3. The political goal and/or the aim of the subsidies
The aim of the scheme is to make the forestry and wood-processing industries more
competitive and less sensitive to market fluctuations with a view to obtaining satisfactory utilizationof natural resource wood, which is an environmentally friendly raw material.
Wood, which is a reproducible, recyclable and biologically degradable, CO2 neutral material,
is a unique resource with an unutilized potential. Apart from the production of furniture, the wood-
processing industry in Denmark is characterized by small make-to-order firms that lack both atradition of undertaking development tasks and the capital to do so. (It should be noted that furniture
production is not comprized by the product development scheme). More specifically, the wood-
processing sector is dominated by firms, whic h in relation to the EU Community's framework
provisions for small and medium-sized firms are small. They are generally characterized by having
relatively low levels of technology and product improvement.
4. Validity period for subsidy scheme
The scheme was established late in 1994 and has no fixed validity period.

CO2-tax and the tax on electricity.  The purpose of the scheme is to reduce the CO 2-emission by
increasing the share of co-generation, reduce the power production based on coal and promote the
production of electricity based on renewable sources.
4. Duration
The subsidy can only be given to industrial combined heat and power plants for the first
6 years of operation. For industrial combined heat and power plants with a power capacity of 4 MW
or less the subsidy can only be given for the first 7 years of operation.  The subsidy scheme has been
changed in 1999 in connection with the reform of the power sector. The subsidy of DKK 0.17/kWh
for the amount of electricity produced on renewable sources will be dropped.  The subsidy will
instead be paid via the electricity prices.

Act on maritime education and training (amendment number 388, 10 June 1997).
1. The form of the subsidy
Grant to education of supernumerary officer trainees and to training of supernumerary
ordinary ship’s assistants. Grant to repatriation to prescribed ordinary ship’s assistants.
2. Subsidy per unit or total
The total duration of education and training leading to qualifications as junior officer is
4 years of which two and a half years are spent at college and one an a half year at sea.  It is acondition, that the shipowners enter into a written agreement or contract with each officer trainee
according to which the shipowner is obliged to provide one and half year sea service as an integral
part of the Maritime Education and Training system.  During the sea service periods the shipowners
pay salary to the trainees, who are supernumerary crewmembers on board.  The State supports the
shipowners by a grant, which as a maximum can  be DKK 40,000 pr. trainee for a six months period
for not more than three such periods.  The grant partially covers salary, travel expenses, board and
lodging.
A similar arrangement is introduced to training of supernumerary ship’s assistant trainees
during one and half year sea service on board.
Finally the State can reimburse the shipowners’ travel expenses in connection with
repatriation of prescribed ordinary ship’s assistants, who are domiciled in Denmark, provided they
have served on board the same ship for a continuous period of three months.
The EU-Commission has not raised any objections after Article 92, paragraph 3, number c, in
the Treaty (now Article 87, paragraph 3, number c).
3. The political aim of the effort
The purpose with the grant is to promote the use of Danish crew in the Danish merchant fleet.
4. Period of validity
The possibility to obtain grants to officer trainees is not limited in time.
The possibility to obtain grants to supernumerary ship’s assistants was introduced in 1998 as
a trial for a period of two years.  As this period has expired it is not possible to day for shipowners to
obtain any grant for supernumerary ship’s assistants. It has been decided, however, to prolong these
states aid and make it permanent.  Furthermore, the support should be extended to include periods of
practice for ship’s mechanics ashore.
The possibility to obtain grants to prescribed ship’s assistants is not limited in time.
5. Subsidy effect from a business point of view
Grant is given to compensate the shipowners cost to education/training and to support the use
of ordinary ship’s assistants in the small Danish merchant fleet.G/SCM/N/60/EEC/Add.3

(1) A clear distinction between ‘Initiatives for SME’s and Entrepreneurs’ and ‘Development of
Competence and Technology’ is not possible, because the last mentioned also in some cases
give subsidies to SME’s
(2) Include only programmes financed partly by the EU.
On the area of export promotion the average grant per company was approximately
DKK 400,000 per company/institution.
On the area of initiatives for SME’s and entrepreneurs the average grant per company was
approximately DKK 350,000.
On the area of development of Competence and Technology the average grant per
company/institution was approximately DKK 200,000.
On the area of Regional Industrial Development it is not possible to state the average subsidy
since the regional funds are also administered regionally, and therefore the Agency for Development
and Trade and industry does not directly monitor all the payments to companies.
On a number of closed programmes  - where no promises are now given  - are not included in
table 1. Limited payments will continue over the next years as projects are terminated.
The general conditions for obtaining subsidy under the Trade and Industrial Development Act
is:
- That the company itself finance more than 2/3 of the project.
- That the results of the project are accessible for other companies
- That the company at least once a year files a report on the development of the project.
The Specific conditions vary from initiative to initiative.It is not possible to state the maximum limit for subsidies for each project because it depends
on the amount the companies are willing to contribute and the character of the initiative.G/SCM/N/60/EEC/Add.3
Page 24
4. The Political Aim of the Effort
The general aim of the Trade and Industrial Development Act is to strengthen the trade and
industrial development in Denmark.  This is primarily carried out by developing the general
framework conditions for the companies.
5. Period of Validity
The period of validity for the individual initiatives differs. Every year it is considered
whether funding should be provided for individual initiatives and schemes.
6. Subsidy Effects from a Business Point of View
It is not possible immediately to estimate the business effects of the subsidies, because it is a
question of horizontal initiatives, which are not restricted to specific industries.
V. MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT:
1. Environmental grants to freight transport by rail.
2. Grants.
3. During 1999 the grants have been distributed thus:
Danish State Railways freight division: DKK  20,292,331
Private Railways in Southern Jutland: DKK      363,071Private railways:                                        DKK         62,691
Total:                                                            DKK   20,718,318

issued by the Minister of Labour.
1. Form of the subsidy.
Subsidy.G/SCM/N/60/EEC/Add.3
Page 25
2. Subsidy per unit or total
A total amount of DKK 104 million has been earmarked for this scheme for the period 1994-
1997, to both private and public enterprises, and to training and research institutions.  With the
exception of enterprises in the steel industry, th e ship-building industry, transport, and the coal
mining industry where prior approval from the Eu ropean Commission is required, subsidies may be
granted to all sectors where such work is found.  As the main rule, subsidies may not be granted to
big enterprises in excess of the de minimis amounts permitted by the European Commission.  In 1999
total subsidies amounted to DKK 18,048,547.
Subsidies may be granted for activities which ai m at doing away with or reducing strains
from repetitive work, including projects concerning job development, work organizationdevelopments, technological developments, development of human resources, research and
documentation.
It is a condition for payment of subsidies that the enterprises send in an evaluation report for
the purpose of collection and dissemination of the results of the individual projects.
3. Purpose of the subsidy
The objective of this subsidy scheme is to reduce by 50 per cent the extent of repetitive work
by year 2000.  In connection with the granting of subsidies to projects, it is taken into accountwhether if is possible to transfer the results to other enterprises and work processes.
4. Duration of the subsidy
The deadline for applications for subsidies was 31 December 1997.
5. Assessment of the trade effects
No data are available.
2. Job training and individual job training under the Act on an active labour market
policy
1. Form of the subsidy.
It is a condition for receiving the wage subsidy concerned that there is a net increase in the
number of employees.  The payment of the subsidy may not lead to distortion of competition.  It is ageneral subsidy scheme related to the hiring of certain categories of unemployed insured persons.
The scheme is not limited to specific enterprises.
2. Subsidy per unit or total
The total amount of wage subsidy paid out in 1999 was DKK 282.5 million.
3. Purpose of the subsidy
To give unemployed persons who are either long term unemployed or belong to groups at
special risk of becoming long-term unemployed a chance to maintain or re-acquire vocational skills
and/or practical job experience which will enable  them to obtain ordinary (i.e. non-subsidized)
employment.G/SCM/N/60/EEC/Add.3
Page 26
4. Duration of the subsidy
For persons insured against unemployment and belonging to the risk groups the subsidy may
be paid out in the first year of unemployment.  In this case the maximum subsidy period is 12 months.If the subsidy period exceeds 6 months, the employer shall offer training or shall employ the
unemployed person concerned for a period corresponding to the subsidy period.  The employment
period must in any case be at least 6 months.
For persons insured against unemployment and being in the activation period (i.e. their
second to fourth year of unemployment), the subs idy period may as a maximum be 6 months with the
same employer.
As concerns individual job training, the subsidy period may extend to the whole activation
period.  The above mentioned conditions on training or subsequent employment also apply in this
case.
The scheme has been approved by the European Commission for an unlimited period.
5. Assessment of the trade effects
No data available.  Trade effects may, however, be judged modest because the scheme is
intended to compensate employers for taking on unemployed persons with an expected productivity
below average and the prevailing wage level.
3. Measures for the benefit of companies who employ senior workers
1. Form of the subsidy
Eligible costs include costs related to the reorganization of production methods in ways
favourable to older workers, planning of training for older workers, improvement of working
conditions for older workers, e.g., through the advice of external consultants.
2. Subsidy per unit or total
A total amount of DKK 30,000,000 has been earmarked for this scheme. An estimated 50 to

were paid out in 1999. Funds have been exhausted and no new subsidies were granted in 1999.
3. Purpose of the subsidy
The political aim of the subsidy is to support projects aimed at maintaining workers above
age 50 on the labour market.
4. Duration of the subsidy.
The scheme is wound up.
5. Assessment of trade effects.
No data available. Trade effects are, however, bound to be extremely modest, as in most
cases a maximum of DKK 750,000 will be paid out to each enterprise.G/SCM/N/60/EEC/Add.3

VII. MINISTRY OF TAXATION
1. The Arrangement of Industrial Zones (Especially favourable fiscal conditions for
industrial zones)
1. Form
Until the end of the income year 1999, enterprises established in an industrial zone are
allowed to depreciations for fiscal purposes by double the rate on business property situated in an
industrial zone, on condition that the enterprise was established in the industrial zone before the end
of 1994.  Until the end of 1999, the same enterprises are exempt from stamp duty on documentswhich concerns the enterprise’s purchases of immovable property situated in industrial zones.  The
same enterprises are exempt from municipal land taxes and service charges on the same immovable
property.
2. Scope
Industrial zones are established in 10 municipalities.  According to information available only
a few enterprises were established in an industrial zone before the end of 1994.
3. Political aim
The arrangement results from a political agreement of May 1992 on intensified efforts to
active unemployed persons, and aims at a strengthening of industrial development and employment in
economical exposed areas.  The arrangement is a pilot scheme subject to a limited period of time and
geographical restrictions, see also 3. and 4.
4. Period
See 3.
5. Statistics
The Ministry of Taxation does not posses any information whether the arrangement of
industrial zones has been used in 1999.
2. The Energy Package (CO2- and SO 2-taxes)
1. The relevant EU-legislation is the EU-Treaty, Article 87(3c).
The relevant national legislation is:
• Law no. 417 of June 14th, 1995 (CO 2-tax)
• Law no. 421 of June 14th, 1995 (SO2-tax)
The CO 2-tax
The rate of the CO 2-tax is DKK 100 per tonne CO 2 discharged when the energy products are
combusted.  On January 1, 1996, the CO2-tax on energy consumption in trade and industry inG/SCM/N/60/EEC/Add.3
Page 28
Denmark was increased and the scope of the tax was enlarged. The tax rate is gradually increasing
until year 2000 as the reimbursement to industry is reduced annually.
The CO2-tax is reimbursement differently to businesses registered for VAT depending on the
energy intensity of the different processes.  When the CO2-tax is fully implemented in year 2000,
75 per cent. of the CO2-tax will be reimbursed for energy intensive processes.  For processes which
are not energy intensive 10 per cent. of the CO2-tax will be reimbursed in year 2000.  For energy
products used for heating purposes no reimbursement are made. Companies entering into agreements
with the Ministry of Energy can get further reductions in the CO 2-tax when undertaking an energy
saving action plan.
The SO 2-tax
The SO 2-tax on all energy products was introduced on 1 January 1996.  The rate is DKK 10
per kg SO 2 discharged into the air or DKK 20 per kg S(ulphur) in the energy product.
A reduction in the SO 2-tax for coal is given to energy intensive businesses, which have
undertaken an energy saving action plan.
The revenue from the CO2- and SO2-taxes
The revenue from the CO2- and SO 2-taxes is lead back to trade and industry as investment
grants and as subsidies to the payment of the CO 2-tax if the company has undertaken the above
mentioned action plan and made an agreement with the Ministry of Energy.  Furthermore the revenue
is spent on a general reduction in the taxes on labour (social contributions of the employers).
The Energy Package has been notified to the EU-Commission and the State Aid aspects has
been examined.  There are no net gains intended in the scheme. Since the reimbursements are
available on the basis of the energy intensity to all companies, regardless of sector or region
concerned and since the authorities do not have any discretionary power in the granting of
reimbursements, the EU-Commission has accepted the scheme.
2. Recycled revenue to trade and industry was in 1999 app. DKK 2.2 billion.  When the Energy
Package is fully introduced in year 2000 the recycled revenue will be app. DKK 2.8 billion.
3. The environmental aim of the Danish energy tax policy is to support international endeavours
to reduce emissions of carbon and sulphur and to conform nationally and internationally to agreed
environmental targets.
4. In 1998 there was a general review of the Energy Package. The main conclusions are
summarized below.
1. The Energy Package contributes substantially to the reduction in Danish CO2-
emissions.
2. Companies with reductions in net CO2-tax rates are net losers.
3. In total business and industry has had an increased tax burden corresponding to
0,01 per cent. of the value added in 1996 and 0.00 per cent. in 1998.  In 2000G/SCM/N/60/EEC/Add.3
Page 29
business and industry will have an estimated gain corresponding to 0.03 per cent. of
the value added.
As a consequence the evaluation has led to minor changes in the scheme, which do not change the
level of aid granted.
5. There is no overall impact on competitiveness. The fiscal burden minus investment grants is
in most sectors less than 1 per cent of the value added. The arrangement is a partial compensation for
the increased fiscal burden, which the national CO 2- and SO 2-taxes place on trade and industry in
3. Expatriate scheme according to Article 48 E of the Tax at Source Act.
1. Form of subsidy
The possibility of a 25 per cent flat rate tax on the gross salary of scientists and key personnel
becoming residents of Denmark for a limited period of time.  The scheme is open to employees in all
sectors.
2. Subsidy amount
The most recent estimates indicate a total su bsidy amount of DKK 620 million (1999).  The
loss of revenue may be estimated to app. DKK 55 million.  Through out 1999 1,800 employees weretaxed under the expatriate scheme.
3. Political aim
To improve Denmark´s international competitiveness by promoting research and product
development.
4. Time periods
An employee may be taxed under the expatriate scheme for a period up to 3 years and may
subsequently remain a resident of Denmark for a period of up to 4 years.  If the employee remains a
resident of Denmark after the expiry of the 4 year period the tax benefits for the 3 year period will belost.

3. Flex-jobs and sheltered jobs
1. Form of subsidy
Flex-jobs and sheltered jobs are offered to people who, because of a permanent partial
impairment, are not able to maintain or obtain work on normal terms of employment.
In connection with flex-jobs the employer receives a wage subsidy which corresponds to the
degree of the persons impairment.

The total amount paid in wage subsidies in connection with rehabilitation in 1999 in both the
private sector and the public sector is estimated to DKK 595 million.
3. Purpose of the subsidy
To help partially impaired people to acquire (other) vocational skills and qualifications in
order to enable them to provide for themselves and th eir family in the future, i.e. to work in an open
employment.
4. Duration of the subsidy
There is no set limit to the duration of rehabilitation in an enterprise and the payment of the
subsidy.  However, it is presupposed that the duration of the rehabilitation should be as short as
possible.
5. Assessment of the trade effects
It is not possible to calculate the trade consequences as it is a general support scheme and not
support to specific enterprises.
IX. MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES
Introduction:
This notification covers in principle all national aid to the Danish agricultural and fisheries
sectors in the fiscal years 1998 (1 January–31 December) and 1999 and the budgeted amounts for the
fiscal year 2000.  Consequently, the measures and programmes included are notified irrespective of
whether they themselves warrant a notification under Article 25 of the SCM-Agreement.  The factthat they are notified does not imply that they are “specific” or that they have any effect on trade.
The notification follows the outline suggested by the WTO and uses the following format:
1. Title of programme in English
Title of programme in Danish
2. Article in The Finance Act
3. Form of subsidy
(a) Grants
(b) Tax relief(c) Subsidies financed by recycled revenues from taxes and duties
