State aid: Commission approves public compensation for Brussels IRIS hospitals

The European Commission concluded on the 5 July 2016 that the public compensation granted to five Brussels public IRIS hospitals for deficits they had incurred in providing health and social services of general economic interest is in line with EU state aid rules.

The in-depth investigation was opened as a result of complaints received from two associations of Brussels private hospitals in October 2014.
