De italienske myndigheder fremhævede desuden, at Kommissionen i brevet om godkendelse af lov nr. 52/94 erklærede, at den pågældende støtte var i overensstemmelse med de gældende kriterier og derfor kunne være omfattet af undtagelsen i EF-traktatens artikel 92 (nu artikel 87), stk. 3, litra c), i sin egenskab af støtte til fremme af udviklingen af visse erhvervsgrene eller økonomiske regioner, som ikke ændrer samhandelsvilkårene på en måde, der strider mod den fælles interesse, uden henvisning til Fællesskabets rammebestemmelser for statsstøtte til redning og omstrukturering af kriseramte virksomheder.
The Italian authorities also stressed that, in the letter approving Law No 52/94, the Commission had stated that the aid in question complied with the criteria applicable thereto and could thus benefit from the exemption under paragraph 3(c) of Article 92 (now Article 87) of the EC Treaty, as they were measures intended to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, without adversely affecting trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest, and had not made reference to the Community guidelines on State aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty.
Som det fremgår af korrespondancen med Kommissionen fra 1994 til 1996, var det indlysende formål med lov nr. 52/94 at undgå, at landbrugsbedrifter i forbindelse med investeringer måtte lide under meget højere rentesatser end markedets på grund af udsving i renteniveauet, hvilket kunne bringe dem i vanskeligheder.
In their opinion, as emerges from the correspondence with the Commission between 1994 and 1996, it was clear that the objective of Law No 52/94 was to avoid situations whereby, when making investments, agricultural holdings were faced with interest rates much higher than market rates as a result of fluctuations in the cost of money, thereby placing them in difficulty.
Regionen Lazio har desuden altid garanteret, at den ville kontrollere de støttemodtagende bedrifters rentabilitet, navnlig på basis af saneringsplaner for disse bedrifter, som de skulle fremlægge i henhold til lov nr. 52/94 med senere ændringer.
Furthermore, Lazio regional authority always guaranteed that the viability of the beneficiary holdings would be checked, with particular reference to the recovery plans that the latter were required to submit pursuant to Law No 52/94 and amendments thereto.
På denne baggrund mente de italienske myndigheder, at støtten i lov nr. 52/94 kunne være omfattet af undtagelsen i EF-traktatens artikel 87, stk. 3, litra c).
In this context, the Italian authorities asserted that the aid under Law No 52/94 could benefit from the exemption under Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty.
I brevet af 2. juli 2004 spurgte de italienske myndigheder desuden om, om det ved vurdering af støtte, som var udbetalt i perioden 1998-2000 [11] til lån, der eksisterede den 5. december 1994, i relation til redning og omstrukturering af kriseramte virksomheder, var muligt at anvende punkt 2.5 i 1997-rammebestemmelserne, der siger, at »Rammebestemmelserne berører endvidere ikke anvendelsen af støtteordninger, der er godkendt til andre formål end redning og omstrukturering, f.eks. regionaludvikling (og) udvikling af SMV …«, i betragtning af at den i lov nr. 52/94 omhandlede støtte var blevet godkendt som foranstaltning til fremme af udviklingen af visse erhvervsgrene eller økonomiske regioner, som ikke ændrer samhandelsvilkårene på en måde, der strider mod den fælles interesse.
In the letter of 2 July 2004, the Italian authorities also asked whether, in the case in point, as regards the rescue and restructuring of firms in difficulty, it would be possible for the aid paid between 1998 and 2000 [11] for loans in place as at 5 December 1994 to be covered by point 2.5 of the 1997 Guidelines, according to which ‘the guidelines are also without prejudice to the application of aid schemes authorized for other purposes than rescues or restructuring, such as regional development the development of SMEs’, given that the measures provided for by Law No 52/94 had been approved as measures intended to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, without adversely affecting trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Som svar på punkt 29 i brevet af 11. december 2003 (jf. fodnote 1), hvori Kommissionen bad de italienske myndigheder om at sende den en række regionale afgørelser og uddrag fra alle de finanslove, der var blevet vedtaget siden den 1. januar 1998, for at den kunne bestemme det nøjagtige beløb af alle de bevillinger, der hvert år var afsat til finansiering af den pågældende ordning, præciserede de italienske myndigheder, at:
Finally, in reply to point 29 of the letter of 11 December 2003 (see footnote 1), in which the Commission asked the Italian authorities to send it a series of Decisions of Lazio Regional Authority and extracts of all the Finance Laws adopted with effect from 1 January 1998, so as to enable it to establish the exact value of the allocations earmarked each year to fund the scheme in question, the Italian authorities explained that:
den eneste finansiering, der var blevet fastsat ved lov nr. 52/94, var den, der var fastsat i selve loven og opført på regionens budget for 1995 [12]
the only funding laid down for Law No 52/94 was that provided for in the law itself and reproduced in the 1995 regional budget [12];
udgiftsbevillingerne kun blev anvendt i 1996 efter Kommissionens godkendelse af loven
the expenditure commitments became effective only in 1996, after the law had been approved by the Commission;
støtten til virksomheder, der opfyldte betingelserne i lov nr. 52/94, derefter er blevet finansieret med midler, der er blevet til rådighed takket være besparelser ved rentenedsættelse og nøje anvendelse af loven, uden at det har været nødvendigt at ty til suppleringsbevillinger
subsequently, the aid to undertakings that satisfied the conditions of Law No 52/94 were financed through funds that had been freed up thanks to savings resulting from the reduction in interest rates and the rigorous implementation of the law, without there being any need to have recourse to supplementary budgetary appropriations;
regionen Lazios foranstaltning til fordel for landbrugsbedrifter udelukkende vedrørte banklån i tilknytning til gennemførelse af investeringer, der allerede var foretaget den 5. december 1994, og mindede om, at Italien i 1994 og de foregående år havde en af EU-landenes højeste rentesatser.
the aid from Lazio Region to agricultural holdings concerned only bank loans that were linked to the making of investments and were in place as at 5 December 1994, bearing in mind that, in 1994, as in previous years, Italy had one of the highest interest rates among the Member States of the Union.
I brevet til Kommissionen af 3. april 2009 oplyste de italienske myndigheder, at alle støtteansøgninger i forbindelse med ordningen var indgivet inden den 1. januar 1998.
In the letter sent to the Commission on 3 April 2009, the Italian authorities clarified that all the aid applications under the scheme had been submitted prior to 1 January 1998.
Efter artikel 87, stk. 1, i EF-traktaten er statsstøtte eller støtte, som ydes ved hjælp af statsmidler under enhver tænkelig form, og som fordrejer eller truer med at fordreje konkurrencevilkårene ved at begunstige visse virksomheder eller visse produktioner, uforenelig med fællesmarkedet i det omfang, den påvirker samhandelen mellem medlemsstaterne.
According to Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty, any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods is, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, incompatible with the common market.
Den pågældende foranstaltning svarer til definitionen, idet den begunstiger visse virksomheder (dem, der i landbrugssektoren skal klare dyre lån) og kan påvirke samhandelen i betragtning af Italiens position i sektoren for landbrugsprodukter (Italien var f.eks. i 2006 den tredjestørste oksekødsproducent og den største tomatproducent i EU).
The measure in question meets this definition, insofar as it favours certain undertakings (those with onerous debts in the agricultural sector) and can affect trade, given Italy’s position in the agricultural production sector (by way of example, in 2006 Italy was the third-largest beef and veal producer and the largest tomato producer in the Union).
I de tilfælde, der er omhandlet i EF-traktatens artikel 87, stk. 2 og 3, kan sådanne foranstaltninger dog undtagelsesvis anses for forenelige med fællesmarkedet.
However, in the cases provided for in Article 87(2) and (3) of the EC Treaty, such measures may, by derogation, be considered compatible with the common market.
I betragtning af den pågældende støtteordning er den eneste mulige undtagelse i dette tilfælde den i EF-traktatens artikel 87, stk. 3, litra c), anførte, nemlig støtte til fremme af udviklingen af visse erhvervsgrene eller økonomiske regioner, når den ikke ændrer samhandelsvilkårene på en måde, der strider mod den fælles interesse.
In the present case, given the type of scheme in question, the only derogation that may be invoked is that laid down in Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty, according to which aid may be considered compatible with the common market if it is intended to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, provided that it does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Inden Kommissionen undersøger, om den pågældende undtagelse kan anvendes, bemærker den, at de italienske myndigheder i brevet af 2. juli 2004, der blev sendt, efter at Kommissionen havde indledt proceduren i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 88, stk. 2, anførte, at proceduren for ophævelse af artikel 257 i lov nr. 10/01 var indledt, og at der ikke var udbetalt nogen støtte i henhold til bestemmelserne i den artikel.
Before examining the applicability of that derogation, the Commission would point out that, in their letter of 2 July 2004 following initiation of the procedure under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty, the Italian authorities stated that the procedure to repeal Article 257 of Law No 10/01 had been launched and that no aid had been paid out pursuant to that article.
Ved telex af 20. september 2005 bad Kommissionen de italienske myndigheder om at fremsende bevis for, at artikel 257 i lov nr. 10/01 er ophævet.
By telex dated 20 September 2005, the Commission asked the Italian authorities to supply proof that Article 257 of Law No 10/01 had been repealed.
Kommissionens tjenestegrene modtog svar på nævnte telex ved brev af 16. juli 2008, hvori det bekræftes, at de omstridte bestemmelser i artikel 257 i lov nr. 10/01 er ophævet ved artikel 27, stk. 2, i lov nr. 4 af 28. april 2006, og at anvendelsen af nævnte artikel under alle omstændigheder var blokeret, lige fra proceduren i EF-traktatens artikel 88, stk. 2, blev indledt.
The Commission received a reply to that telex by letter dated 16 July 2008 confirming the repeal, by means of Article 27(2) of Regional Law No 4 of 28 April 2006, of the disputed provisions contained in Article 257 of Law No 10/01, the application of which had in any case been on hold since the procedure under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty had been initiated.
De italienske myndigheder meddelte endvidere, at anmeldelsen af ovennævnte artikel 257 var blevet trukket tilbage i deres brev af 2. juli 2004.
Moreover, the Italian authorities announced the withdrawal of the notification of the aforementioned Article 257 in their letter of 2 July 2004.
I betragtning af disse forhold har Kommissionen ingen grund til at fortsætte sine undersøgelser af bestemmelserne i artikel 257 i lov nr. 10/01 og kan afslutte undersøgelsesproceduren.
In view of the foregoing, the Commission has no reason to continue its investigations into the provisions of Article 257 of Law No 10/01 and can close its examination procedure.
Med hensyn til, om undtagelsen i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 87, stk. 3, litra c), kan anvendes i forbindelse med den støtte, der er givet fra den 1. januar 1998 til den 31. december 2000 (jf. fodnote 11), bemærker Kommissionen, at de italienske myndigheder i sine bemærkninger efter indledningen af proceduren i traktatens artikel 88, stk. 2, og under det efterfølgende møde fremførte, at de omstridte foranstaltninger udelukkende blev finansieret med bevillinger på budgettet for den af Kommissionen godkendte støtteordning C 43/95 (jf. punkt 24).
As regards the applicability of the derogation under Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty in relation to the aid granted between 1 January 1998 and 31 December 2000 (see footnote 11), the Commission notes that, in the comments made after the procedure under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty was initiated and during the subsequent meeting, the Italian authorities clarified that the aid in question was funded exclusively from the sums entered in the budget for scheme C 43/95, which was approved by the Commission (see recital 24).
Det fremgår desuden af brevet fra de italienske myndigheder af 3. april 2009, at alle ansøgninger om støtte var indgivet inden den 1. januar 1998 (jf. punkt 25).
It is also inferred from the letter of 3 April 2009 from the Italian authorities that all the aid applications were submitted prior to 1 January 1998 (see recital 25).
I betragtning af, at det af ovennævnte yderligere oplysninger fremgår, at de i perioden 1998-2000 anvendte bevillinger allerede har været genstand for Kommissionens beslutning, og at der ikke er indgivet ansøgninger efter den dato, siden hvilken nye ansøgninger skulle være i overensstemmelse med de nye bestemmelser for støtte til redning og omstrukturering af kriseramte virksomheder (jf. punkt 17), har Kommissionen ingen grund til på ny at udtale sig i lyset af ovennævnte bestemmelser om, hvorvidt undtagelsen i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 87, stk. 3, litra c), kan anvendes på den støtte, der er givet i perioden 1998-2000, og som reelt består af en fortsættelse af finansieringerne ifølge de støtteansøgninger, der var indgivet inden den 1. januar 1998, og som opfylder betingelserne i punkt 15, som Kommissionen allerede havde godkendt (jf. punkt 14).
Since these clarifications demonstrate that the sums used between 1998 and 2000 were already covered by a Commission decision and that no applications were submitted subsequent to the date after which any new application had to be in line with the new provisions on aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty (see recital 17), the Commission no longer has any reason to take a new decision, in the light of these provisions, on the applicability of the derogation under Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty to the aid granted between 1998 and 2000, which, in practice, is the continuation of the funding resulting from aid applications submitted prior to 1 January 1998 that complied with the conditions referred to in recital 15, and that were already approved by the Commission (see recital 14).
Også proceduren vedrørende den i perioden 1998-2000 udbetalte støtte kan derfor afsluttes —
The procedure initiated in relation to the aid granted between 1998 and 2000 may thus also be closed,
Proceduren i EF-traktatens artikel 88, stk. 2, der blev indledt ved brev af 11. december 2003 [13] med hensyn til ovennævnte støtteordning, afsluttes, eftersom den er overflødig, da Italien har trukket anmeldelsen af 2. juli 2004 tilbage og ikke er gået videre med sagen.
The procedure under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty that was launched by letter dated 11 December 2003 [13] in relation to the abovementioned scheme is hereby closed owing to having become redundant, since Italy withdrew the notification on 2 July 2004 and has not pursued the proposed aid.
Proceduren i EF-traktatens artikel 88, stk. 2, der blev indledt med hensyn til støtte givet af Italien (regionen Lazio) i perioden 1998-2000 i forbindelse med ordningen baseret på bestemmelserne i lov nr. 52/94 som ændret ved lov nr. 13/96, er blevet overflødig og afsluttes derfor.
The procedure under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty that was launched in relation to the aid granted by Italy (Lazio Region) between 1998 and 2000 under the scheme based on the provisions of Law No 52/94, as amended by Law No 13/96, and which has become redundant, is hereby closed.

De italienske myndigheder henviser til 2000 og ikke til 2001, da der efter 2000 ikke er blevet givet nogen støtte.
The Italian authorities referred to 2000 and not to 2001 since no aid was granted after 2000.
Det var 4000000000 ITL (2061856 EUR).
This figure was ITL 4000000000 (EUR 2061856).
I perioden 1998-2000 beløb den ydede støtte sig til 1400000000 ITL (721650 EUR).
Between 1998 and 2000 the total value of the aid granted was ITL 1400000000 (EUR 721650).
Sidstnævnte ændrer ligeledes artikel 2 i lov nr. 52/94 ved at udvide muligheden for at modtage støtte efter den pågældende lov til også at omfatte dyre lån, der var optaget inden den 31. december 2000.
It also modifies Article 2 of Law No 52/94 by extending the possibility of receiving the aid provided for by that law to onerous debts existing as at 31 December 2000.
Den indeholder endelig også en klausul om, at den pågældende støtte først må finde anvendelse efter offentliggørelsen i regionen Lazios officielle tidende (Bollettino ufficiale della Regione Lazio) af Kommissionens godkendelse efter undersøgelse i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 87 og 88.
Lastly, it includes a clause under which the aid provided for can be implemented only after publication, in the Bollettino ufficiale della Regione Lazio [Official Bulletin of Lazio Region] of the positive outcome of the examination carried out by the Commission pursuant to Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty.
