Traffic projections for the Pomeranian Region (in millions)
Artikel 4
The Commission further observes that according to the information provided by Poland, the Master Plan for Gdansk airport foresees further expansions of the airport to serve more than 10 million passengers per annum.
Senest to måneder efter meddelelsen af denne afgørelse sender Polen følgende oplysninger til Kommissionen:
Therefore, the concrete decision to expand the capacity of the Gdansk airport above 7 million can be taken in the future depending on the traffic developments.
det samlede beløb (hovedstol og renter), der skal tilbagesøges fra støttemodtageren
According to Poland, the updated forecast (prepared in March 2013) shows that demand in the catchment area is expected to be higher than the traffic projections in 2012.
en detaljeret beskrivelse af allerede trufne og planlagte foranstaltninger med henblik på at efterkomme denne afgørelse
According to the modified projections the demand in the catchment area amounts to around 9 million passengers in 2030.
dokumentation for, at støttemodtageren har fået påbud om at tilbagebetale støtten.
However, even this forecast shows that Gdansk airport alone would be sufficient, without a further investment, to serve the demand in the region at least until 2025 (on the basis of the adjusted traffic forecasts as described in recital 45).
Polen underretter løbende Kommissionen om resultaterne af gennemførelsen af de nationale foranstaltninger, der er vedtaget i henhold til denne afgørelse, indtil tilbagebetalingen af den i artikel 1, stk. 1, nævnte støtte er afsluttet.
Furthermore, according to the information provided by Poland the current capacity of the runway in Gdansk airport is 40-44 operations per hour and the current use is on average 4,7 operations per hour.
Polen indsender på Kommissionens anmodning straks oplysninger om, hvilke foranstaltninger der allerede er truffet eller planlagt for at efterkomme afgørelsen.
On the basis of information provided by Poland (see recitals 192–196 above) the Commission observes that Gdansk airport will be only used at around 50–60 % of its capacity in the coming years.
Polen giver tillige detaljerede oplysninger om de støttebeløb og renter, støttemodtagerne allerede har tilbagebetalt.
Consequently, even in the event of a dynamic passenger growth in the Pomeranian Region, Gdansk airport will be able to meet the demand of airlines and passenger during a long period of time.
Artikel 5
The Commission further observes that Gdansk airport offers more than 40 national and international destinations (both point to point connections and connections to hubs: Frankfurt, Munich, Warsaw and Copenhagen).
Denne afgørelse er rettet til Republikken Polen.
As mentioned in recital 60, Poland argues on the one hand that for land planning and environmental consideration the extension of the capacity of Gdansk airport is limited.
Udfærdiget i Bruxelles, den 11. februar 2014.
On the other hand, Poland argues that there are no limitations to the capacity extensions at Gdansk airport.
På Kommissionens vegne
The Commission considers that the arguments regarding the capacity expansion restrictions are contradictory and in any case they are not substantiated and therefore, the Commission cannot base its assessment on them.
Næstformand
In view of the spare capacity of Gdansk airport that will not be fully used in the long-term, and the plan to further expand capacity at that airport if necessary in the long term, the Commission considers that the creation of another airports in the Pomeranian region would not contribute to the region’s development.
EUT C 243 af 23.8.2013, s. 25.
The Commission further observes that with Gdansk airport the Pomeranian Region is already well connected and the new airport will not increase the connectivity of this region.
Med virkning fra den 1. december 2009 er EF-traktatens artikel 87 og 88 blevet til henholdsvis artikel 107 og 108 i traktaten om Den Europæiske Unions funktionsmåde (TEUF).
The Commission also notes that the business model of Gdynia airport suggests that it would compete for passengers with Gdansk airport in the LCC, charter and also general aviation markets.
De to sæt bestemmelser er indholdsmæssigt identiske.
Moreover, the creation of a new airport to serve as a back-up, emergency airport cannot justify the scale of investment at Gdynia airport.
For så vidt angår denne afgørelse skal henvisninger til artikel 107 og 108 i TEUF forstås som henvisninger til artikel 87 og 88 i EF-traktaten, når det er relevant.
In the light of the above, the Commission considers that the investment at Gdynia airport will lead to a mere duplication of infrastructures in the region, which does not meet a clearly defined objective of common interest.
TEUF indeholder også en række ændringer af terminologien.
The infrastructure is necessary and proportional to the objective which has been set
F.eks. er »Fællesskab« erstattet af »Union« og »det fælles marked« af »det indre marked«.
As stated in recitals 189 to 202, the Commission considers that the catchment area of Gdynia airport is and will be efficiently served by Gdansk airport.
Terminologien i TEUF vil blive benyttet i hele denne afgørelse.
In addition, both airports would pursue a similar business model and focus mainly on LCC’s and charters.
Se fodnote 1.
In absence of a clearly defined objective of common interest the Commission considers that the infrastructure cannot be considered to be necessary and proportional to an objective of common interest (see also recital 202 above).
Afhængigt af den valgte rute er afstanden i bil mellem lufthavnene i Gdynia og Gdansk mellem 26 og 29 kilometer.
The infrastructure has satisfactory medium-term prospects for use, in particular as regards the use of existing infrastructure
Kilde:
As stated in point (i), Gdynia airport is located only around 25 kilometres away from the existing Gdansk airport and both airport have the same catchment area and a similar business model.
Gdansk lufthavn ejes og drives af Gdansk Lech Wałęsa Airport Ltd, som er et selskab oprettet af offentlige enheder.
The capacity of Gdansk airport is currently used at less than 60 %.
Selskabets aktiekapital er fordelt som følger:
Taking into account the investments currently being carried out, Gdansk airport is sufficient to serve, depending on the forecasts used, the demand in the region at least until 2025–2028 and further expansions of Gdansk airport are feasible.
I 2012 håndterede den 2,9 millioner passagerer (2,7 millioner på ruteflyvninger og 0,2 millioner på charterflyvninger).
The Commission also notes that the business plan for Gdynia airport shows that the airport would generate about [80–90] % of revenue from serving low-cost and charter carriers.
Følgende otte flyselskaber tilbyder ruteflyvninger fra Gdansk lufthavn (januar 2014):
It means that it would focus on markets that are a core business of Gdansk airport.
Wizzair (22 destinationer), Ryanair (7 destinationer), Eurolot (4 destinationer), LOT (2 destinationer), Lufthansa (2 destinationer), SAS (2 destinationer), Air Berlin (1 destination), Norwegian (1 destination).
In this context, the Commission also observes that Poland did not provide any proofs of a possible collaboration between both airports.
Siden åbningen af en ny terminal i maj 2012 har Gdansk lufthavn haft kapacitet til at håndtere 5 millioner passagerer om året.
Also plans to generate revenues from other aviation and non–aviation activities (production and services) would not alone be sufficient to cover the high operational costs related to running Gdynia airport.
Ifølge oplysninger fra Polen vil udvidelsen af terminalen (planlagt til 2013-2015) øge lufthavnens kapacitet til 7 millioner passagerer.
Consequently, the Commission considers that Gdynia airport does not have satisfactory medium-term prospects for use.
Investeringen i Gdansk lufthavn blev også finansieret med statsstøtte (jf. Kommissionens afgørelse af 2008 i statsstøttesag N 153/08 — 1,7 mio. EUR (EUT C 46 af 25.2.2009, s. 7), Kommissionens afgørelse af 2009 i statsstøttesag N 472/08, som betød, at Polen tildelte Gdansk lufthavn omkring 33 mio. EUR (EUT C 79 af 2.4.2009, s. 2)).
All potential users of the infrastructure have access to it in an equal and non-discriminatory manner
Den nuværende militære flyveplads Gdynia-Oksywie ligger på grænsen mellem byen Gdynia og Kosakowo kommune.
Poland confirmed that all potential users will have access to the airport infrastructure on an equal and non-discriminatory basis without any commercially unjustified discrimination.
Aftalen blev underskrevet af myndighederne i Pommern, Gdansk kommune, Gdynia kommune, Sopot kommune og Kosakowo kommune, repræsentanter for den polske regering (voivodskabet Pommern, forsvarsministeriet og transportministeriet) og Gdansk lufthavn.
The development of trade is not affected to an extent contrary to the common interest
Efter Polens mening omfatter den del af investeringen, der hører under den offentlige politik, bygninger og udstyr til brandfolk, toldembedsmænd, lufthavnens sikkerhedsvagter, politifolk og grænsevagter, et hegn omkring lufthavnen med videoovervågning osv.
The Commission notes that Poland did not provided any proofs that Gdynia and Gdansk airport would form a collaborative aviation hub.
I nominelle termer.
Rather, it would seem logical that the two airports would have to compete for essentially attracting the same passengers.
Nettonutidsværdi angiver, hvorvidt forrentningen af et givet projekt overstiger (offer-) kapitalomkostningerne.
The Commission further notes that the business plan of Gdynia airport (around [80 - 90] % of revenue generated by low-cost and charter flights) and the scale of investments (e.g. a terminal with the capacity of 0,5 million passengers per annum that is to be expanded in the future) do not confirm the view that Gdynia airport would focus on general aviation traffic and would provide only or mainly services to the general aviation sector.
Et projekt betragtes som en økonomisk rentabel investering, hvis det genererer en positiv NNV.
Taking into account the above and the fact that both airports would focus first on LCC and charters, the Commission considers that the aid is directed to an airport, which would be in direct competition with another airport in the same catchment area without there being a demand for airport service that could not be served by the existing airport.
Investeringer, der giver en lavere forrentning end (offer-)kapitalomkostningerne, er ikke økonomisk rentable.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the aid in question would affect trade to an extent contrary to the common interest.
(Offer-) kapitalomkostningerne afspejles i diskonteringssatsen.
The absence of a common interest objective that the aid is intended to achieve, strengthen that conclusion.
Terminalværdien er nutidsværdien af alle efterfølgende pengestrømme, der genereres med en stabil og varig vækstrate (dvs. lufthavnsoperatørens egenkapital i det sidste år af den fremlagte forretningsplan).
Based on the data provided by Poland the Commission considers that the investment costs can be lower than for the construction of other comparable regional airports in Poland.
Meddelelse fra Kommissionen — EF-retningslinjer for finansiering af lufthavne og statslig startstøtte til luftfartsselskaber, som opererer fra regionale lufthavne (EUT C 312 af 9.12.2005, s. 1).
This is mainly due to usage of existing infrastructure of the military airport.
Retningslinjer for statsstøtte med regionalt sigte for 2007-2013 (EUT C 54 af 4.3.2006, s. 13).
Moreover, Poland argues that without the aid the investment would not be undertaken by the airport manager.
IRR er et mål for afkastet/overskuddet, som investoren opnår på den investerede kapital.
The Commission further observes that due to long period necessary to reach the break-even point for such type of investment the public financing could be necessary to change the behaviour of the beneficiary in such a way that it entered the investment.
De på daværende tidspunkt gældende regler findes i Kommissionens forordning (EF) nr. 1998/2006 af 15. december 2006 om anvendelse af traktatens artikel 87 og 88 på de minimis-støtte (EUT L 379 af 28.12.2006, s. 5).
Moreover, since the expected profitability of the investment project cannot be established (see recital 177) and a market economy investor would not pursue such project, it is indeed likely that the aid changes the behaviour of the airport manager.
I masterplanen for investeringsprojektet identificerede man de forskellige foranstaltninger, der er nødvendige for ombygningen af lufthavnen.
However, in absence of a clearly defined objective of common interest, the Commission concludes that the aid cannot be considered to be necessary and proportional to that objective.
FCFF bruges til at beregne virksomhedens indtægter før renter og skatter hvert år (EBIT) med tillæg af afskrivninger og amortisering (eftersom disse ikke er kontante udgifter) og med fradrag af investeringsbehov, ændringer af arbejdskapital og skatter (se tabel 5 i MEIP-undersøgelsen fra 2010).
Consequently, the Commission considers that the investment aid of Gdynia and Kosakowo in favour of Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd does not comply with the requirements of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines and cannot be found compatible with the internal market.
Dermed tager man i FCFF-beregningerne hensyn til hele det planlagte kapitalforbrug til ombygningen af lufthavnen.
The Commission is of the view that the financing of operating losses of Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd constitutes operating aid, reducing the airport operator’s current expenditure.
Den vægtede gennemsnitlige kapitalomkostning (WACC) er den sats, som en virksomhed forventes at betale til alle indehavere af værdipapirer med henblik på at finansiere dens aktiver.
According to the case law of the Court, such operating aid is in principle incompatible with the internal market.
Den er baseret på en risikofri sats på […] %, et kreditrisikotillæg på […] %, en selskabsskattesats på 19 %, en beta på […], et markedssatstillæg på […] % og en kapitalstruktur på […] % gæld og […] % egenkapital (jf. afsnit 4.4 på side 21 i MEIP-undersøgelsen fra 2010).
According to the 2005 Aviation Guidelines, operating aid granted to airports can only be declared compatible under exceptional circumstances and strict conditions in underprivileged regions.
Kommissionen bemærker, at de beregninger, Polen har indsendt, synes at vise, at man benyttede en WACC med en nedadgående tendens i MEIP-undersøgelsen.
The Commission notes that Gdynia airport is located in an underprivileged region covered by the derogation set out in Article 107(3)(a) of the TFEU, and thus, the Commission has to assess whether the operating aid at stake can be considered compatible under the RAG.
Terminalværdien var baseret på en stabil vækstantagelse på […] %.
According to paragraph 76 of the RAG, the operating aid in regions eligible under the derogation in Article 107(3)(a) of the TFEU may be granted provided that following cumulative criteria are met:
Den risikofrie sats blev øget til […] %, og betaen blev øget til […].
it is justified in terms of its contribution to regional development and its nature and (ii) its level is proportional to the handicaps it seeks to alleviate.
Kapitalstrukturen blev ændret ved at øge gældens andel ([…] %) og sænke egenkapitalens andel ([…] %).
Poland is of the opinion that the operating aid is compatible with the paragraph 76 of the RAG (see recitals 77–79).
FCFE = FCFF + optagede kreditter og lån — tilbagebetalte kreditter og lån — renter på kreditter og lån.
Since the Pomeranian Region is already served by Gdansk airport and the new airport will not increase the connectivity of this region, the Commission cannot conclude that the aid would contribute to regional development.
I sammenligning med FCFF diskonteres FCFE med et afkast på egenkapital, der altid er højere end WACC.
The Commission considers that in absence of that, it cannot be concluded that the operating aid is proportional to the handicaps it seeks to alleviate, as the Pomeranian Region does not appear to suffer from any connectivity handicap.
Dette betyder, at NNV viser, hvilken del af afkastet på investeringen aktionærerne (egenkapitalinvestorerne) får.
Moreover, the Commission considers the assessed operating aid is allocated to a part of predetermined expenditure.
NNV beregnet på grundlag af FCFE afspejler derfor ikke det samlede investeringsafkast, dvs. tilbagebetaling til aktionærer og tilbagebetaling til kreditorer.
However in the view of the Commission’s assessment of the business plan for Gdynia airport and it’s assessment of the level of foreseen revenues and costs, presented in section 5.1.3, it cannot be concluded that the aid would be limited to a necessary minimum, granted on a transitional basis and be degressive.
For at afspejle forskellene i den typiske finansieringsstruktur for lufthavnsselskaber og selskaber, der leverer tjenesteydelser til lufthavne, blev afkastet på egenkapital gearet inden beregning af gennemsnittene.
In particular, with regard to the uncertainties regarding the expected profitability of the airport operator (see section on the existence of aid) the transitional nature and degressivity of the aid cannot be ensured.
Den risikofrie sats blev reduceret til […] %, og betaen blev reduceret til […].
In any case, the Commission considers that granting operating aid in order to ensure the operation of an investment project that benefits of incompatible investment aid is inherently incompatible with the internal market.
Byområdet med de tre byer består af tre større byer i Pommern (Gdansk, Gdynia og Sopot).
Therefore, the Commission considers that the operating aid in favour of Gdynia-Kosakowo airport Ltd granted by Gdynia and Kosakowo does not comply with the criteria set out in the RAG.
I øjeblikket findes der tre lufthavne i området med de tre byer:

Consequently, the Commission concludes that the State aid granted to Gdynia-Kosakowo Airport Ltd is incompatible with the internal market.

Likewise Poland has invoked neither any compatibility clause nor provided any substantial arguments that would allow the Commission to declare the present aid compatible.

Article 1
Kun […] mio. PLN (omkring […] EUR) var blevet anvendt til at finansiere de forskellige undersøgelser, der blev gennemført forud for projektet.
The State aid, unlawfully put into effect by Poland between 28 August 2007 and 17 June 2013 in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union in favour of Port Lotniczy Gdynia-Kosakowo sp. z o.o. by means of capital injections amounting to PLN 91714000 PLN is incompatible with the internal market.
Aftalen af 11. marts 2011 betyder, at Gdynia skal foretage kontante indskud på i alt 59,048 mio. PLN (14,8 mio. PLN) i perioden 2011-2013, og at Kosakowo skal yde et ikkekontant bidrag (ombytning af årlige lejeindtægter til aktier) i perioden 2011-2040.
The State aid which Poland is planning to implement for Port Lotniczy Gdynia-Kosakowo sp. z o.o. after 17 June 2013 for the conversion of the military airport of Gdynia-Kosakowo into a civil aviation airport is incompatible with the internal market.
