Art. 2(1)

Size-cap rule


The rule that brings medium-sized and large enterprises in Annex I and II sectors into scope by default.

Medium-sized means 50 or more staff, or annual turnover and balance sheet total above EUR 10 million, using the definitions in Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC — which aggregate linked and partner enterprises. A subsidiary that looks small alone may count as medium-sized once the group is considered. Certain categories are in scope regardless of size.
