Objective of aid

Meccano Aeronautica SpA, Via Nettuno n. 288, Cisterna di Latina (LT), Italy.

Art. 17 della Legge Finanziaria Regionale per l'esercizio 2002 del 16 aprile
2002 n. 8, pubblicata nel Bollettino Ufficiale Lazio del 20 aprile 2002, n. 11
S.O. n. 8

The assistance given to Meccano Aeronautica SpA amounts to EUR 3 450 000.

This figure consists of

(a) EUR 3 200 000 in aid towards investment in tangible assets within the

meaning of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 70/2001;

(b) EUR 250 000 in aid towards services provided by outside consultants

within the meaning of Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 70/2001.

The assistance will be paid out on the basis of a six-monthly check on the costs
actually borne by Meccano Aeronautica SpA for staff (a) and services (b). Full
payment is to be made no later than 31 December 2009.

The maximum intensity will be within the ceilings laid down in the aid map
approved by the Commission for Italy for the period 2000-2006, which was
published in OJ L 105, 20.4.2003, over and above the rates provided for in
Article 4(3)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 70/2001.

The contract granting the aid is to be concluded on 15 March 2005. It provides
that the aid is to be granted only in respect of eligible costs actually borne, and
only provided regular checks establish that the recipient is meeting the other
obligations it has undertaken, in particular that the aid will not be combined
with aid under any other scheme, that the investment will be no less than 75%
of the assistance (a), that the services (b) will not be of a routine nature, and
that the increase in jobs will be maintained for at least five years. For the
performance of the other obligations there are properly secured guarantees.

Full payment is to be made no later than 31 December 2009.

The aid is intended primarily as aid to an SME. It also pursues the broader
objective of reindustrialisation and reuse of the industrial plant of Goodyear
Italia SpA in order to provide new jobs for the former Goodyear employees
who have been dismissed or are in redeployment in a disadvantaged area
covered by Article 87(3)(c) of the EC Treaty.
