In this respect it is worth noting that the Court of First Instance conrmed the Commission’s 2004 decision to block an energy merger in Portugal: that was a case in which the remedies submitted by the parties were not sucient to remove the competition concerns.
V tem pogledu je vredno zabeležiti, da je Sodišče prve stopnje potrdilo Odločbo Komisije iz leta 2004 o prepovedi združitve na področju energetike na Portugalskem: v tem primeru korektivni ukrepi, ki so jih predlagale stranke, niso zadostovali za odstranitev konkurenčnih težav.
We were also particularly vigilant to prevent Member States from putting in place any unjustied obstacles to cross-border mergers. e Commission will continue to review, both under internal market provisions and under Article 21 of the merger regulation, any interference by national authorities in relation to corporate restructuring.
Zelo budni smo tudi pri preprečevanju neutemeljenih ovir, ki bi jih države članice postavljale čezmejnim združitvam. Komisija bo še naprej pregledovala, v skladu z določbami o notranjem trgu in v skladu s členom 21 Uredbe o združitvah, vsako poseganje nacionalnih organov v zvezi s prestrukturiranjem podjetij.
If such interference would appear not to be justied by a legitimate public interest and/or would infringe the Treaty, the Commission will act decisively.
Če bo videti, da poseganje ni utemeljeno z upravičenim javnim interesom in/ali bi kršilo Pogodbo, bo Komisija odločno nastopila.
e eectiveness and credibility of state aid control presupposes proper enforcement of the Commission’s decisions. e Commission will therefore seek to achieve more eec-tive and immediate execution of its recovery decisions, which will ensure equal treatment of all beneciaries.
Učinkovitost in verodostojnost nadzora državnih pomoči predpostavljata primerno izvrševanje odločb Komisije. Komisija si bo zato prizadevala doseči bolj učinkovito in neposredno izvajanje svojih odločitev o vračilu državnih pomoči, ki bo zagotovilo enako obravnavo vseh upravičencev.
As announced in the state aid action plan, the Commission will monitor more closely the execution of the recovery decisions by Member States in accordance with their national procedures.
Kot že napovedano v akcijskem načrtu za državne pomoči, bo Komisija pobliže spremljala izvajanje odločitev o vračilu pomoči s strani držav članic v skladu z njihovimi nacionalnimi postopki.
Very substantial progress was made in 2005 to reduce the amount of illegal and incompatible state aid still to be recovered on the basis of decisions adopted since 2000.
Leta 2005 je prišlo do bistvenega napredka pri znižanju števila primerov nezakonitih in nezdružljivih državnih pomoči, ki jih je treba še vrniti na podlagi odločb, sprejetih od leta 2000 dalje.
And if it appears that recovery is not carried out in an immediate and eective manner, the Commission will continue to actively pursue noncompliance under the relevant articles of the Treaty.
Če se izkaže, da vračilo ni bilo izpeljano nemudoma in učinkovito, bo Komisija v primeru nespoštovanja določb še naprej aktivno uporabljala zadevne člene Pogodbe.
In 2005 the Commission endorsed revised impact assessment guidelines for EU legislation, which strengthen the assessment of the economic impact of proposed EU legisla-
Leta 2005 je Komisija odobrila revidirane smernice za oceno vplivov pri zakonodaji EU, ki krepijo oceno gospodarskega vpliva predlagane zakonodaje EU in zajemajo tudi preskus konkurence.

We are condent that this ‘competition screening’ — which we are also encouraging the Member States to carry out at national level — will contribute to the Commission’s better regulation agenda, by ensuring that any new legislation which restricts competition only does so to the extent necessary to meet consumer protection or other Treaty objectives.
Poročilo o politiki konkurence za leto 2005 pravno ureditev, z zagotavljanjem, da katera koli nova zakonodaja, ki omejuje konkurenco, to počenja samo toliko, kolikor je potrebno za izpolnjevanje ciljev zaščite potrošnikov ali drugih ciljev iz Pogodbe.
e ongoing sector inquiries, and other more informal initiatives, such as the Commission’s communication on professional services in the EU, also have a role to play in identifying possible barriers to eective competition resulting from regulation at EU or national level.
Trenutne preiskave sektorjev in druge bolj neformalne pobude, kot na primer Sporočilo Komisije o storitvah svobodnih poklicev v EU, imajo prav tako svojo vlogo pri zaznavanju možnih ovir za učinkovito konkurenco, ki izhaja iz ureditve na ravni EU ali na nacionalni ravni.
2005 was a busy year.
Leto 2005 je bilo zahtevno.
But we have laid solid foundations for delivering our priority objectives for this mandate, and which reect the key role which competition policy has to play in delivering the wider growth and jobs agenda which is the Barroso Commission’s number one goal.
Vendar smo postavili trdne temelje za doseganje prednostnih ciljev v tem mandatu, ki odsevajo ključno vlogo politike konkurence pri uresničevanju širše agende za rast in delovna mesta kot prvim ciljem Barrosove komisije.
I look forward to furthering and consolidating these achievements in 2006 and beyond.
Prepričana sem, da bomo te dosežke še izboljšali in okrepili leta 2006 in v naslednjih letih.

In 2005, the Competition DG made substantial progress towards a more eective and targeted application of the competition rules across all of our areas of activity.
V letu 2005 je GD za konkurenco naredil pomemben korak naprej v smeri učinkovitejše uporabe in ciljne usmerjenosti pravil konkurence na vseh področjih dejavnosti.
It saw the launching of the state aid action plan (SAAP), a far-reaching reform package designed to deliver more focused state aid rules in order to promote better-targeted aid, for example, aid which aims at promoting innovation, risk capital, research and development. e ultimate goal of the SAAP is to oer more predictability in the control of state aid, better economic results and better governance.
V tem letu je bil uveden Akcijski načrt državne pomoči, daljnosežen sveženj reform, ki naj bi pripomogel k oblikovanju natančnejših pravil o državni pomoči in tako spodbujal bolj ciljno usmerjeno pomoč, na primer pomoč, namenjeno spodbujanju inovacij, tveganega kapitala, raziskav in razvoja. Končni cilj Akcijskega načrta državne pomoči je povečati predvidljivost nadzora državne pomoči, izboljšati gospodarske rezultate in upravljanje.
State aid control also saw a signicant increase of workload in case-handling activities, with 676 new cases registered in 2005 (an 8 % increase compared with the previous year).
Na področju nadzora državnih pomoči se je tudi precej povečala delovna obremenitev pri dejavnostih obravnave zadev: v letu 2005 je bilo zabeleženih 676 novih zadev (kar pomeni 8-odstotno povečanje v primerjavi s predhodnim letom).
Cartels articially raise the price of goods and services, reduce supply and hamper innovation (so that consumers end up paying more for less quality), and can sig-nicantly increase the input costs for European businesses. e success of the Commission’s leniency programme, which has led to an increasing number of cartel investigations, is an encouraging sign of our policy’s eectiveness.
Karteli umetno dvigajo cene blaga in storitev, zmanjšujejo ponudbo in ovirajo inovacije (tako da potrošniki plačujejo več za manjšo kakovost) ter lahko precej povečajo vhodne stroške za evropska podjetja. Program prizanesljivosti, ki ga je uvedla Komisija, je obrodil sadove in število preiskav kartelov se je povečalo, kar priča o uspehu naše politike.
In 2005, the Commission adopted ve decisions against cartels; the fines imposed totalled EUR 683.029 million.
V letu 2005 je Komisija sprejela pet odločb proti kartelom, skupaj je bilo izrečenih za 683,029 milijonov EUR glob.
In order to reinforce cartel-ghting capabilities, in 2005 a dedicated Cartels Directorate was created in the Competition DG.
V letu 2005 je bil pri GD za konkurenco ustanovljen poseben direktorat za kartele, da bi še okrepili zmožnosti za boj proti kartelom.
e Competition DG’s other antitrust enforcement activity was marked by an increasing focus on addressing cases which involve practices most harmful to consumers.
Druge dejavnosti uveljavljanja protimonopolne zakonodaje GD za konkurenco je zaznamovala vse večja osredotočenost na obravnavanje zadev, ki vključujejo ravnanja, ki najbolj škodijo potrošnikom.
By way of example, the Commission sanctioned AstraZeneca for misusing the regulatory system in order to delay market entry of generic drugs competing with its blockbuster product Losec.
Komisija je tako na primer kaznovala družbo AstraZene-ca, ker je zlorabila regulativni sistem, da bi zadržala vstop na trg za generična zdravila, ki so bila konkurenčna njeni tržni uspešnici, proizvodu Losec.
Apart from formal infringement proceedings, use was also made of the new possibility oered by Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 to obtain binding commitments by undertakings with a view to solving competition issues. is was the case, for example, in relation to Coca-Cola’s commercial policy.
Poleg formalnih postopkov za ugotavljanje kršitev so se vprašanja konkurence reševala z uporabo nove možnosti, ki jo zagotavlja Uredba (ES) št. 1/2003 in ki zadeva obvezujoče zaveze podjetij. To se je na primer zgodilo z zvezi s trgovinsko politiko Coca-Cole.
A milestone in the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 1/2003 was the launching of the first two sector inquiries pursuant to Article 17: one in the nancial services sector and one in the energy sector (gas and electricity), both of them key for the achievement of the Commission’s wider policy objective of growth and jobs.
Prelomnica pri izvajanju Uredbe (ES) št. 1/2003 je bil začetek prvih dveh sektorskih preiskav v skladu s členom 17: ena je potekala v sektorju finančnih storitev, druga pa v energetiki (plin in električna energija), saj sta to ključna sektorja za dosego širšega političnega cilja Komisije v zvezi z ustvarjanjem rasti in delovnih mest.
With these sector inquiries, the Commission delivered on its commitment to a more proactive and econom-ics-based approach to enforcement. e Commission will use the results of these inquiries to determine if and what enforcement and regulatory actions are necessary in these sectors to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market.
S tema sektorskima preiskavama je Komisija izpolnila svojo zavezo za bolj proaktiven pristop k izvrševanju prava ob upoštevanju ekonomskih načel. Komisija bo na podlagi rezultatov teh preiskav ugotovila, ali in kateri izvršilni in ureditveni ukrepi so v teh sektorjih potrebni za zagotovitev pravilnega delovanja notranjega trga.
Analysing the results of these sectoral inquiries and giving them the appropriate follow-up will be major tasks for the Competition DG in 2006 and beyond.
Poglavitni nalogi GD za konkurenco v letu 2006 in naprej bosta analiza rezultatov teh sektorskih preiskav in ustrezno ukrepanje.
In the field of mergers, enforcement activity in 2005 increased, due to the current general upward trend in merger and acquisition activity. ere were 313 notied merger cases, which represented an increase of 25 % compared with 2004.
Na področju združitev se je dejavnost izvrševanja prava v letu 2005 povečala zaradi trenutnega splošnega rastočega trenda združitev in pripojitev. Priglašenih je bilo 313 primerov združitev, kar je povečanje za 25 % v primerjavi z letom 2004.
Investigations by the Competition DG also tend to rely on an increasingly thorough fact finding. e focus is on identifying competition concerns that correspond to a sound economic analysis and are grounded in facts.
Poleg tega preiskave GD za konkurenco temeljijo na vse bolj poglobljenem ugotavljanju dejanskega stanja. Poudarek je na zaznavanju konkurenčnih pomislekov, ki jih je mogoče ugotoviti s poglobljeno ekonomsko analizo in temeljijo na dejstvih.
Enhancing the eectiveness of the EU competition rules was a major aim of modernisation, one that can only be achieved by ensuring the proper functioning of the European Competition Network (ECN), which brings together the Commission and the national competition authorities (NCAs) of the Member States.
Eden od glavnih ciljev posodobitve je bil povečati učinkovitost pravil konkurence EU. Doseči ga je mogoče samo z zagotavljanjem pravilnega delovanja Evropske mreže za konkurenco (European Competition Network, ECN), ki združuje Komisijo in nacionalne organe za konkurenco držav članic.
e Competition DG plays, in coordination with the Information Society DG, an important role in the implementation of the regulatory framework for electronic communications adopted by the Commission in 2002, which builds on principles of EU competition law.
GD za konkurenco ima v sodelovanju z GD za informacijsko družbo pomembno vlogo pri uvajanju ureditvenega okvira za elektronske komunikacije, ki ga je Komisija sprejela leta 2002 in ki temelji na načelih prava konkurence EU.
Under that framework, the Competition DG is co-responsible, with the Information Society DG, for reviewing notications by national regulatory authorities of regulatory measures for electronic communications markets.
V skladu s tem okvirom si GD za konkurenco in GD za informacijsko družbo delita odgovornost za pregledovanje priglasitev nacionalnih regulativnih organov o ureditvenih ukrepih za trge elektronskih komunikacij.
In 2005, 201 such noti-cations (more than twice the corresponding figure for 2004: 89) were dealt with.
V letu 2005 je bilo obravnavanih 201 takšnih priglasitev (kar je več kot dvakratnik ustreznega števila za leto 2004, namreč 89 priglasitev).
Decisions adopted by the Commission on such notications have also nearly doubled in 2005 compared with 2004, going from 64 to 117.
Tudi odločbe glede teh priglasitev, ki jih je sprejela Komisija, so se v letu 2005 skoraj podvojile v primerjavi z letom 2004, njihovo število se je s 64 povečalo na 117.
In 2005, we also took important steps to ensure the eective implementation of Commission decisions in the competition field, as shown by the opening of formal proceedings for noncompliance in the Microso case (December).
V letu 2005 smo storili tudi pomembne korake za zagotovitev učinkovitega uveljavljanja odločb Komisije na področju konkurence, o čemer priča uvedba uradnega postopka zaradi neskladnosti v zadevi Microso (december).
In the state aid area, too, the amount of illegal and incompatible state aid to be recovered on the basis of decisions adopted between 2000 and mid-2005 has been reduced: of the EUR 9.4 billion total, some EUR 7.9 billion had been eectively recovered by the end of June 2005.
Tudi na področju državnih pomoči se je zmanjšal znesek nezakonitih in nezdružljivih državnih pomoči, ki jih je treba vrniti na podlagi odločb, sprejetih v obdobju od leta 2000 do sredine leta 2005: do konca junija 2005 je bilo dejansko povrnjenih približno 7,9 milijarde EUR od skupno 9,4 milijarde EUR.
In addition to the SAAP, the Competition DG made important progress on its ambitious review process in competition policy, which aims at extending competition enforcement to both enhance the eectiveness of the EU’s competition rules and promote competitiveness. e Competition DG discussion paper on the application of Article 82 EC to exclusionary abuses and the adoption of the Green Paper on damages claims will contribute to a strengthened competition culture in the EU.
Poleg Akcijskega načrta za državne pomoči je GD za konkurenco pomembno napredoval pri svojem ambiciozno zastavljenem postopku revizije politike konkurence, ki si prizadeva za razširitev izvrševanja prava v zvezi s konkurenco, s čimer bi povečali učinkovitost pravil konkurence EU in spodbudili konkurenčnost. Dokument GD za konkurenco za razpravo o uporabi člena 82 ES za nezakonito izključevanje in sprejetje Zelene knjige o odškodninskih zahtevkih bosta prispevala k boljši kulturi konkurence v EU.
Repealing the exemption will benet EU exporters by lowering transport prices while maintaining reliable services, thus enhancing the competitiveness of EU industry.
Preklic izjeme bo prinesel koristi izvoznikom EU, saj se bodo znižale cene prevozov in ohranila zanesljivost storitev, s čimer se bo povečala konkurenčnost industrije EU.
Finally, the Competition DG also invested considerable resources in 2005 in support of better regulation initiatives. is included, in particular, the screening of new initiatives
Končno je GD za konkurenco v letu 2005 vložil precejšnja sredstva v podporo pobudam za boljšo pravno ureditev. To je zlasti zajemalo preglede novih pobud, ki jih je izvajala
Introduction by the Commission to assess their impact on competition and competition advocacy vis-à-vis Member States.
Komisija, da bi ocenila njihov vpliv na konkurenco, in zavzemanje za konkurenco pri državah članicah.
Together with our own policy development work, these actions contributed to improving the eectiveness of competition rules and to providing transparency and predictability to the business community and consumers.
Skupaj z našim delom, vloženim v razvoj politike, so ti ukrepi prispevali k večji učinkovitosti pravil konkurence in zagotavljanju preglednosti in predvidljivosti za poslovno skupnost in potrošnike.
All in all, 2005 was a year of important progress both in terms of consolidation of the reformed competition regime for antitrust and mergers, and in the far-reaching reform of the state aid area.
Na splošno je bil v letu 2005 dosežen pomemben napredek v smislu krepitve reformiranega režima konkurence na protimonopolnem področju in pri združitvah podjetij ter v smislu daljnosežne reforme področja državnih pomoči.
2005 also brought important advances in the implementation of a more impact-oriented, economics-based approach to competition problems across existing instruments.
Leto 2005 je tudi prineslo pomemben napredek pri uveljavitvi pristopa k obravnavi konkurenčnih težav, temelječega na upoštevanju vplivov in ekonomske doktrine pri uporabi obstoječih instrumentov.
Finally, in 2005 the Competition DG launched important new projects — most notably the sector inquiries — whose results will lead to new initiatives and/or enforcement actions in the years to come. ese will benet EU consumers, whether individuals or businesses, and contribute to the competitiveness of the EU.
Leta 2005 je GD za konkurenco tudi začel izvajati pomembne nove projekte – najpomembnejše so bile preiskave sektorjev – ki bodo podlaga novim pobudam in/ali ukrepom za uveljavljanje pravil v prihodnjih letih. To bo koristno za potrošnike v EU, tako posameznike kot podjetja, in bo prispevalo h konkurenčnosti same EU.
MESSAGE FROM THE HEARING OFFICER e Commission created the post of hearing ocer in order to entrust the conduct of administrative proceedings in antitrust and merger cases to an independent person experienced in competition matters, with the integrity necessary to contribute to objectivity, transparency and eciency of those proceedings. e hearing ocer carries out this task in accordance with the mandate.
Komisija je vzpostavila funkcijo pooblaščenca za zaslišanje, da bi zaupala vodenje upravnih postopkov v primerih boja proti monopolom in primerih združevanj neodvisni osebi, ki ima izkušnje v zadevah konkurence in integriteto, ki je nujna za objektivnost, preglednost in učinkovitost teh postopkov. Pooblaščenec za zaslišanje izvaja svoje naloge v skladu s pooblastili.
