The 2006 schedule of airport charges was not limited in time, hence it was sufficient for the airport operator to calculate the overall profitability of the 2006 schedule of airport charges for several consecutive years.
Abimeetmete asjakohasus
Moreover, FFHG could any time modify the schedule of airport charges, in the even it was proven that the revenue generated was insufficient to cover the incremental costs induced by the airlines using that schedule.
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punkti 5.1.2 alapunkti c kohaselt peab igasugune lennujaama suhtes kohaldatav abimeede olema ühist huvi pakkuva eesmärgi saavutamiseks asjakohane poliitikavahend.
Hence, the incremental costs of the 2006 schedule of airport charges were very limited and the FFHG expected to be able to better use its resources.
Saksamaa sõnul on vaatlusalused abimeetmed asjakohased, et saavutada ühist huvi pakkuv taotletav eesmärk, mida ei oleks olnud võimalik saavutada muu vähem moonutava poliitikavahendiga.
While the ex ante-analysis undertaken by FFHG and submitted by Germany did not discount the future payments to the date on which the 2006 schedule of airport charges was put into effect, it is clear that the schedule was expected to be profitable from the first year onwards.
Käesoleva juhtumi puhul vastas abisumma tegelikule katmata tegevuskahjumile (vt tabel 4) ja piirdus minimaalselt vajalikuga, sest see anti üksnes tegelikult tekkinud tegevuskahjumi ulatuses.
Moreover, given the high fixed costs and very limited incremental costs relating to the provision of services under the 2006 schedule of airport charges, those forecasts were not sensitive to the assumptions regarding the overall traffic development.
Ükski teine poliitikameede ei oleks võimaldanud lennujaamal oma tegevust jätkata.
In view of the conducted incremental profitability calculation, the Commission concludes that the introduction of 2006 schedule of airport charges was in line with the MEO principle, as it incrementally contributed, from an ex ante point of view, to the profitability of the airport.
Seega on kahjumi hüvitamisel piirdutud minimaalselt vajalikuga ja sellega ei ole saadud mingit kasumit.
In particular, all costs of the airport stemming from the introduction of the 2006 schedule of airport charges were covered by the revenues (both aeronautical and non-aeronautical activities) stemming from the introduction of that schedule, with a reasonable profit margin.
Põhjendusi 557 ja 558 arvesse võttes leiab komisjon, et vaatlusalused meetmed olid soovitud ühist huvi pakkuva eesmärgi saavutamiseks asjakohased.
Moreover, the costs directly attributable to individual agreements with specific airlines were reasonably expected to be exceeded by the revenues attributable to the presence of those airlines (see Section 8.2.5).
Ergutava mõju olemasolu
Hence, the 2006 schedule of airport charges could reasonably be expected (taking into account the prevailing market conditions at the time of its introduction) to contribute to the overall profitability of the airport in the long term.
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punkti 5.1.2 alapunkti d kohaselt on tegevusabil ergutav mõju, kui on tõenäoline, et tegevusabi puudumise korral langeks lennujaama majandustegevuse tase märkimisväärselt.
Thus, the Commission concludes that the 2006 schedule of airport charges does not confer an economic advantage on the airlines that they would not have obtained under normal market conditions.
Selle hindamise puhul tuleb arvesse võtta investeerimisabi olemasolu ja liikluse mahtu lennujaamas.
Moreover, it was open to all potential users of the airport on transparent and non-discriminatory terms.
Ilma abita oleks Frankfurt Hahni tegevuse ulatus oluliselt väiksem ja lennujaam oleks lõppkokkuvõttes sunnitud katmata tegevuskulude tõttu turult lahkuma.
Therefore, the 2006 schedule of airport charges does not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Seepärast leiab komisjon, et vaatlusalustel abimeetmetel oli ergutav mõju.
Pursuant to Article 108(3) of the Treaty, Member States must notify any plans to grant or alter aid, and must not put the proposed measures into effect until the notification procedure has resulted in a final decision.
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punkti 5.1.2 alapunkti e kohaselt peab lennujaamadele antav tegevusabi piirduma selleks, et olla proportsionaalne, abi saava tegevuse toimumiseks minimaalselt vajalikuga.
LEGAL ASSESSMENT — COMPATIBILITY OF AID
Seepärast leiab komisjon, et tegevusabi summa oli käesoleva juhtumi puhul proportsionaalne ja piirdus abi saava tegevuse toimumiseks minimaalselt vajalikuga.
THE APPLICABILITY OF THE 2014 AND 2005 AVIATION GUIDELINES
2014. aasta lennundussuuniste punkti 5.1.2 alapunkti f kohaselt võetakse tegevusabi siseturuga kokkusobivuse hindamisel arvesse konkurentsimoonutusi ja mõju kaubandusele.
Article 107(3) of the Treaty provides for certain exemptions to the general rule set out in Article 107(1) of the Treaty that State aid is not compatible with the internal market.
Frankfurt Hahni lennujaama standardses teeninduspiirkonnas (1 tund autosõitu või 100 km) ei asu ühtki teist kommertslennujaama.
In particular, Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty stipulates that: ‘aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest’, may be considered to be compatible with the internal market.
Isegi kui seda standardset teeninduspiirkonda laiendada, nii et see hõlmaks Frankfurt Hahni lennujaama naabruses asuvaid lennujaamu (Frankfurt Maini, Luxembourgi ja Saarbrückeni lennujaam), puudub põhjendamatu negatiivne mõju nende lennujaamade vahelisele konkurentsile, nagu on näidatud põhjendustes 537 ja 541.
In that regard, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines provide a framework for assessing whether aid to airports may be declared compatible pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Eespool öeldut arvesse võttes leiab komisjon, et FFHG-le antud tegevusabi mis tahes põhjendamatu negatiivne mõju konkurentsile ja liikmesriikidevahelisele kaubandusele on minimaalne.
According to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission considers that the Commission notice on the determination of the applicable rules for the assessment of unlawful State aid [124] applies to unlawful investment aid to airports.
Põhjendustes 551–568 esitatud kaalutlusi arvesse võttes järeldab komisjon, et meetmed on ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 3 punkti c alusel siseturuga kokkusobivad.
In that respect, if the unlawful investment aid was granted before 4 April 2014, the Commission will apply the compatibility rules in force at the time when the unlawful investment aid was granted.
LENNUJAAMA RAHASTAMINE
Accordingly, the Commission will apply the principles set out in the 2005 Aviation Guidelines in the case of unlawful investment aid to airports granted before 4 April 2014 [125].
meede: kasumi ja kahjumi ülekandmise 2001. aasta leping.
According to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission also considers that the provisions of the Commission notice on the determination of the applicable rules for the assessment of unlawful State aid should not apply to cases of illegal operating aid to airports granted prior to 4 April 2014.
Põhjendustes 291–302 esitatud kaalutlusi arvesse võttes järeldab komisjon, et ajal, mil tehti otsus sõlmida kasumi ja kahjumi ülekandmise 2001. aasta leping, võisid avalik-õiguslikud asutused õigustatult leida, et FFHG iga-aastast kahjumit kattev kahjumi ja kasumi ülekandmise leping ei kujutanud endast riigiabi.
Instead, the Commission will apply the principles set out in the 2014 Aviation Guidelines to all cases concerning operating aid to airports (pending notifications and unlawful non-notified aid) even if the aid was granted before 4 April 2014 and the beginning of the transitional period [126].
meede: kapitali suurendamine 2001. aastal.
The Commission has already concluded in recital 496 that the measures under assessment constitute unlawful State aid granted before 4 April 2014.
Fraporti ja Rheinland-Pfalzi liidumaa poolne kapitali suurendamine 2001. aastal 27 miljoni euro võrra kujutab endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
DISTINCTION BETWEEN INVESTMENT AND OPERATING AID
meede: kapitali suurendamine 2004. aastal, ning 4. meede: kasumi ja kahjumi ülekandmise 2004. aasta leping.
According to point 25(18) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, investment aid is defined as ‘aid to finance fixed capital assets; specifically, to cover the “capital costs funding gap”’.
Isegi kui tegemist oleks riigiabiga, võib seda abi lugeda ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 3 punkti c alusel siseturuga kokkusobivaks.
Moreover, according to that provision investment aid can relate both to an upfront payment (that is to say cover upfront investment costs) and to aid paid out in the form of periodic instalments (to cover capital costs, in terms of annual depreciation and costs of financing).
Rheinland-Pfalzi liidumaa ja Hesseni liidumaa poolne FFHG kapitali suurendamine 2004. aastal kujutab endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
Operating aid, on the other hand, means aid covering all or part of the operating costs of an airport, defined as ‘the underlying costs of the provision of airport services, including categories such as costs of personnel, contracted services, communications, waste, energy, maintenance, rent, administration, etc., but excluding the capital costs, marketing support or any other incentives granted to airlines by the airport, and costs falling within a public policy remit’ [127].
meede: FFHG-le turvakontrolli tegemise eest hüvitise maksmine, ning 6. meede: Rheinland-Pfalzi liidumaa otsetoetused.
In the light of those definitions, it can be considered that the capital increases and direct grants which were linked to investment projects constitute investment aid in favour of FFHG.
Komisjon leiab, et riigi vahendid, mis anti FFHG-le otsetoetustena pärast 12. detsembrit 2000, kujutavad endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
In contrast, the part of the annual loss transfers used to cover FFHG's annual operating losses [128] of FFHG, net of the costs included in the EBITDA that fall within the public policy remit as established in Section 8.1.4.1 constitute operating aid in favour of FFHG.
meede: omakapitali suurendamine.
Finally, the part of the annual loss transfers covering losses of FFHG that were not already included in the EBITDA (that is the annual depreciation of assets, costs of financing, etc.), minus costs falling within the public policy remit as established in Section 8.1.4.1, constitute investment aid.
Kuna omakapitali suurendamine oli mõeldud selleks, et rahastada taristumeetmeid, oli FFHG-l tänu avalik-õiguslike aktsionäride otsusele need investeeringud teha Saksamaa sõnul õigus need vahendid saada.
As explained earlier, it all cases only support granted after the Aéroports de Paris judgment on 12 December 2000 will be considered.
Seepärast leiab komisjon, et omakapitali suurendamise hindamisel tuleks arvesse võtta FFHG-le antud riigi toetust.
COMPATIBILITY OF THE INVESTMENT AID PURSUANT TO THE 2005 AVIATION GUIDELINES
Sellega seoses ja punktis 8.1.1 esitatud kaalutlusi arvesse võttes järeldab komisjon, et FFHG on tegelenud alates Aéroports de Paris' kohtuotsusest (12. detsember 2000) majandustegevusega ja kujutab endast ettevõtjat ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
According to point 61 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission must examine whether the following cumulative conditions are met:
Kuna meetmed on juba antud FFHG käsutusse või pöördumatult võetud, andes FFHG-le õiguse saada kõnealused vahendid, leiab komisjon, et Saksamaa ei ole kinni pidanud ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõikes 3 sätestatud keelust.
the construction and operation of the infrastructure meets a clearly defined objective of common interest (regional development, accessibility, etc.);
Põhjendusi 512–545 arvesse võttes järeldab komisjon, et Frankfurt Hahni lennujaamale antud investeerimisabi on ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 3 punkti c kohaselt siseturuga kokkusobiv, kuna see on kooskõlas 2005. aasta lennundussuuniste punktis 61 sätestatud kokkusobivustingimustega.
the infrastructure is necessary and proportional to the objective which has been set;
LEPINGUD RYANAIRIGA JA TASUMÄÄRAD
the infrastructure has satisfactory medium-term prospects for use, in particular as regards the use of existing infrastructure;
, 9. ja 10. meede: 1999., 2002. ja 2005. aasta Ryanairi lepingud.
all potential users of the infrastructure have access to it in an equal and non-discriminatory manner; and
Olles analüüsinud nimetatud lepinguid ja teavet, mis oli FFHG-le kättesaadav kõnealuste lepingute sõlmimise ajal, on komisjon nõus, et FFHG-l oli põhjust eeldada, et lepingud suurendavad Frankfurt Hahni lennujaama kasumlikkust, sest eeldatav lisatulu oli suurem kui eeldatavad lisakulud.
the development of trade is not affected to an extent contrary to the Union interest.
Kuna lepingud olid seega kooskõlas turumajanduse tingimustes tegutseva ettevõtja põhimõttega, ei antud nendega Ryanairile eelist.
In addition, State aid to airports — as any other State aid measure — must have an incentive effect and be necessary and proportional in relation to the aimed legitimate objective in order to be compatible.
ja 11. meede: 2001. ja 2006. aasta tasumäärad.
Germany submitted that the investment aid in favour of FFHG complies with all the compatibility criteria contained in the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
FFHG koostatud kasumlikkuse eelanalüüsi arvesse võttes leiab komisjon, et 2001. ja 2006. aasta tasumääradega ei antud lennuettevõtjatele eelist, mida nad ei oleks tavapärastes turutingimustes saanud.
The aid contributes to a clearly defined objective of common interest
Kuna üks ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 kumulatiivsetest kriteeriumidest ei ole täidetud, leiab komisjon, et Frankfurt Hahni lennujaama ja Ryanairi vahel sõlmitud 1999., 2002. ja 2005. aasta lepingud ning 2001. ja 2006. aasta tasumäärad ei kujuta endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
The investment aid in favour of FFHG aimed at financing the further conversion of the former US military base into a civilian airport and substantially developing the infrastructure of the airport.
Komisjon märgib, et Saksamaa on nõus käesoleva otsuse vastuvõtmisega vaid inglise keeles,
Those measures provided a significant contribution to the regional development and connectivity of the Hunsrück region, and the creation of new jobs in an area economically hit by the closure of the US military base as well as the decongestion of Frankfurt Main airport.
ON VASTU VÕTNUD KÄESOLEVA OTSUSE:
The Hunsrück region, as pointed out by Germany, is surrounded by a number of areas (such as Landkreis Birkenfeld), which were marked as regions in need of support in the framework of the ‘Gemeinschaftsaufgabe Verbesserung der regionalen Wirtschaftsstruktur’.
Artikkel 1
Indeed, in the period under consideration, Landkreis Birkenfeld was at least partly considered to be a region with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) below the Union average [129].
Riigiabi, mille Saksamaa andis ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3 rikkudes ebaseaduslikult ettevõtjale Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn GmbH ajavahemikus 2001–2012 kapitali suurendamisega 2001. aastal 27 miljoni euro võrra ja 2004. aastal 22 miljoni euro võrra ning Rheinland-Pfalzi liidumaa otsetoetustega (niivõrd, kuivõrd need toetused ei olnud seotud puhtalt avalike ülesannetega seotud tegevusega ja ei hõlmanud investeeringuid, mille tegemine oli lõplikult ära otsustatud enne 12. detsembrit 2000), on siseturuga kokkusobiv.
The Commission considers that the development of Frankfurt Hahn airport also contributed significantly to the creation of new jobs in the Hunsrück region.
Fraport AG poolne kapitali suurendamine 2004. aastal ning kasumi ja kahjumi ülekandmise 2004. aasta leping ei kujuta endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
As shown by Germany, taking into account all parts of the airport activities, Frankfurt Hahn airport created 3063 jobs in the Hunsrück region in 2012 out of which 74 % were full-time positions and 90 % of those employees also live in that region.
Artikkel 2
Moreover, the development of Frankfurt Hahn airport had also positive indirect, induced and catalysing effects on the creation of jobs in the region as well as regional development in general through an increasing number of economic and touristic activities.
Ryanairi ja ettevõtja Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn GmbH vaheline leping, mis jõustus 1. aprillil 1999, ei kujuta endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
According to the information provided by Germany, Frankfurt Hahn airport contributes significantly to the development of incoming (~ 33 % of passengers corresponding to approximately 1 million passengers in 2005) and outgoing tourism (~ 67 % of passengers) in the Land Rhineland-Palatinate.
Ryanairi ja ettevõtja Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn GmbH vaheline leping, mis sõlmiti 14. veebruaril 2002, ei kujuta endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
As pointed out by Germany, 88 % of the incoming passengers stay at least one night in the region and generated approximately 5,7 million overnight stays in 2005.
Ryanairi ja ettevõtja Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn GmbH vaheline 4. novembri 2005. aasta leping, mis käsitleb 6.–18.
Since 88 % of incoming tourists from Frankfurt Hahn stay at least one night and more than 80 % of those even stay two to 10 days, they generate a total turnover of about EUR 133,7 million per year.
Ryanairi lennuki toomist Frankfurt Hahni lennujaama aastatel 2005–2012, ei kujuta endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
Moreover, incoming tourism generated around 11000 jobs in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Artikkel 3
The aided investments at issue also helped to improve the accessibility of the area.
Tasumäärad, mis jõustusid 1. oktoobril 2001 ja 1. juunil 2006, ei kujuta endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
Nevertheless, the duplication of unprofitable airports (or the creation of additional unused capacity) does not contribute to an objective of common interest.
Artikkel 4
In this case, the Commission takes the view that the investment aid does not lead to such a duplication which would diminish the medium-term prospects for the use of existing infrastructure at other, neighbouring airports.
Käesolev otsus on adresseeritud Saksamaa Liitvabariigile.
Indeed, there are no other airports within 100 kilometres or 60 minutes travelling time from Frankfurt Hahn airport.
Brüssel, 1. oktoober 2014
The closest airports to Frankfurt Hahn are Frankfurt Main airport, which is located at 115 kilometres distance or 1 hour 15 minutes traveling time by car, and Luxembourg airport, which is located 1 hour and 30 minutes travelling time (111 kilometres) away.
Komisjoni nimel
Frankfurt Main airport is an international hub airport with a wide variety of destinations and is predominantly served by network carriers offering connecting traffic, whereas Frankfurt Hahn airport serves low-cost point-to-point flights.
Joaquín Almunia
Traffic at Frankfurt Main airport has continuously increased since 2000, from 49,4 million passengers in 2000 to approximately 58 million in 2012.
Alates 1. detsembrist 2009 muutusid EÜ asutamislepingu artiklid 87 ja 88 vastavalt Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikliteks 107 ja 108.
However, during that period growth has been affected by congestion problems and capacity constraints.
Sätted on sisult identsed.
As pointed out by Germany, the capacity limits of Frankfurt Main airport were constantly exceeded.
Käesolevas otsuses tuleb viiteid Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artiklitele 107 ja 108 käsitada vajaduse korral vastavalt viidetena EÜ asutamislepingu artiklitele 87 ja 88.
Therefore, according to Germany, especially in the light of its 24 hour operating licence, Frankfurt Hahn airport played an important role in providing additional capacity in order to relieve the congestion at Frankfurt Main airport.
Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepinguga tehti teatavaid muudatusi ka terminites, näiteks „ühendus“ asendati terminiga „liit“ ja „ühisturg“ terminiga „siseturg“.
In fact, until 2009 Fraport was the majority shareholder of FFHG, the operator of Frankfurt Hahn airport (2,7 million passengers in 2013, around 4 million passengers in 2007 at its peak) and the operator of Frankfurt-Main airport (58 million passengers and 2,1 million freight), and was as such pursuing a diversification strategy.
Käesolevas otsuses kasutatakse läbivalt Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu termineid.
Luxembourg airport, which is the nearest airport to Frankfurt Hahn but still around 111 kilometres or 1 hour 30 minutes traveling time by car away, had around 1,7 million passengers in 2008 and experienced a rapid growth to 2,2 million in 2013.
ELT C 12, 17.1.2009, lk 6.
Even though Luxembourg airport is slightly smaller than Frankfurt Hahn airport in terms of passenger traffic, its freight activity is substantially larger with 674000 tonnes in 2013.
Ryanair on Iiri lennuettevõtja ja Euroopa odavlennuettevõtjate liidu liige.
It offers a variety of scheduled flights to European capitals and charter flights to leisure destinations.
Lennuettevõtja äritegevus on seotud teisejärguliste piirkondlike lennujaamadega.
That selection of destinations to a large extent meets the needs of the employees of the financial and international institutions located in Luxembourg.
Lennuettevõtja lendab praegu ligikaudu 160 Euroopa sihtkohta.
Saarbrücken airport is located around 128 kilometres away from Frankfurt Hahn airport which amounts to over 2 hours traveling time by car.
Ryanairil on ühtne lennukipark, mis koosneb Boeing 737-800 tüüpi 272 lennukist 189 istekohaga.
In addition, Frankfurt Hahn is served mainly by low-cost carriers (Ryanair) and freight constitutes a rather important element in its business model whereas Saarbrücken airport offers mainly scheduled flights to national destinations and has only limited air freight transport.
Vt joonealune märkus 2.
With regard to Zweibrücken airport, Germany emphasised that the distance of 127 km to Frankfurt Hahn airport translates into a travelling time of 1 hour and 27 minutes by car or around 4 hours by train.
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).
Moreover, Germany submitted that, looking at passenger and air freight traffic between 2005 and 2012, no relationship of substitution between the airports can be deduced.
ELT C 216, 21.7.2012, lk 1.
The Commission observes that there is a certain overlap in the activities of both Frankfurt Hahn and Zweibrücken airports, as Zweibrücken airport also engaged in handling air freight and the destinations served by Zweibrücken airport are predominantly for charter traffic.
Komisjoni teatis „Suunised lennujaamadele ja -ettevõtjatele antava riigiabi kohta“ ( ELT C 99, 4.4.2014, lk 3).
