The Commission further notes that, since the beginning of 2014, Ryanair has been operating from Brussels airport, which is developing in the low-cost segment.
Belgie bude Komisi informovat o vývoji vnitrostátních opatření přijatých s cílem vykonat toto rozhodnutí až do úplného navrácení podpor uvedených v článku 3.
Vueling was already operating from this airport.
Na pouhou žádost Komise předloží neprodleně informace o již přijatých a plánovaných opatřeních pro splnění tohoto rozhodnutí.
Competition between the two airports may therefore increase further in the future, as they are both likely to attract the same airlines and the same customer segments.
Rovněž poskytne podrobné informace o částkách podpory a úrocích, které již byly od příjemce získány zpět.
Based on this information, the Commission concludes that the aid has significantly distorted competition by reducing BSCA's operating costs through abnormally low concession fees.
Článek 7
These distortions were certainly limited in the initial years after the measures in question were granted, i.e. in 2002 and 2003, given that the investments had not been made in full at that stage and that Charleroi airport's traffic was still limited, but they have increased subsequently and are now very significant.
Toto rozhodnutí je určeno Belgickému království.
Conclusion on the compatibility of the aid granted to BSCA on the basis of Article 107(3) TFEU
V Bruselu dne 1. října 2014.
The Commission concludes that the aid granted to BSCA has contributed to regional economic development, but that it has had significant and increasing effects on the airports competing with Charleroi airport, and particularly on Brussels airport.
Za Komisi
The Commission notes that, if the aid had been granted after the aviation guidelines entered into force, i.e. after 4 April 2014, it could not have been declared compatible with the internal market.
místopředseda
Point 119 of the aviation guidelines in fact states that ‘in order to be eligible for operating aid, the annual traffic of the airport must not exceed 3 million passengers’.
S účinkem od 1. prosince 2009 se články 87 a 88 Smlouvy o ES staly články 107 a 108 Smlouvy o fungování Evropské unie („SFEU“).
This aid was granted before 4 April 2014 and point 119 of the aviation guidelines does not therefore apply.
Oba soubory ustanovení jsou v zásadě identické.
However, according to the aviation guidelines, the Commission must assess the unlawful operating aid granted to airports by taking account of the distortions of competition caused by this aid [232].
Pro účely tohoto rozhodnutí se případné odkazy na články 107 a 108 SFEU vykládají jako odkazy na články 87 a 88 Smlouvy o ES.
According to the Commission, this requirement means that it must give an opinion on the aid in question in the light, on the one hand, of its positive effects in terms of the objective of common interest pursued and, on the other hand, of its negative effects on competition and trade.
SFEU rovněž zavedla některé terminologické změny, jako je nahrazení pojmu „Společenství“ pojmem „Unie“, „společný trh“ pojmem „vnitřní trh“ a „Soud prvního stupně“ pojmem „Tribunál“.
In the present case, it has been established that the aid has had a significant positive effect on the economic development of Charleroi and its region, which may be recognised as an objective of common interest justifying operating aid, while also having negative effects, which have increased over time and become very significant.
Pojmy SFEU se použijí v celém tomto rozhodnutí.
In this instance, given that the negative effects of the aid, which were initially limited, have constantly increased over time until they have become too significant, the Commission takes the view that the Region-SOWAER should have, from a certain date, required BSCA to pay a concession fee in line with the level that would have been determined when the measures in question were granted, in 2002 and 2003, if the Region-SOWAER had acted towards BSCA as a market economy operator placing its infrastructure at BSCA's disposal with a view to profitability.
Úř. věst.
BSCA would therefore have benefited from operating aid in the form of an extra low concession fee up to the date in question, on a transitional basis, and not beyond.
C 248, 17.8.2012, s. 1.
The Commission takes the view that, in order to reduce the negative effects of the aid on competition and trade to an acceptable level, so that the aid is compatible with the internal market, this approach must be implemented a posteriori, in the form of (i) the recovery from BSCA of the aid amounts received after the date in question, and (ii) an adjustment to the methods for calculating the concession fee for the period after the adoption of this decision up to the expiry of the concession from which BSCA benefits, such that, over this period, BSCA pays the Region-SOWAER a concession fee in line with the level that would have been determined when the measures in question were granted, in 2002 and 2003, if the Region-SOWAER had acted towards BSCA as a market economy operator.
SG (2002) D/233141.
As the date in question must be determined by weighing up the positive effects on regional economic development and the negative effects on competition, it cannot be determined solely by applying a method of economic analysis, but necessarily requires the Commission to use its wide margin of discretion in terms of the compatibility of State aid with the internal market.
Úř. věst.
In this respect, the Commission notes that the entry into force of the aviation guidelines on 4 April 2014 is an important turning point in terms of public support for airports as, according to the aviation guidelines, from that date Member States may no longer grant new operating aid to airports with more than 3 million passengers.
C 18, 25.1.2003, s. 3.
The aim of said provision is clearly to limit, from 4 April 2014, the negative effects of operating aid granted to airports.
Úř. věst.
The Commission takes the view that this date also forms an appropriate benchmark in the present case, and that it can be regarded as the moment from which BSCA should have ceased to pay an extra low concession fee under the 2002 and 2003 measures.
L 137, 30.4.2004, s. 1.
With regard to the 2002 capital increase, in the light of the findings made in recital 638 and due to the fact that this measure was granted before 4 April 2014, the Commission takes the view that, if this measure does constitute State aid, it is compatible with the internal market.
Rozsudek ze dne 17. prosince 2008 ve věci T-196/04, Ryanair v.
In conclusion, the Commission takes the view that:
Komise, Sb. rozh.
the measures granted by Belgium to BSCA under the 2002 agreements and the 2003 investment decision constitute State aid compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU up to 3 April 2014 and State aid incompatible with the internal market from 4 April 2014,
2008, s. II-03646, EU:T:2008:585.
assuming that it does constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU, the capital increase in BSCA subscribed on 3 December 2002 by SOWAER is State aid compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.

Applicability of the limitation period to the aid granted to BSCA
Úř. věst.
Article 15 of the Procedural Regulation stipulates that the recovery of State aid shall be subject to a limitation period of 10 years.
C 99, 4.4.2014, s. 3.
The limitation period shall begin on the day on which the unlawful aid is awarded to the beneficiary.
Zpráva Belgie ze dne 24. února 2014.
According to Belgium, the subsidy paid by the Region to BSCA for certain services associated with the airport activities benefits from the limitation period stipulated by Article 15 of the Procedural Regulation.
Článek 3.2 úmluvy mezi regionem a společností BSCA.
Belgium asserts that this subsidy was granted on 9 July 1991, which was the date of conclusion of the Region/BSCA agreement and annexed schedule of conditions.
Podle článku 12 zadávacích podmínek je protipožární služba definována odkazem na standardy Mezinárodní organizace civilního letectví.
According to Belgium, since that date, notwithstanding the adoption of various provisions without any impact on the principle of compulsory compensation payable by the Region for these costs, the Region has been responsible for paying this subsidy.
Podle článků 12 a 19 zadávacích podmínek jsou údržbářské služby definovány jako „technická služba údržby budov, drah, okolí, pozemních komunikací atd.“ a rovněž jako „údržba pozemků, budov, vybavení budov a zařízení, která jsou zahrnuta do koncese nebo dána k dispozici, a to způsobem, aby neustále vyhovovala užívání, ke kterému jsou určena“.
Only a few non-economic services set out in Amendment No 6 of 15 January 2008 are apparently not covered by this limitation period.
Článek 10.1 úmluvy mezi regionem a společností BSCA.
First of all, the Commission notes that it considered in recital 415 that it must examine the subsidy for certain services associated with the airport activities in conjunction with the other economics of the concession (provision of the infrastructure and concession fee).
Podle článku 13.2 úmluvy mezi regionem a společností BSCA zůstává společnost BSCA odpovědna za úklid a údržbu oblasti svěřené koncesí.
Even if the subsidy paid by the Region for certain services associated with the airport activities may be examined separately from the SOWAER/BSCA agreement, the Commission refutes, however, the assessment according to which the measure granting this subsidy has not been substantially amended.
Musí rovněž zajišťovat všechny menší či větší opravy.
On the contrary, the Commission takes the view that each of the following three amendments has substantially amended the measure:
Dodatek 1 k úmluvě ale omezil odpovědnost společnosti BSCA pouze na velké opravy způsobené neprovedením neodkladné údržby.
Amendment No 3 of 29 March 2002
Článek 22 zadávacích podmínek, které tvoří přílohu k úmluvě mezi regionem a společností BSCA.
The Commission notes that, under Article 25 of the schedule of conditions annexed to the Region/BSCA agreement of 9 July 1991, the Region was to cover the cost of the fire and maintenance services for a transitional period only.
Článek 18 úmluvy mezi regionem a společností BSCA.
This transitional period was extended until 1 January 2000 under Amendment No 2 to the schedule of conditions annexed to the agreement.
Na základě výnosu ze dne 16. prosince 1999 o souhrnném rozpočtu výdajů Valonského regionu na rozpočtový rok 2000 a vyhlášky valonské vlády ze dne 27. září 2000, kterou se společnosti BSCA poskytuje dotace na provoz, jíž se mají pokrýt výdaje související s protipožární službou a údržbou letiště Charleroi za rok 2000.
For the years 2000 and 2001, subsidies for the ‘fire and maintenance’ costs were paid by the Region to BSCA on legal bases other than the Region/BSCA agreement [233], with the acts in question not committing the Region to pay the subsidies to BSCA beyond the years 2000 and 2001.
Na základě výnosu ze dne 14. prosince 2000 o souhrnném rozpočtu výdajů Valonského regionu na rozpočtový rok 2001 a vyhlášky valonské vlády ze dne 4. října 2001, kterou se společnosti BSCA poskytuje dotace na provoz, jíž se mají pokrýt výdaje související s protipožární službou a údržbou letiště Charleroi za rok 2001.
According to Belgium, the continuation of this payment was confirmed in a letter of 5 July 2001 sent by BSCA to the Walloon transport and facilities administration, detailing the main lines of the BSCA 2002 budget covering the costs of these services, following a telephone conversation during which, according to Belgium, the Region had confirmed that it would pay for these services for 2002.
Tato studie se týkala rozvoje letiště Charleroi-Bruxelles Sud ve střednědobém (5 roků) a dlouhodobém (20 roků) horizontu.
As indicated in recitals 71 and 72, Amendment No 3 of 29 March 2002 to the Region/BSCA agreement amended Article 3.2 of this agreement and provided that the Walloon Region would reimburse the costs (expenses and investments) inherent in the fire and maintenance services.
Odkazovala na projekt nového severního terminálu a obsahovala přesný popis navrhovaných investic.
Amendment No 3 also amended Article 25 of the schedule of conditions and provided that the concession-holder would present the concession authority with the budget for the fire and maintenance services and that it would keep a separate operating account that could at any time be analysed and checked by the concession authority.
Tato studie vyzdvihla možné mezery na trhu, jichž by letiště Charleroi mohlo využít, a zejména možnost vzniku nízkonákladové základny se zmíněním společnosti Ryanair.
The Commission takes the view that Amendment No 3 of 29 March 2002 to the Region/BSCA agreement substantially affected the measure.
Tato studie číselně vyjádřila investice, které budou nutné pro rozvoj letiště: systém letištních drah, vyvlastnění, sanace a různé inženýrské sítě, terénní úpravy, nový terminál, parkoviště pro cestující a soukromý příjezd k letišti, veřejný příjezd po silnici a další (pohonné hmoty, kontrolní věž, vozový park atd.).
Amendment No 3 in fact introduced a written undertaking on the part of the Region to cover the costs associated with the fire and maintenance services, when there was no longer any written undertaking on the part of the Region with regard to the costs incurred by BSCA from 1 January 2002.
Tato studie potvrdila tržní segment pro rozvoj letiště Charleroi, tj. nízkonákladové společnosti, regionální letecké společnosti a charterové letecké společnosti.
Moreover, Amendment No 3 amended Article 3.2 of the Region/BSCA agreement and provided that the Region would reimburse the costs (expenses and investments) inherent in the fire and maintenance services.
Tato studie potvrdila, že společnost Ryanair představuje se základnou 5 letadel příležitost rychlého rozvoje provozu v krátkodobém horizontu.
It also amended Article 25 of the schedule of conditions and provided that the concession-holder would present the concession authority with the budget for the fire and maintenance services and that it would keep a separate operating account that could at any time be analysed and checked by the concession authority.
Tato studie rovněž provedla analýzu technických podmínek souvisejících s příchodem leteckých společností Easyjet a Go a také regionálních a charterových leteckých společností.
In this respect, the Commission stresses that Amendment No 3 stipulated that this operating account would include the investment costs and/or investment depreciation costs, even though this had not previously been the case.
Tato technická omezení souvisela s nutností disponovat systémem ILS (Instrument landing system) kategorie III, aby bylo možno přistávat za snížené viditelnosti, a letiště tak mohlo přijímat letecké společnosti, které na něm udržují základnu letadel, a pravidelné letecké spoje.
Based on these points, the Commission takes the view that the subsidy paid by the Region to BSCA for certain services associated with the airport activities was introduced, or in any event substantially amended, by Amendment No 3 of 29 March 2002 to the Region/BSCA agreement.
V oné době původní verze projektu oblasti soustředění hospodářských činností s názvem „Aéropôle“ zasahovala mnohem jižněji, takže by znemožnila rozvoj letištní infrastruktury.
Amendment No 5 of 10 March 2006 to the Region/BSCA agreement
Tehdy se uvažovalo o finančním zásahu společnosti Société Régionale Wallonne du Transport (SRWT), od kterého se nakonec upustilo.
Through the following provisions, Amendment No 5 of 10 March 2006 to the Region/BSCA agreement substantially amended Amendment No 3:
Výše zmíněná zpráva rovněž uvádí, že „bude nutno upravit stávající dokumenty (úmluva o koncesi, zadávací podmínky a protokoly v příloze) podle nového způsobu, který bude zvolen pro financování investic“.
Under Article 3.2.2 of the Region/BSCA agreement, as amended by Amendment No 5, the costs incurred by BSCA for ‘the fire protection and ground traffic and airport site safety services’ were to be compensated by the Region, whereas previously the Region had compensated the costs incurred by BSCA for the ‘fire and maintenance’ services.
Předáno v příloze 19 dopisu Belgie ze dne 26. srpna 2003.
According to Belgium, this new wording aimed to define more precisely the costs assumed by the Region, but did not substantially alter the scope of the services covered.
Předáno v příloze 2 dopisu Belgie ze dne 24. února 2014.
However, the Commission notes that, even if the change in wording of the services for which BSCA receives compensation is ignored, the details of the costs covered under Article 25 of the schedule of conditions, as amended by Amendment No 5, differ in that they include certain costs that were not previously mentioned, namely ‘the ground traffic and airport site safety services include routine maintenance of the airport site, … minor surfacing work, routine maintenance and repair of the runway and accesses, operational maintenance and servicing of the general lighting and runway lighting, mowing services, rubber removal from the runway and its markings, snow clearance and any other services ensuring the safety of ground traffic, airport site and infrastructures, except for commercial areas of the airport zone’.
Článek 3.2.2 dodatku 3 k úmluvě mezi regionem a společností BSCA ze dne 29. března 2002.
The subsidy was capped, whereas it had not been previously.
Tento úkol zahrnuje i) sběr všech informací o pohybech letadel, ii) sběr různých dokumentů letadel a iii) plánování a správu parkování letadel.
This cap applied from the initial entry into force of Amendment No 5 and therefore had an impact on the amount of the subsidy paid by the Region to BSCA from the first year.
Navádění letadel až na parkoviště.
The amount of the subsidy had to be revised before July 2009 [234].
Úkoly v oblasti ochrany a bezpečnosti na letišti Charleroi byly svěřeny společnosti BSCA výnosem ze dne 19. prosince 2007, který se mění výnos ze dne 23. června 1994 o zřízení a provozování letišť spadajících do pravomoci Valonského regionu.
Based on these points, the Commission takes the view that the measure was substantially affected by the adoption of Amendment No 5 of 10 March 2006 to the Region/BSCA agreement.
Rovněž na základě tohoto výnosu pověřila společnost BSCA plněním bezpečnostních úkolů společnost BSCA-Security, akciovou společnost založenou za tímto účelem, jejíž kapitál je ze 49 % v držení společnosti BSCA a z 51 % v držení regionu.
Amendment No 6 of 15 January 2008 to the Region/BSCA agreement substantially amended Amendment No 5 by significantly extending the scope of the services for which the Region paid a subsidy to BSCA, as those services subsequently included flight tracking and recording, provisional flight planning, marshalling and security.
Údaj chráněný obchodním tajemstvím.
As set out in Section 6.1.1, the Commission takes the view that these services, except for the security services, constitute economic services.
Sambrinvest je subjekt rizikového kapitálu, který aktivně působí v oblasti Charleroi-Thuin.
The Commission therefore concludes that the subsidy paid by the Region to BSCA for certain services associated with the airport activities cannot be regarded as a measure having been continuously in force and not having been substantially amended since 1991.
Předmětem jeho činnosti je provázet a rozvíjet malé a střední podniky.
The payment of this subsidy is based on several new measures applicable in succession.
Až do roku 2012 držel ve společnosti Sambrinvest 50 % podíl Valonský region.
Those examined in this decision are: (a) Amendment No 3 of 29 March 2002 to the Region/BSCA agreement; (b) Amendment No 5 of 10 March 2006 to the Region/BSCA agreement; and (c) Amendment No 6 of 15 January 2008 to the Region/BSCA agreement.
Igretec sdružuje 68 obcí, zejména z provincie Hainaut.
Measures (a) to (c) cannot benefit from the 10-year limitation period as there were less than 10 years between the date when they were granted and 20 April 2011, which was the date when the Commission sent its first request for information to Belgium on the subject of the aid granted to BSCA.
Společnosti předsedá ministr-prezident Valonského regionu.
As stipulated by Article 15 of the Procedural Regulation, any action taken by the Commission or by a Member State, acting at the request of the Commission, with regard to the unlawful aid shall interrupt the limitation period.
Společnost Société Wallonne de Gestion et de Participation (Sogepa) je oblíbeným finančním nástrojem Valonského regionu při podporování podniků v reorganizaci.
The Commission therefore concludes that the limitation period laid down by Article 15 of the Procedural Regulation does not apply to the aid granted to BSCA and examined in this decision.
Zasahuje formou úvěrů nebo formou kapitálu a spravuje prostřednictvím úkolů, kterými ji vláda pověřuje, podíly, závazky, zálohy či zájmy, které má v těchto společnostech Valonský region či ona sama.
Applicability of the principle of legitimate expectations to the subsidy paid by the Region for certain services associated with the airport activities
Rozhodnutí ze dne 23. května 2001 s názvem „Développement des aéroports, mise en place d'un mécanisme financier et création d'une société spécialisée“ ( „Rozvoj letišť, zavedení finančního mechanismu a založení specializované společnosti“).
Article 14(1) of the Procedural Regulation stipulates that ‘The Commission shall not require recovery of the aid if this would be contrary to a general principle of Community law’.
Valonská vláda tímto rozhodnutím vyjadřuje svůj souhlas se stanovami společnosti SOWAER, jejím finančním plánem, jejími rozpočtovými prognózami a její správní strukturou.
In particular, the Commission cannot require recovery of aid that, although granted within the 10-year period defined in Article 15(1) of the Procedural Regulation, may be covered by the existence of a legitimate expectation — in the mind of the beneficiary of the aid — resulting from acts or positions taken by the Commission in the past.
Vyzývá společnost Sogepa, aby přistoupila k založení společnosti SOWAER, a stanoví, že „financování opatření v oblasti životního prostředí, s výjimkou izolování, bude posuzovat společnost SOWAER ve spolupráci s koncesionářskými společnostmi“.
As indicated in Section 5.4 of this decision, Belgium maintains that recovery of the subsidy paid by the Region for certain services associated with the airport activities would be contrary to the principle of legitimate expectations.
Dopisy belgických orgánů ze dne 21. září 2011 a 6. února 2014.
However, the Court of Justice has ruled that the beneficiary of unlawful aid may not in principle invoke a legitimate expectation [235].
Tato společnost byla v roce 2011 likvidována.
The beneficiary should in fact have checked that the aid granted had been notified to and approved by the Commission.
Tento program je stejný jako program uvedený v 41. bodě odůvodnění.
In this respect, the Commission notes that the aid granted to BSCA was not notified to the Commission.
Podle zprávy společnosti SOWAER valonské vládě ze dne 3. dubna 2003 se investiční program na základě této revize zvýšil z 93 na 150,8 milionu EUR, tj. zvýšení o 57,8 milionu EUR, z čehož:(a) 33 milionů se týkalo rozšíření terminálu pro cestující oproti původnímu plánu,(b) 3 miliony se týkaly druhé fáze výstavby kontrolní věže,(c) 2 miliony se týkaly programu ochrany a bezpečnosti,(d) 1,6 milionu se týkalo převzetí rozpočtového závazku společností SOWAER,(e) 1,5 milionu se týkalo aktualizace akvizic pozemků v okolí letiště,(f) 12 milionů se týkalo vytvoření rezerv na případné odpočty a opravy,(g) 4,8 milionu se týkalo položky označené jako „výchylky“.
Absence of precise assurances
Viz zpráva Belgie ze dne 6. února 2014.
Moreover, as clarified by the Court of Justice [236], a person may not plead infringement of the principle of legitimate expectations ‘unless he has been given precise assurances by the administration’.
