Moreover, FFHG could any time modify the schedule of airport charges, in the even it was proven that the revenue generated was insufficient to cover the incremental costs induced by the airlines using that schedule.
Komisija glede na uvodne izjave 512 do 545 ugotavlja, da je pomoč za naložbe, dodeljena letališču Frankfurt Hahn, združljiva z notranjim trgom na podlagi člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe, ker je v skladu s pogoji za združljivost iz točke 61 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2005.
Hence, the incremental costs of the 2006 schedule of airport charges were very limited and the FFHG expected to be able to better use its resources.
Ukrepi 7, 9 in 10: pogodbe z družbo Ryanair iz let 1999, 2002 in 2005: Komisija je na podlagi analize pogodb in informacij, ki so bile družbi FFHG na voljo ob sklenitvi navedenih pogodb, prepričana, da je lahko družba FFHG razumno pričakovala, da bodo pogodbe prispevale k donosnosti letališča Frankfurt Hahn, saj so bili pričakovani dodatni prihodki višji od pričakovanih dodatnih stroškov.
While the ex ante-analysis undertaken by FFHG and submitted by Germany did not discount the future payments to the date on which the 2006 schedule of airport charges was put into effect, it is clear that the schedule was expected to be profitable from the first year onwards.
Ker so bile torej pogodbe v skladu z načelom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, z njimi družbi Ryanair ni bila dodeljena prednost.
Moreover, given the high fixed costs and very limited incremental costs relating to the provision of services under the 2006 schedule of airport charges, those forecasts were not sensitive to the assumptions regarding the overall traffic development.
Ukrepa 8 in 11: seznama letaliških pristojbin iz let 2001 in 2006: Komisija glede na predhodno analizo donosnosti, ki jo je opravila družba FFHG, meni, da s seznamoma letaliških pristojbin iz let 2001 in 2006 letalskim prevoznikom ni dodeljena gospodarska prednost, ki je pod običajnimi tržnimi pogoji ne bi pridobili.
In view of the conducted incremental profitability calculation, the Commission concludes that the introduction of 2006 schedule of airport charges was in line with the MEO principle, as it incrementally contributed, from an ex ante point of view, to the profitability of the airport.
Ker eno od kumulativnih meril iz člena 107(1) Pogodbe ni izpolnjeno, Komisija meni, da pogodbe z družbo Ryanair iz let 1999, 2002 in 2005 med letališčem Frankfurt Hahn in družbo Ryanair ter seznama letaliških pristojbin iz let 2001 in 2006 ne pomenijo državne pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
In particular, all costs of the airport stemming from the introduction of the 2006 schedule of airport charges were covered by the revenues (both aeronautical and non-aeronautical activities) stemming from the introduction of that schedule, with a reasonable profit margin.
Komisija ugotavlja, da se Nemčija strinja s tem, da se sklep sprejme samo v angleškem jeziku –
Moreover, the costs directly attributable to individual agreements with specific airlines were reasonably expected to be exceeded by the revenues attributable to the presence of those airlines (see Section 8.2.5).
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
Hence, the 2006 schedule of airport charges could reasonably be expected (taking into account the prevailing market conditions at the time of its introduction) to contribute to the overall profitability of the airport in the long term.
Člen 1
Thus, the Commission concludes that the 2006 schedule of airport charges does not confer an economic advantage on the airlines that they would not have obtained under normal market conditions.
Državna pomoč, ki jo je Nemčija v nasprotju s členom 108(3) Pogodbe v obdobju 2001–2012 nezakonito izvedla v korist družbe Flughafen Frankfurt Hahn GmbH s povečanjem kapitala v letu 2001 v višini 27 milijonov EUR, povečanjem kapitala v letu 2004 v višini 22 milijonov EUR in neposrednimi nepovratnimi sredstvi zvezne dežele Porenje – Pfalška (v obsegu, v katerem zadevna nepovratna sredstva niso bila povezana zgolj z dejavnostmi s področja javne politike in niso krila naložb, o katerih je bilo nepreklicno odločeno pred 12. decembrom 2000), je združljiva z notranjim trgom.
Moreover, it was open to all potential users of the airport on transparent and non-discriminatory terms.
Povečanje kapitala iz leta 2004, ki ga je izvedla družba Fraport AG, ter pogodba o prenosu dobička in izgube iz leta 2004 ne pomenita pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
Therefore, the 2006 schedule of airport charges does not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Člen 2
Pursuant to Article 108(3) of the Treaty, Member States must notify any plans to grant or alter aid, and must not put the proposed measures into effect until the notification procedure has resulted in a final decision.
Pogodba med družbo Ryanair in družbo Flughafen Frankfurt Hahn GmbH z dne 14. februarja 2002 ne pomeni pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
LEGAL ASSESSMENT — COMPATIBILITY OF AID
Člen 3
THE APPLICABILITY OF THE 2014 AND 2005 AVIATION GUIDELINES
Seznama letaliških pristojbin, ki sta začela veljati 1. oktobra 2001 in 1. junija 2006, ne pomenita pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe.
Article 107(3) of the Treaty provides for certain exemptions to the general rule set out in Article 107(1) of the Treaty that State aid is not compatible with the internal market.
Člen 4
In particular, Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty stipulates that: ‘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.
Ta sklep je naslovljen na Zvezno republiko Nemčijo.
In that 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 Treaty.
V Bruslju, 1. oktobra 2014
According to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission considers that the Commission notice on the determination of the applicable rules for the assessment of unlawful State aid [124] applies to unlawful investment aid to airports.
Za Komisijo
In that respect, 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.
Podpredsednik
Accordingly, the Commission will apply the principles set out in the 2005 Aviation Guidelines in the case of unlawful investment aid to airports granted before 4 April 2014 [125].
Z učinkom od 1. decembra 2009 sta člena 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES postala člen 107 oziroma člen 108 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Pogodba).
According to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission also considers that the provisions of the Commission notice on the determination of the applicable rules for the assessment of unlawful State aid should not apply to cases of illegal operating aid to airports granted prior to 4 April 2014.
Vsebinsko sta enaka prejšnjima členoma.
Instead, the Commission will apply the principles set out in the 2014 Aviation Guidelines to all cases concerning operating aid to airports (pending notifications and unlawful non-notified aid) even if the aid was granted before 4 April 2014 and the beginning of the transitional period [126].
V tem sklepu je treba sklicevanje na člena 107 in 108 Pogodbe razumeti kot sklicevanje na člen 87 oziroma člen 88 Pogodbe ES, kadar je to primerno.
The Commission has already concluded in recital 496 that the measures under assessment constitute unlawful State aid granted before 4 April 2014.
S Pogodbo so bile uvedene tudi nekatere spremembe terminologije, pri čemer je na primer besedo „Skupnost“ nadomestila beseda „Unija“, besedno zvezo „skupni trg“ pa „notranji trg“.
DISTINCTION BETWEEN INVESTMENT AND OPERATING AID
V celotnem besedilu tega sklepa se uporablja terminologija Pogodbe.
According to point 25(18) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, investment aid is defined as ‘aid to finance fixed capital assets; specifically, to cover the “capital costs funding gap”’.
Ryanair je irska letalska družba in članica Evropskega združenja nizkocenovnih letalskih prevoznikov.
Moreover, according to that provision 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).
Njena dejavnost je povezana s sekundarnimi, regionalnimi letališči.
Operating aid, on the other hand, means aid 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’ [127].
Trenutno leti na približno 160 evropskih destinacij.
In the light of those definitions, it can be considered that the capital increases and direct grants which were linked to investment projects constitute investment aid in favour of FFHG.
Ima homogeno floto, ki jo sestavlja 272 zrakoplovov Boeing 737-800 s 189 sedeži.
In contrast, the part of the annual loss transfers used to cover FFHG's annual operating losses [128] of FFHG, net of the costs included in the EBITDA that fall within the public policy remit as established in Section 8.1.4.1 constitute operating aid in favour of FFHG.
Glej opombo 2.
Finally, the part of the annual loss transfers covering losses of FFHG that were not already included in the EBITDA (that is the annual depreciation of assets, costs of financing, etc.), minus costs falling within the public policy remit as established in Section 8.1.4.1, constitute investment aid.

COMPATIBILITY OF THE INVESTMENT AID PURSUANT TO THE 2005 AVIATION GUIDELINES
1.
According to point 61 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission must examine whether the following cumulative conditions are met:
Sporočilo Komisije – Smernice o državni pomoči letališčem in letalskim prevoznikom (UL C 99, 4.4.2014, str. 3).
the construction and operation of the infrastructure meets a clearly defined objective of common interest (regional development, accessibility, etc.);
Uporaba členov 92 in 93 Pogodbe ES ter člena 61 Sporazuma EGP za državne pomoči v letalskem sektorju (UL C 350, 10.12.1994, str. 5).
the infrastructure is necessary and proportional to the objective which has been set;
Smernice Skupnosti o financiranju letališč in zagonski državni pomoči letalskim družbam z odhodi z regionalnih letališč (UL C 312, 9.12.2005, str. 1).
the infrastructure has satisfactory medium-term prospects for use, in particular as regards the use of existing infrastructure;
UL C 113, 15.4.2014, str. 30.
all potential users of the infrastructure have access to it in an equal and non-discriminatory manner; and
V nadaljevanju tega sklepa se izraz „družba Fraport“ uporablja za družbo „FAG“ pred spremembo poslovnega imena in družbo „Fraport AG“ po tem.
the development of trade is not affected to an extent contrary to the Union interest.
Zaupne informacije.
In addition, State aid to airports — as any other State aid measure — must have an incentive effect and be necessary and proportional in relation to the aimed legitimate objective in order to be compatible.
V skladu s členom 7(3) pogodbe o nakupu se lahko del nakupne cene zniža, če bi na primer stroški družbe FFHG za zaščito pred hrupom presegli določeno zgornjo mejo.
Germany submitted that the investment aid in favour of FFHG complies with all the compatibility criteria contained in the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
Zvezna deleža Hessen je imela 45,24 % delnic družbe Fraport, družba Stadtwerke Frankfurt am Main Holding GmbH (v 100-odstotni lasti občine Frankfurt na Majni) je imela 28,89 % delnic, Zvezna republika Nemčija pa 25,87 %.
The aid contributes to a clearly defined objective of common interest
Wizz Air je madžarska letalska družba in članica Evropskega združenja nizkocenovnih letalskih prevoznikov.
The investment aid in favour of FFHG aimed at financing the further conversion of the former US military base into a civilian airport and substantially developing the infrastructure of the airport.
Skupino Wizz Air sestavljajo tri operativne družbe, in sicer Wizz Air Hungary, Wizz Air Bulgaria in Wizz Air Ukraine.
Those measures provided a significant contribution to the regional development and connectivity of the Hunsrück region, and the creation of new jobs in an area economically hit by the closure of the US military base as well as the decongestion of Frankfurt Main airport.
Njihov poslovni model je povezan s sekundarnimi, regionalnimi letališči.
The Hunsrück region, as pointed out by Germany, is surrounded by a number of areas (such as Landkreis Birkenfeld), which were marked as regions in need of support in the framework of the ‘Gemeinschaftsaufgabe Verbesserung der regionalen Wirtschaftsstruktur’.
Letalska družba trenutno leti na približno 150 evropskih destinacij.
Indeed, in the period under consideration, Landkreis Birkenfeld was at least partly considered to be a region with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) below the Union average [129].
Ima homogeno floto, katere povprečna starost je manj kot tri leta in ki jo sestavlja 34 zrakoplovov Airbus A 320 s 180 sedeži.
The Commission considers that the development of Frankfurt Hahn airport also contributed significantly to the creation of new jobs in the Hunsrück region.
Notarski zapis notarja Jürgena Scherzerja (zapis št. 268/2000) z dne 24. novembra 2000.
As shown by Germany, taking into account all parts of the airport activities, Frankfurt Hahn airport created 3063 jobs in the Hunsrück region in 2012 out of which 74 % were full-time positions and 90 % of those employees also live in that region.
Resolucija skupščine delničarjev z dne 3. maja 2000.
Moreover, the development of Frankfurt Hahn airport had also positive indirect, induced and catalysing effects on the creation of jobs in the region as well as regional development in general through an increasing number of economic and touristic activities.
Odbor za deleže družbe Fraport je odbor, ki ga je ustanovil nadzorni odbor in ki spremlja ekonomski razvoj deležev družbe Fraport.
According to the information provided by Germany, Frankfurt Hahn airport contributes significantly to the development of incoming (~ 33 % of passengers corresponding to approximately 1 million passengers in 2005) and outgoing tourism (~ 67 % of passengers) in the Land Rhineland-Palatinate.
Ali drugače rečeno, razmerje med tujim in lastnim kapitalom je bilo 96 %.
As pointed out by Germany, 88 % of the incoming passengers stay at least one night in the region and generated approximately 5,7 million overnight stays in 2005.
Letna poročila za holdinške družbe zvezne dežele Porenje – Pfalška iz let 1999, 2001, 2003 in 2004.
Since 88 % of incoming tourists from Frankfurt Hahn stay at least one night and more than 80 % of those even stay two to 10 days, they generate a total turnover of about EUR 133,7 million per year.
Zgornja meja letne pristojbine za obračanje, ki jo je morala plačati družba Ryanair v primeru do šestih letov na dan, je bila določena na […] EUR.
Moreover, incoming tourism generated around 11000 jobs in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Spis št.
The aided investments at issue also helped to improve the accessibility of the area.
V/21-1011/1.
Nevertheless, the duplication of unprofitable airports (or the creation of additional unused capacity) does not contribute to an objective of common interest.
Priloga 3: Družba FFHG je prejela […]-odstotno provizijo za vsako vozovnico, prodano (gotovina ali kreditna kartica) ali izdano na prodajnih okencih družbe FFHG, […]-odstotno provizijo za plačila presežne prtljage, ki jih je pobrala družba FFHG, […] EUR za vsako vnaprej plačano vozovnico, ki jo je obdelala družba Ryanair, in […]-odstotno provizijo za vsak najem avtomobila, rezerviran prek družbe FFHG.
In this case, the Commission takes the view that the investment aid does not lead to such a duplication which would diminish the medium-term prospects for the use of existing infrastructure at other, neighbouring airports.
To izhaja tudi iz točke 68 preskusa udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, ki ga je v imenu zvezne dežele Porenje – Pflaška predložila družba PwC.
Indeed, there are no other airports within 100 kilometres or 60 minutes travelling time from Frankfurt Hahn airport.

The closest airports to Frankfurt Hahn are Frankfurt Main airport, which is located at 115 kilometres distance or 1 hour 15 minutes traveling time by car, and Luxembourg airport, which is located 1 hour and 30 minutes travelling time (111 kilometres) away.
V/20-1011/1.
Frankfurt Main airport is an international hub airport with a wide variety of destinations and is predominantly served by network carriers offering connecting traffic, whereas Frankfurt Hahn airport serves low-cost point-to-point flights.
Zadeva C-482/99, Francija proti Komisiji (v nadaljnjem besedilu: sodba Stardust Marine), Recueil 2002, str.
Traffic at Frankfurt Main airport has continuously increased since 2000, from 49,4 million passengers in 2000 to approximately 58 million in 2012.
I-4397, točka 51 in naslednje.
However, during that period growth has been affected by congestion problems and capacity constraints.
Sodba Stardust Marine, točka 51 in naslednje.
As pointed out by Germany, the capacity limits of Frankfurt Main airport were constantly exceeded.
Glej Sporočilo Komisije o elementih državne pomoči pri prodaji zemljišč in objektov s strani javnih oblasti, točka II.2.
Therefore, according to Germany, especially in the light of its 24 hour operating licence, Frankfurt Hahn airport played an important role in providing additional capacity in order to relieve the congestion at Frankfurt Main airport.
Točka 33 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2005.
In fact, until 2009 Fraport was the majority shareholder of FFHG, the operator of Frankfurt Hahn airport (2,7 million passengers in 2013, around 4 million passengers in 2007 at its peak) and the operator of Frankfurt-Main airport (58 million passengers and 2,1 million freight), and was as such pursuing a diversification strategy.
Zadeva T-128/98, Aéroports de Paris proti Komisiji, Recueil 2000, str.
Luxembourg airport, which is the nearest airport to Frankfurt Hahn but still around 111 kilometres or 1 hour 30 minutes traveling time by car away, had around 1,7 million passengers in 2008 and experienced a rapid growth to 2,2 million in 2013.

In addition, Frankfurt Hahn is served mainly by low-cost carriers (Ryanair) and freight constitutes a rather important element in its business model whereas Saarbrücken airport offers mainly scheduled flights to national destinations and has only limited air freight transport.
Zadeva C-458/03, Stadtwerke Brixen AG, ZOdl.
With regard to Zweibrücken airport, Germany emphasised that the distance of 127 km to Frankfurt Hahn airport translates into a travelling time of 1 hour and 27 minutes by car or around 4 hours by train.
2005, str.
Moreover, Germany submitted that, looking at passenger and air freight traffic between 2005 and 2012, no relationship of substitution between the airports can be deduced.
I-8585, točka 67.
The Commission observes that there is a certain overlap in the activities of both Frankfurt Hahn and Zweibrücken airports, as Zweibrücken airport also engaged in handling air freight and the destinations served by Zweibrücken airport are predominantly for charter traffic.
Zadeva C-340/04, Carbotermo, ZOdl.
In that regard, the Commission notes that freight is usually more mobile than passenger transport [130].
2006, str.
Comments from the industry suggest that up to a half-day of trucking time (that is to say, up to 12 hours driving time by trucks) would in general be acceptable for freight forwarders to transport their goods [131].

Moreover, charter traffic is also, in general, less time sensitive and may accept traveling times of up to 2 hours by car.

At the same time it should be noted that, before Zweibrücken entered the market in 2006, Frankfurt Hahn airport was already a well-established airport with more than 3 million passengers and channelling 123000 tonnes of freight.
Zadeva C-379/98, Preussen-Elektra, Recueil 2001, str.
In view of the historical development of the two airports, their geographical location and the free capacity available at Frankfurt Hahn airport at the time when Zweibrücken airport entered the commercial aviation market in 2006, the Commission concludes that it is rather the opening of Zweibrücken airport which constituted an unnecessary duplication of infrastructure.
I-2099, točka 58.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that the investments into Frankfurt Hahn airport do not constitute a duplication of existing non-profitable infrastructure.

According to Germany, the investments were undertaken according to the needs (and were thus proportionate) and the constructed infrastructure was necessary for the airport in order to serve the connectivity and the development of the region and to decongest Frankfurt Main airport.
