HOW TO TALK TO THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION: A PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON THE FUNCTIONING OF THE SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURE FOR TREATMENT OF CERTAIN TYPES OF STATE AID

The European Commission has launched a public consultation on the Commission Notice on a Simplified Procedure for the Treatment of Certain Types of Aid. This Notice sets out the conditions under which the Commission can follow a simplified procedure for assessing certain types of state aid cases. The Commission consultation seeks feedback from public authorities, citizens, companies, organisations and other interested parties on their experience with the implementation of the Notice.

In light of the replies, the Commission intends to carry out a review to take account of feedback received. Comments are invited until 6 April 2016. Further information as well as the full text of the questionnaire is available on the consultation page.
