English: A State aid measure is considered to be compatible with the functioning of the EEA Agreement pursuant to Article 61(3)(a) of the EEA Agreement when it is designed to promote the economic development of areas where the standard of living is abnormally low or where there is serious underemployment. However, as there are no such areas defined by the Norwegian regional aid map, this provision is not relevant [50].Moreover, the exception in Article 61(3)(b) of the EEA Agreement does not apply since the State aid granted under the Wood Scheme is not intended to promote the execution of an important project of common European interest or to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of Norway.
Finnish: Koska Norjan aluetukikartassa ei kuitenkaan ole määritelty tällaisia alueita, 61 artiklan 3 kohdan a alakohtaa ei voida soveltaa tähän tapaukseen [50].Myöskään ETA-sopimuksen 61 artiklan 3 kohdan b alakohdan poikkeusta ei voida soveltaa, sillä puualan tukiohjelmasta myönnetyn valtiontuen tavoitteena ei ole edistää Euroopan yhteistä etua koskevan tärkeän hankkeen toteutumista tai Norjan taloudessa olevan vakavan häiriön poistamista.
English: Practice of funding 100 % of project costs The Working Group Report provides that the scheme may finance the entire project costs in case it is difficult to identify anyone who can benefit directly from the project.
Finnish: Työryhmän raportissa todetaan, että ohjelmasta voidaan myöntää rahoitusta hankkeen kokonaiskustannuksiin, jos hankkeen suoraa edunsaajaa on vaikea tunnistaa.
English: Financing for the Wood Scheme was provided for in the Government proposal to the Parliament containing the State budget for the year 2000 (St. prp. nr. 1 (1999-2000)), where funding for the Wood Scheme was included in Chapter 1142 as item 71 [25]. The State budgets for subsequent years each earmarked amounts for the Wood Scheme [26].
Hungarian: A fafeldolgozási rendszer finanszírozását a 2000. évi költségvetést tartalmazó, parlamentnek szóló kormányjavaslat állapította meg (száma: St. prp. nr. 1 (1999-2000), ennek 1142. fejezetében 71. tételként szerepel a fafeldolgozási rendszer finanszírozása [25]. A következő évek állami költségvetései mind különítettek el összegeket a fafeldolgozási rendszer számára [26].
English: The authorities argue that the reference to ‘any period of three years’ makes it clear that the receiver of aid is not in a position to receive de minimis aid during any period of 3 years whether prior to or after the letter of consent. The obligation to submit information on aid received 3 years counted from the time of the letter of consent must be read in context with the text regarding the obligation not to receive aid over ‘any’ period of 3 years.
Hungarian: A jóváhagyó levél keltétől számított három éven belül kapott támogatásra vonatkozó információk benyújtásának kötelezettségét azzal a szöveggel együttesen kell értelmezni, amely előírja azt a kötelezettséget, hogy a kedvezményezett nem kaphat támogatást bármely hároméves időszakon belül.
English: Under the Wood Scheme the Norwegian authorities award financial grants to companies, authorities, business associations, unions, etc. which can contribute to the objectives of the scheme. The undertakings benefiting from such grants receive an economic advantage, i.e. the grant, which they would not have received in their normal course of business.
Hungarian: A fafeldolgozási rendszer keretében a norvég hatóságok pénzügyi támogatást nyújtanak a rendszer célkitűzéseihez hozzájárulni képes vállalatoknak, hatóságoknak, üzleti szövetségeknek, szervezeteknek stb. Az ilyen támogatásban részesülő vállalkozások a szokásos üzletmenet során nem elérhető gazdasági előnyhöz, vagyis támogatáshoz jutnak.
English: See also revised budget (St. prp. nr. 61 (1999-2000)). The Wood Scheme has been referred to in different manners including ‘Treprogrammet’ and ‘Verdiskapningsprogrammet for tre’ or by means of the original Recommendation from the Standing Committee to the Parliament (Innst. S. nr. 208 (1998-1999)).
Italian: Cfr. anche il bilancio riveduto (St. prp. nr. 61 (1999-2000)]. Si è fatto riferimento al regime legno in diversi modi compreso Treprogrammet e Verdiskapningsprogrammet for tre o per mezzo della raccomandazione originale del comitato permanente al Parlamento [Innst. S. nr. 208 (1998-1999)].
Hungarian: Lásd a felülvizsgált költségvetést is (száma: St. prp. nr. 61 [1999–2000]) A fafeldolgozási rendszert többféleképpen említették, többek között „Treprogrammet” és „Verdiskapningsprogrammet for tre” néven vagy az állandó bizottság parlamentnek szóló eredeti ajánlására hivatkozva (száma: Innst. S. nr. 208 (1998-1999)).
English: The latter covers tuition directly and principally applicable to the employee’s present or future position and providing qualifications which are not (or only to a limited extent) transferable to other firms or fields of work. General training is training involving tuition, not applicable only to the employee’s present or future position, but providing qualifications that are largely transferable to other entities and substantially improve employability of the employee.
Hungarian: Ez utóbbi magában foglalja az olyan oktatást, amely közvetlenül és elsősorban a munkavállaló jelenleg betöltött vagy későbbiekben betöltendő pozíciójához igazodik, és olyan képesítést ad, amely nem (vagy csak csekély mértékben) hasznosítható más vállalatoknál vagy más munkaterületeken; az általános képzés olyan oktatást tartalmazó képzés, amely nem csak vagy nem főképpen a munkavállaló jelenleg betöltött vagy későbbiekben betöltendő pozíciójában alkalmazható, hanem olyan képesítést ad, amely többnyire hasznosítható más vállalatoknál vagy munkaterületeken, és így lényegesen növeli a munkavállaló foglalkoztathatóságát.
English: The framework for the establishment of the Wood Scheme was laid down in further detail in a recommendation from a Parliamentary standing committee addressed to the Parliament (Innst. S. nr. 208 (1998-1999)), dated 3 June 1999 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Recommendation’). The Recommendation suggests that a working group be established in order to identify the strategies as well as the implementation and financing needs of the new scheme.
Italian: Il contesto per l’istituzione del «regime legno» è stato illustrato in modo più dettagliato in una raccomandazione al Parlamento da parte di una commissione parlamentare permanente (Innst. S. nr. 208 (1998-1999)], in data 3 giugno 1999 (di seguito denominata «la raccomandazione»). La raccomandazione propone, fra l’altro, di istituire un gruppo di lavoro per elaborare le strategie e le modalità di applicazione e per individuare il fabbisogno di finanziamento del nuovo regime.
English: In the light of the above, the conclusion of the Authority is that the Wood Scheme satisfies the test in Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement and hence constitutes State aid. However, the Norwegian authorities have argued that certain of the individual grants awarded under the Wood Scheme do not fall within the scope of the EEA Agreement or do not qualify as State aid.
Italian: Alla luce di quanto esposto finora, l’Autorità di vigilanza giunge alla conclusione che il «regime legno» soddisfa i requisiti dell’articolo 61, paragrafo 1, dell’accordo SEE e costituisce quindi un aiuto di Stato.
Portuguese: À luz do que precede, o Órgão de Fiscalização considera que o regime relativo ao sector da madeira cumpre os requisitos previstos no n.o 1 do artigo 61.o do Acordo EEE, pelo que constitui um auxílio estatal.
English: It follows from Article 14 of Part II of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement that the Authority shall decide that unlawful aid which is incompatible with the State aid rules under the EEA Agreement must be recovered from the beneficiaries. This is, however, without prejudice to (i) individual aid awards fulfilling the conditions for de minimis aid pursuant to the State Aid Guidelines or the de minimis Regulation; and (ii) individual awards being found to be compatible on the basis of compliance with the State Aid Guidelines on SMEs and/or research and development, or with the material rules in the block exemption Regulations on aid to SMEs and training, and which fulfil the relevant aid intensities set forth therein,
Italian: In virtù dell’articolo 14, parte II del protocollo 3 del citato accordo, l’Autorità decide che qualsiasi aiuto illegale che sia incompatibile con le norme in materia di aiuti di Stato ai sensi dell’accordo SEE, deve essere recuperato presso i beneficiari, senza comunque pregiudicare i) la concessione di aiuti individuali che soddisfino le condizioni per poter essere considerati aiuti de minimis ai sensi della guida sugli aiuti di Stato o del regolamento de minimis; e ii) la concessione di aiuti individuali ritenuti compatibili perché conformi alla guida sugli aiuti di Stato a favore delle PMI e/o della ricerca e dello sviluppo o alle norme sostanziali contenute nei regolamenti di esenzione per categoria sugli aiuti a favore delle PMI e sugli aiuti alla formazione e che rispettino le intensità d’aiuto stabilite da tali strumenti,
English: Procedural and Substantive Rules in the Field of State Aid — Guidelines on the application and interpretation of Articles 61 and 62 of the EEA Agreement and Article 1 of Part I of Protocol 3 to the Surveillance and Court Agreement, adopted and issued by the Authority on 19 January 1994, published in OJ L 231, 3.9.1994, p. 1, and EEA Supplement No 32, 3.9.1994, p. 1. The Guidelines were last amended by Decision No 154/07/COL of the Authority of 3 May 2007. Hereinafter referred to as the ‘State Aid Guidelines’.
Italian: Norme procedurali e sostanziali in materia di aiuti di Stato (Guida all’applicazione e all’interpretazione degli articoli 61 e 62 dell’accordo SEE e dell’articolo 1 della parte I del protocollo 3 all’accordo che istituisce un’Autorità di vigilanza e una Corte di giustizia) adottate ed emanate dall’Autorità il 19 gennaio 1994, pubblicate nella GU L 231 del 3.9.1994, pag. 1, e nel supplemento SEE n. 32, pag. 1, recante la medesima data, da ultimo modificate dalla decisione n. 154/07/COL dell’Autorità del 3 maggio 2007 di seguito denominata «guida sugli aiuti di Stato»).
English: In this regard the Authority recalls that in Case C-310/99, the European Court of Justice stated that: ‘There was no need for the contested decision to include an analysis of the aid granted in individual cases on the basis of the scheme. It is only at the stage of recovery of the aid that it is necessary to look at the individual situation of each undertaking concerned.’ [48]. In line with that case law, the Authority has assessed the Wood Scheme on the basis of the characteristics of the scheme (as opposed to the specifics of the individual awards under the scheme).
Swedish: I detta avseende erinrar övervakningsmyndigheten att EG-domstolen i mål C-310/99 konstaterat följande: ”Det fanns ingen anledning till varför det omtvistade beslutet skulle innehålla en analys av det stöd av det stöd som beviljats i enskilda fall på grundval av stödordningen. Det är endast vid återkrav av stöd som det är nödvändigt att bedöma situationen för varje enskilt företag.” [48] I enlighet med denna rättspraxis har övervakningsmyndigheten bedömt stödordningen för träsektorn på grundval av stödordningens art (till skillnad från särdragen i de enskilda stöd som tilldelats inom ramen för stödordningen).
Slovak: Dozorný orgán v súvislosti s tým pripomína, že vo veci C-310/99 Európsky súdny dvor stanovil, že: „Nie je potrebné, aby sporné rozhodnutie obsahovalo analýzu pomoci poskytnutej v jednotlivých prípadoch na základe schémy. Skúmať individuálnu situáciu každého príslušného podniku je potrebné až v etape spätného vymáhania pomoci.“ [48] V súlade s týmto judikátom posúdil Dozorný orgán schému pre drevo na základe charakteristiky schémy (a nie na základe špecifických znakov jednotlivých pomocí poskytnutých v rámci schémy).
Slovenian: V tem smislu Nadzorni organ opozarja, da je v zadevi C-310/99 Evropsko sodišče izjavilo, da: „Ni bilo potrebe, da bi spodbijana odločitev vsebovala analizo pomoči, dane v posameznih primerih na podlagi sheme. Šele v fazi izterjave pomoči je treba pregledati posamezno stanje vsakega zadevnega podjetja.“ [48] V skladu s to sodno prakso je Nadzorni organ ocenil Lesno shemo na podlagi značilnosti sheme (v nasprotju z značilnostmi posameznih dodelitev subvencij v okviru sheme).
Latvian: Šajā saistībā Uzraudzības iestāde atgādina, ka Eiropas Kopienu Tiesa lietā C-310/99 atzina: “Apstrīdētajā lēmumā nebija nepieciešams iekļaut analīzi par atbalstu, kas piešķirts konkrētos gadījumos, pamatojoties uz attiecīgo shēmu. Katra konkrētā uzņēmuma situācija jāvērtē tikai atbalsta atgūšanas posmā.” [48] Saskaņā ar minēto judikatūru Uzraudzības iestāde koksnes shēmu vērtēja, pamatojoties uz shēmas īpašībām (nevis konkrētu informāciju par saskaņā ar shēmu piešķirtā atbalsta atsevišķiem gadījumiem).

Polish: Wytyczne te zostały ostatnio zmienione przez decyzję Urzędu nr 154/07/COL z dnia 3 maja 2007 r. Zwane dalej „wytycznymi w sprawie pomocy państwa”.
English: The previous Chapter 12 of the State Aid Guidelines was deleted by Decision No 198/03/COL of the Authority of 5 November 2003. However, as of 1 February 2003, Chapter 12 was already superseded by Regulation (EC) No 69/2001, hereinafter referred to as the ‘de minimis Regulation’).
Polish: Poprzedni rozdział 12 wytycznych w sprawie pomocy państwa został skreślony na mocy decyzji Urzędu nr 198/03/COL z dnia 5 listopada 2003 r. Jednakże, począwszy od dnia 1 lutego 2003 r., rozdział 12 został już zastąpiony rozporządzeniem (WE) nr 69/2001, zwanym dalej „rozporządzeniem dotyczącym pomocy de minimis”.
English: According to the Working Group Report, on a practical level, the tasks of the Management Group should focus on evaluating and developing the scheme (including ensuring engagement from the value chain and verifying that activities correspond to the aim and strategies of the scheme), whereas Innovasjon Norge should be the body responsible for implementing the scheme [15]. To that end, Innovasjon Norge was authorised to approve and allocate all funding under the scheme.
Portuguese: De acordo com o relatório do grupo de trabalho, a nível prático, as actividades do grupo de gestão deveriam incidir na avaliação e desenvolvimento do regime (incluindo assegurar a participação activa por parte da cadeia de valor e verificar a correspondência das actividades realizadas ao abrigo do regime com os seus objectivos e estratégias), enquanto a Innovasjon Norge deveria ser o organismo responsável pela aplicação do regime [15].
English: The Norwegian authorities stated that the results (of the project) are accessible for its member companies, and that, in any event, much of Norsk Treteknisk Institutt’s information is generally accessible via its library.2.5. De minimis aid
Slovenian: Norveški organi so navedli, da so rezultati (projekta) na voljo podjetjem, ki so njegovi člani, in da je v vsakem primeru mnogo informacij Norsk Treteknisk Institutta na splošno dostopnih prek njegove knjižnice.2.5 Pomoč de minimis
English: However, there is no minimum requirement for co-financing; rather the share of it differs depending on the objectives and character of the project. In this context the Norwegian authorities have stated that aid under the Wood Scheme is granted in accordance with the aid intensities set forth in the Internal EEA Guidelines, such that, de facto, there is always some co-financing.
Swedish: Det finns emellertid inget generellt minimikrav för medfinansieringen, utan finansieringsandelen är snarare beroende av projektets syfte och art. I detta sammanhang har de norska myndigheterna konstaterat att eftersom stöd enligt stödordningen för träsektorn beviljas i enlighet med de stödnivåer som anges i de interna EES-riktlinjerna förekommer i praktiken alltid viss medfinansiering.
English: Nor have the Norwegian authorities disputed that the Wood Scheme includes the possibility to fund entities which qualify as undertakings within the meaning of Article 61(1) of the EEA Agreement. Finally, it is undisputed that the Wood Scheme did not exclusively fund beneficiaries which provided a service in return.
Swedish: De norska myndigheterna har inte heller ifrågasatt att stödordningen omfattar en möjlighet att ge stöd till enheter som klassificeras som företag enligt artikel 61.1 i EES-avtalet Slutligen är det obestritt att stödordningen inte uteslutande finansierade stödmottagare som i sin tur tillhandahöll en tjänst.
