Spanish to English Law/Patents Law: Taxation & Customs

This is from a law on incentives for foreign investments in Equatorial Guinea. This article appears after an article specifying the tax incentives that foreign companies can receive for making investments. I don't understand the use of aflicción in the context of an incentive, which is something beneficial.

Las pérdidas para fines impositivos que podrían resultar de la aflicción de los incentivos contempladas en los incisos a) y b) no serán diferidos para su posterior amortización.

(Sections a and b specify reductions in the tax base for income tax purposes for a) creating new jobs and b) training nationals.)
