Article 4

Spain shall recover the incompatible aid granted under the scheme referred to in Article 1 from the EIG investors that have benefited from it, without the possibility for such recipients to transfer the burden of recovery to other persons. However, no recovery shall take place in respect of aid granted as part of financing operations in respect of which the competent national authorities have undertaken to grant the benefit of the measures by a legally binding act adopted before 30 April 2007.

The sums to be recovered shall bear interest from the date on which they were made available to the recipients until their actual recovery.

The interest shall be calculated on a compound basis in accordance with Chapter V of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004^f1 and Commission Regulation (EC) No 271/2008^f2 amending Regulation (EC) No 794/2004.

Spain shall cancel all outstanding payments of aid under the scheme referred to in Article 1 with effect from the date of adoption of this Decision.
