The group as a whole is also an SME.

The aid is conditional on the effective implementation of the investment, its continued presence on the assets side of the firm's balance sheet for five years and the generation of 293 jobs in the period 2001-2004.

The aid is being implemented under Commission Regulation (EC) No 70/2001 of 12 January 2001, since it meets all the requirements laid down.
