DECISION. (75) In the light of the foregoing considerations the Commis- sion requests the UK authorities to provide all necessary information to demonstrate (on the basis of the appro- priate financial data) that the aid they intend to grant to C4 is necessary in order to enable C4 to deliver its public service remit, and is not going to result in overcompensa- tion, taking into account also the revenues of C4C from its commercial activities.
(76) The Commission request your authorities to forward a copy of this letter to the recipient of this aid immediately.
(77) The Commission wishes to remind the United Kingdom that Article 88(3) of the EC Treaty has suspensory effect, and would draw your attention to Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, which provides that all unlawful aid may be recovered from the recipient.“
DECISION. In line with the foregoing considerations, the Commission has decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 108(2) TFEU with regard to the restructuring plan submitted by the Irish authorities on 31 May 2010 and the associated aid measures, to verify whether the conditions of the Restructuring Communication regarding viability, burden- sharing and measures limiting the distortion of competition are met. — The Commission requires the Irish authorities to provide, in addition to all documents already received, information and data needed for the assessment of the compatibility of the aid. — In particular, the Commission would wish to receive comments on the points on which it raised doubts from the Irish authorities and third parties. The Irish authorities are requested to forward a copy of this letter to the potential recipient of the aid immediately. — The Commission informs the Irish authorities that it will inform interested parties by publishing this letter and a meaningful summary of it in the Officiat Journat of the European Union. It will also inform interested parties in the EFTA countries which are signatories to the EEA Agreement, by publishing a notice in the EEA Supplement to the Officiat Journat of the European Union, and will inform the EFTA Surveillance Authority by sending a copy of this letter. All such interested parties will be invited to submit their comments within one month of the date of such publi cation.“
DECISION. In the light of the foregoing considerations, the Commission, acting under the procedure laid down in Article 108(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, requests that the United Kingdom submit its comments and provide all such information as may help to assess the Measures 2–5, within one month of the date of receipt of this letter. It requests that your authorities forward a copy of this letter to the potential recipient of the aid immediately. Further, with respect to Measure 1 (Acquisition of MMD by PCC in 2008) the Commission concludes that it does not constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) of the Treaty.
DECISION. In view of the above, the Commission has decided: — to further extend the procedure as laid down in Article 108(2) TFEU initiated with its decision C(2009) 3811 final of 12 May 2009 and extended with its decision C(2009) 10672 final of 23 December 2009, and — to prolong the authorisation of the aid it has tempo rarily found compatible with the internal market by Decision C(2009) 10672 final until it has concluded the examination of the restructuring plan for Hypo Group Alpe Adria. The Commission requests Austria to provide all informa tion necessary for the Commission to assess the compati bility of the aid measures. Austria is requested to forward a copy of this letter to HGAA immediately. The Commission warns Austria that it will inform inte rested parties by publishing this letter and a meaningful summary of it in the Official Journal of the European Union. It will also inform interested parties in the EFTA countries which are signatories to the EEA Agreement, by publishing a notice in the EEA Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union, and will inform the EFTA Surveillance Authority by sending a copy of this letter. All such inte rested parties will be invited to submit their comments within one month of the date of such publication.“
(1) Commission Decision of 13 November in case C 15/08, Hypo RealEstate, not yet published, and Commission Decision of 31 March 2009 in case C 10/09 ING (OJ C 158, 11.7.2009, p. 13).
DECISION. The Commission concludes that the measures in favour of MLB, consisting of a recapitalisation of LVL 70,2 million granted on 23 March 2010, a recapitalisation measure of LVL [30-75] million granted at the end of 2011 (granted as liquidity measure to be converted into capital), a standby liquidity facility of up to LVL 250 million, guarantees […] of the commercial segment of MLB up to LVL 32 million and liquidity support of up to LVL 60 million for the solvent liqui dation of the bad assets within HipoNIA, constitute State aid pursuant to Article 107(1) TFEU. The Commission observes that the recapitalisation measures of LVL 70,2 million and of LVL [30-75] million (the latter granted as liquidity measure yet to be converted into capital) have been put into effect in breach of Article 108(3) TFEU. In the light of the foregoing considerations, the Commission finds that the above-mentioned measures fulfil the requirements of Article 107(3)(b) TFEU and are temporarily compatible with the internal market as rescue aid for reasons of financial stability, until the Commission has adopted a final decision on the measures as restructuring aid to MLB in the light of the transformation plan. It has also decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 108(2) TFEU with regard to the measures identified as restruc turing aid in favour of MLB and to its transformation plan to verify whether the conditions of the Restructuring Communi cation regarding viability, solvent liquidation, burden-sharing and measures limiting the distortion of competition are met. Xxxxxx accepts exceptionally that the adoption of the decision will be in the English language. The Commission requires Latvia to provide, in addition to all documents already received, information and data needed for the assessment of the compatibility of the aid within one month of the date of receipt of this letter. The Latvian authorities are requested to forward a copy of this letter to the recipient of the aid immediately.
DECISION. The Commission has decided to temporarily find compatible with the Common Market the capital injection amounting to EUR 60 million carried out in March 2009, the capital injection amounting to EUR 2 959 632 240 carried out in June 2009, and the capital injection amounting to EUR 3,0 billion to be carried out in November 2009 in favour of HRE until the Commission has taken a final decision on the restructuring plan. In the light of the foregoing considerations, the Commission has decided to extend the proceedings laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty with respect to the following State aid measures in favour of HRE: The capital injection amounting to EUR 2 959 632 240 carried out in June 2009, the capital injection amounting to EUR 3,0 billion to be carried out in November 2009, guarantees of EUR 10 billion as liquidity buffer, EUR 8 billion for the rescheduling of the secured notes and EUR 2 billion for refinancing a possible winding down solution and capital injections amounting to a maximum of EUR 4 billion. Germany is requested to forward a copy of this letter to the potential recipient of the aid immediately.
DECISION. (59) The Commission takes the preliminary view that the non-application of the ATT on transport of transfer and transit passengers may constitute State aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU.
(60) In the light of the foregoing considerations, the Commission, acting under the procedure laid down in Article 108(2) TFEU, requests Ireland to submit its comments and to provide all such information as may help to assess the measure, within one month of the date of receipt of this letter. It requests your authorities to forward a copy of this letter to the potential recipient of the aid immediately.
(61) The Commission wishes to remind Ireland that Article 108(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union has suspensory effect, and would draw your attention to Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, which provides that all unlawful aid may be recovered from the recipient.
(62) The Commission warns Ireland that it will inform interested parties by publishing this letter and a meaningful summary of it in the Official Journal of the European Union. It will also inform interested parties in the EFTA countries which are signatories to the EEA Agreement, by publication of a notice in the EEA Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union and will inform the EFTA Surveillance Authority by sending a copy of this letter. All such interested parties will be invited to submit their comments within one month of the date of such publication.’
