Thus, the charges paid by Ryanair for airport services at other airports cannot serve as benchmark for the application of the market economy operator principle.
Prema tome, naknade koje je Ryanair platio za usluge zračne luke u drugim zračnim lukama ne mogu se uzeti kao referentne u svrhu primjene načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
This is, however, subject to the condition that that negative price is offset, over a period of time, by an expected increase in the revenues from the operation of an airline, whether these revenues have an aeronautical or a non-aeronautical origin.
Međutim, pod uvjetom da tu negativnu cijenu kroz određeno razdoblje nadoknadi anticipirani porast prihoda nastalih od upravljanja zračnom linijom, podrijetlo tih prihoda jest zrakoplovno ili izvanzrakoplovno.
In the present case, the non-aeronautical revenues could not be sufficient and were unlikely to be developed to the extent necessary and sufficient during the five-year term of the airport services agreement.
U ovom slučaju, izvanzrakoplovni prihodi nisu mogli biti dostatni i nije ih se moglo razvijati u nužnom i dostatnom omjeru tijekom petogodišnjeg razdoblja Ugovora o uslugama zračne luke.
Finally, airports for which a negative price might be justified are few in number and do not feature in the sample selected.
Naposljetku, malobrojne su zračne luke kod kojih negativna cijena može biti opravdana i ne nalaze se u odabranom uzorku.
In this regard, the Commission considers that the characteristics of the airports that make up the sample are too disparate to provide a satisfactory basis for analysis.
U tom pogledu Komisija smatra da su značajke zračnih luka u tom uzorku prerazličite da bi poslužile kao zadovoljavajuća osnova za analizu.
Moreover, Ryanair has not shown how the airports mentioned in the study are sufficiently comparable in terms of traffic volume and type of traffic, type and level of airport services, the presence of a large city in the vicinity of the airport, the number of inhabitants in the catchment area, prosperity in the surrounding area, and the existence of different geographical areas likely to attract passengers.
Nadalje, Ryanair nije pokazao po čemu su zračne luke navedene u studiji dovoljno usporedive u pogledu opsega prometa, vrste prometa, vrste i razine usluga zračne luke, blizine nekog velikog grada pokraj zračne luke, broja stanovnika u prihvatnom području, prosperiteta okolnog područja i postojanja drugih geografskih područja koja bi mogla privući putnike.
Neither France nor any interested party has cited the existence of airports that are sufficiently comparable to Angoulême airport in terms of those various criteria.
Ni Francuska ni ijedna treća zainteresirana osoba nisu, uostalom, navele zračne luke koje bi bile dovoljno usporedive sa Zračnom lukom Angoulême u smislu tih različitih kriterija.
In such conditions, the Commission considers that, in this context and taking into account all the information available to it, there are no grounds for departing from the approach recommended in the new aviation guidelines for applying the MEO principle to relations between airports and airlines, i.e. an ex ante analysis of supplementary (or incremental) profitability.
U takvim uvjetima, Komisija smatra da se u sadašnjem kontekstu i uzevši u obzir sve elemente koji su joj na raspolaganju ne treba udaljiti od pristupa na koji pozivaju nove smjernice za zračni prijevoz u svrhu primjene načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu na odnose između zračnih luka i zračnih prijevoznika, odnosno ex ante analize dodatne (ili inkrementalne) profitabilnosti.
This approach is justified by the fact that an airport manager has an objective interest in concluding a transaction with an airline if it can be reasonably expected that this transaction improves its profits (or reduces its losses) compared with a counterfactual situation in which the transaction was not concluded, irrespective of any comparison.
Ovaj je pristup opravdan činjenicom da upravitelj zračne luke ima objektivan interes za zaključivanje transakcije sa zračnim prijevoznikom ako može razumno očekivati da će taj posao povećati njegovu dobit (ili smanjiti njegove gubitke) u odnosu na protučinjeničnu situaciju u kojoj takva transakcija ne bi bila zaključena, i to neovisno o bilo kakvoj usporedbi.
Conclusion on the method used for the application of the market economy investor principle
Zaključak o detaljnim pravilima za primjenu načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu
It follows from all of the foregoing that, to apply the market economy operator principle to the 2008 agreements, the Commission must jointly analyse the marketing services agreement and the airport services agreement concluded simultaneously and must determine whether a hypothetical market economy operator guided by prospects of profitability and managing Angoulême airport in the stead of CCI-airport and SMAC would have concluded such agreements.
Iz svega što prethodi proizlazi da za primjenu načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu na Ugovore iz 2008. Komisija treba zajedno analizirati Ugovor o marketinškim uslugama i Ugovor o uslugama zračne luke koji su istodobno sklopljeni te treba utvrditi bi li pretpostavljeni subjekt u tržišnom gospodarstvu, koji je vođen izgledima za profitabilnost te koji upravlja Zračnom lukom Angoulême umjesto odjela CCI-zračna luka i sindikata SMAC, sklopio te Ugovore.
To this end, it is necessary to assess the incremental profitability of the 2008 agreements throughout their period of application, as the market economy operator would have assessed them when concluding the agreements, by estimating:
U tu svrhu, treba odrediti inkrementalnu profitabilnost Ugovora iz 2008. za cijelo trajanje njihove primjene, kako bi je procijenio subjekt u tržišnom gospodarstvu u trenutku sklapanja ugovora, procjenjujući:
the future incremental traffic expected from the implementation of the 2008 agreements, taking into account the effects of the marketing services on the load factor of the routes covered by the agreement,
očekivani budući inkrementalni promet od provedbe Ugovora iz 2008., uzevši u obzir učinke marketinških usluga na stope popunjenosti iz Ugovora,
the future incremental revenues expected from the implementation of the 2008 agreements, including revenues from aeronautical charges and ground handling services generated by the routes covered by these agreements and the non-aeronautical revenues from the additional traffic generated by the implementation of these agreements,
očekivane buduće inkrementalne prihode od provedbe Ugovora iz 2008., uključujući prihode od zrakoplovnih naknada i od zemaljskih usluga koji potječu od zračnih linija iz ovih Ugovora te prihode od izvanzrakoplovnih prihoda od dodatnog prometa nastalog provedbom ovih Ugovora,
the expected future incremental costs of implementing the 2008 agreements, including operating costs and any incremental investment costs generated by the routes covered by these agreements, as well as the costs of marketing services.
očekivane buduće inkrementalne troškove provedbe Ugovora iz 2008., uključujući operativne troškove i eventualne inkrementalne troškove od ulaganja zbog zračnih linija iz ovih Ugovora te troškove marketinških usluga.
These calculations should provide the future annual flows corresponding to the difference between incremental revenues and costs, to be discounted if necessary with a discount rate reflecting the cost of capital for the airport manager.
Iz tih izračuna trebaju proizaći budući godišnji tokovi koji odgovaraju razlici između prihoda i inkrementalnih troškova, koje treba diskontirati, ako je potrebno, po stopi koja odražava cijenu kapitala za upravitelja zračne luke.
A positive net discounted value indicates in principle that the relevant agreements do not confer an economic advantage while a negative net discounted value indicates the presence of such an advantage.
Diskontirana neto pozitivna vrijednost načelno ukazuje na to da dotični Ugovori ne daju gospodarsku prednost, dok diskontirana neto negativna vrijednost ukazuje na to da takva prednost postoji.
It should be noted that, in the context of such an assessment, Ryanair’s arguments that the price of the marketing services acquired by SMAC is equivalent to or lower than what can be considered a ‘market price’ for such services is irrelevant.
Treba primijetiti da, u takvoj procjeni, nisu primjereni argumenti društva Ryanair prema kojima je cijena marketinških usluga koje je kupio SMAC jednaka ili manja od onoga što se za takve usluge može smatrati „tržišnom cijenom”.
Indeed, a market economy operator guided by prospects of profitability would not be ready to acquire such services, even at a price lower than or equal to the ‘market price’, if it foresaw that, despite the positive impact of those services on the routes concerned, the incremental costs incurred by the agreements exceeded the incremental revenues in discounted value terms.
Naime, subjekt u tržišnom gospodarstvu koji je vođen izgledima za profitabilnost ne bi bio spreman kupiti takve usluge, čak ni po cijeni koja je niža ili jednaka „tržišnoj cijeni” ako je predvidio da će, unatoč pozitivnom utjecaju takvih usluga na posjećenost dotičnih zračnih linija, inkrementalni troškovi nastali Ugovorima biti veći od inkrementalnih prihoda po diskontiranoj vrijednosti.
In such a case, the ‘market price’ would be beyond its willingness to pay and it would therefore logically be led to waive the benefits in question.
Naime, u takvom će slučaju, „tržišna cijena” biti veća od njegove sposobnosti plaćanja što bi ga logično navelo na odustajanje od dotičnih usluga.
For the same reasons, the fact that the prices provided for in the airport services agreement may be better than or in line with the prices charged by managers of slightly comparable airports is irrelevant in the context of this analysis, since they cannot be expected to lead to incremental revenues sufficient to cover the incremental costs.
Iz istih će razloga činjenica da cijene predviđene Ugovorom o uslugama zračne luke mogu biti veće ili jednake cijenama koje utvrđuju upravitelji zračnih luka, ma koliko su malo usporedive, biti neprimjerena u ovoj analizi ako nije moguće očekivati da te cijene dovedu do inkrementalnih prihoda koji su dostatni za pokrivanje inkrementalnih troškova.
Application of the market economy operator principle
Primjena načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu
For the purposes of assessing the 2008 agreements and in the light of the foregoing considerations, it should be recalled that both the existence and the amount of aid must be assessed in the light of the situation prevailing at the time of their conclusion, and more precisely, taking account of the information available and the developments foreseeable at that time.
U svrhu procjene Ugovora iz 2008. i uzevši u obzir prethodna razmatranja, treba podsjetiti da je potrebno ocijeniti postojanje i važnost elemenata potpore u Ugovorima uzevši u obzir prevladavajuću situaciju u trenutku njihova sklapanja te, još preciznije, raspoložive podatke i razvoj koji je tada bilo moguće predvidjeti.
For an estimated potential traffic of 100 000 passengers per year, the findings of the study are as follows:
Za potencijalni promet procijenjen na 100 000 putnika godišnje, iz studije su proizašli sljedeći rezultati:
Year 3
Godina 3.
Negative balance of profit-and-loss account
Negativni saldo poslovnog računa
Marketing aid
Marketinška potpora
Annual expenditure charged to SMAC
Godišnji rashod koji snosi SMAC
This document does not correspond to a business plan in the light of which the Commission could undertake an assessment of compliance with the market economy operator criterion.
Ovaj dokument ne odgovara poslovnom planu koji Komisija treba analizirati u pogledu ispunjavanja kriterija subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
The reference data used in these forecasts are not specified and the assumptions made are not sufficiently detailed.
Naime, podatci koji su poslužili za ta predviđanja nisu navedeni, a usvojene pretpostavke nisu dovoljno podrobno opisane.
Moreover, this estimate is made over a three-year period whereas it was established, prior to the conclusion of the 2008 agreements, that they should be implemented over a period of five years.
Usto, ova se procjena odnosi na trogodišnje razdoblje, iako je prije sklapanja Ugovora iz 2008. utvrđeno da isti trebaju biti provedeni u petogodišnjem razdoblju.
In any event, the Commission notes that these estimates tend to show that SMAC, as manager of Angoulême airport, did not act in line with the behaviour of a prudent market economy operator.
U svakom slučaju, Komisija utvrđuje da se tim predviđanjima nastoji utvrditi da SMAC, u svojstvu upravitelja Zračne luke Angoulême, nije djelovao u skladu s ponašanjem razumnog subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
It is clear from that 2006 forward study that SMAC could not already be unaware at that time that the opening of a route between Angoulême and London operated by a low-cost airline would translate into significant operating losses and consequently high financing needs.
Naime, iz te studije predviđanja iz 2006. proizlazi da je SMAC tada trebao znati da će zračna linija između Angoulêmea i Londona kojom upravlja niskotarifni zračni prijevoznik dovesti do znatnih operativnih gubitaka, a time i do potrebe za velikim financijskim sredstvima.
Despite this information that SMAC had at the time of the conclusion of the 2008 agreements, SMAC did not consider it necessary to commission a business plan or any other equivalent prior economic analysis of agreements to be concluded with Ryanair and AMS, in order to support, from an economic point of view, its decision to undertake those commitments.
Unatoč tim informacijama kojima je SMAC raspolagao u trenutku sklapanja Ugovora iz 2008., nije ocijenio potrebnim dati izraditi poslovni plan ili bilo koju drugu jednakovrijednu prethodnu gospodarsku analizu Ugovora koje će sklopiti s društvima Ryanair i AMS koja bi, s gospodarskog stajališta, potkrijepila njegovu odluku da preuzme te obveze.
According to Ryanair, the absence of a business plan at the time of the conclusion of agreements such as those covered by the formal investigation procedure cannot be used as proof of failure to comply with the market economy operator principle.
Prema mišljenju društva Ryanair, nepostojanje poslovnog plana u trenutku sklapanja Ugovora kao što su predviđeni formalnim istražnim postupkom, ne može biti upotrijebljeno kao dokaz nepoštovanja načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
The absence of a business plan, or more generally any quantitative cost-benefit analysis carried out prior to the conclusion of an agreement, is a serious indication that the MEO principle was not complied with.
U tom smislu, nepostojanje poslovnog plana ili, općenitije, bilo kakve brojčane analize profitabilnosti koja bi bila provedena prije sklapanja Ugovora predstavlja ozbiljan pokazatelj da načelo subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu nije poštovano.
This is all the more true in this case since the manager of Angoulême airport possessed, prior to the conclusion of the 2008 agreements, information such as to cast doubt on its economic viability in the event of the conclusion of an agreement to develop a low-cost service to London.
To je još očitije u ovom slučaju jer je upravitelj Zračne luke Angoulême prije sklapanja Ugovora iz 2008. raspolagao informacijama koje su dovodile u pitanje njegovu gospodarsku profitabilnost u slučaju sklapanja ugovora o razvoju niskotarifne zračne veze prema Londonu.
The Commission considers it necessary to point out in this context that France has not provided any evidence to show that the airport manager carried out an analysis of the risk taken in relation to the profits that could be expected from the 2008 agreements at the time of their conclusion.
Komisija u tom kontekstu smatra korisnim istaknuti da Francuska nije dostavila nijedan element iz kojeg bi se utvrdilo da je upravitelj zračne luke analizirao rizik u trenutku sklapanja Ugovora iz 2008. u odnosu na koristi koje su mogle proizaći iz tih Ugovora.
France argues, instead, that SMAC’s decision was based on the wish to ensure the continued existence of Angoulême airport and was guided by a regional development objective.
Francuska je, međutim, istaknula da se odluka sindikata SMAC temeljila na težnji da Zračnu luku Angoulême učini dugoročno održivom vodeći se ciljem regionalnog razvoja.
However, this claim is further indication that the conclusion of the 2008 agreements with Ryanair and AMS was not guided principally by prospects of profitability.
Takva je tvrdnja dodatni pokazatelj kojim se upućuje na zaključak da se pri sklapanju Ugovora iz 2008. s društvima Ryanair i AMS nije vodilo izgledima za profitabilnost.
The Commission considers that this conclusion is borne out by its evaluation of what would have been the cost-benefit analysis conducted by a prudent market economy operator in relation to the 2008 agreements.
Komisija smatra da je taj zaključak potvrđen njezinom procjenom onoga što bi bila analiza profitabilnosti koju provodi razuman subjekt u tržišnom gospodarstvu o Ugovorima iz 2008.
To this end, the Commission conducted its own analysis by relying solely on the incremental costs and revenues of the 2008 agreements, as a market economy operator would have evaluated them a priori, in accordance with the new guidelines.
Komisija je u tu svrhu provela vlastitu analizu samo na temelju inkrementalnih troškova i prihoda iz Ugovora iz 2008., onako kako bi ih subjekt u tržišnom gospodarstvu a priori procijenio u skladu s novim smjernicama.
The assumptions made and the results of the analysis are presented below.
Usvojene pretpostavke i rezultati analize izneseni su u nastavku.
The Commission considers it worth recalling in the context of this analysis that, following the adoption of the new guidelines, both France and the interested parties were invited to comment on the application to the present case of the provisions of these guidelines (see recitals 8 and 9).
Komisija smatra prikladnim podsjetiti na kontekst ove analize u kojem su, nakon donošenja novih smjernica, Francuska i zainteresirane strane bile pozvane iznijeti opaske na primjenu odredaba tih smjernica na ovaj predmet (vidjeti uvodne izjave 8. i 9.).
In the present case, neither France nor the interested parties contested the substance of the Commission’s approach according to which, since it is impossible to define an appropriate benchmark to establish a true market price for the services provided by airports to airlines, the most relevant criterion for the assessment of the arrangements concluded between the two parties is an ex ante analysis of their supplementary profitability.
U ovom slučaju, ni Francuska ni zainteresirane strane nisu u bîti osporile pristup Komisije prema kojem ako nije moguće utvrditi neki element usporedbe radi određivanja vjerne tržišne cijene usluga koje zračne luke pružaju zračnim prijevoznicima, najrelevantniji kriterij za procjenu dogovora koje te dvije strane zaključuju jest ex ante analiza dodatne profitabilnosti.
Time-frame
Vremenski okvir
When deciding whether or not to conclude an airport services agreement and/or a marketing services agreement, an MEO would have chosen as a time frame for its assessment either the term of the agreements in question or the term stipulated in each agreement taken separately.
Procjenjujući interes za sklapanje ugovora o uslugama zračne luke i/ili ugovora o marketinškim uslugama, subjekt u tržišnom gospodarstvu za vremenski bi okvir svoje procjene odabrao trajanje dotičnih ugovora ili razdoblje predviđeno svakim ugovorom zasebno.
In other words, it would have assessed the incremental costs and revenues during the term of application of the agreements.
Drugim riječima, procijenio bi inkrementalne troškove i prihode tijekom razdoblja primjene ugovora.
There does not seem to be any justification for choosing a longer period.
Ne čini se opravdanim odabrati dulje razdoblje.
On the dates on which the agreements were concluded, a prudent MEO would not have counted on the agreements being renewed once they expired, whether under the same or new terms.
Naime, razuman subjekt u tržišnom gospodarstvu na dane sklapanja ugovora ne bi računao na produljenje ugovora po njihovu isteku, pod istim ili različitim uvjetima.
This is all the more true since a normally prudent manager could not possibly fail to be aware that low-cost airlines such as Ryanair were and are known for being very responsive to market developments in their business dealings, both when starting up or shutting down routes and when increasing or decreasing the number of flights.
To je tim točnije jer uobičajeno razuman upravitelj morao bi znati da su niskotarifni zračni prijevoznici poput društva Ryanair poznati po vrlo dinamičnom razvoju svojih djelatnosti, da otvaraju i zatvaraju zračne linije ili povećavaju i smanjuju njihov promet radi prilagodbe tržišnim kretanjima.
It should also be noted that, in applying the market economy operator principle, the fact that Ryanair did not operate certain routes throughout the entire period provided for in the 2008 agreements was not taken into account since that factor was neither known nor foreseeable at the time those agreements were concluded.
Treba napomenuti i da, u okviru primjene načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu, nije uzeta u obzir činjenica da Ryanair nije poslovao na određenim zračnim linijama za vrijeme cjelokupnog razdoblja predviđenog Ugovorima iz 2008. jer taj element nije bio poznat niti ga je bilo moguće predvidjeti u trenutku sklapanja tih Ugovora.
In what follows, the Commission will examine the assumptions used to analyse the 2008 agreements concluded with Ryanair/AMS as regards incremental revenues and costs and traffic, before proceeding to present the results of its analysis of these agreements.
U daljnjoj argumentaciji, Komisija će ispitati odabrane pretpostavke u pogledu prometa, inkrementalnih prihoda i troškova radi analize Ugovora iz 2008. sklopljenih s društvom Ryanair/AMS nakon čega će iznijeti rezultate analize tih Ugovora.
Incremental traffic and forecast number of turnarounds
Procjena inkrementalnog prometa i predviđenog broja povratnih letova
The incremental traffic forecast was calculated on the basis of the frequencies for the Angoulême-London route as provided for in the airport services and marketing services agreements and the resulting number of annual turnarounds.
Predviđeni inkrementalni promet utvrđen je na temelju prometa predviđenog za zračnu liniju Angoulême – London Ugovorom o uslugama zračne luke i Ugovorom o marketinškim uslugama te na temelju broja godišnjih povratnih letova koji iz njih proizlaze.
Moreover, the Commission took into account the capacity of the aircraft used by Ryanair, namely Boeing 737-800s configured with 189 seats.
Nadalje, Komisija je uzela u obzir kapacitet zrakoplova kojima se služi Ryanair, tj. zrakoplova Boeing 737-800 sa 189 mjesta.
The Commission thus assumes a load factor of 85 % per flight.
Komisija tako pretpostavlja stopu popunjenosti od 85 % po letu.
It is a hypothesis which is favourable to Ryanair, since an 85 % rate is high.
Ova pretpostavka pogoduje društvu Ryanair jer je stopa od 85 % visoka.
Moreover, this rate is slightly above the average for the flights operated by Ryanair on its network and equal to or above the load factor proposed by France for the various agreements in its reconstruction of the cost-benefit analyses.
Ta je stopa, uostalom, nešto veća od prosjeka na letovima društva Ryanair u njegovoj mreži te je veća ili jednaka stopi popunjenosti koju Francuska predlaže za različite ugovore u svojoj rekonstrukciji analize profitabilnosti.
