Details
Streamlined Routes are voluntary mechanisms that can be used by UK public authorities to give certain subsidies. There will be no need to assess subsidies given under a Streamlined Route against the subsidy control principles, providing they comply with conditions set out in the Streamlined Route.
We have made 3 Streamlined Routes, which were made on the 5 January 2023 and laid before Parliament on 9 January 2023.
The 3 Streamlined Routes are for:
- research, development and innovation (subsidy control number: SC10780)
- energy usage (subsidy control number: SC10781)
- local growth (subsidy control number: SC10782)
To help public authorities interpret and comply with the Streamlined Routes we have produced and published accompanying guidance for each Route. Public authorities are strongly advised to consider the guidance documents when deciding to give subsidies under a Streamlined Route.
