Whereas : The Luxembourg Law of 28 July 1973 implemented by the Grand-Ducal Order of 27 November 1973 and subsequently extended by the Grand-Ducal Order of 15 February 1982, introduced measures to aid the Luxembourg economy, and in particular interest relief grants, State guarantees, capital grants, tax exemptions and aids for the acquisition and conversion of land " and buildings. The Commission has examined the Luxembourg Law and has decided to raise no objection to the sectoral application thereof, provided that the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg notifies the Commission in advance and in sufficient time of significant cases of sectoral application. I1 By letter dated 10 November 1982 the Luxembourg Government, as required by the procedure, informed the Commission of its intention to grant assistance under the Law of 28 July 1973 for a proposed investment by a flat-glass manufacturer located in Bascharage. The proposed investment consists of the establishment of a processing unit for the manufacture of high- performance flat glass with an annual production capa- city of 3500000 m? for use in the building and construction industry. Approximately 70 % of the production would be exported to Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The Luxembourg firm has 160 employees and the invest- ment would create 100 additional jobs; for 50 jobs priority would be given to redundant steel workers. Total investment has been estimated at Lfrs 1100 million. The proposed aid would take the form of a capital grant of Lfrs 132 million, representing 12 % of the investment cost. The Luxembourg Government justi- fied the aid on the grounds that it would create new employment in a region facing social problems due to the restructuring of the steel industry.
