7 Regulating European Incentives What is state aid? To qualify as State aid, an incentive must have the following features: 1. intervention by the State or through State resources 2. the recipient gains an advantage on a selective basis 3. competition has been or may be distorted 4. the intervention is likely to affect trade between Member States Governing law Article 107 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union Exceptions to the general rule (Article 107(2) and (3)) Why control state aid? The Treaty generally prohibits State aid unless it is justified by reasons of general economic development The European Commission is responsible for ensuring this prohibition is respected and exemptions are applied equally
8 Regional State Aid vs Horizontal State Aid Regional supportive of local economy Maximum aid intensities vary by region and are based on GDP per capita Incentives for job creation and capital expenditures Horizontal supportive of common interest Maximum aid intensities consistent across EU Incentives for R&D, training, sustainability
