State aid and its legal definition in the EU law
Original language description
The purpose of the present paper is to examine the policy considerations that may be supportive for the explanation of the current concept of State aid as perceived within the EU law. The working hypothesis is that the current definition of State aid does not reflect only "economic" or "legal" considerations, and therefore, that it may not be fully explained by taking exclusively those factors into account. Instead, we may imply that it is influenced by objectives and priorities set by the EU Commission in relation to the State aid rules, together with the problems that the Commission had faced in enforcing those rules. In order to analyze the notion of State aid we turn our attention to policy issues in addition to economic and purely legal ones. The tests devised to define the different criteria of State aid are constantly departing from the original conception of aid as any subsidy that distorts the "natural" functioning of the market. In the same vein, the tests developed later depart more and more from an economic explanation and from the "effects" doctrine. Due to the large discretion granted to the Commission when specifying the rules for interpretation and application of EU State aid law we are faced with different approach of the Commission to State aid rules in individual sectors of the EU Internal Market. The latter reflects mainly the economic specific of these sectors. As one of the most apparent examples we may quote the priorities set by the Commission for granting of State aids in the agrarian sector. The recent development of the State aid concept in agriculture is reflected by the new Agricultural Block Exemption Regulation (ABER) and Community Guidelines for State aid in the agriculture and forestry sector applied from 1 July 2014
