Report on competition policy 2004 — Volume 1 to assess the compatibility of measures that constituted aid which, although granted in the past, extended beyond the date of accession of these countries.
Za zagotovitev ocene teh posredovanj so pristopne pogodbe Komisijo pooblastile, da oceni združljivost ukrepov, ki so pomenili pomoč, ki se je, čeprav odobrena v preteklosti, nadaljevala prek datuma pristopa teh držav.
In 2004, the Commission adopted 16 decisions declaring that the measures were ‘not applicable a er accession’. is means that the measures in question were granted in their entirety before the accession date without the potential of additional aid being granted a er accession, and thus the Commission was neither required nor empowered to assess such measures.
Leta 2004 je Komisija sprejela 16 odločb, ki so razglašale, da se ukrepi „niso uporabljali po pristopu“. To pomeni, da so bili obravnavani ukrepi v celoti odobreni pred dnevom pristopa brez možnosti, da bi bila po pristopu odobrena dodatna pomoč, in da torej Komisiji ni bilo treba oceniti niti ni bila pooblaščena za oceno takih ukrepov.
However, in two cases, the

), the Commission decided to open proceedings as it found that some of the measures that were ‘applicable a er accession’ constituted State aid on which it had serious doubts as to their compatibility with the common market.
Poročilo o politiki konkurence za leto 2004 – Zvezek 1 ukrepov, ki so se „uporabljali po pristopu“, pomenili državno pomoč, o kateri je imela resne dvome glede njihove združljivosti s skupnim trgom.
In the accession negotiations Slovakia was granted a transitional exemption from the EU State aid rules, under which Slovakia could continue to grant tax aid to US Steel Košice a er accession until the end of scal year 2009.
V pristopnih pogajanjih je bilo Slovaški odobreno prehodno odstopanje od pravil EU o državni pomoči, na podlagi katerega lahko Slovaška po pristopu nadaljuje dodeljevanje davčne pomoči podjetju US Steel Košice do konca davčnega leta 2009.
A half-yearly reporting obligation is also imposed on Slovakia by Annex XIV to the Act of Accession. e rst report submitted by Slovakia showed that the production caps were not respected in 2002 and 2003.
Priloga XIV k Pristopni pogodbi za Slovaško tudi določa obveznost polletnega poročanja. Prvo poročilo, ki ga je predložila Slovaška, kaže, da med letoma 2002 in 2003 zgornje meje proizvodnje niso bile upoštevane.
In order to counterbalance the e ect of the overproduction the Slovak government proposed a significant reduction in State aid granted to US Steel and asked the Commission for a revision of the conditions for granting the transitional period.
Za izravnavo učinka čezmerne proizvodnje je slovaška vlada predlagala precejšnje znižanje državne pomoči, odobrene podjetju US Steel, in Komisijo zaprosila za revizijo pogojev za odobritev prehodnega obdobja.
Additionally, the beneficiary is required to make a tax payment of USD 32 million to the Slovak government, paid in two equal instalments during 2004 and 2005.
Poleg tega mora upravičenec slovaški vladi plačati davek v višini 32 milijonov USD v dveh enakih obrokih leta 2004 in 2005.
US Steel Košice must respect the production cap from 1 January 2004 and the sales caps as from 1 May 2004.
US Steel Košice mora upoštevati zgornjo mejo proizvodnje od 1. januarja 2004 in zgornjo mejo prodaje od 1. maja 2004.
US Steel Košice is also required to respect the condition that it must not extend its range of groups of nished products existing on 13 December 2002 and must continue to meet the terms of the privatisation contract.
US Steel Košice mora prav tako upoštevati pogoj, da ne sme razširiti svojega obsega skupin končnih proizvodov, ki obstaja na dan 13. decembra 2002, in mora še naprej izpolnjevati pogoje privatizacijske pogodbe.
On 25 October, the Slovak government accepted the Commission proposal for appropriate measures and confirmed that US Steel Kosice had paid the rst tax instalment of SKK 525 488 000 (USD 16 million).
Slovaška vlada je 25. oktobra sprejela predlog Komisije za ustrezne ukrepe in potrdila, da je podjetje US Steel Košice plačalo prvi davčni obrok v višini 525 488 000 SKK (16 milijonov USD).
On 14 December, the Commission decided to launch an in-depth probe into possible State aid to Třinecké železárny a.s.
Komisija se je 14. decembra odločila, da uvede poglobljeno preiskavo morebitne državne pomoči za podjetje Třinecké železárny a.s.
(TZ), a producer of steel in the Czech Republic (290). e Commission will investigate whether certain State measures could constitute disguised restructuring aid.
(TZ), proizvajalca jekla v Češki republiki (290). Komisija bo raziskala, ali bi lahko nekateri državni ukrepi pomenili prikrito pomoč za prestrukturiranje.
Restructuring State aid may be granted to the Czech steel industry only under the national restructuring programme accepted by the EU in Protocol No 2 to the Act of Accession and only to companies included in it.
Državna pomoč za prestrukturiranje se lahko za češko jeklarsko industrijo odobri samo v okviru nacionalnega programa prestrukturiranja, ki ga je sprejela EU v Protokolu 2 k Pristopni pogodbi, in samo za podjetja, vključena vanj.
TZ is not one of these companies and so is not eligible for restructuring aid. e Commission considers that the aid granted for environmental and R & D projects is compatible with the relevant EU State aid rules. However, it has doubts as to the compatibility of the aid granted for closure and training projects. e Commission will also investigate whether the price paid by the Czech Government for the shares which it acquired from TZ was the market price. 9.
IV – Nadzor državnih pomoči odobrene za projekte zapiranja in usposabljanja. Komisija bo tudi raziskala, ali je bila cena, ki jo je češka vlada plačala za delnice podjetja TZ, tržna cena.
According to the 1998 shipbuilding regulation (291), the last delivery date for a ship to qualify for contract-related operating aid was 31 December 2003.
V skladu z Uredbo o ladjedelništvu (291) iz leta 1998 je bil zadnji datum dobave za to, da bi bila ladja upravičena do pomoči za obratovanje, povezane s pogodbo, 31. december 2003.
Ships delivered later would not, in principle, be eligible for such aid.
Ladje, dobavljene pozneje, naj bi načeloma ne bile upravičene do take pomoči.
On 20 October, the Commission took a decision, following a notification from Italy, concerning the delivery limit for ve cruise ships produced by Fincantieri, an Italian shipbuilding group.
Komisija je 20. oktobra po priglasitvi Italije sprejela odločbo o dobavnem roku za pet potniških ladij, ki jih je izdelala italijanska ladjedelniška skupina Fincantieri.
Italy argued that the reason for the delays was that the shipowner requested deliveries to be postponed owing to the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001 (292).
Italija je trdila, da je bil razlog za zamudo zahteva ladjarja, da se dobava preloži zaradi terorističnih napadov 11. septembra 2001 (292).
In its decision the Commission on the one hand approved the extension of the delivery limit for four of the ships, since the argument put forward by Italy was considered to be covered by the exceptions foreseen in the shipbuilding regulation and since Fincantieri had the technical capacity to deliver the ships by the end of 2003.
Komisija je v svoji odločbi na eni strani odobrila podaljšanje dobavnega roka za štiri ladje, ker je menila, da je argument, ki ga je navedla Italija, zajet v izjemah, ki jih predvideva Uredba o ladjedelništvu, in ker je skupina Fincantieri imela tehnične zmogljivosti za dobavo ladij do konca leta 2003.
Report on competition policy 2004 — Volume 1 the ships, since it had doubts that Fincantieri ever had the technical capacity to deliver that ship by 31 December 2003.
Vendar pa se je Komisija odločila, da uvede uradno preiskavo v zvezi z eno od ladij, ker je dvomila, da je skupina Fincantieri kdaj koli imela tehnično zmogljivost za dobavo te ladje do 31. decembra 2003.
A er the unification of Germany, the former East German shipyards received exceptionally large amounts of State aid for their restructuring.
Po združitvi Nemčije so ladjedelnice bivše Vzhodne Nemčije prejele izjemno velike zneske državne pomoči za svoje prestrukturiranje.
Between 1993 and 1995, in the context of the privatisation and restructuring of the eastern German shipyard Warnow Wer (now Kvaerner Warnow Wer, KWW), the Commission approved aid totalling EUR 639.4 million.
Med letoma 1993 in 1995 je Komisija v okviru privatizacije in prestrukturiranja vzhodnonemške ladjedelnice Warnow Wer(zdaj Kvaerner Warnow Wer, KWW) odobrila pomoč v skupnem znesku 639,4 milijona EUR.
Following reports of a EUR 200 million loan from Kvaerner Warnow Werto its parent company, the Commission suspected that the shipyard had received more aid than necessary to o set losses from certain shipbuilding contracts.
Na podlagi poročil o 200 milijonih EUR posojila podjetja Kvaerner Warnow Wer svojemu matičnemu podjetju je Komisija posumila, da je ladjedelnica prejela več pomoči, kot je bilo potrebno za izravnavo izgub iz nekaterih ladjedelniških pogodb.
In its nal decision the Commission concluded that Kvaerner Warnow Werhad indeed received a larger amount of aid than necessary to compensate for losses from certain shipbuilding contracts.
V svoji dokončni odločbi je Komisija sklenila, da je Kvaerner Warnow Werdejansko prejel večji znesek pomoči, kot je bil potreben za izravnavo izgub iz nekaterih ladjedelniških pogodb.
However, during the investigation Kvaerner Warnow Wer was able to prove the existence of additional costs which could be attributed to the shipbuilding contracts and which resulted in increased losses.
Vendar pa je bil Kvaerner Warnow Wer med preiskavo sposoben dokazati obstoj dodatnih stroškov, ki jih je bilo mogoče pripisati ladjedelniškim pogodbam in ki so povzročili večje izgube.
Taking into account further comments and clarifications from the German government and the company that Kvaerner did not receive all non-cash operating aid, the Commission ordered the recovery of EUR 13 million, which was considered to be the resulting excess aid.
Ob upoštevanju nadaljnjih pripomb in pojasnil nemške vlade in podjetja, da Kvaerner ni prejel vse nedenarne pomoči za tekoče poslovanje, je Komisija odredila vračilo 13 milijonov EUR, za katere je menila, da so posledična presežna pomoč.
During 1992 and 1997, the ve shipyards in eastern Germany underwent radical restructuring.
Med letoma 1992 in 1997 je pet ladjedelnic v vzhodni Nemčiji doživelo korenito prestrukturiranje.
To compensate for the distortive e ects of the restructuring aid on competition, Germany was required to reduce overall shipbuilding capacity in eastern Germany by 40 %.
Za izravnavo učinkov izkrivljanja konkurence, ki jih je imela pomoč za prestrukturiranje, je morala Nemčija celotno ladjedelniško zmogljivost v vzhodni Nemčiji zmanjšati za 40 %.
However, in its judgment of 29 April concerning Kvaerner Warnow Werthe Court of Justice ruled that the Commission was wrong in interpreting the capacity limitation as a limitation of actual production. e capacity limitation, in the light of the Commission decisions adopted between 1993 and 1995 authorising the aid, had to be understood as a technical limitation of the production facilities.
Vendar pa je Sodišče v svoji sodbi z dne 29. aprila v zvezi s podjetjem Kvaerner Warnow Wer razsodilo, da si je Komisija napačno razlagala omejitev zmogljivosti kot omejitev dejanske proizvodnje.
As long as the production facilities of the yard as described in the Commission decisions authorising
Omejitev zmogljivosti je bilo treba na podlagi odločb Komisije o odobritvi pomoči, sprejetih med letoma 1993 in 1995, razumeti kot tehnično omejitev proizvodnih zmogljivosti.
IV — State aid control the aid were not changed, Kvaerner Warnow Wer could produce beyond its technical capacity.
Dokler proizvodne zmogljivosti ladjedelnice, kot so bile opisane v odločbah Komisije o odobritvi pomoči, niso bile spremenjene, je lahko proizvodnja Kvaerner Warnow Wer presegala tehnične zmogljivosti.
Taking into account the reasoning of the Court and in the interests of consistency and equal treatment, the Commission decided to consider the capacity limitations of certain German, Spanish and Greek shipyards as merely technical limitations in so far as the decisions were based on Council Directive (EEC) No 90/684 as amended.
Komisija je ob upoštevanju razlage Sodišča ter v interesu doslednosti in enake obravnave sklenila, da omejitve zmogljivosti nekaterih nemških, španskih in grških ladjedelnic obravnava kot zgolj tehnične omejitve, v kolikor so odločbe temeljile na Direktivi Sveta (EGS) 90/684, kot je bila spremenjena.
However, the monitoring of technical capacity limitations will continue in the light of the individual provisions for the shipyards concerned until the date specified in each of the decisions on restructuring aid (294).
Vendar pa se bo spremljanje omejitev tehnične zmogljivosti nadaljevalo na podlagi posameznih določb za zadevne ladjedelnice do datuma, določenega v vsaki od odločb o pomoči za prestrukturiranje (294).
Overall, the Commission raised no objections to 212 measures.
Komisija ni podala ugovorov na skupno 212 ukrepov.
Several of these measures were approved a er the Member States concerned either amended them or undertook to amend them in order to bring them into line with Community State aid rules. e Commission started the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) EC in respect of eight cases, where the measures concerned raised serious doubts of incompatibility with the common market. e Commission closed the Article 88(2) procedure in respect of 14 cases.
Nekateri od teh ukrepov so bili odobreni potem, ko jih je zadevna država članica bodisi spremenila bodisi se je zavezala, da jih bo spremenila, da bi jih uskladila s pravili Skupnosti o državni pomoči. Komisija
Report on competition policy 2004 — Volume 1
Naslednji pregled je izbor primerov, ki so odpirali najzanimivejša vprašanja v smislu politike državnih pomoči v kmetijskem in kmetijsko-industrijskem sektorju v letu 2004.
On 19 February, the Commission adopted a positive nal decision (295) declaring compatible with the Treaty aid for investments for environmental protection granted in France before 2000.
Komisija je 19. februarja sprejela pozitivno dokončno odločbo (295), ki je pomoč za naložbe za varstvo okolja, odobreno v Franciji pred letom 2000, razglasila za združljivo s Pogodbo.
A proceeding had been opened because France had granted up to 60 % investment aid at a time when it was only possible to grant 35 %. e rate of 35 % had also been authorised in a decision which France had not respected by granting more aid.
Postopek je bil uveden, ker je Francija odobrila do 60 % pomoči za naložbe v času, ko je bilo mogoče odobriti le 35 %. Stopnja 35 % je bila tudi odobrena v odločbi, ki je Francija ni upoštevala, ko je odobrila več pomoči.
However, since 2000 the Commission had increased the maximum aid rate allowed. is higher aid rate has been confirmed in Article 4 of the exemption Regulation (EC) No 1/2004, which applies retroactively to aid granted before its entry into force.
Vendar pa je z letom 2000 Komisija povečala najvišjo dovoljeno stopnjo pomoči. Ta višja stopnja pomoči je bila potrjena v členu 4 Uredbe o oprostitvi (ES) št. 1/2004, ki se z veljavnostjo za nazaj uporablja za pomoč, odobreno pred njenim začetkom veljavnosti.
On 30 March, the Commission decided (296) not to raise any objections to State aid amounting to some EUR 156 million for the year 2004 (and similar amounts therea er) for the removal and destruction of fallen stock at farm level. e aid intensity is up to 100 %. e aid is in line with the TSE guidelines and the duration of the scheme is unlimited.
Komisija je 30. marca sklenila (296), da ne bo ugovarjala zoper državno pomoč v višini približno 156 milijonov EUR za leto 2004 (in podobne zneske zatem) za odstranitev in uničenje poginulih živali na ravni kmetije. Intenzivnost pomoči
On 14 December, the Commission adopted a mixed positive and negative nal decision with recovery on the French rendering tax (taxe d’équarrissage) (298). From
Komisija je 14. decembra sprejela mešano pozitivno in negativno odločbo z vračilom o francoskem davku na predelavo klavničnih odpadkov in trupel poginulih živali (taxe d’équarrissage) (298).
1997 to 2003, France levied a sales tax on sales of both French meat and meat from other Member States. e tax nanced free removal of slaughterhouse waste and fallen stock. e tax rst went into a special fund reserved for nancing this aid.
Od leta 1997 do leta 2003 je Francija pobirala prometni davek na prodajo francoskega mesa in tudi mesa iz drugih držav članic. Davek je nanciral brezplačno odstranjevanje klavničnih odpadkov in poginulih živalih.
A er the Commission had initiated infringement proceedings, considering the tax on meat from other Member States discriminatory, France moved the tax proceeds into the general budget and nanced the aid from the general budget for the years 2001 and 2002.
Ko je Komisija uvedla postopek za ugotavljanje kršitev, ker je menila, da je davek na meso iz drugih držav članic diskriminacijski, je Francija davčne prihodke preselila v splošni proračun in pomoč nancirala iz splošnega proračuna za leti 2001 in 2002.
However, because of the discriminatory nancing from 1997 until 2000, aid amounting to around EUR 400 million would have had to be found incompatible with Community law.
Vendar pa bi bilo treba zaradi diskriminacijskega nanciranja od leta 1997 do leta 2000 pomoč v višini okoli 400 milijonov EUR razglasiti za nezdružljivo z zakonodajo Skupnosti.
But reimbursement of the aid by farmers would not necessarily repair the discrimination against meat from other Member States caused by the tax levied at supermarket level. erefore, on the condition that France reimburses the tax levied on meat from other Member States, the Commission decided to declare the aid compatible.
Toda povračilo pomoči s strani kmetov ne bi nujno popravilo diskriminacije zoper meso iz drugih držav članic, ki jo je povzročil davek, zaračunan na ravni trgovin. Komisija se je torej odločila, da razglasi pomoč za združljivo, če Francija povrne davek na meso iz drugih držav članic.
As to the years 2001 and 2002, for aid amounting to a further EUR 400 million, the Commission came to the conclusion that the link between the tax and the aid had been disrupted since the tax was allocated to the general budget (299) and the revenue from the tax did not correspond to the cost of the public rendering service. e decision thus altogether covers the years 1997 to 2002.
IV – Nadzor državnih pomoči ker je bil davek razporejen v splošni proračun (299) in prihodki od davka niso ustrezali stroškom javne storitve predelave klavničnih odpadkov in trupel poginulih živali. Odločba torej zajema leta od 1997 do 2002.
For the year 2003, a decision will still have to be taken.
Za leto 2003 bo odločbo še treba sprejeti.
Furthermore, aid granted to small meat sellers via an exemption from the tax in question is found incompatible and will have to be recovered.
Nadalje je bilo za pomoč, odobreno malim prodajalcem mesa z oprostitvijo zadevnega davka, ugotovljeno, da je nezdružljiva, in jo bo treba vrniti.

Commission decided to conclude its formal investigation into the support granted for machinery rings in Bavaria.
) – odločila, da zaključi uradno preiskavo podpore, odobrene za strojne krožke na Bavarskem.
Both decisions clarify Commission policy on State aid granted in connection with machinery rings, which are self-help organisations of farmers whose ‘core activities’
Obe odločbi pojasnjujeta politiko Komisije glede državne pomoči, odobrene v zvezi s strojnimi krožki, ki so organizacije kmetov za samopomoč, katerih „osrednje dejavnosti“ vključujejo upravljanje nadomeščanja na kmetijah in izposojanje strojev med kmeti.
C-49/2002 (ex NN 49/2002).The Commission recognised that by allocating the revenue from the tax to the general budget France had put an end to the discriminatory taxation, and closed the infringement proceedings.C 9/A/2003 — Germany (Bavaria).C 9/B/2003 — Germany (Bavaria).
Pritožbe, ki jih je prejela Komisija, so opozarjale na možno navzkrižno subvencioniranje drugih komercialnih („neosrednjih“) dejavnosti krožkov.
Complaints received by the Commission pointed to possible crosssubsidisation of other commercial (‘non-core’) activities of the rings. e Commission recognises, in principle, the positive role played by machinery rings in the agricultural sector, as they allow farmers to improve their e ciency by sharing costly machinery.
Komisija načeloma priznava pozitivno vlogo strojnih krožkov v kmetijskem sektorju, saj kmetom omogočajo, da z izposojanjem dragih strojev izboljšajo svojo učinkovitost.
In its decision C9/A/2004, the Commission therefore cleared aid (worth EUR 19.6 million over 6 years) benefiting farmers in the form of subsidised services on the basis of point 14 of the agricultural guidelines.
Komisija je zato v svoji odločbi C9/A/2004 odobrila pomoč (vredno 19,6 milijona EUR v šestih letih) za kmete v obliki subvencioniranih storitev na podlagi točke 14 kmetijskih smernic.
However, the Commission also came to the conclusion that the Bavarian system for granting such aid did not e ectively preclude the grant of pure operating aid to the machinery rings themselves, or the crosssubsidisation of other commercial activities carried out by the machinery rings. e Commission therefore concluded that any aid for which no evidence can be produced that it benefited only farmers is incompatible and should be recovered.
Vendar pa je Komisija tudi ugotovila, da bavarski sistem za dodeljevanje take pomoči ni učinkovito izključeval odobritve čiste pomoči za tekoče poslovanje za same strojne krožke ali navzkrižnega subvencioniranja drugih komercialnih dejavnosti, ki jih opravljajo strojni krožki. Komisija je zato sklenila, da je vsaka pomoč, za katero ni mogoče predložiti dokaza, da je koristila samo kmetom, nezdružljiva in jo je treba vrniti.

IV – Nadzor državnih pomoči zadruge so morda prejele manj surovin (in torej utrpele izgube) zaradi drugih razlogov, kot je bolezen modrikastega jezika.
On 19 May, the Commission adopted a negative nal decision declaring State aid amounting to some EUR 10.3 million incompatible with the Treaty (305).
Komisija je 19. maja sprejela negativno dokončno odločbo, ki je državno pomoč v višini približno 10,3 milijona EUR razglasila za nezdružljivo s Pogodbo (305).
Since the aid had not been paid out, no recovery order was necessary. e aid was supposed to compensate poultry producers in Italy for alleged losses due the 1999 dioxin scare in Belgium.
Ker pomoč ni bila izplačana, odredba o vračilu ni bila potrebna. Pomoč naj bi rejcem perutnine v Italiji nadomestila domnevne izgube zaradi preplaha v zvezi z dioksinom leta 1999 v Belgiji.
