112Accordingly, in order to determine whether a State measure constitutes aid, it is necessary to establish whether the recipient undertaking receives an economic advantage which it would not have obtained under normal market conditions (SFEI and Others, cited above, paragraph 60, and Case C-256/97 DM Transport [1999] ECR I-3913, paragraph 22). Article 87(1) EC does not distinguish between measures of State intervention by reference to their causes or aims but defines them in relation to their effects (Case C-56/93 Belgium v Commission [1996] ECR I-723, paragraph 79, and Case C-241/94 France v Commission [1996] ECR I-4551, paragraph 20).
