This Chapter of the Authority’s Guidelines is built on the experience acquired in the application of Part II of Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the EFTA States on the Establishment of a Surveillance Authority and a Court of Justice (Part II of Protocol 3) [2].
To poglavje Smernic Nadzornega organa temelji na izkušnjah, pridobljenih pri uporabi dela II Protokola 3 k Sporazumu med državami Efte o ustanovitvi nadzornega organa in sodišča („del II Protokola 3“) [2].
The principal aim of this Chapter is to provide guidance on the day-to-day conduct of State aid procedures, thereby fostering a spirit of better cooperation and mutual understanding between the Authority, the EFTA States and the legal and business community.
Glavni cilj tega poglavja je zagotoviti navodila pri vsakodnevnem izvajanju postopkov državne pomoči ter s tem spodbujati duh sodelovanja in medsebojnega razumevanja med Nadzornim organom, državami Efte ter pravno in poslovno skupnostjo.
A successful improvement of State aid procedures requires discipline on both sides and a mutual commitment from the Authority and the EFTA States.
Postopki za nadzor državne pomoči se lahko izboljšajo samo, če se Nadzorni organ in države Efte tega cilja lotijo skupaj in s potrebno disciplino.
The Authority will endeavour to enhance its cooperation with the EFTA States and interested parties, and will furthermore work to improve the conduct of its investigations and its internal decision-making process, in order to ensure greater transparency, predictability and efficiency of State aid procedures.
Nadzorni organ si bo prizadeval za spodbujanje sodelovanja z državami Efte in zainteresiranimi stranmi, poleg tega pa si bo prizadeval izboljšati izvajanje svojih preiskav in notranji proces odločanja, da bi s tem zagotovil večjo preglednost, predvidljivost in učinkovitost postopkov v zvezi z državno pomočjo.
In line with modern State aid architecture, this Chapter is the final part of a simplification package comprising the Authority’s Guidelines on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain types of State aid [3] and the Authority’s Guidelines on the enforcement of State aid law by national courts [4] which contributes to more predictable and transparent procedures.
V skladu s sodobno strukturo državnih pomoči je to poglavje zadnji del paketa poenostavitev, ki vsebuje Smernice Nadzornega organa o poenostavljenem postopku obravnave nekaterih vrst državnih pomoči [3] in Smernice Nadzornega organa o izvrševanju zakonodaje o državni pomoči na nacionalnih sodiščih [4], ki prispeva k temu, da bi postopki postali preglednejši in bolj predvidljivi.
The specific features of an individual case may however require an adaptation of, or deviation from, this Chapter [5].
Specifične značilnosti posamezne zadeve lahko vseeno zahtevajo spremembo tega poglavja ali odstopanje od njega [5].
Moreover, to the extent that the EEA Agreement applies to these sectors, the specificities of the fishery and aquaculture sectors and of the activities in the primary production, marketing or processing of agricultural products may also justify a deviation from this Chapter of the Guidelines.
Poleg tega, če se Sporazum EGP uporablja za te sektorje, lahko specifične značilnosti na področju ribištva in akvakulture ter dejavnosti na področju primarne proizvodnje, trženja ali predelave kmetijskih proizvodov prav tako upravičujejo odstopanje od tega poglavja smernic.
Relationship to EEA Law
Povezava z zakonodajo EGP
This Chapter is not intended to provide a full or comprehensive account of the relevant legislative, interpretative and administrative measures which govern State aid control.
Namen tega poglavja ni zagotoviti popoln ali celovit prikaz ustreznih zakonodajnih, razlagalnih in upravnih ukrepov, ki urejajo nadzor nad državnimi pomočmi.
It should be read in conjunction with and as a supplement to the basic rules governing State aid procedures.
Brati ga je treba v povezavi z osnovnimi pravili, ki urejajo postopke v zvezi z državno pomočjo, in kot njihovo dopolnilo.
This Chapter therefore does not create or alter any rights or obligations as set out in the EEA Agreement, Protocol 3 and Decision No 195/04/COL of 14 July 2004 [6] as amended, as interpreted by the case-law of the EFTA Court and the Courts of Justice of the European Union.
To poglavje torej ne ustanavlja in ne spreminja pravic ali obveznosti, ki jih določajo Sporazum EGP, Protokol 3 in Odločba št. 195/04/COL z dne 14. julija 2004 [6], kakor so bili spremenjeni in kakor jih razlaga sodna praksa Sodišča Efte in sodišča Evropske unije.
This Chapter sets out day-to-day best practices to contribute to speedier, more transparent and more predictable State aid procedures at each step of the investigation of a notified or non-notified case or a complaint.
To poglavje podrobno opisuje vsakodnevne najboljše prakse, s čimer prispeva k temu, da bi postopki v zvezi z državno pomočjo postali hitrejši, preglednejši in bolj predvidljivi v vseh fazah preiskave priglašene ali nepriglašene zadeve ali pritožbe.
The Authority’s experience demonstrates the added value of pre-notification contacts, even in seemingly standard cases.
Po izkušnjah Nadzornega organa stiki pred priglasitvijo prinašajo dodano vrednost tudi v zadevah, ki se na prvi pogled zdijo standardne.
Pre-notification contacts provide the Authority and the notifying EFTA State with the possibility to discuss the legal and economic aspects of a proposed project informally and in confidence prior to notification, and thereby enhance the quality and completeness of notifications.
Stiki pred priglasitvijo Nadzornemu organu in državi Efte priglasiteljici ponujajo možnost za neformalno, zaupno razpravo o pravnih in gospodarskih vidikih predlaganega projekta še pred priglasitvijo ter s tem izboljšajo kakovost in popolnost priglasitev.
In this context, the EFTA State and the Authority can also jointly develop constructive proposals for amending problematic aspects of a planned measure.
V tem okviru lahko država Efte in Nadzorni organ poleg tega skupaj razvijejo konstruktivne predloge za spremembo problematičnih vidikov načrtovanega ukrepa.
This phase thus paves the way for a more speedy treatment of notifications, once formally submitted to the Authority.
Ta faza tako omogoča hitrejšo obravnavo priglasitev, ko so uradno predložene Nadzornemu organu.
Successful pre-notifications should effectively allow the Authority to adopt decisions pursuant to Article 4(2), (3) and (4) of Part II of Protocol 3 within 2 months from the date of notification [7].
Uspešni postopki pred priglasitvijo bi morali Nadzornemu organu dejansko omogočiti, da bi odločitve v skladu s členom 4(2), (3) in (4) dela II Protokola 3 lahko sprejemal v roku dveh mesecev od datuma priglasitve [7].
Pre-notification contacts are strongly recommended for cases where there are particular novelties or specific features which would justify informal prior discussions with the Authority but informal guidance will be provided whenever an EFTA State calls for it.
Stiki pred priglasitvijo so zelo priporočljivi, kadar so prisotne posebne novosti ali posebne značilnosti, zaradi katerih bi bile upravičene neformalne predhodne razprave z Nadzornim organom. Neformalne smernice pa bodo zagotovljene, kadar koli bo država Efte to zahtevala.
The pre-notification phase offers the possibility to discuss and provide guidance to the EFTA State concerned about the scope of the information to be submitted in the notification form to ensure it is complete as from the date of notification.
Faza pred priglasitvijo ponuja možnost za razpravo in izdajo navodil zadevni državi Efte glede obsega informacij, ki jih je treba oddati na obrazcu za priglasitev, tako da je obrazec na dan priglasitve popoln.
A fruitful pre-notification phase will also allow discussions, in an open and constructive atmosphere, of any substantive issues raised by a planned measure.
Uspešna faza pred priglasitvijo poleg tega omogoča odprto in konstruktivno razpravo o morebitnih vsebinskih vprašanjih, ki se zastavljajo v zvezi z načrtovanim ukrepom.
This is particularly important as regards projects which could not be accepted as such and should thus be withdrawn or significantly amended.
To je zlasti pomembno pri projektih, ki jih v takšni obliki ne bi bilo mogoče sprejeti in bi jih bilo zato treba umakniti ali pa bistveno spremeniti.
It can also comprise an analysis of the availability of other legal bases or the identification of relevant precedents.
Zajema lahko tudi analizo razpoložljivosti drugih pravnih podlag oziroma ugotavljanje ustreznih precedensev.
In addition, a successful pre-notification phase will allow the Authority and the EFTA State to address key competition concerns, economic analysis and, where appropriate, external expertise required to demonstrate the compatibility of a planned project with the functioning with the EEA Agreement.
Poleg tega bo uspešna faza pred priglasitvijo Nadzornemu organu in državi Efte omogočila obravnavo ključnih pomislekov v zvezi s konkurenco, gospodarsko analizo ter, kadar je to ustrezno, zunanja izvedenska mnenja v dokaz združljivosti načrtovanega projekta z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP.
The notifying EFTA State may thus also request the Authority, in pre-notification, to waive the obligation to provide certain information foreseen in the notification form which in the specific circumstances of the case is not necessary for its examination.
Država Efte priglasiteljica lahko tako v fazi pred priglasitvijo Nadzorni organ prosi, naj jo oprosti obveznosti, da zagotovi nekatere informacije, ki jih sicer zahteva obrazec za priglasitev, vendar zaradi posebnih okoliščin zadeve za njeno preiskavo niso potrebne.
Finally, the pre-notification phase is decisive to determine whether a case qualifies prima facie for treatment under the simplified procedure [8].
Faza pred priglasitvijo je odločilna, da se določi, ali je primer prima facie upravičen do obravnave po poenostavljenem postopku [8].
Scope and timing
Področje uporabe in časovni okvir
In order to allow for a constructive and efficient pre-notification phase, it is in the interest of the EFTA State concerned to provide the Authority with the information necessary for the assessment of a planned State aid project, on the basis of a draft notification form.
V interesu zadevne države Efte je, da za zagotovitev konstruktivne in učinkovite faze pred priglasitvijo Nadzornemu organu odda potrebne informacije za oceno načrtovanega projekta državne pomoči, in sicer z osnutkom obrazca za priglasitev.
In order to facilitate swift treatment of the case, contacts by e-mails or conference calls will in principle be favoured rather than meetings.
Za poenostavitev hitre obravnave zadeve bodo imeli stiki po elektronski pošti ali konferenčni klici načeloma prednost pred sestanki.
Within 2 weeks from the receipt of the draft notification form, the Authority will normally organise a first pre-notification contact.
V dveh tednih od prejema osnutka obrazca za priglasitev bo Nadzorni organ praviloma organiziral prvi stik pred priglasitvijo.
As a general rule, pre-notification contacts should not last longer than 2 months and should be followed by a complete notification.
Praviloma naj stiki pred priglasitvijo ne bi trajali dlje kot 2 meseca, sledila pa naj bi jim popolna priglasitev.
Should pre-notification contacts not bring the desired results, the Authority may declare the pre-notification phase closed.
Če stiki pred priglasitvijo ne obrodijo želenih rezultatov, lahko Nadzorni organ fazo pred priglasitvijo razglasi za zaključeno.
However, since the timing and format of pre-notification contacts depend on the complexity of the individual case, pre-notification contacts may last several months.
Ker pa sta trajanje in vrsta stikov pred priglasitvijo odvisna od zapletenosti posamezne zadeve, lahko stiki pred priglasitvijo trajajo tudi več mesecev.
The Authority therefore recommends that, in cases which are particularly complex (for example, rescue aid, large research and development aid, large individual aid or particularly large or complex aid schemes), EFTA States launch pre-notification contacts as early as possible to allow for meaningful discussions.
Nadzorni organ zato priporoča, naj pri še posebej zapletenih zadevah (na primer pomoč za reševanje, obsežne pomoči za raziskave in razvoj, obsežne individualne pomoči ali posebej obsežne oziroma zapletene sheme pomoči) država Efta čim prej vzpostavi stike pred priglasitvijo, da omogoči smiselno razpravo.
In the Authority’s experience, involving the aid beneficiary in the pre-notification contacts is very useful, particularly for cases with major technical, financial and project-related implications.
Po izkušnjah Nadzornega organa je upravičenca do pomoči nadvse koristno vključiti v stike pred priglasitvijo, zlasti v zadevah, ki imajo pomembne tehnične in finančne posledice ter posledice v zvezi s projektom.
The Authority therefore recommends that beneficiaries of individual aid be involved in the pre-notification contacts.
Nadzorni organ zato priporoča vključitev upravičencev do individualne pomoči v stike pred priglasitvijo.
Except in particularly novel or complex cases, the Authority will endeavour to provide the EFTA State concerned with an informal preliminary assessment of the project at the end of the pre-notification phase.
Nadzorni organ si bo, razen v še posebej nenavadnih ali zapletenih zadevah, prizadeval dati neformalno predhodno oceno projekta zadevni državi Efte ob koncu faze pred priglasitvijo.
That non-binding assessment will not be an official position of the Authority, it will only represent an informal guidance on the completeness of the draft notification and the prima facie compatibility of the planned project with the functioning of the EEA Agreement.
Navedena nezavezujoča ocena ne bo uradno stališče Nadzornega organa, ampak bo le neformalno vodilo glede popolnosti osnutka priglasitve in prima facie združljivosti načrtovanega projekta z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP.
In particularly complex cases, the Authority may also provide written guidance, at the EFTA State's request, on the information still to be provided.
Nadzorni organ lahko zlasti pri zapletenih zadevah na prošnjo države Efte predloži tudi pisno pojasnilo o potrebnih dodatnih informacijah.
Pre-notification contacts are held in strict confidence.
Stiki pred priglasitvijo so strogo zaupni.
The discussions take place on a voluntary basis and remain without prejudice to the handling and investigation of the case following formal notification.
Razprave se odvijajo na prostovoljni osnovi ter ne vplivajo na obravnavo in preiskavo zadeve po uradni priglasitvi.
In order to enhance the quality of notifications, the Authority will endeavour to meet requests for training sessions by EFTA States.
Nadzorni organ si bo za izboljšanje kakovosti priglasitev prizadeval ugoditi prošnjam držav Efte za usposabljanja.
The Authority will also maintain regular contacts with EFTA States to discuss further improvements of the State aid procedure, in particular as regards the scope and content of the applicable notification forms.
Poleg tega bo Nadzorni organ vzdrževal redne stike z državami Efte ter z njimi razpravljal o nadaljnjih izboljšavah postopkov v zvezi z državnimi pomočmi, zlasti glede obsega in vsebine veljavnih obrazcev za priglasitev.
Mutually agreed planning
Sporazumno načrtovanje
In cases which are particularly novel, technically complex or otherwise sensitive, or which have to be examined as a matter of absolute urgency, the Authority will offer mutually agreed planning to the notifying EFTA State to increase the transparency and predictability of the likely duration of a State aid investigation.
Nadzorni organ bo pri še posebej nenavadnih, tehnično zapletenih ali sicer občutljivih zadevah, ki jih je treba obravnavati kot najnujnejšo prednostno nalogo, državi Efte priglasiteljici ponudil sporazumno načrtovanje ter s tem izboljšal preglednost in predvidljivost verjetnega trajanja preiskave državne pomoči.
Mutually agreed planning is a form of structured cooperation between the EFTA State and the Authority, based on a joint planning and understanding of the likely course of the investigation and its expected time frame.
Sporazumno načrtovanje je vrsta strukturiranega sodelovanja med državo Efte in Nadzornim organom na osnovi skupnega načrtovanja in dogovora glede verjetnega poteka preiskave ter njenega pričakovanega časovnega okvira.
In this context, the Authority and the notifying EFTA State could in particular agree on:
V zvezi s tem bi se lahko Nadzorni organ in država Efte priglasiteljica dogovorile zlasti o:
the priority treatment of the case concerned, in return for the EFTA State formally accepting the suspension of the examination [9] of other notified cases originating from the same EFTA State, should this be necessary for planning or resource purposes,
prednostni obravnavi zadevnega primera v zameno za to, da država Efte uradno sprejme odlog preiskave [9] drugih priglašenih zadev, ki izvirajo iz iste države Efte, če je to potrebno zaradi načrtovanja ali virov,
the information to be provided by the EFTA State and/or the beneficiary concerned, including studies or external expertise, or unilateral information-gathering by the Authority, and
informacijah, ki jih morata zagotoviti država Efte in/ali zadevni upravičenec, vključno s študijami ali zunanjimi izvedenskimi mnenji ali enostranskim zbiranjem informacij s strani Nadzornega organa,
the likely form and duration of the assessment of the case by the Authority, once notified.
verjetni vrsti in trajanju ocenjevanja zadeve s strani Nadzornega organa po priglasitvi.
In return for the EFTA State's efforts in providing all the necessary information in a timely manner and as agreed in the context of mutually agreed planning, the Authority will endeavour to respect the mutually agreed time frame for the further investigation of the case, unless the information provided by the EFTA State or interested parties raises unexpected issues.
V zameno za prizadevanja države Efte, da bo vse potrebne informacije zagotovila pravočasno in skladno z dogovorom, doseženim v sporazumnem načrtovanju, si bo Nadzorni organ prizadeval spoštovati sporazumno dogovorjeni časovni okvir nadaljnje preiskave zadeve, razen če se bodo zaradi informacij, ki jih bodo dale država Efte ali tretje osebe, pojavila nepričakovana vprašanja.
Mutually agreed planning will in principle be reserved for cases which are so novel, technically complex or otherwise sensitive that a clear preliminary assessment of the case by the Authority proves impossible at the end of the pre-notification phase.
Sporazumno načrtovanje bo načeloma namenjeno samo zadevam, ki so tako nenavadne, tehnično zahtevne ali sicer občutljive, da se ob koncu faze pred priglasitvijo izkaže, da Nadzorni organ ne more dati jasne predhodne ocene.
In such cases, mutually agreed planning will take place at the end of the pre-notification phase, and be followed by the formal notification.
Pri takšnih zadevah se bo sporazumno načrtovanje izvedlo ob koncu faze pred priglasitvijo, sledila pa mu bo uradna priglasitev.
However, the Authority and the EFTA State concerned may also agree, at the latter's request, on mutually agreed planning for the further treatment of the case at the outset of the formal investigation procedure.
Vendar pa se Nadzorni organ in zadevna država Efte na prošnjo slednje lahko na začetku formalnega postopka preiskave dogovorita tudi o uporabi sporazumnega načrtovanja pri nadaljnji obravnavi zadeve.
The preliminary examination of notified measures
Predhodni pregled priglašenih ukrepov
Requests for information
Zahteva za informacije
In order to streamline the course of the investigation, the Authority will endeavour to group requests for information during the preliminary examination phase.
Za poenostavitev poteka preiskave si bo Nadzorni organ zahteve za informacije v fazi predhodnega pregleda prizadeval razvrstiti v skupine.
In principle, there will therefore only be one comprehensive information request, normally to be sent within 4-6 weeks after the date of notification.
Načeloma bo zato podana ena sama skupna zahteva za informacije, ki se bo običajno poslala v 4 do 6 tednih po datumu priglasitve.
Unless otherwise agreed in mutually agreed planning, pre-notification should enable EFTA States to submit a complete notification thereby reducing the need for additional information.
Če se v sporazumnem načrtovanju ne dogovori drugače, bi morala faza pred priglasitvijo državam Efte omogočiti, da predložijo popolno priglasitev, s čimer se zmanjša potreba po dodatnih informacijah.
However, the Authority may subsequently raise questions most notably on points that have been raised by the EFTA States’ answers, although this does not necessarily indicate that the Authority is experiencing serious difficulties in assessing the case.
Vendar lahko Nadzorni organ pozneje razpravlja o vprašanjih, zlasti glede točk, ki so jih sprožili odgovori držav Efte, čeprav to ne kaže nujno, da ima Nadzorni organ resne težave pri ocenjevanju zadeve.
Should the EFTA State fail to provide the requested information within the prescribed period, Article 5(3) of Part II of Protocol 3 will, after one reminder, normally be applied, and the EFTA State will be informed that the notification is deemed to have been withdrawn.
Če država Efte zahtevanih informacij ne bo zagotovila v predpisanem roku, se bo po enem opominu običajno uporabil člen 5(3) dela II Protokola 3, država Efte pa bo obveščena, da se priglasitev šteje za umaknjeno.
The formal investigation procedure will normally be initiated whenever the necessary conditions are met, and generally after two rounds of questions at most.
Formalni postopki preiskave se bodo običajno začeli, kadar koli bodo izpolnjeni potrebni pogoji in načeloma po največ dveh krogih vprašanj.
Agreed suspension of the preliminary examination
Dogovorjeni odlog predhodnega pregleda
In certain circumstances, the course of the preliminary examination may be suspended if an EFTA State so requests to amend its project and bring it in line with State aid rules, or otherwise by common agreement.
V nekaterih okoliščinah se postopek predhodnega pregleda lahko odloži, če država Efte za to zaprosi, da bo svoj projekt spremenila in ga uskladila s pravili o državni pomoči, oziroma po dogovoru.
Suspension may only be granted for a period agreed in advance.
Odlog se lahko odobri samo za vnaprej določeno obdobje.
Should the EFTA State fail to submit a complete, prima facie compatible project at the end of the suspension period, the Authority will resume the procedure from the point at which it was halted.
Če država Efte po izteku časa odloga ne bo oddala popolnega, prima facie združljivega projekta, bo Nadzorni organ obnovil postopek od točke, na kateri se je ustavil.
The EFTA State concerned will normally be informed that the notification is deemed to have been withdrawn, or the formal investigation procedure opened without delay in case of serious doubts.
Zadevna država Efte bo običajno obveščena, da se priglasitev šteje za umaknjeno, v primeru resnih dvomov pa bo nemudoma uveden formalen postopek preiskave.
State of play contacts
Stiki v zvezi s trenutnim stanjem
At their request, notifying EFTA States will be informed of the state of play of an ongoing preliminary examination.
Države Efte priglasiteljice bodo na svojo zahtevo obveščene o trenutnem stanju predhodnega pregleda v teku.
EFTA States are invited to involve the beneficiary of an individual aid in these contacts.
Države Efte naj v te stike vključijo upravičenca do individualne pomoči.
In the light of the general complexity of cases subject to formal investigation, the Authority is committed to improving the transparency, predictability and efficiency of this phase as a matter of utmost priority, to contribute to meaningful decision-making in line with the needs of modern business.
Nadzorni organ se glede na splošno zapletenost zadev, ki se obravnavajo v formalnem postopku preiskave, zavezuje, da bo izboljšanju preglednosti, predvidljivosti in učinkovitosti te faze dal največjo prednost, da bi tako prispeval k smiselnemu postopku odločanja v skladu s potrebami sodobnega poslovanja.
