Decision:

SAM 070.019

To propose appropriate measures to Norway with regard to State aid in the
form of guarantees under the Act on State Enterprises (‘Lov om statsforetak’)

Act on State Enterprises (Norwegian Act No 71 of 30 August 1991 on State
Enterprises; ‘Lov om statsforetak’)

State guarantee

The appropriate measures, proposed by the Authority and accepted by the
Norwegian authorities are as follows:

(a) The Norwegian authorities shall take any legislative, administrative and
other measures necessary to eliminate any incompatible aid resulting from
Sections 4, 51 and 53 of the Act on State Enterprises. The aid should be
abolished with effect from 1 January 2003, unless the Authority agrees to
a later date, should that be considered objectively necessary and justified
by the Authority;

(b) The Norwegian Government shall communicate to the Authority the
relevant measures it will take to discontinue the aid as soon as possible
and in any event not later than six weeks from receipt of this decision.

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2156/2002

of 4 December 2002

fixing the definitive aid on certain grain legumes for the 2002/2003 marketing year

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 of 30
July 1996 introducing a specific measure in respect of certain
grain legumes (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 811/
2000 (2), and in particular Article 6(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1577/96 divides the
maximum guaranteed area between lentils and chickpeas
on the one hand and vetches on the other hand,
allowing the unused balance of one maximum guaran-
teed area to be reallocated to the other maximum guar-
anteed area before an overrun is determined.

The maximum guaranteed area for lentils and chickpeas
referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1577/96
was not exceeded in 2002/2003, whereas the maximum
guaranteed area for vetches,
increased by the unused
balance of the maximum guaranteed area for lentils and
chickpeas, was exceeded by 20,25 % in 2002/2003. The

aid provided for in Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No
1577/96 should therefore be reduced proportionately
for vetches for the marketing year in question.

(3)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Cereals,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The definitive aid for certain grain legumes for the 2002/2003
marketing year shall be EUR 181,00 per hectare for lentils and
chickpeas and EUR 150,52 per hectare for vetches.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter
into force on the third day
following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the
European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

pursuant to Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4064/89 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC)
