The Communication highlights the in-built ability of competition policy to adapt to new market circumstances, policy priorities and customer needs: for example, on the same day the Communication was adopted, the Commission adopted the sixth amendment to the State aid Temporary Framework, which will enable Member States to provide targeted support to companies during the coronavirus crisis. Furthermore, the Commission is currently pursuing a review of competition policy tools to make sure all competition instruments (merger, antitrust and State aid control) remain fit for purpose, as well as complement its existing toolbox.
