Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Subsidy Control (Subsidies and Schemes of Interest or Particular Interest) Regulations 2022 (“the 2022 Regulations”). In particular, regulation 2 amends regulation 3(2) of the 2022 Regulations by increasing the threshold (in non-sensitive sectors) above which subsidies (individually or cumulating with other related subsidies) are deemed subsidies of particular interest, from £10 million to £25 million. A subsidy scheme that allows one or more subsidies of particular interest to be given under it is deemed a scheme of particular interest. Section 52(1)(a) of the Subsidy Control Act 2022 requires a public authority to refer subsidies or subsidy schemes of particular interest to the Competition and Markets Authority before they are given or made, respectively.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no significant impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen. An Explanatory Memorandum is published alongside this instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
