It indicates that this legitimate expectation has been reinforced by the settled decision-making practice of the Commission on the distinction between economic activities and non-economic activities, as reiterated in the Commission decision on Leipzig/Halle airport.
Planul financiar indică faptul că „dezvoltarea prevăzută pentru BSCA și SAB va necesita creșteri semnificative de capital propriu (pe lângă finanțările externe) și, prin urmare, o monitorizare din partea SOWAER”.
The Commission takes the view that the lack of a complaint about the aid granted to BSCA in its 2004 decision cannot constitute a ‘precise assurance’.
Celelalte părți provenite din majorarea de capital au fost subscrise pentru o sumă totală de aproximativ 133000 EUR de anumiți acționari minoritari: societățile SONACA, Carolo Parking și Igretec.
The Commission notes that neither the 2002 opening decision nor the 2004 final decision concerned the measures granted to BSCA.
La 6 iulie 2012, BSCA a încheiat un nou acord cu Ryanair.
As regards recital 214 of the 2004 decision, the Commission stresses that this recital must be read in context.
Având în vedere că respectivul acord nu este inclus în măsurile identificate în decizia de inițiere a procedurii din 2002, nici în cele identificate în decizia de extindere din 2012, acesta nu este examinat în prezenta decizie.
It would appear that, in said context, the recital in question cannot be regarded as approving the measure with regard to the State aid rules, but only as explaining the reason why it is not the conformity of this measure with the State aid rules that is being examined by the Commission, but rather the uncertainty about the funding by the Region of certain services within the BSCA business plan, for the purposes of applying the market economy operator test to the 2001 contracts.
Informație indicată în cursul reuniunii din 24 iunie 2003 dintre Comisie și autoritățile belgiene.
As stated in recitals 397 to 399 of this decision, the Commission disputes that it can be concluded from recitals 182 and 183 of the decision on Leipzig/Halle airport that the Commission has in the past taken the view that tasks comparable to maintenance and traffic safety, as defined in the Region/BSCA agreement, fall within the public policy remit.
În timp ce taxa de aterizare era calculată în funcție de tonajul aeronavelor în sistemul general aplicabil tuturor, aceasta era calculată pe o bază diferită pentru Ryanair și colectată pentru fiecare pasager îmbarcat.
Foreseeability of the change to the pattern of conduct
Punctul 1.3 din contractul încheiat între BSCA și Ryanair din 2 decembrie 2001.
As stated by the Court of Justice [237], ‘if a prudent and alert economic operator could have foreseen the adoption of a Community measure likely to affect his interests, he cannot plead that principle if the measure is adopted [238]’.
Punctul 1.5 din contractul încheiat între BSCA și Ryanair din 2 decembrie 2001.
According to Belgium, there was nothing to indicate to BSCA that the Commission was going to re-examine, in 2012, a measure on which it had not expressed any reservations in 2004, and which the General Court did not question in 2008.
Punctul 4 din anexa C la contractul încheiat între BSCA și Ryanair din 2 decembrie 2001
The Commission refutes having adopted a position on the measures granted to BSCA by adopting the 2004 decision.
Punctul 1.6 și anexa C la contractul încheiat între BSCA și Ryanair din 2 decembrie 2001.
As a result, the 2012 decision does not constitute a change to its pattern of conduct.

The Commission also refutes that the present decision constitutes a change to its decision-making practice concerning the distinction between economic activities and non-economic activities.
Taxele pentru anii 2001-2003 sunt aceleași cu cele din 2004.
As regards the decision on Leipzig/Halle airport cited by Belgium to prove the alleged change to the Commission's pattern of conduct, the Commission refutes that it can concluded from that decision that it has in the past taken the view that tasks comparable to maintenance and traffic safety fall within the public policy remit (see recitals 397 to 399).
[71] Articolul 2 din Contractul din 2001.
In conclusion, the Commission takes the view that recovery of the unlawful and incompatible aid granted to BSCA is not contrary to the principle of legitimate expectations.
Punctul 3b al scrisorii din 24 iunie 2004.
CONCLUSION AND QUANTIFICATION OF THE AID TO BE RECOVERED FROM BSCA
Numărul total de pasageri care au utilizat aeroportul în 2004 a fost de 2034140 (a se vedea tabelul 1).
Aid unlawfully granted to BSCA
Articolele 35 și 36 din Decretul din 3 februarie 2005 privind redresarea economică și simplificarea administrativă.
The Commission finds that, by adopting the 2002 agreements and the 2003 investment decision, Belgium unlawfully granted aid to BSCA in breach of Article 108(3) TFEU.
Aceste dispoziții au fost transpuse la aeroportul din Charleroi prin actul adițional nr.
This aid consists of the difference between the fee that a market economy operator would have required (hereinafter ‘the market price fee’) and the fees actually paid by BSCA to the Region-SOWAER.
4 la convenția de concesiune din 1991 între regiune și BSCA, care prevede la articolul 1 că „concesionarul stabilește și percepe de la utilizatori suma reprezentând taxele de aeroport datorate pentru utilizarea aeroportului pe care îl administrează”.
The market price fee is the fee that BSCA should have paid so that each of the two measures (the 2002 agreements and the 2003 investment decision) has a zero net present value for the Region-SOWAER.
Scrisoarea autorităților belgiene din 14 iulie 2011 și http://www.charleroi-airport.com/b2b/redevances-aeroportuaires/vols-regulierscharters/index.html
The Commission has determined the market price fee in line with the reasoning given in Section 6.1.2.2, which has shown that the 2002 agreements and the 2003 investment decision resulted in a concession fee below what a market economy operator guided by profitability prospects would have required.
Taxe per pasager îmbarcat, conform datelor furnizate de răspunsul autorităților belgiene din 14 iulie 2011.
The Commission has taken into account that, on the signature of the 2002 SOWAER/BSCA agreement, a prudent operator would not have required BSCA to pay a fee reflecting the investments that SOWAER undertook to make under that agreement until the investments had been made and BSCA was earning the expected revenue from those investments.
Previziunile regiunii nu țin cont de indexarea anuală a taxelor de aterizare, nici de creșterea numărului de pasageri ai companiei Ryanair peste 1,75 de milioane; aceste două corectări au un impact opus asupra valorii reale a taxelor per pasager plătite de Ryanair.
A prudent operator would have agreed to the fee increasing only when the new investments could be used by the airport manager.
Regulamentul (CE) nr.
Otherwise, the airport manager might experience cash flow difficulties during the years when it was not yet able to earn operating revenue from the new infrastructure.
1107/2006 al Parlamentului European și al Consiliului din 5 iulie 2006 privind drepturile persoanelor cu handicap și ale persoanelor cu mobilitate redusă pe durata călătoriei pe calea aerului (JO L 204, 26.7.2006, p.
The Commission also finds that the 2002 SOWAER/BSCA agreement provided for an increase in the concession fee in 2007, i.e. two years after the planned commissioning of the new terminal (2005).
1).
Consequently, the Commission takes the view that a prudent operator would have agreed to BSCA paying the fee set by the 2002 SOWAER/BSCA agreement up to two years after the end of the year of commissioning of the new terminal (i.e. in 2007), but would have required BSCA to pay a market price fee after that date, i.e. a fee allowing the entity Region-SOWAER to achieve a zero net present value over the whole period.
Această sumă este indexată anual, a se vedea http://www.charleroi-airport.com/b2b/redevances-aeroportuaires/vols-regulierscharters/index.html

BAC consideră că un investitor privat s-ar aștepta la o rentabilitate a investițiilor de cel puțin 14 milioane EUR (5 %) pe baza investiției de 281 de milioane EUR realizată de către SOWAER în infrastructurile BSCA.
Table 31
Cu toate acestea, SOWAER a beneficiat de un randament de numai 0,66 % după impozitul pe profit în 2009 și nici Regiunea valonă, nici SOWAER nu au beneficiat de alte venituri, cum ar fi dividende, între 2002 și 2007.
Expected market price concession fees
Astfel, costurile anuale de amortizare ale BAC se ridică la 30 % din veniturile anuale.

(a + b + c) Market price concession fees
Pe baza unui volum estimat la 1700000 de pasageri în 2003, diferența de cost se ridică la 23 milioane EUR.
The Commission has decided that the two-year delay in the work should be covered by the Region and SOWAER, and not by BSCA, as those entities were responsible for making the investments.
Directivă modificată ultima dată prin Regulamentul (CE) nr. 1882/2003 al Parlamentului European și al Consiliului din 29 septembrie 2003 de adaptare la Decizia 1999/468/CE a Consiliului a dispozițiilor privind comitetele care asistă Comisia în exercitarea competențelor de executare prevăzute de actele care fac obiectul procedurii menționate la articolul 251 din Tratatul CE (JO L 284, 31.10.2003, p. 1).
As a result, the Commission has taken the view that BSCA should have paid the market price concession fee from the end of 2009 only, without, however, this concession fee being increased as it should have been from the end of 2007, as stipulated by the 2002 SOWAER/BSCA agreement.
Societatea citează exemplul Shannon, în Irlanda.
It is the variable fees actually payable by BSCA (to which fees (b) and (c) shown in Table 31 should be added) that must be used to determine the market price concession fees that BSCA should have paid and that it shall pay in the future.
Shannon a acordat companiei Ryanair anumite avantaje, pentru o perioadă, însă acestea nu au fost reînnoite.
It turns out that, even though traffic has proven to be much higher than predicted in 2002, the fees actually payable (shown in column (a) of Table 32) correspond to the expected variable concession fees (shown in column (a) of Table 31) due to the cap on the variable concession fee stipulated in 2002.
Ryanair a decis să își transfere operațiunile către un alt aeroport, iar Shannon nu a obținut rentabilitatea rezonabilă a investiției, pe care o preconizase.
Table 32 shows the elements making up the market price concession fee:

595, EU:C:1977:52: „Având în vedere că o eventuală încălcare de către un stat membru a unei obligații care îi revine în temeiul tratatului, în legătură cu interdicția de la articolul 92, nu ar putea fi justificată prin circumstanța că alte state membre ar încălca, de asemenea, această obligație; că efectul mai multor denaturări ale concurenței asupra schimburilor comerciale între statele membre nu este de a se neutraliza reciproc, ci, dimpotrivă, este de natură cumulativă, ceea ce îi crește consecințele dăunătoare pentru piața comună” (punctul 24).
Market price concession fees taking into account the delay in the work [243]
Tarifele impuse de Frankfurt-Hahn și Londra Stansted ar fi mai mari, iar reducerile mai mici, în timp ce Ryanair operează 49 de destinații cu plecare din Londra și 15 cu plecare din Frankfurt-Hahn, comparativ cu nouă destinații cu plecare din Charleroi.
More generally, beyond 2013, for example for year (2013 + n), the market price concession fee will be: (a) + (9348451 + 2640013) × (1,02)n, i.e. (a) + 11988464 × (1,02)n, where (a) is the variable part of the concession fee payable by BSCA for the year (2013 + n).

As explained at the end of recital 685, for the years 2014 and 2015, part (a) will probably be capped.
Hotărârea din 14 ianuarie 2004, Fleuren Compost BV/Comisia, T-109/01, Rec. p.
In these calculations of the net present value and market price concession fee for the 2002 and 2003 measures, the Commission has assumed that there will be no cap after 2015.
II-00127, EU:T:2004:4, punctul 18.
From 2016, part (a) of the market price concession fee will therefore be 35 % of the aviation revenue.

Based on the assumptions and methods described above and if the concession fee paid by BSCA remains unchanged, the Commission concludes that, due to the 2002 agreements and the 2003 investment decision, BSCA has received and will receive up to 31 December 2015 the aid amounts (excluding interest) corresponding to the sum of columns (b) and (c) in Table 32.

Ceea ce nu este cazul aeroporturilor.
Given the conclusions in Section 6.3.2 on the compatibility of the aid granted to BSCA, only the difference between the market price fee — calculated according to the methods described in recitals 680 to 683 — and the fee paid by BSCA since 4 April 2014 constitutes aid to be recovered.

In addition, until the concession fee payable by BSCA is increased to the level of the market price fee, BSCA will continue to receive unlawful and incompatible aid, the amounts of which shall be recovered.
