English: With regard to the compatibility of compulsory levies with the system of common organisation of markets (hereinafter: CMO), the Commission considered that in this case, based on the Case C-355/00 Freskot [2003] ECR I-5263 [19], compulsory levies did not interfere, directly or indirectly, with the price of the end products concerned as the contributions did not influence product prices, which were determined by the free market. Therefore, the burden on meat products and livestock is neutralised by the advantage accrued from the funded activities.
Maltese: Fir-rigward tal-kumpatibbiltà tal-levies volontarji obbligatorji mas-sistema tal-organizzazzjoni komuni tas-swieq (minn hawn ‘il quddiem “CMO”) skont is-sentenza tat-22 ta’ Mejju 2003 Freskot [19], il-Kummissjoni kkunsidrat li f’dan il-każ, il-levies volontarji obbligatorji ma xekklux, direttament jew indirettament, il-prezzijiet tal-prodotti finali kkonċernati għaliex il-ġbir ma jaffettwax il-prezz tal-prodotti, peress li huma stabbiliti mis-suq ħieles. Għalhekk, il-ħlas impost fuq il-prodotti tal-laħam u l-annimali mrobbija huwa kkumpensat permezz tal-vantaġġ li joffru l-attivitajiet iffinanzjati. Konsegwentament, nistgħu nikkunsidraw li l-effetti tal-ġbir fuq il-prezz huma ferm limitati jew ineżistenti.
English: Consequently, the effects of the contribution on prices can be considered to be very limited or inexistent. III. COMMENTS FROM FRANCE
Maltese: III KUMMENTI TA’ FRANZA
English: In the light of the information received regarding the measure in question, the European Commission asked the French authorities a number of questions by letter of 2 October 2001. The Permanent Representation of France to the European Union replied to the Commission by letter of 9 November 2001.
Polish: W związku z otrzymanymi informacjami dotyczącymi przedmiotowego środka Komisja Europejska zwróciła się do władz francuskich w jego sprawie pismem z dnia 2 października 2001 r. Stałe Przedstawicielstwo Republiki Francuskiej przy Unii Europejskiej odpowiedziało Komisji pismem z dnia 9 listopada 2001 r.
English: According to point 194 of the Community’s guidelines for State aid in the agriculture and forestry sector 2007 to 2013 [10] (hereinafter: the agricultural guidelines), any unlawful aid must be evaluated in accordance with the rules and guidelines in force at the time the aid is granted. The agricultural guidelines have applied since 1 January 2007.
Polish: Zgodnie z pkt 194 wytycznych Wspólnoty w sprawie pomocy państwa w sektorze rolnym i leśnym na lata 2007–2013 [10] (zwanych dalej „wytycznymi dotyczącymi rolnictwa”) każdą niezgodą z prawem pomoc należy ocenić według zasad i wytycznych obowiązujących w chwili przyznania pomocy.
English: The previous guidelines, the Community guidelines for State aid in the agricultural sector (2000-2006) [11], had applied since 1 January 2000. Any aid granted after that date must be assessed in the light of the 2000 guidelines. By contrast, any aid granted before that date must be assessed in the light of the rules and practice applicable before 1 January 2000. The aid in question has been granted since 1996.
Polish: Wytyczne dotyczące rolnictwa mają zastosowanie od dnia 1 stycznia 2007 r. Wcześniejsze wytyczne, wytyczne Wspólnoty w sprawie pomocy państwa w sektorze rolnym (2000–2006) [11], miały zastosowanie od dnia 1 stycznia 2000 r. Stąd wszelką pomoc przyznaną po tej dacie należy oceniać w świetle wytycznych z 2000 r. Wszelką pomoc przyznaną przed tą datą należy natomiast ocenić w świetle przepisów i praktyki obowiązujących przed dniem 1 stycznia 2000 r. Przedmiotowa pomoc była przyznawana od 1996 r.
English: The mission of the IPO is to act in the interests of all the players in a sector, and they can conclude agreements for that purpose. These agreements and the collection of voluntary levies intended to fund the measures provided for in these agreements can be made compulsory (‘be extended’) by joint ministerial decree to all the stakeholders in the sector, whether or not they belong to a professional organisation which is an IPO member, so long as they comply with objectives laid down in legislation.
Portuguese: As OIP têm por objetivo conduzir ações no interesse de todos os elos do setor, podendo celebrar acordos para o efeito, os quais, juntamente com a cobrança de quotizações voluntárias para financiar as operações ao abrigo dos mesmos podem, em seguida, ser tornados obrigatórios («serem objeto de extensão»), por diploma interministerial, a todos os intervenientes do setor, independentemente de pertencer ou não a uma organização profissional membro da OIP, se cumprirem os objetivos previstos na legislação.
English: The French authorities also stated that the measures should have been notified. They went on to make the following remarks:
Portuguese: As autoridades francesas também observam que as medidas deviam ter sido notificadas e apresentaram as seguintes observações:
English: As set out in recitals 16 et seq., meat dispatched to other Member States was subject to a compulsory voluntary levy of EUR 0,0126/kg and, under the inter-branch agreement of 12 June 2001, a compulsory voluntary levy of EUR 0,024/kg. Moreover, under that agreement a refund of EUR 0,010/kg was provided for.
Romanian: Astfel cum s-a arătat în considerentul 16 și următoarele, carnea expediată către alte state membre făcea obiectul unei cotizații voluntare obligatorii de 0,0126 EUR/kg, iar, după încheierea acordului interprofesional din 12 iunie 2001, unei cotizații voluntare obligatorii de 0,024 EUR/kg În plus, conform acordului menționat mai sus, era prevăzut un sistem de rambursare de 0,010 EUR/kg
English: However, one live store animal weighs approximately 250 to 280 kg, which amounts to an average weight in meat (ratio of 65 %) of 163 kg. Therefore, the levy of FRF 7 per head was equivalent to a levy of FRF 0,042/kg, comparable to half of the levy imposed on meat.
Romanian: Or, un „broutard” cântărește între 250 și 280 kg viu, care echivalează cu o greutate medie de carne (pondere de 65 %) de 163 kg Astfel, cotizația de 7 FRF pe cap de animal echivala cu o cotizație de 0,042 FRF/kg, comparabilă cu jumătate din cotizația datorată pe carne.
English: These agreements and the collection of voluntary levies intended to fund the measures provided for in these agreements can be made compulsory (‘be extended’) by joint ministerial decree to all the stakeholders in the sector, whether or not they belong to a professional organisation which is an IPO member, so long as they comply with objectives laid down in legislation. The main aim of these agreements is to promote market awareness, inter-professional relations, quality and products. The Rural Code only authorises the extension of the agreements where there is ‘a common interest’ based on measures ‘in line with the general interest and compatible with the rules of the Common Agricultural Policy’ (cf. Article L.632-3 of the Rural Code).
Swedish: Dessa avtal och de frivilliga avgifter som har tagits ut för att finansiera de verksamheter som föreskrivs i sådana avtal kan göras obligatoriska (”utvidgas”) genom interministeriellt beslut för samtliga aktörer i produktionskedjan, oavsett om de är medlemmar i en godkänd branschövergripande sammanslutning eller ej, om de uppfyller de mål som anges i förteckningen i lagen. Syftet med avtalen är främst att förbättra kunskapen om marknaden, förbindelserna mellan aktörerna samt kvaliteten hos och marknadsföringen av produkterna. Enligt landsbygdslagen får avtalen endast utvidgas om de är av ”gemensamt intresse” baserat på verksamheter som är ”förenliga med det allmänna intresset och förenliga med bestämmelserna i den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken” (se artikel L.632–3 i landsbygdslagen).
English: Interbev also draws up joint specifications for the sector and is involved in the distribution and implementation of the charter on best livestock-farming practice and the code of best meat practice.
Swedish: Interbev utarbetar också kollektiva specifikationer för produktionskedjan och deltar i arbetet med att sprida och införa en stadga för bästa metoder i uppfödningen samt normer för bästa metoder vid arbete med kött.
English: It is also involved in improving transactions throughout the sector.
Swedish: Vidare deltar Interbev i arbetet med att klargöra transaktioner i hela produktionskedjan.
English: The agreements are extended by means of decrees published in the French Official Journal. It follows that this type of contribution therefore requires an official act in order to take full effect.
Swedish: Detta gjordes genom ett beslut som publicerades i Republiken Frankrikes officiella tidning, dvs. det krävdes en offentlig rättsakt för att man skulle kunna ta ut dessa avgifter.
English: The Commission also requested that a fact sheet be completed. However, the French authorities did not reply to the letter and the Commission did not adopt a position on the compatibility of the measures in question with the internal market.
Swedish: Kommissionen begärde också att en beskrivning skulle fyllas i. De franska myndigheterna svarade dock inte på denna skrivelse och kommissionen har aldrig uttalat sig om de berörda åtgärdernas förenlighet med den inre marknaden.
English: The Commission considers that the contested aid is not intended to promote the economic development of areas where the standard of living is abnormally low or where there is serious underemployment within the meaning of Article 107(3)(a). It is also not intended to promote the execution of an important project of common European interest or to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of a Member State within the meaning of Article 107(3)(b). Nor is it intended to promote culture and heritage conservation within the meaning of Article 107(3)(d).
Swedish: Kommissionen anser att stöden i fråga inte är avsedda att främja den ekonomiska utvecklingen i en region där levnadsstandarden är onormalt låg eller där det råder allvarlig brist på sysselsättning i enlighet med artikel 107.3 a. De är inte heller avsedda att främja genomförandet av ett viktigt projekt av gemensamt europeiskt intresse eller att avhjälpa en allvarlig störning i medlemsstatens ekonomi i enlighet med artikel 107.3 b. Stöden är inte heller avsedda att främja kultur eller bevara kulturarvet i enlighet med artikel 107.3 d.
