability of more advanced and cost effective solutions for a possible future high speed testing, such as virtual testing through ICT based solutions also run against the necessity of a dedicated physical testing facility.
Poleg tega je treba opozoriti, da se praksa odločanja Komisije na področju R&R&I nanaša na tri vrste specifične tržne nepopolnosti: nepopolne in nesimetrične informacije, usklajevalne in mrežne nepopolnosti za dejavnosti R&R&I ter prelivanje znanja.
Therefore, the claim that the notified aid would have induced additional R & D&I activities in the railway sector through the construction of an infrastructure for high speed testing facility is contradicted by the information collected by the Commission.
Vendar španski organi niso pokazali, da je v obravnavanem primeru prišlo do katerega koli od teh specifičnih tržnih nepopolnosti.
Second, other policy-related objectives, invoked by the Spanish authorities, notably the socioeconomic benefits resulting from the creation of new jobs in the region of Antequera [52] are not relevant for the assessment of the contribution of the notified aid to an objective of common interest in the R & D&I field.
Kar zadeva težave pri financiranju projekta CEATF, niso bili predloženi nobeni dokazi o tem, da bi bil zasebni sektor odvrnjen od financiranja projekta zaradi morebitnega pomanjkanja ali asimetrije informacij, specifično povezanih z razpoznavnimi in tveganimi dejavnostmi R&R&I.
Although the Spanish authorities claim that, considered from a socioeconomic perspective, the CEATF project would achieve a positive NPV of EUR 17,3 million, they have not provided any convincing evidence of benefits that would be of such a magnitude so as to offset the construction costs and the operating losses that the planned infrastructure would generate during its whole period of operation.
Glede usklajevalnih in mrežnih nepopolnosti v R&R&I je iz izjav španskih organov jasno, da ni bilo načrtovano nobeno sodelovanje med družbo ADIF in industrijo v testnem centru.
The claimed benefits seem to be limited to the creation of jobs in the construction sector during the construction phase of the infrastructure.
Zdi se, da je cilj pomoči pritegniti družbe k sodelovanju ali pri oblikovanju ali pri uporabi infrastrukture CEATF, vendar pomoč ne spodbudi sodelovanja med njimi za izvajanje skupnih dejavnosti R&R&I v centru.
This means that, far from contributing to a long-term objective of promoting a sustainable development of the Andalucía region, the project would only have short-term, transitory effects on the local economy [53].
Končno, Španija ni predložila nobenih elementov, da bi dokazala obstoj prelivanja znanja v korist tretjim osebam, ki bi se lahko pojavilo v projektu CEATF.
In light of the considerations set out in recitals 98 to 106 above, the Commission considers that Spain did not provide sufficient evidence in order to prove that the project contributes to a well-defined objective of common interest.
Španija ni predložila nobenih drugih argumentov v podporo sklepu, da lahko pomoč omogoči pomembne izboljšave, ki jih trg ne more zagotoviti sam.
Need for State intervention
Glede na razmisleke, navedene v uvodnih izjavah 108 do 113, Komisija ugotavlja, da potreba po posredovanju države ni bila dokazana.
The Spanish authorities justify the need for State aid to this project by the multidisciplinary nature of the technical tests to be carried out.
Ustreznost ukrepa pomoči
According to them, due to the diverse fields of activities of the companies potentially involved in those tests (for example civil works, communication, signalisation, traction, and rolling stock companies) no company would reach, on a stand-alone basis, the critical mass or have the financial capacity to make an investment as large as the one needed for the CEATF or could attract and federate other companies into such investment.
Države članice lahko izbirajo med različnimi instrumenti politike, nadzor državnih pomoči pa ni edini način poseganja v gospodarstvo.
As regards the financing of the project, the Spanish authorities stated that no source of financing other than public financing is available for the construction of the CEATF ‘taking into account the profitability studies made by ADIF’.
Vendar se lahko državno pomoč v skladu s členom 107(1) Pogodbe upraviči samo z ustreznostjo določenega instrumenta, da izpolni cilj javne politike in prispeva k enemu ali več ciljem skupnega interesa [54].
The argument raised by the Spanish authorities points to an alleged market failure in the form of a coordination problem for the financing of the construction of the envisaged facility.
Komisija običajno meni, da je ukrep ustrezen instrument, kadar je država članica preučila, ali obstajajo druge možnosti politike, ki so enako primerne za doseganje cilja skupnega interesa, hkrati pa konkurenco izkrivljajo manj kot selektivna državna pomoč, in kadar lahko dokaže ustreznost ukrepa za doseganje ciljev učinkovitosti in/ali enakosti.
It seems to assume that, since no individual company would have an incentive to embark upon the financing of the project due to the imbalance between its costs and the expected benefits (at the level of the individual firm), the only possible way to sustain the investment would be through the creation of a consortium gathering various companies operating in different technical fields which could ensure the full exploitation of the facility's potential through a joint use.
Španski organi niso predložili nobenih informacij v zvezi z morebitnimi alternativnimi političnimi instrumenti ali drugimi instrumenti pomoči za financiranje projekta.
However, nothing in the file suggests that companies potentially interested to enter into such a collaboration would have been prevented from doing so due to objective difficulties hindering effective collaboration amongst them.
Kot odgovor na pomisleke, ki so bili izraženi v sklepu o začetku postopka, so se omejili na izjavo, da glede na domnevni primanjkljaj financiranja v višini 91,87 % projekta, noben instrument razen javnega financiranja v tem primeru ne bi bil ustrezen.
Quite to the contrary, the fact that the Spanish government intervened in order to facilitate the creation of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) via the organisation of an open tender and that such tender process failed suggests instead that the real problem affecting the financing of the notified project lay elsewhere, namely in its lack of financial viability.
Komisija ugotavlja, da dejstvo, da priglašeni projekt prinaša znatno izgubo tudi ob pomoči, ni zadosten dokaz za to, da je državna pomoč edini ustrezen instrument.
The weakness of the argument put forward by the Spanish authorities is confirmed by the fact that, even when the Spanish government decided to proceed with the allocation of public funding to ADIF to start the works, no private independent investor showed an interest in participating in the funding.
Poleg tega zato, ker ni bilo dokazano, da projekt prispeva k cilju skupnega interesa povečanja dejavnosti R&R&I, tudi ustreznost naložbenega instrumenta, ki ga je izbrala španska vlada, ni bila dokazana.
The Commission therefore concludes that Spain has not provided sufficient evidence of the existence of a market failure in the form of a coordination failure at the level of the financing of the CEATF.
Drugi ukrepi, ki bi dejansko povzročili povečanje dejavnosti R&R&I, bi bili bolj ustrezni instrumenti za izpolnitev cilja skupnega interesa.
In addition, it should be noted that the Commission's decisional practice in the R & D&I field refers to three types of specific market failure: imperfect and asymmetric information, coordination and network failures for R & D&I activities and knowledge spillovers.
Podobni pomisleki vejajo v povezavi z drugimi cilji skupnega interesa, na katere se sklicuje Španija.
However, the Spanish authorities have not shown that any of these specific market failures occurs in the present case.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 106, bi bila nova delovna mesta pretežno omejena na gradbeni sektor in le začasna.
Concerning the difficulties affecting the financing of the CEATF project, no evidence was provided that the private sector would be deterred from financing the project due to a possible lack of or asymmetry of information specifically linked to identifiable and risky R & D&I activities.
Državna pomoč za zgraditev infrastrukture, za katero ni verjetno, da se bo uporabljala, ni ustrezen instrument politike za ustvarjanje rasti in delovnih mest.
As to coordination and network failures in R & D&I, it is clear from the Spanish authorities' statements that no cooperation was planned between ADIF and the industry in the test centre.
Spodbujevalni učinek
It seems that the aid aims at attracting companies in participating either in the design or in the use of the CEATF infrastructure but does not trigger specific cooperation between them in order to perform collaborative R & D&I activities in the centre.
Državna pomoč mora imeti spodbujevalni učinek.
Finally, Spain has provided no elements proving the existence of knowledge spill-overs benefitting third parties that might arise from the CEATF project.
Zahtevani spodbujevalni učinek je prisoten, če pomoč spremeni ravnanje upravičenca v zvezi z doseganjem cilja skupnega interesa in obravnavanjem ugotovljene tržne nepopolnosti.
Spain has provided no other arguments in support of a conclusion that the aid can bring about a material improvement that the market cannot deliver itself.
Španski organi so navedli, da brez pomoči CEATF ne more biti zgrajen: Trdijo, da ima pomoč spodbujevalni učinek, ker projekta brez pomoči ne bi bilo mogoče uresničiti.
In light of the considerations set out in recitals 108 to 113 above, the Commission concludes that the need for State intervention has not been proved.
Vendar v obravnavanem primeru Komisija ugotavlja, da pomoč omogoča zgraditev objekta za železniško testiranje, ki se da na razpolago družbi ADIF kot bodočemu lastniku, ampak kot kaže ne spodbudi kakršne koli spremembe v ravnanju družbe ADIF ali drugih v smislu dodatnih dejavnosti R&R&I, ki bi se izvajale v objektu za testiranje.
Appropriateness of the aid measure
Med formalnim postopkom preiskave španski organi niso predložili nobenih novih informacij ali argumentov v zvezi s spremembo ravnanja družbe ADIF zaradi pomoči.
Member States can make different choices with regard to policy instruments and State aid control does not impose a single way to intervene in the economy.
Čeprav razpoložljivi podatki kažejo, da bo priglašeni projekt prinašal izgubo tudi s pomočjo, španski organi niso dokazali, da bi ustvaril pomembne družbene koristi, povezane z R&R&I.
However, State aid under Article 107(1) of the Treaty can only be justified by the appropriateness of a particular instrument to meet the public policy objective and contribute to one or more of the common interest objectives [54].
Prav nasprotno, pripombe, ki so jih podali morebitni uporabniki infrastrukture med formalno preiskavo, nakazujejo, da projekt, kot je trenutno zasnovan, ne ustreza neizpolnjenim zahtevam družb, ki opravljajo dejavnosti R&R&I znotraj železniškega sektorja, v zvezi s povpraševanjem.
The Commission normally considers that a measure is an appropriate instrument where the Member State has considered whether alternative policy options exist which are equally suitable to achieve the common interest objective but at the same time less distortive to competition than the selective State aid and where it can demonstrate the appropriateness of the measure in targeting efficiency and/or equity objectives.
Predloženih ni bilo nobenih razlogov, ki bi upravičili, da Komisija odstopi od svoje začetne ocene, kot je izražena v sklepu o začetku postopka.
The Spanish authorities did not provide any information as regards possible alternative policy instruments or other aid instruments to finance the project.
Daleč od tega, da bi ustvarila spodbujevalni učinek, je pomoč v bistvu naravnana v zgraditev infrastrukture, katere dodana vrednost v primerjavi z obstoječimi alternativami (in sicer testiranjem na rednih železniških omrežjih) ni bila dokazana.
In response to the concerns expressed in the opening decision, they confined themselves to stating that, in light of the alleged financing deficit of 91,87 % of the project, no instrument other than public financing would be appropriate in this case.
Sorazmernost pomoči
The Commission observes that the fact that the notified project remains vastly loss making even when aided is not sufficient to demonstrate that State aid is an appropriate instrument.
Komisija meni, da je pomoč sorazmerna, če enakega rezultata ne bi bilo mogoče doseči z manj pomoči.
Moreover, as it has not been demonstrated that the project contributes to the objective of common interest of increasing R & D&I activities, the appropriateness of the investment instrument chosen by the Spanish government has also not been proved.
Španski organi so projekt priglasili kot skladnega z okvirom R&R&I, ki navaja, da je največja intenzivnost pomoči, dovoljena za kritje naložb v raziskovalne infrastrukture, ki se uporabljajo za gospodarske namene, omejena na neto dodatne stroške do meje 60 % upravičenih stroškov (točka 89 okvira R&R&I).
Other measures that would actually bring about increased R & D&I activities would be more appropriate instruments to meet that objective of common interest.
V obravnavanem primeru bo javna podpora krila 100 % stroškov.
Similar considerations apply in relation to the other objectives of common interest invoked by Spain.
Zaradi odsotnosti ali nezadostnosti zasebnih naložb v infrastrukturo CEATF se zadevna pomoč ne zdi sorazmerna.
As noted above in recital 106, new jobs would be mainly limited to the construction sector and temporary in nature.
Izogibanje neupravičenim negativnim učinkom na konkurenco in trgovino med državami članicami
State aid for the construction of infrastructure that is unlikely to be used is not an appropriate policy instrument to create growth and jobs.
Člen 107(3)(c) Pogodbe zahteva, da se pozitivni razvoj, ki nastane kot posledica določenega ukrepa, uravnoteži z negativnimi učinki na trg in konkurenco.
Incentive effect
Komisija meni, da španski organi niso dokazali, da bi obravnavani ukrep prinesel pozitivne učinke.
State aid must have an incentive effect.
Komisija zato sklepa, da zgraditev CEATF ne bo dosegla svojega cilja povečati R&R na specifičnem področju železniških prevoznih storitev za visoke hitrosti, ker je tržno povpraševanje po takšni infrastrukturi in povezanih storitvah R&R v najboljšem primeru šibko ali pa ga sploh ni.
The required incentive effect is present if the aid changes the behaviour of the beneficiary in relation to reaching the objective of common interest and addressing the identified market failure.
Komisija je prav tako sklenila, da ni dokazane tržne nepopolnosti ali pa dokaza, da ukrep prispeva k smiselni spremembi ravnanja upravičenca.
