23/03/2011 (Agence Europe) - Approval for aid to De Tomaso SpA. On Wednesday 23 March, the European Commission authorised an Italian grant of €19.2 million to sports car producer De Tomaso SpA for a project to train its workforce in Grugliasco (Piedmont) and Guasticce (Tuscany). The Commission concluded that, on balance, the aid was compatible with EU rules as “the positive effects of the project outweigh any distortions of competition brought about by the aid”.
