97/106/EC: Commission Decision of 17 July 1996 on aid… Article 1

Article 1

1. The aid measures provided for in Articles 44, 85, 86, 90, 103 and 105 of Law No 25/93 are illegal since those provisions came into force before the Commission could state a position with regard to their compatibility with the common market. They are also incompatible with the common market having regard to Article 92 (1) of the Treaty and they do not qualify under any of the exceptions provided for in paragraphs 2 and 3 of that Article. 2. The aid provided for in Article 96 of Law No 25/93 may qualify under the exception provided for in Article 92 (2) (b) of the Treaty. 3. Italy shall repeal the aid measures referred to in paragraph 1 within two months of notification of this Decision. 4. Within six months of notification of this Decision, Italy shall take the measures necessary to recover the aid paid pursuant to the regional provisions referred to in paragraph 1. The obligation regarding recovery shall not apply to aid as provided for in Article 103 of Law No 25/93. 5. Recovery shall be undertaken in accordance with the procedures laid down by Italian law, interest being payable from the date on which the illegal aid was paid. The interest shall be calculated on the basis of the commercial rate, by reference to the rate used to calculate the subsidy equivalent for the purposes of regional aid.
