"It is precisely by strict implementation of State aid rules, and this case is indeed a very interesting one for all of us – apart from those parties involved – because, as your question suggests, if every Member State were to start competing with the others to see who can give more money to a company, we would have something that is bad for the Member States, that is not good for consumers, and not good for taxpayers’ money.
The guarantee I can give you is that the Commission will be strict in the implementation of State aid rules, not because we are fundamentalists as regards the market or competition rules, but because we believe it is important to have a strict Community approach and to have a level playing field for all companies and all Member States – the big and the small, and the rich and the not-so-rich. That is the best way to ensure that we remain fair in our Union."@en1
