State aid C 65/99 (ex N 20/99) — Temporary compensation for reduction of pig rights

(2002/C 100/03)

By the following letter dated 14 August 2000, the Commission has informed the Netherlands of its
decision to close the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the Treaty.

‘By letter dated 7 January 1999, registered on 13 January 1999, the Netherlands notified the Commission
of the aid for the buying-up of pig rights, granting a temporary compensation for reduction of pig rights
and promoting the shutdown of farms. By letters dated 11 May 1999, registered on 20 May 1999 and
31 May 1999, registered on 3 June 1999, it provided the Commission with further information.

By letter dated 12 August 1999, the Commission informed the Netherlands that it had decided to initiate
the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the granting a temporary
compensation for reduction of pig rights and not to raise objections against the buying-up of pig
rights and the promotion of shut-down of farms.

The Commission decision to initiate the procedure was published in the Official Journal of the European
Communities (1). The Commission invited interested parties to submit their comments on the aid. The
Commission received no comments from interested parties nor from the Government of the Netherlands.

By fax of 4 April 2000, the Dutch authorities indicated that the notification is withdrawn and that the
measure granting a temporary compensation for reduction of pig rights will not be implemented.

In view of the fax from the Dutch authorities announcing the withdrawal of the aid measure, there is no
need for the Commission to further examine the compatibility of the measure with the common market
and to give a decision.’
