In summary
State intervention is a long-standing tradition in France. EU
state aid control rules apply to avoid any undue distortion of
competition. The European Commission has exclusive powers to
examine the compatibility of state aid with the internal market. National courts have a distinct but complementary role to safeguard
subjective rights of third parties affected by the granting of aid
that does not comply with the EU procedure.
