On the 5th July, the Commission approved state aid of approximately EUR 325 million granted within the framework of the public service system for rendering (service public d’équarrissage) for the storage and destruction of meat meals and for the transport and destruction of fallen stock and animal waste in 2003(307).
Komisija je 5. julija odobrila državno pomoč v višini okoli 325 milijonov EUR, dodeljeno v okviru sistema javne storitve uničevanja trupov mrtvih živali (service public d’équarrissage) za skladiščenje in uničenje mesne moke ter za prevoz in uničenje poginulih živali in živalskih odpadkov v letu 2003(307).
At the same time the Commission decided to open the formal investigation procedure provided for in Article 88(2) concerning aid granted to certain meat traders, consisting of an exemption from the rendering tax in 2003.
Hkrati se je Komisija odločila za uvedbo formalnega postopka preiskave iz člena 88(2) v zvezi s pomočjo, odobreno za

the rendering tax (taxe d’équarrissage)(
Takšno stališče je v skladu s tistim, ki ga je Komisija oblikovala v svoji odločbi iz decembra 2004 o davku na uničevanje trupel mrtvih živali (taxe d’équarrissage)(308).
On the 20th July, the Commission opened a formal investigation into potentially illegal state aid granted by France between 1991 and 2002 in the fruit and vegetable sector(309). e aid was granted by means of yearly ‘contingency plans’ (plans de campagne).
Komisija je 20. julija uvedla formalno preiskavo o morebitni nezakoniti državni pomoči, ki jo je Francija med letoma 1991 in 2002 dodelila v sektorju sadja in zelenja-ve(309). Pomoč je bila dodeljena z letnimi „ukrepi ob nepredvidljivih dogodkih“ (plans de campagne).
Support would seem to have been as high as EUR 50 million per year.
Zdi se, da naj bi pomoč znašala kar 50 milijonov EUR na leto.
On the 6th September, the Commission decided not to raise objections to state aid of approximately EUR 1.41 million granted via subsidised loans to producer groups to accompany restructuring measures in the banana sector(310). e aid, granted to producer groups in nancial diculty, did not meet the conditions laid down in EU legislation for restructuring aid, since the amounts involved were too small for a full-blown restructuring of the banana sector, and the measures envisaged (improved concentration of supply) could not be construed as a credible restructuring plan. e Commission authorised this support as operating aid, using the special legal basis for those regions in which the aid was granted, which allows operating aid to be granted to compensate for the combination of handicaps which seriously hinder economic development in ul-tra-peripheral regions.
Komisija se je 6. septembra odločila, da ne bo nasprotovala državni pomoči v višini okoli 1,41 milijona EUR, ki je bila preko subvencioniranih posojil dodeljena skupinam proizvajalcev za spremljanje ukrepov prestrukturiranja v sektorju pridelave ba-nan(310).
Aid for the protection of livestock against attacks by predators (Tuscany, Italy)
Pomoč, dodeljena skupinam proizvajalcev v finančnih težavah, ni izpolnjevala pogojev, določenih v zakonodaji EU o pomoči za prestrukturiranje, ker so bili zadevni zneski prenizki za celovito prestrukturiranje sektorja banan, predvidenih ukrepov (povečana koncentracija dobave) pa ni bilo mogoče razumeti v smislu zanesljivega načrta prestrukturiranja.
III — State aid control abortions due to attacks by predators.
III – Nadzor državnih pomoči
On the 7th June, the Commission adopted a decision not to raise objections to a new framework law for state aid of approximately EUR 100 million per year towards the compensation of farmers for various losses due to bad weather(312). e new law will establish a coherent legal basis for future bad weather compensation financed by central government.
Komisija je 7. junija sprejela odločbo, da ne bo nasprotovala novemu okvirnemu zakonu o državni pomoči v višini okoli 100 milijonov EUR na leto, namenjenemu za plačilo nadomestil kmetom za različne izgube zaradi neugodnih vremenskih razmer(312). Novi zakon bo vzpostavil jasno pravno podlago za prihodnja nadomestila ob neugodnih vremenskih razmerah, ki jih financira centralna država.
Holland Malt (Netherlands)(
Holland Malt (Nizozemska)(
On the 3rd May, the Commission decided to open a formal investigation into the planned subsidising in the Dutch malt sector of an investment project by Holland Malt BV (a collaborative venture between Bavaria NV and Agrirm, a cereal farmers cooperative) relating to the establishment of a production plant. e whole chain of storage and processing of malting barley and the production of and trade in malt would be integrated.
Komisija se je 3. maja odločila za uvedbo formalne preiskave o načrtovani subvenciji v nizozemskem sektorju slada za naložbeni projekt Holland Malt BV (sodelovanje med Bavaria NV in Agrirm, kooperacijo pridelovalcev žita), ki se nanaša na ustanovitev proizvodnega obrata. V njem bodo združene celotna veriga skladiščenja in predelave pivovarskega ječmena ter proizvodnja in trgovina s sladom.
• on the basis of the information available to the Commission, it cannot be excluded that the malt market shows overcapacity;
• na podlagi podatkov, s katerimi razpolaga Komisija, ni mogoče izključiti, da na trgu slada obstajajo presežne zmogljivosti;
Holland Malt claims to provide ‘premium malt’ of high quality for the production of ‘premium beer’ and that the market for this kind of malt and beer is still growing.
Holland Malt trdi, da proizvaja „prvovrsten slad“ visoke kakovosti za proizvodnjo „prvovrstnega piva“ ter da trg za to vrsto slada in piva še vedno raste.

Climate change levy (United Kingdom)
Dajatve v zvezi s podnebnimi spremembami (Združeno kraljestvo)
On the 20th July, the Commission authorised an aid scheme to grant the agriculture sector a tax rebate of EUR 687 million over a period of 10 years(314). e rebate of the climate change levy of 50 % for horticulture and 80 % for agriculture sectors covered by integrated pollution prevention and control (IPPC) agreements allows the United Kingdom agricultural sector to accommodate higher energy prices caused by the levy while helping to meet the CO reduction targets for the United Kingdom and also for the EU.
Komisija je 20. julija odobrila shemo pomoči, po kateri bo kmetijski sektor v 10 letih upravičen do znižanja davka v višini 687 milijonov EUR(314). 50-odstotno zni- žanje dajatev v zvezi s podnebnimi spremembami za vrtnarske in 80-odstotno znižanje za kmetijske sektorje, za katere veljajo sporazumi o celovitem preprečevanju in zmanjševanju onesnaževanja (IPPC), bo kmetijskemu sektorju Združenega kraljestva omogočilo prilagoditev na višje cene energije zaradi dajatev in hkrati pripomoglo k doseganju ciljev o znižanju emisij CO za Združeno kraljestvo pa tudi za EU.
When assessing multisectoral state aid in the context of energy taxes, the Commission accepted equal treatment for agriculture with other sectors subject to the guidelines on state aid for environmental purposes. e IPPC agreements were approved under point 51(1)(a) of the guidelines.
Sporazumi se redno proučujejo. Pri oceni državne pomoči, ki presega meje enega sektorja v okviru dajatev na energijo, je Komisija sprejela enako obravnavanje kmetijstva kot za druge sektorje, za katere veljajo smernice o državni pomoči v okoljske namene.
A separate special measure involving a five-year rebate of 50 % allows the horticulture sector to oset the loss of international competitiveness resulting from the introduction of the climate change levy. e legal basis for this was point 5.5.4 of the guidelines for state aid in the agricultural sector.
Ločen posebni ukrep, ki vključuje petletno 50-odstotno zmanjšanje, omogoča vrtnarskemu sektorju, da nadomesti izgubo mednarodne konkurenčnosti zaradi uvedbe dajatve v zvezi s podnebnimi spremembami. Pravna podlaga za to je bila točka 5.5.4 Smernic o državni pomoči v kmetijskem sektorju.
Among the cases in which the Commission took decisions in 2005, the following three cases are worth mentioning:
Med zadevami, v katerih je Komisija leta 2005 sprejela odločbe, je vredno omeniti naslednje tri:
An investment of GBP 3 million was made in 1999 and 2000 in a fish processing company in the Shetland Islands by a company named Shetland Leasing and Property Ltd (SLAP)(315). e Commission was made aware of it by a complaint. e inves- tigation led to the conclusion that the funds used for the investment were derived from two trusts managed by the Shetland Islands Council and had to be considered state aid. is investment constituted operating aid incompatible with the common market. However, as the same kind of funding was considered to be a private participation in the
Naložba v višini 3 milijonov GBP, ki jo je v letih 1999 in 2000 v podjetje za predelavo rib na Shetlandskih otokih vložilo podjetje pod imenom Shetland Leasing
III — State aid control field of structural funds, recovery of the aid has not been required for reasons of legitimate expectations on the part of the authorities and the bodies involved.
S preiskavo je bilo ugotovljeno, da so bila sredstva, ki so se uporabila za naložbo, pridobljena iz dveh skladov, ki ju je upravljal Svet Shetlandskih otokov, in jih je zato treba šteti za državno pomoč.
In its decision, the Commission considered that the guidelines for state aid concerning TSE tests, fallen stock and slaughterhouse waste, which were adopted in the context of the BSE crisis, apply also to state aid towards the fallen stock from fish farms.
Komisija je v svoji odločbi menila, da se Smernice za državno pomoč v zvezi s testi na TSE, poginulimi živalmi in klavničnimi odpadki, ki so bile sprejete v okviru krize BSE, uporabljajo tudi pri državni pomoči za poginule živali iz ribogojnic.
Following an exceptionally strong storm in the Baltic Sea at the beginning of January, the Commission approved a scheme(317) notied by Latvia to compensate for damage suered by fishermen and fish farmers.
Komisija je po izredno hudi nevihti v Baltskem morju v začetku januarja odobrila shemo(317), ki jo je Latvija priglasila za nadomestilo škode, ki so jo utrpeli ribiči in ribogojci.
Notications of aid schemes of this kind, e.g. following a storm or other extraordinary event such as pollution, are not unusual but this is the first time that a new Member State has notied such a case.
Priglasitve tovrstnih shem pomoči, na primer po nevihti ali kakem drugem izrednem dogodku, kot je onesnaženje, niso neobičajne, vendar se je tokrat prvič zgodilo, da je nova država članica priglasila takšen primer.
In June, it approved the restructuring plans for the coal sectors in Germany, Hungary and Poland.
Junija je odobrila načrte prestrukturiranja za premogovništvo v Nemčiji, na Madžarskem in na Poljskem.
In January, the Commission approved the annual aid payments for Germany for the year 2005.
Januarja je Komisija odobrila letna izplačila pomoči za Nemčijo za leto 2005.
In March, it approved state aid granted by Germany in 2001 and 2002 to its coal industry (although such state aid was unlawful since it was not notied).
Marca je odobrila državno pomoč, ki jo je v letih 2001 in 2002 Nemčija dodelila svojemu premogovništvu (čeprav je bila takšna državna pomoč nezakonita, ker ni bila priglašena).
In June, it authorised annual aid for Slovakia for the year 2004 and annual aid for Poland for the years 2004 to 2006.
Junija je odobrila letno pomoč za Slovaško za leto 2004 in letno pomoč za Poljsko za obdobje med letoma 2004 in 2006.
In July, the Commission authorised aid for a new ortho-lig-nite mine in the Czech Republic on the basis of the regional aid guidelines, as the coal regulation does not apply to ortho-lignite.
Julija je Komisija odobrila pomoč za nov rudnik ortolignita na Češkem na podlagi Smernic za regionalno pomoč, ker se predpis o premogovništvu ne uporablja za ortolignit.
Finally, the Commission authorised closure aid for mines in the Czech Republic, annual aid for 2005 for mines in Slovakia and annual aid for the years 2004 to 2006 for Hungary.
Nazadnje je Komisija odobrila pomoč za zaprtje rudnikov na Češkem, letno pomoč za leto 2005 za rudnike na Slovaškem in letno pomoč za obdobje med letoma 2004 in 2006 za Madžarsko.

5. julija je bila odobrena še ena belgijska shema pomoči(323) za spodbujanje nacionalnih storitev kombiniranega prevoza. Triletna shema se bo uporabljala za prevoznike v kombiniranem prometu, ki uporabljajo železniške storitve.
III — State aid control dies will be granted to road haulage companies which make use of existing or new maritime routes instead of road transport. e scheme will be in force for three years and its budget will amount to EUR 240 million.
Skladno s tem ciljem bodo subvencije namenjene cestnim prevozniškim podjetjem, ki namesto cestnega prevoza uporabljajo obstoječe ali nove pomorske poti. Shema se bo uporabljala tri leta, njen proračun pa bo znašal 240 milijonov EUR.

When investigating the restructuring, the Commission gave third parties an opportunity to comment on how Alitalia had used the loan of EUR 400 million which on the 20th July 2004 it authorised Italy to guarantee. In the light of these comments, the
Med preiskavo o prestrukturiranju je Komisija tretjim strankam omogočila posredovanje pripomb o tem, kako je Alitalia porabila posojilo v višini 400 milijonov EUR, ki ga je 20. julija odobrila Italiji za jamstvo.
Commission carried out a full analysis of Alitalia’s behaviour, including an independent examination.
Komisija je glede na te pripombe izvedla obširno preiskavo o ravnanju Alitalie, vključno z neodvisno preiskavo.
It took the view that no misuse of this aid had taken place, and that, in particular, the company’s capacity complies with the commitments made and that the new routes are protable.
Menila je, da ni bilo nikakršne zlorabe pomoči ter da je zlasti zmogljivost družbe v skladu s prevzetimi obveznostmi in da so nove letalske proge donosne.
In its decision of the 12th February 2004 concerning advantages granted by the Walloon Region and the publicly owned Brussels South Charleroi Airport (BSCA) to the airline Ryanair in connection with its establishment at Charleroi, the Commission concluded that certain types of aid which permit genuine development of new routes under clearly dened conditions could be authorised by the Commission. e decision also indicated, however, that certain forms of aid cannot be authorised.
Komisija je v svoji odločbi z dne 12. februarja 2004 o ugodnostih, ki sta jih Valonska regija in Brussels South Charleroi Airport (BSCA) v javni lasti odobrila letalskemu prevozniku Ryanair v zvezi z njegovo namestitvijo v Charleroiju ugotovila, da bi Komisija lahko odobrila nekatere vrste pomoči, ki omogočajo pravi razvoj novih prog na podlagi jasno opredeljenih pogojev. Vendar je bilo v odločbi tudi navedeno, da nekaterih vrst pomoči ni mogoče odobriti.
In that respect and pursuant to the decision, the Belgian authorities agreed in 2004 with Ryanair to put part of the incompatible aid, around EUR 4 million, on an escrow account, while awaiting a judgment by the Court of First Instance (CFI) on the action for annulment of the Commission decision brought by the airline.
Glede na to in na podlagi odločbe so se belgijski organi leta 2004 z Ryanairom sporazumeli, da bodo del nezdružljive pomoči, okoli 4 milijone EUR, dali na depozitni račun in počakali na sodbo Sodišča prve stopnje v zvezi s tožbo za razglasitev ničnosti odločbe Komisije, ki jo je vložil letalski prevoznik.
Belgium had to sue Ryanair before an Irish court to obtain repayment of the additional amount of around EUR 2.3 million (the case is still pending).
Belgija je morala tožiti Ryanair pred irskim sodiščem, da bi prejela izplačilo dodatnega zneska v višini okoli 2,3 milijona EUR (zadeva je še pred sodiščem).
Also in the context of the follow-up to the Ryanair/Charleroi decision, on 9 December the Commission adopted a set of guidelines in response to recent developments in the air transport sector, namely the emergence of low-cost airlines and increased competition between airports, and in particular between regional airports, which has been particularly active in recent years in a drive to attract new air links. ese guidelines(327) seek to enhance the transparency of the applicable rules by establishing what the Commission will or will not allow.
Prav tako v okviru spremljanja odločbe Ryanair/Charleroi je Komisija 9. decembra sprejela sklop smernic v odgovor na nedavne dogodke v sektorju zračnega prometa: pojav nizkocenovnih prevoznikov in večja konkurenca med letališči, posebno med regionalnimi letališči, ki je bila še zlasti dejavna v zadnjih nekaj letih, da bi prite- gnila nove letalske povezave. Namen teh smernic(327) je povečati preglednost veljavnih pravil, tako da se določi, kaj bo Komisija dovolila in česa ne.
In September, the Commission also concluded its investigation into allegations surrounding the granting by Greece of illegal and incompatible aid to Olympic Airways. e Commission concluded that since the 11th December 2002 (the date of its previous decision concerning the Greek ag carrier) Olympic Airways and Olympic Airlines had continued to receive unlawful state aid.
Septembra je Komisija končala tudi preiskavo glede trditev o nezakoniti in nezdružljivi pomoči, ki naj bi jo Grčija dodelila družbi Olympic Airways.
See also the reference to the ECJ judgment regarding the recovery of such aid in Section D below.
Komisija je ugotovila, da sta družbi Olympic Airways in Olympic Airlines po 11. decembru 2002 (datumu njene prejšnje odločbe o grškem domačem letalskem prevozniku) še naprej

III — State aid control
III – Nadzor državnih pomoči prejemali nezakonito državno pomoč.
In opening the investigation procedure the Commission had expressed doubts about the continuing non-payment by Olympic Airways of tax and social security liabilities, as well as about the way in which Olympic Airlines was established in late 2003.
Ob uvedbi preiskovalnega postopka je Komisija izrazila pomisleke v zvezi s trajajočim neplačevanjem davčnih obveznosti in obveznosti za socialno varnost s strani družbe Olympic Airways, pa tudi v zvezi s tem, kako je bila konec leta 2003 ustanovljena družba Olympic Airways.
In December 2003 all flight activities that were previously carried on within the Olympic Airways Group by Olympic Airways, Olympic Aviation and Olympic Macedonian were concentrated in a new entity renamed Olympic Airlines.
Decembra 2003 so se vse letalske dejavnosti, ki so jih znotraj skupine Olympic Airways Group dotlej izvajale družbe Olympic Airways, Olympic Aviation in Olympic Macedonian, združile v nov subjekt, preimenovan v Olympic Airlines.
Having carried out an indepth study of the finances of Olympic Airways and of Olympic Airlines, the Commission found on the 14th September that Greece had granted illegal and incompatible state aid through a number of measures including the non-payment of tax and social security liabilities, the overvaluation of the assets transferred by Olympic Airways to Olympic Airlines, cash grants made by the state to Olympic Airways and the lease of aircra to Olympic Airlines at below cost(328).
Komisija je po izvedbi poglobljene študije financ družb Olympic Airways in Olympic Airlines 14. septembra ugotovila, da je Grčija dodelila nezakonito in nezdružljivo pomoč z različnimi ukrepi, med katerimi so neplačevanje davčnih obveznosti in obveznosti za socialno varstvo, precenitev sredstev, ki jih je družba Olympic Airways prenesla na družbo Olympic Airlines, gotovinske subvencije države za družbo Olympic Airways in najem letal za Olympic Airlines po cenah, ki so nižje od stroškov(328).
Furthermore, in 2005, the Commission adopted two decisions relating to the nancing of airport infrastructure.
Poleg tega je Komisija leta 2005 sprejela dve odločbi, ki sta se nanašali na financiranje letališke infrastrukture.
