The European Commission endorsed on 15 December 2009 commitments from the Dutch authorities to change the existing social housing system to bring it into line with EU state aid rules. In particular, the Dutch authorities will ensure that state funding is not used for commercial activities and that housing is attributed in a transparent manner according to objective criteria. In addition, Commission has approved for the next ten years new aid of €750 million for social housing projects in declining urban areas. The Commission found the aid to be compatible with EU state aid rules on Services of General Economic Interest (SGEI). |
