Voorbeeldzinnen

1. Contrary to the claims of the Greek authorities the measure therefore constitutes new aid in its entirety.
2. The Greek authorities informed the Commission, by letter dated 29 April 2004, that the abolition of the two measures was the intention of the ‘new administration’.
3. In this respect, the Greek authorities have further stated that the new legislation which came into force in December 2005 (Greek Law No 3429/2005) with regard to wholly or partially state-owned enterprises provides for the removal of the permanent status for new recruits only.
4. The Greek authorities confirmed that the measure applies to all firms established anywhere in Greece without any distinction between domestic and foreign firms or between new and old firms.
5. Upon expiry of the recognition, a new limited recognition was granted by Commission Decision 2001/890/EC [3], for a second period of three years and again with effects limited to Greece, at the request of the Greek authorities.
6. At the request of the Greek authorities, a new assessment of the organisation has been carried out on the basis of two fact-finding inspections carried out by EMSA between 12 and 20 November 2008.
7. With regard to the alleged advantages that OTE derived from its former monopoly position, the Greek authorities emphasise that since 2001, the Greek telecommunications market has been fully liberalised and subject to the ex ante regulatory supervision of EETT, the national regulatory authority. The alleged abusive behaviour of OTE would have to be dealt with under the respective sector-specific rules of the new regulatory framework and the relevant directives thereof.
8. Notwithstanding the obligation to dispose of the yards by sale referred to in paragraph 2, the Greek Government shall be allowed to maintain a 51 % majority holding in one of the yards if justified by defence interests’. The Commission observes that the Directive uses the words ‘selling […] to new owners’ and not ‘giving’ to new owners.
9. HSY submitted comments on the extension decision by letter of 30 October 2006. Paragraph 4 of this letter indicates ‘Given the fact that HSY has closely cooperated with the Greek State within the context of its reply to the European Commission, the Company does not believe it is necessary neither to resubmit information that has already been submitted by the Greek State, nor to set out the same arguments, the content of which it fully supports, but for the purpose of completion of the reply and in order to assist the Commission with its task, it will summarise the arguments already put forward and will submit any new evidence that was gathered during the time that has lapsed between the Greek State’s reply and the present reply and will present any new or supplementary arguments’. In the present decision, the comments of HSY and Greece on the extension decision will therefore be merged, instead of repeating twice the arguments.
10. HSY submitted comments on the extension decision by letter of 30 October 2006. Paragraph 4 of this letter indicates ‘Given the fact that HSY has closely cooperated with the Greek State within the context of its reply to the European Commission, the Company does not believe it is necessary neither to resubmit information that has already been submitted by the Greek State, nor to set out the same arguments, the content of which it fully supports, but for the purpose of completion of the reply and in order to assist the Commission with its task, it will summarise the arguments already put forward and will submit any new evidence that was gathered during the time that has lapsed between the Greek State’s reply and the present reply and will present any new or supplementary arguments’.

13. The Greek authorities claim that, when granting the extensions, they considered in good faith that they acted within the limits of the approval decision of the Commission and that it concerned an existing aid for which no new notification was necessary.
14. In particular, as regards, the argument of the Greek authorities that aid to undertakings which were already entitled to form a tax-exempt reserve fund under the former scheme constitutes existing aid, the Commission notes that the fact of being eligible under an existing scheme does not justify aid provided under a new scheme.
15. For the Greek authorities, the fact that the aid under examination was introduced by a different Law to the previous Law 2601/1998 does not suffice for it to be designated a new aid, according to the case law of the Court [76].
