State aid: the European Commission simplifies rules for public investment in ports, airports, culture and outermost regions.
- 22/05/2017
On May 17, the European Commission approved new rules on state aid so as to allow Member States to intervene in certain sectors without a prior scrutiny by the Commission.
Already in 2014, the “General Block Exemption Regulation” introduced similar measures to support public intervention in research, development and innovation.
With the present intervention, rules for public investments in regional airports, small ports, culture, sport arenas and support for businesses investing in the EU’s outermost regions are simplified.
This intervention concerns exclusively administrative aspects. However, the general issue of national and European public contributions for development is of utmost importance for the opportunities offered to businesses. For this reason, we are organizing an information campaign on this matter through specific initiatives being finalized.
