concerning the review of the Community framework for State aid for research and development

COMMISSION COMMUNICATION

(2001/C 78/15)

(Text with EEA relevance)

The Community framework for State aid for research and development (1) states in paragraph 9 that (cid:145)the
Commission will review the framework in five years’ time. It may also decide to amend it at any time, in
cooperation with the Member States, should it prove necessary for reasons connected with competition
policy or to take account of other Community policies and international commitments(cid:146).

The Commission is currently reviewing the Community framework for State aid for research and devel-
opment. In order to allow time to complete this review the Commission has decided to continue to apply
the current framework until such time as new rules on State aid for research and development are
published or, at the latest, until 30 June 2002.

The Commission invites any interested party to submit comments on the issues to be taken into
consideration during this review. Such comments, to arrive within two months of the date of this
communication, should be addressed to:
