Section 22(1) of the MFG authorises the German Federal States (hereinafter: ‘Länder’) to impose a milk levy on dairies based on the quantities of delivered milk.
Pravna osnova
According to the information made available by Germany, nine (out of sixteen) German Länder made use of this authorisation, i.e. Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Hessen, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Thuringia.
MFG je savezni zakon koji je stupio na snagu 1952. i otad je nekoliko puta izmijenjen [5].
The levies imposed by the Länder amount to up to EUR 0,0015 per kg of milk.
To je zakon na kojem se temelje predmetne mjere, a njegova je valjanost vremenski neograničena.
Germany has demonstrated that the milk levy is not applicable to imports.
Člankom 22. stavkom 1.
By contrast, exports may be subject to the milk levy.
MFG-a njemačke savezne pokrajine (dalje u tekstu: „savezne pokrajine”) ovlašćuju se da mljekarama uvedu pristojbu za mlijeko na temelju količine isporučenog mlijeka.
Section 22(2) of the MFG provides that the revenues obtained from the milk levy may be used solely for:
U skladu s informacijama koje je dostavila Njemačka devet (od šesnaest) njemačkih saveznih pokrajina iskoristilo je tu ovlast, a to su Baden-Württemberg, Bavarska, Brandenburg, Hessen, Donja Saska, Sjeverna Rajna-Vestfalija, Porajnje-Falačka, Saarland i Tiringija.
improving and sustaining quality on the basis of certain implementing provisions;
Pristojbe koje su uvele savezne pokrajine iznose do 0,0015 EUR po kg mlijeka.
improving hygiene during milking and the delivery, processing and distribution of milk and milk products;
Njemačka je dokazala da pristojba za mlijeko nije primjenjiva na uvoz.
milk yield recording;
S druge strane, izvoz može podlijegati pristojbi za mlijeko.
advice to operators on matters relating to the dairy industry and ongoing training of young employees;
U članku 22. stavku 2.
advertising aimed at increasing the consumption of milk and milk products;
MFG-a predviđeno je da se sredstva dobivena iz pristojbe za mlijeko upotrebljavaju isključivo u sljedeće svrhe:
performance of the tasks conferred by the MFG.
poboljšanje i održavanje kvalitete na temelju određenih provedbenih odredaba;
Section 22(2a) of the MFG provides that, by derogation from paragraph 2, the revenues generated pursuant to paragraph 1 may also be used to:
poboljšanje higijenskih uvjeta pri prikupljanju, dostavi, preradi te prodaji mlijeka i mliječnih proizvoda;
reduce increased structural collection costs in respect of the supply of milk and cream from the producer to the dairy.
kontrole mliječnosti;
reduce increased transport costs in respect of the supply of milk between dairies where such supply is necessary to ensure the supply of drinking milk to the recipient dairy's sales area, and
savjetovanje subjekata u pogledu mljekarstva i stalno daljnje osposobljavanje novih zaposlenika;
improve quality regarding the central distribution of milk products.
oglašavanje radi povećanja potrošnje mlijeka i mliječnih proizvoda;
Section 22(4) of the MFG provides that contributions and fees paid by dairies or their associations to establishments in the dairy industry for the purposes set out in paragraph 2 may be offset in full or in part by the revenues generated by the milk levy.
ispunjavanje zadaća dodijeljenih u skladu s MFG-om.
Whilst the MFG sets the framework, it is the implementing regulations issued by the Länder on the basis of the MFG that provide the actual legal basis for the measures in question.
U članku 22. stavku 2.a MFG-a predviđeno je da se, odstupajući od stavka 2., sredstva dobivena u skladu sa stavkom 1. mogu upotrijebiti i u sljedeće svrhe:
Financing
smanjenje strukturno uvjetovanih povećanih troškova prikupljanja pri isporuci mlijeka i vrhnja od proizvođača do mljekare;
By letter of 13 January 2017, the German authorities confirmed that the measures referred to in this decision were financed exclusively from the milk levy and that no additional funds from Länder budgets were used.
smanjenje povećanih troškova prijevoza mlijeka među mljekarama ako je isporuka potrebna radi osiguranja opskrbe mlijekom za piće na prodajnom području mljekara kojima se vrši isporuka i
Provision of technical support in the agricultural sector
poboljšanje kvalitete pri centraliziranoj prodaji mliječnih proizvoda.
Between 2001 and 2006, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Hessen, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Thuringia granted financial support for measures aimed at the provision of technical support in the agricultural sector (sub-measures BY 3, BY 10, BW 4, BB 1, BB 3, HE 2, HE 3, HE 9, NI 5, NI 6, NI 7, NW 4, NW 5, NW 6, RP 1, RP 5, SL 2, SL 5, TH 3, TH 4, TH 9 and TH 10).
U članku 22. stavku 4.
From 2007, Rhineland-Palatinate granted financial support for one measure aimed at the provision of technical support in the agricultural sector (RP 2).
MFG-a predviđeno je da se doprinosi i naknade koje mljekare ili udruženja mljekara plaćaju mljekarskim institucijama u svrhe navedene u stavku 2. dijelom ili u cijelosti prebijaju sredstvima od pristojbe za mlijeko.
Between 2001 and 2011, the total budgetary resources provided (all Länder combined) amounted to a total of EUR 23,7 million.
Iako se MFG-om utvrđuje okvir, provedbene uredbe koje donose savezne pokrajine na temelju MFG-a služe kao stvarna pravna osnova za predmetne mjere.
The financial assistance is provided for general information measures which benefit all operators in the dairy sector.
Financiranje
These measures are aimed at the use of milk and dairy products in general, are limited to providing information about the objective characteristics of milk, do not include subjective claims about the benefits of certain products of one or more companies and do not constitute advertising.
Dopisom od 13. siječnja 2017. njemačka tijela potvrdila su da su mjere iz ove odluke financirane isključivo iz pristojbe za mlijeko i da nisu upotrijebljena dodatna financijska sredstva iz proračuna saveznih pokrajina.
Only general measures that equally benefit all producers in the milk sector are financed.
Pružanje tehničke podrške u poljoprivrednom sektoru
Individual producers or the origin of the milk are not named.
Od 2001. do 2006.
No direct payments are made to processing and marketing companies (with the exception of measure RP 2).
Baden-Württemberg, Bavarska, Brandenburg, Hessen, Donja Saska, Sjeverna Rajna-Vestfalija, Porajnje-Falačka, Saarland i Tiringija dodijelili su financijsku potporu za mjere namijenjene pružanju tehničke podrške u poljoprivrednom sektoru (podmjere BY 3, BY 10, BW 4, BB 1, BB 3, HE 2, HE 3, HE 9, NI 5, NI 6, NI 7, NW 4, NW 5, NW 6, RP 1, RP 5, SL 2, SL 5, TH 3, TH 4, TH 9 i TH 10).
Aid intensity of the measures is up to 100 % of eligible costs, except where otherwise indicated.
Od 2007.
Technical support in the period 2001-2006
Porajnje-Falačka dodijelilo je financijsku potporu za jednu mjeru usmjerenu na pružanje tehničke podrške u poljoprivrednom sektoru (RP 2).
Bavaria granted financial support for the collection of general factual and technical information regarding milk production as well as for the publication and provision of general information on dairy topics (for example, milk production on farms).
Od 2001. do 2011. ukupna osigurana proračunska sredstva (za sve savezne pokrajine) iznosila su 23,7 milijuna EUR.
Costs associated with the dissemination of scientific knowledge in a generally comprehensible manner (through publications and presentations) and the preparation of factual information on quality systems, which are made available to dairy farmers in Bavaria and the interested public, were also subsidised.
Financijska pomoć pruža se za opće mjere informiranja koje koriste svim subjektima u sektoru mlijeka i mliječnih proizvoda.
The measures were carried out by the Association of Dairy Producers (Verband der Milcherzeuger e.V. — VMB).
Te su mjere usmjerene na opću upotrebu mlijeka i mliječnih proizvoda, ograničene su na pružanje informacija o objektivnim svojstvima mlijeka, ne uključuju subjektivne tvrdnje o koristima od određenih proizvoda jednog društva ili više društava i ne smatraju se oglašavanjem.
In its communication of 20 September 2013 [6], Germany argued that, upon further review, the measure BY 3 did not constitute State aid, since it contained no specific benefits for individual companies.
Financiraju se samo opće mjere koje jednako koriste svim proizvođačima u sektoru mlijeka.
Even if it were considered a form of aid, the existing aid is protected under grandfathering.
Pojedinačni proizvođači ili podrijetlo mlijeka nisu imenovani.
In the alternative, it was argued that the aid was compatible with the internal market.
Ne izvršavaju se izravna plaćanja društvima za preradu i stavljanje na tržište (uz izuzetak mjere RP 2).
Moreover, the measures concerned were compatible with the internal market regardless of the evidence that the funds were used for the dissemination of new methods.
Intenzitet potpore mjera iznosi do 100 % prihvatljivih troškova, osim ako je drukčije navedeno.
Article 15(2)(e) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 [7] and the 2007-2013 Guidelines [8] waive this requirement (dissemination of new methodologies).
Tehnička podrška u razdoblju 2001.–2006.
Instead, the decisive factor is disseminating scientific findings.
Bavarska je dodijelila financijsku potporu za prikupljanje općih činjeničnih i tehničkih informacija o proizvodnji mlijeka, kao i za objavu i pružanje općih informacija o temama povezanima s mlijekom i mliječnim proizvodima (na primjer proizvodnja mlijeka na poljoprivrednim gospodarstvima).
This is also applicable to the 2000-2006 period, since no circumstances that would have warranted more stringent criteria existed at that time.
Subvencionirani su i troškovi povezani sa širenjem znanstvenih saznanja na opće razumljiv način (publikacijama i prezentacijama) i sastavljanjem činjeničnih informacija o sustavima kvalitete koje se stavljaju na raspolaganje proizvođačima mlijeka u Bavarskoj i zainteresiranoj javnosti.
Germany argued that the measure was not confined to a particular group, but that the whole dairy sector was supported in a general way and no more than EUR 100000 was spent per beneficiary within three years.
Te je mjere provelo Udruženje proizvođača mlijeka (Verband der Milcherzeuger e.V. – VMB).
According to the German authorities, the beneficiaries of this measure were ‘farmers, producer groups, the general public and SMEs’.
U svojem dopisu od 20. rujna 2013.
According to the communication issued by German authorities on 27 February 2015, the annual expenditure on operations for measures BY 3 and BY 10 for the period 2001-2006 was in the range of EUR 471986-EUR 518057.
[6] Njemačka je tvrdila da mjera BY 3, nakon dodatnog preispitivanja, ne čini državnu potporu jer nije uključivala posebne koristi za pojedinačna društva.
Considering the number of milk producers and dairy plants (47287-56755) over the same period, a yearly amount of between EUR 9,13 and EUR 10,46 was spent per beneficiary (milk suppliers and dairies).
Čak i da je se smatra oblikom potpore, zatečena potpora zaštićena je na temelju stečenih prava.
Bavaria granted the Milchwirtschaftliche Untersuchungs- und Versuchsanstalt (MUVA) Kempten financial support for the exchange between different actors (research institutes and authorities) of information related to milk as a raw material.
U slučaju da to nije tako, tvrdilo se da je potpora spojiva s unutarnjim tržištem.
In its communication of 20 September 2013, Germany argued [9] that measure BY 10 did not constitute State aid, since it was not aimed at a transfer of information from MUVA to milk producers or dairy plants.
Osim toga, predmetne mjere bile su spojive s unutarnjim tržištem bez obzira na dokaze da su sredstva upotrijebljena za širenje novih metoda.
However, even if it were considered a form of aid, the existing aid was protected under grandfathering.
Člankom 15. stavkom 2. točkom (e) Uredbe Komisije (EZ) br. 1857/2006 [7] i Smjernicama 2007.–2013.
In the same communication [10], Germany argued that the ‘beneficiaries’ of the measure were predominantly the authorities.
[8] taj se zahtjev ukida (širenje novih metodologija).
In its comments dated 27 February 2015, Germany estimated the total annual expenditure related to measures BY 3 and BY 10 at EUR 471986-518057 (see paragraph 37).
Umjesto toga, odlučni je čimbenik širenje znanstvenih saznanja.
Baden-Württemberg granted financial support for general public relations activities and consumer information related to milk and milk products.
To je primjenjivo i na razdoblje 2000.–2006. jer u to vrijeme nisu postojale okolnosti koje bi opravdale strože kriterije.
This measure referred to the following, among others:
Njemačka je tvrdila da mjera nije ograničena na pojedinu skupinu, nego cijeli sektor mlijeka i mliječnih proizvoda općenito dobiva potporu, a po korisniku u roku od tri godine nije potrošeno više od 100000 EUR.
consumer information on the nutritional value and the general properties of dairy products;
Njemačka tijela tvrde da su korisnici te mjere bili „poljoprivrednici, skupine proizvođača, opća javnost i MSP-ovi”.
general information on labelling rules or quality criteria of milk and milk products;
U skladu s dopisom njemačkih tijela od 27. veljače 2015. godišnji izdatak na operacije u okviru mjera BY 3 i BY 10 za razdoblje 2001.–2006. iznosio je od 471986 EUR do 518057 EUR.
provision of speakers or information stands with regard to the above mentioned topics for consumer events (e.g. International Day of Milk);
Kad se uzme u obzir broj proizvođača mlijeka i mljekarâ (47287–56755) tijekom istog razdoblja, po korisniku (dobavljači mlijeka i mljekare) potrošen je godišnji iznos od 9,13 EUR do 10,46 EUR.
running or participating in training and scientific conferences on the subject of dietary milk and dairy products;
Bavarska je Mljekarskom institutu za istraživanja i pokuse (Milchwirtschaftliche Untersuchungs- und Versuchsanstalt – MUVA) u Kemptenu dodijelila financijsku potporu za razmjenu informacija o mlijeku kao sirovini između različitih dionika (istraživačkih instituta i tijela).
organisation of events and the comprehensive presentation of the dairy industry at fairs (Landwirtschaftliches Hauptfest).
U svojem dopisu od 20. rujna 2013.
The measure was coordinated by the Milchwirtschaftlicher Verein Baden-Württemberg (MVBW).
Njemačka je tvrdila [9] da mjera BY 10 ne čini državnu potporu jer nije namijenjena prijenosu informacija iz MUVA-e proizvođačima mlijeka ili mljekarama.
The technical implementation of the measure was carried out by the MVBW itself or by third parties commissioned by it.
Međutim, čak i da je se smatra oblikom potpore, zatečena potpora zaštićena je na temelju stečenih prava.
In its comments dated 20 September 2013 [11], Germany upheld its view that the measure did not constitute State aid because no individual undertakings or branches of production were favoured.
U istom dopisu [10] Njemačka je tvrdila da su uglavnom tijela „korisnici” mjere.
In the alternative, it was argued [12] that the measures materially complied with the requirements of the Community Guidelines applicable at the time, and could be considered fundamentally as a form of provision of technical assistance in accordance with point 14.1 of the Community Guidelines for State aid in the agriculture sector [13] (hereinafter: the ‘2000-2006 Guidelines’).
(41) U svojim primjedbama od 27. veljače 2015.
The measures serve the general and wide dissemination of current scientific knowledge of the properties of milk and dairy products.
Njemačka je procijenila ukupni godišnji izdatak povezan s mjerama BY 3 i BY 10 na iznos od 471986 do 518057 EUR (vidjeti točku 37.).
According to Germany, the ‘Allgemeine Öffentlichkeitsarbeit’ (general public relations activities) measures were not limited to a particular group, but supported the entire dairy sector in a general manner.
Baden-Württemberg dodijelio je financijsku potporu za aktivnosti odnosa s javnošću i informiranje potrošača o mlijeku i mliječnim proizvodima.
Thus the conditions indicated in point 14.2 of the Guidelines have been observed.
Ta se mjera, među ostalim, odnosila na sljedeće:
Point 14.3 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines stated that State aid may cover up to 100 % of the costs.
informiranje potrošača o hranjivoj vrijednosti i općim svojstvima mliječnih proizvoda;
The level of aid was lower than the limit of EUR 100000 per beneficiary for a three-year period laid down in point 14.3.
opće informacije o pravilima označivanja ili kriterijima kvalitete mlijeka i mliječnih proizvoda;
Brandenburg sponsored training and education costs under the measure ‘Improving Hygiene’.
osiguranje predavača ili štandova s informacijama o prethodno navedenim temama za događanja koja posjećuju potrošači (npr.
Areas of focus included animal health, improvement of milk hygiene and the quality of raw milk as well as analysis of performance issues.
Svjetski dan mlijeka);
The measure was implemented by the Landeskontrollverband Brandenburg (LKVB).
održavanje osposobljavanja i znanstvenih konferencija na temu mlijeka i mliječnih proizvoda u prehrani te sudjelovanje u njima;
The maximum support rate did not exceed 60 % of eligible costs.
organizaciju događanja i sveobuhvatno predstavljanje mljekarske industrije na sajmovima (Landwirtschaftliches Hauptfest).
In its communication of 20 September 2013, Germany argued [14] that the measure ‘Verbesserung der Hygiene’ (Improving Hygiene) for the period 2001-2006 was compatible with the internal market.
Mjeru je koordiniralo udruženje Milchwirtschaftlicher Verein Baden-Württemberg (MVBW).
The consultancy services on offer were not limited to a particular group, but were made available to all milk producers in Brandenburg.
Za tehničku provedbu mjere bio je zadužen sam MVBW ili treće osobe koje je MVBW angažirao.
Individual businesses were not favoured.
U svojim primjedbama od 20. rujna 2013.
The measure, it was argued, corresponded to the third indent of point 13.2 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines, i.e. the costs of training personnel to apply quality assurance systems.
[11] Njemačka je zadržala svoj stav da mjera ne čini državnu potporu jer se ne daje prednost nijednom pojedinom poduzetniku ili grani proizvodnje.
In their communication of 27 February 2015, the German authorities confirmed that, in principle, all milk producers in the federal state had access to the consultancy services (complex and special consultancy) in question.
U slučaju da to nije tako, tvrdilo se [12] da su mjere bitno usklađene sa zahtjevima iz Smjernica Zajednice koje su bile primjenjive u to vrijeme te bi ih se u osnovi moglo smatrati oblikom pružanja tehničke pomoći u skladu s točkom 14.1.
Germany argued that the grants provided for part funding were fixed amounts of EUR 161,19 per farm in case of complex consultancy or EUR 144,62 per farm in case of special consultancy.
Smjernica Zajednice za državne potpore u sektoru poljoprivrede [13] (dalje u tekstu: „Smjernice 2000. – 2006.”).
According to the German authorities, the specified values were calculated for the year 2006, but other years' values were of a similar order.
Njemačka smatra da mjere koje se odnose na aktivnosti odnosa s javnošću (njem.
Germany also claimed that the final beneficiaries (dairy plants & milk producers) were SMEs.
Allgemeine Öffentlichkeitsarbeit) nisu bile ograničene na pojedinu skupinu, nego se njima općenito podupirao cijeli sektor mlijeka i mliječnih proizvoda.
By the end of 2007, Brandenburg had funded the provision of information on economic issues and the dissemination of newly acquired information and knowledge in industry issues related to the Milk Law, dairy policy, milk production and milk quality, animal feeding and husbandry, promotion, protection from animal diseases, etc.
Stoga su ispunjeni uvjeti navedeni u točki 14.2.
No advice or training was provided to individual persons.
Smjernica.
The measure was delegated to the Landesvereinigung der Milchwirtschaft Brandenburg-Berlin e.
U točki 14.3.
V.
Smjernica 2000. – 2006. navedeno je da državna potpora može pokrivati do 100 % troškova.
(LVMB) and the Landesbauernverband Brandenburg e.V.
Razina potpore bila je manja od ograničenja od 100000 EUR po korisniku za razdoblje od tri godine utvrđenog u točki 14.3.
(LBV).
Brandenburg je sponzorirao troškove osposobljavanja i obrazovanja u okviru mjere „Poboljšanje higijenskih uvjeta”.
The purpose of the measure was to improve the efficiency and professionalism of agriculture in the Community, thus contributing to the long-term economic viability of the sector.
Najviša stopa potpore nije premašila 60 % prihvatljivih troškova.
State-wide milking and quality competitions organised by the LVMB were carried out in accordance with the fourth indent of point 14.1 as ‘Veranstaltung von Wettbewerben’ (organisation of competitions).
U svojem dopisu od 20. rujna 2013.
In its comments dated 27 February 2015, Germany argued that the Brandenburg companies that won competitions at the International Green Week (IGW) were distinguished and thus became known to a larger share of the general public.
Njemačka je tvrdila [14] da je mjera „Verbesserung der Hygiene” (poboljšanje higijenskih uvjeta) za razdoblje 2001.–2006. spojiva s unutarnjim tržištem.
LBV organised consulting services through their milk consultants, available for all stakeholders of the dairy industry, within the framework of the project ‘Milcherzeugerberatung’ (Milk producer consultancy).
Nije se dala prednost pojedinim poduzećima.
Funding was provided as co-financing from the milk levies, as part of the project funding.
Tvrdilo se da mjera odgovara točki 13.2. trećoj alineji Smjernica 2000.–2006., tj. troškovima osposobljavanja osoblja za primjenu sustavâ osiguranja kvalitete.
According to the documents submitted, LBV received a grant from the regional government amounting to EUR 20000 for this purpose in 2006.
Njemačka tijela u svojem su dopisu od 27. veljače 2015. potvrdila da su, u načelu, svi proizvođači mlijeka u toj saveznoj pokrajini imali pristup predmetnim savjetodavnim uslugama (složeno i posebno savjetovanje).
According to the German authorities, the procedures in previous years were similar.
Njemačka je tvrdila da su bespovratna sredstva dodijeljena za djelomično financiranje imala fiksni iznos od 161,19 EUR po poljoprivrednom gospodarstvu u slučaju složenog savjetovanja i 144,62 EUR po poljoprivrednom gospodarstvu u slučaju posebnog savjetovanja.
State aid was not restricted to selected groups.
Stoga gornje ograničenje od 100000 EUR po društvu za razdoblje od tri godine nije moglo biti premašeno.
All persons concerned in the relevant sector of the milk industry had an equal opportunity to participate in the professional competitions.
Njemačka tijela navode da su navedene vrijednosti izračunane za 2006., ali vrijednosti za druge godine slijedile su sličan red.
Therefore, the conditions laid down in point 14.2 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines were satisfied.
Njemačka je tvrdila i da su krajnji korisnici (mljekare i proizvođači mlijeka) bili MSP-ovi.
Hessen granted financial support to the Landesvereinigung für Milch und Milcherzeugnisse Hessen e.V.
Do kraja 2007.
(LVMH) for the measure ‘Fortbildung für Erzeuger durch das Innovationsteam’ (Training for Producers by the Innovation Team).
Brandenburg je financirao pružanje informacija o gospodarskim pitanjima te širenje novostečenih informacija i znanja o pitanjima industrije povezanima sa Zakonom o mlijeku, politikom u području mlijeka i mliječnih proizvoda, proizvodnjom i kvalitetom mlijeka, hranjenjem i uzgojem životinja, promidžbom, zaštitom od životinjskih bolesti itd.
Under this measure, the innovation team of LVMH prepared scientific information in the context of specialist articles and training.
Pojedincima nije osigurano nikakvo savjetovanje ili osposobljavanje.
These included the collection and bundling of information and sharing of knowledge through scientific articles as well as training for farmers and farm workers.
U svojim primjedbama od 20. rujna 2013.
Germany claimed that the effects on competition were low [17].
[15] Njemačka je tvrdila da je prethodno navedena mjera spojiva s unutarnjim tržištem.
