81It should however be noted that, in accordance with recital 8 in the preamble to, and Article 2 of, Commission Regulation (EC) No 1998/2006 of 15 December 2006 on the application of Articles [87 EC and 88 EC] to de minimis aid (OJ 2007 L 139, p. 5), aid not exceeding a ceiling of EUR 200 000 over any period of three years is deemed not to affect trade between Member States and not to distort or threaten to distort competition. Such measures are excluded from the concept of State aid and are thus exempt from the notification requirement of Article 108(3) TFEU.
