The results of that analysis reveal a positive impact on SOGEAAL thanks to the marketing agreements signed with AMS.
Meni, da je prvi pogoj iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark (pooblastitev za izvajanje obveznosti javne službe) izpolnjen, saj je nalogo izvajanja letov na strateških mednarodnih rutah družbi easyJet podelila država, naloga javne službe pa je natančno opredeljena.
In particular the airport benefitted from (i) a possible increase in attractiveness for other airlines, (ii) a limited decline in passenger numbers due to the financial crisis and (iii) a potential audience of AMS advertising more than 50 times greater compared to similar arrangements with Alitalia.
Družba easyJet je sklenila zavezujoče pogodbe z družbama SOGAER in GEASAR na podlagi zakona Sardinije št. 10 iz leta 2010 in poznejših izvedbenih aktov.
Finally, the report argues that, in the absence of any empirical analysis of the impact of advertising on ryanair.com, it is incorrect to conclude that the only benefits of advertising on ryanair.com are to increase levels of Ryanair traffic, and that the benefits of the AMS agreements do not persist beyond the expiry date of the agreements.
Take pogodbe družbi easyJet nalagajo posebne obveznosti zaradi zagotavljanja, da se ohrani načelo ozemeljske kontinuitete in zagotovi zadostno število letov za prevoz potnikov na Sardinijo in z nje tudi pred glavno sezono in po njej.
THE ROLE OF COMPARATOR ANALYSIS IN MEOP [80] ASSESSMENTS [81]
Zadevno nadomestilo je povezano s storitvijo splošnega gospodarskega pomena, njeno opravljanje pa je Sardinija dodelila družbi easyJet prek družb SOGAER in GEASAR.
Ryanair argues that the Commission has not undertaken any assessment of the efficiency of the airports' costs when carrying out the profitability analyses.
Pri analizi drugega pogoja (merila za izračun nadomestila so opredeljena vnaprej ter objektivno in pregledno) družba easyJet trdi, da pogodbe, ki ji nalagajo zagotavljanje storitev zračnega prevoza na strateških rutah, ustrezno vnaprej določajo nadomestilo za izpolnitev naloge, saj je v njih naveden stalni letni znesek, ki se nanaša le na opravljanje letov na zadevnih rutah v zadevnem letu.
Therefore, they stress the fact that Ryanair is not in a position to know whether the deal is expected to be profitable for the airport.
V zvezi s tretjim pogojem (prejeto nadomestilo ne sme presegati zneska, ki je potreben, da se pokrijejo stroški in ustvari zmeren dobiček), družba easyJet trdi, da ima zaradi zagotavljanja storitev zračnega prevoza, ki so določene v pogodbah z družbama SOGAER in GEASAR, visoke stalne stroške poslovanja.
It introduces many examples of comparator analysis used by the Commission in recent years and stresses the fact that the Commission itself states that comparator analysis has a great importance in MEOP assessments.
Družba easyJet trdi, da je tudi četrti pogoj iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark izpolnjen (prejeto nadomestilo ne presega stroškov dobro vodenega podjetja, ki je ustrezno opremljeno s sredstvi za opravljanje javnih storitev).
In conclusion, Ryanair suggests using the comparator analysis at least as a cross-check on the results from the profitability analysis.
Trdi, da se lahko šteje za povprečno, dobro vodeno podjetje, ki je ustrezno opremljeno s sredstvi za opravljanje javnih storitev.
ECONOMIC MEOP ASSESSMENTS: COMPARATOR ANALYSIS INCLUDING AMS [82]
Poudariti želi, da je eno od najbolje vodenih evropskih letalskih prevoznikov in da lahko strankam ponudi nizke cene zaradi svoje osredotočenosti na učinkovitost, visokega izkoristka flote ter intenzivne uporabe informacijske tehnologije, ki vsi prispevajo k nižjemu strošku na potnika.
The study provided by Ryanair demonstrates how the results of the 2012 and 2013 at Lübeck and Cagliari airports do not change after the inclusion of AMS payments within the comparator analysis.
Če bi Komisija menila, da pogoji iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark niso izpolnjeni, družba easyJet meni, da so izpolnjeni vsi pogoji iz člena 106(2) Pogodbe in da so bile zadevne dejavnosti potrebne zaradi izpolnjevanja storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
It concludes that, over the period under consideration (2007-2013), net charges paid by Ryanair at Cagliari Airport have been, on average, higher than the average at the comparator airports.
Dejavnosti je torej mogoče utemeljiti kot združljive na podlagi izjeme iz člena 106(2) Pogodbe.
This implies that a market economic operator would have been likely to have offered similar arrangements to Ryanair.
Preskus tehtanja
In particular, they argue that the result is not sensitive to the treatment of AMS payments, and is robust to various sensitivity checks.
Po mnenju družbe easyJet je shema, tudi če ne spada na področje uporabe uredb in smernic, zaradi pozitivnega rezultata preskusa tehtanja popolnoma zakonita, ne glede na znesek pomoči ali velikost upravičenca.
ECONOMIC MEOP ASSESSMENT: CAGLIARI AIRPORT, PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS [83]
Šteje se, da ima pomoč neupravičene negativne učinke, kadar:
The study aims to demonstrate, through an ex ante analysis, that the ASA agreements of January 2007, December 2007 and December 2009 were considered profitable by SOGAER SpA (operator of Cagliari airport) and would have also been considered profitable by any other management company, in accordance with the 2014 Aviation Guidelines.
se dodeli neučinkovitim ali prevladujočim družbam v nazadujočih sektorjih;
In particular, the profitability analysis based on the NPV calculation shows a positive outcome of the index for the whole period (2007 and 2009).
nadomesti zasebne naložbe ali prizadevanja na področju raziskav;
Consequently the arrangements at CAG appear to be market-conform.
diskriminira nekatera podjetja ali tehnologije.
The evidence indicates that, under similar circumstances, a market economy operator of the Cagliari airport would have found it profitable to have been offered similar arrangements to those that were agreed between Ryanair and Cagliari Airport.
V zadevnem primeru ni nobenega izkrivljanja konkurence, ki je navadno povezano s sporno državno pomočjo: (i) prejemniki niso pridobili nobenih tržnih deležev na škodo morebitnih učinkovitejših konkurentov; (ii) tuji konkurenti niso bili diskriminirani v korist vodilnih nacionalnih podjetij; (iii) potrošniki niso bili na izgubi, ker ne bi imeli dostopa do cenejših ali boljših proizvodov.
THE IMPACT OF RYANAIR'S OPERATIONS ON AIRPORTS' NON-AERONAUTICAL REVENUES [84]
Družba easyJet trdi, da zadevna shema izpolnjuje zahteve glede nujnosti in sorazmernosti.
The consultancy firm acting on Ryanair's behalf considered that the start of Ryanair's operations had a significant positive impact on the level of per passenger non-aeronautical revenues of the airport.
Shema je potrebna, ker v nasprotnem primeru družba easyJet na zadevnih rutah letov ne bi opravljala vse leto.
On this basis, the report claims that the approach used to date in its MEOP profitability analysis as well as in the Commission's analysis [85] were conservative, as they did not include this increase in the airport revenues.
Je sorazmerna, ker prispevek zajema le del stroškov poslovanja družbe easyJet.
The report undertakes an empirical analysis using a sample of 57 European airports meant to be as similar as possible to the airports assessed in the present investigation.
Sklepna ugotovitev
The result is that the start of Ryanair's operations [86] in 29 of those airports led to an increase of around 12,0-13,7 % in non-aeronautical revenues per departing passenger in real terms (over and above inflation), this effect being statistically significant.
Družba easyJet je sklenila, da v obravnavanem obdobju ni prejela nobene nezakonite državne pomoči od sardinskih letališč ali sardinskih organov.
This is likely to be due to Ryanair passengers spending more than passengers from other airlines, partly as a result of limited catering facilities provided on-board low-cost carriers, and as a result of the start of Ryanair's operations resulting in the development of the terminal—for example, by attracting additional retail outlets.
PRIPOMBE, PREDLOŽENE GLEDE UPORABE SMERNIC ZA LETALSKI SEKTOR IZ LETA 2014 ZA ZADEVNE UKREPE
The report also finds that this effect held for low-cost carriers more generally.
Družba easyJet trdi, da je že dokazala, da ni prejela nezakonite državne pomoči iz več razlogov, na katere nove smernice ne vplivajo.
Due to the growth in the low-cost carrier industry with strong brands that carry significant levels of passenger traffic, the start of a low-cost carrier's operations at an airport could result in significant development of the airport and hence higher non-aeronautical revenues on a per-passenger basis.
Poudarja, da sta v oddelku 3.5 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 dva načina za ugotavljanje, ali sporazumi med letališči in letalskimi prevozniki uspešno opravijo preskus udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu in so zato brez državne pomoči.
Based on the sample of airports considered, the start of operations by full-fare carriers, in contrast, does not have a significant impact on airports' non-aeronautical per passenger revenues.
Prva je metoda referenčne vrednosti, vendar Komisija to metodo zavrača zaradi precejšnje prisotnosti državnih subvencij na letalskem trgu.
According to that report, the results highlight the conservative nature of the approach used to date in its MEOP profitability analysis as well as in the Commission's analysis.
Druga predlagana metoda zajema ugotavljanje, ali zadevni komercialni sporazum dodatno prispeva k donosnosti letališča s predhodnega vidika (oddelek 3.5.2 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014).
These analyses do not assume any accelerated growth in airports' non-aeronautical revenues on a per passenger basis and hence do not capture the wider benefits of Ryanair's operations from airports, but only uprated estimates of non-aeronautical revenues per departing passenger by the much lower rate of inflation.
Družba easyJet navaja, da „Komisija meni, da je najustreznejše merilo za oceno dogovorov, ki jih sklenejo letališča s posameznimi letalskimi prevozniki, predhodna analiza dodatne dobičkonosnosti“.
The consultancy firm therefore expected its MEOP analysis and the Commission's analysis to underestimate the expected profitability of Ryanair's arrangements at the airport.
Po mnenju družbe bi morala ocena načeloma temeljiti na poslovnem načrtu, v katerem bi se upoštevale informacije in predvidljivi razvojni trendi, ki so bili na voljo v času sklenitve zadevnega sporazuma.
COMMENTS FROM EASYJET
Družba easyJet poudarja, da sta lahko družbi SOGAER in GEASAR, kot je bilo pojasnjeno v pripombah z dne 30. julija 2013, predhodno predvideli pozitivni gospodarski donos pogodb.
easyJet operations in Sardinia
Ugotavlja, da pozitivni gospodarski donos temelji na naslednjih dejavnikih: (i) družba easyJet se je zavezala, da bo zagotavljala dejavnosti trženja, opravljala lete med dvema točkama in dosegla cilje glede števila potnikov, kot je določeno v pogodbah; (ii) družba easyJet je upravljavcu letališča predložila poslovne načrte za celotno trajanje pogodb in medijske načrte, da bi lahko upravljavec letališča preveril donosnost, in (iii) upravljavec letališča je potrdil donosnost naložb, ki izhaja iz dejavnosti trženja.
During the period 2010-2013, easyJet operated from Cagliari and Olbia airports.
Družba easyJet poudarja, da sta oba upravljavca letališč na podlagi informacij, ki so bile takrat na voljo, ugotovila, da naložbe letališčema prinašajo velik gospodarski donos.
The contract with Cagliari airport
Družba SOGAER se je za sklenitev pogodbe z družbo easyJet odločila na podlagi rezultata študije ekonomskega učinka.
The contract with Cagliari airport operator was signed on 14 December 2010, and was valid from 29 March 2010 to 28 March 2013 [87].
Družba easyJet poudarja tudi, da se je zaradi njenih dejavnosti oglaševanja in trženja bistveno povečala prepoznavnost letališč Cagliari in Olbia ter posledično pritok potnikov na rutah na zadevni letališči.
The total value of the Cagliari contract was EUR […]: the contract provides that the airport operator of Cagliari airport should pay easyJet EUR […] for the first year, EUR […] for the second year and EUR […] for the third.
V zvezi s točko 5.2 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 družba easyJet ugotavlja, da so se nekoliko spremenili pogoji, pod katerimi lahko letalski prevozniki prejmejo pomoč za uvedbo novih rut.
The contract with Cagliari airport clarifies that, in order to boost the Region's economy and gain a suitable economic return, the Region decided to increase its marketing investments in the tourism industry and thus provided airport operators, year by year, with an amount to be spent for that purpose. easyJet committed to provide marketing activities, operate point to point flights, and reach passenger targets as indicated in the contract.
Po njenem mnenju bi lahko bila v tem primeru letališča v oddaljenih regijah, kot v tem primeru na otoku, na podlagi novih smernic upravičena do prožnejših dogovorov glede velikosti letališča in upravičenih namembnih krajev.
The contract includes a 3-year business and media plan prepared by easyJet and passenger targets to be reached by the airline company.
Trdi, da so nova merila za sprejemljivost zagonske pomoči ustrezno izpolnjena.
An economic impact study — commissioned to an external consultant — is attached to the contract and measures the return of the investment, resulting from marketing activities.
(223) Družba ugotavlja, da se bo v skladu s točko 5.2 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 za zagonsko pomoč štelo, da prispeva k doseganju cilja skupnega interesa, če je izpolnjen kateri od naslednjih pogojev: (i) pomoč poveča mobilnost državljanov Unije in povezljivost regij z odprtjem novih rut ali (b) pomoč spodbuja regionalni razvoj oddaljenih regij.
Failure by easyJet to comply with the commitment to operate the routes and frequencies agreed would entitle SOGAER not to pay the corresponding amount. easyJet gave a commitment to pay all relevant and standard airport fees and taxes to SOGAER.
V skladu s točko 2.2 smernic „oddaljene regije“ pomenijo „najbolj oddaljene regije, Malto, Ciper, Ceuto, Melillo, otoke, ki so del ozemlja države članice, in redko poseljena območja“.
Failure to pay the aforementioned fees and taxes would have been considered a breach of its obligations to SOGAER, which would have had the right to terminate the contract.
Družba easyJet trdi, da sta izpolnjeni obe navedeni merili.
Article 5 of the contract with Cagliari airport specifies that the provision of financial support is made conditional upon the granting of the relevant funds by the Region.
Poleg tega je zaradi pomanjkanja dejanskih nadomestnih načinov prevoza očitno izpolnjena tudi zahteva glede resnične potrebe po prevozu.
Contracts with Olbia airport
Družba easyJet opozarja, da se lahko zagonska pomoč dodeli letalskim prevoznikom z odhodi z letališč, ki imajo manj kot 3 milijone potnikov letno (točka 142 smernic za letalski sektor) in v posameznih primerih tudi tistim z odhodi z letališč, ki imajo več kot 3 milijone in manj kot 5 milijonov potnikov letno (točka 144).
The first contract with GEASAR was signed on 17 March 2011 and covered the period from 28 March 2010 to 27 March 2011 (EUR […] one off payment).
Kar zadeva letališče Olbia, s katerim je družba easyJet podpisala pogodbo leta 2011, je promet, evidentiran v letih 2009 in 2010, obsegal 1621945 oziroma 1591821 potnikov.
The second contract was signed on 25 January 2012 and covered the period from 27 March 2011 to 30 March 2013 [88] (up to EUR […] for the summer season 2011-winter season 2011/2012 and up to EUR […] for the summer season 2012-winter season 2012/2013).
Kar zadeva letališče Cagliari, s katerim je družba easyJet podpisala pogodbo leta 2010, je promet, evidentiran v letih 2008 in 2009, obsegal 2924805 oziroma 3317262 potnikov.
The last contract with Olbia airport was signed on 1 March 2013 and covered the period from 27 March 2013 to 30 March 2014 (up to EUR […]).
Po mnenju družbe easyJet bi morala Komisija v vsakem primeru skleniti, da je zagonska pomoč potrebna v skladu s točko 142 (v primeru letališča Cagliari) ali vsaj s točko 144 smernic za letalski sektor iz leta 2014.
The contracts do not mention that the public funds granted for the development of air transport are from the Region.
Kar zadeva ustreznost državne pomoči kot instrumenta politike, točka 147 določa, da je navedeno merilo izpolnjeno, če je izpolnjen kateri od naslednjih pogojev: (i) v predhodnem poslovnem načrtu, ki ga pripravi letalski prevoznik, je določeno, da mora ruta, za katero se prejema pomoč, po treh letih postati donosna za letalskega prevoznika, in sicer brez javnega financiranja, ali (ii) če letalski prevozniki nimajo poslovnega načrta za ruto, morajo zagotoviti nepreklicno zavezo letališču, da bo ruta delovala še najmanj tako dolgo, kot je bilo dolgo obdobje, v katerem je prejemala zagonsko pomoč.
easyJet states that the aim of the contract signed on 25 January 2012 was to further increase its operations within the airport by: (i) opening a new connection between Olbia and Madrid during summer season 2012; (ii) increasing the weekly frequency of transport from and to Berlin during winter season 2012/13; and (iii) developing the traffic flows in transit especially in the international markets, during the medium and low season.
Družba easyJet poudarja, da so poslovni načrti, ki so bili pripravljeni v času podpisa pogodb, potrdili pripravnost in trajnost sporazumov za letališča.
The purpose of the contract was to develop a marketing and advertising program with the financial participation of GEASAR.
Zagotovila se ni nobena formalna zaveza k opravljanju letov po prvotnem triletnem obdobju, vendar je navedeni pogoj dejansko trenutno izpolnjen, saj družba easyJet od prenehanja sporazuma leta 2013 še naprej uporablja letališči Cagliari in Olbia.
easyJet prepared a business plan, examined by GEASAR, which produced its own business plan with the purpose of verifying the financial viability of the contract.
V zvezi z obstojem spodbujevalnega učinka družba easyJet opozarja, da ima zagonska pomoč letalskim prevoznikom spodbujevalni učinek, če je verjetno, da ob odsotnosti pomoči raven gospodarske dejavnosti letalskega prevoznika na zadevnem letališču ne bi bila razširjena.
The airport operator verified the value of the investment based on the outcome of its own business plan [89].
Družba easyJet, ki se sklicuje na pripombe z dne 30. julija 2013, poudarja, da brez podpore, ki jo je prejela od družb SOGAER in GEASAR, razen v glavni sezoni ne bi opravljala letov na nobeni od zadevnih rut.
Elements of State aid
Kar zadeva sorazmernost zneska pomoči, družba easyJet ocenjuje, da je bilo navedeno merilo v tem primeru izpolnjeno.
In order to understand whether the measure in question has to be deemed State aid, easyJet goes through each of the criteria set out in Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
Nazadnje, kar zadeva izogibanje neupravičenim negativnim učinkom na konkurenco in trgovino, družba easyJet trdi, da rut, na katerih opravlja lete, ne more nadomestiti nobena železniška storitev za velike hitrosti ali druga oblika prevoza.
State resources
Poleg tega v ciljnih območjih letališč Cagliari in Olbia ni nobenega drugega letališča.
easyJet states that, although the contract with SOGAER specifically refers to the Sardinian regional Law 10/2010, pursuant to which the Region would grant such funds to the airport operator, there is no evidence that the funds received by easyJet from SOGAER and GEASAR were the same as those granted directly from the Region to the airport operators.
DODATNE PRIPOMBE GLEDE ANALIZE NAČELA UDELEŽENCA V TRŽNEM GOSPODARSTVU V ZVEZI Z LETALIŠČEM OLBIA
Firstly, easyJet argues that the reference to the regional law in the contract between SOGAER and easyJet in itself does not demonstrate a direct link between Sardinian regional funds and easyJet.
Družba easyJet trdi, da so sporazumi z letališčem Olbia skladni z načelom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
Moreover, the fact that that reference was not made in the contract between GEASAR and easyJet further demonstrates that the Law 10/2010 mentioned in the other contract was not material in the relationship between the airport operators and easyJet.
V zvezi s tem je Komisiji predložila poročilo, ki ga je pripravila svetovalna družba.
easyJet believes that the Commission should make a specific assessment pertaining to the easyJet contracts in order to verify whether the funds easyJet received from the airport operators effectively came from the Region before reaching the conclusion that the measure in question is State aid.
V navedeni študiji je analizirana pričakovana donosnost vsakega posameznega sporazuma o trženju, ki ga je družba easyJet sklenila z letališčem Olbia na popolnoma predhodni osnovi, v skladu z njenim razumevanjem pristopa Komisije v skladu s smernicami za letalski sektor iz leta 2014 in najnovejšo sodno prakso [91].
The distortion of competition within the internal market
Iz rezultatov je razvidno, da se je v skladu z ustreznimi predpostavkami v času podpisa sporazumov o trženju v letih 2010 in 2011 za vsak sporazum pričakovalo, da bo dovolj donosen [92].
easyJet states that the compensation received is not sufficient to adversely affect competition.
Kar zadeva sporazuma iz let 2010 in 2011, je neto sedanja vrednost strogo pozitivna tako v sporočenem osnovnem scenariju kot v več preskusih občutljivosti, kar kaže na to, da bi razumen zasebni vlagatelj verjetno ponudil podobna dogovora.
This is due to two main factors: the relatively low amount of compensation and the absence of airlines operating on the same routes as mentioned in the contracts.
Predloženi dokazi zato kažejo, da bi bil razumen vlagatelj v tržnem gospodarstvu v podobnih okoliščinah pripravljen skleniti podobne sporazume z družbo easyJet, v katerih so predvidena razumna predhodna pričakovanja za družbo GEASAR.
easyJet is the only airline that operates all the routes mentioned in the contract with SOGAER and almost all the routes mentioned in the contract with GEASAR.
Iz navedene analize je razvidno, da je družba GEASAR s sklenitvijo različnih sporazumov z družbo easyJet ravnala podobno, kot bi ravnal zasebni vlagatelj.
Airport operators invited other airlines to operate the same routes through the publication on their websites of the invitation for airlines to provide business plans to operate routes from/to Cagliari and Olbia, but only easyJet acted upon this opportunity.
PRIPOMBE DRUŽBE GEASAR S.P.A.
Since easyJet is the only airline operator on the relevant routes, no competitor can be harmed by the alleged aid.
(UPRAVLJAVCA LETALIŠČA OLBIA)
Thus, according to easyJet, there is no distortion of competition.
Na letališču Olbia poteka zlasti notranji in mednarodni komercialni potniški promet, poudarek pa je na turističnem prometu.
Absence of any economic advantage
Zračni promet na letališče Olbia in z njega doseže vrhunec v poletni sezoni, med majem in oktobrom.
easyJet states that the measure does not involve any economic advantage in its favour and bases its argumentation on the private investor principle.
Družba GEASAR poudarja, da zaradi lokacije letališča v otoški regiji, kakršna je Sardinija:
easyJet states that SOGAER and GEASAR were able to assess on an ex ante basis the positive economic return of the contracts.
ni mogoče šteti, da se prekriva z letališči v drugih državah članicah ali celinski Italiji;
The economic return is based on two factors: (i) easyJet gave a commitment to provide the marketing activities, operate the point-to-point flights, and reach the passenger targets provided for in the contracts; (ii) easyJet provided the airport operator with business plans that cover the period of the contracts as well as media plans, in order to allow the airport operator to verify the profitability; and (iii) the airport operator confirmed the return on the investment, resulting from the marketing activities.
letališče Olbia ne konkurira drugim letališčem na otoku (zlasti ne letališču Mario Mameli v Cagliari-Elmasu in letališču Alghero-Fertilia).
