The Commission cannot, therefore, take Article 93 TFEU (or the secondary legislation deriving from it) as a basis for assessing compatibility with the internal market.
Združenje STIF je na podlagi odloka št. 2005-664 z dne 10. junija 2005 organizator rednega potniškega prevoza v regiji Île-de-France, zaradi česar je pristojni organ za dodelitev nadomestil za opravljanje javne službe.
However, under Article 107(3) TFEU, aid may be considered to be compatible with the internal market if it is granted to promote the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Ta nadomestila, naj je to prispevek C1 ali C2, se dodelijo v okviru pogodbe CT2, ki je pogodba o izvajanju javne službe.
This can be the case, in particular, with aid for investment which improves the way in which the economic activity in question is carried on.
Skladnost s členom 3 Uredbe (ES) št. 1370/2007 je torej izpolnjena.
The French authorities cite the applicability of this provision to the investment aid mechanism put in place by the Île-de-France Region.
V členu 4 Uredbe (ES) št. 1370/2007 je opredeljena obvezna vsebina pogodb o izvajanju javne službe.
The implementation of an investment aid mechanism for equipment to enable quantitative or qualitative improvements to be made to the supply of scheduled public transport by bus, in excess of the level of obligations which the recipients were required to discharge in providing their services before the subsidies were awarded, was such as to enhance the attractiveness of the services supplied as compared to alternative methods involving travelling by private vehicle.
V skladu z odstavkom 1 navedenega člena pogodbe o izvajanju javne službe:
In so doing, and having regard to the special circumstances in Île-de-France, as stated in recitals 16 and 17, the mechanisms in question contributed to the attainment of the objective of common interest, as defined by the 2011 White Paper on the single European transport area [37], which is modal transfer from the private vehicle to public transport.
jasno opredeljujejo obveznosti javne službe, ki jih mora izvajalec javne službe izpolniti, in zadevna geografska območja;
Without the subsidies, carriers would not have been able to implement those improvements.
vnaprej na objektiven in pregleden način določajo parametre, na podlagi katerih se izračuna nadomestilo, ter vrsto in obseg vseh dodeljenih izključnih pravic, da se prepreči čezmerno nadomestilo;
The subsidised routes were in fact running at a loss and their economic balance already depended on the public-service compensations awarded.
določajo ureditve za razporeditev stroškov, povezanih z opravljanjem storitev.
The Commission notes that the eligible costs and rates for the subsidies were capped, so that only part of the investment costs were taken over directly by the Region and then by STIF.
V odstavku 3 navedenega člena je določeno, da trajanje pogodb o izvajanju javne službe ne sme biti daljše od desetih let.
The maximum subsidy rates reached 50 % for ordinary buses and 60 % for ecological buses, in other words the aid percentages were moderate.
V odstavku 6 istega člena je navedeno, da če se od izvajalcev zahteva, da izpolnjujejo določene standarde kakovosti, morajo biti ti standardi jasno navedeni v pogodbi.
What is more, the equipment subsidised, very largely buses, could only be marginally assigned to uses or routes other than those for which the subsidy had primarily been granted.
Komisija v zvezi s pogodbo CT2 ugotavlja naslednje:
Firstly, assignment to uses other than the public passenger service was regulated, or indeed prohibited: under the CT1, and in the regional riders from 1999 onwards, any reassignment was prohibited during the period of write-off of the subsidy; before 1999, that practice was regulated for the first five years.
pogodbo CT2 je mogoče opredeliti kot pogodbo o izvajanju javne službe, ker je z njo, kot je bilo predstavljeno v uvodnih izjavah od 214 do 216, izvajalcu zaupano vodenje in izvajanje javnih storitev potniškega prevoza, za katere veljajo obveznosti javne službe.
Secondly, vehicles intended for urban transport services carrying passengers most of whom are standing do not lend themselves well to occasional transport requiring the use of coaches fitted out for the transport of seated passengers using seat belts.
S to pogodbo sta predvidena prispevek C1 in prispevek C2, ki sta pregledno in objektivno opredeljena v členu 53 pogodbe CT2.
Lastly, though the possibility of effects on trade between Member States could not be ruled out, for the reasons described in recitals 226 and 228, the effects were very probably limited because the markets in question were local in scale, and it was contractually or materially difficult, not to say impossible, to reassign the subsidised equipment to other geographical areas (in France or in Europe).
Obstoj združenega finančnega računa storitve omogoča natančno razporeditev stroškov, povezanih z opravljanjem storitev.
In the light of the above, the Commission concludes that trading conditions were not affected to an extent contrary to the common interest, and that the two mechanisms at issue are compatible with the internal market owing to their conformity with Article 107(3) TFEU.
Skladnost s členom 4(1) Uredbe (ES) št. 1370/2007 je torej dokazana;
The C2 contribution in the CT2
mehanizmi razporeditve prihodkov od prodaje vozovnic so zelo natančno opisani v členu 50 pogodbe CT2.
The Commission has already concluded in recital 217 that, unlike the subsidies awarded by the Region up to 2008 or by STIF under Rider No 3 to the CT1, the C2 contribution in the CT2 had to be treated as a public-service compensation.
Skladnost z odstavkom 2 navedenega člena je torej preverjena;
The compatibility of the aid awarded to reimburse the discharge of certain obligations inherent in the concept of a public service is considered by the yardstick of Article 93 TFEU.
pogodba CT2 vključuje standarde kakovosti, ki so jasno opredeljeni v pogodbi.
With regard to the application of Article 93 TFEU, the Commission takes its inspiration from the broad principles defined in the secondary legislation deriving from Article 93 TFEU, particularly Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, which has been in force since 3 December 2009.
Skladnost z odstavkom 6 navedenega člena je torej potrjena.
The Commission checks, in particular, that the principles set out in Articles 3, 4 and 6 of the Regulation are complied with.
Nazadnje, v členu 6 Uredbe (ES) št. 1370/2007 in Prilogi k tej uredbi so opisana glavna načela, ki veljajo za določitev nadomestil za opravljanje javne službe:
Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 provides as follows: ‘Where a competent authority decides to grant the operator of its choice an exclusive right and/or compensation, of whatever nature, in return for the discharge of public-service obligations, it shall do so within the framework of a public-service contract.’
način izračuna, ki ustreza „finančnemu neto učinku“, zaradi upoštevanja obveznosti javne službe na stroške in prihodke izvajalca javne službe;
STIF, under Decree No 2005-664 of 10 June 2005, is the organising body for scheduled passenger transport services in Île-de-France, which makes it a competent awarding authority for public-service compensation.
ločeno računovodstvo za dejavnosti, ki spadajo pod obveznosti javne službe, in dejavnosti, ki se opravljajo komercialno;
Such compensation, be it component C1 or C2, is awarded in the framework of the CT2, which is a public-service contract.
opredelitev „primernega dobička“, ki ga lahko izvajalec pričakuje na podlagi plačila nadomestila za opravljanje javne službe;
The requirements of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 are therefore met.
spodbude za ohranitev ali razvoj učinkovitega poslovodenja, ki omogoča zagotavljanje kakovostnih storitev.
Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 sets out the mandatory content of public-service contracts.
Preučitev Komisije v zvezi s tem je omejena na prispevek C2 iz pogodbe CT2, ker prispevek C1 ne spada v obseg preučitve, opredeljen s sklepom o začetku postopka.
Under paragraph 1, public-service contracts must:
Da pa bi bilo mogoče odločiti o prispevku C2, je treba pojasniti razmerje med prispevkom C1 in prispevkom C2.
clearly define the PSOs with which the public-service operator is to comply, and the geographical areas concerned,
Prispevek C1 je namenjen nadomestitvi primanjkljaja iz poslovanja, ki se izračuna kot vsota stroškov poslovanja (brez elementov v zvezi z naložbami, kot so zneski amortizacije), povečana za pogodbeno dogovorjeno maržo in zmanjšana za vse prihodke in subvencije za poslovanje.
determine the arrangements for the allocation of costs connected with the provision of services.
Način izračuna teh dveh prispevkov je jasno predstavljen v pogodbi CT2 in njenih prilogah v skladu s točko (a) iz uvodne izjave 256.
Under paragraph 2, public-service contracts must determine the arrangements for the allocation of revenue from the sale of tickets.
Glede na informacije, ki jih je predložilo združenje STIF, vse linije, ki so predmet pogodbe CT2, izkazujejo primanjkljaj iz poslovanja (celo pred upoštevanjem stroškov v zvezi z naložbami), tako da je prispevek C1 vedno pozitiven [38].
Paragraph 3 lays down that the duration of public-service contracts for transport by bus may not exceed 10 years.
Ker prihodki in subvencije v zvezi s poslovanjem ne zadostujejo za kritje niti dela skupnih letnih naložbenih stroškov, je prispevek C2 dejansko enak vsoti zneskov amortizacije (povečani za stroške financiranja), vključenih v združeni finančni račun.
Paragraph 6 states that, where operators are required to comply with quality standards, these standards shall be clearly included in the contract.
Iz tega razlikovanja izhaja, da opredelitev „primernega dobička“ glede na izraze iz člena 6 Uredbe (ES) št. 1370/2007 v celoti spada pod prispevek C1 in ne prispevek C2.
As regards CT2, the Commission finds as follows:
Točka (c) uvodne izjave 256 se torej ne more uporabiti za prispevek C2, upoštevan ločeno.
The CT2 contract can be described as a public-service contract insofar as, as demonstrated in recitals 214 and 216, it confers responsibility on an operator for the management and operation of the public passenger transport services subject to PSOs.
Po drugi strani je mogoče dokazati, da s prispevkom C2 prevozniku nikakor ni mogoče dodeliti čezmernega nadomestila, ker se z njim krijejo zgolj naložbeni stroški, ki so bili dejansko ugotovljeni in v obliki zneskov amortizacije vpisani v finančni račun vsake linije.
The contract provides for a C1 contribution and a C2 contribution which are defined, in a transparent and objective manner, in Article 53 of the CT2.
Kar zadeva točko (b) uvodne izjave 256, Komisija ugotavlja, da obstoj tega finančnega računa storitve, ki je specifičen za vsako linijo, za katero velja pogodba o izvajanju javne službe, omogoča po eni strani zagotovitev računovodskega ločevanja od morebitnih drugih dejavnosti izvajalca in po drugi strani popis vseh stroškov in prihodkov, povezanih z izvajanjem javne službe, v skladu z načeli iz Priloge k Uredbi (ES) št. 1370/2007.
The existence of a unified financial account for the service means that the costs of providing the services can be allocated in a detailed manner.
Kar nazadnje zadeva točko (d) uvodne izjave 256, je v členu 49 pogodbe CT2 določeno, da „se poleg plačila za podjetje uporabljajo udeležba pri dobičku, nagrade ali kazni, povezane z njegovo [operativno] uspešnostjo pri izvajanju referenčne storitve“.
The requirements of Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 are therefore met.
Nadomestilo za opravljanje javne službe, katerega del je prispevek C2, je torej povezano s sistemom spodbud, ki je dovolj izdelan, da se lahko šteje, da je Uredba (ES) št. 1370/2007 upoštevana.
The mechanisms for allocating the revenue from ticket sales are very precisely described in Article 50 of the CT2.
Komisija glede na navedeno ugotavlja, da je prispevek C2 iz pogodbe CT2 skladen z glavnimi načeli, opredeljenimi v Uredbi (ES) št. 1370/2007 za izračun nadomestil za opravljanje javne službe, in ga je torej mogoče razglasiti za združljivega z notranjim trgom na podlagi člena 93 PDEU.
The requirements of Article 4(2) are therefore met.
Ta ugotovitev, ki je omejena na prispevek C2, ne vpliva na združljivost nadomestil iz pogodbe CT2 v celoti (prispevek C1 ne spada na področje uporabe tega sklepa).
The CT2 replaced the CT1, from 2008 onwards, for the remaining period of the term up to 31 December 2016.
SKLEPNE UGOTOVITVE
The requirements of Article 4(3) are therefore met.
Subvencije za naložbe, ki jih je regija Île-de-France dodelila v okviru zaporednih sklepov iz let 1994, 1998 in 2001, pomenijo državne pomoči, ki so bile izvedene nezakonito v nasprotju s členom 108(3) PDEU.
The CT2 includes quality standards which are clearly defined in the contract.
Vendar so te pomoči skladne s členom 107(3) PDEU, zato jih Komisija razglaša za združljive z notranjim trgom.
The requirements of Article 4(6) are therefore met.
Subvencije za naložbe, ki jih je dodelilo združenje STIF na podlagi dodatka št. 3 k pogodbi CT1, pomenijo državne pomoči, ki so bile izvedene nezakonito v nasprotju s členom 108(3) PDEU.
Lastly, Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 and the annex thereto describe the main principles governing the determination of public-service compensation:
Nadomestila za opravljanje javne službe, ki jih je dodelilo združenje STIF v obliki prispevka C2 iz pogodbe CT2, pomenijo državne pomoči, ki ne izpolnjujejo nekaterih formalnih meril iz Uredbe (ES) št. 1370/2007, zato niso zajete z oprostitvijo obveznosti priglasitve, ki jo omogoča navedena uredba.
method of calculating ‘the net financial effect’ of complying with the PSO on the public-service operator's costs and revenues;
Vendar so te pomoči skladne s členom 93 PDEU, zato jih Komisija razglaša za združljive z notranjim trgom –
accounting separation of activities covered by PSOs and those operated commercially;
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
definition of the ‘reasonable profit’ which can be expected by the operator through payment of public-service compensation;
Člen 1
incentives to maintain or develop effective management capable of providing services of a high standard.
Shema pomoči, ki jo je Francija nezakonito izvajala med letoma 1994 in 2008, v obliki subvencij za naložbe, ki jih je regija Île-de-France dodelila v okviru sklepov CR 34-94, CR 44-98 in CR 47-01, je združljiva z notranjim trgom.
The Commission's scrutiny on this point is confined to contribution C2 in the CT2, as contribution C1 does not fall within the scope of the investigation as defined in the opening decision.
Člen 2
It is, nevertheless, necessary to explain the relationship between C1 and C2 in order to be able to rule on contribution C2.
Shema pomoči, ki jo je Francija nezakonito izvajala od leta 2008, v obliki subvencij za naložbe, ki jih je združenje STIF dodelilo v okviru dodatka št. 3 k pogodbi CT1, je združljiva z notranjim trgom.
The purpose of contribution C1 is to compensate for the operating deficit, calculated as the sum of the operating costs (excluding elements relating to investment, such as depreciation), plus a contractually negotiated margin, and minus all the revenues and operating subsidies.
Člen 3
Contribution C2, in contrast, is calculated as the sum of depreciation and is, therefore, only intended to cover costs incurred by the requirements to invest laid down in the contract.
Shema pomoči, ki jo je Francija nezakonito izvajala, v obliki prispevkov C2, ki jih je združenje STIF dodelilo v okviru pogodbe CT2, je združljiva z notranjim trgom.
The method of calculating these two contributions is clearly set out in the CT2 and the annexes thereto, in accordance with recital 256(a).
Člen 4
According to the information supplied by STIF, routes for which there is a CT2 all show an operating deficit (even before costs relating to investment have been taken into account), so that the C1 contribution is always positive [38].
Ta sklep je naslovljen na Francosko republiko.
As the revenue and subsidies relating to operation are not enough to cover even a fraction of the annualised investment costs, contribution C2 is in reality equal to the sum of the depreciations (plus the financial costs) recorded in the unified financial account.
V Bruslju, 2. februarja 2017
This distinction makes clear that the definition of ‘reasonable profit’, to use the wording of Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, depends entirely on contribution C1 and not on contribution C2.
Za Komisijo
Recital 256(c) cannot, therefore, apply to contribution C2 considered in isolation.
Članica Komisije
It can, on the other hand, be established that contribution C2 cannot in any way overcompensate the transport operator, as it only covers investment costs actually recorded and entered as depreciation in the financial account for each route.
UL C 141, 9.5.2014, str. 38.
As regards recital 256(b), the Commission observes that the existence of this financial account for the service, which is specific to each route for which there is a public-service contract, makes it possible, firstly, to ensure that there is accounting separation from any other activities of the operator and, secondly, to record all the costs and revenue linked to performance of the public service, in line with the principles set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007.
Glej opombo 1.
Lastly, as regards recital 256(d), Article 49 of the CT2 lays down that ‘besides the remuneration it receives, the undertaking is subject to incentives, bonuses or penalties linked to its [operational] performance in performing the reference service’.
Sodba Sodišča z dne 6. oktobra 2015, Evropska komisija proti Jørgenu Andersenu, C-303/13P, ECLI:EU:C:2015:647.
The public-service compensation, of which contribution C2 is a part, is therefore combined with a system of incentives developed enough to ensure that Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 is deemed to be complied with.
Poročilo inštituta Institut d'Aménagement et d'Urbanisme d'Île-de-France, objavljeno marca 2013 in na voljo na naslednjem spletnem naslovu: www.omnil.fr/IMG/pdf/la_circulation_routiere_en_idf_en_2010.pdf.
In the light of the above, the Commission concludes that contribution C2 in the CT2 complies with the main principles defined in Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007 with respect to calculating public-service compensation and hence that it can be declared compatible with the internal market under Article 93 TFEU.
Sklep CR 34-94 z dne 20. oktobra 1994 o pomoči za izboljšanje storitev javnega cestnega prevoza, ki jih izvajajo zasebna podjetja ali režijski obrati.
This conclusion, which is limited to contribution C2, is without prejudice to the compatibility of the CT2 contributions as a whole (since contribution C1 is not within the scope of application of this Decision).

CONCLUSION
Sodba št. 0417015/7-1.
The investment subsidies awarded by the Île-de-France Region through the successive decisions of 1994, 1998 and 2001 constitute State aid implemented unlawfully, in breach of Article 108(3) TFEU.

The public-service compensation awarded by STIF in the form of contribution C2 under the CT2 constitutes State aid which, as it does not satisfy certain formal criteria laid down by Regulation (EC) No 1370/2007, is not covered by the exemption from the notification requirement granted by that Regulation.
