Annual expenditure planned under the scheme or overall amount of individual aid granted to the company: EUR 1 150 410 per year (EEK 18 000 005)

Maximum aid intensity: up to 75 % of the cost of destruction,

up to 100 % of the cost of removal.

Date of implementation:

Duration of scheme or individual aid award: Until 31 December 2013

Objective of aid: To partially compensate livestock farmers for the costs incurred in the destruction and removal of fallen stock. This will ensure that fallen stock are disposed of in line with requirements and will minimise illegal destruction.

The service provider will be selected through an international call for tenders; the procurement contract will be concluded for each year separately. State aid for the removal and destruction of fallen stock is targeted at the livestock farming sector (farmers who keep livestock). The aid is not used for the destruction of other animal by-products (e.g. slaughterhouse waste, etc.).

State aid is provided to farmers in accordance with Article 16. Eligible costs are in accordance with Article 16(1)(d) and (f).

We hereby confirm that Estonia has an ongoing programme to ensure the safe disposal of fallen stock in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002.

The aid is granted in the form of subsidised services and does not involve direct payments to producers.

Sector(s) concerned: Agricultural producers (NACE code A1)
