But reimbursement of the aid by farmers would not necessarily repair the discrimination against meat from other Member States caused by the tax levied at supermarket level. erefore, on the condition that France reimburses the tax levied on meat from other Member States, the Commission decided to declare the aid compatible.
Aga abi tagasimaksmine talunike poolt ei hüvitaks teistest liikmesriikidest pärit lihale müügikohas müügimaksu kehtestamisega põhjustatud diskrimineerimist. Seetõttu otsustas komisjon kuulutada abi vastavaks tingimusel, et Prantsusmaa tagastab teistest liikmesriikidest pärit liha müügimaksu.
As to the years 2001 and 2002, for aid amounting to a further EUR 400 million, the Commission came to the conclusion that the link between the tax and the aid had been disrupted since the tax was allocated to the general budget (299) and the revenue from the tax did not correspond to the cost of the public rendering service. e decision thus altogether covers the years 1997 to 2002.
Aastatel 2001 ja 2002 antud 400 miljoni euro väärtuses abi suhtes jõudis komisjon järeldusele, et maksu ja abi vaheline seos katkes, sest maks suunati üldeelarvesse (299) ja maksutulu ei vastanud avaliku loomakorjuste kõrvaldamise teenuse maksumusele. Seega hõlmab otsus 1997.–2002. aastat.
For the year 2003, a decision will still have to be taken.
2003. aasta kohta tuleb veel otsus vastu võtta.
By means of two nal decisions taken on 19 May and 14 December — a
19. mail ja 14. detsembril vastuvõetud lõppotsustega, millest esimene oli
30 1 conditional decision (
30 1 tingimuslik otsus (
) and a partly negative decision with recovery (
) ja teine osaliselt keelustav otsus (nõudes ka abi tagastamist), (
Commission decided to conclude its formal investigation into the support granted for machinery rings in Bavaria.
) otsustas komisjon lõpetada ametliku uurimise Baieri masinaühistutele antud abi suhtes.
C-49/2002 (ex NN 49/2002).The Commission recognised that by allocating the revenue from the tax to the general budget France had put an end to the discriminatory taxation, and closed the infringement proceedings.C 9/A/2003 — Germany (Bavaria).C 9/B/2003 — Germany (Bavaria).
Mõlemad otsused selgitavad komisjoni poliitikat seoses riigiabiga, mida antakse masinaühistutele, mis on talupidajate eneseabiorganisatsioonid, mille põhitegevuseks on juhtida talumajapidamiste asendusteenuseid ja masinate jagamist talupidajate vahel.
Report on competition policy 2004 — Volume 1 include the management of farm relief and machinery-sharing between farmers.
Komisjonile saadetud kaebustes osutati ühistute muu äritegevuse (kõrvaltegevuste) võimalikule ristsubsideerimisele.
Complaints received by the Commission pointed to possible crosssubsidisation of other commercial (‘non-core’) activities of the rings. e Commission recognises, in principle, the positive role played by machinery rings in the agricultural sector, as they allow farmers to improve their e ciency by sharing costly machinery.
Komisjon tunnistab põhimõtteliselt masinaühistute positiivset rolli põllumajandussektoris, sest nende kaudu saavad talupidajad kalleid masinaid jagades oma tegevust tõhustada.
In its decision C9/A/2004, the Commission therefore cleared aid (worth EUR 19.6 million over 6 years) benefiting farmers in the form of subsidised services on the basis of point 14 of the agricultural guidelines.
Seetõttu lubas komisjon otsusega C 9/A/2004 anda talupidajatele subsideeritud teenustena abi (19,6 miljoni euro väärtuses kuue aasta jooksul) vastavalt põllumajandussuuniste punktile 14.
In its decision concerning past (unlawful) aid (C9/B/2003), the Commission found that the amounts of aid received by individual recipients (approximately EUR 50 per farmer) were too small to distort competition.
Minevikus antud (õigusvastast) abi käsitlevas otsuses (C 9/B/2003) leidis komisjon, et üksikutele abisaajatele antud abisummad (umbes 50 eurot talupidaja kohta) olid konkurentsi moonutamiseks liiga väikesed.
However, the Commission also came to the conclusion that the Bavarian system for granting such aid did not e ectively preclude the grant of pure operating aid to the machinery rings themselves, or the crosssubsidisation of other commercial activities carried out by the machinery rings. e Commission therefore concluded that any aid for which no evidence can be produced that it benefited only farmers is incompatible and should be recovered.
Komisjon jõudis ka järeldusele, et sellise abi andmise Baieri süsteem ei välistanud tõhusalt selgepiirilise tegevusabi andmist masinaühistutele ega masinaühistute muu äritegevuse ristsubsideerimist. Seetõttu otsustas komisjon, et igasugune abi, mille puhul ei ole tõendatud, et sellest said kasu ainult talupidajad, on kokkusobimatu ja tuleb tagasi nõuda.
Bad weather compensation programme — RAGBY
Halbade ilmastikutingimuste hüvitamise programm – RAGBY
On 20 April, the Commission adopted a decision (302) not to raise any objections to State aid totalling some EUR 60 million to compensate farmers and shermen for losses caused by disasters (landslides, oods), bad weather (frost, rain, storm, drought) and diseases between March 2002 and March 2003. e aid intensity is 50–80 % of losses, or for certain crops lump-sum payments may be made per 1 000 m. e measure has a duration of ve years (aid being payable in various stages).
20. aprillil võttis komisjon vastu otsuse (302) mitte esitada vastuväiteid kokku 60 miljoni euro suuruse abi andmisele talupidajatele ja kaluritele loodusõnnetuste (maalihked, üleujutused), halbade ilmastikutingimuste (külm, vihm, torm, põud)

For example, the public fund renounces pro ts going above a certain pro t margin, in favour of private investors. is is one of the measures to attract private investors. e duration of the measure is 10 years.
See on üks meetmetest, mille abil soovitakse ligi meelitada erainvestoreid. Meetme kestus on 10 aastat.
On 16 March, the Commission adopted a negative nal decision concerning State aid totalling some EUR 2.6 million to compensate processing companies in the region of Sardinia for alleged losses due to blue tongue disease (304). Aid to compensate farmers for their losses had been authorised in parallel with the decision to open proceedings in respect of the processing sector.
16. märtsil võttis komisjon vastu eitava otsuse umbes 2,6 miljoni euro suuruse riigiabi suhtes väidetavalt lammaste katarraalse palaviku põhjustatud kahjude hüvitamiseks Sardiinia piirkonna töötlevatele ettevõtetele. (304) Samal ajal otsusega mitte alustada menetlust töötlemissektori suhtes anti luba hüvitada talupidajate kahjud.
Since the aid had not been paid out, no recovery order was necessary. e aid was found incompatible because:
Kuna abi ei olnud veel välja makstud, ei olnud sissenõudekorraldus vajalik. Abi peeti sobimatuks järgmistel põhjustel.
• e State aid rules allow compensation only to primary producers.
Riigiabi eeskirjad lubavad hüvitist maksta ainult toormetootjatele.
• e link between the losses and blue tongue had not been shown. ere was a drought in Sardinia at the same time that may also have led to reductions in turnover; certain cooperatives may have had less raw material delivered (and hence suffered losses) for reasons other than blue tongue.
Seos kahjude ja lammaste katarraalse palaviku vahel ei olnud tõestatud. Samal ajal oli Sardiinias põud, mis samuti võis käivet vähendada; teatavad ühistud võisid saada vähem tooret (ja seega kanda kahjusid) muul põhjusel kui lammaste katarraalne palavik.
On 19 May, the Commission adopted a negative nal decision declaring State aid amounting to some EUR 10.3 million incompatible with the Treaty (305).
19. mail võttis komisjon vastu eitava otsuse, milles kuulutas umbes 10,3 miljoni euro suuruse riigiabi asutamislepinguga kokkusobimatuks. (305) Kuna abi ei olnud veel välja makstud, ei olnud sissenõudekorraldus vajalik.
Since the aid had not been paid out, no recovery order was necessary. e aid was supposed to compensate poultry producers in Italy for alleged losses due the 1999 dioxin scare in Belgium.
Abi eesmärgiks oli hüvitada Itaalia linnulihatootjatele väidetavad kahjud, mida nad kandsid 1999. aastal Belgia dioksiinihirmu tõttu.
On 14 July, the Commission adopted a decision (306) not to raise objections to one–off aid amounting to some EUR 1 million for milk producers in Lombardy who are in nancial di culties because they have not been paid for milk delivered to the Parmalat group. e rescue aid consists in a guarantee, in line with the conditions of the guidelines for rescue and restructuring aid.
14. juulil võttis komisjon vastu otsuse (306) mitte esitada vastuväiteid umbes 1 miljoni euro suuruse ühekordse abi andmisele Lombardia piimatootjatele, kes sattusid rahalistesse raskustesse, sest neile ei makstud Parmalati kontsernile tarnitud piima eest.
Italy proposed average calculation methods for establishing when a typical dairy farmer can be considered in di culty and therefore qualifies for aid.
Päästmiseks ettenähtud abi antakse tagatisena vastavalt äriühingute päästmiseks ja ümberkorraldamiseks antava abi suunistele.
Certain farmers will be excluded because they are considered sufficiently well-off not to be in di culties.
Osale talupidajatele abi ei anta, sest nende olukorda peetakse piisavalt heaks ja neid ei peeta raskustes olevaks.
As regards aid intensity, the maximum value of the guarantee eligible under the present scheme is EUR 500 000 for individual companies and EUR 5 million for cooperatives.
Mis puudutab abi osatähtsust, siis praeguse kava kohaselt on tagatise maksimaalne väärtus 500 000 eurot üksikutele ettevõtetele ja 5 miljonit eurot ühistutele.
On 10 May, the Commission approved aid (307) amounting to EUR 1 032 913.80 for guarantees and EUR 516 456.90 for technical assistance in favour of Confidi, which are cooperatives made up of undertakings in the agricultural sector and associations thereof that manage guarantee funds.
10. mail kiitis komisjon heaks abi, (307) millest 1 032 913,80 eurot on ette nähtud tagatisteks ja 516 456,90 eurot tehniliseks abiks, et toetada põllumajandusettevõtjate ühistuid (Confidi’sid) ja nende tagatisfonde haldavaid liite.
Aid is granted, for a period of ve years, with a view to:
Abi antakse viie aasta jooksul, selleks et:
— providing subsidiary guarantees to farmers or cooperatives, provided that the guarantees are linked to operations nanced by a regional/national aid scheme approved by the Commission and that the combined aid does not exceed the thresholds set in the Commission decisions approving the aid;
• anda talupidajatele või ühistutele lisatagatisi tingimusel, et tagatised on seotud komisjoni poolt heaks kiidetud piirkondlike või riiklike abikavade alusel rahastatavate tegevustega ja kombineeritud abi ei ületa komisjoni abi andmist heaks kiitvas otsuses kehtestatud künnist;
— providing consultancy services to all farmers operating in a particular region.
• osutada nõustamisteenust kõikidele teatava piirkonna talupidajatele.
On 1 December, the Commission retroactively authorised (308) Italy to grant State aid amounting to approximately EUR 169 million for the costs of compulsory destruction of specific risk materials and the storage of low-risk material as well as income aid for beef producers to counter the e ects of the 2001 BSE crisis. e measures approved are part of Italian Law 49/2001, partially approved by the Commission at the time when the 2001 BSE crisis occurred.
Lisatagatiste rahaline väärtus arvutatakse pärast tagatise andmist sarnaselt subsideeritud laenudega, s.t laenuintressi turumäärade ja tegelikult pangast võetud laenu intressimäära vahena, millest lahutatakse abisaajale makstud summa.
Income aid to beef producers, granted via suspension and extension of tax deadlines and social security obligations, is authorised under Article 87(2)(b) EC.
Loomalihatootjate sissetulekutoetus, mida antakse maksude ja sotsiaalkindlustusmaksete tähtaegade peatamise ja pikendamise vormis, kiideti heaks vastavalt EÜ asutamislepingu artikli 87 lõike 2 punktile b.
Income aid to the downstream sector (slaughtering undertakings, wholesale and retail traders of meat) covered by the decision amounts to around EUR 103.25 per holding and is considered to be de minimis aid and therefore not caught by the State aid prohibition.
Otsusega hõlmatud järgneva sektori (tapamajad, liha hulgi- ja jaemüüjad) sissetulekutoetus on umbes 103,25 eurot ettevõtte kohta ja seda peetakse vähese tähtsusega abiks, mille suhtes ei kehti riigiabi andmise keeld.
On 8 September, the Commission adopted a decision not to raise any objections to around EUR 11.3 million in State aid towards the cost of combating avian u (309). e measure is a modification of the measure approved as N 700/2000. e announced aid intensity is up to 100 % and the duration of the measure is until 1 January 2010.
8. septembril võttis komisjon vastu otsuse mitte esitada vastuväiteid umbes 11,3 miljoni euro suurusele riigiabile linnugripiga võitlemise kulude korvamiseks. (309)
It has to be recalled that since 24 July 2002 a new framework has applied to State aid granted in the coal sector (311), following the expiry of the ECSC Treaty on 23 July 2002. is regime is based on a minimal production of coal in order to strengthen the EU’s security of energy supply.
Tuleb meeles pidada, et pärast ESTÜ asutamislepingu kehtivusaja lõppemist 23. juulil 2002 kohaldatakse alates 24. juulist 2002 söesektoris antava riigiabi puhul uut raamistikku. (311) See süsteem põhineb söe minimaalsel tootmisel, et muuta Euroopa
With regard to Spain, the Commission initiated an in-depth investigation concerning the restructuring plan and aid for the coal industry for the year 2003 (312).
Komisjon algatas põhjaliku uurimise, mis käsitles Hispaania söetööstuse 2003. aasta ümberkorralduskava ja selleks antavat abi.

On 6 October, the Commission authorised Germany to support its railway infrastructure (314). e approved aid scheme concerns guidelines on funding for the construction, extension and reactivation of private railway sidings.
6. oktoobril andis komisjon Saksamaale loa raudtee infrastruktuuri toetamiseks. (314) Heakskiidetud abikava sisaldab suuniseid erakasutuses olevate haruraudteede ehitamise, pikendamise ja uuesti kasutusse võtmise rahastamise kohta.
A private siding is a railway track owned by a business undertaking and used to dispatch and/or receive freight as part of its commercial activities. is railway track must connect directly or indirectly with the network of a public railway infrastructure. e aid scheme should contribute to securing growth in this sector and support shi ing the balance from road to rail transport.
Erakasutuses olev harutee on raudtee, mille omanik on äriühing ja mille kasutamine kaupade saatmiseks/vastuvõtmiseks on osa äriühingu tegevusest. See raudtee peab olema otseselt või kaudselt ühendatud avaliku raudteevõrguga.

Komisjon kiitis heaks ka teise Itaalia piirkondliku kava (316) Sitsiilias, mille eesmärgiks on soodustada kolme aasta jooksul kombineeritud maantee- ja meretransporditeenuseid Sitsiilia ning muude Itaalia ja ühenduse sadamate vahel.
575. e Commission approved another Italian regional scheme (316) (Sicily) designed to promote for a three-year period road/sea combined transport services between Sicilian and other Italian and Community ports. e scheme will grant an ‘environmental bonus’ to small and mediumsized road transport companies when shipping individual heavy goods vehicles of more than 12 tonnes or semi-trailers.
Kava alusel antakse “keskkonnapreemiat“ väikestele ja keskmise suurusega maanteeveoettevõtetele, kes veavad raskeid kaupu veokitega, mille suurus ei ületa 12 tonni, või poolhaagistega.
In the light of the specific geographic and economic situation of Sicily, the di culties in organising the intermodal transport market and the experimental character of the measure, the Commission considered it to be compatible with the Treaty.
Sitsiilia spetsiifilist geograafilist ja majanduslikku olukorda, raskusi ühendvedude korraldamisel ja meetme eksperimentaalset iseloomu arvesse võttes otsustas komisjon, et meede on kooskõlas asutamislepinguga.
In April, the Commission decided not to raise any objections to an aid scheme (317) intended to encourage the modal shi of freight from road to water by granting aid to new/existing coastal, short sea or inland waterway services provided that they avoid lorry journeys and that they generate environmental benefits within the UK.
Aprillis otsustas komisjon mitte esitada vastuväiteid toetuskavale, (317) mille eesmärgiks on aidata kaasa kaubaveo nihkumisele maanteelt veeteele ja mille raames antakse abi uutele/olemasolevatele rannikuäärsetele, lähisõitude ja siseveekogude veoteenustele tingimusel, et välditakse veoautode kasutamist ja säästetakse Ühendkuningriigi keskkonda.

On 12 February, the Commission took a decision concerning advantages granted by the Walloon Region (334) and the publicly owned Brussels South Charleroi
12. veebruaril võttis komisjon vastu otsuse, mis käsitles lennuettevõttele Ryanair Vallooni piirkonna (334) ja riigile kuuluva Brüsseli Lõuna-Charleroi lennujaama
Airport (BSCA) to the airline Ryanair in connection with its establishment at Charleroi. e Commission concluded that no private operator in the same circumstances as BSCA would have granted the same advantages.
(BSCA) poolt antud eeliseid seoses lendude alustamisega Charleroi lennujaamast.
Since the market private investor principle had not been adhered to in this case, the advantages granted to Ryanair constituted State aid which could distort competition.
Komisjon otsustas, et selliseid eeliseid ei oleks andnud ükski BSCA-ga samas olukorras olev eraettevõtja.
589. e Commission took the view, however, that the aid granted to Ryanair at Charleroi could be compatible with the common market in the context of transport policy, insofar as it permits the development and improved use of secondary airport
Kuna selle juhtumi puhul ei peetud kinni turumajanduslikult tegutseva erainvestori põhimõttest, kujutasid Ryanairile antud eelised endast riigiabi, mis võib moonutada konkurentsi.
Report on competition policy 2004 — Volume 1 infrastructure which is currently underused and represents a cost to the community as a whole.
Selles otsuses kiitis komisjon heaks teatud tüüpi abi, eriti abi, mis võimaldab välja arendada uusi marsruute selgelt määratud tingimustel.
Certain types of aid were authorised by the Commission in this decision, in particular aid which permits genuine development of new routes under clearly de ned conditions. e decision also indicated that certain forms of aid cannot be authorised; the Commission aims to guarantee that the advantages granted at a particular airport are not discriminatory and are surrounded by greater transparency.
Otsuses viidati ka sellele, et teatavas vormis abi ei saa heaks kiita; komisjoni eesmärgiks on tagada, et teatavas lennujaamas antud eelised ei ole diskrimineerivad ja on läbipaistvad.
At the time of the decision the Commission also announced that it would draw up guidelines dealing with the issues of State aid to low cost airlines, start-up aid for new routes and the public nancing of airports: ‘Community guidelines on nancing of airports and start-up aid to airlines departing from regional airports’.
Otsuse vastuvõtmisel teatas komisjon, et ta koostab suunised, mis käsitlevad riigiabi andmist odavlennuettevõtjatele, toetust uute marsruutide kasutuselevõtuks ja lennujaamade riigieelarvest rahastamist: “Ühenduse suunised, mis käsitlevad lennujaamade rahastamist ja piirkondlikest lennujaamadest väljuvate lennuliinide stardiabi”.
On 16 March, the Commission decided to open a State aid investigation in respect of Greece (335), expressing doubts about the establishment and privatisation of a company called Olympic Airlines (NOA) — which took over the aviation activities of Olympic Airways — as well as a number of other measures. e Commission also called into question the non-recovery by the Greek State of illegal and incompatible aid a er the December 2002 decision, the non-payment by the company of tax debt in 2003, the provision of an advance (over EUR 130 million) by the Greek State to fund the restructuring and privatisation of the company, and the non-payment by the company of the airport modernisation tax (spatosimo) charged to passengers.
16. märtsil otsustas komisjon alustada uurimist Kreekas antud riigiabi suhtes, (335) väljendades kahtlusi seoses ettevõtte Olympic Airways lennundustegevuse üle võtnud ettevõtte Olympic Airlines (NOA) asutamise ja erastamise ning mitmete muude meetmetega. Komisjon seadis kahtluse alla ka asjaolud, et Kreeka riik jättis pärast 2002. aasta detsembri otsust tagasi nõudmata ebaseadusliku ja kokkusobimatu abi, ettevõte ei ole tasunud 2003. aasta maksuvõlga, Kreeka riik tegi ettemakse (üle 130 miljoni euro) ettevõtte ümberkorraldamise ja erastamise rahastamiseks ning ettevõte ei ole tasunud reisijatelt kogutavat lennujaama moderniseerimise maksu (spatosimo).
