According to point 20 of the Guidelines on national Regional Aid for 2007-2013 (RAG) Statistical Effect Regions will benefit from a status as an assisted area pursuant to Article 107(3)(a) TFEU until the end of 2010. These regions will lose their status as an Article 107(3)(a) TFEU assisted area as from 1st January 2011, if an ex officio review to be carried out by the Commission in 2010 shows that their GDP/inhabitant over the most recent three years exceeds 75 % of the EU25 average. As already stipulated in the decisions on the regional State aid maps for 2007-2013, these regions changing status will benefit for the period 1.1.2011-31.12.2013 from eligibility to regional aid on the basis of Article 107(3)(c) TFEU.

List of credit institutions provided for in Article 14 of Directive 2006/48/EC

(2010/C 293/01)

Article 14 of Directive 2006/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2006 relating to the taking up and pursuit of the business of credit institutions (1) requires the Commission to draw up and publish a list of all credit institutions authorised to do business in Member States.

This is the twenty-third occasion on which the Commission has complied with the above requirement. The list published in the Annex to this communication is based on the latest information available (status as at 1 January 2010).

As a general rule, the list comprises all the credit institutions falling within the scope of Directive 2006/48/EC. It does not include institutions excluded from the scope of the Directive pursuant to Article 2 thereof, nor institutions which, although subject to the Directive, are exempt from some of its provisions pursuant to Article 3 thereof, which introduces special arrangements for institutions which belong to a network controlled by a central body to which the Directive applies in its entirety. It does not include credit institutions in the process of liquidation.

The present list was drawn up by the Commission on the basis of information supplied by the Member States. Unlike the registers of banks kept in some Member States, the list has no legal significance and confers no rights in law. If an unauthorised institution is inadvertently included in the list, its legal status is in no way altered; similarly, if an institution has inadvertently been omitted from the list, the validity of its authorisation will not be affected. The Commission is responsible only for the accurate reproduction of information received on individual credit institutions, while responsibility for the respective sections of the list, and especially the spelling of the style and location of the institutions and their classification in a given group, lies with the Member States in question.

With regard to entries in the column headed ‘Legal form’, which are, by their very nature, in most cases untranslatable, it should be pointed out that terminological similarities are not to be taken to indicate that the legal status is the same.

Having received other similar complaints from Italian doctors concerning this matter, the Commission departments have examined the Italian case law and have found that the principles laid down by the Court of Justice of the EU in its rulings in Cases C-131/97 Carbonari and C-371/97 Gozza have been fully respected by the national court. The national courts have accepted the principle of the retrospective application of entitlement to remuneration by not applying the national rules that were contrary to Directive 82/76/EEC (Article 8 of Legislative Decree No 257/1991 which limits entitlement to remuneration to the 1991/92 academic year and subsequent years) and have recognised entitlement to remuneration and, therefore, to reparation for the damage suffered. Notwithstanding this, in some cases the national courts have refused reparation for the damage suffered because of the time limit for bringing a case based on the national law applicable. This decision does not appear to infringe Community law as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU, in particular in the judgment of 5 March 1996 in Cases C-46/93 and C-48/93 Brasserie du pêcheur and Factortame, which states that in the absence of relevant Community provisions on the reparation of damage suffered by private individuals, it is for the domestic legal system of each Member State to set the criteria for determining the extent of reparation. However, those criteria must not be less favourable than those applying to similar claims based on domestic law (paragraph 83 of the judgment of 5 March 1996). In the present case the application of domestic law complies with this principle.
