183If the Commission were required to adopt a definitive position, irrespective of the link between the aspect of the aid and the object of the aid at issue, in a procedure relating to State aid, on the existence or absence of an infringement of provisions of EU law distinct from those coming under Articles 107 TFEU and 108 TFEU, read together, where appropriate, with Article 106 TFEU, that would run counter to, first, the procedural rules and guarantees — which in part differ significantly and imply distinct legal consequences — specific to the procedures specially established for control of the application of those provisions and, second, the principle of autonomy of administrative procedures and remedies (judgment in BUPA and Others v Commission, cited in paragraph 132 above, EU:T:2008:29, paragraphs 313 and 314; see also, to that effect, judgments in Iannelli & Volpi, cited in paragraph 182 above, EU:C:1977:51, paragraph 12, and in Matra v Commission, cited in paragraph 25 above, EU:C:1993:239, paragraph 44). Such a requirement would also conflict with the derogation from the rules of the Treaty provided for in Article 106(2) TFEU, which could never be effective if its application were at the same time required to ensure full compliance with the rules from which it is supposed to derogate (judgment in BUPA and Others v Commission, cited in paragraph 132 above, EU:T:2008:29, paragraph 318).
