In the present case, however, it is not necessary to take this measure into account as even without it ČSA has provided a sufficient own contribution to cover its restructuring costs (consisting of the sale to private market operators, the sale of land and property to State-owned Prague Airport and the aircraft lease), which amounts to CZK [5,2–5,8] billion or [55–60]% of the restructuring costs [37].
Vendar v tem primeru ni nujno upoštevati tega ukrepa, saj je ČSA tudi brez njega zagotovila zadosten lastni prispevek k pokritju stroškov prestrukturiranja (iz naslova prodaje zasebnim akterjem na trgu, prodaje zemljišč in premoženja Letališču Praga v državni lasti in najema zrakoplovov) v višini [5,2–5,8] milijarde CZK ali [55–60] % celotnih stroškov prestrukturiranja [37].
Therefore, the Commission considers that the requirements of point 43 of the R&R Guidelines have been fulfilled and hence the amount of aid is limited to the strict minimum of the restructuring costs necessary.
Zato Komisija meni, da so bile zahteve iz točke 43 smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje izpolnjene ter je zaradi tega znesek pomoči omejen na najnižjo vsoto stroškov, potrebnih za prestrukturiranje.
‘One time, last time’ principle
Načelo enkratnosti pomoči
Finally, the aid must respect the condition that it is ‘one time, last time’.
Ne nazadnje, pomoč mora biti zagotovljena v skladu z načelom enkratnosti.
Point 72 of the R&R Guidelines provides that a company that has received rescue and restructuring aid in the past ten years is not eligible for rescue or restructuring aid.
Točka 72 smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje določa, da podjetje, ki je prejelo pomoč za reševanje in prestrukturiranje v zadnjih desetih letih, ni upravičeno do pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje.
In the opening decision the Commission had doubts about the possible State aid elements involved in the Osinek loan.
V sklepu o začetku postopka je imela Komisija pomisleke o morebitnih elementih pomoči pri posojilu Osinek.
However, in its final decision in case SA.29864 – Possible State aid implications of a loan provided by Osinek, a.s. the Commission concluded that the Osinek loan did not constitute State aid, and even if it did this aid would be compatible under the TF [38].
Vendar je Komisija v končni odločitvi v zadevi SA.29864 – Mogoče posledice državne pomoči v primeru posojila družbe Osinek, a.s. sklenila, da posojilo Osinek ni pomenilo državne pomoči in tudi če bi jo, bi bilo to skladno z začasnim okvirom [38].
Furthermore, the Czech authorities have confirmed that ČSA has not benefited from any rescue or restructuring aid in the past 10 years.
Nadalje so češke oblasti potrdile, da ČSA v zadnjih 10 letih ni prejela nobene pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje.
The Commission therefore considers that the ‘one time, last time’ principle is respected.
Po mnenju Komisije je s tem upoštevano načelo enkratnosti pomoči.
Other possible State aid issues
Druga mogoča vprašanja v zvezi z državnimi pomočmi
In the course of the formal investigation procedure third parties raised a number of additional potential state aid issues, namely concerning the sale of HCA, cross-financing of the remuneration of the CEO of ČSA by Prague Airport, and a possible advantage granted to ČSA for the operation of the Prague-Tel Aviv route.
Med postopkom uradne preiskave so tretje osebe zastavile več mogočih vprašanj v zvezi z državnimi pomočmi, namreč prodajo HCA, navzkrižno financiranje nagrajevanja glavnega izvršnega direktorja ČSA, ki ga je zagotovilo Letališče Praga, in mogoče koristi za ČSA iz naslova upravljanja letov na liniji Praga–Tel Aviv.
Sale of HCA
Prodaja HCA
In its comments, TS claimed that ČSA has used the State aid it received to expand its charter business (conducted through its subsidiary HCA), which would offer flights at a price 20 % lower than the standard prices on the market.
TS v svojih komentarjih trdi, da je ČSA pridobljeno državno pomoč uporabila za širitev čarterskih dejavnosti (ki jih opravlja prek odvisne družbe HCA), ki lahko ponuja polete po 20 % nižji ceni od standardne cene na trgu.
The Commission has requested detailed information regarding the sale and future operation of HCA.
Komisija je zahtevala podrobne informacije o prodaji in nadaljnjem upravljanju HCA.
The Czech Republic has clarified that no aircraft was contributed into HCA upon the transfer of the charter transport business and confirmed that all aircraft leases are carried out on market terms in accordance with either an expert opinion on transfer pricing [39] or lease rates set on the basis of the Lease Rate Digest published by the International Bureau of Aviation [40], which specializes in estimates of market rates of operating leases for individual types of aircraft and years of production.
Češka republika je pojasnila, da ob prenosu čarterskih dejavnosti v HCA ni prispevala nobenega zrakoplova, in potrdila, da so bili vsi najemi zrakoplovov opravljeni po tržnih pogojih v skladu s strokovnim mnenjem o transfernih cenah [39] ali cenah najema, določenih na podlagi Zbirke stopenj najema, ki jo objavlja Mednarodni urad za letalstvo [40] ter ki se osredotoča na ocene tržnih stopenj operativnih najemov posameznih vrst zrakoplovov in leta proizvodnje.
Regarding any potential transfer of employees, the Czech authorities have clarified that a small number of administrative staff (approximately 20) were transferred to HCA from ČSA in 2010 in connection with the contribution of ČSA's charter business and in accordance with rules set out in the Czech Commercial Code.
Glede morebitnega prenosa zaposlenih so češke oblasti pojasnile, da je bilo s HCA na ČSA leta 2010 preneseno manjše število administrativnega osebja (približno 20) v zvezi s prispevkom čarterske dejavnosti ČSA in po pravilih, določenih v češkem trgovinskem zakoniku.
The majority of staff, including all pilots and cabin crew, has joined HCA following a new selection process.
Večina osebja, vključno z vsemi piloti in kabinskim osebjem, se je pridružila HCA na podlagi novega izbirnega postopka.
All staff that were previously employed by ČSA terminated their contracts and concluded new ones with HCA.
Vse pogodbe z osebjem, ki je bilo prej zaposleno v ČSA, so bile prekinjene, nato pa sklenjene nove s HCA.
No seniority rights were transferred with the new contracts.
Pravice iz delovne dobe niso bile prenesene v nove pogodbe.
Finally, the Czech Republic has confirmed that there is no diversion of a part of ČSA's fleet to HCA where it would be used to operate ČSA flights.
Češka republika je nazadnje potrdila, da ni bilo preusmeritve dela flote ČSA na HCA, ki bi jo uporabljala za opravljanje letov ČSA.
HCA has not expanded since 2009 and is merely returning to the original volume of flights operated by ČSA's charter division in the years 2008 to 2009.
HCA se od leta 2009 ni širila in je le ponovno vzpostavila prvotni obseg letov, ki jih je opravljalo področje čarterskih dejavnosti ČSA v letih od 2008 do 2009.
It will not take over the operation of scheduled flights to destinations discontinued by ČSA, but will only offer charter flights.
Ne bo prevzela rednih letov na ciljne kraje, ki jih je opustila ČSA, ampak bo ponujala le čarterske lete.
In the light of the information provided, the Commission does not consider that any cross-subsidisation of activities between ČSA and HCA is taking place and that the selective advantage provided to ČSA has not been passed on to HCA.
Na podlagi predloženih informacij Komisija ni mnenja, da se izvaja kakršno koli navzkrižno subvencioniranje dejavnosti med ČSA in HCA ter da se selektivna prednost, ki jo je imela ČSA, ni prenesla na HCA.
Cross-financing of CEO remuneration
Navzkrižno financiranje nagrajevanja glavnega izvršnega direktorja
Furthermore, the Czech Republic has asserted that Prague Airport was not providing any compensation for the payment of remuneration for the activities of the CEO in ČSA.
Nadalje je Češka republika zatrdila, da Letališče Praga ni zagotavljalo nobenega nadomestila za plačilo dejavnosti glavnega izvršnega direktorja v ČSA.
Under the two management agreements, the remuneration consisted of two components, a base salary and a performance-based bonus.
V skladu z dvema individualnima pogodbama je bila nagrada sestavljena iz dveh elementov, in sicer osnovne plače in nagrade za uspešnost.
The base component in the ČSA contract was reduced to CZK 1 per month until ČSA attains positive operating results.
Element osnovne plače iz pogodbe s ČSA je bil zmanjšan na 1 CZK na mesec, dokler ČSA ne doseže pozitivnega poslovanja.
The amount of performance-related bonuses was, however, still set at twelve times the non-reduced base component per year.
Znesek nagrade za uspešnost je bil kljub temu določen v višini dvanajstkratne nezmanjšane osnovne plače na leto.
The Commission has verified the CEO's salary overview which shows that, indeed, the salary and bonuses paid by ČSA to the CEO amounted to approximately […] of his annual income, the other […] coming from his employment with Prague Airport.
Komisija je potrdila pregled plače glavnega izvršnega direktorja, ki kaže, da so plača in nagrade za uspešnost, ki jih je ČSA izplačala glavnemu izvršnemu direktorju dejansko znašale približno […] njegovega letnega dohodka, preostalih […] pa je bil dohodek od zaposlitve pri Letališču Praga.
This difference is justified in particular by the different performance of the two companies in the relevant period.
To razliko zlasti opravičuje različna uspešnost poslovanja obeh družb v obravnavanem obdobju.
Since the CEO was remunerated for his work in both companies in a way that reflected their performance, the Commission finds that no State aid has been granted to ČSA by the way its CEO was remunerated for his work.
Ker je bil glavni izvršni direktor nagrajen za svoje delo v obeh družbah na način, ki je odražal njuno uspešnost, Komisija ugotavlja, da ČSA ni prejela državne pomoči v obliki nagrajevanja glavnega izvršnega direktorja za njegovo delo.
Tel Aviv route
Linija Tel Aviv
In its comments, TS alleges that the Czech Republic negotiated the possibility of operating the Prague-Tel Aviv route for more than one carrier especially for the benefit of ČSA.
TS v svojih pripombah navaja, da se je Češka republika dogovorila za možnost, da lete na liniji Praga–Tel Aviv izvaja več letalskih prevoznikov zlasti v korist ČSA.
The negotiations, which involved a change in the bilateral Air Transport Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "the Agreement") between the Czech Republic and the State of Israel [41], took place shortly after the conclusion of an open tender to operate this route which was won by TS (see recital 73).
Pogajanja, v okviru katerih je bil spremenjen dvostranski Sporazum o zračnem prometu (v nadaljnjem besedilu „Sporazum“) med Češko republiko in Državo Izrael [41], so potekala kmalu po koncu odprtega razpisa za izvajanje letov na tej liniji, na katerem je zmagal TS (glej uvodno izjavo 73).
The Commission notes that the Czech Republic had the legal right to initiate negotiations with the State of Israel for extension of rights for access to the transportation market for air carriers of both parties until such time as a uniform European-Mediterranean Aviation Treaty is concluded between the EU and its Member States of the one part, and the State of Israel of the other part.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je imela Češka republika zakonito pravico začeti pogajanja z Državo Izrael za odobritev pravic za dostop do trga letalskih prevoznikov obeh strani, vse dokler ni sklenjen enoten Evro-sredozemski letalski sporazum med EU in njenimi državami članicami na eni strani ter Državo Izrael na drugi strani.
In the process of consultations preceding the conclusion of the Agreement, the aviation authorities agreed, inter alia, on a temporary extension of access to the transportation market by permitting “special flights” which was followed by amendment of the Agreement.
V posvetovalnem postopku pred sklenitvijo Sporazuma so se letalski organi med drugim dogovorili o odobritvi začasnega dostopa do trga prevozov z izdajo dovoljenja za „posebne lete“, ki mu je sledila sprememba Sporazuma.
The Czech authorities have explained that the extension of access to the Czech-Israeli transport market was not negotiated solely for ČSA’s benefit and that the extension of access was undertaken in full compliance with domestic legal regulations and was not in conflict with the Decision of the Department of Civilian Aviation of the Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic granting transportation rights for the operation of the route to Travel Service [42].
Češke oblasti so pojasnile, da odobritev pravic dostopa do češko-izraelskega trga prevozov ni bila dogovorjena izključno v korist ČSA in da je bila odobritev pravic dostopa izvedena popolnoma v skladu z domačimi pravnimi predpisi in ni bila v nasprotju s sklepom Oddelka za civilno letalstvo Ministrstva za promet Češke republike o odobritvi pravic prevozov na liniji družbi Travel Service [42].
The Commission considers that it is indeed a right of the Member State to initiate a change in the bilateral Agreement at any time if the subject matter is not in conflict with the provisions of Union law.
Komisija meni, da ima država članica dejansko pravico kadar koli uvesti spremembo dvostranskega sporazuma, če predmet ni v nasprotju z zakonodajo Unije.
Furthermore, the decision by which TS was awarded the right to operate the Prague-Tel Aviv route does not provide that similar rights might not be awarded to another operator if this is in compliance with the provisions of the Agreement.
Nadalje odločitev, v skladu s katero je bila TS odobrena pravica opravljanja letov na linijo Praga–Tel Aviv, ne predvideva, da podobna pravica ne bi smela biti odobrena drugemu prevozniku, če je to v skladu z določili Sporazuma.
Finally, the Commission notes that Paragraph 1 of Article III of the revised Agreement lays down that "Each Contracting Party shall have the right to designate in writing to the other Contracting Party one or more airlines for the purpose of operating the agreed services on the specified routes."
Nazadnje pa Komisija še ugotavlja, da prvi odstavek člena III spremenjenega Sporazuma določa:
Therefore, ČSA is not the only air carrier that could benefit from the change of the Agreement.
„Vsaka pogodbenica ima pravico drugo stranko pisno obvestiti o določitvi enega ali več letalskih prevoznikov za namene opravljanja dogovorjenih storitev na predvidenih linijah.“ Zato ČSA ni bil edini letalski prevoznik, ki bi lahko imel koristi od spremembe Sporazuma.
Indeed, the revision of the Agreement seems to constitute a market-opening measure which can be regarded as pro-competitive.
Sprememba Sporazuma dejansko pomeni ukrep odprtja trga, ki ga je mogoče obravnavati kot ukrep, ki spodbuja konkurenco.
It cannot therefore be concluded that this measure favours ČSA specifically and therefore constitutes State aid.
Zato ni mogoče sklepati, da je ta ukrep koristen izključno za ČSA in zaradi tega pomeni državno pomoč.
The notified measure constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU.
Priglašeni ukrep je državna pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
The Commission regrets that the Czech authorities did not comply with the standstill obligation under Article 108(3) TFEU.
Komisija obžaluje, da češke oblasti niso upoštevale obveznosti mirovanja iz člena 108(3) PDEU.
However, in view of the above, the Commission considers that the granted aid amounting to CZK 2500 million and the RP are compatible with the conditions of the R&R Guidelines.
Vendar pa Komisija na podlagi navedenega meni, da sta odobrena pomoč v višini 2500 milijonov CZK in NP skladna s pogoji smernic za reševanje in prestrukturiranje.
The Commission therefore considers the aid to be compatible with the internal market under Article 107(3)(c) TFEU,
Komisija zato meni, da je pomoč skladna z notranjim trgom na podlagi člena 107(3)(c) PDEU –
The restructuring aid notified by the Czech Republic consisting in granting CZK 2500 million to České aerolinie, a.s.
Pomoč za prestrukturiranje, ki jo je priglasila Češka republika, in sicer odobritev 2500 milijonov CZK družbi České aerolinie, a.s.
(Czech Airlines) in the form of a debt-for-equity swap of a loan, constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
(češki letalski prevoznik) v obliki zamenjave terjatev v lastniške deleže iz naslova posojila, pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
Implementation of this State aid is compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Izvedba te državne pomoči je združljiva z notranjim trgom na podlagi člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
With effect from 1 December 2009, Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty have become Articles 107 and 108, respectively, of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ("TFEU").
Z učinkom od 1. decembra 2009 sta člena 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES postala člen 107 oziroma člen 108 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije (v nadaljnjem besedilu: PDEU).
For the purposes of this Decision, references to Articles 107 and 108 of the TFEU should be understood as references to Articles 87 and 88, respectively, of the EC Treaty where appropriate.
V tej odločitvi je treba sklicevanje na člena 107 in 108 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije razumeti kot sklicevanje na člena 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES, kadar je to primerno.
The TFEU also introduced certain changes in terminology, such as the replacement of "Community" by "Union" and "common market" by "internal market".
S PDEU so bile uvedene tudi nekatere spremembe izrazja, na primer besedo „Skupnost“ je zamenjala beseda „Unija“, besedno zvezo „skupni trg“ pa „notranji trg“.

In 1992, Air France acquired 19 % of the shares in ČSA but disposed of them again in 1994. In April 2009, a tender for the sale of the State’s equity stake in ČSA was organised, but as no adequate bid was submitted to the Czech Government, the Czech Government eventually instructed the Minister for Finance to cancel the tender in October 2009.
Leta 1992 je Air France pridobil 19-odstotni delež v ČSA, ki ga je prodal leta 1994. Aprila 2009 je bil organiziran razpis za prodajo državnega lastniškega deleža v ČSA, vendar češka vlada ni prejela nobene ustrezne ponudbe, zato je nazadnje ministru za finance naložila, naj prekine razpis oktobra 2009.

The comment was supplemented by two additional submissions and a complaint.
Pripomba je bila dopolnjena z dvema dodatnima dokumentoma in pritožbo.
The civic association "Pro Hanspaulku" alleges that the aid granted to Czech Airlines serves to maintain artificially the airline as a customer of Prague Airport, which is planning to build another runway.
Civilno združenje „Pro Hanspaulku“ trdi, da je glavni namen pomoči, odobrene Czech Airlines, umetno ohranjanje letalskega prevoznika kot stranke Letališča Praga, ki namerava zgraditi še eno vzletno-pristajalno stezo.
The civic association is mainly concerned about the environmental as well as the social impact of this project.
Civilno združenje je zlasti zaskrbljeno zaradi okoljskega in družbenega vpliva tega projekta.
In particular, TS argues that ČSA takes wrong business decisions such as the opening of loss-making routes such as the new Prague–Abu Dhabi route in September 2011.
Zlasti pa TS trdi, da ČSA sprejema napačne poslovne odločitve, kot je uvajanje linij, ki ustvarjajo izgubo, na primer nova linija Praga–Abu Dhabi septembra 2011.
For assessment, see recitals 171-174.
Za oceno glej uvodne izjave (171)–(174).
Following the opening of the formal investigation procedure, the Czech Republic submitted two updated versions of the RP (dated 15 September 2011 and 3 January 2012) to the Commission.
Po začetku uradne preiskave je Češka republika Komisiji predložila dve posodobljeni različici NP (z dne 15. septembra 2011 in 3. januarja 2012).
Pre-restructuring HCA was only providing travel agency services which ČSA planned to close down in its first version of the RP.
HCA pred prestrukturiranjem je zagotavljala le storitve potovalne agencije, ki jo je ČSA nameravala ukiniti v skladu s prvo različico NP.
However, in the revised RP, the HCA travel agency was maintained and ČSA's charter business division was included.
Vendar je bila potovalna agencija HCA v popravljenem NP ohranjena, vključeno pa je bilo tudi področje čarterske dejavnosti ČSA.

Code-sharing is a common form of cooperation between air carriers whereby a flight operated by a particular carrier is offered by other carriers to improve their sales options.
Letenje pod skupno oznako je običajna oblika sodelovanja med letalskimi prevozniki, pri katerem let, ki ga opravlja neki letalski prevoznik, ponujajo drugi prevozniki, da s tem izboljšajo svoje prodajne možnosti.
This form of cooperation enables carriers to expand their networks of destinations on offer.
Ta oblika sodelovanja prevoznikom omogoča širiti mreže ciljnih krajev v njihovi ponudbi.
