Those conditions include, in particular, entrustment of the SGEI by way of one or more official acts which among other things specify the precise nature and duration of the public service obligations, the parameters for calculating, controlling and reviewing the compensation, and the arrangements for avoiding and repaying any overcompensation (paragraph 12 of the framework).
V aktih, s katerimi je bilo glede na trditve italijanskih organov podeljeno pooblastilo za opravljanje storitev, storitve, ki bi jih moral opravljati prejemnik, niso bile podrobno opisane, pri čemer ne določajo mehanizma za dodelitev nadomestila za javno nalogo, za katero je bil prejemnik domnevno pooblaščen.
The 2011 communication from the Commission on the application of the European Union State aid rules to compensation granted for the provision of services of general economic interest [21] also states that the SGEI and the public service obligations must be clearly defined beforehand.
Tretji preskus iz sodbe Altmark
Also the first Altmark criterion requires that the undertaking has a public service obligation to discharge.
Temeljno načelo ocene sorazmernosti nadomestila je, da so lahko razlog za nadomestilo le neto stroški, ki so pri javnem izvajalcu nastali zaradi izpolnjevanja obveznosti javne službe.
Accordingly, in order to comply with the Altmark case-law, a public service assignment is necessary that defines the obligations of the undertakings in question and of the authority.’
Ker ni jasne opredelitve obveznosti, uvedenih za prejemnika, Komisija ne more nedvomno določiti, katere stroške bi bilo treba upoštevati pri izračunu nadomestila.
Paragraph 52 states that the public service task must be assigned by way of one or more acts that must at least specify the content and duration of the public service obligations;
Tudi kadar se lahko upravljanje letališča v celoti obravnava kot storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, nekatere dejavnosti, ki niso neposredno povezane z osnovnimi dejavnostmi, vključno z gradnjo, financiranjem, uporabo ter dajanjem v najem zemljišč in stavb za pisarne, skladišča, hotele in podjetja, ki se nahajajo na letališču, ter trgovine, restavracije in parkirišča, ne spadajo med storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena in jih zato ni mogoče subvencionirati v skladu s pravili za storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
the undertaking and, where applicable, the territory concerned;
Italijanski organi niso predložili dokazov, da dejavnosti, ki niso neposredno povezane z ožjimi dejavnostmi letališča, niso bile subvencionirane, kot določata točki 34 in 53(iv) smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2005.
the parameters for calculating, controlling and reviewing the compensation;
Četrti preskus iz sodbe Altmark navaja, da je treba nadomestilo omejiti na čim manjše, ki je še potrebno, da ne bi pomenilo pomoči.
and the arrangements for avoiding and recovering any overcompensation.
Šteje se, da je preskus uspešno opravljen, če je bil prejemnik nadomestila izbran na podlagi razpisnega postopka ali, če to ni bilo izpolnjeno, če je bilo nadomestilo izračunano na podlagi stroškov učinkovitega podjetja.
However, the Italian authorities argue that the Commission approach is excessively formalistic, and that SO.G.A.S. was in fact entrusted with an SGEI;
V tem primeru prejemnik ni bil izbran na podlagi postopka javnega razpisa.
here they rely for the most part on documents postdating the approval of the measures at issue.
Italija Komisiji tudi ni predložila dokaza, da je bil znesek nadomestila določen na podlagi analize stroškov, ki bi jih imelo povprečno dobro vodeno podjetje, ki razpolaga z ustreznimi viri, ki mu omogočajo izpolnjevanje potrebnih zahtev za opravljanje javne storitve, pri izpolnjevanju teh obveznosti, pri čemer se upoštevajo ustrezni prejemki in zmerni dobiček za izpolnjevanje obveznosti.
According to Italy the fact that the management of Stretto airport constitutes an SGEI can be inferred from several regional decisions making reference to the public interest attached to airport services and their instrumental role in the economic development of the region.
Komisija zato meni, da ni mogoče ugotoviti, da je bilo zadevno javno financiranje določeno na podlagi stroškov učinkovitega podjetja.
But those regional decisions do not provide any explicit definition of the alleged SGEI entrusted to the airport manager or any rules governing compensation.
Komisija zato ne more ugotoviti, da je prejemnik opravil storitve z najnižjimi stroški za skupnost.
In addition, the acts in question were adopted from 2007 onwards, and therefore came after the alleged inception of the services of general economic interest, i.e. after the airport's activities in 2004–2006.
Zaradi celovitosti Komisija ugotavlja, da je prejemnik med preiskavo trdil, da so bili ukrepi skladni z načelom vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu.
Nor has Italy made available to the Commission any other document outlining the scope of the presumed public service obligations imposed on the recipient which predates 2004.
Čeprav je imel upravljavec letališča izgube, je mogoče upravičeno domnevati, da bi bila dejavnost donosna.
The Commission therefore considers that in the case at issue the alleged SGEI has not been properly entrusted to the recipient.
Komisija v nasprotju s prejemnikovim zatrjevanjem najprej izpostavlja, da Italija med preiskavo ni trdila, da je država vlagala v upravljavca letališča, ker je pričakovala, da bo donosen, ampak je dejansko trdila, da načelo vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu v tem primeru ne velja (glej točko 49).
The Commission cannot accept the Italian authorities' argument that an SGEI can be compensated legitimately even where the service has not been defined ex ante as an SGEI and entrusted to the recipient on that basis.
Drugič, za oceno na podlagi načela vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu je treba določiti, ali bi zasebni vlagatelj v podobnih razmerah ravnal podobno.
This approach cannot be reconciled with the requirement that SGEIs must be entrusted to the undertaking concerned by way of one or more official acts, setting out among other things the nature and duration of the public service obligations, the parameters for calculating, controlling and reviewing the compensation, and the necessary arrangements for avoiding and repaying any overcompensation.
Komisija meni, da bi zasebni vlagatelj vnesel svež kapital v družbo, katere kapital se je zmanjšal pod zakonito mejo, kot je SO.G.A.S., le če bi v času injekcije vlagatelj lahko pričakoval, da bo družba v razumnem času ponovno sposobna preživetja.
The Italian authorities' claim that airport services are essential to the economic development of the region is not enough to show that the recipient was correctly entrusted with the SGEI, because the public service obligations and the rules governing compensation were not defined transparently in advance.
Ker niti italijanski organi niti SO.G.A.S. niso predložili dejanskih dokazov iz časa sprejetja ukrepov, ki bi kazali, da so javni organi želeli vlagati, pri čemer bi lahko razumno pričakovali ekonomski donos za svojo naložbo, ki bi bila sprejemljiva za zasebnega vlagatelja, in ker je Italija izrecno potrdila, da se načelo vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu v tem primeru ne uporablja, je Komisija sklenila, da ukrepi niso skladni z načelom vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu.
Moreover, to do as the Italian authorities suggest, and consider that Member States may entrust SGEIs ex post, would give more favourable treatment to Member States that had acted in breach of the notification and standstill obligations.
Sklepna ugotovitev
Such Member States would be able to argue that aid granted to an undertaking illegally was in fact necessary to cover the costs of a public service that happened to have been provided by the recipient without however being defined or entrusted to the undertaking beforehand.
Komisija ugotavlja, da noben od štirih preskusov, ki jih je Sodišče določilo v zadevi Altmark, v tem primeru ni uspešno opravljen in da ukrepi niso v skladu z načelom vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu.
But Member States that set out to comply with their obligation to notify would have to entrust and define the SGEI clearly ex ante, in order to comply with the SGEI rules and the Altmark case-law.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da sporni ukrepi, tj. kapitalske injekcije za kritje izgub SO.G.A.S.-a iz let 2004, 2005 in 2006, družbi dodeljujejo gospodarsko prednost.
This would create an incentive for Member States not to notify new State aid, contrary to the well-established principle that Member States that do not notify State aid cannot be treated more favourably than Member States that do [22].
Izkrivljanje konkurence in vpliv na trgovino med državami članicami
In summary, the Commission concludes that the first Altmark test is not satisfied;
Poleg tega je v točki 40 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2005 navedeno tudi, da „[p]oleg teh splošnih podatkov […] ni možno določiti pravil, ki bi bila prilagojena raznolikosti možnih situacij, zlasti za letališča kategorij C in D. Zato je treba o vsakem ukrepu, ki bi lahko pomenil državno pomoč letališču, uradno obvestiti Komisijo, da se preverita njegov vpliv na konkurenco in trgovino med državami članicami ter po potrebi njegova združljivost.“
the Commission also takes the view that the other Altmark tests are not satisfied either, for the reasons set out below.
Letališče Stretto leži na jugu italijanskega polotoka in je eno od treh letališč v deželi Kalabrija.
The second Altmark test
Trg upravljanja in obratovanja letališč, vključno z majhnimi regionalnimi letališči, je trg, odprt za konkurenco, na katerem poslujejo številna zasebna in javna podjetja v celotni Uniji.
Parameters for the calculation of compensation have not been established in advance.
Letališča lahko med sabo tudi tekmujejo za promet kljub različnim ciljnim območjem.
The acts which according to the Italian authorities entrust the services do not detail the services to be provided by the recipient, and do not establish any mechanism for granting compensation for the public task allegedly entrusted to it.
V določenem obsegu in za nekatere potnike so različni cilji nadomestljivi.
The third Altmark test
Javno financiranje letališč lahko zato izkrivlja konkurenco in vpliva na trgovino na trgu zračnega prometa po Uniji.
According to the third Altmark test, the compensation received for the discharge of public service obligations cannot exceed what is necessary to cover all or part of the costs incurred, taking into account the relevant receipts and a reasonable profit for discharging those obligations.
V odločilnem trenutku je letališče Stretto služilo zlasti domačim in dvema mednarodnima ciljema, tj. Parizu in Malti, pri čemer je lahko zaradi prejetih sredstev ostalo na trgu in znatno razširilo svoje delovanje.
The Commission cannot accept Italy's argument that because the financing was confined to offsetting operating losses the airport received only the public financing required for the discharge of public service obligations.
Komisija zato meni, da bi zadevni ukrepi lahko izkrivljali konkurenco in prizadeli trgovino med državami članicami.
A fundamental principle of the assessment of proportionality of compensation is that only the net costs incurred by the public operator for the discharge of the public service obligations may give rise to compensation.
Sklepna ugotovitev o obstoju pomoči
In the absence of a clear definition of the obligations imposed on the recipient, the Commission cannot unequivocally determine what costs should have been taken into account in the calculation of the compensation.
Komisija je sklenila, da kapitalske injekcije, ki so jih SO.G.A.S.-u dodelili javni delničarji za kritje izgub, ki so nastale v letih 2004, 2005 in 2006, pomenijo državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
Even where the overall management of an airport can be considered an SGEI, some activities which are not directly linked to the basic activities, including the construction, financing, use and renting of land and buildings for offices, storage, hotels and industrial enterprises located within the airport, and for shops, restaurants and car parks, fall outside the SGEI, and consequently cannot be subsidised under the rules on SGEIs.
Zakonitost pomoči
The Italian authorities have not provided any evidence to show that there has been no subsidisation of activities not directly linked to the core activities of the airport, as required by paragraphs 34 and 53(iv) of the 2005 aviation guidelines.
Ukrepi, v zvezi s katerimi poteka preiskava, so začeli veljati, preden jih je Komisija uradno potrdila, zato Italija ni ravnala v skladu z obveznostjo mirovanja iz člena 108(3) PDEU.
The fourth Altmark test
Skladnost na podlagi pravil o storitvah splošnega gospodarskega pomena
The fourth Altmark test states that if compensation is not to comprise aid it must be limited to the minimum necessary.
SO.G.A.S. trdi, da je pomoč v skladu s členom 106(2) PDEU združljiva z notranjim trgom.
This test is deemed to be satisfied if the recipient of the compensation has been chosen following a tender procedure, or, failing that, if the compensation has been calculated by reference to the costs of an efficient undertaking.
Člen 106(2) določa, da „[p]odjetja, pooblaščena za opravljanje storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, oziroma podjetja, ki imajo značaj dohodkovnega monopola, ravnajo po pravilih iz Pogodb, zlasti po pravilih o konkurenci, kolikor uporaba takšnih pravil pravno ali dejansko ne ovira izvajanja posebnih nalog, ki so jim dodeljene.
Consequently, the Commission cannot find that the recipient provided the services at the least cost to the community.
Pred 31. januarjem 2012 je bila politika Komisije glede uporabe izjeme iz člena 106(2) PDEU določena v Okviru Skupnosti za državno pomoč v obliki nadomestila za javne storitve (v nadaljnjem besedilu: okvir za storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena iz leta 2005) [27] in Odločbi Komisije 2005/842/ES.
For the sake of completeness, the Commission observes that in the course of the investigation the recipient argued that that the measures complied with the market economy investor principle.
Nov sveženj v zvezi s storitvami splošnega gospodarskega pomena je začel veljati 31. januarja 2012, pri čemer je vključeval Okvir Evropske unije za državno pomoč v obliki nadomestila za javne storitve (2011) (v nadaljnjem besedilu: okvir za storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena iz leta 2011) [28] in Sklep Komisije 2012/21/EU [29].
Although the airport manager had recorded losses, it could fairly be presumed that the activity would yield a return.
Združljivost v skladu z Odločbo Komisije 2005/842/ES
Contrary to the recipient's contention, the Commission points out, first of all, that Italy has not in the course of the investigation argued that the State invested in the airport manager in the expectation that it would be profitable, and has in fact maintained that the market economy investor principle is not applicable in the present case (see paragraph 49).
Odločba Komisije 2005/842/ES določa, da se državna pomoč v obliki nadomestila za javne storitve, dodeljena podjetjem, pooblaščenim za opravljanje storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, šteje za združljivo, če izpolnjuje pogoje iz Odločbe.
Second, for an assessment on the basis of the market economy investor principle, it is necessary to determine whether, in similar circumstances, a private investor would have behaved in a similar way.
V Odločbi je določena zlasti združljiva državna pomoč v obliki nadomestila za javne storitve letališčem, i) katerih letni promet ne preseže milijona potnikov ali ii) katerih letni promet pred obdavčitvijo ne presega 100 milijonov EUR v obdobju dveh finančnih let pred letom, v katerem je bila dodeljena storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena, če letno nadomestilo, ki ga letališče prejme za zadevno storitev, ne presega 30 milijonov EUR [30].
The Court of Justice has held that although the conduct of a private investor with which that of a public investor pursuing economic policy aims must be compared need not be the conduct of an ordinary investor laying out capital with a view to realising a profit in the relatively short term, it must at least be the conduct of a private holding company or a private group of undertakings pursuing a structural policy — whether general or sectoral — and guided by prospects of profitability in the longer term [23].
Odločba Komisije 2005/842/ES se je uporabljala le za pomoč v obliki nadomestila za javno storitev, povezano z dejanskimi storitvami splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
In order to examine whether or not the State has adopted the conduct of a prudent investor operating in a market economy, it is necessary to place oneself in the context of the period during which the financial support measures were taken in order to assess the economic rationality of the State's conduct, and thus to refrain from any assessment based on a later situation [24].
Da bi nadomestilo za javne storitve za opravljanje storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena izpolnjevalo pogoje za izvzetje, mora izpolnjevati tudi podrobne pogoje iz členov 4, 5 in 6 Odločbe [31].
According to settled case-law, if a Member State relies on the market economy investor principle during the administrative proceedings, it must, where there is doubt, establish unequivocally and on the basis of objective and verifiable evidence that the measure implemented falls to be ascribed to the State acting as shareholder.
Člen 4 Odločbe Komisije 2005/842/ES določa, da je treba podjetje pooblastiti za opravljanje storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena z enim ali več uradnimi akti, ki med drugim določajo naravo in trajanje obveznosti javnih storitev, parametre za izračun, pregled in nadzor nadomestila ter dogovore za preprečitev kakršnega koli prekomernega nadomestila in njegovo vračilo.
The Commission considers that a private investor would inject fresh capital into a company whose capital had dropped below the legal limit, such as SO.G.A.S., only if at the time of the injection the investor could expect the company to return to viability within a reasonable time.
Zaradi razlogov iz oddelka 7.1.2.1 Komisija ugotavlja, da prejemnik in italijanski organi niso dokazali, da je bil SO.G.A.S. pooblaščen za opravljanje jasno opredeljenih obveznosti javnih storitev.
Given that neither the Italian authorities nor SO.G.A.S. have provided any concrete evidence dating from the time the measures were taken showing that the public authorities wanted to invest, and could reasonably expect an economic return on their investment that would have been acceptable to a private investor, and given that Italy has expressly confirmed that the market economy investor principle does not apply in the present case, the Commission concludes that the measures do not comply with the market economy investor principle.
Prav tako niso dokazali, da akti, s katerimi so domnevno podelili pooblastilo za opravljanje storitve, na katere so se sklicevali, določajo parametre za izračun, nadzor in pregled nadomestila ali dogovore za preprečitev prekomernega nadomestila in njegovo vračilo.
Consequently, the Commission concludes that the disputed measures, i.e. the capital injections to cover SO.G.A.S.'s losses in 2004, 2005 and 2006, confer an economic advantage on SO.G.A.S.
Ker ni jasne opredelitve obveznosti javnih storitev, uvedenih za SO.G.A.S., se tudi ukrep ne more šteti za združljivega z notranjim trgom in izvzetega iz zahteve po predhodni priglasitvi na podlagi člena 10(b) Sklepa Komisije 2012/21/EU.
But this provision is concerned with the assessment of the compatibility of State aid under Article 107(3)(c) TFEU, and does not try to say that public funding of small airports does not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1).
V točki 16 okvira za storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena iz leta 2011 so določene zahteve za storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena, da se štejejo za veljavno poverjene.
Moreover, paragraph 40 of the 2005 aviation guidelines also states that ‘beyond these general indications, it is not possible to establish rules covering every possible case, particularly for airports in categories C and D. For this reason any measure which may constitute State aid to an airport must be notified so that its impact on competition and trade between Member States can be examined, and, where appropriate, its compatibility’.
V točki 16(a) je navedeno, da mora akt za pooblastitev za opravljanje storitve vključevati zlasti vsebino in trajanje obveznosti javnih storitev.
Stretto airport is is located at the southern end of the Italian peninsula and is one of three airports in the Region of Calabria.
Komisiji niso bili predloženi pravni dokumenti, ki vnaprej jasno opredeljujejo storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena, za katere je bil pooblaščen prejemnik, ali prejemnikovo upravičenost do nadomestila.
Traffic at the airport has constantly remained below a million passengers [26].
Komisiji ni bil predložen dokaz, da sta bili točki 17 in 18 okvira za storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena iz leta 2011 izpolnjeni.
At the time the measures under scrutiny were put into effect the airport therefore belonged to category D, ‘small regional airports’, for purposes of the 2005 aviation guidelines.
Komisija zato meni, da ukrep pomoči, ki se preiskuje, ne more biti razglašen za združljivega z notranjim trgom v skladu s členom 106(2) PDEU.
However, the passenger traffic handled by the airport doubled from 2004 to 2012.
Komisija bi zaradi celovitosti izpostavila, da je treba v skladu s točko 9 okvira za storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena iz leta 2011 nadomestilo za storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena, dodeljeno podjetjem v težavah, oceniti na podlagi smernic o državni pomoči za reševanje in prestrukturiranje podjetij v težavah (v nadaljnjem besedilu: smernice o reševanju in prestrukturiranju).
The market for the management and operation of airports, including small regional airports, is a market open to competition, in which a number of private and public undertakings are active throughout the Union.
V zgodnjih fazah zadeve je Italija trdila, da je bil SO.G.A.S. v skladu s smernicami o reševanju in prestrukturiranju podjetje v težavah.
This is illustrated by the fact that Italy set out to partially privatise Stretto airport and to that end published a call for tenders in 2007 that was open to undertakings from any EU Member State (see paragraph 32).
Vendar je Italija trdila tudi, da ukrepi, ki se ocenjujejo, niso bili del načrta prestrukturiranja in da takega načrta ni bilo.
The public funding of an airport manager may therefore distort competition in the market for airport infrastructure operation and management.
Komisija je zato v sklepu o začetku postopka menila, da ukrepov ni mogoče šteti za združljive s smernicami o reševanju in prestrukturiranju.
Moreover, airports can compete with each other to attract traffic even if they have different catchment areas.
Italija med formalno preiskavo ni več trdila, da je bil upravljavec letališča ob sprejetju ukrepov pomoči v težavah ter da bi se lahko pomoč zato štela za združljivo na podlagi smernic o reševanju in prestrukturiranju.
To some extent, and for some passengers, different destinations are substitutable.
Zato ni dokazov, ki bi Komisiji lahko omogočili, da oceni združljivost ukrepov na podlagi smernic o reševanju in prestrukturiranju, torej jih ne more razglasiti za združljive z notranjim trgom v skladu s smernicami o reševanju in prestrukturiranju.
Public funding of airports can therefore distort competition and have an effect on trade in the air transport market across the Union.
Združljivost na podlagi novih smernic za letalski sektor
At the material time Stretto airport mainly served domestic destinations and two international routes — Paris and Malta — and owing to the funds received the airport was able to stay on the market and significantly expand its operations;
sorazmernost zneska pomoči (pomoč, omejena na najmanjšo potrebno):da bi bila pomoč za tekoče poslovanje sorazmerna, mora biti omejena na najmanjšo potrebno, da se dejavnost z dodeljeno pomočjo izvede [36];
