25In that regard, it should be noted, first, as is apparent from settled case-law, that it is not for the Court to rule on the interpretation of national legislation (see, to that effect, judgment of 8 September 2022, Ametic, C‑263/21, EU:C:2022:644, paragraph 64). Secondly, it must be borne in mind that the date of the ‘start of production’ referred to in Paragraph 108(3) of the ELTS was used by the Commission in the 2014 Decision and in the 2017 Decision, adopted on the basis of the aid schemes notified by the Republic of Estonia, in order to establish the starting point for the period during which an economic operator may receive State aid under the old scheme. In particular, those decisions laid down conditions for the grant of the aid, including the condition that it could not be paid after a period of 12 years from the start of production had elapsed.
