natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
The operating aid was monitored over the whole period in question to adapt it to the real necessities of the airport.
25. jaanuaril 2010 sõlmitud lepingu, 3. märtsil 2003 sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste lepingu ja 7. aprillil 2003 sõlmitud turunduslepingu kokkusobivuse hindamine
Therefore, the Commission considers that the operating aid in the case in question was proportional and limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
Seepärast tuleb abi kokkusobivust uurida 2005. aasta lennundussuuniste alusel.
Avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States
Võttes arvesse, et 2005. aasta lennundussuuniste punktis 79 ette nähtud stardiabi kokkusobivuse tingimused on kumulatiivsed, tuleks selleks, et hinnata lennuettevõtjale antud abi siseturuga kokkusobimatuks, tõendada ainult seda, et üks tingimustest on täitmata.
According to Section 5.1.2(f) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, when assessing the compatibility of operating aid, account will be taken of distortions of competition and the effects on trade.
Asjaomase abimeetme kokkusobivuse hindamiseks uurib komisjon sellegipoolest mitut 2005. aasta lennundussuunistes esitatud kriteeriumi.
An indication of potential competition distortions or effects on trade may be the fact that the airport is located in the same catchment area as another airport with spare capacity.
2005. aasta lennundussuuniste punkti 79 alapunkti c kohaselt seisneb üks abi kokkusobivuse tingimus selles, et seda eraldatakse ainult uute lennuliinide või lisalendude avamiseks.
In the present case, the Commission observes that the closest airport is Leipzig-Halle airport, which is located 85 km and 1h 10 min by car from AOC.
2010. aasta leping hõlmab igapäevast lennuliini Londonisse, mis oli olemas alates 2003. aastast, ja 2007. aastal avatud lennuliini Gironasse.
As stated in recitals 300 and 301, the business model of Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH set out from the outset to position the airport as a regional airport aimed at developing the nearby industrial area.
2010. aastal avati ainult lennuliin Alicantesse.
Even if the 2007 Klophaus prognosis had been realised, the airport would have reached 500000 passengers by 2015, which would still not have placed it in a position to compete with an airport with over two million passengers like Leipzig-Halle airport.
Seetõttu ei täida siinkäsitletav abimeede seda kriteeriumi.
In order to further limit the negative effects on competition and trade, Germany points out that AOC's infrastructure was open to all potential users and was not dedicated to one specific user.
2005. aasta lennundussuuniste punkti 79 alapunktis d nõutakse elujõulisust kindla aja jooksul ja abi järkjärgulist kahanemist:
In view of the above, the Commission considers that the undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States are limited to the minimum.
Seda kinnitab asjaolu, et Ryanair loobus liinidest, kui avaliku sektori poolne rahastamine lõppes.
In view of the above, the Commission concludes that the financing of operating losses of Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH in 2000-2011 is compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU, and in the light of the compatibility conditions laid down in Section 5.1.2 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines.
2005. aasta lennundussuuniste punkti 79 alapunktiga e lisandub stardiabiga seotud lisakulutuste hüvitamise kriteerium:
Airport charges and payments to Ryanair under the combination of the 2003 airport services agreement, the 2003 marketing agreement and the 2010 marketing agreement
„abi summa peab olema rangelt seotud stardiabiga seotud lisakulutustega, mis on seotud uue liini või uue sageduse loomisega ning mida lennuettevõtjal tegevuse tavataseme saavutamisel enam kanda ei tule”.
Germany claims that the airport services contract and the marketing services agreements do not constitute State aid and therefore Germany does not provide any legal basis for potential compatibility with the internal market.
Abi ei näi olevat seotud eriliste stardiabiga seotud kulutustega.
Under these circumstances, it can be concluded that the aid is incompatible with the internal market given that the burden of proof of the compatibility of aid with the internal market, by way of derogation from Article 107(1) TFEU, is borne principally by the Member State concerned, which must show that the conditions for that derogation are satisfied.
Turundusmakseid Ryanairile jätkati kogu perioodi jooksul, mil lennujaam oli lennuettevõtjaga ärisuhtes.
Moreover, the Commission considers that the State aid in question cannot be considered compatible start-up aid under the relevant rules.
Seetõttu ei ole ka see kriteerium täidetud.
Applicable legal framework
Lõpuks ei tohi abi punkti 79 punkti f kohaselt ületada igal aastal 50 % selle aasta rahastamiskõlblike kulude summast.
As regards start-up aid, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines state that
Puuduvad tõendid selle kohta, et tegelikud turunduskulud oleksid ulatunud kahekordse abisummani.
‘the Commission will apply the principles set out in these guidelines to all notified start-up aid measures in respect of which it is called upon to take a decision from 4 April 2014, even where the measures were notified prior to that date.
Kokkuvõttes ei saa Ryanairile ja AMSile antud abi pidada siseturuga kokkusobivaks stardiabiks, sest kokkusobivuse tingimused ei ole täidetud.
In accordance with the Commission notice on the determination of the applicable rules for the assessment of unlawful State aid, the Commission will apply to unlawful start-up aid to airlines the rules in force at the time when the aid was granted.
Ryanairile ja AMSile 3. märtsi 2003. aasta lennujaamateenuste lepingu, 7. aprilli 2003. aasta turunduslepingu ja 25. jaanuari 2010. aasta turunduslepingu raames antud riigiabi kujutab endast seetõttu ebaseaduslikku siseturuga kokkusobimatut riigiabi, mis tuleb sisse nõuda.
Accordingly, it will not apply the principles set out in these guidelines in the case of unlawful start-up aid to airlines granted before 4 April 2014.’ [170]
KOKKUVÕTE
The 2005 Aviation Guidelines, in turn, stipulate that
MEEDE:
‘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 TFEU], 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.’
TARISTUINVESTEERINGUTE RAHASTAMINE AASTATEL 2000–2011
Compatibility assessment for the contract concluded on 25 January 2010, combined with the airport services contract concluded on 3 March 2003 and the marketing agreement concluded on 7 April 2003
Komisjon on seisukohal, et Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH-le taristuinvesteeringute rahastamise teel terve ajavahemiku 2000–2011 jooksul antud abi on siseturuga kokkusobiv.
The contract with AMS was concluded in 2010, after the publication of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
MEEDE:
The aid in question was granted by the 2010 marketing agreement, the effects of which come on top of the two agreements concluded in 2003, which — considered in isolation — do not constitute State aid.
FLUGPLATZ ALTENBURG-NOBITZ GMBH TEGEVUSKAHJUMI RAHASTAMINE AASTATEL 2000–2011
Consequently, the compatibility of the aid must be examined under the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
Komisjon on seisukohal, et Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH-le tegevuskahjumi rahastamise teel terve ajavahemiku 2000–2011 jooksul antud abi on siseturuga kokkusobiv.
Considering that the compatibility conditions for start-up aid enshrined in point 79 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines are cumulative, it should be only necessary to demonstrate that one of those conditions is not met in order to establish that the aid to the airlines is not compatible.
MEEDE:
Nevertheless, the Commission will review several criteria set out in the 2005 Aviation Guidelines to assess the compatibility of the aid measure in question.
RYANAIRIGA SÕLMITUD TEENUS- JA TURUNDUSLEPINGUD
Point 79(c) of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines specifies that, in order to be compatible, the aid should apply only to the opening of new routes or new schedules.
Komisjon on seisukohal, et 3. märtsi 2003. aasta lennujaamateenuste leping, 7. aprilli 2003. aasta turundusleping ja 28. augusti 2008. aasta turundusleping ei kujuta endast Ryanairile või AMSile antud riigiabi.
The 2010 agreement covers the daily route to London, which had existed since 2003, and the route to Girona, which was opened in 2007.
Komisjon leiab, et Saksamaa andis 3. märtsi 2003. aasta lennujaamateenuste lepingu, 7. aprilli 2003. aasta turunduslepingu ja 25. jaanuari 2010. aasta turunduslepingu kaudu ettevõtjale Ryanair Ltd. ja tema 100 % tütarettevõtjale AMSile ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3 rikkudes ebaseaduslikku abi.
Only the route to Alicante was opened in 2010.
2010. aastal toimunud lepingu allkirjastamise kaudu Ryanairi ja AMSiga ei olnud Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH-l võimalik varasemat aega arvestades katta kõiki Ryanairi tegevusega lennujaamas seotud lisanduvaid kulusid.
Therefore this criterion is not met by the aid measure in question.
Ryanair või AMS said abisummaga põhjendamatu eelise, mis tuleb Saksamaale tagastada.
Point 79(d) of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines requires the long-term viability and degressiveness of the measure in question:
Ryanairile või AMSile antud abi sissenõudmine
‘the route receiving the aid must ultimately prove profitable, i.e. it must at least cover its costs, without public funding.
ELi toimimise lepingu ja Euroopa Kohtu väljakujunenud praktika kohaselt võib komisjon juhul, kui ta leiab, et abi ei ole siseturuga kokkusobiv, otsustada, et asjaomane liikmesriik peab sellise abi andmise lõpetama või seda muutma [171].
For this reason start-up aid must be degressive and of limited duration’.
Riigi kohustus lõpetada sellise abi andmine, mida komisjon peab siseturuga kokkusobimatuks, on Euroopa Kohtu väljakujunenud praktika järgi kehtestatud selleks, et taastada varasem olukord [172].
There is no indication that the routes in question could become profitable for Ryanair without the public funding under the marketing agreements.
Sellega seoses on Euroopa Kohus leidnud, et see eesmärk on saavutatud, kui abisaaja on ebaseadusliku abina saadud summad tagasi maksnud ja seega loobunud eelisest, mis tal turul konkurentide ees oli, ja kui on taastatud abi väljamaksmisele eelnenud olukord [173].
This is confirmed by the fact that Ryanair gave up the routes when public funding ended.
Kooskõlas selle kohtupraktikaga on nõukogu määruse (EÜ) nr 659/1999 [174] artiklis 14 sätestatud: „Kui ebaseadusliku abi korral tehakse negatiivne otsus, nõuab komisjon, et kõnealune liikmesriik peab võtma kõik vajalikud meetmed, et abisaajalt abi tagasi saada”.
Point 79(e) of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines adds the criterion of the compensation for additional start-up costs:
Sel põhjusel tuleb nimetatud riigiabi selle väljamakstud ulatuses Saksamaale tagastada.
‘the amount of aid must be strictly linked to the additional start-up costs incurred in launching the new route or frequency and which the air operator will not have to bear once it is up and running’.
Tagasimakstavate summade puhul võtab komisjon arvesse punkti 8.1.3 tabelis 19 esitatud eelnevaid äriplaane järgmiste lisakaalutluste alusel:
The aid does not appear to be related to specific start-up costs.
sissenõutav abisumma peaks vastama negatiivsele lisanduvale rahavoole, mis oli olemas ajal, kui tehti otsus leping allkirjastada.
Marketing payments to Ryanair continued throughout the entire period that the airport did business with the airline.
Negatiivne rahavoog vastab rahaliste vahendite summale, mis on vajalikud, et leping muutuks turutingimustele vastavaks.
Therefore this criterion is also not fulfilled.
komisjon on seisukohal, et kõnealuse äriplaani ajalise raamistikuna tuleb arvesse võtta 2010. aasta suvehooaega.
Finally, under point 79(f), the amount of aid in any one year may not exceed 50 % of eligible costs for that year.
Lennuettevõtja saadud tegelik eelis on tegelikult piiratud asjaomase lepingu tegeliku perioodiga, sest niipea kui leping lõpetati, ei saanud Ryanair ega AMS enam lennujaamalt eeliseid.
There is no evidence that actual spending on marketing would have amounted to twice the amount of the aid.
Tabelis 20 on esitatud tulemused seoses Saksamaa poolt sisse nõutavate esialgsete summadega.
In conclusion, the aid to Ryanair and AMS cannot be found to constitute compatible start-up aid, as the compatibility conditions are not met.
Lennuettevõtja ja tema tütarettevõtjate poolt 3. märtsi 2003. aasta lennujaamateenuste lepingu, 7. aprilli 2003. aasta turunduslepingu ja 25. jaanuari 2010. aasta turunduslepingu raames tegelikult saadud eelise arvessevõtmiseks võib tabelis 20 märgitud summasid Saksamaa edastatud tõendite ja dokumentide alusel veel kohandada.
The State aid granted to Ryanair and AMS under the combination of the airport services agreement of 3 March 2003, the marketing agreement of 7 April 2003 and the marketing agreement of 25 January 2010 therefore constitutes unlawful and incompatible State aid that has to be recovered.
Kohandamise aluseks tuleb võtta i) ühelt poolt hiljem esitatud, lennuettevõtja poolt seoses lennujaamatasudega tehtud tegelike maksete ja teiselt poolt tabelis 19 märgitud (eelnevalt) prognoositud rahavoogude vahesumma nende tulupositsioonide puhul ja ii) ühelt poolt hiljem esitatud, turunduslepingu raames lennuettevõtjale ja tema tütarettevõtjatele tehtud tegelike turundusmaksete ja teiselt poolt eelnevalt ette nähtud, tabelis 19 märgitud summadele vastavate turunduskulude vahesumma.
CONCLUSION
Nagu põhjenduses 212 on juba selgitatud, on komisjon seisukohal, et riigiabi eeskirjade kohaldamise eesmärgil tuleb AMSi ja Ryanairi vaadelda ühe ettevõtjana.
MEASURE 1:
Ryanair ja AMS peaksid seetõttu vastutama solidaarselt kogu 3. märtsi 2003. aasta lennujaamateenuste lepingu, 7. aprilli 2003. aasta turunduslepingu ja 25. jaanuari 2010. aasta turunduslepingu raames saadud abi tagasimaksmise eest.
FINANCING OF INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS IN THE YEARS 2000-2011
Peale selle on Saksamaa kohustatud vastavalt komisjoni määruse (EÜ) nr 794/2004 [175] V peatükile lisama abisummale alates päevast, mil ebaseaduslik abi selle saaja käsutusse anti, kuni selle sissenõudmise päevani arvestatud intressid [176].
The Commission considers that the aid provided to Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH in the form of financing of infrastructure investments throughout the 2000-2011 period is compatible with the internal market.
Kuna käesoleval juhul on abisummadele vastavad rahavood keerukad ja kõikusid kogu 3. märtsi 2003. aasta lennujaamateenuste lepingu, 7. aprilli 2003. aasta turunduslepingu ja 25. jaanuari 2010. aasta turunduslepingu kehtivusaja jooksul, on komisjoni seisukohast vastuvõetav eeldada intresside arvutamisel, et abi väljamaksmise hetk on IATA 2010. aasta suvehooaja lõpp (st 30. oktoober 2010).
MEASURE 2:
Tabel 20

The Commission considers that the aid provided to Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz in the form of financing of operating losses throughout the 2000-2011 period is compatible with the internal market.
2010. aasta suvehooaeg
MEASURE 3:
SISSENÕUTAV SUMMA
RYANAIR SERVICES AND MARKETING AGREEMENTS
ON VASTU VÕTNUD KÄESOLEVA OTSUSE:
The Commission considers that the combination of the airport services agreement of 3 March 2003, the marketing agreement of 7 April 2003 and the marketing agreement of 28 August 2008 does not constitute State aid to Ryanair/AMS.
Artikkel 1
The Commission finds that Germany, through the combination of the airport services agreement of 3 March 2003, the marketing agreement of 7 April 2003 and the marketing agreement of 25 January 2010, provided unlawful aid to Ryanair and its wholly owned subsidiary AMS, in breach of Article 108(3) TFEU.
Riigiabi, mida Saksamaa Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3 rikkudes aastatel 2000–2011 Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH-le taristuinvesteeringute rahastamise teel aastatel 2000–2011 ebaseaduslikult andis, on siseturuga kokkusobiv.
By signing the agreement in 2010 with Ryanair and AMS, Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH could not, from an ex ante point of view, cover all the incremental costs linked to Ryanair's activities at the airport.
Riigiabi, mida Saksamaa Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3 rikkudes aastatel 2000–2011 Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH-le tegevuskahjumi rahastamise teel aastatel 2000–2011 ebaseaduslikult andis, on siseturuga kokkusobiv.
An undue advantage was conferred on Ryanair/AMS in the form of an amount of aid which must be reimbursed to Germany.
3. märtsil 2003 Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH ja Ryanairi vahel sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste leping koos 7. aprillil 2003 Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH ja Ryanairi vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste lepingu ja 28. augustil 2008 Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH ja AMSi vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste lepinguga ei kujuta endast abi.
Recovery of the aid provided to Ryanair/AMS
Riigiabi, mida Saksamaa Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3 rikkudes 3. märtsil 2003 Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH ja Ryanairi vahel sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste lepingu, 7. aprillil 2003 Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH ja Ryanairi vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste lepingu ning 25. jaanuaril 2010 Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH ja AMSi vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste lepingu kaudu Ryanairile või AMSile ebaseaduslikult andis, on siseturuga kokkusobimatu.
In accordance with the TFEU and the settled case-law of the Court of Justice, the Commission is competent to decide that the Member State concerned must abolish or alter aid [171] when it has found that it is incompatible with the internal market.
Artikkel 2
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 restore the previously existing situation [172].
Saksamaa nõuab artikli 1 lõikes 4 nimetatud kokkusobimatu abi abisaajatelt sisse.
In this 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 [173].
Võttes arvesse, et Ryanair ja AMS kujutavad endast käesoleva otsuse mõttes ühte majandusüksust, vastutavad nad kumbki omal jõul 3. märtsi 2003. aasta lennujaamateenuste lepingu, 7. aprilli 2003. aasta turunduslepingu ning 25. jaanuari 2010. aasta turunduslepingu omavahel seotud kohaldamise kaudu saadud riigiabi tagastamise eest ühiselt.
Following that case-law, Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 [174] 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’.
Sissenõutavatelt summadelt arvestatakse intressi alates kuupäevast, mil need anti abisaaja käsutusse, kuni nende tegeliku tagasimaksmiseni.
Therefore, the State aid mentioned above must be reimbursed to Germany, in so far as it has been paid out.
Intressid arvutatakse liitintressina vastavalt määruse (EÜ) nr 794/2004 V peatükile.
Regarding the amounts to be recovered, the Commission will consider the ex ante business plan set out in Section 8.1.3, Table 19, with the following additional considerations:
Saksamaa tühistab kõik artikli 1 lõikes 4 nimetatud abi tasumata maksed alates käesoleva otsuse vastuvõtmise kuupäevast.
The aid amount to be recovered should correspond to the negative incremental cash flow at the time when the decision was taken to sign the agreement.
Artikkel 3
The negative cash flow corresponds to the amount of financing needed for the agreement to be market-compliant.
Artikli 1 lõikes 4 nimetatud abi nõutakse sisse viivitamata ja tõhusalt.
The Commission considers that the time-frame to take into consideration for this business plan is the 2010 summer season.
Saksamaa tagab käesoleva otsuse rakendamise nelja kuu jooksul alates selle teatavakstegemise kuupäevast.
Indeed, the effective advantage conferred on the airline is limited to the effective duration of the agreement in question, as once this agreement was terminated Ryanair/AMS did not benefit from any more advantages from the airport.
Artikkel 4
Results showing the indicative amount to be recovered by Germany from Ryanair/AMS are indicated in Table 20.
Kahe kuu jooksul pärast käesoleva otsuse teatavakstegemist esitab Saksamaa järgmise teabe:
To take into account the actual advantage conferred on the airline and its subsidiaries under the combination of the airport services agreement of 3 March 2003, the marketing agreement of 7 April 2003 and the marketing agreement of 25 January 2010, the amounts indicated in Table 20 may still be adjusted in accordance with the supporting evidence provided by Germany.
abisaajate saadud abi kogusumma (põhisumma ja intressid);
This adjustment is based on:
abisaajatelt vastavalt artiklile 2 sissenõutav kogusumma (põhisumma ja intressid);
the difference between, on the one hand, actual payments as presented ex post that were made by the airline with regard to the airport charges, and on the other hand, the forecast cash flows (ex ante) on these items of income shown in Table 19; and (ii) the difference between, on the one hand, the actual marketing payments as presented ex post which were paid to the airline or its subsidiaries under the marketing agreement and, on the other hand, the marketing costs as specified ex ante corresponding to the amounts indicated in Table 19.
käesoleva otsuse täitmiseks juba võetud ja kavandatavate meetmete üksikasjalik kirjeldus;
As explained at recital 212, the Commission considers that, for the purpose of the application of State aid rules, AMS and Ryanair are considered to be a single undertaking.
dokumendid, millest nähtub, et abisaajatele on antud korraldus abi tagasi maksta.
Therefore, Ryanair and AMS are jointly and severally liable for the entire reimbursement of the aid received under the combination of the airport services agreement of 3 March 2003, the marketing agreement of 7 April 2003 and the marketing agreement of 25 January 2010.
Saksamaa teavitab komisjoni käesoleva otsuse rakendamiseks võetud meetmete elluviimisest, kuni artiklis 2 nimetatud abi on tagasi makstud.
In addition, in accordance with Chapter V of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 [175], Germany has to add to the aid amount recovery interest, calculated from the date on which the unlawful aid was available to the beneficiary up to the date of its recovery [176].
Komisjoni taotlusel esitab Saksamaa viivitamata teabe käesoleva otsuse täitmiseks juba võetud ja kavandatavate meetmete kohta.
Since in the case in question the cash flows corresponding to the aid amounts are complex and were paid (at different dates) throughout the application of the combination of the airport services agreement of 3 March 2003, the marketing agreement of 7 April 2003 and the marketing agreement of 25 January 2010, the Commission deems it acceptable to assume for the calculation of the recovery interests that the time of payment of the aid is the end of the 2010 IATA summer season (i.e. 30 October 2010),
Lisaks edastab Saksamaa üksikasjalikud andmed abisaajatelt juba tagasi saadud abisummade ja intresside kohta.
