As the cost support involves aid from public funds for economic activities, the European Union’s State aid rules apply to cost support.
The maximum amount of State aid granted under the framework support programme in relation to the corona pandemic to a single company or companies belonging to the same group shall not exceed EUR 800,000.
When granting cost support, the State Treasury must ensure that the cost support granted to a single company, together with other subsidies already granted to the company under the support programme, does not exceed EUR 800,000. For this reason, the company must in its application present information on State aid related to the corona pandemic that has already been granted to the company if necessary.
