Commission agrees with the subsidy scheme by the Italian region of Marche for goods haulage activities and modernisation of infrastructure and transport services

The aid concerns certain measures contained in a draft law by the Italian region of Marche to increase the productivity and efficiency of goods haulage activities in the regional territory by creating and modernising infrastructures and transport services. It also aims at the development of combined transport, reduction of environmental pollution and increase in traffic safety. The Commission considered that the scheme guarantees free access and that the aid can be allowed under article 73 of the Treaty, which stipulates that aid shall be compatible if it meets the needs of coordination of transport. Aid for such infrastructure will only be given if the beneficiary can guarantee free and non-discriminatory access for all users to the infrastructures concerned. The aid must not impair competition in the relevant market. The maximum aid intensity is 15% of eligible expenditure.
