Commission notice on current State aid recovery interest rates and reference/discount rates for
27 Member States applicable as from 1 February 2009

(Published in accordance with Article 10 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 (OJ L 140, 30.4.2004,
p. 1))

(2009/C 17/03)

Base rates calculated in accordance with the Communication from the Commission on the revision of the
method for setting the reference and discount rates (OJ C 14, 19.1.2008, p. 6). Depending on the use of the
reference rate, the appropriate margins have still to be added as defined in this communication. For the
discount rate this means that a margin of 100 basis points has to be added. The Commission Regulation
(EC) No 271/2008 of 30 January 2008 amending the implementing Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 foresees
that, unless otherwise provided for in a specific decision, the recovery rate will also be calculated by adding
100 basis points to the base rate.
