By letter of 28 May 2014, the Commission forwarded these comments to the French authorities.
Vir:
In its letter of 6 June 2014, France informed the Commission that it had no response to make.
Informacije so bile pridobljene od Francije in s spletne strani zbornice.
By letter of 27 February 2014, the Commission asked France to provide further information.
Leto
The Commission agreed to extend the time limit to 27 April 2014.
Z družbo Ryanair je leta 2010 potovalo približno 16 % vseh potnikov, ki so uporabili letališče.
France gave its response by letter of 25 April 2014.
Družba Ryanair je prenehala opravljati lete na letališče Pau, ko so 1. aprila 2011 prenehale veljati njene pogodbene obveznosti do letališča.
By letter of 16 May 2014, the Commission asked France for further information, which it provided by letter of 6 June 2014.
Poleg družbe Ryanair je Air France glavni letalski prevoznik, ki uporablja letališče Pau.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON THE AIRPORT
Opravlja večino letov z letališča Pau, ki predstavljajo večinski delež prometa na tem letališču (približno 80 % potnikov).
As indicated in the decision opening the formal investigation procedure, Pau-Pyrénées airport (hereinafter ‘Pau airport’) is situated in the department of Pyrénées-Atlantiques, within the Aquitaine region.
V obravnavanem obdobju so letališče uporabljali tudi drugi letalski prevozniki, zlasti Transavia CV (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Transavia), ki je hčerinska družba skupine Air France KLM.
The airport was initially owned by the State, which entrusted its operation to the CCIPB through a public equipment concession granted until 31 December 2015 by an Interministerial Order of 12 March 1965 (hereinafter ‘the 1965 Order’), to which terms and conditions defining, in particular, the respective obligations of the State and the CCIPB are annexed.
UKREPI, ZAJETI V SKLEPU O ZAČETKU FORMALNEGA POSTOPKA PREISKAVE IN POROČILU SVETOVALCA
The interministerial order and the terms and conditions of the concession have been amended on four subsequent occasions.
Ukrepi, zajeti v sklepu o začetku formalnega postopka preiskave, so povezani zlasti z opravljanjem letov na ruti med letališčema Pau in London Stansted.
The CCIPB is a member of the network of chambers of commerce and industry.
Prvi ukrep je bil pogodba o storitvah trženja, ki jo je zbornica leta 2005 sklenila z družbo AMS, drugi ukrep pa pogodba o letaliških storitvah, ki jo je zbornica sklenila z družbo Ryanair na isti dan.
In France, the chambers of commerce and industry are public administrative bodies.
Ti pogodbi (v nadaljnjem besedilu: pogodbi iz leta 2005) sta bili sklenjeni 30. junija 2005 za obdobje pet let z možnostjo podaljšanja za nadaljnjih pet let.
In essence, a chamber of commerce and industry represents the general interests of commerce, industry and services within its area.
POGODBI Z DRUŽBAMA AMS IN RYANAIR IZ LETA 2005
The tasks and powers of the chambers of commerce and industry are laid down by law.
POGODBA O STORITVAH TRŽENJA, SKLENJENA Z DRUŽBO AMS ZA RUTO PAU–LONDON STANSTED
These chambers are subject to the administrative and financial scrutiny of the State, through the Minister for Finance and Infrastructure and the Minister for Planning and Local Administration, each acting within his area of responsibility.
AMS je hčerinska družba družbe Ryanair, ki ima izključno dovoljenje za ponujanje storitev trženja na spletnem mestu družbe Ryanair www.ryanair.com.
The supervisory authority must therefore be informed of certain important decisions specified in the regulations (regarding, for example, budget, recourse to borrowing, granting of guarantees to third parties, transfers, acquisitions or extensions of financial holdings in civil or commercial companies, etc.).
Namen pogodbe o storitvah trženja je „določiti pogoje, pod katerimi bo družba Airport Marketing Services zbornici zagotavljala določene storitve trženja za promocijo različnih turističnih in poslovnih zanimivosti v regiji Pau/Béarn“.
Such acts may be implemented only after having been notified to the supervisory authority, which may object to them.
Pogodba določa, da je „glavno orodje za zagotavljanje storitev trženja na podlagi te pogodbe spletno mesto www.ryanair.com, ki omogoča neposredno nagovarjanje potencialnih potnikov nizkocenovnega letalskega prevoznika Ryanair“ (člen 1.1).
The chambers of commerce and industry are managed by an elected assembly of representatives from undertakings within their area.
Pogodba o storitvah trženja iz leta 2005 določa, kako naj družba AMS zagotavlja določene storitve oglaševanja na spletnem mestu družbe Ryanair.
Specific accounts are kept for Pau airport, which are separate from the general accounts of the CCIPB.
Ta sklop storitev vključuje:
On 1 January 2007, pursuant to Article 28 of Act No 2004-809 of 13 August 2004 on local freedoms and responsibilities, the State transferred ownership of the airport to a group of local authorities known as the syndicat mixte de l’aéroport Pau-Pyrénées (hereinafter the ‘syndicat mixte’).
„ustrezen prostor na strani, posvečeni destinaciji Pau, na spletnem mestu www.ryanair.com za 5 (pet) odstavkov po 150 besed v oddelku Top Five Things To Do (Pet najboljših izletov) družbe Airport Marketing Services (cena enega odstavka za eno leto glede na cenik: 20 000 EUR)“,
The Regional Council of Aquitaine, the Departmental Council of Pyrénées-Atlantiques, the Urban Community of Pau Porte des Pyrénées, and 14 municipal groups are members of this syndicat mixte.
„ustrezen prostor v desni menijski vrstici na strani, posvečeni destinaciji Pau, na spletnem mestu www.ryanair.com za 1 (eno) povezavo na spletno mesto, ki ga določi zbornica (cena za eno povezavo za eno leto glede na cenik: 15 000 EUR)“,
An agreement was signed to this end between the State and the syndicat mixte, which entered into force on 1 March 2007.
„ustrezen prostor pod oddelkom Top Five Things To Do na strani, posvečeni destinaciji Pau, na spletnem mestu www.ryanair.com za 7 (sedem) povezav na spletna mesta, ki jih določi zbornica (cena za eno povezavo za eno leto glede na cenik: 10 000 EUR)“, in
This agreement was amended on 12 August 2009.
„prisotnost povezave na spletno mesto, ki ga določi zbornica, na angleški domači strani www.ryanair.com 45 (petinštirideset) dni na leto (cena za en dan glede na cenik: 6 000 EUR)“ (člen 3).
On becoming the owner of the airport, the syndicat mixte replaced the State as concession authority.
Na podlagi te pogodbe se je zbornica zavezala, da bo družbi AMS v času trajanja pogodbe plačevala 437 000 EUR na leto.
Pursuant to Article 28-VI-2o of the aforementioned Act of 13 August 2004, it took over the previous agreements, and in particular the concession agreement signed with the CCIPB.
POGODBA O LETALIŠKIH STORITVAH, SKLENJENA Z DRUŽBO RYANAIR ZA RUTO PAU–LONDON STANSTED
The CCIPB was therefore the airport operator before ownership was transferred to the syndicat mixte, and has remained so since.
Pogodba o letaliških storitvah (v nadaljnjem besedilu: pogodba o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2005), sklenjena z družbo Ryanair, določa pogoje v zvezi z dajanjem infrastrukture letališča Pau na voljo letalskemu prevozniku, zlasti v zvezi s storitvami zemeljske oskrbe in zagotavljanjem zasebnih prostorov.
The airport handles both civil and military aircraft.
Namen te pogodbe je „določiti operativne in finančne pogoje, pod katerimi bo družba Ryanair uvedla in opravljala mednarodne komercialne lete na letališče in z njega.
The following table shows the total number of inbound and outbound passengers having used the airport over the 2000-2013 period.
Poleg tega ta pogodba določa pogoje v zvezi s pristajanjem, storitvami zemeljske oskrbe in drugimi storitvami, ki jih letališče zagotavlja družbi Ryanair“ (člena 1.1 in 1.2).
Table 1
Člen 4 pogodbe o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2005 določa, da bo družba Ryanair opravljala vsakodnevne redne lete na ruti London–Pau in letališču plačevala pristojbine, določene v členih 7.1 (regulirane letališke pristojbine) in 7.2 (neregulirane letališke pristojbine).

POROČILO SVETOVALCA
Source:
Svetovalec je v svojem poročilu zlasti proučil naravo storitev trženja in podrobnosti o letaliških storitvah, zajetih v pogodbah, ki jih je zbornica sklenila z letalskimi prevozniki, ter zlasti pogodbi iz leta 2005, ki jih je zbornica sklenila z družbama Ryanair in AMS.

POGODBE O STORITVAH TRŽENJA, SKLENJENE Z DRUŽBAMA RYANAIR IN AMS
Year
Svetovalec je opravil zlasti naslednje naloge:
Total
preveril je, v kolikšni meri se tarife, določene v pogodbah o storitvah trženja, ujemajo s tarifami, objavljenimi na spletnem mestu družbe AMS (http://airportmarketingservices.com/pdfs/ratecard.pdf).
Ryanair began operating at Pau airport in April 2003.
Po navedbah svetovalca so tarife, navedene na spletnem mestu družbe AMS, v skladu s tarifami, določenimi v pogodbi o storitvah trženja iz leta 2005,
During the period under review (2003 to 2011), Ryanair operated routes to London, Charleroi, Bristol and Beauvais.
proučil je povezavo med zneski, ki jih je zaračunala družba AMS, in obsegom dejavnosti družbe Ryanair na letališču Pau.
In 2010 Ryanair’s flights accounted for approximately 16 % of the airport’s passengers.
Po mnenju svetovalca se zdi, da se stroški za storitve trženja razvijajo v skladu s številom opravljenih letov,
Ryanair stopped flying to Pau when its contractual commitments to the airport expired on 1 April 2011.
primerjal je storitve, ki jih je družba AMS zagotavljala zbornici, z drugimi storitvami spletnega trženja, ki se običajno nudijo na podobne načine.
Aside from Ryanair, the main commercial airline using Pau airport is Air France.
Svetovalec je zaradi naslednjih razlogov dvomil, da je bila sklenitev pogodbe za nakup takih storitev trženja v interesu zbornice.
Other airlines have used the airport during the period under review, in particular Transavia CV (hereinafter ‘Transavia’), which is a subsidiary of the Air France KLM group.
Po mnenju svetovalca se spletno mesto družbe Ryanair zato zdi primerljivo predvsem s spletnimi mesti drugih letalskih prevoznikov, ki na splošno ponujajo le omejene možnosti plačanega oglaševanja, oglaševalci, ki oglašujejo na takih mestih, pa ne vključujejo letališč.
MEASURES COVERED BY THE DECISION OPENING THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE AND THE CONSULTANT’S REPORT
Poleg tega svetovalec ugotavlja, da letališča niso primerljiva z drugimi potencialnimi oglaševalci na spletnih mestih letalskih prevoznikov, kot je Ryanair, saj so storitve, ki jih letališče ponuja potnikom družbe Ryanair, za razliko od pomožnih storitev, kot sta nastanitev in najem avtomobila, po naravi neločljivo povezane s storitvami družbe Ryanair.
The measures covered by the decision opening the formal investigation procedure particularly related to the operation of the route between Pau airport and London Stansted airport.
Nazadnje svetovalec na splošno dvomi, da letališče ravna razumno, če plačuje letalskim prevoznikom, da bi privabilo stranke na letih na letališče ali z njega, saj ti dodatni potniki prinašajo neposredne koristi navedenim letalskim prevoznikom.
The first measure was the marketing services agreement signed by the CCIPB with AMS in 2005, and the second measure was the airport services agreement signed by the CCIPB with Ryanair on the same date.
Zato svetovalec ugotavlja, da ima letališče le omejen poslovni interes za oglaševanje na spletnem mestu družbe Ryanair.
These two agreements (hereinafter ‘the 2005 agreements’) were signed on 30 June 2005 for a term of 5 years, with the possibility of extension for a further 5 years.
Poleg tega svetovalec meni, da ob predpostavki, da tak interes obstaja, letališče in družba Ryanair tega interesa ne moreta izmeriti.
MARKETING SERVICES AGREEMENT SIGNED WITH AMS FOR THE PAU-LONDON STANSTED ROUTE
Zato svetovalec ugotavlja, da poslovna vrednost storitev trženja za pogodbenici ni bistvenega pomena.
AMS is a Ryanair subsidiary that has an exclusive licence to offer marketing services on the Ryanair website www.ryanair.com.
Nasprotno bi po mnenju svetovalca regija kot destinacija lahko imela več koristi od storitev oglaševanja, ki bi stranke družbe Ryanair spodbujale, da v regiji ostanejo dlje časa ali v njej porabijo več denarja.
The web marketing services agreement signed with AMS (hereinafter ‘the 2005 marketing services agreement’), notified by France, states that ‘This Agreement is rooted in Ryanair’s commitment to operate on a daily basis a route between Pau and London Stansted’ (Article 1).
Ker pa sta pogodbo sklenili zbornica in družba Ryanair ali njena hčerinska družba, svetovalec meni, da je treba vse koristi za regijo izključiti iz proučitve pogodbe.
The purpose of the marketing services agreement is to ‘determine the conditions under which Airport Marketing Services will provide CCIPB with specific marketing services intended to promote the various tourist and business attractions in the Pau/Bearn region’.
Svetovalec meni, da neskladje med zelo spremenljivo naravo trga spletnega trženja in fiksnimi cenami družbe AMS vzbuja tudi dvom glede resničnega namena te družbe.
The agreement stipulates that ‘The primary tool for the provision of marketing services under this Agreement is the website www.ryanair.com which allows for direct targeting of the potential passengers of the low fares airline Ryanair’ (Article 1.1).
Po navedbah družbe Ryanair pogodba z družbo AMS ni obvezna in je upravljavci letališč ne bi podpisali, če ne bi imela poslovne vrednosti.
The 2005 marketing services agreement defines how AMS is to provide certain advertising services on Ryanair’s website.
Vendar se svetovalec sprašuje o pritisku, ki ga je družba Ryanair morda izvajala med pogajanji z letališčem v zvezi z opravljanjem letov na rutah, zlasti ker več bližnjih letališč (na primer Tarbes in Biarritz v primeru letališča Pau) tekmuje, da bi privabila družbo Ryanair.
This package of services involves:
Svetovalec meni, da vsi ti dejavniki kažejo, da je bil cilj družbe Ryanair, zaradi katerega so bile sklenjene pogodbe o storitvah trženja, pridobiti subvencijo od letališča in tako ohraniti nizke cene.
‘suitable space on the Pau destination page of www.ryanair.com for 5 (five) 150 word paragraphs within the Airport Marketing Services Top Five Things To Do section (cost of one paragraph per year as per the rate card: EUR 20 000)’,
POGODBE O STORITVAH TRŽENJA, SKLENJENE Z DRUŽBO TRANSAVIA
‘suitable space in the right hand bar on the Pau destination page of www.ryanair.com for the presence of 1 (one) link to the website designated by CCIPB (cost of one link per year as per the rate card: EUR 15 000)’,
Svetovalec je proučil tudi pogodbo o storitvah trženja, ki jo je zbornica leta 2006 sklenila z letalskim prevoznikom Transavia.
‘suitable space below the Top Five Things To Do section on the Pau destination page of www.ryanair.com for 7 (seven) links to the websites designated by CCIPB (cost of one link per year as per the rate card: EUR 10 000)’,
Ta pogodba ni zajeta v sklepu o začetku postopka.
‘45 (forty five) days per year of the presence of a link to the website designated by CCIPB on the English homepage of www.ryanair.com (cost per day as per the rate card: EUR 6 000)’ (Article 3).
POGODBE O LETALIŠKIH STORITVAH
On the basis of this agreement, the CCIPB undertook to pay EUR 437 000 per year to AMS throughout the term of the agreement.
Svetovalec je proučil več pogodb o letaliških storitvah, ki jih je zbornica sklenila z različnimi letalskimi prevozniki (tj. Ryanair, Air France in Transavia) v obdobju 2003–2005.
AIRPORT SERVICES AGREEMENT SIGNED WITH RYANAIR FOR THE PAU-LONDON STANSTED ROUTE
Po navedbah svetovalca se cene letaliških storitev določajo, kot sledi:
The airport services agreement (hereinafter ‘the 2005 airport services agreement’) signed with Ryanair sets out how the infrastructure of Pau airport is to be made available to the carrier, particularly with regard to groundhandling services and the provision of private premises.
regulirane pristojbine (pristojbina za razsvetljavo, pristajalna pristojbina, pristojbina za parkiranje in potniška pristojbina) so določene v ceniku, ki velja za vse letalske prevoznike.
This agreement concerns the London Stansted-Pau route launched in April 2003.
Veljavne pristojbine se vsako leto posodobijo na podlagi tarife, ki je odvisna od pogajanj v ekonomskem svetovalnem odboru letališča.
It replaces the initial agreement signed on 28 January 2003, which was declared void by Pau Administrative Court on 3 May 2005.
Po navedbah svetovalca se regulirane pristojbine, zaračunane različnim letalskim prevoznikom, zato ne morejo razlikovati.
The purpose of this agreement is to ‘determine both the operational and financial conditions under which Ryanair will establish and operate international commercial flights to and from the Airport.
Svetovalec navaja, da se neregulirane pristojbine (za storitve zemeljske oskrbe) med letalskimi prevozniki razlikujejo in so odvisne od dvostranskih poslovnih pogajanj.
Moreover, this Agreement sets forth conditions of landing, groundhandling and other services offered by the Airport to Ryanair’ (Articles 1.1 and 1.2).
Svetovalec je neregulirane storitve, zaračunane družbi Ryanair, primerjal z enakimi storitvami, zaračunanimi drugima letalskima prevoznikoma (Air France in Transavia).
According to Article 4 of the 2005 airport services agreement, Ryanair will operate daily scheduled air services on the London-Pau route and will pay the airport the charges as detailed in Articles 7.1 (regulated aeronautical charges) and 7.2 (non-regulated aeronautical charges).
Ta primerjava temelji na naravi storitev in uporabljenih cenah.
CONSULTANT’S REPORT
Svetovalec je ugotovil, da so se storitve zemeljske oskrbe, zajete v pogodbah teh dveh letalskih prevoznikov, očitno ustrezno zagotavljale in da se narava storitev, zagotovljenih različnim letalskim prevoznikom, dejansko razlikuje.
In his report, the consultant particularly examined the nature of marketing services and the details of airport services covered by agreements signed by the CCIPB with airlines, and in particular the 2005 agreements that it signed with Ryanair and AMS.
Sklop storitev, ki jih prejema družba Air France, je obsežnejši.
MARKETING SERVICES AGREEMENTS SIGNED WITH RYANAIR AND AMS
Družba Ryanair plačuje nižje pavšalne pristojbine (vendar za več storitev) kot Transavia.
The consultant summarised all the marketing services agreements for Pau airport that were signed by the CCIPB with Ryanair and AMS between 2003 and 2008.
Vendar je svetovalec, ki je pavšalne pristojbine, zaračunane družbama Ryanair in Transavia, ter pristojbino, zaračunano družbi Air France za primerljive storitve, primerjal s primerljivo skupno storitvijo, ugotovil, da družba Ryanair plačuje nižjo pristojbino ([…] EUR) kot družbi Air France ([…] EUR) in Transavia ([…] EUR).
Among these, only the 2005 agreements were covered by the opening decision.
Zdi se, da je zaračunana cena enaka približno […] % cene, ki jo plačujejo drugi letalski prevozniki.
In particular, the consultant carried out the following tasks.
Francija trdi, da primerjava letaliških (nereguliranih) storitev, ki jo je opravil svetovalec, ne povzema pravilno rezultatov različnih pogajanj, ki jih je opravila zbornica.
He checked to what degree the rates laid down in the marketing services agreements were consistent with the online rates published on the AMS website (http://airportmarketingservices.com/pdfs/ratecard.pdf).
Navaja več primerov, ki utemeljujejo take pristojbine, zlasti kjer družba Ryanair ne prejema določenih storitev, ki jih prejema Air France.
According to the consultant, the rates listed on the AMS website are consistent with the rates set in the 2005 marketing services agreement.
UKREPI, ZAJETI V SKLEPU O RAZŠIRITVI POSTOPKA
He analysed the correlation between the amounts invoiced by AMS and Ryanair’s level of activity at Pau.
Komisija je menila, da je treba formalni postopek preiskave razširiti in proučiti vse pogodbe, ki jih je zbornica sklenila z družbama AMS in Ryanair, v celotnem obdobju, ko je družba Ryanair delovala na letališču Pau (obdobje 2003–2011), da se ugotovi, ali so bile navedene pogodbe državna pomoč.
According to the consultant, the charges for marketing services seem to develop in line with the number of flights operated.
Komisija se je odločila tudi za razširitev formalnega postopka preiskave na pogodbo, ki jo je zbornica 23. januarja 2006 sklenila z letalskim prevoznikom Transavia, in na različne finančne prispevke, ki jih je letališče v obravnavanem obdobju prejelo od javnih subjektov in katerih seznam je Francija poslala Komisiji z dopisom z dne 30. maja 2011.
He compared the services provided by AMS to the CCIPB with other web marketing services commonly offered in similar ways.
Ti ukrepi so opisani v oddelkih 4.1 do 4.3.
The consultant questioned whether it was in the interests of the CCIPB to sign an agreement for the purchase of such marketing services for the following reasons.
POGODBE, KI JIH JE ZBORNICA SKLENILA Z DRUŽBAMA AMS IN RYANAIR
Firstly, the Ryanair website is essentially a ticket sale website, and not a general travel sale website.
Sklep o razširitvi postopka zajema različne pogodbe, ki jih je zbornica sklenila z družbama AMS in Ryanair v obdobju 2003–2011.
According to the consultant, the Ryanair website therefore primarily seems to be comparable to the websites of other airlines that generally host only a limited amount of paid advertising, with airports not featuring among the advertisers.
POGODBA Z DNE 28. JANUARJA 2003
Secondly, the consultant notes that airports are not comparable to other potential advertisers on the websites of airlines such as Ryanair, given that the services provided by the airport to Ryanair passengers are by nature indissociable from the services of Ryanair itself, unlike ancillary services such as accommodation or car rental.
Zbornica je pogodbo, podpisano 28. januarja 2003, sklenila neposredno z družbo Ryanair (in ne z družbo AMS).
Lastly, the consultant generally questions whether it is rational behaviour for airports to spend their own money with airlines in order to attract customers on flights to and from the airport, when these extra passengers will directly benefit the said airlines.
Ta pogodba vsebuje določbe o letaliških storitvah in storitvah trženja.
For these reasons, the consultant concludes that, for an airport, there is only limited commercial interest in advertising on the Ryanair website.
Člen 2 pogodbe določa obveznosti družbe Ryanair do zbornice in letališke pristojbine.
Furthermore, according to the consultant, assuming that such interest does exist, this cannot be measured by the airport or by Ryanair.
Člen 3 pogodbe določa obveznosti zbornice in navaja zlasti, da mora zbornica na svoje stroške opraviti naslednje naloge:
The consultant also notes that the marketing information on the Ryanair website is fairly brief and unsophisticated, and that if the advertising had been deemed effective (either by the airport or by Ryanair), investment to improve its quality and appearance would have been made.
„izvajati ali oddati v izvajanje letališke storitve v zvezi s terminali/infrastrukturo za lete, kot je podrobneje določeno v Prilogi A k tej pogodbi;
The consultant therefore concludes that the commercial value of the marketing services is not crucially important to the parties to the agreements.
opravljati naloge na področjih odnosov z javnostmi in trženja, ki so podrobneje določene v Prilogi B k tej pogodbi;
Conversely, in the consultant’s opinion, the destination region could have effectively benefited from advertising services encouraging Ryanair’s customers to spend more time or consume more in the region.
družbi Ryanair plačati enkratni znesek v višini osemdeset tisoč eurov (80 000,00 EUR) za uvedbo te nove rute po podpisu pogodbe;
