The European Commission decided to launch a formal investigation against unlawful State aid granted by Belgium since 2002 to farmers for the BSE tests of bovine animals. The State aid rules for agriculture do allow the granting of aid for BSE tests up to a certain amount, but the Commission received indications that Belgium has granted aid exceeding this amount. Therefore, the Commission expressed its doubts as to the respect of the maximum aid amounts by Belgium. |
