English term or phrase:criminally sanctioned provisions/criminal provisions
The Dutch authorities argue that the Commission wrongly assimilates the proposed measures to a tax exemption and thus a loss of tax income, which constitutes a State aid. The Commission thus neglects the prohibitive character of the levies. Minas does not aim to generate income for the State, but to regulate the use of fertilisers. It can thus be compared to fines imposed for violation of criminally sanctioned provisions. In view of the content and aims of the measure, it cannot be qualified as a tax measure, an exemption of which constitutes State aid in the sense of Article 87 of the Treaty.
The fact that this scheme is analogous in working to fines imposed for certain criminal provisions does not alter the fact that the Minas system is construed as a levy system.
