The losses were incurred despite the fact that the lease paid by FSBG in those years was lower than the lease paid under the 1997 contract (see Table 7).
I–43.
It can hence be assumed that the aid involved in the 2006 contract had an incentive effect and did not exceed the amount required to cover operating losses and thus was limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.

By providing air transportation services, airlines are performing an economic activity and therefore constitute undertakings within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Odločba Komisije N 309/02 z dne 19. marca 2003.
It must be analysed whether the arrangements between the airlines and the airport in question granted the former an economic advantage.
Glej zlasti zadevi C–364/92, SAT proti Eurocontrol, Recueil 1994, str.
Where an airport has public resources at its disposal, aid to an airline can, in principle, be excluded where the relationship between the airport and the airline satisfies the MEO test.
I–43, točka 30, in C–113/07 P, Selex Sistemi Integrati proti Komisiji, ZOdl.
The existence of an advantage can normally be excluded if: (a) the price charged for the services corresponds to the market price; or (b) it can be demonstrated through an ex ante analysis that the airport/airline arrangement will lead to a positive incremental profit contribution for the airport and is part of an overall strategy leading to profitability in the long term.
2009, str.
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 should be taken into consideration together with airport charges, net of any rebates, marketing support or incentive schemes.
I–2207, točka 71.
Similarly, all expected costs incrementally incurred by the airport in relation to the airline’s activity at the airport must be taken into account.
Ukrepi v skladu s členom 8 Luftsicherheitsgesetz vključujejo med drugim izgradnjo letališke infrastrukture, ki omogoča zadostne kontrole varnosti; nekatere ukrepe v zvezi s prtljago in tovorom; zavarovanje območij omejenega gibanja; nadzor nad osebjem in blagom, ki vstopa na območja omejenega gibanja; usposabljanje varnostnega osebja; odstranitev in izpraznitev zrakoplovov, ki pomenijo grožnje za varnost.
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.
Člen 27(d)(1) Luftverkehrsgesetz: „Flugsicherungsdienste und die dazu erforderlichen flugsicherungstechnischen Einrichtungen werden an den Flugplätzen vorgehalten, bei denen das Bundesministerium für Verkehr, Bau und Stadtentwicklung einen Bedarf aus Gründen der Sicherheit und aus verkehrspolitischen Interessen anerkennt.“
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.
Zadeva C–482/99, Francija proti Komisiji (v nadaljnjem besedilu: sodba Stardust Marine), Recueil 2002, str.
In addition, the airport infrastructure must be open to all airlines and not dedicated to a specific airline in order to exclude that the advantage resulting from compatible aid to the airport operator is not passed on to a specific airline.
I–4397.
Against this background, the Commission will asses the overall scheme of airport charges applicable at Saarbrücken Airport as well as the individual contracts between airlines and Saarbrücken Airport which deviate from or are outside the scope of the scheme of airport charges.

On 1 April 2007, a new schedule of charges was introduced at Saarbrücken Airport (2007 schedule of charges).

This schedule envisaged discounts for airlines fulfilling certain conditions.

Saarbrücken Airport adopted a new schedule of charges which entered into force on 1 September 2013, replacing the 2007 schedule of charges.

Zadeva C–482/99, Francija proti Komisiji (sodba Stardust Marine), Recueil 2002, str.
When applying the MEO test to the measure at stake, the Commission first has to determine whether the price charged corresponds to a market price.
I–4397, točka 69.
For this, the Commission has doubts that at the present time, an appropriate benchmark can be identified to establish a true market price for services provided by airports.
Zadevi C–305/89, Italija proti Komisiji (v nadaljnjem besedilu: sodba Alfa Romeo), Recueil 1991, str.
In the absence of an identifiable market benchmark, the Commission has to assess the ex ante incremental profitability of the 2007 schedule of charges.
I–1603, in T–296/97, Alitalia proti Komisiji, Recueil 2000, str.
The 2007 schedule of charge was introduced to enhance the competitiveness of Saarbrücken Airport.

When drawing up the 2007 schedule of charges, the operator of Saarbrücken Airport analysed passenger numbers, airport movements as well as the financial results of the years 1997–2006.
Zadeva 40/85, Belgija proti Komisiji, Recueil 1986, str.
According to Germany, a market analysis undertaken at that time showed that Saarbrücken was one of the most expensive airports in Germany.

The Commission observes that TUIFly left Saarbrücken as from late 2006.
Zadeva C–482/99, Francija proti Komisiji, Recueil 2002, str.
In addition, Saarbrücken Airport faced new competition from Zweibrücken after 2006.
I–04397.
All these factors together led Saarbrücken Airport to reconsider its pricing policy and to introduce a revised schedule of charges offering incentives in form of discounts in order to ensure its future viability and profitability.

While, according to the available information, no ex ante profitability studies have been prepared for the 2007 schedule of charges, Germany has submitted that Saarbrücken Airport expected that virtually no additional investments would be required to provide additional airport services to airlines and that no additional operating costs would arise.
Zadeva C–280/00, Altmark Trans GmbH in Regierungspräsidium Magdeburg proti Nahverkehrsgesellschaft Altmark GmbH, Recueil 2003, str.
Therefore, in Germany’s view no ex ante profitability study was necessary.

Hence, the incremental costs were limited to the incentives offered.
Glej UL L 219, 24.8.2007, str. 9, uvodna izjava 111 in naslednje.
In this context, the Commission observes that the 2007 schedule of charges indeed offered discounts only for new airlines, new connections, or increased passenger numbers with the consequence that it did not impact negatively on the status quo at the airport.
Zadeva T–214/95, Het Vlaamse Gewest proti Komisiji, Recueil 1998, str.
The Commission observes that before the introduction of the 2007 schedule of charges, Saarbrücken airport’s capacity was utilised only at 50 %.
II–717.
Indeed, passenger numbers decreased from 487 000 in 2005 to 350 000 in 2007, whereas the airports potential annual capacity would have been 700 000 passengers per annum.
Glej Sklep Komisije z dne 1. oktobra 2014 o državni pomoči SA.27339 – Nemčija – Letališče Zweibrücken, še neobjavljen v UL.
The Commission notes that after the departure of TUIFly Saarbrücken Airport had spare capacities, with the consequence that additional traffic could be handled without the need to upgrade infrastructure or acquire additional equipment or hire new staff.
Družba Fraport AG je imela 51–odstotni delež v družbi FSBG do 30. junija 2007.
Germany confirmed that there was no need to hire new staff or to expand existing infrastructure or other equipment in order to serve new airlines or connections (for instance the existing baggage belts and personnel were sufficient).
Mai 2003, Ministerium für Wirtschaft, Verkehr, Landwirtschaft und Weinbau, 15. maj 2003.
With any new airline or connection, aeronautical as well as non–aeronautical revenues would be generated.
Einschätzung der rheinland–pfälzischen Innenministeriums, 15. maj 2003.
Given that the level of costs remained stable, any new airline or connection would, according to Germany, provide a positive contribution to the airport’s profitability.
Uredba Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 z dne 22. marca 1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 108 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije (UL L 83, 27.3.1999, str. 1).
The fact that Saarbrücken indeed managed to attract a number of new airlines (such as Air Berlin, which started operating from Saarbrücken in late 2007) and to establish new connections after the introduction of the 2007 schedule of charges also indicates that the discount–based strategy to increase its business was successful.
Zadeva T–109/01, Fleuren Compost proti Komisiji, Recueil 2004, str.
The available data finally demonstrates that the 2007 schedule of charges resulted in a gradual increase of revenue for the airport (from […] in 2007 to […] in 2010).
II–127.
The Commission further notes that when assessing airport/airline arrangements, it should also assess the extent to which the arrangements can be considered part of the implementation of an overall strategy of the airport to lead to profitability at least in the long term.
UL C 119, 22.5.2002, str. 22.
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 2007 schedule of charges was made, in particular the prevailing market conditions, notably the market changes induced by the liberalisation in the air transport market, the market entry and development of low cost carriers and other point–to–point carriers, changes in the organisational and economic structure of the airport industry as well as the degree of diversification and complexity of the functions undertaken by airports, the enhancement of the competition between airlines and airports, the uncertain economic environment due to the changes in the prevailing market conditions or any other uncertainty in the economic environment have to be taken into account.
Točka 173 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014.
In the light of these considerations, accepting that an increase in activity resulted in virtually no incremental costs but could be expected to create incremental revenue, the Commission accepts that in adopting the 2007 schedule of charges and the discounts contained therein, Saarbrücken Airport acted like a MEO.
Izražene v dobičku pred obrestmi, davki in amortizacijo (v nadaljnjem besedilu: EBITDA).
Therefore, the measure did not grant the affected airlines any economic advantage.
Vendar natančni podatki o stroških, povezanih s področjem javne politike v letih 2000–2012, niso na voljo.
Marketing agreement with Air Berlin
Komisija ugotavlja, da ni na voljo natančnih podatkov o stroških, ki spadajo na področje javne politike.
In the contract concluded between Air Berlin and Saarbrücken Airport on 6 April 2011, the two parties agreed that Air Berlin would increase the frequency of its flights to and from Berlin by an additional five return–flights per week, and the frequency of its flights to and from […] by an additional three return–flights per week until the end of April 2014.
Zato ne more določiti natančnega zneska pomoči za naložbe, dodeljenega družbi FSBesitzG/FSG.
In return for this frequency increase and the commitment from Air Berlin that it would advertise the new frequency, Saarbrücken Airport committed to paying a total of [EUR 800 000–EUR 1 700 000] to Air Berlin in 2011 and 2012.

It was submitted that apart from the direct marketing payments, the increased frequency would not cause any additional costs for the airport, which according to Germany could handle the additional traffic on the basis of the existing infrastructure and personnel.

While the ex ante analysis undertaken by FSG and submitted by Germany did not discount the future payments to the date on which the contract was concluded, it is clear that the contract was expected to be profitable.
Točki 125 in 137 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014.
Germany confirmed that to date, the increased frequency as foreseen by the marketing agreement has not required to hire new staff or to make specific investments: Overall, the Airport’s expectations were to a large extent met and the contract has been profitable.
Točki 131 in 137 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014.
In this context, Germany provided a projection for the duration of the contract, based on the profits made in the first 8 months of the contract period (from April 2011–January 2012), according to which the contract appears to be profitable.

Having analysed the contract and the expectations of FSG at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the Commission is satisfied that the contract contributed to the profitability of Saarbrücken Airport, in that the expected incremental revenues were higher than the expected incremental costs.
Glej člen 10, točka (i), statuta družbe FSBesitzG, v skladu s katerim je moral vsako spremembo najemne pogodbe med družbama FSBesitzG in FSBG odobriti nadzorni odbor družbe FSBesitzG.
As the contract thus complied with the MEO principle, it did not grant Air Berlin an advantage.
Dodatni stroški, predstavljeni v preglednici 10, se nanašajo na plačila za trženje.
Having found that the 2007 schedule of charges and the discounts contained therein as well as the 2011 marketing agreement between Air Berlin and Saarbrücken Airport did not grant the respective airlines an advantage, the other criteria for the existence of aid do not need to be assessed.
Komisar Antonio Tajani je na parlamentarno vprašanje odgovoril 5. septembra 2008.
It can be concluded that no State aid was granted to the airlines in question.
Poleg tega je bilo vprašanje evidentirano kot pritožba z oznako CP 171/2008.
The Commission observes that Cirrus Airlines, which received direct payments from FSBesitzG in 2005 and 2006, filed for insolvency in January 2012; the insolvency procedure was opened in April 2012.
Komisija je Nemčijo za dodatne informacije zaprosila 31. julija 2008, 24. septembra 2010, 24. marca 2011 in 8. avgusta 2011.
As a consequence, Cirrus Airline has ceased its economic activity.
Nemčija je na te zahteve odgovorila in dodatne informacije predložila 4. novembra 2008, 17. januarja 2011, 14. junija 2011 in 7. oktobra 2011.
As the outcome of the insolvency proceedings is not clear, the Commission is for the moment not in a position to take a view as to whether the investigation concerning the payments to Cirrus Airlines might have become devoid of purpose.
Nemčiji jih je posredovala 1. oktobra 2012 in ji omogočila, da nanje odgovori v enem mesecu; Nemčija je pripombe poslala z dopisom z dne 29. oktobra 2012.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that the financing of FSBesitzG/FSG by way of capital injection to cover the losses in the years 2000–2012 constitutes State aid in so far as it was related to activities outside the public policy remit.
Komisija je po začetku formalnega postopka preiskave 24. februarja 2012, 23. aprila 2012, 16. oktobra 2012, 26. novembra 2013 in 14. marca 2014 zahtevala dodatne informacije.
The aid constitutes new aid from 1 June 2007 onwards.
Nemčija je na te zahteve odgovorila in dodatne informacije predložila 17. aprila 2012, 4. maja 2012, 14. decembra 2012, 14. januarja 2014 in 3. aprila 2014.
Part of the aid is compatible investment aid pursuant to the 2005 Aviation Guidelines and part of the aid is compatible operating aid pursuant to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines.
Smernice za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 so bile v Uradnem listu Evropske unije objavljene 4. aprila 2014 [6].
The Commission further concludes that the capital injections granted to vh Saar do not constitute State aid as vh Saar passed on all the public funds received and therefore did not itself obtain an economic advantage.
Z njimi so bile nadomeščene smernice za letalski sektor iz leta 2005 [7].
The transfer of plots of land without a remuneration or at a price below the market price in the years 2002, 2003 and 2004 constitutes State aid in so far as it was related to activities outside the public policy remit.
Leta 1999 se je začela gradnja novega terminala, za katero je bila potrebna naložba približno 11,8 milijona EUR.
The aid is compatible as investment aid pursuant to the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
Novi terminal, ki je bil glede na javno razpoložljive informacije projektiran za do 800 000 potnikov na leto, je bil odprt maja 2005.
The guarantees on loans were all granted before the year 2000 and therefore do not constitute State aid.
Vendar Nemčija glede na omejitve, ki izhajajo iz varnostne infrastrukture, trdi, da je dejanska zmogljivost letališča samo 700 000 potnikov na leto.
The advantage contained in the comfort letters, if any, was passed on from vh Saar to FSBesitzG/FSG.
Na začetku leta 2008 sta se družbi združili in ponovno ustanovili družbo Flughafen Saarbrücken GmbH (v nadaljnjem besedilu: družba FSG) ter tako v bistvu znova ustvarili položaj, kot je obstajal pred delno privatizacijo prek družbe Fraport AG leta 1997.
The 2006 lease contract involved State aid for FSBG, which is compatible operating aid pursuant to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines.
Od leta 2008 je družba FSG v 100–odstotni lasti družbe vh Saar.
No State aid was granted to airlines through the 2007 schedule of charges and the marketing agreement with Air Berlin.
Družbo vh Saar je leta 1996 ustanovilo ministrstvo za gospodarstvo in finance zvezne dežele Posarje.
The start–up aid in favour of Cirrus Airline is not subject to the present Decision.
Njen namen je „usklajevanje dejavnosti pri gradnji, širitvi in upravljanju javnih letališč in pristanišč v zvezni deželi Posarje“.
Finally, the Commission notes that on 17 June 2014, Germany informed the Commission that it exceptionally accepts that this decision is adopted in the English language,
Družba FSBG je bila ustanovljena 4. julija 1997.
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Njen namen je bil upravljanje letališča Saarbrücken.
Article 1
Družba FSG je bila ustanovljena 30. avgusta 2008.
The State aid which Germany has implemented for Saarbrücken Airport is compatible with the internal market within the meaning of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union.
Njen namen je upravljanje letališča Saarbrücken za civilno letalstvo in opravljanje s tem povezanih stranskih dejavnosti.
The measures which Germany has implemented for airlines (2007 schedule of charges, marketing agreement with Air Berlin) do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Pogodba o prenosu dobička in izgube je bila 1. januarja 1997 prvotno sklenjena med družbo vh Saar in pravno predhodnico družbe FSBesitzG, tj. družbo FSG.
Article 2
Po ponovni ustanovitvi družbe FSG je ta v pogodbah nasledila družbo FSBesitzG.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.
Družba FSBG, ki je bila do leta 2008 pravno ločena od družbe FSBesitzG, je do leta 2006 redno ustvarjala dobiček.
Done at Brussels, 1 October 2014.
Ta se je bodisi razdelil med delničarje (do 30. junija 2007 družbi FSBesitzG in Fraport AG) in se v takem primeru v bilancah stanja delničarjev vodil kot prihodek v naslednjem letu bodisi se je ponovno vložil.
Vice–President
V navedenem letu je bilo na letališču Saarbrücken 395 000 potnikov, to število pa je še naprej naraščalo do leta 2000, ko je bilo potnikov 484 566.
With effect from 1 December 2009, Articles 87, and 88 of the EC Treaty have become Articles 107 and 108, respectively, of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
V sklepu o začetku postopka je bilo najprej obravnavano, ali bi bilo mogoče financiranje letališča šteti za združljivo pomoč na podlagi odločbe SSGP iz leta 2005 [18].
The two sets of Articles are in substance identical.
Navedeno je bilo, da niso bile predložene informacije, iz katerih bi bilo razvidno, da bi bila regija, v kateri je letališče, brez njega tako izolirana, da bi to škodovalo njenemu družbenemu in gospodarskemu razvoju.
For the purposes of this Decision references to Articles 107 and 108 TFEU should be understood as references to Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty when appropriate.
Preučeno je bilo tudi, ali so bili izpolnjeni pogoji iz oddelka 4.2 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2005.
The TFEU also introduced certain changes in terminology, such as the replacement of ‘Community’ by ‘Union’ and ‘common market’ by ‘internal market’.
Navedeni pogoji so podobni pogojem iz odločbe SSGP iz leta 2005.
The terminology of the TFEU will be used throughout this Decision.
Zaradi neobstoja ustreznega akta o pooblastitvi in neobstoja določb o omejitvi financiranja na osnovne dejavnosti letališča, med drugim, je bila sprejeta predhodna ugotovitev, da financiranja ni mogoče šteti za združljivo na podlagi oddelka 4.2 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2005.
OJ C 213, 19.7.2012, p. 1.
V sklepu o začetku postopka je bilo nadalje preučeno, ali bi bilo mogoče financiranje šteti za združljivo na podlagi oddelka 4.1 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2005.
E–3778/08, 8 July 2008.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da pogodba o prenosu dobička in izgube ni bila posebej namenjena financiranju naložb v infrastrukturo, ampak je preprosto zajemala vse izgube, izhajajoče iz dejavnosti letališča.
Cf. footnote 2.
Nemčija je od leta 1998 na letališče prenesla različna zemljišča, katerih skupna vrednost je bila po navedbah Nemčije 240 000 EUR.
