GUIDELINES ON A SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURE FOR TREATMENT OF CERTAIN TYPES OF STATE AID [1]1.
SMERNICE O POENOSTAVLJENEM POSTOPKU OBRAVNAVE NEKATERIH VRST DRŽAVNIH POMOČI [1]1.
These Guidelines set out a simplified procedure under which the Authority intends, in close cooperation with the EFTA State concerned, to examine within an accelerated time frame certain types of state support measures which only require the Authority to verify that the measure is in accordance with existing rules and practices without exercising any discretionary powers.
Te smernice določajo poenostavljeni postopek, po katerem namerava Nadzorni organ v tesnem sodelovanju z zadevnimi državami Efte v pospešenem časovnem okviru proučiti nekatere vrste ukrepov državne pomoči, pri katerih mora Nadzorni organ samo preveriti, ali je ukrep v skladu z obstoječimi pravili in praksami, ne da bi pri tem uporabil kakršna koli diskrecijska pooblastila.
The Authority’s experience gained in applying Article 61 of the EEA Agreement and the regulations, frameworks, guidelines and notices adopted on the basis of Article 61 of the EEA Agreement [2], has shown that certain categories of notified aid are normally approved without raising any doubts as to their compatibility with the EEA Agreement, provided that there are no special circumstances.
Izkušnje Nadzornega organa, pridobljene z uporabo člena 61 Sporazuma EGP ter na njegovi podlagi sprejetih uredb [2], okvirov, smernic in obvestil, kažejo, da so nekatere kategorije priglašenih pomoči običajno odobrene brez vsakršnega dvoma o njihovi združljivosti s Sporazumom EGP pod pogojem, da ni posebnih okoliščin.
These categories of aid are described in Section 2.
Te kategorije pomoči so opisane v delu 2.
Other aid measures notified to the Authority will be subject to the appropriate procedures [3] and normally to the Code of Best Practice for the conduct of State aid control procedures.
Za druge ukrepe pomoči, priglašene Nadzornemu organu, se bodo uporabljali ustrezni postopki [3] in običajno Kodeks najboljših praks pri izvajanju postopkov za nadzor državne pomoči.
The purpose of these Guidelines is to set out the conditions under which the Authority will usually adopt a short-form decision declaring certain types of state support measures compatible with the EEA Agreement under the simplified procedure and to provide guidance in respect of the procedure itself.
Namen teh smernic je določiti pogoje, pod katerimi bo Nadzorni organ običajno izdal odločbo po skrajšanem postopku, s katero nekatere vrste ukrepov državne pomoči po takšnem postopku razglasi za združljive s Sporazumom EGP, in zagotoviti navodila v zvezi s samim postopkom.
When all the conditions set out in these Guidelines are met, the Authority will use its best endeavours to adopt a short-form decision that the notified measure does not constitute aid or not to raise objections within 20 working days from the date of notification, in accordance with Article 4(2) or Article 4(3) in Part II of Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the EFTA States on the Establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice.
Če so izpolnjeni vsi pogoji iz teh smernic, si bo Nadzorni organ v skladu s členom 4(2) ali (3) dela II Protokola 3 k Sporazumu med državami Efte o ustanovitvi nadzornega organa in sodišča po svojih najboljših močeh prizadeval v 20 delovnih dneh od dneva priglasitve pomoči po skrajšanem postopku sprejeti odločbo, s katero ugotovi, da priglašeni ukrep ni pomoč, oziroma, da ji ne ugovarja.
However, if any of the safeguards or exclusions set out in points 6 to 12 of these Guidelines are applicable, the Authority will revert to the normal procedure regarding notified aid described in Chapter II of Protocol 3 and will then adopt a full-form decision pursuant to Article 4 and/or Article 7 of that Protocol.
Vendar se Nadzorni organ, če se uporabljajo zaščitni ukrepi ali izključitve, določeni v točkah od 6 do 12 teh smernic, vrne k običajnemu postopku za priglašeno pomoč, opisanemu v poglavju II Protokola 3 ter nato v običajnem postopku izda odločbo v skladu s členom 4 in/ali členom 7 navedenega protokola.
In any case, the only legally enforceable time limits are those set out in Article 4(5) and Article 7(6) of Protocol 3.
V vsakem primeru so pravno zavezujoči samo roki, navedeni v členu 4(5) in členu 7(6) Protokola 3.
By following the procedure outlined in these Guidelines, the Authority aims to make EEA State aid control more predictable and efficient.
Nadzorni organ si z upoštevanjem postopka, ki je opisan v teh smernicah, prizadeva za predvidljivejši in učinkovitejši nadzor državnih pomoči EGP.
No part of these Guidelines should be interpreted as implying that a support measure which does not qualify as State aid within the meaning of Article 61 of the EEA Agreement must be notified to the Authority, although EFTA States remain free to notify such support measures for reasons of legal certainty.
Noben del teh smernic se ne bi smel razlagati, kot da določa, da je treba podporni ukrep, ki ni državna pomoč v smislu člena 61 Sporazuma EGP, priglasiti Nadzornemu organu, kljub temu, da lahko države Efte takšne podporne ukrepe priglasijo zaradi pravne varnosti.
Categories of State aid suitable for treatment under the simplified procedure
Kategorije državnih pomoči, ki so primerne za obravnavo po poenostavljenem postopku
Eligible categories of State aid
Upravičene kategorije državnih pomoči
The following categories of measures are in principle suitable for treatment under the simplified procedure:
Za obravnavo po poenostavljenem postopku so načeloma primerne naslednje kategorije ukrepov:
Category 1: Aid measures falling within the ‘standard assessment’ sections of existing guidelines
Kategorija 1: Ukrepi pomoči, za katere se uporablja „standardna ocena“ obstoječih smernic.
This implies that the pre-notification phase confirms that the notified aid measure prima facie meets the relevant conditions, as further detailed in each of the applicable horizontal instruments, concerning:
To pomeni, da se v fazi pred priglasitvijo potrdi, da priglašena pomoč prima facie izpolnjuje ustrezne pogoje, ki so podrobno razloženi v posameznih veljavnih horizontalnih instrumentih glede:
type of beneficiaries,
vrste upravičencev,

exclusion of beneficiaries which are subject to an outstanding recovery order [6].
izključitve upravičencev, ki so naslovniki neporavnanega naloga za izterjavo [6].
The types of measures for which the Authority is prepared to consider applying the simplified procedure within this category include in particular the following:
Nadzorni organ je pripravljen po poenostavljenem postopku obravnavati zlasti naslednje vrste ukrepov v tej kategoriji:

ad hoc regional aid which is below the individual notification threshold laid down in point 53 of the Regional Aid Guidelines [10];
ad hoc regionalno pomoč, ki ne dosega posameznega praga za priglasitev, določenega v točki 53 smernic o regionalni pomoči [10];

The above list is illustrative and may evolve on the basis of future revisions of the currently applicable instruments or the adoption of new instruments.
Zgornji seznam je samo za ponazoritev in se lahko spreminja na podlagi prihodnjih revizij sedanjih veljavnih instrumentov oziroma sprejetja novih instrumentov.
The Authority may review this list from time to time to keep it in line with applicable State aid rules.
Nadzorni organ lahko ta seznam občasno pregleda, da zagotovi njegovo skladnost z veljavnimi predpisi o državni pomoči.
Category 2: Measures corresponding to well-established Authority decision-making practice
Kategorija 2: Ukrepi, ki ustrezajo ustaljeni praksi odločanja Nadzornega organa.
Aid measures with features corresponding to those of aid measures approved in at least three earlier Authority decisions (hereinafter ‘precedent decisions’) [16], the assessment of which can thus be immediately carried out on the basis of this established Authority decision-making practice, are in principle suitable for treatment under the simplified procedure.
Ukrepi pomoči z enakimi značilnostmi kot jih imajo ukrepi pomoči, ki jih je Nadzorni organ odobril v najmanj treh prejšnjih odločbah (v nadaljnjem besedilu: precedenčne odločbe [16]) in se zato lahko ocenijo na osnovi te ustaljene prakse odločanja Nadzornega organa, so načeloma primerni za obravnavo po poenostavljenem postopku.
Only Authority decisions adopted within the last 10 years preceding the date of pre-notification (see point 14) may qualify as ‘precedent decisions’.
Za „precedenčne odločbe“ se lahko štejejo samo odločbe, ki jih je Nadzorni organ sprejel v zadnjih desetih letih pred datumom predhodne priglasitve (glej točko 14).
The simplified procedure will only be applied in cases where the Authority is satisfied, after the pre-notification phase (see points 13-16), that the relevant substantive and procedural conditions which governed the precedent decisions are met, in particular as regards the objectives and overall set-up of the measure, the types of beneficiaries, eligible costs, individual notification ceilings, aid intensities and (where applicable) bonuses, cumulation provisions, incentive effect, and transparency requirements.
Poenostavljeni postopek se uporabi samo v primeru, kadar je Nadzorni organ po fazi pred priglasitvijo (glej točke 13–16) prepričan, da so izpolnjene vse ustrezne vsebinske in postopkovne zahteve, ki so veljale za precedenčne odločbe, zlasti glede ciljev in splošne ureditve ukrepa, vrst upravičencev, upravičenih stroškov, posameznih pragov za priglasitev, intenzivnosti pomoči in (kadar je primerno) dodatkov, določb o kumulaciji, spodbujevalnega učinka in zahtev po preglednosti.
In addition, as pointed out in point 11, the Authority will revert to the normal procedure where the notified aid measure could benefit an undertaking which is subject to an outstanding recovery order following a previous Authority decision declaring an aid unlawful and incompatible with the EEA Agreement (so-called Deggendorf issue).
Nadzorni organ se, kot je poudarjeno v točki 11, poleg tega k običajnemu postopku vrne tudi v primeru, da bi priglašena pomoč lahko koristila podjetju, ki je naslovnik neporavnanega naloga za izterjavo na podlagi prejšnje odločbe, s katero je Nadzorni organ pomoč razglasil za nezakonito in nezdružljivo s Sporazumom EGP (t.i. vprašanje Deggendorf).
aid measures for the preservation of national cultural heritage related to activities linked to historic, ancient sites or national monuments, provided that the aid is limited to ‘heritage conservation’ within the meaning of Article 61(3)(c) of the EEA Agreement read in conjunction with Article 107(3)(d) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union [17];
ukrepe pomoči za varstvo nacionalne kulturne dediščine v zvezi z dejavnostmi, ki so povezane z zgodovinskimi, starodavnimi kraji ali nacionalnimi spomeniki, pod pogojem, da je pomoč omejena na „ohranjanje dediščine“ v skladu s členom 61(3)(c) Sporazuma EGP v povezavi s členom 107(3)(d) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije [17];
aid schemes for theatre, dance and music activities [18];
sheme pomoči za gledališke, plesne in glasbene dejavnosti [18];
aid schemes for the promotion of minority languages [19];
sheme pomoči za promocijo manjšinskih jezikov [19];
aid measures in favour of the publishing industry [20];
ukrepe pomoči v korist založništva [20];
aid measures in favour of broadband connectivity in rural areas [21];
ukrepe pomoči v korist širokopasovne povezljivosti na podeželskih območjih [21];
guarantee schemes for shipbuilding finance [22];
poroštvene sheme za financiranje na področju ladjedelništva [22];
aid measures fulfilling all other applicable provisions of the General block exemption Regulation, but excluded from its application merely because:
ukrepe pomoči, ki izpolnjujejo vse druge veljavne določbe uredbe o splošnih skupinskih izjemah, vendar so iz njene uporabe izvzeti samo zato:
the measures constitute ‘ad hoc aid’ [23], the measures are provided in an untransparent form (Article 5 of the General block exemption Regulation), but their gross grant equivalent is calculated on the basis of a methodology approved by the Authority in three individual decisions adopted after 1 January 2007;
ker gre pri teh ukrepih za ad hoc pomoč [23],ker se ti ukrepi izvajajo v nepregledni obliki (člen 5 Uredbe o splošnih skupinskih izjemah), vendar se njihov bruto ekvivalent dotacije izračunava na podlagi metodologije, ki jo je Nadzorni organ sprejel po 1. januarju 2007 s tremi posameznimi odločbami;
measures supporting the development of local infrastructure not constituting State aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement in view of the fact that, having regard to the specificities of the case, the measure in question will not have any effect on intra-EEA trade [24];
ukrepi, ki podpirajo razvoj lokalne infrastrukture in niso državna pomoč v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP glede na dejstvo, da ob upoštevanju posebnosti posameznega primera zadevni ukrep ne bo imel vpliva na trgovino znotraj EGP [24];
the prolongation and/or modification of existing schemes outside the scope of the simplified procedure foreseen in the Authority’s Decision No 195/04/COL of 14 July 2004 on the implementing provisions referred to under Article 27 in Part II of Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the EFTA States on the Establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice [25] (see category 3 below), for example as regards the adaptation of existing schemes to new horizontal guidelines [26].
podaljšanje in/ali spremembe obstoječih shem izven poenostavljenega postopka, ki ga predvideva Odločba Nadzornega organa št. 195/04/COL z dne 14. julija 2004 o izvedbenih določbah iz člena 27 dela II Protokola 3 k Sporazumu med državami Efte o ustanovitvi nadzornega organa in sodišča [25] (glej kategorijo 3 spodaj), na primer v zvezi s prilagajanjem obstoječih shem novim horizontalnim smernicam [26].
This list is illustrative, since the exact scope of this category may evolve in line with Authority decision-making practice.
Ta seznam je samo za ponazoritev, saj se natančen obseg te kategorije lahko spremeni glede na prakso odločanja Nadzornega organa.
The Authority may review this illustrative list from time to time to keep it in line with evolving practice.
Nadzorni organ lahko ponazoritveni seznam občasno pregleda, da zagotovi njegovo skladnost z razvijajočo se prakso.
Category 3: Prolongation or extension of existing schemes
Kategorija 3: podaljšanje ali razširitev obstoječih shem.
Article 4 of the Authority’s Decision No 195/04/COL foresees a simplified notification procedure for certain alterations to existing aid.
Člen 4 Odločbe Nadzornega organa št. 195/2004/COL predvideva poenostavljeni postopek priglasitve za nekatere spremembe obstoječe pomoči.
Under that Article, the ‘[…] following alterations to existing aid shall be notified on the simplified notification form set out in Annex II to this Decision:
V skladu z navedenim členom se „naslednje spremembe […] obstoječe pomoči priglasijo na poenostavljenem obrazcu za priglasitev iz Priloge II k tej odločbi:
increases in the budget of an authorised aid scheme exceeding 20 %;
povečanje proračuna potrjene sheme pomoči, ki je večje od 20 %;
prolongation of an existing authorised aid scheme by up to six years, with or without an increase in the budget;
podaljšanje obstoječe potrjene sheme pomoči za največ šest let, s povečanjem proračuna ali brez;
tightening of the criteria for the application of an authorised aid scheme, a reduction of aid intensity or a reduction of eligible expenses’.
poostritev meril za uporabo potrjene sheme pomoči, zmanjšanje intenzivnosti pomoči ali zmanjšanje upravičenih stroškov.“
The possibility of applying Article 4 of the Authority’s Decision No 195/04/COL remains unaffected by these Guidelines.
Te smernice ne vplivajo na možnost uporabe člena 4 Odločbe Nadzornega organa št. 195/04/COL.
However, the Authority invites the notifying EFTA State to proceed in accordance with these Guidelines, including pre-notification of the aid measures concerned, while using the simplified notification form annexed to the Authority’s Decision No 195/04/COL.
Vendar pa Nadzorni organ državo Efte priglasiteljico poziva, naj ravna v skladu s temi smernicami, vključno s predhodno priglasitvijo zadevnih ukrepov pomoči, ter pri tem uporabi poenostavljeni obrazec za priglasitev, ki je priložen Odločbi Nadzornega organa št. 195/2004/COL.
The Authority will, in the context of this procedure, also invite the EFTA State concerned to agree on the publication on the Authority’s website of the summary of its notification.
Nadzorni organ bo v okviru tega postopka zadevno državo Efte tudi pozval, naj pristane na objavo povzetka svoje priglasitve na spletni strani Nadzornega organa.
Safeguards and exclusions
Zaščitni ukrepi in izključitve
Since the simplified procedure applies only to aid notified on the basis of Article 1(3) in Part I of Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the EFTA States on the Establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice, unlawful aids are excluded.
Glede na to, da se poenostavljeni postopek uporablja samo za pomoč, priglašeno na podlagi člena 1(3) dela I Protokola 3 k Sporazumu med državami Efte o ustanovitvi nadzornega organa in sodišča, so nezakonite pomoči izključene.
