and since even small amounts of aid to those sectors might fulfil the criteria of
Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty, the sectors in question are excluded from the
scheme.
The steel, synthetic fibres, motor vehicle and shipbuilding industries are excluded
owing, among other things, to the fact that appropriate measures have been
agreed in relation to regional investment aid

processing

NB: The following are excluded:
— Activities relating to the manu-

marketing of goods
Annex 1 to the EC Treaty.
— Aid for export-related activities
