Section 5.1.2 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) TFEU.
Samuti peab abisummad, mis tuleb TUIflyl ennetähtaegselt lõpetatud 2008. aasta lepingu eest tagasi maksta, lugema nulliks ajavahemiku puhul, mis algab lepingu tegeliku kohaldamise lõpetamisest ja kestab kuni lepingu sõlmimisel ettenähtud lepingu lõppemise tähtajani.
Pursuant 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.
See puudutab ajavahemikku alates 25. oktoobrist 2009, mil TUIfly pakkus oma viimase, KLUst väljuva lennuteenuse.
Unlawful operating aid granted before the date of publication of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines may be declared compatible to the full extent of uncovered operating costs provided that the following conditions are met:
Arvesse võetud turundusmaksed
contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest: this condition is fulfilled, inter alia, if the aid increases the mobility of citizens of the Union and connectivity of the regions or facilitates regional development,
Seoses teises DMG ja AMSi vahelises turunduslepingus kindlaks määratud maksetega ([…] eurot aastas), võttis komisjon seda lepingut arvesse oma turumajanduse tingimustes tegutseva ettevõtja põhimõtte kontrollimisel.
need for State intervention: the aid must be targeted towards situations where such aid can bring about a material improvement that the market itself cannot deliver,
Ka teises turunduslepingus esitatud makseid võetakse selles peatükis tagasimakstavate abisummade arvutamisel arvesse.
appropriateness of State aid as a policy instrument: this condition is fulfilled, if the Member State can demonstrate that the aid is the appropriate measure to achieve the intended objective,
Austria kinnitas, et teine turundusleping asendati kolmanda turunduslepinguga ning ei jõustunud.
existence of incentive effect: this condition is fulfilled if it is likely that, in the absence of operating aid, and taking into account the possible presence of investment aid and the level of traffic, the level of economic activity of the airport concerned would be significantly reduced,
Austria ei esitanud selle argumendi kohta siiski ühtegi tõendit, vaid tugines üksnes vastavate maksedokumentide puudumisele KFBG raamatupidamises, et tõendada, et KFBG ei ole teise turunduslepingu raames teinud ühtegi makset.
proportionality of the aid amount (aid limited to the minimum necessary): in order to be proportionate, operating aid to airports must be limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place,
Kuna komisjon ei saanud Austriast ühtegi kirjalikku dokumenti, mis tõendaks kõnealuse avalduse õigsust, võetakse tagasimakstavate abisummade arvutamisel arvesse ka teist turunduslepingut.
avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade.
Seda summat saab tulevikus Austria esitatud tõendusmaterjalidest lähtuvalt kohandada.
Contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest
Järgmised tabelid sisaldavad andmeid erinevate summade kohta, mille alusel tuleb arvutada esialgsed tagasimakstavad summad.
The operating aid under assessment that comprises the losses of KFBG/DMG since 2000 and the corresponding financial contributions by the City of Klagenfurt, the State of Carinthia and KLH as demonstrated in Table 2, had the objective of maintaining the appropriate level of operation of KLU.
Need summad koosnevad täiendavast negatiivsest rahavoost (täiendavad tulud miinus täiendavad kulud), mis arvutati turumajanduse tingimustes tegutseva ettevõtja põhimõtte kohaldamise raames koos vähendamistega nende ajavahemike eest, kui makseid ei pidanud pärast lepingu allkirjastamist veel tegema või lepingu ennetähtaegse lõpetamise tõttu maksma.
According to point 113 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, operating aid to airports will be considered to contribute to the achievement of an objective of common interest if it increases the mobility of Union citizens and the connectivity of the regions, combats air traffic congestion at major Union hub airports or facilitates regional development.
Tabel 18
KLU is important for the economic development of the region of Carinthia, for which a good connection to the Austrian capital Vienna and the main German business centres is indispensable.
Andmed esialgsete abisummade kohta, mis anti Ryanairile ja tema tütarettevõtetele ning mis tuleb neil tagasi maksta
KLU further satisfies connectivity needs of the region in particular in view of its tourism sector for alpine summer and winter sports.
(eurodes)
The business profile of KLU corresponds to these needs of the region, offering a comfortable infrastructure for a number of scheduled flights to the main business centres in Germany (Berlin, Hamburg, Köln-Bonn and in the past also Munich) as well as Vienna.
Erinevate lepingute alusel antud abi esialgne summa
According to the information provided by Austria in the annual statements of accounts of KFBG the development of Klagenfurt Airport was also based on a sound passenger forecast.
Abisaaja/leping
Furthermore, it needs to be assessed whether a possible duplication of airport infrastructure could militate against finding that the operation of KLU meets a clearly defined objective of common interest.
Juuli 2005 – oktoober 2005
In this respect, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines define the catchment area as a geographic market boundary that is normally set around 100 km and around 60 minutes traveling time by car, bus, train or high-speed train.
Ryanair, LV ja AMS:
At the same time, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines allow to deviate from the standard definition of the catchment area of a given airport in order to take into account the specificities of each particular airport.
Lepingud (22.2.2002)
In this respect, the size and shape of the catchment area may vary from airport to airport, including its business model, location and the destinations it serves.
Ryanair ja AMS:
Taking into account this concept, it can be assumed that Graz airport (128 km from Klagenfurt), Maribor airport (137 km from Klagenfurt), Trieste airport (203 km from Klagenfurt) and Salzburg airport (223 km from Klagenfurt) are not located in the same catchment area.
Lepingud (21.12.2006)
Ljubljana airport in Slovenia is however nearby.
Tabel 19
The shortest distance by road from Klagenfurt to Ljubljana airport is 80 km and crosses the Karawanken mountain range, via the Loibl mountain pass, at 1068 metres above sea level.
Andmed esialgsete abisummade kohta, mis anti HLXile ning mis tuleb HLXil tagasi maksta
The Austrian authorities pointed out that a travelling time of less than 60 minutes by car or bus is unrealistic, firstly, as that road is narrow, winding and steep and is difficult to negotiate even under normal conditions and in particular in the winter season, and secondly, as that road is closed several times every year due to rock fall or mudslides.
Lepingute alusel antud abi esialgne summa
The shortest alternative would be the motorway to the city of Villach and through the Karawanken road tunnel, but that distance would be around 130 km.
August 2007 – märts 2008
There is no high-speed train connection, and travelling time by train is between 2 hours 10 minutes and 2 hours 48 minutes.
2003. aasta leping
In view of this geographical situation, it can therefore be concluded that Ljubljana airport is not in the catchment areas of KLU, as the travelling time between the two airports will often be longer than under best travelling conditions.
Tabel 20
Moreover, KLU and Ljubljana Airport pursue business models that are significantly different from each other: Klagenfurt offers mainly scheduled flights connecting Klagenfurt with main business centres such as Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg or Köln-Bonn and some charter flights to a number of holiday destinations.
Andmed esialgsete abisummade kohta, mis anti TUIflyle ning mis tuleb TUIflyl tagasi maksta
The destinations served at KLU are therefore limited to the need of the population of Carinthia, which is a fast and easy access to the main German speaking business centres and at the same time an easy access of tourists to the tourism industry in Carinthia.
Aprill 2009 – oktoober 2009
Ljubljana airport as the main Slovenian airport of the Slovenian capital has more than 1 million annual passengers and offers a wide range of international destinations for scheduled and charter flights all over Europe with a focus on eastern European States.
2008. aasta leping
The Commission therefore considers that the operating aid granted to Klagenfurt Airport contributed to the achievement of the objective of common interest of improving the connectivity and regional development of the Carinthia region through the operation of transport infrastructure to meet the transport needs of the region.
Nagu selgitatakse põhjenduses 326, on komisjon seisukohal, et riigiabi eeskirjade kohaldamisel tuleb Ryanairi, LVd ja AMSi vaadelda ühe majandusüksusena ning et turundusteenuste lepinguid ja vastavaid lennujaamateenuste lepinguid tuleb vaadelda kõnealuse üksuse ja KFBG/DMG vahelise üheainsa tehinguna.
Need for State intervention
Seetõttu leiab komisjon, et Ryanair, LV ja AMS vastutavad solidaarselt aastatel 2002 ja 2006 sõlmitud lepingute alusel saadud põhisummade tagasimaksmise eest, mille põhiosa ligikaudne kogusumma on 1827267 ja 141326 eurot.
According to point 116 et seq. of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, operating aid to airports will be considered necessary if it brings about a material improvement that the market itself cannot deliver.
Komisjon leiab, et HLX vastutab 2003. aastal sõlmitud lepingu alusel saadud põhisumma tagasimaksmise eest, mille põhiosa ligikaudne kogusumma on 9566963 eurot.
The guidelines further recognise that the need for public funding to finance operating costs will normally be proportionately greater for smaller airports due to high fixed costs and that airports with annual passenger traffic between 200000 and 700000 passengers may not be able to cover their operating costs to a substantial extent.
HLX asutati 2002. aastal ning kuulus ühendusele TUI Airlines.
After having served as many as approximately 520000 passengers per year in the past, the annual passenger numbers of KLU have stabilised at around 230000, which is well below 700000 passengers.
15. jaanuaril 2007 ühendati HLX koos Hapagflyga (varem Hapag-Lloyd Flug) kaubamärgiks TUIfly ning muutus 2010. aasta juulis õigusvõimeliseks.
The airport was not able to generate enough revenues to cover its operating costs to a substantial extent, which the 2014 Aviation Guidelines identify as typical for airports of this size.
Seetõttu võib TUIflyd lugeda HLXi õigusjärglaseks ning ta vastutab seega kogu HLXile antud abi tagasimaksmise eest.
Absent the aid in question, KFBG/DMG would likely have been forced to exit the market, depriving Carinthia of a transport infrastructure which plays a significant role in its accessibility and development (tourism).
Komisjon leiab, et TUIfly vastutab 2008. aastal sõlmitud lepingu alusel saadud põhisumma tagasimaksmise eest, mille põhiosa ligikaudne kogusumma on 1134091 eurot.
Therefore the Commission considers that the operating aid to Klagenfurt Airport is necessary.
Austria peab nimetatud summad nõudma tagasi nelja kuu jooksul alates käesoleva otsuse teatavakstegemisest.
Appropriateness of State aid as a policy instrument
Austria peab lisaks sellele lisama abisummadele tagasinõutavad intressid, mida arvestatakse alates kuupäevast, mil 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.
According to point 120 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines operating aid should be an appropriate policy instrument to achieve the intended objective or resolve the problem to be addressed.
Sellega seoses on ajahetk, alates millest tuleb intress välja arvutada, konkreetsete abisummade (st osamaksed) andmise kuupäev.
Since KLU was loss-making at operating level the only appropriate instrument was operating aid that enabled the airport to continue operations ensuring connectivity of the Carinthia region.
Väljakujunenud 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.
Other instruments such as investment aid or regulatory measures do not seem appropriate to address the financial problems of KLU at the operating level.
Sellisel juhul peavad komisjon ja asjaomane liikmesriik tegema raskuste ületamiseks lojaalset koostööd, järgides samas täielikult ELi toimimise lepingu sätteid.
Therefore the Commission considers that the operating aid granted to KLU is an appropriate instrument.
Komisjon palub Austrial teatada kõikidest käesoleva otsuse elluviimisel tekkivatest võimalikest probleemidest,
Existence of incentive effect
ON VASTU VÕTNUD KÄESOLEVA OTSUSE:
According to point 124 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines the operating aid has an incentive effect if it is likely that in the absence of the operating aid and taking into account the possible presence of investment aid and the level of air traffic, the level of the economic activity of the airport would be significantly reduced.
Artikkel 1
The transport needs of the Carinthia region, which expressed in passenger numbers have stabilised over the years 2004-2010 at the level of 400000 passengers per annum (and have only since 2012 fallen down to 230000 passengers per annum).
Riiklik rahastamine, mis anti KFBG-le/DMG-le rahaliste toetuste näol ajavahemikul 2000–2010, kujutab endast riigiabi, mis on kooskõlas ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 3 punktiga c.
Despite rather stable passenger numbers the airport was in the past however not able to cover its operating costs.
Artikkel 2
The figures Austria submitted showed that without the operating aid the airport would have made significant losses in most of the relevant years.
KLU 2005. aasta stimuleerimiskava ei kujuta endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
Therefore, without the operating aid, KFBG would have had to reduce traffic in order to reduce costs and losses, or otherwise, would have probably gone bankrupt, which would have probably led to the cessation of activity of the airport.
Artikkel 3
Therefore, without the operating aid, the airport could not have maintained the level of traffic and its economic activity would have to be reduced.
KFBG ja AUA vaheline kompromisskokkulepe ei kujuta endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
Proportionality of the aid amount (aid limited to the minimum necessary)
Artikkel 4
As regards necessity, the measures under investigation were limited to the minimum necessary to offset losses and allow KFBG/DMG to observe capital requirements and continue to operate viably.
KFBG poolt Air Berliniga sõlmitud lennujaamateenuste leping (8. juuli 2010) ei kujuta endast riigiabi ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 107 lõike 1 tähenduses.
The aid was necessary to keep the company afloat and did not exceed the amount required to cover operating losses.
Artikkel 5
The aid was therefore limited to the minimum necessary.
Riigiabi 1827267 euro suuruses summas, mille Austria andis Ryanairile, LV-le ja AMSile ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3 rikkudes ebaseaduslikult, on siseturuga kokkusobimatu.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the operating aid to KLU is proportionate.
Artikkel 6
Avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade
Riigiabi 141326 euro suuruses summas, mille Austria andis Ryanairile ja AMSile ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3 rikkudes ebaseaduslikult, on siseturuga kokkusobimatu.
According to point 131 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines when assessing the compatibility of operating aid to the airport, the Commission will take into account the distortions of competition and the effects on trade.
Artikkel 7
An indication of potential competition distortions or effect on trade may be the fact that the airport is located in the same catchment area as another airport with spare capacity.
Riigiabi 9566963 euro suuruses summas, mille Austria andis HLXile ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3 rikkudes ebaseaduslikult, on siseturuga kokkusobimatu.
As demonstrated in recital 503 et seq., taking into account the concept of a catchment area of around 100 km and travelling time of 60 minutes, it can be assumed that Ljubljana airport is not in the catchment area of Klagenfurt area.
Artikkel 8
Moreover, Austria has confirmed that the airport infrastructure of KLU is made available to all airlines on non-discriminatory terms.
Riigiabi 1134091 euro suuruses summas, mille Austria andis TUIflyle ELi toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõiget 3 rikkudes ebaseaduslikult, on siseturuga kokkusobimatu.
KLU can be accessed, without any particular restrictions, by any airline wanting to use it.
Artikkel 9
This infrastructure can therefore be accessed in an equal and non-discriminatory manner within the meaning of the 2014 Guidelines.
Austria nõuab artiklites 5–8 osutatud abisummad abisaajatelt tagasi.
Agreements with airlines — Applicable legal framework
Austria lõpetab kõik tegemata maksed artiklites 1–4 nimetatud abi jaoks alates käesoleva otsuse vastuvõtmise kuupäevast.
The Commission notes that Austria has not advanced any arguments to show that the aid granted to Ryanair and its subsidiaries is compatible with the internal market.
Artikkel 10
Following the case law of the Court of Justice, the Commission recalls that it is Austria's responsibility to indicate the legal basis on which a State aid measure could be found compatible with the internal market and to demonstrate that all required conditions are met.
Artiklites 5–8 osutatud abi nõutakse tagasi viivitamatult ja tõhusalt.
In the opening decision the Commission requested Austria to provide information on whether compatibility could be established pursuant to the 2005 Aviation Guidelines or directly under the TFEU.
Austria tagab käesoleva otsuse täitmise nelja kuu jooksul alates otsuse teatavakstegemisest.
Austria, however, did not make any submissions with a view to showing that the relevant conditions for compatible start-up aid under the 2005 Aviation Guidelines or directly under the TFEU were met.
Artikkel 11
Nor did the interested parties who submitted comments put forward any arguments demonstrating the compatibility of the State aid measure with the internal market.
Austria esitab komisjonile kahe kuu jooksul alates käesoleva otsuse teatavakstegemist järgmise teabe:
The 2002 agreements with Ryanair
abisaajatelt nõutav kogusumma (põhisumma ja intress);
The 2002 agreements were signed before the 2005 Aviation Guidelines were published on 9 December 2005.
käesoleva otsuse täitmiseks juba võetud ja kavandatud meetmete üksikasjalik kirjeldus;
With regard to the compatibility of aid granted before this date, point 85 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines and point 174 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines refer to the rules applicable at the time when the aid was granted.
dokumendid, milles kinnitatakse, et abisaajatele on antud korraldus abi tagasi maksta.
Before the 2005 Aviation Guidelines were adopted, the Commission had adopted the 1994 Aviation Guidelines.
Austria teavitab komisjoni riiklike meetmete arengust, mida võetakse käesoleva otsuse rakendamiseks kuni artiklites 5–8 viidatud abi tagastamine on lõpetatud.
However, those guidelines did not specifically deal with the issue of operating aid aimed at promoting outbound air traffic from regional airports.
Komisjoni taotlusel esitab Austria viivitamata teabe käesoleva otsuse täitmiseks juba võetud ja kavandatavate meetmete kohta.
This issue in fact gradually appeared as a result of a build-up of congestion at certain large European airports and the development of low-fare airlines, which did not yet exist in 1994.
Austria esitab ka üksikasjaliku teabe abisaajate poolt juba tagasi makstud abisummade ja intresside kohta.
Consequently, the 1994 Aviation Guidelines do not provide any relevant basis of compatibility for the aid to airlines in the present case.
Artikkel 12
The Commission must therefore assess the compatibility of the aid in question directly on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Käesolev otsus on adresseeritud Austria Vabariigile.
In this respect, it should be noted that the Commission's assessment of this type of State aid has been refined over time, although some points have remained unchanged.
Brüssel, 11. november 2016
These points stem from the general principles governing the compatibility of aid in accordance with the aforementioned provision of TFEU.
Komisjoni nimel
Accordingly, in the decision on Manchester airport of June 1999, the Commission found that reductions in airport charges granted in a non-discriminatory and time-limited manner as measures aimed at promoting new routes were compatible with the rules on State aid.
Margrethe Vestager
Subsequently, in its decision of February 2004 on Charleroi airport, the Commission explained that ‘Operational aid measures intended to help the launch of new airlines or strengthen certain frequencies may be a necessary tool for the development of small regional airports. The measures may indeed persuade the interested companies to take the risk of investing in new routes. However, in order to declare such aid compatible on the basis of Article 87(3)(c) TFEU, it should be determined whether this aid is necessary and in proportion to the objective sought, and whether it affects trade to an extent that is contrary to the common interest’.
ELT C 233, 3.8.2012, lk 28.
The Commission therefore identified certain conditions to be met in order for this operating aid to be declared compatible, in particular the following:
Komisjoni otsus SA.24221 (ex CP 281/2007) – Austria – Klagenfurti lennujaam – Ryanair ja teised lennujaama kasutavad lennuettevõtjad (ELT C 233, 3.8.2012, lk 28).
the aid must contribute to the objective of Community interest of developing a regional airport through a net increase in traffic on new routes,
Komisjoni teatis „Komisjoni suunised lennujaamadele ja -ettevõtetele antava riigiabi kohta“ ( ELT C 99, 4.4.2014, lk 3).
the aid must be necessary in the sense that it is not granted for a route already operated by the same or another airline or a similar route,
Komisjoni teatis „Ühenduse suunised lennujaamade rahastamise ja piirkondlikest lennujaamadest opereerivate lennuettevõtete riikliku stardiabi kohta“ ( ELT C 312, 9.12.2005, lk 1).
the aid must have an incentive effect in the sense that it must help to develop an activity that, after a certain period, is likely to become profitable, which implies that the aid is limited in time,
Komisjoni otsus SA.24221 (ex CP 281/2007) – Austria – Klagenfurti lennujaam – Ryanair ja teised lennuettevõtted (ELT C 348, 3.10.2014, lk 36).
the aid must be proportional, i.e. the amount must be linked to the net development of traffic,
28. aprillil 2016 otsustas Kärnteni liidumaa lõpetada KLH ilma likvideerimismenetluseta.
the aid must have been granted transparently and without discrimination and must not be combined with other types of aid.
KLH kaudu omandatud osalused kanti üle eriotstarbelisele ühingule Kärntner Beteiligungsverwaltung (K-BVG).
