DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE AID
PODROBEN OPIS DODELJEVANJA POMOČI
Title, scheme: aid scheme for olive pomace enterprises.
Naslov, program: program dodeljevanja pomoči industriji olja iz oljčnih tropin.
Budget: the maximum budget is estimated at EUR 1202024,21.
Proračun: Najvišji možni proračun se ocenjuje na 1202024,21 EUR.
Duration: one year.
Trajanje: eno leto.
Beneficiaries: olive pomace extracting, refining and bottling enterprises.
Upravičenci: industrija stiskanja, prečiščevanja in stekleničenja olja iz oljčnih tropin.
Objective of the measures: to finance the adjustment of production processes to the new specifications set out in the Order of the Office of the Prime Minister of 25 July 2001 laying down limits for certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in olive pomace oil [3] and to guarantee the normal operation of mills during the 2001/2002 marketing year.
Cilj ukrepov: financirati prilagoditev procesov industrijske proizvodnje novim zahtevam, ki so določene v Odredbi Urada predsednika Vlade z dne 25. julija 2001, kjer so za olje iz oljčnih tropin določene mejne vrednosti za določene policiklične aromatične ogljikovodike [3], da bi zagotovili nemoteno delovanje oljarn v tržnem letu 2001/2002.
Possible effect of the aid: distortion of competition by favouring certain olive pomace products and breach of the corresponding common market organisation.
Mogoči učinki ukrepov: izkrivljanje konkurence z zagotavljanjem prednosti za določene proizvajalce olja iz oljčnih tropin, in kršitev ustrezne skupne tržne ureditve.
Aid intensity, eligible costs, overlap with other schemes: interest-rate subsidy for loans and subsidies for guarantees for those loans.
Intenzivnost pomoči, upravičeni stroški, prekrivanje z drugimi programi: subvencionirana obrestna mera za posojila in subvencija za garancije za ta posojila.
The size of the loans varies according to the beneficiary.
Znesek posojil se spreminja glede na upravičenca.
The grounds for initiating the procedure are given below.
V nadaljevanju so podani razlogi, ki so privedli do sprožitve postopka.
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 [4] provides for loans totalling a maximum of ESP 5000 million (EUR 30.05 million) with an interest rate subsidised by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (hereafter referred to as MAFF), which can also subsidise guarantees for those loans.
Odredba 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 [4], določa posojilo v najvišjem skupnem znesku 5000 milijonov ESP (30050000 EUR) s subvencioniranjem obrestne mere s strani Ministrstva za kmetijstvo, ribištvo in prehrano (v nadaljevanju „MAPA“), ki obenem tudi zagotavlja subvencijo za jamstva za omenjena posojila.
The loans are intended to finance the adjustment of production processes to the new specifications set out in the Order of the Office of the Prime Minister of 25 July 2001 and to guarantee the normal operation of mills during the 2001/02 marketing year.
Posojila so namenjena financiranju prilagoditve industrijskih proizvodnih procesov novim zahtevam, določenim v Odredbi Urada predsednika Vlade z dne 25. julija 2001, in za zagotavljanje nemotenega delovanja oljarn v tržnem letu 2001/2002.
The maximum loan for each beneficiary corresponds to the recognised rights determined by the Olive oil Agency for MAFF.
Najvišji skupni zneski posojil na upravičenca ustrezajo priznanim pravicam, ki jih za MAPA določa njena Agencija za olivno olje.
In determining rights, account is taken of the accredited volume of olive oil stocks at all stages of the production process in each branch of the industry on 3 July 2001, the volume of oil delivered to bottling plants for commercial distribution from that date until the date of entry into force of the MAFF Order of 14 November 2001 and a maximum standard price of ESP 125 (EUR 0,761266) per kilogram of stocks.
Pri določanju pravic se upošteva količina razpoložljivih zalog olja v vseh fazah industrijske proizvodnje vseh industrijskih panog na dan 3. julija 2001, količina olja, dostavljenega polnilnicam za trgovinsko distribucijo od omenjenega datuma do začetka veljave Odredbe MAPA z dne 14. novembra 2001, in najvišja standardna cena, t.j. 125 ESP (0,761266 EUR) na kilogram zalog.
Beneficiaries must have adjusted or begun to adjust their production processes to the new specifications before the first deadline for the payment of interest and the production volume for the 2001/2002 marketing year must be similar to that for the previous three marketing years.
Upravičenci pomoči so morali prilagoditi ali začeti s prilagajanjem proizvodnih procesov novim zahtevam pred prvo zapadlostjo obresti in obseg proizvodnje za tržno leto 2001/2002 mora biti podoben trem predhodnim tržnim letom.
The maximum loans for the three branches are:
Najvišji zneski posojil za različne sektorje so sledeči:
EUR 22537953,91 for extracting enterprises,
za industrijo stiskanja olja: 22537953,91 EUR,
EUR 4507590,78 for refineries,
za rafinerije: 4507590,78 EUR,
EUR 3005060,52 for bottlers.
za industrijo stekleničenja: 3005060,52 EUR.
The Instituto de Crédito Oficial (ICO) (Official Credit Institute), in conjunction with financial institutions, offers loans on the following conditions:
Instituto de Crédito Oficial (ICO) (Inštitut za posojila), skupaj s finančnimi ustanovami ponuja celo vrsto posojil pod naslednjimi pogoji:
loans are for one year,
trajanje posojil je eno leto,
the interest rate is the ICO reference rate for one-year loans at the time the loan is granted,
obrestna mera je enaka referenčni meri ICO za enoletna posojila, ki velja v trenutku dodelitve posojila,
the margin of the financial institutions is 0,75 percentage points,
stopnja dobička finančnih ustanov znaša 0,75 odstotne točke,
the risk is covered by the financial institutions,
tveganje prevzamejo finančne ustanove,
the interest-rate subsidy provided by MAFF is of three percentage points, the beneficiaries having to pay a minimum of 1,5 %.
subvencionirana obrestna mera MAPA znaša tri odstotne točke, upravičenci morajo plačati najmanj 1,5 odstotka.
MAFF may also establish subsidies for guarantees provided, where appropriate, by the Sociedad Estatal de Caución Agraria (State Agricultural Guarantee Institute) where this is necessary for obtaining loans.
MAPA lahko obenem tudi omogoči subvencije za jamstva, ki jih zagotavlja la Sociedad Estatal de Caución Agraria (Državni institut za kmetijska jamstva), če je to potrebno za dodelitev posojila.
The subsidy for the guarantee is intended to cover the administration costs up to 1 % of the outstanding balance of the loan for which the guarantee is provided.
Znesek subvencije za jamstvo je namenjen plačilu administrativnih stroškov za znesek, ki ne presega 1 % salda zajamčenega posojila.
In initiating the procedure, the Commission took account of the following points.
Na začetku postopka je Komisija upoštevala pomisleke, ki so podani v nadaljevanju.
The interest-rate subsidy for the loans constitutes aid granted by the State to olive pomace extracting, refining and bottling enterprises.
Subvencionirana obrestna mera pri posojilih je pomoč, ki jo država dodeljuje industriji stiskanja prečiščevanja in stekleničenja olja iz oljčnih tropin.
In addition, certain enterprises also receive another form of aid granted by the State comprising a subsidy to cover part of the cost of administering the guarantees provided for the subsidised loans.
Poleg tega se lahko posamezna industrijska podjetja subvencionirajo tudi z drugo obliko državne pomoči, ki zagotavlja subvencijo kritja dela administrativnih stroškov za jamstvo subvencioniranih posojil.
The loans are intended in part to finance the adjustment of production processes to the new standards and specifications laid down in the Order of the Office of the Prime Minister of 25 July 2001.
Del posojila je namenjen financiranju prilagoditve proizvodnih procesov industrijskih podjetij novim normam in zahtevam, ki so določene v Odredbi Urada predsednika Vlade z dne 25. julija 2001.
However, the size of the subsidised loans and the aid are not linked to the cost of the adjustments to production processes.
Kljub temu znesek subvencioniranega posojila in znesek pomoči nista vezana na stroške prilagoditve proizvodnih procesov.
In fact, the maximum loan entitlement per beneficiary is that recognised by the Olive oil Agency of MAFF, based on the accredited volume of stocks of oil at all stages of processing for each industry on 3 July 2001 and the volume of oil delivered to bottling industries for commercial distribution.
Dejansko najvišji skupni znesek posojila na upravičenca ustreza že znanim pravicam, ki jih za MAPA določa Agencija za olivno olje in temelji na količini razpoložljivih zalog olja v vseh fazah industrijske proizvodnje vseh industrijskih panog na dan 3. julija 2001 in na količini olja, dostavljenega polnilnicam za trgovinsko distribucijo.
The Commission, at this stage, had no information to indicate that this aid was linked to investments related to eligible expenditure detailed in the Community Guidelines for State aid in the agriculture sector [5].
V tej fazi Komisija ni razpolagala z informacijami, ki bi kazale na to, da se je pomoč nanašala na naložbe, vezane na upravičene izdatke, ki so našteti v smernicah Skupnosti za državne pomoči v kmetijskem sektorju [5].
Therefore, on the basis of the information available, the Commission took the view that the planned aid in the form of interest-rate subsidies on loans and a subsidy to cover part of the cost of guarantees was State aid intended to improve the financial situation of producers but which in no way contributed to the development of the sector (point 3.5 of the Community Guidelines for State aid in the agriculture sector).
Tako je Komisija na podlagi razpoložljivih podatkov ugotovila, da je bila pomoč, določena v obliki subvencionirane obrestne mere posojila in subvencioniranje dela stroškov za jamstva državna pomoč, namenjena izboljšanju finančnega stanja proizvajalcev, vendar ni v nobenem pogledu prispevala k razvoju sektorja (točka 3.5 v smernicah Skupnosti za državne pomoči v kmetijskem sektorju).
Therefore, at that stage, any aid that might have been granted appeared to be operating aid, incompatible with the common market.
Tako bi se na tej stopnji vsaka pomoč, ki bi jo prejeli, izkazala za pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, ki ni v skladu z določili skupnega trga.
This aid has no lasting effect on the development of the sector concerned and its immediate effects disappear with the measure itself (see judgment of the Court of First Instance of 8 June 1995 in Case T-459/93, Siemens SA v Commission [6].
Ta pomoč nima nobenega dolgoročnega učinka na razvoj sektorja in njen neposredni učinek izgine z ukrepom samim (glej sodbo prvostopenjskega sodišča Evropske skupnosti z dne 8. junija 1995, primer T-459/93, Siemens S.A. proti Komisiji [6].
The direct consequence of these aid measures is to improve the production and marketing opportunities of the beneficiaries in relation to other operators not receiving comparable aid (both in the Member State concerned and in other Member States).
Neposredna posledica te pomoči je izboljšanje proizvodnih zmogljivosti in boljše trženje produktov s strani upravičencev v odnosu do drugih proizvajalcev (tako v omenjeni državi članici, kot tudi v drugih državah članicah), ki niso deležni podobne pomoči.
Furthermore, this aid for olive pomace extracting, refining and bottling enterprises is for a product, olive oil, that is subject to a common market organisation, in accordance with Regulation No 136/66/EEC of the Council of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organisation of the market in oils and fats [7], and there are limits on the extent to which Member States may intervene in the operation of such market organisations, which are the exclusive responsibility of the Community.
Poleg tega se pomoč industriji stiskanja, prečiščevanja in stekleničenja olja iz oljčnih tropin nanaša na proizvod, olivno olje, ki je odvisen od določil skupne tržne ureditve, v skladu z Uredbo Sveta št. 136/66/CEE z dne 22. septembra 1966, o vzpostavitvi skupne ureditve trga za olja in masti [7], ki zajema omejitve za poseganje držav članic v delovanje tega združenja, za kar je pristojna izključno Komisija.
The Court of Justice has consistently held (see, inter alia, the judgment of 26 June 1979 in Case 177/78, Pigs and Bacon Commission v Mc Carren and Company Limited [8] that common organisations of the market must be considered comprehensive and exhaustive systems which preclude the Member States from adopting derogations or measures which conflict with them.
Sodna praksa Sodišča (glej med drugimi tudi sodbo z dne 26. junija 1979, primer 177/78 [8] – Pigs and Bacon Commission proti McCarren and Company Limited) dosledno določa, da mora biti skupna tržna ureditev popoln in izčrpen sistem, ki bi državam članicam onemogočil, da bi sprejele ukrepe, ki so nasprotni sistemu ali mu škodujejo.
Therefore, it appeared at this stage that the aid must be considered to infringe the common organisation of the market and, therefore, Community rules.
Tako se je v tem trenutku zdelo, da se je ta pomoč morala obravnavati kot kršitev skupne tržne ureditve in posledično predpisov Skupnosti.
In the light of the above, the Commission took the view that the aid could be considered to be operating aid incompatible with the common market and that it did not appear to qualify for any of the exemptions provided for in Article 87(3) of the Treaty; it consequently decided to initiate the procedure provided for in Article 88(2) of the Treaty.
Ob upoštevanju tega je Komisija v začetni fazi postopka ocenila, da se analizirana pomoč lahko obravnava kot pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, ki ni v skladu z določili skupnega trga in se ne bi smela subvencionirati na podlagi nobene od izjemnih okoliščin, določenih v členu 87(3) Pogodbe; zato se je v skladu s tem odločila za uvedbo postopka, predvidenega v členu 88 (2) Pogodbe.
By letter dated 15 April 2002, Spain put forward the following arguments.
V pismu z dne 15. aprila 2002 je Španija podala naslednje utemeljitve.
On 3 July 2001, the Spanish Government, via the Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs, decided to prohibit the movement of all olive pomace oil on the Spanish market at all points along the food chain.
julija 2001 se je španska vlada v okviru Ministrstva za zdravje in zadeve potrošnikov odločila za prepoved prometa z vsemi pošiljkami olja iz oljčnih tropin pri različnih členih prehranjevalne verige verige na španskem tržišču.
The immobilisation of and the prohibition of sale to the public of olive oil was decided exclusively to protect the interests of consumers, since the various quality checks carried out during the previous few days by the different bodies responsible for ensuring compliance with health standards had revealed that at least a proportion of the olive pomace oil on the market contained certain compounds of the group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in concentrations that might present a risk to consumers.
Odločitev za umik iz prometa in prepoved javne prodaje olivnega olja je bila sprejeta izključno zato, da bi zavarovala interese potrošnikov, saj se je v prejšnjih dneh v različnih preverjanjih kakovosti, opravljenih s strani različnih organov, ki skrbijo za ustrezanje zdravstvenim standardom, pokazalo, da je bila vsaj v enem delu olja iz oljčnih tropin, ki je prisoten na tržišču, koncentracija omenjene sestavine iz skupine policikličnih aromatičnih ogljikovodikov tako visoka, da bi bila tvegana za potrošnike.
The Spanish Government, via the Office of the Prime Minister, therefore published the Order of 25 July 2001 laying down limits for certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the oils concerned and establishing standardised working procedures for the production of oil-pomace oil.
Zato je španska vlada v okviru Urada predsednika Vlade izdala Odredbo z dne 25. julija 2001, ki vzpostavlja za zadevna olja mejne vrednosti glede na določene policiklične aromatične ogljikovodike in določa tudi standardizirani delovni postopek, ki se ga morajo držati v procesu pridelave olja iz oljčnih tropin.
The stocks of pomace oil affected by the measure were estimated at 30000 tonnes stored at the 56 extraction plants active in Spain, 12000 tonnes at the seven refineries and another 8000 tonnes at Spain's 150 bottling plants.
Količine zalog olja iz oljčnih tropin, ki so jih prizadeli ukrepi, so bile ocenjene na 30000 ton, uskladiščene v 56-ih delujočih stiskalnicah v Španiji, 12000 ton v skladiščih rafinerij in ostalih 8000 ton v 150 španskih polnilnicah.
MAFF realised the great difficulty the 50000 tonnes immobilised right in the middle of the olive oil production period would cause, since with a harvest for the year expected to exceed one million tonnes, more than 80000 tonnes of pomace oil would be produced, and producers could find themselves at the beginning of 2002 with 130000 tonnes of pomace oil for which there would be scant possibility of finding a market.
MAPA je ocenila, da bi umik 50000 ton olivnega olja iz prometa ravno sredi obdobja proizvodnje, za sektor predstavljal veliko težavo, saj se za to leto ocenjuje, da bo letina presegla milijon ton, količina olja iz tropin, ki bi ga proizvedli, bi presegla 80000 ton in tako bi bilo v začetku leta 2002130000 ton olja iz tropin, za katerega bi bile le majhna možnost, da najde svoje tržišče.
By-products of oil production, pomace and olive pomace pastes (alperujos) are removed from Spanish oil mills by pomace oil extractors and, given the serious crisis, it is doubtful whether extractors would ship pomace and olive pomace pastes from mills to their own installations to produce pomace oil.
Stiskalnice olja uporabljajo extraktorje olja, da iz oljčnih tropin odstranijo stranske proizvode proizvodnje olja - tropine in pastozne mase iz tropin (alperujos) in zaradi omenjene krize je vprašljivo, če bi stiskalnice nadaljevale z odvažanjem tropin in pastozne mase iz tropin iz oljarn v svoje obrate, da bi iz njih proizvedle olje.
This would have caused an environmental disaster of incalculable proportions because oil mills are not equipped for the indefinite storage of by-products nor for their decontamination.
To bi povzročilo okoljsko katastrofo neizmernih razsežnosti, saj oljarne niso opremljene ne za neomejeno skladiščenje stranskih proizvodov niti za njihovo dekontaminacijo.
The removal of by-products from oil mills by pomace oil extractors totally solves the environmental problems caused by the olive oil production process.
Oljarne z odstranjevanjem stranskih proizvodov z extraktorji v celoti rešijo okoljske probleme, ki izvirajo iz procesa proizvodnje olivnega olja.
Similarly, the pomace oil extraction — refining — bottling — distribution chain plays a decisive role in the economic activity of the sector (10 % of Spanish final agricultural production).
Ravno tako veriga stiskanje – prečiščevanje – stekleničenje – distribucija olja iz oljčnih tropin igra odločilno vlogo v gospodarski dejavnosti sektorja (10 % končne kmetijske proizvodnje Španije).
If production in the olive oil food chain were to stop, it would be impossible to finance the new marketing year, thus paralysing the sector, because payment obligations arising from the financing of the previous marketing year were not all met and the financial institutions were therefore unwilling to finance the new marketing year.
Če bi se ustavila proizvodnja in prehranjevalna veriga olivnega olja, bi onemogočila financiranje novega tržnega leta, s tem ohromila sektor ker se plačilne obveznosti, ki izvirajo iz prejšnjega tržnega leta, ne bi izplačale v celoti, kar bi povzročilo, da finančne ustanove ne bi bile pripravljene financirati novega tržnega leta.
The Government's aim was to help those undertakings deprived of revenue from their usual sales by the health alert to make payments relating to the previous marketing year and so regain creditworthiness with lending bodies before the start of the new marketing year, as well as to encourage production processes that present a full health guarantee and restore consumer confidence.
Cilj Vlade je bil pomagati tistim podjetjem, katerih prejemki običajne prodaje so se zaradi zdravstvenega alarma zmanjšali, da bi ta lahko izvršila plačila, ki se nanašajo na prejšnje tržno leto, in tako pri posojilnih ustanovah spet postanejo kreditno sposobna pred prihodnjim tržnim letom in s tem bi pospešili proizvodne procese, ki vključujejo popolno jamstvo glede zdravstvene neoporečnosti ter si ponovno pridobili zaupanje potrošnikov.
