Brussels, 13 February 2023
The European Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, an amendment to the Netherlands’ map for granting regional aid from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2027, within the framework of the revised Regional aid Guidelines.
On 27 January 2022, the Commission approved the 2022-2027 regional aid map for the Netherlands. On 30 November 2022, the Commission approved the Netherlands’ Territorial Just Transition Plan that identifies the territories eligible for support from the Just Transition Fund (‘JTF’)
In order to further address regional disparities, the amendment to the Netherland’s regional aid map approved today designates new so-called non-predefined ‘c’ areas consisting of parts of Noord-Holland, Zeeland, Noord-Brabant and Limburg that have been identified as territories eligible for support under the JTF. In all of those areas, the maximum aid intensity for large enterprises is 10%.
The non-confidential version of today’s decision will be made available under the case number SA.105305 (in the State Aid Register) on the Commission’s competition website. New publications of state aid decisions on the internet and in the Official Journal are listed in the Competition Weekly e-News.
