Germany stated that it was solely constructed for operational safety and environmental reasons.
Glede ukrepa M9.3, ki zadeva nabavo tehnične opreme, tj. nabavo dodatne zimske delovne opreme, dodatne protipožarne opreme in naknadno opremljanje zunanje ograje letališča z detektorji in opremo za digitalni video nadzor, je Nemčija trdila, da spada v pristojnost javne politike.
Furthermore, according to Germany, the construction of the two new fire station buildings was carried out in the fulfilment of activities falling within the public policy remit since according to settled Commission practice, measures relating to fire safety, especially the construction and operation of the airport fire station buildings and the procurement of the relevant equipment, are considered as falling within the public policy remit.
V zvezi z novo zimsko delovno opremo je Nemčija dejala, da ta omogoča vzporedno praznjenje voznih stez, kar zagotavlja varno delovanje letališča, in je zato v pristojnosti javne politike.
Germany pointed out that the construction of a firefighting facility was usually publicly funded at German airports.
Nemčija je izpostavila tudi, da je bilo treba v skladu s členom 8 nemškega zakona o varnosti letalstva (Luftsicherheitsgesetz) (v nadaljnjem besedilu: zakon o varnosti letalstva LuftSiG), ki izvaja Uredbo (ES) št. 300/2008, letališče ograditi z zunanjo ograjo.
Moreover, according to Germany the construction of the multi-purpose hangar was also carried out in the fulfilment of activities falling within the public policy remit since the hangar would be solely used for the storage of the winter service equipment and as an emergency shelter.
Poudarila je, da letališka varnostna infrastruktura, kot je zunanja ograja, v skladu z običajno prakso Komisije spada v pristojnost javne politike.
Germany explained that the provision of premises for winter service equipment constitutes an official State function since it guarantees the safe operation of the airport during the winter period.
Glede ukrepa M9.4 (ki obsega gradnjo nove stavbe za prevoz živali, vključno z veterinarsko opremo) je Nemčija navedla, da je gradnja tega objekta v pristojnosti javne politike, ker je namenjen preprečevanju vnosa živalskih ali drugih bolezni v Nemčijo ali Unijo.
Germany explained that the provision of the emergency shelter falls within the general interest as it serves to safeguard human life.
Kar zadeva ukrepe M11 in M13 do M16, je Nemčija izpostavila, da v svoji priglasitvi ni trdila, da se ti ukrepi izvajajo za opravljanje dejavnosti, ki spadajo v pristojnost javne politike.
Germany cited ICAO provisions that require airport managers to provide space for the treatment of wounded people and for the storage of dead bodies in the case of an emergency.
Po njenem mnenju ti ukrepi zajemajo razvoj javnega dela letališča na jugovzhodnem območju, širitev severne in vzhodne letališke ploščadi, infrastrukturno prilagoditev na severnem območju in dodatne infrastrukturne ukrepe na severnem območju.
Moreover, according to Germany, the multi-purpose hangar can also accommodate passengers that cannot continue their journey due to natural phenomena (for example the ash cloud in 2010).
FINANCIRANJE INFRASTRUKTURE S POSOJILI DELNIČARJEV DRUŽBE FLH
Furthermore, Germany stressed that the construction of the new hangar was necessary since the enlargement of the multi-purpose hangar at its previous position would not have been possible.
Pogoji financiranja
With regard to measure M6, Germany referred to the arguments in connection with M5.
V zvezi s financiranjem zadevnih infrastrukturnih ukrepov je Nemčija trdila, da so ti financirani s posojili delničarjev, odobrenimi po običajnih tržnih pogojih, zato ne pomenijo državne pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
Furthermore, Germany stated that the construction of the taxiway Victor had been postponed.
Izpostavila je, da se ta posojila do zdaj niso pretvorila v lastniški kapital in da mora njihovo pretvorbo v lastniški kapital odobriti Komisija.
According to Germany the expansion of the de-icing areas (M7) was also conducted in fulfilment of an official State function as the facilities were required for operational safety and environmental reasons.
Nemčija je pojasnila, da se posojila zagotavljajo glede na potrebe po gradnji in da se njihov skupni znesek spreminja mesečno.
Furthermore, Germany explained that the additional de-icing areas were not required to guarantee sufficient capacity in case of increasing traffic since Leipzig/Halle airport could handle increasing traffic even without additional de-icing areas.
Po njenem mnenju se trajanje posojila začne z datumom njegovega izplačila.
It argued that the expansion of the de-icing areas became necessary as a result of the experiences during the winter operation 2008-09.
Pojasnila je tudi, da posamezno posojilo dospe konec leta (31. decembra), v katerem je odobreno.
According to Germany, the additional de-icing facilities serve to guarantee smooth de-icing of aircrafts and to prevent delays caused by inadequate de-icing infrastructure at the airport.
V zvezi s tem je dejala, da se ta posojila pozneje lahko podaljšajo za še eno leto.
In this respect, Germany submitted that delays, in turn, would have a negative impact on the environment, such as kerosene consumption, harmful emissions and noise.
Po njenem mnenju je trajanje posojil mogoče podaljšati večkrat, dokler Komisija ne odobri pričakovanih kapitalskih injekcij.
Regarding measure M8, Germany argued that the construction of a heliport facilitates air rescue at the airport and in general.
Nemčija je nadalje navedla, da znesek posojila in plačljive obresti dospejo na končni datum (tj. 31. decembra vsako leto), vendar se trajanje posojila lahko podaljša za še eno leto.
Regarding M9.1, Germany stated that the rebuilding of Checkpoint 1 was absolutely necessary in light of Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council [22].
Trdila je tudi, da ta možnost podaljšanja omogoča podaljšanje posojila do datuma, ko Komisija sprejme končno odločitev.
Germany pointed out that this rebuilding falls within the public policy remit and that its financing was limited to the costs incurred.
Glede obrestne mere za posamezno posojilo je Nemčija pojasnila, da se ta določi na podlagi Euribora, veljavnega ob plačilu posamezne tranše, ki se mu prišteje dodatek za tveganje.
Additionally, Germany is also of the opinion that the construction of the functional security building (M9.2) fell within the public policy remit and that the financing was limited to the costs incurred.
Menila je, da če se posojilo zagotovi 1. julija, bo (do konca leta) trajalo šest mesecev, obrestna mera pa bo vsota 6-mesečnega Euribora in dodatka za tveganje.
Germany stated that the new functional security building also helped to comply with Regulation (EC) No 300/2008 and was necessary to meet the needs of the federal and regional police, customs and the German Meteorological Service.
Nemčija je nadalje pojasnila, da če se posojilo zagotovi 1. maja (kar pomeni, da do konca leta traja 8 mesecev), se referenčna izhodiščna obrestna mera izračuna z interpolacijo 6-mesečnega in 9-mesečnega Euribora.
Regarding M9.3 which concerned the procurement of technical equipment, that is to say the procurement of additional winter service equipment, of additional firefighting equipment and the retrofitting of the airport perimeter fence with detectors and digital video surveillance equipment, Germany argued that the three measures fell within the public policy remit.
Pojasnila je še, da bo veljavna obrestna mera od januarja po letu, ko se posojilo podaljša, znašala 12-mesečni Euribor, povečan za dodatek za tveganje.
Regarding the new winter service equipment, Germany stated that the equipment permitted that the runways can be cleared in parallel, what ensured a safe operation of the airport, and hence was falling within the public policy remit.
Nemčija je zagotovila pregled zneskov nabranih posojil in pogojev, ki so povzeti v preglednici 3.
Moreover, Germany pointed out that according to §8 of the German Luftsicherheitsgesetz (Aviation Security Act, ‘LuftSiG’), which implemented Regulation (EC) No 300/2008, the airport had to be surrounded by a perimeter fence.
Preglednica 3
Germany emphasised that according to settled Commission practice, the airport security infrastructure, such as perimeter fencing, falls within the public policy remit.

Concerning measure M9.4 (that is to say the construction of a new animal transport building including veterinary facilities), Germany also submitted that the establishment of this building falls within the public policy remit, as it was aimed to ensure that no animal diseases or other illnesses were brought into Germany and the Union.

Regarding M12, Germany stated that in order to be able to further develop cargo traffic and to diminish the risk of accidents on the ground, the planning permission was needed.

FINANCING OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH FLH’S SHAREHOLDER LOANS
EUR (nabran)
Financing conditions
Dodatek za tveganje
Regarding the financing of the infrastructure measures at stake, Germany stated that the measures were financed by shareholder loans which were granted under normal market conditions, and thus do not constitute State aid pursuant to Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Skupna obrestna mera
Germany pointed out that these loans had so far not been converted into equity and that the conversion of the shareholder loans is subject to Commission’s approval decision.
(EURIBOR + dodatek)
Germany clarified that the loans are provided according to the construction needs and that their total amount is changing on a monthly basis.
Nemčija je v zvezi s stopnjami dodatka za tveganje v letih 2006–2008 dejala, da se je uporabljal dodatek za tveganje […] bazičnih točk.
According to Germany, the loan duration starts at the date on which the loan is paid out.
Pojasnila je, da se je ta stopnja določila s primerjanjem posojilnih pogojev naslednjih posojilnih pogodb:
Germany further explained that each loan matures at the end of the year (31 December) in which it is provided.

Germany stated further that the loan amount and the payable interest are due on the end-date (that is to say 31 December of each year), but the duration of the loan might be prolonged by 1 additional year.

Furthermore, Germany argued that this extension option allowed the prolongation of the loan until the date on which the Commission takes its final decision.

According to Germany, if a loan is provided on 1 July its duration (until the end of the year) will be 6 months and the interest rate will be the sum of the 6-month EURIBOR and a risk margin.

2007, ki določa dodatek […] bazičnih točk na leto;
Date
Nemčija je dejala, da so bazične točke izračunanega povprečnega dodatka za tveganje v povprečju zaokrožene navzgor na […] bazične točke.
Amount in million EUR
Po navedbah Nemčije je leta 2010 dodatek za tveganje znašal […] bazičnih točk.
Risk margin
Nemčija je dejala, da bi bilo po njenem mnenju skladnost posojil delničarjev družbe FLH s trgom treba oceniti na podlagi tržnih primerjav in ne na podlagi sporočila o referenčnih obrestnih merah iz leta 2008.
Regarding the risk margin rates, for the years 2006 to 2008, Germany stated that a risk margin of […] basis points was used.
Izpostavila je, da je Komisija družbo MFAG obravnavala samo kot posrednico pri prenosu sredstev na družbo FLH in ne kot upravičenko do pomoči.
Germany clarified that this rate was determined by comparing the loan conditions of the following loan agreements:
Pojasnila je, da pogodba o nadzoru ter prenosu dobička in izgube, sklenjena med družbama MFAG in FLH, slednjo zavezuje k prenosu vsakršnega dobička na družbo MFAG, od družbe MFAG pa zahteva, da pokrije vse izgube družbe FLH, tako da je neto letni dobiček/izguba družbe FLH vedno enaka nič.
Loan agreement between MFAG and Sachsen LB from 19/22.8.2003 setting a margin of […] basis points per annum;
Posledično je obrestna mera, odobrena družbi v skupini, vedno enaka obrestni meri, odobreni matični družbi in obratno.
Loan agreement between MFAG and Sachsen LB/Nord LB from 16.5.2007 setting a margin of […] basis points per annum;
Nemčija je menila, da četudi je bila posojilna pogodba sklenjena leta 2003, zajema dolgoročno obnovljivo posojilo, ki je trajalo do leta 2013, s 3-mesečno obrestno mero, ki se je določila vsakič znova.
Loan agreement between MFAG and Postbank from 28.6.2007/15.7.2007 setting a margin of […] basis points per annum;
V zvezi s tem je dejala, da se je zato med letoma 2006 in 2008 uporabljal dodatek za tveganje […] bazičnih točk, ki bi bil še zdaj veljaven.
Germany stated that the average risk margin calculated was rounded up from […] basis points to […] basis points on average.
Ni se strinjala s trditvijo Komisije, da je samo banka Sachsen LB lahko ponudila obrestno maržo v višini […] bazičnih točk zaradi zmanjšane ravni obrestnih mer, zagotovljene prek finančnih sredstev Evropske investicijske banke.
Regarding the risk margin of […] basis points set in 2009, Germany clarified that the rate was determined by comparing the conditions of two indicative offers from Sachsen Bank and Nord LB of 8 and 9 January 2009 respectively, and the loan agreements between MFAG and Sachsen LB and Postbank of 19/22 August 2003 and 28 June/15 July 2007.
Po njenem mnenju finančna sredstva Evropske investicijske banke niso vplivala na določitev obrestne marže, ki je bila […] bazičnih točk.
Germany stated that due to prudence considerations the margin was rounded up from […] basis points to […] basis points on average.
Nemčija je prav tako nasprotovala trditvi Komisije, da posojilne pogodbe, sklenjene med banko Postbank in družbo MFAG, ni mogoče uporabiti kot referenčno merilo.
According to Germany in 2010, the risk margin amounted to […] basis points.
Sklenjena je bila v korist družbe FLH v ustreznem času in plačilo ni bilo predmet posebnih pogojev.
Furthermore, Germany explained that this figure was determined by comparing two indicative offers from Sachsen LB [23] and Nord LB [24] of 11 and 14 January 2010 respectively, and the loan agreement between MFAG and Sachsen LB of 19/22 August 2003.
Trdila je tudi, da je zavezujoča finančna ponudba bank Sachsen LB in Nord LB z dne 16. maja 2007 ustrezno referenčno merilo.
Germany stated that due to prudence considerations, the average margin was again rounded up from […] basis points to […] basis points on average.
Nemčija je v zvezi z dvomi Komisije, ali se okvirni predlogi, ki so bili poslani po elektronski pošti brez namere o sklenitvi pravno zavezujočih posojilnih pogodb lahko štejejo za zanesljivo tržno referenčno merilo [25], dejala, da sta imeli banki Nord LB in Sachsen Bank dolgotrajne poslovne odnose z družbo MFAG in so bile redno obveščene o gospodarskem stanju družb FLH in MFAG, zato so okvirni predlogi temeljili na izčrpni oceni tveganja.
Germany explains that in 2011, the interest margin used amounted to […] basis points and that the calculation was based on a comparison between two indicative offers from Sachsen Bank and Nord LB of 29 June 2011, and the loan agreements between Postbank and MFAG dated 28 June/15 July 2007, and between Sachsen LB and MFAG dated 19/22 August 2003.
Nemčija je izpostavila tudi, da četudi bi se skladnost s trgom ali posebna pomoč posojil ali obe ocenili na podlagi sporočila o referenčnih obrestnih merah iz leta 2008, ne bi bilo državne pomoči.
According to Germany, the margin calculated was again rounded up from […] basis points to […] basis points on average.
Bonitetna ocena družb MFAG/FLH
Application of market comparators to identify the market rate of FLH
Nemčija potrjuje, da družba FLH ni prejela bonitetne ocene od javnih bonitetnih agencij.
Germany stated that in its opinion the market conformity of FLH’s shareholder loans should be assessed on the basis of market comparators and not on the basis of the 2008 Reference Rate Communication.
Kljub temu je dejala, da obstajajo podatki o njeni kreditni sposobnosti.
Moreover, Germany argued that the loan agreement between MFAG and Sachsen LB of 19/22 August 2003 indeed constituted a suitable benchmark to identify the market level of the interest rates for the shareholder loans.
Dejala je še, da je glavni delničar družbe FLH družba MFAG, ki ima v lasti 94 % delnic družbe FLH.
Germany pointed out that the Commission itself regarded MFAG only as a vehicle for the transfer of funds to FLH and not as an aid beneficiary itself.
Nemčija je dejala, da družba MFAG ni prejela bonitetne ocene od javnih bonitetnih agencij.
Germany explained that the control, profit and loss transfer agreement between MFAG and FLH obliged FLH to transfer all its profits to MFAG and required MFAG to cover all losses of FLH, thus the net annual profit/loss for FLH was always zero.
Kljub temu je zagotovila nekaj internih bonitetnih ocen družbe MFAG s strani bank.
As a consequence, the interest margin granted to a group company was always equivalent to the interest margin granted to the parent company and vice versa.
Dejala je, da je banka Nord LB leta 2006 družbi MFAG podelila bonitetno oceno […] na svoji interni bonitetni lestvici (z […]-odstotno verjetnostjo neplačila), ki se ujema z bonitetnimi ocenami […] do […] na bonitetni lestvici agencije Standard & Poor’s, […] do […] na bonitetni lestvici agencije Moody’s in […] do […] na bonitetni lestvici agencije Fitch.
According to Germany, even though the loan agreement was concluded in 2003, it contained a long-term roll-over loan running until 2013 with interest fixed for 3 months at a time.
Nadalje je dejala, da je družba MFAG v tej bonitetni kategoriji od leta 2006.
In this respect, Germany stated that the risk margin of […] basis points was thus applicable between 2006 and 2008 and would still apply today.
Pojasnila je tudi, da je 2. avgusta 2011 in 20. aprila 2012 to oceno potrdila banka Nord LB.
Moreover, Germany disagreed with the Commission’s argument that Sachsen LB was only able to offer the interest margin of […] basis points due to a reduced level of interest provided through EIB financing.
Dodala je, da je tudi banka Deutsche Kreditbank AG zagotovila podatke o bonitetni oceni, s katerimi potrjuje, da je družba MFAG na podlagi finančnih poročil za leto 2006 prejela bonitetno oceno […] na interni bonitetni lestvici banke, ki se ujema z bonitetno oceno […] agencije Standard & Poor’s in bonitetno oceno […] agencije Moody’s.
According to Germany, the EIB financing had no influence on the determination of the interest margin of […] basis points.
Preglednica 4 vsebuje povzetek bonitetnih ocen družbe MFAG od leta 2006 do 2012 (obravnavano obdobje).
Germany also rejected the Commission’s observation that the loan agreement between Postbank and MFAG could not be used as a benchmark.
Preglednica 4
It was concluded for the benefit of FLH, it was not agreed at a different time, and the payment was not subject to specific conditions.
Bonitetna ocena družbe MFAG v letih 2006–2012
Furthermore, Germany argued that the binding financing offer from Sachsen LB and Nord LB dated 16 May 2007 was a suitable benchmark.
Ocena izgube ob neplačilu (LGD)
Moreover, referring to the argument of the Commission that it doubted whether indicative proposals submitted by an e-mail without the aim of entering into legally binding loan agreements could be considered as a reliable market benchmark [25], Germany stated that Nord LB and Sachsen Bank both have had long-standing business relations with MFAG and were kept regularly informed about the economic situation of FLH and MFAG, thus the indicative proposals were based on a thorough risk assessment.
Kar zadeva zavarovanje posojil s premoženjem in izgubo ob neplačilu, je Nemčija pojasnila, da so posojila zagotovili delničarji družbe FLH v obliki premostitvenega posojila, kar pomeni, da se morajo po odobritvi s strani Komisije pretvoriti v kapital.
Furthermore, Germany pointed out that even if the market conforming nature or the aid equivalent of the loans or both were to be tested according to the 2008 Reference Rate Communication, there would be no State aid.
V zvezi s tem je pojasnila še, da posojila zato niso zavarovana s premoženjem.
Germany stressed that the new method for calculating the reference rate only applied from 1 July 2008.
Nemčija je navedla, da niso predvideni posebni načini odplačevanja za posojila delničarjev, ker naj bi se po pričakovanjih slednja pretvorila v lastniški kapital, zato se ne bodo odplačala.
As a consequence, for loan agreements concluded before this date, the previous Reference Rate Communication has to be applied.
Menila je, da če se posojila ne pretvorijo v lastniški kapital, ker Komisija ne odobri financiranja infrastrukturnih ukrepov, se posojilna pogodba v skladu s členom 488(3) nemškega civilnega zakonika (Deutsches Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) lahko prekine v 3 mesecih.
Credit rating of MFAG/FLH
Prekinitev pogodbe pomeni, da posojilo dospe skupaj z obrestmi.
Germany confirms that FLH has not been rated by public credit rating agencies.
Nemčija trdi, da četudi posojila niso zavarovana s premoženjem, bi se morala izguba družbe FLH ob neplačilu šteti za vsaj nižjo od […] % in tudi blizu […] %, ker vrednost sredstev družbe FLH (ki je leta 2010 znašala […] milijonov EUR) presega vrednost obveznosti (ki so leta 2010 znašale […] milijonov EUR).
Nevertheless, Germany stated that there are some indications of its creditworthiness.
Po njenem mnenju bodo sredstva v primeru stečaja družbe FLH zadostovala za kritje teh terjatev.
Germany stated further that the main shareholder of FLH is MFAG, which owns 94 % of the shares in FLH.
Nemčija je dejala, da sredstva družbe FLH, ki med drugim zajemajo lastništvo zemljišč, stavb, tehnične opreme in strojev, niso zastavljena pri delničarjih ali zunanjih upnikih.
According to Germany, as there is a Loss and Profit Sharing Agreement between MFAG and FLH from 6 December 2000, which obliges MFAG to cover any losses of FLH, the rating of FLH should be at least the same (or higher) as the rating of its parent company MFAG.
Kapitalske injekcije niso zagotovile prednosti
