I den såkaldte Air France-dom var disse oplysninger tilstrækkelige til at begrunde, at CDC måtte anses for at henhøre under den offentlige sektor, og at dets adfærd måtte tilregnes staten (jf. navnlig præmis 58-61 i dom af 12. december 1996, sag T-358/94, Air France mod Kommissionen, Sml. 1996 II, s. 2019).
In the Air France judgment, these elements sufficed to justify CDC being considered as a public-sector body whose conduct is imputable to the State (see in particular paragraphs 58 to 61 of the judgment of 12 December 1996 in case T-358/94 Air France v Commission [1996] ECR II-2019).
