C 331/6

(1)

In 2012 and 2013, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Annex IV, Chapter 2, paragraph 1 (c) (under Article 16) of the Treaty of Accession of Croatia to the European Union (‘Treaty of Accession’) (1), Croatia submitted to the Commission measures which it found to be compatible with the Union acquis. If the Commission did not raise an objection on the grounds of serious doubts as to the compatibility of the measure with the internal market the measure was regarded, upon accession, as existing aid within the meaning of Article 108(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).

(2)

That procedure covered State aid measures to all sectors with the exception of aid granted to activities linked to the production of, and trade in, products listed in Annex I to the TFEU.

(3)

The Commission published the complete list of measures which it accepted as existing aid within the meaning of Article 108(1) and under the procedure mentioned in point (1) above, on the following internet address: http://ec.europa.eu/competition/state_aid/register/. Croatia was informed about the relevant Commission decisions by means of letters from the Commissioner for Competition.

(4)

The publication referred to in point (3) only lists aid measures covered by the procedure mentioned in point (1) excluding those measures which, upon accession, are also considered as existing aid pursuant Annex IV, Chapter 2, paragraph 1 (a) and (b) of the Treaty of Accession.
