All the State aid identified in this assessment is operating aid in so far as it was intended to finance the operation of Nîmes airport, and not specific investments made within that airport.
Eriotstarbelise riikliku toetuse näol, mis sätestati ettevõtja Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes kasuks lõikes 3 osutatud lepingu lisalepinguga nr 4, on tegemist riigiabiga Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
All this operating aid was granted unlawfully before 4 April 2014, which was the date of entry into force of the new Guidelines, in which the Commission declared that it would apply the principles set out in those guidelines to all ongoing cases concerning operating aid to airports, even if that aid was granted before 4 April 2014.
Lõikes 3 osutatud kokkuleppe lisalepingu nr 2 näol ei ole tegemist riigiabiga Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
According to the new Guidelines, operating aid granted to airports before 4 April 2014 may be declared compatible to the full extent of uncovered operating costs provided that a series of conditions is met.
Lõikes 3 osutatud kokkuleppe lisalepinguga nr 4 sätestatud taristutoetuste näol ei ole tegemist riigiabiga Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
These conditions may be summarised as follows:
Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskojale ja ettevõtjale Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes võimaldatud toetuste näol, mille puhul kohaldati Prantsusmaal kasutatavat süsteemi riiklike ülesannete rahastamiseks lennujaamades, ei ole tegemist riigiabiga Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.

Prantsusmaa tühistab kõik artiklis 1 osutatud abi väljamaksmata maksed alates käesoleva otsuse vastuvõtmise kuupäevast.
Contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest
Artikkel 5
In so far as this aid financed Nîmes airport’s operating deficit, it allowed the airport to continue operating.
Artiklis 1 osutatud abi nõutakse tagasi viivitamata ja tõhusalt.
As underlined by France, this airport’s activity has a positive impact on the economic development of the Gard department, particularly in the tourism sector.
Prantsusmaa tagab, et käesolev otsus viiakse ellu nelja kuu jooksul alates selle teatavakstegemisest.
Local economic development is recognised by the new Guidelines as an objective of common interest that could have justified operating aid being granted to an airport before 4 April 2014, if certain conditions were met.
Artikkel 6
With regard to the tourism sector, it is undeniable that Nîmes airport serves a tourist region and that the scheduled flights offered by Ryanair to this airport since 2000 have brought significant flows of tourists into the Nîmes region.
Kahe kuu jooksul alates käesoleva otsuse teatavakstegemisest edastab Prantsusmaa komisjonile järgmise teabe:
For example, the aforementioned 2006 study on the economic impact of Nîmes airport states that, for 2006 alone, the tourists carried to Nîmes airport spent EUR 100 million in the local economy, including EUR 21 million on accommodation, EUR 26 million on meals, EUR 20 million on other food purchases, EUR 9 million on transport (excluding air transport), EUR 4 million on visits and EUR 6 million on souvenirs.
artikli 4 kohaselt tagasinõutavate abisummade suurus;
The economic impact indirectly resulting from the airport’s activities (i.e. the effect on the rest of the local economy) is estimated in that study at EUR 2,38 billion, taking account of the investment effect.
tagasinõudmisega seotud intresside arvutamine;
Furthermore, this 2006 study indicates that 2200 jobs were directly linked to the airport’s activities.
käesoleva otsuse täitmiseks juba võetud ja kavandatud meetmete üksikasjalik kirjeldus;
Accordingly, until the closure of the airbase in July 2011, this brought numerous families into the Nîmes area (over 800 children of military personnel attended school in the Gard department).
dokumendid, mis tõendavad, et abisaajatele on antud korraldus abi tagasi maksta.
The presence of both the airbase and civilian aviation activity also allowed an aviation-related industrial hub to develop at the airport site.
Prantsusmaa teavitab komisjoni järjekindlalt käesoleva otsuse rakendamiseks võetud riiklike meetmete elluviimisest seni, kuni artiklis 1 osutatud abi on täielikult tagasi makstud.
This hub encompasses activities such as:
Prantsusmaa esitab viivitamata, komisjoni esimesel nõudmisel, kogu teabe käesoleva otsuse täitmiseks juba võetud ja kavandatud meetmete kohta.
GHSC (Groupement d’Hélicoptères de la Sécurité Civile), which is simultaneously the command centre for the 22 permanent and operational civil security bases spread throughout the mainland and the overseas departments, a maintenance centre for the Ministry of the Interior’s helicopter fleet, and a staff training and continuous pilot training centre (number of staff at the site: 140),
Samuti esitab ta üksikasjalikud andmed abisaajatelt juba tagasi saadud abisummade ja intresside kohta.
Sabena Technics (TAT group): a civil and military aviation maintenance services company (number of staff at the site: 336),
Artikkel 7
AVDEF: Aviation Défense Service (EADS group), which is active in on-demand public transport and medical evacuation services, aerial work for the armed forces and forest firefighting (number of staff at the site: 51),
Käesolev otsus on adresseeritud Prantsuse Vabariigile.
Airways Formation: pilot school, with an air transport arm that covers all the training needed to join an airline, and an instructors arm preparing for all the instructor qualifications laid down by law (number of staff at the site: 11).
Brüssel, 23. juuli 2014
In total, according to France, the industrial hub generated 680 civilian jobs in 2012, to which over 3000 indirect jobs generated by the airport’s activity can be added.
Komisjoni nimel
France also indicates that, in order to compensate for the closure of the airbase, it was decided to create a business zone of over 140 ha right next to Nîmes airport, at the heart of an economic area of over 500 ha.
Joaquín Almunia
Apparently, 85 ha were made available for a business cluster focusing on risk management and ecoconstruction, to complement the existing aviation maintenance and service activities.
Alates 1. detsembrist 2009 muutusid Euroopa Ühenduse asutamislepingu artiklid 87 ja 88 vastavalt Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikliteks 107 ja 108.
This business cluster, adjacent to Nîmes airport’s industrial hub, was seemingly the first one in Languedoc-Roussillon’s second largest town and forms one of its main regional hubs.
Sätted on sisult identsed.
It apparently plays host to 100 undertakings providing 2000 jobs.
Käesolevas otsuses tuleb viiteid Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artiklitele 107 ja 108 käsitada vajaduse korral vastavalt viidetena EÜ asutamislepingu artiklitele 87 ja 88.
The aid in question therefore made a significant contribution to local economic development.
Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepinguga tehti terminoloogiasse teatavaid muudatusi: „ühendus” asendati „liiduga”, „ühisturg” „siseturuga” ja „Esimese Astme Kohus” „Üldkohtuga”.
However, according to the new Guidelines, where an airport is located in the same catchment area as another airport with spare capacity, the business plan, based on sound passenger and freight traffic forecasts, must identify the likely effect on the traffic of the other airport located in that catchment area.
Käesolevas otsuses kasutatakse Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu terminoloogiat.
It is clear from the comments made by France in this regard that the CCI-Airport and VTAN expected that the Nîmes traffic would not have a significant impact on the traffic observed at Marseille, Avignon and Montpellier airports.
EÜT L 240, 24.8.1992, lk 8.
In particular, the CCI took the view that these three airports were not located in the Nîmes catchment area.
ELT C 241, 10.8.2012, lk 11.
It can therefore be concluded that the likely effect of the Nîmes traffic on the neighbouring airports was taken into account.
Vt joonealune märkus 3.
Although the Commission does not agree with the Operators about the presence of different catchment areas, it considers that the impact of the aid in question on the neighbouring airports was not such as to offset the contribution of the aid to the objective of common interest in question, or to substantially compromise the operating conditions of the neighbouring airports.
Komisjoni teatis „Suunised lennujaamadele ja -ettevõtjatele antava riigiabi kohta” ( ELT C 99, 4.4.2014, lk 3).
Need for state intervention and appropriateness of the aid as a policy instrument
ELT C 113, 15.4.2014, lk 30.
The aid paid in the form of repayable advances and operating subsidies was necessary to ensure the economic equilibrium of Nîmes airport’s operation, and consequently its continued operation.
12. novembri 1986. aasta ajutise kasutamise luba.
Furthermore, according to the new Guidelines, ‘Therefore, under present market conditions, smaller airports may have difficulties in ensuring the financing of their operation without public funding’.
31. jaanuari 2006. aasta ministeeriumidevaheline määrus.
The new Guidelines also indicate that airports with up to 700000 passengers per annum may not be able to cover their operating costs to a large extent.
Prantsuse ametiasutused täpsustavad, et ühisametiühingu õiguslik vorm, mis on sätestatud kohalike omavalitsuste üldseadustiku artikliga L-5721 ja järgnevate artiklite ning artikli R 5721-1 ja järgnevate artiklite sätetega, võimaldab eeskätt kohalikel omavalitsustel ja teistel avalikel asutustel ühineda, et kasutada kõigile neile huvipakkuvaid avalikke teenuseid.
Nîmes airport is indeed a small airport as its traffic did not exceed 320000 passengers during the 1999-2011 period.
SMANi juhib ametiühingukomitee, mis moodustatakse ühingusse kuuluvate liikmete esindajatest.
As a result, state intervention to ensure the economic equilibrium of Nîmes airport, and consequently its continued operation, was necessary during the 2000-2011 period.
Komiteesse kuulub 5 CGG esindajat, 7 CANMi esindajat ja 3 CAAC esindajat.
According to the new Guidelines, it should be examined whether other policy instruments or aid instruments could have been used and would have been less distortive of competition.
9. detsembri 2005. aasta otsus SMANi asutamise kohta.
As already indicated, the airport recorded a very large operating deficit every year during the 2002-2011 period.
31. jaanuari 2006. aasta avaliku teenindamise delegeerimise leping.
In order to keep it operating, it was therefore difficult, in this context, to envisage any instruments other than non-repayable operating subsidies, such as the exceptional operating subsidies, flat-rate contribution and specific public contribution, and interest-free repayable advances without a specific repayment deadline.
Ametiühingukomitee 30. juuni 2011. aasta otsus.
Incentive effect and proportionality of the aid
Kaitseministeeriumi 30. juuni 2011. aasta otsus haldamise üleandmise kohta.
According to the new Guidelines, it should be ascertained whether, in the absence of the operating aid, the level of economic activity of the airport would have been significantly reduced and whether, in addition, the aid was limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
30. juunil 2011 riigi ja SMANi vahel sõlmitud kokkuleppes on toodud SMANi käsutusse antavate varade loetelu ning on üksikasjad ajutise kasutamise loaga määratletud varade kohta, mille suhtes kehtivad või ei kehti kolmandate isikute õigused.
As explained previously, the arrival of the TGV as well as the departure of Air France in 2001, followed two years later by the withdrawal of Air Littoral, caused the number of flights to Nîmes airport to fall dramatically.
Riiginõukogu 20. mai 1998. aasta otsus „Syndicat des Compagnies aériennes autonomes” ( „Sõltumatute lennuettevõtjate ametiühing”) (SCARA).
Combined with the conditions of the agreements signed with Ryanair/AMS from 2002, these factors also seriously eroded the airport’s financial situation.
Hiljem kodifitseeritud üldise maksuseadustiku artiklisse 1609w.
As a result, in the absence of support measures intended to finance the airport’s operating deficit, its activity would have significantly reduced, if not completely halted.
Loomade hukkumine hõlmab eeskätt lindude hukkumist lennukite ja lindude kokkupõrkel, mis võib ohustada lennukite pardal olevate inimeste ja vara ohutust.
Furthermore, as explained below, the aid amounts were limited to the minimum necessary.
Selle ülesande täitmine võib näiteks hõlmata avaliku juurdepääsuga ala ja piiratud juurdepääsuga ala vaheliste piirete paigaldamist ja hooldust ning piiratud juurdepääsuga ala äärtele paigaldatavaid videovalvesüsteemide seadmeid.
The operating aid granted to the CCI-Airport was limited to the amounts needed to ensure the airport’s financial stability, without going beyond what was necessary.
Need meetmed hõlmavad eeskätt müravastaseid meetmeid, mille puhul võetakse vajaduse korral arvesse lennukite trajektoore, samuti ka õhu ja vee kvaliteedi kontrollimist lennujaamade ümbruses.
In so far as, without this aid, the CCI-Airport would have recorded a significant operating deficit every year, the airport’s activity would have needed to have been considerably reduced, if not completely halted, in order to ensure its financial stability.
Ülalpool kirjeldatud ülesanded, mille täitmist on võimalik lennujaamamaksu abil rahastada.
The aid therefore had an incentive effect within the meaning of point 124 of the new Guidelines.
Üldkulud on peaasjalikult seotud tugifunktsioonidega, nagu inimressursside haldus, finantstoimingud, finantskontroll, ostud, mittespetsiifilised infosüsteemid, õigustoimingud, üldteenused, juhtimine, raamatupidamine ja haldusjuhtimine.
As a result, with regard to the exceptional operating subsidies received in 2005, France has explained that the CCI’s 2005 budget was established on the basis of revenue and cost forecasts taking account of the traffic forecasts and that, given the airport’s programme, the 2005 forecasts apparently revealed a financing need of EUR [1-3] million.
1965. aasta kontsessioonilepingu artikkel 31.
This need corresponded to the difference between the forecast costs (EUR [4-6] million) and the forecast revenue (EUR [2-4] million).
Riigi ja SMANi vahel sõlmitud 1. veebruari 2006. aasta delegeerimislepingu artikkel 8.
However, the exceptional operating subsidies received by the CCI-Airport in 2005 totalled only EUR 1,35 million, well below the financing need of EUR [1-3] million.
Riigi ja SMANi vahel sõlmitud 1. veebruari 2006. aasta delegeerimislepingu preambul.
The shortfall of approximately EUR [600000-800000] was made up by the CCI, partly in the form of repayable advances.
Riigi ja SMANi vahel sõlmitud 1. veebruari 2006. aasta delegeerimisepingu artikkel 27.
Likewise, the exceptional operating subsidy of EUR 200000 received from the CCI’s general arm in 2006 covered only part of the operating deficit.
Riigi ja SMANi vahel sõlmitud 1. veebruari 2006. aasta delegeerimislepingu artikkel 29.
The decision of the CCI’s General Meeting of 14 December 2005 in fact shows that this exceptional operating subsidy stemmed from an agreement between the SMAN and the CCI, under which the latter undertook to cover only part of the airport’s operating deficit, limited to EUR 200000, with the rest being covered by the SMAN, as the new owner.
Prantsusmaa märkused menetluse algatamise otsuse kohta, punktid 8 ja 13.
The repayable advances granted by the CCI’s general arm stemmed from the obligation to present a balanced budget for the airport, which was imposed on the CCI by the concession agreement.
Prantsusmaa märkused menetluse algatamise otsuse kohta, punkt 8.
The amount of the advances was defined each year when the budget was prepared, in order to ensure its balance.
Konfidentsiaalne informatsioon.
The preparation of budgets for airports managed by chambers of commerce and industry is subject to strict procedures intended to ensure that public contributions used to balance the budget are limited to the minimum necessary.
Kaks esimest summat on toodud valdu ja valdade kohalikke omavalitsusi hõlmavas veerus.
Accordingly, Circular No 111 of 30 March 1992 laying down the accounting and financial budget rules applicable to chambers of commerce and industry provides for a precise procedure that particularly governs how the general arm of a chamber of commerce and industry must determine the budget for an airport’s operation.
See summa sisaldub eespool toodud tabeli veerus „Muu”.
This Circular in particular stipulates that the chamber of commerce and industry must determine, for the purposes of preparing the budget: (i) the state of operating transactions; (ii) the state of self-financing capacity; and (iii) the state of capital transactions.
Andmed pärinevad CCI lennujaama bilansi passivarealt „Ettevõtetevahelised ettemaksed”.
In addition, a number of documents have to be annexed to the budget proposal for approval (schedule of services provided and inter-organisation contributions, and schedule of employees and wage bills, etc.).
Prantsusmaa ametiasutuste 27. veebruari 2012. aasta kirja põhjal.
The aim of this procedure is particularly to ensure that the budget balances without overcompensation.
Alates 8. augustist 2006 nõudis CCI ettemaksete tasumist enam kui 9 miljoni euro ulatuses.
Consequently, the amounts of the repayable advances did not exceed what was necessary to finance the CCI-Airport’s operating deficit, bearing in mind the exceptional operating subsidies.
1965. aasta kontsessioonilepingu artikkel 46.
As a result, the operating aid received by the CCI-Airport had an incentive effect and was limited to the minimum necessary.
Avaliku teenindamise delegeerimise lepingu artiklid 1 ja 1a.
The operating aid granted to VTAN, which involved large amounts, was also necessary to ensure the airport’s financial stability.
Prantsusmaa märkused menetluse algatamise otsuse kohta, punkt 15.
Without this aid, VTAN would have recorded a significant operating deficit and the airport’s activity would have needed to have been considerably reduced, if not completely halted.
12. detsembri 2006. aasta avaliku teenindamise delegeerimise lepingu artikkel 25.
The flat-rate contribution, as originally determined, was calculated based on a provisional budget drawn up by Veolia Transport.
20. juuli 2010. aasta lisaleping nr 2.
According to this budget, in the ‘reference scenario’ the flat-rate contribution of EUR [1,2-1,5] million would allow VTAN to achieve net margins [of 0-5 % on average] throughout the term of the public service delegation.
Prantsusmaa 20. märtsi 2014. aasta kiri.
At the SMAN’s invitation, Veolia Transport also included a ‘downturn scenario’ corresponding to a reduction in activity, whereby the flat-rate contribution would drop to EUR [1,0-1,3] million.
Prantsusmaa märkused menetluse algatamise otsuse kohta, punkt 56.
In this scenario, VTAN would achieve net margins [of 0-5 % on average] throughout the term of the public service delegation.
28. novembri 2001. aasta, 11. detsembri ja 18. detsembri 2002. aasta, 21. ja 24. detsembri 2001. aasta, 2. ja 5. veebruari 2002. aasta ja 15. veebruari 2002. aasta kiri.
In the light of this information, the net margins expected by Veolia Transport seem reasonable, and the downturn scenario was included so that these margins would not unduly increase if there were a reduction in activity.
10. märtsi ja 16. märtsi 2004. aasta kiri.
The flat-rate contribution was therefore initially designed to be limited to the minimum necessary to ensure the financial stability of the airport and a reasonable profit for VTAN.
Prantsusmaa 25. aprilli 2014. aasta kiri.
Its subsequent amendments followed this logic.
„… including greater prominence and a stronger brand, alongside network externalities and repeat passenger”.
As a result, the increase in the flat-rate contribution made by Amendment No 1 corresponded to the unforeseen loss of revenue that had initially been taken into account by Veolia Transport in its previous estimates, whilst the increase resulting from Amendment No 3 corresponded to additional marketing expenditure incurred by VTAN that was not anticipated at the start.
Lennuliin Liverpooli, mida käitati ka kõnealusel ajal.
Moreover, VTAN’s profit and loss accounts observed ex post show that the flat-rate contribution did not exceed the minimum necessary, in that it did not lead to VTAN recording excessive profits.
Prantsusmaa selgitas, et liini käitamist ajavahemikul 2005–2012 ei katkestatud, kuid alati oli tegemist hooajalise liiniga.
In fact, according to Table 6 in the opening decision, VTAN’s net margin was actually negative throughout the 2007-2010 period.
Prantsusmaa rõhutab, et seda liini 27. augusti 2008. aasta turundusteenuste leping ei hõlma, kuna selle seisund oli ebakindel (kavandati selle liini käitamise lõpetamist), kuid tegelikult liin toimis ajavahemikul 2008–2011 madala lennusagedusega.
The specific public contribution implemented by Amendment No 4 to the CDSP was calculated based on a provisional budget reflecting VTAN’s new operating costs following the closure of the airbase.
Seega ei nähtud 2008. aasta turundusteenuste lepingus ette teenuse ostmist Ryanairi kodulehel selle lennuliini jaoks.
It was also stipulated that its amount would be readjusted ex post according to the results achieved, in order to avoid overpayments.
Seda liini käitati 2008–2010 ilma selle eest turundusteenuseid osutamata.
As a result, the operating aid received by VTAN had an incentive effect and was limited to the minimum necessary.
Vt joonealune märkus 42.
Assessment of distortions of competition and effects on trade
Prantsusmaa 26. mai 2014. aasta kiri.
According to the new Guidelines, when assessing the compatibility of operating aid granted before 4 April 2014, the Commission will take account of the distortions of competition and the effects on trade.
