The system of regulated airport charges does not provide for automatic indexation, but allows operators to adapt charges over time following a consultation process.
Táto časť naznačuje, že ak by CCI nesúhlasila s podmienkami zmlúv z roku 2005, spoločnosť Ryanair by hrozila zastavením všetkých svojich aktivít s odletom z letiska v Nîmes pre ekonomicky neudržateľné prevádzkovanie trasy do Londýna.
When the various agreements in question were signed, it was not therefore possible to predict with any certainty the future development of these regulated charges.
Obozretný hospodársky subjekt v trhovom hospodárstve by nepochybne vzal túto hrozbu vážne, a to tým viac, že dohoda z apríla 2000 neobsahovala žiadny jasný a neodvolateľný záväzok zo strany spoločnosti Ryanair prevádzkovať trasu do Londýna počas desiatich rokov stanovených v dohode.
Under these circumstances, the Commission takes the view that an MEO would have simply and logically assumed that the charges would increase each year in line with inflation, by using an inflation rate of 2 %, which is the target rate of the European Central Bank (‘ECB’) for the euro area.
To znamená, že obozretný hospodársky subjekt v trhovom hospodárstve konajúci namiesto CCI by sa pravdepodobne domnieval, že ak by neuzavrel predmetné zmluvy, spoločnosť Ryanair by zastavila svoje aktivity s odletom z letiska v Nîmes.
The charge for ground handling services is not regulated, but is negotiated bilaterally.
Prírastková preprava vyplývajúca zo zmlúv z roku 2005 teda zodpovedá očakávanej preprave na všetkých linkách a frekvenciách uvedených v týchto zmluvách.
In the various airport services agreements signed with Ryanair, this charge takes the form of a fixed amount per rotation, without any indexation, except in those cases where this charge is not stipulated.
Pri každom z týchto leteckých spojení a pre vyššie uvedené dôvody, najmä so zreteľom na marketingové služby ponúkané spoločnosťou Ryanair, bola použitá 85 % vyťaženosť.
The amount resulting from each agreement has therefore been used by the Commission in its analysis.
Keďže frekvencie tretieho a štvrtého leteckého spojenia neboli známe v čase uzavretia zmlúv, Komisia ich pri analýze predpokladu, o ktorý by sa opieral obozretný hospodársky subjekt v trhovom hospodárstve, určila v pomere k minimálnym počtom cestujúcich, ku ktorým sa spoločnosť Ryanair zaviazala v zmluvách z roku 2005.
In order to calculate the proceeds from the three airport charges, which an MEO would have expected from each agreement, the Commission has used the forecasts of the number of rotations (for the landing charge and for the charge for ground handling services) and additional traffic (for the passenger charge), determined for each agreement, and has multiplied these by the unit charge, as determined above.
Komisia preto začlenila do svojej analýzy túto prírastkovú prepravu, ako aj súvisiace prírastkové príjmy a náklady v súlade s uvedenými zásadami.
For the non-aeronautical revenue, with regard to the agreements signed by VTAN, the Commission has used the approach proposed by France, which involves using the amount of the incremental non-aeronautical revenue per passenger resulting from the aforementioned VTAN study.
Komisia takisto do analýzy začlenila náklady vyplývajúce z finančných „stimulov“ stanovených v článku 8 zmluvy o letiskových službách z 10. októbra 2005, t. j. platbu CCI Ryanairu vo výške […] EUR za odlietajúceho cestujúceho a […] EUR za spiatočný let.
As explained above, this study and the associated VTAN business plan form acceptable bases for a projected profitability analysis.
Tabuľka 9
As regards the agreements signed by the CCI, the Commission has had to use a different approach given that, to its knowledge, no projection of the non-aeronautical revenue was made by the CCI prior to these agreements being signed.
Súvaha rekonštrukcie analýzy ziskovosti ex ante zmlúv z 10. októbra 2005
The Commission takes the view that these figures offer the most reliable basis, bearing in mind that, unlike the property-related revenue, which is fixed, the commercial revenue varies according to the traffic, and in an almost proportional manner.
[250000 – 300000]
The Commission considers it likely that an MEO could have determined an amount of incremental non-aeronautical revenue per passenger when the various agreements were signed, based on the airport’s total commercial non-aeronautical revenue per passenger over a long enough period to be representative, and immediately preceding the signature of the agreement in question.
[300000 – 350000]
The Commission has used a three-year period where the figures were available for this period.
[750 – 800]
The Commission has also taken account of inflation by applying an indexation rate of 2 %.
[850 – 900]
Table 5 in this recital gives the airport’s total commercial non-aeronautical revenue observed during the 1999-2011 period, year by year, and, for each year, the average unit amount of non-aeronautical revenue per passenger over the previous three years, or over the previous longest period for which figures are available, if this is less than three years.
[900 – 950]
Table 5
Finančné stimuly
Total commercial non-aeronautical revenue and non-aeronautical revenue per passenger
Dodatok z 30. januára 2006
Year
Z dodatku z 30. januára 2006 a z vysvetlení Francúzska vyplýva, že týmto dodatkom sa iba potvrdilo pokračovanie platnosti zmlúv z roku 2005 (ktorých platnosť sa mala skončiť koncom roka 2009) dovtedy, kým CCI neprestane prevádzkovať letisko v Nîmes.
Total commercial non-aeronautical revenue
Z dodatku zo 17. októbra 2006 a z vysvetlení Francúzska vyplýva, že týmto dodatkom sa znížil objem marketingových služieb poskytnutých v roku 2006 pre nemožnosť zo strany CCI zabezpečiť požadované marketingové materiály, ktoré mali byť umiestnené na webovom sídle spoločnosti Ryanair, a pre pozastavenie poskytovania marketingových počas takmer jedného polroka.
Running average over the previous three years (or over a shorter period depending on the available figures)
Tento stav zapríčinila skutočnosť, že CCI nebola schopná poskytnúť dokumenty, ktoré mali byť uvedené na webovom sídle spoločnosti Ryanair.
[600000-800000]
Poskytnutie týchto marketingových služieb sa preto oneskorilo a odložilo na druhú polovicu roka 2006, čo viedlo k zníženiu sumy vynaloženej na marketingové služby za rok 2006.
[400000-600000]
Keďže oneskorenie možno pripísať komore CCI, ktorá však od AMS dosiahla zníženie platieb za marketingové služby vyplývajúcich zo spoločnej zmluvy z roku 2005, CCI v tejto súvislosti konala ako obozretný hospodársky subjekt v trhovom hospodárstve.
[800000-1000000]
Zmluvy z 2. januára 2007
[1000000-1200000]
Zmluva o letiskových službách z 2. januára 2007 a zmluva o marketingových službách uzavretá v ten istý deň (ďalej len „zmluvy z 2. januára 2007“) sú prvé zmluvy, ktoré VTAN uzatvorila so spoločnosťou Ryanair/AMS.
The incremental costs that could be expected ex ante from each transaction (consisting, where applicable, of an airport services agreement and a marketing services agreement) by an MEO operating the airport in place of the Operators may fall into the following three categories:
letecké spojenie do Charleroi so štyrmi týždennými frekvenciami,
costs of purchasing the marketing services,
letecké spojenie do East Midlands s tromi týždennými frekvenciami.
financial incentives involving the transfer by the airport operator to Ryanair, under the airport services agreement, of part of the proceeds from the airport charges, according to criteria such as the traffic level,
Komisia do svojej analýzy zapracovala túto prírastkovú prepravu s použitím, na základe uvedených dôvodov, 85 % vyťaženosti, ako aj súvisiace prírastkové príjmy a prírastkové prevádzkové náklady v súlade s uvedenými zásadami.
incremental investment costs, due to investments made as a result of the transaction,
Komisia začlenila do analýzy aj náklady vyplývajúce z finančných „stimulov“ stanovených v článku 8 zmluvy o letiskových službách z 2. januára 2007, t. j. platbu VTAN Ryanairu za odlietajúceho cestujúceho, ktorá sa zvyšuje postupne s počtom cestujúcich.
incremental operating costs, namely operating costs (staff, sundry purchases) that may be generated as a result of the transaction.
Tabuľka 10
With regard to the costs of the marketing services agreements and ‘financial incentives’, the Commission has taken into account the amounts stipulated in the various marketing services agreements and the financial incentive mechanisms provided for in the various airport services agreements.
Súvaha rekonštrukcie analýzy ziskovosti ex ante zmlúv z 2. januára 2007
As with the traffic forecasts, the projected marketing payments do not necessarily represent the amounts actually paid, given that certain events occurring after the agreements were signed may have resulted in deviations from these initial figures.
[700000 – 750000]
This is particularly the case where the agreement was terminated early.
Dodatok z 1. augusta 2007
However, these events should not be taken into account when applying the MEO test because they postdate the signature of the agreements.
Prírastková preprava vyplývajúca z dodatku z 1. augusta 2007 teda zodpovedá preprave zodpovedajúcej týmto štyrom týždenným frekvenciám počas predmetného obdobia, ktoré by boli „stratené“ v situácii bez uzatvorenia tohto dodatku.
As regards the incremental investment costs, none have been accepted since there is nothing in the records to suggest that an MEO would have expected to have to make certain investments due to one or more of the agreements covered by the formal investigation procedure.
Tabuľka 11
In the absence of a business plan for each agreement, the incremental operating costs that were foreseeable when the various agreements were signed are the most difficult category to determine.
Súvaha rekonštrukcie analýzy ziskovosti ex ante dodatku z 1. augusta 2007
In particular, the approach used for the non-aeronautical revenue, which, for the period prior to 2007, involved using the airport’s total commercial non-aeronautical revenue in order to determine the revenue per passenger, cannot be used for the operating costs.
Zimná sezóna 2007 – 2008
Such an approach would involve considering the airport’s total operating costs, reduced to the number of passengers, as incremental costs.
[100 – 150]
However, a significant proportion of an airport’s operating costs is fixed, which means that the total operating costs per passenger are likely to be markedly higher, in most cases, than the incremental costs.
Z tabuľky 11 v predchádzajúcom odôvodnení vyplýva, že hospodársky subjekt v trhovom hospodárstve by počas zimnej sezóny 2007 – 2008 očakával záporný prírastkový tok vo výške –[150000 – 200000] EUR.
In order to estimate the incremental operating costs, the Commission must use the airport operator’s analysis, as it is unable to estimate itself how a given agreement may influence the airport’s various cost items.
Dodatok z 1. augusta 2007 preto poskytol hospodársku výhodu spoločnosti Ryanair/AMS.
However, the only ex ante estimates that the Commission can use are found in the VTAN business plan, based on which the VTAN study arrived at a total incremental operating cost per passenger of EUR [2-4].
Zmluvy z 1. novembra 2007
In the absence of anything better, the Commission considers that this figure is an acceptable basis for determining the impact of additional traffic on the airport’s operating costs.
Po zmluvách z 2. januára 2007, ktorých platnosť sa skončila, nasledovala zmluva o letiskových službách a zmluva o marketingových službách uzatvorené na jeden rok 1. novembra 2007 (ďalej len „zmluvy z 1. novembra 2007“).
This figure was established based on the VTAN business plan, which, for the reasons already stated, constitutes a source of reliable ex ante figures, and on the VTAN study.
V prípade neexistencie týchto zmlúv by spoločnosť Ryanair mohla ukončiť všetky svoje aktivity na letisku v Nîmes.
As explained previously, the VTAN study contains a precise and plausible assessment of how the airport’s various operating cost items vary according to traffic.
To znamená, že prírastková preprava vyplývajúca z týchto zmlúv zodpovedá všetkým leteckým spojeniam a frekvenciám uvedeným v týchto zmluvách, t. j.:
The Commission has therefore used this figure in its assessment of the agreements signed with Ryanair and AMS.
letecké spojenie do Londýna s každodennou frekvenciou v letnej sezóne a štyrmi týždennými frekvenciami v zimnej sezóne,
The VTAN agreements were signed between 2007 and 2010, i.e. within a relatively short period of time after the VTAN business plan was produced.
letecké spojenie do Londýna so štyrmi týždennými frekvenciami v letnej sezóne a dvomi týždennými frekvenciami v zimnej sezóne,
The use of the aforementioned estimate of the incremental operating cost per passenger is therefore particularly indicated for these agreements.
letecké spojenie do Charleroi so štyrmi týždennými frekvenciami počas celého roka,letecké spojenie do East Midlands s dvomi týždennými frekvenciami v letnej sezóne.
This is particularly the case with the October 2005 agreements, which were signed just a few months before the VTAN business plan was produced.
Tabuľka 12
The Commission considers that an MEO would not have estimated very different incremental operating costs per passenger in October 2005 and September 2006, because it is highly unlikely that the cost structure of an airport operator would alter considerably over a period of less than a year.
Súvaha rekonštrukcie analýzy ziskovosti ex ante zmlúv z 1. novembra 2007
However, in the absence of a better alternative, the Commission takes the view that the incremental operating cost per passenger of EUR [2-4], adjusted to take account of inflation, estimated at 2 % per year on a forecast basis, is also appropriate for analysing these older agreements.
Leto 2008
It should be noted that, for each agreement signed by the CCI, the incremental operating cost proposed by France (EUR [5-7] per passenger), calculated as the average of the operating costs per passenger observed over the 2000-2006 period, is markedly above the incremental cost per passenger used by the Commission, which the latter deems to be more relevant given the above findings.
[250 – 300]
As a result, for each agreement, the incremental operating cost per passenger is multiplied by the projected incremental traffic in order to determine, year by year, the total incremental operating cost associated with the agreement.
[400 – 450]
Details of the various agreements
[800000 – 850000]
The Commission will now present the results of its analysis of the various agreements, produced using the method described above.
Z tabuľky 12 v predchádzajúcom odôvodnení vyplýva, že hospodársky subjekt v trhovom hospodárstve by očakával záporné prírastkové toky.
The specific features of each agreement that are relevant to this analysis will also be indicated.
To znamená, že zmluvy z 1. novembra 2007 poskytli hospodársku výhodu spoločnosti Ryanair/AMS.
Agreement of 11 April 2000
Zmluvy z 27. augusta 2008
This agreement concerned the operation of a daily route to London using a Boeing 737-200 configured for 130 seats.
Po zmluvách z 1. novembra 2007, ktorých platnosť sa skončila, nasledovala zmluva o letiskových službách a zmluva o marketingových službách uzatvorené na jeden rok 27. augusta 2008 a platné od 1. novembra 2008 (ďalej len „zmluvy z 27. augusta 2008“).
According to France, Ryanair made an oral commitment to the CCI to achieve a load factor of 70 %.
letecké spojenie do Charleroi so štyrmi týždennými frekvenciami počas celého roka.
The Commission takes the view that an MEO might have expected a slightly higher rate, on the reasonable assumption that Ryanair may have allowed a ‘safety margin’ between this oral commitment and the rate actually expected.
Komisia začlenila do analýzy aj náklady vyplývajúce z finančných „stimulov“ stanovených v článku 8 zmluvy o letiskových službách z 27. augusta 2008, t. j. platbu VTAN Ryanairu za odlietajúceho cestujúceho, ktorá sa zvyšuje postupne s počtom cestujúcich.
It has therefore opted for a load factor of 75 %.
Súvaha rekonštrukcie analýzy ziskovosti ex ante zmlúv z 27. augusta 2008
The Commission notes that this factor is more or less equivalent to the factor observed in 2000-2002.
Zima 2008 – 2009
The Commission’s analysis includes the incremental traffic resulting from this 75 % rate, applied to one daily route operated using an aircraft with 130 seats, and the associated incremental revenues and incremental operating costs, according to the principles set out above.

Dodatok z 18. augusta 2010
incremental flows (revenues less costs)
Podľa Francúzska „dodatok z 18. augusta 2010 sa týka jednorazových zmien (dodatočná platba za jednorazové marketingové služby) a veľmi nízkych súm, ktoré nie sú dostatočne významné na to, aby menili letecké spojenia a frekvencie stanovené v pôvodnej zmluve (zmluva z 27. augusta 2008) alebo očakávanú prepravu […].
[100000-150000]
Jeho podpísanie zapadá do kontextu zachovania dobrých obchodných vzťahov medzi správcom letiska a spoločnosťou Ryanair, ktoré sú pre spoločnosť VTAN veľmi dôležité, keďže i) spoločnosť Ryanair bola jej hlavným prevádzkovateľom/zákazníkom a ii) koncesia letiska v Nîmes bola prvá koncesia, ktorú získala skupina Veolia.
[150000-200000]
Dodatok možno považovať za obchodné gesto, ktoré nenarúša významným spôsobom celkovú ekonomiku koncesie.“
Table 6 in the above recital shows that an MEO would have expected positive annual incremental flows each year until the 2000 agreement expired, and consequently a positive incremental profitability.
Jednorazové marketingové služby ustanovené v tomto dodatku neboli dostatočne významné na to, aby zintenzívnili prepravu na dotknutých trasách.
Furthermore, in 2000 Air France was still operating scheduled services from Nîmes airport.
Francúzsko navyše nič podobné netvrdilo, len opísalo tento dodatok ako „obchodné gesto“ zo strany VTAN.
According to France, the CCI was trying at that time to diversify the airport’s commercial activity and, in that context, it initiated discussions with several low-cost airlines, after having also analysed the freight and charter activities.
Zvýšenie platieb za marketingové služby teda predstavovalo čisté prírastkové náklady pre VTAN bez toho, aby bolo možné očakávať nejaký prírastkový príjem ako protihodnotu.
The Commission takes the view, in this context, that the signature of the agreement of 11 April 2000 can be regarded as forming part of an overall strategy of the CCI expected to lead the airport to profitability, at least in the long term.
Tabuľka 15:
It is clear from the above that the agreement of 11 April 2000 did not confer any economic advantage on Ryanair and, consequently, does not constitute State aid in its favour.
Súvaha rekonštrukcie analýzy ziskovosti ex ante dodatku z 18. augusta 2010
Correspondence exchanged between the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002
Ostatné (výnosy)
The agreement of 11 April 2000 was amended by correspondence exchanged between the CCI and Ryanair, dated 28 November 2001, 11, 18, 21 and 24 December 2001, and 2, 5 and 15 February 2002 (‘correspondence exchanged between the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002’).
Dodatok z 30. novembra 2010
It is apparent from this correspondence and from the explanations provided by France in this respect that this correspondence constitutes a transaction that amended the agreement of 11 April 2000 by increasing the marketing payments by FRF […] (i.e. EUR […]) per outbound passenger from 1 January 2002 until the agreement expired, and by further increasing these payments by an additional amount of FRF […] (i.e. EUR […]) per outbound passenger during the period between 29 April and 31 October 2002 (‘the 2002 summer season’), provided that Ryanair added an additional daily flight to its London route during this period.
Prírastková preprava vyplývajúca z dodatku z 30. novembra 2010 teda zodpovedá iba jednej týždennej frekvencii.
According to France, this second flight meant a possible 185 additional flights during the 2002 summer season, which, based on an aircraft configured for 148 passengers and a load factor of 75 % more or less corresponding to the traffic carried previously, could have led to additional traffic totalling 41070 passengers.
Tabuľka 16
The assumption of a 75 % load factor seems reasonable as it corresponds to the traffic carried during the previous period and as the correspondence exchanged between the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002 did not provide for any additional marketing activities, on the part of Ryanair or the CCI, that were likely to significantly increase traffic.
Súvaha rekonštrukcie analýzy ziskovosti ex ante dodatku z 30. novembra 2010
This additional traffic as a result of the second daily flight during the 2002 summer season is the only incremental traffic associated with the correspondence exchanged between the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002, since this correspondence did not amend, except for the 2002 summer season, the daily flight frequency stipulated in the agreement of 11 April 2000 for the Nîmes-London route.
Počet spiatočných letov
The Commission has therefore included this incremental traffic in its analysis, together with the associated incremental revenues and incremental operating costs, according to the principles set out above.
[0 – 50]
As regards the incremental aeronautical revenue, it has taken into account the airport charges applicable in 2001.
Z tabuľky 16 v predchádzajúcom odôvodnení vyplýva, že hospodársky subjekt v trhovom hospodárstve by očakával záporný prírastkový tok vo výške –[0 – 50000] EUR.
With regard to the incremental marketing costs, the Commission has included, in its analysis, the general increase of EUR […] per outbound passenger until the 2000 agreement expired, together with the additional increase stipulated for the 2002 summer season for all passengers (and not just those corresponding to the additional daily flight).
Dodatok z 30. novembra 2010 preto poskytol hospodársku výhodu spoločnosti Ryanair/AMS.
