Summary/Abstract: State aid in Poland is gradually beginning to take on the character of aid for stimulating social and economic development, one of the fundamental objectives of the renewed Lisbon Strategy. The article discusses state aid granted in Poland in the years 2007–2013. Analysis of the data for the period leads to the following conclusions: the beneficiaries of approximately half of the aid were large enterprises; the most frequently used aid instruments were grants (group A1); regional aid was awarded the most. After Poland’s accession to the EU, its differences from member states began to fade, thanks in part to the EC’s control and supervision of the provision of aid.
