    Applicant: Commission of the European Communities (represented by: L. Flynn and E. Righini, agents)

    Defendant: Italian Republic

    Form of order sought

    —

    Declare that, by failing to take, within the prescribed time-limits, all the measures necessary to withdraw the aid scheme considered unlawful and incompatible with the common market by Commission Decision 2006/261/EC of 16 March 2005 on aid scheme C 8/2004 (ex NN 164/2003) implemented by Italy in favour of newly listed companies (notified on 17 March 2005 under document No C(2005) 591) (OJ 2006 L 94, p. 42) and to recover from the beneficiaries the aid granted under that scheme, the Italian Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Articles 2, 3 and 4 of that decision and the EC Treaty.

    —

    Order the Italian Republic to pay the costs.

    Pleas in law and main arguments

    The time-limit within which Italian Republic was required to withdraw the aid scheme and recover the unlawfully paid aid expired two months after the date of notification of the decision in question. More than four years later, the Italian authorities have recovered only approximately 25 % of the aid.
