The European Commission, under case SA.119644, has issued a decision not to raise objections to state aid granted by France and Italy for the operation of the alpine rail freight service connecting Aiton, France, and Orbassano, Italy. The aid instrument is a direct grant, and the case type is classified as a scheme. The primary objective is transport coordination, and the aid will be in effect until December 31, 2027.

This decision signifies that the Commission has assessed the aid and found it compatible with the internal market, meaning regulated entities involved in this specific rail freight operation can proceed with the planned aid. No immediate compliance actions are required from external parties as this is a decision by the Commission regarding aid approval. The effective date of the decision is March 16, 2026.
