Komisija je marca odobrila sheme pomoči za inovacije v ladjedelništvu za
III — State aid control building framework’)(197).
Nemčijo ( vega Okvira o državni pomoči ladjedelništvu („Okvir za ladjedelništvo“)(197).
All the above schemes follow a similar structure with regard to the eligibility of the recipients and projects, eligible costs and procedural requirements (e.g. the innovative project is assessed by an independent expert competent in the area of shipbuilding). e detailed conditions of application of the shipbuilding framework’s provisions on innovation aid result from close cooperation between the Commission and European industry.
Vse zgornje sheme imajo enako strukturo glede ustreznosti upravičencev in projektov, upravičenih stroškov in postopkovnih zahtev (npr. inovativni projekt oceni neodvisen izvedenec, pristojen na področju ladjedelništva). Podrobni pogoji uporabe določb okvira za ladjedelništvo o pomoči za inovacije izhajajo iz tesnega sodelovanja med Komisijo in evropsko industrijo.
Innovation aid may be granted to companies active in the building, repair and conversion of ships in support of the industrial application of products and processes the implementation of which carries a risk of technological or industrial failure, and which are technologically new or represent a substantial improvement over the state of the art in the shipbuilding industry within the EU.
Pomoč za inovacije se lahko dodeli podjetjem, dejavnim na področju gradnje, popravila in predelave ladij, v podporo industrijski uporabi proizvodov in postopkov, pri katerih je prisotno tveganje tehnološkega ali industrijskega neuspeha in ki so tehnološko novi ali znatno izboljšani v primerjavi z zadnjim stanjem tehničnega razvoja v ladjedelništvu znotraj EU.
Both will expire at the latest six years aer their approval by the Commission. e Spanish scheme will expire on 31 December 2006.
Obe shemi bosta prenehali veljati najkasneje šest let po odobritvi Komisije. Španska shema bo prenehala veljati 31. decembra 2006.
In addition to innovation aid, the latter also allows for aid to shipbuilding companies for regional investment, and for research and development.
Zadnja shema poleg pomoči za inovacije omogoča tudi pomoč ladjedelniškim podjetjem za regionalna vlaganja ter za raziskave in razvoj.
For all types of aid, the scheme’s total budget amounts to approximately EUR 20 million annually.
Za vse vrste pomoči znaša celotni proračun sheme približno 20 milijonov EUR na leto.
As part of a response to unfair Korean shipbuilding practices, in 2002 the Council adopted a temporary defensive mechanism (TDM) for shipbuilding as an ex- ceptional and temporary measure(198). e mechanism, which expired initially on the 31th March 2004, was extended by the Council until the 31st March 2005.
Kot del odziva na nelojalno ladjedelniško prakso Koreje je Svet leta 2002 sprejel začasni obrambni mehanizem (ZOM) za ladjedelništvo kot izjemni in začasni ukrep(198). Mehanizem, ki je prvotno prenehal veljati 31. marca 2004, je Svet podaljšal do 31. marca 2005.465.

Te sheme pa tudi druge sheme ZOM, ki jih je v preteklosti odobrila Komisija, so prenehale veljati 31. marca.
In 2005, the Commission approved two requests for extension of the three-year delivery limit imposed as a condition for receiving contract-related operating aid for ships pursuant to Council Regulation (EC) No 1540/1998 establishing new rules on aid
Komisija je leta 2005 odobrila dve zahtevi za podaljšanje triletnega dobavnega roka, ki je bil uveden kot pogoj za pridobitev pogodbe v zvezi z operativno pomočjo ladjam na podlagi Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 1540/1998 o določitvi novih pravil o pomoči
In a Greek case(

203), it was demonstrated that the delay in the work- to shipbuilding( ing programme of Neorion Shipyards SA was substantial and defensible and was caused by exceptional and unforeseen circumstances external to the company (the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq resulting in a decrease in bookings for luxury passenger cruises). e Commission was furthermore satised that the extension of the deadline was of a reasonable duration.
203) je bilo dokazano, da je zamuda v delovnem ladjedelništvu ( programu družbe Neorion Shipyards S.A. precejšnja in opravičljiva ter da so jo povzročile izredne in nepredvidene okoliščine zunaj družbe (teroristični napadi v Združenih državah Amerike 11. septembra 2001 ter vojni v Afganistanu in Iraku, kar je zmanjšalo število rezervacij za luksuzne potniške ladje). Komisija se je strinjala, da je bilo podaljšanje roka primerno dolgo.
In a Portuguese case(204), the extension in favour of Estaleiros Navais de Viana do Castelo SA was approved on the basis of the technical complexity of the vessel (e.g. delays due to the need to implement new standards for steel processing according to the requirements of the shipowner).
V primeru Portugalske(204) je bilo podaljšanje roka v korist družbe Estaleiros Navais de Viana do Castelo S.A. odobreno na podlagi tehnične zahtevnosti plovila (npr. zamude zaradi nujnosti izvajanja novih standardov za predelavo jekla v skladu z zahtevami lastnika ladje).

Pri uporabi okvira za ladjedelništvo je Komisija 2. februarja odobrila razvojno pomoč, ki jo je Nizozemska dodelila družbi BV Scheepswerf Damen Gorinchem za gradnjo vlačilcev za Gano(205) in za gradnjo treh plovil „iskanje in reševanje“ za Viet-nam(206).
Furthermore, on the 16th March and the 9th Novem- ber two development projects were authorised for Spain: the construction at Astilleros de Huelva SA of a tugboat for Bangladesh(207) and the construction at Astilleros Zamacona SA of a towboat for Mauritania(208).

As the restructuring process was partially implemented before the accession of Po- land to the EU on the 1st May 2004, the Commission first had to determine its jurisdiction with regard to these cases. e Commission has no competence under the EC or the Accession Treaty to investigate or order recovery of any aid granted before accession and not applicable aer accession (so-called ‘past aid’).
Ker je bil proces prestrukturira- nja delno izveden pred pristopom Poljske EU 1. maja 2004, je morala Komisija v zvezi s temi primeri najprej določiti svojo pristojnost.

While restructuring aid to the steel sector is generally prohibited under EU rules, two protocols to the Accession Treaty (on the restructuring of the Czech (No 2) and Polish (No 8) steel industry) grant a derogation from this rule. e protocols allow the granting of restructuring state aid on the basis of a national restructuring plan which must restore steel producers’ viability by 2006. e plan’s implementation is being monitored by the Commission(215).
Protokola dovoljujeta dodelitev državne pomoči za prestrukturiranje na podlagi nacionalnega načrta prestrukturiranja, ki naj bi ponovno vzpostavil sposobnost preživetja proizvajalcev jekla do leta 2006. Izvajanje načrta spremlja Komisija (215).
On the basis of a detailed assessment of all claims and waivers, the Commission concluded that the write-off of public claims was compliant with normal market behaviour and therefore did not involve state aid.
Komisija je na podlagi podrobne ocene vseh terjatev in odpovedi terjatvam sklenila, da je odpis javnih terjatev skladen z normalnim tržnim ravnanjem in zato ne vključuje državne pomoči.
However, it also decided that some EUR 4 million of restructuring aid previously given to the company was illegal and had to be recovered.
Vendar je Komisija tudi odločila, da je pomoč za prestrukturiranje v višini okoli 4 milijonov EUR, ki je bila družbi dodeljena prej, nezakonita in jo mora družba vrniti.
In this case, the Commission further honed its practice on the application of the private creditor test. e company had planned comprehensive restructuring in 2003, including a partial write-off of public and commercial debt claims.
Komisija je v tem primeru nadalje zaostrila svojo prakso glede uporabe preskusa zasebnega upnika.
On this basis and following a detailed assessment of all claims and waivers, the Commission concluded that the write-off of public claims was compliant with normal market behaviour and therefore did not involve state aid.

Komisija je na podlagi prvih odločb v zvezi z javno podporo širokopasovnim storitvam, sprejetih leta 2004, odobrila vrsto projektov, ki vključujejo državno nanciranje širokopasovne infrastrukture in storitev.

Accordingly, it is in line with EU policies(223).
Temu ustrezno je skladna s politikami EU(223).
In these cases the Commission considered that, while state aid was present, the authorities had proved the necessity of the intervention, which was implemented in a proportionate manner, including a multitude of safeguards. e Commission thus came to the conclusion that the state aid did not distort competition to an extent contrary to the common interest and was therefore compatible, in accordance with Article 87(3)(c).
Komisija je v teh primerih menila, da so, medtem ko je državna pomoč obstajala, organi dokazali nujnost posega, ki je bil sorazmeren in je zajemal številne nadzorne ukrepe.
It is worth noting that the use of open and non-discriminatory tender procedures has played an important role in excluding overcompensation and reaching a proportionate result in these cases.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da državna pomoč ne izkrivlja konkurence do mere, ki bi bila v nasprotju s skupnimi interesi, in je zato združljiva na podlagi člena 87(3)(c).

). is was the first time the Commission opened a formal inquiry concerning public support for broadband development following doubts regarding the compatibility of the measure. e outcome of the case is likely to aect similar projects all over Europe.
To je bilo prvič, da je Komisija uvedla formalno preiskavo v zvezi z javno podporo razvoju širokopasovnega omrežja na podlagi dvomov v zvezi z združljivostjo ukrepa. Rezultat primera lahko vpliva na podobne projekte po vsej Evropi.
Digital terrestrial television (DVB-T) (Austria and Germany)
Prizemna digitalna televizija (DVB-T) (Avstrija in Nemčija)
On the 16th March, the Commission issued its first decision regarding state support for digital broadcasting, concerning the Austrian Digitalisierungsfonds(228).
Komisija je 16. marca izdala prvo odločbo glede državne pomoči za digitalno razširjanje programa v zvezi z družbo Austrian Digitalisierungsfonds(228).
e Commission decided not to raise objections aer the measure had been substantially modied by the Austrian authorities during the notication process. e modi-cations ensured that the measure would comply with the principle of technology neutrality, i.e. it would not unnecessarily and unjustiably favour digital terrestrial (DVB-T) transmission over competing TV platforms. e measure consisted of dierent sub-measures: nancial support for pilot projects and research activities regarding digital TV transmission, nancial incentives for consumers to purchase digital receivers, grants to companies to develop innovative digital services and subsidies to broadcasters to compensate for additional transmission costs when broadcasting analogue and digital TV in parallel (‘simulcast phase’).
Spremembe so zagotovile, da bo ukrep v skladu z načelom tehnološke nevtralnosti, tj., ne bo po nepotrebnem in neupravičeno dajal prednosti prizemnemu digitalnemu (DVB-T) prenosu pred konkurenčnimi TV postajami. Ukrep je bil sestavljen iz treh podukrepov: finančna podpora za pilotne projekte in raziskovalne dejavnosti v zvezi z digitalnim TV prenosom, nančne spodbude potrošnikom za nakup digitalnih sprejemnikov, nepovratna sredstva podjetjem za razvoj inovativnih digitalnih storitev in subvencije radijskim in televizijskim postajam za nadomestilo dodatnih stroškov prenosa pri vzporednem analognem in digitalnem razširjanju televizijskega programa („simultana faza“).
On the 9th November, the Commission issued a final negative decision concerning subsidies in favour of DVB-T in the German Land of Berlin-Brandenburg(229).
Komisija je 9. novembra izdala končno negativno odločbo glede subvencij v korist družbe DVB-T v nemški deželi Berlin-Brandenburg(229).
It de- cided that subsidies worth some EUR 4 million granted to commercial broadcasters for use of the DVB-T network were incompatible with the common market and it ordered recovery of the part of the aid which had already been paid to broadcasters (about half the total).
Odločila je, da subven- cije v višini okoli 4 milijonov EUR, dodeljene komercialnim radijskim in televizijskim

III — State aid control rules. e aid was not based on any specic switchover costs and was decided aer the switchover had been agreed.
Pomoč ni temeljila na nobenih posebnih stroških preklopa, ampak je bila odločitev o njej sprejeta po dogovoru o preklopu.
Dierent amounts of funding were given without objective justication to broadcasters, who already beneted from receiving free digital licences which allowed greater transmission capacity at lower cost per channel. e subsidies thus indirectly favoured the DVB-T network over competing TV platforms, such as cable and satellite, disregarding the principle of technological neutrality.
Različni finančni zneski so bili brez objektivnih obrazložitev dani radijskim in televizijskim postajam, ki so že uživale ugodnosti brezplačnih dovoljenj za digitalni prenos, ki so omogočile večjo prenosno zmogljivost z nižjimi stroški na program. Poleg tega so subvencije posredno dajale prednost omrežju DVB-T pred konkurenčnimi TV postajami, kot sta kabelska in satelitska, pri tem pa se ni upoštevalo načelo tehnološke nevtralnosti.
In the decision, the Commission recognised that the digital switchover might be delayed if file entirely to market forces and that public intervention could be bene-cial. e onus is on Member States to demonstrate that aid is the most appropriate instrument, is limited to the minimum necessary and does not unduly distort competition.
Komisija je v odločbi priznala, da bi lahko prišlo do zamude pri digitalnem preklopu, če bi ga v celoti prepustili tržnim silam, in da bi javna intervencija lahko bila koristna. Države članice morajo pokazati, da je pomoč najprimernejši instrument, da je omejena na minimum, ki je potreben, in da neupravičeno ne izkrivlja konkurence.
In the case of Berlin-Brandenburg none of these conditions were met. e Commission recognised the existence of certain market failures, but found that the aid was neither the most appropriate instrument nor necessary to solve these problems.
V primeru dežele Berlin-Brandenburg nobeden od teh pogojev ni bil izpolnjen. Komisija je priznala obstoj nekaterih tržnih nepopolnosti, vendar ugotovila, da pomoč ni najprimernejši instrument in tudi ni nujna za rešitev teh težav.
Appeals against the decision were brought by Germany, FAB Fernsehen aus Berlin and Medienanstalt Berlin-Brandenburg.
Nemčija, družba FAB Fernsehen aus Berlin in družba Medienanstalt Berlin-Brandenburg so vložile pritožbo zoper odločbo.
Digital decoders (Italy)
Digitalni dekodirniki (Italija)
Whereas the Commission encourages the transition to digital TV and values interoperability, state support must avoid unnecessary distortions of competition between terrestrial, cable and satellite platforms.
Medtem ko Komisija spodbuja prehod na digitalno televizijo in ceni interoperabilnost, se mora državna pomoč izogibati nepotrebnemu izkrivljanju konkurence med prizemnimi, kabelskimi in satelitskimi postajami.
In this case, the subsidies were not tech-nology-neutral since they were not available for decoders using satellite broadcasting.
V tem primeru subvencije niso bile tehnološko nevtralne, saj niso bile na voljo dekodirnikom, ki uporabljajo satelitsko razširjanje programa.
As a result competition might have been distorted, particularly in the pay-TV market where entry by terrestrial operators had been facilitated.
Zato bi lahko prišlo do izkrivljanja konkurence, zlasti na trgu kodiranih oddaj plačljive televizije, kjer je bil vstop prizemnih operaterjev olajšan.
Besides the issues of digital switchover and technological neutrality, the decision also discusses the aspects of applicability of the Article 87(2)(a) derogation to measures that do not have a social character and of qualication as state aid of advantages granted indirectly to undertakings.
Odločba poleg vprašanj digitalnega preklopa in tehnološke nevtralnosti obravnava tudi vidike uporabe odstopanja od člena 87(2)(a) za ukrepe, ki nimajo socialnega značaja, in vidike kvalikacije ugodnosti, dodeljenih podjetjem posredno, kot državnih pomoči.
In the course of an existing aid procedure aimed at ensuring the ongoing compatibility of the licence fee schemes in force in these countries, the Commission formally
Komisija je med postopkom o obstoječi pomoči, usmerjenim v zagotavljanje stalne združljivosti veljavnih shem licenčnin v teh državah, formalno priporočila ustrezne ukrepe(230), ki so jih sprejele tri države.
Report on Competition Policy 2005 recommended appropriate measures(230) which were accepted by the three countries. ese recommendations aimed at securing compliance with the following principles: public and private broadcasters must compete on equal terms in commercial markets such as TV advertising; and the nancing of public broadcasters should not exceed the strict minimum necessary to ensure the proper execution of the public service mission, should not unduly benet commercial activities (cross-subsidies) and should be transparent.
Ta priporočila naj bi zagotovila spoštovanje naslednjih načel: javne in zasebne radijske in televizijske postaje morajo na komercialnih trgih, kot je oglaševanje na TV, konkurirati pod enakimi pogoji, nanciranje javnih radijskih in televizijskih postaj ne sme preseči minimuma, potrebnega za zagotavljanje ustreznega izvajanja poslanstva javne storitve, ne sme neupravičeno koristiti poslovnim dejavnostim (navzkrižne subvencije) in mora biti pregledno.
