Både Polen og støttemodtageren fremsatte bemærkninger; selv om de bestred Kommissionens kompetence til at vurdere nogle af de pågældende foranstaltningers forenelighed med fællesmarkedet, gjorde de ikke indsigelse mod Kommissionens konklusion, ifølge hvilken disse foranstaltninger, i det omfang de var bevilget efter Polens tiltrædelse af EU, udgjorde statsstøtte i henhold til EF-traktatens artikel 87, stk. 1.
Both Poland and the recipient submitted comments; however, whereas they disputed the competence of the Commission to assess the compatibility of some of the measures concerned, they did not contest the Commission’s conclusion that, in so far as these measures had been granted after Poland’s accession to the EU, they constituted new aid within the meaning of Article 87(1) of the EC Treaty.
