Brussels, 03/01/2002 (Agence Europe) - The European Commission has given its go-ahead for aid in favour of Technologie Diesel Italia (TDIT), a subsidiary of he German group Bosch. This 66.21 million euro aid represents 28% of total investments for the construction of a new factory in Bari, an assisted region in southern Italy, which will be specialised in the manufacture of a new generation of injection pumps for diesel engines used in cars. Due to the level of investment and the amount of aid being proposed, which exceeds 50 million euro, the aid was the subject of an examination under the multi-sectoral framework of aid for regional purposes. This framework states that aid granted for any defined project must meet three conditions: the situation of the market in questions, the ratio between the investment and the number of jobs created and the project's regional impact. The Commission considered that this aid met these criteria, thus authorised it.
