In particular, the 2005 SGEI Decision declared compatible State aid in the form of public service compensation to airports: (i) for which the annual traffic does not exceed 1000000 passengers; or (ii) with an annual turnover before tax of less than EUR 100 million during the 2 financial years preceding that in which the SGEI was assigned, which receive annual compensation of less than EUR 30 million.
Stoga se prihvatna područja različitih zračnih luka mogu razlikovati po veličini i obliku, ovisno o primjerice poslovnom modelu zračne luke, njezinoj lokaciji i odredištima koja opslužuje.
In order to benefit from an exemption, public service compensation for the operation of an SGEI had to comply with the conditions set out in Articles 4, 5 and 6 thereof.
Uzimajući u obzir taj koncept, može se pretpostaviti da se zračne luke u Grazu (128 km od Klagenfurta), Mariboru (137 km od Klagenfurta), Trstu (203 km od Klagenfurta) i Salzburgu (223 km od Klagenfurta) ne nalaze u istom prihvatnom području.
Article 4 of the 2005 SGEI Decision required that the SGEI be entrusted to the undertaking concerned by way of one or more official acts, setting out, inter alia, the nature and duration of the public service obligations, the parameters for calculating, controlling and reviewing the compensation, and the necessary arrangements for avoiding and repaying any overcompensation.
Međutim, u blizini je zračna luka Ljubljana u Sloveniji.
Article 5 of the 2005 SGEI Decision laid down that the amount of compensation had to be limited to what is necessary to cover the costs incurred in discharging the public service obligations, taking into account the relevant receipts and a reasonable profit.
Najkraća cestovna udaljenost od Klagenfurta do zračne luke Ljubljana iznosi 80 km, a cesta prolazi kroz planinski lanac Karavanke i prelazi preko planinskog prijevoja Ljubelj na 1068 m nadmorske visine.
Finally, Article 6 of the 2005 SGEI Decision required Member States to carry out regular controls to ensure that undertakings are not receiving compensation in excess of the amount determined in accordance with Article 5.
Austrijska tijela istaknula su da trajanje putovanja kraće od 60 minuta automobilom ili autobusom nije realno jer je, kao prvo, cesta uska, vijugava i strma te teška za svladati čak i u normalnim uvjetima, a posebno tijekom zime, a kao drugo, cesta je zatvorena nekoliko puta godišnje zbog odrona zemlje ili pada kamenja.
According to Austria, the operation of KLU could be considered a SGEI.
Najkraći je alternativni put autocesta do grada Villacha i kroz tunel Karavanke, ali u tom slučaju udaljenost bi iznosila približno 130 km.
The Commission is however of the opinion that the SGEI qualification of the management of KLU cannot be inferred from the information submitted by Austria.
Ne postoji linija brzog vlaka, a putovanje vlakom traje od 2 sata i 10 minuta do 2 sata i 48 minuta.
Neither an explicit definition of the alleged SGEI mission entrusted to KFBG/DMG nor the rules governing KFBG/DMG's right to compensation were laid down by Austria.
Stoga se s obzirom na taj zemljopisni položaj može zaključiti da zračna luka u Ljubljani nije u prihvatnom području KLU-a, jer putovanje između tih dviju zračnih luka često traje dulje nego u optimalnim vremenskim uvjetima.
Nor has KFBG/DMG made available to the Commission any other document outlining the scope of the presumed SGEI it had to discharge.
Uz to, KLU i zračna luka u Ljubljani imaju vrlo različite poslovne modele: u Klagenfurtu se uglavnom nude redovni letovi koji ga povezuju s glavnim poslovnim centrima kao što su Beč, Berlin, Hamburg i Köln-Bonn te određeni čarter letovi do niza turističkih odredišta.
Therefore, the Commission considers that there is no entrustment act that has imposed a genuine SGEI on the airport manager of KLU.
Odredišta koja opslužuje KLU stoga su ograničena na potrebe stanovnika Koruške, a to su brz i jednostavan pristup glavnim poslovnim centrima njemačkog govornog područja te istovremeni jednostavan pristup turista turističkoj industriji u Koruški.
Nor has the State of Carinthia laid down the parameters for calculating, controlling and reviewing the compensation, and the necessary arrangements for avoiding and repaying any overcompensation.
Zračna luka u Ljubljani, kao glavna slovenska zračna luka glavnog grada Slovenije, ima više od milijun putnika godišnje i nudi širok raspon međunarodnih odredišta za redovne i čarter letove u cijeloj Europi, s posebnim naglaskom na istočne europske države.
The requirements of Articles 4, 5 and 6 of the 2005 SGEI Decision relating to the content of the entrustment acts are therefore not met.
Komisija stoga smatra da se operativnom potporom odobrenom zračnoj luci Klagenfurt pridonijelo ostvarenju cilja od općeg interesa tj. povećanju povezanosti i regionalnom razvoju regije Koruške upravljanjem prometnom infrastrukturom kojom se zadovoljavaju potrebe regije u pogledu transporta.
The Commission considers that on this basis it cannot be concluded that the aid to KFBG/DMG was exempted from the notification requirement on the basis of the 2005 SGEI Decision.
Potreba za intervencijom države
Therefore, the Commission concludes that Austria did not respect the stand-still obligation laid down by Article 108(3) TFEU and the measures at issue thus constitute unlawful State aid.
U skladu s točkama 116. i dalje Smjernica za zračni prijevoz iz 2014., operativna potpora zračnim lukama smatrat će se nužnom ako se njome ostvaruje materijalno poboljšanje koje tržište samo ne može ostvariti.
The 2002 and 2006 agreements with Ryanair, LV and AMS
U smjernicama se dalje priznaje da će potreba za javnim financiranjem operativnih troškova kod manjih zračnih luka u pravilu biti razmjerno veća zbog visokih fiksnih troškova i da zračne luke s godišnjim putničkim prometom od 200000 do 700000 putnika vjerojatno ne mogu same snositi znatan dio svojih operativnih troškova.
The State aid granted to Ryanair and its subsidiaries on the basis of the agreements of 2002 and 2006 was granted without being notified.
Nakon što se na KLU-u u prošlosti opsluživalo približno 520000 putnika godišnje, njegov godišnji broj putnika stabilizirao se na približno 230000, a to je znatno manje od 700000 putnika.
The State aid granted to Ryanair and its subsidiaries therefore constitutes unlawful aid.
Zračna luka nije mogla stvoriti dovoljno prihoda da bi sama pokrivala znatan dio svojih operativnih troškova, a to je u Smjernicama za zračni prijevoz iz 2014. utvrđeno kao tipično za zračne luke te veličine.
The 2003 agreement with HLX and the 2008 agreement with Tuifly
Bez predmetne potpore, KFBG/DMG vjerojatno bi morao napustiti tržište i time lišiti Korušku prometne infrastrukture koja ima važnu ulogu u njezinoj dostupnosti i razvoju (turizam).
The State aid granted to HLX and Tuifly on the basis of the agreements of 2003 and 2008 was granted without being notified.
Stoga Komisija smatra da je operativna potpora zračnoj luci Klagenfurt nužna.
It therefore constitutes unlawful aid.
Prikladnost državnih potpora kao instrumenta politike
ASSESSMENT OF THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE AID
U skladu s točkom 120.
Article 107(3) TFEU provides for certain exemptions to the general rule set out in Article 107(1) TFEU that State aid is not compatible with the internal market.
Smjernica za zračni prijevoz iz 2014. operativna potpora trebala bi biti primjereni instrument politike za postizanje željenog cilja ili za rješavanje problema koji se namjeravalo riješiti potporom.
The aid in question can be assessed on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU, which stipulates that: ‘aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest’, may be considered to be compatible with the internal market.
Budući da je KLU ostvarivao gubitke na operativnoj razini, jedini primjereni instrument bila je operativna potpora kojom se omogućilo zračnoj luci da nastavi s radom osiguravajući povezanost regije Koruške.
Compatibility pursuant to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines
Drugi instrumenti kao što su potpora za ulaganja ili regulatorne mjere ne čine se primjerenim instrumentima za rješavanje financijskih problema KLU-a na operativnoj razini.
As Austria did not provide arguments that the aid should be approved directly under Article 107(3) TFEU (nor the beneficiaries of the aid), the 2014 Aviation Guidelines provide a framework for assessing whether aid to airports may be declared compatible pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Stoga Komisija smatra da je operativna potpora KLU-u primjereni instrument.
In view of the provisions of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines referred to in recital 492, the Commission has to determine whether the measure in question constitutes unlawful investment or operating aid.
Prijevozne potrebe regije Koruške, izražene u obliku broja putnika, stabilizirale su se u razdoblju od 2004. do 2010. na razini od 400000 putnika godišnje (i tek su se od 2012. smanjile na 230000 putnika godišnje).
According to recital 18 in point 25 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, investment aid is defined as ‘aid to finance fixed capital assets; specifically, to cover the “capital costs funding gap”’.
Međutim, unatoč stabilnim brojevima putnika zračna luka u prošlosti nije mogla pokriti svoje operativne troškove.
Moreover, according to point 107 of the Guidelines investment aid can relate both to an upfront payment (that is to say cover upfront investment costs) and to aid paid out in the form of periodic instalments (to cover capital costs, in terms of annual depreciation and costs of financing).
Podaci koje je dostavila Austrija pokazuju da bi zračna luka bez operativne potpore ostvarila znatne gubitke u većini relevantnih godina.
Operating aid, on the other hand, means aid covering all or part of the operating costs of an airport, defined as ‘the underlying costs of the provision of airport services, including categories such as costs of personnel, contracted services, communications, waste, energy, maintenance, rent, administration, etc., but excluding the capital costs, marketing support or any other incentives granted to airlines by the airport, and costs falling within a public policy remit’.
Stoga bi bez operativne potpore KFBG morao smanjiti promet kako bi smanjio troškove i gubitke ili bi u suprotnom vjerojatno otišao u stečaj, a to bi vjerojatno dovelo do prestanka rada zračne luke.
It can be considered that the financial contributions, which were used to cover annual operating losses of KFBG/DMG due to the costs of the marketing contracts of KFBG with different airlines, constitute operating aid in favour of KFBG/DMG.
Stoga zračna luka bez operativne potpore ne bi mogla zadržati postojeću razinu prometa i njezine bi se gospodarske aktivnosti morale smanjiti.
Section 5.1.2 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines sets out the criteria that the Commission will apply in assessing the compatibility of operating aid with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Razmjernost iznosa potpore (ograničenje potpore na nužni minimum)
Pursuant to point 172 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission will apply those criteria to all cases concerning operating aid, including pending notifications and unlawful non-notified aid cases.
Kad je riječ o nužnosti, mjere koje su predmet istrage bile su ograničene na nužan minimum za pokrivanje gubitaka i njima se omogućilo KFBG/DMG-u da ispuni kapitalne zahtjeve i nastavi održivo poslovati.
Unlawful operating aid granted before the date of publication of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines may be declared compatible to the full extent of uncovered operating costs provided that the following conditions are met:
Potpora je bila potrebna kako bi se društvo održalo i nije premašila iznos potreban za pokrivanje operativnih gubitaka.
contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest: this condition is fulfilled, inter alia, if the aid increases the mobility of citizens of the Union and connectivity of the regions or facilitates regional development,
Potpora je stoga bila ograničena na nužni minimum.
need for State intervention: the aid must be targeted towards situations where such aid can bring about a material improvement that the market itself cannot deliver,
Stoga Komisija smatra da je operativna potpora KLU-u razmjerna.
appropriateness of State aid as a policy instrument: this condition is fulfilled, if the Member State can demonstrate that the aid is the appropriate measure to achieve the intended objective,
Izbjegavanje neopravdanih negativnih učinaka na tržišno natjecanje i trgovinu
existence of incentive effect: this condition is fulfilled if it is likely that, in the absence of operating aid, and taking into account the possible presence of investment aid and the level of traffic, the level of economic activity of the airport concerned would be significantly reduced,
U skladu s točkom 131.
proportionality of the aid amount (aid limited to the minimum necessary): in order to be proportionate, operating aid to airports must be limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place,
Smjernica za zračni prijevoz iz 2014., pri procjenjivanju spojivosti operativnih potpora zračnoj luci Komisija će uzeti u obzir narušavanje tržišnog natjecanja i učinke na trgovinu.
avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade.
Pokazatelj potencijalnog narušavanja tržišnog natjecanja ili učinka na trgovinu može biti činjenica da je zračna luka smještena u istom prihvatnom području kao i neka druga zračna luka s viškom kapaciteta.
Contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest
Kako je prikazano u uvodnim izjavama 503. i dalje, kada se uzme u obzir pojam prihvatnog područja od približno 100 km i vrijeme putovanja od 60 minuta može se pretpostaviti da zračna luka u Ljubljani nije u području prihvata Klagenfurta.
The operating aid under assessment that comprises the losses of KFBG/DMG since 2000 and the corresponding financial contributions by the City of Klagenfurt, the State of Carinthia and KLH as demonstrated in Table 2, had the objective of maintaining the appropriate level of operation of KLU.
Nadalje, Austrija je potvrdila da se infrastruktura zračne luke stavlja na raspolaganje svim prijevoznicima pod nediskriminacijskim uvjetima.
According to point 113 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, operating aid to airports will be considered to contribute to the achievement of an objective of common interest if it increases the mobility of Union citizens and the connectivity of the regions, combats air traffic congestion at major Union hub airports or facilitates regional development.
KLU je bez posebnih ograničenja otvoren svim prijevoznicima koji u njemu žele poslovati.
KLU is important for the economic development of the region of Carinthia, for which a good connection to the Austrian capital Vienna and the main German business centres is indispensable.
Pristup toj infrastrukturi jednak je i nediskriminirajući u smislu Smjernica iz 2014.
KLU further satisfies connectivity needs of the region in particular in view of its tourism sector for alpine summer and winter sports.
Na temelju navedenog, Komisija zaključuje da je operativna potpora odobrena KLU-u spojiva s člankom 107. stavkom 3. točkom (c) UFEU-a u svjetlu uvjeta spojivosti utvrđenih u odjeljku 5.1.2.
The business profile of KLU corresponds to these needs of the region, offering a comfortable infrastructure for a number of scheduled flights to the main business centres in Germany (Berlin, Hamburg, Köln-Bonn and in the past also Munich) as well as Vienna.
Smjernica za zračni prijevoz iz 2014.
According to the information provided by Austria in the annual statements of accounts of KFBG the development of Klagenfurt Airport was also based on a sound passenger forecast.
Sporazumi sa zračnim prijevoznicima – mjerodavni pravni okvir
Furthermore, it needs to be assessed whether a possible duplication of airport infrastructure could militate against finding that the operation of KLU meets a clearly defined objective of common interest.
Komisija napominje da Austrija nije navela nikakve argumente kojima bi pokazala da je potpora odobrena Ryanairu i njegovim društvima kćerima spojiva s unutarnjim tržištem.
In this respect, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines define the catchment area as a geographic market boundary that is normally set around 100 km and around 60 minutes traveling time by car, bus, train or high-speed train.
Na temelju sudske prakse Suda, Komisija podsjeća da je odgovornost Austrije navesti pravnu osnovu na temelju koje bi se mjera državne potpore mogla smatrati spojivom s unutarnjim tržištem i pokazati da su ispunjeni svi potrebni uvjeti.
At the same time, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines allow to deviate from the standard definition of the catchment area of a given airport in order to take into account the specificities of each particular airport.
U odluci o pokretanju postupka Komisija je od Austrije zatražila da dostavi informacije o tome je li moguće utvrditi spojivost u skladu sa Smjernicama za zračni prijevoz iz 2005. ili izravno u skladu s UFEU-om.
In this respect, the size and shape of the catchment area may vary from airport to airport, including its business model, location and the destinations it serves.
Međutim, Austrija nije dostavila nikakve podneske kojima bi pokazala da su ispunjeni relevantni uvjeti za spojivu potporu za započinjanje poslovanja u skladu sa Smjernicama za zračni prijevoz iz 2005. ili izravno u skladu s UFEU-om.
Taking into account this concept, it can be assumed that Graz airport (128 km from Klagenfurt), Maribor airport (137 km from Klagenfurt), Trieste airport (203 km from Klagenfurt) and Salzburg airport (223 km from Klagenfurt) are not located in the same catchment area.
Ni zainteresirane strane koje su dostavile primjedbe nisu navele nikakve argumente kojima bi pokazale spojivost mjere državne potpore s unutarnjim tržištem.
Ljubljana airport in Slovenia is however nearby.
Sporazumi s Ryanairom iz 2002.
The shortest distance by road from Klagenfurt to Ljubljana airport is 80 km and crosses the Karawanken mountain range, via the Loibl mountain pass, at 1068 metres above sea level.
Komisija stoga mora procijeniti spojivost predmetne potpore izravno na temelju članka 107. stavka 3. točke (c) UFEU-a.
The Austrian authorities pointed out that a travelling time of less than 60 minutes by car or bus is unrealistic, firstly, as that road is narrow, winding and steep and is difficult to negotiate even under normal conditions and in particular in the winter season, and secondly, as that road is closed several times every year due to rock fall or mudslides.
U tom je pogledu potrebno primijetiti da je Komisijina pravna procjena te vrste državnih potpora s vremenom usavršena, dok su određene točke ostale nepromijenjene.
The shortest alternative would be the motorway to the city of Villach and through the Karawanken road tunnel, but that distance would be around 130 km.
Te točke proizlaze iz općih načela koja su temelj za spojivost potpora u skladu s prethodno navedenom odredbom UFEU-a.
There is no high-speed train connection, and travelling time by train is between 2 hours 10 minutes and 2 hours 48 minutes.
Tako je u Odluci o Zračnoj luci Manchester iz lipnja 1999.
In view of this geographical situation, it can therefore be concluded that Ljubljana airport is not in the catchment areas of KLU, as the travelling time between the two airports will often be longer than under best travelling conditions.
Komisija ocijenila da su sniženja naknada zračne luke, koja su bila dodijeljena na nediskriminirajući način i s ograničenim trajanjem kao mjera u cilju promidžbe novih linija, spojiva s pravilima o državnim potporama.
Moreover, KLU and Ljubljana Airport pursue business models that are significantly different from each other: Klagenfurt offers mainly scheduled flights connecting Klagenfurt with main business centres such as Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg or Köln-Bonn and some charter flights to a number of holiday destinations.
Zatim, u Odluci iz veljače 2004. o Zračnoj luci Charleroi Komisija je objasnila da „operativne potpore namijenjene potpomaganju otvaranja novih zračnih linija ili pospješivanju određenih učestalosti mogu biti nužno sredstvo za razvoj malih regionalnih zračnih luka.
The destinations served at KLU are therefore limited to the need of the population of Carinthia, which is a fast and easy access to the main German speaking business centres and at the same time an easy access of tourists to the tourism industry in Carinthia.
One mogu učinkovito uvjeriti zainteresirane poduzetnike da preuzmu rizik ulaganja u nove linije.
Ljubljana airport as the main Slovenian airport of the Slovenian capital has more than 1 million annual passengers and offers a wide range of international destinations for scheduled and charter flights all over Europe with a focus on eastern European States.
Međutim, kako bi se te potpore mogle smatrati spojivima na temelju članka 87. stavka 3. točke (c) UFEU-a, potrebno je utvrditi jesu li te potpore potrebne i razmjerne traženom cilju te utječu li na trgovinu u mjeri koja je suprotna zajedničkom interesu”.
The Commission therefore considers that the operating aid granted to Klagenfurt Airport contributed to the achievement of the objective of common interest of improving the connectivity and regional development of the Carinthia region through the operation of transport infrastructure to meet the transport needs of the region.
Komisija je stoga utvrdila određene uvjete koji moraju biti ispunjeni da bi se te operativne potpore mogle smatrati spojivima, odnosno:
Need for State intervention
potpora mora pridonositi cilju od interesa za Zajednicu da se regionalna zračna luka razvije znatnim povećanjem prometa na novim linijama,
According to point 116 et seq. of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, operating aid to airports will be considered necessary if it brings about a material improvement that the market itself cannot deliver.
potpora mora biti neophodna, u smislu da nije namijenjena liniji na kojoj već posluje isti ili drugi prijevoznik ili sličnoj liniji,
The guidelines further recognise that the need for public funding to finance operating costs will normally be proportionately greater for smaller airports due to high fixed costs and that airports with annual passenger traffic between 200000 and 700000 passengers may not be able to cover their operating costs to a substantial extent.
potpora mora imati poticajni učinak u smislu da za poslovnu aktivnost čijem razvoju pridonosi mora postojati vjerojatnost da će, nakon određenog razdoblja, postati profitabilna, što znači da trajanje potpore mora biti ograničeno,
After having served as many as approximately 520000 passengers per year in the past, the annual passenger numbers of KLU have stabilised at around 230000, which is well below 700000 passengers.
potpora mora biti razmjerna, odnosno njezina visina mora biti povezana s neto razvojem prometa,
The airport was not able to generate enough revenues to cover its operating costs to a substantial extent, which the 2014 Aviation Guidelines identify as typical for airports of this size.
potpora se mora dodijeliti na transparentan i nediskriminirajući način te se ne smije kombinirati s drugim vrstama potpora.
Absent the aid in question, KFBG/DMG would likely have been forced to exit the market, depriving Carinthia of a transport infrastructure which plays a significant role in its accessibility and development (tourism).
Ta su načela spojivosti jasno navedena u Smjernicama za zračni prijevoz iz 2005. i Smjernicama za zračni prijevoz iz 2014., no i dalje je moguće da Komisija operativne potpore dodijeljene zračnim prijevoznicima proglasi spojivima ako se njima pridonosi razvoju manjih zračnih luka neto povećanjem prometa na novim linijama, ako je potpora neophodna, u smislu da nije dodijeljena za liniju na kojoj već posluje isti ili drugi prijevoznik ili sličnu liniju, ako je vremenski ograničena i ako postoji vjerojatnost da će linija za koju je potpora dodijeljena postati profitabilna, ako je iznos potpore razmjeran neto razvoju prometa i ako je potpora dodijeljena na transparentan i nediskriminirajući način te se ne kombinira s drugim vrstama potpora.
