EU investigates Poland’s €53m aid package incentive

THE EU is investigating a €53 million aid package the Polish government has promised Dell for the plant that is resulting in the loss of 1,900 jobs in its Limerick operation.

A spokesperson for the European Commission said it suspected the aid, in the form of tax breaks and direct grants, could be more than the permitted threshold.

If it is, Poland would not be allowed to go ahead with the package but the investigation will take about six months to complete.
