Therefore, the mere fact that a public undertaking is under state control is not sufficient for measures taken by that undertaking, such as the agreement of 3 March 2003 concluded between Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH and Ryanair and the subsequent marketing agreements, to be considered imputable to the State [121].
Sama činjenica da je javno društvo pod državnom kontrolom stoga nije dovoljna da se mjere tog društva, poput ugovora od 3. ožujka 2003. i kasnijih ugovora o marketingu, pripišu državi [121].
According to the Court of Justice, indicators from which imputability can be inferred, are [122]:
Sud smatra da su pokazatelji na temelju kojih je moguće odrediti pripisivost sljedeći [122]:
the fact that the undertaking in question could not take the contested decision without taking account of the requirements of the public authorities;
činjenica da predmetno društvo nije moglo donijeti spornu odluku bez uzimanja u obzir zahtjeva javnih tijela;
the fact that the undertaking had to take account of directives issued by public authorities;
činjenica je društvo moralo poštovati odluke javnih tijela;
the integration of the public undertaking into the structures of public administration;
integracija javnog društva u strukture javne uprave;
the nature of the public undertaking's activities and the exercise of these activities in the market in normal conditions of competition with private operators;
priroda djelatnosti javnog društva i obavljanje tih djelatnosti na tržištu u uobičajenim uvjetima tržišnog natjecanja s privatnim gospodarskim subjektima;
the legal status of the undertaking;
pravni položaj društva;
the intensity of the supervision exercised by the public authorities over the management of the undertaking;
stupanj nadzora koji nadležna tijela provode u pogledu upravljanja društvom;
any other indicator showing, in the particular case, an involvement by the public authorities in the adoption of a measure or the unlikelihood of their not being involved, having regard also to the compass of the measure, its content or the conditions which it contains.
drugi pokazatelji koji u konkretnom slučaju upućuju na sudjelovanje nadležnih tijela u donošenju mjere ili na to da postoji mala vjerojatnost da nadležna tijela nisu u tome sudjelovala, pri čemu je potrebno uzeti u obzir opseg mjere, njezin sadržaj ili njezine uvjete.
Germany argues that the Ministry of Construction and Transport of the Land of Thuringia had no right to influence the conclusion of the contracts with Ryanair/AMS.
Njemačka navodi argument da Ministarstvo graditeljstva i prometa savezne pokrajine Tiringije pri sklapanju ugovorâ s društvom Ryanair odnosno AMS nije imalo pravo izvršavati utjecaj.
According to Germany, the relevant ministry and the government of the Land of Thuringia were only involved in the decision-process regarding the infrastructure investments in the airport.
Njemačka navodi da su mjerodavno ministarstvo i vlada savezne pokrajine Tiringije sudjelovali samo u postupku donošenja odluke o ulaganju u infrastrukturu zračne luke.
Germany rejects the Commission's arguments as to the supervisory role of the Ministry of Construction and Transport of the Land of Thuringia and therefore the presumed imputability to the State of the measure in question.
Njemačka odbija argumente Komisije u pogledu nadzorne funkcije Ministarstva graditeljstva i prometa savezne pokrajine Tiringije, a time i moguću pripisivost predmetne potpore državi.
Germany also rejects the Commission's argument according to which the setting of airport fees must, under German aviation law §43a LuftVZO, receive prior approval by the supervisory authority before they can be put into effect.
Njemačka odbija i argument Komisije da određivanje naknada zračne luke prije njihova stupanja na snagu u skladu s njemačkim Zakonom o zračnom prometu, tj. člankom 43.a zakona LuftVZO, mora odobriti nadzorno tijelo.
According to Germany, even without the approval of the supervisory authority, the setting of airport fees could be adopted by Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH, since the supervisory authority only has to check that the fees do not exceed a certain level.
Njemačka navodi da je društvo Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH moglo odrediti naknade zračne luke i bez dozvole nadzornog tijela jer nadležno tijelo mora samo provjeriti jesu li naknade manje od određenog iznosa.
In August 2010, the Gera Chamber of Commerce, a public body, campaigned in favour of the continuation of the low-cost concept at AOC and urged the government of the Land of Thuringia to negotiate with Ryanair on destinations and marketing measures [123].
U kolovozu 2010. Trgovačka komora u Geri, javni subjekt, provela je kampanju za nastavak koncepta niskotarifnih letova na AOC-u i zatražila od vlade savezne pokrajine Tiringije hitne pregovore s društvom Ryanair o odredištima i marketinškim aktivnostima [123].
According to Germany, this argument supports the market economy investor analysis, according to which maintaining and supporting Ryanair routes was economically justified.
Njemačka navodi da se tim argumentom podupire ispitivanje na temelju načela ulagatelja u tržišnom gospodarstvu u skladu s kojim su održavanje i podupiranje linija društva Ryanair bili gospodarski održivi.
However, the Commission considers that the competent ministries of the Land of Thuringia were involved in the conclusion of the Ryanair contracts.
Međutim, Komisija smatra da su nadležna ministarstva savezne pokrajine Tiringije sudjelovala u sklapanju ugovorâ s društvom Ryanair.
Before Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH concluded the contract on airport services with Ryanair, the competent ministries of the Land of Thuringia apparently took part in the negotiations.
Čini se da je savezna pokrajina Tiringija sudjelovala u pregovorima prije nego što je društvo Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH sklopilo ugovor o uslugama zračne luke s društvom Ryanair.
A press article states that negotiations took longer because the ministries of the Land of Thuringia tried to block the deal [124].
Iz jednog novinskog članka proizlazi da su pregovori dulje trajali jer su ministarstva savezne pokrajine Tiringije pokušavala blokirati sklapanje posla [124].
The article also explains that the start of Ryanair at AOC could reduce passenger numbers at Dresden and Leipzig-Halle airport [125].
U članku se izjavljuje i da bi se početkom poslovanja društva Ryanair na AOC-u broj putnika u zračnim lukama Dresden i Leipzig-Halle mogao smanjiti [125].
The Ministry of Building and Transport of the Land of Thuringia is the supervisory authority of Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH.
Ministarstvo graditeljstva i prometa savezne pokrajine Tiringije nadzorno je tijelo društva Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH.
In addition, under German aviation law, §43 LuftVZO, the setting of airport fees must receive prior approval by the supervisory authority before they can be put into effect.
Osim toga, u skladu s njemačkim Zakonom o zračnom prometu tj. s člankom 43. zakona LuftVZO, za određivanje naknada zračne luke prije njihova stupanja na snagu, potrebna je dozvola nadzornog tijela.
Moreover, the AOC Schedule of Charges of 18 September 2006 provides for signature by a representative of the Ministry of Building and Transport.
Usto je u pravilniku o naknadama AOC-a od 18. rujna 2006. predviđen potpis predstavnika Ministarstva graditeljstva i prometa.
The involvement of the ministries at political level can be seen from the discussion in the Parliament of the Land of Thuringia.
Sudjelovanje ministarstava na političkoj razini razvidno je i iz rasprave u parlamentu savezne pokrajine Tiringije.
Not only technical questions but also the overall economic viability of the airport were discussed, as recorded in the detailed minutes of the discussion [126].
Tamo se, na temelju opsežnog zapisnika s rasprave, nije razgovaralo samo o stručnim pitanjima, nego i o općenitoj gospodarskoj isplativosti zračne luke [126].
The marketing agreements with Ryanair were also discussed at the level of the district council (‘Kreistag’).
Ugovori o marketingu s društvom Ryanair usto su se razmatrali i na razini okružnog parlamenta.
A press article states that the Kreistag approved the payment of EUR 670000 for marketing measures regarding the setting-up of a new flight connection by Ryanair [127].
U novijem novinskom članku izvještava se da je okružni parlament odobrio plaćanje iznosa od 670000 EUR za marketinške aktivnosti u pogledu uspostave nove linije društva Ryanair.
The head of the district ( ‘Landrat’) is quoted as saying that without the marketing payments the scheduled services would have been stopped.
Citira se izjava parlamenta savezne pokrajine da bi se redovite linije ukinule bez plaćanja za marketing.
Finally, the Commission notes that the involvement of Gera Chamber of Commerce — a public and self-administering body incorporated under public law — in the conclusion of Ryanair's agreements confirms the exercise of public influence over the decision-making process regarding those contracts.
Naposljetku Komisija napominje da sudjelovanje Trgovačke komore u Geri, samoupravnog tijela javnog prava, u sklapanju ugovorâ s društvom Ryanair potvrđuje postojanje javnog utjecaja na postupak odlučivanja o tim ugovorima.
To conclude, looking at the supervision by the Ministry of Construction and Transport of the Land of Thuringia, the involvement of the ministries at political level, the various discussions which took place in the Parliament of the Land of Thuringia and the involvement of public entities, it appears that public bodies were in a position to control the activities of Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH, and that they were involved in important decisions concerning the economic exploitation of the airport.
Ako se naposljetku razmatra provođenje nadzora Ministarstva graditeljstva i prometa savezne pokrajine Tiringije, sudjelovanje ministarstava na političkoj razini, razne rasprave u parlamentu savezne pokrajine Tiringije i sudjelovanje javnih subjekata, čini se da su javna tijela bila u stanju kontrolirati djelatnosti društva Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH. Čini se i da su sudjelovala u važnim odlukama o gospodarskom korištenju zračnom lukom.
In particular, when business at the airport was beset by problems, public authorities were involved in discussions about the future of the airport.
Posebno u trenutku kad je poslovanje zračne luke bilo suočeno s problemima javna tijela sudjelovala su u raspravama o budućnosti zračne luke. Na političkoj razini u saveznoj pokrajini Tiringiji održavale su se kontroverzne rasprave.
Controversial discussions took place at the political level in the Land of Thuringia, and the change of government at Land level contributed to the decision to convert the airport in 2010 and to discontinue low-cost traffic at the airport [128].
Promjena vlade na razini pokrajine 2010. pridonijela je odluci o preusmjeravanju poslovanja zračne luke i obustavi tamošnjeg niskotarifnog prijevoza [128].
Therefore, the Commission takes the view that the decision concerning the implementation of the agreement of 3 March 2003 and the marketing agreement of 7 April 2003 concluded between Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH and Ryanair, and the marketing agreements concluded between Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH and Airport Marketing Services thereafter are imputable to public authorities.
Stoga Komisija smatra da su odluka o provedbi ugovora od 3. ožujka 2003. i ugovora o marketingu od 7. travnja 2003. koje su sklopila društva Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH i Ryanair te ugovori o marketingu koje su naknadno sklopila društva Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH i Airport Marketing Services pripisivi javnim tijelima.
In order to determine whether the airport services and marketing agreements granted Ryanair/AMS an advantage, the Commission has to examine whether in similar circumstances an airport operating under normal conditions of the market economy and guided by prospects of profitability in the longer term would have entered into the same or similar commercial arrangement as Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH. The existence of an advantage can normally be excluded if:
Kako bi se utvrdilo je li društvu Ryanair odnosno AMS ugovorima o uslugama zračne luke i marketingu dodijeljena prednost, Komisija mora ispitati bi li zračna luka u uobičajenim tržišnim uvjetima koja slijedi dugoročne izglede dobiti u sličnim okolnostima sklopila jednake ili slične trgovinske sporazume kao društvo Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH.
the price charged for the airport services corresponds to the market price; or (b) if it can be demonstrated through an ex ante analysis that the agreements with the airline incrementally contribute to the profitability of the airport and are part of an overall strategy leading to profitability in the long term.
Postojanje prednosti obično se može isključiti ako (a) cijena naplaćena za usluge zračne luke odgovara tržišnoj cijeni ili (b) ako se na temelju analize provedene ex ante može dokazati da ugovori sa zračnom lukom dodatno pridonose isplativosti zračne luke i da su sastavni dio ukupne strategije koja će dugoročno dovesti do isplativosti.
According to the Charleroi judgment [129], when assessing the measures in question the Commission has to take into account all the relevant features of the measures and their context.
U skladu s presudom u predmetu Charleroi [129] Komisija u ocjeni spornih mjera mora uzeti u obzir sve relevantne značajke mjera i njihov kontekst.
In other words, the Commission has to analyse the expected impact of the agreements on AOC taking into account all relevant features of the measures in question.
Drugim riječima: Komisija mora ispitati očekivani učinak ugovorâ na AOC uzimajući u obzir sve relevantne značajke spornih mjera.
The Court declared in the Stardust Marine judgment that, ‘… in order to examine whether or not the State has adopted the conduct of a prudent investor operating in a market economy, it is necessary to place oneself in the context of the period during which the financial support measures were taken in order to assess the economic rationality of the State's conduct, and thus to refrain from any assessment based on a later situation’ [130].
U presudi u predmetu Stardust Marine Sud je utvrdio da „…u cilju ispitivanja je li država postupila kao razumni ulagatelj u tržišnom gospodarstvu nužno je staviti se u kontekst razdoblja u kojem su poduzete mjere financijske potpore radi ocjene gospodarske razumnosti postupanja države i suzdržati se od ocjenjivanja utemeljenog na kasnijoj situaciji”. [130]
In order to be able to apply the market economy operator test, the Commission has to take itself back to the time when the agreements between AOC and Ryanair/AMS were concluded (i.e. 2003 for the airport services and first marketing agreement, 2008 for the second marketing agreement and 2010 for the third one).
Kako bi se mogao primijeniti test subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu, Komisija se mora vratiti u razdoblje u kojem su sklopljeni ugovori između društava AOC i Ryanair odnosno AMS, to jest u 2003. za ugovor o uslugama zračne luke i prvi ugovor o marketingu, u 2008. za drugi ugovor o marketingu i u 2010. za treći ugovor.
The Commission must also base its assessment on the information and assumptions which were available to the airport when the agreements were signed.
Nadalje, Komisija mora svoju ocjenu temeljiti na informacijama i pretpostavkama koje je zračna luka imala na raspolaganju u vrijeme potpisivanja ugovorâ.
Market price analysis
Analiza tržišne cijene
The Commission has to determine whether the price conditions applied to Ryanair/AMS by Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH correspond to the market price.
Komisija mora utvrditi jesu li uvjeti u pogledu cijene koje je društvo Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH primjenjivalo za Ryanair odnosno AMS odgovarali tržišnoj cijeni.
In this regard, Germany argues that the airport services agreement signed between AOC and Ryanair on 3 March 2003 was market-compliant and that the airport fees applicable to Ryanair were in line with those stipulated in the schedule of airport charges described at Section 3.4.1.
U tom pogledu Njemačka navodi argument da je ugovor o uslugama zračne luke koji su 3. ožujka 2003. sklopili AOC i Ryanair u skladu s tržištem i da su naknade zračne luke koje vrijede za Ryanair u skladu s naknadama utvrđenima Pravilnikom o naknadama zračne luke opisanim u odjeljku 3.4.1.
The schedules are applicable to all potential airlines flying to/from the airport.
Pravilnici o naknadama vrijede za sve zračne prijevoznike koji možda lete prema zračnoj luci odnosno s nje.
The fact that Ryanair was the only airline active at Altenburg-Nobitz airport in the 2003-2011 period is irrelevant according to Germany.
Njemačka smatra da je činjenica da je Ryanair u razdoblju 2003.–2011. bio jedino društvo koje je poslovalo u zračnoj luci Altenburg-Nobitz nevažna.
Germany is of the opinion that the marketing services agreements concluded with Ryanair and AMS have to be considered separately.
Njemačka smatra da je ugovore o marketinškim uslugama sklopljene s društvima Ryanair i AMS potrebno razmatrati odvojeno.
However, the Commission notes that AMS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ryanair;
Međutim, Komisija upućuje na to da je AMS društvo kći u stopostotnom vlasništvu društva Ryanair.
therefore the Commission considers that both types of agreements with Ryanair and AMS have to be considered together.
Stoga Komisija smatra da je obje vrste ugovora s društvima Ryanair i AMS potrebno razmatrati zajedno.
Secondly, regarding possible separate consideration of the Ryanair airport services agreement and the marketing agreement of 7 April 2003, the marketing agreement itself mentions that the success fee is to be deducted from the airport services fees to arrive at the net charge to be paid by Ryanair.
Nadalje, u pogledu mogućeg odvojenog razmatranja ugovora s društvom Ryanair o uslugama zračne luke i marketingu od 7. travnja 2003., u samom ugovoru o marketingu navodi se da je za izračun neto naknade koju plaća Ryanair potrebno oduzeti naknadu za uspjeh.
The agreement itself opts for a net result of the airport services fees to be paid by Ryanair on the one hand and the marketing fees to be paid by the airport on the other.
U samom ugovoru odlučilo se s jedne strane za neto rezultat na temelju naknada za zračne luke koje plaća Ryanair, a s druge strane za naknade za marketing koje plaća zračna luka.
In any case, the Commission has to consider the overall price paid by the airline in order to determine whether it paid the market price.
Kako bi se utvrdilo je li predmetno društvo plaćalo tržišnu cijenu, Komisija mora uzeti u obzir ukupnu cijenu koju je plaćao zračni prijevoznik.
Indeed, Ryanair paid airport fees to Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH during the years 2003-2011 when it served AOC, and received payments for marketing services from the airport.
Ryanair je u razdoblju 2003.–2011., u kojem je poslovao na AOC-u, zaista plaćao naknade zračne luke društvu Flugplatz Altenburg-Nobitz GmbH i od zračne luke primao plaćanja za marketinške usluge.
As mentioned in recital 49, the German authorities state that AOC collects from Ryanair a fixed landing fee of […]* per aircraft and a passenger fee of […]* per passenger.
Kako je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi 49., AOC, u skladu s izjavom njemačkih nadležnih tijela, od društva Ryanair naplaćuje fiksnu naknadu za slijetanje u iznosu od […]* po zrakoplovu te naknadu za putnike u iznosu od […]* po putniku.
An extra handling fee does not seem to apply since the fees paid by Ryanair also include handling [131].
Čini se da ne postoji posebna naknada za otpremu jer je otprema uključena u naknade koje plaća Ryanair [131].
However, these fees are reduced by the marketing ‘success fee’, so in the end Ryanair only pays the airport a fixed fee of […]* [132] per departing passenger.
Međutim, te naknade umanjuju se za „naknadu za uspjeh” za marketing, tako da Ryanair zračnoj luci naposljetku plaća samo fiksnu naknadu od […]* [132] po otpremljenom putniku.
Ryanair thus receives a discount from the official fees as they are set out in the AOC schedule of charges and described in Section 3.4.1.
Ryanair posljedično dobiva smanjenje službenih naknada utvrđenih u pravilniku o naknadama AOC-a i opisanih u odjeljku 3.4.1.
In order to establish whether the price charged by an airport to an airline corresponds to the market price, an appropriate benchmark has to be identified.
Kako bi se moglo utvrditi odgovara li cijena koju zračna luka zahtijeva od zračnog prijevoznika tržišnoj cijeni, potrebno je utvrditi odgovarajuću referentnu vrijednost.
Nevertheless the Commission has strong doubts as to whether an appropriate benchmark can be identified in this case to establish the true market price for the services provided by Ryanair/AMS.
Međutim, Komisija čvrsto sumnja u to da se u ovom predmetu za određivanje stvarne tržišne cijene usluga koje su pružili Ryanair odnosno AMS može u okviru postupka određivanja referentne vrijednosti odrediti odgovarajuća referentna vrijednost.
In any event, the Commission considers that a benchmarking exercise should be based on a comparison of airport charges, net of any benefits provided to the airline (such as marketing support, discounts or any other incentive), across a sufficient number of suitable ‘comparator airports’, whose managers behave as market economy operators.
Komisija u svakom slučaju smatra da se postupak određivanja referentne vrijednosti mora temeljiti na usporedbi naknada zračne luke, umanjenih za usluge odobrene pojedinom zračnom prijevozniku (primjerice potpora za marketing, popusti ili drugi poticaji), i da se taj postupak mora odnositi na dovoljan broj primjerenih usporednih zračnih luka s upraviteljima koji djeluju u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
In view of the difficulty in this case of finding comparator airports, the Commission considers an ex ante incremental profitability analysis to be the most relevant criterion for the assessment of the agreements between AOC and Ryanair/AMS.
S obzirom na to da je u ovom predmetu teško odrediti usporedne zračne luke Komisija uzima u obzir analizu dodatne isplativosti provedenu ex ante kao najrelevantniji kriterij za ocjenu ugovora koje su sklopili AOC i Ryanair odnosno AMS.
Ex ante analysis to demonstrate the profitability of the airport
Ex ante analiza za dokazivanje isplativosti zračne luke
The Commission considers that arrangements concluded between airlines and an airport can be deemed to satisfy the market economy investor test if they contribute incrementally, from an ex ante standpoint, to the profitability of the airport.
Komisija smatra da se sporazumi sklopljeni između zračnih prijevoznika i zračne luke mogu smatrati usklađenima s testom subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu kada, promatrajući ex ante, dodatno pridonose isplativosti zračne luke.
The airport should demonstrate that, when setting up an arrangement with an airline (for example, an individual contract or an overall scheme of airport charges), it is capable of covering all costs stemming from the arrangement, for the duration of the arrangement and with a reasonable profit margin [133] on the basis of sound medium-term prospects [134].
Zračna luka trebala bi dokazati da je pri sklapanju sporazuma sa zračnom lukom (primjerice pojedinačnim ugovorom ili opsežnim pravilnikom o naknadama zračne luke) u stanju pokrivati sve troškove povezane s tim sporazumom tijekom trajanja sporazuma primjerenom profitnom maržom [133] na temelju stabilnih srednjoročnih izgleda [134].
The Commission will therefore take into account all expected costs incurred incrementally by the airport in relation to the airline's activity at the airport [135].
Komisija će stoga uzeti u obzir sve očekivane dodatne troškove koji nastanu za zračnu luku u vezi s poslovanjem zračnog prijevoznika u zračnoj luci [135].
Such incremental costs may include all types of expenses or investments, such as incremental personnel, equipment and investment costs arising from the presence of the airline at the airport.
Dodatni troškovi mogu obuhvaćati sve vrste rashoda ili ulaganja, primjerice dodatne troškove za osoblje, opremu i ulaganja koji nastanu zbog prisutnosti zračnog prijevoznika u zračnoj luci.
