Royal Decree 104/2008 of 1 February 2008 laying down the regulatory bases for the granting of subsidies to producer groups in the sheepmeat and goatmeat sectors has set in motion a specific system of State aid to those sectors, which were linked through groups of active producers. These groups had to have a sufficient dimension to meet the challenges of modernisation and restructuring which they would necessarily face as a result of the adverse economic conditions that were affecting them. feasibility and whose aggravation in 2007 resulted in various initiatives of the Congress of Deputies and in the Senate, for which the adoption of actions in favor of such sectors was urged.

The implementation of specific actions aimed at their encouragement and renewal has been aimed at ensuring their continuity and ensuring a harmonious generational change. These included specific measures designed to order supply, reduce costs, stimulate the marketing in common and promote national production, actions which were entrusted to producer groups in the framework of the Integral Action Plan for the Ovino and Caprino sectors.

After three years of implementation of Royal Decree 104/2008 of 1 February, it is worth noting that the aid scheme designed has responded satisfactorily to the objectives set and that its implementation has had an impact positive on the management of the supply of sheep and goats and the maintenance of censuses and productive structures. These groupings, which currently concentrate an important part of the national census, have been given sufficient size to benefit the competitiveness of the sectors and the progress and consolidation of the improvement of the the marketing and implementation of quality programmes, which have been covered for the first time by optional labelling schemes. All these actions have also provided an indirect stimulus to the generational change, the exploitation in harmony with the traditional uses of high environmental value and the improvement of the spatial planning through the establishment of the population. rural.

However, it is appropriate to adapt the rule to the development of the sector and to the new challenges arising from the so-called "health check of the CAP", including the total decoupling of Community aid, which has been supplemented by a system of specific support for producers who are betting on the future with their permanence. This adaptation must, however, ensure that the groups which have benefited from grants in previous years, pursuant to Royal Decree 104/2008, may continue to benefit from the previous scheme, if they have been beneficiaries of the aid lines set out in Royal Decree 104/2008 of 1 February 2008, so as to maintain the pre-existing framework of obligations and commitments linked to each of the subsidy lines, without compromising their rights acquired.

On the other hand, the presentation in June 2010 of the Plan of Action of the Milk of Cabra, in which several measures were included to respond to the economic and structural difficulties faced by the goat sector milk, has shown the need to modify the current regulatory framework, with the aim of including specific actions for milk goat groups, favouring the granting of aid to those who develop and market in milk common milk and milk products.

The optional third-party certification labelling schemes, which have been shown as an alternative to existing quality schemes at Community level, should also be strengthened and should not be restricted to production of meat, also providing for specific systems for milk and milk products, as well as for other productions such as national production wool.

Therefore, it is necessary to supplement the measures included in the old Royal Decree 104/2008 of 1 February 2008, with a State aid scheme adapted to the new market circumstances, simplifying and clarifying certain requirements and criteria for granting and managing aid and eliminating others in order to improve their application, by strengthening the marketing in common through the promotion of the exploitation of sheep and goats. In order to ensure efficiency in business management as a factor for the economic development of the sheep-goat sector and to ensure the economic viability of its initiatives, the groupings should be set up as associative figures with encouragement. for profit.

The set of measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the provisions of Commission Regulation (EC) No 800/2008 of 6 August 2008 declaring certain categories of aid compatible with the common market in the field of application of Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty ( Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union) and in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006 of 15 December 2006 on the application of the Articles 87 and 88 of the Treaty on State aid for small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in the production of agricultural products and amending Regulation (EC) No 70/2001, subject to the criteria for the compatibility of the Community guidelines on State aid to the agricultural and forestry sector 2007-2013 (2006/C 319/01).

The simplified notification of this royal decree has been made to the European Commission in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 of 21 April 2004 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999 laying down detailed rules for the application of Article 93 of the EC Treaty.

The present regulatory bases will be in effect exclusively for the financial year 2012.

Real Decreto 104/2008 is repealed, of February 1, however, it maintains its validity exclusively for those groups to benefit in previous years, which may continue to be received in the financial year 2012 the aid lines from which they would have already been awarded, as previously stated.

In the elaboration of this royal decree, the autonomous communities and representative entities of the sectors affected have been consulted.
