In their communication of 27 February 2015, the German authorities confirmed that, in principle, all milk producers in the federal state had access to the consultancy services (complex and special consultancy) in question.
Dežela Brandenburg je do konca leta 2007 subvencionirala zagotavljanje informacij o gospodarskih vprašanjih ter posredovanje na novo pridobljenih informacij in spoznanj o vprašanjih s področja mlekarstva v zvezi z zakonodajo o mleku, politiko na področju mleka, mlečnostjo in kakovostjo mleka, krmljenjem in rejo, spodbujanjem, zaščito pred živalskimi kužnimi boleznimi itd. Potekalo ni niti individualno svetovanje niti izobraževanje posameznih oseb.
Germany argued that the grants provided for part funding were fixed amounts of EUR 161,19 per farm in case of complex consultancy or EUR 144,62 per farm in case of special consultancy.
Nemčija v svojem mnenju z dne 20. septembra 2013 [15] še vedno meni, da je zgoraj navedeni ukrep združljiv z notranjim trgom.
According to the German authorities, the specified values were calculated for the year 2006, but other years' values were of a similar order.
S tem ukrepom naj bi se izboljšali učinkovitost in profesionalnost kmetijstva v Skupnosti, dolgoročno pa naj bi ukrep tako dolgoročno prispeval h gospodarski sposobnosti preživetja sektorja.
Germany also claimed that the final beneficiaries (dairy plants & milk producers) were SMEs.
Deželna tekmovanja v molži in kakovosti, ki jih organizira LVMB, je mogoče uvrstiti v četrto alineo točke 14.1. kot „prirejanje tekmovanj“.
By the end of 2007, Brandenburg had funded the provision of information on economic issues and the dissemination of newly acquired information and knowledge in industry issues related to the Milk Law, dairy policy, milk production and milk quality, animal feeding and husbandry, promotion, protection from animal diseases, etc.
Nemčija v sporočilu z dne 27. februarja 2015 trdi, da so bila na tekmovanjih odlikovana zaslužna podjetja dežele Brandenburg v zvezi s pobudo IGW, posledično pa se je z njimi seznanila širša javnost.
No advice or training was provided to individual persons.
V ta namen so bila v letu 2006 prek združenja LVMB uporabljena sredstva v višini približno 463 EUR, ki so izhajala iz dajatve na mleko [16].
The measure was delegated to the Landesvereinigung der Milchwirtschaft Brandenburg-Berlin e.
V okviru projekta združenja LBV „svetovanje za proizvajalce mleka“ je referent združenja LBV za mleko izvedel svetovanje za vse udeležene v sektorju mleka.
V.
Šlo je za sorazmerno financiranje v okviru podpore projekta iz sredstev dajatve na mleko.
(LVMB) and the Landesbauernverband Brandenburg e.V.
Pomoč ni bila omejena na določene skupine.
(LBV).
Udeležba na navedenih poklicnih tekmovanjih je bila omogočena vsem zadevnim osebam na predmetnem področju sektorja mleka.
The purpose of the measure was to improve the efficiency and professionalism of agriculture in the Community, thus contributing to the long-term economic viability of the sector.
To je vključevalo zbiranje in združevanje informacij, prenos znanja prek znanstvenih člankov ter usposabljanja za kmete in delavce na kmetijskih gospodarstvih.
State-wide milking and quality competitions organised by the LVMB were carried out in accordance with the fourth indent of point 14.1 as ‘Veranstaltung von Wettbewerben’ (organisation of competitions).
Nemčija trdi, da je bil vpliv na konkurenčne pogoje majhen [17].
In its comments dated 27 February 2015, Germany argued that the Brandenburg companies that won competitions at the International Green Week (IGW) were distinguished and thus became known to a larger share of the general public.
Iz tega izhaja, da se lahko pomoč do najvišje dovoljene stopnje 100 % odobri za kritje stroškov za natančno opisane dejavnosti, zlasti za izobraževanje in usposabljanje.
LBV organised consulting services through their milk consultants, available for all stakeholders of the dairy industry, within the framework of the project ‘Milcherzeugerberatung’ (Milk producer consultancy).
V obravnavanem primeru gre za usposabljanje za kmete v zvezi z zgoraj opisanimi temami, s čimer so bile izpolnjene zahteve iz točke 14.1 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006.
Funding was provided as co-financing from the milk levies, as part of the project funding.
Prav tako so izpolnjeni pogoji iz točke 14.2, saj je bila na podlagi objektivno določenih meril udeležba na usposabljanjih načeloma omogočena vsem fizičnim in pravnim osebam na zadevnem področju.
According to the documents submitted, LBV received a grant from the regional government amounting to EUR 20000 for this purpose in 2006.
Najvišja dovoljena meja 100000 EUR pri pomoči v višini približno 125 EUR na upravičenca v obdobju treh let ni bila prekoračena (točka 14.3).
According to the German authorities, the procedures in previous years were similar.
Dežela Hessen je finančno podporo odobrila za odnose z javnostjo v zvezi z ozaveščanjem potrošnikov o mleku in mlečnih proizvodih, vključno z njihovimi hranilnimi vrednostmi in možnostmi uporabe.
State aid was not restricted to selected groups.
Ekipa združenja LVMH za prehrano je razširjala znanstvena dognanja v splošno razumljivi obliki, organizirala informativne prireditve ter kampanje in PR-ukrepe (ki niso bili usmerjeni na posamezna podjetja) v obliki letakov, brošur, izročkov, receptov ali plakatov v zvezi s proizvodnjo mleka ter obdelavo in predelavo mleka in mlečnih proizvodov.
All persons concerned in the relevant sector of the milk industry had an equal opportunity to participate in the professional competitions.
Nemčija je v svojem mnenju z dne 20. septembra 2013 [18] trdila, da pri ukrepu HE 3 ne gre za državno pomoč, ker ni šlo za dajanje prednosti posameznim podjetjem ali proizvodnji posameznega blaga.
Therefore, the conditions laid down in point 14.2 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines were satisfied.
Pri ukrepu naj bi šlo „izključno za ozaveščanje potrošnikov“.
Hessen granted financial support to the Landesvereinigung für Milch und Milcherzeugnisse Hessen e.V.
Podredno je Nemčija navedla, da je pomoč združljiva z notranjim trgom.
(LVMH) for the measure ‘Fortbildung für Erzeuger durch das Innovationsteam’ (Training for Producers by the Innovation Team).
Ukrep bi bilo treba, če bi se v nasprotju z mnenjem Nemčije štel za pomoč, vsekakor šteti za skladnega s takratno prakso odločanja in s tem za vsebinsko skladnega z zakoni.
Under this measure, the innovation team of LVMH prepared scientific information in the context of specialist articles and training.
Ukrep ni omejen na določeno skupino, temveč na splošno podpira celotni sektor mleka.
These included the collection and bundling of information and sharing of knowledge through scientific articles as well as training for farmers and farm workers.
S tem so pogoji, navedeni v točki 14.2 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006, izpolnjeni.
Germany claimed that the effects on competition were low [17].
V skladu s točko 14.3 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006 je dovoljena pomoč za kritje stroškov v višini do 100 %.
Therefore, the aid could be granted up to a maximum rate of 100 % to cover the cost of accurately described activities, in particular training and education.
Dejanska višina subvencij je bila močno pod veljavno mejno vrednostjo 100000 EUR na upravičenca v obdobju treh let (točka 14.3 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006).
The eligible costs could include the actual cost of organising the training programme, travel and subsistence expenses together with the cost of the provision of replacement services during the absence of the farmer or the farm worker.
V deželi Hessen je bilo v obdobju 2001–2006 približno 6000 aktivnih mlečnih živinorejcev, kar v obravnavanem obdobju v povprečju pomeni približno 170 EUR na upravičenca.
This case relates to training for farmers on the abovementioned subjects and thus the requirements laid down in point 14.1 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines were satisfied.
Dežela Hessen je odobrila finančno podporo združenju LVMH za ukrep „usposabljanje za mlade mlečne živinorejce“.
The requirements laid down in point 14.2 were also satisfied as all natural and legal persons in the area concerned had, in principle, an opportunity to participate in the training, based on objectively defined criteria.
S tem ukrepom naj bi se izboljšala usposobljenost mladih mlečnih živinorejcev.
The maximum allowable limit of EUR 100000 was not exceeded as around EUR 125 was paid in aid per beneficiary over three years, in accordance with the criteria laid down in point 14.3.
Stroški, upravičeni do financiranja, so zajemali dejanske stroške organiziranja programa usposabljanja, potne stroške in dnevnice ter stroške zagotavljanja nadomeščanja med odsotnostjo kmeta ali delavcev na kmetijskem gospodarstvu.
Hessen granted financial support for public relations activities aimed at educating consumers on milk and milk products, including their nutritional values and uses.
Nemčija je v svojem mnenju z dne 20. septembra 2013 [19] trdila, da je vpliv na konkurenčne pogoje majhen.
The nutrition team of LVMH disseminated scientific knowledge in a generally understandable form, organised information events and campaigns (not directed to specific businesses), and conducted PR activities in the form of flyers, brochures, handouts, recipes or posters related to the production, treatment and processing of milk and dairy products.
Iz tega izhaja, da se lahko taka pomoč odobri do najvišje dovoljene stopnje 100 % za kritje stroškov za natančno opisane dejavnosti, zlasti za izobraževanje in usposabljanje.
In its comments dated 20 September 2013 [18], Germany claimed that measure HE 3 did not constitute a State aid because no individual undertakings or branches of production were favoured.
Opisani ukrep je mogoče uvrstiti pod točko 14.1 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006, saj gre konec koncev že po samem besedilu za tam opisano spodbujanje izobraževanja in usposabljanja.
The measure constituted ‘pure consumer education’.
Višina pomoči ob skupnih stroških v obdobju od leta 2001 do 2006 v višini približno 35000 EUR ne dosega mejnega zneska 100000 EUR na upravičenca v obdobju treh let (točka 14.3 smernic 2000–2006).
In the alternative, Germany argued that the aid was compatible with the internal market.
V zvezi s tem so bili subvencionirani stroški za najem in opremo razstavnih prostorov ter stroški objave objektivnih informacij (brošure, recepti itd.) o mleku in mlečnih proizvodih, vključno z njihovimi hranilnimi vrednostmi in možnostmi uporabe, ter o pridelavi mleka v Spodnji Saški.
If the measure were classified as State aid, contrary to the view expressed by Germany, it would, in any event, have been in accordance with the decision-making practice prevailing at the time and therefore be regarded as materially legitimate.
Ukrep je koordiniralo združenje LVMN.
The measure was not limited to a particular group, but supported the entire dairy sector in a general manner.
Tehnično izvajanje ukrepa je prevzelo združenje samo ali tretja oseba, ki jo je pooblastilo.
Thus the conditions indicated in point 14.2 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines were observed.
V zvezi s tem naj bi šlo po mnenju Nemčije za dovoljeno in s pravom Skupnosti združljivo pomoč, če so izpolnjeni tudi pogoji iz točk 14.2 in 14.3.
The actual amount of the grants was well below the applicable threshold of EUR 100000 per beneficiary within three years (point 14.3 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines).
S tem je po eni strani zagotovljeno, da je bil ukrep dostopen vsem obratom za pridelavo mleka (točka 14.2 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006) in da pomoč ni presegla zneska 100000 EUR na upravičenca v obdobju 3 let (točka 14.3 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006).
Hessen granted financial assistance to the LVMH for the measure ‘Training of young dairy farmers’.
Poleg tega je Spodnja Saška odobrila finančno podporo za udeležbe predelovalnih podjetij na sejmih.
The purpose of this measure was to improve the skills of young dairy farmers.
Nemčija je v svojem mnenju z dne 20. septembra 2013 [21] trdila, da je ukrep zajemal izključno pomoči podjetjem na področju predelave in trženja (mlekarne) za udeležbo na sejmih in razstavah.
The eligible costs included the actual cost of organising the training programme, travel and subsistence expenses together with the cost of the provision of a replacement during the absence of the farmer or the farm worker.
V zvezi s tem za presojo tega ukrepa ni merodajna peta alinea točke 14.1 (kot se domneva v sklepu Komisije o začetku postopka), temveč četrta alinea točke 14.1.
Therefore, such aid could be granted up to a maximum rate of 100 % to cover the cost of accurately described activities, in particular training and education.
Nemški organi so za upoštevno obdobje (od 1. januarja 2002 do 26. novembra 2003) [22] v svojem mnenju z dne 27. februarja 2015 trdili, da je bil ukrep NI 6 na voljo vsem podjetjem na področju predelave in trženja mlečnih proizvodov in da se je dodeljeval po objektivnih merilih.
The described measure could be classified under point 14.1 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines, as it ultimately constituted the education and training assistance described therein.
Poleg tega ukrep ni bil vezan na članstvo v organizaciji proizvajalcev ali drugi kmetijski organizaciji.
The measure included classical training in the dairy sector which was in principle open to all producers, thus satisfying the requirements laid down in point 14.2 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines.
Glede na isto mnenje je najvišja intenzivnost pomoči pri tem ukrepu znašala 48 %.
Aid covering up to 100 % of the costs is therefore permitted in those cases.
V navedenem obdobju je zgolj eno podjetje (Nordmilch eG) v okviru predmetnega ukrepa prejelo skupni znesek državne pomoči, ki je presegal 100000 EUR.
The total amount of aid granted in the period 2001-2006 was about EUR 35000, not exceeding the upper threshold of EUR 100000 per beneficiary per three-year period (see point 14.3 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines).
Po navedbah nemških organov subjekta Nordmilch eG ni mogoče opredeliti kot MSP.
(LVMN) financial support for participation in fairs and exhibitions and for the preparation of scientific information in a readily comprehensible form.
Spodnja Saška je odobrila finančno podporo za splošne informacijske ukrepe za potrošnike v zvezi z mlekom kot živilom.
In this context, subsidised costs included rent and equipment for exhibition premises as well as the cost of publication of factual information (brochures, recipes etc.) on milk and dairy products, including their nutritional values and uses, and on milk production in Lower Saxony.
Prejemnik podpore je bilo združenje LVMN, po naročilu katerega je bilo izdelano informacijsko gradivo.
The measure was coordinated by the LVMN.
Nemčija je v svojem mnenju z dne 20. septembra 2013 [23] trdila, da pri ukrepu „splošni odnosi z javnostjo“ ne gre za državno pomoč, saj ni šlo za dajanje prednosti posameznim podjetjem ali proizvodnji posameznega blaga.
The technical implementation of the measure was carried out by the association itself or by third parties commissioned by it.
Nemčija je navedla [24], da naj bi ukrep vsebinsko ustrezal določbam takrat veljavnih smernic Skupnosti in da se lahko načeloma obravnava kot zagotavljanje strokovne podpore v skladu s točko 14.1 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006, saj je namenjen splošnemu razširjanju aktualnih znanstvenih dognanj ter splošnemu posredovanju informacij o lastnostih mleka in mlečnih proizvodov.
In its comments dated 20 September 2013 [20], Germany argued that the measure was governed by the fourth indent (organisation of competitions, exhibitions and fairs) of point 14.1. of the 2000-2006 Guidelines.
Po navedbah Nemčije celoten ukrep ni bil omejen na določeno skupino, temveč je na splošno podpiral celotni sektor mleka.
The main component of the measure was subsidising the exhibition stand of the LVMN.
S tem so bili pogoji, navedeni v točki 14.2 smernic Skupnosti 2000–2006 izpolnjeni.
In this respect, the aid measure was considered acceptable and compatible with EU law, in Germany's opinion, if it additionally fulfilled the requirements contained in points 14.2 and 14.3.
Po navedbah Nemčije je vrednost subvencije močno pod mejno vrednostjo iz točke 14.3 v višini 100000 EUR na upravičenca v obdobju treh let.
Lower Saxony expressed the view that the relevant requirements were satisfied, since all dairy farms had benefited from the measure (2001-2006 average: around 17500 farms).
Če izhajamo iz tega, da je bilo v zgoraj navedenem obdobju v Spodnji Saški v povprečju približno 17500 proizvajalcev mleka in da skupna vrednost znaša približno 6,9 milijona EUR, je bilo za ukrep NI 7 v celotnem obdobju dodeljenih približno 395 EUR na upravičenca.
This was achieved, on the one hand, by ensuring that all dairy farms had access to the measure (point 14.2 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines) and by ensuring that the aid did not exceed EUR 100000 per beneficiary within 3 years (point 14.3 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines).
NW 4 in NW 5
NI 6 (2001-2003)
Dežela Severno Porenje – Vestfalija je odobrila finančno podporo za informativne prireditve in akcije splošnega ozaveščanja potrošnikov ter akcije v zvezi z uporabo mleka in mlečnih proizvodov, pa tudi z njihovimi splošnimi lastnostmi (podukrep NW 4).
Lower Saxony also granted financial support for the participation of processing undertakings in fairs.
Dežela Severno Porenje – Vestfalija je poleg tega odobrila finančno podporo za prireditve za izmenjavo znanja med proizvajalci mleka v zvezi z vprašanji s področja mlekarstva (podukrep NW 5).
Germany claimed that the aid granted in the period between 2001-2006 was in accordance with the requirements contained in point 14.1 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines.
Subvencionirani so bili stroški za organizacijo in izvedbo prireditev, svetovanje in ozaveščanje ter usposabljanja v zvezi z vprašanji mlekarstva.
From 26 November 2003, the measure was based on approved State aid No 200/2003, which was in force until 31 December 2008, with a maximum aid intensity of 50 % or a maximum aid amount of EUR 70000 per beneficiary over a three-year period.
Intenzivnost pomoči je znašala do 30 %.
In its comments of 20 September 2013 [21], Germany argued that the measure provided aid only to enterprises active in processing and marketing (dairy plants) for their participation in fairs and exhibitions.
Nemčija je v svojem mnenju z dne 20. septembra 2013 [25] trdila, da pri ukrepih NW 4 in NW 5 ne gre za dajanje prednosti posameznim podjetjem ali proizvodnji posameznega blaga, saj sta bila ta ukrepa namenjena splošni javnosti.
That being the case, the evaluation of this measure was not governed by the fifth indent of point 14.1 (as assumed in the Opening Decision of the Commission), but by the fourth indent of point 14.1.
Iz tega izhaja, da teh dveh ukrepov tudi ni mogoče šteti za tehnično podporo.
Based on this, aid granted in the period 2001-2003 was regarded as compatible with the internal market.
Poleg tega pri nobenem od ukrepov morebitne ugodnosti niso vsebinsko in geografsko selektivne.
In their comments dated 27 February 2015, the German authorities warrant that measure NI 6 was open to all companies active in the area of processing and marketing of dairy products in the relevant period (1 January 2002-26 November 2003 [22]) and was awarded according to objective criteria.
Nemški organi v svojem mnenju z dne 27. februarja 2015 navajajo, da so skupni letni izdatki za ukrep NW 4 v obdobju 2001–2006 znašali od 335200 EUR do 497800 EUR.
Moreover, the measure was independent from membership in producer or other agricultural organisations.
Če je bilo v istem obdobju približno 10000 obratov mlečne živinoreje, to pomeni med 33,52 EUR in 49,78 EUR na upravičenca letno.
Only one company (Nordmilch eG) received a total amount of aid in excess of EUR 100000 under the measure in the period in question.
Dežela Severno Porenje – Vestfalija je odobrila finančno podporo za zbiranje pomembnih podatkov, ki so prispevali k preglednosti trga.
According to the German authorities, Nordmilch eG did not fall within the definition of an SME.
Upravičeni so bili stroški za zbiranje, ovrednotenje in objavo ustreznih podatkov o trgu mleka, ki so nastali združenju mlečne industrije LVMNRW.
They were therefore looking into recovering this individual aid.
Rezultati so bili objavljeni kot sporočila in tržna poročila, na voljo pa so bili vsem in brezplačno.
Lower Saxony granted financial support for general consumer information campaigns on the use of milk as a foodstuff.
Prispevali so k preglednosti trga, namenjeni pa so bili dajanju objektivnih in znanstvenih informacij ter izmenjavi znanja med podjetji v sektorju mleka.
The beneficiary was the LVMN, on whose behalf the information material was created.
Nemčija je v svojem mnenju z dne 20. septembra 2013 [26] trdila, da ta ukrep ni vsebinsko in geografsko selektiven.
In its comments dated 20 September 2013 [23], Germany claimed that the measure ‘general public relations activities’ did not constitute a State aid because no individual undertakings or branches of production were favoured.
Podredno je bilo navedeno, da so bile upoštevane zahteve smernic Skupnosti glede združljivosti.
Germany argued [24] that the measure materially complied with the requirements of the Guidelines applicable at the time and could essentially be considered as provision of technical assistance in accordance with point 14.1 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines, as its purpose was the general dissemination of scientific knowledge and information about the properties of milk and dairy products.
Upravičenci so kmetje, skupine proizvajalcev in vsi udeleženci v sektorju mleka [27].
According to Germany, the measure was not limited to a particular group, but supported the entire dairy sector in a general manner.
Nemčija v svojem mnenju z dne 27. februarja 2015 navaja, da so skupni letni izdatki za ukrep NW 6 v obdobju 2001–2006 znašali od 139400 EUR do 155900 EUR.
As a consequence, the conditions laid down in point 14.2 of the 2000-2006 Guidelines were met.
Če je bilo v istem obdobju približno 10000 obratov mlečne živinoreje, to pomeni od 13,94 EUR do 15,59 EUR na upravičenca letno.
According to Germany, the amount of aid granted was well below the upper threshold of EUR 100000 per beneficiary within three years, laid down in point 14.3.
RP 1 in SL 2
Considering an average of about 17500 milk producers in Lower Saxony in the period indicated above and a total amount of approximately EUR 6,9 million earmarked for measure NI 7 in the entire period, around EUR 395 of aid was paid per beneficiary.
Deželi Porenje – Pfalška in Posarje sta finančno podporo odobrili za obveščanje potrošnikov, vključno z razširjanjem znanstvenih dognanj v splošno razumljivi obliki, za splošne objektivne informacije o proizvodih, njihovih hranilnih vrednostih in priporočeni uporabi.
NW 4 and NW 5
Upravičeni so bili stroški za udeležbo na sejmih in razstavah, potni stroški, stroški za objave, najemnine na razstavah, simbolične nagrade v vrednosti do 250 EUR za posamezno nagrado in nagrajenca.
North Rhine-Westphalia granted financial support for informative events and measures to raise general awareness amongst consumers and measures regarding the use of milk and dairy products and their general characteristics (sub-measure NW 4).
Oglaševalski ukrepi [28] ali ukrepi, namenjeni proizvodom posameznih podjetij, so bili iz financiranja izključeni.
The grant recipients were Landesvereinigung der Milchwirtschaft Nordrhein-Westfalen e.V.
Po mnenju Nemčije so ti ukrepi „izključno ozaveščanje potrošnikov“.
(LVMNRW) and Landwirtschaftsverbände Rheinland und Westfalen-Lippe.
Iz prakse odločanja Komisije v letih 2000–2006, ki se je izvajala na različnih področjih proizvodov in za različne države članice, izhaja, da Komisija izvajanje ukrepov, primerljivih s tu obravnavanimi, v navedenem obdobju šteje za vsebinsko skladno z zakoni in upravičeno.
North Rhine-Westphalia granted further financial support for events related to the exchange of knowledge between milk producers on dairy industry issues (sub-measure NW 5).
Dalje je Nemčija navedla, da bi bilo treba ukrepa RP 1 in SL 2, če bi se v nasprotju z mnenjem Nemčije štela za pomoč, vsekakor šteti za skladna s takratno prakso odločanja in s tem za vsebinsko skladna z zakoni.
