The EC does not allow governments to provide aid to businesses that have no chance of ever standing on their own feet, but will agree to temporary assistance if there is a real chance that a business in difficulty can eventually become more competitive as a result.
EC ne dozvoljava da vlade pružaju pomoć poduzećima koje nemaju izgleda za osamostaljivanje i oporavak, no pristaje na kratkoročnu pomoć u slučajevima kada postoje realni izgledi da tvrtka koja se nalazi u poteškoćama postane konkurentnija zahvaljujući takvoj pomoći.
