Welcome to the State aid website run by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

This site provides information on European Community State aids. It includes guidance produced by the State Aid Policy Unit in the DTI and links to other websites.

The DTI's State Aid Policy Unit provides advice on the State aid rules and procedures for all Government departments, agencies, local and regional bodies and devolved institutions providing aid to business. All notifications of aid are routed through the State Aid Policy Unit (the Department for Food and Rural Affairs and the Department for Transport, Local Government and Regions carry out the same function in respect of agricultural and transport aid respectively). The Unit leads on the development of State aid policy.
