The European Commission decided on 16 November 2004 that a German subsidy scheme for the producers of Kornbranntwein, a brandy made out of corn, is in breach of European Union State aid rules because it distorts competition with other brandy producers. However, the Commission agreed to give the German producers until 30 September 2006 to adapt to competition. |
