Complaint form

The services of the Commission are receiving an increasing number of complaints about the possible granting of unlawful and incompatible State aid. Frequently, such complaints are initially presented in rather general terms which makes it difficult to identify the competition issues concerned and the seriousness of the complaint, and leads to substantial delays in the treatment of complaints.

State aid complaint form

This complaint form is intended to assist complainants by identifying the information necessary for the Commission to be able to follow up complaints effectively. This should facilitate the treatment of complaints both by the Commission and by the Member States.

Within the Commission, State aid complaints are treated on a decentralised basis by the departments responsible. In the case of doubt, the complaint may be submitted to the Secretary General of the Commission who will determine which department should deal with the complaint.
