Press Release: State aid: Commission approves €58 million aid to Duslo a.s. for modernising ammonia production in Šal’a, Slovakia

In January 2015 the European Commission found that Slovak plans to provide €58 million regional investment aid to Duslo a.s. were in line with EU state aid rules. Duslo, which forms part of the Czech conglomerate Agrofert, is located in Šal'a, Slovakia, and produces nitrogen (including ammonia), compound industrial fertilisers and other chemical products, such as rubber chemicals. The Commission concluded that the aid would further regional development objectives without unduly distorting competition in the Single Market.
