This aid scheme falls within the scope of the exemption provided for in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 of 15 December 2006 and complies with the provisions of Article 10(2) of that Regulation.

Annual expenditure planned under the scheme or overall amount of individual aid granted to the company: EUR 115 000

Maximum aid intensity: The maximum aid intensity per farmer will be calculated on the basis of the actual losses sustained on each plot of land belonging to the farm, where the pest infestation is confirmed as having affected more than 15 % of normal production on irrigated land and 30 % of normal production on non-irrigated land.

Once the affected plots have been determined, the market value of the losses will be determined by multiplying the difference between expected production and actual final production by the average market price for the product concerned, the latter being calculated as the average of the prices for 2005, 2006 and 2007 (up to and including September), and applying in each case a threshold of 15 % on irrigated land and 30 % on non-irrigated land.

In any event the aid intensity may not exceed 100 % of the losses.

Date of implementation: From the date on which the identification number of the exemption request is published on the website of the Commission’s Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development.

Title of aid scheme or name of company receiving an individual aid: Subvenciones para la repoblación de la explotación en caso de vaciado sanitario en el marco de los programas nacionales de lucha, control o erradicación de la tuberculosis bovina, brucelosis bovina, brucelosis ovina y caprina, lengua azul y encefalopatías espongiformes transmisibles

Conditions for receiving the aid have been clarified and, in order to calculate the aid, the various forms of compensation that farmers can receive for the slaughter of their animals have been taken into account so as to avoid overpaying compensation.

Annual expenditure planned under the scheme or overall amount of individual aid granted to the company: State budgetary expenditure to be granted overall to beneficiaries will total a maximum of EUR 2 million annually from 2011 until 2013 (inclusive), with an estimated total of EUR 6 million.

The maximum amount of aid will be the remainder of the overall cost of purchasing or leasing the livestock after deducting the amounts received as compensation for the compulsory slaughter of the livestock, the amount received from the slaughter house or meat industry for that livestock, and the corresponding insurance payment should the policy cover the risk of livestock health improvement measures. Aid will thus be limited to 75 % of the value of the animals slaughtered, and the maximum amount per holding will be EUR 60 000.

Date of implementation: From the date of publication of the identification number of the request for exemption on the website of the Commission's Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development. The aid may not be applied for before that date.

Duration of scheme or individual aid award: Until 31 December 2013. A call for proposals will be published annually.

Aid will be granted for purchases or lease-purchases made before or after the submission of the application, and may be granted for purchases or lease-purchases with a multi-annual implementation date, providing the provisions of Article 57 of Royal Decree No 887/2006 of 21 July 2006 approving the implementing regulations of the General Law on Aid No 38/2003 of 17 November 2003 are respected.

This aid is provided under Article 10(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006.

Sector(s) concerned: Small or medium-sized livestock businesses operating in the primary production sector, in the event of preventive depopulation in the context of national programmes to combat, control or eradicate bovine TB and brucellosis, ovine and caprine brucellosis, bluetongue and transmissible spongiform encephalopathies.
