Methodology
A Master Class is a high-level event for professionals and officials involved in State aid. Its purpose is to review important developments in State aid case law and the European Commission’s decisional practice, assess their implications for Member States, and improve your national State aid measures.
The sessions combine presentations, case studies and discussions on practical issues. You will have ample opportunities to present your issues and discuss them with speakers and participants from other countries.
Review and Assessment
On the first day, you receive an expert review of the latest Court rulings and Commission decisions. Seminal judgments and decisions are analysed in depth. The analysis identifies how principles are applied in specific situations, delineates possible exceptions; and draws out the implications for State aid policies.
Problem-Solving
The second day is devoted to the participants’ presentations of cases and questions submitted in advance. State aid measures, problems, and other issues from your daily practice are discussed in full confidentiality. Participants receive advice on how to improve their measures and ensure their compatibility with the internal market.
Best Practices
On both days, the format of this advanced small-scale Master Class enables you to consider wider relevant issues in the field of State aid as well as exchange information and experiences with peers from other countries.
Master Class materials will be available for download after the event.
