The aid of Lit 1,796 billion (approximately ECU 1,17 million) granted in 1987 by the Autonomous Region of Sardinia to Ferriere Acciaierie Sarde pursuant to Regional Law N° 41 of 14 September 1987 is illegal State aid as it was granted without prior authorization from the Commission and is also incompatible with the common market.
The aid in question shall be withdrawn through recovery.
