The 2007-2013 Guidelines lay down the following relevant compatibility conditions:
Prema tome povrat ne ispunjava jedan od kriterija članka 107. stavka 1.
the aid must be in the general interest of the sector concerned (point 144(a)),
UFEU-a, zbog čega se ne može smatrati državnom potporom bez potrebe za provedbom analize ostalih kriterija tog članka.
if there is overcapacity, the aid must be part of a programme for restructuring, which has defined objectives and a specific timetable, the period for collecting applications being limited to not more than six months and to a further 12 months for actually closing down (points 144(b) and (c)),
Kad je riječ o potporama za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti proizvodnje mlijeka, one donose prednost svojim korisnicima, koji u odnosu na konkurenciju mogu raspolagati sredstvima za financiranje drugih djelatnosti povezanih s poljoprivredom.
no aid may be granted which would interfere with the mechanisms of the common organisation of the market in agricultural products, with aid schemes applying to sectors which are subject to production limits or quota being evaluated on a case-by-case basis (point 144(e)),
Ta se prednost dodjeljuje s pomoću državnih sredstava (prihodi od poreza i dodatni resursi javnih tijela; vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 11. odluke o pokretanju formalnog postupka) i pogoduje određenim poduzetnicima (poduzetnicima koji posluju u sektoru proizvodnje mlijeka).
there must be a counterpart from the beneficiaries, normally consisting of a definitive and irrevocable decision to scrap or irrevocably close the production facility concerned; this will involve either the complete closure of capacity by the undertaking concerned or — in the case of a company operating more than one production site — the closure of a specific production site; legally binding commitments must be obtained from the beneficiary that the closure is definitive and irreversible, and that the beneficiary will not start the same activity elsewhere; these commitments must also bind any future purchaser of the facility concerned (point 144(f));
U skladu sa sudskom praksom Suda Europske unije sama činjenica da je položaj poduzetnika u okviru tržišnog natjecanja ojačan u odnosu na njemu konkurentske poduzetnike dodjelom gospodarske prednosti koju ne bi primio na neki drugi način u okviru uobičajenog poslovanja pokazuje da postoji opasnost od narušavanja tržišnog natjecanja.
only producers who have actually been producing, and only production capacities that have actually been in constant use over the past five years before closing, may be admitted to capacity closure schemes (point 144(g)),
U skladu sa sudskom praksom Suda Europske unije čini se da državne potpore imaju utjecaj na trgovinu među državama članicama kada poduzetnik djeluje na tržištu koje podliježe trgovini unutar EU-a.
only undertakings fulfilling compulsory minimum standards are eligible (point 144(i)),
U ovom slučaju korisnici potpore djeluju na tržištu mliječnih proizvoda, na kojem se provodi trgovina unutar EU-a.
it should be possible to exclude aid from being paid for the rescue and restructuring of companies in difficulty (point 144(j)),
Predmetni je sektor otvoren za tržišno natjecanje na razini EU-a, zbog čega je osjetljiv na sve mjere donesene u korist proizvodnje u jednoj državi članici ili više njih.
the scheme should be accessible to all economic operators in the sector, under the same conditions (point 144(k)),
Prema tome, potpore za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti proizvodnje mlijeka mogu dovesti do narušavanja tržišnog natjecanja i utjecati na trgovinu između država članica.
the amount of aid should be strictly limited to compensation for the loss of value of assets, plus an incentive payment which may not exceed 20 % of this value (point 144(l)),
Uzimajući u obzir prethodno navedeno, ispunjeni su zahtjevi iz članka 107. stavka 1.
at least half the costs of these aids should be met by a contribution from the sector (point 144(m)),
UFEU-a.
no aid should be granted for creating new production capacities in the sector concerned for the five years following the termination of the capacity closure programme (point 144(n)).
Stoga se može zaključiti da potpore za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti proizvodnje mlijeka predstavljaju državnu potporu u smislu tog članka.
Considering that under point 11 of the 2007-2013 Guidelines, the application of Articles 107, 108 and 109 TFEU to sectors covered by the common organisations of the market is subject to the provisions of the regulations concerned, the first condition examined will be compliance with non-interference with the common organisation of the market.
Potpora se može smatrati spojivom s unutarnjim tržištem samo ako može donijeti imati korist od jednog od odstupanja predviđenih UFEU-om.
Article 75 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides as follows:
U ovom slučaju, uzimajući u obzir narav potpora za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti proizvodnje mlijeka, jedino odstupanje na koje se može pozvati jest odstupanje predviđeno člankom 107. stavkom 3. točkom (c) UFEU-a, na temelju kojega se potpore čija je svrha olakšavanje razvoja određenih djelatnosti ili gospodarskih regija mogu smatrati spojivima s unutarnjim tržištem ako se njima ne mijenjaju uvjeti trgovine u mjeri protivnoj zajedničkom interesu.
With a view to successfully restructuring milk production or improving the environment, Member States may, in accordance with detailed rules which they shall lay down taking account of the legitimate interests of the parties concerned:
Budući da potpore za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti proizvodnje mlijeka nisu prijavljene Komisiji, valja analizirati primjenjivost odstupanja predviđenog člankom 107. stavkom 3. točkom (c) UFEU-a u svjetlu pravila o državnim potporama koja su se primjenjivala u trenutku njihova dodjeljivanja.
grant compensation in one or more annual instalments to producers who undertake to abandon permanently all or part of their milk production and place the individual quotas thus released in the national reserve;
Prema podatcima koje su dostavila francuska nadležna tijela, potpore za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti proizvodnje mlijeka imaju dva različita oblika: potpore za umirovljenje i potpore za zatvaranje kapaciteta.
determine on the basis of objective criteria the conditions subject to which producers may obtain, in return for payment, at the beginning of a 12-month period, the re-allocation by the competent authority or a body designated by that authority of individual quotas released definitively at the end of the preceding 12-month period by other producers in return for compensation in one or more annual instalments equal to the abovementioned payment;
Navodi iz uvodne izjave 33. pokazuju da su potpore za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti proizvodnje mlijeka dodijeljene u obliku potpora za umirovljenje preuzete iz nacionalnog sustava potpora za prijevremeno umirovljenje, koje se financiraju u okviru politike ruralnog razvoja počevši od poljoprivredne godine 2009./2010.
Since said Article 75 describes precisely the intrinsic mechanisms of aid for the cessation of dairy production implemented by France and leaves it up to Member States to adopt methods for implementing the aid scheme for the cessation of dairy production, the Commission concludes that the scheme does not interfere with the common organisation of the market or with its proper functioning.
Potpore za umirovljenje
As regards the condition that the aid must be in the interest of the sector, the lack of overcapacity cannot be invoked in the case under review, as shown in recital 74 below, nor is the aid linked to any requirements related to health or environmental protection.
Iz točke 85. smjernica za razdoblje 2007.–2013. proizlazi da potpore moraju biti namijenjene primarnim proizvođačima (poljoprivrednicima).
However, these are not the only criteria that might be involved (their presence is enough to justify the relevance of the aid, but it does not mean that other criteria could not be taken into account) and, in the case under review, the Commission notes that the arguments put forward by the French authorities are valid, not only because granting aid effectively opens up production possibilities, which have been redistributed in order to improve the competitiveness of undertakings in a quota scheme but also because the mechanism used corresponds to the one applied in the context of the common organisation of the market in question.
Točkom 87. predviđeno je da će Komisija proglasiti državne potpore dodijeljene u cilju prijevremenog umirovljenja spojivima s člankom 87. stavkom 3. točkom (c) Ugovora (koji je postao članak 107. stavak 3. točka (c) UFEU-a) ako ispunjavaju zahtjeve utvrđene člankom 23.
As regards the existence of a restructuring programme with defined objectives and a specific timetable if there is overcapacity in the sector, the Commission finds that the criteria set have been met for the following reasons:
Uredbe (EZ) br. 1698/2005.
the sector is in a situation of overcapacity: the main objective of the milk quota scheme provided for in Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (and, before that, Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003) is to reduce the imbalance between supply and demand on the market in question as well as the ensuing structural surpluses and to achieve a better market equilibrium (see recital 36 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and recital 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1788/2003),
Osim toga, točkom 88. smjernica za razdoblje 2007.–2013. utvrđena je obveza potpunog i konačnog prestanka obavljanja svih komercijalnih poljoprivrednih djelatnosti.
the granting of aid for the cessation of dairy production is part of arrangements aiming at restructuring production by allowing farmers wishing to do so to leave the sector and make available to others the quantities they could produce,
U ovom slučaju Komisija je u svjetlu uvodne izjave 33. utvrdila da su samo poljoprivrednici primali potpore za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti proizvodnje mlijeka u obliku potpora za umirovljenje, da je sustav prijevremenog umirovljenja koji provodi Francuska bio odobren u okviru politike ruralnog razvoja, prije svega zato što je bio u skladu s odredbama članka 23.
as for the timetable, the decrees governing aid for the cessation of dairy production provide for a deadline for submitting applications of less than six months and for closing down (which in the case under review corresponds to a capacity closure since the quota is withdrawn from the person in question) of less than 12 months.
Uredbe (EZ) br. 1698/2005 te da su uvjeti o kojima ovisi njegovo odobrenje, uključujući potpuni prestanak obavljanja poljoprivredne djelatnosti, bili ispunjeni pri dodjeli potpora za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti proizvodnje mlijeka.
For example, under the decree of 23 June 2009 governing aid for the cessation of dairy production for the 2009-2010 marketing year, aid applications must be submitted by 31 August 2009 and production ceased by 31 March 2010; the decrees concerning the other marketing years set the same deadlines, which vary depending on the date of adoption of the decree but always within the limits laid down in the 2007-2013 Guidelines.
Na temelju tih elemenata Komisija zaključuje da su poštovane odredbe smjernica za razdoblje 2007.–2013. u pogledu potpora za prijevremeno umirovljenje ili prestanak obavljanja poljoprivredne djelatnosti.
As regards the counterpart to be offered, the Commission notes, in the light of recitals 36, 37 and 38 that, in order to obtain aid, the beneficiary must abandon permanently all or part of his milk quota.
Potpore za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti
While point 144(f) indicates that the counterpart normally consists of the complete closure of a holding's capacity, it should be pointed out that in the case under review the partial closure of production capacity was provided for by the quota scheme under Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
Smjernicama za razdoblje 2007.–2013. utvrđeni su sljedeći relevantni uvjeti spojivosti:
In this context, partial closure may be considered a sufficient counterpart on the beneficiary's part.
potpora mora ispunjavati opći interes sektora (točka 144.(a)),
Furthermore, in this case the abandonment of quotas may be equated to the effective closure of an establishment.
u slučaju prekomjernog kapaciteta potpore moraju biti dio programa restrukturiranja s jasno utvrđenim ciljevima i rasporedom, zahtjevi se moraju prikupljati tijekom razdoblja od najdulje šest mjeseci, a do zatvaranja kapaciteta mora doći u roku od daljnjih dvanaest mjeseci (točke 144.(b) i (c)),
As regards the commitments to be made, the eligible applicant is required to submit a certificate attesting the permanent cessation of production and may not apply for any new quotas in future.
nijedna mjera potpore ne smije narušavati mehanizme zajedničke organizacije predmetnog tržišta, sustave potpora primjenjive na sektore koji podliježu ograničenjima proizvodnje ili kvotama, koje se ispituju od slučaja do slučaja (točka 144.(e)),
In the case of partial cessation, the declarations to be submitted to the purchaser from one year to another attest the effective reduction of production.
korisnik potpore mora ponuditi doprinos, koji se najčešće sastoji od konačne i neopozive odluke o rastavljanju ili konačnom zatvaranju predmetnog proizvodnog kapaciteta; to će dovesti do potpunog zatvaranja kapaciteta poljoprivrednog gospodarstva ili, u slučaju poduzetnika koji posjeduje više proizvodnih pogona, do zatvaranja određenog objekta; treba osigurati da korisnik preuzme čvrste obveze u pogledu konačne i neopozive naravi predmetnog zatvaranja te u pogledu činjenice da ni u kojem trenutku neće ponovno započeti s obavljanjem djelatnosti; te obveze ujedno moraju obvezivati sve naknadne stjecatelje predmetne proizvodne jedinice; (točka 144.(f)),
Consequently the counterpart criterion has been met.
jedino proizvođači koji su zaista obavljali djelatnost proizvodnje i jedino proizvodni kapaciteti koji su se zaista neprestano upotrebljavali tijekom pet posljednjih godina koje prethode njihovu zatvaranju mogu upotrebljavati programe zatvaranja kapaciteta (t.
As regards the eligibility criterion related to the practice of the activity and the use of the production capacity over the past five years before the closing of the capacity, the Commission notes, as indicated by the French authorities, that the beneficiaries must effectively produce and, thereby, use their quota in order to be eligible for the aid.
144.(g)),
While the decrees governing aid for the cessation of dairy production contain no reference to the five-year period referred to in point 144(g) of the Guidelines, compliance with this period is evidenced by the methods of calculating the aid itself, because, as indicated in recital 43, an individual reference quantity is set at an average of 20 % of the quantities allocated in the five marketing years preceding the application for aid for the cessation of dairy production, and this demonstrates the existence of production during that period.
prihvatljivi su jedino poduzetnici koji ispunjavaju minimalne obvezujuće norme (t.
Therefore the Commission considers that the criterion relating to the length of production has been met.
144.(i)),
As it is necessary to examine case-by-case aid applicable to sectors subject to production limits or quotas, the Commission further notes that the provisions of Regulations (EC) No 1788/2003 and (EC) No 1234/2007 contain no indication of a need to comply with the five-year requirement.
mora biti moguće isključiti mogućnost da se potpora isplaćuje za sanaciju ili restrukturiranje poduzetnika u teškoćama (t.
As regards compliance with standards, the explanations given by the French authorities provide sufficient evidence that the criterion has been met.
144.(j)),
With regard to the possibility to exclude aid from being paid to companies in difficulty, the Commission points out that the criteria listed in recital 41 correspond to those in the definition of a company in difficulty in points 10(c) and 11 of the Community Guidelines on State aid for rescuing and restructuring firms in difficulty of 2004, applicable at the time of awarding the aid in question.
sustav mora biti dostupan svim gospodarskim subjektima u predmetnom sektoru pod istim uvjetima (t.
Therefore the Commission considers that the criterion relating to the exclusion of companies in difficulty has been met.
144.(k)),
As regards accessibility of the scheme to all economic operators in the sector, the Commission finds that the only exclusions in the aid scheme for the cessation of dairy production concern producers infringing the applicable legislation, for example on the environment or upgrading to standards.
iznos potpore mora biti strogo ograničen na iznos potreban za nadoknadu gubitka vrijednosti imovine, plus financijski poticaj, koji je ograničen na 20 % te vrijednosti (t.
Since all those who comply with the legislation have access to the scheme, the Commission considers that the criterion relating to the general accessibility of the scheme has been met.
144.(l)),
As regards strictly limiting the aid to compensation for the loss of value of assets plus an incentive payment which may not exceed 20 % of the value of the assets, the Commission concludes that there is no overcompensation of the actual value of the quota in the light of the figures cited in recital 43 and, in particular, of the fact that one of the components of the individual quantities representing 20 % of those quantities is automatically excluded from the basis for calculating the aid.
sektor mora preuzeti najmanje polovinu troškova povezanih s potporama (t.
As regards meeting at least half of the costs by a contribution from the sector, the Commission notes, from the table in recital 21 and the explanations by the French authorities, that the aid is largely financed by the specific transfer of quotas without land, where it is the producers who contribute to the system by purchasing quotas.
144.(m)),
The ratio between the amounts derived from the specific transfer of quotas without land and those from other sources of financing, in particular, show that the specific transfer of quotas without land (in other words, producers) finances more than 50 % of the aid for the cessation of dairy production.
potpora se ne smije dodijeliti za stvaranje novih kapaciteta u predmetnom sektoru tijekom razdoblja od pet godina koje slijedi nakon prestanka programa zatvaranja kapaciteta (t.
Therefore the Commission concludes that the criterion related to meeting at least half of the costs by a contribution from the sector has been met.
144.(n)).
Finally, with regard to the ban on creating new capacities in the sector concerned for the five years following the termination of the capacity closure programme, the Commission notes that this criterion is irrelevant in the case under review, because the aid scheme for the cessation of dairy production does not aim at ensuring a net reduction in production capacity in the dairy sector at the national level but at restructuring production within the framework of the national quota, in accordance with Article 75 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.
Budući da na temelju točke 11. smjernica za razdoblje 2007.–2013. primjena članaka 107., 108. i 109.
CONCLUSION
UFEU-a na sektore obuhvaćene zajedničkim organizacijama tržišta podliježe odredbama uspostavljenima predmetnim uredbama, prvi uvjet čija se ispunjenost analizira bit će nepostojanje ometanja zajedničke organizacije tržištâ.
The Commission notes that the refunds referred to in recital 16 do not involve State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU.
Člankom 75.
Furthermore, the Commission notes that aid for the cessation of dairy production has been granted in compliance with the 2007-2013 Guidelines and that it may therefore be declared compatible with the internal market under Article 107(3)(c) TFEU despite having been unlawfully implemented in breach of Article 108(3) TFEU.
Uredbe (EZ) br. 1234/2007 utvrđeno je kako slijedi:
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
U cilju uspješnog restrukturiranja proizvodnje mlijeka ili poboljšanja okoliša države članice mogu, u skladu s podrobnim pravilima koje donesu uzimajući u obzir legitimne interese predmetnih strana:
Article 1
dodijeliti naknadu koja će se proizvođačima koji se obvežu da će trajno odustati od cjelokupne ili dijela proizvodnje mlijeka isplaćivati u jednom godišnjem obroku ili više njih i staviti individualne kvote koje se tako oslobode u nacionalnu pričuvu;
The refunds relating to the tax established by Article 25 of Law No 2005-1720 of 30 December 2005 for the benefit of the national organisation of agriculture and fisheries products (FranceAgriMer) do not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
na temelju objektivnih mjerila odrediti uvjete pod kojima proizvođačima, u zamjenu za plaćanje, na početku dvanaestomjesečnog razdoblja, nadležno tijelo ili ustanova koju imenuje to tijelo može dodijeliti individualne kvote koje su na kraju prethodnog dvanaestomjesečnog razdoblja bile trajno oslobođene od strane drugih proizvođača uz naknadu u jednom ili više godišnjih obroka koja je jednaka prethodno navedenom plaćanju;
Article 2
Budući da su tim člankom 75. precizno opisani mehanizmi svojstveni sustavu potpora za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti proizvodnje mlijeka koji se provodi u Francuskoj te da je njime državama članicama prepuštena sloboda da odaberu uvjete provedbe sustava potpore za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti, Komisija zaključuje da sustav potpora za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti proizvodnje mlijeka ne narušava zajedničku organizaciju tržišta i ne ometa njezino ispravno funkcioniranje.
Aid for the cessation of dairy production financed from the beginning of the 2006/2007 marketing year to the end of the 2011/2012 marketing year constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
U pogledu interesa koji potpora mora imati za sektor, u ovom slučaju nije moguće pozivati se na nepostojanje prekomjernih kapaciteta, kako pokazuje uvodna izjava 74., a potpora nije povezana s obvezama u pogledu zdravlja ili zaštite okoliša.
That aid is compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Međutim, ti kriteriji nisu jedini koji se mogu primjenjivati (njihovo je postojanje dovoljno za opravdanje interesa potpore, ali to ne znači da se ne mogu uzeti u obzir drugi kriteriji), a u ovom slučaju Komisija utvrđuje da su argumenti koje su iznijela francuska nadležna tijela valjani, ne samo zato što dodjela pomoći zaista omogućuje odvajanje proizvodnih mogućnosti, koje se ponovno distribuiraju u svrhu poboljšanja konkurentnosti poduzetnika u okviru sustava kvota nego i zato što upotrijebljeni mehanizam odgovara mehanizmu koji se primjenjuje u okviru predmetne zajedničke organizacije tržištâ.
Article 3
U pogledu postojanja programa restrukturiranja koji ima precizne ciljeve i raspored kada u sektoru postoje prekomjerni kapaciteti, Komisija utvrđuje da su utvrđeni kriteriji ispunjeni zbog sljedećih razloga:
This decision is addressed to the French Republic.
može se smatrati da u sektoru postoje prekomjerni kapaciteti: glavni je cilj sustava kvota za mlijeko predviđenog Uredbom (EZ) br. 1234/2007 (te prije toga Uredbom (EZ) br. 1788/2003) smanjenje neravnoteže između ponude i potražnje na predmetnom tržištu, kao i strukturnih viškova te na taj način postizanje bolje ravnoteže tržišta (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 36.

For the Commission

Member of the Commission
dodjela potpora za prestanak obavljanja djelatnosti proizvodnje mlijeka čini dio sustava kojim se želi provesti restrukturiranje proizvodnje na način da se poljoprivrednicima koji to žele omogući odlazak u mirovinu ponovnim stavljanjem na raspolaganje količina koje mogu proizvesti,
