72In that regard, it should be noted, as is already apparent from paragraphs 52 to 54 and 64 above, that, by a decision such as the decision at issue, the Commission cannot impose or prohibit any action by the Member State concerned, but is only entitled to approve, by a decision not to raise objections, the planned aid as notified by that Member State, declaring that aid compatible with the internal market. By contrast, where the Commission has doubts as to the compatibility of the notified aid with the internal market, it is required to initiate the formal investigation procedure provided for in Article 108(2) TFEU and referred to in Article 4(4) of Regulation 2015/1589.
