Abstract
There has been an ongoing debate in the United States ever since the Report of the National Energy Policy Development Group was submitted for consideration by Vice President Dick Cheney to President George W. Bush on May 16, 2001. The statements and recommendations of the report have been so controversial since its public release that senate and house committee meetings have been held along with requests that the Vice President come before Congress to explain what was discussed behind closed doors.

According to the definition set out in Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty, State aid is incompatible with the common market if it is granted by a Member State or through State resources, if it distorts or threatens to distort competition by conferring an advantage on certain undertakings or the production of certain goods and if it is liable to affect trade between Member States. The form in which the aid is granted (interest rebates, tax reductions, loan guarantees, supply of goods or services on preferential terms or capital injections on terms not acceptable to a private investor) is irrelevant.
