Article 1 
The notified aid of EUR 6 575 558 proposed by Portugal to Estaleiros Navais de Viana do Castelo S.A. in relation to seven contracts signed by this shipyard cannot be authorized under Council Regulation (EC) No 1177/2002 concerning a temporary defensive mechanism to shipbuilding as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 502/2004 and is therefore incompatible with the common market. The aid must not be implemented.
Article 2 
This Decision is addressed to Portugal.
