Sandefjord Fotball AS, a limited-liability company, operates the professional (‘Elite’) team [1].
V okviru Sandefjord Fotball AS, družbe z omejeno odgovornostjo, deluje profesionalna (v nadaljnjem besedilu: prva ekipa) [1].
The cooperation between Sandefjord Fotball club and Sandefjord Fotball AS is based on the requirements of the Norwegian Football Association.
Sodelovanje med klubom Sandefjord Fotball in družbo Sandefjord Fotball AS temelji na zahtevah norveške nogometne zveze.
The club further operates an amateur team and a junior football team.
V okviru kluba delujeta tudi amaterska ekipa in mladinska nogometna ekipa.
It also runs football summer schools and organises regional football competitions for young amateur players
Klub organizira tudi poletne nogometne šole in regionalna nogometna tekmovanja za mlade amaterske igralce.
Until 2007, Sandefjord Fotball's Elite team used the municipally owned stadium in Bugårdsparken for training purposes and matches.
Do leta 2007 je prva ekipa kluba Sandefjord Fotball za vadbo in tekme uporabljala stadion v lasti občine v Bugårdsparkenu.
However, this stadium did not comply with the requirements of the Norwegian football federation for clubs playing in the highest division.
Vendar ta stadion ni bil v skladu z zahtevami norveške nogometne zveze za klube, ki igrajo v najvišji ligi.
An upgrade of the existing stadium was estimated to cost around NOK 40 million, which the municipality of Sandefjord was unwilling to invest.
Ocenjeno je bilo, da naj bi nadgradnja obstoječega stadiona stala približno 40 milijonov NOK, ki jih občina Sandefjord ni bila pripravljena vložiti.
The construction of the new stadium
Gradnja novega stadiona
In 2005, the municipality of Sandefjord and Sandefjord Fotball AS discussed the possibility of constructing a new stadium.
Leta 2005 je med občino Sandefjord in družbo Sandefjord Fotball AS potekala razprava o možnosti izgradnje novega stadiona.
The municipality agreed to provide the necessary land, and Sandefjord Fotball AS to finance and run the stadium.
Občina se je strinjala, da bo zagotovila potrebno zemljišče, družba Sandefjord Fotball AS pa naj bi financirala in upravljala stadion.
The municipality acquired several plots of land in the Pindsle area for a total of around NOK 3,7 million.
Občina je pridobila več zemljiških parcel v območju Pindsle v skupni vrednosti približno 3,7 milijonov NOK.
The land was regulated as farmland at the time.
Zemljišče je bilo v tistem času kmetijska parcela.
The municipality's decision of 6 September 2005 authorising the acquisition foresaw the land to be rezoned for business use and to require the construction of a stadium.
V odločbi občine z dne 6. septembra 2005 o dovoljenju za pridobitev je bilo predvideno, da se namembnost zemljišča spremeni v zemljišče za poslovno uporabo in odredi gradnja stadiona.
In the new zoning plan, the land was split into two parts: plot 152/96 was zoned for mixed stadium and business use, and plot 152/97 for business use.
V novem prostorskem načrtu je bilo zemljišče razdeljeno na dva dela: zemljiška parcela št. 152/96 je bila določena za večnamenski stadion in za poslovno uporabo, parcela št. 152/97 pa za poslovno uporabo.
By way of an agreement dated 28 November 2006, both plots of land were then transferred to two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sandefjord Fotball AS: plot 152/96 to Sandefjord Fotball Stadion AS and plot 152/97 to Sandefjord Fotball Næring AS.
S sporazumom z dne 28. novembra 2006 sta bili obe zemljiški parceli preneseni na dve hčerinski družbi v popolni lasti družbe Sandefjord Fotball AS: zemljiška parcela št. 152/96 je prešla v last Sandefjord Fotball Stadion AS, zemljiška parcela št. 152/97 pa v last Sandefjord Fotball Næring AS.
According to the agreement, Sandefjord Fotball AS was responsible for organising the necessary financing to build the stadium.
V skladu s sporazumom je družba Sandefjord Fotball AS prevzela financiranje izgradnje stadiona.
The construction costs were estimated at NOK 110 million for the project.
Stroški gradnje so bili ocenjeni na 110 milijonov NOK.
Sandefjord Fotball AS would contribute NOK 70 million from its own funds and from outside investors, the sale of naming rights, etc., and take out a loan for the remaining NOK 40 million.
Družba Sandefjord Fotball AS naj bi prispevala 70 milijonov NOK iz lastnih sredstev in od zunanjih vlagateljev, iz prodaje imenskih pravic itd. ter vzela posojilo za preostalih 40 milijonov NOK.
The contribution of Sandefjord Fotball AS would partly be raised by the sale of the land zoned for business use (plot 152/97) to Pindsle Property AS.
Sandefjord Fotball AS bi prispevek delno poravnala s prodajo zemljišča, namenjenega poslovni uporabi (zemljiška parcela št. 152/97), družbi Pindsle Property AS.
Besides the construction of the stadium, the agreement contained a number of further obligations.
Sporazum je poleg izgradnje stadiona vključeval tudi več dodatnih obveznosti.
In particular, Sandefjord Fotball AS agreed to carry out road works at the stadium site and to cover costs in relation to the discontinued use of the old stadium, including repairs.
Družba Sandefjord Fotball AS se je strinjala, da bo uredila ceste na območju stadiona in krila stroške zaradi neuporabe starega stadiona, vključno s popravili.
Shortly after the signing of the agreement, the shares in Sandefjord Fotball Næring AS, which owned plot 152/97, were acquired by Pindsle Property AS for NOK 40 million.
Kmalu po podpisu sporazuma je družba Pindsle Property AS pridobila delnice v družbi Sandefjord Fotball Næring AS, ki je imela v lasti zemljiško parcelo št. 152/97, v vrednosti 40 milijonov NOK.
No valuation of the company was undertaken prior to the sale.
Pred prodajo družba ni bila vrednotena.
The new stadium was completed in July 2007 at a total construction cost of NOK 110 million [2].
Novi stadion je bil dokončan julija 2007, skupni stroški gradnje pa so znašali 110 milijonov NOK [2].
In addition to the football pitch and stands, it contains a number of other facilities, including an athletics track, a fitness centre and meeting rooms.
Poleg nogometnega igrišča in tribun vsebuje tudi več drugih objektov, vključno z atletsko stezo, centrom za fitnes in sejnimi sobami.
These are rented out free of charge to other (mainly amateur sport) organisations.
Ti objekti se brezplačno oddajajo drugim (večinoma amaterskim športnim) organizacijam.
Subsequent sale of the stadium
Nadaljnja prodaja stadiona
In 2009, Sandefjord Fotball AS encountered financial difficulties.
Leta 2009 se je družba Sandefjord Fotball AS znašla v finančnih težavah.
The club decided to raise funds by selling Sandefjord Fotball Stadion AS (the company owning the stadium and adjacent properties on plot 152/96) to Pindsle Property AS.
Družba se je odločila zbrati sredstva s prodajo družbe Sandefjord Fotball Stadion AS (ki je imela v lasti stadion in sosednje nepremičnine na zemljiški parceli št. 152/96) družbi Pindsle Property AS.
This time, a third-party company valuation was required under Norwegian law as several individuals held board positions and shareholdings in both the company and Pindsle Property AS.
V skladu z norveško zakonodajo je morala v tem primeru vrednotenje družbe opraviti tretja oseba, saj je več posameznikov hkrati bilo tako član upravnega odbora kot delničar obeh družb, Sandefjord Fotball AS in Pindsle Property AS.
The expert report of 6 April 2009 valued Sandefjord Fotball Stadion AS at between NOK 14 million and NOK 16 million.
V strokovnem poročilu z dne 6. aprila 2009 je bila vrednost družbe Sandefjord Fotball Stadion AS ocenjena med 14 in 16 milijonov NOK.
The company was sold at a price of NOK 15 million on 9 June 2009.
Družba je bila 9. junija 2009 prodana za 15 milijonov NOK.
The opening decision
Odločba o začetku postopka
On 22 October 2014, the Authority issued its Decision No 444/14/COL opening the formal investigation procedure into aid in favour of Sandefjord Fotball AS.
Nadzorni organ je 22. oktobra 2014 izdal Odločbo št. 444/14/COL o začetku formalnega postopka preiskave v korist družbe Sandefjord Fotball AS.
In its decision, the Authority came to the preliminary conclusion that the transfer of land to Sandefjord Fotball AS constituted State aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.
V tej odločbi je nadzorni organ sprejel predhodno ugotovitev, da je prenos zemljišča na Sandefjord Fotball AS pomenil državno pomoč v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP.
In particular, the Authority considered that the transfer took place at below market value both for plot 152/96 (zoned for mixed stadium and business use) and plot 152/97 (zoned for business use).
Nadzorni organ je zlasti menil, da je bil prenos izveden pod tržno vrednostjo tako za zemljiško parcelo št. 152/96 (namenjeno večnamenskemu stadionu in poslovni uporabi) kot za zemljiško parcelo št. 152/97 (namenjeno poslovni uporabi).
As no arguments regarding the compatibility assessment had been put forward by the Norwegian authorities, the Authority had doubts whether the measure could be declared compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement.
Ker norveški organi niso predložili nobenih argumentov v zvezi z oceno združljivosti, je nadzorni organ podvomil, ali se ukrep lahko razglasi za združljivega z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP
The Norwegian authorities provided comments on the opening decision by way of a letter dated 23 December 2014 (Documents No 733899-733901).
Norveški organi so pripombe na odločbo o začetku postopka predložili v dopisu z dne 23. decembra 2014 (dokumenti od št. 733899 do št. 733901).
The transaction does not involve State aid
Transakcija ne vključuje državne pomoči
In their comments, the Norwegian authorities argue that the transfer of land from Sandefjord municipality to Sandefjord Fotball AS did not amount to State aid, as there was no advantage conferred on the alleged beneficiary.
Norveški organi v svojih pripombah trdijo, da prenos zemljišča z občine Sandefjord na družbo Sandefjord Fotball AS ne pomeni državne pomoči, saj domnevna upravičenka ni imela nobenih ugodnosti.
The main reason for the alleged negative value of the land is that Sandefjord Fotball AS was obliged (by the terms of the transfer of land as well as under the zoning rules) to construct a football stadium as part of the transaction, and that the cost of the stadium construction exceeded the value of the land.
Vsak znesek pomoči bi bil zelo omejen
According to the Norwegian authorities, the obligation to construct a stadium could validly be imposed as a ‘special obligation’ in line with point 2.2(c) of Part V of the Authority's Guidelines on State aid elements in sales of land and buildings by public authorities (‘Sale of Land Guidelines’) [3].
Norveški organi v zvezi z zneskom domnevne državne pomoči trdijo, da bi bila tudi, če bi nadzorni organ ugotovil, da je imelo zadevno zemljišče pozitivno tržno vrednost, ta vrednost nizka.
Any aid amount would be very limited
Norveški organi pojasnjujejo, da so kmetijska zemljišča na Norveškem pod posebno zaščito.
Concerning the amount of the alleged State aid, the Norwegian authorities argue that in the event the Authority were to find that the land at issue had a positive market value, this value would be very limited.
Njihova prodaja in/ali sprememba namembnosti je pod strogim nadzorom regionalnih kmetijskih odborov.
The Norwegian authorities explain that agricultural land enjoys a special protection in Norway.
V primeru zadevnega zemljišča je pristojni kmetijski odbor sprejel predlog za spremembo namembnosti zemljišča samo na podlagi cilja v javnem interesu, da se zgradi stadion.
Its sale and/or a change of use for other purposes are subject to strict controls by regional agricultural boards.
Izvajalec projekta ne bi mogel pridobiti zemljišča, ki bi bilo namenjeno izključno poslovni uporabi.
In the case of the land at issue, the competent agricultural board only accepted the zoning proposal based on the public interest objective of building a stadium.
Načelo vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu se pri prenosu zemljišča torej ne more uporabljati.
It would not have been possible for a developer to acquire the land for pure business use.
Norveški organi zato menijo, da bi moralo tržno vrednotenje temeljiti na cenah kmetijskih zemljišč, saj je bila taka uporaba zemljišča edina realna alternativa.
Therefore, the market investor principle cannot be applied to the transfer of land.
Nasprotno pa norveški organi glede vrednosti zemljišča, namenjenega poslovni uporabi (zemljiška parcela št. 152/97), trdijo, da je Pindsle Property AS, družba, ki je kupila Sandefjord Fotball Næring AS za 40 milijonov NOK, plačala višjo ceno od tržne.
Instead, the Norwegian authorities consider that any market valuation should be based on the price of agricultural land, which was the only realistic alternative use.
To so podprli s sklicevanjem na poročilo o vrednotenju (Priloga 11 k dokumentu št. 699518), v katerem je bilo ugotovljeno, da je tržna vrednost zemljiške parcele št. 152/97 znašala približno 15 milijonov NOK [4].
In the alternative, regarding the value of the land zoned for business use (plot 152/97) the Norwegian authorities argue that Pindsle Property AS, the company that acquired Sandefjord Fotball Næring AS for NOK 40 million, paid more than market price.
Vrednotenje temelji na povprečni ceni za zemljišče, ki je bilo v času transakcije v območju Pindsle namenjeno poslovni uporabi.
In support of this argument, they refer to the valuation report (Annex 11 of Document No 699518), which concluded that plot 152/97 had a market value of about NOK 15 million [4].
Poleg tega norveški organi trdijo, da je treba pri izračunu zneska pomoči v vsakem primeru izvesti številne odbitke.
The valuation is based on the average price of land zoned for business use in the Pindsle area at the time of the transaction.
Ti odbitki so posledica nekaterih obveznosti družbe Sandefjord Fotball AS v korist občine v skladu s sporazumom z dne 28. novembra 2006: (i) 2,6 milijona NOK za prenovo starega stadiona; (ii) 400000 NOK za zamenjavo reflektorjev na starem stadionu; (iii) 1,5 milijona NOK za izgradnjo javne pešpoti; in (iv) 5 milijonov NOK za izgradnjo krožišča ter prehoda za pešce.
Furthermore, the Norwegian authorities argue that in any event, a number of deductions have to be made to calculate the aid amount.
Ta sporazum je torej predvidel, da bo družba Sandefjord Fotball AS za zagotovitev storitev občini imela stroške v višini 9,5 milijona NOK (po takratnih ocenah) [5].
These deductions result from certain obligations Sandefjord Fotball AS assumed for the benefit of the municipality under the agreement dated 28 November 2006: (i) NOK 2,6 million for the renovation of the old stadium; (ii) NOK 400000 for the replacement of floodlights in the old stadium; (iii) NOK 1,5 million for the construction of a public walkway; and (iv) NOK 5 million for the construction of a roundabout and a pedestrian crossing.
Vsako morebitno državno pomoč bi bilo treba razglasiti za združljivo
In total, the agreement thus foresaw that Sandefjord Fotball AS had to incur costs amounting to NOK 9,5 million (as estimated at the time) in order to provide services for the municipality [5].
Norveški organi trdijo, da bi bilo treba v primeru, da bi nadzorni organ v sporni transakciji ugotovil element državne pomoči, tako pomoč razglasiti za združljivo z delovanjem sporazuma EGP na podlagi člena 61(3)(c) sporazuma EGP.
Any potential State aid should be declared compatible
Norveški organi poudarjajo, da je spodbujanje športa, vključno z gradnjo športne infrastrukture, cilj skupnega interesa.
The Norwegian authorities argue that in the event the Authority found a State aid element in the transaction at issue, any such aid should be declared compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement under its Article 61(3)(c).
Poleg tega trdijo, da je državna pomoč nujen in ustrezen instrument v tem primeru.
The Norwegian authorities highlight that the promotion of sport, including the construction of sport infrastructure, constitutes an objective of common interest.
Norveški organi zlasti pojasnjujejo, da je bil v Sandefjordu nov stadion potreben.
They further argue that State aid is necessary and an appropriate instrument in the present case.
Poudarjajo visoko zasedenost obstoječega občinskega stadiona, ki so ga v tistem času uporabljali klub Sandefjord Fotball in druge ekipe.
In particular, the Norwegian authorities explain that there was a need for a new stadium in Sandefjord.
Poleg tega je prva ekipa kluba Sandefjord Fotball (ki je delovala na podlagi začasne izjeme) potrebovala sodobnejši stadion, da bi lahko izpolnjevala zahteve za izdajo dovoljenja norveške nogometne zveze, ki bi ji omogočilo, da se obdrži v najvišji norveški ligi.
They point to the high usage pressure on the existing municipal stadium, which was used by Sandefjord Fotball and other teams at the time.
Občina Sandefjord je preučila možnosti za nadgradnjo obstoječega stadiona, ki pa ne bi povečala njegovih kapacitet.
Furthermore, a more modern stadium was required to meet the licensing requirements of the Norwegian Football Association to allow Sandefjord Fotball's Elite team — which had been operating under a temporary exemption — to remain in the highest Norwegian league.
Gradnja novega stadiona bi po drugi strani rešila težave s kapacitetami in pridobivanjem licence, poleg tega bi bilo s tem zagotovljeno nogometno središče za celotni okraj Vestfold.
Sandefjord municipality examined the option of upgrading the existing stadium, which would, however, not have addressed the lack of capacity.
Kot je razvidno iz spodnje preglednice, novi stadion uporabljajo različni klubi.
In contrast, building a new stadium would solve both the capacity and the licensing problems, and in addition create a venue for football across the county of Vestfold.
Poleg tega je bil stari občinski stadion prenovljen (prenovo je financirala družba Sandefjord Fotball AS) in ga v celoti uporabljajo lokalni športni klubi (atletski in nogometni), šole in splošna javnost.
As can be seen from the table below, the new stadium is used by a variety of clubs.
To nadalje kaže, da je bila izgradnja novega stadiona v Sandefjordu nujna in da je državna pomoč primerna.
Furthermore, the old municipal stadium has been renovated (financed by Sandefjord Fotball AS) and is fully utilised today by local sports clubs (athletics and football), schools and the general public.
Poleg tega bi za nadgradnjo obstoječega stadiona občina morala vložiti približno 40 milijonov NOK, brez možnosti pridobitve sredstev iz zasebnih virov.
This further shows that there was a need for a new stadium in Sandefjord and that any state support was appropriate.
Norveški organi tudi trdijo, da bi bila vsakršna pomoč sorazmerna.
Furthermore, upgrading the existing stadium would have required an investment of around NOK 40 million by the municipality, without any prospect of attracting private funds.
Predvsem poudarjajo, da je večino naložbenih stroškov za novi stadion krila družba Sandefjord Fotball AS, ki je najvišji možni znesek stroškov za izgradnjo prispevala iz lastnih sredstev in bančnih posojil.
The Norwegian authorities also argue that any aid would be proportionate.
Ta lastni prispevek je zagotovil, da je bil znesek finančne pomoči čim možen.
First of all, they point to the fact that most of the investment costs for the new stadium were financed by Sandefjord Fotball AS, which contributed the maximum amount possible to the construction costs from its own resources and bank loans.
Norveški organi poudarjajo tudi negospodarske družabne in amaterske športne dejavnosti, ki jih je omogočila izgradnja stadiona.
This own contribution ensured that the aid amount was kept to the minimum.
Obstoječi občinski stadion je zdaj v celoti na voljo za amaterske športe.
The Norwegian authorities also highlight the non-economic social and amateur sport activities that have been made possible by the stadium construction.
Poleg tega se na novem stadionu redno izvajajo številne amaterske športne in družabne dejavnosti, vključno s šolskimi prireditvami.
The existing municipal stadium is now fully available for amateur sports.
Za ponazoritev tega dejstva so norveški organi predložili naslednjo razpredelnico, ki povzema letno zasedenost stadiona s strani različnih uporabnikov za obdobje od leta 2007 do 2014:
In addition, a number of amateur sport and social activities, including school events, are performed on a regular basis in the new stadium.

Med poletnimi, jesenskimi in velikonočnimi počitnicami se na nogometnem igrišču izvaja šola nogometa za otroke od 6 do 12 leta starosti.
The administration of the club uses the premises for courses and conferences.
Amaterski turnirji (prvenstva za podjetja).
Football school during summer, fall and Easter break age 6-12 on the football field.
Poleg tega med tednom več okoliških šol in atletskih klubov uporablja atletsko stezo.
Amateur tournaments ‘Company cups’
Na stadionu se izvajajo tudi dnevi dejavnosti, ki jih organizirajo šole.
In addition, nearby schools and several athletic clubs use the athletics track during weekdays.
Stadion se torej več kot 50-odstotno uporablja za neprofesionalne namene.
There are also school-organised activity days taking place in the stadium.
Glavna omejitev za dodatno povečanje uporabe stadiona v neprofesionalne namene je odpornost igrišča z naravno travo [7].
The non-professional use of the stadium thus accounts for more than 50 %.
Profesionalna ekipa lahko prednostno uporablja stadion, tako da rezervira igrišče za domače tekme in ima prednostni dostop za treninge.
The main limitation on a further increase in non-professional use is the resiliency of the natural grass pitch [7].
Notranje prostore (npr. prostore z omaricami in pisarne) lahko vse organizacije uporabljajo vse leto.
The professional team is granted preferential access to the stadium by reservation of the football field for home matches and preferential access to the football field for training.
Kot je razvidno iz zgornje tabele, večina neprofesionalnih uporabnikov stadiona ne plačuje najemnine.
The indoor premises (e.g. the locker rooms and the office premises) can be used all year round by any organisation.
Prva ekipa po drugi strani plačuje letno najemnino v višini 3 milijonov NOK in dodatnih 20 % od prodaje vstopnic.
