The Commission must also establish whether the State aid granted to Alghero airport changed the behaviour of the beneficiary undertaking in such a way that it engages in activity that contributes to the achievement of a public-interest objective that (i) it would not carry out without the aid, or (ii) it would carry out in a more restricted or different manner.
Komisija je namreč pri presoji spornih ukrepov dolžna upoštevati vse upoštevne dejavnike in njihov kontekst […]“ [104].
In addition, the aid is considered to be proportionate only if the same result could not be reached with less aid and less distortion.
Pričakovani dodatni prihodki morajo vključevati zlasti prihodke od letaliških pristojbin ob upoštevanju popustov ter dodatnega prometa, za katerega se pričakuje, da ga bo ustvaril dogovor, in prihodkov iz neletalskih dejavnosti, za katere se pričakuje, da jih bo ustvaril dodatni promet.
This means that the amount and intensity of the aid must be limited to the minimum needed for the aided activity to take place.
Pričakovani dodatni stroški morajo vključevati zlasti vse dodatne stroške poslovanja in naložb, ki ne bi nastali brez dogovora, kot so dodatni stroški osebja, opreme in naložb, ki so nastali zaradi prisotnosti letalskega prevoznika na letališču, pa tudi stroške nepovratnih sredstev za trženje in drugih finančnih spodbud.
In this case the investment grants mainly related to the upgrading of the aprons, runway and taxiway, as well as the terminal.
Nasprotno pa se stroški, ki bi jih letališče moralo kriti v vsakem primeru in ne glede na dogovor z letalskim prevoznikom, pri presoji načela udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu ne smejo upoštevati.
Long payback periods associated with investments in infrastructure, combined with the significant complexities and risks associated with large projects, imply that there may be difficulties attracting private capital.
Komisija v zvezi s tem ugotavlja tudi, da je oblikovanje različnih cen (vključno s podporo za trženje in drugimi spodbudami) običajna poslovna praksa.
Smaller airports, such as Alghero airport, may face particular difficulties attracting private capital at the appropriate price to be able to undertake the necessary infrastructure projects.
Za to, da se vsem letalskim prevoznikom ne nudijo enaki pogoji, je lahko več razlogov.
According to the information submitted by Italy, absent the aid these investments could not have been carried out.
Zlasti razumno je lahko nudenje posebnih finančnih spodbud (tudi v obliki nepovratnih sredstev za trženje) in posebnih popustov na objavljene letališke pristojbine letalskim prevoznikom, ki na letališče privabijo veliko število potnikov.
Indeed, in view of the financial situation of So.Ge.A.AL, which accumulated losses throughout the 2000-2010 period under investigation to an extent that required a number of capital injections by the public authorities, it is clear that So.Ge.A.AL was not in a position to contribute significantly more to the financing of these investments than it actually did and had no possibility to obtain outside funding on the market.
Navedeni ugodni pogoji se lahko objektivno utemeljijo s pričakovanim dodatnim prometom ob upoštevanju prihodkov iz neletalskih dejavnosti, ki se ustvarijo s tem dodatnim prometom [105].
It can therefore be considered that the aid measures at stake were necessary and proportional to the need to meet the expected demand of airlines and passengers in the catchment area.
Nadaljnja utemeljitev je, da je lahko dobiček na potnika, ustvarjen z letališkimi pristojbinami, ki jih plača letalski prevoznik, v absolutnem smislu precejšen zaradi števila potnikov, čeprav se zmanjša zaradi popustov in finančnih spodbud.
The Commission therefore considers that the aid is limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
Za oceno, ali taki popusti in finančne spodbude zagotavljajo gospodarsko prednost, je treba ugotoviti, ali je upravljavec letališča ob sprejetju odločitve, da ponudi popuste in finančne spodbude, lahko razumno pričakoval, da bo odločitev donosna, tj. da bo zagotovila večji dobiček (ali nižje izgube) kot v hipotetičnem scenariju.
The Commission considers that should the measures under scrutiny, which provide for public support for infrastructure investments at Alghero airport, be regarded as investment aid, they are compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Komisija ugotavlja tudi, da so bili sporazumi, ki jih je družba So.Ge.A.AL sklenila z letalskimi prevozniki, ki delujejo na letališču, del dolgoročne strategije letališča.
Compatibility of the aid to So.Ge.A.AL (Measures 1, 2 and 3) under the assumption that they constitute operating aid
Iz poslovnih načrtov družbe So.Ge.A.AL je razvidno (glej uvodne izjave 59 do 75), da se je zanašala na nizkocenovne letalske prevoznike kot glavna gonila rasti ter pričakovala, da bo po dodeljeni celoviti koncesiji za upravljanje letališča Alghero obrnila pretekli trend padanja in ponovno dosegla rentabilnost.
Operating aid granted before the entry into force of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, that is before 4 April 2014, may be declared compatible provided that the following conditions are met:
Zato pogoj iz uvodne izjave 399 izpolnjujejo vse pogodbe, ki so predmet presoje.
Contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest: this condition is fulfilled, inter alia, if the aid increases the mobility of Union citizens and connectivity of the regions or facilitates regional development [89];
Iz vsega navedenega je razvidno, da je vsak sporazum, ki je predmet preiskave, če je zanj mogoče ugotoviti, da bi lahko udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu na mestu družbe So.Ge.A.AL, ki se ravna po možnostih donosa, ob sklenitvi vsakega od teh sporazumov razumno pričakoval, da se bodo prihodnji dodatni stroški, ki bodo nastali zaradi sporazuma, izravnali s prihodnjimi dodatnimi prihodki, skladen z načelom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu in ne pomeni državne pomoči.
Appropriateness of State aid as a policy instrument: the Member States must demonstrate that the aid is appropriate to achieve the intended objective or resolve the problems intended to be addressed by the aid [90];
O skupni oceni sporazumov o letaliških storitvah z družbo Ryanair in sporazumov o trženju z družbo AMS
Need for State intervention: the aid should be targeted towards situations where such aid can bring about a material improvement that the market itself cannot deliver [91];
Komisija je v sklepu iz leta 2012 menila, da je treba za namene uporabe načela udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu sporazume o letaliških storitvah z družbo Ryanair in sporazumov o trženju z družbama Ryanair in AMS ter njihove finančne posledice oceniti skupaj kot en ukrep.
Existence of incentive effect: this condition is fulfilled if it is likely that, in the absence of operating aid, and taking into account the possible presence of investment aid and the level of traffic, the level of economic activity of the airport concerned would be significantly reduced [92];
Družba Ryanair ni nasprotovala skupnemu ocenjevanju sporazumov o trženju, ki sta jih neposredno sklenili družbi Ryanair in So.Ge.A.AL v letih 2002 in 2003, in sporazumov o letaliških storitvah iz let 2002 in 2003.
Proportionality of the aid amount (aid limited to the minimum necessary): in order to be proportionate, operating aid to airports must be limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place [93];
Vendar se družba Ryanair ni strinjala s predhodno ugotovitvijo Komisije, da je treba družbi Ryanair in AMS šteti za en subjekt in da bi bilo treba za namene ocene obstoja gospodarske prednosti zadevni sporazum o letaliških storitvah med družbama So.Ge.A.AL in Ryanair ter sporazum o tržnih storitvah med družbama So.Ge.A.AL in AMS oceniti skupaj.
Avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade [94].
Po mnenju družbe Ryanair bi bili sporazumi o letaliških storitvah, sklenjeni z družbo Ryanair in sporazumi o tržnih storitvah, sklenjeni z družbo AMS, ločeni in neodvisni, nanašali bi se na različne storitve in ne bi bili pogodbeno ali kako drugače povezani, kar bi upravičilo njihovo obravnavo kot enega sklopa ukrepov.
The various operating measures granted to So.Ge.A.AL, which included in particular several capital injections, were aimed to allow the company to have enough capital to continue operating viably, both from an economic and a legal point of view.
Družba AMS je podprla to stališče.
Similarly, the decisions of the public authorities to finance certain investments without requiring a corresponding increase in the concession fees paid by So.Ge.A.AL also contributed to maintaining the company afloat since higher concession fees would have translated in higher operating costs further worsening the financial situation of the company.
Komisija v zvezi s tem ugotavlja, da več kazalnikov jasno kaže na to, da je treba sporazume oceniti kot en ukrep, saj so bili sklenjeni v okviru enega posla.
Therefore, all these measures contributed to keeping Alghero airport up and running.
Prvič, sporazume so hkrati sklenile iste stranke:
In view of the role played by the airport in the accessibility of the region and regional economic development, as explained in recitals 343-348, the Commission considers the operating aid to So.Ge.A.AL contributed to the achievement of an objective of common interest.
za namene uporabe pravil o državni pomoči se družbi AMS in Ryanair štejeta za eno podjetje, saj družba AMS ravna v interesu in pod nadzorom družbe Ryanair.
Since Alghero airport was loss-making in the period under investigation (see Table 3), it was the operating aid which enabled the airport to continue operations ensuring connectivity of the Sardinia region.
Pri zadevnih sporazumih je o tem mogoče sklepati tudi iz dejstva, da je v zadevnem sporazumu o trženju v preambuli navedeno, da ima „družba AMS […] izključno dovoljenje za nudenje tržnih storitev na potovalnem spletnem mestu www.ryanair.com, tj. spletnem mestu irskega nizkocenovnega prevoznika Ryanair“.
Therefore the Commission considers that the operating aid granted to Alghero airport was an appropriate instrument to achieve the objective of common interest.
Če je torej družba So.Ge.A.AL nameravala oglaševati namembni kraj družbe Ryanair in okoliška območja, je to lahko storila le prek družbe AMS in
As regards necessity, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines require that the operating aid brings about a material improvement that the market itself cannot deliver.
zadevni sporazumi so se v vseh primerih sklenili na iste datume.
The Commission considers this to be the case as, absent the aid in question, So.Ge.A.AL would likely have been forced to exit the market, depriving Sardinia of a transport infrastructure which plays a significant role in its accessibility and development (tourism).
Drugič, v preambulah sporazumov o trženju z družbo AMS iz let 2006 in 2010 je navedeno, da „spletna stran www.ryanair.com nudi edinstveno priložnost za doseganje milijonov morebitnih potnikov družbe Ryanair in predstavlja obširne informacije o letališčih, mestih in regijah, v katerih deluje družba Ryanair“.
Moreover, absent the aid the activity of the beneficiary would have been significantly reduced if not terminated altogether.
Iz tega je razvidno, da namen sporazuma o trženju ni na splošno oglaševanje Sardinije, ampak povečanje prodaje letalskih kart za namembni kraj družbe Ryanair, Alghero.
The measures under investigation were limited to the minimum necessary to offset losses and allow So.Ge.A.AL to observe capital requirements and continue to operate viably.
V preambulah je navedeno, da bi morala biti družba So.Ge.A.AL usmerjena v potnike družbe Ryanair, da bi spodbujala turizem in poslovne priložnosti v regiji, in zlasti promovirala letališče Alghero kot namembni kraj.
Such measures were necessary to keep the company afloat even once the effects of all the other (operating and investment) aids under investigation are taken into account.
Tretjič, v sporazumih o trženju z družbo AMS je v njunem prvem oddelku z naslovom „Namen sporazuma“ navedeno, da „temelji[ta] na zavezi družbe Ryanair, da bo obratovala rute med letališčem Alghero in namembnimi kraji v EU“ (v sporazumu iz leta 2006 so navedeni London-Stansted, Barcelona Gerona, Frankfurt Hahn, Pisa, Liverpool in Rim).
Therefore, the Commission concludes that all operating aid to So.Ge.A.AL was necessary and limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
S to ubeseditvijo je vzpostavljena nedvoumna neposredna povezava med sporazumi o letaliških storitvah in sporazumih o trženju v smislu, da eden brez drugega ne bi bila sklenjena.
As stated in above, no other airport is located in the same catchment area.
Sporazumi o trženju temeljijo na sklenitvi sporazumov o letaliških storitvah in storitvah, ki jih zagotavlja družba Ryanair.
Moreover, Italy has confirmed that the airport infrastructure is made available to all airlines on non-discriminatory terms.
Četrtič, v preambulah sporazumov o trženju je navedeno, da se je družba So.Ge.A.AL odločila za „aktivno oglaševanje mesta Alghero in regije kot počitniškega namembnega kraja za vse mednarodne letalske potnike in kot privlačno poslovno središče“.
On that basis, the Commission concludes that the compatibility conditions laid down by the 2014 Aviation Guidelines are complied with and therefore the measures are compatible with the internal market under Article 107(3)(c).
Iz tega je razvidno, da je osnovni in posebni cilj sklenitve sporazumov o trženju oglaševanje letališča Alghero in okoliških območij, torej je vezana na sklenitev sporazuma o letaliških storitvah z družbo Ryanair.
MEASURES IN FAVOUR OF AIRLINES OPERATING AT THE AIRPORT
Petič, če družba Ryanair preneha z obratovanjem navedenih rut, lahko družba So.Ge.A.AL sporazume o trženju nemudoma prekine.
In this section, the Commission assesses whether the various agreements between So.Ge.A.AL and several airlines that fall within the scope of the investigation, constitute State aid to the airlines concerned within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Tudi to dokazuje, da so sporazumi o trženju in sporazumi o letaliških storitvah neločljivo povezani.
Any economic advantage involved in the contractual relations with the airlines operating at Alghero airport was not granted directly by the State, but by the state-owned airport manager So.Ge.A.AL.
Sporazumi o tržnih storitvah, ki sta jih sklenili družbi So.Ge.A.AL in AMS, so neločljivo povezani s sporazumi o letaliških storitvah, ki sta jih podpisali družbi Ryanair in So.Ge.A.AL.
According to an established case-law, the resources of public undertakings (namely, undertakings on which the public authorities can exercise, be it directly or indirectly, a dominant influence), also qualify as State resources because these resources ‘constantly remain under public control, and therefore [are] available to the competent national authorities’ [95].
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da sporazumov o letaliških storitvah in sporazumov o tržnih storitvah ni mogoče ločiti in meni, da je treba vsak sporazum o tržnih storitvah analizirati skupaj s sporazumom o letaliških storitvah, sklenjenim v istem času, da bi se ugotovilo, ali tak posel pomeni državno pomoč.
In line with that case law, as So.Ge.A.AL is a public undertaking, its resources have to be considered as State resources for the purposes of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
O koristih, ki bi jih lahko udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu pričakoval na podlagi sporazumov o tržnih storitvah in ceni, ki bi jo bil za te storitve pripravljen plačati
Indeed, according to Article 2 of the Transparency Directive, a dominant influence by the public authorities shall be presumed when public authorities hold a major part in the company's subscribed capital, control the majority of the votes attaching to shares issued by the company, or can appoint more than half of the members of the undertaking's administrative, managerial or supervisory board.
Za namene uporabe preskusa udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu v tem primeru je treba ravnanje regije Sardinije in družbe So.Ge.A.AL primerjati z ravnanjem preudarnega udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, pooblaščenega za upravljanje letališča Alghero, ki se ravna po možnostih donosa.
In the case of So.Ge.A.AL it appears that all three of these noncumulative criteria for presuming dominant influence by the State are met.
Pri tej oceni se ne bi smeli upoštevati nobeni pozitivni učinki na gospodarstvo regije, v kateri se nahaja letališče, ker je Sodišče pojasnilo, da je zadevno vprašanje za uporabo preskusa udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, ali „bi se v podobnih okoliščinah zasebni vlagatelj na podlagi predvidljivih možnosti donosa, ne glede na vse dejavnike socialne narave oziroma regionalno ali sektorsko politiko, odločil za tak prispevek“ [106].
So.Ge.A.AL and Ryanair contest the imputability to the State of the agreements with the airlines, while Italy and Unioncamere confirm it.
Pri analizi zadevnih ukrepov je treba proučiti koristi, ki bi jih ta hipotetični udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu, motiviran z možnostjo donosa, lahko pridobil z nakupom tržnih storitev.
Both So.Ge.A.AL and Ryanair have in the course of the investigation claimed that the agreements concluded by Alghero airport with the airlines could be imputed to the State only based on an objective finding showing that the State had intervened in So.Ge.A.AL's decision to enter the agreements in such a way as to determine or influence them, in the sense that So.Ge.A.AL would have adopted a different behaviour had it been able to make an independent decision; they contended that this was not the case for either of So.Ge.A.AL's public shareholders.
V tej analizi se ne bi smel upoštevati splošni učinek takšnih storitev na turizem in gospodarsko uspešnost regije.
Based on case-law, the agreements concluded by So.Ge.A.AL with the airlines operating at the airport may be found to contain State aid pursuant to Article 107(1) of the Treaty only if the State was in a position to control So.Ge.A.AL and if the public authorities have ‘been involved, in one way or another, in the adoption of those measures’.
Upoštevati bi se moral le učinek navedenih storitev na donosnost letališča, saj bi bilo to edino, kar bi zanimalo hipotetičnega udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
However, ‘it cannot be demanded that it be demonstrated, on the basis of a precise inquiry, that in the particular case the public authorities specifically incited the public undertaking to take the aid measures in question.’ [96].
Tržne storitve načeloma lahko spodbujajo potniški promet na rutah, zajetih v sporazumih o tržnih storitvah in sporazumih o letaliških storitvah, saj so tržne storitve zasnovane tako, da oglašujejo navedene rute.
In order to conclude whether a specific measure can be imputed to the State the Commission may base its reasoning on 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 [97].
Čeprav bo ta učinek koristil zlasti zadevnemu letalskemu prevozniku, lahko koristi tudi upravljavcu letališča.
As the Court established in Stardust Marine, the imputability of a measure to the State can be established either by ‘organic’ or ‘structural’ indicators or by indications that the State has been involved, or was unlikely to be absent, from the decision that led to the concrete measure.
Poleg tega se lahko s povečanjem potniškega prometa povečajo prihodki upravljavca letališča od nekaterih letaliških pristojbin, pa tudi prihodki iz neletalskih dejavnosti, zlasti od avtomobilskih parkirišč, restavracij in drugih poslovnih subjektov na letališču, katerih prihodek se v celoti ali delno steka k upravljavcu letališča.
In the same judgment the Court established a non-exhaustive set of possible indicators relevant for the question of state imputability, as detailed in recital 268: the fact that the undertaking through the intermediation of which the aid has been granted had to take into account directives issued by governmental bodies; the integration of the public undertaking into the structures of the public administration; the nature of the undertaking's activities and the exercise of the latter on the market in normal conditions of competition with private operators; the legal status of the undertaking; the intensity of the supervision exercised by the public authorities over the management of the undertaking; and 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.
Udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu, ki letališče Alghero upravlja namesto družbe So.Ge.A.AL in regije Sardinije, bi ta morebiten učinek upošteval pri odločanju, ali bi sklenil sporazum o tržnih storitvah in ustrezen sporazum o letaliških storitvah.
The investigation in this case has confirmed that the conclusion of the agreements with the airlines is imputable to the State.
Udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu bi upošteval učinek zadevne rute na prihodnje prihodke in stroške, ko bi v tem primeru ocenil povečanje števila potnikov na navedenih rutah, s čimer bi se zajel morebiten pozitiven učinek tržnih storitev v obliki višjega pričakovanega deleža zasedenosti (ali koeficienta zasedenosti) [107] za navedene rute.
First, the public ownership of So.Ge.A.AL, which translates into the entirety of the votes in the Shareholders Assembly and Board of Directors, implies that the State must be regarded as having an influence on So.Ge.A.AL's decision-making processes and being involved in the decisions taken by the company.
Poleg tega bi se ta učinek ocenil za celotno trajanje obratovanja zadevnih rut, kot je določeno v sporazumu o letaliških storitvah in sporazumu o tržnih storitvah.
Sardinia, given its participation in So.Ge.A.AL, has a majority of votes in the shareholders meeting.
Komisija se strinja z družbo Ryanair glede tega vprašanja, torej da sporazumi o tržnih storitvah ne pomenijo le stroškov za upravljavca letališča, ampak se lahko pričakuje, da prinašajo tudi koristi.
According to So.Ge.A.AL's Statutes, each nominal share entitles to one vote in the shareholders general meeting.
Poleg tega je treba ugotoviti, ali se lahko za hipotetičnega udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, ki upravlja letališče Alghero, razumno pričakujejo in količinsko opredelijo druge koristi, kot na primer podoba znamke, tj. koristi, ki niso le pozitiven učinek na potniški promet na rutah, zajetih v sporazumu o tržnih storitvah, v času trajanja obratovanja teh rut, kot je določeno v sporazumu o tržnih storitvah ali sporazumu o letaliških storitvah.
The members of the Board of Directors are appointed to represent proportionally the majority shareholders' and the minority shareholders' participations.
Družba Ryanair je v svoji študiji zlasti trdila, da bodo imele te tržne storitve trajnostne pozitivne učinke na potniški promet na letališču tudi po prenehanju sporazuma o tržnih storitvah.
Second, the Commission notes that at no time has Italy claimed that the decision to enter the agreements with the airlines was taken by So.Ge.A.AL autonomously with no involvement of its shareholders.
Tako meni tudi Italija in koristi tržnih storitev so se upoštevale pri rekonstrukciji predhodne analize donosnosti sporazumov z družbo Ryanair, kot je povzeto v preglednici 8 v nadaljevanju.
On the contrary, by letter of 18 February 2014, Italy submitted that:
Najprej je treba opozoriti, da nič ne kaže na to, da bi upravljavec letališča ali regija Sardinija ob sklenitvi sporazumov o tržnih storitvah, zajetih v formalnem postopku preiskave, proučila ali količinsko opredelila morebitne pozitivne učinke sporazumov o tržnih storitvah na rute, ki niso zajete v sporazumih, ali možnost, da bi se takšni učinki nadaljevali po prenehanju sporazumov.
the agreements with the airlines have been negotiated by the Director-General of So.Ge.A.AL;
Poleg tega trajnostne narave navedenih učinkov ni mogoče oceniti na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij.
