Formålet er at hindre, at virksomheder indrømmes en overkompensation, og at hindre, at kompensationen ydes i en form eller med et beløb, som giver virksomheden overskydende likvide midler, som den vil kunne afsætte til aktiviteter, der eventuelt kan skabe en fordrejning af konkurrencen.
The purpose of this condition is to avoid overcompensation being paid to undertakings and to avoid the situation where the type and amount of compensation granted means that the undertaking has surplus cash which it could devote to activities which might distort competition.
