natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
As the 100 % guarantee and the right to participate in the cash-pool was granted only to FGAZ/FZG (and, in the case of the cash-pool, other undertakings in which the Land holds a majority of shares), both measures have to be qualified as being selective in nature.
Vendar kljub temu, da je predsednika nadzornega sveta družb FGAZ/FZG vedno imenovala zvezna dežela, ki je dejansko financirala med 95 % in 80 % izgub družb FGAZ/FZG (zaradi česar je zelo vplivala na družbo ZEF in se s finančnega vidika zelo zanimala zanjo), je mogoče z verjetnostjo trditi, da je zvezna dežela dejansko nadzorovala družbi FGAZ/FZG.
For the same reasons as outlined in recitals 233 et seq., the Commission considers that any selective economic advantage granted to FGAZ/FZG is liable to distort competition and affect trade between Member States.
Kar zadeva poslovni odnos med letalskim prevoznikom Ryanair in družbama FGAZ/FZG na eni strani ter zvezno deželo Porenje-Pfalška na drugi strani, Komisija ugotavlja, da je interes družb FGAZ/FZG in zvezne dežele pri sklepanju ustreznih pogodb zelo podoben:
In conclusion, the Commission finds that by granting FGAZ/FZG a 100 % guarantee on a bank loan free of charge and allowing FGAZ to participate in the Land's cash-pool, the Land granted State aid to FGAZ/FZG.
vse je zanimalo povečanje prometa na letališču, pri čemer je bilo zvezni deželi vseeno, ali sta pogodbo (katere stroške bi morali pozneje vrniti na podlagi pogodbe o prenosu) sklenili družbi FGAZ/FZG ali je pogodbo sklenila sama.
In addition, the Commission concludes that the loan by Sparkasse Südwestpfalz itself did not constitute State aid.
S tega vidika dejstvo, da je bila ena od pogodb o storitvah trženja sklenjena neposredno z zvezno deželo, medtem ko je bila pogodba o letaliških storitvah sklenjena z njeno odvisno hčerinsko družbo, ne more zmanjšati verjetnosti, da se pogodbe ocenijo kot en gospodarski posel.
The Commission considers that the compatibility considerations presented in recitals 248 et seq. and 283 et seq. with respect to State aid in the form of direct investment grants and annual capital injections are equally applicable to the State aid in the form of a guarantee and participation in the cash-pool.
Pogodbi sta bili sklenjeni skoraj sočasno, saj je bila pogodba o letaliških storitvah (22. september 2008) sklenjena natanko dva tedna pred pogodbo o storitvah trženja z družbo AMS (6. oktober 2008).
Accordingly, the Commission finds that the State aid granted by way of providing FGAZ/FZG a 100 % guarantee free of charge and allowing it to participate in the Land's cash-pool is incompatible with the internal market.
Drugič, v prvem oddelku pogodbe o storitvah trženja z družbo AMS z naslovom „Namen pogodbe“ je navedeno, da pogodba „temelji na zavezi letalskega prevoznika Ryanair, da bo svoje storitve opravljal na ruti med letališčema Zweibrücken in London“.
DISCOUNTS ON AIRPORT CHARGES AND MARKETING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH RYANAIR
Navedena ubeseditev vzpostavlja jasno neposredno povezavo med pogodbo o storitvah in pogodbo o storitvah trženja v smislu, da se ena ne bi mogla skleniti brez druge.
By providing air transportation services, airlines are performing an economic activity and therefore constitute undertakings for the purposes of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Pogodba o storitvah trženja temelji na sklenitvi pogodbe o letaliških storitvah in na storitvah, ki jih zagotavlja letalski prevoznik Ryanair.
It must accordingly be analysed whether the agreements between the airlines and the airport in question, if imputable to the State and effecting a transfer of State resources, granted the former an economic advantage.
V preambuli pogodbe o storitvah trženja je navedeno, da se zvezna dežela Porenje-Pfalška namerava usmeriti v potnike letalskega prevoznika Ryanair, da bi spodbudila turizem in poslovne priložnosti v regiji in zlasti oglaševala letališče Zweibrücken kot destinacijo.
The measure must be imputable to the State and be granted from State resources.
Tretjič, v preambuli pogodbe o storitvah trženja je navedeno, da se je zvezna dežela Porenje-Pfalška odločila za „dejavno oglaševanje letališča Zweibrücken kot počitniške destinacije za vse mednarodne letalske potnike in kot privlačno poslovno središče“.
The Court of Justice held in the Stardust Marine [89] judgment that the resources of an undertaking incorporated under private law, whose shares are in majority publicly owned, constitute State resources.
Iz tega je razvidno, da sta osnovni in posebni cilj sklenitve pogodbe o storitvah trženja oglaševanje letališča Zweibrücken (in okoliških območij).
In this respect, it is consistent Commission practice to consider that irrespective of whether a public undertaking is loss-making or profit-making, all its resources are to be considered as State resources [90].
Četrtič, pogodba o storitvah trženja zagotavlja zlasti, da se na spletnem mestu Ryanair.com dve povezavi vstavita v desno vrstico spletne strani o letališču Zweibrücken kot destinaciji in v pet odstavkov znotraj oddelka „Pet najboljših predlogov, kaj početi“ navedene spletne strani.
Concerning imputability, in its Stardust Marine judgment the Court of Justice furthermore held that the fact that the State or a State entity is the sole or majority shareholder of an undertaking is not sufficient to find that a transfer of resources by that undertaking is imputable to its public shareholders [91].
Iz teh določb se lahko sklepa, da je namen pogodbe podpreti zlasti letališče Zweibrücken in ne zvezne dežele Porenje-Pfalška kot celote.
According to the Court of Justice, even if the State was in a position to control a public undertaking and to exercise a dominant influence over its operations, actual exercise of that control in a particular case could not be automatically presumed, since a public undertaking may also act with more or less independence, according to the degree of autonomy left to it by the State.
Petič, če letalski prevoznik Ryanair preneha z opravljanjem dejavnosti na navedeni ruti med letališčema Zweibrücken in London, lahko zvezna dežela Porenje-Pfalška pogodbo nemudoma prekine.
According to the Court of Justice, indicators from which imputability might be inferred, are [92]:
Tudi to dokazuje, da sta pogodba o storitvah trženja in pogodba o letaliških storitvah neločljivo povezani.
the fact that the undertaking in question could not take the contested decision without taking account of the requirements of the public authorities;
Pogodba o storitvah trženja, ki sta jo sklenili zvezna dežela Porenje-Pfalška in družba AMS, je neločljivo povezana s pogodbo o letaliških storitvah, ki sta jo podpisala letalski prevoznik Ryanair in družba FZG.
the fact that the undertaking had to take account of directives issued by public authorities;
Navedene ugotovitve kažejo, da se pogodba o storitvah trženja brez pogodbe o letaliških storitvah ne bi sklenila.
the integration of the public undertaking into the structures of the public administration;
V pogodbi o storitvah trženja je jasno navedeno, da temelji na storitvi letalskega prevoznika Ryanair o opravljanju letov na ruti Zweibrücken-London in dejansko predvideva storitve trženja, katerih namen je oglaševati navedeno ruto.
the nature of the public undertaking's activities and the exercise of those activities on the market in normal conditions of competition with private operators;
Hkrati se zdi, da je bila sklenitev pogodbe o letaliških storitvah odvisna tudi od pogodbe o storitvah trženja:
the legal status of the undertaking;
čeprav je bila pogodba o letaliških storitvah sklenjena že prej, letalskega prevoznika Ryanair ni zavezovala k opravljanju storitev na letališču Zweibrücken.
the intensity of the supervision exercised by the public authorities over the management of the undertaking;
Nasprotno, v njej je izrecno dogovorjeno, da „če se storitev ne začne zagotavljati do 28. oktobra 2008, ta pogodba preneha veljati, ne da bi se odgovornost prenesla na katero od pogodbenih strank“.
any other indicator showing, in the particular case, an involvement by the public authorities in the adoption of a measure or the unlikelihood of their not being involved, having regard also to the compass of the measure, its content or the conditions which it contains.
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair je svoje dejavnosti na letališču Zweibrücken začel opravljati dejansko šele po sklenitvi pogodbe z družbo AMS.
State resources
Zato je po mnenju Komisije primerno pogodbo o letaliških storitvah z dne 22. septembra 2008 in pogodbo o storitvah trženja z dne 6. oktobra 2008 proučiti skupaj, da se ugotovi, ali pomenita državno pomoč ali ne.
The Commission notes that FGAZ/FZG are owned 100 % by the State, namely 50 % by the Land Rhineland-Palatinate and 50 % by the ZEF.
O koristih, ki bi jih lahko udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu pričakoval na podlagi pogodb o storitvah trženja, in ceni, ki bi jo bil za te storitve pripravljen plačati
FGAZ/FZG must thus be considered to constitute public undertakings within the meaning of Article 2(b) of Directive 2006/111/EC.
Da se v zadevnem primeru lahko uporabi načelo udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, je treba ravnanje družb FGAZ/FZG in zvezne dežele kot podpisnic pogodbe o letaliških storitvah z družbo Ryanair in pogodbe o storitvah trženja z družbo AMS primerjati z ravnanjem hipotetičnega udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, ki je odgovoren za upravljanje letališča Zweibrücken.
The State, as the sole shareholder of FGAZ/FZG and by appointing the (identical) supervisory boards of FGAZ/FZG (which in turn appoint the management), can be presumed to have a dominant influence over FGAZ/FZG, and can control its resources.
Pri analizi zadevnega posla bi bilo priporočljivo proučiti koristi, ki bi jih ta hipotetični udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu, ki ga je zanimala možnost donosa, lahko pridobil z nakupom storitev trženja.
Thus, any advantage granted from FGAZ/FZG's resources would signify a loss of State resources, thus constituting a transfer of State resources.
V tej analizi se ne bi smel upoštevati splošni učinek takšnih storitev na turizem in gospodarsko uspešnost regije.
Imputability
Upoštevati bi se moral le učinek teh storitev na donosnost letališča, saj bi bilo to edino, kar bi zanimalo hipotetičnega udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
While Germany submitted that the conclusion of contracts between airlines and FZG is not imputable to the State, it acknowledged that the State — represented by the Land Rhineland-Palatinate and the ZEF — is indirectly involved, namely via its representatives on the supervisory board of FZG's mother company, FGAZ.
S storitvami trženja bi se verjetno povečal potniški promet na rutah, zajetih v pogodbah o storitvah trženja in v ustreznih pogodbah o letaliških storitvah, ker so storitve trženja namenjene oglaševanju teh rut.
According to the statutes of FGAZ and FZG, the supervisory boards of both entities are entirely constituted by representatives appointed by public authorities, namely the Land and the ZEF.
Čeprav bo navedeni učinek v glavnem koristil le zadevnemu letalskemu prevozniku, lahko ima od njega korist tudi upravljavec letališča.
A representative appointed by the Land is automatically the chairman of both supervisory boards.
Povečanje potniškega prometa lahko pripomore k povečanju prihodkov od nekaterih letaliških pristojbin upravljavca letališča, pa tudi k povečanju prihodkov od neletalskih storitev, zlasti parkirišč, restavracij in drugih poslov.
The supervisory boards appoint FGAZ's and FZG's management.
Zato ni nobenega dvoma, da bi udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu, ki bi namesto družb FGAZ/FZG in zvezne dežele upravljal letališče Zweibrücken, ta pozitiven učinek upošteval pri odločanju o sklenitvi pogodbe o storitvah trženja in ustrezne pogodbe o letaliških storitvah.
For both entities the supervisory boards have to approve all transactions amounting to more than EUR […], which gives them broad control over the economic activities of FGAZ/FZG.
Udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu bi upošteval učinek zadevne rute na prihodnje prihodke in stroške, in sicer bi v tem primeru ocenil število potnikov, ki te rute uporabljajo, s čimer bi se pokazal pozitiven učinek storitev trženja.
Secondly, the minutes of the supervisory board of FGAZ demonstrate that the supervisory board was informed of and consulted on the negotiation and conclusion of contracts with airlines.
Poleg tega bi ta učinek ovrednotil za ves čas obratovanja zadevnih rut, kot je določeno v pogodbi o letaliških storitvah in pogodbi o storitvah trženja.
Most notably, the chairman also suggested that these positive effects — the creation of jobs and economic justification of the airport — could lead to an extension of the P&L Agreement between FGAZ and FZG.
Poleg tega bi bilo priporočljivo ugotoviti, ali bi lahko hipotetični udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu, ki bi letališče upravljal namesto družb FGAZ/FZG in zvezne dežele, razumno pričakoval in količinsko opredelil druge koristi, tj. koristi, ki niso povezane s pozitivnim učinkom na potniški promet na rutah iz pogodbe o storitvah trženja v času obratovanja teh rut, kot je določeno v pogodbi o storitvah trženja ali pogodbi o letaliških storitvah.
Considering that FZG was vitally dependent on the P&L Agreement to cover its operating losses, and that the Land and ZEF had the power not to extend the profit and loss transfer agreement or to discontinue the capital injections that made its operation possible, it is clear that the FGAZ/FZG management had to take the requirements of the public authorities into account if it wanted to ensure its own economic survival.
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair je v svoji študiji zlasti ugotovil, da bodo imele storitve trženja trajnostne pozitivne učinke na potniški promet na letališču tudi po prenehanju pogodbe o storitvah trženja.
The supervisory board minutes of 13 July 2006 also indicate that a military exercise which had taken place at Zweibrücken Airport had led to complaints from the population about the noise.
Najprej je treba opozoriti, da nič ne kaže na to, da bi upravljavec letališča ali zvezna dežela ob sklenitvi pogodbe o storitvah trženja, upoštevala, še manj pa količinsko opredelila, morebitne pozitivne učinke navedene pogodbe na rute, ki niso zajete v pogodbi, ali možnost, da bi se takšni učinki nadaljevali po prenehanju pogodbe.
The management pointed out that the military exercise by the Dutch air force had created significant revenue.
Poleg tega Nemčija ni predlagala nobene metode za oceno morebitne vrednosti, ki bi jo lahko hipotetični udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu, ki upravlja letališče Zweibrücken namesto družb FGAZ/FZG in zvezne dežele, določil za takšne učinke pri odločanju, ali naj leta 2008 sklene pogodbi.
The chairman nevertheless suggested that the management should, in the future, carefully consider whether military exercises should be carried out and should inform the population in time.
Poleg tega trajnostne narave teh učinkov ni mogoče oceniti na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij.
All of the above shows that the public authorities were involved in the day-to-day management decisions of FGAZ/FZG and agreed to them.
Mogoče je, da je oglaševanje letališča Zweibrücken in regije na spletnem mestu letalskega prevoznika Ryanair ljudi, ki so to mesto obiskali, spodbudilo k nakupu letalske karte letalskega prevoznika Ryanair do letališča Zweibrücken, ko je bil oglas prvič objavljen ali kmalu zatem.
The minutes of the supervisory board meeting of 26 June 2009 furthermore suggest that the State, represented by the Land Rhineland-Palatinate, was directly involved in negotiations with airlines.
Vendar je zelo malo verjetno, da je bil učinek oglasa na obiskovalce dolgotrajen ali je vplival na nakup letalskih kart več kot nekaj tednov po njegovi objavi na spletnem mestu letalskega prevoznika Ryanair.
The minutes recount the management's report to the supervisory board, mentioning a meeting between the management, a representative of Rhineland-Palatinate's Ministry of Economics, and Ryanair in London.
Za oglaševalsko kampanjo je verjetneje, da bo imela trajnostni učinek, če promocijske dejavnosti vključujejo enega ali več oglaševalskih medijev, ki so jim potrošniki v določenem obdobju redno izpostavljeni.
During that meeting the relationship between Ryanair and Zweibrücken Airport was discussed.
Oglaševanje na komercialnih televizijskih in radijskih postajah, priljubljenih spletnih mestih in/ali različnih oglaševalskih plakatih na javnih mestih bi lahko na primer imelo trajnostni učinek, če so potrošniki tem medijem redno izpostavljeni.
The active involvement of the Ministry may be deduced, apart from the mere presence of a representative in those commercial negotiations, from the Ministry's representative reminding Ryanair that serving Saarbrücken Airport would be considered an ‘unpleasant act’ by Rhineland-Palatinate's government.
Vendar oglaševanje, omejeno le na spletno mesto letalskega prevoznika Ryanair, najverjetneje ne bo imelo učinka, ki bi trajal precej dlje od samega oglaševanja.
The future of Ryanair's engagement in Zweibrücken was then discussed in the supervisory board, which considered that without a marked improvement in Ryanair's schedule and taking into account the monetary contribution demanded by Ryanair [93], it supported the management's proposal to terminate the relationship.
Zelo verjetno je, da večina ljudi spletnega mesta letalskega prevoznika Ryanair ne obiskuje dovolj pogosto samo zaradi oglasov, da bi si lahko zapomnili oglaševanje zadevne regije na navedenem mestu.
Taking into account the monetary contribution demanded by Ryanair, which would have rendered the approval of a new contract by the supervisory board obligatory, and the early involvement of the public authorities in the negotiations, it is clear that the supervisory board had far-reaching control over the commercial decision of the management.
To trditev podpirata dva dejavnika.
This may be seen as a further indicator that the management had to take the requirements of the public authorities into account in taking decisions, and demonstrates the degree of control and influence exercised by the supervisory board over the commercial decisions of FGAZ/FZG.
Prvič, v skladu s pogoji pogodbe o storitvah trženja je bilo oglaševanje regije Zweibrücken na domači strani spletnega mesta letalskega prevoznika Ryanair omejeno na pet odstavkov in 150 besed pod oddelkom „Pet najboljših predlogov, kaj početi“ na spletni strani letališča Zweibrücken kot destinaciji, na zelo kratkotrajno prisotnost (16 dni) preproste povezave na domačo stran www.ryanair.com, ki vodi na spletno mesto, ki ga je dala na voljo zvezna dežela, in na prisotnost dveh preprostih povezav na spletno stran letališča Zweibrücken kot destinaciji, ki ponovno vodi na spletno mesto, ki ga je dala na voljo zvezna dežela.
In the light of these considerations, the Commission considers that there are sufficient indicators to find that the conclusion of airport service contracts between FGAZ/FZG and the various airlines are imputable to the State.
Učinek oglaševanja bi bil po njegovem prenehanju zaradi vrste oglaševanja (preprosta povezava z omejeno tržno vrednostjo) in njegove kratkotrajnosti zelo omejen, zlasti ker je bilo oglaševanje omejeno samo na spletno mesto družbe Ryanair in ga niso podprli nobeni drugi mediji.
In order to assess whether an agreement between a publically-owned airport and an airline confers an economic advantage on the latter, it is necessary to analyse whether that agreement complied with the MEO principle.
Drugič, veliko dejavnosti trženja iz pogodbe, sklenjene z družbo AMS, je bilo povezanih samo s spletno stranjo o Zweibrücknu kot destinaciji.
In applying the MEO test to an agreement between an airport and an airline, it must be assessed whether, at the date when the agreement was concluded, a prudent market economy operator would have expected the agreement to lead to a higher profit than would have been achieved otherwise.
Tudi če bi storitve trženja v obdobju njihovega izvajanja povečale potniški promet na rutah iz pogodb o storitvah trženja, je zelo verjetno, da tega učinka po navedenem obdobju ni bilo ali pa je bil zanemarljiv in da je bil učinek na druge rute podobno nepomemben.
That higher profit is to be measured by the difference between the incremental revenues expected to be generated by the agreement (that is, the difference between the revenues that would be achieved if the agreement were concluded and the revenues that would be achieved in the absence of the agreement) and the incremental costs expected to be incurred as a result of the contract (that is, the difference between the costs that would be incurred if the agreement were concluded and the costs that would be incurred in the absence of the agreement), the resulting cash flows being discounted with an appropriate discount rate.
Poleg tega je bilo v študijah letalskega prevoznika Ryanair z dne 17. in 31. januarja 2014 ugotovljeno, da je verjetnost, da se bodo te koristi razširile na rute, ki niso zajete v pogodbah o storitvah trženja, ali da bodo trajale po prenehanju obratovanja teh rut, kot je določeno v pogodbi o storitvah trženja in pogodbi o letaliških storitvah, izredno majhna in je ni mogoče zanesljivo količinsko opredeliti toliko, da bi to zadoščalo preudarnemu udeležencu v tržnem gospodarstvu.
In this analysis, all the relevant incremental revenues and costs associated with the agreement must be taken into account.
V skladu s študijo z dne 17. januarja 2014 je na primer „prihodnji dodatni dobiček po načrtovanem prenehanju veljavnosti pogodbe o letaliških storitvah sam po sebi negotov“.
The various elements (discounts to airport charges, marketing grants, other financial incentives) must not be assessed separately.
Poleg tega sta v navedeni študiji predlagani dve metodi predhodnega ocenjevanja pozitivnih učinkov pogodb o storitvah trženja:
Indeed, as stated in the Charleroi judgment:
metoda na podlagi denarnega toka in metoda na podlagi kapitalizacije.
‘It is (…) necessary, when applying the private investor test, to envisage the commercial transaction as a whole in order to determine whether the public entity and the entity which is controlled by it, taken together, have acted as rational operators in a market economy.
Metoda na podlagi denarnega toka obsega vrednotenje koristi pogodb o storitvah trženja in pogodb o letaliških storitvah z ocenjevanjem prihodnjih prihodkov, ki bi jih upravljavec letališča lahko ustvaril prek pogodbe o storitvah trženja in pogodbe o letaliških storitvah, brez ustreznih stroškov.
The Commission must, when assessing the measures at issue, examine all the relevant features of the measures and their context […]’ [94].
Pri metodi na podlagi kapitalizacije se izboljšana podoba znamke letališča prek tržnih storitev obravnava kot nematerialno premoženje, pridobljeno za ceno, določeno v pogodbi o storitvah trženja.
The expected incremental revenues must include in particular the revenues from airport charges, taking into account the discounts as well as the traffic expected to be generated by the agreement and the non-aeronautical revenues expected to be generated by the additional traffic.
Vendar študija izpostavlja velike težave, ki jih povzroča pristop na podlagi kapitalizacije, in kaže, da so lahko rezultati, pridobljeni s to metodo, nezanesljivi.
The expected incremental costs must include in particular all the incremental operating and investment costs that would not be incurred in the absence of the agreement as well as the costs of the marketing grants and other financial incentives.
Zato naj bi bil pristop na podlagi denarnega toka boljši.
The Commission also notes in this context that price differentiation (including marketing support and other incentives) is a standard business practice.
V študiji je zlasti ugotovljeno:
Such differentiated pricing policies should, however, be commercially justified [95].
„V pristopu na podlagi kapitalizacije bi se moral upoštevati samo delež izdatkov za trženje, ki se ga lahko pripiše nematerialnemu premoženju letališča.
