EU State Aid Control in a Dynamic Global Environment: Journal Artikel Time to Rethink the Interested Party Concept? Antonis Metaxas European State Aid Law Quarterly, Jahrgang 21 (2022), Ausgabe 1, Seite 43 - 53 EU State aid rules, as a normative framework for ensuring and preserving undistorted competition in an equitable Common Market, traditionally constitute fundamental provisions of the EU legal order. Within this framework, the constructive cooperation of the Member State concerned with the European Commission is important when assessing the compatibility of an aid measure with the internal market. Notwithstanding the bilateral character of the control procedure, the participation of interested parties enables the Commission to get a better insight regarding the contested aid measure in order to conclude whether the latter is aligned with the Union’s interests and policies. In a dynamic global environment, these interests and prevailing priorities are constantly redefined (climate change is a prominent example). To the extent that this broader, dynamic scope of EU State aid control is accepted, the question arises if State aid measures adopted by a Member State for supporting a given activity shall be assessed not only on the grounds provided for by the Member State concerned, the recipient of the aid or its direct competitors. In this context, the author claims that aspects of procedural efficiency must be held in balance with the reality of normative interdependence and the necessity of compatibility among EU policies. Procedurally, the question now arises if and to which extent the interested party concept must be broadened so that, for example, organisations of the civil society obtain a ‘locus standi’ in EU State aid control administrative procedures as well as in respective judicial proceedings before EU Courts.

2ND ESTAL PHD AWARD NOMINATIONS ∙ Minimisation of the Expected Cost of Error in EU State Aid Enforcement Journal Artikel Anna Nowak-Salles European State Aid Law Quarterly, Jahrgang 20 (2021), Ausgabe 3, Seite 359 - 369 This article, based on a thesis defended at the European University Institute in October 2020, pursues a twofold aim: first, to apply the error framework, which is an economic analysis tool used in competition law, to State aid, and to discover what determines the expected cost of error in this area. Second, to reflect on whether this expected cost might be reduced and to provide ideas where improvements might be sought. For this purpose, it verifies whether errors in State aid assessment at the Commission and the national level are rare, cheap and effectively corrected. On the basis of this analysis, which constitutes an original assessment of the reform of Procedural Regulation and of the GBER, it draws useful conclusions and formulates some recommendations as to how to increase accuracy at a reasonable cost. Keywords: State aid procedure; error in assessment; notification procedure; GBER.

Dual Remedy Against State Aid Decisions · Case C-135/16 Georgsmarienhütte · Annotation by Rene Brunner Journal Artikel Annotation on the Judgment of the Court of Justice (Grand Chamber) of 25 July 2018 in Case C-135/16 Georgsmarienhütte GmbH and Others v Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Rene Brunner European State Aid Law Quarterly, Jahrgang 18 (2019), Ausgabe 3, Seite 413 - 417 On 25 July 2018, the Court of Justice of the European Union handed down a ruling on the admissibility of the request for a preliminary ruling on the validity of a Commission Decision where the applicants in the main proceedings did not bring an action for annulment against that Decision before the General Court. The judgment Georgsmarienhütte re-evaluates the interrelationship between the action for annulment and the preliminary reference procedure and is, in essence, a reiteration of the TWD doctrine established already in 1994. Keywords: Action for annulment; Preliminary ruling procedure; Dual remedy; Parallel proceedings; National courts; TWD doctrine.
