Germany argued that there was no imputability to the State, using the same arguments as for the 2000 Agreement.
Njemačka je tvrdila da nema pripisivosti državi navodeći iste argumente kao za Ugovor iz 2000.
Germany pointed out that the Side Letter No 2 is an extension of the 2000 Agreement, and did not substantially change the 2000 Agreement.
Njemačka je istaknula da se Drugim popratnim pismom produljio Ugovor iz 2000. i da se njime taj ugovor nije znatno mijenjao.
As the 2000 Agreement complies with the requirements of the market, the Side Letter No 2 would also do so.
Budući da je Ugovor iz 2000. u skladu sa zahtjevima tržišta, takvo bi bilo i Drugo popratno pismo.
Lastly, Germany stated that there is no negative impact on competition or trade, since Lübeck airport is a small regional airport and is not in competition with Hamburg airport.
Konačno, Njemačka je navela da nema negativnog utjecaja na tržišno natjecanje ili trgovinu jer je zračna luka Lübeck mala regionalna zračna luka koja nije u tržišnom natjecanju sa zračnom lukom Hamburg.
Germany stated that the charges for de-icing are not individually negotiated but are based on a scheme for special services, which are applicable to all airlines.
Njemačka je navela da se o naknadama za odleđivanje ne pregovara na pojedinačnoj razini, nego se one temelje na sustavu naknada za posebne usluge primjenjivom na sve zračne prijevoznike.
Germany further noted that there was no State aid since the basic elements for such aid were absent.
Njemačka je, nadalje, navela da nije bilo državne potpore jer nisu postojali osnovni elementi za postojanje takve potpore.
Firstly, the charges were not selective.
Prvo, naknade nisu bile selektivne.
Secondly, the charges were not imputable to the State, which is confirmed by the fact that Infratil and Yasmina, two private investors, were responsible for setting those charges during the time they were operating the airport for a substantial time.
Drugo, naknade nisu bile pripisive državi, što je potvrđeno činjenicom da su Infratil i Yasmina, dva privatna ulagatelja, bili odgovorni za određivanje tih naknada tijekom znatnog vremena u kojem su upravljali zračnom lukom.
Thirdly, there was no advantage.
Treće, nije bilo prednosti.
The private investors Infratil and Yasmina decided not to change the scheme for special services, which is an indication that the de-icing charges were in accordance with the requirements of the market.
Privatni ulagatelji Infratil i Yasmina odlučili su da neće promijeniti sustav naknada za posebne usluge, što upućuje na to da su naknade za odleđivanje bile u skladu sa zahtjevima tržišta.
OBSERVATIONS FROM THIRD PARTIES
PRIMJEDBE TREĆIH STRANA
In relation to a possible State aid in favour of FLG, the majority of commenting parties agreed with Germany on the matter.
U pogledu moguće državne potpore u korist FLG-a većina strana koje su podnijele primjedbe slagala se s Njemačkom.
In particular, Ryanair, FLG, IHK Lübeck and ADV.
To su, konkretno, bili Ryanair, FLG, IHK, Lübeck i ADV.
Disagreeing third parties were SGF, BDF, and two individual persons Peter C. Klanowski and Horst Conrad.
Treće strane koje se nisu slagale bili su SGF, BDF i dva pojedinca, Peter C. Klanowski i Horst Conrad.
These parties argued that FLG received State aid from Hansestadt Lübeck:
Te su strane tvrdile da je FLG primio državnu potporu od grada Hansestadt Lübeck:
Loss transfer agreement: SGF stated that a public service obligation for the operation of the airport is only given for general aviation and does not include commercial aviation.
ugovor o prijenosu gubitaka: SGF je naveo da se obveza pružanja javne usluge u pogledu upravljanja zračnom lukom određuje samo za opći zračni prijevoz i ne uključuje komercijalni zračni prijevoz.
Contrary to what Germany stated, SGF was of the opinion that airports in Germany can be closed at the request of the operator of the airport.
Suprotno navodima Njemačke, SGF je smatrao da se zračne luke u Njemačkoj mogu zatvoriti na zahtjev upravitelja zračne luke.
SGF further stated that both the rent paid by FLG until 2006 and the rent paid afterwards are too low;
SGF je dalje naveo da su zakupnina koju je FLG plaćao do 2006. i zakupnina koju je plaćao nakon toga premale,
Lease agreement and takeover of loans: According to BDF, the failure of Germany to provide sufficient information to the Commission is an indication for the existence of aid;
ugovor o zakupu i preuzimanje zajmova: BDF navodi da činjenica da Njemačka nije dostavila dostatne informacije Komisiji upućuje na postojanje potpore,
Potential investment aid to FLG by means of 2005 Regional Airports Decision and its alleged violation: in disagreement with the statements in the opening decision, SGF stated that aid to the airport was granted prematurely, as there was no planning approval decision yet.
potencijalna potpora za ulaganje pružena FLG-u Odlukom o regionalnim zračnim lukama iz 2005. i njezina navodna povreda: SGF se ne slaže s izjavama iz odluke o pokretanju postupka te navodi da je potpora prerano dodijeljena zračnoj luci jer još nije bila donesena odluka o odobrenju planova.
According to SGF, this created a time advantage for Lübeck airport compared to other airports and threatened competition in the market.
Prema navodima SGF-a time je nastala vremenska prednost za zračnu luku Lübeck u odnosu na druge zračne luke i postojala je prijetnja da će se narušiti tržišno natjecanje.
With respect to possible aid for infrastructure measures, SGF and Klanowski are of the opinion that some of the measures (namely the financing of security fences, lighting and the instrument landing system) have to be considered operating aid.
S obzirom na moguću potporu za infrastrukturne mjere SGF i Klanowski smatraju da se neke od mjera (i to financiranje sigurnosnih ograda, osvjetljenja i sustava za instrumentalno slijetanje) moraju smatrati operativnom potporom.
Further, SGF stated that those measures do not fulfil the criteria concerning accounting and financial reporting as defined in the Altmark decision [30] by the Court of Justice.
Osim toga, SGF je naveo da te mjere ne ispunjuju kriterije u pogledu računovodstva i financijskog izvješćivanja, kako ih je Sud utvrdio u odluci Altmark [30].
Moreover, SGF is of the opinion that the measures do not follow a clearly defined objective of general interest.
Nadalje, SGF smatra da se mjerama ne slijedi jasno utvrđen cilj od općeg interesa.
In addition there is no satisfactory medium-term prospect for the use of the infrastructure.
Osim toga, ne postoje zadovoljavajući srednjoročni izgledi za upotrebu infrastrukture.
Finally, SGF stated that there is no access to the new infrastructure in an equal and non-discriminatory manner even under the new schedule of charges, as only Ryanair is able to fulfil the criteria to benefit from the lowest fees;Financing of infrastructure investments by Hansestadt Lübeck and the Land Schleswig Holstein: SGF further argued that future investments were calculated on the basis of incorrect assumptions and were therefore excessive.
Naposljetku, SGF je naveo da čak ni u okviru novog cjenika naknada nema jednakog i nediskriminarujućeg pristupa novoj infrastrukturi jer samo Ryanair može ispuniti kriterije potrebne za ostvarivanje koristi od najnižih naknada, Financiranje ulaganja u infrastrukturu koja su proveli Hansestadt Lübeck i savezna pokrajina Schleswig-Holstein: SGF je dalje tvrdio da su buduća ulaganja izračunana na temelju netočnih pretpostavki te su stoga bila prekomjerna.
Apart from the airport's failure to generate higher passenger numbers, SGF added that the airport could not curb its losses.
SGF navodi da zračna luka, osim što nije uspjela ostvariti veći broj putnika, nije mogla ni ograničiti svoje gubitke.
In reference to the North German Air Traffic Concept (‘Norddeutsches Luftverkehrskonzept’), SGF argues that all larger airports in North Germany (including Hamburg) have ample capacities at their disposal.
Upućujući na sjevernonjemački koncept zračnog prometa (njem. Norddeutsches Luftverkehrskonzept) SGF navodi da sve veće zračne luke u sjevernoj Njemačkoj (uključujući Hamburg) na raspolaganju imaju obilne kapacitete.
According to SGF, it was in the economic interest of FLG to invest in this system in order to enable the achievement of its middle-term economic goals.
SGF smatra da je bilo u gospodarskom interesu FLG-a da ulaže u taj sustav kako bi mogao ostvariti svoje srednjoročne gospodarske ciljeve,
According to SGF, the subordination of shareholder loans amounted to EUR […].
SGF navodi da je subordinacija zajmova članova društva iznosila […] EUR.
Infratil stated that the shares to FLG were purchased in accordance with a tender procedure which was Union wide, open, transparent and non-discriminatory.
Infratil je naveo da su udjeli u FLG-u kupljeni u skladu s otvorenim, transparentnim i nediskriminirajućim natječajnim postupkom na razini cijele Unije.
Moreover, the purchase price equals the market value of 90 % of the shares in FLG under the given circumstances.
Osim toga, kupoprodajna cijena jednaka je tržišnoj vrijednosti od 90 % udjela u FLG-u u danim okolnostima.
Therefore the 2005 Participation Agreement did not contain any elements of State aid.
Stoga Ugovor o sudjelovanju iz 2005. nije sadržavao nikakve elemente državne potpore.
Infratil added that it gave the best bid, which cannot be altered by the fact that Hansestadt Lübeck and Infratil entered into a second round of negotiations to modify the terms of the original agreement.
Infratil je dodao da je dao najbolju ponudu, na što ne utječe činjenica da su Hansestadt Lübeck i Infratil ušli u drugi krug pregovora kako bi izmijenili uvjete prvog ugovora.
According to Ryanair, the privatisation has been realised by an open, transparent and non-discriminatory tender procedure, as was proved by an expert report drawn up by Ernst & Young.
Ryanair navodi da je privatizacija ostvarena otvorenim, transparentnim i nediskriminirajućim natječajnim postupkom, što je dokazano stručnim izvješćem društva Ernst & Young.
In this regard, Ryanair stressed the reputation and independence of Ernst & Young.
U tom pogledu Ryanair je istaknuo ugled i neovisnost tog društva.
According to Ryanair, closing the airport would not have been an option because of economic and policy reasons.
Ryanair smatra da zatvaranje zračne luke ne bi bilo moguće zbog gospodarskih i političkih razloga.
With respect to possible State aid in connection with the privatisation of FLG, SGF expressed strong doubts as to the compatibility of the purchase price with market standard.
S obzirom na moguću državnu potporu povezanu s privatizacijom FLG-a, SGF je izrazio ozbiljnu sumnju u spojivost kupoprodajne cijene s tržišnim standardom.
Further, SGF argued that the agreement contained guarantees by Hansestadt Lübeck, which are also State aid relevant.
Osim toga, tvrdi da je ugovor sadržavao jamstva grada Hansestadt Lübeck, što je isto tako relevantno za državnu potporu.
Infratil explained that the 2009 Additional Agreement has to be seen in the context of the 2005 Participation Agreement and the condition of obtaining the planning approval.
Infratil je objasnio da se Dodatni ugovor iz 2009. mora promatrati u kontekstu Ugovora o sudjelovanju iz 2005. i uvjeta da se dobije odobrenje planova.
Since the planning approval was eventually not obtained because of the judgment of the OVG, Infratil announced that it would exercise its put option in 2008.
Budući da odobrenja planova naposljetku nije dobiveno zbog presude OVG-a, Infratil je najavio da će 2008. iskoristiti svoju opciju prodaje.
The only option for Hansestadt Lübeck to prevent Infratil from this step was the 2009 Additional Agreement.
Jedina mogućnost koju je Hansestadt Lübeck imao kako bi spriječio Infratil u toj namjeri bio je Dodatni ugovor iz 2009.
Infratil stated that the option chosen by Hansestadt Lübeck met the requirements of the market.
Infratil je naveo da je mogućnost koju je odabrao Hansestadt Lübeck bila u skladu sa zahtjevima tržišta.
If Infratil had exercised the put option, HL would have had to bear all costs and losses stemming from the operation of Lübeck airport from 31 December 2008.
Da je Infratil iskoristio opciju prodaje, HL bi morao snositi sve troškove i gubitke koji bi proizašli iz rada zračne luke Lübeck od 31. prosinca 2008.
A resale of the airport to a private investor would not have been possible within a short period of time and the closure of the airport was not an option for Hansestadt Lübeck, due to an obligation under public law and to financial reasons.
Preprodaja zračne luke privatnom ulagatelju ne bi bila moguća u kratkom roku, a zatvaranje zračne luke nije dolazilo u obzir za Hansestadt Lübeck zbog obveze na temelju javnog prava i financijskih razloga.
In addition, the departure of Infratil would probably have caused Ryanair to reduce or cease to offer its services at Lübeck airport.
Osim toga, odlazak društva Infratil vjerojatno bi za posljedicu imao da Ryanair umanji opseg svojih usluga u zračnoj luci Lübeck ili ih prestane pružati.
Therefore, Infratil stated that the operating losses of FLG would have been higher if Infratil had exercised its put option.
Stoga je Infratil naveo da bi operativni gubitci FLG-a bili veći da je Infratil iskoristio svoju opciju prodaje.
Infratil stated that the difference between the put option price paid in accordance with the 2009 Additional Agreement and the put option price that would have been payable in January 2009 had its basis in performances agreed by the parties.
Infratil je naveo da se razlika između cijene opcije prodaje plaćene u skladu s Dodatnim ugovorom iz 2009. i cijene opcije prodaje koju bi trebalo platiti u siječnju 2009. temeljila na uslugama koje su stranke ugovorile.
Hansestadt Lübeck would have had to cover all but two of the additional amounts in any case after the de-privatisation, leading to the conclusion that the 2009 Additional Agreement was the most economic (‘wirtschaftlich’) decision.
Hansestadt Lübeck bi u svakom slučaju morao pokriti sve osim dvaju dodatnih iznosa nakon deprivatizacije, što dovodi do zaključka da je Dodatni ugovor iz 2009. bio najekonomičnija (njem. wirtschaftlich) odluka.
Infratil further argued that the additional amounts did not constitute an advantage for Infratil.
Infratil je dalje tvrdio da dodatni iznosi nisu činili prednost za Infratil.
Firstly, the additional coverage of losses in 2009 would not have had to be paid by Infratil, if it had exercised its put option.
Prvo, Infratil ne bi morao pokriti dodatne gubitke iz 2009. da je iskoristio svoju opciju prodaje.
Furthermore, no advantage was conferred to Infratil since Lübeck airport was not expected to make profits in the short term, but rather to continue to make losses.
Nadalje, za Infratil nije nastala nikakva prednost jer se nije očekivalo da zračna luka Lübeck kratkoročno ostvari dobit, nego da nastavi ostvarivati gubitke.
Infratil argued that the exercise of the put option did not enable Infratil to restore the situation ex quo ante completely, since Infratil had to carry certain losses (difference between approved operating losses and actual operating losses) without compensation.
Infratil je tvrdio da iskorištavanje opcije prodaje nije omogućivalo društvu Infratil da situaciju u potpunosti vrati u stanje ex quo ante jer je Infratil morao snositi određene gubitke (razlika između odobrenih operativnih gubitaka i stvarnih operativnih gubitaka) bez naknade.
Even if the Commission were to find that the renegotiation of the put option constituted State aid, Infratil considers it to be in compliance with the internal market.
Čak i da Komisija utvrdi da su ponovni pregovori o opciji prodaje činili državnu potporu, Infratil smatra da bi ta potpora bila spojiva s unutarnjim tržištem.
If the Commission were to find that Hansestadt Lübeck granted aid to Infratil by taking over losses incurred by FLG in 2009, according to Infratil such aid would merely have been a compensation for the losses incurred in the discharge of services of general economic interest.
Da Komisija utvrdi da je Hansestadt Lübeck dodijelio potporu društvu Infratil preuzimanjem gubitaka koji su 2009. nastali za FLG, Infratil smatra da bi takva potpora samo činila naknadu za gubitke nastale tijekom pružanja usluga od općeg gospodarskog interesa.
Hansestadt Lübeck argued that the agreement to take over losses was the least costly and risky alternative.
Hansestadt Lübeck tvrdio je da je ugovor o preuzimanju gubitaka bio najpovoljnija opcija koja je uključivala najmanje rizika.
This is particularly justified on the basis of the legal obligation for Hansestadt Lübeck to operate the airport according to paragraph 45(1) of the German Air Traffic Authorisation Regulation (Luftverkehrs-Zulassungs-Ordnung, ‘LuftVZO’).
To se posebno opravdava zakonskom obvezom grada Hansestadt Lübeck da upravlja zračnom lukom na temelju članka 45. stavka 1. njemačkog Pravilnika o dozvolama u zračnom prometu (njem. Luftverkehrs-Zulassungs-Ordnung – LuftVZO).
Therefore, a closing of the airport would not have been an option.
Stoga zatvaranje zračne luke nije dolazilo u obzir.
In addition, closing the airport would have consumed too much time and resources.
Osim toga, zatvaranje zračne luke oduzelo bi previše vremena i resursa.
Additionally, Hansestadt Lübeck reminded the Commission that neither Hansestadt Lübeck nor Infratil had previous experience with the privatisation of an airport.
Usto, Hansestadt Lübeck podsjetio je Komisiju da ni on ni Infratil nisu imali prethodnog iskustva s privatizacijom zračne luke.
This may lead to certain miscalculations, but certainly not to the conclusion that either party did not act in accordance with market principles.
To može dovesti do određenih pogrešnih izračuna, ali sigurno ne može dovesti do zaključka da bilo koja od stranaka nije djelovala u skladu s tržišnim načelima.
Furthermore, Hansestadt Lübeck argued that Infratil was the only bidder in the context of the privatisation, therefore minimising the negotiating power of Hansestadt Lübeck.
Nadalje, Hansestadt Lübeck tvrdio je da je Infratil bio jedini ponuditelj u kontekstu privatizacije, čime se pregovaračka moć grada Hansestadt Lübeck svela na najmanju moguću mjeru.
SGF submitted that the 2009 Additional Agreement constitutes new aid, leading to an advantage for Infratil.
SGF je u svojem podnesku naveo da Dodatni ugovor iz 2009. čini novu potporu koja dovodi do prednosti za Infratil.
As that the aid exceeds the de minimis threshold, it should have been notified, which Germany failed to do.
Budući da potpora premašuje prag de minimis, trebalo ju je prijaviti, što Njemačka nije učinila.
In that context, SGF stated that Lübeck airport had no prospects of profitability.
U tom kontekstu SGF je naveo da zračna luka Lübeck nije imala izglede za profitabilnost.
SGF added that FLG could only prevent insolvency in the beginning of 2008 because of the concessions made by Infratil.
SGF je dodao da je FLG početkom 2008. mogao spriječiti nesolventnost samo zbog ustupaka koje je učinio Infratil.
SGF disagreed that the MEO test was fulfilled, since no private investor would have been willing to keep operating with such losses, as the exercise of Infratil's put option shows.
SGF se nije složio s tim da su ispunjeni uvjeti subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu jer nijedan privatni ulagatelj ne bi pristao na nastavak rada uz takve gubitke, što dokazuje činjenica da je Infratil iskoristio opciju prodaje.
With regard to the closure of the airport, SGF argued that Hamburg is equipped with sufficient capacities to operate without Lübeck as back-up airport.
U pogledu zatvaranja zračne luke SGF je tvrdio da je zračna luka Hamburg opremljena dovoljnim kapacitetima i da joj za rad nije potrebna zračna luka Lübeck kao pomoćna zračna luka.
In addition, according to SGF, the costs for closure were overestimated by FLG.
Osim toga, SGF smatra da je FLG precijenio troškove zatvaranja.
Table 5 was deemed more realistic, even though it may still be an overestimation according to SGF:
SGF tablicu 5. smatra realističnijom, iako su i iznosi u njoj možda precijenjeni:
Costs for closure of Lübeck airport as submitted by Schutzgemeinschaft
Troškovi zatvaranja zračne luke Lübeck koje je dostavio Schutzgemeinschaft
In thousands EUR
u tisućama EUR
Costs of liquidator
Troškovi likvidatora
Current losses for temporary continuation until 2010/2011
Trenutačni gubitci za privremeni nastavak rada do 2010./2011.
Social plan
Socijalni plan
Repayment of subsidies
Povrat subvencija
Costs of auditor
Troškovi revizora
Additionally, the alleged duty to operate the airport as a public service is questioned by SGF, since the permit to operate the airport does not lead to a service of general economic interest.
Osim toga, SGF sumnja u navodnu obvezu upravljanja zračnom lukom kao javnu uslugu jer iz dozvole za upravljanje zračnom lukom ne proizlazi usluga od općeg gospodarskog interesa.
Such a permit can be cancelled.
Takva se dozvola može ukinuti.
Ryanair argued that the difference between the put option prices agreed in 2005 and 2009 and the actual put option price paid by Hansestadt Lübeck could have been caused by a number of factors, such as trends in asset prices.
Ryanair je tvrdio da je razliku između cijena opcije prodaje dogovorenih 2005. i 2009. i stvarne cijene opcije prodaje koju je platio Hansestadt Lübeck mogao prouzročiti niz čimbenika, kao što su kretanja cijena imovine.
Economic conditions prevailing in 2005 were far more buoyant than in 2009, and the difference in price may have been a reflection of this.
Gospodarski uvjeti koji su prevladavali 2005. bili su daleko povoljniji od onih 2009., što se moglo odražavati i u razlici u cijenama.
Ryanair stated that the contract with FLG was entered into on the basis of economic considerations.
Ryanair je naveo da je ugovor s FLG-om sklopljen na temelju razmatranja gospodarskih čimbenika.
Lübeck airport was seen as a viable secondary airport to Hamburg airport and Lübeck itself was regarded as valuable cultural destination.
Zračna luka Lübeck smatrala se održivom sekundarnom zračnom lukom u odnosu na zračnu luku Hamburg, a sam grad Lübeck smatrao se vrijednim kulturnim odredištem.
In addition, services were launched at Lübeck airport to secure a low cost base and to analyse the demographics so as to establish whether there was a sufficient hinterland surrounding a new airport.
Osim toga, u zračnoj luci Lübeck pokrenute su usluge kojima bi se osigurala baza za niskotarifne prijevoznike i provela demografska analiza kako bi se utvrdilo postoji li dovoljno zaleđe koje okružuje novu zračnu luku.
Even though Ryanair could not offer a business plan to substantiate its decision to start services at Lübeck airport, Ryanair emphasised that such a business plan is not generally required for a private market investor.
Iako Ryanair nije mogao ponuditi poslovni plan kojim bi se potkrijepila njegova odluka da počne pružati usluge u zračnoj luci Lübeck, taj je zračni prijevoznik istaknuo da se od privatnog ulagatelja na tržištu ne zahtijeva općenito da ima takav poslovni plan.
Ryanair explained that its services from Lübeck airport were discontinued because of commercial considerations, including cost increases and a yield lower than anticipated (as a consequence of economic recession).
Ryanair je objasnio da su usluge koje je pružao u zračnoj luci Lübeck prekinute zbog komercijalnih razloga, uključujući povećane troškove i prinose manje od očekivanih (kao posljedica gospodarske recesije).
Ryanair stated that regional airports in the Union are in a difficult market position.
Ryanair je naveo da su regionalne zračne luke u Uniji u teškom tržišnom položaju.
Therefore, airport revenues from both aeronautic and non-aeronautical activities have to be taken into consideration, which is referred to as the ‘single till approach’.
Stoga se u obzir moraju uzeti prihodi zračne luke od zrakoplovnih i nezrakoplovnih djelatnosti, što je poznato kao „pristup jedne blagajne”.
