The specific compatibility criteria are set out in point 79 of the 2005 Guidelines.
Ukrepi finančne podpore, odobreni letališki službi zbornice, torej ne izpolnjujejo drugega pogoja iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark.
The Commission takes the view that the compatibility of the following State aid should be assessed in the light of the 2005 Guidelines:
Obdobje upravljanja družbe VTAN (2007–2012)
the amendments of 1 August 2007 to the agreements of 2 January 2007,
Nadomestila, ki jih je družbi VTAN plačal sindikat, so bila dodeljena na podlagi SPOJS in njegovih prilog, v katerih so podrobno določene obveznosti obeh strank v okviru naloge upravljanja in opredeljena podrobna pravila za izračun pavšalnega prispevka, ki ga je sindikat plačal družbi VTAN.
the amendments of 25 August 2009, 18 August 2010 and 30 November 2010 to the agreements of 27 August 2008.
Vendar so bila podrobna pravila za izračun tega prispevka pozneje spremenjena s štirimi aneksi.
The Commission does not consider that the measures granted can be declared compatible with the Treaty.
Natančneje, aneks št. 3 k SPOJS določa, da sindikat družbi VTAN dodeli subvencijo v višini [100000–300000] EUR za leto 2009, in predvsem uvaja novo besedilo določbe 27-4 SPOJS, ki določa, da se od navedenega datuma „pavšalni prispevek lahko poveča za znesek subvencij, ki jih organ, ki je prenesel pooblastila, pobere od drugih organov“.
In fact, the Commission takes the view that several compatibility criteria are not met, in particular:
Z aneksom št. 3 so bili tako uvedeni novi parametri za izračun, ki niso objektivni, saj niso povezani s stroški in prejemki družbe VTAN.
Long-term viability and degressiveness (criterion (d)), absence of a business plan (criterion (i)) and intensity and duration of the measure (criterion (f)).
Pavšalni prispevek torej ne izpolnjuje drugega pogoja iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark.
None of the measures in question was structured to guarantee a degressive aid amount limited to a certain percentage of the eligible costs, which are not mentioned in the agreements in question or, to the Commission’s knowledge, in any other document that VTAN or the SMAN may have had at the time when the agreements were signed.
Poseben javni prispevek in subvencije za opremo, navedeni v uvodni izjavi 565, prav tako ne izpolnjujejo navedenega merila, ker gre za enkratne finančne podpore, ki prvotno niso bile predvidene.
The degressiveness and maximum intensity criterion is not therefore met by any of the measures.
Podrobni pogoji za izbiro ponudnika storitev (četrti pogoj)
In addition, France has indicated that Ryanair did not provide VTAN with a ‘business plan proving the viability of the route for a substantial period after the expiry of the financial incentives/marketing payments’.
Zbornica za upravljanje letališča ni bila izbrana na podlagi razpisnega postopka in Komisija nima dokazov, da so bili zneski ukrepov finančne podpore, ki jih je prejela, določeni na podlagi analize stroškov, ki bi jih imelo povprečno, dobro vodeno podjetje, ki je ustrezno opremljeno s potrebnimi sredstvi.
Given this fact, and in the absence of any other information supporting the opposite view, the Commission concludes that the aid in question was not granted for routes likely to become viable without aid.
Ukrepi finančne podpore, odobreni letališki službi zbornice, torej ne izpolnjujejo četrtega pogoja iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark.
Furthermore, the succession of aid measures for the routes to London (from the end of 2001 to the beginning of 2002), Liverpool (from 2005), Charleroi and East Midlands (from 2006) suggests that Ryanair would not have operated these routes if they had stopped being subsidised.
Družba Veolia Transport je bila izbrana na podlagi postopka za oddajo javnega naročila s pogajanji, in sicer po predhodni objavi obvestila o javnem razpisu v Uradnem listu Evropske unije.
Given the above, the Commission concludes that the aforementioned criteria are not met by any of the measures in question.
V smislu prava Unije so francoski organi torej uporabili postopek s pogajanji po predhodni objavi.
The Commission notes that the agreements in question were not signed solely with a view to opening new routes or additional frequencies.
V zvezi s tem navaja, da je sindikat po predložitvi ponudb obeh kandidatov, ki sta se odzvala na razpis, začel pogajanja z vsakim od njiju.
Accordingly, the agreements of 2 January 2007 did not provide for the opening of new routes or new frequencies on existing routes over and above those provided for by the 2005 agreements.
Med drugim sta družba Veolia Transport in sindikat navezala stike, namenjene pojasnitvi ali celo spremembi nekaterih pomembnih vidikov ponudbe družbe Veolia Transport.
As regards the amendment of 1 August 2007, France has confirmed that this was a condition for the Ryanair service to Charleroi to be maintained for the 2007-2008 winter season.
Poleg tega je glede na sklep o oddaji naročila sindikat na podlagi postopka menil, da je ponudba družbe Veolia Transport najugodnejša glede na merila iz razpisnih pravil, zlasti: (i) politiko tržnega razvoja, (ii) finančni nadzor, (iii) varnost in (iv) zavezanost kakovosti.
It was not therefore linked with the opening of a new route or new frequencies.
Toda zadevna merila so sindikatu puščala veliko prostora pri izbiri ponudnika, saj so bila oblikovana zelo na splošno ter so presegala kakovost opravljene storitve in stroške za skupnost.
The agreements of 1 November 2007 also did not provide for the opening of new routes, but rather frequencies that were equal to or less than those provided for in the agreements of 2 January 2007, depending on the season, except for the route to London, for which an additional daily flight was introduced for the summer season.
Tak je zlasti primer merila „politika tržnega razvoja“, ki ga nikakor ni mogoče enačiti z merilom kakovosti za SSGP.
Likewise, the agreements of 27 August 2008 concerned only two routes out of the four covered by the previous agreements (London and Charleroi), with identical frequencies to those provided for in the agreements of 1 November 2007.
Iz vseh teh razlogov postopek, ki ga je uporabil sindikat, ni zagotavljal, da bo izbran „ponudnik, ki bi lahko zadevne storitve zagotovil po najnižjih stroških za skupnost“.
The 2009 amendments, which simply extended those agreements, also did not provide for the opening of new routes or additional frequencies.
Poleg tega iz ničesar ne izhaja, da so ocene stroškov, ki jih je pripravila družba VTAN in na podlagi katerih je bil določen pavšalni prispevek, ustrezale stroškom, ki bi jih povprečno, dobro vodeno in ustrezno opremljeno podjetje imelo z upravljanem letališča.
As regards amendment No 1 of 18 August 2010, France has confirmed that the very small amount of the service was not such as to alter the routes and frequencies stipulated in the initial agreement or the expected traffic.
V zvezi s tem se zdi, da se je družba VTAN pri pripravi ocen oprla predvsem na podatke o upravljanju letališke službe zbornice.
According to France, this amendment was signed in order to maintain good commercial relations between the airport operator and Ryanair, and can be likened to a gesture of goodwill that did not alter the general balance of the concession.
Vendar ni dokazov, kar bi potrjevali, da je letališka služba zbornice ravnala kot povprečno, dobro vodeno in ustrezno opremljeno podjetje.
As regards amendment No 2 of 30 November 2010, France has confirmed that this amendment was agreed ‘due to pressure being exerted by Ryanair on VTAN with regard to the Liverpool route’.
Ukrepi finančne podpore, odobreni družbi VTAN, torej ne izpolnjujejo četrtega pogoja iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark.
France has provided emails of 23 and 29 November 2010, exchanged between Ryanair and VTAN, which prove that Ryanair was threatening to withdraw two flights from this route (reducing the number of flights from four to two) and was making the continued operation of these flights for summer 2011 (period from March 2011 to October 2011) conditional upon the purchase of additional marketing services to help promote this route, in an amount of EUR [35000-65000].
Kot je dokazano zgoraj, nobeden od zadevnih ukrepov ne izpolnjuje kumulativnih pogojev iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark.
In the absence of this exceptional increase in the contribution, Ryanair might have ceased operating the route to Liverpool.
Zato je treba še preveriti, ali sta se lahko letališka služba zbornice ali družba VTAN na podlagi različnih zadevnih ukrepov izognili stroškom, ki bi običajno morali bremeniti njuna lastna finančna sredstva, oziroma ali navedeni ukrepi ustrezajo običajnim tržnim razmeram.
This amendment was not therefore linked with the opening of new routes or additional frequencies, but only with saving an existing route.
Analiza obstoja gospodarske prednosti – Ukrepi, s katerimi se je mogoče izogniti stroškom, ki bi jih morali običajno kriti letališka služba zbornice in družba VTAN
As a result, none of the measures in question was granted with a view to opening new routes or additional frequencies on existing routes.
„Enkratne subvencije“ v skupnem znesku 1,35 milijona EUR, ki so jih leta 2005 dodelili mestna skupnost AC, mestna skupnost NM in generalni svet, so nepovratna sredstva, dodeljena brez kakršnih koli možnosti donosa naložbe za zadevne organe.
Compensation for additional start-up costs (criterion (e)).
V zvezi z vračljivimi predplačili je treba najprej navesti, da ustrezajo brezobrestnim posojilom, ki jih je splošna služba zbornice dodelila letališki službi zbornice.
The Commission considers that, for each of the measures in question, this criterion was not met.
Po navedbah Francije „dejstvo, da so bila predplačila dana na voljo brez uporabe obrestne mere, poleg tega ne zadošča za to, da bi Komisija ugotovila obstoj državne pomoči.
The amounts paid by the Operators were not intended to represent a portion of the additional start-up costs, for which, to the Commission’s knowledge, estimates were never produced by Ryanair/AMS and provided to the Operators.
V skladu s sodno prakso Splošnega sodišča Evropske unije je namreč treba priznati, da posojilodajalci zaradi svojega predhodnega statusa delničarjev privolijo v dodelitev brezobrestnih posojil ali celo poroštev brez plačila premij.
This also shows that the condition relating to the maximum aid intensity was not met.
Podobno je treba priznati, da je bilo za zbornico kot koncesionarja letališča normalno, da je dala svoji letališki službi na voljo zadostna sredstva, da je ta lahko zagotovila nadaljnje upravljanje letališča Nîmes“ (opombe izpuščene).
Link with the development of the route (criterion (g)).
Taka trditev bi bila lahko upoštevna samo, če bi lahko zbornica z dodelitvijo teh predplačil, da bi omogočila nadaljnje delovanje letališča Nîmes, pričakovala, da bo s tem bolj ali manj dolgoročno ustvarjena donosnost, ki bi zbornici omogočila ne samo, da zahteva vračilo teh predplačil, ampak tudi, da prejme „donos od naložbe“ za poplačilo vloženih sredstev z morebitnimi dobički, ki bi jih ustvarilo letališče.
The ‘incentive scheme’ provided for in the agreements signed with Ryanair from 10 October 2005 onwards was not linked to the development of routes, but to the traffic levels achieved by Ryanair in terms of the number of passengers.
Komisija je zato Francijo vprašala o koristih, ki jih je lahko zbornica pričakovala od dodelitve teh vračljivih predplačil.
For example, the airport services agreement of 1 January 2007 concerned four routes from Nîmes airport, namely London, Liverpool, Charleroi and East Midlands.
Toda Francija v odgovoru ni navedla nobene hipotetične koristi, ki bi se pričakovala od dodelitve teh subvencij.
The same analysis of this point can be made for the other agreements.
Francija v odgovoru ne navaja možnosti „donosa“, povezanega z vračljivimi predplačili, poleg zagotovila navedenega vračila države po izteku koncesije.
More generally, as explained above, none of the agreements in question was signed exclusively with a view to opening new routes or new frequencies.
Očitno je, da zbornica ob dodelitvi različnih vračljivih predplačil ni mogla pričakovati, da bo upravljanje letališča postalo donosno in bo letališki službi zbornice omogočilo, da vrne odobrena predplačila, hkrati pa izkaže lasten dobiček za poplačilo sredstev, ki jih je vložila splošna služba zbornice.
The resulting aid amounts are not therefore linked with the development of certain routes.
Vračljiva predplačila so bila namreč dodeljena od leta 2002.
Accordingly, the Commission considers that this criterion is not met by any of the measures in question.
Takrat se je družba Air France že umaknila z letališča Nîmes in z mestom je bila že vzpostavljena železniška povezava hitrega vlaka (TGV).
Non-discriminatory allocation (criterion (h)).
Poleg tega se je, kot je razvidno iz razpredelnice 2, poslovni izid letališča, ki je bil od leta 1999 negativen, po navedenem datumu vztrajno poslabševal, in sicer z -269000 EUR na -796000 EUR.
According to France, ‘VTAN states that its intention to grant financial incentives and/or make marketing payments to Ryanair was not made public knowledge before the various agreements were signed.
Tudi pozneje se je še poslabševal, tako da so v letu 2003 izgube znašale 2,4 milijona EUR (leto, ko je družba Air Littoral ukinila svoje lete v Pariz), nato pa so se v letu 2005 zmanjšale na 643000 EUR.
However, VTAN made the same proposals to all airlines, which therefore enabled all interested airlines to offer their services as Ryanair did’.
Skratka, kot je pokazala analiza pogodb med letališko službo zbornice in družbo Ryanair/AMS, je letališka služba zbornice že leta 2002 začela z družbo Ryanair sklepati pogodbe, zaradi katerih bi se lahko poslabšala donosnost letališča, kar je počela do vključno leta 2005.
As a result, the non-discrimination condition, as set out in the 2005 Guidelines, was not met by any of the measures in question.
In končno, poslovni izidi letališke službe zbornice bi bili brez enkratnih subvencij še slabši, s čimer bi bila izključena kakršna koli možnost poplačila vloženih sredstev.
Proposals made privately to certain airlines chosen at the discretion of the airport operator are not enough to meet this condition.
Glede na vse te dejavnike zbornica ni mogla oceniti za verjetno, da bodo lahko sredstva, ki jih je vložila na podlagi predplačil, odobrenih letališki službi zbornice, kakor koli poplačana v bolj ali manj kratkem času.
Given all the above, the Commission considers that none of the unlawful aid granted to Ryanair/AMS through the agreements covered by this investigation meets all the criteria established by the 2005 Guidelines.
Zbornica bi lahko celo resno dvomila, da ji bo letališka zbornica kdaj sposobna ta sredstva vrniti.
Accordingly, the aid resulting from the following measures is incompatible with the internal market:
Poleg tega so morala biti vračljiva predplačila precej visokih zneskov dodeljena vsako leto od leta 2002 do leta 2006, v skupnem znesku približno 7 milijonov EUR, ki se je prištel k pozitivni bilanci vračljivih predplačil v višini 2,7 milijona EUR konec leta 2001.
ASSESSMENT OF THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE CCI-AIRPORT AND VTAN
Francija je v zvezi s tem pojasnila, da za vračilo predplačil s strani letališke službe zbornice ni bil določen natančen rok in da so bila navedena predplačila vsako leto določena tako, da se je uravnotežil proračun letališke službe zbornice.
In this part the Commission will assess the various financial support measures granted to the CCI-Airport and VTAN, as described in Section 3.2.
Poleg tega, čeprav je bilo predvideno, da bo država ob izteku koncesije vrnila preostali znesek vračljivih predplačil, ni bilo predvideno, da bo plačala kakršno koli obrestno mero, s katero bi se ustrezno poplačalo posojilo, ki ga je zbornica dodelila svoji letališki službi.
EXISTENCE OF STATE AID WITHIN THE MEANING OF ARTICLE 107(1) TFEU
Ob upoštevanju navedenega se zdi, da zbornica v razmerju do svoje letališke službe ni ravnala kot udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu, ki ga motivirajo obeti za dobiček.
For a measure to be classed as State aid the following cumulative criteria therefore have to be met:
Skratka, enkratne subvencije in vračljiva predplačila so letališki službi zbornice omogočili gospodarsko prednost.
the beneficiary must be an undertaking within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU, which presupposes that it carries on an economic activity,
Poleg tega so te prednosti selektivne, saj so bile dodeljene samo enemu podjetju.
the measure in question must be granted through state resources and be imputable to the state,
Sindikat se je na podlagi SPOJS zavezal, da bo družbi VTAN med celotnim trajanjem prenosa pooblastil za opravljanje javnih storitev plačeval pavšalni prispevek v znesku [1,2–1,5] milijona EUR v „referenčnem scenariju“ in v znesku [1,0–1,3] milijona EUR v „nadomestnem scenariju“.
the measure in question must distort or threaten to distort competition and be likely to affect trade between Member States.
Ker navedeni sporazum predstavlja precejšen čisti strošek za sindikat, ki ni mogel pričakovati nikakršne otipljive donosnosti zneskov, vloženih na podlagi navedenega sporazuma, ne ustreza običajnim tržnim razmeram in omogoča gospodarsko prednost družbi VTAN.
In order to determine whether the aforementioned subsidies constitute State aid, it should firstly be ascertained whether their successive beneficiaries, namely the CCI-Airport and VTAN, were undertakings, i.e. carried on economic activities at the time when those measures were granted.
Aneks št. 1 SPOJS je vključeval zvišanje pavšalnega prispevka za [20000–50000] EUR brez kakršnih koli obetov za dobiček za sindikat, in sicer kot nadomestilo za izgubo prihodka, ki ga je lahko družba VTAN pričakovala, ko je postala upravljavec letališča, vendar se mu je morala pozneje odreči.
In connection with this question, the Commission will then assess the subsidies received by the CCI-Airport and VTAN under the national system for financing sovereign tasks in French airports, as described in recital 32 et seq.
Aneks št. 1 podobno kot sam SPOJS za sindikat predstavlja čisti strošek brez kakršne koli možnosti donosa in ne ustreza običajnim tržnim razmeram.
Lastly, the Commission will examine whether or not the operation of Nîmes airport may have constituted a service of general economic interest during the period in question.
Zato je družbi VTAN omogočil gospodarsko prednost.
After having made these three preliminary assessments and using their results, the Commission will assess each of the measures covered by this investigation in order to determine whether it constitutes State aid.
Enako velja za aneks št. 3, s katerim se je znova zvišal znesek pavšalnega prispevka brez obetov za dobiček za sindikat, tako da je družbi VTAN omogočil gospodarsko prednost.
Concepts of undertaking and economic activity
Drugače pa je v primeru aneksa št. 2.
As the Commission has explained in the new Guidelines, from the date of the judgment in Aéroports de Paris (12 December 2000), the operation and construction of airport infrastructure must be considered as falling within the ambit of State aid control.
Ta je določal, da družba VTAN prenovi hladilno opremo letališča in da ji sindikat plača nadomestilo v višini neamortizirane vrednosti opreme ob izteku prenosa pooblastil.
Conversely, due to the uncertainty that existed prior to this judgment, public authorities could legitimately consider that the financing of airport infrastructure did not constitute State aid and, accordingly, that such measures did not need to be notified to the Commission.
Pred sklenitvijo aneksa št. 2 je iz člena 25.2 SPOJS izhajalo, da vse potrebne naložbe financira sindikat, razen omejenega izčrpnega seznama naložb, ki so bile s členom 25.1 SPOJS naložene družbi VTAN.
It follows that the Commission cannot now bring into question, on the basis of State aid rules, financing measures granted before 12 December 2000.
Če ne bi bilo aneksa št. 2, bi moral prenovo hladilne opreme, ki je postala neuporabna, financirati sindikat in ne družba VTAN.
Furthermore, as also indicated in the new Guidelines, not all the activities of an airport are necessarily of an economic nature.
Tako se z aneksom št. 2 niso znižali stroški, ki bi običajno bremenili finančna sredstva družbe VTAN.
Activities that normally fall under the responsibility of the state in the exercise of its official powers as a public authority are not of an economic nature and in general do not fall within the scope of the rules on State aid.
Nasprotno, pomenil je finančno ugodno rešitev za sindikat, ki bi moral financirati zadevno naložbo, vendar mu zaradi aneksa št. 2 ni bilo treba vložiti potrebnih zneskov, saj je moral financirati samo neamortizirano vrednost blaga ob izteku prenosa pooblastil.
With regard to the CCI-Airport, the measures covered by the opening decision are subsidies received under the national system for financing sovereign tasks in French airports (‘sovereign task subsidies’), various exceptional operating subsidies received from various public authorities and from the CCI’s general arm between 2000 and 2006, repayable advances granted to the CCI-Airport by the CCI’s general arm between 2002 and 2006 (‘repayable advances’), and the alleged non-billing of overheads incurred by the CCI’s general arm specified in the new Guidelines with regard to the compatibility of the operating aid granted to the CCI’s general arm in connection with the operation of the airport during the 2000-2006 period.
Aneks št. 2 torej družbi VTAN ni omogočil gospodarske prednosti in zato ni državna pomoč.
These subsidies were intended to cover the operating deficit resulting from the imbalance between operating costs and revenues generated from making the airport infrastructure available to passengers and airlines.
Predvideno je bilo, da se bodo subvencije za opremo ob izteku prenosa pooblastil prilagodile za uskladitev plačil z dejanskimi stroški družbe VTAN.
As these subsidies were granted after 12 December 2000 and were used to finance the airport’s economic activity, they may, with regard to the concepts of undertaking and economic activity, fall within the scope of the rules on State aid.
Če ne bi bilo aneksa št. 4, bi moral zadevne stroške naložb, ki so bili potrebni zaradi zaprtja vojaške letalske baze, kriti sindikat.
The same is true for the repayable advances, which were also granted after 12 December 2000 and used to ensure the financial stability of the airport’s operating account.
S subvencijami za opremo se tako niso znižali stroški, ki bi običajno bremenili finančna sredstva družbe VTAN.
As regards the alleged non-billing of overheads incurred by the CCI’s general arm in connection with the operation of the airport during the 2000-2006 period, this was an assumption made by the Commission in the opening decision.
Nasprotno, z vidika sindikata je bilo ekonomsko smiselno, da se od družbe VTAN kot upravljavca letališča zahteva izvedba potrebnih naložb, ki so jih opredelile delovne skupine, ki združujejo različne zainteresirane strani, tako da se ji je dodelilo omejeno finančno nadomestilo za nastale stroške, in sicer na podlagi mehanizma prilagoditve ob izteku prenosa pooblastil.
However, as indicated in recital 59, France has provided information showing that, in actual fact, the CCI’s general arm rebilled the CCI-Airport for the part of its overheads attributable to the airport’s activity, based on an objective cost allocation key.
Z operativnega vidika je bilo namreč učinkovito, da se te naložbe izvedejo prek upravljavca letališča.
This conduct is in line with that of an MEO motivated by the prospect of profits in its relations with a subsidiary or division using its general services.
Subvencije za opremo torej družbi VTAN niso omogočile gospodarske prednosti, zato niso državne pomoči.
Consequently, the assumption made in the opening decision concerning the alleged non-billing of certain overheads of the CCI’s general arm is factually incorrect, and the overheads billing system applied by the CCI did not grant any advantage to the CCI-Airport.
Poseben javni prispevek, ki je bil prav tako uveden z aneksom št. 4, je tako kot pavšalni prispevek, določen v prvotni različici SPOJS, subvencija, ki jo je sindikat dodelil brez obetov za dobiček.
