Consultation on EU state aid rules for RD and innovation

Enterprise Europe Brussels invites citizens, research organisations and companies to participate in this public consultation.

Contributions are particularly sought from the national authorities dealing with state aid for R&D&I and from research organisations.

By way of a questionnaire, the Commission invites Member States and interested parties to submit their input and views on the review of the EU state aid rules for supporting R&D&I ahead of the expiry of the R&D&I Framework end of 2013. The Commission is in particular interested in statistical information and qualitative comments on national R&D&I policies at large and on national state aid support measures for R&D&I in particular.

On the basis of the replies received to the published questionnaire, the Commission will prepare a first draft of a revised R&D&I Framework which it expects to publish in the 2nd half of 2012 for consultation.

Enterprise Europe Brussels reminds that the consultation is open from 20.12.2011 to 24.02.2012 at the following address:
