In that respect the Commission notes that, even if some airports are privately owned or managed without social or regional considerations, the prices charged by these airports might be strongly influenced by the prices charged by other publicly subsidized airport managers as these latter prices are taken into account by airlines during their negotiations with the privately owned or managed airports.
(25. januar 2002)
In this case, the Commission notes that Ryanair itself considered that as Alghero airport is located on an island, with not many large cities or airports in proximity, it is difficult to find comparators with nearly identical characteristics.
od 1. januarja 2002 do 31. decembra 2012
Ryanair further noted that the mixed results of the benchmarking exercise could be explained by the difference in GDP in Sardinia, compared with the GDP in the areas where potential comparator airports are located.
Sporazum o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2003
Finally, the Commission notes that even if reliable comparators were available, a benchmarking exercise would in any event not have been possible in the present case.
(1. september 2003)
Indeed, the arrangements under investigation include airport services and marketing agreements which lay down different ‘prices’, namely different airport charges, handling charges and the marketing fees.
od 1. septembra 2003 do 1. septembra 2014
Some of those charges depend on the number of passengers, some on the number of turnarounds, whilst others are fixed.
Sporazum o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2006
Therefore each of those agreements imply complex financial flows between the airport manager and the airlines (and their subsidiaries) operating at the airport, namely airport charges, handling fees and marketing fees.
(3. april 2006)
Therefore the Commission considers that a comparison between the airport charges charged by So.Ge.A.AL to the airlines operating at Alghero airport with the airport charges payable at comparator airports would not provide any useful indication for the purpose of applying the MEOP.
od 1. januarja 2006 do 31. decembra 2010
In order for such a benchmarking exercise to produce reliable results, it would be necessary that at least comparable arrangements are found at the comparator airports, which should include in particular similar marketing payments and handling fees.
Sporazum o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2010
Given the specificity and complexity of the arrangements at stake, the Commission considers that such benchmarking exercise cannot be carried out, notably also given that the prices charged for handling services and marketing services are rarely made public and would therefore not be readily available for the purpose of such exercise.
(20. oktober 2010)
Neither has Ryanair provided such data for the two comparators.
od 1. januarja 2010 do 31. decembra 2013
In any event, even if it would be assumed that a benchmarking exercise could be carried out with similar arrangements in force at comparable airports, which would lead the Commission to conclude that the ‘prices’ in question are equivalent or even superior to the ‘market price’, the Commission could not conclude on this basis that the arrangements under investigation are market-conform if it would turn out that at the moment the arrangements in question were entered into by the airport manager, the later could have reasonably expected that they would result in incremental costs in excess of incremental revenues.
Vendar noben od navedenih poslovnih načrtov ni bil pripravljen posebej za določen sporazum, sklenjen med družbo So.Ge.A.AL in letalskimi prevozniki, ki delujejo na letališču Alghero, ali družbo AMS.
Indeed, a MEO would not have had any interest in offering its goods or services at ‘market price’ if this was expected to result in incremental losses.
Poleg tega ne zajemajo celotnega obdobja trajanja sporazumov družbe So.Ge.A.AL z navedenimi letalskimi prevozniki.
Therefore the Commission considers that the airline arrangements at airports put forward by Ryanair as allegedly relevant comparators cannot constitute an appropriate benchmark to establish the market price for services provided by So.Ge.A.AL to the different airlines at Alghero airport.
Kot je bilo navedeno, je Italija pripravila rekonstruirano predhodno analizo donosnosti sporazumov z družbo Ryanair na podlagi dodatnih stroškov in prihodkov, ki bi jih udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu na mestu družbe So.Ge.A.AL lahko razumno pričakoval ob sklenitvi vsakega od teh sporazumov v preiskovanem obdobju, tj. obdobju 2000–2010, kot je povzeto v preglednici 8.
In the absence of an identifiable market benchmark, the Commission considers that the ex ante incremental profitability analysis is the relevant criterion for the assessment of arrangements concluded by the airport with individual airlines.
Družba So.Ge.A.AL bi lahko na podlagi teh analiz v času sklenitve sporazumov z družbo Ryanair razumno pričakovala, da bodo letališču prinesli dobiček.
In this analysis, all the relevant incremental revenues and costs associated with the transaction must be taken into account.
Pri rekonstruirani analizi pričakovane donosnosti sporazumov o letaliških storitvah za leta 2000, 2002 in 2003 je bil uporabljen poslovni načrt družbe So.Ge.A.AL iz leta 2000, pri rekonstruirani analizi sporazumov o letaliških storitvah iz let 2006 in 2010 pa sta bila uporabljena poslovna načrta iz let 2004 in 2009.
The various elements (discounts to airport charges, marketing grants, other financial incentives) must not be assessed separately.
Vendar o vseh dodatnih prihodkih in stroških, povezanih s posameznim sporazumom z družbo Ryanair, ni bilo mogoče sklepati iz poslovnih načrtov družbe So.Ge.A.AL.
Indeed, as stated in the Charleroi judgment: ‘It is […] necessary, when applying the private investor test, to envisage the commercial transaction as a whole in order to determine whether the public entity and the entity which is controlled by it, taken together, have acted as rational operators in a market economy.
Italija je za tiste kategorije dodatnih prihodkov in stroškov, o katerih ni bilo mogoče sklepati iz poslovnih načrtov, svojo analizo dodatnega dobička sporazumov, ki jih je družba So.Ge.A.AL sklenila z družbo Ryanair, izvedla na podlagi določb sporazumov o letaliških storitvah in o tržnih storitvah.
The Commission must, when assessing the measures at issue, examine all the relevant features of the measures and their context […]’ [104].
Preglednica 8
The expected incremental revenues must include in particular the revenues from airport charges, taking into account the discounts as well as the traffic expected to be generated by the agreement, and the non-aeronautical revenues expected to be generated by the additional traffic.
Neto sedanje vrednosti denarnih tokov, pričakovanih na podlagi sporazumov z družbo Ryanair –poročilo o udeležencu v tržnem gospodarstvu iz leta 2014 [108]
The expected incremental costs must include in particular all the incremental operating and investment costs that would not be incurred absent the agreement such as incremental personnel, equipment and investment costs induced by the presence of the airline at the airport as well as the costs of the marketing grants and other financial incentives.
Neto sedanja vrednost v času trajanja sporazuma (v mio.
On the contrary, costs which the airport would have to incur anyway independently from the arrangement with the airline should not be taken into account in the MEOP assessment.
EUR) [109]
The Commission also notes in this context that price differentiation (including marketing support and other incentives) is a standard business practice.
Sporazum o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2000
There can be various reasons for not offering the same conditions to all airlines.
Sporazum o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2002
In particular, it can be rational to offer specific financial incentives (including in the form of marketing grants) and specific discounts to the published airport charges to airlines that bring a high number of passengers to the airport.
Predpostavke, ki so se upoštevale za namene rekonstruirane analize donosnosti, so podrobno pojasnjene v uvodnih izjavah 459 do 471.
Those favourable conditions can be objectively justified by the expected additional traffic, in view of the non-aeronautical revenues brought about by that additional traffic [105] and also because, even if the margin per passenger generated by the airport charges paid by the airline is reduced by the discounts and financial incentives, this margin may be significant in absolute terms in light of the numbers of passengers at stake.
Prihodki iz letalskih dejavnosti
For the purposes of assessing whether such discounts and financial incentives confer an economic advantage, it must be determined whether, when the airport manager took the decision to offer them, it could reasonably expect this decision to be profitable, or in other words, to lead to a higher profit (or lower losses) than would be achieved in the counterfactual situation.
Italija je upoštevala različne kategorije prihodkov iz letalskih dejavnosti, zlasti prihodke od pristojbin za pristajanje, za zemeljsko oskrbo in od prodaje letalskih kart.
Besides, the Commission notes that the agreements concluded by So.Ge.A.AL with the airlines operating at the airport were part of the long term strategy of the airport.
Kjer so bile na voljo, so se uporabile pristojbine iz sporazumov o letaliških storitvah.
It is evident from So.Ge.A.AL's business plans (see recitals 59-75) that it relied on low-costs airlines as major growth driver and that it was expected to reverse previous declines and return to viability once it was awarded the comprehensive concession for the management of Alghero airport.
Za pristojbine, ki niso bile določene v sporazumih o letaliških storitvah, so predpostavke temeljile na podatkih z računov, ki jih je predložila družba Ryanair.
Therefore, the condition mentioned at recital 399 is satisfied by all contracts under assessment.
Vendar je Italija pojasnila, da so podatki z računov družbe Ryanair o pristojbinah skladni s pristojbinami za vse letališke storitve, ki jih je objavila družba So.Ge.A.AL, razen s pristojbinami za oskrbo.
It results from all that precedes that for each agreement under investigation, if it can be established that at the time when it was concluded, a MEO guided by profitability prospects and acting in lieu of So.Ge.A.AL could have expected the future incremental costs to be generated by the agreement to be offset by future incremental revenues, then this agreement complies with the MEOP and does not constitute State aid.
Družbi Ryanair se je na podlagi obsega delovanja prevoznika na letališču dodelil popust na pristojbine za oskrbo, kar je bilo zajeto v sporazumih o letaliških storitvah.
On the joint assessment of the ASAs with Ryanair and marketing agreements with AMS
Da bi se lahko izračunalo dodatne prihodke iz letalskih dejavnosti, je družba So.Ge.A.AL informacije o potnikih in obračanjih družbe Ryanair iz sporazumov o letaliških storitvah dopolnila z informacijami iz poslovnih načrtov.
In the 2012 Decision, the Commission considered that for the purpose of application of the MEOP, the ASAs with Ryanair and the marketing services agreements with Ryanair and AMS and their financial consequences had to be assessed together as one single measure.
V sporazumih o letaliških storitvah iz let 2000, 2002 in 2003 ni bilo nobenih napovedi glede prometa.
Ryanair did not dispute that the marketing agreements concluded directly between Ryanair and So.Ge.A.AL in 2002 and 2003 should be assessed together with the 2002 and 2003 ASAs.
Napovedi glede prometa, na katerih je temeljila analiza sporazumov o letaliških storitvah iz let 2000, 2002 in 2003, izhajajo iz poslovnega načrta družbe So.Ge.A.AL iz leta 2000, ki je vseboval napovedi glede prometa družbe Ryanair na letališču.
However, Ryanair rejected the preliminary conclusion of the Commission that Ryanair and AMS must be considered as a single entity and a given ASA entered into by So.Ge.A.AL and Ryanair, and a marketing service agreement entered into by So.Ge.A.AL and AMS at the same time should be assessed jointly for the purpose of assessment of the existence of an economic advantage.
Čeprav so bili v sporazumih o letaliških storitvah iz let 2006 in 2010 navedeni nekateri cilji glede prometa za družbo Ryanair, je Italija pojasnila, da ti cilji niso izražali pričakovanj družbe So.Ge.A.AL glede skupnega obsega prometa družbe Ryanair na letališču.
According to Ryanair, the ASAs concluded with Ryanair and the marketing services agreements concluded with AMS would be separate and independent, they would relate to different services and would not be subject to any contractual or other link between them justifying their consideration as a single set of measures.
Po mnenju družbe So.Ge.A.AL so ti cilji predstavljali najmanjšo pogodbeno obveznost družbe Ryanair.
That view was supported by AMS.
Za sporazuma o letaliških storitvah iz let 2006 in 2010 so torej napovedi glede prometa temeljile na zadnjih poslovnih načrtih, ki jih je družba So.Ge.A.AL pripravila pred podpisom sporazumov o letaliških storitvah iz let 2006 in 2010 (napovedi glede prometa temeljijo na poslovnih načrtih družbe So.Ge.A.AL iz let 2004 in 2009).
In that sense, the Commission notes that there are several indications clearly pointing towards the fact that the agreements are to be evaluated as one single measure since they were concluded within the framework of a single transaction.
Poslovni načrti družbe So.Ge.A.AL ne zajemajo celotnega obdobja njenih pogodbenih obveznosti z letalskimi prevozniki; da bi se analizo donosnosti razširilo na celotno trajanje sporazumov z družbo Ryanair, so se za leta, ki niso bila vključena v poslovne načrte, napovedi zračnega prometa (rotacij) in odhodov potnikov razvile v dveh korakih.
First, the agreements were concluded by the same parties at the same time:
Prvič, število obračanj družbe Ryanair se je napovedalo s posodobitvijo števila obračanj za zadnje leto iz poslovnega načrta ob predpostavki, da se bo število obračanj letno povečalo za 19 %.
For the purpose of the application of State aid rules, AMS and Ryanair are considered to be a single undertaking, in the sense that AMS acts in the interest and under the control of Ryanair.
Prihodki iz neletalskih dejavnosti
For the present agreements, this can also be inferred from the fact that the respective marketing agreement states in its preamble that ‘AMS has the exclusive license to offer marketing services on the travel website www.ryanair.com, the website of the Irish low fares airline Ryanair.’
Predpostavke glede prihodkov iz neletalskih dejavnosti so temeljile na zadnjih poslovnih načrtih, ki jih je družba So.Ge.A.AL pripravila pred podpisom posameznega sporazuma o letaliških storitvah, kot je navedeno v preglednici 9:
Therefore, if So.Ge.A.AL intended to promote a Ryanair destination and the surrounding regions, then this can only be done via AMS;
Preglednica 9
The respective agreements in all cases were concluded on the same dates.
Predpostavke glede pričakovanega prihodka iz neletalskih dejavnosti
Second, the preambles of the 2006 and 2010 marketing agreements with AMS state that the ‘website www.ryanair.com provides a unique opportunity for targeting millions of potential Ryanair passengers and presents extensive information about airports, cities and regions that Ryanair operates to’.
Prihodki iz neletalskih dejavnosti na odhajajočega potnika
This indicates that the purpose of the marketing agreement is not generally to promote Sardinia, but more specifically to maximise ticket sales for the Ryanair destination Alghero.
Vir
Indeed, the preambles state that So.Ge.A.AL is to target Ryanair passengers in order to promote tourism and business opportunities in the region, and in particular Alghero airport as a destination.
Poslovni načrt iz leta 2000
Third, the marketing agreements with AMS state in their first section, entitled ‘Purpose of the Agreement’, that they are ‘rooted in the Ryanair's commitment to operate on routes between Alghero and EU destinations’ (the 2006 agreement mentions London-Stansted, Barcelona Gerona, Frankfurt Hahn, Pisa, Liverpool and Rome).
Poslovni načrt iz leta 2004
This wording establishes an unambiguous direct link between the airport service agreements and the marketing agreements in the sense that one would not have been concluded without the other.
Poslovni načrt iz leta 2009
The marketing agreements are based on the conclusion of the airport services agreements and the services provided by Ryanair.
Za obdobje posameznega sporazuma o letaliških storitvah, ki ni bilo zajeto v zadevnih poslovnih načrtih, se je zadnja razpoložljiva napoved prihodkov iz neletalskih dejavnosti na odhajajočega potnika prenesla naprej v vsako leto do konca trajanja sporazuma.
Fourth, the marketing agreements state in their preamble that So.Ge.A.AL has decided to ‘actively promote the city of Alghero and the region as a holiday destination for international air travellers and also as an attractive business centre.’
Dodatni stroški
This is an indication that the conclusion of the marketing agreements has as its primary and specific purpose to promote specifically Alghero airport and the surrounding region and is therefore linked to the conclusion of the airport services agreement by Ryanair.
Ker ni bilo na voljo informacij o pričakovanih dodatnih stroških, povezanih z nudenjem storitev družbi Ryanair v času podpisa posameznega sporazuma o letaliških storitvah, je Italija dodatne stroške ocenila na podlagi razmerja med stroški poslovanja letališča in številom potnikov.
Fifth, the marketing agreements can be terminated immediately by So.Ge.A.AL in the event that Ryanair stops operating the abovementioned routes.
Za opredelitev, kako se stroški poslovanja spreminjajo s številom potnikov, se je uporabil regresijski pristop, da bi se ocenili dodatni stroški, ki bi jih lahko družba So.Ge.A.AL v času podpisa sporazumov o letaliških storitvah z družbo Ryanair razumno pričakovala.
This demonstrates again that the marketing agreements and the ASAs are inseparably linked.
Najprej se je izvedla regresijska analiza za opredelitev učinka spremembe števila potnikov na letališču na stroške poslovanja letališča.
Finally, the Commission notes that it is clear from the analysis of So.Ge.A.AL's 2000 annual report that the marketing support had been asked by Ryanair as a condition for the operation of the London route at the time the 2000 ASA was entered into.
Nato se je na podlagi rezultatov iz prejšnjega koraka, združenih z napovedmi števila potnikov družbe Ryanair, pridobila ocena dodatnih stroškov poslovanja, ki izhajajo iz sporazumov z družbo Ryanair.
This reading is also confirmed by the fact that the marketing support costs were considered by So.Ge.A.AL an operational cost of the Ryanair route, rather than an investment in brand development as claimed by Ryanair and AMS.
Upoštevale so se naslednje postavke stroškov:
In conclusion, the marketing service agreements concluded by So.Ge.A.AL and AMS are indivisibly linked to the ASAs signed by Ryanair and So.Ge.A.AL.
dodatni stroški osebja;
The considerations in recitals 421 to 426 demonstrate that without the ASAs, the marketing services agreements would not have been concluded.
dodatni stroški blaga in storitev, varovanja, zalog in materialov;
For those reasons, the Commission concludes that the ASAs and the marketing services agreements are not severable and therefore finds it necessary to analyse each marketing service agreement together with the ASA that was concluded at the same time, with a view to determining whether such a transaction constitutes State aid.
plačila družbi Ryanair ali AMS za spodbude za uvedbo novih rut, trženje in/ali nagrade za uspešnost, in
On the benefits that an MEO could have expected to gain from marketing service agreements and the price that it would have been willing to pay for these services
koncesijski stroški.
For the purpose of application of the MEO test in this case the conduct of RAS and So.Ge.A.AL has to be compared with that of a prudent MEO entrusted with the management of the Alghero airport, guided by profitability prospects.
Da bi se dodatne stroške osebja, ki so nastali zaradi sporazumov z družbo Ryanair, ocenilo za obdobje po letu 2006, se je na podlagi podatkov o skupnih stroških osebja letališča izvedla statistična analiza, da bi se ugotovil delež stroškov, ki se je spreminjal v skladu s spreminjanjem števila potnikov [111].
This assessment should leave aside any positive repercussions on the economy of the region in which the airport is located, since the Court has clarified that the relevant question for applying the MEO test is whether ‘in similar circumstances a private shareholder, having regard to the foreseeability of obtaining a return and leaving aside all social, regional-policy and sectoral considerations, would have subscribed the capital in question’ [106].
Stroški dodatnega osebja so se nato ocenili na podlagi rezultatov regresije, združenih z ocenjenim številom potnikov družbe Ryanair.
When analysing the measures in question, it is necessary to examine the benefits that this hypothetical MEO, motivated by the prospect of profits, could gain from purchasing marketing services.
Drugi stroški: Podobno se je izvedla regresijska analiza za oceno dodatnih stroškov blaga in materialov [112], storitev [113], varnosti in zalog, saj ti stroški v poslovnih načrtih niso bili navedeni.
This analysis should not take into account the general impact of such services on tourism and the region's economic performance.
Spodbude za nove rute, trženje in/ali nagrade za uspešnost, ki so se plačale družbi Ryanair, so bile vključene kot strošek letališča.
Only the impact of those services on the airport's profitability should be taken into account, as this would be the only concern for a hypothetical MEO.
Dodatni koncesijski stroški [114] so temeljili na stroških na enoto na ravni letališča, pomnoženih z napovedmi glede prometa za družbo Ryanair.
Marketing services have in principle the potential to stimulate passenger traffic on the air routes covered by marketing service agreements and the ASAs, as the marketing services are designed to promote those air routes.
Po trditvah Italije ni bil namen družbe So.Ge.A.AL, da stroške novega potniškega terminala povrne s pristojbinami, ki bi jih plačala družba Ryanair.
Although this impact will mainly benefit the airline concerned, it may also be of benefit to the airport manager.
Povedano drugače, stroškov naložb, povezanih z novim terminalom, ni mogoče pripisati nobenemu od sporazumov z družbo Ryanair, zato ne sodijo med dodatne stroške.
In addition, an increase in passenger traffic may lead to an increase in revenues generated by certain airport charges for the airport manager, as well as an increase in non-aeronautical revenues, in particular from car parks, restaurants and other businesses located at the airport, and whose turnover fully or partly accrue to the airport manager.
Plačila družbi AMS za trženje so se upoštevala kot stroški letališča.
Therefore, an MEO operating Alghero airport instead of So.Ge.A.AL and RAS would have taken this possible positive effect into account when considering entering into a marketing service agreement and the corresponding ASA.
Hkrati se je kot prihodek letališča prištela „končna vrednost“, da bi se zajele koristi sporazumov o tržnih in o letaliških storitvah, ki bodo po mnenju Italije trajale tudi po prenehanju sporazuma o tržnih storitvah.
The MEO would have taken into account the impact of the air route in question on future revenues and costs by, in this case, estimating the increase in the number of passengers using those routes, which would have reflected the possible positive effect of marketing services in the form of a higher expected load ratio (or load factor) [107] for those air routes.
„Končna vrednost“ se izračuna na podlagi enakega pristopa, kot ga je uporabila družba Ryanair in je podrobno opisan v uvodnih izjavah 443 do 446.
