Communication from the Commission amending the Communication of the Commission to the Member States pursuant to Article 93(1) of the EC Treaty applying Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty to short-term export-credit insurance

(Text with EEA relevance)

2012/C 117/01

I.   Introduction

The Communication of the Commission to the Member States pursuant to Article 93(1) of the EC Treaty applying Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty to short-term export-credit insurance( 1 ) (the ‘Communication’) stipulates that marketable risks cannot be covered by export-credit insurance with the support of Member States. Marketable risks are commercial and political risks on public and non-public debtors established in countries listed in the Annex to that Communication, with a maximum risk period of less than two years.

Having regard to the exceptional economic disturbance to the Greek economy and the scarcity of private insurance cover for exports to Greece, the Commission has decided to exclude Greece from the list of marketable risks countries.
