The costs of event organisation and management, consultation, education and training related to issues of the dairy industry were subsidised.
Po navedbah Nemčije celotni ukrepi „splošni odnosi z javnostjo“ niso bili omejeni na določeno skupino, temveč so na splošno podpirali celotni sektor mleka.
Aid intensity amounted to up to 30 %.
V skladu s točko 14.3 se lahko s subvencijami zagotovi kritje stroškov do 100 %.
In its comments dated 20 September 2013 [25], Germany argued that no favouring of individual companies or sectors occurred under measures NW 4 and NW 5 since they were aimed at the general public.
Nemčija je v sporočilu z dne 27. februarja 2015 trdila, da je bil odobreni skupni znesek pomoči za obdobje treh let pod zgornjo mejo 100000 EUR na upravičenca, kar pomeni od 46 EUR do 73 EUR na leto in na upravičenca [30].
As a consequence, these measures cannot be considered as a form of technical assistance.
RP 5 in SL 5
With some 10000 businesses holding dairy cattle over the same period, an annual amount between EUR 33,52 and EUR 49,78 was earmarked per beneficiary.
Stalne storitve svetovanja so bile iz financiranja izključene.
North Rhine-Westphalia granted financial support for the collection of relevant data that contributed to market transparency.
Cilj ukrepov je bil, da se zadevnim proizvajalcem mleka po ugotovitvi težav (npr. povečanje števila somatskih celic) v okviru preverjanja kakovosti dobavljenega mleka priložnostno ponudijo specialno svetovanje o tehnikah molže ter ustrezni koncepti svetovanja in usposabljanja ob udeležbi veterinarjev za izboljšanje zdravstvenega stanja vimen in s tem kakovosti surovega mleka.
Costs incurred by the Vereinigung der Milchindustrie LVMNRW during the collection, analysis and publication of relevant data related to the dairy market were eligible for funding.
Ta ponudba je bila na voljo vsem proizvajalcem mleka v deželah Porenje – Pfalška oziroma Posarje.
The results were made public in the form of notices and market reports and were available free of charge to everyone.
Članstvo v združenju LKVRP oziroma LVMS ni bilo potrebno.
They contributed to the transparency of the market and promoted the sharing of factual and scientific information and knowledge between different businesses in the dairy sector.
Financiranje stalnih storitev svetovanja ali storitev svetovanja, ki se koristijo v rednih časovnih intervalih (npr. davčno svetovanje ali pravna pomoč, oglaševanje), je bilo izključeno.
In its comments of 20 September 2013 [26], Germany claimed that the measure was not substantively or geographically selective.
Nemčija trdi, da zato gre za subvencionirano storitev.
In the alternative, Germany argued that the compatibility requirements of the Guidelines had been met.
Neposredna plačila kmetom se niso izvajala.
The beneficiaries were farmers, producer groups and all stakeholders in the dairy sector [27].
Po mnenju dežele Porenje – Pfalška subvencioniranje svetovanja po tretji alinei točke 14.1 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006 ni vezano na razširjanje novih metod.
In its comments of 27 February 2015, Germany estimates the range of total annual expenditure under measure NW 6 in the period 2001-2006 to be between EUR 139400 and EUR 155900.
Pogoji iz točk 14.2 in 14.3 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006 so po mnenju Nemčije izpolnjeni, saj članstvo v združenju LKVRP ali pri ponudniku svetovanja ni potrebno.
With some 10000 businesses holding dairy cattle over the same period, an annual amount between EUR 13,94 and 15,59 was earmarked per beneficiary.
Glede na zagotovljena letna sredstva v deželi Porenje – Pfalška v višini približno 59000 EUR in v deželi Posarje v višini približno 13000 EUR je povprečna subvencija na upravičenca znašala približno 197 EUR v deželi Porenje – Pfalška in 130 EUR v deželi Posarje.
Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland granted financial support for the dissemination of consumer information, including scientific knowledge in a generally understandable form, generic factual information on products, their nutritional benefits and suggested uses.
TH 3 in TH 4
Costs of participation in fairs and exhibitions, travel expenses, publication costs, rent paid for exhibition spaces, symbolic prizes worth up to EUR 250 per prize and winner were eligible for funding.
Turingija je finančno podporo odobrila za udeležbo združenja Landesvereinigung Thüringer Milch e.V.
Promotional activities [28] or measures aimed at the products of particular companies were excluded from funding.
(LVTM) na strokovnih in potrošniških razstavah (prireditev Grüne Tage Thüringen) ter strokovne kongrese, ki jih je združenje LVTM izvedlo za razširjanje znanstvenih informacij (prireditev Thüringer Milchtag) (podukrep TH 3).
The coordination and technical implementation of the measure was carried out by Milchwirtschaftliche Arbeitsgemeinschaft Rheinland-Pfalz e.V.
Poleg tega je bila financirana objava objektivnih informacij o proizvajalcih iz regije (splošni odnosi z javnostjo, mednarodni dan mleka ali mlečna kraljica Turingije) (podukrep TH 4).
(MILAG) and the Landesvereinigung der Milchwirtschaft des Saarlandes e.V.
Upravičeni so bili materialni stroški in stroški osebja.
(LVMS).
Prejemnik pomoči je bilo združenje LVTM.
(88) In its comments dated 20 September 2013 [29], Germany claimed that these measures did not constitute State aid because no individual undertakings or branches of production were favoured.
Nemčija je v svojem mnenju z dne 20. septembra 2013 [32] navedla, da je treba ukrep TH 3 šteti za združljiv z notranjim trgom (točka 14.1. smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006).
According to the German position, these measures constitute ‘pure consumer education’.
S tem ukrepom naj bi se izboljšali učinkovitost in profesionalnost kmetijstva v Skupnosti, dolgoročno pa naj bi tako ukrep prispeval h gospodarski sposobnosti preživetja sektorja.
The decision-making practice of the Commission in the period 2000-2006 across several product areas and Member States indicated that the introduction of measures which were comparable with the measures at issue here was considered to be materially legal and approvable by the Commission in the abovementioned period.
Odobreni znesek pomoči na upravičenca v obdobju treh let ni presegal 100000 EUR.
In accordance with point 14.3, the subsidies could cover up to 100 % of the costs.
Prireditve z multiplikativnim učinkom, ki razširjajo nove metode in spoznanja, je mogoče uvrstiti pod peto alineo (druge aktivnosti za razširjanje novih metod).
In its communication of 27 February 2015, Germany argued that State aid granted over a period of three years under the ceiling of EUR 100000 per beneficiary amounted to a sum between EUR 46 and EUR 73 per year per beneficiary [30].
Celoten ukrep ni omejen na določeno skupino, temveč na splošno podpiral celotni sektor mleka (točka 14.2 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006).
RP 5 and SL 5
Odobreni znesek pomoči na upravičenca v obdobju treh let ni presegel 100000 EUR.
Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland granted financial support for consulting and training programmes for milk producers to improve the hygiene of milking equipment and the quality of the delivered milk (sub-measures RP 5 and SL 5).
TH 9 in TH 10
Proven consultancy costs were subsidised up to a maximum of EUR 75000 per year in Rhineland-Palatinate and up to EUR 15000 per year in the Saarland.
Turingija je finančno podporo odobrila za usposabljanje zaposlenih v mlekarskih obratih (podukrep TH 9) in za spodbujanje poklicnih tekmovanj (podukrep TH 10).
Ongoing advisory services were excluded from the subsidy.
Ukrepi usposabljanja so bili namenjeni zaposlenim v mlekarskih obratih, njihov cilj pa je bil izboljšati usposobljenost kmetijskih delavcev (dokazilo o strokovnem znanju „pridelava mleka“).
The coordination and the technical implementation of these measures was carried out by the Landeskontrollverband Rheinland-Pfalz e.V.
Izvajanje ukrepa je vodilo združenje Verein Landvolksbildung Thüringen (VLT).
(LKVRP) and the LVMS.
Drugi ukrep je financiral izvedbo poklicnih tekmovanj na področjih vzreje živali in pridelave mleka.
In its comments of 20 September 2013 [31], Germany claimed that the special consultancy on milking technology and the measures for the improvement of the quality of raw milk in Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland were compatible with the internal market in the period of 2001-2006.
Nemčija je v svojem mnenju z dne 20. septembra 2013 [34] v zvezi s podukrepom TH 9 trdila, da so bili ukrepi usposabljanja namenjeni zaposlenim v obratih, ki redijo krave mlekarice.
The aim of the measures was to offer specialist consulting in the field of milk technology and provide related advice and training for milk producers chosen on an ad hoc basis after problems (such as increased somatic cells) have been identified in the context of quality inspections of the delivered milk, with the involvement of veterinarians to improve udder health and thus the quality of raw milk.
Nosilec ukrepov usposabljanja je združenje Verein Landvolkbildung Thüringen.
Membership in LKVRP or LVMS was not necessary.
Zato je Nemčija vztrajala pri mnenju, da ni podan dejanski stan državne pomoči v skladu s členom 107 PDEU.
Consulting services that were ongoing or were called upon at regular intervals (such as tax and legal advice or advertising) were not eligible for funding.
Tudi v zvezi s ponudbo usposabljanja za zaposlene prav tako ni podan dejanski stan državne pomoči v skladu s členom 107 PDEU, saj ne gre za plačila, ki se nanašajo na podjetja.
Germany argues that it thus constitutes a subsidised service.
Na podlagi objektivno določenih meril naj bi bila udeležba na usposabljanjih zgoraj opisanega tipa omogočena vsem zadevnim osebam, dejavnim na ustreznem območju.
According to the views expressed by Rhineland-Palatinate, consulting assistance pursuant to the third indent of point 14.1 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines is not dependent on the dissemination of new methodologies.
Skupna vrednost pomoči v okviru tega podukrepa v treh letih ni presegla 100000 EUR.
Such an obligation unquestionably applies to the promotion of ‘other activities for the dissemination of new methods’, in accordance with the fifth indent of point 14.1 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines.
Dalje je Nemčija v svojem mnenju z dne 20. septembra 2013 [35] v zvezi s podukrepom TH 10 trdila, da sta bili s tem ukrepom financirani organizacija in izvedba poklicnih tekmovanj na področjih vzreje živali in pridelave mleka.
In addition, consulting services that were ongoing or were called upon at regular intervals were expressly excluded from funding under this measure.
Nosilec tekmovanj je združenje TLJV oziroma TMG.
The conditions laid down in points 14.2 and 14.3 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines are fulfilled, according to the views expressed by Germany, since membership of LKVRP or the service provider is not necessary.
Ti sta za organizacijo in izvedbo oziroma udeležbo na prireditvah nad ravnjo dežel prejeli nadomestilo, izračunano po tržnih pogojih.
Germany gave assurances that the total aid amount of EUR 100000 per beneficiary over a period of three years was not exceeded.
Ker se izplačila obravnavajo kot plačilo storitev, ki ustrezajo enakovrednim stroškom, ne gre za dajanje prednosti in tudi ne za upoštevnost z vidika zakonodaje o državni pomoči.
About 300 milk producers were advised in Rhineland-Palatinate per year and about 100 in Saarland.
Podredno je bilo navedeno, da so pri tem ukrepu izpolnjeni pogoji iz četrte alinee točke 14 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006.
Given an annual appropriation of about EUR 59000 in Rhineland-Palatinate and about EUR 13000 in Saarland, the average funding per beneficiary is around EUR 197 in Rhineland-Palatinate and EUR 130 in Saarland.
Na podlagi objektivno določenih meril je bila udeležba na poklicnih tekmovanjih zgoraj opisanega tipa omogočena vsem zadevnim osebam na ustreznem območju.
The beneficiaries were farmers (SMEs) and producer associations.
Iz tega sledi, da so pogoji iz točke 14.2 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006 izpolnjeni.
TH 3 and TH 4
Najvišja dovoljena meja v skladu s točko 14.3 smernic Skupnosti v višini 100000 EUR na upravičenca na triletno obdobje ni bila prekoračena.
In addition, the publication of factual information about producers from the region was also subsidised (general public relations, International Day of Milk and Thüringer Milchkönigin) (sub-measure TH 4).
Financiranje ni bilo omejeno na prvo udeležbo podjetja na določenem sejmu ali razstavi.
Material and personnel costs were both eligible for aid.
Intenzivnost pomoči je bila omejena na 10 % dokazanih stroškov, toda največ 5200 EUR na podjetje in prireditev.
The beneficiary was LVTM.
V skladu s točko 105 smernic Skupnosti o državni pomoči v kmetijskem in gozdarskem sektorju 2007–2013 [36] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: „smernice 2007–2013“) morajo državne pomoči za zagotavljanje tehnične podpore v korist podjetij, dejavnih na področjih predelave in trženja kmetijskih proizvodov, izpolnjevati vse pogoje iz člena 5 Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 70/2001 [37], ki ga je pozneje nadomestil člen 27(3) Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 800/2008 [38].
In its comments of 20 September 2013 [32], Germany argued that measure TH 3 should be considered compatible with the internal market (point 14.1 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines).
Temu ustrezno intenzivnost pomoči ne sme preseči 50 % upravičenih stroškov.
Its purpose was to improve the efficiency and professionalism of agriculture in the Community, thus contributing to the long-term economic viability of the sector.
Upravičeni stroški so stroški, ki nastanejo zaradi najema, postavljanja in upravljanja stojnice, ko se podjetje prvič udeleži določenega sejma ali razstave.
Participation in trade shows and consumer exhibitions representing the Thuringian dairy industry (e.g. Grüne Tage Thüringen) was governed by the fourth indent of point 14.1, ‘Organisation of Competitions, Exhibitions and Fairs’.
Ker Nemčija ni dokazala, da je izpolnjen vsak od zgoraj navedenih pogojev za tehnično podporo v zvezi s tem ukrepom, je Komisija v sklepu o začetku postopka izrazila dvom o njihovi združljivosti z notranjim trgom.
Germany argued that the measure was not limited to a particular group, but served to support the entire dairy sector in a general manner (see point 14.2 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines).
Nemčija je bila v sklepu o začetku postopka pozvana, naj predloži izčrpno oceno posameznih ukrepov ob upoštevanju zgoraj navedenih meril in ustrezne dokumente, ki bodo podprli njene odgovore [39].
Earmarked aid did not exceed EUR 100000 per beneficiary over a three-year period.
Nemčija je v svojem mnenju z dne 20. septembra 2013 [40] pojasnila, da dežela Porenje – Pfalška upošteva pomisleke Komisije in da je določbe o subvencioniranju za prihodnje subvencije dopolnila s pogojem, da se sme financirati le prva udeležba podjetja na določenem sejmu ali razstavi.
In its comments dated 20 September 2013 [33], Germany also argued that measure TH 4 focused on ‘general public relations’.
Nemčija trdi, da so s tem izpolnjeni pogoji iz oddelka IV.
Its purpose was the broad dissemination of up-to-date scientific findings related to the properties of milk and dairy products and therefore constituted a form of technical assistance within the meaning of point 14.1 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines.
K smernic 2007–2013 v povezavi s členom 15(2) Uredbe (ES) št. 1857/2006 [41].
The activities of the Landesvereinigung Thüringer Milch e.V. could be classified as consulting fees under the scope of the third indent of point 14.1 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines.
Nemški organi so ob upoštevanju tega dodatnega pogoja na novo ovrednotili podprte projekte.
Spending on stands and consumer campaigns at trade fairs could be assigned under the fourth indent of point 14.1 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines (organisation of competitions, exhibitions and fairs).
V posameznih letih so se na ponovno udeležbo podjetja na določenem sejmu ali razstavi nanašala naslednja plačila.
Multiplier events disseminating new methods and findings could be assigned under the fifth indent (other activities for the dissemination of new methods).
Leto
The measure as a whole was not limited to a particular group, but benefited the entire dairy sector in a general manner (point 14.2 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines).
Število
The amount of aid granted per beneficiary did not exceed EUR 100000 over a period of three years.
Znesek v EUR
TH 9 and TH 10
Zvezno ministrstvo za prehrano in kmetijstvo je 30. junija 2016 Komisiji sporočilo (glej točko 16), da ukrep RP 2 v obdobju od leta 2007 naprej ni bil omejen na MSP.
Thuringia granted financial support for the training of employees in dairy farms (sub-measure TH 9) and for the promotion of professional competitions (sub-measure TH 10).
V okviru tega ukrepa sta pomoč prejeli tudi podjetji Hochwald Foods GmbH in MUH Arla eG.
The training courses were aimed at workers on dairy farms and aimed at improving the skills of agricultural workers (certificate of competence in ‘milking’).
Nemčija je v svojem mnenju z dne 13. januarja 2017 pojasnila, da so se upravičeni stroški predmetnega podukrepa v obdobju od leta 2007 naprej nanašali izključno na postavitev sejemske stojnice.
The measure was coordinated by the Verein Landvolksbildung Thüringen (VLT).
Drugi stroški v tem obdobju niso bili financirani.
The second measure funded the organisation of professional competitions in the fields of breeding and milking.
Pomoč za izboljšanje kakovosti dobavljenega mleka (2001–2006)
The competitions were organised by Thüringer Landjugendverband e.V.
Dežele Baden-Württemberg, Spodnja Saška in Turingija (podukrepi BW 10, BW 11, NI 1 in TH 5) so finančno podporo odobrile za izboljšanje kakovosti dobavljenega mleka s svetovanjem in izobraževanjem proizvajalcev mleka, oblikovanje in posodabljanje podatkovnih baz ter preverjanj proizvajalcev mleka v povezavi z uvedbo sistemov zagotavljanja kakovosti „upravljanje kakovosti mleka“ (QM-Milch) [42].
(TLJV) and Thüringer Melkergemeinschaft e.V.
Cilj ukrepov je bil izboljšati kakovost dobavljenega mleka.
(TMG).
Financirana niso bila niti izobraževanja kontrolnega osebja za pridobitev specifičnih strokovnih znanj niti akreditacija odobrenih laboratorijev.
As part of the measure, the preparation and running of competitions and participation in transregional competitions were subsidised.
Končni upravičenci teh podukrepov so bila kmetijska mala in srednja podjetja za pridelavo mleka v primarnem sektorju.
In its comments of 20 September 2013 [34], Germany claimed that training under sub-measure TH 9 was aimed at employees working at dairy cow farms.
Po podatkih Nemčije je bila pomoč na podlagi objektivno določenih meril na voljo vsem kmetom na ustreznem območju [43].
Training was carried out by Verein Landvolkbildung Thüringen.
Proračunska sredstva, porabljena v obdobju 2001–2011 (seštevek vseh zveznih dežel), so znašala skupno 3,3 milijona EUR.
Payments were to be classified as a service fee paid to the association in return for services actually provided, calculated and reimbursed at market rates.
V sklepu o začetku postopka je bila Nemčija pozvana, naj predloži izčrpno oceno v skladu s smernicami Skupnosti 2000–2006 (predvsem točka 13.2 – največ 50 % upravičenih stroškov ali 100000 EUR na upravičenca v obdobju treh let, odvisno od tega, kateri znesek je višji) [44].
Germany thus maintained its view that the State aid conditions pursuant to Article 107 TFEU are not met.
BW 10 in BW 11
State aid conditions pursuant to Article 107 TFEU were similarly not met with regard to the training offer to employees either, since the payments were not company-specific.
Nemčija je v svojem mnenju z dne 20. septembra 2013 [45] trdila, da sta te ukrepe izvajali združenji Milchprüfring Baden-Württemberg (BW 10) in Milchwirtschaftlicher Verein Baden-Württemberg (BW 11).
In the alternative, it was argued that the requirements laid down in point 14 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines for this measure were satisfied.
Po podatkih Nemčije so bili upravičenci ukrepa kmetijski obrati za pridelavo mleka (proizvajalci mleka), ki so se vključili v sistem zagotavljanja kakovosti QM-Milch.
This case relates to training for farmers on the abovementioned subjects and thus the requirements laid down in the first indent of point 14.1 were satisfied.
V primeru ukrepa BW 10 je izvedbo pregledov pri obratih za pridelavo mleka [46] in stroške prvega certificiranja (uvodni pregled kmetije, po potrebi naknadni pregled) financiral priznani certifikacijski organ.
All persons who were active in the area concerned had the opportunity to participate in further training of the type described above, on the basis of objectively defined criteria.
V primeru ukrepa BW 11 so bile financirane spremljajoče naloge obveščanja in svetovanja v povezavi z uvedbo sistemov zagotavljanja kakovosti [47].
The maximum allowable limit of EUR 100000 per beneficiary per three-year period was not exceeded (point 14.3).
Po podatkih Nemčije se te storitve sorazmerno prištejejo proizvajalcem ob vstopu v sistem zagotavljanja kakovosti QM-Milch.
Rather, the cumulative amount of aid under this sub-measure did not exceed EUR 100000 over three years.
Po podatkih Nemčije so skupni stroški znašali 478575 EUR.
In its comments of 20 September 2013 [35], Germany also argued in connection with sub-measure TH 10 that the organisation and running of professional competitions in the fields of animal breeding and milk production had been financed under this measure.
V okviru vstopa v sistem zagotavljanja kakovosti v povezavi s prvim certificiranjem je bilo upravičenih 4500 proizvajalcev mleka.
The competitions were organised by TLJV and TMG.
Stroški na upravičenca so temu ustrezno znašali 106 EUR.
The organisers received standard market-calculated fees for the organisation and execution of, or participation in, transregional events.
Spodnja Saška je finančno podporo odobrila za uvedbo sistema zagotavljanja kakovosti za proizvajalce mleka (ne za podjetja za predelavo in trženje).
As the payments are considered service fees to be offset against equivalent expenses, there was no favourable treatment and hence no legal relevance with respect to State aid.
Izvajanje ukrepa je bilo preneseno na združenje LVMN.
In the alternative, it was argued that the requirements laid down in the fourth indent of point 14 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines for this measure were satisfied.
Po navedbah iz mnenja Nemčije z dne 20. septembra 2013 [48] so bili pri tem v letih 2001–2005 financirani pripravljalni ukrepi za uvedbo sistema zagotavljanja kakovosti QM-Milch (predvsem storitve svetovanja za kmete, ki so želeli uvesti standard QM-Milch), od leta 2003 naprej pa pregledi kmetij, predvideni v okviru tega sistema zagotavljanja kakovosti.
All persons who were active in the area concerned had the opportunity to participate in professional competitions of the type described above, on the basis of objectively defined criteria.
Poleg tega so bili od leta 2003 naprej vključeni tudi stroški za koordinacijo sistema zagotavljanja kakovosti in vzpostavitev podatkovne baze.
Therefore, the conditions laid down in point 14.2 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines were satisfied.
Nemčija je potrdila, da so kontrole v okviru pregledov kmetij izvajale tretje osebe oziroma so bile izvedene v imenu tretjih oseb.
The maximum allowable limit of EUR 100000 per beneficiary per three-year period laid down in point 14.3 of the Guidelines was not exceeded.
Neodvisna kontrolna institucija je bilo deželno kontrolno združenje Spodnje Saške Landeskontrollverband Niedersachsen.
Technical assistance from 2007 onwards
Ukrep je bil uveden v letu 2004 [50].
Rhineland-Palatinate granted financial support to processing and marketing companies for their participation in events to share knowledge between businesses, competitions, exhibitions and fairs (sub-measure RP 2).
Izvajanje ukrepa je bilo preneseno na združenje Thüringer Verband für Leistungs- und Qualitätsprüfungen in der Tierzucht (TVLEV).
Aid intensity was limited to 10 % of proven costs, but not more than EUR 5200 per business and event.
V obdobju 2004–2006 so bili proizvajalci subvencionirani samo v okviru prvega certificiranja.
