In response to this invitation, France provided a reconstruction of the projected incremental costs and revenues associated with each agreement signed with Ryanair and AMS.
[200–250]
With regard to the CCI operating period, this analysis is mainly based on ex post data, i.e. data observed after the agreements were signed.
[350–400]
As a result, the method used by France involved calculating the average unit costs and revenues per passenger based on the airport’s operating costs and revenues observed during the 2000-2006 period.
[150–200]
In its analysis of each agreement, France multiplied these data by the projected incremental traffic for each agreement, i.e. the traffic that, on the signature of the agreement, this could be expected to generate.
Pristajalna pristojbina
As this analysis is mainly based on cost and revenue data observed after the various agreements were signed, and not necessarily on information foreseeable at the time when the agreements were signed, this method cannot reflect the profitability analysis that an MEO would have carried out before deciding whether to enter into these agreements.
Potniška pristojbina
Moreover, as regards the costs, the method used by France is in fact based on the full unit costs, i.e. all the airport’s operating costs per passenger, instead of the incremental costs, i.e. the costs specifically generated by each agreement.

However, the incremental costs may differ from the full unit costs and, as a general rule, are markedly lower, given the high proportion of fixed costs at an airport.

The use of full unit costs is therefore a second weakness in the method proposed by France.
Prihodki iz neletalskih dejavnosti
It also clearly reduces the profitability of certain agreements, thus penalising the airlines concerned.
Prihodki skupaj
Consequently, the Commission has carried out its own analysis by reconstructing the incremental costs and revenues of the various agreements, as an MEO would have calculated them ex ante, in order to apply the MEO test.
Stroški poslovanja (osebje, razni nakupi itd.)
The assumptions made and the results of the analysis are presented below.
Stroški trženja
Time frame
Stroški skupaj
When assessing the value in entering into an airport services agreement and/or a marketing services agreement, an MEO would have chosen the term of the agreement or agreements as the time frame of its assessment.
Dodatni tokovi (prihodki minus stroški)
There does not seem to be any justification for choosing a longer period.
[100000–150000]
On the dates when the agreements were signed, a prudent MEO would not have relied on these agreements being renewed on their expiry, whether under the same terms or under different terms, particularly as low-cost airlines such as Ryanair were and are known to be very dynamic in terms of launching and withdrawing routes, or even increasing and reducing frequencies.
[150000–200000]
Furthermore, it should be noted that, for certain agreements, the effective start date of the activities covered by the agreement was not the date of signature of the agreement.
Iz razpredelnice 6 v prejšnji uvodni izjavi je razvidno, da bi udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu vsako leto do izteka pogodbe iz leta 2000 pričakoval pozitivne dodatne letne tokove in torej pozitivno dodatno donosnost.
In this case, it is the effective start date that has been used as the starting point, and not the date of signature.
Poleg tega je družba Air France leta 2000 še vedno opravljala redne odhodne lete z letališča Nîmes.
It should also be noted that, in applying the MEO test, the fact that Ryanair did not operate certain routes throughout the entire period stipulated in certain agreements has not been taken into account as this factor was neither known nor foreseeable at the time when the agreements were signed.
Po navedbah Francije je zbornica takrat poskusila povečati raznolikost komercialne dejavnosti letališča in je v okviru tega začela posvetovanja z več nizkocenovnimi prevozniki, še prej pa je analizirala tudi dejavnosti prevoza tovora in čarterskih letov.
The Commission will now describe the assumptions used to analyse the agreements signed with Ryanair/AMS in terms of incremental traffic, costs and revenues, before presenting the results of this analysis.
Komisija v tem okviru meni, da se lahko sklenitev sporazuma z dne 11. aprila 2000 šteje za del splošne strategije zbornice, ki naj bi vsaj dolgoročno omogočila donosnost letališča.
The analysis conducted by the Commission is based on the incremental traffic (i.e. the number of additional passengers) that an MEO operating Nîmes airport in place of the Operators could have predicted when the agreements were signed.
Izmenjave dopisov od konca leta 2001 do začetka leta 2002
With regard to the 2000 agreement for example, this involves determining the number of passengers that the Nîmes airport operator could have expected, in 2000, to use the Nîmes-London route operated by Ryanair, over the term of the agreement.
Sporazum z dne 11. aprila 2000 je bil spremenjen z izmenjanimi dopisi med zbornico in družbo Ryanair z dne 28. novembra 2001, 11., 18., 21. in 24. decembra 2001 ter 2., 5. in 15. februarja 2002 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: dopisi, izmenjani od konca leta 2001 do začetka leta 2002).
The projected incremental traffic has been determined based on the number of routes and frequencies stipulated in the various airport services agreements and marketing services agreements, and on the resulting number of annual rotations.
Iz teh izmenjanih dopisov in pojasnil, ki jih je v zvezi z njimi navedla Francija, je razvidno, da gre pri teh izmenjavah za transakcijo, ki je vključevala spremembo sporazuma z dne 11. aprila 2000 z zvišanjem plačil za trženje za […] FRF (to je […] EUR) na potnika na odhodnem letu od 1. januarja 2002 do izteka veljavnosti sporazuma in z nadaljnjim zvišanjem teh plačil za dodatni znesek […] FRF (to je […] EUR) na potnika na odhodnem letu v obdobju od 29. aprila do 31. oktobra 2002 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: poletna sezona 2002), če družba Ryanair v navedenem obdobju uvede dodaten vsakodnevni let na svoji ruti v London.
Furthermore, the Commission has taken into account the capacity of the aircraft used by Ryanair, namely, according to the agreements, the Boeing 737-200, the Boeing 737-300 and the Boeing 737-800.
Po navedbah Francije še en dodaten let pomeni 185 morebitnih dodatnih letov v poletni sezoni 2002, kar bi lahko glede na letalo, namenjeno prevozu 148 potnikov, in 75-odstotni koeficient zasedenosti, ki je bolj ali manj enak predhodno ustvarjenemu prometu, povzročilo dodatni promet, ocenjen na 41070 potnikov.
With regard to the agreements signed from October 2005, which included marketing services provided by AMS, the Commission has assumed a load factor of 85 % per flight, which is favourable to Ryanair because 85 % is a high load factor.
Predpostavka 75-odstotnega faktorja zasedenosti se zdi razumna, saj ustreza prometu, ustvarjenemu v predhodnem obdobju, poleg tega pa z dopisi, izmenjanimi od konca leta 2001 do začetka leta 2002, niso bili predvideni dodatni tržni ukrepi družbe Ryanair ali zbornice, na podlagi katerih bi se lahko promet bistveno povečal.
This is also slightly above the average load factor for flights operated by Ryanair on its network, and equal to or above the load factor proposed by France for the various agreements in its reconstruction of the profitability analyses.
Ta dodatni promet, ki ustreza uvedbi dodatnega leta v poletni sezoni 2002, je edini dodatni promet, povezan z dopisi, izmenjanimi od konca leta 2001 do začetka leta 2002, saj z njimi ni bilo predvideno, da se bo zunaj poletne sezone 2002 spremenila pogostost vsakodnevnih letov, ki je v sporazumu z dne 11. aprila 2000 določena za ruto Nîmes-London.
However, the Commission takes the view that this high load factor can be used, even if it is a favourable assumption, in order to reflect a possible beneficial effect of the marketing services on passenger traffic on the air routes covered by the various agreements, and in the absence of other information quantifying the foreseeable impact of these services on the load factor.
Komisija je tako na podlagi zgoraj opisanih načel v svojo analizo vključila ta dodatni promet ter z njim povezane dodatne prihodke in dodatne stroške poslovanja.
On the other hand, for the agreements signed before October 2005, the Commission has used lower load factors.
Rezultati te analize so prikazani v razpredelnici 7, ki je navedena v tej uvodni izjavi.
The assumptions made in this regard are detailed below, in the analysis of each of the agreements in question.
Razpredelnica 7
It should be noted in this respect that the April 2000 agreement and its various amendments did not provide for marketing services to be carried out by Ryanair or its subsidiaries, but rather public relations activities with a limited scope (distribution of press releases, organisation of press conferences, etc.) that were the responsibility of the CCI.
Končni rezultat ponovno pripravljene predhodne analize donosnosti iz dopisov, izmenjanih od konca leta 2001 do začetka leta 2002
Some agreements contained indications as to the number of passengers expected on the routes covered.
Izmenjani dopisi iz leta 2004
However, as these indications were not binding, they would not necessarily have been taken into account by a prudent MEO in its profitability analysis.
Pogoji sporazuma z dne 11. aprila 2000 so bili spremenjeni še enkrat, vendar tokrat za bolj omejeno obdobje, in sicer z izmenjavami dopisov in elektronskih sporočil z dne 10. in 16. marca 2004 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: izmenjani dopisi iz leta 2004).
The Commission has therefore ignored them and used the assumption of an 85 % load factor for all the agreements signed from 2005 (which is higher than these indications).
Iz teh izmenjanih dopisov in pojasnil, ki jih je Francija predložila v zvezi z njimi, je razvidno, da so te izmenjave privedle do spremembe sporazuma z dne 11. aprila 2000 z zvišanjem plačil za trženje za […] EUR na potnika na odhodnem letu v obdobju od 29. aprila do 31. oktobra 2004 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: poletna sezona 2004), če družba Ryanair v navedenem obdobju uvede dodaten vsakodnevni let na svoji ruti v London.
Furthermore, some agreements contained a commitment by the airline with regard to the minimum number of passengers to be carried on the routes concerned.
Po navedbah Francije še en dodaten let pomeni 185 morebitnih dodatnih letov v poletni sezoni 2004, kar bi lahko glede na letalo, namenjeno prevozu 148 potnikov, in 75-odstotni koeficient zasedenosti pomenilo dodatni promet, ocenjen na 41070 potnikov.
However, an MEO would have probably banked on a number of passengers higher than the minimum guaranteed by the airline.
Predpostavka 75-odstotnega faktorja zasedenosti, ki jo je predlagala Francija, se zdi razumna, saj v izmenjanih dopisih iz leta 2004 niso bili predvideni dodatni tržni ukrepi družbe Ryanair ali zbornice, na podlagi katerih bi se lahko promet bistveno povečal v primerjavi s predhodno ustvarjenim prometom.
In fact, an MEO would have probably assumed that the airline had allowed for a safety margin between the traffic level to which it had committed and the traffic that it was reasonable to expect.
Kar zadeva dodatne stroške trženja, je Komisija v svojo analizo vključila enkratno povečanje, ki je bilo za poletno sezono 2004 predvideno za vse potnike (in ne samo za potnike na dodatnih letih).
The Commission has therefore decided to ignore these compulsory minima in its assessment.
Rezultati te analize so prikazani v razpredelnici 8, ki je navedena v tej uvodni izjavi.
These minima are generally lower than the incremental traffic assumptions used by the Commission.
Razpredelnica 8
Incremental revenues (agreements signed with Ryanair and AMS)
Končni rezultat ponovno pripravljene predhodne analize donosnosti iz izmenjanih dopisov iz leta 2004
For each transaction covered by its analysis, the Commission has sought to determine the incremental revenues, i.e. the revenues generated by the transaction, as an MEO would have predicted them.
Pogodbi iz leta 2005
Applying the ‘single-till’ principle, the Commission takes the view that both aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues should be taken into account.
Družba Ryanair se je s pogodbo o letaliških storitvah z dne 10. oktobra 2005 in pogodbo o tržnih storitvah, sklenjeno na isti dan (v nadaljnjem besedilu: pogodbi iz leta 2005), zavezala, da bo:
Aeronautical revenue consists of the proceeds from the various charges to be paid by the airline to the airport operator, namely:
šest mesecev opravljala vsakodnevni let na ruti v London, ki naj bi se mu dodal še en vsakodnevni let v poletni sezoni 2005,
the ‘landing charge’, which is a fixed amount per rotation,
ruti v Liverpool s štirimi leti na teden,
the ‘passenger charge’, which is a fixed amount per outbound passenger,
od konca marca 2006 opravljala lete še na tretji ruti, katere uvedba naj bi bila napovedana pred koncem leta 2005, kar naj bi pomenilo vsaj [0–50000] potnikov na odhodnih letih na leto,
the charge paid for ground handling services, which takes the form of an amount per rotation set in the various airport services agreements.
od konca aprila 2006 opravljala lete še na četrti ruti, katere uvedba naj bi bila napovedana pred koncem leta 2005, kar naj bi pomenilo vsaj [0-50000] potnikov na odhodnih letih na leto.
The landing charge and passenger charge applied by the Operators are in principle regulated charges for access to the airport infrastructure, which are set for all user airlines following a process of consultation and which are published.
Ti pogodbi sta nadomestili sporazum z dne 11. aprila 2000, ki je bil tako razveljavljen pred prvotnim iztekom veljavnosti, pri čemer so bili določeni popolnoma drugačni pogodbeni pogoji.
For these various agreements, the Commission has used, as projected unit amounts of the landing charge and passenger charge, the public charges in force when the agreements were signed, taking into account the information in the agreements on the method for calculating the charges applicable to Ryanair, plus indexation of 2 % per year in so far as it was reasonable to predict that the regulated charges would increase each year in line with inflation.
V preambuli pogodbe o letaliških storitvah iz leta 2005 je navedeno, da družba Ryanair po „preudarnem poskusnem opravljanju letov“ na vsakodnevni ruti v London namerava uvesti stalno dejavnost na letališču Nîmes in povečati število rut z odhodnimi leti s tega letališča, „če bodo tehnični in finančni pogoji, ki jih je predlagala [zbornica], sprejemljivi, tako da bo opravljanje letov na rutah postalo donosno“ (krepki tisk je dodan).
The system of regulated airport charges does not provide for automatic indexation, but allows operators to adapt charges over time following a consultation process.
Ta odlomek kaže, da bi družba Ryanair zbornici, če ta ne bi sprejela pogojev pogodb iz leta 2005, zagrozila z ukinitvijo vseh svojih dejavnosti odhodnih letov z letališča Nîmes, ker opravljanje letov na ruti v London ni bilo ekonomsko donosno.
When the various agreements in question were signed, it was not therefore possible to predict with any certainty the future development of these regulated charges.
Preudaren udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu bi to grožnjo nedvomno vzel resno, zlasti ker sporazum iz aprila 2000 ni vseboval jasne in nepreklicne zaveze družbe Ryanair, da bo opravljala lete na ruti v London deset let, kot je bilo predvideno s sporazumom.
Under these circumstances, the Commission takes the view that an MEO would have simply and logically assumed that the charges would increase each year in line with inflation, by using an inflation rate of 2 %, which is the target rate of the European Central Bank (‘ECB’) for the euro area.
Preudaren udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu, ki bi deloval namesto zbornice, bi tako najverjetneje menil, da bo družba Ryanair, če ne bo sklenil zadevnih pogodb, ukinila vse svoje dejavnosti opravljanja odhodnih letov z letališča Nîmes.
The charge for ground handling services is not regulated, but is negotiated bilaterally.
Dodatni promet, povezan s pogodbama iz leta 2005, torej ustreza pričakovanemu prometu na vseh rutah in letih, navedenih v teh pogodbah.
In the various airport services agreements signed with Ryanair, this charge takes the form of a fixed amount per rotation, without any indexation, except in those cases where this charge is not stipulated.
Za vsako od teh rut se je iz zgoraj navedenih razlogov, zlasti glede na tržne storitve, ki jih je ponujala družba Ryanair, uporabil 85-odstotni faktor zasedenosti.
The amount resulting from each agreement has therefore been used by the Commission in its analysis.
Ker pogostost letov na tretji in četrti ruti ob sklenitvi pogodb še nista bili znani, ju je Komisija določila sorazmerno glede na minimalno število potnikov, h kateremu se je družba Ryanair zavezala v pogodbah iz leta 2005, da bi oblikovala predpostavke, iz katerih bi izhajal preudaren udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu.
In order to calculate the proceeds from the three airport charges, which an MEO would have expected from each agreement, the Commission has used the forecasts of the number of rotations (for the landing charge and for the charge for ground handling services) and additional traffic (for the passenger charge), determined for each agreement, and has multiplied these by the unit charge, as determined above.
Komisija je tako na podlagi zgoraj opisanih načel v svojo analizo vključila ta dodatni promet ter z njim povezane dodatne prihodke in stroške.
For the non-aeronautical revenue, with regard to the agreements signed by VTAN, the Commission has used the approach proposed by France, which involves using the amount of the incremental non-aeronautical revenue per passenger resulting from the aforementioned VTAN study.
Vključila je tudi strošek, ki ga predstavljajo finančne „spodbude“ iz člena 8 pogodbe o letaliških storitvah z dne 10. oktobra 2005, in sicer plačilo zbornice družbi Ryanair, ki ustreza […] EUR na potnika na odhodnem letu in […] EUR na povratni let.
As explained above, this study and the associated VTAN business plan form acceptable bases for a projected profitability analysis.
Razpredelnica 9
As regards the agreements signed by the CCI, the Commission has had to use a different approach given that, to its knowledge, no projection of the non-aeronautical revenue was made by the CCI prior to these agreements being signed.
Končni rezultat ponovno pripravljene predhodne analize donosnosti iz pogodb z dne 10. oktobra 2005
The Commission takes the view that these figures offer the most reliable basis, bearing in mind that, unlike the property-related revenue, which is fixed, the commercial revenue varies according to the traffic, and in an almost proportional manner.
[250000–300000]
The Commission considers it likely that an MEO could have determined an amount of incremental non-aeronautical revenue per passenger when the various agreements were signed, based on the airport’s total commercial non-aeronautical revenue per passenger over a long enough period to be representative, and immediately preceding the signature of the agreement in question.
[300000–350000]
The Commission has used a three-year period where the figures were available for this period.
[750–800]
The Commission has also taken account of inflation by applying an indexation rate of 2 %.
[850–900]
Table 5 in this recital gives the airport’s total commercial non-aeronautical revenue observed during the 1999-2011 period, year by year, and, for each year, the average unit amount of non-aeronautical revenue per passenger over the previous three years, or over the previous longest period for which figures are available, if this is less than three years.
[900–950]

Aneks z dne 30. januarja 2006
Year
Iz aneksa z dne 30. januarja 2006 in pojasnil Francije je razvidno, da se je s tem aneksom samo potrdila ohranitev veljavnosti pogodb iz leta 2005 (ki naj bi se iztekli šele konec leta 2009) do takrat, ko bo zbornica prenehala upravljati letališče Nîmes.
Total commercial non-aeronautical revenue
Iz besedila aneksa z dne 17. oktobra 2006 in pojasnil Francije je razvidno, da se je s tem aneksom zmanjšal obseg tržnih storitev za leto 2006, ker zbornica ni mogla zagotoviti podpor za trženje, ki bi morale biti navedene na spletnem mestu družbe Ryanair, in ker je bilo opravljanje tržnih storitev prekinjeno za skoraj pol leta.
Running average over the previous three years (or over a shorter period depending on the available figures)
Razlog za to je dejstvo, da zbornica ni mogla zagotoviti besedil, ki naj bi bila objavljena na spletnem mestu družbe Ryanair.
[600000-800000]
Navedene tržne storitve so torej zamujale in so bile izvedene v drugi polovici leta 2006, zaradi česar se je znižal znesek storitev za leto 2006.
[400000-600000]
Ker je zadevno zamudo mogoče pripisati zbornici in ker je ta kljub temu pri družbi AMS dosegla znižanje plačil za trženje na podlagi njune pogodbe iz leta 2005, je zbornica v tem primeru ravnala kot preudaren udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu.
[800000-1000000]
Pogodbi z dne 2. januarja 2007
[1000000-1200000]
Pogodba o letaliških storitvah z dne 2. januarja 2007 in pogodba o tržnih storitvah, sklenjena na isti dan (v nadaljnjem besedilu: pogodbi z dne 2. januarja 2007), sta prvi pogodbi, ki ju je družba VTAN sklenila z družbo Ryanair/AMS.
The assumptions used are favourable to Ryanair because it is clear that the amount of incremental non-aeronautical revenue per passenger resulting from this method is higher than the amount resulting from the VTAN business plan.
Če ne bi bilo teh pogodb, bi lahko družba Ryanair svobodno ukinila vse svoje dejavnosti na letališču Nîmes.
Incremental costs (agreements signed with Ryanair and AMS)
Dodatni promet, povezan s pogodbama z dne 2. januarja 2007, torej ustreza pričakovanemu prometu na vseh rutah in letih, navedenih v teh pogodbah, in sicer za obdobje od 2. januarja do 31. oktobra 2007:
The incremental costs that could be expected ex ante from each transaction (consisting, where applicable, of an airport services agreement and a marketing services agreement) by an MEO operating the airport in place of the Operators may fall into the following three categories:
ruti v London z enim vsakodnevnim letom,
costs of purchasing the marketing services,
ruti v Charleroi s štirimi leti na teden,
financial incentives involving the transfer by the airport operator to Ryanair, under the airport services agreement, of part of the proceeds from the airport charges, according to criteria such as the traffic level,
ruti v East Midlands s tremi leti na teden.
incremental investment costs, due to investments made as a result of the transaction,
Komisija je na podlagi zgoraj opisanih načel z uporabo – iz prej navedenih razlogov – 85-odstotnega faktorja zasedenosti v svojo analizo vključila ta dodatni promet ter z njim povezane dodatne prihodke in stroške.
incremental operating costs, namely operating costs (staff, sundry purchases) that may be generated as a result of the transaction.
Vključila je tudi strošek, ki ga predstavljajo finančne „spodbude“ iz člena 8 pogodbe o letaliških storitvah z dne 2. januarja 2007, in sicer plačilo družbe VTAN družbi Ryanair na potnika na odhodnem letu, ki se postopoma zvišuje glede na število potnikov.
With regard to the costs of the marketing services agreements and ‘financial incentives’, the Commission has taken into account the amounts stipulated in the various marketing services agreements and the financial incentive mechanisms provided for in the various airport services agreements.
Razpredelnica 10
As with the traffic forecasts, the projected marketing payments do not necessarily represent the amounts actually paid, given that certain events occurring after the agreements were signed may have resulted in deviations from these initial figures.
