55Principally, it must be recalled, in the first place, that it is clear from the case-law of the Court of Justice that the Member State to which a decision requiring recovery of unlawful aid declared incompatible with the internal market is addressed is obliged, under the fourth paragraph of Article 288 TFEU, to take all measures necessary to ensure implementation of that decision. It must succeed in actually recovering the sums owed in order to eliminate the distortion of competition caused by the anticompetitive advantage procured by that aid (judgment of 14 November 2018, Commission v Greece, C‑93/17, EU:C:2018:903, paragraph 68 and the case-law cited).
