On 27 March 2014, the European Commission concluded that a German scheme providing direct grants for the development and revitalisation of land does not constitute state aid. The Commission found that the development of land by local authorities is part of their public tasks and therefore outside the realm of EU state aid rules. The German land development scheme is aimed at making land ready to build, ensuring that the territory is connected to utility (water, gas, sewage and electricity) and transport networks (rail and roads). It does not concern the construction of buildings or the management of land. |
