Time's up – Procedural Delays in State Aid Cases journal article An Overview of the Case Law Ketill Einarsson, Mihalis Kekelekis European State Aid Law Quarterly, Volume 14 (2015), Issue 1, Page 130 - 142 This Article deals with procedural delays encountered during the preliminary examination of State aid cases. The main emphasis is on delays in notified cases as well as complaints, and a comparison is drawn. Some light is also shed on delays in existing aid procedures. The Article draws from extensive case law which demonstrates both the importance of adopting decisions within a reasonable time as well as the extent to which procedural delays can be justified. Finally, in light of the initiatives brought about by the State Aid Modernisation, the article provides some suggestions on how to improve the decision-making process in State aid cases and put an end to long procedural delays.
