The EC has opened an investigation into Romania’s E190m support measures in favour of Tarom airline, according to a statement published on Monday. The Commission said it would look into whether the restructuring package for the state-owned flag carrier was in line with EU rules on state aid to companies in difficulty. Romania plans to reduce costs and renew Tarom’s ageing fleet by means of a capital injection, a direct subsidy and a debt write-off, the Commission said, adding the carrier had been experiencing financial difficulties for years. <br/>
