Other information: State subsidies, which should reach those affected as soon as possible, support undertakings' crisis management. In the past there were delays in establishing compensation schemese and having them authorised by the European Commission. These principles for national subsidey schemes are submitted to ensure that aid can be provided promptly in the event of acute problems.
This procedure is in line with the Community guidelines for State aid in the agriculture and forestry sector 2007 to 2013. These recommend that Member States set up aid schemes for use in the event of losses caused by exceptional natural events in time, i.e. before the occurrence of such an event, so that in acute cases, the Community authorisation procedures for State aid do not delay the provision of aid.
It should be noted that this is a prophylactic scheme, which covers an event that could occur in the future. The experiences from the floods of 2002 (Elbe and Danube) and 2005 (Danube and its tributaries, particularly in the Alpine area and foothills of the Alps in Bavaria) and the drought of 2003 have been taken into consideration in the estimation of the total annual amount provided for under the scheme
