The general block exemption regulation (GBER) provides state aid cover for categories of aid which are exempt from the European Commission’s (EC) formal notification process. The GBER allows member states to provide support without going through the EC’s full notification process. However, aid givers must register the award of aid, or the scheme under which it operates, within 20 working days of its start.
