In this context, in order to determine whether an advantage is being granted through a guarantee or a guarantee scheme, the European Court of Justice has confirmed in its recent judgments [5] that the European Commission should base its assessment on the principle of an investor operating in a market economy (hereafter referred to as the ‘market economy investor principle’).
Selleks et tuvastada, kas eelis on antud garantii või garantiikava kaudu, on Euroopa Kohus oma hiljutistes kohtuotsustes [5] leidnud, et Euroopa Komisjoni hinnang peaks põhinema samal põhimõttel, mille järgi investor tegutseb turumajandustingimustes (edaspidi „turumajandusliku investeerimise põhimõte”).
