Key Benefits:
Taking into account the doctrine of the Constitutional Court, the centralized management of the funds allocated to the grants referred to in this royal decree is foreseen as the most appropriate means to ensure the full effectiveness of the measures within the basic management of the sector, and to ensure the same possibilities of obtaining and enjoyment by their potential recipients throughout the national territory, by establishing a uniform criteria for access to aid, which are essential in this case where the aid is not it is compartmentalized, but extends to the whole of the production system, while at the same time being a necessary means of preventing the total amount of such aid from exceeding the European Union funds allocated to them. In addition, this form of management is supported by the fact that the promotion measures, the implementation of which is intended to achieve this rule, affect the whole of the sector, so they only make sense if their character is maintained. supra-land.
In this respect and in accordance with the established constitutional jurisprudence in the field of public aid, in this royal decree the circumstances that will protect the centralization of the aids are given, according to the "fourth assumption" of the Judgment of the Constitutional Court 13/1992, in its Legal Foundation (8.D) described in the preceding paragraph, thus corresponding to the centralised management, when it is essential to ensure the full effectiveness of the measures of promotion within the basic management of the sector, to guarantee the same possibilities of to obtain and enjoy the same by their potential recipients throughout the national territory, while at the same time being a means necessary to avoid exceeding the overall amount of the funds or appropriations which have been allocated to the sector, (SSTC 95/1986; 152/1988 and 201/1988).
These grants are managed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment, based on Article 149.1.13. of the Spanish Constitution, which attributes exclusive competence to the State on the basis of general coordination of economic activity.
Thus, in the words of the judgment of the Constitutional Court 45/2001, of February 15, " article 149.1.13. of the Spanish Constitution can protect both state norms that set the guidelines and the global criteria The Court of First Instance held that the Court of First Instance held that the Court of First Instance held that the Court of Justice held that the Court of First Instance held that the Court of First Instance in it) ". In short, the State has reserved, by the aforementioned Article 149.1.13, a management competence in which it has basic rules and, likewise, forecasts of actions or singular measures that are necessary to achieve the objectives proposed as part of the organisation of the sector (judgment of the Constitutional Court 117/1992 of 16 September).
This is due to its cross-cutting character, since there is still competition on an economic sub-sector which an autonomous community has assumed to be 'exclusive' in its Statute, this competence does not preclude competition. In order to establish the bases and coordination of this sub-sector, the autonomous exercise of this exclusive competence may be conditioned by State measures, which in the exercise of their own and differentiated competence can be deployed. autonomously on various fields or subjects, provided that the aim pursued responds in fact to an objective of economic planning (judgment of the Constitutional Court 74/2014 of 8 May).
Likewise, the judgment of the Constitutional Court 11/2015, FJ 4, for reference to the judgment of the Constitutional Court 79/1992, of 28 May, FJ 2, has recalled that " the field of agriculture and animal husbandry is of those that its importance tolerates the fixing of guidelines and global criteria of management as well as forecasts of actions or singular measures that are necessary to achieve the proposed objectives within the planning of each sector, highlighting " ... in the field of agriculture and livestock farming, with the specific competence of the autonomous communities ... the State may intervene by virtue of its general powers on the general management of the economy. ""
The doctrine on the use of supra-land as a criterion for the allocation of powers to the State is recalled in the judgment of the Constitutional Court 27/2014 of 13 February, FJ 4, in the following terms: " The use of supra-land as a determining criterion for the allocation or transfer of the ownership of powers to the State in areas, in principle, reserved for the autonomous powers, has, according to our doctrine, character exceptional, so that it can only take place when it is not possible to establish any (i) a connection enabling the exercise of the powers of the regional authority or, in addition to the supra-regional character of the phenomenon which is the subject of competition, the division of public activity against it is not possible, even in this case, that action cannot be exercised either by means of cooperation or coordination mechanisms and, therefore, requires a degree of homogeneity which can only guarantee its attribution to a single holder, necessarily the State, and where necessary use a supra-ordered entity with the ability to integrate competing interests of its partial components, without forgetting the imminent danger of irreparable damage, which places us in the field of state of need (Judgment of the Constitutional Court 102/1995, of June 26, FJ 8) (judgment of the Constiess opportunities.
The ultimate goal of these cooperation projects is to contribute to a sustainable supply of biomass between the food sector agents that receive it or provide it. This supply can be performed horizontally or vertically. In addition, this supply is done in parallel and in a complementary way to the value chain of companies in the sector involved in the production, processing and distribution of foodstuffs or foodstuffs, which entails a benefit to the priority associative entities or supra-regional agri-food SMEs involved.
In relation to the rule range and in line with the established constitutional case law (STC 175/2003, of 30 September) (STC 156/2011, of 20 October) it is necessary for its regulation to be established by royal decree, to the These are basic rules of state competence.
Indeed, from the formal point of view, the High Court tutional Court 35/2012, FJ 5, by quote from the judgment of the Constitutional Court 194/2011, FJ 5) ".
Article 149.1.13. of the Spanish Constitution may in certain cases justify the reservation of executive functions to the State and also permit the use of the superland as a title to the State, but in order that such an assumption can be considered according to the order of competition two conditions must be fulfilled: that it is necessary that the action in question is reserved to the State in order to guarantee the fulfillment of the objective (a) the economic planning pursued, which could not be achieved without such a reserve, and, another side, that the use of the supra-land criterion is justified in the terms of our doctrine, that is, taking into account both the reasons provided and the congruence of the reserve of the function with the rule of the norm.
According to the High Court's doctrine, it is a matter of exercising certain measures of promotion for the cooperation of groups formed by agri-food SMEs whose scope of action is supra-autonomous, of entities priority associations of supra-regional or other legal entities operating beyond the territorial scope which constitutes the limit within which the autonomous communities exercise their powers, the principle of territoriality, In this case, it is essential to ensure that the aid is not compartmentalized, but rather extend to the whole of Spain. The cooperation project and the actions in the area will have a supra-regional approach and, therefore, the centralised management by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment ensures the application of uniform criteria. avoiding fragmentation in access to these aids and thus favouring the same possibilities of obtaining and enjoying the potential recipients who are in different autonomous communities but who are integrated into the in a single entity of supra-land scope.
In this way, an adequate application is guaranteed with the same criteria to all the possible stakeholders throughout the national territory and avoid partial or incomplete visions, as when the criterion of a community It will prevail against the rest and will administratively affect operators with no territorial and economic links. It is also intended to avoid overlaps with other regional aid which is granted for the same purposes and which are fully managed by the autonomous communities. The potential beneficiaries of such aid are therefore required to have activity in several autonomous communities, so that the regional powers are not only not affected, but also the objectives of the collaboration between entities is reinforced with this state management support line.
In this sense, it is jointly intended to promote SMEs and agri-food associationism, to break with the current atomization of food industries and to overcome economic and regional borders, through the state of laying the foundations and coordinating the general planning of economic activity and the general power to lay foundations in the field of cooperativism. In this respect, the judgments of the Constitutional Court 72/1983, 44/1984, 165/1985 and 88/1989, which expressly attribute exclusive competence to the State on cooperatives of the supra-regional scope, must be recalled.
The management and implementation of the operations of the program corresponds to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment, through the Directorate General of Rural Development and Forestry Policy, as set out in the article 7 of Royal Decree 1080/2014 of 19 December 2014 establishing the coordination regime for the management authorities of rural development programmes for the period 2014-2020.
For cooperation operations for the sustainable supply of biomass between agents receiving or providing it, intended for the production of energy in the processing of agri-food products, regulated in the This royal decree, the Directorate General of Rural Development and Forestry Policy has delegated the management and execution of the same in the Directorate General of the Food Industry and the Spanish Agricultural Guarantee Fund (FEGA) jointly, by the relevant delegation agreement dated 30 October 2015.
In general, the groups of beneficiaries applying for this aid will not be able to receive aid for the same purpose in the National Rural Development Program or in the Rural Development Programs of the communities. autonomous, for the period 2014-2020.
With this royal decree, the measures to promote the associative integration of agro-food associative entities of a supra-regional character are continued within the framework of the National Rural Development Program 2014-2020, already adopted by Royal Decree 1010/2015 of 6 November 2015 laying down the regulatory bases for the granting of aid for tangible or intangible investments in the processing, marketing and development of agricultural products, Royal Decree 126/2016 of 1 April 2016 laying down the regulatory basis for the the granting of aid to demonstration activities and information actions and Royal Decree 197/2016 of 13 May 2016 laying down the regulatory basis for the granting of aid to cooperation for joint approaches with for environmental projects and environmental practices in progress, under the 2014-2020 National Rural Development Programme.
This royal decree is issued under the protection of Article 149.1.13 of the Constitution, which attributes to the State exclusive competence in the field of bases and coordination of the general planning of economic and social activity. Pursuant to Articles 17 and concordant of Law 38/2003 of 17 November, General of Grants, the regulatory bases of these grants are established.
