Without this aid, VTAN would have recorded a significant operating deficit and the airport’s activity would have needed to have been considerably reduced, if not completely halted.
Dopis Francije z dne 25. aprila 2014.
The flat-rate contribution, as originally determined, was calculated based on a provisional budget drawn up by Veolia Transport.
Prosti prevod angleškega izvirnika: „[…] including greater prominence and a stronger brand, alongside network externalities and repeat passenger“.
According to this budget, in the ‘reference scenario’ the flat-rate contribution of EUR [1,2-1,5] million would allow VTAN to achieve net margins [of 0-5 % on average] throughout the term of the public service delegation.
ruti v Liverpool, na kateri so se tedaj prav tako opravljali leti.
At the SMAN’s invitation, Veolia Transport also included a ‘downturn scenario’ corresponding to a reduction in activity, whereby the flat-rate contribution would drop to EUR [1,0-1,3] million.
Francija je pojasnila, da ta ruta med letoma 2005 in 2012 ni bila ukinjena, temveč je bila ta ruta vedno sezonska.
In this scenario, VTAN would achieve net margins [of 0-5 % on average] throughout the term of the public service delegation.
Francija poudarja, da ta ruta ni navedena v pogodbi o tržnih storitvah z dne 27. avgusta 2008, ker naj bi bil njen položaj negotov (tedaj je bila predvidena njena začasna ukinitev), čeprav so se leti na njej opravljali še naprej od leta 2008 do 2011, vendar je bila njihova pogostost manjša.
In the light of this information, the net margins expected by Veolia Transport seem reasonable, and the downturn scenario was included so that these margins would not unduly increase if there were a reduction in activity.
Pogodba o tržnih storitvah iz leta 2008 tako torej ni določala nakupa storitve na spletnem mestu družbe Ryanair za navedeno ruto.
The flat-rate contribution was therefore initially designed to be limited to the minimum necessary to ensure the financial stability of the airport and a reasonable profit for VTAN.
Ta je bila med letoma 2008 in 2010 zagotovljena brez tržne protistoritve.
Its subsequent amendments followed this logic.
Glej opombo 42.
As a result, the increase in the flat-rate contribution made by Amendment No 1 corresponded to the unforeseen loss of revenue that had initially been taken into account by Veolia Transport in its previous estimates, whilst the increase resulting from Amendment No 3 corresponded to additional marketing expenditure incurred by VTAN that was not anticipated at the start.
Dopis Francije z dne 26. maja 2014.
Moreover, VTAN’s profit and loss accounts observed ex post show that the flat-rate contribution did not exceed the minimum necessary, in that it did not lead to VTAN recording excessive profits.

In fact, according to Table 6 in the opening decision, VTAN’s net margin was actually negative throughout the 2007-2010 period.

The specific public contribution implemented by Amendment No 4 to the CDSP was calculated based on a provisional budget reflecting VTAN’s new operating costs following the closure of the airbase.

It was also stipulated that its amount would be readjusted ex post according to the results achieved, in order to avoid overpayments.

As a result, the operating aid received by VTAN had an incentive effect and was limited to the minimum necessary.

Assessment of distortions of competition and effects on trade
I-4397, točki 52 in 58.
According to the new Guidelines, when assessing the compatibility of operating aid granted before 4 April 2014, the Commission will take account of the distortions of competition and the effects on trade.
Conseil d’État, mnenje št. 351.654 z dne 16. junija 1992.
Aid granted to a Union airport can potentially have a negative effect on all Union airports.
Sodba v združenih zadevah Chronopost proti Ufex, C-83/01 P in C-93/01 P, Recueil 2003, str.
In fact, all Union airports are in competition with each other to attract airlines, in the context of the intra-Union internal air transport market.
I-6993, točki 38 in 40.
In the case of operating aid allowing the airport to remain economically viable, the intensity of this general effect on other airports depends on the volume of activity of the aided airport, which can be expressed in particular by number of passengers, routes and frequencies.
Družba Ryanair navaja, da je mogoče letališče Nîmes utemeljeno primerjati z letališči […], […], […], […] in […].
It should be noted in this regard that, during the period in question (2002-2011), Nîmes airport remained a small airport.
To naj bi pomenilo, da bi lahko posamezno letališče zmanjšalo tveganje, ki zanj izhaja iz ciklične narave, in okrepilo denarne tokove ter tako znižalo stopnjo donosa, ki bi jo zahteval običajni zasebni vlagatelj.
Its traffic peaked at 320000 passengers in 2001, with between 130000 and 300000 passengers per year in all the other years.
Člen 3 pogodb z dne 10. oktobra 2005, 1. novembra 2007 in 27. avgusta 2008.
During this same period, the scheduled services offered from this airport were limited to Air Littoral’s Paris route, which was only operated until 2003, and those routes operated by Ryanair (a maximum of four at the same time), with one flight per day or less, except potentially in the summer when two flights per day may have been available on certain routes, depending on the year.
Družba Ryanair navaja, da je bila navedena pomoč porabljena za odpravo izgub, izhajajočih iz starih transakcij z družbama Air Liberté in Air Littoral, ki sta postali plačilno nesposobni, letališču pa sta dolgovali visoke zneske, ali pa je bila porabljena v korist nekdanjega upravljavca parkirišč na letališču.
Nîmes airport’s volume of activity therefore remained modest.
Odločba Komisije 2004/393/ES z dne 12. februarja 2004 o ugodnostih, ki sta jih regija Valonija in letališče Brussels South Charleroi Airport priznavala letalskemu prevozniku Ryanair ob njegovi uvedbi v Charleroiju (UL L 137, 30.4.2004, str. 1).
The general effect of the aid granted to this airport on all the other airports was therefore relatively limited.
Družba Oxera, „Are prices set by AMS in line with the market rate?“ (Ali so cene družbe AMS skladu s tržno stopnjo?) “, pripravljeno za družbo Ryanair, 20. december 2013.
However, the effects of operating aid granted to a given airport on another airport increase if the two airports are close to each other.
Družba Oxera, „How should AMS agreements be treated within the profitability analysis as part of the market economy operator test?“ (Kako naj bi se sporazumi z družbo AMS obravnavali v okviru analize donosnosti pri preskusu udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu?), pripravljeno za družbo Ryanair, 17. januar 2014.
In particular, when one of the airports is located within the catchment area of the other, the competition between them to attract airlines wanting to serve the region in question is especially intense.

Moreover, when there are routes from each of these two airports to the same destination, these airports are in competition to attract passengers wanting to travel to this destination, who have a choice between the two airports for this journey.
Okrožnica št. 111 z dne 30. marca 1992 o določitvi proračunskih, računovodskih in finančnih pravil, ki veljajo za združenje francoskih gospodarskih zbornic (Assemblée des chambres françaises de commerce et d’industrie, ACFCI), regionalno komisijo za medobčinsko sodelovanje (Commission régionale de la coopération intercommunale, CRCI), zbornico in medministrsko skupino za nadzor (Groupement interministériel de contrôle, GIC).
Avignon airport lies 68 km from Nîmes airport, but its runway constraints mean that it can only handle private and business flights.
V tem sklepu „pogodbe“ pomenijo različne zadevne dogovore ne glede na njihovo pravno obliko (vključno z aneksi, „side letters“ itd.)
It is not therefore in competition with Nîmes airport for scheduled flights.
Komisija poudarja, da je bila prva od teh pogodb sklenjena 11. aprila 2000 (1. pogodba med družbo Ryanair in zbornico), Komisija pa je preiskavo začela z dopisom z dne 16. marca 2010, ki se je med drugim nanašal na ta ukrep.
As regards Marseille airport, this is 115 km away, which is 1 hour and 15 minutes’ journey by road.
Iz tega sledi, da je bil zastaralni rok iz člena 15 Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 z dne 22. marca 1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 108 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije (UL L 83, 27.3.1999, str. 1) prekinjen pred iztekom.
It is therefore too far away to suffer too much impact from the aid in question.
Odgovor na zahtevo za informacije z dne 23. decembra 2013.
As indicated previously, Montpellier airport is situated just 63 km from Nîmes airport, which represents a journey time of only 49 minutes by road.
Glej na primer sodbo v zadevi Italija proti Komisiji, C-303/88, Recueil, str.
In so far as the Commission considers that a distance of less than 100 km and a journey time of less than one hour are criteria allowing the catchment area of an airport to be defined as a first approximation, Montpellier airport is a priori situated within the catchment area of Nîmes airport.
I-1433, točka 11, in sodbo v zadevi Compagnie Nationale Air France proti Komisiji, T-358/94, Recueil, str.
Moreover, certain routes operated from Montpellier have the same destination as certain routes from Nîmes airport.
II-2109, točke od 58 do 61.
In this respect, France considers that the catchment area of an airport is defined using two criteria, namely: (i) length of the journey; and (ii) cost of the journey for airports dominated by low-cost traffic, such as Nîmes airport.
Sodba v zadevi Stardust Marine, točka 52.
As a result, France considers that a regional airport’s catchment area is limited to those airports that can be reached by car within a maximum of 60 minutes.
Direktiva Komisije 2000/52/ES z dne 26. julija 2000 o spremembah Direktive 80/723/EGS o preglednosti finančnih odnosov med državami članicami in javnimi podjetji (UL L 193, 29.7.2000, str. 75).
According to France, ‘Lastly, as regards Montpellier airport, although the above information tends to place it in the same catchment area as Nîmes airport due to the journey time of less than 60 minutes and the cost of the return journey not exceeding EUR 20, it should, however, be stressed that the Ryanair routes from Montpellier airport, which currently number four, meet a tourist demand that is situated more to the west than to the east of the airport (the route to Hahn is an example of this, even though Ryanair has withdrawn its routes to Germany from Marseille) and that Nîmes airport covers a different catchment area from part of Montpellier airport’s catchment area (in particular the Cévennes, Uzège and the northeast of Gard/south of the Ardèche in the Rhône valley).
Glej Odločbo Komisije z dne 22. junija 2006 v zadevi N 563/2005 – Francija – Pomoč prevozniku Ryanair za ruto Toulon–London, točka 16.
It therefore has a particular catchment area.
Pripombe upravljavcev k sklepu o začetku postopka, str. 5.
It should also be noted that 51 % of low-cost passengers travel less than 50 km from their airport’.
Podredno Komisija poudarja, da za namene uporabe pravil o državnih pomočeh ni treba razlikovati med zbornico in njeno posebno službo, ki upravlja navedeno letališče, saj ta služba, ki upravlja letališče Nîmes, nima lastne pravne osebnosti, ločene od zbornice, in je zgolj člen v verigi notranjih služb zbornice, ki se ne odloča neodvisno, razen v zvezi z vsakodnevnim upravljanjem letališča.
These factors are indeed likely to mitigate the impact on Montpellier airport of the operating aid received by Nîmes airport.
Tako je sporazum z dne 11. aprila 2000, pogodbe o letaliških storitvah in pogodbe o tržnih storitvah z dne 10. oktobra 2005 ter spremembo z dne 30. januarja 2006 podpisal predsednik zbornice.
Added to this is the fact that, throughout the period in question, Montpellier airport handled much more traffic than Nîmes airport.
Ni pa podpisal izmenjanih dopisov iz obdobja od konca leta 2001 do začetka leta 2002 in iz leta 2004, s katerimi so bile uvedene spremembe k sporazumu z dne 11. aprila 2000.
In fact, its traffic fluctuated between 1,2 million and 1,6 million passengers per year.
Vendar je Francija navedla: „Lahko torej ugotovimo, da pogodbe in aneksi z družbo Ryanair spadajo med pristojnosti upravljanja industrijskih in komercialnih storitev, podeljene predsedniku […]“ (ogovor na zahtevo za informacije z dne 20. marca 2014).
The aid received by Nîmes airport, which is around six times smaller, could have had, at most, only a limited impact on Montpellier airport.
Poleg tega niti Francija niti tretje strani niso trdile, da bi bilo treba ukrepe, zajete v formalnem postopku preiskave, pripisati izključno tej službi.
Lastly, the journey time between the two airports, which is less than one hour but almost 50 minutes, is also a factor likely to mitigate the impact of the aid in question on Montpellier airport.
Člen 1 SPOJS.
As a result, the operating aid in question had a limited impact on the airports neighbouring Nîmes airport.

Taking into account all these positive and negative effects of the aid in question, the Commission takes the view that this aid did not affect trade to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Pripombe upravljavcev z dne 24. septembra 2012 k sklepu o začetku postopka, odstavka 39 in 40.
In the light of the information set out above regarding the impact of the aid in question on competition and trade, and given the important contribution of this aid to the economic development of the area in which Nîmes airport is located, particularly due to its beneficial impact on local tourism and the industrial hub present at the airport site, the Commission considers that the aid in question did not affect competition and trade to an extent contrary to the common interest.

In the light of the above, the exceptional operating subsidies, repayable advances, flat-rate contribution, as established by the initial version of the CDSP and increased by Amendments Nos 1 and 3, and specific public contribution constitute aid compatible with the internal market within the meaning of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Dopis Francije z dne 19. februarja 2014 (glavno besedilo ter prilogi 2014-1-3 in 2014-1-4(a) in (b)).

RECOVERY
Priloga 2014-1-4 b k dopisu Francije z dne 19. februarja 2014, str. 13.
The Commission has found that Ryanair/AMS benefited from unlawful aid that was incompatible with the internal market.
Priloga 2014-1-4(b) k dopisu Francije z dne 19. februarja 2014, str. 16.
According to settled case-law of the Court of Justice, when the Commission has found that aid is incompatible with the internal market, it is competent to decide that the Member State concerned must abolish or alter it.
V skladu s členom 11 SPOJS „ima pooblaščenec popolno svobodo pri pogajanjih za sklenitev pogodb z uporabniki letališč in prevzema njihove posledice, zlasti finančne, v zvezi s […] Sporazumom“.
According to Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 ‘Where negative decisions are taken in cases of unlawful aid, the Commission shall decide that the Member State concerned shall take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary (hereinafter referred to as a “recovery decision”).
Toda iz navedene določbe je mogoče implicitno, vendar jasno razbrati, da je bilo mogoče to „popolno svobodo“ izvajati le v splošnem okviru, ki ga je določil SPOJS, in v okviru zavez družbe Veolia Transport v odgovoru na razpis, ki so, kot je bilo pojasnjeno zgoraj, močno omejevale ravnanje družbe VTAN in nanj vplivale.
The Commission shall not require recovery of the aid if this would be contrary to a general principle of Community law’.
Dopis Francije z dne 19. februarja 2014.
According to settled case-law of the Court of Justice, where unlawful aid is regarded by the Commission as incompatible with the internal market, the purpose of the obligation imposed on the state is to re-establish the previously existing situation.
Glej zlasti sodbo v zadevi Španija proti Komisiji, C-342/96, Recueil, str.
In this respect, the Court of Justice considers that the purpose is achieved when beneficiaries have repaid the amounts granted by way of unlawful aid, thus forfeiting the advantage that they enjoyed over competitors.
I-2459, točka 41.
In this way, the situation prior to payment of the aid is restored.
Zadeva Ryanair Ltd proti Komisiji, T-196/04, ZOdl.
In the present case, it appears that no general principle of Union law prevents recovery of the unlawful aid identified in this Decision.
2008, str.
In particular, neither France nor the interested third parties have presented any arguments to that effect.
II-3643, točka 88 in točke od 57 do 60.
France must therefore take all necessary measures to recover from Ryanair/AMS the unlawful aid granted through the agreements in question.
Zadnje navedena pogodba je prva pogodba o tržnih storitvah, sklenjena z družbama Ryanair ali AMS, med tistimi, ki so zajete v tej preučitvi.
The aid amounts resulting from the agreements signed with the CCI must be repaid to the latter.
Treba je pripomniti, da je aneks z dne 18. avgusta 2010 težko povezati z implicitno ali eksplicitno pogodbo o letaliških storitvah.
The aid amounts resulting from the agreements signed with VTAN must be repaid to the SMAN given that, as previously shown, the state resources used to finance the advantages resulting from the agreements in question came from the SMAN via the operating subsidies paid to VTAN.
Ta aneks bo analiziran posebej.
The aid amounts to be recovered for each agreement must be determined as follows.
Dopis Francije z dne 27. februarja 2012.
Each transaction under review (consisting, where applicable, of an airport services agreement and a marketing services agreement) must be regarded as having given rise to aid amounts calculated for each year that the agreements forming the transaction applied, or for each period for which the projected incremental flows were calculated.
V členu 1 pogodbe o tržnih storitvah, v katerem je določen cilj pogodbe, je navedeno, da „ta sporazum temelji na zavezi družbe Ryanair k opravljanju tedenskih letov na rutah med letališčem Nîmes in Londonom ter k večji pogostosti letov poleti […] in k štirim letom na teden med Nîmesom in Liverpoolom ter na dogovoru z družbo Ryanair, da bo konec leta 2005 oglaševala dodatno storitev odhodnih letov z Nîmesa […]“ (prosti prevod angleškega besedila).
Each of these amounts is calculated using the negative part of the projected incremental flow (revenues less costs) at the time when the transaction was concluded, as shown in Tables 7 to 16.
Prosti prevod angleškega besedila („provided that both technical and financial conditions proposed by FNI were acceptable, so as to make the operation of the routes viable“).
These amounts in fact correspond to the sums that should be deducted each year from the amount for the marketing services (or that should be added to the airport charges and ground handling charges invoiced to the airlines) so that the net present value of the agreement is positive, in other words so that this complies with the MEO principle.
Druge pogodbe o tržnih storitvah, ki jih je sklenila družba VTAN in na katere se nanaša formalni postopek preiskave, so samo aneksi h glavnim pogodbam in so torej tako kot te pogodbe neločljivo povezane z nekaterimi rutami, na katerih opravlja lete družba Ryanair, in pogodbami o letaliških storitvah, ki jih urejajo.
In order to take account of the effective advantage received by Ryanair/AMS under the agreements, the amounts referred to in the above recital may be adjusted, using evidence provided by France, according to (i) the difference between, on the one hand, the actual payments, as determined ex post, that were made by Ryanair for the landing charge, passenger charge and ground handling services under the airport services agreement and, on the other hand, the ( ex ante) projected flows corresponding to these income items, as indicated in Tables 7 to 16; (ii) the difference between, on the one hand, the actual marketing payments, as determined ex post, that were made to Ryanair or AMS under the marketing services agreement and, on the other hand, the corresponding (ex ante) projected marketing costs, as indicated in Tables 7 to 16.
Glej opombo 96.
In addition, the Commission considers that the effective advantage received by Ryanair/AMS is limited to the effective term of the agreement in question.
Pripombe upravljavcev k sklepu o začetku postopka, str. 34.
In effect, after the termination of each agreement, Ryanair/AMS did not receive any payments under these agreements and did not benefit from access to the airport infrastructure and ground handling services under these agreements.
Brez poseganja v kakršne koli cilje javne politike na področju lokalnega gospodarskega razvoja, ki si jih upravljavci morda prizadevajo doseči s sklenitvijo obravnavanih pogodb.
Consequently, the aid amounts calculated as indicated above and associated with a given agreement are reduced to zero for the periods during which the agreement effectively ceased to apply (particularly due to early termination by mutual agreement between the parties).
V navedeni analizi je mogoče družbo VTAN izenačiti z „javnim naročnikom“, saj ima po navedbah Francije v skladu s SPOJS nalogo splošnega pomena, in sicer gospodarski in turistični razvoj.
As a result, the aid amount to be recovered from Ryanair/AMS for certain agreements that did not run to term must be reduced to zero for the period from the effective expiry date of the agreement to the expiry date stipulated when the agreement was signed.
Glej na primer sodbe v zadevi BAI proti Komisiji, T-14/96, Recueil 1999, str.
Table 17 below gives information on the amounts to be used to calculate the amounts to be recovered.

These amounts consist of the negative parts of the incremental flows (revenues less costs) established by applying the MEO test, with reductions for the Ryanair/AMS agreements for the years that these agreements did not run to term.
