  10. SME INITIATIVE IN SPAIN • Given the situation of credit contraction to SMEs, Spain decided to participate in SME Initiative through ERDF resources. • The majority of Spanish Regions also decided to participate. • Additionally, the State Administration contributes with 134,2 M€ (ERDF Aid) that have been distributed between the participant regions. • Total ERDF Spanish contribution is 800 M€ and the expected leverage is of 4 minimum. The volume of expected new loans to SMEs is hence higher than 3.200 M€.

  11. REGIONAL CONTRIBUTION • Expected Leverage between 4 and 5 per region. • EIB Fees shall depend on the leverage achieved • If in any region part of the Funds would not be employed to new loans to SMEs, such region would recover its contribution for its Regional OP. • There shall be a system of penalties to the financial intermediaries not fulfilling their commitments. These penalties will revert on the regions • Participant regions are represented in the Investors Board, jointly with the State administration, the EIF, the EIB and the Commission. • There will be Monitoring Committees as in any other OP.
