Press Release: Judgment of the Court of First Instance in Case T-196/04. Ryanair Ltd v Commission

The Court of First Instance annuls the Commission’s Decision on advantages granted by the Walloon region and by Charleroi Airport to Ryanair. The Commission’s refusal to examine together the advantages granted by the Walloon Region and by Charleroi Airport, and to determine whether, taken together, those two entities acted as rational operators in a market economy, is vitiated by an error in law.
