Tiivistelmä
Many environmental services are not traded in markets but are rather public goods and their
supply cannot easily be motivated by the market forces. This leads to underinvestment in the
public goods relative to what would be socially desirable. Financial instruments are designed to
modify behaviour by encouraging private individuals, organisations and businesses to participate
actively in conservation. Nation states are ultimately responsible for providing public goods but
the competition rules of the European Union restrict the use of economic instruments that
constitute ‘state aid’ as defined in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).
This article will analyse the regulatory frames under which economic incentives may constitute
state aid in the meaning of 107 TFEU and the terms and conditions on which these aids may still
be granted for land-owners.
