The European Commission, under case number SA.120647, has issued a decision not to raise objections to a state aid scheme proposed by Slovakia. This scheme pertains to the maintenance of passenger train workshops located in Žilina and Košice. The primary objective aligns with economic activities in passenger rail transport, specifically NACE Rev. 2.1 sector H.49.1.

This decision signifies that the proposed state aid measure is deemed compliant with EU competition rules. Regulated entities involved in passenger rail transport within Slovakia, particularly those operating or utilizing maintenance workshops, should note this approval. While no specific compliance actions are mandated by this decision for external parties, it confirms the legality of the aid for the designated workshops, potentially impacting market dynamics and service availability.
