The infrastructure has satisfactory medium-term prospects for use
Družba Oxera trdi, da je analiza donosnosti, ki jo je izvedla v svojih poročilih, predloženih Komisiji, v skladu z načeli, ki bi jih upošteval razumen vlagatelj iz zasebnega sektorja, in zajema pristop, ki je razviden iz dosedanje prakse odločanja Komisije.
Germany submitted that before the decision to extend the airport infrastructure was taken, Fraport commissioned traffic forecast studies in order to identify the traffic potential for Frankfurt Hahn airport.
Načela, na katerih temelji analiza donosnosti, so:

Potential low-cost passenger traffic (under the assumption that Ryanair sets a base) at Frankfurt Hahn airport in 2001-2011 Existing routes
V dokumentu je navedeno, da obstajajo številna zelo močna, znana letališča, ki se pogosto uporabljajo.
Potential Low Cost Traffic
Da bi šibkejši konkurenti lahko razvijali svoj posel, morajo premagati statične nakupovalne navade potrošnikov.
Scenario 2: Ryanair sets a base at HHN
Manjša regionalna letališča morajo najti način za dosledno seznanjanje čim širšega občinstva s sporočilom svoje znamke.

Total potential freight traffic at Frankfurt Hahn airport in 2001-2010
Družba Ryanair je predložila dodatni poročili svetovalne družbe Oxera.
(Thousands)
V teh poročilih družba Oxera obravnava načela, ki bi jih bilo treba po mnenju letalskega prevoznika v okviru preskusa udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu upoštevati pri analizi donosnosti pogodb o letaliških storitvah med družbo Ryanair in letališči ter sporazumov o trženju med družbo AMS in istimi letališči.
Freight Potential at Hahn Airport Diverted by Curfew Air Freight
Družba Ryanair je poudarila, da navedeni poročili nikakor ne vplivata na njeno predhodno izraženo mnenje, tj. da bi bilo treba pogodbe o letaliških storitvah in sporazume o trženju analizirati z ločenima preskusoma udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
Trucked Source: SH&E
V poročilih je navedeno, da bi bilo treba dobiček družbe AMS v skupni analizi donosnosti vključiti med prihodke, odhodke družbe AMS pa med stroške.
Access to the infrastructure in an equal and non-discriminatory manner
V ta namen je v poročilih predlagano, da se v skupni analizi donosnosti uporabi metoda na podlagi denarnega toka, kar pomeni, da bi se lahko odhodki letališč za družbo AMS šteli za dodatne odhodke iz poslovanja.
According to the information provided by Germany, all potential users of the infrastructure have access to the airport on equal and non-discriminatory terms.
V poročilih je poudarjeno, da dejavnosti trženja prispevajo k ustvarjanju in izboljšanju vrednosti znamke, kar prinaša učinke in koristi med trajanjem pogodbe ter po njenem prenehanju.
Trade is not affected contrary to common interest
Po mnenju družbe Ryanair bi bilo treba te koristi, če bi Komisija izvedla skupno analizo donosnosti, upoštevati tako, da bi se odhodki družbe AMS šteli za dodatne stroške poslovanja, zmanjšane za plačila družbe AMS.
Firstly, Germany stated that there are no substitution effects between Frankfurt Hahn airport and other airports in the catchment area, such as Zweibrücken airport and Frankfurt Main airport.
Družba Ryanair poleg tega meni, da bi bilo treba ob koncu trajanja pogodbe o letaliških storitvah v napovedani dodatni dobiček vključiti končno vrednost (ki izraža vrednost, ustvarjeno po prenehanju pogodbe).
According to Germany, undue negative effects on competition with these airports because of the aid granted to FFHG cannot be shown, be it in passenger or in freight traffic.
Končna vrednost bi se lahko prilagodila na podlagi verjetnosti „obnovitve“, s katero se meri pričakovanje, da se bo dobiček ohranil po prenehanju pogodbe z družbo Ryanair ali po dogovoru o podobnih pogojih z drugimi letalskimi prevozniki.
Indeed, Germany argued that in recent years, low cost carriers increasingly had to offer flights to the major hubs since traditional airlines have lowered their prices and started to enter the market of low cost flights.
Družba Ryanair meni, da bi se ob upoštevanju negotovosti glede dodatnega dobička, ustvarjenega po prenehanju pogodbe o letaliških storitvah, nato lahko ocenila spodnja meja za koristi, ki izhajajo tako iz sporazuma z družbo AMS kot iz pogodbe o letaliških storitvah.
In this regard, Germany stated that regional airports, such as Frankfurt Hahn, are now under a bigger pressure to compete with the hub airports for leisure passengers.
Poročili ta pristop dopolnjujeta s povzetkom rezultatov študij o učinkih trženja na vrednost znamke.
Therefore, Germany concluded that the financial support provided has not led to any undue negative effects on competition, but has on the contrary proven appropriate in helping the adaption process towards a stable business model in the future.
V navedenih študijah se šteje, da se lahko s trženjem podpre vrednost znamke in pripomore k oblikovanju baze strank.
Secondly, Germany argued that the fact that Fraport, before getting involved in Frankfurt Hahn airport, was already the operator of Frankfurt Main airport, shows that no substitution movements from Frankfurt Main towards Frankfurt Hahn airport were to be expected.
V skladu s poročiloma oglaševanje letališča na spletnem mestu Ryanair.com bistveno poveča prepoznavnost znamke.
Instead, Fraport was investing into the possibility to de-congest Frankfurt Main airport and to use the additional, complimentary function of Frankfurt Hahn airport, as a future capacity overload was foreseeable for Frankfurt Main hub.
Navedeno je tudi, da lahko manjša regionalna letališča, ki želijo povečati svoj zračni promet, vrednost svoje znamke povečajo zlasti s sklenitvijo sporazumov o trženju z družbo AMS.
According to Germany, the ban on night flights at Frankfurt Main airport was one of the main factors in this reasoning as Frankfurt Hahn airport had a 24 hours operating license.
Nazadnje je v poročilih navedeno, da ima pristop na podlagi denarnega toka prednost pred pristopom na podlagi kapitalizacije, v okviru katerega bi se stroški storitev trženja, ki jih zagotovi družba AMS, šteli za naložbo v neopredmeteno sredstvo (tj. vrednost znamke letališča) [40].
In conclusion, Germany argued that the effects of any aid in favour of FFHG have been limited to positive regional effects for the Hunsrück region, whilst creating no undue negative effects in the relationship to other airports given that Frankfurt Hahn airport is simply used to de-congest Frankfurt Main.
V pristopu na podlagi kapitalizacije bi se upošteval le delež izdatkov za trženje, ki se lahko pripiše neopredmetenim sredstvom letališča.
Furthermore, Germany stated that, apart from Luxembourg airport, which is already 1 hour and 30 travelling time (111 km) from Frankfurt Hahn airport, there are no other foreign competing airports in the same catchment area.
Stroški trženja bi se šteli za naložbo v neopredmeteno sredstvo in bi se amortizirali med trajanjem pogodbe, pri čemer bi se ob koncu načrtovanega prenehanja pogodbe o letaliških storitvah upoštevala preostala vrednost.
Even in relation to Luxembourg, no negative distortive effect on competition due to the aid granted can be observed according to Germany.
Pri tem pristopu se ne bi upošteval dodatni dobiček, ki bi ga prinesla sklenitev pogodbe o letaliških storitvah z družbo Ryanair, prav tako pa je zaradi stroškov znamke in obdobja uporabe sredstva težko izračunati vrednost neopredmetenih sredstev.
Incentive effect, necessity and proportionality
V skladu s poročiloma je metoda na podlagi denarnega toka tudi primernejša od pristopa na podlagi kapitalizacije, saj se s slednjim ne bi zajele koristi, ki bi jih imelo letališče zaradi podpisa pogodbe o letaliških storitvah z družbo Ryanair.
Germany stated that in the absence of investment aid, the level of economic activity of the airport would be significantly reduced.
Oxera – Gospodarska presoja načela udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu: letališče Frankfurt Hahn, 11. avgust 2014
Germany submitted that the aid was necessary as it compensated only the costs of financing and a lower amount would lead to lower levels of investment.
Ocena družbe Oxera v zvezi s pogodbami družbe Ryanair temelji na informacijah, ki so bile letališču na voljo ob podpisu pogodbe.
COMPATIBILITY OF OPERATING AID TO FINANCE THE AIRPORT'S OPERATION
Pogodba z družbo Ryanair iz leta 1999
The 2014 Aviation Guidelines provide conditions under which operating and investment aids to airports may be declared compatible with the internal market within the meaning of Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Glede na poročilo je analiza pogodbe z družbo Ryanair iz leta 1999 temeljila na dokumentu s poslovnim načrtom, ki ga je družba FFHG izdelala 25. maja 1999, torej pred podpisom pogodbe.
On 17 April 2014, Germany provided its views on the compatibility of the measures under the 2014 Aviation Guidelines.
V poročilu je poudarjeno, da stroški gasilske službe, za katere se navadno šteje, da spadajo na področje javne politike, niso bili upoštevani.
Germany argued that, even if the measures under investigation would constitute operating aid to FFHG, they would be compatible with the internal market according to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty and Section 5.1.2 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines.
Enako velja za infrastrukturne naložbe.
Concerning the well-defined objective of common interest, Germany submitted that the coverage of operating costs of FFHG was always aimed at the objective of improving the regional economic structure of the economically underdeveloped and scarcely populated Hunsrück region.
Preglednica 16
In this regard the Germany presented the same reasoning as for the compatibility assessed of investment aid to finance the airport infrastructure (see Section 5.4.1.1).

Need for State intervention
Pogodba z družbo Ryanair iz leta 2002
As regards the need for State intervention, Germany explained why Frankfurt Hahn is making operational losses which need to be covered.
V poročilu je pojasnjeno, da so bile napovedi skupnega števila potnikov pridobljene iz poslovnega načrta družbe FFHG, pripravljenega novembra 2002, saj je to edini razpoložljivi dokument, ki vsebuje napovedi prometa za zadevno obdobje.
In its view, it is a rather ambitious objective for an airport such as Frankfurt Hahn airport with 1-3 million passengers to become profitable and be able to cover its operating costs.
Ocene stroškov poslovanja na potnika so temeljile na analizi dodatnih stroškov poslovanja na odhajajočega potnika družbe Ryanair, ki jo je opravila sama družba FFHG.
According to Germany, it was not possible to realise this ambitious objective in the start-up years since the airport was burdened by very high infrastructure investments which it financed itself on the capital market and for which it had to pay high interest.
Načrt naložb je bil pripravljen novembra 2000.
In addition, Germany stated that since the beginning of the world economic and financial crisis, a stagnation of passenger and especially of freight traffic could be registered.
Preglednica 17
Germany submitted that in light of these circumstances, there was a need for State invention to cover the operating losses since FFHG would otherwise have gone insolvent.
Ocena dodatne donosnosti pogodbe z družbo Ryanair iz leta 2002, ki jo je opravila družba Oxera [42]
This would also have resulted, according to Germany, in the withdrawal of the 24 hours operating licence, meaning that during the insolvency FFHG would have had to stop operating all flights, which in turn would have resulted in the loss of clients such as airlines and freight carriers.
DRUŽBA LUFTHANSA IN ZDRUŽENJE BDF
Germany pointed out that it would then also have become very difficult to find a new operator for the airport.
Družba Lufthansa in Bundesverband der Deutschen Fluggesellschaften e.V.
Appropriateness of the aid measures as policy instruments
(zvezno združenje nemških letalskih prevoznikov, v nadaljnjem besedilu: združenje BDF) sta predložila obsežne informacije in pripombe o sklepu o začetku postopka iz leta 2008, ki so povzete v nadaljevanju.
Germany submitted that covering the operating costs was an appropriate measure to achieve the intended objective.
Zato predlagata, da bi morala Komisija zahtevati dostop do vseh letnih bilanc stanja družbe FFHG.
Germany argued in this respect that, if Frankfurt Hahn airport would have had to stop operating and would have disappeared from the relevant markets, it would no longer have been possible to achieve the objectives of common interest pursued by the conversion of a former US air base into a full functioning civil aviation airport and developing the Hunsrück region.
Družba Lufthansa je v zvezi s tem trdila, da se v nasprotju s tem, kar je navedla Nemčija, amortizacija naložb v letih ni zelo povečala in da se ne more šteti za zelo visoko v primerjavi s stroški, povezanimi s podporo za trženje za družbo Ryanair, ki so vključeni v „druge stroške poslovanja“, kot prikazuje preglednica 18.
In this regard, Germany emphasised that in contrast to a market economy investor, a public investor will have to take into account these objectives when considering the alternative of a closure of the airport.
Družba Lufthansa in združenje BDF tudi predlagata, da bi morala Komisija zahtevati popolne neobjavljene letne bilance stanja družbe FFHG.
Existence of an incentive effect
Preglednica 18
Germany argued that in order to maintain Frankfurt Hahn airport in operation, it was a necessary conditio sine qua non to cover its operating costs as FFHG would otherwise have gone insolvent.
Razmerje med amortizacijo in drugimi stroški poslovanja
A successful operation of the airport was in turn the basis for realising the objectives of common interest as stated in recitals 213 and following.
Amortizacije
Furthermore, Germany argued that without operating aid, the financial consolidation of the airport would have been unthinkable, given that the airport would have accrued more and more debt instead of making it out of its debts as foreseen in the current austerity programme.
Izgube
Proportionality of the aid amount (aid limited to the minimum)
Drugi stroški poslovanja
Germany argued that any aid element contained in the loans was limited to the operating losses of and represented the absolute minimum necessary in order to maintain Frankfurt Hahn airport in operation and prevent it from becoming insolvent.
Družba Lufthansa in združenje BDF sta tudi trdila, da se študija, ki jo je predložila Nemčija in ki vsebuje statistične podatke o učinkih družbe FFHG na turizem v regiji Hunsrück in zvezni deželi Porenje – Pfalška, ne bi smela upoštevati, ker je številke o rasti števila potnikov in rasti delovnih mest v bližini letališča predložila družba FFHG in jih avtorji študije niso preverili.
Avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States
Poleg tega sta trdila, da je bilo, tudi ko je bila študija izvedena, znano, da navedene številke niso bile realne.
Undue negative effects on competition with these airports because of the operating aid granted to FFHG cannot be shown according to Germany, be it in passenger or in freight traffic.
Družba Lufthansa in združenje BDF sta poleg tega trdila, da družba FFHG ni imela jasnega poslovnega modela, kar je mogoče dokazati s spreminjajočimi se načrti za dodatke k letališču, kot so nakupovalna središča ali kraji za izlete, ki niso imeli nobene povezave z upravljanjem letališča.
Germany submitted that, on the contrary, Frankfurt Hahn has experienced significant substitution effects of passengers choosing the hubs, such as Köln/Bonn or Frankfurt Main, for flying with low cost carriers rather than from Frankfurt Hahn airport.
Poleg tega po njunem mnenju tudi nasprotujoče si izjave družbe FFHG, da bi moralo letališče Frankfurt Hahn postati donosno najprej do leta 2005, potem do leta 2008 in nato do leta 2013, kažejo, da se ni izvajal dosleden poslovni načrt.
Indeed, Germany argued that in recent years low cost carriers increasingly had to provide flights to the major hubs since traditional airlines have lowered their prices and started to enter the market of low cost flights.
Zato se tudi zadnja napoved, tj. da bi moralo letališče Frankfurt Hahn postati donosno od leta 2016, zdi nezanesljiva in je očitno celo temeljila na predpostavki, da bodo izvedene nadaljnje velike naložbe.
Therefore, Germany concluded that the coverage of operating costs has not led to any undue negative effects on competition, but has on the contrary proven appropriate in supporting the adaption process towards a stable business model in the future.
Vendar je bil po mnenju družbe Lufthansa in združenja BDF izvor takih naložb popolnoma nejasen.
Instead, Fraport was investing into the possibility to de-congest Frankfurt Main airport and to use the additional, complimentary function of Frankfurt Hahn airport, given that a future capacity overload was foreseeable for the Frankfurt Main hub.
Družba Lufthansa in združenje BDF sta poleg tega navedla, da v nasprotju s trditvami Nemčije družba PwC ni predložila pravilnega preskusa udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, saj ni sodna praksa Sodišča upoštevana v najmanj dveh točkah njene ocene.
In conclusion, Germany argued that the effects of any in favour of FFHG were limited to the positive regional effects for the Hunsrück region, while creating no undue negative effects in the relationship to other airports as Frankfurt Hahn airport is used to de-congest Frankfurt Main.
Prvič, družba Lufthansa in združenje BDF sta se sklicevala na trditve Nemčije, da je lahko nakopičene izgube družbe FFHG nadomestila družba Fraport kot njena delničarka.
Furthermore, Germany stated that apart from Luxembourg airport, which is already 1 hour and 30 travelling time (111 km) from Frankfurt Hahn airport, there are no other foreign competing airports in the same catchment area.
V zvezi s tem sta trdila, da ni pomembno, ali je izgube mogoče nadomestiti v skupini podjetij, ampak ali so posamezni ukrepi, ki so sprejeti za to, ukrepi, ki bi jih sprejel tudi vlagatelj v tržnem gospodarstvu (ali ne), in da torej navedene trditve niso sprejemljive.
COMMENTS FROM INTERESTED PARTIES
Drugič, družba Lufthansa in združenje BDF sta trdila, da utemeljitve v oceni, ki jo je izvedla družba PwC, niso zadostovale za dokaz, da bi vlagatelj v tržnem gospodarstvu sprejel enako odločitev, ker je družba PwC trdila, na primer v zvezi s pogodbo z družbo Ryanair iz leta 1999, da bi bilo mogoče zmanjšanje izgub doseči s povečanjem števila potnikov.
Ryanair objects against the decision of the Commission to initiate the formal investigation procedure as regards the 1999, 2002 and 2005 Ryanair agreements with Frankfurt Hahn airport.
Sklicevala sta se na zadevo WestLB, v skladu s katero si bo vlagatelj v tržnem gospodarstvu običajno „[p]rizadeval […] za kar največji razumni donos svoje naložbe, in sicer glede na zadevne okoliščine in izpolnitev svojih kratko-, srednje- in dolgoročnih interesov, tudi pri kapitalskih naložbah v podjetje, v katerem že ima delež“ [43].
Ryanair stated that these agreements complied with the market economy investor principle, and hence did not involve State aid.
Zmanjšanje izgub naj torej ne bi zadostovalo za to, da bi ukrep prestal preskus udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, in družba PwC v tem pogledu že ni upoštevala sodne prakse Sodišča, kot sta trdila družba Lufthansa in združenje BDF.
Ryanair essentially argues that no advantage has been conferred to it since the agreements reflect normal market conditions.
Družba Lufthansa in združenje BDF sta tudi poudarila, da ocena, predložena v imenu družbe FFHG, ni vključevala nobenega lastnega preskusa udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, saj je vsebovala samo sklic na preskus, ki ga je opravila družba PwC.
In this respect, Ryanair claimed that the contractual conditions must not be compared to those at other German airports, but those which Ryanair was agreeing with other airports hosting low-cost carriers, such as Blackpool airport and Charleroi airport.
Družba Lufthansa in združenje BDF sta poleg tega izpodbijala trditev družbe PwC v zvezi s povečanji kapitala, da so dolgoročna načrtovanja za več kot 30 let in amortizacija naložb v 20 letih običajna poslovna praksa za infrastrukturne naložbe (glej uvodno izjavo 103 sklepa o začetku postopka iz leta 2008).
Concerning the issue of marketing support, Ryanair argued that the charge for new destinations rewards flight frequencies and that the discounts granted by Frankfurt Hahn airport were in line with industry practice as many privately or publicly held airports applied the same or greater level of discounts for new destinations.
V zvezi s tem sta trdila, da so bile primerjave, ki jih je opravila družba PwC, s koncesijskimi pogodbami z letališči Budimpešta, Da Vinci in Campiano, Sparta in Belfast City popolnoma neutemeljene, saj ni položaj nobenega od teh letališč niti malo primerljiv s položajem družbe FFHG in letališča Frankfurt Hahn.
Concerning the application of airport charges, Ryanair argued that normal market charges, i.e. charges which were not abnormally low, satisfy the market economy investor principle.
Navedla sta, da je bilo v nasprotju z vsemi letališči, ki jih je navedla družba PwC, letališče Frankfurt Hahn vojaško letališče, ki se je za civilni zračni promet v glavnem začelo uporabljati šele leta 1999 in na katerem se je nato infrastruktura razvijala natančno v skladu s potrebami družbe Ryanair.
According to Ryanair, the prospect of an immediate profitability was not needed in order to fulfil this principle.
Zato po mnenju družbe Lufthansa in združenja BDF analiza praga pokritja stroškov ni pravilna, saj se niso upoštevali stroški terminala.
The prospect of achieving profitability in the medium- to long-term would be sufficient in Ryanair's opinion.
Družba Lufthansa in združenje BDF sta na podlagi sklepa o začetku postopka iz leta 2008 tudi trdila, da je čezmerno nadomestilo za varnostne pristojbine očitno pomenilo državno pomoč.
Furthermore, Ryanair contests the Commission's argument that Frankfurt Hahn airport had taken into account only the specific costs of the Ryanair contract as regards the coverage of its costs from the charges paid to Ryanair, and not the costs of the common airport infrastructure and general administration.
V zvezi s tem sta navedla, prvič, da izvajanje varnostnih pregledov ni bilo oddano z javnim naročilom.
