As far as the intensity of the aid is concerned, Farm Dairy noted that the final intensity of the aid was […] [6] % of the real investment costs, contrary to the figure of 8,5 % of the estimated investment costs.
Abi intensiivsuse kohta märgib Farm Dairy, et abi lõplik osakaal moodustas […] [6] % tegelikest investeerimiskuludest, erinevalt esialgselt kavandatud 8,5 %-st.
This percentage is clearly lower than the authorised percentages (for example, in favour of small and medium-sized enterprises).
See protsent on lubatavatest protsentidest (nt väikestele ja keskmise suurusega ettevõtetele) selgelt väiksem.
Farm Dairy’s observations concerning assessment under the Flevoland SPD
Farm Dairy märkused Flevolandi ühtset programmdokumenti käsitleva hinnangu kohta
Flevoland Province assessed the measure under measure 3.3 of the Flevoland SPD, which is intended to stimulate new agricultural activities and has environmental and job creation goals.
Flevolandi provints hindas meedet seoses Flevolandi ühtse programmdokumendi meetmega 3.3, milles käsitletakse uute põllumajandustegevuste stimuleerimist, seades eesmärgiks töökohtade loomise ja keskkonnaküsimused.
Farm Dairy expressed its surprise to see the Commission qualify the measure as requiring assessment under point 3.2 of the Flevoland SPD regarding Council Regulation (EEC) No 866/90 of 29 March 1990 on improving the processing and marketing conditions for agricultural products [7].
Farm Dairy väljendab oma imestust selle üle, et komisjoni arvates tuleks meedet hinnata seoses Flevolandi ühtse programmdokumendi meetmega 3.2, milles käsitletakse nõukogu 29. märtsi 1990. aasta määrust (EMÜ) nr 866/90 põllumajandustoodete töötlemis- ja turustamistingimuste parandamise kohta [7].
An assessment from this perspective entails an obligation to meet the criteria for investments in point 2.3 of the Annex to Decision 94/173/EC.
Sellisest lähtekohast hindamine tooks kaasa kohustuse järgida otsuse 94/173/EÜ lisa punktis 2.3 sisalduvaid investeerimiskriteeriume.
Farm Dairy noted that it considered that the conditions set out in point 3.3 of the Flevoland SPD had been met: in particular, in 2000 Farm Dairy had created 61 jobs (instead of the 35 initially planned) and had invested a total of NLG […] million (instead of the 18,5 million initially planned).
Farm Dairy märgib, et tema hinnangul on Flevolandi ühtse programmdokumendi punktis 3.3 sätestatud tingimused täidetud: eelkõige lõi Farm Dairy 2000. aastal 61 uut töökohta (algselt kavandatud 35 töökoha asemel) ning investeeris kokku […] miljonit Madalamaade kuldnat algselt kavandatud 18,5 miljoni asemel.
Moreover, the investment was positive in environmental terms: there was a reduction in the rates of CO2 emissions and in the use of fuels because of the proximity of the milk producers.
Lisaks olid investeeringutel positiivsed keskkonnaalased tulemused: piima tarnijate läheduse tõttu on vähenenud CO2 heitkogused ja kütuse tarbimine.
The innovative concept of the ‘make-to-order’ system reduced the need for refrigerated capacity, which consumes a lot of energy.
Make-to-order süsteemi uuenduslik kontseptsioon on vähendanud vajadust külmsäilituse järele, mis tarbib palju energiat.
Farm Dairy concluded this point by indicating that the Commission should have approved the subsidy under measure 3.3 instead of measure 3.2 of the Flevoland SPD.
Farm Dairy märgib selle punkti lõpetuseks, et komisjon oleks pidanud toetuse heaks kiitma Flevolandi ühtse programmdokumendi meetme 3.3, mitte meetme 3.2 alusel.
Farm Dairy’s observations concerning an assessment under Decision 94/173/EC
Farm Dairy märkused otsusega 94/173/EÜ seotud hinnangu kohta
Firstly, Farm Dairy considered that the aid was compatible with the criteria set out in point 1.1 of Decision 94/173/EC.
Esiteks leiab Farm Dairy, et abi on kokkusobiv otsuse 94/173/EÜ punktis 1.1 sätestatud kriteeriumitega.
As indicated above, the investment was beneficial for the environment and featured technological innovations.
Nagu eespool osutatud, oli investeering keskkonnale kasulik ning sisaldas tehnoloogilisi uuendusi.
Furthermore, the proximity of milk suppliers allowed the interim costs of collecting the milk to be reduced and the concept of centralising the production chain in one company allowed direct distribution.
Lisaks sellele võimaldas piima tarnijate lähedus vähendada piima kokkuostu vahekulusid ning ühes ettevõttes rakendatud tootmisahela tsentraliseerimise kontseptsioon tegi võimalikuks otseturustamise.
Secondly, Farm Dairy considered that the aid in question met the requirements made by the criteria mentioned in point 2.3 of the Annex to Decision 94/173/EC mentioned earlier.
Teiseks leiab Farm Dairy, et kõnealune abi vastab eespool osutatud otsuse 94/173/EÜ lisa punktis 2.3 osutatud kriteeriumitega kehtestatud nõuetele.
In particular, Farm Dairy argued that the investment included a major innovative part, for two reasons: firstly, the company’s internal process is based on a ‘make-to-order’ system.
Eelkõige on Farm Dairy seisukohal, et suur osa investeeringust on uuenduslik ning seda kahel põhjusel: esiteks, ettevõttesisene tööprotsess põhineb make-to-order süsteemil.
This means that the raw material, the milk, is transformed within the company to a finished product, which is packed on site and loaded immediately into refrigerated lorries.
See tähendab, et tooraineks olev piim töödeldakse ettevõttes lõpptooteks, mis pakendatakse kohapeal ja laaditakse kohe külmutusautodesse.
Consequently, this eliminates the need to use a central distribution facility.
Seega kaob vajadus kasutada logistilist jaotuskeskust.
The system also makes it possible to match the initial supply of milk exactly to the quantity of orders in hand.
Samuti tagatakse sellise süsteemiga, et piima algne kogus vastab täpselt olemasolevate tellimuste hulgale.
Consequently, this significantly reduces the refrigeration costs connected with transporting milk to the plant.
See vähendab tunduvalt piima tehasest väljaveol tekkivaid külmutuskulusid.
Farm Dairy emphasised that it has invested in modern pasteurisation systems with a high yield in proportion to energy requirements.
Farm Dairy rõhutab, et on investeerinud kaasaegsetesse pastöriseerimisliinidesse, millel on energiavajadusega võrreldes kõrge tootlus.
This production process has contributed to the high quality of the Farm Dairy products.
Selline tootmisprotsess on aidanud saavutada Farm Dairy toodete kõrge kvaliteedi.
Secondly, Farm Dairy reported having also innovated at production level by introducing 2-litre polyethylene containers on the Dutch market.
Teiseks märgib Farm Dairy, et on teinud uuendusi ka tootmise tasandil, tuues Madalmaade turule kaheliitrised polüetüleenist pakendid.
It was not until 2004 that these containers were in high demand.
Alles 2004. aastal tekkis nende pakendite järele suur nõudmine.
Since 2004 Farm Dairy has filled 2-litre containers with more than […] million litres of milk, which makes up […] % of its total milk production.
Alates 2004. aastast pakendab Farm Dairy rohkem kui […] miljonit liitrit piima kaheliitristesse pakenditesse, mis moodustab […] % tema piima kogutoodangust.
Annexed to Farm Dairy’s observations is a press article reporting on this innovation, along with company statistics indicating the growing proportion of milk sold in 2-litre containers in the period from 1999 to 2008.
Farm Dairy lisab oma märkustele seda uuendust käsitleva ajaleheartikli, samuti ettevõtte statistika, mis näitab kaheliitristes pakendites müüdava piima kasvavat osakaalu ajavahemikul 1999–2008.
Also enclosed with the comments from Farm Dairy is a report entitled ‘Innovations by Farm Dairy at the time of the SPD application in 1998’, by […], who was the then […] of the competitor company […].
Samuti lisab Farm Dairy oma märkustele aruande pealkirjaga „Farm Dairy uuendused ühtse programmdokumendi raames esitatud taotluse ajal 1998. aastal”, mille koostas […], kes oli sel ajal konkureeriva ettevõtja […] juures […] ametikohal.
Farm Dairy emphasised that this independent report shows that the introduction of 2-litre polyethylene containers on the Dutch market was revolutionary to the extent that the two dominant parties (Friesland-Coberco and Campina Melkunie) tried to curb the introduction of this packaging.
Farm Dairy rõhutab, et selles sõltumatus aruandes osutatakse, et kaheliitriste polüetüleenist pakendite kasutuselevõtmine Madalmaade turul kujutas endast revolutsiooni, kuivõrd kaks valitsevat ettevõtjat (Friesland-Coberco ja Campina Melkunie) püüdsid selle pakendi kasutuselevõtmist takistada.
This container had numerous advantages in comparison with the cardboard containers available at the time.
Sellel pakendil oli võrreldes sel ajal kättesaadavate kartongpakenditega palju eeliseid.
Farm Dairy was clearly the first to introduce this container to the Netherlands.
Farm Dairy oli selle pakendi esimene maaletooja Madalmaades.
Furthermore, the logistical concept of the company (production chain in one company) allowed the milk to be kept for longer because of the absence of central distribution facilities and the lack of need for extended supply chains.
Lisaks, ettevõtte logistiline kontseptsioon (tootmisahel ühes ettevõttes) võimaldab piima pikemat säilitamisaega, sest puuduvad kesksed logistilised jaotuskeskused ega ole vajadust laiendatud tarneliinide järele.
Farm Dairy also supplied a table where the specific costs of the investment relative to the production of 2-litre containers were isolated from the remaining investment costs.
Samuti esitab Farm Dairy tabeli, milles kaheliitriste pakendite tootmisega seotud investeerimiskulud on ülejäänud investeerimiskuludest eraldatud.
When Farm Dairy was built, four packaging lines were created, including one dedicated specifically to packaging 2-litre containers.
Farm Dairy ehitamise ajal rajati neli pakendamisliini, millest üks on ette nähtud spetsiaalselt kaheliitristesse pakenditesse pakendamiseks.
These costs were also separated from the other investment costs.
Ka need kulud on muudest investeerimiskuludest eraldatud.
Farm Dairy also indicated that at the time of the application for investment, it envisaged launching a line of special products: cream in goblets, fruit yoghurts and other cream and fruit-based desserts.
Samuti märgib Farm Dairy, et investeerimisnõudluse ajal kavatses ta käivitada eripäraste toodete liini: kreemid topsides, puuviljajogurtid ning muud koore- ja puuviljapõhised magustoidud.
In response to the criteria mentioned in point 2.3 of the Annex to Decision 94/173/EC on the development of demand, Farm Dairy indicated that essentially the demand came from supermarkets and that they were extremely enthusiastic about the idea of having a new player on the market.
Vastusena otsuse 94/173/EÜ lisa punktis 2.3 osutatud kriteeriumile nõudluse muutumise kohta, märgib Farm Dairy, et nõudlus tuleneb peamiselt supermarketitelt, keda vaimustas mõte uue ettevõtja turuletulekust.
From the start, Farm Dairy had supply contracts with the main supermarkets operating in the Netherlands.
Algusest peale olid Farm Dairyl tarnelepingud peamiste Madalmaades tegutsevate supermarketitega.
As far as the exception concerning the shortage of capacities and the existence of real and effective outlets is concerned, it is clear from the reaction of the supermarkets mentioned in recital 43 that the existence of real and effective outlets was clearly shown.
Ebapiisava pakkumise ning tegelike ja tõhusate väljundite olemasoluga seotud erandi osas ilmneb põhjenduses 43 osutatud supermarketite reaktsioonist, et tegelike ja tõhusate väljundite olemasolu oli selgelt tõendatud.
According to Farm Dairy, the shortage of capacities is clear from the Dutch competition authorities decision of 23 December 1998 in the context of Friesland Coberco Dairy Foods taking over the De Kievit dairy product company.
Farm Dairy hinnangul nähtub ebapiisav pakkumine otsusest, mille Madalmaade konkurentsiamet võttis vastu 23. detsembril 1998 De Kieviti piimatoodete ettevõtte ülevõtmise raames Friesland Coberco Dairy Foods poolt.
The Netherlands import more milk for processing than they export.
Madalmaad impordivad joogipiima rohkem kui ekspordivad.
The import-export balance shows that only 2,5 % of the milk processed in the Netherlands was imported.
Impordi-ekspordi saldo näitab, et 2,5 % Madalmaades töödeldud piimast on imporditud.
Farm Diary deduced from all this information that the fresh milk market in the Netherlands did not have excess capacity.
Kogu sellest teabest järeldab Farm Dairy, et Madalmaades ei olnud värske piima turul ülepakkumist.
In addition, Farm Dairy mentioned that the Flevoland milk suppliers had decided to no longer supply milk to Campina Melkunie, their client, to deliver their milk to Comelco in Belgium.
Lisaks märgib Farm Dairy, et Flevolandi piimatarnijad olid otsustanud enam mitte tarnida piima oma kliendile Campina Melkuniele, vaid tarnida seda Comelcole Belgias.
However, Campina Melkunie’s takeover of Comelco in 1991 and its final implementation in 1996 forced the milk suppliers to find another alternative.
Seetõttu sundis Comelco ülevõtmine Campina Melkunie poolt 1991. aastal ning selle lõplik rakendamine 1996. aastal piimatarnijaid otsima alternatiivset võimalust.
This other alternative was the arrival of Farm Dairy in 1999.
Alternatiivne võimalus ilmus Farm Dairy näol 1999. aastal.
Farm Dairy concluded this point by indicating the difficulties of finding more precise information ten years after the facts, and queries the duration of the procedure between the Commission and the Netherlands.
Farm Dairy lõpetab selle punkti, osutades raskustele leida täpsemat teavet kümne aasta taguste sündmuste kohta ning seab kahtluse alla komisjoni ja Madalmaade vahelise menetluse kestuse.
Payment of a compound interest rate
Liitintressi maksmine
Farm Dairy noted the duration of the procedure and its legitimate faith that the case seemed to have been closed to contest the imposition of a compound interest rate as of the award of the aid.
Farm Dairy osutab menetluse kestusele ja oma õiguspärastele ootustele seoses sellega, et toimik tundus olevat lõpetatud, et vaidlustada liitintressimäära kohaldamine alates abi andmisest.
Farm Dairy cannot be held responsible for the fact that the case remained inactive for a long period, which caused the accumulation of interest rates.
Farm Dairyt ei saa pidada vastutavaks selle eest, et toimik jäi pikaks ajaks passiivseks, mis põhjustas intressimäärade kumuleerumise.
For this reason, Farm Dairy requested the application of a simple interest rate because if it had known that the aid was illegal and if it had had the choice, it would have chosen to repay the sum earlier.
Seetõttu taotleb Farm Dairy lihtintressimäära kohaldamist, sest juhul, kui teda oleks teavitatud abi ebaseaduslikkusest ning kui tal oleks olnud võimalus valida, oleks ta summa varem tagasi maksnud.
Farm Dairy based its request on the Commission communication dated 8 May 2003, which indicated that up until then it was not clear what type of interest rate should be applied.
Farm Dairy tugineb oma taotluses komisjoni 8. mai 2003. aasta teatisele, millest nähtub, et kuni selle hetkeni ei olnud selge, millist intressimäära peab kohaldama.
On the basis of the principle of equal treatment, Farm Dairy requested that the Commission decide that the compound interest rate period should not apply for the period before 8 May 2003.
Võrdse kohtlemise põhimõtte alusel soovib Farm Dairy, et komisjon otsustaks, et ajavahemiku suhtes enne 8. maid 2003 ei kohaldata liitintressimäära.
V. Observations presented by the Netherlands
V. Madalmaade ametiasutuste esitatud märkused
By letter of 19 January 2009, the Netherlands presented their comments on the Commission’s decision to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 108(2) of the TFEU in respect of the unnotified aid.
jaanuari 2009. aasta kirjaga esitasid Madalmaade ametiasutused oma märkused komisjoni otsuse kohta algatada teatamata abi kohta Euroopa Liidu toimimise lepingu artikli 108 lõikes 2 ettenähtud menetlus.
The Netherlands reaction was limited to noting that they had no additional information to submit, having already supplied it in the context of the preliminary investigation procedure.
Madalmaade vastuses märgitakse vaid seda, et neil ei ole esitada lisateavet, sest kõik on juba esialgse uurimismenetluse raames esitatud.
In the light of Farm Dairy’s comments, the Commission nonetheless wished to obtain additional explanations.
Siiski soovis komisjon pärast Farm Dairy märkuste esitamist saada täiendavaid selgitusi.
To this effect, it asked the Netherlands to inform it whether the introduction of 2-litre containers was an innovation as Farm Dairy claimed, and whether this aspect was taken into consideration when the Dutch authorities assessed the project.
Selleks palus komisjon Madalmaade ametiasutustel märkida, kas kaheliitriste pudelite kasutuselevõtu puhul oli tegemist sellise uuendusega, nagu Farm Dairy väitis, ning kas Madalmaade ametiasutused võtsid projekti hindamisel seda aspekti arvesse.
As far as the make-to-order process was concerned, the Commission asked the Netherlands to comment on the information provided by Farm Dairy stating that this process constituted an innovation at the time of the application for investment.
Make-to-order protsessi osas palus komisjon Madalmaade ametiasutustel kommenteerida Farm Dairy esitatud teavet selle kohta, milles seisnes asjaomase protsessi uuenduslikkus investeerimisnõudluse ajal.
Lastly, the Commission asked the Netherlands to comment on the existence of realistic outlets and shortage of capacity at the time the aid was awarded, by providing it with any study or document that may be useful in this respect.
Viimaks palus komisjon Madalmaade ametiasutustel esitada oma märkused tegelike väljundite olemasolu ja ebapiisava pakkumise kohta abi andmise ajal, esitades selle kohta kõik uuringud või dokumendid, mida nad kasulikuks peavad.
The Netherlands submitted the TNO report and letters sent by the NZO and [x].
Madalmaad esitasid TNO aruande ning NZO ja [x] dokumendid.
This information shows that Farm Dairy was clearly the first to introduce the 2-litre containers on the Dutch market, and that these containers were an innovation in 1999, given that before then milk was sold only in 1 litre or 1,5 litre containers.
Sellest teabest nähtub, et Farm Dairy oli tõepoolest esimene, kes kaheliitrised pakendid Madalmaade turule tõi ning et 1999. aastal kujutasid need pakendid endast uuendust, arvestades, et enne seda müüdi piima ainult liitristes või pooleteiseliitristes kartongpakendites.
This aspect was not taken into account during the IKC’s assessment and the Province was not aware of this aspect.
Seda aspekti ei olnud IKC hindamises arvesse võetud ning provints ei olnud sellest aspektist teadlik.
The Netherlands have indicated that this aspect would undoubtedly have changed the opinion given by the IKC at the time, by modifying the opinion on the innovative character of the project.
Madalmaad osutasid, et see aspekt oleks kahtlemata muutnud IKC sel ajal esitatud arvamust, muutes projekti uuendusliku iseloomu kohta antud seisukohta.
Given that the IKC no longer exists, it is no longer possible to ask it for a second opinion.
Arvestades, et IKC enam ei eksisteeri, ei ole IKC-lt siiski võimalik teist arvamust küsida.
At the Commission’s request, the Netherlands sent a detailed list of the costs related only to the specific investment for the introduction of 2-litre containers.
Komisjoni taotlusel esitasid Madalmaade ametiasutused üksikasjaliku kuluarvestuse ainult kaheliitriste pakendite kasutuselevõtmisega seotud investeeringu kohta.
According to these figures, a total of FL 1840000 (i.e. EUR 834956) was devoted to the specific investment for the 2-litre containers.
Selle arvestuse järgi eraldati 1840000 Madalmaade kuldnat (ehk 834956 eurot) konkreetselt kaheliitriste pakendite jaoks ettenähtud investeeringuks.
The Dutch authorities added the cost of a quarter of the packaging lines to this, given that of the four packaging lines, one line was dedicated entirely to filling the 2-litre containers.
Sellele lisasid Madalmaade ametiasutused neljandiku pakendamisliinide kuludest, arvestades, et neljast pakendamisliinist oli üks liin täielikult ette nähtud kaheliitriste pudelite täitmiseks.
This sum amounted to FL 2936250 (i.e. EUR 1332412).
Asjaomane summa on 2936250 Madalmaade kuldnat (st 1332412 eurot).
The total sum thus amounted to FL 4776250 (i.e. EUR 2167367).
Kokku on summa seega 4776250 Madalmaade kuldnat (ehk 2167367 eurot).
With regard to the ‘make-to-order’ concept, the Commission asked the Netherlands to comment on its innovative character and to clarify whether the observations presented by Farm Dairy were liable to modify the earlier assessment, according to which the innovative nature of the project was quite poor.
Seoses make-to-order kontseptsiooniga palus komisjon Madalmaade ametiasutustel kommenteerida selle uuenduslikku iseloomu ning osutada, kas Farm Dairy esitatud märkused võiksid muuta varem koostatud hinnangut, mille kohaselt oli projekt uuenduslikkuse seisukohalt üsna nõrk.
The Netherlands replied that the IKC’s opinion considered that the project was innovative in part, in that the innovative character was not due to a product innovation but rather a market innovation.
Madalmaade ametiasutused vastasid, et IKC arvamuses leiti, et projekt oli osaliselt uuenduslik, sest uuenduslikkus ei seisnenud mitte toodete vaid turu uuendamises.
The assessment was made in the context of an application for co-financing from the Ministry of Agriculture.
Hindamine tehti põllumajandusministeeriumi kaasrahastamise taotluse raames.
However, the Netherlands invoked other arguments to justify the innovative character of the project. They claimed that the ‘make-to-order’ system had increased the efficiency of the milk supply, by allowing milk to be kept for a longer period, and that in a country where people primarily consume pasteurised milk (rather than sterilised milk which keeps for longer).
Madalmaad esitavad sellegipoolest muid argumente projekti uuendusliku iseloomu tõendamiseks; make-to-order süsteem muutis piima tarnimise tõhusamaks, võimaldades piima säilitada pikema ajavahemiku jooksul ning seda riigis, kus tarbitakse peamiselt pastöriseeritud piima (steriliseeritud piima asemel, mille säilivusaeg on pikem).
The Netherlands also cited the TNO study with regard to the innovative nature of the make-to-order system.
Samuti tsiteerivad Madalmaade ametiasutused make-to-order süsteemi uuendusliku iseloomuga seoses TNO tehtud uuringut.
This study indicates that the main system at the time was the ‘make-to-stock’ system, where a certain amount of stock is kept in reserve to be sold afterwards.
Selles uuringus märgitakse, et sel ajal oli põhiliseks süsteemiks make-to-stock süsteem, kus teatav varu jäeti hilisemaks müümiseks reservi.
This reduces delivery times, but also reduces flexibility with regard to the needs of clients ‘such as supermarkets’.
Tarneaeg lühenes, kuid ühtlasi vähenes ka paindlikkus klientide, näiteks supermarketite vajaduste suhtes.
The ‘make-to-order’ system, for its part, is better able to meet this need for flexibility.
Seevastu make-to-order süsteem võimaldas täita seda paindlikkuse vajadust.
Consequently, the Netherlands concluded that this concept was innovative in nature.
Seetõttu peavad Madalmaade ametiasutused seda kontseptsiooni uuenduslikuks.
With regard to the existence of outlets and the absence of excess capacity, the Netherlands cited a report from Rabobank International from April 2009, which notes that 2,5 % of all the farm milk processed is imported.
Väljundite olemasolu ja ülepakkumise puudumise kohta tsiteerivad Madalmaade ametiasutused Rabobank Internationali 1999. aasta aprillikuu aruannet, milles märgitakse, et 2,5 % kogu töödeldud talupiimast on imporditud.
When factory milk is taken into account (i.e. milk that has been pasteurised to allow for longer transport), 10,5 % of all processed milk is imported.
Kui võtta arvesse tehasepiima (st pikemat transporti võimaldavat pastöriseeritud piima), on imporditud 10,5 % kogu töödeldud piimast.
