Normally, in order to ensure an adequate incentive for the undertaking to change its behaviour, the aid amount must be linked directly to the cost borne by the undertaking.
Za zagotovitev primerne spodbude za podjetje, da spremeni svoje ravnanje, je treba ponavadi znesek pomoči neposredno povezati s stroški, ki jih nosi podjetje.
Negative effects of environmental aid must be limited so that the overall balance is positive
Negativni učinki okoljske pomoči morajo biti omejeni, tako da je skupna bilanca pozitivna
If environmental State aid measures are well targeted to counterweigh only the actual extra costs linked to a higher level of environmental protection, the risk that the aid will unduly distort competition is normally rather limited.
Če so ukrepi državne pomoči za okolje dobro usmerjeni in so protiutež samo dejanskim dodatnim stroškom, povezanim z višjo stopnjo varstva okolja, je tveganje, da bo pomoč neupravičeno izkrivljala konkurenco, ponavadi dokaj omejeno.
Consequently, it is crucial that environmental State aid measures are well targeted.
Zato je bistveno, da so ukrepi državne pomoči za okolje dobro usmerjeni.
In cases where aid is not necessary or proportionate to achieve its intended objective it will harm competition.
Kadar pomoč ni potrebna ali sorazmerna za dosego predvidenega cilja, bo škodila konkurenci.
This may in particular be the case if aid leads to:
To se lahko zgodi zlasti, če pomoč pripelje do:
maintaining inefficient firms afloat;
podpiranja neučinkovitih podjetij;
distorting dynamic incentives/crowding out;
izkrivljanja dinamičnih spodbud/izrinjanja;
creating market power or exclusionary practices;
oblikovanja tržne moči ali izključitvenih dejanj;
artificially altering trade flows or the location of production.
umetnega spreminjanja trgovinskih tokov ali lokacije proizvodnje.
In some cases, the purpose of the measure is to intervene in the functioning of the market with a view to favouring, to the overall benefit of the environment, certain environmentally friendly productions at the expense of other, more polluting ones.
V nekaterih primerih je zaradi skupne koristi za okolje cilj ukrepa posredovati pri delovanju trga za spodbuditev določenih okolju prijaznejših proizvodenj na račun drugih, ki bolj onesnažujejo.
As a result of such measures, the producers of the environmentally friendly products concerned will be able to improve their market position in relation to competitors offering environmentally less beneficial products.
Taki ukrepi povzročijo, da lahko proizvajalci zadevnih okolju prijaznih proizvodov izboljšajo svoj tržni položaj glede na konkurente, ki nudijo okolju manj koristne proizvode.
In such cases, the Authority will take into account the overall environmental effect of the measure when looking at its negative impact on the market position, and thus on the profits, of non-aided firms.
V takih primerih bo Nadzorni organ upošteval splošen okoljski učinek ukrepa pri njegovem negativnem vplivu na tržni položaj in s tem na dobiček podjetij, ki ne dobivajo pomoči.
The lower the expected environmental effect of the measure in question, the more important the verification of its effect on market shares and profits of competing products.
Manjši kot je pričakovani okoljski učinek zadevnega ukrepa, pomembnejše je preverjanje njegovega učinka na tržne deleže in dobiček konkurenčnih proizvodov.
Implementing the balancing test: legal presumptions and need for more detailed assessment
Izvajanje testa tehtanja: pravne domneve in potreba po podrobnejši oceni
Without prejudice to Articles 4 to 7 of Part II of Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the EFTA States on the Establishment of a Surveillance Authority and Court of Justice (hereinafter referred to as “the Surveillance and Court Agreement”), the legal presumptions applied by the EFTA Surveillance Authority differ according to the type of State aid measure notified.
Brez poseganja v člene 4 do 7 dela II Protokola 3 k Sporazumu med članicami Efte o ustanovitvi nadzornega organa in sodišča (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Sporazum o nadzornem organu in sodišču) se pravne domneve, ki jih uporablja Nadzorni organ Efte, razlikujejo glede na vrsto priglašenega ukrepa državne pomoči.
In Chapter 3 of these Guidelines, the Authority has identified a series of measures in respect of which it considers a priori that State aid will address a market failure hampering environmental protection or improve on the level of environmental protection.
V poglavju 3 teh smernic je Nadzorni organ opredelil vrsto ukrepov, v zvezi s katerimi vnaprej meni, da bo državna pomoč obravnavala tržno nepopolnost, ki ovira varstvo okolja, ali izboljšala raven varstva okolja.
The Authority also sets out a series of conditions and parameters, which are intended to ensure that State aid actually has an incentive effect, is proportionate and has a limited negative impact on competition and trade.
Nadzorni organ poleg tega določa vrsto pogojev in parametrov, katerih namen je zagotoviti, da državna pomoč dejansko ima spodbujevalni učinek, je sorazmerna in ima omejen negativen učinek na konkurenco in trgovino.
Chapter 3 thus contains parameters in respect of the aided activity, aid intensities and conditions attached to compatibility.
Poglavje 3 torej vsebuje parametre v zvezi z dejavnostjo, ki prejema pomoč, intenzivnostjo pomoči in pogojev, ki so povezani z združljivostjo.
However, for aid amounts above certain thresholds as well as for certain specific situations, additional scrutiny is necessary, because of higher risks of distortion of competition and trade.
Za zneske pomoči, ki so nad določenim pragom, in za določene posebne primere pa je potreben dodaten pregled zaradi večjih tveganj izkrivljanja konkurence in trgovine.
The additional scrutiny will generally consist in further and more detailed factual analysis of the measure in accordance with Chapter 5.
Dodaten pregled bo navadno sestavljen iz dodatne in podrobnejše analize dejstev ukrepa v skladu s poglavjem 5.
These measures will be declared compatible if the balancing test pursuant to Chapter 5 results in an overall positive evaluation.
Ti ukrepi se bodo razglasili za združljive, če je ocena testa tehtanja na podlagi poglavja 5 na splošno pozitivna.
In the context of this analysis, no compatibility criteria will be presumed to be fulfilled at the outset.
V okviru te analize se ne domneva, da so na začetku izpolnjena merila združljivosti.
Tax exemptions and reductions from environmental taxes will be subject only to the assessment laid down in Chapter 4 [14].
Za opustitve dajatev in znižanja okoljskih dajatev bo veljala le ocena, določena v poglavju 4 [14].
As a result of this detailed assessment, the Authority may approve the aid, declare it incompatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement or take a compatibility decision subject to conditions.
Kot rezultat te podrobne ocene lahko Nadzorni organ odobri pomoč, jo razglasi za nezdružljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP ali na podlagi pogojev sprejme sklep o združljivosti.
Reasons for specific measures covered by these Guidelines
Razlogi za določene ukrepe, ki jih zajemajo te smernice
The Authority has identified a series of measures for which State aid may, under specific conditions, be compatible with Article 61(3)(c) of the EEA Agreement.
Nadzorni organ je opredelil vrsto ukrepov, v zvezi s katerimi je lahko državna pomoč v skladu s posebnimi pogoji združljiva s členom 61(3)(c) Sporazuma EGP.
This type of aid provides individual incentives to companies to achieve higher environmental protection.
Ta vrsta pomoči zagotavlja posamične spodbude podjetjem za doseganje višje stopnje varstva okolja.
Normally, an undertaking does not have an incentive to go beyond mandatory standards if the cost of doing so exceeds the benefit for the undertaking.
Podjetje ponavadi ni spodbujeno k preseganju obveznih standardov, če strošek takega početja presega korist, ki bi jo imelo.
In such cases State aid may be granted to give an incentive to undertakings to improve environmental protection.
V takih primerih je mogoče dodeliti državno pomoč za zagotovitev spodbude podjetjem za izboljšanje varstva okolja.
In accordance with the Community objective to support eco-innovation, more favourable treatment can be accepted for eco-innovation projects that address the double market failure linked to the higher risks of innovation, coupled with the environmental aspect of the project.
V skladu s ciljem Skupnosti za podporo ekološke inovativnosti je mogoče sprejeti ugodnejšo obravnavo za projekte ekološke inovativnosti, ki obravnavajo dvojno tržno nepopolnost, povezano z večjimi tveganji inovativnosti in okoljskimi vidiki projekta.
Aid for eco-innovation thus aims to accelerate the market diffusion of eco-innovations.
Cilj pomoči za ekološko inovativnost je tako pospešiti tržno razširjanje ekološke inovativnosti.
Transport is responsible for a large share of overall greenhouse gas emissions (approximately 30 %), as well as for local pollution by dust, particulates, NOx and SOx.
Promet je odgovoren za velik delež skupnih emisij toplogrednih plinov (približno 30 %) ter lokalno onesnaževanje s prahom, delci, NOx in SOx.
Hence, it is important to encourage clean modes of transport, both in order to fight global climate change and in order to reduce local pollution, in particular in cities.
Zato je pomembno spodbujati čiste vrste prevoza za boj proti globalnim podnebnim spremembam in za zmanjšanje lokalnega onesnaževanja, zlasti v mestih.
In this context, it is particularly important to encourage the acquisition of clean transport vehicles (including clean ships).
V tem okviru je še zlasti pomembno spodbujati nakup čistih prevoznih sredstev (vključno s čistimi ladjami).
These Guidelines do not authorise aid to assist undertakings to comply with Community standards already in force, because such aid would not lead to a higher level of environmental protection.
Te smernice ne dovoljujejo pomoči za pomoč podjetjem pri izpolnjevanju že veljavnih standardov Skupnosti, saj taka pomoč ne bi vodila do višje ravni varstva okolja.
However, State aid may ensure significantly quicker implementation of newly adopted Community standards which are not yet in force and thereby contribute to reducing pollution at a faster pace than would have been the case without the aid.
Toda državna pomoč lahko zagotovi bistveno hitrejše izvajanje na novo sprejetih standardov Skupnosti, ki še ne veljajo, in tako prispeva k hitrejšemu zmanjšanju onesnaževanja, kot če ne bi bilo pomoči.
In such situations, State aid may therefore create individual incentives for enterprises to counterbalance the effects of the negative externalities linked to pollution.
V takih razmerah lahko državna pomoč ustvari posamezne spodbude za podjetja za izravnavo posledic negativnih zunanjih učinkov, povezanih z onesnaževanjem.
Aid to companies for studies on investments aimed at achieving a level of environmental protection going beyond Community standards or increasing the level of environmental protection in the absence of Community standards, as well as studies on energy saving and production of renewable energy, addresses the market failure linked to asymmetric information.
Tržne nepopolnosti, povezane z nesimetričnimi informacijami, obravnava pomoč podjetjem za študije o naložbah, ki so namenjene doseganju stopnje varstva okolja, ki presega standarde Skupnosti ali ki izboljšujejo varstvo okolja v odsotnosti standardov Skupnosti, ter za študije o varčevanju z energijo in proizvodnji energije iz obnovljivih virov.
Often undertakings underestimate the possibilities and benefits related to energy saving and renewable energy, which leads to under-investment.
Podjetja pogosto podcenjujejo možnosti in koristi, povezane z varčevanjem z energijo in energijo iz obnovljivih virov, kar vodi v premajhne naložbe.
This type of aid addresses the market failure linked to negative externalities by creating individual incentives to attain environmental targets for energy saving and for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Ta vrsta pomoči obravnava tržne nepopolnosti, povezane z negativnimi zunanjimi učinki, z oblikovanjem posameznih spodbud za dosego okoljskih ciljev za varčevanje z energijo in zmanjšanje emisij toplogrednih plinov.
State aid may be appropriate where the investments resulting in energy savings are not compulsory pursuant to applicable Community standards and where they are not profitable, that is to say where the cost of energy saving is higher than the related private economic benefit.
Državna pomoč je lahko primerna, če naložbe, ki imajo za posledico prihranke energije, niso obvezne v skladu z veljavnimi standardi Skupnosti in če niso donosne, to je, če je strošek prihranka energije višji od s tem povezane zasebne gospodarske koristi.
In the case of small and medium-sized enterprises, more favourable support may be needed to take into account the fact that these enterprises often under-estimate the benefits related to energy savings over long periods, which leads to their under-investment in energy-saving measures.
V primeru malih in srednjih podjetij je lahko potrebna ugodnejša podpora, da se upošteva dejstvo, da ta podjetja pogosto podcenjujejo koristi, povezane s prihranki energije v dolgih obdobjih, in zato premalo vlagajo v ukrepe za varčevanje z energijo.
This type of aid addresses the market failure linked to negative externalities by creating individual incentives to increase the share of renewable sources of energy in total energy production.
Ta vrsta pomoči obravnava tržne nepopolnosti, povezane z negativnimi zunanjimi učinki, z oblikovanjem posameznih spodbud za povečanje deleža obnovljivih energetskih virov v celotni proizvodnji energije.
Increased use of renewable energy sources is expected to play an important role in meeting targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
Povečana uporaba obnovljivih energetskih virov bo po pričakovanjih imela pomembno vlogo pri doseganju ciljev za zmanjšanje emisij toplogrednih plinov.
State aid may be justified if the cost of production of renewable energy is higher than the cost of production based on less environmentally friendly sources and if there is no mandatory Community standard concerning the share of energy from renewable sources for individual undertakings.
Državna pomoč je lahko upravičena, če je strošek proizvodnje obnovljive energije višji od stroška proizvodnje, ki temelji na manj okolju prijaznih virih, in če ne obstaja obvezen standard Skupnosti glede deleža energije iz obnovljivih virov za posamezna podjetja.
The high cost of production of some types of renewable energy does not allow undertakings to charge competitive prices on the market and thus creates a market-access barrier for renewable energy.
Visok strošek proizvodnje nekaterih vrst obnovljive energije podjetjem ne omogoča zaračunavanja konkurenčnih cen na trgu, s čimer ustvarja oviro pri dostopu na trg za obnovljivo energijo.
However, due to technological developments in the field of renewable energy and to gradually increasing internalisation of environmental externalities (resulting, for example, from Directive 2008/1/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2008 concerning integrated pollution prevention and control [15], air quality legislation and the emissions trading scheme), the cost difference has shown a decreasing trend over the past years, thus reducing the need for aid.
Zaradi tehnološkega razvoja na področju obnovljive energije in postopne vedno večje internalizacije okoljskih zunanjih učinkov (kar je na primer posledica Direktive 2008/1/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 15. januarja 2008 o celovitem preprečevanju in nadzorovanju onesnaževanja [15], zakonodaje o kakovosti zraka in sistema trgovanja z emisijami) pa stroškovna razlika v zadnjih letih kaže trend zmanjševanja, kar zmanjšuje potrebo po pomoči.
In addition, biofuel promotion [16] should benefit both security of supply and climate change policy in a sustainable way.
Poleg tega morata imeti od spodbujanja biogoriv [16] korist varnost oskrbe in politika na področju podnebnih sprememb, in sicer na trajnosten način.
Therefore, State aid may be an appropriate instrument only for those uses of renewable energy sources where the environmental benefit and sustainability is evident.
Zato je državna pomoč lahko ustrezen instrument samo za tiste primere uporabe virov obnovljive energije, pri katerih sta korist za okolje in okoljska trajnost vidna.
More particularly, biofuels not fulfilling the sustainability criteria set out in Article 15 of the proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and the Council on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources [17] will not be considered eligible for State aid.
Natančneje, biogoriva, ki ne izpolnjujejo meril trajnosti, določenih v členu 15 predloga Direktive Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta o spodbujanju uporabe energije iz obnovljivih virov [17], se ne bodo štela za upravičena do državne pomoči.
When designing their support systems, EFTA States may encourage the use of biofuels which give additional benefits — including the benefits of diversification offered by biofuels made from wastes, residues, cellulosic and ligno-cellulosic material — by taking due account of the different costs of producing energy from traditional biofuels, on the one hand, and of those biofuels which give additional benefits, on the other hand.
Države Efte lahko pri oblikovanju svojih podpornih sistemov spodbujajo uporabo biogoriv, ki prinašajo dodatne koristi – vključno s koristmi diverzifikacije, ki jo nudijo biogoriva iz odpadkov, ostankov, celuloznega in lignoceluloznega materiala – tako da na eni strani ustrezno upoštevajo različne stroške proizvodnje energije iz tradicionalnih biogoriv in na drugi strani tista biogoriva, ki imajo dodatne prednosti.
With regard to hydropower installations it should be noted that their environmental impact can be twofold.
V zvezi z obrati vodne energije je treba opozoriti, da je njihov okoljski vpliv lahko dvojen.
On the other hand, such installations might also have a negative impact, for example on water systems and biodiversity [18].
Po drugi strani imajo lahko ti obrati tudi negativen vpliv, na primer na vodne sisteme in biotsko raznovrstnost [18].
Aid for cogeneration and aid for district heating (DH)
Pomoč za soproizvodnjo in pomoč za daljinsko ogrevanje
These types of aid address market failure linked to negative externalities by creating individual incentives to meet environmental targets in the field of energy savings.
Ti vrsti pomoči obravnavata tržne nepopolnosti, povezane z negativnimi zunanjimi učinki, z oblikovanjem posameznih spodbud za izpolnitev okoljskih ciljev na področju varčevanja z energijo.
Cogeneration of heat and electricity (CHP) is the most efficient way of producing electricity and heat simultaneously.
Soproizvodnja toplote in električne energije (v nadaljnjem besedilu: SPTE) je najučinkovitejši način hkratnega proizvajanja električne energije in toplote.
By producing both electricity and heat together, less energy is wasted in production.
S soproizvodnjo električne energije in toplote se pri proizvodnji izgubi manj energije.
The importance of CHP for the EU energy strategy has been underlined by the adoption of Directive 2004/8/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004 on the promotion of cogeneration based on a useful heat demand in the internal energy market and amending Directive 92/42/EEC [19].
Pomen SPTE za energetsko strategijo EU je bil poudarjen s sprejetjem Direktive 2004/8/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 11. februarja 2004 o spodbujanju soproizvodnje, ki temelji na rabi koristne toplote, na notranjem trgu z energijo in o spremembi Direktive 92/42/EGS [19].
Reference may also be made to a chapter on cogeneration in the European Commission Action Plan for Energy Efficiency: Realising the Potential [20].
Sklicevati se je mogoče tudi na poglavje o soproizvodnji v Akcijskem načrtu za energetsko učinkovitost: uresničitev možnosti [20] Evropske komisije.
The latter document points to the potential of waste heat, for example from industry or utilities, for useful applications, for example in district heating (hereafter “DH”).
Slednji dokument opozarja tudi na potencial odpadne toplote, na primer iz industrije ali javnih služb, za koristno uporabo, na primer za daljinsko ogrevanje.
Further, DH may be more energy-efficient than individual heating and may provide a significant improvement in urban air quality.
Poleg tega je lahko daljinsko ogrevanje energetsko učinkovitejše kot individualno ogrevanje in lahko zagotavlja bistveno izboljšanje kakovosti zraka v mestih.
Therefore, provided that DH is shown to be less polluting and more energy efficient in the generation process and the distribution of the heat, but more costly than individual heating, State aid can be granted with a view to giving incentives to attain environmental targets.
Zato je mogoče dodeliti državno pomoč za zagotovitev spodbud za dosego okoljskih ciljev, če se dokaže, da daljinsko ogrevanje manj onesnažuje ter da je v proizvodnem procesu in distribuciji toplote energetsko učinkovitejše, vendar dražje od individualnega ogrevanja.
However, as in the case of renewable energies, the progressive internalisation of environmental externalities in the costs of other technologies can be expected to reduce the need for aid by bringing about a gradual convergence of these costs with those of CHP and DH.
Kot v primeru obnovljive energije pa je mogoče pričakovati, da bo postopna internalizacija okoljskih zunanjih učinkov v stroške drugih tehnologij zmanjšala potrebo po pomoči s postopno konvergenco teh stroškov s stroški SPTE in daljinskega ogrevanja.
This type of aid aims to give individual incentives to reach environmental targets linked to waste management [21].
Ta vrsta pomoči je namenjena zagotavljanju posameznih spodbud za dosego okoljskih ciljev, povezanih z ravnanjem z odpadki [21].
The Sixth Environment Action Programme [22] identifies waste prevention and management as one of the four top priorities.
Šesti okoljski akcijski program [22] opredeljuje preprečevanje nastajanja odpadkov in ravnanje z njimi kot eno izmed štirih glavnih prednostnih nalog.
Its primary objective is to separate waste generation from economic activity, so that EU growth will not lead to more and more waste.
Njegov glavni cilj je ločiti nastajanje odpadkov od gospodarske dejavnosti, da rast EU ne po pripeljala do nastanka še več odpadkov.
In this context, State aid may be granted to the producer of the waste (under section 3.1.1) as well as to undertakings managing or recycling waste created by other undertakings (under section 3.1.9).
V tem okviru je mogoče državno pomoč dodeliti proizvajalcu odpadkov (oddelek 3.1.1) in podjetjem, ki ravnajo z odpadki ali reciklirajo odpadke, ki jih proizvajajo druga podjetja (oddelek 3.1.9).
However, the positive effects on the environment must be ensured, the PPP must not be circumvented and the normal functioning of secondary materials markets should not be distorted.
Vendar pa morajo biti zagotovljeni pozitivni vplivi na okolje, upoštevati je treba načelo ‚onesnaževalec plača‘ in ne sme se izkrivljati običajno delovanje trgov s sekundarnimi materiali.
This type of aid is intended to create an individual incentive to counterbalance the effects of negative externalities, where it is not possible to identify the polluter and make it pay for repairing the environmental damage it has caused.
Ta vrsta pomoči je namenjena oblikovanju posameznih spodbud za izenačitev posledic negativnih zunanjih učinkov, če ni mogoče določiti onesnaževalca in mu naložiti plačila za popravilo okoljske škode, ki jo je povzročil.
In such cases, State aid may be justified if the cost of remediation is higher than the resulting increase in the value of the site.
V takih primerih je državna pomoč lahko upravičena, če je strošek sanacije višji od posledičnega povečanja vrednosti območja.
Aid for the relocation of undertakings
Pomoč za preselitev podjetij
