These guidelines therefore widen the concept of “rescue aid” in order to allow the beneficiary to undertake urgent measures, even of a structural nature, such as an immediate closure of a branch or other form of abandonment of loss-making activities.
Te smernice zato razširjajo pojem ‚pomoči za reševanje’, da bodo lahko upravičenci sprejeli nujne ukrepe, ki so lahko tudi strukturne narave, kot so takojšnje zaprtje podružnice ali druga oblika opustitve dejavnosti, ki prinašajo izgubo.
Given the urgent character of such aids, the EFTA States should be given the opportunity to opt for a simplified procedure to obtain their approval.
Zaradi nujnosti takšne pomoči morajo imeti države EFTE priložnost, da se odločijo za poenostavljeni postopek za njihovo odobritev.
As regards restructuring aids, building on the 1994 guidelines, the 1999 guidelines continued to require a substantial contribution from the beneficiary to the restructuring.
Glede pomoči za prestrukturiranje, ki temelji na smernicah iz leta 1994, so smernice iz leta 1999 še naprej od upravičenca zahtevale precejšen prispevek za prestrukturiranje.
Within this revision, it is appropriate to reaffirm with greater clarity the principle that this contribution must be real and free of aid.
V okviru teh sprememb je primerno ponovno še jasneje poudariti načelo, da mora biti ta prispevek stvaren in v njem ne sme biti všteta nobena pomoč.
The beneficiary's contribution has a twofold purpose: on the one hand, it will demonstrate that the markets (owners, creditors) believe in the feasibility of the return to viability within a reasonable time period.
Prispevek upravičenca ima dvojni namen: po eni strani pokaže zaupanje trgov (lastnikov, upnikov) v to, da lahko podjetje v razumnem obdobju obnovi sposobnost preživetja.
On the other hand, it will ensure that restructuring aid is limited to the minimum required to restore viability while limiting distortion of competition.
Po drugi strani pa zagotavlja, da se pomoč za prestrukturiranje omeji na najnižjo vsoto, potrebno za obnovo sposobnosti preživetja, in hkrati omeji izkrivljanje konkurence.
In this respect the Authority will also request compensatory measures to minimise the effect on competitors.
V zvezi s tem bo Organ zahteval tudi izravnalne ukrepe, da se čim bolj zmanjša učinek na konkurente.
The provision of rescue or restructuring aid to firms in difficulty may only be regarded as legitimate subject to certain conditions.
Zagotavljanje pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetjem v težavah se lahko šteje za zakonito le ob upoštevanju določenih pogojev.
It may be justified, for instance, by social or regional policy considerations, by the need to take into account the beneficial role played by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the economy or, exceptionally, by the desirability of maintaining a competitive market structure when the demise of firms could lead to a monopoly or to a tight oligopolistic situation.
Upravičujejo ga lahko na primer socialni ali regionalno politični razlogi, potreba po upoštevanju koristne vloge majhnih in srednje velikih podjetij (MSP) v gospodarstvu ali izjemoma želja po vzdrževanju konkurenčne tržne strukture, ko bi izginjanje podjetij lahko vodilo k monopolnemu ali izrazitemu oligopolnemu položaju.
On the other hand, it would not be justified to keep a firm artificially alive in a sector with long-term structural overcapacity or when it can only survive as a result of repeated State interventions.
Po drugi strani pa ne bi bilo upravičeno umetno ohranjati pri življenju podjetje v sektorju z dolgoročno strukturno presežno zmogljivostjo ali če lahko preživi le s ponavljajočimi se državnimi posegi.

Meaning of “a firm in difficulty”
Pojem ‚podjetje v težavah’
There is no EEA definition of what constitutes “a firm in difficulty”.
EGP nima opredelitve ‚podjetja v težavah’.
However, for the purposes of these Guidelines, the Authority regards a firm as being in difficulty where it is unable, whether through its own resources or with the funds it is able to obtain from its owner/shareholders or creditors, to stem losses which, without outside intervention by the public authorities, will almost certainly condemn it to going out of business in the short or medium term.
Za namene teh smernic pa Organ šteje podjetje za podjetje v težavah, ko ni zmožno z lastnimi sredstvi ali sredstvi, ki jih lahko pridobi od svojih lastnikov/delničarjev ali upnikov, preprečiti izgube, ki bi brez zunanjega posredovanja državnih organov kratko- ali srednjeročno skoraj gotovo ogrozile obstoj družbe.
In particular, a firm is, in principle and irrespective of its size, regarded as being in difficulty for the purposes of these Guidelines in the following circumstances:
Za namen teh smernic se podjetje šteje za podjetje v težavah načeloma in ne glede na velikost, zlasti v naslednjih okoliščinah:
in the case of a limited liability company [5], where more than half of its registered capital has disappeared [6] and more than one quarter of that capital has been lost over the preceding 12 months;
v primeru družbe z omejeno odgovornostjo [5], pri kateri je izginila več kot polovica njenega delniškega kapitala [6] in je bila več kot četrtina tega kapitala izgubljena v preteklih 12 mesecih;
in the case of a company where at least some members have unlimited liability for the debt of the company [7], where more than half of its capital as shown in the company accounts has disappeared and more than one quarter of that capital has been lost over the preceding 12 months;
v primeru družbe, v kateri nosi vsaj nekaj članov neomejeno odgovornost za dolg družbe [7], pri kateri je izginila več kot polovica njenega kapitala, prikazanega v računovodskih izkazih družbe, in je bila več kot četrtina tega kapitala izgubljena v preteklih 12 mesecih;
whatever the type of company concerned, where it fulfils the criteria under its domestic law for being the subject of collective insolvency proceedings.
ne glede na vrsto zadevne družbe, če po domači zakonodaji izpolnjuje merila za uvedbo stečajnega postopka.
Even when none of the circumstances set out in point 9 are present, a firm may still be considered to be in difficulties, in particular where the usual signs of a firm being in difficulty are present, such as increasing losses, diminishing turnover, growing stock inventories, excess capacity, declining cash flow, mounting debt, rising interest charges and falling or nil net asset value.
Podjetje lahko velja za podjetje v težavah, tudi če ni izpolnjena nobena od okoliščin iz točke 9, zlasti ob prisotnosti običajnih znakov podjetja v težavah, kot so naraščajoče izgube, upadanje prometa, kopičenje zalog, presežna zmogljivost, padanje denarnih tokov, naraščajoči dolgovi, naraščajoči stroški obresti in zmanjševanje ali nična čista vrednost sredstev.
In acute cases the firm may already have become insolvent or may be the subject of collective insolvency proceedings brought under domestic law.
V težjih primerih je lahko podjetje že postalo plačilno nesposobno ali je po domačem pravu že v stečajnem postopku.
In the latter case, these Guidelines apply to any aid granted in the context of such proceedings which leads to the firm’s continuing in business.
V tem primeru se te smernice uporabljajo za vsako pomoč, dodeljeno v okviru takšnih postopkov, katere cilj je nadaljevanje poslovanja podjetja.
In any event, a firm in difficulty is eligible only where, demonstrably, it cannot recover through its own resources or with the funds it obtains from its owners/shareholders or from market sources.
Vsekakor pa je podjetje v težavah upravičeno do pomoči le takrat, ko je mogoče dokazati, da si ne more opomoči z lastnimi sredstvi ali sredstvi lastnikov/delničarjev ali iz tržnih virov.
For the purposes of these Guidelines, a newly created firm is not eligible for rescue or restructuring aid even if its initial financial position is insecure.
Za namene teh smernic novo ustanovljeno podjetje ni upravičeno do pomoči za reševanje ali prestrukturiranje, tudi če je njegov začetni finančni položaj negotov.
This is the case, for instance, where a new firm emerges from the liquidation of a previous firm or merely takes over such firm's assets.
Primer takšnega podjetja je, ko po likvidaciji podjetja nastane novo podjetje ali pa le prevzame sredstva starega.
A firm will in principle be considered as newly created for the first 3 years following the start of operations in the relevant field of activity.
Podjetje načeloma velja za novoustanovljeno prva tri leta po začetku poslovanja na ustreznem področju.
Only after that period will it become eligible for rescue or restructuring aid, provided that:
Šele po izteku navedenega obdobja postane upravičeno do pomoči za reševanje ali prestrukturiranje, če:
it qualifies as a firm in difficulty within the meaning of these Guidelines, and
izpolnjuje pogoje za podjetje v težavah v smislu teh smernic; in
it does not form part of a larger business group [8] except under the conditions laid down in point 12.
ni del večje poslovne skupine [8], razen pod pogoji iz točke 12.
A firm belonging to or being taken over by a larger business group is not normally eligible for rescue or restructuring aid, except where it can be demonstrated that the firm's difficulties are intrinsic and are not the result of an arbitrary allocation of costs within the group, and that the difficulties are too serious to be dealt with by the group itself.
Podjetje, ki pripada večji poslovni skupini ali ga je taka skupina prevzela, običajno ni upravičeno do pomoči za reševanje ali prestrukturiranje, razen če je mogoče dokazati, da je vzrok težav v podjetju samem in te niso posledica samovoljnega prerazporejanja stroškov v skupini ter da so težave prehude, da bi jih skupina lahko odpravila sama.
Where a firm in difficulty creates a subsidiary, the subsidiary, together with the firm in difficulty controlling it, will be regarded as a group and may receive aid under the conditions laid down in this point.
Če podjetje v težavah ustanovi hčerinsko podjetje, veljata podjetje v težavah in hčerinsko podjetje, katerega nadzoruje, za skupino in lahko prejmeta pomoč pod pogoji iz te točke.
Definition of “rescue and restructuring aid”
Opredelitev ‚pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje’
Rescue aid and restructuring aid are covered by the same set of guidelines, because in both cases the public authorities are faced with a firm in difficulty and the rescue and restructuring are often two parts of a single operation, even if they involve different processes.
Pomoč za reševanje in pomoč za prestrukturiranje sta zajeti v istih smernicah, ker se v obeh primerih organi oblasti srečujejo s podjetjem v težavah ter sta reševanje in prestrukturiranje pogosto dva dela istega postopka, čeprav zahtevata različne procese.
Rescue aid is by nature temporary and reversible assistance.
Pomoč za reševanje je po naravi začasna in povratna pomoč.
Its primary objective is to make it possible to keep an ailing firm afloat for the time needed to work out a restructuring or liquidation plan.
Njen osnovni cilj je omogočiti, da podjetje v težavah ostane pri življenju v obdobju, ki je potrebno za izdelavo načrta za prestrukturiranje ali likvidacijo.
The general principle is that rescue aid makes it possible temporarily to support a company confronted with an important deterioration of its financial situation reflected by an acute liquidity crisis or technical insolvency.
Splošno načelo je, da pomoč za reševanje omogoča začasno podporo družbi, ki se srečuje s precejšnjim poslabšanjem finančnega položaja, ki se kaže v hudi likvidnostni krizi ali dejanski plačilni nesposobnosti.
Such temporary support should allow time to analyse the circumstances which gave rise to the difficulties and to develop an appropriate plan to remedy those difficulties.
Takšna začasna pomoč mora omogočiti čas za analizo okoliščin, ki so povzročile težave, ter za razvoj ustreznega načrta za njihovo reševanje.
Moreover, the rescue aid must be limited to the minimum necessary.
Poleg tega mora biti pomoč za reševanje omejena na najnižjo potrebno vsoto.
In other words, rescue aid offers a short respite, not exceeding six months, to a firm in difficulty.
Z drugimi besedami, pomoč za reševanje daje podjetju v težavah kratek odlog, ki ni daljši od šestih mesecev.
The aid must consist of reversible liquidity support in the form of loan guarantees or loans, with an interest rate at least comparable to those observed for loans to healthy firms and in particular the reference rates adopted by the Authority.
Pomoč mora biti povratna likvidnostna podpora v obliki garancij za posojilo ali posojil z obrestno mero, ki je vsaj primerljiva z obrestnimi merami posojil zdravim podjetjem, in zlasti referenčnimi merami, ki jih je sprejel Organ.
Structural measures which do not require immediate action, such as, the irremediable and automatic participation of the State in the own funds of the firm, cannot be financed through rescue aid.
Pomoč za reševanje ne sme financirati strukturnih ukrepov, ki ne zahtevajo takojšnjega ukrepanja, kot so nepreklicna in avtomatična udeležba države v lastnih sredstvih podjetja.
Once a restructuring or liquidation plan for which aid has been requested has been established and is being implemented, all further aid will be considered as restructuring aid.
Ko je načrt za prestrukturiranje ali likvidacijo, na katerega se nanaša prošnja za pomoč, določen in se začne izvajati, se vsa nadaljnja pomoč šteje za pomoč za prestrukturiranje.
Measures which need to be implemented immediately to stem losses, including structural measures (for example, immediate withdrawal from a loss-making field of activity), can be undertaken with the rescue aid, subject to the conditions mentioned in Section 16.3.1 for individual aids and Section 16.4.3 for aid schemes.
Ukrepi, ki jih je zaradi preprečevanja izgub treba izvesti takoj, vključno s strukturnimi ukrepi (na primer takojšen umik iz področja dejavnosti, ki prinaša izgube), se lahko sprejmejo s pomočjo za reševanje, ob upoštevanju pogojev, omenjenih v delu 16.3.1 za posamezne pomoči in delu 16.4.3 za sheme pomoči.
Except where use is made of the simplified procedure set out in Section 16.3.1.2, an EFTA State will need to demonstrate that such structural measures must be undertaken immediately.
Država EFTE bo morala dokazati nujnost takojšnje izvedbe takšnih strukturnih ukrepov, razen kadar se uporabi poenostavljeni postopek iz dela 16.3.1.2.
Rescue aid cannot normally be granted for financial restructuring.
Pomoč za reševanje se navadno ne sme dodeliti za finančno prestrukturiranje.
Restructuring, on the other hand, will be based on a feasible, coherent and far-reaching plan to restore a firm's long-term viability.
Po drugi strani prestrukturiranje temelji na izvedljivem, skladnem in daljnosežnem načrtu za obnovo dolgoročne sposobnosti preživetja podjetja.
Restructuring usually involves one or more of the following elements: the reorganisation and rationalisation of the firm's activities on to a more efficient basis, typically involving the withdrawal from loss-making activities, the restructuring of those existing activities that can be made competitive again and, possibly, diversification in the direction of new and viable activities.
Prestrukturiranje običajno vključuje enega ali več naslednjih elementov: reorganizacijo in racionalizacijo dejavnosti podjetja na učinkovitejši podlagi, ki navadno vključuje umik iz dejavnosti, ki prinašajo izgube, prestrukturiranje tistih obstoječih dejavnosti, ki lahko znova postanejo konkurenčne, in po možnosti širitev dejavnosti v smeri novih in donosnih dejavnosti.
Financial restructuring (capital injections, debt reduction) usually has to accompany the physical restructuring.
Fizično prestrukturiranje mora običajno spremljati še finančno prestrukturiranje (dokapitalizacija, zmanjšanje dolgov).
Restructuring operations within the scope of these Guidelines cannot, however, be limited to financial aid designed to make good past losses without tackling the reasons for those losses.
Vendar pa postopki prestrukturiranja, ki spadajo na področje uporabe teh smernic, ne smejo biti omejeni na finančno pomoč, namenjeno pokritju preteklih izgub, ne da bi se ugotavljali razlogi za te izgube.
These Guidelines apply to firms in all sectors covered by the EEA Agreement and subject to the Authority’s review in accordance with Article 62 of the EEA Agreement, without prejudice to any rules relating to firms in difficulty in the sector concerned [9].
Te smernice se uporabljajo za podjetja v vseh sektorjih, ki jih obravnava Sporazum EGP in preverja Organ v skladu s členom 62 Sporazuma EGP, brez poseganja v katera koli pravila za podjetja v težavah v zadevnem sektorju [9].
Article 61(2) and (3) of the EEA Agreement provide for the possibility that aid falling within the scope of Article 61(1) will be regarded as compatible with the common market.
Člen 61(2) in (3) Sporazuma EGP predvideva možnost, da pomoč v okviru člena 61(1) velja za združljivo s skupnim trgom.
Apart from cases of aid envisaged by Article 61(2), in particular aid to make good the damage caused by natural disasters or exceptional occurrences, which are not covered here, the only basis on which aid for firms in difficulty can be deemed compatible is Article 61(3)(c).
Razen primerov pomoči, predvidenih v členu 61(2), zlasti pomoči za povrnitev škode, ki so jo povzročile naravne nesreče ali izredni dogodki, ki niso zajeti v teh smernicah, je člen 61(3)(c) edina podlaga, na kateri se pomoč podjetjem v težavah lahko šteje za združljivo.
Given that its very existence is in danger, a firm in difficulty cannot be considered an appropriate vehicle for promoting other public policy objectives until such time as its viability is assured.
Glede na to, da je ogrožen obstoj podjetja v težavah, se to podjetje ne more obravnavati kot ustrezen instrument za pospeševanje drugih ciljev javne politike, dokler ni zagotovljena njegova sposobnost preživetja.
Consequently, the Authority considers that aid to firms in difficulty may contribute to the development of economic activities without adversely affecting trade to an extent contrary to the EEA interest only if the conditions set out in these Guidelines are met.
Zato Organ meni, da lahko zgolj ob izpolnjevanju pogojev, opredeljenih v teh smernicah, pomoč podjetjem v težavah prispeva k razvoju gospodarskih dejavnosti, ne da bi s tem škodila trgovini v obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju z interesom EGP.
Where the firms which are to receive rescue or restructuring aid are located in assisted areas, the Authority will take the regional considerations referred to in Article 61(3)(a) and (c) of the EEA Agreement into account as described in points 54 to 55.
Če so podjetja, ki naj bi prejela pomoč za reševanje ali prestrukturiranje, na območjih, ki prejemajo pomoč, bo Organ upošteval regionalne vidike iz člena 61(3)(a) in (c) Sporazuma EGP, kot je opisano v točkah 54 in 55.
The Authority will pay particular attention to the need to prevent the use of these Guidelines to circumvent the principles laid down in existing frameworks and Guidelines.
Organ bo zlasti pozoren na potrebo po preprečevanju uporabe teh smernic za izogibanje načelom, določenim v obstoječih okvirih in smernicah.
The assessment of rescue or restructuring aid should not be affected by changes in the ownership of the business aided.
Na ovrednotenje pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje ne smejo vplivati spremembe v lastništvu podjetja, ki mu je namenjena pomoč.
Recipients of previous unlawful aid
Prejemniki predhodne nezakonite pomoči
Where unlawful aid has previously been granted to the firm in difficulty, in respect of which the Authority has adopted a negative decision with a recovery order, and where no such recovery has taken place in compliance with Article 14 in Part II of Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the EFTA States on the establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice (hereinafter the Surveillance and Court Agreement) [10], the assessment of any rescue and restructuring aid to be granted to the same undertaking shall take into account, first, the cumulative effect of the old aid and of the new aid and, secondly, the fact that the old aid has not been repaid [11].
Če je bila podjetju v težavah predhodno dodeljena nezakonita pomoč, glede katere je Organ sprejel negativno odločbo z nalogom za izterjavo, in če takšna izterjava ni bila opravljena v skladu s členom 14 dela II Protokola 3 k Sporazumu med državami EFTE o ustanovitvi nadzornega organa in sodišča (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Sporazum o nadzoru in sodišču) [10], se bo pri ovrednotenju kakršne koli pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje za isto podjetje upošteval kumulativni učinek stare in nove pomoči ter dejstvo, da stara pomoč ni bila povrnjena [11].
General conditions for the authorisation of rescue and/or restructuring aid notified individually to the Authority
Splošni pogoji za odobritev pomoči za reševanje in/ali prestrukturiranje, posamično priglašene organu
This Chapter deals exclusively with aid measures that are notified individually to the Authority.
To poglavje obravnava izključno ukrepe pomoči, ki so Organu priglašeni posamično.
Under certain conditions, the Authority may authorise rescue or restructuring aid schemes: those conditions are set out in Section 16.4.
