natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
Leipzig/Halle airport is located in the region of Middle Germany (close to five major Trans-European transport axes and Pan-European corridors) between the axes from North to South Europe (that is to say Federal motorway A 9) and from the West to Eastern Europe (that is to say Federal motorway A 14) with an access to rail and road network.
Drugič, naložbeni projekt na letališču je lahko samo po sebi gospodarsko privlačen.
Moreover, according to Germany, due to its location in the centre of Europe and its surrounding market of approximately 7 million persons within 100 km of the airport and its location next to road and rail infrastructure, the airport has large growth potential.
Zato je treba preveriti in potrditi, da se naložba ne bi izvedla ali se ne bi izvedla v enakem obsegu brez državne pomoči.
As stated in recital 319, the air freight sector is showing considerable growth rates (that is to say an average growth rate in international passenger transport between 2007 and 2011 of approximately 5,0 % and on the freight side of 4,3 %) [75].
Če se to potrdi, bo Komisija upoštevala, da ima ukrep pomoči spodbujevalni učinek.
However, the current airport capacities are facing night flight constraints (see recital 319).
Spodbujevalni učinek se ugotovi na podlagi analize hipotetičnih scenarijev, pri čemer se primerjajo ravni nameravane dejavnosti s pomočjo in brez nje.
As mentioned in recital 319, it is expected that the airport will experience a gradual but significant increase in freight traffic.
Če poseben hipotetični scenarij ni znan, se lahko spodbujevalni učinek določi, kadar obstaja vrzel v financiranju stroškov investicijskega vzdrževanja, tj. kadar se lahko na podlagi predhodnega poslovnega načrta dokaže, da obstaja razlika med pozitivnimi in negativnimi denarnimi tokovi (vključno s stroški naložbe v osnovna sredstva) med trajanjem naložbe v neto sedanji vrednosti [78].
In order to complement its statement, Germany pointed out that the air cargo volume rose by 18,5 % in 2009 and 26,5 % in 2010.
V tem primeru je Nemčija predložila izračun vrzeli v financiranju, na podlagi katerega je ugotovljena vrzel znašala vsaj 142,1 milijona EUR (glej preglednici 5 in 6).
According to Germany, a further increase in cargo volume was expected.
Poleg tega analiza hipotetičnega scenarija kaže, da če bi se infrastrukturne naložbe v celoti financirale s posojili, letališče ne bi moglo zagotoviti potrebnih finančnih sredstev.
In this respect Germany clarified that approximately 820000 tonnes of air cargo were expected to be handled by 2020 [76].
Zato lahko Komisija sklene, da ima pomoč za naložbe spodbujevalni učinek.
However, Germany submitted that, this forecast will be already met by 2015 [77].
Pomoč mora biti omejena na najnižji znesek, potreben za spodbujanje naložbe ali dejavnosti na zadevnem področju.
Further increase is expected in the future in the freight traffic operations in particular with regard to further night flights restrictions at other German airports (that is to say Frankfurt Main and others).
Da bi bila pomoč za naložbe, dodeljena letališčem, sorazmerna, mora biti omejena na dodatne stroške (neto dodatne prihodke), ki izhajajo iz izvajanja projekta/dejavnosti z dodeljeno pomočjo, in ne iz alternativnega projekta/dejavnosti, ki bi ga upravičenec izvedel v hipotetičnem scenariju, tj. če ne bi prejel pomoči.
The Commission notes that the implementation of the project will have a positive impact on the entire region and will positively influence its economic and social development.
Če poseben hipotetični scenarij ni znan, bi bila pomoč sorazmerna, če njen znesek ne presega vrzeli v financiranju naložbenega projekta (t. i. vrzel v financiranju stroškov investicijskega vzdrževanja), ki se določi na podlagi predhodnega poslovnega načrta kot neto sedanja vrednost razlike med pozitivnimi in negativnimi denarnimi tokovi (vključno s stroški naložbe) med trajanjem naložbe.
Germany submitted that currently 133 companies were present at the airport, employing a total of 5106 people in 2010 (an increase by 14,4 % in comparison to 2009).
Poslovni načrt pomoči za naložbe bi moral zajemati obdobje gospodarske uporabe sredstev.
Germany stated further that the investment project will in particular improve access to the region and increase its attractiveness for investors and visitors.
Intenzivnost pomoči ne sme v nobenem primeru preseči dejanske vrzeli v financiranju naložbenega projekta.
The Commission notes that this was also supported by the observations of the third parties (see section 4).
Kot je navedeno v oddelkih 6.5.2.2 in 6.5.2.3, je Nemčija predložila dopolnilni izračun vrzeli v financiranju priglašenega projekta, ki znaša 142,1 milijona EUR, kar upravičuje 75-odstotno intenzivnost pomoči (glej preglednico 6), pod pogojem, da bi se kapitalske injekcije izvedle sočasno z izvajajočimi se naložbami.
Moreover, this should have a positive impact on employment bearing in mind that unemployment is significantly higher in the Leipzig/Halle region (unemployment in the Sachsen region amounts to 10,3 %, in Saxony-Anhalt to 11,2 %) than the national average (of 6,9 %).
Vendar ker se bodo kapitalske injekcije izvedle šele po tem, ko jih Komisija odobri leta 2014, vrzel v financiranju, ki jo je določila Nemčija, znaša 166,9 milijonov EUR, kar upravičuje 88,1-odstotno intenzivnost pomoči (glej preglednico 5).
The Commission can therefore conclude that the construction and operation of the infrastructure meets a well-defined objective of common interest, being the development of an airport with a large air freight component in line with Union policy in this respect, due account being taken of regional aspects and that the criterion of compatibility is fulfilled in the present case.
Ker ni praga za največje dovoljene intenzivnosti pomoči na letališčih tovornega prometa, je intenzivnost pomoči omejena na vrzel v financiranju naložbenega projekta.
A State aid measure must be targeted towards a situation where aid can bring about a material improvement that the market cannot deliver itself, for example by remedying a market failure or addressing an equity or cohesion concern.
Zato lahko Komisija sklene, da je pomoč sorazmerna in omejena na najnižji potreben znesek.
Germany submitted that Leipzig/Halle airport suffers from a historical investment backlog.
Negativni vplivi pomoči morajo biti dovolj omejeni, da je skupni rezultat pomoči pozitiven.
Germany was of the view that the financing is limited to the necessary and legally foreseen minimum, both in terms of aid amount and aid intensity.
Da se nadalje omejijo izkrivljanja, mora biti letališče, vključno z naložbami, za katere je bila odobrena pomoč, odprto za vse možne uporabnike in ne sme biti namenjeno enemu samemu uporabniku.
In addition, according to Germany the measures concern long-term infrastructure investments which address the needs of the airport in view of the future increase of freight and passenger transport.
V primeru fizične omejitve zmogljivosti, se pomoč odobri na podlagi ustreznega, objektivnega, preglednega in nediskriminacijskega merila.
Germany argued that the measures are not disproportionate in size nor disproportionately costly.
Nemčija je dejala, da so ukrepi na splošno pozitivno vplivali na konkurenco in trgovino med državami članicami.
Germany stated that the costs have been reduced to a minimum level following thorough advance planning and cost estimates.
V zvezi s tem je najprej potrdila, da bo vsem možnim uporabnikom (letalski prevozniki in letalski prevozniki tovora) zagotovljen enak in nediskriminacijski dostop do infrastrukture.
In Germany’s opinion, a further reduction of State financing is not possible as infrastructure of this magnitude cannot be financed by airport operators from their own resources.
Nadalje je Nemčija trdila, da zadevni infrastrukturni ukrepi niso ekspanzivni.
Germany has raised the argument that revenues from the services do not cover the costs of building the infrastructure and substantiated this argument on the basis of a funding gap analysis and a counterfactual assessment.
Kar zadeva možne vplive na konkurente letališča Leipzig/Halle, je dejala, da letališča v njegovi bližini niso specializirana za zračni tovorni promet.
The Commission concludes that the aid will bring a material improvement for the investment project that the market itself does not deliver and that there is a need for State intervention.
Poleg tega je v zvezi z letališči Altenburg-Nobitz, Berlin Brandenburg, Dresden, Erfurt, Hof, Magdeburg, Magdeburg-Cochstedt in letališčem v Pragi dejala, da so geografske razdalje za nekatera od teh letališč prevelike, letališča se nahajajo v različnih gospodarskih regijah, njihova zaledja se precej razlikujejo ali pa so letališča zelo majhna.
The aid measure must be an appropriate policy instrument to address the objective of common interest.
Dejala je še, da so nočni leti na letališču v Bruslju zelo omejeni in je zato omejena tudi konkurenca.
As explained in section 6.5.2.2, Germany has demonstrated that the funding of the project through capital injections is an appropriate instrument to improve the condition of the infrastructure at Leipzig/Halle airport.
Zato lahko Komisija sklene, da so negativni vplivi pomoči dovolj omejeni.
No other less distortive form of aid would assure the financing of the necessary infrastructure works.
Posledično Komisija ugotavlja, da je merilo združljivosti izpolnjeno.
The Commission concludes that the aid measure at stake is an appropriate policy instrument.
Preglednost ukrepa
The aid must change the behaviour of the undertakings concerned in such a way that they engage in additional activity which they would not carry out without the aid or which they would carry out in a restricted or different manner or location.
Nemčija je bila opozorjena o preglednosti obveznosti v zvezi z objavo podrobnih informacij o odobreni pomoči, kot je poudarjeno v oddelku 8.2 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014.
First of all, works on an individual investment can start only after an application has been submitted to the granting authority.
Komisija meni, da so v tem primeru izpolnjeni vsi skupni pogoji za združljivost v smislu člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe.
If works start before an application is submitted to the granting authority, any aid awarded in respect of that individual investment will not be considered compatible with the internal market.
Glede na izvedene ocene Komisija ugotavlja, da je ukrep združljiv z notranjim trgom v skladu s členom 107(3)(c) Pogodbe, saj je omejen na financiranje vrzeli v financiranju naložbenega projekta.
Germany submitted that the works have not started before the application for aid was submitted to the granting authority.
SKLEPNE UGOTOVITVE
Hence, the Commission can conclude that this criterion is met.
Z vidika ugotovitev iz oddelka 6.1.1 je letališče FLH podjetje v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
Second, an investment project at an airport may be economically attractive in its own right.
V skladu z oceno iz oddelka 6.1.2 Komisija meni, da se financiranje ukrepov M5 (nova gasilska postaja), M9 (protipožarna oprema) in M8 (heliport) lahko uvršča v pristojnost javne politike.
Therefore, it needs to be verified that the investment would not have been undertaken or would not have been undertaken to the same extent without any State aid.
V skladu z oceno iz oddelka 6.1.2 financiranje vseh drugih ukrepov ni mogoče izvzeti s področja uporabe pravili Unije o državni pomoči.
If this is confirmed, the Commission will consider that the aid measure has an incentive effect.
V skladu z ugotovitvami iz oddelka 6.2.1 Komisija meni, da so bila posojila delničarjev letališča FLH odobrena po tržnih pogojih, zato ne pomenijo državne pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
The incentive effect is identified through counterfactual analysis, comparing the levels of intended activity with aid and without aid.
V skladu z ugotovitvami iz oddelka 6.3 Komisija meni, da javno financiranje, odobreno družbi FLH v obliki kapitalskih injekcij, pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
Where no specific counterfactual is known, the incentive effect can be assumed when there is a capital cost funding gap, that is to say, when on the basis of an ex ante business plan, it can be shown that there is a difference between the positive and negative cash flows (including investment costs into fixed capital assets) over the lifetime of the investment in net present value terms [78].
Ker o kapitalskih injekcijah odloča Komisija in niso bila dana na voljo družbi FLH, Komisija meni, da je Nemčija spoštovala prepoved iz člena 108(3) Pogodbe.
In the present case, Germany has submitted a funding gap calculation identifying a funding gap of at least EUR 142,1 million (see Table 5 and Table 6).
V skladu z oceno iz oddelka 6.5 Komisija meni, da so v tem primeru izpolnjeni vsi skupni pogoji za združljivost v smislu člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe.
Moreover, a counterfactual scenario assessment shows that if the infrastructure investments would be entirely financed through loans, the airport would not be able to provide the necessary financing.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da so ti ukrepi združljivi z notranjim trgom v skladu s členom 107(3)(c) Pogodbe, saj so omejeni na financiranje vrzeli v financiranju naložbenega projekta.
Hence, the Commission can conclude that the investment aid has an incentive effect.
Komisija opozarja, da je Nemčija 17. junija 2014 Komisijo obvestila, da se izjemoma strinja s sprejetjem tega sklepa v angleškem jeziku –
The aid amount must be limited to the minimum needed to induce the additional investment or activity in the area concerned.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
In order to be proportionate, investment aid to airports must be limited to the extra costs (net of extra revenues) which result from undertaking the aided project/activity rather than the alternative project/activity that the beneficiary would have undertaken in the counterfactual scenario, that is to say, if it had not received the aid.
Člen 1
Where no specific counterfactual is known, in order to be proportionate, the amount of the aid should not exceed the funding gap of the investment project (the so-called ‘capital cost funding gap’), which is determined on the basis of an ex ante business plan as the net present value of the difference between the positive and negative cash flows (including investment costs) over the lifetime of the investment.
Posojila delničarjev, ki so bila odobrena družbi Flughafen Leipzig/Halle GmbH, ne pomenijo državne pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
For investment aid the business plan should cover the period of the economic utilisation of the asset.
Člen 2
In any event, the aid intensity must not go beyond the actual funding gap of the investment project.
Kapitalske injekcije v družbo Flughafen Leipzig/Halle GmbH, namenjene kritju stroškov, ki so v pristojnosti javne politike in do povračila katerih je upravljavec letališča po členu 8(3) zakona o varnosti letalstva LuftSiG upravičen, in stroškov za heliport, ne pomenijo državne pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
As stated in sections 6.5.2.2 and 6.5.2.3, Germany has submitted a complementary calculation of the funding gap for the notified project amounting to EUR 142,1 million justifying an aid intensity of 75 % (see Table 6) provided that the capital injections would have been injected simultaneously with the investments carried out.
Kapitalske injekcije v družbo Flughafen Leipzig/Halle GmbH, ki so omejene na financiranje vrzeli v financiranju naložbenega projekta in ki ne krijejo stroškov iz odstavka 1, za katere je pristojna javna politika, pomenijo državno pomoč, ki je združljiva z notranjim trgom v smislu člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
However, as the capital injections will only be carried out after the approval of the Commission in 2014, the funding gap identified by Germany amounts to EUR 166,9 million justifying an aid intensity of 88,1 % (see Table 5).
Znesek kapitalskih injekcij, ki presega zneske, ki so razglašeni za združljive z notranjim trgom iz odstavkov 1 in 2, pomeni državno pomoč, ki ni združljiva z notranjim trgom v smislu člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
In the absence of a threshold for maximum permissible aid intensities at freight airports, the aid intensity is limited to the funding gap of the investment project.
Člen 3
Hence, the Commission can conclude that the aid amount is proportionate and limited to the minimum.
Ta sklep je naslovljen na Zvezno republiko Nemčijo.
The negative effects of the aid must be sufficiently limited, so that the overall balance of the measure is positive.
V Bruslju, 23. julija 2014
In order to further limit any distortions, the airport, including any investment for which aid is granted, must be open to all potential users and must not be dedicated to one specific user.
Za Komisijo
In the case of physical limitation of capacity, the allocation should be done on the basis of pertinent, objective, transparent and non-discriminatory criteria.
Podpredsednik
Germany submitted that the overall balance of the effects of the measures on competition and trade between Member States is positive.
Z učinkom od 1. decembra 2009 sta člena 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES postala člen 107 oziroma člen 108 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Pogodba).
In this regard, Germany first confirmed that all potential users (airlines and air cargo carriers) will have access to the new infrastructure on an equal and non-discriminatory basis.
Oba para členov sta vsebinsko identična.
Secondly, Germany submitted that the infrastructure measures in question are of a non-expansionary nature.
V tem sklepu se sklicevanja na člena 107 in 108 Pogodbe po potrebi razumejo kot sklicevanja na člena 87 oziroma 88 Pogodbe ES.
With regard to any potential effect on competitors of Leipzig/Halle airport, Germany stated that airports in the vicinity of Leipzig/Halle were not specialised in air cargo transports.
S Pogodbo so bile uvedene tudi nekatere spremembe terminologije, pri čemer je na primer besedo „Skupnost“ nadomestila beseda „Unija“, besedno zvezo „skupni trg“ pa „notranji trg“.
Moreover, with regard to Altenburg-Nobitz, Berlin Brandenburg, Dresden, Erfurt, Hof, Magdeburg, Magdeburg-Cochstedt and Prague airport, Germany stated that for some of these airports the geographical distances were too large, the airports were located in different economic regions, the catchment areas were quite different or the airports were of a very small size.
V celotnem besedilu tega sklepa se uporablja terminologija Pogodbe.
Moreover, according to Germany, Brussels airport was subject to significant restrictions on night flights and therefore competition was limited.
UL C 284, 28.9.2011, str.
Hence, the Commission can conclude that the negative effects of the aid are sufficiently limited.
6.
Consequently, the Commission can conclude that the compatibility criterion is met.
Glej opombo 2.
Transparency of aid
Sporočilo Komisije – Smernice o državni pomoči letališčem in letalskim prevoznikom (UL C 99, 4.4.2014, str.
Germany is reminded of the transparency obligations with regard to publication of details of aid granted, as outlined in section 8.2 of the 2014 Aviation guidelines.
3).
Therefore, the Commission considers that all common conditions for compatibility pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty have been satisfied in the present case.
Uporaba členov 92 in 93 Pogodbe ES ter člena 61 Sporazuma EGP za državne pomoči v letalskem sektorju (UL C 350, 10.12.1994, str.
In view of the assessment made, the Commission concludes that the measure is compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty to the extent that it is limited to the financing of the funding gap of the investment project.

CONCLUSION
Sporočilo Komisije – Smernice Skupnosti o financiranju letališč in zagonski državni pomoči letalskim družbam z odhodi z regionalnih letališč (UL C 312, 9.12.2005, str.
In light of the finding in section 6.1.1, FLH is an undertaking within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
1).
According to the assessment in section 6.1.2, the Commission considers that the financing of the measures M5 new fire station building, M9 firefighting equipment and M8 heliport can be regarded as falling within the public policy remit.
UL C 113, 15.4.2014, str.
According to the assessment in section 6.1.2, the financing of all other measures cannot be exempted from scrutiny under Union State aid rules.
30.
According to the considerations in section 6.2.1, the Commission considers that FLH’s shareholder loans were granted on market terms, and thus do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Glavni delničar družbe FLH je družba Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG, ki ima v lasti 94-odstotni delež družbe FLH.
In light of the considerations in section 6.3, the Commission considers that the public funding granted to FLH in the form of capital injections constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Lastniki preostalih delnic so svobodna dežela Saška, okrožje Nordsachsen in mesto Schkeuditz.
As the capital injections are subject to a Commission decision and were not put at the disposal of FLH, the Commission considers that Germany has respected the prohibition of Article 108(3) of the Treaty.
Zasebnih delničarjev ni.
According to the assessment in section 6.5, the Commission considers that all common conditions for compatibility pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty have been satisfied in the present case.
Delničarji družbe MFAG so: 76,64 % svobodna dežela Saška, 18,54 % dežela Saška-Anhalt, 2,52 % mesto Dresden, 0,2 % mesto Halle in 2,1 % mesto Leipzig.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that those measures are compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty to the extent that they are limited to the financing of the funding gap of the investment project.
Kapitalski vložki javnih delničarjev družbe FLG, ki so financirali gradnjo nove južne vzletno-pristajalne steze, in drugi ukrepi, ki so znašali do 350 milijonov EUR in o katerih je bilo odločeno do leta 2006, so že bili ocenjeni v okviru Odločbe Komisije z dne 23. julija 2008 o ukrepih Nemčije v korist družbe DHL in letališča Leipzig Halle C 48/06 (prej N 227/06) (UL L 346, 23.12.2008, str.
The Commission notes that on 17 June 2014, Germany informed the Commission that it exceptionally accepts that this decision is adopted in the English language,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Velja obveznost varovanja poslovne skrivnosti.
Article 1
Sklep o odobritvi načrtovanja južne vzletno-pristajalne steze in letališke ploščadi pristojnega nemškega organa za načrtovanje z dne 4. novembra 2004 in prva sprememba te odločitve z dne 9. decembra 2005.
The shareholder loans granted to Flughafen Leipzig/Halle GmbH do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Letališče Leipzig/Halle ima dve vozni stezi, ki prečita prometne poti (avtocesto A14, progo za velike hitrosti, štiripasovno državno cesto), zato je treba zanju zgraditi mostova.
Article 2
Uredba (ES) št. 2320/2002 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 16. decembra 2002 o določitvi skupnih pravil na področju varnosti civilnega letalstva (UL L 355, 30.12.2002, str.
To the extent that the capital injections into Flughafen Leipzig/Halle GmbH are limited to the funding gap of the investment project and do not cover costs relating to the public policy remit set out in paragraph 1, they constitute State aid which is compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Do 1. aprila 2011.
To the extent that the amount of the capital injections exceeds the amounts declared compatible with the internal market in paragraph 1 and 2, they constitute State aid which is incompatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
