This could indicate that Airport Handling was confident to take over SEAH’s customer basis with a relatively high degree of likelihood and could thus possibly expect to benefit from SEAH’s former market position and customer contacts to attract its customers and the corresponding contracts without facing competition by other ground handling companies to win those contracts.
To bi moglo značiti da je Airport Handling bio uvjeren da će preuzeti bazu klijenata SEAH-a uz relativno visok stupanj vjerojatnosti te je, stoga, možda mogao očekivati da će ostvariti koristi od nekadašnjeg SEAH-ova tržišnog položaja i kontakata s klijentima kako bi privukao njegove klijente i odgovarajuće kontakte, a da se pritom ne mora suočiti s konkurencijom drugih društava za zemaljske usluge kako bi dobio te ugovore.
However, certain formal and material factors show that such was not the case.
Međutim, iz određenih formalnih i materijalnih čimbenika vidljivo je da to nije bio slučaj.
Firstly, as regards the form of the transfer, service contracts were not legally transferred from SEAH to Airport Handling.
Prvo, u pogledu oblika prijenosa ugovori o pružanju usluga nisu se mogli zakonski prenijeti sa SEAH-a na Airport Handling.
Airlines were thus free to select a provider other than Airport Handling as soon as their contracts with SEAH were terminated, as described in recital 43 of the present decision.
Stoga su zračni prijevoznici mogli odabrati drugog pružatelja, a ne Airport Handling, čim su njihovi ugovori sa SEAH-om raskinuti, kako je opisano u uvodnoj izjavi 43. ove odluke.
Secondly, available information suggests that customers were in a position to approach other service providers when SEAH informed them that it would cease activities.
Drugo, iz dostupnih informacija može se zaključiti da su klijenti mogli pristupiti drugim pružateljima usluga kad ih je SEAH obavijestio da će prekinuti poslovanje.
Indeed, the fact that a number of clients defected is proof that such opportunity existed.
Naime, činjenica da je niz klijenata otišao dokaz je da je takva prilika postojala.
Most importantly, SEAH had no legal grounds to unilaterally transfer the contracts to any third party, save in exceptional situations.
Najvažnije, SEAH nije imao nikakve pravne osnove da jednostrano prenese ugovore na treće strane, osim u iznimnim situacijama.
According to information provided by the Italian authorities, the clause on exceptional situations had however not been invoked.
Međutim, u skladu s informacijama koje su dostavila talijanska tijela klauzula o iznimnim situacijama nije aktivirana.
The Italian authorities provided an overview of Airport Handling’s customer base, as of 14 February 2014, which shows that out of 68 former SEAH customers, […] [8] Business secret.

klijenata).
Hence, only 20 clients concluded service contracts that in essence stipulate the same conditions as the previous contracts with SEAH.
Stoga je samo 20 klijenata sklopilo ugovore o pružanju usluga kojima se, u biti, propisuju isti uvjeti kao u prethodnim ugovorima sa SEAH-om.
% compared to prices previously agreed with SEAH.
% u usporedbi s cijenama koje su prethodno dogovorene sa SEAH-om.
In view of the above, on balance, the Commission sees no indication of circumvention of the recovery decision (and thus economic continuity) in the process that led Airport Handling to enter into agreements with a number of former customers of SEAH.
S obzirom na prethodno navedeno i kad se sve zajedno uzme u obzir, Komisija nije utvrdila naznake izbjegavanja odluke o povratu (i stoga gospodarskog kontinuiteta) u postupku koji je doveo Airport Handling do sklapanja sporazuma s nizom bivših klijenata SEAH-a.
Indeed, Airport Handling appeared to have been exposed to genuine competition when negotiating with carriers operating at Milan airports, and there are indications that competition between service providers at Milan’s airports was effectively opened when SEAH was about to exit the market.
Naime, činilo se da je Airport Handling bio izložen stvarnoj konkurenciji kad je pregovarao s prijevoznicima koji posluju u milanskim zračnim lukama te stoga postoje naznake da je tržišno natjecanje među pružateljima usluga u milanskim zračnim lukama stvarno bilo otvoreno kad je SEAH planirao izlazak s tržišta.
SEAH’s assets
Imovina SEAH-a
As a third point in the analysis of the scope of the transfer, the Commission assessed the scope of the transfer of the assets.
Kao treću točku u analizi opsega prijenosa Komisija je ocijenila opseg prijenosa imovine.
The Commission notes that, when Airport Handling started operations, it sourced 100 % of its entire ground handling equipment from SEAH through leasing.
Komisija napominje da je, kad je pokretao poslovanje, Airport Handling cjelokupnu opremu za pružanje zemaljskih usluga nabavio od SEAH-a u okviru najma.
5 months later, it started gradually replacing that equipment with assets bought on the market and finally, in September 2015, purchased […] [8] Business secret.

lotova imovine od SEAH-a.
Specifically, Airport Handling commenced providing ground handling services using SEAH’s assets under a lease contract.
Točnije, Airport Handling počeo je pružati zemaljske usluge upotrebom SEAH-ove imovine na temelju ugovora o najmu.
That contract was due to expire on 31 August 2015.
Taj je ugovor trebao isteći 31. kolovoza 2015.

Airport Handling je naveo da, iako je realno oko jedne trećine opreme za pružanje zemaljskih usluga u vlasništvu SEAH-a koja je iznajmljena društvu Airport Handling zastarjelo, Airport Handling bio je spreman steći oko […] [8] Poslovna tajna.

Available documentation suggests that sales negotiations between Airport Handling and SEAH commenced when by letter dated 3 June 2015 Airport Handling made the following proposals:

Istog su dana te strane održale sastanak.
By letter of 10 June 2015, SEAH’s liquidator responded to Airport Handling’s proposals, in the sense summarised below:
Dopisom od 10. lipnja 2015. likvidator SEAH-a odgovorio je na prijedloge društva Airport Handling na način koji se sažet u nastavku:
Although SEAH is willing to accept the offer, it is not ready to grant discounts since all prices had been determined by expert evaluations.
Iako je SEAH voljan prihvatiti ponudu, ne može odobriti popuste jer su sve cijene određene u stručnim ocjenama.
The liquidator pointed out that Airport Handling would not even have to bear any transport costs.
Likvidator je istaknuo da Airport Handling neće morati snositi ni troškove prijevoza,
SEAH does not accept payment in instalments except if Airport Handling provides adequate guarantees.
SEAH ne prihvaća plaćanje u ratama, osim ako Airport Handling dostavi odgovarajuća jamstva,
In the absence of discounts, SEAH is willing to transfer the fleet on 30 June 2015 and to agree to lend the specified items, however only until 30 November 2015 at the latest.
Budući da ne odobrava popust, SEAH je voljan prenijeti flotu 30. lipnja 2015. i posuditi određene stavke, ali najkasnije do 30. studenoga 2015.

According to Airport Handling, the purchase was nevertheless economically justified, in particular for the following reasons:
Airport Handling naveo je da je kupnja ipak bila ekonomski opravdana, posebno zbog sljedećih razloga:
Airport Handling’s business model in essence consists in having its operational hub only in one location, namely Milan airports, and therefore is based on an organisational model which provides for human resources and technical means to meet the demand of services in one single location (hub-provider business model).
Poslovni model društva Airport Handling u biti se sastoji od operativnog čvorišta na jednoj lokaciji, odnosno u milanskim zračnim lukama, te se, stoga, temelji na organizacijskom modelu u kojem su predviđeni ljudski i tehnički resursi za zadovoljenje potražnje za uslugama na jednoj lokaciji (poslovni model čvorišnog pružatelja).
In Airport Handling’s view, this model ensures better efficiency and more secure profitability margins.
Prema mišljenju društva Airport Handling tim se modelom osiguravaju veća djelotvornost i sigurnije marže profitabilnosti.
Hence, age and efficiency of the equipment would be less of a concern for Airport Handling than for operators that are active on several airports and therefore must necessarily carry out a ‘lean management’ of their equipment.
Stoga su starost i djelotvornost opreme manja briga za Airport Handling nego za subjekte koji posluju u nekoliko zračnih luka te, stoga, nužno moraju primjenjivati „lean” upravljanje svojom opremom.
Although part of the equipment was aged, a number of items were relatively recent and could be operated efficiently.
Iako je dio opreme bio star, niz stavki bio je relativno nov i mogao se djelotvorno upotrebljavati.
Items were already on the premise and therefore would not have implied any transport cost.
Stavke su već bile na lokaciji i, stoga, ne bi bilo nikakvih troškova prijevoza.
Airport Handling hoped to reduce maintenance costs, as most of the items came from the same manufacturer and were of the same model.
Airport Handling nadao se da će smanjiti troškove održavanja jer je većina stavki bila od istog proizvođača i istog modela.
When trying to purchase second-hand equipment on the market across the EU, Airport Handling found that the market did not offer enough second-hand equipment to satisfy Airport Handling’s requirements at an acceptable price.
Kad je pokušavao kupiti rabljenu opremu na tržištima u EU-u, Airport Handling utvrdio je da se na tržištu nije nudilo dovoljno rabljene opreme da bi se zadovoljile potrebe društva Airport Handling po prihvatljivoj cijeni.
A balanced mix of used and new assets should be used during the start-up phase, mainly because equipment suppliers seemed unable to provide new equipment in one go, and also because Airport Handling had reason to believe that a sudden massive increase of demand could trigger price hikes.
Uravnotežena kombinacija rabljene i nove opreme trebala se upotrebljavati u početnoj fazi, uglavnom jer se činilo da dobavljači opreme opremu ne mogu osigurati odjednom i jer je Airport Handling imao razloga vjerovati da bi naglo veliko povećanje potražnje dovelo do rasta cijena.
Hence, Airport Handling rather intended to progressively decommission used items and replace them with new ones.
Stoga je Airport Handling namjeravao postupno prestati upotrebljavati rabljene stavke i zamijeniti ih novima.
Lastly, testing a new fleet and adequately training staff to operate it during regular operations would have been difficult, in particular in the start-up phase.
Konačno, bilo bi teško tijekom redovnog poslovanja testirati novu flotu i primjereno obučavati osoblje za korištenje njome, posebno u početnoj fazi.
Airport Handling had in the meantime launched a tender procedure, from November 2014 until January 2015, for the purchase of new equipment on the market.
U međuvremenu je Airport Handling pokrenuo natječajni postupak za kupnju nove opreme na tržištu koji je trajao od studenoga 2014. do siječnja 2015.
According to the Italian authorities, the value of the equipment purchased under this first tender procedure is approx. EUR […] [8] Business secret.
Talijanska tijela navela su da je vrijednost opreme kupljene u okviru tog prvog natječajnog postupka otprilike […] [8] Poslovna tajna.
The Commission assessed whether comparing the value and number of Airport Handling’s assets purchased on the market with the value and number of items leased and then purchased from SEAH is a reliable indicator for economic continuity.
Komisija je ocijenila je li usporedba vrijednosti i komada opreme koju je Airport Handling kupio na tržištu s vrijednosti i brojem stavki koje je unajmio i zatim kupio od SEAH-a pouzdan pokazatelj gospodarskog kontinuiteta.
As regards the comparability of both types of assets, the Commission found that:
U pogledu usporedivosti tih vrsta opreme Komisija je utvrdila sljedeće:
SEAH’s liquidator had formed the lots so as to bundle in each lot items which were in working conditions together with less operational assets and items.
Likvidator SEAH-a podijelio je lotove kako bi u svakom lotu povezao stavke koje su u dobrom stanju s imovinom i stavkama koje su u lošijem stanju.
In general, SEAH’s equipment was aged.
Općenito je SEAH-ova imovina bila stara.
According to the Italian authorities, roughly […] [8] Business secret.
Talijanska tijela navela su da je otprilike […] [8] Poslovna tajna.
of the […] [8] Business secret.
od […] [8] Poslovna tajna.
items purchased from SEAH were in good or fair working order.
stavki kupljenih od SEAH-a bilo u dobrom ili prihvatljivom stanju.
About 1/3 at best could have been used to obtain spare parts.
Najviše se oko jedne trećine moglo iskoristiti za dobivanje rezervnih dijelova.
700 of the items purchased were later found to have minimal or no value/use; 270 items were then parked and decommissioned as scrap.
Za 700 kupljenih stavki kasnije je utvrđeno da imaju minimalnu ili nikakvu novčanu/uporabnu vrijednost; Tada je 270 stavki parkirano i odloženo u otpad.
Airport handling equipment is composed of a wide array of different items such as steps, trucks, forklifts, cargo-loaders and dollies.
Oprema društva Airport Handling sastavljena je od velikog broja različitih stavki, kao što su stepenice, kamioni, viličari, utovarivači tereta i kolica.
It is not excluded that even a single new state-of-the-art vehicle that is operated full time can be operated far more efficiently than multiple aged vehicles which, as a rule, require more down-time for maintenance.
Nije isključeno da čak i jedno novo moderno vozilo koje se upotrebljava cijelo vrijeme može biti daleko djelotvornije od više starih vozila za koja je, u pravilu, potrebno više vremena za održavanje.
On that basis, the Commission concludes that comparing the value and number of new equipment with the value of equipment leased and the purchased cannot be used as an indicator for economic continuity in this case.
Na temelju toga Komisija zaključuje da se u ovom predmetu usporedba vrijednosti i komada nove opreme s vrijednosti unajmljene i kupljene opreme ne može upotrijebiti kao pokazatelj gospodarskog kontinuiteta.
Against this backdrop, the Commission assessed the importance of the assets (operating tools) as a production factor in Airport Handling in proportion to labour as a production factor, and also in proportion to the turnover of both SEAH and Airport Handling.
U tom je kontekstu Komisija ocijenila važnost te imovine (alata za rad) kao proizvodnog čimbenika u društvu u ovom predmetu u odnosu na rad kao proizvodni čimbenik te u odnosu na promet SEAH-a i društva Airport Handling.
As regards the importance of assets in relation to labour, in SEAH’s last balance sheet before liquidation, the value of operating tools amounted to around EUR […] [8] Business secret.
U pogledu važnosti imovine u odnosu na rad u bilanci SEAH-a prije likvidacije vrijednost radnih alata iznosila je oko […] [8] Poslovna tajna. EUR. S druge strane, 2015.
Airport Handling, in turn, in 2015 owned capital assets worth EUR […] [8] Business secret.
Airport Handling imao je u vlasništvu kapitalnu imovinu od […] [8] Poslovna tajna.
In contrast, Airport Handling’s labour cost amounted to EUR […] [8] Business secret.
EUR. Za razliku od toga, troškovi rada društva Airport Handling iznosili su […] [8] Poslovna tajna.
in the year September 2014-August 2015, according to Airport Handling’s operating statement for that period.
EUR u godini od rujna 2014. do kolovoza 2015., u skladu s operativnim izvješćem za to razdoblje.
Asset value is also of lower importance when compared to turnover: Airport Handling’s operating statement for September 2014-August 2015 shows turnover to the amount of EUR […] [8] Business secret.
Vrijednost imovine isto je tako manje važna u usporedbi s prometom. Iz operativnog izvješća društva Airport Handling za razdoblje od rujna 2014. do kolovoza 2015. vidljiv je promet od […] [8] Poslovna tajna.
Therefore, the assets in question appear to be a production factor of minor importance compared to labour.
EUR. Stoga se čini da je predmetna imovina manje važan proizvodni čimbenik od rada.
Their value is also very modest compared to turnover generated with both labour and assets.
Uz to, njezina je vrijednost vrlo skromna u usporedbi s prometom ostvarenim od rada i imovine.
Information obtained in the formal investigation procedure rather indicates that both SEAH and Airport Handling are pursuing a pronouncedly labour intensive rather than asset intensive business model.
Naprotiv, iz informacija dobivenih tijekom službenog istražnog postupka vidljivo je da su poslovni modeli SEAH-a i društva Airport Handling bili izrazito usmjereni na rad, a ne na imovinu.
The Commission therefore concludes that, even though Airport Handling has sourced initially all its assets from SEAH, this cannot be construed as per se indicating economic continuity because assets are only a production factor of minor importance in the ground handling business.
Stoga Komisija zaključuje da, iako je Airport Handling prvotno svu svoju opremu nabavio od SEAH-a, to se samo po sebi ne može smatrati pokazateljem gospodarskog kontinuiteta jer u području zemaljskih usluga imovina kao proizvodni čimbenik ima tek manju važnost.
Summary of the assessment on the scope of the transfer
Sažetak ocjene opsega prijenosa
The assessment of the question in how far the scope of the transfer could indicate that there is economic continuity between SEAH and Airport Handling leads to the following indication:
Ocjena pitanja u kojoj mjeri opseg prijenosa može biti pokazatelj gospodarskog kontinuiteta između SEAH-a i društva Airport Handling dovodi do sljedećih naznaka:
First, there was no transfer of the client portfolio from SEAH to Airport Handling.
Prvo, nije bilo prijenosa portfelja klijenata sa SEAH-a na Airport Handling.
Rather, with the liquidation of SEAH, all contracts were terminated and Airport Handling had to reacquire contracts whereby it could attract some of the previous clients of SEAH and some new clients, and where it lost some of the clients to competitors.
Upravo suprotno, likvidacijom SEAH-a raskinuti su svi ugovori te je Airport Handling morao ponovno steći ugovore, pri čemu je mogao privući neke prethodne klijente SEAH-a i neke nove klijente, a neki su se klijenti odlučili za njegove konkurente.
The contractual conditions were negotiated independently of the previous conditions under the agreements with SEAH.
O ugovornim uvjetima pregovaralo se neovisno od prethodnih uvjeta iz sporazumā sa SEAH-om.
In this respect, Airport Handling had the same standing as any other competitor or new entrant would have had.
U tom je pogledu Airport Handling bio u jednakom položaju u kojem bi bio svaki drugi konkurent ili novi sudionik na tržištu.
The Commission considers the fact that there was no transfer of the client portfolio as a strong indication against economic continuity.
Komisija smatra da je činjenica da nije bilo prijenosa portfelja klijenata snažan pokazatelj nepostojanja gospodarskog kontinuiteta.
