This company explains that the direct costs out of Brussels airport are EUR 32,14 per passenger compared with EUR 5 for Ryanair operating out of Charleroi airport [87].
Zato po mnenju družbe Brussels Airlines pomoč, dodeljena družbi Ryanair, ni združljiva z notranjim trgom.
Even though the ground handling services are more limited for Ryanair than for other airlines, this interested party points out that a considerable number of ground handling services are still necessary for all airlines.
Po mnenju družbe BSCA okvir poslovanja z družbo Ryanair nikakor ni pomoč v korist družbe Ryanair.
The fact that the ground handling market is open to competition at Brussels airport means that these fees should not normally be much higher at Brussels airport than at Charleroi airport.
Rezultati, ki jih ustvarja to partnerstvo, namreč dokazujejo donosnost tega ekonomskega modela.
Ground handling fees are, generally speaking, higher at small airports than at large airports, given that companies cannot usually reach the critical size needed to make economies of scale.
Družba BSCA poleg tega trdi, da svoje dejavnosti izvaja popolnoma neodvisno, brez neposrednega ali posrednega vmešavanja valonske vlade, zlasti pogajanja o poslovnih pogodbah z letalskimi prevozniki.
This interested party estimates that Ryanair saved EUR 17 million in 2003 on ground handling fees and landing fees.
Družba Ryanair trdi, da sporazumi, sklenjeni med družbo Ryanair, družbo BSCA in Valonijo, ne vsebujejo elementov državne pomoči iz treh razlogov: uporablja se načelo zasebnega vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu, ni selektivnosti in sporazumi ne izkrivljajo konkurence.
In its opinion, it also appears that BSCA has not taken account of Council Directive 96/67/EC [88]: the airport should reach two million passengers a year quite quickly and BSCA will need to apply the Directive at this threshold and open the ground handling market to other operators.
Po mnenju družbe so TBI sporazumi, sklenjeni na letališču Charleroi, podobni dogovorom, ki jih je družba TBI sklenila z družbo Ryanair in drugimi nizkocenovnimi prevozniki, med drugim na letališču Stockholm Skavsta.
BSCA has allegedly acted not as a private investor in a market economy but for political and social reasons, on the instructions of the Region.
Dodeljevanje popustov za pristajalne pristojbine in stroške zemeljske oskrbe je pogosta poslovna praksa za privabljanje prevoznikov, ki lahko zagotovijo veliko število potnikov.
The 15-year contract will probably not allow BSCA to establish itself as a profitable business and it is expected to continue to experience operational problems.
Prispevke v obliki financiranja hotelskih stroškov, usposabljanja osebja ali trženja je treba primerjati z naložbo, ki jo izvede in katere tveganje prevzame prevoznik.
The prospect of a return on the investment could be undermined if Ryanair withdraws [89].
Prispevki za trženje koristijo letališču, katerega podoba se izboljša, poveča pa se tudi število potnikov.
BSCA allegedly receives contributions from the Region, such as 65 % of the revenue from the airport charges and the placing at its disposal of the infrastructure free of charge, even though the Region pays a contribution to SOWAER.
Družba TBI ponuja tovrstne prispevke zlasti, kadar upravljavec uvede novo storitev ali poveča pogostost nekaterih letov na določeni ruti.
In principle, each payment from the Region should be limited to the compensation for the costs associated with the public service obligations imposed on BSCA, and the situation is not very clear in this regard.
Po navedbah družbe HRL Morrison bi zasebni vlagatelj lahko zavzel pristop, ki ga je uporabilo letališče Charleroi.
For this company, which acknowledges having also on occasion benefited from ‘marketing’ advantages for the launch of new destinations, but never from reductions in airport charges or ground handling costs, the advantages granted to Ryanair at Charleroi airport go well beyond the bounds of current practice.
Svojo ponudbo bi oprl na nekatere odločilne dejavnike: število potnikov, ki jih prevoznik lahko zagotovi letališču; njegovo pripravljenost, da se dolgoročno zaveže na podlagi pogodb; posebne potrebe prevoznika; urnik premikov letal in njegovo ujemanje z letališko dejavnostjo (obstoječi promet); potrebne vire na terminalu in pri zemeljski oskrbi.
It considers, however, that it took just as significant commercial risks by setting itself up at Brussels airport at a time when competition from Sabena was very strong.
Pričakovani dobiček na podlagi sporazuma z družbo Ryanair bi izračunal kot celoto (in ne ločeno na podlagi njenih različnih sestavin).
The fact that other airport managers grant advantages to Ryanair does not prove that Charleroi airport has acted as a private investor in a market economy.
Koristi takega posla bi bilo treba predvideti v približno 20-letnem obdobju, z zagonom dejavnosti po treh do petih letih.
The company refers to the Steinike & Weiling judgment [90].
V primeru sporazuma, sklenjenega za 15 let, delničarji družbe Morrison menijo, da je ekonomsko sprejemljivo, če se ponovna dobičkonosnost vzpostavi približno pet let po podpisu sporazuma.
Brussels International Airport Company, now Brussels Airport Company (hereinafter ‘BAC’)
STALIŠČA BELGIJE
According to BAC, BSCA has not behaved like a private investor given that the advantages granted differ in their extent from those granted by other airports [91].
Stališča Belgije glede ukrepov v korist družbe BSCA
The fact that Ryanair receives advantages from other airports is not at all relevant, as those could also constitute State aid.
Neobstoj državne pomoči za družbo BSCA
The interested party draws the Commission's attention to several factors that must be taken into account when analysing the potential profitability of BSCA and that appear to exclude medium-term profits:
Pripombe Belgije po sprejetju sklepa o razširitvi iz leta 2012
BSCA benefited from a recapitalisation by the Region, totalling EUR 4 million, in December 2002.
Dajanje na voljo infrastrukture s strani družbe SOWAER
BSCA benefited from ‘an exemption from half of its fee due to the Region for the period 2001-2006.
Glavni argument, ki ga navaja Belgija: valonska vlada je program naložb odobrila pred 12. decembrom 2000
This advantage totals EUR 1 million per year, which BSCA will, however, have to pay back from 2007 onwards’.
Po navedbah Belgije je o programu naložb valonska vlada odločila julija 2000 in ga potrdila novembra 2000, to je pred izdajo sodbe Aéroports de Paris [92] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: sodba ADP).
The Commission should take account of the costs of the Charleroi airport expansion project, calculated at EUR 95 million, and the methods of financing.
Ta sodba pomeni datum, od katerega se pravila PDEU o državni pomoči uporabljajo za financiranje letališč.
If this project is not paid for by BSCA, the conditions under which the Region places this infrastructure at the disposal of BSCA should be checked.
Okvirni sporazum z dne 20. julija 2000, ki podrobno določa pogoje za razvoj regionalnih letališč in z njim povezane okoljske ukrepe, pomeni sporazum, sprejet na ravni valonske vlade, s katerim se je Valonija zavezala, da bo del svojega proračuna namenila razvoju lastne infrastrukture na letališču Bruxelles-Sud Charleroi.
This interested party doubts that, given the current state of its infrastructure, the airport is in a position to cater for sufficient passengers to ensure the financial balance of BSCA.
S sklepom z dne 8. novembra 2000 se izvaja sklep z dne 20. julija 2000, pri čemer je predhodno določen okvirni sporazum prenesen v večletni program naložb.
The Region provides BSCA, free of charge, with the equipment and staff needed for all the security operations at Charleroi airport, namely passenger and baggage screening prior to embarkation, although, ‘as a general rule, security costs are borne by the airport users, either through a security fee payable to the airport operator or through a tax where these services are provided by the public authorities’.
Oba sklepa je torej treba obravnavati kot celoto, saj prvi dopolnjuje in podrobno določa prvega, zlasti glede konkretnega časovnega okvira izvajanja finančnih ukrepov, o katerih je bilo odločeno.
Interested Party C
Zavrnitev nekaterih navedb Komisije v sklepu o razširitvi iz leta 2012
(Comments received following the 2012 extension decision)
Vprašanje neobstoja zaveze do tretje osebe
Interested Party C believes that the advantages granted by the Region to BSCA and Ryanair harm competition and that Charleroi airport and Brussels airport operate in the same market.
V okviru teh sklepov ni treba navesti tretjih upravičencev, saj je Valonija v njih določila lastne naložbe zase.
Interested Party C criticises the relationship between the Region, BSCA and Ryanair and the resulting differences in charges levied on airlines at Brussels airport and Charleroi airport.
Po navedbah Belgije sta zato ta sklepa manj formalna kot v primeru sklepa o odobritvi pomoči tretji osebi.
Notably, (i) maintenance costs are not passed on to users but are compensated by the Region, (ii) landing fees favour Ryanair, […].
Valonija naj bi za odobritev pomoči tretji osebi uporabila enaka načela in zneske naložb, brez dodatnega postopka, razen pošiljanja uradnega obvestila o vladni odločbi, ki v obravnavani zadevi ni potrebno.
Interested Party C further submits that Ryanair does not pay for services that are part of normal airport management, such as fire services, expansion and construction of infrastructure and passenger fees.
Ta neobstoj formalizma pa po navedbah Belgije ne pomeni, da ti sklepi niso zavezujoči.
Existence of aid
Čeprav je naslovnica sklepov Valonija, vlada s sprejetjem sklepa sprejme zavezo.
Selective advantage
Okoliščina, da gre za enostransko zavezo, ni značilna samo za obravnavano zadevo.
According to Brussels Airlines, Ryanair has benefited from a selective advantage compared to other airlines.
O vsakem finančnem ukrepu, ne glede na to, kdo so njegovi naslovniki, se namreč vedno odloči z enostranskim upravnim aktom organa, ki z njim soglaša in še naprej odloča o njegovi ohranitvi, spremembi ali razveljavitvi.
The aid granted by the Region and SOWAER to BSCA reduces the latter's operating costs, enabling it to charge lower fees to airlines including Ryanair, in turn reducing the latter's operating costs.
Posledično upravičenemu podjetju ni bil poslan uradni dopis o dodelitvi pomoči, čeprav je treba v skladu s sodbo v zadevi Fleuren Compost [93] prav ta akt šteti za pravno zavezujoči akt, s katerim se pristojni organ zaveže, da bo dodelil pomoč, in ki posledično pomeni datum dodelitve pomoči.
In particular, given that the Region covers the safety and security costs of Charleroi airport, BSCA does not recover these from the airlines, whereas Brussels airport has not benefited from any compensation in this respect.
Če takega dokumenta ni, je edini možni datum datum sprejetja sklepov, s katerimi vlada odloči o odobritvi (podlaga, zneski in časovni razpored) naložb.
Brussels Airlines believes that the Region's comprehensive financial support programme for BSCA must be taken into account when assessing the commercial relationship between BSCA and Ryanair.
Vprašanje nepreklicnosti, nespremenljivosti in dokončnosti sklepov iz leta 2000
Ryanair has also benefited from direct financial measures such as start-up aid and contributions to marketing activities.
Belgija navaja, da sta bila po navedbah Komisije sklepa z dne 20. julija in 8. novembra 2000 pozneje bistveno spremenjena in naj ne bi bila nepreklicna, nespremenljiva in dokončna.
Brussels Airlines questions whether this aid complies with the conditions laid down by the 2005 guidelines as also the principles of proportionality and transparency.
Po mnenju Belgije je treba pri tem razlikovati med sklepi o določitvi novih naložb, ki se štejejo za nove projekte, in sklepi, s katerimi se konkretno, po potrebi z nekaterimi prilagoditvami, izvajajo/uresničujejo naložbe, o katerih je bilo predhodno odločeno.
Brussels Airlines considers that the cumulative effect of all the measures is to make it impossible to believe that BSCA is acting as a private investor, and it invites the Commission not to examine the measures separately, but as a whole.
V obravnavani zadevi Belgija potrjuje zavezujočo in nepreklicno naravo sklepov iz julija in novembra 2000, saj pozneje ni bil sprejet noben nov sklep o financiranju.
Benchmarking.
Edini sklepi, ki jih je pozneje sprejela Valonija in nato družba SOWAER, so bili sprejeti za uporabo in izvedbo ukrepov financiranja v skladu s sklepoma valonske vlade iz julija in novembra 2000.
According to Brussels Airlines, the fees charged by BSCA to Ryanair during the period in question were much lower than those paid by other airlines at comparable airports.
Po mnenju Belgije teh proračunskih ali tehničnih prilagoditev ni mogoče šteti za bistvene spremembe.
Brussels Airlines uses as its benchmark the airport charges of a number of other airports located in the catchment area of Charleroi airport (Eindhoven, Lille and Cologne) or that are of a similar size (Marseille, Porto and Bologna), and concludes that the airport charges applied at Charleroi airport are not in line with those that a private investor in a market economy would apply.
Ker se je vlada tudi zavedala omejitev pri oceni takih naložb, je že na začetku predvidela, da se bodo lahko nekatere postavke (med njimi izgradnja novega terminala) znova ocenile „glede na dejansko dejavnost letališča“, ali če bodo „pogojene z dejanskimi potrebami letališča“.
Brussels Airlines also considers that Brussels airport is a good benchmark for assessing the discriminatory nature of the airport charges: both airports are located in the same catchment area and face the same economic environment.
Ker so se dejavnosti in dejanske potrebe med trajanjem večletnega sporazuma in programa naložb nujno spreminjale, je bilo po mnenju Belgije logično, da je vlada nekatere postavke številsko opredelila s pridržkom nenehnega spreminjanja teh dejavnikov.
In addition, Brussels airport can pass on its fixed costs to more airlines, which invalidates the argument that the fees applied by Brussels airport are necessarily higher due to its size.
Poleg tega, če bi bile nekatere prilagoditve tako velike, da bi se zdelo, da gre dejansko za nove naložbe in ne več za naknadno prilagoditev že odobrene naložbe, kar pa ne drži, bi se zato posebej samo za to naložbo lahko štelo, da je bila izvedena po sprejetju sklepov z dne 20. julija in 8. novembra 2000.
A comparison reveals a major difference between the level of airport charges at Brussels airport and at Charleroi airport, even when taking into account the additional services provided at Brussels airport due to differences in airline business models.
Belgija navaja, da se naložba na podlagi ponovne ocene označi za novo naložbo samo, če se spremeni ne samo obseg, ampak tudi narava določene naložbe.
Cost coverage
Ta sprememba mora biti taka, da je mogoče trditi, da se projekt, načrtovan ob sprejetju sklepov julija in novembra 2000, nikakor ni mogel navezovati na projekt, ki je bil pozneje dejansko financiran in izveden, ne glede na upravičene spremembe splošnih razmer.
According to Brussels Airlines, BSCA has not proven that, when the agreements in question (from 2001 and the subsequent amendments) were concluded, BSCA was in a position to cover the costs arising from those agreements, for their entire term, while making a reasonable profit in the medium term.
Tako bi se lahko na primer „dopolnilna“ naložba, ki ni bila upravičena z naknadno prilagoditvijo dejanskim potrebam letališča, temveč naj bi se z njo zagotovila dodatna infrastruktura poleg tiste, ki je bila prvotno predvidena julija in novembra 2000, izključno v višini te dopolnilne naložbe štela za novo naložbo, o kateri je bilo odločeno zunaj okvirnega sporazuma in konkretnega programa naložb iz leta 2000.
BSCA has not therefore acted as a private investor in a market economy.
Trditve Belgije, ki temeljijo na preučitvi sklepov iz leta 2000
Brussels Airlines submits that BSCA's profit margin is much lower than that of other EU airports.
Po navedbah Belgije preučitev sklepov z dne 20. julija 2000 in 8. novembra 2000 potrjuje, da so zaveze, ki jih vsebujeta, pravno zavezujoče.
In 2006 and 2007, the average profit margin across a range of EU airports was between 7 % and 9 %.
Sklep valonske vlade z dne 20. julija 2000 o odobritvi okvirnega sporazuma
BSCA/SOWAER's profit margins, adjusted to take account of the subsidies, were clearly negative and therefore not in line with these margins, suggesting non-market-driven practices.
Okvirni sporazum in program naložb ustrezata dejanskim sklepom, ki za vlado pomenita zavezujočo zavezo.
Brussels Airlines questions whether economies of scale can justify the 50 % reduction granted to Ryanair on these fees.
Poleg tega dejstvo, da je akt naslovljen kot „okvirni sporazum“, Komisije v prejšnji odločbi ni odvrnilo od ugotovitve, da je šlo za pravno zavezujoči akt, in od tega, da je kot datum odobritve pomoči upoštevala datum podpisa navedenega akta [94].
Passenger fees, passenger with reduced mobility fees and ground handling fees appear to be non-existent or extremely low, although these are costs normally borne by airlines.
Po mnenju Belgije okvirni sporazum iz julija 2000 še zdaleč ni le načelni sporazum, temveč konkretno določa naložitev naložb.
According to Brussels Airlines, the investment and operating costs that have not been borne by BSCA must be taken into account when examining the aid granted to Ryanair.
Namenske postavke so že določene in ocenjeni so bili tudi stroški naložb, tako da so lahko izdatki takoj bremenili proračun.
Brussels Airlines doubts whether BSCA has accurately projected the airport's estimated revenues and costs over the entire term of the agreements with Ryanair.
Poleg tega je vlada pojasnila, da bi bilo treba uvesti „ad hoc mehanizem financiranja“.
In return for the reduced fees, Ryanair could not guarantee BSCA a level of traffic generating income equivalent and proportional to the costs of the advantages granted to Ryanair.
To dokazuje, da je vlada že predvidela vzpostavitev novega javnega financerja, pristojnega za letališko infrastrukturo.
As a result, according to Brussels Airlines, the measures in question do not comply with the private investor in a market economy principle, are state aid and give Ryanair a selective advantage.
Finančni načrt družbe SOWAER, ki potrjuje, da bo družba SOWAER izvedla sklepa vlade iz julija in novembra 2000, in ga je vlada odobrila 23. maja 2001, vsebuje sklicevanje na okvirni sporazum z dne 20. julija 2000, kar izključuje vsakršen dvom glede zavez, ki jih je sprejela Valonija.
Brussels Airlines submits that the aid measures have an adverse impact on airlines operating from Brussels airport.
Po navedbah Belgije pa ta način delovanja ni bistven glede na načelo odobritve programa naložb, ki je temeljno vprašanje v obravnavani zadevi.
The aid measures enable BSCA to charge lower fees and thereby reduce the costs of airlines operating from Charleroi airport.
Ustanovitev družbe SOWAER je namreč samo ukrep za uresničitev sklepov iz julija in novembra 2000, pri čemer je ta družba samo finančna posrednica Valonije.
These airlines are able to undercut the prices of competitors operating from other airports.
Čeprav je bilo treba konkretni finančni mehanizem izvajanja naložb, za katere se je odločila Valonija, po sprejetju sklepov iz julija in novembra 2000 še določiti, so bile zaveze valonskih organov resnične in so veljale za finančni mehanizem, ki naj bi bil izbran.
As a result, the European point-to-point market out of Belgium has shifted towards Charleroi airport.
Sklep valonske vlade z dne 8. novembra 2000 o izvajanju okvirnega sporazuma z dne 20. julija 2000 in odobritvi večletnega programa naložb v letališče Bruxelles-Sud Charleroi
Only Charleroi has seen its traffic increase in this segment.
Vsaka naložba, opisana v dokumentu, ki ga je odobrila vlada, je bila ocenjena in njeni stroški so bili natančno določeni.
The number of passengers using Brussels airport has stagnated in recent years, whereas elsewhere in Europe traffic has increased.
Skratka, po navedbah Belgije je bilo o programu naložb za obdobje 2001–2010 v zvezi z letališčem Bruxelles-Sud Charleroi dejansko odločeno pred 12. decembrom 2000, datumom izreka sodbe Aéroports de Paris.
Brussels Airlines reiterates that it is based at Brussels airport and that the latter's catchment area almost entirely overlaps with that of Charleroi airport.
Kakor koli že, po mnenju Belgije je financiranje infrastrukture na letališču Charleroi v skladu z načelom zasebnega vlagatelja.
As a result, Brussels Airlines is in direct competition with Ryanair: they operate in the same catchment area and attract the same customers.
Da bi to dokazala, je Belgija predložila preglednico denarnih tokov, povezanih z naložbami v novi terminal in parkirišče za vozila v obdobju 2002–2036 [95].
Within the EU market, Brussels Airlines and Ryanair offer the same type of service (point-to-point service) and serve the same destinations.
Od teh zneskov naložb je upoštevala samo 89,7 % naložb v parkirišče in 28,1 % naložb v novi terminal, ker je menila, da so preostalo naložbe v negospodarske dejavnosti.
Out of 46 destinations, Brussels Airlines is in competition with Ryanair for 16 destinations from the same airport and for 12 destinations from an airport in the same catchment area.
Na podlagi tega je sklepala, da brez nadomestila, ki ga je Valonija dodelila družbi BSCA za kritje dela pristojbin, povezanih z infrastrukturo, namenjeno storitvam splošnega pomena, stopnja donosnosti financiranja te infrastrukture znaša skoraj 2 %.
The result of this situation is that Brussels Airlines has had to withdraw certain routes that are also served by Ryanair (7 since 2007) and reduce the frequency of flights on other routes (for 14 destinations).
Zato infrastruktura ni dana na voljo po ceni, nižji od njene vrednosti.
Between 2004 and 2012 Brussels Airlines' market share fell from […] % to […] %.
Storitve družbe SOWAER v korist družbe BSCA
Its market share is continuing to fall to the benefit of Charleroi airport, where the market share has risen from […] % to […] %.
Belgija poudarja, da se precejšen del stroškov večjih vzdrževalnih del in popravil nanaša na infrastrukturo, namenjeno negospodarskim dejavnostim.
According to Brussels Airlines, most of the aid granted to Ryanair does not contribute to an objective of common interest.
Že leta 1991 je bilo načelo ločenega stroškovnega računovodstva za opredelitev stroškov, kritih z nadomestilom, določeno s členom 25 splošnih pogojev koncesije.
Furthermore, the aid has been granted in such a way that it is distorting competition, which is harming common interests.
Primarno: financiranje negospodarskih dejavnosti
Brussels Airlines therefore considers that the aid granted to Ryanair is incompatible with the internal market.
Storitve požarne varnosti
According to BSCA, the commercial framework agreed with Ryanair in no way involves aid being granted to Ryanair.
Po mnenju Belgije so storitve požarne varnosti negospodarske dejavnosti, ker gre za dejavnosti, ki spadajo med naloge javne oblasti.
The results of this partnership clearly show the profitability of the business model.
Storitve, povezane z varnostjo prometa na tleh
Moreover, BSCA argues that it manages its activities entirely independently, without any direct or indirect intervention by the Walloon Government, particularly in the negotiation of commercial contracts with airlines.
Po mnenju Belgije tudi storitve, povezane z varnostjo prometa na tleh, spadajo med naloge javne oblasti.
Ryanair submits that the agreements concluded between Ryanair, BSCA and the Region do not contain any element of State aid for three reasons: the private investor in a market economy principle applies, there is no selectivity and the agreements do not distort competition.
Po navedbah Belgije je namreč Komisija ob sprejetju odločbe z dne 23. julija 2008 o letališču Leipzig Halle sama priznala, da so storitve, povezane z varnostjo obratovanja, negospodarske dejavnosti [96].
