State Aid TCF Decisions
State Aid TCF Decisions
On 23 March 2022, the European Commission adopted a Temporary Crisis Framework (TCF) to enable Member
States to use the full flexibility foreseen under State aid rules to support the economy in the context of Russia’s
invasion of Ukraine.
The Temporary Crisis Framework complements the existing State aid toolbox with many other possibilities already
available to Member States, such as measures providing compensation to companies for damages directly suffered
due to exceptional circumstances, and measures outlined in the Commission Communication on energy market
developments.
The new framework enables Member States to (i) grant limited amounts of aid to companies affected by the
current crisis or by the related sanctions and countersanctions; (ii) ensure that sufficient liquidity remains available
to businesses; and (iii) compensate companies for the additional costs incurred due to exceptionally high gas and
electricity prices.
