all increases in the level of passenger service charge at Aarhus airport over DKK […] and over DKK […].
Drugo, Zračna luka Aarhus radila je na samo 40 % svojih kapaciteta i već je patila od smanjenja broja prevezenih putnika s otprilike 860000 putnika 1996. na otprilike 596000 putnika 1999., uz očekivano daljnje smanjenje u narednim godinama.
Denmark explains further that, according to the marketing agreement, the reduction of landing/take-off/night fee charges was deemed to be marketing support.
Treće, vojna aktivnost zračne luke Tirstrup Air Base ugašena je, što je značilo da su godišnji neto troškovi Aarhusa u pogledu kontrole zračnog prometa, vatrogasne i spasilačke službe, tehničkih usluga i zemaljskih usluga porasli za 10 do 12 milijuna DKK.
Denmark states that Aarhus airport did not know the purpose of the marketing support paid but assumed that it was to share the costs for the Aarhus/London-Stansted route.
Četvrto, 2004. se trebala otvoriti nova autocesta (naime, autocesta Djursland) kao brža i lakša transportna veza s Tirstrupom.
Application of the Market Economy Operator Principle and selectivity
Danska nadalje objašnjava da je most Great Belt Bridge bio otvoren (omogućujući putnicima vožnju od Aarhusa do Kopenhagena), a SAS-ova ruta za London bila je zatvorena.
Regarding the application of the Market Economy Operator Principle (‘MEOP’), Denmark is of the opinion that the Commission should compare the behaviour of Arhus airport with the supposed conduct of a private operator guided by prospects of long-term profitability and pursuing a sectoral policy.
Danska ističe da je otvaranjem mosta Great Belt Bridge vrijeme potrebno za putovanja između Aarhusa i Copenhagena alternativnim prijevoznim sredstvima (automobil/vlak/brzi trajekt) skraćeno s otprilike pet sati na približno tri sata.
Denmark states that the profitability of the 1999 agreements with Ryanair needs to be assessed for the entire expected duration of the agreements in questions (this means a period of 10 years).
Danska ističe da je zbog ovakvih okolnosti (vidjeti uvodne izjave 32. i 33.)
Denmark states that the 1999 agreements had a positive impact on the airport's finances for the period 1999 to 2009.
Zračna luka Aarhus morala davati poticaje kako bi privukla nove klijente i popunila kapacitete praznog hoda.
Denmark clarifies that, at the time of the conclusion of the 1999 agreements with Ryanair, Aarhus airport was facing the following challenges: First, it was competing for airlines and passengers with Billund airport, which had as the largest airport in the Jutland region a strategically stronger competitive position.
Danska pojašnjava da je direktor Zračne luke Aarhus procijenio da će Ryanair biti u stanju u zračnu luku privući otprilike […] dodatnih putnika godišnje.
Second, Aarhus airport was only operating at 40 % of its capacity and had already suffered from a decrease in passengers from approximately 860000 to approximately 596000 from 1996 to 1999, with a further decrease expected in the coming years.
Danska navodi da su, na osnovu tih putničkih prognoza, ugovori trebali 2001. generirati neto prihod od otprilike […] DKK ([…] EUR).
Third, the military activity of the airport, Tirstrup Air Base, had ceased, which meant that the Aarhus annual net costs associated with air traffic control, fire and rescue services, technical and ground services had risen by DKK 10-12 million.
Danska objašnjava da su pouzdanost prognoze direktora potvrdili i stvarni rezultati, kao na primjer, kada je 2001. zabilježen neto prihod u iznosu od […] DKK ([…] EUR) od ugovora iz 1999.
Fourth, a new motorway (namely, the Djursland motorway) providing a faster and easier transport link with Tirstrup, was scheduled to open in 2004.
Danska naglašava da su svi ti troškovi (kao što su, na primjer, marketing, zemaljske usluge i drugi troškovi) koje je zračna luka imala zbog sklapanja ugovora s Ryanairom financirani izravno iz prihoda proizašlih iz tog ugovora.
Denmark explains further that the Great Belt Bridge had been opened (giving travellers the option of driving from Aarhus to Copenhagen) and the SAS route to London had been closed.
Osim toga, Danska navodi da neto prihod generiran ugovorom doprinosi ukupnoj profitabilnosti zračne luke.
Denmark points out that the opening of the Great Belt Bridge reduced the journey time between Aarhus and Copenhagen from approximately five hours to approximately three hours for alternative means of transport (car/train/express ferry).
Danska ističe da ugovori s Ryanairom iz 1999. nisu zahtijevali nikakve investicije od strane Zračne luke Aarhus, jer je zračna luka radila samo na 40 % svojih mogućnosti.
Denmark points out that against this background (see recitals 32 and 33) Aarhus airport had to provide incentives in order to attract new clients and fill the idle capacity.
Danska pojašnjava da su u vezi s operativnim troškovima Zračne luke Aarhus ugovori iz 1999. s Ryanairom omogućili da osoblje pokriva i do 60 % kapaciteta, na primjer osoblje zemaljskih usluga već se financiralo iz drugih prihoda te zračne luke.
Denmark clarifies that Aarhus airport's director estimated that Ryanair would be able to attract to the airport around […] additional passengers per annum.
S obzirom na marketinšku potporu koju Zračna luka Aarhus prema ugovoru o marketingu plaća Ryanairu, Danska ističe da je uprava zračne luke očekivala da će Ryanair pomoći zračnoj luci povećanjem njene izloženosti.
Denmark states that, on the basis of these passenger forecasts, the agreements were expected to generate a net income of approximately DKK […] (EUR […]) in 2001.
Danska dodatno pojašnjava da je Zračna luka Aarhus istodobno smanjila svoje druge marketinške aktivnosti jer ih je zamijenio Ryanair, kao što su među ostalima oglašavanje zračne luke Aarhus na internetskoj stranici Ryanaira i u zračnim lukama koje opslužuje.
Denmark explains that the reliability of the director's forecasts was confirmed by the actual results, such as for example in 2001 the net income generated by the 1999 agreements was DKK […] (EUR […]).
Danska pojašnjava da je Zračna luka Aarhus namjeravala povećati svoje prihode kroz povećanje broja putnika i ne-zrakoplovnih prihoda (kao što su prihodi od kupovine ili parkinga).
Denmark stresses that all costs (such as, for example, marketing, ground handling and other costs) incurred by the airport in connection with the entry into the agreement with Ryanair are financed directly through the revenue generated by that agreement.
Danska nadalje pojašnjava da je u vrijeme kada su 1999. sklopljeni ugovori s Ryanairom Zračna luka Aarhus očekivala da će plaćanje parkiranja biti glavni potencijalni izvor prihoda.
In addition, Denmark states that the net income generated by the agreement contributes to the overall profitability of the airport.
Što se tiče prihoda od kupovine, Danska pojašnjava da je samo 30 % raspoloživih kapaciteta zračne luke bilo u zakupu.
Denmark points out that the 1999 Ryanair agreements did not require any investments from Aarhus airport, because the airport was only operated at 40 % of its capacity.
Iz tih razloga, Danska je mišljenja da su ugovori iz 1999. s Ryanairom sklopljeni u skladu s MEOP-om budući da se od ugovora očekivalo da će od 1999. do 2009. doprinijeti otprilike […] danskih kruna (DKK) te će tako utjecati na profitabilnost zračne luke, a time i na povećanje financijske održivosti upravitelja zračne luke.
Denmark clarifies that also with regard to Aarhus airport's operating costs the 1999 agreements with Ryanair provided that the staff could cover up to 60 % of the capacity, for example the ground handling staff had already been financed from the airport's other income.
Kao dokaz toga, Danska je dostavila poslovni plan i pretpostavke o profitabilnosti uprave upravitelja zračne luke.
With regard to the marketing support to be paid by Aarhus airport to Ryanair according to the marketing agreement, Denmark points out that the management of the airport expected that Ryanair would assist the airport by increasing its exposure.
Tablica 3 sažima očekivanu profitabilnost ugovora iz 1999. s Ryanairom koje je dostavila Danska:
Denmark further clarifies that at the same time Aarhus airport decided to downsize its other marketing activities as these were replaced by Ryanair, such as among others the advertising of Aarhus airport on Ryanair's website and at the airports served.
Tablica 3.
Denmark clarifies that Aarhus airport's intention was to increase its revenues through the increase in passengers and non-aeronautical revenue (such as shopping or parking revenue).
Pregled očekivane profitabilnosti ugovora s Ryanairom iz 1999. za zračnu luku Aarhus u tisućama DKK
Denmark clarifies further that, at the time when the 1999 Ryanair agreements were concluded, Aarhus airport expected the paid parking to be a major potential income generator.
Ukupno (nominalno)
With regard to the shopping revenue, Denmark clarifies that only 30 % of the airport's available capacity was being leased out.
Prihodi
For these reasons, Denmark is of the opinion that the 1999 agreements with Ryanair were concluded in accordance with the MEOP as these agreements were expected to contribute in 1999 to 2009 around DKK […] to the profitability of the airport and increased thus the financial viability of the airport operator.
Zrakoplovni prihodi
In order to support this position, Denmark provided the business plan and profitability assumptions of the management of the airport operator.
Ne-zrakolovni prihodi
Table 3 summarises the expected profitability of the 1999 agreements with Ryanair provided by Denmark:

Total (nominal)
Danska pojašnjava da Ryanair ne prima selektivnu prednost jer su popusti iz ugovora s Ryanairom iz 1999. prethodno bili odobreni i SAS-u.
Revenues
Nadalje, Danska ističe da su 1999., društva Cimber Air A/S i Maersk Air A/S također dobila isti popust od 50 % kao i Ryanair.
Aeronautical revenue
Danska nadalje navodi da su i regionalni zračni prijevoznici Sunair i EasyJet (prethodno Go) također primili ponude za ugovor sa sličnim popustom.
Non-aeronautical revenue
U svrhu dokaza Danska je dostavila kopije tih dopisa.
Costs
Stajalište Danske jest da su ugovori iz 1999. sklopljeni između Zračne luke Aarhus i Ryanaira sklopljeni po tržišnim uvjetima i da se njima Ryanairu ne daje prednost te stoga ne predstavljaju državnu potporu.
Ground handling
Nadalje, Danska pojašnjava da je očekivana profitabilnost potvrđena i stvarnim financijskim rezultatima upravitelja zračne luke.
Marketing
Danska dalje navodi da je na primjer 2010.
Results from 1999 Ryanair agreements
Zračna luka Aarhus ostvarila neto dobit od otprilike dva milijuna DKK, a i za naredne se godine očekuju pozitivni rezultati.
Denmark clarifies that Ryanair does not receive a selective advantage as the discounts granted on the basis of the 1999 agreements with Ryanair have been previously granted also to SAS.
Danska ističe da je profit rezultat postupnog povećanja broja putnika i dugoročnog prelaska s domaćih na međunarodne letove nakon otvaranja mosta The Great Belt Bridge.
Further, Denmark pointed out that in 1999, Cimber Air A/S and Maersk Air A/S were also granted the same 50 % discount as Ryanair.
PRIMJEDBE TREĆIH STRANA
Denmark further states that also the regional airline Sunair and EasyJet (previously Go) received offers for a similar discount agreement.
Komisija je zaprimila komentare tri zainteresirane strane.
Denmark takes the view that the 1999 agreements concluded between Aarhus airport and Ryanair were concluded on market terms and do not confer an advantage on Ryanair, and thus do not constitute State aid.
Također navodi da mu je žao što mu Komisija nije dala mogućnost da sudjeluje u preliminarnom ispitivanju.
Moreover, Denmark clarifies that the expected profitability was also confirmed by actual financial results of the airport manager.
O biti predmeta Ryanair smatra da se Komisija trebala temeljiti na standardnim trgovačkim ugovorima i na temelju odlučiti da su ugovori iz 1999. u skladu s MEOP-om i stoga ne uključuju državnu potporu.
Denmark states further that for example Aarhus airport achieved net profits of around DKK 2 million in 2010, also for the next years positive results are expected.
Ryanair je mišljenja da direktor Zračne luke Aarhus ima koristi od njegove prisutnosti u zračnoj luci.
Denmark points out that the profits are the result of the gradual increase in passengers and the long-term switch from domestic to international flights following the opening of the Great Belt Bridge.
S obzirom na MEOP, Ryanair tvrdi da se sa strane prihoda, u obzir moraju uzeti zrakoplovni i ne-zrakoplovni prihodi.
COMMENTS FROM THIRD PARTIES
Što se tiče troškova, Ryanair ističe da su relevantni troškovi koje treba uzeti u obzir dodatni troškovi sklapanja predmetnih ugovora sa zračnim prijevoznikom.
The Commission has received observations from three interested parties.
Ryanair je mišljenja da ni nepovratne troškove, niti fiksne režijske troškove ne treba uzeti u obzir.
Ryanair
Ryanair navodi da ako zračni prijevoznik sa zračnom lukom stupa u ugovor koji je postupno isplativ, ugovor ne sadrži potpore.
Ryanair began its observations dated 29 May 2008 by stating that in its opinion the initiation of a formal investigation procedure was unjustified and unnecessary.
Ryanair tvrdi da, općenito, subjekt u tržišnom gospodarstvu ne sklapa ugovore koji će postupno stvarati gubitke.
It also stated that it regrets that the Commission did not give Ryanair the possibility to engage itself in the preliminary examination.
S druge strane, Ryanair tvrdi da je potrebno napraviti iznimku ako je zračna luka neučinkovita u vrijeme kada je ugovor sklopljen, ali vjeruje da će ugovor, na neki način, pomoći da se poboljšanju njezine učinkovitosti.
On the substance of the case Ryanair is of the opinion that the Commission should have based itself on standard commercial arrangements and on this basis it should have decided that the 1999 agreements comply with the MEOP, hence it does not involve State aid.
U tom slučaju, prema Ryanairu, ugovor bi mogao biti profitabilan, čak i ako se u vrijeme sklapanja ugovora čini da je on ispod njegovih dodatnih troškova.
Ryanair is of the opinion that the manager of Aarhus airport is benefiting from its presence at the airport.
Nadalje, prema Ryanairu, Komisija je trebala temeljiti svoju procjenu na usporednom pristupu, uspoređujući ugovore koje je Ryanair sklopio s drugim javnim i privatnim zračnim lukama.
With regard to the MEOP, Ryanair states that on the revenue side, both aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues must be taken into account.
Ryanair dalje navodi da se, pri procjeni ugovora, u obzir trebalo uzeti mrežne eksternalije koje proizlaze iz ugovora iz 1999.
On the costs side, Ryanair points out that the relevant costs to be taken into account are the incremental costs of entering the respective agreements with an airline.
Ryanair smatra da predmetni ugovori iz 1999. odgovaraju standardnom komercijalnom ugovoru između zračne luke i zračnog prijevoznika na liberaliziranom tržištu.
Ryanair is of the opinion that neither sunk costs nor fixed overhead costs should be taken into account.
Ryanair tvrdi da je temelj toga neovisna odluka zračne luke da poboljša iskorištenost svojih kapaciteta što većim povećavanjem broja putnika, kako bi povećala svoje zrakoplovne i ne-zrakoplovne prihode.
Ryanair states that if an airline enters into an agreement with an airport which is incrementally profitable, the agreement does not contain any aid.
Ryanair tvrdi da je Zračna luka Aarhus slijedila primjer mnogih privatnih zračnih luka u usporedivoj situaciji, te je odlučila da je najbolji način za postizanje što većeg broja putnika poticanje zračnih kompanija da dovedu veliki broj putnika.
Ryanair states that, in general, a market economy operator is not expected to enter into agreements which are incrementally loss-making.
Prema Ryanairu, zračne luke osiguravaju takve poticaje jer prepoznaju činjenicu da zračni prijevoznici koji prevoze velike količine putnika generiraju ekonomiju razmjera za upravitelja zračne luke.
On the other hand, Ryanair states that an exception should be made if an airport is inefficient at the time the agreement is concluded, but believes the agreement will, in some way, help it to improve its efficiency.
Prema Ryanairu, shema poticaja Zračne luke Aarhus temeljila se na obvezi Ryanaira da će dovesti najmanje […] putnika godišnje.
In that case, according to Ryanair, the deal could be profitable even if at the time of signing the agreement it appears to be below its incremental costs.
Ryanair nudi primjere drugih europskih zračnih luka koje slijede sličnu strategiju kao zračna luka Aarhus, na primjer London Stansted, London Luton i Frankfurt Hahn.
Furthermore, according to Ryanair, the Commission should have based its assessment on a comparator approach, comparing the agreements concluded by Ryanair with other public and private airports.
Osim toga, Ryanair ističe da je, kako bi bili u skladu s MEOP-om, to dovoljno, ako se ugovorima poboljša dugoročna financijska situacija zračne luke.
Ryanair further states that, when assessing the agreements, the network externalities resulting from the 1999 agreements should also be considered.
Ryanair objašnjava da se pristojbe koje bi plaćao SAS ne mogu usporediti s onima koje plaća Ryanair jer je razina pruženih usluga, kao što su zahtjevi za rukovanje i operacije zrakoplova, ta dva zračna prijevoznika različita.
It is the view of Ryanair that the investigated 1999 agreements correspond to a standard commercial arrangement between an airport and an airline in a liberalised market.
Ryanair je mišljenja da su ugovori iz 1999. sklopljeni sa Zračnom lukom Aarhus u skladu s MEOP-om.
Ryanair points out that it is rooted in the airport's independent decision to improve its capacity utilisation by means of maximising passenger numbers, in order to increase its aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues.
Što se tiče ubrojivosti ugovora iz 1999., Ryanair je mišljenja da je Zračna luka Aarhus neovisan poduzetnik.
Ryanair argues that Aarhus airport followed the example of many private airports in a comparable situation, deciding that the best way to maximise passenger numbers is to incentivise airlines to deliver large passenger volumes.
Ryanair tvrdi da vlasnici nemaju nadzor nad upravom i financijama.
According to Ryanair, airports provide such incentives in recognition of the fact that airlines delivering large passenger volumes generate economies of scale for the airport manager.
Ryanair objašnjava da je uprava odredila pristojbe i pregovarala aranžman sa zračnim prijevoznikom.
According to Ryanair, the incentive scheme at Aarhus airport was rooted in Ryanair's commitment to generate at least […] passengers per annum.
Ni javna tijela ni Danska nisu bili uključeni u pregovore.
Ryanair provides examples of other European airports that follow a similar strategy as Aarhus airport, for example London Stansted, London Luton, and Frankfurt Hahn.
Nadalje, Ryanair vjeruje da dioničari zračne luke nemaju kontrolu nad određivanjem pristojbi, uključujući i dogovor s Ryanairom.
In addition, Ryanair points out that, in order to be in line with the MEOP, it is sufficient, if the agreements improve the long-term financial situation of the airport.
S obzirom na selektivnu prednost, Ryanair je mišljenja da budući da Zračna luka Aarhus nije u dominantnom položaju na bilo kojem od europskih, nacionalnih ili regionalnih tržišta za usluge zrakoplovnih luka ona stoga nije obvezna biti u skladu s pravilima tržišnog natjecanja EU-a koja nalažu tretman svih zrakoplovnih klijenata na nediskriminirajući način.
Ryanair explains that the fees to be paid by SAS cannot be compared to those paid by Ryanair as the level of services provided, such as handling requirements and aircraft operations, of the two airlines are different.
Ipak, Ryanair pojašnjava da Zračna luka Aarhus nikada nije postupala u skladu s načelom diskriminacije, a zapravo je isti ugovor, koji je na kraju prihvatio Ryanair, ponudila i nizu drugih zračnih prijevoznika, uključujući i SAS, Cimber Air, Sun Air i Maersk.
Ryanair is of the opinion that the 1999 agreements concluded with Aarhus airport are in line with the MEOP.
Ryanair ističe da činjenica da nijedan od tih zračnih prijevoznika nije bio zainteresiran za širenje svog poslovanja iz Aarhusa ne znači da Ryanair uživa povlašteni tretman.
With regard to the imputability of the 1999 agreements, Ryanair is of the opinion that Aarhus airport is an independent undertaking.
Osim toga, Ryanair tvrdi da se u njegovom ugovoru sa Zračnom lukom Aarhus iz 1999. nigdje ne spominje ekskluzivnost.
Ryanair states that the owners do not exercise control over its management and finances.
S obzirom na navedeno, Ryanair je mišljenja da ugovori sklopljeni sa Zračnom lukom Aarhus ne čine državnu potporu.
Ryanair explains that it was the management that determined the charges and negotiated the arrangement with the airline.
SAS je dostavio svoje primjedbe 16. lipnja 2008.
The public authorities or Denmark were not involved in the negotiations.
Prema mišljenju SAS-a, Zračna luka Aarhus nije neovisna od svojih javnih vlasnika (naime, javnih tijela).
Further, Ryanair believes that the airport's shareholders retain no control over the setting of charges, including the deal with Ryanair.
SAS navodi da je većina članova odbora imenovana i izabrana od strane javnih vlasnika zračne luke.
With regard to the selective advantage, Ryanair is of the opinion that, since Aarhus airport is not in a dominant position in any of the European, national or regional markets for airport services, it is therefore not under an obligation pursuant to EU competition rules to treat all of its airline customers in a non-discriminatory manner.
SAS vjeruje da članovi odbora stoga nisu neovisni od svojih poslodavaca i vlasnika koje predstavljaju.
Nevertheless, Ryanair clarifies that Aarhus airport has always followed the principle of non-discrimination, and in fact offered the arrangement, eventually taken up by Ryanair, to a number of other airlines, including SAS, Cimber Air, Sun Air and Maersk.
S obzirom na financijsku situaciju zračne luke, SAS primjećuje da je Zračna luka Aarhus navela je da njihova financijska situacija dobra i da Ryanair daje godišnji neto doprinos zračnoj luci od otprilike 5 do 6 milijuna DKK.
Ryanair points out that the fact that none of these airlines was interested in expanding their operations from Aarhus does not mean that Ryanair enjoys preferential treatment.
SAS tvrdi da je, čak i da je ta brojka točna, Zračna luka Aarhus pokazala negativan rezultat od 2311410 DKK u 2007. godini, unatoč povećanju prihoda od 12,5 %.
In addition, Ryanair states that its 1999 agreements with Aarhus airport do not contain any reference to exclusivity.
SAS nadalje tvrdi da slab financijski rezultati upravitelja zračne luke također potkrepljuje činjenica da nagomilani negativni rezultati u posljednjih pet godina iznose više od 20 milijuna DKK (danskih kruna).
In view of the above, Ryanair is of the opinion that the agreements concluded with Aarhus airport do not constitute State aid.
SAS smatra da bi bez subvencija dodijeljenih Ryanairu financijski položaj upravitelja zračne luke bio znatno bolji.
SAS submitted its comments on 16 June 2008.
SAS je mišljenja da je Zračna luka Aarhus Ryanairu odobrila povlašteni tretman u obliku bitno smanjenih pristojbi zračne luke te smanjenja troškova polijetanja i slijetanja.
In the opinion of SAS, Aarhus airport is not independent from its public owners (namely, the public authorities).
SAS tvrdi da se, dodjeljivanjem povlaštenog tretmana Ryanairu diskriminira protiv drugih prijevoznika koji djeluju u zračnoj luci.
SAS states that the majority of the board members are appointed and elected by the public owners of the airport.
Prema mišljenju SAS-a, potpora koju je Ryanairu dodijelio upravitelj zračne luke nije usmjerena na razvijanje nerazvijene regije, nego na privlačenje dodatnih operacija u konkurenciji s drugim zračnim lukama.
