During the formal investigation procedure, Germany clarified that the 1991 PLTA was unlimited in time and not substantially amended since then.
Komisija ugotavlja še, da sta bili uporaba letališke infrastrukture in shema pristojbin NERES odprti za vse zainteresirane letalske prevoznike brez neupravičene diskriminacije.
The Commission observes that indeed the amendments of the 1991 PLTA in 1999 and 2008 did not lead to the modification of the loss coverage mechanism and nature of the 1991 PLTA.
SKLEPNA UGOTOVITEV
Normally, the Commission cannot put into question individual aid measures definitely adopted before the Aéroports de Paris judgment.
Komisija glede na opravljeni izračun dodatne donosnosti ugotavlja, da je bila uvedba programa NERES v skladu z načelom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, saj je s predhodnega vidika dodatno prispevala k donosnosti letališča.
In the present case, however the 1991 PLTA is covering the annual losses of FD for an unlimited period of time and an unlimited amount, and thus, it is an aid scheme within the meaning of Article 1 (d) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999.
Zlasti so se vsi stroški letališča, izhajajoči iz uvedbe programa NERES, z razumno stopnjo dobička krili s prihodki (iz letalskih in neletalskih dejavnosti), izhajajočimi iz uvedbe navedenega programa.
According to Article 108(1) of the Treaty TFEU and Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 the Commission can propose appropriate measures for existing aid schemes.
Poleg tega se je razumno pričakovalo, da bodo prihodki, ki jih je treba pripisati navzočnosti določenih letalskih prevoznikov, presegali stroške, ki jih je treba pripisati neposredno posameznim pogodbam z zadevnimi letalskimi prevozniki.
In addition, according to point 83 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines [52] the Commission invited Member States to amend their existing schemes relating to State aid to airports to conform to these guidelines by 1 June 2007 at the latest.
Nadalje se je za program NERES štelo, da je del splošne strategije letališča, ki naj bi vsaj dolgoročno vodila k donosnosti.
Member States were asked to confirm their acceptance in writing.
Ugotovljeno je bilo še, da sta bili letališka infrastruktura in shema pristojbin odprti za vse zainteresirane letalske prevoznike.
Should a Member State fail to act according to its commitment, the existing aid becomes unlawful aid after the date set in the appropriate measures and is subject to recovery.
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da s programom NERES letalskim prevoznikom ni dodeljena gospodarska prednost, ki je pod običajnimi tržnimi pogoji ne bi pridobili.
Germany accepted the appropriate measures by letter dated 30 May 2006.
Program NERES torej ne pomeni državne pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
Accordingly, Germany had to ensure that the aid scheme conformed to the 2005 Guidelines by 1 June 2007 the latest.
UKREP 4 – NARAVA POMOČI PROGRAMA NEO
As from that date onward, the public financing granted to FD under the 1991 PLTA no longer constituted existing aid.
Glede na premisleke iz oddelka 7.3.1 mora Komisija za ugotovitev, ali je bila dodeljena prednost letalskim prevoznikom, ki so izkoristili program NEO, preučiti, ali bi v podobnih okoliščinah letališče, ki deluje pod običajnimi pogoji v tržnem gospodarstvu in ga usmerjajo obeti dolgoročnejše donosnosti, sklenilo enake ali podobne poslovne sporazume kot družba FD.
(231) Consequently, the Commission will limit its assessment to the period starting as from 1 June 2007.
Komisija zdaj meni, da je najustreznejše merilo za oceno dogovorov, ki jih letališča sklenejo z letalskimi prevozniki, predhodna analiza dodatne donosnosti.
INTERMEDIATE CONCLUSION
Poleg tega mora Komisija v skladu s sodbo Charleroi [56] analizirati pričakovani učinek programa NEO na družbo FD ob upoštevanju vseh pomembnih značilnosti zadevnega ukrepa.
For the reasons set out in recitals 184 to 231, the Commission concludes that the contributions by DSW21 to the capital costs for investments as Dortmund airport that were decided after the Aéroports de Paris judgment and incurred as from 1 June 2007, constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Komisija se mora za izvedbo preskusa udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu umestiti v obdobje, ko je bil sprejet program NEO.
Pursuant to Article 108(3) of the Treaty, Member States must notify any plans to grant or alter aid, and may not put the proposed measures into effect until the notification procedure has resulted in a final decision.
ANALIZA DONOSNOSTI PROGRAMA NEO
Since the contributions at stake have been granted without prior approval by the Commission, Germany has not respected the prohibition of Article 108(3) of the TFEU.
Komisija v zvezi s predhodno oceno dodatne donosnosti programa NEO meni, da je razlikovanje cen standardna poslovna praksa, če je to v skladu s celotnim ustreznim konkurenčnim pravom in sektorsko zakonodajo.
MEASURE 3 — AID NATURE OF NERES
Komisija bo pri oceni dogovorov med letališčem in letalskim prevoznikom upoštevala tudi obseg, v katerem se lahko zadevni dogovori štejejo za del izvajanja splošne strategije letališča, ki naj bi vsaj dolgoročno vodila k donosnosti.
ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE AND APPLICATION OF THE MEO PRINCIPLE
Program NEO velja za vse letalske prevoznike, ki uporabljajo letališče.
In order to determine whether FD granted an advantage to the airlines benefiting from NERES, the Commission has to examine whether in similar circumstances an airport operating under normal conditions of the market economy and guided by prospects of profitability in longer term would have entered into same or similar commercial arrangement as FD.
To je še poudarjeno z dejstvom, da so lahko letalski prevozniki med izvajanjem programa NEO vstopali na letališče in izstopali z njega, ne da bi se program spremenil.
Moreover, the airport infrastructure must be open to all airlines (this includes infrastructure more likely to be used by certain categories of airlines, such as low-cost carriers or charters).
Družba FD je pred sprejetjem odločitve o uvedbi programa NEO pripravila finančno napoved in napoved prometa za različne možnosti, naštete v uvodni izjavi 268, pri čemer je uporabila različne sklope predpostavk za osnovni, najslabši in najugodnejši scenarij.
According to the Charleroi judgement [53] when assessing the measures in question the Commission has to take into account all the relevant features of the measures and their context.
Pri vsakem od scenarijev je morala računati na močno zmanjšanje števila potnikov in izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti, če bi se uporabila shema pristojbin iz leta 2000 ali mešana shema pristojbin.
In other words, the Commission has to analyse the expected impact of NERES on FD, taking into account all relevant features of the measure in question.
To bi povzročilo stalne izgube iz poslovanja v celotnem napovedanem obdobju.
The Court declared in the Stardust Marine judgment that, ‘[…] in order to examine whether or not the State has adopted the conduct of a prudent investor operating in a market economy, it is necessary to place oneself in the context of the period during which the financial support measures were taken in order to assess the economic rationality of the State's conduct, and thus to refrain from any assessment based on a later situation’ [54].
Dodatni učinek programa NEO kot splošne sheme letaliških pristojbin se je primerjal z navedenimi alternativnimi scenariji.
In order to be able to apply the MEO test the Commission has to place itself at the time when NERES was adopted.
Družba FD je ocenila pozitivni finančni učinek uvedbe programa NEO, kot je prikazan v preglednicah 16 in 17.
The Commission must also base its assessment on the information and assumptions which were at the disposal when NERES was adopted.
V zvezi s tem so v preglednicah 16 in 17 povzeti rezultati dodatne donosnosti programa NEO.
PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS OF NERES
Prikazane so pričakovane razlike glede števila potnikov, stroškov, prihodkov in rezultatov družbe FD v primerjavi z alternativnimi scenariji.
At present the Commission considers the ex ante incremental profitability analysis to be the most relevant criterion for the assessment of arrangements concluded by airports with airlines.
Iz preglednic 16 in 17 je razvidno, da se je od prvega leta uvedbe programa NEO in v celotnem obdobju njegove uporabe pričakovalo, da bo pozitivno prispeval k donosnosti letališča.
In this respect, the Commission considers that price differentiation is a standard business practice, as long as it complies with all relevant competition and sectoral legislation.
Dodatni prihodki zaradi uvedbe programa NEO naj bi bili vsako leto višji od dodatnih stroškov.
Nevertheless, such differentiated pricing policies should be commercially justified to satisfy the MEO test.
Komisija ugotavlja, da glede na visoke stalne stroške in zelo omejene dodatne stroške v zvezi z zagotavljanjem storitev na podlagi programa NEO te napovedi niso bile občutljive za predpostavke v zvezi s splošnim razvojem prometa.
The Commission considers that arrangements concluded between airlines and an airport can be deemed to satisfy the MEO test when they incrementally contribute, from an ex ante point of view, to the profitability of the airport.
Nemčija je predložila tudi naknadne podatke (kot so predstavljeni v preglednicah 25 in 26) v zvezi s stroški in prihodki, ki so se po njenem mnenju povišali zaradi posebnih dogovorov z letalskimi prevozniki na letališču Dortmund med letoma 2000 in 2011 (vključno z obdobjem pred uvedbo programa NEO).
The airport should demonstrate that, when setting up an arrangement with an airline (for example, an individual contract or an overall scheme of airport charges), it is capable of covering all costs stemming from the arrangement, over the duration of the arrangement, with a reasonable profit margin on the basis of sound medium-term prospects.
Kot stroške poslovanja, ki jih je mogoče neposredno pripisati letalskim prevoznikom, je štela samo stroške trženja (kot so predstavljeni v preglednici 25).
In order to assess whether an arrangement concluded by an airport with an airline satisfies the MEO test, expected non-aeronautical revenues stemming from the airline's activity must be taken into consideration together with airport charges, net of any rebates, marketing support or incentive schemes).
Ti podatki (do leta 2008) so bili na voljo, ko je bila sprejeta odločitev o uvedbi programa NEO in sklenitvi posebnih dogovorov z letalskimi prevozniki.
Similarly, all expected costs incrementally incurred by the airport in relation to the airline's activity at the airport must be taken into account.
Na podlagi teh dodatnih prihodkov bi lahko letališče pričakovalo, da bodo prihodki, ki so jih ustvarili letalski prevozniki, krili povezane dodatne stroške in s tem pozitivno prispevali k splošni donosnosti letališča.
Such incremental costs may encompass all categories of expenses or investments, such as incremental personnel, equipment and investment costs induced by the presence of the airline at the airport.
Komisija ugotavlja, da doseženi dodatni prihodki in stroški dejansko omogočajo pozitivni prispevek pogodb k donosnosti letališča.
For instance, if the airport needs to expand or build a new terminal or other facilities mainly to accommodate the needs of a specific airline, such costs should be taken into consideration when calculating the incremental costs.
Preglednica 25
In contrast, costs which the airport would have to incur anyway independently from the arrangement with the airline should not be taken into account in the MEO test.
Stroški, ki jih je mogoče neposredno pripisati letalskim prevoznikom
When assessing airport/airline arrangements, the Commission will also take into account the extent to which the arrangements under assessment can be considered part of the implementation of an overall strategy of the airport expected to lead to profitability at least in the long-term.
Stroški poslovanja, ki jih je mogoče neposredno pripisati letalskemu prevozniku
NERES was eligible to all airlines using the airport that fulfilled its conditions in terms of passenger volume and introduction of new routes.
Stroški investicijskega vzdrževanja, ki jih je mogoče neposredno pripisati letalskemu prevozniku
It is not an arrangement specific to an airline or a group of airlines.
letalski prevoznik A […]
Therefore, it is an overall scheme of airport charges as referred to in point 63 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines.
letalski prevoznik C […]
The relevant costs and revenues that are incremental to NERES are those that FD expected to incur by applying NERES as compared to applying another alternative scheme of charges.
letalski prevoznik E […]
Until the introduction of NERES, the 2000 scheme of charges was generally applicable.
letalski prevoznik A
Hence, at the time of the introduction of NERES, FD faced with the following three choices: (i) to maintain the 2000 scheme with higher airport charges as a generally applicable scheme to all users; or (ii) to introduce NERES with lower airport charges than those set out in the 2000 scheme.
letalski prevoznik B
Due to the major extensive construction of its infrastructure before 2000, FD is characterised with a high level of fixed costs, both fixed investment costs and operating costs.
letalski prevoznik C
Its highly developed infrastructure requires a high proportion of the operating costs, which does not vary by modification of the number of airlines or passengers.
Prihodki, ki jih je mogoče neposredno pripisati letalskim prevoznikom
Before deciding upon the application of NERES, FD made a financial and traffic forecast for the options with and without NERES, applying different sets of assumptions as base-, worst- and best-case scenarios.
Prihodki iz letalskih dejavnosti na letalskega prevoznika
In any of the scenarios FD had to count with a sharp decrease in the number of passengers and the use of its capacity, if the 2000 scheme of charges were to apply.
letalski prevoznik B […]
The consequence would have been continuous operating losses throughout the forecasted period.
letalski prevoznik D […]
The incremental effect of NERES as an overall scheme of airport charges has been compared to these alternative scenarios.
letalski prevoznik F […]
FD estimated the positive financial effect of the introduction of NERES.
letalski prevoznik G […]
In this regard, Table 24 summarises the incremental profitability results of NERES.
Glavni letalski prevozniki: […]
Table 24
Prihodki iz neletalskih dejavnosti na letalskega prevoznika
Incremental profitability of NERES 2004-2009 (EUR thousands)
Komisija nadalje ugotavlja, da je letalski prevoznik Wizz Air od vseh podjetij prejel najvišje povprečne prispevke za trženje na potnika.
Incremental costs
Študija, ki jo je opravila družba Oxera, je zagotovila zelo izčrpno analizo dodatnih stroškov, ki upošteva več kategorij stroškov, povečanih zaradi navzočnosti letalskega prevoznika Wizz Air na letališču.
Incremental revenues
Komisija se dejansko strinja, da se nekateri všteti stroški, kot so nekateri stroški naložb, verjetno niso povišali zaradi navzočnosti letalskega prevoznika Wizz Air na letališču Dortmund.
Incremental profit
Vendar ugotavlja, da ta študija kaže tudi, da je navzočnost letalskega prevoznika Wizz Air na letališču dodatno pozitivno prispevala k donosnosti letališča.
Net Present Value [55]
Glede na to, da se metodologija, ki jo je uporabila družba Oxera, lahko uporabi tudi za druge letalske prevoznike, in ker so njihove posebne ugodnosti na potnika nižje od ugodnosti, ki jih ima Wizz Air, je mogoče ugotoviti, da so bili tudi drugi letalski prevozniki dodatno donosni za letališče.
EUR 10,7 million
Komisija nadalje ugotavlja, da je treba pri oceni dogovorov med letališčem in letalskim prevoznikom oceniti tudi obseg, v katerem se lahko zadevni dogovori štejejo za del izvajanja splošne strategije letališča ki bi vsaj dolgoročno vodila k donosnosti.
The net present value (NPV) of the incremental profits of NERES in 2004-2009 was expected to be EUR 10,7 million.
V zvezi s tem mora Komisija upoštevati dejanske dokaze, ki so bili na voljo, in razvoj, ki ga je bilo mogoče razumno pričakovati, ko je bila sprejeta shema pristojbin NEO.
Table 24 shows that as from the first year of its introduction as well as throughout its whole application NERES was expected to contribute positively to the profitability of FD.
Zlasti je treba upoštevati prevladujoče tržne pogoje, predvsem tržne spremembe, ki so jih sprožili liberalizacija trga zračnega prometa, vstop na trg in razvoj nizkocenovnih prevoznikov in drugih prevoznikov, ki ponujajo storitve od točke do točke, spremembe v organizacijski in ekonomski strukturi letališke industrije ter stopnja diverzifikacije in kompleksnosti nalog, ki jih opravljajo letališča, okrepitev konkurence med letalskimi prevozniki in letališči, negotovo gospodarsko okolje zaradi sprememb v prevladujočih tržnih pogojih ali druge negotovosti v gospodarskem okolju.
Its incremental revenues due to the introduction of NERES were expected every year to be higher than its incremental costs.
Preglednici 15 in 19 prikazujeta pričakovane rezultate poslovanja (z uporabo EBITDA) s prilagoditvami za stroške, povezane s področjem javne politike, za stroške, povezane s preteklimi naložbami, in brez teh prilagoditev.
A positive incremental contribution was expected independently of the base-, worst- and best-case scenarios.
Preglednica, ki vključuje področje javne politike, je bila del predhodnih napovedanih scenarijev, pripravljenih za odločanje v zvezi s sprejetjem programa NEO.
The Commission observes, that given the high fixed costs and the very limited incremental costs relating to the provision of services pursuant to NERES, these forecasts were not sensitive to the assumptions regarding the overall traffic development.
Prilagojena preglednica 10 je bila preoblikovana, da bi se upoštevali stroški in prihodki, povezani s področjem javne politike.
Germany also provided ex post data (as presented in Table 25 and Table 26) regarding the costs and revenues which it considers as incremental to the presence of airlines at Dortmund airport between 2000 and 2011 (including the period prior to the introduction of NERES).
Program NEO je bil pripravljen kot nadaljevanje strategije osredotočenja na nizkocenovne letalske prevoznike, ki se je začela izvajati s programom NERES.
Germany considered only marketing expenses (as presented in Table 25) as directly attributable operating costs to airlines.
Pri tem sta bila upoštevana umik podjetij s celotnimi storitvami z letališča Dortmund in nadaljnji razvoj nizkocenovnih letalskih prevoznikov, ki so največ prispevali k rasti v evropski regiji.
According to Germany no investments and therefore no capital costs (depreciation and interests relating to the investments) are attributable to any of the airlines present at the airport.
Iz preglednice 15 je razvidno, da se je pričakovalo, da bo program NEO srednjeročno zmanjšal izgube iz poslovanja letališča na ravni EBITDA, celo če so sporočeni stroški vključevali stroške, povezane s področjem javne politike.
These data (up to the year 2004) was available when the decision was taken to introduce NERES and to admit airlines to the scheme.
Poleg tega preglednica 19 prikazuje napovedane rezultate poslovanja na ravni EBITDA, pri čemer je Nemčija od stroškov in prihodkov odštela postavke, za katere je menila, da ne spadajo na področje nadzora državnih pomoči, kot so stroški, povezani s področjem javne politike.
Based on these incremental revenues and on the absence of incremental costs, the airport was in a position to offer discounts and other incentives to airlines in order to maintain or to increase the number of passengers at the airport.
Nemčija je pozneje potrdila, da nekateri stroški, ki so bili odšteti v preglednici 19, niso povezani s področjem javne politike.
As far as the revenue generated by the airlines covers the incremental costs of the airport, including also cost such as discounts and incentives, it contributes positively to the overall profitability of the airport.
Kljub temu se Komisija strinja, da bi se ob uvedbi programa NEO lahko štelo, da je del izvajanja splošne strategije letališča, ki naj bi vsaj dolgoročno vodila k donosnosti.
The Commission observes that the achieved incremental revenues and costs led indeed to a positive contribution of the contracts to the profitability of the airport during the application of NERES between 2004 and 2009.
Komisija ugotavlja še, da sta bili uporaba letališke infrastrukture in shema pristojbin NEO odprti za vse zainteresirane letalske prevoznike.
The Commission further notes that when assessing airport/airline arrangements, it should also assess the extent to which the arrangements under assessment can be considered part of the implementation of an overall strategy of the airport which leads to profitability at least in the long-term.
Komisija glede na opravljeni izračun dodatne donosnosti ugotavlja, da je bila uvedba programa NEO v skladu z načelom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, saj je s predhodnega vidika dodatno prispevala k donosnosti letališča.
In this respect, the Commission has to take into account the factual evidence that was available, and the developments that could reasonably be expected, at the time when the NERES schedule of charges was adopted.
Zlasti so se vsi stroški letališča, izhajajoči iz uvedbe programa NEO, z razumno stopnjo dobička krili s prihodki (iz letalskih in neletalskih dejavnosti), izhajajočimi iz uvedbe navedenega programa.
It took into account the retreat of the full service companies from Dortmund airport and the further development of the low-cost airlines, which were the main growth generator in this region.
Program NEO torej ne pomeni državne pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
Table 15 also shows that FD was expected to return to profitablity at the EBITDA-level three years after the introduction of NERES.
ZDRUŽLJIVOST
The scheme was expected to yield a positive incremental profit from the first year onward, even if it would have attracted a lower number of passengers than expected.
UPORABA SMERNIC ZA LETALSKI SEKTOR IZ LET 2014 IN 2005
Also the Ecorys study commissioned by the Commission confirmed that it had been reasonably expected that a MEO would choose to implement the NERES scheme.
Člen 107(3) Pogodbe določa nekatere izjeme od splošnega pravila iz člena 107(1) Pogodbe glede nezdružljivosti državne pomoči z notranjim trgom.
According to Ecorys, the alternative to close the airport would be more costly.
Zadevna pomoč se lahko oceni samo na podlagi člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe, ki določa, da se lahko: „pomoč za pospeševanje razvoja določenih gospodarskih dejavnosti ali določenih gospodarskih območij, kadar takšna pomoč ne spreminja trgovinskih pogojev v obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju s skupnimi interesi,“ šteje za združljivo z notranjim trgom.
Given the positive contribution to the profitability of the airport, the Commission can also observe that NERES was introduced in view of a strategy to reach profitability at long-term.
V zvezi s tem smernice za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 zagotavljajo okvir za oceno, ali se lahko pomoč za letališča razglasi za združljivo s členom 107(3)(c) Pogodbe.
Consequently, the scheme complies with MEO principle.
Komisija v skladu s smernicami za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 meni, da se obvestilo Komisije o določitvi veljavnih pravil za ocenjevanje nezakonite državne pomoči [57] uporablja za nezakonito pomoč za naložbe letališčem.
Finally, the Commission notes that the airport infrastructure use as well as the NERES scheme of charges were open to all interested airlines without undue discrimination.
V zvezi s tem bo Komisija, če je bila nezakonita pomoč za naložbe dodeljena pred 4. aprilom 2014, uporabila pravila o združljivosti, ki so veljala, ko je bila nezakonita pomoč za naložbe dodeljena.
CONCLUSION
Skladno s tem bo za nezakonito pomoč za naložbe, ki je bila letališčem dodeljena pred 4. aprilom 2014, uporabila načela, določena v smernicah za letalski sektor iz leta 2005 [58].
