Article 2

Italy shall take all necessary measures to recover from the beneficiaries the aid described in Article 1, made available to them unlawfully and corresponding to the difference between the total amount that the beneficiaries would have paid for interest and ancillary costs under normal market conditions applied at the date on which the loans were taken out and the total interest and ancillary costs actually paid by the beneficiaries.

The recovery shall be carried out without delay and in accordance with procedures of domestic law provided that these allow the immediate and effective execution of this Decision. The aid to be recovered includes interest from the date on which the aid was made available to the beneficiaries until the date of recovery.

For payment instalments on loans still outstanding at the date of notification of this Decision, Italy shall take steps to ensure that the borrower pays the balance of the instalments under normal market conditions.
