Subject:
Your application for access to documents – EASE 2025/0391
Dear Mr Pigeon,
I refer to your request of 23/01/2025 for access to documents, registered the same day
under the above-mentioned reference.
You request access to the annexes to the "Study on energy subsidies and other government
interventions in the European Union ".
With regard to your requests, I would like to inform you we identified the following
documents that corresponds to your request:
- Annex 2 – Country data controls.
- Annex 3 – Member States fact sheets.
- Annex 4 – The subsidy inventory database.
The requested documents are fully available and attached to this letter. As all documents
will be converted automatically into PDF documents, please contact
ENER-ACCES-
xxxxxxxxx@xx.xxxxxx.xx if you would like to receive the original version.
Please note that all three documents are based on a study carried out by external experts. It
does not reflect the position of the Commission and cannot be quoted as such. In addition, the
data were collected by external contractors, and they are responsible for the completeness,
integrity, and accuracy of the subsidy database.
Please also note that the database reflects the fiscal impact of the identified subsidy
measures in each Member State. Due to differences in national policies and accounting
methods, these are not fully comparable across Member States or across different time
periods. This is especially important for subsidies based on tax measures, where both the
taxable base and the effective tax rate could be different between Member States and over
time.
