In order to ensure further funding, which was needed to nance the requisite reorganisation measures in this segment, Germany and the Land of Schleswig-Holstein granted another 80 % de ciency guarantee for a loan amounting to EUR 112 million in November 2002. e Commission considered that this measure constituted restructuring aid.
Da bi Nemčija in zvezna država Schleswig-Holstein zagotovili dodatna sredstva, nujna za nanciranje potrebnih sanacijskih ukrepov v tem segmentu, sta odobrili dodatno 80-odstotno jamstvo za izpad dohodka za posojilo v vrednosti 112 milijonov EUR novembra 2002. Komisija je menila, da je ta ukrep pomenil pomoč za prestrukturiranje.
In this context, the aid was not only used to restructure the company physically but also to reorient is marketing strategy and to focus on more pro table customer segments in its core business. e aid
V tem okviru se pomoč ni uporabila samo za zično prestrukturiranje družbe, ampak tudi za preusmeritev njene tržne strategije in osredotočenje na donosnejše potrošniške segmente v njeni glavni dejavnosti.

Poročilo o politiki konkurence za leto 2004 – Zvezek 1
On 18 February (230), the Commission approved restructuring aid for the Bankgesellscha Berlin AG group (BGB) worth almost EUR 10 billion (231). is aid package could only be authorised in exchange for significant reductions of the bank’s market presence in order to mitigate the distorting e ect on competition of this large volume of aid.
Komisija je 18. februarja (230) odobrila pomoč za prestrukturiranje skupini Bankgesellscha Berlin AG („BGB“) v vrednosti skoraj 10 milijard EUR (231). Ta sveženj pomoči se je lahko odobril samo v zameno za precejšnje zmanjšanje prisotnosti banke na trgu, da bi se ublažil učinek te obsežnejše pomoči na izkrivljanje konkurence.
Moreover, it is intended to divest the real-estate nancing subsidiary BerlinHyp in the context of the overall divestment of BGB, either separately or together with the rest of BGB.
Poleg tega je načrtovana odprodaja hčerinskega podjetja za nepremičninsko nanciranje BerlinHyp v okviru skupne odprodaje družbe BGB, bodisi ločeno ali skupaj s preostalim delom BGB.
C 28/2002, opening of procedure OJ C 141, 14.6.2002.This includes, rst, EUR 1.8 billion capital injected by the Land of Berlin in 2001, second, the provision of the guarantees to cover BGB’s risks from the old real-estate services business with an economic value of EUR 6.1 billion (the theoretical maximum amount of nominally EUR 21.6 billion is based on legal provisions and supervisory rules but is unrealistic under pessimistic assumptions) and third, a repayment agreement between the Land of Berlin and BGB regarding a potential recovery order up to EUR 1.8 billion following a Commission decision on the then still open proceeding concerning a capital transfer to Landesbank Berlin, part of the BGB group since 1994, forming part of the group C48/2002 (on 20.10.2004, the Commission decided that an aid amount of EUR 810 million had to be recovered from Germany; see paragraphs 454 of this Report).Crédit Lyonnais, OJ L 221, 8.8.1998.
C 28/2002, uvedba postopka UL C 141, 14.6.2002.To vključuje, prvič, 1,8 milijarde EUR dokapitalizacije dežele Berlin leta 2001, drugič, zagotovitev jamstev za zaščito družbe BGB pred tveganji starejših poslov nepremičninskih storitev s tržno vrednostjo 6,1 milijarde EUR (teoretični najvišji znesek nominalnih 21,6 milijarde EUR temelji na zakonskih določbah in nadzornih predpisih, vendar je po pesimističnih predvidevanjih nestvaren) ter, tretjič, sporazum o povračilu med deželo Berlin in družbo BGB v zvezi z morebitno odredbo o vračilu do največ 1,8 milijarde EUR po odločbi Komisije o tedaj še nerešenem postopku v zvezi s kapitalskim transferjem banki Landesbank Berlin, ki je od leta 1994 del skupine BGB ter sestavlja del skupine C48/2002 (Komisija je 20. oktobra 2004 sklenila, da mora Nemčija vrniti pomoč v znesku 810 milijonov EUR; glej odstavek 454 tega poročila). Crédit Lyonnais, UL L 221, 8.8.1998.
IV — State aid control investigation. In view of BGB’s leading position in Berlin, the Commission had to insist on this measure in order to e ectively mitigate the distorting e ect of the very high aid amount on competition in the eld of retail banking in Berlin.
IV – Nadzor državnih pomoči svetovalci, ko je prvi postopek za odprodajo deleža zvezne države v družbi BGB marca 2003 spodletel.
Finally, the Commission concluded that the restructuring measures already carried out and those planned for the future are reasonable, logical and fundamentally appropriate in order to enable BGB to restore its viability.
Na koncu je Komisija ugotovila, da so ukrepi za prestrukturiranje, ki so že bili izvedeni, in tisti, ki so načrtovani za prihodnost, primerni, smiselni in v temelju ustrezni, da se družbi BGB omogoči obnovitev sposobnosti preživetja.
In view of doubts as to the compatibility of the measures notified with the rules on State aid, the Commission initiated, in January 2003, a formal investigation concerning the shareholders’ loan project (233). e formal investigation covered also a business tax scheme (taxe professionnelle) applicable to FT.
Glede na dvome o združljivosti priglašenih ukrepov s pravili o državni pomoči je Komisija januarja 2003 uvedla uradno preiskavo v zvezi s projektom delničarskega posojila (233). Uradna preiskava je zajemala tudi shemo davka na dohodek (taxe professionnelle), ki je veljala za družbo FT.
Between 1994 and 2002, FT enjoyed special conditions concerning local taxes. e Commission considered that, by not levying the full amount of business tax during this period, the State o ered an advantage to FT which amounts to a State aid measure.
Med letoma 1994 in 2002 je družba FT uživala posebne pogoje glede lokalnih davkov. Komisija je ugotovila, da je država z neobračunavanjem polnega zneska davka na dohodek v tem obdobju dala družbi FT prednost, ki pomeni ukrep državne pomoči.
In accordance with the Court of Justice’s caselaw (235), the Commission dismissed the argument raised by the French authorities that such aid could be considered as being ‘compensated’ by other charges to which FT was subject in other respects. According
V skladu s sodno prakso Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti (235) je Komisija zavrgla argument francoskih organov, da je treba tako pomoč pojmovati kot „izravnano“ z drugimi dajatvami, ki so veljale za družbo FT na drugih področjih.
See 2003 Competition Report , points 526 .Decision of 2.8.2004, C/13/B/2004.Case 173/73 Italy v Commission [1974] ECR 709.
Glej Poročilo o konkurenci za leto 2003, točko 526 in naslednje točke.Odločba z dne 2.8.2004, C/13/B/2004.Zadeva 173/73, Italija proti Komisiji, Recueil 1974, str.
Report on competition policy 2004 — Volume 1 to information provided by the French authorities, the estimated savings for FT linked with this specific business tax scheme are between EUR 800 million and EUR 1.1 billion. e exact amount of the aid will be determined by the Commission in cooperation with the French authorities, during the recovery procedure.
Država je javno potrdila svojo podporo podjetju septembra, oktobra in decembra 2002 in družba ni nikoli dosegla ravni visoko tveganih obveznic. Ob tej zadnji priložnosti je bilo v sporočilu za javnost ministrstva za gospodarske zadeve objavljeno, da bo družba FT izdala nove delnice in je pričakovala prispevek države pri izdaji delnic z zagotovitvijo navedenega delničarskega predplačila.
432. e factual context is a key element of the Commission’s assessment: in previous years, FT had accumulated a substantial debt (EUR 63 billion at the end of 2001) and in 2002 the market anticipated that FT would have di culties refinancing this debt.
Delničarski predujem, ki je bil decembra 2002 ponujen družbi FT, vsebuje elemente pomoči.
In July 2002, while the rating of FT was at the threshold of a further downgrade to junk status, the government publicly declared its intention to support the company.
Zagotovitev delničarskega predujma je precej izboljšala nančno stanje operaterja.
Any downgrade of FT to junk status would have had serious consequences for the company. e State publicly confirmed its support for the undertaking in September, October and December 2002 and the rating never reached junk status.
Ta prednost se je zagotovila z uporabo državnih virov, saj je ustvarila možno dopolnilno odgovornost za navedene vire.
On this last occasion, a press release by the Ministry for Economic A airs announced that FT was going to issue new shares and anticipated the State participation in the shares issue by o ering the said shareholder’s advance.
Ponudba države je bila trdna in družba FT bi samo s podpisom pogodbe o delničarskem posojilu zavarovala pravico do plačila 9 milijard EUR.
434. e o er of the shareholder’s advance cannot be seen in isolation but must be viewed against the backdrop of government statements from July to December 2002. e statements created expectations and confidence on the nancial markets and helped maintain FT’s investment rating.
Izjave so ustvarile pričakovanja in zaupanje o nančnih trgih ter pomagale ohraniti investicijsko bonitetno oceno družbe FT.
If the statements had not been made, no reasonable investor would have o ered a shareholder’s advance in these circumstances and assumed alone a very large nancial risk.
Če vlada teh izjav ne bi dala, noben razumen vlagatelj ne bi v teh okoliščinah ponudil delničarskega predujma in sam prevzel zelo velikega nančnega tveganja.
Moreover, the Commission noted that this was the rst time that aid resulted from events predating the notification of the aid itself.
Poleg tega je Komisija ugotovila, da se je zgodilo prvič, da je bila pomoč rezultat dogodkov pred priglasitvijo same pomoči.
Since France notified this measure, an economic operator may have legitimately expected the State to abide by its obligation under the Treaty. erefore, ordering recovery in such a situation may constitute a violation of the principle of legitimate expectation.
Ker je Francija ta ukrep priglasila, je lahko gospodarski subjekt zakonito pričakoval, da bo država spoštovala svojo obveznost po Pogodbi.
Having taken all this into account the Commission did not order the recovery of the aid.
Tako bi lahko z odredbo vračila v takem položaju prišlo do kršitve načela legitimnega pričakovanja.
Decision of 2.8.2004, C/13/A/2004.
Ob upoštevanju vsega tega Komisija ni odredila vračila pomoči.
Bull produces computer servers and is active in the related services markets. e notified aid amounts to EUR 517 million and is equal to the rescue aid granted in 2002 with cumulated interest.
Družba Bull proizvaja računalniške strežnike in je dejavna na trgih s tem povezanih storitev. Priglašena pomoč znaša 517 milijonov EUR in je enaka pomoči za reševanje, odobreni leta 2002, skupaj s kumulativnimi obrestmi.
Depending on actual pro ts, some EUR 50 to 60 million would devolve to the French authorities on the basis of a clause in the aid contract.
Glede na dejanske dobičke bi francoski organi na podlagi določbe v pogodbi o pomoči prejeli od 50 do 60 milijonov EUR.
In its decision of 1 December, the Commission considered that, in the particular circumstances of the case, the aid did not infringe the ‘one time, last time’ principle, and took note that it would be paid only a er reimbursement of the earlier rescue aid.
Komisija je v svoji odločbi z dne 1. decembra ugotovila, da v danih okoliščinah primera pomoč ni kršila načela enkratnosti pomoči, in upoštevala, da bo ta izplačana šele po povračilu prejšnje pomoči za reševanje.
On 8 September, the Commission decided not to raise any objections to rescue aid granted by Germany to the German shipyard Lloyd Wer Bremerhaven GmbH.
Komisija je 8. septembra sklenila, da ne bo ugovarjala zoper pomoč za reševanje, ki jo je Nemčija dodelila nemški ladjedelnici Lloyd Wer Bremerhaven GmbH.
In order to continue operations, the company needed a bridging loan of EUR 10 million. e loan was provided in April in equal parts by one public and two private nancial institutions, whereas the private loans were partially backed by a public guarantee.
Da bi družba nadaljevala svoje poslovanje, je potrebovala premostitveno posojilo v višini 10 milijonov EUR. Posojilo so aprila v enakih delih zagotovile ena javna in dve zasebni nančni ustanovi, medtem ko so bila zasebna posojila delno podprta z javnim jamstvom.
In particular, the Commission took account of an undertaking by the German Government to report on the nancial situation of the company. e aid was paid back within six months.
Komisija je zlasti upoštevala zavezo nemške vlade, da poroča o nančnem položaju podjetja. Pomoč je bila vrnjena v šestih mesecih.

Report on competition policy 2004 — Volume 1 price of EUR 55.9 million above market value when SEPI purchased three shipyards in 1999. e Commission concluded that the above measures constituted further State aid which, a er the approval of a nal restructuring package in 1997, could no longer be approved under the EU shipbuilding aid rules.
Poročilo o politiki konkurence za leto 2004 – Zvezek 1 s preteklimi in nedavnimi vojaškimi dejavnostmi družbe IZAR ter njene predhodnice Bazán.
As the loans of EUR 192.1 million have already been paid back by IZAR, the sum to be recovered from IZAR amounts to EUR 308.3 million, plus interest.
Sredstva za vojaške dejavnosti načeloma niso zajeta v pravilih EU o državni pomoči.
Funds for military activities are in principle not covered by the EU State aid rules. e EUR 556 million aid provided to IZAR’s civil activities was not in line with the EU State aid rules and the Commission therefore concluded that this amount also has to be recovered from IZAR.
Pomoč v višini 556 milijonov EUR za civilne dejavnosti družbe IZAR ni bila v skladu s pravili EU o državni pomoči, zato je Komisija sklenila, da mora družba IZAR vrniti tudi ta znesek.
Dutch matching aid (
Nizozemska pomoč za uskladitev (
In 2003, the Netherlands had notified plans to grant aid in support of six shipbuilding contracts to four Dutch shipyards. e purpose of the aid was to match illegal and incompatible aid allegedly o ered by another Member State to shipyards in that country which competed for the shipbuilding contracts.
Leta 2003 je Nizozemska priglasila načrte za odobritev pomoči v podporo šestim ladjedelniškim pogodbam za štiri nizozemske ladjedelnice. Namen pomoči je bil uskladiti nezakonito in nezdružljivo pomoč, ki jo je domnevno ponudila druga država članica ladjedelnicam v navedeni državi, ki so se potegovale za ladjedelniške pogodbe.
On 30 June the Commission decided that the Netherlands could not grant this aid. e Commission stressed that the principle that a Member State should not act on its own to counter the e ects of unlawful aid from another Member State has been clearly established by the Court of Justice.
Komisija je 30. junija sklenila, da Nizozemska ne bi smela odobriti te pomoči. Komisija je poudarila, da je Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti jasno opredelilo načelo, da država članica ne sme sama ukrepati za odpravljanje posledic nezakonite pomoči iz druge države članice.

BOX 8: RESTRUCTURING AID AND THE CONCEPT OF ‘NEW COMPANY’
OKVIR 8: POMOČ ZA PRESTRUKTURIRANJE IN KONCEPT „NOVEGA PODJETJA“
In two negative decisions of 20 April and 22 September (1
Komisija je v dveh negativnih odločbah z dne 20. aprila in 22. septembra (1

Skupnosti o državni pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah (2
e rationale of this provision is to exclude companies which, although they might encounter start-up problems, are not rms in di culty as described by the guidelines. e decisions make clear that the nding that the companies are newly established has to be characterised on both legal and economic grounds.
Osnovno načelo te določbe je izključiti podjetja, ki, čeprav bi lahko imela težave na začetku poslovanja, niso podjetja v težavah, kot so opisana v smernicah. Odločbi jasno kažeta, da je treba ugotovitev, da so podjetja na novo ustanovljena, utemeljiti na pravni in ekonomski podlagi.
In the cases at hand, both companies were new legal entities, had taken over the assets and employees of previous ship repairers, and had started their operation free of debt and obligations related to previous activities. us, they were to be considered new economic entities, which should have been created only if viable in existing market conditions.
V zadevnih primerih sta bili obe podjetji novi pravni osebi, prevzeli sta sredstva in delavce prejšnjih popravljalnic ladij ter začeli svoje poslovanje brez dolgov in obveznosti, povezanih s predhodnimi dejavnostmi. Zato bi ju bilo treba šteti kot nova gospodarska subjekta, ki bi morala biti ustanovljena samo, če sta sposobna preživeti v obstoječih razmerah na trgu.
e Commission, however, approved part of the aid as regional investment aid and as training aid.
Vendar pa je Komisija odobrila del pomoči kot regionalno pomoč za naložbe in pomoč za usposabljanje. Za preostali del pomoči je Komisija odredila vračilo.
Spanish and German ship-financing schemes
Španski in nemški programi nanciranja v ladjedelništvu
In March and July respectively, the Commission approved the Spanish and German ship-financing schemes (242). ese schemes were considered to be in compliance with the OECD’s arrangement on o cially supported export credits.
Komisija je marca in julija odobrila španske in nemške programe nanciranja v ladjedelništvu (242). Te sheme naj bi bile v skladu z Dogovorom OEDC o izvoznih kreditih z uradno podporo.
In accordance with this arrangement, the interest charged to shipowners is based on the relevant commercial interest reference rate. e systems do not cover the buyer’s credit risk.
V skladu s tem dogovorom obresti, zaračunane lastnikom ladij, temeljijo na ustrezni tržni referenčni obrestni meri. Sistemi ne zajemajo kreditnega tveganja kupca.

In 1997, following the approval of Hellenic Shipyards’ debt write-off under Council Regulation (EC) No 1013/97, which provided
Komisija je leta 1997 po odobritvi odpisa dolga grških ladjedelnic v skladu z Uredbo Sveta (ES) št. 1013/97, ki je predvidevala pomoč za nekatere ladjedelnice
24 4 for aid to certain shipyards under restructuring (
24 4 v fazi prestrukturiranja (
), the Commission had approved investment aid aimed at the restructuring of the shipyard on the basis of an investment plan submitted to the Commission pursuant to the seventh shipbuilding directive (245).
), odobrila pomoč za naložbe za prestrukturiranje ladjedelnice na podlagi investicijskega programa, predloženega Komisiji v skladu s Sedmo direktivo o ladjedelništvu (245).
Subsequent amendments to this investment plan were not notified to the Commission. erefore, the Greek authorities failed to respect the terms of the seventh shipbuilding directive under which the Commission authorised the investment plan in 1997, which provides that the Commission must be notified of any amendment to an existing aid measure covered by the directive (246). ey also failed to observe the conditions of the guidelines on rescuing and restructuring rms in di culty which allow the amendment to a restructuring plan upon notification and subject to certain conditions.
Naknadne spremembe tega investicijskega programa Komisiji niso bile priglašene. Zato grški organi niso izpolnjevali pogojev Sedme direktive o ladjedelništvu, v skladu s katero je Komisija leta 1997 odobrila investicijski program, ki določa, da je treba Komisiji priglasiti vsako spremembo obstoječega ukrepa pomoči,
In opening the formal investigation procedure, the Commission also expressed serious doubts that the conditions under which the aid was approved in its 1997 decision had been met and that no new aid had been granted for the investment plan.
Z uvedbo formalnega preiskovalnega postopka je Komisija prav tako izrazila resne dvome, da so bili pogoji, po katerih je bila pomoč v njeni odločbi iz leta 1997 odobrena, izpolnjeni, in da za investicijski program ni bila odobrena nobena nova pomoč.
Such aid would not be compatible with the common market in view of the ‘one time, last time’ principle and the express requirement of Council Regulation (EC) No 1013/97 which prohibits aid for all shipyards which benefited from its provisions.
Taka pomoč ne bi bila združljiva s skupnim trgom glede na načelo enkratnosti pomoči in izrecno zahtevo Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 1013/97, ki prepoveduje pomoč za vse ladjedelnice, ki so izkoristile njene določbe.

IV – Nadzor državnih pomoči
On 1 September 2004 Postabank was merged with Erste Bank’s Hungarian subsidiary.
Postabank se je 1. septembra 2004 združila z madžarsko podružnico Erste Bank.
At this stage, the Commission believes that the scope and amount of nancial support provided to Postabank in the future cannot be determined. e Commission is assessing the ‘indemnity for unknown claims’ under the EU’s guidelines for rescue and restructuring aid (251).
Na tej stopnji Komisija meni, da ni mogoče določiti obsega in zneska nančne podpore za Postabank v prihodnosti. Komisija ocenjuje, „odškodnino za neznane terjatve“ v skladu s smernicami EU o pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje (251).
On 20 October, the Commission concluded its long-standing investigations into the transfer of public assets in the early 1990s to seven German banks by ordering Germany to recover about EUR 3 billion plus interest.
Komisija je 20. oktobra zaključila svojo dolgoletno preiskavo glede prenosa javnih sredstev v začetku devetdesetih na sedem nemških deželnih bank in Nemčiji odredila, naj vrne okoli 3 milijarde EUR skupaj s pripadajočimi obrestmi.
At the beginning of the 1990s, the German state governments (Länder), which partly or fully own the banks, transferred public housing and other assets to increase the capital base of the banks. e main reason for these transfers was the introduction of the own funds and solvency directives requiring German public banks to take up large amounts of new capital in order to maintain their level of activities.
Na začetku devetdesetih so nemške deželne vlade (Länder), ki so delno ali v celoti lastnice bank, prenesle javne zgradbe in druga sredstva, da bi povečale kapitalsko osnovo bank. Glavni razlog za te prenose je bila uvedba direktiv o lastnih sredstvih in plačilni sposobnosti, ki so od nemških javnih bank zahtevale, da prevzamejo večje zneske novega kapitala, da bi ohranile svojo raven dejavnosti.
