As regards the argument in the original notification to the effect that RAS behaved in a manner comparable to that of a market economy investor, the Commission points out that, in view of its performance in recent years and the change in its financial ratios [10], NMS had to be considered a ‘firm in difficulty’ within the meaning of Section 2.1 of the Guidelines.
Esialgses teates esitatud väite kohta, et RAS käitub sarnaselt turutingimustes tegutseva investoriga, märgib komisjon, et NMSi tuleb viimaste aastate majandustulemusi ja finantsnäitajate arengut [10] arvestades lugeda „raskustes olevaks äriühinguks” suuniste punkti 2.1 tähenduses.
