The Danish authorities maintain that the proposed measure does not involve State aid referring to previous Commission practice where, under certain conditions, support for infrastructure might not be interpreted as constituting State aid under Article 107(1) of the Treaty, and that the question of State aid should be assessed separately for each of the several different levels concerned (owner, operator and users).
Les autorités danoises concentrent leurs arguments sur l'absence — à leurs yeux — d'avantage économique et prétendent qu'aucune des parties concernées par le projet n'obtient d'avantage financier, direct ou indirect, en conséquence du cofinancement public.
