קאמיסיע באשטעטיגט 97 מיליאן דנישע סכעמע צו באגראבן רייזע אָפּערייטערז פאר שעדיקן געפֿירט דורך קאַנסאַליישאַנז רעכט צו # קאָראָנאַווירוס ויסברוך

The European Commission has approved under EU state aid rules an approximately €97 million (DKK 725m) Danish scheme to compensate travel operators for damages caused by the cancellation of package travels due to the exceptional circumstances caused by the coronavirus outbreak and the subsequent travel restrictions imposed by the Danish Government. Under the scheme, travel operators will be entitled to compensation for the losses suffered as a consequence of reimbursing consumers in the event of cancellation.

The compensation, in the form of direct grants covering up to 100% of documented losses related to the coronavirus outbreak, will be granted by the Danish Travel Guarantee Fund and will cover the period from 26 January 2020 until 31 May 2020, corresponding to the timeframe in which the Danish government has put in place travel restrictions.

The Commission found that the Danish measure is in line with Article 107 (2) פון די טריטי אויף די פאַנגקשאַנינג פון דער אייראפעישער פֿאַרבאַנד (TFEU), וואָס אַלאַוז די קאַמישאַן צו אַפּפּראָוועד שטאַט הילף מיטלען געגעבן דורך מיטגליד שטאַטן צו פאַרגיטיקן ספּעציפיש קאָמפּאַניעס אָדער ספּעציפיש סעקטאָרס פֿאַר די דאַמידזשיז גלייַך געפֿירט דורך יקסעפּשאַנאַל פֿאַלן, אַזאַ ווי די קאָראָנאַווירוס ויסברוך.

The Commission found that the Danish measure will compensate damages that are directly linked to the coronavirus outbreak. It also found that the measure is proportionate, as the envisaged compensation does not exceed what is necessary to make good the damage.  The Commission therefore concluded that the scheme is in line with EU state aid rules.

The non-confidential version of the decision will be made available under the case number SA.57352 in the public פאַל רעגיסטרירן אויף די קאַמישאַן ס קאָנקורענץ website, once confidentiality issues have been resolved.
