book captures the direct knowledge and experience of twenty-six current and
former Commission State aid litigators, offering detailed ‘insider’ analysis
of EC State aid court cases, as well as related internal legal issues, between
1994 and 2008. The book brings together both legal and economic analysis, with
detailed reflections on aspects of both substantive legal rules and procedural
law. It also offers, over and above the specific interest of the contributions
it contains, invaluable insights into the working methods of the Commission
Legal Service.
This collaborative work was conceived and realized by its authors as a mark of
recognition, and a gesture of respect and friendship, for Francisco
Santaolalla, on the occasion of his retirement from the Commission after
fourteen years’ service as Director of the State aid team.
Among the many legal and economic forces affecting State aid litigation, the
authors focus on such factors as the following:;
-
exports;
-
private investment;
-
role of economic analysis;
-
ecotaxes;
-
privatization;
-
remedies;
-
existing aid;
-
third parties;
-
actions against State aid decisions;
-
national court decisions;
-
fiscal discipline; and
-
WTO subsidies law.
In illuminating the underlying issues, and describing how they are handled by
the Commission Legal Service, the authors shed light on the likely future
development of State aid law. The book will be of particular interest to
antitrust practitioners as well as academics.
