June 28, 2016
The EU commission has started an investigation in order to assess if public funds for 44 million euros granted to the Harbour Authority of Naples for the restructure of the dry docks in concession to the Yards of Mediterranean (CAMED) is consistent to the European norms on the aids of State.
According to Brussels, besides the harbour agency the society of naval repairs CAMED lives could also have benefitted of these deep ones through contracted own of concession that has a duration 30-year-old. The EU commission has explained that, not being carried out a contest for the allocation of the management of the dry docks, CAMED could have used own structures in order to supply services of naval repair to inferior costs to those of market.
The Commission has remembered that aids of this type can be considered compatible with the norms of the European Union on the aids of State if they favor objectives of common interest, as for example the supply of services publics of quality to accessible prices and without to forge the competition in the only market. The Commission however has evidenced that it doubts that a service as that of the naval repairs can be characterized as services of general economic interest (SIEG).
