摘要
Sustainability continues to gain traction as an important principle to be factored into competition law analysis, across antitrust, merger control and State aid. This article provides an overview of the mechanisms that are currently being introduced (and those already in place), to pursue sustainability objectives in the EU State aid framework. While the article focuses on the different aspects of the EU State aid rulebook, the analysis takes place against a broader international backdrop, with the US Inflation Reduction Act’s subsidies being a prime example of non-EU funding in the race to the ‘green transition’. As times have changed, so has the EU’s approach to State aid policy, and what comes out of the analysis of the constantly developing framework for sustainable State aid, is a gradual but clear convergence towards the incorporation of sustainability considerations into subsidies regulation, at the level of both legislative initiatives and judicial interpretation by the Court of Justice of the EU. While this is a development broadly in the right direction, the article points out the geopolitical risks associated with an inadvertent green subsidies war, as well as the risk – within the EU itself – of amplifying existing economic inequalities, due to the playing field being tilted in favour of Member States with deeper pockets.
