43Since the General Court thus correctly applied the criteria established by the relevant case-law, referred to in paragraphs 34 and 35 above, there was no error of law on its part. Having regard to the factual considerations at issue, which, moreover, fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the General Court, the relevant criterion which it had to take into account is whether there is a potential causal link, established to the requisite legal standard, between the alleged aid and the actual prejudice to the interests or market position of the undertaking concerned. By contrast, the question whether another category of economic operators may have contributed to the occurrence of the deficit at the level of the abovementioned aid scheme is irrelevant. Similarly, the possibility that RES producers and the suppliers were in a comparable situation, in the light of the objective of reducing the deficit on the special RES account, is irrelevant for the purposes of assessing the status of ‘interested party’, within the meaning of Article 1(h) of Regulation 2015/1589.
