Oplysningerne i anmeldelsen
the information given in the notification
Anmeldelsen indeholder på side 40 i CO-formularen en oversigt over Transavias og Martinairs charterdestinationer i Middelhavsområdet i sommersæsonen 1998.
The notification contains on page 40 of Form CO a table with a listing of Transavia's and Martinair's charter destinations to the Mediterranean for the summer season 1998.
Oversigten viser og sammenligner destinationerne land for land.
The table is in the form of a synopsis comparing the destinations for each country.
Udtrykket »Middelhavslande« er på et tidligere sted i anmeldelsen [8] defineret som Cypern, Egypten, Frankrig, Israel, Malta, Spanien, Italien, Portugal, Grækenland, Tyrkiet, Tunesien og Marokko.
The term ‘Mediterranean countries’ is defined earlier in the notification [8] as comprising Cyprus, Egypt, France, Israel, Malta, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Tunisia, and Morocco.
Der er angivet 12 destinationer for Martinair og 46 destinationer for Transavia.
There are 12 destinations listed for Martinair and 46 destinations listed for Transavia.
Ifølge oversigten overlapper de to selskaber kun hinanden på 6 destinationer (Ibiza, Korfu, Kos, Antalya, Dalaman og Monastir).
According to the table there is an overlap for only six destinations (Ibiza, Corfu, Kos, Antalya, Dalaman and Monastir).
På side 39 i anmeldelsen, dvs. før oversigten, oplyses det, at Transavias og Martinairs aktiviteter i vid udstrækning supplerer hinanden: »Transavias og Martinairs charterflyvninger supplerer i vid udstrækning hinanden.
The table is preceded on page 39 by the statement that Transavia's and Martinair's operations are largely complementary:
Martinair benytter store fly (B747, MD-11, B767) på blot nogle få Middelhavsruter.
‘Transavia's and Martinair's charter services are to a large extend complementary.
Transavia flyver med mindre fly (B757) til forskellige (andre) destinationer, der for de flestes vedkommende ikke er store nok til at kunne modtage Martinairs fly.«»Transavia's and Martinair's charter services are to a large extend complementary.
Martinair operates large aeroplanes (B747, MD-11, B767) on just a few Mediterranean destinations.
Martinair operates large aeroplanes (B747, MD-11, B767) on just a few Mediterranean destinations. Transavia operates smaller aeroplanes (B757) on various (other) destinations, most of which — due to their size — can not be served by Martinair's planes.«
Transavia operates smaller aeroplanes (B757) on various (other) destinations, most of which — due to their size — can not be served by Martinair's planes.’

Urigtige oplysninger om Transavias charterdestinationer
incorrectness of the information on Transavia charter destinations
Under undersøgelserne kom det frem, at Transavia havde charterflyvninger til mindst 10 andre såkaldte Middelhavsdestinationer i 1998, nemlig Alicante, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Faro, Funchal, Rhodos, Heraklion og Djerba, som ikke var nævnt i oversigten.
In the investigation it became apparent that at least 10 further so-called Mediterranean destinations, namely Alicante, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Faro, Funchal, Rhodes, Heraklion and Djerba were served by Transavia charter flights in 1998 and were not mentioned in the table.
Det fremgår af en fartplan for Transavia, som blev indsendt som svar på en begæring om oplysninger [9].
That information was contained in a Transavia timetable submitted in response to a request for information [9].
Med undtagelse af Alicante, Funchal, Rhodos og Djerba blev alle disse destinationer også befløjet af Martinair på charterbasis.
With the exception of Alicante, Funchal, Rhodes and Djerba, these are all destinations which are also served by Martinair charter flights.
Alle Martinairs destinationer beflyves således også af Transavia, hvilket betyder, at der i realiteten er fuldstændig overlapning mellem Transavias og Martinairs destinationer.
Therefore, all Martinair destinations are also served by Transavia, which means that in reality there is a complete overlap between Transavia and Martinair destinations.
De manglende destinationer tæller desuden flere af de vigtigste destinationer for ferierejsende og for Transavia og Martinair.
Moreover, the missing destinations include several of the most important ones for holiday customers and for Transavia and Martinair.
Eksempelvis er Spanien langt den mest populære destination, og de manglende destinationer i Spanien og på de spanske øer omfatter nogle af de vigtigste turistlufthavne i området.
For example, Spain is by a significant margin the most popular country of destination, and the missing destinations in Spain and its islands include some of the most important tourist airports there.
Oplysninger om Transavias ruteflyvninger til Middelhavsdestinationer
Information on scheduled services of Transavia to Mediterranean destinations
Oplysningerne i anmeldelsen
information given in the notification
Intetsteds i anmeldelsen nævner KLM, at Transavia har et stort antal ruteflyvninger til feriemålene i Middelhavsområdet, og at Transavia sælger pladser på disse flyvninger til rejsearrangører.
Nowhere in the notification did KLM state that Transavia has substantial scheduled operations to Mediterranean holiday destinations and that it sells seats on these flights to package tour operators.
Afsnit 6 i anmeldelsen bærer overskriften »Markedsdefinitioner«»Market definitions«. Under overskriften »I.
Section 6 of the notification is entitled ‘Market definitions’.
Berørte markeder«»I.
Under the heading ‘I.
European (inclusive) charter market« [10], at der ikke findes noget berørt marked grundet parternes lille markedsandel ([…] [11]%) [12].
European (inclusive) charter market’ [10] that there is no affected market due to the small market share ([…] (*) %) [11] of the parties [12]. Although KLM consequently claims that the market for charter flights is not an affected market it nevertheless states that it describes the market as if it were an affected market: ‘However, in order to provide the Commission with relevant information they will describe this market as if it were an affected market.’
Markedet beskrives derpå på side 26-41 uden yderligere overskrifter.
The description is then given on pages 26 to 41 of the notification without any further headings.
Produktmarkedet defineres således:
The product market is defined as follows:
I anmeldelsen omtales dette marked som »chartermarkedet«, der adskiller sig fra markederne for ruteflyvninger.
The notification refers to this market as the ‘charter market’ which can be distinguished from markets concerning scheduled air transport.
Forskellene mellem charterflyvninger og ruteflyvninger beskrives således i anmeldelsen:
The differences between charter flights and scheduled flights are set out as follows:
»Chartermarkedet er et marked, der kan adskilles fra markederne for ruteflyvninger til disse destinationer.
‘This charter market is a market that can be distinguished from markets concerning scheduled air transport to these destinations.
De køber et (mindste)antal pladser på de chartrede fly, hvilket kaldes en kvote (»allotment«).
These seats are sold as part of an inclusive tour to passengers by tour operators and their agents for their own account.
Rejsearrangørerne eller deres agenter sælger for egen regning disse pladser til passagererne som en del af en pakkerejse.
This makes this service substantially different from scheduled flights.’
Dette kapitel indeholder ingen oplysninger om, at Transavia har ruteflyvninger til destinationer i Middelhavsområdet, og at selskabet på disse flyvninger sælger pladser til rejsearrangører, som garanteres af rejsearrangøren og integreres i pakkerejser.
There is no statement in this chapter that Transavia operates scheduled flights to Mediterranean destinations and sells seats on those flights to tour operators which are guaranteed by the tour operator and integrated into package tours.
De dokumenter, der var medsendt anmeldelsen, omfattede ikke kortet over Transavias destinationer eller den fartplan, der er nævnt i betragtning 10.
Neither the map with Transavia destinations nor the timetable referred to in paragraph 10 were contained in the notified documents.
Denne oplysning er ikke opgivet som en oplysning om ruteflyvninger, men som en oplysning om deltagelse i KLM’s bonusprogram [18].
This information was not included as information on scheduled flights but as information on participation in the KLM frequent flyer scheme [18].
Under overskriften »II. Markeder, som er beslægtet med de berørte markeder, jf. afsnit III«»II.
Under the heading ‘II.
Markets related to affected markets within the meaning of Section III« er gengivet ordlyden af punkt 6.2 i CO-formularen: »Beskriv de relevante produktmarkeder og de relevante geografiske markeder, der berøres af den anmeldte transaktion, og som er nært beslægtede med de berørte markeder (markeder i tidligere eller senere omsætningsled eller tilgrænsende markeder i samme omsætningsled), på hvilke en af fusionsparterne er aktiv, og som ikke selv er berørte markeder, jf. afsnit III«.
Markets related to affected markets within the meaning of Section III.’ is printed the text of Question 6.2 of Form CO: Describe the relevant product and geographic markets concerned by the notified operation, which are closely related to the affected market(s) (in upstream, downstream and horizontal neighbouring markets), where any of the parties to the concentration are active and which are not themselves affected markets within the meaning of Section III.
Hvad dette punkt angår, forklarer KLM ganske kort, at KLM og Martinair hver især er ikke-kontrollerende medejere af en rejsearrangør, og at de har en andel i et edb-reservationssystem.
In response to this KLM briefly explains that KLM and Martinair each have a non-controlling participation in a tour operator and that KLM has a share in a computer reservation system.
Anmeldelsen fortsætter:
The notification continues:
»Martinair har desuden charterflyvninger til andre destinationer (f.eks. Caribien).
‘In addition, Martinair has charter flight operations to other destinations (e.g. Caribbean).
KLM er kun aktiv på det europæiske chartermarked gennem datterselskabet Transavia.
KLM is only active in the European charter market through its subsidiary Transavia. KLM and Martinair have scheduled flights to various other destinations.’
Dette kapitel indeholder ingen oplysninger om, at Transavia udbyder ruteflyvninger til destinationer i Middelhavsområdet.
There is no statement in this chapter that Transavia is operating scheduled flights to Mediterranean destinations. The only statement in this chapter concerning Transavia is: ‘KLM is only active in the European charter market through its subsidiary Transavia.’
Vildledende eller urigtige oplysninger om Transavias ruteflyvninger
misleading or incorrect character of the information provided on the scheduled services of Transavia
De efterfølgende undersøgelser i sagen viste, at Transavia havde et betydeligt antal ruteflyvninger til destinationer i Middelhavsområdet, og at det solgte pladser på disse flyvninger til rejsearrangører til inkorporering i pakkerejser.
In the further investigation of the case it became apparent that Transavia had substantial scheduled operations to Mediterranean destinations and that it sold seats on those flights to tour operators which integrated those seats into package tours.
Som svar på en begæring om oplysninger [21] udtalte KLM i et brev af 9. september 1998, at Transavia havde ruteflyvninger til Malaga, Alicante, Barcelona, Casablanca, Djerba, Faro, Funchal, Heraklion, Lissabon, Las Palmas, Malta, Nice, Palma de Mallorca og Tenerifa (sammenlagt […]* one way-passagerer i 1997).
In response to a request for information [21], KLM stated in a letter of 9 September 1998 that Transavia had scheduled operations to Malaga, Alicante, Barcelona, Casablanca, Djerba, Faro, Funchal, Heraklion, Lisbon, Las Palmas, Malta, Nice, Palma de Mallorca, Tenerife (altogether […] (*) one-way passengers in 1997).
Denne situation har ikke ændret sig væsentligt siden da, og Transavia udbyder fortsat et betydeligt antal ruteflyvninger til destinationer i Middelhavsområdet.
This situation has not changed substantially since then; Transavia continued to have substantial scheduled operations to Mediterranean destinations.
De fleste af disse destinationer beflyves også af Transavia på charterbasis.
Most of those destinations are also served by Transavia charter flights.
I KLM’s brev nævnes intet om, at der sælges pladser på disse rutefly til rejsearrangører.
In KLM's letter there is no statement that seats on those scheduled flights are sold to tour operators.
I anmeldelsen fra december 1998 udtalte KLM følgende: »Virkeligheden er dog sjældent sort og hvid, og grænsen mellem rute- og charterflyvninger befinder sig i en gråzone.
In the notification of December 1998 KLM stated: ‘Reality, however, is seldom black and white, the border line between scheduled and charter services is situated in a grey area. Guaranteed seats sold on scheduled flights to tour operators on routes to popular holiday destinations in the Mediterranean, come close to similar services on charter flights.’
Med udgangspunkt i de indsendte oplysninger kan det beregnes, at ud af de […]* [26] passagerer, som Transavia [27] transporterede med rutefly til destinationer i Middelhavsområdet [28] i sommersæsonen 1997 og vintersæsonen 1997/98, rejste i alt […]* [29] på pladser, som var blevet solgt til rejsearrangører på garanteret basis, og […]* rejste på pladser, som var blevet solgt til rejsearrangører uden nogen garanti [30].
From the information submitted it can be calculated that out of […] (*) [26] passengers transported by Transavia [27] on scheduled flights to Mediterranean destinations [28] in the season summer 1997 and in winter 1997/1998 altogether […] (*) [29] seats were sold to tour operators on a guaranteed basis and […] (*) seats were sold to tour operators on a non guaranteed basis [30].
Til visse destinationer rejser hovedparten af passagererne på pladser, som er blevet solgt til rejsearrangører [31].
For certain destinations the majority of seats for all passengers transported [31] is sold to tour operators.
PARTERNES REAKTION PÅ KLAGEPUNKTSMEDDELELSEN OG KOMMISSIONENS VURDERING HERAF
RESPONSE TO THE STATEMENT AND THE COMMISSION's EVALUATION THEREOF
Oplysninger om Transavias charterdestinationer
Information on Transavia Charter Destinations
I sit svar på Kommissionens klagepunktsmeddelelse beskriver KLM den under nr. 10 omhandlede udeladelse som en »administrativ fejl«.
In responding to the Commission's statement of objections, KLM describes the omission of the destinations referred to in paragraph 10 as an ‘administrative error’.
Rutedestinationerne er markeret med en gul prik, mens charterdestinationerne er markeret med en rød prik.
Scheduled destinations are marked with a yellow dot and charter destinations are marked with a red dot.
Destinationer, der beflyves af både rutefly og charterfly, er imidlertid også markeret med en gul prik.
The destinations which are reached both by charter and by scheduled flights are however also marked with a yellow dot.
Det drejer sig om Alicante, Las Palmas, Tenerifa, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Faro, Funchal, Rhodos, Heraklion og Djerba.
These are Alicante, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Faro, Funchal, Rhodes, Heraklion and Djerba.
KLM anfører, at den ukorrekte markering af disse destinationer i Transavias in-flight magazine er årsagen til, at disse destinationer ikke blev nævnt som charterdestinationer.
KLM states that the incorrect designation of those destinations in the in-flight magazine is the reason why they were not mentioned as charter destinations.
KLM henviser også til en undersøgelse foretaget af SH&E, der var bilagt anmeldelsen, og som ifølge KLM klart viser, at Transavia også beflyver andre charterdestinationer.
KLM also refers to a study by SH&E annexed to the notification which, it claims, makes it clear that Transavia is serving further charter destinations.
KLM mener, at det burde have været klart for enhver, der gennemgik anmeldelsen og bilagene, at forskellen mellem oversigten i anmeldelsen og oversigterne i bilagene vedrørende de forudgående år skyldtes en fejl, og at enhver nærlæsning af anmeldelsen omgående måtte give anledning til spørgsmål fra Kommissionens side.
KLM states it should have been evident to anyone examining the notification and the annexes that the difference between the table in the notification and the tables in the annexes for the previous years was due to an error and that any closer study of the notification had rightly prompted questions on the part of the Commission.
Anmeldelsen indeholder i bilag X en oversigt over KLM’s og Martinairs destinationer, men ingen oversigt over Transavias destinationer.
The notification contains in Annex X a listing of KLM's and Martinair's destinations, but no listing of Transavia's destinations.
De anmeldte dokumenter omfattede ikke noget kort over Transavias destinationer og heller ikke Transavias ovennævnte fartplan.
The map with Transavia destinations and the Transavia timetable referred to in paragraph 10 was not part of the notified documents.
Bilag VIII til anmeldelsen indeholder SH&E-undersøgelsen fra juni 1998: »The European Charter Market — An analysis in relation to KLM’s acquisition of the 50 % Nedlloyd stake in Martinair«.
Annex VIII of the notification contains the SH&E study of June 1998: ‘The European Charter Market — An analysis in relation to KLM's acquisition of the 50 % Nedlloyd stake in Martinair’.
Undersøgelsen fylder 60 tekstsider.
The study has 60 pages of text.
Bilag II til undersøgelsen (»Non-scheduled passengers from Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands and the UK by Mediterranean destination and carrier«) indeholder oversigter for årene 1993, 1995 og 1997, hvori er angivet alle de destinationer i Middelhavsområdet, hvortil der var charterflyvninger fra Schiphol. For hver destination indeholder oversigterne også oplysninger om det samlede antal passagerer, antallet af passagerer befordret af konkurrenter og antallet af passagerer befordret af KLM, Martinair og Transavia.
Appendix 2 to the study (Non-scheduled passengers from Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK by Mediterranean destination and carrier) sets out tables for the years 1993, 1995 and 1997 which list all Mediterranean destinations served by non-scheduled flights from Schiphol and which give for each destination the total number of passengers, the number of passengers transported by competitors and the number of passengers transported by KLM, Martinair and Transavia.
Det kan af disse oversigter udledes, at Transavia i perioden 1993-97 også fløj til andre lufthavne end dem, der er nævnt for 1998 i oversigten på side 40 i anmeldelsen, bl.a. de 10 destinationer, der er nævnt under betragtning 10.
From those tables it can be concluded that Transavia was serving in the period 1993-1997 airports other than those airports which are mentioned for the year 1998 in the table on page 40 of Form CO of the notification, including the 10 destinations referred to in paragraph 10.
I CO-formularens indledning findes et afsnit, der bærer titlen »Nødvendigheden af at indgive en korrekt og fuldstændig anmeldelse«. Heri hedder det bl.a.:
The introduction to Form CO contains a section entitled ‘The need for correct and complete information’ which states:
»Alle oplysninger, der anmodes om på denne formular, skal være korrekte og fuldstændige.
‘All information required by this form must be correct and complete.
Oplysningerne skal gives i den relevante del i denne formular.
The information required must be supplied in the appropriate section of this form.
Bilag til denne formular må kun benyttes til at supplere de oplysninger, der er givet i selve formularen.«
Annexes to this form shall only be used to supplement the information supplied by the form itself.’
Oplysningerne om charterdestinationer i oversigten på side 40 i CO-formularen er tydelige og ingenlunde tvetydige.
The information on charter destinations in the table on page 40 of Form CO is clear and does not contain any ambiguity.
Der er ingen oplagte fejl, som umiddelbart falder i øjnene.
There is no obvious mistake which could be easily detected.
Oversigten indeholder ingen henvisninger til den af parterne citerede undersøgelse eller til nogen anden informationskilde.
The table contains no reference to the study cited by the parties or to any other source of information.
Det eneste sted i dette kapitel, hvor der henvises til undersøgelsen, er på side 34 i tilknytning til afgrænsningen af det relevante markeds geografiske udstrækning, og formålet med denne henvisning er at understøtte det standpunkt, at det geografiske marked dækker hele Europa [32].
The only instance in this chapter where a reference to the study is made is on page 34 in the context of the definition of the geographic scope of the relevant market and in order to support the argument that the geographic market is Europe wide [32]. In this context KLM states: ‘KLM and Martinair adopt SH&E's conclusion as their own for the purpose of this notification.’
SH&E-undersøgelsen dækker årene 1993-97 og indeholder ingen oplysninger om sommersæsonen 1998.
The SH&E study refers to the years 1993 to 1997 and does not contain any information for the summer season 1998.
Desuden er de statistiske oplysninger i bilaget til undersøgelsen ikke præsenteret på en sådan måde, at de umiddelbart kan sammenlignes med oversigten i anmeldelsen.
Moreover, the statistical information in the appendix to the study is not presented in such a way that a comparison with the table in the notification could easily be made.
Under alle omstændigheder ændrer luftfartsselskaberne deres destinationer fra tid til anden.
In any event, airlines change the destinations they serve from time to time.
Af den omstændighed, at de 10 destinationer, der er nævnt under betragtning 10, figurerede i SH&E-undersøgelsen for årene frem til 1997, kunne det derfor ikke klart udledes, at det forhold, at de ikke var nævnt i oplysningerne for 1998, skyldtes en fejl fra KLM's side og ikke en ændring af de destinationer, der beflyves.
Consequently it could not be clearly inferred from the presence of the 10 destinations referred to in paragraph 10 in the SH&E study for the years up to 1997 that their absence from the information provided in respect of 1998 was due to an error by KLM and not to a change in the destinations served.
Derfor kan oplysningerne i bilaget til SH&E-undersøgelsen ikke tjene til at korrigere de urigtige oplysninger, der blev givet i anmeldelsen i den relevante del af CO-formularen.
Therefore, the information provided in the appendix to the SH&E study cannot serve to rectify the incorrect information given in the appropriate section of Form CO of the notification.
Oplysninger om Transavias ruteflyvninger
Information on Transavia's Scheduled Flights
KLM hævder, at Transavias salg af pladser på ruteflyvninger ikke er en del af det relevante produktmarked og derfor ikke behøvede at blive nævnt. På et mundtligt spørgsmål om, hvorvidt Transavias ruteflyvninger var indregnet i de markedsandele, som var angivet i anmeldelsen, gav KLM følgende skriftlige svar:
KLM argues that Transavia's sales of seats on scheduled flights are not part of the relevant product market and therefore did not need to be mentioned.
»Disse markedsandele indgår ikke i SH&E-analysen og derfor heller ikke i KLM’s anmeldelse. Martinair har kun charterflyvninger til Middelhavsdestinationerne, hvorfor der ikke er nogen overlapning mellem Martinairs og Transavias aktiviteter på markedet for charterflyvninger til Middelhavsområdet.
In response to the oral question whether Transavia scheduled flights are included in the market share data provided in the notification KLM gave the following written reply:
