2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punkt 29.
The 2005 Aviation Guidelines, in turn, stipulate that:
Kohtuasi C-364/92: SAT Fluggesellschaft vs. Eurocontrol (EKL 1994, lk I-43); 2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punkt 34.
‘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.’
Viidatud komisjoni otsus N 309/2002, 19. märts 2003.
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.
Vt eelkõige kohtuasi C-364/92: SAT Fluggesellschaft vs. Eurocontrol (EKL 1994, lk I-43, punkt 30 ning kohtuasi C-113/07 P: Selex Sistemi Integrati vs. komisjon (EKL 2009, lk I-2207, punkt 71); 2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punkt 35.
Compatibility assessment pursuant to 2005 Aviation Guidelines
Vt kohtuasi C-172/03: Wolfgang Heiser vs. Finanzamt Innsbruck (EKL 2005, lk I-01627, punkt 36 ja viidatud kohtupraktika).
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.
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punkt 37.
The aid is paid to air carriers with a valid operating licence issued by a Member State pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2407/92
Itaalia 10. juuni 2014. aasta kiri, 22. lisa.
In this case the beneficiaries are air carriers as defined by Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 [135].

The second condition is thus observed.

This aid must not encourage traffic simply to be transferred from one airline or company to another.
Viidatud otsus kohtuasjas Altmark.
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
Kohtuasi 173/73: Itaalia Vabariik vs. Euroopa Ühenduste Komisjon (EKL 1974, lk 709, punkt 13).
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.

The third condition set forth by the 2005 Aviation Guidelines is thus fulfilled.
Viidatud Stardust Marine kohtuotsus, punkt 71.
The route receiving the aid must ultimately prove profitable, namely it must at least cover its costs, without public funding.
Kohtuasi C-124/10P: Euroopa Komisjon vs. Électricité de France („EDF”, 2012, kohtulahendite kogumikus veel avaldamata, punkt 85).
For this reason start-up aid must be degressive and of limited duration
Komisjon ei võta otsuses selle aspekti kohta lõplikku seisukohta.
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.
Vt komisjoni teatis liikmesriikidele (EÜT C 307, 31.11.1993, lk 3), punkt 36.
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.
Vt nt otsus kohtuasjas C-372/97: Itaalia vs. komisjon (EKL 2004, I-3679, punkt 44).
The amount of aid must be strictly linked to eligible costs
EÜT C 119, 22.5.2002, lk 22.
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’.
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punkti 25 alapunkt 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.
Vt nt komisjoni otsus juhtumis SA.34586 – Kreeka – Chania lennujaama moderniseerimine, põhjendus 49.
This condition is therefore not complied with.
Tabelis 5 nimetatud vana terminali ümberehitus on seotud uue terminali laiendamisega/ehitamisega ning seega on see lisatud uuele terminalile antava abi kirjeldusse.
The degressive aid may be granted for a maximum period of three years.
Nagu on sätestatud 2005. aasta septembris heakskiidetud programmis „Programma di Intervento” Investimenti „of the Programma di sviluppo per l'affidamento della gestione quarantennale”.
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
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punktid 137 ja 113.
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.
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punktid 137 ja 120.
The Commission therefore finds that this condition is not fulfilled.
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punktid 137 ja 116.
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
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punktid 137 ja 124.
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.
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punktid 137 ja 125.
The aid payments must be linked to the net development of the number of passengers transported
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punktid 137 ja 131.
The Commission notes that there is a clear link between the number of passengers carried and the amount of aid.
Vt nt kohtuasi C-278/00: Kreeka vs. komisjon (EKL 2004, lk I-03997); C-482/99: Prantsusmaa vs. komisjon (EKL 2002, lk I-04397); liidetud kohtuasjad C-328/99 ja C-399/00: Itaalia ja SIM 2 Multimedia vs. komisjon (2003, lk I-04035, punkt 33).
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.
Viidatud Stardust Marine'i otsuse punktid 52 ja 53.
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.
Viidatud Stardust Marine'i otsuse punkt 56.
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
Viidatud kohtuasi C-482/99: Prantsusmaa vs. komisjon.
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.
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punkt 53.
However, no evidence was provided in that respect.
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punkt 66.
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.
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punktid 59 ja 61.
The procedure for selection of the air carriers was therefore not sufficiently clear to ensure the non-discriminatory treatment of applicants of interested carriers.
Turumajanduse tingimustes tegutseva ettevõtja põhimõtte hindamise 2011. aasta aruanne.
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.
Viidatud otsus Charleroi kohtuasjas, punkt 59.
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
Siin osutatakse tuludele, mis lähevad lennujaama käitajale autoparklate, kaupluste, restoranide jm kaubandustegevuse suurenemisel, mille põhjuseks on reisijate arvu kasv.
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.
Täituvus või täituvustegur on määratletud kui kõnealusel lennumarsruudil toimuva reisi puhul õhusõidukis täidetud kohtade osatähtsus.
Neither has So.Ge.A.AL claimed to have carried out an assessment of the impact of the new routes in question on other routes.
Analüüs hõlmab jääkväärtust, et võtta arvesse ettevõtja So.Ge.A.AL tulevasi tulusid, mida saadakse pärast 2006. ja 2010. aasta lepingute lõppemist (vt põhjendus 471), ning jäetakse välja ajavahemik, mil 2006. ja 2010. aasta lepinguid tagasiulatuvalt kohaldati (vt põhjendus 485).
This condition is therefore not observed.
Eeldatavate rahavoogude diskonteerimiseks kohaldati komisjoni viitemäärasid.
States must ensure that the list of routes receiving aid is published annually for each airport, in each instance indicating the source of public funding, the recipient company, the amount of aid paid and the number of passengers concerned
Regressioonanalüüsis kasutatud lisakulude andmed pärinevad 2006. ja 2010. aasta lepingute sõlmimise eelsest ajast ja need pidanuksid olema ettevõtjale So.Ge.A.AL kõnealuste lepingute sõlmimise ajal kättesaadavad.
There is no indication that Alghero airport published yearly the list of routes receiving public financing, indicating the source of financing, the air carrier, the amount of aid actually paid and the number of passengers carried.
Kuna aga kulude andmed on saadaval üksnes ajavahemiku 1998–2010 kohta ja kui sarnast meetodit kasutati 2000., 2002. ja 2003. aasta lepingute puhul, oli regressioonanalüüsi tegemiseks saadaval üksnes vastavalt kaks, kolm ja neli punkti, mis on usaldusväärsete tulemuste saamiseks ebapiisav.
Where applicable, appeal procedures must be provided for at Member State level to ensure that there is no discrimination in the granting of aid
Seega põhineb regressioon nende lepingute puhul ajavahemiku 1998–2010 kuluandmetel.
Italy has not claimed that appeal procedures were in place to deal with complaints regarding the granting of the aid to carriers operating routes from Alghero airport.
Materjalide, reklaami-, statsionaarsed, kütuse-, pardakaartide, abistavate teatiste, pagasisiltide, töötajate vormiriietuse kulud.
Penalty mechanisms must be implemented in the event that a carrier fails to keep to the undertakings that it gave in relation to an airport when the aid was paid.
Sõidukikindlustuse, seadmete ja sõidukite hooldus- ja remondikulud, muud sõidukikulud, raadiosageduste, lennule registreerimise seadmete hoolduskulud.
A system for recovering aid or for seizing a guarantee initially deposited by the carrier will allow the airport to ensure that the airline honours its commitments
2003. aastal lennujaama käitajate makstud aastased kontsessioonitasud määratakse kindlaks taristuministeeriumi ja Transport-ENACi igal aastal avaldatud liiklusandmete alusel.
The Commission notes that the agreements with the carriers lay down a system of penalties in case the airlines to not observe the traffic targets stipulated therein.
Vt sellega seoses käesoleva otsuse põhjendus 156.
This condition is thus fulfilled.
Prognoositavate rahavoogude (nii sissetulevate kui ka väljaminevate) aegridade NPV määratakse kui asjaomase ajavahemiku üksikute prognoositavate rahavoogude diskonteeritud summa.
Start-up aid cannot be combined with other types of aid granted for the operation of a route, such as aid of a social nature granted to certain categories of passengers and compensation for discharging public services.
NPV on tavaline vahend, mida ettevõtjad kasutavad projekti kasumlikkuse hindamisel.
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.
Ettevõtja So.Ge.A.AL 7. juuli 2009. aasta juhatuse koosoleku protokoll.
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
Ettevõtja So.Ge.A.AL 9. septembri 2009. aasta juhatuse koosoleku protokoll.
Italy confirmed that the aid in question was not granted for the start-up of routes subject to PSOs under Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008.
Ettevõtja So.Ge.A.AL 23. veebruari 2010. aasta juhatuse koosoleku protokoll.
However, Italy has not confirmed that the aid was not combined with other aid to cover the same costs.
Kuigi see strateegia oli tulemuslik ja So.Ge.A.AL suutis liiklusmahte vastavalt oma ootustele märkimisväärselt kasvatada, ei ole lennujaama käitaja suutnud liiklusmahtude kasvu muuta kasumlikkuse suurenemiseks, vaatamata riigiasutuste võimaldatud rahalisele toetusele.
Therefore, the aid to the airlines cannot be found to constitute compatible start-up aid under the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
Suuresti on selle põhjuseks olulised viivitused ulatusliku kontsessiooni andmisel.
The State aid implemented for Meridiana and Germanwings therefore constitutes unlawful and incompatible State aid that must be recovered.
Germanwingsi ja Meridiana puhul on täituvus kokku lepitud ettevõtjaga So.Ge.A.AL sõlmitud lepingutes.
CONCLUSION
Volare puhul põhineb täituvus ettevõtja So.Ge.A.AL varasematel teadmistel lennuettevõtja lendudest.
Therefore, the Commission finds that:
Kuna Volare teenindab mitut riigisisest liini, eeldati väiksemat täituvust.
Italy implemented investment aid to Alghero airport in violation of Article 108(3) of the Treaty.
Alitalia puhul ei ole liiklusprognoose tuletatud konkreetsest täituvuse eeldusest, sest Alitalia kasutab erinevaid lennukimudeleid (mille suurim istekohtade arv varieerub 90 ja 180 vahel), olenevalt nädalapäevast ja aastaajast.
The investment aid is compatible with the internal market within the meaning of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty;
Liiklusprognoosid on tuletatud varasemate kogemuste ja teadmiste põhjal lennuettevõtja lendude kohta.
Italy implemented operating aid to Alghero airport in violation of Article 108(3) of the Treaty.
Kasutati diskontomäära 6,42 %.
The operating aid is compatible with the internal market within the meaning of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty;
Kasutati diskontomäära 2,24 %.
The airport services (or handling) agreements and the marketing agreements concluded by So.Ge.A.AL with Ryanair, Air One/Alitalia, Volare, bmibaby, Air Vallée and Air Italy do not constitute State aid;
Liiklusmahuga seotud väikeste kohustuste tõttu ei olnud Air Vallée või bmibaby teenindamiseks vaja lisapersonali.
The handling and marketing agreements concluded by So.Ge.A.AL with Meridiana and Germanwings constitute unlawful and incompatible State aid.
Kasutati diskontomäära 5,55 %.
RECOVERY
Kasutati diskontomäära 6 %.
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.
Kohtuasi 730/79: Philip Morris Holland BV vs. Euroopa Ühenduste Komisjon (EKL 1980, lk 267, punkt 11) ja liidetud kohtuasjad T-298/97, T-312/97, T-313/97, T-315/97, T-600/97 kuni 607/97, T-1/98, T-3/98 kuni T-6/98 ja T-23/98: Alzetta Mauro jt vs. Euroopa Ühenduste Komisjon (EKL 2000, lk II-2325, punkt 80).
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].
Kohtuasi 730/79: Philip Morris Holland BV vs. Euroopa Ühenduste Komisjon (EKL 1980, lk 2671, punktid 11 ja 12) ja kohtuasi T-214/95: Het Vlaamse Gewest (Flaami piirkond) vs. Euroopa Ühenduste Komisjon (EKL 1998, lk II-717, punktid 48–50).
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].
Nõukogu määrus (EMÜ) nr 2407/92, 23. juuli 1992, lennuettevõtjatele lennutegevuslubade väljaandmise kohta (EÜT L 240, 24.8.1992, lk 1); nõukogu määrus (EMÜ) nr 2408/92, 23. juuli 1992, ühenduse lennuettevõtjate juurdepääsu kohta ühendusesisestele lennuliinidele (EÜT L 240, 24.8.1992, lk 8); nõukogu määrus (EMÜ) nr 2409/92, 23. juuli 1992, piletihindade ja lastitariifide kohta (EÜT L 240, 24.8.1992, lk 15).
Following that case-law, Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/99 [141] laid down that ‘where negative decisions are taken in respect of unlawful aid, the Commission shall decide that the Member State concerned shall take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary.’
Kohtuasi C-305/89: Itaalia vs. komisjon (EKL 1991, I-1603, punkt 26).
Therefore, the State aid mentioned in Table 19 implemented for Meridiana and Germanwings must be reimbursed to Italy insofar as it has been paid out.
Pärast määruse (EÜ) nr 1008/2008 jõustumist tunnistati kehtetuks määrus (EMÜ) nr 2407/92 ning määruse (EÜ) nr 1008/2008 artikli 27 kohaselt käsitatakse viiteid kehtetuks tunnistatud määrusele viidetena määrusele (EÜ) nr 1008/2008.
Regarding the amounts to be recovered, the Commission will consider the ex ante analysis of expected incremental costs and revenues of the agreements as set out in Table 19, with the following additional considerations:
Määrus (EMÜ) nr 2408/92
For each agreement or combination of agreements at stake, the annual aid amount to recover should correspond to the annual negative incremental cash flow at the time when the decision was taken to sign the agreement, for each year of application of the contract.
Vastavalt määruse (EMÜ) nr 2408/92 artikli 2 punktis m määratletule.
Those negative cash flows correspond to the amount of financing needed for the net present value of the agreement to be positive, thus for the agreement to be market conform.
Otsus kohtuasjas C-70/72: komisjon vs. Saksamaa (EKL 1973, lk 813, punkt 13).
The Commission considers that the timeframe to take into consideration for the profitability analysis for Germanwings is 2007.
Ühendatud kohtuasjad C-278/92, C-279/92 ja C-280/92: Hispaania vs. komisjon (EKL 1994, lk I-04103, punkt 75).
As mentioned in recital 117, Germanwings operated from Alghero airport only in 2007.
Kohtuasi C-75/97: Belgia vs. komisjon (EKL 1999, lk I-3671, punktid 64–65).
Indeed, the effective advantage received by the airline company is limited to the effective duration of the agreements at stake, as once the agreement has been terminated, Germanwings has not received any more advantage from the airport.
Nõukogu määrus (EÜ) nr 659/1999, 22. märts 1999, millega kehtestatakse üksikasjalikud eeskirjad Euroopa liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 kohaldamiseks (EÜT L 83, 27.3.1999, lk 1).
