natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
If the sector contributed at least 50 % of the costs, whatever the form of the contribution, the rate of aid could go up to 100 % of the eligible costs.
JANUARJA 2007 DO 31.
As shown above (recital 200), this condition is fulfilled.
DECEMBRA 2008
Point 158 the 2007-2013 Guidelines provided that advertising activities with an annual budget in excess of EUR 5 million had to be notified separately.
Tako pomoč je treba oceniti v skladu s poglavjem IV.J smernic za obdobje 2007–2013.
From the information provided by the Austrian authorities (recital 45) it can be concluded that this condition is complied with, as the annual budget allocated for the quality label in the years 2007 and 2008 was below EUR 5 million.
POMOČ PRIMARNIM PROIZVAJALCEM
For the reasons stated above the advertising measures carried out in the period 2007 to 2008 comply with the 2007-2013 Guidelines and are thus compatible with the internal market.
V skladu s točko 98 smernic za obdobje 2007–2013 bi lahko Komisija razglasila državno pomoč za spodbujanje proizvodnje kakovostnih kmetijskih proizvodov, dodeljeno primarnim proizvajalcem, za združljivo s skupnim trgom v skladu s členom 87(3)(c) PES (zdaj člen 107(3)(c) PDEU), če izpolnjuje vse pogoje iz člena 14 Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 1857/2006 [93].
The Commission notes in this regard that the bio label advertising measures expired at the end of 2006 and thus are not subject to the assessment under the 2007-2013 Guidelines (see recital 15).
V členu 14 Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006 je navedeno, da je pomoč združljiva s skupnim trgom po členu 87(3)(c) Pogodbe (zdaj člen 107(3)(c) PDEU), če se odobri za upravičene stroške iz člena 14(2) in izpolnjuje pogoje iz odstavkov 3 do 6 člena 14 Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006.
Generic advertising
Pomoč za spodbujanje proizvodnje kakovostnih kmetijskih proizvodov lahko v skladu s členom 14(2) Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006 krije do 100 % upravičenih stroškov za med drugim:
The provisions about generic advertising and advertising in third countries are not relevant for the period 2007-2008 since the aid measures that concerned those activities expired in 2004 with the adoption of aid scheme N 239/2004, as described in recital 39.
tržne raziskave, zasnovo in oblikovanje proizvoda (vključno s pomočjo za pripravo vlog za priznanje geografskih označb porekla in označb porekla ali potrdil o posebni naravi proizvoda); stroške, ki jih zaračunavajo priznani certifikacijski organi za prvo potrditev sistemov zagotavljanja kakovosti in podobnih sistemov;
TECHNICAL SUPPORT MEASURES AND AID FOR QUALITY PRODUCTS IN THE PERIOD 1995-1999
uvedbo sistemov zagotavljanja kakovosti, kakršni sta seriji ISO 9000 ali 14000, sistemov na temelju analize nevarnosti in kritičnih kontrolnih točk (HACCP), sistemov sledljivosti, sistemov za zagotavljanje upoštevanja pristnosti in tržnih normativov ali programov presoje vplivov na okolje;
Specific State aid guidelines have applied for the agriculture sector only since 1 January 2000.
stroške obveznih nadzornih ukrepov, ki jih skladno z zakonodajo Skupnosti ali držav članic opravijo pristojni organi sami ali se opravijo v njihovem imenu, razen če zakonodaja Skupnosti zahteva, da take stroške nosijo sama podjetja;
The compatibility of the aid granted prior to this date must thus be assessed based on the Treaty and in the light of the established Commission practice at that time (see recital 169 above).
do zneskov, določenih v Prilogi k Uredbi (ES) št. 1698/2005, za podporo na področju ukrepov iz člena 32 navedene uredbe.
PROMOTION IN A BROADER SENSE AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT MEASURES IN THE PERIOD 1995-1999
Pomoč se lahko v skladu s členom 14(3) Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006 odobri samo za stroške storitev, ki jih opravijo tretje strani in/ali nadzor, ki ga opravljajo tretje strani ali se opravlja v njihovem imenu, kot so pristojni upravni organi ali organi, ki delujejo v njihovem imenu, ali neodvisna telesa, odgovorna za nadzor in spremljanje uporabe geografskih označb in označb porekla, ekoloških označb ali označb kakovosti, če so take označbe skladne z zakonodajo Skupnosti.
Promotion operations in a broader sense such as the dissemination to the general public of scientific knowledge, the organisation of fairs or exhibitions, participation in these and similar public relations operations, including surveys and market research were excluded from the scope of the 1987 Advertising Framework by virtue of its point 1.1.
Pomoč ne sme biti dodeljena za izdatke ob naložbah.
As far as expenditure for these activities is concerned, it was established Commission practice to consider aid of up to 100 % to be compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 92(3)(c) of the Treaty (now Article 107(3)(c) TFEU) [89].
Pomoč v skladu se členom 14(4) Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006 ne sme biti dodeljena za stroške nadzora, ki ga opravi sam kmet ali proizvajalec, ali če zakonodaja Skupnosti predpisuje, da stroške nadzora nosijo proizvajalci, ne da bi bila opredeljena višina stroškov.
In addition, according to its practice and policy the Commission took a favourable view of soft aid measures which were intended to provide technical support in the agricultural sector.
V členu 14(5) Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006 je določeno, da se pomoč z izjemo pomoči iz odstavka 2(f) dodeli v obliki subvencioniranih storitev in ne sme vključevati neposrednih plačil v denarju proizvajalcem.
For instance, aid of up to 100 % of the eligible costs of measures to spread new techniques was authorised.
Pomoč je morala biti dostopna vsem upravičencem na ustreznem območju, in to na podlagi objektivno opredeljenih pogojev.
The AMA marketing measures described in Chapter 4.3 above fall into these categories.
Če so storitve zagotavljale skupine proizvajalcev ali druge kmetijske organizacije za vzajemno pomoč, članstvo v takih skupinah ali organizacijah ne sme biti pogoj za dostop do storitev in vsak prispevek nečlanov za kritje upravnih stroškov skupine ali organizacije je bilo treba omejiti na sorazmerne stroške za zagotavljanje storitve (člen 14(6) Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006).
The objective of the measures at stake was the dissemination of general knowledge through the organisation of general information projects.
Komisija v skladu s točko 100 smernic za obdobje 2007–2013 ni odobrila državne pomoči za stroške za velika podjetja.
The measures were therefore in line with the Commission practice at that time which considered that the objective pursued was legitimate.
Avstrijski organi so potrdili, da so bili ti pogoji izpolnjeni.
The aid intensity of 100 % also complied with the maximum aid intensity considered at that time to be proportionate in light of this objective and the limited negative impact on competition and trade.
POMOČ ZA PODJETJA, KI SE UKVARJAJO S PREDELAVO IN TRŽENJEM
The aid for promotion in a broader sense in the period 19951999 was in line with the established practice of the Commission at that time and the Commission considers that these measures were therefore compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 92(3)(c) EC (now Article 107(3)(c) TFEU).
V skladu s točko 99 smernic za obdobje 2007–2013 lahko Komisija razglasi državno pomoč za spodbujanje proizvodnje in trženja kakovostnih kmetijskih proizvodov, dodeljeno podjetjem, ki se ukvarjajo s predelavo in trženjem kmetijskih proizvodov, za združljivo s skupnim trgom v skladu s členom 87(3)(c) PES (zdaj člen 107(3)(c) PDEU), če izpolnjuje vse pogoje iz člena 5 Uredbe (ES) št. 70/2001 [94].
The measures described in Chapter 4.3 can be considered as such soft aid which, according to the established Commission practice of that time, was deemed to be compatible with the common market.
Nadalje bi se lahko glede primarne proizvodnje ter predelave in trženja v skladu s točko 101 smernic pomoč za naložbe, ki so potrebne za posodobitev proizvodnih obratov, vključno z naložbami, ki so potrebne za upravljanje sistema za dokumentacijo ter izvajanje nadzora postopkov in proizvodov, dodelila le v skladu s pravili, ki so določena v zvezi s pomočjo za naložbe v smernicah za obdobje 2007–2013.
As regards control measures to ensure compliance with industry-managed quality or traceability standards, the Commission, following the approach communicated to the Member States in the letter on stock-farming [90], consistently allowed for aid of up to 100 % of the costs for obligatory controls.
Komisija je v zvezi s tem v sklepu o začetku postopka izrazila določene pomisleke glede izpolnjevanja pogojev, ki so se razlikovali od zahtev iz smernic za obdobje 2000–2006.
Regarding those measures, the Austrian authorities were asked to explain whether the AMA controls were obligatory or not and if the latter is the case, to indicate whether the aid intensity limit was respected.
v smernicah za obdobje 2007–2013 se pomoč za nadzor postopkov ekološke pridelave, ki se izvajajo v okviru Uredbe (EGS) št. 2092/91, in pomoč za kontrole, ki jih izvajajo organi, pristojni za nadzor uporabe oznak in znakov kakovosti v okviru priznanih sistemov zagotavljanja kakovosti, ni več štela za združljivo s skupnim trgom.
In their submission of 30 April 2014, the Austrian authorities replied that the controls in question were obligatory according to the AMA implementing legal acts and that the aid intensity limit was respected.
Razen tega jih je posebej opozorila na zahteve iz člena 14(5) in (6) Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006.
The conditions for the compatibility of the aid are therefore fulfilled.
V skladu z navedenim členom je treba vsem upravičencem na ustreznem območju zagotavljati storitve v obliki subvencioniranih storitev in to na podlagi objektivno opredeljenih pogojev.
STATE AID FOR QUALITY PRODUCTS IN THE PERIOD 2000-2006
Še ena pomembna sprememba v primerjavi s smernicami za obdobje 2000–2006 se nanaša na razlikovanje med primarno proizvodnjo ter predelavo in trženjem kmetijskih proizvodov.
Activities related to the development of quality systems and quality controls were eligible for aid in relation to both the bio label and the quality label.
Glede predelave in trženja je bila od leta 2007 lahko dodeljena le pomoč za MSP, pri čemer je bilo območje uporabe upravičenih stroškov omejeno na svetovanje in druge storitve, intenzivnost pomoči pa se je zmanjšala na 50 %.
This constitutes aid for the production and marketing of quality products, which is to be assessed under point 13 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines.
Glede primarne proizvodnje pa se pomoč velikim podjetjem ni mogla razglasiti za združljivo.
Applicable rules
V dopisu, predloženem 14. septembra 2012, so trdili, da je obveznost prilagoditve novih pravil o državni pomoči veljala od 1. januarja 2008 in ne od 1. januarja 2007, kakor je navedla Komisija (glej tudi uvodni izjavi 172 in 173).
Point 13 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines sets out the conditions under which aid to encourage the production and marketing of quality agricultural products could be granted.
Zato niso poslali nobenih novih informacij za oceno združljivosti.
According to point 13.2 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines support could be granted, among other things, towards the costs of consultancy, technical studies, feasibility and design studies and market research and the introduction of quality assurance schemes.
Komisija je v zahtevi po informacijah z dne 19. februarja 2014 ponovno pozvala avstrijske organe, naj predložijo potrebne informacije o tej točki.
In the case of SMEs, the costs could not exceed EUR 100000 per beneficiary in a 3-year period or 50 % of the eligible expenses, whichever was greater.
Ti so v odgovoru z dne 30. aprila 2014 ponovili stališče, izraženo v prejšnjem dopisu, in niso navedli dodatnih informacij za oceno združljivosti.
For large undertakings the first limit alone applied.
Komisija je v zahtevi po informacijah z dne 17. decembra 2014 ponovno pozvala avstrijske organe, naj predložijo informacije za oceno združljivosti ukrepov za kakovost.
As specified in point 13.3 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines, the Commission considered that no aid should be granted in respect of routine quality controls carried out by the manufacturer.
Ti so ponovili, da se je obveznost prilagoditve novih pravil o državni pomoči uporabljala od 1. januarja 2008 in ne od 1. januarja 2007.
Aid could only be granted in respect of controls undertaken by or on behalf of third parties, such as the regulatory authorities or organisms in charge of supervising labels.
Komisija želi opozoriti, da je v nasprotju s tem, kar zatrjujejo avstrijski organi, obveznost prilagoditve sheme na nove predpise začela veljati 1. januarja 2007 in ne 1. januarja 2008.
Point 13.4 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines provided that aid for controls of organic production methods conducted within the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 was allowed at the rate of up to 100 % of the costs incurred.
Ko so začeli veljati novi predpisi (tj. 1. januarja 2007), je pred sodiščem tekel postopek v zvezi s sodbo Sodišča v zadevi T-375/04 (glej uvodno izjavo 22), s katero se je razveljavila Odločba Komisije o državni pomoči NN 34A/2000 z dne 30. junija 2004.
Point 13.5 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines established that aid could be granted at an initial rate of up to 100 % of the costs of controls carried out by bodies responsible for supervising the use of quality marks and labels under recognised quality assurance schemes.
Naknadna razveljavitev Odločbe Komisije z dne 18. novembra 2009 je imela retroaktivni učinek.
Such aids had to be reduced progressively, so that by the seventh year following their establishment they were eliminated.
Zato se Avstrija ni mogla sklicevati na to odločbo, da bi se pomoč štela za obstoječo shemo pomoči v smislu točke 196 smernic za obdobje 2007–2013.
The aid for the costs of the drafting and distribution of quality assurance documents and development of informatics systems within AMA Marketing was destined to finance the administrative costs of AMA Marketing (a public body, not an economic operator) and therefore does not constitute State aid for the production, distribution or marketing of products listed in Annex I to the Treaty.
Poleg tega se je v skladu z ustaljeno sodno prakso
The controls concerning the use of the bio and quality label were subsidised at a rate of 100 %, whereas the costs of routine controls were borne by the licence bearers and thus not subsidised.
Ničnostna tožba je bila vložena že 17. septembra 2004 in ob začetku veljavnosti novih pravil o državni pomoči je pred sodiščem že tekel postopek v zvezi s tem.
In their submission of 14 September 2012, the Austrian authorities confirmed that aid for quality controls never exceeded the EUR 100000 threshold per beneficiary in a 3-year period.
Zato bi morali avstrijski organi že od 1. januarja 2007 zaradi ničnostne tožbe, ki je tekla pred sodiščem, uporabljati smernice za obdobje 2007–2013.
In their submissions of 14 September 2012 and of 30 April 2014 the Austrian authorities did not provide sufficient information for an assessment of the conditions of points 13.3, 13.4 and 13.5 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines.
TEHNIČNA PODPORA V OBDOBJU OD 1.
Therefore, in its request for information of 17 December 2014, the Commission asked again for additional information on this measure.
JANUARJA 2000 DO 31.
In its reply of February 2015 Austria confirmed that:
DECEMBRA 2006
the aid was only granted in respect of controls undertaken by or on behalf of third parties, such as the regulatory authorities or organisms in charge of supervising labels (point 13.3 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines);
TEHNIČNA POMOČ ZA ZNAK KAKOVOSTI IN ZNAK BIO V OBDOBJU OD 1.
the aid was granted for controls of organic production methods conducted within the framework of Regulation (EEC) No 2092/91 up to 100 % of the costs incurred (point 13.4 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines).
JANUARJA 2000 DO 31.
In their earlier submissions of 14 September 2012 and 30 April 2014, the Austrian authorities had already confirmed that the aids were progressively reduced and completely eliminated in the year 2009.
DECEMBRA 2006
As the 2000-2006 Guidelines foresee a progressive reduction of the aid, the conditions of point 13.5 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines were therefore met for all measures granted until 31 December 2006.
Pomoč je bila v zvezi z znakom bio in znakom kakovosti dodeljena za projekte splošnega informiranja, dejavnosti na področju odnosov z javnostmi za razširjanje splošnega znanja o znakih in tekmovanja v kakovosti (glej uvodne izjave od 100 do 103).
However, as these aids were also granted after 1 January 2007 (i.e. in the years 2007 and 2008), the 2007-2013 Guidelines apply to this period.
Ti ukrepi potrošnikov ne spodbujajo k nakupu zadevnega proizvoda.
As regards the latter legal instrument, the conditions, as compared to the 2000-2006 Guidelines have changed in two aspects: the list of the types of aid has been refined [91] and this type of aid has been available only to primary producers [92].
Zato niso oglaševalski ukrepi, pač pa splošni promocijski ukrepi in „majhna pomoč“, ki spada pod točko 14 smernic za obdobje 2000–2006.
Therefore, those measures benefitting primary producers which have been continued after 2007 comply with the 2007-2013 Guidelines and are compatible with the internal market.
Ukrepi za obveščanje spadajo med razširjanje znanja o novih tehnikah.
However, aids given to processing and marketing undertakings have to be assessed in accordance with point 99 of the 2007-2013 Guidelines.
Do takih ukrepov so po definiciji upravičeni vsi proizvajalci, ki uporabljajo znak.
Reference is therefore made to the assessment in the section 8.6.2 below.
Avstrijski organi so bili v sklepu o začetku postopka pozvani, naj pošljejo informacije, s katerimi bi se dokazalo, da so zgornja zagotovila res izpolnjena.
Finally, concerning the introduction of the quality assurance scheme ISO 9002 (see recital 99), in recital 203 of the opening decision, the Austrian authorities were invited to indicate whether this measure was applicable also after 1999.
Poleg tega so bili pozvani, naj navedejo, ali so bile zahteve iz točk 14.2 in 14.3 smernic za obdobje 2000–2006 izpolnjene tudi v obdobju 2000–2001 [98].
In its reply of February 2015, Austria stated that neither the ISO 9001:1994 standard nor any other certification has ever been compulsory according to the AMA Guidelines (quality label or bio label).
S tem je bil izpolnjen pogoj iz točke 14.3 smernic za obdobje 2000–2006.
Furthermore, the Austrian authorities maintain that the quality assurance scheme ISO 9002 was also neither required nor applicable.
Ti so v svojem odgovoru z dne 25. februarja 2015 potrdili, da je bila shema dostopna vsem upravičencem na ustreznem območju, in to na podlagi objektivno opredeljenih pogojev.
For the reasons stated above the aid for quality products granted in the period 2000-2006 complies with the 2001 Advertising Guidelines.
S tem je bil izpolnjen pogoj iz točke 14.2 smernic za obdobje 2000–2006.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the aid was compatible with the common market.
Zato je pomoč za tehnično podporo izpolnjevala pogoje iz smernic za obdobje 2000–2006 in Komisija meni, da je bila pomoč združljiva s skupnim trgom v skladu s členom 87(3)(c) PES (zdaj člen 107(3)(c) PDEU).
STATE AID FOR QUALITY PRODUCTS IN THE PERIOD 1 JANUARY 2007 TO 31 DECEMBER 2008
TEHNIČNA PODPORA ZA SPLOŠNE PROIZVODE V OBDOBJU OD 1.
Such aid is to be assessed under Chapter IV.J of the 2007-2013 Guidelines.
JANUARJA 2000 DO 31.
AID FOR PRIMARY PRODUCERS
DECEMBRA 2004 [99]
Pursuant to point 98 of the 2007-2013 Guidelines, the Commission could declare State aid to encourage the production of quality products granted to primary producers compatible with the common market pursuant to Article 87(3)(c) EC (now: Article 107(3)(c) TFEU) if it fulfilled all the conditions of Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 [93].
Avstrijski organi so bili zato pozvani, naj predložijo potrebne informacije.
Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 stated that aid was compatible with the common market within the meaning of Article 87(3)(c) EC (now: Article 107(3)(c) TFEU) if it was granted towards the eligible costs listed in Article 14(2) and fulfilled the conditions set out in paragraphs 3 to 6 of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006.
Komisija glede pogoja iz točke 14.2 smernic za obdobje 2000–2006 o pomoči, ki je dostopna vsem upravičencem na ustreznem območju, ugotavlja, da je izpolnjen, saj so se ukrepi za tehnično podporo nanašali na splošne informacije o proizvodih.
According to Article 14(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006, aid to encourage the production of quality agricultural products could cover up to 100 % of eligible costs for, among others:
Zato so bili izpolnjeni pogoji o pomoči za zagotavljanje tehnične podpore iz smernic za obdobje 2000–2006.
market research activities, product conception and design (including the preparation of applications for the recognition of geographical indications and designations of origin or certificates of specific character); the charges levied by recognised certifying bodies for the initial certification of quality assurance and similar schemes;
Komisija meni, da je bila ta pomoč združljiva s skupnim trgom v skladu s členom 87(3)(c) PES (zdaj člen 107(3)(c) PDEU).
the introduction of quality assurance schemes such as ISO 9000 or 14000 series, systems based on hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP), traceability systems, systems to assure respect of authenticity and marketing norms or environmental audit systems;
TEHNIČNA PODPORA V OBDOBJU OD 1.
compulsory control measures undertaken pursuant to Community or national legislation by or on behalf of the competent authorities, unless Community legislation required enterprises to bear such costs;
JANUARJA 2007 DO 31.
up to the amounts laid down in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 for support concerning measures referred to in Article 32 of that Regulation.
DECEMBRA 2008
The aid could not be granted towards expenditure for investment.
V skladu s točko 103 smernic za obdobje 2007–2013 bi lahko Komisija razglasila državno pomoč za zagotavljanje tehnične podpore, ki je dodeljena primarnim proizvajalcem, za združljivo s skupnim trgom v skladu s členom 87(3)(c) PES (zdaj člen 107(3)(c) PDEU), če izpolnjuje vse pogoje iz člena 15 Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 1857/2006.
Pursuant to Article 14(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006, the aid could not be granted towards the cost of controls undertaken by the farmer or manufacturer himself, or where Community legislation provided that the cost of control was to be met by producers, without specifying the actual level of charges.
V členu 15 Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006 je navedeno, da se pomoč šteje za združljivo s skupnim trgom po členu 87(3)(c) PES (zdaj člen 107(3)(c) PDEU), če se odobri za kritje upravičenih stroškov za dejavnosti tehnične podpore iz člena 15(2) Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006 ter izpolnjuje pogoje iz člena 15(3) in (4) Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006.
The aid had to be accessible to all those eligible in the area concerned, based on objectively defined conditions.
V členu 15(2)(e) Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006 je dovoljena pomoč, povezana z razširjanjem znanstvenih dognanj in dejanskih podatkov o sistemih kakovosti za proizvode iz drugih držav (brez sklicev na posamezna podjetja, znamke ali poreklo).
Pursuant to point 100 of the 2007-2013 Guidelines, the Commission did not authorise State aid towards the costs covered in favour of large undertakings.
Člen 15(3) in (4) Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006 je dopuščal dodelitev pomoči za tehnično podporo v višini do 100 % stroškov, če so bila izpolnjena naslednja merila: pomoč se je morala dodeliti v obliki subvencioniranih storitev in ni smela vključevati neposrednih plačil v denarju proizvajalcem; pomoč je morala biti dostopna vsem upravičencem na ustreznem območju, in to na podlagi objektivno opredeljenih pogojev; če so tehnično podporo zagotavljale skupine proizvajalcev ali druge organizacije, članstvo v takih skupinah ali organizacijah ni smelo biti pogoj za dostop do storitev.
Most substantive conditions of the 2007-2013 Guidelines for the compatibility of aid for primary producers have not changed in comparison with the 2000-2006 Guidelines described above.
Vsak prispevek nečlanov za kritje upravnih stroškov zadevne skupine ali organizacije se je moral omejiti na stroške za zagotavljanje storitve.
