The insurance policy covered all airports managed by Infratil.
Njemačka smatra da je FLG prije, tijekom i poslije sklapanja Ugovora iz 2000. djelovao autonomno i bez utjecaja države.
The share of costs attributable to FLG amounted to EUR […].
Osim toga, Njemačka je navela da FLG nije bio integriran u strukture javne uprave.
The difference between the put option price paid in accordance with the 2009 Additional Agreement and the put option price that Hansestadt Lübeck would have had to pay under the 2005 Participation Agreement thus amounts to EUR […].
Konačno, Njemačka je navela da je nadzor javnih tijela nad upravljanjem FLG-om ograničen na zračni prijevoz i pitanja u javnoj nadležnosti te ne uključuje djelatnosti upravljanja poslovanjem.
In return, Infratil waived its right to exercise its put option before 22 October 2009 and granted Hansestadt Lübeck further participation rights.
Nadalje, Njemačka je tvrdila da Hansestadt Lübeck i, konkretno, nadzorni odbor FLG-a nisu bili uključeni u odluku o Ugovoru iz 2000., kako je potvrđeno zapisnikom sa sastanka nadzornog odbora od 11. srpnja 2000. i pisanom potvrdom prethodnog glavnog izvršnog direktora FLG-a.
In addition, Infratil provided Hansestadt Lübeck with a written Letter of Intent between FLG and Ryanair, in which both parties confirmed their intention to increase passenger numbers and to cooperate with regard to the establishment of a Ryanair base at Lübeck airport.
Osim toga, Njemačka je navela da se Ugovorom iz 2000. ne narušava niti prijeti da će se narušiti tržišno natjecanje te da on ne utječe na trgovinu među državama članicama jer između zračne luke Lübeck i drugih zračnih luka ne postoji stvarni konkurentski odnos.
POTENTIAL STATE AID IN FAVOUR OF RYANAIR
Njemačka je u svojem podnesku navela da je Prvo popratno pismo u skladu s tržišnim uvjetima i da njime nije nastala prednost za Ryanair.
2000 Agreement
Njemačka je, upućujući na predmet Helaba I [29], tvrdila da ne postoji prednost ako drugi upravitelji regionalnih zračnih luka nude slične uvjete društvu Ryanair.
Until 2000, FLG was an airport depending on aviation revenues generated by charter flights and general aviation.
Njemačka je, nadalje, tvrdila da je to dokazano analizom usporedivih subjekata koju je proveo Ryanair.
FLG signed an Air Services Agreement with Ryanair on 29 May 2000 (‘the 2000 Agreement’).
Prvo, potreban je manji broj šaltera za prijavu putnika jer se za letove zračnog prijevoznika Ryanair može prijaviti internetom i putnici nose manje prtljage.
The 2000 Agreement with Ryanair included a specification of the airport charges to be paid by Ryanair, as well as the marketing support incentives to be paid by the airport.
Drugo, nema autobusâ za putnike.
The 2000 Agreement was scheduled to start on 1 June 2000 and to continue until 31 May 2010.
Treće, budući da su udaljenosti u zračnoj luci Lübeck koje je potrebno prijeći pješice kraće, kraće je i vrijeme koje zrakoplovi prijevoznika Ryanair provode na tlu.
For the route to Stansted, the airport had assessed costs and revenues as follows:
Četvrto, budući da nema transfernih letova, nisu potrebni objekti za transfer.
Table 4
Konačno, budući da letačko osoblje često na sebe preuzima čišćenje unutar zrakoplova, manja je potražnja za uslugama čišćenja na tlu.
Costs and revenues involved in the 2000 Agreement from FLG's perspective
Njemačka je tvrdila da nema pripisivosti državi navodeći iste argumente kao za Ugovor iz 2000.
Elements of the agreement with Ryanair
Njemačka je istaknula da se Drugim popratnim pismom produljio Ugovor iz 2000. i da se njime taj ugovor nije znatno mijenjao.
< 18 turnarounds per week
Budući da je Ugovor iz 2000. u skladu sa zahtjevima tržišta, takvo bi bilo i Drugo popratno pismo.
≥ 18 turnarounds per week
Konačno, Njemačka je navela da nema negativnog utjecaja na tržišno natjecanje ili trgovinu jer je zračna luka Lübeck mala regionalna zračna luka koja nije u tržišnom natjecanju sa zračnom lukom Hamburg.
FLG costs in EUR
Njemačka je navela da se o naknadama za odleđivanje ne pregovara na pojedinačnoj razini, nego se one temelje na sustavu naknada za posebne usluge primjenjivom na sve zračne prijevoznike.
Marketing support – costs per arriving passenger
Njemačka je, nadalje, navela da nije bilo državne potpore jer nisu postojali osnovni elementi za postojanje takve potpore.
Until 31 May 2005
Prvo, naknade nisu bile selektivne.
From 1 June 2005
Drugo, naknade nisu bile pripisive državi, što je potvrđeno činjenicom da su Infratil i Yasmina, dva privatna ulagatelja, bili odgovorni za određivanje tih naknada tijekom znatnog vremena u kojem su upravljali zračnom lukom.
FLG Income in EUR
Treće, nije bilo prednosti.
Ryanair payable fees per plane
Privatni ulagatelji Infratil i Yasmina odlučili su da neće promijeniti sustav naknada za posebne usluge, što upućuje na to da su naknade za odleđivanje bile u skladu sa zahtjevima tržišta.

PRIMJEDBE TREĆIH STRANA

U pogledu moguće državne potpore u korist FLG-a većina strana koje su podnijele primjedbe slagala se s Njemačkom.

To su, konkretno, bili Ryanair, FLG, IHK, Lübeck i ADV.

Treće strane koje se nisu slagale bili su SGF, BDF i dva pojedinca, Peter C. Klanowski i Horst Conrad.

Te su strane tvrdile da je FLG primio državnu potporu od grada Hansestadt Lübeck:
Security fee (paid by Ryanair to appropriate government body) in EUR
ugovor o prijenosu gubitaka: SGF je naveo da se obveza pružanja javne usluge u pogledu upravljanja zračnom lukom određuje samo za opći zračni prijevoz i ne uključuje komercijalni zračni prijevoz.
2010 Agreements
Suprotno navodima Njemačke, SGF je smatrao da se zračne luke u Njemačkoj mogu zatvoriti na zahtjev upravitelja zračne luke.
On 29 March 2010, Ryanair and Lübeck airport signed Side Letter No 1 to the 2000 Agreement covering the period from 28 March 2010 to 30 October 2010.
SGF je dalje naveo da su zakupnina koju je FLG plaćao do 2006. i zakupnina koju je plaćao nakon toga premale,
This side letter prolonged the 2000 Agreement until 30 October 2010 and introduced a new per-passenger incentive payment of EUR […] to be paid by FLG to Ryanair, in addition to the payment for marketing services specified in the 2000 Agreement of EUR […] per passenger (below 18 rotations per week) or EUR […] per passenger (above 18 rotations per week).
ugovor o zakupu i preuzimanje zajmova: BDF navodi da činjenica da Njemačka nije dostavila dostatne informacije Komisiji upućuje na postojanje potpore,
Since more than 18 rotations per week were flown by Ryanair, a total of EUR […] per passenger was to be paid by FLG to Ryanair.
potencijalna potpora za ulaganje pružena FLG-u Odlukom o regionalnim zračnim lukama iz 2005. i njezina navodna povreda: SGF se ne slaže s izjavama iz odluke o pokretanju postupka te navodi da je potpora prerano dodijeljena zračnoj luci jer još nije bila donesena odluka o odobrenju planova.
As all other conditions from the 2000 Agreement were maintained, passenger service fees per departing payments to be paid to FLG amounted to EUR […], ramp handling charges per turnaround amounted to EUR […], handling charges per passenger were EUR […] and security charges per passenger were EUR […].
Prema navodima SGF-a time je nastala vremenska prednost za zračnu luku Lübeck u odnosu na druge zračne luke i postojala je prijetnja da će se narušiti tržišno natjecanje.
In October 2010, a Side Letter No 2 was signed, which did not maintain the conditions of the March 2010 Side letter, but returned to the schedule of marketing payments as stated in the original 2000 Agreement.
S obzirom na moguću potporu za infrastrukturne mjere SGF i Klanowski smatraju da se neke od mjera (i to financiranje sigurnosnih ograda, osvjetljenja i sustava za instrumentalno slijetanje) moraju smatrati operativnom potporom.
The October 2010 Side letter extended the terms of the 2000 Agreement for 3 years until 1 November 2013.
Osim toga, SGF je naveo da te mjere ne ispunjuju kriterije u pogledu računovodstva i financijskog izvješćivanja, kako ih je Sud utvrdio u odluci Altmark [30].
On the day that Side letter No 1 was entered into, namely on 29 March 2010, FLG also signed a Marketing Services Agreement with Airport Marketing Services Limited (‘AMS’), a fully-owned subsidiary of Ryanair.
Nadalje, SGF smatra da se mjerama ne slijedi jasno utvrđen cilj od općeg interesa.
That marketing services agreement also covered the period from 29 March 2010 to 30 October 2010 and set out the advertising services to be provided by AMS on the website www.ryanair.com, in return for a sum of EUR […] to be paid by FLG.
Osim toga, ne postoje zadovoljavajući srednjoročni izgledi za upotrebu infrastrukture.
CHARGES FOR THE DE-ICING OF AIRCRAFTS AT THE AIRPORT
Naposljetku, SGF je naveo da čak ni u okviru novog cjenika naknada nema jednakog i nediskriminarujućeg pristupa novoj infrastrukturi jer samo Ryanair može ispuniti kriterije potrebne za ostvarivanje koristi od najnižih naknada, Financiranje ulaganja u infrastrukturu koja su proveli Hansestadt Lübeck i savezna pokrajina Schleswig-Holstein: SGF je dalje tvrdio da su buduća ulaganja izračunana na temelju netočnih pretpostavki te su stoga bila prekomjerna.
The de-icing charges are laid down in a scheme of special charges, applicable to all airlines using the airport.
SGF navodi da zračna luka, osim što nije uspjela ostvariti veći broj putnika, nije mogla ni ograničiti svoje gubitke.
The scheme of special charges is a document separate from the general schedule of charges applicable at the airport.
Upućujući na sjevernonjemački koncept zračnog prometa (njem.
It is updated every few years.
Norddeutsches Luftverkehrskonzept) SGF navodi da sve veće zračne luke u sjevernoj Njemačkoj (uključujući Hamburg) na raspolaganju imaju obilne kapacitete.
The scheme of special charges distinguishes several categories, namely de-icing for aircrafts up to 10 t maximum take-off weight, de-icing for aircrafts from 10 t maximum take-off weight, de-icing liquid and hot water and lays down a price for each of these categories.
SGF smatra da je bilo u gospodarskom interesu FLG-a da ulaže u taj sustav kako bi mogao ostvariti svoje srednjoročne gospodarske ciljeve,
GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE
SGF navodi da je subordinacija zajmova članova društva iznosila […] EUR.
In its 2007 and 2012 Opening decisions, the Commission initiated investigations concerning possible State aid in favour of FLG, Infratil and Ryanair, Wizz Air and other charter airlines serving Globalis Reisen.
Infratil je naveo da su udjeli u FLG-u kupljeni u skladu s otvorenim, transparentnim i nediskriminirajućim natječajnim postupkom na razini cijele Unije.
The Commission had doubts concerning the loss transfer agreement of 19 October 1978 (‘loss transfer agreement’), according to which Hansestadt Lübeck covered the operating losses of FLG in the period 1978 to 2004, the lease agreement for land and airport infrastructure and the takeover of outstanding liabilities.
Osim toga, kupoprodajna cijena jednaka je tržišnoj vrijednosti od 90 % udjela u FLG-u u danim okolnostima.
Furthermore, the Commission had doubts on the possible investment aid by means of the 2005 Regional Airports decision and its alleged violation, the compensation of losses since November 2009, the financing of infrastructure investments by Hansestadt Lübeck and the Land Schleswig-Holstein and the subordination of shareholder loans of Hansestadt Lübeck to FLG.
Stoga Ugovor o sudjelovanju iz 2005. nije sadržavao nikakve elemente državne potpore.
In relation to those measures, the Commission expressed doubts whether, under normal market conditions, a market economy operator would also have provided similar advantages to FLG.
Infratil je dodao da je dao najbolju ponudu, na što ne utječe činjenica da su Hansestadt Lübeck i Infratil ušli u drugi krug pregovora kako bi izmijenili uvjete prvog ugovora.
When 90 % of the shares in FLG were sold to Infratil, the Commission had doubts regarding the compatibility of the privatisation process with State aid rules.
Ryanair navodi da je privatizacija ostvarena otvorenim, transparentnim i nediskriminirajućim natječajnim postupkom, što je dokazano stručnim izvješćem društva Ernst & Young.
In addition, the Commission suspected possible State aid when the terms of the put option were renegotiated in 2008/2009.
U tom pogledu Ryanair je istaknuo ugled i neovisnost tog društva.
With regard to the 2000 Agreement with Ryanair and the March and October 2010 Side letters, the Commission had doubts whether they conferred a selective advantage to Ryanair and therefore constituted State aid.
Ryanair smatra da zatvaranje zračne luke ne bi bilo moguće zbog gospodarskih i političkih razloga.
The Commission had doubts whether the charges for de-icing, charged since November 2009, involved State aid, since there were indications that the prices charged for de-icing were lower than the costs incurred by the airport.
S obzirom na moguću državnu potporu povezanu s privatizacijom FLG-a, SGF je izrazio ozbiljnu sumnju u spojivost kupoprodajne cijene s tržišnim standardom.
COMMENTS FROM GERMANY
Osim toga, tvrdi da je ugovor sadržavao jamstva grada Hansestadt Lübeck, što je isto tako relevantno za državnu potporu.
Germany pointed out that FLG does not exist anymore.
Infratil je objasnio da se Dodatni ugovor iz 2009. mora promatrati u kontekstu Ugovora o sudjelovanju iz 2005. i uvjeta da se dobije odobrenje planova.
During the course of the privatisation of Lübeck airport, FLG merged into Hansestadt Lübeck.
Budući da odobrenja planova naposljetku nije dobiveno zbog presude OVG-a, Infratil je najavio da će 2008. iskoristiti svoju opciju prodaje.
Thereby, Hansestadt Lübeck became the universal successor of FLG and all claims between FLG and Hansestadt Lübeck disappeared.
Jedina mogućnost koju je Hansestadt Lübeck imao kako bi spriječio Infratil u toj namjeri bio je Dodatni ugovor iz 2009.
Therefore, Germany states that all questions of State aid between Hansestadt Lübeck and FLG became without object.
Infratil je naveo da je mogućnost koju je odabrao Hansestadt Lübeck bila u skladu sa zahtjevima tržišta.
In addition, Germany commented on the specific measures, stating that all measures were in accordance with State aid rules, since they either constitute existing aid or comply with the MEO principle.
Da je Infratil iskoristio opciju prodaje, HL bi morao snositi sve troškove i gubitke koji bi proizašli iz rada zračne luke Lübeck od 31. prosinca 2008.
Loss transfer agreement: According to Germany, since the loss transfer agreement was concluded 1978 and ended on 31 December 2004, it cannot be included in the investigations.
Preprodaja zračne luke privatnom ulagatelju ne bi bila moguća u kratkom roku, a zatvaranje zračne luke nije dolazilo u obzir za Hansestadt Lübeck zbog obveze na temelju javnog prava i financijskih razloga.
If it were to be categorised as State aid, it would merely constitute existing aid.
Osim toga, odlazak društva Infratil vjerojatno bi za posljedicu imao da Ryanair umanji opseg svojih usluga u zračnoj luci Lübeck ili ih prestane pružati.
Germany also argued that the loss transfer agreement constituted a general economic policy measure, which cannot be considered State aid.
Stoga je Infratil naveo da bi operativni gubitci FLG-a bili veći da je Infratil iskoristio svoju opciju prodaje.
According to Germany, the loss transfer agreement also passes the MEO test as the relevant measures were intended to attract airlines to the airport and to raise passenger numbers.
Infratil je naveo da se razlika između cijene opcije prodaje plaćene u skladu s Dodatnim ugovorom iz 2009. i cijene opcije prodaje koju bi trebalo platiti u siječnju 2009. temeljila na uslugama koje su stranke ugovorile.
Lease agreement and takeover of loans: According to Germany, any aid in relation to those measures would be existing aid.
Hansestadt Lübeck bi u svakom slučaju morao pokriti sve osim dvaju dodatnih iznosa nakon deprivatizacije, što dovodi do zaključka da je Dodatni ugovor iz 2009. bio najekonomičnija (njem. wirtschaftlich) odluka.
In addition, Germany stated that the rent was in accordance with market standards, as proven by an independent study by Ernst & Young commissioned by Hansestadt Lübeck prior to the sale of FLG to Infratil and which was provided by Germany to the Commission.
Infratil je dalje tvrdio da dodatni iznosi nisu činili prednost za Infratil.
With respect to the takeover of loans, Germany stated that all debt guarantees were solely provided within the framework of the pre-financing of investments in infrastructure measures, which were in any event financed afterwards through payments under the loss transfer agreement.
Prvo, Infratil ne bi morao pokriti dodatne gubitke iz 2009. da je iskoristio svoju opciju prodaje.
Investment aid to FLG by means of the 2005 Regional Airports Decision and its alleged violation: Germany stated that all concerned measures were never implemented or fell within the public remit sphere.
Nadalje, za Infratil nije nastala nikakva prednost jer se nije očekivalo da zračna luka Lübeck kratkoročno ostvari dobit, nego da nastavi ostvarivati gubitke.
Compensation for FLG losses since November 2009: Germany stated that the financing of FLG by Hansestadt Lübeck since 2009 was in accordance with Union State aid rules, since FLG did not exercise an economic activity, as its activities concerned services within the public remit or services of general economic interest.
Infratil je tvrdio da iskorištavanje opcije prodaje nije omogućivalo društvu Infratil da situaciju u potpunosti vrati u stanje ex quo ante jer je Infratil morao snositi određene gubitke (razlika između odobrenih operativnih gubitaka i stvarnih operativnih gubitaka) bez naknade.
Financing of infrastructure investments by Hansestadt Lübeck and the Land Schleswig Holstein: Germany argued that the financing of infrastructure investments concern services of public interest or services of public remit and are thereby in accordance with State aid rules, as provided in the 1994 Aviation guidelines [26] (as is the case with regard to the compensation of losses since 2009).Subordination of shareholder loans of Hansestadt Lübeck to FLG: Germany stated that the subordination agreement of Hansestadt Lübeck in favour of FLG was common market practice and did not give FLG any advantage.
Čak i da Komisija utvrdi da su ponovni pregovori o opciji prodaje činili državnu potporu, Infratil smatra da bi ta potpora bila spojiva s unutarnjim tržištem.
Germany argued that the agreed purchase price was in accordance with market standards.
Da Komisija utvrdi da je Hansestadt Lübeck dodijelio potporu društvu Infratil preuzimanjem gubitaka koji su 2009. nastali za FLG, Infratil smatra da bi takva potpora samo činila naknadu za gubitke nastale tijekom pružanja usluga od općeg gospodarskog interesa.
Germany further stated that the bidding procedure for the acquisition of 90 % of the shares of FLG was open, transparent, non-discriminatory and unconditional.
Hansestadt Lübeck tvrdio je da je ugovor o preuzimanju gubitaka bio najpovoljnija opcija koja je uključivala najmanje rizika.
Germany stated that a renegotiation of the agreement, which was due to the decision of OVG Schleswig from 18 July 2005 [27], did not change the outcome of the bidding procedure, which was that the bid of Infratil was the only and highest bid.
To se posebno opravdava zakonskom obvezom grada Hansestadt Lübeck da upravlja zračnom lukom na temelju članka 45. stavka 1. njemačkog Pravilnika o dozvolama u zračnom prometu (njem.
Germany stated that there was no reason for a new call for interest, as the decision of OVG Schleswig changed the value of the airport, but not the actual subject of the bidding procedure.
Stoga zatvaranje zračne luke nije dolazilo u obzir.
These arguments were supported by reference to German public procurement law.
Usto, Hansestadt Lübeck podsjetio je Komisiju da ni on ni Infratil nisu imali prethodnog iskustva s privatizacijom zračne luke.
Moreover, Germany stated that the expert report by Ernst & Young concluded that the conditions of the privatisation reflected the current market value of FLG and by far exceeded the economic results of a potential liquidation.
To može dovesti do određenih pogrešnih izračuna, ali sigurno ne može dovesti do zaključka da bilo koja od stranaka nije djelovala u skladu s tržišnim načelima.
Germany stated that the agreement between Infratil and Hansestadt Lübeck has to be assessed in the context of the legal and economic situation of Lübeck airport in 2009.
Nadalje, Hansestadt Lübeck tvrdio je da je Infratil bio jedini ponuditelj u kontekstu privatizacije, čime se pregovaračka moć grada Hansestadt Lübeck svela na najmanju moguću mjeru.
This includes the pending planning approval, the pending court cases involving the airport and the economic and financial crisis.
SGF je u svojem podnesku naveo da Dodatni ugovor iz 2009. čini novu potporu koja dovodi do prednosti za Infratil.
Germany contested the allegation that there was an advantage for Infratil, since the price for the put option had already been negotiated in the context of the initial agreement with Infratil in 2005 by way of a public, transparent and non-discriminatory tender procedure.
Budući da potpora premašuje prag de minimis, trebalo ju je prijaviti, što Njemačka nije učinila.
Germany argued that the moderate increase in the price in 2009 as compared to the amount agreed in 2005 should be seen as proportionate to the counter-performances by Infratil.
U tom kontekstu SGF je naveo da zračna luka Lübeck nije imala izglede za profitabilnost.
Germany stated that the takeover of losses was economically more advantageous than the consequences from Infratil's exercise of its put option.
SGF je dodao da je FLG početkom 2008. mogao spriječiti nesolventnost samo zbog ustupaka koje je učinio Infratil.
Firstly, Germany stressed that to close the airport was not an option, as the full-time operation of the airport was a public service obligation.
SGF se nije složio s tim da su ispunjeni uvjeti subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu jer nijedan privatni ulagatelj ne bi pristao na nastavak rada uz takve gubitke, što dokazuje činjenica da je Infratil iskoristio opciju prodaje.
Secondly, it would not have been possible to find a new private investor within a reasonable time, as a Union wide public procurement procedure would have been necessary.
U pogledu zatvaranja zračne luke SGF je tvrdio da je zračna luka Hamburg opremljena dovoljnim kapacitetima i da joj za rad nije potrebna zračna luka Lübeck kao pomoćna zračna luka.
Such a procedure consumes time (approximately 12 months) and resources.
Osim toga, SGF smatra da je FLG precijenio troškove zatvaranja.
According to Germany, there was no economic advantage for Ryanair.
SGF tablicu 5. smatra realističnijom, iako su i iznosi u njoj možda precijenjeni:
Germany stated that a private operator comparable to FLG would have accepted the agreement with Ryanair under similar conditions.
Tablica 5.
When concluding the 2000 Agreement, FLG was pursuing the strategy to get profitable in the long term.
Troškovi zatvaranja zračne luke Lübeck koje je dostavio Schutzgemeinschaft
In that context, Germany argued that the business strategy of airports was usually based on aeronautic activities as well as non-aeronautic activities, including the operation of shops, restaurants and parking areas.
Troškovi
Therefore, in Germany's view, it is profitable to offer low aviation fees to all airlines in order to raise passenger numbers and to achieve significant growth in the non-aeronautic sector, which can compensate for reduced incomes in the aeronautic sector.

Germany further stated that there were several advantages in recruiting airlines that provide scheduled services.
Troškovi likvidatora
In particular, Germany argued that the airport could expect that the respective airlines would not enter into an agreement with competing airports in the future.

In addition, the airport was expected to attract other airlines.
