Moreover, the reason for the Land's investment into Frankfurt Hahn airport, such as development of air traffic in the Rhine-Main area or other important social and structural policy considerations, cannot be taken into account when conducting the MEOT.
Okrem toho sa predpokladalo, že vzniknuté prírastkové náklady budú v rokoch 2000 – 2003 stabilné, lebo sa očakávalo len nepodstatné zvýšenie frekvencií v ponuke spoločnosti Ryanair.
In view of these specific factors concerning Land Hesse's decision to become a shareholder of FFHG (recitals 383 to 384), the Commission considers that the 2004 capital increase by Land Hesse was not in line with the MEO principle and conferred an advantage on FFHG.
Aj prognózy príjmov z neleteckých činností boli založené na realistických predpokladoch, keďže sa očakávalo, že každý cestujúci na letisku minie približne […] EUR.
In the light of those considerations, the Commission concludes that the 2004 capital increases by Land Rhineland-Palatinate and Land Hesse confer an advantage to FFHG.
Komisia poznamenáva, že vedenie spoločnosti FFHG s ohľadom na všetky prírastkové náklady a výnosy vyplývajúce z činnosti spoločnosti Ryanair na letisku očakávalo, že dohodou so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 1999 sa neuhradia len prírastkové náklady, ale že počas jej platnosti vzniknú kladné príspevky k ziskovosti letiska Frankfurt-Hahn s čistou súčasnou hodnotou vo výške […] mil. DEM (diskontná sadzba = […] %).
As the 2004 capital increases by Land Rhineland-Palatinate and Land Hesse were put in to place only for the benefit of FFHG, those measures are thus by definition selective within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Vzhľadom na to sa očakávalo, že predpokladaný pozitívny prínos, ako aj celkové podnikanie letiska Frankfurt-Hahn, sa stanú ziskovejšími počas platnosti dohody so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 1999.
For the same reasons as outlined in recitals 360 and following, the Commission considers that any selective economic advantage granted to FFHG was liable to distort competition and affect trade between Member States.
Hoci stačilo preukázať, že očakávaný príjem vytvorený dohodou s letiskom je schopný pokryť očakávané prírastkové náklady, aby sa vyhovelo kritériu súkromného subjektu v trhovom hospodárstve, Komisia vykonala aj analýzu citlivosti, v ktorej do výpočtu ziskovosti zahrnula aj náklady súvisiace s odpismi nového terminálu pre cestujúcich (pozri tabuľku 26).
The 2004 capital increase, granted by the Länder Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse in favour of FFHG constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Tabuľka 26
The 2004 PLTA under which Fraport took over all losses incurred by FFHG between 2004 and 2009 and the 2004 capital increase by Fraport are not imputable to the State.
Posúdenie postupného rastu ziskovosti dohody so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 1999 za roky 1999 – 2003 [vrátane ročných odpisov nového terminálu pre cestujúcich vo výške […] DEM [113]]
As one of the cumulative criteria pursuant to Article 107(1) of the Treaty is not fulfilled, the Commission considers that the 2004 PLTA and the 2004 capital increase by Fraport do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Dokonca aj po zohľadnení celkových nákladov na odpisy nového terminálu pre cestujúcich bolo možné primerane predpokladať, že dohoda so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 1999 vytvorí kladnú čistú súčasnú hodnotu vo výške približne […] mil. DEM (diskontná sadzba = […] %).
Even if, the 2004 PLTA and the 2004 capital increase would constitute State aid, this aid would be compatible on the basis of the considerations set out in Section 10.
Posúdenie ziskovosti dohody so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 1999 vypracované spoločnosťou Oxera
As stated in recital 293, while FFHG must be considered to constitute an undertaking for the purposes of Article 107(1) of the Treaty, it must be recalled that not all activities of an airport owner and operator are necessarily of an economic nature [99].
Spoločnosť Ryanair okrem toho predložila aj posúdenie ziskovosti vykonané spoločnosťou Oxera na základe informácií, ktoré boli dostupné v čase uzatvorenia dohody so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 1999 a ktoré poskytlo letisko a spoločnosť Ryanair.
The Court of Justice [100] has held that activities which normally fall under a State's responsibility in the exercise of its official powers as a public authority are not of an economic nature and do not fall within the scope of the rules on State aid.
Výsledky týchto výpočtov sú zhrnuté v tabuľke 16.
Such activities may include, for example, security, air traffic control, police, customs, etc.
V posúdení spoločnosti Oxera sa rovnako ukazuje, že bolo možné očakávať, že dohoda so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 1999 povedie v prípade letiska ku kladnej čistej súčasnej hodnote.
The financing has to be strictly limited to compensation of the costs to which they give rise and may not be used instead to fund other economic activities [101].
Komisia okrem toho na základe dostupných informácií považuje za presvedčivý argument Nemecka, že schopnosť vytvárať ďalšie lety prostredníctvom dohôd so spoločnosťou Ryanair poskytuje spoločnosti FFHG možnosť prilákať zákazníkov a má potenciál pre rast, zlepšiť celkové využívanie letiska a celkovo znížiť jej straty.
Therefore, the financing of activities falling within the public policy remit or of infrastructure directly related to those activities in general does not constitute State aid [102].
Po analýze dohody a očakávaní spoločnosti FFHG v čase uzatvorenia dohody so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 1999 je Komisia presvedčená, že dohoda prispela k ziskovosti letiska Frankfurt-Hahn, že očakávané prírastkové výnosy boli vyššie než očakávané prírastkové náklady.
At an airport, activities such as air traffic control, police, customs, firefighting, activities necessary to safeguard civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference and the investments relating to the infrastructure and equipment necessary to perform those activities are considered in general to be of a non-economic nature [103].
Keďže takto dohoda vyhovela zásade súkromného subjektu v trhovom hospodárstve, neposkytla spoločnosti Ryanair nijakú výhodu.
However, public financing of non-economic activities necessarily linked to the carrying out of an economic activity must not lead to undue discrimination between airlines and airport managers.
Keďže jedno z kumulatívnych kritérií podľa článku 107 ods. 1 zmluvy nie je splnené, Komisia sa domnieva, že dohoda z roku 1999 medzi letiskom Frankfurt-Hahn a spoločnosťou Ryanair nepredstavuje štátnu pomoc v zmysle článku 107 ods. 1 zmluvy.
Indeed, it is established case law that there is an advantage when public authorities relieve undertakings of the costs inherent to their economic activities [104].
Sadzobník letiskových poplatkov z roku 2001 platil pre všetkých leteckých dopravcov využívajúcich letisko Frankfurt-Hahn a ponúkal variabilnú a pevnú marketingovú podporu pre nových leteckých dopravcov, nové destinácie a vyšší počet cestujúcich.
Therefore, if in a given legal system it is normal that airlines or airport managers bear the costs of certain services, whereas some airlines or airport managers providing the same services on behalf of the same public authorities do not have to bear those costs, the latter may enjoy an advantage, even if those services are considered in themselves as non-economic.
Tento sadzobník letiskových poplatkov z roku 2001 bol zavedený s cieľom zvýšiť konkurencieschopnosť letiska Frankfurt-Hahn a podporiť stratégiu rastu letiska v danom čase.
Therefore, an analysis of the legal framework applicable to the airport operator is necessary in order to assess whether under that legal framework airport managers or airlines are required to bear the costs of the provision of some activities that might be non-economic in themselves but are inherent to the deployment of their economic activities.
Na základe týchto skutočností Nemecko tvrdilo, že prostredníctvom sadzobníka letiskových poplatkov z roku 2001 neboli poskytnuté nijaké výhody a súhlasilo s Komisiou, že výsledky kritéria súkromného subjektu v trhovom hospodárstve týkajúce sa dohody so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 2002, ktorá vychádzala zo sadzobníka letiskových poplatkov a v ktorej sa zavádzala dodatočná marketingová podpora, môžu slúžiť ako referenčné kritérium (pozri oddiel 8.2.4).
Germany submitted that the costs arising from the security checks pursuant to §8 Luftsicherheitsgesetz (Air Security Law, ‘LuftSiG’)are to be considered as falling within the public policy remit.
Komisia súhlasí s tým, že dohoda so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 2002 môže slúžiť ako referenčné kritérium pre sadzobník letiskových poplatkov z roku 2001, najmä vzhľadom na skutočnosť, že hlavným leteckým dopravcom na letisku v čase zavedenia sadzobníka letiskových poplatkov z roku 2001 bola spoločnosť Ryanair a že poplatky dohodnuté v dohode so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 2002 zodpovedajú poplatkom stanoveným v sadzobníku z roku 2001.
The Commission agrees that measures pursuant to §8 LuftSiG can, in principle, be considered to constitute activities falling within the public policy remit.
Komisia vzhľadom na výpočet postupného rastu ziskovosti uskutočnený v kontexte dohody so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 2002, ktorá bola založená na sadzobníku letiskových poplatkov z roku 2001, dospela k záveru, že aj zavedenie sadzobníka letiskových poplatkov z roku 2001 bolo v súlade so zásadou súkromného subjektu v trhovom hospodárstve, keďže postupne prispievala, z hľadiska ex ante, k ziskovosti letiska.
As regards the costs for carrying out such measures, Germany appears to consider that all of them will be borne by the relevant public authorities.
Keďže aspoň jedno z kumulatívnych kritérií podľa článku 107 ods. 1 zmluvy nie je splnené, Komisia sa domnieva, že sadzobník letiskových poplatkov z roku 2001 nepredstavuje štátnu pomoc v zmysle článku 107 ods. 1 zmluvy.
The Commission notes, however, that pursuant to §8(3) LuftSiG only the costs related to the provision and maintenance of spaces and premises necessary for the performance of the listed activities pursuant to §5 LuftSiG may be reimbursed.
Spoločnosť Ryanair má možnosť predĺžiť dohodu za podobných podmienok až do […].
All other costs, including in particular those for security checks, must be borne by the airport operator.
Spoločnosť FFHG 21. mája 2001, pred prijatím rozhodnutia o dohode so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 2002, vykonala približné posúdenie ziskovosti (pozri tabuľku 27).
Hence, to the extent that public financing granted to FFHG relieved this undertaking of costs they normally had to bear given the limits prescribed in §8(3) LuftSiG, that public financing is not exempted from scrutiny under EU State aid rules.
Tabuľka 27
State resources and imputability to the State
Posúdenie ziskovosti dohody so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 2002
In this case, insofar as the Land has not only transferred the revenues collected from the airlines for the security checks to FFHG, the funds provided were granted from the budget of the Land Rhineland-Palatinate.
Správa spoločnosti PwC z roku 2006, s. 34, a posúdenie ziskovosti vykonané 21. mája 2001 spoločnosťou FFHG týkajúce sa dohody so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 2002.
Thus, the Commission considers that they are financed through State resources and are also imputable to the State.
Príjem z obratu za let
The Commission notes that the measures at stake covered a portion of costs incurred by FFHG in the context of its economic activity.
(132,30 cestujúceho na let)
The operator of an airport normally has to bear all the costs related to the construction and operation of the airport (with the exception of those costs that fall within the public policy remit and do not generally have to be borne by the airport operator under the applicable legal framework).
Množstvo na let
Hence, covering a part of those costs relieves FFHG of a burden it would normally have to bear and therefore provides to FFHG an economic.
Náklady/obrat na jeden let v DEM
As the measures at stake were granted only to FFHG, those measures have to be qualified as being selective in nature.

Distortion of competition

For the same reasons as outlined in recitals 360 and following, the Commission considers that any selective economic advantage granted to FFHG is liable to distort competition and affect trade between Member States.
Poplatky za cestujúcich (po odpočítaní marketingovej podpory vo výške 3,52 DEM) [114]
In the light of the considerations in recital 392 and following, the Commission considers that the public funding granted to FFHG, to the extent that the payments of the Land Rhineland-Palatinate for the security checks exceeded the revenue collected from the airlines, constitutes State aid within the meeting of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.

MEASURE 6: DIRECT GRANTS FROM LAND RHINELAND-PALATINATE
Bezpečnostný poplatok
Applicability of State aid rules to public grants decided before 2000 and notion of an undertaking
Palivo
For the reasons outlined in recital 293 and following, as of 12 December 2000 FFHG must be considered to constitute an undertaking for the purposes of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Obrat z neleteckých činností (základný rok 2000)
Germany clarified that in 2001 Land Rhineland-Palatinate granted to FFHG EUR […] to support some of its infrastructure investments.
Parkovanie
According to Germany, however, those grants were based on a decision taken already in 1999.
Celkový obrat za let
For the same reasons as outlined in recital 293 and following, the Commission considers that for grants (like the one described in recital 405) decided prior to the Court judgment in Aéroports de Paris, public authorities could legitimately consider that the financing did not constitute State aid and accordingly did not need to be notified to the Commission.
Variabilné náklady na let
It follows that the Commission can not put into question such grants under State aid rules.
Mzdy
Moreover, Germany stated that Land Rhineland-Palatinate partially financed personnel costs for security checks in the years 2001 ([…] % of total costs), 2002 ([…] %), 2003 ([…] %) and 2004 ([…] %).
Operácie
As assessed in recital 397 and following, the carrying out of security checks (pursuant to §8 LuftSiG) can, in principle, be considered to constitute an activity falling within the public policy remit.
Hodiny
However, pursuant to §8(3) LuftSiG only the costs related to the provision and maintenance of spaces and premises necessary for the performance of the listed activities pursuant to §5 LuftSiG may be reimbursed.
Obsluha rampy
However, in the present case the Land Rhineland-Palatinate has taken over costs for security checks, which must be borne by the airport operator.
Zariadenia na vybavenie [115]
Hence, the public support granted to FFHG through the financing of personnel costs for security checks is not exempted from scrutiny under EU State aid rules.
celkové prevádzkové náklady
The Commission considers that the direct grants are financed through State resources and are also imputable to the State.
1 navádzacie vozidlo
The operator of an airport normally has to bear all the costs related to the construction and operation of the airport, including those for security checks, so that covering a part of those costs relieves FFHG of a burden it would normally have to bear and provides to FFHG an economic advantage it would normally not receive under normal market conditions.
1 vozidlo na prepravu batožiny
Moreover, the measures at stake were non-repayable in nature and did not yield a return on investment.
1 kanalizačné vozidlo
Germany has not presented any evidence that the direct grants were put at the disposal of FFHG on market terms.
1 postrekovacie vozidlo
Furthermore, Germany does not rely on the MEO principle.
1 pozemný generátor
The Commission therefore finds that the measures at stake by the Land in favour of FFHG granted after 12 December 2000 conferred an economic advantage on FFHG.
1 letiskový ťahač
In the light of the considerations in recital 392 and following, the Commission concludes that, as the direct grants amounting to EUR […] million (years 1997-2000) and EUR […] million (paid in 2001) were irrevocably decided by the public authorities before the Aéroports de Paris judgment, they could legitimately consider that those grants did not constitute State aid.
Vybavenie cestujúcich a batožiny
The Commission considers that the public funding granted to FFHG amounting to EUR 1,93 million (years 2001-2004) constitutes State aid within the meeting of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.

MEASURE 12: EQUITY INCREASE AMOUNTING TO EUR […] MILLION
vybavenie batožiny (jednorazová platba)
Relation between the capital increase and the financial arrangements already put in place in favour of FFHG
kontrola cestujúcich
Before assessing whether the capital increase amounting to EUR […] million in favour of FFHG constitutes State aid, it is necessary to determine whether this capital increase and the financial arrangements previously put in place in favour of FFHG should be considered as separate measures or as a single measure.
Celkové variabilné náklady na let
Germany submitted that the capital increase is intended to refinance the loans covering investments into of infrastructure which were irrevocably committed to be financed or refinanced by the public shareholder between 1997 and 2012, but not been yet been paid.
Deckungsbeitrag I na let
In view of the evidence presented by Germany, the Commission considers that the equity injection is aimed to refinance loans which financed the infrastructure improvements at Frankfurt Hahn airport between 1997 and 2012.
Deckungsbeitrag I na rok [116]
As according to Germany by the decision to undertake these investments, FFHG was entitled to receive this funding.
Podpora nových trás [117]
Hence, the Commission considers that the capital injection of EUR […] million has to be assessed in the context of the previous commitments by the public shareholders when these investments were decided.
Odpisy investícií vykonaných spoločnosťou Ryanair [118]
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.
Náklady na financovanie uvedených investícií (úroková sadzba: 5 %)
Moreover, in line with the considerations in Sections 8.1.1, 8.1.3 and 8.1.4, which apply equally to that measure, the Commission considers that the equity injection constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty, as it involves State resources, it is imputable to the State and confers an selective economic advantage on FFHG that distorts or threatens to distort competition and trade between Member States.
Prínos k postupnému rastu ziskovosti za rok
AID NATURE OF THE MEASURES RELATING TO RYANAIR AND OTHER AIRLINES USING THE AIRPORT
Hoci posúdenie ziskovosti spoločnosti FFHG predložené Nemeckom neobsahovalo prognózu na celé obdobie, na ktoré sa vzťahovala dohoda so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 2002, bolo zrejmé, že sa očakávalo, že dohoda so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 2002 bude zisková od prvého roka činnosti spoločnosti Ryanair.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE MEO PRINCIPLE
Aj keď súkromný subjekt v trhovom hospodárstve bežne vykonáva výpočet na celé obdobie platnosti dohody, v tomto prípade z dôvodu, že sa očakávala tvorba kladného prínosu od prvého roka platnosti dohody, hoci sa počet cestujúcich a očakávaný výnos nemenili (pričom v skutočnosti sa očakával ich rast), spoločnosť FFHG mohla primerane predpokladať, že dohoda poskytne celkový kladný prínos k jej ziskovosti (pozri odôvodnenie 471).
In order to assess whether an agreement between a publicly-owned airport and an airline confers an economic advantage on the latter, it is necessary to analyse whether that agreement complied with the MEO principle.
Prírastkový výnos, ktorý bol zohľadnený v uvedenom posúdení ziskovosti, zahŕňal príjmy z leteckých činností a iné príjmy z neleteckých činností uvedené v dohode so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 2002, ako aj príjmy z bezcolného a bežného predaja.
In applying the MEOT to an agreement between an airport and an airline, it must be assessed whether, at the date when the agreement was concluded, a prudent market economy operator would have expected the agreement to lead to a higher profit than would have been achieved otherwise.
Pokiaľ ide o druhý prípad, spoločnosť FFHG predpokladala, že v roku 2002 vybaví približne 392137 cestujúcich spoločnosti Ryanair [119].
That higher profit is to be measured by the difference between the incremental revenues expected to be generated by the agreement (that is, the difference between the revenues that would be achieved in case the agreement is concluded and the revenues that would be achieved in the absence of the agreement) and the incremental costs expected to be incurred as a result of the agreement (that is, the difference between the costs that would be incurred in case the agreement is concluded and the costs that would be incurred in the absence of the agreement), the resulting cash flows being discounted with an appropriate discount rate.
Skutočný vývoj počtu cestujúcich na letisku dokonca prekonal túto prognózu objemu dopravy (pozri tabuľku 1).
In that analysis, all the relevant incremental revenues and costs associated with the agreement must be taken into account.
Aj keby sa v posúdení ziskovosti spoločnosti FFHG bola podcenila podpora novým trasám, ako uviedla spoločnosť Lufthansa, vyššia marketingová podpora by sa vyvážila vyššími príjmami z leteckých a neleteckých činností z dôvodu vyššieho objemu cestujúcich.
The various elements (discounts to airport charges, marketing grants, other financial incentives) should not be assessed separately.
Zohľadnené prírastkové náklady zahŕňajú náklady na pozemnú obsluhu, ktorú uskutočňuje externá spoločnosť vykonávajúca pozemnú obsluhu, náklady na prijatie ďalších pracovníkov, náklady na marketing a rozvoj nových trás a bezpečnostné kontroly.
Indeed, as stated in the Charleroi judgment: ‘It is (…) necessary, when applying the private investor test, to envisage the commercial transaction as a whole in order to determine whether the public entity and the entity which is controlled by it, taken together, have acted as rational operators in a market economy.
Výška týchto investícií sa odhadovala približne na […] mil. DEM a investície sa týkali rozšírenia terminálu pre cestujúcich.
The Commission must, when assessing the measures at issue, examine all the relevant features of the measures and their context […].’ [105].
Hoci sa výstavba terminálu nepovažovala za potrebnú z dôvodu spoločnosti Ryanair, vo výpočte spoločnosti FFHG boli zohľadnené predpokladané dodatočné investičné náklady na terminál.
The expected incremental revenues must include in particular the revenues from airport charges, taking into account the discounts as well as the additional traffic expected to be generated by the agreement and the non-aeronautical revenues expected to be generated by the traffic.
Kým v posúdení ziskovosti spoločnosti FFHG predloženom Nemeckom budúce platby neboli diskontované k dátumu uzavretia dohody so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 2002, je zrejmé, že sa očakávalo, že dohoda bude zisková.
The expected incremental costs must include in particular all the incremental operating and investment costs that would not be incurred in the absence of the agreement as well as the costs of the marketing grants and other financial incentives.
Komisia poznamenáva, že predpoklad, na ktorom stojí výpočet ex ante a v ktorom sa zohľadnili trhové podmienky prevládajúce v čase vykonania výpočtu, bol primeraný.
The Commission also notes in that context that price differentiation (including marketing support and other incentives) is a standard business practice.
Konkrétne skutočný vývoj počtu cestujúcich na letisku dokonca prekonal tento očakávaný objem osobnej dopravy (pozri tabuľku 1) a viedol k vyšším príjmom z leteckých a neleteckých činností.
