The European Commission has launched a public consultation on the draft State aid Framework accompanying the Clean Industrial Deal (CISAF) until April 25, 2025. The CISAF is set to be adopted in the second quarter of 2025 and remain effective until December 31, 2030. This new framework aims to simplify green State aid rules and boost the competitiveness of EU industries by promoting green objectives while adopting a more pro-business approach. The Clean Industrial Deal replaces the Green Deal and emphasizes a combination of green objectives with a focus on economic growth, aiming to make decarbonisation a growth driver for European industries. It will be accompanied by a revised State aid framework that reflects the changed policy priorities and addresses criticisms of existing green State aid rules. The draft CISAF focuses on three key areas: the rollout of renewable energy, industrial decarbonisation, and clean technologies, allowing Member States to design State aid measures to support these sectors. It also introduces provisions to de-risk investments by private investors and attract foreign investments into the EU, widening the scope of aid recipients. The proposed framework aims to unlock investment opportunities for stakeholders by moving away from silo solutions and encouraging private sector involvement in green projects. Stakeholders have the opportunity to provide feedback on the draft CISAF until April 25, 2025, before its expected adoption and implementation until 2030.
