Economic activity: Offering goods or services on a given market and which could, at least in principle, be carried out by private actors in order to make profits. 3. Does the support distort or have the potential to distort competition? If the funding has the potential to strengthen the position of the organisation relative to other competitors then this criteria is likely to be met. The potential to distort competition does not need to be substantial or significant, and this criterion can apply to relatively small amounts of financial support and firms with little market share. 4. Does the support affect trade between Member States? Commission's interpretation of this is broad - it is sufficient that a product or service is tradeable between member states, even if the recipient of support does not itself export to other EU markets. This test is not met only in very limited circumstances. If all four questions are met State Aid applies. Additional information about de minimis aid previously received You are being considered for assistance under the De minimis Regulation (Regulation 1998/2006). This may allow an enterprise to receive up to 200,000 de minimis aid over any period of three fiscal years. To establish whether you are eligible to receive de minimis aid you must declare the full amount of de minimis aid which you have already been granted during the previous two fiscal years and the current fiscal year. Any assistance you may have received from a public body could potentially be de minimis aid. This might include assistance received from central, regional, or devolved governments, as well as from other agencies or local councils. You should have received a letter informing you if you were given assistance under the de minimis regulation. If you are unsure as to whether or not any public assistance you have received is de minimis aid, please contact the granting body to clarify. Page 14 of 15
