EU Commission rules Polish aid to MAN factory illegal state support

The European Commission has determined that Poland's over 100 million zł in public aid to the MAN truck factory in Niepołomice, primarily a CIT exemption, violates EU state aid rules. This marks a formal finding against Polish regional investment incentives, potentially requiring repayment and setting a precedent for similar cases. The decision could strain Poland-EU relations over industrial policy and affect future investment attraction.
