      Application based on Article 263 TFEU seeking annulment of Commission Decision C(2018) 2259 final of 19 April 2018 relating to State aid SA.37433 (2017/FC) –Denmark, declaring, after the preliminary examination stage, that the contribution introduced by the lov nr. 902/2013 om ændring af lov om betalingsregler for spildevandsforsyningsselskaber m.v. (Betalingsstruktur for vandafledningsbidrag, bemyndigelse til opgørelse af særbidrag for behandling af særlig forurenet spildevand m.v.) (Law No 902/2013, amending the law establishing the rules relating to contributions owed to waste water treatment operators (structure of the contributions for the drainage of waste water, authorising special contributions for the treatment of particularly polluted waste water)) does not confer an advantage on specific undertakings and does not therefore constitute State Aid within the meaning of Article 107(1) TFEU.
