Aid No: XA 371/08

Member State: France

Region: Allier

Title of aid scheme or name of company receiving an individual aid: Aides en faveur de la maîtrise de la fièvre catarrhale ovine

Legal basis: Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006

Articles 1511-1 et suivants du code général des collectivités territoriales

Annual expenditure planned under the scheme: EUR 100 000

Maximum aid intensity: 50 % in compliance with the limits set in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006, i.e. 100 % maximum

Date of implementation: From registration of the exemption sheet by the Commission

Duration of scheme or individual aid award: 2008-2009

Objective of aid: The Department of Allier has been affected by bluetongue serotype 8 since 2007. The consequences of this disease are both direct (illness, mortality, abortions, production losses) and indirect (temporary sterility of male animals, irregular return to oestrus). As far as sheep farming is concerned, rams can remain sterile for over three months before there is a complete recovery of genital function. Rams which have shown clinical signs are therefore unfit for the servicing season starting next September.

Several risks are involved:

rams may have shown furtive clinical signs that went unnoticed by farmers. It is highly likely that they are sterile,

the use of rams with damaged genital function can lead to a high rate of non-pregnant ewes. If steps are not taken early in the season, the production of lambs for this season may be completely jeopardised.

In addition to the vaccination campaign (vaccines funded by the European Union), the regional Conseil général would like to implement two measures to control this disease better:

monitoring of ram semen

A microscopic examination can be carried out to produce a rapid diagnosis and thus eliminate any male animals that may have been in contact with bluetongue,

ultrasounds on ewes

Carrying out ultrasounds on ewes 4 to 6 weeks after servicing makes it possible to detect non-pregnant ewes early and thus to repeat the servicing process and eliminate any ewes that may have been in contact with bluetongue.

Aid amounting to up to 50 % of the cost will be in the form of subsidised services, not direct payments to producers

Sector(s) concerned: Sheep and goat sectors

Annual expenditure planned under the scheme or overall amount of individual aid granted to the company: The maximum annual amount for primary agricultural production is EUR 150 000

Maximum aid intensity: 10 % of the eligible costs. The amount of aid, including that for businesses run by women, cannot in any case exceed the limits established by Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006. The average aid payment is 5 % of eligible costs

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

Duration of scheme:

Objective of aid: The Bologna Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Craft Trades and Agriculture, aware of the difficulties faced by local small and medium-sized enterprises in accessing credit, provides outright grants in the form of a single payment calculated as a proportion of the total discounted interest due on medium to long-term bank loans, with the aim of extending the average duration of loans and consolidating the enterprises' finances.

The investment must aim to achieve the following objectives in particular:

The scheme constitutes a form of support for investment in farms under Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006.

For enterprises engaged in primary agricultural production, the following costs are eligible:

Costs relating to leasing contracts other than those listed in (b), such as tax, lessor's margins, interest, refinancing costs, overheads and insurance, are not eligible.

Simple replacement investments are not eligible. Aid may not be granted for the manufacture of products which imitate, or can be substituted for, milk or milk products.

Purchases may not be dated prior to the approval of the aid application by the guarantee institutions, and are to be deducted from the upper limit that the Chamber of Commerce has provisionally assigned to these institutions in view of the resources available in the accruals-based statements. The date of the approval of the aid application is considered to be the date on which the guarantee institution, after examining the aid application and ascertaining that all the requirements laid down in the Chamber of Commerce Regulation are met, calculates the aid payable on the basis of the upper limit set by the Chamber of Commerce for the approval of the aid application

Sector(s) concerned: All sectors involved in primary agricultural production (land cultivation and livestock farming).

The scheme also provides for support to other sectors to which Regulation (EC) No 1998/2006 on de minimis aid applies
