These types of networks are able to sustain both basic and NGA types of networks [71] it is the (investment) choice of the telecommunication operators what type of ‘last mile’ infrastructure they wish to connect to the backhaul network [72].
Za oceno tržne nepopolnosti in ciljev lastniškega kapitala se lahko razlikuje med dvema vrstama ciljnih območij.
Public authorities may also decide to undertake just civil engineering works (such as digging on public land, construction of ducts) in order to enable and accelerate the deployment by the operators concerned of their own network elements.
To razlikovanje je obrazloženo v nadaljevanju.
Furthermore, when suitable, public authorities might also wish to take satellite solutions into account.
Pri opredelitvi ciljnih območij se v primeru, da je javno posredovanje omejeno na zaledni del omrežja, v okviru ocene državne pomoči upoštevajo razmere na zalednih trgih kot tudi na trgih dostopa [73].
The distinction between white, grey and black areas for basic broadband networks
Različni standardi za utemeljitev javnega posredovanja na teh geografskih območjih so opisani spodaj.
In order to assess market failure and equity objectives, a distinction can be made between the types of areas that may be targeted.
Za namene opredelitve geografskih območij kot belih, sivih ali črnih lis, kakor je opisano v nadaljevanju, mora organ, ki dodeljuje pomoč, ugotoviti, ali širokopasovna infrastruktura že obstaja v ciljnem območju.
This distinction is explained in the following sections.
Da se zagotovi, da javno posredovanje ne ovira zasebnih naložb, bi morali organi, ki dodeljujejo pomoč, tudi preveriti, ali imajo zasebni vlagatelji konkretne načrte za postavitev lastne infrastrukture v bližnji prihodnosti.
In the identification of the targeted areas, whenever the public intervention is limited to the backhaul part of the network, the state aid assessment will take into account the situation on both the backhaul markets and the access markets [73].
Izraz „bližnja prihodnost“ je treba razumeti kot triletno obdobje [74].
The different standards to justify public interventions in these geographical areas will be described below.
Če organ, ki dodeljuje pomoč, določi daljši časovni okvir za postavitev subvencionirane infrastrukture, bi bilo treba enako obdobje nameniti oceni obstoja načrtov komercialnih naložb.
For the purpose of identifying the geographical areas as white, grey or black as described below, the aid granting authority needs to determine whether broadband infrastructures exist in the targeted area.
Organ, ki dodeljuje pomoč, z objavo povzetka načrtovanega ukrepa pomoči in s pozivom zainteresiranim stranem k predložitvi pripomb preveri, da ni zasebnih vlagateljev, ki bi v bližnji prihodnosti nameravali postaviti lastno infrastrukturo.
In order to further ensure that the public intervention does not disrupt private investments, the aid granting authorities should also verify whether private investors have concrete plans to roll out their own infrastructure in the near future.
Obstaja tveganje, da „izraženi interes“ zasebnega vlagatelja ovira zagotavljanje širokopasovnih storitev na ciljnem območju, če se ta naložba pozneje ne izvede, javno posredovanje pa se zavleče.
The term ‘near future’ should be understood as referring to a period of three years [74].
Organ, ki dodeljuje pomoč, lahko zato pred odložitvijo javnega posredovanja od zasebnega vlagatelja zahteva določene zaveze.
If the granting authority takes a longer time horizon for the deployment of the subsidised infrastructure, the same time horizon should also be used to assess the existence of commercial investment plans.
Te bi morale zagotoviti, da se v treh letih ali v daljšem obdobju, predvidenem za naložbo, ki prejme pomoč, doseže znaten napredek v smislu pokritosti.
To verify that there are no private investors planning to roll out their own infrastructure in the near future, the aid granting authority should publish a summary of the planned aid measure and invite interested parties to comment.
Od zadevnega operaterja lahko tudi zahteva, da sklene ustrezno pogodbo, v kateri so določene obveznosti v zvezi s postavitvijo omrežja.
There exists the risk that a mere ‘expression of interest’ by a private investor could delay delivery of broadband services in the target area if subsequently such investment does not take place while at the same time public intervention has been stalled.
V tej pogodbi se lahko določijo tudi „mejniki“, ki jih je treba doseči v tem triletnem obdobju [75], in obveznost poročanja o napredku.
The aid granting authority could therefore require certain commitments from the private investor before deferring the public intervention.
Če mejnik ni dosežen, lahko organ, ki dodeljuje pomoč, začne izvajati načrt javnih ukrepov.
These commitments should ensure that significant progress in terms of coverage will be made within the three-year period or for the longer period foreseen for the supported investment.
To pravilo velja za osnovna omrežja in dostopovna omrežja naslednje generacije.
It may further request the respective operator to enter into a corresponding contract which outlines the deployment commitments.
„Bele lise“:
This contract could foresee a number of ‘milestones’ which would have to be achieved during the three-year period [75] and reporting on the progress made.
spodbujanje ciljev teritorialne kohezije in gospodarskega razvoja
If a milestone is not achieved, the granting authority may then go ahead with its public intervention plans.
„Bele lise“ so območja, na katerih ni nobene širokopasovne infrastrukture niti ni verjetno, da bi bila ta v bližnji prihodnosti tam razvita.
This rule applies both for basic and for NGA networks.
Nadzorni organ se zato strinja, da države Efte z dodelitvijo finančne podpore za zagotavljanje širokopasovnih storitev na območjih, na katerih širokopasovna omrežja trenutno niso na voljo, uresničujejo konkretne cilje na področju kohezije in gospodarskega razvoja, zato je njihovo posredovanje verjetno v skladu s skupnim interesom, pod pogojem, da so izpolnjeni pogoji iz oddelka 3.4 v nadaljevanju [76].
‘White areas’:
„Sive lise“:
promoting territorial cohesion and the economic development objective
potrebna je podrobnejša ocena
‘White areas’ are those in which there is no broadband infrastructure and it is unlikely to be developed in the near future.
„Sive lise“ so območja, na katerih je prisoten en operater omrežja in ni verjetno, da bi bilo v bližnji prihodnosti tam razvito še eno omrežje [77].
The Authority acknowledges that by providing financial support for the provision of broadband services in areas where broadband is currently not available, EFTA States pursue genuine cohesion and economic development objectives and thus, their intervention is likely to be in line with the common interest, provided the conditions set out in Section 3.4 below are fulfilled [76].
Sam obstoj enega operaterja omrežja [78] na nekem območju še ne pomeni, da ni težav v zvezi s tržnimi nepopolnostmi ali kohezijo.
‘Grey areas’:
Če ima tak operater tržno moč (monopol), lahko državljanom zagotavlja kombinacijo kakovosti in cene storitev, ki ni optimalna.
need for a more detailed assessment
Lahko se zgodi, da nekaterim kategorijam uporabnikov niso zagotovljene ustrezne storitve ali da so v primeru, da cene grosističnega dostopa niso regulirane, maloprodajne cene v primerjavi s cenami enakih storitev, ki se zagotavljajo na konkurenčnejših, a drugače primerljivih območjih ali regijah v državi, višje.
‘Grey areas’ are those in which one network operator is present and another network [77] is unlikely to be developed in the near future.
Če poleg tega obstajajo le omejene možnosti, da bodo na trg vstopili drugi operaterji, je financiranje alternativne infrastrukture lahko ustrezen ukrep [79].
The mere existence of one network operator [78] does not necessarily imply that no market failure or cohesion problem exists.
Na območjih, na katerih je že prisoten en operater širokopasovnega omrežja, pa lahko subvencije za izgradnjo alternativnega omrežja izkrivljajo dinamičnost trga.
If that operator has market power (monopoly) it may provide citizens with a suboptimal combination of service quality and prices.
Zato je državna pomoč za postavitev širokopasovnih omrežij v „sivih“ lisah upravičena samo v primeru, ko je mogoče jasno dokazati, da tržna nepopolnost še vedno obstaja.
Certain categories of users may not be adequately served or, in the absence of regulated wholesale access tariffs, retail prices may be higher than those charged for the same services offered in more competitive but otherwise comparable areas or regions of the country.
V teh primerih sta potrebni podrobnejša analiza in natančna ocena združljivosti.
If, in addition, there are only limited prospects that alternative operators enter the market, the funding of an alternative infrastructure could be an appropriate measure [79].
Sive lise bi bile lahko upravičene do državne pomoči, če so izpolnjeni pogoji združljivosti iz oddelka 3.4 in če je dokazano, da (i) niso zagotovljene nobene cenovno dostopne ali ustrezne storitve za izpolnjevanje potreb državljanov ali podjetij [80] ter (ii) za dosego istih ciljev ni na voljo nobenih manj izkrivljajočih ukrepov (vključno s predhodnimi ureditvami).
On the other hand, in areas where there is already one broadband network operator, subsidies for the construction of an alternative network could distort market dynamics.
Nadzorni organ bo za ugotovitev, ali so navedeni pogoji iz točk (i) in (ii) izpolnjeni, zlasti ocenil:
Therefore State support for the deployment of broadband networks in ‘grey’ areas is only justified when it can be clearly demonstrated that a market failure persists.
ali so splošni tržni pogoji ustrezni, tako da bo med drugim proučil raven obstoječih cen širokopasovnega dostopa, vrsto storitev, ki se ponujajo končnim (rezidenčnim in poslovnim) uporabnikom, ter s tem povezane pogoje;
A more detailed analysis and a thorough compatibility assessment will be necessary.
ali se v primeru, da ne obstaja nobena predhodna ureditev, ki bi jo zahteval nacionalni regulativni organ, tretjim osebam zagotavlja učinkovit omrežni dostop oziroma ali pogoji za dostop spodbujajo učinkovito konkurenco;
Grey areas could be eligible for State support, provided the compatibility conditions in Section 3.4 are met, if it is proved that (i) no affordable or adequate services are offered to satisfy the needs of citizens or business users [80] and that (ii) there are no less distortive measures available (including ex ante regulation) to reach the same goals.
ali splošne ovire za vstop preprečujejo morebiten vstop drugih operaterjev elektronskih komunikacijskih omrežij [81] na trg ter
To establish (i) and (ii), the Authority will assess in particular whether:
ali kateri od ukrepov ali pravnih sredstev, ki jih je v zvezi z obstoječim ponudnikom omrežja sprejel pristojni nacionalni regulativni organ ali organ, pristojen za konkurenco, ni privedel do rešitve takih težav.
the overall market conditions are not adequate, by looking, inter alia, into the level of current broadband prices, the type of services offered to end-users (residential and business users) and the conditions attached thereto;
Preskus združljivosti, opisan v oddelku 3.4, se izvede samo za sive lise, ki izpolnjujejo merila upravičenosti iz oddelka 3.4.
in the absence of ex ante regulation imposed by an NRA, effective network access is not offered to third parties or access conditions are not conducive to effective competition;
„Črne lise“:
overall entry barriers preclude the potential entry of other electronic communication operators [81], and
državno posredovanje ni potrebno
any measures taken or remedies imposed by the competent national regulatory or competition authority with regard to the existing network provider have not been able to overcome such problems.
Če sta ali bosta v bližnji prihodnosti na nekem geografskem območju prisotni vsaj dve osnovni širokopasovni omrežji različnih operaterjev in se širokopasovne storitve zagotavljajo pod konkurenčnimi pogoji (konkurenca med operaterji z lastno infrastrukturo [82]), se lahko sklepa, da tržnih nepopolnosti ni.
Only grey areas that meet the eligibility criteria listed above will undergo the compatibility test described in section 3.4.
Zato je zelo malo možnosti, da bo državno posredovanje zagotovilo dodatne koristi.
‘Black areas’:
Nasprotno pa bo državna podpora za financiranje postavitve dodatnega širokopasovnega omrežja s primerljivimi zmogljivostmi načeloma povzročila nesprejemljivo izkrivljanje konkurence in izrinjanje zasebnih vlagateljev.
no need for State intervention
Zato bo Nadzorni organ ukrepe za financiranje postavitve dodatne širokopasovne infrastrukture v „črnih lisah“ ocenil negativno, če ne bo tržna nepopolnost jasno dokazana [83].
When in a given geographical zone there are or there will be in the near future at least two basic broadband networks of different operators and broadband services are provided under competitive conditions (infrastructure-based competition [82]), it can be assumed that there is no market failure.
Razlikovanje med belimi, sivimi in črnimi lisami za dostopovna omrežja naslednje generacije
Accordingly, there is very little scope for State intervention to bring further benefits.
Razlikovanje med „belimi“, „sivimi“ in „črnimi“ lisami iz oddelka 3.2 zgoraj se upošteva tudi pri oceni, ali je državna pomoč za dostopovna omrežja naslednje generacije združljiva z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP v skladu s členom 61(3)(c).
On the contrary, State support for the funding of the construction of an additional broadband network with comparable capabilities will, in principle, lead to an unacceptable distortion of competition, and the crowding out of private investors.
Nekatera obstoječa napredna osnovna širokopasovna omrežja bi lahko s posodobitvijo aktivne opreme podpirala tudi nekatere vrste širokopasovnih storitev, ki se bodo v prihodnosti verjetno zagotavljale prek dostopovnih omrežij naslednje generacije (kot je osnovni paket storitev trojček).
Accordingly, in the absence of a clearly demonstrated market failure, the Authority will take a negative view of measures to fund the roll-out of an additional broadband infrastructure in a ‘black area’ [83].
Vseeno pa je treba upoštevati, da se lahko pojavijo novi proizvodi ali storitve, ki z vidika bodisi povpraševanja bodisi ponudbe niso nadomestljivi ter bodo zahtevali zmogljivosti, zanesljivost in precej večje hitrosti nalaganja in prenosa, ki presegajo zgornje fizične omejitve osnovne širokopasovne infrastrukture.
The distinction between white, grey and black areas for NGA networks
„Bele lise dostopovnih omrežij naslednje generacije“
The distinction made above in Section 3.2 between ‘white’, ‘grey’ and ‘black’ areas is relevant also for assessing whether state aid for NGA networks is compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement under Article 61(3)(c).
V skladu s tem je treba za oceno državne pomoči za dostopovna omrežja naslednje generacije območje, kjer dostopovnih omrežij naslednje generacije trenutno ni ter tudi ni verjetno, da jih bodo zasebni vlagatelji skladno s točkami 59 do 61 v treh letih postavili, obravnavati kot „bele lise dostopovnih omrežij naslednje generacije“.
At present, by upgrading active equipment, certain advanced basic broadband networks can also support some broadband services which in the future are likely to be offered over NGA networks (such as triple play services) However, novel products or services which are not substitutable from the perspective of either demand or supply may emerge and will require capacity, reliability and substantially higher upload and download speeds beyond the upper physical limits of basic broadband infrastructure.
Tako območje je upravičeno do državne pomoči za dostopovna omrežja naslednje generacije, če so izpolnjeni pogoji združljivosti iz oddelkov 3.4 in 3.5.
‘White NGA areas’
„Sive lise dostopovnih omrežij naslednje generacije“:
Accordingly, for the purposes of assessing state aid for NGA networks, an area where NGA networks do not at present exist and where they are not likely to be built within three years in line with paragraphs (59) to (61) by private investors, should be considered to be a ‘white NGA’ area.
Območje je treba obravnavati kot „sivo liso dostopovnih omrežij naslednje generacije“, če je na voljo ali bo v naslednjih treh letih postavljeno le eno dostopovno omrežje naslednje generacije [84] in nobeden od operaterjev v naslednjih treh letih ne načrtuje postavitve takega omrežja.
Such an area is eligible for state aid to NGA provided the compatibility conditions indicated in Sections 3.4 and 3.5 are fulfilled.
Pri oceni, ali bi lahko drugi vlagatelji v omrežje na zadevnem območju zgradili dodatna dostopovna omrežja naslednje generacije, je treba upoštevati vse obstoječe regulativne ali zakonodajne ukrepe, ki bi lahko zmanjšali ovire za razvoj takega omrežja (dostop do vodov, souporaba infrastrukture itd.).
‘Grey NGA areas’
Nadzorni organ bo moral izvesti podrobnejšo analizo, da se preveri, ali je glede na to, da državna intervencija na takih območjih pomeni visoko tveganje za izrinjanje obstoječih investitorjev in izkrivljanje konkurence, ta državna intervencija sploh potrebna.
An area should be considered a ‘grey NGA’ area where only one NGA network [84] is in place or is being deployed in the coming three years and there are no plans by any operator to deploy a NGA network in the coming three years.
Nadzorni organ bo v zvezi s tem izvedel oceno na podlagi pogojev združljivosti iz teh smernic.
In assessing whether other network investors could deploy additional NGA networks in a given area, account should be taken of any existing regulatory or legislative measures that may have lowered barriers for such network deployments (access to ducts, sharing of infrastructure, etc.).
„Črne lise dostopovnih omrežij naslednje generacije“
The Authority will need to carry out a more detailed analysis in order to verify whether State intervention is needed since State intervention in such areas carries a high risk of crowding out existing investors and distorting competition.
Če sta na zadevnem območju na voljo ali bosta v naslednjih treh letih postavljeni vsaj dve dostopovni omrežji naslednje generacije različnih operaterjev, je treba tako območje obravnavati kot „črno liso dostopovnih omrežij naslednje generacije“.
In this respect, the Authority will carry out its assessment on the basis of the compatibility conditions established in these Guidelines.
Nadzorni organ bo upošteval, da bi lahko državna pomoč za dodatno javno financirano konkurenčno in enako dostopovno omrežje naslednje generacije na teh območjih resno izkrivljala konkurenco in ni združljiva z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP v skladu s členom 61(3)(c).
‘Black NGA areas’
Zasnova ukrepa in potreba po omejevanju izkrivljanja konkurence
If at least two NGA networks of different operators exist in a given area or will be deployed in the coming three years, such an area should be considered a ‘black NGA’ area.
Vsak državni ukrep v podporo postavitvi širokopasovnega omrežja bi moral izpolnjevati vse pogoje združljivosti iz zgornjega oddelka 2.5, vključno s ciljem skupnega interesa, obstojem tržne nepopolnosti, ustreznostjo ukrepa in spodbujevalnim učinkom ukrepa.
The Authority will consider that State support for an additional publicly-funded, equivalent NGA network in such areas is likely to seriously distort competition and is incompatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement under Article 61(3)(c).
Kar zadeva omejevanje izkrivljanja konkurence, je treba poleg predložitve dokaza, da je v vseh primerih z ukrepom dosežena „velika sprememba“ (na območju belih, sivih in črnih lis) [85], izpolniti naslednje nujne pogoje, da se dokaže sorazmernost ukrepa.
Design of the measure and the need to limit distortions of competition
Če kateri koli od teh pogojev ne bi bil izpolnjen, bi bila verjetno potrebna podrobna ocena [86], na podlagi katere bi bil lahko sprejet sklep, da je pomoč nezdružljiva z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP.
Every State measure in support of broadband deployment should fulfil all compatibility principles described above in Section 2.5, including the common interest objective, the existence of market failure, the appropriateness and the incentive effect of the measure.
Podrobno kartiranje in analiza pokritosti:
As regards limiting the distortions of competition, besides the demonstration of how a ‘step change’ is achieved in all cases (in white, grey and black areas) [85], the following necessary conditions must be fulfilled to demonstrate the proportionality of the measure.
Države Efte morajo jasno opredeliti, katera geografska območja bo zadevni ukrep pokrival [87], po možnosti v sodelovanju s pristojnimi nacionalnimi organi.
Failure to meet any of these conditions would most likely require an in-depth assessment [86] which could result in a conclusion that the aid is incompatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement.
Posvetovanje z nacionalnimi regulativnimi organi je priporočljivo, vendar ni obvezno.
Detailed mapping and analysis of coverage:
Na podlagi primerov najboljše prakse se predlaga, da se na nacionalni ravni vzpostavi centralna baza podatkov o razpoložljivi infrastrukturi, kar bi povečalo preglednost in zmanjšalo stroške za izvajanje manjših, lokalnih projektov.
EFTA States should clearly identify which geographic areas will be covered by the support measure in question [87], whenever possible in cooperation with the competent national bodies.
Države Efte lahko same določijo ciljna območja, vendar naj bi pri določitvi zadevnih regij upoštevale gospodarske razmere pred izvedbo javnega razpisa [88].
The consultation of the NRA is encouraged but optional.
Javno posvetovanje:
Best practice examples suggest creation of a central database of the available infrastructure at a national level thereby increasing transparency and reducing the costs for the implementation of smaller, local projects.
Države Efte bi morale z objavo ustreznih informacij o projektu in pozivom k predložitvi pripomb obveščati javnost o glavnih značilnostih ukrepa in seznamu ciljnih območij.
EFTA States have the freedom to define the target areas, however, they are encouraged to take into account economic conditions in the definition of relevant regions before launching the tender [88].
Objava na osrednji spletni strani na nacionalni ravni bi načeloma zagotovila, da so take informacije na voljo vsem zainteresiranim stranem.
Public consultation:
Če bi države Efte rezultate kartiranja tudi preverjale v okviru javnih posvetovanj, bi s tem v največji možni meri zmanjšale izkrivljanje konkurence z obstoječimi ponudniki in tistimi, ki že imajo naložbene načrte za bližnjo prihodnost in bi tako lahko načrtovali svoje dejavnosti [89].
EFTA States should give adequate publicity to the main characteristics of the measure and to the list of target areas by publishing the relevant information of the project and inviting to comment.
Podrobno kartiranje in temeljito posvetovanje zagotavljata visoko stopnjo preglednosti ter sta ključna za opredelitev obstoja „belih“, „sivih“ in „črnih“ lis [90].
A publication on a central webpage at national level would in principle ensure that such information is made available to all interested stakeholders.
Konkurenčen izbirni postopek:
By also verifying the results of the mapping in a public consultation EFTA States minimise distortions of competition with existing providers and with those who already have investment plans for the near future and enable these investors to plan their activities' [89].
Kadar organi, ki dodeljujejo pomoč, izberejo tretjega operaterja za postavitev in upravljanje subvencionirane infrastrukture [91], se izbirni postopek izvede v skladu z duhom in načeli direktiv o javnih naročilih [92].
A detailed mapping exercise and a thorough consultation ensure not only a high degree of transparency but serve also as an essential tool for defining the existence of ‘white’, ‘grey’ and ‘black’ areas [90].
Zagotoviti mora preglednost za vse vlagatelje, ki želijo vložiti ponudbo za izvajanje in/ali upravljanje subvencioniranega projekta.
