However, if an inseparable aspect of a State aid measure and the conditions attached to it (including its financing method when the financing method forms an integral part of the State aid measure) entail a violation of EEA law, the aid cannot be declared compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement [79].
Prispevek k natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa
Moreover, in assessing the compatibility of any State aid with the functioning of the EEA Agreement, the Authority will take account of any proceedings concerning infringements of Article 53 or 54 of the EEA Agreement which may concern the beneficiary of the aid and which may be relevant for its assessment under Article 61(3) of the EEA Agreement [80].
Pomoč za naložbe letališčem se bo štela za prispevek k doseganju cilja skupnega interesa, če:
Investment aid granted to airports either as individual aid or under an aid scheme will be considered compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement pursuant to Article 61(3)(c) provided that the cumulative conditions in point 79 are fulfilled as set out in points 84 to 108.

Investment aid to airports will be considered to contribute to the achievement of an objective of common interest, if it:
spodbuja regionalni razvoj.
increases the mobility of EEA citizens and the connectivity of the regions by establishing access points for intra-EEA flights; or
Kljub vsemu pa podvajanje nedobičkonosnih letališč ali ustvarjanje dodatne neuporabljene zmogljivosti ne prispeva k cilju skupnega interesa.
combats air traffic congestion at major EEA hub airports; or
Če je osnovni cilj naložbenega projekta ustvariti novo zmogljivost letališča, mora nova infrastruktura na srednji rok zadovoljiti napovedano povpraševanje letalskih prevoznikov, potnikov in špediterjev v ciljnem območju letališča.
facilitates regional development.
Vsaka naložba, ki nima zadovoljivih srednjeročnih obetov za uporabo ali zmanjšuje srednjeročne obete za uporabo obstoječe infrastrukture v ciljnem območju, se ne sme šteti kot naložba, katere cilj je skupni interes.
Nevertheless, the duplication of unprofitable airports or the creation of additional unused capacity does not contribute to an objective of common interest.
Zato bo Nadzorni organ imel pomisleke glede srednjeročnih obetov za uporabo letališke infrastrukture na letališču v ciljnem območju obstoječega letališča, kadar obstoječe letališče ne deluje s polno zmogljivostjo ali blizu polne zmogljivosti.
If an investment project is primarily aimed at creating new airport capacity, the new infrastructure must, in the medium-term, meet the forecasted demand of the airlines, passengers and freight forwarders in the catchment area of the airport.
Srednjeročne obete za uporabo je treba prikazati na podlagi preudarnih napovedi glede potniškega in tovornega prometa, ki so del predhodnega poslovnega načrta, pri čemer morajo ti obeti opredeliti verjetni učinek naložbe na uporabo obstoječe infrastrukture, kot je drugo letališče ali drugi načini prevoza, zlasti železniške povezave za visoke hitrosti.
Any investment which does not have satisfactory medium-term prospects for use, or diminishes the medium-term prospects for use of existing infrastructure in the catchment area, cannot be considered to serve an objective of common interest.
Potreba po posredovanju države
Accordingly, the Authority will have doubts as to the medium-term prospects for use of airport infrastructure at an airport located in the catchment area of an existing airport where the existing airport is not operating at or near full capacity.
Da bi se ocenilo, ali je državna pomoč učinkovita pri doseganju cilja skupnega interesa, je treba najprej opredeliti problem, ki ga je treba obravnavati.
The medium-term prospects for use must be demonstrated on the basis of sound passenger and freight traffic forecasts incorporated in an ex ante business plan and must identify the likely effect of the investment on the use of existing infrastructure, such as another airport or other modes of transport, in particular high-speed train connections.
Državna pomoč mora biti usmerjena v primere, ko taka pomoč lahko zagotovi pomembne izboljšave, ki jih trg sam ne more doseči.
Need for State intervention
Manjša letališča se pri razvijanju svojih storitev in privabljanju zasebnega financiranja za svoje naložbe v infrastrukturo pogosto spoprijemajo z manj ugodnimi pogoji kot velika letališča v EGP.
In order to assess whether State aid is effective in achieving an objective of common interest, it is necessary to identify the problem to be addressed.
Zaradi naštetih razlogov lahko imajo manjša letališča pod sedanjimi tržnimi pogoji težave z zagotavljanjem finančnih sredstev za svoje naložbe brez javnega financiranja.
State aid should be targeted towards situations where such aid can bring about a material improvement that the market itself cannot deliver.
Potreba po javnem financiranju za nove infrastrukture bo zaradi visokih fiksnih stroškov [81] različna, in sicer bo odvisna od velikosti letališča ter bo običajno večja za manjša letališča.
The conditions that smaller airports face when developing their services and in attracting private financing of their infrastructure investments are often less favourable than those faced by the major airports in the EEA.
Nadzorni organ meni, da se pod sedanjimi tržnimi pogoji lahko opredelijo naslednje kategorije letališč [82] in njihove sorazmerne finančne sposobnosti preživetja:
For those reasons, under present market conditions, smaller airports may have difficulties in ensuring the financing of their investments without public funding.
letališča z največ 200000 potniki na leto morda ne bodo zmožna v veliki meri pokriti svojih stroškov investicijskega vzdrževanja;
The need for public funding to finance infrastructure investments will, due to high fixed costs [81], vary according to the size of an airport and will normally be greater for smaller airports.
letališča z letnim potniškim prometom med 200000 in 1 milijonom potnikov običajno v veliki meri niso zmožna pokriti svojih stroškov investicijskega vzdrževanja;
airports with up to 200000 passengers per annum may not be able to cover their capital costs to a large extent;
Ustreznost državne pomoči kot instrumenta politike
airports with annual passenger traffic of between 200000 and 1 million are usually not able to cover their capital costs to a large extent;
Države Efte morajo prikazati, da je ukrep pomoči ustrezen politični instrument za doseganje nameravanega cilja ali za odpravljanje težav, ki se nameravajo reševati s to pomočjo.
airports with annual passenger traffic of 1–3 million should, on average, be able to cover their capital costs to a greater extent; (d) airports with annual passenger traffic of above 3 and up to 5 million should, in principle, be able to cover, to a large extent, all their costs (including operating costs and capital costs) but, under certain case-specific circumstances, public support might be necessary to finance some of their capital costs;
Ukrep pomoči se ne šteje za združljivega z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP, če je enak cilj mogoče doseči z drugimi, manj izkrivljajočimi instrumenti politik ali instrumenti pomoči.
airports with annual passenger traffic above 5 million are usually profitable and are able to cover all of their costs, except in very exceptional circumstances.
Države Efte se lahko v zvezi z uporabo različnih instrumentov politik in oblik pomoči odločajo različno.
Appropriateness of State aid as a policy instrument
Na splošno velja, da se zadevni ukrepi štejejo za primeren instrument, kadar je država Efte proučila druge možnosti politike in se je uporaba selektivnega instrumenta, kot je državna pomoč v obliki neposredne dodelitve, primerjala z manj izkrivljajočimi oblikami pomoči (kot so posojila, jamstva ali vračljivi predujmi).
The EFTA States must demonstrate that the aid measure is an appropriate policy instrument to achieve the intended objective or resolve the problems intended to be addressed by the aid.
Zaželeno je, da države Efte, kadar je mogoče, oblikujejo nacionalne sheme, ki izražajo glavna načela javnega financiranja, in navedejo najpomembnejše lastnosti načrtovanega javnega financiranja letališč.
An aid measure will not be considered compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement if other less distortive policy instruments or aid instruments allow the same objective to be reached.
Okvirne sheme zagotavljajo doslednost uporabe javnih sredstev, zmanjšajo upravno breme manjših organov, ki dodeljujejo pomoč, in spodbujajo izvajanje posameznih ukrepov pomoči.
The EFTA States can make different choices with regard to the use of different policy instruments and forms of aid.
Poleg tega so države Efte pozvane, naj podajo jasne smernice za izvajanje financiranja državne pomoči v korist regionalnih letališč.
In general, where an EFTA State has considered other policy options and the use of a selective instrument, such as State aid in the form of a direct grant, has been compared with less distortive forms of aid (such as loans, guarantees or repayable advances), the measures concerned are considered to constitute an appropriate instrument.
Obstoj spodbujevalnega učinka
Wherever possible, EFTA States are encouraged to design national schemes that reflect the main principles underlying public financing and indicate the most relevant features of the planned public funding of airports.
Delo v zvezi s posamezno naložbo se lahko začne šele po predložitvi vloge organu, ki dodeljuje pomoč.
Framework schemes ensure coherence in the use of public funds, reduce the administrative burden on smaller granting authorities and accelerate the implementation of individual aid measures.
Če se delo začne pred predložitvijo vloge organu, ki dodeljuje pomoč, se nobena pomoč, dodeljena za zadevno naložbo, ne bo štela za združljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP.
Further, EFTA States are encouraged to give clear guidance for the implementation of State aid financing for regional airports.
Naložbeni projekt na letališču je lahko z gospodarskega vidika privlačen sam po sebi.
Existence of incentive effect
Zato je treba preveriti, ali se naložba brez državne pomoči ne bi izvedla oziroma ali se ne bi izvedla v enakem obsegu.
Works on an individual investment can start only after an application has been submitted to the granting authority.
Če se to potrdi, bo Nadzorni organ menil, da ima ukrep pomoči spodbujevalni učinek.
If works start before an application is submitted to the granting authority, any aid awarded in respect of that individual investment will not be considered compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement.
Spodbujevalni učinek opredeljuje analiza hipotetičnih scenarijev, ki primerja ravni načrtovanih dejavnosti s pomočjo in brez nje.
An investment project at an airport may be economically attractive in its own right.
Kadar ni znan noben poseben hipotetični scenarij, je lahko spodbujevalni učinek predviden, kadar obstaja vrzel v financiranju stroškov investicijskega vzdrževanja, tj. kadar je na podlagi predhodnega poslovnega načrta mogoče prikazati, da obstaja razlika med pozitivnimi in negativnimi denarnimi tokovi iz poslovanja (vključno s stroški za naložbe v osnovna sredstva) med trajanjem naložbe v neto sedanji vrednosti [83].
Therefore, it needs to be verified that the investment would not have been undertaken or would not have been undertaken to the same extent without any State aid.
Sorazmernost pomoči (pomoč, omejena na najmanjšo potrebno)
If this is confirmed, the Authority will consider that the aid measure has an incentive effect.
Najvišji dovoljeni znesek državne pomoči se izrazi kot odstotek upravičenih stroškov (največja intenzivnost pomoči).
The incentive effect is identified through counterfactual analysis, comparing the levels of intended activity with aid and without aid.
Upravičeni stroški so stroški, povezani z naložbami v letališko infrastrukturo, vključno s stroški načrtovanja, infrastrukturo za zemeljsko oskrbo (kot so tekoči trakovi za prtljago itd.) in letališko opremo.
Where no specific counterfactual is known, the incentive effect can be assumed when there is a capital cost funding gap, that is to say, when on the basis of an ex ante business plan, it can be shown that there is a difference between the positive and negative cash flows (including investment costs into fixed capital assets) over the lifetime of the investment in net present value terms [83].
Stroški naložb, povezani z neletalskimi dejavnostmi (zlasti z dejavnostmi parkirišč, hotelov, restavracij in pisarniških prostorov), niso upravičeni [84].
Proportionality of the aid amount (aid limited to the minimum)
Stroški za naložbe, povezani s storitvami zemeljske oskrbe (kot so avtobusi, vozila itd.), so upravičeni le, če so del infrastrukture za zemeljsko oskrbo [85].
The maximum permissible amount of State aid is expressed as a percentage of eligible costs (the maximum aid intensity).
Da bi bila pomoč za naložbe letališčem sorazmerna, je treba njen znesek omejiti na dodatne stroške (brez dodatnih prihodkov), ki izhajajo iz izvajanja projekta/dejavnosti z dodeljeno pomočjo, in ne iz drugega projekta/dejavnosti, ki bi ga/jo upravičenec izvajal v hipotetičnem scenariju, tj. če ne bi prejel pomoči.
Eligible costs are the costs relating to the investments in airport infrastructure, including planning costs, ground handling infrastructure (such as baggage belts etc.) and airport equipment.
Kadar ni znan noben poseben hipotetični scenarij, znesek državne pomoči, da bi bil sorazmeren, ne sme preseči vrzeli v financiranju naložbenega projekta (tako imenovane „vrzeli v financiranju stroškov investicijskega vzdrževanja“), ki se določi na podlagi predhodnega poslovnega načrta kot neto sedanja vrednost razlike med pozitivnimi in negativnimi denarnimi tokovi iz poslovanja (vključno s stroški za naložbe) v času trajanja naložbe.
Investment costs relating to non-aeronautical activities (in particular parking, hotels, restaurants and offices) are ineligible [84].
Za pomoč za naložbe bi moral poslovni načrt zajemati obdobje gospodarske uporabe sredstva.
The investment costs relating to the provision of ground handling services (such as buses, vehicles, etc.) are ineligible, insofar as they are not part of ground handling infrastructure [85].
Vrzel v financiranju se bo razlikovala glede na velikost letališča ter bo običajno večja za manjša letališča, zato bo Nadzorni organ za zagotovitev splošne sorazmernosti uporabil različne največje dovoljene intenzivnosti pomoči.
In order to be proportionate, investment aid to airports must be limited to the extra costs (net of extra revenues) which result from undertaking the aided project/activity rather than the alternative project/activity that the beneficiary would have undertaken in the counterfactual scenario, that is to say, if it had not received the aid.
Intenzivnost pomoči ne sme preseči največje dovoljene intenzivnosti pomoči za naložbe in v nobenem primeru ne sme presegati dejanske vrzeli v financiranju naložbenega projekta.
Where no specific counterfactual is known, in order to be proportionate, the amount of the aid should not exceed the funding gap of the investment project (so-called ‘capital cost funding gap’), which is determined on the basis of an ex ante business plan as the net present value of the difference between the positive and negative cash flows (including investment costs) over the lifetime of the investment.
Naslednja preglednica povzema največjo dovoljeno intenzivnost pomoči glede na velikost letališča, izmerjeno po številu potnikov na leto [86].
For investment aid the business plan should cover the period of the economic utilisation of the asset.
Velikost letališča glede na povprečni potniški promet (število potnikov na leto)
As the funding gap will vary according to the size of the airport and is normally wider for smaller airports, the Authority will use a range of permissible maximum aid intensities to ensure overall proportionality.
Največja intenzivnost pomoči za naložbe (%)
The aid intensity must not exceed the maximum permissible investment aid intensity and should, in any case, not go beyond the actual funding gap of the investment project.
> 3–5 milijonov
The following table summarises the maximum permissible aid intensity depending on the size of the airport as measured by the number of passengers per annum [86].
do 25

1–3 milijonov
Maximum investment aid intensity (%)
do 50
> 3-5 million
< 1 milijon
up to 25

1-3 million
Največje intenzivnosti pomoči za pomoč za naložbe za financiranje letališke infrastrukture se lahko povečajo za največ 20 % za letališča v oddaljenih regijah ne glede na njihovo velikost.
up to 50
Letališča s povprečnim prometom manj kot 1 milijon potnikov na leto morajo prispevati najmanj 25 % financiranja skupnih upravičenih stroškov za naložbe.
< 1 million
Vendar lahko naložbeni projekti na nekaterih letališčih v obrobnih regijah EGP in s povprečnim prometom manj kot 1 milijon potnikov na leto povzročijo vrzel v financiranju, ki je večja od največjih dovoljenih intenzivnosti pomoči.
up to 75
Intenzivnost, ki presega 75 %, je lahko upravičena v izjemnih okoliščinah za letališča s prometom manj kot 1 milijon potnikov na leto, kar je treba oceniti za vsak primer posebej in je odvisno od posebnih značilnosti vsakega letališča, naložbenega projekta ter regije, v kateri deluje.
The maximum aid intensities for investment aid to finance airport infrastructure may be increased by up to 20 % for airports located in remote regions irrespective of their size.
Da bi Nadzorni organ upošteval posebne okoliščine v zvezi s premestitvijo obstoječega letališča in prenehanjem letaliških dejavnosti na obstoječi lokaciji, bo ocenil zlasti sorazmernost, nujnost in najvišjo intenzivnost dodeljene državne pomoči na podlagi analize vrzeli v financiranju ali hipotetičnega scenarija vsakega posameznega primera ne glede na povprečni potniški promet zadevnega letališča.
Airports with average traffic below 1 million passengers per annum should contribute at least 25 % to the financing of the total eligible investment costs.
V zares izjemnih okoliščinah, ko obstaja jasna tržna pomanjkljivost, ter ob upoštevanju razsežnosti naložbe, neizvedljivosti financiranja naložbe na kapitalskih trgih, zelo visoke ravni pozitivnih zunanjih učinkov in izkrivljanja konkurence lahko letališča, ki imajo v povprečju več kot 5 milijonov potnikov na leto, prejmejo pomoč za financiranje letališke infrastrukture.
However, investment projects at certain airports with average traffic below 1 million passengers per annum located in peripheral regions of the EEA may result in a funding gap which is higher than the maximum permissible aid intensities.
Vendar bo Nadzorni organ v takih primerih vedno opravil natančno oceno, zlasti oceno sorazmernosti, nujnosti in najvišje intenzivnosti dodeljene državne pomoči na podlagi analize vrzeli v financiranju in hipotetičnega scenarija vsakega posameznega primera ne glede na povprečni potniški promet zadevnega letališča.
Subject to a case-by-case assessment and depending on the particular characteristics of each airport, investment project and the region served, intensity exceeding 75 % may be justified in exceptional circumstances for airports with traffic volume below 1 million passengers per annum.
Izogibanje neupravičenim negativnim učinkom na konkurenco in trgovino
In order to take account of the specific circumstances regarding the relocation of an existing airport and cessation of airport activities at an existing site, the Authority will assess, in particular, the proportionality, the necessity and the maximum aid intensity of the State aid granted on the basis of the funding gap analysis or the counterfactual scenario of each specific case, regardless of the average passenger traffic of that airport.
Izkrivljajoče učinke ima lahko zlasti podvajanje nedobičkonosnih letališč ali ustvarjanje dodatne neuporabne zmogljivosti v ciljnem območju obstoječe infrastrukture.
Additionally, under very exceptional circumstances, characterised by a clear market failure and taking into account the magnitude of the investment, the impossibility to finance the investment on capital markets, a very high level of positive externalities and the competition distortions, airports with average traffic over 5 million passengers per annum may receive aid to finance airport infrastructure.
V skladu s tem bo Nadzorni organ načeloma imel pomisleke glede združljivosti naložbe v letališko infrastrukturo na letališču v ciljnem območju obstoječega letališča [87], kadar obstoječe letališče ne deluje s polno zmogljivostjo ali blizu polne zmogljivosti.
However, in such cases, the Authority will always carry out an in-depth assessment, in particular on the proportionality, the necessity and the maximum aid intensity of the State aid granted on the basis of the funding gap analysis and the counterfactual scenario of each specific case, regardless of the average passenger traffic of that airport.
Poleg tega se lahko za omejitev morebitnih negativnih učinkov pomoči, kadar se letališča soočajo z blagimi proračunskimi ovirami [88], pomoč za naložbe letališčem s prometom največ 5 milijonov potnikov dodeli kot vnaprejšnji fiksni znesek za pokritje upravičenih investicijskih stroškov ali v letnih obrokih za nadomestilo za vrzel v financiranju stroškov investicijskega vzdrževanja, ki je rezultat poslovnega načrta letališča.
Avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade
Da se dodatno omejijo vsa izkrivljanja, mora biti letališče, vključno z vsako naložbo, za katero je dodeljena pomoč, odprto za vse morebitne uporabnike in se ne sme nameniti le enemu določenemu uporabniku.
In particular, the duplication of unprofitable airports or the creation of additional unused capacity in the catchment area of existing infrastructure might have distortive effects.
V primeru fizične omejitve zmogljivosti bi bilo treba dodelitev izvesti na podlagi bistvenih, nepristranskih, preglednih in nediskriminatornih meril.
Accordingly, the Authority will, in principle, have doubts as to the compatibility of investment into airport infrastructure at an airport located in the catchment area of an existing airport [87] where the existing airport is not operating at or near full capacity.
Zahteve glede priglasitve za sheme pomoči in posamezne ukrepe pomoči
Further, in order to avoid the negative effects of aid that may arise where airports face soft budget constraints [88], investment aid to airports with traffic of up to 5 million passengers can be granted either as an upfront fixed amount to cover eligible investment costs or in annual instalments to compensate for the capital cost funding gap resulting from the business plan of the airport.
Zaželeno je, da države Efte priglasijo sheme državne pomoči za pomoč za naložbe letališčem s povprečnim letnim prometom manj kot 3 milijone potnikov.
In order to further limit any distortions, the airport, including any investment for which aid is granted, must be open to all potential users and must not be dedicated to one specific user.
Pri ocenjevanju sheme pomoči se bodo pogoji v zvezi z nujnostjo pomoči, spodbujevalnim učinkom in sorazmernostjo pomoči šteli za izpolnjene, če se bo država Efte zavezala, da bo dodelila posamezno pomoč v skladu z odobreno shemo pomoči šele, ko bo preverila, da so izpolnjeni kumulativni pogoji iz tega oddelka.
In the case of physical limitation of capacity, the allocation should be done on the basis of pertinent, objective, transparent and non-discriminatory criteria.
Zaradi večjega tveganja za izkrivljanje konkurence je treba naslednje ukrepe pomoči vedno priglasiti posebej:
Notification requirements for aid schemes and individual aid measures:
pomoč za naložbe letališčem s povprečnim letnim prometom več kot 3 milijone potnikov;
