In this regard, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines provide a framework for assessing whether aid to airports may be declared compatible pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
V skladu s točko 172 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 bo Komisija ta merila uporabila za vse zadeve v zvezi s pomočjo za tekoče poslovanje, vključno z nerešenimi prijavami in nezakonitimi nepriglašenimi pomočmi.
According to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission considers that the Commission notice on the determination of the applicable rules for the assessment of unlawful State aid [57] applies to unlawful investment aid to airports.
Da bi se lahko pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, ki je bila dodeljena pred objavo teh smernic, štela za združljivo z notranjim trgom, morajo biti v skladu s točko 137 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 izpolnjeni kumulativni pogoji iz oddelka 5.1.2 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014, razen točk 115, 119, 121, 122, 123, od 126 do 130, 132, 133 in 134.
The Commission has concluded that the 1991 PLTA constitutes an unlawful State aid scheme.
spodbujevalni učinek: ta pogoj je izpolnjen, če bi se brez pomoči za tekoče poslovanje in ob upoštevanju možnega obstoja pomoči za naložbe ter ravni prometa raven gospodarske dejavnosti zadevnega letališča verjetno znatno znižala [70];
Hence, the Commission will apply the 2005 Aviation Guidelines to investment aid granted before 4 April 2014 and the 2014 Aviation Guidelines to operating aid granted before 4 April 2014.
sorazmernost zneska pomoči (pomoč omejena na najmanjšo potrebno): da bi bila pomoč za tekoče poslovanje sorazmerna, mora biti omejena na najmanjšo potrebno, da se dejavnost z dodeljeno pomočjo izvede [71];
DISTINCTION BETWEEN INVESTMENT AND OPERATING AID
izogibanje neupravičenim negativnim učinkom na konkurenco in trgovino [72].
In view of the provisions of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission has to determine whether the measure in question constitutes unlawful investment or operating aid.
Prispevek k natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa
According to point 25 (18) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines investment aid is defined as ‘aid to finance fixed capital assets, specifically, to cover the capital costs funding gap’.
V skladu z oddelkom 5.1.2(a) smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 se z namenom, da se letališčem omogoči dovolj časa, da se prilagodijo novim tržnim razmeram, ter da se preprečijo motnje v zračnem prometu in povezljivosti regij, šteje, da pomoč za tekoče poslovanje prispeva k doseganju cilja skupnega interesa, če: (i) poveča mobilnost državljanov Unije in povezljivost regij z vzpostavitvijo točk za dostop za polete znotraj Unije; ali (ii) pomeni boj proti preobremenjenosti letalskega prevoza na velikih letaliških vozliščih Unije; ali (iii) spodbuja regionalni razvoj.
Moreover, according to point 25 of the Guidelines investment aid can relate both to an upfront payment (that is to say cover upfront investment costs) and to aid paid out in the form of periodic instalments (to cover capital costs, in terms of annual depreciation and costs of financing).
Komisija meni, da neprekinjeno obratovanje letališča Dortmund povečuje mobilnost državljanov Unije in povezljivost regij z vzpostavitvijo točk za dostop za polete znotraj Unije med Porurjem in drugimi deli Evrope, zlasti Vzhodno Evropo.
Operating aid, on the other hand, means aid which covers all or part of the operating costs of an airport, defined as ‘the underlying costs of the provision of airport services, including categories such as costs of personnel, contracted services, communications, waste, energy, maintenance, rent, administration, etc., but excluding the capital costs, marketing support or any other incentives granted to airlines by the airport, and costs falling within a public policy remit’ [60].
Poleg tega neprekinjeno obratovanje letališča Dortmund spodbuja regionalni razvoj Porurja.
In the light of the definitions cited in recitals 291 and 292, it can be considered that the loss transfers that covered the amounts mentioned in the last column 7 of the Table 23 were all linked to particular investment projects, constitute investment aid to FD.
Predvideno je tudi, da bosta obratovanje in razvoj letališča Dortmund omogočila razbremenitev letališča Düsseldorf, ko bo to doseglo zgornje meje zmogljivosti.
In contrast, the part of the annual loss transfers that was used to cover annul operating losses [61] of FD net of the costs included that fall within a public policy remit as established in recitals 190-207 constitute operating aid to FD.
Nadalje je treba opredeliti verjetne učinke na promet na letališčih v istem gravitacijskem območju, da bi se preprečilo podvajanje nedonosnih letališč.
Finally, the part of the loss compensation that covers losses of FD that are not already included in the EBITDA, minus costs falling within a public policy remit as established in recitals 190-207 constitute investment aid.
V zvezi s tem je v smernicah za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 gravitacijsko območje opredeljeno kot geografska tržna meja, ki je običajno določena na približno 100 kilometrov ali 60 minut vožnje z avtomobilom, avtobusom, vlakom ali hitrim vlakom.
The investment aid includes in particular the annual depreciation of assets and costs of financing.
V smernicah za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 je hkrati dovoljeno tudi odstopanje od standardne opredelitve gravitacijskega območja določenega letališča, da bi se upoštevale posebnosti vsakega posameznega letališča.
COMPATIBILITY OF INVESTMENT AID
V zvezi s tem se lahko velikost in oblika gravitacijskega območja razlikujeta med letališči in sta odvisni od različnih značilnosti letališča, vključno z njegovim poslovnim modelom, lokacijo in letalskimi destinacijami, na katere opravlja lete.
According to point 61 of the 2005 Guidelines, the Commission must examine whether the following cumulative conditions are met:
Na standardnem gravitacijskem območju letališča Dortmund (1 ura vožnje z avtomobilom ali 100 kilometrov) so naslednja letališča z rednimi povezavami:
the construction and operation of the infrastructure meets a clearly defined objective of common interest (regional development, accessibility, etc.);
Preglednica 27
the infrastructure is necessary and proportional to the objective which has been set;
Letališča, ki pokrivajo isto gravitacijsko območje kot letališče Dortmund
the infrastructure has satisfactory medium-term prospects for use, in particular as regards the use of existing infrastructure;
Zadnje število potnikov na leto (milijoni)
all potential users of the infrastructure have access to it in an equal and non-discriminatory manner; and
Letališče Münster/Osnabrück
the development of trade is not affected to an extent contrary to the Union interest.
Letališče Düsseldorf
In addition, State aid to airports — as any other State aid measure — must have an incentive effect and be necessary and proportional in relation to the aimed legitimate objective in order to be compatible.
Letališče Paderborn/Lippstadt
Germany asserts that the investment aid in favour of FD complies with all the compatibility criteria contained in the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
Vsa štiri zadevna letališča so na metropolitanskem območju Porenja in Porurja z 11,4 milijona prebivalci.
The aid contributes to a clearly defined objective of common interest
To je eno najgosteje naseljenih območij v Evropi s skupno gostoto prebivalstva več kot 300 prebivalcev/km2 in z območji z več kot 2000 prebivalci/km2.
The financing of FD's infrastructure serves to finance mainly the completion of the existing infrastructure aimed at ensuring a better flow of traffic at the airport without increasing its overall capacity.
Letališče Dortmund je v središču Porurja, ki ima 5,2 milijona prebivalcev.
The investment aid contributed to steady flows of air traffic, which, according to the study prepared by Münster University contributed to the development of the surrounding region, and in particular, of the Ruhr area.
Za take koncentracije mestnega prebivalstva je običajno, da imajo več letališč.
Moreover, the airport provides for an important number of direct and indirect jobs as mentioned in recital 118.
BDP na prebivalca (pariteta kupne moči) v gravitacijskem območju je med 111 % in 137 % povprečja Unije, razpoložljivi letni dohodek na gospodinjstvo pa znaša približno 20000 EUR.
The financing of the investments also contributed to the accessibility of the region.
Gravitacijsko območje je torej ena bogatejših regij v Uniji.
Dortmund airport is located in the Rhine-Ruhr Metropolitan Area, one of the most densely populated areas in Europe.
Na vseh štirih letališčih prevladuje odhodni promet z mešanico prostočasnih in poslovnih potovanj.
Most of the passengers departing from Dortmund airport come from the Ruhr area with 5,2 million inhabitants.
Po navedbah Nemčije dejansko gravitacijsko območje letališča Dortmund ne ustreza standardnemu gravitacijskemu območju (1 h ali 100 km).
In this context, it is to be noted that there are three other airports with regular traffic within 100 km from the Dortmund airport: Düsseldorf, Paderborn/Lippstadt and Münster/Osnabrück airports.
Potniki prihajajo na letališče Dortmund večinoma iz Porurja, ki ima več kot 5,2 milijona prebivalcev.
However, FD is pursuing a different strategy than the neighbouring airports.
To so neposredna okolica Dortmunda ter območja vzhodno in severno od njega.
It concentrates its activities on low-cost connections.
Letališče ima zato manjši konkurenčni vpliv na letališče Düsseldorf.
More precisely, FD concentrates on destinations in the East of Europe (such as Turkey, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Rumania, Ukraine, Hungary, Bosnia, Croatia, Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia).
Poleg tega se je na podlagi napovedi prometa in študij tržnega potenciala, opravljenih leta 2006, pričakovalo, da bosta letališči Münster/Osnabrück in Paderborn/Lippstadt srednjeročno prav tako dosegli znatno rast.
These destinations cover almost 3
Kar zadeva stopnjo in razvoj prometa, je potniški promet v gravitacijskem območju med letoma 2002 in 2008 naraščal, od takrat pa stagnira.
of all flights departing from Dortmund airport.
Podoben razvoj je mogoče ugotoviti na letališču Düsseldorf, ki je najbližje letališču Dortmund.
None of the neighbouring airports offers these routes as regularly as FD.
Promet na letališču Düsseldorf je stalno naraščal s približno 16 milijonov leta 2000 na približno 22 milijonov leta 2013, leta 2009 pa zaradi finančne in gospodarske krize doživel le manjši popravek.
There are only four overlapping destinations between Dortmund airport on the one hand and Münster/Osnabrück and Paderborn/Lippstadt airports on the other, which concern Palma de Mallorca, Munich, Antalya and Burgas, during the summer season.
Preglednica 28
These elements indicate that Dortmund serves a different market segment from the neighbouring airport in terms of the type of traffic (point-to-point v low-cost connections) and the targeted destinations (eastern and south-eastern Europe).
Razvoj prometa na letališčih na gravitacijskem območju letališča Dortmund
Therefore, in spite of the existence of three other airports within 100 km distance, the financed investments at Dortmund airport contributed to the specific connectivity of the region, as well as to the regional development, which are objectives of common interest.
Spremembe v milijonih potnikov na leto
The Commission concludes that the investment aid served to enhance regional development and accessibility and that the infrastructure meets a clearly defined objective of common interest.
Število potnikov na leto 2013–število potnikov na leto 2001
The infrastructure is necessary and proportionate to the objective
Kar zadeva poslovne modele in profile letališč, se je družba FD od uvedbe programa NERES leta 2004 osredotočila na nizkocenovne letalske prevoznike.
The financed investments did not lead to an increase in capacity of Dortmund airport.
Danes na letališču Dortmund deluje 13 letalskih prevoznikov.
The constructed infrastructure was necessary for the airport in order to serve the connectivity and the development of the region.
Düsseldorf je letališko vozlišče, ki ima tudi dolge in srednje dolge povezave.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the infrastructure in the case at stake was necessary and proportionate to the objective.
Ni specializirano za nizkocenovni segment, temveč je usmerjeno predvsem v srednji cenovni segment (Air Berlin) in prevoznike s celotnimi storitvami.
The infrastructure has satisfactory medium-term prospects for use
Letališče Düsseldorf ponuja 190 destinacij v 50 državah, ki jih je poleti 2014 pokrivalo 60 letalskih prevoznikov.
In 2008 the airport capacity of 2,5 million passengers per year was used at 93 %, after the decrease in 2009 due to the economic crisis and partial departure of some airlines the number of passengers was growing again and in 2013 the current infrastructure was used at 77 %.
Med njimi je veliko prog na dolge razdalje, kot so Afrika, Azija, Karibi, ZDA in Bližnji vzhod.
Moreover the forecasts made in 2008 foresaw reaching the capacity limits of the airport already in 2017/2018.
Letališči Paderborn/Lippstadt in Münster/Osnabrück sta bili osredotočeni predvsem na povezave do vozlišč in počitniških destinacij v Sredozemlju.
The Commission therefore considers that there were satisfactory medium-term prospects for the use of the infrastructure.
Samo letalski prevozniki Air Berlin, SunExpress, Germania in Tailwind delujejo hkrati na letališčih Dortmund, Paderborn/Lippstadt in Münster/Osnabrück.
Access to the infrastructure in an equal and non-discriminatory manner
Njihov prispevek k skupnemu številu potnikov na letališču Dortmund je manj kot 20 %.
The Commission examined whether all potential users of the infrastructure have access to the airport in an equal and non-discriminatory manner.
Komisija v zvezi s stopnjo podvajanja prog ugotavlja, da je letališče Dortmund osredotočeno na destinacije v Vzhodni Evropi (Turčija, Makedonija, Bolgarija, Srbija, Romunija, Ukrajina, Madžarska, Bosna, Hrvaška, Poljska, Litva, Latvija), ki obsegajo skoraj tri četrtine vseh odhajajočih letov z letališča Dortmund.
In this regard, the Commission notes that the differentiation of airport charges pursuant to NERES and NEO as well as pursuant to the individual agreements is commercially justified (see Sections 7.3 and 7.4).
Po navedbah Nemčije to ustreza posebnemu povpraševanju na območju v okolici Dortmunda.
Hence, the Commission can conclude that the infrastructure is open to all users in an equal and non-discriminatory manner.
Nobeno od letališč v gravitacijskem območju letališča Dortmund ne ponuja rednih prog v več navedenih destinacij v Vzhodni Evropi.
Trade is not affected contrary to common interest
Prekrivajoče se destinacije letališč Dortmund, Münster/Osnabrück in Paderborn/Lippstadt so Palma de Mallorca, München, Antalija in Burgas (ki se na letališču Dortmund na voljo samo v poletni sezoni).
Within the standard catchment area of Dortmund airport (one hour's travelling time by car or 100 km) the airports Düsseldorf, Münster/Osnabrück and Paderborn/Lippstadt are also to be found.
Preglednica 29
This region is one of the most densely populated areas as well as one of the richer regions in the Union.
Prekrivajoče se destinacije letališč Dortmund, Münster/Osnabrück in Paderborn/Lippstadt
The Commission observes that since 2004 the overall number of air passengers was growing in this region, except in 2009 during the aftermath of the financial crisis.
Število letov na dan (povprečno)
Moreover, since 2004 (that is to say the year of the introduction of NERES) Dortmund airport concentrated more strongly on low-cost traffic, whereas the other neighbouring airports followed a different strategy.
1 (5 ob nedeljah)
Düsseldorf airport is an international and intercontinental hub, while Münster/Osnabrück and Paderborn/Lippstadt airports concentrate on feeder traffic to German hub airports, such as Frankfurt or Munich.
3 (vozlišče)
Airlines serving all the three airports Dortmund, Münster/Osnabrück and Paderborn/Lippstadt account for less than 20 % of passengers in Dortmund.
München
About three quarters of the destinations from Dortmund airport are into eastern and south-eastern Europe.
5 (manj med tednom)
Only three destinations overlap between Dortmund airport, on the one hand, and Münster/Osnabrück and Paderborn/Lippstadt on the other.
4 (vozlišče)
Dortmund airport therefore significantly differs from the neighbouring airports in terms of target airlines as well as geographical locations.
Antalija
Moreover, the investments which received aid and were irrevocably decided after 2000 did not lead to the expansion of capacities at Dortmund airport, but rather concentrated on optimising the existing infrastructure and accessibility of the airport (see Table 3).
Na destinacije iz preglednice 29 se leti z vseh teh regionalnih letališč zaradi velikega lokalnega povpraševanja v Porenju in Porurju.
In the view of the abovementioned considerations, the Commission considers that trade is not affected to an extent contrary to the Community interest.
Kar zadeva uporabo zmogljivosti, ima letališče Dortmund trenutno približno 1,9 milijona potnikov letno in zmogljivosti za 2,5 milijona.
Incentive effect, necessity and proportionality
Letališče trenutno uporablja 76 % svojih zmogljivosti.
In the absence of investment aid, the level of economic activity of the airport would be significantly reduced since it were the investments that allowed the airport to increase the number of passengers as well as the revenues.
Po navedbah Nemčije se je od leta 2010 potniški promet na letališču povečal za približno 10 %.
The aid was necessary as it compensated only the costs actually incurred and as a lower amount would lead to lower levels of investment.
Pomoč za tekoče poslovanje ni omogočila širjenja zmogljivosti, temveč ohranjanje obstoječe zmogljivosti.
Conclusion
Poleg tega je najbližje letališče Düsseldorf eno od najbolj preobremenjenih evropskih letališč in naj bi srednjeročno (okoli leta 2020) doseglo svoje absolutne meje zmogljivosti.
The Commission finally concludes that the investment aid under the 1991 PLTA compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3) of the Treaty.
Letališče Dortmund bi torej moralo delovati kot sekundarno letališče Düsseldorfu.
COMPATIBILITY PURSUANT TO SGEI RULES
Komisija v zvezi z donosnostjo letališč v gravitacijskem območju ugotavlja, da so razen letališča Dortmund vsa druga letališča v gravitacijskem območju Dortmunda donosna na ravni poslovanja, zato pomoč ne bo povzročila podvajanja nedonosnih letališč.
Germany and other interested parties argue that public funding relating to operating aid in favour of FD must be considered to be compatible with the internal market as compensation for the provision of a SGEI pursuant to Article 106(2) of the Treaty.
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da nadomestilo za izgube iz poslovanja prispeva k natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa brez povzročanja podvajanja nedonosnih letališč v istem gravitacijskem območju.
Article 106(2) of the Treaty states that ‘undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest or having the character of a revenue-producing monopoly shall be subject to the rules contained in this Treaty, in particular to the rules on competition, in so far as the application of such rules does not obstruct the performance, in law or in fact, of the particular tasks assigned to them.
Potreba po posredovanju države
The development of trade must not be affected to such an extent as would be contrary to the interests of the Union’.
V skladu z oddelkom 5.1.2(b) smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 je za oceno, ali je državna pomoč učinkovita pri doseganju cilja skupnega interesa, najprej treba opredeliti težavo, ki jo je treba rešiti.
That Article provides for an exemption from the general prohibition of State aid contained in Article 107(1) of the Treaty to the extent that the aid is necessary and proportional to ensure the performance of the SGEI under acceptable economic conditions.
V zvezi s tem mora biti državna pomoč za letališče usmerjena v primere, ko pomoč lahko zagotovi pomembne izboljšave, ki jih trg sam ne more doseči.
Prior to 31 January 2012, the Community framework for State aid in the form of public service compensation the 2005 SGEI Framework [62] and the 2005 SGEI Decision [63] represented the Commission's policy in applying the exemption in Article 106(2) of the Treaty.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je letališče Dortmund regionalno letališče s približno 1,9 milijona potniki na leto.
The Commission notes that both these instruments require that the undertaking in question be entrusted with a genuine SGEI.
Ima visoke stalne stroške poslovanja, v sedanjih tržnih pogojih pa ni sposobno samo kriti svojih stroškov poslovanja.
The entrustment of the airport operator with public service missions must also be recorded in ‘one or more official documents’ containing, inter alia, the ‘precise nature of the public service obligation’ [64].
Zato je potrebno posredovanje države.
Genuine SGEI
Ustreznost ukrepov pomoči
As regards, first, the question of whether the operation of Dortmund airport constitutes a genuine SGEI, the Commission recalls that for an activity to constitute an SGEI, that activity should exhibit special characteristics as compared with ordinary economic activities, and that the objective of general interest which is pursued cannot simply be that of development of certain economic activities or economic areas as provided for in Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty [65].
V skladu z oddelkom 5.1.2(c) smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 mora biti vsak ukrep pomoči za letališče ustrezen instrument politike za doseganje cilja skupnega interesa.
In this light, the Commission considers that this can only be the case if part of the area served by the airport would, without the airport, be isolated from the rest of the Union to an extent that would prejudice its social and economic development [66].
Država članica mora torej dokazati, da istega cilja ne bi bilo mogoče doseči z drugimi manj izkrivljajočimi instrumenti politike ali instrumenti pomoči.
The Commission considers that the area around Dortmund airport and in particular the Ruhr region is one of the most densely populated areas in the Union.
Po mnenju Nemčije so obravnavani ukrepi pomoči ustrezni za doseganje predvidenega cilja skupnega interesa, ki ga ne bi bilo mogoče doseči z drugim manj izkrivljajočim instrumentom politike.
Apart of Dortmund airport, the area is served by several airports located within a distance of less than 100 km from Dortmund airport.
V tej zadevi je bil znesek pomoči omejen na nekrite izgube iz poslovanja in na najmanjšega potrebnega, saj so bili z njim nadomeščeni samo dejansko nastali stroški.
Moreover the area is well-connected by a dense motorway and railway network to the rest of Germany as well as to the Union.
Z nobenim drugim ukrepom politike letališču ne bi bilo omogočeno nadaljevanje obratovanja.
Therefore Dortmund airport does not serve an area which would otherwise be isolated from the rest of the Union.
Nadomestilo izgub je torej omejeno na najmanjše potrebno in ne zagotavlja dobička.
The Commission therefore finds that the operation of Dortmund airport does not constitute an SGEI.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno Komisija meni, da je bil obravnavani ukrep ustrezen za dosego želenega cilja skupnega interesa.
To the extent that Germany considers that the operation of Dortmund airport amounts to an SGEI, it has made a manifest error in the definition of the SGEI.
Spodbujevalni učinek
Accordingly the Commission finds that the public funding granted to FD amounting to operating aid cannot be considered as a SGEI compensation compatible with the internal market.
V skladu z oddelkom 5.1.2(d) smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 ima pomoč za tekoče poslovanje spodbujevalni učinek, če je verjetno, da bi se brez nje raven gospodarske dejavnosti letališča znatno znižala.
COMPATIBILITY OF OPERATING AID UNDER THE 2014 AVIATION GUIDELINES
Pri tej oceni je treba upoštevati prisotnost pomoči za naložbe in raven prometa na letališču.
