Pursuant to point 105 of the 2007-2013 Guidelines, the Commission could declare State aid for the provision of technical support to companies active in the processing and marketing of agricultural products compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 87(3)(c) EC (now: Article 107(3)(c) TFEU) if it fulfilled all the conditions of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 70/2001.

ASSESSMENT OF THE TECHNICAL SUPPORT (PRIMARY PRODUCERS AND PROCESSING AND MARKETING)
Itävallan on kahden kuukauden kuluessa tämän päätöksen tiedoksi antamisesta toimitettava komissiolle seuraavat tiedot:
The Commission is of the view that on substance the rules applicable as of 1 January 2007 on technical support for primary agricultural producers were almost identical with the conditions set in the 2000-2006 Guidelines.
luettelo tuensaajista, jotka ovat saaneet tukea 2 artiklassa tarkoitettujen tukijärjestelmien nojalla ja kunkin tuensaajan kyseisen järjestelmän nojalla saaman tuen kokonaismäärä;
The eligible costs listed in Article 15(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 are in substance identical with the costs enumerated in point 14 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines [101].
tuensaajilta takaisin perittävä kokonaismäärä (tuki ja siitä perittävä korko);
The conditions set out in Article 15(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 are identical with the provision of point 14.2 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines.
yksityiskohtainen kuvaus tämän päätöksen noudattamiseksi jo toteutetuista ja suunnitelluista toimenpiteistä;
However, as opposed to the 2000-2006 Guidelines, the 2007-2013 Guidelines stated that the aid had to be provided in kind by means of subsidised services.
asiakirjat, jotka osoittavat, että tuensaaja on määrätty maksamaan tuki takaisin.
On this point the Austrian authorities pointed out that, even in the period before 2007 the technical support was in the form of subsidised services.
Itävallan on ilmoitettava komissiolle tämän päätöksen täytäntöön panemiseksi toteutettavien kansallisten toimenpiteiden edistymisestä siihen saakka, kun 2 artiklassa tarkoitetun tukijärjestelmän nojalla myönnetyn tuen takaisinperintä on saatettu loppuun.
Reference is made to the compatibility assessment of section 8.7 above.
Sen on annettava välittömästi komission pyynnöstä tiedot toimenpiteistä, jotka on jo toteutettu tai joita suunnitellaan tämän päätöksen noudattamiseksi.
Therefore, the Commission considers that this aid was compatible with the common market.
Sen on myös annettava tarkat tiedot tuensaajalta jo perityistä tukimääristä ja koroista.
As regards the technical support for undertakings active in processing and marketing, the 2007-2013 Guidelines have introduced substantive changes as compared to the previous rules; therefore, a separate assessment is necessary for this category.
8 artikla
From the information available at the stage of the opening decision, it was unclear whether in 2007 the Austrian authorities brought the technical support measures under examination in line with the above conditions of the Guidelines.
Tämä päätös on osoitettu Itävallan tasavallalle.
The Austrian authorities were therefore invited to submit additional information in order to prove that in the period 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2008 the measures complied with the new rules.
Tehty Brysselissä 7 päivänä huhtikuuta 2016.
In particular, the Commission drew the attention of the Austrian authorities to the following substantive modifications:
Komission jäsen
the differentiation between primary production and processing and marketing of agricultural products,
Kehotus huomautusten esittämiseen Euroopan unionin toiminnasta tehdyn sopimuksen 108 artiklan 2 kohdan mukaisesti, valtiontuki SA.15836, 12.6.2012, C(2012) 3760 final (EUVL C 301, 5.10.2012, s. 22).
In their submission of 14 September 2012 the Austrian authorities argued that the obligation to adapt to the new State aid rules applied as from 1 January 2008 and not from 1 January 2007, as noted by the Commission (see also recitals 172-175).
Asia T-375/04, Scheucher-Fleisch GmbH ja muut v. Euroopan yhteisöjen komissio, ECLI:EU:T:2009:445.
In the request for information of 19 February 2014, the Commission again invited Austria to provide the necessary information on this point.
Samoja perusteluja käytetään oikeudellisessa lausunnossa, joka on liitetty 26. helmikuuta 2015 toimitettuihin tietoihin.
In their reply of 30 April 2014, the Austrian authorities maintained the view expressed in their submission of 2012 and provided no further information for the compatibility assessment.
Laatu- ja luomumerkkiä koskevat AMAn toimenpiteet, joita on 26. syyskuuta 2002 lähtien toteutettu muutettujen sisäisten sääntöjen perusteella, hyväksyttiin komission asiassa NN 34A/2000 30. kesäkuuta 2004 tekemällä päätöksellä (ks. johdanto-osan 10–16 kappale).
Reference is made to the reasoning in recitals 322-326 above, which equally applies to the type of aid referred to in this section.
EYVL C 28, 1.2.2000, s. 2.
For the reasons stated above, insofar as the technical support aid granted to undertakings active in the processing and marketing of agricultural products in the period 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2008 did not comply with the new conditions stipulated for this category of aid in the 2007-2013 Guidelines (i.e. aid for large undertakings, aid for first participation in fairs, an aid rate over 50 % for any service but consultancy services and participation in fairs over 50 % or compensation in kind) (recital 350, the Commission considers that such aid was incompatible with the common market pursuant to Article 87(3)(c) EC (now: Article 107(3)(c) TFEU).
EYVL C 252, 12.9.2001, s. 5.
For measures other than those referred to in the recital above the compatibility criteria have not changed as compared to the 2000-2006 Guidelines.
Kuten edellä johdanto-osan 15 kappaleessa todetaan, tukijärjestelmässä NN 34A/2000 luomumerkkiin liittyvät mainontatoimenpiteet oli ajallisesti rajoitettu kestämään 31. maaliskuuta 2006 asti ja luomumerkkiin liittyvät laatutukitoimenpiteet 31. joulukuuta 2008 asti.
Reference is made to the compatibility assessment in recital 328 and following.
Ks. alaviite 1.
These measures are therefore compatible.
Asiakirja Norjan kuningaskunnan, Itävallan tasavallan, Suomen tasavallan ja Ruotsin kuningaskunnan liittymisehdoista ja niiden sopimusten mukautuksista, joihin Euroopan unioni perustuu (EYVL C 241, 29.8.1994, s. 21, sellaisena kuin se on muutettuna EYVL:ssä L 1, 1.1.1995, s. 1).
PARAFISCAL LEVIES AND HYPOTHECATION OF THE AID
Viittaus komission päätökseen N88/98.
Since the measures object of the present decision are financed by a parafiscal charge, the Commission must examine both the measures financed, i.e. the aid actually awarded, and the way it is financed.
Ks. johdanto-osan 145 kappale ja sitä seuraavat kappaleet.
According to a settled jurisprudence of the Court of Justice, where the method of financing the aid, in particular through compulsory contributions, forms an integral part of the aid measure, the Commission must take that method of financing into account when examining the aid [102].
Nämä raportit toimitettiin 16. lokakuuta 2000 päivätyn Itävallan viranomaisten kirjeen liitteessä; kyseisellä kirjeellä viranomaiset vastasivat komission 19. kesäkuuta 2000 esittämään lisätietopyyntöön.
For a tax or part of a tax to be considered as forming an integral part of an aid measure, it must be hypothecated to the aid measure under the relevant national rules, in the sense that the revenue from the tax must be necessarily allocated for the financing of the aid measure [103] and the amount of the tax should have a direct impact on the amount of State aid [104].
Nämä raportit toimitettiin 14. syyskuuta 2012 päivätyllä Itävallan viranomaisten kirjeellä.
PERIOD 1995-2001
Neuvoston direktiivi 92/50/ETY, annettu 18 päivänä kesäkuuta 1992, julkisia palveluhankintoja koskevien sopimusten tekomenettelyjen yhteensovittamisesta (EYVL L 209, 24.7.1992, s. 1).
According to recital 235 of the opening decision, the application of these criteria to the measures under examination led the Commission to the following, preliminary conclusions: the first criterion appeared to be fulfilled since according to the Austrian authorities the collected levies exclusively benefited the aid measures covered by the decision (see recital 53).
Euroopan parlamentin ja neuvoston direktiivi 2004/18/EY, annettu 31 päivänä maaliskuuta 2004, julkisia rakennusurakoita sekä julkisia tavara- ja palveluhankintoja koskevien sopimusten tekomenettelyjen yhteensovittamisesta (EUVL L 134, 30.4.2004, s. 114).
As regards the question whether the amount of the levy had a direct impact on the amount of State aid, at the stage of the opening decision the Commission did not possess all the necessary information to assess whether this criterion was fulfilled.
Syyskuun 14 päivänä 2012 päivätyn kirjeen liitteen 31–47 kohta.
To this end the Austrian authorities were invited to explain whether the aid amount at stake was directly linked to the revenue from the levy, i.e. whether it was established up-front or whether it depended on the concrete AMA marketing needs.
Tiedot koostuvat varsinaisesta asiakirjasta ja sen liitteistä.
The Commission also indicated that, should it conclude after the submission of the necessary information that the levies form an integral part of the aid measure, it would have to examine whether the financing of the scheme discriminates between imported products and products produced in Austria [105], or between exported national products and national products marketed on the domestic market [106] (recital 236 of the opening decision).
Kyseiset merkit esitetään komission päätöksen NN 34A/2000 johdanto-osan 13 kappaleessa.
The Austrian authorities were invited to provide information on these points.
Tätä logoa käytettiin myös ajanjaksolla 1999–2002.
In particular, they were invited to indicate whether § 21c(2) of the AMA Act, according to which goods originating outside Austria are exempted from the levy (see recital 58, was in force already in 1995 or whether it was inserted by a later amendment of the law.
Merkkiä käytetään vuoden 2000 tuotekohtaisissa määräyksissä (Richtlinien für Frischfleisch, Fleischerbetriebe, Fleischwaren, Frischeier, Putenfleisch, Milch und Milchprodukte, Obst, Gemüse und Speisekartoffeln, Speisefette, Speiseöle, Diverse Lebensmittel).
Further, the Member State was invited to explain whether products of Austrian origin marketed outside Austria could benefit from the measure to the same extent as products marketed in Austria.
Euroopan parlamentin ja neuvoston direktiivi 2000/13/EY, annettu 20 päivänä maaliskuuta 2000, myytäväksi tarkoitettujen elintarvikkeiden merkintöjä, esillepanoa ja mainontaa koskevan jäsenvaltioiden lainsäädännön lähentämisestä (EYVL L 109, 6.5.2000, s. 29).
In recital 237 of the opening decision the Commission underlined that it also had to verify whether charging the levy did not run counter to the objectives of the common market organisation in the agricultural sector.
Neuvoston asetus (ETY) N:o 2092/91, annettu 24 päivänä kesäkuuta 1991, maataloustuotteiden luonnonmukaisesta tuotantotavasta ja siihen viittaavista merkinnöistä maataloustuotteissa ja elintarvikkeissa (EYVL L 198, 22.7.1991, s. 1).
In this respect it had to be assessed whether the levies did not interfere with the price of the end products and thus whether domestic products were not discriminated against compared to imported products.
Neuvoston asetus (EY) N:o 1257/1999, annettu 17 päivänä toukokuuta 1999, Euroopan maatalouden ohjaus- ja tukirahaston (EMOTR) tuesta maaseudun kehittämiseen ja tiettyjen asetusten muuttamisesta ja kumoamisesta (EYVL L 160, 26.6.1999, s. 80).
In this regard, in the opening decision the Austrian authorities were invited to provide data showing the percentage of the respective sales prices to which the levy amounted and to explain to which extent a possible negative impact caused by the levy was compensated by the positive effects of the measures financed by the same levy.
Näitä vaatimuksia kuvataan komission päätöksen NN 34A/2000 johdanto-osan 59 kappaleessa.
In addition, the Austrian authorities were invited to explain whether the prices of the relevant products are largely market driven.
AMA-Gütesiegel Richtlinie Frischfleisch, huhtikuu 1999, Richtlinien Frischfleisch, huhtikuu 1997, Richtlinien Frischfleisch, huhtikuu 1997 (Anpassung entsprechend Beiratsbeschluss vom 22.1.1998), Richtlinien Frischfleisch vom Februar 1996, Richtlinien diverse Lebensmittel.
In their submission of 14 September 2012, the Austrian authorities informed the Commission that foreign products were exempted from paying the levy according to Article 2c paragraph 2 of the AMA Act.
Helmikuulta 1997.
This exemption applied since 1 January 1994 and therefore for the entire period of assessment.
Itävallan viranomaisten mukaan kyseistä lomaketta käytettiin 31. joulukuuta 2000 saakka.
As regards the relationship with the objectives of the common market organisation in the agricultural sector, in their submission of 14 September 2012, the Austrian authorities stated that due to the fact that the prices were formed by supply and demand on the relevant markets and that there was no intervention from the side of the authorities, it was not possible to calculate the percentage of sales prices to which the levy amounted.
AMAn toimintakertomus (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, sivu 3.
In the same reply the Austrian authorities argued that the amount of the levy did not have a direct impact on the amount of State aid.
AMAn toimintakertomus (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, sivu 12.
In addition to the revenue from the AMA levy, additional sources of financing existed.
AMAn toimintakertomus (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, sivu 35.
Namely, aside from the ‘net revenue’ deriving from the levy, and EU funds (for co-financed actions), other revenues were collected from economic operators by way of licence fees and from the proceeds from the royalties paid in the AMA-shop (cookery books, etc.) to finance the measures.
[…] – tiedot kuuluvat salassapitovelvollisuuden piiriin.
In fact, the Austrian authorities demonstrated that a part of the financing for the AMA measures was not covered by the levy [107] and thus the amount of the aid spent (which in turn influenced the scope of the measures actually carried out) did not exclusively depend on the levy revenue; in addition, the revenue from the levy was not exclusively allocated for the financing of the aid [108].
AMAn toimintakertomus (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, sivu 15.
Hence, the Commission considers that the criteria for hypothecation within the meaning of the case-law were not fulfilled for the period 1995 to 2001.
Molemmat esimerkit mainitaan AMAn vuoden 1996 toimintakertomuksessa (Tätigkeitsbericht) sivulla 17.
PERIOD 2002-2008
AMAn toimintakertomus (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, sivu 19.
The Austrian authorities were also invited to provide the necessary information to allow the Commission to assess whether the parafiscal financing of the measure (levy) formed an integral part of the aid measures for the period 2002 to 2008 (recital 238 of the opening decision).
AMAn toimintakertomus (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, sivu 13.
For the reasons stated above, and given that the sources of funding remained the same, the Commission considers that no hypothecation between the levy and the State aid measures existed also for the period 2002 to 2008.
AMAn toimintakertomus (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, sivu 26.
For the reasons stated above, and notwithstanding recital 378 below, the AMA marketing measures constitute State aid.
”Die österreichische Naturqualität hat sich mit der Unterstützung der AMA auch 1997 am Heimmarkt eine Position gesichert, mit der es gelungen ist, Eintrittsbarieren gegenüber EU-Anbietern aufzubauen und gleichzeitig den heimischen Produkten Unverwechselbarkeit zu garantieren.
For the reasons stated above, and notwithstanding recital 378 below, the aid measures referred to in recitals 208, 213, 327, third sentence and 355 are incompatible with the internal market.
Dass der ”Geschmack der Natur” am Heimmarkt sogar Marktanteile zurückgewonnen hat, ist im Marktsegment Fruchtjoghurt klar abzulesen.
The other measures assessed above are compatible with the internal market.
So konnten 1997 von den heimischen Herstellern 15 % Marktanteil von ausländischen Anbietern zurückgewonnen werden”.
Any compensation which at the time of the granting fulfilled the conditions stipulated in the de minimis Regulation [109] is deemed not to constitute aid.
Tiedot kuuluvat salassapitovelvollisuuden piiriin.
Any aid which, at the time of the granting fulfilled the conditions of a block exemption or an approved aid scheme is compatible with the internal market, up to the maximum aid intensities applicable to that type of aid.

RECOVERY
AMAn toimintakertomus (Tätigkeitsbericht) 2000, sivu 9.
In accordance with the Treaty and the Court of Justice's established case-law, the Commission is competent to decide that the Member State concerned must abolish or alter aid [110] when it has found that it is incompatible with the internal market.
AMAn toimintakertomus (Tätigkeitsbericht) 2000, sivu 10.
The Court has also consistently held that the obligation on a State to abolish aid regarded by the Commission as being incompatible with the internal market is designed to re-establish the previously existing situation [111].
AMAn toimintakertomus (Tätigkeitsbericht) 2000, sivu 11.
In this context, the Court has stated that that objective is attained once the recipient has repaid the amounts granted by way of unlawful aid, thus forfeiting the advantage which it had enjoyed over its competitors on the market, and the situation prior to the payment of the aid is restored [112].
