July 18, 2011
The National Association Private Ship yards (A.N.CA.NA. P.) has emphasized as the procedure of under way investigation in recent days from the EU commission on the fiscal facilitations
applied from Spain for the purchase of ships inside constitutes a positive sign against the treacherous competition of the Community that - it has observed the Italian association - has strongly damaged in recent years and also currently the Italian yards.
Ancanap has remembered that the system of Tax Lease Spanish Scheme would afford to the shipowners to acquire from the ship yards the ships to inferior prices of the 20-30% regarding those of market.
Communicating the start of the investigation the vice president of the EU commission, Joaquín Almunia, in charge of the competition, had specified that with the opening of the investigation the principle of the system applied from Spain is not questioned and that instead agrees to ascertain that this Spanish fiscal system does not exceed the limits allowed from the communitarian norm and does not create distortions of the competition in the communitarian market.
