In order to provide more evidence for the compliance of its 2000 Agreement with market requirements, Ryanair conducted a comparison between airports of comparable size and situation as Lübeck airport.
ekonomska logika transakcije.
Comparator airports are Bournemouth Airport, Grenoble Airport, Knock Airport, Maastricht Airport, Nimes Airport and Prestwick Airport.
Obseg prodanih sredstev
A comparison of charges paid by Ryanair at the comparator airports showed that costs paid by Ryanair at Lübeck airport were higher in general than the average level at the comparator airports on both a per-passenger and a per-turnaround basis.
Komisija najprej ugotavlja, da popoln prevzem prodajalčevih sredstev s strani kupca načeloma lahko nakazuje na gospodarsko kontinuiteto med kupcem in prodajalcem.
Ryanair urged the Commission to consider the comparator analysis more strongly than the profitability analysis in its assessment of whether the 2000 Agreement complies with the MEO principle.
Vendar to morda ne drži, če celotna ocena pokaže, da o obsegu prodaje odloča trg.
A report compiled by Oxera calculates the net present value (‘NPV’) of the 2000 Agreement.
Na primer, če je obseg prodaje rezultat odprtega, preglednega, nediskriminatornega in brezpogojnega razpisnega postopka, lahko to nakazuje na gospodarsko diskontinuiteto.
The report finds a positive NPV of EUR […].
V tem okviru bi morali ponudniki imeti možnost prostega odločanja, ali bodo predložili ponudbo za posamezna sredstva, skupino sredstev ali vsa sredstva, ne smejo biti obvezani skleniti pogodbe s prodajalcem in morajo imeti možnost, da se svobodno odločijo, ali želijo prevzeti vse zaposlene prodajalca, nekatere zaposlene ali nobenega od njih.
Oxera conducted a number of sensitivity checks with respect to this calculation.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je bilo v objavljenem razpisu za prodajo sredstev družbe FLG določeno, da lahko ponudniki kupijo 90 % delnic družbe FLG ali uveljavijo primerljivo gospodarsko rešitev za prevzem obratovanja letališča.
Air Berlin stated that the routes offered by Ryanair from Lübeck airport are in direct competition with those offered by Air Berlin at Hamburg airport.
To je ponudnikom omogočilo, da predložijo ponudbe za delnice družbe FLG, za pridobitev sredstev ali svežnjev sredstev ali da poiščejo drugo gospodarsko rešitev, kot je zakup sredstev.
In particular, the destinations of London, Milan and Barcelona are concerned, since both airlines have them in their portfolio.
To je bilo potrjeno v informacijskem memorandumu, ki je bil predložen vsem zainteresiranim ponudnikom pred prijavo interesa.
Air Berlin argued that the purpose of Ryanair's marketing strategy was to poach potential clients of, amongst others, Air Berlin.
Zato je bilo zainteresiranim ponudnikom jasno, da lahko predložijo ponudbo za nakup delnic ali sredstev ali svežnjev sredstev.
Due to the low prices of Ryanair, customers moved from Hamburg to Lübeck airport.
Dejansko sta izmed petih ponudnikov, ki so predložili okvirno ponudbo, dva ponudnika predložila ponudbo za nakup sredstev, drugi pa za nakup delnic.
Air Berlin claims that as a result of the State aid, Air Berlin suffered substantial economic losses.
Dva izmed treh ponudnikov, ki so predložili zavezujočo ponudbo, sta predložila ponudbo za nakup sredstev, eden pa za nakup delnic.
Air Berlin had to discontinue some of its flights due to the parallel offer by Ryanair at Lübeck airport.
3Y, holding družbe Yasmina, je ponudil najvišjo ceno za prevzem svežnja sredstev.
In addition, Air Berlin stated that it finds it difficult to open new destinations from Hamburg airport as long as similar destinations are offered by Ryanair from Lübeck airport for excessively low prices.
Po navedbah Nemčije je glede na skupno knjigovodsko vrednost sredstev v primerjavi z vrednostjo prevzetih sredstev družba Yasmina prevzela približno […] % sredstev družbe FLG.
Furthermore, Air Berlin referred to the closure of Lübeck airport for 6 days from 19 April 2004 to support its arguments that Ryanair paid unfairly low charges and that there was competition between Lübeck and Hamburg.
Sredstva, ki niso bila kupljena, pa so med drugim vključevala […].
During the time of closure, Ryanair had to move its traffic from Lübeck airport to Hamburg airport.
Komisija ugotavlja, da sta bili za predmete, ki niso bili kupljeni, sklenjeni dve zakupni pogodbi med družbo Yasmina in mestom Lübeck.
As a result of the higher airport charges at Hamburg airport, Ryanair incurred additional costs of EUR […], for which Ryanair billed FLG.
Prva se je nanašala na letališko infrastrukturo in zemljišča, ki so bila predmet zakupne pogodbe med družbo FLG in mestom Lübeck pred prodajo.
Therefore, Air Berlin stressed that Ryanair already obtained an advantage of EUR […] over airlines operating at Hamburg airport within 6 days.
To zakupno pogodbo je prevzela družba Yasmina.
Air Berlin further supported its argument by offering a table of passenger numbers and flights before (until 1999) and after (from 2000) Ryanair commenced its operation at Lübeck airport:
Druga se je nanašala na preostala sredstva letališča, ki so bila prenesena z družbe FLG na mesto Lübeck, ko je mesto Lübeck prevzelo družbo FLG.
Table 7
Dejstvo, da je bila družba FLG prodana z odkupom sredstev in da kupec ni kupil velikega deleža sredstev, kaže na neobstoj gospodarske kontinuitete.
Air Berlin table of passenger numbers and flights
Po drugi strani pa je družba Yasmina zakupila sredstva, ki niso bila predmet nakupa od mesta Lübeck, kar kaže, da je družba Yasmina zaradi postopka javnega razpisa lahko uporabljala vsa sredstva.
Passenger numbers (persons)
To pa kaže na obstoj gospodarske kontinuitete.
Movement of airplanes
V zvezi z delovno silo je bilo v prodajni pogodbi navedeno, da naj bi družba Yasmina prevzela delavce v skladu z odstavkom 613a nemškega civilnega zakonika (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, v nadaljnjem besedilu: BGB).
According to Table 7, there was a significant increase in passenger numbers in 2000, when Ryanair started offering flights from the airport.
Odstavek 613a BGB temelji na Direktivi Sveta 2001/23/ES [39].
Air Berlin stated that 97 % of those passengers can be attributed to Ryanair.
V tem odstavku so določene pravice in obveznosti v primeru prenosa obrata.
This is put in perspective with the losses made by FLG before (until 1999) and after (from 2000) Ryanair commenced its operation at Lübeck airport:
Na podlagi te pravne določbe so bili delavci obveščeni o prenosu in prevzem se je izvedel, če ni bilo nobenih pripomb.
Table 8
V tem primeru je imela družba FLG […] zaposlenih, od katerih je […] nasprotovalo prevzemu.
Air Berlin table of FLG losses
Ti […] zaposleni so bili preneseni v zaposlitev pri mestu Lübeck.
Losses (in EUR)
Prenos sredstev ni vključeval nobenega pogoja, ki bi presegal pravne obveznosti, kot je na primer pogoj o številu zaposlenih, ki bi jih bilo treba prevzeti, ali obveznosti ohranitve delavcev, ki bi presegala običajne pogodbene obveznosti po delovnem pravu.
On the basis of Tables 7 and 8, Air Berlin argued that, even though the passenger numbers almost doubled between 2002 and 2003, losses increased in that time period by more than EUR […].
Edina pogodbena določba, povezana z delavci, je opomnik o veljavnem delovnem pravu; na splošno dejstvo, da je bila prenesena večina delavcev, ne kaže nujno na gospodarsko kontinuiteto [41].
In addition, Air Berlin specified that FLG granted Ryanair preferential conditions, rebates as well as refunds and other payments.
Vendar glede na to, da je družbi Yasmina prodaja dela sredstev v kombinaciji z dvema zakupnima pogodbama o preostalih sredstvih omogočala uporabo vseh sredstev, ki so bila pred tem v lasti in uporabi družbe FLG, obseg prodanih sredstev kaže na obstoj gospodarske kontinuitete.
The fees paid by Ryanair for using Lübeck Airport were below the fees laid down in the then applicable schedule of charges.
Prodajna cena
Furthermore, Air Berlin stated that Ryanair was providing marketing service not depending on marketing costs.
Da bi se izognili gospodarski kontinuiteti, je treba sredstva prodati po tržni ceni, na primer prek odprtega, preglednega, nediskriminatornega in brezpogojnega razpisnega postopka.
According to Air Berlin, the benefits for marketing services paid to Ryanair appear to be unrelated to the actual marketing expenditures incurred by Ryanair.
Komisija mora oceniti, ali so bila sredstva družbe FLG prek odprtega, preglednega, nediskriminatornega in brezpogojnega razpisnega postopka dejansko prodana ponudniku, ki je predložil najvišjo ponudbo, upoštevajoč varnost transakcije.
Therefore, Air Berlin believes that the 2000 Agreement between FLG and Ryanair did not meet the market requirements.
Prvič, Komisija ugotavlja, da poziv k prijavi interesa za sredstva družbe FLG ni vseboval nobenih omejitev glede tega, kdo lahko predloži ponudbo, in ni določal nobenih pogojev za morebitne ponudnike.
According to Air Berlin, Lübeck is operated for regional policy considerations rather than for profitability.
V razpisnem postopku je lahko ponudbo oddal kateri koli subjekt.
According to Air Berlin the availability of preferential conditions for Ryanair in Lübeck on the one hand and the manner and condition of the conditional privatisation of the airport on the other hand can hardly be regarded separately.
Poleg tega je bil razpis javen z objavo v elektronskem dopolnilu k Uradnemu listu Evropske unije.
Air Berlin does not consider the participation agreement with Infratil as evidence for compliance with the MEO principle as a put option is included.
Drugič, Komisija glede načela preglednosti ugotavlja, da so imeli ponudniki več kot en mesec časa za odločitev, ali naj prijavijo interes na podlagi informacijskega memoranduma, ki so ga lahko zahtevali od prodajalca.
On the contrary Air Berlin is of the opinion that an MEO would have launched a new call for tender for the airport in 2005.
Rok za zavezujoče ponudbe je bil 20. november 2012.
Additionally, Air Berlin stated that the agreement with Ryanair was imputable to Germany.
Komisija ugotavlja tudi, da je prodajalec določil merila za izbor gospodarsko najboljše ponudbe že pred objavo obvestila o razpisu in jih sporočil ponudnikom ob začetku postopka.
According to the articles of association of FLG, the supervisory board has to give its approval for charges resulting from the use of the airport (Paragraph 12 of the articles of association).
Tretjič, med ponudniki ni bilo nobene diskriminacije na nobeni stopnji razpisnega postopka.
Four of the six members of the supervisory board are elected by Hansestadt Lübeck.
Vsi ponudniki so prejeli enake informacije in pojasnila o pravilih in postopkih razpisa, rokih za oddajo ponudb in družbi FLG.
Therefore, Air Berlin concluded that Hansestadt Lübeck could be held responsible.
Nobenemu ponudniku ni bila ponujena ekskluzivnost v pogajanjih.
Air Berlin believes that certain statements by key FLG officials are further evidence for the imputability of the agreement at hand.
V zaključni fazi so trije ponudniki predložili zavezujoče ponudbe.
With respect to possible State aid granted to Ryanair, Infratil stated that the 2000 Agreement was economically sound, an important asset for the development of the airport and in full compliance with the MEO principle.
Po oceni zavezujočih ponudb na podlagi meril, ki so bila določena pred začetkom postopka, je mesto Lübeck prišlo do zaključka, da je družba 3Y predložila gospodarsko najboljšo ponudbo.
Infratil is further of the opinion that the 2000 Agreement and its implementation are not imputable to Hansestadt Lübeck or other State entities.
Mesto Lübeck je Bürgerschaft predlagalo, da se sklene prodajna pogodba.
Hansestadt Lübeck or the supervisory board issued no orders or guidelines for the adoption of the 2000 Agreement and did not control that adoption.
Bürgerschaft je 29. novembra 2012 sklenil, da sprejme ponudbo družbe Yasmina, in sredstva družbe FLG so bila 1. januarja 2013 prodana družbi 3Y, ki je za ta namen ustanovila družbo Yasmina.
BDF is of the opinion that the conditions offered to Ryanair by FLG are not compatible with the internal market, as they do not fulfil the requirements of transparency, non-discrimination and do not contain sanctions if Ryanair does not fulfil its obligations under the 2000 Agreement.
Četrtič, razpis za prodajo sredstev je brezpogojen, če ima potencialni kupec na splošno možnost, da kupi sredstva in jih uporablja za lastne namene, ne glede na to, ali upravlja posamezne poslovne enote [43].
According to BDF, discriminatory derogations from the effective schedules of charges in favour of one particular airline lead to strong distortions of competition and to a subsidised redistribution of passengers within the same agglomeration, which does not make sense for the overall economy.
V zvezi s tem Komisija ugotavlja, da je bilo v objavljenem obvestilu o razpisu za prodajo sredstev družbe FLG navedeno, da bi moral kupec nadaljevati z obratovanjem letališča.
Further, BDF stated that a measure has to be notified to the Commission if it cannot be ruled out that that measure involves State aid.
Poleg tega je družba Yasmina, izbrani ponudnik, plačala končno nakupno ceno v višini […] EUR za nakup sredstev družbe FLG.
BDF stated that it is legally possible to shut down a German airport at the request of the operator under certain conditions.
Družba Yasmina je tudi sklenila dve zakupni pogodbi za infrastrukturo, zemljišča in sredstva v lasti mesta Lübeck.
FLG stated that the measure was not imputable to Germany, since the 2010 Agreements were negotiated by FLG autonomously.
Zakupa sta znašala […] EUR na leto in […] EUR na leto.
Ryanair argued that the 2010 Agreements are not imputable to the State.
Hkrati se je mesto Lübeck zavezalo, da bo družbi Yasmina zagotovilo investicijsko podporo v višini […] EUR, če so izpolnjeni nekateri pogoji.
Ryanair stated that Side Letter No 1 and Side Letter No 2 are merely short side letters extending the duration of the existing arrangements under Ryanair's 2000 Agreement.
Prodaja sredstev družbe FLG je bila neposredno povezana s prihodnjo investicijsko podporo družbi Yasmina.
The only new element was a commercially negotiated adjustment to marketing support in the Side Letter No 1.
Ker je bila prihodnja podpora višja od nakupne cene, je bila prodajna cena negativna.
Ryanair therefore stated that the implications of the two side letters are covered by Ryanair's submissions regarding the 2000 Agreement.
Glede na te elemente Komisija dvomi v brezpogojnost razpisnega postopka.
Ryanair submitted a report, compiled by Oxera [31], evaluating the expected profitability of Side Letter No 1 and Side Letter No 2, based on the 2009 business plan [32], drawn up by Lübeck airport prior to signing Side Letter No 1 and Side Letter No 2.
Če se prodaja sredstev izvede prek pogojnega razpisa, zaradi razpisnega postopka ni mogoče domnevati, da je bila transakcija v skladu s tržnimi pogoji.
The report indicates that, under reasonable assumptions at the time when the twoSide Letters were signed, they were expected to be sufficiently profitable.
Zato Komisija ne more sprejeti stališča o vprašanju, ali je družba Yasmina plačala tržno ceno za sredstva družbe FLG.
An airport behaving like a MEO would have offered similar terms.
Če je družba Yasmina dejansko plačala manj od tržne cene, bi to kazalo na obstoj gospodarske kontinuitete.
According to Oxera, this also holds true if the 2010 Marketing services agreement was to be considered jointly with the March and October 2010 Side letters.
Identiteta kupca
Marketing costs for Lübeck airport were therefore included in the assessment.
Kupec je bila družba Yasmina, odvisno podjetje družbe 3Y.
Air Berlin pointed out that there were three agreements signed in 2010: Side Letter No 1, Side Letter No 2 and the 2010 Marketing services agreement.
Edini delničar družbe 3Y je bil Adel Mohammed Saleh M. Alghanmi, državljan Saudove Arabije.
The Commission should take into account all of the 2010 Agreements in its assessment.
Yasmina je bilo zasebno podjetje brez predhodnih povezav z družbo FLG ali mestom Lübeck.
RYANAIR AND WIZZ AIR
Dejstvo, da je bila družba Yasmina neodvisna od družbe FLG in tudi od javnih organov, kaže, da ne obstaja gospodarska kontinuiteta.
Ryanair and Wizz Air argued that all alleged aid granted by Lübeck airport to Wizz Air and other airlines cannot be imputed to the German State, based on the Stardust Marine judgment [33].
Komisija zato sklepa, da identiteta kupca ne kaže na obstoj gospodarske kontinuitete.
Wizz Air argues that, even though Hansestadt Lübeck was the sole owner of the airport during the time in question, this is not sufficient to confirm any imputability to the State.
Trenutek prodaje
Wizz Air argues that the lack of imputability to Germany was even more obvious during the time of ownership of 90 % of the FLG shares by Infratil.
Mesto Lübeck je nameravalo privatizirati letališče, preden je Komisija začela preiskave.
Ryanair and Wizz Air stated that those charges and any discounts represent an insignificant share of an airline's costs of dealing with an airport.
Po neuspeli prvi privatizaciji s strani družbe Infratil leta 2009 je mesto Lübeck leta 2012 poskusilo v drugo in privatizacija letališča s strani družbe Yasmina je uspela.
According to Ryanair, those charges cannot be assessed in isolation since there is no retail market for de-icing.
Prodaja družbi Yasmina je potekala po sklepih o začetku postopka iz leta 2007 in 2012, vendar preden je Komisija sprejela končno odločitev.
A discount on de-icing is likely to be counter-weighed by the commercial benefits being obtained by the airport elsewhere in the negotiations.
Dejstvo, da je prodaja letališča del stalnih prizadevanj mesta Lübeck za privatizacijo letališča, kaže na to, da ne gre za namerni poskus izogniti se vračilu pomoči.
Ryanair cited the Charleroi judgment, where it is confirmed that ‘it is however necessary, when applying the private investor test, to envisage the commercial transaction as a whole’ [34].
Časovni potek postopka prodaje kaže na neobstoj gospodarske kontinuitete.
Finally, Ryanair and Wizz Air stated that the price for de-icing fluid charged at Lübeck airport was the standard price charged across public and private airports.
Poleg tega je Sodišče že razsodilo, da obstaja gospodarska kontinuiteta, če obstaja „objektivna okoliščina, da prenos povzroči izognitev obveznosti vračila sporne pomoči“ [44].
COMMENTS OF GERMANY ON THIRD PARTIES
Ker pa v obravnavanem primeru Komisija ni sprejela sklepa o obstoju pomoči na letališču Lübeck od leta 2007, ko je bila zadeva prvotno odprta, ni mogoče sklepati, da je taka namera obstajala v času privatizacije.
According to Germany, Ryanair's submissions reveal that FLG acted in line with the MEO principle.
Poleg tega je Sodišče že razsodilo, da lahko obstaja gospodarska kontinuiteta, če je bila ustanovljena družba za nadaljevanje dela dejavnosti podjetja, ki je postalo insolventno [46].
Germany particularly highlighted the usefulness of Ryanair's approach of proving the market conformity of the agreement through a profitability analysis and a comparator analysis.
Vendar se to ni zgodilo, ker je mesto Lübeck začelo in končalo prodajo družbi Yasmina, pri čemer družba FLG ni bila insolventna.
Secondly, with regards to Side Letter No 2, Germany pointed out that it merely constituted an extension of the 2000 Agreement, therefore not containing any material change.
V svoji prijavi interesa je družba Yasmina predstavila ambiciozen poslovni načrt za preoblikovanje letališča Lübeck v sodobno letališče, ki bi bilo privlačno za številna podjetja.
Therefore, all considerations on the 2000 Agreement also apply to the Side letters.
V skladu z načrtom naj bi podjetja pritegnili s sodobnim, visokotehnološkim poslovnim parkom, ki naj bi vključeval kinematografe, banke, kavarne, restavracije in parkirišča s posebnimi preskusnimi stezami, gokart stezo, drsališče, butike visoke mode, butičnihotel, kongresni center ter tudi nakupovalno središče za prodajo modnih izdelkov na debelo.
Germany stated that it does not understand why the 2010 Marketing services agreement should be included in the present investigation, since it involved no public funds.
Poleg tega je bila predvidena izgradnja centra za pretovor, ki bi plovne poti povezoval s kopenskimi in zračnimi potmi ter olajšal prevoz.
The costs as laid down in the 2010 Marketing services agreement were covered by the IHK Lübeck.
To je vključevalo skladiščne zmogljivosti, daljše vzletno-pristajalne steze in vzdrževalno infrastrukturo.
Moreover, Germany commented that the 2010 Marketing services agreement can be regarded as being in compliance with market standards.
Poleg tega so bile predvidene dodatne spremembe obstoječega poslovnega načrta, na primer poceni gorivo za majhne zrakoplove, samoprijava na let, delovanje stalne baze za VIP potnike ter oglaševanje letališča kot kraja za letalske mitinge in letalske razstave.
This is supported by the observation that FLG was charged with fewer costs than other airports with a similar agreement.
Letališče Lübeck naj bi istočasno še naprej obratovalo kot letališče, namreč zagotavljalo naj bi čarterske in redne lete.
Even more, the 2010 Marketing services agreement with Lübeck airport was based on the promise of Ryanair to expand its flight portfolio by two destinations.
S predhodnega vidika naj bi letališče Lübeck ostalo letališče, vendar z drugačnim poslovnim načrtom.
Another point added by Germany is the function of Lübeck airport as a back-up airport for Hamburg airport and as a necessary infrastructure for the Northern German population.
Komisija ugotavlja, da se je poslovni koncept družbe Yasmina sicer razlikoval od dejavnosti, ki jih je izvajala družba FLG, vendar je družba Yasmina vseeno nameravala zagotavljati podobne letalske dejavnosti kot družba FLG.
COMMENTS ON SGF'S SUBMISSIONS
V celoti gledano pa to kaže na obstoj gospodarske kontinuitete.
Germany stated that SGF was not an interested party within the meaning of Article 108(2) TFEU and Article 1(h) of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, and therefore had no right to submit comments.
Dejstvo, da je družba Yasmina naknadno lahko zagotavljala samo manjši obseg letalskih dejavnosti, ker je družba Ryanair zapustila Lübeck in začela leteti z bližnjega letališča Hamburg, te ugotovitve ne spremeni.
The members of SGF merely own land in close distance to the airport and therefore want to get rid of the perceived nuisances created by the operation of the airport.
Sklep o gospodarski kontinuiteti med družbama FLG in Yasmina
Such goals, however, have to be striven for by way of national legal remedies.
Komisija ugotavlja, da nekateri kazalniki kažejo na neobstoj gospodarske kontinuitete med družbama FLG in Yasmina, nekateri pa kažejo na obstoj gospodarske kontinuitete.
Moreover, Germany argued that the substance of the submissions made by SGF was inaccurate.
Komisija predvsem ne more izključiti dejstva, da je družba Yasmina plačala manj od tržne cene za sredstva družbe FLG.
Firstly, Germany disagrees with SGF's statement that Lübeck airport does not fulfil a public service function.
Čeprav nekateri kazalniki kažejo na neobstoj gospodarske kontinuitete, Komisija zato ne more izključiti, da je kljub vsemu obstajala gospodarska kontinuiteta med družbama FLG in Yasmina.
SGF had argued that the airport is only operated in the general interest to the extent of interests regarding ‘general aviation’.
Vendar Komisija ugotavlja, da sta družbi 3Y in Yasmina v vsakem primeru v tem času prenehali.
Germany disagrees with that statement since Lübeck airport has an operational duty for reasons of infrastructural public service functions and the back-up function for Hamburg airport.
Če bi torej vseeno obstajala gospodarska kontinuiteta med družbama FLG in Yasmina, obveznosti vračila ne bi bilo več mogoče razširiti na družbo Yasmina.
The latter was officially laid down in the North German Air Traffic Concept (‘Norddeutsches Luftverkehrskonzept’).
Gospodarska kontinuiteta med družbama FLG in PuRen
