Part 4: CMA: Referrals and functions Chapter 1: Functions on referrals of subsidies and schemes Section 62: CMA report following post-award referral
This section makes provision as to the content of the report which must be published by the CMA following a post-award referral (the ‘post-award referral report’). The CMA must evaluate any assessment which the public authority has provided as to whether the subsidy or scheme would comply with the subsidy control principles, prohibitions and requirements. If an assessment was not provided then that fact must be stated in the report along with any reasons provided by the public authority as to why an assessment was not undertaken. The CMA may, if the subsidy or scheme is ongoing, provide advice about how the subsidy or scheme might be modified with a view to ensuring compliance with the principles, prohibitions and requirements. The Secretary of State may make further provision by regulations as to the content and form of the post-award referral report.
