	State Aid Newletter
		State aid can be a complex subject, but there is a surprising amount of scope available to support a wide range of bodies, provided some time is spent at the outset to determine the best fit.
		Aid paid as de minimis does not have to be linked to the eligible costs of a project in the way that aid under many approved state aid schemes does; the aid goes to the recipient firm directly, not towards a project.
		The Commission found that aid for a leisure pool in Dorsten, Germany, had no effect on trade between Member States (one of the 5 tests that must be met for aid to be a "state aid") as pool users would not travel more that 50km to use the facilities.

		To ensure consistency and equality of treatment between Member States in the application of the state aid rules to measures relating to direct business taxation and to ensure that Commission decisions are transparent and predictable.
		After examining the compatibility of tax aid with the common market, the Commission could not, however, authorise aid which proved to be in breach both of the rules laid down in the Treaty and of the provisions of secondary law on taxation, such as the code of conduct.

		While talk of adjusting the formula for distributing the aid has added an element of uncertainty, the prospect of more money is naturally welcome in communities that have been forced to ask residents in recent years to pay higher property taxes.
		Gulati was uncertain what kind of state aid Needham could count on, but said that, as in many other communities, residents have been left to shoulder the burden of higher education costs.
		State Senator Pamela Resor, an Acton Democrat whose district includes Marlborough, Hudson, Maynard, Stow, Southborough, Westborough, and parts of Sudbury and Northborough, said some communities may end up getting more state aid than they anticipated, which could ease some of the burden on local taxpayers.

		It follows that the Member States do not have the right to put these plans into effect if they have not received Commission authorisation, and that aid granted through plans which have not been notified is illegal and must be repaid.
		These texts have one common theme: to be acceptable, aid must not tend to preserve the status quo by maintaining over-capacity but must aim to restore long-term viability by resolving structural problems, including by reducing capacity; it should be degressive and proportional.

	Bird & BirdState Aid and Corporate Taxation: The fight against harmful tax competition
		The Commission therefore ordered the Member States concerned to discontinue the tax regimes immediately with respect to new entrants and to phase-out the schemes with regard to existing beneficiaries by 31 December 2010 at the latest.
		The Commission did not order the Member States concerned to recover the tax benefits granted so far because these Member States and the beneficiaries had legitimate reasons to believe that the special tax regimes were lawful: in 1984, the Commission had considered that the Belgian Co-ordination Centres regime did not constitute state aid.
		With regard to the cost plus method provided for by the revised scheme, the Commission found that its practical application does not amount to State aid because, unlike the original scheme, the Centre’s taxable income is calculated on the basis of all its operating costs, to which an appropriate mark-up rate is applied.
