Derimod rådede Kommissionen ikke i april måned over tilstrækkelige oplysninger til at kunne betragte stolten til SDBO som forenelig med fællesmarkedet.

DEM (50 mio. ECU) forbeholdt dækning af de økonomiske risici, der er forbundet med SMV's kapitaldeltagelse i virksomheder i de central­ og osteuropæiske lande, det tidligere Sovjetunionen og en række ostasiatiske lande.
The resulting increase in the capital of WestLB had been valued at DEM 5 900 million (ECU 3 100 million), and while part of these funds had to be used for their previouspurpose, namely housing promotion, at least DEM 2 500 million could be used by WestLB for itsbusiness activities.
Ordningen omfatter ikke dækning af' politiske risici. Garantiernes får en varighed på ti år og skal dække højst 80% af kapitaldeltagelsen med et loft på 5 mio. DEM pr. projekt og 10 mio. pr. SMV eller 30 mio. pr. sammenslutning af SMV.
The Commission took this decision after examining the transfer in the light of theprinciple of the private investor operating under normal market economy conditions, and concluding thatit involved state aid.

On 12 March the Commission decided to reconsider an aid measure it had authorised in 1996, andinitialed Article 93(2) proceedings in respect of that measure and further aid planned by the Frenchauthorities.
Foranstaltningen er blevet ændret på flere punkter i forbindelse med den procedure, der var indledt efter traktatens artikel 93, stk. 2.
In September 1996 the Commission had cleared aid granted by the French State to the GANinsurance group in the form of a capital injection of FRF 2 860 million (ECU 438.8 million) towards arestructuring plan which included the sale of the CIC banking group.
Foranstaltningen består nu i tildeling af lån til markedsrente understøttet afen garantiordning på vilkår, herunder præmiebeløb, som giver mulighed for selvfinansiering.
As GAN continued to be in difficulty,and the transfer of CIC had not taken place, the French Government proposed at the beginning of 1997 thata further FRF 20 billion (ECU 3 068.5 million) should be provided in aid, comprising a further capitalinjection of FRF 11 billion and a state guarantee to cover losses of FRF 9 billion which it was estimated GAN would incur in implementing the guarantees it would have to provide, as part of the restructuringoperation, for loans granted to the hived-off property company Baticredit Finance et Cie, set up in 1994.
Efter en nærmere undersøgelse af den ændrede foranstaltning konkluderede Kommissionen, at den ikke mere indeholder noget støtteelement efter traktatens artikel 92.
On 30 July the Commission decided to terminate the Article 93(2) proceedings and to authorise amaximum of FRF 23.76 million (ECU 3.81 million) in aid to GAN, subject to a 10% fluctuation margin.It concluded that the aid would meet the requirements of the guidelines on state aid for rescuing andrestructuring firms in difficulty provided a number of conditions were met: for example, the group'sinternational insurance activities had to be reduced by 50 % (a figure of FRF 7 000 million(ECU 1 055 million)); and other financial holdings of the group valued at FRF 2 400 million(ECU 361.7 million) had to be disposed of. CIC and GAN would have to be sold, either together orseparately, in order to ensure a return to viability.
Kommissionen besluttede den 16. september ikke at gore indsigelse efter undtagelsesbestemmelsen i artikel 92. stk. 3, litra c), over for indførelsen afen selvfinansieret ordning til genforsikring af politiske, ikke­kommcrciellc risici i forbindelse med nederlandske virksomheders investeringer, navnlig risici som folge af borgerkrig, ekspropriering eller nationalisering.
On 2 April the Commission decided to extend the proceedings initiated on 18 September 1996 withregard to aid of FRF 101.5 million (ECU 15.6 million) granted to Societe de Banque Occidentale("SDBO"); the Commission had now ascertained that the aid received by SDBO was in fact greater,amounting to FRF 190.5 million (ECU 28.9 million).
Loftet for de garanterede investeringer er fastsat til 1 mia. NLG (455 mio. ECU), idet det garantibeløbet højst må dække 90 % af'investeringsbeløbet, og højst 200% af det investerede beløb kan tilbagebetales ved overførselstab.
On the basis of fresh information provided by the French authorities, the Commission considered that the capital injection and the transfer of assets from SDBO to Credit Lyonnais no longer appeared to involve state aid to Credit Lyonnais.
Investeringsgarantiens varighed begrænses til femten år efter investeringens gennemførelse og tyve år for den samlede periode.
But the Commission did not have sufficient information to determine whether the aid to SDBO was compatiblewith the common market.
Den 16. april havde Kommissionen ingen indvendinger mod optagelsen i Air France's kapital al" det beløb på 1 mia. FRF. som udgør restbeløbet af den tredje og sidste rate af' statsstøtte på et samlet beløb på 20 mia. FRF til det franske luftfartsselskab.
On 16 December the Commission decided to initiate Article 93(2) proceedings in respect of two statesavings schemes: Credit Mutuel, on account of the financial conditions under which it exercised theexclusive right granted it by the French authorities to collect Livret bleu savings, and Credit Agricole,which enjoyed an exclusive right to take deposits from notaries in rural areas.
Kommissionen godkendte samme dato udbetaling til det nationale portugisiske luftfartsselskab TAP af den fjerde og sidste rate af den samlede kapitalforhøjelse på 180 mia. PTE, der oprindeligt var blevel godkendt den 6. juli 1994.
The Livret bleu was a partially tax-exempt savings account aimed at the general public, which Credit Mutuel had the exclusive right to operate.
Kommissionen havde sikret sig. at de betingelser, der var indeholdt i beslutningen, var opfyldt, og at omstruktureringsplanen for virksomheden generelt forlob som planlagt.
The Commission considered that this savings mechanism,which was supposed to meet public-interest objectives defined by the public authorities, also benefited Credit Mutuel, which might therefore be receiving state aid.
Kommissionen gjorde dog gældende, at det er nødvendigt at fortsætte bestræbelserne på at sikre virksomhedens levedygtighed på lang sigt. navnlig gennem overenskomster med fagforeningerne og indtægtsforøgelser.
The funds collected through Livret bleuaccounts, which currently amounted to some FRF 90 billion, were only partially reinvested forpublic-interest purposes, and a growing proportion of the savings was reinvested, with Credit Mutuelreceiving a financial intermediation commission.
Kommissionen godkendte den 15. juli på en række betingelser udbetaling til selskabet Alitalia af et støttebeløb på 2 750 mia. ITL i form at kapitaltilførsel.

On 16 December, taking the view that the measure was compatible with the guidelines on aid for small andmedium-sized enterprises, the Commission decided not to object to the introduction by the Land of Saxony-Anhalt of a guarantee scheme with a budget of DEM 100 million (ECU 50 million) intended tocover the financial risks incurred by SMEs acquiring shareholdings in firms located in the countries of centraland eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and certain countries of eastern Asia.
Kommissionen tog ligeledes i betragtning, at stotten i vidt omfang skal opveje omkostningerne ved brug ai Eurotunnellens infrastrukturer.
