  • European Commission eAid (eAIR) Register

    Date published: 10 November 2025

    From 1st January 2026 all de minimis aid awards must be uploaded to the eAid Register.

    The European Commission de minimis register (eAIR) is a centralised system for recording State aid and de minimis aid.

    From 1st January 2026, all aid provided under the General de minimis Regulation and the SGEI (Services of General Economic Interest) de minimis Regulation must be registered on the de minimis section of the eAIR database. 

    From 1st January 2027, this requirement will also apply to aid granted under the Agricultural de minimis Regulation.

    The register will record all de minimis aid granted by Public Authorities. Once three years of awards have been captured, this system will replace the current practice whereby companies submit self-declarations and Authorities issue certificates at a later stage. This change is designed to enhance transparency and streamline administrative processes.

    All de minimis aid awarded will be publicly available on the de minimis section of the EU Commission's eAid Register.
