The European Commission has initiated a public consultation to gather feedback on proposed amendments to the Guidelines on regional State aid. The updates aim to align the guidelines with current socio-economic data and address challenges in Eastern EU regions bordering Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. The revised guidelines will determine eligible areas for regional aid from 2028-2034, with existing regional aid maps set to expire in December 2027. Interested parties, including national and regional authorities, are invited to submit comments by 30 September 2026. The Commission will discuss the draft in a multilateral meeting with Member States, targeting adoption by year-end to allow sufficient time for preparing new aid maps effective from 2028. The guidelines establish criteria for identifying regions qualifying for State aid under EU rules.
