In ‘c’ areas schemes may be put in place to support initial investments of SMEs and initial investment in favour of new activity of large undertakings.
Priglašena individualna pomoč za naložbe
When awarding aid to individual investment projects on the basis of a scheme, the granting authority must confirm that the selected project will contribute towards the objective of the scheme and thus towards the development strategy of the area concerned.
Za dokazovanje regionalnega prispevka individualne pomoči za naložbe, priglašene Nadzornemu organu, lahko države Efte uporabijo različne kazalnike, kot so kazalniki, navedeni v nadaljevanju, ki so lahko neposredni (na primer neposredno ustvarjena nova delovna mesta) in posredni (na primer inovacije na lokalni ravni):
For this purpose, EFTA States can rely on the information provided by the applicant for aid in the form annexed to these guidelines where the positive effects of the investment on the area concerned must be described [26].
število delovnih mest, ki jih naložba neposredno ustvari, je pomemben kazalnik prispevka k regionalnemu razvoju.
To ensure that the investment makes a real and sustained contribution to the development of the area concerned, the investment must be maintained in the area concerned for at least five years, or three years for SMEs, after its completion [27].
Upoštevati je treba tudi kakovost ustvarjenih delovnih mest in zahtevano stopnjo znanja;
If the aid is calculated on the basis of wage costs, the posts must be filled within three years of the completion of works.
še več novih delovnih mest se lahko ustvari v okviru lokalne mreže (pod)dobaviteljev, kar omogoča boljšo vključitev naložb v zadevno regijo in zagotavlja širše učinke prelivanja.
Each job created through the investment must be maintained within the area concerned for a period of five years from the date the post was first filled.
Zato bo treba upoštevati tudi število posredno ustvarjenih delovnih mest;
For investments carried out by all SMEs, EFTA States may reduce this five-year period for the maintenance of an investment or jobs to a minimum of three years.
zavezanost upravičenca, da se vključi v razširjene dejavnosti usposabljanja za izboljšanje (splošnih in posebnih) spretnosti in znanj njegove delovne sile, se bo upoštevala kot dejavnik, ki prispeva k regionalnemu razvoju.
To ensure that the investment is viable, the EFTA State must ensure that the beneficiary provides a financial contribution of at least 25 % of the eligible costs, through its own resources or by external financing, in a form that is exempted of any public financial support [28].
Poudarek bo tudi na zagotavljanju pripravništev ali vajeništev, zlasti za mlade, ter na usposabljanju, ki izboljšuje znanje in zaposljivost delavcev zunaj podjetja.
To avoid that State aid measures would lead to environmental harm, EFTA States must also ensure compliance with EEA environmental legislation, including in particular the need to carry out an environmental impact assessment when required by law and ensure all relevant permits.
Splošno ali posebno usposabljanje, za katero je odobrena pomoč za usposabljanje, se ne bo štelo kot pozitiven učinek regionalne pomoči, da se prepreči dvojno štetje;
Notified individual investment aid
zunanja ekonomija obsega ali druge koristi z vidika regionalnega razvoja so lahko posledica bližine (učinek grozdov).
To demonstrate the regional contribution of individual investment aid notified to the Authority, EFTA States may use a variety of indicators such as the ones mentioned below that can be both direct (for example, direct jobs created) and indirect (for example, local innovation):
Povezovanje podjetij iz iste industrije v grozde posameznim obratom omogoča večjo specializacijo, kar povzroča večjo učinkovitost.
The number of direct jobs created by the investment is an important indicator of the contribution to regional development.
Vendar je pomembnost tega kazalnika pri določanju prispevka k regionalnemu razvoju odvisna od stopnje razvoja grozda;
The quality of the jobs created and the required skill level should also be considered.
naložbe vključujejo tehnično znanje in so lahko vir pomembnega prenosa tehnologije (prelivanje znanja).
An even higher number of new jobs might be created in the local (sub-) supplier network, helping to better integrate the investment in the region concerned and ensuring more widespread spillover effects.
Pri naložbah v okviru tehnološko intenzivnih industrij je večja verjetnost, da bodo vključevale prenos tehnologije v regijo prejemnico.
The number of indirect jobs created will therefore also be taken into account.
V zvezi s tem sta pomembna tudi stopnja in specifičnost razširjanja znanja;
A commitment by the beneficiary to enter into widespread training activities to improve the skills (general and specific) of its workforce will be considered as a factor that contributes to regional development.
upošteva se lahko tudi prispevek projektov k sposobnosti regije, da prek inovacij na lokalni ravni ustvarja novo tehnologijo.
Emphasis will also be put on providing traineeships or apprenticeships, especially for young people and on training that improves the knowledge and employability of workers outside the undertaking.
V zvezi s tem je lahko sodelovanje novih proizvodnih obratov z lokalnimi visokošolskimi institucijami pozitivno;
General or specific training for which training aid is approved will not be counted as a positive effect of the regional aid to avoid double counting.
trajanje naložbe in morebitne nadaljnje naložbe v prihodnosti so znak trajne vključenosti podjetja v zadevno regijo.
External economies of scale or other benefits from a regional development viewpoint may arise as a result of proximity (clustering effect).
Države Efte se lahko sklicujejo tudi na poslovni načrt upravičenca do pomoči, ki bi lahko zagotovil informacije o številu pričakovanih ustvarjenih delovnih mest, pričakovanih izplačanih plačah (povečanje finančnega premoženja gospodinjstev kot učinek prelivanja), obsegu nabave od lokalnih proizvajalcev ter prometu, ki ga je ustvarila naložba in je morda prek dodatnih davčnih prihodkov koristil območju.
Clustering of undertakings in the same industry allows individual plants to specialise more, which leads to increased efficiency.
Za ad hoc pomoč [29] mora država Efte poleg zahtev iz odstavkov 33 do 37 dokazati, da je projekt usklajen z razvojno strategijo zadevnega območja in prispeva k njej.
However, the importance of this indicator in determining the contribution to regional development depends on the state of development of the cluster.
Sheme pomoči za tekoče poslovanje
Investments embody technical knowledge and can be the source of a significant transfer of technology (knowledge spillovers).
Sheme pomoči za tekoče poslovanje bodo spodbujale razvoj območij z omejenimi možnostmi le, če se izzivi, s katerimi se srečujejo ta območja, jasno opredelijo vnaprej.
Investments taking place in technology intensive industries are more likely to involve technology transfer to the recipient region.
Te ovire pri privabljanju in ohranjanju gospodarske dejavnosti so lahko tako resne ali trajne, da sama pomoč za naložbe ne zadostuje za razvoj teh območij.
The level and the specificity of the knowledge dissemination are also important in this regard.
Kar zadeva pomoč za zmanjšanje nekaterih posebnih težav, s katerimi se srečujejo MSP na območjih „a“, morajo zadevne države Efte dokazati obstoj in obseg teh posebnih težav ter, da je shema pomoči za tekoče poslovanje potrebna, ker teh posebnih težav ni mogoče odpraviti s pomočjo za naložbe.
The projects' contribution to the region's ability to create new technology through local innovation can also be considered.
Kar zadeva pomoč za tekoče poslovanje za preprečevanje ali zmanjšanje upada števila prebivalstva na zelo redko poseljenih območjih, mora zadevna država Efte dokazati, da odsotnost pomoči za tekoče poslovanje pomeni tveganje upada števila prebivalstva na zadevnem območju.
Cooperation of the new production facility with local higher education institutions can be considered positively in this respect.
POTREBA PO POSREDOVANJU DRŽAVE
The duration of the investment and possible future follow-on investments are an indication of a durable engagement of a company in the region concerned.
Da bi se ocenilo, ali je državna pomoč potrebna za doseganje cilja skupnega interesa, je najprej treba opredeliti težavo, ki jo je treba obravnavati.
EFTA States can also refer to the business plan of the aid beneficiary which could provide information on the number of jobs to be created, salaries to be paid (increase in household wealth as spill-over effect), volume of acquisition from local producers, turnover generated by the investment and benefiting the area possibly through additional tax revenues.
Državna pomoč mora biti usmerjena v primere, ko pomoč lahko prispeva k pomembnim izboljšavam, ki jih trg sam ne more doseči.
For ad hoc aid [29], the EFTA State must demonstrate, in addition to the requirements laid down in paragraphs (33) to (37), that the project is coherent with and contributes towards the development strategy of the area concerned.
To še zlasti velja, kadar so na voljo omejena javna sredstva.
Operating aid schemes
Ukrepi državne pomoči lahko pod nekaterimi pogoji dejansko odpravijo tržne pomanjkljivosti ter tako prispevajo k učinkovitemu delovanju trgov in izboljšanju konkurenčnosti.
Operating aid schemes will promote the development of disadvantaged areas only if the challenges facing these areas are clearly identified in advance.
Poleg tega se lahko državna pomoč v primerih, ko trgi zagotavljajo učinkovite rezultate, vendar se ti štejejo za nezadostne z vidika enakosti ali kohezije, uporabi za zagotovitev bolj zaželenih, pravičnih tržnih rezultatov.
The obstacles to attracting or maintaining economic activity may be so severe or permanent that investment aid alone is not sufficient to allow the development of those areas.
Kar zadeva pomoč, dodeljeno za razvoj območij, vključenih v karto regionalne pomoči v skladu s pravili iz oddelka 5 teh smernic, Nadzorni organ meni, da trg brez posredovanja države ne izpolnjuje pričakovanih ciljev kohezije iz Sporazuma EGP.
As regards aid to reduce certain specific difficulties faced by SMEs in ‘a’ areas, the EFTA States concerned must demonstrate the existence and importance of those specific difficulties and must demonstrate that an operating aid scheme is needed as those specific difficulties cannot be overcome with investment aid.
Zato bi se morala pomoč, dodeljena na teh območjih, šteti za združljivo z notranjim trgom v skladu s členom 61(3)(a) in (c) Sporazuma EGP.
As regards operating aid to prevent or reduce depopulation in very sparsely populated areas, the EFTA State concerned must demonstrate the risk of depopulation of the relevant area in the absence of the operating aid.
USTREZNOST REGIONALNE POMOČI
NEED FOR STATE INTERVENTION
Priglašeni ukrep pomoči mora biti ustrezen instrument politike, ki obravnava zadevni cilj politike.
In order to assess whether State aid is necessary to achieve the objective of common interest, it is necessary first to diagnose the problem to be addressed.
Ukrep pomoči se ne šteje za združljivega, če je enak pozitiven prispevek k regionalnemu razvoju mogoče doseči z drugimi, manj izkrivljajočimi instrumenti politike, ali drugimi, manj izkrivljajočimi vrstami instrumentov pomoči.
State aid should be targeted towards situations where aid can bring about a material improvement that the market cannot deliver itself.
Ustreznost glede na druge instrumente politike
This holds especially in a context of scarce public resources.
Regionalna pomoč za naložbe ni edini instrument politike, ki je na voljo državam Efte za podpiranje naložb in ustvarjanje delovnih mest v regijah z omejenimi možnostmi.
State aid measures can indeed, under certain conditions, correct market failures thereby contributing to the efficient functioning of markets and enhancing competitiveness.
Države Efte lahko uporabijo druge ukrepe, kot je razvoj infrastrukture, izboljšanje kakovosti izobraževanja in usposabljanja ali izboljšave poslovnega okolja.
Furthermore, where markets provide efficient outcomes but these are deemed unsatisfactory from an equity or cohesion point of view, State aid may be used to obtain a more desirable, equitable market outcome.
Države Efte morajo navesti, zakaj je regionalna pomoč ustrezen instrument za doseganje skupnega cilja enakosti ali kohezije, če shemo uvajajo zunaj operativnega programa, ki se financira iz sredstev kohezijske politike.
As regards aid granted for the development of areas included in the regional aid map in accordance with the rules developed in Section 5 of these guidelines, the Authority considers that the market is not delivering the expected cohesion objectives set out in the EEA Agreement without state intervention.
Nadzorni organ bo zlasti upošteval morebitne ocene učinkov predlagane sheme pomoči, ki jih lahko da na voljo država Efte.
Therefore, aid granted in those areas should be considered compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 61(3)(a) and (c) of the EEA Agreement.
Prav tako se lahko upoštevajo rezultati naknadnih vrednotenj, opisanih v oddelku 4, da se oceni ustreznost predlagane sheme.
APPROPRIATENESS OF REGIONAL AID
Individualna pomoč za naložbe
The notified aid measure must be an appropriate policy instrument to address the policy objective concerned.
Za ad hoc pomoč mora država Efte dokazati, da takšna pomoč bolje prispeva k razvoju zadevnega območja kot pomoč v okviru sheme ali ukrepi druge vrste.
An aid measure will not be considered compatible if other less distortive policy instruments or other less distortive types of aid instrument make it possible to achieve the same positive contribution to regional development.
Država Efte mora dokazati, da je pomoč ustrezna za doseganje cilja sheme glede na težave, ki naj bi jih odpravljala.
Appropriateness among alternative policy instruments
Kot dokaz o ustreznosti pomoči lahko država Efte vnaprej izračuna znesek pomoči kot fiksen znesek za kritje pričakovanih dodatnih stroškov v določenem obdobju ter tako spodbudi podjetja, da omejijo stroške in sčasoma razvijejo poslovanje na bolj učinkovit način [30].
Regional investment aid is not the only policy instrument available to EFTA States to support investment and job creation in disadvantaged regions.
Ustreznost glede na različne instrumente pomoči
EFTA States can use other measures such as infrastructure development, enhancing the quality of education and training, or improvements in the business environment.
Regionalna pomoč se lahko dodeli v različnih oblikah.
EFTA States must indicate why regional aid is an appropriate instrument to tackle the common objective of equity or cohesion when introducing a scheme outside an operational programme financed from the cohesion policy funds.
Vendar morajo države Efte zagotoviti, da se pomoč dodeli v obliki, ki bo verjetno povzročila najmanjše izkrivljanje trgovine in konkurence.
The Authority will in particular take account of any impact assessments of the proposed aid scheme that the EFTA State may make available.
Če je pomoč dodeljena v oblikah, ki zagotavljajo neposredno denarno korist (na primer neposredna nepovratna sredstva, davčne oprostitve ali znižanja davkov, prispevki za socialno varnost ali drugi obvezni prispevki ali dobava zemljišča, blaga ali storitev po ugodnih cenah itd.), mora država Efte dokazati, zakaj niso ustrezne druge, po možnosti manj izkrivljajoče oblike pomoči, kot so vračljiva predplačila ali oblike pomoči, ki temeljijo na dolžniških ali kapitalskih instrumentih (na primer posojila z nizko obrestno mero ali popust na obresti, državna jamstva, nakup lastniških deležev ali drugačen način zagotavljanja kapitala pod ugodnimi pogoji).
Likewise, the results of ex post evaluations as described in Section 4 may be taken into account to assess the appropriateness of the proposed scheme.
Pri shemah pomoči za izvajanje ciljev in prednostnih nalog operativnih programov se za ustrezen instrument šteje instrument financiranja, izbran v zadevnem programu.
Individual investment aid
Rezultati naknadnih vrednotenj, opisanih v oddelku 4, se lahko upoštevajo, da se oceni ustreznost predlaganega instrumenta pomoči.
For ad hoc aid, the EFTA State must demonstrate how the development of the area concerned is better ensured by such aid than by aid under a scheme or other types of measures.
SPODBUJEVALNI UČINEK
The EFTA State must demonstrate that the aid is appropriate to achieve the objective of the scheme for the problems that the aid is intended to address.
Regionalna pomoč se lahko šteje za združljivo z notranjim trgom le, če ima spodbujevalni učinek.
To demonstrate that the aid is appropriate, the EFTA State may calculate the aid amount ex ante as a fixed sum covering the expected additional costs over a given period, to incentivise undertakings to contain costs and develop their business in a more efficient manner over time [30].
Spodbujevalni učinek nastopi, ko se zaradi pomoči spremeni ravnanje podjetja tako, da se to začne ukvarjati z dodatno dejavnostjo, ki prispeva k razvoju območja, pri čemer se s to dejavnostjo brez pomoči ne bi začelo ukvarjati oziroma bi jo opravljalo na omejen ali drugačen način ali na drugi lokaciji.
Appropriateness among different aid instruments
Pomoč ne sme subvencionirati stroškov dejavnosti, ki bi jih podjetje imelo v vsakem primeru, in ne sme biti nadomestilo za običajno poslovno tveganje gospodarske dejavnosti.
Regional aid can be awarded in various forms.
Obstoj spodbujevalnega učinka se lahko dokazuje v okviru dveh scenarijev:
The EFTA State should however ensure that the aid is awarded in the form that is likely to generate the least distortions of trade and competition.
pomoč spodbuja sprejetje pozitivne odločitve o naložbah, ker se lahko naložba, ki sicer za upravičenca ne bi bila dovolj donosna, izvede na zadevnem območju [31] (scenarij 1, odločitev o naložbi), ali
In this respect, if the aid is awarded in forms that provide a direct pecuniary advantage (for example, direct grants, exemptions or reductions in taxes, social security or other compulsory charges, or the supply of land, goods or services at favourable prices, etc.), the EFTA State must demonstrate why other potentially less distortive forms of aid such as repayable advances or forms of aid that are based on debt or equity instruments (for example, low-interest loans or interest rebates, state guarantees, the purchase of a share-holding or an alternative provision of capital on favourable terms) are not appropriate.
pomoč spodbuja izbor lokacije načrtovane naložbe na zadevnem območju in ne drugje, ker izravna neto pomanjkljivosti in stroške, povezane z lokacijo na zadevnem območju (scenarij 2, odločitev o lokaciji).
For aid schemes implementing the objectives and priorities of operational programmes, the financing instrument chosen in this programme is considered to be an appropriate instrument.
Če pomoč ne spremeni ravnanja upravičenca s spodbujanjem (dodatnih) naložb na zadevnem območju, je mogoče sklepati, da bi bila ista naložba v regiji izvedena tudi brez pomoči.
The results of ex post evaluations as described in Section 4 may be taken into account to assess the appropriateness of the proposed aid instrument.
Takšna pomoč nima spodbujevalnega učinka za doseganje regionalnega cilja in je ni mogoče odobriti kot združljive z notranjim trgom.
INCENTIVE EFFECT
Vendar se za regionalno pomoč, dodeljeno prek skladov kohezijske politike, v regijah „a“ za naložbe, ki so potrebne za doseganje standardov, določenih z zakonodajo EGP, lahko šteje, da ima spodbujevalni učinek, če ob odsotnosti pomoči naložba na zadevnem območju ne bi bila dovolj donosna za upravičenca, kar bi povzročilo zaprtje obstoječe poslovne enote na tem območju.
Regional aid can only be found compatible with the internal market, if it has an incentive effect.
Dela v zvezi z individualno naložbo se lahko začnejo šele po vložitvi obrazca zahtevka za pomoč.
An incentive effect is present when the aid changes the behaviour of an undertaking in a way it engages in additional activity contributing to the development of an area which it would not have engaged in without the aid or would only have engaged in such activity in a restricted or different manner or in another location.
Če se dela začnejo pred vložitvijo obrazca zahtevka za pomoč, se pomoč, dodeljena v zvezi z zadevno individualno naložbo, ne bo štela za združljivo z notranjim trgom.
The aid must not subsidise the costs of an activity that an undertaking would have incurred in any event and must not compensate for the normal business risk of an economic activity.
Države Efte morajo uvesti standardni obrazec zahtevka za pomoč, ki je priložen tem smernicam [32].
The existence of an incentive effect can be proven in two possible scenarios:
Na obrazcu morajo MSP in velika podjetja hipotetično pojasniti, kaj bi se zgodilo brez pomoči, in sicer tako, da navedejo, kateri od scenarijev iz odstavka 57 bi se uporabljal.
The aid gives an incentive to adopt a positive investment decision because an investment that would otherwise not be sufficiently profitable for the beneficiary can take place in the area concerned [31] (scenario 1, investment decision) or
Organ, ki dodeljuje pomoč, mora preveriti verodostojnost hipotetičnega scenarija in potrditi, da ima regionalna pomoč zahtevani spodbujevalni učinek, ki ustreza enemu od scenarijev iz odstavka 57.
The aid gives an incentive to opt to locate a planned investment in the relevant area rather than elsewhere because it compensates for the net disadvantages and costs linked to a location in the area concerned (scenario 2, location decision).
Hipotetični scenarij je verodostojen, če je resničen in se nanaša na dejavnike odločanja, ki prevladujejo v času odločitve upravičenca glede naložbe.
If the aid does not change the behaviour of the beneficiary by stimulating (additional) investment in the area concerned, it can be considered that the same investment would take place in the region even without the aid.
Poleg zahtev iz odstavkov 60 do 64 mora država Efte za priglašeno individualno pomoč [33] zagotoviti jasne dokaze, da ta dejansko vpliva na izbiro naložbe ali lokacije [34].
Such aid lacks incentive effect to achieve the regional objective and cannot be approved as compatible with the internal market.
Navesti mora, kateri scenarij iz odstavka 57 se uporablja.
However, for regional aid awarded through cohesion policy funds in ‘a’ regions to investments necessary to achieve standards set by EEA law, the aid may be considered to have an incentive effect, if in absence of the aid, it would not have been sufficiently profitable for the beneficiary to make the investment in the area concerned, thereby leading to the closure of an existing establishment in that area.
Država Efte mora za celovito oceno poleg informacij v zvezi s projektom, ki prejme pomoč, predložiti tudi celovit opis hipotetičnega scenarija, po katerem upravičencu noben javni organ v EGP ne bi dodelil pomoči.
Works on an individual investment can start only after submitting the application form for aid.
Pri scenariju 1 bi država Efte lahko dokazala obstoj spodbujevalnega učinka pomoči s predložitvijo dokumentov podjetja, ki kažejo, da naložba brez pomoči ne bi bila dovolj donosna.
In the application form, SMEs and large companies must explain counterfactually what would have happened had they not received the aid indicating which of the scenarios described in paragraph (57) applies.
Države Efte so zlasti pozvane, naj se opirajo na uradne dokumente uprav podjetij, ocene tveganja (vključno z oceno tveganja, povezanega z določeno lokacijo), finančna poročila, notranje poslovne načrte, mnenja strokovnjakov in druge študije, povezane z naložbenim projektom, ki se ocenjuje.
