On 3 March 2003, Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH (named ‘AOC’ in the agreement) and Ryanair (‘Ryanair Limited’) signed an agreement for airport services for a duration of 10 years.
Društva Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH (u ugovoru „AOC”) i Ryanair („Ryanair Limited”) sklopila su 3. ožujka 2003. desetogodišnji ugovor o uslugama zračne luke.
The agreement entered into force with the daily scheduled service to London-Stansted, which was to start on 1 May 2003.
Ugovor je stupio na snagu početkom svakodnevnog redovitog zračnog prijevoza prema zračnoj luci London-Stansted, koji je trebao započeti 1. svibnja 2003.
According to this agreement, Ryanair pays AOC:
U skladu s tim ugovorom Ryanair AOC-u plaća sljedeće:
a fee for the operation of passenger air services according to AOC's scale of charges in effect on the day of the service;
naknadu za obavljanje usluga zračnog prijevoza putnika na temelju pravilnika o naknadama AOC-a koji vrijedi na dan obavljanja usluge;
an amount equal to passenger security taxes and state fees (‘DE tax’) at the rate in force at the time of operation of the flight.
iznos u visini naknade za sigurnost putnika i državne naknade („njemački porez”) u iznosu koji vrijedi u trenutku predmetnog leta;
The original charge amounts to ‘Four euro and fifty one cents (EUR 4,08)’ [43].
početna naknada iznosi „četiri eura i pedesetijedan cent (4,08 EUR)” [43].
The agreement also specifies the intention of both parties to try to reduce the DE tax if the passenger volume through the airport grows.
U ugovoru je utvrđena i namjera obiju strana da ustraju na smanjenju njemačkog poreza ako se poveća broj putnika u zračnoj luci.
Ryanair is to collect the original charge as a minimum charge in any event.
Ryanair u svakom slučaju mora naplaćivati početnu naknadu kao minimalnu naknadu.
Germany states that Ryanair paid the fees for the operation of the services according to the AOC standard fee regulation in force at the time, corresponding to a fixed landing fee of […]* per aircraft and a passenger fee of […]* per passenger (without VAT) [44] (fees paid in June 2009).
Njemačka izjavljuje da je Ryanair platio naknade za obavljanje usluga u skladu sa standardnim pravilnikom o naknadama zračne luke AOC koji je vrijedio u predmetnom razdoblju. To je odgovaralo fiksnoj naknadi za slijetanje u iznosu od […]* po zrakoplovu i naknadi za putnike u iznosu od […]* po putniku (bez PDV-a) [44] (naknade plaćene u lipnju 2009.).

Under the first marketing agreement concluded between Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH (named ‘AOC’ in the agreement) and Ryanair on 7 April 2003, valid as from 15 April 2003 for 10 years, Ryanair is to undertake marketing efforts to promote the Altenburg area.
U skladu s prvim ugovorom o marketingu između društava Flugplatz-Altenburg-Nobitz-GmbH (u ugovoru „AOC”) i Ryanair od 7. travnja 2003., koji je 15. travnja 2003. stupio na snagu na deset godina, Ryanair provodi marketinške aktivnosti radi promidžbe regije Altenburg.
The agreement gives Ryanair the final say as regards all decisions on promotion and advertising, except in relation to AOC's website.
U skladu s ugovorom društvo Ryanair, uz iznimku web-mjesta AOC-a, ima posljednju riječ u svim odlukama o mjerama promidžbe i oglašavanja.
In consideration of the tasks undertaken by Ryanair, Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH is to pay the following fees:
Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH plaća sljedeće naknade za obveze koje preuzima Ryanair:
a ‘success fee’ per departing passenger, to result in a net charge to be paid by Ryanair per passenger in respect of landing, local air traffic control, lighting, parking (not including overnight parking), ramp and passenger handling, infrastructure and passenger service charge for the passenger air services.
„naknadu za uspjeh” po otpremljenom putniku, čiji je rezultat neto naknada za usluge zračne luke koju plaća Ryanair po putniku s obzirom na slijetanje, lokalna kontrola zračnog prometa, rasvjetu, mjesto za parkiranje (bez noćnog parkiranja), otpremu sa stajanke i otpremu putnika, infrastrukturu i naknadu zračne luke/naknadu za putnike.
AOC is to calculate the net charge per passenger according to the passenger load sheets and to present the calculation to Ryanair at the end of each week.
AOC izračunava neto naknadu po putniku na temelju planova ukrcaja za putnike (planovi opterećenja, eng. loadsheets) i dostavlja izračun društvu Ryanair na kraju svakog tjedna.
Ryanair is to calculate the success fee and present the calculation to AOC in a 30-day period after the end of each month;
Ryanair izračunava naknadu za uspjeh i AOC-u dostavlja izračun u roku od 30 dana od kraja mjeseca.
the calculation is to be based upon the services of the preceding calendar month.
Izračun se temelji na uslugama pojedinog prethodnog kalendarskog mjeseca.
Ryanair may deduct its success fee from AOC's monthly bills of the landing fees.

The marketing agreement of 28 August 2008
Ugovor o marketingu od 28. kolovoza 2008.
A second marketing services agreement was concluded between Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH (named ‘AOC’ in the agreement) and Airport Marketing Services on 28 August 2008.
Društva Flugplatz-Altenburg-Nobitz-GmbH (u ugovoru „AOC”) i Airport-Marketing-Services Limited sklopila su 28. kolovoza 2008. drugi ugovor o marketinškim uslugama.
According to the agreement, AOC intends to actively promote the city's and the region's facilities and increase the share of inbound passengers on Ryanair's services and hence maximise the airport's non-aeronautical revenues.
U skladu s tim ugovorom AOC namjerava aktivno provoditi mjere oglašavanja za subjekte iz grada i regije, povećati udjel putnika koji dolaze letovima društva Ryanair i time u najvećoj mogućoj mjeri povećati svoje prihode iz djelatnosti koje nisu povezane sa zračnim prijevozom.
The agreement is linked to Ryanair's commitment to operate a route from AOC to London Stansted in the summer (daily) and in the winter (four times a week) and one to Girona, three times a week only in the summer.
Ugovor je povezan s pristankom društva Ryanair da ljeti svakodnevno, a zimi četiri puta tjedno održava liniju s AOC-a prema zračnoj luci London-Stansted, a samo ljeti triput tjedno liniju prema Gironi.
The agreement has an initial duration of two years.
Ugovor ima početno trajanje od dvije godine.
The agreement does not include any further indication as regards the duration, placement or other details of the link.
Ugovor ne sadržava podatke o trajanju, mjestu ili drugim pojedinostima poveznice.
Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH has the right to choose its preferred time slots for the marketing measures.
Flugplatz-Altenburg-Nobitz-GmbH ima pravo odabrati vremenski okvir za marketinške aktivnosti.
However, due to limited availability, these slots cannot be guaranteed.
Međutim, zbog njihove ograničene raspoloživosti ti se vremenski okviri ne mogu zajamčiti.
Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH also has the right to choose websites that can be connected via a link on to the Ryanair website.
Flugplatz-Altenburg-Nobitz-GmbH ima pravo odabrati i web-mjesta kojima će se moći pristupiti poveznicom na web-mjestu društva Ryanair.
However, this right is limited by the fact that websites cannot include flights, car rental or accommodation and/or any other services that are also offered on the Ryanair website.
Međutim, to je pravo ograničeno činjenicom da ta web-mjesta ne smiju sadržavati letove, iznajmljivanje automobila, mogućnosti noćenja i/ili druge usluge koje se prodaju i na stranici društva Ryanair.
Moreover, Ryanair has the final say and can refuse to allow publication of the website.
Osim toga, Ryanair ima posljednju riječ i može odbiti objavljivanje web-mjesta.
Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH also has to check that the services have been provided in line with the agreement.
Usto bi društvo Flugplatz-Altenburg-Nobitz-GmbH trebalo nadzirati da su usluge pružene u skladu s tim ugovorom.
The marketing agreement of 25 January 2010
Ugovor o marketingu od 25. siječnja 2010.
A third marketing services agreement was concluded between Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH (named ‘AOC’ in the agreement) and Airport Marketing Services on 25 January 2010.
Društva Flugplatz-Altenburg-Nobitz-GmbH (u ugovoru „AOC”) i Airport-Marketing-Services Limited sklopila su 25. siječnja 2010. treći ugovor o marketinškim uslugama.
According to the agreement, AMS is to offer tourism-related marketing services on the Ryanair website, so that AOC can advertise its business and tourist attractions.
Na temelju tog ugovora AMS nudi marketinške usluge povezane s turizmom na web-mjestu društva Ryanair kako bi AOC mogao oglašavati svoj poslovni potencijal i turističke atrakcije.
The agreement is subject to Ryanair's commitment to operate summer routes — commencing in summer 2010 and for the IATA summer season only [47] — from AOC to London Stansted (seven times a week), Girona (three times a week) and Alicante (twice a week).
Za ugovor vrijedi obvezna suglasnost društva Ryanair da će od ljeta 2010., i to isključivo u ljetnoj sezoni u skladu s Međunarodnom udrugom zračnih prijevoznika (IATA) [47], nuditi letove s AOC-a prema zračnoj luci London-Stansted (sedam puta tjedno), prema Gironi (triput tjedno) i prema Alicanteu (dvaput tjedno).
The agreement has an initial duration of one year.
Ugovor ima početno trajanje od jedne godine.
AOC pays EUR […]* for one year for the following package of marketing services:
AOC plaća […]* EUR za jednu godinu i kao protuuslugu dobiva sljedeći paket marketinških usluga:
The rights and duties of AOC as regards time slots, nature of websites and the final say of Ryanair are identical to those described in the previous agreement.
Prava i obveze AOC-a u pogledu željenih vremenskih okvira, svojstava web-mjestâ i „posljednje riječi” društva Ryanair jednaki su onima iz prethodnog ugovora.
The side letter of 21 September 2010
Dodatni sporazum od 21. rujna 2010.
The side letter of 21 September 2010 was signed between Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH (named ‘AOC’ in the agreement) and Airport Marketing Services.
Dodatni sporazum od 21. rujna 2010. sklopila su društva Flughafen-Altenburg-Nobitz-GmbH (u sporazumu „AOC”) i Airport- Marketing-Services.
Advertising services to be provided by AMS according to the side letter consist of ‘the presence of a link to a website designated by Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH displayed on www.ryanair.com UK home page for 12 days for the duration of this side letter’.
Usluge oglašavanja koje AMS obavlja u skladu s dodatnim sporazumom obuhvaćaju „postavljanje poveznice na web-mjesto koje odredi društvo Flugplatz-Altenburg-Nobitz-GmbH i koja će se za vrijeme trajanja dodatnog sporazuma 12 dana nalaziti na britanskoj početnoj stranici www.ryanair.com”.
According to Germany, payments under this side letter were made by private companies, after they agreed with maintaining Ryanair operations at AOC.
Njemačka navodi da su plaćanja u okviru tog dodatnog sporazuma obavila privatna društva nakon što su pristala na održavanje poslovanja društva Ryanair na AOC-u.
GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE AND THE INITIAL ASSESSMENT BY THE COMMISSION
RAZLOZI ZA POKRETANJE SLUŽBENOG ISTRAŽNOG POSTUPKA I PRVA OCJENA KOMISIJE
In its opening decision, the Commission raised the following questions regarding the measures under assessment:
U svojoj odluci o pokretanju postupka Komisija je postavila sljedeća pitanja o mjerama koje se ocjenjuju:
Financing of infrastructure investments in 2000-2011.
Financiranje ulaganja u infrastrukturu u razdoblju 2000.–2011.:
Whether payments made for the airport infrastructure during the period 2000-2011 amounting to EUR 6474034 in total — including the extension of the runway as stipulated in the agreement of 3 March 2003 between Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH and Ryanair — constitute State aid and, if this is the case, whether this State aid is compatible with the internal market.
Predstavljaju li iznosi od ukupno 6474034 EUR plaćeni u razdoblju 2000.–2011. za infrastrukturu zračne luke – uključujući produženje uzletno-sletne staze u skladu s ugovorom koji su 3. ožujka 2003. sklopila društva Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH i Ryanair – državnu potporu i, ako da, je li ta državna potpora spojiva s unutarnjim tržištem.
Financing of operating losses of Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH in 2000-2011.
Financiranje gubitaka iz poslovanja društva Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH u razdoblju 2000.–2011.:
Whether public shareholders acted in line with the market economy investor principle when they granted annual operating aid during the period 2000-2011 for a total amount of EUR 9,079 million to Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH and, if not, whether this State aid is compatible with the internal market.
Jesu li javni članovi društva pri odobravanju godišnjih operativnih potpora u iznosu od ukupno 9,079 milijuna EUR društvu Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH u razdoblju 2000.–2011. postupali u skladu s načelom ulagatelja u tržišnom gospodarstvu i, ako to nije slučaj, je li ta državna potpora spojiva s unutarnjim tržištem.
Measure 3:
Mjera 3.:
Airport charges and payments to Ryanair under the airport services and marketing agreements.
Naknade zračne luke i plaćanja društvu Ryanair u okviru ugovorâ o uslugama zračne luke i marketingu:
Whether Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH, in accepting a reduction in the revenues for airport services through the mechanism of the marketing fees to be paid to Ryanair/AMS for the period from 1 May 2003 until 31 March 2011, acted as a market economy investor and, if these reductions constitute State aid, whether this aid is compatible with the internal market.
Je li društvo Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH prihvaćanjem smanjenja prihoda iz usluga zračne luke u okviru mehanizma naknada za marketing koje je plaćalo društvu Ryanair odnosno AMS-u za razdoblje od 1. svibnja 2003. do 31. ožujka 2011. postupalo kao ulagatelj u tržišnom gospodarstvu i, ako ti smanjeni prihodi predstavljaju državnu potporu, je li ta potpora spojiva s unutarnjim tržištem.
In receiving reduced airport charges, the public operator of the airport, Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH, forwent revenues.
Primanjem sniženih naknada zračne luke javni upravitelj zračne luke, društvo Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH, izgubio je prihode. Plaćanja za marketing društvima Ryanair i AMS izvršavao je javni upravitelj.
The marketing payments to Ryanair and AMS were made by the public operator of the airport, except for the last marketing agreement, the side letter of 21 September 2010, for which payments were made by private companies.
Iz toga je izuzet zadnji ugovor o marketingu, odnosno dodatni sporazum od 21. rujna 2010., za koji su plaćanje preuzela privatna društva.
