Therefore, for the purposes of the assessments of the 2000, 2002 and 2003 ASAs, incremental staff costs have been obtained from So.Ge.A.AL's 2000 business plan.
EUR)
The 2004 and the 2006 business plans however do not provide data on incremental costs.
[150 – 200]
To derive estimates of staff costs that are incremental to the Ryanair agreements beyond 2006, statistical analysis was carried out based on data on the airport's aggregate staff costs, in order to determine the proportion of costs that varied with changes in passenger numbers [111].
[400 – 450]
The estimate of the additional staff costs was then derived from the regression results combined with the estimated number of Ryanair passengers.

Other costs: Similarly, regression analysis has been carried out to estimate the incremental costs of goods and materials [112], services [113], security, inventories, as these costs were not mentioned in the business plans.
[950 – 1100]
New route incentives, marketing and/or success fees payable to Ryanair have been included as a cost to the airport.
Prognózy dopravy pre spoločnosť Germanwings sú založené na cieľových pohyboch leteckej dopravy stanovených v dohode z roku 2007 a sú základom predpokladov spoločnosti So.Ge.A.AL týkajúcich sa prírastkových príjmov a prírastkových nákladov v čase uzatvorenia dohody.
Incremental concession costs [114] have been based on per-unit costs at the airport level, multiplied by the traffic forecasts for Ryanair.
Prírastkové príjmy z leteckej činnosti boli založené na zverejnených letiskových poplatkoch a na dohode z roku 2007 spoločne s projekciami dopravy.
According to Italy, So.Ge.A.AL did not aim to recover the cost of the new passenger terminal from charges paid by Ryanair.
Prírastkové náklady boli založené na priemerných jednotkových poplatkoch a na projekciách dopravy a zahŕňajú jednorazovú platbu vo výške […] EUR v prvom roku, ako aj poplatky za úspech (v analýze sa predpokladá, že spoločnosť Germanwings splní cieľové hodnoty týkajúce sa cestujúcich).
At the same time, a ‘terminal value’ was added as revenue to the airport to account for the benefits of the marketing service agreements and airport service agreements which in Italy's view last even after the expiry of the marketing service agreement.

Posúdenie
[4 – 8]
Komisia súhlasí so správnosťou postupu, ktorý použilo Taliansko na odhadnutie počtu cestujúcich a vyplývajúci výpočet očakávaných prírastkových príjmov z leteckej činnosti a z iných ako leteckých činností.
1 January 2002 — 31 December 2012
To isté platí, pokiaľ ide o výpočet prírastkových nákladov, ktoré zahŕňajú marketingové platby.
[3 – 6]
Komisia sa však domnieva, že regresná analýza mala byť založená na údajoch, ktoré by spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL mala k dispozícii v čase uzatvorenia dohôd, a preto mala byť vykonaná len pre obdobie pred podpísaním týchto dohôd, čo je v tomto prípade obdobie rokov 1998 – 2006 pre dohody so spoločnosťami Germanwings a Volare a obdobie rokov 1998 – 2009 pre dohody so spoločnosťami Alitalia a Meridiana.
1 September 2003 — 1 September 2014 [9 – 12] 2006 ASA (3 April 2006) 1 January 2006 — 31 December 2010
Na rozdiel od dohôd so spoločnosťou Ryanair z rokov 2000, 2002 a 2003, v prípade ktorých Komisia akceptovala, že nemožno vykonať zmysluplnú regresiu na základe údajov o nákladoch ex ante, takže boli použité údaje o nákladoch za obdobie rokov 1998 – 2008 namiesto toho, čo by rozumný súkromný subjekt v trhovom hospodárstve očakával v čase uzatvorenia týchto dohôd (pozri odôvodnenie 491), v prípade dohody so spoločnosťou Germanwings z roku 2007 a dohody so spoločnosťou Meridiana z roku 2010 bolo k dispozícii viac dátových bodov na vykonanie regresie údajov o nákladoch ex ante, ktoré by spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL mala k dispozícii v čase uzatvorenia predmetných dohôd.
[6 – 9]
Komisia ďalej poznamenáva, že Taliansko akceptovalo podobný postup pre analýzu dohôd so spoločnosťou Ryanair z roku 2006, ktoré boli uzatvorené skôr ako dohoda so spoločnosťou Germanwings z roku 2007.
1 January 2010 — 31 December 2013
Komisia si tiež všimla prístup Talianska, ktoré nepovažovalo konečnú hodnotu za spôsobujúcu prínosy vyplývajúce aj po ukončení obdobia platnosti dohôd, ktoré spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL uzatvorila so spoločnosťami Alitalia, Meridiana, Volare a Germanwings.
[9 – 12]
Tento prístup je v súlade s argumentmi, ktoré Komisia uviedla v odôvodneniach 445 až 450.
The Commission takes note that for the purpose of the profitability analysis of the 2006 and 2010 ASAs, Italy considered a duration of 10 years for the 2006 ASA and nine years for the 2010 ASA, rather than the period during which the agreement was set to apply initially, namely five and four years respectively.
Komisia na záver poznamenáva, že v marketingovej dohode so spoločnosťou Meridiana (platnej v období od júna 2010 do októbra 2010) bolo stanovené, že môže byť predĺžená na obdobie rokov 2011 a 2012, ak počet cestujúcich prepravených leteckým dopravcom prekročí minimálne prahové hodnoty, ktoré sú v nej stanovené.
Italy did however also provide to the Commission the results of the profitability analysis when taking into account the initial duration of the 2006 and 2010 ASAs as strictly defined in those agreements.
Taliansko vysvetlilo, že spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL v čase podpísania dohôd očakávala, že spoločnosť Meridiana naplní požadovanú minimálnu úroveň dopravy cestujúcich, a teda že spoločnosť Meridiana predĺži marketingovú dohodu (a tým aj dohodu o obsluhe) so spoločnosťou So.Ge.A.AL za podobných podmienok.
In defence of its position, Italy argued that at the time of signing each of the agreements with Ryanair, So.Ge.A.AL had reasonable expectations that these would be renewed on similar terms.
Komisia nemôže akceptovať toto tvrdenie.
In particular, based on the explicit provision in the 2006 ASA that the agreement could be extended for an additional five-year term until 1 January 2016, So.Ge.A.AL expected this agreement to be renewed on similar terms.
Po prvé, v dohode o obsluhe so spoločnosťou Meridiana nebolo žiadne výslovné ustanovenie o možnom predĺžení.
Similarly, the 2010 ASA was expected to cover the period between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2013, with the potential for the ASA to be extended for an additional five-year term until 31 December 2018.
Takáto doložka bola len v marketingovej dohode.
The Commission cannot accept this argument.
Komisia sa domnieva, že v apríli 2010, keď bola podpísaná dohoda o obsluhe, nemohla spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL počítať s predĺžením žiadnej z dohôd za podobných podmienok, keďže toto predĺženie bolo hypotetické.
First, neither the 2006 nor the 2010 agreement lays down its automatic prolongation once the agreement has run its full duration.
Komisia sa preto domnieva, že v analýze ziskovosti sa malo brať do úvahy len počiatočné trvanie dohody jeden rok.
The 2006 ASA rather lays down that So.Ge.A.AL undertakes, upon expiry of the term of the agreements, to renegotiate a suitable airport use service package with Ryanair for an additional five-year term, provided that certain conditions are met, notably the carrier meets its obligations in terms of marketing services in full and So.Ge.A.AL obtains the concession to operate the airport beyond 1 January 2011.
Komisia si zároveň všimla postup Talianska, že odôvodňuje očakávania spoločnosti So.Ge.A.AL, pokiaľ ide o predĺženie dohody o obsluhe, len na základe možnosti predĺženia marketingovej dohody (a nie dohody o obsluhe).
The Commission considers that based on that provision alone, in 2006 So.Ge.A.AL could not have relied on an extension, not the least on similar terms, such extension being hypothetical and depending in particular on Ryanair's willingness to accept it.
Komisia sa domnieva, že na základe takéhoto postupu je ťažké prijať argument vyjadrený v priebehu vyšetrovania spoločnosťami Ryanair a AMS, že marketingové dohody a dohody o letiskových službách možno jednoducho oddeliť.
Indeed, the above-mentioned provision does not legally bind Ryanair to the conclusion of a new agreement with the airport manager, nor does it provide any certainty in respect of the observance by either party of the conditions in question, notably in view of the significant uncertainty surrounding the award of the comprehensive concession to the airport operator at that time.
Komisia rekonštruovala analýzu na základe úvah uvedených v odôvodneniach 525 až 532.
The Commission considers that the 2010 ASA provides even less certainty as to its potential extension.
Vyplývajúce čisté súčasné hodnoty pre tieto dohody v čase ich uzatvorenia na obdobie, počas ktorého mali platiť, sú uvedené v tabuľke 18.
Article 2 — ‘Term’ reads: ‘the agreement may be extended for an additional five-year period under the conditions and terms set forth herein, or as amended by the parties, provided that prior written consent can be reached by both parties at least six months prior to the expiry of the initial term. (…) Any subsequent renewal of this agreement shall be negotiated between the Parties, at least six months before the expiry of the additional term.’
Tabuľka 18
It is therefore evident that any extension of the agreement would have been subject to negotiations between the parties and could not therefore have been assumed by So.Ge.A.AL at the time the 2010 ASA was signed.
Čisté súčasné hodnoty dohôd, ktoré spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL uzatvorila so spoločnosťami Air One/Alitalia, Meridiana, Volare a Germanwings
Second, the Commission notes that there is evidence in the case file that in 2009 tensions between So.Ge.A.AL and Ryanair put the contractual relation with the carrier at risk.
Čistá súčasná hodnota počas trvania dohody (v tis.
At that time Ryanair had conditioned the continuation of its operations at Alghero airport on the conclusion of a supplemental agreement.
EUR)
In fact, it is apparent from the minutes of So.Ge.A.AL's Board of Directors of 7 July 2009, 9 September 2009 and 23 February 2010 provided by Italy that the decision of the airport manager to eventually sign the new ASA with Ryanair for a five-year period took into account the fact that the latter agreement did not lay down penalties for the early termination of the agreement.
2007 – 2010
Ryanair had been forcefully asking for the conclusion of a supplemental agreement, which ‘will certainly result in the increase of the value of co-marketing contributions’.
2010 – 2015
Should such agreement not be signed immediately, the carrier would cease operation of all routes from Alghero airport [117];a document outlining the evolution of the arrangements with Ryanair and the current state of the relations with the airline, putting forward what in Ryanair's view would be the following steps, which included the cancellation or the reduction of the frequency of intra EU flights and their replacement with national routes was discussed [118];the Board inquired on the negotiating margin, if any, in respect of the contractual relation with Ryanair, ‘given that the shareholders had not given the Board a mandate to terminate the agreement with the carrier’ [119].(480) It also results from the minutes of So.Ge.A.AL's Shareholders Assembly of 26 October 2001 that the company considered the termination of the 2000 ASA before its expiry and that this generated long debates among the shareholders.
[12500 – 13000]
On this basis the Commission concludes that at the time the 2006 and 2010 Ryanair ASAs were concluded, So.Ge.A.AL could not have expected that those agreements are prolonged, or at least could not have expected that they are prolonged under the same contractual terms.
2010 – 2011
The Commission also notes that based on the information submitted by Italy, the agreement with another airline subject to the investigation, Germanwings, did not run its full duration and the carrier only operated from the airport in 2007.
So zreteľom na to, že diskontovaný výsledok je pre dohody so spoločnosťami Meridiana a Germanwings negatívny, Komisia konštatuje, že spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL sa uzatvorením týchto dohôd nesprávala ako súkromný subjekt v trhovom hospodárstve.
Italy has in the course of the investigation clarified that the airline had decided to cease operations from the airport as it could not generate sufficient traffic to break even from a financial perspective.
Prevádzkovateľ letiska nemohol očakávať, že pokryje aspoň prírastkové náklady vyplývajúce z týchto dohôd.
The Commission therefore concludes that for the purpose of the profitability analysis of the 2006 and 2010 ASAs, only the period laid down by the ASAs, namely five years for the 2006 ASA and four years for the 2010 ASA should be taken into account (the NPVs in Table 10 were calculated based on the initial duration of the agreements, as set out in the ASAs).
Keďže spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL sa nesprávala ako súkromný subjekt v trhovom hospodárstve, jej rozhodnutím uzatvoriť dohody za týchto podmienok bola spoločnostiam Germanwings a Meridiana poskytnutá hospodárska výhoda.
Besides, the Commission notes that the 2006 and the 2010 ASAs and marketing services agreements signed between So.Ge.A.AL, Ryanair and AMS, applied retrospectively, as follows:
Prehľad prírastkových nákladov a príjmov, ktoré bolo možné očakávať v čase uzatvorenia dohôd so spoločnosťami Meridiana a Germanwings, je zhrnutý v tabuľke 19.
the 2006 ASA and the marketing services agreement were signed on 3 April 2006, but applied retrospectively from 1 January 2006;
Tabuľka 19
the 2010 ASA and the marketing services agreement were signed on 20 October 2010, but applied retrospectively from 1 January 2010.
Prírastková ziskovosť dohôd so spoločnosťami Germanwings a Meridiana
In other words, the agreements concluded in April 2006 and October 2010 simply formalised terms which were agreed before, ahead of the period during which these agreements applied retrospectively.
Predpokladaný prírastkový príjem z leteckej činnosti
On that basis the Commission considers that considering each agreement over its scheduled duration is in line with an ex ante approach and that therefore in the analysis of the profitability of the 2006 and 2010 agreements, the period for which the agreements applied retrospectively should not be excluded.
Predpokladaný prírastkový príjem z iných ako leteckých činností
However, based on the grounds detailed above, the Commission considers that the benefits a prudent MEO would expect from a marketing service agreement would be strictly limited to the term of operation of the carrier at the airport, as set out in the airport service agreement.
Predpokladané prírastkové náklady
On this basis the Commission considers that any ‘terminal value’ aiming to reflect future benefits of the marketing services beyond the term of application of those agreements should be left out from of the analysis.
Náklady na marketingovú podporu
The Commission also notes that Italy has not considered a ‘terminal value’ to account for benefits derived after expiry of the term of the agreements concluded by So.Ge.A.AL with Alitalia, Meridiana, Volare and Germanwings (see recital 528).
Predpokladaný nominálny výsledok
Furthermore, the Commission finds that the approach taken by Italy in estimating the passenger numbers, and calculating on that basis the expected incremental aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues (without prejudice to the assessment in the previous recital concerning the ‘terminal value’), is sound.
Na rozdiel od toho sa od dohôd so spoločnosťami Volare a Alitalia mohlo očakávať, že povedú k pozitívnemu diskontovanému výsledku.
Although the Commission considers that the assumptions concerning the traffic projections should normally be exclusively based on the route frequencies and passenger targets stipulated in the ASAs and the load factor that could have been reasonably expected by So.Ge.A.AL at the time each ASA with Ryanair was concluded, given that at the time the 2006 and 2010 ASAs where signed So.Ge.A.AL expected Ryanair traffic to exceed the minimum targets set out in the agreements, the Commission agrees that So.Ge.A.AL's expectations at the time the agreements were signed, as set out in the business plans, represent the most accurate source for inferring So.Ge.A.AL's forecasts of Ryanair traffic at the time of signing the 2006 and 2010 ASAs.
Spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL teda uzatvorením týchto dohôd neposkytla týmto dopravcom hospodársku výhodu.
The Commission in addition considers that So.Ge.A.AL's expectations of Ryanair's load factor, at the time of signing each of the agreements, as reasonable, since they were based on its experience and knowledge of the airline's business model.
Na základe analýzy, ktorú vykonalo Taliansko, ziskovosti dohôd, ktoré spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL uzatvorila so spoločnosťami Alitalia a Volare, Komisia s uspokojením konštatuje, že by bolo od súkromného subjektu v trhovom hospodárstve, ktorý sa riadi vyhliadkami na ziskovosť, rozumné prijať podmienky týchto dohôd v čase ich podpísania.
The Commission notes that, according to Italy, So.Ge.A.AL did not aim to recover the cost of the new passenger terminal from charges paid by Ryanair.
Tieto dohody teda neobsahujú prvky pomoci v prospech leteckých dopravcov.
In this respect, it indeed appears that it was the development of tourism in general which required the expansion of Alghero airport's terminal capacity in order to accommodate anticipated growth in traffic.
Komisia však na základe posúdenia v odôvodneniach 525 až 536 vyvodzuje záver, že pre spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL nebolo rozumné uzatvoriť dohody so spoločnosťami Meridiana a Germanwings.
Prior to the investments being undertaken at Alghero airport, despite significant potential, the development of the tourism sector was impeded by a lack of international connectivity.
Každá z týchto dohôd zahŕňa hospodársku výhodu pre príslušného leteckého dopravcu.
Alghero airport had reached capacity constraints in 2003 and 2004, and, therefore, investments were required to enable the airport to handle more passengers.
Dohody so spoločnosťami bmibaby, Air Italy a Air Vallée
So.Ge.A.AL's business plan from 2004 predicted that total passenger numbers at the airport would increase by approximately 30 % in 2008 compared to levels prior to the expansion of the airport's capacity in 2004.
Ako je uvedené vyššie, Taliansko v liste z 10. júna 2014 predložilo Komisii analýzu ziskovosti ex ante dohôd, ktoré spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL uzatvorila s ostatnými vyšetrovanými leteckými dopravcami, t. j. bmibaby, Air Italy a Air Vallée.
While it is clear from the business plans drawn up by So.Ge.A.AL at various times in the period under investigation that the airport manager relied on low-costs airlines as major growth driver (and that the company would return to viability once it was awarded the comprehensive concession), this objective was not linked to the relationship with any specific airline.
Príslušné dohody o obsluhe, ktoré spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL uzatvorila so spoločnosťami Air Italy, Air Vallée a bmibaby, sú zhrnuté v tabuľke 20:
Indeed, none of the ASAs with Ryanair mentions any investments to be carried out by the airport manager.
Tabuľka 20
In this sense, the Commission notes that the investment in the expansion of the terminal was approved by CIPE in 1997 and therefore long before Ryanair started operations at Alghero airport.
Dohody o obsluhe so spoločnosťami bmibaby, Air Italy a Air Vallée
The application to ENAC for the comprehensive concession was part of So.Ge.A.AL's strategy with the objective to enhance the tourism sector by attracting low cost carriers.
Predpokladané obdobie trvania zmluvy
This strategy required the expansion of the terminal capacity to accommodate the anticipated traffic growth, a ‘comprehensive’ concession to ensure efficient and effective operations of the airport and contracts with low cost carriers.
Poplatok za obsluhu za spiatočný let
On this basis, the Commission accepts that the investment costs connected to the new terminal are not imputable to any of the Ryanair agreements and therefore are not part of the incremental costs.
1. jún 2008 – 31. december 2010
The Commission further notes that expected incremental costs have been estimated by Italy following a bottom-up approach.
9. august 2010 – 30. august 2010
A regression analysis has been followed to identify how operating costs vary as passenger numbers change, in order to estimate incremental costs which could have expected by So.Ge.A.AL at the time of signing the ASAs with Ryanair.
29. máj 2010 – 30. september 2010
In the first step, a regression analysis has been carried out to identify the impact of a change in the airport's passenger numbers on the airport's operating costs.
Metodika, ktorú Taliansko použilo na preskúmanie prírastkovej ziskovosti dohôd, ktoré spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL uzatvorila so spoločnosťami Air Italy, Air Vallée a bmibaby, je opísaná v odôvodneniach 542 až 545.
In the second step, the estimate of the additional operating costs as a result of the Ryanair agreements has been derived from the results of the first step combined with forecasts of the number of Ryanair passengers.
Prírastkové príjmy z leteckej činnosti zahŕňajú príjmy z poplatkov za pristátie, poplatkov za obsluhu batožiny, poplatkov za cestujúcich, obsluhy lietadiel a predaja leteniek.
For the 2006 and 2010 ASAs, the incremental cost data used by Italy in the regression pre-date the conclusion of the agreements which would have been available to So.Ge.A.AL at the date the airport manager entered the agreements in question.
Všetky poplatky okrem poplatkov za obsluhu vychádzali zo zverejneného rozpisu poplatkov letiska.
However, since costs data are only available for the period 1998 – 2010, if a similar approach was followed for the 2000, 2002 and 2003 agreements there would be only two, three and four data points available respectively to conduct the regression analysis.
Prírastkové príjmy z iných ako leteckých činností boli odhadnuté podľa postupu opísaného v odôvodnení 502.
The Commission agrees that this would be insufficient to obtain robust results.
Predpokladané prírastkové náklady zahŕňajú náklady týkajúce sa zamestnancov [127], obsluhy, tovaru, služieb a materiálu, ako aj sumu koncesných nákladov spoločnosti So.Ge.A.AL.
Absent sufficient ex ante data to allow to reconstruct the profitability analysis based on data which would have been available to So.Ge.A.AL at the time the agreements in question were signed, the Commission exceptionally (see recital 284) considers that for these agreements a regression based on outturn data for the whole period 1998-2010 is an acceptable proxy to what the reasonable expectations of a MEO would have been.
So zreteľom na to, že relevantné dohody, ktoré spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL uzatvorila so spoločnosťami Air Vallée a bmibaby, sa netýkali marketingových služieb, v analýze nie sú posúdené platby za marketing.
Based on the assumptions detailed above, the Commission has reconstructed the ex ante profitability analysis of the agreements with Ryanair based on the incremental costs and revenues that could be reasonably expected by a market economy operator acting in lieu of So.Ge.A.AL at the time of the conclusion of each of the agreements under investigation in the present case.
Regresná analýza bola vykonaná pre počty cestujúcich a náklady na úrovni letiska na základe údajov ex ante, ktoré by spoločnosť So.Ge.A.AL mala k dispozícii v čase uzatvorenia predmetných dohôd, konkrétne za obdobie rokov 1998 – 2007 pre dohodu so spoločnosťou Air Italy a obdobie rokov 1998 – 2009 pre dohody so spoločnosťami Air Vallée a bmibaby.
