At the outset, Germany stressed that a large part of the losses covered result from the Airport performing activities falling within the public policy remit.
S tega vidika je letalski prevoznik Ryanair poudaril, da ni bilo infrastrukturnih stroškov v povezavi s pogodbo med letalskim prevoznikom Ryanair in družbo FZG, zato jih ni bilo mogoče obravnavati kot dodatne stroške, povezane z navedeno pogodbo.
In addition, it pointed out that the P&L Agreement does not cover costs that an airport operator ‘normally’ would have to bear.
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair je nadalje pojasnil, da popust ne pomeni selektivnega ukrepa v njegovo korist.
It argued in this context that a large part of the costs not related to the performance of activities falling within the public policy remit stem from the particular history of Zweibrücken airport and are, in this sense, not ‘normal costs’.
Trdil je, da je bil popust, ki ga je imel na voljo v prvem letu obratovanja, zagotovljen na podlagi priznavanja precejšnjega poslovnega tveganja, ki ga je prevzel, ko je na takrat neznanem letališču začel opravljati redne lete skozi vse leto.
Germany submitted that the Airport has the obligation to cater to general aviation and had to incur costs to convert the existing military infrastructure.
Menil je, da zanj v primeru letališča Zweibrücken ne bi bilo smiselno prevzeti takega poslovnega tveganja brez spodbujevalne sheme.
In any event, Germany asserted that the conditions of Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines were fulfilled ‘in fact’.
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair je nadalje trdil, da je bil podoben režim na voljo tudi drugim letalskim prevoznikom, tj. popust na pristojbine za letališke storitve v prvem letu obratovanja je bil na voljo vsem letalskim prevoznikom, ki so začeli opravljati prevoz na novi ruti z letališča Zweibrücken.
In particular, Germany stated that, as only the actual losses are covered, the presence of overcompensation can be excluded.
Zlasti je poudaril, da njegova pogodba z družbo FZG vsebuje klavzulo, ki določa, da se „[t]a pogodba sklene na neizključni podlagi.
With respect to the bank loan, Germany submitted that the Sparkasse Südwestpfalz, which granted the loan, operates as a normal commercial bank and acted as such in granting the loan, so that the decision to grant the loan is not imputable to the State.
Pogodbeni stranki soglašata, da so pogoji, ki jih zagotovi letalski prevoznik Ryanair v skladu s to pogodbo, na voljo na pregleden in nediskriminacijski način tudi vsem drugim letalskim prevoznikom, ki bi se želeli zavezati enakemu obsegu prevozne dejavnosti na letališču“ [24].
Germany stated further that when taking up the loan, the FZG compared offers from various banks, and the Sparkasse loan complied with market terms.
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair je trdil, da pogodbe med njim in družbo FZG ne morejo vsebovati državne pomoči, ker jih ni mogoče pripisati državi.
As regards the 100 % guarantee of the loan granted by the Land, Germany submitted that it is normal commercial practice for a shareholder to guarantee the loans taken out by its subsidiaries.
Trdil je, da dokazilo, s katerim je Komisija poskušala dokazati, da je navedene pogodbe mogoče pripisati državi, ne zadostuje, ker se v njem lahko izraža zanimanje javnih organov za poslovne odnose letališča in njegovo prihodnost, ne kažejo pa nobene dejanske vključenosti katerega koli javnega organa v pogajanja in pogodbe med družbo FZG in letalskim prevoznikom Ryanair.
In any event, Germany argued that the loan was used exclusively for the modernisation of the runway, necessitated by safety concerns and thus falling within the public policy remit.
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair je poleg tega predložil več zabeležk, ki jih je pripravila družba Oxera, in analizo, ki jo je pripravil profesor Damien P. McLoughlin.
As the measure financed by the loan was thus not subject to State aid rules, it argued that the guarantee granted by the Land does not constitute aid either.
Zadeve v zvezi z državno pomočjo za letalskega prevoznika Ryanair, ki jih je pripravila družba Oxera, 9. april 2013.
Finally, Germany asserted that even if the guarantee were to be considered to be subject to State aid rules, no advantage was conferred on FZG, since the interest rate on the guaranteed loan was still higher than comparable loans granted to FGAZ that were not secured by a guarantee.
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair meni, da je pristop Komisije, da upošteva le primerjalna letališča iz zaledja, v katerem se nahaja letališče v preiskavi, napačen.
Concerning the internal cash pool, Germany claimed that the Land's internal cash-pool is a normal financing mechanism used in the relationship between mother companies and subsidiaries.
Družba Oxera je trdila, da na referenčne tržne cene, pridobljene pri primerljivih letališčih, ni vplivala državna pomoč, dodeljena bližnjim letališčem.
Germany stated that the cash-pool is a financial instrument which was established by the Land in 2002.
Zato je mogoče okvirno oceniti tržno referenčno merilo za preskuse načela udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
The Land's institutions and foundations and all undertakings governed by private law of which the Land owns more than 50 %, can participate in the cash pooling facility.
Razlogi za to so:
Germany explained that the daily account balance of the cash pool is managed by the ‘Landeshauptkasse’ of the Land.
primerjalne analize se pogosto uporabljajo za preskuse načela udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu zunaj področja državne pomoči;
According to Germany, the cash pool is not financed directly out of the budget of the Land, but from the surplus cash of the participants.
družbe na določanje cen medsebojno vplivajo le, če gre pri njihovih proizvodih za nadomestke ali dopolnila;
Germany explains further that any surplus of cash in the cash pool is invested on the capital markets;
ni nujno, da letališča iz istega zaledja medsebojno konkurirajo, primerjalna letališča, uporabljena v predloženih poročilih, pa se srečujejo samo z omejeno konkurenco letališč v državni lasti, ki so v njihovih ustreznih zaledjih (manj kot tretjina komercialnih letališč v zaledjih primerljivih letališč je v celoti v državni lasti, nobeno od teh pa ni bilo predmet preiskav v zvezi z državno pomočjo (od aprila 2013);
in the same way, a deficit is balanced by loans obtained on the capital market.
tudi kadar primerjalnim letališčem konkurirajo letališča v državni lasti iz istega zaledja, bi se lahko za njihovo ravnanje upravičeno štelo, da je v skladu z načelom udeleženca v tržem gospodarstvu (če gre na primer za velik lastniški delež v zasebni lasti ali z letališčem upravlja zasebna družba);
Thus, Germany was of the opinion that any financial support from the cash-pooling facility is not granted through State resources, and is also not imputable to the State.
letališča, ki so v skladu z načelom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, ne bodo določila cen, nižjih od dodatnih stroškov.
Germany pointed out that even though no collateral is required from the undertakings benefiting from the cash-pool, they are under the Land's supervision and as majority shareholder of FGAZ the Land could always request securities.
Zabeležka družbe Oxera št. 2 – Načela, na katerih temelji analiza donosnosti za preskuse udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
In Germany's opinion it makes economic sense that the mother company enables its subsidiaries to finance themselves at rates comparable to those available to the mother company — in this case the Land Rhineland-Palatinate — itself.
Družba Oxera je trdila, da je analiza donosnosti, ki jo je izvedla v svojih poročilih, predloženih Komisiji, v skladu z načeli, ki bi jih sprejel razumen vlagatelj iz zasebnega sektorja, in zajema pristop, ki je razviden iz predhodne prakse Komisije.
According to Germany, the financing derived from the cash pool could therefore not be compared to a classical loan.
Načela, na katerih temelji analiza donosnosti, so naslednja:
Germany finally asserted that the Land has never injected resources from its regular budget into the cash-pool, but has rather taken up capital on the market where necessary.
ocena se izvede postopoma;
Asserting that the loan, the guarantee and the cash-pool do not constitute State aid, Germany did not submit any arguments concerning their compatibility.
predhodni poslovni načrt ni nujno potreben;
Germany submitted that the contracts between Zweibrücken Airport and the various airlines did not contain any State aid, as they were not imputable to the State in the first place.
za letališče, ki ni prezasedeno, je ustrezna metodologija oblikovanja cen pristop enojnega obračunavanja;
It asserted that the negotiation and conclusion of those agreements was the responsibility of FZG, falling within the scope of its purely commercial tasks.
upoštevati bi se morali le prihodki, povezani z gospodarsko dejavnostjo obratujočega letališča;
Germany stated further that the Land did not directly participate in any negotiations on discounts with the airlines.
pri ocenjevanju donosnosti pogodb se ne bi smeli upoštevati prihodnji finančni tokovi;
Germany submitted that imputability could, finally, not stem from the fact that the schedule of charges had to be approved by a public supervisory authority according to § 43a LuftVZO, which is a general regulatory requirement applying to public and private airports alike.
dodatno donosnost pogodb z letalskim prevoznikom Ryanair bi bilo treba oceniti na podlagi ocen ukrepov za interno stopnjo donosnosti ali neto sedanjo vrednost.
Germany was further of the opinion that the discounts granted to various airlines did not confer any selective advantage upon them, as the discounts were equally available to all interested airlines.
Analiza profesorja Damiena P. McLoughlina – Krepitev znamke:
It submitted that the discounts would only have granted a selective advantage if they had not been available on a non-discriminatory basis and if one airline had paid higher or lower charges than others, without there being any objective reason for this differentiation.
zakaj in kako bi morale majhne znamke vlagati v trženje, pripravljeno za letalskega prevoznika Ryanair, 10. april 2013
According to Germany, at the same time, granting the discounts is said to have made economic sense for FZG, as it allowed the airlines to establish themselves at an airport that was new to commercial aviation.
Namen dokumenta je bil določiti poslovno logiko, na kateri temeljijo odločitve regionalnih letališč, da družbi AMS plačajo oglaševanje na spletnem mestu Ryanair.com.
Germany submitted that by granting the discounts, the Airport distributed the risk involved in establishing a new route between itself and the airlines, while also allowing both sides to profit from increasing passenger numbers.
V dokumentu je bilo navedeno, da obstajajo številna zelo močna, znana letališča, ki se pogosto uporabljajo.
Germany asserted that without the discounts, the airlines would not have been willing to establish themselves in Zweibrücken.
Da bi šibkejši konkurenti lahko razvijali svoj posel, morajo premagati statične nakupovalne navade potrošnikov.
Germany stated that the rebates for the airlines have to be regarded as a possibility to generate additional income for FZG, as the fixed costs for operating the airport had to be incurred in any event (to serve general and military aviation) while the establishment of new airlines only causes very marginal additional variable costs.
Manjša regionalna letališča morajo najti način za dosledno seznanjanje čim širšega občinstva s sporočilom svoje znamke.
According to Germany the reduced airport fees are not selective because they were granted on a non-discriminatory basis.
Zabeležki družbe Oxera št. 3 in 4 – Kako naj bi se sporazumi z družbo AMS obravnavali v okviru analize donosnosti pri preskusu udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu?, 17. in 31. januar 2014
Therefore, Germany was of the opinion that there was no distortion of competition.
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair je predložil dodatni poročili svetovalne družbe Oxera.
Germany asserted that the airlines were not able to create a stronger position on the market based on these fees.
V teh poročilih je družba Oxera obravnavala načela, ki bi jih bilo treba po mnenju letalskega prevoznika v okviru preskusa udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu upoštevati pri analizi donosnosti pogodb o letaliških storitvah med letalskim prevoznikom Ryanair in letališči ter pogodb o storitvah trženja med družbo AMS in istimi letališči [25].
Asserting that the discounts to various airlines do not constitute State aid, Germany did not submit any arguments concerning their compatibility.
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair je poudaril, da navedeni poročili nikakor ne vplivata na njegovo predhodno izraženo mnenje, tj. da bi bilo treba pogodbe o letaliških storitvah in storitvah trženja analizirati z ločenima preskusoma udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
Germany stressed that the marketing contracts concluded between the Land and AMS are independent from FZG.
V poročilih je navedeno, da bi bilo treba dobiček družbe AMS v skupni analizi donosnosti vključiti med prihodke, odhodke družbe AMS pa med stroške.
German asserted that the objective of the marketing contracts was to buy marketing services at market price that would primarily promote Land Rhineland-Palatinate as a destination for tourism and economic activities.
V ta namen je v poročilih predlagano, da se v skupni analizi donosnosti uporabi metoda na podlagi denarnega toka, kar pomeni, da bi se lahko izdatki letališč za družbo AMS šteli za dodatne operativne stroške.
According to Germany, as the marketing services agreement was not directed specifically at promoting the airport, there was no link between the marketing measures and passenger numbers.
V poročilih je poudarjeno, da dejavnosti trženja prispevajo k ustvarjanju in izboljšanju vrednosti znamke, kar prinaša učinke in koristi med trajanjem pogodbe ter po njenem prenehanju.
Germany stated that the marketing measures incidentally also aimed at promoting Zweibrücken Airport.
To bi zlasti veljalo, če bi zaradi dejstva, da je letalski prevoznik Ryanair s tem letališčem sklenil pogodbo, na letališču dejavnost začeli opravljati drugi letalski prevozniki, kar bi k poslovanju na letališču privabilo več trgovin, s tem pa bi se povečali prihodki letališča iz neletalskih dejavnosti.
Stressing that by concluding the marketing services agreement the Land simply purchased marketing services at market price, Germany submitted that the marketing contract did not contain State aid and did not have to be assessed as an aid measure benefiting an airline pursuant to the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
Po mnenju letalskega prevoznika Ryanair bi bilo treba te koristi, če bi Komisija izvedla skupno analizo donosnosti, upoštevati tako, da bi se odhodki družbe AMS šteli za dodatne operativne stroške, zmanjšane za plačila družbe AMS.
COMMENTS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair poleg tega meni, da bi bilo treba ob prenehanju pogodbe o letaliških storitvah v napovedani dodatni dobiček vključiti končno vrednost, da bi se upoštevala vrednost, ustvarjena po prenehanju pogodbe.
DISCOUNTED AIRPORT CHARGES
Končna vrednost bi se lahko prilagodila na podlagi verjetnosti „obnovitve“, s katero se meri pričakovanje, da se bo dobiček ohranil po prenehanju pogodbe z letalskim prevoznikom Ryanair ali po dogovoru o podobnih pogojih z drugimi letalskimi prevozniki.
Ryanair asserted that the discounts granted to various airlines by FZG did not contain State aid, as they complied with the MEO principle.
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair je menil, da bi se po upoštevanju negotovosti glede dodatnega dobička, ustvarjenega po prenehanju pogodbe o letaliških storitvah, lahko ocenila spodnja meja za koristi, ki izhajajo tako iz pogodbe z družbo AMS kot iz pogodbe o letaliških storitvah.
First, Ryanair argued that in applying the MEO principle to the relationship between airport and airlines, it should only be asked whether the contract was incrementally profitable for the airport.
Poročili ta pristop dopolnjujeta s povzetkom rezultatov študij o učinku trženja na vrednost znamke.
Ryanair considered that all infrastructure and fixed operating costs should be treated as sunk costs.
V navedenih študijah je priznano, da se lahko s trženjem podpre vrednost znamke in pripomore k oblikovanju baze strank.
According to Ryanair, when assessing whether the contract complied with the MEO principle, the Commission should thus only take the incremental costs of the airport, which are directly related to providing airport services to the airline in question, into account, and examine whether the total revenue derived from the contract outweighs those incremental costs.
V skladu s poročili oglaševanje letališča na spletnem mestu Ryanair.com poveča zlasti prepoznavnost znamke.
In this context, Ryanair emphasised that none of the infrastructure costs were incurred in connection with the agreement between Ryanair and FZG, and they could thus not count as incremental costs connected to that agreement.
Navedeno je tudi, da lahko manjša regionalna letališča, ki želijo povečati svoj zračni promet, vrednost svoje znamke povečajo zlasti s sklenitvijo pogodb o storitvah trženja z družbo AMS.
In assessing the revenue, on the other hand, Ryanair asserted that the Commission must also take account of network externalities that would have been expected to materialise when FZG and Ryanair concluded the services contract in 2008.
Nazadnje je v poročilih navedeno, da ima pristop na podlagi denarnega toka prednost pred pristopom na podlagi kapitalizacije, v okviru katerega bi se stroški storitev trženja, ki jih zagotovi družba AMS, šteli za naložbo v nematerialno premoženje (tj. vrednost znamke letališča) [26].
Ryanair stated that the fact that those network externalities did not materialise, in the end, could not have been foreseen and is therefore of no relevance.
V pristopu na podlagi kapitalizacije bi se upošteval le delež izdatkov za trženje, ki se ga lahko pripiše neopredmetenim sredstvom letališča.
Ryanair further explained that the discount did not selectively favour Ryanair.
Stroški trženja bi se šteli za naložbo v nematerialno premoženje in bi se amortizirali med trajanjem pogodbe, pri čemer bi se ob koncu načrtovanega prenehanja pogodbe o letaliških storitvah upoštevala preostala vrednost.
Ryanair asserted that the discount available for the first year of operations was offered in recognition of the significant commercial risk it took when establishing scheduled year-round operations to an airport that was unknown at that time.
Pri tem pristopu se ne bi upošteval dodatni dobiček, ki bi nastal s prenehanjem pogodbe o letaliških storitvah z letalskim prevoznikom Ryanair, prav tako pa je težko izračunati vrednost nematerialnega premoženja zaradi odhodkov za znamko in časovno obdobje uporabe tega sredstva.
According to Ryanair, in the case of Zweibrücken it would have made no sense for Ryanair to accept such a commercial risk without an incentive scheme.
Metoda na podlagi denarnega toka je primernejša od pristopa na podlagi kapitalizacije, saj se s slednjim ne bi zajele pozitivne koristi, ki bi jih imelo letališče zaradi podpisa pogodbe o letaliških storitvah z letalskim prevoznikom Ryanair.
Ryanair furthermore stated that a similar arrangement was open to any other airline, that is to say, the discount on airport services fees for the first year of operation was available to all airlines starting new routes from Zweibrücken.
POGODBE O STORITVAH TRŽENJA
In particular, Ryanair stressed that its contract with FZG contained a clause providing that ‘[t]his Agreement is entered into on a non-exclusive basis.
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair je poudaril, da so pogodbe o storitvah trženja družbe AMS ločene od njegovih pogodb z letališči in bi se morale oceniti ločeno, ker se letalski prevoznik Ryanair in družba AMS ne moreta obravnavati kot en sam upravičenec.
The Parties agree that the conditions granted to Ryanair according to the Agreement are also available, on a transparent and non-discriminatory basis, to any other airline that would commit itself to an equivalent volume of airline activity at the Airport’ [24].
O pogodbah se je pogajalo ločeno v zvezi z različnimi storitvami in niso bile predmet povezav, zaradi katerih bi jih bilo mogoče šteti za edini domnevni ukrep državne pomoči.
In any event, Ryanair put forward that the agreements between itself and FZG cannot contain State aid as they are not imputable to the State.
Sklenitev pogodbe o storitvah trženja z družbo AMS ni pogoj za to, da letalski prevoznik Ryanair opravlja zračni prevoz na rutah na letališče in z njega.
Ryanair claimed that the evidence used by the Commission in order to show imputability to the State is not sufficient, as it may reflect the public authorities' interest in the airport's commercial relations and future, but does not show any actual involvement of any of the public authorities in FZG's negotiations and agreements with Ryanair.
Slednji je poudaril, da je družba AMS pogodbo o storitvah trženja sklenila z ministrstvom, ki je solastnik letališča, zaradi česar je letališče sicer imelo koristi, vendar namen pogodbe ni bil izboljšati dejavnika obremenitve ali donosa na rutah, na katerih opravlja zračni prevoz letalski prevoznik Ryanair.
Furthermore, Ryanair submitted a series of notes prepared by Oxera, and an analysis prepared by Professor Damien P. McLoughlin.
Kar zadeva vrednost trženja, je letalski prevoznik Ryanair trdil, da je prostor za trženje na njegovem spletnem mestu omejen vir, povpraševanje po tem prostoru pa veliko, tudi s strani podjetij, ki niso letališča.
Oxera Note 1 — Identifying the market benchmark in comparator analysis for MEO tests.
Po mnenju letalskega prevoznika Ryanair danes celo tradicionalni letalski prevozniki prepoznavajo vrednost svojih spletnih strani za trženje in oglaševanje.
Ryanair State aid cases, prepared for Ryanair by Oxera, 9 April 2013
Navedel je, da se letališča odločajo graditi znamko z oglaševanjem na spletnem mestu Ryanair.com ali spletnih mestih drugih letalskih prevoznikov.
Oxera believed that the Commission's approach of only accepting comparator airports in the same catchment area as the airport under investigation is flawed.
Trdil je tudi, da imajo letališča od večje prepoznavnosti znamke več koristi v smislu medsebojne krepitve in dopolnjevanja.
Oxera argued that market benchmark prices obtained from comparator airports are not tainted by State aid given to surrounding airports.
Letališče Zweibrücken je v mednarodnem prostoru precej manj poznano kot letališče Pariz ali Heathrow, zato mora vlagati v oglaševanje, da bi izboljšalo prepoznavnost svoje znamke in povečalo število prihajajočih potnikov.
Therefore, it is possible to robustly estimate a market benchmark for the MEO tests.
Letalski prevoznik Ryanair je zaključil, da je imela zvezna dežela dvojno motivacijo za sklenitev pogodbe o storitvah trženja z družbo AMS:
This is because:
prva je bila povsem poslovna, ker je 50-odstotni solastnik upravljavca letališča Zweibrücken;
comparator analyses are widely used for MEO tests outside of the field of State aid;
druga, ker je spodbujanje turizma in poslovnih priložnosti v zvezni deželi del njenih dolžnosti.
companies affect each other's pricing decisions only to the extent that their products are substitutes or complements;
Zato meni, da je zvezna dežela kupila dragocene tržne storitve po tržnih cenah.
airports in the same catchment area do not necessarily compete with each other, and the comparator airports used in the reports submitted face only limited competition from State-owned airports within their respective catchment areas (less than 1/3 of commercial airports within the catchment areas of the comparator airports are fully State owned, and none of them were subject to State aid investigations (as of April 2013));
Družba AMS je navedla, da Komisija v nasprotju s tem, kar je predlagano v sklepu o začetku postopka, pogodbe družbe FZG z letalskim prevoznikom Ryanair in pogodbe zvezne dežele o storitvah trženja z družbo AMS ne bi smela obravnavati kot povezani, temveč kot dve ločeni poslovni transakciji.
