Press Release: State aid: Commission opens in-depth investigation into airlines operating at Spanish airports Girona-Costa Brava and Reus

The European Commission on 16 October 2013 opened an in-depth investigation to assess whether marketing agreements concluded between public authorities and airlines using Girona-Costa Brava and Reus airports in Catalonia were in line with EU State aid rules. The opening of proceedings gives interested third parties an opportunity to submit comments on the measures under assessment; it does not prejudge the outcome of the investigation.
