Structured register of government actions in the geoeconomic space — export controls, tariffs, sanctions, FDI screening, subsidies, industrial-policy laws — cross-referenced into the country, minerals, and ETF surface. Charter: docs/IPTM_CHARTER.md.
Severity 1-5 is the qualitative impact rating (1=minor, 5=structural). The bilateral-trade-grounded quant scorer is the next IPTM milestone. RBI (Register Breadth Index) is a complementary structural-breadth indicator from scripts/py/iptm/breadth.py; divergence between RBI and severity is itself informative (high-sev / low-RBI = strategic chokepoint; low-sev / high-RBI = broad but shallow). Every action has at least one primary source URL. Verify-or-don't-file. See also themes, timeline, graph, sankey, map, country exposure, sector exposure, material exposure (+ graph), weekly briefs, portfolio scan, escalation monitor, trans-shipment hubs. Internal triage tools (RSS-poller candidate feed, source-feed health) live under /admin/candidates + /admin/sources. Subscribe via Atom feed (accepts ?country=CN, ?material=lithium, ?issuer=BIS, ?type=export_control, ?etf=SOXX, ?company=NVDA, ?minSeverity=4, ?year=2026, ?q=…) or pull /api/iptm/actions.
The European Commission cleared a EUR 172 million Dutch state-aid measure to fund preparatory activities of Nucleaire Energie Organisatie Nederland B.V. ("NEO NL"), the state-owned holding company the Dutch cabinet is establishing to develop two new nuclear power plants. The financing — provided as a state loan/capital contribution against a cabinet-requested ceiling of up to EUR 222 million for 2026-27 — covers technology-vendor selection, licensing work and other pre-construction preparation, and does not itself cover plant construction or operation. The Commission found the measure compatible with EU state-aid rules as contributing to decarbonisation of the Dutch energy mix.
The European Commission approved, under EU State aid rules, a EUR 1.2 billion Dutch scheme known as NIKI (Nationale Investeringsregeling Klimaatprojecten Industrie) on 20 May 2025. Administered by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the scheme funds direct grants to industrial enterprises (manufacturing, waste management and remediation activities, SBI code C and E-37/38.2) that cut lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions, and is the first EU State aid measure to run direct decarbonisation projects and resource-efficiency/circularity projects in the same competitive bidding process. Aid is awarded competitively by lowest euros requested per tonne of CO2-equivalent abated; each project must achieve a minimum lifecycle GHG reduction of 100,000 tonnes and request at least EUR 30 million in aid. The scheme runs through 31 December 2029.
