Promotiefonds Visserij en aquacultuur




Legal basis


Besluit van de Vlaamse regering van 4 februari 1997 betreffende de verplichte bijdragen bestemd voor de promotie en afzetbevordering van de Vlaamse producten van de sectoren landbouw, tuinbouw en visserij. (Belgisch Staatsblad 18 maart 1997)




Type of measure


Scheme


—




Objective


Advertising




Form of aid


Other — gesubsidieerde diensten. De sectorgroep ‘vis’ in VLAM heeft de bevoegdheid over alle promotie-aangelegenheden die betrekking hebben op deze sector. Zij kunnen voorstellen een verplichte bijdrage in te voeren per product of per groep van producten en bepalen wat met het promotiebudget gebeurt. Hiertoe wordt een heffingsregeling ontworpen die toegesneden is op de specifieke kenmerken van de betrokken (deel)sector. De vuistregel is dat de bijdrage van een onderneming aan het promotiefonds evenredig moet zijn aan de economische positie van het bedrijf in die (deel)sector. De Raad van Bestuur van VLAM waakt over de uniformiteit en solidariteit tussen de sectoren, en beslist of deze bijdragen al dan niet worden ingesteld. In de Raad van Bestuur zetelen, naast de afgevaardigden van de sectorgroepen, de vertegenwoordigers van de representatieve beroepsorganisaties uit de sector zelf, de handel en distributie. Deze beslissing wordt door de Vlaamse Regering algemeen bindend verklaard voor iedereen die in de betrokken sector actief is. Dit gebeurd door aanpassing van het Besluit van de Vlaamse regering van 4 februari 1997 betreffende de verplichte bijdragen bestemd voor de promotie en afzetbevordering van de Vlaamse producten van de sectoren landbouw, tuinbouw en visserij.
