Article 5
1. A request for authorization to grant aid must be made by a Member State to the Commission by 30 June 1996. That request shall include information sufficient to enable the Commission to verify the compatibility as required by paragraph 3. 2. A Member State intending to grant aid must adopt the national implementing measures within one year from the date of the Commission decision, or of prior notice of the Member State, provided for in paragraph 4. 3. The Commission, in conformity with the procedure laid down in Article 93 (3) of the Treaty and in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation, shall verify the compatibility of aid requests with this Regulation and with Regulation (EC) No 1527/95. 4. The Commission shall decide whether to approve an aid within two months of receipt of the request referred to in paragraph 1. If the Commission does not take a decision within that period, the measures envisaged may be implemented provided the Member State has given prior notice to the Commission of its intention so to act.
