However, these events should not be taken into account when applying the MEO test because they postdate the signature of the agreements.
Aneks z dne 1. avgusta 2007
As regards the incremental investment costs, none have been accepted since there is nothing in the records to suggest that an MEO would have expected to have to make certain investments due to one or more of the agreements covered by the formal investigation procedure.
Dodatni promet, povezan z aneksom z dne 1. avgusta 2007, torej ustreza prometu na teh štirih letih na teden v zadevnem obdobju, ki bi bili v nasprotnem primeru „izgubljeni“.
In the absence of a business plan for each agreement, the incremental operating costs that were foreseeable when the various agreements were signed are the most difficult category to determine.
Razpredelnica 11
In particular, the approach used for the non-aeronautical revenue, which, for the period prior to 2007, involved using the airport’s total commercial non-aeronautical revenue in order to determine the revenue per passenger, cannot be used for the operating costs.
Končni rezultat ponovno pripravljene predhodne analize donosnosti iz aneksa z dne 1. avgusta 2007
Such an approach would involve considering the airport’s total operating costs, reduced to the number of passengers, as incremental costs.
Zimska sezona 2007–2008
However, a significant proportion of an airport’s operating costs is fixed, which means that the total operating costs per passenger are likely to be markedly higher, in most cases, than the incremental costs.
[100–150]
In order to estimate the incremental operating costs, the Commission must use the airport operator’s analysis, as it is unable to estimate itself how a given agreement may influence the airport’s various cost items.
Pogodbi z dne 1. novembra 2007
However, the only ex ante estimates that the Commission can use are found in the VTAN business plan, based on which the VTAN study arrived at a total incremental operating cost per passenger of EUR [2-4].
Pogodba o letaliških storitvah in pogodba o tržnih storitvah, ki sta bili za eno leto sklenjeni 1. novembra 2007 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: pogodbi z dne 1. novembra 2007), sta nasledili pogodbi z dne 2. januarja 2007, ki sta se iztekli.
In the absence of anything better, the Commission considers that this figure is an acceptable basis for determining the impact of additional traffic on the airport’s operating costs.
Če ne bi bilo teh pogodb, bi lahko družba Ryanair ukinila vse svoje dejavnosti na letališču Nîmes.
This figure was established based on the VTAN business plan, which, for the reasons already stated, constitutes a source of reliable ex ante figures, and on the VTAN study.
Dodatni promet, povezan s tema pogodbama, torej ustreza vsem rutam in letom, navedenim v teh pogodbah, in sicer:
As explained previously, the VTAN study contains a precise and plausible assessment of how the airport’s various operating cost items vary according to traffic.
ruti v London z enim letom na dan v poletni sezoni in štirimi leti na teden v zimski sezoni,
The Commission has therefore used this figure in its assessment of the agreements signed with Ryanair and AMS.
ruti v Liverpool s štirimi leti na teden v poletni sezoni in dvema letoma na teden v zimski sezoni,
The VTAN agreements were signed between 2007 and 2010, i.e. within a relatively short period of time after the VTAN business plan was produced.
ruti v Charleroi s štirimi leti na teden vse leto,ruti v East Midlands z dvema letoma na teden v poletni sezoni.
The use of the aforementioned estimate of the incremental operating cost per passenger is therefore particularly indicated for these agreements.
Vključila je tudi strošek, ki ga predstavljajo navedene finančne „spodbude“ iz člena 8 pogodbe o letaliških storitvah z dne 1. novembra 2007, in sicer plačilo družbe VTAN družbi Ryanair na potnika na odhodnem letu, ki se postopoma zvišuje glede na število potnikov.
This is particularly the case with the October 2005 agreements, which were signed just a few months before the VTAN business plan was produced.
Končni rezultat ponovno pripravljene predhodne analize donosnosti iz pogodb z dne 1. novembra 2007
The Commission considers that an MEO would not have estimated very different incremental operating costs per passenger in October 2005 and September 2006, because it is highly unlikely that the cost structure of an airport operator would alter considerably over a period of less than a year.
Zima 2007–2008
However, in the absence of a better alternative, the Commission takes the view that the incremental operating cost per passenger of EUR [2-4], adjusted to take account of inflation, estimated at 2 % per year on a forecast basis, is also appropriate for analysing these older agreements.
[250–300]
It should be noted that, for each agreement signed by the CCI, the incremental operating cost proposed by France (EUR [5-7] per passenger), calculated as the average of the operating costs per passenger observed over the 2000-2006 period, is markedly above the incremental cost per passenger used by the Commission, which the latter deems to be more relevant given the above findings.
[400–450]
As a result, for each agreement, the incremental operating cost per passenger is multiplied by the projected incremental traffic in order to determine, year by year, the total incremental operating cost associated with the agreement.
[800000-850000]
Details of the various agreements
Iz razpredelnice 12 v prejšnji uvodni izjavi je razvidno, da bi udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu pričakoval negativne dodatne tokove.
The Commission will now present the results of its analysis of the various agreements, produced using the method described above.
Zato sta pogodbi z dne 1. novembra 2007 omogočili gospodarsko prednost družbi Ryanair/AMS.
The specific features of each agreement that are relevant to this analysis will also be indicated.
Pogodbi z dne 27. avgusta 2008
Agreement of 11 April 2000
Pogodba o letaliških storitvah in pogodba o tržnih storitvah, ki sta bili za eno leto sklenjeni 27. avgusta 2008, veljati pa sta začeli 1. novembra 2008 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: pogodbi z dne 27. avgusta 2008), sta nasledili pogodbi z dne 1. novembra 2007, ki sta se iztekli.
This agreement concerned the operation of a daily route to London using a Boeing 737-200 configured for 130 seats.
ruti v Charleroi s štirimi leti na teden vse leto.
According to France, Ryanair made an oral commitment to the CCI to achieve a load factor of 70 %.
Vključila je tudi strošek, ki ga predstavljajo finančne „spodbude“ iz člena 8 pogodbe o letaliških storitvah z dne 27. avgusta 2008, in sicer plačilo družbe VTAN družbi Ryanair na potnika na odhodnem letu, ki se postopoma zvišuje glede na število potnikov.
The Commission takes the view that an MEO might have expected a slightly higher rate, on the reasonable assumption that Ryanair may have allowed a ‘safety margin’ between this oral commitment and the rate actually expected.
Razpredelnica 13
However, as Ryanair had no previous experience of operating to Nîmes and the agreement did not provide for any marketing activities comparable to those subsequently provided by AMS, the Commission takes the view that it is not appropriate to use the load factor of 85 % accepted for the agreements signed from 2005.
Končni rezultat ponovno pripravljene predhodne analize donosnosti iz pogodb z dne 27. avgusta 2008
It has therefore opted for a load factor of 75 %.
Zima 2008–2009
The Commission notes that this factor is more or less equivalent to the factor observed in 2000-2002.
Poletje 2009
The Commission’s analysis includes the incremental traffic resulting from this 75 % rate, applied to one daily route operated using an aircraft with 130 seats, and the associated incremental revenues and incremental operating costs, according to the principles set out above.

Aneks z dne 18. avgusta 2010
operating costs (staff, sundry purchases, etc.)
Po navedbah Francije se „aneks z dne 18. avgusta 2010 nanaša na enkratne spremembe (dodatno plačilo za enkratne tržne storitve) v zelo majhnem znesku, s katerimi se ne spreminjajo rute in pogostost letov, določene v prvotni pogodbi (pogodba z dne 27. avgusta 2008), ali pričakovani promet […].
marketing costs
Sklenjen je bil v okviru ohranitve dobrih poslovnih odnosov med upravljavcem letališča in družbo Ryanair, kar je bilo za družbo VTAN prav tako zelo pomembno, ker je bila (i) družba Ryanair njen glavni prevoznik/stranka in ker je bila (ii) koncesija za letališče Nîmes prva koncesija, ki je bila podeljena skupini Veolia.
total costs
Aneks je tako mogoče primerjati s poslovno potezo, ki ne postavlja na glavo splošne ureditve koncesije.“
incremental flows (revenues less costs)
Zaradi enkratnih tržnih storitev, predvidenih v navedenem aneksu, se promet na zadevnih rutah ne bi povečal.
[100000-150000]
Sicer pa Francija tega ni trdila, temveč je navedeni aneks opisala samo kot „poslovno potezo“ družbe VTAN.
[150000-200000]
Povečanje plačil za trženje je torej za družbo VTAN pomenilo čisti dodatni strošek, ne da bi lahko v zameno pričakovala kakršen koli dodatni prihodek.
Table 6 in the above recital shows that an MEO would have expected positive annual incremental flows each year until the 2000 agreement expired, and consequently a positive incremental profitability.
Razpredelnica 15
Furthermore, in 2000 Air France was still operating scheduled services from Nîmes airport.
Končni rezultat ponovno pripravljene predhodne analize donosnosti iz aneksa z dne 18. avgusta 2010
According to France, the CCI was trying at that time to diversify the airport’s commercial activity and, in that context, it initiated discussions with several low-cost airlines, after having also analysed the freight and charter activities.
Drugi prihodki (iz finančnih poslov)
The Commission takes the view, in this context, that the signature of the agreement of 11 April 2000 can be regarded as forming part of an overall strategy of the CCI expected to lead the airport to profitability, at least in the long term.
Aneks z dne 30. novembra 2010
It is clear from the above that the agreement of 11 April 2000 did not confer any economic advantage on Ryanair and, consequently, does not constitute State aid in its favour.
Dodatni promet, povezan z aneksom z dne 30. novembra 2010, torej ustreza samo enemu letu na teden.
Correspondence exchanged between the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002
Razpredelnica 16
The agreement of 11 April 2000 was amended by correspondence exchanged between the CCI and Ryanair, dated 28 November 2001, 11, 18, 21 and 24 December 2001, and 2, 5 and 15 February 2002 (‘correspondence exchanged between the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002’).
Končni rezultat ponovno pripravljene predhodne analize donosnosti iz aneksa z dne 30. novembra 2010
It is apparent from this correspondence and from the explanations provided by France in this respect that this correspondence constitutes a transaction that amended the agreement of 11 April 2000 by increasing the marketing payments by FRF […] (i.e. EUR […]) per outbound passenger from 1 January 2002 until the agreement expired, and by further increasing these payments by an additional amount of FRF […] (i.e. EUR […]) per outbound passenger during the period between 29 April and 31 October 2002 (‘the 2002 summer season’), provided that Ryanair added an additional daily flight to its London route during this period.
Število povratnih letov
According to France, this second flight meant a possible 185 additional flights during the 2002 summer season, which, based on an aircraft configured for 148 passengers and a load factor of 75 % more or less corresponding to the traffic carried previously, could have led to additional traffic totalling 41070 passengers.
[0–50]
The assumption of a 75 % load factor seems reasonable as it corresponds to the traffic carried during the previous period and as the correspondence exchanged between the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002 did not provide for any additional marketing activities, on the part of Ryanair or the CCI, that were likely to significantly increase traffic.
Iz razpredelnice 16 v prejšnji uvodni izjavi je razvidno, da bi udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu pričakoval negativen dodatni tok v višini –[0–50000] EUR.
This additional traffic as a result of the second daily flight during the 2002 summer season is the only incremental traffic associated with the correspondence exchanged between the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002, since this correspondence did not amend, except for the 2002 summer season, the daily flight frequency stipulated in the agreement of 11 April 2000 for the Nîmes-London route.
Zato je aneks z dne 30. novembra 2010 omogočil gospodarsko prednost družbi Ryanair/AMS.
The Commission has therefore included this incremental traffic in its analysis, together with the associated incremental revenues and incremental operating costs, according to the principles set out above.
Izkrivljanje konkurence in vpliv na trgovino med državami članicami
As regards the incremental aeronautical revenue, it has taken into account the airport charges applicable in 2001.
Če finančna pomoč države članice okrepi položaj podjetij v razmerju do drugih podjetij, ki jim konkurirajo v okviru trgovine znotraj Skupnosti, je treba za navedeno pomoč šteti, da vpliva na navedeno trgovino.
With regard to the incremental marketing costs, the Commission has included, in its analysis, the general increase of EUR […] per outbound passenger until the 2000 agreement expired, together with the additional increase stipulated for the 2002 summer season for all passengers (and not just those corresponding to the additional daily flight).
Da bi v skladu z ustaljeno sodno prakso Sodišča ukrep izkrivljal konkurenco, zadostuje, da upravičenec do pomoči konkurira drugim podjetjem na trgih, odprtih za konkurenco.
Table 7 in this recital gives the results of this analysis.
Od začetka veljavnosti tretjega svežnja liberalizacije zračnega prevoza 1. januarja 1993 letalskim prevoznikom Unije nič ne preprečuje, da bi opravljali lete na rutah v Uniji in imeli neomejeno dovoljenje za opravljanje kabotaže.
Table 7
Prednosti, ki jih je prejela družba Ryanair/AMS prek različnih pogodb, zajetih v tej preučitvi, in za katere je bil zgoraj dokazan obstoj take prednosti, so torej okrepile njen položaj glede na vse druge letalske prevoznike Skupnosti, ki dejansko tekmujejo ali bi lahko tekmovali z družbo Ryanair za rute, na katerih opravlja lete.

Zato so izkrivljale ali bi lahko izkrivljale konkurenco in vplivale na trgovino znotraj Skupnosti.
This table shows that an MEO would have expected negative annual incremental flows until the 2000 agreement expired, as amended by the correspondence exchanged between the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002.
Sklepna ugotovitev o obstoju državnih pomoči za družbo Ryanair/AMS
Consequently, the transaction consisting of the correspondence exchanged between the end of 2001 and the beginning of 2002 conferred an economic advantage on Ryanair.
Naslednje pogodbe izpolnjujejo kumulativne pogoje iz člena 107(1) PDEU in pomenijo državno pomoč za družbo Ryanair/AMS:
Correspondence exchanged in 2004
dopisov, izmenjanih od konca leta 2001 do začetka leta 2002 in marca 2004, s katerimi se je bistveno spremenila vsebina pogodbe, ki jo je zbornica sklenila z družbo Ryanair 11. aprila 2000,
The terms of the agreement of 11 April 2000 were amended once again, but this time for a more limited period, by the exchanges of letters and emails of 10 and 16 March 2004 (‘the correspondence exchanged in 2004’).
pogodbi o letaliških storitvah in tržnih storitvah z dne 10. oktobra 2005, ki ju je zbornica sklenila z družbo Ryanair/AMS,
According to France, this second flight meant a possible 185 additional flights during the 2004 summer season, which, based on an aircraft configured for 148 passengers and a load factor of 75 %, could have led to additional traffic totalling 41070 passengers.
aneks z dne 1. avgusta 2007 k pogodbi o tržnih storitvah z dne 2. januarja 2007,
The assumption of a 75 % load factor proposed by France seems reasonable as the correspondence exchanged in 2004 did not provide for any additional marketing activities, on the part of Ryanair or the CCI, that were likely to significantly increase traffic in relation to the traffic carried previously.
pogodb o letaliških storitvah in tržnih storitvah z dne 1. novembra 2007, ki ju je družba VTAN sklenila z družbo Ryanair/AMS,
This additional traffic as a result of the second daily flight during the 2004 summer season is the only incremental traffic associated with the correspondence exchanged in 2004.
pogodb o letaliških storitvah in tržnih storitvah z dne 27. avgusta 2008, ki ju je družba VTAN sklenila z družbo Ryanair/AMS,
The Commission has therefore included this incremental traffic in its analysis, together with the associated incremental revenues and incremental operating costs, according to the principles set out above.
aneksi z dne 25. avgusta 2009, 18. avgusta 2010 in 30. novembra 2010 o spremembah pogodb z dne 27. avgusta 2008.
With regard to the incremental marketing costs, the Commission has included, in its analysis, the exceptional increase stipulated for the 2004 summer season for all passengers (and not just those corresponding to the additional daily flight).
Druge pogodbe, zajete v tej preučitvi, ne pomenijo državnih pomoči.
Table 8 in this recital gives the results of this analysis.
NEZAKONITOST DRŽAVNIH POMOČI

ZDRUŽLJIVOST Z NOTRANJIM TRGOM
This table shows that an MEO would have expected a negative incremental flow in 2004.
Zadevne pomoči pomenijo pomoči za tekoče poslovanje.
Consequently, the transaction consisting of the correspondence exchanged in 2004 conferred an economic advantage on Ryanair.
Take pomoči se lahko razglasijo za združljive le v izjemnih in ustrezno utemeljenih okoliščinah.
2005 agreements
Poleg tega bi morala Francija v skladu s sodno prakso Sodišča navesti, na kateri pravni podlagi bi se lahko zadevne pomoči štele za združljive z notranjim trgom, in dokazati, da so pogoji za združljivost izpolnjeni.
Through the airport services agreement of 10 October 2005 and the marketing services agreement signed on the same date (‘the 2005 agreements’), Ryanair undertook to operate:
Zato je Komisija v sklepu o začetku postopka in zahtevi za dodatne informacije Francijo pozvala, naj navede morebitne pravne podlage za združljivost in ugotovi, ali so izpolnjeni ustrezni pogoji za združljivost, zlasti če bi se zadevne pomoči štele za zagonske pomoči za uvedbo novih rut.
a daily route to London, to which a second daily service was to be added for six months during the 2005 summer season,
Vendar Francija ni nikoli trdila, da zadevni ukrepi pomenijo zagonske pomoči, združljive z notranjim trgom, in ni nikoli predlagala druge podlage za njihovo morebitno združljivost ali kakršnih koli razlogov, na podlagi katerih bi bilo mogoče te pomoči razglasiti za združljive z notranjim trgom.
from the end of March 2006, a third route, whose launch was to be announced before the end of 2005, accounting for at least [0-50000] outbound passengers per year,
Komisija kljub temu meni, da je koristno oceniti, v kakšni meri bi se lahko te pomoči razglasile za združljive v smislu njihovega morebitnega prispevanja k uvedbi novih rut ali novih pogostosti letov.
from the end of April 2006, a fourth route, whose launch was to be announced before the end of 2005, accounting for at least [0-50000] outbound passengers per year.
Vendar je treba opozoriti, da je ta ocena nepotrebna, saj je treba zaradi dejstva, da država članica ali zainteresirane tretje strani niso predložile nobenih dokazov o združljivosti pomoči, te pomoči razglasiti za nezdružljive.
These agreements replaced the agreement of 11 April 2000, which was therefore terminated before the end of its initial term, with totally different contractual conditions being established.
Nove smernice v zvezi s takimi pomočmi določajo: „Komisija bo v zvezi z zagonsko pomočjo letalskim prevoznikom uporabila načela iz teh smernic za vse priglašene ukrepe zagonske pomoči, v zvezi s katerimi je pozvana k sprejetju sklepa od 4. aprila 2014 dalje, tudi kadar so bili ukrepi priglašeni pred tem datumom.
The preamble to the 2005 airport services agreement stated that Ryanair, after having conducted ‘a prudent experimental operation’ of a daily route to London, planned to permanently establish itself at Nîmes and increase the number of routes from that airport ‘provided that both technical and financial conditions proposed by FNI were acceptable, so as to make the operation of the routes viable’ (bold added).
V skladu z obvestilom Komisije o določitvi veljavnih pravil za ocenjevanje nezakonite državne pomoči bo Komisija za nezakonito zagonsko pomoč letalskim prevoznikom uporabila pravila, ki so veljala v času dodelitve pomoči.
A prudent MEO would undoubtedly have taken this threat seriously, particularly as the April 2000 agreement did not contain any clear and irrevocable undertaking on the part of Ryanair to operate the route to London for the 10 years provided for by the agreement.
Smernice iz leta 2005 določajo, da bo Komisija „združljivost vsake pomoči financiranja letaliških infrastruktur ali zagonske pomoči, ki je bila dodeljena brez njene odobritve in ki torej krši člen 88(3) Pogodbe, preverila na podlagi teh smernic, če je bila pomoč dodeljena po njihovi objavi v Uradnem listu Evropske unije.
As a result, a prudent MEO acting in place of the CCI would have in all likelihood considered that, if it did not sign the agreements in question, Ryanair would cease all its operations at Nîmes airport.
Sicer bo preverjanje izvedla na podlagi pravil, veljavnih ob dodelitvi pomoči“.
The incremental traffic associated with the 2005 agreements therefore corresponds to the traffic expected for all the routes and frequencies mentioned in these agreements.
Komisija poudarja, da so bile zadevne pomoči deloma dodeljene za spodbuditev uvedbe novih rut, povečanje pogostosti letov na obstoječih rutah ali ohranitev rut, ki bi se sicer morda ukinile.
For each of these routes and for the reasons set out above, particularly in the light of the marketing services offered by Ryanair, an 85 % load factor has been used.
Zato gre za pomoči za tekoče poslovanje, katerih cilj je spodbuditi zračni promet z odhodnimi leti z regionalnega letališča.
The Commission has therefore included this incremental traffic in its analysis, together with the associated incremental costs and revenues, according to the principles set out above.
Ukrepi, sprejeti pred začetkom veljavnosti smernic iz leta 2005
