Recital 36 a (new)
(36 a) Promoting European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) is a major priority of EU cohesion policy. Experience shows that in most cases public support granted to ETC projects does not involve State aid at all. In the cases involving State aid, the aid amounts involved are generally relatively small. As a result they can be considered having in general only a limited impact on competition and trade between Member States. This is why they should benefit from a favourable treatment under state aid rules. Under the General Block Exemption Regulation (GBER), support for SMEs in connection with the costs of ETC projects is already exempted from reporting requirements. Special provisions for regional aid for investments by undertakings of all sizes are also included in the Guidelines on regional State aid for 2014-2020 and in the regional aid section of the GBER. In the last years the Commission has gained significant experience in relation to aid measures aimed at the promotion of ETC projects. A further extension of the scope of aid measures allowed under the General Block Exemption Regulation could therefore be considered.
