2009/972/EC: Commission Decision of 17 June 2009 on aid scheme C 41/06 (ex N 318/A/04) which Denmark is planning to implement for refunding the CO 2 tax on quota-regulated fuel consumption in industry (notified under document C(2009) 4517) (Text with EEA relevance)

As the proposed Danish scheme (Act No 464 of 9 June 2004) does not fall under Regulation (EC) No 1998/2006, it constitutes State aid which is only compatible with the common market under the condition that the concerned beneficiaries pay a tax on their respective energy consumption corresponding to at least the Community minimum taxation levels set out in Annex I of Directive 2003/96/EC. If Denmark wishes to implement the aid measure, it shall be amended accordingly.

Denmark shall inform the Commission, within two months of notification of this Decision, of the measures taken to comply with it.

This Decision is addressed to the Kingdom of Denmark.
