In view of the considerations in recitals 536 to 541, the Commission considers that any undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States are limited to the minimum.
Cauza C-118/85, Comisia/Italia, Rec., 1987, p. 2599, punctele 7 și 8 și cauza C-30/87 Bodson/Pompes funèbres des régions libérées, Rec., 1988, p. 2479, punctul 18.
The Commission must establish whether the State aid granted to Frankfurt Hahn Airport has changed the behaviour of the beneficiary in such a way that it engaged in activity contributing to the achievement of the objective of common interest that (i) it would not have carried out without the aid, or (ii) it would have carried out in a more restricted or different manner.
Cauza C-343/95 Cali & Figli/Servizi Ecologici Porto di Genova, Rec., 1997, p.
In addition, the aid is considered to be proportionate only if the same result could not be reached with less aid and less distortion.
I-1547, decizia nr.
That means that the amount and intensity of the aid must be limited to the minimum needed for the aided activity to take place.
N309/2002 a Comisiei din 19 martie 2003, decizia N438/2002 a Comisiei din 16 octombrie 2002, „Ajutor acordat ca sprijin pentru funcțiile autorităților publice în sectorul portuar belgian”.
According to the information submitted by Germany, without the aid the investment could not have been realised.
Decizia N309/2002 a Comisiei din 19 martie 2003.
Germany submitted that the aid was necessary as it compensated only the costs of financing and a lower amount would have led to lower levels of investment.
A se vedea, în special, cauza C-364/92, SAT Fluggesellschaft/Eurocontrol, Rec., 1994, p.
Indeed, according to the financial results summarised in Tables 3 and 4 the airport is still loss-making and not able to finance its investment costs.
I43, punctul 30 și cauza C-113/07 P, Selex Sistemi Integrati/Comisia, Rep., 2009, p.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the aid was necessary to make investments in order to decongest the airport infrastructure and to meet the current requirements for modern airport infrastructure.
I-2207, punctul 71.
Without the aid, Frankfurt Hahn airport would not have been able to meet the expected demand of airlines, passengers and freight forwarders and the level of the economic activity of the airport would have been reduced.
A se vedea, inter alia, cauza C-172/03 Wolfgang Heiser/Finanzamt Innsbruck, Rec., 2005, p.
It should also be noted that the public support was granted in a period when FFHG realised very significant investments into the infrastructure (more than EUR 220 million in 2001-2012).
I-01627, punctul 36, și jurisprudența citată.
It follows that the investment aid covers only a fraction of the overall investment costs.
Cauza T-196/04, Ryanair/Comisia, Rep., 2008, p.
The Commission therefore considers that the aid measure at stake had an incentive effect, that the amount of aid was limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place, and was thus proportionate.
II-3643, punctul 59.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concludes that the investment aid granted to Frankfurt Hahn airport is compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty as it complies with the compatibility conditions laid down in point 61 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
A se vedea Decizia 2011/60/UE a Comisiei din 27 ianuarie 2010 privind ajutorul de stat C 12/08 (ex NN 74/07) – Slovacia – Acord între aeroportul din Bratislava și Ryanair (JO L 27, 1.2.2011, p. 24).
COMPATIBILITY OF OPERATING AID PURSUANT TO THE 2014 AVIATION GUIDELINES
Cauza C-482/99, Franța/Comisia, Rec., 2002, p.
Section 5.1 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) of the Treaty.
I-04397, punctul 71 („hotărârea Stardust Marine”).
According 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.
A se vedea punctul 53 din Orientările din 2014 privind sectorul aviației.
According to point 137 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, unlawful operating aid granted before the date of the publication of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines may be declared compatible with the internal market to the full extent of uncovered operating costs provided that the following cumulative conditions are met:
A se vedea punctele 59 și 61 din Orientările din 2014 privind sectorul aviației.
contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest: that 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 [134];
Decizia 2011/60/UE.
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 [135];
Aceasta se bazează pe următorul calcul: […] zboruri în 1999 * […] pasageri pe zbor = […] pasageri Ryanair.
existence of incentive effect: that 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 [136];
Raport privind taxele de aeroport – aeroportul Frankfurt-Hahn, 1999.
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 [137];
Costurile de investiții ale noului terminal, în valoare de […] milioane DM/utilizarea economică preconizată a terminalului de 20 de ani = amortizare de […] DM pe an.
avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade [138].
FFHG și-a întemeiat estimările veniturilor din taxele pentru serviciile destinate pasagerilor pe ipoteza că Ryanair va stabili baza pentru 3 aeronave pe aeroportul Frankfurt-Hahn, acesta fiind motivul pentru care din taxa pentru serviciile destinate pasagerilor s-a scăzut sprijinul pentru marketing în valoare de […] EUR per pasager.
According to Section 5.1.2(a) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, in order to give airports time to adjust to new market realities and to avoid any disruptions in the air traffic and connectivity of the regions, operating aid to airports will be considered to contribute to the achievement of an objective of common interest, if it: (i) increases the mobility of Union citizens and connectivity of regions by establishing access points for intra-Union flights; (ii) combats air traffic congestion at major Union hub airports; or (iii) facilitates regional development.
Costurile corespund chiriei percepute pentru utilizarea dispozitivelor de control, la care se adaugă costurile de exploatare a materialelor („costuri de aprovizionare operaționale”).
In the light of the considerations in recitals 512 to 519, the Commission considers that the continued operation of Frankfurt-Hahn airport increased the mobility of Union citizens and connectivity of regions by establishing an access point for intra-Union flights in the Hunsrück region.
Pe baza unui număr de […] zboruri anuale.
In addition, the continued operation of the airport facilitated the regional development of the Hunsrück region and the creation of new jobs.
FFHG a plecat de la ipoteza că Ryanair va crea 3 noi rute, pentru care ar plăti […] DM.
Moreover, the operation and development of Frankfurt-Hahn airport also served to decongest Frankfurt Main airport.
Amortizarea se referă la extinderea terminalului de pasageri care necesită o investiție în valoare de […] ([…] EUR la care se adaugă […] EUR pentru cererea suplimentară preconizată), la care se adaugă costurile de finanțare.
The Commission therefore concludes that the measure at stake meets a clearly defined objective of common interest.
Costurile de investiții au fost defalcate pentru Ryanair în conformitate cu cota sa din volumul de călători pe aeroportul Frankfurt-Hahn, care se ridică la […] %.
According to Section 5.1.2(b) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, in order to assess whether State aid is effective in achieving an objective of common interest, it is necessary to identify the problem to be addressed.
Perioada de amortizare: […] ani.
In that respect, any State aid to an airport must be targeted towards a situation where aid can bring about a material improvement that the market cannot deliver itself.
Deși nu s-a considerat că respectivele costuri inițiale de investiții ale terminalului au fost induse de Ryanair, calculul efectuat de FFHG a ținut cont de costurile de investiții suplimentare estimate pentru terminal.
The Commission notes that Frankfurt Hahn airport is a regional airport with approximately 2,7 million passengers p.a. which experience in the period under investigation a significant growth in passengers (see Table 1).
Aceasta se bazează pe următorul calcul: […] zboruri în 2002 * […] pasageri pe zbor = 392137 pasageri Ryanair.
It has high fixed operating costs and under present market conditions it is not able to cover its own operating costs.
Ipoteza s-a bazat pe aproximativ […] zboruri zilnice operate de Ryanair.
Therefore, there is a need for State intervention (see point 89 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines).
Evaluarea rentabilității pe baza contribuției la profit pentru anul 2002 a acordului din 2002 cu Ryanair:[…]
Appropriateness of the aid measures
Comisia a constatat că landul Renania-Palatinat a încheiat, de asemenea, acorduri de marketing cu Ryanair.
According to Section 5.1.2(c) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, any aid measure to an airport must be an appropriate policy instrument to address the objective of common interest.
Cu toate acestea, acordurile nu au fost incluse în măsurile pentru care Comisia a inițiat procedura oficială de investigare în 2008 și, prin urmare, nu sunt incluse în analiza din prezenta decizie, care nu aduce atingere niciunei acțiuni viitoare pe care Comisia ar dori să o adopte cu privire la acordurile în cauză.
The Member State must, therefore, demonstrate that no other less distortive policy instruments or aid instruments could have allowed the same objective to be reached.
Comisia a constatat că landul Renania-Palatinat a încheiat, de asemenea, acorduri de marketing cu Ryanair.
According to Germany, the aid measures at stake are appropriate to address the intended objective of common interest that could not have been achieved by another less distortive policy instrument.
Cu toate acestea, acordurile respective nu au fost incluse în măsurile care fac obiectul procedurii oficiale de investigare inițiată de Comisie în 2008 și, prin urmare, nu sunt incluse în analiza din prezenta decizie, care nu aduce atingere niciunei acțiuni viitoare pe care Comisia ar dori să o adopte cu privire la acordurile în cauză.
In this case the aid amount corresponded to the uncovered operating losses (see Table 4) actually incurred and was limited to the minimum necessary as it was granted only as to the extent of actually incurred operating losses.
Cauza T-109/01, Fleuren Compost/Comisia, Rec., 2004, p.
No other policy measure would allow the airport to continue its operation.
II-127.
Hence, the compensation of losses is limited to the minimum and does not provide for any profits.
JO C 119, 22.5.2002, p. 22.
In view of recitals 557 and 558, the Commission considers that the measures at stake were appropriate to reach the desired objective of common interest.
Punctul 173 din Orientările din 2014 privind sectorul aviației.
Existence of incentive effect
Punctul 172 din Orientările din 2014 privind sectorul aviației.
According to Section 5.1.2(d) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the operating aid has an incentive effect if it is likely that, in the absence of operating aid, the level of economic activity of the airport would be significantly reduced.
Punctul 25 subpunctul (22) din Orientările din 2014 privind sectorul aviației.
Without the aid the scale of the operations at Frankfurt-Hahn airport would be severely impacted and reduced, leading eventually to the market exit of the airport due to uncovered operating losses.
Decizia Comisiei din 8 noiembrie 2006 privind măsura de ajutor de stat N 459/2006 – Germania – Harta ajutoarelor regionale pentru Germania aplicabilă în perioada 2007-2013 (JO C 295, 5.12.2006, p. 6).
Therefore, the Commission considers that the aid measures at stake had an incentive effect.
Decizia Comisiei din 1 octombrie 2014 în cazul privind ajutorul de stat SA.21211 – Germania – Aeroportul Frankfurt-Hahn și Ryanair, nepublicată încă în Jurnalul Oficial.
Proportionality of the aid amount (aid limited to a minimum)
În ceea ce privește aeroporturile Frankfurt/Main și Luxemburg, Comisia observă, de asemenea, că segmentul călătoriilor de afaceri ocupă o cotă de piață semnificativă pe aceste aeroporturi, deși, prin comparație cu alte aeroporturi, nu reprezintă decât o parte limitată pentru aeroportul Frankfurt-Hahn.
According to Section 5.1.2(e) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, in order to be proportionate, operating aid to airports must be limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
Punctele 137, 113 și 114 din Orientările din 2014 privind sectorul aviației.
In this case, the aid amount was limited to the extent of uncovered operating losses, as it compensated only the costs actually incurred.
Punctele 137 și 116 din Orientările din 2014 privind sectorul aviației.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the operating aid amount in this case was proportionate and limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
Punctele 137 și 124 din Orientările din 2014 privind sectorul aviației.
According to Section 5.1.2(f) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, when assessing the compatibility of operating aid account will be taken of the distortions of competition and the effects on trade.
Punctele 137 și 125 din Orientările din 2014 privind sectorul aviației.
Within the standard catchment area of Frankfurt Hahn airport (1 hour travelling time by car or 100 kilometres distance) there are no commercially exploited airports.
Punctele 137 și 131 din Orientările din 2014 privind sectorul aviației.
Even if this standard catchment area was to be further extended to other airports in the proximity of Frankfurt Hahn airport, as demonstrated in recitals 537 and 541 there are no undue negative effects on competition between the airports located in the proximity of Frankfurt Hahn airport (that is Frankfurt Main, Luxembourg and Saarbrücken airports).
Decizia de inițiere a procedurii din 2008 a fost înregistrată cu numărul de caz SA.21121 (C29/08).
In view of the above, the Commission considers that any undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States due to the operating aid granted in favour of FFHG are limited to the minimum.
Decizia de inițiere a procedurii din 2008 a fost publicată în Jurnalul Oficial al Uniunii Europene [4] la 17 ianuarie 2009.
In light of the considerations in recitals 551 to 568, the Commission concludes that the measures are compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Comisia a invitat părțile interesate să își prezinte observațiile cu privire la măsurile în cauză în termen de o lună de la data publicării.
FINANCING OF THE AIRPORT
Comisia a primit observații de la Deutsche Lufthansa AG („Lufthansa”), Asociația federală germană a transportatorilor aerieni (Bundesverband der Deutschen Fluggesellschaften, „BDF”), Ryanair, Société Air France SA („Air France”), Asociația Companiilor Aeriene Europene („AEA”).
Measure 1: 2001 PLTA: In the light of the considerations in recitals 291 to (302), the Commission concludes that at the time the 2001 PLTA was put into place the public authorities could legitimately consider that a PLTA to cover annual losses of FFHG did not constitute State aid.
Aceasta a transmis Germaniei observațiile, prin scrisoarea din 16 aprilie 2009.
Measure 2: 2001 capital increase: The 2001 capital increase of EUR 27 million by Fraport and Land Rhineland-Palatinate constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Germaniei i s-a oferit posibilitatea de a răspunde observațiilor primite în termen de o lună și a transmis propriile observații și informații suplimentare la 1 iulie 2009.
Measure 3: 2004 capital increase and Measure 4: 2004 PLTA: The 2004 capital increase granted by Fraport and the 2004 PLTA do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Prin scrisoarea din 20 februarie 2012, Comisia a solicitat informații suplimentare privind decizia de inițiere a procedurii din 2008.
Even if they would constitute State aid, that aid can be deemed compatible on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Germania a răspuns prin scrisoarea din 16 aprilie 2012.
The 2004 capital increase by the Länder Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse in favour of FFHG constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Prin scrisoarea din 27 iulie 2012, Comisia a solicitat din nou informații suplimentare.
Measure 5: Compensation of FFHG for tasks falling within the public policy remit (security checks) and Measure 6: Direct grants from Land Rhineland-Palatinate: The Commission considers that the public funding granted to FFHG in the form of direct grants granted after 12 December 2000 constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Printr-o scrisoare din 25 februarie 2014, Comisia a informat Germania cu privire la adoptarea de către Comisie a Orientărilor privind ajutoarele de stat pentru aeroporturi și pentru companii aeriene [7] („Orientările din 2014 privind sectorul aviației”) la 20 februarie 2014.
Measure 12: Equity increase: As the equity increase is intended to finance infrastructure measures which according to Germany by the decision to undertake those investments by the public shareholders, FFHG was entitled to received that funding, the Commission considers that the equity increase has to be assessed in the context of FFHG's public support In that regard, and in the light of the considerations in Section 8.1.1, the Commission concludes that FFHG has been engaged in an economic activity as from the date of the Aéroports de Paris judgment (12 December 2000) onward and constitutes an undertaking within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Comisia a informat Germania că orientările vor deveni aplicabile de la data publicării lor în Jurnalul Oficial al Uniunii Europene.
As the measures have already been put at the disposal of FFHG or irrevocably granted with an entitlement for FFHG to receive those funds, the Commission considers that Germany has not respected the prohibition of Article 108(3) of the Treaty.
Orientările din 2014 privind sectorul aviației au fost publicate în Jurnalul Oficial al Uniunii Europene la 4 aprilie 2014.
In view of recitals 512 to 545, the Commission concludes that the investment aid granted to Frankfurt Hahn airport is compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty as it complies with the compatibility conditions laid down in point 61 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
Acestea înlocuiesc Orientările din 1994 privind sectorul aviației [8] și Orientările din 2005 privind sectorul aviației [9].
AGREEMENTS WITH RYANAIR AND THE SCHEDULE OF AIRPORT CHARGES
Un raport destinat comitetului pentru holdinguri al societății Fraport [18] constata, la 19 ianuarie 2001, că pierderile acumulate de FFHG în perioada 1998-2005 s-ar ridica la […] milioane EUR și, prin urmare, ar fi de peste două ori mai mari față de estimările din 1997.
Measures 7, 9 and 10: 1999, 2002 and 2005 Ryanair agreement: Having analysed the agreements and the information available to FFHG at the time of the conclusion of those agreements, the Commission is satisfied that FFHG could reasonably expect the agreements to contribute to the profitability of Frankfurt Hahn airport, in that the expected incremental revenues were higher than the expected incremental costs.
De asemenea, doi dintre principalii clienți ai societății FFHG pentru transportul de mărfuri și-au mutat sau redus activitatea pe aeroportul Frankfurt-Hahn în același timp, ceea ce a condus la o scădere semnificativă a volumului traficului de mărfuri, și anume cu 45 % în primul semestru al anului 2001.
As the agreements thus complied with the MEO principle, they did not confer an advantage to Ryanair.
De asemenea, începând din 31 decembrie 2005, Fraport a avut dreptul de a rezilia PLTA din 2001.
As one of the cumulative criteria pursuant to Article 107(1) of the Treaty is not fulfilled, the Commission considers that the 1999, 2002 and 2005 Ryanair agreements between Frankfurt Hahn airport and Ryanair and the 2001 and 2006 schedules of airport charges do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Majorarea de capital a fost decisă printr-o hotărâre a consiliului de supraveghere al societății Fraport din 14 decembrie 2001 și, ulterior, printr-o hotărâre a acționarilor societății FFHG din 9 ianuarie 2002.
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
În urma aprobării, Fraport și landul Renania-Palatinat au majorat capitalul autorizat cu 27 de milioane EUR, de la 3,5 milioane EUR la 30,5 milioane EUR.
Article 1
La 9 ianuarie 2002, Fraport a contribuit cu 19,7 milioane EUR și landul Renania-Palatinat a contribuit cu 7,3 milioane EUR.
The State aid, unlawfully put into effect by Germany in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty in favour of Flughafen Frankfurt Hahn GmbH between 2001 and 2012 by means of capital increases in 2001 amounting to EUR 27 million, capital increases in 2004 amounting to EUR 22 million and direct grants by Land Rhineland-Palatinate (to the extent that those grants were not purely related to public policy remit activities and did not to cover investments irrevocably decided prior 12 December 2000) is compatible with the internal market.
Majorarea de capital a fost alocată pentru finanțarea extinderii pistei și alte investiții în infrastructură destinate să sporească rentabilitatea aeroportului.
The capital increase in 2004 by Fraport AG and the profit and loss transfer agreement of 2004 do not constitute aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Landul Renania-Palatinat și landul Hessa au fost de acord cu majorarea de capital cu condiția încheierii unui nou PLTA între FFHG și Fraport, care să acopere perioada până la 31 decembrie 2014.
Article 2
Acționarii au convenit, de asemenea, că toate datoriile noi care urmau să fie contractate de FFHG trebuie să fie garantate de Fraport, de landul Renania-Palatinat și de landul Hessa în mod proporțional cu participarea la capitalul societății FFHG.
The agreement between Ryanair and Flughafen Frankfurt Hahn GmbH, which entered into force on 1 April 1999, does not constitute aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Întrucât aceasta a fost o condiție pentru aprobarea majorării de capital, FFHG și Fraport au prelungit durata PLTA din 2001 până în 2014 prin acordul din 5 aprilie 2004.
The agreement between Ryanair and Flughafen Frankfurt Hahn GmbH dated 14 February 2002 does not constitute aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Noul PLTA a intrat însă în vigoare abia după aprobarea Adunării acționarilor societății Fraport.
The ‘Agreement Ryanair/Flughafen Frankfurt-Hahn GmbH — Delivery of aircraft 6 to 18 — year 2005 to year 2012’ of 4 November 2005 does not constitute aid within the meaning of the Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
FFHG a încheiat trei acorduri cu Ryanair în 1999, 2002 și 2005.
Article 3
De asemenea, FFHG a introdus noi taxe de aeroport în 2001 și 2006.
The schedules of airport charges, which entered into force on 1 October 2001 and on 1 June 2006, do not constitute aid within the meaning of the Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
O analiză a pragului de rentabilitate (Deckungsbeitragsrechnung) pentru acordul cu Ryanair din 1999 a fost prezentată de directoratul societății FFHG la reuniunea consiliului de supraveghere din 5 mai 1999.
