    Some questions that may come up

    These are the common requirements that all transactions have to satisfy:

    1. The financing cannot be used for refinancing or restructuring.
    2. The financing cannot be used to cover the same costs as those covered by other grants/loans/guarantees from European funds.
    3. The recipient of the financing must be up to date with the repayment obligations of other loans or advances charged to the General State Budget.
    4. The beneficial owners of the final recipients of the funds must be identified [as per Article 22.2.d) .iii) of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 February 2021].
    5. All the projects and investments financed must be economically viable.
    6. All the transactions financed with NGEU (Next Generation) funds must show that they comply with the DNSH (Do No Significant Harm) principle. This principle is a condition defined by the Commission that requires a self-assessment to ensure that the investment or reform does not adversely affect one or more of the six environmental goals defined in Regulation 852/2020: Climate Change Mitigation. 
    7. The interest rate subsidy on these transactions will be in addition to the State aid received over the last three financial years, with a ceiling of up to €300,000, in accordance with Article 13 of Law 38/2003, of November 17, 2003.
