It then stated that 'the distinction made in [Article 87(1) EC] between"aid granted by a MemberState " and aid granted"tlrrough State resources" does not signiff that all advantages granted by a State, whether financed through State resources ornot, constitute aid but is intended merely to bring within that definition bothadvantages which are granted directly by the State and those granted by apublic or private body designated or established by the State'(paragraph 58).In the case in point, the Court found that the obligation imposed on privateelectricity supply undertakings to purchase electricity produced from renewableenergy sources at fixed minimum prices did not involve any direct or indirecttransfer of State resources to undertakings which produce that type ofelectricity.
Sondringen har alene til formäl at sikre, at ststtebegrebetikke aleneomfatter stotte ydet direkte af staten, men ligeledes ststte ydet af offentligeeller private organer, der er udpegeteller oprettetaf staten" (prremis 58).
Accordingly, there was no State aid for the purposes of Article 87EC.
I denkonkrete sag bemrerkede Domstolen, at den forpligtelse, der pähvilede deprivate elforsyningsvirksomheder til at ksbe elektricitet fremstillet fravedvarende energikilder til fastsatte mindstepriser,ikke udgjorde nogen direkteeller indirekte overfsrsel af statsmidler til producenterne af denne typeelektricitet.
The Court also rejected the Commission's argument, put forward in thealternative, that in order to preservethe effectiveness of the State aid rules,read in conjunction with Article 10 EC, it is necessary for the concept of Stateaid to be interpreted in such a way as to include support measures which aredecided upon by the State but financed by private undertakings.
Der var derfor ikke tale om statsstotte i artikel 87 EF's forstand.Domstolen forkastede ogsä Kommissionenssubsidiare anbringende om, atopretholdelsen af den effektive virkning af statsststtereglerne, samlnenholdtmed artikel 10 EF, indebar, at statsstottebegrebet mätte fortolkes säledes, atdet ogsä omfattede ststteforanstaltninger,der er indfsrt af staten, menfinansieres af private virksomheder.
The Courtheld that the Treaty articles concerning State aid refer directly to measuresemanating from the Member States. Article 10 EC cannot be used to extendthe scope of Article 87 EC to conduct by States that does not fall within it.
Domstolen fandt, at traktatens artikler omstatsststte direkte omhandlede de foranstaltninger, som trreffes afmedlemsstaterne.
In Case C4A0/99 ltaly v Commission (udgment of 9 October 2001, not yetpublished in the ECR), the Italian Republic had sought the annulment of a Commission decision to initiate the procedure under Article 88(2) EC in so faras that decision ruled on the suspension of the aid in question.

State State regards regards as as existing existing aid, aid, a a contrarycontrary classification as new aid, even if provisional,adopted by the Commission ina decision to initiate the procedure under Article 88(2) EC in relation to thataid, has independent legal effects.
Kommissionen havdeved sarskilt dokument nedlagt pästand om afvisning af sagen.Den gjordegeldende, at suspensionen af ststten fulgte direkte af artikel 88 EF snarere endaf dens egen beslutning.
The fact that, unlike the case of aninjunction addressed to a Member State to suspend aid, it is for the MemberState and, in appropriate cases, the economic operators concerned to draw theappropriate consequences from the decision themselves, does not affect thescope of its legal effects. The Court accordingly declared the actionadmissible.
Beslutningen om at indlede proceduren var kun en kunne derfor ikke anfegtes under et forberedende retsakt, og annullationssogsmäl.
It also held the actionadnnissible, for similar reasons, in relationto the measures which did not constitute aid in the Italian Government'ssubmission but whose suspension had none the less been ordered by thecontested decision.
