Press Release: State aid: Commission opens in-depth inquiry into State measures in favour of Slovak company Novácké chemické závody (NCHZ)

The European Commission has opened an in-depth investigation to verify whether the non-payment of social security contributions and other liabilities due to the Slovak state during the bankruptcy proceedings of NCHZ was in line with EU State aid rules. The opening of an investigation gives interested third parties the opportunity to submit comments; it does not prejudge the outcome of the investigation.
