The final issue for 2019 of the European State Aid Law Quarterly (EStAL) is now available. The Articles section of issue 4/2019 covers a variety of topics: an analysis of the standard of proof in fiscal State aid in light of new case law, the development of the burden of proof in MEOP cases, reflections of the role of presumptions and the burden of proof in recent State aid cases, a discussion on the ambiguities in State aid rules on RDI, a closer look at the links between special charges, free movement and State aid, and an overview of the CJEU’s interpretation of the concept of ‘State resources’.

EStAL 4/2019 continues with two Opinions on the Commission’s new Recovery Notice – by Donzelli and Blockx, and a third one on the definition of SMEs.
