As regards the aid for corrective action following inadvertent administrative errors in the evaluation reports on the aid for crop and livestock asset losses, Greece only submitted details of the total amount of the aid, i.e. EUR 3803901,72. However, no further details of the amounts relating to the corrective action in respect of the compensation aid for crop and livestock asset losses and crop losses caused by bears (see recitals 41, 42 and 43) were given in the additional information sent by the Greek authorities to the Commission.
Grčija je v zvezi s pomočmi za popravne ukrepe na podlagi nenamernih administrativnih napak v ocenjevalnih poročilih za pomoči za izgubo v rastlinski pridelavi in živalskih osnovnih sredstvih navedla samo skupni znesek teh pomoči, in sicer 3803901,72 EUR. Zneski v zvezi s popravnimi ukrepi pri pomočeh v obliki nadomestil za izgube v rastlinski pridelavi in živalskih osnovnih sredstvih ter v rastlinski pridelavi zaradi medveda (glej uvodne izjave 41, 42 in 43) niso bili podrobno navedeni v dodatnih informacijah, ki so jih grški organi poslali Komisiji.
Given that the corrective action related to administrative errors constituting ELGA debts vis-à-vis the beneficiaries of the aid in question, the Commission concludes that this corrective aid could form part of the compensation aid concerned.
Ker so se popravni ukrepi nanašali na administrativne napake, zaradi katerih je nastal dolg organizacije ELGA do upravičencev zadevnih pomoči, Komisija ugotavlja, da bi lahko te pomoči za odpravo napak spadale med zadevne pomoči v obliki nadomestil.
However, since only the compensation aid for crop losses, i.e. EUR 349666252,49 (see recital 75), is considered by the Commission to be compatible, the Commission concludes that only the corrective action relating to that compensation aid can be regarded as aid meeting the relevant conditions of the guidelines and the Exemption Regulation and qualifying for the derogation under Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Ker pa Komisija za združljive šteje samo pomoči v obliki nadomestil za izgube v rastlinski pridelavi v višini 349666252,49 EUR (glej uvodno izjavo 75), ugotavlja, da je samo za popravne ukrepe, ki se nanašajo na zadevne pomoči v obliki nadomestil, mogoče šteti, da izpolnjujejo upoštevne pogoje iz Smernic in uredbe o izjemah ter da bi se zanje lahko uporabilo odstopanje iz člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe.
Compensation aid granted in 2009
Pomoči v obliki nadomestil, dodeljene v letu 2009
Of the compensation aid of EUR 415019452 paid by ELGA to farmers in 2009, aid amounting to EUR 27614905 complies with the provisions of the guidelines and the Exemption Regulation, as set out in recital 73.
Od pomoči v obliki nadomestil v višini 415019452 EUR, ki jih je ELGA proizvajalcem izplačala v letu 2009, so pomoči v višini 27614905 EUR v skladu z določbami Smernic in uredbe o izjemah, ki so opisane v uvodni izjavi 73.
On the basis of the detailed information provided by the Greek authorities for all compensation aid paid by ELGA in 2009 (see recital 37), the Commission finds that the condition referred to in point (a) of recital 73, i.e. that the damage threshold must reach 30 % of normal production, is met as regards the compensation aid amounting to EUR 27614905.
Komisija je lahko na podlagi podrobnih podatkov, ki so jih grški organi predložili za vsako pomoč v obliki nadomestila, ki jo je ELGA izplačala v letu 2009 (glej uvodno izjavo 37), ugotovila, da je pogoj, naveden v uvodni izjavi 73(a), in sicer da mora prag škode doseči 30 % običajne proizvodnje, izpolnjen pri pomočeh v obliki nadomestil v višini 27614905 EUR.
Following on from recitals 76 to 79 concerning part of the aid granted by ELGA in 2008, the same conclusions may also be applied as regards the aid amounting to EUR 27614905 granted in 2009, i.e. that aid also meets all the other conditions laid down in the relevant provisions of the guidelines and the Exemption Regulation.
Kot je razvidno iz uvodnih izjav od 76 do 79, ki se nanašajo na del pomoči, ki jih je ELGA dodelila v letu 2008, je mogoče enako ugotoviti za pomoči v višini 27614905 EUR, dodeljene v letu 2009, in sicer da tudi te pomoči izpolnjujejo vse druge pogoje iz upoštevnih določb Smernic in uredbe o izjemah.
In particular, the intensity of the aid in question, the method of calculation used in this case, the meteorological data relating to the events which occurred in the course of the 2008/2009 marketing year (see table in recital 44), the ruling out of overcompensation for the losses incurred and the times at which the aid was paid out after the loss comply with the relevant provisions of the guidelines and the Exemption Regulation.
V skladu z upoštevnimi določbami Smernic in uredbe o izjemah so zlasti intenzivnost zadevnih pomoči, način izračuna, uporabljen v obravnavanem primeru, meteorološki podatki o dogodkih med tržnim letom 2008–2009 (glej preglednico v uvodni izjavi 44), izključenost čezmernega nadomestila za nastale izgube ter roki izplačil pomoči po nastanku izgube.
On the basis of the foregoing, the Commission finds that the aid amounting to EUR 27614905 paid by ELGA to farmers in 2009 can be considered to comply with the relevant provisions of the guidelines and the Exemption Regulation.
Komisija na podlagi navedenega ugotavlja, da se pomoči v višini 27614905 EUR, ki jih je ELGA kmetom izplačala v letu 2009, lahko štejejo za združljive z upoštevnimi določbami Smernic in uredbe o izjemah.
They therefore qualify for the derogation in Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Zanje se torej lahko uporabi odstopanje iz člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe.
As regards the remaining amount of that aid, i.e. EUR 387404547, the Commission finds, contrary to the opinion of the Greek authorities (see recital 46), that it cannot be regarded as meeting the conditions laid down in Article 11 of the Exemption Regulation.
Glede preostalega zneska teh pomoči, 387404547 EUR, Komisija v nasprotju z mnenjem grških organov (glej uvodno izjavo 46) ugotavlja, da teh pomoči ni mogoče šteti za združljive s pogoji iz člena 11 uredbe o izjemah.
On the basis of the detailed information supplied by Greece relating to all aid granted in 2009, the adverse climatic events in this case do not fall under the definition of adverse climatic event that can be regarded as a natural disaster provided for in point 8 of Article 2 of the Exemption Regulation, given that the adverse weather conditions in question destroyed less than 30 % of the normal production of the farmers concerned.
Glede na podrobne podatke, ki jih je Grčija predložila v zvezi z vsako pomočjo, dodeljeno v letu 2009, to pomeni, da neugodni vremenski pojavi v obravnavanem primeru ne ustrezajo opredelitvi neugodnih vremenskih pojavov, ki jih je mogoče šteti za naravno nesrečo iz člena 2(8) uredbe o izjemah, ker je bilo kot posledica zadevnih slabih vremenskih razmer uničene manj kot 30 % običajne proizvodnje zadevnih kmetov.
In addition, in this case normal production was not defined in accordance with point 8 of Article 2 of the Exemption Regulation [32] and, as a result, the intensity of the aid in question was not established in accordance with the method of calculation laid down in Article 11(2) of the Exemption Regulation.
Poleg tega običajna proizvodnja v obravnavanem primeru ni bila opredeljena v skladu s členom 2(8) uredbe o izjemah [32] in posledično zato intenzivnost zadevnih pomoči ni bila določena v skladu z izračunom iz člena 11(2) Uredbe o izjemah.
The Greek authorities also regard the aid in question as meeting all the conditions to be considered as complying with Article 107(3)(b) of the Treaty and the Communication on the Temporary Community Framework (see recitals 47 to 50).
Grški organi sicer menijo, da zadevne pomoči izpolnjujejo tudi vse pogoje, da jih je mogoče šteti za skladne s členom 107(3)(b) Pogodbe in s Sporočilom o začasnem okviru Skupnosti (glej uvodne izjave od 47 do 50).
The Commission takes the view that, as regards the non-notified aid in question, all of which was granted in 2009, Article 107(3)(b) of the Treaty cannot apply directly given that the Commission adopted the Communication on the Temporary Community Framework, which applies from 17 December 2008, on the basis of that provision.
Komisija meni, da se za zadevne nepriglašene pomoči, ki so bile dodeljene v letu 2009, člen 107(3)(b) Pogodbe ne more uporabljati neposredno, saj je Komisija sprejela sporočilo o začasnem okviru Skupnosti, ki se na podlagi te določbe uporablja od 17. decembra 2008.
Point 4.2.2(h) of the Communication explicitly excludes undertakings specialised in primary agricultural production from its scope.
V sporočilu so bila s področja uporabe v točki 4.2.2(h) izrecno izključena podjetja, specializirana za primarno kmetijsko proizvodnjo.
As the Court has consistently held, in the specific field of State aid the Commission is bound by the frameworks and communications which it adopts, provided that they do not depart from the rules of the Treaty [33].
Komisija je v skladu s sodno prakso na posebnem področju državnih pomoči vezana na okvire in obvestila, ki jih sprejme, če ne odstopajo od pravil Pogodbe.
However, by taking the view at the time in point 4.2.2(h) of the Temporary Framework that the aid scheme (aimed, it should be remembered, at supporting access to finance in the context of the financial and economic crisis) did not apply to undertakings active in the primary agricultural production sector, the Commission considered that, in view of the major distortions of competition likely to occur in that sector, such aid was not necessary or proportionate within the meaning of Article 107(3)(b) of the Treaty until the entry into force of specific rules and thresholds adopted for that sector [34].
Ker je Komisija takrat v točki 4.2.2(h) začasnega okvira menila, da se shema pomoči (ki je, naj opozorimo, namenjena spodbujanju dostopa do financiranja v razmerah gospodarske in finančne krize) ne uporablja za podjetja, ki delujejo v sektorju primarne kmetijske proizvodnje, je menila, da zaradi precejšnjih izkrivljanj konkurence, do katerih bi lahko prišlo v tem sektorju, take pomoči ne bi bile nujne ali sorazmerne v smislu člena 107(3)(b) Pogodbe do začetka veljavnosti posebnih pravil in pragov, sprejetih za ta sektor.
However, as stated in recital 90, the adverse weather conditions that occurred in this case destroyed less than 30 % of the normal production of the farmers concerned.
Kot je razvidno iz uvodne izjave 91, je bilo v zadevnem primeru zaradi slabih vremenskih razmer uničenih manj kot 30 % običajne proizvodnje zadevnih kmetov.
Consequently, the relevant provisions of the guidelines cannot be regarded as being met in respect of the compensation aid in question.
To pomeni, da ni mogoče šteti, da so bile v zvezi z zadevnimi pomočmi v obliki nadomestil izpolnjene upoštevne določbe Smernic.
As set out in recital 48, the Greek authorities take the view that point 7(a) of the Communication applies in respect of the non-notified aid in question since it was granted to producers after 17 December 2008.
Kot je razvidno iz uvodne izjave 48, se po mnenju grških organov točka 7(a) Sporočila uporablja za zadevne nepriglašene pomoči, ker so bile proizvajalcem dodeljene po 17. decembru 2008.
However, the Commission considers that the possibility of declaring aid to the agricultural sector to be compatible by virtue of the Communication on the Temporary Framework can only cover aid in the agricultural sector granted from 28 October 2009, the date on which the amendment of the Communication on the Temporary Community Framework providing for a limited amount of aid to be compatible for undertakings active in primary agricultural production became effective.
Komisija meni, da se možnost, da se pomoči kmetijskemu sektorju razglasijo za združljive na podlagi Sporočila o začasnem okviru Skupnosti, lahko nanaša samo na pomoči v kmetijskem sektorju, ki so bile dodeljene po 28. oktobru 2009, ko je začelo veljati spremenjeno Sporočilo o začasnem okviru Skupnosti, ki je določalo omejen znesek združljive pomoči za podjetja, ki delujejo v sektorju primarne kmetijske proizvodnje.
The Commission therefore concludes that the aid in question does not comply with the Communication and, as a result, does not qualify for the derogation under Article 107(3)(b) of the Treaty.
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da zadevne pomoči niso v skladu s Sporočilom in zato zanje ni mogoče uporabiti odstopanja iz člena 107(3)(b) Pogodbe.
However, the Commission recognises that, in the case of the aid granted by ELGA to producers of agricultural products on dates after the abovementioned date of 28 October 2009 (very small amounts of this aid were granted in December 2009 and November 2010), the amendments made to the Communication for the agricultural sector may apply.
Komisija kljub temu priznava, da bi se za pomoči, ki jih je ELGA proizvajalcem kmetijskih proizvodov dodelila po zgoraj navedenem datumu 28. oktobru 2009 (zelo malo teh pomoči je bilo dodeljenih decembra 2009 in novembra 2010), lahko uporabile spremembe, ki so bile v Sporočilo vnesene za kmetijski sektor.
The aid in question meets the conditions laid down in point 4.2.2 of the Communication on the Temporary Community Framework.
Zadevne pomoči izpolnjujejo pogoje iz točke 4.2.2 Sporočila o začasnem okviru Skupnosti.
However, the condition laid down in point 4.2.2(g) of that Communication was not met, given that ELGA did not obtain from the farmers concerned a declaration about any other de minimis aid and aid pursuant to the measure under the Temporary Community Framework received during the current fiscal year.
Vendar pogoj iz točke 4.2.2(g) navedenega sporočila ni bil izpolnjen, saj ELGA od zadevnih kmetov ni dobila izjave o drugih pomočeh de minimis in pomočeh, ki so temeljile na ukrepu na podlagi začasnega okvira Skupnosti, ki so jih prejeli v tekočem proračunskem letu.
However, the Commission acknowledges the Greek authorities’ argument that, in the present case, that requirement is merely a formality, given that Greece did not grant any de minimis aid or aid pursuant to the measure under the Temporary Community Framework to agricultural undertakings in the period 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2010.
Vseeno se Komisiji zdi sprejemljiva trditev grških organov, da je ta zahteva v obravnavanem primeru zgolj formalnost, saj Grčija kmetijskim podjetjem v obdobju od 1. januarja 2008 do 31. decembra 2010 ni dodelila pomoči de minimis ali pomoči na podlagi Sporočila o začasnem okviru Skupnosti.
As a result, the Commission concludes that the aid to which the Communication applies meets the conditions laid down in point 4.2.2 of that Communication and qualifies for the derogation in Article 107(3)(b) of the Treaty.
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da pomoči, na katere se nanaša Sporočilo, izpolnjujejo pogoje iz točke 4.2.2 navedenega sporočila, zato se zanje lahko uporabi odstopanje iz člena 107(3)(b) Pogodbe.
Also, the Commission takes the view that it is not impossible that some of that aid, amounting to EUR 75382500, meets all the conditions laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1535/2007 (see recitals 51 and 52).
Komisija tudi dopušča možnost, da del navedenih pomoči, v višini 75382500 EUR, izpolnjuje vse pogoje iz Uredbe (ES) št. 1535/2007 (glej uvodni izjavi 51 in 52).
The compensation paid by ELGA to producers in 2008, i.e. EUR 386986648, was financed only partly out of special compulsory contributions by farmers, given that those contributions only amounted to EUR 88353000 in 2008. As for the compensation paid in 2009, i.e. EUR 415019452, it was not financed out of special compulsory contributions.
Odškodnine, ki jih je ELGA proizvajalcem izplačala v letu 2008, in sicer v višini 386986648 EUR, so se samo deloma financirale s posebnimi obveznimi prispevki kmetov, saj so ti prispevki v letu 2008 znašali samo88353000 EUR. Odškodnine, izplačane v letu 2009, in sicer v višini 415019452 EUR, pa se niso financirale s posebnimi obveznimi prispevki.
As regards the two loans which ELGA had to take out in order to pay the compensation to the producers, ELGA will not be able, by means of the producers’ special insurance contributions, to pay the annual interest and make the capital repayments over 10 years, which is the period scheduled for repayment of the loans, particularly since those contributions will have to be used to pay the compensation for the damage incurred during the years in question.
V zvezi z obema posojiloma, ki ju je morala ELGA najeti za plačilo navedenih odškodnin proizvajalcem, je treba ugotoviti, da ELGA s prispevki proizvajalcev za posebno zavarovanje ne bo mogla plačati letnih obrokov obresti in amortizacije v desetih letih, ko naj bi bili ti posojili poplačani, še zlasti ker bo treba s temi prispevki izplačati odškodnine za škodo, ki bo v zadevnih letih nastala.
Consequently, in the light of the foregoing, the compensation paid by ELGA in 2008 and 2009 under the compulsory insurance scheme cannot be regarded as being financed solely out of the special insurance contributions paid by producers.
Glede na navedeno torej ni mogoče šteti, da so se odškodnine, ki jih je ELGA v letih 2008 in 2009 izplačala v okviru obveznega zavarovanja, financirale izključno z zneski, ki so jih proizvajalci plačali kot prispevek za obvezno zavarovanje.
For that reason the Commission concludes that the compensation paid by ELGA in 2008 and 2009 under the compulsory insurance scheme falls under Article 107(1) of the Treaty and constitutes State aid.
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da odškodnine, ki jih je ELGA v letih 2008 in 2009 izplačala v okviru sheme obveznega zavarovanja, spadajo na področje uporabe člena 107(1) Pogodbe in pomenijo državne pomoči.
The Commission finds that the Hellenic Republic implemented this aid in breach of Article 108(3) of the Treaty.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je Helenska republika navedene pomoči dodelila v nasprotju s členom 108(3) Pogodbe.
In the case of the compensation aid granted in 2008 under the special compulsory insurance scheme, the Commission:
Glede pomoči v obliki posojil, ki so bile v letu 2008 dodeljene v okviru posebnega obveznega zavarovanja:
concludes that the State aid amounting to EUR 349493652,03 which ELGA granted to producers to make good their crops losses, including an amount of EUR 2300185,51 relating to aid for further losses to the same crop, is compatible.
Komisija ugotavlja združljivost državnih pomoči v višini 349493652,03 EUR, ki jih je ELGA proizvajalcem dodelila za povračilo škode na njihovi rastlinski pridelavi, od katerih se 2300185,51 EUR nanaša na pomoči za zaporedne izgube na isti rastlinski pridelavi.
The Commission considers that that aid complied with the relevant provisions of the guidelines and the Exemption Regulation and, as a result, can be regarded as State aid compatible with the internal market under Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty;
Komisija meni, da so navedene pomoči v skladu z upoštevnimi določbami Smernic in uredbe o izjemah ter jih je zato mogoče šteti za državne pomoči, združljive z notranjim trgom na podlagi člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe;
considers that the State aid of EUR 33402118,93 which ELGA granted to producers for certain crop and livestock asset losses did not comply with the relevant provisions of the guidelines and the Exemption Regulation and, as a result, is incompatible with the internal market;
Komisija meni, da državne pomoči v višini 33402118,93 EUR, ki jih je ELGA proizvajalcem dodelila za nekatere izgube v rastlinski pridelavi in živalskih osnovnih sredstvih, niso v skladu z upoštevnimi določbami Smernic in uredbe o izjemah in zato niso združljive z notranjim trgom;
considers that the State aid of EUR 114374,86 which ELGA granted to producers for crop losses caused by bears may represent a risk of distortion of competition and, as a result, is incompatible with the internal market;
Komisija meni, da bi lahko državne pomoči v višini 114374,86 EUR, ki jih je ELGA proizvajalcem dodelila za izgube, ki jih je na njihovi rastlinski pridelavi povzročil medved, izkrivljale konkurenco in zato niso združljive z notranjim trgom.
considers that, of the State aid of EUR 3803901,72 granted for corrective action as a result of errors in the evaluation reports, only the corrective action relating to the compensation aid amounting to EUR 349493652,03 for crop losses and the corrective action relating to the compensation aid amounting to EUR 91500 for crop losses caused by bears meet the relevant conditions of the guidelines and the Exemption Regulation and, as a result, qualify for the derogation under Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Komisija meni, da od državnih pomoči v višini 3803901,72 EUR, namenjenih popravnim ukrepom zaradi napak v ocenjevalnih poročilih, samo popravni ukrepi v zvezi s pomočmi v obliki nadomestil v višini 349493652,03 EUR za izgube v rastlinski pridelavi in popravni ukrepi v zvezi s pomočmi v obliki nadomestil v višini 91500 EUR za izgube, ki jih je na rastlinski pridelavi povzročil medved, izpolnjujejo upoštevne pogoje iz Smernic in uredbe o izjemah in se zato zanje lahko uporabi odstopanje iz člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe.
By contrast, the other State aid granted for corrective action does not meet the relevant conditions of the guidelines and the Exemption Regulation and, as a result, does not qualify for the derogation under Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty.
Nasprotno pa preostale državne pomoči, dodeljene za popravne ukrepe, ne izpolnjujejo upoštevnih pogojev iz Smernic in uredbe o izjemah, zato zanje ni mogoče uporabiti odstopanja iz člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe.
In the case of the compensation aid granted in 2009 under the Common Ministerial Decision, the Commission:
Glede pomoči v obliki nadomestil, ki so bile v letu 2009 dodeljene na podlagi medministrskega odloka:
concludes that the State aid of EUR 27614905 which ELGA granted to producers to make good their crop losses is compatible.
Komisija ugotavlja združljivost državnih pomoči v višini 27614905 EUR, ki jih je ELGA proizvajalcem dodelila za povračilo škode na njihovi rastlinski pridelavi.
concludes that, in the case of the State aid of EUR 387404547 which ELGA granted to producers to make good their crop losses:
Komisija ugotavlja, da v zvezi z državnimi pomočmi v višini 387404547 EUR, ki jih je ELGA proizvajalcem dodelila za povračilo škode na njihovi rastlinski pridelavi:
as far as the aid granted on dates prior to 28 October 2009 [35] is concerned (the date on which the amendment of the Communication to include agricultural undertakings became effective), it did not comply with the relevant provisions of the guidelines and the Exemption Regulation and, as a result, is incompatible with the internal market.
pomoči, ki so bile dodeljene pred 28. oktobrom 2009 [35], ko je začelo veljati spremenjeno Sporočilo, ker so se vanj vključila kmetijska podjetja, niso bile v skladu z upoštevnimi določbami Sporočila, Smernic in uredbe o izjemah ter zato niso združljive z notranjim trgom.
This conclusion is without prejudice to the aid which, at the time it was granted, met all the conditions laid down in the applicable de minimis Regulation,
Ta ugotovitev ne posega v združljivost pomoči, ki so ob dodelitvi izpolnjevale vse pogoje iz veljavne uredbe de minimis,
as far as the aid granted after 28 October 2009 is concerned, the Commission concludes that it meets all the conditions laid down in the Communication and, as a result, can be regarded as State aid compatible with the internal market under Article 107(3)(c) of the Treaty,
v zvezi s pomočmi, ki so bile dodeljene po 28. oktobru 2009, Komisija ugotavlja, da izpolnjujejo vse pogoje iz Sporočila in jih je zato mogoče šteti za državne pomoči, ki so združljive z notranjim trgom na podlagi člena 107(3)(c) Pogodbe –
The compensation paid by the Greek Agricultural Insurance Organisation (‘ELGA’) to producers of agricultural products in 2008 and 2009 constitutes State aid.
Odškodnine, ki jih je grška kmetijska zavarovalna organizacija (v nadaljnjem besedilu: ELGA) proizvajalcem kmetijskih proizvodov izplačala v letih 2008 in 2009, so državne pomoči.
