In addition, the operating aid granted in the past cannot be regarded as compatible, given that BSCA had 3 million passengers, or necessary, given that BSCA should have been able to bear its operating costs.
Zainteresirana stran B navaja, da prednosti, dodeljene družbi Ryanair, razbremenjujejo njeno strukturo stroškov in ji omogočajo, da zaračunava nižje cene.
The aid is and was anti-competitive: according to BAR, given that BSCA is located in the same catchment area as Brussels airport, which had spare capacity, the Region should have taken account of this when granting the aid, which did not happen.
To vpliva na pogoje konkurence ne glede na to, ali ti prevozniki poslujejo z letališča Charleroi ali letališča Bruxelles-National, in ne glede na rute, na katerih opravljajo lete.
Additional comments on the level playing field
Konkurenca med tako imenovanimi „nizkocenovnimi“ prevozniki ni samo ena vrsta konkurence, ki jo je treba preučiti za vsako ruto posebej.
According to BAR, if BSCA considers that aid for the provision of certain public services at the airport must be authorised, then these services must be compared to the same services provided at Brussels airport.
Za veliko potnikov sta destinaciji Benetke ali Barcelona medsebojno zamenljivi.
However, BAR points out that certain services provided at Charleroi airport are regarded as public services whereas they are not at Brussels airport.
Konkurenca je torej na vseh rutah.
BAR stresses that the collection of airport charges must not lead to a situation of discrimination between users.
To podjetje pojasnjuje, da znašajo neposredni stroški za odhode z bruseljskega letališča 32,14 EUR na potnika, v primerjavi s 5 EUR, ki jih družba Ryanair plačuje za odhode z letališča Charleroi [87].
In particular, BAR refers to the reductions enjoyed by Ryanair on the airport charges and not enjoyed by other airlines established at this airport, and to the fact that the airport charges at Brussels airport are much higher.
Čeprav so storitve zemeljske oskrbe za družbo Ryanair bolj omejene kot pri drugih letalskih prevoznikih, ta zainteresirana stran opozarja, da so številne storitve zemeljske oskrbe vseeno nujne za vse prevoznike.
BAR notes that, since Brussels airport was privatised, its services are no longer expressly regarded as public services.
Dejstvo, da je trg storitev zemeljske oskrbe na letališču Bruxelles-National odprt za konkurenco, pomeni, da stroški zemeljske oskrbe na letališču Bruxelles-National običajno ne bi smeli biti veliko višji kot na letališču Charleroi.
These services constitute ‘regulated activities’ for which the charges paid by airport users or passengers are controlled according to a formula.
Stroški zemeljske oskrbe so na manjših letališčih na splošno višji kot na večjih letališčih, ker podjetja običajno ne dosežejo kritične velikosti, da bi ustvarjala ekonomijo obsega.
In addition, BAR draws the Commission's attention to the question of cross-subsidisation given that Ryanair operates at both Charleroi airport and Brussels airport.
Družba BSCA naj ne bi ravnala kot zasebni vlagatelj v tržnem gospodarstvu, temveč iz političnih in socialnih vzgibov po navodilih Valonije.
If such cross-subsidisation were found to exist, this would clearly represent a distortion of competition.
Pogodba, sklenjena za 15 let, družbi BSCA verjetno ne bo omogočila, da bi se uveljavila kot dobičkonosno podjetje, tako da se bo še naprej spopadala s težavami pri poslovanju.
Association of European Airlines (AEA)
Z umikom družbe Ryanair bi lahko bili obeti za donosnost naložbe ogroženi [89].
The AEA submits that subsidies to regional airports are acceptable only if they benefit all airport users without discrimination and do not create distortions between airports within the same catchment area.
Družba BSCA naj bi prejemala prispevke Valonije, bodisi v obliki prihodkov od letaliških pristojbin v višini 65 % bodisi z brezplačno uporabo infrastrukture, medtem ko Valonija plačuje prispevek družbi SOWAER.
The AEA acknowledges that airports may adapt their infrastructure to meet the needs of specific users as long as principles of transparency, cost-relatedness and non-discrimination are observed.
Načeloma mora biti vsako izplačilo Valonije omejeno na nadomestilo za stroške, povezane z obveznostmi javne službe, ki jih ima družba BSCA, in položaj v zvezi s tem ni povsem jasen.
Air France asks the Commission not to approve what, in its view, is operating aid distorting competition between airlines and between airports.
Po mnenju tega podjetja, ki priznava, da je bilo včasih prav tako deležno ugodnosti pri trženju za uvedbo novih destinacij, vendar nikoli ni bilo deležno znižanja letaliških pristojbin ali stroškov zemeljske oskrbe, ugodnosti, dodeljene družbi Ryanair na letališču Charleroi, precej presegajo veljavne prakse.
Air France believes that the Commission should comprehensively compare the fees charged at Charleroi airport and those charged at airports in the same catchment area, in particular Brussels airport.
Vendar meni, da je prevzelo enako velika tveganja z vzpostavitvijo baze na letališču Bruxelles-National v obdobju, ko je bila konkurenca družbe Sabena zelo močna.
Air France also questions the retroactive application of the aviation guidelines to cases involving operating aid for airports, even where this aid was paid prior to the publication of said guidelines, for a number of reasons:
Dejstvo, da tudi nekateri drugi upravljavci letališč dodeljujejo ugodnosti družbi Ryanair, naj se ne bi štelo za dokaz, da je letališče Charleroi ravnalo kot zasebni vlagatelj v tržnem gospodarstvu.
According to Air France, the retroactive application of the aviation guidelines favours non-virtuous operators by legitimising conduct that did not comply with the rules applicable at the time.
Podjetje se sklicuje na sodbo v zadevi Steinike & Weiling [90].
By contrast, this approach penalises operators who did comply with the previous guidelines by refraining from claiming public funds.
Brussels International Airport Company, postala Brussels Airport Company (v nadaljnjem besedilu: BAC )
The retroactive application of the aviation guidelines to operating aid granted to airports is contrary to general principles of law and European case-law.
Po mnenju družbe BAC družba BSCA ni ravnala kot zasebni vlagatelj, ker so se dodeljene ugodnosti po obsegu razlikovale od ugodnosti, ki so jih dodelila druga letališča [91].
Air France claims that the new aviation guidelines will have the effect of favouring new operators to the detriment of incumbent operators.
Dejstvo, da družba Ryanair prejema ugodnosti drugih letališč, naj nikakor ne bi bilo upoštevno, saj tudi te ugodnosti lahko pomenijo državno pomoč.
By allowing a new airline to pay only the incremental cost associated with its activity, they will discriminate against incumbent operators at the airport, who will be subject to higher fees.
Zainteresirana stran Komisijo opozarja na več dejavnikov, ki jih je treba upoštevati pri analizi ponovne vzpostavitve dobičkonosnosti družbe BSCA in za katere se zdi, da izključujejo srednjeročni dobiček:
Lastly, Air France notes that, although the condition of non-discriminatory accessibility to the infrastructure of an airport may seem easy to fulfil in theory, the situation is quite different in practice, with certain operating models being consciously disadvantaged.
družbo BSCA je Valonija decembra 2002 dokapitalizirala s štirimi milijoni EUR;
BSCA calls on the Commission to close its investigation due to the absence of any State aid granted to itself or its trading partners.
družba BSCA„je oproščena plačila polovice zneska pristojbine Valoniji za obdobje 2001–2006.
As a preliminary remark, BSCA considers that the time that has passed since the start of the case may have created legitimate expectations for BSCA and its users.
Ta ugodnost znaša milijon EUR na leto, ki pa ga bo morala družba BSCA plačevati od leta 2007“;
BSCA notes that the Commission was previously informed, during its initial investigation that led to the 2004 decision, about the mechanism introduced by the Region and BSCA in 1991 under the concession agreement and its subsequent amendments.
Komisija bi morala upoštevati znesek stroškov, povezanih z deli za širitev letališča Charleroi, ocenjenih na 95 milijonov EUR, in pogoji financiranja.
BSCA therefore objects to the extension of the scope of the measures examined by the Commission.
Čeprav teh del ne financira družba BSCA, bi bilo treba preveriti pogoje, pod katerimi daje Valonija to infrastrukturo na voljo družbi BSCA.
BSCA draws the Commission's attention to the importance of regional airports in terms of economic and social development, regional accessibility and tourism.
Ta zainteresirana stran dvomi, da bi letališče glede na trenutno stanje infrastrukture lahko sprejelo dovolj potnikov za zagotovitev finančnega ravnovesja družbe BSCA;
It considers that the liberalisation of air transport has created a new category of passenger taking city trips and short-haul flights for family reasons, together with new low-cost business models meeting this new demand.
Valonija daje družbi BSCA brezplačno na voljo potrebno opremo in osebje za vse varnostne postopke na letališču Charleroi, in sicer pregled potnikov in njihove prtljage pred vkrcanjem, čeprav „običajno stroške zagotavljanja varnosti krijejo uporabniki letališča, bodisi s pristojbino za zagotavljanje varnosti, ki se plačuje upravljavcu letališča, bodisi z dajatvijo, če te storitve zagotavljajo javni organi“.
BSCA therefore takes the view that competition between Charleroi airport and Brussels airport is only very limited.
Zainteresirana stran C
In this respect, BSCA stresses the limited impact on Brussels airport of the launch in the past of a route between Dublin and Charleroi airport [86].
(pripombe, prejete po sprejetju sklepa o razširitvi iz leta 2012)
BSCA disputes the analysis made by the Commission in its 2012 extension decision, refuting the non-economic nature of these activities.
Natančneje, (i) pristojbine za vzdrževanje se ne prenesejo na uporabnike, temveč jih povrne Valonija, (ii) pristajalne pristojbine so ugodnejše za družbo Ryanair, […].
The airport manager considers that this represents, firstly, a reversal of position by the Commission in relation to its established decision-making practice and, secondly, a lack of understanding of the international and European regulations on transport safety and security.
Zainteresirana stran C tudi trdi, da družba Ryanair ne plačuje za storitve v okviru običajnega upravljanja letališča, kot so gasilska služba, širitev in izgradnja infrastrukture ter potniške pristojbine.
BSCA reminds the Commission that these services of general interest, which were previously provided by the administration, were transferred with the intention of ensuring sound management and flexibility.
Obstoj pomoči
The compensation paid by the Walloon authorities is therefore capped and cost-based and does not create any advantage for BSCA.
Selektivna prednost
An audit system has been established in order to prevent any overcompensation.
Po navedbah družbe Brussels Airlines je bila družba Ryanair deležna selektivne prednosti v primerjavi z drugimi letalskimi prevozniki.
With regard to the capital increase, BSCA notes that the Commission did not question this during the initial investigation and takes the view that this complies with the market economy private investor principle.
Zaradi pomoči, ki sta jo Valonija in družba SOWAER dodelili družbi BSCA, se namreč znižujejo njeni stroški poslovanja, tako da lahko letalskim prevoznikom, kot je Ryanair, zaračunava nižje pristojbine, s čimer se znižujejo tudi stroški poslovanja tega prevoznika.
The airport manager adds that this increase was decided on the basis of a credible and realistic business plan and that it was justified by its needs due to the considerable development of its activities.
Natančneje, ker stroške, povezane z varnostjo na letališču Charleroi, krije Valonija, jih družba BSCA ne izterja od letalskih prevoznikov, medtem ko letališče Bruxelles-National za to ni prejelo nobenega nadomestila.
In this respect, BSCA stresses that the Commission noted even in 2004 that the expected results for 2003 were higher than those taken into account in the 2001 business plan.
Družba Brussels Airlines meni, da je treba pri presoji poslovne naveze med družbama BSCA in Ryanair upoštevati program skupne finančne podpore Valonije v korist družbe BSCA.
Likewise, the number of passengers passing through Charleroi airport and the operating income in 2011 exceeded the estimates in this same business plan.
Družba Ryanair je bila deležna tudi neposrednih finančnih ukrepov, kot so zagonska pomoč in prispevki za dejavnosti trženja.
Lastly, in BSCA's opinion, the development of its activities in partnership with Ryanair enabled SOWAER to profit from the good results achieved by BSCA, given that it made a substantial capital gain when it sold some of its shares in 2009.
Družba Brussels Airlines dvomi, da je ta pomoč skladna s pogoji iz smernic iz leta 2005 ter da se spoštujeta načeli sorazmernosti in preglednosti.
Comments from interested parties on the measures granted to Ryanair
Družba Brussels Airlines meni, da zaradi kumulativnega učinka vseh ukrepov ni mogoče ugotoviti, da družba BSCA ravna kot zasebni vlagatelj, in Komisijo poziva, naj ukrepov ne preuči ločeno, ampak kot celoto.
(Comments received following the 2002 opening decision)
Primerjalna analiza
The airline Britannia considers that it is normal for airports to be able to provide marketing support and reductions according to the volume of passengers supplied by airlines, especially in the case of airports that are not yet well established.
Po navedbah družbe Brussels Airlines so bile pristojbine, ki jih je družba BSCA v zadevnem obdobju zaračunavala družbi Ryanair, nižje od pristojbin, ki so jih drugi letalski prevozniki plačevali na primerljivih letališčih.
However, these advantages must remain proportional, realistic and limited in duration.
Družba Brussels Airlines kot primer navaja letališke pristojbine na vseh drugih letališčih na gravitacijskem območju Charleroi (Eindhoven, Lille in Köln) ali podobno velikih letališčih (Marseille, Porto in Bologna) in ugotavlja, da letališke pristojbine na letališču Charleroi niso v skladu s tistimi, ki bi jih zaračunal zasebni vlagatelj v tržnem gospodarstvu.
Britannia is worried about the inequality created between competing airlines in this specific case.
Družba Brussels Airlines meni tudi, da je bruseljsko letališče dober primer za oceno diskriminatornosti letaliških pristojbin: obe letališči sta namreč na istem gravitacijskem območju in se srečujeta z enakimi gospodarskimi okoliščinami.
The airport charges are unequal and unrealistic, even though the low-cost airlines use the runways, terminals and safety and security facilities in the same way as other airlines.
Poleg tega lahko bruseljsko letališče svoje fiksne stroške prenese na več letalskih prevoznikov, kar ovrže trditev, da so pristojbine, ki jih zaračunava bruseljsko letališče, nujno višje zaradi njegove velikosti.
SAS points out that the deregulation of European airspace has led to increased competition among the traditional airlines and has also allowed the creation of new airlines, which have developed new business concepts.
Primerjava razkrije veliko razliko med višino letaliških pristojbin na bruseljskem letališču in letališču Charleroi, tudi če se upoštevajo dodatne storitve, ki se na letališču Bruxelles-National zagotavljajo zaradi razlik med ekonomskimi modeli prevoznikov.
It is of fundamental importance that this competition complies with a regulatory framework applied transparently and without discrimination.
Kritje stroškov
KLM Royal Dutch Airlines
Po mnenju družbe Brussels Airlines družba BSCA ni dokazala, da je bila ob odločitvi za sklenitev zadevnih sporazumov (iz leta 2001 in aneksov, ki so sledili) med celotnim trajanjem sporazumov zmožna kriti stroške, nastale na njihovi podlagi, in srednjeročno doseči razumen dobiček.
KLM explains that low-cost airlines and traditional airlines offer different products and that each one has its own ‘raison d'être’ at both commercial and operational level.
Zato družba BSCA ni ravnala kot zasebni vlagatelj v tržnem gospodarstvu.
Low-cost airlines generally avoid large airports, where the logistics can be complicated and usage costs high.
Družba Brussels Airlines navaja, da je stopnja dobička družbe BSCA precej nižja od stopnje dobička drugih letališč v Uniji.
Instead they choose regional platforms allowing them to operate rapid rotations at a reduced cost.
V letih 2006 in 2007 je več letališč v Uniji imelo od 7- do 9-odstotno stopnjo dobička.
These developments should not be called into question, but they should not be based on aid.
Stopnji dobička družb BSCA in SOWAER, prilagojeni zaradi upoštevanja subvencij, sta jasno negativni in torej ne ustrezata navedenim stopnjam, kar kaže na prakse, ki niso tržno usmerjene.
According to KLM, the advantages received by Ryanair at Charleroi airport go well beyond what is permitted under Article 107(1) TFEU, and the consideration offered by Ryanair, consisting of basing a number of aircraft at Charleroi airport, changes nothing in this state of affairs.
Družba Brussels Airlines se sprašuje, ali bi bilo mogoče 50-odstotno znižanje teh pristojbin za družbo Ryanair upravičiti z ekonomijo obsega.
Air France considers that the reduction in the fees charged to Ryanair and its absorption by the Region and BSCA create a disadvantage for Ryanair's competitors who provide links on the intra-Community market.
Za potniške pristojbine, pristojbine za potnike z omejeno mobilnostjo in za storitve zemeljske oskrbe se zdi, da jih ni ali pa so zelo nizke, čeprav gre za stroške, ki jih običajno krijejo letalski prevozniki.
The reduction in the landing fee allows Ryanair to reduce its operating costs and in fact makes it more competitive than its competitors, not only for the flights that it operates into or out of Charleroi airport but also throughout the Ryanair network.
Po mnenju družbe Brussels Airlines je treba pri presoji pomoči za družbo Ryanair upoštevati stroške naložb in poslovanja, ki jih ni krila družba BSCA.
The compensation commitment made by the Region is also regarded as an advantage guaranteeing stability of operating conditions to Ryanair, given that ‘practical experience of using any airport platform demonstrates that the commercial and regulatory environment is never rigid.
Družba Brussels Airlines se sprašuje, ali je družba BSCA zadosti predvidela ocenjene prihodke in stroške letališča med celotnim trajanjem sporazumov, sklenjenih z družbo Ryanair.
Airport charges can therefore easily rise if the airport manager is forced to finance specific measures, possibly with the aim of accommodating other carriers wishing to establish themselves at Charleroi airport.
Družba Ryanair v zameno za znižanje pristojbin družbi BSCA ni mogla zagotoviti prometa, s katerim bi se ustvarili prihodki, ki bi bili enaki in sorazmerni stroškom, povezanim z ugodnostmi, dodeljenimi družbi Ryanair.
In addition, the development of environmental measures can alter the conditions of operation of an airport’.
Zato po mnenju družbe Brussels Airlines zadevni ukrepi niso v skladu z načelom zasebnega vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu, temveč so državna pomoč in dajejo selektivno prednost družbi Ryanair.
According to Austrian Airlines, the arrival of low-cost airlines has resulted in a subsidies race between airports and regions wanting to be served by these carriers.
Družba Brussels Airlines navaja, da pomoč negativno vpliva na letalske prevoznike, ki poslujejo z letališča Bruxelles-National.
These developments have called into question the principle of infrastructure availability payments, even though this is one of the basic rules in the civil aviation world.
Pomoč družbi BSCA omogoča, da zaračunava nižje pristojbine in tako zniža stroške prevoznikom, ki poslujejo z letališča Charleroi.
The aid granted is not degressive, it is independent of the success achieved by Ryanair in the links that it serves and it benefits one airline only, which leads to discrimination.
Ti prevozniki lahko oklestijo cene svojih konkurentov, ki poslujejo z drugih letališč.
Austrian Airlines concludes that ‘cooperation’ such as that observed between Ryanair and the Region causes significant distortions of competition between airlines and is largely incompatible with the smooth operation of the internal market for aviation.
Posledično se je evropski trg direktnih letov iz Belgije preselil v Charleroi.
Association of Residents and Inhabitants of Municipalities Close to Charleroi-Gosselies Airport (ARACH)
V tem segmentu se je povečal samo promet letališča Charleroi.
The Association is concerned that the financial aid granted to Ryanair will lead to ‘unbridled development of the airport’ within an urban site, and that in these terms ‘as both citizens and taxpayers, we are concerned about the questionable State aid granted to a private company, as this involves improper use of the Walloon Region's budgetary resources’.
Število potnikov na letališču Bruxelles-National je v zadnjih letih stagniralo, medtem ko se je promet povsod drugje po Evropi povečal.
Interested Party A
Povedano drugače, po mnenju družbe Brussels Airlines ima vse koristi od povečanja lokalnega prometa letališče Charleroi.
Interested Party A states that it is ‘very concerned’ about the subsidies granted by the public authorities, which will affect the conditions of competition between the various modes of transport.
Družba Brussels Airlines opozarja, da ima bazo na letališču Bruxelles-National, katerega gravitacijsko območje se skoraj v celoti prekriva z gravitacijskim območjem letališča Charleroi.
‘Ryanair is therefore benefiting in particular from public subsidies for the Charleroi-London link, while Eurostar, operated jointly by SNCB, British railway operators and SNCF, is not benefiting from them.
Zato družba Brussels Airlines neposredno konkurira družbi Ryanair: delujeta na istem gravitacijskem območju in privabljata iste potnike.
Both means of transport are, however, in direct competition for the Brussels-London link.
Na trgu Unije družbi Brussels Airlines in Ryanair ponujata isto vrsto storitve (storitev direktnih letov) in letita na iste destinacije.
It is up to the railway operators alone to advertise the link, purchase the rolling stock and engines, pay infrastructure and tunnel tolls, etc.
60 destinacij, na katere leti družba Brussels Airlines, se prekriva s tistimi, na katere leti družba Ryanair.
Equal treatment between competitors is therefore upset’.
Družba Brussels Airlines konkurira družbi Ryanair na 46 destinacijah, in sicer na 16 destinacijah na istem letališču in na 12 destinacijah na letališču na istem gravitacijskem območju.
Interested Party B
Posledica tega je, da je morala družba Brussels Airlines ukiniti nekatere rute, na katerih leti tudi družba Ryanair (sedem od leta 2007) in zmanjšati pogostost letov na nekaterih rutah (na 14 destinacij).
Interested Party B points out that the advantages granted to Ryanair reduce its cost structure and enable it to charge lower fares.
V obdobju 2004–2012 se je tržni delež družbe Brussels Airlines zmanjšal z […] % na […] %.
These practices affect the conditions of competition, whether these companies operate out of Charleroi airport or Brussels airport and whatever the route served.
Njeni tržni deleži se še naprej znižujejo v korist letališča Charleroi, katerega tržni deleži so se povečali z […] na […] %.
Competition between low-cost airlines is not merely competition that must be analysed on a route-by-route basis.
Nezdružljivost z notranjim trgom
For many travellers, the destinations of Venice or Barcelona are wholly exchangeable.
Po mnenju družbe Brussels Airlines večina pomoči, dodeljene družbi Ryanair, ne prispeva k uresničitvi cilja skupnega interesa.
Competition therefore applies to every route.
Poleg tega je bila pomoč porabljena tako, da povzroča izkrivljanje konkurence, kar škoduje skupnim interesom.
