The EU Commission has cleared Germany’s amended state aid for Salzgitter’s SALCOS Stage I project, a large direct grant aimed at environmental protection in steel production. This means the aid can go ahead without further EU competition objections. The decision mainly affects Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH and the German ministry responsible for the grant. For business and compliance teams, the practical point is that the funding package is approved at EU level, so the project can continue under the approved terms and budget.
