Rakousko sdělí Komisi do dvou měsíců od oznámení tohoto rozhodnutí následující informace:
In particular, they were invited to indicate whether § 21c(2) of the AMA Act, according to which goods originating outside Austria are exempted from the levy (see recital 58, was in force already in 1995 or whether it was inserted by a later amendment of the law.

Further, the Member State was invited to explain whether products of Austrian origin marketed outside Austria could benefit from the measure to the same extent as products marketed in Austria.

In recital 237 of the opening decision the Commission underlined that it also had to verify whether charging the levy did not run counter to the objectives of the common market organisation in the agricultural sector.

In this respect it had to be assessed whether the levies did not interfere with the price of the end products and thus whether domestic products were not discriminated against compared to imported products.

In this regard, in the opening decision the Austrian authorities were invited to provide data showing the percentage of the respective sales prices to which the levy amounted and to explain to which extent a possible negative impact caused by the levy was compensated by the positive effects of the measures financed by the same levy.
Rakousko Komisi informuje o průběhu vnitrostátních opatření přijatých k provedení tohoto rozhodnutí až do doby úplného navrácení podpor poskytnutých na základě režimů uvedených v článku 2.
In addition, the Austrian authorities were invited to explain whether the prices of the relevant products are largely market driven.
Na žádost Komise předloží neprodleně informace o již přijatých a plánovaných opatřeních ke splnění tohoto rozhodnutí.
In their submission of 14 September 2012, the Austrian authorities informed the Commission that foreign products were exempted from paying the levy according to Article 2c paragraph 2 of the AMA Act.
Poskytne rovněž podrobné informace o částkách podpory a úrocích z navracené podpory, které již byly od příjemců získány zpět.
This exemption applied since 1 January 1994 and therefore for the entire period of assessment.

As regards the relationship with the objectives of the common market organisation in the agricultural sector, in their submission of 14 September 2012, the Austrian authorities stated that due to the fact that the prices were formed by supply and demand on the relevant markets and that there was no intervention from the side of the authorities, it was not possible to calculate the percentage of sales prices to which the levy amounted.
Toto rozhodnutí je určeno Rakouské republice.
In the same reply the Austrian authorities argued that the amount of the levy did not have a direct impact on the amount of State aid.
V Bruselu dne 7. dubna 2016.
In addition to the revenue from the AMA levy, additional sources of financing existed.
Za Komisi
Namely, aside from the ‘net revenue’ deriving from the levy, and EU funds (for co-financed actions), other revenues were collected from economic operators by way of licence fees and from the proceeds from the royalties paid in the AMA-shop (cookery books, etc.) to finance the measures.
člen Komise
In fact, the Austrian authorities demonstrated that a part of the financing for the AMA measures was not covered by the levy [107] and thus the amount of the aid spent (which in turn influenced the scope of the measures actually carried out) did not exclusively depend on the levy revenue; in addition, the revenue from the levy was not exclusively allocated for the financing of the aid [108].

The Austrian authorities were also invited to provide the necessary information to allow the Commission to assess whether the parafiscal financing of the measure (levy) formed an integral part of the aid measures for the period 2002 to 2008 (recital 238 of the opening decision).
Scheucher-Fleisch GmbH a další, ECLI:EU:C:2011:698.
For the reasons stated above, and given that the sources of funding remained the same, the Commission considers that no hypothecation between the levy and the State aid measures existed also for the period 2002 to 2008.
Komise Evropských společenství, ECLI:EU:T:2009:445.
For the reasons stated above, and notwithstanding recital 378 below, the AMA marketing measures constitute State aid.
Stejná argumentace je použita i v právním stanovisku připojeném k předložení informací ze dne 26. února 2015.
For the reasons stated above, and notwithstanding recital 378 below, the aid measures referred to in recitals 208, 213, 327, third sentence and 355 are incompatible with the internal market.
Opatření AMA týkající se značky jakosti a bioznačky prováděná od 26. září 2002 podle pozměněných interních pravidel byla schválena dne 30. června 2004 rozhodnutím Komise ve věci NN 34 A/2000 (viz 10. až 16. bod odůvodnění).
The other measures assessed above are compatible with the internal market.
Úř. věst.
Any compensation which at the time of the granting fulfilled the conditions stipulated in the de minimis Regulation [109] is deemed not to constitute aid.
C 28, 1.2.2000, s. 2.
Any aid which, at the time of the granting fulfilled the conditions of a block exemption or an approved aid scheme is compatible with the internal market, up to the maximum aid intensities applicable to that type of aid.
C 252, 12.9.2001, s. 5.
In accordance with the Treaty and the Court of Justice's established case-law, the Commission is competent to decide that the Member State concerned must abolish or alter aid [110] when it has found that it is incompatible with the internal market.
Jak je uvedeno v 15. bodě odůvodnění výše, byla reklamní opatření pro bioznačku v rámci režimu podpory NN 34 A/2000 časově omezena do dne 31. března 2006 a opatření na podporu jakosti bioznačky do 31. prosince 2008.
The Court has also consistently held that the obligation on a State to abolish aid regarded by the Commission as being incompatible with the internal market is designed to re-establish the previously existing situation [111].
Viz poznámka pod čarou 1.
In this context, the Court has stated that that objective is attained once the recipient has repaid the amounts granted by way of unlawful aid, thus forfeiting the advantage which it had enjoyed over its competitors on the market, and the situation prior to the payment of the aid is restored [112].

Following that case-law, Article 16 of Council Regulation (EU) 2015/1589 [113] (hereinafter Procedural Regulation) lays down that ‘where negative decisions are taken in respect of unlawful aid, the Commission shall decide that the Member State concerned shall take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary.’
C 241, 29.8.1994, s. 21, ve znění úprav v Úř. věst.
According to Article 17 of the Procedural Regulation, the powers of the Commission to recover incompatible aid are subject to a limitation period of 10 years.
L 1, 1.1.1995, s. 1).
The limitation period begins on the day on which the unlawful aid was awarded to the beneficiary.
Konkrétně se odkazuje na rozhodnutí Komise N88/98.
Any action taken by the Commission with regard to the unlawful aid interrupts the limitation period.
Viz 145. bod odůvodnění a body následující.
The limitation period is suspended for as long as the decision of the Commission is the subject of proceedings before the ECJ.
Tyto zprávy byly připojeny v příloze k dopisu rakouských orgánů ze dne 16. října 2000, v němž byly poskytnuty dodatečné informace vyžádané Komisí dne 19. června 2000.
The complaint which triggered the present procedure was received on 21 September 1999 (see recital 4) and the Commission registered the scheme as a non-notified aid in the year 2000 (see recital 8).
Tyto zprávy byly předloženy společně s dopisem rakouských orgánů ze dne 14. září 2012.
Furthermore, the 2004 decision acknowledges the fact that the Commission has decided, for administrative reasons, to split the procedure (see recital 10) and assess the measures before and after the year 2003 separately.
Směrnice Rady 90/50/EHS ze dne 18. června 1992 o koordinaci postupů při zadávání veřejných zakázek na služby (Úř. věst.
This splitting of the procedure had been a request of the Austrian authorities dated from 8 March 2004.
L 209, 24.7.1992, s. 1.)
The above cited actions (splitting of procedure acknowledged by 2004 decision) and letters (Austrian request of 8 March 2004) are interrupting events in the meaning of Article 17 Council Regulation (EU) 2015/1589.
Směrnice Evropského parlamentu a Rady 2004/18/ES ze dne 31. března 2004 o koordinaci postupů při zadávání veřejných zakázek na stavební práce, dodávky a služby (Úř. věst.
This means that the Commission has the power to order recovery as of 1 January 1995, the date of Austria's accession to the European Union.
L 134, 30.4.2004, s. 114).
The Commission decision NN 34A/2000 was challenged before the General Court on 30 June 2004 and its ruling was appealed before the Court of Justice on 27 January 2010.

According to Article 15 paragraph 2, third sentence of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, the limitation period was therefore suspended between 30 June 2004 and 27 October 2011.
Tyto značky byly znázorněny v 13. bodě odůvodnění rozhodnutí Komise ohledně režimu podpory NN 34 A/2000.
For the reasons stated above the 10 years limitation period for recovery with regard to the measures assessed in this decision has not expired.
Toto logo bylo použito rovněž pro období 1999–2002.
The incompatible State aid specified at recital 374 above must therefore be recovered by the Austrian authorities.
Značka je použita ve směrnicích o výrobcích z roku 2000 (Richtlinien für Frischfleisch, Fleischerbetriebe, Fleischwaren, Frischeier, Putenfleisch, Milch und Milchprodukte, Obst, Gemüse und Speisekartoffeln, Speisefette, Speiseöle, Diverse Lebensmittel).
Article 16(1) of the Procedural Regulation specifies that ‘where negative decisions are taken in cases of unlawful aid, the Commission shall decide that the Member State concerned shall take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary’.
Směrnice Evropského parlamentu a Rady 2000/13/ES ze dne 20. března 2000 o sbližování právních předpisů členských států týkajících se označování potravin, jejich obchodní úpravy a související reklamy (Úř. věst.
Article 16(3) of the Procedural Regulation specifies that ‘recovery shall be effected without delay and in accordance with the procedures under the national law of the Member State concerned, provided that they allow the immediate and effective execution of the Commission's decision.’
L 109, 6.5.2000, s. 29).
The means according to national law established by the Member States, by which they implement recovery decisions, should give full effect to the recovery decision.
Nařízení Rady (EHS) č. 2092/91 ze dne 24. června 1991 o ekologickém zemědělství a k němu se vztahujícím označování zemědělských produktů a potravin (Úř. věst.
It is therefore necessary that the national measures taken by Member States lead to an effective and immediate execution of the Commission decision.
L 198, 22.7.1991, s. 1).
According to a settled jurisprudence, in the case of negative decisions for non-notified aid, particularly where a significant period of time has elapsed, the Commission may resort to approximate evaluations of the sums to be recovered [114].
Nařízení Rady (ES) č. 1257/1999 ze dne 17. května 1999 o podpoře pro rozvoj venkova z Evropského zemědělského orientačního a záručního fondu (EZOZF) a o změně a zrušení některých nařízení (Úř. věst.
The Commission would like to point out that, according to the jurisprudence ‘no provision of Community law requires the Commission, when ordering the recovery of aid declared incompatible with the common market, to fix the exact amount of the aid to be recovered.
L 160, 26.6.1999, s. 80).
It is sufficient for the Commission's decision to include information enabling the recipient to work out himself, without overmuch difficulty, that amount.’ [115]
Tyto normy jsou popsány v 59. bodě odůvodnění rozhodnutí Komise ohledně režimu podpory NN 34 A/2000.
Given the nature of some of the measures concerned (i.e. measures concerning indirect aid to a large number of beneficiaries) the Commission is not in a position to determine in the present decision the exact aid amount per beneficiary for each measure for which recovery has been ordered.
AMA-Gütesiegel Richtlinie Frischfleisch of April 1999, Richtlinien Frischfleisch of April 1997, Richtlinien Frischfleisch of April 1997 (Anpassung entsprechend Beiratsbeschluss vom 22.01.1998), Richtlinien Frischfleisch vom Februar 1996, Richtlinien diverse Lebensmittel.
The Commission would therefore point out that the sums communicated by the Austrian authorities during the investigation period (see recitals 43-45) constitute the starting point for the calculation of the aids to be recovered from the respective beneficiaries.
Z února roku 1997.
The categories of incompatible aid, as well as the relevant periods have been identified in the decision.
Podle rakouských orgánů byl tento formulář používán do 31. prosince 2000.
Therefore, the Commission considers that, in the framework of the recovery procedure, a reasonable method of calculating the aid per beneficiary needs to be provided by the Austrian authorities, and communicated to the Commission, in a spirit of loyal cooperation with the Commission,
