On 8 May, the European Commission will adopt a Communication on State Aid Modernisation. The aim is to inform about the objectives of this integrated strategy, its key components - a variety of state aid instruments which are closely interlinked - and the adoption timetable. The main objectives are fostering growth in the internal market by supporting targeted and non-distortive state aid, focusing enforcement on aid cases with the biggest impact on the internal market, as well as streamlined rules and faster decisions.
The background:
The Commission believes that a more focused state aid framework will allow Member States to better contribute both to the implementation of the Europe 2020 strategy for growth, as well as to budgetary consolidation.
The event:
On 8 May, the Commission will adopt a Communication "State Aid Modernisation" and organise a press conference at 12.30 at the Berlaymont press room in Brussels.
IP and MEMO will be available on the day.
