EFTA States are in particular invited to rely on board documents, risk assessments, financial reports, internal business plans, expert opinions and other studies related to the project under assessment.
Da se zagotovijo predvidljivost in enaki konkurenčni pogoji, Nadzorni organ za pomoč za R&R&I uporablja največje intenzivnosti pomoči, ki se določajo na podlagi treh meril:
Documents containing information on demand forecasts, cost forecasts, financial forecasts, documents that are submitted to an investment committee and that describe in detail various investment scenarios, or documents provided to financial institutions could help EFTA States demonstrate the incentive effect.
bližine pomoči do trga, ki se uporablja kot približek za pričakovane negativne učinke in potrebo po pomoči, ob upoštevanju morebitnih večjih prihodkov, ki jih je mogoče pričakovati od dejavnosti, ki prejemajo pomoč;
In order to ensure that the incentive effect is established on an objective basis, the Authority may in its assessment compare company-specific data with data concerning the industry in which the aid beneficiary is active.
Zato bi morale biti intenzivnosti pomoči za dejavnosti, povezane z razvojem in inovacijami, na splošno nižje kot za raziskovalne dejavnosti.
In particular, EFTA States should where possible provide industry-specific data demonstrating that the beneficiary's counterfactual scenario, its required level of profitability and its expected cash flows are reasonable.
Upravičeni stroški za vsak ukrep pomoči iz teh smernic so določeni v Prilogi I. Če projekt R in R obsega različne naloge, mora biti vsaka naloga, ki izpolnjuje pogoje, uvrščena v kategorije temeljnih raziskav, industrijskih raziskav ali eksperimentalnega razvoja [43].
In that context, the level of profitability can be evaluated by reference to methodologies which are demonstrably used by the beneficiary undertaking or are standard practice in the particular industry concerned, and which may include methods for evaluating the net present value of the project (NPV) [41], the internal rate of return (IRR) [42] or the average return on capital employed (ROCE).
Nadzorni organ se pri razvrščanju različnih dejavnosti glede na ustrezno kategorijo sklicuje na lastno prakso ter na posebne primere in pojasnila iz priročnika Frascati organizacije OECD [44].
If the aid does not change the behaviour of the beneficiary by stimulating additional R&D&I activities, it has no positive effects in terms of promoting R&D&I in the EEA.
Največje intenzivnosti pomoči, ki se na splošno uporabljajo za vse upravičene ukrepe R&R&I, so določene v Prilogi II [45].
Therefore, aid will not be considered compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement in cases where it appears that the same activities could and would be pursued even without the aid.
V primeru državne pomoči za projekt, ki se izvaja v sodelovanju med raziskovalnimi organizacijami in podjetji, kombinacija neposredne javne podpore in prispevkov raziskovalnih organizacij za ta projekt, kadar ti prispevki pomenijo pomoč, ne sme presegati veljavnih intenzivnosti pomoči za vsako podjetje, ki prejema pomoč.
For any R&D&I aid to be considered proportional, its amount must be limited to the minimum needed for carrying out the aided activity.
Vračljivi predujmi
In order to ensure that the level of aid is proportionate to the market failures which it is intended to address, the aid must be determined in relation to a predefined set of eligible costs and limited to a certain proportion of those eligible costs (‘aid intensity’).
Če država Efte dodeli vračljivi predujem, ki izpolnjuje pogoje za državno pomoč v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP, se uporabljajo pravila iz tega oddelka.
The aid intensity must be established for each beneficiary of aid, including in a collaboration project.
Kadar lahko država Efte na podlagi veljavne metodologije, ki temelji na zadostnih preverljivih podatkih, dokaže, da je mogoče izračunati bruto ekvivalent nepovratnih sredstev vračljivega predujma, lahko shemo pomoči in z njo povezano metodologijo priglasi Nadzornemu organu.
To ensure predictability and a level playing field, the Authority applies maximum aid intensities for R&D&I aid, which are established on the basis of three criteria:
Če Nadzorni organ sprejme metodologijo in meni, da je shema združljiva, se lahko pomoč dodeli na podlagi bruto ekvivalenta nepovratnih sredstev vračljivega predujma do intenzivnosti pomoči, določenih v Prilogi II.
and (iii) the acuteness of the market failure, such as the expected externalities in terms of dissemination of knowledge.
v primeru uspeha, ki presega izid, ki je opredeljen kot uspešen, bi morala zadevna država Efte zahtevati izplačila, ki presegajo vračilo predujma, vključno z obrestmi v skladu z veljavno diskontno stopnjo;
Therefore, aid intensities should generally be lower for activities linked to development and innovation than for research activities.
če projekt ne uspe, predujma ni treba vrniti v celoti.
The eligible costs for each aid measure covered by these guidelines are set out in Annex I. When an R & D project encompasses different tasks, each eligible task must fall under the categories of fundamental research, industrial research or experimental development [43].
V primeru delnega uspeha mora biti povračilo sorazmerno s stopnjo doseženega uspeha.
When classifying different activities according to the relevant category, the Authority will refer to its own practice as well as to the specific examples and explanations provided in the OECD Frascati Manual [44].
Da bi lahko Nadzorni organ ocenil ukrep, mora ta vključevati podrobne določbe o povračilu v primeru uspeha, v katerih mora biti na podlagi razumne in preudarne domneve jasno opredeljeno, kaj se bo štelo za uspešen izid.
The maximum aid intensities generally applicable to all eligible R&D&I measures are set out in Annex II [45].
Davčni ukrepi
In the case of State aid for a project being carried out in collaboration between research organisations and undertakings, the combination of direct public support and, where they constitute aid, contributions from research organisations to the same project must not exceed the applicable aid intensities for each beneficiary undertaking.
Če davčni ukrepi pomenijo državno pomoč, je mogoče njihovo intenzivnost pomoči izračunati bodisi na podlagi posameznih projektov bodisi, na ravni podjetij, kot razmerje med skupno davčno olajšavo in vsoto upravičenih stroškov R&R&I, nastalih v obdobju, ki ne presega treh zaporednih proračunskih let.
Repayable advances
V slednjem primeru se lahko davčni ukrep uporablja brez razlikovanja za vse upravičene dejavnosti, vendar ne sme presegati veljavne intenzivnosti pomoči za eksperimentalni razvoj [47].
If an EFTA State awards a repayable advance which qualifies as State aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement, the rules laid down in this section apply.
Kumulacija pomoči
Where an EFTA State can demonstrate, on the basis of a valid methodology based on sufficient verifiable data, that it is possible to calculate the gross grant equivalent of a repayable advance, it may notify an aid scheme and the associated methodology to the Authority.
Pomoč se lahko dodeli hkrati na podlagi več shem pomoči ali kumulira z ad hoc pomočjo, če skupni znesek državne pomoči za dejavnost ali projekt ne presega zgornjih mej pomoči iz teh smernic.
If the Authority accepts the methodology and deems the scheme compatible, the aid may be awarded on the basis of the gross grant equivalent of the repayable advance, up to the aid intensities laid down in Annex II.
Kakor je omenjeno v točki 9, finančna sredstva, ki jih centralno upravljajo institucije, agencije, skupna podjetja ali drugi organi Evropske unije ter niso pod neposrednim ali posrednim nadzorom držav Efte, ne pomenijo državne pomoči in se ne bi smela upoštevati.
In all other cases, the repayable advance is expressed as a percentage of the eligible costs and may exceed the applicable maximum aid intensities by 10 percentage points, provided that the following conditions are fulfilled:
Kadar se takšno financiranje združi z državno pomočjo, celotni znesek javnega financiranja, ki je bil dodeljen v zvezi z istimi upravičenimi stroški, ne sme presegati najugodnejših stopenj financiranja iz veljavnih pravil Sporazuma EGP.
in case of a successful outcome, the measure must provide that the advance is to be repaid with an interest rate not less than the discount rate resulting from the application of the Authority method for setting the reference and discount rates [46];
Kadar so lahko izdatki, ki so upravičeni do pomoči za R&R&I, v celoti ali delno upravičeni tudi do pomoči za druge namene, bo za skupni del veljala najugodnejša zgornja meja iz katerih koli zadevnih pravil.
in case of a success exceeding the outcome defined as successful, the EFTA State concerned should request payments beyond repayment of the advance amount including interest according to the applicable discount rate;
Pomoč za R&R&I se ne sme kumulirati s podporo de minimis v zvezi z istimi upravičenimi stroški, če bi bil rezultat intenzivnost pomoči, ki bi presegla intenzivnosti iz teh smernic.
in case the project fails, the advance does not have to be fully repaid.
Kar zadeva individualno pomoč, ki jo je treba priglasiti, zgolj upoštevanje vrste vnaprej določenih največjih intenzivnosti pomoči ne zadostuje za zagotovitev sorazmernosti.
In case of partial success, the repayment should be proportional to the degree of success achieved.
Nadzorni organ se pri določanju sorazmernosti pomoči praviloma prepriča, da znesek pomoči ne presega najnižjega potrebnega zneska, da bi bil projekt, ki prejema pomoč, dovolj donosen, tako da na primer omogoča doseganje notranje stopnje donosa, ki ustreza merilu uspešnosti ali minimalni stopnji donosa v sektorju ali podjetju.
For the Authority to assess the measure, it must include detailed provisions on the repayment in case of success, which clearly define what will be considered as a successful outcome, on the basis of reasonable and prudent hypothesis.
Zato se lahko uporabljajo tudi običajni donosi, ki jih prejemnik pomoči zahteva pri drugih projektih R&R&I, celotni stroški kapitala ali donos, ki je običajen v zadevni gospodarski panogi.
Fiscal measures
Upoštevati je treba vse zadevne pričakovane stroške in koristi v celotni življenjski dobi projekta, vključno s stroški in prihodki, ki izhajajo iz rezultatov dejavnosti R&R&I.
To the extent it constitutes State aid, the aid intensity of a fiscal measure can be calculated either on the basis of individual projects or, at the level of an undertaking, as the ratio between the overall tax relief and the sum of all eligible R&D&I costs incurred in a period not exceeding three consecutive fiscal years.
Kadar se na primer z internimi dokumenti podjetja dokaže, da ima upravičenec do pomoči jasno izbiro med izvedbo projekta, ki bo prejel pomoč, in izvedbo alternativnega projekta brez pomoči, se šteje, da je pomoč omejena na najmanjšo potrebno le, če njen znesek ne presega neto dodatnih stroškov izvajanja zadevnih dejavnosti v primerjavi s hipotetičnim projektom, ki bi se izvajal brez pomoči.
In the latter case, the fiscal measure may apply without distinction to all eligible activities, but must not exceed the applicable aid intensity for experimental development [47].
Da bi lahko Nadzorni organ ocenil neto dodatne stroške, bo primerjal pričakovane neto sedanje vrednosti naložbe v projekt, ki prejema pomoč, in hipotetični projekt, pri čemer bo upošteval verjetnosti različnih poslovnih scenarijev [48].
Cumulation of aid
Kadar je pomoč odobrena za projekte R in R ali zgraditev ali posodobitev raziskovalnih infrastruktur ter kadar lahko Nadzorni organ na podlagi metodologije iz točke 87 ali 88 ugotovi, da je pomoč strogo omejena na najnižji potrebni znesek, se lahko dovolijo višje največje intenzivnosti pomoči od tistih iz Priloge II, in sicer do ravni iz spodnje razpredelnice.
Aid may be awarded concurrently under several aid schemes or cumulated with ad hoc aid, provided that the total amount of State aid for an activity or project does not exceed the aid ceilings laid down in these guidelines.
Malo podjetje
As recalled in point 9, funding centrally managed by the European Union institutions, agencies, joint undertakings or other bodies that is not directly or indirectly under the control of EFTA States does not constitute State aid and should not be taken into account.
Srednje podjetje
Where such funding is combined with State aid, the total amount of public funding awarded in relation to the same eligible costs must however not exceed the most favourable funding rate laid down in the applicable rules of the EEA Agreement.
Veliko podjetje
Where the expenditure eligible for R&D&I aid is also potentially eligible in whole or in part for aid for other purposes, the overlapping portion will be subject to the most favourable ceiling under any of the relevant rules.
Pomoč za projekte R in R
Aid for R&D&I may not be cumulated with de minimis support in respect of the same eligible costs if that would result in an aid intensity exceeding those laid down in these guidelines.
Temeljne raziskave
For notifiable individual aid, mere compliance with a set of predefined maximum aid intensities is not sufficient to ensure proportionality.
Uporabne raziskave
As a general rule, and in order to establish whether the aid is proportional, the Authority will verify that its amount does not exceed the minimum necessary for the aided project to be sufficiently profitable, for example by making possible to achieve an IRR corresponding to the sector- or firm-specific benchmark or hurdle rate.
odvisno od učinkovitega sodelovanja med podjetji (za velika podjetja: čezmejno sodelovanje ali sodelovanje z vsaj enim MSP) ali med podjetjem in raziskovalno organizacijo ali
Normal rates of return required by the beneficiary in other R&D&I projects, its cost of capital as a whole or returns commonly observed in the industry concerned may also be used for this purpose.
odvisno od obsežnega razširjanja rezultatov
All relevant expected costs and benefits must be considered over the lifetime of the project, including the costs and revenues stemming from the results of R&D&I activities.
Pomoč za zgraditev in posodobitev raziskovalnih infrastruktur
Where it is shown, for example by means of internal company documents, that the aid beneficiary faces a clear choice between carrying out either an aided project or an alternative one without aid, the aid will be considered to be limited to the minimum only if its amount does not exceed the net extra costs of implementing the activities concerned, compared to the counterfactual project that would be carried out in the absence of aid.
Da bi države Efte dokazale, da je pomoč omejena na najmanjšo potrebno, morajo pojasniti, kako je bil znesek pomoči določen.
In order to establish the net extra costs, the Authority will compare the expected net present values of the investment in the aided project and the counterfactual project, account being taken of the probabilities of different business scenarios occurring [48].
Dokumentacija in izračuni, ki se uporabljajo za analizo spodbujevalnega učinka, se lahko uporabijo tudi za ocenjevanje sorazmernosti pomoči.
Where aid is awarded for R & D projects or for the construction or upgrade of research infrastructures and the Authority can establish, on the basis of the methodology laid down in points 87 or 88, that the aid is strictly limited to the minimum necessary, higher maximum aid intensities than those laid down in Annex II may be allowed, up to the levels set out in the following table.
Če se ugotovljena potreba po pomoči nanaša v glavnem na težave pri privabljanju dolžniškega financiranja s trga, ne pa na pomanjkanje donosnosti, je lahko posebno primeren način za zagotovitev, da je dodeljena pomoč najmanjša potrebna, da se ta dodeli s posojilom, jamstvom ali vračljivimi predujmi in ne v nevračljivi obliki, kot so nepovratna sredstva.
Small enterprise
Kadar je več morebitnih kandidatov za izvajanje dejavnosti, ki prejema pomoč, je verjetnost, da bo zahteva po sorazmernosti izpolnjena, večja, če se pomoč dodeli na podlagi preglednih, objektivnih in nediskriminatornih meril.
Medium-sized enterprise
Da se odpravijo dejanska ali morebitna neposredna ali posredna izkrivljanja mednarodne trgovine, se lahko odobrijo večje intenzivnosti, kot je splošno dovoljeno v skladu s temi smernicami, če so konkurenti, ki so zunaj EGP, neposredno ali posredno v zadnjih treh letih prejeli ali bodo prejeli pomoč enake intenzivnosti za podobne projekte.
Large enterprise
Kadar pa je glede na posebno naravo zadevnega sektorja verjetno, da bo izkrivljanje mednarodne trgovine nastopilo po več kot treh letih, se lahko referenčno obdobje ustrezno podaljša.
Aid for R & D projects
Če je mogoče, zadevna država Efte Nadzornemu organu posreduje zadostne informacije, da lahko ta oceni razmere, zlasti glede potrebe po upoštevanju konkurenčne prednosti, ki jo uživa konkurent iz tretje države.
Fundamental research
Če Nadzorni organ nima dokazov v zvezi z dodeljeno ali predlagano pomočjo, lahko svojo odločitev utemelji tudi na posrednih dokazih.
Applied research
Nadzorni organ lahko pri zbiranju dokazov uporabi svoja preiskovalna pooblastila [49].
subject to effective collaboration between undertakings (for large enterprises cross-border or with at least one SME) or between an undertaking and a research organisation, or
Pomoč za R&R&I se šteje za združljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP, če so negativni učinki ukrepa pomoči v smislu izkrivljanja konkurence in učinka na trgovino med državami Efte omejeni in jih odtehtajo pozitivni učinki v smislu prispevka k cilju skupnega interesa.
subject to wide dissemination of results
Nadzorni organ opredeljuje dve glavni mogoči vrsti izkrivljanja konkurence in trgovine med državami Efte, ki bi ju lahko povzročila pomoč za R&R&I, in sicer izkrivljanje proizvodnega trga in učinke na izbiro lokacije.
Aid for the construction and upgrade of research infrastructures
Obe vrsti lahko privedeta do neučinkovitosti pri alokaciji, ki ovirajo gospodarsko uspešnost EGP, in težav v zvezi z distribucijo, saj pomoč vpliva na porazdelitev gospodarskih dejavnosti po regijah.
In order to demonstrate that aid is limited to the minimum necessary, EFTA States must explain how the aid amount has been established.
Kar zadeva izkrivljanja na proizvodnih trgih, lahko državna pomoč za R&R&I vpliva na konkurenco v inovacijskih procesih in na proizvodnih trgih, kjer se izkoriščajo rezultati dejavnosti R&R&I.
Documentation and calculations used for the analysis of the incentive effect can also be used to assess whether the aid is proportionate.
Učinki na proizvodne trge
In so far as the identified need for aid relates mainly to difficulties in attracting debt finance from the market, rather than to a lack of profitability, a particularly apt way to ensure that the aid is kept to the minimum may be to provide it in the form of a loan, guarantee or repayable advance instead of a non-repayable form, such as a grant.
Državna pomoč za R&R&I lahko konkurenco pri procesih inovacij in na proizvodnih trgih ovira na tri načine, in sicer z izkrivljanjem procesa konkurenčnega vstopa in izstopa, izkrivljanjem dinamičnih spodbud za naložbe ter ustvarjanjem ali ohranjanjem tržne moči.
Where there are multiple potential candidates for carrying out the aided activity, the proportionality requirement is more likely to be met if the aid is awarded on the basis of transparent, objective and non-discriminatory criteria.
Izkrivljanje procesov konkurenčnega vstopa in izstopa
In order to address actual or potential direct or indirect distortions of international trade, higher intensities than generally permissible under these guidelines may be authorised if, directly or indirectly, competitors located outside the EEA have received in the last three years or are going to receive aid of an equivalent intensity for similar projects.
Pomoč za R&R&I lahko tržnemu mehanizmu prepreči, da bi nagradil najučinkovitejše proizvajalce in izvajal pritisk na najmanj učinkovite proizvajalce, da bi se izboljšali, prestrukturirali ali izstopili s trga.
However, where distortions of international trade are likely to occur after more than three years, given the particular nature of the sector in question, the reference period may be extended accordingly.
To lahko privede do razmer, v katerih so zaradi dodeljene pomoči konkurenti, ki bi sicer lahko ostali na trgu, tega prisiljeni zapustiti ali pa nanj nikoli ne vstopijo.
Where possible, the EFTA State concerned will provide the Authority with sufficient information to enable it to assess the situation, in particular the need to take account of the competitive advantage enjoyed by a third country competitor.
Podobno lahko državna pomoč neučinkovitim podjetjem prepreči, da bi zapustila trg, ali jih celo spodbudi, da vstopijo na trg in pridobijo tržne deleže od sicer učinkovitejših konkurentov.
Where the Authority does not have evidence concerning the awarded or proposed aid, it may also base its decision on circumstantial evidence.
Nepravilno usmerjena pomoč za R&R&I lahko tako podpira neučinkovita podjetja in vodi k tržnim strukturam, pri katerih mnogo udeležencev na trgu deluje znatno pod ravnjo učinkovitosti.
When gathering evidence, the Authority may use its investigative powers [49].
Dolgoročno lahko oviranje procesov konkurenčnega vstopa in izstopa zavre inovacije in upočasni izboljšanja produktivnosti v celotni gospodarski panogi.
For R&D&I aid to be compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement, the negative effects of the aid measure in terms of distortions of competition and impact on trade between EFTA States must be limited and outweighed by the positive effects in terms of contribution to the objective of common interest.
Izkrivljanje dinamičnih spodbud
The Authority identifies two main potential distortions of competition and trade between EFTA States caused by R&D&I aid, namely product market distortions and location effects.
Pomoč za R&R&I lahko izkrivlja dinamične spodbude konkurentov upravičenca do pomoči za naložbe.
Both types may lead to allocative inefficiencies, undermining the economic performance of the EEA, and distributional concerns, in that the aid affects the distribution of economic activity across regions.
Ko podjetje prejme pomoč, to na splošno poveča verjetnost, da bodo njegove dejavnosti R&R&I uspešne, kar vodi v povečano prisotnost na upoštevnih proizvodnih trgih v prihodnosti.
As far as distortions on the product markets are concerned, State aid for R&D&I may have an impact on competition in innovation processes and in the product markets where the results of the R&D&I activities are exploited.
Ta povečana prisotnost lahko konkurente spodbudi k zmanjšanju obsega njihovih prvotnih naložbenih načrtov (učinek izrinjanja).
Effects on product markets
Poleg tega lahko pomoč povzroči samozadovoljnost potencialnih upravičencev ali pa jih spodbuja k večjemu tveganju.
State aid for R&D&I can hamper competition in innovation processes and product markets in three ways, namely by distorting the competitive entry and exit process, by distorting dynamic investment incentives and by creating or maintaining market power.
Dolgoročni vpliv na splošno uspešnost sektorja je v tem primeru najverjetneje negativen.
Distorting the competitive entry and exit processes
Nepravilno usmerjena pomoč za R&R&I lahko tako podpira neučinkovita podjetja in vodi k tržnim strukturam, pri katerih mnogo udeležencev na trgu deluje znatno pod ravnjo učinkovitosti.
R&D&I aid may prevent the market mechanism from rewarding the most efficient producers and putting pressure on the least efficient to improve, restructure or exit the market.
Ustvarjanje ali ohranjanje tržne moči
That might lead to a situation where, due to the aid awarded, competitors that would otherwise be able to stay on are forced out of the market, or never enter in the first place.
Pomoč za R&R&I lahko ima tudi izkrivljajoče učinke v smislu povečanja ali ohranjanja stopnje tržne moči na proizvodnih trgih.
