Second, Airport Handling recruited its initial workforce entirely from SEAH, but under new contracts and new contractual conditions.
Drugo, početna radna snaga društva Airport Handling u cijelosti je zaposlena iz SEAH-a, ali na temelju novih ugovora i s novim ugovornim uvjetima.
There was no block transfer of employment contracts, no automatic transfer of such contracts and no replication of their employment conditions.
Nije bilo skupnog prijenosa ugovora o radu, automatskog prijenosa tih ugovora ni preslikavanja njihovih uvjeta zapošljavanja.
Third, whereas it is true that Airport Handling initially leased all of SEAH’s ground handling assets, finally, after the expiry of the lease, it took over only part of SEAH’s assets as it had in the meantime started purchasing equipment from third parties.
Treće, iako je točno da je Airport Handling na početku unajmio cjelokupnu opremu SEAH-a za pružanje zemaljskih usluga, na kraju je, nakon isteka najma, preuzeo samo dio SEAH-ove imovine jer je u međuvremenu počeo kupovati opremu od trećih strana.
Available information furthermore suggests that the assets represent only a minor share of the production assets in the ground handling business and are not decisive for Airport Handling’s cost structure and efficiency.
Nadalje, iz dostupnih informacija može se zaključiti da u pružanju zemaljskih usluga imovina čini samo manji dio proizvodne imovine i da nije odlučujuća za strukturu troškova i djelotvornost društva Airport Handling.
Overall, judging from the perspective of the scope of the transfer, the Commission considers that all circumstances attached to the setting up of Airport Handing in the wake of the liquidation of SEAH viewed together are not strong enough to indicate that there was economic continuity between both companies with a view to circumvent the recovery decision.
Općenito, gledajući sa stajališta opsega prijenosa, Komisija smatra da ukupne okolnosti povezane s osnivanjem društva Airport Handling neposredno prije likvidacije SEAH-a nisu dovoljan pokazatelj da je između tih društava postojao gospodarski kontinuitet u cilju izbjegavanja odluke o povratu.
Payment of the market price
Plaćanje tržišne cijene
According to case law, transfer of the assets at a price below market price would also be an indicator of economic continuity between the liquidated company owing the State aid debt and the newly created company.
Prema sudskoj praksi prijenos imovine po cijeni nižoj od tržišne isto bi tako bio pokazatelj gospodarskog kontinuiteta između društva u likvidaciji koje treba vratiti državnu potporu i novoosnovanog društva.
SEAH’s assets — general remarks
Imovina SEAH-a – opće napomene
In the context of bankruptcy proceedings, circumvention of a negative State aid Decision through a transfer of assets can occur in particular when:
U kontekstu stečajnog postupka do izbjegavanja negativne odluke o državnoj potpori prijenosom imovine može doći:
assets are sold — or leased — below the market price (for example following a sale procedure which is not sufficiently open, transparent and non-discriminatory), or
kad se imovina prodaje, ili iznajmljuje, po cijeni nižoj od tržišne (na primjer, nakon postupka prodaje koji nije dovoljno otvoren, transparentan i nediskriminirajući), ili
the bankruptcy administrator performed actions which defrauded the creditors and may have reduced the assets of the insolvent company, or it breached the principle of the equal ranking of creditors to the loss of the public creditors.(272) To the contrary, the Commission considers that a transfer — or lease — of assets from an insolvent company that received incompatible aid to a new company is not indicative of circumvention of a recovery decision if:
kad je stečajni upravitelj poduzeo aktivnosti koje su dovele do prijevare vjerovnika i mogućeg smanjenja imovine nesolventnog društva ili je prekršio načelo jednakog rangiranja vjerovnika na štetu javnih vjerovnika.(272) Suprotno tome, Komisija smatra da prijenos, ili najam, imovine s nesolventnog društva koje je primilo nespojivu potporu na novo društvo nije pokazatelj izbjegavanja odluke o povratu:
nothing was done to reduce the value of the assets of the insolvent company to the benefit of the new company, to the detriment of the creditors (since the purpose of liquidation is to maximise the proceeds from the sales of the assets to reimburse creditors to the maximum extent possible),
ako nije učinjeno ništa čime bi se smanjila vrijednost imovine nesolventnog društva u korist novog društva, na štetu vjerovnika (jer je svrha likvidacije maksimizirati prihode od prodaje imovine kako bi se u najvećoj mogućoj mjeri nadoknadila potraživanja vjerovnika),
the public creditors (holding the claim linked to the incompatible aid) have not been unduly disadvantaged compared to other creditors (including possibly the new company or its founders) in the context of the insolvency proceedings.
ako u kontekstu stečajnog postupka javni vjerovnici (koji imaju potraživanje povezano s nespojivom potporom) nisu bili u neopravdano nepovoljnom položaju u usporedbi s drugim vjerovnicima (što može uključivati novo društvo ili njegove osnivače).
In this case:
U ovom predmetu:
The lease fee was set based on two external valuations.
najamnina je određena na temelju dvaju vanjskih vrednovanja.
It was adjusted upwards corresponding to the second valuation, which was based on a comprehensive check of the leased equipment.
Prilagođena je prema gore u skladu s drugim vrednovanjem koje se temeljilo na sveobuhvatnoj provjeri iznajmljene opreme.
Hence, there is no indication that the price at which SEAH’s assets were leased by Airport Handling was at variance with normal market conditions.
Stoga ne postoje naznake da se cijena po kojoj je Airport Handling unajmio SEAH-ovu imovinu razlikovala od uobičajenih tržišnih uvjeta.
There is also no indication that the transactions performed on the initiative of the liquidator defrauded the creditors and may have reduced the value of the assets of SEAH.
Ne postoje ni naznake da je transakcija izvršena na inicijativu likvidatora dovela do prijevare vjerovnika i mogućeg smanjenja vrijednosti SEAH-ove imovine.
In particular, as shown in more detail below, all available information showed that proper tenders were organised for the sale of SEAH’s assets, giving all potentially interested buyers opportunity to bid.
Konkretno, kako je detaljnije prikazano u nastavku, iz svih dostupnih informacija vidljivo je da su radi prodaje SEAH-ove imovine organizirani odgovarajući natječaji, što je potencijalno zainteresiranim kupcima dalo priliku za podnošenje ponuda.
The facts that the lease price was determined by external experts and revised upwards after a second valuation, and that SEAH’s liquidator was not ready to grant Airport Handling a rebate on the purchase price of the equipment shows that the disposal process organised by the liquidator was geared towards revenue maximisation with respect to the assets in question, to the benefit of SEAH’s creditors, and thus did not lead to a particular transfer of economic advantage to Airport Handling.
Iz činjenice da su cijenu najma odredili vanjski stručnjaci i da je revidirana prema gore nakon drugog vrednovanja te da likvidator SEAH-a nije bio spreman društvu Airport Handling odobriti rabat na kupovnu cijenu opreme vidljivo je da je postupak raspolaganja imovinom koji je organizirao likvidator bio usmjeren na maksimiziranje prihoda od predmetne imovine, u korist vjerovnika SEAH-a, te da, stoga, nije doveo do konkretnog prijenosa gospodarske prednosti na Airport Handling.
The Commission also notes that none of the interested parties claimed that the liquidation proceedings have infringed the rights of the creditors or reduced the value of the assets owed by SEAH, or that such assets were leased to Airport Handling below market prices.
Komisija napominje i da nijedna zainteresirana strana nije tvrdila da su u postupku likvidacije povrijeđena prava vjerovnika, da je smanjena vrijednost imovine u vlasništvu SEAH-a ili da je ta imovina iznajmljena društvu Airport Handling po cijenama koje su niže od tržišnih.
SEAH’s ground handling equipment consisted of around 4000 assets.
SEAH-ova oprema za pružanje zemaljskih usluga sastojala se od 4000 stavki.
According to the plan initially announced by Italy, such assets were going to be leased by SEAH at market price pending their sale on the open market in the framework of the liquidation procedure.
U skladu s planom koji je Italija prvotno najavila tu je imovinu SEAH trebao iznajmiti po tržišnoj cijeni do njezine prodaje na otvorenom tržištu u okviru postupka likvidacije.
Lease of SEAH’s assets to Airport Handling — The setting of the lease fee
Najam SEAH-ove imovine društvu Airport Handling – određivanje najamnine
Following the failure of the bidding procedure, the ground handling equipment was leased to Airport Handling under a lease contract initially due to expire on 31 August 2015.
Nakon neuspješnog natječajnog postupka oprema za pružanje zemaljskih usluga iznajmljena je društvu Airport Handling na temelju ugovora o najmu koji je prvotno trebao isteći 31. kolovoza 2015.
According to case law, the mere fact that a company has leased for a certain period some or all of the assets of an insolvent company does not necessarily mean that the new company enjoyed the competitive advantage linked to an aid previously granted to the lessor.
Prema sudskoj praksi sama činjenica da je društvo u određenom razdoblju unajmilo cijelu imovinu ili njezin dio od nesolventnog društva ne znači nužno da je novo društvo ostvarilo konkurentsku prednost povezanu s potporom koja je prethodno odobrena najmodavcu.
Leasing of the assets by the recipient of the aid to a company performing a similar activity is not indicative of economic continuity if the lease price reflects the market price.
Činjenica da korisnik potpore imovinu iznajmljuje društvu koje obavlja sličnu djelatnost nije pokazatelj gospodarskog kontinuiteta ako se u cijeni najma odražava tržišna cijena.
However, if the lease price, paid by the new company to the beneficiary of the aid, was below market price, this could be an indication of economic continuity in that the advantage conferred on the beneficiary by the illegal and incompatible aid could be said to have been fully or partly transferred to the new company through a price below market value.
Međutim, ako je cijena najma koju je novo društvo platilo korisniku potpore bila niža od tržišne cijene, to bi mogla biti naznaka gospodarskog kontinuiteta jer bi se moglo reći da je prednost korisniku dodijeljena nezakonitom i nespojivom potporom u cijelosti ili djelomično prenesena na novo društvo u obliku cijene koja je niža od tržišne vrijednosti.
Available information suggests that SEAH and the Trustee negotiated the lease contract at arm’s length.
Na temelju dostupnih informacija može se zaključiti da su SEAH i upravitelj nepristrano pregovarali o ugovoru o najmu.
Moreover, the lease fee was determined by two subsequent external valuations.
Nadalje, najamnina je određena na temelju dvaju kasnijih vanjskih vrednovanja.
In order to confirm the soundness of the first valuation, which had set the annual lease fee at EUR […] [8] Business secret.
Kako bi potvrdili osnovanost prvog vrednovanja, u kojem je određena godišnja najamnina od […] [8] Poslovna tajna.
, SEAH and Airport Handling jointly entrusted E&Y with the task of reassessing the lease fee.
EUR, SEAH i Airport Handling zajednički su angažirali E&Y da ponovno procijeni najamninu.
That second valuation initially recommended a […] [8] Business secret.
U okviru tog drugog vrednovanja najprije je preporučena najamnina od […] [8] Poslovna tajna.

EUR. Zatim su, nakon što su se SEAH i Airport Handling dogovorili o proširenju tog drugog vrednovanja kako bi se uključile nove informacije prikupljene u izvješćima o isporuci opreme, stručnjaci utvrdili da niz strojeva i opreme nije prikladan za upotrebu te su revidirali svoju početnu procjenu […] [8] Poslovna tajna.
, to EUR […] [8] Business secret.

Based on that second evaluation report, SEAH and Airport Handling agreed to reduce the lease amount to EUR […] [8] Business secret.
EUR. Na temelju drugog izvješća o ocjeni SEAH i Airport Handling dogovorili su sniženje godišnjeg iznosa najma na […] [8] Poslovna tajna.
In conclusion, available information suggests that SEAH and Airport Handling negotiated at arm’s length, and relied on expert reports on the value of the assets in question.
Zaključno, na temelju dostupnih informacija može se zaključiti da su SEAH i Airport Handling nepristrano pregovarali i da su se oslanjali na izvješća stručnjaka o vrijednosti predmetne imovine.
The fact that the second valuation was revised upon mutual request of both parties indicates that both intended to keep the lease price as closely as possible in line with market conditions and to pre-empt any possible doubt of collusion.
Činjenicom da je drugo vrednovanje revidirano na zajednički zahtjev obiju strana upućuje se na to da su obje strane namjeravale cijenu najma u najvećoj mogućoj mjeri uskladiti s tržišnim uvjetima i unaprijed isključiti svaku moguću sumnju u dosluh.
The Commission therefore considers the agreed lease fee to be at least the market price.
Stoga Komisija smatra da je dogovorena najamnina najmanje jednaka tržišnoj cijeni.
Purchase of part of SEAH’s assets by Airport Handling — the purchase price
Kupnja dijela imovine SEAH-a koju je izvršio Airport Handling – kupovna cijena
Airport Handling purchased the assets after the failure of the bidding procedure and after the expiry of the leasing agreement.
Airport Handling kupio je imovinu nakon neuspješnog natječajnog postupka i nakon isteka ugovora o najmu.
The Commission assessed whether Airport Handling through that transaction received any advantage originating from previous unlawful aid granted to SEAH.
Komisija je ocijenila je li Airport Handling tom transakcijom ostvario prednost koja proizlazi iz prethodne nezakonite potpore dodijeljene SEAH-u.
That assessment starts on the premise that an advantage is excluded if the purchase price of EUR […] [8] Business secret.
Ta ocjena započinje pretpostavkom da je prednost isključena ako kupovna cijena od […] [8] Poslovna tajna.
corresponds to at least the market price.
EUR odgovara barem tržišnoj cijeni.
The call for expression of interest for SEAH assets was published on 12 November 2014 in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union.
Poziv za iskaz interesa za imovinu SEAH-a objavljen je 12. studenoga 2014. u Dodatku Službenom listu Europske unije.
In view of the large number of items, the liquidator, with the assistance of independent consulting company IMQ, decided to divide the items into nine lots.
S obzirom na velik broj stavki likvidator je, uz pomoć neovisnog konzultantskog društva IMQ, odlučio te stavke podijeliti u devet lotova.
According to SEAH, the reason was to avoid inefficiency due to excessive fragmentation.
Prema mišljenju SEAH-a to je učinjeno kako bi se izbjegla nedjelotvornost zbog pretjerane fragmentacije.
With a view to attracting as many bidders as possible, each lot was defined as a stand-alone combination of assets, including items which are complementary and of different values.
Kako bi se privuklo što više ponuditelja, svaki je lot definiran kao samostalna kombinacija imovine, uključujući stavke koje su komplementarne i različitih vrijednosti.
An external expert had set a minimum price for each of the lots.
Vanjski stručnjak odredio je minimalnu cijenu za svaki lot.
The sale procedure was restricted to handlers, airport operators, air carriers, manufacturers of the types of equipment sold, resellers and leasing companies fulfilling certain minimum-solvency criteria.
Postupak prodaje bio je ograničen na pružatelje zemaljskih usluga, upravitelje zračnih luka, zračne prijevoznike, proizvođače vrste opreme koja se prodavala, preprodavače i društva za leasing koji ispunjuju određene kriterije u pogledu minimalnog solventnog kapitala.
According to Italy, no formal expression of interest was received in the tender.
Italija je navela da tijekom natječaja nije zaprimljen nijedan službeni iskaz interesa.
SEAH only received informal communications from third parties aiming to explore the possibility of acquiring only certain assets however at lower prices than the ones indicated in the tender.
SEAH je zaprimio samo neslužbene upite trećih strana koje su namjeravale ispitati mogućnost stjecanja samo određene imovine, no po nižim cijenama od onih koje su navedene u natječaju.
Those communications were provided to the Commission in the investigation.
Ti su upiti dostavljeni Komisiji tijekom istražnog postupka.
Italy submitted that following the negative outcome of the tender, SEAH’s liquidator tried to raise the interest of potential purchasers of SEAH’s assets, by contacting certain operators active in the handling services sector, as well as those operators that had informally expressed their interest during the tender procedure, and by allowing access to the data room as well as to assets, so as to enable any interested operator to inspect the assets on site.
Italija je navela da je nakon negativnog ishoda natječaja likvidator SEAH-a pokušao potaknuti interes potencijalnih kupaca SEAH-ove imovine kontaktiranjem s određenim subjektima koji posluju u sektoru zemaljskih usluga i subjektima koji su neslužbeno iskazali interes tijekom natječajnog postupka te dopuštanjem pristupa sobi s podatcima kako bi se svim zainteresiranim subjektima omogućio pregled imovine na licu mjesta.
Some notices of interest to purchase SEAH’s equipment were received as a result, however still at prices lower than those indicated in the tender.
Kao rezultat toga, zaprimljene su neke obavijesti o interesu za kupnju SEAH-ove opreme, ali još uvijek po cijenama nižima od cijena navedenih u natječaju.
In the end, the only credible purchaser interested in the purchase of SEAH’s equipment was Airport Handling.
Na kraju je jedini vjerodostojni zainteresirani kupac SEAH-ove opreme bio Airport Handling.
The Commission assessed whether the bidding procedure in question effectively addressed the market, so that its failure can be seen as an indication that the market was not interested in purchasing SEAH’s assets.
Komisija je ocijenila je li u predmetnom natječajnom postupku tržište stvarno uzeto u obzir tako da se neuspjeh postupka može smatrati naznakom da tržište nije zainteresirano za kupnju SEAH-ove imovine.
The Commission assumes a bidding procedure to be effectively open to the market and geared towards revenue maximisation if the procedure is open, transparent, non-discriminatory and non-conditional.
Komisija smatra da je natječajni postupak stvarno otvoren tržištu i usmjeren na maksimiziranje prihoda ako je postupak otvoren, transparentan, nediskriminirajući i bezuvjetan.
As to the openness of the procedure in question, the Commission notes that the sale was published in the Supplement to the Official Journal of the EU and thus was given adequately wide publicity.
U pogledu otvorenosti predmetnog postupka Komisija napominje da je prodaja objavljena u Dodatku Službenom listu EU-a i da je on, stoga, bio dostupan široj javnosti.
The procedure was however restricted to certain types of buyers, namely handlers, airport operators, air carriers, producers, resellers and leasing companies meeting certain minimum-solvency criteria (recital 193 above).
Međutim, postupak je bio ograničen na određene vrste kupaca, točnije pružatelje zemaljskih usluga, upravitelje zračnih luka, zračne prijevoznike, proizvođače, preprodavače i društva za leasing koji ispunjuju određene kriterije u pogledu minimalnog solventnog kapitala (prethodna uvodna izjava 193.).
Further, the Italian authorities have not brought forward valid reasons for a priori restricting the range of potential buyers.
Nadalje, talijanska tijela nisu iznijela valjane razloge za ograničavanje raspona potencijalnih kupaca a priori.
Therefore, the bidding procedure was not fully open, as eligibility criteria may have limited the bidding procedure such that the public owner could not be sure of receiving the economically most favourable offer.
Stoga natječajni postupak nije bio u potpunosti otvoren jer se kriterijima prihvatljivosti možda ograničio natječajni postupak tako da javni vlasnik nije mogao biti siguran da je primio ekonomski najpovoljniju ponudu.
In practice however, the Commission takes the view that there are no indications suggesting that, had the tender not be limited to ground handling operators or related businesses, the tender would have been successful.
Međutim, u praksi Komisija zauzima stajalište da ne postoje naznake da bi natječaj bio uspješan da nije bio ograničen na pružatelje zemaljskih usluga ili slične subjekte.
This is corroborated by the fact that the attempts to attract bidders informally outside the scope of the tender procedure also failed to produce bids reaching the requested prices.
To je potkrijepljeno činjenicom da se ni neslužbenim pokušajima privlačenja ponuditelja izvan opsega natječajnog postupka nisu uspjele dobiti ponude s traženim cijenama.
SEAH’s liquidator received a number of expressions of interest to purchase SEAH’s equipment at prices lower than those indicated in the bidder procedure.
Likvidator SEAH-a zaprimio je niz iskaza interesa za kupnju SEAH-ove imovine po cijenama koje su bile niže od cijena navedenih u natječajnom postupku.
This is sufficient indication that market operators outside the restricted field of initially eligible bidders were not ready to pay the price asked for by SEAH.
To je dostatan pokazatelj da sudionici na tržištu izvan ograničenog kruga prvotno prihvatljivih ponuditelja nisu bili spremni platiti cijenu koju je tražio SEAH.
The above described outcome of both the sales procedure and the negotiations between SEAH as seller and Airport Handling as buyer indicate that the initial asking price was above the price that market operators were ready to pay.
Prethodno opisanim ishodom postupka prodaje i pregovora između SEAH-a kao prodavatelja i društva Airport Handling kao kupca upućuje se na to da je početna tražena cijena bila viša od cijene koju su sudionici na tržištu bili spremni platiti.
In particular, SEAH’s liquidator as seller negotiated at arm’s length, in order to obtain the maximum economic benefit from the sale of the assets concerned.
Konkretno, likvidator SEAH-a kao prodavatelj pregovarao je nepristrano kako bi dobio najveću moguću ekonomsku korist od prodaje predmetne imovine.
Documentation provided by the Italian authorities shows that the offer made by Airport Handling was indeed the economically most advantageous offer SEAH had received.
Iz dokumentacije koju su dostavila talijanska tijela vidljivo je da je ponuda društva Airport Handling doista bila ekonomski najpovoljnija ponuda koju je zaprimio SEAH.
Airport Handling, in turn, had economic reasons to acquire the assets despite SEAH’s refusal to grant a discount or more favourable payment terms.
S druge strane, Airport Handling imao je ekonomske razloge za stjecanje imovine iako mu je SEAH odbio odobriti popust ili povoljnije uvjete plaćanja.
The purchase price can be considered to be at least the market price.
Kupovna cijena može se smatrati najmanje tržišnom cijenom.
Hence, there is no indication that Airport Handling through the purchase of part of SEAH’s assets received any advantage that would stem from previous unlawful aid to SEAH.
Stoga ne postoje naznake da je kupnjom dijela SEAH-ove imovine Airport Handling stekao prednost koja bi proizlazila iz prethodne nezakonite potpore odobrene SEAH-u.
Conclusion on the Market Price as potential indicator of economic continuity
Zaključak o tržišnoj cijeni kao mogućem pokazatelju gospodarskog kontinuiteta
