Similarly, there may be sectors where private financing for the construction of infrastructures is insignificant [315].
Navzkrižno subvencioniranje je mogoče izključiti z zagotovitvijo, da se lastnik infrastrukture ne ukvarja z nobeno drugo gospodarsko dejavnostjo, če pa je temu tako, pa z vodenjem ločenih računov, ustreznim dodeljevanjem stroškov in prihodkov ter zagotovitvijo, da se javno financiranje ne namenja drugim dejavnostim.
The Authority considers that an effect on trade between EEA States or a distortion of competition is normally excluded as regards the construction of the infrastructure in cases where at the same time (i) an infrastructure typically faces no direct competition, (ii) private financing is insignificant in the sector and EEA State concerned and (iii) the infrastructure is not designed to selectively favour a specific undertaking or sector but provides benefits for society at large.
Posredna pomoč, zlasti operaterju infrastrukture, se lahko prepreči na primer z objavo razpisa za upravljanje.
In order for the entire public funding of a given project to fall outside State aid rules, EEA States have to ensure that the funding provided for the construction of the infrastructures in the situations mentioned in paragraph 211 cannot be used to cross-subsidize or indirectly subsidize other economic activities, including the operation of the infrastructure.
V tem oddelku je podan pregled, kako namerava Nadzorni organ presojati financiranje infrastrukture v različnih sektorjih z vidika državne pomoči, ob upoštevanju glavnih značilnosti, ki jih financiranje javne infrastrukture običajno in trenutno kaže v različnih sektorjih glede na zgoraj opredeljene pogoje.
Cross-subsidization can be excluded by ensuring that the infrastructure owner does not engage in any other economic activity or – if the infrastructure owner is engaged in any other economic activity – by keeping separate accounts, allocating costs and revenues in an appropriate way and ensuring that any public funding does not benefit other activities.
Ta pregled ne posega v izid konkretne presoje posameznih primerov projektov ob upoštevanju njihovih specifičnih značilnosti, načina, kako je država EGP organizirala zagotavljanje storitev, povezanih z uporabo infrastrukture, razvojem komercialnih storitev in delovanjem Sporazuma EGP.
The absence of indirect aid, in particular to the operator of the infrastructure, can be ensured, for example, by tendering out the operation.
Ne nadomešča posamezne presoje o tem, ali so pri konkretnem ukrepu financiranja specifične infrastrukture izpolnjeni vsi elementi pojma državne pomoči.
This section provides an overview of how the Authority intends to assess the State aid nature of the funding of infrastructure in different sectors, having regard to the main features that public infrastructure financing typically and currently shows in the different sectors with respect to the conditions identified above.
Nadzorni organ je podrobnejše napotke o posameznih sektorjih zagotovil v nekaterih svojih smernicah in okvirih.
It is without prejudice to the outcome of the concrete case by case assessment of projects in the light of their specific characteristics, the way a given EEA State has organised the provision of services linked to the use of the infrastructure and the development of the commercial services and of the functioning of the EEA Agreement.
Letališko infrastrukturo sestavljajo raznovrstne infrastrukture.
It is not intended to replace an individual assessment of whether all the elements of the notion of State aid are fulfilled in respect of the concrete financing measure of a specific infrastructure.
Iz sodne prakse sodišč EGP izhaja, da je večina letališke infrastrukture [316] namenjene za zagotavljanje letaliških storitev letalskim prevoznikom proti plačilu [317], ki se uvrščajo med gospodarske dejavnosti, kar pomeni, da je njihovo financiranje predmet pravil o državni pomoči.
The Authority has also provided more detailed guidance on specific sectors in some of its Guidelines and Frameworks.
Podobno je javno financiranje infrastrukture, ki je namenjena za neletalske komercialne storitve za druge uporabnike, predmet pravil o državni pomoči [318].
Airport infrastructure consists of different types of infrastructure.
Ker letališča pogosto konkurirajo med seboj, je tudi verjetno, da financiranje letališke infrastrukture vpliva na trgovino med državami EGP.
Based on the case law of the EEA Courts, it is well established that most airport infrastructure [316] is intended for the provision of airport services to airlines against payment [317], which qualify as economic activities, and that therefore their funding is subject to the State aid rules.
Nasprotno pa javno financiranje infrastruktur, namenjenih za dejavnosti, za katere je odgovorna država v okviru izvajanja svojih javnih pooblastil, ne spada na področje pravil o državni pomoči.
Similarly, if an infrastructure is intended for non-aeronautical commercial services to other users, its public funding is subject to the State aid rules [318].
Kontrola zračnega prometa, reševalna in gasilska služba na letališčih, policija, carina in dejavnosti, nujne za varovanje civilnega letalstva na letališču pred dejanji nezakonitega vmešavanja, se na splošno štejejo za negospodarske.
Since airports often compete with one another, the financing of airport infrastructure is also likely to affect trade between EEA States.
Kakor izhaja iz prakse odločanja Nadzornega organa in Komisije( [319], tudi pristaniška infrastruktura daje prednost gospodarski dejavnosti in je zato načeloma predmet pravil o državni pomoči.
In contrast, public funding of infrastructures intended for activities that fall under the responsibility of the State in the exercise of its public powers does not fall under the State aid rules.
Kakor letališča tudi pristanišča lahko konkurirajo med seboj, zato je tudi za financiranje pristaniške infrastrukture verjetno, da vpliva na trgovino med državami EGP.
Air traffic control, aircraft rescue and firefighting, police, customs and activities necessary to safeguard civil aviation at an airport against acts of unlawful interference are in general considered to be of such a non-economic nature.
Nasprotno pa naložbe za infrastrukturo, ki je potrebna za dejavnosti, za katere je odgovorna država v okviru izvajanja svojih javnih pooblastil, niso predmet nadzora državne pomoči.
Similarly, as follows from the Authority's and the Commission's decision-making practice [319], public funding of port infrastructure favours an economic activity and is hence in principle subject to State aid rules.
Nadzor pomorskega prometa, gasilska služba, policija in carina so na splošno takšne negospodarske dejavnosti.
As is the case with airports, ports may compete with one another and the financing of port infrastructure is therefore also likely to affect trade between EEA States.
Širokopasovna infrastruktura se uporablja za zagotavljanje telekomunikacijske povezljivosti končnim uporabnikom.
However, investment for infrastructure that is necessary for activities that fall under the responsibility of the State in the exercise of its public powers are not subject to State aid control.
Zagotavljanje povezljivosti končnim uporabnikom proti plačilu je gospodarska dejavnost.
Maritime traffic control, firefighting, police and customs are in general of such non-economic nature.
Širokopasovno infrastrukturo v veliko primerih gradijo operaterji brez kakršnega koli državnega financiranja, kar je dokaz znatnega tržnega financiranja, v veliko geografskih conah pa si konkurira več omrežij različnih operaterjev [320].
Broadband infrastructure is used to enable the provision of telecommunication connectivity to end-users.
Širokopasovne infrastrukture so del velikih in medsebojno povezanih omrežij, ki se izkoriščajo v komercialne namene.
Providing connectivity to end-users against payment is an economic activity.
Zato je javno financiranje širokopasovne infrastrukture za zagotavljanje povezljivosti končnim uporabnikom predmet pravil o državni pomoči, kakor je navedeno v Smernicah za uporabo pravil o državni pomoči v zvezi s hitro postavitvijo širokopasovnih omrežij [321].
Broadband infrastructure is in many instances built by operators without any State funding, which is evidence of significant market financing, and in many geographical zones several networks of different operators compete [320].
Nasprotno pa je povezovanje zgolj javnih organov negospodarska dejavnost in javno financiranje tako imenovanih „zaprtih omrežij“, zato ne pomeni državne pomoči [322].
Broadband infrastructures are part of large, interconnected and commercially exploited networks.
Energetska infrastruktura [323] se uporablja za zagotavljanje energetskih storitev proti plačilu, kar pomeni gospodarsko dejavnost.
For these reasons, public funding of broadband infrastructure for the provision of connectivity to end-users is subject to State aid rules, as set out in the Guidelines for the application of State aid rules in relation to the rapid deployment of broadband networks [321].
Energetsko infrastrukturo v veliki meri gradijo udeleženci na trgu, kar je dokaz znatnega tržnega financiranja, financira pa se s tarifami za odjemalce.
In contrast, connecting only public authorities is a non-economic activity and the public funding of so called ‘closed networks’ therefore does not constitute State aid [322].
Javno financiranje energetske infrastrukture zato daje prednost gospodarski dejavnosti, poleg tega pa je verjetno, da ima vpliv na trgovino med državami EGP ter je zato načeloma predmet pravil o državni pomoči [324].
Energy infrastructure [323] is used for the provision of energy services against payment, which amounts to an economic activity.
Javno financiranje raziskovalne infrastrukture lahko daje prednost gospodarski dejavnosti in je zato predmet pravil o državni pomoči, kolikor je infrastruktura dejansko namenjena za izvajanje gospodarskih dejavnosti (kot so oddaja opreme ali laboratorijev v najem podjetjem, zagotavljanje storitev podjetjem ali izvajanje pogodbenih raziskav).
Energy infrastructure is, to a large extent, built by market actors, which is evidence of significant market financing, and financed through user tariffs.
Javno financiranje raziskovalnih infrastruktur, ki se uporabljajo za negospodarske dejavnosti, kot so neodvisne raziskave za več znanja in boljše razumevanje, pa nasprotno ne spada na področje pravil o državni pomoči.
Public funding of energy infrastructure therefore favours an economic activity and is likely to have an effect on trade between EEA States and is hence in principle subject to State aid rules [324].
Za podrobnejše napotke o razlikovanju med gospodarskimi in negospodarskimi dejavnostmi na področju raziskav glej razlage iz Smernic o državni pomoči za raziskave in razvoj ter inovacije [325].
Public funding of research infrastructures can favour an economic activity and is hence subject to State aid rules insofar as the infrastructure is in fact intended for the performance of economic activities (such as renting out equipment or laboratories to undertakings, supplying services to undertakings or performing contract research).
Čeprav lahko upravljanje železniške infrastrukture [326] pomeni gospodarsko dejavnost [327], sama gradnja te infrastrukture, ki je dana na razpolago morebitnim uporabnikom pod enakimi in nediskriminatornimi pogoji (v nasprotju z upravljanjem infrastrukture), običajno izpolnjuje pogoje iz točke 211 in njeno financiranje zato običajno ne vpliva na trgovino med državami EGP ali izkrivlja konkurence.
Public funding of research infrastructures used for non-economic activities, such as independent research for increased knowledge and better understanding, in contrast, does not fall under the State aid rules.
Če želijo države EGP zagotoviti, da celotno financiranje zadevnega projekta ne bo predmet pravil o državni pomoči, morajo tudi zagotoviti, da bodo izpolnjeni pogoji iz točke 212.
For more detailed guidance on the distinction between economic and non-economic activities in the area of research, see the explanations provided in the Guidelines on State aid for research and development and innovation [325].
Enako velja za naložbe v železniške mostove, železniške predore in infrastrukturo mestnega prometa [328].
While the operation of railway infrastructure [326] may constitute an economic activity [327], the construction of railway infrastructure which is made available to potential users on equal and non-discriminatory terms – as opposed to the operation of the infrastructure – typically fulfils the conditions set out in paragraph 211 and its financing therefore typically does not affect trade between EEA States or distort competition.
Čeprav spadajo ceste, ki so javnosti na voljo brezplačno, med splošno infrastrukturo in njihovo javno financiranje ne spada na področje pravil o državni pomoči, upravljanje cest, na katerih se plačuje cestnina, v veliko primerih pomeni gospodarsko dejavnost.
To ensure that the entire funding of a given project is not subject to State aid rules, EEA States also have to ensure that the conditions set out in paragraph 212 are fulfilled.
Vendar gradnja takšne cestne infrastrukture [329], vključno s cestami, na katerih se plačuje cestnina – v nasprotju z upravljanjem takšnih cest, in pod pogojem, da ne gre za namensko infrastrukturo – običajno izpolnjuje pogoje iz točke 211 in njeno financiranje zato običajno ne vpliva na trgovino med državami EGP ali izkrivlja konkurence [330].
The same reasoning applies to investments in railway bridges, railway tunnels and urban transport infrastructure [328].
Če želijo države EGP zagotoviti, da celotno javno financiranje zadevnega projekta ne bo predmet pravil o državni pomoči, morajo tudi zagotoviti, da bodo izpolnjeni pogoji iz točke 212.
While roads made available for free public use are general infrastructures and their public funding does not fall under State aid rules, the operation of a toll-road constitutes in many instances an economic activity.
Enako velja za naložbe v mostove, predore in celinske plovne poti (na primer reke in kanale).
However, the construction as such of road infrastructure [329], including toll-roads – as opposed to the operation of a toll-road and provided that it does not constitute dedicated infrastructure – typically fulfils the conditions set out in paragraph 211 and its financing therefore typically does not affect trade between EEA States or distort competition [330].
Čeprav upravljanje omrežij oskrbe z vodo in odpadnih vod [331] pomeni gospodarsko dejavnost, gradnja celovitega omrežja oskrbe z vodo in odpadnih vod kot takšnega običajno izpolnjuje pogoje iz točke 211, zato njeno financiranje običajno ne izkrivlja konkurence ali vpliva na trgovino med državami EGP.
To ensure that the entire public funding of a given project is not subject to State aid rules EEA States also have to ensure that the conditions set out in paragraph 212 are fulfilled.
Če želijo države EGP zagotoviti, da celotno financiranje zadevnega projekta ne bo predmet pravil o državni pomoči, morajo tudi zagotoviti, da bodo izpolnjeni pogoji iz točke 212.
The same reasoning applies to investments in bridges, tunnels and inland waterways (for example rivers and canals).
Kadar so izpolnjeni vsi elementi člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP glede nosilca projekta / lastnika infrastrukture, se bo štelo, da sta nosilec projekta / lastnik infrastrukture prejela državno pomoč, ne glede na to, ali sama neposredno uporabljata infrastrukturo za zagotavljanje blaga ali storitev ali dajeta infrastrukturo na voljo tretji osebi, tj. operaterju, ki zagotavlja storitve končnim uporabnikom (na primer, če lastnik letališča podeli koncesijo za opravljanje storitev na letališču).
While the operation of water supply and waste water networks [331] constitutes an economic activity, the construction of a comprehensive water supply and waste water network as such typically fulfils the conditions set out in paragraph 211 and its financing therefore typically does not distort competition or affect trade between EEA States.
Operaterji, ki uporabljajo infrastrukturo, za katero je zagotovljena pomoč, za zagotavljanje storitev končnim uporabnikom, prejmejo prednost, če jim uporaba infrastrukture zagotavlja gospodarske koristi, ki jih ne bi imeli pod običajnimi tržnimi pogoji.
To ensure that the entire funding of a given project is not subject to State aid rules EEA States also have to ensure that the conditions set out in paragraph 212 are fulfilled.
To običajno velja, če za pravico do izkoriščanja infrastrukture plačajo manj, kot bi plačali za primerljivo infrastrukturo pod običajnimi tržnimi pogoji.
Where all the elements of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement are fulfilled as regards the developer/owner of an infrastructure, State aid to the developer/owner is present, irrespective of whether they make direct use of the infrastructure to provide goods or services themselves or make the infrastructure available to a third party operator who in turn provides services to end-users of the infrastructure (for example, where the owner of an airport grants a concession for the provision of services in the airport).
Napotki o tem, kako ugotoviti, ali so pogoji upravljanja skladni s tržnimi pogoji, so navedeni v oddelku 4.2.
Operators who make use of the aided infrastructure to provide services to end-users receive an advantage if the use of the infrastructure provides them with an economic benefit that they would not have obtained under normal market conditions.
V skladu z navedenim oddelkom Nadzorni organ meni, da se lahko gospodarska prednost operaterju zlasti izključi, če se koncesija za upravljanje infrastrukture (ali njenih delov) dodeli za pozitivno ceno prek razpisa, ki izpolnjuje vse ustrezne pogoje iz točk 90 do 96 [332].
This normally applies if what they pay for the right to exploit the infrastructure is less than what they would pay for a comparable infrastructure under normal market conditions.
Vendar Nadzorni organ opozarja, da če država EGP ne izpolni svoje obveznosti priglasitve in obstajajo pomisleki glede združljivosti pomoči nosilcu projekta / lastniku z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP, lahko izda odredbo, ki od države EGP zahteva, naj prekine izvajanje ukrepa in začasno izterja vsa izplačana sredstva, dokler Nadzorni organ ne sprejme sklepa glede njene združljivosti.
Guidance on how to establish whether the terms of operation comply with market conditions is provided in section 4.2.
To pa morajo storiti tudi nacionalni sodniki na zahtevo konkurentov.
In line with that section, the Authority considers that an economic advantage to the operator can in particular be excluded if the concession to operate the infrastructure (or parts of it) is assigned for a positive price through a tender that meets all the relevant conditions set out in paragraphs 90 to 96 [332].
Poleg tega, če Nadzorni organ po svoji presoji ukrepa sprejme sklep, s katerim razglasi pomoč za nezdružljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP in odredi njeno izterjavo, vpliva na operaterja infrastrukture ni mogoče izključiti.
However, the Authority recalls that if an EEA State does not comply with its notification obligation and there are doubts as to the compatibility of the aid to the developer/owner with the functioning of the EEA Agreement, the Authority may issue an injunction requiring the EEA State to suspend the implementation of the measure and to provisionally recover any money paid until it has taken a decision on its compatibility.
Če je operater infrastrukture prejel državno pomoč ali če so njegova sredstva državna sredstva, lahko podeli prednost uporabnikom infrastrukture (če so to podjetja), razen če so pogoji uporabe skladni s preskusom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, kar pomeni, da je infrastruktura uporabnikom dana na razpolago pod tržnimi pogoji.
In addition, national judges are under an obligation to do so as well at the request of competitors.
V skladu s splošnimi načeli iz oddelka 4.2 se lahko prednost za uporabnike v takšnih primerih izključi, če so nadomestila za uporabo infrastrukture določena prek razpisa, ki izpolnjuje vse ustrezne pogoje iz točk 90 do 96.
Furthermore, if, following its assessment of the measure, the Authority adopts a decision declaring the aid to be incompatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement and orders its recovery, an impact on the operator of the infrastructure cannot be excluded.
Kakor je pojasnjeno v oddelku 4.2, se lahko v primeru, kadar takšni specifični dokazi niso na voljo, vprašanje, ali je transakcija v skladu s tržnimi pogoji, presoja glede na pogoje, pod katerimi primerljivi zasebni operaterji omogočajo uporabo primerljive infrastrukture v primerljivih situacijah (primerjalna analiza), če je takšna primerjava mogoča.
If the operator of an infrastructure has received State aid or if its resources constitute State resources, it is in a position to grant an advantage to the users of the infrastructure (if they are undertakings) unless the terms of use comply with the MEO test, that is to say the infrastructure is made available to the users on market terms.
Če ni mogoče uporabiti nobenega od zgoraj navedenih meril presoje, se lahko uporabi splošno sprejeta, standardna metodologija presoje, da se ugotovi, ali je transakcija v skladu s tržnimi pogoji.
In accordance with the general principles explained in section 4.2, an advantage to users in such cases can be excluded where the fees for use of the infrastructure have been set through a tender that meets all the relevant conditions set out in paragraphs 90 to 96.
Nadzorni organ meni, da je preskusu udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu mogoče zadostiti pri javnem financiranju odprtih infrastruktur, ki niso namenjene specifičnim uporabnikom, kadar uporabniki s predhodnega vidika postopno prispevajo k donosnosti projekta/operaterja.
As explained in section 4.2, where such specific evidence is not available, the question of whether a transaction is in line with market conditions can be assessed in the light of the terms and conditions under which the use of comparable infrastructure is granted by comparable private operators in comparable situations (benchmarking), provided such a comparison is possible.
Tako je, kadar operater infrastrukture sklene komercialni dogovor s posameznimi uporabniki, ki omogoča kritje vseh stroškov, ki izhajajo iz takšnega dogovora, vključno z razumno stopnjo dobička na podlagi dobrih srednjeročnih obetov.
If none of the above assessment criteria can be applied, the fact that a transaction is in line with market conditions can be established on the basis of a generally accepted, standard assessment methodology.
Ta presoja bi morala upoštevati vse dodatne prihodke in pričakovane dodatne stroške, ki jih ima operater v zvezi z dejavnostjo specifičnega uporabnika [333].
The Authority considers that the MEO test can be satisfied for public funding of open infrastructures not dedicated to any specific user(s) where their users incrementally contribute, from an ex ante viewpoint, to the profitability of the project/operator.
KONČNE DOLOČBE
This is the case where the operator of the infrastructure establishes commercial arrangements with individual users that allow covering all costs stemming from such arrangements, including a reasonable profit margin on the basis of sound medium-term prospect.
Te smernice nadomeščajo naslednje smernice Nadzornega organa:
This assessment should take into account all incremental revenues and expected incremental costs incurred by the operator in relation to the activity of the specific user [333].
Smernice o uporabi določb o državni pomoči za javna podjetja v predelovalni industriji [334],Smernice o elementih državne pomoči pri prodaji zemljišč in objektov s strani javnih oblasti [335],Smernice o uporabi pravil o državni pomoči za ukrepe, ki zadevajo neposredno obdavčitev ustvarjenega dohodka [336].230.
FINAL PROVISIONS
Te smernice nadomeščajo kakršne koli nasprotujoče si izjave v zvezi s pojmom državne pomoči, ki so vključene v katere koli obstoječe smernice Nadzornega organa, razen v primeru izjav, ki se nanašajo na posamezne sektorje in izhajajo iz njihovih posebnosti.
