4 State Aid Modernisation (SAM) objectives Three objectives: (i) to foster sustainable, smart and inclusive growth in a competitive internal market; (ii) to focus Commission ex ante scrutiny on cases with the biggest impact on internal market whilst strengthening the Member States cooperation in State aid enforcement; (iii) to streamline the rules and provide for faster decisions. State aid control should more effectively target sustainable growthenhancing policies while encouraging budgetary consolidation, limiting distortions of competition and keeping the single market open.
5 State aid modernisation main changes Common principles for assessing the compatibility of aid with the internal market were identified contribution to a well-defined objective of common interest need for State intervention appropriateness of the aid measure incentive effect proportionality of the aid (aid to the minimum) avoidance of undue negative effects on competition and trade between Member States transparency of aid State aid guidelines revised according to these new principles Guidelines for Rescue and restructuring aid, Regional Aid, Environmental and Energy Aid, Broadband, Aviation, Agriculture, Promotion of Important Projects of Common European Interest (IPCEI) and Risk Finance as well as Framework for Research, Development and Innovation
6 State aid modernisation main changes The main regulations were modernized GBER De minimis regulation Enabling regulation Procedural Regulation Implementing Regulation The notion of State aid was to be clarified and better explained (draft) Transparency of state aid awards was increased The Member States are required to evaluate their main aid schemes The Commission has launched a partnership with the Member States on the implementation of the SAM. A High Level Forum between the Commission and the Member States has been set up for regular discussions. DM
7 Relevant rules for R&D&I aid General Block Exemption Regulation R&D&I Framework De Minimis Regulation Detailed rules of different instruments are included in the GBER The Framework provides mainly guidance on what is considered state aid and how notified aid measures are assessed Most R&D&I schemes can be funded under the GBER De minimis for small projects
8 General Block Exemption regulation Applies to : (a) regional aid; (b) aid to SMEs in the form of investment aid, operating aid and SMEs' access to finance; (c) aid for environmental protection; (d) aid for research and development and innovation; (e) training aid; (f) recruitment and employment aid for disadvantaged workers and workers with disabilities; (g) aid to make good the damage caused by certain natural disasters; (h) social aid for transport for residents of remote regions; (i) aid for broadband infrastructures; (j) aid for culture and heritage conservation; (k) aid for sport and multifunctional recreational infrastructures; and (l) aid for local infrastructures

10 Lessons learnt on the evaluation plan (case Tekes) Pre-notification is essential Concentrate: evaluate the aid scheme in question (not all schemes) Use the form provided by the Commission Define the scheme and its objectives Define the exact evaluation questions, methodology and the result indicators as well as the (statistical) data sources Evaluate the indirect and negative effects as well as appropriateness of the chosen aid instruments Mid-term evaluation is needed Discuss with the Commission, preferably in advance!
11 Certain exclusions (Art. 1.4) The GBER does not apply to: aid schemes which do not explicitly exclude the payment of individual aid in favour of an undertaking which is subject to an outstanding recovery order following a previous Commission decision declaring an aid illegal and incompatible with the internal market (Deggendorf clause) aid to undertakings in difficulty, e.g. A company that has lost more than half of its subscribed share capital A company that is subject to collective insolvency proceedings These provisions must be included in the national legislation!
12 Remember also (Art. 1.5) The GBER does not apply to State aid measures, which entail, by themselves, by the conditions attached to them or by their financing method a non-severable violation of Union law, in particular: (a) aid measures where the grant of aid is subject to the obligation for the beneficiary to have its headquarters in the relevant Member State or to be predominantly established in that Member State; However, the requirement to have an establishment or branch in the aid granting Member State at the moment of payment of the aid is allowed.
