    State aid - Italy

    (Articles 87 to 89 of the Treaty establishing the European Community)

    Commission notice pursuant to Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty to other Member States and interested parties

    State aid C 37/02 (ex N 715/2001) - Montefibre SpA

    (2002/C 324/06)

    (Text with EEA relevance)

    By the letter reproduced below, dated 17 July 2002, the Commission informed Italy that it had decided to terminate the proceedings initiated under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty.

    "By letter dated 25 October 2001 the Italian authorities notified a plan to grant Montefibre SpA aid totalling EUR 13,7 million towards an investment of EUR 48,9 million in a polymerisation unit at its plant in Acerra, near Naples.

    By letter dated 13 May 2002, the Commission informed Italy that it had decided to initiate the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the aid.

    By letter dated 13 May 2002, received on 21 May, Italy withdrew the notification of the aid and asked the Commission not to publish the decision to initiate the procedure in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

    The Commission notes that, under Article 8 of Council Regulation (EC) No 659/99(1), the Member State concerned may withdraw the notification in due time before the Commission has taken a decision on the aid. In cases where the Commission has initiated the formal investigation procedure, it will terminate the procedure.

    The Commission has accordingly decided to close the formal investigation procedure under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the relevant aid, since Italy has withdrawn its notification.

    As the decision to initiate proceedings has not yet been published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, and as the purpose served by such publication (to invite third parties to present their comments) no longer exists, the Commission has decided to suspend such publication."
