However, as the agreement was signed between the CCIPB and Ryanair or its subsidiary, the consultant takes the view that any benefits to the region must be excluded from the analysis of the agreement.
za trženje mesta Pau prek internetnih povezav, objavljenih za zbornico na spletnem mestu družbe Ryanair, oglaševanja ugodnih vozovnic za lete v Pau in iz njega v tiskanih medijih ter drugih sredstev po izbiri družbe Ryanair, kot so oglaševanje na radiu, na prostem in na televiziji, zbornica družbi Ryanair plača enajst eurov (11,00 EUR) na potnika, ki z njo leti z letališča Pau, pri čemer se skupni znesek plača mesečno za nazaj in/ali se odšteje od plačil, ki jih mora družba Ryanair plačati zbornici v skladu s klavzulo 2(b), skupna letna vsota teh plačil pa je omejena na štiristo tisoč eurov (400 000,00 EUR) na leto za vsakodnevne povratne lete.
According to the consultant, the incongruity between the highly volatile nature of the online marketing market and the AMS fixed rate card also calls into question this undertaking’s true purpose.
Ta pogodba velja samo za ruto Pau–London za najmanj en let na dan, 364 dni na leto.
According to Ryanair, the agreement with AMS is optional and airport operators would not sign it if it had no commercial value.
Če se ruta Pau–London razvije v tolikšni meri, da se na njej opravlja več letov na dan, zbornica ne plača nobenega dodatka.
However, the consultant wonders about the pressure exerted by Ryanair during negotiations with the airport concerning the operation of routes, particularly when several nearby airports (for example Tarbes and Biarritz for Pau) are in competition to attract Ryanair.
Če pogodbenici v medsebojnem soglasju uvedeta druge rute v Nemčijo, Belgijo, Irsko ali Italijo, se sklene nova različica te pogodbe z enakim plačilom za uvedbo rute v višini osemdeset tisoč eurov (80 000,00 EUR) in plačilom največ štiristo tisoč eurov (400 000,00 EUR) na leto, izračunanim na podlagi tarife v višini enajst eurov (11,00 EUR) na potnika, ki leti z letališča.
According to the consultant, all these factors indicate that Ryanair’s strategy underlying the signature of marketing services agreements is to obtain a subsidy from the airport to keep its prices low.
Za vsako novo ruto se sklene nova pogodba ali sprememba te pogodbe“.
MARKETING SERVICES AGREEMENTS SIGNED WITH TRANSAVIA
V Prilogi A k pogodbi so navedene storitve zemeljske oskrbe in povezane storitve, ki se izvajajo za lete družbe Ryanair.
The consultant also examined a marketing services agreement signed between the CCIPB and the airline Transavia in 2006.
Priloga B vsebuje določbe o nalogah letališča na področjih odnosov z javnostmi, prodaje in trženja.
This agreement is not covered by the opening decision.
V delu, ki se nanaša na prodajo in trženje, je navedeno zlasti naslednje:
AIRPORT SERVICES AGREEMENTS
„Letališče družbi Ryanair zagotovi podporo in pomoč pri prodaji med občasnimi prodajnimi dejavnostmi v ciljnem območju letališča, vključno z zagotovitvijo brezplačne uporabe pisarne ter telefonske in faks linije za osebje družbe Ryanair.
The consultant analysed a number of airport services agreements signed between the CCIPB and various airlines (namely Ryanair, Air France and Transavia) during the period between 2003 and 2005.
Zaposleni letališča spremljajo vse možnosti za ugodno oglaševanje (na prostem, v časopisih, na televiziji, na radiu in drugo), ki se jim zdijo dobra priložnost za družbo Ryanair v njihovi regiji“.
According to the consultant, the prices of airport services are determined as follows:
Upravno sodišče v Pauju je 3. maja 2005 razveljavilo to pogodbo zaradi naslednjih razlogov:
regulated charges (lighting charge, landing charge, parking charge and passenger charge) are set out in a price list applicable to all the airlines.
Ob upoštevanju nejasnosti obveznosti družbe Ryanair Limited v smislu promocije mesta Pau v tujini kot turistične destinacije in dejstva, da ni določb o polnem ali delnem vračilu plačanih zneskov v primeru, da zastavljeni cilji niso doseženi, neravnovesje […], ugotovljeno med vzajemnimi obveznostmi pogodbenic, pomeni, da se sporna odločitev šteje za finančno pomoč v korist družbe Ryanair Limited.
The applicable charge is updated every year using a rate that depends on negotiations within the airport’s economic advisory committee.
Sporna odločitev, s katero je bila odobrena pogodba, na podlagi katere je bila družbi Ryanair Limited dodeljena finančna pomoč, je nezakonita in jo je treba razveljaviti, saj ni bila predhodno priglašena Komisiji Evropskih skupnosti.
According to the consultant, the regulated charges cannot therefore differ between the airlines.
Sodišče je zato sklenilo, da pogodba pomeni finančno pomoč družbi Ryanair.
According to the consultant, non-regulated charges (for groundhandling services) vary by airline and depend on bilateral commercial negotiations.
To pogodbo iz leta 2003 sta zato nadomestili pogodbi iz leta 2005, ki sta zajeti v sklepu o začetku formalnega postopka preiskave.
The consultant compared the non-regulated services invoiced to Ryanair with the same services invoiced to other airlines (Air France and Transavia).
POGODBI IZ LETA 2005
This comparison is based on both the nature of the services and the price applied.
Regionalna računovodska zbornica Akvitanije (Chambre Régionale des Comptes d’Aquitaine, v nadaljnjem besedilu: CRC) je proučila pogodbi iz leta 2005.
The consultant found that the groundhandling services covered by the agreements of these two airlines seem to be duly provided and that there is a real difference in the nature of the services provided to the various airlines.
Končno poročilo CRC o zbornici, ki se je nanašalo na obdobje od poslovnega leta 2001 naprej, je bilo obravnavano 19. oktobra 2006.
Air France receives a more comprehensive package of services.
Del tega poročila se nanaša na pomoč, dodeljeno nizkocenovnemu letalskemu prevozniku (poglavje 3 poročila).
Ryanair benefits from a lower flat-rate charge (but for more services) than Transavia.
Pred pripravo tega poročila je CRC proučila pogodbo o storitvah trženja.
However, according to the consultant, who compared the flat-rate charges applied to Ryanair and Transavia and the charge applied to Air France for comparable services with a comparable joint service, Ryanair benefits from a lower charge (EUR […]) than that applied to Air France (EUR […]) or Transavia (EUR […]).
V svojem končnem poročilu je navedla predvsem naslednje pripombe:
The price paid is seemingly around […] % of that paid by other airlines.
„Da bi se gospodarska zbornica izognila učinkom sklepa upravnega sodišča, [v katerem je sodišče sklenilo, da pogodba z družbo Ryanair iz leta 2003 pomeni nezakonito državno pomoč] je uporabila nov pravni okvir.“
According to France, the comparison of airport services (non-regulated services) made by the consultant does not correctly summarise the results of the various negotiations conducted by the CCIPB.
„Družba AMS je preprosto veja družbe Ryanair, ki jo vodita dva vodstvena delavca družbe Ryanair.“
France cites a number of examples justifying this charging, in particular where Ryanair does not benefit from certain services offered to Air France.
„Ob upoštevanju obrazložitve upravnih sodišč (Upravno sodišče v Strasbourgu, 24. julij 2003, Brit Air proti Gospodarski zbornici Strasbourga in departmaja Bas-Rhin; Prizivno upravno sodišče v Strasbourgu, 18. december 2003, Gospodarska zbornica Strasbourga in departmaja Bas-Rhin proti družbi Brit Air) je neravnovesje med obveznostmi pogodbenic jasno.
MEASURES COVERED BY THE EXTENSION DECISION
Oglaševanje na spletnem mestu koristi tudi družbi Ryanair in ne more biti neposredno nadomestilo za finančne obveznosti zbornice.“
The Commission took the view that the formal investigation procedure needed to be extended and that all the agreements signed by the CCIPB with AMS and Ryanair should be examined for the entire period during which Ryanair operated from Pau airport (2003 to 2011) in order to determine whether the agreements that the CCIPB signed with AMS and Ryanair constituted State aid.
Glede na poročilo CRC je bilo ugotovljeno neravnovesje med vzajemnimi obveznostmi pogodbenic.
These measures are detailed below in Sections 4.1 to 4.3.
Zaključek poročila se glasi:
AGREEMENTS SIGNED BY THE CCIPB WITH AMS AND RYANAIR
„Na podlagi presoje pristojnega sodišča meni, da ta pogodba o storitvah dejansko pomeni finančno pomoč družbi Ryanair in je nezakonita, saj ta pomoč ni bila predhodno priglašena Komisiji.“
The extension decision covers various agreements signed by the CCIPB with AMS and Ryanair between 2003 and 2011.
V poročilu sta obravnavani tudi učinkovitost pomoči (poglavje 3.2) in njena uspešnost (poglavje 3.3).
AGREEMENT OF 28 JANUARY 2003
V njem je navedeno, da ruta Pau–London Stansted nedvomno vpliva na gospodarstvo v regiji Béarn:
The agreement signed on 28 January 2003 was entered into between the CCIPB and Ryanair directly (and not with AMS).
Cilj 50 000 potnikov na letih iz Londona, ki je bil zastavljen leta 2003, je bil skoraj dosežen v drugem letu delovanja.
This agreement contains provisions on airport services and marketing services.
Glede na študijo, ki jo je gospodarska zbornica izvedla leta 2005, gospodarski vpliv rute očitno znaša skoraj 8 milijonov EUR na leto.
Article 2 of this agreement sets out Ryanair’s obligations towards the CCIPB as well as the amount of the airport charges.
Za opredelitev tega vpliva je bil vzpostavljen forum, na katerem so bile zastopane gospodarske dejavnosti, povezane s turizmom.
Article 3 of the agreement stipulates the CCIPB’s obligations and indicates, in particular, that the latter must carry out the following at its own expense:
Približno 700 strokovnjakov iz Béarna je bilo vprašanih o prispevku britanskih strank k njihovim prihodkom.
‘provide or procure the provision of airport terminal/infrastructure services for the Services as more particularly set out in Annex A attached hereto;
Prispevek rute k povečanju skupnega števila britanskih turistov, ki obiščejo Béarn, je bil ocenjen na podlagi raziskave o potnikih in podatkov odbora departmaja za turizem.
perform such public relations and marketing functions as more particularly set out in Annex B attached hereto;
V zvezi z učinkovitostjo pomoči je v poročilu navedeno, da so skupni stroški rute za gospodarsko zbornico za leto 2004 ob upoštevanju prihodkov, ustvarjenih prek te dejavnosti, ocenjeni na približno 360 000 EUR.
pay Ryanair the sum of eighty thousand euros (EUR 80 000,00) on a “one-off” basis to launch this new route after the signature of the contract.
CRC se sprašuje, ali bi lahko zbornica dosegla enake rezultate v smislu gospodarskega razvoja regije Béarn, če bi družbi Ryanair dodelila manj finančne pomoči.
In consideration of the marketing of Pau through internet links provided to CCIPB on Ryanair’s website, through the advertising of low fares to and from Pau in the print media, and through other means such as radio, outdoor and television advertising as selected by Ryanair, CCIPB shall pay Ryanair the sum of eleven euros (EUR 11,00) per passenger departing from Pau Airport on the Services monthly in arrears and/or credited against payments due from Ryanair to CCIPB under the provisions of Clause 2(b) above but limited to four hundred thousand euros (EUR 400 000,00) per annum per daily rotation of the Services.
V zvezi s tem se poročilo sklicuje na pravila o združljivosti iz Smernic Skupnosti iz leta 2005 o financiranju letališč in zagonski državni pomoči letalskim družbam z odhodi z regionalnih letališč (v nadaljnjem besedilu: smernice iz leta 2005).
This Agreement holds only for the Pau-London route on the minimum basis of one flight per day, and 364 days per annum.
Zaključek poročila v zvezi s tem je, da se ta pravila niso upoštevala.
If the Pau-London route develops to the extent that there are several frequencies per day, CCIPB shall not pay any supplement.
POGODBE, KI JIH JE LETALIŠČE SKLENILO Z DRUŽBAMA AMS IN RYANAIR PO LETU 2005
If, of a common accord, other routes develop to Germany, Belgium, Ireland or Italy, this Agreement would be replicated with the same launch payment of eighty thousand euros (EUR 80 000,00), and a maximum of four hundred thousand euros (EUR 400 000,00) per annum, calculated on the basis of eleven euros (EUR 11,00) per departing passenger.
Francoski organi so navedli naslednje pogodbe in spremembe pogodb iz leta 2005, ki jih je zbornica sklenila z družbama AMS in Ryanair po letu 2005:
Each new route shall form the subject of a new Agreement or of an amendment to this Agreement’.
pogodba o storitvah trženja, sklenjena 25. septembra 2007 za začetno obdobje petih let od datuma podpisa, v zvezi s katero sta se pogodbenici dogovorili, da se bosta „sestali in se pogovorili o možnosti nadaljnjega sodelovanja med zbornico in družbo AMS […] vsaj šest mesecev pred iztekom začetnega obdobja“.
Annex A to the Agreement provides a list of the groundhandling and related services applicable to flights operated by Ryanair.
Ta promocija je povezana z delovanjem na ruti Pau–Charleroi, na kateri naj bi se opravljali trije leti na teden za vsako polno leto delovanja.
Annex B contains provisions on the public relations, sales and marketing functions of the airport.
Ta pogodba je bila 16. junija 2009 spremenjena z izmenjavo pisem, s katerimi je bilo plačilo za promocijo zvišano na […] EUR z učinkom od 1. januarja 2009 brez spremembe storitev,
The part on sales and marketing states in particular:
sprememba pogodbe o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2005 je bila uvedena v obliki pisma zbornice z dne 25. septembra 2007, s katerim je zbornica sprejela uporabo pogojev, določenih v pogodbi o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2005, za ruto Pau–Charleroi za obdobje petih let,
‘Airport to provide sales support and assistance to assist Ryanair during periodic sales missions in the catchment area of the Airport, including free use of an office, phone and fax lines for the Ryanair team.
sprememba pogodbe o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2005 je bila uvedena v obliki pisma zbornice z dne 17. marca 2008, s katerim je zbornica sprejela uporabo pogojev, določenih v pogodbi o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2005, za ruto Pau–Bristol za obdobje enega leta,
Airport to monitor all opportunities for budget advertising (outdoor, newspapers, TV, radio and other) that the Airport sees in their region as a good opportunity for Ryanair’.
pogodba o storitvah trženja, sklenjena 31. marca 2008 za obdobje od 16. maja 2008 do 13. septembra 2008, v zvezi s katero sta se pogodbenici dogovorili, da se bosta „sestali in se pogovorili o možnosti nadaljnjega sodelovanja med zbornico in družbo AMS […] vsaj tri mesece pred iztekom začetnega obdobja“.
This agreement was declared void by Pau Administrative Court on 3 May 2005 for the following reasons:
Promocijske dejavnosti, zajete v tej pogodbi, so povezane z zavezo družbe Ryanair, da bo na ruti Pau–Bristol v istem obdobju opravljala tri lete na teden.
The imbalance … identified between the reciprocal undertakings of the parties to the agreement, having regard to the vagueness of Ryanair Limited’s obligations in terms of promoting abroad the town of Pau as a tourism destination and to the fact that there is no provision for a refund, even in part, of the sums paid if the objectives set out are not achieved, means that the decision in dispute is regarded as constituting financial aid to the benefit of Ryanair Limited.
Zbornica družbi AMS plača […] EUR za osem dni prisotnosti povezave na spletno mesto po izbiri zbornice na angleški domači strani spletnega mesta www.ryanair.com,
The decision in dispute, which approves the agreement granting financial aid to the benefit of Ryanair Limited, is, in the absence of prior notification of the said decision to the Commission of the European Communities, unlawful and must be declared void.
po razpravah 15. junija 2009 je zbornica pooblastila svojega predsednika, da znesek iz pogodbe o storitvah trženja iz leta 2005 omeji na […] EUR za leto 2009, ta omejitev pa je bila povezana z zmanjšanjem števila letov, ki jih je družba Ryanair načrtovala za ruto Pau–London, na 211,
Pau Administrative Court found in its judgment of 3 May 2005 that the CCIPB, which operates Pau airport, had undertaken to pay Ryanair, without any consideration, EUR 80 000 to launch its London Stansted-Pau route in 2003.
sprememba pogodbe o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2005 je bila uvedena s pismom zbornice z dne 16. junija 2009, s katerim je zbornica sprejela uporabo pogojev, določenih v pogodbi o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2005, za ruto Pau–Bristol za poletno sezono leta 2009,
The CCIPB had also undertaken to pay EUR 11 per passenger to Ryanair, up to an annual limit of EUR 400 000, as consideration for activities intended to promote the town of Pau.
pogodba o storitvah trženja, ki je bila sklenjena 16. junija 2009 za obdobje od 1. aprila 2009 do 24. oktobra 2009 in se lahko podaljša s soglasjem pogodbenic tri mesece pred njenim iztekom.
This 2003 agreement was therefore replaced by the two 2005 agreements covered by the decision opening the formal investigation procedure.
pogodba o storitvah trženja, sklenjena 28. januarja 2010 „za začetno obdobje, ki se začne na dan podpisa pogodbe in se konča eno leto po začetku izvajanja prve storitve“ ter se lahko „podaljša za eno leto“.
2005 AGREEMENTS
Promocijske dejavnosti, zajete v tej pogodbi, so povezane z ruto Pau–London Stansted, na kateri naj bi se od 30. marca 2010 opravljali trije leti na teden ali skupno najmanj 220 letov, ruto Pau–Charleroi, na kateri naj bi se od istega datuma opravljali trije leti na teden ali skupno najmanj 100 letov, in ruto Pau–Beauvais, na kateri naj bi se od aprila 2010 opravljali trije leti na teden ali skupno vsaj 100 letov.
The 2005 agreements were examined by the Aquitaine Regional Audit Chamber (hereinafter ‘the CRC’).
Zbornica družbi AMS plača […] EUR za 25 ali 45 dni prisotnosti povezave na spletno mesto po izbiri zbornice na angleški, belgijski, nizozemski in francoski domači strani spletnega mesta www.ryanair.com.
The CRC’s final comments report on the CCIPB was discussed on 19 October 2006 and concerned the financial years from 2001 onwards.
Storitve, ki jih ponuja družba AMS, in finančni pogoji zanje so določeni v členu 3 različnih pogodb o storitvah trženja.
Part of this report concerns the aid granted to a low-fare airline (Chapter 3 of the report).
Po navedbah francoskih organov po aprilu 2010, ko se je iztekla pogodba o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2005, ni bila podpisana nobena nova pogodba o letaliških storitvah.
Prior to this report, the CRC examined the marketing services agreement.
Pristojbine, zaračunane družbi Ryanair od aprila 2010 do aprila 2011, so bile torej regulirane pristojbine, ki jih je sprejel ekonomski svetovalni odbor, in pristojbine, določene v pogodbi iz leta 2005 za storitve zemeljske oskrbe, saj so bila pogajanja o novi pogodbi neuspešna.
In its final comments report, the CRC made the following comments in particular:
Francoski organi so navedli, da je bila sklenjena samo nova pogodba o storitvah trženja.
‘In order to sidestep the effects of the Administrative Court’s decision [concluding that the 2003 agreement with Ryanair resulted in unlawful State aid], the Chamber of Commerce and Industry has resorted to a new legal framework.’
Po navedbah Francije sta bili ruti Pau–London in Pau–Charleroi, ki sta zajeti v pogodbi o letaliških storitvah, uvedeni 30. marca 2010, ruta Pau–Beauvais, zajeta v isti pogodbi, pa aprila 2010.
‘AMS is simply an offshoot of Ryanair, managed by two senior Ryanair executives.’
Preglednica 2
‘Using the reasoning given by the administrative courts (Strasbourg Administrative Court, 24 July 2003, Brit Air v Strasbourg and Bas-Rhin Chamber of Commerce and Industry; Strasbourg Administrative Appeal Court, 18 December 2003, Strasbourg and Bas-Rhin Chamber of Commerce and Industry v Brit Air), the imbalance between the undertakings of the parties to the agreement is clear.
Subvencije, ki jih je prejela družba AMS ali Ryanair za posamezno ruto, na kateri so se opravljali leti
According to the comments report, an imbalance ... has been identified between the reciprocal undertakings of the parties to the agreement.
(v tisoč EUR)
The report states that, despite the arguments put forward by AMS and Ryanair, the CRC maintains its position.
Subvencija, ki jo je prejela družba AMS ali Ryanair za posamezno ruto, na kateri so se opravljali leti
It concludes as follows:
Pau—London
‘Subject to the appraisal of the competent court, it considers that this services agreement actually constitutes financial aid to Ryanair and that it is unlawful, given that this aid has not been previously notified to the Commission.’
Skupni znesek plačil družbi AMS ali Ryanair
It states that the economic impact of the Pau-London Stansted route on the Béarn region is indisputable:
Pogodbenici sta jo aprila 2009 tiho podaljšali, oktobra 2009 pa sta jo prekinili zaradi odločitve družbe Transavia, da preneha opravljati svoje storitve.
‘The target of 50 000 passengers flying from London that was set in 2003 has almost been achieved in the second year of operation.
Ta pogodba določa plačila za storitve trženja v višini 250 000 EUR za prvi dve leti in 156 odhodnih letov na leto.
According to a study conducted by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in 2005, the economic impact of the route is apparently close to EUR 8 million per year.
Če je število letov manjše od 156 na leto, je treba plačilo sorazmerno prilagoditi.
A panel representing the economic activities linked to tourism has been formed to measure this impact.
Za tretje leto pogodba določa plačilo […] EUR na potnika, ki leti z letališča (pri čemer je letna vsota omejena na […] EUR).
The CRC questions whether the CCIPB could achieve the same result in terms of the economic development of Béarn by granting less financial aid to Ryanair.
Francija je z dopisom z dne 30. maja 2011 Komisiji predložila povzetek podatkov o vseh subvencijah, ki so bile letališču dodeljene iz javnih sredstev.
In this context, the report refers to the compatibility rules set out in the 2005 Community guidelines on financing of airports and start-up aid to airlines departing from regional airports (hereinafter the ‘2005 Guidelines’).
Ukrepi, zajeti v razširjenem postopku, so opisani v uvodnih izjavah 88 do 107.
The report concludes in this respect that these rules have not been observed.
Po navedbah Francije letališče ne prejema nobenih državnih sredstev ali državne pomoči za uravnoteženje poslovnih računov letališča.
AGREEMENTS SIGNED BY THE AIRPORT WITH AMS AND RYANAIR AFTER 2005
Da bi se ti prispevki ocenili na podlagi veljavnih določb o državni pomoči, je treba razlikovati med subvencijami za „opremo“, ki so jih izplačali različni javni subjekti, in subvencijami, ki jih je dodelila država za pokritje stroškov, ki po navedbah francoskih organov izhajajo iz državnih nalog.
According to the French authorities, the various agreements or amendments to the 2005 agreements signed by the CCIPB with AMS and Ryanair after 2005 are as follows:
Letališče Pau-Pyrénées – finančni prispevki, ki jih je letališče prejelo od različnih javnih subjektov v obdobju 2000–2010
A marketing services agreement signed on 25 September 2007 for an initial term of 5 years from its date of signature, with the two parties agreeing to ‘meet to discuss the possibility of the continuation of the cooperation between CCIPB and AMS’ ‘at least 6 months prior to the expiry of the initial term’.
Vrsta subvencije
This promotion is linked to the operation of a Pau-Charleroi route with three flights per week per full year of operation.
Državna subvencija iz sklada FIATA (državne naloge)
In return for a link to the website designated by the CCIPB on the Belgian and Dutch homepage of the Ryanair website (www.ryanair.com), the CCIPB pays AMS the sum of EUR […] per year.
Državna subvencija za opremo (državna pomoč za naložbe)
This agreement was amended by an exchange of correspondence on 16 June 2009 increasing the promotion effort to EUR […] from 1 January 2009 without any change to the services.
