81Accordingly, the annulment of the FRESH contracts, which Braesch and Others claim is liable to cause them, as holders of FRESH bonds, substantial economic damage, cannot be regarded as a binding effect of the decision at issue, since it does not result from the implementation of the aid at issue as such. Rather, it results from measures – which are indeed linked de facto, but which are legally distinct – adopted by the Member State that notified that aid to the Commission. The fact that those measures were, inter alia, adopted by that Member State with a view to obtaining from the Commission a decision authorising that aid and that they are the subject of commitments taken into account in such a decision of the Commission is irrelevant in that regard.
