In the light of these considerations, it can therefore be concluded that Frankfurt Hahn airport is already using most of its capacity and that the medium-term prospects for the use of the capacity were satisfactory.
Põhjendustes 238–255 esitatud kaalutlusi arvesse võttes järeldab komisjon, et kontsernkonto kaudu soodustingimustel eraldatud vahendid vastavad 2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punktis 137 tegevusabi jaoks sätestatud kokkusobivustingimustele ja on ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 3 punkti c alusel siseturuga kokkusobivad.
All potential users of the infrastructure have access to the airport on equal and non-discriminatory terms.
Komisjon märgib, et Saksamaa on nõus käesoleva otsuse vastuvõtmisega inglise keeles,
Indeed, the schedule of airport charges applicable at Frankfurt Hahn airport is publicly available and open to all potential and current users of the airport in a transparent and non-discriminatory manner.
ON VASTU VÕTNUD KÄESOLEVA OTSUSE:
Any differences in airport charges actually paid for the use of the infrastructure were based on commercially justified differentiation [86].
Artikkel 1
Hence, the Commission considers that this condition is satisfied.
Riigiabi, mille Saksamaa andis ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3 rikkudes ebaseaduslikult ettevõtjale Flughafen Frankfurt Hahn GmbH ajavahemikus 2009–2012 Rheinland-Pfalzi liidumaa ettevõtja Investitions- und Strukturbank antud laenudele 100 % riigigarantii andmisega ning Rheinland-Pfalzi liidumaa ettevõtja Investitions- und Strukturbank 31. augusti 2009. aasta laenuga summas 20 miljonit eurot ja 30. septembri 2009. aasta laenuga summas 6,8 miljonit eurot ning samuti võimaldades ettevõtjal Flughafen Frankfurt Hahn GmbH osaleda Rheinland-Pfalzi liidumaa kontsernkontos ja võtta selle kaudu soodustingimustel kuni 45 miljoni euro ulatuses laene, on siseturuga kokkusobiv.
According to point 39 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines the category of an airport can provide an indication of the extent to which airports are competing with one another and therefore also the extent to which public funding granted to an airport may distort competition.
Artikkel 2
Within the standard catchment area of Frankfurt Hahn airport (1 hour travelling time by car or 100 kilometres distance) there are no other commercially exploited airports.
Laenud, mille Rheinland-Pfalzi liidumaa ettevõtja Investitions- und Strukturbank andis ettevõtjale Flughafen Frankfurt Hahn GmbH ajavahemikus 15. juulist 2007 kuni 30. septembrini 2009 kogusummas 46,8 miljonit eurot, ei kujuta endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
Even if one were to extend the catchment area, the Commission considers that the aid does not create undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States.
Artikkel 3
As far as Frankfurt Main airport (the closest airport at around 115 kilometres distance and 1 hour 15 minutes travelling time) is concerned, the investments at Frankfurt Hahn airport did not result in negative substitution effects.
Käesolev otsus on adresseeritud Saksamaa Liitvabariigile.
In fact, before getting involved in Frankfurt Hahn airport, Fraport was already the operator of Frankfurt Main airport, but was nevertheless investing in Frankfurt Hahn airport with a view to decongesting Frankfurt Main airport, as a future capacity overload was foreseeable for that hub.
Brüssel, 1. oktoober 2014
In particular, the ban on night flights at Frankfurt Main airport was one of the main factors to be taken into consideration as Frankfurt Hahn airport had a 24-hour operating licence.
Komisjoni nimel
Even though Frankfurt Hahn experienced significant growth in the period from 2000 until 2007, Figure 1 shows that in comparison to Frankfurt Main the traffic share remained very limited.
Joaquín Almunia
From 2000 to 2003 Frankfurt Main airport experienced steady passenger growth from 48 million in 2000 to 54,2 million in 2007.
Alates 1. detsembrist 2009 muutusid EÜ asutamislepingu artiklid 87 ja 88 vastavalt Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikliteks 107 ja 108.
Due to the economic crisis, Frankfurt Main experienced a slight decrease to 50,9 million in 2009, followed by a rapid increase to 58 million.
Sätted on sisult identsed.
With regard to the freight activities, Frankfurt Main airport experienced steady growth from 1,6 to 2,2 million tonnes in 2013.
Käesolevas otsuses tuleb viiteid Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artiklitele 107 ja 108 käsitada vajaduse korral vastavalt viidetena EÜ asutamislepingu artiklitele 87 ja 88.
As for other airports, the Commission has already explained that the investments at Frankfurt Hahn airport had no significant impact on competition and trade between Member States [87].
Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepinguga tehti teatavaid muudatusi ka terminites, näiteks „ühendus“ asendati terminiga „liit“ ja „ühisturg“ terminiga „siseturg“.
This also applies to Zweibrücken airport, given that it is rather the latter that constitutes an unnecessary duplication of infrastructure (and would thus be responsible for any distortive effect on competition).
Käesolevas otsuses kasutatakse läbivalt Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu termineid.
In addition, contrary to Frankfurt Main and Luxembourg airports, Frankfurt Hahn airport is not served by a train connection.
ELT C 216, 21.7.2012, lk 1.
Overall, no substitution effect on rail transport can be expected.
Nõukogu 22. märtsi 1999. aasta määrus (EÜ) nr 659/1999, millega kehtestatakse üksikasjalikud eeskirjad Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 kohaldamiseks (EÜT L 83, 27.3.1999, lk 1).
In view of the considerations in recitals 223 to 228, the Commission considers that any undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States are limited to the minimum.
Vt joonealune märkus 2.
The Commission must establish whether the State aid granted to Frankfurt Hahn Airport has changed the behaviour of the beneficiary in such a way that it engaged in activity contributing to the achievement of the objective of common interest that (i) it would not have carried out without the aid; or (ii) it would have carried out in a more restricted or different manner.
Komisjoni teatis „Suunised lennujaamadele ja -ettevõtjatele antava riigiabi kohta“ ( ELT C 99, 4.4.2014, lk 3).
In addition, the aid is considered to be proportionate only if the same result could not be reached with less aid and less distortion.
EÜ asutamislepingu artiklite 92 ja 93 ning EMP lepingu artikli 61 kohaldamine lennundussektorile antava riigiabi korral (EÜT C 350, 10.12.1994, lk 5).
This means that the amount and intensity of the aid must be limited to the minimum needed for the aided activity to take place.
Ühenduse suunised lennujaamade rahastamise ja piirkondlikest lennujaamadest opereerivate lennuettevõtjate riikliku stardiabi kohta (ELT C 312, 9.12.2005, lk 1).
According to the information submitted by Germany, without the aid the investment could not have been realised.
ELT C 113, 15.4.2014, lk 30.
Germany submitted that the aid was necessary as it compensated only the costs of financing and a lower amount would have led to lower levels of investment.
Konfidentsiaalne teave.
Indeed, according to the financial results summarised in Table 3 and Table 4 the airport is still loss-making and not able to finance its investment costs.
„Fraport“ tähistab käesolevas otsuses edaspidi nii enne ettevõtja ärinime muutmist kasutatud nime „FAG“ kui ka hiljem kasutatud nime „Fraport AG“.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the aid was necessary to make investments in order to decongest the airport infrastructure and to meet the current requirements for modern airport infrastructure.
Ostulepingu 7. jao punkti 3 kohaselt võidakse seda summat vähendada, näiteks juhul, kui FFHG kulutused mürakaitsele ületavad teatavat ülemmäära.
Without the aid, Frankfurt Hahn airport would not have been able to meet the expected demand of airlines, passengers and freight forwarders and the level of the economic activity of the airport would have been reduced.
45,24 % Fraporti aktsiatest kuulus Hesseni liidumaale, 28,89 % ettevõtjale Stadtwerke Frankfurt am Main Holding GmbH (mis kuulus 100 % Maini-äärse Frankfurti omavalitsusele) ja 25,87 % Saksamaa Liitvabariigile.
It should also be noted that the public support was granted in a period when FFHG realised very significant investments into the infrastructure (more than EUR 220 million in 2001-2012).
Ryanair on Iiri lennuettevõtja ja Euroopa odavlennuettevõtjate liidu liige.
Of this amount, EUR 46 million were invested during the period under consideration (2009 to 2012).
Lennuettevõtja äritegevus on seotud teisejärguliste piirkondlike lennujaamadega.
It follows that the investment aid covered only a fraction of the overall investment costs and was limited to the difference between the interest rate paid for the funds and the market rate under which FFHG would have received those funds on the market.
Lennuettevõtja lendab praegu ligikaudu 160 Euroopa sihtkohta.
Also, the investment aid under consideration was granted in the form of a 100 % state guarantee and funds at preferential terms and not in the form of a direct grant.
Ryanairil on ühtne lennukipark, mis koosneb 189 istekohaga Boeing 737–800 tüüpi lennukitest.
The Commission therefore considers that the aid measure at stake had an incentive effect and that the amount of aid was limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place, and was thus proportionate.
Wizz Air on Ungari lennuettevõtja ja Euroopa odavlennuettevõtjate liidu liige.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concludes that the investment aid granted to Frankfurt Hahn airport is compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty as it complies with the compatibility conditions laid down in point 61 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
Wizz Airi kontsern koosneb kolmest tegutsevast ettevõtjast, nimelt Wizz Air Hungary, Wizz Air Bulgaria ja Wizz Air Ukraine.
Compatibility of operating aid pursuant to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines
Lennuettevõtja ärimudel on seotud teisejärguliste piirkondlike lennujaamadega.
Section 5.1 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines sets out the criteria that the Commission will apply in assessing the compatibility of operating aid with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Lennuettevõtja lendab praegu ligikaudu 150 Euroopa sihtkohta.
According to point 172 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission will apply those criteria to all cases concerning operating aid, including pending notifications and unlawful non-notified aid cases.
Wizz Airil on ühtne lennukipark, mis koosneb 180 istekohaga Airbus A 320 tüüpi lennukitest.
According to point 137 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, unlawful operating aid granted before the date of the publication of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines — like the funds granted from the cash-pool insofar as they may have constituted operating aid (see recitals 185 and 186) — may be declared compatible with the internal market to the full extent of uncovered operating costs provided that the following cumulative conditions are met:

Võttes arvesse omandistruktuuri.
According to Section 5.1.2(a) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, in order to give airports time to adjust to new market realities and to avoid any disruptions in the air traffic and connectivity of the regions, operating aid to airports will be considered to contribute to the achievement of an objective of common interest, if it: (i) increases the mobility of Union citizens and connectivity of regions by establishing access points for intra-Union flights; (ii) combats air traffic congestion at major Union hub airports; or (iii) facilitates regional development.
Vastab Standard & Poor'si reitinguskaalal reitingule [BB+ kuni B-].
In the light of the considerations in recitals 199 to 204, the Commission considers that the continued operation of Frankfurt-Hahn airport increased the mobility of Union citizens and connectivity of regions by establishing an access point for intra-Union flights in the Hunsrück region.
See reitingukategooria tähendab, et laenaja on […].
In addition, the continued operation of the airport facilitated the regional development of the Hunsrück region and the creation of new jobs.
Vastab Standard & Poor'si reitinguskaalal reitingule [BBB- kuni B].
Moreover, the operation and development of Frankfurt Hahn airport also served to decongest Frankfurt Main airport.
See reitingukategooria tähendab, et laenaja on […].
The Commission therefore concludes that the measure at stake meets a clearly defined objective of common interest.
Sellega seoses viitas Saksamaa otsusele kohtuasjas C-30/59: De gezamenlijke Steenkolenmijnen in Limburg vs. Ülemamet (EKL 1961, lk 3, 43).
Need for State intervention
Deutsche Bank, „Margen-Indikation für geplante Refinanzierung bestehender Verschuldung“, 3. september 2009.
According to Section 5.1.2(b) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, in order to assess whether State aid is effective in achieving an objective of common interest, it is necessary to identify the problem to be addressed.
Hinnangu „Margen-Indikation für geplante Refinanzierung bestehender Verschuldung“ punkt 3.2.1: „…, gehen wir von einer Einstufung der Gesellschaft im […]“.
In this respect, any State aid to an airport must be targeted towards a situation where aid can bring about a material improvement that the market cannot deliver itself.
Reitingukategooria [ < BBB+] hõlmab kõiki reitinguid, mis jäävad Standard & Poors'i reitinguskaalal allapoole reitingut [BBB+].
The Commission notes that Frankfurt Hahn airport is a regional airport with approximately 2,7 million passengers p.a.
Deutsche Bank ei ole FFHG korrigeeritud reitingut siiski esitanud.
It has high fixed operating costs and under present market conditions it is not able to cover its own operating costs.
See määr arvutatakse järgmiselt: [5–25] baaspunkti – riskimarginaal, mis makstakse liidumaade 5aastastelt eurovõlakirjadelt; sellele marginaalile lisandub [5–25] baaspunkti riigi omandisse kuuluva ettevõtjaga kaasneva kaudse riski tõttu ja [5–25] baaspunkti võla piiratud kaubeldavuse tõttu.
Therefore, there is a need for State intervention (see point 89 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines).

Appropriateness of the aid measures
See reiting vastab Standard & Poor'si reitinguskaalal reitingule [B kuni BB] (vt Rating-Broschüre Finanzstandort Deutschland, 2010, lk 18).
According to Section 5.1.2(c) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, any aid measure to an airport must be an appropriate policy instrument to address the objective of common interest.
See reiting vastab Standard & Poor'si reitinguskaalal reitingule [B- kuni BB-] (vt Rating-Broschüre Finanzstandort Deutschland, 2010, lk 18).
The Member State must, therefore, demonstrate that no other less distortive policy instruments or aid instruments could have allowed the same objective to be reached.
Komisjoni teatis EÜ asutamislepingu artiklite 87 ja 88 kohaldamise kohta garantiidena antava riigiabi suhtes (ELT C 155, 20.6.2008, lk 10).
According to Germany, the aid measures at stake are appropriate to address the intended objective of common interest that could not have been achieved by another less distortive policy instrument.
Deutsche Bank hindas kaht alternatiivset FFHG rahastamise stsenaariumi – üks ilma tagatiseta ja teine 100 % riigigarantiiga.
In this case the aid amount (the difference between the market rate for the funds provided by the cash-pool and the actual rate) stayed below the uncovered operating losses (see Table 4, Ebitda excluding the extraordinary revenue of the airport) actually incurred and was limited to the minimum necessary as it was granted only as a repayable loan and not as a direct grant.
Panga hinnangu kohaselt oleks esimesel juhul (ilma tagatiseta) 5aastase laenu kohaldatav riskimarginaal [1,30–2,05] % aastas.
No other policy measure would allow the airport to continue its operation.
Teisel juhul (garantii katab 100 % nõuetest) jääks kohaldatav riskimarginaal vahemikku [0,25–0,7] % aastas.
Hence, the compensation of losses is limited to the minimum and does not provide for any profits.
Kahe stsenaariumi marginaalide erinevus annab ettekujutuse garantii hinnast.
In view of recitals 244 and 245, the Commission considers that the measures at stake were appropriate to reach the desired objective of common interest.
Deutsche Banki hinnangul jääb see erinevus vahemikku [0,6–1,8] % aastas ([1,3 % – 0,7 % = 0,6 % ja 2,05 % – 0,25 % = 1,8 %]).

According to Section 5.1.2(d) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, operating aid has an incentive effect if it is likely that, in the absence of operating aid, the level of economic activity of the airport would be significantly reduced.

Without the aid the scale of the operations at Frankfurt Hahn airport would be severely impacted and reduced, leading eventually to the market exit of the airport due to uncovered operating losses.

In view of the above, the Commission considers that the aid measures at stake had an incentive effect.
Saksamaa 2014. aasta septembris esitatud andmed.
According to Section 5.1.2(e) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, in order to be proportionate, operating aid to airports must be limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
Komisjoni teatis „Ühenduse suunised raskustes olevate äriühingute päästmiseks ja ümberkorraldamiseks antava riigiabi kohta“ ( ELT C 244, 1.10.2004, lk 2).
In this case, the aid amount was limited to the extent of uncovered operating cost of capital, as it compensated only the costs actually incurred.

Therefore, the Commission considers that the amount of the operating aid in this case was proportionate and limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
(EKL 1997, lk I-7119).
According to Section 5.1.2(f) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, when assessing the compatibility of operating aid account will be taken of the distortions of competition and the effects on trade.

Within the standard catchment area of Frankfurt Hahn airport (1 hour travelling time by car or 100 kilometres distance) there are no commercially exploited airports.
Leipzig/Halle kohtuotsus, eelkõige punktid 93 ja 94, mida kinnitab otsus kohtuasjas C-288/11 P: Mitteldeutsche Flughafen ja Flughafen Leipzig-Halle vs. Euroopa Komisjon (2012) (ECLI:EU:C:2012:821); vt ka otsus kohtuasjas T-128/89: Aéroports de Paris vs. Euroopa Komisjon (EKL 2000, lk II-3929), mida kinnitavad otsus kohtuasjas C-82/01 P: Aéroports de Paris vs. Euroopa Ühenduste Komisjon (EKL 2002, lk I-9297) ja otsus kohtuasjas T-196/04 Ryanair Ltd vs. Euroopa Ühenduste Komisjon (Charleroi' kohtuotsus, EKL 2008, lk II-3643).
Even if this standard catchment area was to be further extended to other airports in the proximity of Frankfurt Hahn airport, as demonstrated in recitals 224 and 228, there are no undue negative effects on competition between the airports located in the proximity of Frankfurt Hahn airport (that is Frankfurt Main, Luxembourg and Saarbrücken airports).

In the light of the considerations in recitals 99 to 124, the Commission considers that the credit line provided by the cash-pool to FFGH by Land Rhineland-Palatinate constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Saksamaa 24. aprilli 2014. aasta kiri, vastus 4. küsimusele, lk 3.
In the light of the considerations in recitals 140 to 169, the Commission concludes that ISB loans numbers 1, 3 and 4 were granted at rates that can be deemed in line with market conditions.

Hence, given that the cumulative criteria in Article 107(1) of the Treaty are not fulfilled, the Commission considers that these loans do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
