Sir/Madam,

I am contacting you regarding the annual reporting obligations on State aid in accordance

with Articles 5 to 7 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 794/2004 (1), as amended by

Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/2282 (2).

(1) OJ L 140, 10.4.2004, p. 1.

(2) OJ L 325, 10.12.2015, p.1-180.

First, I would like to thank your authorities for the cooperation during the last reporting

exercise. The summary of the corresponding reported expenditures is published on the

Commission website:

http://ec.europa.eu/competition/state_aid/scoreboard/index_en.html

Additionally, the information provided by your authorities regarding expenditures on State

aid schemes is also included in the case information publicly available through the case

search application: https://competition-cases.ec.europa.eu/

The reporting should be completed through the State Aid Reporting Interactive 2 (SARI2)

application (3). As in previous years, to facilitate the exercise for your authorities, SARI2

contains pre-filled information on the State aid measures introduced before 2025 that have

not expired yet, as well as information regarding the State aid schemes, individual

applications within schemes and ad hoc aid for which Commission Decisions were adopted

in 2025 or fall under block-exemptions. If a case is missing in SARI2, please, send a

request to [email protected].

As in the previous year, reporting in SARI2 includes all sectors, including agriculture,

fisheries and aquaculture, with the exception of the railways sector. For the reporting on

compensations and aid to the rail sector, a template containing a comprehensive table is

enclosed to this letter. We invite you to submit your contribution to the functional mailbox

[email protected]. Please submit your contribution in Excel format.

Please, notice that as in the past year, the reporting related to State aid cases approved on

the basis of the Crisis Communications (4) for the financial sector has been integrated in

SARI2.

More detailed guidance for reporting (Reporting Instructions) is enclosed to this letter, and

uploaded into SARI2 in the form of short videos (5). Please note that a ‘bulk upload’

functionality is also present in SARI2. As for the other features of the tool, a complete

explanation of the bulk upload is provided in the video tutorials.

(3) The secured internet address of SARI2 is https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/competition/sari2.

(4) Communication on the application of State aid rules to measures taken in relation to financial institutions

in the context of the current global financial crisis ("2008 Banking Communication") (OJ C 270,

crisis: limitation of aid to the minimum necessary and safeguards against undue distortions of

institutions in the context of the financial crisis ("2010 Prolongation Communication") (OJ C 329,

aid rules to support measures in favour of financial institutions in the context of the financial crisis

("2011 Prolongation Communication") (OJ C 356, 6.12.2011, p. 7); Communication from the

Commission on the application, from 1 August 2013, of State aid rules to support measures in favour of

Pursuant to Article 6 of the Implementing Regulation, I would like to ask your authorities to

ensure that the complete annual report is submitted to DG Competition by

30 June 2026 by validation in SARI2 and provision of the railways reporting template.

Based on our analysis of the information provided in this reporting exercise, we would like

to draw your attention on the importance to report accurately on all expenditures and in a

timely manner.

DG Competition staff are happy to advise on specific questions and concerns, which can

be submitted to the functional mailbox [email protected].

Yours faithfully,

Inge BERNAERTS
