Security fee (paid by Ryanair to appropriate government body) in EUR
Družba Infratil je trdila, da ji uveljavljanje prodajne opcije ni omogočilo, da bi povsem povrnila stanje ex quo ante, ker je morala brez nadomestila pokriti nekatere izgube (razliko med odobrenimi izgubami iz poslovanja in dejanskimi izgubami iz poslovanja).
2010 Agreements
Tudi če bi Komisija ugotovila, da so ponovna pogajanja o prodajni opciji pomenila državno pomoč, družba Infratil meni, da je skladna z notranjim trgom.
On 29 March 2010, Ryanair and Lübeck airport signed Side Letter No 1 to the 2000 Agreement covering the period from 28 March 2010 to 30 October 2010.
Če bi Komisija ugotovila, da je mesto Lübeck dodelilo pomoč družbi Infratil s tem, ko je prevzelo izgube, ki so nastale družbi FLG leta 2009, bi po mnenju družbe Infratil ta pomoč bila zgolj nadomestilo za izgube, nastale pri opravljanju storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
This side letter prolonged the 2000 Agreement until 30 October 2010 and introduced a new per-passenger incentive payment of EUR […] to be paid by FLG to Ryanair, in addition to the payment for marketing services specified in the 2000 Agreement of EUR […] per passenger (below 18 rotations per week) or EUR […] per passenger (above 18 rotations per week).
Mesto Lübeck je trdilo, da je bil sporazum o prevzemu izgub najcenejša in najmanj tvegana možnost.
Since more than 18 rotations per week were flown by Ryanair, a total of EUR […] per passenger was to be paid by FLG to Ryanair.
To zlasti utemeljuje na podlagi pravne obveznosti mesta Lübeck za upravljanje letališča v skladu z odstavkom 45(1) nemške uredbe o dovoljenju za zračni promet (Luftverkehrs-Zulassungs-Ordnung, v nadaljnjem besedilu: LuftVZO).
As all other conditions from the 2000 Agreement were maintained, passenger service fees per departing payments to be paid to FLG amounted to EUR […], ramp handling charges per turnaround amounted to EUR […], handling charges per passenger were EUR […] and security charges per passenger were EUR […].
Zaprtje letališča torej ne bi bilo mogoče.
In October 2010, a Side Letter No 2 was signed, which did not maintain the conditions of the March 2010 Side letter, but returned to the schedule of marketing payments as stated in the original 2000 Agreement.
Poleg tega bi zaprtje letališča terjalo preveč časa in sredstev.
The October 2010 Side letter extended the terms of the 2000 Agreement for 3 years until 1 November 2013.
Mesto Lübeck je tudi opomnilo Komisijo, da ne mesto Lübeck ne družba Infratil nista imela predhodnih izkušenj s privatizacijo letališča.
On the day that Side letter No 1 was entered into, namely on 29 March 2010, FLG also signed a Marketing Services Agreement with Airport Marketing Services Limited (‘AMS’), a fully-owned subsidiary of Ryanair.
To lahko privede do nekaterih napačnih izračunov, nikakor pa ne do zaključka, da katera koli stranka ni ravnala v skladu s tržnimi načeli.
That marketing services agreement also covered the period from 29 March 2010 to 30 October 2010 and set out the advertising services to be provided by AMS on the website www.ryanair.com, in return for a sum of EUR […] to be paid by FLG.
Poleg tega je mesto Lübeck trdilo, da je družba Infratil edini ponudnik v okviru privatizacije, kar je zmanjšalo pogajalsko moč mesta Lübeck.
CHARGES FOR THE DE-ICING OF AIRCRAFTS AT THE AIRPORT
Organizacija SGF je trdila, da dodatni sporazum iz leta 2009 pomeni novo pomoč, ki daje družbi Infratil prednost.
The de-icing charges are laid down in a scheme of special charges, applicable to all airlines using the airport.
Trdila je tudi, da pomoč presega prag de minimis in bi morala biti priglašena, česar pa Nemčija ni storila.
The scheme of special charges is a document separate from the general schedule of charges applicable at the airport.
V tem okviru je organizacija SGF dejala, da ni bilo obetov za donosnost letališča Lübeck.
It is updated every few years.
Organizacija SGF je dodala, da bi lahko zaradi koncesij družbe Infratil družba FLG preprečila insolventnost samo v začetku leta 2008.
The scheme of special charges distinguishes several categories, namely de-icing for aircrafts up to 10 t maximum take-off weight, de-icing for aircrafts from 10 t maximum take-off weight, de-icing liquid and hot water and lays down a price for each of these categories.
Organizacija SGF se ni strinjala s tem, da je bil opravljen preskus udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, saj noben zasebni vlagatelj ne bi bil pripravljen še naprej poslovati s takšnimi izgubami, kar kaže uveljavitev prodajne opcije družbe Infratil.
GROUNDS FOR INITIATING THE FORMAL INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE
V zvezi z zaprtjem letališča je organizacija SGF trdila, da ima hamburško letališče zadostne zmogljivosti za obratovanje brez letališča Lübeck kot rezervnega letališča.
In its 2007 and 2012 Opening decisions, the Commission initiated investigations concerning possible State aid in favour of FLG, Infratil and Ryanair, Wizz Air and other charter airlines serving Globalis Reisen.
Organizacija SGF je še dodala, da je družba FLG previsoko ocenila stroške zaprtja.
The Commission had doubts concerning the loss transfer agreement of 19 October 1978 (‘loss transfer agreement’), according to which Hansestadt Lübeck covered the operating losses of FLG in the period 1978 to 2004, the lease agreement for land and airport infrastructure and the takeover of outstanding liabilities.
Preglednica 5 je veljala za bolj realno, čeprav po mnenju organizacije SGF morda vseeno podaja previsoke vrednosti.
Furthermore, the Commission had doubts on the possible investment aid by means of the 2005 Regional Airports decision and its alleged violation, the compensation of losses since November 2009, the financing of infrastructure investments by Hansestadt Lübeck and the Land Schleswig-Holstein and the subordination of shareholder loans of Hansestadt Lübeck to FLG.
Preglednica 5
In relation to those measures, the Commission expressed doubts whether, under normal market conditions, a market economy operator would also have provided similar advantages to FLG.
Stroški zaprtja letališča Lübeck, kot jih je navedla organizacija Schutzgemeinschaft
When 90 % of the shares in FLG were sold to Infratil, the Commission had doubts regarding the compatibility of the privatisation process with State aid rules.
Stroški
In addition, the Commission suspected possible State aid when the terms of the put option were renegotiated in 2008/2009.
V tisoč EUR
With regard to the 2000 Agreement with Ryanair and the March and October 2010 Side letters, the Commission had doubts whether they conferred a selective advantage to Ryanair and therefore constituted State aid.
Stroški upravitelja
The Commission had doubts whether the charges for de-icing, charged since November 2009, involved State aid, since there were indications that the prices charged for de-icing were lower than the costs incurred by the airport.
Tekoče izgube za začasno nadaljevanje do leta 2010/2011
COMMENTS FROM GERMANY
Socialni načrt
Germany pointed out that FLG does not exist anymore.
Povračilo subvencij
During the course of the privatisation of Lübeck airport, FLG merged into Hansestadt Lübeck.
Stroški revizorja
Thereby, Hansestadt Lübeck became the universal successor of FLG and all claims between FLG and Hansestadt Lübeck disappeared.
Poleg tega organizacija SGF dvomi v dolžnost upravljanja letališča kot javno službo, kajti dovoljenje za upravljanje letališča ne pomeni, da gre za storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
Therefore, Germany states that all questions of State aid between Hansestadt Lübeck and FLG became without object.
Takšno dovoljenje se lahko prekliče.
In addition, Germany commented on the specific measures, stating that all measures were in accordance with State aid rules, since they either constitute existing aid or comply with the MEO principle.
Družba Ryanair je trdila, da bi lahko razlika med cenama prodajne opcije, dogovorjenima v letih 2005 in 2009, in dejansko ceno prodajne opcije, ki jo je plačalo mesto Lübeck, nastala zaradi številnih dejavnikov, kot so gibanja cen premoženja.
Loss transfer agreement: According to Germany, since the loss transfer agreement was concluded 1978 and ended on 31 December 2004, it cannot be included in the investigations.
Gospodarske razmere, ki so prevladovale v letu 2005, so bile mnogo boljše kot leta 2009 in razlika v ceni bi bila lahko odraz navedenega.
If it were to be categorised as State aid, it would merely constitute existing aid.
Družba Ryanair je navedla, da je bila pogodba z družbo FLG sklenjena na podlagi gospodarskih vidikov.
Germany also argued that the loss transfer agreement constituted a general economic policy measure, which cannot be considered State aid.
Letališče Lübeck je veljalo za uspešno delujoče letališče, sekundarno letališču Hamburg, in Lübeck sam je štel za dragoceno kulturno destinacijo.
According to Germany, the loss transfer agreement also passes the MEO test as the relevant measures were intended to attract airlines to the airport and to raise passenger numbers.
Poleg tega so bile na letališču Lübeck uvedene storitve za zagotovitev nizke stroškovne osnove in demografsko analizo, da bi ugotovili, ali novo letališče obdaja dovolj zaledja.
Lease agreement and takeover of loans: According to Germany, any aid in relation to those measures would be existing aid.
Čeprav družba Ryanair ni mogla posredovati poslovnega načrta, da bi utemeljila svojo odločitev o začetku opravljanja storitev na letališču Lübeck, je poudarila, da se takšen poslovni načrt običajno ne zahteva za zasebnega vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu.
In addition, Germany stated that the rent was in accordance with market standards, as proven by an independent study by Ernst & Young commissioned by Hansestadt Lübeck prior to the sale of FLG to Infratil and which was provided by Germany to the Commission.
Družba Ryanair je pojasnila, da je prenehala opravljati storitve na letališču Lübeck zaradi poslovnih razlogov, med drugim zaradi povečanja stroškov in ker je bil donos manjši, kot je bilo pričakovano (zaradi gospodarske recesije).
With respect to the takeover of loans, Germany stated that all debt guarantees were solely provided within the framework of the pre-financing of investments in infrastructure measures, which were in any event financed afterwards through payments under the loss transfer agreement.
Družba Ryanair je navedla, da so regionalna letališča v Uniji v težkem tržnem položaju.
Investment aid to FLG by means of the 2005 Regional Airports Decision and its alleged violation: Germany stated that all concerned measures were never implemented or fell within the public remit sphere.
Zato je treba upoštevati prihodke letališča iz letalskih in neletalskih dejavnosti, kar se imenuje „pristop enojnega obračunavanja“.
Compensation for FLG losses since November 2009: Germany stated that the financing of FLG by Hansestadt Lübeck since 2009 was in accordance with Union State aid rules, since FLG did not exercise an economic activity, as its activities concerned services within the public remit or services of general economic interest.
Ker je za pogodbe z družbo Ryanair značilno, da obetajo veliko število potnikov, ti poslovni odnosi pogosto pripomorejo k večji prepoznavnosti letališča in privabijo druge letalske prevoznike kakor tudi trgovce na drobno in druge ponudnike storitev.
Financing of infrastructure investments by Hansestadt Lübeck and the Land Schleswig Holstein: Germany argued that the financing of infrastructure investments concern services of public interest or services of public remit and are thereby in accordance with State aid rules, as provided in the 1994 Aviation guidelines [26] (as is the case with regard to the compensation of losses since 2009).Subordination of shareholder loans of Hansestadt Lübeck to FLG: Germany stated that the subordination agreement of Hansestadt Lübeck in favour of FLG was common market practice and did not give FLG any advantage.
Poleg tega je družba Ryanair navedla, da so obstajali trdni dokazi, da bi večje število potnikov povzročilo povečanje prihodkov iz neletalskih dejavnosti.
Germany argued that the agreed purchase price was in accordance with market standards.
V dokaz je družba Ryanair predložila naslednjo preglednico:
Germany further stated that the bidding procedure for the acquisition of 90 % of the shares of FLG was open, transparent, non-discriminatory and unconditional.
Preglednica 6
Germany stated that a renegotiation of the agreement, which was due to the decision of OVG Schleswig from 18 July 2005 [27], did not change the outcome of the bidding procedure, which was that the bid of Infratil was the only and highest bid.
Prihodki iz neletalskih dejavnosti kot odstotek skupnih prihodkov na izbranih letališčih
Germany stated that there was no reason for a new call for interest, as the decision of OVG Schleswig changed the value of the airport, but not the actual subject of the bidding procedure.
v milijonih GBP
These arguments were supported by reference to German public procurement law.
Povprečje
Moreover, Germany stated that the expert report by Ernst & Young concluded that the conditions of the privatisation reflected the current market value of FLG and by far exceeded the economic results of a potential liquidation.
Družba Ryanair je trdila, da z vidika vlagatelja v tržnem gospodarstvu vsaka poslovna ponudba običajno pomeni izboljšanje glede na takratne razmere, dokler pričakuje, da bodo mejne koristi presegale mejne stroške.
Germany stated that the agreement between Infratil and Hansestadt Lübeck has to be assessed in the context of the legal and economic situation of Lübeck airport in 2009.
Poleg tega je družba Ryanair zagovarjala stališče, da je treba upoštevati, da ima glede na svoj poslovni model in operativno učinkovitost znatno manjše potrebe kot drugi letalski prevozniki.
This includes the pending planning approval, the pending court cases involving the airport and the economic and financial crisis.
Da bi zagotovila več dokazov, da je njen sporazum iz leta 2000 skladen s tržnimi zahtevami, je družba Ryanair izvedla primerjavo med letališči primerljive velikosti in v primerljivem položaju kot letališče Lübeck.
Germany contested the allegation that there was an advantage for Infratil, since the price for the put option had already been negotiated in the context of the initial agreement with Infratil in 2005 by way of a public, transparent and non-discriminatory tender procedure.
Primerljiva letališča so Bournemouth, Grenoble, Knock, Maastricht, Nimes in Prestwick.
Germany argued that the moderate increase in the price in 2009 as compared to the amount agreed in 2005 should be seen as proportionate to the counter-performances by Infratil.
Primerjava pristojbin, ki jih je družba Ryanair plačevala na primerljivih letališčih, je pokazala, da so bili stroški, ki jih je družba Ryanair plačevala na letališču Lübeck, na splošno višji od povprečja na primerljivih letališčih tako na potnika kot na posamezno obračanje.
Germany stated that the takeover of losses was economically more advantageous than the consequences from Infratil's exercise of its put option.
Družba Ryanair je pozvala Komisijo, da naj pri presoji, ali je sporazum iz leta 2000 v skladu z načelom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, upošteva primerjalno analizo v večji meri kot analizo donosnosti.
Firstly, Germany stressed that to close the airport was not an option, as the full-time operation of the airport was a public service obligation.
V poročilu, ki ga je pripravila družba Oxera, je izračunana neto sedanja vrednost (v nadaljnjem besedilu: NSV) sporazuma iz leta 2000.
Secondly, it would not have been possible to find a new private investor within a reasonable time, as a Union wide public procurement procedure would have been necessary.
V poročilu je ugotovljeno, da je NSV pozitivna v višini […] EUR.
Such a procedure consumes time (approximately 12 months) and resources.
Družba Oxera je izvedla več preverjanj občutljivosti v zvezi s tem izračunom.
According to Germany, there was no economic advantage for Ryanair.
Družba Air Berlin je navedla, da proge družbe Ryanair z letališča Lübeck predstavljajo neposredno konkurenco tistim, ki jih ponuja družba Air Berlin na letališču Hamburg.
Germany stated that a private operator comparable to FLG would have accepted the agreement with Ryanair under similar conditions.
To velja zlasti za destinacije London, Milano in Barcelona, saj tja letita oba letalska prevoznika.
When concluding the 2000 Agreement, FLG was pursuing the strategy to get profitable in the long term.
Družba Air Berlin je zagovarjala stališče, da je namen tržne strategije družbe Ryanair speljati potencialne stranke drugih prevoznikov, med drugim družbe Air Berlin.
In that context, Germany argued that the business strategy of airports was usually based on aeronautic activities as well as non-aeronautic activities, including the operation of shops, restaurants and parking areas.
Zaradi nizkih cen družbe Ryanair so se stranke preselile z letališča Hamburg na letališče Lübeck.
Therefore, in Germany's view, it is profitable to offer low aviation fees to all airlines in order to raise passenger numbers and to achieve significant growth in the non-aeronautic sector, which can compensate for reduced incomes in the aeronautic sector.
Družba Air Berlin trdi, da je zaradi državne pomoči utrpela znatne gospodarske izgube.
Germany further stated that there were several advantages in recruiting airlines that provide scheduled services.
Morala je prenehati izvajati nekatere lete, ker jih je družba Ryanair vzporedno zagotavljala na letališču Lübeck.
In particular, Germany argued that the airport could expect that the respective airlines would not enter into an agreement with competing airports in the future.
Poleg tega je družba Air Berlin izrazila mnenje, da težko uvede nove destinacije z letališča Hamburg, dokler podobne destinacije nudi družba Ryanair z letališča Lübeck po pretirano nizkih cenah.
In addition, the airport was expected to attract other airlines.
Družba Air Berlin je omenila tudi šestdnevno zaprtje letališča Lübeck od 19. aprila 2004 v podporo svojim trditvam, da je družba Ryanair plačevala nepošteno nizke pristojbine in da je obstajala konkurenca med Hamburgom in Lübeckom.
Germany supported its argument concerning the compliance with the conditions on the market with the expert report by Ernst & Young.
Med zaprtjem je morala družba Ryanair preseliti svoj promet z letališča Lübeck na letališče Hamburg.
In addition, Germany pointed out that the private majority shareholder Infratil also continued to support the strategy set out in recital 112 after the privatisation of the airport.
Zaradi višjih letaliških pristojbin na letališču Hamburg je družba Ryanair utrpela dodatne stroške v višini […] EUR, ki jih je družba Ryanair zaračunala družbi FLG.
Germany argued that the business strategy from 2000 holds up from an ex post perspective.
Družba Air Berlin je poudarila, da je družba Ryanair torej že pridobila prednost v višini […] EUR pred letalskimi prevozniki, ki so šest dni uporabljali letališče Hamburg.
Passenger numbers increased considerably, Ryanair added new destinations and Lübeck airport was able to acquire new airlines such as Wizz Air.
Družba Air Berlin je svojo trditev podkrepila s preglednico števila potnikov in letov pred (do leta 1999) in po (od leta 2000) tem, ko je družba Ryanair začela delovati na letališču Lübeck:
Germany further stated that there was no selective advantage for Ryanair, as FLG would have offered the same conditions to any other interested airline.
Preglednica družbe Air Berlin, ki prikazuje število potnikov in letov
Furthermore, Germany is of the opinion that the alleged advantages in favour of Ryanair cannot be imputed to the State due to the ruling of Stardust Marine [28].
Število potnikov (osebe)
According to Germany, FLG acted with autonomy and without any exertion of influence by the State, before, during and after the conclusion of the 2000 Agreement.
Premiki letal
Furthermore, Germany stated that FLG was not integrated into the structures of the public administration.
Glede na preglednico 7 se je število potnikov znatno povečalo leta 2000, ko je začela družba Ryanair ponujati lete s tega letališča.
Finally, Germany stated that the supervision of the public authorities over the management of FLG is limited to aviation and public remit matters and does not include business management activities.
Po navedbah družbe Air Berlin je mogoče 97 % teh potnikov pripisati družbi Ryanair.
Further, Germany argued that Hansestadt Lübeck and in particular the supervisory board of FLG were not involved in the decision concerning the 2000 Agreement, as confirmed by the minutes of the supervisory board meeting from 11 July 2000 and a written confirmation of the former CEO of FLG.
To se obravnava ob upoštevanju izgub, ki jih je družba FLG utrpela pred (do leta 1999) in po (po letu 2000) tem, ko je družba Ryanair začela delovati na letališču Lübeck:
In addition, Germany stated that the 2000 Agreement does not distort or threaten to distort competition and does not affect trade between Member States, as there is no real competitive relationship between Lübeck airport and other airports.
Preglednica 8
Germany submitted that the Side Letter No 1 complies with market conditions and that it did not give an advantage to Ryanair.
Preglednica družbe Air Berlin, ki prikazuje izgube družbe FLG
Germany argued by reference to the Helaba I [29] case that there is no advantage when other operators of regional airports offer Ryanair similar conditions.
Izgube (v EUR)
Germany further argued that this has been proven by Ryanair's comparator analysis.
Pristojbine, ki jih je plačevala družba Ryanair za uporabo letališča Lübeck, so bile nižje od pristojbin, določenih v takrat veljavnem seznamu pristojbin.
Germany argued that low cost carriers such as Ryanair and Wizz Air have fewer demands with regard to ground handling services and infrastructure services.
Poleg tega je družba Air Berlin navedla, da je družba Ryanair zagotavljala storitev trženja neodvisno od stroškov trženja.
Firstly, less check-in counters are needed as check-in for Ryanair flights is available online and less luggage is carried.
Po navedbah družbe Air Berlin se zdijo prejemki za storitve trženja, plačani družbi Ryanair, nepovezani z dejanskimi izdatki za trženje, ki so nastali družbi Ryanair.
Secondly, there are no passenger busses.
Zato družba Air Berlin meni, da sporazum iz leta 2000 med družbama FLG in Ryanair ni izpolnjeval tržnih zahtev.
Fourthly, as there are no transfer flights, no facilities for transfer are needed.
Po mnenju družbe Air Berlin razpoložljivosti preferencialnih pogojev za družbo Ryanair v Lübecku na eni strani ter načina in razmer pogojne privatizacije letališča na drugi strani ni mogoče obravnavati ločeno.
Finally, since the flight crew often takes charge of the cleaning inside the airplane, there is less demand for ground cleaning services.
Družba Air Berlin meni, da sporazum o udeležbi z družbo Infratil ni dokaz skladnosti z načelom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, ker vključuje prodajno opcijo.
Germany argued that there was no imputability to the State, using the same arguments as for the 2000 Agreement.
Nasprotno pa družba Air Berlin meni, da bi udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu leta 2005 objavil nov javni razpis za letališče.
Germany pointed out that the Side Letter No 2 is an extension of the 2000 Agreement, and did not substantially change the 2000 Agreement.
Poleg tega je družba Air Berlin navedla, da je bila za sporazum z družbo Ryanair odgovorna Nemčija.
As the 2000 Agreement complies with the requirements of the market, the Side Letter No 2 would also do so.
V skladu s statutom družbe FLG mora nadzorni svet dati soglasje za stroške, ki nastanejo zaradi uporabe letališča (12. odstavek statuta).
Lastly, Germany stated that there is no negative impact on competition or trade, since Lübeck airport is a small regional airport and is not in competition with Hamburg airport.
Štiri od šestih članov nadzornega sveta izvoli mesto Lübeck.
