Státchabhair: Formheasann an Coimisiún leasú ar scéim na hIodáile chun tacú le cuideachtaí i Friuli Venezia Giulia i gcomhthéacs chogadh na Rúise in aghaidh na hÚcráine

The European Commission has approved an amendment to an existing Italian scheme to support companies active in the Region of Friuli Venezia Giulia in the context of Russia's war against Ukraine. The amendment was approved under the State aid Creat Géarchéime Sealadach, arna ghlacadh ag an gCoimisiún ar 23 2022 March agus leasaithe ar 20 2022 Iúil agus ar 28 2022 Deireadh Fómhair, bunaithe ar Airteagal 107(3)(b) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh (CFAE), ag aithint go bhfuil suaitheadh ​​tromchúiseach ar gheilleagar an AE.

The Commission approved the original scheme in lúnasa 2022 (SA.102721). Under the scheme, the aid takes the form of (i) limited amounts of aid; (ii) liquidity support in the form of guarantees; (iii) liquidity support in the form of subsidised loans; and (iv) aid for additional costs due to exceptionally severe increases in natural gas and electricity prices. Italy notified the following modifications to the existing scheme: (i) a budget increase by €240 million; (ii) an extension of the scheme until 31 December 2023; and (iii) an increase of the maximum aid ceilings, in line with the Temporary Crisis Framework as amended on 28 2022 Deireadh Fómhair.

The Commission found that the Italian scheme, as amended, remains necessary, appropriate and proportionate to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of a Member State, in line with Airteagal 107(3)(b) CFAE agus na coinníollacha atá leagtha amach sa Creat Géarchéime Sealadach. On this basis, the Commission approved the amendment under EU State aid rules.
