Caremar, EU approves state aid: in line with European rules

Brussels – The European Commission closes the file on Caremar and state aid. The EU executive has concluded that the public service compensation granted from January 1, 2009, to July 31, 2012, to the company for the operation of ferry services in Italy “is in line with EU state aid rules.” The same also applies to the compensation granted to Caremar under the public service contract concluded for the period from July 16, 2015, to July 15, 2024, after Caremar was acquired by the temporary association of companies SNAV/Rifim Srl. The decision closes audits that began in 2011 and extended in 2012.
