Da La Poste gennem de pågældende foranstaltninger undgår at skulle afholde omkostninger, som den normalt skulle have afholdt over sine egne midler, giver foranstaltningerne virksomheden en fordel i henhold til traktatens artikel 87, stk. 1.
And so, since the measures under review would relieve La Poste of costs that would normally have had to be financed from its own financial resources, these measures confer on the operator an advantage within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the Treaty.
