PROCEDURE (1)  On 27 October 2008, the Italian authorities notified the Commission of the Region of Calabria’s intention to grant aid in the form of capital injections to cover operational losses made by SO.G.A.S. SpA Societa per la Gestione dell’Aeroporto dello Stretto (SO.G.A.S." or ‘the recipient): SO.G.A.S. is the company managing the Stretto or ‘Strait’ airport, which is the airport of Reggio Calabria. (2)  In the course of the preliminary examination the Commission became aware of other measures benefiting the same recipient which appeared to constitute unlawful State aid. The Commission therefore included those measures in its investigation. (3)  As the Commission had information suggesting that the State support had in fact been granted before the Commission could assess its compatibility with the internal market, it registered the case as non-notified aid, under the number NN 32/10. (4)  The Commission requested additional information regarding the notified measure on 27 November 2008, 23 February 2009 and 19 May 2009. Italy replied on 14 January 2009, 26 March 2009 and 9 October 2009. (5) By letter dated 20 July 2010, the Commission informed Italy that it had decided to initiate the formal investiga- tion procedure laid down in Article 108(2) of the TFEU in respect of the aid to SO.G.A.S. (‘the opening decision). (6)  The Commission’s decision to initiate the investigation was published in the Official Journal of the European Union (%). The Commission there called on interested parties to submit their comments. (7) By letter dated 19 November 2010 the recipient submitted its comments on the opening decision. On 20 December 2010 the Commission forwarded the recipient’s comments to the Italian authorities and asked for their reaction.
