|
— |
order the Commission to bear its own costs and pay those incurrent by Ryanair, and order the interveners at first instance and in this appeal (if any) to bear their own costs. |

refer the case back to the General Court for reconsideration; |

Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the appellants rely on seven pleas in law.
First plea in law: the General Court erred in law and manifestly distorted the facts in rejecting the appellants’ claim that the Commission failed to review a possible ‘spill-over’ of aid to or from Lufthansa.
Second plea in law: the General Court erred in law in rejecting the appellants’ claim that the Commission breached the requirement that aid granted under Article 107(2)(b) TFEU is not to make good the damage suffered by a single victim.
Third plea in law: the General Court erred in law in rejecting the appellants’ claim that the non-discrimination principle has been unjustifiably violated.
Fourth plea in law: the General Court erred in law and manifestly distorted the facts in rejecting the appellants’ claim on the infringement of the freedom of establishment and the free provision of services.
Fifth plea in law: the General Court erred in law and manifestly distorted the facts in the application of Article 107(2)(B) TFEU and the proportionality principle in relation to damage caused to Austrian Airlines by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sixth plea in law: the General Court erred in law and manifestly distorted the facts regarding the failure to open a formal investigation procedure.
Seventh plea in law: the General Court erred in law and manifestly distorted the facts regarding the Commission’s failure to state reasons.
