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.
Vzhľadom na odôvodnenia 99 až 124 sa Komisia domnieva, že úverová linka, ktorú spoločnosti FFHG prostredníctvom konsolidácie zostatkov poskytla spolková krajina Porýnie-Falcko, predstavuje štátnu pomoc v zmysle článku 107 ods. 1 zmluvy.
Any differences in airport charges actually paid for the use of the infrastructure were based on commercially justified differentiation [86].
Vzhľadom na skutočnosti uvedené v odôvodneniach 140 až 169 Komisia dospela k záveru, že úvery ISB č. 1, č. 3 a č. 4 boli poskytnuté za sadzby, ktoré možno považovať za sadzby v súlade s trhovými podmienkami.
Hence, the Commission considers that this condition is satisfied.
Keďže neboli splnené kumulatívne kritériá podľa článku 107 ods. 1 zmluvy, Komisia zastáva názor, že tieto úvery nepredstavujú štátnu pomoc v zmysle článku 107 ods. 1 zmluvy.
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.
Vzhľadom na skutočnosti uvedené v odôvodneniach 140 až 169 Komisia dospela k záveru, že úvery ISB č. 2 a č. 5 boli poskytnuté za nižšiu sadzbu, ako je referenčná sadzba.
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.
Keďže ostatné kritériá podľa článku 107 ods. 1 zmluvy sú takisto splnené, tieto úvery predstavujú štátnu pomoc.
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 Member States.
Keďže úverová linka a finančné prostriedky poskytnuté prostredníctvom konsolidácie zostatkov, 100 % štátna záruka a úvery ISB č. 2 a č. 5 už boli poskytnuté spoločnosti FFHG, Komisia dospela k záveru, že Nemecko nedodržalo zákaz uvedený v článku 108 ods. 3 zmluvy.
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.
Vzhľadom na skutočnosti uvedené v odôvodneniach 199 až 232 Komisia dospela k záveru, že investičná pomoc poskytnutá letisku Frankfurt Hahn je zlučiteľná s vnútorným trhom podľa článku 107 ods. 3 písm. c) zmluvy, lebo spĺňa podmienky zlučiteľnosti stanovené v bode 61 usmernení o leteckej doprave z roku 2005.
In fact, before getting involved in Frankfurt Hahn airport, Fraport was already the operator of Frankfurt Main airport, but was nevertheless investing in Frankfurt Hahn airport with a view to decongesting Frankfurt Main airport, as a future capacity overload was foreseeable for that hub.
Vzhľadom na skutočnosti uvedené v odôvodneniach 238 až 255 Komisia dospela k záveru, že finančné prostriedky poskytnuté prostredníctvom konsolidácie zostatkov za zvýhodnených podmienok sú v súlade s podmienkami zlučiteľnosti pre prevádzkovú pomoc stanovenými v bode 137 usmernení o leteckej doprave z roku 2014, a sú zlučiteľné s vnútorným trhom na základe článku 107 ods. 3 písm. c) zmluvy.
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 licence.
Komisia poznamenáva, že Nemecko súhlasí s prijatím rozhodnutia v anglickom jazyku,
Even though Frankfurt Hahn experienced significant growth in the period from 2000 until 2007, Figure 1 shows that in comparison to Frankfurt Main the traffic share remained very limited.
PRIJALA TOTO ROZHODNUTIE:
From 2000 to 2003 Frankfurt Main airport experienced steady passenger growth from 48 million in 2000 to 54,2 million in 2007.
Článok 1
Due to the economic crisis, Frankfurt Main experienced a slight decrease to 50,9 million in 2009, followed by a rapid increase to 58 million.
Štátna pomoc, ktorú v rozpore s článkom 108 ods. 3 zmluvy neoprávnene poskytlo Nemecko v prospech spoločnosti Flughafen Frankfurt Hahn GmbH v rokoch 2009 až 2012 prostredníctvom poskytnutia 100 % záruky za úvery poskytnuté Investičnou a štrukturálnou bankou spolkovej krajiny Porýnie-Falcko, úverov, ktoré poskytla Investičná a štrukturálna banka spolkovej krajiny Porýnie-Falcko 31. augusta 2009 vo výške 20,0 miliónov EUR a 30. septembra 2009 vo výške 6,8 milióna EUR, ako aj prostredníctvom umožnenia účasti spoločnosti Flughafen Frankfurt Hahn GmbH na konsolidácii zostatkov spolkovej krajiny Porýnie-Falcko a čerpania úverov vo výške 45 miliónov EUR za zvýhodnených podmienok z tejto konsolidácie zostatkov, je zlučiteľná s vnútorným trhom.
With regard to the freight activities, Frankfurt Main airport experienced steady growth from 1,6 to 2,2 million tonnes in 2013.
Článok 2
As for other airports, the Commission has already explained that the investments at Frankfurt Hahn airport had no significant impact on competition and trade between Member States [87].
Úvery, ktoré poskytla Investičná a štrukturálna banka spolkovej krajiny Porýnie-Falcko spoločnosti Flughafen Frankfurt Hahn GmbH v období od 15. júla 2007 do 30. septembra 2009 v celkovej výške 46,8 milióna EUR, nepredstavujú štátnu pomoc v zmysle článku 107 ods. 1 zmluvy.
This 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).
Článok 3
In addition, contrary to Frankfurt Main and Luxembourg airports, Frankfurt Hahn airport is not served by a train connection.
Toto rozhodnutie je určené Spolkovej republike Nemecko.
Overall, no substitution effect on rail transport can be expected.
V Bruseli 1. októbra 2014
In view of the considerations in recitals 223 to 228, the Commission considers that any undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States are limited to the minimum.
Za Komisiu
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.
podpredseda
In addition, the aid is considered to be proportionate only if the same result could not be reached with less aid and less distortion.
S účinnosťou od 1. decembra 2009 sa články 87 a 88 Zmluvy o ES stali článkami 107 a 108 Zmluvy o fungovaní Európskej únie (ďalej len „zmluva“).
This means that the amount and intensity of the aid must be limited to the minimum needed for the aided activity to take place.
Obe skupiny článkov sú v podstate totožné.
According to the information submitted by Germany, without the aid the investment could not have been realised.
Na účely tohto rozhodnutia sa pod odkazmi na články 107 a 108 zmluvy v prípade potreby rozumejú odkazy na články 87 a 88 Zmluvy o ES.
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.
V zmluve sa zaviedli aj určité zmeny týkajúce sa terminológie, napríklad pojem „Spoločenstvo“ bol nahradený pojmom „Únia“ a pojem „spoločný trh“ pojmom „vnútorný trh“.
Indeed, according to the financial results summarised in Table 3 and Table 4 the airport is still loss-making and not able to finance its investment costs.
V tomto rozhodnutí sa bude používať terminológia zmluvy.
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.
Ú. v. EÚ C 216, 21.7.2012, s. 1.
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.
Nariadenie Rady (ES) č. 659/1999 z 22. marca 1999 ustanovujúce podrobné pravidlá na uplatňovanie článku 93 Zmluvy o ES (Ú. v. ES L 83, 27.3.1999, s. 1).
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).
Pozri poznámku pod čiarou č. 2.
Of this amount, EUR 46 million were invested during the period under consideration (2009 to 2012).
Oznámenie Komisie – Usmernenia o štátnej pomoci pre letiská a letecké spoločnosti (Ú. v. EÚ C 99, 4.4.2014, s. 3).
It follows that the investment aid covered only a fraction of the overall investment costs and was limited to the difference between the interest rate paid for the funds and the market rate under which FFHG would have received those funds on the market.
Uplatňovanie článkov 92 a 93 Zmluvy o ES a článku 61 Dohody o EHP na štátnu pomoc v sektore leteckej dopravy (Ú. v. ES C 350, 10.12.1994, s. 5).
Also, the investment aid under consideration was granted in the form of a 100 % state guarantee and funds at preferential terms and not in the form of a direct grant.
Usmernenia Spoločenstva týkajúce sa financovania letísk a štátnej pomoci na začatie činnosti pre letecké spoločnosti s odletom z regionálnych letísk (Ú. v. EÚ C 312, 9.12.2005, s. 1).
The Commission therefore considers that the aid measure at stake had an incentive effect and that the amount of aid was limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place, and was thus proportionate.
Ú. v. EÚ C 113, 15.4.2014, s. 30.
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.
Dôverné informácie
Compatibility of operating aid pursuant to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines
V ďalšom texte tohto rozhodnutia sa názvom „Fraport“ označuje spoločnosť „FAG“ pred zmenou obchodného názvu aj následná spoločnosť „Fraport AG“.
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.
Podľa oddielu 7 ods. 3 nákupnej zmluvy sa táto suma mohla znížiť, napr. v prípade ak by náklady FFHG na ochranu proti hluku presiahli určitý strop.
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.
Spolková krajina Hesensko vlastnila 45,24 % akcií spoločnosti Fraport, spoločnosť Stadtwerke Frankfurt am Main Holding GmbH (ktorá bola v 100 % vlastníctve mesta Frankfurt nad Mohanom) vlastnila 28,89 % a Spolková republika Nemecko vlastnila 25,87 %.
According to point 137 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, unlawful operating aid granted before the date of the publication of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines — like the funds granted from the cash-pool insofar as they may have constituted operating aid (see recitals 185 and 186) — may be declared compatible with the internal market to the full extent of uncovered operating costs provided that the following cumulative conditions are met:
Spoločnosť Ryanair je írsky letecký dopravca a člen Európskeho združenia nízkonákladových leteckých dopravcov (European Low Fares Airlines Association).
contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest: this 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 [88];
Ekonomická činnosť leteckého dopravcu je napojená na sekundárne, regionálne letiská.
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 [89];
Letecký dopravca v súčasnosti pôsobí asi v 160 európskych destináciách.
existence of incentive effect: this 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 [90];
Spoločnosť Ryanair má jednoliaty lietadlový park, ktorý pozostáva z lietadiel Boeing 737-800 s kapacitou 189 miest.
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 [91];
Spoločnosť Wizz air je maďarský letecký dopravca a člen Európskeho združenia nízkonákladových leteckých dopravcov (European Low Fares Airlines Association).
avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade [92].
Skupina Wizz Air pozostáva z troch prevádzkových spoločností, ktorými sú Wizz Air Maďarsko, Wizz Air Bulharsko a Wizz Air Ukrajina.
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.
Obchodný model leteckého dopravcu je napojený na sekundárne, regionálne letiská.
In the light of the considerations in recitals 199 to 204, 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.
Letecký dopravca v súčasnosti pôsobí asi v 150 európskych destináciách.
In addition, the continued operation of the airport facilitated the regional development of the Hunsrück region and the creation of new jobs.
Spoločnosť Wizz air má jednoliaty lietadlový park, ktorý pozostáva z lietadiel typu Airbus A 320 s kapacitou 180 miest.
Moreover, the operation and development of Frankfurt Hahn airport also served to decongest Frankfurt Main airport.

The Commission therefore concludes that the measure at stake meets a clearly defined objective of common interest.

Need for State intervention
Pomocou modelu KMV Riskcalc Germany 3.1 agentúry Moody's sa vypočítava očakávaná frekvencia zlyhania (alebo pravdepodobnosť zlyhania) podnikov, s ktorými sa neobchoduje na burze cenných papierov, na základe údajov z finančných výkazov.
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.
Vo svetle spresnení v odôvodnení 46 sa krátkodobé trvanie úverov poskytnutých v rámci konsolidácie zostatkov predpokladalo pre úverové ratingy.
In this 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.
Pri zohľadnení vlastníckej štruktúry.
The Commission notes that Frankfurt Hahn airport is a regional airport with approximately 2,7 million passengers p.a.
Zodpovedá to ratingu [BB+ až B-] na ratingovej stupnici agentúry Standard & Poor's.
It has high fixed operating costs and under present market conditions it is not able to cover its own operating costs.
Táto ratingová kategória znamená, že dlžník je […].
Therefore, there is a need for State intervention (see point 89 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines).
Zodpovedá to ratingu [BBB- až B] na ratingovej stupnici agentúry Standard & Poor's.
Appropriateness of the aid measures
Táto ratingová kategória znamená, že dlžník je […].
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.
V tejto súvislosti sa Nemecko odvolalo na vec C-30/59 De gezamenlijke Steenkolenmijnen in Limburg/Vysoký úrad ESUO, Zb.
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.
1961, s. 3, 43.
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.
Deutsche Bank, „Margen-Indikation für geplante Refinanzierung bestehender Verschuldung“, 3. septembra 2009.
In this case the aid amount (the difference between the market rate for the funds provided by the cash-pool and the actual rate) stayed below the uncovered operating losses (see Table 4, Ebitda excluding the extraordinary revenue of the airport) actually incurred and was limited to the minimum necessary as it was granted only as a repayable loan and not as a direct grant.
Bod 3.2.1 dokumentu Margen-Indikation für geplante Refinanzierung bestehender Verschuldung: „…, gehen wir von einer Einstufung der Gesellschaft im […].“ Ratingová kategória [ < BBB+] zahŕňa všetky ratingy nižšie ako [BBB+] na ratingovej stupnici agentúry Standard and Poor's.
No other policy measure would allow the airport to continue its operation.
Deutsche Bank však neposkytla upravený rating pre spoločnosť FFHG.
Hence, the compensation of losses is limited to the minimum and does not provide for any profits.
Táto sadzba sa vypočíta takto: [5 až 25] bázických bodov zaplatených v rámci päťročných dlhopisov v EUR vydaných nemeckými spolkovými krajinami, [5 až 25] bázických bodov – doplnkovo k uvedenej marži v dôsledku nepriameho rizika vyplývajúceho zo spoločnosti v štátnom vlastníctve, [5 až 25] bázických bodov – za obmedzené možnosti obchodovania s dlhom.
In view of recitals 244 and 245, the Commission considers that the measures at stake were appropriate to reach the desired objective of common interest.

Existence of incentive effect
Tento rating zodpovedá ratingu [B až BB] na ratingovej stupnici agentúry Standard and Poor's (pozri Rating-Broschüre Finanzstandort Deutschland, 2010, s. 18).
According to Section 5.1.2(d) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, 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.
Tento rating zodpovedá ratingu [B- až BB-] na ratingovej stupnici agentúry Standard and Poor's (pozri Rating-Broschüre Finanzstandort Deutschland, 2010, s. 18).
This assessment needs to take into account the presence of investment aid and the level of traffic at the airport.
Oznámenie Komisie o uplatňovaní článkov 87 a 88 Zmluvy o ES na štátnu pomoc vo forme záruk (Ú. v. EÚ C 155, 20.6.2008, s. 10).
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.
Deutsche Bank posudzuje dva alternatívne scenáre financovania spoločnosti FFHG – jeden bez zabezpečenia kolaterálom a druhý so 100 % štátnou zárukou.
In view of the above, the Commission considers that the aid measures at stake had an incentive effect.
Podľa jej odhadov by sa v prvom prípade (bez zabezpečenia kolaterálom) riziková marža uplatniteľná na päťročný úver pohybovala v rozmedzí [1,30 % až 2,05 %] ročne.
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.
V druhom prípade (bez záruky pokrývajúcej 100 % nárokov) by sa uplatniteľná riziková marža pohybovala v rozmedzí [0,25 % až 0,7 %] ročne.
In this case, the aid amount was limited to the extent of uncovered operating cost of capital, as it compensated only the costs actually incurred.
Rozdiel medzi maržami týchto dvoch prípadov by poskytol orientačné informácie o cene záruky.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the amount of the operating aid in this case was proportionate and limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
Rozdiel odhadovaný Deutsche Bank sa pohybuje v rozmedzí [0,6 % až 1,8 %] ročne ([1,3 % – 0,7 % = 0,6 % a 2,05 % – 0,25 % = 1,8 %]).
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.
Gemeinschaftsaufgabe „Verbesserung der regionalen Wirtschaftsstruktur (GRW) Gesetz“ zo 6. októbra 1969 (BGBl.
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.
I S. 1861), naposledy pozmenené článkom 8 zákona zo 7. septembra 2007 (BGB1.
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 224 and 228, 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).
I, s. 2,246).
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.

In light of the considerations in recitals 238 to 255, the Commission concludes that the measures are compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.

In the light of the considerations in recitals 99 to 124, the Commission considers that the credit line provided by the cash-pool to FFGH by Land Rhineland-Palatinate constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Vec C-35/96, Komisia/Taliansko, Zb.
In the light of the considerations in recitals 140 to 169, the Commission concludes that ISB loans numbers 1, 3 and 4 were granted at rates that can be deemed in line with market conditions.
1998, s.
Hence, given that the cumulative criteria in Article 107(1) of the Treaty are not fulfilled, the Commission considers that these loans do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
I-3851; vec C-41/90, Höfner a Elser, Zb.
In light of the considerations in recitals 140 to 169 above, the Commission concludes that ISB loans numbers 2 and 5 were granted below the benchmark rate.
1991, s.
Since the other criteria pursuant in Article 107(1) of the Treaty are also fulfilled, those loans constitute State aid.
I-1979; vec C-244/94, Fédération Française des Sociétés d'Assurances/Ministère de l'Agriculture et de la Pêche, Zb.
As the credit line and the funds provided by the cash-pool, the 100 % state guarantee and ISB loans numbers 2 and 5 have already been put at the disposal of FFHG, the Commission considers that Germany has not respected the prohibition of Article 108(3) of the Treaty.
1995, s.
