De vanskeligheder, som samtlige virksomheder i det tidligere DDR stod over for efter genforeningen i forbindelse med privatiseringen, omfattes heller ikke af artikel 30 i forordning nr. 404/93, da Domstolen i T. Portdommen har fastslået, at de betingelser, hvorunder der i henhold til denne bestemmelse kan gøres undtagelse for særligt vanskelige tilfælde, er at rent individuel karakter.
Furthermore, the difficulties connected with the privatisation process which all undertakings in the former GDR encountered after reunification do not fall within the scope of Article 30 of Regulation No 404/93, in so far as the Court of Justice held in its judgment in T. Port, cited above, that the conditions required for the Commission to be able to lay down rules catering for cases of hardship under that article relate exclusively to individual cases.
