COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1946/2005

of 14 November 2005

amending Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 introducing exceptional trade measures for countries and territories participating in or linked to the European Union’s Stabilisation and Association process

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 (1) expires on 31 December 2005.

(2)

Since Stabilisation and Association Agreements have not yet been concluded with all the Western Balkan countries, it is appropriate to prolong the period of validity of Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000.

(3)

Continued market opening is expected to contribute to the process of political and economic stabilisation in the region while not creating negative effects for the Community. Accordingly, these preferences should apply for a further period, from 1 January 2006 to 31 December 2010.

(4)

A Constitutional Charter was adopted in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on 4 February 2003, changing the name of that country to Serbia and Montenegro and establishing the division of competences between the State Union and the two constituent Republics.

(5)

The trade measures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 should also take into account that the Republic of Montenegro, the Republic of Serbia and Kosovo, as defined in the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999), each constitute separate customs territories.

(6)

The Community has concluded an agreement on trade in textile products with the Republic of Serbia (2),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 2007/2000 is hereby amended as follows:

1.

in Article 1(1) and (2), ‘and Serbia and Montenegro, including Kosovo’ shall be replaced by ‘and in the customs territories of Montenegro, Serbia or Kosovo’;

2.

in Article 3(1) and (2), ‘the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia’ shall be replaced by ‘the customs territories of Montenegro or Kosovo’;

3.

Article 4 shall be amended as follows:

(a)

in paragraph 2, point (d), ‘in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia including Kosovo’ shall be replaced by ‘in the customs territories of Montenegro, Serbia or Kosovo’;

(b)

in paragraph 4, introductory phrase and point (c), ‘Serbia and Montenegro, including Kosovo’ shall be replaced by ‘the customs territories of Montenegro, Serbia or Kosovo’;

4.

in Article 17, ‘31 December 2005’ shall be replaced by ‘31 December 2010’;

5.

in Annex I, in the column ‘Beneficiaries’, all references to the ‘Federal Republic of Yugoslavia including Kosovo’ shall be replaced by ‘customs territories of Montenegro, Serbia or Kosovo’.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the first day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

It shall apply from 1 January 2006.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1947/2005

of 23 November 2005

on the common organisation of the market in seeds and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 2358/71 and (EEC) No 1674/72

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 36 and the third subparagraph of Article 37(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (2),

Whereas:

(1)

The operation and development of the common market in agricultural products should be accompanied by the establishment of a common agricultural policy to include, in particular, a common organisation of the agricultural markets which may take various forms depending on the product concerned.

(2)

Council Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 of 26 October 1971 on the common organisation of the market in seeds (3) has been substantially amended several times, particularly by Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 of 29 September 2003 establishing common rules for direct support schemes under the common agricultural policy and establishing certain support schemes for farmers (4). In the interests of clarity, Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 should be repealed and replaced by a new Regulation.

(3)

The provisions of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1674/72 of 2 August 1972 laying down general rules for granting and financing aid for seed (5) were incorporated into the implementing rules in Chapter 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1973/2004 of 29 October 2004 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 as regards the support schemes provided for in Titles IV and IVa of that Regulation and the use of land set aside for the production of raw materials (6). Regulation (EEC) No 1674/72 should therefore be repealed.

(4)

In order to monitor the volume of trade in seeds with third countries, provision should be made for an import licence scheme with the lodging of a security to ensure that the transactions for which such licences are requested are effected.

(5)

The system of customs duties makes it possible to dispense with all other protective measures in the case of goods imported from third countries.

(6)

The internal market and customs duty mechanism could, in exceptional circumstances, prove inadequate. In such cases, in order not to leave the Community market without defence against disturbances that might ensue, the Community should be able to take all necessary measures without delay. Those measures should comply with the Community’s international obligations.

(7)

The proper working of the internal market in seeds would be jeopardised by the granting of national aid. The provisions of the Treaty governing State aid should, therefore, apply to the products covered by this common market organisation. However, since accession, Finland may, subject to authorisation by the Commission, grant aid respectively for certain quantities of seeds and for certain quantities of cereal seed produced solely in Finland, because of its specific climatic conditions.

(8)

Since the common market in seeds is constantly evolving, the Member States and the Commission should keep each other supplied with information relevant to developments in this area.

(9)

The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (7),

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1949/2005

of 28 November 2005

amending Regulation (EC) No 1917/2000 with regard to specific movements and the exclusion of trade relating to repair transactions

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 of 22 May 1995 on the statistics relating to the trading of goods by the Community and its Member States with non-member countries (1), and in particular Articles 4(1), 6(2), 9(1), 10(4) and 15 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1917/2000 of 7 September 2000 laying down certain provisions for the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 1172/95 as regards statistics on external trade (2), specifies the data elements to be collected for statistics on external trade and enumerates the goods and movements which should be exempted or which need particular provisions for methodological reasons.

(2)

Whenever appropriate, common definitions and concepts should be applied in respect of data relating, respectively, to the trading of goods between Member States and to the trading of goods with non-member countries. Since Regulation (EC) No 638/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on Community statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States and repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 3330/91 (3) revised the framework for the production of Community statistics on the trading of goods between Member States, it has become necessary to adapt accordingly the implementing rules on statistics on the trading of goods by the Community and its Member States with non-member countries.

(3)

According to international recommendations and the provisions in force concerning Community statistics relating to the trading of goods between Member States, goods undergoing repair are to be excluded from statistics relating to the trading of goods. Consequently, it is also necessary to exclude goods undergoing repair from Community statistics on the trading of goods with non-member countries.

(4)

In order to ensure the comparability of information on specific goods traded within the Community and those traded with non-member countries, adjustments have to be made to provisions for industrial plants, vessels and aircraft, ships and aircraft stores and supplies, staggered consignments, offshore installations, spacecraft, electricity, gas and sea products.

(5)

Additional specifications should be provided on goods which are subject of temporary use in order to harmonise the way these goods are excluded from Community statistics on the trading of goods with non-member countries.

(6)

The coding system serving to describe the nature of the transaction should be aligned on the provisions applicable within the framework of statistics on the trading of goods between Member States.

(7)

Regulation (EC) No 1917/2000 should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the statistics relating to the trading of goods with third countries,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Regulation (EC) No 1917/2000 is amended as follows:

1.

Article 2 is replaced by the following:

‘Article 2

Pursuant to Article 6(2) of the Basic Regulation, external trade statistics transmitted to the Commission shall not cover goods:

released for free circulation after being subject to inward processing or processing under customs control,

contained in the list of exemptions set out in Annex 1.’

2.

In Article 15(2) the following point (m) is added:

‘(m)

Electricity and gas.’

3.

In Article 16, paragraphs 2 and 3 are replaced by the following:

‘2.   Member States may apply a simplified declaration procedure for recording exports of complete industrial plant.

3.   The simplified procedure may be applied only to the export of complete industrial plants the total statistical value of each of which exceeds EUR 3 million, unless they are complete industrial plants for re-use; in this case, Member States shall inform the Commission of the criteria used.

The statistical value of an industrial plant shall be calculated by adding the statistical values of its component parts and the statistical values of the goods referred to in the second subparagraph of paragraph 1.’

4.

Article 17 is replaced by the following:

‘Article 17

1.   For the purposes of this Chapter, component parts falling within a given chapter of the Combined Nomenclature shall be classified under the relevant complete industrial plant subheading of Chapter 98 of that Nomenclature.

2.   Where Member States do not allow a simplified declaration procedure for recording component parts of complete industrial plant under the subheadings provided for in Chapter 98, the goods shall be classified under the relevant subheadings, as provided in the other chapters of the Combined Nomenclature.’

5.

Article 18 is replaced by the following:

‘Article 18

In accordance with the Combined Nomenclature, the code numbers for complete industrial plant subheadings shall be composed in conformity with the following rules:

(a)

the code shall comprise eight digits;

(b)

the first four digits shall be 9880;

(c)

the fifth and the sixth digits shall correspond to the chapter of the Combined Nomenclature to which the goods of the component part belong;

(d)

the seventh and the eighth digits shall be 0.’

6.

Article 19(3) is deleted.

7.

Article 20 is amended as follows:

(b)

point (d) is deleted.

8.

(1)  This item covers most exports and imports, i.e. transactions in respect of which:

ownership is transferred from resident to non-resident, and

payment or compensation in kind is or will be made.

Note that this also applies to movements between entities belonging to the same enterprise or to the same group of enterprises and to movements to/from central distribution depots, unless no payment or other compensation is made (otherwise they are covered by code 3).

(2)  Including spare parts and other replacements made against payment.

(5)  Processing covers operations (transformation, construction, assembling, enhancement, renovation, …) with the objective of producing a new or really improved item. This does not necessarily involve a change in the product classification. Processing activities on a processor’s own account are not covered by this item and should be registered under item 1 of column A.

Goods for or following processing have to be recorded as imports and exports.

However, a repair should not be recorded under this position. A repair entails the restoration of goods to their original function or condition. The objective of the operation is simply to maintain the goods in working order; this may involve some rebuilding or enhancements but does not change the nature of the goods in any way.

Goods for and after repair are excluded from external statistics see Annex I (l).

(6)  Transactions recorded under this position could be e.g. transactions not involving transfer of ownership, e.g. repair, hire, loan, operational leasing and other temporary uses, except processing under contract (delivery or return). Transactions recorded with this code shall not be transmitted to the Commission.

(7)  The transactions recorded under item 8 of column A involve goods which are not separately invoiced, but for which a single invoice is made covering the total value of the works. Where this is not the case, the transactions should be recorded under item 1.

(8)  Code numbers for national purposes may be collected in column B provided that only the code numbers of column A are transmitted to the Commission.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 2005/81/EC

of 28 November 2005

amending Directive 80/723/EEC on the transparency of financial relations between Member States and public undertakings as well as on financial transparency within certain undertakings

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 86(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Commission Directive 80/723/EEC (1) requires Member States to ensure the transparency of financial relations between public authorities and public undertakings as well as within certain undertakings. Undertakings required to maintain separate accounts are undertakings that enjoy special or exclusive rights granted by a Member State as referred to in Article 86(1) of the Treaty or are entrusted with the operation of a service of general economic interest as referred to in Article 86(2) of the Treaty and receive State aid in any form whatsoever in relation to such service and that carry on other activities.

(2)

Member States may grant firms entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest compensation to cover the specific costs of such services. Such compensation may not, however, exceed what is necessary for the operation of the services in question and must not be used to finance activities outside the scope of the service of general economic interest.

(3)

Pursuant to Directive 80/723/EEC, separate accounts must be maintained only where an undertaking entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest receives State aid. In its judgment in Altmark Trans GmbH  (2) the Court of Justice of the European Communities held that, under certain conditions, public service compensation does not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty.

(4)

However, irrespective of the legal classification of public service compensation in the light of Article 87(1) of the Treaty, the obligation to maintain separate accounts should apply to all undertakings receiving such compensation that also carry on activities outside the scope of the service of general economic interest. It is only by maintaining separate accounts that the costs imputable to the service of general economic interest can be identified and the correct amount of compensation calculated.

(5)

Directive 80/723/EEC should therefore be amended accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

Article 1

Article 2(1)(d) of Directive 80/723/EEC is replaced by the following:

‘(d)

undertaking required to maintain separate accounts. means any undertaking that enjoys a special or exclusive right granted by a Member State pursuant to Article 86(1) of the Treaty or is entrusted with the operation of a service of general economic interest pursuant to Article 86(2) of the Treaty, that receives public service compensation in any form whatsoever in relation to such service and that carries on other activities;’.

Article 2

Member States shall bring into force the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive by 19 December 2006 at the latest. They shall forthwith communicate to the Commission the text of those provisions and a correlation table between those provisions and this Directive.

When Member States adopt those provisions, they shall contain a reference to this Directive or be accompanied by such a reference on the occasion of their official publication. Member States shall determine how such reference is to be made.

Article 3

This Directive shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Article 4

This Directive is addressed to the Member States.

COUNCIL DECISION

of 8 November 2005

on the equivalence of checks on practices for the maintenance of varieties carried out in certain third countries and amending Decision 2003/17/EC

(2005/834/EC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 66/401/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of fodder plant seed (1), and in particular Article 16(1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (2), and in particular Article 16(1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/53/EC of 13 June 2002 on the common catalogue of varieties of agricultural plant species (3), and in particular Article 22(1)(b) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/54/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of beet seed (4), and in particular Article 23(1) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/55/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of vegetable seed (5), and in particular Article 37(1)(b) thereof,

Having regard to Council Directive 2002/57/EC of 13 June 2002 on the marketing of seed of oil and fibre plants (6), and in particular Article 20(1) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

By Decision 97/788/EC (7), the Council determined that the official checks on practices for the maintenance of varieties carried out in certain third countries afforded the same guarantees as those carried out by the Member States.

(2)

It appears that these checks continue to afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the Member States. Those checks should therefore continue to be considered as equivalent.

(3)

The Decision 97/788/EC expired on 30 June 2005. In order to avoid disruption of trade with these third countries, it is necessary that this Decision takes effect from 1 July 2005.

(4)

This Decision should not prevent Community findings on equivalence from being revoked or the extension of their period of validity from being refused when the conditions on which they are based are not, or cease to be, satisfied.

(5)

The measures necessary for implementation of this Decision should be adopted in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission (8).

(6)

Directive 2004/117/EC (9) extended the scope of Community seed equivalence regime to all categories of seeds including seed of generations prior to basic seed. Accordingly, it is appropriate to amend Decision 2003/17/EC (10), in order to align the provisions of that Decision with the modified provisions of the seeds marketing Directives,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

The official checks on practices for the maintenance of varieties carried out in the third countries and by the authorities, listed in the Annex, for the species covered by the Directives referred to for each of those countries shall afford the same guarantees as those carried out by the Member States.

Article 2

Amendments to the Annex, with the exception of those concerning the first column of the table, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 3(2).

Article 3

1.   The Commission shall be assisted by the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry set up by Article 1 of Decision 66/399/EEC (11), hereinafter referred to as ‘the Committee’.

2.   Where reference is made to this paragraph, Articles 4 and 7 of Decision 1999/468/EC shall apply.

The period laid down in Article 4(3) of Decision 1999/468/EC shall be set at one month.

3.   The Committee shall adopt its Rules of Procedure.

Article 4

In Decision 2003/17/EC Articles 1 and 2 shall be replaced by the following:

‘Article 1

Field inspections concerning the seed-producing crops of the species specified in Annex I carried out in the third countries listed in that Annex shall be considered equivalent to field inspections carried out in accordance with Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC, 2002/54/EC and 2002/57/EC provided that they:

(a)

are carried out officially by the authorities listed in Annex I, or under the official supervision of those authorities;

(b)

satisfy the conditions laid down in point A of Annex II.

Article 2

Seed of the species specified in Annex I, produced in the third countries listed in that Annex and officially certified by the authorities listed in that Annex shall be considered equivalent to seed complying with Directives 66/401/EEC, 66/402/EEC, 2002/54/EC and 2002/57/EC, if it satisfies the conditions laid down in point B of Annex II.’

Article 5

This Decision shall apply from 1 July 2005.

However, Article 4 shall apply as from 1 October 2005.

Article 6

This Decision is addressed to the Member States.

Done at Brussels, 8 November 2005.

COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION

of 14 November 2005

on priority actions to increase cooperation in the field of archives in Europe

(2005/835/EC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular the second indent of Article 151(5) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

(1)

As a result of the Resolution of the Council and the Ministers of Culture meeting within the Council of 14 November 1991 on arrangements concerning archives (1), and the Council Conclusions of 17 June 1994 concerning greater cooperation in the field of archives (2), initial progress has been made towards greater cooperation between the Member States in the field of archives.

(2)

The Council Resolution of 6 May 2003 on archives in the Member States (3) stressed the importance of archives for the understanding of the history and culture of Europe and for the democratic functioning of society within the framework of the enlargement of the Union on 1 May 2004.

(3)

Multidisciplinary forums have been held within a Community framework on the problems involved in the management, storage, preservation and retrieval of machine-readable data, with the participation of public administrations and national archives services, as well as representatives of industry and research.

(4)

The Council Resolution of 6 May 2003 stressed the need for further development of information and communications technologies applications and solutions in the field of archives.

(5)

The Commission highlights the work done by the institutions of the Union in the specific field of film archives in Europe, including the Council Resolution of 24 November 2003 (4) on the deposit of cinematographic works in the European Union and the Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council on film heritage and the competitiveness of related industrial activities which will be adopted before the end of 2005.

(6)

In its Resolution of 6 May 2003 the Council also invited the Commission to submit a report on the current situation and future development of archives in the enlarged Union. The ‘Report on archives in the enlarged European Union’, which was drawn up by a group of experts from the Member States and adopted in February 2005 (5), is a sound basis for the further development of archives in Europe. It includes, at the Council’s request, proposals for practical actions and guidelines with a view to increasing cooperation at European level in the field of archives,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

A.

A European Archives Group, comprising experts designated by the Member States and the institutions of the Union, should ensure cooperation and coordination on general matters relating to archives and follow-up of the work referred to in the ‘Report on archives in the enlarged European Union’ of February 2005, and in particular the priority measures referred to in point B of this Recommendation. Where and when appropriate, the European Archives Group should also cooperate with other relevant European networks such as the National Representatives Group on Digitisation and the European Bureau of Library, Information and Documentation (EBLIDA).

B.

The following measures in the field of archives:

1.

preservation of and prevention of damage to archives in Europe:

development of a model action plan by the European Archives Group to promote damage prevention measures for documents and archives in the context of natural catastrophes and other harmful incidents,

promotion by the European Archives Group of Community-wide actions for the preservation and restoration of damaged documents and archives,

establishment and promotion, by the national archives services of the Member States and the archives services of the institutions of the Union, of standards and specifications for the construction of new purpose built premises for archives;

2.

reinforcement of European interdisciplinary cooperation on electronic documents and archives to be further developed, including within the framework of the Council Work Plan for Culture, in particular regarding the coordination of digitalisation (6):

increase in cooperation on safeguarding the authenticity, long-term preservation and availability of electronic documents and archives, in particular by updating and extending the current requirements for setting up electronic document and archive management systems such as MoReq (Model requirements for electronic documents and archives management systems), which promote better public administration, and by continuing to organise DLM (7) forums on electronic documents and archives;

3.

establishment and maintenance of an Internet portal for documents and archives in Europe as a priority:

provision, through the national archives services of the Member States and the archives services of the institutions of the Union, of an Internet portal which would give easier and cross-border access to documents and archives of the Member States and institutions of the Union. That Internet portal could be hosted either on one of the European Union computer servers or by the national archives service of a Member State;

4.

promotion of best practice with regard to national and European law on the management of, and access to, documents and archives; the national archives services of the Member States and the archives services of the institutions of the Union should:

monitor new draft legislation in that field to be enacted in any of the Member States, with the aim of identifying best practices especially with regard to requirements for the management of and access to documents and archives,

link data on archival legislation and other related laws at national and Community level and facilitate consultation thereof by setting up a database in order to encourage dissemination of that legislation. That database could be hosted either on one of the European Union computer servers or by the national archives service of a Member State. It is advisable to take into account the work undertaken within the framework of the European legal data project, promoted by the European branch of the International Archives Council, EURBICA, as indicated in the ‘Report on Archives in the enlarged European Union’ (priority action 4.2);

5.

adoption of measures to prevent the theft of archival documents:

development of an action plan and common guidelines by the national archives services of the Member States that will allow for the exchange of information and best practices in order to combat the theft of archival documents and to facilitate the recovery of stolen documents.

C.

The Member States and the institutions of the Union should jointly promote the implementation of the priority measures identified in the ‘Report on archives in the enlarged European Union’ of February 2005 and referred to in point B of this Recommendation. The implementation of priority measures will take account of the work of the groups set up within the framework of the EBNA (European Board of National Archivists), notably with respect to cooperation in the fields of security and conservation of archives and putting into place a European information access portal. The adoption of this Recommendation and the implementation of these measures do not in themselves imply a commitment of new budgetary resources by either the European Union or the Member States. Where possible and in accordance with the relevant procedures, the European Union will endeavour, under existing programmes, to support projects aimed at the implementation of those measures.

D.

At the latest three years after the date of publication of this Recommendation, the European Archives Group should present a progress report on implementation of the priority measures referred to in point B.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 13 July 2005

declaring a concentration compatible with the common market and the functioning of the EEA Agreement — Case No COMP/M.3625 — Blackstone/Acetex

(notified under document number C(2005) 2672)

(Only the English text is authentic)

(2005/839/EC)

On 13 July 2005 the Commission adopted a Decision in a merger case under Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 of 20 January 2004 on the control of concentrations between undertakings (1), and in particular Article 8(1) of that Regulation. A non-confidential version of the full Decision can be found in the authentic language of the case and in the working languages of the Commission on the website of the Directorate-General for Competition, at the following address: http://europa.eu.int/comm/competition/index_en.html

(1)

On 20 January 2005, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 by which the undertaking Celanese Corporation (‘Celanese’, US) controlled by Blackstone Crystal Holdings Capital Partners (‘Blackstone’, Cayman Islands) acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of that Regulation the whole of the undertaking Acetex Corporation (‘Acetex’, Canada) by way of purchase of shares.

(2)

Blackstone is a private merchant-banking company based in the U.S., active mainly in financial advisory services, private equity investment and property investment. As described below, one of the companies controlled by Blackstone, ‘Celanese’, is active on the same product markets as Acetex.

(3)

Celanese is a chemicals company active globally in four main sectors: chemical products, acetate products, technical polymers and food ingredients. In the chemical products sector, Celanese manufactures basic chemicals such as acetic acid, acetic anhydride and vinyl acetate monomer (‘VAM’); performance chemicals such as polyvinyl alcohol (‘PVOH’) and emulsions; and specialty chemicals including carboxylic acids, alcohols, amines and esters.

(4)

Acetex is active in the acetyls and plastic business. The principal products of Acetex’s acetyls business are acetic acid and VAM, which together represented more than 70 % of Acetex’s acetyls sales of 2003. Acetex’s acetyls products also include the following acetic acid derivatives: acetic anhydride, PVOH and polyvinyl acetate (‘PVAc’).

(5)

The Advisory Committee on Concentrations, at its 132nd meeting on 22 June 2005, delivered a favourable opinion on a draft Decision granting clearance submitted to it by the Commission (2).

(6)

The Hearing Officer, in a report dated 29 June 2005, took the view that the right of the parties to be heard had been respected (2).

I.   THE RELEVANT MARKETS

Relevant product markets

(7)

The Commission’s investigation showed that the relevant product markets were the following: acetic acid, VAM, acetic anhydride and PVOH.

(8)

Acetic acid is an intermediate chemical product used in the production of various other chemicals including VAM, PVOH, acetic anhydride, acetate esters and monochloroacetic acid. The Commission’s investigation showed that acetic acid constitutes a separate product market as there are no substitutable products available on the market.

(9)

VAM is a commodity chemical derived from acetic acid. VAM can be produced in several ways: (i) by adding acetic acid to acetylene; (ii) by adding acetic acid to ethylene; (iii) by reaction of acetic anhydride with acetaldehyde. The Commission’s investigation showed that VAM constitutes a separate product market that does not need to be further fragmented.

(10)

Acetic anhydride is a basic chemical used primarily (approximately 75 %) for the production of cellulose acetate flake, which in turn is used as raw material for acetate tow (used to make cigarette filters, yarn and some engineering plastics). Other uses of acetic anhydride include the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and detergents. The Commission’s investigation showed that acetic anhydride should be considered as a separate product market given the fact that there are no substitutes for acetic anhydride.

(11)

PVOH is a water-soluble synthetic polymer belonging to a broader group of High Barrier Polymers. PVOH is obtained from polymerized VAM. The Commission’s investigation has shown that there are no substitutable products available. Therefore, for the purpose of this decision, PVOH constitutes a separate relevant product market.

Relevant geographic markets

(12)

The key issue in this case was to define the relevant geographic scope for acetic acid, VAM and acetic anhydride. The parties submitted that the geographic markets were global and based their view on five main points:

Imports satisfy more than 20 % of Western European demand.

Neither transport costs, nor import duties nor national regulations inhibit the worldwide trade of the products concerned.

Major global producers supply Western Europe solely through imports.

The global trade flows seem to shift freely among Asia, Eastern Europe, Western Europe and North America in response to changes in local supply and demand.

Prices appear to be highly correlated across geographic regions worldwide.

(13)

During the market investigation, the parties’ arguments were verified and generally confirmed. In particular, the Commission analysed the trade flows of acetic acid, VAM and acetic anhydride between the different world regions, the average price charged in the different regions, the structure of the price, and the importance of production and transaction (transport, storage and duties) costs as well as capacity developments. Furthermore, the majority of respondents to the investigation indicated that they considered the relevant geographic markets to be global for all three products.

(14)

To support their claims concerning the definition of the geographic markets for acetic acid and VAM, the parties also submitted a number of econometric studies (price correlation analysis and analysis of the impact of unexpected plant outages on trade flows), which in their view point towards global markets. The Commission carefully reviewed and replicated these studies. It furthermore conducted its own study with more accurate data. According to its results, the geographic market of both acetic acid and VAM includes at least the EEA and North America wide but might also be global.

(15)

For the reasons set above, the decision concludes that for the purpose of this case, the relevant geographic markets for acetic acid, VAM and acetic anhydride are global.

(16)

In a past decision (3), the Commission considered that the relevant geographic market for all types of High Barrier Polymers, including PVOH, was worldwide. This has broadly been confirmed by the Commission’s market investigation. Therefore, the decision concludes that the relevant geographic market for PVOH is global.

II.   ASSESSMENT

(17)

In the global market for acetic acid, the market shares of the new entity will amount to [20-30] (4) % (Celanese, [20-30] %; Acetex, [0-5] %) in terms of capacity and [20-30] % (Celanese, [15-25] %; Acetex, [5-10] %) in terms of merchant sales. The combined entity will face competition from the current largest player on the market, BP (capacity [20-30] %; merchant sales [25-35] %) and other strong players such as Millennium (capacity [1-10] %; merchant sales [1-10] %) and Daicel (capacity [1-10] %; merchant sales [1-10] %).

(18)

The Commission has analysed whether competitors have enough capacity to restrain an anti-competitive price increase and whether customers can easily switch suppliers in the event of a price increase. Given the level of concentration in the market, it was also necessary to examine the possibility that the proposed operation could give rise to coordinated effects.

(19)

The decision concludes that unilateral effects are unlikely because the capacity will increase faster than projected demand and there will therefore be sufficient capacity to defeat a potential price increase. Furthermore, it appears to be easy for customers to change their suppliers, particularly as a large majority of the customers obtain their supplies from multiple sources. With regards to coordinated effects, the decision also concludes that such effects are unlikely, having carefully examined the market structure, the market transparency, the credible retaliation mechanisms, and the reaction of customers and current and potential competitors.

(20)

In the global market for VAM, the market shares of the new entity will amount to [25-35] % (Celanese [20-30] %; Acetex [0-5] %) in terms of capacity and [35-45] % (Celanese [30-40] %; Acetex [5-10] %) in terms of merchant sales. The parties will face competition from several large players such as Dow (capacity [5-15] %; merchant, [5-15] %), Millennium (capacity [5-15] %; merchant [10-20] %), DuPont (capacity [10-20] %), Dairen (capacity [1-10] %; merchant [1-10] %) and BP (capacity [1-10] %; merchant [5-15] %).

(21)

For similar reasons as those set out for the acid acetic market, and after a careful examination of the characteristics of the VAM market, the decision concludes that unilateral effects are unlikely. The decision also concludes that coordinated anticompetitive effects are unlikely on the VAM market mainly because of the substantial gap between the parties’ merchant market shares and those of the largest competitor. In addition, the different levels of integration and the use of different technologies give rise to different cost structures and incentives for the various producers, which further reduce the likelihood of successful co-ordination.

(22)

In the global market for acetic anhydride, the market shares of the new entity will amount to [15-25] % (Celanese [15-25] %; Acetex [0-5] %) in terms of capacity and [30-40] % (Celanese [25-35] %; Acetex [5-10] %) in terms of merchant sales. The parties will face competition from BP, Eastman, Jilin and Daicel with market shares on the merchant sales market of [15-25] %, [10-20] %, [5-15] % and [1-10] % respectively. Considering the strong competition that the combined entity will face from these competitors, which currently produce at competitive cost, the decision concludes that the notified operation will not significantly impede effective competition on the global market for acetic anhydride. The likelihood of coordinated effects is also examined in the decision, which concludes that such effects are excluded.

(23)

In the global market for PVOH, the market shares of the new entity will amount to [5-15] % (Celanese [5-10] %; Acetex [0-5] %) in terms of capacity and [5-15] % (Celanese [5-10] %; Acetex [0-5] %) in terms of merchant sales. This combined market share would not allow the parties to exercise market power; therefore the decision concludes that the operation will not significantly impede effective competition on the global PVOH market.

(24)

Finally, the Commission has assessed the potential effects of the transaction on vertically related markets. Both Celanese and Acetex are downstream vertically integrated companies in the sense that they use acetic acid to produce both acetic anhydride and VAM, and VAM to produce PVOH. Celanese is active on the downstream markets for emulsions and emulsion powders, cellulose acetate and acetate esters. Acetex is a consumer of ethylene vinyl acetate resin copolymers and PVAc resins. However, given the low market shares of the parties and the relatively small increment brought about by the transaction on the relevant markets, the decision concludes that the transaction is unlikely to affect the vertically related markets.

III.   CONCLUSION

(25)

For the reasons set out above, the Commission concluded that the proposed concentration does not significantly impede effective competition in the common market or a substantial part of it, in particular as a result of the creation or strengthening of a dominant position. The concentration is therefore to be declared compatible with the common market and the EEA Agreement, in accordance with Article 8(1) of the Merger Regulation and Article 57 of the EEA Agreement.

COMMISSION DECISION

of 25 November 2005

amending Decision 2004/4/EC authorising Member States temporarily to take emergency measures against the dissemination of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith as regards Egypt

(notified under document number C(2005) 4525)

(2005/840/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 2000/29/EC of 8 May 2000 on protective measures against the introduction into the Community of organisms harmful to plants or plant products and against their spread within the Community (1), and in particular Article 16(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Under Commission Decision 2004/4/EC (2), tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. originating in Egypt must not in principle be introduced into the Community. However, for the 2004/2005 import season, the entry into the Community of such tubers is permitted from ‘pest-free areas’ and subject to specific conditions.

(2)

During the 2004/2005 import season, a number of interceptions of Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith were recorded resulting in a prohibition on all exports of Egyptian potatoes to the Community as of 6 April 2005.

(3)

Egypt has submitted a report into the causes of these interceptions. The main finding is that stricter measures need to be taken as regards producers, inspectors, exporters and packing stations failing to follow their instructions regarding the export of potatoes destined for the Community. Certain measures have already been taken in Egypt.

(4)

It is appropriate to lay down at Community level requirements to ensure the effectiveness of inspections and controls carried out in Egypt on potatoes at the packing station and the port of dispatch prior to export to the Community.

(5)

In the light of the information provided by Egypt, the Commission has established that there is no risk of spreading Pseudomonas solanacearum (Smith) Smith with the entry into the Community of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. from pest-free areas of Egypt, provided that certain conditions are satisfied.

(6)

The entry into the Community of tubers of Solanum tuberosum L. originating in pest-free areas of Egypt should therefore be permitted for the 2005/2006 import season subject to specified conditions.

(7)

Decision 2004/4/EC should therefore be amended accordingly.

(8)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

COMMISSION DECISION

of 28 November 2005

providing for the temporary marketing of certain seed of the species Triticum durum, not satisfying the requirements of Council Directive 66/402/EEC

(notified under document number C(2005) 4527)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2005/841/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Directive 66/402/EEC of 14 June 1966 on the marketing of cereal seed (1), and in particular Article 17 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

In Austria the quantity of available seed of winter varieties of durum wheat (Triticum durum) suitable for the national climatic conditions and which satisfies the germination capacity requirements of Directive 66/402/EEC is insufficient and is therefore not adequate to meet the needs of the Member State.

(2)

It is not possible to meet the demand for seed of that species satisfactorily with seed from other Member States or from third countries, which satisfies all the requirements laid down in Directive 66/402/EEC.

(3)

Accordingly, Austria should be authorised to permit the marketing of seed of that species subject to less stringent requirements for a period expiring on 15 November 2005.

(4)

In addition, other Member States irrespective of whether the seed was harvested in a Member State or in a third country covered by Council Decision 2003/17/EC of 16 December 2002 on the equivalence of field inspections carried out in third countries on seed-producing crops and the equivalence of seed produced in third countries (2) which are in a position to supply Austria with seed of that species, should be authorised to permit the marketing of such seed.

(5)

It is appropriate that Austria act as coordinator in order to ensure that the total amount of seed authorised pursuant to this Decision does not exceed the maximum quantity covered by this Decision.

(6)

The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Seeds and Propagating Material for Agriculture, Horticulture and Forestry,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

COMMISSION DECISION

of 28 November 2005

on the application of Article 86(2) of the EC Treaty to State aid in the form of public service compensation granted to certain undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest

(notified under document number C(2005) 2673)

(2005/842/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 86(3) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

Article 16 of the Treaty requires the Community, without prejudice to Articles 73, 86 and 87, to use its powers in such a way as to make sure that services of general economic interest operate on the basis of principles and conditions which enable them to fulfil their missions.

(2)

For certain services of general economic interest to operate on the basis of principles and under conditions that enable them to fulfil their missions, financial support from the State intended to cover some or all of the specific costs resulting from the public service obligations may prove necessary. In accordance with Article 295 of the Treaty, as interpreted by the case-law of the Court of Justice and Court of First Instance of the European Communities, it is irrelevant from the viewpoint of Community law whether such services of general economic interest are operated by public or private undertakings.

(3)

Article 86(2) of the Treaty states in this respect that undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest or having the character of a revenue-producing monopoly are subject to the rules contained in the Treaty, in particular to the rules on competition. However, Article 86(2) allows an exception from the rules contained in the Treaty, provided that a number of criteria are met. Firstly, there must be an act of entrustment, whereby the State confers responsibility for the execution of a certain task to an undertaking. Secondly, the entrustment must relate to a service of general economic interest. Thirdly, the exception has to be necessary for the performance of the tasks assigned and proportional to that end (hereinafter the necessity requirement). Finally, the development of trade must not be affected to such an extent as would be contrary to the interests of the Community.

(4)

In its judgment in the case of Altmark Trans GmbH and Regierungspräsidium Magdeburg v Nahverkehrsgesellschaft Altmark GmbH  (1) (Altmark), the Court of Justice held that public service compensation does not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 87 of the Treaty provided that four cumulative criteria are met. First, the recipient undertaking must actually have public service obligations to discharge, and the obligations must be clearly defined. Second, the parameters on the basis of which the compensation is calculated must be established in advance in an objective and transparent manner. Third, the compensation cannot exceed what is necessary to cover all or part of the costs incurred in the discharge of the public service obligations, taking into account the relevant receipts and a reasonable profit. Finally, where the undertaking which is to discharge public service obligations, in a specific case, is not chosen pursuant to a public procurement procedure which would allow for the selection of the tenderer capable of providing those services at the least cost to the community, the level of compensation needed must be determined on the basis of an analysis of the costs which a typical undertaking, well run and adequately provided with means of transport, would have incurred.

(5)

Where those four criteria are met, public service compensation does not constitute State aid, and Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty do not apply. If the Member States do not respect those criteria and if the general criteria for the applicability of Article 87(1) of the Treaty are met, public service compensation constitutes State aid that is subject to Articles 73, 86, 87 and 88 of the Treaty. This Decision should therefore only apply to public service compensation in so far as it constitutes State aid.

(6)

Article 86(3) of the Treaty allows the Commission to specify the meaning and extent of the exception under Article 86(2) of the Treaty, and to set out rules intended to enable effective monitoring of the fulfilment of the criteria set out in Article 86(2), where necessary. The conditions under which certain systems of compensation are compatible with Article 86(2) and are not subject to the prior notification requirement of Article 88(3) of the Treaty should therefore be specified.

(7)

Such aid may be declared compatible only if it is granted in order to ensure the provision of services that are services of general economic interest as referred to in Article 86(2) of the Treaty. It is clear from the case-law that, with the exception of the sectors in which there are Community rules governing the matter, Member States have a wide margin of discretion in the definition of services that could be classified as being services of general economic interest. Thus, with the exception of the sectors in which there are Community rules governing the matter, the Commission’s task is to ensure that there is no manifest error as regards the definition of services of general economic interest.

(8)

In order for Article 86(2) of the Treaty to apply, the undertaking beneficiary of the aid must have been specifically entrusted by the Member State with the operation of a particular service of general economic interest. According to the case-law on the interpretation of Article 86(2) of the Treaty, such act or acts of entrustment must specify, at least, the precise nature, scope and duration of the public service obligations imposed and the identity of the undertakings concerned.

(9)

In order to ensure that the criteria set out in Article 86(2) of the Treaty are met, it is necessary to lay down more precise conditions which must be fulfilled in respect of the entrustment of the operation of services of general economic interest. Indeed the amount of compensation can be properly calculated and checked only if the public service obligations incumbent on the undertakings and any obligations incumbent on the State are clearly set out in a formal act of the competent public authorities within the Member State concerned. The form of the instrument may vary from one Member State to another but it should specify, at least, the precise nature, scope and duration of the public service obligations imposed and the identity of undertakings concerned, and the costs to be borne by the undertaking concerned.

(10)

When defining public service obligations and in assessing whether those obligations are met by the undertakings concerned, the Member States are invited to consult widely, with particular emphasis on users.

(11)

Moreover, in order to avoid unjustified distortions of competition, Article 86(2) of the Treaty requires that compensation does not exceed what is necessary to cover the costs incurred by the undertaking in discharging the public service obligations, account being taken of the relevant receipts and a reasonable profit. This should be understood as referring to the actual costs incurred by the undertaking concerned.

(12)

Compensation in excess of what is necessary to cover the costs incurred by the undertaking concerned is not necessary for the operation of the service of general economic interest, and consequently constitutes incompatible State aid that should be repaid to the State. Compensation granted for the operation of a service of general economic interest but actually used by the undertaking concerned to operate on another market is also not necessary for the operation of the service of general economic interest, and consequently also constitutes incompatible State aid that should be repaid.

(13)

In order to ensure compliance with the necessity requirement set out in Article 86(2) of the Treaty it is necessary to lay down provisions relating to the calculation and monitoring of the amount of compensation granted. Member States should check regularly that the compensation granted does not lead to overcompensation. Nevertheless, in order to allow a minimum of flexibility for undertakings and Member States, where the amount of overcompensation does not exceed 10 % of the amount of annual compensation, it should be possible for such overcompensation to be carried forward to the next period and be deducted from the amount of compensation which would otherwise have been payable. The revenue of undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest in the field of social housing may vary dramatically, in particular due to the risk of insolvency of leaseholders. Consequently, where such undertakings only operate services of general economic interest, it should be possible for any overcompensation during one period to be carried forward to the next period, up to 20 % of the annual compensation.

(14)

To the extent that compensation is granted to undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest, the amount of the compensation does not go beyond the costs of the services, and the thresholds laid down in this Decision are respected, the Commission considers that the development of trade is not affected to such an extent as would be contrary to the interests of the Community. In such circumstances, the Commission considers that the compensation should be deemed to constitute State aid compatible with Article 86(2) of the Treaty.

(15)

Small amounts of compensation granted to undertakings providing services of general economic interest whose turnover is limited do not affect the development of trade and competition to such an extent as would be contrary to the interests of the Community. When the conditions set out in this Decision are fulfilled, prior notification should therefore not be required. For the purpose of defining the scope of the exemption from notification, the turnover of undertakings receiving public service compensation and the level of such compensation should be taken into consideration.

(16)

Hospitals and undertakings in charge of social housing which are entrusted with tasks involving services of general economic interest have specific characteristics that need to be taken into consideration. In particular, account should be taken of the fact that at the current stage of development of the internal market, the intensity of distortion of competition in those sectors is not necessarily proportionate to the level of turnover and compensation. Accordingly, hospitals providing medical care, including, where applicable, emergency services and ancillary services directly related to the main activities, notably in the field of research, and undertakings in charge of social housing providing housing for disadvantaged citizens or socially less advantaged groups, which due to solvability constraints are unable to obtain housing at market conditions, should benefit from the exemption from notification provided for in this Decision, even if the amount of compensation they receive exceeds the thresholds laid down in this Decision, if the services performed are qualified as services of general economic interest by the Member States.

(17)

Article 73 of the Treaty constitutes a lex specialis with regard to Article 86(2). It lays down the rules applicable to public service compensation in the land transport sector. That Article has been developed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 of 26 June 1969 on action by Member States concerning the obligations inherent in the concept of a public service in transport by rail, road and inland waterway (2), which lays down general conditions for public service obligations in the land transport sector and imposes methods for calculating compensation. Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69 exempts all compensation in the land transport sector that fulfils the conditions of notification under Article 88(3) of the Treaty. It also allows Member States to derogate from its provisions in the case of undertakings providing exclusively urban, suburban or regional transport. Where that derogation is applied, any compensation for public service obligations is, in so far as it constitutes State aid, governed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1107/70 of 4 June 1970 on the granting of aids for transport by rail, road and inland waterway (3). According to the judgment in Altmark, compensation which does not respect the provisions of Article 73 cannot be declared compatible with the Treaty on the basis of Article 86(2), or on the basis of any other Treaty provision. Consequently, such compensation should not be covered by this Decision.

(18)

Unlike land transport, the maritime and air transport sectors are subject to Article 86(2) of the Treaty. Certain rules applicable to public service compensation in the air and maritime transport sectors are to be found in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes (4) and Council Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92 of 7 December 1992 applying the principle of freedom to provide services to maritime transport within Member States (maritime cabotage) (5). However, contrary to Regulation (EEC) No 1191/69, these Regulations do not refer to the compatibility of the possible State aid elements nor contain an exemption from the obligation to notify under Article 88(2) of the Treaty. It is therefore appropriate to apply this Decision to public service compensation in the air and maritime transport sectors provided that, in addition to fulfilling the conditions set out in this Decision, such compensation also respects the sectoral rules contained in Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 and Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92 when applicable.

(19)

The thresholds applicable to public service compensation in the air and maritime transport sectors should normally be the same as those applicable in general. However, in the specific cases of public service compensation for air or maritime links to islands and for airports and ports which constitute services of general economic interest as referred to in Article 86(2) of the Treaty it is more appropriate to also provide alternative thresholds based on average annual number of passengers as this more accurately reflects the economic reality of these activities.

(20)

This Decision is to a large extent a specification of the meaning and extent of the exception under Article 86(2) of the Treaty as it has been consistently applied in the past by the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance and by the Commission. To the extent that it does not modify the material law applicable in this area it should apply immediately. However, certain provisions of this Decision go beyond the status quo by setting out additional requirements aimed at enabling effective monitoring of the criteria set out in Article 86(2). In order to allow Member States to take the necessary measures in this respect, it is appropriate to foresee a period of one year prior to the application of those specific provisions.

(21)

Exemption from the requirement of prior notification for certain services of general economic interest does not rule out the possibility for Member States to notify a specific aid project. Such notification will be assessed in accordance with the principles of the Community framework for State aid in the form of public service compensation (6).

(22)

This Decision applies without prejudice to the provisions of Commission Directive 80/723/EEC of 25 June 1980 on the transparency of financial relations between Member States and public undertakings as well as on financial transparency within certain undertakings (7).

(23)

This Decision applies without prejudice to the Community provisions in force in the fields of public procurement and of competition, in particular Articles 81 and 82 of the Treaty.

(24)

This Decision applies without prejudice to stricter specific provisions relating to public service obligations that are contained in sectoral Community legislation,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Subject matter

This Decision sets out the conditions under which State aid in the form of public service compensation granted to certain undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest is to be regarded as compatible with the common market and exempt from the requirement of notification laid down in Article 88(3) of the Treaty.

Article 2

Scope

1.   This Decision applies to State aid in the form of public service compensation granted to undertakings in connection with services of general economic interest as referred to in Article 86(2) of the Treaty which falls within one of the following categories:

(a)

public service compensation granted to undertakings with an average annual turnover before tax, all activities included, of less than EUR 100 million during the two financial years preceding that in which the service of general economic interest was assigned, which receive annual compensation for the service in question of less than EUR 30 million;

(b)

public service compensation granted to hospitals and social housing undertakings carrying out activities qualified as services of general economic interest by the Member State concerned;

(c)

public service compensation for air or maritime links to islands on which average annual traffic during the two financial years preceding that in which the service of general economic interest was assigned does not exceed 300 000 passengers;

(d)

public service compensation for airports and ports for which average annual traffic during the two financial years preceding that in which the service of general economic interest was assigned does not exceed 1 000 000 passengers, in the case of airports, and 300 000 passengers, in the case of ports.

The threshold of EUR 30 million in point (a) of the first subparagraph may be determined by taking an annual average representing the value of compensation granted during the contract period or over a period of five years. For credit institutions, the threshold of EUR 100 million of turnover shall be replaced by a threshold of EUR 800 million in terms of balance sheet total.

2.   In the field of air and maritime transport, this Decision shall only apply to State aid in the form of public service compensation granted to undertakings in connection with services of general economic interest as referred to in Article 86(2) of the Treaty which complies with Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 and Regulation (EEC) No 3577/92, when applicable.

This Decision shall not apply to State aid in the form of public service compensation granted to undertakings in the field of land transport.

Article 3

Compatibility and exemption from notification

State aid in the form of public service compensation that meets the conditions laid down in this Decision shall be compatible with the common market and shall be exempt from the obligation of prior notification provided for in Article 88(3) of the Treaty, without prejudice to the application of stricter provisions relating to public service obligations contained in sectoral Community legislation.

Article 4

Entrustment

In order for this Decision to apply, responsibility for operation of the service of general economic interest shall be entrusted to the undertaking concerned by way of one or more official acts, the form of which may be determined by each Member State. The act or acts shall specify, in particular:

(a)

the nature and the duration of the public service obligations;

(b)

the undertaking and territory concerned;

(c)

the nature of any exclusive or special rights assigned to the undertaking;

(d)

the parameters for calculating, controlling and reviewing the compensation;

(e)

the arrangements for avoiding and repaying any overcompensation.

Article 5

Compensation

1.   The amount of compensation shall not exceed what is necessary to cover the costs incurred in discharging the public service obligations, taking into account the relevant receipts and a reasonable profit on any own capital necessary for discharging those obligations. The compensation must be actually used for the operation of the service of general economic interest concerned, without prejudice to the undertaking’s ability to enjoy a reasonable profit.

The amount of compensation shall include all the advantages granted by the State or through State resources in any form whatsoever. The reasonable profit shall take account of all or some of the productivity gains achieved by the undertakings concerned during an agreed limited period without reducing the level of quality of the services entrusted to the undertaking by the State.

2.   The costs to be taken into consideration shall comprise all the costs incurred in the operation of the service of general economic interest. They shall be calculated, on the basis of generally accepted cost accounting principles, as follows:

(a)

where the activities of the undertaking in question are confined to the service of general economic interest, all its costs may be taken into consideration;

(b)

where the undertaking also carries out activities falling outside the scope of the service of general economic interest, only the costs associated with the service of general economic interest shall be taken into consideration;

(c)

the costs allocated to the service of general economic interest may cover all the variable costs incurred in providing the service of general economic interest, a proportionate contribution to fixed costs common to both service of general economic interest and other activities and a reasonable profit;

(d)

the costs linked with investments, notably concerning infrastructure, may be taken into account when necessary for the operation of the service of general economic interest.

3.   The revenue to be taken into account shall include at least the entire revenue earned from the service of general economic interest. If the undertaking in question holds special or exclusive rights linked to another service of general economic interest that generates profit in excess of the reasonable profit, or benefits from other advantages granted by the State, these shall be included in its revenue, irrespective of their classification for the purposes of Article 87. The Member State concerned may decide that the profits accruing from other activities outside the scope of the service of general economic interest are to be assigned in whole or in part to the financing of the service of general economic interest.

4.   For the purposes of this Decision ‘reasonable profit’ means a rate of return on own capital that takes account of the risk, or absence of risk, incurred by the undertaking by virtue of the intervention by the Member State, particularly if the latter grants exclusive or special rights. This rate shall not normally exceed the average rate for the sector concerned in recent years. In sectors where there is no undertaking comparable to the undertaking entrusted with the operation of the service of general economic interest, a comparison may be made with undertakings situated in other Member States, or if necessary, in other sectors, provided that the particular characteristics of each sector are taken into account. In determining what constitutes a reasonable profit, the Member States may introduce incentive criteria relating, in particular, to the quality of service provided and gains in productive efficiency.

5.   When a company carries out activities falling both inside and outside the scope of services of general economic interest, the internal accounts shall show separately the costs and receipts associated with the service of general economic interest and those of other services, as well as the parameters for allocating costs and revenues.

The costs linked to any activities outside the scope of the service of general economic interest shall cover all the variable costs, an appropriate contribution to common fixed costs and an adequate return on capital. No compensation shall be granted in respect of those costs.

Article 6

Control of overcompensation

Member States shall carry out regular checks, or ensure that such checks are carried out, to ensure that undertakings are not receiving compensation in excess of the amount determined in accordance with Article 5.

Member States shall require the undertaking concerned to repay any overcompensation paid, and the parameters for the calculation of the compensation shall be updated for the future. Where the amount of overcompensation does not exceed 10 % of the amount of the annual compensation, such overcompensation may be carried forward to the next annual period and deducted from the amount of compensation payable in respect of that period.

In the sector of social housing, Member States shall carry out regular checks, or ensure that such checks are carried out, at the level of each undertaking, to ensure that the undertaking concerned is not receiving compensation in excess of the amount determined in accordance with Article 5. Any overcompensation may be carried forward to the next period up to 20 % of the annual compensation, provided that the undertaking concerned only operates services of general economic interest.

Article 7

Availability of information

The Member States shall keep available for a period of at least 10 years, all the elements necessary to determine whether the compensation granted is compatible with this Decision.

Upon a written request from the Commission, Member States shall provide the Commission with all the information that the latter considers necessary to determine whether the systems of compensation in force are compatible with this Decision.

Article 8

Reports

Periodic reports on the implementation of this Decision, comprising a detailed description of the conditions of application in all sectors, including the social housing and the hospital sectors, shall be submitted to the Commission by each Member State every three years.

The first report shall be submitted by 19 December 2008.

Article 9

Evaluation

By 19 December 2009 at the latest, the Commission will undertake an impact assessment based on factual information and the results of wide consultations conducted by the Commission on the basis, notably, of data provided by the Member States in accordance with Article 8.

The results of the impact assessment will be made available to the European Parliament, the Committee of Regions, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Member States.

Article 10

Entry into force

This Decision shall enter into force on 19 December 2005.

Points (c), (d) and (e) of Article 4, and Article 6 shall apply from 29 November 2006.
