Objective of aid: The aid scheme covers general and specific
training. General training within the meaning of Article 2(e) of
Regulation (EC) No 68/2001 is training which is not applicable
only or principally to the employee's present or future position
in the assisted firm but which provides qualifications that are
largely transferable to other firms or fields of work and thereby
substantially improves the employability of the employee. For
purposes of this aid scheme, training is deemed to be ‘general’
if it is organised by a group of firms which are independent of
one another within the meaning of
the Community rules
defining SMEs, or if
is open to employees of different
firms. Checks are made on supporting documents during the
project selection procedure to ensure that these requirements
are fulfilled (the training is inter-enterprise and the enterprises
are independent)

Community guidelines on state aid for rescuing and restruc-

rescuing and restructuring measures for which they receive
public assistance. Such aid will be assessed in the light of
those guidelines. Neither does the aid scheme apply if the
amount of aid granted to one enterprise for a single training
project exceeds EUR 1 million, in which case the individual aid
grant is be notified to the Commission for its approval
