Initial assessment by the Commission
Začetna ocena Komisije
Existence of aid
Obstoj državne pomoči
Capital injection
Kapitalski vložki
In relation to the construction costs of the new southern runway the Commission expressed the opinion that Leipzig Airport should earn enough revenue from the investments in the new southern runway as to cover (at least) its incremental costs, an appropriate contribution to the fixed costs of the existing facilities.
V zvezi s stroški gradnje nove južne vzletno-pristajalne steze je Komisija sprva izrazila mnenje, da bi letališče Leipzig iz naložb v novo južno pristajalno stezo pridobilo dovolj prihodkov, da bi lahko pokrilo (vsaj) dodatne stroške in ustrezen prispevek k stalnim stroškom obstoječih infrastrukturnih zmogljivosti.
However, on the basis of the business plan submitted by the German authorities, the Commission came to the preliminary conclusion that the expected increase in revenue from the operation of the new southern runway will not cover its incremental costs and that therefore the investment therein constituted State aid.
Vendar je na podlagi poslovnega načrta, ki so ga predložili nemški organi, Komisija sprejela predhodno ugotovitev, da pričakovano povečanje prihodkov iz delovanja nove južne vzletno-pristajalne steze ne bo krilo dodatnih stroškov in zato naložba v to stezo pomeni državno pomoč.
The opening decision set out that DHL will benefit of State aid if Leipzig Airport has offered more favourable contract terms than a private undertaking would have done.
Uvodna odločba določa, da bi bila družba DHL upravičena do državne pomoči, če bi letališče Leipzig ponudilo ugodnejše pogodbene pogoje, kot bi jih ponudile zasebne družbe.
A private airport operator would expect to earn sufficient revenues from the investments in the new southern runway to cover (at least) its incremental costs, and to make an appropriate contribution to the fixed costs of the existing facilities, as well as offering appropriate remuneration for the capital employed while reflecting the risks assumed under the Framework agreement.
Zasebni upravljavec letališča bi pričakoval zadosten prihodek iz naložb v novo južno vzletno-pristajalno stezo, da bi lahko pokril (vsaj) dodatne stroške ter ustrezno prispeval k stalnim stroškom obstoječih infrastrukturnih zmogljivosti ter ponudil ustrezno nadomestilo za vloženi kapital ob upoštevanju tveganj, ki jih prevzame na podlagi okvirnega sporazuma.
The opening decision asserted that the expected increase in revenues from the operation of the new southern runway would not even cover its incremental construction costs and lead in 2006 to a loss of about EUR […] (see paragraph 70 of the opening decision).
Uvodna odločba ugotavlja, da pričakovano povišanje prihodkov zaradi delovanja nove južne vzletno-pristajalne steze ne bi pokrilo niti dodatnih stroškov ter bi v letu 2006 povzročilo izgubo denarnega toka v znesku približno […] EUR (glej odstavek 70 uvodne odločbe).
Consequently, Leipzig Airport would not be able to finance the risks assumed under the Framework agreement out of its own revenues.
Zaradi tega letališče Leipzig tveganj, ki jih prevzame na podlagi okvirnega sporazuma, ne bi več moglo financirati iz lastnih prihodkov.
In conclusion, the opening decision raised serious doubts whether a private undertaking would have
Uvodna odločba je zato sprožila resne dvome, ali bi se zasebno podjetje
Agreed on airport fees and lease contracts which do not even finance the incremental costs of the southern runway;

Comfort letter
Patronatska izjava
Concerning the comfort letter, the Commission's opening decision stated that the conditions in the Commission Notice on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to State aid in the form of guarantees [6] (hereinafter Guarantee Notice), which sets out the circumstances under which a guarantee does not constitute State aid, have not been met.
V zvezi s patronatsko izjavo uvodna odločba Komisije ugotavlja, da pogoji iz Obvestila Komisije o uporabi členov 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES za državno pomoč v obliki poroštev [6] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: obvestilo o poroštvih), ki določa okoliščine, v katerih poroštvo ne predstavlja državne pomoči, niso izpolnjeni.
It is required inter alia that the guarantee would in principle be available at market conditions from the financial markets without any intervention by the State, and that the guarantee is remunerated at market value.
Med drugim se zahteva, da bi bilo poroštvo načeloma na finančnih trgih na voljo po tržnih pogojih brez kakršnih koli posegov države ter da se za poroštvo plača tržna premija.
The new Guarantee Notice [7], which entered into force on 20 June 2008, follows the same principle and repeats this requirement.
Novo obvestilo o poroštvu [7], ki je začelo veljati 20. junija 2008 upošteva isto načelo in ponavlja to zahtevo.
In the present case neither condition is met: Germany submitted that Leipzig Airport sought, but was unable to, cover the risks eventually addressed by the comfort letter through private financial institutions [8].
V tem primeru ni izpolnjen noben pogoj: po navedbah Nemčije si je letališče Leipzig neuspešno prizadevalo, da bi prek zasebnih finančnih institucij krilo tveganja, ki so bila nazadnje prevzeta s patronatsko izjavo.
And neither DHL nor the airport is under an obligation to pay a premium, at market value or otherwise, for the risk assumed by the Land Sachsen.
Poleg tega niti družbi DHL niti letališču ni treba plačati tržne ali druge premije za tveganje, ki ga je prevzela dežela Saška.
Compatibility of aid
Združljivost pomoči s skupnim trgom
Compatibility of capital injection
Združljivost kapitalskih vložkov s skupnim trgom
In relation to the investment by the Land Sachsen in the construction of the new runway through capital contributions to Leipzig Airport, the Commission initially concluded that these constituted State aid.
V zvezi z naložbo dežele Saške v gradnjo nove vzletno-pristajalne steze s kapitalskimi vložki, namenjenimi letališču Leipzig, je Komisija prvotno ugotovila, da ta sredstva predstavljajo državno pomoč.
The compatibility of such aid has to be assessed under Article 87(3) of the EC Treaty and the practice of the Commission as consolidated by the ‘Community guidelines on financing of airports and start-up aid to airlines departing from regional airports’ [9] (hereinafter ‘the 2005 Guidelines’)
Združljivost tovrstne pomoči je treba oceniti na podlagi člena 87(3) Pogodbe ES in prakse Komisije, kot je določena v „Smernicah Skupnosti o financiranju letališč in zagonski državni pomoči letalskim družbam z odhodi z regionalnih letališč“ [9] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Smernice iz leta 2005).
Compatibility of aid to DHL
Združljivost pomoči družbi DHL s skupnim trgom
The Commission noted that DHL's investment into its new European hub at Leipzig Airport has been the subject of a previous state aid decision (N 608/03).
Komisija je opozorila, da je bila v preteklosti že izdana odločba o državni pomoči za naložbo družbe DHL v njeno novo evropsko vozlišče na letališču Leipzig (N 608/03).
As the Commission had already authorised the maximum regional aid intensity of 28 per cent for the DHL investments, any further aid — which DHL could be granted under the comfort letter or the Framework agreement — can not be considered compatible with the common market.
Ker je Komisija že odobrila najvišjo intenzivnost regionalne pomoči v višini 28 % za naložbe družbe DHL, se vsaka druga pomoč – ki se lahko odobri družbi DHL na podlagi patronatske izjave ali okvirnega sporazuma – ne more obravnavati kot združljiva s skupnim trgom.
Aid to the airport in connection with the infrastructure developments
Pomoč za letališče v zvezi z infrastrukturnim razvojem
Background facts regarding the development of Leipzig Airport
Ozadje razvoja letališča Leipzig
The German authorities stated that Leipzig Airport was originally built as a military base with one (Northern) runway.
Nemški organi so pojasnili, da je bilo letališče Leipzig prvotno zgrajeno kot vojaško oporišče z eno vzletno-pristajalno stezo na mestu današnje severne steze.
In 1960 a second (Southern) runway was added with the two runways forming a V-alignment. The alignment of this Southern runway was decided on the basis of the military airspace structure of the GDR.
Leta 1960 je bila dodana druga (južna) vzletno-pristajalna steza, ki je s severno stezo tvorila obliko črke V. Sistem v obliki črke V je bil določen na podlagi strukture vojaškega zračnega prostora NDR.
This design however did not take account of environmental or meteorological considerations: it did not provide favourable conditions for take-off and landing and the flight paths were directly above densely populated areas in North Leipzig and South Halle.
Vendar ta zasnova ni upoštevala okoljskih ali vremenskih vprašanj: ni zagotavljala ugodnih pogojev za vzletanje in pristajanje, poleg tega so bile zračne poti speljane neposredno nad gosto poseljenimi območji severnega Leipziga in južnega Halleja.
By 1980 defects began to appear in the Southern runway which had a detrimental effect on the airport.
Okoli leta 1980 so se začele pojavljati prve poškodbe na južni vzletno-pristajalni stezi, ki so ovirale delovanje letališča.
Remedial action was taken by laying a new concrete surface on top of the runway.
Za odpravo teh pomanjkljivosti so na stezo nanesli dodatno plast betona.
By the early 1990s it became apparent that these renovation measures were inadequate — cracks in the new upper surface caused extensive spalling and major longitudinal distortions at both ends of the runway.
V začetku devetdesetih let je postalo jasno, da ta sanacija ni zadoščala – razpoke v novi vrhnji plasti so povzročile precejšnje krušenje robnikov in večje vzdolžne deformacije na obeh koncih vzletno-pristajalne steze.
The resulting buckling of the runway posed a serious safety risk and required high levels of maintenance.
Posledično upogibanje vzletno-pristajalne steze je pomenilo veliko varnostno tveganje in je zahtevalo nesorazmerno visoko stopnjo vzdrževanja.
After German reunification a master plan was put in place for the development of Leipzig Airport as a civil airport which envisaged the future construction of a two-runway system as a basis for action.
Po združitvi Nemčije je bil pripravljen glavni načrt za razvoj letališča Leipzig kot civilnega letališča, katerega osnova naj bi bila izgradnja sistema dveh vzletno-pristajalnih stez.
In 1994, an Advisory Committee, on which the Federal Ministry of Transport, Land Sachsen and Land Sachsen-Anhalt were represented, was created to oversee the development of the airport's infrastructure.
Leta 1994 je bil oblikovan svetovalni odbor, v katerem so bili zastopani zvezno ministrstvo za promet, dežela Saška in dežela Saška-Anhalt, da bi nadzoroval gradnjo letališke infrastrukture.
The committee was focused on whether the existing southern runway should be repaired before the construction of a new northern runway.
Odbor se je v glavnem ukvarjal z vprašanjem, ali naj se obstoječa južna vzletno-pristajalna steza obnovi pred gradnjo nove severne vzletno-pristajalne steze.
The decision to develop a system of two parallel runways was made in 1997.
Odločitev za razvoj sistema dveh vzporednih vzletno-pristajalnih stez je bila sprejeta leta 1997.
The first step in the development of this system was the re-construction of the northern runway which started immediately.
Prvi korak v razvoju tega sistema je bila obnova severne vzletno-pristajalne steze, ki se je začela takoj.
At this stage steps were taken to enable the airport to support two runways; for example: the taxiway was aligned and the northern runway was levelled.
Na tej stopnji so bili sprejeti ukrepi, ki letališču omogočajo obratovanje z dvema vzletno-pristajalnima stezama, na primer prilagoditev voznih stez in izravnava severne vzletno-pristajalne steze.
Detailed plans for the rebuilding of the southern runway were drawn up in 2002 as the last step in the airport's long-term expansion programme.
Natančni načrti za obnovo južne vzletno-pristajalne steze so bili pripravljeni leta 2002 kot zadnji korak v dolgoročnem programu širjenja letališča.
This was to involve the renovation and realignment (through 20 degrees) of the existing southern runway.
Ta naj bi vključeval obnovo in obrat (za 20 stopinj) obstoječe južne vzletno-pristajalne steze.
On that date preparatory construction measures were already underway, for example preliminary archaeological analyses of the ground, realignment work and the purchase of additional land.
V tem času so se že izvajali pripravljalni gradbeni ukrepi, na primer predhodne arheološke analize tal, premik tras in nakup dodatnih zemljišč.
The development of the airport also fits with Land Sachsen's Development Plan of December 2003, which identifies the optimisation of the runway system as express goals: both in terms of length and direction of the southern runway and in terms of adequate facilities for cargo handling.
Širitev letališča je tudi v skladu z razvojnim načrtom dežele Saške iz decembra 2003, ki optimizacijo sistema vzletno-pristajalnih stez navaja kot izrecen cilj, pri čemer poudarja predvsem prilagoditev dolžine in lege južne vzletno-pristajalne steze ter ustrezne zmogljivosti za pretovarjanje.
Germany submits that by the stage that these decisions were taken it had become increasingly clear that well known companies in the air freight sector regarded the civil airport of Leipzig/Halle as an attractive location and that the development of the southern runway would have been carried out even if DHL had not set up its European hub in Leipzig.
Nemčija navaja, da je do sprejetja teh odločitev postajalo vse bolj jasno, da so priznana podjetja v sektorju zračnega tovornega prometa civilno letališče Leipzig/Halle obravnavala kot privlačno lokacijo ter da bi se južna vzletno-pristajalna steza gradila tudi, če družba DHL svojega evropskega vozlišča ne bi preselila v Leipzig.
It also argues that the fact that it was not until 21 September 2005 that the framework agreement was concluded between DHL and Leipzig airport is further evidence that the decision to rebuild the southern runway was taken independently of DHL's intentions.
Prav tako naj bi bilo dejstvo, da je bil okvirni sporazum med družbo DHL in letališčem Leipzig sklenjen šele 21. septembra 2005, dodaten dokaz, da je bila odločitev za obnovo južne vzletno-pristajalne steze sprejeta neodvisno od načrtov družbe DHL.
Existence of Aid
Obstoj pomoči
Germany disputes the Commission's assertion that state aid rules apply both to the operation and to the construction of regional airport infrastructure.
Nemčija oporeka ugotovitvi Komisije, da pravila o državni pomoči veljajo za delovanje in gradnjo infrastrukture regionalnih letališč.
It maintains that investment in infrastructure is not an economic activity but a matter for regional and economic policy.
Meni, da vlaganje v infrastrukturo ni gospodarska dejavnost, ampak ukrep regionalne in gospodarske politike.
In this context, airports would not be ‘undertakings’ within the meaning of Article 87(1) EC.
V tem okviru naj letališča ne bi bila „podjetja“ v smislu člena 87(1) Pogodbe ES.
Germany argues that this is particularly important in relation to regional airports which would struggle to reach the necessary passenger volumes to become self-financing.
Nemčija trdi, da je to posebej pomembno za regionalna letališča, ki bi se morala boriti za pridobitev ustreznega števila potnikov, ki bi jim omogočalo donosno poslovanje.
Germany disputes the Commission's interpretation of the Aéroports de Paris judgment on three grounds.
Nemčija oporeka tudi razlagi Komisije o sodbi v zadevi Aéroports de Paris [10], in sicer iz treh razlogov.
Firstly, Germany argues that the reasoning of the Court is not such that Article 87 EC should be understood in the light of Article 82 EC.
Prvič, Nemčija trdi, da utemeljitev sodišča ni takšna, da bi bilo treba člen 87 Pogodbe ES razlagati v smislu člena 82 Pogodbe ES.
Secondly, Germany argues that the Aéroports de Paris judgment refers to the operation of an airport, not — as in Leipzig/Halle — to the construction of publicly accessible infrastructure.
Drugič, Nemčija trdi, da se sodba Aéroports de Paris nanaša na delovanje letališča in ne – kot v primeru letališča Leipzig/Halle – na gradnjo javno dostopne infrastrukture.
Finally, according to Germany, Aéroports de Paris dealt with an international hub whose economic situation fundamentally differs from that of a regional airport.
In tretjič, Nemčija meni, da je v primeru Aéroports de Paris šlo za veliko mednarodno letališče, katerega gospodarski položaj se bistveno razlikuje od položaja regionalnih letališč.
It is commonly known that private financing is not a viable alternative to public financing for the funding of regional airport infrastructure.
Splošno je znano, da v zvezi s financiranjem infrastrukture regionalnih letališč zasebno financiranje ni izvedljiva nadomestna možnost javnemu financiranju.
Germany submits that the construction of the southern runway ought to be judged against the applicable Community rules ‘Application of Article 92 and 93 of the EC Treaty and Article 61 of the EEA Agreement to State aids in the Aviation sector’ [10] (hereinafter ‘the 1994 Guidelines’) which stipulate that ‘The construction or enlargement of infrastructure projects (such as airports …) represents a general measure of economic policy which cannot be controlled by the Commission under the Treaty rules on State aids’ rather than the 2005 Guidelines, which subject airport operators to state aid rules.
Nemčija trdi, da bi bilo treba o gradnji južne vzletno-pristajalne steze presojati na podlagi veljavnih smernic Komisije o uporabi členov 92 in 93 Pogodbe ES in člena 61 Sporazuma EGP glede državne pomoči v letalskem sektorju [11] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Smernice iz leta 1994), ki določajo, da „Gradnja ali širitev infrastrukturnih projektov (kot so letališča …) predstavlja splošen ukrep gospodarske politike, ki ga Komisija ne more nadzorovati na podlagi pravil Pogodbe o državni pomoči.“, in ne na podlagi Smernic iz leta 2005, ki za upravljavce letališč določajo pravila o državni pomoči.
Germany argues that (a) the application of the latter set of Guidelines to this case violates the principle of non-retroactivity and (b) Paragraph 85 of the 2005 Guidelines confirms that they can only be applied from their date of publication in the Official Journal (9 December 2005).
Nemčija trdi, da uporaba slednjega sklopa smernic v tem primeru krši načelo neretroaktivnosti ter da odstavek 85 Smernic iz leta 2005 potrjuje, da jih je mogoče uporabiti šele od dne njihove objave v Uradnem listu (9. december 2005).
