The characteristics of the runway at Satu Mare airport allow the operation of aircrafts with a seating capacity of up to 180 passengers for medium-haul flights.
Ukupan proračun mjere koja je predmet ocjene iznosi 490401,3 tisuće RON, kako je navedeno u tablici 1.
The capacity of the airport amounts to 100 passengers/hour.
OSTALI ISTRAŽNI POSTUPCI U TIJEKU
Tuzla airport operates a grass strip used by small aircraft (i.e. not exceeding a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 5700 kg [13]) and has no radio navigation system.
[14] i mjerama financiranja javnim sredstvima u korist zračne luke Târgu Mureș dodijeljenima u razdoblju od 2011. do 2014.
In the period 2007-2009, the number of aircraft movements of aircrafts of maximum MTOW of 5700 kg from Constanța airport was significantly lower (5 to 16 times lower in the period under assessment) than at Tuzla airport.
[15], osim onih obuhvaćenih istražnim postupkom koji je predmet ove Odluke.
Tuzla airport mainly serves specialised flights while Constanța airport serves medium and large aircraft for commercial traffic.
RAZLOZI ZA POKRETANJE SLUŽBENOG ISTRAŽNOG POSTUPKA
ORADEA-DEBRECEN
Kako je objašnjeno u uvodnoj izjavi 4., Komisija je u odluci o pokretanju postupka odlučila pokrenuti službeni istražni postupak u pogledu prijavljene potpore i javnog financiranja u razdoblju 2007. – 2009. za pokrivanje operativnih gubitaka.
Debrecen Airport (Hungary) is at 80 km from Oradea airport, but the travelling time is of at least 1h30 since the trip includes passing of a border passport control from Romania which is not in the Schengen area to Hungary which belongs to the Schengen area.
Poslije, nakon što je Rumunjska povukla svoju obavijest o planiranom programu financiranja infrastrukturnih ulaganja, službeni istražni postupak ostao je otvoren u pogledu sredstava javnog financiranja dodijeljenih rumunjskim regionalnim zračnim lukama u razdoblju 2007. – 2009. (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 10.).
Debrecen airport had 42900 passengers in 2007, 42650 passengers in 2008 and 25060 passengers in 2009.
U odluci o pokretanju postupka Komisija je zauzela privremeno stajalište da uvjeti koje naknada za pružanje usluge od općega gospodarskog interesa mora ispuniti kako ne bi činila prednost u smislu članka 107.
The two airports had different business models in 2007-2009 since Debrecen airport was focused on charter flights (with low cost traffic developing only in the last years), while Oradea airport was focused on domestic flights by regional and national full service carriers.
Ugovora u ovom slučaju nisu kumulativno ispunjeni.
BUDGET
Činjenica je da, u skladu s četvrtim uvjetom iz presude Altmark [16], naknada mora biti ograničena na najmanji iznos potreban kako bi se osiguralo da učinkovit poduzetnik ne ispunjuje uvjete za državnu potporu.
The total budget of the measure under assessment is 490401,3 thousand RON, as detailed in Table 1.
Taj se kriterij smatra ispunjenim ako su primatelji naknade odabrani u natječajnom postupku.
OTHER PENDING INVESTIGATION PROCEDURES
U suprotnom, razina naknade mora se odrediti na temelju analize troškova koje bi tipičnom poduzetniku, kojim se dobro upravlja i koji ima odgovarajuća sredstva za ispunjivanje potrebnih zahtjeva javne usluge, nastali u ispunjivanju tih obveza, uzimajući u obzir relevantne prihode i razumnu dobit od ispunjivanja tih obveza.
On 31 July 2015, the Commission opened two formal investigation procedures concerning, inter alia, public funding measures in favour of Cluj-Napoca Airport granted over the period from 2010 to 2014 [14] and Târgu Mureș airport granted from 2011 to 2014 [15], other than those covered by the investigation subject to this Decision.
Komisija je zauzela privremeno stajalište da taj uvjet nije ispunjen jer upravitelji zračnih luka korisnica nisu odabrani u javnom natječajnom postupku.
GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE
Isto tako, Rumunjska nije tvrdila da je iznos naknade utvrđen na temelju analize troškova tipičnog upravitelja zračne luke kojim se dobro upravlja i koji ima odgovarajuća sredstva za pružanje javne usluge.
As explained in recital 4 above, in the opening decision, the Commission decided to initiate the formal investigation procedure in respect to the notified aid and public financing in the period 2007-2009 to cover operating losses.
Stoga Komisija smatra da su na temelju mjere korisnici dobili gospodarsku prednost i došla je do privremenog zaključka da se godišnje operativne subvencije smatraju državnom potporom u smislu članka 107.
Subsequently, following the withdrawal by Romania of its notification of the planned financing scheme of infrastructure investments, the formal investigation procedure remained opened as concerns the public financing granted to Romanian regional airports in the period 2007-2009 (see recital 10 above).
Ugovora.
In the opening decision, the Commission took the preliminary view that the conditions for the compensation for SGEIs not to constitute an advantage within the meaning of Article 107 of the Treaty were not cumulatively met in this case.
Komisija je napomenula i da Rumunjska nije osporila kvalifikaciju mjere kao državne potpore.
Indeed, according to the fourth condition of the Altmark judgement [16], the compensation must be limited to the minimum necessary for an efficient undertaking in order for it to escape State aid qualification.
Kad je riječ o spojivosti mjere, Komisija je izrazila sumnje u pogledu toga jesu li ispunjeni kriteriji utvrđeni Odlukom o uslugama od općega gospodarskog interesa iz 2005., a time i u pogledu toga jesu li operativne subvencije isplaćene zračnim lukama na godišnjoj razini izuzete iz zahtjeva za prijavu, kako je Rumunjska u početku tvrdila.
This criterion is deemed to be fulfilled if the recipients of the compensation have been chosen following a tender procedure Failing that, the level of compensation must be determined on the basis of an analysis of the costs which a typical undertaking, well run and adequately provided with means so as to be able to meet the necessary public service requirements, would have incurred in discharging those obligations, taking into account the relevant revenues and a reasonable profit for discharging the obligations.
U tom smislu Komisija je najprije istaknula da se, kako bi se Odluka o uslugama od općega gospodarskog interesa iz 2005. primjenjivala u posebnim slučajevima, predmetne usluge moraju smatrati stvarnim uslugama od općega gospodarskog interesa i kao takve ih jasno mora odrediti država članica.
The Commission took the preliminary view that this condition was not fulfilled since the operators of the beneficiary airports had not been chosen following a public tender procedure.
Komisija smatra da Rumunjska u ovom slučaju nije dostavila dovoljne informacije kako bi opravdala da se upravljanje s trinaest zračnih luka smatra uslugom od općega gospodarskog interesa u smislu da bi područja koja se služe tim zračnim lukama bila nedovoljno povezana s ostatkom zemlje u slučaju isključivog djelovanja tržišnih sila.
Nor had Romania claimed that the compensation had been set on the basis of an analysis of the costs of a typical airport operator, well run and adequately provided with means to provide the public service.
Komisija, nadalje, smatra da država članica nije usluge zračne luke jasno definirala kao usluge od općega gospodarskog interesa.
Therefore the Commission considered that the measure provided the recipients with an economic advantage and came to the preliminary conclusion that the annual operating subsidies constituted State aid in the meaning of Article 107 of the Treaty.
Komisija je zauzela privremeno stajalište da bi očito dupliciranje regionalnih zračnih luka u Rumunjskoj u istom prihvatnom području moglo biti razlog zbog kojeg te zračne luke ostvaruju gubitke.
The Commission also noted that Romania had not contested the aid qualification of the measure.
U tom je pogledu Komisija navela da nekoliko od tih zračnih luka ima manje od 50000 putnika godišnje i da se međusobno nalaze na zračnoj udaljenosti manjoj od 100 km.
As concerns compatibility of the measure, the Commission had doubts that the criteria laid down by the 2005 SGEI Decision were complied with and therefore that the operating subsidies paid yearly to the airports were exempted from the notification requirement, as initially claimed by Romania.
Stoga je Komisija zauzela stajalište da definicija javne usluge nije dovoljno jasna i da može sadržavati očite greške u smislu da je upravljanje zračnim lukama definirano kao usluga od općega gospodarskog interesa bez stvarne potrebe da se osigura dobra povezanost prihvatnog područja svake zračne luke s ostatkom zemlje.
In this sense, the Commission first noted that in order for the 2005 SGEI Decision to be applicable in specific cases, the services in question must qualify as genuine SGEIs and be clearly defined as such by the Member State.
Komisija je izrazila sumnje i u pogledu toga da su u potpunosti ispunjeni zahtjevi iz članka 4.
The Commission took the view that in this case insufficient information had been provided by Romania to justify that the operation of the thirteen regional airports should be considered SGEI in the sense that the areas served by those airports would be insufficiently connected to the rest of the country if left to the market forces alone.
Odluke o uslugama od općega gospodarskog interesa iz 2005. s obzirom na sadržaj akta o povjeravanju.
The Commission further considered that the airport services had not been clearly defined as SGEIs by the Member State.
Konačno, Komisija je napomenula da, iako su rumunjska tijela potvrdila da su subvencionirane samo ključne djelatnosti zračnih luka, nije dovoljno jasno jesu li doista subvencionirani samo troškovi prihvatljivih djelatnosti.
The Commission took the preliminary view that the apparent duplication of regional airports in Romania within the same catchment area could be a reason why those airports were loss making.
Akti o povjeravanju nisu sadržavali nijednu posebnu odredbu o ograničavanju prihvatljivih troškova na ključne djelatnosti zračnih luka.
To this end, the Commission noted that several of these airports had less than 50000 passengers per year and were located within a linear distance of less than 100 km from each other.
PRIMJEDBE RUMUNJSKE
Therefore the Commission took the view that the definition of the public service was not sufficiently clear and may contain manifest error insofar as the operation of the airports could have been defined as SGEI without an effective need to ensure a proper connection of the catchment area of each airport to the rest of the country.
Primjedbe Rumunjske na odluku o pokretanju postupka uglavnom se odnose na sumnje koje je Komisija izrazila o programu državne potpore za financiranje infrastrukture zračnih luka s godišnjim prometom manjim od jednog milijuna putnika, a čiju je obavijest povukla.
The Commission also had doubts that the requirements of Article 4 of the 2005 SGEI Decision relating to the content of the entrustment act were met in full.
U pogledu javnog financiranja rumunjskih regionalnih zračnih luka, kao odgovor na stajalište Komisije da bi očita prekomjernost zračnih luka u određenim regijama mogla omesti razvoj predmetnih zračnih luka, Rumunjska je tvrdila da je situacija regionalnih zračnih luka (s malim prometom koji im ne dopušta ostvarivanje određene profitabilnosti) ponajprije prouzročena razvojem regija u kojima se te zračne luke nalaze, a ne udaljenošću od susjednih zračnih luka.
Finally, the Commission noted that although the Romanian authorities have confirmed that only core activities of the airports were being subsidized, it was not sufficiently clear whether in fact only the costs of eligible activities had been subsidized.
U pogledu javnog financiranja na temelju Odluke Vlade 398/1997 Rumunjska je pojasnila da iznosi nisu isplaćeni na početku godine na temelju predviđenih gubitaka i da nije točno da se višak ne vraća državi na kraju financijske godine, kako je navedeno u odluci o pokretanju postupka, već se takva financijska sredstva dodjeljuju u trenutku provedbe djelatnosti na temelju opravdanih razloga i u okviru odobrenog proračuna.
No specific provision to restrict eligible costs to the core activities of the airports was included in the acts of entrustment.
PRIMJEDBE ZAINTERESIRANIH STRANA
COMMENTS FROM ROMANIA
PRIMJEDBE PRIJEVOZNIKA CARPATAIR
Romania's comments on the opening decision mainly referred to the doubts raised by the Commission on the State aid scheme for the financing of infrastructure for airports with annual traffic of less than 1 million passengers, whose notification has been withdrawn.
Primjedbe zračnog prijevoznika Carpatair dijelom se odnose javno financiranje zračne luke Temišvar i prijevoznika Wizz Air.
As regards the public funding to Romanian regional airports, in reply to the view of Commission according to which the apparent overabundance of airports in certain regions may hinder the development of the airports in question, Romania submitted that the situation of regional airports (with low traffic which does not allow them to reach a level of profitability) was primarily due to the state of development of the regions where those airports were located, rather than to the distance to neighbouring airports.
Kako je objašnjeno u uvodnoj izjavi 15., javno financiranje zračne luke Temišvar i prijevoznika Wizz Air predmet je drugog službenog istražnog postupka [17].
Regarding the public financing on the basis of the Government Decision 398/1997/EC, Romania clarified that amounts are not paid at the beginning of the year on the basis of forecasts of costs and any surplus is not returned to the State at the end of the financial year as stated in the opening decision, but that such financing is granted at the moment when the activities are undertaken based on justifications and within the limits of the approved budget.
U nastavku će Komisija stoga samo sažeti primjedbe prijevoznika Carpatair koje se odnose na ovaj predmet.
COMMENTS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES
Carpatair tvrdi da se operativna potpora uglavnom smatra nezakonitom i suprotnom interesima EU-a te da bi se trebala dodijeliti samo u iznimnim okolnostima.
COMMENTS FROM CARPATAIR
Carpatair smatra da bi dodjeljivanje operativne potpore zračnim lukama narušilo industriju zbog sljedećih razloga:
Carpatair's comments partially refer to public financing to Timișoara airport and Wizz Air.
nastalo bi nepošteno tržišno natjecanje između zračnih luka u EU-u i omogućilo bi se da zračna luka koja prima državnu potporu privlači zračne prijevoznike tako što će nuditi popuste na naknade zračne luke.
As explained in recital 15, public financing of Timișoara airport and Wizz Air is subject to another formal investigation procedure [17].
Za zračne luke koje ne primaju potporu ne bi bilo moguće učinkovito tržišno natjecanje za zračne prijevoznike;
In what follows the Commission will therefore only summarise Carpatair's comments with relevance to the present case.
mjerom bi se potaknulo zračne luke koje primaju operativnu potporu da odobravaju velike popuste na naknade zračne luke, a takvi se popusti ne bi odobravali da zračne luke postupaju u skladu s tržišnim uvjetima.
Carpatair submits that operating aid is generally considered illegal and against EU interest, and should only be granted in exceptional circumstances.
Carpatair ističe da operativna potpora ima negativan učinak na tržišta zračnog prijevoza i usluga zračnih luka jer dovodi do nepoštenog tržišnog natjecanja među zračnim lukama i, u konačnici, do nepoštenog tržišnog natjecanja među zračnim prijevoznicima koji posluju u tim zračnim lukama.
Granting operating aid to airports would in Carpatair's view be disruptive for the industry, for the following reasons:
Prema tome, operativna potpora uzrokuje nepošteno tržišno natjecanje između zračnih luka u Rumunjskoj te negativno utječe i na zračne luke u susjednim zemljama, kao što je Mađarska.
it would create unfair competition between EU airports and allow an airport benefitting from State aid to attract air carriers by offering discounts on airport charges.
PRIMJEDBE UDRUŽENJA RAA
Airports not benefitting from aid would be unable to compete for carriers effectively;
RAA je neprofitan subjekt privatnog prava koji zastupa rumunjske civilne zračne luke.
the measure would urge airports that receive operating aid to grant high discounts to airport charges, and such discounts would not be granted if the airports acted on market terms.
Primjedbe udruženja RAA na odluku o pokretanju postupka usmjerene su na aspekte povezane s programom državne potpore za financiranje infrastrukture.
Carpatair points out that operating aid has a negative effect on the air transport and airport services markets as it leads to unfair competition between airports and ultimately unfair competition between airlines operating from those airports.
RAA u biti navodi da infrastruktura većine regionalnih zračnih luka u Rumunjskoj zahtijeva obnovu i da znatno zaostaje za infrastrukturom u zračnim lukama drugih država članica EU-a.
As such, operating aid causes unfair competition between airports in Romania and also affects negatively airports in neighbouring countries such as Hungary.
RAA navodi da bi javno financiranje za unaprjeđenje infrastrukture zračnih luka bilo opravdano u izostanku mogućeg i pouzdanog alternativnog prijevoza u Rumunjskoj (ne postoje autoceste ni brzi vlakovi).
COMMENTS FROM RAA
PRIMJEDBE ZRAČNE LUKE CLUJ – NAPOCA
RAA is a non-profit private law legal entity representing Romanian civil airports.
Zračna luka Cluj – Napoca navodi da su sredstva javnog financiranja koja joj je dodijelilo lokalno vijeće služila samo za subvencioniranje negospodarskih djelatnosti i stoga nisu obuhvaćena područjem primjene članka 107. stavka 1.
RAA comments on the opening decision focus on the aspects related to the State aid scheme for the financing of infrastructure.
Ugovora.
RAA essentially submits that the infrastructure of most regional airports in Romania requires updating and is well below that of airports of other EU Member States.
Točnije, predmetni iznosi vjerojatno su bili namijenjeni pokrivanju troškova određenih negospodarskih djelatnosti koje se provode u prostorima zračne luke (kao što su granična kontrola, specijalna jedinica vojske, carina, policija, specijalna jedinica za zrakoplovstvo), kao i troškova pomoćne infrastrukture i opreme, uključujući održavanje, unaprjeđenje, upravljanje infrastrukturom, troškove pomoćnih usluga koje pruža zračna luka, sprječavanje požara, pomoć u hitnim situacijama, sigurnosne mjere.
According to RAA, public funding to upgrade airport infrastructure would be justified by the absence of feasible and reliable transport alternative in Romania (no motorways nor high speed trains).
Zračna luka Cluj – Napoca navodi da su ti troškovi u nadležnosti države u izvršenju njezinih službenih ovlasti i stoga nisu obuhvaćene područjem primjene pravila o državnim potporama.
COMMENTS FROM CLUJ-NAPOCA AIRPORT
Zračna luka nadalje je dostavila primjedbu da u razdoblju 2007. – 2009. nije zabilježila operativne gubitke.
According to Cluj-Napoca airport, the public funding granted to it by the local council served to subsidise only non-economic activities and hence fell outside the scope of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
PRIMJEDBE RUMUNJSKE NA PRIMJEDBE ZAINTERESIRANIH STRANA
According to Cluj-Napoca airport, those costs fall under State responsibility in the exercise of its official powers and therefore do not fall within the scope of the rules on State aid.
Iako su se te primjedbe isključivo odnosile na prijavljeni program državne potpore za infrastrukturna ulaganja, neke su od njih relevantne za ocjenu operativnih subvencija koje se ocjenjuju u okviru ove Odluke.
The airport further submitted that in the period 2007-2009 the airport recorded no operating losses.
Te su primjedbe sažete u nastavku.
ROMANIA'S COMMENTS ON INTERESTED PARTIES COMMENTS
niti će udaljenost između tih zračnih luka ikako utjecati na njihov razvoj.
Although these comments exclusively referred to the notified State aid scheme for infrastructure investments, some of those comments are of relevance for the assessment of the operating subsidies under assessment in this Decision.
OCJENA POTPORE
Romania submits that most of the Romanian regional airports have an annual traffic of less than 50000 passengers and none of these airports will exceed 300000 passengers by 2015.
Komisija smatra primjerenim zatvoriti ovaj istražni postupak za sve zračne luke koje su njime obuhvaćene, osim za zračne luke Cluj – Napoca i Târgu Mureș.
On this basis, Romania considers that public support to those airports is unlikely to affect competition and distort trade between Member States.
POSTOJANJE POTPORE
Nor would the distance between those airports affect their development in any way, according to Romania.
U skladu s člankom 107. stavkom 1.
This is because even in those cases where the linear distance between the airports is less than 100 km, the travelling time is generally over 2 hours such that the airports in question exert no competitive pressure on each other.
Ugovora svaka potpora koju dodijeli država članica ili koja se dodjeljuje putem državnih sredstava u bilo kojem obliku kojim se narušava ili prijeti da će se narušiti tržišno natjecanje stavljanjem određenih poduzetnika ili proizvodnje određene robe u povoljniji položaj nespojiva je s unutarnjim tržištem u mjeri u kojoj utječe na trgovinu među državama članicama, osim ako je Ugovorom drukčije predviđeno.
ASSESSMENT OF THE AID
Kriteriji utvrđeni u članku 107. stavku 1.
As explained in recital 10 above, following the withdrawal by Romania of its notification of the planned financing scheme of infrastructure investments, the formal investigation procedure remained open as concerns the public funding granted to Romanian regional airports in the period 2007-2009.
Ugovora kumulativni su.
The assessment set out below therefore concerns that measure.
Stoga, kako bi se odlučilo smatraju li se mjere koje su predmet ispitivanja državnom potporom u smislu članka 107. stavka 1.
In the light of the decisions to open a formal investigation for Cluj-Napoca Airport and Târgu Mureș airport adopted on 31 July 2015 (see point 39 above), the Commission considers appropriate to close the present investigation for all airports subject to it, except for Cluj-Napoca airport and Târgu Mureș airport.
Ugovora, svi prethodno navedeni uvjeti moraju biti ispunjeni.
The Commission intends to close investigation SA.30931 with respect to those two airports together with the investigations opened on 31 July 2015.
Točnije, za financijsku potporu moraju biti ispunjeni sljedeći uvjeti:
Consequently, the assessment set out below only applies to the measures granted to the 11 other airports.
dodijelila ju je država ili je dodijeljena iz državnih sredstava;
EXISTENCE OF AID
njome se u povlašteni položaj stavljaju određena poduzeća ili proizvodnja određene robe;
Pursuant to Article 107(1) of the Treaty, any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the provision of certain goods, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, shall be incompatible with the internal market save as otherwise provided by the Treaty.
njome se narušava ili prijeti da će se narušiti tržišno natjecanje;
The criteria laid down in Article 107(1) of the Treaty are cumulative.
njome se utječe na trgovinu među državama članicama.
Therefore, in order to determine whether the measures under scrutiny constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty, all the above mentioned conditions need to be fulfilled.
Gospodarska djelatnost i koncept poduzetnika
Namely, the financial support:
U skladu s ustaljenom sudskom praksom Komisija najprije mora utvrditi jesu li upravitelji zračnih luka poduzetnici u smislu članka 107. stavka 1.
is granted by the State or through State resources;
Ugovora.
favours certain undertakings or the production of certain goods;
Konceptom poduzetnika obuhvaćen je svaki subjekt koji obavlja gospodarsku djelatnost, bez obzira na njegov pravni oblik i način na koji se financira [18].
