However, the Commission observes that it cannot identify any objective of common interest that might have been pursued by the aid, which, as was stated above, was also not argued by the Greek authorities.
Zato je treba nezdružljivo pomoč, ki izhaja iz ukrepov 1 in 3, vrniti iz prihodka in sredstev civilne družbe HDS, vso pomoč, ki izhaja iz ukrepa 1 in bi se še vedno uresničila, pa odpraviti.
Even if HDS were to be considered a firm in difficulty, in which case the compatibility of the aid would need to be assessed under the 2004 Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines, the Commission observes that the compatibility conditions under those Guidelines are clearly not fulfilled for measure 1 (State guarantees) as well as measure 3 (capital increases).
Nazadnje Komisija opozarja, da v skladu z ustaljeno sodno prakso dejstvo, da so podjetja morda v težavah ali bankrotirala, ne vpliva na obveznost vračila nezdružljive pomoči.
There is no evidence that the aid was limited to the minimum necessary, notably through a significant own contribution of the aid beneficiary.
Vpis terjatve omogoča izpolnitev obveznosti zagotovitve vračila samo, če bi stečajni postopek takrat, ko državni organi ne morejo zagotoviti vračila celotnega zneska pomoči, povzročil prenehanje zadevnega podjetja, to je popolno prenehanje njegove dejavnosti .
Finally, the authorities did not provide a liquidation plan either.
SKLEPNE UGOTOVITVE
The Commission has not identified any other possible grounds for the compatibility of measures 1 and 3.
Ukrep 2 je v skladu s členom 346(1)(b) Pogodbe izvzet iz njenih določb o državni pomoči.
In the light of the above, the Commission concludes that the State aid granted to HDS through measures 1 and 3 is incompatible with the internal market.
V skladu s členom 346(1)(b) Pogodbe so iz njenih določb o državni pomoči izvzeti tudi deli ukrepov 1 in 3, pripisani vojaški proizvodnji družbe HDS.
Aid amount to be recovered
Ukrepa 1 in 3, kolikor sta koristila civilni proizvodnji družbe HDS, pomenita državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
According to the Treaty and 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.
Grčija je to državno pomoč izvedla nezakonito in je pri tem kršila člen 108(3) PDEU, pri čemer ta pomoč ni združljiva z notranjim trgom.
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.
Zneske, pripisane civilni proizvodnji družbe HDS, je treba vrniti –
In this context, the Court has established that this objective is attained once the recipient has repaid the amounts granted by way of incompatible 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 has been restored.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
In accordance with the case-law, Article 16(1) of Council Regulation (EU) 2015/1589 lays down that that ‘(w)here 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 […]’.
Člen 1
Consequently, since measure 1 and measure 3 were implemented in breach of Article 108 TFEU and are to be considered aid that is unlawful and incompatible with the internal market, the amount of undue advantage disbursed on the basis of those measures must be recovered in order to re-establish the situation that existed on the market before the aid was granted.
Javna nepovratna sredstva, ki jih je Grčija leta 2003 družbi Hellenic Defence Systems S.A. dodelila za izvedbo naložbenega načrta za posodobitev industrijskega obrata v Aeghionu, so v skladu s členom 346(1)(b) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije izvzeta iz določb Pogodbe o državni pomoči.
As such, recovery must cover the period during which the advantage was conferred on the beneficiary; that is to say from the time the aid was made available to the beneficiary until it was actually recovered.
Ukrepi, dodeljeni družbi Hellenic Defence Systems S.A., kolikor je ukrep povezan z njeno vojaško proizvodnjo, v obliki (i) državnih poroštev v obdobju 2004–2011 in (ii) udeležbe države v povečanjih kapitala družbe leta 2011, so v skladu s členom 346(1)(b) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije izvzeti iz določb Pogodbe o državni pomoči.
The sums to be recovered should therefore include interest due until recovery takes place.
Člen 2
In accordance with the relevant case-law, the recovery interest accrues from the date on which the aid was actually made available to the beneficiary.
Državno pomoč, dodeljeno družbi Hellenic Defence Systems S.A., kolikor je ukrep povezan z njeno civilno proizvodnjo, v obliki (i) državnih poroštev v obdobju 2004–2011 in (ii) udeležbe države v povečanjih kapitala družbe leta 2011, je Grčija dodelila nezakonito in je pri tem kršila člen 108(3) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije, pri čemer ta pomoč ni združljiva z notranjim trgom.
However, the Commission has concluded that the part of HDS' production which concerned military material can be considered to fall within the scope of application of Article 346(1)(b) TFEU.
Člen 3
To the extent that they benefitted this part of the production, measures 1 and 3 are exempt from an assessment under the State aid provisions of the Treaty.
Grčija nezdružljivo pomoč iz člena 2 izterja od naslednice upravičenke, tj. družbe Hellenic Civilian Production Systems Industrial Commercial Ltd.
It is, therefore, necessary to apportion the public funding between the two sides of the production, namely military and civil, in order to be able to establish the amount of incompatible aid to be recovered from the civil side.
Znesku, ki ga je treba vrniti, se prištejejo obresti za obdobje od datuma, ko je bil dan na voljo upravičenki, do datuma njegovega dejanskega vračila.
In order to determine to which extent the State aid identified in measures 1 and 3 benefited the civil production in the absence of separate accounts, the Commission, following relevant case practice, will rely on a proxy and will consider the division between HDS' sales of military products and those of civil products and allocate accordingly the advantage deriving from measures 1 and 3.
Obresti se v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 in v skladu z Uredbo Komisije (ES) št. 271/2008 o spremembi Uredbe (ES) št. 794/2004 izračunajo z obrestnoobrestnim računom.
The Commission considers it appropriate to use the percentage of military and civil product sales for the period 2004-2011 as provided by the Greek authorities (see recital 24 above) given that it covers the period during which the measures were granted.
Grčija prekliče vsa neizvedena izplačila pomoči, navedena v členu 2, z začetkom veljavnosti na datum sprejetja tega sklepa.
During that period, the military production represented 94,34 % of the sales, while the civil production represented 5,66 %.
Člen 4
As regards measure 1, this means that the State aid granted in relation to the civil activity, which has to be recovered as incompatible aid, corresponds to 5,66 % of the amount calculated on the basis of the methodology of determination of the economic advantage explained in recital 89 for the guarantees granted for loans obtained in the period 2004-2006 and in recital 91 for the guarantees granted for loans obtained in the period 2007-2011.
Vračilo pomoči iz člena 2 je takojšnje in učinkovito.
The advantage has been materialised in the form of payments of lower guarantee fees.
Grčija zagotovi, da bo ta sklep izveden v štirih mesecih od datuma uradnega obvestila o tem sklepu.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the aid has been put at the disposal of the beneficiary at the time when the guarantee fees were due by the original HDS (i.e. prior to the split between HDS civil and HDS military).
Člen 5
As regards the parts of the guaranteed loans of 2011 that were not used. the Commission observes the following regarding the amount of the loan principal that should be used in the methodology described in recital 91.
Grčija v dveh mesecih po tem, ko je obveščena o tem sklepu, predloži naslednje informacije:
Since the Greek State committed to grant guarantees for the full amount of EUR 40 million, the guarantee must be considered to have been granted for EUR 40 million.
skupni znesek (glavnica in obresti pri vračilu), ki ga mora upravičenka vrniti;
Indeed, at the moment of that commitment by the Greek State, HDS was conferred the legal right to receive the aid on the basis of an amount of EUR 40 million to be borrowed.
podroben opis že sprejetih in načrtovanih ukrepov za izvajanje tega sklepa;
However, since not the full amount of EUR 40 million was taken up as loans by HDS, the aid should be regarded as disbursed only for the amount actually borrowed under the guaranteed loans, namely EUR 7095858 for loan 10 and zero for loan 11.
dokumente, ki dokazujejo, da se je od upravičenke zahtevalo vračilo pomoči.
Therefore, while the full amount of aid granted (even if not disbursed) must be abolished for the future, it is only the amount actually disbursed to date on the basis of those guaranteed loans that must be used as the loan principal for the calculation of the amount to be recovered on the basis of the methodology described in recital 91.
Grčija obvešča Komisijo o napredku glede nacionalnih ukrepov, sprejetih za izvajanje tega sklepa, dokler se vračanje pomoči iz člena 2 ne konča.
For measure 3, the corresponding State aid to be recovered amounts to EUR 8953593,86.
Na zahtevo Komisije takoj predloži informacije o že sprejetih in načrtovanih ukrepih za izvajanje tega sklepa.
As regards the recovery interest, the Commission considers that it has to be calculated on the basis of the dates on which the aid was actually made available or materialised for each measure (guarantee or capital increase).
Predloži tudi podrobne informacije o zneskih pomoči in obrestih za vračilo, ki jih je upravičenka že vrnila.
Furthermore, the Commission has considered in a similar case that the recovery of the incompatible aid should only be provided by the civil part of the aided company, in order to ensure that the recovery is not covered by funds that would otherwise benefit the military activity.
Člen 6
In the present case, the Commission takes note of the split of HDS into two succeeding companies, namely HDS military and HDS civil.
Ta sklep je naslovljen na Helensko republiko.
Based on the allocation of the assets and production capacity (see recitals 54-55), HDS civil is the successor of the civil production of HDS.
V Bruslju, 20. novembra 2017
This is, in particular, based on the fact that all assets related to the civil production of the original HDS were transferred, as a whole, to HDS civil, including all land and production facilities, machinery, equipment, means of transport, finished and unfinished products, raw materials and claims from clients of civil products of the original HDS.
Za Komisijo
Moreover, the liabilities seem to have been allocated in line with the allocation of the assets between HDS military and HDS civil.
Članica Komisije
Thus, the incompatible aid resulting from measures 1 and 3 must be recovered from the revenues and assets of HDS civil and any aid resulting from measure 1 which would still materialise in the future has to be abolished.
UL C 152, 30.5.2013, str. 1.
Lastly, the Commission recalls that it is settled case-law that the fact that undertakings might be in difficulties or bankrupt does not affect the obligation of recovery of incompatible aid.

In such circumstances the restoration of the situation on the market before the aid was granted and, thereby, 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.
Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund (HRADF) je Société Anonyme, tj. delniška družba, in je bila ustanovljena 1. julija 2011 za vodenje postopkov privatizacije.
Where the State authorities are unable to recover the full amount of aid, the registration of the liability meets the recovery obligation only if the insolvency proceedings result in the winding up of the undertaking concerned, i.e. the definitive cessation of its activities .
