90Accordingly, in paragraph 185 of the judgment under appeal, the General Court rightly pointed out, in that regard, on the basis of the case-law of the Court of Justice, that proceedings may be brought before national courts in matters relating to State aid which require them to interpret and apply the concept of aid referred to in Article 107(1) TFEU, in particular with a view to determining whether a State measure has been introduced in infringement of Article 108(3) TFEU. In contrast, national courts do not have jurisdiction to give a decision on whether State aid is compatible with the internal market. The assessment of the compatibility of aid measures or an aid scheme with the internal market falls, in fact, within the exclusive competence of the Commission, subject to review by the EU courts (see, to that effect, judgments of 18 July 2007, Lucchini, C‑119/05, EU:C:2007:434, paragraphs 50 to 52, and of 15 September 2016, PGE, C‑574/14, EU:C:2016:686, paragraphs 30 to 32).
