The Italian authorities do not agree with the method used for calculating the aid and the argument put forward by the Commission in point 27 of the letter initiating the procedure.
Italijanski organi se ne strinjajo z načinom izračuna višine pomoči in mnenjem Komisije iz točke 27 dopisa o sprožitvi postopka.
As regards the financing of investments remaining on the ranking list from funds made available under the RDP for the Region of Veneto for 2000-06 (15 undertakings remaining on the list have submitted applications under the RDP, see point 32), the competent authorities have affirmed that they will be eligible for financing provided that they meet all the requirements of that RDP, including the requirement that work for which financing is requested must not have been started.
Glede financiranja naložb s seznama z razpoložljivimi sredstvi iz Načrta za razvoj podeželja dežele Benečije 2000–2006 (15 podjetij na seznamu je vložilo prošnjo na podlagi navedenega Načrta za razvoj podeželja, glej točko 32) so pristojni organi izjavili, da se jim bodo dodelila sredstva, če bodo naložbe izpolnjevale vse zahteve iz navedenega NRP, med drugim to, da se še niso začela dela, za katera je bila vložena prošnja za financiranje.
In accordance with Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty, any aid granted by a Member State or using state resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods is, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, incompatible with the common market.
V skladu s členom 87(1) Pogodbe ES je vsaka pomoč, ki jo dodeli država članica, ali kakršna koli vrsta pomoči iz državnih sredstev, ki izkrivlja ali bi lahko izkrivljala konkurenco z dajanjem prednosti posameznim podjetjem ali proizvodnji posameznega blaga, nezdružljiva s skupnim trgom, kolikor prizadene trgovino med državami članicami.
The measures covered by the Decision in question correspond to this definition for the following reasons.
Ukrepi, ki jih predvideva zadevna odločitev, ustrezajo tej opredelitvi iz naslednjih razlogov.
The measures in question, financed by the Region of Veneto, favour certain undertakings and certain operators (undertakings processing and marketing agricultural products) and may affect trade, since Italy accounts for 14,07 % of European agricultural production.
Obravnavani ukrepi, ki se financirajo iz skladov dežele Benečije, dajejo prednost nekaterim podjetjem in izvajalcem (podjetja, ki opravljajo dejavnosti predelovanja in trženja kmetijskih proizvodov) in lahko prizadenejo trgovino glede na 14,07-odstotni delež Italije v evropski kmetijski proizvodnji.
However, in cases covered by Article 87(2) and (3) of the Treaty, some measures may enjoy derogations and be considered compatible with the common market.
Kljub temu se lahko v primerih iz člena 87(2)(3) Pogodbe nekateri ukrepi izjemoma štejejo za združljive s skupnim trgom.
Given the nature of the measures described above, the only possible derogation is laid down in Article 87(3)(c) of the Treaty, according to which aid may be considered compatible with the common market if it is to facilitate the development of certain economic activities or of certain economic areas, where such aid does not adversely affect trading conditions to an extent contrary to the common interest.
V tem primeru se glede na značaj zgoraj navedenih ukrepov lahko šteje za edino sprejemljivo odstopanje tisto, ki je opredeljeno v členu 87(3)(c) Pogodbe, na podlagi katerega je s skupnim trgom združljiva pomoč za pospeševanje razvoja določenih gospodarskih dejavnosti ali določenih gospodarskih območij, kadar taka pomoč ne spreminja trgovinskih pogojev v obsegu, ki bi bil v nasprotju s skupnimi interesi.
To benefit from the derogation provided for in Article 87(3)(c) of the Treaty, aid for investments for the processing and marketing of agricultural products must comply with the relevant provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1/2004 of 23 December 2003 on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to state aid to small and medium-sized enterprises active in the production, processing and marketing of agricultural products.
Da bi se lahko upoštevalo odstopanje iz člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe, morajo biti pomoči za naložbe v sektor predelave in trženja kmetijskih proizvodov skladne z določbami Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 1/2004 z dne 23. decembra 2003 o uporabi členov 87 in 88 Pogodbe ES pri dodeljevanju državne pomoči malim in srednje velikim podjetjem, ki se ukvarjajo s pridelavo, predelavo in trženjem kmetijskih proizvodov.
Where that Regulation does not apply, or if all the requirements laid down are not met, the aid must be appraised in the light of the relevant provisions of the Community guidelines for state aid in the agriculture sector.
Če se ta uredba ne uporabi ali če niso izpolnjene vse zahteve, se pomoč oceni na podlagi ustreznih določb Smernic Skupnosti za državno pomoči v kmetijskem sektorju.
Since the scheme in question is not limited to small and medium-sized undertakings, Regulation (EC) No 1/2004 does not apply.
Ker zadevna shema ni omejena samo na mala in srednje velika podjetja, Uredba (ES) št. 1/2004 ne velja.
Therefore, the appraisal of the compatibility of the aid must be based on the guidelines, and more particularly points 3.5, 3.6 and 4.2 thereof.
Ocenitev združljivosti pomoči mora temeljiti na Smernicah in še posebej na točkah 3.5, 3.6 in 4.2 Smernic.
In accordance with points 3.5 and 3.6 of the guidelines, the Commission takes the view that, in order to be considered compatible with the common market, any aid measure must contain some incentive element or require some counterpart on the part of the beneficiary and that aid granted for work already undertaken by the beneficiary does not contain the necessary incentive element and must therefore be considered to be operating aid.
Komisija v skladu s točkama 3.5 in 3.6 Smernic meni, da so ukrepi pomoči združljivi s skupnim trgom, če vsebujejo element spodbude ali zahtevajo obveznost tudi od upravičenca, pomoč, ki se je upravičencu dodelila za že izvedeno delo pa ne vsebuje zahtevanega elementa spodbude in se zato šteje za pomoč za tekoče poslovanje.
Except in the case of aid schemes which are compensatory in nature, all aid schemes should therefore provide that no aid may be granted in respect of work begun or activities undertaken before an application for aid has been properly submitted to the competent authority concerned.
Vse sheme pomoči, razen tistih, ki so po naravi kompenzacijske, morajo določati, da se ne sme dodeliti pomoči za delo, ki se je začelo izvajati, ali za dejavnosti, ki so bile opravljene, preden je bila pravilno vložena prošnja za pomoč pri zadevnem pristojnem organu.
The aid scheme that Article 35 of RL No 5/2000 intends to introduce provides exclusively for the financing of projects implemented by agrifood undertakings that had submitted applications for aid under a part-financed aid scheme during the 1994-99 programming period and had been declared eligible for financing by being entered on the list drawn up by the regional authorities, but had failed to receive any financing due to a funding shortfall (hereafter referred to as projects remaining on the list).
Shema pomoči iz člena 35 DZ št. 5/2000 določa samo financiranje projektov živilskopredelovalnih podjetij, ki so bila po vložitvi prošenj za odobritev ukrepov sofinanciranja v programskem obdobju 1994–1999 upravičena do financiranja in uvrščena na ustrezni prednostni seznam, ki so ga sestavili deželni organi, vendar zaradi pomanjkanja javnih sredstev niso prejela finančnih sredstev (v nadaljnjem besedilu: projekti, ki so ostali na seznamu).
Investments for some of the projects remaining on the list were begun after the applications for financing were submitted for the 1994-99 programming period.
Za nekatere projekte, ki so ostali na seznamu, so se naložbe začele izvajati takoj po vložitvi prošnje za financiranje v programskem obdobju 1994–1999.
On the basis of the information gathered during the formal investigation procedure, the Commission takes the view that the notified scheme is compatible with the common market, but to be eligible for the aid provided for under the scheme, those projects remaining on the list must fulfil the conditions laid down in point 4.2 of the guidelines.
Komisija na podlagi podatkov, ki jih je pridobila med formalnim postopkom preiskave, meni, da je priglašena shema združljiva s skupnim trgom, toda pomoči iz priglašene sheme so lahko deležni le tisti projekti, ki so ostali na seznamu in izpolnjujejo pogoje iz točke 4.2 Smernic.
Aid may therefore be granted only:
Pomoč se dodeli samo v naslednjih primerih:
to economically viable holdings;
če podjetje ustvarja gospodarski dobiček;
to holdings that comply with minimum standards regarding the environment, hygiene and animal welfare;
če podjetja izpolnjujejo minimalne zahteve glede okolja, higiene in dobrega počutja živali;
if the aid rate does not exceed 50 % of eligible investments in Objective 1 regions and 40 % in the other regions;
če intenzivnost pomoči ne presega 50 % upravičenih naložb v regijah Cilja 1 in 40 % v drugih regijah;
if the eligible expenditure is for the construction, acquisition or improvement of immovable property, new machinery and equipment and general costs up to 12 % of that expenditure;
če upravičeni stroški zadevajo graditev, nakup ali izboljšanje nepremičnin, novih strojev in opreme in splošne stroške do 12 % zgoraj navedenih stroškov;
if there is sufficient proof that normal market outlets for the products concerned can be found.
če je na voljo dovolj dokazov, da obstaja primeren trg za zadevne proizvode.
In granting the aid, the Italian authorities must take account of any restrictions on production or limitations of Community support under the common market organisations.
Italijanski organi morajo pri izplačilu pomoči upoštevati morebitne omejitve proizvodnje posameznega blaga ali omejitve podpore Skupnosti v skladu s skupnimi ureditvami trgov.
In particular, no aid may be granted in contravention of any prohibitions or restrictions laid down in the common market organisations and no aid may be granted which concerns the manufacture and marketing of products which imitate or substitute for milk and milk products.
Zlasti niso upravičeni do nobene pomoči projekti, ki kršijo prepovedi ali omejitve iz skupnih ureditev trga ali se nanašajo na proizvodnjo ali trženje posnetkov mleka ali mlečnih proizvodov in nadomestkov zanje.
As an exceptional measure, aid may be granted for investment projects for which applications were submitted during the programming period ending on 31 December 1999 and that were then considered to be eligible but which were not processed because of a shortage of funds, it being understood that that only those investment projects begun after the submission of applications to the competent authority for financing may receive aid.
Izjemoma bodo pomoč lahko prejeli naložbeni projekti, za katere so bile vložene prošnje za programsko obdobje, ki se je končalo 31. decembra 1999, in ki so se tedaj šteli za upravičene do pomoči, niso pa bili izvedeni, ker ni bilo na voljo finančnih sredstev, pri čemer pa bodo zagotovo lahko prejeli pomoč samo tisti naložbeni projekti, ki so se začeli izvajati po vložitvi prošenj za financiranje pristojnim organom.
After examining the documentation concerning the administrative procedures used by the competent authorities for granting aid during the 1994-99 programming period and in accordance with the interpretation used at the time, the Commission also considers the investments referred to in point 57 to be eligible.
Komisija je po preučitvi dokumentacije o upravnem postopku, ki so ga uporabili pristojni organi pri dodeljevanju pomoči za programsko obdobje 1994–1999, in v skladu s tedanjo prakso razlage ocenila, da so do pomoči upravičene tudi naložbe iz točke 59.
According to that interpretation, under an aid scheme that is presented as completing a previous scheme, aid granted for work already begun by the beneficiary after submission of the aid application in response to the previous call for applications has the necessary incentive element and cannot therefore be considered to be operating aid, provided that the work was begun or the activities undertaken after the aid application was properly submitted to the competent authority and that that authority had declared the project eligible for financing.
Po taki praksi pri shemi pomoči, ki se šteje za dopolnitev prejšnje sheme, pomoč za dela, ki jih je upravičenec že izvedel po vložitvi prošnje za financiranje na podlagi prejšnjega razpisa, vsebuje potreben element spodbude in se ne šteje za pomoč za tekoče poslovanje, če so se dela ali dejavnosti začeli, potem ko je bila prošnja za pomoč pravilno vložena pri pristojnem organu, ki je prošnjo odobril.
The Commission would point out to the Italian authorities that its current interpretation is to consider that aid granted for activities undertaken after an application for aid has been submitted to the competent authority but before that application has been accepted by means of an act that places a legal obligation on the public authorities towards the (prospective) beneficiaries has no incentive effect.
Komisiji se zdi primerno opozoriti italijanske organe, da se po sedanji praksi razlage šteje, da pomoč ne vsebuje spodbude, če se dodeli za dejavnosti, ki so se začele po vložitvi prošnje za financiranje pri pristojnih organih, vendar preden so jo pristojni organi odobrili s pravno zavezujočim aktom, ki določa obveznosti javne uprave do (možnih) upravičencev.
Regarding the use of agrimonetary aid and aid originating from overbooking to finance projects remaining on the list before 31 December 1999, the Italian authorities stated that the use of funds released by the revaluation of the Italian lira under Regulation (EC) No 724/97 for measures provided for under the Veneto ROP referred to in the Regulation had been approved by the Commission by means of letter No 5372 dated 2 July 1998, while the overbooking amounts originate from financing additional to that already granted by the rotating fund for implementing Community policies under the Veneto ROP.
Glede kmetijsko-monetarnih sredstev in sredstev iz čezmernih rezervacij, ki so jih italijanski organi uporabili za financiranje projektov, ki so ostali na seznamu pred 31. decembrom 1999, so italijanski organi izjavili, da je uporabo sredstev iz revalorizacije italijanske lire na podlagi Uredbe (ES) št. 724/97 za ukrepe iz DOP Benečije, kot določa Uredba, odobrila Komisija z dopisom št. 5372 z dne 2. julija 1998, medtem ko je višina sredstev čezmernih rezervacij izhajala iz financiranja dodatnih kvot ob tistih, ki jih je že dodelil rotacijski sklad, zato da bi se začele izvajati politike Skupnosti za DOP Benečije.
The Commission therefore concludes there was no misuse of decisions to authorise aid or failure to notify aid, since the financing was granted for measures provided for by the ROP then in force.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da ni bilo zlorabe odločbe o odobritvi pomoči ne nepriglašenih pomoči, ker je šlo za financiranje z ukrepi po tedaj veljavnem DOP Benečije.
As regards the one-off nature of the scheme, the authorities responsible explained that this term was used to mean that the scheme cannot be combined with other schemes, that it is exclusively for undertakings remaining on the list and that it cannot be used for other operations: once the list has been exhausted, the scheme will no longer have any legal or financial effects.
Glede vrste sheme una tantum so pristojni organi pojasnili, da se je izraz uporabil v pomenu, da shema pomoči ni združljiva z drugimi shemami, ampak da je samo za podjetja, ki so ostala na seznamu in še niso prejela finančne pomoči, in da se ne sme uporabiti za druge ukrepe: ko se seznam izčrpa, bo shema izčrpala svoje pravne in finančne učinke.
The competent authorities stated that the initial budget would be around EUR 2,5 million but that this could be increased should this be insufficient to ensure that public aid would constitute a significant contribution to projects accepted for financing.
Pristojni organi so namenili začetna razpoložljiva sredstva v višini 2,5 milijona EUR in si pridržali pravico do dopolnjevanja sredstev z drugimi viri, če navedeni znesek ne bi zadostoval za ohranjanje pomembne stopnje javne pomoči za projekte, upravičene do podpore.
The competent authorities undertook to notify the Commission of any increase of more than 20 % of the original budget.
Pristojni organi so se obvezali, da Komisijo obvestijo o vsakem povečanju prvotno določenih razpoložljivih sredstev, ki bi preseglo 20 %.
It is Commission practice to accept increases in the original budget of existing schemes.
Po ustaljeni praksi Komisija dovoli povečanje prvotnih razpoložljivih sredstev za obstoječe sheme.
This practice was confirmed by Article 4(1) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 implementing Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty.
Tako prakso potrdi člen 4.1 Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 794/2004 z dne 21. aprila 2004 o izvajanju Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 659/1999 o določitvi podrobnih pravil za uporabo člena 93 Pogodbe ES.
The Commission takes the view that, under that provision, an increase in the original budget of an existing aid scheme by up to 20 % should not be considered an alteration to existing aid and that where the national authorities exceed that percentage, the alteration must be notified in accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 794/2004.
Komisija meni, da se na podlagi navedene določbe povečanje prvotnih razpoložljivih sredstev iz sheme pomoči za manj kakor 20 % ne šteje za spremembo obstoječe sheme pomoči, če pa nacionalni organi presežejo navedeni odstotek, je treba o tem obvestiti Komisijo v skladu s členom 4.2 Uredbe (ES) št. 794/2004.
There is therefore nothing to prohibit the Italian authorities from increasing the original budget of the scheme under examination provided this is done in accordance with the rules.
Italijanski organi lahko torej povečajo prvotna razpoložljiva sredstva zadevne sheme pomoči, če to storijo v skladu s predpisanimi postopki.
In the light of the above, the Commission considers that the aid provided for in Article 35 of RL No 5/2000 in favour of undertakings involved in the processing and marketing of agricultural products is in accordance with point 4.2 of the Community guidelines for state aid in the agriculture sector.
Komisija na podlagi zgoraj navedenega meni, da je pomoč podjetjem, ki se ukvarjajo s predelavo in trženjem kmetijskih proizvodov, kakor določa člen 35 DZ št. 5/2000, združljiva z določbami iz točke 4.2 Smernic Skupnosti v kmetijskem sektorju.
The aid measure is therefore eligible for the derogation provided for in Article 87(3)(c) of the Treaty,
Zato je ukrep pomoči upravičen do odstopanja iz člena 87(3)(c) Pogodbe –
The aid that Italy intends to implement under Article 35 of Region of Veneto Law No 5/2000 is compatible with the common market, subject to fulfilment of the conditions laid down in Article 2 of this Decision.
Pomoč, ki jo Republika Italija namerava izvajati v skladu s členom 35 Deželnega zakona Benečije št. 5/2000, je združljiva s skupnim trgom in v skladu s pogoji iz člena 2.
The Italian authorities shall notify the Commission of any increase of more than 20 % in the original budget of the aid scheme provided for in Article 35 of Region of Veneto Law No 5/2000.
Italijanski organi obvestijo Komisijo o vsakem povečanju prvotnih razpoložljivih sredstev iz sheme pomoči, večjem od 20 %, kakor določa člen 35 Deželnega zakona št. 5/2000.
Within two months of notification of this Decision, Italy shall inform the Commission of the measures it has taken to comply with it.
Italija bo v dveh mesecih od prejetja obvestila o tej odločbi Komisiji obvestila o ukrepih, sprejetih za uskladitev s to odločbo.
