Proportionality of the aid amount (aid limited to the minimum necessary): in order to be proportionate, operating aid to airports must be limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place [41];
Glede na slabo stanje cestne infrastrukture na tem območju pa traja vožnja po cesti med obema letališčema 1 uro in 10 minut, kar presega merilo časa vožnje 60 minut, ki se uporablja za omejitev zaledja letališča v skladu s smernicami za letalski sektor iz leta 2014.
Avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade [42].
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 34 in 35, je poleg tega obstajala razlika v velikosti zrakoplovov, ki so lahko opravljali redne lete na obeh letališčih, ob upoštevanju razlik v infrastrukturi.
The operating support measures granted to Romanian regional airports were aimed to allow the airports to have enough capital to continue operating viably.
Komisija glede na navedeno ugotavlja, da je pomoč, ki jo je prejelo vsako od obeh letališč, prispevala k natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa tako, da je povečala mobilnost in dostopnost območij, na katerih sta navedeni letališči.
According to Romania, regional airports have an instrumental role to play in promoting accessibility to catchment areas and the financing at issue improve airport safety, security and efficiency, whilst contributing towards the achievement of wider regional development objectives.
Letališče Constanța
In addition, the most convenient mode of transport to/from those regions is air travel, apart from road/rail services, which however in Romania, given the poor condition of the infrastructure, involve considerably higher travelling times.
Letališče Constanța je od letališča Tuzla oddaljeno 45 km, potovanje pa traja 30 minut.
Nevertheless, the Commission notes that in view of the close proximity between some of the airports in the investigation, a possible duplication of airport infrastructure could militate against finding financing for those airports meets a clearly defined objective of common interest.
V obdobju 2007–2009 je ponujalo redne lete na več evropskih destinacij in je tako imelo drugačen poslovni model kot letališče Tuzla, ki ni ponujalo letaliških storitev za komercialno letalstvo in se je usmerjalo na specializirane lete (npr. za kmetijske ali oglaševalske namene, pa tudi prostočasne lete, lete za usposabljanje in nujne primere).
Therefore the Commission must assess that the financing of those airports does not lead to the duplication of airport infrastructure within the same catchment area.
Čeprav ima letališče Tuzla isto zaledje kot letališče Constanța, ga ni mogoče obravnavati kot „letališče“ v smislu točke 25(6) smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 in tako šteti za podvojevanje letališke infrastrukture letališča Constanța.
The 2014 Aviation Guidelines define the ‘catchment area of an airport’ as the geographic market boundary that is normally set at around 100 kilometres or around 60 minutes travelling time by car, bus, train or high-speed train.
Komisija glede na navedeno ugotavlja, da je pomoč, ki jo je prejelo letališč Constanța, prispevala k natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa tako, da je povečala mobilnost in dostopnost območja, na katerem je letališče.
The definition of the catchment area of a given airport needs to take into account the specificities of each particular airport.
Letališče Oradea
The size and shape of the catchment area depends on various characteristics of the airport, including its business model, location and the destinations it serves.
Letališče Oradea je od letališča Debrecen (Madžarska) oddaljeno 80 km, potovanje pa traja vsaj 1 uro in 30 minut (zaradi prehoda neschengenske meje).
As set out in recital 24 above, the only airports subject to the present assessment for which another airport is present within the catchment area of 100 km or 60 minutes travelling time by road, train or high-speed train, as set out in point 25 (12) of the 2014 Aviation guidelines are Arad, Baia Mare, Satu Mare, Constanța and Oradea.
Poleg tega sta imeli letališči v obdobju 2007–2009 različna poslovna modela, pri čemer so na letališče Oradea domače lete opravljali regionalni in nacionalni prevozniki, ki zagotavljajo celovite storitve, letališče Debrecen pa je bilo tedaj usmerjeno na čarterske lete (pri čemer se je nizkocenovni promet razvil šele v zadnjih letih).
For all the other airports, the Commission considers that the aid contributed to maintaining in operation infrastructure necessary to the mobility of citizens and accessibility of the regions where those airports are located, given in particular the poor quality of the road and rail infrastructure.
Iz tega je razvidno, da letališči v obdobju, ki se ocenjuje, medsebojno nista popolnoma zamenljivi.
Therefore, for those airports, the aid contributed to the furtherance of an objective of common interest for the Union.
Komisija tako ugotavlja, da čeprav sta letališči znotraj merila oddaljenosti 100 km, ki se uporablja za omejitev zaledja letališča v skladu smernicami za letalski sektor iz leta 2014, med njima ni podvajanja.
As to the remaining airports, the Commission notes the following.
Komisija glede na navedeno ugotavlja, da je pomoč, ki jo je prejelo letališč Oradea, prispevala k natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa tako, da je povečala mobilnost in dostopnost območja, na katerem je letališče.
Arad airport
Potreba po posegih države, ustreznost ukrepa pomoči kot instrumenta politike, obstoj spodbujevalnega učinka in sorazmernost zneska pomoči
Arad airport is located only 50 km from Timișoara, which amounts to a travelling time by road of 40 minutes.
Glede potrebnosti pomoči je v točki 116 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 zahteva, da mora pomoč za tekoče poslovanje zagotoviti pomembne izboljšave, ki jih trg sam ne more doseči.
Timișoara and Arad airports had different business models during the period 2007-2009.
V skladu s točko 120 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 morajo države članice prikazati, da je pomoč ustrezna za doseganje nameravanega cilja ali reševanje težav, ki se nameravajo obravnavati s to pomočjo.
Timișoara was a well-established airport pursuing a business model that is significantly different from that of Arad airport.
To velja v primeru, če bi morala zadevna romunska letališča brez zadevne pomoči verjetno zapustiti trg, regije Romunije pa bi ostale brez prometne infrastrukture, ki ima pomembno vlogo pri njeni dostopnosti in razvoju, ali precej zmanjšati svojo dejavnost.
Timișoara airport offered mainly scheduled flights of regional and international full service carriers connecting Timișoara with a number of Romanian and European cities [43] whilst, as mentioned in recitals 28 and 31 above, the business model of Arad was based on low-cost traffic.
V skladu s smernicami za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 lahko imajo manjša letališča težave z zagotavljanjem finančnih sredstev za svoje delovanje brez javnega financiranja.
The two airports continued to operate under different models from 2009 onwards with low-cost traffic drastically reduced and subsequently disappearing at Arad airport (the airport served only 8632 passengers in 2015 and according to publicly available information, it had no commercial passenger traffic in 2016) and Timișoara airport gearing towards low cost traffic.
V skladu s točko 118 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 letališča z manj kot 200000 potniki na leto morda ne bodo zmožna v veliki meri pokriti svojih stroškov poslovanja.
The fact that the business models of the airports at Timișoara and Arad were different during the period under assessment and subsequently is an indication that the two airports are imperfect substitutes for one another.
Komisija v tem smislu navaja, da promet na 11 letališčih, na katera se ta ocena nanaša, v obdobju 2007–2009 ni presegel 200000 potnikov.
According to point 85 of the Aviation Guidelines, the duplication of unprofitable airports or the creation of additional unused capacity does not contribute to an objective of common interest.
V skladu s točko 124 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 ima pomoč za tekoče poslovanje 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.
In this respect, the Commission notes that Timișoara was profitable during the period under assessment.
V tej zadevi bi se dejavnost upravičencev zaradi nepokritih izgub brez pomoči močno zmanjšala ali celo ukinila.
In addition, Timișoara airport made investments in various terminals over 2007-2010 to expand its capacity and cater for increased air traffic (e.g. extension and modernisation of the international flights terminal in 2007, extension of the domestic departure terminal over 2008-2010).
V skladu s točko 125 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 mora biti pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, da bi bila sorazmerna, omejena na najmanjšo potrebno, da se dejavnost z dodeljeno pomočjo izvede.
Timișoara airport therefore, already far bigger, had to invest to grow, so it is unlikely that absent the aid to Arad, Timișoara could have absorbed Arad's traffic without further investments.
Ukrepi, o katerih poteka preiskava, so bili omejeni na najmanjše potrebne, da se izravnajo izgube in letališčem omogoči nadaljnje uspešno poslovanje.
This is a further indication of the imperfect degree of substitutability between the two airports.
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da je bila vsa pomoč za tekoče poslovanje potrebna in omejena na najmanjšo potrebno, da se dejavnost z dodeljeno pomočjo izvede.
In the light of the arguments put forward in recitals 130 and 131 above, the Commission finds that while Arad airport is situated in the same catchment area as Timișoara airport, there is no duplication between the two airports.
Izogibanje neupravičenim negativnim učinkom na konkurenco in trgovino
On the basis of the above, the Commission can conclude that the aid to Arad airport contributed to the mobility of citizens and accessibility of the region where it is located and therefore served a well-defined objective of common interest.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 24, so edina letališča, na katere se nanaša ta ocena in od katerih je drugo letališče oddaljeno manj kot 100 km ali 60 minut vožnje po cesti, z vlakom ali hitrim vlakom, letališča Arad, Baia Mare, Satu Mare, Constanța in Oradea.
Baia Mare and Satu Mare airports
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 128, Komisija za vsa druga letališča meni, da je pomoč prispevala k ohranjanju delovanja infrastrukture, potrebne za mobilnost državljanov in dostopnost regij, na katerih so navedena letališča, pri čemer je upoštevala zlasti slabo kakovost cestne in železniške infrastrukture.
As regards Baia Mare and Satu Mare airports, they are located 76 km from each other and both airports served mostly scheduled flights to Bucharest operated by the Romanian flag carrier, TAROM.
Zato je pri navedenih letališčih pomoč prispevala k podpiranju cilja splošnega interesa za Unijo in ni povzročala neupravičenih izkrivljanj konkurence.
Based on publicly available information, at Baia Mare airport, during the period 2007-2009, TAROM operated several weekly flights to Bucharest, while Austrian Airlines operated one destination (Vienna) during the period April 2008-February 2009 and Blueair served three European destinations for just a few months (October to December 2009).
Komisija ugotavlja, da je imelo letališče Arad v obdobju, ki se ocenjuje, zelo omejen promet v absolutnem smislu in v primerjavi z letališčem Temišvar (ki je od njega oddaljeno 50 km in 40 minut vožnje).
TAROM also operated several weekly flights from Satu Mare airport to Bucharest.
Število potnikov na letališču Arad se je v obdobju, ki se ocenjuje, gibalo med 67183 in 128835, promet na letališču Temišvar pa se je gibal med 859329 in 991758 potniki na leto.
However, given the poor condition of the road infrastructure in that area, the travelling time between the two airports is 1h10 minutes by road, which exceeds the 60 minutes travelling time criterion used to delineate the catchment area of an airport according to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines.
Splošni konkurenčni učinki pomoči so nujno zmerni glede na majhen promet na letališču.
In addition, as mentioned in recitals 34 and 35 above there was a difference in the size of the aircrafts which could be regularly operated at the two airports given the difference in infrastructure.
Poleg tega se razvoj prometa na obeh letališčih ne zdi povezan.
Therefore, in the light of the arguments set in recitals 134 and 135 above, while the two airports are situated within 100 kilometres distance criterion used to delineate the catchment area of an airport according to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission finds that there is no duplication between them.
Promet na letališču Arad se je povečal s 67183 potnikov leta 2007 na 128835 potnikov leta 2008 in zmanjšal na približno 88147 potnikov leta 2009, medtem ko se je na letališču Temišvar postopoma povečeval (z 859329 potnikov leta 2007 na 886083 potnikov leta 2008 in 991758 potnikov leta 2009) [45].
Based on the above, the Commission concludes that the aid received by each of the two airports contributed to a well-defined objective of common interest by increasing mobility and accessibility in the areas where those airports are located.
Ta odsotnost povezave kaže, da sta letališči zadovoljevali različne potrebe in segmente trga ter se nista zgolj medsebojno podvojevali.
Constanța airport
Glede na to, da je bilo letališče Temišvar v obdobju 2007–2009 dobičkonosno in je izvedlo naložbo v povečanje svoje zmogljivosti, je malo verjetno, da je imel učinek pomoči letališču Arad materialni vpliv na delovanje letališča Temišvar.
Constanța airport is situated at 45 km and 0h30 travelling time from Tuzla airport.
Komisija glede na navedeno meni, da je bilo izkrivljanje konkurence, ki jo je povzročila pomoč, omejeno ter da ni prevladalo nad prispevkom pomoči k mobilnosti in dostopnosti.
In 2007-2009, Constanța offered scheduled flights to several European destinations and therefore had a different business model compared to Tuzla which did not offer any airport services for commercial aviation and focused on specialised flights (e.g. for agricultural purposes, for advertising purposes as well as leisure, training and emergency flights).
Ob upoštevanju izjemno majhnega prometa na obeh letališčih v obdobju, ki se ocenjuje (s 15334 potnikov leta 2007 na 24983 potnikov leta 2009 za letališče Baia Mare in s 5883 potnikov leta 2007 na 11101 potnikov leta 2009 za letališče Satu Mara), in razliko v velikosti vrste zrakoplovov, ki izvajajo lete, kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 34 in 35, Komisija ugotavlja, da je bilo izkrivljanje konkurence, ki jo je povzročila pomoč, zelo omejeno in ni prevladalo nad pozitivnim prispevkom pomoči k mobilnosti in dostopnosti.
Consequently, although Tuzla airport is situated in the same catchment area as Constanța airport, it cannot be considered an ‘airport’ within the meaning of point 25(6) of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines and therefore cannot be regarded as the duplication of the airport infrastructure at Constanța airport.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 138, je imelo letališče Constanța, ki je izvajalo komercialni promet, drugačen poslovni model od bližnjega letališča Tuzla, ki ni ponujalo letaliških storitev za komercialno letalstvo.
On this basis, the Commission concludes that the aid to Constanța airport contributed to a well-defined objective of common interest by increasing mobility and accessibility in the area where the airport is located.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da je prispevek pomoči, ki jo je v obdobju 2007–2009 prejelo letališče Constanța, k mobilnosti in dostopnosti prevladal nad izkrivljanjem konkurence, ki jo povzročila navedena pomoč.
Oradea airport
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 37 in 140, je letališče Oradea od letališča Debrecen (Madžarska) oddaljeno 80 km, potovanje pa traja vsaj 1 uro in 30 minut (zaradi prehoda neschengenske meje).
Oradea is 80 km away from Debrecen (Hungary), but traveling time is at least 1h30 (due to the need to pass a non-Schengen border).
Poleg tega je imelo letališče Oradea v obdobju 2007–2009 zelo malo prometa (manj kot 40000 potnikov) in drugačen poslovni model kot letališče Debrecen (glej uvodno izjavo 141).
In addition, over 2007-2009 the airports had a different business model with Oradea operating domestic flights by regional and national full service carriers and Debrecen airport focusing at that time on charter flights (with low cost traffic developing only in recent years).
Komisija na tej podlagi meni, da je prispevek pomoči, ki jo je prejelo letališče Oradea, k mobilnosti in dostopnosti pomembnejši od morebitnega izkrivljanja konkurenca, ki ga je povzročila navedena pomoč.
This is an indication that the two airports in the period under assessment have been imperfect substitutes for one another.
Sklep glede združljivosti pomoči
Therefore, while the two airports are situated within 100 kilometres distance criterion used to delineate the catchment area of an airport according to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, the Commission concludes that there is no duplication between them.
Komisija glede na navedeno oceno ugotavlja, da je pomoč, ki je bila v obdobju 2007–2009 dodeljena romunskim letališčem Arad, Bacău, Baia Mare, Craiova, Iași, Oradea, Satu Mare, Sibiu, Suceava, Tulcea in Constanța, združljiva z notranjim trgom v skladu s členom 107(3)(c) Pogodbe.
Based on the above, the Commission finds that the aid to Oradea airport contributed to a well-defined objective of common interest by increasing mobility and accessibility in the area where the airport is located.
Ta ocena nikakor na vpliva na morebitno prihodnjo oceno Komisije kakršne koli morebitne pomoči, dodeljene navedenim letališčem po 4. aprilu 2014, saj bi bilo treba kakršno koli tako pomoč ocenjevati glede na merila, ki se razlikujejo od meril, uporabljenih pri teh ukrepih [46].
Need for State intervention, appropriateness of State aid as a policy instrument, existence of an incentive effect, proportionality of the aid amount
SKLEPNA UGOTOVITEV
As regards necessity of the aid, point 116 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines requires that the operating aid brings about a material improvement that the market itself cannot deliver.
Finančna sredstva, ki so jih romunski javni organi v obdobju 2007–2009 dodelili letališčem Arad, Bacău, Baia Mare, Craiova, Iași, Oradea, Satu Mare, Sibiu, Suceava, Tulcea in Constanța, pomenijo nezakonito državno pomoč, ki je združljiva z notranjim trgom v skladu s členom 107(3)(c) PDEU.
This is the case if, absent the aid in question, the Romanian airports in question would likely have been forced to exit the market, depriving Romania's regions of a transport infrastructure which plays a significant role in its accessibility and development, or reduce their activity to a significant extent.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
According to the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, smaller airports may have difficulties in ensuring the financing of their operation without public funding.
Člen 1
According to point 118 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, airports with annual passenger traffic below 200000 passengers per annum may not be able to cover their operating costs to a large extent.
Javno financiranje, ki ga je Romunija v obdobju 2007–2009 zagotovila letališčem Arad, Bacău, Baia Mare, Craiova, Iași, Oradea, Satu Mare, Sibiu, Suceava, Tulcea in Constanța ter je znašalo 490401,3 tisoč RON, pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije, ki je bila uvedena v nasprotju s členom 108(3) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
In this sense, the Commission notes that traffic at the eleven airports subject to this assessment was below 200000 passengers in the period 2007-2009.
Državna pomoč iz odstavka 1 je združljiva z notranjim trgom v smislu člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije.
According to point 124 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, operating aid has an incentive effect if it is likely that, in the absence of the 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.
Člen 2
In the present case, absent the aid the activity of the beneficiaries would have been significantly reduced if not terminated altogether due to uncovered losses.
Ta sklep je naslovljen na Romunijo.
According to point 125 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, in order to be proportionate, operating aid to airports must be limited to the minimum necessary for the aided activity to take place.
V Bruslju, 27. septembra 2016
The measures under investigation were limited to the minimum necessary to offset losses and allow the airports to continue to operate viably.
Za Komisijo
Avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade
UL C 207, 13.7.2011, str. 3.
As set out in recital 24 above, the only airports subject to the present assessment for which another airport is present within 100 km or 60 minutes travelling time by road, train or high-speed train are Arad, Baia Mare, Satu Mare, Constanța and Oradea.
Letališča kategorije D, tj. letališča z manj kot 1 milijonom potnikov, kot je opredeljeno v Smernicah iz leta 2005 o financiranju letališč in zagonski državni pomoči letalskim družbam z odhodi z regionalnih letališč (UL C 312, 9.12.2005, str.
As explained in recital 128 above, for all the other airports, the Commission considers that the aid contributed to maintaining in operation infrastructure necessary to the mobility of citizens and accessibility of the regions where those airports are located, given in particular the poor quality of the road and rail infrastructure.
1).
Therefore, for those airports, the aid contributed to the furtherance of an objective of common interest for the Union and did not give rise to undue distortions of competition.
Formalni postopek preiskave se nanaša na priglašeno shemo javnega financiranja za podpiranje razvoja infrastrukture na majhnih regionalnih letališčih ter javno financiranje za kritje izgub iz poslovanja, dodeljeno nekaterim letališčem.
The Commission notes that in the period under assessment, Arad airport had very limited traffic, both in absolute terms and compared with Timișoara airport (situated at 50 km and 40 minutes travelling time).
Glej opombo 1.
The number of passengers per year at Arad airport varied between 67183 and 128835 in the period under assessment, whereas traffic at Timișoara airport varied between 859329 to 991758 passengers per year.
Odločba Komisije 2005/842/ES z dne 28. novembra 2005 o uporabi člena 86(2) Pogodbe ES za državne pomoči v obliki nadomestila za javne storitve, dodeljene nekaterim podjetjem, pooblaščenim za opravljanje storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena (UL L 312, 29.11.2005, str. 67).
Traffic at Arad airport represented only 7,8 % of the traffic at Timișoara airport in 2007, 14,5 % in 2008 and 8,8 % in 2009.
UL C 99, 4.4.2014, str. 3.
The competitive impact of the aid received by Arad airport on Timișoara airport has been very limited in view of the difference in traffic level between the two airports [44].
Glej opombo 2.
More generally, the overall competitive effects of the aid have been necessarily modest in view of the small traffic at the airport.
Državne pomoči – Romunija – Državna pomoč SA.31662 (11/C) (ex CP 237/10) – Mednarodno letališče Temišvar – Wizz Air – Poziv k predložitvi pripomb na podlagi člena 108(2) PDEU (UL C 270, 13.9.2011, str.
In addition, the traffic evolution at the two airports does not seem correlated.
