(Case C-677/11) (<span class="super">1</span>)
(Article 107(1) TFEU - State aid - Concept of ‘State resources’ - Concept of ‘imputability to the State’ - Inter-trade organisations in the agricultural sector - Recognised organisations - Common activities decided on by those organisations in the interests of trade - Financing by means of contributions introduced on a voluntary basis by those organisations - Administrative measure making those contributions compulsory for all traders in the agricultural industry affected)
2013/C 225/35
Language of the case: French
Applicants: Doux Élevage SNC, Coopérative agricole UKL-ARREE
Defendants: Ministère de l’Agriculture, de l’Alimentation, de la Pêche, de la Ruralité et de l’Aménagement du territoire, Comité interprofessionnel de la dinde française (CIDEF)
Request for a preliminary ruling — Conseil d’État — Interpretation of Article 107 TFEU in the light of Case C-354/02 <span class="italic">Pearle and Others</span> — Decision by which a national authority extends to all the traders in an industry an agreement which introduces the levying of a contribution in an inter-trade organisation recognised by that authority and renders that contribution compulsory — Implementation of publicity activities, promotional activities, external relations activities, activities in defence of the sector’s interests — Financing of activities which are contrary to EU law — Concept of ‘aid’
Article 107(1) TFEU must be interpreted as meaning that a decision by which a national authority extends to all traders in an agricultural industry an agreement which, like the inter-trade agreement at issue in the main proceedings, introduces the levying of a contribution in an inter-trade organisation recognised by that national authority, thus rendering that contribution compulsory, in order to make it possible to implement publicity activities, promotional activities, external relations activities, quality assurance activities, research activities and activities in defence of the sector’s interests, does not constitute State aid.
