Court of Justice 27 February 2025, C-59/23 P (Republic of Austria v European Commission.)

Also known as

The Republic of Austria appeals against the General Court's dismissal of its action to annul the European Commission's decision that deemed compatible with the internal market Hungary's planned State aid for the construction of two new nuclear reactors at the Paks site. Austria argues that the absence of a public procurement procedure for the construction violates EU law and that the aid's compatibility assessment should consider other relevant EU legal provisions. The Advocate General's opinion addresses the legal implications of these arguments, particularly regarding the inextricable link between public procurement law and State aid regulations.AI
