If a competing operator decides to invest in new infrastructure, it will have, initially, to bear the costs inherent in such a construction programme, before the infrastructure becomes operational.
Če se konkurenčni obratovalec odloči vlagati v novo infrastrukturo, mora najprej nositi stro�ke take gradnje, preden infrastruktura postane operativna.
In the meantime, in order to benefit from the local loop unbundling provided for in the regulation, it will have to pay a sum broadly equivalent to the cost of investing in new infrastructure.
Da bi bil medtem upravičen do razvezanega dostopa do krajevne zanke, določenega z Uredbo, mora plačati znesek, ki v veliki meri ustreza stro�kom vlaganj v novo infrastrukturo.
The competing operator will, therefore, have to bear the cost of building its own network and, at the same time, pay the notified operator so that it can invest in its own new infrastructure.
Konkurenčni obratovalec mora torej nositi stro�ke izgradnje svojega omrežja in hkrati plačevati prigla�enemu obratovalcu, da bo ta lahko vlagal v novo infrastrukturo.
Republic of Germany disputes that conclusion: they maintain that approving rates based on a value below the current replacement cost, for example by deducting depreciation already made, would mean disregarding the regulation’s aim of providing incentives to invest in infrastructure.
republike Nemčije, da bi odobritev cen na podlagi vrednosti, nižje od trenutnih nadomestitvenih stro�kov, zlasti z zmanj�anjem že opravljenih odpisov, pomenila, da se ne upo�teva cilja Uredbe po spodbujanju vlaganj v infrastrukture.
In order to analyse this argument, it must be assumed that there is a distinction between incentives to invest in the construction of new local metallic wire networks parallel to the Deutsche Telekom network, and incentives to invest in alternative infrastructure, such as cable TV or other systems.
Analiza te trditve predpostavlja razlikovanje med spodbujanjem k vlaganjem v izgradnje novih omrežij krajevnega žičnega dostopa, vzporednih z omrežjem družbe Deutsche Telekom, in spodbujanjem k vlaganjem v alternativne infrastrukture, kot je kabelska televizija ali drugo.
Regarding the first type of investment, the adoption of a method of calculating capital costs based on the gross cost of replacing the notified operator’s local network would, of course, be likely to create such an incentive.
Glede prve vrste vlaganj bi sprejetje metode izračuna finančnih stro�kov, ki temelji na bruto nadomestitvenih stro�kih krajevnega omrežja prigla�enega obratovalca, seveda lahko ustvarilo take spodbude.
However, it would seem to be neither cost-effective nor efficient, not to say an aberration in terms of saving resources and the aim of ensuring lower prices for customers, to duplicate an existing local loop where that loop is still usable.
Vendar se podvajanje obstoječe krajevne zanke, če je �e uporabna, ne zdi donosno in učinkovito, da ne rečem, da ni smiselno z vidika varčevanja s sredstvi in cilja zagotavljati nižje cene za uporabnike.
Regarding incentives to invest in alternative infrastructure, I should point out that setting charges for access to the existing local loop on the basis of the current cost of replacement with a new and equivalent local network does not necessarily reflect the costs inherent in the construction of this alternative infrastructure.
Glede spodbujanja k vlaganju v alternativne infrastrukture je treba opozoriti, da določitev cen dostopa do obstoječe krajevne zanke glede na trenutne stro�ke nadomestitve z novim enakovrednim krajevnim omrežjem ne izraža nujno stro�kov izgradnje teh alternativnih infrastruktur.
Indeed, in addition to the fact that the technology in question has actually to be available, a decision to build a cable TV network, a local ‘wireless radio’ loop or any other type of system, would necessarily involve taking account, first, of an investment cost different from that which would be required to build a new local copper wire network and, secondly, of the fact that the functionality and economic potential inherent in the alternative infrastructure are different from the functionality offered by the local copper wire network 37.
Odločitev za izgradnjo omrežja kabelske televizije, krajevne zanke „wireless radio“ ali drugega namreč nujno zahteva, da se – poleg dejstva, da mora biti zadevna tehnologija dejansko razpoložljiva – upo�tevata vrednost vlaganj, ki se razlikuje od vrednosti, ki bi bila potrebna za izgradnjo novega bakrenega krajevnega omrežja, in dejstvo, da se funkcionalnosti in gospodarski potencial alternativnih infrastruktur razlikujejo od funkcionalnosti, ki jih ponuja bakreno krajevno omrežje.
Setting the charges below those that would result from using a method based exclusively on the

36 — The regulation itself confirms this when it states in recital (6) of the preamble that ‘[i]t would not be economically viable for new entrants to duplicate the incumbent’s metallic local access infrastructure in its entirety within a reasonable time.’ In addition, Article 4(3) expressly highlights the central nature of the aim of ensuring ‘economic efficiency and maximum benefit for users.’
37 – Šesta uvodna izjava predvsem trdi, da „alternativne infrastrukture, kot so kabelska televizija, satelitske povezave, brezžične krajevne zanke, zdaj na splo�no ne ponujajo enake funkcionalnosti ali vsesplo�ne raz�irjenosti, čeprav se lahko razmere med posameznimi državami razlikujejo“.
37 — Recital (6) of the Regulation in fact states that ‘[a]lternative infrastructures such as cable television, satellite, wireless local loops do not generally offer the same functionality or ubiquity for the time being, though situations in Member States may differ.’
36 – To je ugotovljeno tudi v Uredbi, ko se v �esti uvodni izjavi navaja, da „ne bi bilo gospodarno izvedljivo v razumnem roku v celoti podvojiti infrastrukturo krajevnega žičnega dostopa prvotnega obratovalca“. Poleg tega je v členu 4(3) izrecno opozorjeno na osrednjo naravo cilja zagotavljanja „gospodarsk[e] učinkovitost[i] in maksimaln[e] korist[i] za uporabnike“.
ARCOR current cost of replacing the local loop might not, therefore, act as a complete deterrent to investment in alternative infrastructure.
ARCOR trenutnih nadomestitvenih stro�kih krajevne zanke, lahko torej ne bi odločilno odvračalo od vlaganj v te alternativne infrastrukture.
had been set below the figure obtained using a calculation method based on the gross cost of replacing the network.
Telekom, očitno ne spodbuja, če so bile določene nižje cene od cen, ki izhajajo iz uporabe metode izračuna, ki temelji na bruto nadomestitvenih stro�kih omrežja.
In neither of these two justifications applies, the conclusion must be that it would be contrary to the concept of costorientation to use as the exclusive basis for calculating costs the current replacement value of the assets, expressed in terms of current daily prices at the time of valuation.
Če ni mogoče uporabiti ene od teh utemeljitev, je treba sklepati, da je v nasprotju s pojmom stro�kovne naravnanosti, če se kot osnova za izračun stro�kov upo�teva izključno trenutna nadomestna vrednost sredstev, izražena v dnevnih cenah v trenutku vrednotenja.
It will therefore be for the national court to ascertain whether the rates approval decision at issue in the present case contains elements justifying the adoption of the calculation method based on gross replacement costs and, thus, whether the decision in question shows that the two principles already discussed have both been taken into account in a balanced and proportionate fashion.
Nacionalno sodi�če mora tako preveriti, ali odločba o odobritvi cen, ki se obravnava v tem primeru, vsebuje dokaze o sprejetju metode izračuna, ki temelji na bruto nadomestitvenih stro�kih, in tako ali zadevna odločba izkazuje, da sta se obe navedeni načeli upo�tevali uravnoteženo in sorazmerno.
In the absence of such justification, calculating the depreciation and interest which the charges have to cover using a gross replacement cost method is incompatible with the regulation.
Če teh dokazov ni, izračun odpisov in obresti, ki jih morajo pokriti cene, na podlagi metode bruto nadomestitvenih stro�kov ni združljiv z Uredbo.
Should the referring court conclude, in the light of the considerations set out above, that the adoption by the regulatory authority of a calculation method based on gross replacement costs is incompatible with costorientation, the question then arises whether this concept of costorientation requires depreciation already made to be deducted.
Če predložitveno sodi�če glede na zgornje ugotovitve sklepa, da dejstvo, da je regulativni organ sprejel metodo izračuna, ki temelji na bruto nadomestitvenih stro�kih, ni združljivo s stro�kovno naravnanostjo, se postavlja vpra�anje, ali ta pojem stro�kovne naravnanosti zahteva, da se od�tejejo že opravljeni odpisi.
To sum up, there are two possible justifications which could be put forward Firstly, as I mentioned above, 38 it is possible that the advanced age of the network could justify using a method based on gross replacement costs.
Skratka, navesti je mogoče dve mogoči utemeljitvi. Prvič, kot sem opozoril zgoraj 38, mogoče je, da starost omrežja upraviči uporabo metode, ki temelji na bruto nadomestitvenih stro�kih.
Secondly, as I emphasised in point (63) above, it is possible that in the specific circumstances of Germany at the time of the rates approval decision, investment in alternative technologies available at the time, with functionality equivalent to Deutsche Telekom’s local copper wire network, would have been significantly discouraged if the charges
Drugič, mogoče je, da se, kot sem poudaril v prej�nji točki, v razmerah, ki so v Nemčiji obstajale v trenutku odobritve cen, vlaganje v alternativne tehnologije, ki so obstajale takrat in imele funkcionalnosti, enakovredne funkcionalnostim bakrene krajevne infrastrukture družbe Deutsche
If the referring court concludes that this is the case, this means that the approved rates should have been set at a figure below that obtained by applying the calculation method based on the gross replacement cost of the assets.
Če predložitveno sodi�če sklepa tako, pomeni, da bi morale biti odobrene cene določene na nižji ravni od vrednosti, ki izhaja iz uporabe metode izračuna, ki temelji na bruto nadomestitvenih stro�kih sredstev.
However, the way in which the concept of costorientation has been interpreted does not provide any indication of the specific cost elements which should be
Razlaga pojma stro�kovne naravnanosti vseeno ne ponuja nobenih podatkov o posebnih elementih stro�kov, ki jih je treba od�teti, tako da se opravi prehod od metode
38 — See point 52 above.
38 – Glej zgoraj navedeno točko 52.
Deutsche Telekom is opposed to the rates being set at a lower figure.
Družba Deutsche Telekom nasprotuje določitvi nižjih cen.
On this point, it maintains that, because the existing network is already largely depreciated, deducting the previous depreciation would involve a risk that competing operators would be given free or virtually free access to its local loop, which would unlawfully prevent it from deriving full advantage from its ownership of that network.
V zvezi s tem trdi, da bi od�tetje prej�njih odpisov, ker je obstoječe omrežje že zelo amortizirano, lahko konkurenčnim obratovalcem zagotovilo brezplačen ali skoraj brezplačen dostop do njene krajevne zanke, kar bi ji nezakonito onemogočilo, da bi imela polne koristi od svoje lastnine.
I do not share this view.
S tem stali�čem se ne strinjam.
deducted in order to determine how precisely to change from a calculation method based on the gross cost of replacing the assets to a method based on the net replacement cost.
izračuna, ki temelji na bruto nadomestitvenih stro�kih sredstev, na metodo, ki temelji na neto nadomestitvenih stro�kih.
Deducting the depreciation already made would undoubtedly provide a legitimate calculation method based on the net replacement.
Od�tetje že opravljenih odpisov bi seveda pripeljalo do uporabe zakonite metode izračuna, ki temelji na neto nadomestitvenih stro�kih.
However, I would not rule out the possibility that other definitions of net replacement cost could also be acceptable.
Vendar pa ne bi izključil, da so lahko prav tako sprejemljivi drugi pojmi neto nadomestitvenih stro�kih.
I am thinking, for example, of the concept of net replacement cost which is defined as the sum which has to be paid in order to replace the asset with another asset of similar age and characteristics.
Na primer, mislim na pojem neto nadomestitveni stro�ki, ki se razume kot cena, ki jo je treba plačati, da se sredstva nadomesti z drugimi sredstvi podobne starosti in podobnih značilnosti.
The value of the notified operator’s asset in terms of current costs, which would be used as a basis for calculating the interest and depreciation, could then be established on the basis of such net replacement costs or on the current intrinsic value of the network, depending on which of these is the lower figure. 39
Vrednost v trenutnih stro�kih sredstev prigla�enega obratovalca, ki bi bila osnova za izračun obresti in odpisov, bi se lahko določila na podlagi takih neto nadomestitvenih stro�kov ali trenutne notranje vrednosti omrežja, glede na to, kar je nižje. 39
There is no doubt that the regulation accords the notified operator the right to a reasonable return for making the local loop available to competing operators.
Uredba nedvomno priznava prigla�enemu obratovalcu pravico do primernega donosa od zagotavljanja krajevne zanke konkurenčnim obratovalcem.
40Even if Deutsche Telekom’s local network were, possibly, to be fully depreciated, the regulation would preclude the rates being set at zero or at a level very close to free access.
40Čeprav je mogoče krajevno omrežje družbe Deutsche Telekom v celoti amortizirano, Uredba nasprotuje temu, da se cene določijo na nič ali na raven, ki je blizu brezplačnemu dostopu.
To sum up, it is my view that where rates calculated on the basis of the current replacement cost prove not to be balanced in the circumstances prevailing at the time of the approval decision, the rates should be set at a lower figure, either by deducting the depreciation already made or by another means which it is possible to define at national level, and which enables the rates for access to the local loop to be set at a figure below the figure that results exclusively from the use of the current replacement cost method.
Skratka, menim, da je treba, kadar se cene, izračunane na podlagi trenutnih nadomestitvenih stro�kov, izkažejo za neuravnove�ene v razmerah, ki obstajajo v trenutku odobritve cen, določiti nižje cene ali z od�tetjem že opravljenih odpisov ali na drug mogoči način, ki se določi na nacionalni ravni in omogoča določitev nižjih cen dostopa do krajevne zanke od cen, ki izhajajo izključno iz metode, ki temelji na trenutnih nadomestitvenih stro�kih.
However, contrary to what Deutsche Telekom is in substance arguing, the regulation does not imply that only approved rates obtained by applying a calculation method based on the current gross cost of replacing the network are capable of providing a reasonable return for the notified operator.
Vendar v nasprotju s tem, kar v bistvu trdi družba Deutsche Telekom, Uredbe ne gre razumeti, kot da lahko samo cene, odobrene na podlagi uporabe metode izračuna, ki temelji na trenutnih bruto nadomestitvenih stro�kih omrežja, zagotavljajo primeren donos prigla�enemu obratovalcu.
There are several lower rates which, in the specific circumstances of the Federal Republic of Germany at the time of the rates approval decision, could have been capable of fostering competition at local loop level without decisively deterring investment in
Obstaja več nižjih cen, ki bi lahko v okoli�činah, ki so v Zvezni republiki Nemčiji obstajale v trenutku odobritve cen, spodbujale konkurenco na ravni krajevne zanke, ne da bi odločilno odvračale od vlaganj v alternativne
39 — See, for example, the method for calculating the value of assets in terms of current costs provided for in paragraph 1 of the annex to Recommendation 98/322.
39 – Glej predvsem metodo izračuna vrednosti sredstev v trenutnih stro�kih, določeno v točki 1 Dodatka k Priporočilu 98/322.
40 — See, specifically, recital (11) of the regulation.
40 – Izrecno glej uvodno izjavo 11 Uredbe.
In the absence of such justification, the Community concept of costorientation of charges requires that charges for access should be set at a figure below that obtained by applying such a method of calculating capital costs, in particular by deducting depreciation already made before the valuation date.
Če taki dokazi ne obstajajo, Skupnostni pojem stro�kovne naravnanosti cen nalaga, da se določijo cene dostopa, ki so nižje od cen, ki izhajajo iz uporabe take metode izračuna finančnih stro�kov, zlasti z od�tetjem odpisov, ki so že opravljeni v trenutku vrednotenja.
E — The fourth question alternative infrastructure and would, at the same time, be likely to provide a reasonable return for the notified operator, in accordance with the regulation.
infrastrukture, in bi lahko hkrati prigla�enemu obratovalcu zagotavljale primeren donos v skladu z Uredbo.
Deutsche Telekom’s right to receive a reasonable return is simply a lower limit which the regulatory authority is required to respect when adopting an approval decision.
Pravica družbe Deutsche Telekom, da prejema primeren donos, je samo spodnja meja, ki jo morajo regulativni organi upo�tevati pri odločitvi o odobritvi cen.
It does not allow rates set on the basis of the gross replacement cost of the assets to be regarded as the only rates likely to ensure a reasonable return for the notified operator.
Ne dopu�ča, da se cene, določene glede na bruto nadomestitvene stro�ke sredstev, �tejejo za edine cene, ki lahko zagotavljajo primeren donos prigla�enemu obratovalcu.
In other words, the rate that provides the greatest incentive to invest in infrastructure is not the only rate which will give the notified operator a reasonable return.
Z drugimi besedami, cena, ki najbolj spodbuja k vlaganju v infrastrukture, ni edina cena, ki prigla�enemu obratovalcu zagotavlja primeren donos.
There are other rates, set at a lower level, which are also capable of ensuring such a return.
Obstajajo druge nižje cene, ki lahko zagotavljajo tak donos.
The Verwaltungsgericht Köln is, basically, seeking to ascertain whether Community law requires the national regulatory authorities to work on the basis of complete cost statements produced by the notified operator or whether it is permissible to use analytical cost models and, if so, what requirements they have to satisfy.
Verwaltungsgericht Köln želi v bistvu vedeti, ali pravo Skupnosti nalaga, da morajo nacionalni regulativni organi delati na podlagi popolnih dokazil o stro�kih prigla�enega obratovalca, ali pa se dopu�ča uporaba analitičnih modelov stro�kov, in če se dopu�ča, katere zahteve je treba upo�tevati.
In the light of the considerations set out above, I propose that the Court reply to the third question as follows: the concept of costorientation provided for in Article 3(3) of the regulation should be understood as meaning that it requires a rates approval decision, such as the decision at issue in the present case, to be based on a balanced and proportionate compromise — depending on the circumstances prevailing at the time the decision is adopted — between the regulation’s central aim of fostering competition on the local loop access market and the need to ensure the necessary level of investment in infrastructure.
Z vidika zgornjih ugotovitev Sodi�ču predlagam, naj na tretje vpra�anje odgovori: pojem stro�kovne naravnanosti iz člena 3(3) Uredbe je treba razlagati tako, da nalaga, da odločba o odobritvi cen, kot se obravnava v tem primeru, zagotavlja uravnove�eno in sorazmerno ravnovesje – glede na okoli�čine v trenutku odobritve cen – med glavnim ciljem Uredbe, da se spodbuja konkurenca na trgu dostopa do krajevne zanke, in nujnostjo zagotavljanja potrebne ravni vlaganj v infrastrukture.
In the light of those considerations, it will be for the national court to ascertain whether the rates approval decision at issue contains adequate justification for adopting the method of calculating the depreciation and the interest which the rates have to cover based exclusively on the
Nacionalno sodi�če mora z vidika teh ugotovitev preveriti, ali sporna odločba o odobritvi cen vsebuje ustrezne dokaze o sprejetju metode izračuna odpisov in obresti, ki jih morajo cene pokriti, ki temelji izključno na trenutni nadomestni vrednosti sredstev,
As the referring court pointed out, the German regulatory authority considered that the cost statements submitted by Deutsche Telekom were incomplete and did not provide sufficient evidence.
Kot opozarja predložitveno sodi�če, je nem�ki regulativni organ menil, da dokazila o stro�kih, ki jih je predložila družba Deutsche Telekom, niso popolna in nimajo potrebne dokazne vrednosti.
In the absence of adequate statements, the regulatory authority therefore used a ‘bottom-up’ analytical model to calculate the notified
Ker ustrezna dokazila niso bila predložena, je regulativni organ torej uporabil analitično metodo od spodaj navzgor ali „bottom-up“ za izračun
Recommendation 98/322 42shows precisely how using a bottomup economic model can provide information on the inefficiencies which would result from the use of a model which includes assets in excess of requirements.
Prav priporočilo 98/322 42kaže, kako lahko uporaba ekonomskega modela od spodaj navzgor prinese informacije o neučinkovitosti, ki bi bila posledica uporabe modela, ki bi vključeval sredstva, ki presegajo potrebe.
This use of a bottomup theoretical cost model accurately reflects the coordinated or hybrid use of a bottomup analytical model together with a top-down model based on figures for the notified operator’s costs.
Taka uporaba teoretičnega modela stro�kov od spodaj navzgor kaže predvsem usklajeno ali hibridno uporabo analitičnega modela od spodaj navzgor z modelom od zgoraj navzdol, ki temelji na podatkih o stro�kih prigla�enega obratovalca.
43 operator’s relevant costs and, in particular, the imputed interest and costaccounting depreciation.
43 ustreznih stro�kov prigla�enega obratovalca ter zlasti računovodskih odpisov in obresti.
In substance, this is a theoretical economic model which can be used to determine the level of investment currently required to build a modern, efficient local copper-wire network equivalent to the existing network.
V bistvu gre za teoretični ekonomski model, ki omogoča določitev vrednosti trenutno potrebnih vlaganj za izgradnjo sodobnega učinkovitega bakrenega krajevnega omrežja, enakovrednega obstoječemu.
This model is, therefore, based on the costs which an efficient operator would have incurred in order to acquire the network and put it into operation.
Ta model se torej opira na stro�ke, ki bi jih učinkovit obratovalec imel, da bi zgradil omrežje in ga spravil v delovanje.
41A model of this kind differs from a ‘top down’ model, which is based on the notified operator’s actual costs.
41 Tak model se razlikuje od modela „od zgoraj navzdol“, ki temelji na dejanskih stro�kih prigla�enega obratovalca.
Although these costs can be verified from the point of view of efficiency using inter alia a forwardlooking approach, such as long run incremental costs, it is, in any event, the notified operator’s costs which basically remain the decisive factor.
Čeprav se ti stro�ki preverijo z vidika njihove učinkovitosti, zlasti z uporabo v prihodnost usmerjenega pristopa, kot so dolgoročni dodatni stro�ki, ostajajo v bistvu odločilni stro�ki prigla�enega obratovalca.
It is my view that neither the text of the regulation, nor the reasons for its introduction, nor the Court’s caselaw concerning the concept of costorientation preclude the regulatory authorities from using theoretical cost models — bottomup models, for example.
Menim, da niti besedilo Uredbe, niti njegov namen, niti sodna praksa Sodi�ča o pojmu stro�kovne naravnanosti ne morejo preprečiti, da regulativni organi ne bi uporabljali teoretičnih modelov stro�kov, zlasti modela od spodaj navzgor.
