citizens of the EEA States, in the case of seafarers working on board vessels (including ro-ro ferries [15]) providing scheduled passenger services between the ports of the EEA,all seafarers liable to taxation and/or social security contributions in an EEA State, in all other cases.
državljani držav EGP, v primeru pomorščakov, ki delajo na krovu plovil (vključno z ro-ro trajekti [15]), ki opravljajo storitve rednega prevoza potnikov med pristanišči EGP,vsi pomorščaki, zavezani plačilu davka in/ali prispevkov za socialno varnost v državi EGP v vseh drugih primerih.
Paragraph 3 goes on to clarify that some EEA States may, for internal fiscal reasons, prefer not to apply reduced rates as mentioned above, but instead reimburse shipowners — partially or wholly — for the costs arising from these levies.
V odstavku 3 sledi pojasnilo, da nekatere države EGS zaradi notranjih davčnih razlogov ne želijo uporabljati zgoraj navedenih znižanih stopenj, ampak namesto tega lastnikom ladij povrnejo – deloma ali v celoti – stroške, ki izhajajo iz teh dajatev.
Such an approach may generally be considered equivalent to the reduced-rate system as described above, provided that there is a clear link to these levies, no element of over-compensation, and that the system is transparent and not open to abuse.
Takšen pristop lahko na splošno velja za enakovrednega zgoraj opisanemu sistemu znižanih stopenj, pod pogojem, da obstaja jasna povezava s temi dajatvami, da ni čezmernih nadomestil ter da je sistem pregleden in ne dopušča zlorab.
Paragraph 2 of Section 3.2 of the Maritime Guidelines only allows for aid in the form of reduced rates of contributions for the social protection of EEA seafarers employed on board ships registered in an EEA State.
Odstavek 2 oddelka 3.2 Smernic o pomorskem prometu dopušča samo pomoč z znižanimi stopnjami prispevkov za socialno zaščito pomorščakov EGP, ki so zaposleni na krovu ladij, registriranih v državi EGP.
The Norwegian authorities have confirmed that all ships used for the Hurtigruten service in 2004 were registered in Norway.
Norveški organi so potrdili, da so bile vse ladje, ki so se leta 2004 uporabljale za opravljanje storitev Hurtigruten, registrirane na Norveškem.
The Authority therefore considers the registration condition to be fulfilled.
Nadzorni organ zato meni, da je pogoj registracije izpolnjen.
Concerning the condition that the social protection must be for ‘EEA seafarers’, this expression is defined as either citizens of the EEA States, in the case of seafarers working on board vessels (including ro-ro ferries) providing scheduled passenger services between the ports of the EEA or all seafarers liable to taxation and/or social security contributions in an EEA State, in all other cases.
Glede pogoja, da mora biti socialna zaščita namenjena „pomorščakom EGP“, so „pomorščaki EGP“ opredeljeni ali kot državljani držav EGP, v primeru pomorščakov, ki delajo na krovu plovil (vključno s ro-ro trajekti), ki opravljajo storitve rednega prevoza potnikov med pristanišči EGP, ali kot vsi pomorščaki, zavezani plačilu davka in/ali prispevkov za socialno varnost v državi EGP, v vseh drugih primerih.
In the Hurtigruten Agreement, the Hurtigruten service was described as services of combined transport of passengers and goods between Bergen and Kirkenes.
V Sporazumu Hurtigruten so bile storitve Hurtigruten opisane kot storitve kombiniranega prevoza potnikov in blaga med krajema Bergen in Kirkenes.
According to the information submitted by the Norwegian authorities, approximately 92 % of the Hurtigruten companies’ turnover for 2004 was related to passenger transport, whereas approximately 8 % was related to transport of goods.
Glede na informacije, ki so jih predložili norveški organi, je bilo približno 92 % prometa podjetij Hurtigruten leta 2004 povezanega s prevozom potnikov, 8 % pa s prevozom blaga.
Some of the Hurtigruten ships had facilities to enable passenger cars to roll-on and roll-off the vessel.
Nekaj ladij Hurtigruten je imelo možnost neposrednega vkrcanja in izkrcanja osebnih avtomobilov.
However, it was not possible for commercial vehicles (lorries, trailers, etc.) to roll-on and roll-off the ships.
Vkrcanje gospodarskih vozil (tovornjakov, priklopnikov itd.) na ladje in izkrcanje z njih pa ni bilo mogoče.
Furthermore, the Hurtigruten service, as explained in Section I.2 above, provided scheduled transport services along the Norwegian coast, and thus within the EEA.
Poleg tega so storitve Hurtigruten, kot je pojasnjeno v oddelku I.2 zgodaj, zagotavljale storitve rednega prevoza ob norveški obali in s tem znotraj EGP.
On this basis, the Authority considers that the ships of the Hurtigruten companies must be considered to fall under the first alternative definition above i.e. vessels providing scheduled passenger services between the ports of the EEA.
Na podlagi tega Nadzorni organ meni, da je treba ladje podjetij Hurtigruten obravnavati kot ladje iz prve možnosti opredelitve zgoraj, tj. kot plovila, ki opravljajo storitve rednega prevoza potnikov med pristanišči EGP.
This implies that the compensation for increased social security contributions granted to the Hurtigruten companies is only compatible with Section 3.2 of the Maritime Transport Guidelines insofar as the compensation was granted with regard to seafarers who were citizens of an EEA State.
To pomeni, da je nadomestilo za povišane prispevke za socialno varnost, odobreno podjetjema Hurtigruten, združljivo z oddelkom 3.2 Smernic za pomorski promet le, če je bilo nadomestilo odobreno v zvezi s pomorščaki, ki so državljani države EGP.
The Norwegian authorities have provided information to the effect that all employees on the ships used for the Hurtigruten service in 2004 were citizens of an EEA State.
Norveški organi so predložili informacije, da so bili vsi zaposleni na ladjah, ki so se leta 2004 uporabljale za opravljanje storitev Hurtigruten, državljani države EGP.
It was explicitly stated in the State Budget that the additional aid to the Hurtigruten companies was granted in order to cover additional social security costs for the companies.
V državnem proračunu je bilo izrecno navedeno, da je bila dodatna pomoč podjetjema Hurtigruten odobrena, da se pokrijejo njuni dodatni stroški socialnega zavarovanja.
Therefore, there was a clear link between the grant and the social security charges.
Zato je obstajala jasna povezava med pomočjo in stroški socialnega zavarovanja.
Furthermore, the size of the grant corresponded exactly to the increase in social security costs of the companies.
Poleg tega je velikost pomoči natanko ustrezala povišanju stroškov socialnega zavarovanja podjetij.
As will be shown below in Section II.4.4, the grant did not imply any over-compensation.
Kot bo prikazano spodaj v oddelku II.4.4, pomoč ni pomenila čezmernega nadomestila.
Finally, the aid was a one-off payment which was announced in the State Budget.
Nazadnje, pomoč je bila plačilo v enkratnem znesku, ki je bilo predvideno v državnem proračunu.
Hence, the aid was granted in a way which was transparent and not open to abuse.
Pomoč je bila torej odobrena pregledno in na način, ki ne dopušča zlorabe.
It follows that the conditions for considering reimbursement of social security charges as equivalent to a system of reduced rates for contributions are fulfilled.
Iz tega sledi, da so pogoji, po katerih se povračilo stroškov socialne varnosti šteje kot enakovredno sistemu znižanih stopenj za prispevke, izpolnjeni.
On this basis, the Authority concludes that the aid granted to the Hurtigruten companies for increased social security contributions in 2004 is in line with Section 3.2 of the Maritime Transport Guidelines.
Na podlagi tega Nadzorni organ ugotavlja, da je pomoč, odobrena podjetjema Hurtigruten zaradi povišanih prispevkov za socialno varnost leta 2004, skladna z oddelkom 3.2 Smernic za pomorski promet.
Over-compensation and cumulation
Čezmerno nadomestilo in kumulacija
According to paragraph 2 of Section 11 of the Maritime Transport Guidelines, a reduction of contributions for the social protection of EEA seafarers may be granted up to a ceiling of 100 %, i.e. a reduction to zero social charges.
Po odstavku 2 oddelka 11 Smernic za pomorski promet se lahko znižanje prispevkov za socialno zaščito pomorščakov EGP odobri do zgornje meje 100 %, tj. znižanje na ničelno stopnjo prispevkov za socialno varstvo.
In the present case, the Hurtigruten companies had been charged increased social security contributions in 2004 compared to the rate applied in previous years.
V obravnavanem primeru so bili podjetjema Hurtigruten leta 2004 naloženi povišani prispevki za socialno varnost v primerjavi s stopnjo, uporabljeno v prejšnjih letih.
The Authority considers that the amount of aid granted under Sections 3 to 6 of the Maritime Transport Guidelines did not exceed the total amount of taxes and social security contributions collected from shipping activities and seafarers and that the criterion contained in Section 11, paragraph 2, of those Guidelines has been fulfilled.
Nadzorni organ meni, da znesek pomoči, odobren na podlagi oddelkov 3 do 6 Smernic za pomorski promet, ni presegel skupnega zneska davkov in prispevkov za socialno varnost, pobranih od dejavnosti ladijskega prometa in pomorščakov, ter da je bilo merilo iz odstavka 2 oddelka 11 navedenih smernic izpolnjeno.
In addition to the aid for labour-related costs granted to the Hurtigruten companies on the basis of the Maritime Transport Guidelines, the Hurtigruten companies also received aid according to the Hurtigruten Agreement on purchase of transport services and according to the Authority’s Decision of 12 November 2003 to approve the transitional period for the differentiated social security contribution on employers.
Poleg pomoči za stroške dela, odobrene podjetjema Hurtigruten na podlagi Smernic za pomorski promet, sta podjetji Hurtigruten dobili tudi pomoč v skladu s Sporazumom Hurtigruten za nakup prevoznih storitev in v skladu z Odločbo Nadzornega organa z dne 12. novembra 2003 o odobritvi prehodnega obdobja za diferencirane prispevke za socialno varnost za delodajalce.
To ensure that no over-compensation took place, it is necessary to verify that the Hurtigruten companies were not compensated for the same costs under each of these measures.
Za zagotovitev, da ni bilo čezmernega nadomestila, je treba preveriti, da se podjetjema Hurtigruten nadomestilo ni plačalo za iste stroške na podlagi vsakega od teh ukrepov.
In this regard, the Authority notes that the increase in the companies' social security costs arose as a result of the Authority’s Decision 172/02/COL to propose appropriate measures to Norway regarding the Norwegian system of differentiated social security contributions.
Glede tega Nadzorni organ ugotavlja, da so se stroški socialnega zavarovanja podjetij povišali zaradi Odločbe Nadzornega organa 172/02/COL o predlogu ustreznih ukrepov za Norveško glede njenega sistema diferenciranih prispevkov za socialno varnost.
The Norwegian State notified a plan for managing the transition to non-differentiated social security contributions.
Norveška država je priglasila načrt za upravljanje prehoda na nediferencirane prispevke za socialno varnost.
This plan was approved by the Authority by decision of 12 November 2003 and implied that the Hurtigruten companies' social security costs increased in 2004 compared to what was the case when the Hurtigruten Agreement was negotiated.
Ta načrt je Nadzorni organ odobril z odločbo z dne 12. novembra 2003 in je pomenil, da so se stroški socialnega zavarovanja podjetij Hurtigruten leta 2004 povišali v primerjavi z obdobjem, ko je bil dogovorjen Sporazum Hurtigruten.
Thus, it is clear that the extra social security costs incurred by the Hurtigruten companies in 2004 were not covered by the Hurtigruten Agreement, i.e. the compensation paid out on the basis of the Hurtigruten Agreement did not cover those additional costs.
Tako je jasno, da dodatni stroški socialnega zavarovanja podjetij Hurtigruten leta 2004 niso bili zajeti v Sporazumu Hurtigruten, kar pomeni, da nadomestilo, izplačano na podlagi Sporazuma Hurtigruten, teh dodatnih stroškov ni pokrilo.
Moreover, the transfer of additional funds in 2004 would only compensate the Hurtigruten companies for that part of the increased social security contributions which was not already compensated for as a result of the scheme concerning a 3-year transitional period.
Poleg tega bi prenos dodatnih sredstev leta 2004 nadomestil samo tisti del povišanih prispevkov za socialno varnost podjetij Hurtigruten, za katerega podjetji še nista prejeli nadomestila zaradi sheme v zvezi s triletnim prehodnim obdobjem.
Hence, the compensation for the increase in social security costs for 2004 granted on the basis of the Maritime Transport Guidelines did not result in any over-compensation.
Pri nadomestilu za povišanje stroškov socialne varnosti leta 2004 na podlagi Smernic za pomorski promet tako ni bilo čezmernega nadomestila.
On the basis of the above, the Authority concludes that the compensation for additional social security costs granted to the Hurtigruten companies for 2004 is compatible with Article 61(3)(c) of the EEA Agreement read in conjunction with the Maritime Transport Guidelines.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega Nadzorni organ ugotavlja, da je nadomestilo za dodatne stroške socialnega zavarovanja, odobreno podjetjema Hurtigruten za leto 2004, združljivo s členom 61(3)(c) Sporazuma EGP v povezavi s Smernicami za pomorski promet.
In light of the foregoing considerations, the Authority concludes that the compensation of NOK 7,352 million (approximately EUR 900000) granted to the Hurtigruten companies is compatible with Article 61(3)(c)of the EEA Agreement.
Glede na navedene preudarke Nadzorni organ ugotavlja, da je nadomestilo v višini 7,352 milijona NOK (približno 900000 EUR), odobreno podjetjema Hurtigruten, združljivo s členom 61(3)(c) Sporazuma EGP.
The Authority regrets, however, that the Norwegian authorities did not respect their obligations pursuant to Article 1(3) in Part I of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement to notify the measure and to refrain from putting it into effect until it was approved by the Authority,
Nadzorni organ obžaluje, da norveški organi niso spoštovali svojih obveznosti na podlagi člena 1(3) dela I Protokola 3 k Sporazumu o nadzornem organu in sodišču, da priglasijo ukrep in se vzdržijo njegove izvedbe, dokler ga ne odobri Nadzorni organ –
The compensation amounting to NOK 7,352 million granted to the Hurtigruten companies constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.
Nadomestilo, ki znaša 7,352 milijona NOK, odobreno podjetjema Hurtigruten, pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP.
The aid was awarded in contravention of the procedural requirements of Article 1(3) in Part I of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement.
Pomoč je bila dodeljena v nasprotju s postopkovnimi zahtevami člena 1(3) dela I Protokola 3 k Sporazumu o nadzornem organu in sodišču.
The aid is compatible with Article 61(3)(c) of the EEA Agreement read in conjunction with the Maritime Transport Guidelines.
Pomoč je združljiva s členom 61(3)(c) Sporazuma EGP v povezavi s Smernicami za pomorski promet.

The transitional period did not apply to the very northernmost part of Norway (Zone 5 in the social security tax system), as the EFTA States by decision No 2/2003/SC of 1 July 2003 decided that the regionally differentiated social security contributions in this area were compatible with the EEA Agreement due to exceptional circumstances in this zone.
Prehodno obdobje ni veljalo za najsevernejši del Norveške (cona 5 v sistemu prispevkov za socialno varnost), saj so države Efte z odločbo št. 2/2003/SC z dne 1. julija 2003 sklenile, da so regionalno diferencirani prispevki za socialno varnost na tem območju združljivi s Sporazumom EGP zaradi izjemnih okoliščin v tej coni.
The comments to Post 70 read as follows: ‘Av budsjettforslaget på 200,8 mill. kr for 2004, er 192,3 mill. kr direkte relatert til den gjeldende avtalen med hurtigruterederiene.

Ro-ro ferries are defined as ‘seagoing passenger vessel[s] with facilities to enable road or rail vehicles to roll on and off the vessel, and carrying more than 12 passengers’, cf. footnote 22 of the Guidelines which refers to Council Directive 1999/35/EC of 29 April 1999 on a system of mandatory surveys for the safe operation of regular ro-ro ferry and high-speed passenger craft services (OJ L 138, 1.6.1999, p. 1), as incorporated at point 56 ca) in Annex XIII to the EEA Agreement.
Ro-ro trajekti so opredeljeni kot „potniško(-a) plovilo(-a) za morsko plovbo z možnostjo neposrednega vkrcanja in izkrcanja cestnih in železniških vozil ter prevoza več kot 12 potnikov“, glej opombo 22 Smernic, ki se sklicuje na Direktivo Sveta 1999/35/ES z dne 29. aprila 1999 o sistemu obveznih pregledov za varno izvajanje linijskih prevozov z ro-ro trajekti in visokohitrostnimi potniškimi plovili (UL L 138, 1.6.1999, str. 1), vključeno kot točka 56 ca) v Prilogi XIII k Sporazumu EGP.
The letter was received and registered by the Authority on 22 November 2004 (Event No 300326).
Nadzorni organ je dopis prejel in evidentiral 22. novembra 2004 (dogodek št. 300326).
The letter was received and registered by the Authority on 30 March 2006 (Event No 368446).
Nadzorni organ je dopis prejel in evidentiral 30. marca 2006 (dogodek št. 368446).
In that letter, the Authority proposed that Norway should take any legislative, administrative and other measures necessary to eliminate State aid resulting from the system of regionally differentiated social security contributions or render such aid compatible with the EEA Agreement with effect from 1 January 2004.
V tem dopisu je Nadzorni organ predlagal, naj Norveška sprejme vse zakonodajne, upravne in druge ukrepe, potrebne za odpravo državne pomoči, ki izhaja iz sistema regionalno diferenciranih prispevkov za socialno varnost, ali uskladi te pomoči s Sporazumom EGP z veljavnostjo od 1. januarja 2004.
However, the appropriate measures also stated that the Authority might agree to a later date should that be considered objectively necessary and justified by the Authority in order to allow an appropriate transition for the undertakings in question to the adjusted situation.
Vendar je bilo v ukrepih navedeno tudi, da lahko Nadzorni organ odobri poznejši datum, če meni, da je tak datum objektivno potreben in upravičen, zato da se omogoči ustrezen prehod podjetij na prilagojene razmere.
On 12 November 2003, the Authority authorised a 3-year transitional period for the regionally differentiated social security contributions in Zones 3 and 4 in order to achieve a smooth phasing out of the system [12].During the Autumn of 2003, the Norwegian Parliament adopted changes to the differentiated social security system which entered into force on 1 January 2004.
Nadzorni organ je 12. novembra 2003 odobril triletno prehodno obdobje za regionalno diferencirane prispevke za socialno varnost v conah 3 in 4, da se doseže nemotena postopna odprava sistema. [12]Jeseni 2003 je norveški parlament sprejel spremembe diferenciranega sistema socialne varnosti, ki so začele veljati 1. januarja 2004.
The changes led to higher social security costs for the Hurtigruten companies.
Zaradi sprememb sta imeli podjetji Hurtigruten višje stroške socialnega zavarovanja.
The operation of the service for the period 1 January 2005 to 31 December 2012 was the subject of a tender procedure in June 2004.
Za opravljanje storitev v obdobju od 1. januarja 2005 do 31. decembra 2012 je bil junija 2004 objavljen javni razpis.
The Hurtigruten companies won that tender and merged in March 2006 to form the entity now operating the service, Hurtigruten ASA.
Podjetji Hurtigruten sta na njem zmagali, se marca 2006 spojili v novo podjetje Hurtigruten ASA, in to zdaj opravlja storitve.
The compensation payment granted to the Hurtigruten companies was intended to compensate fully the increase in social security costs in 2004.
Plačilo nadomestila, odobrenega podjetjema Hurtigruten, naj bi v celoti nadomestilo višje stroške socialnega zavarovanja v letu 2004.
No distinction was made between the part of the social security costs pertaining to the commercial activities of the companies and those activities which might be considered a public service within the meaning of Article 59(2) of the EEA Agreement.
Pri tem se ni razlikovalo med delom stroškov socialnega zavarovanja, ki izhajajo iz gospodarske dejavnosti podjetij, ter delom stroškov iz tistih dejavnosti, ki jih je mogoče šteti za javne storitve v smislu člena 59(2) Sporazuma EGP.
In this respect, an amount of NOK 7,352 million (approximately EUR 900000) was in fact paid out to the Hurtigruten companies in 2004.
Tako je bilo leta 2004 podjetjema Hurtigruten dejansko izplačanih 7,352 milijona NOK (približno 900000 EUR).
This corresponds to the increased costs incurred by the companies due to the changes in the differentiated social security system.
To ustreza povišanim stroškom podjetij zaradi sprememb diferenciranega sistema socialne varnosti.
Finally, the Norwegian authorities refer to the fact that, following the tender procedure in 2004, the annual average compensation for the period 1 January 2005-31 December 2012 is NOK 237,5 million, and thus significantly higher than it was for the period from 1 January 2002 until 31 December 2004.
Norveški organi se nazadnje sklicujejo na dejstvo, da znaša po postopku javnega razpisa leta 2004 letno povprečno nadomestilo za obdobje od 1. januarja 2005 do 31. decembra 2012 237,5 milijona NOK, ki je tako bistveno višje, kot je bilo v obdobju od 1. januarja 2002 do 31. decembra 2004.
According to the Norwegian authorities this demonstrates that the level of compensation in 2004 was necessary and not disproportionate.
Po navedbah norveških organov to kaže, da je bila stopnja nadomestila leta 2004 potrebna in ni bila nesorazmerna.
