The Commission refutes having adopted a position on the measures granted to BSCA by adopting the 2004 decision.
Commission staff working document – Frequently asked questions in relation with Commission Decision of 28 November 2005 on the application of Article 86(2) of the EC Treaty to State aid in the form of public service compensation granted to certain undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest, and of the Community Framework for State aid in the form of public service compensation, SEC/2007/1516 final, s. 6 (ej översatt till svenska).
As a result, the 2012 decision does not constitute a change to its pattern of conduct.
Rådets förordning (EG) nr 659/1999 av den 22 mars 1999 om tillämpningsföreskrifter för artikel 108 i fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktionssätt (EGT L 83, 27.3.1999, s. 1).
The Commission also refutes that the present decision constitutes a change to its decision-making practice concerning the distinction between economic activities and non-economic activities.

As regards the decision on Leipzig/Halle airport cited by Belgium to prove the alleged change to the Commission's pattern of conduct, the Commission refutes that it can concluded from that decision that it has in the past taken the view that tasks comparable to maintenance and traffic safety fall within the public policy remit (see recitals 397 to 399).

In conclusion, the Commission takes the view that recovery of the unlawful and incompatible aid granted to BSCA is not contrary to the principle of legitimate expectations.

CONCLUSION AND QUANTIFICATION OF THE AID TO BE RECOVERED FROM BSCA
Dom av den 15 februari 2001, Österrike mot kommissionen, C-99/98, REG 2001, s.
Aid unlawfully granted to BSCA
I-1101, ECLI:EU:C:2001:94, punkterna 34, 35 och 38.
The Commission finds that, by adopting the 2002 agreements and the 2003 investment decision, Belgium unlawfully granted aid to BSCA in breach of Article 108(3) TFEU.
Skäl 214 i beslutet från 2004.
The market price fee is the fee that BSCA should have paid so that each of the two measures (the 2002 agreements and the 2003 investment decision) has a zero net present value for the Region-SOWAER.
Dom av den 16 juni 1987 i mål 118/85, kommissionen mot Italien, REG 1987, s. 2599, ECLI:EU:C:1987:283, punkt 7, dom av den 18 juni 1998 i mål C-35/96, kommissionen mot Italien, REG 1998, s. I-3851, ECLI:EU:C:1998:303, punkt 36, dom av den 12 september 2000 i de gemensamma målen C-180/98 till C-184/98, Pavlov m.fl., REG 2000, s.
The Commission has determined the market price fee in line with the reasoning given in Section 6.1.2.2, which has shown that the 2002 agreements and the 2003 investment decision resulted in a concession fee below what a market economy operator guided by profitability prospects would have required.
I-6451, ECLI:EU:C:2000:428, punkt 75.
The Commission has taken into account that, on the signature of the 2002 SOWAER/BSCA agreement, a prudent operator would not have required BSCA to pay a fee reflecting the investments that SOWAER undertook to make under that agreement until the investments had been made and BSCA was earning the expected revenue from those investments.
Domen i målet Leipzig/Halle, punkt 102 och följande.
A prudent operator would have agreed to the fee increasing only when the new investments could be used by the airport manager.
Dom av den 24 mars 2011 i de gemensamma målen T-455/08, Flughafen Leipzig/Halle GmbH och Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG mot kommissionen, ECLI:EU:T:2011:117 och T-443/08, Freistaat Sachsen och Land Sachsen-Anhalt mot kommissionen (nedan kallad Leipzig/Halle-domen), REU 2011, s.
Otherwise, the airport manager might experience cash flow difficulties during the years when it was not yet able to earn operating revenue from the new infrastructure.
I-1311, punkterna 93, 95, 100 och 119.
The Commission also finds that the 2002 SOWAER/BSCA agreement provided for an increase in the concession fee in 2007, i.e. two years after the planned commissioning of the new terminal (2005).
Se även ADP-domen, som bekräftades genom domstolens dom av den 24 oktober 2002 i mål C-82/01P, Aéroports de Paris mot kommissionen, REG 2002, s. I-9297, ECLI:EU:C:2002:617, och genom domen av den 17 december 2008 i mål T-196/04, Ryanair mot kommissionen, REG 2008, s. II-3643, ECLI:EU:T:2008:585, punkt 88.
Consequently, the Commission takes the view that a prudent operator would have agreed to BSCA paying the fee set by the 2002 SOWAER/BSCA agreement up to two years after the end of the year of commissioning of the new terminal (i.e. in 2007), but would have required BSCA to pay a market price fee after that date, i.e. a fee allowing the entity Region-SOWAER to achieve a zero net present value over the whole period.

Punkt 35 i luftfartsriktlinjerna.
As the work was delayed and the terminal was finally commissioned in 2007, the Commission takes the view that BSCA should have paid a market price fee from the end of 2009, i.e. from 1 January 2010.
Radionavigeringssystem som möjliggör stöd i samband med landning vid dåligt väder.
The Commission has decided that the two-year delay in the work should be covered by the Region and SOWAER, and not by BSCA, as those entities were responsible for making the investments.
Kommissionens beslut (EU) 2016/1698 av den 20 februari 2014 om de åtgärder SA.22932 (11/C) (f.d.
It turns out that, even though traffic has proven to be much higher than predicted in 2002, the fees actually payable (shown in column (a) of Table 32) correspond to the expected variable concession fees (shown in column (a) of Table 31) due to the cap on the variable concession fee stipulated in 2002.
Domstolens dom av den 18 mars 1997 i mål C-343/95, Cali & Figli/Servizi ecologici porto di Genova, REG 1997, s. I-1547, ECLI:EU:C:1997:160, kommissionens beslut av den 19 mars 2003 i ärende N309/2002 och kommissionens beslut av den 16 oktober 2002 i ärende N438/2002 Stöd till hamnförvaltningen för utförande av myndighetsuppgifter.
Table 32 shows the elements making up the market price concession fee:
I enlighet med förordning (EG) nr 2320/2002 avses med luftfartsskydd”en kombination av åtgärder och mänskliga och naturliga resurser som syftar till att skydda den civila luftfarten mot olagliga handlingar”.

More generally, beyond 2013, for example for year (2013 + n), the market price concession fee will be: (a) + (9348451 + 2640013) × (1,02)n, i.e. (a) + 11988464 × (1,02)n, where (a) is the variable part of the concession fee payable by BSCA for the year (2013 + n).
Bilaga som utgör en väsentlig del av tillägg nr 6 till avtalet mellan regionen och BSCA.
As explained at the end of recital 685, for the years 2014 and 2015, part (a) will probably be capped.

In these calculations of the net present value and market price concession fee for the 2002 and 2003 measures, the Commission has assumed that there will be no cap after 2015.

From 2016, part (a) of the market price concession fee will therefore be 35 % of the aviation revenue.
Se fotnot 52.
Based on the assumptions and methods described above and if the concession fee paid by BSCA remains unchanged, the Commission concludes that, due to the 2002 agreements and the 2003 investment decision, BSCA has received and will receive up to 31 December 2015 the aid amounts (excluding interest) corresponding to the sum of columns (b) and (c) in Table 32.

These aid amounts are indicated in the following table:

Given the conclusions in Section 6.3.2 on the compatibility of the aid granted to BSCA, only the difference between the market price fee — calculated according to the methods described in recitals 680 to 683 — and the fee paid by BSCA since 4 April 2014 constitutes aid to be recovered.
