BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission on Monday cleared public support granted by Romania to Timisoara Airport, the country's third largest, and to Wizz Air (L:WIZZ), saying that the aid complied with EU rules ensuring a level playing field.
The EU Commission, the bloc's executive, also approved Romania's plans to grant a temporary loan of about 36.7 million euros (30.70 million pounds) to state-owned flag carrier Tarom to ensure the orderly continuation of air transport services.
Separately, the EU competition enforcer ordered Romania to recover 570 million euros ($618.05 million) of incompatible state aid from rail freight operator CFR Marfa because the support gave it an unfair advantage.
