The European Commission has authorised a grant of approximately €146.27 million to Voestalpine Stahl for the remediation of a site owned by the company in Linz (region of Upper Austria) and whose contamination dates back to World War II. The Commission found the state support to be in line with EU rules on state aid for environmental protection. In particular, it respects the "polluter pays" principle and does not result in overcompensation. |
