STATE AID

(Articles 87 to 89 of the EC Treaty)

Commission notice under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty to other Member States and interested
parties on training aid for farmers in the Allg(cid:228)u

(2001/C 236/03)

By letter of 18 July 2001 reproduced below, the Commission informed Germany of its decision to close the
Article 88(2) procedure.

(cid:145)The Commission has the honour of informing Germany that, after examining your authorities’ withdrawal
of notification of the above measure, it has decided to close the Article 88(2) procedure.

I

The measure was notified in accordance with Article 88(3) of the EC Treaty by letter of 25 September
1998, received on 30 September 1998. Further information was provided by letters of 11 January 1999,
25 June 1999, 22 September 1999 and 22 December 1999, registered as received on 13 January 1999, 29
June 1999, 27 September 1999 and 4 January 2000 respectively.

II

By letter of 6 March 2000 the Commission notified Germany of its decision to initiate the procedure laid
down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty. The Commission doubted whether the monthly fixed amount was
compatible with Article 87(3)(c), since it might overcompensate for the actual costs of the further training
measures.

The Commission’s decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European
Communities (1).

Third parties submitted no comments on that decision.

III

By letter of 15 June 2000 the German authorities gave notice that the notified aid measure was being
withdrawn and would not be implemented.

In view of the German authorities’ letter giving notice of the aid measure’s withdrawal, and in accordance
with Article 8(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 (2), the Commission has decided to close the
procedure.(cid:146)
