The European Commission on Monday adopted an amendment to the State Aid Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework, extending relevant state aid rules by six months, to spur flexibility in grappling with soaring energy prices caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
"Member states can maintain their support schemes to cover the upcoming winter heating period as a safety net in case certain companies continue to be affected by the economic disturbance" caused by the conflict, the Commission said in a statement.
Following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the EU introduced the State aid Temporary Crisis Framework in March 2022 to alleviate the repercussions of the conflict on the bloc's economy.
Since its inception, the framework has undergone two amendments in July and October 2022 respectively. In March 2023, it was replaced by the State aid Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework, enabling EU member states to provide timely, targeted, and proportionate support to businesses and sectors in need.
The measures outlined within it were slated to be phased out by the end of December this year. With the latest amendment, the Commission prolonged the limited aid until June 30, 2024. Aid to compensate for high energy prices was also prolonged by six months until the end of June next year, according to the statement.
