natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
A MEO operating an airport can in principle organise an open tender to offer financial incentives to an airline in order to increase traffic.
Skupna zmogljivost terminala letališča KLU je znašala 600000 potnikov na leto, ob koncu leta 2006 pa je letališče KLU uporabilo približno 409000 potnikov.
A open tender may indeed be a suitable manner to maximise the profits generated by such incentives.
V zvezi s pričakovanim dodatnim prometom v obsegu 23000 potnikov torej ne bi bile potrebne nobene naložbe, saj bi obstoječi terminal lahko sprejel dodatni promet.
However, if none of the bids submitted following such a tender can be expected by the airport operator to contribute, from an ex ante standpoint, to the profitability of the airport, then the MEO in question would not conclude any agreement even with the successful bidder, because it is not economically rational to conclude agreement reducing profits or increasing losses.
Komisija na podlagi analize informacij, ki jih je predložila Avstrija, ugotavlja, da je Avstrija pri ocenjevanju števila potnikov, pri čemer je na navedeni podlagi izračunala pričakovane dodatne prihodke iz letalske dejavnosti, uporabila smiseln pristop.
If a public entity of a Member State decides to provide support, for public policy reasons, to a certain activity and tenders out, for example, the amount of funding provided, the mere fact that a tender is organised does not rule out the presence of State aid, but may only minimise the amount of aid.
Enako velja za pričakovane dodatne prihodke iz letalskih dejavnosti, znižanje zaradi spodbujevalne sheme, pričakovane dodatne prihodke iz neletalskih dejavnosti, dodatne stroške storitev zemeljske oskrbe, ki jih opravlja tretja oseba, in stroške plačil za podjetje Austro Control.
The economic advantage was granted on a selective basis, as only one airline, namely Ryanair, benefitted from it.
Ker torej družbi KFBG in DMG nista ravnali kot udeleženki v tržnem gospodarstvu, sta z odločitvijo, da skleneta sporazume pod navedenimi pogoji, družbama Ryanair in AMS zagotovili gospodarsko prednost.
In this context, the argument advanced by Austria that the discounts on airport charges granted to airlines flying from Klagenfurt were not selective must be rejected.
Ta rezultat v zvezi s sporazumi iz leta 2006 ni v nasprotju z dejstvom, da spodbujevalna shema iz leta 2005 (ki se je uporabila v sporazumih iz leta 2006) sama po sebi ni vključevala gospodarske prednosti, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah od 261 do 288.
Austria argued that the discounts were open to all airlines wishing to operate from Klagenfurt, which allegedly rendered them non-selective.
Sporazumi iz leta 2006 zajemajo uporabo navedene sheme skupaj s sporazumom o storitvah trženja.
The Commission observes that the individual agreements concluded with Ryanair diverges from the schedule of charges and from agreements with other airlines, thus containing individually-negotiated conditions.
Zadevni sporazumi torej odstopajo od običajne uporabe spodbujevalne sheme iz leta 2005.
A measure granted by a State is considered to distort or to threaten to distort competition when it is liable to improve the competitive position of the recipient compared to other undertakings with which it competes.
Obseg tega odstopanja pomeni gospodarsko prednost za sporazume iz leta 2006.
For all practical purposes, a distortion of competition is thus assumed as soon as a State grants a financial advantage to an undertaking in a liberalised sector where there is, or could be, competition.
V tem kontekstu Komisija ugotavlja tudi, da so sporazumi z družbo Ryanair iz leta 2006 odstopali od seznama pristojbin in od sporazumov z drugimi letalskimi prevozniki.
The case law of the European Courts has established that any grant of aid to an undertaking exercising its activities in the internal market can be liable to affect trade between Member States.
Komisija ugotavlja, da lahko prednost, zagotovljena družbama Ryanair in AMS, izkrivlja konkurenco in vpliva na trgovino med državami članicami zaradi razlogov iz uvodnih izjav od 387 do 389.
Since the entry into force of the third package on the liberalisation of air transport on 1 January 1993, air carriers can freely operate flights on intra-European connections.
Iz navedenih razlogov Komisija ugotavlja, da sta družbi Ryanair in AMS prejeli državno pomoč, ki znaša 141326 EUR.
As the Court of Justice has observed,
Sporazum z družbo HLX iz leta 2003
‘where an undertaking operates in a sector in which […] producers from various Member States compete, any aid which it may receive from the public authorities is liable to affect trade between the Member States and impair competition, inasmuch as its continuing presence on the market prevents competitors from increasing their market share and reduces their chances of increasing exports.’.
Družba HLX z opravljanjem storitev zračnega prevoza opravlja gospodarsko dejavnost in torej pomeni podjetje v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
The Commission has found that KFBG/DMG granted a selective advantage to Ryanair, LV and AMS.
Sporazum z družbo HLX iz leta 2003 je prav tako mogoče pripisati državi na podlagi istih razlogov, kot so pojasnjeni v uvodni izjavi 314.
Ryanair with its subsidiaries is active on a competitive, Union-wide market and the advantage these undertakings received was liable to improve their competitive position on that market.
Avstrija je tudi izrecno potrdila dejavno sodelovanje zvezne dežele Koroške in mesta Celovec pri sklepanju sporazumov z družbo HLX iz leta 2003.
In this light, the Commission finds that the advantage granted to Ryanair, LV and AMS is liable to distort competition and affect trade between Member States.
Poleg tega sta stroške sporazumov iz leta 2003 krila zvezna dežela Koroška in mesto Celovec (glej oddelek 7.1), kar je po mnenju Komisije dodaten jasen kazalnik pripisljivosti državi, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 314.
For the foregoing reasons, the Commission finds that Ryanair, LV and AMS have received State aid, amounting to EUR […] in net present value terms.
Komisija zato meni, da je sklenitev sporazuma med družbami KFBG in DMG ter družbo HLX leta 2003 mogoče pripisati državi.
The 2006 agreements with Ryanair and AMS
Ta časovni okvir se zdi realen zaradi istih razlogov, kot so navedeni v uvodnih izjavah 368 in 369.
Ryanair provides air transport services.
Sporazum je prenehal veljati 31. marca 2008.
AMS provides marketing services.
Preudaren udeleženec v tržnem gospodarstvu ne bi upošteval možnosti podaljšanja sporazuma.
Ryanair and AMS are therefore undertakings within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU.
Na dan sklenitve takega sporazuma ne bi imel na voljo dovolj kazalnikov, na podlagi katerih bi se lahko zanesel na to, da bodo sporazumi z nizkocenovnimi prevozniki podaljšani.
Until 2003 the shares of KFBG/DMG were held by the Republic of Austria (60 %), the State of Carinthia (20 %) and Klagenfurt city (20 %).
Zato bi končni datum ocene bil 31. marec 2008.
KFBG/DMG must thus be considered public undertakings within the meaning of Article 2 (b) of Directive 2006/111/EC whose funds are State resources.
Avstrija je na zahtevo Komisije pripravila pregled dodatnih stroškov in prihodkov, ki jih je bilo mogoče pričakovati v času sklenitve zadevnega sporazuma, kot je povzet v preglednici 12.
The 2006 agreements with Ryanair, AMS and LV are also imputable to the State.
Preglednica 12
For the general involvement of the State of Carinthia in the activities of the airport, in particular the conclusion of the marketing agreement with the airlines, see above reference (314) et seq.
Dodatna donosnost sporazuma z družbo HLX iz leta 2003 na podlagi podatkov Avstrije
Further, the Republic of Austria explicitly confirmed this involvement also with reference to the 2006 agreements with Ryanair and AMS.
4 leta in 7 mesecev
In the light of these considerations, the Commission considers that there are sufficient indicators to find that the conclusion of the 2006 agreements between KFBG/DMG and Ryanair/AMS are imputable to the State.
Obračanja:
Regarding the current lack of comparable airports and agreements and the ex ante analysis of incremental profitability of the 2006 agreements reference is made to the assessment under recitals 261 to 278.
Odhajajoči potniki:
That study made no attempt to factor in the specific marketing services agreements at KLU in comparison to those possibly offered in other airports.
Spodbude:
Market Economy Operator Principle — Regarding an analysis of the marketing services agreements and the airport services agreement together
Obdobje: 4 leta in 7 mesecev
Indeed, as for the 2002 agreements, there are several indications pointing towards the fact that the 2006 agreements should be evaluated as one single measure since they were entered into within the framework of a single transaction.
Prispevek letalskega prevoznika
First, according to the marketing agreement, ‘this agreement is rooted in Ryanair's commitment to operate on a route between STN and KLU[…]’.
Nobenega pristopa zaradi metode na podlagi bruto vrednosti
Second, the contracts were entered into by essentially the same parties.
Prispevek zvezne dežele Koroške k stroškom
The Commission refers to recital 326 regarding the subsidiary AMS of Ryanair and regarding the subsidiary DMG of KFBG.
Prihodki iz neletalskih dejavnosti
Third, according to both agreements they both lasted until 21 April 2007, i.e. they were in force for an identical period of time.
Obseg trženja v skladu s sporazumom o sodelovanju
This contemporaneous expiry of both agreements after the same period of time also shows that both agreements are linked and depended on each other.
Popravljen, kot je navedeno v okviru stroškov projekta
In conclusion, the marketing services agreement concluded by DMG and AMS is thus indivisibly linked to the airport services agreement signed by Ryanair and KFBG.
Stroški projekta na podlagi mejnih stroškov
The above considerations demonstrate that without the airport services agreement, the marketing services agreement would not have been concluded.
Tretje osebe za vodenje prometa – 51 %
Indeed, the marketing services agreement states explicitly that it is based on a 3-a-week-service between STN and KLU, and essentially envisages marketing services using the travel website www.ryanair.com aimed at promoting that service between STN and KLU.
(Austro Control – varnost v letalstvu)
For those reasons, the Commission considers it appropriate to analyse the airport services agreement of 23 August 2006 and the marketing services agreement of 21 December 2006 jointly, with a view to determining whether they constitute State aid.
(Pristojbina za varnost)
Austria has agreed in its comments to the extension decision with the approach taken in the extension decision to analyse together the airport services agreement and marketing services agreement signed at the same time.
Pristop k stroškom projekta glede na BAB 2002
On the other hand, certain interested parties, particularly Ryanair and AMS, question this approach as they consider that the marketing services agreement should be analysed separately.
Vsota stroškov projekta
The facts however confirm that the approach taken in the extension decision and approved by Austria, is well-founded as it has been demonstrated in recitals 324-333.
Skupni stroški
Therefore the airport service agreement and the marketing services agreement should be assessed jointly.
Analiza stroškov in koristi je pokazala pozitiven diskontirani rezultat evra.
A MEO will assess the incremental costs and revenues for the term of application of the agreements.
Pri pripravi preglednice 12 je Avstrija upoštevala naslednje:
As a time frame for an assessment of the agreements in question a MEO would have chosen as a starting point the date of the signature of the marketing agreement on 21 December 2006, which complemented the airport service agreement.
Pričakovani dodatni prihodki iz letalskih dejavnosti (pristojbine za zemeljsko oskrbo in pristajalne pristojbine na podlagi takratnih letaliških pristojbin) so bili izračunani za obdobje trajanja sporazuma o letaliških storitvah na podlagi pogojev, ki so bili dogovorjeni z družbo HLX.
Both agreements ended on 21 April 2007.
Avstrija je v zvezi z dodatnimi prihodki navedla skupni znesek […] EUR.
On the date of signature a prudent MEO would not have sufficient indications to rely on the agreements of a low-cost airline being renewed.
Avstrija je v svoji analizi navedla oceno […] EUR na odhajajočega potnika.
The end date for the assessment would therefore be the 21 April 2007.
Poleg tega je Avstrija v svojo analizo kot dodatne prihodke vključila plačila, ki jih je družba KFBG prejela od zvezne dežele Koroške ([…] EUR na leto).
Regarding the assessment of the agreements in question reference is made to the findings in recitals 373 to 377.
Kot pričakovane dodatne stroške, tj. kot stroške, ki izhajajo iz transakcije z družbo HLX ter se ne bi uresničili v hipotetičnem scenariju, je Avstrija navedla naslednja plačila:
Austria prepared that data for each of the agreements concluded, as summarised in Table 11.
plačila za storitve trženja, kot so določena v sporazumu o storitvah trženja med družbama KFBG in HLX; […] EUR v prvem letu; […] EUR v naslednjih letih in […] EUR v zadnjem letu,
Table 11
plačila za varnostne namene ustreznim avstrijskim javnim organom: upoštevala se je pristojbina za varnost v znesku […] EUR na leto, saj je bilo v sporazumu med družbama KFBG in HLX določeno, da mora družba KFBG plačati to pristojbino.
Incremental profitability of contracts with Ryanair and AMS of 2006 prepared by Austria
Podobno se je upoštevala pristojbina v višini […] EUR na leto, plačana družbi Austro Control, saj je morala družba KFBG v skladu s sporazumom plačati tudi to pristojbino,
4 months
Ti vrednosti izhajata iz sistema stroškovnega računovodstva, ki se izvaja od leta 2002 (BAB 2002) ter je vključeval stroškovne dejavnike, kot so pristojbina za pristajanje, pristojbina za potnike in pristojbina za oskrbo na ploščadi.
3 x weekly connection
Sistem stroškovnega računovodstva BAB 2002 je podrobno prikazoval različne primarne, sekundarne in splošne stroške, ki skupaj predstavljajo skupne stroške.
Calculation
Navedla je, da družba KFBG avgusta 2003 ni pričakovala nobenih dodatnih naložbenih stroškov zaradi dodatnega prometa.
Load:
Skupna zmogljivost terminala letališča KLU je znašala 600000 potnikov na leto, ob koncu leta 2002 pa je letališče KLU uporabilo približno 220000 potnikov.
Pass.
V zvezi s pričakovanim dodatnim prometom v obsegu 103000 potnikov torej ne bi bile potrebne nobene naložbe, saj bi obstoječi terminal lahko sprejel dodatni promet.
Inc.
Diskontna stopnja, ki jo je uporabljala družba KFBG, je temeljila na 8-odstotni diskontni stopnji, ki jo je uporabljalo in objavilo letališče na Dunaju ter ki jo je družba KFBG enotno uporabljala v svojih finančnih izračunih.
Landing fee
Komisija se ne strinja s tem, da je Avstrija kot dodatne prihodke vključila plačila, ki jih je družba KFBG prejela od zvezne dežele Koroške ([…] EUR na leto), saj so bila dodeljena kot operativna podpora financiranju sporazuma z družbo HLX iz leta 2003 (glej oddelek 7.1) zaradi enakih razlogov, kot so pojasnjeni zgoraj (glej uvodno izjavo 381).

Analiza stroškov in koristi je pokazala negativen diskontirani rezultat evra.
Slot coordination
Ker je pričakovani diskontirani rezultat za sporazum z družbo HLX iz leta 2003 negativen, Komisija ugotavlja, da družba KFBG pri sklenitvi tega sporazuma ni ravnala kot udeleženka v tržnem gospodarstvu.
Security fee
Letališče ni moglo pričakovati, da bo pokrilo dodatne stroške, ki bi nastali na podlagi tega sporazuma.
ACG-fee
Ker torej družba KFBG ni ravnala kot udeleženka v tržnem gospodarstvu, je z odločitvijo, da sklene sporazum pod navedenimi pogoji, družbi HLX zagotovila gospodarsko prednost.
In preparing Table 11, Austria took the following considerations into account:
Gospodarska prednost je bila zagotovljena selektivno, saj je imel od nje koristi le en letalski prevoznik, tj. družba HLX.
The expected incremental traffic, i.e. the expected incremental passenger numbers were calculated from the envisaged number of flights per week (54 rotations during the foreseen period with 189 seats, a maximum take-off weight of 67 tonnes and a load factor of 85 %) and extrapolated for the duration of the airport services agreement with Ryanair.
V tem kontekstu Komisija ugotavlja tudi, da je sporazum z družbo HLX iz leta 2003 odstopal od seznama pristojbin in od sporazumov z drugimi letalskimi prevozniki.
As a result Austria indicated 8675 passengers for the foreseen period.
Komisija ugotavlja, da lahko prednost, zagotovljena družbi HLX, izkrivlja konkurenco in vpliva na trgovino med državami članicami zaradi razlogov iz uvodnih izjav od 387 do 389.
The expected incremental aeronautical revenues (handling and landing charges on the basis of the airport charges at the time) were calculated over the duration of the 4 months of the airport services agreement on the basis of the conditions agreed on with Ryanair.
Iz navedenih razlogov Komisija ugotavlja, da je družba HLX prejela državno pomoč, ki znaša […] EUR v smislu neto sedanje vrednosti.
As incremental revenues Austria indicated EUR […] in total for the 4 months.
Sporazum z družbo TUIfly iz leta 2008
Austria indicated that the total aeronautical revenue of EUR […] included a reduction due to the application of the incentive scheme for airlines of KFBG which was in force since 1 September 2005.
Družba TUIfly z opravljanjem storitev zračnega prevoza opravlja gospodarsko dejavnost in torej pomeni podjetje v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
The scheme had the objective to strengthen and secure existing flight connections by means of a passenger incentive.
Komisija ugotavlja, da sta družbi KFBG in DMG v 100-odstotni lasti države, tj. v 20-odstotni lasti mesta Celovec in v 80-odstotni lasti družbe KLH.
The application of this incentive lead to a reduction of EUR […].
Kot je opisano v uvodnih izjavah od 24 do 26, je bila družba KLH pravna oseba sui generis, urejena z javnim pravom.
The expected incremental non-aeronautical revenues (parking charges, spending in the terminals, etc.) were calculated over the duration of 4 months of the airport services agreement.
Zato je treba šteti, da sta družbi KFBG in DMG javni podjetji v smislu člena 2(b) Direktive 2006/111/ES.
Austria estimated EUR […] per departing passenger in its analysis, calculating this amount from the average non-aeronautical revenue per passenger over the period of the years 2001-2005.
Komisija meni, da bi vsaka prednost, zagotovljena iz sredstev družb KFBG in DMG, pomenila izgubo državnih sredstev in posledično prenos državnih sredstev zaradi razlogov iz uvodne izjave 313.
As a result Austria indicated EUR […] for the period of 4 months.
Sporazum z družbo TUIfly iz leta 2008 je prav tako mogoče pripisati državi.
As expected incremental costs, i.e. as costs arising because of the transaction with Ryanair and AMS that would not materialise in the counterfactual scenario Austria indicated the following payments:
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah od 228 do 232, je bilo mogoče odločitve družbe KLH in mesta Celovec pripisati državi.
Payments specified in the marketing agreement between AMS and DMG (EUR […] per year).
Oba delničarja družbe KFBG sta imenovala nadzorni svet družb KFBG in DMG (ta pa imenuje upravni odbor), pri čemer je nadzorni svet (in upravni odbor) družbe KFBG predstavljal tudi deleže političnih strank, ki so zastopane v vladi zvezne dežele Koroške.
Payments to a third party (Tyrolean Airways) as a subagent for the provision of ground handling services as described in recital 379 point (e).
Družbi KFBG in DMG sta pri sklepanju sporazuma z družbo TUIfly tudi dejavno zastopali interese zvezne dežele Koroške v zvezi z obstojem in vzdrževanjem uspešnega letališča v Celovcu za potrebe Koroške.
Payments for security purposes to the respective Austrian public authorities: the security fee of EUR […] per year was taken into account, as it was stipulated in the agreement between KFBG and Ryanair that KFBG had to pay this fee.
Avstrija je navedla, da je zvezna dežela Koroška sodelovala pri odločitvi o sklenitvi sporazuma z družbo TUIfly iz leta 2008, pri čemer so jo upravni odbori in nadzorni sveti družb KLH, KFBG in DMG dobro obveščali o sporazumu.
Incremental operating costs from the expected incremental traffic over the duration of the agreement: EUR […] per additional rotation and per tonne of MTOW and EUR […] per additional departing passenger.
Zvezna dežela Koroška je menila, da je sklenitev sporazuma v njenem interesu.
These values are derived from the cost accounting system in place since 2005 (BAB 2005) which comprised the cost factors of landing tariff, passenger tariff and ramp handling fee.
Avstrija je potrdila, da je mogoče sklenitev sporazumov med družbami KFBG in DMG ter TUIfly pripisati zvezni deželi Koroški v smislu sodne prakse v zadevi Stardust Marine.
The cost accounting system BAB 2005 showed in detail the different primary costs, secondary costs and overhead costs that added up to the total costs.
Glede na navedeno Komisija meni, da vse kaže na to, da je sklenitev sporazuma med družbami KFBG in DMG ter TUIfly iz leta 2008 mogoče pripisati državi.
Austria explained in details the procedural method how KFBG derived the incremental costs from certain positions of the primary costs.
V zvezi s predhodno analizo dodatne donosnosti sporazuma z družbo TUIfly je naveden sklic na oceno iz uvodnih izjav od 263 do 279.
Austria declared that KFBG did not expect in December 2006 any incremental investment costs due to the additional traffic.
Ta časovni okvir se zdi realen zaradi istih razlogov, kot so navedeni v uvodnih izjavah 368 in 369.
The terminal of KLU had a total capacity of 600000 passengers per year and at the end of 2006 around 409000 passengers used KLU.
Avstrija je na zahtevo Komisije pripravila pregled dodatnih stroškov in prihodkov, ki jih je bilo mogoče pričakovati v času sklenitve zadevnega sporazuma, kot je povzet v preglednici 12.
The expected incremental traffic of 23000 passengers would therefore not require any investments as the existing terminal could accommodate the incremental traffic.
Preglednica 14
Having analysed the information provided by Austria, the Commission finds that the approach taken by Austria in estimating the passenger numbers and calculating on that basis the expected incremental aeronautical revenues, is sound.
Dodatna donosnost sporazuma z družbo TUIfly iz leta 2008 na podlagi podatkov Avstrije
The same holds true with respect to the expected incremental aeronautical revenues, the reduction due to the incentive scheme, the expected incremental non-aeronautical revenues, incremental costs of the ground handling services by a third party and the costs for payments for Austro Control.
Prikaz bruto vrednosti
As the expected discounted result is negative for the agreements of 2006 with Ryanair and AMS, the Commission finds that KFBG/DMG did not act like a MEO in concluding those agreements.
Pristojbina za usklajevanje slotov
The Airport could not have expected to cover the incremental costs brought about by those agreements.
Prenos na družbo SCA na Dunaju
As KFBG/DMG thus did not behave like a MEO, its decision to conclude the agreements on those terms granted Ryanair and AMS an economic advantage.
