State-aids aiming at fostering industrialization and supporting regional development are being allowed in the European Union EU provided that they are compatible with the regulations. Despite that the aid discriminating between entrepreneurs and affecting the foreign trade is not being allowed in principle, there are substantial aids, based on some certain principals, to some enterprises, particularly the ones in relatively backward regions. Similar regulations such as "Priority Regions for Development" have been designed also in Turkey, as a country expecting a date for the EU membership in the near future. However those regulations have been altered quite often not necessarily for the primary aim, but particularly for the political rent expectations. Thus there have been some deviations in regulations, and failure in practice particularly in term of reducing regional income gaps. Despite that it is not a precondition for the adjustment procedure of Turkey to the EU, the revision of the regional development policy to set certain principals for state-aids will both ease to get the expected benefit and will also be helpful in adjusting to the fiscal rules of the Union in a possible membership period.
