Whereas the application of this Regulation requires that State aids in the form of loans at reduced interest rates or of interest rebates which are not specified in percentage points should be capable of being compared and added up;
Whereas this calculation should be made by reference to the interest rate used for comparable operations which is in force at the time of the granting of the reduced interest loan or interest rebate;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Fund Committee,
In all cases where a loan is granted at a reduced rate of interest or where an interest rebate is not stated in advance to be a rebate of a specific number of percentage points, the amount of the reduction in the interest rate or of the rebate shall be calculated on the basis of a reference rate.
The reference rates for the Member States mentioned below shall be as follows:
Belgium : rate for loans of 10 years and over granted by the Société Nationale de Crédit à l'Industrie;
Denmark : rate for loans granted by the European Investment Bank increased by 1.5 percentage points;
France : rate for loans for plant and machinery granted by the Crédit National;
Italy : reference rate fixed by the State for the payment of interest rebates to credit institutions;

Commission Decision
of 23 May 2001
authorising the placing on the market of pasteurised fruit-based preparations produced using high-pressure pasteurisation under Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(notified under document number C(2001) 1462)
(Only the French text is authentic)
(2001/424/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 258/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 1997 concerning novel foods and novel food ingredients(1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Having regard to the request by Groupe Danone to the competent authorities of France of 3 December 1998 for placing pasteurised fruit-based preparations produced by high-pressure pasteurisation on the market as a novel food ingredient,
Having regard to the initial assessment report drawn up by the competent authorities of France, which the Commission forwarded to all Member State on 16 May 2000.
Whereas:
(1) In their initial assessment report the French competent food assessment body came to the conclusion that high-pressure treatment (8 kbar for 6 minutes at 20°C) may be safely used instead of the specified generally used heat pasteurisation process (85°C for 10 minutes).
(2) Within the 60 days' period laid down in Article 6(4) of the Regulation, reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were nevertheless raised in accordance with that provision. In accordance with Article 7 of the Regulation, a Decision is therefore to be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 13 of the Regulation.
(3) At a meeting on 9 October 2000 experts of Groupe Danone were called upon to provide the necessary information in response to the comments and objections raised by Member States. In particular, a technical explanation was given that the high-pressure treatment provides the same level of safety as the generally used heat pasteurisation process with respect to the bacteriological risks and the allergenic potential.
(4) It is therefore considered that the use of high-pressure pasteurisation in the production of fruit preparations is not likely to have an effect on public health so that a decision can be taken without consultation of the Scientific Committee for Food.
(5) On this basis, it is established that the products comply with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of the Regulation.
(6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee for Foodstuffs,
The fruit preparations pasteurised by high-pressure treatment, as specified in the Annex, may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food ingredient.
Without prejudice to the other requirements of Community law concerning the labelling of foodstuffs, the wording "pasteurised by high-pressure treatment" is displayed next to the fruit preparations in question as such and in any product in which it is used.
This Decision is addressed to Groupe Danone, 7 rue de Téhéran, F-75391 Paris CEDEX 08.
