Annual expenditure planned under the scheme or overall amount of individual aid granted to the company: EUR 10 million

Maximum aid intensity: Up to 100 %

Date of implementation: From the date of publication of the registration number for the request for exemption on the website of the Commission's Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development

Duration of scheme or individual aid award: Until 31.12.2008

Objective of aid: Compensation for damage caused by epizootic disease.

The legal basis is Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006.

The aid is planned to cover eligible damage resulting from the depopulation period or the slaughter of animals due to overcrowding for animal welfare or to prevent the spread of the disease.

The periods when farming is suspended for health reasons and the number of animals present and slaughtered will be certified by way of declarations of the competent regional health authorities.

The loss of income will be dealt with in various ways for the farms using stamping out measures (2 km from the outbreaks) where the slaughter of animals and the suspension of farm activities have taken place, and the farms in the buffer zone (2 to 3 km from the outbreaks) where all animal movement will be stopped, which entails higher maintenance costs and a depreciation of the commercial value of animals.

Therefore:

For the farms affected or which are suspected of being contaminated located in the inner part (2 km) of the protection zone (stamping out), compensation shall be granted for the waiting period ordered by the competent health authorities, for up to a maximum of six months. For breeding farms compensation shall be granted for the entire period of suspension of farm activities ordered by the health authorities. For fattening farms compensation shall be granted on the basis of the number of days of closure (from the 30th day of being placed in the waiting period) using the FADN gross margin.

For farms in the outer part (2 to 3 km) of the protection zone, breeding animals will not be taken into account, and the period of mandatory inactivity of farms will be considered only in respect of potentially unsold animals. For closed-cycle and fattening farms the aid which may be granted is determined by the actual depreciation of the commercial value. The same method will be used for open cycle farms, but the number of days of the mandatory movement ban will run from the 30th day of being placed in the protection zone. If the farm must carry out the slaughter and destruction of the animals due to overcrowding, for animal welfare or to prevent the spread of the disease (determined by the competent health authorities), a contribution based on the market value (according to ISMEA tables) and a reimbursement of the costs of slaughtering and destroying the animals shall be made.

The contribution due will be calculated on the basis of structural data and economic indicators from the FADN network as published by INEA (National Agricultural Economic Institute), and on the basis of average national prices for the purposes of reimbursement for the animals slaughtered under Law No 218 of 2 June 1988, for the week referred to by order of the relevant Health Authority

Title of aid scheme/name of company receiving an individual aid: Steun aan de controleorganisaties in de biologische productiemethode (productie)

Legal basis: Koninklijk Besluit van 17 april 1992 inzake de biologische productiemethode en aanduidingen dienaangaande op landbouwproducten en levensmiddelen, artikel 8bis; gewijzigd bij het KB van 10 juli 1998 en 3 september 2000. (B.s. 20.5.2000).

Referentie: Belgisch staatsblad 20.5.2000, dossier nr. 1992-04-17/32

Annual expenditure planned under the scheme or overall amount of individual aid granted to the company: Subsidy of EUR 58 000. The aid is granted for two purposes:

Maximum aid intensity: The aid intensity is 100 %

Date of implementation: The aid will start as from 1.3.2008

Aid can be granted by means of an implementing decree. These decrees are drawn up annually. A draft implementing decree has yet to be drawn up, and will include a ‘standstill’ clause

Duration of scheme or individual aid award: The aid, totalling EUR 58 000, will be granted for activities between 1.3.2008 and 31.12.2008

Objective of the aid: ‘Aid to encourage the production of quality agricultural products’ on the basis of Article 14(2)(e) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 of 15 December 2006 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty to State aid to small and medium-sized enterprises active in the production of agricultural products and amending Regulation (EC) No 70/2001.

All costs concern compulsory controls on organic production that are undertaken by recognised inspection bodies on behalf of the competent authorities.

Eligible costs are as follows:

The objective of the aid is to support organic farming by paying for the costs of controls.

Regarding the costs in point 1 above, further clarifications are given below in response to the question posed by the Commission.

Under Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91, the Commission asks each year for a report on the supervision of organic production, containing the relevant data (cultivated area, number of animals, number of inspections and analyses carried out, number of undertakings by NACE code, etc.).

In order to produce a thorough report, the Flemish authorities have since 2005 set additional requirements for the inspection bodies.

Because the recognised inspection bodies are expected to supply at least the data required under Article 15, in the form stipulated by the national authorities, the amount of EUR 18 000 is to be divided between them. This amount covers the costs arising from the changes they have to make to their IT systems and the additional administrative burden of collecting the required data.

This amount is to be paid to the inspection bodies in order to avoid the additional burden and costs being passed on to the producers

Annual expenditure planned under the scheme: Overall budget of EUR 500 000 maximum with a payment in two instalments to the group of employers: 50 % on the signature of the agreement, with the remainder being paid on production of the balance sheet of the operation

Maximum aid intensity: The General Council's aid will take the form of partially defraying the costs for the provision of labour to clean up the infected orchards.

The provision of labour will be calculated in relation the surface area to be treated, on the basis of at most two rounds of cutting the infected branches and, depending on the season, burning them.

A limit of 3 000 hours, corresponding to a maximum aid amount of EUR 44 700 per agricultural holding, will be imposed.

The Department will pay a maximum of 65 % of the financing needed to cover the costs of labour, i.e. a maximum of EUR 29 055 per agricultural holding, with the remaining 35 %, i.e. EUR 15 645 to be paid by the owners of the holding

Date of implementation: On receipt of an acknowledgement of receipt from the Commission

Duration of the aid scheme: Autumn-winter 2007-2008

Objective and type of aid: To enable the small and medium-sized agricultural enterprises of the Bouches-du-Rhône which reported fire blight to the State, to clean up their pome fruit orchards.

Particularly favourable climate conditions have meant that since spring 2007 there has been an exceptional spread of fire blight, which is an incurable disease that causes the brutal withering of all or part of the vegetation affected. Depending on the intensity of the outbreak, from 1 to 10 rounds of cutting and waste-elimination a year may be needed during the period for combating the disease.

Of the 120 farmers who reported the disease to the State, via the Regional Plant Protection Service (Service Régional de Protection des Végétaux), 25 have requested aid for cleaning up their orchards, representing a total surface area of 418 ha to be cleaned up. The clean up should be done before the trees shed their leaves. This ad hoc aid will be provided as soon as the clean-up operations have been carried out.

As the capped aid is awarded in the form of subsidised services, not paid directly to the producers, the application of the measure is based on Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 concerning ‘aid in respect of animal and plant diseases and pest infestations’

Sectors concerned: The agricultural holdings of the Bouches-du-Rhône department with pome fruit orchards (pear trees and apple trees)

(1)  Directive 98/34/EC (OJ L 204, 21.7.1998, p. 37) consolidates Council Directive 83/189/EEC, as amended principally by Directives 88/182/EEC and 94/10/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council. Directive 98/34/EC was amended by Directive 98/48/EC (OJ L 217, 5.8.1998, p. 18) which broadened its scope to include information society services. This came into effect on 5 August 1999.

(2)  Article 8(2) of the Directive.

(3)  Article 9(2) of the Directive (‘detailed opinion ... to the effect that the envisaged measure may create obstacles to the free movement of goods or services or to freedom of establishment of service operators within the internal market’).

(4)  On the basis of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, the EFTA countries contracting parties to this Agreement apply Directive 98/34/EC adapted as necessary in accordance with Annex II, Chapter XIX, point 1, and may thus issue observations relating to drafts notified by Member States of the Community. Switzerland may also issue such observations on the basis of an informal agreement for the exchange of information in the field of technical regulations.

(5)  The 98/34 procedure was extended to Turkey in the context of the Association Agreement concluded with that country (Association Agreement between the European Economic Community and Turkey (OJ 217, 29.12.1964, p. 3687)) and Decisions No 1/95 and No 2/97 of the EC-Turkey Association Council.

(6)  Article 9(3) of the Directive requiring Member States to postpone the adoption of a notified draft (except for draft regulations concerning services) for twelve months from receipt by the Commission if the latter announces its intention to propose or adopt a Directive, Regulation, or Decision on the matter.

(7)  Article 9(4)of the Directive requiring Member States to postpone the adoption of a notified draft for twelve months from the receipt by the Commission if the latter announces its finding that the draft concerns a matter which is covered by a proposal for a Directive, Regulation or Decision presented to the Council.

(8)  The Agreement on the European Economic Area (see note 4) requires EFTA countries which are contracting parties to this Agreement to notify draft technical regulations to the Commission.

(9)  On the basis of the informal agreement for the exchange of information in the field of technical regulations (see note 4), Switzerland forwards its draft technical regulations to the Commission.

(10)  The only type of Community reaction provided for by the Agreement on the European Economic Area (see notes 4 and 7) is the facility to issue observations (Article 8(2) of Directive 98/34/EC as in Annex II, Chapter XIX, point 1 of this Agreement). The same type of reaction may be issued in respect of Swiss notifications on the basis of the informal agreement between the Community and Switzerland (see notes 4 and 8).
