Abstract
The authors in the article give an effort to systematically present the regulation of the state aid favouring employment. Therefore, to begin with, they analyse the notion of the state aid in general and their working and control mechanisms to better understand how significant the employment aids are. State aid subsidizing employment are scrutinised in regard to provisions of the General Block Exemption Regulation (no. 800/2008) and provisions of the other relevant legal sources.
Citing the European Court case law and practice of the European Union member states the authors emphasize the most common issues arising from procedures to grant state aid in order to suggest possible directions for Croatian state aid practice.
The authors apply a comparative method when analysing the practice of the European Union member states and point at financial aspects of the state aid supporting employment comparing it with situation in the Republic of Croatia. Furthermore, they present an overview of procedure which should be applied in cases of state aid subsidising employment as well as of its financing in the Republic of Croatia.
