The new Guidelines also indicate that airports with up to 700000 passengers per annum may not be able to cover their operating costs to a large extent.
V súčasnosti zakotvený v článku 1609w všeobecného daňového zákonníka.
Nîmes airport is indeed a small airport as its traffic did not exceed 320000 passengers during the 1999-2011 period.
Nebezpečenstvá vyplývajúce z prítomnosti zvierat zahŕňajú najmä nebezpečenstvá zrážky s vtákmi, ktorých dôsledkom sú zrážky medzi lietadlami a vtákmi ohrozujúce bezpečnosť osôb a majetku na palube lietadla.
As a result, state intervention to ensure the economic equilibrium of Nîmes airport, and consequently its continued operation, was necessary during the 2000-2011 period.
Súčasťou plnenia tejto úlohy môže byť napríklad vybudovanie a údržba oplotenia, ktoré by vymedzovalo verejné a vyhradené priestory alebo zavedenie monitorovacieho systému v blízkosti vyhradených priestorov.
According to the new Guidelines, it should be examined whether other policy instruments or aid instruments could have been used and would have been less distortive of competition.
Táto úloha spočíva najmä v monitorovaní hluku, prípadne súvisiaceho s trasami lietadiel, ako aj v kontrolách kvality ovzdušia a vody v okolí letísk.
As already indicated, the airport recorded a very large operating deficit every year during the 2002-2011 period.
Úlohy oprávnené na financovanie z letiskovej dane, ako sú opísané vyššie.
In order to keep it operating, it was therefore difficult, in this context, to envisage any instruments other than non-repayable operating subsidies, such as the exceptional operating subsidies, flat-rate contribution and specific public contribution, and interest-free repayable advances without a specific repayment deadline.
Všeobecné náklady sa týkajú predovšetkým podporných funkcií, ako sú riadenie ľudských zdrojov, finančné záležitosti, finančná kontrola, nákupy, nededikované informačné systémy, právne oddelenie, všeobecné služby, generálne riaditeľstvo, účtovníctvo a dohľad nad správou.
Incentive effect and proportionality of the aid
Článok 31 koncesnej zmluvy z roku 1965.
According to the new Guidelines, it should be ascertained whether, in the absence of the operating aid, the level of economic activity of the airport would have been significantly reduced and whether, in addition, the aid was limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
Dohoda o delegovaní medzi štátom a SMAN z 1. februára 2006, článok 8.
As explained previously, the arrival of the TGV as well as the departure of Air France in 2001, followed two years later by the withdrawal of Air Littoral, caused the number of flights to Nîmes airport to fall dramatically.
Preambula dohody o delegovaní medzi štátom a SMAN z 1. februára 2006.
Combined with the conditions of the agreements signed with Ryanair/AMS from 2002, these factors also seriously eroded the airport’s financial situation.
Dohoda o delegovaní medzi štátom a SMAN z 1. februára 2006, článok 27.
As a result, in the absence of support measures intended to finance the airport’s operating deficit, its activity would have significantly reduced, if not completely halted.
Dohoda o delegovaní medzi štátom a SMAN z 1. februára 2006, článok 29.
Furthermore, as explained below, the aid amounts were limited to the minimum necessary.
Pripomienky Francúzska k rozhodnutiu o začatí konania, s. 8 a 13.
The operating aid granted to the CCI-Airport was limited to the amounts needed to ensure the airport’s financial stability, without going beyond what was necessary.
Pripomienky Francúzska k rozhodnutiu o začatí konania, s. 8.
In so far as, without this aid, the CCI-Airport would have recorded a significant operating deficit every year, the airport’s activity would have needed to have been considerably reduced, if not completely halted, in order to ensure its financial stability.
Dôverné informácie.
The aid therefore had an incentive effect within the meaning of point 124 of the new Guidelines.
Prvé dve sumy sú zoskupené v stĺpci „obce a združenia obcí“.
As a result, with regard to the exceptional operating subsidies received in 2005, France has explained that the CCI’s 2005 budget was established on the basis of revenue and cost forecasts taking account of the traffic forecasts and that, given the airport’s programme, the 2005 forecasts apparently revealed a financing need of EUR [1-3] million.
Táto suma je uvedená v stĺpci „iné“ v tabuľke vyššie.
This need corresponded to the difference between the forecast costs (EUR [4-6] million) and the forecast revenue (EUR [2-4] million).
Ako sú uvedené na strane pasív súvahy CCI-letisko v položke „Medziinštitucionálne preddavky“.
However, the exceptional operating subsidies received by the CCI-Airport in 2005 totalled only EUR 1,35 million, well below the financing need of EUR [1-3] million.
Podľa listov francúzskych orgánov z 27. februára 2012.
The shortfall of approximately EUR [600000-800000] was made up by the CCI, partly in the form of repayable advances.
Od 8. augusta 2006 CCI požadovala vrátenie preddavkov vo výške viac ako 9 miliónov EUR.
Likewise, the exceptional operating subsidy of EUR 200000 received from the CCI’s general arm in 2006 covered only part of the operating deficit.
Článok 46 koncesnej zmluvy z roku 1965.
The decision of the CCI’s General Meeting of 14 December 2005 in fact shows that this exceptional operating subsidy stemmed from an agreement between the SMAN and the CCI, under which the latter undertook to cover only part of the airport’s operating deficit, limited to EUR 200000, with the rest being covered by the SMAN, as the new owner.
Články 1 a 1a CDSP.
The repayable advances granted by the CCI’s general arm stemmed from the obligation to present a balanced budget for the airport, which was imposed on the CCI by the concession agreement.
Pripomienky Francúzska k rozhodnutiu o začatí konania, s. 15.
The amount of the advances was defined each year when the budget was prepared, in order to ensure its balance.
CDSP z 12. decembra 2006, článok 25.
The preparation of budgets for airports managed by chambers of commerce and industry is subject to strict procedures intended to ensure that public contributions used to balance the budget are limited to the minimum necessary.
Dodatok č. 2 z 20. júla 2010.
Accordingly, Circular No 111 of 30 March 1992 laying down the accounting and financial budget rules applicable to chambers of commerce and industry provides for a precise procedure that particularly governs how the general arm of a chamber of commerce and industry must determine the budget for an airport’s operation.
List Francúzska z 20. marca 2014.
This Circular in particular stipulates that the chamber of commerce and industry must determine, for the purposes of preparing the budget: (i) the state of operating transactions; (ii) the state of self-financing capacity; and (iii) the state of capital transactions.
Pripomienky Francúzska k rozhodnutiu o začatí konania, s. 56.
In addition, a number of documents have to be annexed to the budget proposal for approval (schedule of services provided and inter-organisation contributions, and schedule of employees and wage bills, etc.).
Listy z 28. novembra 2001, 11. decembra a 18. decembra 2002, 21. a 24. decembra 2001, 2. a 5. februára 2002 a 15. februára 2002.
The aim of this procedure is particularly to ensure that the budget balances without overcompensation.
Listy z 10. marca a zo 16. marca 2004.
Consequently, the amounts of the repayable advances did not exceed what was necessary to finance the CCI-Airport’s operating deficit, bearing in mind the exceptional operating subsidies.
List Francúzska z 25. apríla 2014.
As a result, the operating aid received by the CCI-Airport had an incentive effect and was limited to the minimum necessary.
„[…] including greater prominence and a stronger brand, alongside network externalities and repeat passenger.“
The operating aid granted to VTAN, which involved large amounts, was also necessary to ensure the airport’s financial stability.
Spojenie do Liverpoolu, ktoré bolo tiež prevádzkované v tomto období.
Without this aid, VTAN would have recorded a significant operating deficit and the airport’s activity would have needed to have been considerably reduced, if not completely halted.
Francúzsko vysvetlilo, že toto spojenie nebolo v rokoch 2005 – 2012 ukončené, ale išlo vždy o sezónne spojenie.
The flat-rate contribution, as originally determined, was calculated based on a provisional budget drawn up by Veolia Transport.
Francúzsko zdôrazňuje, že toto spojenie sa neuvádza v zmluve o marketingových službách z 27. augusta 2008, keďže jeho štatút bol neistý (plánovalo sa jeho zrušenie), pričom sa pokračovalo v jeho prevádzke od roku 2008 až do roku 2011 so zníženou frekvenciou.
According to this budget, in the ‘reference scenario’ the flat-rate contribution of EUR [1,2-1,5] million would allow VTAN to achieve net margins [of 0-5 % on average] throughout the term of the public service delegation.
Zmluva o marketingových službách z roku 2008 preto neobsahovala nákup služieb na webovom sídle spoločnosti Ryanair pre toto letecké spojenie.
At the SMAN’s invitation, Veolia Transport also included a ‘downturn scenario’ corresponding to a reduction in activity, whereby the flat-rate contribution would drop to EUR [1,0-1,3] million.
Toto spojenie bolo v rokoch 2008 – 2010 zabezpečované bez marketingovej protihodnoty.
In this scenario, VTAN would achieve net margins [of 0-5 % on average] throughout the term of the public service delegation.
Pozri poznámku pod čiarou č. 42.
In the light of this information, the net margins expected by Veolia Transport seem reasonable, and the downturn scenario was included so that these margins would not unduly increase if there were a reduction in activity.
List Francúzska z 26. mája 2014.
The flat-rate contribution was therefore initially designed to be limited to the minimum necessary to ensure the financial stability of the airport and a reasonable profit for VTAN.
Usmernenia 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).
Its subsequent amendments followed this logic.
Conseil d’Etat, 21. február 2011, vec Société Ophrys/CA Clermont Communauté, podanie č. 337349.
As a result, the increase in the flat-rate contribution made by Amendment No 1 corresponded to the unforeseen loss of revenue that had initially been taken into account by Veolia Transport in its previous estimates, whilst the increase resulting from Amendment No 3 corresponded to additional marketing expenditure incurred by VTAN that was not anticipated at the start.
Rozhodnutie Komisie 2012/21/EÚ z 20. decembra 2011 o uplatňovaní článku 106 ods. 2 Zmluvy o fungovaní Európskej únie na štátnu pomoc vo forme náhrady za službu vo verejnom záujme udeľovanej niektorým podnikom povereným poskytovaním služieb všeobecného hospodárskeho záujmu (Ú. v. EÚ L 7, 11.1.2012, s. 3).
Moreover, VTAN’s profit and loss accounts observed ex post show that the flat-rate contribution did not exceed the minimum necessary, in that it did not lead to VTAN recording excessive profits.
Rozsudok vo veci C-482/99, Francúzsko/Komisia, EU:C:2002:294.
In fact, according to Table 6 in the opening decision, VTAN’s net margin was actually negative throughout the 2007-2010 period.
Rozsudok vo veci C-482/99, Francúzsko/Komisia, EU:C:2002:294, body 52 a 58.
The specific public contribution implemented by Amendment No 4 to the CDSP was calculated based on a provisional budget reflecting VTAN’s new operating costs following the closure of the airbase.
Conseil d’Etat, stanovisko č. 351.654 zo 16. júna 1992.
It was also stipulated that its amount would be readjusted ex post according to the results achieved, in order to avoid overpayments.

As a result, the operating aid received by VTAN had an incentive effect and was limited to the minimum necessary.
Ryanair uvádza, že letisko v Nîmes možno porovnať s letiskami […], […], […], […] a […].
Assessment of distortions of competition and effects on trade
Znamená to, že letisko môže znížiť riziko vyplývajúce z konjunkturálneho cyklu a zlepšiť svoje peňažné toky, a tým znížiť mieru výnosnosti, ktorú vyžaduje bežný súkromný investor.
According to the new Guidelines, when assessing the compatibility of operating aid granted before 4 April 2014, the Commission will take account of the distortions of competition and the effects on trade.
Článok 3 zmlúv z 10. októbra 2005, 1. novembra 2007 a 27. augusta 2008.
Aid granted to a Union airport can potentially have a negative effect on all Union airports.
Ryanair uvádza možnosť, že pomoc bola použitá na „zmazanie“ strát vyplývajúcich z predchádzajúcich transakcií s Air Liberté a Air Littoral, ktoré sa dostali do platobnej neschopnosti, pričom dlhovali letisku značné sumy, alebo z nej mal prospech bývalý správca parkovacích miest na letisku.
In fact, all Union airports are in competition with each other to attract airlines, in the context of the intra-Union internal air transport market.
Rozhodnutie Komisie 2004/393/ES z 12. februára 2004 o výhodách priznaných Valónskym regiónom a Brussels South Charleroi Airport leteckej spoločnosti Ryanair pri vytvorení jej základne v Charleroi (Ú. v. EÚ L 137, 30.4.2004, s. 1).
In the case of operating aid allowing the airport to remain economically viable, the intensity of this general effect on other airports depends on the volume of activity of the aided airport, which can be expressed in particular by number of passengers, routes and frequencies.
Oxera, „Are prices set by AMS in line with the market rate?“, vypracované pre spoločnosť Ryanair 20. decembra 2013.
It should be noted in this regard that, during the period in question (2002-2011), Nîmes airport remained a small airport.
Oxera, „How should AMS agreements be treated within the profitability analysis as part of the market economy operator test?“, vypracované pre sp oločnosť Ryanair 17. januára 2014.
Its traffic peaked at 320000 passengers in 2001, with between 130000 and 300000 passengers per year in all the other years.
Rozhodnutie Komisie 2011/60/EÚ z 27. januára 2010 o štátnej pomoci C-12/08 (ex NN 74/07) – Slovensko – Zmluva medzi Letiskom Bratislava a spoločnosťou Ryanair (Ú. v. EÚ L 27, 1.2.2011, s. 24), odôvodnenie 114.
During this same period, the scheduled services offered from this airport were limited to Air Littoral’s Paris route, which was only operated until 2003, and those routes operated by Ryanair (a maximum of four at the same time), with one flight per day or less, except potentially in the summer when two flights per day may have been available on certain routes, depending on the year.
Obežník č. 111 z 30. marca 1992, ktorým sa ustanovujú rozpočtové, účtovné a finančné pravidlá uplatniteľné na ACFCI, CRCI, CCI a GIC.
Nîmes airport’s volume of activity therefore remained modest.
Na účely tohto rozhodnutia sa pod pojmom „zmluvy“ rozumejú jednotlivé dotknuté zmluvy, bez ohľadu na ich právnu formu (vrátane dodatkov, „side letters“ atď.).
The general effect of the aid granted to this airport on all the other airports was therefore relatively limited.
Komisia uvádza, že prvá zo zmlúv je z 11. apríla 2000 (prvá zmluva Ryanair/CCI), zatiaľ čo vyšetrovanie Komisie sa začalo listom zo 16. marca 2010, ktorý sa vzťahoval, okrem iného, na toto opatrenie.
However, the effects of operating aid granted to a given airport on another airport increase if the two airports are close to each other.
Z toho vyplýva, že premlčacia lehota podľa článku 15 nariadenia (ES) č. 659/1999 z 22. marca 1999 ustanovujúce podrobné pravidlá na uplatňovanie článku 108 zmluvy o fungovaní Európskej únie (Ú. v. ES L 83, 27.3.1999, s. 1) bola prerušená pred jej uplynutím.
In particular, when one of the airports is located within the catchment area of the other, the competition between them to attract airlines wanting to serve the region in question is especially intense.
Odpoveď na žiadosť o informácie z 23. decembra 2013.
Moreover, when there are routes from each of these two airports to the same destination, these airports are in competition to attract passengers wanting to travel to this destination, who have a choice between the two airports for this journey.

Avignon airport lies 68 km from Nîmes airport, but its runway constraints mean that it can only handle private and business flights.
Na túto tému pozri rozhodnutie Komisie zo 14. júla 2004 vo veci C-25/2004, Nemecko – DVB-T v Berlíne-Brandenbursku, bod 20.
It is not therefore in competition with Nîmes airport for scheduled flights.
Rozsudok vo veci Stardust Marine, bod 52.
As regards Marseille airport, this is 115 km away, which is 1 hour and 15 minutes’ journey by road.
Smernica Komisie 2000/52/ES z 26. júla 2000, ktorou sa mení a dopĺňa smernica 80/723/EHS o transparentnosti finančných vzťahov medzi členskými štátmi a verejnými podnikmi (Ú. v. ES L 193, 29.7.2000, s. 75).
It is therefore too far away to suffer too much impact from the aid in question.
Pozri rozhodnutie Komisie z 22. júna 2006 vo veci N 536/2005 – Francúzsko – Pomoc spoločnosti Ryanair na leteckú linku medzi Toulonom a Londýnom, bod 16.
As indicated previously, Montpellier airport is situated just 63 km from Nîmes airport, which represents a journey time of only 49 minutes by road.
Pripomienky prevádzkovateľov k rozhodnutiu o začatí konania, s. 5.
In so far as the Commission considers that a distance of less than 100 km and a journey time of less than one hour are criteria allowing the catchment area of an airport to be defined as a first approximation, Montpellier airport is a priori situated within the catchment area of Nîmes airport.
Komisia pre úplnosť zdôrazňuje, že na účely uplatnenia pravidiel štátnej pomoci nie je potrebné rozlišovať medzi CCI a konkrétnym útvarom CCI, ktorý je určený na správu letiska, keďže útvar, ktorý spravuje letisko v Nîmes, nemá inú právnu subjektivitu ako CCI a je iba odnožou vnútorných útvarov CCI, pričom jeho samostatné rozhodnutia sa týkajú len každodennej správy letiska.
Moreover, certain routes operated from Montpellier have the same destination as certain routes from Nîmes airport.
To znamená, že aj dohodu z 11. apríla 2000, zmluvy o letiskových službách a zmluvy o marketingových službách z 10. októbra 2005, ako aj zmenu z 30. januára 2006 podpísal predseda CCI.
In this respect, France considers that the catchment area of an airport is defined using two criteria, namely: (i) length of the journey; and (ii) cost of the journey for airports dominated by low-cost traffic, such as Nîmes airport.
Francúzsko však uviedlo: „Môžeme konštatovať, že zmluvy a dodatky so spoločnosťou Ryanair patria do právomocí riadenia priemyselných a obchodných služieb zverených predsedovi […]“ (odpoveď na žiadosť o informácie z 20. marca 2014).
As a result, France considers that a regional airport’s catchment area is limited to those airports that can be reached by car within a maximum of 60 minutes.
Okrem toho Francúzsko ani tretie strany netvrdili, že opatrenia, ktoré sú predmetom formálneho vyšetrovacieho konania, musia byť pripísateľné výlučne tomuto útvaru.
According to France, ‘Lastly, as regards Montpellier airport, although the above information tends to place it in the same catchment area as Nîmes airport due to the journey time of less than 60 minutes and the cost of the return journey not exceeding EUR 20, it should, however, be stressed that the Ryanair routes from Montpellier airport, which currently number four, meet a tourist demand that is situated more to the west than to the east of the airport (the route to Hahn is an example of this, even though Ryanair has withdrawn its routes to Germany from Marseille) and that Nîmes airport covers a different catchment area from part of Montpellier airport’s catchment area (in particular the Cévennes, Uzège and the northeast of Gard/south of the Ardèche in the Rhône valley).
Článok 1 CDSP.
It therefore has a particular catchment area.
Pripomienky Francúzska k rozhodnutiu o začatí konania z 27. júla 2012, s. 27 – 28.
It should also be noted that 51 % of low-cost passengers travel less than 50 km from their airport’.
Pripomienky prevádzkovateľov k rozhodnutiu o začatí konania z 24. septembra 2012, body 39 – 40.
These factors are indeed likely to mitigate the impact on Montpellier airport of the operating aid received by Nîmes airport.
Príloha 6.2 k listu Francúzska z 27. júla 2012.
Added to this is the fact that, throughout the period in question, Montpellier airport handled much more traffic than Nîmes airport.
Príloha 8 k CDSP, s. 15, ktorej názov („sústavná snaha o zvyšovanie návštevnosti“) treba zdôrazniť v rámci tohto posúdenia.
In fact, its traffic fluctuated between 1,2 million and 1,6 million passengers per year.
List Francúzska z 19. februára 2014 (hlavná časť textu a prílohy 2014-1-3, 2014-1-4a a 2014-1-4b).
The aid received by Nîmes airport, which is around six times smaller, could have had, at most, only a limited impact on Montpellier airport.
Príloha 2014-1-1 k listu Francúzska z 19. februára 2013, s. 9.
Lastly, the journey time between the two airports, which is less than one hour but almost 50 minutes, is also a factor likely to mitigate the impact of the aid in question on Montpellier airport.
Príloha 2014-1-1 k listu Francúzska z 19. februára 2014, s. 15.
As a result, the operating aid in question had a limited impact on the airports neighbouring Nîmes airport.
Príloha 2014-1-4b k listu Francúzska z 19. februára 2014, s. 13.
Taking into account all these positive and negative effects of the aid in question, the Commission takes the view that this aid did not affect trade to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Príloha 2014-1-4b k listu Francúzska z 19. februára 2014, s. 16.
In the light of the information set out above regarding the impact of the aid in question on competition and trade, and given the important contribution of this aid to the economic development of the area in which Nîmes airport is located, particularly due to its beneficial impact on local tourism and the industrial hub present at the airport site, the Commission considers that the aid in question did not affect competition and trade to an extent contrary to the common interest.
List Francúzska z 19. februára 2014.
Conclusion on the compatibility of the aid granted to the CCI-Airport and VTAN
Pozri najmä rozsudok vo veci C-342/96, Španielsko/Komisia, EU:C:1999:210, bod 41.
In the light of the above, the exceptional operating subsidies, repayable advances, flat-rate contribution, as established by the initial version of the CDSP and increased by Amendments Nos 1 and 3, and specific public contribution constitute aid compatible with the internal market within the meaning of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Rozsudok vo veci T-196/04, Ryanair Ltd/Komisia, EU:T:2008:585, bod 88 a body 57 – 60.
This conclusion is based on the specific criteria set out in the new Guidelines for assessing the compatibility of operating aid granted to airports before 4 April 2014.
Uvedená marketingová zmluva je prvou zmluvou o marketingových službách uzavretou so spoločnosťami Ryanair a AMS spomedzi zmlúv, ktoré sú predmetom tohto skúmania.
It is without prejudice to any assessment of any future aid to Nîmes airport that the Commission may be required to make in the future based on the rules laid down by the new Guidelines for aid granted after 4 April 2014.
Treba poznamenať, že dodatok z 18. augusta 2010 sa môže iba ťažko spájať s nejakou implicitnou alebo explicitnou zmluvou o letiskových službách.
RECOVERY
Bude predmetom osobitnej analýzy.
The Commission has found that Ryanair/AMS benefited from unlawful aid that was incompatible with the internal market.
