Table 22 summarises the incremental profits expected to accrue to So.Ge.A.AL from the agreements with Air Vallée and bmibaby.
Kromě koncesního poplatku hrazeného za provozování letiště platila společnost So.Ge.A.AL od roku 2005 rovněž „bezpečnostní koncesní poplatek“ za právo poskytovat bezpečnostní služby na letišti a účtovat za tyto služby poplatky.
The NPVs of the incremental profits that So.Ge.A.AL could have expected from the agreements with Air Vallée and bmibaby amount to EUR 3399 and EUR 25330 respectively [130].

According to Italy the estimates of the NPV are relatively low because the agreements concluded between So.Ge.A.AL, Air Vallée and bmibaby were expected to cover a period of one year (or less than one year) only.

The Commission notes that the approach taken by Italy in estimating the passenger numbers, and calculating the expected incremental aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues, and incremental costs of the agreements concluded by So.Ge.A.AL with Air Italy, Air Vallée and bmibaby is the same as the one employed for the agreements with the other carriers.
Dopis Itálie ze dne 31. srpna 2011, přílohy 7 a 23.
Consequently, the Commission concludes that those agreements were expected to be profitable for So.Ge.A.AL at the time they were signed.

The economic advantage identified in recital 534 was granted on a selective basis, as only Meridiana and Germanwings benefited from it.
Dopis Itálie ze dne 22. října 2012.
The advantage derives from airport services and marketing agreements negotiated individually by the two carriers which have not been concluded with the other carriers operating at the airport under the same terms.
Tato definice byla zavedena v § 3 odst. 8 legislativního nařízení č. 163 ze dne 12. dubna 2006 („Codice dei contratti pubblici relativi ai lavori, servizi e furniture“).
Indeed the Commission notes that all agreements subject to the investigation in this case are substantially different and result in different cash flows between So.Ge.A.A.AL and the carriers operating from Alghero airport.
Dopis Itálie ze dne 8. května 2014.
Distortion of competition and effect on trade
Věc Aéroports de Paris v.
A measure granted by a State is considered to distort or to threaten to distort competition when it is liable to improve the competitive position of the recipient compared to other undertakings with which it competes [131].
Komise, T-128/89, Recueil 2000, s. II-3929.
For all practical purposes, a distortion of competition can thus be assumed as soon as a State grants a financial advantage to an undertaking in a liberalised sector where there is (at least potential) competition.
Dopis Itálie ze dne 18. února 2014, příloha A.
The case law of the European Courts has established that any grant of aid to an undertaking exercising its activities in the internal market can be liable to affect trade between Member States [132].
Informace, na které se vztahuje profesní tajemství.
Since the entry into force of the third package on the liberalisation of air transport on 1 January 1993 [133], air carriers can freely operate flights on intra-European connections.
Dopis Itálie ze dne 18. února 2014.
As the Court of Justice observed,
Rozsudek ve věci Aéroports de Paris, citováno výše.
‘where an undertaking operates in a sector in which […] producers from various Member States compete, any aid which it may receive from the public authorities is liable to affect trade between the Member States and impair competition, inasmuch as its continuing presence on the market prevents competitors from increasing their market share and reduces their chances of increasing exports.’ [134].(550) The Commission has found that So.Ge.A.AL granted a selective advantage to Germanwings and Meridiana.
Viz rovněž pokyny Komise k použití článků 92 a 93 Smlouvy o ES a článku 61 Dohody o EHP na státní podporu v oblasti letectví, Úř. věst.
Those airlines are active on a liberalised, competitive market and the advantage they received was liable to improve their competitive position on the market for air transport services to/from Alghero airport to the detriment of other Union air carriers.
C 350, 10.12.1994, s. 5.
In this light, the Commission finds that the advantage granted to Germanwings and Meridiana is liable to distort competition and affect trade between Member States.
Viz rozhodnutí Komise ze dne 21. března 2012 ve věci C76/2002, Avantages consentis par la Région Wallonne et Brussels South Charleroi Airport à la companie aérienne Ryanair a rozhodnutí Komise ze dne 25. dubna 2012 ve věci SA.33961, Plainte Air France – Aéroport de Nîmes.
Conclusion on the agreements with the airlines
Viz rozsudek ze dne 18. března 1997 ve věci Cali & Figli/Servizi ecologici porto di Genova, C-343/95, Recueil 1997, s. I-1547; rozhodnutí Komise ze dne 19. března 2003 ve věci N309/2002, Bezpečnost letectví – kompenzace nákladů po útocích 11. září 2001, a rozhodnutí Komise ze dne 16. října 2002 ve věci N438/2002, Subvence správ přístavů na výkon úkolů podřízených veřejné moci.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that the measures adopted by So.Ge.A.AL pursuant to the 2010 agreement with Meridiana and the 2007 agreement with Germanwings involved State aid to those airlines, amounting to approximately EUR 175174 and EUR 140482, respectively.
Úř. věst.
Since the aid involved in each of these agreements was put into effect without being authorised by the Commission, it constitutes unlawful State aid.
C 244, 1.10.2004, s. 2.
Compatibility of aid to the airlines
Nařízení Rady (ES) č. 659/1999 ze dne 22. března 1999, kterým se stanoví prováděcí pravidla k článku 108 Smlouvy o fungování Evropské unie (Úř. věst.
As regards start-up aid, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines state that:
L 83, 27.3.1999, s. 1).
‘the Commission will apply the principles set out in these guidelines to all notified start-up aid measure in respect of which it is called upon to take a decision from 4 April 2014, even where the measures were notified prior that date.
Stanovená v pokynech pro leteckou dopravu z roku 2014 jako oblast v okruhu 100 kilometrů nebo přibližně 60 minut doby strávené na cestě autem, autobusem, vlakem nebo vysokorychlostním vlakem.
In accordance with the Commission notice on the determination of the applicable rules for the assessment of unlawful State aid, the Commission will apply to unlawful start-up aid to airlines the rules in force at the time when the aid was granted.
Dne 10. května 1995 byla společnosti So.Ge.A.AL udělena první „částečná“ koncese na poskytování odbavovacích služeb na základě smluv podepsaných s leteckými dopravci.
Accordingly, it will not apply the principles set out in these guidelines in the case of unlawful start-up aid to airlines granted before 4 April 2014.’
Věc Altmark Trans a Regierungspräsidium Magdeburg, C-280/00, Recueil 2003, s. I-7747.
The 2005 Aviation Guidelines, in turn, stipulate that:
Rozhodnutí Komise 2005/842/ES ze dne 28. listopadu 2005 o použití čl. 86 odst. 2 Smlouvy o ES na státní podporu ve formě vyrovnávací platby za závazek veřejné služby poskytované určitým podnikům pověřeným poskytováním služeb obecného hospodářského zájmu (Úř. věst.
‘the Commission will assess the compatibility of […] start-up aid granted without its authorisation and which therefore infringes Article 88(3) of the Treaty [now Article 108(3) of the Treaty], on the basis of these guidelines if payment of the aid started after the guidelines were published in the Official Journal of the European Union.’
L 312, 29.11.2005, s. 67).
As the agreements with Meridiana and Germanwings were concluded after the publication of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines in the Official Journal on 9 December 2005, those guidelines constitute the applicable legal basis for the assessment of their compatibility with the internal market.
Nařízení Evropského parlamentu a Rady (ES) č. 1008/2008 ze dne 24. září 2008 o společných pravidlech pro provozování leteckých služeb ve Společenství (Úř. věst.
Compatibility assessment pursuant to 2005 Aviation Guidelines
L 293, 31.10.2008, s. 3).
The 2005 Aviation Guidelines set out in point 79 several conditions to be complied with in order for start-up aid to be found compatible with the internal market under Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Dopis společnosti Ryanair ze dne 22. července 2011.
The aid is paid to air carriers with a valid operating licence issued by a Member State pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2407/92
Dopis společnosti Ryanair ze dne 20. prosince 2013.
In this case the beneficiaries are air carriers as defined by Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 [135].
Dopis společnosti Ryanair ze dne 15. září 2009.
The first condition set forth by the 2005 Aviation Guidelines is therefore fulfilled.
Dopis společnosti Ryanair ze dne 15. prosince 2009.
The aid is paid for routes linking a regional airport in category C or D to another EU airport
Dopisy společnosti Ryanair ze dne 12. března 2013 a 15. prosince 2009.
As of 2005 Alghero airport qualified as a category C regional airport pursuant to the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.

The aid will apply only to the opening of new routes or new schedules, which will lead to an increase in the net volume of passengers.
Zpráva společnosti Oxera „Posouzení zásady tržně jednajícího hospodářského subjektu, letiště Alghero“ ( Economic MEOP assessment, Alghero Airport), vyhotovená pro společnost Ryanair, 22. července 2011.
This aid must not encourage traffic simply to be transferred from one airline or company to another.

In particular, it must not lead to a relocation of traffic which is unjustified with regard to the frequency and viability of existing services leaving from another airport in the same city, the same conurbation [136] or the same airport system [137], which serve the same or a similar destination under the same criteria
Věc Höfner a Elser, C-41/90, Recueil 1991, s. I-1979, bod 21; věc Poucet a Pistre v.
The aid was granted to encourage airlines to launch new routes from Alghero airport to one or more Union destinations, thereby leading to an increase in the net volume of passengers.
AGF a Cancava, C-160/91, Recueil 1993, s. I-637, bod 17; věc Komise v.
There is no other airport in the same city or conurbation.
Itálie, C-35/96, Recueil 1998, s. I-3851, bod 36.
In addition, none of the routes in question was served by a high-speed rail service.
Věc Mitteldeutsche Flughafen a Flughafen Leipzig-Halle v.
The third condition set forth by the 2005 Aviation Guidelines is thus fulfilled.
Komise, C-288/11 P, Sb. rozh.
The route receiving the aid must ultimately prove profitable, namely it must at least cover its costs, without public funding.
2012, dosud nezveřejněno; viz rovněž rozsudek ve věci Aéroports de Paris v.
For this reason start-up aid must be degressive and of limited duration
Komise, T-128/89, Recueil 2000, s. II-3929, potvrzený rozsudkem ve věci Aéroports de Paris v.
Aid to Germanwings and Meridiana was limited to the duration of the agreements concluded with So.Ge.A.AL, namely one and three years respectively However, no condition was imposed in the agreements by which the routes operated by the carriers from Alghero airport had to be ultimately profitable on a stand-alone basis.
Komise, C-82/01P, Recueil 2002, s. I-9297, a věc Ryanair v.
The Commission further notes that, while the amount of aid received by Germanwings as listed in Table 19 was degressive, Germanwings ceased operations at Alghero airport in 2007 and therefore never operated without public funding.
Komise, T-196/04, Sb. rozh.
The amount of aid must be strictly linked to eligible costs
2008, s. II-3643.
Eligible costs are defined in the 2005 Aviation Guidelines as the ‘additional start-up costs incurred in launching the new route or frequency […] which the air operator will not have to bear once it is up and running’.
Věci Poucet v.
Italy has not claimed that the financing to Germanwings and Meridiana was limited to cover eligible costs and that regular operating costs would not be subsidised.
AGV a Pistre v.
This condition is therefore not complied with.
Cancave, C-159/91 a C-160/91, Recueil 1993, s. I-637.
The degressive aid may be granted for a maximum period of three years.
Pokyny pro leteckou dopravu z roku 2014, bod 29.
The amount of aid in any one year may not exceed 50 % of total eligible costs for that year and total aid may not exceed an average of 30 % of eligible costs
Věc SAT Fluggesellschaft v.
The agreements with the airlines in question make no reference to the costs of the airlines and do not lay down that the aid must be limited to a certain percentage of the eligible costs.
Eurocontrol, C-364/92, Recueil 1994, s. I-43; pokyny pro leteckou dopravu z roku 2014, bod 34.
The Commission therefore finds that this condition is not fulfilled.
Rozhodnutí Komise ze dne 19. března 2003 ve věci N 309/2002, citováno výše.
The period during which start-up aid is granted to an airline must be substantially less than the period during which the airline undertakes to operate from the airport in question
Viz zejména věc SAT Fluggesellschaft v.
The Commission notes that no condition was imposed that the routes opened by the carriers be viable after the period when their operation is subsidised.
Eurocontrol, C-364/92, Recueil 1994, s. I-43, bod 30, a věc Selex Sistemi Integrati v.
The aid payments must be linked to the net development of the number of passengers transported
Komise, C-113/07 P, Sb. rozh.
The Commission notes that there is a clear link between the number of passengers carried and the amount of aid.
2009, s. I-2207, bod 71; pokyny pro leteckou dopravu z roku 2014, bod 35.
In particular, the agreements with Germanwings and Meridiana set out success fees to be paid by So.Ge.A.AL if the airlines met the stipulated traffic targets.
Viz věc Wolfgang Heiser v.
Any public body which plans to grant start-up aid to an airline for a new route, whether or not via an airport, must make its plans public in good time and with adequate publicity to enable all interested airlines to offer their services.
Finanzamt Innsbruck, C-172/03, Sb. rozh.
The notification must in particular include the description of the route as well as the objective criteria in terms of the amount and the duration of the aid
2005, s. I-01627, bod 36, a judikatura citovaná v uvedeném rozsudku.
In the course of the investigation Italy claimed that the airport's intention to conclude agreements with airlines interested in opening new routes departing from Alghero airport had been sufficiently advertised among the potential interested carriers.
Pokyny pro leteckou dopravu z roku 2014, bod 37.
However, no evidence was provided in that respect.
Dopis Itálie ze dne 10. června 2014, příloha 22.
In particular, no indication exists that Alghero airport made its intention to grant aid to the airlines, and the conditions of the granting of such aid, known in good time and with adequate publicity.
Pokyny pro leteckou dopravu z roku 2014, bod 37.
The procedure for selection of the air carriers was therefore not sufficiently clear to ensure the non-discriminatory treatment of applicants of interested carriers.
Věc Francie v.
When submitting its application, any airline which proposes a service to a public body offering to grant start-up aid must provide a business plan showing, over a substantial period, the viability of the route after the aid has expired.
Komise (Stardust Marine), C-482/99, Recueil 2002, s. I-4397.
The public body should also carry out an analysis of the impact of the new route on competing routes prior to granting start-up aid
Spojené věci Nord-Pas-de-Calais, T-267/08 a T-279/08, Sb. rozh.
Neither Italy nor interested parties have provided evidence in the investigation that carriers had to provide a business plan for the routes in question beforehand to demonstrate the viability of the route in question on a standalone basis after a certain period.

In addition, such aid cannot be granted when access to a route has been reserved for a single carrier under Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92, and in particular paragraph 1(d) of that Article.
Věc Itálie v.
Also, in accordance with the rules of proportionality, such aid cannot be combined with other aid granted to cover the same costs, including aid paid in another State

RECOVERY
Úř. věst.
In accordance with the Treaty and the Court of Justice's established case-law, the Commission is competent to decide that the Member State concerned must abolish or alter aid [138] when it has found that it is incompatible with the internal market.
C 119, 22.5.2002, s. 22.
The Court has also consistently held that the obligation on a State to abolish aid regarded by the Commission as being incompatible with the internal market is designed to re-establish the previously existing situation [139].
Bod 25 podbod 22 pokynů pro leteckou dopravu z roku 2014.
In that context, the Court has stated that that objective is attained once the recipient has repaid the amounts granted by way of unlawful aid, thus forfeiting the advantage which it had enjoyed over its competitors on the market, and the situation prior to the payment of the aid is restored [140].
