Dear Competition,

1. On the subject of the subsidies obligations agreed with the UK in the recent Trade and Cooperation Agreement (“EU-UK Trade Agreement”) please confirm whether:

a. the transparency requirements are a mandatory compliance requirement in the EU-UK Trade Agreement?

b. the requirements are met within the EU by funding bodies publishing information on the State aid Reporting Interactive website?

Yours faithfully,

Waltier Anson

Dear Sir,

 

We refer to your e-mail dated 07/06/2021 in which you enquire about the
transparency requirements in the Subsidy Control chapter of the EU-UK
Trade and Cooperation Agreement (Chapter 3 of Title XI). These
transparency requirements are notably detailed in Article 369. Just like
any other articles of the  EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the
requirements of Chapter 3 of Title XI are binding on both Parties, namely
the EU and the UK.

 

The European Union is publishing the information requested by Article 369
notably, but not only, on its [1]State Aid Transparency registry.

 

Yours faithfully,

Eddy De Smijter

Head of Unit
