REGULATION (EEC) No 2364/75 OF THE COMMISSION

of 15 September 1975

on the calculation of aids in the form of loans at reduced rates of interest or of interest rebates which are not specified in percentage points

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 724/75 (1) of 18 March 1975 establishing a European Regional Fund, and in particular Article 4 thereof;

Whereas the application of this Regulation requires that State aids in the form of loans at reduced interest rates or of interest rebates which are not specified in percentage points should be capable of being compared and added up;

Whereas this calculation should be made by reference to the interest rate used for comparable operations which is in force at the time of the granting of the reduced interest loan or interest rebate;

Whereas such forms of aid are only provided in certain Member States; whereas there is therefore no need to specify reference rates for the other Member States;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the Opinion of the Fund Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

In all cases where a loan is granted at a reduced rate of interest or where an interest rebate is not stated in advance to be a rebate of a specific number of percentage points, the amount of the reduction in the interest rate or of the rebate shall be calculated on the basis of a reference rate.

Article 2

The reference rates for the Member States mentioned below shall be as follows:

Article 3

In each case the reference rate in force on the day of the decision to grant the interest rebate or the reduced interest loan shall be used. This rate shall be indicated in the request for assistance from the Fund.

Article 4

This Regulation shall enter into force on the fifth day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
