29/08/2022 (Agence Europe) – On Monday 29 August the European Commission launched an evaluation of the State aid rules for assessing State guarantees on loans (‘Guarantee Notice’). The initiative consists of a public consultation to gather views on the Guarantee Notice from all interested parties and an expert consultation to seek feedback from interested parties directly involved in or affected by the provision of State guarantees. The Commission also is formulating: - a request for information to Member States in order to gather consolidated data and information about the practical use of the Guarantee Notice; - a Call for Evidence seeking feedback on the main aims of the evaluation, its scope and context.
