THE MODERNISATION OF STATE AID FOR ECONOMIC AND...

This book analyses the recent modernisation of EU State aid law from various perspectives  and
considers both substantive and procedural aspects. It also discusses the reasons for  and the
goals and future implications of the modernisation programme  including the evolution of the
concept of State aid. The ambitious reform programme was launched in 2012 and has now been
almost fully implemented by virtue of the adoption of new rules of procedure in July 2013  and
exemption in June 2014. The book highlights the main aspects of this sector reform  which
include the Commission¿s change of attitude towards so-called positive aid  i.e. those able to
promote economic growth  and the intention to focus on matters of greater systematic extent.
These objectives also imply a third aspect: increasing the intensity of the control powers
conferred on the Commission with regard to that aid that prove to be harmful to competition and
the internal market. The book also examines the greater responsibility given to States for
self-assessment of their economic policy measures  and explores the resulting impact on  and
challenges posed to the administrations of the Member States. The book¿s second part is devoted
to the application State aid rules in the area of services of general economic interest  with a
special focus on aid in the field of social health and infrastructure.
