EF-Domstolen statuerede, at Coillte, der er et irsk halvoffentligt selskab, som har til opgave at udvikle skovbruget, var en "offentlig enhed", hvorfor den ikke var støtteberettiget.
The European Court ruled that as Coillte, the Irish semi-state company responsible for forestry development, was a'public entity ', it was not entitled to such payments.
