However, the Commission takes the view that this high load factor can be used, even if it is a favourable assumption, in order to reflect a possible beneficial effect of the marketing services on passenger traffic on the routes covered by the various agreements, and in the absence of other elements quantifying the foreseeable impact of these services on the load factor.
Razlog za to je zlasti, da razumen in preudaren udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu ob sklenitvi pogodbe ne more računati na njeno podaljšanje pod enakimi ali drugačnimi pogoji.
Where the period of application of an agreement did not coincide with full calendar years, the Commission took this into account by calculating, for each year of application of the agreement, the projected traffic in proportion to the number of days in the year when the agreement applied.
Komisija ugotavlja, da bi neto sedanja vrednost, izračunana za obdobje 2006–2009 na podlagi letnih tokov, navedenih v poslovnem načrtu za ta leta, in z uporabo diskontne stopnje, ki jo je predlagala Francija, znašala [- 300 000 do - 400 000] EUR.
Some agreements contained indications as to the number of passengers expected on the routes covered.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je pogodba ustvarila letne dodatne tokove, ki so bili v obdobju, zajetemu v analizi donosnosti (razen leta 2009, ko je dodatni tok skoraj enak nič), vsi negativni, kar nujno pomeni negativno neto sedanjo vrednost ne glede na to, kakšna diskontna stopnja se uporabi.
However, as these indications were not legally binding, they would not necessarily have been taken into account by a prudent MEO in its profitability analysis.
Zato pogodba z družbo Transavia iz leta 2006 tej družbi daje gospodarsko prednost.
The Commission therefore ignored them and used the assumption of an 85 % load factor for all the agreements (which is higher than these indications).
Ker to prednost uživa samo eno podjetje, je selektivna.
Furthermore, some agreements contained a commitment by the airline with regard to the minimum number of passengers to be carried on the routes concerned.
Preglednica 12
However, an MEO would have probably banked on a number of passengers higher than the minimum guaranteed by the airline.

Incremental revenues (agreements signed with Ryanair and AMS)
od katerih – storitve trženja
For each transaction covered by its analysis, the Commission sought to determine the incremental revenues, i.e. the revenues generated by the transaction, as an MEO would have predicted them.
skupaj (B)
Applying the ‘single-till’ principle, the Commission takes the view that both aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues should be taken into account.
Letni finančni rezultat
Aeronautical revenue consist of the proceeds from the various charges to be paid by the airline to the airport operator, namely:
(A – B)
the landing charge, namely an amount per rotation;
Kumulativni rezultat
the passenger charge, namely an amount per rotation;
Davek od dohodkov pravnih oseb
the charge paid for the groundhandling services, which takes the form of an amount per rotation set in the various airport services agreements.
Dodatni finančni tok po davku od dohodkov
The landing charge and passenger charge applied by the CCIPB are in principle regulated charges for access to the airport infrastructure, which are invoiced to all user airlines following a process of consultation and which are published.
Neto sedanja vrednost 2006–2009
The various airport services agreements signed with Ryanair and Transavia stipulate that the airport’s public charging system is applicable.
[–300 do –400]
For these various agreements, the Commission has used, as projected unit amounts of the landing charge and passenger charge, the public charges in force when the agreements were signed, plus indexation of 2 % per year.
Če finančna pomoč države članice okrepi položaj podjetja glede na druga konkurenčna podjetja v trgovini znotraj Skupnosti, je treba za slednja šteti, da so pod vplivom pomoči.
The Commission takes the view that an MEO could have predicted an inflation rate of 2 %, as this is the target rate of the European Central Bank (‘ECB’) for the euro area.
V skladu z ustaljeno sodno prakso je za ugotovitev, da ukrep izkrivlja ali bi lahko izkrivljal konkurenco, dovolj, da prejemnik pomoči konkurira drugim podjetjem na trgih, odprtih za konkurenco.
In fact, it was reasonable to predict that the regulated charges would increase each year in line with inflation.
Od začetka veljavnosti tretjega svežnja liberalizacije zračnega prevoza 1. januarja 1993 letalskim prevoznikom EU nič ne preprečuje, da bi opravljali lete na rutah v EU in koristili neomejeno dovoljenje za opravljanje kabotaže.
The charges for groundhandling services are not regulated, but are negotiated bilaterally.
Prednosti, ki so jih prejele družbe Ryanair, AMS in Transavia prek različnih pogodb in sprememb, zajetih v tej preiskavi, so okrepile njihov položaj glede na druge letalske prevoznike EU, ki dejansko tekmujejo ali bi lahko tekmovali z družbama Ryanair in Transavia za rute, na katerih delujeta.
In the various airport services agreements signed with Ryanair and in the agreement signed with Transavia, these charges take the form of fixed amounts per rotation, without any indexation.
Zato so izkrivljale ali bi lahko izkrivljale konkurenco in vplivale na trgovino znotraj Skupnosti.
These amounts have therefore been used by the Commission in its analysis.
Različne pogodbe in spremembe, ki jih je zbornica sklenila z družbami Ryanair, AMS in Transavia ter so zajete v formalnem postopku preiskave, izpolnjujejo vsa merila iz člena 107(1) PDEU, zato vse pomenijo državno pomoč.
In order to calculate the proceeds from the three aforementioned airport charges that an MEO would have expected from each agreement, the Commission has used the number of planned rotations (for the landing charge and for the charge for groundhandling services) and the number of additional passengers expected (for the passenger charge), determined for each agreement, and has multiplied these by the unit charge.
NEZAKONITOST POMOČI
The non-aeronautical revenue is in principle essentially proportional to the number of passengers.
Ti ukrepi so bili izvedeni brez odobritve Komisije, zato pomenijo nezakonito pomoč.
In fact, the activity of car parks, restaurants and other businesses situated in the airport depends on the number of passengers.
ZDRUŽLJIVOST Z NOTRANJIM TRGOM
The same is therefore true for the revenue received by the airport operator from these activities.
Obravnavana pomoč je pomoč za tekoče poslovanje.
The most reasonable approach for determining the projected incremental non-aeronautical revenue therefore involves determining an amount of non-aeronautical revenue per passenger, which is then multiplied by the projected incremental traffic.
Vendar se lahko taka pomoč razglasi za združljivo le v izjemnih in ustrezno utemeljenih okoliščinah.
With regard to the amount of non-aeronautical revenue per passenger, the Commission considers it likely that a reasonable MEO would have determined this, when the various agreements were signed, based on the airport’s total non-aeronautical revenue per passenger over a long enough period to be representative, and immediately preceding the signature of the agreement in question.
Poleg tega bi morala Francija v skladu z ustaljeno sodno prakso navesti, na kakšni pravni podlagi bi se lahko zadevna pomoč štela za združljivo z notranjim trgom, in dokazati, da so pogoji za združljivost izpolnjeni.
The Commission takes the view in this respect that a period of 3 years is reasonable.
Zato je Komisija v sklepu o začetku postopka in zahtevi po dodatnih informacijah Francijo pozvala, naj navede morebitne pravne podlage za združljivost in ugotovi, ali so izpolnjeni ustrezni pogoji za združljivost, zlasti če bi se zadevna pomoč štela za zagonsko pomoč za uvedbo novih rut.
The Commission also takes the view that an MEO would have projected the indexation of this amount over time in order to reflect inflation.
Vendar Francija ni nikoli trdila, da zadevni ukrepi pomenijo zagonsko pomoč, združljivo z notranjim trgom, in ni nikoli predlagala druge podlage za njihovo morebitno združljivost ali kakršnih koli razlogov, na podlagi katerih bi bilo mogoče to pomoč razglasiti za združljivo z notranjim trgom.
In this respect the Commission has used a rate of 2 % (applied from the year in the middle of the 3-year period).
Poleg tega si ni nobena zainteresirana tretja stran prizadevala dokazati, da so ti ukrepi združljivi z notranjim trgom.
The following table gives the airport’s total non-aeronautical revenue for the period from 2000 to 2011, year by year, and, for each year, the average unit amount of non-aeronautical revenue per passenger over the previous 3 years.
Komisija kljub temu meni, da je koristno oceniti, v kakšni meri bi se lahko ta pomoč razglasila za združljivo v smislu njenega morebitnega prispevka k uvedbi novih rut ali novih pogostosti letov.
Table 5
Vendar je treba opozoriti, da je ta ocena nepotrebna, saj je treba zaradi dejstva, da država članica in zainteresirane tretje strani niso predložile nobenih dokazov o združljivosti pomoči, to pomoč razglasiti za nezdružljivo.
Non-aeronautical revenue
Nove smernice v zvezi s tako pomočjo določajo:
Total amounts
„Komisija bo v zvezi z zagonsko pomočjo letalskim prevoznikom uporabila načela iz teh smernic za vse priglašene ukrepe zagonske pomoči, v zvezi s katerimi je pozvana k sprejetju sklepa od 4. aprila 2014 dalje, tudi kadar so bili ukrepi priglašeni pred tem datumom.
Average unit amount per passenger over the previous 3 years (EUR)
V skladu z obvestilom Komisije o določitvi veljavnih pravil za ocenjevanje nezakonite državne pomoči bo Komisija za nezakonito zagonsko pomoč letalskim prevoznikom uporabila pravila, ki so veljala v času dodelitve pomoči.
Incremental costs (agreements signed with Ryanair and AMS)
V skladu s tem teh smernic ne bo uporabila v primeru nezakonite zagonske pomoči letalskim prevoznikom, dodeljene pred 4. aprilom 2014“.
The incremental costs that could be expected ex ante from each transaction (consisting, where applicable, of an airport services agreement and a marketing services agreement) by an MEO operating the airport in place of the CCIPB fall into the following three categories:
Smernice iz leta 2005 določajo, da bo Komisija „združljivost vsake pomoči financiranja letaliških infrastruktur ali zagonske pomoči, ki je bila dodeljena brez njene odobritve in ki torej krši člen 88(3) Pogodbe, preverila na podlagi teh smernic, če je bila pomoč dodeljena po njihovi objavi v Uradnem listu Evropske unije.
marketing service purchase costs,
Sicer bo preverjanje izvedla na podlagi pravil, veljavnih ob dodelitvi pomoči“.
incremental investment costs, due to investments made as a result of the transaction,
Komisija poudarja, da je bila zadevna pomoč dodeljena za spodbuditev uvedbe novih rut, povečanje pogostosti letov na obstoječih rutah ali ohranitev rut, ki bi se sicer morda ukinile.
incremental operating costs, namely operating costs (staff, sundry purchases) that may be generated as a result of the transaction.
Zato gre za pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, katere cilj je spodbuditi odhodni letalski promet z regionalnega letališča.
With regard to the costs of the marketing services agreements, the Commission has taken into account the amounts stipulated in these various agreements.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da se pomoč za tekoče poslovanje glede na prakso odločanja Komisije redko razglasi za združljivo z notranjim trgom, saj običajno izkrivlja konkurenčne pogoje v sektorjih, v katerih je dodeljena.
The marketing services agreements generally stipulate annual or total fixed amounts.
Ukrepi, sprejeti pred začetkom veljavnosti smernic iz leta 2005
The agreement signed with Ryanair in 2003 for the Pau-London route involved a particular arrangement, namely an initial payment, with annual payments per passenger up to an annual maximum of EUR 400 000.
To vprašanje se je v bistvu postopoma pojavilo zaradi vse večjih zastojev na nekaterih velikih evropskih letališčih in razvoja nizkocenovnih letalskih prevoznikov, ki leta 1994 še niso obstajali.
Given the traffic forecasts associated with the 2003 agreement, based on a load factor of 85 %, the MEO would seemingly have expected this maximum of EUR 400 000 to be reached.
Zato Komisija meni, da smernic iz leta 1994 prav tako ni mogoče uporabiti za ta primer.
The Commission has therefore used this maximum amount as the cost of the marketing services, in addition to the initial payment defined in the agreement.
Torej mora združljivost obravnavane pomoči oceniti neposredno na podlagi člena 107(3)(c) PDEU.
As with the traffic forecasts, the projected marketing payments do not necessarily represent the amounts actually paid, because certain events occurring after the agreements were signed may have resulted in deviations from these initial figures.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da je Komisija sčasoma izpopolnila oceno te vrste državne pomoči, čeprav se nekateri vidiki niso spremenili.
This is particularly the case where the agreement was terminated early.
Ti vidiki izhajajo iz splošnih načel, ki urejajo združljivost pomoči v skladu z navedeno določbo Pogodbe.
However, these events should not be taken into account when applying the MEO test because they postdate the signature of the agreements.
V skladu s tem je Komisija v odločbi o letališču Manchester iz junija 1999 ugotovila, da so znižanja letaliških pristojbin, odobrena na nediskriminatoren način kot časovno omejeni ukrepi za spodbujanje novih rut, združljiva s pravili o državni pomoči.
With regard to incremental investment costs, it should be noted that, according to France, no investment had to be made within Pau airport due to the various agreements under review.
pomoč mora prispevati k doseganju cilja v interesu Skupnosti, in sicer razvoja regionalnega letališča prek neto povečanja prometa na novih rutah,
As a result, and given that there is nothing to indicate that an MEO would have expected to have to make certain investments due to one or more of the agreements covered by the formal investigation procedure, no incremental investment cost has been taken into account in this analysis.
pomoč mora biti potrebna v smislu, da se ne dodeli za ruto, na kateri že deluje isti ali drug letalski prevoznik, ali za podobno ruto,
In the absence of a business plan for each agreement, the incremental operating costs that were foreseeable when the various agreements were signed are the most difficult category to determine.
pomoč mora imeti spodbujevalni učinek v smislu, da prispeva k razvoju dejavnosti, ki bo po določenem obdobju verjetno postala donosna, kar pomeni, da je pomoč časovno omejena,
In particular, the approach used for the non-aeronautical revenue, which involved using the airport’s total non-aeronautical revenue to determine the incremental non-aeronautical revenue per passenger, cannot be used for the operating costs.
pomoč mora biti sorazmerna, tj. znesek mora biti povezan z neto razvojem prometa, ter
Such an approach would involve considering the airport’s total operating costs, reduced to the number of passengers, as incremental costs.
pomoč mora biti dodeljena na podlagi preglednih in nediskriminatornih meril ter ne sme biti kombinirana z drugimi vrstami pomoči.
However, a significant proportion of an airport’s operating costs is fixed, which means that the total operating costs per passenger are likely to be markedly higher, in most cases, than the incremental costs associated with the signature of a new agreement generating additional traffic.
Smernice iz leta 2005 in nove smernice natančno opredeljujejo ta načela združljivosti, vendar še vedno velja, da lahko Komisija pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, dodeljeno letalskim prevoznikom, razglasi za združljivo, če ta prispeva k razvoju manjših letališč prek neto povečanja prometa na novih rutah, če je pomoč potrebna v smislu, da ni dodeljena za ruto, na kateri že deluje isti ali drug letalski prevoznik, ali za podobno ruto, če je pomoč časovno omejena in če bo ruta, za katero je pomoč dodeljena, verjetno postala donosna, če je znesek povezan z neto razvojem prometa, če je pomoč dodeljena na podlagi preglednih in nediskriminatornih meril ter če pomoč ni kombinirana z nobeno drugo vrsto pomoči.
In order to estimate the incremental operating costs, the Commission must use the airport operator’s analysis elements, as it is unable to estimate itself how a given agreement may influence the various airport cost items.
V zvezi s tem je Komisija v uvodni izjavi 140 sklepa o razširitvi postopka navedla, da bo združljivost teh ukrepov ocenila na podlagi vseh petih navedenih meril.
However, the only estimate that the Commission can use is in the Transavia business plan, in which the CCIPB estimated that the agreement signed with Transavia would result in an average incremental operating cost of EUR […] per additional passenger over the period of the Transavia business plan from 2006 to 2012.
Opozoriti je treba, da niti Francija niti zainteresirane tretje strani niso nasprotovale uporabi teh meril.
In the absence of anything better, the Commission considers that this figure is an acceptable basis for determining the impact of additional traffic on the airport’s operating costs.
Komisija meni, da je treba v tem primeru združljivost pogodbe iz leta 2003 in pogodb iz leta 2005 oceniti na podlagi navedenih splošnih načel.
The Commission has therefore used this figure in its assessment of the agreements signed with Ryanair and AMS, with indexation of 2 % per year from 2009, which lies in the middle of the 2006-2012 reference period.
Prispevek k razvoju manjših letališč prek neto povečanja prometa na novih rutah
Moreover, the Commission considers that this indexation is coherent with the indexation mentioned above in relation to revenues.
V obdobju 2003–2005 je letni promet na letališču Pau znašal približno 700 000 potnikov na leto.
The Commission notes that this estimate was made by the CCIPB before signing most of the agreements with Ryanair and AMS that are covered by the formal investigation procedure, and was therefore available when those agreements were signed.
Komisija meni, da je bilo letališče takrat majhno.
The only exceptions are the agreements signed with Ryanair and AMS in 2003 and 2005.
Komisija v zvezi z novo ruto Pau–London Stansted meni, da je pogodba iz leta 2003 vključevala uvedbo nove rute, za katero je bilo verjetno, da bo prinesla neto povečanje prometa.
These are examined in recitals 425 and 426.
Pogodbi iz leta 2005 pa sta vključevali nadaljevanje delovanja na isti ruti dve leti po njeni uvedbi, pri čemer se pogostost letov ni povečala.
The Commission notes that the Transavia business plan was prepared for a different airline from Ryanair.
Zato Komisija meni, da pogodbi iz leta 2005 ne izpolnjujeta pogoja v zvezi z neto povečanjem prometa.
However, the Commission considers that Transavia uses a ‘low-fare’ carrier economic model that is comparable to Ryanair’s and that, as a result, the incremental operating costs projected by an MEO would in all likelihood be similar, when reduced to the number of passengers, for both airlines.
Pomoč ni dodeljena za ruto, na kateri že deluje isti ali drug letalski prevoznik, ali za podobno ruto
The Transavia business plan dates from 15 December 2005 It therefore postdates the signature of the 2003 and 2005 agreements with Ryanair and AMS, namely 28 January 2003 and 30 June 2005.
Ko je družba Ryanair leta 2003 uvedla ruto Pau–London Stansted, na tej ni deloval noben letalski prevoznik.
However, the Commission considers that an MEO would not have estimated different incremental operating costs per passenger for June 2005 and December 2005, i.e. only 6 months later.
Vendar sta se pogodbi iz leta 2005 nanašali na isto ruto Pau–London Stansted.
It is actually highly unlikely that the cost structure of an airport operator would alter considerably over a 6-month period.
Pomoč mora biti časovno omejena in obstajati mora verjetnost, da bo zadevna ruta postala donosna
The December 2005 estimate is therefore an acceptable approximation of the estimate that an MEO would have made in June 2005 in order to assess the value in signing agreements with Ryanair and AMS.
Komisija poudarja, da Francija kljub temu, da je bila pozvana k temu, ni predložila nobene študije donosnosti za ruto Pau–London, zajeto v pogodbah iz let 2003 in 2005, ki bi jo predložila družba Ryanair kot dokaz, da je bila pomoč, dodeljena z obravnavanimi pogodbami, upravičena.
The 2003 agreement was signed nearly 3 years before the Transavia business plan was prepared.
Glede na to in na podlagi zabeleženih dejstev se zdi, da organi, ki so dodelili obravnavano pomoč, niso imeli jasnih pričakovanj, da bo ruta Pau–London postala donosna brez pomoči in v bolj ali manj kratkem roku.
However, the airport’s traffic structure and activities did not alter significantly over this 3-year period.
Komisija v zvezi s tem poudarja, da študije, ki so jih predložili francoski organi v zvezi z gospodarskimi koristmi rut, na katerih je delovala družba Ryanair, analizirajo možne učinke teh rut na razvoj regije, vendar ne vključujejo napovedi glede prihodnje donosnosti teh rut ali drugih rut, na katerih bi lahko družba Ryanair delovala v prihodnosti.
As a result, and in the absence of a better alternative, the Commission takes the view that the average incremental operating cost of EUR […] per passenger, with indexation of 2 % from 2009, is also appropriate for assessing the 2003 agreement.
Nasprotno analiza različnih pogodb, sklenjenih z družbo Ryanair, dokazuje, da naj bi se pomoč, dodeljena tej družbi za te rute, sčasoma povečala, celo po prenehanju pogodb iz leta 2003 in 2005, prav zato, da bi bile te rute dovolj donosne, da bi družba Ryanair še naprej delovala na njih.
The Commission notes that the incremental operating cost proposed by France (EUR […] per passenger), calculated as the average of the operating costs per passenger observed over the 2003-2011 period, is markedly above the incremental cost per passenger used by the Commission, which the latter deems to be more relevant given the above findings.
Čeprav so bili ti ukrepi časovno omejeni, Komisija ugotavlja, da petletno obdobje trajanja vsake pogodbe ni bilo potrebno ali sorazmerno s stroški, nastalimi zaradi uvedbe nove rute, saj v letalskem sektorju običajno zadostuje pogodbeno obdobje, krajše od treh let.
For each transaction, the incremental operating cost per passenger is multiplied by the projected incremental traffic in order to determine, year by year, the total incremental operating cost associated with the agreement.
Komisija zato meni, da pogodba iz leta 2003 in pogodbi iz leta 2005 ne izpolnjujejo pogoja, da morajo biti ukrepi časovno omejeni in vključevati verjetnost, da bodo rute postale donosne.
Presentation of the results for the agreements signed with Ryanair and AMS
Znesek mora biti povezan z neto razvojem prometa
Having therefore determined, for each agreement, all the incremental revenues and all the incremental costs that an MEO would have predicted, the Commission is in a position to determine, for each agreement and year by year over the planned term of the agreement, the discounted incremental flows (revenues less costs).
Pogodba iz leta 2003 je bila povezana z uvedbo nove dnevne rute med letališčema Pau in London, za katero Komisija ocenjuje, da bi skupni letni promet na njej lahko dosegel 117 275 potnikov (glej preglednico 7).
These results are presented in Tables 6 to 11 below.
Ta pogodba je bila torej povezana z neto povečanjem števila potnikov, saj ta ruta prej ni obstajala.
The Commission notes that, for all the agreements and for the amendment of 16 June 2009 to the 2005 agreement for the Pau-London route, all the annual incremental flows are negative, as indicated in the following tables, despite the assumptions favourable to Ryanair that the Commission has used, particularly with regard to the incremental traffic and incremental costs.
Pogodbi iz leta 2005 pa nista bili povezani z uvedbo nove rute, ampak z nadaljevanjem delovanja na obstoječi ruti Pau–London brez povečanja pogostosti letov.
