1.

Is Article 107 TFEU, in conjunction with Article 4(3) TEU and Article 4(2) of the Decision of the European Commission of 25 September 2007 (1), to be interpreted as meaning that, where the European Commission classifies State aid as being compatible with the common market, the national court is not entitled to review whether the domestic provisions which have been deemed to constitute permitted State aid are consistent with the assumptions made in the Commission Communication relating to the methodology for analysing State aid linked to stranded costs (‘the Stranded Costs Methodology’)?

2.

Is Article 107 TFEU, in conjunction with Article 4(3) TEU and Article 4(1) and (2) of the Decision of the European Commission of 25 September 2007, interpreted in the light of points 3.3 and 4.2 of the Stranded Costs Methodology, to be interpreted as meaning that, in the context of the implementation of a State aid programme which the European Commission has found to be compatible with the common market, the annual adjustment of the stranded costs incurred by group-affiliated power generators is carried out on the assumption that the position with respect to the group affiliation of the power generator as recorded in the annexes to the legislative measure examined by the Commission is alone decisive, or is it necessary to verify in respect of every year for which stranded costs are adjusted whether, during that period, the beneficiary of the State aid programme linked to the stranded costs actually belongs to the group to which the other power generators covered by the aid programme also belong?
