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.
Okrem toho oznámi podrobné informácie o sumách pomoci a úrokoch, ktoré už príjemcovia vrátili.
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.
Článok 8
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.
Toto rozhodnutie je určené Rakúskej republike.
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.
V Bruseli 7. apríla 2016
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.
Za Komisiu
In addition, the Austrian authorities were invited to explain whether the prices of the relevant products are largely market driven.
člen Komisie
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.
Výzva na predloženie pripomienok v súlade s článkom 108 ods. 2 ZFEÚ, týkajúcich sa prípadu štátnej pomoci SA.15836, z 12. júna 2012, C(2012) 3760 v konečnom znení (Ú. v. EÚ C 301, 5.10.2012, s. 22).
This exemption applied since 1 January 1994 and therefore for the entire period of assessment.
Vec C-47/10 P Rakúska republika/Scheucher-Fleisch GmbH a iní, ECLI:EU:C:2011:698.
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.
Vec T-375/04 Scheucher-Fleisch GmbH a iní/Komisia Európskych spoločenstiev, ECLI:EU:T:2009:445.
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.
Rovnaký argumentačný postup je použitý v právnom stanovisku pripojenom k listu s informáciami z 26. februára 2015.
In addition to the revenue from the AMA levy, additional sources of financing existed.
Opatrenia AMA týkajúce sa značky kvality a bioznačky vykonávané od 26. septembra 2002 podľa zmenených interných pravidiel boli schválené 30. júna 2004 rozhodnutím Komisie vo veci NN 34A/2000 (pozri odôvodnenia 10 až 16).
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.
Ú. v. ES C 28, 1.2.2000, s. 2.
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].
Ú. v. ES C 252, 12.9.2001, s. 5.
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.
Ako sa uviedlo v odôvodnení 15, podľa schémy pomoci NN 34A/2000 boli reklamné opatrenia týkajúce sa bioznačky časovo obmedzené do 31. marca 2006 a opatrenia na podporu kvality bioznačky do 31. decembra 2008.
PERIOD 2002-2008
Pozri poznámku pod čiarou č. 1.
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).
Akt o podmienkach pristúpenia Nórskeho kráľovstva, Rakúskej republiky, Fínskej republiky a Švédskeho kráľovstva a o úpravách zmlúv, na ktorých je založená Európska únia, (Ú. v. ES C 241, 29.8.1994, s. 21, v znení úprav v Ú. v. ES L 1, 1.1.1995, s. 1).
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.

RECOVERY
List obsahuje hlavný dokument a prílohy k nemu.
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.
Tieto značky boli zobrazené v odôvodnení 13 rozhodnutia Komisie NN 34A/2000.
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].
Toto logo sa používalo aj v období 1999 – 2002.
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].
Táto značka sa používa v smerniciach výrobkov z roku 2000 (Richtlinien für Frischfleisch, Fleischerbetriebe, Fleischwaren, Frischeier, Putenfleisch, Milch und Milchprodukte, Obst, Gemüse und Speisekartoffeln, Speisefette, Speiseöle, Diverse Lebensmittel).
Following that case-law, Article 16 of Council Regulation (EU) 2015/1589 [113] (hereinafter Procedural Regulation) lays down that ‘where negative decisions are taken in respect of unlawful aid, the Commission shall decide that the Member State concerned shall take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary.’
Smernica Európskeho parlamentu a Rady 2000/13/ES z 20. marca 2000 o aproximácii právnych predpisov členských štátov týkajúcich sa označovania, prezentácie a reklamy potravín (Ú. v. ES L 109, 6.5.2000, s. 29).
According to Article 17 of the Procedural Regulation, the powers of the Commission to recover incompatible aid are subject to a limitation period of 10 years.
Nariadenie Rady (EHS) č. 2092/91 z 24. júna 1991 o ekologickej výrobe poľnohospodárskych výrobkov a príslušných označeniach poľnohospodárskych výrobkov a potravín (Ú. v. ES L 198, 22.7.1991, s. 1).
The limitation period begins on the day on which the unlawful aid was awarded to the beneficiary.
Nariadenie Rady (ES) č. 1257/1999 zo 17. mája 1999 o podpore rozvoja vidieka z Európskeho poľnohospodárskeho usmerňovacieho a záručného fondu (EPUZF) a ktorým sa menia a rušia niektoré nariadenia (Ú. v. ES L 160, 26.6.1999, s. 80).
Any action taken by the Commission with regard to the unlawful aid interrupts the limitation period.
Tieto normy sú opísané v odôvodnení 59 rozhodnutia Komisie NN 34A/2000.
The limitation period is suspended for as long as the decision of the Commission is the subject of proceedings before the ECJ.

The complaint which triggered the present procedure was received on 21 September 1999 (see recital 4) and the Commission registered the scheme as a non-notified aid in the year 2000 (see recital 8).
Z februára 1997.
Furthermore, the 2004 decision acknowledges the fact that the Commission has decided, for administrative reasons, to split the procedure (see recital 10) and assess the measures before and after the year 2003 separately.
Podľa rakúskych orgánov sa tento formulár používal do 31. decembra 2000.
This splitting of the procedure had been a request of the Austrian authorities dated from 8 March 2004.
Správa o činnosti AMA (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, strana 3.
The above cited actions (splitting of procedure acknowledged by 2004 decision) and letters (Austrian request of 8 March 2004) are interrupting events in the meaning of Article 17 Council Regulation (EU) 2015/1589.
Správa o činnosti AMA (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, strana 12.
This means that the Commission has the power to order recovery as of 1 January 1995, the date of Austria's accession to the European Union.
Správa o činnosti AMA (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, strana 35.
The Commission decision NN 34A/2000 was challenged before the General Court on 30 June 2004 and its ruling was appealed before the Court of Justice on 27 January 2010.
[…] – podlieha služobnému tajomstvu.
The judgment of the Court was pronounced on 27 October 2011 (see above recital 22).
Správa o činnosti AMA (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, strana 15.
According to Article 15 paragraph 2, third sentence of Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, the limitation period was therefore suspended between 30 June 2004 and 27 October 2011.
Oba príklady sú citované v správe o činnosti AMA (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, strana 17.
For the reasons stated above the 10 years limitation period for recovery with regard to the measures assessed in this decision has not expired.
Správa o činnosti AMA (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, strana 19.
The incompatible State aid specified at recital 374 above must therefore be recovered by the Austrian authorities.
Správa o činnosti AMA (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, strana 13.
Article 16(1) of the Procedural Regulation specifies that ‘where negative decisions are taken in cases of unlawful aid, the Commission shall decide that the Member State concerned shall take all necessary measures to recover the aid from the beneficiary’.
Správa o činnosti AMA (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1996, strana 26.
Article 16(3) of the Procedural Regulation specifies that ‘recovery shall be effected without delay and in accordance with the procedures under the national law of the Member State concerned, provided that they allow the immediate and effective execution of the Commission's decision.’
Správa o činnosti AMA (Tätigkeitsbericht) 1997, strana 3.
The means according to national law established by the Member States, by which they implement recovery decisions, should give full effect to the recovery decision.
„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.
It is therefore necessary that the national measures taken by Member States lead to an effective and immediate execution of the Commission decision.
Dass der ‚Geschmack der Natur‘ am Heimmarkt sogar Marktanteile zurückgewonnen hat, ist im Marktsegment Fruchtjoghurt klar abzulesen.
According to a settled jurisprudence, in the case of negative decisions for non-notified aid, particularly where a significant period of time has elapsed, the Commission may resort to approximate evaluations of the sums to be recovered [114].
So konnten 1997 von den heimischen Herstellern 15 % Marktanteil von ausländischen Anbietern zurückgewonnen werden“.
The Commission would like to point out that, according to the jurisprudence ‘no provision of Community law requires the Commission, when ordering the recovery of aid declared incompatible with the common market, to fix the exact amount of the aid to be recovered.
Podlieha služobnému tajomstvu.
It is sufficient for the Commission's decision to include information enabling the recipient to work out himself, without overmuch difficulty, that amount.’ [115]
Tamže.
Given the nature of some of the measures concerned (i.e. measures concerning indirect aid to a large number of beneficiaries) the Commission is not in a position to determine in the present decision the exact aid amount per beneficiary for each measure for which recovery has been ordered.
Tento príklad reklamy je uvedený na strane 10 správy o činnosti AMA (Tätigkeitsbericht) za rok 1999.
The Commission would therefore point out that the sums communicated by the Austrian authorities during the investigation period (see recitals 43-45) constitute the starting point for the calculation of the aids to be recovered from the respective beneficiaries.
Správa o činnosti AMA (Tätigkeitsbericht) 2000, strana 9.
The categories of incompatible aid, as well as the relevant periods have been identified in the decision.
Správa o činnosti AMA (Tätigkeitsbericht) 2000, strana 10.
Therefore, the Commission considers that, in the framework of the recovery procedure, a reasonable method of calculating the aid per beneficiary needs to be provided by the Austrian authorities, and communicated to the Commission, in a spirit of loyal cooperation with the Commission,
