On 25 June 1999 the Commission sent a statement of objections to KLM setting out its preliminary view that the notification of 1 September 1998 contained incorrect or misleading information (save as otherwise specified, references in this Decision to ‘the notification’ are to the notification of 1 September 1998).
junija 1999 je Komisija poslala KLM izjavo o ugovorih, s katero je opredelila svoje predhodno mnenje, da je priglasitev z dne 1. septembra vsebovala netočne ali zavajajoče podatke (razen če je drugače posebej navedeno, se v tej odločbi sklicevanje na „priglasitev“ nanaša na priglasitev z dne 1. septembra 1998).
The statement of objections was drafted in English.
Osnutek izjave o ugovorih je bil pripravljen v angleškem jeziku.
In its response KLM objects to the use of the English language and requests that the proceedings be conducted in Dutch.
V odgovoru KLM ugovarja uporabi angleškega jezika in zahteva, da postopek poteka v nizozemskem jeziku.
KLM refers to Article 3 of Council Regulation No 1 determining the languages to be used by the European Economic Community [6], which provides that documents which an EU institution sends to a person subject to the jurisdiction of a Member State must be drafted in the language of that State.
KLM se sklicuje na člen 3 Uredbe Sveta št. 1, ki določa jezike v rabi v Evropski gospodarski skupnosti [6], ki določa, da morajo biti dokumenti, ki jih ustanova EU pošlje osebi, ki je predmet zakonodaje države članice, pripravljeni v jeziku te države.
KLM argues that its choice of English as a language related only to the notification (which was made in English) and that it did not forfeit its right to receive the statement of objections of 25 June 1999 in its own language.
KLM navaja, da se je izbira angleškega jezika nanašala samo na priglasitev (ki je bila pripravljena v angleškem jeziku) in da ni izgubil svoje pravice, da prejme izjavo o ugovorih z dne 25. junija 1999 v nizozemskem jeziku.
KLM explains that it opted to submit the notification in English in order to accommodate the Commission, given the tight and strict deadlines that apply in the merger control procedure.
KLM pojasnjuje, da se je odločil za uporabo angleškega jezika v priglasitvi, da bi olajšal delo Komisiji, saj so v postopku nadzora združevanja tesni in strogi roki.
It states that such deadlines do not apply to the present proceedings.
KLM navaja, da taki roki ne veljajo v trenutnem postopku.
Article 2 of Regulation No 1 provides that documents sent to institutions of the Community may be drafted in any one of the official languages selected by the sender.
Člen 2 Uredbe št. 1 določa, da so lahko dokumenti, poslani ustanovam Skupnosti, pripravljeni v katerem koli uradnem jeziku, ki ga izbere pošiljatelj.
The reply of the institution must then be drafted in that language selected by the sender.
Odgovor ustanove pa mora biti pripravljen v jeziku, ki ga izbere pošiljatelj.
Article 2(4) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 447/98 of 1 March 1998 on the notifications, time limits and hearings provided for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 on the control of concentrations between undertakings [7] gives expression to this general rule.
Člen 2(4) Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 447/98 z dne 1. marca 1998 o priglasitvah, rokih in zaslišanjih, predpisanih z Uredbo Sveta (EGS) št. 4064/89 o nadzoru koncentracij podjetij [7], izraža to splošno pravilo.
It provides that the language chosen by the parties for the notification becomes the ‘language of the proceeding’.
Določa, da jezik, ki ga stranke izberejo za priglasitev, postane „jezik postopka“.
KLM argues that it selected English for the procedure following the notification only and not for the present proceedings.
KLM pravi, da je izbral angleški jezik le za postopek pri priglasitvi in ne za trenutne postopke.
The Commission interprets this provision as referring to all proceedings under the Merger Regulation which relate to the notified operation and not just those proceedings leading to substantive decisions on the concentration itself, such as a decision under Article 6 or Article 8.
Komisija to določbo tolmači, kot da se nanaša na vse postopke v okviru Uredbe o združitvah v zvezi s priglašenim postopkom, ne samo na postopke, ki vodijo do vsebinske odločbe o sami koncentraciji, kot je odločba po členu 6 ali členu 8.
In relation to a notification under Article 4 of the Merger Regulation a number of proceedings are possible, such as the proceedings leading to decisions under Article 11(5) and Article 13(2), proceedings under Article 14(1)(b), (c) or (d) and Article 14(2)(a), (b), or (c), proceedings leading to decisions to revoke a decision under Article 6(3) or Article 8(5) or proceedings on issues relating to access to files.
V zvezi s priglasitvijo iz člena 4 Uredbe o združitvah so mogoči številni postopki, na primer postopki, ki vodijo do odločb po členih 11(5) in 13(2), postopki iz člena 14(1)(b), (c) ali (d) in člena 14(2)(a), (b) ali (c), postopki, ki vodijo do odločb o razveljavitvi odločbe iz člena 6(3) ali člena 8(5), ali postopki v zvezi z dostopom do spisov.
All these proceedings relate to the notification, for which the parties had the choice of the language.
Vsi našteti postopki so povezani s priglasitvijo, za katero so stranke imele na voljo izbiro jezika.
In this case the notification was made in English and all communications with the parties were conducted in English.
V tem primeru je bila priglasitev v angleškem jeziku in vse sporočanje s strankami je prav tako potekalo v angleškem jeziku.
KLM's request would have as a result that the representations made by KLM to the Commission in English would have to be discussed in Dutch.
Zahteva KLM bi pomenila, da bi bilo treba o prikazih dejstev, ki jih KLM Komisiji pošlje v angleškem jeziku, razpravljati v nizozemskem jeziku.
The procedure under Article 14(1)(b) is inseparably linked to the notification.
Postopek iz člena 14(1)(b) je neločljivo povezan s priglasitvijo.
For these reasons the Commission considers that English is the correct language for the present proceeding.
Iz teh razlogov Komisija meni, da je angleški jezik pravilni jezik za trenutni postopek.
INFRINGEMENT OF THE MERGER REGULATION: RELEVANT FACTS
KRŠITEV UREDBE O ZDRUŽITVAH: POMEMBNA DEJSTVA
According to the notification the activities of the KLM group and Martinair overlap in three areas: charter flights to the Mediterranean, scheduled flights to North America and the transport of cargo.
V skladu s priglasitvijo se dejavnosti skupine KLM in Martinaira prekrivajo na treh področjih: čarterskih poletih v Sredozemlje, rednih poletih v Severno Ameriko in prevozu tovora.
The incorrect or misleading information concerns the activities of the KLM subsidiary Transavia in passenger transport to Mediterranean destinations: KLM submitted incorrect information on the charter destinations of Transavia and withheld relevant information on scheduled flights of Transavia.
Netočni ali zavajajoči podatki se nanašajo na dejavnosti KLM-jeve hčerinske družbe Transavia na področju potniškega prometa v sredozemske kraje: KLM je predložil netočne podatke za namembne kraje čarterskih poletov Transavie in zadržal pomembne podatke o rednih poletih Transavie.
Information on Transavia charter destinations
Podatki o čarterskih namembnih krajih Transavie
the information given in the notification
Podatki, navedeni v priglasitvi
The notification contains on page 40 of Form CO a table with a listing of Transavia's and Martinair's charter destinations to the Mediterranean for the summer season 1998.
Priglasitev vsebuje na strani 40 obrazca CO tabelo s seznamom čarterskih poletov Transavie in Martinaira v Sredozemlje za poletno sezono leta 1998.
The table is in the form of a synopsis comparing the destinations for each country.
Tabela je v obliki povzetka in primerja namembne kraje letov za vsako državo.
The term ‘Mediterranean countries’ is defined earlier in the notification [8] as comprising Cyprus, Egypt, France, Israel, Malta, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Tunisia, and Morocco.
Izraz „sredozemske države“ je predhodno opredeljen v priglasitvi [8] in obsega Ciper, Egipt, Francijo, Izrael, Malto, Španijo, Italijo, Portugalsko, Grčijo, Turčijo, Tunizijo in Maroko.
There are 12 destinations listed for Martinair and 46 destinations listed for Transavia.
Za Martinair je navedenih 12 namembnih krajev, za Transavio pa 46.
According to the table there is an overlap for only six destinations (Ibiza, Corfu, Kos, Antalya, Dalaman and Monastir).
V skladu s tabelo se prekriva le 6 krajev (Ibiza, Krf, Kos, Antalija, Dalaman in Monastir).
The table is preceded on page 39 by the statement that Transavia's and Martinair's operations are largely complementary:
Pred tabelo je na strani 39 izjava, da se delovanje Transavie in Martinaira precej dopolnjuje:
‘Transavia's and Martinair's charter services are to a large extend complementary.
„čarterske storitve Transavie in Martinaira se v veliki meri dopolnjujejo.
Martinair operates large aeroplanes (B747, MD-11, B767) on just a few Mediterranean destinations.
Martinair uporablja velika letala (B747, MD-11, B767) le za nekatere sredozemske namembne kraje.
Transavia operates smaller aeroplanes (B757) on various (other) destinations, most of which — due to their size — can not be served by Martinair's planes.’
Transavia uporablja manjša letala (B757) za številne (druge) namembne kraje, za katere – zaradi velikosti – ne pridejo v poštev letala Martinaira.“
The table on page 40 of the notification is as follows:
Tabela na strani 40 priglasitve je takšna:

incorrectness of the information on Transavia charter destinations
Netočnost podatkov o čarterskih namembnih krajih Transavie
In the investigation it became apparent that at least 10 further so-called Mediterranean destinations, namely Alicante, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Faro, Funchal, Rhodes, Heraklion and Djerba were served by Transavia charter flights in 1998 and were not mentioned in the table.
Med preiskavo je postalo očitno, da so vsaj deset tako imenovanih sredozemskih namembnih krajev, Alicante, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Faro, Funchal, Rodos, Heraklion in Djerba, leta 1998 pokrivali čarterski leti Transavie in da jih tabela ne omenja.
That information was contained in a Transavia timetable submitted in response to a request for information [9].
Te podatke je vseboval vozni red Transavie, ki je bil predložen na zahtevo po podatkih [9].
With the exception of Alicante, Funchal, Rhodes and Djerba, these are all destinations which are also served by Martinair charter flights.
Z izjemo krajev Alicante, Funchal, Rodos in Djerba vse te namembne kraje prav tako pokrivajo čarterski leti Martinaira.
Therefore, all Martinair destinations are also served by Transavia, which means that in reality there is a complete overlap between Transavia and Martinair destinations.
Torej vse namembne kraje Martinaira prav tako pokrivajo leti Transavie, kar pomeni, da se v resnici namembni kraji Transavie in Martinaira popolnoma prekrivajo.
Moreover, the missing destinations include several of the most important ones for holiday customers and for Transavia and Martinair.
Še več, izpuščeni namembni kraji vključujejo nekaj najpomembnejših namembnih krajev za počitniške stranke ter za Transavio in Martinair.
For example, Spain is by a significant margin the most popular country of destination, and the missing destinations in Spain and its islands include some of the most important tourist airports there.
Na primer, Španija je daleč najbolj priljubljeni počitniški namembni kraj, izpuščeni kraji v Španiji in na njenih otokih vključujejo nekatere od najpomembnejših turističnih letališč.
Information on scheduled services of Transavia to Mediterranean destinations
Podatki o rednih storitvah Transavie za sredozemske namembne kraje
information given in the notification
Podatki, navedeni v priglasitvi
Nowhere in the notification did KLM state that Transavia has substantial scheduled operations to Mediterranean holiday destinations and that it sells seats on these flights to package tour operators.
KLM nikjer v priglasitvi ne navaja, da Transavia opravlja precejšen delež storitev v zvezi s sredozemskimi namembnimi kraji, in da karte za te lete v paketih prodaja organizatorjem potovanj.
Section 6 of the notification is entitled ‘Market definitions’.
Oddelek 6 priglasitve se imenuje „Opredelitve trga“.
Under the heading ‘I.
Pod naslovom „I.
Affected Markets’ question 6.1 of Form CO is repeated. Then KLM states under the heading ‘A.
Prizadeti trgi“ je ponovljeno vprašanje 6.1 iz obrazca CO. KLM pod naslovom „A.
European (inclusive) charter market’ [10] that there is no affected market due to the small market share ([…] (*) %) [11] of the parties [12]. Although KLM consequently claims that the market for charter flights is not an affected market it nevertheless states that it describes the market as if it were an affected market: ‘However, in order to provide the Commission with relevant information they will describe this market as if it were an affected market.’
Evropski (vključno) trg čarterskih povezav“ navaja [10], da zaradi majhnega tržnega deleža ([…] [11] %) strank ni prizadetih trgov [12].
The description is then given on pages 26 to 41 of the notification without any further headings.
Opis je podan na straneh od 26 in 41 priglasitve brez nadaljnjih naslovov.
The product market is defined as follows:
Trg izdelkov je opredeljen na naslednji način:
The notification refers to this market as the ‘charter market’ which can be distinguished from markets concerning scheduled air transport.
V priglasitvi je ta trg omenjen kot „trg čarterskih prevozov“, ki je ločen od trgov v zvezi z rednim letalskim prevozom.
The differences between charter flights and scheduled flights are set out as follows:
Razlike med čarterskimi poleti in rednimi poleti so naslednje:
‘This charter market is a market that can be distinguished from markets concerning scheduled air transport to these destinations.
„Ta trg čarterskih prevozov se ločuje od trgov v zvezi z rednimi poleti do teh namembnih krajev.
First of all, the airlines' customers in the charter market are not the passengers like in scheduled flights.
Stranke letalskih prevoznikov na čarterskem trgu niso potniki kot pri rednih poletih.
In this market tour operators are the airlines' customers.
Na tem trgu so stranke letalskih prevoznikov organizatorji potovanj.
Tour operators request the airlines to fly to a certain holiday destination with a certain frequency and capacity. They buy a (minimum) amount of seats on the chartered planes, which is called an allotment.
Organizatorji potovanj od letalskih prevoznikov zahtevajo namembne kraje, pogostost in zmogljivost letov v te namembne kraje.
These seats are sold as part of an inclusive tour to passengers by tour operators and their agents for their own account.
Kupijo (najmanjše) število kart za čarterske polete, to se imenuje zakup.
This makes this service substantially different from scheduled flights.’
Te karte potnikom prodajo organizatorji potovanj in njihovi zastopniki kot del potovanja.
There is no statement in this chapter that Transavia operates scheduled flights to Mediterranean destinations and sells seats on those flights to tour operators which are guaranteed by the tour operator and integrated into package tours.
V tem poglavju ni navedeno, da Transavia opravlja čarterske polete do sredozemskih namembnih krajev in karte za te lete prodaja organizatorjem potovanj, ki te karte vključijo v paketne ponudbe.
Neither the map with Transavia destinations nor the timetable referred to in paragraph 10 were contained in the notified documents.
Priglašeni dokumenti niso vsebovali zemljevida z namembnimi kraji Transavie in voznega reda, omenjenega v odstavku 10.
The only statement to the effect that Transavia is operating scheduled flights at all is made in the subsequent chapter on the description of the market for flights to North America: ‘B.
Dejstvo, da Transavia sploh opravlja čarterske lete, je omenjeno le v naslednjem poglavju v opisu trga za lete v Severno Ameriko: „B.
Western Europe (via Amsterdam) — United States /Canada markets’. In a footnote in relation to a statement that Martinair does not participate in the KLM frequent flyer scheme it is stated: ‘Transavia passengers participate in KLM's frequent flyer program only when travelling on Transavia's scheduled flights and when KLM does not operate on such destinations itself.’
Zahodna Evropa (prek Amsterdama) – trgi v Združenih državah/Kanadi“.
This information was not included as information on scheduled flights but as information on participation in the KLM frequent flyer scheme [18].
Ti podatki niso bili vključeni kot del podatkov o rednih poletih, ampak kot podatki o sodelovanju v shemi pogostih letalskih potnikov KLM [18].
Under the heading ‘II.
Pod naslovom „II.
Markets related to affected markets within the meaning of Section III.’ is printed the text of Question 6.2 of Form CO: Describe the relevant product and geographic markets concerned by the notified operation, which are closely related to the affected market(s) (in upstream, downstream and horizontal neighbouring markets), where any of the parties to the concentration are active and which are not themselves affected markets within the meaning of Section III.
Trgi, povezani s prizadetimi trgi v smislu oddelka III“ je natisnjeno besedilo vprašanja 6.2 iz obrazca CO: Opišite ustrezne proizvodne trge in geografske trge, ki jih zadeva priglašeno delovanje in so tesno povezani s prizadetimi trgi (na vertikalnih in horizontalnih sosednjih trgih), na katerih so dejavni kateri koli od udeležencev koncentracije in ki sami niso prizadeti trgi v smislu oddelka III.
In response to this KLM briefly explains that KLM and Martinair each have a non-controlling participation in a tour operator and that KLM has a share in a computer reservation system.
KLM na to odgovarja, da imata KLM in Martinair le manjšinsko udeležbo pri organizatorjih potovanj in da ima KLM delež v sistemu računalniških rezervacij.
The notification continues:
Priglasitev se nadaljuje tako:
‘In addition, Martinair has charter flight operations to other destinations (e.g. Caribbean).
„Poleg tega, opravlja Martinair čarterske polete v druge kraje (npr. Karibi).
KLM is only active in the European charter market through its subsidiary Transavia. KLM and Martinair have scheduled flights to various other destinations.’
KLM deluje na evropskem trgu čarterskih prevozov le prek hčerinske družbe Transavia.
There is no statement in this chapter that Transavia is operating scheduled flights to Mediterranean destinations. The only statement in this chapter concerning Transavia is: ‘KLM is only active in the European charter market through its subsidiary Transavia.’
V tem poglavju ni izjave, ki bi navajala, da Transavia opravlja redne lete v kraje v Sredozemlju.
misleading or incorrect character of the information provided on the scheduled services of Transavia
Zavajajoči ali netočni podatki o rednih letih Transavie
In the further investigation of the case it became apparent that Transavia had substantial scheduled operations to Mediterranean destinations and that it sold seats on those flights to tour operators which integrated those seats into package tours.
Pri nadaljnjih raziskavah primera se je pokazalo, da Transavia opravlja veliko letov v kraje v Sredozemlju in da prodaja sedeže na teh letih organizatorjem potovanj, ki nato te sedeže vključijo v paketne ponudbe.
In response to a request for information [21], KLM stated in a letter of 9 September 1998 that Transavia had scheduled operations to Malaga, Alicante, Barcelona, Casablanca, Djerba, Faro, Funchal, Heraklion, Lisbon, Las Palmas, Malta, Nice, Palma de Mallorca, Tenerife (altogether […] (*) one-way passengers in 1997).
Kot odgovor na zahtevo po podatkih [21], je KLM v pismu z dne 9. septembra 1998 navedel, da Transavia opravlja redne polete v naslednje kraje: Malaga, Alicante, Barcelona, Casablanca, Djerba, Faro, Funchal, Heraklion, Lizbona, Las Palmas, Malta, Nica, Palma de Mallorca, Tenerife (skupaj […] (*) potnikov, ki so potovali v eno smer v letu 1997).
This situation has not changed substantially since then; Transavia continued to have substantial scheduled operations to Mediterranean destinations.
Položaj se od takrat ni znatno spremenil; Transavia je nadaljevala z izvajanjem rednih letov v kraje v Sredozemlju.
Most of those destinations are also served by Transavia charter flights.
Za večino teh namembnih krajev Transavia opravlja tudi čarterske lete.
In KLM's letter there is no statement that seats on those scheduled flights are sold to tour operators.
V KLM-jevem pismu ni izjave, ki bi navajala, da se karte na rednih letih prodajajo organizatorjem potovanj.
In the notification of December 1998 KLM stated: ‘Reality, however, is seldom black and white, the border line between scheduled and charter services is situated in a grey area. Guaranteed seats sold on scheduled flights to tour operators on routes to popular holiday destinations in the Mediterranean, come close to similar services on charter flights.’
V priglasitvi iz decembra 1998 je KLM navedel: „Realnost je le redko črno-bela, meja med rednimi in čarterskimi storitvami je nekje v sivem območju.
From the information submitted it can be calculated that out of […] (*) [26] passengers transported by Transavia [27] on scheduled flights to Mediterranean destinations [28] in the season summer 1997 and in winter 1997/1998 altogether […] (*) [29] seats were sold to tour operators on a guaranteed basis and […] (*) seats were sold to tour operators on a non guaranteed basis [30].
Iz podatkov je mogoče izračunati, da je od […] (*) [26] potnikov, ki jih je na rednih letih prepeljala Transavia [27] v kraje v Sredozemlju [28] poleti leta 1997 in pozimi 1997/1998, kar skupaj znese […] (*) [29] sedežev, ki so bili prodani organizatorjem potovanj na zagotovljeni podlagi, in […]* sedežev, ki so bili prodani organizatorjem potovanj na nezagotovljeni podlagi [30].
For certain destinations the majority of seats for all passengers transported [31] is sold to tour operators.
Za nekatere kraje je večina sedežev za vse potnike [31] prodana organizatorjem potovanj.
RESPONSE TO THE STATEMENT AND THE COMMISSION's EVALUATION THEREOF
ODGOVOR NA IZJAVO IN OCENA KOMISIJE
Information on Transavia Charter Destinations
Podatki o čarterskih letih Transavie
In responding to the Commission's statement of objections, KLM describes the omission of the destinations referred to in paragraph 10 as an ‘administrative error’.
KLM v odgovor na ugotovitev o možnih kršitvah Komisiji pojasnjuje, da so namembni kraji, navedeni v odstavku 10, zgolj „administrativna napaka“.
KLM explains that in providing the information it based itself on the in-flight magazine published by Transavia.
KLM utemeljuje, da podatki temeljijo na reviji, ki jo izdaja Transavia.
The in-flight magazine contains a map with Transavia destinations.
V reviji letalskega prevoznika je vključen tudi zemljevid z namembnimi kraji, kamor leti Transavia.
Scheduled destinations are marked with a yellow dot and charter destinations are marked with a red dot.
Redni poleti so označeni z rumenimi pikami, čarterski pa z rdečimi.
The destinations which are reached both by charter and by scheduled flights are however also marked with a yellow dot.
Vendar so kraji, kamor letijo tako redni kot tudi čarterski poleti hkrati, označeni z rumeno piko.
These are Alicante, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Faro, Funchal, Rhodes, Heraklion and Djerba.
To so Alicante, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Faro, Funchal, Rodos, Heraklion in Djerba.
KLM states that the incorrect designation of those destinations in the in-flight magazine is the reason why they were not mentioned as charter destinations.
KLM navaja, da je nepravilno označevanje teh krajev v reviji letalskega prevoznika razlog, da niso bili omenjeni kot čarterski leti.
