The European Commission has launched today a public consultation inviting all interested parties to comment on its draft rules for land and multimodal transport replacing the Guidelines on State aid for railway undertakings ('Railway Guidelines') as well as on its new Transport Block-Exemption Regulation ('TBER').
Interested parties can respond to the public consultation until 20 September 2024.
The rules laid down in the TBER will be complementary to those set out in the new Land and Multimodal Transport Guidelines ('LMT Guidelines') which will replace the Railway Guidelines. In the LMT Guidelines, the Commission sets out the conditions under which it will assesses notified public support to sustainable land transport that is not block-exempted. Together, these two sets of rules will form an up-to date and comprehensive rulebook for the granting of State aid in the sustainable land transport sector.
