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).
Vastuseks teabenõudele [21] teatas KLM 9. septembri 1998. aasta kirjas, et Transavial on regulaarlennud Málagasse, Alicantesse, Barcelonasse, Casablancasse, Jarbah' saarele, Farosse, Funchalisse, Héraklionisse, Lissaboni, Las Palmasesse, Maltale, Nice’i, Palmasse, Tenerifele (1997. aastal kokku […]* reisijat ühe suuna lendudel).
This situation has not changed substantially since then; Transavia continued to have substantial scheduled operations to Mediterranean destinations.
Olukord ei ole sellest ajast saadik oluliselt muutunud; Transavia teostas ka edaspidi olulisel määral regulaarlende sihtkohtadesse Vahemeremaades.
Most of those destinations are also served by Transavia charter flights.
Enamusse nendest sihtkohtadest teostab Transavia ka tellimuslende.
In KLM's letter there is no statement that seats on those scheduled flights are sold to tour operators.
KLM-i kirjas ei ole märgitud, et istekohti nendel regulaarlendudel müüakse reisifirmadele.
For certain destinations the majority of seats for all passengers transported [31] is sold to tour operators.
Lendudel teatud sihtkohtadesse oli enamus kõikide veetud reisijate istekohtade arvust [31] müüdud reisifirmadele.
RESPONSE TO THE STATEMENT AND THE COMMISSION's EVALUATION THEREOF
VASTUS VASTUVÄIDETELE JA KOMISJONI HINNANG SELLE KOHTA
Information on Transavia Charter Destinations
Teave Transavia tellimuslendude sihtkohtade kohta
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’.
Vastuses komisjoni vastuväidetele nimetab KLM punktis 10. nimetatud sihtkohtade kohta teabe esitama jätmist “administratiivseks veaks”.
KLM explains that in providing the information it based itself on the in-flight magazine published by Transavia.
KLM selgitab, et andmete esitamisel lähtuti Transavia välja antud pardaajakirjast.
The in-flight magazine contains a map with Transavia destinations.
Pardaajakirjas on toodud kaart Transavia sihtkohtadega.
Scheduled destinations are marked with a yellow dot and charter destinations are marked with a red dot.
Regulaarlendude sihtkohad on märgitud kollaste punktidega ja tellimuslendude sihtkohad punaste punktidega.
The destinations which are reached both by charter and by scheduled flights are however also marked with a yellow dot.
Ka sihtkohad, kuhu toimuvad nii tellimus- kui regulaarlennud on märgitud kollase punktiga.
These are Alicante, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Faro, Funchal, Rhodes, Heraklion and Djerba.
Need on Alicante, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Malaga, Palma, Faro, Funchal, Rhodos, Heraklion ja Jarbah’ saar.
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 väidab, et nende sihtkohtade ebaõige kujutamine pardaajakirjas oli põhjuseks, miks neid ei mainitud tellimuslendude sihtkohtadena.
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 viitab ka teatisele lisatud SH&E analüüsile, millest väidetavalt selgub, et Transavia teostab tellimuslende ka teistesse sihtkohtadesse.
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.
KLM väidab, et igaühele, kes loeb teatist ja selle lisasid, oleks pidanud olema selge, et erinevus eelnevate aastate kohta teatises toodud tabelite ja lisades toodud tabelite vahel tuleneb veast ja et teatise põhjalikum analüüsimine tekitas komisjonis õigustatult küsimusi.
The notification contains in Annex X a listing of KLM's and Martinair's destinations, but no listing of Transavia's destinations.
Teatise X lisas on toodud loetelu KLM-i ja Martinair’i sihtkohtadest, kuid mitte loetelu Transavia sihtkohtadest.
The map with Transavia destinations and the Transavia timetable referred to in paragraph 10 was not part of the notified documents.
Kaart Transavia sihtkohtadega ja punktis 10 nimetatud Transavia sõiduplaan ei kuulunud teatisega koos esitatud dokumentide hulka.
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’.
Teatise VIII lisas on toodud SH&E analüüs 1998. aastast: “Euroopa tellimuslendude turg. Analüüs seoses Martinair’i 50 % Nedlloyd’i aktsiate omandamisega KLM-i poolt” (“The European Charter Market - An analysis in relation to KLM’s acquisition of the 50 % Nedlloyd stake in Martinair”).
The study has 60 pages of text.
Analüüs koosneb 60 leheküljest tekstist.
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.
Analüüsi 2. lisas (“Mitte-regulaarlendude reisijad Belgiast, Saksamaalt, Hollandist ja Ühendkuningriigist Vahemeremaade sihtkohtade ja lennuettevõtjate kaupa”) on toodud tabelid aastate 1993, 1995 ja 1997 kohta, milles on loetletud kõik sihtkohad Vahemeremaades, kuhu toimuvad mitte-regulaarlennud Schipholist. Iga sihtkoha juures on märgitud reisijate koguarv, konkurentide lendudel veetud reisijate arv ning KLM-i, Martinair’i ja Transavia lendudel veetud reisijate arv.
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.
Nende tabelite põhjal võib järeldada, et aastatel 1993–1997 teostas Transavia lende ka teistesse lennujaamadesse peale nende, mis olid loetletud teatise vormi CO 40. leheküljel 1998. aasta kohta, ning kus oli toodud punktis 10 nimetatud 10 sihtkohta.
The introduction to Form CO contains a section entitled ‘The need for correct and complete information’ which states:
Vormi CO sissejuhatuses on osa pealkirjaga “Täpse ja täieliku teabe vajalikkus”, milles väidetakse, et:
‘All information required by this form must be correct and complete.
“Käesolevas vormis nõutav teave peab olema täpne ja täielik.
The information required must be supplied in the appropriate section of this form.
Nõutav teave tuleb esitada käesoleva vormi selleks ettenähtud osas.
Annexes to this form shall only be used to supplement the information supplied by the form itself.’
Käesoleva vormi lisasid kasutatakse ainult vormis esitatavate andmete täiendamiseks.”
The information on charter destinations in the table on page 40 of Form CO is clear and does not contain any ambiguity.
Vormi CO leheküljel 40 toodud tabelis esitatud andmed tellimuslendude sihtkohtade kohta on selged ja üheselt mõistetavad.
There is no obvious mistake which could be easily detected.
Seal ei ole ilmset viga, mis oleks selgelt tuvastatav.
The table contains no reference to the study cited by the parties or to any other source of information.
Tabelis ei ole viidet osaliste poolt tsiteeritud analüüsile või mõnele muule informatsiooniallikale.
The SH&E study refers to the years 1993 to 1997 and does not contain any information for the summer season 1998.
SH&E analüüs käsitleb aastaid 1993 ja 1997 ja seal ei ole toodud mingeid andmeid 1998. aasta suvehooaja kohta.
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.
Pealegi ei ole statistilised andmed analüüsi lisas esitatud kujul, mis võimaldaks seda hõlpsalt võrrelda teatises toodud tabeliga.
In any event, airlines change the destinations they serve from time to time.
Igatahes muudavad lennuettevõtjad aeg-ajalt oma lendude sihtkohti.
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.
Järelikult ei saanud punktis 10 nimetatud 10 sihtkoha loetlemisest SH&E analüüsis aastani 1997 selgelt tuletada, et nende puudumine 1998. aastat puudutavate andmete hulgast on põhjustatud KLM-i veast ning mitte sihtkohtade muutumisest.
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.
Seega ei saa SH&E analüüsi lisas toodud andmeid lugeda teatise vormi CO selleks ette nähtud osas toodud ebaõigete andmete paranduseks.
Information on Transavia's Scheduled Flights
Teave Transavia regulaarlendude kohta
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.
KLM väidab, et Transavia regulaarlendude istekohtade müük ei moodusta osa asjaomasest kaubaturust ning seega ei olnud seda vaja mainida.
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:
Vastuseks suulisele küsimusele, kas Transavia regulaarlennud sisalduvad teatises toodud turuosa käsitlevates andmetes, andis KLM järgmise kirjaliku vastuse:
‘Such market shares are not included in the SH&E analysis and, consequently, in KLM's notification.
“Need turuosad ei sisaldu SH&E analüüsis ning järelikult ka KLM-i teatises.
Martinair only operates as a non- scheduled carrier on Mediterranean destinations, as a result of which there is no overlap between the activities of Martinair and Transavia within the non-scheduled Mediterranean market.
Martinair teostab Vahemeremaade sihtkohtadesse ainult mitte-regulaarlende, mistõttu Martinair’i ja Transavia tegevus Vahemeremaade mitte-regulaarlendude turul ei kattu.
The European non-scheduled Mediterranean market is substantially different from a scheduled market for the reasons described below:
Mitte-regulaarlendude turg Euroopast Vahemeremaadesse on oluliselt erinev regulaarlendude turust järgmistel põhjustel:
non-scheduled (charter) traffic is sold virtually only at one end of the route; passengers on non-scheduled (charter) flights buy their seats from a tour operator, while passengers on scheduled flights buy predominantly from travel agents or directly with the airline involved; seats on non-scheduled (charter) flights are sold to tour operators, contrary to seats on scheduled flights which are only sold to tour operators in small allotments; non-scheduled (charter) flights are operated at the commercial risk of one or more tour operators, the commercial risk of scheduled flights is with the air carrier; penalties for cancellation on scheduled flights are non-existing or, at least, much more liberal; the non-scheduled (charter) market has many more and different players.
Mitteregulaar(tellimus)lendude teenus müüakse tegelikult alles marsruudi lõpp-punktis; mitteregulaar(tellimus)lendude reisijad ostavad kohad reisifirma käest, regulaarlendude reisijad aga ostavad need peamiselt reisibüroodest või otse asjaomaselt lennuettevõtjalt; mitteregulaar(tellimus)lendude istekohad müüakse reisifirmadele, samal ajal kui regulaarlendude istekohti müüakse reisifirmadele ainult väikeste kvootide ulatuses. Mitteregulaar(tellimus)lende teostatakse ühe või mitme reisifirma kommertsriskil; regulaarlendude kommertsriski kannab lennuettevõtja. Karistusi regulaarlendude ärajätmise eest peaaegu ei ole või on need palju liberaalsemad. Mitteregulaar(tellimus)lendude turul on palju rohkem ja palju erinevamaid tegutsejaid.
The information provided in response to the Commission's request for information can not be added to the KLM Group's market share provided on p. 62 of the notification.
Teave, mis esitati vastuseks komisjoni teabenõudele, ei saa lisada KLM Groupi turuosale, mis on toodud teatise leheküljel 62.
Including Transavia scheduled flights into the market base would necessarily lead to a substantial increase of the total market base, since scheduled flights by other carriers should then be included as well.
Transavia regulaarlendude lisamine turubaasile põhjustaks kindlasti kogu turubaasi olulise suurenemise, sest siis peaks arvesse võtma ka teiste lennuettevõtjate regulaarlende. …”.
…’ [34].(31) The information required by Form CO in relation to market definition is described in Section 6.
[34](31) Vormil CO seoses turu määratlemisega nõutavat teavet kirjeldatakse 6. jaos.
In Section 6.I, the following definition of the relevant product market is used: ‘A relevant product market comprises all those products and/or services which are regarded as interchangeable or substitutable by the consumer, by reason of the product's characteristics, their prices and their intended use.
jao I osas kasutatakse järgmist asjaomase kaubaturu määratlust: “Asjaomane kaubaturg hõlmab kõiki neid kaupu ja/või teenuseid, mis tarbijate seisukohast on oma iseloomulike tunnuste, hindade ja otstarbekohase kasutuse põhjal omavahel vahetatavad ja asendatavad.
A relevant product market may in some cases be composed of a number of individual products and/or services which present largely identical physical or technical characteristics and are interchangeable.’
Asjaomane kaubaturg võib mõnel juhul koosneda teatud hulgast üksikutest toodetest ja/või teenustest, millel on üldjoontes samasugused füüsilised või tehnilised tunnused ja mis on omavahel vahetatavad.”
In view of the fact that certain seats on Transavia's scheduled flights are sold to package tour operators at the same price and under the same economic condition (guaranteed) as seats on charter flights, these sales are considered by the Commission to form part of the same product market.
Pidades silmas asjaolu, et teatatud arv istekohti Transavia regulaarlendudel müüakse reisifirmadele sama hinna eest ja samadel majanduslikel tingimustel (garanteeritud) kui istekohad tellimuslendudel, on komisjon seisukohal, et need müügid moodustavad osa samast kaubaturust.
The fact that such a market definition would mean that seats sold on scheduled flights performed by other airlines might also have to be included into the relevant product market cannot serve to allow KLM to omit this information.
Asjaolu, et selline turu määratlus tähendaks, et teiste lennuettevõtjate poolt teostatavatel lendudel müüdavad istekohad peaksid samuti olema asjaomase kaubaturuga hõlmatud, ei saa pidada põhjenduseks, mis lubaks KLM-il seda teavet mitte esitada.
The Commission notes that KLM believed that seats sold to tour operators on scheduled Transavia flights did not form part of the same market as seats sold on charter flights.
Komisjon võtab teadmiseks KLM-i seisukoha, et reisifirmadele müüdud Transavia regulaarlendude istekohad ei moodustanud osa samast turust kui müüdud tellimuslendude istekohad.
However, even under that assumption those activities should have been mentioned in response to Question 6.2 of Form CO as activities in a ‘market closely related to the affected market’ (so-called neighbouring markets).
Siiski, isegi selle eelduse korral oleks neid tegevusi pidanud mainima kui tegevusi “turgudel, mis on tihedalt seotud mõjutatava turuga” (nn “naaberturuga”) vastuseks vormi CO küsimusele 6.2.
The purpose of the question on neighbouring markets is precisely to obtain the necessary information in cases where the parties have used a market definition which may be narrower than the one retained by the Commission.
Naaberturge puudutava küsimuse eesmärgiks ongi saada vajalikku teavet juhtudel, kui osalised on kasutanud turu määratlust, mis võib olla kitsam kui komisjoni poolt kasutatav.
KLM gave a detailed explanation of why in its view scheduled flights did not form part of the relevant product market and was therefore aware that its was a market which was closely related.
KLM selgitas põhjalikult, miks tema arvates regulaarlennud ei moodusta osa asjaomasest kaubaturust ning oli seega teadlik, et see on turg, mis on eelnevaga tihedalt seotud.
In its response to Question 6.2 on neighbouring markets KLM did not leave the respective chapter blank.
Küsimuse 6.2 vastuse osas ei jätnud KLM tühja kohta.
KLM referred to its and Martinair's shareholding in tour operators and to its participation in a computer reservation system.
KLM viitas enda ja Martinair’i osalusele reisifirmade aktsiapakkides ning oma osalusele arvutil põhinevates piletite ettetellimissüsteemides.
It further stated that Martinair had charter flight operations to other destinations (Caribbean) and that KLM and Martinair had scheduled flights to various other destinations [35].
Ta märkis ka, et Martinair teostab tellimuslende teistesse sihtkohtadesse (Kariibi mere ääres) ja et KLM ja Martinair teostavad regulaarlende mitmetesse erinevatesse sihtkohtadesse.
That statement on charter and scheduled flights shows that KLM understood the question on neighbouring markets.
See märkus tellimus- ja regulaarlendude kohta näitab, et KLM sai aru küsimusest naaberturgude kohta.
However, KLM made no mention there of Transavia's scheduled flights.
Vaatamata sellele ei maininud KLM Transavia regulaarlende.
In that context, the detailed description by KLM of other neighbouring activities reinforces the impression that the information is complete and makes the omission misleading.
Selles kontekstis tugevdab KLM-i üksikasjalik kirjeldus teistest naabertegevustest muljet, et teave on täielik ning puuduvad andmed mõjuvad eksitavalt.
V. LEGAL ASSESSMENT
V. ÕIGUSLIK HINNANG
Information on Transavia's Charter Destinations
Teave Transavia tellimuslendude sihtkohtade kohta
The information given in the table on page 40 of Form CO on Transavia charter destinations is incorrect in that at least 10 destinations, most of them very important ones, are not mentioned.
Vormi CO leheküljel 40 tabelis toodud andmed on ebaõiged selles osas, et välja on jäetud vähemalt 10 sihtkohta, millest enamus on väga olulised.
The incorrectness of the information is reinforced by the statement preceding the table that ‘Transavia's and Martinair's charter services are to a large extent complementary’ [36].
Andmete ebaõigsust rõhutab enne tabelit toodud märkus, et “Transavia ja Martinair’i tellimuslennud on suures osas üksteist täiendavad.”
In particular, by omitting important Spanish, Portuguese and Greek destinations the table gives the incorrect impression that the overlap in operations between Transavia and Martinair is only limited.
Eelkõige jätab tabelist oluliste Hispaania, Portugali ja Kreeka sihtkohtade väljajätmine ebaõige mulje, et Transavia ja Martinair’i lennud kattuvad ainult piiratud osas.
The reference on page 39 to services being complementary can not be understood as relating only to the size of the planes, given the context in which the statement was made — immediately before the table.
Viidet leheküljel 39 üksteist täiendavate lendude kohta ei saa mõista ainult kui lennukite suurusesse puutuvat, võttes arvesse viite konteksti – vahetult enne tabelit.
Furthermore, the statement that Transavia operates to destinations ‘other’ than those of Martinair supports the false impression which the reader gains from the table.
Pealegi, märkus, et Transavia teostab lende “teistesse” sihtkohtadesse kui Martinair, tugevdab vale muljet, mis lugejale tabelist jääb.
The supply of that incorrect information was grossly negligent.
Nende ebaõigete andmete esitamine oli raske hooletuse tulemus.
Even if the parties' explanation concerning the use of Transavia's in-flight magazine is accepted, then a high degree of negligence is involved.
Isegi kui osaliste selgitus Transavia pardaajakirja kasutamise kohta oleks aktsepteeritav, on tegemist tõsise hooletusega.
An in-flight magazine is a marketing or promotional brochure where accuracy is not necessarily guaranteed.
Pardaajakiri on turundus- või reklaamiväljaanne, mille sisu täpsus ei ole alati tagatud.
The parties should have used a more reliable source of information, such as internal statistics of Transavia or the Transavia timetable which was later sent to the Commission.
Osalised oleksid pidanud kasutama usaldusväärsemat teabeallikat nagu Transavia firmasisesed statistilised andmed või Transavia sõiduplaan, mis hiljem komisjonile saadeti.
As Transavia is a fully controlled subsidiary that information was readily available to KLM.
Kuna Transavia on täielikult kontrollitav tütarfirma, oli see teave KLM-ile hästi kättesaadav.
Accordingly, KLM's failure to supply correct information on this point constitutes an infringement for which a fine may be imposed under Article 14(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation.
Seega kujutab selles osas õige teabe esitamata jätmine KLM poolt endast rikkumist, mille eest võib määrata trahvi koondumismääruse artikli 14 lõike 1 punkti b alusel.
The omission of any information indicating that Transavia has scheduled flights to Mediterranean destinations and that Transavia sells seats on those flights to tour operators makes the information provided on Transavia both misleading and incorrect within the meaning of Article 14 (1)(b) of the Merger Regulation.
Mis tahes teabe, mis näitab, et Transavia teostab regulaarlende sihtkohtadesse Vahemeremaades ja müüb nende lendude istekohti reisifirmadele, esitamata jätmine muudab Transavia kohta esitatud teabe koondumismääruse artikli 14 lõike 1 punkti b kohaselt eksitavaks ja ebaõigeks.
Not to refer to Transavia's scheduled Mediterranean flights is, in the context of the rest of the information provided in the Form CO, not a matter of a simple omission but, as explained above (Sections III and IV), substantively misleads the reader as it gives a distorted picture of the true facts.
Transavia Vahemeremaade regulaarlendude mainimata jätmine on ülejäänud vormil CO esitatud andmete kontekstis mitte ainult lihtsa andmete väljajätmise küsimus, vaid (nagu on eespool osades III ja IV selgitatud) eksitab lugejat olulisel määral, sest jätab olemasolevatest asjaoludest moonutatud pildi.
Thus, the information is both incorrect and misleading within the meaning of Article 14(1)(b) of the Merger Regulation.
Seega on andmed koondumismääruse artikli 14 lõike 1 punkti b tähenduses nii ebaõiged kui ka eksitavad.
The Commission cannot exclude the possibility that KLM intentionally withheld the information on Transavia's scheduled flights.
Komisjon ei saa välistada võimalust, et KLM jättis andmed Transavia regulaarlendude kohta tahtlikult esitamata.
At the very least a high degree of negligence is involved, since the information, its relevance, and the requirement to provide it in Form CO, are or should have been well-known to KLM.
Tegu on vähemalt tõsise hooletusega, sest andmed, nende olulisus ja nõue nende esitamiseks vormil CO on või oleksid pidanud olema KLM-ile hästi teada.
Accordingly, KLM's failure to include this information is also an infringement in respect of which a fine can be imposed.
Seega, nende andmete esitamata jätmine KLM poolt on samuti rikkumine, mille eest saab määrata trahvi.
