On the basis of transparent and non-discriminatory criteria and without prejudice to Union State aid law, Member States may set up support schemes for SMEs, including if they have concluded voluntary agreements, to cover costs of an energy audit and of the implementation of highly cost-effective recommendations from the energy audits, if the proposed measures are implemented.
Na podlagi preglednih in nediskriminatornih meril ter brez poseganja v pravo Unije o državni pomoči lahko države članice vzpostavijo programe podpore za MSP, tudi če so ta sklenila prostovoljne sporazume, za kritje stroškov energetskih pregledov in izvajanja stroškovno zelo učinkovitih priporočil, ki izhajajo iz energetskih pregledov, če se predlagani ukrepi izvedejo.
