DSW21 declared that its task was to manage and operate the infrastructure of the city of Dortmund, therefore the operation of the airport is part of its tasks.
Navedel je še, da družba FD ni konkurirala bližnjim letališčem Düsseldorf (ki niti ne bi imelo več zmogljivosti za EasyJet), Münster/Osnabrück in Paderborn/Lippstadt (na katerih nizkocenovni letalski prevozniki niso delovali).
The aim of the expansion of the airport was to accompany the structural transition of the region from the coal and steel industry to a modern, service based economy.
PRIPOMBE ZASEBNIKOV
DSW21 stated that it supported the decision of the airport to introduce NERES.
Zasebniki so prav tako predložili pripombe v postopku glede državne pomoči v zvezi z letališčem Dortmund in programom NERES.
According to DSW21, NERES was the best alternative to improve the profitability and growth of the airport.
Trdili so, da noben udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu ne bi sprejel ukrepov, ki so bili sprejeti na letališču Dortmund, ker se gospodarski položaj dejansko ni izboljšal.
Other strategies, such as closure or a different positioning on the market were economically less advantageous.
Nadalje so navedli, da je bil predloženi preskus udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu pomanjkljiv, ker je zmotno štel letališče Dortmund za mednarodno letališče in ker letališče ni bilo toliko oddaljeno od mesta, kot je bilo navedeno v preskusu.
DSW21 stated that the success of NERES could be seen from the increased number of routes, the number of airlines and a better economic situation at the airport than it would have been without NERES.
Ocenili so tudi, da je financiranje pokrivalo več kot le stroške dejavnosti na področju javne politike, kot so gasilske in reševalne službe.
THE CITY OF DORTMUND
Nadalje so trdili, da je bila državna pomoč dodeljena prek mesta Dortmund, ki je dodeljevalo državna poroštva za posojila.
The city of Dortmund stated that it was not involved directly or indirectly in the decision-making process that led to the introduction of NERES.
Poleg tega so zasebniki zavrnili trditev, da upravni odbor ni sodeloval v pripravi programa NERES.
The city of Dortmund explained also that since the signature of the 1991 PLTA, FD was integrated into the DSW21, whose management organs and supervisory board consist of representatives of the city of Dortmund [25], which are bound by the decision and instructions of the city council.
Kot dokaz o nasprotnem so navedli zapisnik sestanka, na katerem je uprava predložila program NERES nadzornemu svetu.
Moreover, representatives of the city have to act in the interests of the city [26].
SKLEP O ZAČETKU POSTOPKA IZ LETA 2012
The city of Dortmund claimed that the airport is pursuing a task of general economic interest.
DRUŽBI DSW21 IN FD
According to a study prepared by the University of Münster/Osnabrück in 2006, 1550 persons were employed at the airport by FD and by about 70 other companies.
Pripombe družb DSW21 in FD so bile v celoti skladne s pripombami Nemčije.
The indirect employment created by the investments of these companies amounted to 2100 employees and the induced employment created by the consumption of these companies amounted to 630 employees.
Poleg tega sta navedli, da bi udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu prav tako sklenil pogodbo o prenosu dobička in izgube iz leta 1991, zlasti ob upoštevanju stroškov zaprtja letališča.
Moreover, the city of Dortmund stated that the airport is important for the tourism industry of the region as well as for the region's competitiveness, in particular for modern Europe-wide service providers.
EasyJet je navedel, da je program NEO skladen z načelom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu in zato ne pomeni državne pomoči.
EasyJet stated that the 2005 Aviation Guidelines were not applicable because NERES had been already set up in 2004 when the guidelines were not yet adopted and published.
Po njegovem mnenju je bila z gospodarskega vidika uvedba programa NEO najbolj izvedljiva rešitev za upravljavca letališča Dortmund.
Therefore, in EasyJet's opinion, the Commission has to take a decision on the basis of its previous decisions, such as in the case Ryanair/Charleroi.
EasyJet je nadalje navedel, da sheme spodbud, ki tako kot v obravnavanem primeru temeljijo na rasti potniškega prometa, pomagajo letališčem doseči ekonomijo obsega.
EasyJet also noted that NERES met the requirements of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty and was therefore compatible with the common market.
Navedel je, da so bile podobne sheme spodbud uvedene na Švedskem, na primer na letališčih Stockholm-Arlanda, Stockholm-Bromma in Göteborg Landvetter.
Furthermore, EasyJet stated that it did not benefit from the lower charges, since it left the airport before reaching profitability.
Poudaril je, da bi morala v skladu s smernicami za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 preiskava v zvezi s programom NEO zadevati izključno vprašanje, ali bi upravljavec letališča, usmerjen v ustvarjanje dobičkov, ponudil enake pogoje.
EasyJet pointed out that its business model did not rely on exploiting favourable deals, but that instead, it was willing to commit and share risks with the airport, which is supported by the fact that EasyJet never closed a base since 1995.
Nadalje je navedel, da je bila predhodna ocena donosnosti na podlagi dobrih srednjeročnih obetov programa NEO predložena v poslovnem načrtu in v primerjavi različnih scenarijev ter da bi bil zato preskus udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu opravljen.
In EasyJet's opinion, NERES would also have been conceived and applied by a MEO.
EasyJet je poudaril, da bi moral biti preskus udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu osredotočen samo na dodatne stroške in prihodke.
EasyJet stated that with NERES the number of flights increased again between 2002 and 2004.
Opozoril je še, da je mogoče pri sklepanju posamezne pogodbe z letalskim prevoznikom ali uvajanju splošne sheme letaliških pristojbin dodatne stroške pokriti z razumno stopnjo dobička na podlagi dobrih srednjeročnih obetov.
EasyJet pointed out that a MEO does not have to choose the most profitable investment in the short term, nor does he have to achieve profits in the short term.
V zvezi s tem je EasyJet navedel, da je družba FD v poslovnem načrtu za program NEO upoštevala stroške, ki presegajo dodatne stroške.
According to the airline, if an existing investment would pay off later, the investor would be more tempted to accept temporary lower returns, as was the case in Dortmund.
Skladno s tem je sklenil, da bi bila donosnost programa NEO še višja, če bi se ti stroški izključili iz ocene donosnosti.
EasyJet pointed out examples of airports, such as Liverpool, Glasgow Prestwick or London Stansted, where private capital and not State resources were involved, and incentives were used to increase the numbers of passengers and improve the profitability.
Poleg tega je menil, da bi bilo treba pri izvajanju preskusa udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu upoštevati tudi stroške, povezane z nalogami s področja javne politike, in stroške, povezane s preteklimi naložbami.
In its submission of 6 May 2014, EasyJet emphasised that the 2014 Aviation Guidelines clarified that only incremental costs have to be considered for the purpose of the MEO test.
EasyJet je navedel še, da so bile znižane stopnje v okviru programa NEO dostopne vsem letalskim prevoznikom, ki so delovali na letališču.
EasyJet claimed that this demanded an ex ante profitability analysis on the basis of sound medium-term prospects, which FD had carried out in the market studies concerning the two scenarios for future development, that is to say introducing NERES and keeping the pre-existing schedule of charges without NERES.
Posamezne pogodbe med letalskim prevoznikom EasyJet in letališčem niso presegale področja uporabe programa NEO.
According to these scenarios, non-aviation revenues would have been higher, if NERES were applied.
Germanwings je pojasnil, da so njegove končne pristojbine, vključno s pristojbinami na odhajajočega potnika in pristojbinami za storitve zemeljske oskrbe, znašale povprečno med […] in […] EUR na odhajajočega potnika.
According to EasyJet, FD took into account costs which go beyond the incremental costs in its initial business plan for NERES.
Poleg tega je Germanwings izjavil, da bi bile pristojbine, ki se plačujejo na nizkocenovnih letališčih, upoštevni trg za primerjavo pristojbin.
EasyJet pointed out that the airport charges together with the non-aeronautical revenues were capable of covering all costs stemming from the arrangements between airlines and the airport, with a reasonable profit margin on the basis of sound medium-term prospects.
Nadalje je pojasnil, da se pristojbine na letališču Dortmund ne bi razlikovale od pristojbin na letališčih Gradec ali Maastricht.
Therefore, according to EasyJet, NERES was likely to cause a substantial increase in passenger numbers, and hence, also in non-aviation revenues.
Germanwings je še izjavil, da bi moral udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu prav tako sprejeti izgube vsaj v prvih letih novega projekta.
EasyJet pointed out furthermore that the predicted increase of passengers by 2014 was realistic because experience showed that in the years between 2004 and 2007 the airport's passenger numbers increased significantly due to the introduction of NERES.
Wizz Air je navedel, da je program NEO skladen z načelom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu in da ne pomeni državne pomoči.
Table 21
Zlasti se je strinjal, da je bil program NEO gospodarnejši kot zaprtje letališča.
Increase of passengers since the introduction of NERES (provided by EasyJet)
Po njegovem mnenju bi morala Komisija v zvezi z zaprtjem letališča upoštevati visoke stroške zaprtja, ki bi jih imelo mesto Dortmund.
Total passenger numbers
Wizz Air je trdil, da je treba tržno skladnost letaliških pristojbin primerjati s pristojbinami, ki jih plačujejo nizkocenovni letalski prevozniki na različnih evropskih regionalnih letališčih, ker nizkocenovni letalski prevoznik ne izbere svojih destinacij na podlagi „enega gravitacijskega območja“, temveč po vsej Evropi.
EasyJet's passenger numbers
Wizz Air je nazadnje menil, da je bil njegov dogovor z družbo FD prav tako trgu primerno ravnanje, ker je dodatno donosen za letališče.
Approx.
Taka ocena bi morala obravnavati mrežne učinke.
The series of circumstances that occurred since 2008, namely the raise of oil prices, the financial crisis and the local authorities refusing night flights, could not have been foreseen.
Ta letališča so domnevno podobna letališču Dortmund glede obsega prometa, vrste prometa na letališču in gravitacijskega območja.
EasyJet stated that these were the reasons why it had to reduce its operations despite the initial optimism.
Po navedbah družbe Oxera so ta letališča v zasebni lasti.
However, EasyJet argued that these circumstances could not have been predicted, and therefore, a MEO with the knowledge of 2004 would have had no reason to be less optimistic than the airport had been regarding the passenger traffic growth perspectives.
Prejela so javno financiranje, ki pa je bilo razmeroma majhno v primerjavi z njihovim celotnim osnovnim premoženjem.
Considering the sensitivity of low-cost passengers to an increase of parking charges, EasyJet disagreed with the Commission's doubts.
Družba Oxera je navedla, da so pristojbine, ki jih plačuje Wizz Air na letališču Dortmund, povprečno precej višje od tistih, ki jih plačuje na letališčih, uporabljenih za primerjavo, če se upošteva državna pristojbina za varnost.
According to EasyJet there would be no reason to consider that a passenger who saves on the price of a plane ticket is so sensitive about moderate increases in parking charges that he will automatically start travelling only by public transportation means.
Nadalje je navedla, da so pristojbine (brez pristojbine za varnost), ki jih plačuje Wizz Air, primerljive z ravnmi letaliških pristojbin, ki se plačujejo na letališčih, uporabljenih za primerjavo.
Finally, EasyJet stated that in light of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the focus should be on whether the airport charges and the related additional non-aviation revenues generated due to the application of NERES were sufficient to cover the incremental costs with a reasonable profit margin.
Zato je sklenila, da je Wizz Air na letališču Dortmund plačeval tržno ceno in da je dogovor med letališčem in letalskim prevoznikom skladen z načelom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
Therefore, costs falling within the public policy remit should be excluded and the relevant time frame for the calculation should be 10 years.
V analizo je vključila dodatne prihodke iz letalskih in neletalskih dejavnosti ter dodatne stroške na potnika.
EasyJet concludes that the NERES incentives would satisfy the conditions of the MEO principle.
Družba Oxera je upoštevala prihodke iz letalskih dejavnosti, ki izhajajo iz letaliških pristojbin brez zadevnih popustov na podlagi naslednjih pogodb, sklenjenih med letalskim prevoznikom Wizz Air in družbo FD:
DISTRICT OF PADERBORN
pogodba o letaliških storitvah, sklenjena med družbo FD in letalskim prevoznikom Wizz Air, z dne 1. julija 2009: v njej so navedene letališke storitve, ki jih plačuje Wizz Air.
Together with Soest, which now is the district of Lippstadt, the district of Paderborn established the Paderborn/Lippstadt airport.
Pristojbine so vključevale […] pristojbine na odhajajočega potnika, pristojbino za […] na odhajajočega potnika ([…] pristojbine), […] pristojbine na odhajajočega potnika, […] na odhajajočega potnika in […] pristojbine na odhajajočega potnika;
In its comment the district of Paderborn mainly concentrated on the fact that Dortmund airport distorted competition by being only 95 km away from the Paderborn/Lippstadt airport.
standardni sporazum o zemeljski oskrbi z dne 1. julija 2009: v njem so določene pristojbina za oskrbo (ki je že vključena v pogodbo o letaliških storitvah) in storitve zemeljske oskrbe;
It is claimed that Paderborn/Lippstadt airport is the only German regional airport with a positive balance sheet and making profit, but is suffering from the fact that Dortmund airport and Kassel Calden airport are being financed mainly through State aid.
spremni dopis za letališke pristojbine in pristojbine za storitve zemeljske oskrbe z dne 1. julija 2009: v njem so navedene […] pristojbine na odhajajočega potnika; […];
The District of Paderborn furthermore claimed that the take-off airport charges and the charges for ground handling services covered only […] % of FD's costs.
pogodba o dodatnih letih in podpori za trženje z dne 10. decembra 2009: družba FD in Wizz Air sta se dogovorila, da FD s prispevkom za trženje sofinancira dodatne lete;
Air France argued that NERES was discriminatory in favour of low-cost airlines and that the measures were not limited.
spremni dopis za zimsko denarno podporo z dne 1. julija 2010: zadeva denarno podporo letalskemu prevozniku Wizz Air na podlagi […]-odstotnega letnega povečanja števila potnikov v zimski sezoni 2010;
Air France claimed that since NERES benefits routes which are similar and in competition to the neighbouring Düsseldorf Airport (such as Alicante, Barcelona, Budapest, London, Malaga, Nice, Palma, Prague, Rome, Thessalonica), it cannot be deemed compatible with the internal market as start-up aid for development of new routes.
sistem spodbud za razvoj potniškega prometa (seznam 6) z dne 1. oktobra 2010: določen je popust za vsakega potnika med 1. oktobrom 2010 in 30. septembrom 2011, ki presega število odhajajočih potnikov […], in povečanje […] pristojbine v istem obdobju;
THE ASSOCIATION OF EUROPEAN AIRLINES
spremni dopis za letališke pristojbine z dne 6. junija 2011: navedeno je, da družba FD letalskemu prevozniku Wizz Air plača razliko med […].
According to the Association of European Airlines, it seemed that NERES favoured specific airlines and low-cost business models and that the scheme did not meet the conditions for granting start-up aid.
Sistem spodbud iz točke (f) je prenehal 31. maja 2011;
INDUSTRIE- UND HANDELSKAMMER ZU DORTMUND (‘IHK’)
sprememba pogodbe o letaliških storitvah z dne 1. oktobra 2011: spremenjene so nekatere pristojbine, vendar to ne vpliva na zgoraj opredeljeno pavšalno pristojbino.
The IHK emphasised the necessity to introduce low-cost airlines at Dortmund airport since the region had to focus on aviation business after the structural change from steel to service industry.
Družba Oxera je ocenila prihodke iz neletalskih dejavnosti (na primer v zvezi s parkirninami, najemom avtomobilov in drugimi najemi, povezanimi s prenovo) na podlagi poslovnega načrta, ki ga je predložila družba FD.
According to the IHK, difficulties arose only when Lufthansa became a shareholder of Eurowings AG and changed flight routes from Dortmund airport, which therefore lost its main customer.
Družba Oxera je na podlagi poslovnega načrta družbe FD v analizo vključila dodatne stroške trženja, spodbude in denarne podpore, ki izhajajo iz pogodb, naštetih v točkah od (a) do (h) uvodne izjave 151.
The IHK claimed that Dortmund airport was the only airport specialised in low-cost traffic in the region surrounding the city of Dortmund and that its charges were not unusually low in this segment.
Poleg tega je vključila oceno dodatnih stroškov, vsebovanih v poslovnem načrtu letališča, kot so stroški zaposlenih, materiala in drugi stroški poslovanja, ki niso značilni za letalski prevoznik Wizz Air.
So according to the IHK, in this region NERES did not affect competition.
Družba Oxera je navedla, da je bila za oceno splošnih stroškov, ki presegajo pogodbo, opravljena regresijska analiza.
IHK also argued that the 1991 PLTA between FD and DSW21 was legitimate because during the structural change in the region, the development of the airport had positive effects on economy and population.
Trdila je, da bi bilo na tej podlagi mogoče določiti, kateri del stroškov je fiksen in kateri se spreminja glede na obseg potniškega prometa.
Therefore, the 1991 PLTA served the general economic interest of the region.
Ocenila je, da se naslednji stroški spreminjajo glede na število potnikov:
(‘VVW’)
stroški zaposlenih se z vsakim dodatnim odhajajočim potnikom povišajo za približno […] EUR;
According to VVW, a MEO would also have decided for the investments at Dortmund airport because the period of initial losses was expected and acceptable in the context of managing airport infrastructure.
stroški materiala se z vsakim dodatnim odhajajočim potnikom povišajo za približno […] EUR;
Furthermore, VVW argued that because at the time of the investment decision it was commonly accepted that financing of airport infrastructure does not constitute State aid, the possible aid could not be considered to be unlawful.
drugi stroški poslovanja [27] se z vsakim dodatnim odhajajočim potnikom povišajo za približno […] EUR.
VVW furthermore stated that FD was not competing with the surrounding airports Düsseldorf (which would not even have any more capacities for EasyJet), Münster/Osnabrück and Paderborn/Lippstadt (which both did not serve low-cost airlines).
To so povprečni stroški za celotno letališče in vse letalske prevoznike ter jih je družba Oxera pozneje pripisala letalskemu prevozniku Wizz Air na podlagi njegovega deleža odhajajočih potnikov.
So according to VVW, the internal market was not affected by NERES.
Družba Oxera je nadalje ocenila dodatne stroške naložb na podlagi programa naložb za obdobje 2009–2019 ter dejanskih naložb v obdobju 2004–2008, ko je letalski prevoznik Wizz Air tudi deloval na letališču Dortmund.
COMMENTS FROM PRIVATE PARTIES
Naložbe pred prihodom letalskega prevoznika Wizz Air na letališče so se štele za nepovratne stroške in zato ne presegajo pogodbe.
Private parties also submitted comments in the State aid procedure concerning Dortmund airport and NERES.
Po navedbah družbe Oxera stroškov naložbe ni mogoče pripisati strankam v letu naložb, temveč jih je treba razporediti skozi življenjsko dobo naložbe.
They claimed that no MEO would adopt the measures taken at Dortmund airport because in fact the economic situation did not improve.
Zato je družba Oxera upoštevala letne stroške amortizacije in stroške financiranja zadevne naložbe.
They further stated that the submitted MEO test was deficient because it erroneously considered Dortmund airport as an international airport and the airport was not located as far from the city as the test claimed.
Celotni letni stroški novih naložb so bili dodeljeni glede na delež potnikov letalskega prevoznika Wizz Air v zmogljivosti letališča, ki po navedbah družbe FD znaša 2,5 milijona potnikov.
These private parties also estimated that the financing covered more than the costs of public policy remit activities, such as fire protection and rescue services.
Po mnenju družbe Oxera je to zelo konzervativna ocena, saj vse načrtovane naložbe niso bile povečane zaradi navzočnosti letalskega prevoznika Wizz Air, na primer podaljšanje vzletno-pristajalne steze, ki je bilo prvotno načrtovano za leto 2014.
Furthermore, the private parties argued that State aid was given through the city of Dortmund granting State guarantees for loans.
Preglednica 22
Furthermore, the private parties dismissed the argument that the board of directors did not take part in developing NERES.
Pričakovani dodatni prihodki in stroški zaradi navzočnosti letalskega prevoznika Wizz Air (v milijonih EUR)
As proof of the opposite, they provided minutes of a meeting during which the management submitted NERES to the supervisory board.
Vir: Oxera na podlagi podatkov, ki jih je predložila družba FD.
THE 2012 OPENING DECISION
Opomba: Številke za leti 2009 in 2014 so sorazmerne s trajanjem pogodb.
DSW21 AND FD
Prihodki iz letalskih dejavnosti
The comments of DSW21 and FD were fully in line with the comments of Germany.
Prihodki iz neletalskih dejavnosti
In addition, DSW21 and FD stated that a MEO would also have concluded the 1991 PLTA, taking into consideration in particular the costs for closing down the airport.
Dodatni stroški poslovanja
EasyJet stated that NEO is in line with the MEO principle and thus does not constitute State aid.
Dodatni stroški naložb
In EasyJet's opinion, from an economic perspective the introduction of NEO was the most feasible way forward for the operator of Dortmund airport.
Enkratna podpora za trženje
EasyJet stated further that incentive schemes based on the growth of passenger volume as in the present case help airports in achieving economies of scale.
Dodaten prispevek k donosnosti
EasyJet states that similar incentive schemes were introduced in Sweden, for example at Stockholm-Arlanda, Stockholm-Bromma and Göteborg Landvetter.
Družba Oxera je izračunala dodatni prispevek zaradi navzočnosti letalskega prevoznika Wizz Air kot razliko med dodatnimi prihodki in dodatnimi stroški.
EasyJet emphasised that according to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the investigation regarding NEO should exclusively concern the question whether the same conditions would have been offered by a profit-driven airport operator.
Nazadnje je sklenila, da so pogodbe, sklenjene med letalskim prevoznikom Wizz Air in družbo FD, ter program NEO s predhodnega vidika prispevali k donosnosti letališča.
EasyJet stated further that the ex ante profitability assessment on the basis of sound medium-term prospects of NEO is provided in the business plan and in the comparison of the different scenarios, and that therefore the MEO test would be satisfied.
Družba Oxera je navedla, da je bila v obdobju trajanja pogodb (2009–2014) dosežena pozitivna ocenjena neto sedanja vrednost približno [300000–400000] EUR, zato bi bil zasebni vlagatelj pripravljen skleniti podobne pogodbe z letalskim prevoznikom Wizz Air.
EasyJet stressed that the MEO test should only focus on incremental costs and revenues.
Okrožje Paderborn, ki je lastnik letališča Paderborn, je navedlo, da možnost iz smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014, da se letališčem, ki poslujejo z izgubo, še deset let zagotavlja dodatna pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, tem letališčem daje neupravičeno prednost v primerjavi z donosnimi letališči.
EasyJet also pointed out that, when setting up an individual contract with an airline or an overall scheme of airport charges, it is possible to cover the incremental costs with a reasonable profit margin on the basis of sound medium-term prospects.
