Teema: the placement
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Sigitas Cemnolonskis. I am State aid expert working on the EU funded Project “EU
Support to the Kosovo Competition Authority and the State Aid Commission”. The overall
objective of the Project is to support the Government of Kosovo to further develop its institutional
capacity to create the basis for sustainable economy standards in line with the EU acquis and in
line with the requirements of the EU-Kosovo Stabilisation and Association Agreement. In
particular, the Project is intended to contribute towards ensuring a competitive environment in
Kosovo and a higher level of discipline in State aid to the business sector by increasing and
strengthening the efficiency and effectiveness of administrative capacities in the fields of
competition and State aid and ensuring the approximation of legislation in these fields and credible
enforcement in line with EU law.
One of Project activities under State aid Component is focused on organization of study visits and
placements for the representatives of Kosovo State aid enforcement authority. The primary
purpose of this activity is to provide an opportunity for the technicians of the State Aid Department
within the Kosovo Ministry of Finance, Labour and Transfers (SAD) to visit counterpart
institutions, responsible for State aid in the EU and its Member States, to share the experience and
best practices in the State aid law enforcement and to establish bilateral relationships.
In that regard, the Project intends to organise a one-week placement for one SAD official at a
relevant MS institution in the forthcoming period. The expected scope of the research is the
application of rescue and restructuring aid rules. For the time being we are exploring the best
location for the planned external placement. I was just wondering if this internship placement could
be organised in cooperation with the relevant institution in Estonia. I would very much hope that
you probably could assist on this with a favourable response.
If we move forward on this, please know that all direct costs will be covered by the Project, and
that we would be happy to agree on any appropriate variation on the programme/topics/duration
that will be indicated in the Concept Paper.
I look forward to your earliest response.
With best regards
Sigitas Cemnolonskis
