Mannvit explains a number of relevant differences:
Izračun družbe Míla temelji na dejanski dolžini vlakna zveze NATO, ki znaša 1850 km.
Míla's regulated tariff for fibre leased line services only applies to services between existing termination points with existing transmission equipment.
Svojo ponudbo pa je izračunala na podlagi povezave med točkama, tj. neposrednih vodov med ustreznimi priključnimi točkami.
The fibre leased by Vodafone, however, required the installation of transmission equipment at 30 locations.
Če bi se pri tem upoštevale priključne točke na vlaknu zveze NATO v času transakcije, bi uporaba te metode na podlagi povezave med točkama pomenila skupno dolžino, ki bi znašala samo 1283 km.
Mannvit estimates the average cost of installing this equipment at ISK 4 million per connection point, with a depreciation of 15 % per year, an estimated operating expenditure (‘Opex’) of 20 % of capital expenditure (‘Capex’) and a weighted average cost of capital (‘WACC’) of 8,5 % of Capex [25].
Izračun družbe Míla predvideva 15-odstotni popust, kar je največ, kar lahko družba Míla odobri v skladu s svojo regulirano ponudbo za pogodbeno obdobje treh let.
In total, Mannvit calculates an annual cost of ISK 52 million for the investments required to make the lease price paid by Vodafone comparable to Míla's offer.
V času zakupne pogodbe pa je družba Míla ponudila 25-odstotni popust za potrošnike, ki imajo v zakupu podobno dolžino vlakna.
Míla's calculation uses as a basis the actual length of the NATIO fibre, namely 1850 km.
Poleg tega pa bi se za zakup za obdobje desetih let moral odobriti višji popust od 15-odstotnega, ki velja za triletno pogodbo.
However, it calculates its own offer on a point-to-point basis, i.e. as a direct lines between the relevant termination points.
Podjetje Mannvit torej predvideva 25-odstotni popust.
When applied to the termination points on the NATO fibre at the time of the transaction, this point-to-point method results in a total length of only 1283 km.
Podjetje Mannvit nadalje dvomi v to, ali trenutna regulirana tarifa družbe Míla (7609 ISK na km/mesec, ki je začela veljati 1. avgusta 2011) zagotavlja dobro merilo za določanje tržne cene.
Míla's calculation assumes a discount of 15 %, which is the maximum Míla can grant under its regulated offer for a contract duration of three years.
Regulirano tarifo določa uprava za pošto in telekomunikacije glede na analizo preteklih stroškov družbe Míla za celotno omrežje vlaken, vključno z vsemi zadevnimi priključnimi točkami družbe Míla, odhodki iz poslovanja družbe Míla na vsaki od teh lokacij, splošnimi stopnjami uporabe družbe Míla itd. Več teh stroškovnih dejavnikov ni mogoče uporabiti za zadevno vlakno zveze NATO, ki je veliko preprostejše in ima manj priključnih točk.
However, at the time of the lease contract, Míla offered a discount of 25 % for customers renting a similar length of fibre.
Tarifa družbe Míla torej temelji na stroških in zadeva zgolj položaj družbe Míla, ki se precej razlikuje od položaja drugih udeležencev na trgu.
In addition, the duration of 10 years should also result in a higher discount than 15 %, which applies to a three-year contract.
Podjetje Mannvit tudi poudarja, da v času razpisa udeleženci na trgu niso imeli priložnosti za zakup optičnih vlaken od družbe Míla, razen v izjemnih primerih.
Mannvit therefore assumes a discount of 25 %.
Tisti, ki so to zahtevali, jim je bilo preprosto rečeno, da ni na voljo nobenega optičnega vlakna.
Mannvit further questions whether Míla's current regulated tariff (ISK 7609 per km/month, which entered into force on 1 August 2011) provides a good benchmark to determine the market price.
V teh okoliščinah se ni ustrezno sklicevati na cene družbe Míla kot tržne cene.
The regulated tariff is set by the PTA based on an analysis of the historic costs of Míla's whole fibre network, including all of Míla's relevant termination points, Míla's operating expenditure in each of these locations, Míla's general utilisation rates, etc.
Podjetje Mannvit torej predlaga, da je kot podlago za izračun tržne cene bolje uporabiti najnovejšo veleprodajno tarifo (5020 ISK na km/mesec, ki je začela veljati 1. januarja 2014) drugega operaterja, in sicer družbe Orkufjarskipti.
A number of these cost factors do not apply in the context of the NATO fibre at hand, which is much simpler and has fewer connection points.
Tudi ta operater zagotavlja 15-odstotni popust za triletne pogodbe.
Míla's tariff is thus cost-based and relevant only to Míla's own situation which differs greatly to that of other market operators.
Ocena cene, ki jo je zagotovila družba Míla, in navedena tarifa družbe Orkufjarskipti se nanašata na današnje cene.
Mannvit also points out that at the time of the tender, market participants were not given the opportunity to lease optical fibres from Míla, save in exceptional cases.
Da bi bili smiselni, ju je treba primerjati z zakupnino, ki jo družba Vodafone plačuje danes in znaša 28 milijonov ISK na leto.
Those who requested it were simply told that no optical fibres were available.
Podjetje Mannvit torej kot izhodišče ocenjuje, da bi bilo treba tržno zakupnino za vlakno zveze NATO (pred naložbami) izračunati na podlagi razdalje povezave med točkama, ki znaša 1283 km, in tarife družbe Orkufjarskipti, ki znaša 5020 ISK na km/mesec, s 25-odstotnim popustom, pri čemer ta vrednost znaša 57965940 ISK na leto.
In those circumstances it is not appropriate to refer to the prices of Míla as market prices.
Za primerjavo te vrednosti z zakupnino, ki jo plačuje družba Vodafone, je treba upoštevati dejstvo, da je družba Vodafone morala kriti več stroškov, da je lahko začela upravljati vlakno in izpolnila svoje obveznosti v skladu z zakupno pogodbo.
Mannvit therefore proposes to rather use the most recent wholesale tariff (ISK 5020 per km/month, which entered into force on 1 January 2014) of another operator, Orkufjarskipti, as the basis for calculating the market price.
Podjetje Mannvit ocenjuje, da so ti stroški znašali 52 milijonov ISK na leto.
This operator also provides a 15 % discount for three-year contracts.
Če se ta znesek doda zakupnini, ki jo plačuje družba Vodafone in trenutno znaša 28 milijonov ISK na leto, to pomeni skupno 80 milijonov ISK na leto, kar je precej presega ceno približno 58 milijonov ISK, ki je bil ocenjena na podlagi tarife družbe Orkufjarskipti.
The price estimate provided by Míla, as well as the Orkufjarskipti tariff set out above, refer to today's prices.
Podjetje Mannvit torej ugotavlja, da zakupnina za vlakno zveze NATO dejansko presega tržno vrednost.
In order to be meaningful, they have to be compared to the rent Vodafone pays today, which amounts to ISK 28 million per year.
Podjetje Mannvit ni ocenilo učinka omejitev zaradi vloge vlakna v obrambnem mehanizmu ter kriznem upravljanju Islandije in drugih članic zveze NATO na tržno vrednost.
Mannvit thus estimates as a starting point that a market rent for the NATO fibre (before investments) should be calculated based on the point-to-point distance of 1283 km and Orkufjarskipti's tariff of ISK 5020 per km/month with a 25 % discount, resulting in a value of ISK 57965940 per year.
Islandski organi pa ocenjujejo, da bi lahko negativni učinek navedenih omejitev na ceno znašal 15–25 %.
In order to compare the above value with the rental charge paid by Vodafone, account needs to be taken of the fact that Vodafone was faced with a variety of costs to make the fibre operational and fulfil its obligations under the lease contract.
Združljivost morebitne pomoči
Mannvit estimates these costs as ISK 52 million per year.
Islandski organi menijo, da bi državno pomoč, če bi se ukrep obravnaval kot takšna pomoč, bilo treba šteti za združljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP ob upoštevanju člena 59(2) in/ali člena 61(3)(c) tega sporazuma.
Added to the rental price paid by Vodafone, which currently is ISK 28 million per year, this amounts to a total of ISK 80 million per year or well above the price of about ISK 58 million estimated on the basis of the tariff of Orkufjarskipti.
Islandski organi so že večkrat poudarili, da bi se ukrep lahko obravnaval kot financiranje storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, v skladu z načeli iz poglavja 2.2.2 smernic Nadzornega organa za širokopasovna omrežja, ki so veljale v času ocene ukrepa.
Mannvit therefore concludes that the rent for leasing the NATO fibre actually exceeds the market value.
Islandski organi tudi trdijo, da bi se lahko ukrep štel za združljivega tudi na podlagi člena 61(3)(c) Sporazuma EGP.
Mannvit did not assess the impact of the restrictions due to the role of the fibre in the defence mechanism and crisis management of Iceland and other members of NATO on the market value.
Opozarjajo, da so islandski organi že prej dokazali, da so cilji ukrepa, vključno s ciljem povečanja javnega dostopa do širokopasovnih povezav na območjih, ki prejemajo pomoč, v skupnem interesu.
However, the Icelandic authorities estimate that these restrictions might have negatively affected the price by 15-25 %.
Predlagajo, da se za zadevni ukrep uporabijo načela trenutnih smernic za širokopasovna omrežja, in trdijo, da ukrep izpolnjuje vse bistvene pogoje združljivosti.
Compatibility of potential aid
PRIPOMBE ZAINTERESIRANIH STRANI NA ODLOČBO O ZAČETKU POSTOPKA
The Icelandic authorities submit that, in the event the measure is considered to constitute state aid, such aid should be considered compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement with reference to Article 59(2) and/or Article 61(3)(c).
Družba Míla v svojih pripombah na odločbo o začetku postopka ponavlja in podrobneje opisuje svoja mnenja, ki jih je že predložila v pritožbi in svoji vlogi na Sodišče Efte.
The Icelandic authorities have on previous occasions pointed out that the measure could be considered to constitute the financing of SGEI, in line with the principles enshrined in Chapter 2.2.2 of the Authority's Broadband Guidelines, applicable at the time the measure was assessed.
(pozneje Síminn hf. in Míla ehf.) v državni lasti iz leta 2001.
The Icelandic authorities also argue that, alternatively, the measure could be declared compatible on the basis of Article 61(3)(c) of the EEA Agreement.
Družba Míla se nato sklicuje na sporazum med islandsko vlado in družbo Síminn hf. z dne 27. marca 2001 v zvezi z lastništvom, upravljanjem in vzdrževanjem vlaken.
They note that the objectives of the measure, including the objective of increasing public broadband access in assisted areas, have previously been demonstrated by the Icelandic authorities to be in the common interest.
Družba Míla meni, da oba dokumenta potrjujeta, da je lastnik vlaken islandska vlada.
COMMENTS BY INTERESTED PARTIES TO THE OPENING DECISION
Družba Míla trdi, da javno naročilo za zakup vlaken ni določilo tržne cene, s čimer je družbi Vodafone omogočilo plačilo zakupne cene, ki je nižja od te, ki jo šteje za tržno vrednost, in zato je družba Vodafone imela prednost v primerjavi z njenimi konkurenti.
In its comments to the opening decision, Míla reiterates and elaborates on the submissions already made in the complaint and in its application to the EFTA Court.
V skladu s tem pogodba z družbo Vodafone pomeni državno pomoč.
On the question of state resources and ownership of the fibre, Míla maintains in principle that the ownership lies with the Icelandic Government.
Družba Míla je tudi zagotovila posodobljeno oceno tržne cene za vlakno zveze NATO.
In support of this claim, Míla refers firstly to a report of a special committee for the privatization of the state-owned telecom operator Landssími Íslands hf.
Na podlagi regulirane tarife (ki velja od 1. avgusta 2011) za dostop do enega vlakna, ki znaša 7609 ISK na km/mesec, in 15-odstotnega popusta za triletno pogodbo, bi morala tržna cena za vlakno, dolgo 1850 km, znašati 143589600 ISK na leto.
(later Síminn hf. and Míla ehf.) from 2001.
Kar zadeva vprašanje združljivosti, družba Míla meni, da bi Nadzorni organ moral ugotoviti, da ukrep ne izpolnjuje ustreznih meril iz smernic za širokopasovna omrežja, zato ni združljiv s členom 61(3)(c) Sporazuma EGP.
Secondly, Míla refers to an agreement between the Icelandic Government and Síminn hf. dated 27 March 2001 regarding the ownership, operations and maintenance of the fibres.
Kar zadeva morebitno združljivost v skladu s členom 59(2) Sporazuma EGP v smislu nadomestila za storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena, družba Míla meni, da države Efte ne morejo pripisovati obveznost javne službe storitvam, ki jih že zagotavljajo podjetja, ki delujejo pod običajnimi tržnimi pogoji.
Míla considers that both documents confirm that the ownership of the fibres rests with the Icelandic Government.
Ker je družba Míla že zagotavljala enako storitev v zvezi z vlakni na Islandiji pred sklenitvijo pogodbe z družbo Vodafone, bi moral Nadzorni organ ugotoviti, da ukrepa islandske vlade ni mogoče opredeliti kot storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
However, Míla also states that irrespective of whether the formal ownership of the fibre lies with the Icelandic Government or with NATO, the measure was granted through state resources.
Zato v obravnavanem primeru ni mogoče zagotoviti državne pomoči s sklicevanjem na člen 59(2) Sporazuma EGP.
Míla argues that the procurement for the lease of the fibres failed to establish a market price, allowing Vodafone to pay a leasing price below what it considers to be the market value; as a consequence, Vodafone gets an advantage compared to its competitors.
Družba Vodafone v glavnem meni, da njena pogodba z islandskimi organi ne pomeni državne pomoči.
Accordingly, the contract with Vodafone involves state aid.
V vsakem primeru pa bi pogodba bila skladna z načeli iz sodbe Altmark v zvezi s storitvami splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
Míla also provides an updated estimate of the market price for the NATO fibre.
Poleg tega družba Vodafone meni, da je mogoče uporabiti izjemo iz člena 61(3)(c) Sporazuma EGP, če bi v primeru bil opredeljen element pomoči.
Based on the regulated tariff (in force from 1 August 2011) for access to a single fibre of 7609 ISK per km/month and a discount of 15 % for a contract duration of three years, the market price for a 1850 km fibre should be ISK 143589600 per year.
Kar zadeva združljivost, družba Vodafone meni, da je za oceno zadevnega ukrepa ustrezno uporabiti smernice za širokopasovna omrežja.
As concerns the question of compatibility, Míla submits that the Authority should come to the conclusion that the measure does not meet the relevant criteria set out in the Broadband Guidelines and is therefore not compatible with Article 61(3)(c) of the EEA Agreement.
Družba Vodafone poudarja, da prisotnost omrežnega operaterja na danem območju ne pomeni nujno, da ni tržnih nepopolnosti ali kohezijskih težav.
As concerns possible compatibility under Article 59(2) of the EEA Agreement as a compensation for SGEI, Míla submits that the EFTA States cannot attach specific public service obligations to services that are already provided by undertakings operating under normal market conditions.
Prav nasprotno je vodilni položaj družbe Míla na zadevnem trgu vplival na kakovost storitve in ceno, po kateri so se storitve zagotavljale za državljane.
As Míla was already providing the same fibre service in Iceland from before the time the contract was entered into with Vodafone, the Authority's conclusion should be that the Icelandic Government measure may not be defined as an SGEI.
Možnosti, da bi tretje strani zgradile drugo infrastrukturo, so bile omejene ali jih ni bilo.
Consequently, state aid may not be provided in the case at hand with reference to Article 59(2) of the EEA Agreement.
Zakup kabla iz optičnih vlaken zveze NATO je bila torej ustrezna rešitev za odpravo pomanjkanja infrastrukturne konkurence in zmanjšanje trenutnih težav zaradi vodilnega položaja družbe Míla.
Vodafone is primarily of the view that its agreement with the Icelandic authorities does not entail state aid.
Pretekla uporaba regulativnih ukrepov ni bila uspešna v zagotavljanju enakih konkurenčnih pogojev na trgu.
In any event, the agreement would be in conformity with the Altmark principles on SGEI.
Zato je konkurenčnost na trgu še vedno bila neučinkovita.
Second, should an element of aid be identified in the case, Vodafone submits that the exemption provided for in Article 61(3)(c) of the EEA Agreement is applicable.
Družba Vodafone je zlasti poudarila, da ji je družba Míla uspešno preprečila vstop na zadevni trg tako, da ji je zavrnila dostop do pomembnih prostorov.
As concerns compatibility, Vodafone considers the Broadband Guidelines to be relevant to the assessment of the measure in question.
Sklenitev spornega sporazuma je pomenila precejšnje izboljšanje konkurenčnosti, predvsem na podeželskih območjih, in s tem večjo blaginjo potrošnikov.
Vodafone underlines that the existence of a network operator in a given area does not necessarily imply that no market failures or cohesion problems exist.
Družba Vodafone je lahko na primer zagotovila internetne povezave v občini Öræfasveit, ki je oddaljeno podeželsko območje, za katerega je pritožnik predhodno izjavil, da ne takih storitev ne bo zagotovil.
To the contrary, the monopoly position of Míla in the relevant market has affected both the quality of service and the price at which services are offered to the citizens.
Zakupna pogodba je za družbo Vodafone bila bistveni element pri vzpostavitvi in začetku zagotavljanja storitev v tem delu države.
There were limited if any prospects that third parties would build an alternative infrastructure.
Družba Míla je uporabila taktiko zavlačevanja, tako da je družbi Vodafone zavrnila dostop do prostorov za skupno upravljanje.
The leasing of the NATO fibre optic cable was therefore well suited to remedy the absence of infrastructure competition and reduce the current problems arising from the monopoly position of Míla.
FIZIČNA OSEBA [28]
Previous application of regulatory measures had not been successful in providing a level playing field in the market.
V pripombah fizične osebe so opisane izkušnje pri delu v zvezi z uvedbo infrastrukture širokopasovnih povezav iz optičnih vlaken v treh majhnih in oddaljenih občinah: Öræfasveit, Kirkjubæjarklaustri in Mýrdal.
As a result, competition in the market remained ineffective.
Vsi trije sistem so povezani z upravljanjem kabla iz optičnih vlaken družbe Vodafone.
It is noted in particular that Míla had been successful in preventing Vodafone's entrance in the relevant market by refusing access to essential facilities.
Samo družba Vodafone je bila na zahtevo pripravljena zagotoviti storitve prebivalcem in družbam v teh občinah.
By way of example, in the municipality of Öræfasveit, Vodafone was able to provide internet connections in a remote and rural area where the complainant had previously announced that it would not provide any such services.
Ko so bile širokopasovne povezave v občini Öræfasveit dejansko vzpostavljene, sta se za naložbo v položitev kabla iz optičnih vlaken odločili še dve občini, in sicer Skeiða- og gnúpverjahreppur in Hvalfjarðarstrandarhreppur.
The lease agreement was an essential element for Vodafone to build up and start to provide services in this part of the country.
Fizična oseba meni, da bi bilo brez pogodbe družbe Vodafone za zakup optičnega vlakna zveze NATO veliko manj napredka pri zagotavljanju telekomunikacijskih storitev v oddaljenih regijah Islandije.
Míla had employed stalling tactics by refusing Vodafone access to colocation facilities.
OCENA
Vodafone had to request a formal decision from the PTA on the access issue, which was published on 1 November 2010.
PRISOTNOST DRŽAVNE POMOČI
As a result of the disputed lease agreement, Vodafone was able to increase wholesale offers to include more than 30 different services.
UVOD
PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL [28]
Nadzorni organ bo v prihodnjih poglavjih ocenil, ali pogodba med islandsko Agencijo za obrambo in družbo Vodafone, na podlagi katere je slednja zakupila optično vlakno, ki se ga je prej upravljalo v imenu zveze NATO, pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP.
The comments by a private individual set out experiences when working on the introduction of fibre-optic broadband infrastructures in three small and remote municipalities: Öræfasveit, Kirkjubæjarklaustri and Mýrdal.
Ukrep pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP, če so izpolnjeni vsi naslednji pogoji: ukrep (i) dodeli država ali je dodeljen iz državnih sredstev; (ii) daje gospodarsko prednost podjetju; (iii) je selektiven in (i) bi lahko izkrivljal konkurenco in trgovino med pogodbenima stranema.
All three systems are linked to Vodafone's operation of the fibre optic cable.
DRŽAVNA SREDSTVA
When requested, only Vodafone was prepared to engage in providing the services to the inhabitants and companies in those municipalities.
V skladu s členom 61(1) Sporazuma EGP mora ukrep odobriti država ali mora biti odobren iz državnih sredstev, da se lahko šteje za državno pomoč.
Other telecom operators did not respond to the inquiry of the inhabitants.
Družba Míla v glavnem meni, da je lastnik vlakna islandska vlada.
Once the broadband in Öræfasveit became a reality, two further municipalities decided to invest in laying a fibre-optic cable to all inhabitants, i.e. Skeiða- og gnúpverjahreppur and Hvalfjarðarstrandarhreppur.
Ne glede na to, ali je formalni lastnik islandska vlada ali zveza NATO, pa je bil ukrep dodeljen iz državnih sredstev.
The private individual is of the view that without Vodafone's lease of the NATO optical fibre, there would have been much less progress in the provision of telecommunication services in remote regions of Iceland.
Islandski organi so pojasnili, da je lastnik vlaken zveza NATO, prim. navedeni oddelek I.4 in I.7.
ASSESSMENT
Sredstvo (tj. tri vlakna) ni v lasti islandske države in nobenega njenega subjekta.
THE PRESENCE OF STATE AID
Sredstva je financirala, zgradila in ima v trajni lasti zveza NATO.
INTRODUCTION
Dogovori med zvezo NATO in islandskimi organi temeljijo na načelu „ni stroškov, ni koristi“, kot je potrjeno v členih 5, 15 in 16 islandskega Zakona o obrambi št. 34/2008.
In the following chapters, the Authority will assess whether the contract between the Icelandic Defence Agency and Vodafone for the lease by the latter of an optical fibre previously operated on behalf of NATO involves state aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.
Islandska vlada pa ima kljub temu široko pravico do uporabe in druge pravice izkoriščanja, vključno s pravico do dajanja vlaken v zakup in uporabe prihodkov za vzdrževanje in druge tekoče stroške [29].
A measure constitutes state aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement if the following conditions are cumulatively fulfilled: the measure (i) is granted by the state or through state resources; (ii) confers an economic advantage on an undertaking; (iii) is selective; and (iv) is liable to distort competition and trade between Contracting Parties.
Za pravico do uporabe pa veljajo varnostna pravila in prednostne pravice zveze NATO.
STATE RESOURCES
Poleg tega zveza NATO prejme vse prihodke, ki presegajo operativne stroške vlaken.
According to Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement, a measure must be granted by the state or through state resources in order to constitute aid.
Zveza NATO tudi krije kakršna koli večja popravila ali zamenjave zaradi višje sile [30].
Míla is of the principal view that the ownership of the fibre lies with the Icelandic Government.
Nadzorni organ na podlagi predložitve islandskih organov meni, da zadevno vlakno ni v lasti Islandije.
However, irrespective of whether the formal ownership lies with the Icelandic Government or with NATO, the measure was granted through state resources.
Vprašanje lastništva vlakna pa ni odločilno za oceno Nadzornega organa.
The Icelandic authorities have clarified that the ownership of the fibres rests with NATO, cf. section I.4 and I.7 above.
Temu, da ima Islandija pravico do nadzora, ki ji omogoča izkoriščanje pravice do zakupa, ni mogoče oporekati.
