determining whether any new de minimis aid to the new or the acquiring undertaking exceeds the relevant threshold. De minimis aid
lawfully granted before the merger or acquisition shall remain lawful.

GUIDANCE
for the Declaration in case of de minimis aid
The gross grant equivalent of de minimis aid granted on the basis of the Commission Regulation
1407/2013/EU to one and the same undertaking defined in the Article 2(2) of the Commission
Regulation 1407/2013/EU in the current fiscal year and during the two preceding fiscal years may not
exceed the threshold of EUR 200,000 per Member State , in the case of undertakings performing road
freight transport for compensation EUR 100,000, taking into account the rules regarding mergers and
splittings according to the Article 3(8)-(9) of the Commission Regulation 1407/2013/EU.
What is the gross grant equivalent?
̶ The aid to be paid in several instalments over the course of a year must be discounted to the
value valid at the date of granting by applying the reference rate valid at the date of granting.
In what cases are the applicant and another undertaking considered as one and the same
undertaking ‘single undertaking’?
̶ one undertaking has the majority of the shareholders’ or members’ voting rights in another
undertaking, or
̶ one undertaking has the right to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the
administrative, management or supervisory body of another undertaking, or
̶ one undertaking has the right to exercise a dominant influence over another undertaking
pursuant to a contract entered into between the undertakings or to a provision in its
memorandum or articles of association, or
̶ one undertaking, which is a shareholder in or member of another undertaking, controls alone,
pursuant to an agreement with other shareholders in or members of the undertaking, a majority
of shareholders’ or members voting rights in that undertaking.
̶ If the applicant has any of the above connections through one or more other undertakings, they
must be considered as one and the same undertaking.
In which cases should the rules of merger or splitting be applied for the applicant?
̶ In the event that the merger or splitting took place during the current fiscal year and the two
previous fiscal years.
̶ All prior de minimis aid granted to undertakings in the merger must be included in the de
minimis aid framework of the applicant resulting from the merger, or in the de minimis aid
framework of the legal successor applicant. De minimis aid lawfully granted before the merger
or acquisition shall remain lawful.
̶ If one undertaking splits into two or more separate undertakings, de minimis aid granted prior
to the split shall be allocated to the undertaking that benefited from it, which is in principle the
undertaking taking over the activities for which the de minimis aid was used. If such an
allocation is not possible, the de minimis aid shall be allocated proportionately on the basis of
the book value of the equity capital on the date of the splitting between the undertakings in the
splitting.
̶ In order to determine whether the new de minimis aid exceeds the applicable threshold, de
minimis aid granted to undertakings that are considered to be one and the same undertaking
with the applicant must also be taken into account.

Cumulation
̶ De minimis aid granted on the basis of the Commission Regulation 1407/2013/EU can be
cumulated with other de minimis aid granted on the basis of other Commission Regulations on
de minimis aid [e.g. de minimis aid for agriculture granted on the basis of the Commission
Regulation (EU) No 1408/2013 of 18 December 2013 on the application of Articles 107 and 108
of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to de minimis aid in the agriculture
sector (OJ L 352/9, 24.12.2013)] up to the threshold of EUR 200,000 and EUR 100,000 in the
case of companies performing commercial road freight transport for compensation, defined in
the Commission Regulation 1407/2013/EU.
For example If an undertaking engaged exclusively in agricultural and road freight
transport activities is granted with de minimis aid for agricultural in the amount of EUR
15,000, this undertaking can be granted with an aid in the amount of EUR 85,000 for its
road freight activities, taking into account the lower threshold of EUR 100,000. However,
if this company also carries out other activities (e.g. auditing), for these other activities
the threshold of EUR 200,000 defined in the Commission Regulation 1407/2013/EU
applies, therefore the undertaking can be granted with de minimis aid in the amount of
EUR 185,000.
̶ De minimis aid granted on the basis of the Commission Regulation 1407/2013/EU can be
cumulated with the de minimis aid for SGEI granted on the basis of the Commission Regulation
(EU) No 360/2012 of 25 April 2012 on the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on
the Functioning of the European Union to de minimis aid granted to undertakings providing
services of general economic interest (OJ L 114/8, 26.4.2012) up to the threshold of EUR
500,000 defined in the Commission Regulation 360/2012/EU.
̶ If an undertaking engaged in the fishing and aquaculture sector also carries out activities in one
or more sectors or other areas of activity on the basis of the Commission Regulation
1407/2013/EU, with regard to the activities belonging to the fishing and aquaculture sector, the
de minimis aid for fishery granted on the basis of the Commission Regulation (EU) No
717/2014/EU of 27 June 2014 on the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the
Functioning of the European Union to de minimis aid in the fishery and aquaculture sector (OJ
L 190/45, 28.6.2014) can be cumulated with the de minimis aid granted on the basis of the
Commission Regulation 1407/2013/EU, up to the threshold of EUR 200,000 and EUR 100,000 in
the case of companies performing commercial road freight transport for compensation, defined
in the Commission Regulation 1407/2013/EU.
The parties must keep the documents related to the aid for 10 years after the grant, and the applicant
must present them when requested by the grant authority. At the request of the European
Commission, information must be provided within 20 working days on the aid granted under the title
of de minimis.
