42With regard to the argument of the Hellenic Republic that the implementation of Decision 2003/372 has encountered a certain number of national difficulties, it should be observed that, in such a situation, the Commission and the Member State concerned must respect the principle underlying Article 10 EC, which imposes a duty of genuine cooperation on the Member States and the Community institutions, and must work together in good faith with a view to overcoming difficulties whilst fully observing the Treaty provisions, and in particular the provisions on State aid (see Case C-348/93 Commission v Italy [1995] ECR I-673, paragraph 17, and Commission v France, cited above, paragraph 24). That has not happened in this case.
