As regards Side Letter No 1, Germany submitted that it was in line with market conditions and did not entail an advantage for Ryanair.
Njemačka je tvrdila da je FLG djelovao autonomno i bez utjecaja države.
Germany argued with reference to the Helaba I case, that there was no advantage when other operators of regional airports offered Ryanair similar conditions.
Njemačka je navela da FLG nije bio integriran u strukture javne uprave.
Germany further argued that this was proven by Ryanair's comparator analysis.
Osim toga, Njemačka je navela da je nadzor tijela javne vlasti nad upravljanjem FLG-om bio ograničen na zrakoplovstvo i pitanja javne politike te nije uključivao djelatnosti upravljanja poslovanjem.
Germany argued that low-cost carriers, such as Ryanair and Wizz Air, have fewer demands with regards to ground handling services and infrastructure services.
PRIMJEDBE ZAINTERESIRANIH STRANA
Firstly, at Lübeck airport fewer check-in counters were needed because check-in with Ryanair is available to passengers online.
FLG je naveo da mjere nisu bile pripisive Njemačkoj jer je autonomno pregovarao o ugovorima.
Secondly, there were no passenger buses.
Ryanair je tvrdio da ugovori iz 2010. nisu bili pripisivi državi.
Thirdly, since walking distances are shorter at Lübeck airport, the time for Ryanair airplanes on the ground was shorter.
Ryanair je naveo da je ugovor s FLG-om sklopljen na temelju razmatranja gospodarskih čimbenika.
Fourthly, there were no transfer flights and fewer pieces of luggage per person, which meant that there did not have to be facilities for such purposes.
Zračna luka Lübeck smatrala se održivom sekundarnom zračnom lukom uz zračnu luku Hamburg, a sam se grad Lübeck smatrao vrijednim kulturnim odredištem.
As regards Side Letter No 2, Germany pointed out that this agreement was an extension, without substantial changes, of the 2000 Agreement.
Ryanair je objasnio da su usluge koje je pružao u zračnoj luci Lübeck prekinute zbog komercijalnih razloga, uključujući povećane troškove i prinose manje od očekivanih (kao posljedica gospodarske recesije).
Germany took the view that the 2000 Agreement complied with the Market Economy Operator test.
Ryanair je naveo da su regionalne zračne luke u Uniji u teškom tržišnom položaju.
Furthermore, Germany is of the opinion that the alleged advantages in favour of Ryanair could not be imputed to the State based on the ruling in Stardust Marine.
Stoga je u obzir trebalo uzeti prihode zračne luke od zrakoplovnih i nezrakoplovnih djelatnosti, što je poznato kao „pristup jedne blagajne”.
According to Germany, FLG acted with autonomy and without any exertion of influence by the State.
Budući da ugovori sa zračnim prijevoznikom Ryanair obično obećavaju velik broj putnika, zahvaljujući takvim poslovnim odnosima često se povećava prepoznatljivost zračne luke i privlače se drugi zračni prijevoznici te maloprodajne trgovine i pružatelji drugih usluga.
Germany stated that FLG was not integrated into the structures of the public administration.
Osim toga, Ryanair je naveo da su postojali čvrsti dokazi za to da bi povećanje broja putnika dovelo do povećanja prihoda od nezrakoplovnih djelatnosti.
In addition, Germany stated that the supervision by the public authorities of the management of FLG was limited to aviation and public remit matters and did not include business management activities.
Ryanair je tvrdio da bi, sa stajališta subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu, svaka komercijalna ponuda obično bila poboljšanje u odnosu na postojeće stanje, sve dok se očekuje da će granične koristi premašiti njegove granične troškove.
COMMENTS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES
Nadalje, Ryanair je tvrdio da je trebalo uzeti u obzir da taj prijevoznik ima znatno manje potrebe u odnosu na druge zračne prijevoznike s obzirom na njegov poslovni model i operativnu učinkovitost.
FLG stated that the measures were not imputable to Germany, since the agreements were negotiated by it autonomously.
Ryanair je proveo usporedbu zračnih luka slične veličine i u sličnoj situaciji kao što je zračna luka Lübeck.
Ryanair argued that the 2010 Agreements were not imputable to the State.
Usporedive su zračne luke zračna luka Bournemouth, zračna luka Grenoble, zračna luka Knock, zračna luka Maastricht, zračna luka Nîmes i zračna luka Prestwick.
Furthermore, Ryanair argued that there was no selectivity, since the 2010 Agreements were merely short side letters extending the duration of the existing arrangements under the 2000 Agreement.
Usporedba naknada koje je Ryanair plaćao u usporedivim zračnim lukama pokazala je da su troškovi koje je Ryanair plaćao u zračnoj luci Lübeck bili općenito veći od prosječne razine troškova u usporedivim zračnim lukama, ne samo po putniku nego i po operaciji prihvata i otpreme.
The only new element was a commercially negotiated adjustment to the marketing support.
Oxera navodi da bi to bio slučaj čak i da se ugovor o marketinškim uslugama s AMS-om razmatra zajedno s popratnim pismima iz 2010. i da su uključeni troškovi, ali ne i prihodi povezani s AMS-om.
Ryanair stated that the contract with FLG was entered into on the basis of economic considerations.
Kad je riječ o ugovoru o marketinškim uslugama s AMS-om, Ryanair je tvrdio da su takvi ugovori korisni za obje stranke zbog popularnosti web-mjesta zračnog prijevoznika Ryanair i povezane povećane međunarodne prepoznatljivosti, jačanja trgovačke marke i povećanja broja putnika, što je potvrđeno drugim izvješćem društva Oxera od 26. rujna 2014.
Lübeck airport was seen as a viable secondary airport to Hamburg airport and Lübeck itself was regarded as a valuable cultural destination.
Air Berlin je naveo da su linije koje Ryanair nudi iz zračne luke Lübeck u izravnom tržišnom natjecanju s onima koje Air Berlin nudi u zračnoj luci Hamburg.
Ryanair explained that its services from Lübeck airport were discontinued because of commercial considerations, including cost increases and a yield lower than anticipated (as a consequence of economic recession).
Air Berlin je tvrdio da je tržišna strategija zračnog prijevoznika Ryanair usmjerena na vrbovanje potencijalnih klijenata zračnog prijevoznika Air Berlin i drugih.
Ryanair stated that regional airports in the Union are in a difficult market position.
Zbog niskih cijena zračnog prijevoznika Ryanair klijenti su iz zračne luke Hamburg prešli u zračnu luku Lübeck.
Therefore, airport revenues from both aeronautical and non-aeronautical activities had to be taken into consideration, which is referred to as the ‘single-till approach’.
Air Berlin tvrdi da je zbog državne potpore pretrpio znatne ekonomske gubitke.
Since contracts with Ryanair typically promise a large number of passengers, such business relations often help to raise the airport's recognisability and to attract other airlines as well as retail outlets and other service providers.
Air Berlin je morao ukinuti neke svoje letove zbog slične ponude zračnog prijevoznika Ryanair u zračnoj luci Lübeck.
In addition, Ryanair stated that there was strong evidence that the increased number of passengers would lead to a rise in non-aeronautical revenues.
Osim toga, Air Berlin je naveo da mu je bilo teško uspostavljati letove prema novim odredištima iz zračne luke Hamburg dok je Ryanair nudio slična odredišta iz zračne luke Lübeck po pretjerano niskim cijenama.
Ryanair argued that, from a Market Economy Operator viewpoint, any commercial offer would normally be an improvement over the existing situation, as long as it expected marginal benefits to exceed its marginal costs.
Air Berlin je naveo i da se ugovor sa zračnim prijevoznikom Ryanair može pripisati Njemačkoj.
Furthermore, Ryanair argued that it had to be considered that Ryanair has significantly reduced needs compared to other airlines given its business model and operational efficiency.
U skladu sa statutom FLG-a nadzorni odbor morao je odobriti troškove koji proizlaze iz upotrebe zračne luke (članak 12. statuta).
Ryanair conducted a comparison between airports of comparable size and situation as Lübeck airport.
Hansestadt Lübeck birao je četiri od šest članova nadzornog odbora.
Comparator airports are Bournemouth Airport, Grenoble Airport, Knock Airport, Maastricht Airport, Nîmes Airport and Prestwick Airport.
Stoga je Air Berlin zaključio da se Hansestadt Lübeck može smatrati odgovornim.
A comparison of charges paid by Ryanair at the comparator airports showed that costs paid by Ryanair at Lübeck airport were higher in general than the average level at the comparator airports on both a per-passenger and a per-turnaround basis.
Air Berlin navodi da je još jedan razlog za zabrinutost bio ugovor o marketinškim uslugama između AMS-a i FLG-a jer se čini da koristi od „marketinške podrške” nisu povezane sa stvarnim marketinškim troškovima koje je zabilježio Ryanair.
Ryanair submitted two Oxera reports evaluating the expected profitability of the 2010 Side Letters.
PRIMJEDBE NJEMAČKE NA PODNESKE TREĆIH STRANA
Both reports were based on a business plan, drawn up by Lübeck airport in 2010 prior to signing the 2010 Side Letters.
Primjedbe na podneske zračnog prijevoznika Ryanair
The reports indicate that, under reasonable assumptions at the time when the 2010 Side Letters were signed, the agreements were both expected to be sufficiently profitable and an airport behaving in the manner of a Market Economy Operator would have been likely to offer similar terms.
Njemačka navodi da podnesci zračnog prijevoznika Ryanair otkrivaju da je zračna luka Lübeck postupala u skladu s načelom subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu.
According to Oxera, this would even be the case if the marketing services agreement with AMS were to be considered jointly with the 2010 Side Letters and the costs but not the AMS-related revenues were included.
Njemačka posebno ističe koliko je koristan pristup zračnog prijevoznika Ryanair koji uključuje dokazivanje usklađenosti ugovorâ s tržištem analizom profitabilnosti i analizom usporedivih zračnih luka.
With regards to the marketing services agreement with AMS, Ryanair argued that such agreements are mutually beneficial due to the popularity of Ryanair's website and the consequent increases in international recognition, brand building and passengers, which was substantiated by another Oxera report of 26 September 2014.
Njemačka smatra da popratna pisma iz 2010. nisu bila pripisiva državi jer je FLG o njima autonomno pregovarao i sklopio ih, bez uplitanja grada Hansestadt Lübeck.
Air Berlin stated that the routes offered by Ryanair from Lübeck airport were in direct competition with those offered by Air Berlin at Hamburg airport.
Nadalje, u pogledu drugog popratnog pisma Njemačka je istaknula da je njime samo produljen ugovor iz 2000. i da ne sadržava nikakve bitne promjene.
In particular, the destinations of London, Milan and Barcelona were concerned, since both airlines had them in their portfolio.
Stoga su bili relevantni svi argumenti izneseni s obzirom na ugovor iz 2000.
Air Berlin argued that the purpose of Ryanair's marketing strategy was to poach potential clients of, amongst others, Air Berlin.
Njemačka je navela da ne razumije zašto je ugovor o marketinškim uslugama između FLG-a i AMS-a uključen u istražni postupak u pogledu državne potpore jer FLG u okviru tog ugovora nije trošio nikakva javna sredstva.
Due to the low prices of Ryanair, customers moved from Hamburg to Lübeck airport.
Troškovi utvrđeni u ugovoru o marketinškim uslugama sklopljenom s AMS-om bili su pokriveni privatnim izvorima jer je novac osigurao Industrie- und Handelskammer Lübeck, koji zastupa privatna društva u Lübecku.
Air Berlin claims that as a result of the State aid, Air Berlin suffered substantial economic losses.
Nadalje, Njemačka je navela da se ugovor o marketinškim uslugama sklopljen s AMS-om može smatrati usklađenim s tržišnim standardima.
Air Berlin had to discontinue some of its flights due to the parallel offer by Ryanair at Lübeck airport.
To potkrepljuje primjedba da je FLG plaćao manje troškove od drugih zračnih luka koje su sklopile slične ugovore.
In addition, Air Berlin stated that it found it difficult to open new destinations from Hamburg airport as long as similar destinations were offered by Ryanair from Lübeck airport at excessively low prices.
Osim toga, predmetni ugovor o marketinškim uslugama temeljio se na obećanju zračnog prijevoznika Ryanair da će svoj portfelj letova proširiti za dva odredišta.
Additionally, Air Berlin stated that the agreement with Ryanair was imputable to Germany.
Njemačka je kao dodatni argument navela i funkciju zračne luke Lübeck kao pomoćne zračne luke za zračnu luku Hamburg i kao nužne prometne infrastrukture za sjevernu Njemačku.
According to the articles of association of FLG, the supervisory board had to give its approval for charges resulting from the use of the airport (paragraph 12 of the articles of association).
Primjedbe na podneske prijevoznika Air Berlin
Four of the six members of the supervisory board were elected by Hansestadt Lübeck.
Njemačka navodi da bi Air Berlin bio dobio iste prednosti kao Ryanair da je ispunio iste kriterije u pogledu broja putnika i učestalosti letova.
Therefore, Air Berlin concluded that Hansestadt Lübeck could be held responsible.
Umjesto toga, Air Berlin je odbio sve ponuđene pregovore s FLG-om jer nikad nije namjeravao početi pružati usluge u zračnoj luci Lübeck.
According to Air Berlin, a further point of concern was the marketing services agreement between AMS and FLG, since the benefits from ‘marketing support’ appear to be unrelated to the actual marketing expenditures incurred by Ryanair.
Air Berlin se nikad nije usprotivio uvjetima u kojima je Ryanair poslovao u zračnoj luci Hamburg.
COMMENTS OF GERMANY ON THIRD PARTIES' SUBMISSIONS
Osim toga, nekoliko zračnih prijevoznika uputilo je pritužbe (među ostalim i Komisiji) da je Air Berlin ostvarivao koristi od znatne državne potpore Ujedinjenih Arapskih Emirata.
Comments on Ryanair's submissions
Stoga se ne može predstavljati kao žrtva u odnosu na Ryanair, svojeg glavnog konkurenta.
According to Germany, Ryanair's submissions reveal that airport Lübeck acted in accordance with the Market Economy Operator principle.
Njemačka se nije složila s primjedbama prijevoznika Air Berlin o postojanju tržišnog natjecanja između zračnih luka Lübeck i Hamburg.
Germany particularly highlights the usefulness of Ryanair's approach of proving the market conformity of the agreements through a profitability analysis and a comparator analysis.
Konkretno, Njemačka je uputila na činjenicu da je 2000. u zračnoj luci Hamburg bilo 70 puta više putnika nego u zračnoj luci Lübeck.
According to Germany, the 2010 Side Letters were not imputable to the State since they were autonomously negotiated and entered into by FLG, without interference of Hansestadt Lübeck.
Izostanak pritužbi drugih zračnih luka pokazao je da nije bilo tržišnog natjecanja između tih dviju zračnih luka.
Furthermore, with regard to Side Letter No 2, Germany pointed out that it merely constituted an extension of the 2000 Agreement, without containing any material change.
Nadalje, Njemačka je odbila argument zračnog prijevoznika Air Berlin da je postojala gospodarska prednost za Ryanair.
Therefore, all arguments put forward in relation to the 2000 Agreement were relevant.
Njemačka je navela da je Air Berlin upotrijebio netočne izračune i da je načelo subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu jedini test primjeren za ocjenu tržišne usklađenosti ugovora između zračne luke i zračnog prijevoznika.
Germany stated that it does not understand why the marketing services agreement between FLG and AMS was included in the State aid investigation, since FLG did not spend any public funds in the framework of this agreement.
OCJENA MJERA
The costs laid down in the marketing services agreement with AMS were covered by private sources, as the money came from the Industrie- und Handelskammer Lübeck, a representation of private companies in Lübeck.
Člankom 107. stavkom 1.
Moreover, Germany commented that the marketing services agreement with AMS could be regarded as conforming to market standards.
Ugovora propisano je da je svaka potpora koju dodijeli država članica ili koja se dodjeljuje putem državnih sredstava u bilo kojem obliku koja narušava ili prijeti da će narušiti tržišno natjecanje stavljanjem određenih poduzetnika ili proizvodnje određene robe u povoljniji položaj nespojiva s unutarnjim tržištem u mjeri u kojoj utječe na trgovinu među državama članicama.
This is supported by the observation that FLG was charged with lower costs than other airports with a similar agreement.
Kriteriji utvrđeni u članku 107. stavku 1.
What is more, the marketing agreement in question was based on the promise of Ryanair to expand its flight portfolio by two destinations.
Ugovora kumulativni su.
Another point added by Germany is the function of Lübeck airport as a back-up airport for Hamburg airport and as a necessary transport infrastructure for northern Germany.
Stoga, kako bi se odredilo čini li neka mjera državnu potporu, moraju biti ispunjeni sljedeći uvjeti:
Comments on Air Berlin's submissions
korisnik je poduzetnik,
According to Germany, Air Berlin would have been granted the same advantages as Ryanair if it had fulfilled the same criteria concerning passenger numbers and flight frequency.
mjerom se daje prednost,
Instead, Air Berlin refused any offer for negotiations with FLG, since it never intended to take up services at Lübeck airport.
prednost se dodjeljuje iz državnih sredstava,
Air Berlin never objected to the conditions under which Ryanair operated at Hamburg airport.
prednost je selektivna, i
In addition, several airlines had complained (amongst others to the Commission) that Air Berlin had been benefitting from substantial State aid by the United Arabic Emirates.
mjerom se narušava ili prijeti da će se narušiti tržišno natjecanje i ona može utjecati na trgovinu među državama članicama.
Therefore, it cannot present itself as a victim vis-à-vis its main competitor Ryanair.
Gospodarska djelatnost i pojam poduzetnika
Germany disagreed with Air Berlin's comments concerning the existence of competition between Lübeck airport and Hamburg airport.
Pojmom poduzetnika obuhvaćen je svaki subjekt koji obavlja gospodarsku djelatnost, bez obzira na njegov pravni oblik i način na koji se financira.
In particular, Germany referred to the fact that Hamburg had 70 times as many passengers as Lübeck airport in 2000.
Sve djelatnosti koje se sastoje od ponude robe ili usluga na određenom tržištu gospodarske su djelatnosti.
The absence of complaints by other airports showed that there was no competition between the two airports.
Budući da je Ryanair privatno društvo koje pruža usluge zračnog prijevoza u zamjenu za naknadu kako bi ostvarilo dobit, Ryanair je poduzetnik koji obavlja gospodarsku djelatnost.
Furthermore, Germany rejected Air Berlin's argument that there was an economic advantage for Ryanair.
Stoga se smatra poduzetnikom u smislu članka 107. stavka 1.
Germany stated that Air Berlin used inaccurate calculations and that the only test relevant for assessing whether an airport-airline agreement was market conform was the Market Economy Operator principle.
Ugovora.
ASSESSMENT OF THE MEASURES
Gospodarska prednost
Article 107(1) of the Treaty provides that 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 production of certain goods shall, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, be incompatible with the internal market.
Prednost u smislu članka 107. stavka 1.
The criteria laid down in Article 107(1) of the Treaty are cumulative.
Ugovora svaka je gospodarska korist koju poduzetnik ne bi mogao ostvariti u uobičajenim tržišnim uvjetima, odnosno bez intervencije države.
Therefore, in order to determine whether a measure constitutes State aid, the following conditions have to be fulfilled:
Ako zračna luka ima na raspolaganju javna sredstva, potpora zračnom prijevozniku može, u načelu, biti isključena kada je odnos između zračne luke i zračnog prijevoznika u skladu s uobičajenim tržišnim uvjetima.
the beneficiary is an undertaking,
Taj takozvani „test subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu” slijedi osnovni koncept da bi ponašanje javnih tijela trebalo usporediti s ponašanjem sličnih privatnih gospodarskih subjekata u uobičajenim tržišnim uvjetima kako bi se odredilo daje li se nekim ugovorom prednost drugoj strani.
the measure confers an advantage,
Uvodne napomene o testu subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu
the advantage is granted through State resources,
U skladu s točkom 53.
the advantage is selective, and
Smjernica za zračni prijevoz iz 2014. postojanje potpore za zračnog prijevoznika koji upotrebljava određenu zračnu luku može se, u načelu, isključiti kad cijena koja se zaračunava za usluge zračne luke odgovara tržišnoj cijeni („prvi pristup” – usporedba s tržišnom cijenom).
the measure distorts or threatens to distort competition and is liable to affect trade between Member States.
Drugi je pristup da se ex ante analizom, odnosno analizom koja se temelji na informacijama dostupnima u trenutku dodjeljivanja potpore i na događajima koje je u to vrijeme bilo moguće predvidjeti, dokaže da će dogovor dovesti do pozitivnog dodatnog doprinosa dobiti za zračnu luku i da je on dio cjelokupne strategije koja bi barem dugoročno dovela do profitabilnosti („drugi pristup” – ex ante analiza profitabilnosti).
Economic activity and notion of undertaking
Kad je riječ o prvom pristupu Komisija ne smatra da se trenutačno može utvrditi odgovarajuća referentna vrijednost koja bi omogućila određivanje istinske tržišne cijene usluga koje pružaju zračne luke.
The concept of an undertaking covers any entity engaged in an economic activity, regardless of its legal status and the way in which it is financed.
Stoga ex ante analizu dodatne profitabilnosti smatra najrelevantnijim pristupom za ocjenu dogovora koje zračne luke zaključuju s pojedinačnim zračnim prijevoznicima.
Any activity consisting in offering goods or services on a given market is an economic activity.
Trebalo bi napomenuti da se primjena načela subjekta u tržišnom gospodarstvu na bazi prosječne cijene na drugim sličnim tržištima u načelu može pokazati korisnom ako se ta cijena može razumno utvrditi ili izvesti iz drugih pokazatelja na tržištu.
Since Ryanair is a private company that provides air transport services for remuneration with the aim of making profits, Ryanair is an undertaking that is engaged in an economic activity.
Međutim, relevantnost te metode ograničena je u slučaju usluga zračnih luka jer se zračne luke međusobno obično znatno razlikuju po strukturi troškova i prihoda.
It is therefore an undertaking within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
To je zato što troškovi i prihodi ovise o stupnju razvijenosti zračne luke, o broju zračnih prijevoznika koji upotrebljavaju zračnu luku, njezinu kapacitetu u pogledu putničkog prometa, stanju infrastrukture i povezanih ulaganja, regulatornom okviru koji se može razlikovati od jedne države članice do druge i dugovanjima ili obvezama koje je zračna luka preuzela u prošlosti.
Economic advantage
Osim toga, liberalizacija tržišta zračnog prijevoza otežava svaku strogo usporednu analizu.
An advantage within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty is any economic benefit which an undertaking could not have obtained under normal market conditions, that is to say in the absence of State intervention.
Kako se može vidjeti u ovom predmetu, poslovne prakse između zračnih luka i zračnih prijevoznika ne temelje se uvijek isključivo na objavljenom cjeniku.
Where an airport has public resources at its disposal, aid to an airline can, in principle, be excluded where the relationship between the airport and the airline is carried out in line with normal market conditions.
Naprotiv, ti se poslovni odnosi uvelike međusobno razlikuju.
