The EC does not allow governments to provide aid to businesses that have no chance of ever standing on their own feet, but will agree to temporary assistance if there is a real chance that a business in difficulty can eventually become more competitive as a result.
EK ne dozvoljava vladama da pružaju pomoć preduzećima za koja ne postoje izgledi da ikada stanu na sopstvene noge, ali će pristati na privremenu pomoć ukoliko postoji realna šansa da firma koja se suočila sa poteškoćama kao rezultat te pomoći postane konkurentnija.
