When aid granted by a Member State strengthens the position of an undertaking compared with other undertakings competing in intra-Union trade, the latter must be regarded as affected by that aid [23].
Kadar pomoč, ki jo odobri država članica, okrepi položaj podjetja v primerjavi z drugimi konkurenčnimi podjetji v trgovini znotraj Unije, se šteje, da je zadevna pomoč vplivala na ta podjetja [23].
It is sufficient that the recipient of the aid competes with other undertakings on markets open to competition [24].
Dovolj je, da prejemnik pomoči tekmuje z drugimi podjetji na trgih, odprtih za konkurenco [24].
The air transport sector is characterised by intense competition between operators from different Member States, in particular since the entry into force of the third stage of liberalisation of air transport ("third package") on 1 January 1993, namely Council Regulation (EEC) No 2407/92 of 23 July 1992 on licensing of air carriers [25], Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes [26] and Council Regulation (EEC) No 2409/92 of 23 July 1992 on fares and rates for air services [27].
Za sektor zračnega prometa je značilna huda konkurenca med prevozniki iz različnih držav članic, zlasti od začetka veljavnosti tretje faze liberalizacije zračnega prometa („tretji paket“) 1. januarja 1993, in sicer z Uredbo Sveta (EGS) št. 2407/92 z dne 23. julija 1992 o licenciranju letalskih prevoznikov [25], Uredbo Sveta (EGS) št. 2408/92 z dne 23. julija 1992 o dostopu letalskih prevoznikov Skupnosti do letalskih prog znotraj Skupnosti [26] in Uredbo Sveta (EGS) št. 2409/92 z dne 23. julija 1992 o prevozninah in tarifah za zračni prevoz [27].
The reduced rate was therefore capable of affecting trade between Member States since it strengthened the position of some airline operators competing in a market which is fully liberalised at Union level.
Znižana taksa je zato lahko vplivala na trgovino med državami članicami, saj je okrepila položaj nekaterih letalskih prevoznikov, ki tekmujejo na trgu, popolnoma liberaliziranem na ravni Unije.
Since all the criteria in Article 107(1) of the Treaty are fulfilled, the measure constitutes State aid to all airline operators that operated flights benefitting from the reduced rate.
Ker so bila vsa merila iz člena 107(1) Pogodbe izpolnjena, ukrep pomeni državno pomoč za letalske prevoznike, ki so opravljali lete, upravičene do znižane takse.
By failing to notify the measure before its implementation, the Irish authorities did not fulfil their obligations under Article 108(3) of the Treaty.
Irski organi ukrepa niso priglasili pred začetkom njegovega izvajanja in tako niso izpolnili svojih obveznosti iz člena 108(3) Pogodbe.
The aid measure thus constitutes unlawful State aid.
Zato ukrep pomoči pomeni nezakonito državno pomoč.
Compatibility of the aid with the Treaty
Združljivost pomoči s Pogodbo
According to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty, aid may be considered to be compatible with the internal market if it aims at facilitating the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
V skladu s členom 107(3)(c) PDEU se lahko za združljivo z notranjim trgom šteje pomoč za pospeševanje razvoja določenih gospodarskih dejavnosti ali določenih gospodarskih območij, kadar takšna pomoč ne spreminja trgovinskih pogojev v obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju s skupnimi interesi.
As the aid constituted operating aid, reducing certain airline operators' current expenditure, it is, according to the case-law of the Court, in principle incompatible with the internal market [28].
Ker je pomoč pomenila pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, s čimer so se nekaterim letalskim prevoznikom znižali trenutni izdatki, je v skladu s sodno prakso Sodišča načeloma nezdružljiva z notranjim trgom [28].
The aid does not fall within the scope of any guidelines for compatibility of State aid issued by the Commission in this context.
Pomoč ne spada na področje uporabe smernic o združljivosti državne pomoči, ki jih je v zvezi s tem objavila Komisija.
In particular, it is not covered by the Community guidelines on financing of airports and start-up aid to airlines departing from regional airports [29], since it is not linked to the start-up of certain routes.
Zlasti ni zajeta v smernicah Skupnosti o financiranju letališč in zagonski državni pomoči letalskim družbam z odhodi z regionalnih letališč [29], saj ni povezana z začetkom delovanja nekaterih prog.
The Irish authorities have not argued or provided any information to show that the aid could be considered to be compatible pursuant to the Community guidelines on State aid for environmental protection [30].
Irski organi niso trdili ali zagotovili nobenih informacij, da bi se lahko pomoč štela za združljivo v skladu s smernicami Skupnosti o državni pomoči za varstvo okolja [30].
On the contrary, they have made clear that the objective of the tax is to raise revenue and not to protect the environment.
Nasprotno, pojasnili so, da je cilj takse povečati prihodke in ne zaščititi okolje.
The fact that the tax in question lacks any clear or proportional link to the reduction of energy use, of pollution or gas emissions, of noise levels, etc., supports that reasoning.
Dejstvo, da med zadevno takso ter zmanjšanjem porabe energije, onesnaževanja ali izpustnih plinov in ravni hrupa itd. ne obstaja nobena jasna ali sorazmerna povezava, podpira takšno razmišljanje.
Therefore, the Commission does not find the aid compatible with the internal market under Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Zato Komisija meni, da pomoč ni združljiva z notranjim trgom na podlagi člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe.
The aid in question does not fall within any other exemption specified in Article 107(2) or (3) of the Treaty.
Zadevna pomoč ne spada niti v katero koli drugo izjemo iz člena 107(2) ali (3) Pogodbe.
Furthermore, even if the aid was compatible with any of the exceptions specified in under Article 107(2) or (3) of the Treaty, which is not the case, the Court has stated that the procedure under Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty must never produce a result which is contrary to specific provisions of the Treaty.
Četudi bi bila pomoč združljiva s katero koli izjemo iz člena 107(2) ali (3) Pogodbe, kar v tem primeru ne drži, je Sodišče navedlo, da rezultat postopka iz členov 107 in 108 Pogodbe nikoli ne sme biti v nasprotju s posebnimi določbami Pogodbe.
The Court has also held that those aspects of aid which contravene specific provisions of the Treaty other than Articles 107 and 108 may be so indissolubly linked to the object of the aid that it is impossible to evaluate them separately [31].
Sodišče je tudi presodilo, da so lahko tisti vidiki pomoči, ki so v nasprotju s posebnimi določbami Pogodbe, razen členov 107 in 108, tako močno povezani z namenom pomoči, da jih ni mogoče oceniti ločeno [31].
In this particular case, as described in recital 10, the differentiated rates were subject to an investigation by the Commission, which found that they were in breach of Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 and Article 56 of the Treaty on the freedom to provide services, since the differentiation imposed more onerous conditions on the operation of intra-Union air services than those imposed on domestic services.
V tem primeru, kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi 10, so bile različne stopnje predmet preiskave Komisije, ki je pokazala, da kršijo Uredbo (ES) št. 1008/2008 in člen 56 Pogodbe o svobodi opravljanja storitev, saj razlikovanje določa še bolj zahtevne pogoje za opravljanje zračnega prevoza znotraj Unije, kot so tisti, ki veljajo za domači prevoz.
The Court has explicitly stated in cases concerning airport taxes that the Treaty provisions on freedom to provide services are also applicable to the transport sector [32].
Sodišče je v primerih, ki zadevajo letališke takse, izrecno navedlo, da določbe Pogodbe o svobodi opravljanja storitev veljajo tudi za sektor zračnega prometa [32].
In this case, the State aid stems from the differentiation in tax rates itself.
V tem primeru državna pomoč izhaja iz samega razlikovanja v višini takse.
As the tax and the aid constitute two elements of the one and same fiscal measure, they are inseparable [33] and therefore the State aid cannot be granted without being in breach of the principle of the freedom to provide services.
Ker taksa in pomoč pomenita dva elementa enega in istega fiskalnega ukrepa, sta neločljivi [33] in zato državne pomoči ni mogoče odobriti, ne da bi kršili načelo svobode opravljanja storitev.
Consequently, the aid cannot be declared compatible with the Treaty in any case because it would inevitably infringe the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 and Article 56 of the Treaty.
Posledično pomoči v nobenem primeru ni mogoče šteti za združljivo s Pogodbo, saj bi neizogibno kršila določbe Uredbe (ES) št. 1008/2008 in člen 56 Pogodbe.
Consequently, the Commission concludes that the aid cannot be considered as compatible with the Treaty.
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da pomoči ni mogoče šteti za združljivo s Pogodbo.
The Commission finds that the lower rate of the air travel tax for flights to a destination located no more than 300 km from Dublin airport provided for by Section 55(2) of the Finance (No. 2) Act, and in particular Article 2(b) thereof, for the period from 30 March 2009 until 1 March 2011 constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Komisija ugotavlja, da nižja stopnja takse na letalska potovanja za lete do destinacij v največji oddaljenosti 300 km od letališča v Dublinu, predvidena v razdelku 55(2) Zakona o financah (št. 2) in zlasti v členu 2(b) tega zakona za obdobje od 30. marca 2009 do 1. marca 2011, pomeni pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
Ireland unlawfully implemented that State aid in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty.
Irska je z nezakonitim izvajanjem zadevne državne pomoči kršila člen 108(3) Pogodbe.
The State aid is not in compliance with any derogation as provided for by Article 107(2) and (3) of the Treaty.
Državna pomoč ni v skladu z nobenim odstopanjem iz člena 107(2) in (3) Pogodbe.
Since no other reasons for compatibility can be envisaged for the measure at hand, it is incompatible with the internal market.
Ker za združljivost zadevnega ukrepa ni mogoče predvideti nobenih drugih razlogov, je nezdružljiv z notranjim trgom.
The State aid amounts to the difference between the lower rate of the air travel tax and the standard rate of EUR 10 (that is to say, EUR 8 per passenger) levied on each passenger.
Vrednost državne pomoči je enaka razliki med nižjo stopnjo takse na letalska potovanja in standardno stopnjo v višini 10 EUR (to pomeni 8 EUR na potnika), ki se obračuna na vsakega potnika.
This concerns all flights operated by aircraft capable of carrying more than 20 passengers and not used for State or military purposes, departing from an airport with more than 10000 passengers per year to a destination located no more than 300 km from Dublin airport.
To se nanaša na vse lete z letali, s katerimi lahko potuje več kot 20 potnikov in ki jih ne uporablja država ali vojska ter letijo z letališča z več kot 10000 potniki na leto do destinacij v oddaljenosti največ 300 km od letališča v Dublinu.
The beneficiaries are Ryanair, Aer Lingus, Aer Arann and other air carriers to be identified by Ireland.
Upravičenci pomoči so družbe Ryanair, Aer Lingus, Aer Arann in drugi letalski prevozniki, ki jih določi Irska.
In accordance with Article 14(1) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, where negative decisions are taken in cases of unlawful aid, the Commission must require that the Member State concerned to take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiaries.
Komisija mora v skladu s členom 14(1) Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999, če se v primerih nezakonite pomoči sprejmejo negativne odločbe, zahtevati, da zadevna država članica sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe, da upravičenec vrne pomoč.
Ireland should therefore be required to recover the incompatible aid,
Irska bi morala zato vrniti nezdružljivo pomoč –
The State aid in the form of a lower air travel tax rate applicable to all flights operated by aircraft capable of carrying more than 20 passengers and not used for State or military purposes, departing from an airport with more than 10000 passengers per year to a destination located no more than 300 km from Dublin airport between 30 March 2009 and 1 March 2011, in application of section 55 of the Finance (No. 2) Act 2008, unlawfully put into effect by Ireland in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty, is incompatible with the internal market.
Državna pomoč v obliki nižje takse, ki se je v obdobju med 30. marcem 2009 in 1. marcem 2011 pri uporabi razdelka 55 Zakona o financah (št. 2) iz leta 2008 uporabljala za vse lete z letali, s katerimi lahko potuje več kot 20 potnikov in ki jih ne uporablja država ali vojska ter letijo z letališča z več kot 10000 potniki na leto do destinacij v oddaljenosti največ 300 km od letališča v Dublinu, in jo je Irska nezakonito uveljavila s kršitvijo člena 108(3) Pogodbe, je nezdružljiva z notranjim trgom.
Individual aid granted under the scheme referred to in Article 1 does not constitute aid if it fulfils the conditions laid down by a regulation adopted pursuant to Article 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 994/98 [34].Article 3
Individualna pomoč, dodeljena na podlagi sheme iz člena 1, ne pomeni pomoči, če izpolnjuje pogoje iz uredbe, sprejete v skladu s členom 2 Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 994/98 [34].Člen 3
Individual aid granted under the scheme referred to in Article 1 which, at the time it is granted, fulfils the conditions laid down by a Regulation adopted pursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 994/98 or by a Commission decision approving an aid scheme is compatible with the internal market, up to the maximum aid intensities applicable to that type of aid.
Individualna pomoč, odobrena na podlagi sheme iz člena 1, ki ob odobritvi izpolnjuje pogoje iz uredbe, sprejete v skladu s členom 1 Uredbe (ES) št. 994/98, ali na podlagi sklepa Komisije o odobritvi sheme pomoči, je združljiva z notranjim trgom do največje intenzivnosti, ki se uporablja za navedeno vrsto pomoči.
Ireland shall recover the incompatible aid granted under the scheme referred to in Article 1 from the beneficiaries.
Irska bo od upravičencev izterjala nezdružljivo pomoč, ki je bila dodeljena na podlagi sheme iz člena 1.
The sums to be recovered shall bear interest from the date on which they were put at the disposal of the beneficiaries until their actual recovery.
Zneskom, ki jih je treba vrniti, se prištejejo obresti od izplačila pomoči upravičencem do njihovega dejanskega vračila.
The interest shall be calculated on a compound basis in accordance with Chapter V of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 [35].
Obresti se izračunajo z obrestnoobrestnim računom v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe Komisije (ES) Št. 794/2004 [35].
Recovery of the aid granted under the scheme referred to in Article 1 shall be immediate and effective.
Vračilo pomoči, dodeljene na podlagi sheme iz člena 1, je takojšnje in dejansko.
Ireland shall ensure that this Decision is implemented within four months following the date of notification of this Decision.
Irska zagotovi, da se ta sklep izvede v štirih mesecih po uradnem obvestilu o tem sklepu.
Within two months following the notification of this Decision, Ireland shall submit the following information:
Irska v dveh mesecih po uradnem obvestilu o tem sklepu predloži naslednje podatke:
the total amount (principal and recovery interests) to be recovered from each beneficiary;
skupni znesek (glavnica in obresti vračila), ki ga mora vrniti vsak upravičenec;
Ireland shall keep the Commission informed of the progress of the national measures taken to implement this Decision until recovery of the aid granted under the scheme referred to in Article 1 has been completed.
Irska Komisijo obvešča o poteku nacionalnih ukrepov, sprejetih za izvajanje tega sklepa, do dokončnega vračila pomoči, dodeljene v okviru sheme iz člena 1.
It shall also provide detailed information concerning the amounts of aid and recovery interest already recovered from the beneficiaries.
Prav tako predloži podrobne informacije o zneskih pomoči in obrestih za vračilo, ki so jih upravičenci že vrnili.

UL C 306, 18.10.2011, str. 10.
Aircraft that are capable of carrying less than 20 passengers and aircraft used for State or military purposes are excluded from the scope of the tax.
Taksa se ne uporablja za letala, s katerimi lahko leti manj kot 20 potnikov, in tista, ki jih uporablja država ali vojska.
The same applies to departures from airports with less than 10000 passengers per year.
Enako velja za lete z letališča z manj kot 10000 potniki na leto.
Every airline operator liable to pay the tax must register with the Revenue service and must, within 20 days or such other period that the Revenue service may determine, furnish the Revenue service with a return showing the number of departures by passengers during the previous month.
Vsak letalski prevoznik, ki je dolžan plačati takso, se mora registrirati pri davčnem uradu in mu v 20 dneh ali kakšnem drugem roku, ki ga lahko določi navedeni urad, predložiti podatke, ki kažejo število odhodov potnikov za pretekli mesec.
In the context of the infringement procedure, the Commission provided its formal notice by letter of 18 March 2010, in which it took the position that Ireland by the differentiation in air travel tax rates failed to fulfil its obligations under Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 and Article 56 of the Treaty.
Komisija je v okviru postopka za ugotavljanje kršitve predložila svoje uradno obvestilo iz dopisa z dne 18. marca 2010, v katerem je menila, da Irski z razlikami v stopnjah takse za letalska potovanja ni uspelo izpolniti obveznosti iz Uredbe (ES) št. 1008/2008 in člena 56 Pogodbe.
Following the letter of formal notice, the Irish authorities amended the tax system.
Irski organi so po prejemu uradnega obvestila spremenili davčni sistem.
