Selv om nogle af disse indtægter (såsom salg af aktiver) kunne være anerkendt som egetbidrag i henhold til rammebestemmelserne (reelle, faktiske og ikke indebærende statsstøtte), finder Kommissionen i betragtning af værfternes ustabile situation, at de ekstra indtægter blev brugt til at begrænse tabene og ikke kunne bruges til reel omstrukturering.
Although some of this revenue (e.g. some of the assets sales) could have been qualified as own contributions within the meaning of the Guidelines (real, actual and free of State aid), the Commission considers, in view of the precarious financial situation of the two yards, that this additional revenue was used to reduce losses and could not have been used for genuine restructuring.
