In this regard, according to point 11 of the 2004 Rescue and Restructuring Guidelines an undertaking may be considered to be in difficulties even where the conditions of point 10 are not fulfilled, in particular where the usual signs of an undertaking being in difficulty are present, such as increasing losses, diminishing turnover, declining cash flow, mounting debt, rising interest charges, etc.
Nemčija je trdila, da je pomoč za naložbe v korist družbe FFHG v skladu z vsemi merili za združljivost iz smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2005.
However, in this case, despite the decrease in the number of passengers due to the financial and economic crisis, the financial results of FFHG showed that it made progress towards becoming profitable.
Pomoč prispeva k natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa
The applicability of the 2014 and 2005 Aviation Guidelines
Navedeni ukrepi so pomembno prispevali k regionalnemu razvoju in povezljivosti regije Hunsrück ter ustvarjanju novih delovnih mest na območju, ki ga je gospodarsko prizadelo zaprtje vojaške baze ZDA, pa tudi k razbremenitvi preobremenjenega letališča Frankfurt na Majni.
Article 107(3) of the Treaty provides for certain exemptions to the general rule set out in Article 107(1) of the Treaty that State aid is not compatible with the internal market.
Kot je poudarila Nemčija, regijo Hunsrück obkrožajo številna območja (kot je Landkreis Birkenfeld), ki so bila v okviru „Gemeinschaftsaufgabe Verbesserung der regionalen Wirtschaftsstruktur“ označena kot regije, ki potrebujejo podporo.
The aid in question can be assessed on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty, which stipulates that: ‘aid to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest’, may be considered to be compatible with the internal market.
Dejansko se je v obravnavanem obdobju okrožje Landkreis Birkenfeld vsaj delno štelo za regijo, katere bruto domači proizvod (BDP) je pod povprečjem Unije [83].
In this regard, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines provide a framework for assessing whether aid to airports may be declared compatible pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Komisija meni, da je razvoj letališča Frankfurt Hahn pomembno prispeval tudi k ustvarjanju novih delovnih mest v regiji Hunsrück.
According to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission considers that the ‘Commission notice on the determination of the applicable rules for the assessment of unlawful State aid’ [77] applies to unlawful investment aid to airports.
Kot je navedla Nemčija, je letališče Frankfurt Hahn ob upoštevanju vseh delov letaliških dejavnosti leta 2012 v regiji Hunsrück ustvarilo 3063 delovnih mest, od katerih jih je bilo 74 % zaposlitev s polnim delovnim časom, 90 % zadevnih zaposlenih pa tudi živi v tej regiji.
In this respect, if the unlawful investment aid was granted before 4 April 2014, the Commission will apply the compatibility rules in force at the time when the unlawful investment aid was granted.
Poleg tega je imel razvoj letališča Frankfurt Hahn tudi pozitivne posredne, sekundarne in usmerjevalne učinke na ustvarjanje delovnih mest v regiji ter na regionalni razvoj na splošno zaradi vse večjega števila gospodarskih in turističnih dejavnosti.
Conversely, the Commission stated in the 2014 Aviation Guidelines that the ‘Commission notice on the determination of the applicable rules for the assessment of unlawful State aid’ should not apply to pending cases of illegal operating aid to airports granted prior to 4 April 2014.
Poleg tega je bilo z receptivnim turizmom v zvezni deželi Porenje – Pfalška ustvarjenih približno 11000 delovnih mest.
Instead, the Commission will apply the principles set out in the 2014 Aviation Guidelines to all cases concerning operating aid (pending notifications and unlawful non-notified aid) to airports even if the aid was granted before 4 April 2014 and the beginning of the transitional period [79].
Zadevne naložbe, za katere je bila dodeljena pomoč, so prispevale tudi k izboljšanju dostopnosti območja.
The Commission has already concluded in recital 173 that the measures under assessment constitute unlawful State aid granted before 4 April 2014.
Vendar pa podvajanje nedobičkonosnih letališč (ali ustvarjanje dodatne neuporabljene zmogljivosti) ne prispeva k cilju skupnega interesa.
Distinction between investment and operating aid
V tej zadevi Komisija meni, da pomoč za naložbe ne vodi do takega podvajanja, ki bi zmanjšalo možnosti srednjeročne uporabe obstoječe infrastrukture na drugih – sosednjih – letališčih.
In view of the provisions of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines referred to in recitals 184 and 185, the Commission has to determine whether the measures in question constitute unlawful investment or operating aid.
V radiju 100 kilometrov ali 60 minut vožnje od letališča Frankfurt Hahn namreč ni drugih letališč.
According to point 25(r) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, investment aid is defined as ‘aid to finance fixed capital assets; specifically, to cover the “capital costs funding gap”’.
Najbližje letališču Frankfurt Hahn sta letališče Frankfurt na Majni, ki je oddaljeno 115 kilometrov ali 1 uro in 15 minut vožnje z avtomobilom, in letališče Luxembourg, ki je oddaljeno 1 uro in 30 minut vožnje (111 kilometrov).
Moreover, according to point 25(r) of the guidelines, investment aid can relate both to an upfront payment (that is to say cover upfront investment costs) and to aid paid out in the form of periodic instalments (to cover capital costs, in terms of annual depreciation and costs of financing).
Letališče Frankfurt na Majni je mednarodno letališko vozlišče z zelo različnimi destinacijami, ki ga uporabljajo predvsem mrežni letalski prevozniki, ki ponujajo povezovalne lete, medtem ko se letališče Frankfurt Hahn uporablja za nizkocenovne lete od točke do točke.
Operating aid, on the other hand, means aid covering all or part of the operating costs of an airport, defined as ‘the underlying costs of the provision of airport services, including categories such as costs of personnel, contracted services, communications, waste, energy, maintenance, rent, administration, etc., but excluding the capital costs, marketing support or any other incentives granted to airlines by the airport, and costs falling within a public policy remit’ [80].
Kot je poudarila Nemčija, so bile zgornje meje zmogljivosti letališča Frankfurt na Majni nenehno presežene.
In the light of these definitions, the Commission considers that the 100 % state guarantee for the ISB loans provided at privileged terms and the ISB loans numbers 2 and 5 constitute investment aid in favour of FFHG.
Zato je imelo po mnenju Nemčije letališče Frankfurt Hahn zlasti glede na svoje dovoljenje za 24-urno obratovanje pomembno vlogo pri zagotavljanju dodatne zmogljivosti za razbremenitev preobremenjenega letališča Frankfurt na Majni.
These funds were all linked to the refinancing of loans which in turn financed a particular infrastructure investment project (see Table 9).
Do leta 2009 je bila namreč družba Fraport večinska delničarka družbe FFHG, upravljavke letališča Frankfurt Hahn (2,7 milijona potnikov leta 2013, približno 4 milijoni potnikov leta 2007, ko jih je bilo največ), in upravljavka letališča Frankfurt na Majni (58 milijonov potnikov in 2,1 milijona tovora) ter je kot taka izvajala strategijo diverzifikacije.
Moreover, the amounts of the ISB loans are equal to or lower than the respective investments carried out.
Letališče Saarbrücken je od letališča Frankfurt Hahn oddaljeno približno 128 kilometrov, kar znaša več kot 2 uri vožnje z avtomobilom.
Table 9
Poleg tega z letališča Frankfurt Hahn letijo predvsem nizkocenovni prevozniki (Ryanair), tovorni promet pa je precej pomemben element njegovega poslovnega modela, medtem ko letališče Saarbrücken ponuja predvsem redne lete na domačem ozemlju in ima le omejen tovorni zračni promet.
Comparative overview of the amount of the ISB loans and their purpose [81]
V zvezi z letališčem Zweibrücken je Nemčija poudarila, da vožnja do 127 kilometrov oddaljenega letališča Frankfurt Hahn traja 1 uro in 27 minut z avtomobilom ali približno 4 ure z vlakom.
ISB loan no
Poleg tega je trdila, da glede na potniški in tovorni zračni promet med letoma 2005 in 2012 ni mogoče sklepati o razmerju zamenljivosti med letališčema.
Purpose of the loan
Komisija ugotavlja, da je nekaj prekrivanja med dejavnostmi letališč Frankfurt Hahn in Zweibrücken, saj se letališče Zweibrücken prav tako ukvarja s tovornim zračnim prometom, medtem ko se od potniškega prometa z njega opravljajo pretežno čarterski poleti.
[…] infrastructure investments amounting to […]
V zvezi s tem Komisija navaja, da je tovorni promet običajno bolj mobilen kot potniški promet [84].
Therefore, the Commission takes the view that the 100 % state guarantee for the ISB loans and ISB loans numbers 2 and 5 constitute unlawful investment aid granted before 4 April 2014, the compatibility of which has to be assessed under the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
Na splošno se za gravitacijsko območje letališč za tovorni zračni promet šteje, da njegov radij znaša najmanj približno 200 kilometrov in 2 uri vožnje.
With regard to the funds provided at privileged terms by the cash-pool, Germany considers that those funds were also used to finance infrastructure investments in 2009 to 2012.
Pripombe iz industrije kažejo, da je za špediterje za prevoz blaga običajno sprejemljiva do poldnevna vožnja s tovornjakom (tj. do 12 ur vožnje s tovornjaki) [85].
The amount of those investments is approximately equal to the funds drawn from the cash-pool during the same period.
Obenem je treba opozoriti, da je bilo letališče Frankfurt Hahn pred vstopom letališča Zweibrücken na trg leta 2006 že dobro uveljavljeno letališče z več kot 3 milijoni potnikov in 123000 tonami tovora.
Moreover, during the period 2009 to 2012 the operating results [82] (including extraordinary revenues, that is to say revenues other than the airport's aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues and revenues from the sale of land or of property) were positive (see Table 4).
Glede na zgodovinski razvoj teh dveh letališč, njun geografski položaj in prosto zmogljivost, ki je bila na voljo na letališču Frankfurt Hahn, ko je letališče Zweibrücken leta 2006 vstopilo na trg komercialnega zračnega prometa, Komisija ugotavlja, da je bolj odprtje letališča Zweibrücken tisto, ki je pomenilo nepotrebno podvajanje infrastrukture.
This suggests that the airport was in a position to cover its day-to-day operating costs and the funds provided by the cash-pool were used to finance the investments into airport infrastructure.
Komisija torej ugotavlja, da naložbe v letališče Frankfurt Hahn ne pomenijo podvajanja obstoječe nedonosne infrastrukture.
Hence, the funds provided by the cash-pool constitute unlawful investment aid granted before 4 April 2014, the compatibility of which has to be assessed under the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
Nasprotno, letališče Frankfurt Hahn je imelo pomembno vlogo pri razbremenitvi letališča Frankfurt na Majni, ne da bi omejevalo njegove načrte za širitev.
In this regard, the considerations set out in Section 6.5.3 also apply.
Brez naložb v letališče Frankfurt Hahn je dejansko obstajalo tveganje, da potrebe po prevozu v regiji ne bi bile ustrezno izpolnjene.
In particular, as the amount of the funds drawn is smaller than the total investments, the aid can be considered to be proportional and necessary.
Glede na premisleke iz uvodnih izjav 199 do 210 Komisija torej ugotavlja, da pomoč za naložbe, namenjena izgradnji in uporabi infrastrukture na letališču Frankfurt Hahn, ustreza natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa, tj. regionalnemu gospodarskemu razvoju, ustvarjanju delovnih mest in izboljšanju dostopnosti regije.
However, it should be noted that the funds drawn from the cash-pool were not dedicated for a specific purpose.
Po navedbah Nemčije so bile naložbe izvedene v skladu s potrebami (in so bile torej sorazmerne), zgrajena infrastruktura pa je bila potrebna, da je letališče lahko zagotavljalo povezljivost in razvoj regije ter razbremenilo letališče Frankfurt na Majni.
This could indicate that the revenues from the airport's ordinary activity were not sufficient to cover its operating costs.
Brez teh naložb namreč ne bi bilo mogoče dokončati preoblikovanja nekdanje vojaške baze ZDA v popolnoma delujoče letališče za civilni zračni promet.
Moreover, Germany has failed to demonstrate the mechanism by which it was ensured that the cash-pool funds would not be used for financing the airport's daily operations.
Za nadaljnji razvoj dejavnosti civilnega zračnega prometa je bilo treba zgraditi objekte za potnike in tovor in letališke ploščadi ter posodobiti vozne steze.
Given these circumstances, it cannot be excluded that the cash-pool funds were used to prevent the FFHG from running short of liquidity, which could have caused the airport operator to cut its investments or turn it into an undertaking in difficulty.
Zgrajena infrastruktura je bila torej potrebna, da je letališče lahko zagotavljalo povezljivost in razvoj regije.
Compatibility of the investment aid pursuant to the 2005 Aviation Guidelines
Najbližje letališče je Frankfurt na Majni, ki naj bi ga letališče Frankfurt Hahn razbremenilo.
According to point 61 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission must examine whether the following cumulative conditions are met:
Komisija glede na te premisleke meni, da je ta pogoj za združljivost izpolnjen.
the construction and operation of the infrastructure meets a clearly defined objective of common interest (regional development, accessibility, etc.);
Nemčija je trdila, da so zunanji strokovnjaki pred sprejetjem odločitve o nadaljnjem razvoju letališke infrastrukture opravili študije o napovedih prometa, da bi se opredelile možnosti glede prometa za letališče Frankfurt Hahn.
the infrastructure is necessary and proportional to the objective which has been set;
Iz predloženih informacij je razvidno, da so zunanji strokovnjaki takrat napovedali precejšnjo rast z 0,3 milijona potnikov leta 2000 na do 3,8 milijona potnikov leta 2010 (glej sliko 6 in sliko 7).
the infrastructure has satisfactory medium-term prospects for use, in particular as regards the use of existing infrastructure;
V zvezi z razvojem tovornega prometa so napovedali rast s 151000 ton leta 2001 na do 386000 ton leta 2010 (glej sliko 8), pri čemer naj bi bila rast tovorne dejavnosti med letoma 2006 in 2010 posledica preusmeritve tovornih letov z letališča Frankfurt na Majni zaradi prepovedi nočnega letenja.
all potential users of the infrastructure have access to it in an equal and non-discriminatory manner; and
Vendar bi bilo te napovedi mogoče uresničiti le z izvedbo naložb v načrtovanem obsegu.
the development of trade is not affected to an extent contrary to the Union interest.
Glede na te premisleke je torej mogoče ugotoviti, da letališče Frankfurt Hahn že uporablja večino svoje zmogljivosti in da so možnosti srednjeročne uporabe zmogljivosti zadovoljive.
In addition, State aid to airports — as any other State aid measure — must have an incentive effect and be necessary and proportional in relation to the aimed legitimate objective in order to be compatible.
Vsi morebitni uporabniki infrastrukture imajo enak in nediskriminacijski dostop do letališča.
Germany submitted that the investment aid in favour of FFHG complies with all the compatibility criteria contained in the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
Seznam letaliških pristojbin, ki velja za letališče Frankfurt Hahn, je javno dostopen ter pregledno in nediskriminacijsko na voljo vsem morebitnim in sedanjim uporabnikom letališča.
The aid contributes to a clearly defined objective of common interest
Razlike v letaliških pristojbinah, ki so se dejansko plačevale za uporabo infrastrukture, so temeljile na poslovno upravičenem razlikovanju [86].
The investment aid in favour of FFHG aimed at financing the further conversion of the former US military base into a civilian airport and substantially developing the infrastructure of the airport.
Komisija zato meni, da je ta pogoj izpolnjen.
Those measures provided a significant contribution to the regional development and connectivity of the Hunsrück region and the creation of new jobs in an area economically hit by the closure of the US military base, as well as the decongestion of Frankfurt Main airport.
V skladu s točko 39 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2005 lahko kategorija letališča služi kot kazalnik, koliko si letališča medsebojno konkurirajo in torej tudi koliko lahko javno financiranje, dodeljeno letališču, izkrivlja konkurenco.
The Hunsrück region, as pointed out by Germany, is surrounded by a number of areas (such as Landkreis Birkenfeld), which were marked as regions in need of support in the framework of the ‘Gemeinschaftsaufgabe Verbesserung der regionalen Wirtschaftsstruktur’.
Na standardnem gravitacijskem območju letališča Frankfurt Hahn (1 ura vožnje z avtomobilom ali radij 100 kilometrov) ni drugih letališč, ki bi se izkoriščala v komercialne namene.
Indeed, in the period under consideration, Landkreis Birkenfeld was at least partly considered to be a region with a gross domestic product (GDP) below the Union average [83].
Tudi če bi bilo gravitacijsko območje večje, Komisija meni, da pomoč ne ustvarja neupravičenih negativnih učinkov na konkurenco in trgovino med državami članicami.
The Commission considers that the development of Frankfurt Hahn airport also contributed significantly to the creation of new jobs in the Hunsrück region.
Kar zadeva letališče Frankfurt na Majni (najbližje letališče, ki je oddaljeno približno 115 kilometrov ter 1 uro in 15 minut vožnje z avtomobilom), naložbe na letališču Frankfurt Hahn niso privedle do negativnih učinkov zamenljivosti.
As shown by Germany, taking into account all parts of the airport activities, Frankfurt Hahn airport created 3063 jobs in the Hunsrück region in 2012 out of which 74 % were full-time positions and 90 % of those employees also live in this region.
Preden se je družba Fraport vključila v letališče Frankfurt Hahn, je bila namreč že upravljavka letališča Frankfurt na Majni, vendar je vseeno vlagala v letališče Frankfurt Hahn, da bi razbremenila letališče Frankfurt na Majni, saj je bila za navedeno vozlišče v prihodnosti predvidena preobremenitev zmogljivosti.
Moreover, the development of Frankfurt Hahn airport had also positive indirect, induced and catalysing effects on the creation of jobs in the region as well as regional development in general through an increasing number of economic and touristic activities.
Zlasti je bila prepoved nočnih letov na letališču Frankfurt na Majni eden od glavnih dejavnikov, ki jih je bilo treba upoštevati, saj je imelo letališče Frankfurt Hahn dovoljenje za 24-urno obratovanje.
According to the information provided by Germany, Frankfurt Hahn airport contributes significantly to the development of incoming (~ 33 % of passengers corresponding to approximately 1 million passengers in 2005) and outgoing tourism (~ 67 % of passengers) in the Land Rhineland-Palatinate.
Čeprav je letališče Frankfurt Hahn v obdobju 2000–2007 doživelo precejšnjo rast, slika 1 kaže, da je v primerjavi z letališčem Frankfurt na Majni delež prometa ostal zelo omejen.
As pointed out by Germany, 88 % of the incoming passengers stay at least one night in the region and generated approximately 5,7 million overnight stays in 2005.
Kar zadeva druga letališča, je Komisija že pojasnila, da naložbe na letališču Frankfurt Hahn niso bistveno vplivale na konkurenco in trgovino med državami članicami [87].
Since 88 % of incoming tourists from Frankfurt Hahn stay at least one night and more than 80 % of those even stay two to 10 days, they generate a total turnover of about EUR 133,7 million per year.
To velja tudi za letališče Zweibrücken glede na to, da je bolj to letališče tisto, ki pomeni nepotrebno podvajanje infrastrukture (in bi bilo torej odgovorno za morebitno izkrivljanje konkurence).
The aided investments at issue also helped to improve the accessibility of the area.
Na splošno ni mogoče pričakovati učinka zamenljivosti v zvezi z železniškim prevozom.
Nevertheless, the duplication of unprofitable airports (or the creation of additional unused capacity) does not contribute to an objective of common interest.
Glede na premisleke iz uvodnih izjav 223 do 228 Komisija meni, da so morebitni neupravičeni negativni učinki na konkurenco in trgovino med državami članicami omejeni na minimum.
In this case, the Commission takes the view that the investment aid does not lead to such a duplication which would diminish the medium-term prospects for the use of existing infrastructure at other, neighbouring airports.
Komisija mora ugotoviti, ali se je zaradi državne pomoči, dodeljene letališču Frankfurt Hahn, ravnanje upravičenca spremenilo tako, da se je začel ukvarjati z dejavnostjo, ki prispeva k uresničevanju cilja skupnega interesa, pri čemer (i) je brez pomoči ne bi izvajal ali (ii) bi jo izvajal le v omejenem obsegu ali drugače.
Indeed, there are no other airports within 100 kilometres or 60 minutes travelling time from Frankfurt Hahn airport.
Poleg tega se pomoč šteje za sorazmerno samo, če enakega rezultata ne bi bilo mogoče doseči z manj pomoči in manj izkrivljanja.
The closest airports to Frankfurt Hahn are Frankfurt Main airport, which is located at 115 kilometres distance or 1 hour 15 minutes travelling time by car, and Luxembourg airport, which is located 1 hour and 30 minutes travelling time (111 kilometres) away.
To pomeni, da morata biti znesek in intenzivnost pomoči omejena na najmanjša potrebna za izvedbo dejavnosti, ki ji je bila dodeljena pomoč.
Frankfurt Main airport is an international hub airport with a wide variety of destinations and is predominantly served by network carriers offering connecting traffic, whereas Frankfurt Hahn airport serves low-cost point-to-point flights.
Glede na informacije, ki jih je predložila Nemčija, naložbe ne bi bilo mogoče izvesti brez pomoči.
Traffic at Frankfurt Main airport has continuously increased since 2000, from 49,4 million passengers in 2000 to approximately 58 million in 2012.
Nemčija je trdila, da je bila pomoč potrebna, saj so bili z njo nadomeščeni samo stroški financiranja, nižji znesek pa bi privedel do nižjih ravni naložb.
However, during that period growth has been affected by congestion problems and capacity constraints.
Dejansko letališče glede na finančne rezultate, povzete v preglednicah 3 in 4, še vedno ustvarja izgubo in ni sposobno financirati svojih stroškov naložb.
Therefore, according to Germany, especially in the light of its 24-hour operating licence, Frankfurt Hahn airport played an important role in providing additional capacity in order to relieve the congestion at Frankfurt Main airport.
Letališče Frankfurt Hahn brez pomoči ne bi bilo kos pričakovanemu povpraševanju letalskih prevoznikov, potnikov in špediterjev, raven gospodarske dejavnosti letališča pa bi se znižala.
In fact, until 2009 Fraport was the majority shareholder of FFHG, the operator of Frankfurt Hahn airport (2,7 million passengers in 2013, around 4 million passengers in 2007 at its peak) and the operator of Frankfurt-Main airport (58 million passengers and 2,1 million freight), and was as such pursuing a diversification strategy.
Opozoriti je treba tudi, da je bila javna podpora dodeljena v obdobju, ko je družba FFHG izvedla zelo velike naložbe v infrastrukturo (več kot 220 milijonov EUR v obdobju 2001–2012).
Luxembourg airport, which is the nearest airport to Frankfurt Hahn but still around 111 kilometres or 1 hour 30 minutes travelling time by car away, had around 1,7 million passengers in 2008 and experienced a rapid growth to 2,2 million in 2013.
Od tega je bilo 46 milijonov EUR vloženih v obravnavanem obdobju (2009–2012).
Even though Luxembourg airport is slightly smaller than Frankfurt Hahn airport in terms of passenger traffic, its freight activity is substantially larger, with 674000 tonnes in 2013.
Iz tega sledi, da je pomoč za naložbe krila le del skupnih stroškov naložb in je bila omejena na razliko med obrestno mero, plačano za sredstva, in tržno obrestno mero, po kateri bi družba FFHG ta sredstva pridobila na trgu.
