As a result, even though VTAN negotiated the other elements of its commercial relations with the airlines (prices of the ground handling services, marketing payment), the SMAN had an influence over the commercial relations between VTAN and Ryanair as the agreements signed with the latter referred, with regard to the airport charges, to the general airport charges set by the SMAN.
Stoga, iako društvo VTAN sa zračnim prijevoznicima pregovara o drugim elementima svojih poslovnih odnosa s njima (cijena zemaljskih usluga, plaćanje marketinga), sindikat SMAN imao je utjecaj na poslovne odnose između društava VTAN i Ryanair jer ugovori sklopljeni s tim prijevoznikom upućuju, u pogledu naknada zračne luke, na opće naknade zračne luke koje je utvrdio SMAN.
Thirdly, it is clear from the CDSP that most of the investment to be made at Nîmes airport was the responsibility of the SMAN and its member authorities.
Kao treće, iz ugovora CDSP proizlazi da su većinu ulaganja u Zračnoj luci Nîmes proveli sindikat SMAN i tijela od kojih se sastoji.
In this way, the SMAN exerted a certain degree of influence over the airport’s operation, as it was in a position to improve the quality or capacity of the airport infrastructures in order to make them more attractive to the airlines and thus improve the profitability of this operation for VTAN.
Na taj je način sindikat SMAN imao određeni utjecaj na upravljanje zračnom lukom jer je mogao unaprijediti kvalitetu ili kapacitet infrastrukture Zračne luke tako što bi je učinio privlačnijom zračnim prijevoznicima i time pridonijeti profitabilnosti upravljanja društva VTAN.
It is clear from all the above that there is a significant and undeniable link between, on the one hand, the terms of the CDSP, as agreed by the SMAN with Veolia Transport in accordance with the SMAN’s traffic development objectives, the invitation to tender process organised by the SMAN and the flat-rate contribution granted by the SMAN and, on the other hand, the agreements signed by VTAN with Ryanair and AMS.
Iz svega prethodno navedenoga proizlazi da uvelike postoji nepobitna povezanost između, s jedne strane, uvjeta ugovora CDSP koje je sindikat SMAN dogovorio s društvom Veolia Transport u skladu s ciljevima razvoja prometa sindikata SMAN, postupkom javnog natječaja i paušalnim doprinosom koji je odobrio SMAN te, s druge strane, ugovora koje je VTAN sklopio s društvima Ryanair i AMS.
Although this causal link is not absolute and exclusive, in that the agreements in question also partly stem from a degree of commercial freedom enjoyed by VTAN, it is strong enough to prove that the public authorities and the SMAN in particular were clearly involved in the measures in question.
Iako ta uzročno-posljedična veza nije apsolutna i isključiva, s obzirom na to da predmetni ugovori djelomično proizlaze i iz određenog poslovnog diskrecijskog prostora kojim je raspolagalo društvo VTAN, dovoljno je snažna da bi se njome dokazala jasna uključenost javnih tijela i osobito sindikata SMAN u predmetne mjere.
Consequently, these measures must be regarded as imputable to the SMAN, and therefore to the state in the broad sense.
Prema tome, te je mjere potrebno smatrati pripisivima sindikatu SMAN, a stoga i državi u širem smislu riječi.
As indicated in recital 288, the financial stability of the airport’s operation relied on the flat-rate contribution granted by the SMAN, the amount of which was determined, among other aspects, according to the parameters of the commercial relationship between the CCI and Ryanair/AMS in 2006 and therefore in order to allow Ryanair’s activity to continue under similar conditions to those under which this airline had offered its services from Nîmes airport when the CCI was operating the airport.
Kao što je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi 288., financijska ravnoteža upravljanja zračnom lukom temeljila se na paušalnom doprinosu koji je dodjeljivao sindikat SMAN, čiji je iznos bio, među ostalim, određen prema parametrima poslovnog odnosa između komore CCI i društva Ryanair/AMS 2006., kako bi se njime omogućilo da Ryanair nastavi djelovati u uvjetima nalik onima u kojima je taj prijevoznik svoje usluge nudio iz Zračne luke Nîmes kada je komora CCI upravljala Zračnom lukom.
The advantages conferred by these agreements, the existence of which shall be proven in the following section, were therefore financed through this flat-rate contribution, and consequently through state resources.
Prednosti dodijeljene tim ugovorima, koje će biti dokazane u sljedećem odjeljku, bile su financirane tim paušalnim doprinosom i, prema tome, državnim sredstvima.
In conclusion, the various agreements signed by VTAN and covered by this assessment are imputable to the state and involve the use of state resources.
Zaključno, različiti ugovori sklopljeni s društvom VTAN koji su predmet tog ispitivanja pripisivi su državi te podrazumijevaju uporabu državnih sredstava.
Selective advantages granted to Ryanair/AMS
Selektivna prednost u korist društva Ryanair/AMS
In order to make this assessment, the market economy operator (MEO) test should be applied to the measures in question.
Pri provedbi te analize potrebno je na dotične mjere primijeniti načelo subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
This involves determining whether a hypothetical MEO acting in place of the Operators and motivated by the prospect of profits would have entered into similar agreements.
U okviru tog načela potrebno je utvrditi bi li pretpostavljeni subjekt u tržišnom gospodarstvu, koji bi djelovao umjesto Upravitelja i vodio se izgledima za profitabilnost, sklopio slične ugovore.
In order to correctly apply this test, a number of questions should be answered first, particularly the following:
Najprije je potrebno radi ispravne primjene tog načela ispitati različita sljedeća pitanja:
Should the conduct of the CCI-Airport be assessed in isolation, or should its conduct in fact be assessed together with that of the CCI as a whole?
Treba li ponašanje odjela CCI-zračna luka ocijeniti zasebno, ili baš naprotiv, treba li njegovo ponašanje ocijeniti zajedno s cjelokupnim ponašanjem komore CCI?
Likewise, should the conduct of VTAN be assessed in isolation, or should its conduct in fact be assessed together with that of the SMAN?
Jednako tako, treba li ponašanje društva VTAN ocijeniti zasebno, ili baš naprotiv, treba li njegovo ponašanje ocijeniti zajedno s ponašanjem sindikata SMAN?
Should a marketing services agreement and an airport services agreement that were signed at the same time be analysed separately or together?
Treba li istodobno sklopljeni ugovor o marketinškim uslugama i ugovor o uslugama zračne luke analizirati zajedno ili, naprotiv, odvojeno?
In applying the MEO test to the marketing services agreements, should the CCI and VTAN be regarded as having respectively acted as operators of Nîmes airport or as entities purchasing marketing services in the context of a local economic development mission, regardless of their function as airport operator?
Pri primjeni načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu na ugovore o marketinškim uslugama je li potrebno smatrati da su komora CCI i društvo VTAN djelovali kao upravitelji Zračne luke Nîmes ili kao tijela koja nabavljaju marketinške usluge u okviru zadatka lokalnog gospodarskog razvoja, neovisno o svojoj funkciji upravitelja Zračne luke?
What benefits could a hypothetical MEO have expected from the marketing services agreements?
Koje bi koristi pretpostavljeni subjekt u tržišnom gospodarstvu mogao očekivati od ugovora o marketinškim uslugama?
What, for the purposes of applying the MEO test, is the relevance of comparing the terms of the airport services agreements covered by the formal investigation procedure with the airport charges invoiced at other airports?
Koliko je relevantna usporedba uvjeta ugovora o uslugama zračne luke iz formalnog istražnog postupka s naknadama zračne luke koje obračunavaju druge zračne luke za potrebe primjene načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu?
After answering these questions, the Commission will apply the MEO test to the various measures in question.
Nakon što ispita ta različita pitanja, Komisija će na dotične različite mjere primijeniti načelo subjekta u tržišnom natjecanju.
Joint assessment of the conduct of the CCI-Airport and the CCI as a whole
Zajednička ocjena ponašanja odjela CCI-zračna luka i komore CCI u cjelini
In applying the MEO test, the conduct of the CCI as a whole, and not just that of its arm operating the airport, should be taken into account.
Pri primjeni načela subjekta u tržišnom natjecanju potrebno je uzeti u obzir cjelokupno ponašanje komore CCI, a ne samo ponašanje njezina odjela koji je upravljao Zračnom lukom.
As explained above (see footnote 69), the CCI-Airport did not have its own legal personality distinct from that of the CCI and the various agreements were signed by the CCI president or under his control.
Naime, kao što je prethodno objašnjeno (vidjeti bilješku 69.), odjel CCI-zračna luka nema različitu pravnu osobnost od komore CCI te je različite ugovore sklopio predsjednik komore CCI ili su bili sklopljeni pod njegovim nadzorom.
The CCI-Airport was not a distinct entity with its own decision-making autonomy, other than with regard to the day-to-day operation of the airport.
Odjel CCI-zračna luka nije zaseban subjekt koji ima mogućnost samostalnog odlučivanja, osim kada je riječ o svakodnevnom upravljanju zračnom lukom.
It therefore follows that the conduct of the CCI-Airport and the CCI as a whole must be assessed together, in terms of their relations with the airlines and their subsidiaries, in order to apply the MEO test.
Iz toga slijedi da se ponašanja odjela CCI-zračna luka i komore CCI u cjelini trebaju zajedno ocijeniti uzevši u obzir njihove odnose sa zračnim prijevoznicima i njihovim društvima kćerima u svrhu primjene načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
Joint assessment of the conduct of VTAN and the SMAN
Zajednička ocjena ponašanja društva VTAN i sindikata SMAN
As explained in detail in the assessment of the imputability to the state of the agreements signed by VTAN, through the invitation to tender process organised by the SMAN in 2006, the objectives set in the CDSP and the flat-rate contribution established by the latter and granted by the SMAN, the latter exerted a decisive influence over the decisions taken by VTAN with regard to Ryanair and AMS.
Kao što je podrobno objašnjeno u analizi pripisivosti državi ugovora koje je sklopilo društvo VTAN, sindikat SMAN je, kroz postupak javnog natječaja koji je organizirao 2006., ciljeve koji su utvrđeni ugovorom CDSP i paušalni doprinos koji je utvrđen istim ugovorom, a koji je dodijelio sindikat SMAN, imao odlučujući utjecaj na odluke koje je društvo VTAN donosilo u pogledu društava Ryanair i AMS.
As a result, the conduct of VTAN and the SMAN must be assessed together, in terms of their relations with the airlines and their subsidiaries, in order to apply the MEO test.
Stoga se ponašanja društva VTAN i sindikata SMAN trebaju zajedno ocijeniti uzevši u obzir njihove odnose sa zračnim prijevoznicima i njihovim društvima kćerima za potrebe primjene načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
In this respect, it is clear from the judgment of the General Court in the Charleroi case that, when applying the MEO test, the conduct of two distinct entities towards a third party may, in certain circumstances, have to be assessed jointly, as if these two entities were one entity, where there are ‘close links’ between them.
U tom pogledu iz presude Općeg suda u predmetu Charleroi proizlazi da u okviru primjene načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu ponašanje dvaju različitih subjekata prema trećim osobama u određenim okolnostima može biti potrebno analizirati zajedno, kao da ta dva subjekta čine jedan subjekt, ako između njih postoji „uska povezanost”.
Unlike in the Charleroi case, in the present case there is no control relationship, in the sense of ownership, between the SMAN and VTAN.
Suprotno predmetu Charleroi, u ovom slučaju između sindikata SMAN i društva VTAN ne postoji povezanost kontrole u vlasničkom smislu.
However, as shown in paragraph 275 et seq., there are sufficiently close economic links between these two entities, likely to substantially influence VTAN’s conduct towards Ryanair/AMS, for the measures in question to be regarded as the result of the conduct of both these two entities.
Međutim, kao što je dokazano u točki 275. i sljedećim točkama, između tih dvaju subjekata postoji dovoljno uska ekonomska povezanost koja može znatno utjecati na ponašanje društva VTAN prema društvu Ryanair/AMS pa se predmetne mjere stoga mogu smatrati posljedicom zajedničkog ponašanja tih dvaju subjekata.
For the purposes of applying the MEO test, the Commission must determine whether the airport services agreements and marketing services agreements should be assessed together.
Za potrebe primjene načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu Komisija treba utvrditi treba li ugovore o uslugama zračne luke i ugovore o marketinškim uslugama ocijeniti zajedno.
In the opening decision, the Commission considered as a preliminary point that each marketing services agreement should be assessed jointly with the airport services agreement signed at the same time, for the purposes of applying the MEO test.
Komisija je u odluci o pokretanju postupka najprije smatrala da je za potrebe primjene načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu svaki ugovor o marketinškim uslugama potrebno analizirati zajedno s ugovorom o uslugama zračne luke koji je sklopljen istodobno.
This approach particularly involves each of the following sets of agreements being treated as a single measure:
Tim se pristupom posebno podrazumijeva da se prema svakoj skupini ugovora navedenih u nastavku postupa kao prema jednoj i jedinstvenoj mjeri:
CCI operating period (2000-2006):
Razdoblje upravljanja komore CCI (2000. – 2006.):
airport services agreement signed on 10 October 2005 with Ryanair and marketing services agreement signed on the same date with AMS,
Ugovor o uslugama zračne luke sklopljen 10. listopada 2005. s društvom Ryanair i Ugovor o marketinškim uslugama sklopljen istoga dana s društvom AMS.
VTAN operating period (2007-2012):
Razdoblje upravljanja društva vtan (2007. – 2012.):
airport services agreement signed on 2 January 2007 with Ryanair and marketing services agreement signed on the same date with AMS,
Ugovor o uslugama zračne luke sklopljen 2. siječnja 2007. s društvom Ryanair i Ugovor o marketinškim uslugama sklopljen istoga dana s društvom AMS,
amendment of 1 August 2007 to the marketing services agreement of 2 January 2007 and implicit airport services agreement applying the terms of the airport services agreement of 2 January 2007 to the Nîmes-Charleroi route, the operation of which during the 2007-2008 winter season constituted, according to France, the counterpart to the payment for the additional marketing services stipulated by this amendment,
izmjena od 1. kolovoza 2007. Ugovora o marketinškim uslugama od 2. siječnja 2007. i implicitni Ugovor o uslugama zračne luke kojim se uvjeti Ugovora o uslugama zračne luke od 2. siječnja 2007. primjenjuju na liniju Nîmes – Charleroi, čije je poslovanje tijekom zimske sezone 2007. – 2008. bilo, prema mišljenju Francuske, protunaknada za dodatne marketinške usluge predviđene tom izmjenom,
airport services agreement signed on 1 November 2007 with Ryanair and marketing services agreement signed on the same date with AMS,
Ugovor o uslugama zračne luke sklopljen 1. studenoga 2007. s društvom Ryanair i Ugovor o marketinškim uslugama sklopljen istog dana s društvom AMS,
airport services agreement signed on 27 August 2008 with Ryanair and marketing services agreement signed on the same date with AMS,
Ugovor o uslugama zračne luke sklopljen 27. kolovoza 2008. s društvom Ryanair i Ugovor o marketinškim uslugama sklopljen istog dana s društvom AMS,
amendment of 25 August 2009 to the airport services agreement of 27 August 2008 and amendment of 25 August 2009 to the marketing services agreement of 27 August 2008,
izmjena od 25. kolovoza 2009. Ugovora o uslugama zračne luke od 27. kolovoza 2008. i izmjena od 25. kolovoza 2009. Ugovora o marketinškim uslugama od 27. kolovoza 2008.,
amendment of 30 November 2010 to the marketing services agreement of 27 August 2008 and implicit airport services agreement applying the terms of the airport services agreement of 27 January 2008 to the Nîmes-Liverpool route, the operation of which constituted, according to France, the counterpart to the payment for the additional marketing services stipulated by this amendment.(312) France has stated that it agrees with the approach taken in the opening decision to analyse together the airport services agreements and marketing services agreements signed at the same time.
izmjena od 30. studenoga 2010. Ugovora o marketinškim uslugama od 27. kolovoza 2008. i implicitni Ugovor o uslugama zračne luke kojim se uvjeti Ugovora o uslugama zračne luke od 27. kolovoza 2008. primjenjuju na liniju Nîmes – Liverpool, čije je poslovanje bilo, prema mišljenju Francuske, protunaknada za dodatne marketinške usluge predviđene tom izmjenom.(312) Francuska je izjavila da se slaže s pristupom koji je primijenjen u odluci o pokretanju postupka na temelju kojeg se istodobno sklopljeni ugovori o uslugama zračne luke i ugovori o marketinškim uslugama analiziraju zajedno.
On the other hand, certain interested third parties, particularly the Operators and Ryanair, question this approach as they consider that the marketing services agreements should be analysed separately.
Naprotiv, određene treće zainteresirane osobe, posebno Upravitelji i Ryanair, osporavaju taj pristup jer smatraju da je ugovore o marketinškim uslugama potrebno analizirati zasebno.
However, the facts on record confirm that the approach taken in the opening decision, and approved by France, is well-founded.
Međutim, elementi iz spisa potvrdili su osnovanost pristupa primijenjenog u odluci o pokretanju postupka koji je odobrila Francuska.
Firstly, each marketing services agreement was signed on the same date as an airport services agreement, except in the case of certain amendments to existing marketing services agreements.
Najprije, svaki ugovor o marketinškim uslugama sklopljen je istog dana kada i ugovor o uslugama zračne luke, osim u slučaju određenih izmjena postojećih ugovora o marketinškim uslugama.
However, the amendments in question amended marketing services agreements that were themselves signed at the same time as airport services agreements.
Međutim, predmetnim su izmjenama izmijenjeni sami ugovori o marketinškim uslugama sklopljeni istodobno kad i ugovori o uslugama zračne luke.
Furthermore, certain amendments to marketing services agreements were concluded in return for Ryanair’s operation of certain routes or frequencies.
Nadalje, određene izmjene ugovora o marketinškim uslugama potpisane su kao protunaknada kako bi društvo Ryanair upravljalo određenim linijama ili letovima.
This was the case, for example, with the amendment of 30 November 2010, which provided for additional marketing payments that, according to France, were the counterpart to Ryanair’s operation of a route to Liverpool.
To je, na primjer, slučaj s izmjenom od 30. studenoga 2010., kojom su predviđena dodatna plaćanja za marketing, što je, prema mišljenju Francuske, bila protunaknada za poslovanje linije prema Liverpoolu društva Ryanair.
In the light of the general reasoning developed in this section, an implicit airport services agreement applying, to the routes or frequencies in question, the airport charges and ground handling charges resulting from the existing airport services agreement corresponding to the marketing services agreement amended by the amendment in question can be associated with this amendment.
S obzirom na opće obrazloženje izneseno u ovom odjeljku takva se izmjena može povezati s implicitnim ugovorom o uslugama zračne luke kojim se na predmetne linije ili letove primjenjuju naknade zračne luke i cijene zemaljskih usluga koje proizlaze iz postojećeg ugovora o uslugama zračne luke povezanog s ugovorom o marketinškim uslugama koji je izmijenjen predmetnom izmjenom ugovora.
Moreover, the two types of agreement were signed by the same parties.
Usto, obje vrste ugovora sklopile su iste strane.
AMS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ryanair and its managers are senior Ryanair executives.
AMS je društvo kći u stopostotnom vlasništvu društva Ryanair i njezin se voditeljski kadar sastoji od visokih rukovoditelja društva Ryanair.
AMS acts in Ryanair’s interests and under its control, and AMS’s profits go to Ryanair in the form of dividends or increased company value.
AMS djeluje u skladu s interesom društva Ryanair i pod njegovom kontrolom te su dobitci koje stvara namijenjeni društvu Ryanair u obliku dividendi ili povećanja vrijednosti društva.
Moreover, as will be detailed further on, the various marketing services agreements were connected with the operation of certain air routes by Ryanair from Nîmes airport.
Usto, kao što će biti podrobnije objašnjeno u nastavku, različiti ugovori o marketinškim uslugama povezani su s upravljanjem društva Ryanair zračnim linijama s polaskom iz Zračne luke Nîmes.
The marketing services agreements in fact indicate that they are rooted in Ryanair’s commitment to operate these routes, and they were also signed at the same time as airport services agreements with Ryanair for these same routes.
U ugovorima o marketinškim uslugama navedeno je, naime, da proizlaze iz obveze društva Ryanair da upravlja tim linijama te su s društvom Ryanair sklopljeni istodobno s ugovorima o uslugama zračne luke u pogledu istih linija.
Consequently, the fact that the marketing services agreements were signed by the airport’s operators with AMS and not Ryanair cannot prevent a marketing services agreement and an airport services agreement that were signed at the same time from being regarded as forming a single transaction, particularly for the purpose of analysing these agreements in the light of the MEO test, and in the context of this analysis, Ryanair and AMS from being regarded as forming a single economic entity.
Prema tome, činjenica da su ugovore o marketinškim uslugama upravitelji Zračne luke sklopili s društvom AMS, a ne s društvom Ryanair, ne bi smjela spriječiti da se istodobno sklopljeni ugovori o marketinškim uslugama i ugovori o uslugama zračne luke mogu smatrati jednom i jedinstvenom transakcijom, posebno za potrebe analize tih ugovora s obzirom na načelo subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu i da se u kontekstu te analize Ryanair i AMS trebaju smatrati jednim gospodarskim subjektom.
Lastly, a number of other facts, set out in recitals 313 to 314, reveal additional very close links between, on the one hand, each marketing services agreement and, on the other hand, the corresponding airport services agreement.
Naposljetku, drugi elementi izneseni u uvodnim izjavama 313. i 314. ukazuju na dodatnu vrlo usku povezanost između svih ugovora o marketinškim uslugama s jedne strane i povezanih ugovora o uslugama zračne luke s druge strane.
Firstly, France has itself highlighted the link between the marketing payments and the routes operated by Ryanair: ‘The marketing aid formed an integral part of the route development plan put in place by the CCI and relevant authorities. For these authorities, this was a support tool aimed at attracting new passengers through new services. Moreover, the airline made commitments in terms of both the number of aircraft made available and the number of passengers carried. The achievement of these load factor targets ensured a direct return on these sums for the local economy’.
Najprije, Francuska je sama istaknula povezanost između plaćanja za marketing i linija kojima upravlja Ryanair: „Potpore za marketing sastavni su dio mjere razvoja linija koju su uspostavili komora CCI i predmetna tijela. Ta tijela smatraju da je riječ o popratnoj mjeri čiji je cilj bio novim uslugama privući nove putnike. Nadalje, prijevoznik se obvezao u pogledu broja zrakoplova koje će staviti na raspolaganje i u pogledu broja prevezenih putnika. Ostvarivanje tih ciljeva popunjenosti jamčilo je izravan povrat tih iznosa lokalnom gospodarstvu.”.
