Targeted review of the General Block Exemption Regulations (State aid): extension to ports and airports
Despite the aviation sector’s substantial climate impact, the European Commission proposes to apply a block exemption from State aid rules for investments aid to airports with up to 3 million passengers annually.

T&E recommends that this block exemption for investment aid to aviation should be withdrawn.
