The airport manager considers that this represents, firstly, a reversal of position by the Commission in relation to its established decision-making practice and, secondly, a lack of understanding of the international and European regulations on transport safety and security.
Upravitelj smatra da je, s jedne strane, riječ o promjeni stajališta Komisije u odnosu na njezinu postojeću praksu odlučivanja i, s druge strane, o nepoznavanju međunarodnih i europskih propisa u području sigurnosti i zaštite u području prijevoza.
BSCA reminds the Commission that these services of general interest, which were previously provided by the administration, were transferred with the intention of ensuring sound management and flexibility.
BSCA podsjeća Komisiju da je prijenos tih usluga od općeg interesa, koje je prethodno obavljala uprava, obrazložen željom za dobrom upravom i fleksibilnošću.
The compensation paid by the Walloon authorities is therefore capped and cost-based and does not create any advantage for BSCA.
Stoga je utvrđena gornja granica naknade koju plaćaju valonska tijela, koja je opravdana troškovima i BSCA-u ne donosi nikakvu dobit.
An audit system has been established in order to prevent any overcompensation.
Uspostavljen je sustav nadzora kako bi se izbjegla bilo kakva prekomjerna naknada.
With regard to the capital increase, BSCA notes that the Commission did not question this during the initial investigation and takes the view that this complies with the market economy private investor principle.
U pogledu povećanja kapitala, BSCA podsjeća da Komisija nije izrazila nikakve sumnje tijekom prve istrage te smatra da je djelovao u skladu s načelom privatnog ulagača u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
The airport manager adds that this increase was decided on the basis of a credible and realistic business plan and that it was justified by its needs due to the considerable development of its activities.
Upravitelj dodaje da je o tom povećanju odlučeno na temelju uvjerljivog i realističnog poslovnog plana te da je ono bilo opravdano njegovim potrebama u okviru znatnog razvoja njegovih djelatnosti.
Lastly, in BSCA's opinion, the development of its activities in partnership with Ryanair enabled SOWAER to profit from the good results achieved by BSCA, given that it made a substantial capital gain when it sold some of its shares in 2009.
Naposljetku, zbog razvoja djelatnosti BSCA-a u suradnji s društvom Ryanair SOWAER bi, prema mišljenju BSCA-a, mogao imati koristi od dobrih poslovnih rezultata BSCA-a što bi dovelo do znatnog kapitalnog dobitka pri prodaji dijela njegovih dionica u 2009.
Comments from interested parties on the measures granted to Ryanair
Primjedbe zainteresiranih osoba o mjerama u korist društva Ryanair
(Comments received following the 2002 opening decision)
(primjedbe primljene nakon donošenja odluke o otvaranju postupka iz 2002.)
The airline Britannia considers that it is normal for airports to be able to provide marketing support and reductions according to the volume of passengers supplied by airlines, especially in the case of airports that are not yet well established.
Zračni prijevoznik Britannia smatra da je uobičajeno da zračne luke mogu nuditi marketinšku podršku i popuste ovisno o broju putnika koje prevezu prijevoznici, posebno ako je riječ o zračnim lukama koje još ne postoje.
However, these advantages must remain proportional, realistic and limited in duration.
Međutim, te prednosti trebaju ostati razmjerne, realistične i vremenski ograničene.
Britannia is worried about the inequality created between competing airlines in this specific case.
Britannia je zabrinuta zbog nejednakosti koja je u ovom slučaju nastala među konkurentnim zračnim prijevoznicima.
The airport charges are unequal and unrealistic, even though the low-cost airlines use the runways, terminals and safety and security facilities in the same way as other airlines.
Pristojbe zračne luke nejednake su i nerealistične, dok se niskotarifni prijevoznici jednako kao i drugi prijevoznici služe uzletno-sletnim stazama, terminalima ili sigurnosnim sustavima.
SAS points out that the deregulation of European airspace has led to increased competition among the traditional airlines and has also allowed the creation of new airlines, which have developed new business concepts.
SAS podsjeća da je nereguliranost europskog neba dovela do povećane konkurencije među tradicionalnim zračnim prijevoznicima te je omogućila i osnivanje novih prijevoznika koji su razvili nove poduzetničke koncepte.
It is of fundamental importance that this competition complies with a regulatory framework applied transparently and without discrimination.
Ključno je da ta konkurencija bude u skladu s propisima koji se primjenjuju transparentno i nediskriminirajuće.
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
KLM Royal Dutch Airline
Low-cost airlines generally avoid large airports, where the logistics can be complicated and usage costs high. Instead they choose regional platforms allowing them to operate rapid rotations at a reduced cost.
Niskotarifni prijevoznici većinom izbjegavaju velike zračne luke čija logistika može biti složena, a troškovi upotrebe visoki: oni se odlučuju za regionalna čvorišta koja im omogućuju da svoje brze povratne letove obavljaju po nižoj cijeni.
These developments should not be called into question, but they should not be based on aid.
Takav razvoj situacije ne bi trebalo dovoditi u pitanje, ali njime se ne mogu opravdati potpore.
According to KLM, the advantages received by Ryanair at Charleroi airport go well beyond what is permitted under Article 107(1) TFEU, and the consideration offered by Ryanair, consisting of basing a number of aircraft at Charleroi airport, changes nothing in this state of affairs.
KLM smatra da prednosti koje je Ryanair primio u Charleroiu uvelike nadilaze ono što je dopušteno u okviru članka 107. stavka 1. UFEU-a, a činjenica da je Ryanair u zamjenu pristao bazirati određeni broj svojih zrakoplova u Zračnoj luci Charleroi nikako ne mijenja tu okolnost.
Air France considers that the reduction in the fees charged to Ryanair and its absorption by the Region and BSCA create a disadvantage for Ryanair's competitors who provide links on the intra-Community market.
Air France smatra da sniženje naknada primjenjivih na društvo Ryanair te činjenica da su ih snosili Valonska regija i BSCA stavljaju u nepovoljan položaj konkurente društva Ryanair koji svoje linije pružaju unutar tržišta Zajednice.
The reduction in the landing fee allows Ryanair to reduce its operating costs and in fact makes it more competitive than its competitors, not only for the flights that it operates into or out of Charleroi airport but also throughout the Ryanair network.
Sniženje naknade za slijetanje omogućuje društvu Ryanair da smanji svoje operativne troškove ta ga zapravo čini kompetitivnijim od njegovih konkurenata, ne samo na letovima kojima upravlja s polazištem ili odredištem u Charleroiu, nego i u cijeloj mreži društva Ryanair.
The compensation commitment made by the Region is also regarded as an advantage guaranteeing stability of operating conditions to Ryanair, given that ‘practical experience of using any airport platform demonstrates that the commercial and regulatory environment is never rigid. Airport charges can therefore easily rise if the airport manager is forced to finance specific measures, possibly with the aim of accommodating other carriers wishing to establish themselves at Charleroi airport. In addition, the development of environmental measures can alter the conditions of operation of an airport’.
Naknada troškova na koju se Valonska regija obvezala jednako se tako smatra prednošću kojom se društvu Ryanair jamče stabilni uvjeti poslovanja dok „praksa upotrebe bilo koje platforme zračne luke ukazuje na to da se poslovna i regulatorna okolina stalno mijenja. Tako iznos pristojbi zračne luke može lako rasti ako se upravitelj obveže da će financirati posebne mjere, eventualno kako bi prihvatio druge prijevoznike koji bi željeli doći poslovati u Charleroi. Nadalje, jednako se tako promjenom ekoloških mjera mogu izmijeniti uvjeti upotrebe zračne luke.”
According to Austrian Airlines, the arrival of low-cost airlines has resulted in a subsidies race between airports and regions wanting to be served by these carriers.
Austrian Airlines smatra da je dolazak niskotarifnih prijevoznika doveo do utrke za poticaje između zračnih luka i regija koje žele da ih opslužuju ti prijevoznici.
These developments have called into question the principle of infrastructure availability payments, even though this is one of the basic rules in the civil aviation world.
Tim se razmatranjima dovodi u pitanje načelo nadoknade za stavljanje na raspolaganje infrastrukture, iako je riječ o jednom od glavnih pravila iz svijeta civilnog zrakoplovstva.
The aid granted is not degressive, it is independent of the success achieved by Ryanair in the links that it serves and it benefits one airline only, which leads to discrimination.
Dodijeljene potpore nisu degresivne, neovisne su o uspjehu društva Ryanair na linijama koje opslužuje i ne pogoduju nijednom drugom zračnom prijevozniku, što dovodi do diskriminacije.
Austrian Airlines concludes that ‘cooperation’ such as that observed between Ryanair and the Region causes significant distortions of competition between airlines and is largely incompatible with the smooth operation of the internal market for aviation.
Austrian zaključuje da „suradnje”, poput one zabilježene između društva Ryanair i Valonske regije, dovode do bitnih narušavanja tržišnog natjecanja među zračnim prijevoznicima te su izrazito neusklađene s pravilnim funkcioniranjem unutarnjeg tržišta zrakoplovstva.
Association of Residents and Inhabitants of Municipalities Close to Charleroi-Gosselies Airport (ARACH)
Udruga okolnih stanovnika i stanovnika općina u okolici Zračne luke Charleroi-Gosselies (Association des riverains et habitants des communes proches de l′aéroport de Charleroi-Gosselies, ARACH)
The Association is concerned that the financial aid granted to Ryanair will lead to ‘unbridled development of the airport’ within an urban site, and that in these terms ‘as both citizens and taxpayers, we are concerned about the questionable State aid granted to a private company, as this involves improper use of the Walloon Region's budgetary resources’.
ARACH je zabrinut jer financijske potpore dodijeljene društvu Ryanair dovode do „nekontroliranog razvoja Zračne luke” u urbanoj sredini i jer „smo kao građani i porezni obveznici zabrinuti zbog spornih javnih potpora dodijeljenih privatnom društvu zato što je riječ o zloupotrebi proračunskih sredstava Valonske regije”.
Interested Party A
Zainteresirana strana A
Interested Party A states that it is ‘very concerned’ about the subsidies granted by the public authorities, which will affect the conditions of competition between the various modes of transport. ‘Ryanair is therefore benefiting in particular from public subsidies for the Charleroi-London link, while Eurostar, operated jointly by SNCB, British railway operators and SNCF, is not benefiting from them. Both means of transport are, however, in direct competition for the Brussels-London link. It is up to the railway operators alone to advertise the link, purchase the rolling stock and engines, pay infrastructure and tunnel tolls, etc. Equal treatment between competitors is therefore upset’.
Zainteresirana strana A izrazila je da je „vrlo zabrinuta” zbog subvencija koje su dodijelila javna tijela, a koje utječu na uvjete tržišnog natjecanja među različitim prijevoznim sredstvima: „Tako prijevoznik Ryanair prima osobito javne poticaje za liniju Charleroi – London, dok ih Eurostar, kojim zajedno upravljaju SNCB, britanske željeznice i SNCF, ne prima. Međutim, oba su prijevozna sredstva u izravnoj konkurenciji na liniji Bruxelles – London. Samo su željeznički prijevoznici dužni sami oglašavati svoju liniju, kupiti opremu i vuču, platiti pristojbe za infrastrukturu i tunel itd. Zato je narušeno jednako postupanje među konkurentima.”
Interested Party B
Zainteresirana strana B
Interested Party B points out that the advantages granted to Ryanair reduce its cost structure and enable it to charge lower fares.
Zainteresirana strana B tvrdi da je Ryanair dodijeljenim prednostima rasteretio svoju strukturu troškova i da zato može primjenjivati niže cijene.
These practices affect the conditions of competition, whether these companies operate out of Charleroi airport or Brussels airport and whatever the route served.
Te prakse utječu na uvjete tržišnog natjecanja, neovisno o tome posluju li ti prijevoznici iz Charleroia ili Zračne luke Bruxelles-National te bez obzira na opsluživane linije.
Competition between low-cost airlines is not merely competition that must be analysed on a route-by-route basis.
Tržišno natjecanje među tzv. niskotarifnim prijevoznicima ne treba analizirati samo prema linijama.
For many travellers, the destinations of Venice or Barcelona are wholly exchangeable.
Mnogim su putnicima odredišta Venecija i Barcelona zamjenjiva.
Competition therefore applies to every route.
Stoga se tržišno natjecanje odvija na svim linijama.
This company explains that the direct costs out of Brussels airport are EUR 32,14 per passenger compared with EUR 5 for Ryanair operating out of Charleroi airport [87].
Taj poduzetnik objašnjava da izravni troškovi po putniku u odlasku iz Bruxellesa iznose 32,14 EUR u odnosu na 5 EUR po putniku u odlasku iz Charleroia [87].
Even though the ground handling services are more limited for Ryanair than for other airlines, this interested party points out that a considerable number of ground handling services are still necessary for all airlines.
Čak i da su zemaljske usluge ograničenije u slučaju društva Ryanair, nego u slučaju drugih zračnih prijevoznika, ta zainteresirana strana napominje da brojne zemaljske usluge ipak trebaju svi prijevoznici.
The fact that the ground handling market is open to competition at Brussels airport means that these fees should not normally be much higher at Brussels airport than at Charleroi airport.
Činjenica da je tržište zemaljskih usluga otvoreno tržišnom natjecanju u Zračnoj luci Bruxelles-National znači da trošak zemaljskih usluga uobičajeno ne bi trebao biti znatno veći u Zračnoj luci Bruxelles-National u odnosu na Zračnu luku Charleroi.
Ground handling fees are, generally speaking, higher at small airports than at large airports, given that companies cannot usually reach the critical size needed to make economies of scale.
U načelu su troškovi zemaljskih usluga viši u malim zračnim lukama nego u velikima jer poduzetnici uglavnom ne uspijevaju ostvariti kritičnu masu za poslovanje u ekonomiji razmjera.
This interested party estimates that Ryanair saved EUR 17 million in 2003 on ground handling fees and landing fees.
Ta zainteresirana strana procjenjuje da je Ryanair 2003. uštedio 17 milijuna EUR na stvarnom trošku zemaljskih usluga i naknadi za slijetanje.
In its opinion, it also appears that BSCA has not taken account of Council Directive 96/67/EC [88]: the airport should reach two million passengers a year quite quickly and BSCA will need to apply the Directive at this threshold and open the ground handling market to other operators.
Jednako se tako pokazalo da BSCA nije uzeo u obzir učinke Direktive Vijeća 96/67/EZ [88]: Zračna je luka trebala prilično brzo doseći dva milijuna putnika godišnje te je BSCA trebao primijeniti Direktivu pri dostizanju tog praga i otvoriti tržište zemaljskih usluga drugim operatorima.
BSCA has allegedly acted not as a private investor in a market economy but for political and social reasons, on the instructions of the Region.
BSCA je djelovao kao privatni ulagač u tržišnom gospodarstvu samo iz političkih i socijalnih razloga, na prijedlog Valonske regije.
The 15-year contract will probably not allow BSCA to establish itself as a profitable business and it is expected to continue to experience operational problems.
BSCA vjerojatno na temelju 15-godišnjeg ugovora ne bi uspio uspostaviti profitabilno poslovanje te bi nastavio imati poteškoće s upravljanjem.
The prospect of a return on the investment could be undermined if Ryanair withdraws [89].
Izglede za povrat ulaganja moglo je narušiti povlačenje društva Ryanair [89].
BSCA allegedly receives contributions from the Region, such as 65 % of the revenue from the airport charges and the placing at its disposal of the infrastructure free of charge, even though the Region pays a contribution to SOWAER.
BSCA je dobio doprinose Valonske regije, neovisno o tome je li riječ o prihodu od pristojbe zračne luke u visini od 65 % ili o besplatnom stavljanju na raspolaganje infrastrukture, dok Valonska regija plaća doprinos SOWAER-u.
In principle, each payment from the Region should be limited to the compensation for the costs associated with the public service obligations imposed on BSCA, and the situation is not very clear in this regard.
U načelu svaka isplata Valonske regije mora biti ograničena na naknadu troškova povezanih s obvezama javne usluge koje snosi BSCA. U tom je pogledu situacija prilično nejasna.
For this company, which acknowledges having also on occasion benefited from ‘marketing’ advantages for the launch of new destinations, but never from reductions in airport charges or ground handling costs, the advantages granted to Ryanair at Charleroi airport go well beyond the bounds of current practice.
Taj poduzetnik, koji priznaje da je jednako tako nekoliko puta primio „marketinške” poticaje za uvođenje novih odredišta, ali nikad popuste na pristojbe zračne luke ili troškove zemaljskih usluga, smatra da prednosti koje su dodijeljene društvu Ryanair u Charleroiu znatno nadilaze prakse koje su na snazi.
It considers, however, that it took just as significant commercial risks by setting itself up at Brussels airport at a time when competition from Sabena was very strong.
Ipak, smatra da je preuzeo veliki poslovni rizik kada je počeo poslovati u Zračnoj luci Bruxelles-National u vrijeme kada je prijevoznik Sabena bio iznimno konkurentan.
The fact that other airport managers grant advantages to Ryanair does not prove that Charleroi airport has acted as a private investor in a market economy.
Činjenica da određeni upravitelji zračnih luka dodjeljuju prednosti društvu Ryanair nije dovoljna za dokazivanje da se Zračna luka Charleroi ponijela kao privatni ulagač u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
The company refers to the Steinike & Weiling judgment [90].
Poduzetnik se poziva na presudu Steinike & Weiling [90].
Brussels International Airport Company, now Brussels Airport Company (hereinafter ‘BAC’)
Brussels International Airport Company, koji je postao Brussels Airport Company (dalje u tekstu: „BAC”)
According to BAC, BSCA has not behaved like a private investor given that the advantages granted differ in their extent from those granted by other airports [91].
BAC smatra da se BSCA nije ponio kao privatni ulagač jer se dodijeljene prednosti razlikuju po obujmu od onih koje su dodijelile druge zračne luke [91].
The fact that Ryanair receives advantages from other airports is not at all relevant, as those could also constitute State aid.
U svakom slučaju nije relevantna činjenica da Ryanair prima prednosti od drugih zračnih luka jer se te prednosti mogu sastojati od državnih potpora.
The interested party draws the Commission's attention to several factors that must be taken into account when analysing the potential profitability of BSCA and that appear to exclude medium-term profits:
Zainteresirana osoba skreće pozornost Komisije na više čimbenika koje je potrebno uzeti u obzir pri analizi potencijalnog povrata ulaganja BSCA-a, a iz kojih se čini da su isključene srednjoročne dobiti:
BSCA benefited from a recapitalisation by the Region, totalling EUR 4 million, in December 2002.
Valonska regija dokapitalizirala je BSCA u prosincu 2002. s 4 milijuna EUR.
BSCA benefited from ‘an exemption from half of its fee due to the Region for the period 2001-2006. This advantage totals EUR 1 million per year, which BSCA will, however, have to pay back from 2007 onwards’.
BSCA je „u razdoblju od 2001. do 2006. bio oslobođen plaćanja polovine iznosa naknade koju je dugovao Valonskoj regiji. Ta prednost obuhvaća 1 milijun EUR godišnje koju će BSCA ipak trebati vratiti od 2007.”,
The Commission should take account of the costs of the Charleroi airport expansion project, calculated at EUR 95 million, and the methods of financing.
Komisija bi trebala uzeti u obzir iznos troškova povezanih s radovima proširenja Zračne luke Charleroi, koji su procijenjeni na 95 milijuna EUR, i s uvjetima financiranja.
If this project is not paid for by BSCA, the conditions under which the Region places this infrastructure at the disposal of BSCA should be checked.
Ako te radove nije snosio BSCA, potrebno je provjeriti uvjete po kojima je Valonska regija stavila BSCA-u na raspolaganje tu infrastrukturu.
This interested party doubts that, given the current state of its infrastructure, the airport is in a position to cater for sufficient passengers to ensure the financial balance of BSCA.
Ta zainteresirana strana sumnja u to da bi Zračna luka s infrastrukturom u sadašnjem stanju mogla prihvatiti dovoljno putnika da osigura financijsku ravnotežu BSCA-a,
The Region provides BSCA, free of charge, with the equipment and staff needed for all the security operations at Charleroi airport, namely passenger and baggage screening prior to embarkation, although, ‘as a general rule, security costs are borne by the airport users, either through a security fee payable to the airport operator or through a tax where these services are provided by the public authorities’.
Valonska regija stavlja BSCA-u besplatno na raspolaganje opremu i osoblje potrebno za provedbu svih djelatnosti zaštite u Zračnoj luci Charleroi, odnosno kontrolu putnika i njihove prtljage prije ukrcavanja, iako „u pravilu, troškove zaštite snose korisnici zračne luke putem naknada za zaštitu koju plaćaju upravitelju zračne luke odnosno putem pristojbe u slučaju kada te usluge pružaju javne vlasti”.
Interested Party C
Zainteresirana strana C
(Comments received following the 2012 extension decision)
(primjedbe primljene nakon donošenja odluke o proširenju postupka iz 2012.)
Interested Party C believes that the advantages granted by the Region to BSCA and Ryanair harm competition and that Charleroi airport and Brussels airport operate in the same market.
Zainteresirana strana C smatra da je prednostima koje je Valonska regija dodijelila BSCA-u narušeno tržišno natjecanje te da Zračne luke Charleroi i Bruxelles-National posluju na istom tržištu.
Interested Party C criticises the relationship between the Region, BSCA and Ryanair and the resulting differences in charges levied on airlines at Brussels airport and Charleroi airport.
Zainteresirana strana C kritizira odnos između Valonske regije, BSCA-a i društva Ryanair te razlike koje iz njega proizlaze u pogledu naknada koje plaćaju zračni prijevoznici u Bruxellesu i Charleroiu.
Notably, (i) maintenance costs are not passed on to users but are compensated by the Region, (ii) landing fees favour Ryanair, […].
Konkretnije, i. naknade za održavanje ne snose korisnici, nego ih kompenzira Valonska regija, ii. naknade za slijetanje pogoduju društvu Ryanair, […].
Interested Party C further submits that Ryanair does not pay for services that are part of normal airport management, such as fire services, expansion and construction of infrastructure and passenger fees.
Zainteresirana strana C tvrdi i da Ryanair ne plaća za usluge uobičajenog upravljanja zračnom lukom, kao što su usluge protupožarne zaštite, proširenje i izgradnja infrastrukture te naknade po putniku.
According to Brussels Airlines, Ryanair has benefited from a selective advantage compared to other airlines.
Brussels Airlines smatra da je Ryanair primio selektivnu prednost u odnosu na druge zračne prijevoznike.
