Response to EC Consultation on General Block Exemption Rule
Positions & consultation responses
In this response we call for adjustments to the EU State Aid Framework. We highlight concerns with the existing definitions of undertakings in difficulty and small and medium enterprises - which do not reflect specificities of private equity and venture capital backed businesses. We also call for specific adjustments to the risk finance aid framework.
