FLG could have fulfilled its obligations under the contract without investing in an expansion of the airport.
Komisija je z dopisom z dne 5. julija 2011 Nemčiji poslala tretji opomin v skladu s členom 10(3) Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999 in ji dala možnost, da zagotovi podatke o preostalih vprašanjih do 15. julija 2011.
In the light of those considerations, the Commission concludes that Germany's approach not to attribute investments made at Lübeck airport to the agreement with Ryanair is reasonable.
Nemčija je odgovorila z dopisom z dne 15. julija 2011.
Having analysed the information provided by Germany, the Commission disagrees however on one point of the analysis and amends it accordingly.
V odgovor je Nemčija v dopisu z dne 14. marca 2012 zaprosila Komisijo, da počrni nekatere podatke v sklepu o začetku postopka iz leta 2012.
The 2000 Agreement sets out as its end date 30 May 2010.
Komisija je delno ugodila prošnji z dopisom z dne 20. marca 2012 in pojasnila, da se ni mogla strinjati s počrnitvijo nekaterih podatkov.
Germany took into account incremental costs and revenues for the years 2011 and 2012 when calculating the incremental profitability of the 2000 Agreement.
Nemčija je nato izpodbijala stališče Komisije glede zaupnosti v dopisu z dne 3. aprila 2012.
The Commission considers that it is appropriate to take only into account the incremental costs and revenues generated over the duration of the contract.
Komisija je Nemčiji dne 25. aprila 2012 poslala dopis glede te zadeve, v katerem je predložila še eno različico sklepa o začetku postopka iz leta 2012 in nadaljnje utemeljitve.
In view of this necessary amendment, the Commission has carried out its own analysis by using directly the incremental profitability analysis submitted by Germany and amending this analysis where necessary as summarised in Tables 14, 15 and 16:
Po več dopisih med družbo Ryanair, Komisijo in Nemčijo je družba Ryanair 27. aprila 2012 predložila seznam prošenj za odstranitev zaupnih podatkov in poleg tega kritizirala postopkovna vprašanja.
Table 14
Poleg tega je Nemčija 30. aprila 2012 posredovala Komisiji dodatne prošnje družbe Ryanair za počrnitev nekaterih podatkov.
Table 15
Počrnjena različica sklepa o začetku postopka iz leta 2012 je bila poslana družbi Ryanair 29. junija 2012.
Table 16
V skladu z zahtevo Komisije z dne 7. februarja 2012 je družba Ryanair predložila pripombe v dopisu z dne 13. aprila 2012.
The Commission has taken out the revenues and operating costs expected for the years 2011 and 2012, as in those years, the 2000 Agreement was expected to have expired already (see Tables 14 and 15).
Komisija je te pripombe posredovala Nemčiji 27. junija 2012.
The Commission relied instead on the revenues and operating costs expected for the years 2000-2010, resulting in the revenues and operating costs presented in Table 16.
Nemčija je podala pripombe na navedbe družbe Ryanair v dopisu z dne 10. septembra 2012.
As to the marketing costs, the Commission calculated the average marketing costs per passenger that could have been expected in the best case and in the worst case scenario according to the information provided by Germany.
V dopisu z dne 24. februarja 2012 je Komisija zaprosila Nemčijo, naj posreduje več podatkov o zadevah v 20 dneh.
It then multiplied the average marketing costs per passenger with the number of passengers that could have been expected for the years 2000-2010, resulting in an expected marketing costs of EUR […] in the best case scenario, and EUR […] in the worst case scenario (see Table 16).
Nemčija je 19. marca 2012 zaprosila za podaljšanje roka do 20. aprila 2012.
Finally, while the ex ante analysis undertaken by FLG and submitted by Germany did not discount the future payments to the date on which the contract was concluded, it is clear from the figures provided that the contract was expected to be profitable.
Komisija je v dopisu z dne 21. marca 2012 odobrila podaljšanje roka do 17. aprila 2012.
In addition to the data provided by Germany, Oxera has submitted a profitability analysis of the 2000 Agreement [74].
Nemčija je zahtevane podatke predložila 17. aprila 2012.
Oxera used outturn data, i.e. data on the actual costs and revenues incurred, from the period prior to the agreement, where possible, to deduct assumptions about FLG's expectations at the time of signing the agreement.
V dopisu z dne 18. aprila 2012 je Komisija navedla, da so podatki, ki jih je posredovala Nemčija, nepopolni, in zahtevala, da se manjkajoči podatki predložijo do 28. aprila 2012.
Oxera calculated passenger numbers based on outturn data up until the point of signing the agreement.
Komisija je tudi navedla, da bo v primeru neizpolnjevanja obveznosti izdana odredba o predložitvi podatkov v skladu s členom 10(3) Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999.
The NPV of the 2000 Agreement with Ryanair was estimated to be EUR […].
Sklep o začetku postopka iz leta 2012 je bil objavljen v Uradnem listu 10. avgusta 2012 [15].
Therefore the agreement was expected to be profitable.
Vse zainteresirane strani so imele možnost, da predložijo pripombe o sklepu v enem mesecu.
Oxera calculated the NPV without attributing investment costs to the 2000 Ryanair agreement.
Družba Ryanair je v dopisih z dne 16. avgusta 2012 in 22. avgusta 2012 zaprosila za podaljšanje roka do 24. septembra 2012.
This is in line with the Commission's finding (see recitals 316 to 320) that investments made at Lübeck airport did not have to be attributed to the 2000 Agreement.
Družba Wizz Air je 24. septembra zaprosila za podaljšanje roka do 24. avgusta 2012.
The Commission notes that Oxera used ex ante available data for the calculation of passenger numbers, aeronautical revenues and marketing charges but based its assessment of non-aeronautical revenues and operating costs on ex post data.
Družba Infratil je 31. avgusta 2012 zaprosila za podaljšanje roka do 10. oktobra 2012.
Oxera stated that it did not have access to ex ante projections of non-aeronautical revenues and operating costs.
Mesto Lübeck in družba FLG sta Komisijo 5. septembra 2012 zaprosila za podaljšanje roka do 10. oktobra 2012.
The Commission notes that only revenues and costs that the airport expected to incur ex ante, at the time when it entered into the agreement with the respective airline, can be taken into account for assessing whether such agreement was in line with the MEO principle.
Združenje Bundesverband der deutschen Verkehrsflughäfen (v nadaljnjem besedilu: ADV) [16] je 7. septembra 2012 zaprosilo za podaljšanje roka do 10. oktobra 2012.
An assessment partially based on ex post data can, however, serve to support the validation of the assumptions taken to determine the ex ante expected revenues and costs.
Istega dne je Komisija odobrila prošnje za podaljšanje družb Ryanair, Wizz Air, združenja ADV in mesta Lübeck ter družb FLG in Infratil.
Indeed, the ex ante data reconstructed by Oxera as regards aeronautic revenues (EUR […]) lies between the ex ante expected aeronautic revenues of FLG submitted by Germany in the best case (EUR […]) and the worst case scenario (EUR […]).
Dne 10. septembra 2012 sta družba Flughafen Hamburg GmbH (v nadaljnjem besedilu: letališče Hamburg) in Landesregierung (deželna vlada) zvezne dežele Schleswig-Holstein zaprosili Komisijo za podaljšanje roka za predložitev pripomb do 10. oktobra 2012.
The ex ante data reconstructed by Oxera as regards marketing costs (EUR […]) is even lower than the one submitted by Germany: FLG expected ex ante marketing costs of EUR […] in the best case and of EUR […] in the worst case.
Komisija je naslednji dan odobrila podaljšanje.
This confirms that the ex ante expectation of FLG was sufficiently conservative.
Z dopisom z dne 8. oktobra 2012 je mesto Lübeck poslalo svoje pripombe Komisiji.
The information provided by Germany indicates that FLG could have expected a positive incremental return on the 2000 Agreement.
Dne 10. oktobra 2012 so Komisiji svoje pripombe posredovali združenje ADV ter družbe FLG, Infratil in Wizz Air, vključno s poročilom družbe Oxera.
The assumptions on which that expectation were based appear reasonable.
Nemčija je v odgovor posredovala podatke 27. marca 2014.
This is supported by the fact that the expected growth of passenger numbers was outperformed by the real growth during the years 2000-2005.
Družba Wizz Air je posredovala dodatne navedbe Komisiji 30. aprila 2014, Nemčija pa 12. maja 2014.
The limits to the growth of the passenger number were largely due to the impossibility to obtain the planning approval and to enlarge the airport, which were not foreseeable at the time of the conclusion of the 2000 Agreement.
Z dopisi z dne 2. septembra 2014, 12. septembra 2014 in 26. septembra 2014 je družba Ryanair predložila dodatna poročila, ki jih je pripravila družba Oxera o nedavnem pristopu Komisije v zvezi z načelom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
The expectations of FLG are supported by the study provided by Oxera.
ENOTNI POSTOPEK GLEDE SA.21877, SA.27585 IN SA.31149
(329) It could therefore have been reasonably expected that the 2000 Agreement with Ryanair would be incrementally profitable for FLG.
Nemčija je 6. oktobra 2014 Komisijo zaprosila za podaljšanje roka za predložitev zahtevanih podatkov do 30. novembra 2014.
Consequently, an MEO would have entered into the agreement, since it incrementally contributed, from an ex ante point of view, to the profitability of the airport.
Komisija je rok podaljšala do 17. novembra 2014.
Similarly, in view of the clearly positive contribution the 2000 Agreement can also be considered to be part of the implementation of an overall strategy to lead to profitability at least in the long term.
Komisija je 21. novembra 2014 poslala Nemčiji opomin, naj predloži manjkajoče podatke do 3. decembra 2014.
The 2000 Agreement between FLG and Ryanair therefore does not confer an economic advantage that Ryanair would not have obtained under normal market conditions.
Komisija je navedla, da bo v primeru neupoštevanja opomina izdana odredba o predložitvi podatkov v skladu s členom 10(3) Uredbe (ES) št. 659/1999.
Therefore, it does not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Nemčija je zahtevane podatke predložila 3. decembra 2014.
This finding is without any prejudice to the assessment of whether the 2010 Agreements involved State aid to Ryanair.
Po telekonferenci dne 18. decembra 2014 je Nemčija predložila dodatne podatke 12. januarja 2015 in 14. januarja 2015.
CHARGES FOR THE DE-ICING OF AIRCRAFTS
V elektronskem sporočilu z dne 20. aprila 2015 je Komisija zahtevala dodatne podatke o družbi Yasmina Flughafenmanagement GmbH (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Yasmina) [17], ki je upravljala letališče Lübeck v letih 2013 in 2014.
Selectivity
Dodatna vprašanja v zvezi s ceno prodajne opcije, ki jo je plačala družba Infratil, so bile posredovane Nemčiji 4. maja 2015.
To fall within the scope of Article 107(1) TFEU, a State measure must favour ‘certain undertakings or the production of certain goods’.
V elektronskem sporočilu z dne 22. maja 2015 je Komisija zaprosila družbo Oxera za pojasnila glede poročil iz septembra 2014 in februarja 2015 o donosnosti spremnih pisem iz leta 2010, ki sta ju sklenili družbi Ryanair in FLG.
Hence, only those measures favouring undertakings which grant an advantage in a selective way fall under the notion of State aid.
Komisija je prejela odgovor 28. maja 2015.
According to case law of the European Courts, it needs to be determined whether under a particular statutory scheme (the ‘system of reference’), a State measure is such as to favour ‘certain undertakings or the production of certain goods’ in comparison with other undertakings which are in a legal and factual situation that is comparable in the light of the objective pursued by the measure in question.
Odgovore je prejela 25. junija 2015 in 3. julija 2015.
A measure which differentiates between undertakings in a comparable situation would be prima facie selective.
Dne 29. junija 2015 je Komisija poslala Nemčiji dodatna vprašanja, na katera je prejela odgovore v dopisu z dne 24. julija 2015.
If a prima facie selective measure is justified by the nature or general scheme of the system, it will not be considered selective and will thus fall outside the scope of Article 107(1) TFEU [75].
Mesto Lübeck je predlagalo delno razveljavitev sklepa o začetku postopka iz leta 2012.
The Commission therefore has to undertake a three-step-analysis: First, the system of reference needs to be determined.
Splošno sodišče je razveljavilo sklep o začetku postopka iz leta 2012 v zvezi s seznamom letaliških pristojbin za letališče Lübeck, ki je bil sprejet leta 2006 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: seznam pristojbin iz leta 2006) [18].
Second, it should be determined whether a given measure constitutes a derogation from that system insofar as it differentiates between economic operators who, in light of the objectives intrinsic to the system, are in a comparable factual and legal situation.
Sklep o začetku postopka iz leta 2012 je bil torej dokončno razveljavljen v zvezi s seznamom pristojbin iz leta 2006.
If such a derogation exists (and therefore the measure is prima facie selective), it needs to be established, in the third step of the test, whether the derogation is justified by the nature or the general scheme of the system.
Zato seznam pristojbin iz leta 2006 ne bo obravnavan v tem sklepu.
In the case at hand, the Commission opened the formal investigation procedure in relation to the charges for the de-icing of aircrafts.
Letališče je pričakovalo, da se bo število potnikov do leta 2015 povečalo na 2,2 milijona.
First, the Commission has to determine the system of reference under which the charges for de-icing are to be assessed.
Vendar se to ni uresničilo.
In this context, the Commission notes that the charges for de-icing of aircrafts at the airport are laid down in a scheme of special charges.
V skladu s „sporazumom o udeležbi iz leta 2005“ (Beteiligungsvertrag) je mesto Lübeck 90 % svojih delnic v družbi FLG prodalo družbi Infratil z začetkom veljavnosti 1. decembra 2005.
While such scheme of special charges is not part of the general schedule of charges for infrastructure use, the scheme of special charges has certain features in common with the general schedule of charges: the scheme of special charges sets out prices for certain services provided by the airport to airlines and prices for material needed for such services.
Preostalih 10 % je mesto Lübeck obdržalo kot manjšinski delež.
It applies to all airlines using the airport.
Prodajna pogodba je bila podpisana 14. decembra 2012 in je stopila v veljavo 1. januarja 2013.
It is adapted every few years to cater for changes in the costs of the special services.
Družba Yasmina je kupila nekatera sredstva družbe FLG.
In particular, the airport alone is competent to draw up the scheme of special charges.
Zaradi stalnih izgub letališča je družba Yasmina aprila 2014 razglasila insolventnost, kar je povzročilo začetek postopka zaradi insolventnosti 23. aprila 2014.
In its Lübeck judgment, the Court of Justice held that the 2006 schedule of charges of Lübeck airport was to be considered as reference system [76].
Letališče Lübeck je 1. avgusta 2014 prevzel kitajski vlagatelj, PuRen Germany GmbH (v nadaljnjem besedilu: PuRen).
In light of the similarities between the general schedule of charges and the scheme of special charges, the Commission concludes that the scheme of special charges at Lübeck airport has to be considered the reference framework under which the charges for de-icing of aircrafts at Lübeck airport are to be assessed.
Družba PuRen je razglasila insolventnost septembra 2015, kar je povzročilo začetek postopka zaradi insolventnosti 30. septembra 2015.
Second, the Commission has to assess whether the scheme of special charges differentiates between economic operators who are in a comparable factual and legal situation.
Dne 1. julija 2016 je letališče Lübeck prevzela družba Stöcker Flughafen GmbH Co.
The Commission observes that the scheme of special charges applies to all airlines using Lübeck airport.
KG (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Stöcker).
When using the de-icing services for aircrafts, the scheme of special charges does not differentiate between the different airlines.
V sporazumu o udeležbi iz leta 2005 je bilo predvideno, da bo mesto Lübeck 1. decembra 2005 preneslo na družbo Infratil 90 % delnic družbe FLG.
Indeed, every aircraft de-iced at Lübeck airport is subject to the same charges, which depend on the take-off weight of the aircraft as well as the amount of de-icing liquid and hot water used.
V zameno je družba Infratil plačala mestu Lübeck tako imenovano „nakupno ceno I“ [25] ter dodatnih […] EUR, kar je ustrezalo gotovinskemu kreditu, ki ga je mesto Lübeck pred tem odobrilo družbi FLG za financiranje operativnih stroškov in novih naložb.
Therefore, the charges for the de-icing of aircrafts at Lübeck airport do not derogate from the system of reference, because they do not differentiate between airlines using the airport.
Družba Ryanair in letališče Lübeck sta 29. marca 2010 podpisala spremno pismo št. 1 k sporazumu iz leta 2000, ki je zajemalo obdobje od 28. marca 2010 do 30. oktobra 2010.
The Commission concludes that the de-icing charges are, prima facie, not selective.
S spremnim pismom se je sporazum iz leta 2000 podaljšal do 30. oktobra 2010 in uvedlo se je novo spodbujevalno plačilo na potnika v višini […] EUR, ki naj bi ga družba FLG plačala družbi Ryanair poleg plačila za storitve trženja, določenega v sporazumu iz leta 2000, v višini […] EUR na potnika (manj kot 18 rotacij na teden) ali […] EUR na potnika (več kot 18 rotacij na teden).
Given that the charges for de-icing are, prima facie, not selective, there is no need to assess whether such charges are justified by the nature or the general scheme of the system.
Oktobra 2010 je bilo podpisano spremno pisno št. 2, v katerem se niso ohranili pogoji iz spremnega pisma iz marca 2010, temveč je ponovno vsebovalo seznam plačil za trženje, kakršen je bil naveden v prvotnem sporazumu iz leta 2000.
Therefore, the charges for de-icing of aircrafts do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU.
V spremnem pismu iz oktobra 2010 so bili pogoji iz sporazuma iz leta 2000 podaljšani za tri leta do 1. novembra 2013.
CONCLUSION
Nemčija je navedla, da je treba sporazum med družbo Infratil in mestom Lübeck oceniti v okviru pravnega in ekonomskega položaja letališča Lübeck leta 2009.
The Commission finds that there is no need to take a decision as to whether potential State aid to FLG constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU, and if so, whether such State aid could be declared compatible.
To vključuje nerešeni sklep o odobritvi, odprte sodne postopke, v katere je vključeno letališče, ter gospodarsko in finančno krizo.
Furthermore, even if there was economic continuity between FLG and Yasmina, it would not be possible to recover the aid from Yasmina anymore as Yasmina has been dissolved and its assets were sold in court supervised insolvency proceedings in line with German insolvency law.
V zvezi z razpoložljivimi zmogljivostmi naj ne bi bilo ozkih grl vsaj do leta 2030.
The sale of shares in FLG to Infratil in 2005 did not provide an advantage to Infratil, because Hansestadt Lübeck acted like a MEO when selling the shares.
Poleg tega naložb, zlasti sistema za instrumentalno pristajanje, ni mogoče šteti kot nadomestilo za javno storitev.
The renegotiation of the put option in 2009 and the taking over of further losses, investments and other costs, as laid down in the 2009 Additional Agreement did not provide an advantage to Infratil either.
Podreditev delničarskih posojil mesta Lübeck družbi FLG: organizacija SGF meni, da je letališče Lübeck „podjetje v težavah“, in sicer že od let 2008/2009.
In that context also Hansestadt Lübeck acted like a MEO.
V zvezi s tem je bila organizacija SGF mnenja, da je dogovor o podrejenosti pomembno orodje za preprečitev insolventnosti.
The 2000 Agreement between FLG and Ryanair would, from an ex ante point of view, have contributed to the profitability of the airport.
Schutzgemeinschaft
Consequently, a MEO would have entered into the agreement which does not provide an advantage to Ryanair.
Drugič, obveznosti mesta Lübeck za plačilo obresti na delničarska posojila v obdobju od 1. januarja 2009 do 22. oktobra 2009 ni mogoče šteti za gospodarsko prednost, saj bi družba Infratil lahko ustvarila enake ali celo višje donose iz izkupička prodajne opcije januarja 2009.
The charges for de-icing of aircrafts at the airport do not appear to be selective,
Po hipotetičnem scenariju bi družba Infratil uporabila izkupiček za odplačilo obstoječih dolgov, da bi prihranila obresti.
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Mesto Lübeck
Article 1
Po navedbah organizacije SGF je družba Infratil nedvomno pridobila prednost z dodatnim sporazumom iz leta 2009.
It is not necessary to decide whether the potential State aid to FLG constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union and if so, whether it could be declared compatible with the internal market, as the economic activity of FLG has ceased to exist, and as it is not possible anymore to recover the aid.
Glede preskusa udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu je organizacija SGF izpostavila, da ne bi smeli upoštevati pozitivnega vpliva sporazuma na regijo.
Article 2
Na tej podlagi je družba Air Berlin zaključila, da bi mesto Lübeck lahko bilo odgovorno.
The sale of 90 % of the shares of FLG to Infratil and the conditions of the put option renegotiated in 2009 do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Družba Air Berlin meni, da nekatere izjave ključnih uradnih oseb družbe FLG predstavljajo dodatne dokaze o odgovornosti za zadevni sporazum.
Article 3
Bundesverband der Deutschen Fluggesellschaften
The 2000 Agreement between Ryanair and Lübeck airport does not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Flughafen Lübeck GmbH
Article 4
Družba Ryanair je navedla, da sta spremno pismo št. 1 in spremno pismo št. 2 zgolj kratki spremni pismi, ki podaljšujeta trajanje obstoječih dogovorov po sporazumu z družbo Ryanair iz leta 2000.
The charges for the de-icing of aircrafts do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Edini novi element je poslovno dogovorjena prilagoditev podpore za trženje v spremnem pismu št. 1.
Article 5
Po navedbah družbe Oxera to velja tudi, če bi se pogodba o storitvah trženja iz leta 2010 obravnavala skupaj s spremnima pismoma iz marca in oktobra 2010.
This Decision is addressed to the Federal Republic of Germany.
Stroški trženja letališča Lübeck so bili zato vključeni v oceno.
Done at Brussels, 7 February 2017.
Družba Air Berlin je izpostavila, da so bili leta 2010 podpisani trije sporazumi: spremno pismo št. 1, spremno pismo št. 2 in pogodba o storitvah trženja iz leta 2010.
For the Commission
Komisija bi morala v svoji oceni upoštevati vse sporazume iz leta 2010.
Member of the Commission
Kar zadeva morebitno državno pomoč v korist družbe Ryanair, bo Komisija ocenila le sporazum iz leta 2000.
OJ C 287, 29.11.2007, p. 27.
Na dan tega sklepa Komisija v svojem spisu nima dovolj informacij za oceno, ali poznejši sporazumi, zlasti tisti, sklenjeni leta 2010, pomenijo državno pomoč v korist družbe Ryanair.
OJ C 295, 7.12.2007, p. 29 and OJ C 241, 10.8.2012, p. 56.
Natančneje, odstavek 613a določa: „[č]e obrat ali del obrata preide na drugega lastnika prek pravnega posla, slednji nasledi pravice in obveznosti, ki izhajajo iz delovnih razmerij, ki obstajajo v času prenosa.
