Article 2
The aid referred to in Article 1 is compatible with the common market insofar as the beneficiaries pay at least a rate of 20 % of the excise tax which would otherwise have been payable or the minimum level of taxation as determined by Directive 2003/96 (EUR 15,0 per 1 000 Kg), whichever is the lowest, subject to the condition that the aid is limited to a maximum duration of 10 years.
