In the second half of 2014 the Commission developed a second wave of State aid proceedings pursuant to Article 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) with respect to measures affecting the relocation of taxable bases of MNEs within their EU operations.
The European Commission has opened a formal investigation under EU State aid rules into Polish plans to grant aid towards a project by the Fiat group to produce a new generation of petrol engines in the Silesia region. At this stage, the Commission has doubts the aid meets the EU guidelines on aid to large investment projects in relation to the market shares and production capacities of the Fiat Group. The opening of a formal investigation gives interested third parties the possibility to comment on the proposed measure. It does not prejudge the outcome of the procedure.
The European Commission has authorised, under EC Treaty state aid rules, the creation of urban tax-free zones in certain parts of Italy. The aim of the measure is to encourage the regeneration of particularly deprived areas.
The European Commission has authorised under EC Treaty state aid rules an Italian scheme offering interest rate subsidies for the production of environmentally friendly (green) products in the car parts sector. The Commission concluded that the scheme will facilitate investments in products featuring an early adaptation to EU standards for the improvement of environmental protection.
he European Commission has approved, under EC Treaty state aid rules, an Italian framework temporarily adapting certain existing risk-capital schemes to increase companies' financing possibilities during the current economic crisis. The measure will allow for more flexible risk-capital investments until 2010.
The European Commission has found compatible with Article 87.3.b of the EC Treaty the amendments to the Italian recapitalisation scheme (already approved on 23 December 2008) which provide for an adequate remuneration of the state intervention and appropriate incentives for an early exit of the aid scheme.
The European Commission, with a Decision of September 6, 2005 declares that Italian Tax incentives to UCITS specialised in shares of small and medium capitalisation companies listed on regulated markets are incompatible State Aid.
