Abstract
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) and the General Court, but also national courts, adopted significant rulings concerning the legal relevance of guidelines published by the Commission and the requirements of state aid law. Moreover, there were important rulings that concern guarantees and loans and the notion of state aid. In particular, in June 2013 the ECJ decided on an appeal by Ryanair against state aid supporting flag carriers. The ECJ upheld the General Court’s decision stating that the loan to Alitalia provided by the Italian state was unlawful, and that the sale of Alitalia assets did not involve state aid.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
