Commission notice on the quantity of certain products in the milk and milk products sector available for the second half of 2009 under certain quotas opened by the Community

(2009/C 74/01)

When import licences were allocated for the first half of 2009 for certain quotas mentioned in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 (1), the licence applications covered quantities less than those available for the products concerned. Therefore, the quantity available for each quota for the period 1 July to 31 December 2009 should be calculated taking account of the unallocated quantities resulting from Commission Regulation (EC) No 1224/2008 (2) (of 9 December 2008 determining the extent to which the applications for import licences submitted in November 2008 for certain dairy products under certain tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 can be accepted) and of applications for import licences lodged in the first ten days of November 2008 for butter originating in New Zealand under quotas 09.4195 and 09.4182.

The quantities available for the period 1 July to 31 December 2009 for the second half of the year of importation for certain quotas referred to in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 are indicated hereunder.

Note 1

Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity will be the date of withdrawal (‘dow’), set by the European Standardisation Organisation, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

Note 2.1

The new (or amended) standard has the same scope as the superseded standard. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

Note 3

In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 4) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

Note 4

Presumption of conformity for a product is achieved by complying with the requirements of Part 1 and the relevant Part 2 when this Part 2 is also listed in the OJ under Directive 98/37/EC.

Note:

any information concerning the availability of the standards can be obtained either from the European Standardisation Organisations or from the national standardisation bodies of which the list is annexed to the Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) amended by the Directive 98/48/EC (3),

publication of the references in the Official Journal of the European Union does not imply that the standards are available in all the Community languages,

this list replaces all the previous lists published in the Official Journal of the European Union. The Commission ensures the updating of this list.

Call for applications regarding the nomination of public policy members of EFRAG's Supervisory Board

(2009/C 74/04)

The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) was set up in 2001 to advise the Commission on the endorsement of accounting standards. In addition to its advisory function, EFRAG also plays a pro-active role to ensure that the European views on the development of financial reporting are properly and clearly articulated in the international standard-setting process. In order to be able better fulfil this latter role, EFRAG's governance had to be reformed. EFRAG published in December 2008 its final enhancement report. The enhanced structure is currently being put in place.

The main responsibilities of the enhanced EFRAG's Supervisory Board include approving the overall strategy of EFRAG, appointing members of the Technical Expert Group (TEG) and those of the Planning and Resource Committee (PRC); dealing with budgetary and funding matters, liaising with the European Institutions and with the IASCF Trustees.

The Supervisory Board will consist of high level personalities with an interest in the global development of financial reporting and with an appropriate balance of professional backgrounds, including users, preparers, and accountants. All Supervisory Board members will act in a personal capacity and will be required to commit themselves formally to act in the European public interest, independently from their professional or sector affiliation. The Supervisory Board will consist of 17 members, including four members whose background will be based on experience in public policy, either at national or at European level.

The Commission is therefore calling for applications with a view to listing candidates to be nominated as the four public policy members of the Supervisory Board.

The Commission will take the following criteria into account when assessing potential candidates:

experience in public policy at European or international level, commitment to act in the European public interest,

background in a public authority, public bodies or academia,

high-standing and integrity,

good command of the English language,

familiarity with the accounting field will be an asset,

need for a balanced composition in terms of geographical origin, gender and background.

A signed application must be received by the Commission services by 30 April 2009 at the latest. Any application submitted after the deadline may only be considered by the Commission in case of substitution or replacement.

Applications should be:

sent by registered letter or by private courier to the following address:

European Commission

Directorate-General Internal Market

Attention of Mr Pierre Delsaux, Director

Rue de Spa 2, 03/205

1049 Bruxelles/Brussel

BELGIQUE/BELGIË

or by e-mail to:

MARKT-F3@ec.europa.eu

With: ‘EFRAG Public Policy Supervisory Board Members’ in the subject field.

Each application must be completed in one of the official languages of the European Union, clearly indicating the applicant's nationality and including the necessary documentation. Applications should contain all details useful for their assessment; this may include a curriculum vitae documenting the professional experience and level of expertise of the applicant and a short letter explaining the reasons for applying. The following information should also be included:

For which authorities/organisations has the applicant been working? How long?

What are his/her specific competences?

In which specific projects and or tasks has he/she been involved?

Where has he/she acquired experience at EU and/or international level?

Has the applicant any interests which may affect his or her independence?

The persons selected shall be appointed in a personal capacity and shall act independently of any outside influence. They may not be represented by alternates. Members of the Supervisory Board are appointed by the EFRAG General Assembly for a renewable 3-year term office. Members can serve for a maximum of 6 years.

The list of appointed members of the Supervisory Board will be published on the web site of EFRAG and that of DG Internal Market and Services. The members' names will be collected, processed and published in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 (1).

STATE AID — HUNGARY

State aid C 1/09 (ex NN 69/08) — Alleged aid to MOL

Invitation to submit comments pursuant to Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2009/C 74/05)

By means of the letter dated 13 January 2009 reproduced in the authentic language on the pages following this summary, the Commission notified Hungary of its decision to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty concerning the abovementioned measure.

Interested parties may submit their comments on the measure in respect of which the Commission is initiating the procedure within one month of the date of publication of this summary and the following letter, to:

European Commission

Directorate-General for Competition

State Aid Greffe

Fax +32 22961242

These comments will be communicated to Hungary. Confidential treatment of the identity of the interested party submitting the comments may be requested in writing, stating the reasons for the request.

SUMMARY

I.   PROCEDURE

1.

On 14 November 2007 the Commission received a complaint regarding an alleged State aid measure put in place by Hungary in favour of the Hungarian Oil & Gas Plc (‘MOL’). It concerns the 2005 agreement between MOL and the Hungarian State which allows the company to be actually exempted from the increased level of mining fee following an amendment to the Hungarian Mining Act in January 2008.

2.

Since the measure described in the complaint indeed has given reason for doubts, information requests were sent to Hungary on 24 January 2008 and 18 June 2008. The Hungarian authorities replied to these questionnaires on 25 March 2008 and 9 September 2008.

II.   DESCRIPTION

3.

The agreement between MOL and the Hungarian State allows the company to be de facto exempted from an augmentation of mining fee on hydrocarbons from January 2008, introduced by a recent amendment to the Hungarian Mining Act. According to the agreement dating back to 2005, MOL's mining royalty payments remain fixed for the majority of its hydrocarbon mining fields until 2020, despite the considerable increase in the mining fee brought by the modification.

III.   ASSESSMENT

4.

Given the way the agreement and the amendment are designed, they have been regarded as part of the same measure, and their joint impact has been assessed. The Commission's analysis showed that the combined effect of the prolongation agreement and the subsequent modification leads to the result that undue advantage is conferred to MOL.

5.

The Commission considers that the measure meets all criteria under Article 87(1) EC Treaty are and hence it is to be considered State aid. The Commission does not see any grounds on which it could be compatible with the common market, since no derogation as laid down in the EC Treaty seems to be applicable.

IV.   CONCLUSION

6.

In the light of the foregoing considerations, the Commission has decided to open the formal investigation procedure provided for in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in relation to the measure described.

TEXT OF LETTER

‘A Bizottság ezúton tájékoztatja Magyarországot, hogy a fent említett intézkedésre vonatkozóan a magyar hatóságok által benyújtott információk áttekintése után úgy határozott, hogy megindítja az EK-Szerződés 88. cikkének (2) bekezdésében meghatározott eljárást.

1.   AZ ELJÁRÁS

(1)

2007. november 14-én panasz érkezett a Bizottsághoz olyan intézkedésekre vonatkozóan, amelyeket Magyarország állítólag a Magyar Olaj- és Gázipari Nyrt. (a továbbiakban: MOL) javára foganatosított (1). A panasz állami támogatással kapcsolatos vonatkozásai (2) a vállalkozás bányajáradék-fizetési kötelezettségeire irányultak.

(2)

Az állítólagos állami támogatási intézkedés a MOL és a magyar állam által 2005-ben kötött azon megállapodás (a továbbiakban: a megállapodás vagy a szerződés), amely lehetővé teszi, hogy a vállalkozás valójában mentességet kapjon a bányászati törvény 2008 januárjában történt módosítását követő bányajáradék-emelés alól.

(3)

Mivel a panaszban leírt intézkedés valóban kétségekre adott alapot, a Bizottság információkérést küldött Magyarországnak 2008. január 24-én, továbbá 2008. június 18-án. A magyar hatóságok e kérdőívekre 2008. március 25-én, illetve 2008. szeptember 9-én adtak választ.

2.   A KEDVEZMÉNYEZETT ÉS AZ INTÉZKEDÉS LEÍRÁSA

2.1.   A kedvezményezett

(4)

A MOL integrált olaj- és gázipari társaság, részvényeit jegyzik a budapesti, a luxemburgi és a varsói tőzsdén. A magyar piacon fő tevékenységei közé a következők tartoznak: kőolaj és földgáz feltárása és kitermelése; gázipari termékek gyártása; kőolajtermékek finomítása, szállítása, tárolása és forgalmazása kis- és nagykereskedelmi szinten egyaránt; földgázszállítás; valamint olefinek és poliolefinek előállítása és értékesítése. Továbbá a MOL-csoport több magyar és külföldi leányvállalatot is magában foglal (3).

2.2.   A bányászati törvény

(5)

A magyarországi bányászati tevékenységekre vonatkozó általános szabályokat a bányászatról szóló, 1993. évi XLVIII. törvény (4) (a továbbiakban: bányászati törvény) határozza meg.

(6)

A törvény értelmében bányászati tevékenység (azaz az ásványi anyagok kutatása, feltárása és kitermelése) két különböző jogi formában folytatható: i. koncessziós szerződés alapján; illetve ii. hatósági engedély alapján. Koncesszió esetében a bányászati kérdésekért felelős miniszter (a továbbiakban: illetékes miniszter) (5) szerződést köt »zárt terület« (6) kitermelésére vonatkozóan a nyilvános pályázat nyertesével. Ettől eltér az az eset, amikor ún. »nyílt területről« (7) van szó; ilyenkor a bányafelügyelet nem tagadhatja meg a bányászati jog megadását, amennyiben a kérelmező megfelel a törvény által rögzített feltételeknek.

(7)

Továbbá a bányászati törvény előírja, hogy az ásványi nyersanyagok kitermelése esetében bányajáradékot kell fizetni, amely a kitermelt ásványi nyersanyag mennyisége után keletkező érték meghatározott százaléka. Koncesszió esetében ennek összegét a koncessziós szerződés rögzíti. Az engedély alapján folytatott ásványi nyersanyag-kitermelés esetében a bányajáradékot a bányászati törvény 20. cikke szabályozza.

(8)

2008 januárjáig a szénhidrogének engedély alapján történő kitermeléséhez kapcsolódó bányajáradék 12 %-ot tett ki, bizonyos kivételekkel, mint amilyen az 1998. január 1-je előtt termelésbe állított szénhidrogén mezők esete, ahol a bányajáradék J %. A J tényezőt egy olyan képlet alapján számították ki, amely a korábbi gázárakon, valamint a kitermelt mennyiségen és értéken alapul; minimális értékét 12 %-ban határozták meg.

2.3.   A határidő meghosszabbítására kötött szerződés

(9)

A bányászati törvény 26/A cikkének (5) bekezdése alapján a bányavállalkozó a bányafelügyeleti engedély időpontjától számított 5 éven belül köteles a kitermelést megkezdeni. Amennyiben eddig az időpontig nem kezdődik el a kitermelés, az engedélyt bevonják. E cikk arról is rendelkezik, hogy e határidő az illetékes miniszter és a bányavállalkozó között megkötött szerződésben magasabb bányajáradék meghatározásával (8) meghosszabbítható. Ezenfelül abban az esetben, ha a meghosszabbítási kérelem kettőnél több bányatelekre irányul, a megnövelt bányajáradék alkalmazását kiterjesztik a bányavállalkozó valamennyi bányatelkére, ötnél több bányatelekre kért határidő-hosszabbítás esetén pedig további egyszeri térítés  (9) is megállapítható.

(10)

2005. szeptember 19-i kérelmében a MOL szénhidrogénmezői (olaj és gáz) közül 12-re vonatkozóan bányászati jogának meghosszabbítását kérte, amelyet korábban engedély útján szerzett.

(11)

2005. december 22-én a MOL és az illetékes miniszter szerződést kötött a határidő meghosszabbítására az alábbi feltételekkel:

a)   Határidő-hosszabbítás: A kérelem tárgyát képező bányászati jogokat 5 évvel meghosszabbították (azaz további öt év áll a MOL rendelkezésére ahhoz, hogy megkezdje a kitermelést e mezőkön). A meghosszabbításért fizetendő térítést az ötéves meghosszabbítási időszak minden egyes évére 1,020 és 1,050 közötti szorzó (»c«) alkalmazásával határozták meg, az alábbiakban felsorolt hosszabbítási térítési díjakat állapítva meg. Továbbá a kitermelés megkezdését követően a következő bányajáradékokat kellett alkalmazni az elkövetkező 15 éves időtartam hátralévő részére:

b)   Kiterjesztés az összes bányatelekre: Mivel a bányászati jog meghosszabbítását ötnél több bányatelekre kérték, az 1998. január elseje után termelésbe állított összes bányatelekre megegyező összegű járadék alkalmazandó 15 éven át, azaz 2020-ig. Az 1998. január elsejét megelőzően termelésbe állított bányatelkek tekintetében a »J« és c szorzata az alkalmazandó szorzószám. A »J« értékét a megállapodás aláírásakor hatályos bányászati törvény alapján a szerződés állapította meg.

c)   A bányajáradék »befagyasztása«: A felek abban is megállapodtak, hogy a szerződésben megállapított bányajáradék a bányászati törvény esetleges módosításaitól függetlenül a szerződés teljes időtartamára alkalmazandó (azaz 2020-ig).

d)   Egyszeri térítés: A megállapodás a kitermelés késedelmes megkezdése miatt 20 milliárd HUF (10) összegű egyszeri díjról is rendelkezett.

e)   Felmondási záradék: A szerződés úgy rendelkezett, hogy módosítása nem lehetséges. A szerződést a felek csak a MOL irányításában bekövetkező, a részvények minimum 25 %-át érintő változás esetén mondhatják fel.

(12)

A bányafelügyelet 2005. december 23-i határozatával meghosszabbította a MOL bányászati jogát a kérelem tárgyát képező mezőkre vonatkozóan.

2.4.   A bányászati törvény módosítása

(13)

A bányászati törvény 2008 januárjában elfogadott módosítása bizonyos típusú szénhidrogének esetében jelentősen megemelte a bányajáradékot. Ennek értelmében jelenleg 30 %-os bányajáradékot kell fizetni minden, 1998. január 1-je és 2008. január 1-je között termelésbe állított mező után. A 2008. január 1-je után termelésbe állított mezők esetében a kitermelt szénhidrogén-mennyiségtől függő (12, 20, illetve 30 %-os) járadék fizetendő. Az 1998 előtt termelésbe állított mezők esetében a »J« szorzó alkalmazandó, amelynek minimumértékét 30 %-ban határozták meg. Továbbá az összes járadékot a nyersolaj árától függő pótdíj terheli (»Brent-felár«) (11). Speciális értékek alkalmazandók nehéz kitermelési feltételek esetében (12 %), valamint magas inertgáz-tartalom esetében (8 %).

(14)

Az új bányajáradékok 2008. január 8-a óta vannak hatályban; az ezt megelőzően aláírt ún. »hosszú távú megállapodások« – azaz koncessziós megállapodások és határidő-hosszabbítási megállapodások – tárgyát képező mezőkre a magyar hatóságok szerint nem alkalmazandók. Mivel a MOL mezőinek 96,6 %-át a megállapodás előtt állították termelésbe, így annak alkalmazási körébe tartoznak, a vállalkozás valójában mentesül a módosított bányajáradék fizetésének kötelezettsége alól.

3.   ÉRTÉKELÉS

3.1.   Az intézkedés háttere

(15)

A MOL határidő-hosszabbítási megállapodása első látásra nem áll ellentétben a bányászati törvénnyel, mivel annak vonatkozó rendelkezéseivel összhangban kötötték meg. Ugyanakkor fontos felhívni a figyelmet arra, hogy a törvény nem tartalmaz semmiféle rendelkezést arra az esetre vonatkozóan, amennyiben az eredeti bányajáradékot a meghosszabbítási megállapodás megkötését követően megemelik. A bányászati törvény explicit kivételt sem állapít meg az ilyen jellegű hosszú lejáratú szerződésekre vonatkozóan.

(16)

A megállapodás és a törvénymódosítás kialakítását figyelembe véve egyazon intézkedés részének kell őket tekinteni (a továbbiakban: az intézkedés); értékelésüket nem elkülönítve kell végezni, hanem együttes hatásukat kell vizsgálni.

3.2.   Az állami támogatás megléte

(17)

A 87. cikk (1) bekezdése megállapítja, hogy a közös piaccal összeegyeztethetetlen a tagállamok által vagy állami forrásból bármilyen formában nyújtott olyan támogatás, amely bizonyos vállalkozásoknak vagy bizonyos áruk termelésének előnyben részesítése által torzítja a versenyt, illetve annak torzításával fenyeget, amennyiben ez érinti a tagállamok közötti kereskedelmet.

Állami források és szelektivitás

(18)

Úgy tűnik, hogy az intézkedés által az állam bevételekről mond le, mégpedig szelektív módon, mivel csak egy vállalkozásnak nyújt mentességet. A magyar hatóságok mostanáig nem adtak magyarázatot arra vonatkozóan, hogy a magyar adórendszer és a magyar bányászati szabályozás általános logikája indokolja-e a mentességet. Érvelésük szerint az adószabályok nem alkalmazhatók analógiás alapon a bányajáradékokra, mivel ezek az állami tulajdonban levő szénhidrogének vételárát jelentik, azaz nem tekinthetők adónak. Továbbá a határidő-hosszabbítási megállapodás értelmében a bányászati jog szerződéses viszony tárgyává vált, a hosszabbítási megállapodással kapcsolatos eljárás pedig a koncessziós szerződések logikáját követi.

(19)

Fontos felidézni, hogy a MOL hosszabbítási szerződésének megkötése az ún. engedélyezés alapján történt, amely jelentős mértékben eltér a koncessziótól (14), mint ez a fentiekben kifejtésre került. Ebből következően a koncessziós megállapodás logikája nem alkalmazható sem az engedélyezés tárgyát képező bányászati jogokra, sem pedig az erre vonatkozóan kötött megállapodásokra.

(20)

A Bizottság azzal a magyar véleménnyel sem ért egyet, amely szerint az engedélyezés értelmében fizetendő bányajáradék nem minősülne fiskális intézkedésnek, tekintettel arra, hogy az illeték összegét (valamint a lehetséges hosszabbítás viszonylatában alkalmazandó alapvető módozatait) törvény szabályozza, és fizetése minden bányászati jogot kapott vállalkozás számára kötelező.

(21)

Beadványaikban a magyar hatóságok arra hivatkoznak, hogy a bányajáradék emelésére azért volt szükség, hogy az állam magasabb bevételre tehessen szert a szénhidrogének megnövekedett piaci árából. Mivel azonban a MOL a piacvezető a magyarországi szénhidrogén-termelésben (15), de facto kivételezett helyzete ellentmondani látszik a hatóságok azon céljának, amely a szénhidrogén-kitermelésből származó bevétel emelésére irányul.

(22)

Végül a felmondási záradék (azaz annak lehetősége, hogy a szerződést bármelyik fél felmondhatja abban az esetben, ha harmadik személy a vállalkozás részvényeinek több mint 25 %-át megszerzi) és a bányajáradék ezt követő emelése együttesen alkalmazva olyan eszköznek tekinthető, amelynek célja annak megakadályozása, hogy (külföldi) befektetők a MOL eszközeit felvásárolhassák. Amennyiben a MOL irányítása megváltozna, minden bányatelkére a módosított bányászati törvényben meghatározott értékek vonatkoznának.

Előny

(23)

Ami az előny kérdését illeti, az intézkedést a bányászati törvény határidő-hosszabbítási szerződésre vonatkozó rendelkezéseinek célját figyelembe véve kell elemezni. Ilyen típusú megállapodást akkor kell kötni, ha egy vállalkozás nem kezdi meg a kitermelést a korábban kiadott bányászati jog törvényben meghatározott határidején belül, és emiatt e határidő meghosszabbítását kéri. A meghosszabbítás ellentételezésére a vállalkozásnak elméletben magasabb járadékot, továbbá esetlegesen egyszeri kártalanítást kell fizetnie.

(24)

E kompenzációs elemek célja a bányák kiaknázatlanul maradásának megakadályozása, valamint annak biztosítása, hogy az állam bányajáradékhoz jusson. Célja nem az, hogy szerzett jogokat hozzon létre, és egy adott szinten befagyassza a bányajáradékot. Az új járadék 2008 januárjában bekövetkező hatályba lépésével a MOL szinte valamennyi bányatelke után fizetendő, eredetileg valamivel magasabb járadék a legtöbb esetben lényegesen alacsonyabb mértékű lett, mint amennyit a hasonló bányatelkeket működtető versenytársak fizetnek, akik pedig betartották a kitermelés megkezdésére vonatkozó törvényi határidőt.

(25)

Így tehát a határidő-hosszabbítási megállapodás azon rendelkezése, amely 15 évre befagyasztja a bányajáradékot anélkül, hogy lehetőséget adna a módosítására, amennyiben annak hatályos jogszabályban előírt mértéke megváltozik, kívül esik a bányászati törvény hatályán, szellemén és logikáján (amely járadékot ró ki abból a célból, hogy a bányák késedelmes kitermelésében ellenérdekeltté tegye a vállalkozásokat). A járadék mértékének befagyasztása következtében olyan paradox helyzet áll elő, amelyben a MOL de facto előnyhöz jut abból adódóan, hogy nem teljesítette kötelezettségeit.

(26)

A magyar hatóságok állítása szerint a MOL ugyan egyes esetekben lehetséges, hogy alacsonyabb járadékot fizet, mint amennyire a bányászati törvény kötelezné, bizonyos esetekben viszont valójában magasabb összeget fizet (pl. a magas inertgáz tartalmú földgáz esetében). Továbbá a MOL 20 milliárd HUF összegű egyszeri kártalanítási díjat is fizetett. Ezzel kapcsolatban meg kell jegyezni, hogy a bányászati törvény 1,2 %-os szorzó alkalmazását tette lehetővé, amely akár 14,4 %-kal megemelt járadékot eredményezett volna (12 × 1,2). Ez a felek által ténylegesen megállapított szorzónál több mint 2 százalékponttal magasabb. Tekintetbe véve az elméletileg lehetségeshez képest viszonylag alacsony szinten megállapított szorzót, a hosszabbítás logikája alapján indokolt a kezdeti kártalanítási díj.

(27)

Továbbá Magyarország azt állítja, hogy a járadék emelése a gyakorlatban ritkán fordul elő, és a felek nem számíthattak a jogszabály ilyen jellegű változására, ezzel magyarázható, hogy nem került külön záradék a szerződésbe, amely foglalkozott volna a bányajáradék lehetséges emelésével. Két olyan tény van, amely ezen állításnak ellentmond. Egyrészt a hosszabbítási szerződést az illetékes miniszter írta alá; ebből adódóan igen nehezen fogadható el az az érv, hogy a bányajáradék olyan díjtétel, amelyet valamilyen teljességgel kívülálló harmadik fél ró ki. Másrészt a hosszabbítási megállapodás explicit módon kizárja az alkalmazandó járadék módosítását a szerződés teljes időtartamára vonatkozóan.

(28)

Ugyan nehezen bizonyítható, mik voltak a felek szándékai a szerződés megkötésekor, a magyar államtól elvárható lett volna érdekeinek védelme. Mindenesetre teret szentelhetett volna e kérdésnek a bányászati törvény módosításában. Ezenfelül az emelés a 2008 előtt megkötött engedélyezési megállapodásokra is kiterjed, ami azt támasztja alá, hogy az engedéllyel rendelkező vállalkozásoknak nincs arra vonatkozó jogos elvárása, illetve szerzett joga, hogy az általuk fizetendő járadék szintje az engedélyük teljes időtartama alatt változatlan marad.

(29)

Továbbá amikor egy vállalkozás hatósági engedélyt kap egy bánya kitermelésére, el kell fogadnia az illeték összegének jövőbeli lehetséges módosításait. Egyértelműen ezt igazolja, hogy a 2008-as törvénymódosítás visszamenőleges hatállyal bírt, azaz az emelés a 2008 előtti hatósági engedélyek feltételeit is befolyásolta (16). Ez bizonyítékul szolgál arra nézve, hogy az engedéllyel rendelkező vállalkozásoknak nincs jogos elvárása, illetve szerzett joga arra vonatkozóan, hogy az általuk fizetendő járadék szintje engedélyük teljes időtartama alatt változatlan marad. A jogi keret alapján semmilyen más piaci szereplő nem számíthatott volna arra, hogy a MOL-szerződéssel megegyező feltételekkel ilyen jellegű hosszabbítási megállapodást kötnének vele.

(30)

Mint a fenti 2. táblázatból látható, a MOL által fizetendő bányajáradék szinte minden esetben (17) kedvezőbb, mint a hasonló versenytársak által fizetendő összeg. Kétségtelen, hogy a régebbi mezők tekintetében a MOL nem rendelkezik közvetlen versenytárssal. Azonban számításba véve, hogy a MOL meghosszabbítás által érintett mezőit 2005 után állították termelésbe (és különösen azt, hogy e mezők egy része esetében erre még mindig nem került sor), az intézkedés potenciálisan hátrányos megkülönböztetést jelent az új piacra lépőkre nézve.

(31)

Továbbá a MOL üzleti működését kiszámíthatóbbá teszi, hogy bányajáradékát befagyasztották, míg a versenytársak az illeték változásaival szembesülhetnek. Végül a MOL által a hosszabbítási szerződés értelmében fizetendő járadék mentes az ún. Brent-felártól, amelyet a bányászati törvény módosítása vezetett be. Az áringadozási záradék alóli mentesség komoly kockázatkizárást jelent a MOL számára, és versenytársaihoz képest kiszámíthatóbbá teszi üzleti tevékenységét.

(32)

Tehát a hosszabbítási szerződés megszövegezésének módja minden jövőbeli változás alól mentességet biztosított a MOL számára. Ebből az következik, hogy a vállalkozást előnyhöz juttatták olyan versenytársaival szemben, akik pedig betartották engedélyükbe foglalt feltételeket.

A verseny torzítása és a kereskedelemre gyakorolt hatás

(33)

A Magyarország által benyújtott információk szerint Magyarországon csupán három vállalkozás foglalkozik szénhidrogén-kitermeléssel (18). Ugyanakkor egy korábban benyújtott felsorolás két másik olyan vállalkozást (19) is tartalmazott, amely az adatok szerint végzett szénhidrogén-kitermeléssel kapcsolatos tevékenységeket 2007-ben. Ezenfelül vannak arra utaló jelek, hogy több más vállalkozás is folytat kutatást Magyarország területén (20), ami esetleg szénhidrogén-kitermeléshez vezethet.

3.3.   Az állami támogatás meglétére vonatkozó következtetés

(34)

A kifejtett érvek alapján a Bizottság úgy ítéli meg, hogy az intézkedés megfelel az EK-Szerződés 87. cikkének (1) bekezdésében felsorolt kritériumoknak, amit a következők indokolnak:

a)

Az intézkedés mentesíti a MOL-t olyan költségektől, amelyeket egyébként viselnie kellene. Bár elismerjük, hogy a határidő-hosszabbítási szerződés nincs nyílt ellentétben az akkor hatályos bányászati törvény rendelkezéseivel, valamint azt is, hogy a magyar államnak jogában áll a vonatkozó jogszabályok megváltoztatásával meghatározni a bányajáradékok szintjét, a kérdéses esetben a következőről van szó: i. a határidő-hosszabbítási szerződés oly módon lett kialakítva, amely ellentétes a bányászati törvény szellemével, és a MOL számára kedvezményes elbánást biztosít; ii. a határidő-hosszabbítási megállapodás és az ezt követő törvénymódosítás együttes hatásában azt eredményezi, hogy a vállalkozás előnyre tesz szert.

b)

Az intézkedés olyan bevételekről való lemondással jár, amelyekre az állam jogosult lenne, tehát állami forrásból nyújtják. Az, hogy az intézkedés szerződés formájában valósul meg, önmagában nem releváns, mivel bármilyen jogi formában nyújtható állami támogatás.

c)

A kivétel egyetlen vállalkozásra irányul, tehát a szelektivitás kritériuma teljesül. A MOL integrált olaj- és gázipari társaság, amely egyértelműen vállalkozásnak minősül. Versenyben áll más vállalkozásokkal, amelyek nem részesülnek az intézkedésből származó előnyökből. Tehát az intézkedés torzítja a versenyt. Továbbá olyan ágazatban folytatja tevékenységét, amelyben kereskedelmi kapcsolatok vannak a tagállamok között, tehát a Közösségen belüli kereskedelemre gyakorolt hatás kritériuma szintén teljesül.

(35)

Ilyen feltételek mellett a kérdéses intézkedést az EK-Szerződés 87. cikkének (1) bekezdése értelmében állami támogatásnak kell minősíteni.

3.4.   Az állami támogatás összeegyeztethetősége

(36)

A Bizottság előzetesen úgy ítéli meg, hogy a MOL javára hozott intézkedés az információk alapján állami támogatásnak minősül. E tekintetben összeegyeztethetőségét az EK-Szerződés 87. cikkének (2) és (3) bekezdésében foglalt kivételek fényében kell értékelni.

(37)

Az EK-Szerződés 87. cikke (2) bekezdésében meghatározott kivételek – a magánszemély fogyasztóknak nyújtott szociális jellegű támogatás, a természeti csapások vagy más rendkívüli események által okozott károk helyreállítására nyújtott támogatás és a Németországi Szövetségi Köztársaság egyes területei számára nyújtott támogatás – erre az esetre nem vonatkoznak.

(38)

Az EK-Szerződés 87. cikke (3) bekezdésének a) pontja által biztosított kivétel szerint engedélyezhető az olyan területek gazdasági fejlődését előmozdító támogatás, ahol rendkívül alacsony az életszínvonal vagy jelentős az alulfoglalkoztatottság, ugyanakkor ebben az esetben ez a kivétel nem tűnik alkalmazhatónak, mivel a támogatás ilyen magyarországi régiók gazdasági fejlődésére nézve nem biztosít előnyt.

(39)

Az intézkedés nem tekinthető sem közös európai érdeket szolgáló projektnek, sem egy tagállam gazdaságában bekövetkezett komoly zavar megszüntetését szolgáló eszköznek, mint ezt az EK-Szerződés 87. cikke (3) bekezdésének b) pontja megfogalmazza, továbbá nem irányul a kultúra és a kulturális örökség megőrzésének előmozdítására sem az EK-Szerződés 87. cikke (3) bekezdésének d) pontja értelmében.

(40)

Végül az intézkedést meg kell vizsgálni az EK-Szerződés 87. cikke (3) bekezdésének c) pontja értelmében, amely szerint engedélyezhető az egyes gazdasági tevékenységek vagy gazdasági területek fejlődését előmozdító támogatás, amennyiben az ilyen támogatás nem befolyásolja hátrányosan a kereskedelmi feltételeket a közös érdekekkel ellentétes mértékben. A vizsgálat jelenlegi stádiumában a Bizottság kétségesnek tartja az intézkedés lehetséges összeegyeztethetőségét a 87. cikk (3) bekezdésének c) pontja által biztosított derogációval. A magyar hatóságok sem hoztak fel olyan érveket, amelyek azt bizonyítanák, hogy e kivétel alkalmazható lenne a szóban forgó esetre.

(41)

A Bizottság ehelyett azon az állásponton van, hogy a kérdéses intézkedés csökkenti azokat a költségeket, amelyeket rendes körülmények között a MOL-nak viselnie kellene, ezért tehát működési támogatásnak kell minősíteni. Az ilyen jellegű támogatás nem ítélhető összeegyeztethetőnek a közös piaccal, mivel semmiféle tevékenység vagy gazdasági régió fejlődését nem segíti elő, és időben nem korlátozott, nem csökkenő és nem arányos semmilyen sajátos gazdasági hátrány orvoslásának vonatkozásában.

(42)

A Bizottság tehát megállapítja, hogy a felülvizsgálat tárgyát képező intézkedés nem tűnik összeegyeztethetőnek a közös piaccal.

4.   KÖVETKEZTETÉS

(43)

A Bizottság egyértelmű utalásokat talált arra nézve, hogy a Magyarország által végrehajtott vitatott intézkedés állami támogatást jelent, és kétségei vannak arra vonatkozóan, hogy ez a támogatás a közös piaccal összeegyeztethetőnek tekinthető-e. Ezért a Bizottság úgy határozott, hogy a leírt intézkedéssel kapcsolatban megindítja az EK-Szerződés 88. cikke (2) bekezdése szerinti hivatalos vizsgálati eljárást.

Határozat

1.

A fenti megfontolások alapján a Bizottság úgy határozott, hogy megindítja az EK-Szerződés 88. cikkének (2) bekezdésében meghatározott eljárást, továbbá felkéri a magyar hatóságokat, hogy e levél kézhezvételétől számított egy hónapon belül nyújtsák be mindazon dokumentumokat, információkat és adatokat, amelyek a támogatás összeegyeztethetőségének értékeléséhez szükségesek. Ezeknek az információknak különösen a következőkre kell kiterjedniük:

Egy olyan lista, amely – a MOL-t is beleértve – mindazon vállalkozásokat felsorolja, amelyek 1998 és 2008 között bejelentésük szerint foglalkoztak szénhidrogén-kitermeléssel Magyarországon, továbbá egy olyan lista, amely ugyanezen időszak vonatkozásában az összes aktív földgáz-és kőolajlelőhelyet tartalmazza. Az alábbi adatokat kell feltüntetni: a működés jogi szabályozásának módja (koncesszió vagy engedély); a koncesszió/engedély dátuma; a termelés megkezdésének időpontja; az évente kitermelt szénhidrogén típusa, mennyisége és értéke; a bányajáradék egyes mezőkre és egyes időszakokra vonatkozóan alkalmazott szintje; valamint a ténylegesen kifizetett bányajáradék összege.

A határidő-hosszabbítási megállapodás által érintett MOL-bányatelkek (azaz a 12 meghosszabbított bányászati jogú bányatelek, valamit az összes olyan bányatelek, amelyre a rögzített bányajáradékot alkalmazták) esetében kérjük, közöljék minden egyes időszak és mező esetében a hipotetikus bányajáradéki szintet és a bányailleték azon összegét, amelyet a vállalkozásnak 2006 és 2008 között ki kellett volna fizetnie, ha ezek a mezők a 2008-as bányászati törvény rendelkezéseinek hatálya alá tartoztak volna, figyelembe véve minden releváns tényezőt, úgymint a kitermelt mennyiséget, a Brent-felárat, a kitermelési feltételeket stb.

A 2006 és 2009 közötti időszakban szénhidrogén-kutatást folytató, illetve erre vonatkozó engedéllyel rendelkező bányászati vállalkozások listája.

Az 1993. évi bányászati törvény minden releváns változatának teljes szövegét, feltüntetve a módosító jogszabályt, valamint a módosítás időpontját és hatályba lépését.

2.

A Bizottság kéri a magyar hatóságokat, hogy e levél másolatát azonnal továbbítsák a támogatás lehetséges kedvezményezettje részére.

3.

A Bizottság felhívja a figyelmet a 659/1999/EK tanácsi rendelet 14. cikkére, amely értelmében sor kerülhet az érintett tagállam által a kedvezményezettől való minden jogellenes támogatás visszafizettetésére.

4.

A Bizottság emlékezteti Magyarországot, hogy az érdekelt feleket e levélnek és tartalmi összefoglalójának az Európai Unió Hivatalos Lapjában történő közzététele útján tájékoztatja. E levél másolatának megküldésével az EFTA Felügyeleti Hatóságot is értesíti. Valamennyi érdekelt felet felkéri továbbá, hogy a közzétételt követő egy hónapon belül nyújtsa be észrevételeit.’

(15)  2007-ben a MOL mezőiből származott a Magyarországon kitermelt teljes földgázmennyiség 96 %-a, a kőolaj esetében pedig ez az érték elérte a 100 %-ot.

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 510/2006

‘LIMONE INTERDONATO MESSINA’

EC No: IT-PGI-005-0558-16.10.2006

PGI ( X ) PDO ( )

1.   Name

‘Limone Interdonato Messina’

2.   Member State or Third Country

Italy

3.   Description of the agricultural product or foodstuff

3.1.   Type of product (Annex II)

Class 1.6: Fruit, vegetables and cereals, fresh or processed

3.2.   Description of the product to which the name in (1) applies

The ‘Limone Interdonato Messina’ Protected Geographical Indication is reserved for the ‘Interdonato’ cultivar, a natural hybrid between a citron clone and a lemon clone. On placing on the market, it must have the following characteristics: FRUIT: medium to heavy, weighing between 80 g and 350 g; SHAPE: oval with a pronounced umbo and a shallow stem joint; EPICARP: thin and smooth with distended oil glands; COLOUR: at the start of ripening for the market, matt green to yellow and on physiological maturity, yellow with matt green ends; FLESH: yellow, deliquescent with medium texture and very few or no pips; JUICE: lemon yellow with a yield of not less than 25 %. Total acidity is less than 50 g/l with no less than 6,2 °Brix. COMMERCIAL CATEGORY: Extra and I.

The ‘Limone Interdonato Messina’ PGI is harvested from 1 September to 15 April.

3.3.   Raw materials (for processed products only)

3.4.   Feed (for products of animal origin only)

3.5.   Specific steps in production that must take place in the identified geographical area

Production operations must take place within the production area defined in point 4 in order to ensure the origin and control of the product as provided for in Article 4(2)(e) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006. Harvesting is carried out by hand during the period referred to in point 3.2 using scissors so as not to remove the ‘button’ (stem stub).

3.6.   Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc.

Lemons covered by the ‘Limone Interdonato Messina’ PGI that are not marketed immediately after harvesting may be stored at low temperature. They are stored in cold stores in which a high relative humidity level is maintained (75-95 %) to conserve the turgidity of the fruit. The air is changed (5 time the volume of the store every 24 hours) to remove the carbon dioxide and ethylene that builds up as the fruit breathes. The lemons are stored at a temperature of between 6 and 11 °C. The fruit must be packed within 30 days of harvest.

‘Limone Interdonato Messina’ PGI lemons are marketed in wooden, plastic and/or cardboard containers and/or trays, in nets of a maximum weight of 5 kg and in corrugated cardboard bins. Packages, bags and bins must be sealed to prevent the contents being removed without breaking the seal. The lemons may also be released for consumption in bulk provided each fruit is identified by an individual sticker.

3.7.   Specific rules concerning labelling

The label on the packaging must carry a reference to the ‘Limone Interdonato Messina’ PGI and the logo, in characters larger than those of the other information given on the label, the name, business name and address of the producer and/or packager and the commercial category (‘Extra’ or ‘I’).

Image

The logo is composed of two concentric circles: inside the first circle, against a background of the same green colour as the Interdonato lemon at the beginning of ripening, appear the words: ‘LIMONE INTERDONATO’ and two photographs of the lemon. Inside the second circle, against a blue background representing the sea is the image of Colonel Interdonato, the breeder of the eponymous cultivar, a depiction of Sicily and the word ‘Messina’, supplementing the PGI.

4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

The production area for the ‘Limone Interdonato Messina’ PGI covers the whole of the following municipalities in the Province of Messina: Messina, Scaletta Zanclea, Itala, Alì, Alì' Terme, Nizza di Sicilia, Roccalumera, Fiumedinisi, Pagliara, Mandanici, Furci Siculo, S.Teresa di Riva, Letojanni, S. Alessio Siculo, Forza D'Agrò, Taormina, Casalvecchio Siculo, Giardini Naxos and Savoca.

5.   Link with the geographical area

5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

The geographical area in which ‘Limone Interdonato Messina’ PGI is grown covers a broad swathe of the Ionian coast of Messina, with a uniform exposure to the Ionian Sea, and takes in all the municipal areas between Messina and Taormina.

The cultivar is found from sea level to around 400 above sea level, but is also found higher up on the fertile shores of the area's numerous streams and drainage basins.

The orography is shaped by the Peloritani mountain chain, which rises sharply from the Ionian Sea and has its highest peaks close to the coast, giving a mountainous terrain and steep slopes, even at low altitude. In fact, most of the terrain has a gradient of more than 40 % and the only level land is to be found near the banks of streams and near the coast.

Regarding the area's geology, stratigraphically, the north-eastern corner of Sicily is linked to Calabria, with a base of granitic, schistose and phylladic rocks covered by more recent soils. This base is probably Cambrian and comprises a seam of porphyroid granite and schist.

The post-Cambrian marine sedimentation is made up of alternate layers of limestone, dolomites, schists and clays, with the successive series of Pliocene sedimentations represented by basal conglomerates, marls, clays and finally loose sandstones and sand.

As regards tectonics, the principal consequences of such a geological structure are fragmentation of the rocks, leading to the formation of springs, and stable soils with thick alluvial deposits, encouraging the accumulation of infiltration water on the water table. These two factors ensure the availability of groundwater for irrigation.

The area has a range of soils, with a predominance of alluvial lithosols and extremely fertile brown soils.

As regards the area's hydrology, note should be taken of the widespread presence of watercourses, which become streams only exceptionally, following heavy rainfall. Waters rich in sulphur, salt, bromine and iodine are found in the subsoil and are exploited by thermal spas.

Water resources therefore principally consist of hydrometeors, springs and groundwater drawn from a large number of wells.

The area's climate is typically Mediterranean, with mild winters and long, dry, hot summer periods.

The prevailing winds are from the west and the north-east. During winter, the maestrale and the libeccio are frequent and can be particularly strong. Also very evident is the scirocco, a hot, humid wind that blows from the south-south-east for long periods.

From the above, it can be seen that the soil, terrain, climate and environment of the area in which the ‘Limone Interdonato Messina’ is grown constitute a unique environmental system not found elsewhere.

The proof is that lemon trees of the Interdonato cultivar grown on hillsides in other parts of Sicily and in Calabria have never produced fruit with the same prized typical and specific characteristics as those grown in the defined area.

5.2.   Specificity of the product

The basic characteristics of the ‘Limone Interdonato Messina’ are its early ripening, which means that it can be placed on the market before any yellow lemons have been produced in the other citrus-growing areas of the Mediterranean, the sweetness of its flesh because of its low citric acid content (less than 50 g/l), exceptional resistance to ‘mal secco’ disease (Phoma tracheiphila) of citrus fruits and a smooth, thin, fine-grained epicarp with distended oil glands.

5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)

The application for registration of ‘Limone Interdonato Messina’ as a PGI is justified by the reputation this product has always enjoyed in the area where it is grown. It was back in 1875 that Colonel Interdonato, a hero of Garibaldi's campaigns, selected this particular cultivar, whose fruits are distinguished by their early ripening, their large size, their long, cylindrical shape, their juiciness and their very smooth peal. It was soon recognised and appreciated by the inhabitants of the region, who also gave it other names such: ‘limone speciale’ or ‘fino’, which are still used today in conjunction with the name ‘Limone Interdonato’. The fruit's basic characteristics, in particular its early ripening, the sweetness of its flesh because of its low citric acid content and its thin epicarp are the result of a combination of factors: soil, climate, tree and cultivation methods typical of the PGI production area. Among the agronomic practices that are important in developing the specific characteristics of the Interdonato cultivar grown in the PGI production area are fertilisation based on the addition of high levels of organic substances and on slow-release nitrogen fertilisers. Since it is scientifically proven that nitrate supplements have a strong influence on the roughness of the epicarp, the use of slow-release organic fertilisers favours the gradual uptake of nitrogen by the plant and the distension of the fruit's oil glands. Another special technique used is adequate and continuous irrigation throughout the fruit's growing and ripening period, which is mainly during summer. The presence of ‘Limone Interdonato Messina’ on the Ionian coast of the Province of Messina is a natural development brought about by a combination of natural and human factors peculiar to the production area and that can be reproduced nowhere else. This is confirmed by the failure of all attempts to extend cultivation to the neighbouring areas of Catania and the western slopes of Messina along the Tyrrhenian coast, while cultivation has remained stable and productive in the area of origin. In addition, the fruit's early ripening is also, without doubt, due to the citron clone from which the ‘Interdonato’ cultivar originates. To sum up, as early as the XIX century, the ‘Limone Interdonato’ reshaped the landscape of the whole of the Ionian coast of the Province of Messina, which acquired the reputation of being a ‘land of ever-verdant gardens’, influencing the economy, customs, the social make-up, events, culture, rites and traditions.

3.   Amendment(s):

3.1.   Name of product:

The PDO name is ‘Picodon’ (instead of ‘Picodon de l'Ardèche ou Picodon de la Drôme’).

Justification:

The term ‘Picodon’ is traditionally associated with the geographical area in which this PDO is produced. Numerous documents (books, songs, letters, etc.) show that the term is used locally to refer to a local cheese produced only in that area.

The use of this term to refer to cheeses that do not conform to the specifications of ‘Picodon de la Drôme ou Picodon de l'Ardèche’ has caused confusion among consumers. Producers therefore wished to revert to the traditional name by changing the PDO so that it is known only as ‘Picodon’.

3.2.   Description of product:

The cheese is shaped like a small, round puck of between 5 cm and 7 cm in diameter and 1,8 cm and 2,5 cm in height (instead of 1 cm and 3 cm), with a minimum weight of 60 g.

It has a thin rind with pale yellow or white mould, possibly specked with blue. The cheese itself is white or yellow in colour, with an even and fine texture, giving a clean cut, though it can become crumbly if matured for longer. It has a fresh, characteristic flavour that is neither too salty nor too acidic. When ‘Picodon’ undergoes a special maturing process known as the Dieulefit method, the resulting cheese has the following characteristics:

diameter: 4,5 cm to 6 cm,

height: 1,3 cm to 2,5 cm,

minimum weight: 45 g.

Such cheese has a white, ivory, grey or light cream surface with slight traces of colour. It has a marbled appearance when cut, with a fine, even and pliable texture. It has a fresh favour, which is characterised by a slightly sharp and ‘goaty’ taste.

Justification:

The weight and diameter of the product and the appearance of the rind and the cheese have been added to the product description. The height has been specified.

Cheese that is known as ‘affiné méthode Dieulefit’ (Dieulefit matured) has certain special characteristics with regard to its diameter, height, minimum weight and appearance which should be specified.

3.3.   Method of production:

The milk used should come only from milking herds made up of Alpine or Saanen breeds, their crossbreeds or local stock.

There are specifications regarding the maximum number of goats per hectare, the origin of their feed and its composition. No silage products or other fermented products may be used on the holding for the purpose of feeding the goats. Where weather conditions allow, the goats must be outside, with permanent access to an exercise yard.

There are specifications regarding the milk, the time limit and conditions for its use, renneting (using rennet made from animal stomachs), the timing and duration of curdling (with specific conditions laid down for farmhouse production), moulding (ladled by hand, without pre-draining, into a mould with a bottom with rounded edges) salting and removal from the mould (after no more than 48 hours).

There are specifications relating to the authorised ingredients, stipulating that the milk may not be concentrated and prohibiting the storage of products at temperatures below zero or in a modified atmosphere during manufacture. In addition to the raw dairy materials, the only ingredients, production aids or additives authorised in the milk during production are rennet, innocuous bacterial cultures, yeasts, moulds, calcium chloride and salt.

There are specifications regarding the drying (lasting at least 24 hours) and maturing (at the specified temperature and humidity for at least eight days after drying) stages. Cheeses may not leave the production facility until at least 14 days after renneting (instead of drying and maturing for at least 12 days following renneting), with the exception of fresh cheeses being taken to cheese maturers.

There are special conditions for manufacturing Dieulefit-matured cheese (namely, placing the cheese in a cask for at least 15 days in conditions conducive to the development of surface moulds, followed by a second stage of maturing in specific conditions, with the cheese being washed at least twice).

Justification:

The details added to the specification relate to practices already followed by producers when making the product but hitherto not laid down in the specification.

The producers considered it necessary to ask for them to be formally included in the specification in order to protect the PDO from possible deviations. The additional information is therefore intended to provide further details on the character of the product, while strengthening the link with its origins.

Furthermore, as regards the use of treatments and additives for cheeses (which is subject to general rules), it appears that some new techniques, such as microfiltration, partial concentration of milk or enzymes for the maturing process, have a potential impact on the characteristics of cheeses with designations of origin.

It has therefore been decided that PDO specifications should stipulate the current practices regarding the use of treatments and additives for milk and in cheese manufacture, in order to prevent future practices not covered by the rules from undermining the characteristics of PDO cheeses.

3.4.   Link:

The link includes additional information regarding:

the history of the manufacturing of ‘Picodon’,

the origin of the traditional name ‘Picodon’,

the description of the geographical, climatic and soil characteristics of the area.

Justification:

The producers wished to place greater emphasis on the link with the geographical area.

3.5.   Labelling:

All cheeses with the registered designation of origin ‘Picodon’ must bear a label showing the PDO name in a font two thirds the size of the largest font used on the label and displaying the words ‘Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée’ (Registered Designation of Origin). The name and address of the manufacturer must also be shown on the label.

Justification:

Lifting the requirement to affix the special logo for registered designations of origin.

3.6.   National requirements

‘Décret du 29 décembre 1986’ is replaced by ‘Décret relatif à l'appellation d'origine contrôlée “Picodon”’.

(Summary of requirements under Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 510/2006)

4.1.   Name:

‘Picodon’

4.2.   Description:

‘Picodon’ is a goats' milk cheese shaped like a small round puck. It has a thin rind with pale yellow or white mould, possibly specked with blue. The cheese itself is white or yellow in colour, with an even and fine texture, giving a clean cut, though it can become crumbly if matured for longer. It has a fresh flavour that is neither too salty nor too acidic.

Cheeses labelled as ‘affiné méthode Dieulefit’ (Dieulefit matured) have a white, ivory, grey or light cream surface with slight traces of colour. They have a marbled appearance when cut, with a fine, even and pliable texture. Their fresh flavour is characterised by a slightly sharp and ‘goaty’ taste.

‘Picodon’ cheeses must weigh a minimum of 60 g, except if they are ‘affiné méthode Dieulefit’, in which case their minimum weight is 45 g, owing to weight loss caused by washing during the longer maturing process.

This little round cheese has a diameter ranging between 5 cm and 7 cm and a height of between 1,8 cm and 2,5 cm. As a result of the washing process, Dieulefit-matured ‘Picodon’ cheeses are smaller, with a diameter of between 4,5 cm and 6 cm and a height of between 1,3 cm and 2,5 cm.

The fat content of the cheese (fat/dry matter) must be at least 45 %, and its dry matter content may not be lower than 40 % per 100 g of cheese.

4.3.   Geographical area:

The geographical area comprises all the communes in the departments of Ardèche and Drôme as well as all the communes in the cantons of Valréas (department of Vaucluse) and Barjac (department of Gard).

4.4.   Proof of origin:

All milk producers, processing plants and maturing facilities fill in an identification declaration, which is registered with the inspection authorities, allowing them to identify all operators involved. All operators must ensure that their records and any documents required for checking the origin, quality and production conditions of the milk and cheese are made available to the inspection authorities. Furthermore, all operators must provide evidence of clear weekly accounts showing all incoming and outgoing milk and cheese.

Lastly, products undergo analysis and organoleptic tests to ensure that they conform to the quality and characteristics laid down in the PDO.

4.5.   Method of production:

The milk is produced and the cheese manufactured and matured in the geographical area.

The milk used to produce ‘Picodon’ comes exclusively from goats of the Alpine or Saanen breeds, their crossbreeds or local stock. The goats are herded according to local custom. The land used on the holding as pasture, for cheese production or to grow grain as feed for the herd must be at least one hectare for every 10 goats. At least 80 % of the basic feed ration is made up of forage or grain from within the geographical area. The goats are not fed silage products or any other fermented fodder at any time of the year. Dehydrated products must not make up more than 20 % of their feed, except in exceptional weather conditions. The herd's basic feed must come from the specified area.

It is prohibited to keep the goats in permanent confinement. Where weather conditions allow, they must have access to an exercise yard.

‘Picodon’ is made exclusively with whole goats' milk. In addition to the raw dairy materials, the only ingredients, production aids or additives authorised in the milk during production are rennet, innocuous bacterial cultures, yeasts, moulds, calcium chloride and salt.

The addition of concentrated or powdered milk or milk proteins is banned, as is the use of ultrafiltration. For farmhouse production, raw milk must be used. It may be thermised for dairy production.

The milk is curdled by adding a lactic starter or some whey to which a little rennet of animal origin has been added. The temperature of the milk during renneting must be between 20 °C and 25 °C. The curdling process is slow, taking between 18 and 48 hours to reach a pH of 4 to 4,5.

For farmhouse cheeses, curdling must take place no more than 14 hours after the first batch of milk was drawn.

The use of frozen curd is prohibited.

The curds are moulded by hand, without pre-draining, by ladling them into individual moulds, either with or without the use of a distribution tray. The cheese is turned over at least once. Both sides are salted using dry fine or semi-coarse salt. It is removed from the mould after no more than 48 hours. After drying for at least 24 hours at a maximum temperature of 23 °C, the cheese is ready for maturing.

It matures for a minimum of eight days at a temperature of between 12 °C and 18 °C and a relative humidity of at least 80 %.

The cheese may be sold only after 14 days have elapsed since renneting.

It must be cooled at a temperature above 0 °C.

Dieulefit-matured cheese undergoes a longer maturing process, during which the cheese is periodically washed:

the first stage involves placing the cheese in a cask for at least 15 days in a humid location, at a temperature of between 5 °C and 10 °C and a relative humidity of more than 80 %,

the second stage of maturing takes place in a room saturated with humidity and at a temperature of between 13 °C and 17 °C. This stage lasts more than eight days, during which the cheese is washed at least twice,

the drying phase lasts a minimum of 24 hours. Drying must occur naturally. Artificial drying may be used only where weather conditions make natural drying impossible.

Such cheeses may be sold only after a month has elapsed since renneting.

4.6.   Link:

Drôme and Ardèche were long considered to be among the leading goat-farming departments in France. It is therefore hardly surprising that goats' cheese has been talked about in the region from time immemorial.

The first written mentions of the term ‘Picodon’ date back to the 19th century.

In particular, it is mentioned in Auguste Brossier's ‘Glossaire du patois de Die’ (Glossary of the Die Dialect), which was published in 1863. A train running between Dieulefit and Montélimar was given the nickname ‘le Picodon’ because of the ‘Picodon’ maturers who used it, leaving a characteristic odour behind them.

The name ‘Picodon’ is derived from an Occitan word meaning ‘sharp-tasting little cheese’.

As goats' milk production tails off in the autumn and winter, cheese making used to be the only way of preserving the surplus milk produced during the spring and summer, when lactation is at its peak.

The fact that cheese consumption was spread out over the winter months meant that the cheeses had reached different stages of maturity.

The cheese could be consumed barely dry, after maturing for only a very short time, and was then known as ‘picodon’ or, more generally, ‘tomme’. This consumption pattern continued, and it is here that ‘Picodon’, as laid down in the specifications, with its short maturing period of a minimum of 14 days, could be thought to have its origins. However, during the winter, surplus ‘Picodon’ cheeses were stored in earthenware jars.

‘The Picodon was wrapped in leaves and stored in a “bitcho” (a type of two-handled earthenware pot). Every 15 days, the cheese was taken out of its pot, washed and rewrapped in leaves’. In this way, the cheese could be kept for a long time, taking on characteristic smells and flavours.

This can be seen as a variation of the Dieulefit maturing technique as recognised by law.

‘Picodon’ is produced in the hills that rise up on both sides of the Rhône valley. It is typical of this poor, arid, mountainous region, whose geology and climate will support nothing but goat farming. It continues to be made in the area, as passed down from generation to generation, and is an indispensable source of income.

The production criteria are defined in such a way as to preserve the specific features of the area and enable them to be reflected in the product.
