The Case
The Commission had to be given prior notification, pursuant to art88(3) EC of a scheme of aid to shipbuilding and ship conversion, such as that at issue in the instant case, which did not fall within the scope of Council Directive (EEC) 90-684, if it was established that the scheme was capable of itself of giving rise to the grant of state aid within the meaning of art87(1) EC. It was for the national court, in cases of infringement of art88(3) EC, to draw the necessary consequences, in accordance with national its law, with regard to both the validity of the acts giving effect to the aid and the recovery of financial support granted in disregard of that provision.
