Within the calls launched through this guide, for all investment categories mentioned in section 1.3.1 of this guide, in conjunction with the categories of eligible expenses/interventions from section 1.3.2, the minimum amount is 50,000 euros and the maximum is 200,000 euros . The exchange rate at which the entry into the respective minimum and maximum values will be calculated is the inforeuro exchange rate from September 2022, respectively 1 euro = 4.8657 lei.

The maximum non-refundable financing granted for an investment project under this scheme cannot exceed 100% of the eligible value of the investment, respectively the equivalent in lei of 200,000 euros or 100,000 euros, as the case may be, according to the following:

The maximum amount of the de minimis aid that can be granted to the applicant cannot exceed the equivalent in lei of 200,000 euros, over a period of 3 consecutive fiscal years (two previously concluded fiscal years and the current fiscal year), regardless of whether the aid was granted from sources national or European. The total value of the de minimis aid granted to the applicant who carries out road transport of goods on behalf of third parties or against cost cannot exceed the equivalent in lei of 100,000 euros over a period of 3 consecutive fiscal years. This de minimis aid cannot be used for the purchase of vehicles for the road transport of goods. If the applicant is part of a sole enterprise, within the meaning of the definition provided in art. 2 lit. (2) of the European Commission Regulation no. 1407/2013 on the application of articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to de minimis aid, for the verification of the fulfillment of this criterion, the de minimis aid granted to the sole enterprise will be taken into account;

When a company that carries out road transport of goods on behalf of third parties or for a fee also carries out other activities for which the ceiling of 200,000 euros applies, in the case of that company the ceiling of 200,000 euros, equivalent in lei, is applied, provided that the accounting documents are presented which certifies the separation of the record of these activities or the distinction between costs, to prove that the amount benefiting from the activity of road transport of goods does not exceed the equivalent in lei of 100,000 euros and that the de minimis aid is not used for the purchase of vehicles for the road transport of goods ;

The de minimis ceilings apply regardless of the form of the de minimis aid or the objective pursued and regardless of whether the aid granted by the Member State is financed in whole or in part from Community resources.

For de minimis aids granted in stages, in several installments, they are updated to their value at the time they are granted, using the discount rate applicable on the date of granting the aids.

If, by granting new de minimis aid, the above-mentioned de minimis ceiling would be exceeded, the applicant can benefit from the provisions of this scheme only for the part of the requested non-reimbursable financing that falls within the de minimis ceiling, in compliance with the rules of cumul. In this sense, the applicant can opt, until the granting of the de minimis aid based on this scheme, for the reduction of the requested financing or for the complete or partial waiver of previous aid already received in order not to exceed the de minimis plan. In the case of company mergers or acquisitions of shares, when determining whether new de minimis aid granted to a new undertaking or the acquiring undertaking exceeds the relevant ceiling, all previous de minimis aid granted to all merging undertakings shall be taken into account. De minimis aid legally granted before the merger or acquisition remains legally granted.
