The mid-size state
aid scheme was recently amended by including state aid funds for taking
over companies in difficulties (e.g. insolvency and liquidation cases) and
by emphasising the importance of some specific criteria in order to
maximize the state aid up to 40% for Bucharest/Ilfov region and to 50% for the
other regions.
These criteria are the following:
-
investment characteristics
-
degree of complying with the financial indicators
-
location of the investment
-
contribution of the entity to the economic and regional
development resulting from the payment of contributions and taxes to the
state budget
-
financial ratios specific for the area in which the
investment will be realised (Gross Domestic Product/habitant and
unemployment rate)
-
threshold for the current
period for the state aid scheme
