Sažetak
The transport sector is one of the sectors most affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Lockdowns, travel restrictions, and other containment measures reduced the movement of persons and goods. Maritime transport was affected by the COVID-19 including all segments of the shipping industry as well. Shipowners had problems with crew changes due to extreme COVID-19 travel restrictions. This caused deviation of the vessels and increase of expenses and decrease of potential earnings. EU Law authorizes the Member States to support undertakings hit by the consequences of the exceptional occurrences such as pandemics. However, Member States are obligated to ensure that State aid awarded complies with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and EU secondary legislation, as interpreted by the Court of Justice of the EU. By adopting a Temporary Framework for State aid measures to support the economy in the current COVID-19 outbreak (Temporary Framework) the Commission has permitted the Member States to grant high levels of State aid, provided for in that Framework to support undertakings in all sectors. Additionally, European Commission departments issued specific guidelines on the application of the EU State aid rules to the maritime sector during the COVID-19 pandemic that have been analysed in this presentation. Special attention is devoted to the State aid Scheme to support the maritime, transport, transport infrastructure, and related sectors impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak that Republic of Croatia applied to the Commission under the Temporary Framework.
