As to the transport of patients for treatment abroad and the link to non-EU destinations based on bilateral agreement, Ryanair points to the legislation on public service obligations (PSO), in particular Regulation 1008/2008 according to which PSO must be imposed after an open tender and compensated on the basis of an analysis of the costs which a typical well run undertaking would have incurred in discharging those obligations.
Glede prevoza bolnikov na zdravljenje v tujino in povezave s ciljnimi lokacijami izven EU na podlagi dvostranskega sporazuma Ryanair opozarja na zakonodajo o obveznosti javnih storitev, zlasti Uredbo 1008/2008, v skladu s katero mora biti obveznost javnih storitev uvedena po odprtem javnem razpisu, nadomestilo pa mora biti določeno na podlagi analize stroškov, ki bi jih povprečno, dobro vodeno podjetje imelo pri izpolnjevanju teh obveznosti.
Ryanair warns of an ex-post application of supposed PSO in order to justify the RP and invites the Commission to investigate this issue, in particular in order to determine whether any such compensation has been determined.
Ryanair opozarja na naknadno uporabo domnevne obveznosti javnih storitev, da bi se upravičil načrt za prestrukturiranje, in poziva Komisijo, naj prouči to vprašanje, zlasti da ugotovi, ali je bilo določeno kakršno koli takšno nadomestilo.
COMMENTS FROM MALTA ON THE OBSERVATIONS OF INTERESTED PARTIES
PRIPOMBE MALTE O UGOTOVITVAH ZAINTERESIRANIH STRANI
Malta addressed in detail all of the arguments raised by third parties in their comments.
Malta je podrobno proučila vse trditve, ki so jih v svojih pripombah navedle tretje strani.
In particular, Malta rebutted the arguments regarding Air Malta's return to long-term viability asserting that the trend of escalating losses of the Airline has already been reversed.
Zlasti je ovrgla trditve v zvezi z obnovo dolgoročne rentabilnosti družbe Air Malta in trdila, da se je trend povečevanja izgub letalske družbe že obrnil.
Air Malta's commercial strategy is to be a "destination airline" with its activities centred around the local airport.
Komercialna strategija družbe Air Malta je biti „ciljna letalska družba“ z dejavnostmi, usmerjenimi na lokalno letališče.
The successful turnaround of the company will in addition be achieved through significant reduction of waste and losses accompanied by the change in work practices of the company.
Uspešen preobrat družbe bo poleg tega dosežen z znatnim zmanjšanjem stroškov in izgub, povezanih s spremembo delovnih praks družbe.
Regarding the argument of Air Malta's inability to profit from economies of scale, the Maltese authorities argue that the operating costs in the airline industry are variable in nature (amounting to [60 to 70] % in Air Malta's case).
V zvezi s trditvijo o nezmožnosti družbe Air Malta za izkoriščanje ekonomij obsega malteški organi trdijo, da so stroški poslovanja v letalskem sektorju spremenljive narave (v primeru družbe Air Malta znašajo [60 do 70] %).
These include fuel costs, aircraft rental and maintenance, landing, navigation and flight crew costs, all of which are driven by regulated market pricing which limits, to some extent, the economies of scale that an airline could benefit from.
Ti stroški vključujejo stroške goriva, stroške zakupa in vzdrževanja letal ter stroške pristajanja, navigacije in posadk letal, pri čemer vsi ti stroški temeljijo na oblikovanju cen na reguliranem trgu, ki do določene mere omejuje ekonomije obsega, od katerih bi letalska družba lahko imela koristi.
As to the valuation and sale of strategic property to the Government, Malta reasserts that the valuation was carried out by an external and independent evaluator […] with no conflict of interest and is based on a detailed report which follows international valuation standards as set out by the International Valuation Standards Council.
Glede ocene vrednosti in prodaje strateškega zemljišča vladi Malta potrjuje, da je oceno vrednosti opravil zunanji in neodvisni ocenjevalec […] brez navzkrižja interesov in da temelji na podrobnem poročilu, ki upošteva mednarodne standarde ocenjevanja vrednosti, kot jih je določil Odbor za mednarodne standarde ocenjevanja vrednosti.
The logic behind this transaction is evidenced by the new needs of the company (significantly reduced staff) and change of culture which require the workforce to be based in one modern office.
Logika, na kateri temelji ta transakcija, se odraža v novih potrebah družbe (znatno zmanjšanje števila zaposlenih) in spremembi kulture, ki zahteva, da so zaposleni v eni sodobni pisarni.
Therefore the Airline disposed of property that it no longer needed.
Zato je letalska družba prodala zemljišče, ki ga ni več potrebovala.
Given the scarcity of land resources in Malta, the Maltese authorities submit that the strategy to create an aviation park on this land predates Air Malta's restructuring by many years.
Glede na pomanjkanje zemeljskih virov na Malti malteški organi trdijo, da je bila strategija za razvoj letalskega parka na tem zemljišču pripravljena več let pred prestrukturiranjem družbe Air Malta.
As far as public services are concerned, the Maltese authorities confirmed that PSO under regulation No 1008/2008 on common rules for the operation of air services in the Community have neither been imposed in the past nor are planned for the future.
Kar zadeva javne storitve, so malteški organi potrdili, da obveznost javnih storitev na podlagi Uredbe št. 1008/2008 o skupnih pravilih za opravljanje zračnih prevozov v Skupnosti ni bila določena niti v preteklosti niti ni načrtovana za prihodnost.
Consequently, no compensation from the State has been or will be paid.
Posledično ni bilo oziroma ne bo izplačano nobeno nadomestilo s strani države.
Therefore, Air Malta has never been provided with any remuneration from public funds for any of the services which it provides to and from Malta, including the transport of medical passengers.
Zato Air Malta nikoli ni prejela nobenega plačila iz javnih sredstev za nobeno od storitev, ki jih zagotavlja pri letih na Malto in z Malte, vključno s prevozom potnikov na zdravljenje.
Existence of State Aid
Obstoj državne pomoči
By virtue of Article 107(1) of the TFEU, any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever, which distorts or threaten to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods, shall, in so far as it affects trade between the Member States, be incompatible with the internal market.
V skladu s členom 107(1) PDEU je vsaka pomoč, ki jo dodeli država članica, ali kakršna koli vrsta pomoči iz državnih sredstev, ki izkrivlja ali bi lahko izkrivljala konkurenco z dajanjem prednosti posameznim podjetjem ali proizvodnji posameznega blaga, nezdružljiva z notranjim trgom, če prizadene trgovino med državami članicami.
The concept of State aid applies to any advantage granted directly or indirectly, financed out of State resources, granted by the State itself or by any intermediary body acting by virtue of powers conferred on it.
Pojem državne pomoči se nanaša na vsako neposredno ali posredno dodeljeno prednost, ki se financira iz državnih sredstev in jo odobri država ali posrednik po naročilu države.
In this context, the decision of the Maltese authorities to inject new equity of EUR 130 million has to be seen as State aid.
V tem okviru je odločitev malteških organov, da vložijo nov kapital v vrednosti 130 milijonov EUR, treba obravnavati kot državno pomoč.
The capital injection involves State resources and constitutes a selective advantage to Air Malta, since it improves its financial situation.
Kapitalska injekcija vključuje državna sredstva in pomeni selektivno prednost za družbo Air Malta, saj izboljšuje njeno finančno stanje.
Under these conditions, the capital injection constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the TFEU.
Pod temi pogoji kapitalska injekcija pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
This conclusion is not disputed by the Maltese authorities.
Malteški organi ne izpodbijajo te ugotovitve.
Compatibility of the aid with the internal market under the R&R Guidelines
Združljivost pomoči z notranjim trgom na podlagi smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje
Article 107(3)(c) TFEU stipulates that State aid can be authorised where it is granted to promote the development of certain economic sectors and where this aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Člen 107(3)(c) PDEU določa, da se državna pomoč lahko odobri za spodbujanje razvoja nekaterih gospodarskih sektorjev, kadar takšna pomoč ne spreminja trgovinskih pogojev v obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju s skupnimi interesi.
The Commission considers the present measure to constitute a restructuring aid which must be assessed in the light of the criteria under the R&R Guidelines as well as the 1994 Aviation Guidelines [15], in order to establish whether it may be compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3) TFEU.
Komisija meni, da ta ukrep pomeni pomoč za prestrukturiranje, ki jo je treba oceniti glede na merila iz smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje ter Smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 1994 [15], da se ugotovi, ali je lahko združljiva z notranjim trgom v skladu s členom 107(3) PDEU.
The Commission acknowledges that the Maltese authorities have undertaken to respect the stand-still obligation (in accordance with point 34 of the R&R Guidelines) and have not granted any aid to Air Malta (apart from the Rescue aid as approved by the Commission on 15 November 2010).
Komisija potrjuje, da so se malteški organi zavezali, da bodo spoštovali obveznost mirovanja (v skladu s točko 34 smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje) in niso dodelili nobene pomoči družbi Air Malta (razen pomoči za reševanje, ki jo je Komisija odobrila 15. novembra 2010).
Regarding eligibility, point (33) of the R&R Guidelines states that the firm must qualify as a firm in difficulty within the meaning of these Guidelines (points 9-13).
Glede upravičenosti točka 33 smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje navaja, da mora podjetje izpolnjevati pogoje za podjetje v težavah v smislu teh smernic (točke 9–13).
According to point 9 of the R&R Guidelines the Commission regards a firm as being in difficulty when it is unable, whether through its own resources or with the funds it is able to obtain from its owners/shareholders or creditors, to stem losses which without outside intervention by the public authorities, will almost certainly condemn it to going out of business in the short or medium term.
V skladu s točko 9 smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje Komisija šteje, da je podjetje v težavah, ko ni zmožno z lastnimi sredstvi ali s sredstvi, ki jih lahko pridobi od svojih lastnikov/delničarjev ali upnikov, preprečiti izgube, ki bi brez zunanjega posredovanja državnih organov kratkoročno ali srednjeročno skoraj gotovo ogrozile obstoj podjetja.
Subsequently, Point 10(a) of the R&R Guidelines clarifies that a limited liability company is regarded as being in difficulty where more than half of its registered capital has disappeared and more than one quarter of that capital has been lost over the preceding 12 months.
Nadalje točka 10(a) smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje pojasnjuje, da se podjetje z omejeno odgovornostjo šteje za podjetje v težavah, kadar je bila več kot polovica njegovega vpisanega kapitala izgubljena in kadar je bila več kot četrtina tega kapitala izgubljena v zadnjih dvanajstih mesecih.
The Commission notes that Air Malta is a company with limited liability which has lost almost all of its registered capital and is unable to meet its current obligations.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je Air Malta podjetje z omejeno odgovornostjo, ki je izgubilo skoraj ves svoj vpisani kapital in ne more izpolnjevati svojih sedanjih obveznosti.
Air Malta was found to be a company in difficulty already in the decision by which the rescue aid to the company was approved [16].
Za družbo Air Malta je bilo že v sklepu, s katerim je bila družbi odobrena pomoč za reševanje, ugotovljeno, da je podjetje v težavah [16].
According to point (25) of the R&R Guidelines a Member State concerned must communicate to the Commission, not later than six months after the rescue aid measure has been authorised, a restructuring plan or a liquidation plan or proof that the rescue loan has been reimbursed in full.
V skladu s točko 25 smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje mora zadevna država članica Komisiji najpozneje šest mesecev po odobritvi ukrepa pomoči za reševanje predložiti načrt za prestrukturiranje ali načrt za likvidacijo ali dokazilo, da je bilo posojilo za reševanje v celoti povrnjeno.
Malta has duly notified the RP of Air Malta within the six months deadline.
Malta je ustrezno priglasila načrt za prestrukturiranje družbe Air Malta v roku šestih mesecev.
Given that this relatively short period the situation of Air Malta has not substantially changed so that it requires restructuring aid for its return to viability, it follows that the company clearly still fulfils the criteria set in point 10(a) of the R&R Guidelines and hence qualifies as a company in difficulty for the same reasons indicated in the decision on the rescue aid (points 7-13 and 45).
Glede na to, da se v tem razmeroma kratkem obdobju položaj družbe Air Malta ni bistveno spremenil, tako da je za obnovo rentabilnosti potrebna pomoč za prestrukturiranje, družba očitno še vedno izpolnjuje merila iz točke 10(a) smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje, in se zato šteje za podjetje v težavah iz istih razlogov, kot so navedeni v sklepu o pomoči za reševanje (točke 7–13 in 45).
Point 12 of the Guidelines states that a newly created firm is not eligible for rescue or restructuring aid even if its initial financial position is unsecure.
Točka 12 smernic navaja, da novoustanovljeno podjetje ni upravičeno do pomoči za reševanje ali prestrukturiranje, četudi je njegov prvotni finančni položaj negotov.
A firm is in principle considered as newly created for the first three years following the start of operations in the relevant field of activity.
Podjetje načeloma velja za novoustanovljeno prva tri leta po začetku poslovanja na ustreznem področju.
Air Malta was created in 1974 and cannot therefore be considered as a newly created firm.
Letalska družba Air Malta je bila ustanovljena leta 1974 in se zato ne more šteti za novoustanovljeno podjetje.
Business group
Poslovna skupina
Point 13 of the R&R Guidelines states that a firm belonging to or being taken over by a larger business group is not normally eligible for rescue or restructuring aid, except where it can be demonstrated that the firm's difficulties are intrinsic and are not the result of an arbitrary allocation of costs within the group, and that the difficulties are too serious to be dealt with by the group itself.
Točka 13 smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje navaja, da podjetje, ki pripada večji poslovni skupini ali ga je ta skupina prevzela, običajno ni upravičeno do pomoči za reševanje ali prestrukturiranje, razen če je mogoče dokazati, da je vzrok težav v podjetju samem in te niso posledica samovoljnega prerazporejanja stroškov v skupini ter da so težave prehude, da bi jih lahko odpravila skupina sama.
Where a firm in difficulty creates a subsidiary, the subsidiary, together with the firm in difficulty controlling it, will be regarded as a group and may receive aid under the conditions laid down in this point.
Če podjetje v težavah ustanovi podružnico, veljata podružnica in podjetje v težavah, ki jo nadzoruje, za skupino in lahko prejmeta pomoč pod pogoji, določenimi v tej točki.
Air Malta plc. forms a group together with its subsidiaries (see paragraph (10)).
Air Malta plc. tvori skupino skupaj s svojimi hčerinskimi družbami (glej odstavek(10)).
The accounts of the group show that the airline, despite being part of a larger group of companies, in fact constitutes 94 % of the total Air Malta Group turnover and there is therefore no possibility for any other part of the Group to finance the restructuring of the airline.
Finančna poročila skupine kažejo, da letalska družba kljub temu, da je del večje skupine družb, dejansko predstavlja 94 % skupnega prometa skupine Air Malta in zato ni nobene možnosti, da bi kateri koli drug del skupine financiral prestrukturiranje letalske družbe.
Furthermore, the accounts demonstrate that the airline’s losses are intrinsic to the airline itself and are therefore not attributable to any part of the Group.
Poleg tega finančna poročila kažejo, da je vzrok izgub letalske družbe v letalski družbi sami in jih zato ni mogoče pripisati nobenemu delu skupine.
The Commission thus considers that the difficulties of Air Malta are not a result of an arbitrary allocation of costs within the group but are mostly due to weak revenues in its core business.
Komisija zato meni, da težave družbe Air Malta niso posledica samovoljnega prerazporejanja stroškov v skupini, temveč so večinoma posledica majhnih prihodkov iz njene osnovne dejavnosti.
The difficulties are too serious to be dealt with by the group itself especially because many of the subsidiaries are loss making and the positive contribution by the profitable subsidiaries is far too small to compensate the losses in Air Malta's core business.
Težave so preveč resne, da bi jih obravnavala skupina sama, še zlasti zato, ker številne hčerinske družbe ustvarjajo izgubo in ker je pozitivni prispevek dobičkonosnih hčerinskih družb veliko premajhen, da bi nadomestil izgube v osnovni dejavnosti družbe Air Malta.
Restoration of long-term viability
Obnova dolgoročne rentabilnosti
Firstly, according to point 35 of the R&R Guidelines the restructuring plan, the duration of which must be as short as possible, must restore the long-term viability of the firm within a reasonable timescale and on the basis of realistic assumptions as to future operating conditions.
Prvič, v skladu s točko 35 smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje mora načrt za prestrukturiranje, katerega trajanje mora biti čim krajše, obnoviti dolgoročno rentabilnost podjetja v smiselnem časovnem okviru in na podlagi realističnih napovedi prihodnjih pogojev poslovanja.
The plan must provide for a turnaround that will enable the company, after completing its restructuring, to cover all its costs including depreciation and financial charges.
Načrt mora zagotavljati preobrat, ki bo podjetju omogočil, da bo po izvedenem prestrukturiranju vse svoje stroške krilo samo, vključno z amortizacijo in s finančnimi dajatvami.
The expected return on capital must be enough to enable the restructured firm to compete in the marketplace on its own merits (point 37 of the R&R Guidelines).
Pričakovani donos kapitala mora biti dovolj velik, da prestrukturiranemu podjetju omogoča samostojno konkuriranje na trgu (točka 37 smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje).
The RP with five years long restructuring period aims to achieve a return to profitability as of FY2014 thereby ensuring long term viability.
Cilj načrta za prestrukturiranje s petletnim obdobjem prestrukturiranja je doseči ponovno vzpostavitev dobičkonosnosti do finančnega leta 2014 ter s tem zagotoviti dolgoročno rentabilnost.
Moreover, the most important restructuring measures as well as the implementation of compensatory measures will take place in the first half of the restructuring period.
Poleg tega se bodo najpomembnejši ukrepi za prestrukturiranje in izravnalni ukrepi izvajali v prvi polovici obdobja prestrukturiranja.
The Commission notes that the notified five years restructuring period is especially required because of the relocation of Air Malta.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je priglašeno petletno obdobje prestrukturiranja potrebno zlasti zaradi selitve družbe Air Malta.
Indeed, Air Malta had to first implement its voluntary redundancy and early retirement schemes (following the negotiations with trade unions) in the first half of the restructuring period.
Dejansko je moral Air Malta v prvi polovici obdobja prestrukturiranja najprej izvesti shemi prostovoljnega in zgodnjega upokojevanja (po pogajanjih s sindikati).
Subsequently, the company's reduced staff will be able to relocate to the new headquarter building.
Pozneje se bodo lahko zaposleni družbe, katerih število je bilo zmanjšano, preselili v novo stavbo sedeža družbe.
The sale of the land, which constitutes the main element of the own contribution can thus only take place in the second half of the restructuring period (FY2012-FY2014).
Prodaja zemljišča, ki predstavlja glavni element lastnega prispevka, se lahko tako izvede samo v drugi polovici obdobja prestrukturiranja (med finančnima letoma 2012 in 2014).
Moreover, Malta intends to disburse the aid only in the second half of the restructuring period (see paragraph 43) due to budgetary constraints.
Poleg tega namerava Malta zaradi proračunskih omejitev pomoč izplačati samo v drugi polovici obdobja prestrukturiranja (glej odstavek 43).
Furthermore, the Commission notes that especially in the air transport sector in the current economic circumstances, the stabilization of operational and services performance has to be achieved in order to ensure a long-term viability as a solid base for future growth and not only a short-term turnaround.
Komisija nadalje ugotavlja, da je treba zlasti v sektorju zračnega prometa v sedanjih gospodarskih okoliščinah doseči stabilizacijo operativne učinkovitosti in učinkovitosti storitev, da se zagotovi dolgoročna rentabilnost kot trden temelj za prihodnjo rast in ne le kratkoročni preobrat.
This takes by nature several years.
To običajno zahteva nekaj let.
The Commission notes that in previous cases a restructuring period of five years or more has been accepted [17].
Komisija ugotavlja, da je bilo v prejšnjih primerih sprejeto obdobje prestrukturiranja, ki je trajalo pet let ali več [17].
Therefore, on balance, the Commission finds the relatively long restructuring period (November 2010 – 2015) acceptable.
Zato Komisija po tehtnem premisleku meni, da je razmeroma dolgo obdobje prestrukturiranja (od novembra 2010 do leta 2015) sprejemljivo.
To enable a turnaround for Air Malta, the RP envisages significant cost reductions, especially through the reduction of capacity and staff as well as an improved cost management.
Da bi se družbi Air Malta omogočil preobrat, predvideva načrt prestrukturiranja znatna zmanjšanja stroškov, zlasti z zmanjšanjem zmogljivosti in števila zaposlenih, pa tudi z boljšim upravljanjem stroškov.
The annual improvements in profitability from cost initiatives are expected to total EUR [42 to 52] million by the end of the restructuring period which corresponds to a reduction in total costs of [9 to 11] % between FY2010 and FY2016 or a decline of the total operating cost per passenger by [8 to 10] % between FY2010 and FY2016.
Letna povečevanja dobičkonosnosti na podlagi pobud v zvezi s stroški naj bi do konca obdobja prestrukturiranja dosegla [42 do 52] milijonov EUR, kar ustreza zmanjšanju skupnih stroškov v višini [9 do 11] % med finančnima letoma 2010 in 2016 oziroma znižanju skupnih stroškov poslovanja na potnika za [8 do 10] % med finančnima letoma 2010 in 2016.
The RP demonstrates that especially the reduction of capacity by downsizing the fleet from 12 to 10 aircraft and by consequently reducing the ASK capacity offered leads to significant cost reduction.
Načrt za prestrukturiranje kaže, da zlasti zmanjšanje zmogljivosti z zmanjšanjem flote z 12 na 10 letal in s tem zmanjšanjem ponujene zmogljivosti ASK vodi do znatnega zmanjšanja stroškov.
The social costs of the restructuring amount to the legal obligations of the Company to those workers that will be made redundant.
Družbeni stroški prestrukturiranja se nanašajo na pravne obveznosti družbe do delavcev, ki bodo postali presežni.
The airline has already concluded negotiations with three of its trade unions, covering 85 % of the workforce.
Letalska družba je že zaključila pogajanja s tremi od svojih sindikatov, ki zajemajo 85 % zaposlenih.
The negotiations with the remaining trade union (ALPA) are in the final stages.
Pogajanja s preostalim sindikatom (ALPA) so v zaključnih fazah.
