State Aid Fitness Check

The State Aid Fitness Check is an evaluation process by the European Commission to assess whether existing rules on government support to businesses (state aid) are effective, relevant, and efficient. It aims to ensure that such aid promotes competition while preventing excessive government intervention that might distort the market. By reviewing these rules, the Commission seeks to streamline procedures, identify areas for improvement, and make sure that state aid aligns with EU goals, such as fostering innovation and sustainable growth, ultimately benefiting both businesses and consumers in the European Union.
