State Aid: New General Block exemption Regulation

European Commission adopted Regulation No 800/2008 of 6 August 2008 that consolidates the former block Exemption Regulations (except the de minimis one). Through Block Exemption Regulations the Member States are able to grant whole categories of state aid without first notifying them to the European Commission. The General Block Exemption provides for a simpler and coordinated text that makes state aid control simpler and quicker.
