Briefings

The European Commission ruled on October 5, 2026, that Poland's proposed state aid to expand MAN Trucks' Niepołomice factory violates EU State aid rules. Consequently, the Polish authorities are prohibited from disbursing the requested financial support. This decision marks a significant regulatory intervention regarding industrial capacity expansion in Poland's Małopolskie region.

Key points

• The European Commission concluded that Poland's plan to support the extension of capacity of a MAN Trucks factory in Niepołomice is not in line with EU State aid rules.
• As a result, Poland cannot disburse the aid requested for the factory expansion project.
