State aid and subsidies

Support that reaches its goal, and passes the European test.

  • Government
  • Business

Governments use subsidies, guarantees and tax benefits to reach public goals. From sustainable farming to technological innovation. As soon as that support favours certain companies, the EU state aid rules apply.

Those rules are not an obstacle. They are a framework. Apply them well up front and you decide faster, with less legal uncertainty. And you avoid having to recover aid later.
