France therefore takes the view that the approach adopted by the airport corresponds to the choice that would have been made by a private operator.
Družba Ryanair podredno navaja, da je določitev potniških pristojbin na terminalu mp2 v skladu s preskusom preudarnega udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
Accordingly, it considers that the analysis conducted by PwC is incorrect in so far as the latter criticises France for not having produced a business plan ‘built on assumptions specific to mp2’, although this phrase is not explained by PwC.
Trdi, da Komisija v svoji analizi ni pravilno uporabila preskusa preudarnega udeleženca, kot to zahteva Sodišče [36], in sicer iz več razlogov.
France notes in this respect that the allocation of costs between the various users of the different terminals is covered by the airport's differentiated charges analysis, and not by the profitability study for the new terminal project.
Prvič, Komisija ni najprej opravila primerjave med pristojbinami, ki se uporabljajo na letališču Marseille Provence, in tržno ceno.
COMMENTS BY THIRD PARTIES
Družba Ryanair je predložila študijo, v kateri se zatrjuje, da se lahko tržna cena za letališke storitve določi na podlagi primerjave s cenami, ki se zaračunavajo na primerljivih zasebnih letališčih v celotni Evropi.
Air France maintains that, although the subsidies granted for upgrading the airport's infrastructure have benefited all carriers present at Marseille Provence Airport, the investment subsidies specifically for Terminal mp2 have had the potential to distort competition between the airlines using each of the two terminals.
Družba uporabi primerjavo z letališči Luton, Eastern Midlands, Prestwick in Liverpool.
Air France disputes the Commission's assessment in the opening decision that access to Terminal mp2 has been equal and non-discriminatory.
Trdi, da ta letališča obratujejo brez državne pomoči in brez javnega posredovanja ter da so cene, ki jih plačuje na teh letališčih, povprečno trikrat nižje od cen na letališču Marseille Provence.
The CCIMP's decision to reserve Terminal mp2 for ‘point-to-point’ traffic would have forced Air France, which also operates international flights and in particular carries connecting passengers, to split its operations from Marseille between the two terminals, as a result of which Air France refrained from using Terminal mp2.
Iz tega sklepa, da cena, ki jo plačuje letališču Marseille Provence za letališke storitve, ni nižja od tržne cene za te storitve in da torej cena, ki jo plačuje, ne vključuje elementov državne pomoči.
According to Air France, the launch in October 2006 of international flights operated by Ryanair from Terminal mp2 proves the preferential treatment given to this operator by the CCIMP.
Drugič, Komisija je v svoje izračune vključila nepovratne stroške, namesto da bi svojo oceno oprla zgolj na mejne stroške.
Moreover, Air France notes that Terminal mp2 offered services only for aircraft with fewer than 200 seats, which excluded the Airbus A321, and that an application was lodged by Air Méditerranée with Marseille Administrative Court seeking recognition of the arbitrary and discriminatory nature of this clause in the rules governing use of Terminal mp2.
Družba Ryanair v zvezi s tem opozarja, da je bilo letališče Marseille Provence zgrajeno leta 1922 in se je pred liberalizacijo zračnega prometa uporabljalo predvsem za regionalni promet, ki ga je v obliki javne službe financirala država, in kot baza za zrakoplove za boj proti gozdnim požarom.
Air France maintains that the eligibility conditions for Terminal mp2 imposed initially by the CCIMP seem to have been solely intended to prevent it from seeking to use the new terminal, even though the economic equilibrium of the platform would have no doubt been assured if Air France could have transferred all its operations to Terminal mp2, where the level of charges was significantly lower.
Dodaja, da je letališče, da bi se soočilo z upadom prometa med letoma 2001 in 2003, izdelalo strategijo odprtja nizkocenovnim letalskim družbam z vzpostavitvijo terminala, zasnovanega posebej za njihovo uporabo.
OPERATING SUBSIDIES FOR THE CCIMP
Družba Ryanair opozarja, da je več let predstavljala več kot 40 % prometa na terminalu mp2.
Air France claims that the level of airport tax, collected on behalf of the State but paid back in full to the airport operator, may not have corresponded to the costs actually incurred by the airport in financing measures falling under the responsibility of the public authorities, and may therefore have constituted an operating subsidy for Marseille Provence Airport.
Trdi, da regionalna letališča niso privlačna za letalske prevoznike, ki lahko upravičeno pričakujejo pogajanja z letališčem o toliko nižjih cenah, kolikor več potnikov bodo pripeljali na letališče.
AID GRANTED BY MARSEILLE PROVENCE AIRPORT TO CERTAIN AIRLINES
Opozarja, da mora Komisija pri ugotavljanju obstoja pomoči upoštevati položaj, ki je prevladoval ob odobritvi ukrepa upravičencu.
Reduced passenger charges for national flights
Trdi, da je v obravnavanem primeru na datum, ko je začela delovati na letališču Marseille Provence, ob upoštevanju pogodbenih zavez, ki jih je sprejela v zvezi s številom prepeljanih potnikov, upravljavec letališča lahko upravičeno pričakoval veliko povečanje prometa zaradi prisotnosti družbe Ryanair na letališču.
Air France does not dispute the Commission's finding in its opening decision that the creation of a low-cost terminal may meet a market demand.
Družba Ryanair trdi, da je treba, ker se ekonomski položaj majhnih regionalnih letališč s presežno zmogljivostjo razlikuje od položaja, ki ga je Sodišče analiziralo v sodbi Charleroi, ob upoštevanju, da se zanje uporablja analiza po stroških, to analizo prilagoditi.
However, Air France notes that the airport operator must ensure that this project is profitable.
Upoštevanje samo mejnih stroškov in prihodkov, povezanih s pogodbami, sklenjenimi z družbo Ryanair, naj bi odražalo ravnanje preudarnega udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
Air France disputes the Commission's assertion that it seems normal for a private airport operator to try and demand higher charges for the transport of passengers of those airlines that choose to offer a more comfortable service, whose customers are characterised as having a greater ‘willingness to pay’.
Dodaja, da se stroški, povezani z naložbami, izvedenimi pred prihodom družbe Ryanair, in fiksnimi stroški poslovanja, ne smejo upoštevati.
Air France maintains that it has played no part in determining the service quality level offered in the ‘comfortable’ terminal, and wonders whether the criteria applied by the airport operator for access to the new terminal dedicated to the new low-cost operators have been truly non-discriminatory.
Družba Ryanair dodaja, da dejstvo, ali letališče na splošno ustvarja dobiček ali izgubo, ni upoštevno z vidika obstoja pomoči v korist letalskega prevoznika.
Air France claims that airlines having historically used certain terminals are often captives of these infrastructures.
Družba Ryanair trdi, da je analiza stroškov, ki jo je Komisija opravila za preskus preudarnega udeleženca, napačna, ker ne upošteva ravni storitve, ponujene na terminalu mp2, ki je nižja od ravni storitev, ponujenih tradicionalnim prevoznikom, in torej ustreza višini veljavne pristojbine.
Air France takes the view that, as airport operators have a monopoly over their airports, they can unfairly increase their charges to such captive customers in order to offer lower charges to customers using the low-cost terminals, with the latter being capable of easily moving their operations from one airport platform to another.
Trdi, da terminal mp2 ponuja samo osnovno infrastrukturo [37], njegova površina na potnika pa je bistveno manjša v primerjavi s površino glavnega terminala (1,66 m2 proti 6,06 m2).
Air France considers that the charges applied at Marseille Provence Airport stem from accounting treatment choices that have the sole logic of favouring those airlines using Terminal mp2.
Družba Ryanair trdi, da nizkocenovni letalski prevozniki ne bi smeli plačevati pristojbin za storitve, ki jih ne uporabljajo ali jih uporabljajo v manjšem obsegu kot tradicionalni prevozniki [38].
According to Air France, the method of allocating the overheads allows the passenger charge applicable to Terminal mp2 to be artificially reduced.
Opozarja, da za prtljago uporablja pristojbine, s katerimi naj bi potnike spodbudila, da ne prijavljajo prtljage, kar je privedlo do tega, da prtljago prijavi samo tretjina potnikov družbe Ryanir.
Air France would like the Commission to include in its reasoning the fact that airports are ‘essential infrastructures’ as far as airlines are concerned and that, as a result, an airport operator must apply charges reflecting the cost of the service provided (obligation also imposed by Directive 2009/12/EC).
Poleg tega naj bi potniki družbe Ryanair sami premeščali svojo prtljago od okenc za prijavo do kontrolnih točk, zaradi česar je vsaka taka infrastruktura na letališču nepotrebna.
Air France underlines that, to its knowledge, the CCIMP has never taken any steps to recover the additional charges due as a result of the retroactive reassessment of the passenger charges at Terminal mp2.
Za primerjavo družba Ryanair poudarja, da družba Air France intenzivneje uporablja storitve zemeljske oskrbe, povezane s prevzemom prtljage na letališču.
Air France notes that, although, through its interim ruling of 28 July 2009, the Council of State suspended payment of 20 % of the passenger charge applied to Terminal mp1, the CCIMP did not, however, increase the passenger charge applicable to Terminal mp2.
Družba Ryanair trdi, da leti z največjimi zrakoplovi, ki letijo z letališča Marseille Provence, s čimer se letališče izogne oportunitetnim stroškom, povezanim z delovanjem majhnih zrakoplovov, glede na število prepeljanih potnikov.
Air France points out that, as the Council of State did not annul the charges applicable to Terminal mp1 (decision of 27 June 2011), the entire 20 % suspended under the interim ruling was eventually paid to the CCIMP.
Poudarja, da deluje na podlagi obračanj, ki trajajo 25 minut, medtem ko je pri tradicionalnih prevoznikih, kot je Air France, obračalni čas med 45 in 60 minutami.
Air France notes that, in an earlier decision [32], the Commission concluded that an aid scheme involving a system for differentiating between airport charges according to the flight destination (national/international) was incompatible with the internal market.
Skrajšan obračalni čas omogoča omejitev časa uporabe talnih površin s strani zrakoplovov in potnikov.
Air France points out that, as France took steps to abolish this system, the Commission did not want to adopt any further appropriate measures.
Družba Ryanair opozarja, da merila za uporabo terminala mp2 temeljijo tudi na zahtevi, da se uporabljajo zrakoplovi tipa C, ki imajo lahko do 200 sedežev, in da zrakoplovi obratujejo s skrajšanim obračalnim časom.
Air France therefore concludes that the Commission's earlier decision means that any new investigation into this aid scheme is pointless.
Nazadnje, družba Ryanair graja dejstvo, da Komisija v svojem sklepu ne upošteva pozitivnih zunanjih učinkov, povezanih s prisotnostjo družbe Ryanair na letališču, tj. dejstva, da se vrednost infrastrukture povečuje s pogostostjo njenih obiskov, ob upoštevanju tveganj, neločljivo povezanih z obratovanjem prvih prog, na katerih se opravljajo leti z letališča.
Charges in relation to new routes
Navaja tudi, da prisotnost letalskega prevoznika na letališču ustvarja pozitivni učinek, ki vodi do povečanja števila potnikov na tem letališču ter s tem do izboljšanja komercialnih in prometnih infrastruktur na letališču, kar dodatno okrepi privlačnost letališča.
Although Air France accepts that every airport has to adopt this type of approach, the airline points out, however, that the airport must prove that it has acted as a market economy operator.
Družba Ryanair poudarja, da se je s pogodbo zavezala prepeljati določeno število potnikov na letališču Marseille, s čimer naj bi prispevala k ustvarjanju takih zunanjih učinkov, kar naj bi dokazovalo po eni strani povečanje prometa na letališču, in zlasti na terminalu mp2, in po drugi strani povečanje števila letalskih prevoznikov, ki letijo z letališča.
In this respect, it must prove that the measure aims to achieve an eventual return on investment.
Poleg tega poudarja, da je s tako zavezo na letalskega prevoznika preneseno celotno tveganje, povezano z obratovanjem proge, in da lahko zaradi tega letališče sprejme nižjo stopnjo donosnosti naložb, kot bi jo zahtevalo ob neobstoju takih zavez.
The objective must therefore be to improve its own revenues and not to increase the region's tourist numbers.
Družba Ryanair Komisijo spodbuja, naj v svoji analizi sprejme pristop enojnega obračunavanja, pri katerem se upoštevajo vsi prihodki iz letalskih dejavnosti in komercialnih prihodki, ustvarjeni s prisotnostjo letalskega prevoznika na letališču.
Air France adds that, in order to be acceptable, this type of measure must be transparent, non-discriminatory, degressive and time-limited so that it does not constitute public financing of the operating costs of the carrier benefiting from the measure.
V zvezi s tem navaja, da prepelje več potnikov na let kot družba Air France in da opravlja lete „od točke do točke“, na katerih po njenem mnenju potniki verjetneje ustvarijo komercialne prihodke kot potniki v tranzitu.
Ryanair maintains that the investment subsidies granted for the construction of Terminal mp2 reflect the conduct of a market economy operator.
Poudarja, da so od začetka njenega obratovanja na letališču Marseille Provence na terminalu mp2 začele delovati številne trgovine in več družb za najem vozil ter da prihodki, ustvarjenimi s temi neletalskimi dejavnostmi, prispevajo k donosnosti tega terminala.
According to Ryanair, the Commission's analysis should take into account the non-aeronautical revenue generated by Terminal mp2 through vehicle rentals, car park charges and additional commercial revenue generated by sales to Terminal mp2 passengers, who are likely to go to the shops in the main terminal, which is situated less than one minute's walk from Terminal mp2.
Družba Ryanair nazadnje navaja, da dejstvo, da so pristojbine, določene za terminal mp2, v skladu s preskusom preudarnega udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, dokazuje, da javna sredstva, dodeljena upravljavcu letališča, niso prerazporejena na družbo Ryanair.
Ryanair concludes that the non-aeronautical revenue generated by Terminal mp2 passengers makes a significant contribution to the profitability of the main terminal.
Če bi bil dokazan obstoj pomoči v korist letališča, družba Ryanair zanika, da to pomeni, da je bila njena končna upravičenka.
The airport's closure, which would have resulted in additional costs (redundancy and decontamination costs, opportunity costs of investments already made) when the airport's sale price was likely to be low if not negative, was not an economically appropriate alternative in 2006.
Družba Ryanair nadalje trdi, da pristojbine, ki se uporabljajo na terminalu mp2, niso nikakor selektivne, ker Komisija ni dokazala, da je bila družba Ryanair upravičena do ugodnejših pogojev kot drugi letalski prevozniki na letališču Marseille.
The strategy pursued by the airport, which has increased traffic and revenues and reduced the airport's unused capacity, has helped to improve its market value.
Poudarja, da za tak sklep ni dovolj ugotoviti, da se za različne letalske prevoznike uporabljajo različne pristojbine, ampak da bi morala Komisija upoštevati stroške storitev, ki jih letališče ponuja vsakemu od teh prevoznikov, ter pozitivne zunanje učinke in prihodke iz neletalskih dejavnosti, ki jih ustvari vsak letalski prevoznik.
Ryanair maintains that the assets of Terminal mp2 and the investments made could increase the value in the event of a sale, contrary to PwC's argument.
Družba Ryanair opozarja, da zaradi svojega poslovnega modela na vsakem letu prepelje več potnikov kot drugi prevozniki in da se morajo ti prihranki letališča glede na oportunitetne stroške, ki se jim tako izogne, odražati v višini pristojbin, ki se uporabljajo za družbo Ryanair.
SETTING OF THE PASSENGER CHARGES FOR TERMINAL MP2
Nazadnje, družba Ryanair navaja, da razlikovanje v stopnjah med nacionalnimi in mednarodnimi leti pomeni diskriminacijo v smislu člena 102 PDEU, ker izhaja iz odločitve letališča in glede na njegov prevladujoči položaj pri zagotavljanju infrastrukture.
Ryanair maintains that the decision setting the passenger charge applicable to Terminal mp2 is not imputable to the State, in accordance with the criteria explained by the Stardust Marine judgment [33].
Trdi, da se storitve za potnike ne razlikujejo bistveno glede na njihovo destinacijo (domači let, nacionalni let, mednarodni let) ter da preverjanje potnih listin mednarodnih potnikov spada med pristojnosti države in se torej ne bi smelo financirati z letališkimi pristojbinami.
Ryanair underlines that the CCIs are regarded by French law as belonging to a specific category of public entities, characterised by a lack of subordination to the State [34].
Družba Ryanair obžaluje, da Francija ugotovitve v zvezi z razlikovanjem med nacionalnimi leti in leti znotraj schengenskega območja ni razširila na lete zunaj schengenskega območja, za katere se na glavnem terminalu uporablja za 56 % višja pristojbina.
Ryanair therefore challenges the Commission's view, which simply presumes that the measures in question are imputable to the State due to the fact that the CCIMP is under state control, and points out that the Commission should examine, in each case, the specific circumstances determining whether or not the measure is imputable to the State.
Družba Ryanair tudi trdi, da ta mehanizem razlikovanja pomeni državno pomoč.
Ryanair adds that, in the case of the CCIMP, France could not have initiated, or acted in such a way as to encourage, the adoption by the airport of the measures in question.
Poudarja, da družba Air France in z njo povezane družbe opravljajo večino domačih letov in imajo torej koristi od sistema razlikovanja stopenj.
Ryanair maintains that, on the contrary, the DGAC repeatedly rejected the charges adopted by the CCIMP [35].
Zato Komisiji predlaga, naj v ukrepe, ki so predmet te preučitve, vključi prednost, dodeljeno družbi Air France, ki izhaja iz razlikovanja med pristojbinami za lete znotraj shengenskega območja in lete zunaj schengenskega območja, da bi lahko dobila odškodnino pred francoskimi sodišči.
In the alternative, Ryanair maintains that the passenger charges for Terminal mp2 were set in accordance with the market economy operator test.
Družba Ryanair je predložila dodatne informacije v zvezi z družbo AMS in analizo, ki naj bi jo opravila Komisija.
Ryanair claims that, in its analysis, the Commission did not correctly apply the prudent operator test, as required by the Court of Justice [36], for a number of reasons.
Navaja, da bi bilo treba obstoj pomoči v pogodbi z družbo AMS oceniti ločeno od drugih ukrepov.
Firstly, the Commission omitted to make a primary comparison between the charges applicable at Marseille Provence Airport and the market price.
Če pa se Komisija odloči, da jo bo ocenila skupaj s pogoji, do katerih je družba Ryanair upravičena na letališču, ta predlaga ekonomsko analizo in ugotavlja, da bi bila na tej podlagi pogodba z družbo AMS kratkoročno dobičkonosna za letališče.
Ryanair has submitted a study that maintains that the market price for airport services can be established on the basis of a comparison with the prices paid at comparable private airports throughout Europe.
Zbornica CCIMP se strinja s trditvami Francije, v skladu s katerimi zastaranih subvencij in subvencij, namenjenih financiranju negospodarskih dejavnosti, ni mogoče opredeliti kot državnih pomoči.
The airline uses a comparison with Luton, East Midlands, Prestwick and Liverpool airports.
Zbornica CCIMP se strinja z mnenjem Francije o združljivosti obravnavanih pomoči glede na pogoje iz smernic, zlasti pogoja sorazmernosti in nujnosti.
It alleges that those airports are operated without State aid or public intervention and that the prices that it pays at those airports are, on average, three times lower than those at Marseille Provence Airport.
Zbornica CCIMP poudarja neposredni in posredni gospodarski učinek novega terminala v marsejski regiji ter njegovo vlogo pri razbremenitvi osrednjih letališč, evropski teritorialni koheziji in krepitvi letaliških zmogljivosti zaradi tveganja preobremenjenosti [39].
Ryanair therefore concludes that the price that it pays at Marseille Provence Airport for the airport services is not below the market price for those services and that the price paid does not therefore include elements of State aid.
Zbornica CCIMP meni, da je bila ureditev novega terminala nepogrešljiva za umestitev nizkocenovnih letalskih prevoznikov, ki redko uporabljajo tradicionalne infrastrukture, katerih značilnosti ne ustrezajo njihovemu ekonomskemu modelu.
Secondly, the Commission included sunk costs in its calculations, instead of basing its assessment on incremental costs alone.
Opozarja, da se je bilo samo z vzpostavitvijo nizkocenovnega terminala mogoče približati zahtevam nizkocenovnih letalskih prevoznikov glede letaliških pristojbin pod pogojema preglednosti in nediskriminacije.
Ryanair notes in this respect that Marseille Provence Airport was constructed in 1922 and was used in particular, before the liberalisation of air transport, for regional traffic funded by the State in the form of a public service and as a base for forest firefighting aircraft.
SUBVENCIJE ZA TEKOČE POSLOVANJE V KORIST ZBORNICE CCIMP
Ryanair adds that, in order to address the drop in traffic recorded between 2001 and 2003, the airport implemented a strategy to open up to low-cost airlines by creating a terminal specifically designed for their use.
Zbornica CCIMP tako kot Francija v svojih pripombah pojasnjuje, da se finančni tokovi v skupnem znesku […]* milijonov EUR nanašajo na prispevke, plačane splošni službi letališča za opravljene storitve.
Ryanair points out that, for a number of years, it has accounted for over 40 % of the traffic at Terminal mp2.
Poudarja, da ni bilo nobenega prenosa finančnih sredstev z gospodarske zbornice na letališče Marseille Provence.
Ryanair maintains that regional airports are less attractive to airlines, which can legitimately expect to negotiate lower charges with the airport given the high volume of passengers that they bring.
Opozarja, da je letališče Marseille Provence tako kot vsako podjetje v regiji zavezano plačilu davka za kritje stroškov gospodarskih zbornic, ki ga je leta 2010 poravnalo v znesku 213553 EUR.
Ryanair notes that, when deciding on the existence of aid, the Commission is required to take into account the situation that prevailed at the time when the measure was granted to the beneficiary.
Zbornica CCIMP opozarja, da nizkocenovni terminal mp2 ponuja poenostavljene storitve in omogoča ponudbo različnih stopenj, ter potrjuje, da so bili za določitev teh stopenj upoštevani vsi stroški.
Ryanair maintains in this case that, on the date when it started to operate from Marseille Provence Airport, given the contractual undertakings that it had made regarding the volume of passengers carried, the airport operator could legitimately have expected a significant increase in traffic due to Ryanair's presence at the airport.
Na podlagi tega sklepa, da se lahko letališče Marseille Provence sklicuje na načelo preudarnega udeleženca, da bi utemeljilo obstoj različnih pristojbin na vsakem od terminalov.
Ryanair asserts that, as the economic situation at small regional airports with overcapacity is different from that analysed by the Court of Justice in the Charleroi judgment, the cost analysis, if applicable to them, must be adapted.
Zbornica CCIMP meni, da je tako imenovana „prispevna“ metoda, uporabljena za izračun stopnje donosnosti terminala mp2, edina, ki omogoča upoštevanje prenosa letalskega prevoznika z enega na drug terminal, saj ekonomija obsega vključuje stabilnost zadevnih stroškov, medtem ko bi njihova porazdelitev med terminala povzročila znižanje na glavnem terminalu.
