Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicant relies on two pleas in law.
1. |
First plea in law, alleging that the defendant erred in law when it carried out the compatibility test under Article 106(2) TFEU since it failed to draw the necessary consequences from the finding that the public service compensation to TV 2 had been granted in violation of the second and of the fourth Altmark conditions (Case C-280/00 Altmark Trans and Regierungspräsidium Magdeburg, ECR [2003] 7747).
|
2. |
Second plea in law, alleging that the defendant violated Article 296 TFEU since it failed to state the reasons for approving the aid under Article 106(2) TFEU when the second and the fourth Altmark conditions were not observed. |
