The European Commission has approved, under EU state aid rules, an amendment to Latvia's map for granting regional aid from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2027, within the framework of the revised regional aid guidelines.

On 15 December 2021, the Commission approved the 2022-2027 regional aid map for Latvia. On 25 November 2022, the Commission approved Latvia's Territorial Just Transition Plan that identifies the territories eligible for support from the Just Transition Fund (‘JTF'). The territories are located in regions eligible for aid under Article 107(3)(a) Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (so-called 'a' areas), which allows aid to support the most disadvantaged regions.

In order to further address regional disparities, the amendment to Latvia's regional aid map approved today enables higher maximum amounts of aid to investments in those territories. The maximum amounts of aid will increase from 40% to 50% of the eligible investment costs in the regions of Kurzeme, Latgale, Vidzeme and Zemgale.

The non-confidential version of today's decision will be made available under the case number SA.105992 in the State Aid Register on the Commission's competition website. New publications of state aid decisions on the internet and in the Official Journal are listed in the Competition Weekly e-News.
