Operative part of the judgment
|
1. |
Article 108(3) TFEU must be interpreted as meaning that the obligation incumbent on national courts to order the recipient of State aid implemented in breach of that provision to pay illegality interest in respect of that aid also applies where, by its final decision, the European Commission finds that that aid is compatible with the internal market pursuant to Article 106(2) TFEU. |

2. |
Article 108(3) TFEU must be interpreted as meaning that the obligation which is incumbent on national courts to order the recipient of State aid implemented in breach of that provision to pay illegality interest in respect of that aid applies also to aid which that recipient has transferred to affiliated undertakings and to aid received by it from a publicly controlled undertaking. |
