Die Vergabe von Unionsbeihilfen

This work comprehensively deals with the law on the allocation of EU aid. For this purpose, it analyses the diverging conceptions of the term ‘EU aid’ as well as the applicability of art. 107 et seq. of the TFEU. Furthermore, it examines both the formal and substantive provisions of EU primary law in detail. Inter alia, the study emphasises the principle of the reservation of statutory powers, the EU’s financing competence, the market economy perspective and the principle of transparency. It highlights the agricultural sector and its particularities with regard to the market economy due to its historical and budgetary importance, while its second main part focuses on the secondary law on the agricultural sector.
