Recital 24

(24) The Commission has a duty to ensure that State aid rules are complied with and are in accordance with the principle of sincere cooperation laid down in Article 4(3) of the Treaty on European Union. Member States should facilitate the fulfilment of this task by having in place the necessary tools to ensure that the total amount of de minimis aid granted to a single undertaking under the de minimis rule does not exceed the overall permissible ceiling. Member States should monitor the aid granted to ensure that the ceiling laid down in this Regulation is not exceeded and the cumulation rules are complied with. To comply with that obligation, Member States should provide complete information on de minimis aid granted in a central register at national or Union level, at the latest from 1 January 2026, and check that any new grant of aid does not exceed the ceiling laid down in this Regulation. The central register will help reducing the administrative burden for undertakings. Undertakings will no longer be required, under this Regulation, to keep track of and declare any other de minimis aid received, once the central register contains data for a period of 3 years. For the purposes of this Regulation, control of compliance with the ceiling laid down in this Regulation shall in principle be based on the information included in the central register.
