Il-Kummissjoni tapprova € 15-il miljun skema Portugiża biex tappoġġja intrapriżi mikro, żgħar u ta 'daqs medju fir-reġjun tal-Azores fil-kuntest tat-tifqigħa tal-coronavirus

The European Commission has approved a €15 million Portuguese scheme to support micro, small and medium-sized enterprises with head offices or permanent establishments in the region of the Azores in the context of the coronavirus outbreak. The scheme, called ‘Apoiar.PT Açores –4ºT 2020', is open to companies from sectors most severely affected by the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak. The scheme was approved under the state aid Qafas Temporanju. Under the scheme, the public support will take the form of direct grants. The scheme will be open to companies that have experienced a 25% fall in turnover in the last quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The measure complements another measure, approved by the Commission on 10 Frar 2021 (SA.61758), which referred to the fall in turnover in the first three quarters of 2020.

The aid will correspond to 20% of the lost turnover, with a maximum amount of €5,000 for micro companies, €20,000 for small companies and €50,000 for medium-sized ones. Micro and small companies active in certain specific sectors and which declare a turnover decline of more than 50% will receive direct grants equal to 40% of the fall in turnover, with a maximum aid amount of €12,000 for micro-companies and €48,000 for small ones. The Commission found that the Portuguese scheme is in line with the conditions set out in the Temporary Framework. In particular, (i) the support will not exceed €1.8 million per company; and (ii) the aid will be granted before 31 December 2021. The Commission concluded that the measure is necessary, appropriate and proportionate to remedy a serious disturbance in the economy of a member state, in line with Article 107(3)(b) TFEU and the conditions set out in the Temporary Framework.
