State aid reform: Some reflections on the need to revise the notice on guarantees

Article Abstract:

The Commission intends to go in for a comprehensive reform of EC State aid rules and among the texts which the Commission is planning to revise is its Notice on State aid in the form of guarantees. There are some flaws and shortfalls in the current Notice and so it is submitted that the Commission should produce a new text more in line with the fundamental principles of EC State aid law developed in the jurisprudence of the Community Courts.
