The European Commission has opened an in-depth investigation to assess whether investment aid that Poland granted to MAN Trucks Sp. z o. o. ('MAN Trucks') for extending the capacity of its existing factory in Niepołomice is in line with EU State aid rules.

MAN Trucks, a manufacturer of light/mid-weight and heavy trucks, is part of the MAN Group and the Volkswagen Group.

The Commission has to assess whether the positive effects of the aid outweigh its negative effects on competition. At this stage, based on a preliminary assessment, the Commission has found that the investment project facilitates the economic development and employment in a less advantaged region of the EU. Nevertheless, the Commission has doubts as to whether the measure is in line with the applicable EU State aid rules, in particular with the Guidelines on Regional State Aid.

A press release is available online.
