Ủy ban phê duyệt kế hoạch 'ô dù' trị giá 9 tỷ euro của Ý để hỗ trợ nền kinh tế trong đợt bùng phát #Coronavirus

The European Commission has approved a €9 billion Italian “umbrella” scheme to support the Italian economy in the context of the coronavirus outbreak. The scheme was approved under the State aid Khung tạm thời được Ủy ban thông qua vào ngày 19 tháng 2020 năm XNUMX, được sửa đổi vào ngày Tháng Tư 3  và 8 Tháng năm, 2020.

Under the scheme, the Italian Regions and Autonomous Provinces, other territorial bodies as well as Chambers of commerce, will be able to provide support to companies of all sizes, including self-employed, SMEs and large companies. This scheme aims at supporting companies that face difficulties due to loss of income and liquidity shortages resulting from the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

In particular, it will help businesses cover immediate working capital or investment needs. This scheme will also support and promote research and production of coronavirus-related products and will help employees to avoid lay-offs in these difficult times. Under the scheme, public support can be granted through: direct grants, guarantees on loans and subsidized interest rates for loans; aid for coronavirus-related R&D, for the construction and upscaling of facilities to develop and test coronavirus-relevant products, and for the production of coronavirus-related products; wage subsidies for employees to avoid lay-offs during the coronavirus outbreak.

The Commission found that the Italian scheme is in line with the conditions set out in the Temporary Framework. The Commission concluded that the measure is necessary, appropriate and proportionate to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of a Member State, in line with Article 107(3)(b) TFEU and the conditions set out in the Temporary Framework. The measure is also necessary, appropriate and proportionate to fight the health crisis and contribute to address the common European production needs in the current crisis, in line with Article 107(3)(c) TFEU and the conditions set out in the Temporary Framework. On this basis, the Commission approved the measure under EU state aid rules.

Executive Vice President Margrethe Vestager, in charge of competition policy, said: “The €9 billion Italian “umbrella” scheme will enable support to companies of all sizes by Italy's regions, the autonomous provinces, other territorial bodies and Chambers of commerce. Complementing several already approved national measures, this scheme will support Italian businesses in continuing their operations in these difficult times and help preserve jobs. We continue working closely with Member States to ensure that national support measures can be put in place in a timely, coordinated and effective way, in line with EU rules.”
