Commission approves €390 million Italian rescue loan to Acciaierie d'Italia under EU State aid rules
On February 10, 2026, the European Commission officially approved a €390 million rescue loan for Acciaierie d’Italia (ADI), the operator of Italy’s largest steelworks in Taranto, clearing the path for its recovery. This state aid, granted under strict EU regulations, provides a critical lifeline to ensure the company’s liquidity and business continuity during its ongoing extraordinary administration.

The funding is designed to cover urgent operating costs and essential environmental maintenance, preventing a total production halt that could devastate the regional economy. As a condition of the approval, Italy must present a comprehensive restructuring or liquidation plan by August 2026. 

The intervention marks a pivotal moment in the 2026 recovery strategy, aiming to stabilize the plant’s industrial output while the government seeks a long-term private buyer to modernize the facility and secure thousands of jobs.
