The assessment of tax aid suffers from the lack of a coherent and functionally consistent approach, evidenced by the field’s often intransparent and casuistic solutions. The balance between state aid law and tax law is still not right. This contribution uses the occasion of some recent developments, the GC’s Santander judgment and the attention that the so-called LuxLeaks affair has received, for a quick tour through the most pressing jobsites in tax aid assessment and formulates proposals to tackle at least one of them – the blurred line betweeEn the selectivity and advantage criteria. In particular, the Santander judgment leads the way to a more meaningful application of these criteria and it is suggested that particularly the Commission utilize it for its long-promised overhaul of the Business Taxation Notice. Keywords: Taxation, LuxLeaks, Selectivity, Santander

On behalf of the EStAL journal, the members of its editorial board and Lexxion publishers, represented today by Wolfgang Andreae, I warmly thank Sir Jeremy Lever for his inspiring lecture.

The applicability of the private investor test (PIT) to tax measures has been a hotly debated issue especially since the GC’s 2009 ruling in EDF. In EDF, the GC had accepted that at least some types of tax advantages (there: tax breaks for a publicly owned undertaking) might be checked against a return on investment logic. That finding had, also in this journal, been greeted with enthusiasm by a considerable part of the State aid community and especially among practition

EStAL 3|2010 Editorial 577 Looking at politicians and stakeholders in Europe and internationally, one may wonder whether there is any common ground as to lessons to be learned from the persisting financial and economic crisis: Now that the initial shock is over, transnational regulatory norms come about slowly and half-heartedly.

EStAL 1|2010 Editorial 1 The State aid community waves goodbye to outgoing Commissioner Neelie Kroes, now poised to take on the challenges of the information society, and welcomes her successor Joaquín Almunia Amann. Let’s stop for a moment to appreciate this event and the perspectives it holds for State aid control. Some initial scepticism greeted Mrs. Kroes when she took office, yet the management record for the last five years is actually very good: Comprehensive
