The European Commission has approved a €4 million (DKK 30 million) Danish aid scheme for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) affected by the coronavirus outbreak. The scheme was approved under the state aid Temporary Framework. The public support will take the form of interest-free credit facilities in relation to wage taxes due by SMEs.

The Commission found that the Danish scheme is in line with the conditions set out in the Temporary Framework.
