More information
The company is the entity we may want to finance. Only when this company has activities to make money, state aid rules apply. We call that having "an economic purpose".
State aid rules do not apply when we finance public bodies. A public body is for instance a state, a ministry, a governmental department or a municipality. They act as part of the government, not as businesses.
