Pleas in law and main arguments
By means of this application the applicant seeks annulment of the Commission implied decision rejecting the applicant's request, pursuant to Regulation No 1049/2001 (1), of the access to documents relating to State aid procedures concerning the presumed State aid granted through an agreement with the operator of Alghero airport. The said decision was followed by the express decision of 8 October 2008. The annulment of the express decision is alternatively sought by the applicant in the present case.
The pleas in law and main arguments relied on by the applicant are identical to those relied on in Case T-494/08 Ryanair v Commission.
