Due to such specificities, the Authority will fix the national population coverage on the basis of low population density regions according to Article 61(3)(c).
Zaradi takšnih posebnosti bo Nadzorni organ določil nacionalni obseg prebivalstva na podlagi regij z nizko gostoto prebivalstva v skladu s členom 61(3)(c).
Norway has nine NUTS III regions with low population density making up 29,08 % of the Norwegian population.
Norveška ima devet regij NUTS III z nizko gostoto prebivalstva, ki predstavlja 29,08 % norveškega prebivalstva.
Consequently, the national population ceiling for Norway is 29,08 %.
Zato je zgornji nacionalni prag prebivalstva za Norveško 29,08 %.
Iceland is according to the NUTS classification system defined as such as a NUTS III region (as well as a NUTS I and a NUTS II region).
Po sistemu klasifikacije NUTS je Islandija opredeljena kot regija NUTS III (in tudi kot regija NUTS I in NUTS II).
The population density of Iceland is less than 12,5 inhabitants per square kilometre [21].
Gostota prebivalstva v Islandiji je manj kakor 12,5 prebivalca na km2 [21].
As referred to above (paragraphs (16) and (17)), the derogation in Article 61(3)(c) gives the Authority the power to authorise aid with the aim of furthering the development of regions in an EFTA State which are disadvantaged in relation to the national average.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj (odstavka (16) in (17)), odstopanje v členu 61(3)(c) pooblašča Nadzorni organ, da odobri pomoč, namenjeno pospeševanju razvoja regij in države Efte, ki so v neugodnem položaju glede na nacionalno povprečje.
Furthermore, only a small part of the national territory should normally qualify for the aid in question.
Poleg tega je do te pomoči običajno lahko upravičen samo majhen del nacionalnega ozemlja države.
On this background and with a view to the special population pattern in Iceland, the Authority will determine the population coverage for Iceland on the basis of NUTS IV regions with low population density [22].
Na podlagi tega in glede na posebno razporeditev prebivalstva na Islandiji bo Nadzorni organ določil obseg prebivalstva za Islandijo na podlagi regij NUTS IV z nizko gostoto prebivalstva [22].
31,6 % of the Icelandic population lives in such regions having a population of less than 12,5 inhabitants per square kilometre.
31,6 % islandskega prebivalstva živi v regijah z nižjo gostoto prebivalstva od 12,5 prebivalca na kvadratni kilometer.
The national population coverage for Iceland is thus 31,6 %.
Nacionalni obseg prebivalstva za Islandijo tako znaša 31,6 %.
Liechtenstein has no low population density regions and consequently no region eligible on that basis.
Lihtenštajn nima regij z nizko gostoto prebivalstva in zato ni na tej podlagi upravičena nobena regija.
Selection of eligible regions
Izbira upravičenih regij
The eligibility criteria for the selection of regions by the EFTA States must be sufficiently flexible to allow for the wide diversity of situations in which the granting of national regional aid may potentially be justified but at the same time they must be transparent and provide sufficient safeguards that the award of regional aid will not distort trade and competition to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Merila upravičenosti držav Efte za izbiro regij morajo biti dovolj prožna, da upoštevajo široko raznolikost primerov, v katerih je lahko dodelitev državne regionalne pomoči morda upravičena, vendar pa morajo biti hkrati pregledna in ustrezno zagotavljati, da dodelitev regionalne pomoči ne bo izkrivljala trgovanja in konkurence v obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju s skupnimi interesi.
Accordingly, the Authority considers that the following regions may be eligible for selection by the EFTA States concerned for the award of regional investment aid pursuant to the derogation under Article 61(3)(c) [23]:
Zato Nadzorni organ meni, da so naslednje regije lahko upravičene do izbire, ki jo opravijo zadevne države Efte za dodelitev regionalne pomoči za naložbe v skladu z odstopanjem po členu 61(3)(c) [23]:
the low population density regions: such areas are made up essentially of NUTS-II geographic regions with a population density of less than 8 inhabitants per km2, or NUTS-III geographic regions as concerns Norway and NUTS IV geographic regions as concerns Iceland [24] with a population density of less than 12,5 inhabitants per km2 [25].
regije z nizko gostoto prebivalstva; pri teh območjih gre predvsem za geografske regije NUTS-II z gostoto prebivalstva pod 8 prebivalcev na km2 ali geografske regije NUTS-III, v primeru Norveške, ali regije NUTS IV, v primeru Islandije [24], z gostoto prebivalstva pod 12,5 prebivalca na km2 [25].
However, a certain flexibility is allowed in the selection of these areas, subject to the following limitations:
Vendar je pri izbiri teh območij dopustno odstopanje z naslednjimi omejitvami:
flexibility in the selection of areas must not mean an increase in the population covered,
prožnost pri izbiri območij ne sme povzročiti povečanja obsega prebivalstva,
the NUTS III parts qualifying for flexibility must have a population density of less than 12,5 inhabitants per square kilometer,
v delih regij NUTS III, ki izpolnjujejo pogoje za prožnost, mora znašati gostota prebivalstva manj kakor 12,5 prebivalca na km2,
they must be contiguous with NUTS III regions which satisfy the low population density test;
mejiti morajo na regije NUTS-III, ki izpolnjujejo merilo nizke gostote prebivalstva;
regions which form contiguous zones with a minimum population of at least 100000 and which are located within either NUTS-II or NUTS-III regions which have either a GDP per capita of less than the EEA average or which have an unemployment rate which is higher than 115 % of the national average, (both calculated on the average of the most recent three years of Eurostat data);
regije, ki so mejna območja z vsaj 100000 prebivalci in se nahajajo v regijah NUTS-II ali NUTS-III, ki imajo BDP na prebivalca nižji od povprečja EGP ali ki imajo stopnjo brezposelnosti višjo kot 115 % državnega povprečja (oba podatka izračunana na podlagi podatkov Eurostata za zadnja tri leta);
NUTS-III regions with less than 100000 population which have either a GDP per capita of less than the EEA average or which have an unemployment rate which is higher than 115 % of the national average, (both calculated on the average of the most recent three years of Eurostat data);
regije NUTS-III z manj kot 100000 prebivalcev, ki imajo BDP na prebivalca nižji od povprečja EGP ali stopnjo brezposelnosti višjo kot 115 % državnega povprečja (oba podatka izračunana na podlagi podatkov Eurostata za zadnja tri leta);
islands and other regions categorised by similar geographical isolation [26] which have either a GDP per capita of less than the EEA average or which have an unemployment rate which is higher than 115 % of the national average, (both calculated on the average of the most recent three years of Eurostat data);
otoki in druge podobno geografsko izolirane regije [26], ki imajo BDP na prebivalca nižji od povprečja EGP ali stopnjo brezposelnosti višjo kot 115 % državnega povprečja (oba podatka izračunana na podlagi podatkov Eurostata za zadnja tri leta);
islands with fewer than 5000 inhabitants and other communities with fewer than 5000 inhabitants categorised by similar geographical isolation;
otoki z manj kot 5000 prebivalci in druge skupnosti z manj kot 5000 prebivalci, ki so podobno geografsko izolirane;
NUTS-III regions or parts thereof which share a land border, or a sea border of less than 30 kilometres with a country which is not a Member State of the European Economic Area or EFTA;
regije NUTS-III ali njihovi deli s skupno kopensko mejo ali morsko mejo, krajšo od 30 kilometrov, z državo, ki ni članica Evropskega gospodarskega prostora ali država Efte;
in duly justified cases, EFTA States may also designate other regions which form contiguous zones with a minimum population of at least 50000 which are undergoing major structural change, or are in serious relative decline, when compared with other comparable regions.
v utemeljenih primerih lahko države Efte določijo tudi druge regije, ki so mejna območja z vsaj 50000 prebivalci, ki so sredi velike strukturne spremembe ali resno nazadujejo v primerjavi z drugimi primerljivimi regijami.
It will be the task of EFTA States which wish to use this possibility to demonstrate that the award of regional investment aid in the region concerned is justified, using recognised economic indicators and comparisons with the situation at EEA level.
Naloga držav Efte, ki želijo uporabiti to možnost, bo pri tem dokazati, da je dodelitev regionalne pomoči za naložbe v zadevni regiji utemeljena, s pomočjo priznanih gospodarskih kazalcev in primerjavami s stanjem na ravni EGP.
In addition, in order to allow EFTA States greater flexibility to target very localised regional disparities, below the NUTS-III level, EFTA States may also designate other smaller areas which do not meet the conditions described above provided they have a minimum population of 20000 [27].
Poleg tega, da se omogoči državam Efte večja prožnost za obravnavo zelo lokaliziranih regionalnih nesorazmerij pod nivojem NUTS-III, lahko države Efte določijo tudi druga majhna področja, ki ne izpolnjujejo zgoraj navedenih pogojev, če imajo vsaj 20000 prebivalcev [27].
It will be the task of EFTA States which wish to use this possibility to demonstrate that the areas proposed are relatively more in need of economic development than other areas in that region, using recognised economic indicators such as GDP per capita, employment or unemployment levels, local productivity or skill indicators.
Naloga držav Efte, ki želijo uporabiti to možnost, bo pri tem dokazati, da predlagana območja sorazmerno bolj potrebujejo gospodarski razvoj kot druga območja v dani regiji, s pomočjo priznanih gospodarskih kazalcev, kot so BDP na prebivalca, stopnje zaposlenosti oziroma brezposelnosti ali lokalni kazalci produktivnosti ali spretnosti.
Regional aid will be approved by the Authority in these areas for SMEs, and the relevant SME bonus will also apply.
Regionalno pomoč za ta območja za MSP bo odobril Nadzorni organ, veljal pa bo tudi zadevni dodatek za MSP.
However, because of the potential distortion of competition resulting from the spill-over effect into the more prosperous surrounding regions, the Authority will not approve aid for investments by large companies in these areas, or aids for investments with eligible expenses exceeding EUR 25 million.
Vendar pa zaradi možnega izkrivljanja konkurence zaradi ‚učinka prelitja‘ v bolj uspešne okoliške regije Nadzorni organ ne bo odobril pomoči za naložbe velikih družb na teh območjih ali pomoči za naložbe z upravičenimi odhodki, ki presegajo 25 milijonov EUR.
Compliance with the total coverage allowed for each EFTA State will be determined by the actual population of the regions concerned, on the basis of the most recent recognised statistical information available.
Združljivost s celotnim obsegom, dovoljenim za vsako državo Efte, bo določena z dejanskim številom prebivalstva zadevnih regij na podlagi zadnjih dosegljivih priznanih statističnih podatkov.
Form of aid and aid ceilings
Oblike in zgornje meje pomoči
Regional investment aid is aid awarded for an initial investment project.
Regionalna pomoč za naložbe je pomoč, dodeljena za začetni naložbeni projekt.
Initial investment means an investment in material and immaterial assets relating to:
Začetna naložba pomeni naložbo v materialna in nematerialna sredstva, povezano z:
the setting-up of a new establishment,
ustanovitvijo novega obrata,
the extension of an existing establishment,
širitvijo obstoječega obrata,
diversification of the output of an establishment into new, additional products,
diverzifikacijo proizvodnje obrata v nove dodatne, proizvode,
a fundamental change in the overall production process of an existing establishment.
bistveno spremembo v celotnem proizvodnem procesu obstoječega obrata.
“Material assets” means assets relating to land, buildings and plant/machinery.
‚Materialna sredstva‘ so sredstva, povezana z zemljišči, stavbami in opremo/stroji.
In case of acquisition of an establishment, only the costs of buying assets from third parties should be taken into consideration, provided the transaction has taken place under market conditions.
V primeru prevzema obrata se lahko upoštevajo samo stroški nakupa sredstev od tretje osebe pod pogojem, da je transakcija potekala po tržnih pogojih.
“Immaterial assets” means assets entailed by the transfer of technology through the acquisition of patent rights, licences, know-how or unpatented technical knowledge.
‚Nematerialna sredstva‘ so sredstva, povezana s prenosom tehnologije za pridobitev patentnih pravic, licenc, znanja ali nepatentiranega tehničnega znanja.
Replacement investment which does not meet any of these conditions is thus excluded from the concept [28].
Nadomestna naložba, ki ne izpolnjuje nobenega od teh pogojev, je tako izključena iz tega pojmovanja [28].
The acquisition of the assets directly linked to an establishment may also be regarded as initial investment provided the establishment has closed or would have closed had it not been purchased, and is bought by an independent investor [29].
Pridobitev sredstev, neposredno povezana z obratom, se tudi lahko šteje kot začetna naložba, če je bil ta obrat zaprt ali bi bil zaprt, če ne bi bil kupljen, ter ga kupi neodvisni vlagatelj [29].
Regional investment aid is calculated either in reference to material and immaterial investment costs resulting from the initial investment project or to (estimated) wage costs for jobs directly created by the investment project [30].
Regionalna pomoč za naložbe se izračuna glede na materialne ali nematerialne naložbene stroške, ki izvirajo iz začetnega naložbenega projekta, ali glede na (ocenjene) stroške dela za delovna mesta, neposredno ustvarjena z naložbenim projektom [30].
The form of the aid is variable.
Oblika pomoči je različna.
It may, for example, take the form of grants, low-interest loans or interest rebates, state guarantees, the purchase of a share-holding or an alternative provision of capital on favourable terms, exemptions or reductions in taxes, social security or other compulsory charges, or the supply of land, goods or services at favourable prices.
Lahko je na primer v obliki dotacije, posojila z znižano obrestno mero ali regresiranja obresti, državnih poroštev, nakupa deleža ali drugačne pridobitve kapitala pod ugodnimi pogoji, oprostitev ali znižanj pri davkih, socialnih prispevkih ali drugih obveznih prispevkih, ali dobave zemljišč, blaga ali storitev po ugodnih cenah.
It is important to ensure that regional aid produces a real incentive effect to undertake investments which would not otherwise be made in the assisted areas.
Treba je zagotoviti, da ima regionalna pomoč resničen spodbujevalni učinek za naložbe, ki sicer ne bi bile izvedene v območjih, ki prejemajo pomoč.
Therefore aid may only be granted under aid schemes if the beneficiary has submitted an application for aid and the authority responsible for administering the scheme has subsequently confirmed in writing [31] that, subject to detailed verification, the project in principle meets the conditions of eligibility laid down by the scheme before the start of work on the project [32].
Zato je lahko pomoč dodeljena v okviru shem pomoči samo, če je upravičenec predložil vlogo za pomoč in je nato organ, odgovoren za upravljanje sheme, pred začetkom dela na projektu pisno potrdil [31], da projekt po natančnem preverjanju načeloma izpolnjuje pogoje upravičenosti, določene v shemi [32].
An express reference to both conditions must also be included in all aid schemes [33].
Vse sheme pomoči morajo vsebovati tudi izrecno omembo obeh pogojev [33].
In the case of ad hoc aid, the competent authority must have issued a letter of intent, conditional on the Authority’s approval of the measure, to award aid before work starts on the project.
V primeru ad hoc pomoči mora pristojni organ izdati pismo o nameri pod pogojem odobritve ukrepa s strani Nadzornega organa, da bo pomoč dodeljena pred začetkom dela na projektu.
If work begins before the conditions laid down in this paragraph are fulfilled, the whole project will not be eligible for aid.
Če se delo začne, preden so izpolnjeni pogoji iz tega odstavka, celoten projekt ne bo upravičen do pomoči.
Where the aid is calculated on the basis of material or immaterial investment costs, or of acquisition costs in the case referred to in paragraph (27) above, to ensure that the investment is viable and sound and respecting the applicable aid ceilings, the beneficiary must provide a financial contribution of at least 25 % of the eligible costs, either through its own resources or by external financing, in a form which is free of any public support [34].
Kadar je pomoč izračunana na podlagi materialnih ali nematerialnih naložbenih stroškov ali na podlagi stroškov pridobitve v primeru iz odstavka 27, mora upravičenec, da se zagotovita donosnost in zdravje naložbe ter ob upoštevanju veljavnih zgornjih mej pomoči, zagotoviti finančni prispevek v višini vsaj 25 % upravičenih stroškov s svojimi lastnimi sredstvi ali z zunanjim financiranjem in v obliki, ki ni povezana s kakršno koli javno pomočjo [34].
Furthermore, in order to ensure that the investment makes a real and sustained contribution to regional development, aid must be made conditional, through the conditions attached to the aid, or its method of payment, on the maintenance of the investment in question in the region concerned for a minimum period of at least five years after its completion [35].
Da se zagotovi, da naložba resnično in trajnostno prispeva k regionalnemu razvoju, mora biti pomoč pogojena z ohranjanjem dane naložbe v zadevni regiji za obdobje vsaj pet let po njenem zaključku, kar se lahko opravi s pogoji, vezanimi na pomoč, ali z načinom plačila [35].
In addition, where the aid is calculated on the basis of wage costs, the posts must be filled within three years of the completion of the works.
Poleg tega morajo biti, če je pomoč izračunana na podlagi stroškov dela, delovna mesta zasedena v treh letih po zaključku del.
Each of the jobs created through the investment must be maintained within the region concerned for a period of five years from the date the post was first filled.
Vsako od delovnih mest, ustvarjenih z naložbo, mora ostati v zadevni regiji za obdobje petih let od datuma, ko je bilo delovno mesto prvič zasedeno.
In the case of SMEs, EFTA States may reduce these five-year periods for the maintenance of an investment or jobs created to a minimum of three years.
Za MSP lahko države Efte to petletno obdobje za ohranjanje naložbe ali ustvarjenih delovnih mest skrajšajo na najmanj tri leta.
The level of the aid is defined in terms of intensity compared with reference costs.
Višina pomoči je določena kot intenzivnost glede na referenčne stroške.
All aid intensities must be calculated in terms of gross grant equivalents (GGE) [36].
Vsaka intenzivnost pomoči mora biti izračunana kot bruto ekvivalent dotacije (BED) [36].
The aid intensity in gross grant equivalent is the discounted value of the aid expressed as a percentage of the discounted value of the eligible costs.
Intenzivnost pomoči v bruto ekvivalentu dotacije je diskontirana vrednost pomoči, izražena kot odstotek diskontirane vrednosti upravičenih stroškov.
For aid which is individually notified to the Authority, the gross grant equivalent is calculated at the moment of notification.
Za pomoč, o kateri se posamično obvesti Nadzorni organ, je bruto ekvivalent dotacije izračunan ob času obvestila.
In other cases, the eligible investment costs are discounted to their value at the moment of the granting of the aid.
Pri drugih primerih se upravičeni naložbeni stroški diskontirajo na svojo vrednost ob času dodelitve pomoči.
Aid payable in several instalments shall be discounted to its value at the moment of its being notified or granted, as appropriate.
Pomoč, ki se izplača v več obrokih, bo diskontirana na svojo vrednost ob času, ko je bila dodeljena oziroma ko je bilo podano obvestilo o njej, če je primerno.
The interest rate to be used for discounting purposes and to calculate the aid amount in a soft loan is the reference rate applicable at the time of grant.
Obrestna mera, ki jo je treba uporabiti za diskontiranje in izračun zneska pomoči pri ugodnem posojilu, je referenčna mera, ki se uporablja v času odobritve.
In cases where aid is awarded by means of tax exemptions or reductions on future taxes due, discounting of aid tranches takes place on the basis of the reference rates applicable at the various times the tax advantages become effective.
Če je pomoč dodeljena z davčnimi oprostitvami ali znižanji na bodoče dolgovane davke, se diskontiranje obrokov pomoči opravi na osnovi referenčnih mer, ki veljajo ob časih, ko davčne prednosti stopijo v veljavo.
Aid ceilings (maximum aid intensities) for aid to large companies
Zgornje meje pomoči (najvišja intenzivnost pomoči) za pomoč velikim družbam
The intensity of the aid must be adapted to take account of the nature and intensity of the regional problems that are being addressed.
Intenzivnost pomoči mora biti prilagojena naravi in velikosti obravnavanih regionalnih težav.
This means that the admissible aid intensities are from the outset less high in regions qualifying for exemption under Article 61(3)(c) than in those qualifying under Article 61(3)(a).
To pomeni, da je že od vsega začetka dovoljena manjša intenzivnost pomoči v regijah, ki izpolnjujejo pogoje za izjemo na podlagi člena 61(3)(c), kakor pa v regijah, ki izpolnjujejo pogoje za izjemo na podlagi člena 61(3)(a).
The enlargement of the EEA has led to greater disparities of wealth within the EEA resulting in the need to introduce a greater categorisation of the regions concerned.
Zaradi širitve EGP so se povečale nesorazmernosti v blaginji EGP, kar je narekovalo potrebo po uvedbi večje kategorizacije zadevnih regij.
With a view to being consistent with the approach adopted in the European Community, the Authority has decided to apply the same methodology.
Nadzorni organ se je zaradi skladnosti s pristopom, ki ga je sprejela Evropska skupnost, odločil uporabiti enako metodologijo.
In the Article 61(3)(c) regions, the ceiling on regional aid must not exceed 15 % GGE.
V drugih regijah iz člena 61(3)(c) zgornja meja regionalne pomoči ne sme preseči 15 % BED.
This is reduced to 10 % GGE in the case of regions with both more than 100 % of average EEA GDP per capita and a lower unemployment rate than the EEA average, measured at NUTS-III level (based on averages for the last three years, using Eurostat data) [37].
Ta znesek se zniža na 10 BED za regije, ki imajo BDP na prebivalca višji kot 100 % povprečja BDP v EGP in nižjo stopnjo brezposelnosti, kot je povprečje v EGP, izmerjeno na ravni NUTS-III (na podlagi povprečij za zadnja tri leta, s podatki Eurostata) [37].
However, the low population density regions (corresponding to NUTS-III level or smaller) and NUTS-III regions or parts thereof which share a land border with a country which is not a Member State of the European Economic Area or EFTA, are always eligible for an aid intensity of 15 % GGE.
Vendar so regije z nizko gostoto prebivalstva (ustrezne ravni NUTS-III ali manj) in regije NUTS-III ali njihovi deli, ki imajo kopensko mejo z državo, ki ni država članica Evropskega gospodarskega prostora ali država Efte, vedno upravičene do intenzivnosti pomoči v višini 15 % BED.
Bonuses for small and medium-sized enterprises
Dodatki za mala in srednja podjetja
In the case of aid awarded to small and medium-sized enterprises [38], the ceilings in Section 25.B.4.1.2 may be increased by 20 % GGE for aid granted to small enterprises and by 10 % GGE for aid granted to medium-sized enterprises [39].
Kadar je pomoč dodeljena malim in srednjim podjetjem [38], se lahko zgornje meje iz oddelka 25.B.4.1.2 povišajo za 20 % BED za pomoč, dodeljeno malim podjetjem, in za 10 % za pomoč, dodeljeno srednjim podjetjem [39].
Aid calculated on the basis of investment costs
Pomoč, izračunana na podlagi stroškov dela
