The Winter Master Class on “State Aid Uncovered” was a resounding success, with participants actively engaging through thoughtful questions, lively discussions, and networking.

On 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏, we explored the Concept of State Aid and Exceptions for State Aid, analyzing recent judgments, Commission decisions, and practical methodologies such as MEIP/MEOP, funding gap, and compensation for damage. The sessions offered valuable insights into the complex conditions under which public measures may or may not qualify as State Aid.

𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐 featured an interactive Case Analysis and Advice session, where participants received one-on-one guidance from Prof. Dr. Phedon Nicolaides. Practical solutions to real-world challenges were identified, bringing the Master Class to a meaningful conclusion during the final discussion.

We thank Prof. Dr. Phedon Nicolaides for his exceptional expertise and all participants for their enthusiasm and contributions. We look forward to seeing you at our next event!

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗶𝗱 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴 by Phedon Nicolaides is 𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗪!

-Cross-Border Cumulation of State Aid -

🔍 In our latest analysis, we dive deep into the complexities of cross-border cumulation of State aid, focusing on the Swedish and Danish mechanisms for biomethane aid schemes. This post explores the Commission's efforts to ensure that overcompensation is avoided in the context of international trade and aid granted in multiple Member States.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀:

1️⃣ Introduction: The Commission addresses the issue of cross-border cumulation of State aid, especially concerning the Swedish tax exemption for biogas and the Danish production aid. These mechanisms must be assessed to avoid overcompensation when biogas is traded across borders.

2️⃣ The Swedish Test and Import Prices: The Swedish test ensures that the price of biogas, even with the tax exemption, remains higher than natural gas. The price on the Swedish market is linked to the import price, taking into account transport costs and the price paid to the Danish producer.

3️⃣ Concerns Over Overcompensation: Stakeholders like Landwärme and Eurogas raised concerns that the cumulation of multiple aid schemes could lead to overcompensation. The Commission assesses these risks by combining Swedish and Danish overcompensation tests.

4️⃣ Danish and Swedish Mechanisms: The Danish test already incorporates potential extra revenues, such as the sale of GOs (Guarantees of Origin), and considers cross-border trade. The Swedish test also includes imported biogas, ensuring that aid granted in other countries is accounted for.

5️⃣ The Commission’s Conclusion: The Commission confirms that the combined Swedish and Danish tests effectively prevent overcompensation. Aid schemes in both countries complement each other, ensuring compliance with State aid rules.

Out Now! Der Begriff „Grundzüge der Planung“ im Bauplanungs- und Raumordnungsrecht

Sind Sie im Bereich Bau- und Raumordnung tätig oder interessieren sich für die rechtlichen Grundlagen der Planungsprozesse? Dann ist dieses Buch ein Muss!

Der Begriff „Grundzüge der Planung“ ist von zentraler Bedeutung im Bauplanungs- und Raumordnungsrecht. Er lässt sich in zahlreichen Vorschriften des Baugesetzbuchs, des Raumordnungsgesetzes und der Landesplanungsgesetze finden. Die Frage, ob die Grundzüge der Planung berührt sind, ist von großer Relevanz für die Abweichung oder Änderung von Plänen. Die Arbeit entwickelt unter umfassender Auswertung der Rechtsprechung und Literatur ein Begriffsverständnis des Berührens der Grundzüge der Planung für die jeweiligen Vorschriften, in denen die Voraussetzung verwendet wird. Darüber hinaus wird nach einem normübergreifenden Begriffsverständnis gesucht und der Frage nachgegangen, ob die Voraussetzung in den jeweiligen Vorschriften aus verfassungs- oder unionsrechtlichen Gründen unabdingbar ist.

-Compensation for Non-payment of State Aid Can Constitute State Aid-

🔍 This article delves into the intricate relationship between compensation claims and State aid within the EU legal framework. Recent judgments, including European Food and Others v Commission, highlight how damages awarded for repealed policies can constitute unlawful State aid, emphasizing the supremacy of EU law over international arbitration rulings.

1️⃣ Introduction
Investors frequently ask whether they can claim damages when promised State aid is revoked. Recent EU case law clarifies that such claims often fall under the scope of State aid, particularly when tied to public policy changes.

2️⃣ The Situation
Romania’s early repeal of tax incentives before joining the EU led to arbitration awards for affected investors under the Romania-Sweden Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT). The EU Commission classified these awards as unlawful State aid, a stance upheld in subsequent rulings by the General Court and the Court of Justice.

3️⃣ Assessing the Presence of State Aid
The judgments reaffirmed that compensations linked to repealed State aid policies constitute an economic advantage and are selective in nature, as they favor specific investors. Additionally, arbitration awards granted under intra-EU BITs are incompatible with EU law.

4️⃣ Compatibility with EU Law
Key principles, such as the supremacy of EU law and the prohibition of selective advantages, were pivotal in these rulings. The courts dismissed claims that these awards merely compensated for losses, asserting that they reinforced previously unlawful aid schemes.

5️⃣ Conclusions
These rulings send a clear message: EU Member States cannot use arbitration mechanisms to bypass State aid rules. This strengthens the consistency of EU policy and ensures fair competition across the internal market.

📣 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗔𝗶𝗱 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗯𝘆 𝗣𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗪!

-i) Compensation Can Be State Aid ii) Failure to Act-

1️⃣ Introduction
This blog delves into two critical judgments: one addressing the classification of compensation as State aid and another concerning the Commission's failure to act on a complaint. The latter case is particularly noteworthy as it represents one of the rare instances where the Court of Justice upheld a claim of Commission inaction under Article 265 TFEU in State aid matters.

2️⃣ The Situation
The first case involves JCDecaux, which appealed a General Court decision upholding the European Commission's classification of compensation for early contract termination as incompatible State aid. In the second case, the General Court found the Commission had failed to act on a complaint alleging unlawful aid granted by the Netherlands to electric net fishing trawlers, marking a rare infringement of Article 265 TFEU in the field of State aid.

3️⃣ Assessing the Presence of State Aid
In the JCDecaux case, the Court of Justice clarified that compensation does not automatically exclude a measure from being classified as State aid under Article 107(1) TFEU. It emphasized the lack of objective evidence from the City of Brussels to justify the compensation mechanism or assess the alleged losses, leading to the conclusion that JCDecaux received an undue economic advantage.

4️⃣ Compatibility with EU Law
In the second case, the General Court scrutinized the Commission's obligation under Regulation 2015/1589 to investigate complaints without undue delay. The Court held that the Commission had sufficient information to decide on the alleged unlawful aid but failed to act as required, violating its procedural obligations. While it could not order the Commission to act directly, the judgment reinforced the accountability mechanisms for upholding the integrity of State aid control.

5️⃣ Conclusions
These cases underscore the nuances of compensation as State aid and the Commission's responsibilities in responding to complaints. They highlight the EU's commitment to ensuring procedural rigor and the effectiveness of its State aid framework. The judgments also serve as a reminder of the limits of Member States' and the Commission's discretion in implementing and overseeing aid measures.

- Public Funding of Healthcare Services Based on the Principle of Social Solidarity Is not State Aid -

1️⃣ Introduction
In response to a complaint by the Medical Chamber of Slovenia, the European Commission recently ruled that public funding of healthcare providers in Slovenia does not constitute State aid under Article 107(1) TFEU. This decision clarifies how the principles of solidarity, universality, and regulation in the Slovenian healthcare system render public healthcare services non-economic in nature.

2️⃣ The Situation
Slovenia’s healthcare system is built on a constitutional right to healthcare and is regulated by laws such as the Health Care and Health Insurance Act and the Health Services Act. Public healthcare providers (PHIs) and private concession holders deliver healthcare funded by mandatory social security contributions. Additional funding comes from complementary health insurance, which aligns closely with public interest and solidarity principles.

3️⃣ Assessing the Presence of State Aid
The Commission determined that PHIs do not qualify as undertakings when providing public healthcare services due to:
- Compulsory affiliation and universal coverage.
- Financing through mandatory contributions, independent of individual health risks.
- A social objective ensuring equal access to healthcare.
- Comprehensive regulation and oversight by public authorities.
- Limited or no out-of-pocket payments by patients.

4️⃣ Compatibility with EU Law
Even with private concession holders operating within the system, limited competition on quality or waiting times does not undermine the non-economic nature of the public healthcare scheme. To prevent cross-subsidization of commercial activities by PHIs, Slovenia enforces strict account separation and auditing requirements under national laws such as ZPFOLERD-1.

5️⃣ Conclusions
The decision highlights the importance of solidarity-based healthcare systems and account separation for commercial activities. It underscores that public healthcare funding can coexist with limited competition without breaching State aid rules, provided transparency and compliance safeguards are in place.
