Authorisation for State aid pursuant to Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty

Cases where the Commission raises no objections

(2004/C 37/07)

(Text with EEA relevance)

Date of adoption of the decision: 3.7.2001

Member State: The Netherlands

Aid No: E 45/2000

Title: Fiscal exemption in favour of Schiphol Group (Amsterdam airport)

Legal basis: Wet op de vennootschapsbelasting 1969

Aid intensity or amount: Measure constituting existing aid

Other information: Proposal of appropriate measures.

The Commission deems that the Dutch government's practice of exempting Schiphol Group from the corporation tax constitutes existing aid. As a consequence the Commission has decided to propose to the Dutch government that it discontinue the practice of exempting Schiphol Group from the corporation tax. The practice must be abolished by 1 January 2002. Should the Dutch government decline to follow the Commission's proposal or fail to supply information showing that this aid is compatible with the common market, the Commission reserves the right to initiate the procedure
