Since regional aid to large undertakings for their investments is unlikely to have an incentive effect, it cannot be regarded to be compatible with the internal market under Article 61(3)(c) of the EEA Agreement, unless it is granted for initial investments that create new economic activities in these areas [16], or for the diversification of existing establishments into new products or new process innovations.
Pomoč za tekoče poslovanje se lahko šteje za združljivo, če je njen namen zmanjšati nekatere posebne težave, s katerimi se MSP srečujejo na območjih s posebej omejenimi možnostmi, ki spadajo na področje uporabe člena 61(3)(a) Sporazuma EGP, oziroma preprečiti ali zmanjšati upad števila prebivalcev na zelo redko poseljenih območjih.
Regional aid aimed at reducing the current expenses of an undertaking constitutes operating aid and will not be regarded as compatible with the internal market, unless it is awarded to tackle specific or permanent handicaps faced by undertakings in disadvantaged regions.
Pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, dodeljena podjetjem, katerih glavna dejavnost spada na področje K „Finančne in zavarovalniške dejavnosti“ statistične klasifikacije gospodarskih dejavnosti NACE [17] Rev.
Operating aid may be considered compatible if it aims to reduce certain specific difficulties faced by SMEs in particularly disadvantaged areas falling within the scope of Article 61(3)(a) of the EEA Agreement, or to prevent or reduce depopulation in very sparsely populated areas.
2 [18], ali podjetjem, ki izvajajo dejavnosti znotraj skupine in katerih glavna dejavnost spada v razred 70.10 „Dejavnost uprav podjetij“ ali 70.22 „Drugo podjetniško in poslovno svetovanje“ NACE Rev.
Operating aid awarded to undertakings whose principal activity falls under Section K ‘Financial and insurance activities’ of the NACE [17] Rev. 2 statistical classification of economic activities [18] or to undertakings that perform intra-group activities and whose principal activity falls under classes 70.10 ‘Activities of head offices’ or 70.22 ‘Business and other management consultancy activities’ of NACE Rev. 2 will not be considered to be compatible with the internal market.
2, ne bo veljala za združljivo z notranjim trgom.
Regional aid may not be awarded to firms in difficulties, as defined for the purposes of these guidelines by the Authority's Guidelines on State aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty [19], as amended or replaced.
Regionalne pomoči prav tako ni mogoče dodeliti podjetjem v težavah, kot so za potrebe teh smernic opredeljena v smernicah Nadzornega organa o državni pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah [19], kakor so bile spremenjene ali nadomeščene.
When assessing regional aid awarded to an undertaking which is subject to an outstanding recovery order following a previous Authority decision declaring an aid illegal and incompatible with the internal market, the Authority will take account of the amount of aid still to be recovered [20].
Pri oceni regionalne pomoči, dodeljene podjetju, ki je predmet neporavnanega naloga za izterjavo, izdanega po pretekli odločbi Nadzornega organa, s katero je bila pomoč razglašena za nezakonito in nezdružljivo z notranjim trgom, bo Nadzorni organ upošteval znesek pomoči, ki ga je še treba izterjati [20].

SKUPNA NAČELA OCENJEVANJA
NOTIFIABLE REGIONAL AID
Za oceno, ali se priglašeni ukrep pomoči lahko šteje za združljivega z notranjim trgom, Nadzorni organ na splošno analizira, ali zasnova ukrepa pomoči zagotavlja, da pozitiven učinek pomoči pri doseganju cilja skupnega interesa presega morebitne negativne učinke na trgovino in konkurenco.
In principle, EFTA States must notify regional aid pursuant to Article 1(3) of Part I of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement, with the exception of measures that fulfil the conditions laid down in a block exemption regulation incorporated in the EEA Agreement through Annex XV.
V sporočilu Komisije o posodobitvi področja državnih pomoči z dne 8. maja 2012, navedenem v uvodnem delu teh smernic, se je pozvalo k določitvi in opredelitvi skupnih načel, ki bi se uporabljala za oceno združljivosti vseh ukrepov pomoči, ki jih izvede Komisija.
The Authority will apply these guidelines to notified regional aid schemes and individual aid.
Enaka skupna načela se uporabljajo za oceno združljivosti, ki jo izvede Nadzorni organ.
Individual aid granted under a notified scheme remains subject to the notification obligation pursuant to Article 1(3) of Part I of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement, if the aid from all sources exceeds the notification threshold [23] or if it is granted to a beneficiary that has closed down the same or similar activity in the EEA two years preceding the date of applying for aid or at the moment of aid application has the intention to close down such an activity within a period of two years after the investment to be subsidised is completed.
V ta namen bo Nadzorni organ štel, da je ukrep pomoči združljiv s Sporazumom EGP le, če izpolnjuje vsa naslednja merila:
Investment aid granted to a large undertaking to diversify an existing establishment in an ‘c’ area into new products, remains subject to the notification obligation pursuant to Article 1(3) of Part I of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement.
prispevek k natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa:
COMPATIBILITY ASSESSMENT OF REGIONAL AID
ukrep državne pomoči mora biti usmerjen v cilj skupnega interesa v skladu s členom 61(3) Sporazuma EGP (oddelek 3.2);
COMMON ASSESSMENT PRINCIPLES
potreba po posredovanju države:
To assess whether a notified aid measure can be considered compatible with the internal market, the Authority generally analyses whether the design of the aid measure ensures that the positive impact of the aid towards an objective of common interest exceeds its potential negative effects on trade and competition.
ukrep državne pomoči mora biti usmerjen v primere, ko pomoč lahko prispeva k pomembnim izboljšavam, ki jih trg sam ne more doseči, na primer z odpravo tržne pomanjkljivosti ali obravnavanjem pomislekov glede enakosti ali kohezije (oddelek 3.3);
The Commission's Communication on State aid modernisation of 8 May 2012, referred to in the introductory section of these guidelines, called for the identification and definition of common principles applicable to the assessment of compatibility of all the aid measures carried out by the Commission.
ustreznost ukrepa pomoči:
The same common principles apply to the compatibility assessment carried out by the Authority.
predlagani ukrep pomoči mora biti ustrezen instrument politike, ki obravnava cilj skupnega interesa (oddelek 3.4);
For this purpose, the Authority will consider an aid measure compatible with the EEA Agreement only if it satisfies each of the following criteria:
spodbujevalni učinek:
contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest:
pomoč mora spremeniti ravnanje zadevnih podjetij tako, da se začnejo ukvarjati z dodatno dejavnostjo, ki je ne bi izvajala brez pomoči oziroma bi jo izvajala na omejen ali drugačen način oziroma na drugi lokaciji (oddelek 3.5);
a State aid measure must aim at an objective of common interest in accordance with Article 61(3) EEA Agreement (Section 3.2);
sorazmernost pomoči (pomoč, omejena na najmanjšo potrebno):
need for state intervention:
znesek pomoči mora biti omejen na najmanjši znesek, potreben za spodbuditev dodatne naložbe ali dejavnosti na zadevnem območju (oddelek 3.6);
a State aid measure must be targeted towards a situation where aid can bring about a material improvement that the market cannot deliver itself, for example by remedying a market failure or addressing an equity or cohesion concern (Section 3.3);
izogibanje neprimernim negativnim učinkom na konkurenco in trgovino med državami EGP:
appropriateness of the aid measure:
negativni učinki pomoči morajo biti dovolj omejeni, tako da je splošen rezultat ukrepa pozitiven (oddelek 3.7);
the proposed aid measure must be an appropriate policy instrument to address the objective of common interest (Section 3.4);
preglednost pomoči:
incentive effect:
države EGP, Nadzorni organ, gospodarski subjekti in javnost morajo imeti preprost dostop do vseh ustreznih aktov in zadevnih informacij o pomoči, ki se dodeli v skladu z njimi (oddelek 3.8).
the aid must change the behaviour of the undertaking(s) concerned in such a way that it engages in additional activity which it would not carry out without the aid or it would carry out in a restricted or different manner or location (Section 3.5);
Za splošne rezultate nekaterih kategorij shem se lahko dodatno zahteva naknadno vrednotenje, kot je opisano v oddelku 4 teh smernic.
proportionality of the aid (aid to the minimum):
V teh primerih lahko Nadzorni organ omeji trajanje teh shem (običajno na štiri leta ali manj) z možnostjo naknadne ponovne priglasitve njihovega podaljšanja.
the aid amount must be limited to the minimum needed to induce the additional investment or activity in the area concerned (Section 3.6);
Pomoč se ne more šteti za združljivo z notranjim trgom, če ukrep državne pomoči ali z njim povezani pogoji (vključno z metodo njegovega financiranja, kadar je ta metoda sestavni del ukrepa državne pomoči) pomenijo kršitev prava EGP [24].
avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade between EEA States:
Pri ocenjevanju združljivosti individualne pomoči z notranjim trgom bo Nadzorni organ upošteval vse postopke v zvezi s kršitvijo člena 53 ali 54 Sporazuma EGP, ki lahko zadevajo upravičenca do pomoči in so lahko pomembni za njegovo oceno v skladu s členom 61(3) Sporazuma EGP [25].
the negative effects of aid must be sufficiently limited, so that the overall balance of the measure is positive (Section 3.7);
PRISPEVEK K SKUPNEMU CILJU
transparency of aid:
Primarni cilj regionalne pomoči je zmanjšati razvojne razlike med različnimi regijami v EGP.
EEA States, the Authority, economic operators, and the public, must have easy access to all relevant acts and to pertinent information about the aid awarded thereunder (Section 3.8).
Prek cilja spodbujanja enakosti ali kohezije regionalna pomoč lahko prispeva k doseganju strategije Evropa 2020 s prispevkom k vključujoči in trajnostni rasti.
The overall balance of certain categories of schemes may further be made subject to a requirement of ex post evaluation as described in Section 4 of these guidelines.
Sheme pomoči za naložbe
In such cases, the Authority may limit the duration of those schemes (normally to four years or less) with a possibility to re-notify their prolongation afterwards.
Sheme regionalne pomoči bi morale biti sestavni del regionalne razvojne strategije z jasno določenimi cilji ter bi morale biti skladne s temi cilji in prispevati k njihovemu doseganju.
If a State aid measure or the conditions attached to it (including its financing method when the financing method forms an integral part of the State aid measure) entail a non-severable violation of EEA law, the aid cannot be declared compatible with the internal market [24].
Na območjih „c“ se lahko sheme vzpostavijo v podporo začetnim naložbam MSP in začetnim naložbam velikih podjetij za potrebe nove dejavnosti.
In assessing the compatibility of any individual aid with the internal market, the Authority will take account of any proceedings concerning infringement to Articles 53 or 54 of the EEA Agreement which may concern the beneficiary of the aid and which may be relevant for its assessment under Article 61(3) of the EEA Agreement [25].
Za zagotovitev, da naložba resnično in trajno prispeva k razvoju zadevnega območja, mora biti naložba na zadevnem območju ohranjena najmanj pet let (oziroma tri leta za MSP) po zaključku naložbe [27].
CONTRIBUTION TO A COMMON OBJECTIVE
Če je pomoč izračunana na podlagi stroškov plač, morajo biti delovna mesta zasedena v treh letih po zaključku del.
The primary objective of regional aid is to reduce the development gap between the different regions in the EEA.
Vsako delovno mesto, ustvarjeno z naložbo, mora biti na zadevnem območju ohranjeno pet let od datuma, ko je bilo delovno mesto prvič zasedeno.
Through its equity or cohesion objective regional aid may contribute to the achievement of the Europe 2020 strategy delivering an inclusive and sustainable growth.
Za naložbe vseh MSP lahko države Efte to petletno obdobje za ohranjanje naložbe ali ustvarjenih delovnih mest skrajšajo na najmanj tri leta.
