Other information: This scheme provides for compensation for damage caused by adverse weather conditions (heavy snowfall) in the tree nursery sector on 25 November 2005. It is based on Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 on State aid to small and medium-sized enterprises active in the production of agricultural products.

The requirements laid down in Article 11 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 are met. The maximum aid intensity is 70 % and the damage is calculated according to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006. In addition, any costs resulting from factors other than the adverse weather conditions are deducted from the maximum amount of the losses to be taken into consideration. At the time when the damage occurred, there was no insurance scheme for such damage. The damage is calculated at holding level and the aid is paid direct to the farmer. The aid scheme comes into effect on 25 November 2008. It will be open from 1 to 31 July 2009. It will therefore be introduced no later than three years after the occurrence of the damage. The aid will be paid within four years of the occurrence of the damage.

In view of the foregoing, the requirements laid down in Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 are met. In accordance with Article 20(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006, the scheme enters into force no earlier than 10 working days after the summary notification
