Finally, in the absence of the exceptional subsidies, the CCI-Airport’s results would have been even worse, thus ruling out any prospect of a return on the capital invested.
Seejuures ei ole Prantsusmaa ega huvitatud isikud esitanud sellega seoses mingeid põhjendusi.
In the light of all these factors, the CCI could not have considered that there was any likelihood of it receiving any return, in the more or less short term, on the capital that it had committed through the advances granted to the CCI-Airport.
Seega peab Prantsusmaa võtma kõik vajalikud meetmed selleks, et nõuda Ryanairilt/AMSilt tagasi kõnealuste lepingute alusel ebaseaduslikult antud abisummad.
The CCI could even have legitimately harboured serious doubts that the CCI-Airport would one day be able to repay the CCI.
Abisummad, mis tulenevad CCIga sõlmitud lepingutest, tuleb maksta tagasi CCI-le.
Very significant repayable advances therefore had to be granted every year from 2002 to 2006, totalling around EUR 7 million, which was in addition to EUR 2,7 million of repayable advances granted up to the end of 2001.
Abisummad, mis tulenevad VTANiga sõlmitud lepingutest, tuleb tagasi maksta SMANile, sest nagu on näidatud eespool, pärinevad need VTANile tegevustoetustena makstud summad SMANilt, kusjuures kõnealustest lepingutest tulenevaid eeliseid rahastati riigi ressurssidest.
In this respect, France has stated that no precise deadline was set for repayment of the advances by the CCI-Airport and that these advances were determined each year in order to balance the CCI-Airport’s budget.
Tagasinõutavad abisummad määratakse iga lepingu puhul kindlaks järgmiselt.
Furthermore, although it was stipulated that the state would repay the balance of the repayable advances at the end of the concession, it was not planned for it to pay any interest rate correctly remunerating the credit granted by the CCI to its airport arm.
Iga uuritud tehingut (mis võib hõlmata lennujaamateenuste lepingut ja turundusteenuste lepingut) tuleb käsitada selliselt, et selle alusel maksti teatud aastane abisumma iga selle tehinguga hõlmatud lepingute kehtivusaja jooksul või perioodi jooksul, mille jaoks täiendavad prognoositavad rahavood välja arvutati.
Given all the above, it seems that the CCI did not act towards its airport arm as an MEO motivated by the prospect of profits would have done.
Kõik summad arvutatakse välja lähtuvalt prognoositavast täiendavast negatiivsest rahavoost (tulud miinus kulud) tabelites 7–16 toodud tehingute sõlmimise ajal.
In conclusion, the exceptional subsidies and repayable advances each conferred an economic advantage on the CCI-Airport.
Need summad vastavad summadele, mis oleks tulnud lahutada turundusteenuste hinnast (või mis oleks tulnud liita lennuettevõtjatelt võetavale lennujaamatasule ja maapealse teenindamise tasule), et lepingu nüüdispuhasväärtus oleks positiivne, või teisisõnu, et leping vastaks turumajanduse tingimustes tegutseva ettevõtja põhimõttele.
In addition, as these advantages each benefited a single undertaking, they were selective.
Selleks et võtta arvesse Ryanairi/AMSi kõnealuste lepingute tulemusena saadud tegelikku eelist, võib osutuda vajalikuks muuta eelmises põhjenduses viidatud summasid lähtuvalt Prantsusmaa esitatud tõendusmaterjalidest, vastavalt i) erinevusele ühelt poolt Ryanairi poolt lennujaamateenuste lepingu alusel tegelikult makstud, st tagantjärele kindlaks tehtud maandumistasu, reisijatasu ja maapealse teenindamise tasu summade, ja teiselt poolt (eelnevalt) prognoositud rahavoogude vahel, mis vastavad konkreetsetele tuluridadele ja on toodud tabelites 7–16, ii) erinevusele ühelt poolt Ryanairile või AMSile turundusteenuste lepingu alusel tegelikult makstud, st tagantjärele kindlaks tehtud turundustasude, ja teiselt poolt (eelnevalt) prognoositud turunduskulude vahel, mis vastavad konkreetsetele tuluridadele ja on toodud tabelites 7–16.
Under the CDSP, the SMAN undertook to pay a flat-rate contribution to VTAN throughout the term of the public service delegation, amounting to EUR [1,2-1,5] million in the ‘reference scenario’ and EUR [1,0-1,3] million in the ‘downturn scenario’.
Lisaks sellele leiab komisjon, et Ryanairi/AMSi saadud tegelik eelis on piiratud asjaomase lepingu kehtimise ajaga.
VTAN undertook to pay an annual fee of one euro for the occupation of the land, structures and infrastructure.
Pärast iga konkreetse lepingu lõppemist ei saanud Ryanair/AMS enam selle lepingu alusel makseid ja tal ei olnud enam võimalust selle lepingu alusel kasutada lennujaama taristut ega maapealset teenindamist.
As this agreement represented a significant net cost for the SMAN, which could not have expected any tangible financial return on the amounts committed under this agreement, it did not correspond to normal market conditions and conferred an economic advantage on VTAN.
Seetõttu muutuvad eespool kirjeldatud meetodi alusel arvutatavad abisummad selle konkreetse lepingu puhul neil perioodidel, kui leping tegelikult ei kehtinud, nulliks (eeskätt lepingu ennetähtaegsel lõpetamisel või lepingu lõppemisel lepinguosaliste vahelise kokkuleppe alusel).
Amendment No 1 to the CDSP increased the flat-rate contribution by EUR [20000-50000], without any prospect of a return for the SMAN.
Seetõttu tuleb Ryanairi/AMSi tagasimakstavad summad teatud lepingute puhul, mida ei kohaldatud kuni lepingutes sätestatud lõpptähtaegadeni, lugeda nulliks ajavahemiku puhul, mis algab lepingu tegeliku kohaldamise lõpetamisest ja kestab kuni lepingu sõlmimisel ettenähtud lepingu lõppemise tähtajani.
This was intended to compensate for the loss of revenue that VTAN could have expected on becoming the airport operator, but which it was forced to relinquish subsequently.
Järgnevas tabelis 17 on toodud asjasse puutuv teave summade kohta, millest lähtuvalt arvutatakse tagasimakstavad summad.
Like the CDSP itself, Amendment No 1 represented a net cost for the SMAN without any prospect of a return, and did not correspond to normal market conditions.
Need summad hõlmavad täiendavaid negatiivseid rahavoogusid (tulud miinus kulud), mis on määratud kindlaks turumajanduse tingimustes tegutseva ettevõtja põhimõtte kohaldamise teel, kusjuures Ryanairi/AMSi lepingute puhul on summasid vähendatud seoses nende aastatega, mil lepinguid tegelikult ei kohaldatud.
It therefore conferred an economic advantage on VTAN.
Tabel 17
The same reasoning applies to Amendment No 3, which again increased the amount of the flat-rate contribution without any prospect of a return for the SMAN, and therefore conferred an economic advantage on VTAN.
Teave tagasi makstavate summade kohta [223]Ligikaudsed summad (eurodes)
However, the situation is different for Amendment No 2.
Periood, mille kestel abisumma saadi
This stipulated that VTAN would renew the terminal’s air-conditioning system and that the SMAN would compensate VTAN for the undepreciated value of the equipment at the end of the delegation.
2004 (suvehooaeg)
However, prior to the signature of Amendment No 2, Article 25.2 of the CDSP stipulated that all the necessary investments were the responsibility of the SMAN, except for a limited list of investments that were VTAN’s responsibility under Article 25.1 of the CDSP.
2007 (jaanuarist oktoobrini)
As a result, without Amendment No 2, it would have been the SMAN, and not VTAN, that would have had to finance the renewal of the air-conditioning system, which had become unusable.
2007–2008 (talvehooaeg)
Amendment No 2 did not therefore reduce the costs that would normally have had to be met out of VTAN’s financial resources.
2008 (suvehooaeg)
On the contrary, it represented a financially advantageous solution for the SMAN, which would have had to cover the investment in question, but which, thanks to Amendment No 2, did not have to commit the necessary sums and only had to finance the undepreciated value of the equipment at the end of the delegation.
2008–2009 (talvehooaeg)
Amendment No 2 did not therefore confer any economic advantage on VTAN and is not therefore State aid.
2009 (suvehooaeg)
It was stipulated that the equipment subsidies would be readjusted at the end of the delegation in order to bring the payments into line with the expenditure actually incurred by VTAN.
2010 (suvehooaeg)
Without Amendment No 4, the corresponding investment costs, which became necessary due to the closure of the airbase, would have had to be met by the SMAN.
2010–2011 (talvehooaeg)
The equipment subsidies did not therefore reduce the costs that would normally have had to be met out of VTAN’s financial resources.
2011 (suvehooaeg)
On the other hand, from the SMAN’s point of view, it was economically rational to ask VTAN, as the airport operator, to make the necessary investments identified by working groups composed of various stakeholders, by granting it financial compensation limited to the costs incurred, through the readjustment mechanism at the end of the delegation.
2011 (talvehooaeg kuni 31.12)
In operational terms, it was in fact efficient for the airport operator to make these investments.
CCI käitamisperiood:
The equipment subsidies did not therefore confer any economic advantage on VTAN and are not State aid.
kirjavahetus 2001. aasta lõpust kuni 2002. aasta alguseni
As regards the specific public contribution, also established by Amendment No 4, this was a subsidy granted by the SMAN without any prospect of a return, just like the flat-rate contribution established by the initial version of the CDSP.
kirjavahetus 2004. aastal
It did not correspond to normal market conditions.
VTANi käitamisperiood
In conclusion, the flat-rate contribution, as established by the initial version of the CDSP and increased by Amendments Nos 1 and 3, conferred an economic advantage on VTAN.
2. jaanuari 2007. aasta lepingud
In addition, as these advantages benefited a single undertaking, they were selective.
1. augusti 2007. aasta lisaleping
On the other hand, neither Amendment No 2 nor the equipment subsidies conferred any economic advantage on VTAN.
27. augusti 2008. aasta lepingud
These measures do not therefore constitute State aid.
25. augusti 2009. aasta lepingud
Nîmes airport is in particular in competition with other airport platforms, and especially those serving all or part of the same catchment area, such as Montpellier and Avignon airports.
18. augusti 2010. aasta lisaleping
Aid granted to the operator of Nîmes airport (the CCI-Airport or VTAN) therefore risks distorting competition.
30. novembri 2010. aasta lisaleping
In this respect, the Commission notes that Montpellier airport is only 63 km from Nîmes airport.
kokku
As the airport service market and air transport market are open to competition within the EU, aid also risks affecting trade between Member States.
[850000 – 900000]
More generally it should be noted that EU airport operators are in competition with each other to attract airlines.
Nagu on selgitatud punktis 7.1.1.2.3, leiab komisjon, et Ryanairi ja AMSi tuleb vaadelda ühe majandusüksusena ning et samaaegselt sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste lepinguid ja turundusteenuste lepinguid tuleb vaadelda kõnealuse üksuse ja vastavalt olukorrale kas CCI või VTANi vahel toimunud ühe ja sama tehinguna.
Airlines decide on which routes to operate and their corresponding frequencies based on a range of criteria.
Seetõttu leiab komisjon, et Ryanair ja AMS vastutavad solidaarselt ajavahemikul 2005–2010 sõlmitud lepingute alusel saadud abisummade tagasimaksmise eest, mille põhiosa ligikaudne kogusumma on [5000000 – 7000000] eurot.
These criteria not only include the potential customers that they can expect on these routes, but also the characteristics of the airports situated at either end of these routes.
Kui tegemist on enne 2005. aastat sõlmitud lepingutega, siis juhul, kui lepingud sõlmiti CCI ja üksnes ettevõtja Ryanair vahel, on vaid Ryanair vastutav neist lepingutest tulenevate abisummade tagasimaksmise eest, mille põhiosa ulatub ligikaudu [150000 – 300000] euroni.
Airlines particularly look at criteria such as type of airport services provided, population or economic activity around the airport, congestion, whether there is access by land, or even the level of charges and overall commercial conditions for use of airport infrastructure and services.
Prantsuse ametiasutused peavad eespool toodud summad sisse nõudma 4 kuu jooksul alates käesoleva otsuse teatavakstegemisest.
The charge level is a key factor, since public funding granted to an airport could be used to maintain airport charges at an artificially low level in order to attract airlines and may thus significantly distort competition.
Seejuures peavad Prantsuse ametiasutused lisaks sellele lisama abisummadele tagasinõutavad intressid, mida arvestatakse alates kuupäevast, mil kõnealused 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.
Consequently, airlines allocate their resources, particularly aircraft and crew, to the various routes by looking at the services offered by airport operators and the prices charged for those services, among other criteria.
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 tagasimakstavate intresside arvutamisel on lubatav eeldada, et asjaomaste abisummade väljamaksmine toimus abisumma arvestamise perioodi viimasel päeval (näiteks 31. detsembril, kui kõnealune periood on astronoomiline aasta, või 31. oktoobril, kui kõnealune periood ulatub teatud aasta 1. jaanuarist 31. oktoobrini).
It is clear from the above that the various measures granted to the CCI-Airport and VTAN and covered by this assessment were likely, in so far as they conferred an economic advantage on one of these two undertakings, to have reinforced the respective positions of these two undertakings compared with other European airport operators.
Valides vaadeldava perioodi viimase päeva, kasutab komisjon abi saaja jaoks kõige soodsamat varianti.
Consequently, these measures may have distorted competition and affected trade between Member States.
Euroopa Kohtu 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.
Conclusion on the existence of State aid
Sellisel juhul peavad komisjon ja asjaomane liikmesriik tegema raskuste ületamiseks heas usus koostööd, järgides samas rangelt Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu sätteid.
The sovereign task subsidies do not constitute State aid.
Komisjon palub seega Prantsusmaal edastada talle teabe kõigi probleemide kohta, millega Prantsusmaa puutub kokku ette käesoleva otsuse elluviimise käigus,
The exceptional operating subsidies and repayable advances received by the CCI-Airport constitute State aid to the latter.
ON VASTU VÕTNUD KÄESOLEVA OTSUSE:
The flat-rate contribution, as established by the initial version of the CDSP and increased by Amendments Nos 1 and 3, constitutes State aid to VTAN, as does the specific public contribution.
Artikkel 1
Amendment No 2 and the equipment subsidies are not State aid.
Järgmised meetmed, mis sisaldavad riigiabi, mida Prantsusmaa andis ebaseaduslikult Ryanairile, rikkudes Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõike 3 sätteid, on siseturuga kokkusobimatud:
UNLAWFULNESS OF THE AID
tehing, millega muudeti 11. aprilli 2000. aastal sõlmitud kokkulepet Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja Ryanairi vahel, mis põhines Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja Ryanairi vahel vahetatud järgmiste kuupäevadega kirjadel: 28. november 2001, 11., 18., 21. ja 24. detsember 2001, 2.
The exceptional operating subsidies, repayable advances, flat-rate contribution and their various amendments, as also the specific public contribution, were implemented without being notified.
5. ja 15. veebruar 2002;
The Commission Decision of 28 November 2005 on the application of Article 106(2) TFEU to State aid in the form of public service compensation granted to certain undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest (‘the 2005 SGEI Decision’) lays down the conditions under which certain aid granted as public service compensation may be exempt from the requirement of notification laid down in Article 108(3) TFEU.
tehing, millega muudeti 11. aprilli 2000. aastal sõlmitud kokkulepet Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja Ryanairi vahel, mis põhines Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja Ryanairi vahel vahetatud 10. ja 16. märtsi 2004 kirjadel.
According to France, the measures granted to the CCI-Airport or VTAN after 19 December 2005 meet these conditions.
Järgmised meetmed, mis sisaldavad riigiabi, mida Prantsusmaa andis ebaseaduslikult samaaegselt Ryanairile ja ettevõtjale Airport Marketing Services, rikkudes Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõike 3 sätteid, on siseturuga kokkusobimatud:
The Commission considers that this is not the case.
10. oktoobril 2005. aastal Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja Ryanairi vahel sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste leping ja samal päeval Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste leping;
Firstly, the overall management of Nîmes airport cannot be regarded as a genuine SGEI, as proven above.
2. jaanuaril 2007 ettevõtja Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes ja Ryanairi vahel sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste leping ja samal päeval ettevõtja Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste leping;
Consequently, as the various aforementioned measures were granted to finance the overall management of the airport, they do not meet the criteria laid down by the 2005 SGEI Decision.
2. jaanuaril 2007 ettevõtja Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste lepingu 1. augustil 2007 sõlmitud lisaleping;
Secondly, as indicated previously, even if the overall management of the airport could be defined as an SGEI, none of the measures in question stemmed from the application of a compensation mechanism for which the parameters were established in advance in an objective and transparent manner.
1. novembril 2007 ettevõtja Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes ja Ryanairi vahel sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste leping ja samal päeval ettevõtja Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste leping;
In fact, as indicated previously, the measures in question do not satisfy the second Altmark condition.
27. augustil 2008 ettevõtja Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes ja Ryanairi vahel sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste leping ja samal päeval ettevõtja Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste leping;
Accordingly, these measures do not satisfy the conditions laid down in Article 4(d) and (e) 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 description of the compensation mechanism and the parameters for calculating, controlling and reviewing the compensation as well as the arrangements for avoiding and repaying any overcompensation.
27. augustil 2008 ettevõtja Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes ja Ryanairi vahel sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste lepingu 25. augustil 2009 sõlmitud lisaleping ja 27. augustil 2008 ettevõtja Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste lepingu 25. augustil 2009 sõlmitud lisaleping;
This is the second reason why the aforementioned measures could not have been exempted, under the 2005 SGEI Decision, from the requirement of notification laid down by Article 108(3) TFEU.
27. augustil 2008 ettevõtja Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste lepingu 18. augustil 2010 sõlmitud lisaleping;
In the light of the above, the exceptional operating subsidies, repayable advances, flat-rate contribution, as established by the initial version of the CDSP and increased by Amendments Nos 1 and 3, and specific public contribution constitute unlawful aid.
27. augustil 2008 ettevõtja Veolia Transport Aéroport de Nîmes ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste lepingu 30. novembril 2010 sõlmitud lisaleping.
As proven above, France has committed a manifest error of assessment in claiming that the overall management of Nîmes airport was an SGEI.
Artikkel 2
In particular, the activity of the Nîmes airport operator consisting in handling commercial passenger transport flights at that airport cannot be regarded as a genuine SGEI.
11. aprillil 2000 Ryanairi ja Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskoja vahel sõlmitud lepingu näol ei ole tegemist riigiabiga Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
These conclusions apply both to the CCI-Airport operating period and the VTAN operating period.
10. oktoobril 2005 Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste lepingu 30. jaanuaril 2006 sõlmitud lisalepingu näol ei ole tegemist riigiabiga Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
In so far as the various financial support measures covered by this assessment were intended to finance the operation of the airport’s activity as a whole, they cannot be regarded as financial compensation granted with a view to the management of a genuine SGEI.
10. oktoobril 2005 Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskoja ja ettevõtja Airport Marketing Services vahel sõlmitud turundusteenuste lepingu 17. oktoobril 2006 sõlmitud lisalepingu näol ei ole tegemist riigiabiga Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
Moreover, as proven above, even if all or part of the management of Nîmes airport could have been validly defined as an SGEI, none of the financial support measures covered by this assessment stemmed from a financial compensation mechanism for which the parameters were established in advance in an objective and transparent manner, accompanied by parameters for calculating, controlling and reviewing the compensation and arrangements for avoiding and repaying any overcompensation.
Artikkel 3
As a result, the measures in question do not satisfy the cumulative conditions established by the European Union framework for State aid in the form of public service compensation, which is applicable to this case ratione temporis.
Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskoja üldteenistuse poolt oma lennujaamateenistusele ajavahemikul 2002–2006 makstud tagastatavate ettemaksete näol on tegemist riigiabiga Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
Moreover, for the same reasons and as proven in recitals 633 to 635, the measures in question also do not satisfy the cumulative conditions established by the 2005 SGEI Decision.
Seda riigiabi andis Prantsusmaa ebaseaduslikult, rikkudes Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõike 3 sätteid.
Consequently, these measures cannot be declared compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 106(2) TFEU.
Erinevate omavalitsusasutuste ja Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskoja üldteenistuse poolt Nîmes – Uzès – Le Vigani kaubandus-tööstuskoja lennujaamateenistusele ajavahemikul 2005–2006 makstud konkreetsete tegevustoetuste näol on tegemist riigiabiga Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
The Commission will now analyse the measures covered by this assessment in the light of the various criteria laid down in Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Kindlasummalise makse näol, mis sätestati 8. detsembril 2006 Nîmes – Alès – Camargue – Cévennes’i lennujaama haldamiseks ja arendamiseks ettevõtjaga Veolia Transport sõlmitud avaliku teenindamise delegeerimise lepinguga ja mida suurendati kõnealuse kokkuleppe lisalepingutega nr 1 ja nr 3, on tegemist riigiabiga Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
