Press Release: State aid: Commission approves Maltese regional aid map 2014-2020

On 7 May 2014, the European Commission approved under EU state aid rules Malta's map for granting state aid between 2014 and 2020 within the framework of the Commission's new regional aid guidelines adopted in June 2013. The new guidelines set out the conditions under which Member States could grant state aid to businesses for regional development purposes. They aimed to foster growth and greater cohesion in the Single Market.

Malta's new map would be in force between 1 July 2014 and 31 December 2020. It would define the entire territory of Malta as eligible for state aid under this provision.
