I.   Introduction

The Communication of the Commission to the Member States pursuant to Article 93(1) of the EC Treaty applying Articles 92 and 93 of the Treaty to short-term export-credit insurance (1) (the ‘Communication’) stipulates that marketable risks cannot be covered by export-credit insurance with the support of Member States.
