Commission Decision on State Aid

A Commission Decision on State Aid refers to a ruling by the European Commission regarding government financial support to businesses. This decision assesses whether such aid distorts competition in the European Union's single market. If the support gives an unfair advantage to certain companies, it might be deemed illegal. The Commission aims to ensure fair competition, innovation, and growth across EU countries. If a decision finds the aid justified, it can be approved; otherwise, countries may be required to recover the funds given to avoid harming competition.
