In addition, State aid to airports — as any other State aid measure — must have an incentive effect and be necessary and proportional in relation to the aimed legitimate objective in order to be compatible.

Germany submitted that the investment aid in favour of FFHG complies with all the compatibility criteria contained in the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.

The aid contributes to a clearly defined objective of common interest
Observațiile prezentate de Germania, septembrie 2014.
The investment aid in favour of FFHG aimed at financing the further conversion of the former US military base into a civilian airport and substantially developing the infrastructure of the airport.
Analiza elaborată de Oxera pentru Ryanair, „Cum ar trebui să fie tratate contractele încheiate cu societatea AMS în cadrul analizei profitabilității ca parte a testului operatorului economic privat în economia de piață? – Aplicare practică”, 31 ianuarie 2014.
Those measures provided a significant contribution to the regional development and connectivity of the Hunsrück region, and the creation of new jobs in an area economically hit by the closure of the US military base as well as the decongestion of Frankfurt Main airport.
Oxera a clarificat faptul că estimările prezentate pentru anii 1999 și 2004 au fost ajustate pentru a reflecta datele de începere și de încheiere ale acordului din 1999, și anume aprilie 1999 și, respectiv, martie 2004.
The Hunsrück region, as pointed out by Germany, is surrounded by a number of areas (such as Landkreis Birkenfeld), which were marked as regions in need of support in the framework of the ‘Gemeinschaftsaufgabe Verbesserung der regionalen Wirtschaftsstruktur’.
Oxera a clarificat faptul că amortizarea este modelată într-un mod care nu depinde de valoarea actualizată netă.
Indeed, in the period under consideration, Landkreis Birkenfeld was at least partly considered to be a region with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) below the Union average [129].
Potrivit Oxera, abordarea garantează că suma valorii actualizate nete a amortizării pe parcursul duratei de viață a activului este echivalentă cu valoarea inițială a cheltuielilor de capital.
The Commission considers that the development of Frankfurt Hahn airport also contributed significantly to the creation of new jobs in the Hunsrück region.
Oxera a afirmat că datele sunt prezentate în termeni nominali.
As shown by Germany, taking into account all parts of the airport activities, Frankfurt Hahn airport created 3063 jobs in the Hunsrück region in 2012 out of which 74 % were full-time positions and 90 % of those employees also live in that region.
Oxera a clarificat faptul că estimările prezentate pentru anii 2002 și 2017 au fost ajustate pentru a reflecta datele de începere și de încheiere ale acordului din 2002 cu Ryanair din februarie 2002 și, respectiv, din februarie 2017.
Moreover, the development of Frankfurt Hahn airport had also positive indirect, induced and catalysing effects on the creation of jobs in the region as well as regional development in general through an increasing number of economic and touristic activities.
Cauza T-228 și 233/99 DEP – Westdeutsche Landesbank Girozentrale/Comisia, Rec., 2003, p.
According to the information provided by Germany, Frankfurt Hahn airport contributes significantly to the development of incoming (~ 33 % of passengers corresponding to approximately 1 million passengers in 2005) and outgoing tourism (~ 67 % of passengers) in the Land Rhineland-Palatinate.
II-435, punctul 314.
As pointed out by Germany, 88 % of the incoming passengers stay at least one night in the region and generated approximately 5,7 million overnight stays in 2005.
Hotărârea Stardust Marine, punctul 33-34.
Since 88 % of incoming tourists from Frankfurt Hahn stay at least one night and more than 80 % of those even stay two to 10 days, they generate a total turnover of about EUR 133,7 million per year.
Directiva 2006/111/CE a Comisiei din 16 noiembrie 2006 privind transparența relațiilor financiare dintre statele membre și întreprinderile publice, precum și transparența relațiilor financiare din cadrul anumitor întreprinderi (JO L 318, 17.11.2006, p.
Moreover, incoming tourism generated around 11000 jobs in Rhineland-Palatinate.
17).
The aided investments at issue also helped to improve the accessibility of the area.
Cauza T-196/04, Ryanair/Comisia („hotărârea Charleroi”), Rep., 2008, p.
Nevertheless, the duplication of unprofitable airports (or the creation of additional unused capacity) does not contribute to an objective of common interest.
II-3643.
In this case, the Commission takes the view that the investment aid does not lead to such a duplication which would diminish the medium-term prospects for the use of existing infrastructure at other, neighbouring airports.
De asemenea, nici acordul de marketing din 2005 nu a fost vizat de decizia de inițiere a procedurii din 2011.
Indeed, there are no other airports within 100 kilometres or 60 minutes travelling time from Frankfurt Hahn airport.
Cauza T-128/89, Aéroports de Paris/Comisia, Rec., 2000, p.
The closest airports to Frankfurt Hahn are Frankfurt Main airport, which is located at 115 kilometres distance or 1 hour 15 minutes traveling time by car, and Luxembourg airport, which is located 1 hour and 30 minutes travelling time (111 kilometres) away.
II-3929 (confirmată de Curtea de Justiție în cauza C-82/01 P, Rec., 2002, p.
Frankfurt Main airport is an international hub airport with a wide variety of destinations and is predominantly served by network carriers offering connecting traffic, whereas Frankfurt Hahn airport serves low-cost point-to-point flights.
I-9297, punctul 75, cu alte trimiteri).
Traffic at Frankfurt Main airport has continuously increased since 2000, from 49,4 million passengers in 2000 to approximately 58 million in 2012.
Cauza T-455/08 Flughafen Leipzig-Halle GmbH și Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG/Comisia, Rep., 2011, p.
However, during that period growth has been affected by congestion problems and capacity constraints.
I-00000, în special punctele 105 și 106.
As pointed out by Germany, the capacity limits of Frankfurt Main airport were constantly exceeded.
A se vedea, în special, decizia Comisiei din 17 iunie 2008 în cauza C-29/08 Aeroportul Frankfurt-Hahn – Presupus ajutor de stat acordat aeroportului și acordul cu Ryanair (JO C 12, 17.1.2009, p. 6, punctele 204-208); decizia Comisiei din 21 martie 2012 în cauza C 76/2002 Aeroportul Charleroi – Presupus ajutor de stat acordat aeroportului și companiei aeriene Ryanair (JO C 248, 17.8.2012, p. 1).
Therefore, according to Germany, especially in the light of its 24 hour operating licence, Frankfurt Hahn airport played an important role in providing additional capacity in order to relieve the congestion at Frankfurt Main airport.
Articolul 1 litera (d) din Regulamentul (CE) nr. 659/1999 prevede că „«schemă de ajutor» înseamnă orice act în baza căruia, fără a fi necesare măsuri suplimentare de punere în aplicare, pot fi acordate alocări individuale de ajutor întreprinderilor definite în mod general și abstract, precum și orice act în baza căruia ajutorul, care nu este legat de un anumit proiect, poate fi acordat uneia sau mai multor întreprinderi pentru o perioadă de timp nedeterminată și/sau într-un cuantum nedeterminat. ”
In fact, until 2009 Fraport was the majority shareholder of FFHG, the operator of Frankfurt Hahn airport (2,7 million passengers in 2013, around 4 million passengers in 2007 at its peak) and the operator of Frankfurt-Main airport (58 million passengers and 2,1 million freight), and was as such pursuing a diversification strategy.
Raport de situație privind societatea FFHG, 2002, p. 5.
Luxembourg airport, which is the nearest airport to Frankfurt Hahn but still around 111 kilometres or 1 hour 30 minutes traveling time by car away, had around 1,7 million passengers in 2008 and experienced a rapid growth to 2,2 million in 2013.
Cauza C-482/99 Franța/Comisia („Stardust Marine”) , Rec., 2002, p.
Even though Luxembourg airport is slightly smaller than Frankfurt Hahn airport in terms of passenger traffic, its freight activity is substantially larger with 674000 tonnes in 2013.
I-4397.
It offers a variety of scheduled flights to European capitals and charter flights to leisure destinations.

That selection of destinations to a large extent meets the needs of the employees of the financial and international institutions located in Luxembourg.
A se vedea, de exemplu, decizia C 41/2005 a Comisiei, Costuri nerecuperabile în Ungaria (JO C 324, 21.12.2005, p. 12), cu trimiteri suplimentare.
Saarbrücken airport is located around 128 kilometres away from Frankfurt Hahn airport which amounts to over 2 hours traveling time by car.
Hotărârea Stardust Marine, punctele 52 și 57.
In addition, Frankfurt Hahn is served mainly by low-cost carriers (Ryanair) and freight constitutes a rather important element in its business model whereas Saarbrücken airport offers mainly scheduled flights to national destinations and has only limited air freight transport.
Landul Hessa deținea 45,24 % din acțiunile întreprinderii Fraport, Stadtwerke Frankfurt am Main Holding GmbH (deținută în proporție de 100 % de către municipalitatea Frankfurt am Main) deținea 28,89 % și Republica Federală Germania deținea 25,87 %.
With regard to Zweibrücken airport, Germany emphasised that the distance of 127 km to Frankfurt Hahn airport translates into a travelling time of 1 hour and 27 minutes by car or around 4 hours by train.
Hotărârea Stardust Marine, punctele 55-56.
Moreover, Germany submitted that, looking at passenger and air freight traffic between 2005 and 2012, no relationship of substitution between the airports can be deduced.
Cauza T-442/03, SIC – Sociedade Independente de Comunicaçăo/Comisia, Rep., 2008, p.
The Commission observes that there is a certain overlap in the activities of both Frankfurt Hahn and Zweibrücken airports, as Zweibrücken airport also engaged in handling air freight and the destinations served by Zweibrücken airport are predominantly for charter traffic.
II-01161, punctul 100.
In that regard, the Commission notes that freight is usually more mobile than passenger transport [130].
Decizia 2014/273/UE a Comisiei din 19 septembrie 2012 privind măsurile în favoarea ELAN d.o.o.
Comments from the industry suggest that up to a half-day of trucking time (that is to say, up to 12 hours driving time by trucks) would in general be acceptable for freight forwarders to transport their goods [131].

Moreover, charter traffic is also, in general, less time sensitive and may accept traveling times of up to 2 hours by car.
În conformitate cu articolul 11 punctul I alineatul (2) litera (c) din Strafgesetzbuch.
At the same time it should be noted that, before Zweibrücken entered the market in 2006, Frankfurt Hahn airport was already a well-established airport with more than 3 million passengers and channelling 123000 tonnes of freight.
A se vedea rapoartele financiare anuale (Geschäftsbericht) ale întreprinderii Fraport din perioada 2001-2006, publicate la adresa http://www.fraport.de/de/investor-relations/termine-und-publikationen/publikationen.html.
In view of the historical development of the two airports, their geographical location and the free capacity available at Frankfurt Hahn airport at the time when Zweibrücken airport entered the commercial aviation market in 2006, the Commission concludes that it is rather the opening of Zweibrücken airport which constituted an unnecessary duplication of infrastructure.
A se vedea, în special, Geschäftsbericht 2001, p. 46; Geschäftsbericht 2002, p. 66; Geschäftsbericht 2003, p. 54; Geschäftsbericht 2004, p. 80; Geschäftsbericht 2005, p. 64; Geschäftsbericht 2006, p. 72.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that the investments into Frankfurt Hahn airport do not constitute a duplication of existing non-profitable infrastructure.
Acordul de bază între Fraport și landul Renania-Palatinat din 31 august 1999.
On the contrary, Frankfurt Hahn airport has played an important role in decongesting Frankfurt Main airport without limiting the latter's plans to expand.
Aprobarea pentru încheierea acordului de bază a fost acordată de consiliul de supraveghere în cadrul reuniunii sale din 1 octombrie 1999.
Without the investments into Frankfurt Hahn airport there was in fact a risk that the region would be underserved in terms of its transport needs.
Acordul de bază între Fraport și landul Renania-Palatinat din 31 august 1999, a se vedea punctele 4 și 5.
In the light of the considerations in recitals 512 to 523, the Commission therefore concludes that the investment aid directed at the construction and operation of infrastructure at Frankfurt Hahn airport meets a clearly defined objective of common interest, namely regional economic development, creation of jobs and improvement of the accessibility of the region.
Articolul 13 din actul constitutiv al întreprinderii FFHG din 29 noiembrie 2001, denumit „Verfügung über Geschäftsanteile” (și anume, înstrăinarea acțiunilor).
According to Germany, the investments were undertaken according to the needs (and were thus proportionate) and the constructed infrastructure was necessary for the airport in order to serve the connectivity and the development of the region and to decongest Frankfurt Main airport.
Procesul-verbal al reuniunii comitetului pentru achiziții al consiliului de supraveghere din 30 mai 2001.
Based on the information provided by Germany, the Commission agrees that the financed investments were necessary and proportionate to the objective of common interest.

Indeed, without those investments the conversion of the former U.S. base into a fully functioning civil aviation airport could not have been completed.

The construction of passenger and freight facilities, aprons and modernisation of taxiways had to be carried out in order to further develop civil flight operations.

Hence, the constructed infrastructure was necessary for the airport in order to serve the connectivity and the development of the region.
I-3547, punctul 60 și cauza C-342/96 Regatul Spaniei/Comisia Comunităților Europene, Rec., 1999, p.
Also, the infrastructure project was undertaken only to the extent it was necessary to attain the goals set: while the infrastructure was built for a maximum passenger traffic of around 4 to 5 million passengers and 500000 tonnes of freight, the traffic statistics displayed in Tables 1 and 2 show that the passenger traffic steadily increased until 2007 to reach a record of 4 million passengers (following by a decline to 2,7 million in 2013 for the reasons set out in recital 532) and that the freight volume increased to more than 500000 tonnes of freight in 2011.
I-2459, punctul 41.
This means that the expected traffic demand largely corresponded to the actual demand and that the investments were not disproportionately large.
Cauza 173/73, Republica Italiană/Comisia Comunităților Europene, Rec., 1974, p. 709, punctul 13.
While it is important to avoid that the investment constitutes a duplication of an existing unprofitable infrastructure, that is not the case here.
Cauza C-482/99 Franța/Comisia („Stardust Marine”), Rec., 2002, p.
As already explained in recitals 516 to 523, there are no other airports within 100 kilometres distance and 60 minutes travelling time, and even if a wider catchment area was to be considered there are no duplications effects.

The closest airport is Frankfurt Main airport, which Frankfurt Hahn airport was intended to decongest.

In the light of those considerations, the Commission considers that this compatibility condition is met.
I-1603, punctul 23, cauza T-296/97, Alitalia/Comisia, Rec., 2000, p.
Germany submitted that before the decision to further develop the airport infrastructure was taken, traffic forecast studies were conducted by external experts in order to identify the traffic potential for Frankfurt Hahn airport.
II-03871, punctul 84.
The information submitted shows that at that time the external experts forecasted significant growth from 0,3 million passengers in 2000 to up to 3,8 million passengers by 2010 (see Figures 2, 3 and 4).
Cauza 40/85 Belgia/Comisia, Rec., 1986, p.
With regard to freight development, the experts projected a development from 151000 tonnes in 2001 to up to 386000 tonnes in 2010 (see Figure 5), with the growth in the freight business between 2006 and 2010 coming from the freight flights diverted from Frankfurt Main airport due to curfew.
I-2321.
However, those projections could only be fulfilled if the investments were undertaken to the planned extent.
Hotărârea Stardust Marine, punctul 71.
The Commission notes that those traffic forecasts (see recital 531) were confirmed by the actual traffic development at Frankfurt Hahn airport (see Tables 1 and 2).

Following a period of significant growth, air traffic in Germany and the Union in recent years has been negatively affected by the economic and financial crisis in 2008/09, which resulted in a decrease in passenger air transport in Germany in 2009.
Procesul-verbal al comitetului pentru achiziții din cadrul consiliului de supraveghere al întreprinderii din 30 mai 2001.
The passenger development at Frankfurt Hahn airport was further impacted by the introduction of an air passenger tax in Germany in 2011.
Evaluarea profitabilității, BCG, 14 februarie 2001.
Currently Frankfurt Hahn airport serves around 2,7 million passengers p.a.
S-a presupus că rata de actualizare pentru calcularea VAN este de […] %.
With regard to freight, Frankfurt Hahn airport handled 565000 tonnes of freight in 2011.
Valoarea actualizată netă (VAN) indică dacă randamentul unui proiect dat depășește costurile de capital (de oportunitate).
Due to the bankruptcy of one of its clients, the airport processed only 447000 tonnes in 2013.
Un proiect este considerat o investiție viabilă din punct de vedere economic dacă acesta generează o VAN pozitivă.
In the light of those considerations, it can therefore be concluded that Frankfurt Hahn airport is already using most of its capacity and that the medium-term prospects for the use of the capacity were satisfactory.
Investițiile care produc un randament mai mic decât costurile de capital (de oportunitate) nu sunt viabile din punct de vedere economic.
All potential users of the infrastructure have access to the airport on equal and non-discriminatory terms.
Costurile de capital (de oportunitate) sunt reflectate în rata de actualizare.
Indeed, the schedule of airport charges applicable at Frankfurt Hahn airport is publicly available and open to all potential and current users of the airport in a transparent and non-discriminatory manner.
SH&E: Studiu privind potențialul traficului pe aeroportul Frankfurt-Hahn, 18 iulie 2001.
Any differences in airport charges actually paid for the use of the infrastructure were based on commercially justified differentiation [132].
„Scenariul de statu-quo”, „Scenariul alternativ 1” și „Scenariul alternativ 2” se bazează pe datele furnizate în raportul PwC din 24 octombrie 2008, p. 39; rata de actualizare a fost identificată în cadrul „Evaluării potențialului” elaborată de BCG la 14 februarie 2010.
Hence, the Commission considers that this condition is satisfied.
Comisia a calculat VAN la o rată de actualizare de […] %, care a fost stabilită în evaluarea rentabilității elaborată de BCG.
According to point 39 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines the category of an airport can provide an indication of the extent to which airports are competing with one another and therefore also the extent to which public funding granted to an airport may distort competition.
De asemenea, Comisia a identificat o altă opțiune, și anume, statu-quo-ul (acoperirea pierderilor până în 2005).
Within the standard catchment area of Frankfurt Hahn airport (1 hour travelling time by car or 100 kilometres distance) there are no other commercially exploited airports.
Rata de actualizare, astfel cum a fost identificată în raportul PwC, 24 octombrie 2008, p. 33.
Even if one were to extend the catchment area, the Commission considers that the aid does not create undue negative effects on competition and trade between the Member States.
Comisia a calculat VAN folosind rata de actualizare indicată în raportul PwC.
As far as Frankfurt Main airport (the closest airport at around 115 kilometres distance and 1 hour 15 minutes travelling time) is concerned, the investments at Frankfurt Hahn airport did not result in negative substitution effects.
Cauza T-214/95 Het Vlaamse Gewest/Comisia, Rec.,1998, p.
In fact, before getting involved in Frankfurt Hahn airport, Fraport was already the operator of Frankfurt Main airport, but was nevertheless investing into Frankfurt Hahn airport with a view to de-congesting Frankfurt Main airport as a future capacity overload was foreseeable for that hub.

In particular, the ban on night flights at Frankfurt Main airport was one of the main factors to be taken into consideration as Frankfurt Hahn airport had a 24 hour operating license.
A se vedea secțiunea 2.2 de mai sus.
Even though Frankfurt Hahn experienced significant growth in the period from 2000 until 2007 (Tables 1 and 2) shows that in comparison to Frankfurt Main the traffic share remained very limited.
De exemplu, aeroportul Leipzig/Halle a fost în concurență cu aeroportul Vatry (Franța) pentru stabilirea platformei europene a întreprinderii DHL.
From 2000 to 2003 Frankfurt Main airport experienced steady passenger growth from 48 million in 2000 to 54,2 million in 2007.

That also applies to Zweibrücken airport, given that it is rather the latter that constitutes an unnecessary duplication of infrastructure (and would thus be responsible for any distortive effect on competition).
