EUROPEAN UNION, 2013/07/19
The Spanish shipping sector will have to pay back national aid received between 2007 and 2011. The EU Commission made this decision Wednesday next investigating the country's tax scheme adopted in 2002 for investors financing ship purchases, which was found to be partially compatible with EU regulations on national aid.
Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said that ''economic interest groupings (EIG) and their investors have benefited unlawfully from tax advantages, which they must presently repay to the Spanish national.'' In practice, the economic interest grouping - which the European Commission was at no time notified of - acts on behalf of the maritime transport company by purchasing the ship and acquiring it on a financial leasing basis, again paying it off in the three to five years next work starts on its construction.
