Companies in just transition zones: total revocation of aid if minimum investment or employment requirements are not met

This Order modifies the regulatory bases for aid targeting business projects and small investment projects in just transition zones (Orders TED/1240/2022 and TED/1239/2022). The main change establishes mechanisms for total revocation or proportional reduction of aid in case of non-compliance with investment or employment creation/maintenance requirements (art. 30.2 and 30.3). The regulation adapts to Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/2831 to ensure proper management of the ecological transition funds.

In 3 key points

  1. Total revocation of aid if minimum investment or employment requirements are not met (Art. 8.2, 8.3 and 8.4) (art. 30.2)
  2. Proportional reduction of aid in the event of partial investment or job creation (Art. 30.2) (art. 30.2)
  3. Adjustment of the employment component of the aid if jobs with special social security reductions have been used (Art. 30.2) (art. 30.2)

How it affects those involved

For companies receiving aid in just transition zones, the risk of losing funding increases with any deviation from commitments. If minimum investment or employment requirements are not met, the aid will be fully revoked (Art. 30.2). In the event of partial compliance, the aid will be reduced proportionally across both the investment and employment components, including adjustments if jobs with special social security reductions have been used (Art. 30.2 and 30.3).

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I only carry out part of the planned investment?
The investment component of the aid will be reduced by the same percentage as the decrease in the executed and verified investment (Art. 30.2).
Can I lose the entire grant for failing to meet employment targets?
Yes, the aid will be fully revoked if the minimum job creation requirements specified in the regulations are not met (Art. 30.2).
How does partial failure to meet job creation targets affect the aid?
The employment component of the final maximum aid will be reduced by the same percentage of non-compliance (Art. 30.2).
