Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper explores the political dynamics of state aid control in the European Union. Under the 1957 EEC Treaty, the European Commission was assigned both the responsibility and authority to enforce Community rules prohibiting state aids. And, yet, fifty years on, the conventional wisdom is that the Commission’s enforcement record in this area has been lacking. While the volume of aid appears on the decline, there remain many sectors that remain beyond the Commission’s effective control. The question animating this project is “why?” Why, when the Commission’s authority is both explicit and unambiguous, has it not achieve more? To answer this question, we draw on insights from agency theory. Specifically, we examine the “enforcement dilemma” faced by the Commission. On the one hand, governments delegated to the Commission the responsibility and authority to control state aids. On the other, governments made it clear that they were not eager for the Commission to exercise this mandate. For its part, the Commission was wary of the threat of re-contracting and, more ominously, the possibility of outright non-compliance. Caught in the horns of this dilemma, a pragmatic and politically-savvy Commission plied a middle course – pushing enforcement slowly, selectively, and only as far as governments would tolerate. The result has been an enforcement record that appears both checkered and uneven. But, contrary to those who assert that the Commission has performed poorly, we argue that the record should be regarded as a substantial achievement given the constraints within which it was forced to act.
