Abstract

This article addresses the issue of whether EU State aid granted for the purposes of promoting culture and heritage conservation is subject to the prohibition of Article 107(1) TFEU and its derogations. Specifically, the article outlines the problem of “economic activity”, and hence being an “undertaking” insofar as regards bodies operating in the field of culture and heritage conservation (e.g. museums). It covers the European Commission’s approach thereto, together with its decisions made in the field of State aid, as well as the relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (particularly examining the impact of the MOTOE decision for the topic at issue). The article offers a critical assessment of the Commission’s approach, positing that it is not in line with Article 107(1) TFEU as it is currently interpreted by the Court, and is at odds with the Commission’s own 2016 Notice on the notion of State aid.
促进文化和遗产保护的国家援助:博物馆和其他文化机构作为欧盟国家援助的接受者
本文探讨了欧盟为促进文化和遗产保护而提供的国家援助是否受《欧盟运作条约》第 107(1)条及其减损条款的禁止。具体而言,文章概述了 "经济活动 "的问题,以及在文化和遗产保护领域开展活动的机构(如博物馆)是否属于 "企业 "的问题。文章介绍了欧盟委员会在这方面的做法及其在国家援助领域做出的决定,以及欧盟法院的相关判例法(特别是审查了 MOTOE 决定对相关主题的影响)。文章对欧盟委员会的方法进行了批判性评估,认为该方法不符合欧盟法院目前对《欧盟运作条约》第 107(1) 条的解释,也与欧盟委员会自己于 2016 年发布的关于国家援助概念的通知相悖。
