36Thirdly, as regards the rules on State aid, the Court has held on numerous occasions that the objective pursued by State measures is not sufficient to exclude those measures from classification as ‘aid’ for the purposes of Article 107 TFEU. That article does not distinguish between measures of State intervention by reference to their causes or their aims but defines them in relation to their effects (see Case C-487/06 P British Aggregates v Commission [2008] ECR I-10515, paragraphs 84 and 85 and the case-law cited).
