Public bodies must also play by competition rules
Competition law does not apply to companies alone. Public and semi-public bodies are also subject to these rules, particularly when offering products or services or working with market parties. You need to know what is allowed and where the scope lies.
State aid: limits and opportunities
When a public body grants funding or other advantages to market parties, state aid rules come into play. These rules set clear boundaries, but also create opportunities.
Within these frameworks, there is often room to support projects and make them happen. The key is knowing how to use that space effectively.
