The European Commission authorised, under EU state aid rules, €28.7 million of regional investment aid that Germany intends to grant in favour of Liebherr-MCCtec Rostock GmbH for the extension of its production facility for ship and offshore cranes in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. The project involves a total investment of €163.5 million and will create 500 new jobs in a region facing high structural unemployment. The Commission therefore concluded that the projects positive contribution to regional development outweighed any potential distortions of competition to be brought about by the aid.
