Västerås Airport has served between 113626 and 242376 passengers per year in the period covered by the formal investigation and currently serves ca.
Državna pomoč mora biti usmerjena v primere, ko taka pomoč lahko zagotovi pomembne izboljšave, ki jih trg sam ne more doseči.
273000 passengers per year (figures for 2013).
V zvezi s tem Komisija ugotavlja, da se manjša letališča pri razvijanju svojih storitev in privabljanju zasebnega financiranja pogosto spoprijemajo z manj ugodnimi pogoji kot velika letališča v Uniji.
A significant proportion of air traffic originates from other Member States and there are, and have been, international flights from Västerås to destinations such as London-Stansted, Alicante and Malaga.
Zato imajo lahko manjša letališča pod sedanjimi tržnimi pogoji težave z zagotavljanjem finančnih sredstev za svoje delovanje brez javnega financiranja.
It must be concluded therefore that VFAB operates in a market open to competition on a European scale.
Komisija na podlagi sedanjih tržnih pogojev meni, da:
In light of these facts, it must be considered that public funding to VFAB distorts or threatens to distort competition and has at least a potential effect on trade.
letališča z največ 200000 potniki na leto morda ne bodo zmožna v veliki meri pokriti svojih stroškov poslovanja,
In light of the considerations above, the Commission finds that the public funding granted to VFAB in the form of shareholders' contributions between 2003 and 2010 (Measure 1) constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107 TFEU.
letališča z letnim potniškim prometom med 200000 in 700000 potniki na leto morda ne bodo zmožna pokriti znatnega deleža svojih stroškov poslovanja,
Lawfulness of the aid
letališča z letnim potniškim prometom med 700000 in 1 milijonom potnikov bi na splošno morala biti zmožna pokriti večji delež svojih stroškov poslovanja,
Pursuant to Article 108(3) of the TFEU, 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.
letališča z letnim potniškim prometom med 1 in 3 milijoni potnikov bi v povprečju morala biti zmožna pokriti večino svojih stroškov poslovanja.
As the funds were already put at the disposal of VFAB, the Commission considers that Sweden has not respected the prohibition of Article 108(3) of the TFEU.
Ukrep pomoči se ne šteje za združljivega z notranjim trgom, če je enak cilj mogoče doseči z drugimi, manj izkrivljajočimi instrumenti politik ali instrumenti pomoči.
Compatibility
Obstoj spodbujevalnega učinka (točka 124 letalskih smernic iz leta 2014).
The applicability of the 2014 and 2005 Aviation Guidelines
Pomoč za tekoče poslovanje ima spodbujevalni učinek, če bi se ob njeni odsotnosti in ob upoštevanju možnega obstoja pomoči za naložbe ter ravni prometa raven gospodarske dejavnosti zadevnega letališča verjetno znatno zmanjšala.
Article 107(3) of the TFEU provides for certain exemptions to the general rule set out in Article 107(1) of the TFEU that State aid is not compatible with the internal market.
Sorazmernost zneska pomoči, tj. pomoč, omejena na najmanjšo potrebno (točka 125 letalskih smernic iz leta 2014).
The aid in question can be assessed on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) of the TFEU, which stipulates that:
Da bi bila pomoč za tekoče poslovanje sorazmerna, mora biti omejena na najmanjšo potrebno, da se dejavnost z dodeljeno pomočjo izvede.
‘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.
Izogibanje neupravičenim negativnim učinkom na konkurenco in trgovino (točka 131 letalskih smernic).
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 TFEU.
Komisija bo pri ocenjevanju združljivosti pomoči za tekoče poslovanje upoštevala izkrivljanje konkurence in učinke na trgovino.
According to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, 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.
Kadar je letališče v istem ciljnem območju kot drugo letališče z neizkoriščeno zmogljivostjo, mora poslovni načrt na podlagi preudarnih napovedi glede potniškega in tovornega prometa opredeliti verjetni učinek na promet drugih letališč v tem ciljnem območju.
According to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission considers that the provisions of its 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.
Ocena združljivosti ukrepa 1
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.
Prispevek k natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa
The Commission has already concluded in recitals 136 to 138 that the shareholders' contributions constitute unlawful State aid granted before 4 April 2014.
Pomoč družbi VFAB za tekoče poslovanje je letališču omogočila nadaljnje delovanje in ohranitev rednih zračnih povezav na državni in mednarodni ravni.
In view of the provisions of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines referred to above, the Commission has to determine whether the measure in question constitutes unlawful investment or operating aid.
Leži na gosto naseljenem in gospodarsko uspešnem območju osrednje Švedske.
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”’.
Že leta 1999 je 450000 prebivalcev, tj. okrog 5,5 % celotnega prebivalstva države, živelo na območju, ki je od letališča oddaljeno 45 minut.
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).
Znotraj ciljnega območja letališča, ki ga označuje potovalni čas ene ure, je živel 1 milijon prebivalcev.
Operating aid, on the other hand, relates to 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’.
Po ocenah švedskih organov za zračni promet leta 2000 je bilo okrog 59 % potnikov, ki so potovali z letališč v osrednji švedski regiji (Mälardalsregionen), prebivalcev omenjenega območja.
In light of these definitions, it can be considered that the shareholders' contributions, which were used to cover VFAB's operating losses on a continuous basis, qualify as operating aid in favour of VFAB.
Vendar so najbližja letališča oddaljena več kot 100 kilometrov ali več kot eno uro (z izjemo letališča Bromma, ki je oddaljeno 59 minut vožnje z avtomobilom).
Compatibility of operating aid pursuant to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines
Letališče je ponujalo lete tako na domači ravni (vsaj do leta 2006) in v namembne kraje znotraj EU (npr. v Oslo, Kopenhagen, London) in s tem prispevalo k povečanju mobilnosti državljanov EU in večji dostopnosti z vzpostavitvijo točk za dostop za polete znotraj Unije na osrednji lokaciji gosto poseljene regije.
Section 5.1 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines set out the criteria that the Commission will apply in assessing the compatibility of operating aid with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Te točke za dostop so dopolnjevale ponudbo drugih letališč na obrobjih ciljnega območja (Bromma in Arlanda), saj je zagotavljalo letalske povezave znotraj območja dnevnih migracij, in sicer predvsem na poslovnem modelu (nizkocenovni prevozniki), ki je drugačen od modela, ki sta ga izvajali letališči Bromma in Arlanda.
Notably, pursuant to point 172 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission will apply these criteria to all cases concerning operating aid, including pending notifications and unlawful non-notified aid cases.
Komisija ugotavlja tudi, da je letališče Västerås po ocenah mesta Västerås neposredno in posredno prispevalo k ohranitvi pribl.
Under point 137 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, unlawful operating aid granted before the beginning of the transitional period (including aid paid before 4 April 2014) may be declared compatible with the full extent of uncovered operating costs provided that the following conditions are met:
180 delovnih mest v mestu Västerås.
Contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest (points 113 and 114 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines).
Komisija ugotavlja, da je bila pomoč za tekoče poslovanje namenjena izboljšanju dostopnosti med območjem Västerås in drugimi deli Švedske ter EU in je pripomogla k natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa.
This condition is fulfilled inter alia if the aid increases the mobility of EU citizens and the connectivity of the regions by establishing access points for intra-Union flights or facilitates regional development.
Potreba po posredovanju države
Nevertheless, the duplication of unprofitable airports does not contribute to an objective of common interest.
Kot je navedeno v točki 118 letalskih smernic iz leta 2014, Komisija meni, da se bo pod sedanjimi tržnimi pogoji potreba po javnem financiranju stroškov poslovanja zaradi visokih fiksnih stroškov razlikovala glede na velikost letališča in bo običajno sorazmerno višja za manjša letališča.
Need for state intervention (points 116 to 118 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines).
Komisija meni, da je pod sedanjimi tržnimi pogoji sorazmerno finančno sposobnost preživetja letališč mogoče opredeliti glede na velikost.
The aid should be targeted towards situations where it can bring about a material improvement that the market itself cannot deliver.
Zato po mnenju Komisije letališča z največ 200000 potniki na leto morda ne bodo zmožna v veliki meri pokriti svojih stroškov poslovanja in da letališča z letnim potniškim prometom med 200000 in 700000 potniki na leto morda ne bodo zmožna pokriti znatnega deleža svojih stroškov poslovanja.
In this respect, the Commission has noted the conditions that smaller airports face when developing their services and in attracting private financing are often less favourable than those faced by the major airports in the Union.
Kot je bilo opisano v uvodni izjavi 20, družba VFAB ni bila zmožna pokriti svojih stroškov poslovanja vsaj od leta 1999 in v celotnem obdobju, ki se je ocenjevalo.
Therefore, under present market conditions, smaller airports may have difficulties in ensuring the financing of their operation without public funding.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je število potnikov v obdobju, ki ga je zajela preiskava, znašalo manj kot 200000 na leto, razen leta 2004 (242376 potnikov) in 2005 (221422 potnikov), ko je ostalo nižje od 300000.
Consequently, the Commission considers, under current market conditions, that:
Komisija ugotavlja, da družba VFAB ni bila zmožna v veliki ali vsaj znatni meri pokriti svojih stroškov poslovanja in da je zato obstajala potreba po posredovanju države.
airports up to 200000 passengers per annum may not be able to cover their operating costs to a large extent,
Ustreznost ukrepa pomoči
airports with annual passenger traffic between 200000 and 700000 passengers may not be able to cover their operating costs to a substantial extent,
V sedanjem primeru je bila dejavnost na letališču Västerås ogrožena, ker letališče ni bilo zmožno pokriti svojih stroškov poslovanja.
airports with an annual passenger traffic of 700000 to 1 million should in general be able to cover their operating costs to a greater extent, and
Komisija glede na naravo te težave meni, da noben drug ukrep politike letališču ne bi omogočil nadaljevanja poslovanja.
airports with an annual passenger traffic of 1-3 million should on average be able to cover the majority of their operating costs.
Pomoč za tekoče poslovanje je bila omejena na višino nepokritih izgub iz poslovanja in na najmanjšo potrebno, saj je nadomestila le dejanske izgube.
Appropriateness of State aid as a policy instrument (point 120 of the Aviation Guidelines).
Nadomestilo izgub je torej omejeno na najmanjše potrebno in ne zagotavlja dobička.
The Member States must demonstrate that the aid is appropriate to achieve the intended objective or resolve the problems intended to be addressed by the aid.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega Komisija meni, da je bil ukrep primeren za doseganje želenega cilja skupnega interesa.
An aid measure will not be considered compatible with the internal market if other less distortive policy instruments or aid instruments allow the same objective to be reached.
Spodbujevalni učinek
Existence of incentive effect (point 124 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines).
Pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, dodeljena v preteklosti, je bila namenjena za ohranitev poslovanja letališča.
This condition is fulfilled if it is likely that, in the absence of operating aid, and taking into account the possible presence of investment aid and the level of traffic, the level of economic activity of the airport concerned would be significantly reduced.
Brez pomoči bi se letališče moralo zapreti in ne bi moglo prispevati k lokalni dostopnosti.
Proportionality of the aid amount, i.e. aid limited to the minimum necessary (point 125 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines).
Znesek pomoči je bil omejen na višino dejanskih izgub iz poslovanja, saj je nadomestil le nepokrite izgube iz poslovanja.
In order to be proportionate, operating aid to airports must be limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
Glede na to Komisija meni, da je imel ukrep pomoči spodbujevalni učinek.
Avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade (point 131 of the Aviation Guidelines).
Sorazmernost pomoči (pomoč, omejena na najmanjšo potrebno)
When assessing the compatibility of operating aid the Commission will take account of the distortions of competition and the effects on trade.
Pomoč za tekoče poslovanje mora biti omejena na najmanjšo potrebno, da se dejavnost z dodeljeno pomočjo izvede.
Where an airport is located in the same catchment area as another airport with spare capacity, the business plan, based on sound passenger and freight traffic forecasts, must identify the likely effect on the traffic of the other airports located in that catchment area.
V sedanjem primeru znesek pomoči ni nikoli presegel višine nepokritih izgub iz poslovanja.
Compatibility assessment of Measure 1
Zato Komisija meni, da je bila pomoč za tekoče poslovanje sorazmerna in omejena na najmanjšo potrebno, da se dejavnost z dodeljeno pomočjo izvede.
Contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest
Izogibanje neprimernim negativnim učinkom na konkurenco in trgovino
The operating aid provided to VFAB has served to keep the airport in operation and allow it to maintain regular air connections both domestically and internationally.
Vendar v zvezi z letališčem Bromma Komisija najprej ugotavlja, da je na ekstremni razdalji ciljnega območja letališča Västerås (59 minut vožnje z avtomobilom), kar bi verjetno zmanjšalo možnost za negativne učinke pomoči.
Västerås is Sweden's fifth largest city by population.
Poleg tega Komisija ugotavlja, da so bili poslovni modeli letališča Västerås in Bromma precej različni.
It is located in the densely populated and economically prosperous area of central Sweden.
Västerås se je v obdobju, zajetem v preiskavi, jasno osredotočilo na nizkocenovne prevoznike, pri čemer je razvilo odnos z družbo Ryanair, zato so se postopno ukinili domači leti.
Already in 1999 there were 450000 inhabitants, i.e. about 5,5 % of the country's total population, within 45 minutes' travel time from the airport.
Profil letališča Bromma je bil za razliko osredotočenost na domače lete za osrednje območje Stockholma v kombinaciji z nekaterimi mednarodnimi namembnimi kraji (npr. Bruselj, Helsinki) s tradicionalnimi letalskimi prevozniki, letališče Bromma (izmerjeno glede na število potnikov) pa se je v obdobju, zajetem v preiskavi, močno razvilo, pri čemer se je število potnikov z 981256 leta 2000 povečalo na 2037382 leta 2010 [35].
Within the catchment area of the airport defined by a travel time of one hour there were 1 million inhabitants.
Poleg tega Komisija v zvezi z letališčem Arlanda ugotavlja, da je zunaj ciljnega območja letališča Västerås, kar zmanjšuje morebitne negativne učinke pomoči.
According to estimates by the Swedish air traffic authorities in 2000, about 59 % of the passengers travelling from airports in central Sweden region (Mälardalsregionen) were residents of the area.
V primeru letališča Bromma so takšni negativni učinki poleg tega vsekakor še manj verjetni zaradi dejstva, da je tudi letališče Arlanda imelo precej drugače poslovni model kot letališče Västerås.
However, the closest airports are located at more than 100 kilometres or more than one hour's driving distance (with the exception of Bromma which is at 59 minutes by car).
Letališče Arlanda, ki je glavno letališče v območju glavnega mesta, ponuja veliko število domačih in mednarodnih namembnih krajev, v katere letijo tradicionalni letalski prevozniki.
By offering flights both domestically (at least until 2006) and to destinations within the EU (e.g. Oslo, Copenhagen, London) the airport has therefore contributed to increase mobility of EU citizens and increased accessibility by establishing access points for intra-Union flights at a central location of a densely populated region.
Skromna raven prometa na letališču Västerås pomeni, da je zelo malo verjetno, da je učinek pomoči imel znaten vpliv na poslovanje letališča Arlanda, ki je največje švedsko letališče [36].
These access points complemented the offer of other airports located at the margins of the catchment area (Bromma and Arlanda) as it provided flight connections within a convenient commuting perimeter based mainly on a business model (low-cost carriers) which is different from that pursued by Bromma and Arlanda.
Zato je zelo malo verjetno, da bi pomoč letališču Västerås vodila do potratnega podvajanja ali preusmeritve poslovanja z letališč Bromma ali Arlanda.
The Commission also notes that Västerås Airport has, according to estimates by Västerås City, directly and indirectly contributed to maintaining ca.
Komisija ob upoštevanju navedenega meni, da so neprimerni negativni učinki na konkurenco in trgovino med državami članicami omejeni.
180 jobs in Västerås.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, dodeljena družbi VFAB prek vložkov delničarjev med letoma 2003 in 2010 (ukrep 1), združljiva z notranjim trgom.
Need for state intervention
Komisija je v sklepu o začetku postopka [37] navedla, da obstajajo dokazi, da bi bila najemnina lahko nižja od tržne ravni.
As set out in point 118 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission considers that under current market conditions, the need for public funding to finance operating costs will, due to high fixed costs, vary according to the size of an airport and will normally be proportionately greater for smaller airports.
To je temeljilo zlasti na izjavi v zvezi s tem v notranjem dokumentu mesta Västerås.
The Commission considers that, under current market conditions, the relative financial viability of airports can be identified in relation to the size.
Komisija je nato švedske organe pozvala, naj predložijo pripombe o teh dokazih in tudi o ocenjeni tržni najemnini.
Thus the Commission considers that airports up to 200000 passengers per annum may not be able to cover their operating costs to a large extent and that airports with annual passenger traffic between 200000 and 700000 passengers may not be able to cover their operating costs to a substantial extent.
Na podlagi razpoložljivih dokazov je Komisija kljub temu predhodno menila, da je najemnina za družbo VFAB pomenila prednost.
As shown in recital 20 above, VFAB has been unable to cover its operating costs from at least 1999 and in the whole period under assessment.
Švedska in družba VFAB torej pripomb ne moreta utemeljiti.
The Commission notes that in the period covered by the investigation, the number of passengers has been below 200000 p.a. except for 2004 (242376 passengers) and 2005 (221422 passengers) where it still remained below 300000.
Trdita pa, da bi se morala vsaka ocena tržne najemnine izvesti ob upoštevanju dejstva, da se lastnina v skladu z ustreznimi predpisi načrtovanja lahko uporabi le za letališke dejavnosti, glede na zelo nizko dobičkonosnost dejavnosti pa se zdi, da je sedanja najemnina skladna s trgom.
The Commission finds that VFAB was unable to cover it operating costs to a large or at lease substantial extent and that therefore there was a need for state intervention.
Poleg tega najemna pogodba določa, da se najemnina v primeru novih naložb prilagodi.
Appropriateness of the aid measure
Švedska in družba VFAB trdita, da družba VFAB najemnino določa prosto na podlagi zgolj komercialnih premislekov in da Komisija ni predložila dokazov, da bi se lahko sklep o določitvi najemnine za VFAB pripisal državi.
In the present case, the activity at Västerås Airport was jeopardised by its inability to cover its operating costs.
Komisija v zvezi s tem upošteva argumente Švedske in VFAB, da nizka (dejansko negativna) dobičkonosnost letaliških dejavnosti v mestu Västerås vpliva na višino najemnine, ki se lahko zaračuna.
Given the nature of this problem, the Commission consider that no other policy measure would have allowed the airport to continue its operations.
V zvezi s tem nobena tretja stran ni imela pripomb.
The operating aid was limited to the extent of uncovered operating losses and was limited to the minimum necessary as it only compensated losses that actually occurred.
Formalna preiskava ni predložila informacij, na podlagi katerih bi bilo mogoče sklepati, da je najemnina, ki jo plača VFAB, nižja od tiste, ki bi jo v podobnih okoliščinah zaračunal zasebni najemodajalec.
Hence the compensation of losses is limited to the minimum and does not provide for any profits.
Izjava iz sklepa o začetku postopka torej ni bila dodatno utemeljena.
In view of the above the Commission considers that the measure was appropriate to reach the desired objective of common interest.
Komisija v teh okoliščinah ugotavlja, da za predhodne dokaze o prednosti za družbo VFAB ni dokazov.
Incentive effect
Komisija ne more sklepati, da je bila državna pomoč dodeljena na podlagi neutemeljenih domnev.
The operating aid granted in the past served to maintain the airport operational.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da ukrep 2, tj. najemnina, ki jo je družba VFAB plačala družbi Västerås Flygfastigheter AB za uporabo letališke infrastrukture, ne pomeni državne pomoči.
Without the aid, the airport would have to close down and it would not have been able to contribute to local accessibility.
OPERATIVNA POMOČ, DODELJENA DRUŽBI V OKVIRU LOKALNE LETALIŠKE SHEME V OBDOBJU 2001–2010
In view of this, the Commission considers that the aid measure had an incentive effect.
Od leta 2007 je pravna podlaga za podporo uredba (2006:1577) o operativni podpori za nedržavna letališča.
Proportionality of the aid (aid limited to the minimum)
Leta 2005 je skupni proračun podpore znašal 103 milijonov SEK, zagotovil pa se je 22 letališčem na Švedskem.
Operating aid must be limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
V obdobju, ko je država prek družbe LFH Holding imela v lasti 40 % delnic v družbi VFAB, se je operativna podpora ustrezno zmanjšala za 40 %.
