EC STATE AID POLICY
Presider: Clive Stanbrook Stanbrook & Hooper,
Brussels
Panelists: Eleanor Fox New York University School
of Law, New York
Adinda Sinnaeve EC Commission, Brussels
Piet Jan Slot Leiden University, Leiden
MR. STANBROOK: Ladies and gentlemen, we will start the second
session. It is devoted to competition policy, state aid and state enterprises.
It gives me great pleasure to introduce to you Adinda Sinnaeve, whose
excellent paper is in your documentation.1 Thank you very much, Adinda,
and particularly for ending on such a topical note. It was a very valuable tour
d’horizon, with a huge amount of substance – the meat on which our
commentators can bite. Also thank you to Professor Eleanor Fox for her
excellent presentation.2
Professor Eleanor Fox’s comments3 show that the European Union’s
concern over the prospect of having healthy competitors for the purposes of
having healthy competition is a point of dispute that extends through
competition, properly so-called, into state aids as well.
That brings me to Professor Piet Jan Slot.
PROFESSOR SLOT: Thank you very much.
First of all, I would like to thank the organizers for inviting me and
compliment them on this wonderful conference attracting a large crowd. It is
always a great pleasure to be here.
Let me use my ten minutes – and I cannot speak as fast as Eleanor, so I
have to be very economical with my time – to cover a few points.
First of all, I underline and I share Adinda’s view that the Commission’s
state aid policy has come, indeed, a very, very long way from being an affair
very much between the Commission and the government concerned to a
matter laid down in regulations. It took the Commission a very long time to
accept that this was necessary.
