If particular economic activities or operators are excluded, the Member State must demonstrate that exclusion is in all cases duly justified.
Če se izloči določene dejavnosti ali nosilce dejavnosti, mora država članica dokazati, da je izločitev v vseh primerih upravičena.
Spain has provided no such proof.
Španija ni priskrbela nobenega dokaza za to.
The aid must be limited to the amount strictly necessary to compensate for the disadvantage, which the Member State must quantify.
Pomoč se mora omejiti na znesek, ki je nujno potreben za nadomestitev škode, ki jo oceni država članica.
Spain has provided no information on this.
Španija ni priskrbela nobene informacije za to.
Therefore, these aids do not fulfil the conditions laid down by the above communication.
Potemtakem zadevna pomoč ne izpolnjuje pogojev, določenih v omenjenem sporočilu.
Spain, in its letter dated 2 April 2004, explained that the suspension of the market following a health alert was ordered by the Spanish administration on 3 July 2001 for reasons of food safety.
Španija je v svojem pismu z dne 2. aprila 2004 pojasnila, da so umik s trga zaradi zdravstvenega alarma za 3. julija 2001 iz varnostnih razlogov ustreznosti živil odredili organi španske oblasti.
This obliged producers to withdraw all olive pomace oil from the market and return it to processors to be refined again to remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and then rebottled and relabelled so it could be returned to the market.
To je zavezalo proizvajalce, da so iz trga umaknili olje iz oljčnih tropin in ga poslali v obrate za polnjenje steklenic, da ga tam ponovno prečistijo, iz njega izločijo policiklične aromatične ogljikovodike in ga ustekleničijo ter na novo etiketirajo, da bi ga lahko vrnili na tržišče.
The cost to the sector of withdrawing the oil, debottling it, refining it and relabelling it in order to put it back on the market was much higher than the aid granted.
Strošek industrijskega sektorja je bil zaradi umika olja, praznjenja steklenic, prečiščevanja, ponovnega polnjenja steklenic in etiketiranja za prodajo precej višji od zneska dodeljene pomoči.
The health alert was declared after various checks revealed the presence of a high content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in olive pomace oil, including benzopyrene, which, according to the World Health Organisation, is carcinogenic.
Zdravstveni alarm je bil razglašen po tem, ko so opravljene analize večkratnih preverjanj potrdile, da je v olju iz tropin visoka vsebnost policikličnih aromatičnih ogljikovodikov, med njimi benzopirena, ki je po mnenju Svetovne zdravstvene organizacije rakotvoren proizvod.
In the absence of specific legislation, the Office of the Prime Minister approved a Ministerial Order laying down limits for certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in olive pomace oil.
Zaradi pomanjkanja posebne zakonodaje na tem področju je Urad predsednika Vlade potrdil dekret ministrstva, ki določa mejne vrednosti za določene policiklične aromatične ogljikovodike za olivno olje iz oljčnih tropin.
As a general rule, the Commission considers that the responsibility for meeting the quality and safety requirements for oil laid down by Community and national legislation lies with the undertakings concerned.
Po splošnem pravilu Komisija ocenjuje, da so za izpolnitev zahtev, določenih v zakonodaji Skupnosti ali v državni zakonodaji, z namenom zagotoviti kakovost in zaupanje v olje, odgovorna prizadeta podjetja.
Losses arising from the need to refine olive pomace oil again in order to put it back on the market because it does not meet the legal requirements must be considered to be part of the normal entrepreneurial risk assumed by undertakings working in the sector.
Izgube, ki so odraz potrebe po ponovnem prečiščevanju olja iz oljčnih tropin, da bi ga vrnili na tržišče, ker ni izpolnjeval veljavnih legalnih zahtev, se upoštevajo kot del podjetniškega tveganja, ki ga morajo sprejeti podjetja prizadetega sektorja.
The Commission could, therefore, not normally consider the payment of aid to cover such losses as being in the common interest.
Komisija zato ni mogla, kot običajno, upoštevati tega, da se dodelitev pomoči za nadomestitev teh izgub izvede v skladu z družbenim interesom.
However in the present case, the Commission has taken into consideration the fact that until July 2001 no limit had been fixed by Community or national legislation for certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in olive pomace oil.
Kljub temu je v zadevnem primeru Komisija upoštevala dejstvo, da do julija 2001 ne v zakonodaji Skupnosti ne v državni zakonodaji niso bile določene mejne vrednosti za določene policiklične aromatične ogljkovodike v olju iz oljčnih tropin.
Under these circumstances, checks for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were not routinely undertaken as part of the normal checks carried out in the sector concerned.
V teh okoliščinah se preverjanja vsebnosti policikličnih aromatičnih ogljikovodikov niso izvajala rutinsko kot del običajnih preverjanj v prizadetem sektorju.
The fact that losses caused by withdrawing, debottling, refining, rebottling and relabelling the oil in order to put it back on the market were incurred by the majority of the undertakings working in the sector suggests that in this specific case the losses incurred fall outside the normal entrepreneurial risk.
Dejstvo, da so izgube, ki so odraz umika, praznjenja steklenic, prečiščevanja, ponovnega polnjenja steklenic in etiketiranja olja za prodajo, vplivale na večino podjetij tega sektorja, namiguje, da v zadevnem primeru povzročene izgube niso del običajnega podjetniškega tveganja.
An analogy can be made with point 11.4 of the Community Guidelines for State aid in agriculture, which states that the Commission authorises aid of up to 100 % of the actual cost of measures to combat animal and plant diseases as part of an appropriate programme at Community, national or regional level for the prevention, control or eradication of diseases.
Lahko se potegne vzporednico s točko 11.4 v smernicah Skupnosti za državne pomoči v kmetijskem sektorju. V skladu s tem Komisija odobri pomoč do 100 % dejanskih stroškov, namenjenih boju proti živalskim in rastlinskim boleznim, kot del ustreznega programa, ki ga izvaja na ravni Skupnosti, države ali regije in je namenjen preprečevanju, nadziranju ali iztrebljanju bolezni.
There must be a provision, whether laid down by law, regulation or administrative action, to the effect that the competent national authorities should be involved in dealing with the disease.
Za to bi moralo obstajati zakonsko in upravno urejeno določilo, ki bi določalo poseganje javnih organov oblasti, ki so pristojni za boj proti boleznim.
Only diseases which are a matter of concern for the public authorities and not measures for which farmers must reasonably take responsibility themselves may be the subject of aid measures.
Vzrok za dodelitev pomoči so lahko samo bolezni, ki so skrb javnih organov oblasti in ne ukrepi, za katere odgovornost bi lahko upravičeno prevzeli kmetje sami.
The objective of the aid may be preventive or compensatory measures or a combination of both.
Cilj pomoči je lahko preventiva, odškodnina ali kombinacija obojega.
In the case in question, no such national or Community provisions existed at the time the problem arose, but the swift adoption in July 2001 of rules setting limits for certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in olive pomace oil clearly demonstrated public concern regarding this problem.
V zadevnem primeru, ko se je pojavil problem, ni bilo nikakršnega državnega določila ali določila Skupnosti, vendar je hitro sprejetje pravil v juliju 2001, ki določajo mejne vrednosti za določene policiklične aromatične ogljikovodike v olju iz oljčnih tropin, nazorno pokazalo zaskrbljenost družbe zaradi tega problema.
In this context, the Commission authorised, on the basis of Article 87(3)(c) of the Treaty, aid for the destruction of feedingstuffs contaminated with dioxin (aid No NN 105/1998).
V tem smislu je Komisija na podlagi člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe odobrila pomoč za uničenje krme za živali, ki je bila kontaminirana z dioksinom (pomoč št. NN 105/1998).
This aid was limited to the cost of transporting and destroying contaminated citrus pellets and feedingstuffs in a manner that takes account of environmental and public health considerations.
Ta pomoč je bila namenjena stroškom prevoza in uničenja briketov iz kontaminiranih agrumov in krme za živali na način, ki bi upošteval okoljske in zdravstvene pomisleke.
Until that date, no upper limit had been fixed in Community legislation for the presence of dioxin in materials to be used for the preparation of feedingstuffs.
Do tega datuma v zakonodaji Skupnosti ni bila določena najvišja mejna vrednost za vsebnost dioksina v surovinah, ki se jih uporablja za pripravo živalske krme.
In the light of the above, the Commission considers that this aid facilitates the development of economic activities in the olive pomace oil sector.
Ob upoštevanju prej omenjenega Komisija ocenjuje, da zadevna pomoč olajša razvoj gospodarskih dejavnosti v sektorju, ki proizvaja olivno olje iz tropin.
In addition, in so far as the cost to the sector of withdrawing olive pomace oil from the market and returning it to processors for refining again to remove polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and then rebottling and relabelling for marketing was higher than the aid granted, the Commission takes the view that the granting of the aid will not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
Poleg tega vedno, ko je strošek industrijskega sektorja zaradi umika olivnega olja iz tropin iz trga in njegove vrnitve v obrate za polnjenje steklenic, z namenom, da ga ponovno prečistijo, iz njega izločijo policiklične aromatične ogljikovodike in ga ustekleničijo ter na novo etiketirajo za njegovo vrnitev na tržišče, višji od zneska dodeljene pomoči, Komisija meni, da dodelitev pomoči ne bi motila pogojev trgovinske izmenjave, kar bi bilo v nasprotju z družbenim interesom.
V. CONCLUSIONS
V. SKLEPI
The Commission finds that Spain has unlawfully implemented the aid in question inbreach of Article 88(3) of the Treaty.
Komisija je ugotovila, da je Španija nezakonito dodelila zadevno pomoč in kršila določila iz člena 88(3)Pogodbe.
Its granting was illegal, given that it was grantedbefore the Commission could decide on its compatibility with the common market.
Njena dodelitev je bila nezakonita, ker se je izvršila, preden se je Komisija izrekla o njeni skladnosti z določili skupnega trga.
However, the aid is compatible with the common market and is eligible for thederogation provided for in Article 87(3)(c) of the Treaty as a measure intended to facilitate the development of the sector,
Kljub temu je pomoč v skladu z določili skupnega trga in se lahko sklicujejo na izjemno okoliščino določeno v členu 87(3)(c) Pogodbe, kjer so ukrepi namenjeni razvoju sektorja–
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
SPREJELA NASLEDJO ODLOČBO:
The State aid Spain has implemented for olive pomace extracting, refining and bottling enterprises in the form of subsidies for interest on loans and for the cost of administering guarantees, provided for in the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Order of 14 November 2001 establishing a credit line for enterprises which extract, refine and bottle olive pomace oil, is compatible with the common market.
Državna pomoč, ki jo je Španija dodelila industriji stiskanja, prečiščevanja in stekleničenja olja iz tropin, v obliki subvencioniranja obresti za posojila in denarne podpore pri administraciji za garancije za ta posojila, določeno v Odredbi Ministrstva za kmetijstvo, ribištvo in prehrano z dne 14. novembra 2001, na podlagi katere je bila odobrena kreditna linija industriji stiskanja, prečiščevanja in stekleničenja olja iz oljčnih tropin, je v skladu z določili skupnega trga.

Legal basis of the aid
Pravna podlaga pomoči
According to the information in the Commission’s possession, the measures provided for by the Spanish authorities appear in the Contract relating to air routes serving the cities of Gerona and Madrid concluded on 26 March 2002 between the Generalitat de Catalunya (Autonomous Government of Catalonia), the Diputación de Girona (Gerona Regional Council), the Gerona Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the representative of Intermed (hereinafter referred to as the contract).
Glede na podatke, s katerimi razpolaga Komisija, so ukrepi, ki jih predvidevajo španske oblasti, predstavljeni v „Pogodbi o letalskih povezavah mest Gerone in Madrida“, ki je bila sklenjena 26. marca 2002 med Generalitat de Catalunya, Diputación de Girona, Trgovinsko in industrijsko zbornico Gerone ter predstavnikom Intermeda (v nadaljnjem besedilu „pogodba“).
Aims of the aid
Cilji pomoči
The aid is intended to promote the development of competitive, high-quality air transport on the Gerona–Madrid–Gerona route through the use of aircraft which meet appropriate conditions of comfort and reliability and to secure the proper level of profitability on this route.
Cilj pomoči je pospeševanje razvoja konkurenčnega in kakovostnega letalskega prevoza na progi Gerona–Madrid–Gerona z uporabo letal, ki ustrezajo prilagojenim pogojem udobja in zanesljivosti, kot tudi doseganje ustrezne donosnosti na tej povezavi.
Procedure to select the company to provide the service
Postopek izbora družbe ponudnice storitve
Given the lack of a scheduled service between the cities of Gerona and Madrid since no air carrier offered this service, the Autonomous Government of Catalonia contacted several national carriers as well as carriers in other Member States of the Community (Aerolíneas de Baleares (AeBal), Spanair S.A. (Spanair), Air Europa Líneas Aéreas (Air Europe), KLM UK Ld, Intermed, Air Catalunya S.A. (Air Catalunya), Ibertrans Aérea S.A. (Ibertrans) and Navegación y Servicios Canarios S.A. (Naysa)) individually by letter during the period from July to November 2001 to inform them of its initiative to encourage the establishment of this air link and to call on them to submit tenders or state that they were prepared to ensure this air link.
Ker med mestoma Gerona in Madrid ni bila vzpostavljena redna letalska povezava, saj nobeden od letalskih prevoznikov ni ponujal te storitve, je Avtonomna vlada Katalonije v obdobju julij–november 2001 z osebnim pismom začela navezovati stike z več nacionalnimi prevozniki, pa tudi s prevozniki drugih držav članic Skupnosti (Aerolíneas de Baleares (AeBal)), Spanair S.A. (Spanair), Air Europa Líneas Aéreas (Air Europa), KLM UK Limited, Intermed, Air Catalunya S.A. (Air Catalunya), Ibertrans Aérea S.A. (Ibertrans) in Navegación y Servicios Canarios S.A. (Naysa), da bi jih seznanila s svojo pobudo za pospeševanje vzpostavitve te letalske povezave in jih povabila, da predložijo svoje ponudbe ali izrazijo svojo pripravljenost zagotoviti to povezavo.
At the end of this process, the authorities of the Autonomous Government of Catalonia found that the only air carrier which had shown that it had the availability and capacity to ensure a regular air service and to fulfil the public service obligations inherent in it was Intermed and, consequently, the contract was concluded with this carrier.
Oblasti Avtonomne vlade Katalonije so na koncu tega postopka ugotovile, da je Intermed edini letalski prevoznik, ki je dokazal razpoložljivost ter sposobnost zagotoviti to redno letalsko povezavo in prevzeti obveznosti javne službe, ki so z njo neločljivo povezane, in zato je s tem prevoznikom sklenila pogodbo.
The Gerona–Madrid–Gerona air link
Letalska povezava Gerona–Madrid–Gerona
According to the information received from the Spanish authorities, the Gerona–Madrid–Gerona air link was provided, firstly, by means of a scheduled service operated by Intermed as of 15 April 2002 with a 48-seat ATR 42-300 aircraft and, secondly, by a charter service operated by the complainant in this case as of 3 April 2002 using an SA-227 aircraft.
Letalsko povezavo Gerona–Madrid–Gerona je na eni strani zagotavljal redni prevoz, ki ga je od 15. aprila 2002 nudila družba Intermed z letalom ATR 42-300 z 48 sedeži, in na drugi strani čarterski prevoz, ki ga je, po podatkih španskih oblasti, izvajal tožnik v tej zadevi od 3. aprila 2002 z letalom SA-227.
