It is apparent from the caselaw of the Court of Justice of the European Communities that with the exception of the sectors in which there are rules of the EEA Agreement governing the matter, the EFTA States have a wide margin of discretion regarding the nature of services that could be classified as being services of general economic interest.
Iz sodne prakse Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti je razvidno, da imajo države Efte, razen v sektorjih, v katerih je področje urejeno s pravili Sporazuma EGP, visoko stopnjo diskrecije pri uvrščanju storitev med storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
Thus, the Authority’s task is to ensure that this margin of discretion is applied without manifest error as regards the definition of services of general economic interest.
Zato je naloga organa zagotoviti, da se ta stopnja diskrecije pri opredelitvi storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena uporablja brez očitne napake.
It transpires from Article 59(2) of the EEA Agreement that undertakings [7] entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest are undertakings entrusted with “a particular task”.
Iz člena 59(2) Sporazuma EGP izhaja, da so podjetja [7], pooblaščena za opravljanje storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, podjetja, ki jim je zaupana ‚posebna naloga‘.
When defining public service obligations and in assessing whether those obligations are met by the undertakings concerned, the EFTA States are encouraged to consult widely, with a particular emphasis on users.
Pri določanju obveznosti javnih storitev in pri presoji, ali zadevna podjetja izpolnjujejo navedene obveznosti, so države Efte pozvane k obsežnemu posvetovanju s posebnim poudarkom na uporabnikih.
Need for an instrument specifying the public service obligations and the methods of calculating compensation
Potreba po instrumentu, ki opredeljuje obveznosti javnih storitev in metode za izračun nadomestila
The concept of service of general economic interest within the meaning of Article 59 of the EEA Agreement means that the undertakings in question have been entrusted with a special task by the State [8].
Pojem storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena v smislu člena 59 Sporazuma EGP pomeni, da je država pooblastila zadevna podjetja za opravljanje posebne naloge [8].
Public authorities remain responsible — with the exception of the sectors in which there are EEA rules governing the matter — for setting the framework of criteria and conditions for the provision of services, regardless of the legal status of the provider and of whether the service is provided on the basis of free competition.
Javni organi, z izjemo sektorjev, v katerih je področje urejeno s pravili EGP, ostanejo odgovorni za določanje okvira meril in pogojev za opravljanje storitev, ne glede na pravni status izvajalca storitev in ne glede na to, ali opravljanje storitve temelji na svobodni konkurenci.
Accordingly, a public service assignment is necessary in order to define the obligations of the undertakings in question and of the State.
Zato je dodelitev javne storitve potrebna, da se določijo obveznosti zadevnih podjetij in države.
The term “State” covers the central, regional and local authorities.
Izraz ‚država‘ zajema centralne, regionalne in lokalne organe.
Responsibility for operation of the service of general economic interest must be entrusted to the undertaking concerned by way of one or more official acts, the form of which may be determined by each EFTA State.
Zadevno podjetje je pooblaščeno za opravljanje storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena z enim ali več uradnimi akti, katerih obliko lahko določi vsaka država Efte.
The act or acts must specify, in particular:
Akt ali akti določajo zlasti:
the precise nature and the duration of the public service obligations;
natančno naravo in trajanje obveznosti javnih storitev;
the undertakings and territory concerned;
zadevna podjetja in ozemlje;
When defining public service obligations and in assessing whether those obligations are met by the undertakings concerned, the EFTA States are invited to consult widely, with particular emphasis on users.
Pri določanju obveznosti javnih storitev in pri presoji, ali zadevna podjetja izpolnjujejo navedene obveznosti, so države Efte pozvane k obsežnemu posvetovanju s posebnim poudarkom na uporabnikih.
The amount of compensation may not exceed what is necessary to cover the costs incurred in discharging the public service obligations, taking into account the relevant receipts and reasonable profit for discharging those obligations.
Znesek nadomestila ne sme preseči zneska, potrebnega za kritje stroškov, ki so nastali pri izpolnjevanju obveznosti javnih storitev, pri čemer je treba upoštevati ustrezne prejemke in primerni dobiček pri izpolnjevanju navedenih obveznosti.
The amount of compensation includes all the advantages granted by the State or through State resources in any form whatsoever.
Znesek nadomestila vključuje vse ugodnosti, ki jih dodeli država, ali kakršno koli vrsto ugodnosti iz državnih sredstev.
The reasonable profit may include all or some of the productivity gains achieved by the undertakings concerned during an agreed limited period without reducing the level of quality of the services entrusted to the undertaking by the State.
Primerni dobiček lahko zajema vsa ali nekatera povečanja produktivnosti, ki so jih zadevna podjetja dosegla v omejenem dogovorjenem obdobju, ne da bi se zmanjšala raven kakovosti storitev, zaupanih podjetju, ki jih določi država.
In any event, compensation must be actually used for the operation of the service of general economic interest concerned.
V vsakem primeru je treba nadomestilo dejansko uporabiti za opravljanje zadevne storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
Public service compensation granted for the operation of a service of general economic interest, but actually used to operate on other markets is not justified, and consequently constitutes incompatible State aid.
Nadomestilo za javne storitve, dodeljeno za opravljanje storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, ki pa se dejansko uporablja za delovanje na drugih trgih, ni upravičeno in posledično pomeni nezdružljivo državno pomoč.
The undertaking receiving public service compensation may, however, enjoy a reasonable profit.
Vendar pa lahko podjetje, ki prejme nadomestilo za javne storitve, doseže primerni dobiček.
The costs to be taken into consideration include all the costs incurred in the operation of the service of general economic interest.
Stroški, ki jih je treba upoštevati, vključujejo vse stroške, ki nastanejo pri opravljanju storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
Where the activities of the undertaking in question are confined to the service of general economic interest, all its costs may be taken into consideration.
Če so dejavnosti zadevnega podjetja omejene na storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena, se lahko upoštevajo vsi njegovi stroški.
Where the undertaking also carries out activities falling outside the scope of the service of general economic interest, only the costs associated with the service of general economic interest may be taken into consideration.
Če podjetje opravlja tudi dejavnosti zunaj obsega storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, se lahko upoštevajo le stroški, povezani s storitvami splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
The costs allocated to the service of general economic interest may cover all the variable costs incurred in providing the service of general economic interest, an appropriate contribution to fixed costs common to both the service of general economic interest and other activities and an adequate return on the own capital assigned to the service of general economic interest [9].
Stroški za storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena lahko vključujejo vse spremenljive stroške, ki so nastali pri opravljanju storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, ustrezen prispevek k fiksnim stroškom, skupnim storitvam splošnega gospodarskega pomena in drugim dejavnostim, ter ustrezen donos lastnega kapitala, pripisan storitvam splošnega gospodarskega pomena [9].
The costs linked with investments, notably concerning infrastructure, may be taken into account when necessary for the functioning of the service of general economic interest.
Stroški, povezani z naložbami, zlasti v zvezi z infrastrukturo, se lahko upoštevajo, kadar so potrebni za opravljanje storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
The costs linked to any activities outside the scope of the service of general economic interest must cover all the variable costs, an appropriate contribution to fixed common costs and an adequate return on capital.
Stroški, povezani s katero koli dejavnostjo zunaj obsega storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, morajo zajemati vse spremenljive stroške, ustrezen prispevek k skupnim fiksnim stroškom ter ustrezen donos kapitala.
These costs may, under no circumstances, be imputed to the service of general economic interest.
Ti stroški nikakor ne smejo biti pripisani storitvam splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
The calculation of costs must follow the criteria which have previously been defined and be based on generally accepted cost accounting principles which must be brought to the knowledge of the Authority in the context of the notification in accordance with provisions of Article 1(3) in Part I of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement.
Izračun stroškov mora ustrezati predhodno določenim merilom in temeljiti na splošno sprejetih načelih stroškovnega računovodstva, ki jih je treba sporočiti organu v okviru priglasitve v skladu z določbami člena 1(3) dela I Protokola 3 k Sporazumu o nadzornem organu in sodišču.
The revenue to be taken into account must include at least the entire revenue earned from the service of general economic interest.
Prihodek, ki ga je treba upoštevati, mora vključevati vsaj celotni prihodek, ki ga je ustvarila storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
If the undertaking in question holds special or exclusive rights linked to a service of general economic interest that generates profit in excess of the reasonable profit, or benefits from other advantages granted by the State, these must be taken into consideration, irrespective of their classification for the purposes of Article 61 of the EEA Agreement, and are added to its revenue.
Če ima zadevno podjetje posebne ali izključne pravice, povezane s storitvijo splošnega gospodarskega pomena, ki ustvarja dobiček, ki presega primerni dobiček, ali ima koristi zaradi drugih prednosti, ki jih dodeli država, je treba te upoštevati ne glede na njihovo razvrstitev za namen člena 61 Sporazuma EGP in jih prišteti k svojemu prihodku.
The EFTA State may also decide that the profits accruing from other activities outside the scope of the service of general economic interest must be allocated in whole or in part to the financing of the service of general economic interest.
Država Efte se lahko tudi odloči, da je treba dobiček, ki izhaja iz drugih dejavnosti zunaj obsega storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, v celoti ali delno dodeliti za financiranje storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
“Reasonable profit” should be taken to mean a rate of return on own capital that takes account of the risk, or absence of risk, incurred by the undertaking by virtue of the intervention by the EFTA State, particularly if the latter grants exclusive or special rights.
‚Primerni dobiček‘ je treba šteti kot stopnjo donosa lastnega kapitala, ki upošteva tveganje ali odsotnost tveganja, ki ga je podjetje imelo zaradi intervencije države Efte, zlasti če ta odobri izključne ali posebne pravice.
This rate must normally not exceed the average rate for the sector concerned in recent years.
Ta stopnja običajno ne sme presegati povprečne stopnje za zadevni sektor v zadnjih nekaj letih.
In sectors where there is no undertaking comparable to the undertaking entrusted with the operation of the service of general economic interest, a comparison may be made with undertakings situated in other EEA States, or if necessary, in other sectors, provided that the particular characteristics of each sector are taken into account.
V sektorjih, v katerih ni podjetja, primerljivega s podjetjem, pooblaščenim za opravljanje storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena, je primerjava možna s podjetji, ki imajo sedež v drugih državah Efte, ali po potrebi s podjetji iz drugih sektorjev, pod pogojem, da se upoštevajo posebne značilnosti posameznega sektorja.
In determining what amounts to a reasonable profit, the EFTA State may introduce incentive criteria relating, among other things, to the quality of service provided and gains in productive efficiency.
Pri določitvi pomena primernega dobička lahko države Efte uvedejo merila, iz katerih izhajajo spodbude, med drugim za kakovost opravljene storitve in povečanje učinkovitosti proizvodnje.
When a company carries out activities falling both inside and outside the scope of the service of general economic interest, the internal accounts must show separately the costs and receipts associated with the service of general economic interest and those associated with other services, as well as the parameters for allocating costs and revenues.
Če podjetje opravlja dejavnosti znotraj in zunaj obsega storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, je treba v internih računovodskih izkazih stroške in prejemke, povezane s storitvami splošnega gospodarskega pomena, prikazati ločeno od tistih, ki so povezani z drugimi storitvami, in tudi parametre za razporejanje stroškov in prihodkov.
Where an undertaking is entrusted with the operation of several services of general economic interest either because the authority assigning the service of general economic interest is different or because the nature of the service of general economic interest is different, the undertaking’s internal accounts must make it possible to ensure that there is no overcompensation at the level of each service of general economic interest.
Če je podjetje pooblaščeno za opravljanje več storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, bodisi ker je storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena dodelil drugi organ bodisi zato, ker je storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena drugačna, morajo interni računovodski izkazi podjetja zagotoviti, da ni prekomernega nadomestila na ravni vsake storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
These principles are without prejudice to the provisions of the Act mentioned under point 1 of Annex XV to the EEA Agreement (Commission Directive 80/723/EEC on the transparency of financial relations between Member States and certain undertakings, as amended) in cases where that Act applies.
Ta načela ne posegajo v določbe akta iz točke 1 Priloge XV k Sporazumu EGP (Direktiva Komisije 80/723/EGS o preglednosti finančnih odnosov med državami članicami in javnimi podjetji, kakor je spremenjena) v primerih, kadar se uporablja navedeni akt.
Overcompensation
Prekomerno nadomestilo
The EFTA States must check regularly, or arrange for checks to be made, to ensure that there has been no overcompensation.
Države Efte morajo izvajati redna preverjanja ali poskrbeti, da se izvajajo redna preverjanja, s katerimi se zagotovi, da nadomestila niso prekomerna.
Since overcompensation is not necessary for the operation of the service of general economic interest, it constitutes incompatible State aid that must be repaid to the State, and for the future, the parameters for the calculation of the compensation must be updated.
Ker prekomerno nadomestilo ni potrebno za opravljanje storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena, pomeni nezdružljivo državno pomoč, ki jo je treba vrniti državi, parametre za izračun prihodnjih nadomestil pa je treba posodobiti.
Where the amount of overcompensation does not exceed 10 % of the amount of annual compensation, such overcompensation may be carried forward to the next year.
Če znesek prekomernega nadomestila ne presega 10 % zneska letnega nadomestila, se takšno prekomerno nadomestilo lahko prenese na naslednje leto.
Some services of general economic interest may have costs that vary significantly each year, notably as regards specific investments.
Stroški nekaterih storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena lahko vsako leto precej nihajo, zlasti v primeru posebnih naložb.
In such cases, exceptionally, overcompensation in excess of 10 % in certain years may prove necessary for the operation of the service of general economic interest.
V takšnih primerih se lahko prekomerno nadomestilo, ki v posameznih letih preseže 10 %, izjemoma izkaže za potrebno pri opravljanju storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
The specific situation which may justify overcompensation in excess of 10 % should be explained in the notification to the Authority.
Posebni položaj, ki lahko upraviči prekomerno nadomestilo nad 10 %, je treba pojasniti v priglasitvi organu.
However, the situation should be reviewed at intervals determined on the basis of the situation in each sector which, in any event, should not exceed four years.
Vendar pa je treba položaj pregledati v časovnih presledkih, določenih na podlagi razmer v posameznem sektorju, ki v nobenem primeru ne smejo biti daljši od štirih let.
All overcompensation discovered at the end of that period should be repaid.
Vsa ugotovljena prekomerna nadomestila na koncu navedenega obdobja je treba vrniti.
Any overcompensation may be used to finance another service of general economic interest operated by the same undertaking, but such a transfer must be shown in the undertaking’s accounts and be carried out in accordance with the rules and principles set out in these guidelines, notably as regards prior notification.
Katero koli prekomerno nadomestilo se lahko uporabi za financiranje druge storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena, ki jo opravlja isto podjetje, vendar je treba takšen prenos prikazati v poslovnih knjigah podjetja ter izvesti v skladu s pravili in načeli, določenimi v teh smernicah, zlasti v zvezi s predhodno priglasitvijo.
The EFTA States must ensure that such transfers are subjected to proper control.
Države Efte morajo zagotoviti ustrezen nadzor takšnih prenosov.
The transparency rules laid down in the Act referred to under point 1 of Annex XV to the EEA Agreement (Commission Directive 80/723/EEC, as amended) apply.
Uporabljajo se pravila o preglednosti iz akta iz točke 1 Priloge XV k Sporazumu EGP (Direktiva Komisije 80/723/EGS, kakor je spremenjena).
The amount of overcompensation cannot remain available to an undertaking on the ground that it would rank as aid compatible with the EEA Agreement (for example environmental aid, employment aid and aid for small and medium-sized enterprises).
Znesek prekomernega nadomestila ne more ostati na razpolago podjetju z utemeljitvijo, da se ga lahko šteje za pomoč, ki je združljiva s Sporazumom EGP (npr. okoljsko pomoč, pomoč za zaposlovanje in pomoč za mala in srednje velika podjetja).
If an EFTA State wishes to grant such aid, the prior notification procedure laid down in Article 1(3) in Part I of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement should be complied with.
Če država Efte želi dodeliti takšno pomoč, mora upoštevati postopek predhodne priglasitve iz člena 1(3) dela I Protokola 3 Sporazuma o nadzornem organu in sodišču.
Aid may be disbursed only if it has been authorised by the Authority.
Pomoč se lahko izplača le, če jo organ odobri.
If such aid is compatible with a block exemption regulation, the conditions of the relevant block exemption regulation must be fulfilled.
Če je takšna pomoč združljiva z uredbo o skupinski izjemi, morajo biti izpolnjeni pogoji iz uredbe o ustrezni skupinski izjemi.
Conditions and obligations attached to Decisions of the Authority
Pogoji in obveznosti, ki jih vsebujejo odločbe organa
According to Article 7(4) in Part II of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement [10], the Authority may attach to a positive decision conditions subject to which an aid may be considered compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement, and lay down obligations to enable compliance with the decision to be monitored.
V skladu s členom 7(4) dela II Protokola 3 Sporazuma o Nadzornem organu in Sodišču [10] lahko organ pozitivni odločitvi priloži pogoje, na podlagi katerih se pomoč lahko šteje kot združljiva z izvajanjem Sporazuma EGP, in lahko določi obveznosti, da zagotovi nadzor skladnosti z odločitvijo.
In the field of services of general economic interest, conditions and obligations may be necessary notably to ensure that aid granted to the undertakings concerned does not actually lead to overcompensations.
Na področju storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena se pogoji in obveznosti lahko izkažejo za potrebne zlasti za zagotovitev, da pomoč, dodeljena zadevnim podjetjem, dejansko ne privede do prekomernih nadomestil.
In this context, periodical reports or other obligations may be necessary, in the light of the specific situation of each service of general economic interest.
V tem okviru se lahko redna poročila ali druge obveznosti izkažejo za potrebna glede na posebni položaj vsake storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
Application of the Guidelines
Uporaba smernic
These guidelines will apply as of their adoption by the Authority.
Te smernice se uporabljajo od datuma, ko jih sprejme organ.
Their validity will end six years after its entry into force.
Njihova veljavnost se izteče šest let po začetku veljavnosti.
The Authority may, after consulting the EFTA States, amend these guidelines before their date of expiry for important reasons linked to the development of the functioning of the EEA Agreement.
Organ lahko po posvetovanju z državami Efte spremeni te smernice pred datumom njihovega izteka zaradi pomembnih razlogov, povezanih z napredkom pri izvajanju Sporazuma EGP.
Four years after the date of adoption of these guidelines, the Authority will undertake an impact assessment based on factual information and the results of wide consultations conducted by the Authority on the basis, notably, of data provided by the EFTA States.
Štiri leta po datumu sprejetja teh smernic bo organ izvedel presojo vpliva na podlagi dejanskih informacij in rezultatov obsežnih posvetovanj pod vodstvom organa, zlasti na podlagi podatkov, ki jih predložijo države Efte.
The results of the impact assessment will be made available to the EFTA States.
Rezultati presoje vpliva bodo dani na voljo državam Efte.
The Authority will apply the provisions of these guidelines to all aid projects notified to it and will take a decision on those projects after adoption of the guidelines, even if the projects were notified prior to adoption.
Organ bo določbe teh smernic uporabljal za vse projekte pomoči, ki mu bodo priglašeni, in sprejel odločitev v zvezi z navedenimi projekti po sprejetju smernic, tudi če bodo projekti priglašeni pred sprejetjem.
In the case of non-notified aid, the Authority will apply:
Pri nepriglašeni pomoči bo organ uporabil:
the provisions of these guidelines if the aid was granted after the adoption of these guidelines;
določbe teh smernic, če je bila pomoč odobrena po sprejetju teh smernic,
the provisions in force at the time the aid was granted, in all other cases.
določbe, ki so veljavne v času dodelitve pomoči, v vseh drugih primerih.
The Authority proposes as appropriate measures for the purposes of Article 1(1) in Part I of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement that the EFTA States bring their existing schemes regarding public service compensation into line with these guidelines, within 18 months following the notification of the decision to the EFTA State.
Kot ustrezne ukrepe v skladu s členom 1(1) dela I Protokola 3 k Sporazumu o Nadzornem organu in Sodišču organ predlaga, naj države Efte svoje obstoječe sheme v zvezi z nadomestilom za javne storitve uskladijo s temi smernicami v 18 mesecih po obvestilu države Efte o odločitvi.
The EFTA States should confirm to the Authority within one month of the notification of the decision to them that they agree to the appropriate measures proposed.
V enem mesecu od prejema obvestila o odločitvi bi morale države Efte organu potrditi, da se strinjajo s predlogom ustreznih ukrepov.
In the absence of any reply, the Authority will take it that the EFTA State concerned does not agree.
Če organ ne bo prejel nobenega odgovora, bo to razumel, kakor da se zadevna država Efte ne strinja.
