The Commission had decidedon 24 July 1996 that this final sum should be held in a blocked account until all the conditions laid downin the earlier decision of 27 July 1994 had been met; the Commission now considered that the moneycould be unfrozen, in view of the way in which the conditions had been complied with and theundertakings given by the French authorities, especially regarding fares policy inside the EEA, measuresto be taken in agreement with the Commission in respect of the Orly south and west terminals, and themechanisms for the merger between Air France and Air France Europe.
Kommissionen godkendte den 1. oktober støtte, som de luxembourgske myndigheder har tildelt Luxport til erhvervelse af udstyr til håndtering af containere i flodskibsfarten. Det drejer sig om en første anvendelse af Rådets forordning nr. 2255/96. som på en række betingelser indtil 1999 tillader støtte til investeringer i terminalinfrastruktur eller nødvendigt fast eller mobilt udstyr til omladning til eller fra flodkajen.

The aid accompanied a restructuring plan intended to restore thecompany to long-term competitiveness and viability in the new context of a liberalised Communitymarket.
Kommissionen vurderede, at støtten ikke er i overensstemmelse med rammebestemmelserne for støtte til redning og omstrukturering af kriseramte virksomheder.
In the light of the restructuring plan, and of the undertakings given by the Italian authorities, the Commission took the view that the aid was likely to facilitate the development of the air transportindustry without affecting trade to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Da støtten ikke var anmeldt på forhånd og var af særlig konkurrencefordrejende karakter, bragte Kommissionen for første gang Boussac-dommens muligheder i anvendelse inden for landbrugssektoren. Forud for den endelige beslutning havde Kommissionen truffet en midlertidig beslutning, hvori den portugisiske regering blev anmodet om at stille stotten i bero, indtil der var truffet en endelig afgørelse.
The authorisation given wassubject to compliance with a number of conditions, aimed in particular at ensuring that the restructuringplan was fully implemented, that the company was run on commercial principles, that there was nodiscrimination in favour of Alitalia, that the capacity offered was held to certain limits, that Alitalia didnot act as price leader, that Alitalia gave up certain shareholdings in other companies, and that the aid wastransparent and verifiable.

On 19 November the Commission gave its authorisation under Article 92(3)(c) for aid paid by the UKauthorities in connection with the sale and restructuring of Railfreight Distribution.
Begge støtteforanstaltninger vurderedes uforenelige med reglerne for den fælles landbrugspolitik. I modsætning til den franske stottesag blev de ikke vurderet uforenelige med traktatens artikel 95.
The Commissiontook the view that the restructuring plan would enable the firm to return to long-term viability, and tookaccount of the fact that the aid was in large measure intended to offset charges due to Eurotunnel for theuse of infrastuctures.
Både Frankrig og Italien anmodede om udsættelse af fristen for iværksættelsen af de endelige negativbeslutninger.
On 30 July the Commission adopted a negative decision in respect of certain aspects of an unnotified aidscheme operated by the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and required Italy to recover the aid unlawfullygranted.
Kommissionen har dog forholdt sig lige afvisende over for begge anmodninger, da ingen af dem var motiveret af, at det skulle være objektivt umuligt at gennemføre beslutningerne.
The decision is currently the subject of an action for annulment brought by the Italiangovernment, the regional authorities and 117 road hauliers.
Kommissionen indledte ved udgangen af 1995 proceduren efter traktatens artikel 93, stk. 2, over for en italiensk lov, hvorefter staten i tilfælde af insolvente landbrugsandelsselskaber kan overtage andelshavernes garantier.
On 1 October the Commission authorised aid granted to Luxport by the Luxembourg authorities for theacquisition of equipment for the maintenance of containers for waterway transport.
Kommissionen vurderede, at støtten for andelsselskaberne udgjorde driftsstøtte med tilbagevirkende kraft, uden at der i øvrigt var nogen mulighed for omstrukturering, da samtlige de pågældende andelsselskaber var ved at stoppe eller allerede havde stoppet aktiviteterne.
The is the first case inwhich the Commission has applied Council Regulation No 2255/96, which allows aid to investment inwaterway terminal infrastructure or in fixed and mobile infrastructures necessary for transhipment to andfrom waterways.
Kommissionens procedure - som udsattes som folge af den italienske begæring til Rådet - er derfor uden genstand.
The Commission took a negative final decision in a Portuguese case in which aid had been granted to thepublicly owned cereal trading company EPAC.95 The aid consisted of a state guarantee and special financing conditions on a debt consolidation loan.
Kommissionen har endvidere opgivet muligheden for at indbringe Rådets beslutning for Domstolen i et annullationssogsmål.
The Commission took the view that it was not inconformity with the Community guidelines on state aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty.
Kommissionen vurderede, at disse støtteforanstaltninger var berettigede for at opveje de svære negative økonomiske konsekvenser af såvel regionernes ømæssige afsondrethed som deres perifere beliggenhed, idet stotten under alle omstændigheder ikke ville lå indvirkning på det indre marked.
The aid had not been notified in advance, and was particularly distortive of competition; and for the firsttime in the agricultural sector the Commission made use of the possibilities allowed by the judgment in Boussac: in the course of the proceedings it made an interim order requiring the Portuguese Governmentto suspend the aid until a final decision had been reached.
Vedrørende stette afledt af" kogalskaben indledte Kommissionen proceduren efter traktatens artikel 93, stk. 2, over for en italiensk støtteforanstaltning for regionen Friuli Venezia Giulia til kompensation for værditab og fald i slagtninger i oksekodsindustricn (forarbejdning og salg) mellem den 18. marts 1996 og den 16. august 1996"".
The Portuguese authorities did not abolish the aid, and the Commission was obliged to refer the matter to Court of Justice in order to enforce Community law.
Kun direkte kompensation har været tilladt for de øvrige medlemsstater. I den pågældende sag blev der indledt en procedure, fordi der ikke var tilstrækkeligt bevis for, at der ikke var overkompensering.
As regards aid for the advertising of agricultural products, the Commission had noted in 1996 thatassurances given by Member States might not by themselves suffice to guarantee compliance withmandatory Commission rules in this field.
Proceduren blev ikke indledt, fordi stotten nu kompenserer indirekte virkninger i en anden medlemsstat end Det Forenede Kongerige.
In fact, some publicly funded advertising material has in factbeen found to contain breaches of EC provisions, Article 30 of the Treaty in particular.
Efter i 1995 at have indledt proceduren efter traktatens artikel 93, stk. 2. over for omstruktureringsstøtte fra de regionale myndigheder i Navarra til selskabet »Cárnicas del Sadar«"'4 og dernæst at have modtaget yderligere oplysninger fra de spanske myndigheder besluttede Kommissionen at afslutte proceduren.
In a case of this kind, the Commission adopted a final negative decision on a French state aid measure to encourage sheepmeat consumption.96It took the view that the publicity logos "Agneau des bergers de France " and "Agneaufrancais, qualite bouchere" were incompatible with Article 30 of the Treaty.
»Cárnicas del Sadar« er et selskab dannet af tidligere medarbejdere i et konkursramt selskab (»Pamplónica. S.A.«).
In another such case the Commission had to consider aid towards the start-up of a "regulatory council forthe quality mark "Rioja calidad".91 Public aid was being given not to a private quality label, but to a regional quality mark.
Efter konkursen fik »Cárnicas del Sadar« fra kuratoren overdraget anlæg, udstyr og varemærke til videreførelse af samme aktiviteter.
As this quality mark label was not covered by Regulation (EEC) No 2081/92, andwas in practice restricted to agricultural products of the Rioja region, the Commission considered itcontrary to Community rules.
Den nødvendige kapital til genopstart af produktionen blev fremskaffet på grundlag af medarbejderens dagpengerettigheder og støtte fra de

For så vidt angår agromonetær stottc blev der i 1997 anmeldt lire sager. Tre af disse vedrørte Irland og var baseret på Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 724/97. hvorefter der kan ydes kompensation for større indtægtstab, der skyldes en reduktion i landbrugets omregningskurser for en række valutaer.
Following the negative final decision it took in late 1996 in the French biofuels case,100 the Commissionin 1997 adopted two negative final decisions in biofuels cases in Italy101and Belgium.102It held both measures incompatible with common agricultural policy rules.
Den sidste sag vedrorte Sverige og var baseret på forordning (EF) nr. 2990/95. der vedrører samme emne. men for Finlands og Sveriges vedkommende.
But it did not consider that thesemeasures were incompatible with Article 95, as the French measure had been.
Den første irske sag"'" omhandlede revalueringerne af det irske pund i november 1996 og januar 1997, mens den svenske sag omhandlede revalueringen af den svenske krone i juli 1996.
Despite the Commission's strict policy on the recovery of unlawful aid, it did not require recovery of theaid in the French biodiesel case, because the breach of Community rules did not lead to an increase inoutput of the product assisted, and attempting to restore the status quo would in fact have left therecipients far worse off than they would have been without the aid.
Den anden irske støttesag11"' omhandlede den efterfølgende revaluering af det irske pund i marts 1997.
For the same reasons the Commissiondid not insist on recovery of the Italian biofuel aid.
I de anmeldte sager påtænkte begge medlemsstater at yde den maksimalt tilladte stottc i henhold til forordningerne.
No aid had been paid out under the Belgian scheme.
Alle støtteforanstaltningerne finansieredes kun via EF-midler.
Both France and Italy asked for extra time to implement these decisions.
De udbetalte beløb under ordningerne var derfor begrænset til 50% af det samlede beløb, der kan ydes i henhold til forordningerne.
The Commission took a negativeapproach towards both requests, on the grounds that there was no evidence that implementation wasobjectively.impossible.
Den tredje irske sag"17omhandlede anvendelsen al' ikkc-opbrugte nationale midler under støtteforanstaltning nr. N 256/97 til gennemførelsen afen ny agromonetær ordning.
At the end of 1995 the Commission initiated Article 93(2) proceedings in respect of an Italian lawproviding for the State to take over guarantees subscribed by cooperative members in favour ofagricultural cooperatives declared insolvent.
Selv om den nye ordning er forskellig fra tidligere godkendte ordninger (støtte til oksekødssektoren koncentreres om en begrænset gruppe dyr), vurderede Kommissionen, at stotten ikke var konkurrencefordrejende, da støtteniveauet ikke kompenserede for producenternes indtægtstab.
The Commission considered this to be retroactive operatingaid to cooperatives, without any possibility of restructuring, since all the cooperatives concerned hadclosed or were about to close.
Beskatning af importen kan kun finde sted med tilladelse fra den repræsentative partnerorganisation i den pågældende medlemsstat.
In 1997 Italy applied to the Council to have this aid considered compatible under the third subparagraphof Article 93(2), alleging exceptional circumstances.
Hertil kom. at provenuet fra importafgiften tilbagebetales til partnerorganisationen i den pågældende medlemsstat.
The Council accepted the application and decidedthat in derogation from Article 92 the aid was to be considered compatible with the common market.
Indtægterne skal anvendes til handelsfremstød for prydplanter efter aftale mellem den nederlandske producentorganisation og partnerorganisationen, dog altid med sidstnævntes godkendelse.
The Commission proceedings had been suspended pending the outcome of Italy's application to the Council; the Council's decision meant that they no longer served any purpose.
Kommissionen indledte alligevel proceduren i sagen, da den ikke rådede over tilstrækkelige oplysninger til at kunne vurdere, om de partnerorganisationer, der var indgået aftaler med, repræsenterer samtlige producenter og grossister i den pågældende medlemsstat (eller i det mindste et overvejende flertal), og om de omfordelte midler faktisk altid anvendes således, at producenter og grossister i de øvrige medlemsstater har tilsvarende gavn af reklamestøtten.
While maintaining its established policy of opposing operating aid in the agricultural sector, the Commission decided to raise no objection to in three cases concerning the Community's most remoteregions: transport aid was to be given in the French Overseas Departments and the Azores, to finance partof the cost of shipping local products; and a special economic and taxation system in the Canary Islands,which was to apply in agriculture and other industries (the "REF" scheme), included several types ofoperating aid.
STATSSTØTTE 231
STATE AID 231
Kommissionen anså det endvidere nødvendigt at hore de øvrige medlemsstater og tredjeparter inden for rammerne af proceduren, da brug af afgifts- og omfordelingssystemet direkte berører områder, som samtlige øvrige medlemsstater og deres organisationer og virksomheder inden for prydplantesektoren har interesser i. Der var derfor grund til at undersøge, hvorvidt de kunne acceptere et sådant system.
Turning to aid linked to BSE, the Commission initiated Article 93(2) proceedings in respect of aid to begranted in the region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia in Italy in order to compensate operators engaged in theprocessing and marketing of beef products for loss of value and decrease in slaughterings between18 March and 16 August 1996.103
Med bestemmelsen forpligter Kommissionen sig til at udvise »smidighed« ved anvendelsen af nationale overgangsordninger vedrørende støtte til omstrukturering i forarbejdningsindustrien i Østrig og Finland.
Proceedings were initiated in thisparticular case on the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to show that there was noovercompensation.
Kommissionen havde allerede i tilknytning til sag nr. 445/B/95 og 14/96 fastlagt, at dette kan betyde, at der skal ses bort fra de sædvanlige forbud (de såkaldte »udvælgelseskriterier« i beslutning 94/173/EF).
These proceedings are not concerned with the fact that aid is being given tocompensate indirect effects in a Member State other than the UK.
Endvidere havde Kommissionen ved udgangen af 1996 i forbindelse med sag nr. 517/B/96 godkendt en påtænkt støtteforanstaltning, idet den så bort fra udvælgelseskriterierne og ikke stillede krav om modtagerbidrag i form af nedlukning afen del af produktionskapaciteten.
In 1995 the Commission initiated Article 93(2) proceedings regarding restructuring aid given by theregional authorities of Navarre to a company called Carnicas del Sadar;104in 1997, following additional information supplied by the Spanish authorities, the Commission decided to terminate the proceedings.
Kommissionen indledte proceduren efter artikel 93. stk. 2. over for en påtænkt støtteforanstaltning, som ville indebære en forogelsc af" produktionskapaciteten i en udelukket sektor (stivelse).
Carnicas del Sadar is a company formed by staff of a company which became insolvent, Pamplonica SA.When Pamplonica was declared insolvent Carnicas del Sadar obtained Pamplonica's facilities, equipmentand the brand from the court, with a view to carrying on the same business.
Under henvisning til den fælles interesse udtrykte Kommissionen i beslutningen den holdning, at der er en grænse for, hvor bredt begrebet »smidighed« som omhandlet i 31. erklæring kan fortolkes, og at en forøgelse af produktionskapaciteten sikkert ville være at gå for vidt.
The capital needed to restartproduction came out of the unemployment allowances of the workers and regional government aid.Although formally the recipient of the aid was a new company, the Commission considered that itremained the same firm, and that the Community guidelines for rescuing and restructuring firms indifficulty could be applied.
Selv om denne form for støtte allerede i 1997 var reduceret kraftigt, har Kommissionens kompetente tjenestegrene til stadighed i løbet af det seneste år arbejdet med at ændre Kommissionens beslutning i overensstemmelse med den sammenligning, der regelmæssigt foretages af" støtteniveauet før og efter tiltrædelsen.
Four aid measures related to agrimonetary problems were notified in 1997.
Kommissionen besluttede den 18. august 1997 at indlede proceduren efter traktatens artikel 93, stk. 2, over for stottc fra de italienske myndigheder til et midlertidigt stop af fiskeriaktiviteter.
Three concerned Ireland, andwere based on Council Regulation (EC) No 724/97, which allowed compensation to be granted for lossof income as a result of a reduction in the agricultural conversion rates for certain currencies.
Kommissionen mener, at den pågældende støtte, som er ydet efter forudsigelige og gentagne fiskeristop, udgør driftsstøtte i strid med de almindelige konkurrenceregler, da støtten har til formål at frigøre virksomheden for omkostninger, den normalt skulle have båret over den lobende drift eller de sædvanlige aktiviteter.
The othercase concerned Sweden, and was based on Regulation (EC) No 2990/95, which made similar provisionfor Finland and Sweden.
Kommissionen besluttede den 22. december 1997 at indlede proceduren efter traktatens artikel 93, stk. 2, over for en italiensk støtte til rekapitalisering af fiskeriandelsselskaber, da det er uklart, om den offentlige deltagelse i kapitalforhøjelsen har haft til formål at finansiere et investeringsprojekt eller at dække andelsselskabernes driftsunderskud.
The first Irish case related to the revaluation of the Irish pound in November 1996 and January 1997;105the Swedish case related to the revaluation of the Swedish krona of July 1996; and the second Irish aid related to the revaluation of the Irish pound in March 1997.106 Both Member States envisaged grantingthe maximum aid allowed under the Regulations.
Den 1 1. juli besluttede Kommissionen at indlede proceduren efter traktatens artikel 93, stk. 2, over for en nederlandsk støtte til fiskeriauktionen i Schrcveningcn.
In the third Irish case107 national moneys unused in the framework of aid measure No N 256/97 were tobe utilised for a new agrimonetary scheme.
Proceduren er indledt på baggrund af" en klage, som to andre nederlandske fiskeriauktioner i den private sektor har indgivet til Kommissionen.
Although the new scheme was different from the schemesapproved earlier (concentrating aid to the beef sector on a restricted class of animals), the Commission
