Did the Welsh Government submit a response to the European Commission's recent consultation on State aid rules governing regional investment aid?
The Welsh Government is taking State aid policy forward in the context of overall negotiations on Brexit. We are working closely with other UK administrations to press for ongoing alignment with EU State aid rules.
For this reason and in liaison with the UK Government, Scottish Government and Northern Ireland Executive, we did not submit a response to the European Commission's recent consultation on State aid rules governing regional investment aid on the basis that this may be counterproductive.
There will be further opportunities to influence European competition policy, including State aid rules, ideally as an ongoing member of the European Union.
