As the Commission does not consider the safeguard clause in isolation, but takes into account the public service delegation contract as a whole, it considers that the grounds for this ruling on the above-mentioned clause are not relevant in determining whether the public service delegation contract as a whole includes elements of State aid.
Kuivõrd komisjon ei vaatle kaitseklauslit eraldiseisvana, vaid võtab arvesse kogu kontsessiooni tervikuna, leiab ta, et eespool osutatud klauslit hõlmava otsuse põhjendused ei ole asjakohased selleks, et hinnata, kas kontsessioon tervikuna hõlmab riigiabi tunnuseid.
