EU: Updated State aid guiding templates

Templates to assist Member States in designing measures

The European Commission (EC) today published updated State aid guiding templates to assist Member States in designing measures that will be included in their national recovery and resilience plans in line with EU State aid rules.

As explained in the related EC release:

  • The updated technical documents will help Member States design measures that further contribute to the implementation of the European Green Deal, while helping to end the dependence on Russian fossil fuels and fast forward the green transition as set out in the REPowerEU Plan.
  • All investments and reforms entailing State aid included in the national recovery plans must be notified to the EC for prior approval, unless covered by one of the State aid block-exemption rules.
  • The EC assesses measures entailing State aid contained in the national recovery plans to confirm that the applicable State aid rules are complied with and thereby preserve the level playing field in the single market.
