According to the UK authorities, in case of a round trip the exempt material will only be able to be transported for an extra 11,6 miles.
Artikkel 4
Moreover, the UK authorities claim that, the quantities supplied are generally very small as the exempt materials are only suitable for low-grade aggregates.
Individuaalne abi, mida anti artikli 1 lõikes 1 osutatud sellise abikava alusel, mis vastab tingimustele, mis on sätestatud määruses, mis on vastu võetud määruse (EÜ) nr 994/98 artikli 1 alusel ja mida kohaldati abi andmise ajal, või mis tahes muu heakskiidetud abikava asemel, on kooskõlas siseturuga.
If more traditional aggregates are required for a project, no distortion of competition will occur.
Artikkel 5
Information received by the Commission discloses the exemption for shale significantly distorts competition.
Ühendkuningriik nõuab abisaajatelt sisse siseturuga kokkusobimatu abi, mis anti artikli 1 lõikes 1 osutatud abikava alusel.
Numerous interested parties claimed that shale is used as aggregates and has a significant impact on local markets, especially in Northern Ireland.
Tagasinõutava abi summa hõlmab intresse, mis arvestatakse alates hetkest, mil abi abisaajate käsutusse anti, kuni selle tegeliku tagasimaksmiseni.
Apparently, in Northern Ireland there have been hundreds of thousands of tonnes of shale imported from Donegal, in Ireland.
Intressid arvutatakse vastavalt komisjoni määruse (EÜ) nr 794/2004 [100] V peatükile liitintressina.
Construction projects along the border with Ireland have used exempt aggregates from Ireland classified as shale.
Artikkel 6
Interested parties also pointed to a particular problem with shale deposits that are being used on large construction sites, especially along the Glasgow-Edinburgh corridor.
Artikli 1 lõikes 1 nimetatud abikava kohane abi nõutakse sisse viivitamata ja tõhusalt.
This has affected competition between different quarries and prevented other quarries from selling their low value by-products.
Ühendkuningriik tagab, et käesolev otsus täidetakse nelja kuu jooksul alates selle teatavakstegemisest.
Moreover, the Commission notes that the market for shale aggregates is rather local and that the national market for aggregates in the United Kingdom does not offer a good assessment base.
Artikkel 7
Due to the low prices of the shale aggregates and the high transportation costs, as also pointed out by the UK authorities, they can only travel for a limited distance in order to supply customers and be able to compete with other low-grade aggregates producers.
Ühendkuningriik edastab komisjonile kahe kuu jooksul alates käesoleva otsuse teatavakstegemisest järgmise teabe:
Therefore, an assessment of this type would be more relevant on a local level.

ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT UNDER ARTICLE 107(3)(b) TFEU — AID PROMOTING THE EXECUTION OF AN IMPORTANT PROJECT OF COMMON EUROPEAN INTEREST
Komisjoni taotlusel esitab Ühendkuningriik viivitamata teabe meetmete kohta, mida käesoleva otsuse täitmiseks on võetud või kavatsetakse võtta.
As mentioned above, the UK authorities contend that the exemption for products consisting wholly or mainly of shale and shale spoil could be found compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(b) TFEU as promoting environmental protection as a project of common European interest.
Lisaks edastab Ühendkuningriik üksikasjalikud andmed abisummade ja intresside kohta, mille abisaajad on juba tagasi maksnud.
the aid proposal concerns a project which is specific and clearly defined in respect of the terms of its implementation including its participants, its objectives and effects and the means to achieve the objectives.
Komisjoni nimel
The Commission may also consider a group of projects as together constituting a project;
Margrethe Vestager
the project must be in the common European interest:
ELT C 348, 28.11.2013, lk 162.
it must contribute in a concrete, exemplary and identifiable manner to the Community interest in the field of environmental protection, such as by being of great importance for the environmental strategy of the European Union.
EÜT C 133, 5.6.2002, lk 11.
The advantage achieved by the objective of the project must not be limited to the Member State or the Member States implementing it, but must extend to the Community as a whole.
FAOterm:
The project must present a substantive contribution to the Community objectives.
Oxford Dictionary of Construction, Surveying & Civil Engineering, Christopher Gorse, David Johnston ja Martin Pritchard, Oxford University Press 2012;
The fact that the project is carried out by undertakings in different Member States is not sufficient;
Glossary of Building and Civil Engineering Terms, British Standard Institution, Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1993, 100–4403; http://www.uepg.eu/what-are-aggregates.
the aid is necessary and presents an incentive for the execution of the project, which must involve a high level of risk;
Vt ka 7. märtsi 2012. aasta otsus kohtuasjas T-210/02 RENV: British Aggregates Association vs. komisjon (ECLI: EU:T:2012:110, punkt 1).
the project is of great importance with regard to its volume:
Betoon on täitematerjalide, tsemendi ja vee segu.
it must be substantial in size and produce substantial environmental effects.
Täitematerjalide ülesanne selles segus on pakkuda jäika tugistruktuuri ja vähendada tsemendiseguga hõlmatud ruumi.
Furthermore, in order to allow the Commission to properly assess such projects, the common European interest must be demonstrated in practical terms:
Täitematerjale kasutatakse laialdaselt drenaaži puhul, sest täitematerjalidel on kõrge veejuhtivus.
for example, it must be demonstrated that the project enables significant progress to be made towards achieving specific environmental objectives of the Community (paragraph 148 EAG 2008).
Täitematerjale kasutatakse alusmaterjalina vundamentide, teede ja raudteede all.
The Commission notes that while the AGL serves a certain policy of a particular Member State it does not seem to relate to a project and a fortiori not a project which would be ‘specific and clearly defined in respect of the terms of its implementation’.
Sel juhul aitavad nad täita tühimikke ja kaitsta torusid (mis on mõeldud reovee transportimiseks või kaablite kaitsmiseks maapinnas paiknevate teravate esemete eest ning mis ümbritsetakse peene täitematerjaliga enne kraavi täitmist).
Furthermore, it does not appear possible for the measure to qualify as a project of common European interest as it remains a policy that is national in scope.
Täitematerjalid aitavad ka tekitada tugevaid pindu (aitavad ära hoida mitmesugust vajumist teede, ehitiste või raudteede all – sillutamata teed ja parkimisalad kaetakse täitematerjalikihiga, et luua sõidukite jaoks (alates jalgratastest ja lõpetades veoautodega) kindel pind.
In addition, since the exemptions from the AGL granted for: (i) material wholly or mainly consisting of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate, including here shale occurring as by-product of fresh quarrying of other taxed materials; and (ii) spoil of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate; do not seem to have themselves any environmental benefit as they simply encourage the extraction of such material, it cannot be said how such exemptions contribute to an increase in environmental protection.
See hoiab ära sõidukite vajumise pinnasesse, seda eelkõige märja ilma korral.
More importantly, as the General Court made clear in Joined Cases T-254/00, T-270/00 and T-277/00, Hotel Cipriani, ‘an aid measure can benefit from the derogation provided for in [Article 107(3)(b) of the Treaty] only if it does not benefit mostly the economic operators of one Member State rather than the Community as a whole’ [92].
Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_aggregate (29. mai 2013); http://sustainableaggregates.com/overview/uses.htm (29. mai 2013).
That criterion is not fulfilled where the national aid scheme merely seeks to improve the competitiveness of the undertakings concerned, in the case at hand to incentivise the use of one type of aggregate.
Euroopa standard BSEN 12620:2002.
Consequently, the Commission considers that the exemptions from the AGL granted for: (i) material wholly or mainly consisting of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate, including here shale occurring as by-product of fresh quarrying of other taxed materials; and (ii) spoil of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate; cannot be found compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(b) TFEU as promoting environmental protection as a project of common European interest.

ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT UNDER ARTICLE 107(3)(c) TFEU — DEVELOPMENT OF CERTAIN ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES OR OF CERTAIN ECONOMIC AREAS
http://sustainableaggregates.com/sourcesofaggregates/recycled/rib_introduction.htm (29. mai 2013);
For an assessment of the aid measure under Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty, it should be examined if the aid in question:
http://www.uepg.eu/what-are-aggregates (29. mai 2013).
meets a clearly-defined objective of common interest;
Glossary of Building and Civil Engineering Terms, British Standard Institution, Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1993, lk 630–3.
is necessary, appropriate and proportionate for achieving this objective;
http://sustainableaggregates.com/overview/uses.htm (29. mai 2013);
does not affect competition and trade between Member States to an extent contrary to the common interest.

As a preliminary remark, the Commission notes that measures involving operating aid are in principle incompatible under Article 107(3)(c).
Näiteks liiva, tavaliselt räniliiva, kasutatakse valuvormide valmistamiseks.
The AGL contributes to environmental protection as already established above in recital 87 in line with the findings of the General Court.
Teine näide on lubjakivi või kaltsiumkarbonaat.
Environmental protection could be regarded as an objective of common EU interest.
Peeneks pulbriks jahvatatud kujul kasutatakse seda valgendava ainena või täiteainena paberis, liimides, värvides, plastis, PVCs, hambapastas, tablettides ja puhastustoodetes.
According to the UK authorities, the exemptions from the AGL granted for products consisting wholly or mainly of shale and shale spoil, also pursue the objective of environmental protection by seeking to shift demand from freshly extracted aggregates to shale (wholly or mainly) and to shale spoil.
Samuti kasutatakse seda lisakaltsiumi pakkumiseks vitamiinides ja mineraallisandites, jahus ja söödas.
The UK authorities claim that these materials are not traditionally extracted for use as aggregates, and that they have no indication that they are intentionally extracted for use as aggregates.
Räniliiv on ka põhiline filtreerimisaine, mida veetööstus kasutab kuivainete eemaldamiseks reoveest.
The UK authorities provided information as to the state of the aggregates sector before the introduction of the AGL and the necessity to introduce a tax that would diminish the fresh extraction for aggregates use while providing suitable alternatives.
Lupja imavad taimed (põllukultuurid või hein) ja puud, kuid seda viib pinnasest välja ka vihmavesi ja väetiste kasutamine.
The Commission notes that, in principle, the exemptions from the AGL served as further means to fulfil its environmental purpose.
Selle tulemusel võib suureneda pinnase happesus ja väheneda pinnase viljakus ning mõnikord võivad kaasneda kahjulikud mõjud pinnasestruktuurile.
There are also indications that the same decrease in the extraction of fresh aggregates could not have been achieved without the AGL and its exemptions.
Tasakaalu taastamiseks laotatakse põldudele põllumajanduslikku lupja, et tagada põllukultuuridele või heinamaale vajalikud kasvutingimused.
In this regard, numerous comments from interested parties point to the fact that materials exempted under the AGL have successfully replaced freshly extracted aggregates products.
Lubi võib esineda lihtsalt lubjakivi või dolomiidi kujul (viimane sisaldab ka magneesiumi) või põletatud lubjakivi (või põletatud dolomiidi) kujul, mille saamiseks kuumutatakse kivimit põletusahjus.
Both high quality primary products aggregates, but, particularly, lower quality secondary aggregates have been replaced by exempted materials.
MPG6 – Guidelines for Aggregates Provision in England 1994, punktid 6–123 (23).
This does not include: (i) material wholly or mainly consisting of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate, including here shale occurring as by-product of fresh quarrying of other taxed materials;
Budget announcement, märts 2000 – Prudent for a Purpose:
Shale appears to have various uses as aggregate and to also be specifically extracted for aggregates use as detailed in recital 341.
Working for a Stronger and Fairer Britain – 6. peatükk:
Therefore, an exemption for shale and spoil of deliberately quarried shale only makes its extraction more competitive and risks encouraging further shale extraction As explained in recitals 575 to 580, shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate is similar to taxed materials freshly extracted for aggregates use, the same is applicable to shale extracted as a by-product of taxable materials which is the same as other by-products of taxable materials which are taxed.
Protecting the environment – Regenerating our cities/protecting our countryside – Waste;
The exemptions only make one category of freshly extracted material (shale) less expensive than the others.
Aggregates, punkt 6.91;
This can encourage shale's fresh extraction.
Pre-Budget Report – november 2001 – 7. peatükk:
This conclusion is supported by the findings of the General Court [93].
Protecting the environment – Protecting Britain's countryside – Aggregates quarrying – The aggregates levy, punkt 7.71;
Shale is a rock and its quarrying has similar environmental effects to other minerals' quarrying.
Budget announcement, märts 2001 – 6. peatükk:
There have been no claims made by the UK authorities aiming to show that shale is a more environmentally friendly alternative to other sources of aggregates even if it is specifically obtained for commercial exploitation as aggregate.
Protecting the environment, punkt 6.91.
Interested parties have also argued that the exemption from the AGL damages the environment even more than the extraction process itself as the exemption allows the shale to be transported farther and still compete with other taxed materials.
19. veebruari 2002. aasta kiri, registreeritud 21. veebruaril 2002 numbri A/31371 all, punkt 4.10.
Transportation is ensured by lorries which pollute the air and damage the roads due to their weight.
Selle sätte eesmärk on hõlmata juhtumid, kus täitematerjalid veetakse päritolukohast teise kohta, aga mõlemad kohad kuuluvad samale käitajale.
The Commission notes that the cost of transportation represents a very high part of the cost of selling shale (see recital 292) meaning that shale producers use the margin offered by the AGL to transport the material farther than they usually would and compete on a wider area with other quarries.
Ühest kohast teise transportimise korral ei kohaldata tavaliselt täitematerjali maksu;
In addition, although arguing in general that the exemptions under investigation aim at helping to reduce the build-up of waste, the UK authorities have not demonstrated that the exemptions considered as state aid with regard to shale indeed can contribute to such reductions.
vt 2001. aasta rahandusseaduse artikli 19 lõike 3 punkt b.
The Commission considers that these exemptions rather simply replace the build-up of heaps of spoil from shale fresh extraction for aggregates use and shale as by-products from extraction of taxed materials with the build-up of heaps of taxed low quality aggregates which can no longer find a buyer.
Ühendkuningriigi ametiasutused märkisid, et täitematerjalist saab tarnelepingu objekt, kui sõlmitakse leping või kui kaup vahetab omanikku ja koostatakse dokument.
The Commission therefore concludes that even if environmental protection is an objective of common interest, a general exemption for shale and spoil of shale when freshly extracted, as currently in place, actually risks to undermine this interest and does not represent an appropriate instrument for achieving it.
2001. aasta rahandusseaduse artikli 19 lõikes 6 on märgitud, et täitematerjalist saab lepinguobjekt siis, kui seda on võimalik eraldi määratleda.
The Commission further notes, as also described in recitals 589 and 590, the highly distortive nature of the operating aid granted to shale producers which, in accordance with interested party submissions, has driven other aggregates producers off the market or has displaced other low-grade aggregates that normally compete with shale as they cannot compete with the low prices shale producers can offer.
Lisaks on sätestatud, et maksu kohaldamise seisukohast ei tähenda sellise maa omandiõiguse üleminek, kus leidub täitematerjale, veel automaatselt täitematerjalide tarnimist.
Since the Commission found that the factual and legal situation of: (i) material wholly or mainly consisting of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate, including here shale occurring as by-product of fresh quarrying of other taxed materials; and (ii) spoil of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate; is comparable to that of taxed aggregates under AGL, the tax exemption of these materials may be justified only in accordance with the environmental objectives of the AGL if it could be demonstrated that the environmental objectives of the AGL can be nevertheless pursued by these materials.
2001. aasta rahandusseaduse artikli 48 lõikes 2 on sätestatud, et täitematerjalide kasutamine ehituse otstarbel tähendab nende kasutamist materjalina või tugiainena ehituses või mis tahes struktuuride parandamisel (sealhulgas teede ja radade puhul, mis tahes selliste teede puhul, kus raudtee asub või hakkab asuma ning mullete puhul) või nende segamist mis tahes ainega tasandusmördi, betooni, bituumeni, kaetud tänavakattekivide või mis tahes muude samalaadsete ehitusmaterjalide tootmisel.
However, as explained above in recitals 611 to 615 and in line with the findings of the General Court [94], the Commission considers that since shale is specifically extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate and that since there are no indications that it would be more environmentally friendly than other aggregates, the environmental objectives of the AGL cannot be pursued by exemptions for: (i) material wholly or mainly consisting of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate, including here shale occurring as by-product of fresh quarrying of other taxed materials; and (ii) spoil of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate.
Lubatud asjaolud on määratletud artikli 19 lõikes 7.
The Commission has not received any compatibility grounds from the UK authorities as regards shale or spoil of shale that are deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate that it could take into account in its assessment on the compatibility of the said AGL exemptions with the internal market.
See on seotud olukorraga, kus täitematerjali segatakse maksustatavate täitematerjalidega, mille suhtes ei ole varem täitematerjali maksu kohaldatud, ning kogu segamine toimub päritolukohas, päritolukohaga sama nime all registreeritud kohas või sellises kohas, kuhu täitematerjal on veetud maksuvabastusega hõlmatud protsessi kohaldamiseks, kuid mida ei ole siiski selle materjali suhtes kohaldatud.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that the exemptions from the AGL granted for: (i) material wholly or mainly consisting of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate, including here shale occurring as by-product of fresh quarrying of other taxed materials; and (ii) spoil of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate; cannot be regarded as compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.
Täitematerjalide ladustamiskoht kattub päritolukohaga ainult nende täitematerjalide puhul, mis on kaevandatud Ühendkuningriigi merepõhjast/vetest.
CONCLUSION AND RECOVERY

The Commission concludes that the exemptions from the AGL granted for: (i) material wholly or mainly consisting of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate, including here shale occurring as by-product of fresh quarrying of other taxed materials; and (ii) spoil of shale that is deliberately extracted for commercial exploitation as aggregate; which have been unlawfully implemented, represent State aid that is incompatible with the internal market.
