Judgment_paragraph 181 · Technische Glaswerke Ilmenau GmbH v Commission of the European Communities (T-198/01)

181Given the discretion enjoyed by the Commission in monitoring State aid, and in particular in applying Article 87(3) EC, it is all the more important that observance of the right to be heard be guaranteed (Case C-269/90 Technische Universität München [1991] ECR I-5469, paragraph 13 et seq.; Case T-61/89 Dansk Pelsdymvlerforening v Commission [1992] ECR II-1931, paragraph 129; and Kaufring, paragraph 152). If that right were limited in the administrative procedure to the submission of comments under Article 88(2) EC, the aid recipient, whilst remaining entitled to state its position fully before the Court of First Instance, would enjoy only partial judicial protection.
