77The principles laid down by the two sets of guidelines are, in the light of those grounds, substantially identical, as the Commission stated at recital 31 (footnote 3) to the contested decision. Like the 1994 Guidelines, the 2001 Guidelines provide that investment aimed at protecting the environment is eligible (point 3.2.1 of the 1994 Guidelines and point 36 of the 2001 Guidelines, cited at paragraphs 6 and 10 above respectively), the 1994 Guidelines expressly precluding the grant of aid ostensibly intended for environmental protection measures but in fact for general investment. Both sets of guidelines also contain the same method of calculating the cost eligible for aid (point 3.2.1 of the 1994 Guidelines and point 37, cited at paragraph 11 above, of the 2001 Guidelines).
