Slovakia said Friday it had
not used any State aid to help Embraco delocalise from Italy.
A Slovakian diplomat told ANSA "we will respond to the
European Commission's letter with the documentation that proves
we did not furnish any direct or indirect aid for Embraco's
decision to delocalise its production".
Italy has appealed to the EC over Embraco's moving almost 500
jobs from its plant near Turin to Slovakia, and Competition
Commissioner Margrethe Vestager has promised to be
"intransigent" on the case.
Embraco is a Brazilian company that makes fridge compressors
for its parent, US multinational Whirlpool.
