Press Release: Judgment of the Court of First Instance in Case T-388/03. Deutsche Post AG and DHL International v Commission

The Court of First Instance annuls the Commission decision approving a capital injection of EUR 297.5 million for Belgian postal operator, La Poste. The assessment of whether this measure was compatible with the common market presented serious difficulties requiring the initiation of the detailed investigation procedure which would have permitted Deutsche Post and DHL International to submit their observations.
