Title of aid scheme: Orden por la que se establecen las bases reguladoras y se aprueba la convocatoria de ayudas para reparar los daños causados en uva de mesa por las lluvias generalizadas durante el otoño de 2006 en la Comunidad Autónoma de la Región de Murcia

Legal basis: ‘Orden APA/.../2007, de ... de abril, por la que se establecen las bases reguladoras y se aprueba la convocatoria de ayudas para reparar los daños causados en uva de mesa por las lluvias generalizadas durante el otoño de 2006 en la Comunidad Autónoma de la Región de Murcia’

Annual expenditure planned under the scheme: EUR 1 500 000 (in 2007)

Maximum aid intensity: the maximum aid intensity will not exceed 80 % of the recorded losses resulting from the adverse climatic event. The aid will be calculated by holding.

The following will be taken into consideration for the aid calculation:

aid = average production × average price × ( % damage – 20 %)

To calculate the damage, the harvested production in the year when the adverse climatic event took place is used, relative to the average for the last three years. Thus:

A non-reducible excess of 20 % is applied in order to guarantee that the maximum aid limit does not exceed 80 % of the losses.

The expenditure guaranteed by the insurance companies in relation to other risks covered by the insurance will be deducted from the amount of aid calculated

Date of implementation: the aid may be granted within a six-month period from the into force of the Order

Objective of aid: the objective of the aid is to compensate table grape producers from the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia who suffered major losses in production as a result of heavy rainfall in November 2006.

The ripening of table grapes in 2006 was delayed by the climatic conditions which occurred in the area. As a result, harvesting took place later than in normal marketing years.

Agricultural insurance provides guarantees against the risk of rain up to 31 October, the normal date for harvesting. The delayed ripening, however, meant that the grapes had still not been harvested by the time the rainfall occurred (first days in November), since they had not yet reached optimal physiological maturity.

Consequently, the heavy rainfall which took place caused major damage to production (widespread occurrence of split grapes and proliferation of acid rot and other forms of secondary rot, with botrytis present), which was not covered by the agricultural insurance because it occurred after the guarantee period had expired. Consequently, these losses could not be covered by the insurance policies taken out by the producers.

It is therefore necessary to introduce an aid scheme to compensate for the damage which the rainfall caused to production since, in spite of being insured, no guarantees, etc. have been available in respect of the latter.

The aid is to be granted pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 and corresponds to ‘Aid for losses due to adverse climatic events’ in accordance with Article 11(2) to (6), (9) and (10)

Sector(s) concerned: the aid is intended for the table grape sector in the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia
