The European Commission has concluded that public service compensation granted to Caremar SpA from January 2009 to July 2012, and from July 2015 to July 2024, aligns with EU State aid rules. This includes €98 million for eight routes in the Gulf of Naples and €97 million from 2015 to 2024.
The Commission determined that these compensations met public service needs without overcompensation and did not qualify as State aid. Additionally, fiscal exemptions and funds used for safety upgrades were deemed non-aid measures. More details are available on the European Commission’s press release.
