State Aid control
State aid Scoreboard and other publications
Scoreboard: Report on State aid granted by Member States
The Scoreboard is the Commission's benchmarking instrument for State aid. It was started in July 2001 to provide a transparent and publicly accessible source of information on the overall State aid situation in each of the EU Member States and on the Commission's current State aid control activities. Until 2011, two editions were published each year: the spring edition focused on selected topics of State aid and the autumn update included State aid expenditure from the previous calendar year. Since 2012 only one edition of the Scoreboard is published each year
