A Brief Guide To EUropean State Aid Law European Business Law & Practice, Vol 13

Despite severe criticism, the rules on state aid have been adopted in the EEA Agreement and the association agreements between the European Union (EU) and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and incorporated in the WTO Agreement on subsidies and equalization measures. As a result, international law practitioners must have a grasp on matters of state aid.

This book surveys the rules and regulations relating to state aid in the EU and their role in the EU's overall competition policy. It examines the provisions and implications of Articles 92 and 93 and covers both the substantive law and the procedural questions. Its comprehensiveness makes A Brief Guide to European State Aid Law a particularly useful introduction for practitioners and academics who may have limited experience in dealing with matters of state aid.
