Skond l-użu tar-rata ta' referenza, il-marġini xierqa għad għandhom ikunu ddefiniti f'din il-komunikazzjoni. Għar-rata ta' tnaqqis, dan ifisser li għandu jiżdied marġini ta' 100 punti bażi. Ir-Regolament tal-Kummissjoni (KE) Nru 271/2008 tat-30 ta' Jannar 2008 li jemenda r-regolament ta' implimentazzjoni (KE) Nru 764/2004 jipprevedi li, jekk mhux speċifikat diversament f'deċiżjoni speċifika, ir-rata ta' rkupru għandha tkun ikkalulata wkoll billi jkunu miżjuda 100 punti bażi fuq ir-rata bażi.

Ir-rati modifikati huma indikati b’tipa grassa.

Abbozz tat-test ippubblikat fil-ĠU C 55, 5.3.2010, p. 7.

SEJĦA GĦAL PROPOSTI – EACEA/08/10

Bħala Parti Mill-Programm għall-Edukazzjoni u T-Taħriġ Tul Il-Ħajja (Llp) – Programm Leonardo da Vinci

Għotjiet għall-appoġġ ta’ proġetti ta’ inizjattiva nazzjonali għall-ittestjar u l-iżvilupp tas-sistema ta’ kredits ta’ tagħlim għall-edukazzjoni u t-taħriġ vokazzjonali (SEKETV)

2010/C 85/08

1.   Għanijiet u deskrizzjoni

Din is-sejħa għal proposti għandha l-għan li tipprovdi għotjiet għal proposti li jirrigwardaw l-organizzazzjoni ta’ żewġ tipi ta’ azzjoni, li għandhom ikunu magħquda fi proġett wieħed, jiġifieri:

| — | azzjonijiet ta’ ħolqien jew ta’ tisħiħ ta’ sħubijiet bejn l-istituzzjonijiet kompetenti, bil-ħsieb li jinħoloq qafas operattiv, għall-iżvilupp ta’ testijiet, tas-sistema Ewropea ta’ kredits għall-edukazzjoni u t-taħriġ vokazzjonali (SEKETV); |
| --- | --- |

—

azzjonijiet ta’ ħolqien jew ta’ tisħiħ ta’ sħubijiet bejn l-istituzzjonijiet kompetenti, bil-ħsieb li jinħoloq qafas operattiv, għall-iżvilupp ta’ testijiet, tas-sistema Ewropea ta’ kredits għall-edukazzjoni u t-taħriġ vokazzjonali (SEKETV);

| — | azzjonijiet fil-qasam tas-sistema Ewropea ta’ kredits ta’ tagħlim għall-ETV (SEKETV), kif deskritt fl-ispeċifikazzjonijiet tekniċi li jinsabu annessi mar-Rakkomandazzjoni tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill, sabiex din tiġi applikata u implimentata fil-prattika. |
| --- | --- |

—

azzjonijiet fil-qasam tas-sistema Ewropea ta’ kredits ta’ tagħlim għall-ETV (SEKETV), kif deskritt fl-ispeċifikazzjonijiet tekniċi li jinsabu annessi mar-Rakkomandazzjoni tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill, sabiex din tiġi applikata u implimentata fil-prattika.

L-għanijiet ġenerali tas-sejħa huma orjentati b’mod deċiżiv u strett lejn l-implimentazzjoni prattika tas-SEKETV u t-tħejjija tal-miżuri meħtieġa għall-adozzjoni tagħha mill-Istati Membri.

2.   Applikanti eliġibbli

Din is-sejħa għal proposti hija miftuħa għall-korpi, l-istabbilimenti, l-istituzzjonijiet jew l-awtoritajiet kompetenti, responsabbli b’mod dirett, jew permezz ta’ delega minn awtorità superviżorja, għall-implimentazzjoni tar-Rakkomandazzjoni dwar l-istabbiliment tas-sistema Ewropea ta’ kredits ta’ tagħlim fl-ETV (2009/C 155/02) (1) fil-livell nazzjonali, reġjonali, lokali jew settorjali. Tirrigwarda, b’mod partikolari, l-istituzzjonijiet u l-awtoritajiet pubbliċi u privati responsabbli mid-disinn, l-amministrazzjoni u l-ħruġ ta’ kwalifiki professjonali.

Fi kwalunkwe każ, l-organizzazzjoni li tapplika u l-imsieħba tagħha għandhom juru li għandhom il-leġittimità istituzzjonali sabiex jimpenjaw irwieħhom u jintervjenu, fil-livell tekniku, politiku u operattiv, fl-oqsma tal-edukazzjoni u t-taħriġ vokazzjonali kif ukoll tal-kwalifiki u, b’mod speċifiku, tal-ittestjar u l-iżvilupp u tal-applikazzjoni tas-sistema SEKETV, b’referenza għar-Rakkomandazzjoni tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill.

L-applikanti għandhom ikunu entitajiet legali stabbiliti għal aktar minn tliet snin.

L-applikazzjonijiet għall-finanzjament jistgħu jsiru biss minn konsorzji magħmula minn minimu ta’ 4 korpi minn ta’ mill-inqas 4 pajjiżi eliġibbli differenti.

L-applikanti (inklużi l-organizzazzjonijiet imsieħba kollha) għandhom ikunu stabbiliti f’wieħed mill-pajjiżi li ġejjin:

| — | is-27 Stat Membru tal-Unjoni Ewropea, |
| --- | --- |

—

is-27 Stat Membru tal-Unjoni Ewropea,

| — | it-3 pajjiżi tal-EFTA/ŻEE (l-Iżlanda, il-Liechtenstein, in-Norveġja), |
| --- | --- |

—

it-3 pajjiżi tal-EFTA/ŻEE (l-Iżlanda, il-Liechtenstein, in-Norveġja),

| — | it-Turkija. |
| --- | --- |

—

it-Turkija.

Mill-inqas wieħed mill-pajjiżi msieħba għandu jkun Stat Membru tal-UE.

Fil-preżent għaddejjin negozjati mal-Kroazja, mal-eks Repubblika Jugożlava tal-Maċedonja u mal-Iżvizzera bl-għan li fil-futur jipparteċipaw fil-programm SEKETV, liema parteċipazzjoni hija soġġetta għall-eżitu ta’ dawn in-negozjati. Jekk jogħġbok ikkonsulta s-sit elettroniku tal-Aġenzija eżekuttiva għall-edukazzjoni, l-awdjoviżiv u l-kultura li għandha taġġorna l-lista tal-pajjiżi parteċipanti.

I.   PROĊEDURA

| (1) | Fit-12 ta' Mejju 2009 (każ C 16/09) il-Kummissjoni qajmet dubji dwar l-għajnuna għar-ristrutturazzjoni (injezzjoni kapitali ta' EUR 10 biljun u ċertu miżuri ta' salvataġġ tal-assi) lil BayernLB fir-rigward tal-kompatibbiltà tagħha mal-Artikolu 107(3)(b) tat-TFUE. Fuq l-istess prinċipju, il-Kummissjoni qajmet dubji jekk Hypo Group Alpe Adria (HGAA), sussidjarja ta' BayernLB, li wkoll kienet irċeviet għajnuna mill-Awstrija, hijiex fundamentalment b'saħħitha u jekk l-għajnuna għar-ristrutturar hiex kompatibbli mal-Artikolu 107(3)(b) tat-TFUE. |

II.   FATTI

| (3) | Fil-ħarifa 2009 valutazzjoni esperta stabbiliet li HGAA ser ikollha bżonn iktar telf imħassar li jnaqqas il-proporzjon tal-kapital tal-bank minn proporzjon tal-kapital Saff 1 għal inqas minn 4 %, li huwa inqas mill-minimu regolatorju rikjest, sa tmiem l-2009. Minkejja dan, is-sidien ma kinux lesti jinjettaw il-kapital neċessarju fil-bank. Għalhekk, l-awtorità superviżorja tas-swieq finanzjarji Awstrijaka ħarġet ultimatum lis-sidien biex jieħdu d-deċiżjonijiet neċessarji għal rikapitalizzazzjoni ta' HGAA sal-11 ta' Diċembru 2009; inkella l-bank jiffaċċja azzjoni superviżorja. |

The analysis covered a wide range of loans and assets (including 52 ownership participation stakes), but excluding other assets such as loans for employees. |

The Austrian financial market supervisory authority issued an ultimatum to the owners to take the necessary decisions for a recapitalisation of HGAA by 11 December 2009; otherwise the bank would face supervisory action.

2.3.   The additional measures

| (27) | After intense negotiations between the owners and Austria, the following was agreed upon in a term sheet dated 14 December 2009. Austria notified this measure on 18 December 2009. |

After intense negotiations between the owners and Austria, the following was agreed upon in a term sheet dated 14 December 2009. Austria notified this measure on 18 December 2009.

| (28) | The ownership of HGAA will change as Austria will acquire all shares by contract for the symbolic price of EUR 1 from each of the owners. This measure will be based on the Austrian law for remedying a serious disturbance in Austria's economy Finanzmarktstabilitätsgesetz (FinStaG) (9). As a result, the bank would be nationalised and 100 % owned by Austria. |

| (29) | By 31 December 2009, as a matter of immediate support to ensure that HGAA fulfils the minimum regulatory requirements, BayernLB will renounce on all its rights deriving from already existing EUR 300 million Ergänzungskapital (Tier 2). By the same date and for the same reasons, Austria will grant temporarily to HGAA asset guarantees of an amount of up to EUR 100 million on the conditions for distressed banks under the Austrian emergency bank support scheme. If more capital measures are needed to fulfil the regulatory minimum capital requirements any further capital injection will be split between BayernLB and Austria [...]. |

In total, the previous owners agreed to inject EUR 1 055 million.

| (32) | Of this, BayernLB will in addition to the already mentioned EUR 300 million existing Ergänzungskapital (Tier 2) (see recital (29), also renounce all its rights deriving from funding provided to HGAA amounting to EUR 525 million. This will have a total positive impact on the bank's capital of EUR 825 million. The amount of EUR 525 million could be lower if BayernLB provided more capital as a matter of urgency (see recital (29). |

| (40) | As regards the implications of these additional measures for BayernLB, the rescue of HGAA by Austria under the above conditions implies that BayernLB will have to write down the full book value of HGAA, which amounts to EUR 2,3 billion. It has furthermore to renounce receivables from HGAA for already provided funding amounting to EUR 825 million and will have to sell its existing shares in HGAA to Austria. |

2.4.   The plan provided for Bayern LB and HGAA

| (41) | BayernLB has drawn up a restructuring plan to return to viability by 2013 (10). The restructuring plan included a significant reduction of the activities of BayernLB and a concentration on core activities and core regions. Furthermore, BayernLB planned sales of subsidiaries, including the sale of HGAA after having restored viability, so as to make them attractive for the capital markets. The target date for the sale of HGAA was [...]. No update of the plan has been provided to the Commission yet. |

| (42) | For HGAA so far only a viability plan has been provided to the Commission because Austria considered HGAA fundamentally sound. The Commission had questioned in its Decision C(2009) 3811 final adopted on 12 May 2009 whether HGAA was indeed fundamentally sound and articulated doubts on the compatibility with Article 107(3)(b) TFEU of the aid given to HGAA by Austria. |

3.   THE POSITION OF GERMANY AND AUSTRIA

| (43) | Germany takes the position that the measures undertaken by the Republic of Austria do not constitute State aid in favour of BayernLB. However, should the Commission find otherwise, Germany submits that this additional aid is compatible with Article 107(3)(b) TFEU and that no additional restructuring measures are required beyond those foreseen in the restructuring plan for BayernLB, [...]. |

| (44) | Austria now agrees that HGAA is distressed and commits to submit a restructuring plan for HGAA by 31 March 2010, aiming at in-depth restructuring. The plan will take into account all current and previous aid granted by Austria and will take into account the considerations put forward by the Commission in its decision of 12 May 2009. |

| (45) | Austria states that the measures provided to HGAA constitute State aid but argues that the measures are compatible with the internal market based on Article 107(3)(b) TFEU. In the meantime Austria requests a temporary authorisation for six months for reasons of financial stability. The Austrian Central Bank (Österreichische Nationalbank, OeNB) has confirmed in a letter of 7 December 2009 that HGAA is a bank with systemic importance for the financial market in Austria and that without the support measures the bank would face supervisory action. |

4.   ASSESSMENT

4.1.   Existence of aid

| (46) | According to Article 107(1) TFEU, any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods shall, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, be incompatible with the internal market. |

According to Article 107(1) TFEU, any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods shall, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, be incompatible with the internal market.

| (47) | As regards the acquisition of shares by Austria, the Commission notes that such an acquisition is in principle allowed under the Finanzmarktstabilitätsgesetz (Financial Market Stability Law, FinStaG) which provides for the purchase of existing shares. Austria gave a commitment for the approval of the emergency bank support scheme that the purchase of existing shares would be considered only where other individual measures under the FinStaG proved to be inadequate. In the present case, the owners have in fact been unable to find a solution and therefore this condition is also met. Such an acquisition is also addressed in point 37 of the Commission decision on the Austrian emergency bank support scheme. There it is explained that such an acquisition itself does not imply aid to the previous owners if the existing shareholders receive a price for their shares which is not higher than the value without State intervention (or any speculation in this regard). That condition is met as the shareholders in fact receive no consideration for their shares. The Commission therefore concludes that the purchase of shares in itself does not constitute aid to the owners or to HGAA or BayernLB (the latter is also an owner). |

| (48) | The additional measures implemented by Austria and the Land Carinthia can be attributed to the State, constitute a selective advantage to HGAA and potentially BayernLB and because HGAA and BayernLB operate in a sector characterised by intense international competition, have the potential to affect trade within the European Union and to distort competition. |

| (49) | In particular, the capital increase permits HGAA to receive sufficient equity capital, which, in the light of the bank’s difficult position and the current constraints upon financial markets, it would not have been able to receive to such an extent and under such terms. This capital allows HGAA to avoid regulatory action and to stay active on the market. |

| (50) | The aid to HGAA consists of a guarantee and a recapitalisation by Austria of EUR 450 million and EUR 200 million by Land Carinthia. In addition, HGAA received capital from BayernLB that BayernLB was only able to provide because it had been supported with State aid itself. |

| (51) | The Commission also considers that HGAA receives aid though the maintenance of liquidity by the Land Carinthia and the enterprises it controls. This is an advantage for HGAA because it imposes a contractual obligation on the Land Carinthia which a market economy investor would not normally accept without consideration. This is in particular the case regarding HGAA, which is a distressed bank and where its owners are well aware of the risks of providing it liquidity. |

This is in particular the case regarding HGAA, which is a distressed bank and where its owners are well aware of the risks of providing it liquidity.

| (52) | The aid for HGAA seems also to benefit BayernLB. Without the aid, HGAA would have become insolvent and BayernLB would have lost not only its capital in that bank but also (part or all of) liquidity provided to HGAA totalling EUR [3-5 billion]. In addition, the rescue of HGAA might prevent a possible negative reputational effect for BayernLB which could follow if it has let its biggest subsidiary go bankrupt. Therefore, the Commission considers at this stage that BayernLB benefited from the aid granted to its subsidiary HGAA. |

4.2.   Compatibility of the aid

4.2.1.   Application of Article 107(3)(b) TFEU

| (54) | Article 107(3)(b) TFEU enables the Commission to declare aid compatible with the internal market if it is granted “to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of a Member State”. The Commission recalls that the Court of First Instance has stressed that Article 107(3)(b) TFEU needs to be applied restrictively and must relate to a disturbance in the entire economy of a Member State (11). In light of the on-going fragile situation on the financial market the Commission currently bases its assessment of State aid measures in the banking sector on this provision as the breakdown of a systematically relevant bank can directly affect the financial markets and indirectly the entire economy of a Member State. |

| (55) | The Austrian Central Bank has confirmed that HGAA is a bank with systemic importance for the financial market in Austria but also in certain countries in South Eastern Europe. Without the measures, HGAA risks closure by the supervisory authorities. The Commission will therefore assess the State aid measures for HGAA under Article 107(3)(b) TFEU. Any possible aid to BayernLB will be examined in the context of the ongoing formal investigation procedure. |

4.2.2.   Compatibility of the measures

| (56) | In order to apply Article 107(3)(b) TFEU the Commission has issued guidance in the Banking Communication (12) on support measures in the financial crisis, inter alia for guarantees and recapitalisations. The conditions have been complemented and clarified regarding recapitalisations in the Recapitalisation Communication (13). |

The conditions have been complemented and clarified regarding recapitalisations in the Recapitalisation Communication (13).

| (57) | Capital increases and measures with a similar effect in favour of banks are, in principle, a suitable means of enabling them to withstand the effects of the financial crisis and to continue their ongoing role as providers of credit. However, the Commission has to assess if the additional emergency measures are remunerated in line with the Recapitalisation Communication. |

However, the Commission has to assess if the additional emergency measures are remunerated in line with the Recapitalisation Communication.

| (58) | HGAA will receive temporary asset guarantees (EUR 100 million) and potentially further capital (at most EUR 350 million) which will be injected and remunerated in line with point 29 on emergency aid measures to distressed banks of the Austrian emergency bank support scheme (case N 557/08). The remuneration of these measures is thus in line with an approved scheme which is itself in accordance with the Recapitalisation Communication. |

The remuneration of these measures is thus in line with an approved scheme which is itself in accordance with the Recapitalisation Communication.

| (59) | HGAA will also receive capital from the Land Carinthia. This is however not remunerated in line with the Austrian emergency bank support scheme because HGAA will only pay a dividend of 6 % starting from 2013. The Commission acknowledges that this might be motivated by the aim of rescuing the bank and thereby avoiding that the liabilities guarantees will be called in the context of an insolvency of HGAA. Notwithstanding this, the Commission has at this stage doubts about the level of remuneration because 6 % is far below the standards of the Austrian emergency bank support scheme and the Recapitalisation Communication which stipulate a remųneration of at least 10 % for a bank in distress. The Commission will need to further investigate the issue. The Commission can accept such remuneration temporarily because the bank is anyhow loss-making at the moment and it would not be in a position to pay any remuneration. However, the remuneration must subsequently be reassessed, possibly requiring a higher overall remuneration or additional in-depth restructuring. |

| (60) | In addition, the existing business relationship — and the resulting liquidity — will remain between the bank and the Land of Carinthia and businesses controlled by it. As noted in point 52, this amounts to an additional liquidity aid for HGAA because this liquidity might potentially be withdrawn by Land and those respective companies, if acting under normal market considerations. This support requires an appropriate remuneration or additional in-depth restructuring. In keeping with the Banking Communication, appropriate remuneration would be in line with that required for loans to distressed banks under point 36 of the Austrian emergency bank support scheme or for liquidity guarantees under point 25 of the Austrian emergency bank support scheme. The remuneration must therefore be reassessed, possibly requiring a higher overall remuneration or additional in-depth restructuring. |

| (61) | Austria had previously granted aid to HGAA under the Austrian emergency bank support scheme and has submitted a viability plan. Austria now agrees that HGAA is in distress. The present measures are a second recapitalisation for a distressed bank, for which an individual notification is required according to point 5 of the decision in case N 352/09 on the prolongation of the Austrian emergency bank support scheme. Moreover, the same requirement flows from point 16 of the Restructuring Communication, which states that all aid granted during the restructuring/viability assessment period must be notified individually. This applies to recapitalisations but also to guarantees. |

| (62) | The purpose of the requirement to provide a new notification for banks seeking additional recapitalisation or guarantees is to assess such measures on the basis of a restructuring plan and not grant them under a scheme. This allows the Commission to ensure that the aid is limited to the minimum necessary, and that the aid measures are integral part of a coherent restructuring including adequate measures to limit distortions of competition. However, the Commission has established that it will authorise urgent measures temporarily in exceptional circumstances if such measures need to be granted quickly for reasons of financial stability (14). |

| (63) | Austria has provided a commitment to supply a restructuring plan. Moreover, in the report of 13 November 2009 the need for additional capital has already been established. The supervisory authorities have confirmed that the aid is necessary in order to prevent insolvency of a systemically relevant bank. The same applies to the guarantees which are also needed to ensure the continuation of the bank business. |

| (64) | The survival of HGAA requires that those measures can be granted before a decision about the restructuring plan can be taken and Austria requests an urgent approval. On the basis of the above and in view of the request for an authorisation for six months the measures are limited in time and scope to the minimum necessary. Therefore, a temporary approval of the capital and liquidity measures is required and is compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 107(3)(b) TFEU. During that period HGAA and BayernLB will have sufficient time to update their plans and to seek final approval. |

The newly granted measures constitute restructuring aid because they are needed to restore the viability of HGAA. The compatibility of the restructuring aid will be assessed on the basis of the restructuring plan or liquidation plan to be submitted in the light of the Restructuring Communication (15).

| (66) | The Commission has at this stage doubts that the newly introduced restructuring measures as well as the previous measures are apt to restore the viability of HGAA. First, it needs to be emphasised that the additional aid which has become necessary is evidence that the submitted viability plan is not sufficient to restore the viability of HGAA. Furthermore, the Commission notes that the external report commissioned by HGAA and BayernLB has found serious problems in the credit monitoring procedures of HGAA as well as in its collateral valuation. As a result, the previously projected potential losses could well increase still further, in particular if the benign view concerning LGD ratios were not to materialise. Moreover, the Commission doubts that the scenarios applied by the external consultants (Scenario I and II) are sufficiently prudent in relation to “a protracted global recession” as specified in point 13 of the Restructuring Communication. Therefore, the Commission continues to have doubts in relation to the return to long-term viability of the rescued HGAA. |

| (67) | In relation to burden sharing the Commission doubts that the burden sharing of the owners has been appropriate. This applies in particular to BayernLB which has consolidated accounts with HGAA and which could have contributed more to the rescue action. In this regard, BayernLB has a guarantee from Austria to recover liquidity if HGAA is split or following a similar measure which would make HGAA no longer viable. Moreover, the burden sharing of the Land Carinthia and GRAWE needs to be further investigated. In particular, the Land Carinthia and GRAWE will receive a remuneration for their capital while the capital coming from BayernLB will not be remunerated. Also, the liquidity provided by GRAWE will be highly collateralised, in contrast to the liquidity provided by the other owners. |

The Commission considers at this stage that the newly granted aid measures constitute also additional aid for the benefit of BayernLB as without the rescue measure it would otherwise have lost part of the liquidity it had provided to HGAA.

| (72) | At this stage, it also seems that the rescue process for HGAA might pose a threat to the viability of BayernLB because it has to write down the book value of HGAA, to provide additional capital measures and to renounce its rights on additional capital already within HGAA. Due to these new write-downs and losses the Commission thus doubts the viability of BayernLB and deems it necessary to receive a revised restructuring plan in the light of the altered situation. |

| (74) | As regards measures for limiting market distortions, the Commission recalls that BayernLB agreed to sell HGAA over time as such a measure. However, the Commission considers at this stage that the sale of HGAA cannot be considered as a measure for addressing competition distortions as the measure seems necessary for the viability of BayernLB. The Commission doubts therefore that the overall level of measures proposed by BayernLB in its restructuring plan for limiting distortions of competition is sufficient. |

5.   DECISION

The Commission has decided to temporarily find compatible with the internal market on the basis of Article 107(3)(b) TFEU until the submission of a credible restructuring plan and its assessment by the Commission but at most for a period of six months the following measures in favour of HGAA:

| 1. | the temporary guarantee of EUR 100 million under the conditions for distressed banks under the Austrian emergency bank support scheme; |
| --- | --- |

the temporary guarantee of EUR 100 million under the conditions for distressed banks under the Austrian emergency bank support scheme;

| 2. | the recapitalisation of EUR 200 million by Land Carinthia; |
| --- | --- |

2.

the recapitalisation of EUR 200 million by Land Carinthia;

| 3. | a further recapitalisation under the conditions for distressed banks under the Austrian emergency bank support for a maximum amount of EUR 350 million; |
| --- | --- |

3.

a further recapitalisation under the conditions for distressed banks under the Austrian emergency bank support for a maximum amount of EUR 350 million;

| 4. | the liquidity provided by the Land of Carinthia. |
| --- | --- |

4.

the liquidity provided by the Land of Carinthia.

The acquisition by Austria of shares in HGAA does not in itself constitute aid.

In the light of the foregoing considerations, the Commission has further decided to extend the proceedings laid down in Article 108(2) TFEU with respect to the above aid measures in favour of HGAA both as regards HGAA and BayernLB. The Commission will in this context also reassess the necessity of the above measures. In particular, the Commission will reassess the remuneration for the measures provided to HGAA by the Land Carinthia.

The Commission has also decided to extend the proceedings pursuant to Article 108(2) TFEU with a view to assess potential restructuring aid received by BayernLB through the additional aid provided to the HGAA group and with the view of assessing the viability and the measures proposed for limiting market distortions of BayernLB in light of the new situation.

The Commission reminds Austria of its commitment to provide an in-depth restructuring plan for HGAA by 31 March 2010 as well as all reports establishing the current situation of HGAA. The Commission also reminds Germany to submit a revised restructuring plan for BayernLB as well as to indicate the amount of equity replacing capital of the liquidity held by BayernLB in HGAA. Austria and Germany are also requested to indicate existence of any guarantees or similar instruments which the owners might have with HGAA or any of its assets or liabilities.

Austria is requested to forward a copy of this letter to HGAA immediately. Germany is requested to forward this letter to BayernLB immediately.

The Commission wishes to remind Austria that Article 108(3) TFEU has suspensory effect, and would draw your attention to Article 14 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/1999, which provides that all unlawful aid may be recovered from the recipient.

The Commission warns Austria and Germany that it will inform interested parties by publishing this letter and a meaningful summary of it in the Official Journal of the European Union. It will also inform interested parties in the EFTA countries which are signatories to the EEA Agreement, by publishing a notice in the EEA Supplement to the Official Journal of the European Union, and will inform the EFTA Surveillance Authority by sending a copy of this letter. All such interested parties will be invited to submit their comments within one month of the date of such publication.”
