With regard to small and medium-sized enterprises which may be faced, on the one hand, with relatively higher costs to achieve environmental or energy objectives compared to the size of their activity and, on the other hand, with capital market imperfections which force them to bear such costs, higher aid intensities may also be warranted, as the risk of serious distortions of competition and trade is reduced when the beneficiary is a small or medium-sized enterprise;
ekoinovativno sredstvo ali projekt mora biti nov ali bistveno izboljšan v primerjavi z najsodobnejšimi v svojem sektorju v EGP [44];
higher aid intensities may be justified under certain conditions in case of eco-innovation which can address a double market failure linked to the higher risks of innovation, coupled with the environmental aspect of the project.
pričakovana okoljska korist mora biti bistveno večja od izboljšanja, ki je posledica splošnega razvoja najsodobnejših postopkov v primerljivih dejavnostih [45], in
That applies in particular to resource efficiency measures.
inovativna narava sredstev ali projektov vsebuje jasno stopnjo tveganja v tehnološkem, tržnem ali finančnem smislu, ki je višja od tveganja, ki se običajno povezuje s primerljivimi neinovativnimi sredstvi ali projekti [46].
The aid intensity may be increased by 10 percentage points, provided that following cumulative conditions are fulfilled:
Zato bo Nadzorni organ pomoč štel za združljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP, če so upravičeni stroški pravilno izračunani in so upoštevane največje intenzivnosti pomoči iz Priloge 1.
the eco-innovation asset or project must be new or substantially improved compared to the state of the art in its industry in the EEA [44];
Kadar je pomoč upravičencu dodeljena v konkurenčnem postopku zbiranja ponudb na podlagi jasnih, preglednih in nediskriminatornih meril, lahko znesek pomoči doseže 100 % upravičenih stroškov [47].
the expected environmental benefit must be significantly higher than the improvement resulting from the general evolution of the state of the art in comparable activities [45]; and
Tak postopek zbiranja ponudb mora potekati brez diskriminacije in omogočati sodelovanje zadostnega števila podjetij.
the innovative character of the assets or projects involves a clear degree of risk, in technological, market or financial terms, which is higher than the risk generally associated with comparable non-innovative assets or projects [46].
Poleg tega mora biti proračun v zvezi s postopkom zbiranja ponudb omejen v smislu, da vsi upravičenci ne morejo prejeti pomoči.
Therefore, the Authority will consider aid to be compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement if the eligible costs are correctly calculated and the maximum aid intensities set out in Annex 1 are respected.
Končno, pomoč mora biti dodeljena na podlagi prve ponudbe, ki jo predloži ponudnik, s čimer se preprečijo nadaljnja pogajanja.
Where aid to the beneficiary is granted in a competitive bidding process on the basis of clear, transparent and non-discriminatory criteria, the aid amount may reach 100 % of the eligible costs [47].
Kumulacija pomoči
Such a bidding process must be non-discriminatory and provide for the participation of a sufficient number of undertakings.
Pomoč se lahko dodeli hkrati na podlagi več shem pomoči ali kumulira z ad hoc pomočjo, če skupni znesek državne pomoči za posamezno dejavnost ali projekt ne presega zgornjih meja, določenih na podlagi pragov pomoči iz teh smernic.
In addition, the budget related to the bidding process must be a binding constraint in the sense that not all participants can receive aid.
Pomoč se ne sme kumulirati s pomočjo de minimis v zvezi z istimi upravičenimi stroški, če bi taka kumulacija povzročila intenzivnost pomoči, ki presega intenzivnost iz teh smernic.
Finally, the aid must be granted on the basis of the initial bid submitted by the bidder, therefore excluding subsequent negotiations.
Dodatni pogoji za pomoč za naložbe in pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, ki jo je treba priglasiti posamično
Cumulation of aid
Pri individualni pomoči skladnost z največjimi intenzivnostmi pomoči, določenimi v tem oddelku in Prilogi 1, ne zadostuje za zagotavljanje sorazmernosti.
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 limits fixed by the aid ceilings laid down in these Guidelines.
Zadevne največje intenzivnosti pomoči se uporabljajo kot zgornja meja za individualno pomoč [48].
Aid is not to be cumulated with de minimis aid in respect of the same eligible costs if such cumulation would result in an aid intensity exceeding that laid down in these Guidelines.
Splošno pravilo je, da se pomoč, ki jo je treba priglasiti posamično, šteje za omejeno na najmanjšo potrebno, če znesek pomoči ustreza neto dodatnim stroškom naložbe, za katero se prejme pomoč, glede na obratni hipotetični scenarij brez pomoči.
Additional conditions for individually notifiable investment and operating aid
Vse ustrezne stroške in koristi je treba upoštevati v celotnem obdobju trajanja projekta.
For individual aid, compliance with the maximum aid intensities set out in this section and in Annex 1, is not sufficient to ensure proportionality.
Če nobenega posebnega nadomestnega projekta ni mogoče opredeliti kot obratni hipotetični scenarij, bo Nadzorni organ preveril, ali znesek pomoči presega najmanjšega potrebnega, da bi bil projekt, za katerega se prejme pomoč, dovolj donosen, na primer, ali se s pomočjo poveča njegova notranja stopnja donosa nad običajnimi stopnjami donosa, ki jih uporablja zadevno podjetje v drugih podobnih naložbenih projektih.
These maximum aid intensities are used as a cap for individual aid [48].
Kadar to merilo uspešnosti ni na voljo, se lahko za ta namen uporabijo stroški kapitala podjetja kot celote ali stopnje donosa, ki so običajne v zadevnem sektorju.
As a general rule, individually notifiable aid will be considered to be limited to the minimum if the aid amount corresponds to the net extra costs of the aided investment, compared to the counterfactual scenario in the absence of aid.
Pogodbenica mora zagotoviti dokaze, da je znesek pomoči omejen na najmanjši potreben.
All relevant costs and benefits must be taken into account over the lifetime of the project.
Izračuni, ki se uporabljajo za analizo spodbujevalnega učinka, se lahko uporabljajo tudi pri ocenjevanju, ali je pomoč sorazmerna.
If no specific alternative project can be identified as a counterfactual scenario, the Authority will verify whether the aid amount exceeds the minimum necessary to make the aided project sufficiently profitable, for instance whether it increases its IRR beyond the normal rates of return applied by the undertaking concerned in other investment projects of a similar kind.
Pogodbenica mora dokazati sorazmernost na podlagi dokumentacije iz odstavka 58.
When that benchmark is not available, the cost of capital of the company as a whole or rates of return commonly observed in the industry concerned may be used for that purpose.
Kar zadeva pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, dodeljeno na podlagi konkurenčnega postopka zbiranja ponudb, se šteje, da je individualna pomoč sorazmerna, če so izpolnjeni splošni pogoji.
The Contracting Party should provide evidence that the aid amount is kept to the minimum.
Izogibanje neupravičenim negativnim učinkom na konkurenco in trgovino
Calculations used for the analysis of the incentive effect can also be used to assess whether the aid is proportionate.
Splošne ugotovitve
The Contracting Party must demonstrate the proportionality on the basis of the documentation referred to in paragraph 58.
Da je pomoč združljiva z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP, morajo biti negativni učinki ukrepa pomoči v smislu izkrivljanja konkurence in vpliva na trgovino med pogodbenicami omejeni in manjši od pozitivnih učinkov v smislu prispevka k cilju skupnega interesa.
For operating aid granted by way of a competitive bidding process, the proportionality of individual aid is presumed to be met if the general conditions are fulfilled.
Nadzorni organ opredeljuje dve glavni vrsti morebitnega izkrivljanja, ki ga lahko povzroči pomoč, in sicer izkrivljanje proizvodnih trgov ter učinke na lokacijo.
Avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade
Obe vrsti lahko povzročita neučinkovito alokacijo, ki ovira gospodarsko uspešnost notranjega trga, in težave v zvezi z distribucijo, ki vplivajo na distribucijo gospodarskih dejavnosti po regijah.
General considerations
Pomoč za okoljske namene po svoji naravi daje prednost okolju prijaznim proizvodom in tehnologijam na račun drugih, ki bolj onesnažujejo, pri čemer ta učinek pomoči načeloma ne bo obravnavan kot neupravičeno izkrivljanje konkurence, ker je neločljivo povezan s samim ciljem pomoči, tj. prehodom na zeleno gospodarstvo.
For the 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 Contracting Parties must be limited and outweighed by the positive effects in terms of contribution to the objective of common interest.
Nadzorni organ bo pri ocenjevanju morebitnih negativnih učinkov okoljske pomoči upošteval splošen okoljski učinek ukrepa v zvezi z njegovim negativnim vplivom na tržni položaj in s tem na dobiček podjetij, ki ne prejmejo pomoči.
The Authority identifies two main potential distortions caused by aid, namely product market distortions and location effects.
Pri tem bo obravnaval zlasti izkrivljajoče učinke na konkurente, katerih delovanje je prav tako okolju prijazno, čeprav niso prejeli pomoči.
Both types may lead to allocative inefficiencies which undermine the economic performance of the internal market and to distributional concerns which affect the distribution of economic activity across regions.
Poleg tega, manjši kot je pričakovani okoljski učinek zadevnega ukrepa, pomembnejše je preverjanje njegovega učinka na tržne deleže in dobičke konkurenčnih podjetij na trgu.
Aid for environmental purposes will by its very nature, tend to favour environmentally friendly products and technologies at the expense of other, more polluting ones and that effect of the aid will, in principle, not be viewed as an undue distortion of competition, since it is inherently linked to the very objective of the aid, that is to say making the economy greener.
Eden od potencialno škodljivih učinkov državne pomoči za okoljske in energetske cilje je, da preprečuje zagotavljanje učinkovitih rezultatov tržnega mehanizma, ki nagrajuje najučinkovitejše in najbolj inovativne proizvajalce ter izvaja pritisk na najmanj učinkovite proizvajalce, da bi se izboljšali, prestrukturirali ali izstopili s trga.
When assessing the potential negative effects of environmental aid, the Authority will take into account the overall environmental effect of the measure in relation to its negative impact on the market position, and thus on the profits, of non-aided firms.
To lahko povzroči razmere, v katerih zaradi pomoči, dodeljene nekaterim podjetjem, učinkovitejši ali bolj inovativni konkurenti, na primer konkurenti z drugačno ali celo čistejšo tehnologijo, ki bi sicer lahko vstopili na trg in se razširili, tega ne morejo storiti.
In doing so, the Authority will consider in particular the distortive effects on competitors that likewise operate on an environmentally friendly basis, even without aid.
Dolgoročno lahko poseganje v proces konkurenčnih vstopov in izstopov zavira inovacije in upočasni izboljšanje produktivnosti v celotnem sektorju.
Likewise, the lower the expected environmental effect of the measure in question, the more important the verification of its effect on competitors' market shares and profits in the market.
Pomoč ima lahko tudi izkrivljajoče učinke, če okrepi ali ohranja veliko tržno moč upravičenca.
One potentially harmful effect of State aid for environmental and energy objectives is that it prevents the market mechanism from delivering efficient outcomes by rewarding the most efficient and innovative producers and putting pressure on the least inefficient to improve, restructure or exit the market.
Tudi kadar pomoč velike tržne moči ne krepi neposredno, jo lahko krepi posredno, z odvračanjem obstoječih konkurentov od širitve, spodbujanjem njihovega izstopa ali odvračanjem vstopa novih konkurentov.
That might lead to a situation where, due to the aid granted to some firms, more efficient or innovative competitors, for example competitors with a different, possibly even cleaner technology, that would otherwise be able to enter and expand are unable to do so.
Razen izkrivljanj na proizvodnih trgih lahko pomoč vpliva tudi na trgovino in izbiro lokacije.
In the long run, interfering with the competitive entry and exit process may stifle innovation and slow down industry-wide productivity improvements.
Ta izkrivljanja se lahko pojavijo pri pogodbenicah, ko podjetja med seboj konkurirajo na čezmejni ravni ali razmišljajo o različnih lokacijah za naložbe.
Aid may also have distortive effects by strengthening or maintaining substantial market power of the beneficiary.
Pomoč, ki je namenjena ohranjanju gospodarske dejavnosti v eni regiji ali privabljanju dejavnosti iz drugih regij na notranjem trgu, morda neposredno ne povzroči izkrivljanja na proizvodnem trgu, vendar lahko povzroči selitev dejavnosti ali naložb iz ene regije v drugo brez kakršnega koli neto okoljskega vpliva.
Even where aid does not strengthen substantial market power directly, it may do so indirectly, by discouraging the expansion of existing competitors or inducing their exit or discouraging the entry of new competitors.
Očitni negativni učinki
Apart from distortions on the product markets, aid may also give rise to effects on trade and location choice.
Načeloma je treba analizirati ukrep pomoči in okoliščine, v katerih se ta ukrep uporabi, da se opredeli obseg, v katerem se lahko ukrep šteje za izkrivljajočega.
Those distortions can arise across Contracting Parties, either when firms compete across borders or consider different locations for investment.
Vendar v nekaterih primerih negativni učinki očitno presegajo morebitne pozitivne učinke, kar pomeni, da se pomoč ne more šteti za združljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP.
Aid aimed at preserving economic activity in one region or attracting it away from other regions within the internal market may not lead directly to a distortion in the product market, but it may displace activities or investments from one region into another without any net environmental impact.
Nadzorni organ določi največje intenzivnosti pomoči, ki pomenijo osnovno zahtevo za združljivost in katerih cilj je preprečiti uporabo državne pomoči za projekte, pri katerih se razmerje med zneskom pomoči in upravičenimi stroški ocenjuje kot zelo visoko in je še posebno verjetno, da bo izkrivljajoče.
Manifest negative effects
Prav tako se za združljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP ne šteje pomoč za okoljske in energetske cilje, ki povzroči le spremembo lokacije gospodarske dejavnosti in ne izboljša obstoječe ravni varstva okolja v pogodbenicah.
In principle, an aid measure and the context in which it is applied need to be analysed to identify the extent to which it can be deemed distortive.
Pri oceni negativnih učinkov ukrepa pomoči se Nadzorni organ osredotoča na izkrivljanja, ki izhajajo iz predvidljivega učinka, ki ga imata okoljska in energetska pomoč na konkurenco med podjetji na prizadetih proizvodnih trgih in lokacijo gospodarske dejavnosti.
However, there are situations where the negative effects manifestly outweigh any positive effects, meaning that the aid cannot be found compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement.
Če so ukrepi državne pomoči dobro usmerjeni na nedelovanje trga, ki se poskuša odpraviti, je tveganje, da bo pomoč neupravičeno izkrivljala konkurenco, bolj omejeno.
The Authority establishes maximum aid intensities which constitute a basic requirement for compatibility, and which have the aim of preventing the use of State aid for projects where the ratio between aid amount and eligible costs is deemed very high and particularly likely to be distortive.
Če je pomoč sorazmerna in omejena na dodatne naložbene stroške, je negativni učinek pomoči načeloma manjši.
Likewise, aid for environmental and energy objectives that merely leads to a change in location of the economic activity without improving the existing level of environmental protection in the Contracting Parties will not be considered compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement.
Vendar lahko pomoč povzroči spremembo v ravnanju upravičencev, tudi kadar je potrebna in sorazmerna, kar izkrivlja konkurenco.
In assessing the negative effects of the aid measure, the Authority focuses on the distortions resulting from the foreseeable impact of the environmental and energy aid has on competition between undertakings in the product markets affected and the location of economic activity.
Podjetje, ki si prizadeva doseči dobiček, bo običajno zvišalo raven varstva okolja nad obvezne zahteve samo, če meni, da bo to pomenilo vsaj majhno korist za podjetje.
If State aid measures are well targeted to the market failure they aim to address, the risk that the aid will unduly distort competition is more limited.
Da bi bilo izkrivljanj konkurence in trgovine čim manj, bo Nadzorni organ poseben poudarek namenil postopku izbire.
If the aid is proportionate and limited to the extra investment costs, the negative impact of the aid is in principle softened.
Če je mogoče, je treba izbirni postopek izvesti nediskriminatorno, pregledno in odprto, brez nepotrebne izključitve podjetij, ki lahko konkurirajo s projekti za dosego enakega okoljskega ali energetskega cilja.
However, even where aid is necessary and proportionate, aid may result in a change in behaviour of the beneficiaries which distorts competition.
Izbirni postopek mora pripeljati do izbire upravičencev, ki lahko dosegajo okoljske ali energetske cilje z uporabo najnižjega zneska pomoči ali na najbolj stroškovno učinkovit način.
A profit seeking undertaking will normally only increase the level of environmental protection beyond mandatory requirements if it considers that this will result, at least marginally in some sort of advantage for the undertaking.
Nadzorni organ bo zlasti ocenil negativne učinke pomoči z obravnavo naslednjih elementov:
In order to keep the distortions of competition and trade to a minimum, the Authority will place great emphasis on the selection process.
če bo nova oprema [49] privedla do nižjih stroškov na proizvedeno enoto v primerjavi s stanjem brez pomoči ali če pomoč nadomešča del stroškov poslovanja, bodo upravičenci verjetno povečali svojo prodajo.
Where possible, the selection process should be conducted in a non-discriminatory, transparent and open manner, without unnecessarily excluding companies that may compete with projects to address the same environmental or energy objective.
Večja kot je cenovna elastičnost proizvoda, večje so možnosti, da bo pomoč povzročila izkrivljanje konkurence;
The selection process should lead to the selection of beneficiaries that can address the environmental or energy objectives using the least amount of aid or in the most cost-effective way.
nov proizvod če upravičenci pridobijo nov ali bolj kakovosten proizvod, obstaja verjetnost, da bodo povečali svojo prodajo in morda pridobili prednost „prve poteze“.
The Authority will in particular assess the negative effects of the aid by considering the following elements:
Pogodbenica mora zagotoviti, da so negativni učinki, kot so opisani v oddelku 3.2.6.1, omejeni.
reduction in or compensation for production unit costs if the new equipment [49] will lead to reduced costs per unit produced compared to the situation without the aid or if the aid compensates a part of the operating cost, it is likely that the beneficiaries will increase sales.
Nadzorni organ bo poleg elementov iz oddelka 3.1.6.2 upošteval in ocenil, ali individualna pomoč vodi do:
The more price elastic the product, the greater the potential of the aid for distorting competition;
podpiranja neučinkovite proizvodnje in s tem oviranja rasti produktivnosti v sektorju;
new product if the beneficiaries obtain a new or a higher quality product, it is likely that they will increase their sales and possibly gain a ‘first mover’ advantage.
izkrivljanja dinamičnih spodbud;
The Contracting Party must ensure that the negative effects as described in Section 3.2.6.1 are limited.
ustvarjanja ali krepitve tržne moči ali izključevalnih ravnanj;
In addition to the elements specified in Section 3.1.6.2, the Authority will take into account and assess whether the individual aid leads to:
umetnega spreminjanja trgovinskih tokov ali lokacije proizvodnje.
supporting inefficient production, thereby impeding productivity growth in the sector;
Nadzorni organ lahko pri oceni kumulativnega učinka pomoči upošteva načrtovano uvedbo drugih energetskih in okoljskih shem podpore, ki neposredno ali posredno prinašajo koristi upravičencu, in ne samo priglašene sheme.
distorting dynamic incentives;
Nadzorni organ bo ocenil tudi, ali pomoč povzroči, da imajo nekatera območja ugodnejše proizvodne pogoje, zlasti zaradi razmeroma nižjih proizvodnih stroškov, ki so posledica pomoči, ali zaradi višjih proizvodnih standardov, doseženih prek pomoči.
creating or enhancing market power or exclusionary practices;
Zaradi tega se lahko zgodi, da podjetja ostanejo na območjih, ki prejemajo pomoč, ali se na ta območja preselijo ali da se trgovinski tokovi preusmerijo na območje, ki prejema pomoč.
artificially altering trade flows or the location of production.
Nadzorni organ bo v svoji analizi individualne pomoči, ki jo je treba priglasiti, ustrezno upošteval vse dokaze, da je upravičenec do pomoči obravnaval tudi druge lokacije.
The Authority may consider the planned introduction of energy and environmental support schemes, other than the one notified, which directly or indirectly benefit the beneficiary with a view to assessing the cumulative impact of the aid.
Preglednost
The Authority will also assess whether the aid results in some territories benefiting from more favourable production conditions, notably because of comparatively lower production costs as a result of the aid or because of higher production standards achieved through the aid.
Pogodbenice morajo zagotoviti objavo naslednjih informacij na izčrpnem spletišču o državni pomoči na nacionalni ali regionalni ravni: celotno besedilo odobrene sheme pomoči ali sklepa o dodelitvi individualne pomoči in njegovih izvedbenih določb ali povezavo do besedila, identiteto organa(-ov), ki dodeljuje(-jo) pomoč, identiteto posameznih upravičencev, obliko in znesek pomoči, dodeljene posameznemu upravičencu, datum dodelitve, vrsto podjetja (MSP/veliko podjetje), regijo, v kateri je upravičenec (na ravni NUTS II), in glavni gospodarski sektor, v katerem upravičenec izvaja svoje dejavnosti (na ravni skupine NACE).
This may result in companies staying in or re-locating to the aided territories, or to displacement of trade flows towards the aided area.
Pri shemah v obliki davčne ugodnosti in pomoči v obliki znižanj finančne podpore za električno energijo iz obnovljivih virov je mogoče informacije o zneskih individualne pomoči zagotoviti v naslednjih razponih (v milijonih EUR): [0,5–1]; [1–2]; [2–5]; [5–10]; [10–30]; [30 in več].
In its analysis of notifiable individual aid, the Authority will accordingly take into account any evidence that the aid beneficiary has considered alternative locations.
Te informacije je treba po sprejetju sklepa o dodelitvi pomoči objaviti, hraniti najmanj deset let in dati na voljo splošni javnosti brez omejitev [50].
