Nevertheless, such differentiated pricing policies should be commercially justified to satisfy the MEO test [57].
Da se oceni, ali je dogovor, ki ga je letališče sklenilo z letalskim prevoznikom, v skladu s preskusom udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu, bi bilo treba upoštevati pričakovane prihodke iz neletalskih dejavnosti, ki izvirajo iz dejavnosti letalskega prevoznika, in letališke pristojbine brez vseh znižanj, podpore za trženje ali shem spodbud [60].
The Authority considers that arrangements concluded between airlines and an airport can be deemed to satisfy the MEO test when they incrementally contribute, from an ex ante standpoint, to the profitability of the airport.
Podobno bi bilo treba upoštevati tudi vse dodatne stroške, ki jih ima letališče v zvezi z dejavnostjo letalskega prevoznika na letališču [61].
The airport should demonstrate that, when setting up an arrangement with an airline (for example, an individual contract or an overall scheme of airport charges), it is capable of covering all costs stemming from the arrangement, over the duration of the arrangement, with a reasonable profit margin [58] on the basis of sound medium-term prospects [59].
Taki dodatni stroški bi lahko obsegali vse kategorije odhodkov ali naložb, npr. dodatne stroške za zaposlene, opremo in naložbe, nastale zaradi prisotnosti letalskega prevoznika na letališču.
In order to assess whether an arrangement concluded by an airport with an airline satisfies the MEO test, expected non-aeronautical revenues stemming from the airline's activity should be taken into consideration together with airport charges, net of any rebates, marketing support or incentive schemes [60].
Če se mora letališče na primer razširiti ali zgraditi nov terminal ali druge objekte zlasti za izpolnitev potreb določenega letalskega prevoznika, bi bilo treba take stroške upoštevati pri izračunu dodatnih stroškov.
Similarly, all expected costs incrementally incurred by the airport in relation to the airline's activity at the airport should be taken into account [61].
Nasprotno pa se stroški, ki bi jih letališče moralo kriti v vsakem primeru in ne glede na dogovor z letalskim prevoznikom, ne bi smeli upoštevati pri preskusu udeleženca v tržnem gospodarstvu.
Such incremental costs could encompass all categories of expenses or investments, such as incremental personnel, equipment and investment costs induced by the presence of the airline at the airport.
Kadar je upravljavec letališča prejel združljivo pomoč, se prednost, ki izhaja iz take pomoči, ne prenese na določenega letalskega prevoznika [62], če sta izpolnjena naslednja pogoja: infrastruktura je odprta za vse letalske prevoznike [63] (to vključuje infrastrukturo, ki jo bodo verjetneje uporabljale določene kategorije, kot so nizkocenovni prevozniki ali ponudniki čarterskih poletov) in ni namenjena le določenemu letalskemu prevozniku, letalski prevozniki pa plačajo tarife, ki pokrijejo najmanj dodatne stroške, kot je določeno v točki 64.
For instance, if the airport needs to expand or build a new terminal or other facilities mainly to accommodate the needs of a specific airline, such costs should be taken into consideration when calculating the incremental costs.
Poleg tega Nadzorni organ meni, da bi bila takšna pomoč, čeprav bi obstajala državna pomoč letalskim prevoznikom, pod takimi pogoji vsekakor združljiva z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP iz enakih razlogov, ki upravičujejo združljivost pomoči na ravni letališča.
In contrast, costs which the airport would have to incur anyway independently from the arrangement with the airline should not be taken into account in the MEO test.
Kadar je upravljavec letališča prejel nezdružljivo pomoč za naložbe, se prednost, ki izhaja iz take pomoči, ne prenese na določenega letalskega prevoznika, če sta izpolnjena naslednja pogoja: infrastruktura je odprta za vse letalske prevoznike in ni namenjena le določenemu letalskemu prevozniku, letalski prevozniki pa plačajo tarife, ki pokrijejo najmanj dodatne stroške, kot je določeno v točki 64.
Where an airport operator benefits from compatible aid, the advantage resulting from such aid is not passed on to a specific airline [62] if the following conditions are met: the infrastructure is open to all airlines [63] (this includes infrastructure which is more likely to be used by certain categories, like low-cost operators or charters) and not dedicated to a specific airline; and the airlines pay tariffs covering at least the incremental costs as defined in point 64.
Nadzorni organ meni, da pod takimi pogoji sektorske prednosti, dane industriji zračnega prevoza ali drugim uporabnikom, ni mogoče izključiti, vendar ne bi smela voditi k izterjavam od določenih letalskih prevoznikov ali drugih uporabnikov.
Furthermore, the Authority considers that under such conditions, even if there would have been State aid to the airlines, such aid would in any event have been compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement for the same reasons that justify the compatibility of the aid at the level of the airport.
Pri ocenjevanju dogovorov letališča/letalskih prevoznikov bo Nadzorni organ upošteval tudi, v kakšnem obsegu se lahko ocenjevani dogovori štejejo za del izvajanja splošne strategije letališča, ki pričakovano vodi k donosnosti, vsaj z dolgoročnega vidika.
Where an airport operator benefits from incompatible investment aid, the advantage resulting from such aid is not passed on to a specific airline if the following conditions are met: the infrastructure is open to all airlines and not dedicated to a specific airline; and the airlines pay tariffs covering at least the incremental cost as defined in point 64.
JAVNO FINANCIRANJE STORITEV SPLOŠNEGA GOSPODARSKEGA POMENA
The Authority considers that under such conditions a sectorial advantage to the airline industry or other users cannot be excluded but should not lead to recovery from specific airlines or other users.
Javni organi lahko v nekaterih primerih določene gospodarske dejavnosti, ki jih izvajajo letališča ali letalski prevozniki, opredelijo kot storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena (v nadaljnjem besedilu: SSGP) v smislu člena 59(2) Sporazuma EGP in sodne prakse v zadevi Altmark [64] ter zagotovijo nadomestilo za izvajanje takih storitev.
When assessing airport/airline arrangements, the Authority will also take into account the extent to which the arrangements under assessment can be considered part of the implementation of an overall strategy of the airport expected to lead to profitability at least in the long term.
V teh primerih se za smernice o pogojih, pod katerimi javno financiranje storitve splošnega gospodarskega pomena pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP, uporabita sporočilo o SSPG [65] in Uredba Komisije (EU) št. 360/2012 [66].
PUBLIC FUNDING OF SERVICES OF GENERAL ECONOMIC INTEREST
Pomoč v obliki nadomestil za javne storitve bo ocenjena v skladu s Sklepom Komisije 2012/21/EU [67] in okvirom SSGP [68].
In some cases, public authorities may define certain economic activities carried out by airports or airlines as services of general economic interest (‘SGEI’) within the meaning of Article 59(2) of the EEA Agreement and the Altmark case-law [64], and provide compensation for discharging such services.
Ti štirje dokumenti skupaj sestavljajo „sveženj SSGP“, ki se uporablja tudi pri nadomestilu, dodeljenemu letališčem in letalskim prevoznikom.
In such cases, the SGEI Communication [65] and Commission Regulation (EU) No 360/2012 [66] provide guidance on the conditions under which the public financing of an SGEI constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.
V nadaljevanju bo ponazorjena uporaba nekaterih načel, določenih v svežnju SSGP, ob upoštevanju nekaterih posebnosti tega sektorja.
Aid in the form of public service compensation will be assessed under Commission Decision 2012/21/EU [67] and the SGEI framework [68].
Prvo merilo iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark zahteva jasno opredelitev nalog, ki sestavljajo storitev splošnega gospodarskega pomena.
Together those four documents form the ‘SGEI package’, which also applies to compensation granted to airports and airlines.
Ta zahteva sovpada z zahtevo iz člena 59(2) Sporazuma EGP [69].
What follows illustrates the application of some of the principles set out in the SGEI package in the light of certain sectoral specificities.
V skladu s sodno prakso [70] je treba podjetjem, ki so pooblaščena za opravljanje SSGP, tako nalogo dodeliti z aktom javnega organa.
The first Altmark criterion requires a clear definition of the tasks which constitute a service of general economic interest.
Nadzorni organ je tudi pojasnil [71], da bi morala dejavnost, da bi veljala za SSGP, imeti posebne značilnosti, ki jih navadne gospodarske dejavnosti nimajo, in da cilj splošnega pomena, ki ga želijo doseči javni organi, ne more biti zgolj razvoj nekaterih gospodarskih dejavnosti ali gospodarskih območij, kakor je določeno v členu 61(3)(c) Sporazuma EGP [72].
This requirement coincides with that of Article 59(2) of the EEA Agreement [69].
V zvezi s storitvami zračnega prevoza se lahko obveznosti javne službe naložijo le v skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 1008/2008 [73].
According to case law [70], undertakings entrusted with the operation of an SGEI must have received that task by an act of a public authority.
Zlasti se take obveznosti lahko naložijo le v zvezi s posebno ruto ali skupino rut [74] in ne v zvezi s katero koli splošno ruto z odhodi z danega letališča, mesta ali regije.
The Authority has also clarified [71] that, for an activity to be considered as an SGEI, it should exhibit special characteristics as compared with ordinary economic activities, and that the general interest objective pursued by public authorities cannot simply be that of the development of certain economic activities or economic areas provided for in Article 61(3)(c) of the EEA Agreement [72].
Poleg tega se obveznosti javne službe v zvezi z ruto lahko uvedejo le, da se izpolnijo prevozne potrebe, ki jim obstoječa zračna ruta ali drug način prevoza ne more ustrezno zadostiti [75].
As regards air transport services, public service obligations can only be imposed in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 [73].
V zvezi s tem je treba poudariti, da skladnost z vsebinskimi in postopkovnimi zahtevami Uredbe (ES) št. 1008/2008 ne pomeni, da zadevnim državam Efte ni treba oceniti skladnosti s členom 61(1) Sporazuma EGP.
In particular, such obligations can only be imposed with regard to a specific route or group of routes [74], and not with regard to any generic route originating from a given airport, city or region.
V zvezi z letališči Nadzorni organ meni, da se lahko splošno upravljanje letališča v upravičenih primerih obravnava kot SSGP.
Moreover, public service obligations can only be imposed with regard to a route to fulfil transport needs which cannot be adequately met by an existing air route or by other means of transport [75].
Ob upoštevanju načel, navedenih v točki 69, je po mnenju Nadzornega organa to mogoče le, če bi bil del območja, ki ima morebitno korist od letališča, brez tega letališča izoliran od ostalega območja EGP v tolikšni meri, da bi to poseglo v njegov družbeni in gospodarski razvoj.
In this respect, it should be stressed that compliance with the substantive and procedural requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1008/2008 does not eliminate the need for the EFTA State(s) concerned to assess compliance with Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.
Taka ocena bi morala ustrezno upoštevati druge načine prevoza, zlasti železniške storitve za visoke hitrosti ali pomorske povezave s trajekti.
As far as airports are concerned, the Authority considers that it is possible for the overall management of an airport, in well-justified cases, to be considered an SGEI.
V takih primerih lahko javni organi letališču naložijo obveznost javne službe, da zagotovijo, da letališče ostane odprto za komercialni promet.
In the light of the principles outlined in point 69, the Authority considers that this can only be the case if part of the area potentially served by the airport would, without the airport, be isolated from the rest of the EEA to an extent that would prejudice its social and economic development.
Nadzorni organ ugotavlja, da imajo nekatera letališča pomembno vlogo v smislu regionalne povezljivosti izoliranih, oddaljenih ali obrobnih regij Unije.
Such an assessment should take due account of other modes of transport, and in particular of high-speed rail services or maritime links served by ferries.
Do takega položaja lahko pride zlasti v zvezi z najbolj obrobnimi regijami, pa tudi otoki in drugimi območji EGP.
In such cases, public authorities may impose a public service obligation on an airport to ensure that the airport remains open to commercial traffic.
Na zadevnih letališčih je lahko upravičeno določiti obveznosti SSGP, kar je treba oceniti za vsak primer posebej ter je odvisno od posebnih značilnosti vsakega letališča in regije, v kateri deluje.
The Authority notes that certain airports have an important role to play in terms of regional connectivity of isolated, remote or peripheral regions of the Union.
Ob upoštevanju posebnih zahtev, povezanih z obveznostmi javne službe za storitve zračnega prevoza [76], in popolne liberalizacije trgov zračnega prometa Nadzorni organ meni, da obveznosti javne službe, naložene letališčem, ne bi smele obsegati tudi razvoja komercialnih storitev zračnega prevoza.
Such a situation may, in particular, occur in respect of the outermost regions, as well as islands or other areas of the EEA.
Če eno od kumulativnih meril iz sodbe v zadevi Altmark ni izpolnjeno, nadomestilo za javne storitve upravičencu zagotavlja gospodarsko prednost in lahko pomeni državno pomoč v smislu člena 61(1) Sporazuma EGP.
Subject to a case-by-case assessment and depending on the particular characteristics of each airport and the region which it serves, it may be justified to define SGEI obligations in those airports.
Taka državna pomoč se lahko šteje za združljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP v skladu s členom 59(2), če so izpolnjena vsa merila združljivosti, oblikovana za uporabo tega odstavka.
In the light of the specific requirements attached to public service obligations for air transport services [76], and in view of the complete liberalisation of air transport markets, the Authority considers that the scope of public service obligations imposed on airports should not encompass the development of commercial air transport services.
Državna pomoč v obliki nadomestila za javne storitve je izvzeta iz obveznosti priglasitve iz člena 1(3) dela I Protokola 3 k Sporazumu o nadzornem organu in sodišču, če so izpolnjene zahteve, določene v Sklepu 2012/21/EU.
If one of the cumulative criteria of the Altmark judgment is not fulfilled, public service compensation provides an economic advantage to its beneficiary, and might constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement.
Področje uporabe Sklepa 2012/21/EU zajema nadomestilo za javne storitve, ki se dodeli:
Such State aid may be regarded as compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement pursuant to Article 59(2), if all the compatibility criteria developed for the application of that paragraph are met.
letališčem, na katerih povprečni letni promet ne presega 200000 potnikov [77] v obdobju trajanja pogodbe SSGP, in
State aid in the form of public service compensation is exempt from the notification requirement of Article 1(3) of Part I of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement if the requirements set out in Decision 2012/21/EU are met.
letalskim prevoznikom za zračne povezave do otokov, na katerih povprečni letni promet ne presega 300000 potnikov [78].
The scope of Decision 2012/21/EU covers public service compensation granted to:
Državna pomoč, ki ni zajeta v Sklepu 2012/21/EU, se lahko razglasi za združljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP v skladu s členom 59(2), če so izpolnjeni pogoji okvira za SSGP.
airports where the average annual traffic does not exceed 200000 passengers [77] over the duration of the SGEI entrustment; and
Vendar je treba poudariti, da se bodo za oceno v skladu s Sklepom 2012/21/EU in okvirom za SSGP uporabili premisleki o opredelitvi obveznosti javne službe, ki se naložijo letališčem ali letalskim prevoznikom, v točkah 69 do 73 teh smernic.
airlines, as regards air links to islands where the average annual traffic does not exceed 300000 passengers [78].
ZDRUŽLJIVOST POMOČI V SKLADU S ČLENOM 61(3)(c) SPORAZUMA EGP
State aid not covered by Decision 2012/21/EU can be declared compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement pursuant to Article 59(2), if the conditions of the SGEI Framework are met.
Če javno financiranje letališč in/ali letalskih prevoznikov pomeni pomoč, se ta lahko šteje za združljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP v skladu s členom 61(3)(c), če je v skladu z merili združljivosti za letališča iz oddelka 5.1 teh smernic in merili združljivosti za letalske prevoznike iz oddelka 5.2.
However, it should be noted that for assessment under both Decision 2012/21/EU and the SGEI Framework, the considerations on the definition of public service obligations imposed on airports or airlines in points 69 to 73 of these guidelines will apply.
Državna pomoč, dodeljena letalskim prevoznikom, ki postopno zmanjšuje donosnost letališča (glej točki 63 in 64 teh smernic), se bo štela za nezdružljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP v skladu s členom 61(1), razen če so izpolnjeni pogoji združljivosti za zagonsko pomoč iz oddelka 5.2 teh smernic.
COMPATIBILITY OF AID UNDER ARTICLE 61(3)(c) OF THE EEA AGREEMENT
Da bi Nadzorni organ ocenil, ali se za ukrep državne pomoči lahko šteje, da je združljiv z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP v skladu s členom 61(3)(c), na splošno prouči, ali oblika ukrepa pomoči zagotavlja, da je pozitivni učinek pri doseganju cilja skupnega interesa večji od njegovih možnih negativnih učinkov na trgovino in konkurenco.
If public funding granted to airports and/or airlines constitutes aid, that aid can be considered compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement pursuant to Article 61(3)(c) provided that it complies with the compatibility criteria for airports in Section 5.1 of these guidelines and for airlines in Section 5.2.
Sporočilo o posodobitvi področja državnih pomoči je pozvalo k določitvi in opredelitvi skupnih načel, ki se lahko uporabijo pri oceni združljivosti vseh ukrepov pomoči, ki jih izvaja Nadzorni organ.
State aid granted to airlines which incrementally decreases the profitability of the airport (see points 63 and 64 of these guidelines) will be deemed incompatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement pursuant to Article 61(1), unless the compatibility conditions for start-up aid set out in Section 5.2 of these guidelines are met.
Ukrep državne pomoči se bo štel za združljivega z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP v skladu s členom 61(3), če so izpolnjeni naslednji kumulativni pogoji:
To assess whether a State aid measure can be considered compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement pursuant to Article 61(3)(c), the Authority generally analyses whether the design of the aid measure ensures that the positive impact towards an objective of common interest exceeds its potential negative effects on trade and competition.
prispevek k natančno opredeljenemu cilju skupnega interesa: ukrep državne pomoči mora imeti cilj skupnega interesa v skladu s členom 61(3) Sporazuma EGP;
The communication on State aid modernisation (SAM) called for the identification and definition of common principles applicable to the assessment of compatibility of all aid measures carried out by the Authority.
potreba po posredovanju države: ukrep državne pomoči mora biti usmerjen v primere, ko taka pomoč lahko zagotovi pomembne izboljšave, ki jih trg sam ne more doseči, na primer z odpravljanjem tržne pomanjkljivosti ali obravnavanjem pomisleka glede enakosti ali kohezije;
An aid measure will be considered compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement pursuant to Article 61(3) provided that the following cumulative conditions are met:
ustreznost ukrepa pomoči: ukrep pomoči mora biti ustrezen politični instrument za usmerjenost k cilju skupnega interesa;
contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest: a State aid measure must have an objective of common interest in accordance with Article 61(3) of the EEA Agreement;
spodbujevalni učinek: pomoč mora spremeniti vedenje zadevnih podjetij tako, da prevzamejo dodatno dejavnost, ki je sicer ne bi izvajala brez pomoči ali bi jo izvajala omejeno ali na drugačen način ali na drugi lokaciji;
need for State intervention: a State aid measure must be targeted towards a situation where aid can bring about a material improvement that the market cannot deliver itself, for example by remedying a market failure or addressing an equity or cohesion concern;
sorazmernost pomoči (pomoč, omejena na najmanjšo potrebno): pomoč mora biti omejena na najmanjšo potrebno pomoč, ki lahko zagotovi dodatno naložbo ali dejavnosti na zadevnem območju;
appropriateness of the aid measure: the aid measure must be an appropriate policy instrument to address the objective of common interest;
izogibanje neupravičenim negativnim učinkom na konkurenco in trgovino med državami EGP: negativni učinki pomoči morajo biti ustrezno omejeni, tako da je splošno ravnovesje ukrepa pozitivno;
incentive effect: the aid must change the behaviour of the undertakings concerned in such a way that they engage in additional activity which they would not carry out without the aid or they would carry out in a restricted or different manner or location;
preglednost pomoči: države Efte, Nadzorni organ, gospodarski subjekti in zainteresirana javnost morajo imeti enostaven dostop do vseh relevantnih aktov in koristnih informacij o pomoči, odobreni v skladu z njimi, kot je navedeno v oddelku 8.2.
proportionality of the aid (aid limited to the minimum): the aid amount must be limited to the minimum needed to induce the additional investment or activity in the area concerned;
Kar zadeva državno pomoč v letalskem sektorju, so po mnenju Nadzornega organa navedena skupna načela upoštevana, kadar državna pomoč, dodeljena letališčem ali letalskim prevoznikom, izpolnjuje vse ustrezne pogoje iz oddelkov 5.1 in 5.2.
avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade between EEA States: the negative effects of the aid must be sufficiently limited, so that the overall balance of the measure is positive;
Skladnost z navedenimi pogoji torej pomeni združljivost pomoči z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP v skladu s členom 61(3)(c) Sporazuma EGP.
transparency of aid: EFTA States, the Authority, economic operators, and the interested public, must have easy access to all relevant acts and to pertinent information about the aid awarded thereunder as outlined in Section 8.2.
Če pa se zaradi nerazdružljivega vidika ukrepa državne pomoči in pogojev, ki zanj veljajo (vključno z načinom financiranja, če je z ukrepom pomoči neločljivo povezan), krši pravo EGP, pomoči ni mogoče razglasiti za združljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP [79].
As regards State aid in the aviation sector, the Authority considers that those common principles are respected when State aid granted to airports or airlines meets all the conditions outlined respectively in Sections 5.1 and 5.2.
Poleg tega bo Nadzorni organ pri ocenjevanju združljivosti vsake državne pomoči z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP upošteval vse postopke v zvezi s kršitvami člena 53 ali 54 Sporazuma EGP, ki lahko zadevajo upravičenca do pomoči in so lahko pomembne za njegovo oceno v skladu s členom 61(3) Sporazuma EGP [80].
Therefore, compliance with those conditions implies compatibility of the aid with the functioning of the EEA Agreement pursuant to Article 61(3)(c).
Pomoč za naložbe, dodeljena letališčem kot posamezna pomoč ali v skladu s shemo pomoči, se bo štela za združljivo z delovanjem Sporazuma EGP v skladu s členom 61(3)(c), če so izpolnjeni kumulativni pogoji iz točke 79, kot je določeno v točkah 84 do 108.
