Consequently, since the measure under assessment enables RATP to avoid having to bear costs which would normally have had to be met out of the undertaking's own financial resources, the Commission considers that this measure confers an economic advantage within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
Dès lors, puisque la mesure en cause permet d’éviter de supporter des coûts qui auraient normalement dû grever les ressources financières propres de la RATP, la Commission estime que cette mesure octroie à l’opérateur un avantage économique au sens de l’article 87, paragraphe 1, du traité CE.
