KLU further satisfies connectivity needs of the region in particular in view of its tourism sector for alpine summer and winter sports.
Za vsako obravnavano transakcijo (ki vključuje sporazum o letaliških storitvah in sporazum o storitvah trženja, če je primerno) je treba šteti, da je bil zaradi nje izplačan letni znesek pomoči za vsako leto v obdobju izvajanja sporazumov, ki so bili del transakcije.
The business profile of KLU corresponds to these needs of the region, offering a comfortable infrastructure for a number of scheduled flights to the main business centres in Germany (Berlin, Hamburg, Köln-Bonn and in the past also Munich) as well as Vienna.
Posamezni zneski so izračunani na podlagi negativnega dela napovedanih dodatnih tokov (prihodki, od katerih se odštejejo stroški) ob sklenitvi transakcije.
According to the information provided by Austria in the annual statements of accounts of KFBG the development of Klagenfurt Airport was also based on a sound passenger forecast.
Da bi se upoštevala dejanska prednost, ki je bila s sporazumi dodeljena letalskemu prevozniku in njegovim hčerinskim družbam, se lahko zneski iz zgornje uvodne izjave prilagodijo na podlagi dokazov, ki jih je predložila Avstrija, ob upoštevanju razlike med dejanskimi plačili za trženje, ki so bila naknadno določena in plačana letalskemu prevozniku in njegovim hčerinskim družbam v okviru sporazuma o storitvah trženja, na eni strani ter ujemajočimi (predhodno) napovedanimi stroški trženja na drugi strani.
Furthermore, it needs to be assessed whether a possible duplication of airport infrastructure could militate against finding that the operation of KLU meets a clearly defined objective of common interest.
Datumi dejanskega prenehanja nekaterih sporazumov
In this respect, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines define the catchment area as a geographic market boundary that is normally set around 100 km and around 60 minutes traveling time by car, bus, train or high-speed train.
Poleg tega Komisija meni, da je dejanska prednost, ki jo je prejel letalski prevoznik, omejena na obdobje izvajanja zadevne pogodbe.
At the same time, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines allow to deviate from the standard definition of the catchment area of a given airport in order to take into account the specificities of each particular airport.
Družba Ryanair in njene hčerinske družbe po prenehanju posameznega sporazuma dejansko niso prejele nobenih plačil na podlagi teh sporazumov ter niso uporabile dostopa do letališke infrastrukture in storitev zemeljske oskrbe na podlagi teh sporazumov.
In this respect, the size and shape of the catchment area may vary from airport to airport, including its business model, location and the destinations it serves.
Zato se zneski pomoči, ki so bili izračunani, kot je navedeno zgoraj, in so povezani z določenim sporazumom, zmanjšajo na nič za leta po prenehanju sporazuma (zlasti zaradi predčasne prekinitve sporazuma s strani letalskih prevoznikov).
Taking into account this concept, it can be assumed that Graz airport (128 km from Klagenfurt), Maribor airport (137 km from Klagenfurt), Trieste airport (203 km from Klagenfurt) and Salzburg airport (223 km from Klagenfurt) are not located in the same catchment area.
Zneske pomoči, ki jih morata družbi Ryanair in AMS vrniti za določene sporazume, ki so bili predčasno prekinjeni, je treba zato zmanjšati na nič za obdobje od datuma dejanskega prenehanja sporazuma do datuma prenehanja, ki je bil določen ob sklenitvi sporazuma.
Ljubljana airport in Slovenia is however nearby.
Ta točka velja za vse sporazume z dne 22. februarja 2002, ki niso ostali veljavni do 27. junija 2007, ampak so se prenehali uporabljati 29. oktobra 2005, ko je družba Ryanair prenehala izvajati svoje letališke storitve, pri čemer je bila njena zadnja storitev let v London.
The shortest distance by road from Klagenfurt to Ljubljana airport is 80 km and crosses the Karawanken mountain range, via the Loibl mountain pass, at 1068 metres above sea level.
Zneski pomoči, ki jih mora družba TUIfly vrniti za sporazum iz leta 2008, ki je bil predčasno prekinjen, je treba zmanjšati na nič za obdobje od datuma dejanskega prenehanja sporazuma do datuma prenehanja, ki je bil določen ob sklenitvi sporazuma.
The Austrian authorities pointed out that a travelling time of less than 60 minutes by car or bus is unrealistic, firstly, as that road is narrow, winding and steep and is difficult to negotiate even under normal conditions and in particular in the winter season, and secondly, as that road is closed several times every year due to rock fall or mudslides.
To velja za obdobje od 25. oktobra 2009, ko je družba TUIfly zadnjič nudila letališke storitve z letališča KLU.
The shortest alternative would be the motorway to the city of Villach and through the Karawanken road tunnel, but that distance would be around 130 km.
Upoštevana plačila za trženje
There is no high-speed train connection, and travelling time by train is between 2 hours 10 minutes and 2 hours 48 minutes.
Komisija je pri oceni preskusa udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu upoštevala plačila, določena v drugem sporazumu o storitvah trženja med družbama DMG in AMS ([…] EUR na leto).
In view of this geographical situation, it can therefore be concluded that Ljubljana airport is not in the catchment areas of KLU, as the travelling time between the two airports will often be longer than under best travelling conditions.
Plačila, določena v drugem sporazumu o storitvah trženja se bodo prav tako upoštevala v tem poglavju pri izračunu zneska pomoči, ki ga je treba vrniti.
Moreover, KLU and Ljubljana Airport pursue business models that are significantly different from each other: Klagenfurt offers mainly scheduled flights connecting Klagenfurt with main business centres such as Vienna, Berlin, Hamburg or Köln-Bonn and some charter flights to a number of holiday destinations.
Avstrija trdi, da se je drugi sporazum nadomestil s tretjim sporazumom in da ni začel veljati.
The destinations served at KLU are therefore limited to the need of the population of Carinthia, which is a fast and easy access to the main German speaking business centres and at the same time an easy access of tourists to the tourism industry in Carinthia.
Vendar te trditve ni podprla z nobenimi dokumenti in je le navedla, da v računovodskih izkazih družbe KFBG ni nobenih dokumentov v zvezi s plačili, ki bi dokazovali, da družba KFBG v okviru drugega sporazuma o storitvah trženja ni izvedla nobenih plačil.
Ljubljana airport as the main Slovenian airport of the Slovenian capital has more than 1 million annual passengers and offers a wide range of international destinations for scheduled and charter flights all over Europe with a focus on eastern European States.
Ker Komisija od Avstrije ni prejela nobenih pisnih dokazov o pravilnosti te izjave, se bo tudi drugi sporazum o storitvah trženja upošteval pri izračunu zneska za vračilo.
The Commission therefore considers that the operating aid granted to Klagenfurt Airport contributed to the achievement of the objective of common interest of improving the connectivity and regional development of the Carinthia region through the operation of transport infrastructure to meet the transport needs of the region.
Ta znesek se lahko pozneje prilagodi na podlagi dokazov, ki jih predloži Avstrija.
Need for State intervention
Naslednje preglednice vsebujejo informacije o različnih zneskih, ki se upoštevajo pri izračunu okvirnih zneskov za vračilo.
According to point 116 et seq. of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, operating aid to airports will be considered necessary if it brings about a material improvement that the market itself cannot deliver.
Ti zneski vključujejo negativne dele dodatnih tokov (dodatni prihodki, od katerih se odštejejo dodatni stroški), določene na podlagi preskusa udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, z znižanji za obdobja, v katerih plačila po sklenitvi sporazumov še niso zapadla ali so bili sporazumi predčasno prekinjeni.
The guidelines further recognise that the need for public funding to finance operating costs will normally be proportionately greater for smaller airports due to high fixed costs and that airports with annual passenger traffic between 200000 and 700000 passengers may not be able to cover their operating costs to a substantial extent.
Preglednica 18
After having served as many as approximately 520000 passengers per year in the past, the annual passenger numbers of KLU have stabilised at around 230000, which is well below 700000 passengers.
Informacije o okvirnih zneskih pomoči, ki so jih družba Ryanair in njene hčerinske družbe prejele in jih morajo vrniti
The airport was not able to generate enough revenues to cover its operating costs to a substantial extent, which the 2014 Aviation Guidelines identify as typical for airports of this size.
(v EUR)
Absent the aid in question, KFBG/DMG would likely have been forced to exit the market, depriving Carinthia of a transport infrastructure which plays a significant role in its accessibility and development (tourism).
Okvirni znesek pomoči, prejete na podlagi različnih sporazumov
Therefore the Commission considers that the operating aid to Klagenfurt Airport is necessary.
Okvirni znesek pomoči, ki jo je treba vrniti (v EUR)
Appropriateness of State aid as a policy instrument
Identiteta upravičenca/ sporazum
According to point 120 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines operating aid should be an appropriate policy instrument to achieve the intended objective or resolve the problem to be addressed.
julij 2005–oktober 2005.
Since KLU was loss-making at operating level the only appropriate instrument was operating aid that enabled the airport to continue operations ensuring connectivity of the Carinthia region.
Ryanair, LV in AMS:
Other instruments such as investment aid or regulatory measures do not seem appropriate to address the financial problems of KLU at the operating level.
sporazumi z dne 22. februarja 2002
Therefore the Commission considers that the operating aid granted to KLU is an appropriate instrument.
Ryanair in AMS:
Existence of incentive effect
sporazumi z dne 21. decembra 2006
According to point 124 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines the operating aid has an incentive effect if it is likely that in the absence of the operating aid and taking into account the possible presence of investment aid and the level of air traffic, the level of the economic activity of the airport would be significantly reduced.
Preglednica 19
The transport needs of the Carinthia region, which expressed in passenger numbers have stabilised over the years 2004-2010 at the level of 400000 passengers per annum (and have only since 2012 fallen down to 230000 passengers per annum).
Informacije o okvirnih zneskih pomoči, ki jih je družba HLX prejela in jih mora vrniti
Despite rather stable passenger numbers the airport was in the past however not able to cover its operating costs.
Okvirni znesek pomoči, prejete na podlagi sporazumov (v EUR)
The figures Austria submitted showed that without the operating aid the airport would have made significant losses in most of the relevant years.
avgust 2007–marec 2008
Therefore, without the operating aid, KFBG would have had to reduce traffic in order to reduce costs and losses, or otherwise, would have probably gone bankrupt, which would have probably led to the cessation of activity of the airport.
sporazum iz leta 2003
Therefore, without the operating aid, the airport could not have maintained the level of traffic and its economic activity would have to be reduced.
Preglednica 20
Proportionality of the aid amount (aid limited to the minimum necessary)
Informacije o okvirnih zneskih pomoči, ki jih je družba Tuifly prejela in jih mora vrniti
As regards necessity, the measures under investigation were limited to the minimum necessary to offset losses and allow KFBG/DMG to observe capital requirements and continue to operate viably.
april 2009–oktober 2009
The aid was necessary to keep the company afloat and did not exceed the amount required to cover operating losses.
sporazum iz leta 2008
The aid was therefore limited to the minimum necessary.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 326, Komisija meni, da se za namene uporabe pravil o državni pomoči družbe Ryanair, LV in AMS štejejo kot en gospodarski subjekt ter da je treba sporazume o storitvah trženja in pripadajoče sporazume o letaliških storitvah šteti kot eno transakcijo med tem subjektom in družbama KFBG/DMG.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the operating aid to KLU is proportionate.
Zato Komisija meni, da so družbe Ryanair, LV in AMS skupno in posamično odgovorne za vračilo vseh zneskov pomoči, prejetih v okviru sporazumov, podpisanih leta 2002 in leta 2006, pri čemer okvirna glavna zneska znašata 1827267 EUR in 141326 EUR.
Avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade
Komisija meni, da je družba HLX odgovorna za vračilo vseh zneskov pomoči, prejetih v okviru sporazuma, podpisanega leta 2003, pri čemer okvirni glavni znesek znaša 9566963 EUR.
According to point 131 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines when assessing the compatibility of operating aid to the airport, the Commission will take into account the distortions of competition and the effects on trade.
Družba HLX je bila ustanovljena leta 2002 in je pripadala združenju letalskih prevoznikov TUI.
An indication of potential competition distortions or effect on trade may be the fact that the airport is located in the same catchment area as another airport with spare capacity.
15. januarja 2007 je bila združena z družbo Hapagfly, prej družba Hapag-Lloyd Flug, s čimer je bila ustvarjena skupna blagovna znamka TUIfly, in od julija 2010 pridružena kot ta znamka.
As demonstrated in recital 503 et seq., taking into account the concept of a catchment area of around 100 km and travelling time of 60 minutes, it can be assumed that Ljubljana airport is not in the catchment area of Klagenfurt area.
Na podlagi tega je mogoče družbo TUIfly obravnavati kot pravnega naslednika družbe HLX, zato je odgovorna za vračilo vseh zneskov pomoči, ki jih je prejela družba HLX.
Moreover, Austria has confirmed that the airport infrastructure of KLU is made available to all airlines on non-discriminatory terms.
Komisija meni, da je družba Tuifly odgovorna za vračilo vseh zneskov pomoči, prejetih v okviru sporazuma, podpisanega leta 2008, pri čemer okvirni glavni znesek znaša 1134091 EUR.
KLU can be accessed, without any particular restrictions, by any airline wanting to use it.
Avstrijski organi morajo navedene zneske izterjati v štirih mesecih od datuma uradnega obvestila o tem sklepu.
This infrastructure can therefore be accessed in an equal and non-discriminatory manner within the meaning of the 2014 Guidelines.
Avstrijski organi morajo znesku pomoči prišteti tudi obresti za vračilo, ki se obračunavajo od datuma, ko je bila zadevna pomoč dana na voljo podjetju, tj. od vsakega dejanskega datuma dodelitve pomoči, do datuma njenega dejanskega vračila v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concludes that the operating aid granted to KLU is compatible with Article 107(3)(c) TFEU in the light of the compatibility conditions laid down in Section 5.1.2 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines.
Ob upoštevanju tega se datum, od katerega se obračunavajo obresti za plačilo, nanaša na datum, na katerega so bili odobreni posamezni zneski pomoči, tj. obroki.
The Commission further considers that since it found the operating aid to KFBG/DMG to be compatible under the 2014 Aviation Guidelines, it does not have to consider any other grounds of potential compatibility put forward by Austria.
V skladu z ustaljeno sodno prakso lahko država članica, ki naleti na nepredvidene ali nepredvidljive težave ali opazi posledice, ki jih je Komisija spregledala, te težave predloži v obravnavo Komisiji skupaj s predlogi za ustrezne spremembe.
Agreements with airlines — Applicable legal framework
V takem primeru morata Komisija in zadevna država članica v dobri veri sodelovati za odpravo težav, pri tem pa v celoti upoštevati določbe PDEU.
The Commission notes that Austria has not advanced any arguments to show that the aid granted to Ryanair and its subsidiaries is compatible with the internal market.
Komisija poziva Avstrijo, naj ji predloži kakršno koli težavo, na katero naleti pri izvajanju tega sklepa –
Following the case law of the Court of Justice, the Commission recalls that it is Austria's responsibility to indicate the legal basis on which a State aid measure could be found compatible with the internal market and to demonstrate that all required conditions are met.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJI SKLEP:
In the opening decision the Commission requested Austria to provide information on whether compatibility could be established pursuant to the 2005 Aviation Guidelines or directly under the TFEU.
Člen 1
Austria, however, did not make any submissions with a view to showing that the relevant conditions for compatible start-up aid under the 2005 Aviation Guidelines or directly under the TFEU were met.
Javno financiranje, odobreno družbama KFBG/DMG v obliki finančnih prispevkov med letoma 2000 in 2010, pomeni državno pomoč, ki je združljiva s členom 107(3)(c) PDEU.
Nor did the interested parties who submitted comments put forward any arguments demonstrating the compatibility of the State aid measure with the internal market.
Člen 2
The 2002 agreements with Ryanair
Shema spodbud za letališče KLU iz leta 2005 ne pomeni državne pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
The 2002 agreements were signed before the 2005 Aviation Guidelines were published on 9 December 2005.
Člen 3
With regard to the compatibility of aid granted before this date, point 85 of the 2005 Aviation Guidelines and point 174 of the 2014 Aviation Guidelines refer to the rules applicable at the time when the aid was granted.
Sporazum o poravnavi med družbama KFBG in AUA ne pomeni državne pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
Before the 2005 Aviation Guidelines were adopted, the Commission had adopted the 1994 Aviation Guidelines.
Člen 4
However, those guidelines did not specifically deal with the issue of operating aid aimed at promoting outbound air traffic from regional airports.
Sporazum o letaliških storitvah, ki sta ga družbi KFBG in Air Berlin sklenili 8. julija 2010 ne pomeni državne pomoči v smislu člena 107(1) PDEU.
This issue in fact gradually appeared as a result of a build-up of congestion at certain large European airports and the development of low-fare airlines, which did not yet exist in 1994.
Člen 5
Consequently, the 1994 Aviation Guidelines do not provide any relevant basis of compatibility for the aid to airlines in the present case.
Državna pomoč v višini 1827267 EUR, ki jo je Avstrija s kršenjem člena 108(3) PDEU nezakonito odobrila družbam Ryanair, LV in AMS, ni združljiva z notranjim trgom.
The Commission must therefore assess the compatibility of the aid in question directly on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Člen 6
In this respect, it should be noted that the Commission's assessment of this type of State aid has been refined over time, although some points have remained unchanged.
Državna pomoč v višini 141326 EUR, ki jo je Avstrija s kršenjem člena 108(3) PDEU nezakonito odobrila družbama Ryanair in AMS, ni združljiva z notranjim trgom.
These points stem from the general principles governing the compatibility of aid in accordance with the aforementioned provision of TFEU.
Člen 7
Accordingly, in the decision on Manchester airport of June 1999, the Commission found that reductions in airport charges granted in a non-discriminatory and time-limited manner as measures aimed at promoting new routes were compatible with the rules on State aid.
Državna pomoč v višini 9566963 EUR, ki jo je Avstrija s kršenjem člena 108(3) PDEU nezakonito odobrila družbi HLX, ni združljiva z notranjim trgom.
Subsequently, in its decision of February 2004 on Charleroi airport, the Commission explained that ‘Operational aid measures intended to help the launch of new airlines or strengthen certain frequencies may be a necessary tool for the development of small regional airports. The measures may indeed persuade the interested companies to take the risk of investing in new routes. However, in order to declare such aid compatible on the basis of Article 87(3)(c) TFEU, it should be determined whether this aid is necessary and in proportion to the objective sought, and whether it affects trade to an extent that is contrary to the common interest’.
Člen 8
The Commission therefore identified certain conditions to be met in order for this operating aid to be declared compatible, in particular the following:
Državna pomoč v višini 1134091 EUR, ki jo je Avstrija s kršenjem člena 108(3) PDEU nezakonito odobrila družbi Tuifly, ni združljiva z notranjim trgom.
the aid must contribute to the objective of Community interest of developing a regional airport through a net increase in traffic on new routes,
Člen 9
the aid must be necessary in the sense that it is not granted for a route already operated by the same or another airline or a similar route,
Avstrija od upravičencev izterja pomoč iz členov 5 do 8.
the aid must have an incentive effect in the sense that it must help to develop an activity that, after a certain period, is likely to become profitable, which implies that the aid is limited in time,
Zneski, ki jih je treba izterjati, morajo vključevati obresti od datuma, ko so bili dani na razpolago upravičencu, do datuma dejanske izterjave.
the aid must be proportional, i.e. the amount must be linked to the net development of traffic,
Obresti se izračunajo na podlagi obrestnoobrestnega računa v skladu s poglavjem V Uredbe (ES) št. 794/2004, kakor je bila nazadnje spremenjena z Uredbo Komisije (ES) št. 271/2008.
the aid must have been granted transparently and without discrimination and must not be combined with other types of aid.
Avstrija prekliče vsa neporavnana plačila pomoči iz členov 1 do 4 z začetkom od datuma sprejetja tega sklepa.
The 2005 Aviation guidelines and the 2014 Aviation guidelines precisely define these compatibility principles, but it remains the case that operating aid granted to airlines may be declared compatible by the Commission where it contributes to the development of smaller airports through a net increase in traffic on new routes, where the aid is necessary in the sense that it is not granted for a route already operated by the same or another airline or a similar route, where it is limited in time and where the route for which the aid is granted is likely to become profitable, where the amount is linked to the net development of traffic and where the aid is granted transparently and without discrimination, and where it is not combined with any other type of aid.
Člen 10
In this regard, in paragraph 212 of the opening decision, the Commission stated that it would assess the compatibility of the 2002 agreements with Ryanair, AMS and LV in the light of these criteria.
Izterjava pomoči iz členov 5 do 8 je takojšnja in učinkovita.
It should be noted that neither Austria nor any interested third party has disputed the application of these criteria.
Avstrija zagotovi, da se ta sklep izvede v štirih mesecih po uradnem obvestilu o tem sklepu.
In conclusion, the Commission takes the view that, in this case, the compatibility of the 2002 agreements should be assessed in the light of the aforementioned principles directly on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Člen 11
The 2006 agreements with Ryanair
Avstrija v dveh mesecih od datuma uradnega obvestila o tem sklepu Komisiji predloži naslednje informacije:
As regards start-up aid, the 2014 Aviation Guidelines state that: ‘the Commission will apply the principles set out in these guidelines to all notified start-up aid measures in respect of which it is called upon to take a decision from 4 April 2014, even where the measures were notified prior that date.
skupni znesek (glavnica in obresti), ki ga morajo upravičenci vrniti;
In accordance with the Commission notice on the determination of the applicable rules for the assessment of unlawful State aid, the Commission will apply to unlawful start-up aid to airlines the rules in force at the time when the aid was granted.
