    Abstract

    Executive Summary > The State Aid Modernisation that was completed in July 2014 has established the rules that apply to public subsidies in 2014-2020. > The new rules are based on ‘common compatibility principles’, which require that aid addresses market failure, is necessary and proportional, and does not cause excessive distortion of competition. > The institutional centrepiece of the Modernisation is the new General Block Exemption Regulation (GBER) that enables Member States to grant state aid without prior notification to the European Commission. > Member States can thus avoid the administrative cost of notification, while the Commission can direct its efforts to the most serious cases. > However, the increased use of the GBER has also made state aid measures less visible.
