As regards the mechanism set up by the Region, the Commission, concurring with the Paris Administrative Court [31], finds that ‘undertakings operating in the scheduled passenger transport sector also operate in the occasional passenger transport sector […] hence, scheduled passenger transport undertakings which have received the above-mentioned subsidies may find themselves in competition with occasional passenger transport undertakings which have not been able to benefit from those subsidies, which are, as has been stated, reserved for undertakings operating scheduled routes’.
S'agissant de ces derniers, il est clair en particulier que le régime de subventions introduit par l'avenant no 3 du CT1 a été instauré en 2008 et ne peut être considéré comme une simple continuation du régime de la Région, malgré des similitudes dans l'esprit de ces deux régimes, ne serait-ce que parce que, dans ces deux régimes, l'autorité qui accorde les subventions n'est pas la même.
