În luna octombrie, Consiliul Concurenþei a finalizat Raportul privind
monitorizarea ajutoarelor de stat acordate operatorilor
economici din zonele libere.
Sprijinul financiar de care beneficiazã agenþii economici din zonele libere are ca obiectiv susþinerea unei politici regionale eficiente care sã conducã la creºterea nivelului de dezvoltare economicã prin stimularea investiþiilor ºi a schimburilor comerciale în zonele libere, favorizând astfel extinderea, modernizarea ºi diversificarea activitãþilor agenþilor economici beneficiari.
Acþiunea s-a desfãºurat în perioada august-septembrie 2006 ºi a vizat monitorizarea, prin inspectoratele teritoriale de concurenþã, a
ajutoarelor de stat acordate în cele cinci zone libere operaþionale (Brãila, Constanþa, Curtici-Arad, Galaþi ºi Giurgiu).
Iniþial, Ministerul Finanþelor Publice a declarat un numãr de 33 de operatori economici ca fiind eligibili de a primi ajutor de stat sub forma
diminuãrii redevenþei. Dintre aceºtia, 5 operatori au renunþat la
ajutoarele de stat, un operator economic a atins nivelul maxim admisibil al intensitãþii ºi ca urmare nu mai beneficiazã de ajutor de stat, iar în cazul SC Romned Company SRL, care a depãºit limita maxim admisã, Ministerul Finanþelor Publice a recuperat ajutorul de stat ilegal împreunã cu dobânda aferentã (conform Deciziei Consiliului Concurenþei nr.82 /04.04.2006).
Prin urmare, controlul a vizat un numãr de 26 operatori economici. Dintre aceºtia, 17 au beneficiat de ajutor de stat în perioada 2003-2004 sub forma reducerii impozitului pe profit în cuantum de
716.882,8 USD ºi 3.548 euro, fãrã a depãºi nivelul maxim admisibil al intensitãþii ajutorului de stat.

cuantum de 1.282.936,3 USD ºi 100.466 euro. Valoarea totalã a investiþiilor realizate pânã la data de 1 noiembrie 2004, de cãtre cei 33 de agenþi economici comunicaþi iniþial de Ministerul Finanþelor Publice ca fiind eligibili de a primi ajutor de stat,

In October, the Competition Consiliul finalized the Report on the
monitoring of the State aids granted to economic operators from
the free zones.
The financial support of which beneficiate the economic operators from
the free zones has as objective an efficient supporting regional policy,
for increasing the economic development level by stimulating the
investments and trading in free zones, favoring the enlargement,
modernization and diversity of the beneficiaries activities.
The action was carried out during August-September 2006 and
envisaged the monitoring, through the territorial competition
inspectorates, of the State aids granted in the five operational free
zones (Brãila, Consþanta, Curtici-Arad, Galaþi and Giurgiu).
Initially, the Ministry of Public Finances declared a number of 33
economic operators eligible for receiving State aids under the form of
royalty reduction. Of this number, 5 operators renounced at the State
aids, an economic operator reached the maximum admitted limit of
the State aid intensity, and in the case of SC Romned Company SRL,
which exceeded the maximum admitted limit, the Ministry of Public
Finances recovered the unlawful State aid alongside the respective
interest (according to the Competition Council's Decision
no.82 /04.04.2006).
Thus, the control envisaged 26 economic operators. Of this number,
17 beneficiated of state aid during 2003-2004 as reduction of profit
tax in amount of USD 716,882.8 and Euro 3,548, without exceeding
the maximum admitted limit of the State aid intensity.
Also, starting with March 2005, the economic operators beneficiated
of State aids in quantum of USD 1,282,936.3 and Euro 100,466,
under the form of royalty reduction.
The total value of the investments made until 1 November 2004, by the
33 undertakings eligible for receiving State aid, is about USD 15
million.
