In 2001 Västerås Airport was thus faced with the fact that its traditional airline customers were contemplating to cut down their activities at the airport and unwilling to enter any long-term agreements that would bring the airport stable long-term revenue.
Nende kaalutluste valguses ja tunnistades, et Ryanairiga sõlmitud kokkulepetest tulenevast tegevusest võis oodata lisatulu, on komisjon nõus, et VFAB toimis nagu turumajanduse tingimustes tegutsev ettevõtja, kui ta sõlmis lennujaamatasude lepingud Ryanairiga (4. meede) ning turunduslepingud Ryanairi ja AMSiga (5. meede).
In 2001 Västerås Airport had a very low rate of utilisation.
Seepärast ei antud kõnealuste meetmetega Ryanairile ja AMSile mingit majanduslikku eelist.
Available maximum capacity was estimated at about 950000 departing passengers per year, whereas the actual number of passengers was 93487, i.e. less than 10 %.
JÄRELDUS
At the same time, the airport was operating with high fixed costs, the majority of which were, according to the figures submitted by Sweden, imputable to the non-airline-related activity at the airport which, in the years 2000 to 2010, accounted for between 72 % and 92 % of traffic at the airport [44].
Komisjon leiab, et Rootsi on ebaseaduslikult rakendanud aktsionäride sissemakseid, mis tehti VFABsse ajavahemikul 2003–2010, rikkudes Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3.
By contrast, the operation of commercial airlines had always incrementally contributed to the profitability of the airport.
Siiski väidab komisjon, et see riigiabi on vastavalt ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 3 punktile c siseturuga kokkusobiv.
At that time, the natural avenue was to consider a development of low-cost airlines operations at the airport.
Komisjon nendib, et rent, mida VFAB maksis Västerås Flygfastigheter AB-le (2. meede), ei kujuta endast riigiabi.
According to estimates reported by the Swedish government's Ministry of Enterprise in a 1999 report on the prospects of Västerås Airport [45], low-cost airlines' market share in Europe was expected to grow from 3 % to 12 % in terms of passengers, an evolution that was expected to be particularly relevant in the wider Stockholm area which is marked by the high travel frequency of its residents.
Komisjon leiab, et Rootsi rakendas ajavahemikul 2001–2010 ebaseaduslikult kohalike lennujaamade abikava (3. meede), rikkudes Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3.
Indeed, other airports made the same assessment at the time and reoriented their business models along similar lines, e.g. Skavsta airport.
Teisalt täheldab komisjon, et see abikava on vastavalt ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 3 punktile c siseturuga kokkusobiv.
It is in this context that VFAB envisaged entering into the Agreements with Ryanair which, contrary to SAS which was reducing its operations at the airport, and other traditional airlines, was prepared to envisage long-term contractual relationships and guarantee a minimum number of passengers that contribute towards the incremental profitability of the airport.
Komisjon kinnitab, et ühelt poolt VFAB ning teiselt poolt Ryanairi ja AMSi vahel sõlmitud ärilised kokkulepped (4. ja 5. meede) ei kujuta endast riigiabi,
The Commission finds that a private airport operator in the same situation would have probably followed the same strategy as VFAB as it appeared the only reasonable option to increase the traffic at the airport and thus its revenues.
ON VASTU VÕTNUD KÄESOLEVA OTSUSE.
In this connection, Ryanair submitted a report commissioned from the consultancy Oxera which assesses the expected profitability of the VFAB-Ryanair Arrangements on an ex ante basis.
Artikkel 1
The report examines the expected profitability of the 2001, 2003 and 2005 Agreements between VFAB and Ryanair, as well as the Marketing Service Agreement between VFAB and AMS.
Riigiabi, mida Rootsi andis ajavahemikul 2003–2010 VFABsse tehtud aktsionäride sissemaksetena (1. meede), on siseturuga kokkusobiv vastavalt Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõikele 1.
The expected profitability has been assessed at the time each Agreement was signed — i.e. the additional revenues expected to accrue to VFAB as a result of the agreements (‘incremental revenues’) have been compared against VFAB's expected additional costs as a result of the agreements (‘incremental costs’).
Artikkel 2
This assessment also considers the impact of a joint assessment of the profitability of the airport service arrangements and the marketing agreements which, for the reasons indicated in recitals 232 to 239, the Commission consider the correct approach.
Riigiabikava, mida Rootsi rakendas ajavahemikul 2001–2010 VFAB-le ja teistele lennujaamadele tegevusabi andmisega kohalike lennujaamade abikava alusel (3. meede), on siseturuga kokkusobiv vastavalt Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõikele 1.
Oxera's assessment is based on documents and data that were available at the time of the negotiations of the Agreements using data from the periods prior to each agreement in order to inform the assumptions about reasonable expectations at the time of signing.
Artikkel 3
The analysis builds on forecasts concerning several parameters:
Rent, mida VFAB maksis Västerås Flygfastigheter AB-le ajavahemikul 2003–2010 (2. meede), ei kujuta endast riigiabi Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
total passenger traffic at Västerås Airport (based on levels of total traffic observed prior to signing each agreement, uprated by assumed growth in European air traffic), Ryanair passenger traffic (based on outturn data of Ryanair up until the signing of each agreement), aeronautical revenue (based on charges agreed in the arrangements and expected passenger forecasts), non-aeronautical revenue (forecasts based on outturn data prior to the signing of each agreement), incremental operating costs (based on ex ante estimates from VFAB), incremental marketing costs and investment costs (to the extent that the latter were expected to repaid through the commercial arrangements with airlines).
Artikkel 4
For the purposes of checking the robustness of these ex ante assumptions, VFAB has provided data on aeronautical revenue, non-aeronautical revenue, operating costs and capital expenditure over the period 2000-2010.
Lennujaamatasud, mida VFAB kohaldas Ryanairi suhtes ajavahemikul 2001–2010 (4. meede), ei kujuta endast riigiabi Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
The sensitivity of the forecasts has been tested through various checks in order to see how the profitability of the arrangements would be affected by certain negative factors.
Artikkel 5
The base case, which is the scenario based on the assumptions mentioned in recital 258, has been tested against the following sensitivities:
Turundustoetus, mida VFAB andis Ryanairile ja AMSile 2001., 2008. ja 2010. aastal (5. meede), ei kujuta endast riigiabi Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.

incremental operating costs estimated on a regression approach in which the estimates are tested and corrected against the actual effects of changes in passenger numbers on the airport's operating costs.
Brüssel, 1. oktoober 2014
The result of the assessment is that all the agreements were expected to be profitable at the time they were entered into.
Komisjoni nimel
Indeed, even in all the ‘stressed’ scenarios (i.e. applying sensitivity checks), the NPV of each individual agreement was positive.
Joaquín Almunia
Thus, in the most adverse scenario, the NPV for the 2001 Agreement was SEK 5,8 M, for the 2003 Agreement the NPV was SEK 8,7 M, for the 2005 Agreement (with the 2008 Marketing Agreement) the NPV was SEK 15,87 M and for the 2010 Marketing Agreement the NPV was SEK 9,9 M. A joint assessment of the combined NPV of all Agreements (performed as a check) indicates that the NPV would be SEK 22,2 M in the base case and SEK 13,7 M in the most adverse scenario.
ELT C 172, 16.6.2012, lk 27.
The conclusion of the assessment is therefore that based on an ex ante analysis, the expected profitability of the various Agreements covered by this investigation was positive, even under conservative assumptions.
Vt joonealune märkus 1.
The Commission considers that this assessment, which is not contradicted by any evidence submitted in the course of the formal investigation, is plausible and supports the finding that under similar circumstances, an MEO investor would have been likely to enter into similar agreements.
Komisjoni teatis „Suunised lennujaamadele ja -ettevõtjatele antava riigiabi kohta”, ELT C 99, 4.4.2014, lk 3.
In addition, the Commission notes that Sweden has provided detailed financial ex post information which, inter alia, shows the incremental costs and revenue for Ryanair and all other airlines operating at Västerås Airport in the period covered by the formal investigation.
Vt joonealune märkus 3.
This information is summarised in Table 6 (in which all costs for the marketing agreements with Ryanair and AMS have been allocated as an operating cost dedicated to Ryanair).

The Commission notes that this data, although based on an ex post view, bears out the ex ante assessment that the deals with Ryanair would contribute to the profitability of Västerås Airport.

Kuna lennujaama käitamine on osa Västerås Flygfastigheter AB tegevusest, hõlmavad näitajad kinnisvaraga seotud tegevust.

Tsiviillennundusamet võib kehtestada tsiviillennujaamades kohaldatavate lennujaamatasude kohta siduvaid eeskirju, kuid käesoleva otsusega hõlmatud ajavahemikul selliseid eeskirju ei kohaldatud.

Teine kokkulepe sõlmiti kahe kaaskirjana 2005. aasta lepingule (mis mõlemad allkirjastati 1. augustil 2010) ja turundusteenuse lepinguna (allkirjastati 17. augustil 2010).
As regards the ex ante assumption at the time of the Agreements between VFAB and Ryanair, Sweden has explained that in this context, although no formal and fully fledged business plan was established, it was clear to VFAB that the Agreements would bring a positive incremental profit contribution.
Komisjoni arvates ei ole tähtis, et osa turundustoetusest ei antud mitte otse Ryanairile, vaid Ryanairi tütarettevõtja AMSi kaudu.
Given the under-utilisation of the airport, the incremental cost due to Ryanair operations could indeed expected to be relatively limited.
Komisjon märkis, et Ryanairil oli lepingute allkirjastamise ajal AMSi üle otsene kontroll ja tundub, et ta isegi allkirjastas ühe kaaskirjadest AMSi nimel.
According to Sweden, the airport charges agreed under the 2001 Agreement and non-aeronautical revenue were expected, ex ante, to cover the incremental costs stemming from the arrangement and bring to VFAB a profit of SEK […] per year.
Lisaks on VFAB ja AMSi vahelises turundusteenuse lepingus sätestatud, et see „tuleneb Ryanairi kohustusest seada sisse lennuliin London-Stanstedi ja Västeråsi vahel ning teha sellel liinil neli lendu nädalas”.
At the time of the 2003 Agreement, VFAB could base itself on the actual financial outcome of Ryanair's operations in 2001-2002 which confirmed the 2001 ex ante assessment that the deal would bring a positive incremental profit contribution.
Otsus kohtuasjas C-35/96:
According to what was known at the time, VFAB assessed that the changes introduced by the 2003 Arrangement would cover the incremental costs stemming from Ryanair's arrangements and bring VFAB a profit of SEK […] per year.
komisjon vs. Itaalia (EKL 1998, lk I-3851, punkt 36), otsus kohtuasjas C-41/90;
When the 2005 Agreement was entered into, VFAB could base itself on the actual outcome of Ryanair's operations at the airport between 2001 and 2004 which had brought a consistent positive contribution to the airport's incremental profit.
Höfner ja Elser (EKL 1991, lk I-1979, punkt 21), otsus kohtuasjas C-244/94:
VFAB's assessment at the time was that the airport charges combined with the non-aeronautical revenue stemming from the contract would cover the costs stemming from Ryanair's operations and from 2007 bring the airport a profit of SEK […] per year.

In connection with LFV Holding's disengagement from VFAB in 2006 the City of Västerås also performed a review of the business prospects of the airport in order to decide on its future strategy as single remaining shareholder (as mentioned in recital 224).
Vt näiteks otsus kohtuasjas C-35/96:
At that time, the city considered several scenarios, in particular:
komisjon vs. Itaalia (EKL 1998, lk I-3851, punkt 36) ja otsus kohtuasjades C-180/98 kuni 184/98: Pavlov (EKL 2000, lk I-6451, punkt 75).
‘business as usual’, i.e. to continue with the existing commercial strategy and unchanged cost structures; or (b) to pursue the existing scale and orientation of the airport — retaining the Ryanair operations — but at the same time seek to reduce staff costs in line with a ‘basic airport’ model.
Otsus liidetud kohtuasjades T-455/08: Flughafen Leipzig-Halle GmbH ja Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG vs. komisjon ning T-443/08: Freistaat Sachsen ja Land Sachsen-Anhalt vs. komisjon (edaspidi „Leipzig/Halle kohtuotsus”, 2011, väljaandes „Euroopa kohtu lahendid” veel avaldamata).
This assessment indicated that scenario (b) — i.e. to continue operations along the existing commercial lines, including the arrangements with Ryanair, whilst seeking to reduce staff costs — would be the financially most beneficial as it would reduce losses to the City compared to other commercial options that were considered.
Vt ka otsus kohtuasjas T-128/89: Aéroports de Paris vs. komisjon (edaspidi „Aéroports de Paris' kohtuotsus”, EKL 2001, lk II-3929), mida Euroopa Kohus kinnitas otsusega kohtuasjas C-82/01 P (EKL 2002, lk I-9297), ja otsus kohtuasjas T-196/04: Ryanair vs. komisjon (edaspidi „Charleroi' kohtuotsus”, EKL 2008, lk II-3643, punkt 88).
This analysis consequently confirmed the assessment that the arrangements with Ryanair (including the marketing arrangements) were economically rational.
Vt näiteks otsus liidetud kohtuasjades C-159/91: Poucet vs. AGV ja C-160/91: Pistre vs. Cancava (EKL 1993, lk I-0637).
When assessing airport/airline arrangements the Commission, should also assess the extent to which the arrangements can be considered part of the implementation of an overall strategy of the airport to lead to profitability at least in the long term.
Lepizg/Halle kohtuotsus, punktid 42–43.
In this respect, the Commission has to take into account the factual evidence that was available, and the developments that could reasonably be expected, at the time when arrangements were made, in particular the prevailing market conditions, notably the market changes induced by the liberalisation in the air transport market, the market entry and development of low-cost carriers and other point-to-point carriers, changes in the organisational and economic structure of the airport industry as well as the degree of diversification and complexity of the functions undertaken by airports, the enhancement of the competition between airlines and airports, the uncertain economic environment due to the changes in the prevailing market conditions or any other uncertainty in the economic environment have to be taken into account.
Vt näiteks otsus kohtuasjas C-364/92: SAT Fluggesellschaft vs. Eurocontrol (EKL 1994, lk I-43).
The Commission notes that, as described in recitals 249 to 255, several reasons (such as the loss of business of the traditional airlines and the prospect of incrementally profitable, long-term arrangements with a guaranteed number of passengers with the commercially dynamic low-cost airlines) led Västerås Airport to consider the commercial arrangements with Ryanair, which made a positive contribution to VAFB's profitability, to be a necessary step in a strategy to ensure its future viability and profitability.

The Commission further notes that the infrastructure at Västerås Airport is open to all airlines and not dedicated to a specific airline.
Otsus kohtuasjas C-343/95: Cali & Figli vs. Servizi ecologici porto di Genova (EKL 1997, lk I-1547);
It also notes that, as shown in Table 6, the airline operations at Västerås Airport have been incrementally profitable in the whole period covered by the decision.
komisjoni otsus N 309/2002, 19. märts 2003;
In the light of these considerations, accepting that the activity resulting from the arrangements with Ryanair could be expected to create incremental revenue on an ex ante view, the Commission accepts that by entering into the airport charge agreements with Ryanair (Measure 4) and the marketing agreements with Ryanair and AMS (Measure 5), VFAB acted like an MEO.
