Definīcija:Direct or indirect subsidies by Member States to home industries. They may take the form of grants, tax concessions and cheap loans. State aids, which generally have to be notified to the Commission, may lead to artificial price levels which distort free competition within the Community. They are banned by the Treaty of Rome unless authorized, for example, where they are of EC-wide benefit or necessary to relieve social or economic hardship (1). Save as otherwise provided in this Treaty, any aid granted by a Member State or through State resources in any form whatsoever which distorts or threatens to distort competition by favouring certain undertakings or the production of certain goods shall, in so far as it affects trade between Member States, be incompatible with the common market (2).
