State aid control and environmental protection
In its 2019 Communication on The European Green Deal, the Commission identified the revision of State aid guidelines as a key factor in supporting a cost-effective transition to climate neutrality by 2050 . The Energy and Environmental State aid guidelines (EEAG) were considered particularly important in this regard. This timely event will convene a high-level line-up of scholars and practitioners to discuss these draft revisions and their implications.
Presentations and expert commentary will be followed by an audience Q&A.
This event will be live-streamed and recorded.
