Covid-19 coronavirus update: European Commission State aid decisions Up-to-date as at 11/12/20

Under State aid rules, UK and EEA Member State governments may not generally provide selective assistance to businesses without prior approval from the

European Commission (EC). This includes assistance in the form of government direct grants, interest and tax reliefs, loans, guarantees, forbearance of existing

loan terms, export credit insurance and equity investment. If these measures are provided selectively and on terms that the market would not provide (eg to a borrower in financial difficulty), or that are not being provided on arm’s -length commercial terms, they qualify as State aid and require prior approval from the EC.

Transactions involving unapproved State aid are unenforceable. If an entity participates in/is a beneficiary of a scheme that is subsequently found to have involved unapproved State aid, it may be required to repay that aid – potentially affecting its credit risk and solvency.

The EC has adopted a ‘Temporary Framework’ to give national governments greater flexibility under the State aid rules to support their economies during the

Covid-19 outbreak. The Temporary Framework continues to require notification to and prior approval of specific aid measures by the EC. The EC has so far

approved most Covid-19-related aid schemes very rapidly – mostly in a matter of days. Once an aid scheme has received approval, the relevant government is

free to support businesses within the scope of the scheme. As at the end of October 2020, over 380 State aid measures had been notified and approved under

the Temporary Framework – amounting to around EUR3 trillion. For further information on the Temporary Framework, please see this note, our subsequent update, and the July and October editions of our monthly newsletter Antitrust in focus.

The table below provides an overview of the State aid decisions adopted by the EC. Except where indicated otherwise, each of these decisions has been

adopted under the Temporary Framework. The table is up-to-date as at 11 December 2020. For further information on the potential impact of Covid-19 on the

State aid issues relevant to your business, please speak to your usual A&O antitrust contact.
