15According to that case-law, ‘State aid’, as defined in the Treaty, is a legal concept which must be interpreted on the basis of objective factors. For that reason, the European Union judicature must in principle, having regard both to the specific features of the case before it and to the technical or complex nature of the Commission’s assessments, carry out a comprehensive review as to whether a measure falls within the scope of Article 107(1) TFEU. The European Union judicature must, inter alia, establish not only whether the evidence relied on is factually accurate, reliable and consistent but also whether that evidence contains all the relevant information which must be taken into account in order to assess a complex situation and whether it is capable of substantiating the conclusions drawn from it (see judgments in France v Ladbroke Racing and Commission, C‑83/98 P, EU:C:2000:248, paragraph 25; Commission v Scott, C‑290/07 P, EU:C:2010:480, paragraphs 64 and 65; and BNP Paribas and BNL v Commission, C‑452/10 P, EU:C:2012:366, paragraph 100 and the case-law cited).
