66It should be pointed out in that regard that it follows from the Court's previous decisions (see, for example, the judgment of 24 February 1987 in Case 310/85 Deufilv Commission [1987] ECR 901) that recovery of unlawful aid is the logical consequence of the finding that it is unlawful. Consequently, the recovery of State aid unlawfully granted for the purpose of reestablishing the previously existing situation cannot in principle be regarded as disproportionate to the objectives of the Treaty in regard to State aids.
