As indicated above, France has stated in its comments that it considered that airports with less than one million passengers per year should as a whole be regarded as services of general economic interest and therefore that the financing granted to them should not be regarded as State aid or that such financing should be declared compatible with the internal market and exempted from notification in accordance with the 2005 SGEI Decision.
25. septembri 2007. aasta lepingu (Charleroi) 16. juuni 2009. aasta lisaleping
However, as set out above, the Commission takes the view, based on the facts on record, that the operation of Pau airport cannot be regarded as a genuine service of general economic interest.
Bristol – 17. ja 31. märts 2008
For this reason, the 2004 and 2009 subsidies could not have been exempted from the notification obligation laid down by Article 108(3) TFEU based on the 2005 SGEI Decision.
Bristol – 16. juuni 2009
Moreover, as indicated above, these subsidies do not stem from a compensation mechanism established in an objective and transparent manner and in advance, i.e. when the public authorities entrusted the airport’s operation to the CCIPB or on the occasion of acts renewing or clarifying the terms of this operation.
London, Charleroi ja Beauvais – 28. jaanuar 2010
Accordingly, these subsidies do not satisfy the condition laid down in Article 4(d) of the 2005 SGEI Decision, according to which the act or acts entrusting the operation of a service of general economic interest must specify the parameters for calculating, controlling and reviewing the compensation.
Kokku (Ryanair/AMS)
This is a second reason why the 2004 and 2009 subsidies could not have been exempted from the notification obligation laid down by Article 108(3) TFEU based on the 2005 SGEI Decision.
[1 500 000– 2 199 999]
In the light of the above, the 2004 and 2009 equipment subsidies constitute unlawful aid.
Amsterdam – 23. jaanuar 2006
As explained above, the equipment subsidies granted in 2004 and 2009 reduced the investment costs that the CCIPB would normally have had to bear.
Nagu on selgitatud põhjenduses 290, leiab komisjon, et riigiabieeskirjade kohaldamisel tuleb Ryanairi ja AMSi vaadelda ühe majandusüksusena ning et samaaegselt sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste lepinguid ja turundusteenuste lepinguid tuleb vaadelda kõnealuse üksuse ja CCIPB vahelise üheainsa tehinguna.
They therefore constitute investment aid.
Seetõttu leiab komisjon, et Ryanair ja AMS vastutavad solidaarselt ajavahemikul 2005–2010 sõlmitud lepingute alusel saadud abisummade tagasimaksmise eest, mille põhiosa ligikaudne kogusumma on [1 500 000–2 199 999] eurot.
Furthermore, they were granted before 4 April 2014, which was the date when the new Guidelines entered into force.
Seevastu on üksnes Ryanair vastutav 28. jaanuari 2003. aasta lepingu alusel makstud abisumma tagasimaksmise eest, mille ligikaudne suurus on [300 000–599 999] eurot, kuna see leping sõlmiti otse CCIPB ja Ryanairi vahel, ilma et AMS oleks selles tehingus osalenud.
According to said guidelines, the Commission will apply to unlawful investment aid to airports the rules in force at the time when the aid was granted.
26. jaanuaril 2006. aastal CCIPB ja Transavia vahel sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste lepingu alusel ajavahemikul 2006–2009 tegelikult makstud abisummad ulatuvad ligikaudu [300 000–599 999] euroni.
With regard to the 2009 subsidy, the 2005 Guidelines were in force when this subsidy was granted and this is therefore the text that should be applied.
Prantsuse ametiasutused peavad eespool toodud summad sisse nõudma 4 kuu jooksul alates käesoleva otsuse teatavakstegemisest.
However, the 2004 subsidy was granted before the 2005 Guidelines entered into force, at a time when there was no specific compatibility criterion for investment aid to airports.
Prantsuse ametiasutused peavad lisaks sellele lisama abisummadele tagasinõutavad intressid, mida arvestatakse alates kuupäevast, mil abisummad anti ettevõtja käsutusse, see tähendab alates iga abisumma tegeliku väljamaksmise kuupäevast kuni kõnealuste summade tegeliku tagasimaksmiseni, vastavalt komisjoni määruse (EÜ) nr 794/2004 V peatüki sätetele.
The Commission must therefore assess this subsidy directly on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU, taking into account its decision-making practice in this regard.
Võttes arvesse, et käesoleval juhul on abiga seotud rahavood keerulised ja tekkisid aasta jooksul mitmel erineval kuupäeval või teatud tulude puhul ka pidevalt, leiab komisjon, et tagasi makstavate intresside arvutamisel on lubatav eeldada, et asjaomaste abisummade väljamaksmine toimus aasta lõpul, see tähendab iga asjaomase aasta 31. detsembril.
It should be recalled that the Commission’s decision-making practice with regard to the assessment of the compatibility of aid granted to airport operators was consolidated by the 2005 Guidelines.
Kohtupraktika kohaselt võib liikmesriik ettenägematute raskuste või asjaolude ilmnemisel, mis komisjonil olid märkamata jäänud, anda neist probleemidest komisjonile teada ja edastada vajalike muudatuste tegemise ettepanekud komisjonile hindamiseks.
The Commission therefore takes the view that the compatibility of the 2004 subsidy with the internal market should be assessed in the light of the criteria set out in the 2005 Guidelines.
Sellisel juhul peavad komisjon ja asjaomane liikmesriik tegema raskuste ületamiseks heas usus koostööd, järgides samas rangelt Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu sätteid.
Therefore, based on the 2005 Guidelines, the Commission has assessed the 2004 and 2009 equipment subsidies in terms of the following criteria:
Komisjon palub Prantsusmaal teatada kõikidest käesoleva otsuse elluviimisel tekkivatest probleemidest,
the construction and operation of the infrastructure meets a clearly defined objective of general interest (regional development, accessibility, etc.),
ON VASTU VÕTNUD KÄESOLEVA OTSUSE:
the infrastructure is necessary and proportional to the objective which has been set,
Artikkel 1
the infrastructure has satisfactory medium-term prospects for use, in particular as regards the use of existing infrastructure,
Riigiabi, mida Prantsusmaa andis Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõike 3 sätteid rikkudes ebaseaduslikult Ryanairile 28. jaanuaril 2003. aastal Pau-Béarni kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja Ryanairi vahel sõlmitud ning lennuliini Pau-London Stansted puudutava lennujaamateenuste lepingu ja turundusteenuste lepingu alusel, on siseturuga kokkusobimatu.
all potential users of the infrastructure have access to it in an equal and non-discriminatory manner,
Järgmiste riigiabi sisaldavate meetmete kasutamist on Prantsusmaa Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõike 3 sätteid rikkudes võimaldanud ebaseaduslikult samaaegselt Ryanairile ja ettevõtjale Airport Marketing Services ning need on siseturuga kokkusobimatud:
Moreover, in addition to the need to comply with the criteria set out in recital 539, State aid to airports, like any other State aid, must be necessary and proportional to the objective that has been set in order to be declared compatible with the internal market based on Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
30. juunil 2005. aastal Pau-Béarni kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud lennuliini Pau-London Stansted puudutava turundusteenuste lepingu 16. juunil 2009. aastal sõlmitud lisaleping;
The Commission notes first of all that, according to the 2005 Guidelines, costs eligible for investment aid to an airport must be limited to the investment costs of airport infrastructure properly speaking (runways, terminals, aprons, etc.) or facilities that directly support them (firefighting facilities, security or safety equipment).
25. septembril 2007. aastal Pau-Béarni kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste lepingu 16. juunil 2009. aastal sõlmitud lisaleping;
However, eligible costs must exclude the costs of commercial activities not directly linked to the airport’s core activities, such as the construction, financing, use and renting of land and buildings, not only for offices and storage but also for the hotels and industrial enterprises located within the airport, as well as shops, restaurants and car parks.
Pau-Béarni kaubandus-tööstuskoja 17. märtsi 2008. aasta kiri Ryanairile, millega laiendati Pau-Bristoli lennuliinile 30. juunil 2005. aastal Pau-Béarni kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja Ryanairi vahel sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste lepingu tingimusi, ning 31. märtsil 2008. aastal sama lennuliini kohta Pau-Béarni kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste leping;
All the investment costs of this work were eligible for investment aid under the 2005 Guidelines as the taxiway is an airport infrastructure.
28. jaanuaril 2010. aastal Pau-Béarni kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud lennuliine Pau-London, Pau-Charleroi ja Pau-Beauvais puudutav turundusteenuste leping ja tuvastatud „varjatud” lennujaamateenuste leping.
The 2009 subsidy was granted to help finance a series of investments in the runway and lighting and also, with regard to a small portion of the total investment costs, in an extension to the car park.
Riigiabi, mida Prantsusmaa andis Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõike 3 sätteid rikkudes ebaseaduslikult Transaviale 23. jaanuaril 2006. aastal Pau-Béarni kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja Transavia vahel sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste lepingu ja turundusteenuste lepingu alusel, on siseturuga kokkusobimatu.
The runway and lighting form part of the airport infrastructure.
Artikkel 2
Consequently, the investments costs of this infrastructure are eligible.
Taristutoetuste näol, mida Prantsusmaa võimaldas 2004. ja 2009. aastal Pau-Béarni kaubandus-tööstuskojale kogusummas 5,8 miljonit eurot, on tegemist riigiabiga Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses ning Prantsusmaa on seda andnud Euroopa Liidu toimimise artikli 108 lõike 3 sätteid rikkudes.
However, the car park costs must be excluded from the eligible costs as car parks do not form part of the airport infrastructure.
Käesoleva artikli lõikes 1 osutatud riigiabi on siseturuga kokkusobiv Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 3 punkti c tähenduses.
The total amount of the 2009 subsidy, i.e. EUR 4 100 000, does not exceed the total amount of the eligible costs of the runway and lighting, i.e. EUR 4 700 000.
Artikkel 3
As a result, the 2009 subsidy was used purely to finance eligible costs.
Prantsusmaa on kohustatud artiklis 1 osutatud abisummad abisaajalt sisse nõudma.
The 2004 and 2009 equipment subsidies (for which the total amounts are respectively EUR 1 600 000 and EUR 4 100 000) do not exceed the eligible costs calculated for these two subsidies (respectively EUR 2 600 000 and EUR 4 700 000), but do involve high aid intensities (respectively 62 % and 88 %).
Tagasi makstavatelt summadelt tuleb tasuda intressi alates kuupäevast, mil need anti abisaajate käsutusse, kuni nende täieliku tagasimaksmiseni.
Clearly defined objective of common interest
Intressid arvutatakse liitintressina kooskõlas määruse (EÜ) nr 794/2004 V peatükiga ja määrust (EÜ) nr 794/2004 muutva komisjoni määrusega (EÜ) nr 271/2008.
The 2004 equipment subsidy was used to finance taxiway work in order to upgrade this equipment to ensure a better flow of commercial traffic at peak times.
Prantsusmaa tühistab kõik artiklis 1 osutatud abi väljamaksmata maksed alates käesoleva otsuse vastuvõtmise kuupäevast.
The eligible investments funded through the 2009 equipment subsidy involved runway and lighting repair work that was needed so that the aerodrome could maintain its capacity and be recertified for medium-sized aircraft with a capacity of 200 to 250 seats.
Artikkel 4
The Category III lighting that was installed in 1992-1993 and the surface of the manoeuvring areas that was laid in 1990 needed, on the one hand, to be repaired in view of their age (given that the service life is usually in the order of 10 to 15 years) and, on the other hand, to be upgraded.
Artiklis 1 osutatud abi nõutakse tagasi viivitamata ja tõhusalt.
As a result, neither the 2004 subsidy nor the 2009 subsidy resulted in significant increases in capacity.
Artikkel 5
They essentially funded repair and upgrade work designed to keep the infrastructure in a condition to continue accommodating the type of aircraft and volume of traffic handled up to that point, and to improve the airport’s operation at peak times.
Kahe kuu jooksul alates käesolevast otsusest teatamisest edastab Prantsusmaa komisjonile järgmise teabe:
Pau airport handles a significant amount of business traffic, as this accounts for between 60 % and 70 % of all its traffic.
artikli 3 kohaselt tagasinõutavate abisummade suurus;
France has indicated in this respect that the Pau basin was the third main economic area in the Greater Southwest Region, behind the basins of Lacq and Oloron.
käesoleva otsuse täitmiseks juba võetud ja kavandatud meetmete üksikasjalik kirjeldus;
Pau is home to the international and regional headquarters of a variety of large businesses and also research and production centres.
dokumendid, mis tõendavad, et abisaajatele on antud korraldus abi tagasi maksta.
The absence of an airport at Pau or a significant reduction in its capacity could harm this economic activity as business travellers generally prefer to minimise their journey time, particularly so that they can make round trips within the day.
Prantsusmaa teavitab komisjoni järjekindlalt käesoleva otsuse rakendamiseks võetud riiklike meetmete elluviimisest seni, kuni artiklis 1 osutatud abi on täielikult tagasi makstud.
As a result, if business travellers to and from Pau had to use an airport, such as Tarbes airport, that was not in the immediate vicinity of the city, this could be regarded as a handicap by numerous businesses.
Prantsusmaa esitab komisjoni taotlusel viivitamata teabe käesoleva otsuse täitmiseks juba võetud ja kavandatud meetmete kohta.
Furthermore, Pau airport handles significant tourist flows, particularly due to its proximity to the Pyrénées and their winter sports resorts.
Samuti esitab Prantsusmaa üksikasjalikud andmed abisaajatelt juba tagasi saadud abisummade ja intresside kohta.
Studies conducted by the CCIPB specifically indicate that Ryanair passengers alone, who form the bulk of the tourist traffic, spent a total of EUR 8 000 000 in 2005 and EUR 56 000 000 in 2010 during their stay in the Pau region.
Artikkel 6
For all these reasons, the equipment subsidies received by the CCIPB in 2004 and 2009 contributed to the economic development of Pau and its region, given this airport’s impact on tourism and economic activity in general.
Käesolev otsus on adresseeritud Prantsuse Vabariigile.
These subsidies also contributed to the region’s accessibility, particularly for tourists and business travellers.
Brüssel, 23. juuli 2014
In this respect, it should be noted that Pau airport is 50 km from Tarbes airport and 100 km from Biarritz airport.
Komisjoni nimel
Biarritz airport is therefore unlikely, given its distance from Pau airport, to be regarded as a viable alternative to the latter by time-sensitive travellers, particularly business travellers.
Joaquín Almunia
Moreover, it seems that these three airports have quite different types of traffic.
Alates 1. detsembrist 2009 muutusid EÜ asutamislepingu artiklid 87 ja 88 vastavalt Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu („ELi toimimise leping”) artikliteks 107 ja 108.
Pau handles a large volume of business traffic, marked by the relatively high proportion of national traffic carried by Air France and regional traffic within its total traffic figures.
Mõlemal juhul on artiklid sisuliselt identsed.
Biarritz handles a large volume of tourist traffic heading for the Atlantic coast and Spanish border, marked by considerable seasonal traffic in summer and significant ‘low-fare’ traffic.
Käesolevas otsuses tuleb viiteid Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artiklitele 107 ja 108 käsitada vajaduse korral vastavalt viidetena EÜ asutamislepingu artiklitele 87 ja 88.
This is illustrated by the fact that this airport’s traffic remained at around 400 000 passengers per year over the 2001-2011 period, except in 2008 when there was a peak of 678 000 passengers due to the Lourdes site celebrating an anniversary.
Käesolevas otsuses kasutatakse Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu terminoloogiat.
This information tends to indicate that these airports serve fairly different market segments and are therefore only imperfect substitutes for each other.
ELT C 41, 15.2.2008, lk 11; ELT C 96, 31.3.2012, lk 22.
It has also been corroborated by traffic statistics, which are presented in more detail in recitals 567 to 572 as part of the analysis of the extent of the competition distortions caused by the aid.
ELT C 41, 15.2.2008, lk 11.
As a result, investment aid enabling Pau airport to remain in good condition contributes to the region’s accessibility to a certain extent, as it avoids passengers and airlines having to choose an imperfect substitute.
14. aprillil 2008 palus komisjon CCIPB-l esitada oma märkuste mittekonfidentsiaalse versiooni.
Furthermore, there is no high-speed railway line through Pau, with the closest one being in Bordeaux, which is about 1 hour 40 minutes away by road.
16. aprillil 2008 kinnitas CCIPB, et tema märkused ei sisalda konfidentsiaalset teavet, mida ei tohiks esitada Prantsuse ametiasutustele.
For most of the destinations accessible by a short-haul flight from Pau, using the train as an alternative mode of transport would therefore markedly increase the journey time, making the train a very imperfect substitute.
10. aprillil 2008 palus komisjon ettevõtjal AMS esitada oma märkuste mittekonfidentsiaalse versiooni.
Even the closest Spanish airports are around two hours away by road and therefore, for most passengers, probably do not constitute viable alternatives to Pau airport.
19. mail 2008 edastas ettevõtja AMS komisjonile oma märkuste mittekonfidentsiaalse versiooni.
As a result, it seems that, despite the existence of alternative modes of transport to flights from Pau and despite the proximity of Tarbes airport, the 2004 and 2009 equipment subsidies helped to improve the region’s accessibility and also regional economic development.
13. märtsi 2008. aasta kirjaga palus Air France pikendada 28. novembri 2007. aasta otsuse kohta esitatavate märkuste tähtaega ning komisjon nõustus 17. märtsil 2008 seda tähtaega pikendama.
The infrastructure is necessary and proportional to the objective set
ELT C 96, 31.3.2012, lk 22.
As indicated in recital 546, the work funded by the 2004 and 2009 equipment subsidies did not significantly increase capacity, but was simply designed to keep the infrastructure in a condition to accommodate the traffic handled up to that point and to cope better with peak periods.
14. mail 2012 kinnitas CCIPB, et tema märkused ei sisalda konfidentsiaalset teavet, mida ei tohiks esitada Prantsuse ametiasutustele.
These investments did not therefore exceed what was necessary in order for the airport to continue accommodating, under good conditions, including in peak periods, the traffic that it had handled up to that point.
1. mail 2012 edastas ettevõtja AMS komisjonile oma märkuste mittekonfidentsiaalse versiooni.
These investments were therefore necessary and proportional to the objective set.
Ryanair kinnitas, et tema märkused ei sisalda konfidentsiaalset teavet.
The infrastructure has satisfactory medium-term prospects for use
ELT C 99, 4.4.2014, lk 3.
It should be noted that, between 2000 and 2009, traffic at Pau airport fluctuated between around 580 000 and 820 000 passengers per year, with a maximum of 820 000 in 2008.
ELT C 113, 15.4.2014, lk 30.
In the 2000-2009 period, 2002 was the only year when traffic fell below 600 000 passengers.
Koos selle kirjaga edastas Prantsusmaa ka CCIPB märkuse, osutades seejuures, et Prantsuse ametiasutused ei nõustu kõnealuses märkuses toodud seisukohaga.
However, even in this year, the number of passengers (580 000) was still close to this threshold.
Samas kordab see märkus põhijoontes teavet, mille CCIPB oli komisjonile juba varem otse esitanud.
Given this fairly variable traffic, but which almost always exceeded 600 000 passengers per year, and also given the stable presence of Air France, which accounted for most of the traffic and a significant proportion of the business traffic, in both 2004 and 2009 the CCIPB could therefore rely on substantial prospects for use, which were at least equal to the airport’s basic level of activity, namely around 600 000 passengers per year.
Konfidentsiaalne informatsioon
These prospects therefore justified the investments aimed at keeping the infrastructure in a condition to accommodate the traffic handled up to that point and at coping better with peak periods, without, however, significantly increasing capacity.
Pau halduskohtu 3. mai 2005. aasta otsus kohtuasjas Air Méditerranée.
It should be recalled in this respect that the taxiway work funded by the 2004 subsidy was designed to upgrade the infrastructure so that peak periods could be better managed.
Pau halduskohtu otsus tulenes 2003. aasta septembris Pau naaberlinna Tarbes’i lennujaamas tšarterlende käitava lennuettevõtja Air Méditerranée esitatud hagiavaldusest.
Furthermore, with regard to the runway and lighting repair work carried out in 2009, this involved like-for-like repairs as there was no increase in area, no runway extension to accommodate more efficient aircraft and no improvement in the operating minima under low-visibility conditions.
Air Méditerranée väitel kahjustas tema huve ebaseaduslik konkurents tema käitatavate lennuliinidega Londoni ja Edela-Prantsusmaa vahel.
The service life of this equipment is in the order of 10 to 15 years.
Neid lepinguid käsitleti juba menetluse algatamise otsuses, vt 3.1 jagu.
The equipment replaced had been in use for between 16 and 19 years prior to the work.
ELT C 312, 9.12.2005, lk 1.
The 2009 equipment subsidy was therefore used purely to renew investments that had reached the end of their useful life.
Et 2011. aasta kohta puudub täpne summade jaotumine lennuliinide lõikes, otsustas komisjon jaotada kogusumma eri lennuliinide vahel 2010. aastaga samas proportsioonis.
In conclusion, the renovated infrastructure therefore had satisfactory medium-term prospects for use when the equipment subsidies were granted.

Development of trade not affected to an extent contrary to the common interest
Loomade hukkumine hõlmab eeskätt lindude hukkumist lennukite ja lindude kokkupõrkel, mis võib ohustada lennukite pardal olevate inimeste ja vara ohutust.
As indicated above, Pau airport is 50 km from Tarbes airport and 100 km from Biarritz airport.
Selle ülesande täitmine võib näiteks hõlmata avaliku juurdepääsuga ala ja piiratud juurdepääsuga ala vaheliste piirete paigaldamist ja hooldust ning piiratud juurdepääsuga ala äärtele paigaldatavaid videojärelevalve seadmeid.
Biarritz airport is unlikely, given its distance from Pau airport, to be regarded as a viable alternative to the latter by a substantial proportion of travellers.
Need meetmed hõlmavad eeskätt müravastaseid meetmeid, mille puhul võetakse vajaduse korral arvesse lennukite trajektoore, samuti ka õhu ja vee kvaliteedi kontrollimist lennujaamade ümbruses.
It is therefore unlikely to have been significantly affected by the aid received by Pau airport.
