Companies receiving support need to agree to appropriate conditions, including those relating to tax, supplier payment terms, climate change and corporate governance. Each company will be considered individually and there is no guarantee that support will be provided. As with any agreement, commercial and policy conditions are monitored using a variety of appropriate mechanisms.
