The general trend <strong>of</strong> decrease in the volume <strong>of</strong> such aid by 2008 is because the vast majority <strong>of</strong><br />

aid was granted as tax incentives. Since 2007, new schemes have been initiated with the<br />

objective <strong>of</strong> regional state aid, in full compliance with EU rules.<br />

Also while checking operators in June 2010 (a total <strong>of</strong> 109 from disadvantaged areas), a study<br />
