Statsstøtte
The share sale means that the new share­holders will acquire joint control of Cogea, leading to a merger within the meaning of Article 66 of the ECSC Treaty between Cogea and each of the new shareholders without these themselves being merged.
Indtil udgangen af 1986 var Kommissionens gennemgang af statsstøtteprojekter til miljøbeskyttelsesforanstaltninger baseret på de kriterier, der var fastlagt i »fællesskabsrammer for statsstøtte til miljøbeskyttelse«. Disse rammebestemmelser blev vedtaget første gang i 1974 ').
On 17 December the Commission authorized Laurweg GmbH to acquire a 50% shareholding in Gesellschaft zur Rück­gewinnung von Rohstoffen mbH (GRR), which treats and dries the residues left after the flotation of coal to recover further lowgrade coal.
I overensstemmelse med disse kriterier kan statsstøtte til miljøbeskyttelse fritages i henhold til EØF-traktatens artikel 92, stk. 3, litra b), når følgende betingelser er opfyldt:
The share sale is connected with a cooperation agreement between Laurweg's parent, the coal producer Eschweiler Bergwerksverein AG, Herzogenrath (EBV), and GRR's parent, Bruno Fechner, under which the latter will make available to Laurweg its long experience in upgrading such residues.

(i) each party to purchase a quantity of intermediate products (Blooms and billets) from Cogea in proportion to its share­holding;
I betragtning heraf har Kommissionen besluttet at undersøge håndhævelsen af princippet om, at forureneren betaler3).
(ii) the selling price to be based on the average price charged by domestic pro­ducers on the national market;
• den overstiger ikke 15% af investeringsomkostningerne (målt på basis af nettosubventionsækvivalenter)
(iii) each party to be allowed to transfer all or part of its quota to another.
• der kan kun ydes støtte til virksomheder, der har haft driftsanlæg i brug i mindst to år før de nye normers ikrafttræden
The coal recovered from the Laurweg mine will be sold close to the place of production in North Rhine-Westphalia.
• de støtteberettigede virksomheder skal selv afholde samtlige udgifter til normale investeringer i udskiftninger og driftsomkostninger.
As EBV's share of this market will still be quite small even with the extra recovered coal from the Laurweg mine, the Commission considered that the merger between Laurweg and GRR would not have effects disqualifying it from authorization under Article 66(2) of the ECSC Treaty.
Desuden vil der blive ydet et engangstilskud på 4 000 FL for hver langtidsledige, der ansættes, til arbejdsgivere eller arbejdsgiverforeninger, som gennemfører et uddannelsesprogram for disse tidligere arbejdsløse.
Cogea's annual production capacity will be raised during the transition period to 1 million tonnes of intermediate products, equivalent to 1 170 000 tonnes of crude steel, which is 4.92% of Italian and 1.10% of Community production.

Kommissionen har i sin stillingtagen taget hen­syn til den voldsomme stigning i langtidsledighe­den gennem de seneste år og vilkårene for ydelsen af denne støtte, specielt den omstændig­hed, at der er tale om oprettelse af yderligere arbejdspladser, og at der ved hjælp af en ret ubetydelig støtte over en relativt lang periode gives tilskyndelse til fortsat at beskæftige disse arbejdstagere.
Hellenic Steel is at present controlled jointly by the Hellenic Industrial Development Bank SA, Athens (ETBA), and the Japanese company C. Itoh & Co. Ltd, Tokyo. Fol­lowing the proposed transaction, Hellenic Steel will be controlled jointly by ETBA, Itoh and Klöckner. State aid
Ophævelsen af »velstandsklausulen« i forbindelse med tilskud til strukturomlægning og gennemgribende ratio­nalisering af zonegrænseområdet blev kun god­kendt under forbehold af Kommissionens be­slutning om støtte til denne region i relation til EØF­traktatens artikel 92, stk. 2, litra c).
An assessment of the projected merger under the ECSC com­petition rules showed that Klöckner and Hellenic Steel combined would be in ninth place among Community producers of coldrolled sheet.
Kommissionen besluttede den 3. de­cember ikke at modsætte sig lov nr. 49/85 med gennemførelsesbestemmelser, som den italien­ske regering havde anmeldt med forsinkelse, og som vedrørte oprettelse af to fonde.
Up to now the Commission's scrutiny of aid proposals for environmental protection measures has been based on the criteria laid down in the 'Community approach to State aids in environmental matters'.
Den anden fond (særfonden), hvortil der skulle afsættes 90 mia lire, har til formål at yde tilskud til nye små kooperativer, der oprettes af arbejdsløse.
This was adopted in 1974,2and in 1980 it was decided to extend it with slightly modified criteria for a further six years.
Hvad angår ophævelsen af forbudet mod kumu­lation af regionaltilskud og forskningstilskud, henviste Kommissionen til den meddelelse, den udsendte i forbindelse med EØF­traktatens arti­kel 93, stk. 1, om kumulation af forskellige former for statsstøtte ').
The Commission concluded that the com­petition-safeguarding tests of Article 66(2) of the ECSC Treaty were met as the parties concerned would not have the power to hinder effective competition for steel prod­ucts as a result of the merger.
Disse nye kooperativer vil beskæftige under 100 arbejdstagere og vil ikke kunne udøve virksom­hed inden for følsomme sektorer.
Under these criteria environmental aid schemes qualify for exemption under Article 92(3)(b) of the EEC Treaty if the following conditions are fulfilled:
Kommissionen fandt, at interventionerne via FONCOOPER og særfonden i henhold til lov nr. 49/85 kunne fritages i henhold til undtagel­sesbestemmelserne i EØF­traktatens artikel 92, stk. 3, litra c).
On 19 December the Commission authorized C. Walker & C Sons Ltd, Black­burn, to acquire the share capital of GKN Steelstock, Wolverhampton, which is cur­rently a subsidiary of GKN, Redditch. (i) the aid is intended to facilitate the implementation of new environmental stan­dards;
• de forskellige former for støtte er underlagt lofter
(ii) it does not exceed 15% net grant equi­valent of the value of the aided investment;
• støtteniveauet er foreneligt med det fælles marked.
Walker and GKN Steelstock combined would have about 21% of the UK stockholders' market in ECSC steel prod­ucts.
De lofter, regeringen anmeldte, opfyldte imid­lertid ikke ovennævnte betingelser, ■ eftersom der var tale om, at de tre tilskud blev kumuleret med diskretionære subsidier ydet inden for ram­merne af forbundsstatens og delstaternes fælles regionaludviklingsprogram, og eftersom der ik­ke fastsættes nogen grænse for samtidig ydelse af tilskud eller ydelse af tilskudene samtidig med andre former for støtte, der kan kumule­res. Derfor fandt Kommissionen det tvivlsomt.
These exemptions are restricted to special circum­stances (e.g. to support environmental R & D). The examination of the proposed trans­action showed that it meets the competit­ion-safeguarding tests of Article 66(2) of the ECSC Treaty, and so the Commission granted its authorization.

fremme af fremstilling af reelt innovative produkter inden for rammerne af en omfattende strukturomlægning, at den ikke påvirkede samhandelsvilkårene på en måde, der var i strid med den fælles interesse, og at den derfor kunne fritages i henhold til undtagelsesbestemmelserne i EØF-traktatens artikel 92, stk. 3, litra c).
When the approach was adopted in 1974, it was considered a transitional measure mainly aimed at catching up on the substan­tial backlog of investments necessary in this field.
Kommissionen besluttede den 3. de cember at indstille de procedurer, den i henhold til EØF-traktatens artikel 93, stk. 2 '), havde indledt i anledning af, at der i to tilfælde var ydet støtte i form af rentelettede lån via FIM (Fonds industriel de modernisation).
On 3 December the Commission decided not to raise any objection to an aid scheme for cooperatives introduced by Act 49/85 and its implementing legislation, which had been notified late by the Italian Government.
Kommissionen havde besluttet at indlede proceduren efter EØF-traktatens artikel 93, stk. 2, den 13. januar 1986 2), idet den fandt, at disse investeringer, der omfattede modernisering af to float-glass-anlæg, ikke var berettiget til statsstøtte.
The legislation set up two funds, Foncooper, with a budget of LIT 94 000 million, which can provide lowinterest loans to small cooperatives for restructuring or increasing labour pro­ductivity or employment, and a Special Fund, with a budget of LIT 90 000 million, to assist new cooperatives set up by redun­dant workers with grants.
Som et led i proceduren havde den belgiske regering bl.a. understreget, at der med disse investeringer på i alt 1 200 mio BFR ville blive mulighed for at producere farvet glas, der blev direkte belagt i float-anlægget.
The new cooper­atives may have only up to 100 workers and may not be in sensitive industries.
Efter en gennemgang af de oplysninger, den franske regering havde fremsendt, fastslog Kommissionen, at der var tale om støtte til fremme af fremstilling af reelt innovative elektroniske produkter, at den ikke ville påvirke samhandelsvilkårene på en måde, der var i strid med den fælles interesse, og at den således kunne fritages i henhold til undtagelsesbestemmelserne i EØF-traktatens artikel 92, stk. 3, litra c).
The Commission considered that the scheme qualified for exemption under Article 92(3)(c) of the EEC Treaty.
Kommissionen traf sin endelige beslutning på baggrund af, at modernisering af et float-anlæg principielt er at betragte som en udskiftnings- og moderniseringsinvestering, og at støtte til produktion af float-glas ville påvirke samhandelsvirlkårene på en måde, der var i strid med den fælles interesse, i betragtning af den overkapacitet, der findes inden for hærdet glas og float-glas.
Pending this review, the Commission decided on 19 December to continue to apply for the period covered by the fourth environment action programme (1987-92) the existing Community rules on State aid for the environment, using the same criteria as were set out in 1980 for the period 1980-86. However, the Commission reserves the right to alter its criteria before the expiry of the environment action pro­gramme if the outcome of its review sug­gests the necessity and urgency of modifi­cations on environmental or competition policy grounds.
Kommissionen besluttede den 3. de cember at indstille den procedure, den i medfør af EØF-traktatens artikel 93, stk. 2 '), havde indledt i anledning af, at der var ydet støtte i form af et rentelettet lån på 65 mio FF via FIM (Fonds Industriel de moderisation) til selskabet Hutchinson, der fremstiller gummi udstyr.
On 9 December the Commission initiated the Article 93(2) procedure in respect of some of the changes notified by the Danish Government to its regional aid scheme on 9 September. The changes adapt the area coverage of the scheme to develop­ments in the regions' economic and social situation since the last review in January 1981.
Efter en gennemgang af de oplysninger, den franske regering havde fremsendt, fastslog Kommissionen, at der var tale om støtte til
The scheme also offers a one-off grant of HFL 4 000 to employers or associations of
Denne kapitaltilførsel, der havde til formål at dække under skuddet og strukturomlægningsomkostningerne efter en privatisering, kunne ikke betragtes som en form for tilførsel af risikovillig kapital under normale markedsøkonomiske vilkår, ikke mindst da koncernen er ramt af økonomiske vanskeligheder, og der var derfor tale om støtte omfattet af EØF-traktatens artikel 92, stk. 1.
Commission therefore doubted whether the possible combinations (of the research investment grant with the regional invest­ment grant, the energy sector grant with the research investment grant, or any of these with other types of aid) would be compat­ible with the common market and decided to initiate the Article 93(2) procedure in respect of these aspects of the scheme.
Kommissionen besluttede den 17. de cember at indstille de to procedurer, den i december 1984 ') og november 1985 2) havde indledt i anledning af de støtteforanstaltninger, den italienske regering påtænkte at gennemføre til fordel for aluminiumsindustrien, der kontrol leres af det offentlige holdingselskab EFIM.

On 17 December the Commission approved some of the changes in the con­ditions for the award of automatic invest­ment grants (Investitionszulagen) notified to it on 28 January and initiated the Article 93(2) procedure in respect of other changes.
Støtten, der tager form af kapitaltilførsel, tils kud og rentelettede lån på i alt 1 445 mia lire, kunne fritages i henhold til undtagelsesbestemmelserne i EØF-traktatens artikel 92, stk. 3, litra c).
The deletion of the 'pros­perity' clause from the conditions for award of investment grants for restructuring and basic rationalization in the zonal border area was approved subject to the Com­mission's decision on aid in the zonal border area under Article 92 (2( (c).
Der bliver tale om kapacitetsnedskæringer på de mest følsomme områder (primæi-aluminium og extruderet aluminium), medens kapaciteten fastfryses på de mindre følsomme områder, hvor der dog endnu er overkapacitet (valset aluminium og tynde plader), men øges på vækstområderne (specialaluminium, nye færdigprodukter).

With regard to the lifting of the restriction on the combination of regional and research investment grants, the Commission referred to the notice it had published under Article 93(1) on the cumulation of aid for different purposes. '
Portugal ønskede imidlertid at anvende hele direktivet på forsøgsbasis, men har mulig hed for senest inden den 28. februar 1988 at beslutte sig for undtagelsesbestemmelserne, hvis det viser sig, at en streng overholdelse af loftet skulle føre til alt for bratte strukturomlægninger. ninger.
After considering the information supplied by the French Government, the Commission concluded that the aid was supporting the manufacture of genuinely innovative elec­tronic products and would not affect trad­ing conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest and so qualified for exemption under Article 92(3) (c).

On 3 December the Commission decided that a proposal to grant aid under the 1959 Economic Expansion Act for investment by the flat glass manufacturer Glaverbel at Moustier (Namur) was incom­patible with the common market and the Belgian Government could not go ahead with it.
Princippet om et fælles loft har til formål at fremme virkeliggørelsen af dette mål.
The Commission had initiated the Article 93(2) procedure on 13 January ' on the ground that the investment, involving reno­vation and modernization of two float lines, did not warrant State aid.
Dette loft omfatter nemlig alle former for støtte, både direkte og indirekte, som ydes i medlemsstat erne, hvadenten dette sker af staten eller lokale og regionale myndigheder, til bygning eller erhvervelse af skibe.
During the pro­cedure the Belgian Government emphasized that the investment, costing BFR 1 200 million, would make it possible to produce coloured and coated flat glass directly on the float line.
Den sats, Kommissionen har sat, er fastsat under hensyntagen til omkostningsforskellene mellem de mest effektive værfter i Det fjerne Østen og EF-værfterne inden for de aktivitetsområder, hvor EF er mest konkurrencedygtig. rencedygtig.
Under the EFIM restructuring plan, capacity would be reduced in the most sensi­tive sectors (primary and extrusions), frozen in the less sensitive sectors (rolled semis and foil) which still face a small degree of overcapacity and expanded in the growth sectors (special aluminium and newly developed finished products).
Der kan på visse betingelser ydes investeringsstøtte, støtte til lukninger samt støtte til forskning og udvikling, og de medregnes ikke i loftet.
The Commission based its final decision on the fact that the renovation of a float is in principle a normal replacement and moder­nization investment and that the part of the aid relating to the production of coated flat glass would affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest, given the clear overcapacity situation in the Community for toughened and coated glass.

The capital injection, which is to be used for debt write-offs and restructuring costs for both subsidiaries after privatization, could not be considered a provision of risk capital according with standard investment practice in a market economy because of the financial difficulties of the group, and the Commission therefore felt that it involved aid falling within Article 92(1).
