De réir Airteagal 1(c) de Rialachán (AE) 2015/1589 ón gComhairle, ciallaíonn cabhair nua “gach cabhair, is é sin le rá, scéimeanna cabhrach agus cabhair aonair, nach cabhair í atá ann faoi láthair, lena n-áirítear athruithe ar chabhair atá ann faoi láthair”.
According to Article 1(c) of Council Regulation (EU) 2015/1589, new aid means ‘all aid, that is to say, aid schemes and individual aid, which is not existing aid, including alterations to existing aid’.

Meabhraíonn an Coimisiún ar dtús go gciallaíonn cabhair nua, de réir Airteagal 1(c) de Rialachán (AE) 2015/1589 ón gComhairle, “gach cabhair, is é sin le rá, scéimeanna cabhrach agus cabhair aonair, nach cabhair í atá ann cheana, lena n-áirítear athruithe ar chabhair atá ann cheana”.
The Commission first recalls that, according to Article 1(c) of Regulation (EU) 2015/1589, new aid means ‘all aid, that is to say, aid schemes and individual aid, which is not existing aid, including alterations to existing aid’.
#2404941
De réir Airteagal 1(c) de Rialachán (AE) 2015/1589 ón gComhairle, ciallaíonn cabhair nua “gach cabhair, is é sin le rá, scéimeanna cabhrach agus cabhair aonair, nach cabhair í atá ann faoi láthair, lena n-áirítear athruithe ar chabhair atá ann faoi láthair”.
According to Article 1(c) of Council Regulation (EU) 2015/1589, new aid means ‘all aid, that is to say, aid schemes and individual aid, which is not existing aid, including alterations to existing aid’.

Faoi Airteagal 1(f) de Chuid II de Phrótacal 3, ciallóidh ‘cabhair neamhdhleathach’ cabhair nua arna cur i bhfeidhm de shárú ar Airteagal 1(3) i gCuid I. In Airteagal 1(c) de Chuid II de Phrótacal 3 sainmhínítear ‘cabhair nua’ mar scéimeanna cabhrach agus cabhair aonair, nach cabhair í atá ann cheana, lena n-áirítear athruithe ar chabhair atá ann cheana.
Under Article 1(f) of Part II of Protocol 3, ‘unlawful aid’ shall mean new aid put into effect in contravention of Article 1(3) in Part I. Article 1(c) of Part II of Protocol 3 defines ‘new aid’ as aid schemes and individual aid, which is not existing aid, including alterations to existing aid.

Ar deireadh, thagair Siremar in EA do Bhreithiúnas 2009 lenar neamhníodh Cinneadh 2004 agus don fhéidearthacht go bhféadfaí an cúiteamh seirbhíse poiblí ar a ndearnadh measúnú sa Chinneadh sin a aicmiú mar chabhair a bhí ann cheana.
Finally, Siremar in EA referred to the 2009 Judgment that annulled the 2004 Decision and the possibility that the public service compensation assessed in that Decision could be classified as existing aid.
#2242937
Tugann an Coimisiún dá aire nár áitigh údaráis na hIodáile ná Siremar in EA gur cabhair atá ann cheana í an tosaíocht feistithe.
The Commission notes that neither the Italian authorities nor Siremar in EA have argued that the berthing priority is existing aid.
#2407889
Ina theannta sin, áitíonn an Phortaingéil dá mbeadh “cabhair” i gceist le scéim ZFM, go gcaithfí í a cháiliú mar “chabhair reatha”.
Furthermore, Portugal argues that if the ZFM scheme should entail ‘aid’, it has to be qualified as ‘existing aid’.
#2407890
Tháinig scéim ZFM roimh aontachas na Portaingéile leis an CEE agus ní dhearnadh aon athruithe substaintiúla ar an scéim lasmuigh den chreat caibidlíochta maidir le cabhair atá ann cheana.
The ZFM scheme predates the accession of Portugal to the EEC and the scheme has not undergone any substantial changes outside the negotiation framework on existing aid.
#2408063
Áitíonn an Phortaingéil gur cheart caitheamh le scéim ZFM mar chabhair atá ann cheana féin, dá mbeadh “cabhair” i gceist léi.
Portugal argues that the ZFM scheme should be treated as existing aid, if it should entail ‘aid’.
#2408065
Ba cheart, dá bhrí sin, í a aicmiú mar scéim “chabhrach atá ann cheana” de réir bhrí Airteagal 1(b)(i) de Rialachán (AE) 2015/1589..
It should be therefore classified as an ‘existing aid’ scheme within the meaning of Article 1(b)(i) of Regulation (EU) 2015/1589.
#2408075
I bhfianaise a bhfuil thuas, ní hionann an beart sa chás seo agus cabhair atá ann cheana de réir bhrí Airteagal 1(b)(i) de Rialachán (AE) 2015/1589.
In view of the above, the measure in this case does not constitute existing aid falling within the meaning of Article 1(b)(i) of Regulation (EU) 2015/1589.
#3257340
Ní cosúil gur ann d’aon cheann de na coinníollacha maidir le cabhair atá ann cheana a aimsiú, ná níor áitigh údaráis na hIorua gur ann dóibh.
None of the conditions for finding existing aid appear to, nor have been argued to be, present by the Norwegian authorities.

Bhain an Coimisiún de thátal as gur cabhair a bhí ann faoi láthair an chabhair a ceadaíodh chun seirbhísí iompair cabatáiste muirí, fad agus a bhí an chabhair a deonaíodh chun seirbhísí iompair muirí idirnáisiúnta a sholáthar comhoiriúnach le Creat 2011 um sheirbhísí lena ngabhann leas eacnamaíoch ginearálta (“SGEI”) (“Creat SGEI 2011”).
The Commission concluded that the aid granted for the provision of maritime cabotage transport services constituted existing aid, while the aid granted for the provision of international maritime transport services was compatible with the 2011 services of general economic interest (‘SGEI’) Framework (the ‘2011 SGEI Framework’).
#2236233
Áitíonn siad ar bhonn an chinnidh sin de chuid an Choimisiúin gur deimhníodh go raibh an Coinbhinsiún tosaigh comhoiriúnach go dtí dáta a éaga ag deireadh 2008 agus nach raibh i gceist lena fhadú thar na blianta 2009 go 2011 ach leanúint shimplí de bheart comhoiriúnach agus, dá réir sin, gur beart cabhrach atá ann faoi láthair é.
They argue that on the basis of that decision the Commission had confirmed the compatibility of the initial Convention until its expiry date at the end of 2008 and that its prolongation for the years 2009 to 2011 constitutes simply a continuation of a compatible measure, hence an existing aid measure.
#2236290
Thairis sin, foráiltear le hAirteagal 108(3) CFAE nach mór fógra a thabhairt don Choimisiún in am trátha maidir le pleananna chun cabhair atá ann faoi láthair a dheonú nó a athrú agus nach bhféadfar iad a chur chun feidhme go dtí go mbeidh cinneadh críochnaitheach ann de bharr an nós imeachta.
Furthermore, Article 108(3) TFEU provides that plans to grant or alter existing aid must be notified, in due time, to the Commission and may not be implemented until the procedure has led to a final decision.
#2236292
Ar na cúiseanna thuas, measann an Coimisiún gur cheart an cúiteamh seirbhíse poiblí a íocadh ar bhonn fhadú an Choinbhinsiúin tosaigh a mheas mar chabhair nua gan beann ar aicmiú an chúitimh a dámhadh do Toremar suas go dtí deireadh 2008 mar chabhair a bhí ann cheana.
For the above reasons, the Commission considers that regardless of the fact that the compensation awarded to Toremar up until end 2008 has been classified as existing aid, the public service compensation paid on the basis of the prolongation of the initial Convention should be considered as new aid.
#2236927
Is ábhar do chinneadh ar leithligh de chuid an Choimisiúin é an measúnú ar an gcúiteamh sin agus cé acu is féidir, nó nach féidir, é a aicmiú mar chabhair atá ann faoi láthair ar bhonn Airteagal 4(3) den Rialachán Cabatáiste Muirí .
The assessment of that compensation, and whether or not it can be classified as existing aid on the basis of Article 4(3) of the Maritime Cabotage Regulation, is the subject of a separate Commission decision.
#2241406
Má mheasann an Coimisiún nach bhfuil an chabhair atá ann cheana comhoiriúnach nó nach bhfuil sí comhoiriúnach a thuilleadh leis an margadh inmheánach, féadfaidh sé an nós imeachta a thionscnamh atá leagtha síos i gCaibidil IV de Rialachán (AE) 2015/1589 ón gComhairle an 13 Iúil 2015 lena leagtar síos rialacha mionsonraithe maidir le hAirteagal 108 den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh a chur i bhfeidhm (IO L 248, 24.9.2015, lch. 9).
If the Commission considers that existing aid is not or is no longer compatible with the internal market, it may initiate the procedure laid down in Chapter IV of Council Regulation (EU) 2015/1589 of 13 July 2015 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (OJ L 248, 24.9.2015, p. 9).
#2242002
Tháinig an Coimisiún ar an gconclúid gurbh ionann an chabhair a ceadaíodh chun seirbhísí iompair cabatáiste muirí agus cabhair atá ann cheana, fad agus a bhí an chabhair a deonaíodh chun seirbhísí iompair muirí idirnáisiúnta a sholáthar comhoiriúnach le Creat 2011 um sheirbhísí lena ngabhann leas eacnamaíoch ginearálta (“SGEI”) (“Creat SGEI 2011”).
The Commission concluded that the aid granted for the provision of maritime cabotage transport services constituted existing aid, while the aid granted for the provision of international maritime transport services was compatible with the 2011 services of general economic interest (‘SGEI’) Framework (the ‘2011 SGEI Framework’).
#2242646
Dá mb’amhlaidh a aicmíodh an chabhair a dámhadh d’iar-Ghrúpa Tirrenia mar chabhair a bhí ann cheana, is dócha go mbeadh feidhm freisin ag an aicmiú sin maidir leis an gcúiteamh a íocadh as na hoibleagáidí seirbhíse poiblí a bhí oibrithe ag brainse gnó de chuid Siremar suas leis an bpríobháidiú, ar na cúiseanna seo a leanas:
If the aid awarded to the former Tirrenia Group were indeed classified as existing aid, this classification would likely also apply to the compensation paid for the public service obligations operated by the Siremar business branch up to the privatisation, for the following reasons:
#2242931
Go deimhin, foráiltear le hAirteagal 108(3) CFAE nach mór fógra a thabhairt don Choimisiún in am trátha maidir le pleananna chun cabhair atá ann cheana a dheonú nó a athrú agus nach bhféadfar iad a chur chun feidhme go dtí go mbeidh cinneadh críochnaitheach ann de bharr an nós imeachta.
Indeed, Article 108(3) TFEU provides that plans to grant or alter existing aid must be notified, in due time, to the Commission and may not be implemented until the procedure has led to a final decision.
#2242932
Measann Siremar in EA, dá measfaí an cúiteamh seirbhíse poiblí a dámhadh do Siremar go dtí 2008, agus an bhliain sin san áireamh, a bheith ina chabhair atá ann cheana ar bhonn Airteagal 4(3) den Rialachán Cabatáiste Muirí, go mbeadh feidhm aige sin freisin maidir leis an gcúiteamh a íocadh ar bhonn fhadú an Choinbhinsiúin tosaigh (aithris (237)).
Siremar in EA considers that if the public service compensation awarded to Siremar until 2008 included would be considered existing aid on the basis of Article 4(3) of the Maritime Cabotage Regulation, this would also apply to the compensation paid on the basis of the prolongation of the initial Convention (recital (237)).
#2242933
Tugann an Coimisiún dá aire go ndearnadh measúnú i gcinneadh 2020 maidir le Grúpa Tirrenia ar an gcúiteamh a íocadh le Siremar as oibleagáidí seirbhíse poiblí muirí a oibriú go dtí deireadh 2008 agus gur aicmíodh go deimhin í mar chabhair atá ann cheana (féach aithris (19)).
The Commission notes that the compensation paid to Siremar for the operation of maritime public service obligations until 2008 was assessed in the 2020 Tirrenia Group decision and was indeed classified as existing aid (see recital (19)).
#2243011
Baineann an toradh sin leis an tréimhse 1992-2008 agus ní chaitear amhras air le Breithiúnas 2009 lenar neamhníodh Cinneadh 2004, ná le Cinneadh Ghrúpa Tirrenia 2020, lenar measadh gur chabhair a bhí ann cheana é an cúiteamh seirbhíse poiblí a deonaíodh do Siremar.
This finding relates to the period 1992-2008 and is not put into question by the 2009 Judgment that annulled the 2004 Decision, nor by the 2020 Tirrenia Group decision, which concluded that the public service compensation granted to Siremar was existing aid.
#2244705
Ar an 28 Bealtaine 2018, ghlac an Coimisiún Cinneadh 2018 inar baineadh de thátal as ceithre bheart a ardaíodh i ngearán ITD nárbh aon chabhair ná cabhair a bhí ann cheana agus gur chabhair comhoiriúnach a bhí i gcúiteamh USO le SEK 1.683 billiún faoi Chreat na Seirbhísí ar mhaithe leis an Leas Eacnamaíoch Ginearálta (SGEI) (níor íocadh ach SEK 1.533 billiún faoi dheireadh).
On 28 May 2018, the Commission adopted the 2018 Decision in which it concluded that four measures raised in the ITD’s complaint constituted either no aid or existing aid and that the USO compensation of SEK 1,683 billion was compatible aid under the Services of General Economic Interest (SGEI) Framework (an amount of only SEK 1,533 billion was finally paid).
#2259142
Tháinig an Coimisiún ar an gconclúid gur chabhair a bhí ann cheana a bhí sa chabhair a deonaíodh chun seirbhísí iompair cabatáiste muirí a sholáthar, fad agus a bhí an chabhair a deonaíodh chun seirbhísí iompair mhuirí idirnáisiúnta a sholáthar comhoiriúnach le Creat 2011 um sheirbhís lena ngabhann leas eacnamaíoch ginearálta (“SGEI”) (“Creat SGEI 2011”).
The Commission concluded that the aid granted for the provision of maritime cabotage transport services constituted existing aid, while the aid granted for the provision of international maritime transport services was compatible with the 2011 services of general economic interest (‘SGEI’) Framework (the ‘2011 SGEI Framework’).
#2404942
Thairis sin, foráiltear le hAirteagal 108(3) CFAE nach mór fógra a thabhairt don Choimisiún in am trátha maidir le pleananna chun cabhair atá ann faoi láthair a dheonú nó a athrú agus nach bhféadfar iad a chur chun feidhme go dtí go mbeidh cinneadh críochnaitheach ann de bharr an nóis imeachta.
Furthermore, Article 108(3) TFEU provides that plans to grant or alter existing aid must be notified, in due time, to the Commission and may not be implemented until the procedure has led to a final decision.
#2404944
Ar na cúiseanna thuas, measann an Coimisiún gur cheart an cúiteamh seirbhíse poiblí a íocadh le Laziomar ar bhonn fhaduithe comhleanúnacha an Choinbhinsiúin tosaigh a mheas mar chabhair nua gan beann ar aicmiú an chúitimh a dámhadh do Caremar (an tráth sin) suas go dtí deireadh 2008 mar chabhair a bhí ann cheana.
For the above reasons, the Commission considers that regardless of the fact that the compensation awarded to Caremar (at the time) up until end 2008 has been classified as existing aid, the public service compensation paid to Laziomar on the basis of the successive prolongations of the initial Convention should be considered as new aid.
#2405579
Tháinig an Coimisiún ar an gconclúid gurbh ionann an chabhair a ceadaíodh chun seirbhísí iompair cabatáiste muirí agus cabhair atá ann cheana, fad agus a bhí formhór na cabhrach a deonaíodh chun seirbhísí iompair mhuirí idirnáisiúnta a sholáthar comhoiriúnach le Creat 2011 um sheirbhísí lena ngabhann leas eacnamaíoch ginearálta (“SGEI”) (“Creat SGEI 2011”).
The Commission concluded that the aid granted for the provision of maritime cabotage transport services constituted existing aid, while most aid granted for the provision of international maritime transport services was compatible with the 2011 services of general economic interest (‘SGEI’) Framework (the ‘2011 SGEI Framework’).
#2405601
Is ábhar do chinneadh ar leithligh de chuid an Choimisiúin é an measúnú ar an gcúiteamh sin agus cé acu is féidir, nó nach féidir, é a aicmiú mar chabhair atá ann faoi láthair ar bhonn Airteagal 4(3) den Rialachán maidir le Cabatáiste Muirí.
The assessment of that compensation, and whether or not it can be classified as existing aid on the basis of Article 4(3) of the Maritime Cabotage Regulation, is the subject of a separate Commission decision.
#2408064
Áitíonn an Phortaingéil freisin gur bunaíodh an ZFM in 1980, atá roimh aontachas na Portaingéile le CEE in 1986, agus nach ndearnadh aon athruithe suntasacha uirthi lasmuigh den chreat caibidlíochta maidir le cabhair atá ann cheana.
Portugal further argues that the ZFM was set up in 1980, which predates the accession of Portugal to the EEC in 1986, and it has not undergone any substantial changes outside the negotiation framework on existing aid.
#2408067
Sainmhínítear le hAirteagal 1(b)(i) de Rialachán (AE) 2015/1589 “an chabhair atá ann cheana” mar “gach cabhair a bhí ann roimh theacht i bhfeidhm CFAE sna Ballstáit faoi seach, is é sin le rá, scéimeanna cabhrach agus cabhair aonair a cuireadh i bhfeidhm roimh theacht i bhfeidhm CFAE sna Ballstáit faoi seach agus atá fós infheidhme i bhfeidhm sna Ballstáit sin”.
Article 1(b)(i) of Regulation (EU) 2015/1589 defines ‘existing aid’ as ‘all aid which existed prior to the entry into force of the TFEU in the respective Member States, that is to say, aid schemes and individual aid which were put into effect before, and are still applicable after, the entry into force of the TFEU in the respective Member States’.
#2408069
Ní fhoráiltear le hIonstraim Aontachais na Portaingéile gur cheart an ZFM a mheas mar chabhair atá ann cheana de réir bhrí Airteagal 88(1) de Chonradh CE (Airteagal 108(1) CFAE anois).
The Act of Accession of Portugal does not provide that the ZFM should be regarded as existing aid within the meaning of Article 88(1) of the EC Treaty (now Article 108(1) TFEU).
#3061834
(a) Ní mór do na Ballstáit, na scéimeanna cabhrach atá acu cheana a leasú, i gcás inar gá, chun go mbeidh na scéimeanna sin i gcomhréir le Roinn 7.1 de na treoirlínte seo laistigh de 12 mhí tar éis a bhfoilsithe in Iris Oifigiúil an Aontais Eorpaigh;
(a) Member States must amend, where necessary, their existing aid schemes in order to bring them in line with Section 7.1 of these Guidelines within 12 months after their publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
