Pleas in law and main arguments
The first ground of appeal is directed against the finding in the judgment under appeal that Commission Decision 2016/1699 correctly defined the reference framework and also was justified in finding that the scheme derogates from the reference system.
The second ground of appeal is directed against the finding in the judgment under appeal that Commission Decision 2016/1699 was justified in qualifying the scheme as a selective measure.
The third ground of appeal is directed against the finding in the judgment under appeal that the recovery order, as expressed in Commission Decision 2016/1699, was justified.
(1) Commission Decision (EU) 2016/1699 of 11 January 2016 on the excess profit exemption State aid scheme SA.37667 (2015/C) (ex 2015/NN) implemented by Belgium (OJ 2016, L 260, p. 61).
