As shown by the financial data set out in paragraph 8 (and not disputed by France during the formal investigation procedure), AFR had had negative capital and reserves since 2001 and had not, at the time the aid was granted, been able to reverse this trend and move back into a positive situation as regards capital and reserves.
Punktis 8 osutatud finantsandmetest nähtub (neid andmeid ei ole Prantsusmaa uurimismenetluse käigus vaidlustanud), et AFRi omakapital oli negatiivne alates 2001. aastast ja laenu andmise ajaks ei olnud tal õnnestunud seda tendentsi muuta ega omakapitali plussi viia.
