EU Approves Austrian Short-Term Export Credit Insurance Plan

BRUSSELS (Dow Jones)--The European Commission Thursday cleared the Austrian government to provide export credit insurance to help countries unable to find coverage from private sources.

The government scheme, which is cleared to run until the end of 2010, is designed to help Austrian exporters cope with the fallout from the financial crisis.

The commission, the European Union's regulatory arm, has cleared similar measures for other countries in the bloc.
