The Commission invited interested parties to submit their comments on the aid in question.
Komisija je pozvala vse zainteresirane stranke, da predložijo svoje pripombe o zadevnem ukrepu.
By letter dated 11 June 2004, recorded as received on 14 June 2004, France submitted its comments to the Commission.
Z dopisom z dne 11. junija 2004, evidentiranim 14. junija 2004, je Francija poslala Komisiji svoje pripombe.
The aids notified are a continuation of those previously notified to and approved by the Commission in connection with state aids Nos N 703/95 and N 327/98 and involve publicity and promotion measures, research and experimentation measures, technical assistance measures and measures to promote the production of quality products.
Priglašene pomoči so nadaljevanje pomoči, ki so bile predhodno priglašene in jih je Komisija odobrila v okviru državnih pomoči št. N 703/95 in št. N 327/98, in bodo namenjene za oglaševalske in promocijske dejavnosti, raziskovalne in poskusne programe, ukrepe tehnične podpore in ukrepe, namenjene spodbujanju kakovostne proizvodnje.
The Court of Justice annulled the Commission decision on state aid N 703/95 in a judgment detailed below.
Odločba Komisije v zvezi z državno pomočjo št. N 703/95 je bila razveljavljena s sodbo Sodišča, katere vsebina je podrobneje navedena v nadaljevanju.
Seven instalments were paid under the two aid schemes 703/95 and 327/98, which were initially planned to run for five years from 1995/96, the final instalment covering the period from May 2001 to April 2002.
Pomoči N 703/95 in 327/98, ki sta bili prvotno predvideni za obdobje petih let od leta 1995/1996 naprej, sta bili razdeljeni na sedem obrokov plačil, pri čemer je zadnje zajemalo obdobje od maja 2001 do aprila 2002.
However, because of budget constraints imposed by the Government, the final payments are still frozen today.
Zaradi proračunskih omejitev, ki jih je uvedla vlada, so ta zadnja sredstva danes še vedno zamrznjena.
The expiry date of the previous scheme was extended to 30 April 2002.
Datum prenehanja veljavnosti prejšnjega programa je bil prestavljen na 30. april 2002.
As regards the products covered, changes were made from the previous schemes.
Kar zadeva upravičene proizvodnje, je prišlo do sprememb glede na prejšnje programe.
The spirit-drinks sector (Armagnac, Calvados, Cognac) did not ask for the scheme to be extended.
Tako strokovnjaki v sektorju žganja (Armagnac, Calvados, Cognac) niso zaprosili za podaljšanje programa.
Consequently, the French authorities decided to restrict it to liqueur wines with a registered designation of origin.
Francoski organi so se zato odločili, da bodo program omejili samo na desertna vina z registrirano označbo porekla.
For all the inter-branch organisations targeted and all the aid measures described below, the total budget planned is EUR 12000000, broken down as follows: EUR 9360000 for Pineau des Charentes, EUR 2040000 for Floc de Gascogne, EUR 360000 for Pommeau de Normandie and EUR 240000 for Macvin du Jura.
Za vse predvidene medpanožne organizacije in vse spodaj opisane pomoči je predviden splošni proračun pomoči za 5 let v višini 12000000 EUR z naslednjo porazdelitvijo: Pineau des Charentes, 9360000 EUR; Floc de Gascogne, 2040000 EUR; Pommeau de Normandie, 360000 EUR in Macvin du Jura, 240000 EUR.
The research, technical assistance and quality-product development measures will be financed solely by the Member State from the budget.
Raziskovalne dejavnosti, ukrepi tehnične podpore in razvoj kakovostne proizvodnje se bodo financirali izključno iz državnih proračunskih sredstev.
The publicity and promotion measures will be financed partly by the Member State and partly by the inter-branch organisations concerned by means of obligatory voluntary levies (CVO) charged to their members.
Oglaševalske in promocijske dejavnosti bo deloma financirala država in deloma zadevne medpanožne organizacije z obveznimi prostovoljnimi članarinami (v nadaljevanju: OPČ) svojih članov.
For publicity measures within the European Union, the Member State will contribute up to a maximum of 50 %.
Za oglaševalske dejavnosti na ozemlju Evropske unije bo država prispevala največ 50 %.
The CVO applies to the volumes of liqueur wines with a registered designation of origin marketed by winegrowers, professional distillers, traders and wholesalers located within the production area of the registered designation of origin concerned.
OPČ se uporablja za količine desertnih vin z registrirano označbo porekla, ki jih tržijo vinogradniki, poklicni destilaterji, trgovci in veletrgovci na območju proizvodnje zadevne registrirane označbe porekla.
In 2002, the CVO was EUR 12,96/hectolitre for Pineau des Charentes, EUR 0,25/bottle for Floc de Gascogne, EUR 30,79/hectolitre for Pommeau de Normandie and EUR 2,75/hectolitre for Macvin de Jura.
Leta 2002 je OPČ za Pineau de Charentes znašala 12,96 EUR/volumenski hektoliter; za Floc de Gascogne 0,25 EUR/stekl.; za Pommeau de Normandie 30,79 EUR/volumenski hektoliter in za Macvin du Jura 2,75 EUR brez davka/hektoliter.
Publicity and promotion measures
Oglaševalske in promocijske dejavnosti
The French authorities explained that the planned programmes will be carried out on certain European Union markets, including the French market, and on markets of non-member countries.
Francoski organi so pojasnili, da se bodo predvideni programi izvajali na nekaterih trgih Evropske unije, med katerimi je tudi Francija, in na trgih tretjih držav.
The purpose of the planned publicity measures is to encourage the development of purchasing intentions by improving knowledge of liqueur wines, without promoting just the products of specific companies.
Cilj predvidenih oglaševalskih dejavnosti je spodbujati razvoj nakupnih namer z izboljšanjem poznavanja desertnega vina, pri čemer oglaševanje ne bi bilo nikoli omejeno na proizvode določenih podjetij.
The products concerned will all be registered destinations of origin: Pineau des Charentes, Floc de Gascogne, Pommeau de Normandie and Macvin du Jura.
Proizvodnje, ki bodo predmet oglaševanja, imajo vse registrirano označbo porekla: Pineau des Charentes, Floc de Gascogne, Pommeau de Normandie in Macvin du Jura.
These measures benefit all organised producers of liqueur wines who, according to the French authorities, could not alone carry out equivalent measures to improve the marketing of their products.
Te dejavnosti so namenjene vsem organiziranim proizvajalcem desertnega vina, ki po mnenju francoskih organov ne bi mogli sami v enakem obsegu prispevati k razvoju trženja svojih proizvodov.
Steps will be taken to ensure that the publicity campaigns do not aim to dissuade consumers from buying products from other Member States or to disparage those products.
Posebna pozornost bo posvečena temu, da namen sporočil v oglaševalskih dejavnostih ne bo potrošnike odvračal od nakupa proizvodov iz drugih držav članic ali očrnil teh proizvodov.
The programmes will involve publicity, information and communication campaigns, comprising a range of measures, including advertising in the media, the creation and distribution of other promotional materials and publicity campaigns at points of sale.
Šlo bo za akcije oglaševanja, obveščanja in komuniciranja, ki bodo zajemale različne vrste ukrepov, zlasti oglaševanje v medijih, pripravo in razširjanje drugega promocijskega gradiva, izvajanje oglaševalskih akcij na prodajnih mestih, povezanih z akcijami.
They may be accompanied by promotion measures such as public relations measures, participation in fairs, seminars and events, information brochures and documentation and studies of the product's image in the eyes of consumers and the relevance of the campaigns.
Spremljale jih bodo lahko promocijske dejavnosti, kot so odnosi z javnostmi, sodelovanje na razstavah, izvedba seminarjev, organizacija prireditev, brošure ali informativno gradivo, študije o prepoznavnosti proizvoda in primernosti akcij.
The French authorities promised to submit originals or copies of the publicity material to be used for the campaigns.
Francoski organi so se zavezali, da bodo predložili uporabljeno oglaševalsko gradivo za te akcije ali njegove kopije.
The aid planned by the above inter-branch organisations for publicity will be limited to 50 % for measures within the European Union including France and 80 % for measures in non-member countries.
Pomoč, ki so jo predvidele zgoraj navedene medpanožne organizacije na področju oglaševanja, bo omejena na 50 % za dejavnosti v Evropski uniji, med katerimi tudi v Franciji, in na 80 % za dejavnosti v tretjih državah.
The estimated aid in euro for the planned measures is:
Načrtovana pomoč za predvidene dejavnosti v eurih znaša:
Non-member countries

INITIATION OF THE PROCEDURE PROVIDED FOR IN ARTICLE 88(2) OF THE TREATY
SPROŽITEV POSTOPKA NA PODLAGI ČLENA 88(2) POGODBE
As regards the nature of, the conditions for granting and the method of financing the planned aid, the preliminary examination of the measures did not raise any substantive doubts, although, in the case of the aid for publicity measures, the Commission took the view that France must make an explicit undertaking that any reference to the national origin of the products concerned would be secondary.
Kar zadeva naravo, pogoje dodelitve ali način financiranja predvidenih pomoči, predhodno preverjanje ukrepov ni sprožilo večjih dvomov, čeprav je Komisija pri pomoči za oglaševanje ocenila, da bi se morala Francija izrecno zavezati, da bo vsako sklicevanje na nacionalno poreklo proizvodov drugotnega pomena.
The Commission initiated the procedure provided for in Article 88(2) of the Treaty because of doubts concerning the compatibility of the aid with other provisions of Community law, in particular Article 90 of the Treaty.
Komisija je postopek iz člena 88(2) Pogodbe sprožila zaradi razlogov v zvezi z združljivostjo pomoči z drugimi določbami prava Skupnosti, zlasti s členom 90 Pogodbe.
It should be pointed out that the Commission Decision concerning state aid No N 703/95, of which the notified measure is an extension, was annulled by the Court of Justice.
Na tem mestu je treba poudariti, da je odločbo Komisije o državni pomoči št. N 703/95, pri kateri gre za podaljšanje priglašenega ukrepa, Sodišče Evropskih skupnosti razveljavilo.
In its judgment, the Court recalled that during 1992 and 1993 the French government had introduced a differentiated system of taxation for liqueur wines and naturally sweet wines.
Sodišče v svoji sodbi poudarja, da je francoska vlada v letih 1992 in 1993 uvedla ureditev različnega obdavčevanja desertnih vin in naravnih sladkih vin.
Thus, from 1 July 1993 an excise duty was fixed of FRF 1400 per hectolitre for liqueur wines and FRF 350 per hectolitre for naturally sweet wines.
Tako je bila od1. julija 1993 za ta vina uvedena trošarina v višini 1400 FRF na hektoliter za desertna vina in 350 FRF na hektoliter za naravna sladka vina.
During 1993/94, certain French producers refused to pay the additional excise duty on liqueur wines.
Leta 1993/1994 so nekateri francoski proizvajalci zavrnili plačilo dodatnih trošarin na desertna vina.
When that excise strike was suspended in June 1994, the President of the Confédération nationale des producteurs de vins de liqueur AOC (National Confederation of Producers of Liqueur Wines with a Registered Designation of Origin; CNVDLAOC) justified that suspension by reference to the fact that, according to him, the French Government was planning to pay French producers of liqueur wines an annual indemnity and compensation for the years 1994 to 1997 in order to compensate for the difference in taxation.
Ko je bila junija 2004 ta „stavka glede plačila trošarin“ prekinjena, je predsednik Nacionalne konfederacije proizvajalcev desertnih vin z registrirano označbo porekla to prekinitev utemeljil z dejstvom, da je po njegovem mnenju francoska vlada nameravala francoskim proizvajalcem nadomestiti razliko v obdavčitvi z letno odškodnino in nadomestilom za leta od 1994 do 1997.
In 1995, the Associação de Exportadores de Vinho do Porto (Association of Port Wine Exporters; AEVP) sent two complaints to the Commission.
Leta 1995 je Associação dos Exportadores de Vinho do Porto (združenje izvoznikov vina portovec, v nadaljevanju: ZIVP) Komisiji poslalo dve pritožbi.
It claimed that there was a link between the difference in taxation between liqueur wines and naturally sweet wines and certain aid paid to French producers of liqueur wines.
Združenje je trdilo, da je obstajala povezava med razliko v obdavčevanju desertnih vin in naravnih sladkih vin na eni strani ter nekaterimi pomočmi francoskim proizvajalcem desertnih vin na drugi strani.
According to the AEVP, the aid was intended to compensate French producers of liqueur wines for the higher level of taxation, which meant that only foreign producers of liqueur wines had to pay the higher tax.
Po navedbah ZIVP je bil namen zadevne pomoči francoskim proizvajalcem desertnih vin nadomestiti to razliko v obdavčenju, kar je v bistvu pomenilo, da so bili višjemu obdavčenju podvrženi samo tuji proizvajalci desertnih vin.
They claimed that this discriminatory taxation infringed Article 95 (now Article 90) of the Treaty.
Ta diskriminacijska obdavčitev bi bila tako v nasprotju s členom 95 (ki je postal člen 90) Pogodbe.
The Court established that part of the aid in question appeared to favour a category of producers that broadly coincided with the category of French producers of liqueur wines fiscally disadvantaged by the system of taxation and that the possible existence of a link between the system of taxation and the proposed aid scheme in question represented a serious difficulty in determining whether that scheme was compatible with the provisions of the Treaty.
Po mnenju Sodišča je videti, da del zadevnih pomoči podpira kategorijo proizvajalcev, ki se zelo ujema s kategorijo francoskih proizvajalcev desertnih vin, ki so se zaradi davčne ureditve znašli v davčno neugodnem položaju, in da je morebitna povezava med davčno ureditvijo in zadevnim projektom pomoči predstavljala resno težavo pri ugotavljanju združljivosti pomoči z določbami Pogodbe.
The Court stressed that, under those circumstances, only by initiating the procedure provided for in Article 93(2) of the Treaty (now Article 88(2)) would the Commission have been in a position to appreciate the issues raised in the complaints lodged by the AEVP.
Sodišče je poudarilo, da bi lahko Komisija v teh okoliščinah, in sicer samo s sprožitvijo postopka iz člena 93(2) (ki je postal člen 88(2)) Pogodbe, odprla vprašanja, načeta v pritožbah, ki jih je vložil ZIVP.
The Court also found that the Commission Decision was devoid of any statement of reasons, i.e. that the Commission had not explained why it had concluded that the complaint lodged by the AEVP claiming a possible infringement of Article 95 (now Article 90) of the EC Treaty was unfounded.
Poleg tega je Sodišče ugotovilo, da v odločbi Komisije niso navedeni razlogi, saj Komisija ni pojasnila, zakaj je sklenila, da pritožba ZIVP glede možne kršitve člena 95 (ki je postal člen 90) Pogodbe ES ni utemeljena.
The Court therefore concluded that the contested decision was unlawful, as a result both of the failure to initiate the procedure under Article 93(2) (now Article 88(2)) of the Treaty and of the breach of the duty to state reasons, as provided for in Article 190 (now Article 253) of the Treaty.
Sodišče je tako sklenilo, da je bila izpodbijana odločba nezakonita zaradi nesprožitve postopka iz člena 93(2) (ki je postal člen 88(2)) Pogodbe in kršitve obveznosti navedbe razlogov iz člena 190 (ki je postal člen 253) Pogodbe.
Given this judgment, the Commission regarded it essential to make a detailed examination in the light of Article 90 of the Treaty of the notified aid scheme, which is an extension of the scheme approved in the Decision annulled by the Court.
Ob upoštevanju te sodbe je Komisija menila, da je nujen podrobnejši pregled priglašenega programa glede na člen 90 Pogodbe, saj gre za podaljšanje pomoči, odobrenih v odločbi, ki jo je Sodišče razveljavilo.
As part of its preliminary examination of the measure, the Commission therefore asked the French authorities whether the state aid concerned was not, in practice, a partial reimbursement, exclusively to French producers of liqueur wines, of the tax provided for in Article 402(a) of the General Tax Code.
V okviru predhodnega pregleda ukrepa je Komisija tako Franciji zastavila vprašanje, da bi izvedela, ali pri zadevni državni pomoči dejansko ni šlo za delni prenos dajatve iz člena 402a Splošnega zakonika o davkih samo v korist francoskih proizvajalcev desertnih vin.
In its answers during this first phase, France stressed that there had been no link in the past and there was no link today between the proposed support measures and excise duties, for the following reasons:
Francija je v odgovorih, ki jih je poslala na tej prvi stopnji, poudarila, da tako v preteklosti kot danes ni obstajala nobena povezava med predlaganimi ukrepi podpore in trošarinami na podlagi naslednjih utemeljitev:
According to the French authorities, the amount allocated for the aid (EUR 2,4 million per year, EUR 12 million over five years) is tiny compared with what the sector pays back in excise duties.
Po navedbah Francije je znesek, dodeljen pomoči (2,4 milijona EUR na leto, 12 milijonov EUR v petih letih) neprimerljiv s tem, kar sektor prinaša kot davek na potrošnjo (trošarine).
