It is therefore possible to conclude that, while the Italian authorities have not been wrong in invoking Article 296 of the EC Treaty, it also appears that these measures had the effect of distorting the conditions of competition in the common market because they were also of benefit to the development of the AW139 civil helicopter.
Seetõttu on võimalik järeldada, et kuigi Itaalia ametiasutuste tuginemine EÜ asutamislepingu artiklile 296 ei olnud väär, näib siiski, et need meetmed moonutasid konkurentsitingimusi ühisturul, sest nendest oli kasu ka AW139 tsiviilhelikopteri väljatöötamiseks.
