Judgment_paragraph 110 · Salzgitter AG v Commission of the European Communities (T-308/00)

110Article 67 CS is intended to prevent the distortion of competition which exercise of the residual powers of the Member States inevitably entails (De Gezamenlijke Steenkolenmijnen in Limburg v High Authority, cited above in paragraph 27, p. 25; and Case T-6/99 ESF Elbe-Stahlwerke Feralpi v Commission [2001] ECR II-1523, paragraph 83). Article 67 CS thus simply lays down safeguard measures that the Community may adopt against action by a Member State which, whilst having considerable influence on the conditions of competition in the coal and steel industries, does not have an immediate and direct impact on them (Joined Cases 27/58 to 29/58 Hauts fourneaux et fonderies de Givors and Others v High Authority [1960] ECR 241, 274).
