Commission approves EUR 402 million Spanish State aid for road transport companies facing increased fuel prices
The aid will take the form of direct grants.
For beneficiaries who are eligible under an existing diesel tax refund scheme for professionals, the aid can cover up to 70% of the additional fuel costs resulting from the Middle East crisis incurred between 1 March and 30 June 2026.
For beneficiaries who are not eligible under that tax refund scheme, the aid can either be capped at EUR 50 000 per company or cover up to 70% of the additional fuel costs incurred between 1 March and 31 December 2026.
The scheme has been approved under the Middle East Crisis Temporary State Aid Framework (METSAF).
