The application of article 86(2) EC to measures which do not fulfill the Altmark criteria; institutionalizing incoherence in the legal framework governing state compensation of public service obligations
Article Abstract:
The ramifications the Altmark judgment has had on legal certainty in the Community's state aid regime are examined, as the application of both the Altmark criteria and Article 86(2) EC to the same measure jeopardizes the legal certainty of those who finance and those who provide public services. The Commission's 'Monti package' is analyzed, and it is suggested that the application of the Altmark criteria in more cases would lead to less resort to Article 86(2) EC and thus less risk of incoherence.
