Brussels, 02/07/2012 (Agence Europe) - Given that its current communication on applying European state aid rules to the short-term credit export insurance sector will expire on 31 December, the European Commission launched, on 29 June, a consultation to obtain comments from member states and interested parties (including citizens, export credit agencies, chambers of commerce, export credit insurance bodies) on applying the current communication and, more generally, on the financing of exports. Comments must be sent by 21 September when the consultation closes. They can be sent to: stateaidgreffe@ec.europa.eu.
