         Pleas in law and main arguments
   The Commission puts forward a single ground of appeal. In finding that the contested decision failed to give adequate reasons to enable the effect of the aid on trade and competition to be identified, the Court of First Instance has infringed Article 87(1) EC, read in conjunction with Article 253 EC, and has stated contradictory grounds for the judgment.
