AMENDMENT TO STATE AID RULES

The European Commission amended State Aid rules to allow NGOs to request a review of State Aid decisions that relate to EU environmental law. This new review mechanism comes in light of the findings of the Aarhus Convention Compliance Committee in case ACCC/C/2015/128.
