Article 4
The German Government is reminded that the application of this scheme is subject to the rules governing the combination of aid, whether such combination involves aid for different purposes (OJ No C 3, 5. 1. 1985) or aid for the same purpose under schemes adopted by the same entity or by different entities (central, regional and/or local). In the latter case, the maximum ceiling authorized for the scheme referred to in Article 1 must not be exceeded. Furthermore, the German Government is reminded that it must observe the Community rules and regulations applicable concerning certain sectors of industry, i.e. sectors covered by the ECSC Treaty, transport, fisheries and agriculture, including the processing and marketing of agricultural products (OJ No C 29, 2. 2. 1996, p. 4).
