Interested undertakings were therefore clearly invited to commit, in their tenders, to implementing an active traffic development policy.
Stoga su zainteresirani poduzetnici jasno pozvani da se u svojoj ponudi obvežu na provođenje aktivne politike razvoja prometa.
They were particularly encouraged to do so as the SMAN offered a financial contribution ensuring the operation’s financial stability.
Bili su na to dodatno potaknuti jer je SMAN nudio financijski doprinos za osiguravanje financijske ravnoteže.
This contribution was in fact intended to compensate for the incremental losses that might occur as a result of attractive commercial conditions being offered to airlines in order to maximise traffic.
Naime, tim su se doprinosom trebali kompenzirati inkrementalni gubitci koji su mogli nastati atraktivnim komercijalnim uvjetima koje zračni prijevoznici nude u svrhu povećanja prometa.
In the various documents that it sent to the SMAN during the invitation to tender process, Veolia Transport was clearly trying to produce a tender that responded to the traffic development objective set by the SMAN.
Međutim, u različitim dokumentima koje je uputilo sindikatu SMAN u okviru postupka javnog natječaja društvo Veolia Transport očito je nastojalo osmisliti ponudu koja zadovoljava cilj razvoja prometa koji je utvrdio SMAN.
Veolia Transport indicated in particular that it ‘share[d] with the authority the desire to increase use of its transport networks and platforms and the associated benefits’, and it highlighted its performance in terms of increasing the use of other transport infrastructures that it operated.
Veolia Transport osobito navodi i da „s regionalnim i lokalnim tijelima dijeli volju za povećanjem posjećenosti svojih mreža i prometnih platforma te korist od tog povećanja” te ističe svoju učinkovitost u području povećanja posjećenosti drugih prometnih infrastruktura kojima upravlja.
Veolia Transport added that it would ‘play a key role in local development’ and that it would prioritise, in agreement with the authority, several objectives including ‘showcasing the local heritage and the region’.
Dodaje da „djeluje kao stvarni dionik lokalnog razvoja” i da, u dogovoru s tijelima, stavlja na prvo mjesto nekoliko ciljeva, uključujući „isticanje vrijednosti baštine i regije”.
In these documents, Veolia Transport also indicated a desire ‘to attract a large number of additional aircraft and passengers’ and to make the airport into ‘a leading player in the local and regional economy’, aware that ‘the dynamics of air traffic drive and support the region’s economic activity, by creating around 100 direct and indirect jobs and by injecting approximately EUR 70 million per year into the local economy, mainly the tourism sector’.
Društvo Veolia Transport u tim je dokumentima izrazilo i volju za „privlačenjem velikog broja zrakoplova i dodatnih putnika” te da se Zračna luka učini „vodećim sudionikom u lokalnom i regionalnom gospodarstvu” jer je svjesno da „dinamika zračnog prometa pridonosi gospodarskoj djelatnosti regije te je potiče stvaranjem stotinu izravnih i neizravnih radnih mjesta te ubrizgavanjem u lokalno gospodarstvo, uglavnom u turistički sektor, oko 70 milijuna EUR godišnje”.
Veolia Transport therefore submitted a marketing plan aimed at ‘confirming and reinforcing the airport as an economic hub by developing its traffic, which is an essential condition for maintaining and increasing jobs and for ensuring its contribution to the local economy, but also by developing associated activities that are vitally important to the region, such as tourism and property, industrial and tertiary development’.
Društvo Veolia Transport tako je iznijelo marketinški plan čiji je cilj „učvrstiti i ojačati ekonomski položaj Zračne luke razvijanjem njezina prometa, što je neophodan uvjet za održavanje i rast radnih mjesta te za doprinos gospodarstvu zajednice, ali i razvijanjem povezanih djelatnosti, što je u glavnom interesu regije, bilo da je riječ o turizmu ili razvoju nekretnina, industrije i tercijarnog sektora”.
This plan particularly involved the following main lines of action: (i) consolidation of Ryanair’s activity and its development by launching a fifth route; and (ii) attraction of other airlines by systematically targeting those airlines likely to serve the airport and by adopting a cost-neutral airline incentive policy.
Taj se plan temelji osobito na sljedećim glavnim smjernicama: i. konsolidaciji i razvoju djelatnosti društva Ryanair otvaranjem pete linije te ii. privlačenju drugih zračnih prijevoznika sustavnim i ciljanim obraćanjem prijevoznicima koji bi mogli poslovati u Zračnoj luci te poticajnom politikom njihova prihvata bez troška.
In this context, Veolia Transport provided traffic growth targets.
U tom je okviru društvo Veolia Transport dostavilo brojke koje želi postići u pogledu povećanja prometa.
It also stated: ‘In conclusion, we reaffirm our desire to operate and promote the airport in partnership with the SMAN in order to develop its economic and tourism impact on the region’.
Veolia Transport izjavljuje i sljedeće: „Zaključno, ponovno potvrđujemo svoju volju za upravljanjem čvorištem i njegovim promicanjem u partnerstvu s Mješovitim sindikatom čiji je cilj razvoj gospodarskog i turističkog utjecaja Zračne luke na regiju”.
It is therefore clear that Veolia Transport’s response to the invitation to tender was influenced by the traffic development objective set by the SMAN and, more generally, by the local economic development objectives pursued by the SMAN, which Veolia Transport could not ignore and even shared at the time of preparing its tender.
Stoga je jasno da je na odgovor društva Veolia Transport na javni natječaj utjecao cilj razvoja prometa koji je utvrdio sindikat SMAN i, šire gledano, ciljevi lokalnog gospodarskog razvoja koje je nastojao ostvariti SMAN, a koje društvo Veolia Transport u trenutku izrade svoje ponude nije moglo zanemariti te ih je čak smatralo svojim ciljevima.
The development of traffic and the consolidation and development of Ryanair’s activity were goals that Veolia Transport mentioned in its tender and that stemmed directly from the SMAN’s objectives.
Razvoj prometa, konsolidacija i razvoj djelatnosti društva Ryanair jesu ciljevi koje je Veolia Transport navela u svojoj ponudi, a koji proizlaze izravno iz ciljeva sindikata SMAN.
If the SMAN had been content to select an operator without setting a traffic development objective, Veolia Transport would have had no reason to commit to such an objective or to the consolidation and development of Ryanair’s activity.
Naime, da je SMAN upravitelja birao bez utvrđivanja cilja razvoja prometa, društvo Veolia Transport ne bi imalo nikakvih razloga obvezati se na takav cilj ili na konsolidiranje i razvoj djelatnosti društva Ryanair.
It would have simply proposed the lowest possible amount of the flat-rate contribution, within the bounds necessary to ensure a reasonable profit, in order to gain the concession.
U svrhu izdavanja koncesije potonje društvo samo bi ponudilo najniži mogući iznos paušalne naknade koji bi joj istodobno osigurao razuman dobitak.
In an invitation to tender process such as this one, the successful tenderer’s tender necessarily binds the latter for the whole term of the concession.
Međutim, u postupku javnog natječaja, poput onoga o kojem je ovdje riječ, ponuda konačno odabranog pružatelja usluga nužno ga obvezuje tijekom cijelog trajanja koncesije.
This is true in both legal terms and in other respects.
To vrijedi na pravnom, ali i na ostalim planovima.
An undertaking that sets objectives and makes commitments in response to an invitation to tender organised by a local authority and that subsequently acts in a manner contrary to those objectives and commitments runs the risk of its reputation being compromised among local authorities.
Naime, poduzetnik koji bi iznio ciljeve i obveze u odgovoru na javni natječaj koji je objavilo lokalno tijelo te koji bi zatim djelovao u suprotnosti s tim ciljevima i obvezama riskirao bi ugrožavanje svojeg ugleda pred lokalnim tijelima.
An undertaking such as Veolia Transport, which in 2007 was looking to establish itself in the airport operation market, would not have run such a risk.
Poduzetnik, poput društva Veolia Transport, koje je 2007. željelo ući na tržište upravljanja zračnim lukama, ne bi preuzeo taj rizik.
As a result, VTAN’s conduct towards Ryanair/AMS from 2007 was fundamentally influenced by the traffic development objective set by the SMAN and by the fact that the latter had selected, to operate the airport, an undertaking that had submitted a tender clearly designed to respond to that objective.
Stoga je na ponašanje društva VTAN prema društvu Ryanair/AMS od 2007. uvelike utjecao cilj razvoja prometa koji je utvrdio SMAN i činjenica da je potonji za upravljanje zračnom lukom odabrao poduzetnika koji je sastavio ponudu koja je osmišljena izričito da odgovori na taj cilj.
This influence is evident from the fact that Veolia Transport knew, during the invitation to tender process, that the commercial relations with Ryanair were likely to harm the profitability of the airport’s operation.
Taj se utjecaj očituje u činjenici da je društvo Veolia Transport tijekom postupka javnog natječaja bilo svjesno da su poslovni odnosi s društvom Ryanair mogli narušiti profitabilnost upravljanja Zračnom lukom.
It may therefore be concluded that VTAN was prepared to pursue this relationship under similar conditions only in the light of the SMAN’s traffic development objectives, VTAN’s commitments made to the latter in this respect in order to win the airport operation concession, and the flat-rate contribution ensuring the concession’s financial stability.
Tim se različitim tvrdnjama nastoji potvrditi činjenica da, u slučaju da je društvo VTAN moglo slobodno upravljati Zračnom lukom s jedinim ciljem povećanja prihoda, ne bi bilo spremno ostati u poslovnom odnosu s društvom Ryanair/AMS kakav je uspostavila komora CCI i za koji je smatrala da će Zračnoj luci predstavljati neto trošak. Iz toga je moguće zaključiti da je društvo VTAN bilo spremno nastaviti takav odnos samo pod sličnim uvjetima u pogledu ciljeva razvoja prometa sindikata SMAN, obveze koje je u tom pogledu preuzelo u odnosu na ovog potonjeg kako bi mu bilo povjereno upravljanje Zračnom lukom i paušalni doprinos kojim se osiguravala financijska ravnoteža koncesije.
It should be recalled that the profitability of the concession for VTAN relied on the flat-rate operating subsidy paid by the SMAN, which therefore participated directly in financing the airport’s operation.
Naime, valja podsjetiti da se profitabilnost koncesije za društvo VTAN temelji na paušalnoj subvenciji za upravljanje koju je plaćao sindikat SMAN, koji stoga izravno sudjeluje u financiranju upravljanja Zračnom lukom.
The existence of this subsidy, granted by the SMAN, demonstrates the latter’s influence over VTAN’s commercial relations with Ryanair/AMS.
Postojanje te subvencije koju je dodijelio sindikat SMAN upućuje na njegov utjecaj na poslovne odnose društva VTAN s društvom Ryanair/AMS.
Without this subsidy, it is likely that no operator would have agreed to operate the airport under a concession for which the economic model was based on a traffic development objective and relations with an airline that were likely to result in a negative margin for the airport’s operation.
Naime, bez te subvencije ni jedan upravitelj vjerojatno ne bi pristao upravljati Zračnom lukom u okviru koncesije čiji se gospodarski model temelji na cilju razvoja prometa i odnosa sa zračnim prijevoznikom, iz kojih bi mogla proizaći negativna marža na razini upravljanja Zračnom lukom.
The granting of this subsidy, which is imputable to the SMAN, was therefore one of the elements that allowed the various agreements covered by this investigation to be signed from 2007.
Dodjela te subvencije, koja je pripisiva sindikatu SMAN, bila je stoga jedan od elemenata zbog kojih je od 2007. bilo moguće sklapanje različitih ugovora koji su predmet ovog ispitivanja.
It should be noted in this respect that the amount of the contribution was calculated (and accepted by the SMAN) based on a provisional budget drawn up by Veolia Transport, which incorporated the costs and revenues associated with the agreements in force between the CCI and Ryanair/AMS, and VTAN’s best estimates as regards their renegotiation.
U tom pogledu valja napomenuti da je iznos doprinosa (koji je prihvatio SMAN) bio izračunan na temelju predviđenog proračuna koji je izradila Veolia Transport te su njime bili obuhvaćeni troškovi i prihodi povezani s ugovorima na snazi između komore CCI i društva Ryanair/AMS te najpovoljnije procjene društva VTAN u pogledu ponovnih pregovora o tim ugovorima.
The SMAN therefore granted VTAN a contribution that was designed 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.
SMAN je stoga društvu VTAN dodijelio doprinos kako bi omogućio da se djelatnost društva Ryanair nastavi u uvjetima u kakvima je taj prijevoznik svoje usluge nudio iz Zračne luke Nîmes kad je komora CCI upravljala Zračnom lukom.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the CDSP provided for the flat-rate contribution to be adjusted to a certain extent according to Ryanair’s activity.
Nadalje, valja napomenuti da je ugovorom CDSP bila predviđena određena prilagodba paušalnog doprinosa ovisno o djelatnosti društva Ryanair.
As a result, the sum of EUR 1,3 million per year envisaged in the ‘reference scenario’ was to be reduced to EUR 1,1 million in a ‘downturn scenario’ corresponding to a reduction in Ryanair’s activity likely to allow the airport’s second staff team to be axed.
Tako se godišnji iznos od 1,3 milijuna EUR predviđen „referentnim scenarijem” trebao smanjiti na 1,1 milijun EUR u „rezervnom scenariju” koji podrazumijeva smanjenje djelatnosti društva Ryanair zbog kojeg se u Zračnoj luci otpušta drugi tim osoblja.
Two lessons can be drawn from this adjustment.
Iz te je prilagodbe moguće izvesti dva zaključka.
Firstly, this adjustment illustrates the fact that, in 2007 and in the light of the CCI’s experience, Veolia Transport and the SMAN expected that a reduction in Ryanair traffic would result in an improvement in the airport’s profitability.
Najprije, tom se prilagodbom upućuje na to da su Veolia Transport i SMAN 2007. očekivali, s obzirom na iskustvo komore CCI, da će se smanjenjem prometa društva Ryanair pospješiti profitabilnost upravljanja Zračnom lukom.
Otherwise they would have planned to increase the flat-rate contribution, and not reduce it, in the downturn scenario.
Drugim riječima, rezervnim su scenarijem predvidjeli povećanje paušalnog doprinosa, a ne njegovo smanjenje.
This once again illustrates the fact that the SMAN’s objectives and the terms of the CDSP led VTAN to adopt a commercial policy towards Ryanair that it would have regarded as aberrant and would not have pursued if it had been entirely free to determine this policy.
To ponovno upućuje na to da su ciljevi sindikata SMAN i uvjeti ugovora CDSP trebali navesti društvo VTAN da u pogledu društva Ryanair donese poslovnu politiku koju bi, da ju je mogao u potpunosti samostalno utvrditi, društvo VTAN smatralo nelogičnom i ne bi je provelo.
The second lesson to be drawn from this adjustment is that, for the SMAN, this represented a further way of influencing VTAN’s conduct towards Ryanair, by reducing the incentives for VTAN to adopt decisions likely to result in a reduction in Ryanair traffic.
Drugi zaključak koji je potrebno izvesti iz te prilagodbe jest da je ona dodatno sredstvo kojim sindikat SMAN može utjecati na ponašanje društva VTAN prema društvu Ryanair smanjenjem poticaja društvu VTAN da donosi odluke kojima bi uzrokovao smanjenje prometa društva Ryanair.
In the light of all the above, it is clear that, through the invitation to tender process, the objectives set in the CDSP and the flat-rate contribution established by the latter, the SMAN exerted a decisive influence over the decisions taken by VTAN with regard to Ryanair and AMS.
S obzirom na prethodno navedeno, jasno je da je postupkom javnog natječaja te ciljevima i paušalnim doprinosom utvrđenima ugovorom CDSP sindikat SMAN imao odlučujući utjecaj na odluke koje je VTAN donio u pogledu društava Ryanair i AMS.
It cannot be disputed, as highlighted by France and the Operators, that VTAN enjoyed a certain freedom when negotiating its agreements with Ryanair and AMS.
Ne može se osporiti, kao što su istaknuli Francuska i Upravitelji, da je društvo VTAN imalo određenu slobodu u pregovorima o ugovorima koje je sklopio s društvima Ryanair i AMS.
In fact, it cannot be clearly established, in the light of the facts on record, that the SMAN made specific decisions on the contents of the various agreements.
Naime, s obzirom na elemente iz spisa nije moguće jasno utvrditi da je sindikat SMAN donio određene odluke u pogledu sadržaja različitih ugovora.
Moreover, as underlined in substance by France, the Operators and Ryanair, there was no automatic link between the amount of the flat-rate contribution and the parameters of the agreements negotiated with Ryanair and AMS, such that VTAN was not deprived of any incentive to limit the ‘net costs’ caused by the agreements signed with Ryanair.
Usto, kao što su u bitnome istaknuli Francuska, Upravitelji i Ryanair, nije postojala automatska povezanost između iznosa paušalnog doprinosa i parametara ugovora o kojima je pregovarano s društvima Ryanair i AMS, tako da društvu VTAN nisu bili uskraćeni svi poticaji za ograničavanje „neto troškova” nastalih na temelju ugovora sklopljenih s društvom Ryanair.
However, in view of the facts presented in this section, the framework laid down by the SMAN through the invitation to tender process, the objectives set in the CDSP and the flat-rate contribution had a sufficiently decisive influence on VTAN’s conduct towards Ryanair and AMS that the agreements in question can be regarded, pursuant to the State aid case-law, as imputable to the state, even though, in terms of its ownership, VTAN forms part of a privately owned group.
Međutim, s obzirom na elemente iznesene u ovom odjeljku okvir koji je sindikat SMAN utvrdio u javnom natječaju, ciljevi utvrđeni ugovorom CDSP i paušalni doprinos dovoljno su odlučujuće utjecali na ponašanje društva VTAN prema društvima Ryanair i AMS da bi se predmetni ugovori mogli, u smislu sudske prakse o državnim potporama, smatrati pripisivima državi, iako je društvo VTAN na vlasničkom planu bilo dio grupe privatnog kapitala.
France and the Operators have stated that Nîmes airport was the first regional airport operated by Veolia Transport.
Francuska i Upravitelji istaknuli su da je Zračna luka Nîmes bila prva regionalna zračna luka kojom je upravljalo društvo Veolia Transport.
They consider that this position as a new entrant justified the need for VTAN to ensure Ryanair’s presence and develop the airport, if necessary through an initial loss, in order to allow it to acquire the experience needed to develop its airport operation activity.
Smatraju da je tim položajem novog sudionika na tržištu opravdana potreba društva VTAN da privuče društvo Ryanair i razvije čvorište, po cijenu početnog gubitka, kako bi steklo iskustvo potrebno za razvijanje svoje djelatnosti upravljanja zračnim lukama.
However, this argument does not invalidate the conclusion that, without the flat-rate contribution or the traffic objective set by the SMAN and transcribed into commitments made by Veolia Transport in response to the invitation to tender, Veolia Transport would not have agreed to become the airport operator or, if it had agreed to do so, to sign the agreements in question with Ryanair/AMS.
Međutim, tim se argumentom ne može opovrgnuti zaključak da društvo Veolia Transport bez paušalnog doprinosa ili cilja razvoja prometa koji je utvrdio sindikat SMAN, a na koji se društvo Veolia Transport obvezalo u odgovoru na javni natječaj, ne bi prihvatilo ulogu upravitelja Zračne luke ili, da ju je prihvatilo, ne bi sklopilo predmetne ugovore s društvom Ryanair/AMS.
Neither France nor VTAN have provided any analysis showing that, in such a scenario, the ‘net cost’ caused by the agreements with Ryanair/AMS would have been offset by future benefits resulting for the Veolia Transport group from this initial airport operation experience.
Naime, ni Francuska ni VTAN nisu dostavili analizu kojom je dokazano da bi u tim okolnostima „neto trošak” nastao ugovorima s društvom Ryanair/AMS bio kompenziran budućim dobitima koje bi grupa Veolia Transport ostvarila tim prvim iskustvom upravljanja zračnom lukom.
Furthermore, neither France nor VTAN have explained why, in such a scenario, VTAN could not have chosen to acquire similar experience at other airports where the ‘net cost’ would have been lower, or even negative.
Ni Francuska ni društvo VTAN nisu objasnili niti zašto društvo VTAN u tim okolnostima nije odlučilo steći slično iskustvo u drugim zračnim lukama gdje bi njegov „neto trošak” bio manji, odnosno ne bi ga bilo.
The argument put forward by France and the Operators regarding Veolia Transport’s position as a new entrant at Nîmes airport does not therefore alter the fact that there is a clear link between, on the one hand, the objectives set by the SMAN in the invitation to tender and in the CDSP and the flat-rate contribution and, on the other hand, the agreements signed by VTAN with Ryanair and AMS.
Argument Francuske i Upravitelja u pogledu položaja društva Veolia Transport u Zračnoj luci Nîmes kao novog sudionika na tržištu tako ne dovodi u pitanje očitu povezanost između, s jedne strane, ciljeva koje je sindikat SMAN utvrdio u javnom natječaju i u ugovoru CDSP te paušalnog doprinosa i, s druge strane, ugovora koje je društvo VTAN sklopilo s društvima Ryanair i AMS.
Added to the above considerations are three more minor and non-essential elements that reinforce the merits of this conclusion.
Prethodno navedenim razmatranjima pridružena su tri manja elementa koji nisu ključni da bi se ojačala osnovanost tog zaključka.
Firstly, according to France, in its proposals submitted to the SMAN in the invitation to tender process, ‘VTAN indicated that, if it were delegated the public service, it would remain in close contact with the SMAN during the negotiation phase with Ryanair in order to inform the SMAN about the progress of the discussions, and proposed that, if necessary and at the SMAN’s discretion, the latter could also participate directly in the negotiation’.
Kao prvo, prema mišljenju Francuske, u svojim prijedlozima upućenima sindikatu SMAN tijekom javnog natječaja „društvo VTAN navelo je da će u slučaju prijenosa ovlasti za obavljanje javnih usluga tijekom pregovora s društvom Ryanair blisko surađivati sa sindikatom SMAN kako bi ga postupno obavještavalo o napretku rasprava te je preložilo da, po potrebi i prema njegovoj želji, sudjeluje izravno u pregovorima”.
According to France, the SMAN never expressed a desire to become involved in these negotiations.
Prema mišljenju Francuske, sindikat SMAN nije nikad izrazio želju da sudjeluje u tim pregovorima.
However, the simple fact that it had the option to do so gave it a certain degree of influence over these negotiations.
Međutim, sama činjenica da je imao tu mogućnost podrazumijeva da je imao određeni utjecaj na te pregovore.
For example, it could have intervened if VTAN had tried to impose conditions on Ryanair that may have prompted the latter to reduce its traffic at Nîmes airport.
Naime, mogao je, na primjer, intervenirati da je društvo VTAN pokušalo nametnuti društvu Ryanair uvjete koji su ga mogli potaknuti da smanji svoj promet u Zračnoj luci Nîmes.
Secondly, it was the SMAN that was responsible for setting the airport charges, pursuant to Article 28 of the CDSP.
Kao drugo, sindikat SMAN dužan je utvrditi naknade zračne luke na temelju članka 28. ugovora CDSP.
