European Commission consults on State aid regulations and
guidelines
The European Commission
announced on 7 January that it will extend by two years certain State aid
measures which were due to expire at the end of 2020.
The measures include: the
General Block Exemption Regulation, the De Minimis Regulation, the Guidelines
on regional aid, the Guidelines on energy and environment aid, the Guidelines
on state aid for risk finance investments, the Guidelines on rescue and
restructuring aid and the Communication on important projects of common
European interest. These measures were
adopted as part of the State Aid Modernisation Programme.
The Commission is also
conducting an evaluation or ‘fitness check’ of these measures and other State
aid measures including Framework for state aid for research and development and
innovation, the Guidelines on state aid to airports and airlines, the 2008
Railway Guidelines and the 2012 Communication on short term export credit. The results will be made available in a Commission
Staff Working Document.
