Date of adoption of the decision 5.12.2007 Reference number of the aid N 396/07 Member State Netherlands Region — Title (and/or name of the beneficiary) Groene energiebelasting, verlaging voor de glastuinbouwsector Legal basis Artikel 36i van de Wet belasting op Milieu grondslag, Besluit Glastuinbouw Type of measure Tax reduction with countermeasure, environmental protection Objective The objective of the green tax on energy has been the reduction of the use of energy and the promotion of energy efficiency (including the reduction of CO2 emissions). The reduction of this tax for the glasshouse horticulture sector is linked to a countermeasure which obliges this sector to reduce the use of energy (through investments and research). This countermeasure has proven to be effective to realize a reduction of the energy use by horticulturists. The measure therefore does not interfere with the goal of the tax measure and does not go beneath the level set in the Energy Taxation Directive (2003/96/EC) Form of aid Tax reduction Budget Estimated maximum revenue losses due to the tax the exemption: 2008: EUR 161 million 2009: EUR 164 million 2010: EUR 166 million Intensity Sliding scale dependent on energy use, trenches: 91 %, 84 %, 50 % and 0 % Duration 2008-2010 Economic sectors Glasshouse horticulture Name and address of the granting authority Ministerie van LNV Postbus 20401 2500 EK Den Haag Nederland Other information —
