On the other hand, the report acknowledges that there are essentially three reasons why some regulation of professional services may be necessary: rst, asymmetry of information between customers and service providers: a de ning feature of professional services is that they require practitioners to display a high level of technical knowledge which consumers may not have; second, externalities, as these services might have an impact on third parties; and third, certain professional services are deemed to produce ‘public goods’ that are of value for society in general.
Po drugi strani pa poročilo ugotavlja, da obstajajo trije glavni razlogi, zaradi katerih bi bilo treba v določeni meri urediti poklicne storitve: prvič, nesorazmerje informacij med uporabniki in ponudniki storitev: za poklicne storitve je značilno, da so zanje potrebni strokovnjaki z visoko ravnijo strokovnega znanja, ki ga uporabniki morda nimajo; drugič, zunanji vplivi, ker te storitve lahko učinkujejo na tretje stranke; in tretjič, za določene poklicne storitve velja, da proizvajajo „javne dobrine“, ki so dragocene za družbo na splošno.
While the Commission acknowledges that some regulation in this sector is justified, it believes that in some cases more procompetitive mechanisms can and should be used instead of certain traditional restrictive rules.
Komisija sicer priznava, da je določena mera regulative v tem sektorju upravičena, vendar meni, da je v nekaterih primerih namesto določenih tradicionalnih omejevalnih pravil mogoče in treba uporabiti bolj konkurenčno usmerjene mehanizme.
When a professional body regulates the economic behaviour of its members, the regulations it adopts are decisions of associations of undertakings within the meaning of Article 81 EC.
Kadar poklicno telo ureja gospodarsko vedenje svojih članov, so predpisi, ki jih sprejme, sklepi podjetniških združenj v smislu člena 81 ES.
However, regulations which are objectively necessary to guarantee the proper practice of the profession, as organised in the Member State concerned, fall outside the scope of the prohibition contained in that article (172).
Vendar pa predpisi, ki so objektivno potrebni za zagotovitev ustreznega izvajanja poklica, kakor je organiziran v zadevni državi članici, niso zajeti v obsegu prepovedi, ki jo vsebuje navedeni člen (172).
State regulation which imposes or favours anticompetitive conduct or reinforces its e ects, infringes Articles 3(1)(g), 10(2) and 81 EC.
Državna regulacija, ki narekuje ali podpira protikonkurenčno vedenje oziroma krepi njegove učinke, krši člene 3(1)(g), 10(2) in 81 ES.
Where a State delegates its policymaking power to a professional association without sufficient safeguards — that is, without clearly indicating the public interest objectives to be respected, without retaining the power to take the decisions of last resort and without monitoring implementation — the Member State can also be held liable for any resulting infringement.
Kadar država prenese pristojnost oblikovanja politike na poklicno združenje brez zadostnih zaščitnih ukrepov – to je brez jasne navedbe ciljev javnega interesa, ki jih je treba upoštevati, brez zadržanja pristojnosti za sprejemanje odločitev na najvišji instanci in brez izvajanja nadzora – lahko država članica velja za odgovorno za kakršno koli kršitev, ki iz tega izhaja.
Ultimately, in the Commission’s view, in all scrutiny of professional regulation a proportionality test should be applied.
Po mnenju Komisije je treba pri vseh presojah poklicnih predpisov uporabiti preizkus sorazmernosti.
Rules must be objectively necessary to attain a clearly articulated and legitimate public interest objective and they must be the mechanism least restrictive of competition to achieve that objective.
Pravila morajo biti objektivno potrebna za dosego jasno oblikovanega in legitimnega cilja javnega interesa, poleg tega pa morajo biti mehanizem, ki najmanj ovira konkurenco pri dosegi tega cilja.
Such rules serve the interests of users and professionals alike.
Takšna pravila morajo služiti interesom uporabnikov in nosilcem svobodnih poklicev.
Regulatory authorities in the Member States and professional bodies are invited to review existing rules taking into consideration whether those rules are necessary for the public interest, whether they are proportionate and whether they are justified. e report also highlights the need to put in place mechanisms which are procompetitive and lead to greater transparency in order to strengthen consumer empowerment.
Regulativni organi v državah članicah in poklicna telesa so vabljeni k pregledu obstoječih pravil ob premisleku, ali so ta pravila potrebna za javni interes, ali so sorazmerna in ali so utemeljena. Poročilo tudi poudarja potrebo po uvedbi mehanizmov, ki podpirajo konkurenco in vodijo k večji preglednosti, da bi okrepili možnosti uporabnikov.
From an enforcement perspective it is clear that, since May, national competition authorities and national courts have had a more prominent role to play in assessing the legality of rules and regulations in the professions.
Z izvedbenega vidika je jasno, da so imeli od maja nacionalni organi za konkurenco in nacionalna sodišča vidnejšo vlogo pri oceni zakonitosti pravil in predpisov pri poklicih.
To the extent that competition restrictions have their centre of gravity in one Member State, administrative enforcement of the EU competition rules in the liberal professions will then mainly be the task of the relevant national competition authority. e Commission will, however, also continue to carry out casework where appropriate.
Če imajo omejitve konkurence svoje težišče predvsem v eni državi članici, bo upravno izvrševanje pravil konkurence EU v svobodnih poklicih naloga ustreznega nacionalnega organa za konkurenco. Kjer bo primerno, pa bo Komisija še naprej opravljala svoje delo v posameznih zadevah.
Coherent application of Articles 81 and 82 EC will be ensured through coordination in the European competition network of competition authorities.
Skladna uporaba členov 81 in 82 bo zagotovljena s koordinacijo organov za konkurenco v Evropski mreži za konkurenco.
Following the indications in the report, the Commission has invited the European professional bodies of lawyers, notaries, accountants, tax consultants, architects, and
Po navedbah v poročilu je Komisija povabila evropska poklicna telesa odvetnikov, notarjev, računovodij, davčnih svetovalcev, arhitektov in farmacevtov na dvostranske sestanke, da bi razpravljali o utemeljenosti obstoječih poklicnih pravil.

More generally, the Competition DG has also embarked on a dissemination process by keeping an open door for professional organisations that want to discuss directly with the Commission’s departments.
Na splošno se je GD za konkurenco lotil tudi procesa diseminacije, tako da je pustil odprta vrata poklicnim organizacijam, ki želijo razpravljati neposredno s službami Komisije.
Experience of past modernisation e orts in the eld of professional services in some Member States shows that a simple elimination of anticompetitive mechanisms may not be enough to bring about more competition in this sector.
Izkušnje iz preteklih prizadevanj za posodobitev na področju poklicnih storitev v nekaterih državah članicah kažejo, da preprosta odprava protikonkurenčnih mehanizmov morda ne bo zadoščala za dosego večje konkurence v tem sektorju.
Consequently the Competition DG and the Health and Consumer Protection DG have liaised with consumer organisations to obtain their views on the restrictions the Commission has identified and on the ways the professions might best be organised and take account of consumers’ interests.
Posledično sta se GD za konkurenco in GD za zdravje in varstvo potrošnikov povezala z organizacijami potrošnikov, da bi pridobila njihova mnenja glede omejitev, ki jih je določila Komisija, ter načinov, na katere bi lahko poklice najbolje organizirali in upoštevali potrebe potrošnikov.
It has been agreed that there is a need for procompetitive accompanying mechanisms which increase transparency and enhance consumer empowerment.
Obstaja strinjanje glede potrebe po konkurenčno usmerjenih spremljevalnih mehanizmih, ki povečujejo preglednost in pooblaščenost uporabnika.
Such mechanisms could include, for instance, active monitoring by consumer associations, collection and publication of survey-based historical data by independent organisations or public announcements of the abolition of tariffs. s.
Takšni mehanizmi bi na primer lahko vključevali dejavno spremljanje s strani združenj potrošnikov, zbiranje in objavljanje na raziskavi temelječih zgodovinskih podatkov s strani neodvisnih organizacij ali javne objave opustitve tarif.
333. ese developments concern the new Member States as well. e national competition authorities of some of these have been particularly active in this sector. e Commission has also extended the fact-finding concerning the rules and regulations a ecting liberal professions to the new Member States (173).
Nacionalni organi za konkurenco nekaterih od teh držav so bili v tem sektorju še posebej dejavni. Komisija je ugotavljanje stanja glede pravil in predpisov, ki zadevajo svobodne poklice, razširila tudi na nove države članice (173).
IV STATE AID CONTROL
IV NADZOR DRŽAVNIH POMOČI
It aims to raise awareness of State aid issues in national, regional and local authorities and national judiciaries.
Njen cilj je ozaveščati nacionalne, regionalne in lokalne organe ter nacionalne sodne oblasti o vprašanjih državnih pomoči.
At the same time, e orts to situate State aid control in the broad context of Community policies, in particular the Lisbon agenda, have been increased.
Hkrati so se povečala prizadevanja za umestitev nadzora državnih pomoči v širši okvir politik Skupnosti, zlasti v lizbonsko agendo.
337. e reform process should result in light, predictable and transparent procedures and economically sound and legally robust criteria for the assessment of State aid measures. is should make State aid control a er enlargement easier and enable the Commission to cope with the expected substantial increase in State aid measures in an enlarged Union. e legislative measures adopted or prepared in 2004 for this purpose are presented below.
To bi moralo olajšati nadzor državnih pomoči po širitvi in Komisiji omogočiti, da se spopade s pričakovanim večjim porastom ukrepov državnih pomoči v razširjeni Uniji. Zakonodajni ukrepi, ki so bili leta 2004 za to sprejeti ali pripravljeni, so predstavljeni spodaj.
On 21 April, the Commission adopted a set of rules implementing and clarifying Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 (174) (the procedural regulation), which sets out the procedure to be followed in State aid cases.
Komisija je 21. aprila sprejela sklop pravil, ki izvajajo in pojasnjujejo Uredbo (ES) št. 659/99 (174) (postopkovna uredba) o določitvi postopka, ki ga je treba uporabiti v primeru državnih pomoči.
Based on Article 27 of the procedural
Na podlagi člena 27 postopkovne uredbe – Uredba (ES) št. 794/2004 (175
175) (the implementing regulation) concerns regulation, Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 ( the form and content of notifications and annual reports, as well as other details such as time limits and their calculation and the establishment of the interest rate for the recovery of unlawfully granted aid.
) (izvedbena uredba) – obravnava obliko in vsebino obvestil in letnih poročil ter druge podrobnosti, kot so roki in izračuni rokov ter določitev obrestnih mer za vračilo nezakonito dodeljene pomoči.
A standardised format must be used for annual reports to be submitted by the Member States. ese improvements should accelerate the assessment and review process, since they will help avoid supplementary requests for information to the Member State in the course of State aid procedures.
Standardni obrazec se mora uporabiti v letnih poročilih, ki jih predložijo države članice. Te izboljšave naj bi pospešile ocenjevanje in postopek pregleda, saj bi državam članicam omogočile, da se izognejo dodatnim zahtevam po informacijah med postopki državnih pomoči.

Uredba Sveta (ES) št. 659/99 z dne 22. marca 1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 93 Pogodbe ES (UL L 83, 27.3.1999).Uredba Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 z dne 21. aprila 2004 (UL L 140, 30.4.2004).
A new compulsory notification form improves the e ciency of the Commission’s assessment of planned State aid measures. e form contains a set of questions dra ed along the lines of existing State aid frameworks and guidelines.
Nov obvezni obrazec za priglasitev izboljšuje učinkovitost ocene načrtovanih ukrepov državnih pomoči, ki jo opravi Komisija. Obrazec vsebuje sklop vprašanj o obstoječih okvirih in smernicah o državnih pomočeh.
341. ese notification forms are contained in Annexes I and II to the implementing regulation and consist of:
Ti obrazci za priglasitev so v prilogah i in II k izvedbeni uredbi ter so sestavljeni
— a general information part to be completed for every case;
• splošnega dela, ki ga je treba izpolniti v vseh primerih;
— a simplified notification form for the notification of the changes to existing aid measures mentioned in Article 4(2) of the implementing regulation (176). e information provided on this form allows the Commission to monitor existing aid under Article 88(1) EC.
• poenostavljenega obrazca za priglasitev sprememb obstoječih ukrepov pomoči, navedenih v členu 4(2) izvedbene uredbe (176). Podatki na tem obrazcu Komisiji omogočajo, da obstoječo pomoč spremlja v skladu s členom 88(1) ES.
Changes of a purely formal or administrative nature and increases in the original budget of an authorised aid scheme below 20 % are not considered to be alterations to existing aid and therefore do not require notification; cation;
Spremembe popolnoma formalne ali upravne narave in povečanje začetnega proračuna odobrenega programa pomoči do 20 % se ne štejejo kot sprememba obstoječe pomoči ter jih zato ni treba priglasiti;
— summary information sheets to give Member States precise indications on the information needed when notifying planned aid measures which might be covered by frameworks or guidelines. e summary information sheets do not alter frameworks or guidelines in any way, but only translate them into specific questions to facilitate handling of the notification. cation.
• obrazcev za povzetek informacij, ki dajo državam članicam natančna pojasnila o informacijah, potrebnih pri priglasitvi načrtovanih ukrepov pomoči, ki so lahko predvideni v okvirih ali smernicah. Obrazci za povzetek informacij nikakor ne spreminjajo okvira ali smernic, ampak jih preoblikujejo v posebna vprašanja za lažjo obdelavo priglasitev.
Article 3 of the implementing regulation specifies the mailing route from Member States to the Commission and vice versa. e Secretariat-General serves as a single entry point for initial contacts while State aid control is a shared responsibility of several Directorates-General in the Commission (Competition, Energy and Transport, Agriculture and Rural Development, and Fisheries and Maritime A airs) and ensures that notifications are allocated to the competent DG.
Člen 3 izvedbene uredbe določa načine pošiljanja iz držav članic Komisiji in obratno. Generalni sekretariat je edina vstopna točka za začetne stike, medtem ko je za nadzor državnih pomoči skupaj pristojnih več generalnih direktoratov Komisije (generalni direktorati za konkurenco, promet, kmetijstvo in ribištvo), ter zagotavlja, da priglasitve prejme pristojni generalni direktorat.
Once this allocation has been made, all further correspondence is exchanged between the notifying Member State and the Director-General of the competent DG.
Ko to priglasitev prejme ustrezni generalni direktorat, se vsi poznejši dopisi izmenjujejo med državo članico priglasiteljico in generalnim direktorjem pristojnega generalnega direktorata.
Compulsory electronic transmission of notifications is provided for as of 1 January 2006. is relatively remote date has been set in order to allow both Member States and the Commission to create safe technical conditions for such transmission (177).
Obvezno elektronsko pošiljanje priglasitev je predvideno od 1. januarja 2006. Ta sorazmerno oddaljeni datum je bil določen, da se državam članicam in Komisiji omogoči, da ustvarijo varne tehnične razmere za tako pošiljanje (177).
For transmissions prior to that date, Article 3(5) specifies that
Za pošiljke pred navedenim datumom člen 3(5) določa, da je treba telefakse pošiljati na številko, ki jo določi stranka prejemnica, in da se datum telefaksa
The changes specified in Article 4(2) are (i) increases in the budget of an authorised aid scheme exceeding 20 %, (ii) prolongation of an authorised scheme for up to six years and (iii) the tightening of the criteria for the application of the scheme, a reduction of aid intensity or a reduction of eligible expenses.
Spremembe, navedene v členu 4(2), so (a) povečanje proračuna potrjenega programa pomoči, ki je večje od 20 %, (b) podaljšanje obstoječega potrjenega programa pomoči do šest let ter (c) poostritev meril za uporabo potrjenega programa pomoči, zmanjšanje intenzivnosti ali zmanjšanje upravičenih stroškov.
The tightening of criteria needs to be notified (although it tends to enhance the goal of a reduction of State aid reiterated by several European Councils), because even if it may lead to an overall decrease in State aid, it may in individual cases change the character of the aid measure in question and reduce the incentive character of the aid.
Poostritev meril je treba priglasiti (čeprav namerava povečati cilj zmanjšanja državne pomoči, ki je bil večkrat poudarjen na zasedanjih Evropskega sveta), ker lahko v posameznih primerih, čeprav bi lahko pripeljala do splošnega zmanjšanja državne pomoči, spremeni naravo zadevnega ukrepa pomoči in zmanjša spodbujevalni značaj pomoči.
Conditions for secure and correct transmission as such, but also for confidential treatment of the information transmitted.
Pogoji za varno in pravilno pošiljanje kot tako, vendar tudi za zaupno obravnavo poslanih informacij.
By the end of the year preparation of electronic forms was well under way, with a pilot phase envisaged for mid-2005.
Do konca leta je priprava elektronskih obrazcev že dobro potekala, v sredini leta 2005 pa je predvidena poskusna faza.
IV — State aid control faxes should be sent to the number indicated by the receiving party and that the date of the fax is regarded as the notification date only if the original paper document is received within 10 days of the fax communication.
IV – Nadzor državnih pomoči šteje kot datum priglasitve samo ob prejemu podpisanega izvirnika v roku desetih dni po datumu telefaksa.
Article 5 provides how annual reports on existing aid schemes should be structured. e implementing regulation contains specific annexes for annual reports in the areas of agriculture and sheries. e date for transmission of annual reports by Member States has been advanced (to no later than 30 June each year) to allow the composition of the State aid scoreboard (see below under ‘Transparency’) and a meaningful analysis of the situation in time for the European Councils concerned.
Izvedbena uredba vsebuje posebne priloge za letna poročila na področjih kmetijstva in ribištva. Datum, do katerega morajo države članice poslati letna poročila, je bil podaljšan (do najpozneje 30. junija vsako leto), da se tako omogočita sestava poročila o državnih pomočeh (glej spodaj pod „Preglednost“) in jasna analiza položaja med zadevnimi zasedanji Evropskega sveta.
In some areas, such as scal aid, availability of exact gures depends on the recipient’s tax declaration. erefore, estimates are accepted in justified cases provided that exact gures are communicated at the very latest in the following reporting exercise.
Na nekaterih področjih, kot je davčna pomoč, je razpoložljivost natančnih številk odvisna od davčne napovedi prejemnika. Zato se ocene v utemeljenih primerih sprejmejo, če se natančne številke sporočijo najpozneje v naslednjem poročilu.
Article 8 clarifies the rules for calculation of time limits (178).
Člen 8 pojasnjuje pravila za izračun rokov (178).
Requests for extension of time limits must be duly substantiated in writing and made at least two days before the original deadline expires. ey must be sent to the address designated by the party setting the time limit.
Zahtevki za podaljšanje roka se ustrezno utemeljijo ter pošljejo v pisni obliki vsaj dva delovna dneva pred iztekom roka. Poslati jih je treba na naslov, ki ga določi stranka, ki je rok postavila.
Chapter V of the implementing regulation lays down the method of xing the interest rate and applying interest in recovery cases.
Poglavje V izvedbene uredbe opredeljuje metodo določitve obrestnih mer in način uporabe obrestnih mer v primerih vračila pomoči.
As regards recovery of illegal aid, Article 11 provides that compound interest will be applied in order to ensure full neutralisation (179) of the nancial advantages resulting from unlawfully paid aid. e approach chosen is in line with a recent Commission communication (180) on the subject.
V zvezi z vračilom nezakonite pomoči člen 11 določa, da se uporabi obrestna mera na podlagi obrestnoobrestnega računa, s katero se zagotovi popolna nevtralizacija (179) nančnih ugodnosti, ki izhajajo iz nezakonito plačane pomoči. Izbrani pristop je usklajen z nedavnim sporočilom Komisije (180) na to temo.
e interest rate will be calculated on the basis of the interbank swap rate and where no such rate or similar reference instrument exists in a Member State, the Commission will x the applicable rate in close cooperation with the Member State concerned. is possibility will be of relevance mainly for new Member States.
Obrestna mera se bo izračunala na podlagi medbančne menjalne obrestne mere in kadar v državi članici ni nobene take mere ali podobnega referenčnega instrumenta, bo Komisija veljavno mero določila v tesnem sodelovanju z zadevno državo članico. Ta možnost bo zlasti veljala za nove države članice.
While the implementing regulation itself is set for review within four years, its annexes will be continually amended in line with the parallel legislative process of reviewing guidelines and frameworks or adopting new regulations applicable to State aid measures in particular sectors.
Medtem ko je za samo izvedbeno uredbo določeno, da se pregleda vsaka štiri leta, se bodo njene priloge nenehno spreminjale glede na vzporedni zakonodajni proces pregledovanja smernic in okvirov ali sprejemanja novih predpisov, ki veljajo za ukrepe državnih pomoči v določenih sektorjih.
It should be noted that this regulation applies as well to the agricultural sector.
Opozoriti je treba, da ta uredba velja tudi za kmetijstvo.
The rules adding clarifications for the State aid sector refer to Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 1182/71 of 3 June 1971.Recovery should restore the situation existing before the illegal aid.
Pravila, ki dodajajo pojasnila za področje državnih pomoči, se nanašajo na Uredbo Sveta (EGS, Euratom) št. 1182/71 z dne 3. junija 1971.Vračilo bi moralo ponovno vzpostaviti stanje, ki je obstajalo pred nezakonito pomočjo.
