39In the present case, the 2006 and 2007 decisions expressly reproduce the projections of the revenue generated by the three taxes which were notified by the French authorities to the Commission as the budget of the aid schemes in question. As regards, more specifically, the decision of 2007, that decision explicitly refers to the estimates of those authorities regarding the consequences of the reform of the tax on television services, which is the primary cause of the overall increase in the revenue from the three taxes during the period at issue. Paragraph 9 of that decision states that, according to those estimates, the reform ‘might ultimately yield, for [the] period [2009 to 2011], an increase in the support account of 2 to 3% (between EUR 11 million and EUR 16.5 million) per year’. Similarly, in paragraph 20 of that decision, those estimates were again referred to by the Commission when it assessed the impact of that reform on the compatibility of the aid scheme at issue with the internal market.
