It is thus not an additional, independent condition concerning the acquisition of goods or services that the Region added to the design of its scheme in order to produce an effect other than the main expected effect of the scheme, namely the increase in air traffic to Sardinia.
Letna razdelitev financiranja po upravljavcih letališč za dejavnosti 1 in 2
In the light of the foregoing, the Commission concludes that activities 1, 2 and 3 do not confer an indirect advantage on airport operators.
Financiranje dejavnosti 1 in 2
Since one of the cumulative conditions for the presence of State aid is not fulfilled, the Commission also concludes that activities 1 and 2 do not constitute State aid.
Del financiranja dejavnosti, prejetega od Sardinije (v %)
For the reasons set out above, it is concluded that the airport operators concerned did not receive State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Komisija bo te odstotke odštela od zneska sredstev, ki ga je posamezni upravljavec letališča zagotovil letalskim prevoznikom, upravičenim do financiranja, kot je prikazano v preglednici 15, da bi dobila znesek, ki ga je treba izterjati od posameznega letališča in posamezne letalske družbe.
LAWFULNESS OF THE AID TO THE AIRLINES
Okvirni zneski, ki jih mora Italija izterjati od različnih letalskih prevoznikov, so navedeni v preglednici 19 in temeljijo na informacijah, ki so bile dane na voljo Komisiji.
The measures were notified to the Commission on 30 November 2011.
Preglednica 19
However, Italy implemented the scheme without the Commission having approved it.
Okvirni zneski, ki jih je treba izterjati od letalskih prevoznikov
Financing pursuant to Law 10/2010 was provided from the Region to airport operators and from airport operators to airlines throughout the period 2010-2013 [118].
SKUPNI ZNESEK, KI GA JE TREBA IZTERJATI
In addition, no block exemption regulation covers the scheme at stake.
Še ni določeno.
In particular, the SGEI Decision is not applicable as the financing of airlines under the scheme cannot be considered as compensation for a genuine SGEI entrusted to airlines [119].
Da bi se upoštevala dejanska prednost, ki so jo lahko izkoristili letalski prevozniki, se lahko zneski, navedeni v preglednici 19, prilagodijo v skladu z dokazili, ki jih je predložila Italija, zlasti točnim datumom vseh plačil.
Thus, Italy has not complied with its obligations under Article 108 of the Treaty and therefore the financing of airlines under the scheme is considered as unlawful pursuant to Article 108(3) of the Treaty.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 353, se za namene uporabe pravil o državni pomoči v tem primeru družbi AMS in Ryanair štejeta za eno podjetje.
The burden of proof regarding the compatibility of aid with the internal market, by way of derogation from Article 107(1) of the Treaty, is borne principally by the Member State concerned.
Poleg tega bi morala Italija znesku pomoči prišteti obresti za vračilo, izračunane od datuma, ko je bila nezakonita pomoč na voljo upravičencu, do datuma njenega vračila [129], v skladu poglavjem V Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 [130].
Italy notes [120] that Law 10/2010 has not been conceived as a scheme to support start-up routes and that the scheme does not fulfil all the compatibility criteria for start-up aid as defined in Article 79 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines.
FINANCIRANJE, KI SO GA UPRAVLJAVCI LETALIŠČ ZAGOTOVILI LETALSKIM DRUŽBAM V ZVEZI Z DEJAVNOSTMI 1 IN 2 (ZAKON ŠT. 10 IZ LETA 2010) V OBDOBJU 2010–2013 – OBSTOJ DRŽAVNE POMOČI V KORIST LETALSKIM DRUŽBAM
Italy nevertheless suggests that the Commission should, in this case, apply point 81 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines, which states that ‘The Commission may carry out a case-by-case assessment of aid or a scheme which fails to fully comply with these criteria [those of point 79], but the end result of which would be comparable.’ [121].
Italija je nezakonito izvedla pomoč, ki se je letalskim družbam, ki uporabljata zadevni letališči, v skladu z zakonom št. 10 iz leta 2010 zagotovila za financiranje dejavnosti 1 in 2 v obdobju 2010–2013, pri čemer je kršila člen 108(3) Pogodbe.
APPLICABLE LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Pomoč, ki se je letalskim družbam, ki uporabljata zadevni letališči, v skladu z zakonom št. 10 iz leta 2010 zagotovila za financiranje dejavnosti 1 in 2 v obdobju 2010–2013, ni združljiva z notranjim trgom.
As regards start-up aid, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines state that ‘As regards start-up aid to airlines, the Commission will apply the principles set out in these guidelines to all notified start-up aid measures in respect of which it is called upon to take a decision from 4 April 2014, even where the measures were notified prior to that date.
Italija bi morala zagotoviti, da se sprejmejo vsi nacionalni ukrepi za zagotovitev, da prejemniki pomoči vrnejo to neupravičeno prejeto prednost.
Accordingly, it will not apply the principles set out in these guidelines in the case of unlawful start-up aid to airlines granted before 4 April 2014’ [122].
Komisija meni, da v skladu s shemo, vzpostavljeno z zakonom št. 10 iz leta 2010 v obdobju 2010–2013, zadevni trije upravljavci letališč SOGEAAL, SOGAER in GEASAR niso prejeli državne pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe v skladu s shemo, vzpostavljeno z zakonom št. 10 iz leta 2010 v obdobju 2010–2013 –
The 2005 Aviation Guidelines, in turn, stipulate that ‘the Commission will assess the compatibility of (…) start-up aid granted without its authorisation and which therefore infringes Article 88(3) of the Treaty [now Article 108(3) of the Treaty], on the basis of these guidelines if payment of the aid started after the guidelines were published in the Official Journal of the European Union’ [123].
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
The regional financing was granted between 2010 and 2013, before the publication of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines.
Člen 1
Therefore the Commission will apply the 2005 Aviation Guidelines for the assessment of the financial compensation provided by airport operators to airline companies for the financing of activities 1 and 2 (Law 10/2010) in the period 2010-2013.
Shema, ki jo je Italija vzpostavila z zakonom št. 10 iz leta 2010, pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 107(1) Pogodbe v korist družb Ryanair/AMS, easyJet, Air Berlin, Meridiana, Alitalia, Air Italy, Volotea, Wizzair, Norwegian, JET2.COM, Niki, Tourparade, Germanwings, Air Baltic in Vueling, kolikor se nanaša na dejavnosti navedenih letalskih prevoznikov na letališču Cagliari-Elmas in letališču Olbia.
ASSESSMENT OF THE COMPATIBILITY OF THE FINANCIAL COMPENSATION PROVIDED BY AIRPORT OPERATORS TO AIRLINE COMPANIES FOR THE FINANCING OF ACTIVITIES 1 AND 2 (LAW 10/2010) IN THE PERIOD 2010-2013
Državno pomoč iz odstavka 2 je Italija izvedla v nasprotju s členom 108(3) Pogodbe.
Considering that the compatibility conditions for start-up aid enshrined in point 79 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines are cumulative, it is only necessary to demonstrate that one of those conditions is not fulfilled in order to find that the aid to the airlines is not compatible.
Državna pomoč iz odstavka 2 ni združljiva z notranjim trgom.
Nevertheless, the Commission will review several criteria set out in the 2005 Aviation Guidelines to assess the compatibility of the aid measures at hand.
Člen 2
Point 79(d) of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines requires the long-term viability and degressiveness of the measure at stake: ‘the route receiving the aid must ultimately prove profitable, i.e. it must at least cover its costs, without public funding.
Italija od upravičencev zahteva vračilo državne pomoči iz člena 1(2).
For this reason start-up aid must be degressive and of limited duration’.
Ob upoštevanju, da družbi Ryanair in AMS za namene tega sklepa sestavljata en gospodarski subjekt, sta skupaj odgovorni za vračilo državne pomoči, ki jo je prejela katera od njiju.
The activities defined under Law 10/2010 have never been defined to target the long-term viability of the routes in question and nothing in the system established by Law 10/2010 ensures that the aid amount is degressive over the period 2010-2013 [124].
Zneskom, ki jih je treba izterjati, se prištejejo obresti za obdobje od dneva, ko so bili dani na voljo upravičencem, do njihove dejanske izterjave.
There is no indication that the routes concerned would become profitable for the airlines without the public funding.
Obresti se izračunajo na podlagi obrestnoobrestnega računa v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 in Uredbo Komisije (ES) št. 271/2008 o spremembi Uredbe (ES) št. 794/2004.
Point 79(e) of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines adds the criterion of compensation for additional start-up costs: ‘the amount of aid must be strictly linked to the additional start-up costs incurred in launching the new route or frequency and which the air operator will not have to bear once it is up and running’.
Italija prekliče vsa neporavnana plačila pomoči iz člena 1(2) z začetkom od datuma sprejetja tega sklepa.
The regional financing is not related to specific start-up costs and nothing in the system established by Law 10/2010 ensures that the aid amount is limited to such costs.
Člen 3
Italy has never adduced any evidence to show that the funding provided by the Region with respect to activities 1 and 2 was calculated on the basis of the airlines' start-up costs or limited to such costs.
Vračilo pomoči iz člena 1(2) je takojšnje in učinkovito.
The Region, by financing airport operators, intended to develop air traffic through the opening of new routes, increasing the frequencies on existing routes, and the de-seasonality of existing routes and to improve regional development and tourism through marketing actions undertaken by airlines.
Italija zagotovi izvršitev tega sklepa v štirih mesecih od datuma uradnega obvestila o tem sklepu.
The Region thus never intended to compensate airlines for additional start-up costs.
Člen 4
Therefore this criterion is not fulfilled.
Italija v dveh mesecih od datuma uradnega obvestila o tem sklepu predloži naslednje informacije:
In addition, point 79(f) of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines sets out conditions of intensity and duration: ‘The amount of aid in any 1 year may not exceed 50 % of total eligible costs for that year and total aid may not exceed an average of 30 % of eligible costs.’
seznam upravičencev, ki so prejeli pomoč v skladu s shemo pomoči iz člena 1(2), in skupni znesek pomoči, ki ga je vsak od njih prejel v skladu s shemo,
At no point has Italy mentioned the concept of ‘eligible costs’ as explained in the Guidelines nor any thresholds for such costs.
skupni znesek (glavnica in obresti vračila), ki jih je treba izterjati od posameznega upravičenca,
Airport operators presented their plans of activities to the Region with an indication of the total amount of the costs incurred for the implementation of the measures.
natančen opis ukrepov, ki so že sprejeti in načrtovani za uskladitev s tem sklepom,
The Region then decided the amount to be granted to each airport operator per year, but that amount was never limited to 50 % of the costs incurred for 1 year.
dokumente, ki dokazujejo, da se je od upravičencev zahtevalo vračilo pomoči.
There is no evidence that the regional spending in respect of activities 1 and 2 amounted to twice the amount of the aid.
Italija obvešča Komisijo o napredku glede sprejetih nacionalnih ukrepov za izvajanje tega sklepa, dokler se vračanje pomoči iz člena 2 ne konča.
Point 79(h) of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines adds the criterion of the non-discriminatory allocation: ‘any public body which plans to grant start-up aid to an airline for a new route, whether or not via an airport, must make its plans public in good time and with adequate publicity to enable all interested airlines to offer their services.
Na zahtevo Komisije takoj predloži vse informacije o že sprejetih in načrtovanih ukrepih za uskladitev s tem sklepom.
The notification must in particular include the description of the route as well as the objective criteria in terms of the amount and the duration of the aid.
Zagotovi tudi podrobne informacije o zneskih pomoči in obrestih, ki so jih upravičenci že povrnili.
The rules and principles relating to public procurement and concessions must be respected where applicable’.
Člen 5
Neither the Region nor the airport operators organised proper tenders complying with the public procurement rules to select the airlines in charge of the implementation of activities 1 and 2.
Ta sklep je naslovljen na Italijansko republiko.
The Commission has not been informed of any tender organised by airport operators and, according to Italy, airlines have been selected on the basis of the most attractive commercial offers submitted to airport operators upon publication of notices on their websites.
V Bruslju, 29. julija 2016
Therefore the Commission considers that point 81 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines cannot be applied in this case, as several of the criteria in point 79 are not fulfilled.
Za Komisijo
Compliance with those criteria is essential for start-up aid to be considered compatible.
Članica Komisije
Since the compatibility criteria in point 79 are not fulfilled, the aid is not compatible with the internal market.
UL C 152, 30.5.2013, str. 30.
The financial compensation provided by airport operators to airline companies for the financing of activities 1 and 2 under Law 10/2010 in the period 2010-2013 cannot be considered compatible with the internal market, as the compatibility criteria referred to in point 79 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines are not fulfilled.
Uredba Sveta (EU) 2015/1589 z dne 13. julija 2015 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 108 Pogodbe o delovanju Evropske unije (UL L 248, 24.9.2015, str. 9).
The State aid granted to airlines by the Region therefore constitutes unlawful State aid which is incompatible with the internal market.
Smernice o državni pomoči letališčem in letalskim prevoznikom (UL C 99, 4.4.2014, str. 3).
RECOVERY
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).
According to the Treaty and the Court's established case-law, the Commission has power to require the Member State concerned to abolish or alter aid when it has found that that aid to be incompatible with the internal market [125].
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 Court has also consistently held that the obligation on a Member State to abolish aid regarded by the Commission as being incompatible with the internal market is designed to re-establish the previously existing situation [126].
UL C 113, 15.4.2014, str. 30.
In this context, the Court has established that this objective is attained once the recipient has repaid the amounts granted by way of unlawful aid, thus forfeiting the advantage which it had enjoyed over its competitors on the market, and the situation prior to the payment of the aid is restored [127].
Legge Regionale 13 aprile 2010, n.
In line with the case-law, Article 16(1) of Regulation (EU) 2015/1589 states that ‘where negative decisions are taken in cases of unlawful aid, the Commission shall decide that the Member State concerned shall take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary […]’.
10 – Misure per lo sviluppo del trasporto aereo – art.
Thus, given that the measures in question were implemented in breach of Article 108 of the Treaty, and are to be considered as unlawful and incompatible aid, they must be recovered in order to re-establish the situation that existed on the market prior to their being granted.
3: Incentivi alla destagionalizzazione dei collegamenti aerei isolani.
Recovery should cover the time from when the advantage accrued to the beneficiary, that is to say when the aid was put at the disposal of the beneficiary, until effective recovery, and the sums to be recovered should bear interest until effective recovery.
Decreto Assessorato della Programmazione, Bilancio, Credito e Assetto del Territorio n.
Regarding the amounts to be recovered, the Commission will consider the amounts effectively paid by the Region and passed on by GEASAR and SOGAER to airlines throughout the period 2010-2013 for the implementation of measures 1 and 2.
122 del 17 maggio 2010.
As shown in Table 6 in recital 89, airport operators have, in practice, provided more funding than they received from the Region: airport operators have been undercompensated by the Region since they must pay the financial interest on the financial advances received [128] and since regional contributions for 2014 have not yet been paid to Cagliari and Olbia airport operators.

Part of the financing of the activities received from the Region (%)
Glej uvodno izjavo 44.
The Commission will apply these percentages to the level of funding provided by each airport operator to the beneficiary airlines as shown in Table 15 in order to get the amount to be recovered per airport and per airline company.
Od leta 2000 so se v skladu s predpisi Unije glede zračnega prevoza uvedle obveznosti javne službe na notranjih rutah med sardinskimi letališči in letališči v celinski Italiji.

Italija v svojem sporočilu Komisiji z dne 11. septembra 2015 (uvodna izjava 14) navaja primer družbe GEASAR, ki je leta 2013 zmanjšala svoje tržne dejavnosti v primerjavi s prvotnimi napovedmi (v okviru dejavnosti 2, ki jo financira Sardinija).

To take into account the actual advantage received by the airlines, the amounts indicated in Table 19 may be adjusted, according to the supporting evidence provided by Italy, in particular the exact date for all payments.

In addition, Italy should add recovery interest to the aid amount, calculated from the date on which the unlawful aid was at the disposal of the beneficiary until the date of its recovery [129], in accordance with chapter V of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 [130].

FUNDING PROVIDED BY AIRPORT OPERATORS TO AIRLINE COMPANIES IN RESPECT OF ACTIVITIES 1 AND 2 (LAW 10/2010) IN THE PERIOD 2010-2013 — EXISTENCE OF STATE AID IN FAVOUR OF AIRLINE COMPANIES
7641 rep. n.
Italy unlawfully implemented the aid provided to airline companies operating at the two airports concerned, pursuant to Law 10/2010, for the financing of activities 1 and 2 throughout the period 2010-2013, in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty.
694 del 2 ottobre 2012.
The aid provided to airline companies operating at the airports concerned, pursuant to Law 10/2010, for the financing of activities 1 and 2 throughout the period 2010-2013 is incompatible with the internal market.
Ta znesek je enak prispevku, ki ga določi Sardinija, od katerega so se odšteli 4 % provizije za zadržanje in finančni prispevek, ki je že bil dodeljen upravljavcu letališča.
The incompatible aid should be recovered from airline companies, which operated at Olbia and Cagliari airports and benefitted from financing of activities 1 and 2 pursuant to Law 10/2010.
Italija je Komisiji predložila preglednice s končnim zneskom, ki ga je dodelila Sardinija.
