The European Commission has approved under EC Treaty state aid rules the regional aid map covering the period 2007-2013 for Germany. This decision forms part of a wider exercise to review regional aid systems in all Member States in accordance with the new Regional Aid Guidelines (see IP/05/1653 and MEMO/05/491) adopted in December 2005. The new guidelines aim at re-focussing regional aid on the most deprived regions of the enlarged EU, while allowing to improve competitiveness and to provide for a smooth transition. The maps of twelve other Member States have already been approved by the Commission (Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Luxembourg, Malta, Czech Republic, Ireland and Lithuania - see IP/06/1176, IP/06/1393 and IP/06/1451).
