The help that the French State granted to fruit and vegetable producers between 1992 and 2002, was illegal. This is what European Court decided. In total during this period more than 330 million was paid to French fruit and vegetable producers to soften the economic consequences of a temporary surplus production and to regularize the market.
The aid, under the name "plans de campagne", was paid from a fund which was managed by several committees which bring together agricultural organizations. This cash consisted of 30-50% of voluntary contributions from producers. According to the court however, it was Oniflhor a government institution, which unilaterally made decisions on the financial measures for the "plans the campaign" and the committees had no input into the implementation.
