If such R&D is not procured at market price, this will normally involve State aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.
Če taka dejavnost raziskav in razvoja ne bo zagotovljena po tržni ceni, bo to navadno vključevalo državno pomoč v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP.
If, on the other hand, these contracts are awarded according to market conditions, an indication for which may be that a tender procedure in accordance with the applicable directives on public procurement, in particular Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors [13], incorporated into the EEA Agreement through Annex XVI point 4 by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 68/2006 (OJ L 245, 7.9.2006, p. 22 and EEA Supplement No 44, 7.9.2006, p. 18), and Directive 2004/18/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on the coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts [14], incorporated into the EEA Agreement through Annex XVI point 2 by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 68/2006 (OJ L 245, 7.9.2006, p. 22 and EEA Supplement No 44, 7.9.2006, p. 18), has been carried out, the Authority will normally consider that no State aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement is involved.
Če pa se te pogodbe dodelijo v skladu s tržnimi pogoji, kar lahko dokazuje izvedba postopka javnega razpisa v skladu z veljavnimi direktivami o javnih naročilih, zlasti z Direktivo 2004/17/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 31. marca 2004 o usklajevanju postopkov za oddajo javnih naročil naročnikov v vodnem, energetskem in transportnem sektorju ter sektorju poštnih storitev [13], vključeno v Sporazum EGP s točko 4 Priloge XVI na podlagi Sklepa Skupnega odbora EGP št. 68/2006 (UL L 245, 7.9.2006, str. 22, in Dopolnilo EGP št. 44, 7.9.2006, str. 18), in Direktivo 2004/18/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 31. marca 2004 o usklajevanju postopkov za oddajo javnih naročil gradenj, blaga in storitev [14], vključeno v Sporazum EGP s točko 2 Priloge XVI na podlagi Sklepa Skupnega odbora št. 68/2006 (UL L 245, 7.9.2006, str. 22, in Dopolnilo EGP št. 44, 7.9.2006, str. 18), bo Nadzorni organ navadno štel, da ne gre za državno pomoč v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP.
This chapter applies to aid to support research and development and innovation in all sectors governed by the EEA Agreement.
To poglavje se nanaša na pomoč za podporo raziskavam in razvoju ter inovacijam v vseh sektorjih, ki jih ureja Sporazum EGP.
It also applies to those sectors which are subject to specific rules on State aid, unless such rules provide otherwise.
Prav tako se nanaša na tiste sektorje, za katere veljajo posebna pravila o državnih pomočeh, razen če taka pravila določajo drugače.
This chapter applies to State aid for R&D&I in the environmental field [15], as there are many synergies to exploit between innovation for quality and performance and innovation to optimise energy use, waste and safety.Following the entry into force of Commission Regulation (EC) No 364/2004 of 25 February 2004 amending Regulation (EC) No 70/2001 as regards the extension of its scope to include aid for research and development [16], incorporated into the EEA Agreement through Annex XV point 1.f by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 131/2004 (OJ L 64, 10.3.2005, p. 67 and EEA Supplement No 12, 10.3.2005, p. 49), aid for research and development to SMEs is exempt from the notification requirement under the conditions stipulated in Commission Regulation (EC) No 70/2001 of 12 January 2001 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to State aid to small and medium-sized enterprises [17], incorporated into the EEA Agreement through Annex XV point 1.f.
To poglavje se nanaša na državno pomoč za R&R&I na okoljskem področju [15], saj med inovacijami za kakovost in učinkovitost ter inovacijami za čim večji izkoristek pri porabi energije, odpadkov in varnosti obstaja veliko sinergij, ki jih je treba izkoristiti.Po začetku veljavnosti Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 364/2004 z dne 25. februarja 2004 o spremembi Uredbe (ES) št. 70/2001 glede povečanja področja uporabe za vključitev pomoči za raziskave in razvoj [16], ki je bila vključena v Sporazum EGP s točko 1.f Priloge XV na podlagi Sklepa Skupnega odbora EGP št. 131/2004 (UL L 64, 10.3.2005, str. 67, in Dopolnilo EGP št. 12, 10.3.2005, str. 49), je pomoč za raziskave in razvoj za MSP izvzeta iz obveznosti priglasitve pod pogoji iz Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 70/2001 z dne 12. januarja 2001 o uporabi členov 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES pri pomoči za majhna in srednje velika podjetja [17], ki je bila v Sporazum EGP vključena s točko 1.f Priloge XV.
EFTA States, however, remain free to notify such aid.
Vendar lahko države Efte tako pomoč še vedno priglasijo.
If they decide to do so, this chapter will continue to be used for the assessment of such notified aid.While personnel costs are eligible in several of the measures covered by this chapter and a measure on aid for the loan of highly qualified personnel has been introduced, general employment and training aid for researchers continue to fall under the specific State aid instruments for employment and training aid, currently Commission Regulation (EC) No 68/2001 of 12 January 2001 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to training aid [18], incorporated into the EEA Agreement through Annex XV point 1.d by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 88/2002 (OJ L 266, 3.10.2002, p. 37 and EEA Supplement No 49, 3.10.2002, p. 13), and Commission Regulation (EC) No 2204/2002 of 12 December 2002 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to State aid for employment [19], incorporated into the EEA Agreement through Annex XV point 1.g by Decision of the EEA Joint Committee No 83/2003.Aid for research and development and innovation for undertakings in difficulty within the meaning of Chapter 16 of the State aid Guidelines, Aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty [20] is excluded from the scope of this chapter.2.2. Definitions
Če se odločijo to storiti, se bo to poglavje še naprej uporabljajo za oceno tako priglašene pomoči.Medtem ko so stroški dela upravičeni v več ukrepih, ki jih zajema to poglavje, in je bil uveden ukrep v zvezi s pomočjo za posojanje visokokvalificiranega osebja, pa splošna pomoč za zaposlovanje in usposabljanje raziskovalcev še vedno sodi v okvir posebnih instrumentov državne pomoči za pomoč za zaposlovanje in usposabljanje, trenutno Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 68/2001 z dne 12. januarja 2001 o uporabi členov 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES pri pomoči za usposabljanje [18], ki je bila v Sporazum EGP vključena s točko 1.d Priloge XV na podlagi Sklepa Skupnega odbora EGP št. 88/2002 (UL L 266, 3.10.2002, str. 37 in Dopolnilo EGP št. 49, 3.10.2002, str. 13), in Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 2204/2002 z dne 12. decembra 2002 o uporabi členov 87 in 88 Pogodbe o ES za državne pomoči na področju zaposlovanja [19], ki je bila v Sporazum EGP vključena s točko 1.g Priloge XV na podlagi Sklepa Skupnega odbora EGP št. 83/2003.Pomoč za raziskave in razvoj ter inovacije za podjetja v težavah v smislu poglavja 16 Smernic o državni pomoči, Pomoč za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah [20], je izvzeta iz področja uporabe tega poglavja.2.2 Opredelitve

In case of a subsequent commercial use of demonstration or pilot projects, any revenue generated from such use must be deducted from the eligible costs.
V primeru poznejše komercialne uporabe predstavitvenih ali pilotnih projektov je treba vse prihodke, ustvarjene s tako uporabo, odšteti od upravičenih stroškov.
The experimental production and testing of products, processes and services are also eligible, provided that these cannot be used or transformed to be used in industrial applications or commercially.

Preferably, the EFTA State should intend to create a proper balance of SMEs and large undertakings in the cluster, to achieve a certain critical mass, notably through specialisation in a certain area of R&D&I and taking into account existing clusters in the EFTA State and at EEA level.
Države Efte morajo po možnosti težiti k ustvarjanju pravilnega ravnovesja med MSP in velikimi podjetji v grozdu, da se doseže določena kritična masa, zlasti s specializacijo na določenem področju R&R&I ter ob upoštevanju obstoječih grozdov v državi Efte in na ravni EGP.
State aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement
Državna pomoč v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP
Generally, any funding meeting the criteria of 61(1) of the EEA Agreement will be considered to be State aid.
Na splošno bo katero koli financiranje, ki bo izpolnjevalo merila iz člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP, pomenilo državno pomoč.
For the sake of providing further guidance, situations typically arising in the field of Research, Development and Innovation activities are considered below.
Zaradi zagotavljanja nadaljnjih smernic so primeri, značilni za področje raziskovalnih, razvojnih in inovacijskih dejavnosti, obravnavani spodaj.
Research organisations and innovation intermediaries as recipients of State aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement
Raziskovalne organizacije in posredniki za inovacije kot prejemniki državne pomoči v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP
The question whether research organisations are recipients of State aid must be answered in accordance with general State aid principles.
Na vprašanje, ali so raziskovalne organizacije prejemniki državne pomoči, je treba odgovoriti v skladu s splošnimi načeli državne pomoči.
In line with Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement and the case-law of the EFTA Court and Community Courts, public financing of R&D&I activities by research organisations will qualify as State aid, if all conditions of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement are fulfilled.
V skladu s členom 61(1) Sporazuma EGP ter sodno prakso Sodišča Efte in sodišč Skupnosti se javno financiranje dejavnosti R&R&I s strani raziskovalnih organizacij šteje za državno pomoč, če so izpolnjeni vsi pogoji iz člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP.
In accordance with the case-law, this requires, inter alia, that the research organisation qualifies as an undertaking within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.
V skladu s sodno prakso to med drugim zahteva, da se raziskovalna organizacija šteje za podjetje v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP.
This does not depend upon its legal status (organised under public or private law) or economic nature (i.e. profit making or not).
To ni odvisno od pravnega statusa (organizirana po javnem ali zasebnem pravu) ali gospodarske narave (tj. profitna ali ne).
If the same entity carries out activities of both economic and non-economic nature, in order to avoid cross-subsidisation of the economic activity, the public funding of the non-economic activities will not fall under Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement, if the two kinds of activities and their costs and funding can be clearly separated [24].
Če isti subjekt izvaja gospodarske in negospodarske dejavnosti in je mogoče obe vrsti dejavnosti in njune stroške jasno ločiti [24], potem javno financiranje negospodarske dejavnosti ne sodi v področje uporabe člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP, s čimer se prepreči navzkrižno subvencioniranje gospodarske dejavnosti.
Evidence that the costs have been allocated correctly can consist of annual financial statements of the universities and research organisations.
Dokazila o pravilni razporeditvi stroškov lahko obsegajo letne finančne izkaze univerz in raziskovalnih organizacij.
The Authority nevertheless considers that the primary activities of research organisations are normally of a non-economic character, notably:
Kljub temu Nadzorni organi meni, da so osnovne dejavnosti raziskovalnih organizacij navadno negospodarske, zlasti:
education for more and better skilled human resources,
izobraževanje za več človeških virov in njihovo boljšo usposobljenost,
the conduct of independent R&D for more knowledge and better understanding, including collaborative R&D,
vodenje neodvisnih raziskav in razvoja za več znanja in boljše razumevanje, vključno s sodelovalnimi raziskavami in razvojem,
