La fotografia dello State Aid Scoreboard 2025 mostra una svolta chiara: meno aiuti di Stato, ma molto più mirati.

Nel 2024 la spesa cala del 17%, mentre quasi il 90% dei fondi va a priorità strategiche UE — transizione verde, energia, innovazione, sviluppo regionale e digitale. Un passaggio dagli interventi d’emergenza a investimenti strutturali che ridisegnano la politica industriale europea.

Grading (almost) finished for this exam session.

The highlights were two master thesis defences on
- EU coordination of #defence #procurement in the Member States
- the foreign direct investment (#fdi) regime in #belgium

A few more weeks before the new academic year starts, which leaves time to work on papers on
- the (lack of) #enforcement of #digital legislation in the EU
- #antitrust and #merger remedies in the #tech sector
- national enforcement of the EU #stateaid rules
